‘Whose were those feelings?’ : Affect and likenessing in Halat hisar live action role-playing game
2021
Halat hisar was a live action role-playing game (larp) organized in Finland in 2016. Halat hisar’s ambition as a larp was to mirror the current situation in Palestine. In larps, participants take on different roles and improvise without the presence of an audience. Larps offer a place where emotions and affectivities are transmitted through the embodiment of characters. Larps offer forms of likenessing, which create new affective states for the players. We conclude that larps can be powerful tools for portraying political alternatives of actual events, and they can serve a role in raising awareness. Larps offer a productive context for studying subjectivities where the focus is on affectiv…

Discovery of 2-aryl and 2-pyridinylbenzothiazoles endowed with antimicrobial and aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonistic activities
2020
Highlights • Sixteen functionalized benzothiazoles were evaluated as antimicrobial agents and as AhR modulators. • The benzothiazoles showed noticeable antimicrobial effects against Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens and against the yeast C. albicans. • Six benzothiazoles exhibited significant AhR agonist effects in a cell-based reporter gene assay. • Structure-activity relationship analysis exposed some relevant headings on the substituent's contributions to the studied biological effects. • Compound 12 displayed promising biocide activity and AhR agonism as well as an adequate ADMET profile and binding similarities with FICZ.
Targeting the aryl hydrocarbon receptor with a novel set of triarylmethanes
2020
International audience; The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a chemical sensor upregulating the transcription of responsive genes associated with endocrine homeostasis, oxidative balance and diverse metabolic, immunological and inflammatory processes, which have raised the pharmacological interest on its modulation. Herein, a novel set of 32 unsymmetrical triarylmethane (TAM) class of structures has been synthesized, characterized and their AhR transcriptional activity evaluated using a cell-based assay. Eight of the assayed TAM compounds (14, 15, 18, 19, 21, 22, 25, 28) exhibited AhR agonism but none of them showed antagonist effects. TAMs bearing benzotrifluoride, naphthol or heteroarom…
Christina Rossetti’s Speaking Likenesses: Different Forms of Travel in Victorian Children’s Literature
2011
Este artículo afirma que el interés victoriano por la reescritura de la literatura infantil va de la mano con su interés por la narrativa de viajes y de aventuras. Con la interpretación de diferentes formas de reescritura y de viajes, la edad de oro de la literatura infantil pone en relación el pasado y el presente. Dado que, tanto el acto de reescribir como el del viaje se encuentran en un lugar entremedias —entre pasado y presente, cerca y lejos, el texto original y su adaptación—, sugiero que la reescritura y el viaje colaboran en la narrativa infantil a la representación de la mujer errante e irónica. La primera parte del artículo describe la tradición de la narración y la adaptación de…
Obraz i podobieństwo Boże w myśli teologicznej św. Grzegorza z Nazjanzu
2020
Treść artykułu zawiera teologiczną i filologiczną analizę fragmentu Mowy 38, 11 (powtórzenie tego tekstu znajduje się w Mowie 45, 7), w którym Grzegorz z Nazjanzu przedstawił opis stworzenia człowieka. Jego pouczenia, które kierował do swoich słuchaczy, mają charakter homiletycznego wyjaśnienia, stąd też mówca nie wchodzi w obszar ścisłej teologii, a jedynie w przystępny sposób podaje zasadniczy przekaz biblijnej prawdy. Odwołuje się do Księgi Rodzaju (1,26-27 i 2,7), komentując zamieszczone tam znane powszechnie słowa dotyczące pojawienia się na ziemi istoty złożonej z ciała i duszy, mającej charakter obrazu Bożego i podobnej Bogu. Relacja Kapadocczyka jest niezwykle interesująca w swej wa…
From Myth to Science. A Short Survey on Heredity and Its Causes in Ancient Greece
2017
In this contribution, I deal with the notion of “cause” concerning hereditary diseases in ancient Greece. A notion of hereditary disease is already foreshadowed in myths, where guilt is often depicted as a pathologic contamination (miasma) affecting both the individual and his offspring (ghenos). The notion of miasma especially concerns diseases whose signs are not visible: in such cases, either gods or maleficent daemons were believed to harass human beings and inflict them punishments that took the shape of diseases. Contamination mainly spreads itself by means of blood-shedding: the slaughter of kinsmen (especially the murder of one’s parents) was widely considered as a main cause of man…
Olika fonetiska drags relativa betydelse för upplevd inföddlikhet i svenska
2017
I den här undersökningen analyseras olika fonetiska drags betydelse för upplevd inföddlikhet i sverigesvenska som andraspråk. Lyssnarna (n = 39) bedömde uttalets målspråklighet i imiterade talprov. Resultaten visar att de segmentella målspråksavvikelserna hade störst betydelse för upplevd inföddlikhet. Målspråksavvikelserna i yttrandeintonation, rytm och tonaccenterna påverkade inte lyssnarna i samma utsträckning som de segmentella bristerna. Prov med L2-intonation och målspråkliga segment fick lika bra bedömning – på gränsen mellan uppfattbar och icke-uppfattbar brytning – som prov med målspråklig intonation och målspråkliga segment. Om segmenten var målspråkliga, fick prov med L2-aktig ry…
