Über den »unisonierenden Dualismus« im ersten Satz von Schuberts Streichquartett G-Dur, D. 887 by Sebastian Urmoneit

“…In the development it becomes clear that Schubert, by means of ‘compositional science’ that has been essential to the works of the string quartet genre since Haydn, uses the procedure of a symmetrical division of the octave to expose the danger of losing himself in ‘bad infiniteness’ precisely where he supposedly proceeds in a particularly systematic manner.…”

Distinct dynamic regulation of pectoralis muscle metabolomics by insulin and the promotion of glucose-lipid metabolism with extended duration by Xiangli Zhang, Pengfei Du, Ziyang Wang, Yao Zhu, Xuemeng Si, Wen Chen, Yanqun Huang

“…Metabolomic analysis revealed that insulin promotes the downregulation of 63 out of 71 metabolites at 15 min and the upregulation of 101 out of 134 metabolites at 120 min, mainly associated with lysine degradation and thyroid hormone signaling pathways, respectively. 7 metabolites were dynamically modulated in the same manner over time (2 up-up and 5 down-down). Early insulin inhibited glycolysis, evidenced by the reduction in phosphoenolpyruvate levels and hexokinase 2 (HK2) expression; however, insulin promoted glucose uptake through the activation of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) and enhanced glycolysis, accompanied by elevated fatty acid metabolism at the later phase.In conclusion, insulin dynamically regulates the metabolomics of the pectoralis muscle over time. …”

Probiotic Bacillus pumilus LV149 enhances gut repair, modulates microbiota, and alters transcriptome in DSS-induced colitis mice by Xinyu Sun, Long Yun, Keming Xie, Renhui Liu, Xinyue Ren, Bokun Zeng, Xudong Cao, Zhi Li, Guihao Zhou, Bang Liu, Luo Peng, Lihong Yuan

“…The effects were assessed through physiological parameters, intestinal barrier integrity, inflammation, gut microbiota composition, and transcriptomic changes.ResultsLV149 significantly improved pathological symptoms, including weight loss and disease activity index (DAI), and reduced colon shortening in a dose-dependent manner and inflammatory damage. The intervention also restored gut barrier function by upregulating mucins, goblet cell counts, and tight junction proteins (ZO-1, occludin, and claudin-1) in colonic tissue, along with reducing serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels. …”

Self-representation: A review on Selfie Photos in Social Media According to Goffman's Dramaturgical Theory by Keyhan Valinejad

“…According to Goffman's theory, uploading a selfie photo can be interpreted as a play, in which the subject consciously manipulates his/her characteristics even in a slight manner. Besides this, by masking/unmasking a personality, the person expresses the kind of characteristics that respond to his/her desire to present an ideal image to acquire social acceptance.…”
