In this thesis certain important aspects of heavy metal toxicity have been worked out. Recent studies have clearly shown that when experimental media contained more than one heavy metals, such metals could conspicuously influence the toxic reaction of the animals both in terms of quantity and nature. The experimental results available on individual metal toxicity show that, in majority of such results, unrealistically high concentrations of dissolved metals are involved. A remarkable number of factors have been shown to influence metal toxicity such as various environmental factors particularly temperature and salinity, the condition of the organism and the ability of some of the marine organisms to adapt to metallic contamination. Further, some of the more sensitive functions like embryonic and larval development, growth and fecundity, oxygen utilization and the function of various enzymes are found to be demonstrably sensitive in the presence of heavy metals. However, some of the above functions could be compensated for by adaptive process. If it is assumed that the presence of a single metal in higher concentrations could affect the life function of marine animals, more than one metal in the experimental media should manifest such effects in a greater scale. Commonly known as synergism or more than additivity, majority of heavy metals bring about synergistic reaction .The work presented in this thesis comprises lethal and sublethal toxicities of different salt forms of copper and silver on the brown mussel Perna indica. during the present investigation sublethal concentrations of copper and silver in their dent effects on survival, oxygen consumption, filtration, accumulation and depuration on Perna indica. The results are presented under different sections to make the presentation meaningful .

Considering the major role of insulin signaling on fatty acid synthesis via stimulation of lipogenic enzymes, differential effects of insulin signaling on individual carbon fluxes for fatty acid synthesis have been investigated by comparing the individual lipogenic fluxes in WT and IRS-1 knockout (IRS-1 KO) brown adipocytes. Results from experiments on WT and IRS-1 KO cells incubated with [5-¹³C] glutamine were consistent with the existence of reductive carboxylation pathway. Analysis of isotopomer distribution of nine metabolites related to the lipogenic routes from glucose and glutamine in IRS-1 KO cells using [U-¹³C] glutamine as compared to that in WT cells indicated that flux through reductive carboxylation pathway was diminished while flux through conventional TCA cycle was stimulated due to absence of insulin signaling in IRS-1 KO cells. This observation was confirmed by quantitative estimation of individual lipogenic fluxes in IRS-1 KO cells and their comparison with fluxes in WT cells. Thus, these results suggest that glutamine’s substantial contribution to fatty acid synthesis can be directly manipulated by controlling the flux through reductive carboxylation of alpha-ketoglutarate to citrate using hormone (insulin).

Introducción: una de las causas de pobre ganancia visual luego de un tratamiento exitoso de desprendimiento de retina, sin complicaciones, es el daño de los fotoreceptores, reflejada en una disrupción de la capa de la zona elipsoide y membrana limitante externa (MLE). En otras patologías se ha demostrado que la hiperautofluorescencia foveal se correlaciona con la integridad de la zona elipsoide y MLE y una mejor recuperación visual. Objetivos: evaluar la asociación entre la hiperautofluorescencia foveal, la integridad de la capa de la zona elipsoide y recuperación visual luego de desprendimiento de retina regmatógeno (DRR) exitosamente tratado. Evaluar la concordancia inter-evaluador de estos exámenes. Metodología: estudio de corte transversal de autofluorescencia foveal y tomografía óptica coherente macular de dominio espectral en 65 pacientes con DRR evaluados por 3 evaluadores independientes. La concordancia inter-evaluador se estudio mediante Kappa de Cohen y la asociación entre las diferentes variables mediante la prueba chi cuadrado y pruebas Z para comparación de proporciones. Resultados: La concordancia de la autofluorescencia fue razonable y la de la tomografía óptica coherente macular buena a muy buena. Sujetos que presentaron hiperautofluorescencia foveal asociada a integridad de la capa de la zona elipsoide tuvieron 20% más de posibilidad de recuperar agudeza visual final mejor a 20/50 que los que no cumplieron éstas características. Conclusión: Existe una asociación clínicamente importante entre la hiperautofluorescencia foveal, la integridad de la capa de zona elipsoide y la mejor agudeza visual final, sin embargo ésta no fue estadísticamente significativa (p=0.39)

Previous BAC clone analysis of the Platyrrhini owl monkey KIRs have shown an unusual genetic structure in some loci. Therefore, cDNAs encoding KIR molecules from eleven Aotus vociferans monkeys were characterized here; tenputative KIR loci were found, some of which encoded atypical proteins such as KIR4DL and transcripts predicted to encode a D0+D1 configuration (AOTVOKIR2DL1*01v1) which appear to be unique in the Aotus genus. Furthermore, alternative splicing was found as a likely mechanism for producing activator receptors in A. vociferans species. KIR proteins from New World monkeys may be split into three new lineages according to domain by domain phylogenetic analysis. Although the A. vociferans KIR family displayed a high divergence among paralogous genes, individual loci were limited in their genetic polymorphism. Selection analysis showed that both constrained and rapid evolution may operate within the AvKIR family. The frequent alternative splicing (as a likely mechanism generating activator receptors), the presence of KIR4DL and KIR2DL1 (D0+D1) molecules and other data reported here suggest that the KIR family in Aotus has had a rapid evolution, independent from its Catarrhini counterparts.from its Catarrhini counterparts.

Esta monografía busca explicar cómo han incidido el contexto internacional y las relaciones transnacionales en el movimiento feminista de Marruecos. De este modo, este estudio defiende que las Conferencias Mundiales sobre la Mujer de la ONU crearon una estructura de oportunidad política que favoreció el surgimiento y el desarrollo de este movimiento. Asimismo, dicho contexto construyó un espacio para que las activistas feministas marroquíes crearan y se insertaran en Redes de Defensa Transnacional, las cuales contribuyeron a cambiar la condición de la mujer en Marruecos, a través de reformas a los Códigos de Familia y Nacionalidad y el levantamiento de las reservas a la CEDAW. Para esto se hará un estudio interdisciplinario haciendo uso de la teoría de los movimientos sociales y del activismo transnacional. Igualmente, se utilizará una metodología cualitativa, principalmente a través de las herramientas del análisis de contenido y el trabajo de campo de la autora.

El autor hace un detallado recorrido por el mundo de los videojuegos desde los primeros modelos hasta la actualidad para darnos a conocer, entre otros, los videojuegos narrativos. Siendo la repetición una de las características típicas de los videojuegos, es através de ella que los niños pueden aprender bien en sentido positivo: superación del fracaso, perseverancia, etcétera; bien en sentido negativo: sexismo, capitalismo ambicioso, etcétera.
