Spatiality of refugee camps in Jordan: Tracing the evolution of spatial realities, the case of Marka Camp, Jordan. KU Leuven
In Jordan, Palestine refugee camps have turned by time into socioeconomic centers of gravity and cores of urban evolution. Yet, such position is not instantaneous. Amongst various reasons, it can be related (according to this paper) to a distinctive institutional climate that has been co-produced, by the refugees and the hosting country. In Jordan, where many Palestine refugees enjoy full citizenship while preserving their status as “refugees ...
Evolution of self-organisation in Dictyostelia by adaptation of a non-selective phosphodiesterase and a matrix component for regulated cAMP degradation Ghent University
Dictyostelium discoideum amoebas coordinate aggregation and morphogenesis by secreting cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) pulses that propagate as waves through fields of cells and multicellular structures. To retrace how this mechanism for self-organisation evolved, we studied the origin of the cAMP phosphodiesterase PdsA and its inhibitor PdiA, which are essential for cAMP wave propagation. D. discoideum and other species that use cAMP to ...
Pre-maturation with cAMP modulators in conjunction with EGF-like peptides during in vitro maturation enhances mouse oocyte developmental competence Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Recent studies have independently shown that cyclic adenosine 3'5'-monophosphate (cAMP) modulation prior to in vitro maturation (IVM) and epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like peptide supplementation during IVM improve subsequent oocyte developmental outcomes. This study investigated the effects of an IVM system that incorporates these two concepts. Cumulus-oocyte-complexes (COCs) were collected from pre-pubertal mice either 46?h post-equine ...
Moving onward? Secondary movers on the fringes of refugee mobility in Kakuma refugee Camp, Kenya Ghent University
This article examines the migration-asylum nexus in the microcosm of Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya by focusing on refugees and asylum seekers who move onward from a first refuge, in Central-East Africa. By drawing on qualitative ethnographic field research in Kakuma, the article outlines how such “secondary movements” cause many anxieties, as the distinction between refugees and migrants is blurred by motivations that are not exclusively ...

Cholera outbreak in Dadaab Refugee camp, Kenya - November 2015-June 2016 Institute of Tropical Medicine
Dadaab Refugee camp in Garissa County, Kenya, hosts nearly 340,000 refugees in five subcamps (Dagahaley, Hagadera, Ifo, Ifo2, and Kambioos) (1). On November 18 and 19, 2015, during an ongoing national cholera outbreak (2), two camp residents were evaluated for acute watery diarrhea (three or more stools in ≤24 hours); Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1 serotype Ogawa was isolated from stool specimens collected from both patients. Within 1 week of ...
