Vaidya Kanda - A unique 18th century classical text of Ayurveda in Kannada
No full textVaidyakanda is a text in Kannada authored by Bommaiah probably belonging to the 18th Century AD which can be considered as a gist of Brihatrayis as declared by the author himself in the Pre colophon. The text presents in the order of Dinacharya, Ritucharya, Maana Paribhasha, Arishta Lakshanas, Nidanas of Vyadhis and it’s Chikitsa in a brief manner. The text consists of 923 Padyas (Stanzas) which are presented in the form of Kanda style of classical Kannada writing. The author of Vaidyakanda is Brahma or Bommaiah. The initial stanzas of the text indicate the author as Brahma. The end of Tritiyadala and post colophon refers Bommaiah as the author. Karnataka Kavicharite has attributed Brahma or Bommaiah to 1750 AD. It can be observed that the text seems to be a practical handbook for a local practitioner with commonly encountered diseases and conditions among folk. The author being a poet has presented the whole text in Kanda Padya form making the difficult and complex concepts easily understandable by the learners of Ayurveda. The simple translation of the verses given in Kannada language makes the reader more comfortable and the English translation will cater to the readers at large
Stručná vzpomínka na Bohumila Hrabala = A brief testimony about Bohumil Hrabal
No full textIn May, 1990, the reknowned Czech author Bohumil Hrabal (1914-1997) visited the Department of Slavonic Languages and Literatures at the University of Glasgow. Jan Čulík was present and later took Hrabal for a trip by car to Loch Katrine. On his return to Czechoslovakia, Bohumil Hrabal wrote an experimental text about this which was published in his volume Dopisy Dubence (Letters to April). In this contribution, Jan Čulík compares the image of Hrabal's visit to Glasgow and to Scotland as it is featured in his literary text to what happened in reality

Both species can be distinguished by different morphology (larger and often confluent in <i>T. waclawae</i>) and arrangement (rows extend over humeri to scutellum in <i>T. waclawae</i>) of tubercles; and elytral disc (almost flat in lateral view in <i>T. waclawae</i>) (Fig. 3F).</p> <p> <i>Description:</i> Length 29.0–30.0 mm, width of pronotum 9.0–10.0 mm and elytra 19.0–20.0 mm. <i>Head:</i> Hypognathous. Frons finely punctate (3–4 diameters apart); frontoclypeal suture course, with deep groove in middle; apical clypeal margin broadly shallowly emarginate; clypeus projected toward front of body; apical margin of labrum sharply emarginate medially, densely punctate (although punctures fine) in apical half, apical side of labrum densely covered with yellowish, acuminate setae.

Reverse Genetics and Artificial Replication Systems of Borna Disease Virus 1
No full textBorna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) is a neurotropic RNA virus belonging to the family Bornaviridae within the order Mononegavirales. Whereas BoDV-1 causes neurological and behavioral disorders, called Borna disease (BD), in a wide range of mammals, its virulence in humans has been debated for several decades. However, a series of case reports in recent years have established the nature of BoDV-1 as a zoonotic pathogen that causes fatal encephalitis in humans. Although many virological properties of BoDV-1 have been revealed to date, the mechanism by which it causes fatal encephalitis in humans remains unclear. In addition, there are no effective vaccines or antiviral drugs that can be used in clinical practice. A reverse genetics approach to generating replication-competent recombinant viruses from full-length cDNA clones is a powerful tool that can be used to not only understand viral properties but also to develop vaccines and antiviral drugs. The rescue of recombinant BoDV-1 (rBoDV-1) was first reported in 2005. However, due to the slow nature of the replication of this virus, the rescue of high-titer rBoDV-1 required several months, limiting the use of this system. This review summarizes the history of the reverse genetics and artificial replication systems for orthobornaviruses and explores the recent progress in efforts to rescue rBoDV-1
