Efforts to maintain Latvian identity in Augšbebri village, Omsk region
2015
Driven by various motives, Latvian emigrants and exiles have been voluntarily or involuntarily choosing various regions of the world as their new home. Siberia is one such region – the first Latvian exiles were deported to this remote Russian territory already in the 18th century and a new wave of settlers moved there on their own accord in search of a better life in the early 19th century. Some of the Latvian villages have survived in Russia to this day. Augšbebri (Bobrovka) village in the Tara district, Omsk region, is one of them. Augšbebri village was founded in 1897 when the first settlers from Latvia registered as residents there. The modern-day residents of Augšbebri are the sixth ge…

The Challenges of the Schengen Area
2016
After focusing on the Euro crisis, European leaders are now struggling with the biggest migrant crisis since Second World War. Up to now, over 1.1 million migrants have requested protection in Europe, and their number is growing every day. The functioning of the Schengen area is in danger due to control deficiencies at external borders. As it’s facing this challenge, the EU is constantly seeking solutions designed to restore the proper functioning of the system and prevent its collapse.

Macrophages as an Emerging Source of Wnt Ligands: Relevance in Mucosal Integrity
2019
The Wnt signaling pathway is a conserved pathway involved in important cellular processes such as the control of embryonic development, cellular polarity, cellular migration, and cell proliferation. In addition to playing a central role during embryogenesis, this pathway is also an essential part of adult homeostasis. Indeed, it controls the proliferation of epithelial cells in different organs such as intestine, lung, and kidney, and guarantees the maintenance of the mucosa in physiological conditions. The origin of this molecular pathway is the binding between Wnt ligands (belonging to a family of 19 different homologous secreted glycoproteins) and their specific membrane receptors, from …
Blockade of MIF–CD74 Signalling on Macrophages and Dendritic Cells Restores the Antitumour Immune Response Against Metastatic Melanoma
2018
Mounting an effective immune response against cancer requires the activation of innate and adaptive immune cells. Metastatic melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer. While immunotherapies have shown a remarkable success in melanoma treatment, patients develop resistance by mechanisms that include the establishment of an immune suppressive tumor microenvironment. Thus, understanding how metastatic melanoma cells suppress the immune system is vital to develop effective immunotherapies against this disease. In this study, we find that macrophages (MOs) and dendritic cells (DCs) are suppressed in metastatic melanoma and that the Ig-CDR-based peptide C36L1 is able to restore MOs and …
ELF e le varietà linguistiche afro-asiatiche nella Sicilia dei migranti
2015
This study arises from recent research within the context of a new Sicily, where the various ethnic groups inhabiting it have become EFL users who have different cultural and linguistic backgrounds and appropriate the English without necessarily conforming to its grammatical and lexical norms. This phenomenon places Sicily in a complex position with regard to the construction of EFL speakers and English itself becomes the language that is used for everyday conversations and social interactions within and outside the communities in Sicily. Though Sicily is not a British ex-colony, a high number of immigrants living there speaks the so-called New Englishes as a result of British colonization.…
New Comers, fiducia e frammentazione sociale nelle comunità a forte differenziazione culturale
2010
L’articolo ha come base empirica uno studio di comunità svolto in un microcosmo siciliano, Mazara del Vallo, assunto come paradigma delle società a forte differenziazione culturale, in cui la pluridecennale convivenza tradizionale tra autoctoni e comunità tunisina è stata investita dalle nuove ondate di immigrati dell’est europa. La ricerca qualitativa effettuata con storie di vita e interviste in profondità, somministrate alla popolazione autoctona, agli immigrati tunisini di prima e seconda generazione e ai “nuovi” immigrati ha evidenziato non solo inedite rappresentazioni di frammentazione sociale, sentimento di fiducia, marginalizzazione, ma anche la ridefinizione di pratiche culturali …
Enfances et immigration dans les œuvres d’Azouz Begag et de Mehdi Charef
2015
Cet article traite la perspective de l'enfance dans un contexte d'immigration dans trois romans « beur » de deux auteurs considérés comme les fondateurs de cette littérature: Mehdi Charef et Azouz Begag. Au-delà du cadre général de création, il existe des différences qu’il convient, pensons-nous, de nuancer. En effet, la perspective de l’enfance est prise dans l’engrenage de multiples conflits qui illustrent le réseau des relations entre personnages et institutions. Nous abordons cette question à travers Le gone du Châaba, d’Azouz Begag (1986), et À bras-le-cœur (2006) et Le Thé au harem d’Archi Ahmed (1983), de Mehdi Charef, en analysant les différents points de vue des narrateurs/enfants …
EGF-Induced Acetylation of Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoproteins Is Dependent on KRAS Mutational Status in Colorectal Cancer Cells.
2015
KRAS mutational status is considered a negative predictive marker of the response to anti-EGFR therapies in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. However, conflicting data exist regarding the variable response to EGFR-targeted therapy. The effects of oncogenic KRAS on downstream targets were studied in cell lines with different KRAS mutations. Cells harboring a single KRASG13D allele showed the most tumorigenic profile, with constitutive activation of the downstream pathway, rendering them EGF-unresponsive. Conversely, KRASA146T cells showed a full EGF-response in terms of signal transduction pathways, cell proliferation, migration or adhesion. Moreover, the global acetylome of CRC cells was al…
