This paper is focused on the analysis of two documents (the Council of Europe's Bioethics Convention and the Additional Cloning Protocol) inasmuch as they refer to the relationship between human dignity and human genetic engineering. After presenting the stipulations of the abovementioned documents, I will review various proposed meanings of human dignity and will try to identify which of these se
The paper explores the ethics of post-menopausal motherhood by looking at the case of Adriana Iliescu, the oldest woman ever to have given birth (so far). To this end, I will approach the three most common objections brought against the mother and/or against the team of healthcare professionals who made it happen: the age of the mother, the fact that she is single, the appropriateness of her motiv

In the past few decades, there has been a global trend of international harmonization of accounting standards, with many countries having either partially or completely replaced their national accounting standards with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The intended goal is to remove the barriers that hinder investors when comparing accounting information of companies from dif
Both studies on animals and humans have demonstrated the role of inflammatory mediators on the retinopathy process.2,3 Dexamethasone is a glucocorticoid with a known reductive effect on several of these mediators and on the expression of VEGF.4Starting in 2016, infants receiving laser ablation for type 1 ROP at Skåne University Hospital were administered dexamethasone eye-drops postoperatively, us
Prostate cancer bone metastasis is still not fully understood, and increased knowledge could aid in the development of better treatment options for patients in the future. This thesis focuses on microRNAs (miRNAs), which modulate gene expression in healthy and tumour cells. Using cell culture, animal and patient studies, we investigated the biological role of microRNA-96 (miR-96) and microRNA-379
The book comprises three parts: (1) a general presentation and analysis of the main relevant concepts: bioethics, human genetic engineering, eugenics, disability and, particularly, of the relations between these; (2) the analysis of two documents of the Council of Europe (the so called “Bioethics Convention” and its first protocol), and the reconstruction of the debates surrounding their primary c
Über sociale Differenzierung ist Georg Simmels erstes hauptsächlich der Soziologie gewidmetes Werk. Das Buch stellt Simmels Grundlegung der neuen Wissenschaft dar, ihrer Themen, Möglichkeiten, Grenzen, allgemeinen Begriffe und Annahmen. Soziale Differenzierung, Wechselwirkung, Individualisierung, Gruppe, Vergesellschaftung und Bewegung sind entscheidende, variable Begriffe dieses zwischen Grundleg
A heterocyclic chemical compound of formula (1) or (2) or a neutral or acidic salt thereof where the counter ion is LI+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, NH4+ or another pharmacologically acceptable positively charged inorganic or organic ion or any combination thereof. The compound contains B, Si, N, P, S or Se in the ring structure.
Introduction. Underage drinking is associated with poor mental health. Early detection for risky alcohol use is recommended,although less implemented in adolescent care. +e objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of risky alcohol use andpsychiatric comorbidity. Methods. Over a nine-month period, 145 eligible adolescents admitted to the child and adolescentemergency unit in Malmo,
Affective and anxiety diagnoses are common in older people with intellectual disability (ID). The aim was to describe support and social services for older people with ID and affective and/or anxiety diagnoses, also to investigate in this study group the association between support and social services and frailty factors in terms of specialist healthcare utilisation, multimorbidity, polypharmacy,
The aim of this study was to describe the social care provided for different age groups of people with intellectual disability, 55 years or above, and to investigate the association between such care and frailty factors for those with diagnosed level of intellectual disabilities. Descriptive and logistic regression analyses were used. Commonest forms of social care among the 7936 people were Resid
Conjugate addition of lithium methylcyanocuprate to the titlealdehydes proceeded with high diastereoselectivity (d.e. 94%). Methyl lithium 1,2-addition, followed by Swern oxidation of the resultingalcohols, gave benzyl botryodiplodin and benzyl epi-botryodiplodin.Hydrogenolysis of the benzyl groups gave the enantiomeric pairs ofbotryodiplodin 10r and 10s and epi-botryodiplodin (9r and 9s).
1,2-Addition of 3,4-methylenedioxymagnesium bromide to 2-(R) and (S)-benzyloxy-2,5-dihydro-4-furancarboxaldehyde, followed by oxidation, gave the title ketones (3r and 3s). Conjugate addition of the anions of 3,4,5-trimethoxy- and 3,4-methylenedioxybenzaldehyde diphenylthioacetal to 3r and 3s and Raney-nickel desulfurisation, followed by hydrogenolysis under various conditions, gave the title lign
The chiral aldehydes (-)-(2S,5S)- and (-)-(2S,5R)-2-[[[dimethyl( 1,1,2-trimethylpropyl)silyl]oxy]methyl]-5-methoxy-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-carbaldehyde (2 and 4) were synthesized in 60 and 15% yield, respectively, by lithium bromide induced rearrangement of 6-O-silylated methyl 2,3- and 3,4-anhydro-a- and -d-D-hexopyranosides, obtained in two steps from methyl α- and β-D-glucopyranoside.
