Green Wrocław: Urban Narratives of Three Post-War Generations of Wrocław’s Inhabitants
2020
This study is an invitation to reflect on issues that fall within the area of collective memory, an area that awaits further in-depth analysis. More specifically, this article is a proposal of a broader study on cultural landscape and places of memory than that which is dominant in the sociological literature. In particular, I examine the relationship between the inhabitants of the Polish “Western Lands” and the material German heritage of the cities in which they happen to live. I mainly focus on the relation between socially constructed memory and greenery—a “negligible” part of the space of human life. As I demonstrate in the article, the “green” narrations about Wrocław created after Wo…
Città Invisibili of Teatro Potlach: A Journey to Rediscover Our Cultural Heritage
2017
Città Invisibili is a multidisciplinary art project made by the Italian company Teatro Potlach. Compared to the canonical theatrical performances, Città Invisibili, being in its essence a site-specific performance, interacts with the place where it grows. With the project, the Italian group builds next to the existing space of the place (physical space and memory space) other two spaces, the space of the staging and the space of the performer, using different materials, in particular cloths and video projections. Moreover Teatro Potlach conducts a historical, anthropological and social research trying to bring out the latent memory of places. All these interventions bring out from the place…
Can persistent Epstein-Barr virus infection induce Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as a Pavlov reflex of the immune response?
2012
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a protracted illness condition (lasting even years) appearing with strong flu symptoms and systemic defiances by the immune system. Here, by means of statistical mechanics techniques, we study the most widely accepted picture for its genesis, namely a persistent acute mononucleosis infection, and we show how such infection may drive the immune system toward an out-of-equilibrium metastable state displaying chronic activation of both humoral and cellular responses (a state of full inflammation without a direct "causes-effect" reason). By exploiting a bridge with a neural scenario, we mirror killer lymphocytes $T_K$ and $B$ cells to neurons and helper lymphocytes $…
Combining dasatinib with dexamethasone long-term leads to maintenance of antiviral and antileukemia specific cytotoxic T cell responses in vitro
2012
Maintaining graft versus leukemia (GvL) and antivirus responses of cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) while suppressing graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) remains a challenge after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Clinical observations indicate that combining glucocorticoids with multi-tyrosine-kinase inhibitors could be a successful therapeutic approach. We and others have shown that the BCR-ABL/SRC kinase inhibitor dasatinib may enhance or suppress T cells in vitro. In this report, we evaluated combination effects of dasatinib and dexamethasone on CD3 + and virus-specific CD8 + T cells directly ex vivo and on antigen-specific leukemia-reactive and alloreactive CD8 + T cell clones. Functional o…
RNA Transfer by Electroporation into Mature Dendritic Cells Leading to Reactivation of Effector-Memory Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes: A Quantitative Analys…
2005
Previous studies have analyzed transfer of RNA-encoded tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) into immature dendritic cells (DCs) because of their exceptional ability to internalize antigens. Concerns have been raised regarding the use of immature DCs in clinical studies because of their capacity to tolerize T cells. Therefore, we focused on optimizing RNA transfer into mature DCs using the method of electroporation and obtained high protein expression in 90% of mature DCs. Particular emphasis was placed on quantifying RNA transfer. Reconstitution of peptide-MHC (pMHC) ligands on RNA-pulsed DCs was measured with the help of effector-memory cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) specific for the melanoma-…
La oscura memoria: cine negro y brechas fantásticas en Enterrar a los muertos (2005) y Las serpientes ciegas (2008) [Una contraposición]
2021
La literatura en torno a la memoria es uno de los puntales de la narrativa hispánica reciente. Lo que este artículo pretende es adentrarse en una de sus áreas más inexploradas (las purgas estalinistas en España durante la Guerra Civil) a través del análisis y la confrontación de dos obras tan reconocidas como heterodoxas: la novela Enterrar a los muertos, de Ignacio Martínez de Pisón, y el cómic Las serpientes ciegas, de Felipe Hernández Cava y Bartolomé Seguí. La pasarela que comunica ambos textos es la estética de cine negro que ambienta el cómic y que –como intentaremos demostrar– modula la tensión de la novela. El final del camino lo marca el empleo de lo fantástico por parte de Cava y …
Assembly of Polycomb complexes and silencing mechanisms
2003
Polycomb complexes assemble at their target sites and silence neighboring genes when these are not actively transcribed. The action of these complexes and of Trithorax complexes bound to the Polycomb Response Element establish alternative silent or derepressed states that are remembered through cell division and maintained for the rest of development. Recent results that may help explain the properties of these states are reviewed.
Body image and depression
2021
Abstract This chapter presents research findings on body image in depression sufferers. Body image is here considered to consist of three elements: image properties, body-self, and body memory. In depressed patients, the body image has characteristics typical to the disorder, influencing how they relate to themselves and their environment. Typical to the body image of depression sufferers experience low energy, discomfort in the body during social interaction, and a tendency to distance oneself from sensing the body. While having this fragmented connection to their own bodies, patients tend to ruminate on how others perceive them. Compared with standard care, dance movement therapy group tr…
Event-based encoding from digital magnetic compass and ultrasonic distance sensor for navigation in mobile systems
2016
Event-based encoding reduces the amount of generated data while keeping relevant information in the measured magnitude. While this encoding is mostly associated with spiking neuromorphic systems, it can be used in a broad spectrum of tasks. The extension of event-based data representation to other sensors would provide advantages related to bandwidth reduction, lower computing requirements, increased processing speed and data processing. This work describes two event-based encoding procedures (magnitude-event and rate-event) for two sensors widely used in industry, especially for navigation in mobile systems: digital magnetic compass and ultrasonic distance sensor. Encoded data meet Address…
Mašīnmācīšanās pielietojums sporta notikumu prognozēšanā
2017
Dažādu notikumu prognozēšana cilvēcei ir vienmēr bijusi aktuāla. Mūsdienās ir attīstījušās tehnoloģijas, lai to būtu iespējams paveikt balstoties uz pagātnes datiem. Darbā tiek apskatīta sporta notikumu prognozēšana, konkrēti futbola maču iznākumi. Tiek apskatītas vairākas mašīnmācīšanās metodes, kas būtu piemērotākās šī uzdevuma veikšanai. Tiek realizēti un optimizēti divi multi-slāņu perceptrona tīkli un viens vairākkārtējā neironu tīkla, konkrēti LSTM algoritms. Ar tiem tiek veikta simulācija izmantojot reālus datus. Vienā no simulācijām tiek sasniegts pozitīvs rezultāts, sezonas laikā algoritms gūst 65% peļņu.
