Reshep is a warlike god that rules over diseases. He is the lord of fire and all heat, including that from the sun and that which can burn inside man, that is, fever. There is, however, no evidence of Reshep´s rule in the netherworld. The only argument in favor of this thesis rests on the identification of Reshep with Nergal. Yet this identification springs from their common rule over disease and not from any connection with the netherworld. This seems particularly obvious when ones takes into account that the West Semites were already acquainted with the cut of Nergal in the form of an association with the cult of Erra, the god of heat, drought, and disease.
Natural and synthetic compounds called endocrine-disrupting chemicals can interfere with normal hormone binding to convey inaccurate signals or send mixed messages that may result in altered health outcomes of both wildlife and humans. Estriol is one of natural origin endocrine disruptors and it is metabolite of 17β-estradiol. The aim of this work was to develop a method for determining free estriol available to capaciting sperm. In order to determine a status of estriol during mouse sperm capacitation in vitro a high performance liquid chromatography HPLC method with UV detection was used. A free estriol, and the estriol bound to the bovine serum albumin in capacitation medium can be quantified by the proposed method. A reversed-phase separation mode using a SunFire C18 column with a simple mobile phase composed of acetonitrile and water, methanol and water at the ratio 40/60 (v/v) was applied. Our results show that the level of free estriol available for mouse spermatozoa during capacitation in vitro can be quantified by HPLC method with UV detection. Therefore, this method represents an important tool to determine the amount of environmental estrogens, such as estriol, bound to sperm cells at the specific time point of capacitation in vitro.
Cíl: Studie se zaměřuje na deskripci současného stavu poznání o resilienci rodičů sluchově postižených dětí. Metody: V rámci výzkumného přístupu EBN (Evidence Based Nursing) byl za výzkumnou metodu zvolen systematický přehled (systematic review). Byly sledovány tyto proměnné: místo výzkumu, metoda výzkumu, velikost vzorku, složení vzorku, cíl výzkumu, sledované proměnné, navrhované intervence, ošetřovatelské diagnózy NANDA-International. Výsledky: Z celkového počtu 280 nalezených studií bylo na základě vyřazovacích kritérií vybráno 26 studií kvantitativního charakteru. Bylo zjištěno, že žádná ze studií přímo s konceptem resilience nepracuje ani ve svých deklarovaných cílech ani v rámci zkoumaných proměnných. Závěry: Zdroje resilience bude možno odhalit pouze na základě kvalitativní sekundární analýzy obsahů studovaných textů., Aim: The objective of the research is to identify the state of knowledge about the resilience of parents of hearingimpaired children in relevant researches published up-to-day. Methods: The basic framework of the presented research is evidence-based nursing. The chosen technique is a systematic review. The following variables were monitored: location of the research, the research method, sample size, sample design, the objective of the research, variables, proposed interventions, NANDA-Int. nursing diagnosis. Results: The core sample consisted of 280 articles. On the basis of elimination criteria, most of them were rejected. Twenty six articles with quantitative methods fulfi lled the set criteria and were analysed. It was found that none of the studies works directly with the concept of resilience, neither in its declared objectives nor in the variables. Conclusion: The resources of resilience will be possible to detect on the basis of qualitative secondary analysis of the contents of the studied texts., Ivana Olecká, Kateřina Ivanová, and Literatura 35
