La fiaba del Mediterraneo Nero: Quando il cielo vuole spuntano le stelle di E.C. Osondu
2022
Pubblicato in prima mondiale in italiano nel 2020, Quando il cielo vuole spuntano le stelle del nigeriano E.C. Osondu racconta, attraverso lo sguardo e la voce di un giovane africano di un paese non meglio identificato, uno dei fenomeni più significativi della nostra storia contemporanea, l’odissea di chi sfida il Mediterraneo per raggiungere l’Europa. Il protagonista di questo classico romanzo di formazione dai toni fiabeschi sogna di arrivare a Roma, città sacra nota per la sua bellezza. Per raggiungerla, il giovane attraverserà il deserto e il mare, incontrando un’umanità in movimento, con cui condividerà storie, esperienze, aspirazioni. Il viaggio è rito di passaggio intimo ma anche con…
La interculturalitat a la literatura infantil i juvenil catalana
2016
Resum: Aquest article analitza la presència de la interculturalitat en la literatura infantil i juvenil (LIJ) escrita en català en els anys 2002-2006, un període d’especial augment de la immigració i també dels debats sobre l’educació intercultural a casa nostra. L’estudi, fet a partir d’un corpus de 95 llibres triats a través de l’encreuament de diversos factors de selecció (premis literaris, llistes de recomanació i ressenyes positives), permet acostar-nos al tema de la diversitat cultural expressada des d’una perspectiva àmplia. Com a conclusió, però, considerem que la LIJ catalana del període estudiat no dóna compte d’aquesta diversitat cultural. Ni la ja existent, ni la creada per les …
The Novel as Third Space in the Struggle for One’s Own Place: Witold Gombrowicz’s Hidden Polemic with German Literature in „Pornografia”
2020
This paper deals with Gombrowicz’s novel „Pornografia” which can be interpreted as a third space where different literary discourses and philosophical concepts are interwoven. In this respect two German authors deserve special attention: Thomas Mann and Friedrich Nietzsche. It is the aim of this article to show to what extent Gombrowicz refers to the writings of these two authors in his attempt to establish himself as an important writer during his exile in Argentina. The novel „Pornografia” works in this respect as a sphere of interferences and a space of emerging hybridity, where Gombrowicz creates a special textuality consisting of hidden references to and even polemic with both Mann and…
StellaTUM: current consensus and discussion on pancreatic stellate cell research
2011
The field of pancreatic stellate cell (PSC) biology is very young, as the essential in-vitro tools to study these cells (ie, methods to isolate and culture PSC) were only developed as recently as in 1998. Nonetheless, there has been an exponential increase in research output in this field over the past decade, with numerous research groups around the world focusing their energies into elucidating the biology and function of these cells. It is now well established that PSC are responsible for producing the stromal reaction (fibrosis) of two major diseases of the pancreas—chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. Despite exponentially increasing data, the methods for studying PSC remain var…
Identità russe in transito nella New York di Ljudmila Ulickaja
2021
The essay analyses the atypical concept of border in the povest' by Ljudmila Ulickaja 'Veselye pochorony' (1997). This short novel offers several images related to the symbolic setting represented mainly by the city of New York, which embodies an idealized 'border city', where some Russians immigrants arrive and meet in 1991. First of all my research aims to to examine the role played by a few peculiar places represented in 'Veselye pochorony', in order to highlight the emotional dynamics of some Ulickaja's characters, who have to face the difficulties of integration in a cultural and social environment, totally different from the one they come from. Moreover this essay investigates the dev…
Chronic high risk of intimate partner violence against women in disadvantaged neighborhoods: An eight-year space-time analysis
2020
Abstract We conducted a small-area ecological longitudinal study to analyze neighborhood contextual influences on the spatio-temporal variations in intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) risk in a southern European city over an eight-year period. We used geocoded data of IPVAW cases with associated protection orders (n = 5867) in the city of Valencia, Spain (2011–2018). The city's 552 census block groups were used as the neighborhood units. Neighborhood-level covariates were: income, education, immigrant concentration, residential instability, alcohol outlet density, and criminality. We used a Bayesian autoregressive approach to spatio-temporal disease mapping. Neighborhoods with l…
Immigrant status, gender, and school burnout in Finnish lower secondary school students : A longitudinal study
2017
The aim of this longitudinal study among 9223 students from grade 7 and grade 9 (age 13–14 and 15–16) was to assess whether immigrant status and gender are associated with the level and change (slope) in school burnout among lower secondary school students in the Helsinki metropolitan area. Ninety-seven percent of the variation in school burnout was attributable to individual factors. Both the intercept (2.3, p < 0.001) and slope (0.5, p < 0.001) of school burnout were statistically significant. The slope showed increasing school burnout from grades 7–9. School burnout increased more in girls than in boys. Initially apparent higher school burnout among students who had immigrated to …
Iedzīvotāju skaita samazināšanās un jauniešu emigrācija Latvijā un Lietuvā
2018
Maģistra darba mērķis ir aprakstīt un analizēt demogrāfiskās tendences iedzīvotāju migrācijā, novecošanā, populācijas sarukšanā, intelektuālā darbaspēka emigrācijā un izvērtēt šos kritērijus Lietuvā un Latvijā. Kādas ir dažādo demogrāfisko parādību definīcijas un to atšķirības un kā tās tiek pielietotas Lietuvā un Latvijā salīdzinājumā ar pārējo pasauli un Eiropas Savienību? Un kāda ir Lietuvas un Latvijas jaunatnes motivācija dzīvot, strādāt un veidot ģimenes savā dzimtenē? Ko veicina augsts negatīvās migrācijas, iedzīvotāju skaita samazināšanās un novecošanas rādītājs Lietuvā un Latvijā un kāpēc tas ir tik svarīgs jautājums? Darbā tiks analizēti notikumi no 90. gadu sākuma līdz mūsdienām …
Między Starą a Nową Ojczyzną – muzyczna aktywność cymbalistów na Dolnym Śląsku w latach 50. XX wieku
2022
W artykule omówiono zagadnienie muzycznej aktywności cymbalistów, którzy zmuszeni byli do migracji z przedwojennych kresów wschodnich (Wileńszczyzny, Galicji Wschodniej) na Dolny Śląsk po II wojnie światowej. Będąc nowymi osadnikami na tzw. Ziemiach Odzyskanych, otoczeni ludnością o różnym pochodzeniu regionalnym, cymbaliści próbowali w nowych warunkach kontynuować muzyczną działalność. W tekście ukazane są różne sposoby adaptacji do nowej sytuacji wykonawczej w nowym miejscu zamieszkania: budowanie kolejnych instrumentów, granie w kapelach ludowych składających się z członków o różnym pochodzeniu regionalnym, próby indywidualnego muzykowania oparte na wykonywaniu muzyki tanecznej z regionu…
The impact of conventional and heavy ion irradiation on tumor cell migration in vitro.
2007
The influence of X-ray and (12)C heavy ion irradiation on tumor cell migration and of beta(3) and beta(1) integrin expression was investigated.Two different tumor cell lines (U87 glioma and HCT116 colon carcinoma cells) were irradiated with 1, 3, or 10 Gy X-rays or (12)C heavy ions. 24 h after irradiation a standardized Boyden Chamber assay for migration analysis was performed and cells were lysed for Western blotting.Radiation-induced influences were cell line- and radiation type-dependent. X-rays decreased HCT116 migration at higher doses and appear to increase U87 migration after 3 Gy. Heavy ions decreased migration of both cell lines dose-dependently. A trend of increased beta(3) and be…
