Deciphering the role of Yap4 phosphorylation under stress conditions

The existence of molecular mechanisms of response, repair and adaptation, many of which are greatly conserved across nature, gives to the cell with the plasticity it requires to adjust to its ever-changing environment, a homeostatic event that is termed the stress response. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae there is a particular family of transcription factors, the Yap family, which has been shown to have a relevant role in yeast adaptation to several stress conditions. In particular, Yap1 is the major regulator of the transcriptional response to oxidative stress and Yap2 and Yap8 play important roles upon cadmium and arsenic exposure, respectively.(...)

Scientist women perceptions of their work conditions and career development

This article reports preliminary findings about Portuguese scientist women’s perceptions of gender issues in their institutions. Empirical data have been collected by means of an electronic open questionnaire sent to the AMONET (Portuguese Association of Women in Science) members. Basically, the study aims to examine the degree of satisfaction with their profession, the difficulties they meet in everyday professional life, and whether they feel or have felt gender discrimination in their institutions. Findings show that all respondents feel happy or very happy with their profession. However, discrimination is mentioned by a significant percentage, even if such discrimination assumes, quite often, an elusive way, suggesting that higher institutions still discriminate against women. Findings, articulated with literature, also lead to discussion about power and leadership, both in the hands of male academics, in the majority of the institutions, as well as the clarification of different perceptions of ambition both by women and man.

A filosofia moral em acção: construção e transmissão do conhecimento filosófico

Quando nos propusemos participar nos Encontros Interdisciplinares, tínhamos entendido o seu teor como correspondendo a uma vontade de reflexão sobre os processos epistemológicos que sustentam e legitimam a importância e o alcance da investigação na Universidade. Para nós, tratar-se- -ia de discudr as modalidades de construção e de transmissão do conhecimento, nas várias áreas científicas, do que, eventualmente, resultaria tanto o reconhecimento de proximidades e divergências, quanto uma crítica da sujeição da racionalidade inquiridora aos limites impostos pela racionalidade polídca. Assim, supusemos oportuno debater a confusão disseminada entre uma certa concepção da acção polídca, incluindo a política científica, e a acção cognitiva. Para o efeito, demos conta de um mal-estar causado pelo pressuposto de que o modelo comunicativo interactivo, assente na analogia entre socialização e direito processual, por via da confiança nos procedimentos, modalidade "fraca" da categoria marxista de "praxis", mas, supostamente, melhor ajustada à descrição das formas de regulação e normalização da convivência democrática, pode ser transposto, com resultados garantidos, mediante variações de escala e de instrumentos crídcos, para o domínio da investigação. A origem desse sendmento reside no facto de ficar por formalizar a pergunta sobre a escala das escalas, não com o propósito de impor uma meta-escala, mas de compreender o sentido dos procedimentos praticados.
