In der vorliegenden Arbeit untersuche ich verschiedene Funktionen, die das Wort 'Ich' in unserer Sprache einnehmen. In der Alltagssprache sprechen wir in vielen verschiedenen Weisen und Situationen über uns selbst. Dies ist verbunden mit verschiedenen Verwendungsweisen des Pronomens der ersten Person, das verschiedene Rollen in unserer Sprache haben kann. Wittgensteins Spätphilosophie ist bestrebt diese Rollen zu beschreiben. Dazu beobachtet Wittgenstein den Gebrauch der Alltagssprache.

Full textAbstract:
Die vorliegende Arbeit ist im Rahmen eines Projektes zur Untersuchung der Genexpression bei Tiermodellen neurologischer Erkrankungen entstanden. Mit herkömmlichen Kandidatenansätzen ist eine Genexpressionsanalyse nur in beschränktem Umfang zu realisieren. Ziel war daher die Etablierung eines Verfahrens wie SAGE (serielle Analyse der Genexpression), das die Analyse des gesamten Transkriptoms zuläßt. Wie die Arbeit zeigt, ist SAGE in einem Standardlabor durchführbar. Es wurden geringfügige Abwandlungen der Orginalmethode eingeführt. Zur Sequenzfehlerkorrektur wurde ein spezielles Computerprogramm entwickelt und evaluiert. Zur Evaluierung der statistischen Auswertung von SAGE wurde zusätzlich zu einer Darstellung des gesamten statistischen Entscheidungsprozesses explorativ die Situation statistischer Entscheidungen wie sie im Rahmen üblicher SAGE Experimente auftreten mit vier Tests nachgeahmt. Es wurde eine Testvariante (modifizierter Z-Test) angewandt und evaluiert, die bis dato noch nicht zur Auswertung von SAGE benutzt worden war. Um die Reliabilität von SAGE abschätzen zu können, wurde von vier Mäusegroßhirnen die Gesamt-RNS vereinigt. Diese Transkriptgrundpopulation wurde zweigeteilt und parallel untersucht. Die beiden Gruppen wurden anhand eines statistischen Tests, der die gesamte Verteilungen der beiden Profile prüft, auf Homogenität untersucht. Zusätzlich wurde das Zusammenhangsmaß ermittelt. Dies ergab, daß die Reliabilität von SAGE im vorliegenden Kontext (relativ geringe Stichprobe und ein komplexes Gewebe) nicht optimal ist. Es kann jedoch keine Aussage dazu gemacht werden, ob dies der Methode selbst, das heißt ihrer molekularbiologischen Praxis und der Datenaufbereitung, anzulasten ist oder einer großen Stichprobenvariabilität. Dies bedeutet, daß in der vorliegenden Arbeit keine endgültige Aussage zur Reliabilität von SAGE möglich ist. Es werden Möglichkeiten dargestellt mit einer suboptimale Reliabilität im Rahmen von zukünftigen Projekten umzugehen.<br>The work presented here evolved within the framework of a project that examines gene expression of neurological conditions in animal models. Using conventional methods (candidate genes study) gene expression analysis is limited. Hence, the aim was to establish a procedure like SAGE (serial analysis of gene expression) that allows for analysis of the entire transcriptome. As shown it is possible to perform SAGE in a standard laboratory. Minor changes to the original version were made. A special computer program was developed and evaluated to reduce sequencing errors. In addition to a description of the entire statistical process, the statistics of SAGE were explored by simulating normal SAGE experiments, using 4 statistical tests. One test version (modified Z-test) that has not been used for statistical analysis of SAGE yet was applied and reviewed. To assess the reliability of SAGE the total-RNA of 4 corteces of mice was extracted and combined. This basic transcript population was divided in two and the parts examined in parallel. Both groups were analysed using a statistical test that tests the entire distribution of both profiles for homogeneity. Additionally the correlation (and its degree) of the profiles was calculated. The result was that the reliability of SAGE is not optimal in the context of this work (relatively small sample and complex tissue). However, no conclusion can be drawn as to whether the method itself (biomolecular practice and data analysis) is responsible for this, or whether it is due to sample variability. This means that in the work presented here no final statement concerning the reliability of SAGE is possible. Possibilities are described to deal with the issue of suboptimal reliability within the framework of future projects.

Full textAbstract:
The traditional image of the stoic sage, retired and solitary, indifferent to all that does not rely on him, and thus to the most part of events that mark the course of the world and of human lives, is a simplistic view that ought to be reconsidered. To do so, we try to show that the virtue borrowed from the sophos by the texts of ancient stoicism has indeed the traits of the Aristotelian phronesis, political excellence and thus virtue of human relations. The A. conducts this approach by examining the sources that render stoic phronesis as one of the tirst virtues, then as the tirst of the tirst virtues, and then through virtue's relationships in its unity with a variety of virtues.<br>La imagen que se tiene tradicionalmente del sabio estoico, retirado y solitario, indiferente a todo lo queno depende de él, y por ende a la mayor parte de los acontecimientos que marcan el curso del mundo y de la vida de los hombres es una imagen simplista que merece ser reconsiderada. Para hacerlo, nos esforzamos en señalar que la virtud (areté) prestada del sophós por los textos del estoicismo antiguo tiene efectivamente los rasgos de la phrónesis aristotélica, excelencia política y por eso mismo virtud de las relaciones humanas. Esta aproximación se lleva a cabo a través del examen de las fuentes que hacen aparecer la phrónesis estoica como una de las primeras virtudes, luego como la primera de las virtudes primeras, enseguida através de las relaciones de la virtud en su unidad con la distinción de una multiplicidad de virtudes.

Bender, Lucas Rambo. "Du Fu: Poet Historian, Poet Sage." Thesis, Harvard University, 2016. http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:33493294.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation argues that Du Fu’s (712-770) ascent to the pinnacle of the Chinese literary pantheon was bound up with a revolution in the ways poetry was understood to be a serious endeavor. In Du Fu’s time, poetry had been valued for sustaining a time-transcending ritual institution descended from the ancient sages. Those later critics who placed Du Fu at the center of the poetic canon, by contrast, have generally located the his verse’s “serious” value in its embodiment of admirably accurate and appropriately felt perceptions of the precise historical circumstances that occasioned its composition. Although these latter critics have often claimed great antiquity for this latter vision of poetry’s moral significance, I argue that it was not an intellectual possibility in the Tang, and that it only came to be broadly persuasive when Du Fu’s collection was extensively remade through the addition of commentarial and contextualizing paratexts that were previously unprecedented within the Chinese critical tradition. Placed back into its original intellectual and material context, then, Du Fu’s poetry reads very differently than it has to post-medieval critics.
It was, however, no coincidence that Du Fu was chosen as the center of this radical reinvention of the Chinese poetic tradition. It is possible to trace in the poet’s early collection a process of divergence from the norms of his time, leading ultimately to the creation of a new poetic language that does in fact raise many of the questions that Du Fu’s most influential critics have sought to answer. Yet this new poetic language never fully delivers the reassuring claim that these later critics have seen in his collection: that the good man will always be able to understand and movingly convey the moral truth of his experience. Instead of demonstrating the poet’s apprehension of such natural and given truth, Du Fu’s mature verse dramatizes itself as within the process of seeking for sense, a process that it leaves always open and unfinished.<br>East Asian Languages and Civilizations

