Abstract:
Vegetative annuals are currently popular in the ornamental horticulture industry. Many crops are newly domesticated species and little is known about how they perform during shipping or in the retail environment. Nine species and 21 cultivars were grown and underwent simulated shipping after harvest or nitrogen toning two weeks before harvest. Shipping was not found to affect the number of flowers on all but two cultivars post ship. Nitrogen toning affected vegetative growth of most Bracteantha bracteata (bracteantha) cultivars at harvest. All species had an effect due to toning postharvest. Bractenatha and Diascia ×hybrida (diascia) were chosen for further study due to their performance during these experiments. The effect of thidiazuron (TDZ) as a foliar spray and nitrogen toning on leaf yellowing and plant growth of bracteantha were evaluated. The two treatments were then combined to see how the two treatments worked together. It was found TDZ decreased leaf yellowing but its effects can be negated if the plants were not toned. Nitrogen toning reduced vegetative growth of the bracteantha without affecting the number of flowers on the plants. Diascia was found to have flower abscission in response to shipping. Further trials were conducted using 1- methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) an ethylene inhibitor. The effects of shipping duration and temperature were investigated. 1-MCP was found to hold flowers on treated plants longer postharvest than those not treated. Plants shipped for one day had no differences from the control but shipping for two days had a negative effect on plant quality. Postharvest shelf life was decreased when diascia was shipped at 24 °C when compared to cooler shipping temperatures. These results indicate shipping for no longer than one day and at less than 24 °C is recommended for diascia.

Abstract:
Consumers are often confused and reluctant to purchase products from fresh retail meat counters that exhibit significant color variations. This hesitation to purchase results in annual profit loss to the pork industry. Processes to minimize color variation remain a major focus of the industry and many meat science programs across the globe. Previously, we found inherent muscle characteristics contribute to variations in pork quality but these characteristics fail to explain the high frequency of two-toning and other pork quality defects routinely occurring in many hog processing facilities. Therefore, we hypothesized harvesting practices, such as scald alter color across muscles of the ham. Scald time was initially investigated using 32 carcasses subjected to either a 4 (n=16) or 8 (n=16) min scald time. Samples were collected before or after scalding and at 24 hrs. A 50% reduction in scald time resulted in (p < 0.0001) lighter muscle color (L*) early postmortem, although the 8 min scald treatment was lighter (p < 0.005) at 24 hrs. Although differences in pH (p < 0.0001) and color were noted, ultimate carcass temperature was not affected. To that end, we moved to validate our hypothesis in an industrial plant setting. Carcasses (n=200) were assigned treatments of 6.5 or 7.5 min scald times, and SM muscle samples were collected at 24 hrs. Surprisingly, the shorter scald time resulted in (p < 0.05) a lighter color, contradicting our first study. To explore this color issue further, we uncoupled scald from the dehairing process. To achieve this goal, carcasses (n=24) were assigned to either an 8 or 16 min time to dehair, with or without scalding. Protracted time to dehair resulted in higher ultimate pH (p < 0.005) and less color variation across the muscle (p < 0.05). Though a color gradient remained, the variation across the muscle was reduced by increasing time to dehair. These data show time to dehair affects pork quality development and suggest that delaying time to physical manipulation of the carcass may improve pork color, thus increasing consumer acceptance.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract The salt print is an important part of photography, both in its historic value and in the tonal range it can provide. This tonal range is greater than any other photographic printing process available to date attributed to the inherent masking ability of the metallic silver. However the intrinsic production problems have made it a 'forgotten' process. There are five key problems. 1. The difficulties in achieving the potential extensive tonal range. 2. The varying colour of the print. 3. Staining that appears in the print, during and after processing. 4. Instability and longevity of the salt print. 5. Contradictory and inaccurate information in material published on the salt print. Although the emphasis of the research is on exploring and controlling the colour and tonal range, the staining problems and stability of the print are also addressed. The materials used for contact negatives today vary in both capture and output, from analogue film processed in the traditional wet darkroom to a variety of transparent film printed from digital files. Inadequate density and tonal range can affect all types of negatives. To provide sufficient exposure time for the salt prints extended tonal range adjustments to the negative were necessary. These long exposures then converted sufficient silver salts to the image making metallic silver, utilising the intrinsic self-masking process. Ultimately this research has uncovered ways to control colour and tonal range and certain aesthetic qualities of the salt print, while simultaneously resolving some of the conflicts in published information. Accurate and consistent methods of processing eliminate staining, providing some stability to the print. The activities and steps carried out to make a salt print are manual; precise duplication is therefore almost unattainable. Nevertheless, although tests on a densitometer may display numeric differences, visual differences are barely noticeable.

Abstract:
This project consists of a transcription and translation of the Annuae 1626-1645, written by an unidentified Jesuit missionary in Tonkin (Vietnam). The document appears to have been used as a source text for António Cardim's book Batalhas da Companhia de Jesus, and, as a result, there are many similarities between the two works. Despite these similarities, the Annuae contains new and insightful information on the state of the Tonkin mission as well as an interesting outsider's perspective on Vietnamese politics in the early 17th century.

Abstract:
La restauration des films muets en couleurs apparaît dans les années 1970. Au départ effectuée grâce à la photochimie, elle se tourne vers le numérique dans les années 2000. A la naissance du cinématographe, les films étaient peints à la main. Petit à petit, d’autres techniques furent inventées, comme le pochoir, le teintage ou le virage. Ces méthodes, difficilement reproductibles aujourd’hui, sont les témoins d’un autre temps, celui du spectacle cinématographique. Ainsi, si le numérique permet de restaurer une version du film, il ne pourra pas reconstituer l’appareillage du cinématographe des années 1900. De la coloration manuelle à sa restauration actuelle, laboratoires et cinémathèques français et italiens tentent de transmettre un patrimoine
Restoring coloured silent films started in the 1970s. First achieved thanks to the photochemical method, it then became digitalized in the 2000s. The point is at the beginning of the cinematograph, films used to be hand-painted. Other methods were progressively invented such as stencils, tinting or toning. All these methods, difficult to handle nowadays, remain as the past witnesses of a bygone time, that of cinematography as a live show. Thus, even though digital devices allow some technicians to restore their versions of the films dealt with, they can't reconstruct the craftsmanship of the cinematograph in the 1900s. From yesterday's hand-painting to today's restoration, French and Italian laboratories and Film Archives try to pass on an heritage

Hogan, Robert E. "Aspects of tonic accommodation and tonic vergence." Thesis, Aston University, 1985. http://publications.aston.ac.uk/14586/.

Full text
Abstract:
Under conditions of reduced visual stimulation, the systems of accommodation and vergence tend towards physiological resting states that are intermediate within their functional range. The terms tonic accommodation (TA) and tonic vergence (TV) are used in the study to describe these stimulus-free, intermediate adjustments and to represent the systems as being in a state of innervational tonicity. The literature relating to TA and TV and the various experiments of this thesis are reviewed. Methodology has been developed enabling the determination of TA and TV under conditions of total darknessl laser optometry for TA and ~ernier-alignment for TV. The thesis describes a series of experiments designed to investigate various aspects of TA and TV, and their role in ametropia, binocular vision and their adaptation to sustained visual tasks. Measurements of TA were also utilised to investigate the effect of various autonomic effector drugs on the ciliary muscle. The effects of ethanol on binocular function are shown to be directly proportional to the .initial level of TVJ which is itself unaffected. These results support the concept of TV as the reference point for normal vergence responses. The results of the pharmacological investigations indicate the presence of a small but significant, beta-receptor mediated inhibitory sympathetic input to the ciliary muscle, and that the wide distribution in TA is a consequence of inter-observer variations in parasympathetic, rather than sympathetic tone. Following interaction with visual tasks of t5mins duration, the levels of TA and TV are found to be biased in the direction of, and proportional to, the task position: except during near-task viewing where the task-to-TA stimulus-distance exceeds 1.5D (for TA) and 3.5deg (for TV). Under these conditions the expected level of bias is attenuated, Adaptive models are discussed, proposing TA and TV as the reference points of the accommodative and vergence system.

