Abstract:

When Dikaiopolis calls theauletaiaccompanying the Theban who comes to trade with him wasps (Ach. 864), he responds in part to a buzz-like sound produced by theirauloi. Contributing to the instruments’ buzzing may have been dissonance caused by so many pipes played at once, the pipes’ material (bone), and a playing technique that placed emphasis on the lowest notes. The instruments’ music is out of place because the scene is in iambic trimeters, which were almost always performed without accompaniment. Dikaiopolis also calls theauletaiwasps because their arrival reminds him of the Spartan army, which regularly marched, fought, and performed rituals to the accompaniment of multipleauloi.

Abstract:

Plant stinging hairs have fascinated humans for time immemorial. True stinging hairs are highly specialized plant structures that are able to inject a physiologically active liquid into the skin and can be differentiated from irritant hairs (causing mechanical damage only). Stinging hairs can be classified into two basic types: Urtica-type stinging hairs with the classical “hypodermic syringe” mechanism expelling only liquid, and Tragia-type stinging hairs expelling a liquid together with a sharp crystal. In total, there are some 650 plant species with stinging hairs across five remotely related plant families (i.e., belonging to different plant orders). The family Urticaceae (order Rosales) includes a total of ca. 150 stinging representatives, amongst them the well-known stinging nettles (genus Urtica). There are also some 200 stinging species in Loasaceae (order Cornales), ca. 250 stinging species in Euphorbiaceae (order Malphigiales), a handful of species in Namaceae (order Boraginales), and one in Caricaceae (order Brassicales). Stinging hairs are commonly found on most aerial parts of the plants, especially the stem and leaves, but sometimes also on flowers and fruits. The ecological role of stinging hairs in plants seems to be essentially defense against mammalian herbivores, while they appear to be essentially inefficient against invertebrate pests. Stinging plants are therefore frequent pasture weeds across different taxa and geographical zones. Stinging hairs are usually combined with additional chemical and/or mechanical defenses in plants and are not a standalone mechanism. The physiological effects of stinging hairs on humans vary widely between stinging plants and range from a slight itch, skin rash (urticaria), and oedema to sharp pain and even serious neurological disorders such as neuropathy. Numerous studies have attempted to elucidate the chemical basis of the physiological effects. Since the middle of the 20th century, neurotransmitters (acetylcholine, histamine, serotonin) have been repeatedly detected in stinging hairs of Urticaceae, but recent analyses of Loasaceae stinging hair fluids revealed high variability in their composition and content of neurotransmitters. These substances can explain some of the physiological effects of stinging hairs, but fail to completely explain neuropathic effects, pointing to some yet unidentified neurotoxin. Inorganic ions (e.g., potassium) are detected in stinging hairs and could have synergistic effects. Very recently, ultrastable miniproteins dubbed “gympietides” have been reported from two species of Dendrocnide, arguably the most violently stinging plant. Gympietides are shown to be highly neurotoxic, providing a convincing explanation for Dendrocnide toxicity. For the roughly 648 remaining stinging plant species, similarly convincing data on toxicity are still lacking.

Abstract:

