Being Recognizable in Order to Overcome the Crisis: The Ambivalence of Islamis Actor's Struggle for Visibility in France and Switzerland

Since the 1990s, and especially since the early 2000s, passionate controversies (Göle 2014) have emerged around the new visibility of Islam in the public sphere across Europe. These controversies, which crystallized in the headscarf debate, seem even more disturbing given that women who wear it are often young, urban and educated: that is to say, "modern" (Göle 1997, 2011). Indeed, these young women wearing the hijab seem to disrupt the narrative of Western modernity, including the decline in religious practice (Hervieu-Léger 2006) or the narration of the process of secularization in Europe. It is in the context of these controversies that Islam is built imaginatively as a "public problem" that has to be "solved" (Behloul 2012). Thus, this social construction of the Muslim other has nurtured an assessment of the failure of multiculturalism in some European countries and a process of convergence around a single model of civic integration in Europe (Behloul 2012, Joppke 2004, 2010).

HSE Crisis Pregnancy Programme annual report 2010.

January 2010 saw the former Crisis Pregnancy Agencyâ?Ts integration into the Health Service Executive to become the HSE Crisis Pregnancy Programme. For most of 2010, the Programme was located in Children and Family Social Services Care Group in the Integrated Services Directorate and reported to Assistant National Director for Children and Family Social Services. The Programme commenced the process of forging links and relationships within the wider HSE and with services which support and add value to the work of the Programme. The Programme also made efforts to identify areas where it could share its expertise in the areas of crisis pregnancy and sexual health. In the latter part of 2010, the Programme was moved to Public Health with the aim of improving the alignment of the Programme to achieve better integration and create more opportunity to synchronise approaches with other related parts of the health service and to work more effectively at long term integration and planning 2012 - 2016.This resource was contributed by The National Documentation Centre on Drug Use.

Lifeline Consultation Report - A summary of the feedback to the Public Health Agency's public consultation process on the Lifeline Crisis Response Service

This report is a summary of the feedback from the public consultation process on the current Lifeline contract and future options.

Cutting edge: IL-7 regulates the peripheral pool of adult ROR gamma+ lymphoid tissue inducer cells.

During fetal life, CD4(+)CD3(-) lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi) cells are required for lymph node and Peyer's patch development in mice. In adult animals, CD4(+)CD3(-) cells are found in low numbers in lymphoid organs. Whether adult CD4(+)CD3(-) cells are LTi cells and are generated and maintained through cytokine signals has not been directly addressed. In this study we show that adult CD4(+)CD3(-) cells adoptively transferred into neonatal CXCR5(-/-) mice induced the formation of intestinal lymphoid tissues, demonstrating for the first time their bona fide LTi function. Increasing IL-7 availability in wild-type mice either by IL-7 transgene expression or treatment with IL-7/anti-IL-7 complexes increased adult LTi cell numbers through de novo generation from bone marrow cells and increased the survival and proliferation of LTi cells. Our observations demonstrate that adult CD4(+)lineage(-) cells are LTi cells and that the availability of IL-7 determines the size of the adult LTi cell pool.

Lymphoid environment limits superantigen and antigen-induced T cell proliferation at high precursor frequency.

After superantigen challenge a significant proportion of superantigen-reactive T cells remain undivided. We provide evidence that the lymphoid environment limits T cell proliferation in the secondary lymphoid organs when the frequency of superantigen reactive T cells is unusually high. We monitored T cell proliferation and the percentage of undivided cells when the frequency of superantigen-reactive T cells was low (1%), intermediate (15%) or high (30-100%) by transferring fluorescently labeled cells into different recipients. When the frequency was low, practically all the reactive T cells entered cell cycle and proliferated maximally. At intermediate frequencies a large proportion of reactive T cells did not enter cell cycle and the whole population divided less. A further increase in reactive T cells did not alter the percentage of undivided cells but induced a further decrease in the number of cell divisions. Interestingly, the observations made with superantigens were confirmed with peptide antigen and TCR-transgenic mice. Moreover, in vivo and in vitro data suggest that dendritic cells are the most likely candidates in limiting T cell proliferation in the lymphoid environment. In conclusion, we show that the availability of APC in the lymphoid environment can quantitatively limit T cell priming.
