Abstract:
Valstybino vaistų kainų reguliavimo tyrimai iki šiol nebuvo plačiai atliekami. Lietuvoje vėl bandoma pritaikyti seną nepasiteisinusį būdą - riboti konkurenciją vaistų rinkoje, - taikyti buhalterines priemones riboti prekybininkų antkainį. Receptinių vaistų kainos buvo reguliuojamos iki 2002 m. ir šio reguliavimo buvo atsisakyta dėl grėsmės gyventojams apskirtai neturėti galimybės įsigyti vaistų. Susiformavus kainų reguliavimo užuomazgoms, vaistų kainų reguliavimo problema tapo viena iš aktualiausių šių dienų tyrimų klausimu. Tačiau iki šiol dažniausiai nagrinėjami tik konkretūs atskirų sričių (energetikos, žemės ūkio, transporto) taikomi kainų reguliavimo būdai bei juos formuojantys veiksniai. Tuo tarpu Lietuvoje valstybino vaistų kainų reguliavimo sritis yra gan nauja, moksliniuose darbuose nedaug nagrinėjama ir jų metodologijos interpretavimo klausimų yra nedaug pateikta. Todėl susidaro prielaida įsigilinti labiau į šią sritį, ar vaistų kainų reguliavimas yra efektyvus Lietuvos farmacijos rinkoje.
State drug price control studies to date have not been widely carried out. Lithuania once again the failed attempt to adapt the old way - to limit competition in the drug market - the application of accounting measures to limit traders' mark-up. Prescription drug prices were regulated until 2002 and this regulation was abandoned in favor of the threat the population in general, not be able to buy drugs. Formation of the rudiments of price regulation, price regulation of medicines has become a problem in one of the most pressing issue of today's research. However, so far mostly dealt with only specific individual areas (energy, agriculture, transport), subject to price regulation and their methods of forming factors. In Lithuania the public domain in the prices of medicines are relatively new, few research works question the methodology and interpretation issues are given little. Therefore implies a greater insight into this area or regulation of prices of medicines are effective in Lithuanian pharmaceutical market.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to explore and provide an understanding of Kainai peacekeeping and peacemaking within the context of the Kainai worldview, employing postcolonial Indigenous theory and a Kainai process of inquiry. Relying on the oral tradition, as articulated by Káínai elders, as a primary source, Káínai peacekeeping and peacemaking is elucidated through an interpretive approach that examines the foundational principles of the Káínai worldview, as well as Káínai values, relationships, traditions, and customs. It is demonstrated how these function in unison to effect peacekeeping and peacemaking. The results of this study further an understanding of Káínai peacekeeping and peacemaking, aboriginal justice in general and Indigenous knowledge. The results will also contribute to Káínai in the development of a contemporary peacemaking model as part of its Justice Initiative.

Abstract:
Aboriginal educations is an ambiguous field of study that presents many challenging dilemmas for educators today. A major part of this ambiguity stems from the tendency to emphasize traditional cultural values, Aboriginal identity, and experiences as distinct and unique, and therefore essentially different from mainstream approaches to education. By drawing upon the memories and narrative of my own Metis family as well as the history and memories of the people of the Kainai community from the Blood Reserve in Alberta, I confront some of these dilemmas in both personal and collective ways. Following Eduoard Glissant, Francoise Lionnet, and Mark Zuss, I explore the character of the Kainai community as a tetissage of texts and genres which overlap, interact, juxtapose, and mix the textual contributions of an elder, a student, and a teacher (myself) to create a more complicated portrait of the Kainai community that stretches beyond the 'us versus them' binary. These texts are then interpreted using a (post)colonial framework largely based upon the works of Frantz Fanon, Gerald Vizenor, Homi Bhabha, and Neal McLeod.

Resumo: A presente dissertação avalia a pertinência do emprego da noção de Aspecto para definir a função desempenhada por um conjunto de partículas oracionais finais na língua Kaingang (família Jê, tronco Macro-Jê). Essa língua indígena é falada no Brasil Meridional em uma população de cerca de 30 mil pessoas. Para tanto, apresenta-se uma revisão da abordagem teórica dos fatos lingüísticos comumente classificados na categoria de Aspecto, destacando as distintas visões do fenômeno, muitas vezes tomado em perspectivas divergentes em diferentes autores. Ressalta-se, por exemplo, a distinção - para alguns teóricos, clara e necessária; para outros, inexistente ou sem grande utilidade - entre Aspecto e Acionalidade ('Aktionsart'). Há resenhas da bibliografia sobre a língua Kaingang, destacando as obras em que o tema foi abordado ou mencionado de algum modo. Finalmente, analisa-se um 'corpus' produzido, em sua maior parte, por dados colhidos diretamente em campo em função dessa pesquisa (uma parte dele, no entanto, é constituído de dados emprestados de outros trabalhos de pesquisa). A partir desses dados, sugerem-se hipóteses sobre a função de tais partículas, apontando, em algumas, efetivas funções aspectuais, mas em outras, uma função modal ou uma perspectiva de evidenciar Acionalidade
Abstract: This dissertation evaluates the relevancy of using the notion of Aspect to define the function performed by a set of final phrasal particles in the Kaingang language (Jê family, Macro-Jê stock). This aboriginal language is spoken by a population of about thirty thousand people in Southern Brazil. For this, a revision of the theoretical approach of the linguistic facts usually classified as Aspect's category is presented, detaching the distinct viewpoints about the phenomenon, many times taken in divergent perspectives by different authors. It's standed out, for example, the distinction - for some theoreticians, clear and necessary; for others, inexistent or without much use - between Aspect and Actionality ('Aktionsart'). There are bibliography summaries on the Kaingang language, detaching the workmanships where the subject boarded or was mentioned in some way. Finally, it is analyzed a set of data that, in its bigger part, was produced in field investigation specially applied for this research (a part of it, however, is constituted of borrowed data of other works of research). From these data, hypotheses are suggested on the function of such particles, concluding, in some cases, that they have effective aspectual functions, but in others, they suggest a modal function or a perspective of evidencing Actionality