Abstract:
Le présent mémoire porte sur un recueil de nouvelles de Tonino Benacquista, La machine à broyer les petites filles paru en 1993. Ces textes appartiennent à un genre doublement marginalisé : les nouvelles policières. Nous avons tenté de comprendre de quelle manière les trois principaux sous-genres criminels s'entremêlent dans les textes de Benacquista, ainsi que les effets de cette hybridité. Nous avons d'abord dégagé les principales constantes théoriques du récit criminel et de ses trois principaux sous-genres, soit le récit à énigme, le récit à suspense et le récit noir. Puis, avant même de nous consacrer à l'analyse proprement dite des nouvelles, nous avons tenté de mieux comprendre les traits de la nouvelle et les influences qu'ils peuvent avoir sur les récits criminels de Benacquista. Dans la seconde partie, nous avons analysé les treize nouvelles criminelles du recueil de Benacquista. Le premier constat fut que les textes de La machine à broyer les petites filles présentent presque tous une forte coloration noire, entre autres parce que l'auteur s'amuse à transgresser les frontières entre les catégories, entre autres à travers les natures des crimes et de l'énigme. Cela transparait également à travers l'étrangeté des personnages et des lieux, le ton distant des narrateurs ainsi que la focalisation. Par ailleurs, l'ironie et la subversion, traits appartenant autant à la nouvelle qu'au récit noir, teintent toutes les nouvelles. Mais, plus que tout, ces récits incitent à réfléchir aux notions complexes que sont l'impunité et la culpabilité.

Full text
Abstract:
Il est des notions servant d’architecture aux opérations d’épargne tellement anciennes, voire un tantinet désuètes et « exotiques », qu’elles finissent par n’intéresser qu’une poignée de spécialistes. C’est le cas de la tontine qui occupe une place résolument atypique et différenciée. Son traitement est tout aussi significatif que paradoxal. À son évocation, contrairement aux autres techniques juridiques et malgré sa relative confidentialité, n’importe quel particulier est capable de tracer une trame, peu ou prou précise, mais néanmoins avec une constance dès lors qu’il s’agit de ses deux points cardinaux que sont la survie, comme condition exécutoire, et la mort, comme condition résolutoire. Mais là s’arrête la bonne intuition et commencent un ensemble de malentendus ainsi qu’une certaine amphibologie. De prime abord, l’histoire de la tontine ne peut être écrite au singulier. Elle a changé d’objet à trois reprises, de 1653 à nos jours. Quand bien même son régime est parvenu à se stabiliser, la tontine est redevenue multiforme, faisant intervenir alternativement la vie et le décès comme fondement de l’extinction des obligations. Ensuite, sa représentation est toujours occultée par des récits des abus alors que la loi du 17 mars 1905 est parvenue à les sécuriser définitivement. Enfin, les démarches d’introspection ont été continuellement ramenées à la comparaison avec l’assurance vie. Peu convaincantes, elles butent toutes sur le postulat intangible qui sépare la tontine de l’assurance. De là, il faut définitivement se convaincre que la tontine est une opération d’épargne sui generis, définie par huit éléments constitutifs, dotée d’un droit spécial et couverte par le Code des assurances (articles R.322-139 à R.322-159)
There are architectural notions related to savings’ plans so ancient, even indeed slightly outmoded and « exotic », that they end up interesting only a handful of specialists. This is the case of tontine which fills a resolutely atypical and differentiated niche. Its processing is as significant as it is paradoxical. In fact, unlike other legal techniques and despite its relative confidentiality, any individual is capable of drawing a more or less accurate yet constant framework, that it includes two cardinal points which are survival as an execution clause, and death as a cancellation clause. But good intuition stops there and a whole series of misunderstandings begin, as does a certain amphibology. At first sight, tontine history cannot be written in a singular mode. Tontine has changed its object three times, from 1653 to this day. Although its system had become reliable, tontine merged again into a many-faceted profile, applying alternately, life and death events as a foundation of obligation extinction. Furthermore, tontine representation is always overshadowed by a sulphurous reputation even though the March 17th 1905 bill managed to definitely secure these operations. Finally, introspection initiatives have been continuously reduced to a comparison with life insurance. Unconvincing, they always trip over the intangible premise which separates tontine from insurance. From there, it is unequivocal that tontine is a sui generis savings’ plan, defined by eight constitutive elements, endowed with a specific legal system and covered by the insurance code (articles R.322-139 to R.322-159)

Abstract:
Dans le contexte colonial, le bouddhisme était dans une situation critique. Du sud au nord, les appels des moines et des laïcs se font entendre en faveur d'une réforme en profondeur, comme le montre la voie de la rénovation bouddhique dans d'autres pays asiatiques, notamment en Chine. Fondée le 6 novembre 1934 par décision du Résident supérieur du Tonkin, l’Association bouddhique du Tonkin réunit autour de son projet un grand nombre de personnes, issues de classes sociales très différentes, afin d’œuvrer à la rénovation bouddhique. Ceci à destinations des fidèles comme des religieux avec l'objectif de rendre le bouddhisme conforme à sa doctrine, et en même temps adapté à la société dans laquelle ils vivent. En bénéficiant de nouveaux facteurs dans la vie culturelle et intellectuelle, l’Association bouddhique possède des outils modernes pour une meilleure compréhension et une diffusion plus large vers le public. Elle édite des livres et une revue, Đuốc Tuệ considérée comme son moyen privilégié pour guider les fidèles dans leur pratique quotidienne du bouddhisme dans un monde moderne. Le bouddhisme d’engagement social promu par l'association, démontre que la pratique du bouddhisme ne signifie pas seulement de prières, d’aller à la pagode et faire des offrandes. Le bouddhiste moderne c’est celui qui s’engage dans la société de son temps à travers des actions concrètes en respectant les valeurs morales bouddhiques. Par son influence dans la société, l’Association bouddhique est une version moderniste dans le domaine religieux, ce qui contribue à construire le bouddhisme moderne au Vietnam avec un nouveau visage et un nouvel esprit, l’esprit d’engagement social
In the colonial context, Buddhism was in a critical situation. From north to south, under the influence of the movement to revive Buddhism in other Asian countries, especially in China, monks and lay people called for an extensive reformation. Founded on November 6 1934 by the decision of the governor of the Tonkin, the Tonkin Buddhist Association brought together a large number of members, from many different social classes to carry out the Buddhist revival and to address to two subjects, believers and monks, with the aim of bringing Buddhism as a religious consistent with its doctrine and the society in which they live. Inheriting the new factors in the cultural and intellectual lives, including the adoption of quốc ngữ, and the development of the press and publishing, Buddhist Association had the modern tools to explain and spread widely Buddhist teachings for better understanding to the public. It published books and magazine, Đuốc Tuệ (Flambeau de la Spiritualité), in the national language, considered as its preferred way to guide buddhism believers in their daily practice in the modern world. Social engagement of Buddhism promoted by the association, meant that the practice of Buddhism was that the modern Buddhists not only prayed, went to the temples, and offered, but also had to engage to their living society, through practical actions in accordance with the Buddhist moral values. Thanks to its influence of the society, the Tonkin Buddhist Association was a unique symbol of the innovation in the religious field, which contributed to building of the modern Buddhism in Vietnam with a new face and a new spirit, the spirit of social engagement

