Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel peptidomimetics as rhodesain inhibitors

2016

Novel rhodesain inhibitors were developed by combining an enantiomerically pure 3-bromoisoxazoline warhead with a 1,4-benzodiazepine scaffold as specific recognition moiety. All compounds were proven to inhibit rhodesain with Ki values in the low-micromolar range. Their activity towards rhodesain was found to be coupled to an in vitro antitrypanosomal activity, with IC50 values ranging from the mid-micromolar to a low-micromolar value for the most active rhodesain inhibitor (R,S,S)-3. All compounds showed a good selectivity against the target enzyme since all of them were proven to be poor inhibitors of human cathepsin L. Novel rhodesain inhibitors were developed by combining an enantiomeri…

Casual, Colloquial, Commonsensical: A News Values Stylistic Analysis of a Populist Newsfeed

2021

This study explores a mediated variety of right-wing populist discourse in the digital context, given the populists’ inclination to bypass legacy media to connect directly to the citizens to garner political support. It analyzes a sample of the Tea Party’s newsfeed headlines posted in the spring of 2019. A corpus of 308 headlines collected according to a “constructed week” formula has been coded first according to selected news values parameters (Bednarek and Caple 2017), and then with respect to stylistic devices operationalized in terms of “casual,” “colloquial” and “commonsensical” expressions. Methodologically, the study aims to combine the perspectives of newsworthiness and stylistics …

An International Survey of Quality and Safety Programs in Radiology

2021

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the status of radiology quality improvement programs in a variety of selected nations worldwide. Methods: A survey was developed by select members of the International Economics Committee of the American College of Radiology on quality programs and was distributed to committee members. Members responded on behalf of their country. The 51-question survey asked about 12 different quality initiatives which were grouped into 4 themes: departments, users, equipment, and outcomes. Respondents reported whether a designated type of quality initiative was used in their country and answered subsequent questions further characterizing it. Results: The re…

Nacionālā vērtību sistēma korejiešu sakāmvārdos

2017

Bakalaura darbs “Nacionālā vērtību sistēma korejiešu sakāmvārdos” ir veltīts korejiešu sakāmvārdu izpētei. Katrai tautai ir savas nacionālās īpatnības, kuras nevar piešķirt citām tautām. Sakāmvārds ir folkloras materiāls, kurā atklājas šīs īpatnības. Interese par korejiešu valodas apguvi Latvijā sāka pieaugt tikai šajā desmitgadē. Tas ir galvenais iemesls, kāpēc pētījumu par šo valodu pagaidām nav daudz. Autore izvēlējās korejiešu sakāmvārdus par pētījuma objektu, jo uzskata, ka pilnvērtīga korejiešu valodas apguve bez idiomātisko izteicienu un sakāmvārdu saprašanas ir neiespējama. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt korejiešu sakāmvārdus un izvērtēt to savstarpēju sakarību ar pieņemtām nacionālām vērt…

L'interaction lieu – objet comme modélisation de l'expérience culturelle vécue : définition, mesure et validation empirique dans le cas du spectacle …

2006

This article proposes to reconsider the concept of lived cultural experience. In a first part, we explore the track of value. We try to justify of its interest to apprehend the experience. We also seek to improve the conceptualization of the experience by defining it as an interaction place - object. Then, in a second part, we present an empirical test of this conceptualization in the field of lives performance. This test is followed of a discussion about the results.

Conceptualisation et mesure de la valeur perçue d'un lieu de consommation. Application au domaine du spectacle vivant

2005

This article seeks to understand the role of a place during a consumption experience. We explore the track of value and present a scale of perceived value of a place. In this way, we have done a state of art about the value and we justify for using this concept to grasp the physical environment. We present the stages of the scale's building.

Constructing a “breakthrough”: News values in Science Magazine's 2017 ranking of most important discoveries

2018

The objective of this study is to conduct a stylistic analysis of the synopses publicized in the end-of-the-year ranking list of 2017 scientific “breakthroughs” from Science Magazine. The article provides a review of literature on science popularization (also known as science accommodation) and presents the typology of news values and rationalization cues that are used by editors to make science-related coverage both newsworthy and credible at the same time. The article lists the possible ways in which scientific findings can be stylistically constructed as “breakthroughs”. The analysis consists in quantifying and illustrating the typical stylistic maneuvers for framing selected science-rel…

The Joint Distribution Criterion and the Distance Tests for Selective Probabilistic Causality

2010

A general definition and a criterion (a necessary and sufficient condition) are formulated for an arbitrary set of external factors to selectively influence a corresponding set of random entities (generalized random variables, with values in arbitrary observation spaces), jointly distributed at every treatment (a set of factor values containing precisely one value of each factor). The random entities are selectively influenced by the corresponding factors if and only if the following condition, called the joint distribution criterion, is satisfied : there is a jointly distributed set of random entities, one entity for every value of every factor, such that every subset of this set that corr…
