Les « leçons d’histoire » revues et corrigées par le théâtre jeunes publics contemporain by Marie Sorel

“…Concerned about freeing itself from the legacy of « educational theatre », didactic and moralising, the authors willingly cultivate a casual, non-educational stance, turning a priori more toward the here-and-now and the mundane rather than toward the past. But history, particularly its painful episodes –the two World Wars, the Holocaust, the Occupation, colonization– appears often, if only by allusion, on the young audience stage. …”

Kwestia ochrony życia ludzkiego - czyli konieczność uznania miłości do człowieka za podstawę szacunku do naturalnego środowiska by Stanisław Biały

“…Because of this, the author comes to the conclusions that among the fundamental tasks that are before the world of today, one must also include the equiping of man with an ecological knowledge (that is: with a determined set of information connected in a causal-consecutive system on the subject of the functioning of the natural environment and the dependences between it and civilization), but above all: with a system of values and their normative equivalents. Only in such a manner can people be instilled with an adequate attitude, understood as a developed feeling of a link with the world of nature and its parts. …”

Sulforaphane ameliorates non-alcoholic steatohepatitis by KLF4-mediated macrophage M2 polarization by Xianghui Huang, Jia Xu, Ye Xu, Bingxin Huangfu, Feng Zhang, Yanzhou Hu, Ruxin Gao, Xinxin Ren, Boyang Zhang, Kunlun Huang, Xiaoyun He

“…Further analysis demonstrated that this SFN-induced macrophage M2-type polarization occurs in a Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4)-dependent manner. In summary, we uncovered a new mechanism of action underlying SFN activity and provide evidence that dietary intervention with SFN might be protective against NASH.…”

Characterization and Pickering emulsifying ability of Adinandra nitida leaf polysaccharides by Yingxuan Zhou, Lu Bai, Sheng Geng, Benguo Liu

“…ANP could also reduce the interfacial tension between medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) and water in a concentration-dependent manner, demonstrating its emulsifying role. When the addition amount (c) ≥ 3 %, ANP could stabilize the O/W-type MCT-based Pickering emulsion gel with an oil-phase volume fraction of 70 %, and c was proportional to mechanical parameters such as gel strength, macroscopic viscosity index, and elastic index.…”
