Ethno-cultural particularity of English, French and Russian phrasiological units with components of names of domestic animals by E. N. Belaya

“…contains stereotyped representations of arrogant behavior of a person’s senseless activity who poses as the other person than he is in reality; of touch with Scottish realia and literature; 2) the figurative basis of French P.U. contains patterned and stereotyped representations of a person who works by the sweat of his brow, of the interaction of man and a horse, of a bad French, of a drunkard, a silly man who is fond of bombastic speech, of a cruel man; 3) the figurative basis of Russian P.U. contains stereotyped representations of a ridiculously dressed person, a pattern of human obstinacy; of touch with Russian peasant’s way of life. …”

Ensemble automated approaches for producing high‐quality herbarium digital records by Robert P. Guralnick, Raphael LaFrance, Julie M. Allen, Michael W. Denslow

“…Discussion This work shows that an ensemble approach has particular value for creating high‐quality digital data records, even for complicated label content. While human validation is still needed to ensure the best possible quality, automated approaches can speed digitization of herbarium specimen labels and are likely to be broadly usable for all natural history collection types.…”

Quercetin attenuates cisplatin-induced fatigue through mechanisms associated with the regulation of the HPA axis and MCP-1 signaling by Cheng-Hung Chuang, Yu-An Tai, Ting-Jing Wu, Ying-Jui Ho, Shu-Lan Yeh, Shu-Lan Yeh

“…The main objective of the present study was to investigate whether quercetin regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) signaling, two factors contributing to CRF in mice exposed to cisplatin.MethodsMale BALB/c mice were randomly assigned to the following five groups for 15 weeks: Control, CDDP, CDDP+TAK779 (an antagonist of MCP-1 receptor, human CC chemokine receptor R2 (CCR2)), CDDP+OQ (a diet containing 1% quercetin) and CDDP+IQ (quercetin given by ip, 10 mg/kg, 3 times/week).ResultsThe results first showed that OQ and IQ significantly increased grip strength and locomotor activity, decreased plasma cortisol/corticosterone levels, and decreased the corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) mRNA level in the brain tissues in mice exposed to CDDP. …”

Footprint of the COVID-19 Pandemic in India: A Study of Immune Landscape and Other Factors Shielding Mortality by Noura Al-Dayan, Divya Venugopal, Sugapriya Dhanasekaran

“…The genetic architecture of the immune response genes in the Indian population, BCG vaccination, the predominantly young age group of people, and their traditional food habits might contribute to the lower rate of mortality. Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) play a vital role in triggering T cells, and natural killer (NK) cells can immediately react to eliminate infected cells. …”
