An interpretation of Finnish religious nationalism: the fourtopoiof theological depoliticisation
2009
. The topic of this article is the relation between ‘politicality’ and theology in the discourse of Finnish religious nationalism during the Winter War of 1939–40 and the Continuation War of 1941–44. I shall draw on the ideas of Kari Palonen and Anthony D. Smith in attempting to thematise theological depoliticisation as an intrinsic element of religious nationalism. Also, I will elaborate its political significance in the Finnish context, where the role of traditional religion in the general development of nationalist thought has been particularly important. The specific focus is on how prominent representatives of the Finnish clergy related to war and nationalist claims in general. My inte…
Contribución a las medidas de gas radón: metodología, aplicación y estimación de dosis
2020
El gas radón es un carcinógeno reconocido por la Organización Mundial de la Salud desde final de los años 80. Se estima que es la segunda causa de cáncer de pulmón por detrás del tabaco. Solo en Estados Unidos, provoca de quince a veinte mil muertes anuales. Es, por tanto, un problema de salud pública. Sin embargo, a día de hoy, sigue siendo un gran desconocido para la población. En este trabajo se describen y comparan diferentes metodologías para la medida de la concentración de gas radón y descendientes de vida corta en aire y en agua. Los métodos estudiados para la medida de radón en aire han sido utilizados para hallar las concentraciones a las que están expuestos los trabajadores en do…
DNA damage causes TP53-dependent coupling of self-renewal and senescence pathways in embryonal carcinoma cells.
2013
Recent studies have highlighted an apparently paradoxical link between self-renewal and senescence triggered by DNA damage in certain cell types. In addition, the finding that TP53 can suppress senescence has caused a re-evaluation of its functional role in regulating these outcomes. To investigate these phenomena and their relationship to pluripotency and senescence, we examined the response of the TP53-competent embryonal carcinoma (EC) cell line PA-1 to etoposide-induced DNA damage. Nuclear POU5F1/OCT4A and P21CIP1 were upregulated in the same cells following etoposide-induced G 2M arrest. However, while accumulating in the karyosol, the amount of OCT4A was reduced in the chromatin fract…

Reading Debates Politically
2017
This chapter focuses on the concept of debate, taking the concept of ‘political literacy’ as point of departure. The concept of political literacy means that it is crucial to be willing and competent to judge actions, situations, practices and institutions in terms of political struggle. What kinds of aims can we identify in various utterances, arguments or topoi, and how may we assess their consequences? Based on this idea of political literacy, our leading thesis in this chapter is that parliamentary debate, as it was formed and is practised in the British parliament at Westminster, forms an approximation to the ideal type of debate. The ideal type allows the classification of the structu…
IL SINDACO DEL RIONE SANITÀ – MIT WŁOSKIEGO GUAPPO OCZAMI LUIGIEGO PIRANDELLA
2015
The article proposes an analysis of one of the main plays written by Eduardo De Filippo, Il sindaco del rione Sanita, considered here in a wide context: the literary and artistic representation of Neapolitan criminality. Understood by a part of the critics and later by sociological studies focused on the camorra as the “personification of the myth” of the guappo, often in opposition to the parodistic and disenchanted version of the character offered by Raffaele Viviani, Eduardo’s Sindaco actually maintains with this topos an extensively ambiguous connection. In this essay, using the proper methods of textual analysis in a dialogue with some contributions taken from historiography and sociol…
"Mi sprofondavo nella lettura": la gioia dei primi libri come topos letterario
2012
Il saggio analizza il topos del piacere della lettura nella narrativa otto-novecentesca. The essay shows how the pleasure of reading has become in the modern age a literary topos.
Acrylamide catalytically inhibits topoisomerase II in V79 cells.
2010
The vinyl monomer acrylamide is characterized by the presence of an alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl group that makes it reactive towards thiol, hydroxyl or amino groups and towards the nucleophilic centers in DNA. The ability of acrylamide to chemically modify protein thiols has prompted us to consider topoisomerase II as one possible target of acrylamide, since agents targeting protein sulfhydryl groups act as either catalytic inhibitors or poisons of topoisomerase II. Nuclear extracts from V79 Chinese hamster cells incubated with acrylamide reduced topoisomerase II activity as inferred by an inability to convert kinetoplast DNA to the decatenated form. Nuclear extracts incubated with acry…
ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis and Induction of G0-G1 Phase Arrest with Apoptosis of 3,5-Dimethyl-6-phenyl-8-(trifluoromethyl)-5,6-dihydropyrazolo[3,…
2009
The multistep synthesis of 3,5-dimethyl-6-phenyl-8-(trifluoromethyl)-5,6-dihydropyrazolo[3,4-f][1,2,3,5]tetrazepin-4(3H)-one 15 has been carried out. The compound showed antiproliferative and apoptotic effects against K562, K562-R (imatinib mesilate resistant), HL60 and multidrug resistant (MDR) HL60 cell lines. Compound 15 showed a pro-apoptotic activity against HL60 and K562 resistant cell lines markedly higher than etoposide and busulfan, respectively. Flow cytometry studies carried out on K562 cells allowed to establish that 15 induces G0-G1 phase arrest followed by apoptosis.
The Politics of Agenda in the Union Debates
2016
The chapter consists of a discussion of the politicisation of the agenda in the Oxford and Cambridge Unions’ public debates roughly between the reform acts in 1832 and 1867. As well as relating the setting of political agenda to the classical rhetorical tradition of inventio, Haapala contrasts the Union practices to the parliamentary setting of debating on both sides of an issue. The chapter also proposes that the Union public debates showed the use of certain rhetorical commonplaces, or topoi, which are named as principle, expediency, character and vote of confidence. Finally, Haapala offers a typology of political agenda setting in the Unions.