Abstract:
Originalmente, a teoria de nicho ecológico fundamenta-se em indivíduos de uma espécie sendo ecologicamente equivalentes por utilizarem os recursos de forma similar. Portanto, o nicho de uma espécie é definido em termos do uso médio de recursos. Porém, a qualidade e abundância de recursos consumidos, sexo, idade ou morfotipo do consumidor influenciam o comportamento alimentar individual. Estudos recentes sobre forrageamento ótimo tem foco de interesse na variação interindividual no uso de recursos. Ao longo da sua área de distribuição são reconhecidas populações da toninha Pontoporia blainvillei (Cetacea) e no litoral paulista, possivelmente hajam três subpopulações dessa espécie: norte, centro e sul. Meu primeiro objetivo foi investigar se há variação na dieta entre essas três subpopulações de toninha. Adicionalmente, investiguei quais fatores entre sazonalidade, sexo e idade dos indivíduos poderiam estruturar a dieta em uma dessas subpopulações (central). Utilizei 58 indivíduos provenientes de captura acidental no litoral paulista, com representantes das regiões norte, centro e sul. A amostra incluiu juvenis e adultos de ambos os sexos, capturados em todas as estações do ano. Identifiquei as espécies nos conteúdos estomacais usando os otólitos de peixes e os bicos de lulas. Estimei o tamanho das presas utilizando regressões com as medidas dessas estruturas e investiguei a estruturação da dieta usando um índice de variação da dieta. Houve uma clara variação na dieta ente as subpopulações paulistas, possivelmente devido à diferença espacial na disponibilidade de presas. Para a subpopulação central não houve variação na dieta decorrente da sazonalidade ou do sexo. A ausência de variação sazonal pode ser devido à pouca alteração na abundância da principal presa, P. harroweri, no ambiente ao longo do ano. A ausência de variação decorrente do sexo pode ser devido a seleção de presa estar mais relacionada a características de corpo mole e fácil digestão e não ao tamanho da presa, sendo essa seleção comum para ambos os sexos. Indivíduos de idades diferentes possuem dietas distintas, com juvenis consumindo mais espécies que os adultos. Essa mudança de nicho alimentar pode ser devida ao período de aprendizado. Finalmente, mesmo descontando os efeitos da disponibilidade temporal e espacial de presas, do sexo e da idade, houve variação interindividual da dieta na subpopulação central. Somente estudos com marcadores isotópicos poderão investigar se essa variação é devida à especialização individual em toninhas
Ecological niche theory is originally based on the assumption that individuals of a species use similar resources and therefore are ecologically equivalents. Under this framework, the niche of the species can be defined in terms of average resource use. However, factors such as quality and quantity of prey resources in the environment, consumer gender, age or morphotype may influence the individual feeding behavior. Considering that possible interindividual variation, recently studies under optimal foraging theory have variation among individuals as a focus of interest. The species P. blainvillei is partionated in populations along its range and probably, subpopulations can be found in the Sao Paulo state coast: northern, central and southern. Hence, my first goal was to investigate if there is diet variation among the three franciscana subpopulations from Sao Paulo coast. Additionally, I searched for which factors would be the diet structure defined within one of the subpopulations (the central one). I have considered the seasonality, individual gender and sex as possible factors influencing the diet structure within the central subpopulation. I had 58 franciscana specimens obtained from bycatch in the Sao Paulo coast, being them from northern, central and southern regions. They were juveniles and adults of both genders and bycaught in all the seasons. I identified the prey species from the gut contents with fish otholits and squid beaks. I estimated prey length and weight using regressions with that structures measures and I investigated the diet structure using a diet variation index. Within the central subpopulation I found no diet variation based on seasonality or individual gender, instead I found diet variation for individuals from different ages. Probably, most of the diet variation among subpopulations is due to prey availability spatial difference. The lack of diet variation based on seasonality may be due to little seasonal variation in the abundance of the main prey, P. harroweri. The lack of variation due to gender is probably related to the prey selection on soft body and easy digestion instead of prey size, being this type of selection common for both genders. Juveniles franciscana preyed on more species than the adults and that niche shift as an age effect can be consequence of forraging skills development. Enclosing, even discarding the effects of the spacial and temporal prey availability, individual gender and age, I found interindividual-level diet variation within the central subpopulation, which can points out to franciscana individual specialization, but isotopic studies are required to infer that specialization

Cette periode de la fin du 19e siecle correspond a la creation de ce que certains appellent "le second empire colonial francaise". Certes, dans ce prodigieux mouvement d'exploration entrepris par les pays d'europe pour decouvrir de nouvelles terres et surtout de nouveaux marches, la peninsule indochinoise et le tonkin ont un role limite. Dans cette region du sud-est asiatique, anglais et francais luttent pour etendre leur domination afin de s'assurer des bases solides pour conquerir les hypothetiques marches de la chine meridionale. Partie des indes, l'angleterre s'etend vers la birmanie et "conseille" le siam, royaume puissant et peuple. La france, implantee en cochinchine depuis le second empire, espere etendre son influence sur l'empire d'annam et surtout sur le delta du fleuve rouge, apres l'exploration de doudart de lagree, qui montre que le mekong n'est pas la voie de penetration qui mene vers la chine. En 1883, la mort du commandant riviere au tonkin declenche le processus de conquete et de pacification. Malgre de multiples changements de ministeres, de gouverneurs generaux, de grands administrateurs, la politique coloniale de la france au tonkin s'affine et permet de mettre en place un appareil administratif. En dix ans, on passe du regime militaire au regime civil, puis a une evolution permanente de ce dernier: creation de l'union indochinoise (en 1887). .
This period of the end of the 19th century corresponds to what some call " the second french colonial empire. " yet, in this fantastic exploration movement undertaken by europeans countries in order to discover new terrtories and particularly new markets. The indochinese peninsular and tonkin had a limited role. In this region of south east asia, the english and the french fought to spread their control and to secure strong bases in order to conquest the hypothetical markets of southern china. Having started from the india empire, england spread towards birma and became "councellors" of siam, a powerful and crowed country. Having settled in cochinchina since the second empire, france hoped to spread her influence on the annam empire and particularly on the delta of the red river, after the exploration performer by doudart de lagree which showed that the mekong river was not the way of penetration to reach china. In 1883, the death of major riviere in tonkin launched the process of conquest and pacification of annam-tonkin. In spite of numerous changes of governments, general governors, and the high administrators, the french colonial policy in tonkin became more effective and enabled. .

Det har visat sig i studier att nätverket har betydelse för unga föräldrar. Unga föräldrar är ingen enhetlig grupp utan alla har olika förutsättningar. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur relationen förändrats till partner, föräldrar och vänner sedan de blev föräldrar samt att undersöka familjecentralens betydelse. För genomförandet av studien har kvalitativa intervjuer gjorts med en grupp unga föräldrar på familjecentralen. Studiens teoretiska utgångspunkt har varit systemteori då den beskriver sambanden mellan olika relationer i nätverket. I resultat delen begränsas analysen till mikro och meso nivå, då individen och närområdet är det intressanta för denna studie. I resultatet framkommer att relationerna till partnern, föräldrar och vännerna har förändrats. Majoriteten av de unga föräldrarna upplevde att de respekterade varandra och tog mer hänsyn till sin partner sedan de blev familj. Umgänget bestod mestadels av andra föräldrar, därför att de tidigare vännerna saknade förståelse för deras situation. Den egna modern var viktig för råd och praktisk hjälp. Ett flertal av de unga mödrarna upplevde att relationen mognat och var mindre konfliktfylld.

Abstract:
Bibliography: leaves 97-99.
This dissertation attempts to demonstrate the role the tongue plays in articulation in brass playing. It briefly examines oral anatomy, physiology and theories on motor learning, and describes the tongue's position in producing English speech sounds. It shows how these positions are used to teach different articulation techniques on the various brass instruments. Articulation styles and (tonguing) exercises, which could aid in the improvement of tongue articulation, are highlighted. It is hoped that these highlights will add insight for both present and future brass teachers.

Abstract

Uppsatsen är en kvalitativ studie som handlar om kommunikation via mobiltelefonen mellan föräldrar och tonåringar. Vi har intervjuat åtta personer, fyra tonåringar i åldern 14-17 år samt deras mammor. Syftet med undersökningen är att ta reda på vad mobiltelefonen betyder för relationen mellan föräldrar och tonåringar.

I bakgrunden har vi tagit upp den fasta telefonens och den mobila telefonens historia och utveckling samt tonåringarnas syn på att hantera och använda sig av mobiltelefonen. Teorier vi valt att använda är Margaret Meads kulturbegrepp, Anthony Giddens begrepp rena relationer samt tid och rum och slutligen Erving Goffman teori om roller och regioner.