O presente trabalho trata-se de um estudo de caso na Aldeia Indígena Queimadas, localizada no município de Ortigueira/PR - que investiga as práticas dos professores Kaingang, contrapondo-as com as indicações presentes no Referencial Curricular Nacional para as Escolas Indígenas. A pesquisa procura problematizar as falas dos professores Kaingang buscando compreender os desejos e anseios dos professores em relação à escola na aldeia, as ações pedagógicas desenvolvidas com as crianças e o modo que vêm se organizando para construir uma escola verdadeiramente indígena, sendo esta específica/diferenciada, comunitária, intercultural e bilíngüe/multilíngüe. Utilizamos a abordagem metodológica de natureza qualitativa-etnográfica que apoiou-se nos procedimentos metodológicos como entrevistas e conversas com os professores-índios Kaingang, que proporcionou os mecanismos necessários para a reflexão da educação escolar indígena kaingang em Queimadas. A discussão inicia-se apresentando a realidade da educação escolar indígena no Estado do Paraná, dando, em seguida, ênfase à educação escolar indígena ofertada na Escola Estadual Indígena Cacique Crispin Guê-Mon, na aldeia Queimadas. Buscamos identificar a aldeia Queimadas, apresentando os aspectos culturais, sociais e econômicos dos Kaingang que ali vivem. Em seqüência, apresentamos a legislação brasileira e a documentação que rege a educação escolar indígena no Brasil. Temos como ponto de partida a Constituição de 1988, já que a consideramos um marco na conquista dos povos indígenas. Perpassamos por outros documentos como as Diretrizes para a Política Nacional de Educação Escolar Indígena, a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases (Lei 9394/96), o Referencial Curricular Nacional para as Escolas Indígenas, as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais da Educação Escolar Indígena, o Plano Nacional de Educação e o Plano Estadual de Educação do Estado do Paraná. Fixamo-nos mais atentamente ao Referencial Curricular Nacional para as Escolas Indígenas, já que o consideramos como um dos documentos mais importantes no que tange às discussões e orientações didáticas para os professores índios, auxiliando-os a construir e elaborar práticas escolares que permitem a construção de uma escola verdadeiramente indígena. Em contrapartida, apresentamos as falas dos professores Kaingang, revelando suas práticas desenvolvidas em sala de aula e analisando se estas são desenvolvidas em acordo com as propostas presentes no RCNEI/Indígena ou não. Os dados obtidos durante a pesquisa de campo apontam que, primeiro, os professores da Escola Estadual Indígena Cacique Crispin Guê-Mon desconhecem do documento emitido pelo MEC, o RCNEI/Indígena. Embora desconhecendo o documento, a prática pedagógica dos professores privilegia os conteúdos, propostas e ações apontadas pelo referido documento. No entanto, em muitos momentos, a prática dos professores revela que a escola na aldeia se assemelha muito mais com uma escola rural, já que se privilegia uma proposta de currículo que se faz presente nas escolas não-indígenas do Paraná. No entanto, os professores têm a consciência de que a escola é um forte instrumento para a manter viva a cultura kaingang na aldeia, por isso lutam para diminuir as faltas dos alunos nas aulas e, principalmente, a evasão escolar.

Abstract:
Kainate receptors (KARs) are highly expressed during postnatal development and are likely to play an important role in the synaptic mechanisms underlying maturation of neural networks. Despite recent advances in our understanding of the molecular biology and pharmacology of KARs comparatively little is known about developmental changes in native receptors and the relative contributions of individual subunits to KAR complexes. Using antibodies specific to GluR6/7 and KA2 subunits Immuno and histoblots were used to demonstrate quantitatively that the mechanisms controlling subunit expression during postnatal development are differentially regulated in a precise temporal and region-specific manner.

Abstract:
Tiivistelmä. Tutkimus käsittelee liikuntaa alakoulussa opettavien opettajien liikunnan oppilasarvioinnissa käyttämiä menetelmiä ja osa-alueita. Tavoitteena oli selvittää mitkä asiat vaikuttavat liikunnan oppilasarviointiin alakoulussa, minkä painoarvon opettajat antavat millekin liikunnan arvioinnin osa-alueelle ja mitä menetelmiä opettajat käyttävät arviointitietoa kerätessään. Tutkimuksen kohteena olivat myös selvittää opettajien mielipiteitä arvioinnin haastavuudesta. Tutkimuksessa pyrittiin selvittämään myös onko opetuskokemuksella ja koulutustaustalla vaikutusta arviointiin. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, miten opettajat kokevat mahdollisen lisäkoulutuksen tarpeen arvioinnin kokemiseen liittyen. Oppimiskäsityksen muuttuessa behavioristisesta kohti kognitiivista myös arvioinnin luonne on muuttunut. Arviointi nähdään prosessina, joka on osana kaikkia oppimisen ja opettamisen vaiheita. Sillä nähdään olevan vaikutusta oppilaan oppimiseen ja oppimisprosessin kulkuun. Liikunnan opetuksen keskeinen tavoite on liikunnalliseen elämäntapaan kasvattaminen ja tässä myös arvioinnin merkitys korostuu. Kokonaisuudessaan arvioinnin tavoitteena on tukea oppilaan kasvua ja kehitystä. Opettaja tekee arviointiaan oman persoonansa myötä, jolloin opettajan arvot, ihmiskäsitys ja oppimiskäsitys vaikuttavat työskentelyn taustalla. Tutkimuksen kohdejoukkona olivat Kainuun alueen alakoulujen liikuntaa opettavat opettajat. Kyselyn vastaajajoukon koko oli 86 kappaletta kahdeltakymmeneltäyhdeksältä koululta. Kyselyyn vastasi 53 naista ja 33 miestä. Tutkimus toteutettiin kvantitatiivisesti, jota laajennettiin avoimilla kysymyksillä. Kyselylomakkeessa oli yhteensä kymmenen kysymystä, joista seitsemän oli monivalinta- tai suljettuja kysymyksiä ja kolme avoimia kysymyksiä. Aineisto kerättiin keväällä 2012 postikyselynä. Analysointimenetelminä tutkimusongelmiin vastattaessa käytettiin frekvenssianalyysia, keskiarvoa, keskihajontaa sekä Spearmanin järjestyskorrelaatiokerrointa. Avoimia kysymyksiä luokiteltiin aihealueittain, joista etsittiin täydennyksiä opettajien antamiin vastauksiin kvantitatiivisten kysymysten lisäksi. Tutkimuksen tuloksista kävi ilmi, että tutkimuksessa esitetyistä liikunnan oppilasarvioinnin osa-alueista opettajat painottivat eniten kiinnostusta ja asennetta sekä liikuntataitoja. Pienin painoarvo oli puolestaan liikuntatiedoilla. Arviointimenetelminä opettajat käyttivät eniten selkeästi eniten havainnointia ja tarkkailua. Arviointimenetelmistä vähiten opettajat käyttivät työssään portfoliota, kirjallisia liikuntatietoja mittaavia kokeita ja toveriarviointia. Tutkittaessa opettajan työkokemuksen ja koulutustaustan mahdollista yhteyttä arvioinnin kokemisen helppouteen ja haastavuuteen ei löytynyt yhteyttä. Suurin osa opettajista koki, ettei lisäkoulutukselle ole tarvetta. Tutkimuksesta kävi ilmi, että opettajat toivoisivat arvioinnin olevan tasapuolista niin paikkakuntakohtaisesti kuin valtakunnallisella tasolla.

Resumo: Essa tese busca compreender a cosmologia Kaingang a partir de três rituais: A festa do Kuiâ (xamã), A festa do Kikikoi e o Ritual de purificação da viúva. Esses três rituais simbolizam diferentes tempos que estou chamando de os três tempos do mundo, considerando que a cosmologia Kaingang está assentada sobre ciclos de conflagração e regeneração da terra. Esses rituais que tomam de empréstimos alguns símbolos cristãos estão, no entanto, profundamente pautados sobre uma concepção própria do mundo, justificados por mitos que são atualizados durante suas celebrações. Esses três rituais estão relacionados à celebração da agricultura, à volta dos mortos numa festa de confraternização entre vivos e mortos e na posterior separação desses espaços. o estudo dos três rituais mencionadospermite perceber que as referências cosmológicas dos Kaingang estão sustentadasem símbolos multireferenciais que se recobrem. As variações encontradas podem ser explicadas como um mesmo ciclo ritual que se partiu, ou como o desenvolvimento de diferentes tradições que, no entanto, expressam uma mesma simbologia: A vida na terra é dependente do destino dos mortos porque a sociedade dos vivos é eternamente recriada pelos ancestrais mortos: "nossos troncos ", "nossos antigos ". A cosmologia Kaingang está também ancorada na possibilidade de contato, entre diferentes espécies de espíritos, que habitam o cosmos, realizados através da capacidade de comunicação dos humanos com eles e da metamorfose entre diferentes maneiras de ser
Abstract: This thesis aims at understanding Kaingang cosmology by studing three rituais: the Kuiâ (shaman) Celebration, the Kikikoi Festival, and the Widowed Person's Purification Ritual. These three rituais symbolize different times which I called the three times o, the world, taking in to account the fact that the Kaingang cosmology rests on cycles of earth conflagration and regeneration. These rituais, even though borrowing some Christian symbols, are profoundly supported on their own conception of the world. They are justified by myths that, at the same time, are updated during the ritual celebration. Such rituais are related to the agriculture's celebration, the return of the dead for a reunion festivity with the living, and the later return to their original places. The study of the three mentioned rituais allows us to realize that the cosmological references of the Kaingang are founded on multireferencial symbols which re-cover themselves. The variations found can be accounted for either as the same ritual cycle that has been splitted up, or as the development of different traditions which, on the other hand express the same symbology: life on earth depends upon the destiny of the dead because society of the living is eternally recreated by the dead ancestors ("our trunk", "our ancienr). The Kaingang cosmology is also anchored on the possibility of the contact between distinct species of spirits which inhabit the cosmos. These contacts are made by means of the human communication capacity with those spirits and by the possible metamorphosis between different conditions of being

