this study aims at using a deductive reasoning to extract several hypotheses from patriarchy, subordination, alienation and perceived relative deprivation theories to establish an empirical association between patriarchy as an independent variable and perceived relative deprivation and alienation of women as a dependent variable. specifically, the study attempts to answer the question: does pat...

Horizontal optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) as well as neuronal response properties in the nucleus of the optic tract and the dorsal terminal nucleus of the accessory optic system (NOT-DTN) were investigated in three monocularly deprived squirrel monkeys. In two monkeys occlusion of one eye was performed at birth (early) and in the third after 7 weeks (late). In adulthood, in early deprived monkeys ...

OBJECTIVE Sleep deprivation is a risk factor for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Recent changes in normal life routines were more common among SIDS victims, compared with control infants. Sleep deprivation can result from handling conditions or from sleep fragmentation attributable to respiratory or digestive conditions, fever, or airway obstructions during sleep. Compared with matched con...

The study objective was to assess endocrine and tIssue responses to feed deprivation in weaned pigs. In experiment 1, eight crossbred castrated male pigs were either fed on a continual basis (CON; n=4) or were feed deprived for 24 h and then re-fed until 30 h (FD; n=4). Relative serum concentrations of ghrelin tended to be lower in FD pigs at 12 h (P=0.08) when compared with CON pigs, but was h...

Behavioral data indicate the existence of sensitive periods in the development of audition and language. Neurophysiological data demonstrate deficits in the cerebral cortex of auditory-deprived animals, mainly in reduced cochleotopy and deficits in corticocortical and corticothalamic loops. In addition to current spread in the cochlea, reduced cochleotopy leads to channel interactions after coc...

Recent human studies reveal a widespread association between short sleep and obesity. Two hypotheses, which are not mutually exclusive, might explain this association. First, genetic factors that reduce endogenous sleep times might also impact energy stores, an assertion that we confirmed in a previous study. Second, metabolism may be altered by chronic partial sleep deprivation. Here we addres...

The relevance of the study is due to lack data on cortical mechanisms regulation carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in body dogs. In this regard, article aimed at revealing issue dogs with various types higher nervous activity under influence short-term food deprivation. It shown that effect deprivation characterized by changes dogs, which are limited state system these animals. intact state, gl...

OBJECTIVES We sought to investigate the effects of sleep loss on high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. BACKGROUND Concentrations of high-sensitivity CRP are predictive of future cardiovascular morbidity. In epidemiologic studies, short sleep duration and sleep complaints have also been associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity. Two studies were undertaken to examine the eff...
