Bacteriology Series (part 10) = Gram Indeterminate Bacteria

With the ever-growing technology, people's needs and expectations in both the real and virtual worlds are changing rapidly over time. Metaverse, which has recently entered our lives, is predicted to be a central concept in the health sector, as it is in many other sectors. Many tools, such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and digital applications, are already being used in the health sector. By ensuring synchronization with Metaverse in the coming years, it will be possible to create an adaptable platform in all health services using this framework. The aim of this study is to share information in the form of a compilation about the benefits of Metaverse applications in the field of health by referring to Metaverse’ conceptual information.

In the post-1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran conducted isolationist foreign policy with an anti-imperial discourse. By the Iran-Iraq War, Iran transformed its isolationist foreign policy to a multilateral one. Changes in the balance of power, due to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, re-triggered ideology-oriented foreign policy in Iran It seems that the conflictual discourse in Iran's foreign policy has been decreasing during the President Rouhani era, however, the ideology-and identity-oriented foreign policy has been continuing. Iran's foreign policy towards Syria has been shaped by the following dynamics, such as national security, Shia Crescent, geopolitics and regional balance of power, and also demonstrated the dynamics beyond the materialist components in Iran's foreign policy. Özet 1979 İslam Devrimden sonra emperyalizm karşısında, ideoloji eksenli bir dış politika güdülmüş, İran-Irak savaşı sonrasındaki değişimlerle Tahran yalnızlaşma politikasını çok yönlü bir dış politikaya dönüştürmüştür. 11 Eylül terör saldırılarıyla değişen güç dengesi de ideoloji eksenli dış politikayı yeniden tetiklemiştir. 11 Eylül öncesi İran dış politikasında hâkim olan diyalog söylemleri, yerini ideoloji ve kimlik eksenli çatışmacı bir dış politikaya bırakmıştır. Bu çatışmacı söylem Ruhani döneminde azalsa da ideoloji ve kimlik eksenli dış politika devam etmektedir. İran'ın Suriye politikası, ulusal güvenlik, Şii Hilali, jeopolitik ve bölgesel güç dinamikleriyle şekillenmekte, İran dış politikasındaki materyalist unsurlardan farklı dinamikleri de göstermektedir.

This essay explores depictions and descriptions of bodily excretion in light of theories of creativity and artistic practices. References to physical effluxes and excretions by early seventeenth-century Northern painters, I argue, pursue sixteenth-century concepts which connect lower body parts and physical activities to visual perception and human production. The visual arts were inclined to reflect on such ideas not only because of ubiquitous metaphors comparing the absorption of intellectual matter and their subsequent mental digestion to the conversion of food, but also because waste products had a fundamental role in artist's workshops. The dual quality of excrements as indecent waste and as fertilising manure was predestined to mirror concepts of imitation, and lead to a reconsideration of the general relation of artworks to the products of nature.

This is the complete essay - included as an appendix to Edouard d'Araille's translation of the 'Adapa' myth - in which the translator of that work of poetry provides a step-by-step exegesis of the processes through which it was created. It explores the discovery, the research, the narrative theory and the choice of words involved in the production of this English language version of what is perhaps one of the shortest epics in ancient literature. The task of composition is described from many different aspects so that the complexity of the task of even considering to render the cuneiform fragments into a continuous story - which synthesises all available tablets - is understood to be more a task of interpretation and artistry than one of science and history. Edouard d'Araille describes how he first discovered the myth, what lengths he went to in his research and what he has hoped to achieve through producing a version that brings together all the existing tablet fragments (recounting the 'Adapa' legend) into one unified narrative whole. To do this, he break downs 'Adapa's Ascent' into its components and explains the interpretations that have been made of the material in every individual section, allowing for significant manoeuvre in alternative readings. In the concluding stages of this essay, he discusses other specific challenges that were faced in creating a work of poetry while attempting to do justice to the variable hermeneutical stances of the academic community to the sources. The complete poem 'Adapa's Ascent' is available to download from this Academia.edu page by kind courtesy of Living Time™ Books.

We analyze 483 entry and 439 exit events of publicly traded real estate investment trusts (REITs) and find that changes in the number of REITs in the market affect rival REITs’ stock performance. We also partition the sample by the modes of entries and exits as well as by REIT asset type in order to disentangle alternative explanations. Overall, our evidence indicates that the supply effect still matters for stock prices even after considering signaling and price pressure explanations.

O testamento vital viva representa uma expressão da autonomia atual do sujeito, que se pretende que seja efetiva em um momento futuro. Pressupõe uma certa idéia da disponibilidade da vida e da saúde pessoal. Como tal, exige a mais rigorosa consideração dos requisitos de capacidade que denotam a capacidade do sujeito. É um instrumento indicativo da vontade do paciente de natureza não determinante, que deve ser combinada com outras indicações, entendendo-se que a vontade presente do sujeito, mesmo que seja uma vontade tácita, deve prevalecer sobre a vontade expressa no passado. A nomeação de representantes no documento pode ser útil na medida em que ajuda a delimitar o significado preciso da vontade individual, dada a impossibilidade de prever antecipadamente todas as nuances do caso. Propomos que o controle da legalidade do conteúdo do documento seja efetuado a posteriori, no momento da sua execução, e não no momento da sua assinatura.

El viaje, en tanto desplazamiento espacial, temporal o mental, ha sido un tópico literario en la narrativa universal. Estudiado en diversas épocas, la “literatura de viajes” ha ido mutando hasta intentar constituirse en un subgénero literario tanto en la literatura europea como en la americana, pero aún es ignorado el tratamiento de este tópico en numerosas literaturas asiáticas. Por tal motivo, en este trabajo trataremos de aportar una aproximación sobre este tópico en una particular cultura como lo es la japonesa. Así pues, plantearemos el viaje como uno de los puntos obturadores en los mitos cosmogónicos japoneses que se encuentran recopilados en el Kōjiki y en el Nihonshoki. Focalizados en el primer ciclo mitológico de Yamato, protagonizado por la pareja primordial Izanagi-Izanami, develaremos el desplazamiento bajo dos aspectos: el viaje-creador-de-vida y el viaje-generador-de-muerte. En ambos tipos de viajes será el concepto de belleza el eslabón conector y detonante de los mi...
