Józef Wacław Dąbrowski (1797–1862). Wołynianin w armii Królestwa Polskiego
2021
W artykule, w oparciu o nieznane i tym samym niewykorzystywane dotąd przez historyków wspomnienia, przedstawione zostały dzieciństwo i młodość Józefa Wacława Dąbrowskiego, oficera wojska Królestwa Polskiego, dowódcę w randze kapitana i majora oddziałów powstańczych jesienią 1830 – latem 1831 r. Koleje jego losów i kariera wojskowa są tak typowe, jak i odbiegające od znanych i omawianych w literaturze przedmiotu schematów. Typowe, gdyż dzięki wywodzeniu się z kręgów średnio zamożnego ziemiaństwa rozpoczął służbę wojskową od stopnia kadeta, aby przed upływem roku awansować na podchorążego i uzyskać skierowanie do szkoły podchorążych, stanowiącej niezbędny etap służby potrzebny do awansu ofice…
Coupling transcriptomics and behaviour to unveil the olfactory system of Spodoptera exigua larvae
2020
AbstractChemoreception in insects is crucial for many aspects related to food seeking, enemy avoidance, and reproduction. Different families of receptors and binding proteins interact with chemical stimuli, including odorant receptors (ORs), ionotropic receptors (IRs), gustatory receptors (GRs), odorant binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs). In this work, we describe the chemosensory-related gene repertoire of the worldwide spread pest Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuide) focusing on the transcripts expressed in larvae, which feed on many horticultural crops producing yield losses. A comprehensive de novo assembly that includes reads from chemosensory organs of larva…
RNA interference in Lepidoptera: an overview of successful and unsuccessful studies and implications for experimental design.
2011
International audience; Gene silencing through RNA interference (RNAi) has revolutionized the study of gene function, particularly in non-model insects. However, in Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) RNAi has many times proven to be difficult to achieve. Most of the negative results have been anecdotal and the positive experiments have not been collected in such a way that they are possible to analyze. In this review, we have collected detailed data from more than 150 experiments including all to date published and many unpublished experiments. Despite a large variation in the data, trends that are found are that RNAi is particularly successful in the family Saturniidae and in genes involv…
Insecticidal Activity and Synergistic Combinations of Ten Different Bt Toxins against Mythimna separata (Walker)
2018
The oriental armyworm (OAW), Mythimna separata (Walker), is a destructive pest of agricultural crops in Asia and Australia. Commercialized Bt crops have performed very well against their target pests
Health coverage for a retreating army: a Medical Captain’s action during the Maestrazgo campaign (April-July 1938).
2012
espanolAntecedentes y objetivos: Tras la entrada definitiva de las tropas del general Franco en la ciudad de Teruel en febrero de 1938 se inicio la retirada progresiva del Ejercito de Maniobra de la republica. El rapido avance de las fuerzas nacionales hacia el Mediterraneo marco las caracteristicas de la cobertura sanitaria militar. El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar una aproximacion a la Sanidad del Ejercito republicano durante su retirada por el Maestrazgo castellonense, que tuvo lugar entre abril y julio de 1938 en el contexto de la Guerra Civil Espanola (1936-1939). Material y metodos: Hemos utilizado una fuente de gran valor historico, como es el testimonio oral de un Capitan Med…
Oedenburg. Une agglomération d’époque romaine sur le Rhin supérieur : fouilles françaises, allemandes et suisses à Biesheim-Kunheim (Haut-Rhin)
2005
Die römische Fundstelle Oedenburg (Biesheim-Kunheim, Haut-Rhin, France) wird seit 1998 von einem international Team ausgegraben (Ecole pratique des hautes études, Paris, Universität Freiburg im Breisgau, Deutschland, Universität Basel, Schweiz). Gegenüber dem keltischen Oppidum von Breisach, nahe am heutigen Rhein gelegen, war die Siedlung in einer deutlich anderen Landschaft angelegt worden, die damals von verschiedenen Flussarmen durchzogen war. Nach dem bisherigen Stand der Erforschung scheint der Ort zu Beginn der tiberischen Zeit von einem Militärlager besetzt gewesen zu sein, das zum Kommandobereich von Vindonissa im Nordteil des Territoriums der Rauriker gehörte. Zur gleichen Zeit en…
The influence of smoke volatiles on sexual maturation and juvenile hormone biosynthesis in the black army cutworm, Actebia fennica (Lepidoptera: Noct…
2000
0965-1748 (Print) Journal Article Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't; Outbreaks of the black army cutworm, Actebia fennica, are associated with recently burned sites, where larvae feed on early successional plants. In the present paper we show that smoke volatiles stimulate juvenile hormone biosynthesis in virgin females, resulting in a more rapid rate of oocyte maturation and a significant advance in the age of first calling (the release of the sex pheromone) compared to control females. The ecological implications of this physiological effect are discussed.
Conflicto familia-trabajo, autoeficacia y cansancio emocional: un análisis de los efectos longitudinales
2015
Based upon the revised Job Demands and Resources Model (2008) we aim first, to test the relations between work-family conflict and emotional exhaustion across time and second, to determine the role of professional self-efficacy in this relation. A longitudinal study was conducted in two times, with a year of interval in a Spanish Army sample (n = 242). To test the causal relations between work-family and emotional exhaustion three models are tested: normal causal, reversed causal, and causal reciprocal. To test the role of professional self-efficacy in the relation between work-family conflict and emotional exhaustion four alternative models are tested: independence, antecedent, mediation, …
Host-range expansion of Spodoptera exigua multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus to Agrotis segetum larvae when the midgut is bypassed.
2010
Given the high similarity in genome content and organization between Spodoptera exigua multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeMNPV) and Agrotis segetum nucleopolyhedrovirus (AgseNPV), as well as the high percentages of similarity found between their 30 core genes, the specificity of these NPVs was analysed for the respective insect hosts, S. exigua and A. segetum. The LD(50) for AgseNPV in second-instar A. segetum larvae was 83 occlusion bodies per larva and the LT(50) was 8.1 days. AgseNPV was orally infectious for S. exigua, but the LD(50) was 10 000-fold higher than for SeMNPV. SeMNPV was not infectious for A. segetum larvae when administered orally, but an infection was established by injecti…
Sapieżyńska ochrona dóbr Potockich w starostwie owruckim w latach 80. i 90. XVII wieku Przyczynek do badań nad współpracą rodzin magnackich w czasach…
2019
The Sapiehas and the Potockis were amongst the most influential families of the Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth. The latter family owned numerous estates in Ukraine, which were directly under threat from marching Lithuanian soldiers. Kazimierz Jan Sapieha, Grand Hetman of Lithuania was in charge of the said estates. Due to cooperation of the two magnate families, he attempted to shield the Potockis’ estates and possessions from Lithuanian troops marching to or returning from the war with Turkey. To that aim he utilised legal proclamations called Universals. The Potockis returned the favour by entering into political collaboration. Hetman Kazimierz Jan Sapieha, having been absent from the Sie…
