Optimizing hydropathy scale to improve IDP prediction and characterizing IDPs' functions
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are flexible proteins without defined 3D structures. Studies show that IDPs are abundant in nature and actively involved in numerous biological processes. Two crucial subjects in the study of IDPs lie in analyzing IDPs’ functions and identifying them. We …

The plight of internally displaced persons (IDPs) during armed conflict: the case of Sudan and Somalia
The plight of internally displaced persons (IDPs)in Sudan and Somalia constitutes one of the greatest human tragedy of our time since the end of the Cold War. The concept of IDPs is immense and growing. This research paper addressed the plight of IDPs during armed conflict in Sudan and Somalia. …

Peacebuilding in the Context of Displacement: Women’s Groups in Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) Settlements in Kenya
… found refuge in internally displaced persons (IDPs) camps. Although the Kenyan Government resettled some of the IDPs later in eco-villages and inner city settlements, seven years later there were still 309,200 in IDPs camps across the country. The objective of this qualitative multi-sited …

Investigation into the success and failures of Integrated Development Plans (IDPs) as a service delivery tool in Makhado Local Municipality
… We have assessed Makhado local municipality IDPs from a base year of 2008 to determine whether services delivery projects listed in those IDP were successfully implemented or not. In terms of service delivery projects in Makhado's IDP the analysis shows that some projects were carried out …

The social and cultural impact of internally displaced persons, IDPs’ camps on the host community in Nigeria: a sociological evaluation
… or resettlement as internally displaced persons (IDPs) within their own country of origin. Such people cannot easily return to their homes largely because of impending threats to their lives. Most of these IDPs have no choice other than to reside in displaced persons camps that are often ad hoc in …

International displacement and state compliance with international human rights standards: the current protection of internally displaced persons' right to physical security in Nigeria
… the 40.8 million internally displaced persons' (IDPs) worldwide, Nigeria had a total of 1,955,000 IDPs at the end of 2016. Consequently, Nigeria is among the countries with the highest number of displaced persons globally. A wide range of political, economic, social, and environmental factors, …

Functional Relevance of Protein Disorder: Why is Disorder Favourable?
… Termed as intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), they populate a number of different conformations in isolation. Interestingly, as part of their function, some IDPs become fully or partly structured upon interaction with their binding partners. This process, known as coupled folding and …

Spatial Dimensions of Conflict-Induced Internally Displaced Population in the Puttalam District of Sri Lanka from 1980 to 2012
… implications of Sri Lanka’s Puttalam District IDPs? Archival and contemporary sources from various disciplines were utilized when reviewing the literature and revealed widely divergent opinions about the historical geography and the current initiatives regarding IDPs. The research study’s mixed …

Electrostatic properties at the interface of p53 Transactivation domain binding
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are an abundant class of proteins and protein regions which rapidly change between multiple structures without an equilibrium position. IDPs exist as a series of conformational ensembles of semi-stable conformations that can be adopted based on a hilly …

Il giudice costituzionale colombiano vis-à-vis dello sfollamento interno
… on the subject of internally displaced persons, IDPs, in Colombia. In particular, this paper seeks to underline the special role played by the Constitutional Court in defending the fundamental rights of IDPs, both as a judge and a public political actor. Colombia has the second highest number of …

Intrinsically disordered proteins in molecular recognition and structural proteomics
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are abundant in nature, being more prevalent in the proteomes of eukaryotes than those of bacteria or archaea. As introduced in Chapter I, these proteins, or portions of these proteins, lack stable equilibrium structures and instead have dynamic …

Democratizing Refugee Governance Through Critical Reflexivity
… how refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) are conceived in international relations, and how they are understood in relation to the global refugee regime complex. This research explores how cognitive frames are impeding fair/democratic governance of IDPs/refugees and employs two case …

Seeking Relief in the City: An Examination of Planning in Karachi to Support Internally Displaced People after the 2022 Floods in Pakistan
… in millions of internally displaced people (IDPs) facing difficult choices. Karachi, the country’s largest city and capital of Sindh province, was the destination for tens of thousands of evacuees. Many of these rural-urban migrants ended up in relief camps lacking basic facilities and …

Decoding the Sequence-Dependent Properties of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
… Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) lack a well-defined structure yet manage to interact with a variety of partners. At a basic level we can use amino-acid sequences to predict disordered content, but the sequence profile of an IDP can tell us so much more. By leveraging …

Primary Structure and Solution Conditions Determine Conformational Ensemble Properties of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
<p>Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are a class of proteins that do not exhibit well-defined three-dimensional structures. The absence of structure is intrinsic to their amino acid sequences, which are characterized by low hydrophobicity and high net charge per residue compared to folded …

Conformational Analysis of Disordered Proteins Using H/D Exchange Mass Spectrometry
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) represent a growing area of scientific interest. The prevalence of IDPs within the proteomes of complex organisms and the importance of these proteins in cellular functions has become apparent. The application of hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry …

Place attachment and perception of home under the impact of internal displacement in rural settlements of northern Cyprus
… groups: locals and internally displaced persons (IDPs). Locals are identified as people who have always lived in northern Cyprus, while IDPs are defined as people who were displaced from southern Cyprus as an outcome of the conflict between Greek and Turkish Cypriots. The study has identified the …
