Post-Genomics and Skin Inflammation by Daniela Braconi, Giulia Bernardini, Annalisa Santucci

“…Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are two chronic skin inflammatory diseases that have so far received a greater attention within the scientific community through different post-genomic approaches; on the contrary, acne, which is undoubtedly one of the most common skin disorders involving inflammatory processes, seems to be still quite neglected under the post-genomic point of view. In this paper, we will review how post-genomic technologies have provided new fundamental tools for the analysis of these three conditions and we will cast light on their potential in addressing future research challenges.…”

Affective polarization in a word: Open-ended and self-coded evaluations of partisan affect. by Spencer Kiesel, Sharif Amlani

“…Yet, scholars base these insights on measures-like thermometers, candidate evaluations, and social-distance measures-that discount the sentiment attached to individuals' negative attitudes. We introduce a unique measure of affect capturing the motivation underpinning partisans' attitudes. …”

Las canciones del 15-M y su memoria. El sonido de un compromiso político by José Rafael Ramos Barranco

“…It became an active starting point for a different way of understanding democracy that derived from the creation of citizen platforms to the emergence of political parties. In this paper we intend to analyze the role of songs in that movement and, above all, how the ideas of 15-M appear in contemporary Spanish song and through which artists. …”
