Peripecias dramáticas de la filosofía rusa

Boris Vladímirovich Emelianov es doctor en ciencias filosóficas, director del Instituto de la Cultura Rusa, profesor de la Facultad de Filosofía de la Universidad de los Montes Urales y reconocido historiador de la filosofía rusa. Por más de treinta y cinco años se ha dedicado a la investigación de diferentes aspectos del pensamiento nacional de su país. Es autor de casi treinta libros de investigación y de materiales didácticos, y de varios centenares de artículos y ensayos. Recientemente publicó el primer tomo de su trilogía cuyo propósito es crear un panorama amplio del pensamiento filosófico ruso durante tres siglos. Los volúmenes segundo y tercero, que corresponden al desarrollo de la filosofía rusa en los siglos XVII y XIX, tiene la intención de publicarlos durante los próximos años

Adult Stem Cell Membrane Markers: Their Importance and Critical Role in Their Proliferation and Differentiation Potentials

The stem cells are part of the cells that belong to the stromal tissue. These cells remain in a quiescent state until they are activated by different factors, usually those generated by an alteration in the parenchymal tissue. These cells have characteristic membrane markers such as CD73, CD90, and CD105. Those are a receptor, which in response to their ligand induces strong changes in different metabolic pathways that lead to these cells, both to generate molecules with different activities and to leave their stationary phase to reproduce and even differentiate. This review describes the metabolic pathways dependent on these membrane markers and how they influence on parenchymal tissue and other stromal cells

MicroRNAs in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

miRNAs are sequences of 20–22 nucleotides that participate in the development, growth, and cell differentiation by the regulation of the mRNAs.Their possible participation in the development of degenerative diseases has been extensively investigated. Results show quantitative changes in miRNA transcription, to the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative diseases. In this chapter, the dysregulation of microRNAs reported in the samples taken from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) animal model or ALS patients is analyzed. Moreover,their probable participation in the pathogenesis of the disease is also analyzed

Healthy Exosomes and their Effects on Diabetic Cardiomyocytes

Extracellular Vesicles, and more specifically, exosomes, are essential for effective cell-to-cell communication in a wide variety of tissues. In the last couple of decades, these nanovesicles have been proven to be active participants and regulators in many disease processes; therefore, their therapeutic effects have been widely studied and proven in various cardiovascular diseases both, in vitro and in vivo. Thus, this study aims at assessing the effects of running healthy mice exosomes on cardiomyocyte and cardiac tissue samples obtained from diabetic mice. Here, we successfully extract exosomes from mice plasma and detect their presence through the use of anti-CD9 and anti-CD81 antibodies. Further work includes concentrating exosome presence and utilizing a wider variety of exosome-specific antibodies, as well as exploring techniques for more effective exosome extraction from plasma

Second Language Recall in Methods of Learning

This dissertation examined the relationship between the acquisition and recall of English language vocabulary. This study explored 2 different learning recall strategies to determine which approach was the quickest or more efficient way to remember vocabulary words. Previous researchers had focused on learning a second language phonetically and had not explored different instructional strategies to study the most useful or quickest way to learn a second language for adults. However, there remains an important gap in the current research regarding how to present different methods of instruction to acquire a new second language more rapidly. The purpose of this study was to determine which method was easier and quicker to assist the second language learner to recall and acquire vocabulary. The sample came from 3 different adult second language classrooms. The participants completed a pretest to assess their English word knowledge before the treatment. The participants had a timed 15-min or 30-min period to learn the cards for recall using flash cards with words only or with words and pictures. Once the period was over, the participants completed a posttest measure of language acquisition. There were no statistically significant differences in posttest scores based on method of learning, length of time for learning, or the interaction between the two. The results of the study added to the research on determining whether different instructional methods assisted an adult second language learner to acquire a second language more swiftly

La nueva economía institucional y la economía de los recursos naturales: comunes, instituciones, gobernanza y cambio institucional

In recent decades, the New Institutional Economics has brought about the “return of institutions†to the economic mainstream, and institutional theory and analysis have been developed from Ronald Coase’s notion of transaction costs and Douglass North’s view on institutions. The Nobel Prize award in Economics to Oliver Williamson and Elinor Ostrom in 2009 has pointed out the relevance of the new institutional approach. Natural Resource Economics has included the institutional determinants of the management of natural resources into its research agenda. In this sense, the advances of the New Institutional Economics allows the development of institutional analysis in the field of the Economics of Natural Resources, such as Elinor Ostrom’s work has shown. This paper presents an integral and updated perspective of the foundations of the New Institutional Economics that constitute a set of theoretical inputs for the analysis of institutions and governance in the management of natural resources.Agricultural and Food Policy, Environmental Economics and Policy, B52, Q00, L22,

Dragging narcocultura in Herbert Siguenza’s "Bad Hombres/Good Wives"

Theatre on the borderlands is a genre of performance traditionally entrenched in rigid definitions of gender, but the genre also contains a refutation of the universalizing mantle of whiteness and a firm retention of Chicano cultural specificity. This tension between resistance and compulsion extends to the genre’s rigid gender roles. Borderlands theatre both holds to and responds to gender roles. Herbert Siguenza’s work in "Bad Hombres/Good Wives", a theatrical comedy performed October 3-27, 2019 at San Diego Repertory Theatre, is a prime example of this gendered tension within Borderlands theatre. The play’s engagement of drag as a reinforcement of gender roles stands in contrast to its queering of narcocultura. The problematic use of drag in this play expands on notions of the carnivalesque and the grotesque, but as a dramatic piece "Bad Hombres/Good Wives" fails to create either a queer space or a space transgressive of borders

No moral wiggles in e5 and e1,000 dictator games under ambiguity

This paper explores excuse-driven behavior in giving. In our powered laboratory experiment, participants play Dictator Games sharing 5e or 1,000e under certainty or ambiguity with a charity. In contrast to previous papers using MPLs {that necessarily introduce additional layers of uncertainty{our subjects participate in two DGs. We �nd no evidence that people use moral wiggles to hide their sel�shness. They share equally out of 5e under certainty and ambiguity and as much out of 1,000e under ambiguity as they do under certainty in the previous literature. These �findings raise the question whether previous results might be an artifact