Individuals of the cnidarian genus Physalia are a common sight at New Zealand beaches and are the primary cause of jellyfish stings to beachgoers each year. The identity of the species and the environmental factors that determine its presence are unknown. Lack of knowledge of many marine species is not unusual, as pelagic invertebrates often lack detailed taxonomic descriptions as well as information about their dispersal mechanisms such that meaningful patterns of distribution and dispersal are almost impossible to determine. Molecular systematics has proven to be a powerful tool for species identification and for determining geographical distributions. However, other techniques are needed to indicate the causal mechanisms that may result in a particular species distribution. The aim of this study was to apply molecular techniques to the cnidarian genus Physalia to establish which species occur in coastal New Zealand, and to apply models to attempt to forecast its occurrence and infer some mechanisms of dispersal. Physalia specimens were collected from New Zealand, Australia and Hawaii and sequenced for Cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) and the Internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1). Three clans were found: a Pacific-wide clan, an Australasian clan and New Zealand endemic clan with a distribution confined to the Bay of Plenty and the East Coast of the North Island. Forecasting Physalia occurrence directly from presence data using artificial neural networks (ANN) proved unsuccessful and it was necessary to pre-process the presence data using a variable sliding window to reduce noise and improve accuracy. This modelling approach outperformed the time lagged based networks giving improved forecasts in both regions that were assessed. The ANN models were able to indicated significant trends in the data but would require more data at higher resolution to give more accurate forecasts of Physalia occurrence suitable for decision making on New Zealand beaches. To determine possible causal mechanisms of recorded occurrences and to identify possible origins of Physalia the presence and absence of Physalia on swimming beaches throughout the summer season was modelled using ANN and Naϊve Bayesian Classifier (NBC). Both models were trained on the same data consisting of oceanographic variables. The modelling carried out in this study detected two dynamic systems, which matched the distribution of the molecular clans. One system was centralised in the Bay of Plenty matching the New Zealand endemic clan. The other involved a dynamic system that encompassed four other regions on both coasts of the country that matched the distribution of the other clans. By combining the results it was possible to propose a framework for Physalia distribution including a mechanism that has driven clan divergence. Moreover, potential blooming areas that are notoriously hard to establish for jellyfish were hypothesised for further study and/or validation.

Abstract:

Introduction The author's interest in the therapeutic potential of the sting of nettles began with the presentation of two patients in his general practice surgery who were self-prescribing nettle sting for their arthritis pain. The publication of these two case reports produced responses from four other doctors about similar cases. Historical and contemporary research An extensive literature and database review produced few references from the medical literature but numerous anecdotal references from herbal and folklore sources of worldwide internal and external use of nettle since Roman times. The author has been asked to contribute two chapters on the historical and contemporary medicinal use of stinging nettles to a book entitled 'The Urtica Plant'. Scientific background The botany, chemistry and pharmacology of the stinging nettle are reviewed. This is followed by consideration of the structure, chemistry and mechanism of the stinging hairs. The constituents of the nettle sting that are of key interest are the three neurotransmitters acetylcholine, histamine and serotonin, and also three leukotrienes. Pain theory Areas of possible special relevance to nettle analgesia are the known serotonin and histamine involvement in nociceptor activation, capsaicin substance P depletion and thermal hyperalgesia (possibly similar to nettle sting), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) analgesia, and the gate control theory. Osteoarthritis Its clinical features, pattern and variability of pain, and treatments are considered. Attention is paid especially to non-pharmacological treatment strategies. Qualitative study The author and co-researchers' qualitative study of self-prescribed users of nettle sting for arthritis is reported in detail. 18 patient in-depth interviews were taped, verbatim transcripts constructed, themes entered on an Access database and analysed into categories and hypotheses. 17 out of 18 patients considered themselves improved or cured by nettle sting treatment. The findings of this exploratory study have recently been published. Information regarding mode of use, application and effect of nettle sting was extracted to plan our randomised controlled study. Randomised controlled trial Prior to our randomised controlled study all published evidence of the analgesic effect of nettle sting has been anecdotal. This study compared the pain and disability reduction effect of the application of stinging nettle ( Urtica dioica) leaf with that of a placebo, deadnettle (Lamium album) leaf. A statistically significant reduction of pain and disability was observed. In addition all other monitored outcomes of analgesic and anti-inflammatory consumption, sleep, and patient satisfaction produced supporting evidence of a treatment effect. There were no serious side effects and the treatment was acceptable to the majority of patients. Conclusion It is concluded that the sting of the common stinging nettle is a useful and freely available treatment for musculoskeletal pain. These findings should encourage further research to determine this therapy's full potential, safety, and mechanism of action. The author plans further collaborative research in this field.

