Storie di periurbanità dall’Italia del Sud by Mariavaleria Mininni

“…These cases appeared during the latest decade through landscapes planning projects on the provincial scale of Lecce (2001) and on the regional scale of Apulia (2010). In a more specific manner, by exposing the fundamental issues of the new landscape regional plan and its cultural and political value for the protection of common goods, the «peri-urbanity» takes shape through an agro-environmental policy called «the city-country pact», which is based on a territory project and on the re-invention of a landscape.…”

Lacan’s three orders, the graphe complet and music in film: by Zelda Potgieter

“…Two points are argued: 1) that Lacan’s distinction between the three orders - the Real, the Imaginary and the Symbolic - may usefully be understood in musical terms, and, 2) that the two vectors of Lacan’s graphe complet – the vector of speech and the vector of drive – provide meaningful insight into the manner in which the three orders shape filmic musical experience. …”

Carbon Sources for Yeast Growth as a Precondition of Hydrogen Peroxide Induced Hormetic Phenotype by Ruslana Vasylkovska, Natalia Petriv, Halyna Semchyshyn

“…In general, our data indicate that (i) hydrogen peroxide induces hormesis in a concentration-dependent manner; (ii) the effect of hydrogen peroxide on yeast reproductive ability depends on the type of carbon substrate in growth medium; and (iii) metabolic and growth rates as well as catalase activity play an important role in H2O2-induced hormetic response in yeast.…”

Maturation and Emigration of Single-Positive Thymocytes by Xi Xu, Shusong Zhang, Pingping Li, Jin Lu, Qun Xuan, Qing Ge

“…T lymphopoiesis in the thymus was thought to be completed once it reaches the single positive (SP) stage, a stage when T cells are “fully mature” and waiting to be exported at random or follow a “first-in-first-out” manner. Recent evidence, however, has revealed that the newly generated SP thymocytes undergo a multistage maturation program in the thymic medulla. …”

'Woorde in die mond gelê'? Psalmomdigting en die proses van kanonvorming by E. Kloppers

“… In a previous article (HTS 2000/1:192–204) I have examined the process of versifying the Psalter and have questioned the principle of a so-called ‘reproductive’ versification, the lack of a sound hermeneutical approach, the necessity of versifying all 150 psalms — especially in one form and style as metrical psalms that are meant to be sung, and the liturgical function of many of the texts that had been versified in this manner. In this article the origin and history of these views are investigated and are evaluated against the background of the formation of canons on various levels. …”
