The Credible Voice in Pedro Lemebel’s Oeuvre : Identity, Gender and Censorship

The oeuvre of the recently deceased Chilean writer Pedro Lemebel (1952–2014) can be described as an expression for systematically persecuted, repressed, censored minoritarian voices, both during the Chile of the dictatorship, that is during the 1970s and 1980s, as well as afterwards, in democratic Chile, that is from the 1990s onwards. These voices build discourses where gender, class or ethnic idThe oeuvre of the recently deceased Chilean writer Pedro Lemebel (1952–2014) can be described as an expression for systematically persecuted, repressed, censored minoritarian voices, both during the Chile of the dictatorship, that is during the 1970s and 1980s, as well as afterwards, in democratic Chile, that is from the 1990s onwards.

Anti-cancer stem cell activity of a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Ambrosia arborescens and of a synthetic derivative

New regimens are constantly being pursued in cancer treatment, especially in the context of treatment-resistant cancer stem cells (CSCs) that are assumed to be involved in cancer recurrence. Here, we investigated the anti-cancer activity of sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) isolated from Ambrosia arborescens and of synthetic derivatives in breast cancer cell lines, with a specific focus on activity aga

The Body in (Early) Music

This essay reflects on my experimental projects in historical performance practice that explore possible ways of embodied reading of a musical score. Through the assimilation of gestural patterns derived from dancing, acting and speech-delivery into the body of a violinist, I attempt to develop an embodied approach to historically informed performance, where the focus shifts from the sound produci

Early Network Events in the Later Success of Chinese Entrepreneurs

We trace the social networks around Chinese entrepreneurs back to their firm's founding to learn about the role early events play in the later success of a business. We use name generator questions paired with career history questions to identify ‘event contacts’ missed by the usual focus on current business. We draw four conclusions from interviews with a large, stratified random sample of entrep

Cross-national perspectives on policies and new university approaches to societal collaboration

Universities are currently facing mounting policy expectations to assume a broader societal responsibility in creating sustainable growth and wellbeing. In response to these demands, universities are developing new approaches to proactively take on their role with societal collaboration, including project-based education, student innovation programmes, open testbed and demonstration facilities andUniversities are currently facing mounting policy expectations to assume a broader societal responsi-bility in creating sustainable growth and wellbeing.

Heparin-Binding Protein (HBP) : A Causative Marker and Potential Target for Heparin Treatment of Human Sepsis-Induced Acute Kidney Injury

RATIONALE: Sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common condition with high morbidity and mortality. Neutrophil-derived heparin-binding protein (HBP) induces vascular leakage and is a promising biomarker of sepsis-induced organ dysfunction. It remains unknown if HBP is prognostic of AKI in septic shock and if HBP could play a role in the pathophysiology of sepsis-induced AKI.OBJECTIVES: To

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli strain CFT073 disrupts NLRP3 inflammasome activation

Successful bacterial pathogens produce an array of virulence factors that allow subversion of the immune system and persistence within the host. For example, uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains, such as CFT073, express Toll/IL-1 receptor-containing (TIR-containing) protein C (TcpC), which impairs TLR signaling, thereby suppressing innate immunity in the urinary tract and enhancing persistence i

Synthesis and characterization of epitope-imprinted polymers for purification of human hemoglobin.

One promising method to prepare protein-selective polymers is the epitope-imprinting approach, where surface-accessible peptides from a target protein are used as templates to create surface-exposed binding sites on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). However, selection of a suitable peptide target is not always straightforward, and synthesis of peptide on a large scale can be costly. In this w

A resource- and impact-based micro-level conceptualization of collaborative academic work

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop new conceptual tools for analyzing how contemporary collaborative academic work is organized on micro-level, and its social and economic impact, in broad terms. Thus it makes a contribution towards a better view on how contemporary academics organize their professional activities in light of profound changes to the framework conditions of academic wor
