Interkulturelle Erziehung : eine Erziehung zur universalistischen Moral : die Berücksichtigung der moralischen Dimension von Integrations- und Migrationsfragen und deren Wirkung auf die Einstellungen gegenüber Migrantinnen und Migranten

Konstantinidou, Triantafyllia ; Oser, Fritz (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2015.

This dissertation reflects the concept of immigrants’ integration from the angle of morality and justice. It discusses therefore Aristotle’s and Rawls’s theories of justice in a multicultural context and develops a fair model which understands integration as a two-way process of mutual accommodation (Mesotes) and a value system that neither discriminates immigrants nor disadvantages the...

Inhibition of cell migration and invasion mediated by the TAT-RasGAP317–326 peptide requires the DLC1 tumor

Barras, D ; Lorusso, Girieca ; Rüegg, Curzio ; Widmann, Christian

In: Oncogene, 2014, p. -

TAT-RasGAP317–326, a peptide corresponding to the 317–326 sequence of p120 RasGAP coupled with a cell-permeable TAT-derived peptide, sensitizes the death response of various tumor cells to several anticancer treatments. We now report that this peptide is also able to increase cell adherence, prevent cell migration and inhibit matrix invasion. This is accompanied by a marked...

Fragment N2, a caspase-3-generated RasGAP fragment, inhibits breast cancer metastatic progression

Barras, David ; Lorusso, Girieca ; Lhermitte, Benoît ; Viertl, David ; Rüegg, Curzio ; Widmann, Christian

In: International Journal of Cancer, 2014, p. -

The p120 RasGAP protein negatively regulates Ras via its GAP domain. RasGAP carries several other domains that modulate several signaling molecules such as Rho. RasGAP is also a caspase-3 substrate. One of the caspase-3-generated RasGAP fragments, corresponding to amino acids 158–455 and called fragment N2, was previously reported to specifically sensitize cancer cells to death induced by...

Migration, International Trade and Capital Formation: Cause or Effect ?

Felbermayr, Gabriel ; Grossmann, Volker ; Kohler, Wilhelm

(Working Papers SES ; 436)

In this paper, we provide an overview of the relationship between international migration and international trade as well as capital movements. After taking a brief historical perspective, we first investigate migration flows between two countries in a static, neoclassical context. We allow for a disaggregated view of migration that distinguishes between different types of labor and emphasizes...

Sharing high growth across generations : pensions and demographic transition in China

Song, Zheng ; Storesletten, Kjetil ; Wang, Yikai ; Zilibotti, Fabrizio

Intergenerational inequality and old-age poverty are salient isuues in contemporary China. China's aging population threatens the fiscal sustainability of its pension system, a key vehicle for intergenerational redistribution. We analyze the positive and normative effects of alternative pension reforms, using a dynamic general equilibrium model that incorporates population dynamics and...
