The meeting point this time is the artistic city of Leipzig, Germany, known for its long tradition in trade fairs and its compelling selection of museums, musical events and other cultural offerings. Our loyal participants are already familiar with the high level of medical science that awaits them at the International Congresses on Autoimmunity and our newcomers will be impressed by the diversity of excellent sessions offered on a variety of topics, ranging from basic research to novel diagnostic and treatment methods of autoimmune diseases. This year’s Congress introduces a variety of hot subjects for the first time: from spicy food and cannabis to obesity, smoking, the microbiome, novel peptides and revolutionary therapies. The International Congress on Autoimmunity is the biggest multidisciplinary congress that discusses all aspects of the related diseases under one roof, offering courses and lectures by some of the world's most distinguished experts. At the same time, the Congress prides itself on providing a stage for young upcoming talents to present their research to a first-rate audience. Join us and enjoy the inspiring atmosphere of medical science among old and new colleagues; share, learn and network to build the future of autoimmunology at the 10th International Congress on Autoimmunity!

  • Tackling Racism Seriously
    Institut de Drets Humans / Facultat de Dret Doctor’s degree in Human rights, democracy and international justice TACKLING RACISM SERIOUSLY HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE UNDERPINNINGS OF ETHNIC RECOGNITION Doctoral thesis Author Supervisor Pier-Luc Dupont Ángeles Solanes Corella València, May 2017 Because they are rational creatures, sailors go to sea with the calculations already done; and all rational creatures go out on the sea of life with their minds made up on the common questions of right and wrong, as well as on many of the much harder questions of wise and foolish. And we can presume that they will continue to do so long as foresight continues to be a human quality. Whatever we adopt as the fundamental principle of morality, we need subordinate principles through which to apply it. John Stuart Mill It is important to be quite careful before seeing any tension between equality and liberty. Tension exists only when we specify conceptions of these broad terms that cannot peacefully coexist. Perhaps such incompatible conceptions cannot be defended. Perhaps the best conceptions of equality are entirely compatible with the best understandings of liberty. Cass Sunstein Neither in interpreting statutes nor precedents are judges confined to the alternatives of blind, arbitrary choice, or ‘mechanical’ deduction from rules with predetermined meaning. Very often their choice is guided by an assumption that the purpose of the rules which they are interpreting is a reasonable one, so that the rules are not intended to work injustice or offend settled moral principles. HLA Hart Rights is the child of law; from real law come real right; but from imaginary laws, from ‘laws of nature’, come imaginary rights… Natural rights is simple nonsense […], nonsense upon stilts.

  • Detection and Isolation of Plasmodium Liver Stages and Analysis of Circumsporozoite Protein Antigen Processing
    STUDIES ON EXOERYTHROCYTIC DEVELOPMENT OF PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM IN VITRO: DETECTION AND ISOLATION OF PLASMODIUM LIVER STAGES AND ANALYSIS OF CIRCUMSPOROZOITE PROTEIN ANTIGEN PROCESSING by Peter Dumoulin A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May, 2015 Abstract Malaria, the disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, remains a major global health burden despite efforts to eradicate the parasite. Infection is initiated when a mosquito deposits sporozoites into the dermis that then actively invade hepatocytes. Sporozoites and the resulting liver stage of Plasmodium falciparum infection are leading targets for generation of a protective vaccine. The circumsporozoite protein is the major surface protein on sporozoites and is the target of vaccines aimed at preventing blood stage infection. During the process of invasion, sporozoites cleave the N-terminus of CSP and consequently two forms of CSP are potentially exposed to the immune system. We utilized ectopic expression of two natural form of CSP to quantify their abilities to serve as targets for MHC class I-restricted CD8+ T cells. We determined that presentation of both forms of CSP on MHC class I depends on proteasomal activity, however, presentation of full length CSP is more efficient and is conferred by the presence of N-terminal lysine residues absent in the cleaved form of CSP. To evaluate the presence of these two forms during in vitro infection, we developed methods to allow for detection and isolation of developing live P. falciparum liver stages by flow cytometry. Using this technique we compared the susceptibility of five immortalized human hepatocyte cell lines and primary hepatocyte cultures from three donors to infection by P.

Lai, Nielsen ([email protected]); Michael Link, Nielsen ([email protected]); Ashley Richards, RTI International ([email protected]); Lorelle Vanno, Nielsen ([email protected]); Jeffrey Henning, Affinova, Inc. ([email protected]) The mobile, digitally networked era has expanded communication tools and styles. Technological augmentation of social networks enables screening calls, blocking contacts, and avoiding face to face interaction. These technologies also facilitate active and passive sharing of massive amounts of personal information while building virtual communities to meet real social needs. Online communication styles signify the arrival of a model for surveying very different from the two-way “conversation with a purpose.” One norm of online communication is interactivity. Facebook’s model of status updates, user comments, “likes,” and live feeds of social conversation can now be considered a norm for online communication. A second norm of online communication is the game. People compete in online games to earn rewards, status, and achievement but also to express themselves, build community, and experience altruism. “Gamification” makes routine experiences more engaging by providing points, badges and status for behaviors like checking in to venues (Foursquare) and buying coffee (My Starbucks Rewards).

  • Influence of Nutrient Loading on the Invasion of an Alien
    Project Title: Influence of Nutrient Loading on the Invasion of an Alien Plant Species, Giant Reed (Arundo donax), in Southern California Riparian Ecosystems Principal Investigators: Richard F. Ambrose Environmental Science and Engineering Program Department of Environmental Health Sciences and Philip W. Rundel Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of California, Los Angeles Los Angeles, CA 90095 UC Water Resources Center Technical Completion Report Project No. W-960 November 2007 Abstract Giant reed, Arundo donax L., is one of the greatest threats to riparian ecosystems of Mediterranean-type climate regions, including California. Forming extensive monotypic stands, A. donax increases the risks of flooding and fire, uses prodigious amounts of water, and reduces habitat value for wildlife. Urban and agricultural development adjacent to riparian ecosystems may contribute to its invasion success. The main hypothesis of this project is that the current abundance of nutrients, water, light, and fire in riparian ecosystems of Mediterranean-type climate promotes A. donax invasion. Analysis of the influence of nutrient enrichment from residential and agricultural land use types on A. donax infestation throughout several coastal watersheds in Southern California revealed that floodplains with enriched soil NO3-N supported A. donax infestations whereas sites with lower N levels did not. Unlike the native red willow (Salix laevigata Bebb.), A. donax may take advantage of anthropogenically enriched N (and K) levels in riparian ecosystems. Regarding response to fire, A. donax began regrowth from rhizomes immediately after being burned in October 2003 along the Santa Clara River whereas native riparian plants remained dormant for several months, and A. donax grew 3–4 times faster than native riparian plants.
