    No full text
    In the last 40 years, physical and rehabilitation medicine (PRM) has made significant steps forward in Europe with the foundation of the European Federation of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (EFPMR) (1963) which gave rise to the European Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (ESPRM) (2004) the European Academy of Rehabilitation Medicine (1970), the PRM Section of the European Union of Medical Specialists (1974), and the European Board of PRM (1991). Our journal, formerly Europa Medico-physica (1964), the official journal of the EFPMR, now European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (EJPRM) and official journal of the ESPRM since 2008, is distinct for its steadfast European vocation, long-standing Mediter-ranean interests and connections with various national scientific societies. Jointly with the ESPRM, efforts are under way to set up the European Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Journal Network (EPRMJN). The aim of this article is to present a profile of the national journals in the EPRMJN so as to give a better overview of how the scientific part of PRM in Europe has developed within a national perspective.A profile of the following national journals is presented: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (France), Fizikalna i rehabilitacijska medicina (Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine) (Croatia), Neurorehabilitation (Bulgaria), Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Portuguese Society Journal (Portugal), Physical Medicine, Rehabilitaton, Health (Bulgaria), Physikalische Medizin - Rehabilitationsmedizin - Kurort-medizin/Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (Germany and Austria) Prevention and Rehabilitation (Bulgaria), Rehabilitacija (Rehabilitation) (Slovenia), Rehabilitación (Madr) (Spain), Turkish Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (Turkey).Some national journals in Europe have a very long history and tradition of research and education. Having a better knowledge of these realities, usually hidden to the international readership owing to the English language barrier, could promote science in our specialty

    Inositol lipid signalling occurs in brush-border membranes during initiation of compensatory renal growth in the rat

    Using highly specific mass assays, concentrations of inositol lipids and 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) were determined in plasma membranes isolated from rat kidney cortex. Significantly higher concentrations of inositol lipids were determined in brush-border (BBM) than in basal-lateral (BLM) plasma membranes, although DAG concentrations were similar in both. After unilateral nephrectomy, a decrease in PtdIns(4,5)P2 and PtdIns4P, with a concomitant increase in DAG and translocation of protein kinase C (PKC), were observed in BBM but not in BLM isolated from the remaining kidney. On the other hand, stimulation of renal cortical slices with insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) or phenylephrine caused similar effects in BLM but not in BBM. Stimulation of phospholipase C activity with translocation of PKC only to BBM in one kidney was also induced by occlusion of blood flow through the contralateral kidney for 15 min. At 30 min after the occlusion was removed and reflow established, DAG concentration and the amount of PKC in BBM returned to control values. These results suggest that an early signal after unilateral nephrectomy is transmitted to cells through BBM and can be switched on and off by blood occlusion and reflow through the contralateral kidney, while hormonal signals caused by IGF-II and phenylephrine are transmitted to cells through BLM

    Sorta Moslavac, tj. Pušipel kao sinonim za ovu sortu, na području Međimurskog vinogorja smatra se jednom od najvažnijih sorata u razvoju vinogradarstva i vinarstva tog područja. Da bi se unaprijedila proizvodnja vina te sorte, pokrenut je 2010. godine postupak klonske selekcije kako bi se osigurao zdrav i kvalitetan sadni materijal te individualnom klonskom selekcijom izdvojili divergentni klonovi sorte. Ovo se istraživanje provodilo na matičnim trsovima sorte Moslavac koji su izdvojeni 2010. godine u postupku pozitivne masovne klonske selekcije te kod kojih nije utvrđeno prisustvo gospodarski štetnih virusa. U 2011. godini izdvojena su 32 bezvirusna matična trsa klonskih kandidata Moslavca kod kojih je provedena standardna ampelografska evaluacija koja obuhvaća opis putem OIV deskriptora te utvrđivanje najvažnijih gospodarskih karakteristika: prinosa, elemenata rodnosti, sadržaja šećera i kiselina u moštu, pH vrijednosti mošta, mehaničkog sastava grozda i bobice te uvometrijska istraživanja. Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju da među promatranim matičnim trsovima te sorte postoje značajne razlike u svim istraživanim svojstvima, a dobiveni rezultati usporedit će se u nastavku klonske selekcije s rezultatima koje će postići vegetativno potomstvo tih trsova u ujednačenim uvjetima pokusnog nasada.Moslavac variety, i.e. Pušipel as a synonym for this variety in the area of Međimurje vineyards is considered to be one of the most important varieties in the development of viticulture and enology of this area. With the goal of improving the production of wine of this variety, in 2010 clonal selection procedure was started in order to ensure a healthy planting material of high quality and to single out divergent clones of this variety through individual clonal selection in further procedure. This research was conducted on mother vines of Moslavac variety which were singled out in 2010 in the procedure of positive mass clonal selection and where wasn’t determined the presence of economically harmful viruses. In 2011 there were singled out 32 virus-free mother vines of clone candidates of Moslavac variety where a standard ampelographic evaluation was conducted and it included: a description by OIV descriptors, then determining the most important economical characteristics - yield, elements of yield, content of sugar and acids in must, pH values of must, mechanical composition of raceme and grapes and uvometric researches. The obtained results show that there are significant differences in all of the researched characteristics of the observed mother vines of this variety and the obtained results will be compared in the continuation of clonal selection with the results which will be achieved by vegetative progeny of these vines in equal conditions of experimental plantation

    The European Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Journal Network (EPRMJN), a joint initiative between the European Society Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (ESPRM) and the European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (EJPRM), has the aim to increase scientific knowledge among PRM specialists and foster collaboration among physical and rehabilitation medicine (PRM) journals. This article reports the results of a survey of national PRM journals in Europe we conducted to obtain an overview of the current state of PRM research in the European setting.Every year 682 PRM papers are published in a total of 66 issues per 3 294 page in the 16 national journals that responded to our survey, out of the 21 published in 15 countries; 12 countries have no PRM journals and two did not respond. Some 94\% of the journals responding to the survey have a research aim and 88\% an educational aim; all journals use a peer-review process (75\% blinded); on average, 58.8 submissions are received per year, of which 6.7\% are invited papers; the rejection rate is 21.4\%. The majority of papers report original research, and main topics are musculoskeletal and neurological rehabilitation.Since the national journals published in Europe have a good peer review process and publish mainly original articles, it is possible that good research can be found. A major problem is the English language barrier to wider readerships, as many researchers publish only in their native language. The EPRMJN aims to discover this research and make it accessible to international audiences through systematic collection of articles appearing in the national journals of the EPRMJN and publication of content summaries on the ESPRM website

    Dijalozi s baštinom su znanstveno-stručni skup koji se održava svake godine oko Dana svjetske baštine (18. travnja). Kroz godine skup je postao središnje mjesto prezentacije konzervatorskih i konzervatorsko-restauratorskih zahvata, istraživanja, planova ili rješenja nekoga konzervatorskoga problema, no ponajprije postao je mjesto susret radi otvorene diskusije, s namjerom poticanja posljednjih godina zamrle rasprave o problemima zaštite kulturne baštine. U publikaciji su na jednom mjestu objavljeni sažeci izlaganja održanih na Dijalozima s baštinom od 2011. do 2016. podijeljeni u godišnje tematske cjeline popraćeni uvodnim tekstovima, popisima sudionika i literature te kazalom mjesta

    Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)

    No full text
    This study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