Full textAbstract:
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) are sagebrush obligates and are therefore considered to be key indicators of sagebrush ecosystem health. Sage-grouse populations have declined range-wide over the last century due to loss and fragmentation of sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) habitats. Sage-grouse populations found in large intact sagebrush landscapes are considered to be more resilient, however, some small isolated populations persist and thrive in fragmented landscapes. Because of Utah’s unique topography and geography, sage-grouse habitat is discontinuous and populations are naturally dispersed throughout the state in suitable intact blocks or in disconnected islands of sagebrush habitat. Thus, Utah populations provide the ideal place to understand how landscape attributes may influence at risk populations. Of these, the Morgan-Summit population is important because very little was known about the general ecology of this population and it experiences a high level of anthropogenic disturbances.
I examined seasonal movement patterns, habitat selection, vital rates (nest initiation rates, nest success, clutch size, breeding success, brood success, and survival probability of breeding age birds) and the influence of vegetation components on vital rates of a small geographically isolated sage-grouse population in Morgan and Summit Counties in northern Utah from 2015–2016. To collect the data, I deployed 25 very-high frequency radio collars and 10 platform terminal transmitters and completed micro-site vegetation surveys at nest, brood, and paired random sites and then made comparisons. Nest sites exhibited variation in vegetation structure that influenced nest success, while brood sites did not.
This population is one of the most productive in Utah exhibiting high nest initiation rates, hatching rates, and brood success rates despite limited habitat space and small seasonal movements. Transmitter type had no influence on vital rates, which is contrary to other studies, and limited influence on habitat selection. Sage-grouse avoided trees and developed areas, especially during the breeding season. Selection of other landscape variables was season-dependent. This information suggests that a sage-grouse population can occupy areas of limited habitat on an annual basis if seasonal habitat requirements are met. This study provides information that stake holders can utilize to conserve critical seasonal habitats within this study area where the population could be negatively affected by anthropogenic development pressure.

Buksh, Bala. "Services for activities in group editing 'sage'." Thesis, Aston University, 1993. http://publications.aston.ac.uk/10679/.
Full textAbstract:
The project described in this thesis investigates the needs of a group of people working cooperatively in an OSI environment, and recommends tools and services to meet these needs. The project looks specifically at Services for Activities in Group Editing, and is identified as the `SAGE' project. The project uses case studies to identify user requirements and to determine common functionalities for a variety of group editing activities. A prototype is implemented in an X.400 environment to help refine user requirements, as a source of new ideas and to test the proposed functionalities. The conceptual modelling follows current CCITT proposals, but a new classification of group activities is proposed: Informative, Objective and Supportive application groups. It is proposed that each of these application groups have their own Service Agent. Use of this classification allows the possibility of developing three sets of tools which will cover a wide range of group activities, rather than developing tools for individual activities. Group editing is considered to be in the Supportive application group. A set of additional services and tools to support group editing are proposed in the context of the CCITT draft on group communication, X.gc. The proposed services and tools are mapped onto the X.400 series of recommendations, with the Abstract Service Definition of the operational objects defined, along with their associated component files, by extending the X.420 protocol functionality. It is proposed that each of the Informative, Objective and Supportive application groups should be implemented as a modified X.420 inter-personal messaging system.

Le sclaréol est un diterpène produit par les organes floraux de la sauge sclarée (Salvia sclarea, Lamiaceae). Il est utilisé en parfumerie pour l’hémisynthèse de l’ambroxide, une substance caractérisée par une odeur ambrée et une grande capacité de fixation des parfums. L’augmentation de la demande mondiale en sclaréol stimule actuellement les tentatives d’accroître le rendement de la production de sclaréol à partir de la sauge sclarée. L’objectif du travail présenté dans ce manuscrit était d’améliorer notre compréhension de la biosynthèse du sclaréol et de sa régulation chez la sauge sclarée, afin de mettre en évidence des stratégies d’augmentation du contenu en sclaréol de la sauge sclarée. L'analyse de la surface des calices de sauge sclarée par imagerie par spectrométrie de masse suggère que le sclaréol est principalement sécrété par des structures épidermiques spécialisées appelées trichomes glandulaires. De plus, nous avons mis en évidence les contributions respectives des deux voies de biosynthèse des terpènes présentes chez les plantes, les voies MVA et MEP, à la biosynthèse de trois terpènes de la sauge sclarée. Des expériences de marquage au ¹³C indiquent que le sclaréol et l’acétate de linalyle sont tous deux issus de la voie MEP, alors que le β-caryophyllène semble être d’origine mixte. Nous avons également étudié le rôle potentiel d’une phytohormone, le méthyljasmonate, dans la régulation de la production de sclaréol chez la sauge sclarée. Enfin, nous avons exploré la diversité génétique et phénotypique de populations croates de sauge sclarée sauvage, et montrons que ces populations représentent une ressource génétique distincte par rapport aux populations de référence. L’ensemble de ces résultats met en évidence des pistes prometteuses pour l'amélioration génétique ciblée des performances de la sauge sclarée<br>Sclareol is a diterpene produced by floral organs of clary sage (Salvia sclarea, Lamiaceae). It is used in perfume industry for the hemisynthesis of ambroxide, a high-valued perfume component characterized by an amber scent and a high perfume fixation capacity. The global demand for sclareol currently rises, prompting attempts at increasing the yield of sclareol production from clary sage. The purpose of the work presented in this manuscript was to improve knowledge on sclareol biosynthesis and its regulation in clary sage, in order to highlight strategies aiming at enhancing clary sage sclareol content. The analysis of the surface of clary sage calyces by mass spectrometry imaging suggests that sclareol is mainly secreted by specialized epidermal structures called glandular trichomes. Moreover, we have highlighted the respective contributions of the two terpenoid biosynthesis pathways present in plants, MVA and MEP pathways, to the biosynthesis of three terpenoids of clary sage. ¹³C-labeling experiments indicate that sclareol and linalyl acetate both originate from the MEP pathway, whereas β-caryophyllene seems to be of mixed origin. We have also investigated the potential role of a phytohormone, methyljasmonate, in the regulation of sclareol production in clary sage. Finally, we have explored the genetic and phenotypic diversity of Croatian wild clary sage populations and show that these populations represent a distinct genetic resource compared to reference populations. Taken together, these results highlight promising avenues for targeted genetic enhancement of clary sage performances

