Liber Pater’s worship is especially conspicuous in the Danubian provinces of the Roman Empire. This paper tries to specify the implantation and function of this cult in these provinces, emphasizing...

Resumen El acaro rojo Dermanyssus gallinae afecta las producciones avicolas, principalmente de ponedoras, al alimentarse de su sangre. Su control se realiza a través de acaricidas químicos, hacia los cuales aumenta su resistencia. Se evaluo la actividad acaricida de aceite esencial (ae) de cilantro (Coriandrum sativum) a concentraciones de 1, 2 y 3 mg/cm2 a través de bioensayos por contacto sobre adultos de D. gallinae y se comparo con un acaricida químico (Neguvon*). Los ácaros fueron colectados de aves (Gallus gallus L.) de traspatio. Se realizaron seis repeticiones por tratamiento. Estadísticamente, se determinaron los porcentajes de mortalidad y se calculó el anova. Se estableció el porcentaje de la actividad letal. Se estimo la CL50 y el TL50. El ae de cilantro causo el 100 % de mortalidad sobre la población de D. gallinae a los 25 min después del contacto con una concentración de 2 y 3 mg/cm2 y a los 30 min con una concentración de 1 mg/cm2. La CL50 del ae de cilantro fue de 1,3 mg /cm2, con un TL50 de 13 min sobre la población de D. gallinae. Se sugiere el aceite esencial de cilantro C. sativum como una alternativa a los acaricidas químicos para el control del acaro rojo de aves D. gallinae. Abstract The red mite Dermanyssus gallinae affects poultry production mainly of laying hens by feeding on its blood. Its control is carried out using chemical acaricides, toward which its resistance increases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acaricidal activity of essential oil (eo) of coriander (Coriandrum sativum) at concentrations of 1, 2 and 3 mg/cm2 through contact bioassays on adults of D. gallinae, compared to a chemical acaricide (Neguvon*). The mites were collected from backyard hens (Gallus gallus L.). Six replicates were performed per treatment. Statistically, mortality percentages were established and an anova was carried out. The lethal activity percentage was established. Additionally, the median lethal concentration (LC50) and the median lethal time (TL50) were estimated. Coriander eo caused 100 % mortality on D. gallinae population 25 min after contact with a concentration of 2 and 3 mg/cm2 and after 30 min with a lower concentration of 1 mg/cm2. The LC50 of the coriander eo was 1.3 mg/cm2, with a 13 min TL50 on the D. gallinae population. The eo of coriander is suggested as an alternative to be used instead of the chemical acaricides for the control of the red poultry mite D. gallinae.

Gegenstand des Forschungsprojekts sind Staaten und ihr Habitus. Anhand von ausgewählten Webseiten von Deutschland, Österreich und den Niederlanden wird ihre visuelle Selbstdarstellung mittels eines speziell dafür entwickelten quantitativ-qualitativen Analysevorschlags für die Erfassung und Untersuchung von visuellen Bildinhalten im Internet analysiert. Die Grundlage hierfür bilden die visuelle Inhaltsanalyse und die dokumentarische Bildinterpretation. Anhand der quantitativen Bildanalyse wird untersucht, welche Darstellungs- und Visualisierungsstrategien auf den Webseiten der Staaten verfolgt werden. Mittels der qualitativen Bildanalyse wird herausgearbeitet, welche Homologien und Heterologien zwischen den Habitus der Staaten bestehen und welche Werte und Botschaften durch die veröffentlichten Bildinhalte an Rezipienten kommuniziert werden. Theoretische Erläuterungen zum Habitus- und Bildbegriff und zu Methodenkombinationen in der empirischen Forschung gehen den Untersuchungen voraus.

Background The earliest white matter changes in Huntington’s disease are seen before disease onset in the premanifest stage around the striatum, within the corpus callosum, and in posterior white matter tracts. While experimental evidence suggests that these changes may be related to abnormal gene transcription, we lack an understanding of the biological processes driving this regional vulnerability. Methods Here, we investigate the relationship between regional transcription in the healthy brain, using the Allen Institute for Brain Science transcriptome atlas, and regional white matter connectivity loss at three time points over 24 months in subjects with premanifest Huntington’s disease relative to control participants. The baseline cohort included 72 premanifest Huntington’s disease participants and 85 healthy control participants. Results We show that loss of corticostriatal, interhemispheric, and intrahemispheric white matter connections at baseline and over 24 months in premanifest Huntington’s disease is associated with gene expression profiles enriched for synaptic genes and metabolic genes. Corticostriatal gene expression profiles are predominately associated with motor, parietal, and occipital regions, while interhemispheric expression profiles are associated with frontotemporal regions. We also show that genes with known abnormal transcription in human Huntington’s disease and animal models are overrepresented in synaptic gene expression profiles, but not in metabolic gene expression profiles. Conclusions These findings suggest a dual mechanism of white matter vulnerability in Huntington’s disease, in which abnormal transcription of synaptic genes and metabolic disturbance not related to transcription may drive white matter loss.

The date traditionally accepted for the death of the Younger Pliny is far from being sufficiently proven and answers to deductions done from the form of the imperial titulature of the inscription that contains a part of the testament of the writer. There adds the fact of the apparent silence of his correspondence during the last part of his government in Bithynia. These facts that seem to be coherent between them cannot be, in our opinion, considered as an irrefutable test, since they can have be caused by other factors, and Pliny’s death probably should be placed in a slightly later moment.
