Gerir pescarias artesanais é tarefa muito complexa em qualquer parte do mundo, e não existem receitas prontas de como o fazer. Os objectivos do presente trabalho são fazer uma ordenação sistemática dos principais conflitos endógenos e exógenos da pesca artesanal, incluindo uma análise do estado das pescarias, da interacção entre frotas, e da relação das pescas com assuntos de conservação e outras ...

Post-translational modifcation of intracellular proteins with a single N-acetylglucosamine sugar (O-GlcNAcylation) regulates signaling, proliferation, metabolism and protein stability. In breast cancer, expression of the enzyme that catalyzes O-GlcNAcylation – O-GlcNAc-transferase (OGT), and the extent of protein O-GlcNAcylation, are upregulated in tumor tissue, and correlate with cancer progression. ...

From June 2020 to February 2021, a consortium of 10 organisations undertook a large-scale study on open access journals across the world that are free for readers and authors, usually referred to as “OA diamond journals”. This study was commissioned by cOAlition S in order to gain a better understanding of the OA diamond landscape.

The text on Sami shamanism in Caspar Peucer’s Commentarius de praecipuis divinationum generibus (Wittenberg 1560): Critical edition, with translation and commentary. Among the sources dealing with the shamanistic skills of the Sami (formerly Lapponian) population, a certain text by Kaspar Peucer has so far been little known. This man of extreme learning was the son-in-law of Philip Melanchthon and ...

Når norske og afghanske sikkerhetsstyrker møtes er det ikke bare et møte mellom mennesker, men det er også et møte mellom kulturer. Oppgaven bygger på en hendelse hvor en norsk sjef ønsker å skape en god relasjon til sin afghanske motpart og lover han en flaske vann. Vannflasken ble ikke overlevert av han personlig, men ble kastet til den afghanske sjefen av en norsk soldat. Den afghanske sjefen ...

Background: Obesity and diabetes mellitus (DM) have been linked to increased risk of infections, and Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization is a major risk factor for developing infections with the microbe. We therefore sought to find whether body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) could be associated with S. aureus colonization independent of DM. Methodology: S. aureus colonization ...

Background and purpose: Several population-based cohort studies have related higher body mass index (BMI) to a decreased risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The main objective of our study was to investigate whether the previously reported inverse association can be explained by modifying effects of the most important risk factors of SAH—smoking and hypertension.<p> <p>Methods: We conducted ...

Proteoglycans are central components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and binding partners for inflammatory chemokines. Morphological differences in the ECM and increased inflammation are prominent features of the white adipose tissues in patients with obesity. The impact of obesity and weight loss on the expression of specific proteoglycans in adipose tissue is not well known. This study aimed to ...

Background - The mortality of metabolic-obesity phenotypes has been thoroughly studied, but it is not known if or how the association between mortality and body mass index (BMI), waist circumference or a body shape index (ABSI) differ in strata of cardiometabolic health status.<p> <p>Methods - We linked data on 12,815 men and women aged 36–79 years from the SAMINOR 1 Survey with mortality data ...
