Miti omerici in Agatarchide di Cnido De Mari Erythraeo 1.7. Testimonianze della filologia alessandrina
No full textIn his long discussion (De Mari Erytbraeo 7) on the value of myth and the possibility of using it in historical search, Agatharchides of Cnidus shows a lot of examples taken from Homeric poems.
These examples allow us to get some interesting information about the Homeric text used by the author (we can read a new evidence of the version accepted by Aristarchos of Ilias 5, 395- 400) and to connect these pages with the activity of the Alexandrinian philologists (Agath- archides'critics against the myth of Titans'help to Zeus against Poseidon agrees with Zeriodot's interpretation of Ilias 1.396-406 ; while critics against the myth of the Troian wooden horse find a parallel in Schol. Od. 8.494 Dindorf).Dans sa longue discussion sur la valeur du mythe (De Mari Erytbraeo 7), Agatharchide de Cnide fait recours à plusieurs mythes homériques. Les exemples choisis nous permettent parfois d'obtenir des informations sur le texte homérique utilisé par l'auteur (en particulier on peut y lire un nouveau témoignage de l'interprétation d'Iliade, 5.395-400 soutenue par Aristarque), et de relier cette partie de son ouvrage à l'activité des philologues d'Alexandrie (l'interprétation de Zénodote pour Iliade 1.396-406 permet de comprendre les observations d'Agatharchide sur l'aide des Titans à Zeus contre Poseidon, tandis que les observations sur le mythe du cheval de Troie trouvent leur parallèle dans Schol. Od. 8.494 Dindorf).Santoni Anna. Miti omerici in Agatarchide di Cnido De Mari Erythraeo 1.7. Testimonianze della filologia alessandrina.

How do Bureaucratic Budget Competition and Collective Bargaining Affect the Share of Temporary Employment?
No full textThis paper will present a two–period model in which two bureau–union units, due to the presence of a tenured labour constraint, negotiate sequentially over employment and wages, under the hypotheses that the bureaus maximise output and the sponsor can commit itself to an overall budget. The paper will show that, when both tenured and temporary workers are essential in production, the extent and strength of collective bargaining power of unionised permanent workers, jointly with bureaucratic strategic incentives in budget competition, will determine a sub–optimal allocation of inputs. As a result, strategic over–hiring of permanent workers may emerge in symmetric equilibrium
Protective excise taxation
No full textIn a small open economy composed of unionised international Cournot-Nash duopolies, a self-interested government has unilateral incentives to set higher specific domestic excise duties under the destination principle when the typical foreign firm is dominant and the import-competing sector is small. Excise taxes may emerge in political equilibrium when domestic firms and unions lobby for protection and the government is unable to use alternative protective policies because of international agreements. In so far as the government is prepared to exchange tax revenues for political contributions, under some conditions the excise tax rate will be higher than the one chosen without lobbying

Union-oligopoly sequential bargaining: Trade and industrial policies
No full textThis paper considers the efficacy and the desirability of home government tariff and subsidy policies when labour market structure and asymmetries in the firms' size matter. In a Cournot-Nash duopolistic sector, a unionized home-firm competes against a non-unionized foreign firm. The home firm-union choose wages and employment in a two-stage Nash bargaining game. The second stage corresponds to the Cournot-Nash game with the foreign firm. Firms may play in strategic substitutes or complements. As the home bargainers recognize that market shares are determined by relative marginal costs, they may use the wage stage strategically. Home government policy choices critically depend upon the bargaining structure and general equilibrium spillovers
Oncogenic and anti-oncogenic effects of transient receptor potential channels
No full textTransient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels affect several inflammatory and neoplastic conditions. About thirty TRPs have been identified to date and divided into seven families: TRPC (Canonical), TRPV (Vanilloid), TRPM (Melastatin), TRPML (Mucolipin), TRPP (Polycystin), and TRPA (Ankyrin transmembrane protein) and TRPN (NomPClike). Among these, the TRPC, TRPM, and TRPV families have been mainly correlated with malignant growth and progression. The aim of this review is to summarize data reported so far on the expression and functional role of TRP channels in different types of cancers. TRP channels have been recently implicated in the triggering of enhanced proliferation, aberrant differentiation, and resistance to apoptotic cell death, leading to uncontrolled tumor growth and progression. Depending on cancer stage, up and down-regulation of TRP mRNAs and protein expression have been reported. These changes have been shown to exhibit cancer promoting (oncogenic) or inhibiting/delaying (tumor suppressor) effects. We are only at the beginning, and more detailed study on the physiopathologic role of TRP channels is required to understand how the deregulation of TRP channel expression and function contributes to tumor development and progression. It is hoped that greater knowledge about TRP biology will enable future development of new chemotherapeutic agents for specific TRP targets, and the use of TRP channels as evaluable markers in diagnostic and/or prognostic analysis
Involvement of the TRPML Mucolipin Channels in Viral Infections and Anti-viral Innate Immune Responses
No full textThe TRPML channels (TRPML1, TRPML2, and TRPML3), belonging to the mucolipin TRP subfamily, primary localize to a population of membrane-bonded vesicles along the endocytosis, and exocytosis pathways. Human viruses enter host cells by plasma membrane penetration or by receptor-mediated endocytosis. TRPML2 enhances the infectivity of a number of enveloped viruses by promoting virus vesicular trafficking and escape from endosomal compartment. TRPML2 expression is stimulated by interferon and by several toll like receptor (TLR) activators, suggesting a possible role in the activation of the innate immune response. Noteworthy, TRPML1 plays a major role in single strand RNA/DNA trafficking into lysosomes and the lack of TRPML1 impairs the TLR-7 and TLR-9 ligand transportation to lysosomes resulting in decreased dendritic cell maturation/activation and migration to the lymph nodes. TRPML channels are also expressed by natural killer (NK) cells, a subset of innate lymphocytes with an essential role during viral infections; recent findings have indicated a role of TRPML1-mediated modulation of secretory lysosomes in NK cells education. Moreover, as also NK cells express TLR recognizing viral pattern, an increased TLR-mediated activation of cytokine production can be envisaged, suggesting a dual role in the NK cell-mediated antiviral responses. Overall, TRPML channels might play a double-edged sword in resistance to viral infections: on one side they can promote virus cellular entry and infectivity; on the other side, by regulating TLR responses in the various immune cells, they contribute to enhance antiviral innate and possibly adaptive immune responses
