The application of computerized optico-structural analysis (OSA) for the evaluation of morphofunctional peculiarities in cells and tissues
No full textCriteria for the evaluation of morphofunctional peculiarities in the smooth muscle tissue of the myometrium and in human leukocytes were evolved by the author and his associates. They were obtained on a computer-controlled PROTVA scanning microscope-photometer by the optico-structural analysis method elaborated by Bogdanov (1966). Comparative studies of RNA, protein and SH- groups in the myometrium were conducted during pregnancy and in the presence of both normal and weak myometrical contractility during labor. The second and third factors in the scannograms [D(X) and S(K)] were shown to be highly informative for evaluation of the tissue system as a whole. Image processing of Feulgen- and Romanovsky-stained fetal, neonatal and adult human leukocytes was also carried out on a PROTVA microscope-analyser. Peculiarities were observed in the morphological and cytochemical features of neutrophils, eosinophils and small, medium and large lymphocytes. Fine differences were also found among small lymphocytes

Rethinking Eurasianism: the Eurasian Union Project of N.A. Nazarbaev
No full textThe article is dedicated to the analysis of basic patterns of the Eurasian Union Project of N.A. Nazarbaev. The author explains the reasons determined absence of interest from the direction of Russian leaders and governments of other CIS’s countries to the initiative of Kazakhstan President in 1990’s and the renewal of Eurasianism in 2000’s. The author also emphasizes the factors defining a special role of Kazakhstan in the processes of integration on the area of Eurasia
Work schedules, wages, and employment in a general equilibrium model with team production
No full textAn analysis of working hours, wages, and employment when production requires coordinating the work schedules of heterogeneous workers. The author shows that this coordination aspect of production can have important policy implications.Hours of labor ; Employment (Economic theory) ; Wages
Environmental impacts during the operational phase of residential buildings
No full textTo date, the focus in the field of sustainable building has been on new building design. However, existing residential buildings inflict great environmental burden through three causes: continuous energy consumption, regular building maintenance and replacements. This publication analyses and compares these three causes of environmental burden and shows that material resources needed for replacements generally have a limited potential to reduce environmental impact. Reducing energy consumption for climate control and electrical appliances is much more effective. According to the author, sustainable measures should be tested for shifts in the kind of environmental impact caused due to the use of alternative types of energy resources and altered material quantities. The sustainability of the electricity supply is essential to decrease the total environmental impact of the residential building stock.Sustainable and Healthy HousingOTB Research Institut
Animal Blood Sacrifice in Left-Hand Path and Satanic Milieu: Case Study of the Author N.A-A.218
No full textKrvavá zvířecí oběť v Left-Hand Path a satanském milieu: Případová studie autora N.A-A.218 Matouš Mokrý English Abstract: The main aim of this paper was to study the meaning and nature of Chaos-gnostic animal sacrifice in the texts of N.A-A.218, to describe its social functions and to put it in its social and discoursive context, and thus to provide further understanding of its occurrence within the Left-Hand Path and satanic milieu whose dominant actors have rejected the act of animal sacrifice. The work deals in more detail mainly with discourses found in the texts of N.A- A.218 which are expressing the conception of sacrificial blood as magically potent substance constituting the seat of animal's life; do ut des principle; traditionality and duty of animal sacrifice and the conception of sacrifice as gradual killing of one's own ego which constitutes the part of a Chaos-gnostic's personality that is tying him to the demiurgic material world and its society. Whereas the discourses of blood as a magically potent substance and do ut des principle harmonize the Chaos-gnostic animal sacrifice with intuitive conceptions arising in connection with animal sacrifice across individual human cultures, the discourse of compulsory tradition shapes animal sacrifice as a tool of building, maintaining and control of..

Effect of corticosteroids on argyrophilic premedullary thymocytes
No full textCells in the premedullar zone of the thymus contain serotonin and catecholamines and show argyrophilicity in the Grimelius test. Their cytoplasm is packed with granules. Glucocorticoids (hydrocortisone) provoke an increase in the number of argyrophilic premedullary cells and in their content of serotonin and catecholamines. Mineralocorticoids induce a prolonged (1-14 days) increase in the number of argyrophilic premedullary cells, enhance their degranulation, and increase their contents of serotonin (2-3 fold) and catecholamines. ©1997 Plenum Publishing Corporation