Relationen mellan föräldrar och tonåringar har med mobiltelefonen som hjälpmedel genomgått en förändring. Vi ser det som att en ny tillitsrelation skapats där tonåringar och föräldrar informerar varandra kontinuerligt vilket framförallt sker under helger och kvällar. Det sker ett samspel mellan tonåringar och föräldrar där ömsesidigt lärande ingår. Margaret Meads begrepp Prefigurativ kultur tar upp att även föräldrar lär sig av sina barn, vilket innebär att socialisationen blir lite förändrad mot det ”vanliga” där föräldrarna är de som är upplysta och där barnet ska lära av dem. Relationen mellan föräldrarna och tonåringarna har även fått inslag av det som Giddens benämner som rena relationer där ömsesidigheten och tilliten är viktig och där tilliten ständigt återskapas. Genom att använda mobiltelefonen som ett informations- och kontaktverktyg byggs relationen gemensamt upp och det blir en ständigt pågående aktivitet mellan tonåring och förälder.

Abstract:
En vanlig källa till kontakallergiskt eksem är sensibiliserande (allergiframkallande) kemikalier som finns i hårfärger. Permanenta hårfärger innehåller kraftiga allergener, men det saknas kartläggande forskning på toningar. För att ta reda på vilka allergener som ingår i toningar behöver dagens utbud kartläggas. Detta projekt har skett i Stockholm och innehållet i sex olika märken har kartlagts. Toningar och permanenta hårfärger skiljer sig åt genom att permanenta hårfärger polymeriseras i håret genom oxidation med väteperoxid. Toningar innehåller kromofora ämnen som fäster i håret, antingen genom diffusion eller adsorption. Totalt kunde tio kromofora ämnen med kända sensibiliserande egenskaper hittas i toningarna varav en möjlig cancerogen. I varje produkt fanns i snitt 0,4–2,4, och som mest tre, kända sensibiliserande kromofora ämnen. Hårfärger utan sensibiliserande färgämnen kunde hittas i alla kulörer utom svart och brun. Även sensibiliserande parfymämnen och konserveringsmedel kunde påvisas. Eftersom det finns hårfärger i de flesta kulörer utan sensibiliserande färgämnen bör dessa ämnen fasas ut.

Abstract:
Statistikfrån 2012 visade att 346 679 personer i Sverige har sjukdomen diabetes, detta omfattar cirka 4% av befolkningen och av dessa har cirka 50 000 personer diabetes typ 1. Forskning har visat att diabetiker har lägre livskvalitet än övrig befolkning. Livskvaliteten påverkas av fysisk hälsa, psykologiskt tillstånd, grad av självständighet och sociala relationer. Tonåringar med diabetes typ 1 upplever sig annorlunda jämfört med sina vänner och det är betydelsefullt att identifiera faktorer som påverkar livskvaliteten. Syftet med studien var att belysa faktorer som påverkar livskvaliteten hos tonåringar med diabetes typ 1. Studien genomfördes som en litteraturstudie och 13 vetenskapliga artiklar analyserades. Resultatet av studien visar att HbA1c, psykiskt välbefinnande, närstående, behandling och kontroll av sjukdomen påverkar livskvaliteten hos tonåringar med diabetes typ 1. För att kunna hjälpa tonåringar att höja livskvaliteten är det av stor betydelse att identifiera de faktorer som påverkar livskvaliteten. Vidare forskning bör fokusera på evidens för hur de faktorer som påverkar livskvaliteten kan påverkas.

Abstract:
Inledning: Att vara tonåring och leva med en svårt sjuk och döende förälder är påfrestade och det finns en ökad risk att detta på lång sikt påverkar det psykologiska välbefinnandet. För att kunna stödja dessa tonåringar och förebygga risk för framtida psykisk ohälsa behöver vi ta reda på mer om deras upplevelser. Frågeställningar: Hur upplever tonåringar att ha en svårt sjuk och döende förälder? - Upplevelse av den egna livssituationen - Upplevelse av familjens livssituation - Upplevelse av delaktighet - Upplevelse av förberedelse Metod: Tematisk analys (Hayes 2000). Upprepade retrospektiva intervjuer med tonåringar som förlorat en förälder, som erhållit palliativ vård, inom ett år efter förlusten. Kvalitativ analys användes för att analysera resultatet. Resultat: Samtliga tonåringar upplever ett ökat ansvar. Upplevelse av ensamhet är genomgående för samtliga tonåringar. De anpassar sig till den nya livssituationen med en sjuk och döende förälder genom att vara lojal sina föräldrar. För att förstå att föräldern är svårt sjuk och döende är de beroende av den information de får av sina föräldrar och de förbereder sig genom att iaktta den sjuke förälderns symtom och därmed förstå. För att hantera dessa upplevelser har stöd varit avgörande för hur de hanterat upplevelsen. Diskussion: Samtliga tonåringar hade bristfälliga kunskaper om hur sjukdomen och behandlingen påverkade deras förälder. Det kan ha bidragit till upplevelse av ansvar och ensamhet. För att kunna förbereda sig på förälderns död och minska dessa upplevelser behöver föräldrar och tonåringar ett ökat stöd av vården.
Background: Being a teenager living with a dying parent is well known to be distressing with a significant impact on teenagers’ psychological well-being. To support teenagers and prevent long-term psychological consequences we need to find out more about teenagers experiences. Aim: How do teenagers experience living with a terminally ill dying parent? - Experience of their own life circumstances - Experience of their family life circumstances - Experience of participation - Experience of preparation Method: Repeated qualitative interviews were conducted with ten teenagers who had lost a parent within a year. The parent had received specialist palliative care by the time of death. Qualitative content analyses (Hayes 2000) were used for analyses of the result. Results: All teenagers experienced increased responsibility. While carrying this responsibility they experienced loneliness and tried to adjust to the situation in different ways by being loyal to their parents. In their process to understand that the parent is dying they prepared by observing and trying to make sense of the illness symptoms they notice. To deal with these experiences support has been determinant for how they deal with the experiences. Discussion: All teenagers had poor knowledge of how illness and treatment influenced their parent. That might have led to experiences of responsibility and loneliness. To prepare for the death of their parent and decrease these experiences, the parents and teenagers need increased support from healthcare.

Abstract:
En Asie, la transition de la nuptialité est en cours depuis les années 1970, partant du modèle traditionnel vers le modèle " moderne " qui se caractérise par un recul de l’âge au premier mariage, une augmentation de la proportion des célibataires définitifs, un accroissement de l'instabilité conjugale et une tendance plus individualiste dans la formation des couples. Bien que le Viêt-Nam, comme la plupart des pays asiatiques, n'ait pas un niveau de développement élevé et reste attache à sa culture traditionnelle, il présente des caractéristiques socio-économiques spécifiques. Dans ce contexte, comment la transition de la nuptialité se passe-t-elle au Viêt-Nam ? Cette recherche, consacrée à la population du delta du fleuve rouge, veut apporter des réponses à la question posée. Les différents aspects de la nuptialité ont été examines : la formation des couples ; le calendrier et l'intensité du premier mariage ; les relations sexuelles prénuptiales et la rupture d'union, en particulier le divorce. Les résultats obtenus ont mis en évidence un modèle de transition avec quatre types d'évolution dans les comportements : la rupture, la continuité, l'innovation et un certain retour au mariage traditionnel
In Asia, the nuptiality transition began in the 1970s, with marriage patterns moving from the traditional patterns to the "modem" ones, characterized by a drop in the age at first marriage, a growth of never-married people, an increase of conjugal instability, and a move towards love marriage, away from arranged marriages. Vietnam, like some of its Asian neighbors, has a relatively low level of economic development, a strong sense of preservation of traditional culture, but Vietnam is also unique in some ways. How does marriage transition take place in such a context, then? We try to find answers to that question, using data from the red river delta population. Different aspects of nuptiality have been examined: couple formation ; timing and prevalence of first marriage ; premarital sexual relations and splitting of unions, particularly divorce. The results of this research have revealed a transition pattern containing four types of behavior development: breaking off, going on, innovation and return to traditional marriage

