Exposure to idealized media portrayals of women induces appearance dissatisfaction in females, in the short term. Interventions that highlight the artificial nature of media portrayals can mitigate this effect. The present research investigated whether a 75 second television commercial, that demonstrates behind-the-scenes techniques used to artificially enhance media models, could be similarly ...

Little is known about infants' perception of cross-modal cues to identity, but the importance of recognizing familiar individuals makes it likely that this skill would be evident early in life. Infants 6-8 months of age were tested on their ability to link dynamic cross-modal cues to the identity of unfamiliar speakers and singers. After exposure to speech or singing, infants watched two silent...

Extracellular soil enzymes are fundamental for the functioning of ecosystems. Several processes in depend on activity these enzymes, including plant decomposition, organic matter formation/mineralization, and nutrient cycling. Moreover, extracellular enzyme occurs is therefore influenced by environmental factors. Due to high sensitivity factors, used monitoring quality. This review aimed presen...

Posttranslational modification of proteins by the small molecule ubiquitin is a key regulatory event, and the enzymes catalyzing these modifications have been the focus of many studies. Deubiquitinating enzymes, which mediate the removal and processing of ubiquitin, may be functionally as important but are less well understood. Here, we present an inventory of the deubiquitinating enzymes encod...

the effect of long-term onion consumption on red blood cell antioxidant enzymes [glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd), superoxide dismutase (sod) and glutathione peroxidase (gpx)], were measured. the relationship of these enzymes with pcv and hemoglobin (hb) concentrations was also determined. twelve adult female goats were used for the experiment and randomly assigned to three groups. anim...

background: methyl 2-benzimidazole carbamate (carbendazim) is a synthetic fungicide used against organisms that cause different types of plant diseases. it is widely used as a preservative in leather, paint, textile, fruit, and paper industry. it is also used as an anticancer drug in clinical medicine. methods: to evaluate the low dose toxicity of this compound in mammalian tissues, carbendazim...

This review paper aimed to provides precious information about the function and use of different enzymes in dairy food applications. An enzyme is called a protein and catalyzes a specific reaction. Every enzyme is intended to initiate a particular reaction with a specific outcome. Moreover, numerous enzymes are present in the human body. Dairy food applications include the use of different enzy...

production of lignocellulolytic enzymes by the thermotolerant fomes sp. eum1 was determined in solid cultures using corn stover (cs) as a sole substrate or supplemented with 20 % wheat bran (cs+wb). this supplementation increased (p< 0.05) enzymatic activity per gram of initial dry matter (gdm) for xylanases and cellulases: 160 iu g dm-1 and 37 iu g dm-1, respectively; while laccases reached a ...

BACKGROUND This paper describes an assessment approach of clinical competencies which widens the number of problems and tasks evaluated using videos and images. METHOD Clinical Image and Video Assessment (CIVA) was used to assess clinical reasoning and decision making of final year medical students. Forty to fifty clinical videos and images supported by rich text vignette and reviewed by subj...
