Diet and environmental factors affecting reproduction
2021
Abstract Diet and exposure to certain chemical compounds related to industrial development could be responsible for the increase in the incidence of human reproductive diseases and the consequent decrease in reproductive function worldwide. The role of diet and environment in fertility has received more attention in recent years because nutrition and exposure to contaminants can affect fecundity in women of reproductive age. Here, we review how diet could affect reproduction. Furthermore, we will review how the most ubiquitous contaminants could disrupt endometrial receptivity and implantation, focusing also on clinical studies performed in the last years.
Heritability of Lifetime Income
2013
Using 15 years of data on Finnish twins, we find that 24% (54%) of the variance of women’s (men’s) lifetime income is due to genetic factors and that the contribution of the shared environment is negligible. We link these figures to policy by showing that controlling for education reduces the variance share of genetics by 5-8 percentage points; by demonstrating that income uncertainty has a genetic component half the size of its variance share in lifetime income; and by exploring how the genetic heritability of lifetime income is related to the macroeconomic environment, as measured by GDP growth and the Gini-coefficient of income inequality.
Association of liver steatosis with lipid oversecretion and hypotriglyceridaemia in C57BL/6j mice fed trans-10, cis-12-linoleic acid
2003
AbstractConjugated linoleic acids (CLA) have recently been recognized to reduce body fat and plasma lipids in some animals. This study demonstrated that the steatosis accompanying the fat loss induced by trans-10,cis-12-C18:2 (CLA2) and not cis-9,trans-11-C18:2 (CLA1) isomer in C57BL/6j mice was not due to an alteration of the liver lipoprotein production that was even increased. The 3-fold decrease in plasma triacylglycerol contents and the induction of mRNA expression of low-density lipoprotein receptors concomitantly observed in CLA2-fed mice suggested an increase in the lipoprotein clearance at the level of the liver itself. CLA1 feeding produced similar but attenuated effects on trigly…
Speech practices that facilitate patient participation in health counselling - A way to empowerment?
2003
Objective This study described nurse-patient communication during health counselling and focused on the linguistic realisations of empowering speech practices that emphasised patient participation. It aimed at a description of nurses' speech practices that facilitated the inclusion of patients' perspectives and preferences and encouraged patients to express themselves. Design and setting Thirty-eight videotaped nurse-patient health- counselling sessions that were conducted in a hospital were transcribed verbatim. Method The analysis of the videotaped data was based on the adaptation of Conversation Analysis (CA) and was carried out on a turn-by-turn basis. Results The research material rev…
Comparing the Impact of the Net Income Versus the Comprehensive Income Over the Share Price for Companies Listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange
2020
Abstract As a consequence of adopting the IFRS in Romania, starting with 2012, for companies whose securities are admitted for trading on a regulated market, financial reporting demarches include ascertaining the comprehensive income in addition to the net income. The present paper aims at investigating how the share price evolves considering the level of the comprehensive income as compared to the reported net income, in a multiannual empirical study implying panel data analysis through Pooled OLS, Fixed Effects and Random Effects models processed through EViews. Furthermore, the informational and decisional utility of the two main forms of disclosed accounting results (the net income and …
Use of contrastive syllabic information in L1-L2map for Spanish pronunciation teaching
2018
En la adquisición del sistema fónico de una segunda lengua (L2) al aprendiz no le basta con familiarizarse con los nuevos sonidos nuevos de la L2, sino que debe interiorizar las pautas distribucionales de los segmentos y las restricciones silábicas propias de la L2. El objetivo de este trabajo es, por un lado, reflexionar sobre los factores lingüísticos y contrastivos que pueden influir en la adquisición de las restricciones silábicas del español como lengua extranjera y, por otro lado, presentar las nuevas funciones de la base de datos multilingüe L1-L2map que permiten, precisamente, realizar análisis contrastivos de la estructura silábica de una lengua nativa (L1) y una L2. A lo largo del…
Eight-Membered Rings With Two Heteroatoms 1,2
2022
The chapter titled “Eight-membered Rings with two Heteroatoms 1,2” deals with heterocine rings with two heteroatoms in a 1,2 relationship, namely 1,2-diazocine, 2H-1,2-oxazocine, 2H-1,2-thiazocine, 1,2-dioxocin, 1,2-oxathiocin and 1,2-dithiocin. This article covers the literature from 2007 to 2019 and reports the chemistry of uncondensed derivatives, heterocines fused to carbocycles and heterocycles, as well as bridged heterocines. As usual, in the case that a particular section is not mentioned, it means that no chemistry has been reported. In this article, the “Biosynthesis” paragraph was additionally introduced, since in the latest years the contribution of Nature to the synthesis of dih…
Eight-membered heterocycles with two heteroatoms in a 1,5-relationship of interest in medicinal chemistry
2020
Abstract This review deals with 1,5-diheterocines that exhibited biological properties and covers comprehensively the literature from 2007 to the end of February 2019. Among the six possible heterocyclic systems belonging to the eight-membered rings with two heteroatoms, N, O, and S, five had derivatives showing pharmacological activities: 1,5-diazocines, 1,5-oxazocines, 1,5-thiazocines, 1,5-dioxocins, and 1,5-dithiocins. Instead, literature reported no articles dealing with 1,5-oxathiocins of interest in medicinal chemistry. In addition to uncondensed derivatives, 1,5-diheterocines fused to five- and six-membered carbocycles or heterocycles are covered. Bridged 1,5-diheterocines are covere…
Pirmā tipa cukura diabēts un tā sarežģījumi grūtniecības laikā
2018
Grūtniecība 1.tipa CD pacientēm var noritēt veiksmīgi, ja glikozes līmenis asinīs ir tuvu normas robežai gan plānojot grūtniecību, gan tās laikā. Tādēļ ir svarīgi izprast glikozes metabolisma izmaiņas grūtniecības laikā un to ietekmi uz augļa un mātes veselību, samazinot komplikāciju risku grūtniecības laikā. Pētījuma mērķis bija analizēt ar 1.tipa CD saistītos sarežģījumus grūtniecēm un viņu jaundzimušajiem. Pētījuma uzdevumi bija izpētīt CD apmācības un HbA1c līmeņa saistību ar grūtniecības iznākumu, kā arī izpētīt iespējamos ar metabolo kompensāciju saistītos sarežģījumus katrā grūtniecības trimestrī un pēcdzemdību periodā un noskaidrot grūtnieces svara ietekmi uz grūtniecības iznākumu. …
Il caracol quadrato in Sicilia (XVI secolo)
2022
Square spiral staircases appear in Sicily during the 16th century in different contexts and for different purposes. This contribution focuses on two case studies at the “opposite poles” of a casuistry that shares the common characteristics of suspended ramps revolving within a square masonry box around a central void. By analysing these cases we find a probable link with models from Spain. At the same time, they demonstrate a common descent from a constructive culture rooted in the Spanish and Mediterranean stereotomic experience of the early modern age.
