Thomas Nashe and the Idea of the Author
No full textThomas Nashe was a writer whose authorial voice was impacted by a number of different sources. Beginning with figures writing in the classical age, this thesis discusses how Nashe directly engages with their authorial personae by representing them directly in his works, and examines how Nashe presented his views on authorship by examining the manner in which he utilised these authors and their works. The thesis is not limited by genre, but engages with authors across various styles, including satire, history and drama whilst also discussing how Nashe rationalised his admiration of authors whose religious views were antithetical to his own. The scope of the analysis ranges from considering Nashe’s responses to classical authors (like Apuleius and Lucian) to contemporary Europe (Aretino) and England (including Marlowe and Greene). This thesis offers an original contribution to knowledge by highlighting how Nashe’s self-fashioning of his own authorial persona is developed through his interrogation of the models of authorship offered by both classical and contemporary authorities and discussing how his utilisation of these figures assisted in his growth as a polyauthor. The thesis concludes that Nashe’s authorial voice and identity developed through exposure to various influences and was constantly evolving throughout his career
Evaluación poblacional, caída y descomposición de hojarasca de Juglans neotropica Diels (1906).en la reserva natural el árbol de la cheta en el municipio de Pijao, departamento del Quindío
No full textSe determinó el estado poblacional, caída y descomposición de hojarasca de Juglans neotropica en la reserva natural el Árbol de la Cheta en el Municipio de Pijao. El estudio se llevó a cabo en dos unidades boscosas, bosque maduro intervenido (BMI) y bosque sucesional joven (BSJ). Para analizar el patrón espacial y densidad de la población se siguió el método de muestreo propuesto por Byth y Ripley (1980). Para el estudio de la estructura poblacional se seleccionaron 4 parcelas permanentes de 25m X 10m en cada cobertura boscosa, se registraron los individuos de la población de J. neotropica clasificándolos en diferentes categorías de edad. La caída de hojarasca se evaluó en 32 parcelas permanentes de 25 cm2 , durante 10 meses, la descomposición se determinó de acuerdo al método de bolsas de hojarasca enterradas, durante seis meses.1.Introducción 14-- 2.

Correlation between the presence of metals with potential for intoxication, omega 3 deficiency, increased omega 6: omega 3 ratio and their associated symptoms
No full textObjectives. The study aims to determine the correlation between the presence of heavy metals with intoxication potential (mercury, aluminum, arsenic), increasing the values for the omega 6: omega 3 ratio, decreasing the concentration of omega 3 and it’s impact on health. Another objective of this study is the use of an integrated protocol, developed by an interdisciplinary team, based on a customized alignment program and a treatment plan.
Materials and methods. We evaluated in a retrospective observational study, 77 patients who came to the Nutribalance Clinic between September 2017 and December 2019, with specific symptoms of intoxication with toxic metals, especially mercury, aluminum, arsenic and omega 3 deficiencies. The manifested symptoms required a complete set of blood tests for each sub-ject in the study group, tests that showed the presence of one, two and three toxic metals in the case of all
77 subjects.
The interdisciplinary team developed a personalized treatment and diet plan, monitoring the evolution on the symptoms initially manifested by each subject.
Outcomes. The results of this study shows the beneficial impact of the personalized diet plan and supplements used on the decrease in omega 6: omega 3 ratio, the significant increases in omega 3 which support the detoxification process of heavy metals and a significant improvement in the symptoms of each patient.
Conclusions. This study reveals that the process of chelating or detoxifying heavy metals is a complex one and that implies the presence of a complementarity between food and nutritional supplement therapy, avoiding one single direction, as results can be obtained for a short or insignificant period of time

The research is based on the voivods’ formal responses, rank records, scribal descriptions, food and expense books of various orders. In the study of the biography of I.S. Ostrenev used the method of historical and psychological observations and a synchronous research method focused on determining the relationship between various phenomenons and events. Analysis. The article provides an analysis of all, very scanty, information about this voivode contained in the works of domestic researchers, including a local historian of Tsaritsyn.

The insulin polymorphism -23Hph increases the risk for type 1 diabetes mellitus in the Romanian population
No full textThe insulin -23Hph and IGF2 Apa polymorphisms were genotyped in Romanian patients with T1DM (n = 204), T2DM (n = 215) or obesity (n = 200) and normoponderal healthy subjects (n = 750). The genotypes of both polymorphisms were distributed in concordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in all groups. The -23Hph AA genotype increased the risk for T1DM (OR: 3.22, 95%CI: 2.09-4.98, p < 0,0001), especially in patients without macroalbuminuria (OR: 4.32, 95%CI: 2.54-7.45, p < 0,0001). No other significant association between the alleles or genotypes of insulin -23Hph and IGF2 Apa and diabetes or obesity was identified
Metabolic Disorders in Menopause and their Correction
No full textMenopause represents a complex period in the women’s life. Several disorders of nutrition and metabolism are accompanying it. The information on this topic is increasing.The carbohydrate disturbances include impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but not only. The estrogen deficiency could be an essential contributor to the process of diabetogenesis. Other significant factors for the risk of T2DM are: ageing, obesity (with increasing incidence after menopause), lowering of physical activity, smoking, drinking, some drugs a.s.o.Unfortunately, there are in the scientific literature a number of controversies regarding the relation menopause – diabetes. For instance, an important American study (Diabetes Prevention Program) pointed out that natural menopause did not associate with an increased risk of diabetes and did not influence the answer to the preventive strategy. On the other hand, a large European trial (EPIC – InterAct Study) concluded that early menopause has produced a higher risk for T2DM.Referring to the control of diabetes in the menopause period, many studies emphasize on diet and improving lifestyle, with a major role of physical activity. It is interesting that metformin use in postmenopausal women with diabetes was associated with a lower incidence of invasive breast cancer.Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), proposed for the correction of menopause, seems not to be adequate for the women with T2DM.The increase in abdominal and, more particularly, visceral fat accumulation, is associated in menopause with a higher risk of developing an atherogenic lipid profile and an insulin-resistant state.Elevation of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides and lipoprotein (a) levels and lowering of HDL-cholesterol levels are observed in the menopause.There is an association between postmenopausal status and a substantial risk of the metabolic syndrome.The cardiovascular risk is also significantly modified.These disorders have a major impact on the quality and duration of life. Their control is in increasing attention of the medical staf