Abstract:
Esta tese descreve as orações complexas da língua kaingang com base nos pressupostos teóricos da Linguística Descritiva e Funcional. Tem como objetivos: abordar, de um ponto de vista descritivo, as orações complexas do kaingang, com vistas a contribuir na elaboração de uma gramática pedagógica da língua; possibilitar material de fácil acesso a professores bilíngues das escolas indígenas do Norte do Paraná; contribuir com os estudos comparativos das línguas da família linguística Jê e; descrever a estrutura das orações subordinadas – completivas, relativas e adverbiais – e das orações coordenadas, partindo da escala de integração gramatical proposta por Payne (1997). Além de Payne (1997), a análise embasou-se nos pressupostos teóricos de Andrews (2007), Haspelmath (2007), Givón (1979, 2001), Keenan (1985), Keenan e Comrie (1997) Noonan (1985, 2007), Santana (2010), Thompson, Longacre e Hwang (2007). Apresenta dados coletados com um informante professor bilíngue da Terra Indígena Apucaraninha (Tamarana – PR). Para coleta de dados utilizou-se questionários constituídos de orações, em português, com a estrutura do objeto de análise. Aponta como principais resultados que: a) a língua diferencia a marcação de caso dos argumentos S, A e O nas orações principais e subordinadas, exibindo o sistema nominativo-acusativo nas orações principais e o sistema ergativo-absolutivo nas orações subordinadas. As orações coordenadas, assim como as orações simples da língua, exibem o sistema nominativo-acusativo; b) há semelhanças na estrutura das orações subordinadas completivas e relativas: em ambas as construções, a oração subordinada ocorre como uma oração encaixada na posição de um argumento da oração principal; c) as orações completivas e relativas não apresentam uma marca morfológica na oração subordinada, de maneira que a subordinação dessas orações à oração principal se dá em termos semânticos; d) constatou-se cinco tipos de orações subordinadas adverbiais: temporais, locativas, condicionais, finais e causais; e) nas orações adverbiais, há o emprego de conjunções e advérbios; f) constatou-se quatro tipos de coordenação: conjuntiva, disjuntiva, adversativa e conclusiva; g) a língua permite a coordenação de sintagmas e orações por meio de conjunções, advérbios e indicadores de opinião que funcionam como coordenadores, segundo Haspelmath (2007).
This thesis describes the complex clauses of kaingang language based on the conceptual framework of Descriptive and Functional Linguistics. It aims to: address, from a descriptive point of view, kaingang complex clauses in order to contribute in developing a pedagogical grammar of the language; allow easy materials access to bilingual teachers of Indian schools in northern Paraná; contribute to comparative studies of languages and Ge linguistic family; describe subordinate clauses structure – complementation, relative and adverbial - and coordinate clauses, based on the grammatical scale integration proposed by Payne (1997). In addition to Payne (1997), the analysis is based on Andrews theoretical assumptions (2007), Haspelmath (2007), Givón (1979, 2001), Keenan (1985), Keenan and Comrie (1997) Noonan (1985, 2007) Santana (2010), Thompson, Longacre and Hwang (2007). This study presents data collected with a bilingual teacher of Indigenous as an informant from Apucaraninha (Tamarana - PR). For data collection, we used questionnaires consisting of clauses in Portuguese, with the object´s structure of analysis. As main results the study pinted out: a) the language differentiates the case marking of arguments S, A and O in the main and subordinate clauses, showing nominative-accusative system in main clauses and ergative - absolutive system in subordinate clauses. The coordinates clauses, as well as the simple clauses of language, show nominative-accusative system; b) there are similarities between the structure of sentential complementation and relative clauses: in both constructions, the subordinate clause occurs as a sentence embedded in an argument position in the main clause; c) the sentential complementation and relative clauses do not present a morphological mark on the subordinate clause, so that the subordination of these clauses to the main clause occurs in semantic terms; d) it was found five types of adverbial subordinate clauses: temporal, locative, conditional, causal and final; e) on the adverbial clauses, there is the use of conjunctions and adverbs; f) it found four types of coordination: conjunctive, disjunctive, adversative and conclusive; g) the language allows coordination of phrases and clauses using conjunctions, adverbs and opinion indicators that act as coordinators, according to Haspelmath (2007).

Pasaulio globalizacijos procesas, Lietuvos švietimo integracija į Europos Sąjungos švietimo erdvę reikalauja ir mokyklų vadovų įvairiapusių kompetencijų, kad galėtų patenkinti bendruomenės poreikius, kurie identifikuoja ne tik mokinį, mokytoją, tėvus(globėjus), bet ir nuolat besikeičiančią fizinę ir ekonominę aplinką. Šiuolaikinei bendrojo lavinimo mokyklai yra reikalingi aukščiausios kvalifikacijos vadybos specialistai: kompetentingi, turintys reikiamų žinių ir praktinių įgūdžių, nuolat tobulinantys savo kvalifikaciją bei vadybinius gebėjimus, darantys įtaką kaitos procesams savo mokyklose. Vykstant kaitos procesams, keičiasi ir pagrindinių mokyklų vadovai, kurie turi prisitaikyti prie kintančių švietimo reformų sąlygų, bandyti keisti patiems save bei savo institucijas. Todėl įdomu, ar pagrindinių mokyklų vadovai yra pasirengę pradėti keistis nuo savęs, keisti darbo metodus, vadovautis kitomis tiesomis, gilinti vadybos žinias ir taikyti jas nelengvame darbe. Atsižvelgiant į tai, buvo iškelta tyrimo problema. Nors apie vadovavimo stilius ir mokyklų kaitą atlikti įvairūs tyrimai, ta���iau kyla probleminių klausimų, ar pagrindinės mokyklos vadovas gali savarankiškai veikti vadovaujamos mokyklos kaitą, ar pagrindinės mokyklos vadovo vadovavimo stilius lemia pedagoginį procesą.

