Physical fitness, hormonal, and immunological responses during prolonged military field training
2018
Physical fitness is crucial to warfighters’ performance in the battlefield. Previous studies have shown negative changes in their hormonal and neuromuscular responses induced by military field training (MFT). The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in hormonal and immunological values and body composition during a prolonged MFT and to find out how warfighters’ physical condition influences these changes. Conscripts (n = 49, age 20 1 years, height 179 9 cm, body mass 73.8 7.8 kg, fat 12.6 3.7% and BMI 23 kg/m²) were measured before, during, after MFT, and after a 4-day recovery period. Serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a), interleuk…
El plagio cinematográfico de Letty Lynton (1932) y su impacto en la industria fílmica estadounidense: análisis del proceso judicial y de su cobertura…
2016
Este artículo presenta un exhaustivo análisis del proceso judicial relativo al film Letty Lynton (1932), que, pese a ser un emblema del periodo clásico de Hollywood, fue prohibido en 1936, tras la denuncia de dos dramaturgos que acusaron a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer de haber plagiado una de sus obras. El pleito evidenció una complejidad en materia de infracción del copyright que la justicia estadounidense no había afrontado hasta el momento, entre otros motivos porque la cinta partía de unos hechos reales acontecidos durante el siglo XIX y la productora había adquirido los derechos de una novela que también los relataba. Los continuos recursos y resoluciones judiciales finalizaron, tras ochos años…
Using the Environmental Management System (EMS) to control the implementation and emergence the green strategies
2012
International audience; Over recent years, the Environmental Management System (EMS) has become one of the most recognized instruments for operationalizing the CSR concept in companies. The objective of this study is to analyze how this management system is used in companies when they implement the intended green strategies and explore the new green strategies. To achieve this objective, two theoretical frameworks are used: the new institutionalism in organizational analysis and the levers of control of business strategy. The research methodology is qualitative and is comprises of three phases: an exploratory study; a multi-sites case study; and a longitudinal study. The data are analyzed w…
Neuronal activity triggers uptake of hematopoietic extracellular vesicles in vivo
2019
Communication with the hematopoietic system is a vital component of regulating brain function in health and disease. Traditionally, the major routes considered for this neuroimmune communication are by individual molecules such as cytokines carried by blood, by neural transmission, or, in more severe pathologies, by the entry of peripheral immune cells into the brain. In addition, functional mRNA from peripheral blood can be directly transferred to neurons via extracellular vesicles (EVs), but the parameters that determine their uptake are unknown. Using varied animal models that stimulate neuronal activity by peripheral inflammation, optogenetics, and selective proteasome inhibition of dop…
Scenes of Liturgy and Perversion In Bunuel
2004
La religión estuvo siempre presente en la obra de Luis Buñuel, tanto bajo la forma de la burla como de la fe o la torsión, desde L'âge d'or hasta La voie lactée. El presente texto interroga la función de la liturgia, en cuanto 'comunidad en oración realizando actos rituales' en la obra de Buñuel, es decir, de qué modo el realizador introduce claves de la liturgia católica en sus obras cuya comprensión y deslices resultan fundamentales para la interpretación. The Christian religion is far from being an accidental component in Buñuel's work. All his films show complex transactions with its referents, oscillating between the popular ingenuity (la Ilusión viaja en tranvía), the boundless and hy…
Coincident airway exposure to low-potency allergen and cytomegalovirus sensitizes for allergic airway disease by viral activation of migratory dendri…
2019
Despite a broad cell-type tropism, cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an evidentially pulmonary pathogen. Predilection for the lungs is of medical relevance in immunocompromised recipients of hematopoietic cell transplantation, in whom interstitial CMV pneumonia is a frequent and, if left untreated, fatal clinical manifestation of human CMV infection. A conceivable contribution of CMV to airway diseases of other etiology is an issue that so far attracted little medical attention. As the route of primary CMV infection upon host-to-host transmission in early childhood involves airway mucosa, coincidence of CMV airway infection and exposure to airborne environmental antigens is almost unavoidable. For i…
Veien til Kommunal øyeblikkelig hjelp i kommunene Vennesla og Iveland : i hvor stor grad har partnerskapet rundt Kommunal øyeblikkelig hjelp i Vennes…
2013
Masteroppgave i offentlig politikk og ledelse - Universitetet i Agder 2013 Tema for min masteroppgave er hvordan kommunene Vennesla og Iveland gjennomførte implementeringen av Kommunal øyeblikkelig hjelp som en del av Samhandlingsreformen, både internt og i møte med Sykehus Sørlandet HF. Oppgaven er gjort som en deskriptiv og induktiv casestudie. Valg av kommuner ble gjort på bakgrunn av deres posisjon som de første kommunene som startet opp tilbudet i Agder-fylkene. Undersøkelsen for denne oppgaven baserer seg på 8 kvalitative og semistrukturerte intervjuer gjennomført våren 2012, samt deltakende observasjon gjennom flere møter i MFG, RS-utvalg og i prosjektmøter i Vennesla i perioden høst…
Eksurbanitet : å bo på landet og leve i byen
2010
Masteroppgave offentlig politikk og ledelse- Universitetet i Agder 2010 To forhold regnes som de viktigste faktorene som bestemmer bosettingsmønsteret: hvor produksjonsaktivitetene foregår (da i hovedsak bedrifter med en viss grad av naturlig bestemt beliggenhet) og hvor folk ønsker å bo. Det første har vært viktigst i historisk sammenheng, helt opp til moderne tid. I dag har dette endret seg, da primærnæringer ikke lenger er dominerende og de fleste andre bransjer nyter større frihet i hvor de kan lokalisere seg. Dessuten har det skjedd store endringer i mulighetene for transport av både mennesker og varer. Dette har også endret mulighetene for å få oppfylt preferanser om ønsket bosted, sa…
A functional analysis of ACP-20, an adult-specific cuticular protein gene from the beetle Tenebrio. Role of an intronic sequence in transcriptional a…
2004
0962-1075 (Print) Comparative Study Journal Article Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't; A gene encoding the adult cuticular protein ACP-20 was isolated in Tenebrio. It consists of three exons interspersed by two introns, intron 1 interrupting the signal peptide. To understand the regulatory mechanisms of ACP-20 expression, ACP-20 promoter-luciferase reporter gene constructs were transfected into cultured pharate adult wing epidermis. Transfection assays needed the presence of 20-hydroxyecdysone, confirming that ACP-20 is up-regulated by ecdysteroids. Analysis of 5' deletion constructs revealed that three regions are necessary for high levels of transcription. Interaction experiments between i…
The Inflammatory Response in Acyl-CoA Oxidase 1 Deficiency (Pseudoneonatal Adrenoleukodystrophy)
2012
Among several peroxisomal neurodegenerative disorders, the pseudoneonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (P-NALD) is characterized by the acyl-coenzyme A oxidase 1 (ACOX1) deficiency, which leads to the accumulation of very-long-chain fatty acids ( VLCFA) and inflammatory demyelination. However, the components of this inflammatory process in P-NALD remain elusive. In this study, we used transcriptomic profiling and PCR array analyses to explore inflammatory gene expression in patient fibroblasts. Our results show the activation of IL-1 inflammatory pathway accompanied by the increased secretion of two IL-1 target genes, IL-6 and IL-8 cytokines. Human fibroblasts exposed to very-long-chain fatty acids…