Full text
Abstract:
De nombreuses études expérimentales montrent que les canaux calciques activés par la dépolarisation membranaire, tout particulièrement les canaux calciques de type T (canaux T), jouent un rôle important dans la physiopathologie des épilepsies. Il existe trois isoformes des canaux T, Cav3.1, Cav3.2 et Cav3.3, toutes exprimées au niveau neuronal. De manière classique, c'est dans l'épilepsie absence où les canaux T ont été le plus étudiés. Les canaux T jouent également un rôle dans des modèles d'épilepsie partielle secondairement généralisée, comme le modèle pilocarpine qui mime l'épilepsie du lobe temporal (ELT). Jusqu'à présent ces canaux ne possédaient pas de pharmacologie spécifique, mais plusieurs molécules récemment synthétisées, en particulier le TTA-A2, apparaissent sélectives des canaux T. Le premier objectif de ma thèse était d'étudier l'implication des canaux T dans l'épileptogenèse. Pour cela nous avons traité des souris au TTA-A2 pendant la phase de latence du modèle pilocarpine (modèle ELT). Nos conditions expérimentales ne nous ont pas permis de conclure quant à une action protectrice du TTA-A2 dans ce modèle. Le deuxième objectif était d'étudier l'effet du TTA-A2 sur des modèles murins de convulsions généralisées : le modèle du Maximal Electroshock Seizure (MES) et le modèle pentylènetétrazole (PTZ). Deux lignées de souris inactivées pour les isoformes Cav3.1 ou Cav3.2 (KO Cav3.1 et KO Cav3.2) ont également été caractérisées dans cette étude. Nous montrons que le TTA-A2 réduit l'apparition des crises toniques dans le modèle MES et que les souris KO Cav3.1 sont également protégées, suggérant un rôle prépondérant des canaux Cav3.1 dans le développement des crises toniques
Numerous experimental studies show that calcium channels activated by membrane depolarization, especially T-type calcium channels (T-channels), play an important role in the physiopathology of epilepsy. There are three T-channels isoforms, Cav3.1, Cav3.2 and Cav3.3, all expressed in neuronal level. Conventionally, T-channels were the most studied in absence epilepsy. T-channels are also involved in partial secondarily generalized epilepsy models, as the pilocarpine model that mimics temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE).Up to now, there was no specific pharmacology for this channels, but several molecules have recently been synthesized, particularly TTA-A2, appearing selective T-channels. The first goal of my thesis was to study the T-channels involvement in epileptogenesis. For this purpose we treated mice with TTA-A2 during the silent phase of the pilocarpine model (TLE model). Our experimental conditions do not allow us to conclude about a possible protective action of TTA-A2 on this model. The second goal was to study TTA-A2 effects on mice models of generalized seizures: the Maximal Electroshock model (MES) and the pentylenetetrazole model (PTZ). Two mice strains knock-out for Cav3.1 or Cav3.2 (KO Cav3.1 and KO Cav3.2) have also been characterized in this study. We show that the TTA-A2 reduces the appearance of tonic seizures in the MES model and the KO Cav3.1 mice are also protected, suggesting a preponderant role of Cav3.1 channels in the development of tonic seizures

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Oupptäckt eller obehandlad celiaki kan leda till flertalet komplikationer. Det är svårt att följa en glutenfri kost och följsamheten till den glutenfria kosten varierar mycket. Tonåringar har visat sig ha lägre följsamhet än andra grupper. Syfte: Att analysera följsamhet till glutenfri kost, symtom vid glutenintag, tillväxt, kontakt med sjukvården samt upplevelse och kunskap om glutenfri kost hos ungdomar med celiaki. Metod: Data samlades in via enkät, blodprov och mätning av längd och vikt. Datainsamlingen skedde på Astrid Lindgrens barnsjukhus under våren 2011 och våren 2012. Data analyserades med Minitab 17. Resultat: 16 ungdomar i åldern 16-18 år deltog i studien. Deltagarna hade en hög följsamhet till den glutenfria kosten, tolv var följsamma enligt självrapportering, 14/15 hade normala serologiska värden och 2/15 hade inte nått förväntad target height. Deltagarna upplevde att det främst var utanför hemmet och skolan som det var besvärligt att äta glutenfri kost och i de fall där gluten ingick i kosten var det främst då det skedde. Alla som fick i sig gluten av misstag eller medvetet fick symtom, de som åt gluten medvetet hade en lägre frekvens av symptom. Fyra deltagare angav att de vid något tillfälle träffat dietist på grund av sin celiaki. Slutsats: Ungdomarna i studien hade en hög följsamhet till den glutenfria kosten. Åtta deltagare tyckte det var jobbigt att ha celiaki. Detta i kombination med kunskapsluckor om den glutenfria kosten hos ungdomarna gör att dietister inom sjukvården har en viktig roll i att ge stöd och förmedla kunskap om den glutenfria kosten och förhoppningsvis genom detta minska bördan av en celiakidiagnos. För att öka kunskapen om sjukdomen bör sjukvården ha som mål att alla celiakipatienter bör känna till vad celiaki är och vad följden kan bli om de inte följder den glutenfria kosten.

Fyson, Sarah J. "Tonic GABAa current in absence epilepsy." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2010. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/55034/.

Full text
Abstract:
Typical absence seizures are characteristic of many idiopathic generalised epilepsies and the only seizure-type in childhood absence epilepsy. We know that absence seizures arise in thalamocortical networks and that GABAergic agents exacerbate or induce absences. Furthermore, raised levels of GABA have been identified in the ventrobasal thalamus in an established genetic animal model (genetic absence epilepsy rats from Strasbourg GAERS), which was later suggested as a result of aberrant GABA uptake. I have shown that enhanced tonic GABAa current in TC neurons of the VB is a common phenomenon across genetic and pharmacological models of absence seizures. Furthermore, my data show that increased extrasynaptic GABAaR (cGABAaR) function in the VB is both sufficient and necessary to induce SWDs. This is supported by the fact that focal intrathalamic application of a selective agonist for eGABAARs, THIP, was sufficient to elicit SWDs in normal animals and that mice lacking cGABAaRs were resistant to absence seizure induction by y-butyrolactone. Moreover, I have presented data that directly implicate aberrant type-1 GABA transporters (GAT-1) in SWD generation in vivo, with GAT-1 knockout mice exhibiting spontaneous SWDs and focal thalamic administration of the GAT-1 blocker, N0711, inducing SWDs in normal rats a potential new model of absence epilepsy. In addition, my data indicate that activation of postsynaptic GABAbRs enhances tonic GABAA current, presumably via the Gl o protein coupled adenyl cyclase pathway, which was present under control conditions and occurred in several brain areas. This postsynaptic GABAb-cGABAaR link is further supported by the fact that GBL failed to induce SWDs in 5-subunit knockout mice. Thus, one of the cellular thalamic pathologies that characterises absence seizures is an astrocyte-specific aberrant GAT-1 with the resulting elevated extracellular GABA level enhancing tonic GABAa current through two mechanisms: direct activation of high affinity eGABAARs and indirect increase in eGABAAR function due to activation of postsynaptic GABAbRs.

Abstract:

Studiens syfte är att undersöka tonåringars upplevelser av att leva med diabetes och vilka problem de stöter på i vardagen. Tonårstiden är en omtumlande period då förvandlingen från att vara barn till att bli vuxen sker. Att samtidigt anpassa livet efter en kronisk sjukdom som innebär strikta regler och regelbunden vardag gällande mat och medicinering är påfrestande. En litteraturstudie har gjorts för att sammanställa forskning på området. Artiklarna hämtades i databaserna Cinhal och Medline. Sökorden som använts var: ungdomar, diabetes typ 1 och upplevelser. 14 artiklar valdes ut och analyserades. Två huvudteman definierades, det första var att leva med diabetes med underrubrikerna fritid, medicinering, kost och motion, skola och vård samt livskvalitet. Det andra var relationer med underrubrikerna familjen, vänner och frigörelse. Resultatet visar att tonåringar med diabetes typ 1 känner att de skiljer sig från sina vänner. De måste följa en regelbunden kost och medicinering. De kan inte vara spontana utan måste alltid planera sitt liv efter sin sjukdom. Frigörelseprocessen ser annorlunda ut för ungdomar med diabetes. Flickor och pojkar upplever sin sjukdom på olika sätt, pojkar har svårare att acceptera sin sjukdom och försöker dölja den, flickor identifierar sig mer med sin sjukdom men har svårare att följa de strikta och regelbundna rutinerna.


