Comparative analysis of the psychological content of the «time perspective», «image of the future» and «goal» concepts by Elena V. Mikheeva

“…His results confirmed that by itself the formulation of the desired future in the form of a goal does not provide support for resisting the flow of random events. Whereas the connection of the image of the future makes a person face the need for integration, coordination of the image at all levels of subjective regulation, starting with mental representation and ending with the adequacy of actions.…”

Submerged Groundwater Discharges as Source of Fecal Material in Protected Karstic Coastal Areas by Cristian Kantun Manzano, Flor Arcega-Cabrera, Morgane Derrien, Elsa Noreña-Barroso, Jorge Herrera-Silveira

“…Results demonstrate that (1) submerged groundwater discharge flux velocity and direction vary between hydrological season, exhibiting higher flow rates in Nortes season contrary to dry season and (2) the presence of coprostanol and epicoprostanol (anthropogenic fecal matter markers) in sediments surrounding the submerged groundwater discharges provides proof of allochthonous anthropogenic fecal material in a protected area, probably from remote inland sites. …”

Harpacticoid assemblages (Copepoda: Harpacticoida) in the hyporheic zone of four streams in central Slovenia by Nataša Mori, Anton Brancelj

“…The goal of this study was to investigate distribution patterns of interstitial harpacticoid assemblages from four pre-Alpine streams originating in the Dinaric Karst and flowing into the Ljubljanica River. The sampling was conducted in 2002 at 12 locations distributed at a distance of approximately 1 km along each stream including tributaries, at a depth of 30–60 cm in the wetted channel (three sites per location) and depths from 65 to 160 cm on the stream banks (one site per location) using a Bou-Rouch pump. …”

Porphyromonas gingivalis affects neutrophil pro-inflammatory activities by Agnieszka Zimny, Alicja Płonczyńska, Alicja Płonczyńska, Wiktor Jakubowski, Natalia Zubrzycka, Natalia Zubrzycka, Jan Potempa, Jan Potempa, Maja Sochalska

“…To investigate the impact of gingipains on neutrophil viability and function, we conducted studies using murine HoxB8 neutrophils and primary human neutrophils infected with wild-type strains of Porphyromonas gingivalis (W83 and ATCC 33277), or a gingipains-null mutant with deleted gingipains encoding genes, or wild-type bacteria preincubated with specific gingipain inhibitors. Flow cytometry revealed that wild-type Porphyromonas gingivalis had a marked effect on neutrophil viability regulated by anti-apoptotic proteins belonging to the Bcl-2 family; however, these effects were independent of gingipain expression or activity. …”
