Abstract
Linear functions are a material in economic mathematics that is often used in solving economic problems. In economic mathematics, linear functions are used as demand functions and supply functions. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of the demand function and supply function on market balance. The method used in this research is literature study. The results obtained are: (1) Market balance occurs when the supply function is the same as the demand function (2) The demand function and supply function are very influential in determining market balance. When you want to determine market balance, this is done by entering the equation of the demand function and also the supply function with the mathematical formula Qd = Qs or Pd = Ps (3) The rise and fall of supply and demand affects the market equilibrium price and quantity.

Keywords: Linear Functions, demand functions, supply functions, market balance, influence

Spectatorship, Dead Bodies, and Medical Discourses in <i>Celestina</i>
Authors: Sánchez y Sánchez Samuel 
Published: January 2024

This article examines the intersection of spectatorship, literary imagination, and medical discourse as they converge in Celestina. The representation of dead bodies in this text projects Rojas’ work into early modernity as a literary forerunner of the anatomical discourse that scrutinizes the interior of the body and which would not emerge in the Iberian Peninsula until the 1540s. Drawing on Visual Studies, Body Studies, and Literary Studies, the present essay interrogates the notion of the gaze and the representation of cadavers in Celestina as a transgressive narrative that in 1499 tests the boundaries between real and metaphorical anatomies. From this perspective, Rojas’ literary imagination vis à vis the shift from a medieval to a pre-modern medical gaze inform a post-medieval understanding of the concept of the dead body at the dawn of modernity in Iberia.

Published: January 2024

Aim: Application of UV-C light to reduce the post-processing surface contamination and to extend the shelf-life of paneer
Study Design: The study was aimed for 3×4 factorial design and the paneer samples were exposed to UV-C light for 60, 120 and 180 seconds and studied for its surface decontamination bymicrobiological studies and effect on sensory properties using 9-point hedonic scale after 3, 6 and 9, days of storage in a refrigerated conditions.
Place and Duration of Study: Karnataka Veterinary Animal and Fisheries Sciences University (KVAFSU), Dairy Science College, Mahagaon Cross, Kalaburagi, Karnataka, India
Methodology: A standard method was followed for the preparation of paneer. The paneer samples were treated with UV-C light in a UV chamber. Further, the samples were analysed for its Total Bacterial Count (TBC), Yeast and Moulds, and Coliform count, and sensory attributes such as flavour, colour and appearance, body and texture, and overall acceptability on a 9-point hedonic scale. The sensory evaluation of the sample was carried out by a panel of minimum 10 semi-trained judges who are well acquainted with the product features.
Results: The effect of varied exposure time of UV-C light and after storage days for a specific period was studied on the level of destruction of microbial-count and effect on the sensory characteristics. There was a significant (P=0.05) difference between the treated and non-treated samples in their microbial-count., and a log scale reduction in the bacterial and yeast and mould count on the surface by the effect of UV-C light was observed. The overall acceptability score for UV-C treated and non-treated sample was 8.36 and 8.10 at 0th day, and 7.02 and 5.65 after 9 days, respectively. Hence, the result was comparable to that of non-treated paneer.
Conclusion: The chemical-free and cost-effective UV-C treatment for surface decontamination of microorganisms could be a viable technique to extend the shelf-life of paneer.
Recommendation: Combination of other non-thermal techniques with UV-C light and with different packaging method could be studied to enhance the keeping quality.
Regulation of bone resorption and osteoclast survival by nitric oxide: Possible involvement of NMDA‐receptor

Published: March 2003

AbstractNitric oxide has been shown to play an important role in regulation of bone resorption. However, the role of endogenous nitric oxide on osteoclast activity remains still controversial. In this work, using RT‐PCR amplification, we demonstrated that rabbit mature osteoclasts express mRNA encoding for neuronal nitric oxide synthase suggesting that this enzyme could be involved in basal nitric oxide production in these cells. Then we assessed the effect of carboxy‐PTIO, a nitric oxide scavenger, on in vitro bone resorption and osteoclast survival. Carboxy‐PTIO (10–100 μM) inhibited osteoclastic bone resorption in a dose dependent manner and induced osteoclast apoptosis by a mechanism involving caspase 3 activation. These results suggest that basal concentration of endogenous nitric oxide may be essential for normal bone resorption by supporting osteoclast survival. Because osteoclasts express N‐methyl‐d‐aspartate‐receptor (NMDA‐R), we hypothesized that in osteoclasts NMDA‐R may be involved in nitric oxide production as in neuronal cells. We confirmed that blockade of NMDA‐R with specific non‐competitive antagonists, MK801 and DEP, strongly inhibited bone resorption. As for carboxy‐PTIO, we showed that blockade of NMDA‐R by both antagonists induced osteoclast apoptosis in a dose dependent manner by a mechanism dependent on caspase 3 activation. Intracellular calcium concentration in osteoclasts decreased within minutes in the presence of both antagonists. Finally, MK801‐induced osteoclast apoptosis was partially reversed in the presence of small amount of SNAP (100 nM), a nitric oxide donor, suggesting that the effect of NMDA‐R on osteoclast apoptotic cell death could be due to a decrease in nitric oxide production. Taken together, our results are consistent with the hypothesis that NMDA‐R on osteoclasts could have a similar function as those in neuronal cells, i.e., to allow a calcium influx, which in turn activates a constitutive neuronal nitric oxide synthase. Nitric oxide generated by this pathway may be essential for osteoclast survival and hence for normal bone resorption. J. Cell. Biochem. 88: 1145–1156, 2003. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Breast cancer gene 1 (BRCA1): Role in cell cycle regulation and DNA repair—perhaps through transcription
Authors: Somasundaram Kumaravel 
Published: March 2003

