Perspectives. We must look beyond certain triumphalist discourses of a globalized, Anglophone uniformity in order to understand better the complexity and diversity – linguistic, cultural, political – of the world in which we live. Xxxxxxxx et Xxxxxx, 2003, p. 14 Le titre ‘perspectives’ renvoie au double sens de ce terme. ‘Perspective’ signifie d’abord angle d’approche, point du vue : j’expose en effet ici l’ensemble des outils théoriques à l’aide desquels j’aborde les textes de Xxxxxxxxx dans cette étude. Mais ‘perspective’ peut également être compris dans le sens d’ouverture, d’horizon, de voie à explorer. Car la rencontre d’un appareil théorique quel qu’il soit avec un texte particulier est l’occasion de nouveaux questionnements, non seulement en direction du texte mais aussi des théories et des grilles de lecture utilisées. Ainsi, par exemple, si une ‘lecture postcoloniale’ de Monénembo permet un nouvel éclairage de son écriture, dans un mouvement de retour, une telle lecture peut mettre à jour les lacunes ou les points aveugles de cette approche théorique, et contribuer ainsi à la faire avancer. Par souci de clarté, j’ai choisi de présenter les perspectives théoriques dans des sous parties distinctes. J’y explicite chaque fois les possibilités de ces perspectives, mais aussi leurs limites et les problèmes qu’elles posent pour l’appréhension des textes africains francophones. Dans la pratique des études littéraires, les différentes approches théoriques et discursives exposées ici ne forment pas des ensembles séparés les uns des autres par des frontières qu’on pourrait tracer comme je semble le faire. Certes, les points de divergence existent, qu’ils soient historiques, idéologiques, géographiques ou linguistiques. Mais les points d’intersection sont tout aussi nombreux. Mes analyses des textes de Xxxxxxxxx montrent comment différents concepts développés, à diverses époques et en divers lieux, par différents discours et théories – postcolonialisme, francophonie littéraire, l’africanisme ou écritures migrantes – se rejoignent, se répondent et/ou se complètent pour la discussion d’un texte particulier.
Perspectives. ■ No t e 1 The contents of many settlements are collected and published by the Workplace Directorate Branch of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada. The Workplace and Employee Survey, however, contains the most comprehensive and uniform list of settlement provi- sions. Several Statistics Canada surveys such as the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics, and the Labour Force Survey also contain information on several well-known provisions. Occupational health and safety Policies to reduce risk of accidents, injuries and disease in the workplace. This also includes stress. Employment equity Provisions to ensure that no one is denied employment or promotion for reasons unrelated to their ability (for exam- ple, sex, race or disability). Pay equity Policies ensuring that pay is related to the skills required to do the job regardless of who does it, and also that the pay for jobs with similar skills will be the same. Job security/layoffs Various provisions giving workers job protection in the event of automation or new production methods or products. Contracting out The hiring of a person or company from outside the busi- ness, under contract, to perform a specific task. Contract- ing out may affect career advancement and may even result in layoff. Education and training Policies allowing employees to receive education and train- ing to meet the requirements of their position and, in some cases, to advance their career. Cost-of-living adjustments A cost-of-living allowance clause provides pay increases at specified periods during the life of a contract in line with increases in the consumer price index. ■ Referen c xx Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx X. 2002. “Unionization and fringe benefits.” Perspectives on Labour and Income (Statistics Canada, catalogue 75-001-XIE).

Perspectives. This thesis presents an overview of various plaque stabilizing strategies. It was divided into two parts, the first focussing on matrix and cell homeostasis, while the second focussed mainly on inflammation. We have demonstrated that viral protease inhibitors Serp-1 and Serp-2 offer the potential of stabilizing atherosclerotic lesions in different disease and animal models. 155 Also, we have firmly established that the immunosuppressive drug FK506 displays a marked plaque stabilizing capacity. These studies may have therapeutic implications, although of course the extrapolation from mice to the human situation is difficult and side effects of both strategies still need to be mapped. In addition, we describe in Chapters 4 and 6 plaque components that contribute to plaque instability and plaque thrombogenicity. The atherosclerotic plaque was found to contain an increasing amount of the highly thrombogenic lipid LPA during lesion progression, which can at least in part be accounted for by increased intraplaque production of LPA. We have identified new protein targets for correction of the LPA homeostasis that could lead to novel strategies for intervention in atherothrombosis. Moreover, the role of activated adventitial mast cells was delineated, revealing that mast cell activation indeed promotes plaque destabilization by increasing macrophage apoptosis, vascular leakage and intraplaque hemorrhage. This study also underlined the relevance of the adventitia for lesion development and CVD. Further study of adventitial inflammation and the cellular composition of the adventitia will give more insight into the role of the adventitia in atherosclerotic plaque development. Also, the identification of the potential trigger of mast cell activation in the adventitia can lead to plaque stabilization. In this thesis, mast cell stabilization already leads to reduced plaque instability, which could be an effective new therapeutic entry in the prevention of acute coronary syndromes or its sequelae. Finally, a new research model is described, which allows faster and more efficient research with respect to leukocyte genes in atherosclerotic plaque development. Using this new technique, more potential candidates for future therapeutic interventions with respect to plaque stabilization and reduction of plaque thrombogenicity can be discovered. References