Abstract:
Kainoid amino acids are a family of none proteinogenic pyrrolidine dicarboxylic acids with similar structures and can be viewed as conformationally restricted analogues of the mammalian neurotransmitter L-glutamic acid. As the parent structure of the kainoid amino acid family, (–)-kainic acid has attracted tremendous attention because of its neuroexcitatory properties in neuropharmacology to mimic the disease states of epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, and Huntington’s chorea. In this thesis, a formal synthesis of (±)-kainic acid has been achieved, via a Lewis acid-catalyzed carbonyl ene cyclization as the key step, from simple starting materials 3.1 (Scheme 1). In the key step, quantitative yield of cyclization was achieved by utilizing 0.3 equivalents of Gd(OTf)3 as the catalyst in anhydrous DCM, yielding key intermediate 3.25. Moreover, the Lewis acid-catalyzed enantioselective carbonyl ene cyclization of α-keto amides (Scheme 2) represents a powerful method for the preparation of substituted pyrrolidinones. [Cu(S,S)-phenyl](SbF6)2 was found to be the most efficient chiral Lewis acid, and high yields, excellent enantioselectivity were obtained in the products. The substrate scope, reaction mechanism, diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity of the reaction have also been systematically investigated by both experimental and computational chemistry approaches. Finally, a formal synthesis of (–)-kainic acid have been accomplished via Lewis acid-promoted PhSe group transfer radical cyclization as key the step (Scheme 3). (–)-8-Phenylmenthol was employed as a chiral auxiliary in cyclization precursor 5.13 to control the diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity of the radical cyclization.

Abstract:
Akcijų rinkos yra viena svarbiausių ekonomikos sudedamųjų dalių, be jos nebūtų įmanoma įsivaizduoti nei vienos išsivysčiusios pasaulio šalies. Bendrą akcijų rinkos vertę galima laikyti, pasaulio ar konkrečios šalies, regiono ekonominiu įvertinimu. Ji pastoviai yra veikiama įvairiausių veiksnių, tokių kaip infliacija, nedarbo lygis, vartojimo lygis, palūkanų normos, fiskalinės ir monetarinės politikos, bei naftos kainų. Šis veiksnys, kaip sudedamasis akcijų rinkos vienetas yra nagrinėjamas šiame darbe. Pasak Basher ir Sadorsky (2006) naftos kainos yra modernios ekonomikos kraujas. Nors nėra lengva prognozuoti kokia bus naftos paklausa ateityje, tačiau yra aišku kad naftos paklausa yra labai stipriai koreliuota su industriniu šalies išsivystymu. Ekonomikai stiprėjant energijos paklausa (ypatingai naftos) taip pat kyla. Labai svarbu išsiaiškinti, kas šiuos kainos pokyčius lemia, ar tai ilgalaikis reiškinys bei kokius pokyčius tai gali iššaukti ateityje. Tuo pačiu labai svarbu suprasti kokią įtaką ekonomikai turi naftos kaina. Tam kad tinkamai suprasti šį poveikį reikia ištirti ar yra ryšys tarp žaliavinės naftos ir vertybinių popierių. Šiam ryšiui egzistuojant, būtina nustatyti koks jis yra. Šiame darbe nagrinėjama kaip naftos kainos įtakoja akcijų rinkas. Taip pat tiriama kokius investicinius sprendimus galima priimti atsižvelgiant į naftos kainą, ir jos pokyčius. Tyrimo objektas – Naftos kainos įtaka akcijų rinkai.

Stock market is one of the main parts of economy, without it it is impossible to imagine any modern country. The total value of the stock market can be taken as the whole world’s or a certain country’s, region’s economical evaluation. It is always impacted with various economical factors like inflation, unemployment rate, consumption rate, interest rates, fiscal and monetary policies and oil prices. This factor, as one of the factors to stock market, is studied in this work. According to Basher and Sadorsky (2006) oil prices is a modern economies blood. Thought it is not easy to forecast what the demand of oil will be in the coming years, but it is totally clear that demand is very strongly correlated with industrial evolution. While the economy is getting stronger the demand for energy (especially oil) is rising too. It is very important to know what is causing these variations, is it a long-term phenomenon and what changes it can make in the future. It is also very important to know what impact oil price has on economy. To properly understand this we need to analyze is there a relation between oil price and stock market. If this relation exists we need to measure it. In this work we analyze how oil prices impacts the stock market. Also we analyze what investment decisions you can make, according to oil prices and it changes. Research object – oil price impact to stock market.

A dissertação com o tema "Cultura surda e educação escolar Kaingang" tem como foco principal o registro baseado nos sinais Kaingang, desenvolvidos na comunicação dos surdos na escola, em casa e na Aldeia. A pesquisa foi realizada na Escola Indígena de Educação Básica Cacique Vanhkre, situada na Aldeia Sede, município de Ipuaçu, oeste de Santa Catarina. A pesquisa assumiu um caráter participante pois, a pesquisadora desenvolveu um papel triplo, atuando também como docente no período vespertino (1ª a 4ª série) e intérprete de Língua Brasileira de Sinais junto aos surdos Kaingang incluídos numa 6ª série no período matutino. Sem priorizar uma análise Lingüística, buscou-se estudar o processo cultural de criação e uso de signos pertinentes aos significados da cultura Kaingang, na interação dos surdos da comunidade com a Língua Brasileira de Sinais, também conhecida como Libras e utilizada como língua oficial das comunidades surdas no Brasil urbano. Com o olhar voltado a esta comunicação (os sinais Kaingang e a LSB), a pesquisa buscou identificar os elementos culturais que constituem a identidade dos surdos Kaingang e analisar os contextos em que os sinais lingüísticos surdos próprios à cultura Kaingang se legitimam e se entrelaçam com a LSB. O contexto para qual não poderia ter sido mais adequado: a escola. Ambiente propício ao registro, a interpretação, a análise contextual dos sinais e das formas de comunicação entre surdos na comunidade Kaingang. O que possibilitou o estudo das representações que se fazem destes surdos na comunidade, assim como os processos de identificação cultural "Surdo/Índio". A lógica de análise fundamenta-se no reconhecimento das diferenças como alteridade, o que requer uma visão de cultura, de povo, de língua e de humano que supere a lógica bipolar (certo ou errado, feio ou bonito, superior e inferior), que ao longo da história tem servido como chave de interpretação das relações interculturais. The thesis "Deaf culture and Gaingang scholar education " has its main focus based on the analysis about Kaingang's Sign Language used by deaf members from the tribe aiming to communicate at home, school and also in their local community. The research took place at their aboriginal school "Escola Índigena Estadual Básica Cacique Vanhkre", in Ipuaçu, a town in the west of Santa Catarina. The researcher took on a triple role - besides being a researcher, she was also an interpreter during the mornings for some deaf children included in a Junior High Group and used to teach a Junior Group composed by deaf students during the afternoons. That is why this work has assumed a partaker nature. It is important to mention that this work is not a Linguistic Analyze. Herein the researcher considers the interface between signs belonging to Kaingang Culture and Brazilian Sign Language, also known as "Libras" (from "Língua Brasileira de Sinais"), used as the official language for deaf communities from the urban Brazil. Focusing on this particular communication (Kaingang signs and Libras), this work identifies some cultural elements responsible for building up Kaingang deaf's identity and its interaction with Libras according to the real context in which these specific signs, belonging to Kaingang culture, take place. The setting chosen for developing this research could not fit better: the school. There, it was possible to follow some abilities as writing, interpretation, contextual analyzes and different possibilities of communication between deaf people among themselves and among others into their local community and their processes of cultural identity "Deaf/Aborigine" as well. The logical process of this analyze is based on differences as alterity, for example. What needs an overall view about culture, people, language and also about some concepts of human that overcomes the bipolar logical (right or wrong, ugly or pretty, superior and inferior). It means some thoughts that have been used as the keystone for interpreting intercultural relationships.

