En 2013, le gouvernement marocain a adopté la stratégie nationale d’immigration et d’asile (snia), inaugurant une nouvelle approche dans la gestion des migrations, laquelle consiste à déléguer davantage la coordination de cette politique publique aux autorités municipales et régionales. Cette réforme s’inscrit dans une tendance plus large à considérer les acteurs locaux comme des représentants du

Taking vaccine regret and hesitancy seriously : The role of truth, conspiracy theories, gender relations and trust in the HPV immunisation programmes in Ireland

This paper considers the dual approach to conspiracy theories in anthropological studies. While some anthropologists suggest treating them seriously because they might reveal some truths, others argue that conspiracy theories require serious attention, because they are alarming and present a threat to social cohesion and democracy. Analysing conflicts over HPV immunisation programmes in Ireland, t

Financialization interrupted : Unwilling subjects of housing reform in Morocco

Researchers have increasingly sought to account for the ways in which financial systems permeate everyday life, interpolating individuals as entrepreneurial investor subjects. This article examines why some people reject such financial opportunities as unwilling subjects. This issue is examined in the context of the Moroccan housing market and the associated financial products and services deploye

Community Assembly and Stability in the Root Microbiota During Early Plant Development

Little is known about how community composition in the plant microbiome is affected by events in the life of a plant. For example, when the plant is exposed to soil, microbial communities may be an important factor in root community assembly. We conducted two experiments asking whether the composition of the root microbiota in mature plants could be determined by either the timing of root exposure

The tumor promoter cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 regulates PD-L1 expression in colon cancer cells via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling axis

Immunotherapy targeting programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) or PD-1 in solid tumors has been shown to be clinically beneficial. However, in colorectal cancer (CRC), only a subset of patients benefit from PD-1/PD-L1 treatment. Previously, we showed that high cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CysLT1R) levels are associated with poor prognosis in CRC patients. Recently, we have revealed the role of the

Accelerating a car from rest : friction, power and forces

The directions of frictional forces for bodies in motion are conceptually challenging. Students may be able to provide a correct solution using only calculus without drawing free-body diagrams. This can make their misconceptions go unnoticed and put them at risk to become further reinforced. Here, we discuss first-year bachelor students’ responses to multiple-choice questions and an open-ended que

‘We do what we can with what we have’ - The daily life of people with disabilities and the long and complicated road to improve it in Pando Bolivia

In the search for grasping how the everyday life experience for people with a disability is shaped in relation to the local social and political complexities in Cobija/Pando four themes are crucial to understand. Firstly, illustrating how the rhetorical definition of disability removes the wrongfulness or responsibility from the shoulders of the individual to an exclusive social environment. Even

Tuning halide perovskite energy levels

The ability to control the energy levels in semiconductors is compelling for optoelectronic applications. In this study, we managed to tune the work function (WF) of halide perovskite semiconductors using self-assembled monolayers of small molecules to induce stable dipoles at the surface. The direction and intensity of the surface dipoles rely on specific molecule-to-surface interactions. Electro

Virtuosos of Mimesis and Mimicry : a Case Study of Movements Propagating Conspiracy Theories in Ireland and Poland

In recent years, conspiracy theories have been increasingly defined as a new social enemy, a threat to democracy. But scholars of conspiracy theories also point out that we have very little research that examines a direct link between conspiracy theories and political practice. We still know very little about the ways in which conspiratorial beliefs influence different forms of civic engagement an

Spatial variability of infiltration in a semi-arid environment

Fifty-two double-ring infiltrometer tests, performed in a small, partly urbanized catchment in northern Tunisia are analyzed. Spatial variability is characterized by use of cross-correlation functions. Spatial patterns of infiltration properties are shown to be governed by geomorphology and occurring vegetation. Different geomorphological zones and zones with equal density of vegetation tend to be

Entrepreneurial assemblages from off the map : (trans) national designs for Tangier

Poststructuralist perspectives need to be reconciled with political economic readings of urban globalization. One approach complements the other: the enactment of distantiated circuits and the territorialization of flows occur within existing geographies of uneven development while contingently reproducing or reshaping such spatial conditions of possibility. We argue that broadening the realm of c

Role of CsMnCl3Nanocrystal Structure on Its Luminescence Properties

Cesium manganese chloride (CsMnCl3) nanocrystals (NCs) have recently been recognized as potential lead-free perovskite candidates for red emission. To ascertain how the luminescence properties depend on the NC structures formed under different synthesis conditions, we synthesized CsMnCl3NCs in two polymorphic structures, namely, cubic (c-CsMnCl3) and rhombohedral (r-CsMnCl3), by tuning the reactio

Insertion of the CXXC domain of KMT2A into YAP1 : An unusual mechanism behind the formation of a chimeric oncogenic protein

Most neoplasia-associated gene fusions are formed through the fusion of the 5′-part of one gene with the 3′-part of another. We here describe a unique mechanism, by which a part of the KMT2A gene through an insertion replaces part of the YAP1 gene. The resulting YAP1::KMT2A::YAP1 (YKY) fusion was verified by RT-PCR in three cases of sarcoma morphologically resembling sclerosing epithelioid fibrosa

Do kinematic models reduce the effects of soft tissue artefacts in skin marker-based motion analysis? An in vivo study of knee kinematics

We investigated the effects of including kinematic constraints in the analysis of knee kinematics from skin markers and compared the result to simultaneously recorded trajectories of bone pin markers during gait of six healthy subjects. The constraint equations that were considered for the knee were spherical and revolute joints, which have been frequently used in musculoskeletal modelling. In the

A linear soft tissue artefact model for human movement analysis : Proof of concept using in vivo data

We investigated the accuracy of a linear soft tissue artefact (STA) model in human movement analysis. Simultaneously recorded bone-mounted pin and skin marker data for the thigh and shank during walking, cutting and hopping were used to measure and model the motion of the skin marker clusters within anatomical reference frames (ARFs). This linear model allows skin marker movements relative to the

Born to Be (Sub)Prime: An Exploratory Analysis

We study how inheriting parents' credit histories affects the initial credit scores, access to credit, and life cycle borrowing of young individuals entering the credit market. We establish that inherited histories significantly positively affect initial scores, which in turn are very persistent. Inherited histories only affect outcomes through initial credit scores, which then have significant pe
