Exercise intervention protocol in children and young adults with cerebral palsy : the effects of strength, flexibility and gait training on physical …

2021

Abstract Background Individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) have problems in everyday tasks such as walking and climbing stairs due to a combination of neuromuscular impairments such as spasticity, muscle weakness, reduced joint flexibility and poor coordination. Development of evidence-based interventions are in pivotal role in the development of better targeted rehabilitation of CP, and thus in maintaining their motor function and wellbeing. Our aim is to investigate the efficacy of an individually tailored, multifaceted exercise intervention (EXECP) in children and young adults with CP. EXECP is composed of strength, flexibility and gait training. Furthermore, this study aims to verify the …

Different sensitivity of carp (Cyprinus carpio) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to the immunomodulatory effects of UVB irradiation.

2006

Abstract In order to study the sensitivity of two fish species, carp (Cyprinus carpio) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), to the immunomodulatory effects of ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, the fish were exposed to a single UVB dose of 50, 250, 500 or 1000 mJ cm−2. These species represent different phylogenetic groups of fish, and they differ also in their behaviour inhabitating often dark and turbid (carp) or clear and transparent waters (salmonids). Immune responses were studied on day 1 post-irradiation. Unexposed fish, and fish exposed to radiation depleted of UV wavelengths served as controls. UVB irradiation markedly enhanced the blood respiratory burst and cytotoxic activity in c…

Long-term UVB irradiation affects the immune functions of carp (Cyprinus carpio) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).

2009

The effects of long-term, low-dose ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation on immune functions of two fish species representing different taxonomic groups, carp (Cyprinus carpio) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), were assessed in this study. The fish were exposed to 7, 20 or 60 mJ cm(-2) UVB three times per week, for 6 weeks. In carp, UVB exposure affected the respiratory burst activity of blood and head kidney phagocytes, differential blood leukocyte counts and blood chemistry. Phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated in vitro proliferation responses of blood and head kidney lymphocytes, however, remained unchanged. Rainbow trout tolerated the irradiations with fewer alterations, but significant c…

Cation binding resorcinarene bis-crowns: the effect of lower rim alkyl chain length on crystal packing and solid lipid nanoparticles

2012

A group of seven resorcinarene bis-crown ethers (CNBC5) with two polyether bridges at the upper rim and either propyl, butyl, pentyl, heptyl, nonyl, decyl or undecyl groups at the lower rim were synthesized and their binding properties with Cs+ were investigated by NMR titration. The bis-crowns form 1:2 complexes with Cs+ with binding constants of logK 4–5. Crystal structures of bis-crowns and their Cs+ and K+ complexes were studied and different packing motifs were found depending on the alkyl chain length. Short ethyl, propyl and butyl alkyl chains gave a layer or pillar packing where the polar and non-polar regions cannot be distinguished, whereas longer pentyl and decyl chains formed bi…

Immigrant entrepreneur firm start-up behavior and reasoning : a reflective study of causation, effectuation and bricolage

2013

Entrepreneurship research studies how and why firms come into being, survive and grow (Davidsson, 2004; Gartner, 1985; Schumpeter, 1934). Early literature has proposed a linear model of entrepreneurship which is intentional (Bird, 1988), opportunity discovery (Kirzner, 1997; Shane and Venkataraman, 2000) and goal & strategy oriented (Wiklund & Shepherd, 2005). Being a mainstream in the earlier research, it is labelled as causation model by Sarasvathy (2001). Several scholars such as Baker & Nelson (2005) and Sarasvathy (2001a, b; 2008) questioned the validity of the model and proposed two additional models to the classic model: Effectuation (Sarasvathy, 1998) and Entrepreneurial Bricolage (…

Z dziejów kultury muzycznej w kościele parafialnym pw. św. Wawrzyńca męczennika w Starym Waliszowie

2016

Początki kultury muzycznej Starego Waliszowa związane są z tamtejszą świątynią pw. św. Wawrzyńca. Prawdopodobnie już w XVIII wieku istniała tam kapela muzyczna. Prowadzona była przez miejscowych nauczycieli, którzy byli jednocześnie organistami i kościelnymi. Na przełomie XIX i XX stulecia funkcję chórmistrza pełnił przez 37 lat Josef Ho1 mann. Za jego kadencji miejscowi muzycy włączyli się w ogólnoniemiecki ruch odnowy muzyki kościelnej. W 1905 roku odbył się w Starym Waliszowie walny zjazd członków Stowarzyszenia Cecyliańskiego Hrabstwa Kłodzkiego. W 1930 roku miejscowy zespół wokalno-instrumentalny liczył 18 chórzystów i 15 instrumentalistów. Począwszy od XVIII wieku nabożeństwom w Stary…

Polyketides from the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus falconensis: In silico and in vitro cytotoxicity studies.

2020

Abstract Fermentation of the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus falconensis, isolated from sediment collected from the Red Sea, Egypt on solid rice medium containing 3.5% NaCl yielded a new dibenzoxepin derivative (1) and a new natural isocoumarin (2) along with six known compounds (3–8). Changes in the metabolic profile of the fungus were induced by replacing NaCl with 3.5% (NH4)2SO4 that resulted in the accumulation of three further known compounds (9–11), which were not detected when the fungus was cultivated in the presence of NaCl. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by HRESIMS and 1D/2D NMR as well as by comparison with the literature. Molecular docking was conducted fo…

Effect of changes in the cellular energy state on glucose transport activity in Brevibacterium flavum

2000

Abstract The effect of changes in cellular energy state on 6[14C]glucose uptake and activity of the phosphoenolpyruvate:glucose phosphotransferase system (PTS) in Brevibacterium flavum RC 115 cells was investigated. Energy generation in cells was varied by adding an inhibitor of cellular respiration (potassium cyanide) and an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation (pentachlorophenol) to the cell culture as well as by changing thiamine concentration in the bacterial growth medium. The results showed that glucose uptake in ‘respiring’ cells was inversely correlated with bacterial respiration activity: uptake declined with excess ATP generation and increased with lower ATP synthesis caused by …
