I antropologiska studier av islamisk bön har den vädjande, åkallande och relativt informella du?a-bönen ägnats markant mindre uppmärksamhet än salat dhikr. Denna artikel bidrar till studiet muslimsk fromhet genom en analys hur ideal praktik rörande privat du?a kan konstituera ett annorlunda bedjande subjekt jämfört med de praktiker som kopplas salat. Artikeln analyserar två föreläsningar danska...

Introduction: The in situ immune response in skin biopsies from patients affected by autoimmune skin blistering diseases (ABD) is not well characterized. Aim: Our investigation attempts to immunophenotype cells in lesional skin in several ABD, utilizing immunohistochemistry (ICH). Methods: We tested by IHC for CD4, CD8, CD19, CD20, CD45, CD56/NCAM, PAX-5, granzyme B, myeloperoxidase, neutrophil...

A fragment of type theory with OWL class constructions for types and binary properties is used to formalize SysML Structural Block Diagram models. A structural SysML block diagram model is a model that does not have behavior in the sense that values of properties do not change. A structural model may include properties, variables and operations. Individuals are a special case of operators with ...

Rapid advances in networking technologies and the explosive growth of the Internet in recent years have increasingly raised the heterogeneity issue (in end-users processing capabilities and access bandwidth) for transmission of visual information. The traditional approach of providing multiple bitstreams, each tailored for one class of decoding requirements to address the heterogeneity issue is...

Aim: Formulation of aceclofenac (ACE) into liposomal gel, improving its skin permeation and potentiate its local anti-inflammatory effect. Methodology: ACE liposomes were fabricated by lipid film hydration technique. The prepared formulations were traditional liposomes containing cholesterol (F1), ultra-deformable liposomes containing Tween 60 (F2) and modified liposomes containing both cholest...

Humanity has received divine guidance through two channels: the word of Allah and the prophets who were chosen by Him to communicate His will to humanity These channels have always functioned together, and if one is ignored or neglected, the will of Allah cannot be known with any degree of accuracy. The Hindus neglected their prophets and focused all of their attention on their books, which pro...

BACKGROUND Pelvis and trunk motions during baseball pitching are associated with ball velocity. Thus, limits in hip flexibility may adversely affect pitching biomechanics and the ability to generate ball velocity. HYPOTHESES Professional baseball pitchers will have less passive range of motion in the nondominant hip and the measured ranges of motion of both the nondominant and dominant hips w...

The actin-binding protein αE-catenin may contribute to transitions between cell migration and cell-cell adhesion that depend on remodeling the actin cytoskeleton, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. We show that the αE-catenin actin-binding domain (ABD) binds cooperatively to individual actin filaments and that binding is accompanied by a conformational change in the actin protomer that ...
