The synthesis and pharmacology of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor mimetics by McDonald, Jane Anne Margaret

“…These studies revealed that the class of GABA agonist, in which the amino groups are incorporated into six-membered rings exhibit an unexpected variety of activities with respect to their ability to inhibit 3H-GABA binding; their affinity for GABA uptake sites and their interaction with the coupled GABA/benzodiazepine sites.…”

Tetraazamacrocyclic ligands and their copper complexes by Judd, P. M.

“…For the 15-membered macrocycle, 18,19,20,21-tetrahydro-17-H-tribenzo(f,j,n)(1,5,9,12)tetraazacyclopentadecine, derivatives bearing different substituents in one of the benzene rings were prepared. For the diimine ligands of this type both cationic and neutral copper(II) complexes were isolated and characterised; (the latter type result from loss of anilino protons on complex formation.) …”

Studies of quinone monooximes derived from dihydroxyphenylalanines by Khozam, Mahmoud Mohamed

“…The tendency of the dihydroxynaphthalenes investigated in this work to undergo only mono-nitrosation might reflect the deactivation of the naphthalene rings by the introduction of the CO and NO groups. …”

Erythrocytes derived microvesicles : their characterisation and potential role as delivery vectors by Cordeiro Freezor, Roberta

“…In this study, the influence of erythrocyte derived MV (eMV) on the growth of THP-1 and Jurkat cell lines was observed. HeLa cells and those infected with Human Rhinovirus type 16 derived MV (HRV16iHMV) were used as parallel samples for all experiments. …”

Immigration, politics and violence in urban France: between fiction and facts by Recchia, Francesca

“…Semi-fictional accounts of immigrants’ life in the banlieues are a privileged source of information about the social distress that nurtured the explosion of urban violence. Reading between the lines of these representations helps grasping what happens underneath the surface of an overexposed situation of inequality that periodically morphs into violence. …”

The immigrants by Kollectiv, Galia, Kollectiv, Pil

“…In the first four films, through a series of small actions undertaken by costumed performers in different locations across the UK, an installation of filmed vignettes posits the futility of the border as a means of demarcating boundaries of identity, power and resources in an age of global capital flows, migrant labour forces, and environmental destruction that does not stop at abstract lines on a map. Masks drawn from sources as diverse as Romanian folklore and riot police spit masks, combined with props suggesting checkpoints and rafts, invert the hierarchies of border guards and asylum seekers, refugees in boats and Brexit flotillas. …”

Space and place as constraints and resources in women’s strategies to escape domestic violence by Bowstead, Janet

“…This paper will particularly explore three examples of such thinking about women’s spatial strategies: Foucault’s concepts of the spatiality of surveillance are used in understanding space as a constraint and appreciating what women are overcoming when they leave abusive relationships; Deleuze and Guattari’s concepts of rhizomic networks and lines of flight are used in understanding space as a resource on the journeys themselves; and Augé’s concepts of nonplaces are used in understanding space as place, and recognising what needs to be counteracted to create new homes and a sense of belonging.…”