The aim of this study is to look into the experiences of adolescents living with diabetes and what problems they encounter in everyday life. Adolescence is a difficult period in life in which children grow up to become adults. At the same time it is stressful to adapt life to a chronic disease, with strict rules for food and medication on a regular timetable. A literature review has been made to compile research. Articles were retrieved in the databases Cinahl and Medline. The keywords used were: adolescent, type 1 diabetes and experiences. 14 Articles were selected and analyzed. Two main themes were defined, the first was to live with diabetes with subheadings leisure, medication, diet and exercise, quality of life, health care and school. The second was relationships with subheadings family, friends and emancipation. The result shows that teenagers with type 1 diabetes know that they are different from their friends. They must adhere to a regular diet and medication. They can not be spontaneous because they have to plan life to their illness. Emancipation process is different for adolescents with diabetes. Girls and boys experience their disease in different ways. Boys have more difficulties accepting their illness and try to hide it, girls identify more with it but find it harder to follow the strict and regular routines.

Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei) is the only extant representative of the Pontoporiidae family. This species occurs along the Atlantic coast of South America from Itaunas, Espirito Santo in Brazil to Golfo Nuevo, Valdes Peninsula in Argentina. The most important threat to the species is the accidental by-catch that in some places reached the number of 1000 related events per year. In recent years an increasingly number of studies had revealed the existence of considerable genetic variation along the geographical distribution of P. blainvillei. In this study, looking to collaborate towards a better comprehension of such existing structure, we analyzed new molecular data, including the sequencing of mitochondrial DNA control region and 11 microsatellite loci from 253 individuals along the Brazilian, Uruguayan and Argentine coast. For the mitochondrial DNA analysis, we added sequences previously deposited in GenBank, totalizing 512 sequences. Results obtained based on the two molecular markers revealed a clear differentiation of the species in three main groups: (1) Rio de Janeiro / Espirito Santo, (2) Sao Paulo and north of Santa Catarina, and (3) south of Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, Uruguay and Argentina. The study also shows alarming estimates in reference to the effective size of some populations, mainly from Rio de Janeiro/Espirito Santo which will probably reflect on its conservation status. These results supports the definition of the four management areas (Franciscana Management Area - FMAs) previously suggested by Secchi and associates in 2003, and point out the importance of this definition to the conservation of the genetic diversity of the species.
A toninha, Pontoporia blainvillei é o único representante atual da família de odontocetáceos Pontoporiidae. Esta espécie ocorre ao longo da costa atlântica da América do Sul, entre Itaúnas, Espírito Santo e o Golfo Nuevo, Península Valdés, Argentina. A principal ameaça à espécie são as capturas acidentais em redes de pesca, que em algumas localidades chegaram a atingir o número de 1000 capturas anuais. Nos últimos anos, um número crescente de estudos tem revelado a existência de variações genéticas consideráveis ao longo da distribuição geográfica de P. blainvillei. Visando colaborar para uma melhor compreensão dessa estruturação existente, novas informações moleculares foram analisadas, incluindo o sequenciamento da região controladora do DNA mitocondrial e 11 loci de microssatélites de 253 indivíduos ao longo da costa brasileira, uruguaia e argentina. Para as análises do DNA mitocondrial foram incluidas sequências previamente depositadas no GenBank, totalizando 512 sequências. Os resultados obtidos a partir dos dois marcadores moleculares revelam uma clara diferenciação da espécie em três grupos principais: 1) Rio de Janeiro/Espírito Santo, 2) São Paulo/Paraná e norte de Santa Catarina, e 3) Sul de Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, Uruguai e Argentina. O estudo também apontou estimativas preocupantes no que se refere ao tamanho efetivo de algumas populações, em especial à do Rio de Janeiro/Espirito Santo e consequentemente ao seu status de conservação. Os resultados corroboram a definição das quatro áreas de manejo (Franciscana Management Areas – FMAs) previamente sugeridas por Secchi e colaboradores em 2003, e ressaltam a importância desta definição para a Conservação da diversidade genética da espécie.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to describe and document parentage statements and paired stela found on Maya monuments or portable objects. While the existence of parentage statements, within the Maya text, has been known since the late 1970s, no thesis or major research project has ever been published pertaining to this class of glyphs within the Maya script. In 1977 Christopher Jones is credited with the discovery of parentage statements in Maya hieroglyphic texts (Jones 1977). His discovery was followed by a detailed analysis of parentage statements by Floyd Lounsbury, Peter Mathews, and Linda Schele (1977). They introduced most of the known parentage statements and detailed their use in the hieroglyphic texts. While their work, which introduced parentage statements, in general, is cited regularly as the all-encompassing source of information about parentage statements, it remains unpublished. This thesis provides a source for all new and previous work done on parentage statements and insight into possibly why parentage statements were used by the Classic Maya. An analysis of 253 archaeological sites containing a total of 2473 glyphic monuments was conducted as part of this thesis. Justin Kerr's online vase and photo collections were also checked for parentage statements on portable objects and ceramic vessels. Parentage statements were found on 225 monuments and 70 portable objects bringing the total to 295 different monuments with parentage statements. Each parentage statement is identified and transcribed phonetically. The usage of each parentage statement and its variants are then mapped through time. Also introduced in this thesis is the death of a parent glyph commonly known as the Winged Capped Ajaw Death Phrase. An analysis of its usage demonstrates that it refers to the death of a parent. Paired stelae were analyzed as another possible form of parentage statements. This thesis tests three hypotheses on why parentage statements were used. They included ancestor worship, political legitimacy, and heir designation. The weaknesses and strengths of each hypothesis are demonstrated through case studies. Lastly, the appendices include source material for each site and monument researched as part of this thesis.