Abstract:

Stinging nettle/common nettle (U. dioica L.) is known since ancient times as a wild source of food and a herbal medicine, but the plant remains underutilized. Drying of stinging nettle leaves not only allow their use when the plants are not physiologically active but also extend their consumption period and utilization at times of food shortage and for addressing micronutrient malnutrition. However, drying could result in decomposition of heat sensitive metabolites such as fatty acids, amino acids, carotenoids, ascorbic acid and insoluble phenolic compounds present in the fresh stinging nettle leaves. These changes might lead to production of volatile compounds, non-volatile compounds, soluble phenolic compounds etc. The systematic description of the aroma, flavour and colour of cooked stinging nettle leaves and leaf infusions, prepared from fresh or dried leaves has not been published. With this study, the effects of using fresh or oven-dried leaves to cook a relish or to prepare an infusion on sensory and nutritional properties were measured. In addition, the effect of two infusion cycles on the sensory properties of leaf infusions was determined. Although the colour changed during heat processing, most of the characteristic green-related aroma and flavour notes of fresh nettle leaves were preserved in cooked leaves and leaf infusions prepared from dried leaves. When cooking the leaves, the use of dried leaves resulted in an increase in fermented aroma, earthy, burnt flavour, bitter and also salty taste compared to fresh leaves. In leaf infusions, a decrease of grassy, earthy and mint aromas as well as seafood and green-herblike aroma and flavour notes were observed. The first two brewed infusions from fresh or dried leaves provided similar aroma and flavour intensities. Further, the ∆E (total colour difference) value, showed variation in colour of fresh leaves compared to oven dried leaves. The ∆E value also showed variation in colour between the two infusion cycles as well as in uncooked and cooked leaves. The change in aroma, flavour and colour of leaf infusions and cooked leaves when oven dried leaves were used compared to fresh leaves, prompted an investigation into the effect of drying methods (i.e. freeze-drying and oven drying) on nutritional properties of stinging nettle leaf food products and food ingredient components. Oven drying of stinging nettle leaves resulted in a higher loss of β-carotene and ascorbic acid content compared to freeze drying. A typical serving portion of either fresh, freeze dried or oven dried nettle leaves could provide more than 20 % of the daily value of vitamin A (e.g. 870 µg per day); therefore, nettle leaves in all these forms are rich sources of vitamin A. In contrast, freeze dried and oven dried nettle leaves were found to be a good source of vitamin C while fresh leaves can be considered as a rich source of vitamin C. In general, dried stinging nettle leaves can be considered as a rich source of Ca, Mg and vitamin A; a good source of vitamin C, Fe, and Mn; and a source of Mg and K. In contrast to a decrease in β-carotene and ascorbic acid content, an increase in total phenol content and antioxidant activity were observed in oven dried leaves compared to fresh stinging nettle leaves. Dried stinging nettle leaves or leaf powder are used to make infusions and decoctions for human medicinal and nutritional purposes due to the antioxidant properties of its constituent vitamins A and C, and phenolic compounds. This led to further investigation into the effect of the type of extraction (i.e. infusion and decoction) on the ascorbic acid, β-carotene, total phenol content, antioxidant activity of stinging nettle leaf powder manufactured using freeze drying or oven drying. β-carotene and ascorbic acid was found to be higher in infusions compared to decoctions. The total phenol content and antioxidant activity of decoction samples were significantly higher compared to infusions (p < 0.01). This study provides evidence that stinging nettle leaf food products could potentially contributes to dietary intakes of minerals (i.e. Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn, Mg and K), protein, vitamins (i.e. A and C) and antioxidants and can potentially be incorporated in the diet for overcoming micronutrient malnutrition. Further consumer research is needed to determine which sensory characteristics of the products from stinging nettles drive liking or disliking by target consumers. All in all, this study contributes to the understanding of the potential of stinging nettle for addressing food and nutrition security.

