Interpretación : radical y cultural

1999

La interpretación es una operación que aplicamos a una gran variedad de dominios. Interpretamos las proferencias de nuestros interlocutores, las acciones de nuestros congéneres, un texto legado por la historia, una obra de arte o una práctica ritual. Esta enumeración de fenómenos susceptibles de interpretación no pretende ser exhaustiva. Pero permite ver tres dimensiones de la interpretación que nos interesa subrayar: la lingüística, la psicológica y la cultural. Se trata, por lo demás, de tres dimensiones no carentes de relación. Pues la interpretación de las proferencias lingüísticas de alguien nos permite atribuirle ciertas creencias y en principio podemos ver en sus creencias, en la med…

Osmotic and cryoprotective effects of a mixture of DMSO and ethylene glycol on rabbit morulae.

1993

Abstract Comparisons were made of the osmotic and cryoprotective effects on rabbit embryos preserved by vitrification with 2 solutions and by conventional freezing. Embryos obtained from rabbits killed 70 to 72 h after mating were used in the study (n = 948). Initially, toxicity of the 3 cryoprotectants was studied in fresh (unfrozen) embryos (n = 135). Subsequently, embryos placed in ethylene glycol (EG, 40% v/v; n = 88) and ethylene glycol with dimethyl sulfoxide (EG+DMSO, 20% v/v each, respectively; n = 344) were loaded into straws and plunged directly into liquid nitrogen. Embryos placed in 1.5 M DMSO and 20% heat inactivated rabbit serum were subjected to conventional freezing in a pro…

Direct transfer of vitrified rabbit embryos.

1994

In this study we looked at the feasibility of transferring vitrified rabbit embryos directly into recipient does. Compacted morulae were vitrified in a solution of 20% ethylene glycol and 20% dimethyl sulfoxide. After thawing, and without step-wise diluted solution, the vitrified embryos were transferred into the recipient's uterine horns. Survival rate at birth differed from fresh rabbit embryos (40% vs 55%, P0.05). However, the percentage of does that delivered (94%) and the survival rate suggested this method is suitable for both storage and simple transfer of rabbit morulae.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of antimalarial and antileukemic activity of new C-10 modified artemisinin derivatives

2021

Abstract Several non-acetal artemisinin derivatives were synthesized and their antimalarial activity against chloroquine-resistant parasites as well as their antileukemic activity were investigated. The azide 10 was proved to have slightly better activity than the current antimalarial drugs such as artesunate and chloroquine. In addition, the azide 10 and the aldehyde 7 were found to be effective in decreasing cell proliferation in leukemia cells.

Learning to Read Equine Agency: Sense and Sensitivity at the Intersection of Scientific, Tacit and Situated Knowledges

2021

The aim of this essay is to address the challenges and problems in communicating with horses and interpreting their communication in everyday handling and training situations. We seek ways to learn more about equine communication and agency in the prevention of cruelty against animals and in enhancing animal welfare. We ask how it would be possible to learn to read the subtle signs of equine communication and agency in a sensible, sensitive, and ethical way to increase the health and wellbeing of horses that humans interact with. We have placed this theoretical examination in a multidisciplinary framework that consists of humananimal studies, feminist posthumanities, cultural and literary s…

Sperm morphological abnormalities appearing in the male rabbit reproductive tract

1996

The role of the excurrent duct system in producing and/or eliminating morphologically abnormal spermatozoa may modify the semen parameters and interfere with sperm fertilizing capacity. To study this process, changes in the morphology of spermatozoa during their transit through the reproductive tract in sexually mature rabbits were investigated. The incidence of head, midpiece and tail abnormalities as well as of multiple defects in a single spermatozoon, and the position of the cytoplasmic droplet along the sperm midpiece were evaluated in samples from the testis, 6 regions of the epididymis and the vas deferens. Spermatozoa were characterized by rapid migration of the cytoplasmic droplet …
