A single transient episode of hyperammonemia induces long-lasting alterations in protein kinase A.
2007
A single transient episode of hyperammonemia induces long-lasting alterations in protein kinase A. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 292: G305-G314,2007; doi:10.1152/ajpgi.00100.2006.-Hepatic encephalopathy in patients with liver disease is associated with poor prognosis. This could be due to the induction by the transient episode of hepatic encephalopathy of long-lasting alterations making patients more susceptible. We show that a single transient episode of hyperammonemia induces long-lasting alterations in signal transduction. The content of the regulatory subunit of the protein kinase dependent on cAMP (PKA-RI) is increased in erythrocytes from cirrhotic patients. This increase is…
Elämänarvot keski-iässä : psykometrinen rakenne ja yhteydet persoonallisuuden piirteisiin ja psyykkiseen hyvinvointiin
2016
This study examined, first, basic human values’ and life goals’ factor structures and the reciprocal links between these measures; second, the connections between personality traits and values, and possible gender differences in these relations; and third, the relations between life goals and mental well-being, and whether life goals act as mediators in the associations between personality traits and mental well-being. The participants were drawn from the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JYLS). Data used here were collected at ages 42 and 50 (n = 212–242). The results yielded a 14- factor value structure (societal concern, tolerance, protecting nature, car…
One Does Not Fit All: European Study Shows Significant Differences in Value-Priorities in Clean Sport
2021
Doping violates the Spirit of Sport and is thought to contradict the values which underpin this spirit. Values-based education (VBE) has been cited as a key element for creating a clean sport culture across age groups. Culturally relevant VBE requires understanding of the values that motivate athletes from different countries to practice their sport and uphold clean sport values. WADA's new International Standards for Education makes this study both needed and timely. Overall, 1,225 athletes from Germany, Greece, Italy, Russia, and the UK responded to measures assessing their general values, Spirit of Sport values, and their perceived importance of "clean sport". MaxDiff analysis identified…
Opowiadania dla dzieci jako środek transmisji wartości chrześcijańskich i humanistycznych na przykładzie wydawnictw Diecezjalnego Instytutu Muzyki Ko…
2019
Współczesny świat oferuje ludzkości wiele dóbr materialnych i nowych technologii. Nadmiar dostępnych środków może jednak w pewnym momencie okazać się zagrożeniem dla prawidłowego rozwoju człowieka, powołanego do życia w duchu wartości chrześcijańskich i humanistycznych. Potrzeba więc trzeźwego spojrzenia na panujące warunki społeczne oraz troskliwego i odpowiedzialnego podjęcia niełatwej misji wychowania młodego pokolenia. W toku tegoż procesu warto natomiast korzystać z dostępnych pomocy dydaktyczno-wychowawczych, dzięki którym przekazywane ideały mają szansę dotrzeć z większą skutecznością do wychowanków. Cennym wsparciem w tym zakresie okazują się być opowiadania dla dzieci transmitujące…
Otwartość skrzydlatologa
2020
The objectives of this paper are twofold: to prove the thesis on the openness of a purposefully selected researcher and to take advantage of the opportunity to present some of his thoughts, taken from his abundant publications (more than three hundred items). The authors focus on the presentation of one topic, i.e. openness in the works of linguist Professor Wojciech Chlebda. This subject sometimes appears on the surface when the researcher speaks explicitly about it, but is frequently present in presuppositions or on a metalinguistic level. The methodological roots of these considerations refer to “judgements, beliefs and assumptions” hidden in the texts. The material for the analyses is a…
il volto della morte: le maschere funerarie della sepoltura dei preti morti di Gangi
2014
riassunto — Le mummie moderne e il signifcato recondito della doppia sepoltura nelle culture mediterranee moderne sono da tempo ampiamente dibattuti. In questo lavoro si discute di una particolare “collezione” di corpi di ecclesiastici, mummifcati ed esposti in un comune montano madonita della Sicilia, Gangi. I corpi, principalmente risalenti al XIX secolo, mummifcati per colatura come nella tradizione del tempo e vestiti degli abiti talari, sono esposti nel piano sottostante della Chiesa Madre, in quella che nella tradizione è detta la “fossa dei parrini” (fossa dei preti). Le mummie, a differenza di altri siti siciliani e mediterranei, sono altresì corredate di sonetto commemorativo e di …
Newspapers on sustainable development - a postmodern business perspective
2009
The paper departs from an urge to understand the operating environment of business firms in the postmodern society. In identifying sustainable development as a key concept, we make use of daily newspapers to explore which values these attach to reporting on sustainable development. After identifying these norms of society, we argue that firms have taken on a role in people’s lives that former pertained to the religious, collective culture. Business organizations provide a sense of belonging in times when people look for new areas of selfidentification. This role has been accepted opportunistically and strategically in the business world. We thus identify a weak SD paradigm, which seems to i…
On the spectrum of semi-classical Witten-Laplacians and Schrödinger operators in large dimension
2005
We investigate the low-lying spectrum of Witten–Laplacians on forms of arbitrary degree in the semi-classical limit and uniformly in the space dimension. We show that under suitable assumptions implying that the phase function has a unique local minimum one obtains a number of clusters of discrete eigenvalues at the bottom of the spectrum. Moreover, we are able to count the number of eigenvalues in each cluster. We apply our results to certain sequences of Schrodinger operators having strictly convex potentials and show that some well-known results of semi-classical analysis hold also uniformly in the dimension.
On Stability of a Concentrated Fiber Suspension Flow
2014
Linear stability analysis of a fiber suspension flow in a channel domain is performed using a modified Folgar-Tucker equation. Two kinds of potential instability are identified: one is associated with overcritical Reynolds number and another is associated with certain perturbations in fiber orientation field and is present for any Reynolds numbers. The second type of instability leads to initially growing transient perturbations in the microstructure. It is shown that both types of instability lead to instability of the bulk velocity field. As for the perturbed Orr-Sommerfeld eigenvalues, the presence of fibers increases the stability region; the stability region increases with growing C i …
Distribution of Large Eigenvalues for Elliptic Operators
2019
In this chapter we consider elliptic differential operators on a compact manifold and rather than taking the semi-classical limit (h →), we let h = 1 and study the distribution of large eigenvalues. Bordeaux Montrieux (Loi de Weyl presque sure et resolvante pour des operateurs differentiels non-autoadjoints, these, CMLS, Ecole Polytechnique, 2008. https://pastel.archives-ouvertes.fr/pastel-00005367, Ann Henri Poincare 12:173–204, 2011) studied elliptic systems of differential operators on S1 with random perturbations of the coefficients, and under some additional assumptions, he showed that the large eigenvalues obey the Weyl law almost surely. His analysis was based on a reduction to the s…
