Mitochondria are essential cellular organelles known for their role in energy production, apoptosis, aging, calcium signaling and others. Due to their essential nature, mitochondria are often under attack by numerous pathogens as a means to promote their infection. Consequently, mitochondrial function is often perturbed during infection, a phenomenon that must be mitigated in order for the host to survive. Cells employ various tactics to repair damaged mitochondria during stresses such as pathogenic infection. One way of countering mitochondrial stress is through the recovery mechanism known as the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt). The UPRmt supports mitochondrial recovery by promoting mitochondrial proteostasis via chaperones and quality control proteases, as well as regulating the detoxification of free radicals, and supporting metabolic adaptations. In addition, the UPRmt is also coupled to the regulation of innate immunity, to defend the host against pathogenic infections. However, pathogens have also evolved means to subvert this stress response pathway in an effort to out-maneuver the host. The following dissertation explores the relationship between the UPRmt and bacterial infection by first characterizing an output of the UPRmt that has direct antimicrobial activity. Second, the mechanism by which an opportunistic pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, represses the UPRmt protective pathway is explored both at the level of pathogen and the host.

This “splendidly satirical novel” by the award-winning Pakistani author “beautifully captures the absurdity and folly of war and its ineluctable impact” (Booklist, starred review). An American pilot crash lands in the desert and finds himself on the outskirts of the very camp he was supposed to bomb. After days spent wandering and hallucinating from dehydration, Major Ellie is rescued by one of the camp’s residents, a teenager named Momo, whose money-making schemes are failing while his family falls apart. His older brother left for his first day of work at an American base and never returned; his parents are at each other’s throats; his dog is having a very bad day; and a well-meaning aid worker has shown up wanting to research him for her book on the Teenage Muslim Mind. To escape the madness, Momo sets out to search for his brother, and hopes his new Western acquaintances might be able to help find him. But as the truth of Ali’s whereabouts begin to unfold, the effects of American “aid” on this war-torn country are revealed to be increasingly pernicious. In Red Birds, acclaimed author Mohammed Hanif reveals critical truths about the state of the world with his trademark wit and keen eye for absurdity.

Un pilote américain se crashe dans le désert et, à l''évidence, le Major Ellie n''est pas tout à fait entraîné pour ce genre de pépin. Sa détresse monte d''un cran, lorsqu''il découvre le contenu de son kit de survie : quatre bricoles et un mini paquet d''After Eight. Une chose est sûre, ça ne va pas être une partie de plaisir. À quelques kilomètres de là, dans un camp de réfugiés à l''abandon, Momo, un petit caïd de 14 ans, a lui aussi des problèmes : ses rêves de fortune stagnent à l''état de mirages ; son chien Clebs se prend pour ce qu''il n''est pas ; une universitaire reconvertie dans l''humanitaire s''est mis en tête de le prendre pour sujet de sa thèse sur « le mental des adolescents musulmans » ; pire enfin, son frère a disparu. C''est bien sûr dans ce nid de coucou que le Major Ellie va trouver refuge...

Irgendwo über der orientalischen Wüste stürzt US-Major Ellie mit seinem Hightech-Kampfjet ab. Er staunt nicht schlecht, wer ihm zur Rettung eilt: ein vorwitziger Teenager mit eigenem Jeep und ramponiertem Hund, ausgerechnet aus dem Flüchtlingscamp, das Ellie bombardieren sollte. Momo hofft, dass der Bruchpilot ihm helfen kann, seinen Bruder zu finden. Mit einer neugierigen Entwicklungshelferin im Schlepptau macht sich das unwahrscheinliche Gespann auf die Suche nach dem verschwundenen Jungen. Nach dem Bestseller "Eine Kiste explodierender Mangos" das neue satirische Meisterwerk von Mohammed Hanif – über Krieg, Familie und Überlebensstrategien für beide Höllen.

Palestine is proud of you'' - Suad Amiry ________________ The Palestine Festival of Literature was established in 2008. Bringing together writers from all corners of the globe, it aims to help Palestinians break the cultural siege imposed by the Israeli military occupation, to strengthen their artistic links with the rest of the world, and to reaffirm, in the words of Edward Said, ''the power of culture over the culture of power''. Celebrating the tenth anniversary of PalFest, This Is Not a Border is a collection of essays, poems and stories from some of the world''s most distinguished artists, responding to their experiences at this unique festival. Both heartbreaking and hopeful, their gathered work is a testament to the power of literature to promote solidarity and courage in the most desperate of situations.

The Palestine Festival of Literature exists to do just that – and I salute it for its work. Not only this year but for as long as it is necessary'' - Philip Pullman

Le présent recueil de poèmes, établi en plusieurs années, fixe des instants d’une longue, et combien lente, procession, psycho-spirituelle, vers l’illumination ; passant par l’introspection, la méditation et la communion. Je l’ai divisé en trois chapitres : • Celui du monde matériel ante-introspectif, que je nomme « REALITES » • Celui de la lutte et des remises en question, que je nomme « PRISE DE CONSCIENCE » • Celui du parcours et de l’arrivée ou communion, que je nomme « ILLUMINATION ».

Analyse de l''intérêt et des limites du management appliqué à la Défense Nationale. Réponse à la question: le management est-il, pour la Défense Nationale, d''une utilité permanente ou limitée au temps de paix ?

An account of enforced disappearances in Baluchistan. The stories are based on interviews conducted with families of the missing.

Alice Bhatti has just come out of prison and is looking for a second chance. She’s hungry, tough, and full of fight, but being a Catholic choohra in Karachi means she also needs good luck. A lot of it. Alice’s prayers are answered when she gets a job as Junior Nurse at the Sacred Heart Hospital, a squalid public hospital full of shoot-out victims and homeless drug addicts. There she meets Teddy Butt, a trigger happy, ex-body builder, and a part-time goon for the police. The two could not be further apart and that’s why they fall in love—Teddy with sudden violence, Alice in cautious hope. How will their unlikely romance end? In A Case of Exploding Mangoes, Mohammed Hanif tore into the corruption of the army and General Zia’s dictatorship; in this novel he draws a dark and compelling portrait of Pakistan today where killers fall in love and lovers are forced to make impossible choices. Written with savage humour and in sizzling prose, Our Lady of Alice Bhatti is a tour de force from one of the most brilliant young writers today.

Au Pakistan, après onze ans de règne, le général Zia ul-Haq craint pour sa vie. Lui qui chaque jour aime interroger le Coran comme on consulte un horoscope, pourra-t-il faire le lien avec le vol d''un avion militaire, un sous-officier en mal de vengeance, le secrétaire du syndicat des balayeurs, et un corbeau trop gourmand de mangues ? Quand l''histoire est en marche, il faut la regarder parader.

A Washington Post, Rocky Mountain News, Boston Globe Best Book of the Year Intrigue and subterfuge combine with bad luck and good in this darkly comic debut about love, betrayal, tyranny, family, and a conspiracy trying its damnedest to happen. Ali Shigri, Pakistan Air Force pilot and Silent Drill Commander of the Fury Squadron, is on a mission to avenge his father''s suspicious death, which the government calls a suicide.Ali''s target is none other than General Zia ul-Haq, dictator of Pakistani. Enlisting a rag-tag group of conspirators, including his cologne-bathed roommate, a hash-smoking American lieutenant, and a mango-besotted crow, Ali sets his elaborate plan in motion. There''s only one problem: the line of would-be Zia assassins is longer than he could have possibly known.
