Nuclear localization but not PML protein is required for incorporation of the papillomavirus minor capsid protein L2 into virus-like particles.
2004
ABSTRACT Recent reports suggest that nuclear domain(s) 10 (ND10) is the site of papillomavirus morphogenesis. The viral genome replicates in or close to ND10. In addition, the minor capsid protein, L2, accumulates in these subnuclear structures and recruits the major capsid protein, L1. We have now used cell lines deficient for promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein, the main structural component of ND10, to study the role of this nuclear protein for L2 incorporation into virus-like particles (VLPs). L2 expressed in PML protein knockout (PML −/− ) cells accumulated in nuclear dots, which resemble L2 aggregates forming at ND10 in PML protein-containing cells. These L2 assemblies also attracted…
An Upper Mississippian echinoderm microfauna from the Genicera Formation of northern León (Carboniferous, Cantabrian Mountains, N Spain)
2020
For the first time an echinoderm microfauna is recorded from the cephalopod limestone facies (‘griotte facies’) of the lower Carboniferous (Mississippian) Genicera Fm. (Alba Fm.). The formation is widespread in the Cantabrian Mountains in NW Spain, but the ossicles are from some sections in the surroundings of the Bernesga valley in northern León. They have been derived from insoluble acetic acid residues from samples of the upper and especially of the uppermost part of the formation (Canalón Mb. and Millaró Beds). The microfauna include taxonomically treated wheel-shaped ossicles, sieve-plates and rods of holothurians, goniodonts of ophiocistioids, and ophiuroid and stenuroid skeletal elem…
Il senso del vivere, ovvero la vita come oggetto di studio antropologico
2017
Si può considerare l’esistenza un campo antropologico a tutti gli effetti? È fuor di luogo parlare di campo – esotizzante o meno che sia – a proposito di esistenza? Quali strumenti teorici utilizzare al fine di cogliere il senso dell’esistenza? In questo saggio, si focalizza l’attenzione sulla nozione di esistenza e sulle componenti che la caratterizzano in relazione ad altre nozioni ugualmente importanti in antropologia quali cultura, esperienza, potere, sapere, etc. Il tentativo è di trovare risposte mettendo a fronte questioni centrali in antropologia in modo non oppositivo bensì per tratti continui e/o discontinui: ‘religione come senso quieto del vivere’ e ‘ribellione ai codici dominan…
АНТРОПОМОРФНЫЙ ВОТИВНЫЙ ХЛЕБ В ИТАЛЬЯНСКИХ ПРАЗДНИКАХ
2014
In Italy there are various records of the recurring presence of ceremonial breads; among these we may observe votive anthropomorphic breads, in particular in Sicily. These “special” breads are prepared for calendar festivals, for the patron saints’ days celebrations or anyway for celebrations of particular relevance for single communities, being connected to critical phases of the wheat cycle: that is to say, the month of May, the earing season, and June—July, the harvest season. This allows us to make the hypothesis that a devotional and votive value as regards these breads might be added to a more ancient logic of offerings to deities, connected to a vision of the rural world. In this sen…
Vulnerabilità sulla scena. Temi etici e soluzioni drammaturgiche nella "Medea" di Seneca
2018
La Medea di Seneca racconta una storia di vulnerabilità? Questo saggio propone una lettura della tragedia usando il concetto di vulnerabilità non come criterio per verificare la correttezza degli assunti stoici in materia di condotta morale, ma quale paradigma di relazione tra soggetti che, per definirsi, si consegnano gli uni agli altri, esponendosi, e su tale esposizione mettono alla prova l’identità personale e la fallibilità dell’autonomia morale. In questa idea di vulnerabilità non si trova solo una lente per formulare domande di natura etica, ma anche un utile strumento di analisi del meccanismo drammaturgico senecano. Is Seneca’s Medea a story of vulnerability? This paper aims to rea…
Musiikin integrointi taito- ja taideaineisiin luokkien 1-4 opetuksessa : "ei mahdollisuus, vaan arkipäivää"
2015
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää musiikin merkitystä ja käyttötapoja taito- ja taideaineiden opetuksessa peruskoulun luokilla 1–4. Lisäksi tehtävänä on kartoittaa minkälainen merkitys opettajankoulutuksella, työpaikan kannustuksella ja puitteilla sekä opettajan omalla kiinnostuksella on musiikin integrointimahdollisuuksiin. Työssäni käytän kvalitatiivista tutkimusmenetelmää. Työ koostuu teoria- ja empiirisestä tutkimusosuudesta. Teoriaosuudessa avaan integroinnin käsitettä, kerron musiikin integroinnista osana taito- ja taideaineiden opetusta, vertaan integrointia eri opetussuunnitelmien osalta ja esittelen tutkimukseeni liittyviä aikaisempia tutkimuksia. Aineistonkeruumenetelmä…
Una más de la familia. Au pairs atrapadas entre el capital humano y la economía moral
2018
In contemporary societies we are witnessing an expansion of the messages of human capital. These messages have as their central dimension idea of the self-entrepreneur, which implies a deepening in the logic of activation, while blurring the wage relations. In this scenario, young people with university degrees are becoming a favourite target in the offensive of human capital. The penetration of these human capital messages can be seen in the discourses of young university students who have been forced to leave the country during the crisis. In the present text we approach the discourses of young women who came out as au pairs. The characteristics of this figure place it in a space halfway …
Relazioni tra parametri biometrici in Marthasterias glacialis (L.) (Asteroidea)
2013
Biometric parameters of the Asteroid echinoderm Marthasterias glacialis (L.) were measured at Ustica Island MPA (SW Tyrrhenian Sea). Wet weight was correlated with tip-to-tip (arm-span) diameter, central disk, arm length, arm width and arm height. Results show high positive correlation between weight and arm height, suggesting a new useful method to estimate starfish size also for in situ measurements.
Quando Gilgameš taglia i “cedri”. Gli alberi nell’immaginario mitologico mesopotamico
2021
In the Sumerian and Akkadian mythological literature, the ruler of the city of Uruk, Gilgameš, uproots and/or cuts down trees on several occasions: the ḫalub-tree (mahaleb cherry) linked to the goddess Inanna and the eren (juniper)/erēnu (cedar) trees of the Forest guarded by Ḫuwawa. These trees should be understood as elements of a wider "wilderness", with which they share a powerful and ambiguous ontological otherness, as opposed to the city and the country of Sumer. In order to become useful, this otherness must be conducted in the city and subject to processes of organization. This article illustrates the symbolic implications of the uprooting, cutting down and subsequent transport of t…
Futile Therapy versus Worthy Dying: Anthropological and Ethical Arguments
2020
Nowadays, issues related to the final stages of life stand more and more at the centre of problems relating to life and health, which result, for example, from the demographic situation in highly developed societies. In the last decades of the twentieth century, an explosion of therapeutic possibilities in the field of technical medicine has caused such questions to be voiced more and more frequently: Should humans try to live as long as possible, or should they live as long as they can with dignity and then die with dignity? Despite the seemingly obvious answer, there is still considerable medical and social resistance to the policy of discontinuing futile therapy. There are probably many …