Full textAbstract:
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) habitat was studied in central Montana primarily on Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata wyomingensis) dominated rangeland. The primary objective was to compare shrub and herbaceous parameters within (use, random or non-use) and between seasonal habitats (nest, brood, winter). Nesting occurred in areas with greater total shrub cover (15v13%) and height (28v26 cm), and taller live (12v11 cm) and residual grass (9v8 cm) than randomly available. The shrubs under which hens nested were taller (50v44 cm) and more productive (61v51 g) than random shrubs. Due to increased precipitation in 2005, total herbaceous (18v13%), grass (15v12%), and forb cover (7v3%), and live grass height (13v10 cm) were greater in 2005 than 2004. Brood and paired random sites were similar for all parameters. There was greater shrub height (29v25 cm), total herbaceous cover (19v16%), forb cover (15v13%), and live grass height (17v11 cm) in 2005 than 2004. Shrub density (1.5v1.1/m²) and residual grass height (9v5 cm) were greater in 2004. Both winters were mild as no month had > 20 cm total snowfall. Shrub height was greater at winter non-use sites than use sites in 2005 (36v32 cm), but similar in 2004 (27v27 cm). Shrub height was different between years. Despite mild winters, shrub cover (12v10%) and density (1.2v0.8/m²) were greater at winter use sites than non-use sites although residual grass height (19v18 cm) and cover (13v14%) were similar. Winter use sites had less shrub cover than nest sites (12v15%). The nest and brood habitat and winter and brood habitat had similar shrub cover, density, and height. Herbaceous vegetation was more important during nesting and brood rearing than in winter. Some portions of grouse habitat may benefit from management for greater herbaceous cover, but never at the sake of less sagebrush. Sagebrush cover from 5 to 36% was the most consistent component of sage-grouse habitat. The differences between cover for nesting (15%), brood (14%), and winter (12%) were small. Therefore, any manipulation attempting to improve one seasonal habitat would impact the others.

This dissertation examines the operation of neoliberal environmentality through the
instrumentalization of the Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in Wyoming. It treats
technological interventions within environmental construction as generating biotic-machinic
entanglements termed technonature. I present the formation and operation of the Wyoming
Conservation Exchange as a case study of technonatural territorialization connected to global trona and hydrocarbon commodity flows. The theoretical framework elaborates how "the environment" is constructed and governed through tactical instrumental deployments connected to technocratic management allowing economically powerful actors to inscribe their desires within Wyoming's landscape, politics and biota as a function of environmental security related to commodity development. The question motivating this work is "Whose environment is the Environmental Defense Fund defending?"
The Greater Sage-grouse has become an object of U.S. Federal environmental governance since
the late 1990's. It has experienced significant population declines due to anthropogenic disturbance and habitat loss through industrial action across its range. Wyoming's Sagebrush Steppe contains 37.5% of the remaining range wide population. The grouse was listed as a candidate species under the 1973 U.S. Endangered Species Act triggering responses from Federal, State, and international wildlife management agencies, as well as environmental non-governmental organizations. Wyoming could lose nearly a quarter of its surface should Federal regulations require the designation of critical sage-grouse habitat. Governor Dave Freudenthal signed Executive Order 2008-2 into law in response to the regulatory threat to Wyoming's hydrocarbon and mineral based economy. The grouse, in response was de-listed as a candidate species in 2015 by the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service.
EO 2008-2 established the Wyoming Core Area Strategy as a statewide conservation umbrella and laid the framework for a habitat mitigation economy allowing industrial activity to continue within sage-grouse habitat. This incentivized the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) to test a market-based instrument – a habitat exchange – within Wyoming. The Greater Sage-grouse is a test species as it is highly sensitive to changes in its environment and this dissertation examines how the habitat mitigation economy advanced by EDF is drawing the grouse into global commodity networks as a territorialization process for global flows of hydrocarbons and minerals. At stake is the ability to write the history of the species, land, and the global environment as EDF develops conservation technologies prioritizing flows critical to the hydrocarbon environment through the technology of the Wyoming Conservation Exchange.<br>Doctor of Philosophy<br>The Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) entered Euro-American scientific study as early as the Lewis and Clark expedition as they explored the Intermountain region of Western
North America. The first thorough scientific study of the sage-grouse in the 20th Century, The Sage Grouse in Wyoming, by Dr. Robert Lansing Patterson included the effects of anthropogenic
disturbance on grouse populations. Since the 1952 publication of Patterson's study, Greater Sage-grouse numbers have been declining as the bird loses its home to encroachments such as
urbanization, agriculture, grazing, mining, and fossil fuel extraction. The last stronghold of the
grouse is the Sagebrush Steppe within Wyoming containing nearly 40% of the remaining
population. Known for its flamboyant mating displays, the ground-dwelling avian species has
become a political flashpoint in conservation, land management, and environmental circles as its
numbers declined steadily since the 1990's due to an accelerating energy boom threatening its
habitat.
The bird became a threat to extractive industry in Wyoming at the turn of the Millennium as
environmentally concerned groups petitioned the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (UFWS) to
evaluate its populations under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Nearly a quarter of Wyoming's
surface would be strictly policed as critical habitat were the grouse listed as endangered or
threatened under the ESA. Wyoming and its partners created the Wyoming Core Area Protection
Strategy (CAP) as a wildlife management framework through Executive Order 2008-2. The
Wyoming CAP includes the foundation of a habitat mitigation economy allowing industry to trade
surface disturbances within critical sage-grouse habitat for modified land purportedly to the benefit of the species.
The Nature Conservancy invited the Environmental Defense Fund to form the Wyoming
Conservation Exchange – a market-based conservation instrument tailored to trading in habitat
mitigation credits. This dissertation studies the Wyoming Conservation Exchange as an
instrument connected to larger networks of wildlife management agencies, non-governmental
organizations, and mining and fossil fuel interests. It evaluates the effects of the Wyoming
Conservation Exchange and the economy it seeks to establish as changing how the environment
is managed across the Sagebrush Steppe. Environmental Defense Fund's conservation
instrument is reviewed through the economy created for and through the Greater Sage-grouse as
an object of environmental governance. Habitat offsetting can, has and will change the physical,
and political environment of Wyoming allowing powerful actors to write the rules of how the
environment should be managed. As such, this dissertation questions whose environment the
Environmental Defense Fund is defending as it explores sage-grouse management within the
state.

Full textAbstract:
Declining greater sage-grouse populations (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter sage-grouse) have led to increased concern regarding the long-term stability of the species. Previous research has identified factors contributing to the observed population declines. Habitat degradation and loss have been implicated as major factors in population declines. Although much is known about sage-grouse biology, more information is needed about population responses to specific management actions. This research was conducted to document sage-grouse responses to site-specific management actions. Additionally, I evaluated sage-grouse temporal and seasonal habitat-use and the comparability of techniques used by range and wildlife managers to measure vegetation responses of habitat management. Specifically, I evaluated 1) whether chemical analysis (gas chromatography) of sage-grouse fecal pellets could identify sagebrush species in sage-grouse winter diets, 2) the comparability of the line-point intercept and Daubenmire canopy cover methods for estimating canopy cover, 3) the response of sage-grouse broods to prescribed burns in a high elevation sagebrush community in northeastern Utah, and 4) the vegetation and insect characteristics of sites used by sage-grouse broods during a 24-hour period. I was able to determine wintering sage-grouse diets using gas chromatography by analyzing fecal pellets. This research also confirmed that black sagebrush (Artemisia nova) was an important component of sage-grouse winter diets in western Box Elder County and Parker Mountain populations. The line-point intercept and Daubenmire methods for estimating canopy cover are not comparable. Sage-grouse broods selected small (~ 25 ha) patchy prescribed burns in high elevation mountain big sagebrush (A. tridentata vaseyana) communities in northeastern Utah. Sage-grouse brood-site use in northwestern Utah did not differ during the diurnal hours, but nocturnal roost sites were characterized by shorter statured shrubs and more bare ground when compared to midday sites.

