A new genus, Trurlia Jałoszyński, in the tribe Cephenniini (Scydmaenidae: Scydmaeninae) is described. The type species is T. insana sp. n. from Sumatra; females of an undescribed species are also reported to occur in W Malaysia. Trurlia most closely resembles Cephennomicrus Reitter, but it is the first genus of the Scydmaenidae with entirely fused antennomeres 10 and 11, forming a large, oval, abruptly separated club. Based on a disarticulated female of Trurlia sp., the detailed morphology of the new genus is described and illustrated, and possible relationships with other genera of the tribe are discussed. Comments on evolution, polarity of characters and feeding strategy of the Cephenniini are included.
Cílem příspěvku je prokázání nesprávného vysvětlení počátků Trutnova, které bylo v minulém roce podáno v Archeologických rozhledech v článku „Nad počátky Trutnova a jeho pivovarnictví“. Spor o patronátní právo ke kostelu ve Starém Trutnově mezi panovníkem a zderazským klášterem, který se odehrál v letech 1358–1360, je klíčem k pochopení písemností, kterými klášter hájil svá práva. Rozbor jejich obsahu dává možnost zpětně rekonstruovat vývoj církevní správy na Trutnovsku a s ní i objasnit počátky staré Úpy a založení Nového Trutnova. and The aim of the work is to demonstrate the inaccuracy of the explanation regarding the beginnings of Trutnov presented last year in Archeologické rozhledy. The dispute over the patronal right to the church in Old Trutnov between the king and the Zderaz monastery in 1358–1360 is the key to understanding the documents with which the monastery defended its rights. An analysis of the documents enables a reconstruction of the development of Church administration in the Trutnov region and helps clarify the beginnings of the town of Trutnov itself.
Nová evropská doporučení v oblasti trvalé kardiostimulace obsahují novou klasifikaci bradykardií indikovaných k trvalé kardiostimulaci dle vyvolávajícího mechanizmu. Ke každému typu bradykardie navrhují vhodnou diagnostiku a optimální způsob trvalé stimulace. V závěru jsou navržena optimální bezpečnostní opatření, pokud pacient s implantovaným kardiostimulátorem potřebuje podstoupit vyšetření magnetickou rezonancí., The new European recommendations in permanent cardiac pacing include a new classification of bradycardia indicated for permanent pacing according to inducing mechanism. For each type of bradycardia suggest the appropriate diagnostic method and the optimal mode of permanent stimulation. Optimal safety measures are proposed when a patient with an implanted pacemaker needs to undergo an magnetic resonance imaging., and Heinc P., Kováčik F., Moravec O., Přeček J., Táborský M.
Membrane-bound proteases from preparations of the midgut of 5th instar velvetbean caterpillars, Anticarsia gemmatalis (Hübner) were obtained by resuspension of the pellet obtained after 100,000 g centrifugation. As expected of trypsin-like proteases, they hydrolyzed casein and the synthetic substrates N-α-benzoyl-L-Arg-p-nitroanilidine (L-BApNA) and N-α-p-tosyl-L-Arg methyl ester (L-TAME). Higher activities were observed at 50°C, and at pH 8.5 and 8.0 for both synthetic substrates L-BApNA and L-TAME. The membrane-bound proteases were inhibited by EDTA, phenylmethan sulphonyl fluoride (PMSF), tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone (TLCK), benzamidine and aprotinin. TLCK and benzamidine were particularly active inhibitors. The KM-values obtained were 0.23 mM for L-BApNA and 92.5 µM for L-TAME. These results provide evidence for the presence of membrane-bound trypsin-like proteases in the midgut of the velvetbean caterpillar, a key soybean pest in warm climates. The interaction between A. gemmatalis digestive proteases and soybean protease inhibitors has potentially important consequences for soybean breeding programs.
The Institute of Philosophy of ASCR on November 26-27, 2012 hosted two lectures by Howard Hotson, professor of early modern intellectual history at the University of Oxford and steering committee chair of the Council for the Defence of British Universities. In his lecture Networking the Republic of Letters: an Introduction to Early Modern Letters Online Professor Hotson introduced his project on which he cooperates with scientists at the Institute of Philosophy of ASCR. In his lecture, Understanding the Global University Crisis: The Marketisation of English Higher Education in International Perspective, he criticizes the British government reforms of higher education. and Gabriela Adámková.
