Nora, Nora : a novel
No full textPeyton is not ready to share her widowed father with anyone, let alone a barely remembered cousin who just rolled into town. However, her father seems to like Nora well enough, and prim Aunt Augusta hates her, which raises Nora slightly in Peyton's esteem. Maybe Nora is just what quiet Lytton, Georgia needs this summer. The whole household is revitalized by Nora's energy, and it looks like she might stay on forever. But soon it becomes clear that something is troubling Nora deeply. It has to be something from her past that's bothering her, something she is running away from. When the shocking truth comes to light, it stuns the residents of their small segregated town. It also teaches Peyton the enormous cost of loving -- and the necessity of doing it anyway. New York Times bestselling author Anne Rivers Siddons has created a quirky, wildly likeable, and truly unforgettable heroine. Nora, Nora is a wonderful novel, written with insight and a keen sense of time and place. It is destined to be Anne Rivers Siddons's biggest hit yet
Cicatrización de la piel de dorada (Sparus aurata L.)
No full textEsta Tesis Doctoral se enfoca en el estudio del proceso de cicatrización de la piel de la dorada (Sparus aurata), una especie con gran importancia económica en el Mediterráneo. La investigación se divide en dos partes: la Parte I (Capítulos 1 y 2) se centra en el estudio celular del proceso de cicatrización de heridas cutáneas, estableciendo modelos in vitro para analizar el proceso de re-epitelización y la liberación de trampas extracelulares. Por otro lado, la Parte II (Capítulos 3 y 4) se enfoca en el uso de productos naturales, como inyecciones cutáneas o suplementos dietéticos, con el objetivo de mejorar la cicatrización de heridas en la piel de la dorada in vivo.
En el Capítulo 1 se llevaron a cabo estudios microscópicos y genéticos del proceso de cicatrización de heridas en la piel de dorada in vitro. El explante de piel de aleta caudal de dorada presenta características de migración celular colectiva durante la fase inicial de cultivo de 3 días, caracterizada por la preservación de las uniones célula-célula y el movimiento celular dirigido. Los hallazgos presentados en este estudio proporcionan evidencia convincente de un proceso de Transición Epitelial-Mesenquimal (EMT) que ocurre durante un período de cultivo de 7 días de explantes de piel de aleta caudal de dorada, lo que lo convierte en un buen modelo in vitro para estudios de cicatrización de heridas.
En el Capítulo 2 se investigó la formación de trampas extracelulares (ETs) por parte de los leucocitos del riñón cefálico de la dorada. Se usaron diferentes estimulantes (β-glucano de Saccharomyces cerevisiae (BG), lipopolisacárido de Escherichia coli (LPS), ionóforo de calcio A23187 (ICa), forbol 12-miristato 13-acetato (PMA) y ácido poli-inosínico:poli-citidilico (Poli I:C)) y se observó la liberación de ETs, los cuales son estructuras fibrosas formadas por ADN, histonas y proteínas antimicrobianas. Todos los estimulantes usados en este estudio han inducido la liberación de trampas extracelulares y actividad mieloperoxidasa por parte de leucocitos de riñón cefálico de dorada, y cada estimulante ha generado una respuesta específica, siendo el más eficiente entre los usados el PMA (500 ng/mL) tras 1 hora de incubación. Además, las trampas extracelulares liberadas por los leucocitos de riñón cefálico de dorada exhibieron actividad mieloperoxidasa asociada.
En el Capítulo 3, se evaluaron los efectos de los ácidos grasos de cadena corta (AGCC) en la respuesta inflamatoria en la piel. Se encontró que el ácido acético era el AGCC más efectivo en la reducción de la inflamación inducida por carragenina, lo que sugiere su potencial uso como agente anti-inflamatorio en la cicatrización de heridas en peces.
En el Capítulo 4, se estudió la suplementación dietética con micropartículas de fibroína de seda para mejorar la cicatrización de heridas en la piel de la dorada. Se observó que la dieta enriquecida con SF mejoraba la proporción de cierre de las heridas y promovía la proliferación celular, la fase inflamatoria y la expresión de genes relacionados con la reparación de tejidos. Estos hallazgos sugieren que la fibroína de seda podría tener potencial terapéutico en la mejora de la cicatrización de heridas en peces.This doctoral thesis focuses on studying the wound healing process in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata), a species of great economic importance in the Mediterranean. The research is divided into two parts: Part I (Chapters 1 and 2) focuses on the cellular study of cutaneous wound healing, establishing in vitro models to analyze the re-epithelialization process and the release of extracellular traps. On the other hand, Part II (Chapters 3 and 4) focuses on the use of natural products, such as skin injections or dietary supplements, with the aim of improving wound healing in gilthead seabream skin in vivo.
Chapter 1 conducted microscopic and genetic studies of the wound healing process in gilthead seabream skin in vitro. The caudal fin skin explant model exhibits features of collective cell migration during the initial 3-day culture phase, characterized by the preservation of cell-cell junctions and directed cellular movement. The findings presented in this study provide compelling evidence of an Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) process occurring during a 7-day culture period of gilthead seabream caudal fin skin explants, making it a good in vitro model for wound healing studies.
Chapter 2 investigated the formation of extracellular traps (ETs) by leukocytes from the head kidney of gilthead seabream. Different stimulants (Saccharomyces cerevisiae β-glucan (BG), Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS), calcium ionophore A23187 (CaI), phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), and polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (Poly I:C)) were used, and the release of ETs was observed, which are fibrous structures formed by DNA, histones, and antimicrobial proteins. All the stimulants used in this study induced the release of extracellular traps and myeloperoxidase activity by gilthead seabream head kidney leukocytes, and each stimulant generated a specific response, with PMA (500 ng/mL) being the most efficient after 1 hour of incubation. In addition, the extracellular traps released by gilthead seabream head kidney leukocytes exhibited associated myeloperoxidase activity.
Chapter 3 evaluated the effects of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) on the inflammatory response in the skin. It was found that acetic acid was the most effective SCFA in reducing carrageenan-induced inflammation, suggesting its potential use as an anti-inflammatory agent in fish wound healing.
Chapter 4 studied dietary supplementation with silk fibroin microparticles to improve wound healing in gilthead seabream skin. It was observed that the diet enriched with silk fibroin improved wound closure proportion and promoted cell proliferation, inflammatory phase, and expression of tissue repair-related genes. These findings suggest that silk fibroin could have therapeutic potential in improving wound healing in fish

Lexical representation and access in children and adults
No full textThe goal of the research presented in this paper is to shed light on the nature of lexical representation and access: how the lexicon develops between early childhood and adulthood; what linguistic factors are associated with lexical access, and most importantly, how the lexicon is organized. On this last point, the questions of interest are whether the lexicon is semantically organized, and if so, what semantic features drive lexical access.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Nora Isacof
Memory and History: Pierre Nora and the lieux de memoire
No full textThe article gives an outline of the concept of the lieux de memoire and presents an interview with its main exponent, the French historian Pierre Nora. Nora distinguishes ,historical memory’ and ,collective memory’, the first of which is the result of scholarly work done by academic historians. Nora\u27s historiographic approach tries to reconstruct collective memory by the study of the ,places of memory’ (i. e. topographical, symbolic and functional places). Nora attempts to analyse the memory of the nation and of the republic of France dealing with symbols, myths and stereotypes which give access to national consciousness. The author suggests the application of this concept to the symbolic topics of Austrian history and historiography.The article gives an outline of the concept of the lieux de memoire and presents an interview with its main exponent, the French historian Pierre Nora.
