Mainstream literature on global value chains (GVCs) and production networks (GPNs) has increasingly demonstrated how the state political conjunctures play a central role in strategic coupling. Nonetheless, scholarly attention still remains of firms their strategies. By focusing firms, GVC GPN scholars often underestimate influence that non-firm actors such as have coupling, especially concernin...

This paper emerges out of a study with 293 young people (Syrians, Palestinians and nationals) living in contexts compound crises protracted displacement Jordan Lebanon. In the paper, we discuss how people’s education trajectories can be conceptualised, operationalised studied. We synthesise different approaches to understanding analysing such into framework that captures intricate multi-directi...

The genes encoding the ribosomal P-proteins CcP0, CcP1 and CcP2 of Ceratitis capitata were expressed in the conditional P0-null strains W303dGP0 and D67dGP0 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the ribosomes of which contain either standard amounts or are totally deprived of the P1/P2 proteins, respectively. The presence of the CcP0 protein restored cell viability but reduced the growth rate. In the W3...

The possibility of separating ascites tumor cells with different numbers of chromo somes by means of counter-streaming centrifugation has been studied with the hy perdiploid Ehnlich ascites tumor (ELD) and its hypertetraploid offshoot (ELT). From ELD a fraction significantly higher in deoxyribonucleic acid phosphorus (DNAP) per cell than the unfractionated suspension was obtained. Inoculated in...

In these lecture notes we review some prospect for the upcoming LHC experiments in view of the exploration of the Standard Model (SM) or its minimal Supersymmetric extension (MSSM). We focus on some theoretical aspects concerning the Higgs sector of the two models. We give results for the precision observables MW and mt and their impact on the indirect determination of the Higgs sector. We furt...

This article argues for a new anthropology of the life course, one founded in indeterminacy and innovation. The fact that vital life events are rarely coherent, clear in direction, or fixed in outcome dramatically limits the usefulness of the life cycle model. In its place, I propose a unit of social analysis based in aspiration rather than event. I call this the vital conjuncture—integrating t...

How a country responds to rupture such as the COVID-19 pandemic can be revelatory of its governance. Governance entails not only exercise but also constitution authority. The response thus presents real-world disruption verify or problematize some truisms about national governance and produce novel comparisons insights. We present comparative analysis across four established democratic nation-s...
