Engulfed by the family: women in the Colombian Development State between 1966 and 1990 by Helena Alviar Garcia

“…Accordingly, development plans and other policy documents are taken seriously in order to show through a close reading of them that they limit the possibilities of reforms aimed at redistributing resources towards women because of their understanding of the family as a unit that would follow the luck of its male head and as the essential site of traditional, cultural and biological reproduction. Thus, women, understood as the responsible for human reproduction, and not as workers or citizens, were subordinated to the reproduction of patriarchal families, structurally affecting women’s access to resources.…”

Computational Modelling Approaches on Epigenetic Factors in Neurodegenerative and Autoimmune Diseases and Their Mechanistic Analysis by Afroza Khanam Irin, Alpha Tom Kodamullil, Michaela Gündel, Martin Hofmann-Apitius

“…In this work, we demonstrate how disease-related epigenetic knowledge can be systematically captured and integrated with heterogeneous information into a functional context using Biological Expression Language (BEL). This novel methodology, based on BEL, enables us to integrate epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation or acetylation of histones into a specific disease network. …”

State of the Art of Fuzzy Methods for Gene Regulatory Networks Inference by Tuqyah Abdullah Al Qazlan, Aboubekeur Hamdi-Cherif, Chafia Kara-Mohamed

“…Fuzzy systems are based on handling imprecise knowledge, such as biological information. They provide viable computational tools for inferring GRNs from gene expression data, thus contributing to the discovery of gene interactions responsible for specific diseases and/or ad hoc correcting therapies. …”
