Double copies of blaKPC-3::Tn4401a on an IncX3 plasmid in Klebsiella pneumoniae successful clone ST512 from Italy
2015
ABSTRACT A carbapenem-resistant sequence type 512 (ST512) Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase 3 (KPC-3)-producing K. pneumoniae strain showing a novel variant plasmid content was isolated in Palermo, Italy, in 2014. ST512 is a worldwide successful clone associated with the spread of bla KPC genes located on the IncFIIk pKpQIL plasmid. In our ST512 strain, the bla KPC-3 gene was unusually located on an IncX3 plasmid, whose complete sequence was determined. Two copies of bla KPC-3 ::Tn 4401a caused by intramolecular transposition events were detected in the plasmid.

Experimental Evolution Reveals a Genetic Basis for Membrane-Associated Virus Release
2021
Many animal viruses replicate and are released from cells in close association to membranes. However, whether this is a passive process or is controlled by the virus remains poorly understood. Importantly, the genetic basis and evolvability of membrane-associated viral shedding have not been investigated. To address this, we performed a directed evolution experiment using coxsackievirus B3, a model enterovirus, in which we repeatedly selected the free-virion or the fast-sedimenting membrane-associated viral subpopulations. The virus responded to this selection regime by reproducibly fixing a series of mutations that altered the extent of membrane-associated viral shedding, as revealed by fu…
Relationships Between Health Promoting Activities, Life Satisfaction, and Depressive Symptoms in Unemployed Individuals
2021
Background: Previous research has documented that unemployed individuals who engage in recreational activities, either alone or with others, experience higher levels of mental health and psychological well-being relative to those who do not engage in recreational activities. Aims: In this study, we examined whether engagement in health promoting activities, alone or with other family members, is associated with reduced levels of depression and enhanced levels of life satisfaction in unemployed individuals. Method: We employed a cross-sectional design in which we measured life satisfaction, depressive symptoms, consumption of healthy meals and engagement in physical activities in 203 unemplo…

Goodwill impairments and the value relevance of goodwill of the small listed companies in Finland
2016
Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on tarkastella, miten liikearvon arvo määräytyy ja onko liikearvo arvorelevanttia. Kohdeyritysten taloudellisten tietojen ja niiden analysoinnin pohjalta on tarkoituksena selvittää, onko liikearvon ja yrityksen markkina-arvon välillä yhteys sekä miten liikearvon määrä on vaihdellut kohdeyritysten taseissa vuosina 2007-2014. Tavoitteena on myös selvittää, miten markkinat suhtautuvat liikearvon arvonalentumiskirjauksiin. Tutkimusmenetelmä on kvantitatiivinen tutkimus, jossa on myös ominaispiirteitä field-tutkimuksesta. Tutkimusaineisto koostuu kirjallisuuden lisäksi kohdeyritysten tilinpäätöstiedoista sekä muusta taloudellisesta informaatiosta, kuten pörssikurssitiedoi…
Viltotas preces – patērētāju izvēle un institūciju darbība pret to pieejamību tirgū
2021
Maģistra darba tēma ir “Viltotas preces – patērētāju izvēle un institūciju darbība pret to pieejamību tirgū”. Pētījuma mērķis ir novērtēt patērētāju izvēles ietekmējošos faktorus, apzināti izvēloties iegādāties viltotas preces, kā arī izvērtēt institucionālos aspektus cīņā ar viltojumu pieejamību Eiropas Savienības tirgū. Darbs strukturēts trīs nodaļās, aplūkojot patērētāju lēmumu pieņemšanas aspektus, viltojumu tirgus izplatības ekonomisko ietekmi, izpēti noslēdzot ar Latvijas patērētāju anketēšanas rezultātu apkopojumu un analīzi. Veicot analīzi secināts, ka Latvijas patērētāju galvenie iemesli, lai iegādātos viltotās preces ir to zemās cenas un informācijas trūkums par viltoto preču nega…
The Nasal Epithelium as a Factory for Systemic Protein Delivery
2002
We have previously shown that recombinant Sendai virus (SeV) produces efficient in vivo airway epithelial gene transfer. The ability to produce therapeutic levels of circulating proteins following noninvasive gene transfer would have widespread clinical application. Here, we compared nose, lung, and skeletal muscle for the ability to produce circulating levels of the secreted mouse antiinflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL10) following SeV-mediated gene transfer. High levels of serum IL10 were obtained from each site with a potency order of lung > nose > muscle for a given viral titer. Serum levels from each site were within the likely required range for anti-inflammatory effects. The co…
Immune responses during COVID-19 infection
2020
International audience; Over the past 16 years, three coronaviruses (CoVs), severe acute respiratory syndrome CoV (SARS-CoV) in 2002, Middle East respiratory syndrome CoV (MERS-CoV) in 2012 and 2015, and SARS-CoV-2 in 2020, have been causing severe and fatal human epidemics. The unpredictability of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) poses a major burden on health care and economic systems across the world. This is caused by the paucity of in-depth knowledge of the risk factors for severe COVID-19, insufficient diagnostic tools for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, as well as the absence of specific and effective drug treatments. While protective humoral and cellular immune responses are usually m…