Elle a pour but d'evaluer, entre autres, les coefficients d'extinction des aerosols a huit longueurs d'onde dans le domaine ultra violet-proche infra-rouge, a partir de mesures obtenues par occultation solaire. Ce travail decrit deux methodes d'inversion utilisees pour la determination des caracteristiques des aerosols (densite de surface, densite de volume, rayon effectif et variance effective) qui sont d'un grand interet pour la modelisation du climat et l'etude de la chimie heterogene. La premiere technique consiste en une inversion lineaire contrainte (cli : constrained linear inversion) et la seconde se resume a un ajustement effectue sur les mesures d'extinction (lsfm : least squares fit method). Les deux methodes sont appliquees a des coefficients d'extinction simules aux longueurs d'onde de sage iii en vue d'estimer les caracteristiques des aerosols dans le cas de distributions monomodales ou bimodales. Les performances des deux algorithmes ont ete comparees a celles d'une autre methode developpee par une equipe americaine de l'universite de raleigh : la technique de recherche de minimisation aleatoire (rmst : randomized minimization search technique). Les deux methodes d'inversion sont utilisees pour etablir une climatologie des aerosols a partir des donnees sage ii. Sage ii fournit les coefficients d'extinction des aerosols a un nombre de longueurs d'onde plus faible que sage iii depuis environ quinze ans. La cli et la lsfm sont capables de caracteriser raisonnablement les densites de surface, de volume et le rayon effectif des aerosols dans des conditions tres variees pre et post-volcaniques. Cependant la determination de la variance effective reste difficile.

Aphrahate est l'un des tout premiers ecrivains de la litterature syriaque. Il a vecu en perse dans le dernier tiers du iiie siecle et la premiere moitie du ive siecle ap. J. -c. Son oeuvre compren d 23 demonstrations, redigees en syriaque entre 336 et 345 ap. J. C. Elle se presente a la fois comme une apologie de la foi et de la vie chretiennes et comme une apologetique anti-juive. Elle nous renseigne, de premiere main, sur le statut des juifs et de l'eglise d'aphrahate dans l'empire sassanide et sur le contexte politique de l'epoque. Elle procede, a partir de citations de l'ancien testament, a une deconstruction de l'argument juif anti-chretien puis a une reconstruction de l'argument proprement chretien. Nous nous interessons tout particulierement a la demonstration xvi intitulee : "de ce que les peuples ont remplace le peuple", ou les peuples sont les chretiens venant des nations (du paganisme) et l e peuple designe le peuple juif. Malgre sa proximite de l'apotre paul et la paraphrase qu'il fait de rm. 11, 18-24, aphra hate contredit la prophetie de paul quant au salut de tout israel. Par-dela les divergences entre les 'mondes' respectif s de paul et d'aphrahate, nous discernons le role preponderant du geste de la greffe, au niveau de l'olivier comme "metaphore vive", dans cette divergence. Et nous considerons le jeu de la meme metaphore vive dans le paragraphe 4 de la declaration "nostra aetate" du concile vatican ii<br>Aphrahate is one of the first writers in syriac. He lived in the sassanid persia during the last third of the iiird century and the first half of the ivth. His work contains 23 demonstrations written between 336 and 345 c. E. It stands as a defence of the christian faith and life and as anti-judaic apologetics. It proceeds with old testament quotations and aims at a deconstruction of the anti-christian jewish argument followed by a reconstruction of the very christian one. We are interested especially in the xvith demonstration entitled : "about the fact that the peoples have replaced the people", where the peoples are the christians coming from the nations (from paganism) and the people indicates the jewish people. In spite of his proximity with the apostle paul and the fact he paraphrases romans 11, 18-24, aphrahate contradicts paul's prophecy concerning the salvation of the whole israel. Beyond the divergences existing between the respective 'worlds' of paul an d aphrahate, we discern the preponderant role of the gesture of grafting, in the 'olive-tree' as a 'living metaphor', in this divergence. We consider also the playing of the same metaphor in the 4th section of the declaration 'nostra aetate' of the iind oecumenical council of vatican

Full textAbstract:
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage-grouse) are a species of conservation concern in the rangelands of western North America due to their dramatic decline over the last half century. Effective conservation and management of sensitive species requires an understanding of how species respond to management actions. We examined two aspects of the reproductive phases of sage-grouse: nest predation, and habitat selection by female sage-grouse with chicks. In Chapter 1, we developed resource selection functions to assess the influence of mechanical treatments of mountain big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata vaseyana) on habitat selection by greater sage-grouse with chicks. Post-treatment sage-grouse showed stronger selection for treatments and treatment edges than did pre-treatment sage-grouse. This altered pattern of selection by sage-grouse with broods suggests mechanical treatments may be a suitable way to increase use of mountain big sagebrush during the brooding period. In Chapter 2, we assessed the effect of habitat edges on nest predation of sage-grouse. The "edge effect" hypothesis states that habitat edges are associated with reduced nest success for birds. We tested the edge effect hypothesis using 155 nest locations from 114 sage-grouse. We derived edge metrics for 11 habitat cover types to determine which variables may have affected nest predation. We found support for the edge effect hypothesis in that nest predation increased with increasing edge density of paved roads. We provide evidence that the edge effect hypothesis may apply to greater sage-grouse and their habitats. Based on our results, we recommend minimizing disturbances that fragment critical nesting habitat of greater sage-grouse.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined population genetics of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in Strawberry Valley, Utah located in the north-central part of the state. The Strawberry Valley population of sage-grouse experienced a severe population decline with estimates of abundance in 1998 less than 5% (~150 individuals) of similar estimates from the 1930s (>3,000 individuals). Given the population decline and reduced genetic diversity, recovery team partners translocated sage-grouse from four different populations into Strawberry Valley over 6 years (2003-2008). Translocations have been used as a strategy to increase both population size and genetic diversity in wildlife populations. We assessed whether genetic diversity increased following the translocation of sage-grouse into Strawberry Valley by looking at both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA indices. We observed an overall increase of 16 microsatellite alleles across the 15 loci studied (x̅ =1.04 alleles per locus increase, SE ± 0.25). Haplotype diversity increased from 4 to 5. Levels of genetic diversity increased for both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA (16% and 25% increases for allelic richness and haplotype diversity, respectively). These results show that translocations of greater sage grouse into a wild population can be an effective tool to increase not only population size but also genetic diversity.Second, we studied fitness-related traits and related them to genetic diversity indices in a population of greater sage-grouse in Strawberry Valley, Utah from 2005 to 2013. We captured 93 sage-grouse in Strawberry Valley and fitted them with a radio collar and drew and preserved blood. We monitored sage-grouse weekly, throughout each year. From blood, we extracted and amplified DNA with 15 microsatellite loci. We determined genetic diversity as multilocus heterozygosity and mean d2. To determine if there was a relationship between genetic diversity and survival, we used known-fate models in Program MARK. We also determined if there was a relationship between genetic diversity measures and nest initiation, nest success, clutch size, and number of eggs hatched using generalized linear models where reproductive measures were modeled as a function of genetic diversity. We found no significant relationship between mean d2 and microsatellite heterozygosity with measures of survival or reproductive fitness. Overall, these results suggest that the often-reported strong heterozygosity-fitness correlations detected in small, inbred populations do not reflect a general phenomenon of increasing individual survival and reproductive fitness with increasing heterozygosity.

