Resolving the Two “Bony” Faces of PPAR-γ by Beata Lecka-Czernik, Larry J. Suva

“…In vivo, increased PPAR-γ activity leads to bone loss, similar to the bone loss observed with aging, whereas decreased PPAR-γ activity results in increased bone mass. Emerging evidence suggests that the pro-adipocytic and the anti-osteoblastic properties of PPAR-γ are ligand-selective, suggesting the existence of multiple mechanisms by which PPAR-γ controls bone mass and fat mass in bone.…”

Geomorphological Observations and Physical Hypotheses About Martian Dune Gullies by Adriano Nardi, Antonio Piersanti

“…Thus, dune gullies could originate from meteorological liquids, but through a process unlike those known on Earth. Evidence from the Kaiser, Russell, and Korolev Craters supports the possibility of a partial water cycle (a half-cycle), potentially the remnant of a complete ancient cycle.…”

Multimodalität in den Relationen zwischen Sprache und Emojis auf Facebook-Profilen polnischer Universitäten by Anna Kapuścińska

“…Its results indicate that the most frequent functions of emojis in such postings are structuring, commentary / evaluation and relationship design, whereas the analysed material does not provide any evidence for ludic function. Regardless of their specific functions, the mere presence of emojis in the majority of postings on university profiles may be also perceived from a broader perspective as a consequence of the compromise between the so far rather distant style of communication employed by universities and their social media presence.…”

Amendments to the Serbian Law on Prohibition of Discrimination: A step forward? by Rašević Živorad, Vlajnić Jelena

“…The results of the research indicate positive prospects, mainly due to the specifying of provisions, the expansion of the scope of antidiscrimination law and the authority of the Commissioner for the protection of equality, the clarification of the concepts of discrimination and affirmative action, the tightening of penal policy, and the recognition of statistical records as evidence. However, the realisation of these positive effects seems dubious, because the opportunity to concretize concepts of the binding anti-discrimination law of the Council of Europe and the Constitution of Serbia was missed.…”
