Cetacean Morbillivirus: Current Knowledge and Future Directions
2014
We review the molecular and epidemiological characteristics of cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) and the diagnosis and pathogenesis of associated disease, with six different strains detected in cetaceans worldwide. CeMV has caused epidemics with high mortality in odontocetes in Europe, the USAand Australia. It represents a distinct species within the Morbillivirusgenus. Although most CeMV strains are phylogenetically closely related, recent data indicate that morbilliviruses recovered from Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus), from Western Australia, and a Guiana dolphin (Sotalia guianensis), from Brazil, are divergent. The signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM) cell rec…
La divulgación de la información sobre Responsabilidad Social en las Entidades Públicas
2019
En los últimos años el estudio de los impactos sociales y medioambientales de las entidades públicas ha ido adquiriendo relevancia, debido a la necesidad de adoptar prácticas sostenibles en el siglo XXI (Guthrie, Ball, & Farneti, 2010) y avanzar en los temas de Desarrollo Sostenible (DS), involucrando para ello a diferentes actores sociales, como las entidades gubernamentales, el sector privado y la sociedad civil. Es destacable la escasa investigación de la divulgación de información de Responsabilidad Social en el sector público y en particular la relativa a Latinoamérica, pero resulta importante abordar decididamente esta cuestión, para contribuir a que las instituciones de la región ava…
Running against time: conservation of the remaining hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) nesting population in the Dominican Republic
2012
Saona Island hosts the last hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) nesting population in the Dominican Republic, which has experienced a severe decline in the last decades, mostly due to illegal egg take. Here we present the results of an artificial incubation programme started in 2007 to protect the clutches from human predation. A preliminary survey in 2006 showed that about 60% of clutches laid were taken by humans. Over the study period (2007–2010) we recorded 400 clutches, of which 38.2% were predated by humans, 40.7% were artificially incubated and 21% were incubated in situ. Overall, the artificial incubation programme allowed the release of 12,340 hatchlings. No differences were …
Demo 162. Ilustración de la fuerza de Lorentz con una bombilla de filamento de carbono
2021
Se presenta una demostración de aula que muestra que el filamento de carbono de la bombilla vibra cuando circula corriente AC y se le aproxima un imán. Esto demuestra que un elemento de corriente eléctrica es una fuente del campo magnético y sirve de ilustración de la fuerza de Lorentz. A classroom demonstration is presented showing that the carbon filament in the light bulb vibrates when AC current flows and is approached by a magnet. This phenomenon shows that an element of electric current is a source of the magnetic field and illustrates the Lorentz force.
Efecto del entrenamiento de fuerza explosiva sobre las características básicas y específicas de la fuerza en jugadoras de voleibol
2012
La investigación sobre el efecto del entrenamiento de fuerza explosiva sobre las características básicas y específicas de la fuerza explosiva, se ha realizado con 40 jugadoras de voleibol divididas en tres grupos: Un grupo específico formado por 12 jugadoras de elite que ha sido sometido al proceso de entrenamiento específico con objetivo de desarrollar la fuerza explosiva de los extensores de espalda, los extensores de piernas y los extensores de tobillos. Un segundo grupo clásico formado por 11 jugadoras de voleibol que han realizado entrenamiento clásico sin impacto en la fuerza explosiva. Y un tercer grupo control formado por 20 mujeres sanas, no entrenadas y con buena condición física.…

Krīzes komunikācijas ietekme uz uzņēmuma reputāciju - "Mobilly" gadījuma izpēte
2016
Ņemot vērā pieaugušos riskus korporatīvajā vidē, pieprasījums pēc krīzes komunikācijas aizvien pieaug. Maģistra darba centrā ir SIA "Mobilly" krīze un krīzes komunikācija. Tiek pētīta krīzes ietekme uz uzņēmuma reputāciju un tās atkarība no krīzes komunikācijas efektivitātes. Par spīti pārliecībai, ka krīze nes potenciāli negatīvas sekas, tiek pierādīts - krīze sniedz ne vien izaicinājumus, bet arī iespējas, kuras izmantojot, uzņēmums var saglābāt reputāciju un stabilizēt savas pozīcijas. Darbā ir pielietota gadījuma izpēte, kuras centrā ir trīs aspekti - uzņēmuma iekšējā vide, mediji un sabiedrības viedoklis. Pētījuma rezultāti parādīja, ka uzņēmuma realizēta krīzes komunikācijas stratēģij…
EndothelinA receptor antagonist BSF-208075 causes immune modulation and neuroprotection after stroke in gerbils.
2005
Leukocytes contribute to the ischemia-reperfusion injury. Recent studies suggested endothelins could be important mediators for leukocyte activation in stroke. We tested if the endothelinA receptor antagonist BSF-208075 (ambrisentan) could reduce an ischemic lesion by modulation of leukocyte-endothelium interactions. Twenty-four gerbils underwent either a sham operation (n=6) or 15 min of bilateral carotid artery occlusion resulting in global cerebral ischemia. Ischemic animals received normal saline (n=6), 5 mg/kg BSF-208075 (n=6) or 30 mg/kg (n=6) administered intravenously at 10 min of reperfusion. Leukocytes rolling or adhering to endothelium were counted by intravital microscopy in par…
Cerebral protection against ischemia by locomotor activity in gerbils. Underlying mechanisms.
1995
Background and Purpose A previous communication of this laboratory demonstrated reduced mortality and neuronal damage by spontaneous locomotor activity preceding forebrain ischemia in Mongolian gerbils. The present experiments seek to elucidate potential mechanisms of protection by measurement of cerebral blood flow, cerebral tissue conductance as an indicator of ischemic cell swelling, and the cerebral release of eicosanoids. Methods Gerbils were maintained either in conventional cages (nonrunners) or with free access to running wheels (runners) for 2 weeks preceding 15 minutes of forebrain ischemia. During ischemia and 2.5 hours of reperfusion, cerebral tissue conductance was determined …