Full textAbstract:
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations have declined throughout the western United States over the past 3 decades. Habitat loss within the sagebrush steppe ecosystem is a major factor leading to sage-grouse population decline. Hen sage-grouse were captured, marked, and tracked during the summer of 2012 in southwestern and south-central Wyoming. I performed vegetation surveys, and avian point counts were performed at 1 early-season brood location, 1 late-season brood location, and an accompanying random location for each marked hen regardless of reproductive status. Multinomial models were run to determine what habitat variables were most informative in predicting site selection by hen sage-grouse. During early-brood season, hen sage-grouse with chicks selected sites that had high total shrub cover density; these areas also exhibited high densities of American kestrels (Falco sparverius). They did not avoid areas with common ravens (Corvus corax). Hen sage-grouse not accompanied by a brood selected sites with high total shrub cover and low densities of common ravens and American kestrels. During late-brood season, hen sage-grouse that
were accompanied by a brood selected sites with high shrub cover and low densities of small avian predators, such as black-billed magpies (Pica hudsonia) and American kestrels as well as medium-sized predators, such as common ravens, buteo hawks (Buteo spp.), and northern harriers (Circus cyaneus). Hens that were not accompanied by broods were more often found in sites with high total shrub cover and low densities of small avian predators, but selected sites with higher densities of medium-sized predators. Hen sage-grouse select areas with high total shrub cover during early and late-brood season regardless of their reproductive status. By avoiding predators and selecting areas with cover, hens with broods can reduce the risk of their chicks being depredated.

A puberdade é o momento quando um mamífero, macho ou fêmea, se torna capaz de produzir gametas viáveis e exibir comportamento sexual completo. Trata-se do resultado do ajuste gradativo entre o aumento da atividade gonadotrófica e a habilidade das gônadas em assumir simultaneamente a esteroidogênese e a gametogênese. Um dos principais fatores que influenciam o início à puberdade é o genético. A puberdade é uma característica fisiológica originada por muitos fatores (orgânicos e ambientais), que relacionam-se com a expressão de diversos genes, muitos dos quais ainda com funções desconhecidas. Metodologias para a análise da expressão gênica diferencial em tecidos, em particular a Análise Serial de Expressão Gênica (SAGE), incluem ferramentas que permitem a análise global e simultânea de vários transcritos de um determinado tecido, sejam eles conhecidos ou não, fornecendo informações sobre o padrão de expressão gênica de um determinado tipo celular de maneira qualitativa e semi-quantitativa. O objetivo do presente projeto foi analisar, por meio da técnica de SAGE, a expressão gênica diferencial no folículo ovariano de fêmeas bovinas da raça Nelore púberes e pré-púberes, segundo o critério da apresentação ou não de ondas de crescimento folicular que culminavam com a ovulação.. Um total de 14.531 e 14.285 tags tiveram sua seqüência de DNA determinada, revelando a existência de 6.840 e 6.386 genes únicos (biblioteca das novilhas pré-púberes e púberes respectivamente). A comparação entre as duas bibliotecas revelou um total de 127 tags diferencialmente expressos (P<0,05). Os folículos ovarianos de novilhas púberes apresentaram expressão mais elevada de algumas enzimas esteroidogências (CYP11A1 e CYP19) e do transportador de colesterol para a mitocôndria (StAR) indicando intensa atividade esteroidogência (produção de estrógeno) quando comparada ao folículo das bezerras pré-púberes. Além disso, o CTGF (fator de crescimento do tecido conectivo) e o TIMP2 (inibidor tecidual de metaloproteinases) foram mais abundantes nos folículos dos animais púberes, indicando que os mesmos já iniciaram o processo de luteinização, sem entrentanto iniciar o processo de ruptura da matriz extracelular que ocorre na ovulação. A maior expressão de genes relacionados ao metabolismo da matriz extracelular e do citoesqueleto (como por exemplo a osteonectina, a actina e proteínas relacionadas à actina) sugere que os folículos dos animais púberes estão se preparando para a remodelação tecidual. A maior expressão de conexina 43 (gap junction protein) nos folículos dos animais púberes sugere uma intensa comunicação das células da granulosa entre si e com o oócito quando comparadas aos folículos das bezerras pré-púberes. Dentre os genes diferencialmente expressos e mais abundantes no folículo das bezerras pré-púberes, destacou-se o gene da proopiomelanocortina (POMC), que codifica vários fatores hipofisários. Os conhecimentos gerados por este trabalho poderão ser úteis para a identificação de marcadores genéticos para aplicação em programas de seleção assistida por marcadores<br>Puberty is the stage where any mammal, male or female, becomes able to produce viable gametes and manifest complete sexual behavior. These are results from the gradative adjustment between the increase in gonadotrophic activity and the ability of gonads in undergoing simultaneously both steroidogenesis and gametogenesis. One of the major factors interferring with puberty initiation is the genetics. Puberty is a physiological process controlled by several factors (organic and environmental) related with the expression of several genes, most of them with unknown function. Differential gene expression approaches, in particular the Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE), include tools that allow the global and simultaneous analysis of several transcripts from a given tissue, being known or unknown, providing qualitative and semi-quantitative information about the genetic profiles of any cellular type of interest. Using the SAGE approach, the aim of the present study was to analyse the differential gene expression profiles of ovarian follicles from pubertal and pre-pubertal Nelore breed females, observed for the presence or not of follicular growth waves ending in an ovulation, A total of 14,531 and 14,285 tags had their DNA sequences determined, revealing the existence of 6,840 and 6,386 unique tags (pre-pubertal and pubertal follicle libraries respectively). Comparison between the two SAGE libraries revealed 127 differentially expressed genes (P<0,05). Follicles from pubertal heifers showed increased expression of some steroidogenic enzymes (CYP11A1 and CYP19) and StAR, the mitochondrial cholesterol transporter, which together indicates a marked steroidogenic activity (oestrogen production), when compared with follicles from pre-pubertal heifers. Furthermore, connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and TIMP2 (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2) were shown to be increased in pubertal follicles, indicating the starting of luteinization proccess, without however initiating the rupture of extracellular matrix, which takes place in ovulation. Higher levels of expression presented by extracellular matrix and cytoskeletal related genes (as examples osteonectin, actin and actin-related proteins) also indicate that the follicle from pubertal heifers is at the verge of tissue remodelation. The higher expression of connexin 43 (gap junction protein) indicated that this follicle shows a more intense communication among granulosa cells and between these and the oocyte, as compared to the pre-pubertal calves follicle. Among the differentially expressed genes more abundant in the pre-pubertal follicle is the proopiomelanocortin gene (POMC), which codifies to some hypophiseal factors. The knowledge generated by this study may contribute to the identification of genetic markers to be used in marker assisted selection programmes

