title: U.S. African American Denomonations in Cuba

Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

Subjects: subject: U.S. African American Denomonations in Cuba

description: Currently there are two Protestant traditions in Cuba whose organizational homes are lodged in the African American Christian community ofthe United States. The Mt. Sinai Holy Church and the Progressive National Baptist Convention are two predominately African American U.S. denominations with congregations located on the island. The African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church also had Cuban churches and was the first "Black Church" to organize there. The relationship between U.S. Protestants of African ancestry and AfroCubans is an unspoken, and relatively unknown, international alliance. Isolated from dialogue with Cubans, most contemporary U.S. generations know nothing about links between the two diaspora communities and specifically links by way of Protestantism. Some tend to assume Cubans are White as well as Catholic - or since the 1959 Revolution "atheist." Not only are Cubans largely a brown-skinned people, there are Cuban Protestants-albeit a numerical minority; and at least two African American denominations of the U.S. have had an alliance with their southern kin for fifty years or more.

description: A silica-gel-supported ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN-SiO2) was found to be an effective catalyst for the cascade synthesis of functionalized 3-aryl-3,4-dihydro-1,2,4-benzo- thiadiazine-1,1-dioxides using 2-aminobenzenesulfonamide and benzaldehydes at room temperature. The reaction allows rapid cyclization (10−70 min) with 5 mol% CAN impregnated on silica gel to give the desired products in excellent yield without further column purification. The protocol uses inexpensive and environmentally friendly CAN-SiO2as the catalyst, and no ligand or additive was required. [Supplementary materials are available for this article.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: A new class of diethyl(3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxyphenylamino) (substituted phenyl/heterocyclic) methylphosphonates 4(a–j) has been synthesized by one-pot three component simultaneous reaction (Kabachnik–Fields) of 4-amino-2,6-dibromophenol 1, substituted heterocyclic/phenyl aldehydes 2(a–j), and diethylphosphite 3 using a Lewis acid catalyst, CeCl3·7H2O (5 mol%) under microwave irradiation as well as conventional conditions. It was observed that microwave irradiation method is more facile, efficient, and advantageous with respect to reaction time and yields. The structures of all the synthesized compounds were supported by analyzing IR, 1H/13C/31P NMR, and mass spectral data. The synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
title: Studies on orf virus infections in sheep
Creators: name: Frerichs, GN
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 1980

description: The clinical immune and serologieal responses of a flock of 44 sheep which suffered an outbreak of natural orf infection was monitored over a period of one year. Animals were shown to be almost solidly resistant to experimental reinfection of the mouth with a heterologous strain of orf virus up to one year after the outbreak. All animals tested were, however at least partially susceptible to infection of the thigh within one month of recovery from disease. Full susceptibility appeared to be regained within a year. Lambs born to recovered ewes one year after the outbreak were uniformly fully susceptible to experimental mouth infection, but the ewes remained resistant to udder infection while nursing the infected lambs. Most, but not all, sheep developed precipitating antibodies in association with the outbreak of disease. An antigen of high potency was required to detect such antibodiea, the presence of which fluctuated in individual animals during the monitoring period. Results also varied with the use of antigens prepared from different strains of orf or milker's nodule virus. Using a plaque-reduction assay, some sheep were found to develop low levels of serum neutralising antibodies, either in association with the outbreak of disease or following experimental reinfection. There was no correlation between the severity of clinical lesions and susceptibility to subsequent challenge infection of mouth or thigh and the development of precipitating or serum neutralising antibodies. Precipitating and serum neutralizing antibodies also appeared to develop independently of each other and were not passively transferred from ewe to lamb to any significant extant. Sheep vaccinated by thigh scarification were in most cases susceptible to reinfection within one month. Precipitating and serum neutralizing antibodies were detected after one or two revaccinations. In agar-gel diffusion tests, five strains of orf virus appeared antigenically identical. Orf and milker's nodule viruses were similarly indistinguishable and both were very closely related to bovine popular stomatitis virus.

description: The synthesis and characterization of a new palladium(II) complex [Pd(MePhPzTSC)2] and its corresponding ligand 3-methylpyrazole-4-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (MePhPzTSC) are described. The bidentate ligand is coordinated to Pd(II) through the azomethine nitrogen atoms and sulfur in the form of thiol by deprotonation of the NH-C = S. The antimicrobial activity of these new compounds was evaluated against gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus thuringiensis) bacteria and two yeast strains (Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Coordination of the ligand to the metallic ion showed improved antimicrobial activity compared to the free ligand. For the gram-positive bacteria the antimicrobial activity of the complex was higher than that of the positive control used. [Supplemental materials are available for this article.

