Pulsed flow-through cultivation of Margaritifera margaritifera : effects of water source and food quantity on the survival and growth of juveniles

2020

AbstractConservation of the endangered freshwater pearl mussel (FPM) includes artificially rearing juveniles, but the pulsed flow-through (PFT) method, enabling the continuous renewal of water and food in culture containers, has not been applied to FPM. This study tested the PFT method in culture of FPM juveniles, and the effect of water source (tap vs well water) and food concentration (mixture of commercial phytoplankton products) on the survival and growth of juveniles. Beaker-specific survival rates varied from 0 to 100% (mean: 34%) and from 0 to 58% (mean: 16%) in the 1st (2-week) and 2nd (10-week) experiment, respectively. In the 1st experiment, juveniles attained statistically signif…

Experimental Evolution Reveals a Genetic Basis for Membrane-Associated Virus Release

2021

Many animal viruses replicate and are released from cells in close association to membranes. However, whether this is a passive process or is controlled by the virus remains poorly understood. Importantly, the genetic basis and evolvability of membrane-associated viral shedding have not been investigated. To address this, we performed a directed evolution experiment using coxsackievirus B3, a model enterovirus, in which we repeatedly selected the free-virion or the fast-sedimenting membrane-associated viral subpopulations. The virus responded to this selection regime by reproducibly fixing a series of mutations that altered the extent of membrane-associated viral shedding, as revealed by fu…

Synthesis of nanostructured protein–mineral-microcapsules by sonication

2022

We propose a simple and eco-friendly method for the formation of composite protein–mineral-microcapsules induced by ultrasound treatment. Protein- and nanoparticle-stabilized oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions loaded with different oils are prepared using high-intensity ultrasound. The formation of thin composite mineral proteinaceous shells is realized with various types of nanoparticles, which are pre-modified with Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) and subsequently characterized by EDX, TGA, zeta potential measurements and Raman spectroscopy. Cryo-SEM and EDX mapping visualizations show the homogeneous distribution of the densely packed nanoparticles in the capsule shell. In contrast to the results re…

Características de la práctica físico-deportiva del alumnado con discapacidad de la Universitat de València

2015

En la actualidad, la actividad físico-deportiva es fundamental para las personas con discapacidad debido a los múltiples beneficios físicos, psicológicos y sociales que aporta (Patel y Greydanus, 2010; Slater y Meade, 2004). Estudiar las características de la práctica físico-deportiva de este colectivo puede ser útil para poder desarrollar estrategias y programas que mejoren y aumenten dicha práctica (Bragaru,van Wilgen, Geertzen, Ruijs, Dijsktra y Dekker, 2013). Pese a ello, apenas existen estudios de carácter cuantitativo sobre el tema. De acuerdo con las carencias señaladas, el objetivo de este trabajo es identificar la cuantía de la práctica físico-deportiva del alumnado con discapacida…

The impact of regional demographics on Higher Education Policy. An example from Silesia, Poland

2021

Abstract The determinants of higher education policy have their sources in various spheres, such as economic, social, educational, national policy, administrative, and demographic. Problems for the development of higher education also stem from these spheres. One of them is the challenging demographic situation that is a significant element of developing higher education in southern Poland (particuarly in the Silesia region). Given this context, this article aims to indicate the policies of the universities in the region which respond to the existing demographic threats. This relationship is to confront student opinions regarding their vision for their education and future career within the…

Nyelvi tájkép kisebbségben és többségben: egy új kutatási területröl (Minority and Majority Linguistic Landscape: A New Field of Research)

2013

Bevezető. Tanulmányunkban egy olyan kutatási területet szeretnénk bemutatni, amely az elmúlt évtizedekben egyre nagyobb szerepet kezd játszani a nyelvhasználat és a kultúra vizsgálatában. A társadalom sokszínűségét, a személyközi viszonyokat, a politikai ideológiákat és a nyelvhasználatot egységben láttató nyelvi tájkép-koncepció nem a véletlennek köszönheti egyre növekvő népszerűségét. Olyan megközelítésről van szó, amely egyaránt merít a szociolingvisztika, a szemiotika, a folklorisztika, a történettudomány, a jogtudomány, a földrajztudomány vagy éppen a történeti névtan eredményeiből.

Real-world experience with obeticholic acid in patients with primary biliary cholangitis

2021

Background & aims Obeticholic acid (OCA) is the second-line treatment approved for patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and an inadequate response or intolerance to ursodeoxycholic acid. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of OCA under real-world conditions. Methods Patients were recruited into the Italian PBC Registry, a multicentre, observational cohort study that monitors patients with PBC at national level. The primary endpoint was the biochemical response according to Poise criteria; the secondary endpoint was the biochemical response according to normal range criteria, defined as normal levels of bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and alanine aminotransfer…

Strategy to re-active an urban landscape

2018

To re-activate an urban landscape, through a complex system of relationships, needs a goal: trigger a course of identification based on cultural heritage like an “ID card”. To do this, without losing the historical common memory, culture doesn’t have to be only for the “elite” but has to begin the raw nerve of the development. When Kevin Lynch wrote about wayfinding, it was not for tourists but for inhabitants whom daily live in that place: the field of “orientation” was essential for him like it was for Camillo Sitte. This theorist of urban planning (not fully understood) said that “the space and the city are important if they are active” and Wieczorek explains that “active” means the rule…