Full textAbstract:
Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter sage-grouse) numbers have declined throughout the western US and are considered a species of concern in most of the eleven states that are within their range. Sage-grouse habitats have been reduced by approximately 44% since European settlement of the Western United States began (Miller et al. 2011). Loss of habitat has contributed to an average decline of sage-grouse populations by 33% across the range (Connelly and Braun 1997). To expand our knowledge of this species, I monitored 16 radio-collared sage-grouse captured from four leks in Hamlin Valley, Utah, USA in 2011 and 2012 to determine habitat use. The Hamlin Valley population was primarily one-stage migratory but non-migratory behaviors were also observed. Birds from at least one of the leks used seasonal habitats in neighboring Nevada.
Sage-grouse evolved in habitats where infrastructure (e.g. vertical structures) was not common. Introduction of infrastructure, such as fences in their habitat, can cause direct mortality via collision but may also indirectly influence productivity by increasing artificial perches for avian predators (e.g. golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) , red-tailed hawks (Buteo jamaicensis), and common ravens (Corvus corax). This research focused on collision rates and increased potential for avian predation on two small populations on the southern portion of the range of current occupied sage-grouse habitat in southwestern vi Utah. During 2011-2012, over 450 km of fences were surveyed for signs of collision and use by avian predators during all seasons (breeding, fall migration, and winter). No sage-grouse collisions were observed suggesting that management for sage-grouse in small populations may be better focused on improving habitat and reducing other causes of mortality which may be more prevalent. Fence post width (i.e. the perching surface) was the best predictor of use as perch by avian predators. Additionally, areas farther from other natural perches, with a low density of surrounding vegetation, and fences constructed along defined habitat edges were used by avian predators more frequently. Results of this study suggest that managers should construct fences with small widths to deter avian predators and care should be taken to maintain contiguous vegetation on either side of the posts while maintaining low shrub density.

« Développement local », « processus participatif », « décentralisation », « approche bottom/top » : autant de termes omniprésents dans le monde du développement, employés aussi bien par les acteurs que par les chercheurs, qui impliquent une considération des pratiques autochtones dans la promotion du développement « durable », c'est-à-dire socialement et écologiquement pérenne. Dans le contexte de la Guinée Maritime où les pratiques et les stratégies sont fortement communautarisées, il est vite apparu que l'appréhension des réalités locales avec des outils classiques restait limitée. L'accès à la main d'œuvre, aux ressources, au foncier est étroitement conditionné par les phénomènes de domination. Le recours à une approche originale, basée sur le décryptage des rapports de force et de leurs implications, a permis de mettre à jour aussi bien les processus décisionnaires que les fondements des stratégies locales, au sens large du terme. Au-delà d'un éclairage sur les orientations des pouvoirs locaux, elle révèle surtout la cohérence de la gestion du territoire par les autorités coutumières, apportant ainsi des éléments précieux pour discuter des politiques de développement pratiquées en République de Guinée. Il semble en effet regrettable de ne pas s'appuyer sur ces structures existantes et efficaces et de ne pas chercher à intégrer effectivement les populations dans les processus de décentralisation de la gestion du territoire lorsqu'on sait que leurs objectifs sont proches de ceux de l'Etat : la durabilité des ressources et le développement socio-économique.

Full textAbstract:
John Watson's thought has not been well understood. A question suggested by previous scholarship, namely, how successful was he at his task of re-founding the Christian religion on a philosophical base? is answered first in terms of consistency with the theological tradition. His revision of Christian theology is found to be inadequate by traditional standards; it is then examined as a philosophy of religion which, to his mind, overcame the difficulties of classical theism. It is argued that, despite some advantages, his philosophy of religion is deficient in two respects. First, its method is vitiated by a strained and sometimes mistaken interpretation of the philosophical tradition, indicative of arbitrariness. Second, "Speculative Idealism" as the result of that method reveals conceptual ambiguities corresponding to the ambiguities of classical theism. As the method is not self-evident and is used implicitly by Watson, and the results are philosophically ambiguous, the appropriation of this thought was theologically or philosophically shallow. Though Watson's thought, as far as it was understood, provided an underpinning for the "social gospel" movement in Canada, it is argued that this shallow appropriation explains, at least in part, the brevity of its appeal as philosophy of religion.

Il est jeté au mon-de (Heidegger) dans l'angoisse de sa finitude et s'il ne rencontrait dans l'instant même de sa naissance ses médiateurs humains, en premier lieu sa mère, il ne pourrait affronter le négatif, l'Autre, et ne survivrait pas.Pour que s'ouvre l'espace de la naissance, pour que la mère puisse accueillir son enfant à travers les épreuves de séparation, pour qu'elle puisse laisser venir la langue maternelle, et que puisse s'incarner l'esprit dans ce nouveau-venu, elle doit pouvoir rencontrer elle aussi les médiateurs de la naissance. Certains s'évanouissent après avoir permis ce passage d'un état à un autre, d'autres persistent sous la forme d'un double --protecteur ou menaçant--. Ils accompagnent chaque naissance et le commencement de toute vie humaine. Les mythes et les rites les reconnaissent dans toutes les cultures.Cependant la médecine technicienne contemporaine qui s'est emparée de la naissance redoute la séparation, le travail du négatif, et pratique le déni, celui de la grossesse, de l'autre femme, des médiateurs de la naissance. Elle s'appuie sur l'expertise technique et mathématique, sur l'imagerie et la statistique pour créer un double imaginaire de l'enfant, celui du projet de la science, immortel et par-fait, masqué par le projet parental.La sage-femme traverse ces espaces, elle connaît les médiateurs.

Son art est difficile, sa sagesse est indicible, elle passe d'un monde à l'autre au risque de disparaître, broyée par l'arraisonnement de la Technique triomphante, aspirée par la démesure du désir de l'homme qui voudrait se créer lui-même ou par la tentation des arrière-mondes qui la condamne à rester en marge dans l'ombre archaïque des mystères.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is an interdisciplinary study of the reign of Emperor Huizong (1100-1126), whose rule proved so paradoxical: after building a new stage of the Northern Song dynasty that resulted in two decades of prosperity, his empire collapsed within a few years. The dissertation examines the strengths and weaknesses of the three leading explanations of the failure of Huizong’s rule, and it shows why they cannot adequately account for the collapse of the empire. The root cause of Huizong’s downfall was not that he was an undisciplined ruler, or that he was the victim of military misjudgements, or that he badly handled tensions between his own Daoist beliefs and a Confucian bureaucracy, as has been claimed. The dissertation asserts that Huizong instead had a legitimation problem. It shows that in his struggle for political power Huizong mainly relied upon the doctrine of the Wise Ruler. This doctrine is analysed in some detail, in order to develop the main thesis. It is argued that Huizong’s attachment to the Wise Ruler doctrine trapped him within a dilemma: questing for unrestrained political power and at the same time claiming authority as a sage-like ruler. This contradiction eventually triggered his downfall. The dissertation shows that the Wise Ruler doctrine stipulated that (a) the emperor’s power and authority should be tightly integrated; (b) that there had to be a subtle balance between the emperor and the other forces in the ruling group; and (c) the ruling group was entitled to comprehensive dominance over the common people. In practice, the dissertation argues, the consolidation of Huizong’s political power destroyed the balance in the ruling group and exacerbated tensions with the disadvantaged common people. The tensions between the emperor’s power and authority sowed the seeds of the Northern Song empire’s destruction. The dissertation argues that the case of Huizong is of great relevance for future research on pre-modern and modern Chinese political leadership, political system and political culture, and that the issue of power and authority is a perennial challenge for all rulers.