Esta dissertação apresenta como tema central a política entre os índios kaingang, tendo como foco os Kaingang da TI Rio da Várzea (RS), região também conhecida como Penhkár. Considerando que o domínio político ultrapassa os planos público e masculino de atuação, busca-se realizar descrições centradas no domínio doméstico e no plano da sociabilidade, colocando luz sobre os mecanismos pelos quais os indígenas concentram relações, revelam proeminências, e assim constituem figuras da liderança e unidades sócio-políticas. Temas como guerra, faccionalismo, autoridade, chefia e coerção são retomados a partir de releituras de registros históricos e da crítica emergente desta etnografia. Apresenta-se, por fim, uma reflexão sobre os processos indígenas de mimetização dos sistemas jurídico e punitivo dos "brancos", propondo conexões com a questão da afinidade kaingang.
This dissertation presents as central subject the kaingang politics, centering into the kaingang Indians from Rio da Várzea Indigenous Territory (RS), region also known as Penhkár. Considering that the political domain goes beyond the public and masculine plans of actuation, descriptions focused on the domestic domain and the sociability plan are carried out, putting in evidence the mechanisms through which the indians concentrate relationships, reveal political prominences, and then constitute leadership figures and sociopolitical unities. Themes as war, factionalism, authority, chiefness and coercion are revisited out of readings of historical records and the criticism that emerges from this ethnography. Finally, a reflection about the indigenous mimicry of the "white" juridical and punitive systems is presented, proposing connections with the kaingang affinity issue.

Abstract:
This thesis discusses intergenerational communication and well-being in Aboriginal life, using a literature review and research conducted in relation to the Blood people and culture. It addresses issues concerning lack of communication of traditional ways of knowing, teaching, and being. Interviews were used to better understand the dynamics of intergenerational communication and well-being. It is historically know by First Nations communities that the older people of the clan or tribe taught the children from infancy to adolescence. This, unfortunately, is not the case in many First Nations communities today, due to colonization, assimilation, and segregation. It is hoped this research will assist those who wish to develop, implement and enhance future social, educational, and health programs for the well-being of the First Nations child, family and community. The results also suggest ways in which to enhance and foster the value of elders in the community.

Abstract:
A partir do cotejo e da análise de várias obras pictóricas (pinturas, gravuras e ilustrações do Japão) e narrativas (livros, contos, peças de teatro, filmes, animações e quadrinhos japoneses), este trabalho busca apresentar a variedade e o sincretismo do sobrenatural no Japão, que não se encontra somente nos deuses xintoístas (kami), nas divindades budistas (bosatsu), nos fantasmas (yûrei), nas criaturas folclóricas (yôkai) e nos fenômenos sobrenaturais produzidos por estes, mas também nos monges, xamãs, adivinhos e nas tentativas de controlar magicamente o rumo das coisas amuletos, oráculos, festivais, rituais e oferendas. O primeiro capítulo apresenta um breve histórico das pesquisas sobre youkais e também procura defini-los e apresentar suas características próprias. O estudo prossegue definindo e caracterizando também os fantasmas japoneses. No segundo capítulo, tratamos de Tôkaidô Yotsuya Kaidan (1825), peça de kabuki escrita por Tsuruya Nanboku IV, a obra fantástica mais adaptada do Japão. Através dela, observamos o terror sobrenatural criado a partir de uma base realista-naturalista e tentamos discutir as mudanças nos papéis desempenhados pelos gêneros e as imbricadas relações entre fato, ficção, religião e folclore. Além disso, apresentamos em detalhes o icônico personagem de Oiwa e também exemplos de como são executados efeitos especiais teatrais conhecidos em japonês como keren. A dissertação se conclui com observações sobre as dificuldades encontradas no estudo de uma cultura estrangeira e a apresentação de questões suscitadas pelo decurso da pesquisa
From the collation and analysis of various pictorial works ( paintings, prints and illustrations from Japan ) and narratives ( Japanese books, short stories, plays, films, animations and comics ) , this study aims to present the variety and the syncretism of the supernatural in Japan, which is not only in the Shinto gods ( kami ), in the Buddhist deities ( bosatsu ), in ghosts ( yûrei ), in folkloric creatures ( yôkai ) and in supernatural phenomena produced by them, but also in the monks, shamans, diviners and in attempts to magically control the direction of things amulets, oracles, festivals, rituals and offerings. The first chapter presents a brief history of research on yokai and also seeks to define them and present their own characteristics. The study goes on also defining and featuring the Japanese ghosts. In the second chapter, we treat of Tôkaido Yotsuya Kaidan (1825), written by Tsuruya Nanboku IV, the most adapted fantastique work of Japan. Through it, we see the supernatural horror created from a realistic-naturalistic base and we try to discuss the changes in roles played by genders and the intertwined relations between fact, fiction, religion and folklore. Furthermore, we present in detail the iconic character of Oiwa and also examples of how theatrical special effects known in Japanese as keren run. The dissertation concludes with observations on the difficulties encountered in the study of a foreign culture and with the presentation of issues raised by the course of the research

In this paper is analysed how education changes process, education policy‘s usefulness depends on social organizations‘ involvement into this process. Namely teachers‘units, unifying teachers, who directly participate in education process, can help education politics to make rational decisions and to prompt teachers to improve, play up public not only in the direct work, but also creating education policy. Problem of the research. Education is related with permanent changes process, therefore Lithuania‘s general training marks, quality characteristics, activity‘s usefulness, teachers‘ improvement and certification are revised. In this plane also centralization/decentralization process, functions‘ distribution among separate education links questions and another group of the questions – teachers‘ work conditions, payments and etc. It is necessary to involve as many participants as possible into education policy‘s creation, to develop social dialogue. Teachers, united into unions, seek to participate into education changes process and to represent their interests. Here arise the problem do teachers‘ unions have opportunity to influence education changes process determining decisions at the national and... [to full text]

Europoje vykstantys negatyvūs procesai mus pasiekia labai greitai. Dėl patogios geografinės padėties Lietuva tampa alkoholio ir kitų narkotikų tranzito šalimi. Auga narkotinių medžiagų prieinamumas ir tiekimas, neteisėta jų pasiūla bei paklausa ir poreikis narkotikams. Kovai su tokio pobūdžio blogybėmis nebuvo pasirengta, laiku nepradėta prevencinė veikla. Iš kitos pusės – vykstančios greitos permainos šalies ekonomikoje, socialinėje sferoje ir žmonių gyvenime keičia visuomenės požiūrį į kai kuriuos reiškinius, tame tarpe ir požiūrį į narkotinių medžiagų vartojimą. Plinta alkoholizmas, narkomanija, daugėja problemų, susijusių su girtavimu. Jaunimas yra labiausiai pažeidžiama visuomenės dalis. Sklando įvairūs mitai apie narkotikus bei jų poveikį žmogaus psichikai. Formuojasi savas jaunimo požiūris į narkotikus ir jų vartojimą. Tam didelę įtaką daro žiniasklaida ir televizijoje rodomų kino filmų herojai. Kai kurie jaunuoliai/ės galvoja, kad techno ir repo muzika neįmanoma be narkotikų. Todėl ieško informacijos apie lengvus narkotikus, jų galimas ir dar nekenksmingas dozes. Ir tokios informacijos jie randa. Nesuprasdami pavojaus, jaunuoliai/ės ne tik linkę vartoti narkotikus, bet bando užsiimti su narkotikais susijusia rizikinga veikla – juos platinti.

Various documents state that the future of each nation depends on rising generation. The quality of education of exactly this generation is going to become a determinant of the future. In my paper I have tried to find out what quality is, how it is perceived in comprehensive schools, which management strategies ensure processes of quality vicissitude. In the theoretical part I have reviewed a conception of quality in literary sources, analyzed management principles and strategies that guarantee quality vicissitude. In empirical part I have showed how quality is perceived in exploratory education institutions, analyzed how chosen management strategies influence quality of education, and prepared a model of quality evaluation. My research involved 5 Alytus County schools, 144 teachers, 228 students, 228 parents and 12 school principals and their deputies. The results of the research showed that quality conception in schools is based on organization of education process, reassurance of safe environment, students’ results, and purposeful management. According to all respondents’ opinion a sense of security is a very important factor when aiming for quality. Teachers and students are quite worried about the change, renewal of school philosophy; still, at the same time they are interested in innovations, education documents that ensure vicissitude of education quality.