Perspectives. The impact of glial differentiation program to NB regression is known (Xxxxxxx et al., 2009). We plan to validate this in our project by using NB cells with inducible miR-873 expression as xenografts in nude mice. The second focus is recapitulation of miR-873-induced phenotype using siRNAs to its targets, BMI1, CHK1, and possibly, to HNRNPA0/K. The third focus is to dissect regulation of miR-873 expression, particularly, the role of PHOX2b and its transcriptional target TLX2 whose binding site is located in the vicinity of miR-873). Figure 8: miR-873 is differentially expressed in primary NB. Enforced expression of miR-873 reduces viability of p53 wild type and p53 disabled NB. Conclusions and recommendations This deliverable was aimed at the analysis of the miRNAs regulating ET Cell viability. Three pediatric model systems were selected, namely medulloblastoma, neuroblastoma and Xxxxxx sarcoma. Each model system was presented with a model cell line with inducible or silenced oncogene. High-throughput screening of the miRNAome using the gain-of-function (with xxXXX mimics library) and the loss-of-function (with xxXXX inhibitors library) approaches were applied to the model systems and reduction in proliferation was used as read- out to analyse ET cell viability. Screens resulted in some putative synthetically lethal miRNAs for each oncogene and more generally in the cell viability reducing miRNAs irrespective of the oncogene expression. Validation of these findings is now underway, with some interesting findings already present and reported in this deliverable. The validation process for miRNAs is a complex one as it usually includes validation of the cell viability effect and more thorough search for the xxXXX targets. Each xxXXX can target either directly or indirectly several hundreds of targets. Therefore the validation process will take time beyond of this deliverable reporting period. This deliverable 3.1 has been successful in producing lists of miRNAs regulating ET Cell viability as well as a set of putative synthetically lethal miRNAs for each oncogene. Next deliverable 3.2 miRNAs regulated by the key oncogenes in ET cells will certainly continue to validate these putative synthetically lethal miRNAs during next years with the next deliverable due in month 48.

Perspectives. The aim of this session is to close the conference by having a round table discussion, in particular on the integration of E&H research into policies by the different stakeholders, and looking at the future of Environment and Health research. These discussions will enable a deeper understanding of the E&H concerns and how research may contribute to resolving them. These discussions will bring dynamism to Environment and Health research by analysing the impact of research and its effectiveness for policy. A detailed programme will be posted begining of 2012 on the ERA-ENVHEALTH website: xxx.xxx-xxxxxxxxx.xx C O N F E R E N C E S A N D M E E T I N G S R E P O R T F R O M T H E 2 1 S T I S E S C O N F E R E N C E — A D V A N C I N G E X P O S U R E S C I E N C E F O R E N V I R O N M E N T A L H E A L T H The 2011 meeting of the International Society of Exposure Science gathered scientists from all over the globe to share current research activities and explore emerging trends in exposure science and environmental health. The theme this year — Advancing Exposure Science for Environmental Health — reflects the importance and expanding role of exposure science for a healthy environment. This can be described not only in terms of human health, but also in terms of the impact on the environment. This was the premier international exposure science event bringing together scientists, engineers, and policy-makers from a variety of disciplines to highlight significant scientific achievements and awareness of the role of exposure science in environmental health. The conference took place from Sunday, October 23 through Thursday, October 27, Baltimore.

Perspectives. A future ambition for the WdKA Hybrid Publishing lab is to interweave artistic research within RASL with experimental and hybrid publications. In doing so, it should act not as a design bureau but as a research partner. Models for this do not only exist in experimental scholarship like XxXxxxx’x and Xxxxx’, but also in contemporary art that transgresses the boundaries between visual art, visual culture research, essayism and critical theory. This type of art has gained prominence in the last couple of years: examples include the video works of Xxxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxxx; Xxxxxx Xxxxx’x work that exists in between conceptual art, academic philosophy and social critique; and the design research of the Metahaven design collective (consisting of WdKA alumni Xxxxxx xxx xxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxx). The question remains whether such work will conversely inspire new forms and non- traditional media in academic scholarship, continuing where XxXxxxx, Xxxxxxx and others left off. New partnerships between art and scholarship could also be forged for empirical research with its increasing reliance on complex (often also interactive and real-time) visualizations for which traditional paper and textbook formats are no longer adequate, 4 Xxxx Xxxxx’x index card-based information systems created in Belgium between 1895 to 1934, were forerunners of modern search engines. Xxxx’x essay “As We May Think” and key passages of Xxxxxx’x book-manifesto Computer Lib/Dream Machines are included in (Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2003). These texts greatly influenced the original architecture of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s. and where visuals are no longer just illustrations but amount to—as (Xxxxxxx, 2014b) puts it—“forms of knowledge production”. New collaborative, audiovisual and Open Access forms of research publishing radically question the current status quo of academic book and journal publishing. Clearly, the renewal of publishing has to come from art and critical scholarship, as it can no longer be expected from a conservative publishing industry that, for the most part, is preoccupied with guarding its territory. Conversely, publishing as an ethos of sharing challenges the arts: If they can no longer be legitimized through the Western cultural canon, if contemporary art becomes too corrupted by art market speculation to still be credible as a critical practice, if visual culture from outside the art and design field becomes more influential for culture at large, what ...