This study examined winter habitat use and nesting ecology of greater sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in Strawberry Valley (SV), Utah located in the north-central part of the state. We monitored sage grouse with the aid of radio telemetry throughout the year, but specifically used information from the winter and nesting periods for this study. Our study provided evidence that sage grouse show fidelity to nesting areas in subsequent years regardless of nest success. We found only 57% of our nests located within the 3 km distance from an active lek typically used to delineate critical nesting habitat. We suggest a more conservative distance of 10 km for our study area. Whenever possible, we urge consideration of nest-area fidelity in conservation planning across the range of greater sage grouse. We also evaluated winter-habitat selection at multiple spatial scales. Sage grouse in our study area selected gradual slopes with high amounts of sagebrush exposed above the snow. We produced a map that identified suitable winter habitat for sage grouse in our study area. This map highlighted core areas that should be conserved and will provide a basis for management decisions affecting Strawberry Valley, Utah.

Full textAbstract:
Management of greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in the west has changed over the last several decades in response to environmental and anthropogenic causes. Many land and wildlife management agencies have begun manipulating sagebrush with herbicides, machinery, and fire. The intent of these manipulations (treatments) is to reduce sagebrush canopy cover and increase the density of grass and forb species, thus providing higher quality sage-grouse brood-rearing habitat. However, monitoring of sage-grouse response to such manipulations has often been lacking or non-existent. The objective of our study was to determine the response of sage-grouse to sagebrush reduction treatments that have occurred recently in Rich County, Utah. Our study areas were treated with a pasture aerator with the intent of creating sage-grouse brood-rearing habitat. We used pellet transects, occupancy sampling, and GPS radio telemetry to quantify sage-grouse habitat use in treated and untreated areas. Pellet transect, occupancy, and GPS radio telemetry methods all showed a strong pattern of sage-grouse use of treated sites during the breeding and early brood-rearing periods. Sage-grouse use of treated sites was greatest in lower elevation habitat (1950 to 2110 m), and use was highest during the breeding and early brood-rearing periods. We found very little use of higher elevation (2120 to 2250 m) treated or untreated sites. Our results suggest that sagebrush reduction treatments can have positive impacts on sage-grouse use at lower elevations and can be successful in creating brood-rearing habitat. Elevation differences and period of sage-grouse use were significant factors in our study in determining how beneficial sagebrush reduction treatments were for sage-grouse.

MALTA, T.M. Análise do perfil de expressão gênica em linfócitos T CD8+ isolados de pacientes infectados pelo HTLV-1. 2009. 137f. Dissertação de Mestrado. Faculdade de Ciências Farmacêuticas de Ribeirão Preto - Universidade de São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, 2009. O vírus linfotrópico de células T humanas tipo 1 (HTLV-1) foi o primeiro retrovírus humano descrito e está etiologicamente associado a duas principais manifestações clínicas: a leucemia ou linfoma de células T do adulto (ATLL) e a mielopatia associada ao HTLV-1 ou paraparesia espástica tropical (HAM/TSP). É estimado que 3 a 5% das pessoas infectadas pelo HTLV-1 desenvolvem as doenças associadas, enquanto a maioria permanece assintomática. A HAM/TSP é uma manifestação inflamatória do sistema nervoso central e o mecanismo pelo qual o HTLV-1 induz o surgimento de HAM/TSP ainda é questão de debate. Os linfócitos T CD8+ citotóxicos (CTL) têm uma participação importante na resposta imunológica dirigida contra o HTLV-1 e a eficiência com que as CTLs eliminam as células infectadas pelo vírus está relacionada com a carga proviral (CPV) do indivíduo e consequentemente com o risco de desenvolvimento de HAM/TSP. No presente trabalho, foram avaliados os perfis de expressão gênica de linfócitos T CD8+ isolados de portadores assintomáticos (HAC), pacientes com HAM/TSP (HAM/TSP) e de indivíduos sadios (CT) por meio da metodologia de Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE). Os linfócitos T CD8+ utilizados foram isolados por meio de separação imunomagnética e um pool composto de quatro indivíduos infectados para cada grupo, HAC e HAM/TSP foi utilizado para a construção das bibliotecas. A análise do SAGE resultou num total de 51.017, 62.432 e 60.620 tags sequenciadas para as bibliotecas CT, HAC e HAM/TSP, respectivamente, o que permitiu a identificação de aproximadamente 12.000 transcritos diferentes em cada biblioteca. Foram identificados cerca de 900 genes diferencialmente expressos entre as bibliotecas CT e HAC ou HAM/TSP. A comparação dos grupos HAC e HAM/TSP revelou 290 genes. Um grande número destes genes diferencialmente expressos está envolvido com os processos de apoptose, adesão e migração celular. Os achados foram validados pela metodologia de PCR em tempo real em um total de 17 indivíduos assintomáticos, 14 com HAM/TSP e 24 indivíduos sadios. A validação evidenciou o aumento da expressão dos genes envolvidos na lise mediada por células PRF1, GZMB e GZMH, além do aumento de CCL5, ZAP70 e PXN nos indivíduos infectados pelo HTLV-1. Além disso, os resultados mostraram redução nos níveis de expressão de CXCR4 nesses pacientes. Adicionalmente, foi realizada a quantificação dos níveis protéicos de PRF1 e GZMB por citometria de fluxo e os resultados corroboraram com a PCR em tempo real. O perfil gênico dos linfócitos T CD8+ demonstrou a ocorrência de intensa ativação e migração celular durante a infecção pelo HTLV-1. Essas evidências indicam que as células CD8+ dos indivíduos infectados pelo HTLV-1 parecem contribuir mais para a proteção e controle da infecção pelo vírus, e menos para o desenvolvimento de HAM/TSP. Este foi o primeiro trabalho a analisar a expressão global de linfócitos T CD8+ nesta infecção por meio de SAGE e permitiu a geração de dados que serão empregados em diferentes abordagens na pesquisa com HTLV-1.<br>MALTA, T.M. Serial Analysis of Gene Expression in CD8+ T-cells isolated from HTLV-1 infected individuals. 2009. 137f. Dissertação de Mestrado. Faculdade de Ciências Farmacêuticas de Ribeirão Preto - Universidade de São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, 2009. Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) was the first human retrovirus discovered and is related with two major diseases: adult T cell lymphoma/leukaemia (ATLL) and HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). About 3 to 5% of infected individuals will develop HTLV-1 related diseases, while the majority remains life-long asymptomatic carriers of the virus. HAM/TSP is an inflammatory manifestation of central nervous system and the mechanism involved in HAM/TSP development are not well elucidated. CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) have an important function in the immune response against the HTLV-1 and is related with the individual proviral load and so in the risk of HAM/TSP. To identify genes differentially expressed among non-infected individuals, asymptomatic (HAC) and HAM/TSP (HAM/TSP) patients we performed a serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) using CD8+ T cells isolated from these individuals. The CD8+ T lymphocytes were isolated by magnetic cell separation system and HAC and HAM/TSP SAGE libraries were composed by pooled of four samples. SAGE analysis of 51,017, 62,432 and 60,620 tags from control, HAC and HAM/TSP groups respectively, allowed identification of approximately 12,000 different transcripts in each library. The expression profile revealed around 900 genes differentially expressed between control group and HAC or HAM/TSP, and 290 genes were identified between HAC and HAM/TSP groups. The expression profile revealed the presence of highly frequent transcripts related to apoptosis, cell adhesion and cell migration. These results were validated by real time PCR in 17 HTLV-1 asymptomatic carriers, 14 patients with HAM/TSP and 24 healthy individuals. The validation revealed the increased levels of expression of the cytolysis genes PRF1, GZMB and GZMH, and the increases of CCL5, ZAP70 and PXN in the HTLV-1 infected individuals. Besides, the CXCR4 was suppressed in these patients. Additionally, we performed the protein quantification of PRF1 and GZMB by flow cytometry and the real time PCR results were confirmed. The CD8+ T cells profiles showed strong cell activation and cell migration in HTLV-1 infection. These data suggests that CD8+ T cells from HTLV-1 individuals seem to contribute more to the protection and virus infection control than to the HAM/TSP development. This study represents the first extensive serial analysis of gene expression of CD8+T cells in HTLV-1 infection and allowed to generate data that will be used in different approaches in HTLV-1 research.