Abstract:
Kainate receptor channels are a class of ion channels found on the membrane of nerve cells. These proteins play a key role in the brain, since their properties regulate the strength of the synapses. Their structure and gating mechanisms are still extensively studied by biologists: originally closed, the channel opens upon the binding of kainate, allowing ions to flow inside the cell through the pores and creating thus an electrical current. It undergoes then a desensitization: the channel is closed even if the kainite is still bound. In this Master's Thesis, we put forward a mathematical model that reproduces both qualitatively and quantitatively the observed behaviours of kainate receptor channels. The distinctive feature of the model lies in its original framework ANC, which uses rule-based formalism to model allosteric proteins. We find that compared to traditional kinetic scheme, our model has the advantage of being scalable. We propose furthermore an alternative model. It includes a new hypothesis, namely that the ions that flow through the channel alter its gating properties. We illustrate the modularity of ANC, which enables a straightforward definition of the new model from the former, and an easy switch between these two. Our results suggest finally that this new model agrees with the biological observed behaviours of the channels.

Abstract:
Kainate receptors (KARs) are glutamate-gated ion channels that regulate neuronal excitability and network function in the brain. They can signal through both canonical ionotropic and a non-canonical metabotropic pathway. They regulate neuronal excitability by undergoing plasticity themselves while also regulating plasticity of other receptors. Most KARs contain the subunit GluK2 and the precise properties of these GluK2-containing KARs are determined by additional factors including ADAR2-mediated mRNA editing of a single codon that changes a genomically encoded glutamine (Q) to an arginine (R), which affects their assembly, trafficking and channel properties. I initially set out to study the role of KARs in various forms of plasticity including long term potentiation (LTP) and long term depression (LTD) of AMPA receptors (AMPAR) and homeostatic scaling of KARs themselves. I was unable to reliably replicate previous data showing transient KAR stimulation leads to their increased surface expression which in turn increases AMPAR surface expression. Interestingly however, I discovered that sustained KAR stimulation decreased AMPAR surface expression leading to AMPAR LTD. In addition, I identified that KARs undergo homeostatic plasticity whereby they upscale and downscale in response to changes in the network activity. My findings show that ADAR2-dependent Q/R editing of GluK2 is dynamically regulated during homeostatic plasticity elicited by the suppression of synaptic activity. This suppression of synaptic activity decreases ADAR2 levels by enhancing their proteasomal degradation, which selectively reduces the numbers of GluK2 subunits that are edited. This loss of editing results in increased KAR oligomerisation and ER exit to increase the surface expression of GluK2-containing KARs. Furthermore, I show that partial ADAR2 knockdown phenocopies and occludes TTX-induced scaling of KARs. These data indicate that activity-dependent regulation of ADAR2 levels and GluK2 Q/R editing provides a mechanism for KAR homeostatic plasticity.

Resumo: A presente dissertação avalia a influência da Língua Kaingang de falantes nativos do Kaingang no RS, em sua escrita em Português. Tomando como base as ideias de Maher e de outros estudiosos acerca do Bilinguismo, que afirmam ser o sujeito bilíngue "real", aquele que transita de uma língua para outra, podendo apresentar interferência entre elas, é que assumo a ideia de que a escrita em Português desses falantes deve ser entendida fruto de uma competência bilíngue. Analisando os estudos de D'Angelis sobre a inexistência de concordância na língua Kaingang e sua vasta bibliografia sobre a sintaxe dessa língua, foi possível começar a verificar a escrita em Português de professores indígenas Kaingang. Logo no início dessa análise, já foi constatado que essa escrita apresenta, também, ausência de concordância verbal e nominal. Finalmente, ao analisar um corpus de textos produzidos em Português por professores e alunos nativos do Kaingang no RS, notou-se uma comum ausência de concordância, semelhante à sua escrita na língua materna, ou seja, em Kaingang. A partir da análise desses dados e de sua comparação com a língua Kaingang, foi possível sugerir que essa escrita é, realmente, fruto de uma competência bilíngue e que pode ser denominada como Português Indígena Kaingang
Abstract: The present dissertation evaluates the influence of the Kaingang language in the Portuguese writing by native Kaingang speakers in RS. Based upon Maher ideas and others researchers on the ideal bilingual subject, it originates the idea that the Portuguese writing may derive from a bilingual competence by the Kaingang speakers. Considering D'Angelis studies about lack of agreement in the Kaingang language and the vast bibliography on the syntax of the language, it was possible to verify the Portuguese writing of the Kaingang indigenous teachers. At the very begining of this analysis it was found that this writing presents lack of nominal and verbal agreement. When analysing a corpus of texts written in Portuguese by native Kaingang teachers and students, the results demonstrated a lack of agreement committed in both languages, Portuguese and Kaingang. The analysis of these data and their comparison with the Kaingang language made it possible to suggest that the Kaingang writing is the result of a bilingual competence and can be termed as Indigenous Kaingang Portuguese

Abstract:
Kainic acid has been used for nearly 50 years as a tool in neuroscience due to its pronounced neuroexcitatory properties. However, the significant price increase of kainic acid resulting from the disruption in the supply from its natural source, the alga Digenea Simplex, as well as inefficient synthesis of kainic acid, call for the exploration of functional mimics of kainic acid that can be synthesized in a simpler way. Aza kainoids analog could be one of them. The unsubstituted aza analog of kainoids has demonstrates its ability as an ionotropic glutamate receptor agonist and showed affinity in the chloride dependent glutamate (GluCl) binding site. This opened a question of the importance of the presence of one nitrogen or both nitrogens in the aza kainoid analogs for binding to glutamate receptors. Therefore, two different pyrrolidine analogs of kainic acid, trans-4-(carboxymethyl)pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid and trans-2-carboxy-3-pyrrolidineacetic acid, were synthesized through multi-step sequences. The lack of the affinity of both pyrrolidine analogs in GluCl binding site indicated that both nitrogens in aza kainoid analogs are involved in hydrogen bonding with receptors, significantly enhancing their affinity in GluCl binding site. Another potential functional mimic of kainic acid is isoxazolidine analogs of kainoids whose skeleton can be constituted directly via a 1, 3 dipolar cycloaddition as the key step. The difficulty in synthesizing N-unsubstituted isoxazolidines when applying such common protecting groups as alkyl, phenyl and benzyl groups, and the requirement of a desired enantioselectivity due to the three chiral ceneters in kainic acid, pose great challenges. Hence, several different protected nitrones were studied to establish that diphenylmethine nitrone may be a good candidate as the dipole in that the generated isoxazolidines can be deprotected in mild conditions with high yields. Our investigations also indicated that the exo/endo selectivity of the 1, 3 dipolar cycloaddition can be controlled by Lewis acids, and that the application of a directing group in dipolarophiles can accomplish a satisfied enantioselectivity. Those results demonstrated the synthesis of isoxazoldines analogs of kainic acid is very promising.

