Peer governance practices: an alternative approach to the education of young people in vulnerable contexts
This paper presents the experience of 6 months of work (January to June 2022) with educators and young people aged 16-18 years from a socio-educational organisation in Raval, a vulnerable neighbourhood of Barcelona. It ...
Toward a physical map of Drosophila buzzatii: use of randomly amplified polymorphic DNA polymorphisms and sequence-tagged site landmarks
We present a physical map based on RAPD polymorphic fragments and sequence-tagged sites (STSs) for the repleta group species Drosophila buzzatii. One hundred forty-four RAPD markers have been used as probes for in situ ...
The Pyrenees-Mediterranean Euroregion: functional networks, actor perceptions and expectations
The Euroregions are likely the most prominent expression of cross-border cooperation (CBC) in the European Union (EU). The increase in the number of Euroregions is, however, a relatively recent phenomenon. At the end of ...
Isolated populations as treasure troves in genetic epidemiology: the case of the Basques
The Basques are a culturally isolated population, living across the western border between France and Spain and speaking a non-Indo-European language. They show outlier allele frequencies in the ABO, RH, and HLA loci. To ...
The annotation of the asparagine N-linked glycosylation pathway in the Reactome database
Asparagine N-linked glycosylation is one of the most important forms of protein post-translational modification in eukaryotes and is one of the first metabolic pathways described at a biochemical level. Here, we report a ...
Molecular evolution and network-level analysis of the N-glycosylation metabolic pathway across primates
N-glycosylation is one of the most important forms of protein modification, serving key biological functions in multicellular organisms. N-glycans at the cell surface mediate the interaction between cells and the surrounding ...
Network-level and population genetics analysis of the insulin/TOR signal transduction pathway across human populations
Genes and proteins rarely act in isolation, but they rather operate as components of complex networks of interacting molecules. Therefore, for understanding their evolution, it may be helpful to take into account the ...
Legal disagreements and new theories of reference
According to Hartian positivists, law is a conventional practice that requires a convergence that includes not only the regularity of behavior but also of certain beliefs and attitudes. It is easy to conclude that in this ...
Confluències temàtiques i formals en tres obres recents de la literatura catalana, asturiana i castellana sobre el món rural
L'article ofereix una anàlisi comparativa de diverses representacions contemporànies de l'imaginari rural ibèric que impliquen la reivindicació d'una autoconsciència perifèrica. El centre de l'estudi ...
HDL-free cholesterol influx into macrophages and transfer to LDL correlate with HDL-free cholesterol content
High-density lipoprotein (HDL)-free cholesterol (FC) transfers to other lipoproteins and cells, the former by a spontaneous mechanism and the latter by both spontaneous and receptor-mediated mechanisms. Macrophages are an ...
Les traduccions de Josep Carner de la literatura (infantil) de Sui Sin Far
L'objectiu d'aquest article és analitzar les traduccions que va fer l'escriptor català Josep Carner de tres contes de Sui Sin Far (pseudònim de l'escriptora nord-americana d'origen xinès Edith Maude ...
MicroRNA genetic variation: from population analysis to functional implications of three allele variants associated with cancer
Nucleotide variants in microRNA regions have been associated with disease; nevertheless, few studies still have addressed the allele-dependent effect of these changes. We studied microRNA genetic variation in human populations ...
Conventionalism and the causal theory of reference
An intuitive view of language is frequently assumed: words are related by competent speakers to descriptions that determine reference. Such a view is generally understood as convention-based in the sense that it emphasises ...
Legal disagreements: a pluralist reply to Dworkin's challenge
In this paper I analyse the problem of legal disagreements, initially raised by Ronald Dworkin against Hartian positivism. According to Dworkin, disagreements are pervasive, since law is an argumentative practice in which ...
Tolerance, flexibility and the application of kind terms
We explore two ways of distinguishing the semantic operation of kind terms. First, we focus on a distinction between terms with a flexible versus terms with an inflexible semantics. Flexibility depends on whether some ...