description: ABSTRACTThe present study was performed to assess drinking water quality and potential health risk in the Nowshera District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. For this purpose drinking water samples were collected from local available sources and analyzed for physico-chemical characteristics, arsenic (As) and heavy metals. Results revealed high levels of toxic heavy metals such as chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and As contaminations in the drinking water. Results were evaluated for chronic risk including average daily intake (ADI) and hazard quotient (HQ). Among heavy metals the HQ values were highest for Cd (5.80) and As (2.00). Therefore, populations in the study area may be at a low level of chronic toxicity and carcinogenic risk. Statistical analyses showed that contribution of different drinking water sources to the mean contaminant levels in the study area was insignificant (p =.53). Correlation analysis further revealed that anthropogenic activities were the main sources of contamination, rather than geogenic. This study strongly recommends the treatment of urban and industrial wastewater in the vicinity of the study area and provision of safe drinking water.

description: This study uses citation analysis from two citation tracking databases, Google Scholar (GS) and ISI Web of Science, in order to test the correlation between them and examine the effect of the number of paper versions on citations. The data were retrieved from the Essential Science Indicators and Google Scholar for 101 highly cited papers from Malaysia in the field of engineering. An equation for estimating the citation in ISI based on Google scholar is offered. The results show a significant and positive relationship between both citation in Google Scholar and ISI Web of Science with the number of versions. This relationship is higher between versions and ISI citations (r = 0.395, p<0.01) than between versions and Google Scholar citations (r = 0.315, p<0.01). Free access to data provided by Google Scholar and the correlation to get ISI citation which is costly, allow more transparency in tenure reviews, funding agency and other science policy, to count citations and analyze scholars’ performance more precisely.
CULTURAL BRAND AS A MANIFESTATION OF CONTEMPORANEITY IN THE MANAGEMENT THEORY
Creators: name: Komańda, Marcin
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2014
Subjects: Economics

description: From the point of view of the purpose of this paper its introduction should draw attention to the most commonly recognized aspect of contemporaneity (also referred to as postmodernism or late modernity) in economics, namely the process of globalisation for it is necessary to dispose of the still persisting common belief that the current process of globalisation concerns, first and foremost, the expansion of business activity from a geographic perspective. It is not entirely true. Globalisation understood as a phenomenon of territorial expansion occurred together with geographic discoveries and conquering of the so called overseas territories by European powers. It was then when spreading trade relations and flow of people all around the globe became popular. It is also a fact that globalisation from the perspective of geographic expansion of business activity in the 20th century displayed twofold acceleration. The first acceleration was observed after the end of World War Two when the markets of former European colonies were opened up, whereas the second one - at the end of the 20th century along with the collapse of the Eastern Bloc. Therefore globalisation as a socio-economic phenomenon is not characteristic only for recent times. However, nowadays another character of globalisation is being mindfully suggested as well. Liberalization and integration of markets of goods, services and capital are described in this context. Liberalization and integration cause, in turn, the formation of a new institutional order which favours flow of products, services and money. In fact, territorial expansion of business activity itself is something that has been to a large extent completed. However, its quality has become its major problem. This new economic view of the process of globalisation is also closely accompanied by globalisation from the social perspective.

description: Although some polyphenols are known to possess anticancer activity against different cancer cell lines through induction of apoptosis, the mode of antiproliferative effect of ethyl gallate against human oral squamous carcinoma cell line KB was not studied until now. Therefore, the antiproliferative effect of ethyl gallate was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay in comparison with the reference drug paclitaxel. Generation of reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial membrane potential loss, DNA damage and apoptosis were determined using 2,7-diacetyldichlorofluorescein fluorescence, uptake of rhodamine-123 by mitochondria, comet assay and acridine orange/ethidium bromide dual-dye staining method. Both ethyl gallate and paclitaxel exhibited cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner. The 50% inhibitory concentration for ethyl gallate was 30 and 20 μg/mL for paclitaxel. A volume of 50 μg/mL of ethyl gallate was found to be significantly effective (P

description: This geological map at the 1:10,000 scale shows the structural setting of two poly-deformed metaophiolite units, with different metamorphic peak conditions, i.e. the blueschist facies Montenotte Unit and the eclogite facies Voltri Unit, in a selected area of 8.2 km2 within the Ligurian Alps (northern Italy). This study focuses on the tectonic contact between the two tectono-metamorphic units and on their relationships with the Oligocene sediments of the Tertiary Piedmont Basin. The map is a composite report of our field and laboratory study of structures and metamorphism, that explains our interpretation of the tectonic history of the study area. It shows that the two units were coupled during their exhumation path, along a blueschist facies mylonitic contact. This contact has been later involved in thrust faults that caused the superposition of the metamorphic basement on top of the Oligocene sediments.

