Spiritism is a French offshoot of the spiritualistic movement that developed in the 19th century. In Brazil it is the fourth largest religion and its practices are deeply connected to mediumistic activity. This is not reimbursed but considered charitable voluntary work [8]. We examined the socio-demographic profile, social adjustment and mental health in Spiritist mediums as well as the clinica...

it is an increased interest in the therapeutic potential of cannabis sativa l. (marijuana) for treatment of multiple sclerosis and hiv neuropathy. because of limitation in cultivation of this plant, an efficient hairy root induction system for cannabis sativa l. was developed in the present study. agrobacterium rhizogenes mediated transformation performed by two different co-cultivation mediums...

Background: In vitro model studies are becoming increasingly popular for experimental research designs. They include isolation and expansion of cells of a particular tissue, such as the nervous tissue which contributes to understanding the underlying mechanisms in many pathologies. It enables  the scrutinization of intracellular signaling pathways responsible for cell death. OBJECTIVES: In the ...

The reference to ethnicity in the 2012 National Suicide Prevention Strategy for England (1) is mainly with regard to promoting mental health in Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) groups. However, there is little detailed information about any specific strategy to reduce suicide rates in BME groups. The Suicide Prevention Strategy and Action Plan for Northern Ireland has only one brief reference re...

Twitter has become the de facto information sharing and communication platform. Given the factors that influence language on Twitter – size limitation as well as communication and content-sharing mechanisms – there is a continuing debate about the position of Twitter’s language in the spectrum of language on various established mediums. These include SMS and chat on the one hand (size limitatio...

Heterogeneous and hybrid smart grid communication network is comprised of different communication mediums and technologies. Performance evaluation is one of the main concerns for smart grid communication system. In any smart grid communication implementation, to determine the performance factor of the network, a testing of an end-to-end process flow is required. An effective and coordinated tes...

Several issues relating to oppositely directed phase velocity and power flow are reviewed. A necessary condition for the occurrence of this phenomenon in isotropic dielectric–magnetic mediums is presented. Ramifications for aberration–free lenses, homogenization approaches, and complex mediums are discussed.

CONTEXT Investigating the information reported by mediums is ultimately important in determining the relationship between brain and consciousness in addition to being of deep concern to the public. OBJECTIVE This triple-blind study was designed to examine the anomalous reception of information about deceased individuals by research mediums under experimental conditions that eliminate conventi...
