A study of the Szeklers and their folktales.
This book introduces the most important and best studied extracellular and pericellular molecules of the tumor microenvironment. It gives a comprehensive overview of their role in tumor development and cancer progression. Twelve chapters deal with the biochemical and biophysical background of extracellular matrix (ECM) changes in the tumor stroma compared to the physiological state. The reader learns about the major ECM components that are deregulated during cancer development and how they are associated with cancer progression associated with survival, inflammation process, among others. These are followed by recent data about the cooperative activity of extracellular matrix in tumor metabo...
First published in 1996. There has been no more important relationship between folk artist and folklorist than that between Zsuzsanna Palkó and Linda Dégh. Dégh’s painstaking collection of Mrs. Palkó’s tales attracted the admiration of the Hungarian-speaking world. In 1954 Mrs. Palkó was named Master of Folklore by the Hungarian government and summoned to Budapest to receive ceremonial recognition. The unlettered 74-year-old woman from Kakasd had become “Aunt Zsuzsi” to Linda Dégh—and was about to become one of the world’s best known storytellers, through Dégh’s work.
Over the last decade, our understanding of metabolism in the context of cancer has evolved greatly. It is now evident that altered cellular metabolism is an integral effector of tumorigenesis that is intricately intertwined with cell signaling as well as genetic and epigenetic regulation of diverse tumor programs. Recognizing the dysregulation of cellular metabolism as an important aspect of tumor function has offered new potential direction to seek clinical benefit by providing targets for the development of novel therapeutics. To-date, several small molecule inhibitors that target tumor or immune cell metabolism are being explored in active clinical trials as either preventive, stand-alone, or adjuvant therapies for various malignancies. Thus, identifying critical metabolic vulnerabilities in pre-neoplastic cells, cancer cells, and immune cells has direct and timely relevance for developing additional treatment and preventative strategies against cancer.
International exchange in European cultural life in the 19th and 20th centuries From the early nineteenth century till the middle of the twentieth century, cultures in Europe were primarily national. They were organized and conceived of as attributes of the nation states. Nonetheless, these national cultures crossed borders with an unprecedented intensity even before globalization transformed the very concept of culture. During that long period, European cultures have imported and exported products, techniques, values, and ideas, relying on invisible but efficient international networks. The central agents of these networks are considered mediators: translators, publishers, critics, artists,...
This volume explores intergenerational trauma among refugee communities displaced throughout the world. Considering patterns and findings across disciplines, cultural contexts, and methodologies, the volume addresses the way trauma is passed on generationally among populations characterized by a large exodus from various regions, and communities in which intergenerational trauma can be observed among second-generation youth. Drawing on studies of displaced communities worldwide, this comprehensive and interdisciplinary analysis examines the effects of transgenerational trauma. It explores definitions and concepts of intergenerational trauma, comparing and contrasting perspectives across generations, and the mechanisms at work in its transmission. The volume is well suited for scholars across social sciences with interests in memory studies, political violence, and refugee and diaspora studies.
