Identification of molecular genetic factors that influence migraine
No full textAbstract Migraine is a common neurological disorder with a strong genetic basis. However, the complex nature of the disorder has meant that few genes or susceptibility loci have been identified and replicated consistently to confirm their involvement in migraine. Approaches to genetic studies of the disorder have included analysis of the rare migraine subtype, familial hemiplegic migraine with several causal genes identified for this severe subtype. However, the exact genetic contributors to the more common migraine subtypes are still to be deciphered. Genomewide studies such as genome-wide association studies and linkage analysis as well as candidate genes studies have been employed to investigate genes involved in common migraine. Neurological, hormonal and vascular genes are all considered key factors in the pathophysiology of migraine and are a focus of many of these studies. It is clear that the influence of individual genes on the expression of this disorder will vary. Furthermore, the disorder may be dependent on gene-gene and gene-environment interactions that have not yet been considered. In addition, identifying susceptibility genes may require phenotyping methods outside of the International Classification of Headache Disorders II criteria, such as trait component analysis and latent class analysis to better define the ambit of migraine expression.Griffith Health, School of Medical ScienceNo Full Tex

No full textOne of the most delightful experiences I have had in a long time. There are two modes for experiencing this program. One runs through the twelve pages one by one, with plenty of animation and music for each event in the story. The other is especially entertaining. The viewer can play with each page, clicking on various objects in the individual picture. Rows of carrots turn into dancers, and tomatoes on the vine turn into a vocal group. Other carrots take off like space missiles. Click on the water and you are liable to see a fish jump up and fly around a bit before bringing the program and picture back to the starting point. Gives new meaning for me to the word interactive. I love it! The boxed CD-ROM comes with a booklet by the same title.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: English and SpanishProduct Managers: Todd Power and Liza Weiman. English and Spanish.

Effects of thermal processing on antioxidant, phenolic and anthocyanin levels in blackcurrant juice
No full textHealth and Wellness continues to be a major driver for consumers within the current marketplace. Given this climate, superfruits such as blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) are gaining interest among beverage manufacturers due to their high content of antioxidants and anthocyanins. Blackcurrant juice, while very popular in Europe, is just beginning to gain acceptance in the domestic marketplace.
Various thermal processes are required throughout the production of a shelf stable juice product at both the raw material and finished beverage stages. The goal of this research is to evaluate the effect of these thermal processes on the retention of heat sensitive compounds such as phenolics, anthocyanins and overall antioxidants in the final consumer beverage. To this end, bulk samples of 13 brix flash pasteurized and 65 brix concentrated blackcurrant juice were obtained and further processed at beverage scale. The beverage scale processing entailed the three key thermal processes utilized by retail manufacturers: aseptic, hotfill and tunnel pasteurization. The raw material juices and fully processed samples were then analyzed for anthocyanin content, total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity to understand retention of these nutrients in the post process beverage.
The findings of this study show marked losses at the raw material level of all measured components with a reduction in Phenolic Content of approximately 35%, a reduction of Antioxidant Capacity by 48% and, most significantly, a reduction of Anthocyanin Content of approximately 80% in the concentrated juice as compared to the flash pasteurized Not From Concentrate (NFC) juice. The anthocyanin content was seen to undergo additional degradation (40-50%) by further processing the juice at beverage level, while little or no further change in either antioxidant capacity or phenolic content was seen. There was little to no difference in the impact of aseptic, hotfill or tunnel pasteurization as compared to each other.
Understanding the relationship between process and retention will allow industry to leverage the proper processes required to deliver the desired health benefits to consumers.M.S.Includes bibliographical references (p. 53-56)by Bridget A. Skahil
Pilgrims and Saints: Here Comes Everybody!
