Palestinian Theatre in the West Bank

Our Human Faces

By: Gabriel Varghese

Since the 1990s, Palestinian theatrical activities in the West Bank have expanded exponentially. As well as local productions, Palestinian theatre-makers have presented their work to international audiences on a scale unprecedented in Palestinian history. This book explores the histories of the five major theatre companies currently working in the West Bank: Al-Kasaba Theatre, Ashtar Theatre, Al-Harah Theatre, The Freedom Theatre and Al-Rowwad. Taking the first intifada (1987-93) as his point of departure, and drawing on original fieldwork and interviews with Palestinian practitioners, Gabriel Varghese introduces the term ‘abject counterpublics’ to explore how theatre-makers contest Zionist discourse and Israeli state practices. By foregrounding Palestinian voices, and placing theories of abjection and counterpublic formation in conversation with each other, Varghese argues that theatre in the West Bank has been regulated by processes of colonial abjection and, yet, it is an important site for resisting Zionism's discourse of erasure and Israeli settler-colonialism and apartheid. Palestinian Theatre in the West Bank: Our Human Faces is the first major account of Palestinian theatre covering the last three decades.

Spirituality in John's Gospel

Historical Developments and Critical Foundations

By: Gabriel-Mary Fiore

The Fourth Gospel has been known as the “spiritual gospel” since the second century, but only recently have biblical scholars attempted to express the unique spirituality found in that sacred text. Surprisingly, no consensus has emerged even after a century of research. Thus, while John’s Gospel is widely admired as a vibrant source of Christian piety, the distinct features of its spirituality remain unclear. Fr. Fiore addresses this problem from the fresh perspective of spiritual theology. Capitalizing on a century of Johannine biblical scholarship, he uses the interdisciplinary methods of spiritual theology to bring new data to the study of the Gospel and solutions to many lingering questions: How did ancient readers understand what scholars now refer to as the Gospel’s spirituality? How does that ecclesial reading compare to the analysis of modern critical exegesis? What makes Johannine spirituality special among other forms of Christian piety? How does the question of the Gospel’s authorship impact our understanding of its spirituality? Does the Gospel contain what we now call “mysticism”? In what ways is John’s spirituality still relevant for Christians today? Students of Christian spirituality and Johannine exegesis alike will find here stimulating historical and theological analysis of the Gospel’s spirituality.

Quality of Telecommunication Services

By: Lucian Gabriel Ioan,Marius-Constantin Vochin,Grazziela Niculescu

Defining means and methods designed to ensure the quality of service (QoS mechanisms), which is the objective of the first part of this paper, involves a series of analytical or experimental modeling activities (for example, by simulation) and analysis which, in turn, involve various mathematical disciplines, such as probability theory and statistics, in order to determine how to act, considering the factors that influence the quality of service. Having a generous theoretical support, each of these mentioned activities and instruments is a separate subject, the exposure of which can be found in the following two parts of this paper. This is the Part II, which aims at presenting the basic analytical tools used in the description of random phenomena, and the Part III, dealing with the specific aspects of telecommunication services, regarding the modeling and analysis processes for their quality.

Cancer Biomarkers in Body Fluids

Biomarkers in Proximal Fluids

By: Gabriel D. Dakubo

The ability to measure and monitor cancer biomarkers in “body fluid biopsy” should greatly impact oncologic practice. “Biomarkers in Proximal Fluids”, the third of the “Cancer Biomarkers in Body Fluids” series details cancer signatures in none or minimally circulating body fluids including saliva, sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, exhaled breath condensate, nipple aspirate fluid, gastric and pancreatic juice, stool, urine, and prostatic, peritoneal and cerebrospinal fluid. These fluids are enriched with biomarkers, especially those emanating from cells of the proximal tissue. Chapter 1 examines the global burden of cancer and the need for regional efforts at primary prevention, early detection and patient care. Chapters 2-12 address tissue-specific biomarkers in associated body fluids. The tumor interstitial fluid as a microenvironment rich in cancer biomarkers is detailed in chapter 13, while chapter 14 looks at the human body fluid microbiome and its evolving role in cancer. Commercially available assays using proximal fluids are examined at the end of the respective chapters. This book complements its predecessors and is equally useful to oncologists, cancer researchers, clinicians, medical students, nurses, diagnostic laboratory and pharmaceutical industry personnel.

The effects of flaxseed and tamoxifen on the inflammatory microenvironment in normal breast tissue and in breast cancer

The effects of flaxseed and tamoxifen on the inflammatory microenvironment in normal breast tissue and in breast cancer

By: Gabriel Lindahl

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide today. Nearly 9000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in Sweden yearly and despite advantages in diagnostics and treatments approximately 1400 women still die from their disease every year. Breast cancer has a diverse etiology and hormonal factors and life-style factors contribute to an increased breast cancer risk. High mammographic density is also considered a risk factor but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Inflammation is associated with poor survival in several malignancies and is considered a hallmark of cancer. There is evidence indicating that increased inflammation is associated with dense breast tissue and may contribute to an increased risk of breast cancer in these patients. There is an urgent need to find risk reduction strategies in breast cancer prevention. Several studies have shown that antiestrogens significantly reduce breast cancer incidence in women with high risk of developing breast cancer and can be used for chemoprevention. These drugs may have potentially severe side effects and other strategies are needed. Dietary interventions may influence breast cancer risk without any major side effects. Studies indicate that dietary phytoestrogens may reduce breast cancer risk. The most common phytoestrogens in Western populations are lignans, mainly found in flaxseed, but results from several studies with lignans for breast cancer prevention have been inconsistent. In this thesis we investigated the effects of tamoxifen and flaxseed on inflammatory mediators in normal breast tissue and in breast cancer. We used the microdialysis technique to sample proteins from the extracellular space in vivo. This technique gives us the opportunity to study proteins in their bioactive compartment in situ and to study changes in protein levels at different time points without affecting the tissue of interest. We also used experimental models and cell cultures to study tumor growth of human breast cancer xenografts, cancer cell proliferation and angiogenesis. In paper I, we investigated whether tamoxifen, flaxseed, enterolactone or genestein reduced growth of human breast cancer xenografts and their association with pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and its antagonist interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra). In paper II, we investigated whether tamoxifen and flaxseed exerted similar effects on inflammatory mediators in normal breast tissue in vivo. In paper III, we investigated whether osteopontin (OPN), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, was associated with dense breast tissue and breast cancer and if tamoxifen and flaxseed could alter OPN levels in normal breast tissue in vivo. We also investigated the correlation between OPN and inflammatory mediators in normal breast tissue and in breast cancer in vivo. In conclusion, we showed that tamoxifen and flaxseed affected breast cancer growth in an experimental model and may exert an anti-inflammatory effect in breast cancer and normal breast tissue by increasing the IL-1Ra/IL-1β ratio in vivo. We showed that dense breast tissue and breast cancer were associated with increased levels of OPN. Circulating estrogen did not correlate to OPN and tamoxifen and flaxseed did not affect OPN levels suggesting an estrogen independent regulation of OPN in vivo. These finding contributes to our understanding of how tamoxifen and flaxseed affects inflammation and the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of breast cancer.
