Immune priming: the secret weapon of the insect world Gerard Sheehan, Gemma Farrell & Kevin Kavanagh
No full textInsects are a highly successful group of animals that inhabit almost every habitat and environment on Earth. Part of their success is due to a rapid and highly effective immune response that
identifies, inactivates, and eliminates pathogens. Insects possess an immune system that shows
many similarities to the innate immune system of vertebrates, but they do not possess an
equivalent system to the antibody-mediated adaptive immune response of vertebrates.
However, some insect do display a process known as immune priming in which prior exposure
to a sublethal dose of a pathogen, or pathogen-derived material, leads to an elevation in the
immune response rendering the insect resistant to a subsequent lethal infection a short time later.
This process is mediated by an increase in the density of circulating hemocytes and increased
production of antimicrobial peptides. Immune priming is an important survival strategy for certain
insects while other insects that do not show this response may have colony-level behaviors that
may serve to limit the success of pathogens. Insects are now widely used as in vivo models for
studying microbial pathogens of humans and for assessing the in vivo efficacy of antimicrobial
agents. Knowledge of the process of immune priming in insects is essential in these applications
as it may operate and augment the perceived in vivo antimicrobial activity of novel compounds
Kant and Gerard on imagination
No full textAlexander Gerard, a schottish philosopher, is nowadays almost
forgotten, but at the time of Kant’s philosophical development he was a very
popular author and his works were translated to german. Kant mentioned Gerard
sometimes in his lectures on anthropology, particularly about genius and
imagination. A near analysis and comparing of their conception of genius and
imagination shows a significant influence of Gerard on Kant. Purpose of this
paper is to analyse this influence in the particular case of imagination and active
imagination.O filósofo escocês Alexander Gerard foi quase que inteiramente
esquecido pela história da filosofia. Mas na época em que Kant estava
desenvolvendo sua filosofia crítica, particularmente nos anos 1770, Gerard era
um autor bastante popular, tendo seus principais escritos traduzidos inclusive
para o alemão. Kant o menciona algumas vezes nas lições sobre antropologia,
permitindo assim documentar sua leitura. Este artigo procura mostrar a
influência de Gerard sobre Kant na concepção de uma imaginação ativa, peça
central da filosofia transcendental kantiana

Reconstructing embedded liberalism: John Gerard Ruggie and constructivist approaches to the study of the international trade regime
No full textIn 1982, John Gerard Ruggie published a study of the postwar international trade and monetary regimes in which he introduced the concept of ‘embedded liberalism’. A large and growing number of international trade scholars are finding Ruggie’s concept of embedded liberalism an appealing one, and it now occupies a significant place on our conceptual horizon. In this article, the author returns to Ruggie’s original article to excavate lessons which are peculiarly relevant for current trade law scholarship. He argues that Ruggie’s account of embedded liberalism usefully serves to destabilize common assumptions about the objectives and normative underpinnings of the trade regime and thereby to expand our conceptions of what a liberal trade regime might plausibly look like. On the other hand, he explains why he does not share the enthusiasm of those who see in embedded liberalism an attractive normative vision to guide WTO reform. In addition, and most importantly, the author draws attention to the constructivist theoretical framework of Ruggie’s piece. He suggests that Ruggie’s article provides a useful introduction to the central elements of constructivist thinking about international institutions and shows how attention to constructivist insights has the potential to significantly enrich and expand our understanding of the trade regime and of trade law
