BACKGROUND: Obesity rates have nearly tripled in the past 50 years, and by 2030 more than 1 billion individuals worldwide are projected to be obese. This creates a significant economic strain due to the associated non-communicable diseases. The root cause is an energy expenditure imbalance, owing to an interplay of lifestyle, environmental, and genetic factors. Obesity has a polygenic genetic arch
Background: Over the past years, it has become clear that the microbial ecosystem in the gut has a profound capacity to interact with the host through the production of a wide range of bioactive metabolites. The microbially produced metabolite imidazole propionate (ImP) is clinically and mechanistically linked with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, but it is unclear how ImP is associated wit
A highly active zinc glutarate-double metal cyanide (DMC) composite catalyst (ZnGA/Zn-CrDMC) was designed for the carbon dioxide (CO2) and propylene oxide (PO) copolymerization reaction. The composite catalyst was synthesized in a rheological phase reaction and characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SE
Sagem Défense et Sécurité (now Safran Electronics & Defense), a French space and defense company of the SAFRAN group, is working on the next generation of Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). This UAS features a fully automatic Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) equipped with a state-of-the-art navigation system. This navigation system relies mainly on a high-accuracy Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) coupl
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to provide an understanding of how consumer-brand relationships are affected by a radical rebranding strategy of a football club’s logo. This further leads the paper to contribute to the literature of consumer-brand relationships in the special context of football. Methodology: The interpretative nature of this research calls for a qualitative research appro
More than 12,000 South Korean doctors have gone on strike in a months-long protest against medical reforms. It may be the wrong position to take, but the government has much to account for too, say Erik Mobrand from Seoul National University and Hyejin Kim from National University of Singapore.

Background: Type 2 diabetes often displays hyperlipidemia. We examined palmitate effects on pancreatic islet function in relation to FFA receptor GPR40, NO generation, insulin release, and the PPARgama agonistic thiazolidinedione, rosiglitazone. Principal findings: Rosiglitazone suppressed acute palmitate-stimulated GPR40-transduced PI hydrolysis in HEK293 cells and insulin release from MIN6c cell

Age-related decline in cardiac function can be prevented or postponed by lifelong endurance training. However, effects of normal ageing as well as of lifelong endurance exercise on longitudinal and radial contribution to stroke volume are unknown. The aim of this study was to determine resting longitudinal and radial pumping in elderly athletes, sedentary elderly and young sedentary subjects. Furt
9/11 2001 changed the world forever. A new era of war was introduced to the world through the Bush administration’s “War on Terror”. With this war, President Bush aimed high when he expressed his goal with the war which was, get rid of all terrorists in the world. A pretty ambitions goal one might think, but he got right down to business and created a high-risc detention center at the naval base G
The purpose of my article is to highlight the development and activities of the Catholic traditionalist minority groups and discuss their importance in today’s Catholic Church. The traditionalist movement started as a reaction to the reforms implemented as a result of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), which for many conservative-minded Catholics appeared as a departure from Catholic faith an
