Indonesian domestic workers in Singapore: strategies for increasing income and building up savings
2014
The following essay studies the strategies and practices applied by Indonesian domestic workers in Singapore in order to accumulate money. This is done by presenting the background situation, especially regarding female labor migration from Indonesia to other countries, and examining the specific income conditions experienced by domestic workers in Singapore. The particular focus of this essay is on gaining a deeper understanding of how the women act within a restrictive framework, i.e. identifying their legal and illegal strategies for increasing their regular income and their “negative” income strategies and transnational strategies for building up savings.
Hemocyte migration during inflammatory-like reaction of Ciona intestinalis (Tunicata, ascidiacea).
2000
Following an injuring factor such as the injection of erythrocytes into the tunic of Ciona intestinalis, an inflammatory-like response occurs and blood cells are massively involved in these mechanisms. Electron microscope observations illustrate the infiltration and migration of blood cells throughout the mantle epithelium into the tunic and show several prominent morphological changes.
Iconic images. Contrast in the audiovisual representation of the 'little Aylan' in Spanish and European news television
2017
El objetivo de esta investigación es la realización de un análisis contrastivo de la cobertura televisiva de un acontecimiento dramático y de carácter global: la representación audiovisual de un naufragio en las costas de Turquía y, en particular, la recogida en la playa de Bodrum del cuerpo sin vida de un niño sirio de tres años llamado Aylan Kurdi. Su muerte se contextualiza en la huida desesperada de miles de personas hacia Europa, a través de un mar Mediterráneo donde muchos se han dejado la vida. Este estudio reúne las noticias emitidas, en la segunda edición de noche, de los informativos de las cinco grandes cadenas generalistas en España: Telecinco, Cuatro, Antena 3, La Sexta y TVE 1…

Imidazo[2,1-b] [1,3,4]thiadiazoles with antiproliferative activity against primary and gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer cells
2020
A new series of eighteen imidazo [2,1-b] [1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives was efficiently synthesized and screened for antiproliferative activity against the National Cancer Institute (NCI-60) cell lines panel. Two out of eighteen derivatives, compounds 12a and 12h, showed remarkably cytotoxic activity with the half maximal inhibitory concentration values (IC50) ranging from 0.23 to 11.4 μM, and 0.29–12.2 μM, respectively. However, two additional compounds, 12b and 13g, displayed remarkable in vitro antiproliferative activity against pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell lines, including immortalized (SUIT-2, Capan-1, Panc-1), primary (PDAC-3) and gemcitabine-resistant (Panc-1R), elici…

Diritto penale d'autore, diritto penale del nemico e diritto penale del fatto: quale modello per la posizione dello straniero?
2013
La svolta marcatamente repressiva degli strumenti penali del c.d. pacchetto sicurezza del 15 luglio 2009 disciplinanti il soggiorno di stranieri non comunitari ha indotto una molteplicità di effetti che verranno definiti come clandestinità derivata": a) intanto di tipo clandestino diventa l ingresso del diritto penale del nemico nel diritto dei cittadini; b) inoltre si può ritenere clandestino l intervento giurisprudenziale attuato miratamente a ricalibrare il rispetto dei diritti della persona e che diventa per questo a sua volta bersaglio dei nuovi interventi legislativi, tendenti ad escluderlo o quantomeno a circoscriverlo al massimo; c) infine si manifesta come clandestina l inclusione …
The Role of Language Testing in the Migration Flow to the European Union
Perlecan Maintains microvessel integrity in vivo and modulates their formation in vitro
2012
Perlecan is a heparan sulfate proteoglycan assembled into the vascular basement membranes (BMs) during vasculogenesis. In the present study we have investigated vessel formation in mice, teratomas and embryoid bodies (EBs) in the absence of perlecan. We found that perlecan was dispensable for blood vessel formation and maturation until embryonic day (E) 12.5. At later stages of development 40% of mutant embryos showed dilated microvessels in brain and skin, which ruptured and led to severe bleedings. Surprisingly, teratomas derived from perlecan-null ES cells showed efficient contribution of perlecan-deficient endothelial cells to an apparently normal tumor vasculature. However, in perlecan…
Zanim został ministrem: o kontaktach Ryszarda Zakrzewskiego z wywiadem PRL
2017
After the Second World War Ryszard Zakrzewski (1913–1994) was a well-known exile political and social activist in Great Britain. In the late 1940s he became one of the leaders of the Polish Socialist Party in emigration. He was also active in the Polish Ex-Combatants’ Association and the Federation of Poles in Great Britain. In 1956, the intelligence of the Polish People’s Republic got interested in his person. Over the next few years Zakrzewski maintained contacts with intelligence officers, employed as diplomats at the Polish Embassy in London. Despite the fact that he was not formally recruited, he provided information about activities of certain political groups on emigration, especiall…