Abstract:
Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää saavutettavuudeltaan paras sijainti keskuspysäkille yhdessätoista kainuulaisessa taajamassa. Kussakin taajamassa keskuspysäkin optimaalinen sijainti määritettiin paikkatietoperusteisella saavutettavuusanalyysillä. Saavutettavuusanalyysin tuloksia verrattiin keskuspysäkkien nykyisiin sijainteihin. Näin muodostettiin näkemys saavutettavuuden kannalta parhaasta sijainnista. Lisäksi Sotkamon taajaman kohdalla tutkittiin mahdollisuutta muodostaa usean keskuspysäkin malli ja suoritettiin optimointi koko taajama-alueen pysäkkiverkolle. Tutkimuksessa saavutettavuutta tarkasteltiin taajamassa ja sen lähellä asuvien ihmisten näkökulmasta. Liikkumismuotoina saavutettavuusanalyyseissä olivat kävely ja pyöräily. Saavutettavuusanalyyseissä aineistona käytettiin kansallista Digiroad-tietojärjestelmää (tieverkko ja pysäkit), YKR-ruutuaineistoa 250 m x 250 m ruutukoossa (väestö) sekä YKR-taajamarajausaineistoa. Tutkimuksen saavutettavuusanalyysit suoritettiin ArcMap-ohjelmiston Network Analyst -lisäosaan sisältyvällä Location-Allocation-työkalulla. Lisäksi saavutettavuuden tarkastelussa hyödynnettiin saman lisäosan Service Area -työkalua. Location-Allocation-työkalua käytettiin valitsemaan optimaalinen keskuspysäkin sijainti annetuista ehdokaspisteistä. Pääsääntöisesti ehdokaspisteinä toimivat taajamien nykyiset linja-autopysäkit. Pysäkkien puutteen takia Suomussalmen kirkonkylässä ehdokaspisteet luotiin keinotekoisesti. Analyysissä parhaaksi sijainniksi valikoitui ehdokaspisteistä se, joka oli tieverkkoa pitkin parhaiten saavutettavissa väestöpisteistä. Optimointi suoritettiin kaksi kertaa, tarkastellen ensin saavutettavuutta kävellen ja sitten polkupyörällä. Sotkamon taajamassa tutkittiin useamman keskuspysäkin mallia valitsemalla ehdokaspisteistä ensin kaksi ja sitten kolme keskuspysäkkiä. Lisäksi optimoitiin Sotkamon taajaman koko pysäkkiverkko valitsemalla nykyisistä pysäkeistä ja keinotekoisesti luoduista ehdokaspisteistä parhaan kattavuuden tarjoava yhdistelmä. Suuressa osassa taajamista nykyisen keskuspysäkin todettiin olevan varsin hyvin sijoittunut. Myös optimointivaraa kuitenkin löydettiin. Keskuspysäkin sijainnilla havaittiin olevan suurempi merkitys kävelyn kuin pyöräilyn näkökulmasta. Sotkamon taajamassa päädyttiin suosittelemaan kahden keskuspysäkin mallia. Sotkamon taajaman koko pysäkkiverkkoa tarkasteltaessa huomattiin, ettei pysäkkien sijaintien optimoinnilla päästäisi juurikaan nykyistä parempaan pysäkkiverkon kattavuuteen. Toisaalta, mikäli pysäkit sijoitettaisiin optimaalisesti, nykyisen kaltainen kattavuus voitaisiin taata myös pienemmällä määrällä pysäkkejä.

Abstract:
Kainate receptor knockout mice have unique differences within their immune system. They exhibit an attenuated TH2 branch, while maintaining a robust TH1 response. Specifically, blocking the formation of functional kainate receptors affects mast cells and their related pathologies. While they seem to develop and activate normally in vivo and in vitro, KAR KO mast cells release more inflammatory mediators upon degranulation. These mice experience severe anaphylactic shock due to two compounding abnormalities. First, KAR KO mast cells release significantly more histamine in vivo upon IgE-mediated activation. Second, the animals over-respond to exogenous histamine with drastic temperature drops compared to WT. This report shows that the kainate receptor plays an important role in mast cell-mediated immune responses.

Posteriormente a esta descrição, será abordada a formação da literatura kaidan e suas características gerais. Para melhor compreender o conteúdo das narrativas pertencentes a este gênero, serão utilizados os textos da obra Kwaidan, de Lafcadio Hearn. Desta forma, far-se-á necessária a apresentação de um breve histórico do referido autor, sua produção literária e sua relação com a cultura japonesa. Por fim, realizaremos uma análise das narrativas do Kwaidan, no intento de desvendar a forma como os seres sobrenaturais atuam alegoricamente no imaginário japonês. Além disso, este estudo analítico também nos permitirá elucidar os diversos mecanismos das estruturas textuais que conferem a algumas das narrativas o aspecto fantástico e assustador.
This paper presents the perspective of the supernatural, represented in Japanese narratives that discuss what is strange things and mysterious, which belong to the kaidan literary genre. In this context, this paper will describe the Japanese popular imagination and certain types of supernatural beings, in order to better understand the relation between the Japanese people and this theme. Following this description, it will be discussed the formation of kaidan literature and its general characteristics. To better understand the content of the narratives that belong to this genre, texts of the work Kwaidan, of Lafcadio Hearn, will be used. Thus, it is necessary to present a brief history of that author, his literary production and its relation to Japanese culture. Finally, we will conduct an analysis of the narratives of Kwaidan, in an attempt to unravel how the supernatural beings act allegorically in the Japanese imagination. Additionally, this analytical study will also allow us to elucidate the various mechanisms of the textual structures used in the narratives which give them the fantastic and frightful imprint.

The most important goal of the physical exercise is to influence the strength and endurance of nerves and muscles, also to improve the potential of cardiovascular system. It is proved, that the strength and endurance exercises are essential components of the fitness training program, because they complement each other. Also, very important issue is that there are a great number of scientific and methodological literature that concern sport and physical training, but there are lack of practical recommendations and research data about the influence of body arrangement for women’s physical development changes.

