[67a] Schöner Brunnen (Fountain), Nuremberg, Germany [front]
No full textA carte-de-visite photograph from the late 19th century of the Schöner Brunnen (Beautiful Fountain) in Nuremburg, Germany. The fourteen-meter fountain, erected in the late 14th century, commemorates religious and philosophical figures in multiple tiers, including Old Testament prophets and classical philosophers.https://scholarworks.uni.edu/his_monuments_sp2022/1130/thumbnail.jp

Bovine Neutrophil Migration, CD11a/CD18 Expression, and Cytokine Response to Co-Culture with Mammary Gland Endothelial Cells and Epithelial Cells
No full textMovement of leukocytes from the circulatory system into a site of inflammation is a highly complex process. The migration of neutrophils into the lumen of the mammary gland during mastitis is no exception. There is information about the involvement of bacterial-produced products during this process, but less is known regarding the role of host products. Two bovine cell lines, a primary mammary gland endothelial cell line and an immortalized bovine mammary gland epithelial cell line (Mac-T), along with freshly isolated bovine neutrophils, were used to study this further. The cell lines were grown on inserts and in wells of tissue-culture plates. In the initial set of experiments, neutrophils were added to the inserts, and then their migration into the tissue-culture plate wells was monitored using a hemocytometer or a flow cytometer. Lipopolysaccharide was added to some of the wells to induce migration. This was then followed by a similar series of experiments that were initialized by the addition of inhibitors to interleukin-8 (IL-8), platelet-activating factor (PAF), tumor-necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), or lipoxygenase (LOX) prior to the addition of the neutrophils and their enumeration. In addition, integrin expression (CD11a/18) by the neutrophils was measured using flow cytometry. In our insert/tissue culture plate well system, neutrophils readily migrated towards the epithelial cells when they were separated from them either by the insert alone or the insert plus a layer of endothelial cells. The presence of LPS in the system allowed this migration to occur without the involvement of epithelial cells. The inhibition of PAF or TNF alone did not alter migration, while the inhibition of either IL-8 or LOS did significantly reduce the movement of neutrophils. Only the migrating neutrophils had upregulated levels of CD11a/18 on their surface. From a host perspective, it appears that products of the LOX enzyme system and IL-8 were the primary inducers of neutrophil migration, and that mammary gland epithelial cells were capable of driving this process on their own. Understanding the role of host-produced chemotactic agents that are involved in mammary gland inflammation may allow better regulation of this activity
Portrayals of Disabilities in Picturebooks with the Schneider Family Award
No full textThis study analyzed the portrayal of disabilities in picturebooks that have received the Schneider Family Award, a well-known children’s literature award in the United States focused on disability representation. The purpose of the study was to conduct an intersectional analysis of these picturebooks to explore how characters are positioned across multiple categories such as disability, race/ethnicity, gender, class, age, and language. Using the Rating Scale for Quality Characterizations of Individuals with Disabilities in Children’s Literature, the study analyzed all 17 picturebooks appropriate for early childhood that received the Schneider Family Award from 2004 to 2020. The analysis found that these picturebooks are commendable for their accurate and realistic portrayals of characters with disabilities and other positive aspects. Implications are provided for teachers, authors, illustrators, and selection committees for children’s literature awards