Abstract:

Climate change is causing many species to expand their ranges northwards, potentially impacting on the communities that they join through direct and indirect interactions. This thesis focuses on temporal and spatial variation in interactions in a single study system, lepidopteran hosts feeding on stinging nettles and their parasitoids, through collection of caterpillars fi'om sites in the north west of England. Quantitative food webs revealed two distinct sub-compartments for moths and butterflies. Strong links between the two most abundant butterfly species, Aglais urticae and A. io and their two parasitoid species, a tachinid, Pelatachina tibialis, and an ichneumonid, Phobocampe conjilsa, indicated potential for indirect interactions. The range-expanding species, A. io, was not found to be experiencing enemy release in recently colonised areas. The resident species, A. urticae, experienced higher parasitism rates at sites recently colonised by A. io than at sites where both species had been present for a long duration. At the site level, presence and parasitism rates of the butterfly hosts were not related to habitat features, however, both host species experienced higher parasitism with low connectivity to the other host species. Whilst parasitism rates by Ph. conjilsa were higher in more isolated nests, parasitism by P. tibialis was higher in well connected nests. With reference to the natural history of the parasitoid species, it is proposed that Ph. conjilsa uses isolated hosts to avoid P. tibialis, a potentially superior competitor. Finally, it was found that coexistence of the two host species and the two parasitoid species in this system is likely to persist through differential host use by the parasitoids, mainly mediated through differing phenologies. This thesis provides new and valuable information on the spatial and temporal variations in the interactions between co-occurring common lepidopteran species and their parasitoids in the context of climate change.

Abstract:

This dissertation examines the authorial techniques used by Philip K. Dick to establish his work as science fiction. It focuses on four of his novels (two relatively minor novels in The Cosmic Puppets and Solar Lottery, and two major novels in The Man in the High Castle and Valis). These novels represent four important stages in Dick's career, and in his conception of science fiction as a genre of storytelling. Throughout this dissertation, emphasis is placed on how these novels express their science fiction identity on the language level, from the structure of their sentences, to the organization of their chapters, to the specific generic elements (including pseudotechnology, pseudohistory, and pseudotheology) that each novel includes.

This project provides close readings of each novel. These readings are shaped by narrative theory, and they are informed by Dick's total body of work, and, more generally, 20^th Century American science fiction. The result is a view of science fiction that sees the genre less as a product of plot elements (faster-than-light travel, telepathy, aliens, and so on), and more as a grammar that evokes a specific kind of relationship between reader and work. It also identifies a trajectory to the development of Dick's ideas about science fiction. Over the course of this study, it becomes clear that, in Dick's earlier works, science fiction is presented as an effective means of apprehending the universe. In Dick's later works, however, we can locate an increasing cynicism in the ability of science fiction to offer real meaning to its readers. In the end, while Dick's later novels might relate a rather pessimistic view of science fiction's potential, his career as a whole reflects a dynamic and open-ended search for significance, purpose, and underlying truth.

Abstract:

Spondylitis is a very common back and neck ailment that is reported to account for one-third of social problems causing difficulty at work. It is caused due to the inflammation in vertebral joints. Its condition goes undetected until the symptoms, such as that of severe pain, develops. It causes stinging pain which is focused around cervical region of vertebra, the shoulders and the lumbar region of the spine. Accordingly, it is classified into three types: cervical, thoracic and lumbosacral spondylosis. This is different from spondylitis which causes pain due to inflammation. Many existing devices use electric current to bring relief from pain. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is one of the most commonly used devices in this aspect. However, though this has been able to bring effective results to its patients, there is a whole lot of controversy in conditions it should be used to treat. Studies have shown these devices to bring relief by suppressing the signals from the brain. They are not advised for patients with pacemakers or any kind of electronically powered implantable devices. They are less effective where the skin is numb or in places where there is decreased sensation. It depends entirely on the working of the nerve beneath the surface and may cause irritation on the skin if the current is too high. Moreover, these devices need to be avoided in area where infection is present. High precaution needs to be taken when working with epilepsy patients and pregnant women; the electrical stimulation can interfere with the fetus development. With such a wide range of drawbacks, there is a need for a mechanical solution which can redress these problems and provide an effective and ergonomic solution. Along with overcoming the present barriers, research has been done to demonstrate the positive effects of vibration in increase of bone density, increase of muscle mass, increase of blood circulation, reduced back pain, reduced joint pain and boost in metabolism. The given paper discusses a device wherein vibrational motors have been incorporated, under the control of a microcontroller, to generate the requisite g-force needed for the purpose of pain alleviation and increase of bone density.
