Detection of natural killer T cells in mice infected with Rickettsia conorii.
2013
Little information is available regarding the role of natural killer T (NKT) cells during the early stage of Rickettsia conorii infection. Herein, C3H/HeN mice were infected with the Malish 7 strain of R. conorii. Splenocytes from these mice were analysed in the early stage of the infection by flow cytometry and compared with uninfected controls. Our results showed an increase in NKT cells in infected mice. Additionally, NKT interleukin (IL)-17(+) cells increased three days after infection, together with a concurrent decrease in the relative amount of NKT interferon (IFN)-γ(+) cells. We also confirmed a higher amount of NK IFN-γ(+) cells in infected mice. Taken together, our data showed tha…
Epideiktiskā rētorika romiešu biogrāfiskās prozas tekstā: Svetonija “Divpadsmit valdnieku dzīves”
2017
Bakalaura darbā tiek pētīta epideiktiskā rētorika romiešu biogrāfiskās prozas tekstā: Svetonija Divpadsmit valdnieku dzīves (De vita Caesarum). Darba galvenais mērķis ir, pamatojoties uz antīko rētorikas teoriju, īpaši uz romiešu teorētiķu darbiem, noskaidrot epideiktiskās rētorikas pamatprincipu pielietojumu Svetonija rakstītajās valdnieku biogrāfijās. Pirmkārt, darba gaitā tiek izpētīti autoru darbi, kas ietver antīkās rētorikas teorijas iztirzājumu, lai noskaidrotu galvenās rētorikas pamatnostādnes. Otrkārt, tiek padziļināti izpētīts epideiktiskās rētorikas jēdziens. Treškārt, tiek izpētīti epideiktiskās rētorikas divi nozīmīgi aspekti, kas ir slavinājums un nopēlums. Tiek sniegts arī ne…

Combined effect of low-molecular-weight organic acids and creosote on phosphatase activities in sandy soil
2018
This paper assesses the impact of creosote and low-molecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs) on the activity of acid phosphomonoesterase, alkaline phosphomonoesterase, phosphotriesterase, and inorganic pyrophosphatase in soil. The experiment was carried out on loamy sand samples with organic carbon content of 8.71 g · kg -1 , with the following variable factors: dosages of creosote: 0, 0.5%, and 2.5%; type of LMWOAs: oxalic acid, tartaric acid, and citric acid in the amount of 50 mmol · kg -1 of soil; days of experiment: 1, 7, 14, 28, 56, 112. Obtained results showed that contamination with creosote caused decrease in the activity of soil phosphatases. The observed effect did not always incre…
Towards a framework for assessment and management of cumulative human impacts on marine food webs
2015
Effective ecosystem-based management requires understanding ecosystem responses to multiple human threats, rather than focusing on single threats. To understand ecosystem responses to anthropogenic threats holistically, it is necessary to know how threats affect different components within ecosystems and ultimately alter ecosystem functioning. We used a case study of a Mediterranean seagrass (Posidonia oceanica) food web and expert knowledge elicitation in an application of the initial steps of a framework for assessment of cumulative human impacts on food webs. We produced a conceptual seagrass food web model, determined the main trophic relationships, identified the main threats to the fo…
Revisiting the cross‐sectional and prospective association of physical activity with body composition and physical fitness in preschoolers: A composi…
2022
Background Information is limited for the benefits of physical activity (PA) in preschoolers. Previous research using accelerometer-assessed PA may be affected for multicollinearity issues. Objectives This study investigated the cross-sectional and prospective associations of sedentary behaviour (SB) and PA with body composition and physical fitness using compositional data analysis. Methods Baseline PA and SB were collected in 4-year-old (n = 315) using wrist-worn GT3X+ during seven 24 h-periods. Body composition (air-displacement plethysmography) and physical fitness (PREFIT test battery) were assessed at baseline and at the 12-month follow-up. Results Increasing vigorous PA at expenses o…

2018
In this paper the results on three simple flumes for flow measurements are discussed.
Enigma, suspense, dilemma. Valori e modalità di lettura del giorno della civetta
2020
The paper presents a close reading of The Day of the Owl originating f rom the perspective of semiotic literary theory. It is possible to observe three strategies in the text: enigma, suspense, and dilemma. Whereas the first two cover the unmasking of the truth – following the tradition in crime novels –, the third strategy is particular to the Sciascian contextual crime novel, focused on the semantic instability of values that are the foundation of the social contract. From this starting point, this essay seeks to show that the ‘first novel on Mafia’ is also the first novel that tackles the issue of the Anti-Mafia.
Le Vetrine, luogo della città.
2003
Durante le nostre passeggiate in giro per la città, non possiamo fare a meno di curiosare tra le merci esposte in vetrina. Anche se abbiamo già l’armadio pieno di vestiti ed abbiamo appena comprato l’ultimo modello di videocamera, siamo sempre stuzzicati dall’idea di passeggiare per la città e lasciarci conquistare dalla varietà e dalle lusinghe della strada e delle sue vetrine. Ma cosa hanno di tanto speciale le vetrine? Perché non riusciamo a non subirne il fascino? Cosa è che ci attrae di esse? L’analisi qui proposta tenta di rispondere proprio a queste domande, tentando di mettere ordine nell’intricata gamma di significati che le costituiscono come oggetti sociali.
Vetrinizzazione vs. Devetrinizzazione
2008
L'articolo prende posizione intorno al concetto di “Vetrinizzazione Sociale” così come è stato inteso dal sociologo Vanni Codeluppi. Al vaglio di un’analisi semiotica, il dispositivo delle vetrine si rivelerà molto più complesso di quanto si sia creduto. Più che dispositivo di “assimilazione all’esibizione” cui tenderebbe ogni ambito della nostra vita sociale, la vetrina è il discrimine che oppone /pubblico/e /privato/ nella città regolando e rinnovando quotidianamente il senso estetico nella vita di tutti i giorni: è guardando le vetrine che si capisce cosa è di moda e cosa no ma soprattutto è attraverso le vetrine che si può capire chi si è (come fa Andy Warhol in un suo celebre aforisma)…
