Žena jeho snů - William Mark Simmons
O knize Žena jeho snů Třetí kniha série Kroniky Dreamlandu. Další dobrodružství Roberta Ripleye se odehrává opět ve virtuálním prostředí počítačových her, ale do děje se začíná míchat paralelní svět.

Determining susceptibility loci in triple negative breast cancer using a novel pre-clinical model
Abstract Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer and the second cause of death in US women. Our lack of understanding of how genetic variants affect molecular mechanisms that mediate BC aggression poses a substantial obstacle to advancements in cancer diagnosis and therapy. To examine genetic variants on BC traits, a novel murine model was created with robust phenotypic and genomic variation.

Gainesville First City in Florida to Pass Fair Chance Hiring Law Restricting Private Employers’ Use of Criminal History
The city of Gainesville has passed a Fair Chance Hiring law governing an employer’s use and consideration of a job applicant’s criminal history in making employment decisions. In light of these changes, covered employers with operations in Gainesville that use criminal records to vet candidates should consider a privileged review of their policies, procedures, and other documents related to the screening process.
This lagoon is effectively a person, says Spanish law that’s attempting to save it
Only a few years ago, the clear, shallow waters of Mar Menor, a saltwater lagoon off eastern Spain that is Europe’s largest, hosted a robust population of the highly endangered fan mussel, a meter-long bivalve. But in 2016, a massive algal bloom, fueled by fertilizer washing off farm fields, sucked up the lagoon’s oxygen and killed 98% of the bivalves, along with seahorses, crabs, and other marine life. The suffocating blooms struck again and again, and millions of dead fish washed onto shore.
Advancing sexual and reproductive rights in “scofflaw” countries
Using human rights covertly can identify harms otherwise difficult to attribute to root causes—especially in “scofflaw” countries. Sex workers and allies march together for a march in Vancouver in June, 2016. Pictured here is the red umbrella, which is the symbol of the global sex workers’ rights movement. Sally T. Buck/(CC BY-NC-ND 2.0) Over the past two decades, global advancement of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) has been patchwork at best.
Making the case for a more joyful approach to human rights
Joy is essential to understanding the struggle for human rights, and recognizing this can articulate a more positive notion of human rights. Focusing on joy in the field of human rights felt very foreign to me and others when I first started the project that would culminate in my book, Joyful Human Rights. But now it seems so familiar—not just because I have spent six years living the project, but because it has resonated with so many people along the way.
Prôner une approche plus joyeuse des droits humains
La joie est essentielle pour comprendre la lutte pour les droits humains et en être conscient peut entraîner une vision plus positive des droits humains. Se pencher sur la joie dans le domaine des droits humains s’est avéré très étrange, notamment pour moi, quand j’ai commencé le projet dont le point d’orgues a été mon livre, Joyful Human Rights.

Parlons de l’avenir commun de l’humanité plutôt que du rétrécissement de l’espace civique
Pour défendre la société civile, nous devons moins parler des menaces qui pèsent sur elle et insister plutôt sur ses valeurs et leur apport à l’ensemble de la société et montrer aux gens comment ils peuvent contribuer au changement. La société civile est une des grandes réussites du 20ème siècle.
“Yazidi Female Survivors Law” in Iraq is groundbreaking but not enough
The new “Yazidi Female Survivors Law”, while groundbreaking, is too narrow to address the needs of some of Iraq’s most vulnerable communities. Yazidi ethnic mourners cry in front of pictures of victims, during the fifth anniversary of Yazidi genocide by Islamic State in Baadre, 25 km south east of Duhok Kurdistan region in Iraq on 03 August 2019.
El argumento a favor de un enfoque más alegre sobre los derechos humanos
La alegría es esencial para comprender la lucha por los derechos humanos, y al reconocer esto se puede formular una noción más positiva de los derechos humanos. El enfoque en la alegría dentro del campo de los derechos humanos era algo que tanto a mí como a otras personas nos parecía muy ajeno cuando comencé el proyecto que culminaría en mi libro Joyful Human Rights (Derechos humanos llenos de alegría).
Las investigaciones sobre el cerebro sugieren que enfatizar las violaciones de derechos humanos puede perpetuarlas
Aprovechando la capacidad del cerebro para simular acontecimientos, los mensajes sobre comportamientos positivos –en lugar de la exposición reiterada a relatos sobre violaciones de derechos– podrían ser más eficaces para propiciar los cambios que deseamos en el mundo. A lo largo de las últimas décadas, gran parte de la labor en materia de derechos humanos se ha centrado forzosamente en sacar a la luz las violaciones de derechos humanos.
¿Por qué el futuro de los derechos humanos debe ser esperanzador?
En un movimiento de derechos humanos dedicado a denunciar abusos, la comunicación positiva no se da fácilmente. Pero para reivindicar los derechos humanos, tenemos que prometer un futuro más brillante. En un movimiento de derechos humanos dedicado a denunciar abusos, la comunicación positiva no se da fácilmente.
No hablemos de la reducción del espacio, sino del futuro compartido de la humanidad
Para apoyar a la sociedad civil, tenemos que hablar menos sobre las amenazas que enfrenta y más sobre los valores que representa y sus contribuciones a la sociedad, y mostrarles a las personas cómo pueden generar cambios. La sociedad civil es una de las grandes historias de éxito del siglo XX. Por lo tanto, no es de extrañar que los populistas en todo el mundo estén tan ansiosos por atacar no solo su capacidad de funcionamiento, sino también su legitimidad ante el público en general.
Paternal ignorance in human rights devalues knowledge of marginalized populations
In the paternal drive to offer aid, victims and their knowledge are viewed as inferior, but rights activists need to admit their ignorance and question their positionality. A sex worker wears a mask that says "Sex work is not a crime" while participating in a protest in La Paz, Bolivia in September, 2020.

La ignorancia paternal en materia de derechos humanos devalúa el conocimiento de las poblaciones marginadas
Trabajadoras sexuales protestan en La Paz (Bolivia) EFE/Martin Alipaz “Es cierto, en cualquier caso, que la ignorancia, aliada con el poder, es la enemiga más feroz que puede tener la justicia”. —James Baldwin Los actores de derechos humanos están acostumbrados a trabajar con el lado negativo de la ignorancia, que se manifiesta en la inobservancia de las normas de derechos humanos, la estrechez de miras de los prejuicios y la creencia en teorías de conspiración perniciosas.
The Gendered Effects of Local Immigration Enforcement: Latinas’ Social Isolation in Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, and Phoenix
Introduction Immigration enforcement and control have been long considered plenary powers of the US federal government, with state and local governments playing almost no role (Coutin, Richland, and Fortin, 2014).

Why the future of human rights must be hopeful
For a human rights movement dedicated to exposing abuses, positive communication does not come naturally. But to make the case for human rights, we need to promise a brighter future. For a human rights movement dedicated to exposing abuses, positive communication does not come naturally.
Instead of shrinking space, let’s talk about humanity’s shared future
To make the case for civil society, we have to talk less about the threats it faces and more about the values it stands for, how it contributes to society and show people how they can make change happen. Civil society is one of the great success stories of the 20th century. No wonder authoritarian populists around the world are so eager to attack not only its ability to function, but also its legitimacy among the general public.
