Background and Objective: Leptin is a 16 KDa peptide which has a close correlation with adiposity. However, its effect on lipid profile is controversial in human. Therefore, this study was performed to investigate correlation between variations in serum leptin levels with lipid profile and anthropometric indices in women with different grades of obesity. Materials and Methods: The current cross...

what miller wants is a theatre of heightened consciousness. he speaks of two passions in a man, the passion to "feel" and the passion "know". he belives that we can have more of the latter. he says: drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us know more and not merely to spend our feelings. the writing of the crucible shows us that he is trying to give more heightene...

seismic retrofit strategies have been developed in the past few decades following the introduction of new seismic provisions and the availability of advanced materials and methods. it can be observed that new approaches to deal with more lateral forces are more innovative and more energy absorbent. in line with this, there is a growing trend toward the use of steel shear walls as a system with ...

Background and Objective: Obesity and body fat percentage seem to be associated with respiratory problems, although the mechanism of this correlation is not very clear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 12-week HIIT training on lung function, serum leptin level and lipid profile in inactive obese men. Materials and Methods: Twenty-two inactive obese men aged 18 to 30 y...

Background: Leptin is a peptide strongly correlated with adiposity and is a potential determinant of obesity and its complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between serum leptin levels and different anthropometric indices among obese women.Methods: This analytical descriptive study consisted of 106 women with different grade of obesity (BMI ³ 25 kg/m2) and 38 women ...

in chapter 1, charactrizations of fragmentability, which are obtained by namioka (37), ribarska (45) and kenderov-moors (32), are given. also the connection between fragmentability and its variants and other topics in banach spaces such as analytic space, the radone-nikodym property, differentiability of convex functions, kadec renorming are discussed. in chapter 2, we use game characterization...

this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
