This thesis is focused on the nationalization of party systems in Western Europe and combines four different approaches. Despite the literature claiming that political decentralization reduces party system nationalization, ...
The purpose of this dissertation is to systematically investigate the theoretical perspective that political power derives from socioeconomic power—a fundamental tenet of both sociological theories of assimilation and ...
Background: There is evidence suggesting that body weight is associated with lung function, but results are contradictory and suffer from important limitations. We aimed to assess the association of body weight and composition ...
To ensure faithful segregation of the genetic material, cells build the mitotic spindle, a machinery made of dynamic microtubules (MTs) and MT associated proteins (MAPs). Chromosome bi-orientation is achieved through the ...
The present research is aimed at analyzing how human’s brain jointly computes cognitive and social interactions in presence of implicit social stimuli and/or in presence of socially neutral stimuli. First we analyzed the ...
Widespread transcription in mammals revealed unexpected discovery of non-coding elements like long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and repetitive elements. First, lncRNAs were previously identified in limited number of tissues ...
The existence of transportation costs gives labor markets a local dimension. In particular, the well-documented existence of agglomeration economies creates a positive correlation between a city's size and the productivity ...
Esta tesis estudia la especificidad de los significados léxicos especializados, a partir del análisis del funcionamiento de nombres relacionales; ofrece una explicación integrada de la semántica especializada y no especializada ...
El objetivo de esta Tesis doctoral es identificar las unidades de conocimiento especializado del derecho de extranjería con el fin de representar la relación de la equivalencia en un diccionario bilingüe español-rumano ...
Esta tesis tiene como objeto de estudio las Unidades Frasológicas Especializadas Eventiv as (UFE eventivas), definidas como unidades sintagmáticas formadas por uno o más términos, que se componen de un núcleo terminológico ...
Esta tesis doctoral tiene como finalidad principal analizar la situación de la enseñanza de la lengua china en España, concretamente en Barcelona, y en toda su complejidad, para proponer la introducción de léxico ...
Metastasis is the major cause of death from Breast Cancer (BCa). During its progression, divergent opinions have arisen regarding the hormonal status of the BCa subtypes. The mammary gland is composed of different cell ...
Translation control is a vital aspect of gene expression for both viruses and their cellular hosts. We have previously shown that the cellular mRNA decay activators Dhh1 and Lsm1-7 promote translation of positive-strand ...
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the main acceptors of neurotransmitters, and thus play an important role in communication between neurons. Because of this they are an attractive drug target for multiple neurodegenerative ...
Caenorhabditis elegans provides a powerful experimental system for understanding fundamental questions in biomedical research, including the consequences of pre-mRNA splicing alterations. Here, we have applied CRISPR and ...
The calcineurin-NFATc signaling pathway is involved in many aspects of the development and function of the immune, neural, skeletal, cardiovascular and muscular system of vertebrates. Regulators of Calcineurin (RCAN) ...
To ensure faithful segregation of the genetic material, during mitosis the cell assembles the mitotic spindle, a macromolecular machine made of dynamic microtubules and associated proteins. Spindle microtubules are assembled ...
Numerous studies have shown that the protein kinase IKKα is associated with cancer progression and metastasis in different models. However, the mechanisms underlying IKKα tumorigenic functions are poorly understood. We ...
The presence of an extra copy of Human Chromosome 21 (HSA21) in Down syndrome (DS) is one of the most complex genetic perturbations compatible with life and is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability. Here, ...
Environmental stress is a major aspect of life and a limiting factor for the survival and distribution of species. Understanding the organismal stress response and the developed coping mechanisms is indispensable in order ...