A angiotensina II (Ang II), um dos mais relevantes peptídeos angiotensinérgicos, tem um importante papel na fisiologia e na fisiopatologia dos tecidos renal e cardíaco. Existem diversas enzimas capazes de gerar Ang II. Uma delas é a tonina, capaz de formar a Ang II a partir da angiotensina I (Ang I) ou diretamente do AGT. Nosso objetivo foi caracterizar o RAS no rim e no coração do camundongo transgênico que expressa tonina de rato (TGM(rTon)). Foram utilizados camundongos machos C57bl/6 (grupo controle, CT) e camundongos transgênicos [TGM(rTon)]. Vinte e quatro horas após o implante de cânulas, animais acordados, com 12 semanas de idade, foram submetidos a procedimentos de avaliação hemodinâmica. Os dados mostraram que não existem diferenças estatísticas entre os grupos quanto aos parâmetros hemodinâmicos. Após determinação da pressão arterial, os camundongos foram sacrificados por decapitação e os órgãos (rim e coração) foram retirados. O coração foi dividido em átrios (AT) [direito + esquerdo], ventrículo direito (VD) e ventrículo esquerdo (VE). Usando o tetradecapeptídeo sintético como substrato, a atividade tonina foi avaliada nos rins e nas estruturas cardíacas. A atividade da enzima conversora de angiotensina (ECA) foi determinada usando os substratos ZPhe-His-Leu (específico para o domínio N da ECA) e Hip-His-Leu (específico para o domínio C). Tanto a atividade da tonina, quanto da ECA nos rins e no AT foram significantemente maiores no grupo TGM(rTon) quando comparado ao dos camundongos CT. Já entre as estruturas cardíacas o AT mostrou atividade significantemente maior em ambos os grupos, quando comparados aos ventrículos. A expressão da isoforma de 65 kDa da ECA foi significantemente maior no grupo TGM(rTon) nos rins e no AT. Apenas no rim foi analisada a expressão de ECA e não foi observada diferença estatística entre os grupos. As concentrações da angiotensina 1-7 [Ang-(1-7)] e da Ang I foram significantemente diminuídas no grupo TGM(rTon) quando comparadas ao CT. Entretanto, não foi observada diferença estatística nos níveis da Ang II entre os grupos. Sugerimos que o ambiente com abundância em tonina pode aumentar a atividade N-domínio da ECA por meio de uma secretase, explicando os baixos níveis da Ang-(1-7) encontrados no grupo transgênicoPela primeira vez foi mostrado um importante papel fisiológico da tonina comomodulador do SRA renal e cardíaco.
Angiotensin II (Ang II), one of the most relevant angiotensinergic peptides, has an important role in the renal and cardiac physiology. There are many enzymes that generate Ang II. One of them is tonin, that is able to liberate AII from angiotensin I (Ang I) or directly from angiotensinogen (AGT). Our goal was to characterize the RAS in the kidney and heart of transgenic mouse that express rat tonin [TGM(rTon)]. Twenty-four hours after implantation of cannulas, 12 weeks old awake animals were subjected to hemodynamic evaluation. Data showed no statistical differences for the hemodynamic parameters analyzed between transgenic and the wild-type (control, CT). After that mice were sacrificed by decapitation and their organs (kidney and heart) removed. Heart was separated into atria [right plus left (AT)], right ventricle (RV), and left ventricle (LV)]. Using the synthetic tetradecapeptide renin substrate, tonin activity was evaluated in the kidney and cardiac structures. The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity was determined using the substrates Z-Phe- His-Leu (specific for N-domain ACE active site) and Hip-His-Leu (specific for Cdomain active site). Both the activity of tonin and the ACE, in the kidneys and AT were significantly higher in TGM(rTon) when compared with CT mice. Among the cardiac structures AT showed significantly greater activity in both groups when compared to the ventricles.The expression of the 65 kDa ACE isoform was significantly higher in TGM(rTon) in the kidney and AT when compared with CT. ACE2 expression was determined only in the kidney and there was not statistic differences between groups. The levels of angiotensin 1- 7 [Ang-(1-7)] and Ang I was significantly decreased in TGM(rTon) when compared with CT. However, the levels of Ang II were not statistically different between groups. We suggest that the environment of tonin abundance may increase N-domain ACE activity by a secretase activity, which could explain the low levels of Ang-(1-7) in the transgenic animal. Our data show, for the first time, the physiologic role of tonin as an important modulator of renal and cardiac RAS.

Abstract:
Bakgrund I Sverige sker en ökning av Cannabis bruk bland tonåringar. Rapporter uttrycker oro över att tonåringar kommer att bli beroende. Bakom varje tonåring finns anhöriga, föräldrar eller syskon, som kan utveckla ett medberoende. Medberoende personer låter sig ofta styras av personen som missbrukar och tappar därför många gånger fokus på sig själv och sitt eget välbefinnande. Genom livsvärldsteorin betonas människans upplevelser och erfarenheter i hennes dagliga liv. Om livsvärldsperspektivet används i vården blir inriktningen på de anhörigas perspektiv naturligt för vårdpersonalen och de anhörigas situation och behov uppmärksammas.   Syfte Syftet är att belysa anhörigas upplevelser av att leva med en missbrukande tonåring.   Metod Genom en forskningsöversikt redovisar studien det nuvarande kunskapsläget om hur anhöriga upplever det att leva med en missbrukande tonåring. Sammanlagt 14 artiklar har kritiskt granskat och därefter analyserats och sammanställts till ett resultat i enlighet med Forsberg och Wengströms (2008) beskrivning.   Resultat Föräldrar till missbrukande tonåringar förnekar många gånger tidiga tecken på missbruksproblematik och inser inte allvaret förrän problemet är väl etablerat. Föräldrar skuldbelägger sig själva för sina barns problem och upplever ofta skam till följd av samhällets dömande åsikter. Missbrukaren får ett förändrat beteende och livsstil. Stöld och hot förekommer både inom och utanför familjen. Syskon påverkas av missbrukarens beteende och upplever ilska och rädsla. Många gånger hamnar syskon i skymundan för missbrukaren och deras behov kommer ofta i andrahand. Missbruksproblematiken inverkar på hela familjen och resulterar ofta i upplevelser av stress, isolering och förstörda familjerelationer.   Slutsats Anhöriga upplever skuld, skam, rädsla, sorg och lidande i vardagen med den missbrukande tonåringen, med försämrad livskvalitet och hälsa som följd. Vården måste uppmärksamma anhörigas livssituation och erbjuda vård och stöd för att hjälpa denna utsatta grupp. Forskning kring ämnet har visat sig vara mycket begränsad och behöver därför kompletteras ytterligare.

Syfte Att undersöka vilken information unga vuxna med epilepsi samt deras föräldrar har fått och vilka förväntningar de har i samband med överflyttningen mellan barn- och vuxenneurologen.    Metod Tvärsnittsstudie med deskriptiv och jämförande design där en kvantitativ metod användes, specifikt två strukturerade enkäter för att analysera svaren i enkäterna från de två grupperna. Nitton unga vuxna med epilepsi från barnsjukhuset på Akademiska sjukhuset inkluderades samt 19 föräldrar.   Resultat Resultatet visar att unga vuxna med epilepsi, samt deras föräldrar, tycker att det är viktigt att få information om epilepsi. Mer än hälften av unga vuxna med epilepsi tycker sig fått ganska mycket eller tillräckligt med information. Detta gäller även deras föräldrar. Däremot tyckte 63 % av föräldrarna att de behöver mer information jämfört med 26 % av de unga vuxna med epilepsi. Båda grupperna förväntar sig att en epilepsisjuksköterska är med vid nybesöket samt att informationssamtal erbjuds i samband med överflyttningen från barn- till vuxenneurologen.   Slutsats Slutsatsen är att unga vuxna med epilepsi samt deras föräldrar förväntar sig att epilepsisjuksköterska är med vid nybesöket samt att informationssamtal erbjuds i samband med överflyttningen från barn- till vuxenneurologen.

Abstract:
To understand how the brain functions and what disruptions underlie neurological diseases and disorders, analytical methods are needed that can succeed in the complexity of the native brain environment. To make a measurement in functioning, live tissue, these methods must be selective for specific analytes in a matrix that has over 1000 different chemical species, be able to measure chemical changes on multiple timescales (10-3 s to 104 s), have a high spatial resolution (μm), and be sensitive (pM to μM). The work described within, details the development and application of a voltammetric method, fast-scan controlled adsorption voltammetry (FSCAV) that is capable of monitoring baseline levels of serotonin and dopamine, as well as monitoring changes on multiple time scales with high sensitivity and selectivity. Because FSCAV is performed using a carbon-fiber microelectrode, the same sensor can be used for fast-scan cyclic voltammetry to monitor rapid (phasic) changes of dopamine and serotonin in the extracellular space. Thus a single-sensor strategy for measuring tonic and phasic concentrations of these important neurotransmitters is developed and used to elucidate important insight into the differences of serotonin and dopamine regulation. Additionally it is revealed that dopamine exhibits a coaction between tonic and phasic signaling where serotonin does not. Using this approach, a method for evaluating pain processing in a preclinical model is developed, which reveals an important relationship between chronic pain and dopamine signaling. Furthermore, a mathematical model to describe mass-transport limited adsorption is developed and used to determine the diffusion coefficient of both dopamine and serotonin in situ. The work described within details an important advancement in neuroanalytical methodology that will provide new insights both short-term and long-term for studying fundamental chemical mechanisms of neurotransmission.

