Second to fourth digit ratios and the implicit gender self-concept
2007
Abstract Intersexual and intrasexual variation in the ratio of index and ring finger lengths (2D:4D) is thought to be a marker of fetal androgen and estrogen levels. Thus, 2D:4D ratios have been expected to be associated with the development of the gender self-concept (masculinity vs. femininity). These associations have, however, proven to be empirically rather small and lower than expected. By arguing that early developmental events more greatly influence implicit as compared with explicit self-concepts, we hypothesized that 2D:4D ratios might be associated with the implicit gender self-concept – assessed using an Implicit Association Test – as opposed to the self-reported explicit gender…
Effectiveness of Entrepreneurial Universities: Experiences and Challenges in Digital Era (A Systemic Approach)
2021
The modern world actively discusses the challenges that will lead to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. As the specialists assume, part of the jobs will be replaced by artificial intelligence. In addition, creation of completely new jobs is expected. As for the jobs that might be maintained in future, skills upgrading will be particularly important. In such a turbulent environment of economic development, universities, and in particular entrepreneurial universities, play a significant role. We think so as these universities have special structures that promote form a university-industry-government triple helix, reskilling and commercialization of new ideas, etc. Due to the above-mentioned fa…
Electric Field Dependence of the Fluorescence Intensity of Solute Molecules and Fourth Order Effects
1985
Abstract The effect of an external electric field on the total fluorescence of solute molecules is studied up to fourth order theoretically, and is checked experimentally with 4´-N,N-dimethylamino- 4-nitrostilbene in dioxane at room temperature.
Strong Instability of Ground States to a Fourth Order Schrödinger Equation
2019
Abstract In this note, we prove the instability by blow-up of the ground state solutions for a class of fourth order Schrödinger equations. This extends the first rigorous results on blowing-up solutions for the biharmonic nonlinear Schrödinger due to Boulenger and Lenzmann [8] and confirm numerical conjectures from [1–3, 11].
Perception of quality of life in an elderly Angolan sample / Percepción de calidad de vida en una muestra de ancianos angoleños
2014
AbstractIncreased life expectancy and the ageing of the population have made it particularly important to distinguish between the old (usually 60–79 years, or the ‘young old’) and the oldest old (80 years or more, or the ‘fourth age’). This study explores the effects of age, gender and institutionalization on perceived health and life satisfaction in 1003 elderly people from Luanda, Angola. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was estimated to test for these effects. Results provide evidence of lower scores on life satisfaction and perceived health for the oldest old and the institutionalized. However, the higher life satisfaction among the non-institutionalized disappeared when the…
�ber morphologische Befunde im Gebiet der Pons und des 4. Ventrikels bei Affektionen des Gro�hirns
1956
glauben wir sagen zu konnen, das alle krankhaften Prozesse der beschriebenen Art innerhalb des Hirns und der Schadelhohle bzw. von ausen einwirkende Traumen einen Gefasreflex fern vom Ort der eigentlichen primaren Lasion innerhalb der Hirnsubstanz auslosen konnen. Die durch diesen Reflex bedingten Veranderungen in Form von Blutungen und Odem im Bereich der Pons und der vegetativen Kerngebiete fuhren zu den vegetativen Erscheinungen, wie sie nach einem Hirntrauma auftreten konnen. Vegetative Ausfalle im Sinne vonVeil undSturm finden durch irreversible Storungen auf dem Boden dieser Veranderungen ihre Erklarung. Auserdem kann durch die Lage von Blutungen und Odem und den dadurch bedingten kli…
INTERPRETARE ORAZIO CON ORAZIO? A PROPOSITO DI CARMINA, LIBRO IV
2011
In the work “Mutat terra vices. Identità, cambiamento e memoria culturale nell’ultimo Orazio” (Palermo 2010), I focused my attention on interpretative and methodological questions concerning the last Horatian book of carmina. In this paper the aim is to demonstrate how the topic of change and discontinuity points out, on the surface of these poems, the presence of conspicuous interferences between the execution of a role by authorial "persona", and the expression, at the same time, of role distance. I mean here especially to describe how gift, reciprocity and exchange in patronage frames contributed to the definition of Horace’s self and of his official duties as interpreter of common memor…
TISSUE OXYGENATION AND NORMAL AND HYPERTHERMIC CONDITIONS
1981
Publisher Summary This chapter describes the tissue oxygenation and normal and hyperthermic conditions. The knowledge of the effect of hyperthermia on tumor and normal tissue blood flow is important not only for the effect of hyperthermia on hypoxic cells at the time of radiation, but also for differential tumor heating. There is considerable evidence from plethsmography that an elevation of normal tissue temperature to 41°C is accompanied by a considerable increase in blood flow. The chapter discusses studies that were conducted to examine changes in the microenvironment of normal and tumor tissue as measured directly with ultramicroelectrodes. In situ studies were carried out in fourth ge…

Bi- and uniciliated ependymal cells define continuous floor-plate-derived tanycytic territories
2017
Multiciliated ependymal (E1) cells line the brain ventricles and are essential for brain homeostasis. We previously identified in the lateral ventricles a rare ependymal subpopulation (E2) with only two cilia and unique basal bodies. Here we show that E2 cells form a distinct biciliated epithelium extending along the ventral third into the fourth ventricle. In the third ventricle floor, apical profiles with only primary cilia define an additional uniciliated (E3) epithelium. E2 and E3 cells' ultrastructure, marker expression and basal processes indicate that they correspond to subtypes of tanycytes. Using sonic hedgehog lineage tracing, we show that the third and fourth ventricle E2 and E3 …