Abstract:
Kainate receptors are members of the ionotropic glutamate receptor family and are widely expressed throughout the mammalian central nervous system where they act as regulators of network activity. Given this, there is considerable interest in KAR gating, both to improve our understanding but also to aid in drug design. And the most striking and unique aspect of KAR gating is their strong sensitivity to and absolute requirement for external ions.Altering either the species or concentration of external cations such as Na+ or external anions such as Cl- can dramatically affect the extent and duration of KAR activation. These parallel effects are not seen with closely related AMPA receptors. But how can ions of opposite charge exert the same effect on KARs? Using rapid agonist application techniques in conjunction with point mutations and existing crystal structures, we found that anions and cations regulate KARs through a dipole mechanism. Specifically, both anions and cations bind adjacent to one another at the crucial interface between KAR ligand binding domains (LBDs). This important position, called the dimer interface, and close apposition accounts for their common effects. Given the role of this dimer interface in KAR agonist efficacy, and that external ions bind to this interface, we examined whether anions and cations regulate the relative efficacy of KAR agonists. We found that cations, but surprisingly not anions, control the relative strength of KAR agonists through this dimer interface site. We also observed a general inverse relationship between peak and equilibrium activation across all agonists and ionic conditions. Full agonists produce large peak responses with relatively small equilibrium activation but as agonist efficacy decreases the relative size of the equilibrium response increases. This ubiquitous behaviour, found in both AMPAR and KARs, is best reproduced by simulations which explicitly model conformational changes occurring after agonist binding but before channel opening. More generally, such pre-gating transitions may be a crucial determinant of agonist efficacy at KARs, and perhaps all other ligand-gated ion channels. In the course of these experiments, we uncovered an unexpected ability of the smallest cation, Li+, to potentiate KAR peak and equilibrium activation as well as to slow decay kinetics. Surprisingly, this effect was only seen with agonists containing a pyrrolidine ring structure, KA and Dom, demonstrating agonist-dependent conformations of the intact receptor. Moreover, Li+ potentiation of these agonists occurs from a novel binding site distinct from the known cation binding site. My results lead to four general conclusions. First, cations and anions regulate KAR through a dipole mechanism. Second, despite their dipole arrangement, cations but not anions govern KAR relative agonist efficacy. Third, agonist efficacy at KARs maybe determined by pre-gating transitions. And finally, KARs posses a Li+-selective allosteric site which potentiates activation in an agonist-dependent manner. These conclusions advance our understanding of KAR gating but also suggest some new ideas about partial agonism which may apply to other ligand-gated ion channels.
Les récepteurs kaïnate (KARs) sont des récepteurs ionotropes glutamatergiques qui sont exprimés à travers le système nerveux central, où ils agissent en tant que régulateurs de réseaux neuronaux. Par conséquent, il est considérablement pertinent d'étudier leur fonctionnement afin d'approfondir nos connaissances ainsi que pour aider à la conception de médicaments. Les aspects les plus frappants et particuliers de ces récepteurs sont leur forte sensibilité ainsi que leur dépendance inconditionnelle à la présence d'ions externes.Changer l'identité ou la concentration des cations externes, tel le Na+, ou des anions externes, tel le Cl-, peut avoir un effet important sur l'ampleur et la durée de l'activation des KARs. Ces effets interdépendants ne sont pas observés chez les récepteurs AMPA (AMPARs). Comment des ions de charge opposée peuvent-ils avoir le même effet sur les KARs? À l'aide d'applications ultra-rapides d'agonistes sur des KARs recombinants, de mutagénèse et des structures cristallines existantes, nous avons trouvé que les anions et les cations régulent les KARs par un méchanisme de dipôle. Spécifiquement, les anions et les cations se lient de façon adjacente à l'interface entre les domaines d'interaction du ligand des KARs. Cette importante région, nommée interface des dimères, ainsi que l'apposition étroite des ions, expliquent leurs effets communs.Étant donné le rôle de cette interface dans l'efficacité des KARs, et que les ions externes se lient à cette interface, nous avons décidé d'examiner si les anions et les cations régulent le potentiel relatif des agonistes des KARs. Nous avons découvert que les cations, mais étonnamment pas les anions, pouvaient contrôler ce potentiel à travers l'interface des dimères. Nous avons également observé une relation inverse entre l'activation maximale et à l'équilibre pour tous les agonistes et conditions ioniques. Les agonistes complets produisent une activation maximale considérable et une activation à l'équilibre relativement petite, mais lorsque l'efficacité de l'agoniste diminue, l'activation à l'équilibre devient relativement plus grande. Ce comportement omniprésent, observé chez les AMPARs et les KARs, peut être reproduit de façon optimale par des simulations modelant des changements de conformation qui se produisent après la liaison d'un agoniste mais avant l'ouverture du canal ionique. En général, de telles étapes transitoires pourraient être cruciales pour l'efficacité d'un agoniste agissant sur les KARs et peut-être même sur d'autres canaux ioniques ligand-dépendants.À travers ces expériences, nous avons découvert la capacité inattendue du plus petit cation, le Li+, de potentialiser l'activation maximale et à l'équilibre des KARs, ainsi que de ralentir leur désensibilisation. Étonnamment, cet effet fut seulement observé avec les agonistes contenant un anneau pyrrolidine, c'est-à-dire le kaïnate et le domoate, démontrant ainsi des conformations agoniste-dépendantes du récepteur intact. De plus, l'effet potentiateur du Li+ pour ces agonistes se produirait à travers un nouveau site de liaison non-identifié qui serait distinct du site de liaison des cations déjà connu.Mes résultats nous mènent vers quatre conclusions. Premièrement, les cations et les anions régulent les KARs à travers un méchanisme de liaison en dipôle. Deuxièmement, malgré leur disposition en dipôle, seuls les cations gouvernent l'efficacité relative des agonistes des KARs. Troisièmement, l'efficacité de ces agonistes pourrait être déterminée par une étape transitoire de pré-activation. Enfin, les KARs possèdent un site de liaison sélectif au Li+ qui potentialise leur activation de façon allostérique et agoniste-dépendante. Ces conclusions approfondissent notre compréhension de la régulation des KARs par les ions externes, et proposent aussi de nouvelles idées concernant l'agonisme partiel qui pourraient s'appliquer à d'autres canaux ioniques ligand-dépendants.

Abstract:
Glutamate is found throughout the central nervous system and has been shown to be an important excitatory neurotransmitter in the visual system. There are two subdivisions of receptor on which this ubiquitous neurotransmitter acts, metabotropic (mGluR) and ionotropic (GluR) glutamate receptors. There are eight sub types of mGluR falling into three groups, and fifteen GluR subunits also divided into three groups. Kainate receptors (KARs) comprise one group of the ionotropic glutamate receptor subdivision. Relay cells of the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) are driven and modulated by a variety of NMDA, AMPA and metabotropic receptors. In addition, investigation into the involvement of mGluR, AMPA and NMDA receptor function in the synaptic processing of the superior colliculus (SC) has been well documented. It has been difficult, however, to establish specific KAR function in these brain structures due to lack of pharmacological agents acting solely at kainate receptors. In recent years such agents have become available, thus enabling the present study of GluR5 involvement in visual processing within the SC and LGN. The purpose of this body of work has been to assess the involvement of GluR5-containing Kainate receptors (KARs) in synaptic transmission between retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and subcortical brain structures involved in the processing of visual information namely the superficial superior colliculus (SSC) and the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). The majority of the work focused on the function of KARs in the SSC. To elucidate the involvement of KARs in visual processing, both in vivo and in vitro methods were utilised. In vivo electrophysiology was used for extracellular recording of evoked activity of both SSC and LGN neurons in response to visual stimuli. This was carried out during intravenous injection of GluR5 antagonist. In vivo recording twinned with iontophoretic administration of GluR5-specific pharmacological compounds was also employed to investigate KAR participation in direct synaptic transmission between RGCs and the SSC neurons. The same technique was used to study KAR involvement in the phenomenon of response habituation exhibited by these neurons. To parallel in vivo protocols, in vitro SSC slice experiments were performed to study the effect of GluR5 agonists and antagonists on evoked postsynaptic currents. This enabled the administration of drugs at concentrations specific for GluR5 subunits whilst investigating GluR5 involvement in direct synaptic transmission between RGC input and SSC neurons. In addition, a paired pulse protocol was employed to propose a presynaptic location of GluR5-containing KARs at retinal input into the SSC. Furthermore, the use of GluR5- specific and GABAR-specific compounds during evoked current recording indicated the involvement of GluR5-containing receptors in the direct modulation of excitatory but not inhibitory input into the SSC. In summary, therefore, both in vivo and in vitro electrophysiology techniques were used to indicate a location and function for GluR5 KARs in the subcortical visual system of the rat. GluR5-containing receptors were found to modulate visual processing of both the LGN and SSC. It was unclear whether these receptors were located in the LGN itself due to the use of systemic injection protocols, however, iontophoresis of GluR5-selective drugs demonstrated a role in modulating visual responses within the SSC. The mechanism by which GluR5 receptors modulated responses in the SSC was further elucidated by a series of whole cell patch-clamp experiments which revealed that GluR5-containing receptors reduced synaptic transmission at excitatory inputs directly onto recorded cells and those connections with the intrinsic inhibitory circuitry of the SSC. In addition a paired-pulse protocol was used to determine that the decrease in excitatory transmission was caused by the presynaptic reduction of glutamatergic transmission.
