Die Neue Rechte in der Sozialen Arbeit in NRW: Exemplarische Analysen

Die Neue Rechte in der Sozialen Arbeit in NRW - exemplarische Analysen Soziale Arbeit ist eng mit gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen verbunden. Auch wenn Selbstverständnis und Positionierungen von Profession und Disziplin häufig den Anspruch erheben, neurechten Entwicklungen entgegen zu treten, können sie sich von den aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Verschiebungen in Richtung einer Normalisierung von rechtsnationalen Positionen nicht frei machen. Auf der Basis einer Fragebogenerhebung, einer Expert_innenbefragung und einer Dokumentenanalyse werden das Vorkommen, die Formen und die Strategien der Neuen Rechten in der Sozialen Arbeit in NRW untersucht. Dabei werden sowohl alle Regionen als auch alle Arbeitsbereiche der Sozialen Arbeit berücksichtigt und exemplarische Analysen zum Vorkommen vorgenommen. Auf der Basis der dadurch gewonnenen Daten können sowohl eigene Angebote als auch Einflussnahmen von außerhalb wie innerhalb etablierter Angebote Sozialer Arbeit durch extrem rechte Akteure ausgemacht werden. Dabei wird häufig an Themen angeknüpft, die Anschluss an ethnopluralistische und rassistische, antifeministische oder völkisch-nationale ideologische Narrative ermöglichen. Einfluss- und Landnahmeversuche finden sich in allen Regionen von NRW und vielen verschiedenen Arbeitsfeldern.The Far Right in Social Work of North-Rhine Westphalia - exemplary analyses Social Work is strongly interconnected with societal developments. Even though self-positioning of profession and discipline frequently claim to fight against racist or illiberal ideas in society, they cannot assert to be free of the current normalization of nationalistic and authoritarian positions. On the basis of a questionnaire survey, structured expert interviews and a document analysis, occurrence, forms and strategies of the far right in the social sector of North-Rhine Westphalia are examined. All the regions of that German federal state as well as different fields of social work are incorporated, on which exemplary analyses are realized. On that base, own “social” activities by the far right can be detected as well as exertions of influence from outside and inside of the established social work institutions. These activities often tie on topics which can be connected to ethno-pluralist, racist, anti-feminist or nationalistic narratives. Exertions of influence take place over all regions and fields of social work

Transfer of a chloroplast-bound precursor protein into the translocation apparatus is impaired after phospholipase C treatment

AbstractWe have studied the influence of phospholipase C treatment of intact purified chloroplast on the translocation of a plastid destined precursor protein. Under standard import conditions, i.e. in the light in the presence or 2 mM ATP translocation was completely abolished but binding was observed at slightly elevated levels. An experimental regime which allowed binding but not import of the precursor protein, i.e. in the dark in the presence of 10 μM ATP, demonstrated that translocation intermediates, normally detected at this stage, were missing in phospholipase treated chloroplasts. The precursor was completely sensitive to protease treatment, indicating that the transfer of the precursor from the receptor to the import apparatus was blocked by phospholipase treatment

Seven-up, the Drosophila homolog of the COUP-TF orphan receptors, controls cell proliferation in the insect kidney

Morphogenesis of the insect kidney, the Malpighian tubules, is controlled in Drosophila by a single large cell, the tip cell. It has been postulated that this cell sends out a mitogenic signal that induces the division of neighboring cells. The signal and the molecules that receive it have remained elusive. We show that the COUP-TF-related nuclear orphan receptor Seven-up is a key component that becomes induced in response to mitogenic EGF receptor signaling activity emanating from the tip cell. Seven-up in turn is capable of regulating the transcription of cell cycle regulators

A modifier screen in the eye reveals control genes for <i>Krüppel</i> activity in the <i>Drosophila</i> embryo

Irregular facets ( If ) is a dominant mutation of Drosophila that results in small eyes with fused ommatidia. Previous results showed that the gene Krüppel ( Kr ), which is best known for its early segmentation function, is expressed ectopically in If mutant eye discs. However, it was not known whether ectopic Kr activity is either the cause or the result of the If mutation. Here, we show that If is a gain-of-function allele of Kr . We then used the If mutation in a genetic screen to identify dominant enhancers and suppressors of Kr activity on the third chromosome. Of 30 identified Kr -interacting loci, two were cloned, and we examined whether they also represent components of a natural Kr -dependent developmental pathway of the embryo. We show that the two genes, eyelid ( eld ) and extramacrochaetae ( emc ), which encode a Bright family-type DNA binding protein and a helix-loop-helix factor, respectively, are necessary to achieve the singling-out of a unique Kr -expressing cell during the development of the Malpighian tubules, the excretory organs of the fly. The results indicate that the Kr gain-of-function mutation If provides a tool to identify genes that are active during eye development and that a number of them function also in the control of Kr -dependent developmental processes. </jats:p
