No full textThe Barcelona Conference on Epigenetics and Cancer (BCEC) was held in Barcelona, Spain, on October 1 and 2 , 2014. The meeting was co-organized by the Cancer Epigenetics and Biology Program (PEBC-IDIBELL) and B·Debate, an initiative of Biocat, with the support of 'la Caixa' Foundation. The scientific committee was comprised of leading scientists in the field of epigenetics: Dr. Manel Esteller, director of PEBC-IDIBELL, Dr. Alejandro Vaquero and Dr. Esteban Ballestar, from PEBC-IDIBELL, Juan Ausió from the University of Victoria (Canada), and Marcus Buschbeck, from the Institute of Predictive and Personalized Medicine of Cancer (IMPPC), as BCEC series coordinator. This meeting was the second edition of the BCEC series, which was launched by 5 leading Barcelonan institutes to bring together leading investigators in the fields of epigenetics and chromatin research. The topics discussed during the meeting included the current challenges, opportunities, and perspectives surrounding the study of histone modifications (focusing in acetylation), chromatin structure and gene expression, and the involvement of histone acetylation in physiology and diseases, such as cancer or neurological diseases

Miradas fragmentarias : la écfrasis en dos cuentos de Laia Jufresa
No full textEn este artículo se analizan dos cuentos del libro El esquinista (2014) de la autora mexicana Laia Jufresa, a partir de sus marcos textuales ecfrásticos: “Cristina” y “La noche que desapareció Holanda”. El primer cuento se centra en El mundo de Cristina del pintor norteamericano Andrew Wyeth. El segundo contiene varias referencias a dos obras de Johannes Vermeer: Mujer con balanza y Mujer con laúd. En ambos textos Jufresa crea un espacio interartístico donde la literatura y la pintura se encuentran y se cuestionan mutuamente. Son cuentos experimentales en los que la narradora subvierte la mirada, tanto la mirada con la que observa una pintura, como la mirada interior, que observa las reflexiones más íntimas de los personajes. La manera como Jufresa aborda los temas universales pone al lector en un espacio incómodo, pero al mismo tiempo la autora lo incita a participar en el juego de lo visible y lo invisible.This article analyses two stories from the book El esquinista (2014) by Mexican author Laia Jufresa, based on their ecphrastic textual frameworks: “Cristina” and “La noche que desapareció Holanda”. The first story focuses on the work Christina’s World by the American painter Andrew Wyeth. The second contains several references to the works by Johannes Vermeer: Woman Holding a Balance and Young Woman with a Lute. In both texts Jufresa creates an inter-artistic space where literature and painting meet and interfere. In these experimental stories the narrator changes the perspective, both the perspective with which she observes a painting and the inner perspective, which observes the most intimate reflections of the characters. Jufresa’s approach to universal themes puts the reader in an uncomfortable space, but at the same time she encourages him or her to participate in the game of the visible and the invisible

Does Warfare Matter?: Severity, Duration, and Outcomes of Civil Wars
No full textDoes it matter whether a civil war is fought as a conventional, irregular, or symmetric non-conventional conflict? Put differently, do technologies of rebellion impact on a wars severity, duration, or outcome? We find that irregular conflicts last significantly longer than all other types of conflict, while conventional ones tend to be more severe in terms of battlefield lethality. Irregular conflicts tend to be won by incumbents, while symmetric non-conventional and conventional ones are more likely to end in draws. Substantively, these findings help us make sense of the evolution of civil wars, which are likely to become shorter, more intensely fought, and more challenging for existing governmentsbut also more likely to end with some kind of compromise between governments and armed opposition. Theoretically, our findings support factoring in the technology of rebellion (a variable capturing characteristics of conflicts that are visible at the micro level) when studying the severity, duration, and outcome of civil wars (macro-level patterns of conflicts); they also contribute a better understanding of the historical contribution of irregular war to both state building and social change.[electronic resource] :