description: Anti-quorum sensing activity of the diterpene phytol was evaluated in vitro for the first time. This compound (at three sub-MIC concentrations – 0.5, 0.25 and 0.125 MIC, respectively) reduced the formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 biofilm in the range of 74.00–84.33% exhibiting higher activity than the both positive controls used, streptomycin and ampicillin. Phytol (0.5 MIC) also effectively reduced P. aeruginosa twitching and flagella motility. Indeed, the bacteria treated were incapable of producing a twitching zone and had almost round, smooth and regular colony edges. Finally, the tested compound (0.5 MIC) exhibited good P. aeruginosa pyocyanin inhibitory activity (51.94%) practically to the same extent as streptomycin (52.09%). According to the experimental data obtained, this phytol property may inspire design of medical foods targeting P. aeruginosa quorum sensing activity.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Due to the suburbanisation process, it is becoming more difficult to properly define rural and urban areas in the Czech Republic. This delimitation problem has been intensively studied in Europe, including the Czech Republic, for decades, but only so-called ‘crisp’ rules have been set for the categorisation of urban and rural. This is no longer satisfactory because of substantial population movements. Our research focuses on applying fuzzy set theory to the delimitation of rural and urban areas and on the subsequent advanced cartographic visualisation. We used the principles of fuzzy regulation, or fuzzy inference systems, on socio-economic data to show the transitional character of municipalities. The generated Main map is at scale of 1:500,000, whereas secondary maps are at scale of 1:2,500,000. Map visualisation of municipalities in the Czech Republic provides a very unique combination of geographical information science, cartography and modern geo-computational methods. Information perception via a map is an adequate way to analyse geographic information, and the problem of delimiting rural and urban areas can be suitably visualised using these methods.

description: Firethorn fruits have been used in traditional medicine owing to their diuretic, cardiac and tonic properties. In this study, the antiradical activities and phenolic, phytosterol, lipid-soluble vitamin and fatty acid contents of firethorn fruits were investigated. Antiradical activities of firethorn extracts (ethanol, water, methanol, acetone and diethyl ether) were determined by using DPPH√, ABTS√+ and OH√ radical-scavenging assays. The scavenging activity of the firethorn ethanol, methanol and acetone extracts on ABTS is higher than BHT. The scavenging activity of the firethorn methanol and ethanol extracts on DPPH is higher than BHT. δ-Tocopherol, α-tocopherol, vitamin K, vitamin D, β-sitosterol, ergosterol, stigmasterol, and the major fatty acids linolenic acid and palmitic acid were determined in firethorn. These results indicate that firethorn can be a good source of natural antioxidant owing to the presence of fatty acids, vitamins, phytosterols and phenolic compounds, and antiradical properties. Moreover, this study is the first report about antiradical and phytochemical properties of Pyracantha coccinea fruit extracts.

description: This study has determined oil, fatty acid (FA) and phytosterols content during the ripening of the Tunisian Onopordum acanthium L. seeds. In total, nine FAs and six phytosterols were identified. The main FAs were linoleic acid (0.18–8.06 mg/g of seed) followed by oleic acid (0.051–2.45 mg/g of seed), palmitic acid and stearic acid. Pentadecanoic acid was detected, for the first time, in unripe fruits and the two last stages of development were characterised by a relative abundance of erucic acid. Overall, β-sitosterol (34.5–77.79% of total sterols) was the major 4-desmethylsterols during maturation. The first episodes of growth were characterised by the best amounts of stigmasterol and campesterol, while stigmastanol and Δ7 sitosterol had quoted the semi-ripe and fully ripe fruits; however, cholesterol was absent. These findings are useful in understanding a potential new source of important natural compounds (Phytosterols and USFA) found in this fruit and when harvest should be undertaken to optimise desired FA and phytosterols content.

description: This study was designed to isolate, characterise and explore in vitro antioxidant potential of compounds from the chloroform extract of Cedrus deodara wood belonging to Pinacae family. We have investigated the in vitro free radical scavenging activity of isolated compounds by measuring total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and reducing power ability. From the chloroform extract five sesquiterpenes namely atlantone, himaphenolone, atlantolone, deodardione and atlantone-2,3-diol were identified. Himaphenolone and deodardione from the chloroform extract of this plant have been isolated for the first time. A marked dose-dependent reducing power and strong TAC were found in favour of himaphenolone and atlantone-2,3-diol, respectively. Moreover, deodardione and atlantolone also exhibit good antioxidant potentials. However, atlantone has showed least antioxidant activity. In conclusion, the chloroform extract of C. deodara exhibited significant antioxidant potential mainly due to the presence of sesquiterpenes which may be responsible for various pharmacological activities of this plant.

description: Results of solid phase micro-extraction coupled to gas chromatography and mass spectrometry analyses, accomplished on sporophores of 11 species of truffles and false truffles, are reported. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in Gautieria morchelliformis were dimethyl sulphide, 1,3-octadiene, 3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadien-3-ol, amorphadiene, isoledene and cis-muurola-3,5-diene. In Hymenogaster luteus var. luteus, presence of 1,3-octadiene, 1-octen-3-ol, 3-octanone, 3-octanol and 4-acetylanisole was revealed. Two VOCs, 4-acetylanisole and β-farnesene, constituted aroma of Hymenogaster olivaceus.Melanogaster broomeanus exhibited as components of its aroma 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, 2-methylpropanal, 2-methylpropanol, isobutyl acetate, 3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadien-3-ol, 3-octanone and β-curcumene. VOC profile of Octavianina asterosperma was characterised by the presence of dimethyl sulphide, ethyl 2-methylpropanoate, methyl 2-methylbutanoate and 3-octanone. Tuber rufum var. rufum and Pachyphloeus conglomeratus showed the presence of dimethyl sulphide only.
