Circumventing deadlock through venue-shopping: Why there is more than just talk in US immigration politics in times of economic crisis

2016

This article addresses the question of how the financial and economic crisis that hit the US in the late 2000s impacted immigration policies. We find that the crisis has not significantly changed dynamics. Instead, it has highlighted and aggravated persisting trends. Drawing on Kingdon’s multiple streams model and combining it with the notion of two-level games, we find that while the policy stream and the problem stream would call for both restrictive and liberalising changes, the political stream impedes change: The fact that Congress has been divided for a long time over Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR) impedes any restrictive or liberalising changes. With problems resulting from c…

I reati culturalmente orientati. Cultura dell'altro e diritto penale.

2012

Il contributo esamina le peculiari caratteristiche dei reati culturalmente orientati. Dopo aver esaminato i principali modelli politici di regolamentazione della diversità culturale, l'Autore si interroga su quali possano essere gli strumenti giuridici più adeguati per garantire, da un lato, il rispetto dell'identità culturale del reo e, dall'altro, i diritti fondamentali della vittima.

Integrazione attraverso il diritto penale? Dal migrante autore di reato al migrante vittima del sistema

2015

L'introduzione di fattispecie a tutela del migrante come vittima, ma soprattutto la pratica di meccanismi interpretativi rivolti al medesimo risultato, produce l'incongruenza della sua criminalizzazione e dunque l'estromissione di fattispecie in cui essere immigrato clandestino è un reato. Perché nel conflitto tra i diversi interessi è destinato a prevalere quello che preferisce la tutela del migrante come vittima. L'utilizzo di una prospettiva vittimocentrica attraverso l'impiego degli strumenti penali in funzione di integrazione e non di esclusione, permette una migliore affermazione del principio di uguaglianza. Ciò è possibile con il principio di territorialità nel favoreggiamento, il g…

Molte Palermo. Temi

2019

Nel tema delle incompiute idee di città possibili si riconoscerà il paradigma connotativo dello stesso divenire di Palermo, lungo un percorso millenario di processi di trasformazione nessuno dei quali portato a compimento, in virtù di quel valore distintivo di exemplum che non necessita di ulteriori e conclusive dimostrazioni. Il corso della storia, del resto, ha imposto a Palermo il ciclico riproporsi di destini interrotti. Tale si rilevò l’invenzione della città capitale, quella della “quadratura geometrica e della croce di strade” sovrimpressa a quella archetipica e fondativa della Pan-ormos scambiatrice. E l’incompiutezza sarà il tratto distintivo della città dei rettifili stradali otto…

In the theme of unfinished ideas of possible cities will recognize the connotative paradigm of the evolution of Palermo will be recognised along a thousand year path of transformational processes none of which was completed by virtue of the distinctive value of exemplum that does not require additional and conclusive demonstrations. The course of history has moreover imposed on Palermo a cyclical recurrence of broken destinies. This was evidence of the invention of the capital city that of the “geometric square and the cross roads” superimposed on the archetypal underpinning of Pan-ormos as a place of exchange. And incompleteness will be the hallmark of the city of the nineteenth century straight roads heading towards undefined destinations the symptomatic expression of the idea of a preordained effect of suspension. Similarly unfinished will be the Palermo of the redevelopment plans in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries upto the shapeless development of the contemporary city and the new arterial routes (the Circonvallazione) manifestations of further “Palermo as abstraction” ever more distant from “Palermo as places”. A city ultimately characterized by continuous metamorphoses replacement of values absorptions oblivion and cultural desecration. From this distance one can indeed observe Palermo from a marginal and peripherical point of view as regards its urban limits opening up a different prospect penetrating and maybe even superior able to understand facts and phenomena in depth.Settore ICAR/14 - Composizione Architettonica E Urbana

The aim of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of challenges and factors which influence learning efficiency with electronic-portfolios. Based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM; Davis, Bagozzi, & Warshaw, 1989) we analyzed external variables (e.g., computer-anxiety) that influence technology acceptance and the actual system use in form of self-regulated learning. Additionally we included computer related attitudes and correlated them with external variables as well as measures of self-regulated learning. To foster learning efficacy with electronic portfolios the program Microsoft OneNote was used. A group of N = 32 preservice teachers worked on an electronic-port…

Les privatisations de l'éducation

2019

International audience; Les processus de privatisation « en » éducation et « de » l'éducation concernent désormais la plupart des pays du monde. Dans un contexte de mondialisation et d'internationalisation accrues des systèmes éducatifs, la mise en oeuvre, ces dernières décennies, de mesures spécifiques de privatisation, le développement d'un secteur marchand de l'éducation, mais aussi des évolutions sociétales de fond concernant les notions d'individualisme et d'individu interrogent d'une nouvelle manière les enjeux liés aux privatisations.La promotion des intérêts privés est-elle compatible avec un processus d'éducation ? Induit-elle irrémédiablement, par exemple, une conception utilitari…

IL-4-mediated drug resistance in colon cancer stem cells

2008

Cancer stem cells are defined as cells able to both extensively self-renew and differentiate into progenitors. Cancer stem cells are thus likely to be responsible for maintaining or spreading a cancer, and may be the most relevant targets for cancer therapy. The CD133 glycoprotein was recently described as a reliable cancer stem-like cell marker in colon carcinoma. CD133+ cells are both necessary and sufficient to initiate tumour growth in animal models. The CD133+ cell population and spheroid cultures contain cells expressing the stem cell marker Musashi-1 which is involved in maintenance of stem cell fate in several tissues and importantly, this expression is maintained in stem-like cells…
