Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune-inflammatory CNS disease affecting spinal cord and optic nerves, mediated by autoantibodies against aquaporin-4 (AQP4) and myelin-oligodendrocyte-glycoprotein (MOG). Effects of those immunoglobulins (Ig) on retina and optic nerve are incompletely understood. We investigated AQP4-IgG and MOG-IgG sera on retina and optic nerve ex vivo a
The main use of splenic fine needle aspirations (FNAs) is to diagnose primary tumors or tumorlike lesions including metastases and to assess splenic involvement of some hematopathological disorders. This chapter deals with disorders likely to be encountered in FNAs from the spleen in everyday practice.
In patch testing, a standardized manner of testing and of patch test reading is essential. In this chapter, the basic aspects of these issues are discussed, as well as thoughts on when patch testing should be probably, with what to patch test, especially considering the baseline series, and pitfalls when patch test reading.
Early cathedrals in Lund and DalbyThe aim of the article is to present and critically re-evaluate the written end material sources concerning the early cathedrals of Lund and Dalby in Scania, former medieval Denmark and now part of Sweden. The main questions are where and when did exist cathedrals in Scania in the 11th Century, how were their architecture, how can they be dated, and why were there
Was bedeutet es als Christ in einer Gesellschaft nicht zur Mehrheit zu gehören? Welche Aufgaben erwachsen hieraus, und wie gewinnt das Christentum seine gesellschaftliche Stimme? Eingeleitet und herausgegeben von Esther-Maria Guggenmos zeigen Beiträge von Alumni des KAAD durch Fallstudien aus Kenia, Vietnam, Thailand, Georgien, China, den Philippinen, dem Iran und zu den indigenen Völkern, welche
Nominal classification is a robust feature in many Amazonian languages, and aspects of these systems offer significant challenges to our broader conception of the phenomenon. Yet a clear characterization of Amazonian classification systems must be firmly grounded in detailed descriptive analysis on one hand, and in a principled definition of classification as a typological category on the other –
Not all spatial adjuncts behave alike. In some languages, certain spatial adjuncts display different marking or different combinatorial possibilities than others. Recent functional-typological studies make two claims about this differential place marking phenomenon: (1) it is primarily motivated by noun semantics, opposing place names and other nouns; and (2) it is primarily realized as a contrast
Levinson (2003) provides evidence that distinct cultures display distinct spatial references that, as a consequence, impacts the linguistic encoding of spatial notions. This linguistic variation has fostered the interest of understanding the spatial domains responsible for the linguistic encoding of spatial information. According to Levinson and Wilkins (2006, p. 2), these domains consist in: the
Abstract in Portuguese:Referências a paisagens e lugares são elementos centrais nas narrativas tradicionais de falantes da língua Dâw (Naduhup,Amazônia brasileira). Essa ênfase na referência espacial é estabelecida principalmente por meio de orações adverbiaislocativas que são frequentemente repetidas ao longo do discurso. Sua função é relacionar um evento a um lugar, estabelecerreferência à inforReferences to landscape and places are central in traditional narratives by speakers of Dâw (Naduhup, Brazilian Amazon). This emphasis on spatial reference is primarily established through locative adverbial clauses that are often repeated throughout the discourse. Their function is to relate an event to a place, establish reference to locative information mentioned earlier in discourse, and provi
Abstract på portugisiska As línguas diferem umas das outras em relação a se, e, como, elas categorizam nomes a partir de critérios lexicais e gramaticais específicos. Um exemplo bastante estudado é a distinção entre nomes contáveis e massivos, que divide os nomes de acordo com sua capacidade de serem contados ou medidos. Comparações entre as línguas sobre esse sistema de categorização nominal mostLanguages differ with respect to if and how they categorize their nouns based on specific lexical or grammatical criteria. A well-studied example is the mass/count distinction, which groups nouns according to their ability to be counted or measured. Cross-linguistic comparison on this noun-categorization system provided evidence that the mass/count distinction is not a reflection of pre-linguistic
Complex predication is understood to be a highly productive processin Northwestern Amazonian languages in which complex predicates may berealized as compounds, verb-auxiliary constructions or serial verb constructions depending on language-internal criteria. These constructions play an important role in the organization of discourse and information packaging and can also carry out grammatical func
Research concerning endangered languages has evolved from research on such languages, to research for their speaker communities, and more recently to research with speakers of endangered languages (Grinevald & Bert 2011:62). Such collaborations between communities and linguists are by now considered best practice and an idealized goal (Leonard & Haynes 2010) to foster more equitable relati
We present the discovery of two small planets transiting HD 93963A (TOI-1797), a GOV star (M* = 1.109 ± 0.043M⊙, R* = 1.043 ± 0.009 R⊙) in a visual binary system. We combined TESS and CHEOPS space-borne photometry with MuSCAT 2 ground-based photometry, ‘Alopeke and PHARO high-resolution imaging, TRES and FIES reconnaissance spectroscopy, and SOPHIE radial velocity measurements. We validated an
