Background: Biochemical characterization of voltage-dependent anion channel 2 is limited due to an inability to obtain functional protein. Results: The crystal structure ofVDAC2suggests a dimer interface that is confirmed by double electron-electron resonance and cross-linking. Conclusion: zfVDAC2 has a fractional dimeric population. Significance: VDAC isoforms are structurally similar, but this study has identified a number of hot spots that require further exploration. © 2014 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.

The authors describe the intensity and orientation of the corporate social responsibility reporting in four Spanish industries and explore the relationship that exists between both concepts and an independent measurement of reputation for CSR. The results demonstrate that the CSR reporting is especially relevant and useful in the finance industry. Finance companies report significantly more CSR information than most industries in Spain, and this reporting is more closely linked to their CSRR than the CSR reporting of basic, consumer goods and services industries.

The condition to understand Arendt's proposal of "revolutionary tradition" is its lack of causal explanation of revolutions, derived in turn from the conviction that freedom is not sufficient cause and it cannot deducted from external events. If tradition is linked to the history, the idea above leads to the question of how the revolution appears if evolutionism and world history are rejected. Arendt opted for a "less persuasive historical development" consideration, leaving a lot of suggestive loose ends, but also, creating misunderstandings. There are three drifts of "revolutionary tradition", the French revolution, the American Revolution and the councils. From a critical history of philosophical ideas, we surveyed first misunderstandings generated interpretations of Arendt's thinking about the French and American revolutions; second we confront freedom and happiness in France and America and the danger of the predominance of private interests; thirdly we see that councils have a break from the previous two drifts, particularly in the area of public happiness. Although we present a conclusion, we left the debate in a situation of not closing, as did Arendt herself.
