Repression and international conflict
… between them. Under what conditions does repression lead to international conflict? I extend the logic of why leaders repress to suggest that repression can alter states' power internationally. I argue that leaders can repress to prepare for a possible international conflict, but the act …

State repression, nonviolence, and protest mobilization
… direct action, along with Hess and Martin's repression backfire, in order to deepen our understanding of how state repression impacts protest mobilization and historical processes of social change. After initially problematizing Gene Sharp’s notions of power and consent with aid of political …

3 Essays on Protests, Repression, and Signaling
… with a formal model. The model shows that repression can have a screening purpose. Governments use coercion to set the terms of contention so that they only have to accommodate sufficiently aggrieved and salient groups, while filtering out the rest. The model also demonstrates that …

Repression, Elections, and Competitiveness in Competitive Authoritarian Regimes
… that these authoritarian tendencies towards repression are limited by the competitive nature of the regimes. Examining competitive authoritarian regimes from 1990 to 2008, I use data from the Varieties of Democracy, Quality of Government, and Mass Mobilization datasets to examine repression …

Evolution of caudal translational repression in higher insects
… bicoid (bcd) steuert the translationale Repression von caudal (cad) in Drosophila Embryos. Das bcd Gen kommt im Gegensatz zu cad nur in einer abgeleiteten Gruppe von Diptera vor. Die Expression von cad in anderen Insektenarten muss daher auf andere Weise reguliert sein. Interessanterweise …

Institutionalization, repression and political instability in authoritarian regimes
… politics focuses on the use of co-optation and repression to explain how autocrats mitigate the hazardous conditions under which they rule. The former induce compliance and co-operation by providing social and material benefits, while the latter forces with the threat of physical punishment. …

Interdomain Repression in the Enhancer Binding Protein NorR
… is unknown. Here, the mechanism of interdomain repression in NorR has been investigated by characterising substitutions in the AAA+ domain that bypass repression by the regulatory domain. Most of these substitutions are located in the vicinity of the surface-exposed loops that engage σ54 during …

Repression Of Autophagy During Erythroid Development By Gfi1b
… line. Our results demonstrated transcriptional repression of intronic DNA elements from the FOXO3 and BNIP3 genes by GFI1B. Overall, the results of the experiments of my thesis, indicate transcriptional repression of autophagy genes by GFI1B as a vital strategy in preventing excessive autophagic …

Patterns of Repression and Resistance in Communist Europe
This dissertation aims to trace how the peculiar structures of Communist political systems influenced people's means of protest and thereby helped to constitute general state-society relations. It is argued that big structural changes like the abolition of the market and civil society and the …

Evolution of Tech-Assisted Repression in Putin's Russia
… an examination of the evolution of tech-assisted repression in Putin's Russia. The thesis uses a novel analytical framework called the T.E.A. table framework, which organizes repression into three categories: techniques (the repressive acts themselves), effects (short-to-medium term individual and …

Sovereigns of Sanctuaries: Host State Responses to Transnational Repression
… have long studied nation-states’ domestic repression of anti-government dissent, there is a growing awareness that such coercion extends across international borders. Nation-states pursue and repress their nationals abroad through a predatory process known as transnational repression (TR). …

The Role of Cyp33 in MLL Mediated Gene Repression
… increases Histone Deacacetylase1 (HDAC1) to the repression domain (RD) of MLL thereby reducing target gene expression (Xia, Z 2003, Fair, K 2001, Anderson, M 2002). It has been hypothesized that cis-trans prolyl isomerase activity is important for recruitment of HDAC1 as increased CYP33 leads to …

Political Participation and Political Repression: Women in Saudi Arabia
… women's political participation and political repression. In the course of this research I learned that political repression inhibits women's political participation, and in Saudi Arabia women remain voiceless despite the new political space - political participation did not account for …

Compliance with IMF austerity: labor rights, protest, and repression
… violent anti-government protests, and increased repression of physical integrity rights. I find that as compliance with IMF austerity increases labor rights respect declines, violent protests increase, and repression increases. While compliance on average is low, the findings here suggest that if …

CRAMP1 drives linker histone expression to enable Polycomb repression
… characterised gene CRAMP1 in PRC2-mediated repression. CRAMP1 localises to the promoters of all expressed H1 genes where it acts as a positive transcriptional regulator. Ablation of CRAMP1 provides a unique tool to simultaneously deplete all linker histones, which results in selective …

Epigenetic repression of the NFATc1 transcription factor in human lymphomas
… within nfatc1 locus is a major mechanism for the repression of NFATc1 expression, suggesting that the DNA methylation-mediated transcriptional silencing of NFATc1 may be a critical event in the tumorogenesis of ALCLs and cHLs. Furthermore, the DNA methylation of human nfatc1 promoter region could …

Dynamic Shuttling of AGO2 to the Nucleus Relieves MicroRNA Repression
… (NLS-AGO2-GFP), we were able to phenocopy the de-repression of cytoplasmic candidate genes and observe a correlation with a higher rate of migration. Our findings reveal dynamic relocalization of AGO2 to the nucleus in colon cancer culture systems and primary colon tumor tissue, which may impact …
