Jedan je od osnivača filozofijske prakse, Pierre Hadot, odredio takvu praksu kao duhovnu vježbu učenja kako pisati, čitati, živjeti i umrijeti. U ovom se radu želim usmjeriti na umiranje. Kako filozofirati o smrti? Pristupit ću pitanju sa stajališta filozofijskog savjetnika koji s tim pitanjem susreće tijekom savjetovanja dat nekoliko primjera takvog savjetovanja. Približit temi u skladu drevno...

OBJECTIVE To examine the attitudes of Iranian nurses toward caring for dying patients. METHODS Nurses' attitudes toward death and caring for dying patients were examined by using two types of questionnaires: the Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R) and Frommelt's Attitude towards Caring for Dying Patients (FATCOD), both with a demographic survey. RESULTS The results showed that most respo...

Science serves its readers as a forum for the presentation and discussion of important issues related to the advancement of science, including the presentation of minority or conflicting points of view, rather than by publishing only material on which a consensus has been reached. Accordingly, all articles published in Science-including editorials, news and comment, and book reviews -are signed...

complex: the low intrinsic protease activity of the pro-caspase is then sufficient to trigger intermolecular cleav-age and subsequent activation. Formation of such pro-44 Lincoln's Inn Fields London WC2A 3PX caspase complexes is mediated by the prodomains of the apical caspases that interact with adaptor molecules United Kingdom to form the " apoptosome. " The adaptor molecules serve as protein...

If p = 1 then the resulting tree is the Fibonacci tree. It can easily be verified that the number of A’s in the n-th layer equals the n-th Fibonacci number Fn and the number of B’s equals Fn−1. Let An and Bn denote the number of A’s and B’s, respectively, in the first n layers of the tree. Then we have An An + Bn = ∑n i=1 Fi ∑n+1 i=2 Fi = 1 − Fn+1 − F1 ∑n+1 i=2 Fi Using the well known represent...

ristina Hidalgo Carcedo, Alberto Luini, Daniela Corda, and colleagues (Consorzio Mario Negri Sud, Santa Maria Imbaro, Italy) suggest that Golgi membranes are chopped up by a protein called BARS before mitosis can occur. Their cell culture studies contrast, however, with results from genetic knock-out experiments. BARS is closely related to the CtBP family of transcriptional repressors needed fo...

MOST SCIENTISTS ARE DEVOTED TO THEIR WORK AND ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE POTENTIAL benefits their research brings to society. But are they and their families prepared to die for their work? Should this even be a consideration when these individuals are working under carefully legislated and legal research conditions? For 13 University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), researchers, some of whom wo...

A cell resting on the extracellular matrix (ECM) doesn't just sit there like a football fan in a La-Z-Boy. It develops a deep connection with its substrate. Contact between matrix proteins and integrin receptors in the membrane adjusts the cell's cytoskeleton and shape (Haimovich, et al., 1993), galvanizes survival-promoting pathways, and causes numerous other changes. A 1992 paper by Keith Bur...

• Despite the relevant information that postmortem examinations can provide, autopsy rates have been declining worldwide in the last few decades. • Autopsies are especially necessary in low-income countries, where reliable information on cause of death is much more limited and in vivo clinical diagnosis is hampered by the scarce availability of diagnostic tools. • The use of the autopsy or of r...
