Zelta un naudas mītiskie un sociālpsiholoģiskie aspekti A. Upīša romānos līdz 1914. gadam

2015

Bakalaura darba „Zelta un naudas mītiskie un sociālpsiholoģiskie aspekti A. Upīša romānos līdz 1914. gadam” izpētes objekts ir zelta un naudas ietekmju funkcionēšanas veidi romānu — „Jauni avoti”, „Sieviete”, „Zīda tīklā” un „Zelts” varoņu apziņā. Pētījumā iezīmēta naudas/zelta motīva aktualitāte literārajos darbos gan Eiropas, gan latviešu literatūrā līdz 20. gs. Ar zelta tēlu A. Upīts tiecas atklāt tā negatīvās izpausmes sociālajā vidē, uzsverot to neizbēgamību kapitālistiskajā sabiedrībā. Darbā tiek akcentēts, ka zeltam tāpat kā latviešu folklorā, arī romānos tiek piešķirta sakrāla vērtība, turklāt bagātība kapitālistiskajā sabiedrībā tiek attēlota kā augstākā sasniedzamā pakāpe.

The relationship between animal cruelty in children and adolescent and interpersonal violence: A systematic review

2019

Abstract The following study is a systematic review of the relationship between animal cruelty and interpersonal violence. The systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines and combined with the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, enabled us to locate 32 studies published between 1995 and July 2017. Overall, the results show that episodes of animal cruelty during childhood and adolescence tend to co-occur alongside other forms of violent and antisocial behaviors. Cruelty to animals was associated with bullying, behavioral problems, experiences of abuse (emotional, physical and sexual), and juvenile delinquency. Furthermore, recurrent animal cruelty during childhood a…

Glycogen synthase 2 is a novel target gene of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors.

2007

International audience; Glycogen synthase 2 (Gys-2) is the ratelimiting enzyme in the storage of glycogen in liver and adipose tissue, yet little is known about regulation of Gys-2 transcription. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are transcription factors involved in the regulation of lipid and glucose metabolism and might be hypothesized to govern glycogen synthesis as well. Here, we show that Gys-2 is a direct target gene of PPARalpha, PPARbeta/delta and PPARgamma. Expression of Gys-2 is significantly reduced in adipose tissue of PPARalpha-/-, PPARbeta/delta-/- and PPARgamma+/- mice. Furthermore, synthetic PPARbeta/delta, and gamma agonists markedly up-regulate Gys-2…

Granulysin‐Dependent Killing of Intracellular and ExtracellularMycobacterium tuberculosisby Vγ9/Vδ2 T Lymphocytes

2001

Contribution of Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T lymphocytes to immune protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis is still a matter of debate. It was reported earlier that Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T lymphocytes kill macrophages harboring live M. tuberculosis through a granule-dependent mechanism that results in killing of intracellular bacilli. This study found that Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T lymphocytes reduce the viability of both extracellular and intracellular M. tuberculosis. Granulysin and perforin, both detected in Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T lymphocytes, play a major role, which indicates that Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T lymphocytes directly contribute to a protective host response against M. tuberculosis infection.

Selective depression of interferon-γ and granulysin production with increase of proliferative response by Vγ9/Vδ2 T cells in children with tuberculos…

2002

Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T cells can contribute to protective immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, although the extent to which and mechanisms by which they could actually protect against human tuberculosis remain unclear. We have previously reported that Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T cells from tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD)-positive children, either healthy or affected by different clinical forms of tuberculosis, strongly proliferate to different phosphoantigens in vitro, whereas Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T cells from PPD-negative healthy subjects proliferate very poorly. We report here that Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T cells from tuberculous children have an increased proliferative activity, but decr…

Studies on antimony trifluoride in thiocyanate salt matrices. Evidence for the formation of fluoro-thiocyanato anti-mony(III) species

1990

Abstract Antimony trifluoride can be dissolved in fused KNCS or NH4NCS giving yellow-orange solutions which are stable only for a short time just above their melting point. Infrared an Mossbauer results on solidified samples reveal the formation of mixed fluoro-thiocyanato antimony(III) species and indicate a different behaviour in the two matrices.

Almond (Prunus dulcis cv. Casteltermini) Skin Confectionery By-Products: New Opportunity for the Development of a Functional Blackberry (Rubus ulmifo…

2021

This work proposes for the first time a model for reusing almond (Prunus dulcis cv. Casteltermini from Sicily, Southern Italy) skin to formulate a new functional blackberry (Rubus ulmifolius Schott) jam. For this purpose, blackberries were analysed fresh and as jam, traditionally prepared with a minimum fruit amount of 80%. Different percentages of almond skin (20, 15, and 10% w/w) were added to jam. The phytochemical profile of enriched jam was investigated by LC-ESI/LTQOrbitrap/MS analyses. Anthocyanins, hydrolysable tannins, and triterpenoids were identified in a blackberry extract, while proanthocyanidins, flavonoids, and oxylipins were identified in an almond extract. The n-hexane extr…

Closure properties for integral problems driven by regulated functions via convergence results

2018

Abstract In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence of Kurzweil–Stieltjes integrals with respect to regulated functions, using the notion of asymptotical equiintegrability. One thus generalizes several well-known convergence theorems. As applications, we provide existence and closure results for integral problems driven by regulated functions, both in single- and set-valued cases. In the particular setting of bounded variation functions driving the equations, we get features of the solution set of measure integrals problems.
