Mnemonic Topographies in Green Border Film: Migration, Memory, Trauma and Cultural Identity

Agnieszka Holland’s Green Border (2023) theorizes contemporary migration as a cultural formation inscribed within regimes of memory, identity, and border aesthetics, articulating displacement as a constitutive condition of Europe’s collecti...

Empatia e giustizia nella ricezione artistica dei casi e del processo intorno al terrorismo nero in Germania

The article analyses the various levels on which justice figures as a motif in Fatih Akin’s film In the fade (2017). According to my reading, ‘justice’ informs on the level of aesthetics of reception as well as at the level of production: f...

Calmodulin-binding transcription activator (CAMTA) genes family: Genome-wide survey and phylogenetic analysis in flax (Linum usitatissimum).

Flax (Linum usitatissimum) is a member of family linaceae with annual growth habit. It is included among those crops which were domesticated very early and has been used in development related studies as a model plant. In plants, Calmodulin...

Ornamental motifs and visual concerns: Exploring aesthetic pleasure and conservation intention in architectural heritage renovation.

Legionella shows a diverse secondary metabolism dependent on a broad spectrum Sfp-type phosphopantetheinyl transferase

Several members of the genus Legionella cause Legionnaires’ disease, a potentially debilitating form of pneumonia. Studies frequently focus on the abundant number of virulence factors present in this genus. However, what is often overlooked...

Fluoridobromate(V)–hydrogen fluoride cocrystallizates

Cocrystals of BrF5 and HF2− salts have been obtained for the first time in the form of the two compounds [NMe4][(BrF5)6(HF2)] and Cs2[(BrF5)6(HF2)(H2F3)]. These compounds are formed when hydrogen fluoride is present in reactions of BrF5 and...

About the Double-Axe (Labrys) / Butterfly Symbols in an Offering Pit in Tisna

In this study, double-axe/butterfly depictions in an offering pit discovered during the 2018 archaeological survey at Kocakale Tepe (Tisna) are introduced. The doubleaxe/ butterfly motifs with a total of 10 scraping lines in different sizes...

X-ray crystal structure, UV–Vis and NMR spectroscopic, and molecular docking studies of pyribencarb isomers

Abstract The crystal structures of the pyribencarb E and Z stereoisomers were determined using single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The isomers were confirmed a single data respectively by crystal analysis, LC-UVD mass spectrometry, and NM...

1,1-Dimethylbiguanidium(2+) dinitrate

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C4H13N52+·2NO3−, the main intermolecular interactions are the N—H...O hydrogen bonds between the cationic amino groups and the O atoms of the nitrate ions. All ami...

Structural basis for COMPASS recognition of an H2B-ubiquitinated nucleosome

Methylation of histone H3K4 is a hallmark of actively transcribed genes that depends on mono-ubiquitination of histone H2B (H2B-Ub). H3K4 methylation in yeast is catalyzed by Set1, the methyltransferase subunit of COMPASS. We report here th...

Dysregulation of Angiogenesis and Inflammatory Genes in Endometrial Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Their Contribution to Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a common, chronic, inflammatory disorder in women, characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus cavity. The disease affects ~10% of women during their reproductive age. There is some debates on the...

Mouse hippocampal CA1 VIP interneurons detect novelty in the environment and support recognition memory

Summary: In the CA1 hippocampus, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-expressing interneurons (VIP-INs) play a prominent role in disinhibitory circuit motifs. However, the specific behavioral conditions that lead to circuit disinhibition remai...

Nueva estela decorada procedente de El Viso (Córdoba)

RESUMEN: El artículo nos ofrece el estudio de una estela inédita hallada en El Viso (Córdoba). La estela se sitúa cronológicamente en la fase orientalizante antigua probablemente en el siglo Vil a. J.C., y geográficamente en la región del s...

”Går jag till sängs med tolv Guds änglar ...”: den judisk-kristna konsten att somna och avsomna i bild och bön

In Swedish oral tradition, as well as in one example of Dalecarlian folk painting from the late 18th century, an invocation of twelve (occasionally fourteen) angels standing around the bed is evident from at least the 17th century. This inv...

The Recessed Arched Mihrab Design: An Identity Marker in the Formation of Art in the Zand Era

Each King in their respective reigns attempted to shape visual culture according to their intellectual and ideological foundations. In some periods, these changes were explicit and evident, while in others, they were implicit and gradual. T...

Enhanced Degradation of Juvenile Hormone Promotes Reproductive Diapause in the Predatory Ladybeetle Coccinella Septempunctata

Improved knowledge on the regulation of reproductive diapause in Coccinella septempunctata, an important predator of aphids, is crucial for improving shelf-life and mass production of the ladybeetles. In many insects, the absence of juvenil...

Chitosan nanoparticles as next-generation carriers for veterinary DNA vaccines: Mechanisms, immune responses, and translational prospects

Background and Aim: Chitosan-based DNA nanoparticles have emerged as a promising next-generation platform for veterinary vaccines, addressing several limitations of conventional attenuated, inactivated, and recombinant formulations. Chitosa...

miRNA-mediated loss of m6A increases nascent translation in glioblastoma.

Within the glioblastoma cellular niche, glioma stem cells (GSCs) can give rise to differentiated glioma cells (DGCs) and, when necessary, DGCs can reciprocally give rise to GSCs to maintain the cellular equilibrium necessary for optimal tum...

Systematic evolution of bZIP transcription factors in Malvales and functional exploration of AsbZIP14 and AsbZIP41 in Aquilaria sinensis

IntroductionAgarwood, the dark-brown resin produced by Aquilaria trees, has been widely used as incense, spice, perfume or traditional medicine and 2-(2-phenethyl) chromones (PECs) are the key markers responsible for agarwood formation. But...

Emerging mutations in envelope protein of SARS-CoV-2 and their effect on thermodynamic properties

Structural proteins of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are potential drug targets due to their role in the virus life cycle. The envelope (E) protein is one of the structural proteins; plays a critical role in v...
