Claudia Rankine: An Evening with Claudia Rankine
No full textAn initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest, the NEA Big Read broadens our understanding of our world, our communities, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book. For NEA Big Read: Hampton Roads, that book is Citizen: An American Lyric.
NEA Big Read: Hampton Roads, the President\u27s Lecture Series, and the President\u27s Task Force on Inclusive Excellence invite you to a powerful evening with Claudia Rankine, the book\u27s author, hosted by Tim Seibles, Poet Laureate for the Commonwealth of Virginia, and opening with readings by local youth poets.
Claudia Rankine has written five collections of poetry, including Citizen: An American Lyric, which was selected for the National Endowment for the Arts\u27 Big Read, and two plays. She also has participated in several video collaborations and edited anthologies including The Racial Imaginary: Writers on Race in the Life of the Mind.
Rankine has received fellowships from the MacArthur and Guggenheim foundations. Citizen won several honors, including the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry, the PEN Open Book Award and the NAACP Image Award. Citizen also was the only poetry book to be a New York Times nonfiction bestseller. She is the Frederick Iseman Professor of Poetry at Yale University and chancellor of the Academy of American Poets

Homonoia - Concorda - Sammanasya
No full textAnalysis of the divine figures of Homónoia in the Greek pantheon, Concordia in the Roman pantheon, and Sammanasya in the Vedic pantheon. Claudia Santi is the author of Homónoia; Andrzej Gillmeister is the author of Concordia; Antonio Salvati is the author of Sammanasya. As regards Homónoia, the origin of this personified abstraction seems to be traced back to the political debate of Athens in the last 5th century. Maybe it was created by Antiphon as opposed to stásis, both in the meaning of ‘psychic conflict’ and ‘internal political dissensions, civil war’

Heavy metal stress induces adaptative responses in the liverwort Conocephalum conicum L. (Dum.): an integrated biologic and metabolomic study
No full textHeavy metal stress induces adaptative responses in liverwort Conocephalum conicum L. (Dum.): an integrated biologic and metabolomic study
No full textPlants undergo metabolic perturbations under various abiotic stress conditions: due to their sessile nature, the metabolic network of plants requires continuous reconfigurations in response to environmental stimuli to maintain homeostasis and combat stress.1 In this study, the adaptative responses of the liverwort Conocephalum conicum to the heavy metal stress was analysed through a multidisciplinary approach.
The liverwort was in vitro growth reproducing the concentrations of heavy metals assessed in Sarno river (South Italy), representative of anthropogenically-impacted rivers in Europe.
The biological responses considered, ROS production and localization, antioxidant enzymes, ultrastructural damage responded consistently with the expected environmental stress.
In this study, an untargeted metabolomic method together with an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization /tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC/ESI-MS/MS) and molecular networking approach were used for the study of the differential production of secondary metabolites.2 This approach permitted a fast tentative annotation of several known and unknown metabolites. The metal stress tolerance toolkit in C. Conicum involved the production of flavonoid components as well as a remodelling of the lipid metabolism. The multidisciplinary roadmap proposed in the present study pave the way to future investigations aimed to further mining the secondary metabolome of plants, including those of medicinal and alimentary interest, when exposed to abiotic stress
The Role of Five-Membered Aromatic Rings Containing N and O in Modulating Bile Acid Receptors: An Overview
No full textOver the past decades extensive scientific research in the fields of chemistry and pharmaceuticalchemistry has led to the synthesis and study of numerous chemical compounds with diverse therapeuticapplications. Many of these compounds feature heterocyclic aromatic structures, including four-, five-, and six-membered rings. Among them, five-membered heteroaromatic rings have garnered particular attention inmedicinal chemistry due to their favorable properties, such as enhanced metabolic stability, solubility, andbioavailability, key attributes for the development of effective drugs. The distinctive physicochemical propertiesand biological activities of five-membered heterocycles have established them as vital structural motifs innumerous clinically effective drugs. These heterocyclic compounds play a crucial role in the design of therapeuticagents, including those targeting bile acid receptors. Bile acid receptor modulators, activated by endogenous bileacids, offer promising potential in treating a variety of metabolic and enterohepatic disorders, such asdyslipidemia, diabetes, cholestasis, and inflammatory bowel disease.This review aims to provide an up-to-date overview of aromatic five-membered nitrogen- and oxygen-containingheterocycles, focusing on their role as bile acid receptor modulators, particularly FXR and/or GPBAR1. Thesereceptors are clinically validated targets for the treatment of metabolic disorders and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)
