Ceļojumu naratīvu lingvistiskā analīze
2021
Ceļojumu literatūra ir informatīva un izklaidējoša, tomēr pētnieki kā Lisle, Tompsons, Azaraija u.c. uzskata to arī par ideoloģiski piesātinātu. Pētījuma mērķis bija noteikt, vai izvēlētajam tekstuālajam materiālam no C. Tompsona ceļojumu memuāra ir ideoloģizēta teksta pazīmes. Empīriskā analīze tika veikta, balstoties uz piecām diskursīvām stratēģijām, kas ir nosaukšanas, apgalvošanas, argumentācijas, perspektivizācijas, pastiprināšanas vai mīkstināšanas stratēģijas, galveno uzmanību pievēršot tādam lingvistiskam materiālam kā lietvārdi, īpašības vārdi un darbības vārdi, kurus visbiežāk izmanto, lai ideoloģizētu stāstītās situācijas un notikumus. Pētījuma dati liecina, ka izmantotās lingvi…
Numerical expressions in everyday language
2016
This interesting volume was published by the Laterza in 2011 and is the product of fruitful collaboration between three internationally renowned scholars, each with different research perspectives. They are respectively Carla Bazzanella, who teaches General and Cognitive Linguistics at the University of Turin; Rosa Pugliese, who teaches Italian as a foreign language at the University of Bologna; Erdling Strudsholm, who teaches Italian linguistics at the University of Copenhagen.
The corticotrophin-releasing factor/urocortin system regulates white fat browning in mice through paracrine mechanisms.
2015
Objectives:\ud The corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF)/urocortin system is expressed in the adipose tissue of mammals, but its functional role in this tissue remains unknown.\ud \ud Methods:\ud Pharmacological manipulation of the activity of CRF receptors, CRF1 and CRF2, was performed in 3T3L1 white pre-adipocytes and T37i brown pre-adipocytes during in vitro differentiation. The expression of genes of the CRF/urocortin system and of markers of white and brown adipocytes was evaluated along with mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular oxygen consumption. Metabolic evaluation of corticosterone-deficient or supplemented Crhr1-null (Crhr1−/−) mice and their wild-type controls was performed alo…
Current caselaw discrepancies in the protection of national symbols and state representatives between the European Court of Human Rights and Spanish …
2021
Despite the general consensus about freedom of expression being a basic fundamental right on every democratic society, the debate about its boundaries has never found such a pacific agreement. Thus, the Spanish Penal Code has several articles that punish its abuse that are highly contested, like articles 490.3 and 543 that penalize the offenses directed towards national symbols or State representatives. This being so, this article examines the controversy generated by the application of this articles through the analysis of two judgements issued by the European Court of Human Rights against Spain, and a third one issued by the Spanish Constitutional Court that could follow the same path. Th…
Web crawling dla celów lingwistycznych. Wybrane aspekty gromadzenia i analizy danych tekstowych na przykładzie rosyjskojęzycznych newsów internetowych
2021
Autor niniejszego artykułu zgromadził ok. 2,7 mln rosyjskojęzycznych newsów internetowych. Zasadnicze cele tego tekstu stanowią: omówienie pojęcia web crawlingu w odniesieniu do pozyskiwania internetowych danych tekstowych, omówienie kwestii strukturyzacji takich danych w nieanotowanych korpusach tekstowych, a także przedstawienie wybranych aspektów analizy danych strukturyzowanych w ten sposób. Autor rozpatruje newsy internetowe jako połączenie tekstu zasadniczego oraz identyfikujących i charakteryzujących go metadanych (wyróżnionych podczas automatycznej ich ekscerpcji ze stron internetowych). Rozdział newsów na tekst zasadniczy i metadane stwarza możliwość przeprowadzenia ich analizy z d…
WRKY gene family drives dormancy release in onion bulbs
2022
Onion (Allium cepa L.) is an important bulb crop grown worldwide. Dormancy in bulbous plants is an important physiological state mainly regulated by a complex gene network that determines a stop of vegetative growth during unfavorable seasons. Limited knowledge on the molecular mechanisms that regulate dormancy in onion were available until now. Here, a comparison between uninfected and onion yellow dwarf virus (OYDV)-infected onion bulbs highlighted an altered dormancy in the virus-infected plants, causing several symptoms, such as leaf striping, growth reduction, early bulb sprouting and rooting, as well as a lower abscisic acid (ABA) level at the start of dormancy. Furthermore, by compar…
Las formas cotidianas de la felicidad y sus mandatos: Pedagogías del pensamiento positivo, trabajo docente y subjetividad en el neoliberalismo contem…
2020
Positive thinking constitutes one of the great traditions that lead to the idea of the subject as an entrepreneur of himself and is perhaps one of the best that has successfully condensed cultural, political, social and pedagogical processes linked to reflection on well-being in this historical time. The teaching work is especially moved by the pregnancy of these perspectives that challenge the pedagogical field and the education workers as ?agents of change, or at least one more school available to give the discussion on well-being and happiness (yours and the students?) is celebrated and encouraged. In this article, I intend to understand what is being built as pedagogical discourses abou…
Pro-apoptotic activity of the phytochemical Indicaxanthin on colorectal carcinoma cells (Caco-2) and epigenetic CpG demethylation of the promoter and…
2012
Phytochemicals play prominent roles in human diet and nutrition as protective redo-active substances in prevention of several disorders and chronic diseases in humans. Today, their function as potent modulators of the mammalian epigenome-regulated gene expression is rapidly emerging. In the present study antiproliferative effects of Indicaxanthin (Ind) from the fruits of Opuntia ficus-indica (1), and potential influence on DNA methylation has been investigated on Caco-2 cells, a human cell line of colorectal carcinoma. Ind caused a clear dose- and time-dependent decrease of the cell proliferation (IC(50) 50 M) associated to apoptosis as demonstrated by phosphatidylserine externalization an…

Influence of aryl hydrocarbon- (Ah) receptor and genotoxins on DNA repair gene expression and cell survival of mouse hepatoma cells
2009
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) mediates toxicity of a variety of environmental pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and dioxins. However, the underlying mechanisms and genetic programmes regulated by AhR to cause adverse effects but also to counteract poisoning are still poorly understood. Here we analysed the effects of two AhR ligands, benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), a DNA damaging tumour initiator and promotor and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), a pure tumour promoter, on cell survival and on nucleotide excision repair (NER) gene expression. NER deals with so called "bulky" DNA adducts including those generated by enzymatically activated B[a]P. Therefore, t…