AbstractMutations of BRCA1 gene are associated with more than half the cases of hereditary breast cancer. Breast cancer formation in BRCA1 mutation carriers is generally accompanied by loss of the wild‐type allele, suggesting that BRCA1 protein may function as a tumor suppressor. The human BRCA1 gene encodes a nuclear protein of 1863 amino acids. Although several lines of evidences suggest that BRCA1 protein may have a role to play in cell cycle regulation, DNA repair, and other processes, the exact mechanism of functioning by BRCA1 protein is not clear. Recent evidences from several laboratories suggest that BRCA1 may regulate the expression of many genes like p21WAF1/CIP1, Gadd45, Cyclin B1, DBB2, XPC, 14‐3‐3ó and others at the level of transcription. These BRCA1‐regulated gene products have been implicated directly or indirectly in cell cycle regulation and DNA repair. Thus a plausible model is proposed in which BRCA1 protein may bring its effects on cell cycle and DNA repair through its ability to modulate gene expression at the level of transcription. J. Cell.

VLA‐4 antagonists: Potent inhibitors of lymphocyte migration
Authors: Yang Ginger X. , Hagmann William K. 
Published: March 2003

AbstractCirculating lymphocytes normally migrate through extravascular spaces in relatively low numbers as important members of the immunosurveillance process. That is until signals are received by endothelial cells that there is an underlying infection or inflammatory condition. These vascular surface cells in turn overexpress and present ligands to circulating lymphocyte adhesion molecules. Upon encountering this higher density of ligands, lymphocytes, which had been leisurely rolling along the vascular surface, now become more firmly attached, change shape, and migrate through tight junctions to the sites of infection or inflammation. If the initiating events are not resolved and the condition becomes chronic, there can be a sustained extravasation of lymphocytes that can exacerbate the inflammatory condition, which in turn will continue to recruit more inflammatory cells resulting in unwanted tissue destruction. It is for the attenuation of this cycle of sustained inflammatory cell recruitment that very late activating antigen‐4 (VLA‐4) antagonists are being developed. Most lymphocytes, except neutrophils, express VLA‐4 on their surface and they interact with endothelial vascular cell adhesion molecule‐1 (VCAM‐1). It is this interaction that VLA‐4 antagonists are intended to disrupt, thus, putting an end to the cycle of chronic inflammation, which is the hallmark of many diseases. This review will provide an update of VLA‐4 antagonists that have appeared since early 2001 and will discuss some of the issues, both positive and negative, that may be encountered in their development. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Objective—The intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1/CD54) and its ligand, CD11a/CD18, mediate endothelial adhesion of leukocytes and their consecutive transmigration. Anti-inflammatory effects of statins are considered to be exerted in part through inhibition of leukocyte–endothelial interactions. We investigated the in vivo effects of simvastatin treatment in hypercholesterolemic patients and the influence of various statins on expression of cellular adhesion molecules in vitro.Methods and Results—A total number of 107 hypercholesterolemic patients were treated with 20 mg (n=52) or 40 mg (n=55) of simvastatin daily. After 6 weeks of treatment, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) expressed lower amounts of CD54-, CD18-, and CD11a-mRNA compared with pretreatment values. Surface expression of CD54 and CD18/CD11a on CD14+-monocytes also decreased significantly in both groups of patients. Moreover, simvastatin, atorvastatin, and cerivastatin were found to downregulate tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α–induced expression of CD54 and CD18/CD11a in isolated PBMCs obtained from normal donors as well as TNF-α–dependent expression of these CAMs in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Furthermore, all three statins were found to reduce the binding of PBMCs to TNF-α–stimulated HUVECs in vitro.Conclusions—Statin-induced inhibition of expression of CD54 and CD18/CD11a in PBMCs and HUVECs with consecutive loss of adhesive function may contribute to the anti-inflammatory effects of these drugs and some of their beneficial clinical activities.
Genetics and educational psychology
Authors: Plomin Robert , Walker Sheila O. 
Published: March 2003

Background: Molecular genetics, one of the most energetic and exciting areas of science, is slowly but surely coming to educational psychology.Aims: We review recent molecular genetic research on learning disabilities as a sign of things to come in educational psychology. We also consider some misconceptions about genetics that have slowed the acceptance of genetics in educational psychology.Samples: Diverse samples of children with learning disabilities have been studied, primarily in the UK and the USA.Methods: Linkage analysis can detect genes that have large effects on learning disabilities. Association analysis can detect genes of much smaller effect size, which is important because common disorders such as learning disabilities are likely to be influenced by many genes as well as by many environmental factors.Results: For reading disability, replicated linkages have been identified on chromosomes 6, 15 and 18. A gene responsible for a rare type of language impairment has recently been identified. For common language impairment, linkages on chromosomes 16 and 19 have recently been reported. More than 200 genetic disorders, most extremely rare, include mental retardation among their symptoms, and chromosomal abnormalities are a major cause of mental retardation.Conclusions: Although finding specific genes associated with learning disabilities is unlikely to have much of a direct application for teachers in the classroom, such findings will have far‐reaching implications for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of learning disabilities and for research in educational psychology. Educational psychology has been slower to accept evidence for the importance of genetics than other areas of psychology in part because of misconceptions about what it means to say that genetics is important for common complex disorders such as learning disabilities.