MiRNAs são pequenas moléculas de RNAs endógenos não codificantes com aproximadamente 23nt que atuam na regulação da expressão gênica. A sua função é inibir a tradução de genes transcritos através de um mecanismo que viabiliza a ligação do miRNA com o mRNA alvo levando à inibição da tradução ou a degradação do RNA mensageiro. Estudos evidenciam a relação dos miRNAs com diversos processos biológicos como proliferação celular, diferenciação, desenvolvimento e doenças. Uma vez que estão envolvidos na regulação gênica, também alteram as vias metabólicas. Atualmente, as ferramentas computacionais disponíveis para o estudo dos miRNAs são o miRBase, microCosm, o miRGen e o miRNAmap. Elas possuem informações sobre as sequências dos miRNAs, genes alvos e sobre elementos que estão próximos à região dos miRNAs. Embora o avanço até o momento, não existia que relacionasse os miRNAs com as vias metabólicas, para isso foi construída a plataforma miRNApath que auxilia no estudo da função dos miRNAs por meio da análise do seus alvos dentro vias metabólicas. De modo semelhante, também não existia uma abordagem que relacione dados de expressão miRNAs e seus alvos dentro de um mesmo experimento. Para tanto, neste trabalho foi feita uma abordagem utilizando bibliotecas de SAGE (Serial Analysis of Gene Expression) que será incorporada no miRNApath. O miRNApath encontra-se disponível em http://lgmb.fmrp.usp.br/mirnapath.<br>MiRNAs are small molecules of endogenous non-coding RNAs with approximately 23nt in length that acts over gene expression regulation. Its function is inhibit the translation of gene transcripts through a mechanism that links the miRNA with its mRNA target leading to a translational repression or degradation. Studies show the relation of RNAs in many biological processes like cell proliferation, dierentiation and development of diseases. Since they are involved in gene regulation, they also change the metabolic pathways. Currently, the available computational tools for the study of miRNAs are miRBase, microCosm, miRGen and miRNAmap. They have information about miRNAs sequences, targets and features. Despite the the advances, until now, there is no tool that correlates the miRNAs with metabolic pathways, therefore we developed the miRNApath platform that helps in the analysis of miRNAs function through the study of its targets that are into the metabolic pathway. In the same way, there is no approach that put together information of expression of miRNAs and its targets in the same experiment. In this work we develop an approach with SAGE (Serial Analysis of Gene Expression ) libraries that will be integrated to miRNApath. The plataform is avaible at http://lgmb.fmrp.usp.br/mirnapath.

Full textAbstract:
Spatial Statistical Analysis (SSA) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are instrumental in many areas of geographical study. However, their use tends to be separate one from another. This has prevented their potential in many application areas from being realised. This research is an attempt to bring the two technologies together for a specific application area - health research. There are two research objectives. The first and main objective is to construct a software package - SAGE - by integrating necessary SSA techniques with ARC/INFO, a GIS, to enable the user to undertake a coherent study of area-based health-related data. The second objective is to evaluate and demonstrate SAGE through a case study. A range of SSA techniques was identified to be useful for addressing typical health questions. A three-tier client-server model was suggested and argued to be the most appropriate for integration as it takes advantages of both the loose-coupling and close-coupling approaches. Under this model, a SSA component forms the client, while ARCH/INFO functions as the server. They are linked through the middle tier - the linking agent. The development of SAGE provided experiences useful for developing a generic SSA module in the future for any GIS that confonns to a set of well-defined standard application interfaces. An empirical study of colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence for the city of Sheffield using SAGE is presented. It shows the usefulness of the SAGE regionalisation tool in constructing an appropriate regional framework for subsequent data analyses and of both exploratory and confirmatory spatial data analysis in exploring the characteristics of CRC incidence. Some weaknesses of SAGE are identified, while remedies for them are suggested. Future work is recommended. The SAGE User Guide, related publications and the SAGE source and executable code as well as the data used in the case study are enclosed for reference.

Full textAbstract:
Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) on Caenorhabditis elegans RNA from FACS sorted embryonic body wall muscle cells has identified nearly 8000 genes expressed in nematode body wall muscle. Approximately 60% of these are genes are expressed at low levels (<5 tags/~50,000-100,000 tag library). Low-abundance transcripts have typically been overlooked since most are considered experimental or contamination errors. Consequently, research has been focused on transcripts that are most enriched in the particular tissue of interest. Here I focus on the analysis of low-expressed transcripts in the muscle SAGE libraries in order to investigate what percentage of these are in fact expressed in muscle and are not false positives. Most well characterized C. elegans body wall muscle genes are not expressed at low levels, therefore I anticipate that focusing on these rarely expressed genes will allow for the identification of muscle components that have been previously unrecognized.
RT-PCR was performed on RNA isolated from purified body wall muscle cells to initially estimate what fraction of these low abundance transcripts present in the SAGE data are indeed expressed in muscle. I examined 128 genes, of which 84 were represented by a single SAGE tag. From this initial list, 38% of the low-expressed transcripts were verified for their presence in body wall muscle. Subsequently, reporter GFP fusions were used to deduce if these low-expressed transcripts are indeed expressed in vivo within muscle. Of the low-expressed genes that tested positive via RT-PCR, 42% showed in vivo expression in body wall muscle. When the results from the RT-PCR and in vivo expression experiments are combined, I can extrapolate that at least 16% of low-expressed genes identified by the SAGE libraries are in fact expressed in muscle and are not false positives.
RNAi and knockout analysis were performed in order to investigate the role of low-expressed muscle genes in myofilament structure. RNAi results show that 14/34 (41%) of the genes screened had mild defects in myofilament organization. The SAGE libraries identified 6388 low-expressed transcripts, this work suggests that at least 16% (1022 genes) of these are in fact expressed in muscle and may reveal new components previously overlooked by other approaches.
