Increased autophagy and apoptosis contribute to muscle atrophy in a myotonic dystrophy type 1 Drosophila model
2015
ABSTRACT Muscle mass wasting is one of the most debilitating symptoms of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) disease, ultimately leading to immobility, respiratory defects, dysarthria, dysphagia and death in advanced stages of the disease. In order to study the molecular mechanisms leading to the degenerative loss of adult muscle tissue in DM1, we generated an inducible Drosophila model of expanded CTG trinucleotide repeat toxicity that resembles an adult-onset form of the disease. Heat-shock induced expression of 480 CUG repeats in adult flies resulted in a reduction in the area of the indirect flight muscles. In these model flies, reduction of muscle area was concomitant with increased apopto…
Cytocompatibility and Bioactive Properties of Hydraulic Calcium Silicate-Based Cements (HCSCs) on Stem Cells from Human Exfoliated Deciduous Teeth (S…
2020
The implementation of hydraulic calcium silicate-based endodontic cements (HCSCs) in biologically based endodontic procedures for the primary dentition has been recently investigated, focusing on the biological response of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) towards them. The present systematic review aimed to present a qualitative synthesis of the available literature consisting of in vitro assays, which assessed the cytocompatibility and bioactive properties of HCSCs in direct contact with SHEDs. Following the PRISMA statement, an electronic database search was carried out in Medline, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and SciELO on March 31st and updated on November 16t…
Performing sound of the past: Remix in electronic dance music culture
2014
The term remix, defined as an activity of taking data from pre-existing materials to combine them into new forms according to personal taste, relates to various elements and areas of contemporary culture. Whichever model used, consideration of the remix depends on recognition of pre-existing cultural codes. Therefore, as a second layer, the remix relies on the authority of the original and it functions at the meta-level. The audience may see a trace of history with the pre-existing object and the meaning creates in the viewer(s), reader(s), listener(s) or, in the contemporary world of DJs and popular electronic dance music culture - in dancer(s). With the aim of specifying modes of creating…
‘bien entendu’ vs ‘naturellement’: deux façons de désubjectiviser le dire
2011
Our study focuses on how the discourse markers (DM) participate in the construction of discursive alterity. In our approach, the DM builds, for an assertion, a guarantor with its own semantics, which is the semantics of the lexical element constituting the basis of DM. Naturellement and bien entendu build referential value which ”disempowers” the speaker as a guarantor of his words. This desubjectivation is realized differently in each case analyzed, and is determined by the semantic identity of the DM. In this article we analyze how the DM build modulated commitment of the speaker in his role as the guarantor, convened by the semantics of the DM in the ”disresponsibilization” of the speake…
Strategie autofinzionali in "Leggenda privata" di Michele Mari
2019
Leggenda privata (2017) is the latest in a series of autobiographical writings by Michele Mari. The novel is the factual narration of the author's childhood and adolescence, documented by family photos, but is also the narration of a fictional and fantastic situation of writing, where the reader is involved in live recording. In particular, the narrative framework is structured almost like a personal essay that engages dialogically the norms and potentials, opportunities and risks of a theory of autobiography. The purpose of this article is to explore the limits, the difficulties, indeed the impossibility of autobiographical writing in Leggenda Privata, which instead verges towards a comple…
The afterworld space in the "Poem strip" (1969) by Dino Buzzati
2018
L’obiettivo del contributo è l’analisi dello spazio oltremondano in Poema a fumetti(1969) di Dino Buzzati, graphic novelante-litteram. Buzzati riscrive, in chiave ultramoderna e laica, sia il mito di Orfeo ed Euridice, restituendo la centralità alla potenza della musica, sia il mito della discesa agli inferi, toposassoluto della letteratura italiana a partire da Dante e rappresentazione allegorica dell’oltretomba cristiano. In particolare Buzzati inventa una rappresentazione visiva dello spazio dell’aldilà dove sono essenziali due elementi: la continuità/discontinuità dei due mondi, nominalmente diversi, e le cornici che permettono il passaggio da un mondo all’altro. Il motivo ricorrente di…
Nye litteraturer: Litterære tekstpraksiser hos voksne innvandrere i norsk grunnskoleopplæring
2020
Voksne innvandrere som tar norsk grunnskoleeksamen har teksterfaringer fra litteraere tradisjoner som kan vaere ukjente i var sammenheng. Basert pa naermere tyve enkeltintervjuer undersoker denne studien bade tidligere og navaerende litteraere tekstpraksiser hos informanter fra Syria, Eritrea og Somalia. Ett av studiens funn er at enkelte informanter med svaert lite skolegang likevel har aktive litteraere tekstpraksiser. Imidlertid vil de fleste litteraere tekstpraksisene sannsynligvis ikke bli gjenkjent i skolesammenheng, ettersom de opptrer utenfor skolens domene og bare unntaksvis er knyttet til trykte, papirbaserte tekster, som boker. I stedet er youtube det mest brukte mediet. Studien …