No full textBridget Burke Ravizza is a Professor of Theology and Religious Studies at St. Norbert College. Bridget earned her doctorate in Theological Ethics at Boston College. Her work focuses on sexual ethics and the ethics of marriage and family. She is co-author (with Julie Donovan Massey, M.Div.) of Project Holiness: Marriage as a Workshop for Everyday Saints. The book draws on the experience of married couples in Catholic parishes to identify the virtues and values that lead to flourishing marriages and to the holiness of married partners.
About the Lecture
Oh, how I want to be in that number, when the saints go marching in. Christians are a people on the move, and we do not travel alone. Rather, we journey together toward God as part of “the communion of saints.” Join us as we consider the theological and ethical implications of belonging to the communion of saints
The edge of meaning: Polish translations of the Bridget Jones film series
No full textNiniejszy artykuł poświęcony jest analizie translatorskiej polskich tłumaczeń ekranizacji Dziennika Bridget Jones i Bridget Jones 3. Głównym zadaniem tekstu tłumaczenia jest przybliżenie znaczenia tekstu wyjściowego. Jednak nigdy dwie osoby nie wykonają tłumaczenia identycznie. Zawsze jest ono indywidualnym, niepowtarzalnym tekstem autora – tłumacza filmowego, odzwierciedleniem jego idiolektu. Forma tekstu docelowego uzależniona jest od poziomu umiejętności translatorskich, które determinują poszczególne rozwiązania tłumaczeniowe fragmentów problematycznych (nieoczywistych) tekstu wyjściowego. Sposób radzenia sobie z tymi trudnościami określa format tłumacza. W artykule omówiono dwa tłumaczenia dwóch różnych tłumaczek i podjęta próba oceny ich warsztatu.This paper analyses Polish translations of two romantic comedy films Bridget Jones’ Diary and Bridget Jones’ Baby. The main goal of a translated text is to convey the meaning of an original. However, it is impossible for any two persons to deliver identical translations. It is always an individual, unique text of the particular author – a film translator and it reflects his or her idiolect. The form of the translated text depends on translator’s skills as they determine particular solutions for problematic fragments (not selfevident) of the original. The choices of translators define their level of mastery. The paper analyses two translations of two different persons and attempts to assess their craft
Did Bridget Jones Really Liberate Us?
No full textReprinted from "Did Bridget Jones really liberate us?" Herizons 16:1 (1 July 2002), 26-29, which is in turn an excerpt of the book "Overloaded: Pop Culture and the Future of Feminism" (Women's Press, 2000), ISBN-10: 0704346176. While men are in crisis, many women continue to flick through the glossies and self-help manuals in an attempt to find their own problems, their own complex identities, reflected there. If some male commentators are suggesting that women, in their will to power, have taken a little bit of men's essential selves with them, women are recognising that 'having it all' demands some complex navigation between what is seen as masculine and what is seen as feminine. The world of work and public life is so steeped in its masculine image and language that it is difficult for women not to become infected, and as a result be perceived as unhealthily 'masculine' for simply trying to do their work as well as a man. This conflict is echoed out in the film Working Girl (1988), where Sigourney Weaver's ruthless and competitive management style is set against Melanie Griffiths' softer reconciliation between her drive for professional recognition and her sexually alluring style of dress--an antidote to the shoulder-padded 'power-dressing' of the early eighties. In fact, this 'unsisterly' conflict is played out as an unseemly battle over the one glittering prize that indicates you've really 'arrived'--getting the man. Good men are hard to find, if the common-sense aphorisms of popular culture are to be believed; in fact any available men seem to be in short supply. Belief in this 'fact' shapes the agenda for women's magazines. Having a career is all well and good, but not if it is at the expense of finding Mr. Right. All warn implicitly that the heady days of youth, glamour and social freedom are all too soon replaced by the lengthy twilight of terminal single status. The 'singleton' is, perhaps, the elder sister of the ladette. Once the 'snogging and shagging' of the early years are over and she has reached a certain level in her career, the biological imperative to 'nest' takes over. It is only then that the singleton realises her success in other fields has been at the expense of the one thing that 'really' matters--finding a man. The singleton par excellence is, of course, Bridget Jones
