Enterobacter cloacae administration induces hepatic damage and subcutaneous fat accumulation in high-fat diet fed mice.
2018
Accumulating evidence indicates that gut microbiota plays a significant role in obesity, insulin resistance and associated liver disorders. Family Enterobacteriaceae and especially Enterobacter cloacae strain B29 have been previously linked to obesity and hepatic damage. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain unclear. Therefore, we comprehensively examined the effects of E. cloacae subsp. cloacae (ATCC® 13047™) administration on host metabolism of mice fed with high-fat diet (HFD). C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into HFD control, chow control, and E. cloacae treatment groups. The E. cloacae treatment group received live bacterial cells in PBS intragastrically twice a week, every ot…
KOSMOS 2017 Peru Side Experiment: nutrients, phytoplankton abundances, enzyme rates, photophysiology
2022
This data was collected during an short-term incubation experiment in March 2017 that investigated the response of a surface plankton community to upwelling. This experiment was carried in the framework of the SFB754-funded KOSMOS mesocosm study that took place in La Punta, Callao, Peru between February-April 2017. A total of six different treatments were used to disentangle chemical and biological characteristics of deep water that influence surface plankton blooms: 2 different deep water sources with different nutrient concentrations; 3 treatments to distinguish the effects of inorganic nutrients, organic nutrients and deep water microbial populations. Measured variables include inorganic…
Evaluación microestructural de materiales nanoparticulados preparados a partir de caolines
2009
En el presente trabajo se han seleccionado dos caolines con características microestructurales muy diferenciadas, y se les ha aplicado un tratamiento mecánico con un molino de discos de giro excéntrico empleando dos accesorios de distinta efectividad; un conjunto de copa y cilindro de ágata (ag) y otro de copa, anillo y cilindro de acero recubierto de carburo de wolframio (CW). Los materiales sin tratar y los generados en la molienda se han caracterizado microestructuralmente a través de tres métodos diferentes de análisis basados en datos de difracción de rayos X, y por microscopía electrónica de barrido. Se ha complementado la caracterización de los materiales con estudios de determinació…

Young adult dystopian novels of the twenty-first century: Cultural dimensions and reception of S. Westerfeld's Uglies, S. Collins' The Hunger Games, …
2020
En las últimas décadas hemos sido testigos de la enorme popularidad de la ficción para jóvenes adultos, que ha conseguido atraer a sus lectores a través de la magia, los vampiros, o las heroínas con arco y flechas que luchan contra el sistema. Con un público objetivo adolescente, la nueva ola de ciencia ficción distópica ha obtenido un éxito sin precedentes con la publicación de The Hunger Games de Suzanne Collins (2008, 2009, 2010). El éxito de esta trilogía y su adaptación cinematográfica favorecieron que surgieran otras novelas del mismo género, como la trilogía Divergent, de Veronica Roth (2011, 2012, 2013), que recibieron una similar bienvenida por parte de la audiencia. La ficción dis…
Acute and chronic effects of cold treatment on physiological variables and neuromuscular function during a short training period in men
2015
Introduction. Recovery following various physical exercises is a complicated process. The exercise session can involve strong demands on both muscle structure and energy production (aerobic and anaerobic). Many exercise sessions also induce muscle damage (exercise induced muscle damage; EIMD). Different recovery methods attempt to alleviate or prevent EIMD and its associated symptoms, such as muscle soreness and swelling, and reduction in muscle function. One of the used strategies is cold treatment (cryotherapy), which decreases tissue temperature and subsequently effects on e.g. blood flow, metabolism and neural conductance velocity. To date, there is conflicting evidence to support the u…
Project for a Red List and country assessment of Italian Bryophytes.
2016
Italy represents a biodiversity hot spot in the Mediterranean area. To monitor and defend its great “natural patrimony”, coherently with the Europe Strategy for Plant Conservation (EPCS, 2002) and the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2020 (2011), the Italian Ministry of Environment, land and sea protection supported a national project to compile the first Red List of Italian flora (Rossi et al. 2013) according to IUCN criteria (2001), coordinated by the Italian Botanical Society. For Italian bryophytes the first red lists were compiled by Cortini Pedrotti & Aleffi (1992) for mosses and Aleffi & Schumacker (1995) for liverworts and hornworts. To update these lists the Working Group for B…
Project for a Sicilian Bryophyte Red List.
2016
Due to its location, Sicily has always represented an important biogeographic bridge between floras of temperate and tropical climates as well as between those of the western and eastern Mediterranean. Its central position in the Mediterranean was also key factor of a millenary history of human settlements which resulted in profound landscape changes in the past, but even at present human pressure continues to be very heavy. In spite of this, Sicily is part of one of the 10 most important hotspots in Mediterranean Basin, thanks to plant richness and endemism (Médail & Quézel 1999: Conserv. Biol. 13(6): 1510-1513). The bryophyte flora, including ca. 600 taxa (almost half of Italian bryof…
Validating Habitual and Goal-Directed Decision-Making Performance Online in Healthy Older Adults
2021
Everyday decision-making is supported by a dual-system of control comprised of parallel goal-directed and habitual systems. Over the past decade, the two-stage Markov decision task has become popularized for its ability to dissociate between goal-directed and habitual decision-making. While a handful of studies have implemented decision-making tasks online, only one study has validated the task by comparing in-person and web-based performance on the two-stage task in children and young adults. To date, no study has validated the dissociation of goal-directed and habitual behaviors in older adults online. Here, we implemented and validated a web-based version of the two-stage Markov task usi…

2017
Bakalaura darba "Reklāma un sponsorētais saturs Latvijas dzīvesstila vlogos: "PARâdi MODI", "Sindijalo" un "Evelina Parkera"" mērķis ir noskaidrot, cik izplatīta sponsorēšana kā reklāmas veids šobrīd ir populāros Latvijas "YouTube" kanālos, kā tā izpaužas video saturā un kādas ir auditorijas prasmes atšķirt sponsorēto saturu. Darbā tika izmantotas kvantitatīvās un kvalitatīvās pētniecības metodes: kvantitatīvā kontentanalīze, daļēji strukturētā intervija un eksperiments. Darbs sastāv no teorētiskās, metodoloģiskās un empīriskās daļas un pētījums parāda, ka auditorijai ir attīstītas prasmes atšķirt sponsorēto saturu Latvijas dzīvesstila vlogos, tajos ir liels sponsorētā satura daudzums, kā a…
