Exploring a wide variety of visualizations of pregnancy and fetuses through 300 years of history, this timely volume offers a fresh look at the influential feminist concept of the "public fetus."Images of pregnant and fetal bodies are today visible everywhere. Through ultrasound screenings at maternity clinics, birth videos on social media platforms, or antiabortion propaganda, visualizations of p

The phenomenon of increasing correlation between asset returns in economic downturns will be investigated with two different approaches and tried to be explained by different macroeconomic variables. The first approach, namely the classic method of measuring correlation with time series is contrasted with an extended method of cross-sectional correlation measurement proposed by Solnik (2000). The

Protein homeostasis in cells, proteostasis, is maintained through several integrated processes and pathways and its dysregulation may mediate pathology in many diseases including Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Oxidative stress, heat shock proteins, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and its response, i.e. unfolded protein response (UPR), play key roles in proteostasis but their involvement in t

Lymphocytes from human peripheral blood have been separated by countercurrent distribution in a charged aqueous two-phase system composed of Dextran T 500 and polyethylene glycol 6000 with a cell yield of 59–88% and viability above 90%. A highly reproducible partition pattern was seen with four distinct peaks. Lymphocytes with surface membrane immunoglobulin (SmIg) were located in the first part o

Abstract Biocatalysis is considered as benign and efficient alternative to chemical catalysis for organic syntheses. Lipases are the most versatile biological catalysts implemented so far with great potential for production of different chemicals and materials in non-conventional reaction media. This thesis presents investigations on lipase catalyzed esterification and transesterification reaction

Introduction: Severe asthma is a heterogeneous condition characterized by distinct phenotypes and endotypes based on clinical or biological characteristics. Interleukin (IL) 4 and IL-13 are central cytokines in the type 2 (T2) immune response, crucial for T2 inflammation. Biologic therapies targeting the IL-4/IL-13 pathway, such as anti-IL-4Rα monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), have shown improvements

From the point of view of semiotics, the essential contribution of John Deely consists in having made us all aware of the richness of the Scholastic heritage, and to have explained it to us latter-day semioticians. Even for those, who, like the present author, think that semiotics was alive and well between the dawn of the Latin Age, and the rediscovery of Scholastic realism by Peirce, the notions
