Ascorbate-glutathione cycle in wheat and rice seedlings under anoxia and subsequent reaeration by V. V. Yemelyanov, E. G. Prikaziuk, V. V. Lastochkin, O. M. Aresheva, T. V. Chirkova

“…Taken together, the inactivation of AGC enzymes was revealed in wheat seedlings during anoxia and subsequent reaeration, which disrupted the effective operation of the cycle and triggered the accumulation of oxidized forms of ascorbate and glutathione. In rice, anoxia led to the maintenance of the activity of AGC enzymes, and reaeration stimulated it, including at the level of gene expression, which ensured the effective operation of AGC.…”

Evidence-informed language: interpretation and impact on intentions to treat – results of an online survey of medical students and specialists in German-speaking countries by Sven Benson, Reinhard Griebenow, Justine Schmidt, Henrik Herrmann

“…However, use of the subjunctive mood (‘could’) resulted in 87.3% correct differentiations. (2) Even with only four types of clinical practice recommendations (positive/negative and strong/weak), interpretation and translation into intention to treat, respectively, showed a heterogeneous picture: while the presentation of a strong clinical recommendation led to largely congruent responses, the interpretation of weak recommendations showed a high variability, with no clear response pattern for intentions to treat. …”

USSR in World War II by M. Yu. Myagkov

“…The signing of the Pact was preceded by the failure in August 1939 of the negotiations between the military mis­sions of Britain, France and the USSR, although Moscow took the Anglo-French-Soviet nego­tiations with all seriousness.The huge losses of the USSR in the summer of 1941 are explained by the following circum­stances: before the war, a large-scale modernization of the Red Army was launched, a gradu­ate of a military school did not have sufficient experience in managing an entrusted unit by June 22, 1941; the Red Army was going to bleed the enemy in border battles, stop it with short counterattacks by covering units, carry out defensive operations, and then strike a de­cisive blow into the depths of the enemy's territory, so the importance of a multi-echeloned long-term defense in 1941 was underestimated by the command of the Red Army and it was not ready for it; significant groupings of the Western Special Military District were drawn into potential salients, which was used by the Germans at the initial stage of the war; Stalin's fear of provoking Hitler to start a war led to slowness in making the most urgent and necessary decisions to bring troops to combat readiness.The Allies delayed the opening of the second front for an unreasonably long time. …”

La tranchée supérieure de l’aqueduc du Gier à Saint-Joseph (Loire) : nouvelles données et synthèse by Kilian Blanc, Guillaume Maza

“…In these, a number of hypotheses had been proposed as to its nature and function, the most commonly accepted being that it represented an early route of the Gier aqueduct which was abandoned because the work involved in developing it in the large valleys that it bypasses would have been too extensive and costly.The 2008 excavation that followed this evaluation, led by Guillaume Maza (Evéha), focused only the upper trench, its immediate surroundings and an ancient ground level section observed to the northeast of it. …”