Abstract:
While jazz has become more integrated into academia, the repertoire that is commonly examined is out of date. Today's leading jazz scholars tend to focus on a handful of musicians who made their mark in the '50s and '60s. But jazz writing has continued to evolve in the last fifty years, particularly in regards to harmony. Though many rooted chords—including MM7, mm7, and Mm7—can be heard in succession, the relationships between adjacent chords are obscure, and rarely manifest the standard II–V–I progression found in classic jazz. Often, successive chords belong to different diatonic sets. Some composers have eliminated chord symbols from their lead sheets altogether, leaving harmonic interpretation and relationships even more open-ended. Since the inception of modal jazz in the late '50s, priority has been given to groups of notes and the ways that they can interact, as opposed to specific chords, keys, and function. This presents a challenge not only for harmonic analysis but also for improvising on these changes in performance. Nevertheless, pitch-class organization can often be heard to promote a hierarchical ranking amongst the chords, resulting in strong points of reference. This dissertation develops and applies a theory of referential sets, for analyzing and improvising over representative examples of chromatic chord successions found in some contemporary jazz. By treating pitch-classes outside the collection as alterations, this theory provides a way to hear successions of seemingly unrelated chords as derived from such collections, which are in turn supported by global referential tonics. This is analogous to traditional, hierarchical ways of hearing secondary dominants and other chromaticism, but with different restrictions on the types of alterations allowed. It therefore describes more variegated progressions, and also allows referential sets to be different and larger than diatonic sets, while still providing the traditional benefits of harmonic analysis, such as the identification of continuities, recurring patterns of root successions, cadences, and other formal processes and relations that remain paramount in much of today's jazz writing.

Abstract:
Pontoporia blainvillei é o golfinho mais ameaçado do oceano Atlântico sul ocidental devido à intensa mortalidade acidental durante atividades pesqueiras. A alta taxa de captura de indivíduos com menos de três anos de idade sugere a imaturidade funcional no uso da ecolocalização. Neste trabalho é utilizado o diagnóstico por imagem a partir de tomografias computadorizadas (n=2) e ressonâncias magnéticas (n=3), bem como dissecações de cabeças frescas (n=4) obtidas a partir de animais acidentalmente capturados em redes de pesca, para investigar as mudanças ontogenéticas das estruturas envolvidas na produção e recepção de ondas sonoras para o comportamento de ecolocalização. Ainda, uma análise comparativa de uma série ontogenética de 69 sincrânios foi realizada para elucidar uma relação entre osteologia e as estruturas moles do biosonar (musculatura facial, passagem nasal e gorduras especializadas), bem como descrever as transformações da mandíbula ao longo do desenvolvimento. A tomografia computadorizada fornece uma sequência de cortes (slices) com 1 mm de espessura nos planos sagital, coronal e axial, sendo cada pixel de qualquer plano interligado nos três planos. Assim, com o auxílio do programa Materialise © Mimics torna-se possível a manipulação e quantificação (volume, superfície e densidade) das estruturas analisadas em ambiente tridimensional (3D). Os indivíduos analisados revelaram a alta variabilidade morfológica que as toninhas apresentam na forma do biosonar ao longo da ontogenia, e as distintas taxas de desenvolvimento entre estruturas de mesmo aparato funcional (aparato produtor e receptor de sons de alta frequência). A formação da Bursae cantantes e do osso maxilar, por exemplo, apresentam distintas taxas de desenvolvimento em sua forma e são importantes estruturas para a funcionalidade do aparato produtor do som. O complexo timpano-periótico representa a estrutura que se desenvolve mais precocemente; ao contrário da mandíbula, que até a fase adulta apresenta sinais de não maturação da estrutura. À luz da vasto conhecimento a respeito da história de vida da espécie ao longo de sua distribuição, como a biologia alimentar e reprodutiva, são discutidos não só para relacionar as modificações do biosonar com a crescente capacidade de explorar a diversidade de presas no ambiente ao longo da ontogenia, mas como a ontogenia pode interferir no sucesso adaptativo da espécie visto sua história evolutiva. O conhecimento das modificações na ontogenia do biosonar em Pontoporia blainvillei pode ajudar na compreensão das limitações do seu uso por indivíduos imaturos e gerar subsídios para a conservação da espécie.

Resumo: Toninho Horta é compositor, guitarrista, violonista e arranjador, nascido em Belo Horizonte, em 1948. Projetou-se como instrumentista e compositor em âmbito nacional a partir do final década de 1960, acompanhando artistas da música popular brasileira em shows e gravações e tendo suas composições gravadas por outros intérpretes. Destacou-se como integrante do "Clube da Esquina", formado por um grupo de artistas que atuavam ao lado de Milton Nascimento ao longo da década de 1970, e a partir de 1980, lançou-se em carreira solo, com a gravação de seu primeiro disco autoral, TERRA DOS PÁSSAROS. Horta possui uma linguagem musical particular e é reconhecido internacionalmente por seus atributos como compositor e instrumentista. Este trabalho apresenta um estudo sobre sua obra, a partir da análise das composições de seu primeiro disco solo, TERRA DOS PÁSSAROS, gravado entre 1976 e 1979 e lançado em 1980. Este álbum foi gravado de maneira independente, com liberdade artística, e traz uma síntese de suas composições mais conhecidas e mais gravadas. Através do estudo analítico das músicas deste disco e do contexto histórico que o envolvia, procuramos pontuar as características que demarcam as composições de Horta, levando em consideração que os anos 1970 foram um de seus momentos de mais intensa produtividade artística e que, não por acaso, correspondeu a um período de grande efervescência vivido pela canção popular brasileira. Paralelamente, este trabalho percorre a atuação musical de Horta, desde o início de sua trajetória musical até o lançamento de seu disco inaugural, relacionando-a com os distintos momentos históricos vividos pela música popular brasileira, buscando, assim, uma melhor compreensão das características que configuram seu estilo composicional.
Abstract: Toninho Horta is a composer, acoustic guitar and electric guitar player and arranger born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, in 1948. In the late 1960s, Horta became famous nationwide as an instrumentalist, accompanying Brazilian artists in concerts and recordings. His music was recorded by other artists. Horta became widely known as a member of "Clube da Esquina", a group of artists that played together with Milton Nascimento in the 1970s. Horta began his solo career in the 1980s with the recording of his first album, TERRA DOS PÁSSAROS. Horta has a very peculiar musical language and is acknowledged worldwide for his technique as composer and instrumentalist. This thesis is a study on Horta's work, based on the analysis of the compositions of his first solo album, TERRA DOS PÁSSAROS, recorded between 1976 and 1979 and released in 1980. This album was recorded independently, with artistic freedom and is a summary of his most famous and recorded songs. The characteristics of Horta's compositions are brought about through the analytical study of the songs and the historical context involving them, considering that 1970s were Horta's most productive years and a very effervescent period in terms of Brazilian popular music. Moreover, this study assesses Horta's musical activities and their relationship with the history of Brazilian popular music, from the beginning of his career to the release of his first album, in order to further understand the characteristics that are part of his songwriting style.

Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei) is the only extant representative of the Pontoporiidae family. This species occurs along the Atlantic coast of South America from Itaunas, Espirito Santo in Brazil to Golfo Nuevo, Valdes Peninsula in Argentina. The most important threat to the species is the accidental by-catch that in some places reached the number of 1000 related events per year. In recent years an increasingly number of studies had revealed the existence of considerable genetic variation along the geographical distribution of P. blainvillei. In this study, looking to collaborate towards a better comprehension of such existing structure, we analyzed new molecular data, including the sequencing of mitochondrial DNA control region and 11 microsatellite loci from 253 individuals along the Brazilian, Uruguayan and Argentine coast. For the mitochondrial DNA analysis, we added sequences previously deposited in GenBank, totalizing 512 sequences. Results obtained based on the two molecular markers revealed a clear differentiation of the species in three main groups: (1) Rio de Janeiro / Espirito Santo, (2) Sao Paulo and north of Santa Catarina, and (3) south of Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, Uruguay and Argentina. The study also shows alarming estimates in reference to the effective size of some populations, mainly from Rio de Janeiro/Espirito Santo which will probably reflect on its conservation status. These results supports the definition of the four management areas (Franciscana Management Area - FMAs) previously suggested by Secchi and associates in 2003, and point out the importance of this definition to the conservation of the genetic diversity of the species.
