Foetidissimosides C—F, Novel Glycosides from the Roots of Cucurbita foetidissima.

2004

Two novel echinocystic acid (=(3β,16α)-3,16-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid) glycosides, foetidissimosides C (1), and D (2), along with new cucurbitane glycosides, i.e., foetidissimosides E/F (3/4) as an 1 : 1 mixture of the (24R)/(24S) epimers, were obtained from the roots of Cucurbita foetidissima. Their structures were elucidated by means of a combination of homo- and heteronuclear 2D-NMR techniques (COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, ROESY, HSQC, and HMBC), and by FAB-MS. The new compounds were characterized as (3β,16α)-28-{[O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(13)-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(14)-O-6-deoxy-α-L-mannopyranosyl-(12)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl]oxy}-16-hydroxy-28-oxoolean -12-en-3-yl β-D-glucopyranosiduronic acid (1…

Influence of time-of-day-specific same-session combined endurance and strength training on maximal and submaximal endurance parameters

2015

Endurance and strength training are often performed concurrently by both elite athletes and recreational individuals. The question of whether the order of exercises or training at certain daytimes yields to different adaptations in endurance and strength parameters, when endurance and strength training are combined into a single training session, has received limited scientific attention. Moreover, effects on cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular variables after same-session concurrent training have shown conflicting results, particularly regarding exercise sequence or time-of-day characteristics. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of time-of-day-specific same- session…

2017

Si esaminano rispettivamente le decisioni con cui le Sezioni Unite hanno ritenuto l’ammissibilità del ricorso proposto da un avvocato iscritto nell’albo speciale della Corte di cassazione, nominato quale sostituto dal difensore dell’imputato di fiducia o di ufficio non cassazionista. Hanno poi escluso, anche nei riti camerali, l'obbligo del difensore di indicare l'impossibilità di presenziare all'udienza nei casi di malattia imprevedibile. Infine, hanno chiarito i poteri del giudice dell'impugnazione e del giudice dell'esecuzione nei casi in caso di sentenza di condanna, relativa a un reato successivamente abrogato e qualificato come illecito civile, sottoposto a sanzione pecuniaria civile,…

Ecological risk assessment of pesticides in the Mijares River (eastern Spain) impacted by citrus production using wide-scope screening and target qua…

2021

The widespread use of pesticides, especially in agricultural areas, makes necessary to control their presence in surrounding surface waters. The current study was designed to investigate the occurrence and ecological risks of pesticides and their transformation products in a Mediterranean river basin impacted by citrus agricultural production. Nineteen sites were monitored in three campaigns distributed over three different seasons. After a qualitative screening, 24 compounds was selected for subsequent quantitative analysis. As expected, the lower section of the river was most contaminated, with total concentration >5 µg/L in two sites near to the discharge area of wastewater treatment pla…

Can cycling with an E-bike improve fitness? : effect of access to an Electric Assisted Bicycle on cycling distance and cardiopulmonary fitness in ina…

2016

Masteroppgave folkehelsevitenskap - Universitetet i Agder 2016 Background: The aims of the present study were to assess the effect of an eight-month intervention with access to an Electric assisted bicycle (E-bike) on (1) the amount of E-biking, (2) changes in cardiopulmonary fitness and (3) to assess whether cycled distance was associated with changes in cardiopulmonary fitness, among inactive adults. Methods: Twenty-five inactive Norwegian adults (33 – 57 years of age, 72 % women), were recruited through convenience sampling. Participants were given an E-bike for eight (N = 23) or three (N = 2) months. Socio-demographic characteristics were reported with a questionnaire. Bicycle use was m…

A Strategy for the Prediction of the Response of Hysteretic Systems: A Base for Capacity Assessment of Buildings under Seismic Load

2014

A statistical non linearization method is used to approximate systems modeled by the Bouc differential equa- tion and excited by a Gaussian white noise external load. To this aim restricted potential models (RPM) are used, which are suitable for an extended number of nonlinear problems as have been proved several times. Since the solution of RPM is known by the probabilistic point of view, all statistical characteristics can be derived at once with advantages by the computational point of view. Hence, this paper discusses the possibility to determine sets of parameters characterizing po- tential models that are valid for describing a hysteretic behavior. In this way the characterization of …

Imagining the other : orientalism and occidentalism in Tamil-European relations in South India

2006

Jouhki on tutkinut idän ja lännen problematiikkaa Edward Saidin (1935–2003) vuonna 1978 kirjoittaman teoksen Orientalism - Western Conceptions of the Other ja sitä seuranneen mittavan akateemisen keskustelun pohjalta. Jouhki on myös kerännyt kenttätyöaineistoa tamileiden ja eurooppalaisten suhteesta Etelä-Intiassa.Kirjassaan Edward Said hyökkäsi euroamerikkalaisen kulttuurin luutuneita käsityksiä vastaan ja väitti, että itää koskevaa diskurssia hallitsee yhä kolonialismin eurosentrinen perintö. Euroopan ulkopuolisiin kansoihin suhtaudutaan ennakkoluuloisesti ja polarisoivasti, ikään kuin idän ja lännen kansat olisivat toistensa vastakohtia. Kun länsi on yleensä rationaalisuuden, yksilöllisy…

Effects of exercise training on maximal oxygen uptake in heart failure : a systematic review and meta-analysis

2012

SUMMARY Aims. Low cardiorespiratory fitness is a common physical status among patients with heart failure. Several studies have examined the effects of exercise training on maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) in heart failure. Though, these studies had relatively small sample sizes and highly variable results. Therefore the aim of this study was to systemically review the effects of exercise training on VO2max in heart failure patients. Methods. Database search of randomized controlled trials was conducted from Ovid MEDLINE and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Search was allocated to studies with patients with heart failure, structured exercise intervention, control group receivin…
