Vulnerability to extreme heat and climate change: is ethnicity a factor? [PDF]
Global Health Action, 2013 Background: With a warming climate, it is important to identify sub-populations at risk of harm during extreme heat. Several international studies have reported that individuals from ethnic minorities are at increased risk of heat-related illness, for ...

The Formation of Migrant Networks [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013 AbstractIn this paper, we provide the first direct evidence on the internal structure of the migrant social network. By using a purposely designed survey on Sri Lankan immigrants living in Milan, we show that the pattern of within‐group link formation is heterogeneous across immigrants, and differentiated according to the network function (i.e ...

Boko Haram and the Geopolitics of Forced Migration in Nigeria
Journal of International Studies, 2018 Migration is currently perceived as an epitome of globalization and a measuring gauge of global geopolitical mobility. In recent years, Nigeria has been faced with a series of migratory crises such as insurgency and conflict, forcing large numbers of ...

ERBIN limits epithelial cell plasticity via suppression of TGF‐β signaling
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In breast and lung cancer patients, low ERBIN expression correlates with poor clinical outcomes. Here, we show that ERBIN inhibits TGF‐β‐induced epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in NMuMG breast and A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. ERBIN suppresses TGF‐β/SMAD signaling and reduces TGF‐β‐induced ERK phosphorylation.

Crime and Victimhood in a Globalized World Order [PDF]
Rivista di Criminologia, Vittimologia e Sicurezza, 2018 Globalization has imposed a re-definition of crime – from slavery to corruption, to terrorism and other. Is it possible to elaborate a transversal and conventionally shared approach in the globalized society that allows all relevant actors to interpret ...

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2018 Migration is a dominant political issue across much of the world. The number of migrants has increased globally by 69% since 1990, and the total is now around 258 million.1 Around a quarter are refugees, fleeing from wars, persecution, famines and other disasters.2 The rest have mainly left their homes in search of better employment prospects.

Exploring lipid diversity and minimalism to define membrane requirements for synthetic cells
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Designing the lipid membrane of synthetic cells is a complex task, in which its various roles (among them solute transport, membrane protein support, and self‐replication) should all be integrated. In this review, we report the latest top‐down and bottom‐up advances and discuss compatibility and complexity issues of current engineering approaches ...

Structural dynamics of the plant hormone receptor ETR1 in a native‐like membrane environment
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The present study unveils the structural and signaling dynamics of ETR1, a key plant ethylene receptor. Using an optimized nanodisc system and solution NMR, we captured full‐length ETR1 in a native‐like membrane environment. Our findings reveal dynamic domain uncoupling and Cu(I)‐induced rigidification, providing the first evidence of metal‐triggered ...

How do the Romanians Experience the Process of Transnationalism? Canada and the UK Compared
Sociologie Românească, 2011 The rapid improvement of technologies and communication has made it easier for migrants to maintain close links with their country of origin. Given the lack of empirical investigation on transnationalism, this comparative study argues that this process ...
