The Right to the City: New Challenges, New Issues

Oct 11, 2008 - Oct 15, 2008,
Klosterhotel Vadstena, Ostergotland Sweden

As it has been largely documented, modern states are facing political rescaling processes in which the roles and functions of the different levels of government are evolving. Thus city-regions are becoming central economic and political territories in which a new division of labour is occurring between the states and the local authorities. This tendency has been particularly analysed by the economic literature but also by geography, sociology and political science. At the same time, there is a large literature on the general tendency towards the pluralization of urban decision systems in different institutional, cultural, political and economic contexts. To say it briefly, these processes (i.e. political rescaling and participative democracy at local level) generate a new “right to the city”: the capacity to influence the agendas of urban public institutions by using “appropriate” demands based on the formulation of rights recognized as legitimate by urban institutions. The on-going process of the constitution of an “urban citizenship” involves a set of social demands which are, by definition, contradictory in that sense that the “right to the city” must be linked to the social groups and classes using it in order to organize themselves, to generate collective identity and collective action. The work program of the Conference addresses a number of empirical subjects, all vectors of a “right to the city”. Its objective is to compare the effects of these dynamics on the content of urban policies and on the transformation of citizenship regimes.

ESF Research Conferences provide the opportunity for the world's leading scientists and other participants, including young researchers, to meet informally for discussions at the highest level on the most recent developments in their fields of research. They act as a catalyst for creating new synergistic contacts throughout Europe and the rest of the world. This conference will be of interest to academic and policy researchers in the field of higher education and to researchers in other relevant social science fields, e.g. science policy, regional development, governance, social equity.

The conference will take place at Vadstena Klosterhotel, located in a lovely natural setting on the shores of beautiful lake Vättern, offering comfortable accommodation in a historic environment. During the Middle Ages, Vadstena was the location of a catholic monastery for monks and nuns of the Birgittine order and nowadays the conference center and hotel is largely located in the same medieval buildings that were once the monastery.

Spirometry: Interpretation of Pulmonary or Lung Function Tests

Oct 11, 2008 - Oct 11, 2008,
Choa Chu Kang Polyclinic ,Primary Care Academy Learning Centre Singapore Singapore

Primary care physicians are increasing called upon to treat and manage many common respiratory conditions, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In the past, spirometry or lung function testing was mainly performed in the specialist/ hospital setting. In recent years, there has been a move to performing simple “Office spirometry” within the general practice setting. Hence, several family physicians might encounter opportunities to perform, read and interpret pulmonary lung function tests. This course aims to give a brief introduction into the how, what and why of lung function tests.

4th International Conference on Gene Regulation in Lymphocyte Development

Oct 11, 2008 - Oct 16, 2008,
Aldemar Paradise Village Rhodes Greece

Of all mature hematopoietic cell types, lymphocytes are most sophisticated in terms of their combination of highly regulated, differentiated characteristics with virtually unlimited proliferative potential and the ability to respond correctly in a wide variety of microenvironments. The developmental process that generates these cells from pluripotent hematopoietic precursors needs to install regulatory circuits so robust that they can faithfully maintain cell-type-specific characteristics in different places, different times, and after different numbers of divisions. Exciting recent advances are now helping us begin to understand the regulatory cascade that pushes cells through the transition from pluripotent progenitor to committed B or T lymphocyte.

This conference is explicitly planned to bring together researchers working on the transcriptional mechanisms regulating gene expression in lymphocyte development with those addressing the impact of regulatory changes on developmental choices. The goal is to provide a lively, critical audience for models proposing specific causal linkages between transcription factors, their target genes, and a resulting change in developmental fate.
