Introducing students a select group of significant monuments in world art and architecture and present the unique aesthetic, cultural and historical issues that frame them; presenting the main methods to analyze and interpret artworks produced in different media. A different time period and culture each week, as wide-ranging as 20th century Europe and America, Safavid Persia, Medieval Europe, Ancient Greece, etc. Social factors in the creation process of artworks, and how the specific cultural context of the artworks influences our reading and understanding of them.

An exploration of the aesthetic concepts of the 20th century musical composition and dance choreography, the arts of creating/organizing sounds and movements. Possible relationships-both diverging and converging-between these two disciplines when brought together on stage in traditional or contemporary inter-disciplinary artistic forms such as dance-musical, music-drama, opera, digital multi-media performance. Considering parallel developments in other artistic fields such as painting, sculpture and cinema. Testing and challenging the boundaries between sound and movement, as well as those investigating the tripartite relation between sound, movement and image. Critical discussions on Aesthetics, Modernity&Postmodernity, High&Low Art, Orientalism&Self-Orientalism, the nature of art and creativity, autonomy of artistic disciplines as well as blurring of boundaries.

Some of the many questions, concerns and misconceptions raised by the study of film through genre: What is genre? Are film genres a marketing tool, a by-product of journalism or a fundamental way of understanding and discussing motion pictures? Is there such a thing as a `genre film? or is no movie immune to genre criticism? What are the generic tropes associated with certain genres? Can a film belong to more than one genre? Does a film?s genre stay the same over time? Does a genre-based view expand or delimit our conception of a motion picture?

Offers a broad introduction to the growing corpus of literature on the body. Draws on novels, theatrical plays and films across a range of cultural locations and over a broad chronological span from the Renaissance to the present. Considers the ways in which bodily representations reflect social and political attitudes about class, race, gender, and sexuality, and how these attitudes change across different historical periods. Explores the politics of bodily representation in a historicist way and provides a basic introduction to key literary periods.

Exploring the innovation and creative processes through interdisciplinary work and research structures. Understanding design problems independent from their disciplinary boundaries. Gaining an integrative understanding of innovation based on human-centered design.

An introduction to the major composers, works and the aesthetic trends of the 20th century music and later. Developing new ways of listening by getting exposed to various examples of “new music”. Discussions on topics as aesthetics, modernity and postmodernity, dialectics of harmony and dissonance, noise and politics, open work, musical time, temporality and process etc. will be held along with assigned readings.

Many of the solid tumors contain significant amounts of stromal tissue. In extreme cases, such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, tumor stroma can be more abundant then the tumor tissue. It is becoming clear that this stromal tissue is not a bystander in disease initiation and progression. Cancer-stroma interactions effect tumorigenesis, angiogenesis, therapy resistance and possibly the metastatic spread of tumor cells. Therefore, targeting the tumor stroma, in combination with chemotherapy, is a promising new option for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. In this course, we will discuss in depth the following issues: 1) How can stromal activity be used to detect early steps of carcinogenesis? 2) What is the effect of perpetual extracellular tissue formation and deposition on angiogenesis and tissue perfusion? 3) How can stroma impact on therapy resistance? 4) What is the impact of stroma on metastatic spread of tumor cells? 5) Does tumor stroma also have functions to locally confine the tumor?

This course is designed to give an introduction to the key concepts of molecular biology and its applications commonly used in research laboratories. The emphasis will be on the analysis of DNA and RNA structure, DNA replication, biochemistry of transcription and translation. Basic methods of molecular biology such as DNA and RNA isolation, gel electrophoresis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing, Southern (DNA) blotting, Northern (RNA) blotting and Western blotting will be discussed. The basic principles of flow cytometry and its use will also be covered during this course.

Liver fibrosis is a progressive clinical condition accompanying chronic liver disease, which results from persisting liver injury. Liver fibrosis is characterised by accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins. This course is going to focus on mechanisms of hepatic inflammation and fibrosis.
