Description:
Development of mesophyll cell chloroplasts during ontogeny of second wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) leaf was compared in plants grown in Ml nutrient solution (+N) and in nutrient solution without nitrogen (-N). Chloroplast size and ultrastructure were evaluated quantitatively by means of transmission electron microscopy and stereology. In -N plants compared to +N ones, the life spán of the second leaf was shortened and chloroplast development modified; the most striking feature was the accumulation of starch. Moreover, mature chloroplasts of -N plants were smaller and had smaller relative partial volume of thylakoids and larger relative partial volume of plastoglobules than those of +N plants.

2. Modely jako prostředek dokumentace lidové architektury na příkladu modelů z Národopisné výstavy ze sbírek Národního zemědělského muzea

Subject:
models, vernacular architecture, documentation, museum, and presentation
Language:
Czech
Description:
Models of vernacular architecture are one of the best ways for the documentation of folk buildings. However, it is necessary to be aware of the fact that those models document the buildings visually, while their construction and material are documented only insufficiently. The research on the models showed that the models are made at more quality levels which differ in the fidelity of imitation of a constructional detail or material used. Even though the models will continue to be a suitable means to document vernacular architecture, it is necessary to replenish them with other documentation methods. The future of the models consists primarily in the presentation of folk buildings.

Description:
Individuals serologically positive for the chronic infection with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii (TG) display certain personality traits differently from uninfected individuals. Experimental data in mice demonstrate that TG infection modulates behaviour. However, psychiatric patients with a personality disorder have not yet been investigated systematically. In our sample containing 896 psychiatric inpatients with the primary diagnoses of schizophrenia, major depression, schizoaffective or bipolar disorder and 214 psychiatrically unaffected controls (same geographic region, sampled during same time period) we analysed for effects of the additional diagnosis of a personality disorder in the patients. Psychiatrically, a patient can meet the criteria of a personality disorder additionally to any of the mentioned primary diagnoses. We applied logistic regression and cross-table statistics, separated groups by the presence/absence of a personality disorder (ICD-10) and adjusted for age between groups. We found that among all patients the additional diagnosis of a personality disorder was significantly associated with TG infection. Furthermore, only in the patients with an additional personality disorder medium titre responses (1:16-1:64) were associated with chronic course and high C-reactive protein (CRP) levels whereas high titre response (>1:64) was associated with a more acute recurrent clinical course. In the older individuals only there was a preponderance of medium titre responses (1:16-1:64) among the patients with personality disorder compared to those without and controls. We conclude that TG infection and the host's response to it make a difference for the diagnosis of a personality disorder. Our data support that TG infection can modulate human behaviour and personality traits.
