    There is a high prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia that has been linked to high cardiovascular risk in obese individuals and could be attributed to poor nutritional status of folate and vitamin B12. We sought to examine the association between blood homocysteine (Hcy) folate, and vitamin B12 levels and vascular dysfunction in morbidly obese adults using novel ex vivo flow-induced dilation (FID) measurements of isolated adipose tissue arterioles. Brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) was also measured. Subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue biopsies were obtained from morbidly obese individuals and non-obese controls. Resistance arterioles were isolated in which FID, acetylcholine-induced dilation (AChID), and nitric oxide (NO) production were measured in the absence or presence of the NO synthase inhibitor, L-NAME, Hcy, or the superoxide dismutase mimetic, TEMPOL. Our results demonstrated that plasma Hcy concentrations were significantly higher, while folate, vitamin B12, and NO were significantly lower in obese subjects compared to controls. Hcy concentrations correlated positively with BMI, fat %, and insulin levels but not with folate or vitamin B12. Brachial and arteriolar vasodilation were lower in obese subjects, positively correlated with folate and vitamin B12, and inversely correlated with Hcy. Arteriolar NO measurements and sensitivity to L-NAME were lower in obese subjects compared to controls. Finally, Hcy incubation reduced arteriolar FID and NO sensitivity, an effect that was abolished by TEMPOL. In conclusion, these data suggest that high concentrations of plasma Hcy and low concentrations of folate and vitamin B12 could be independent predictors of vascular dysfunction in morbidly obese individuals

    Изучение международного опыта подготовки кадров военнослужащих будет иметь позитивный эффект в любом случае, ведь положительные вариации можно применить на собственном опыте, а отрицательные – исключить из списка возможных для реализации в своей стране. На современном этапе в Ливии подготовка военных кадров проводится в государственных военных училищах определенной направленности (военно-морское, военно-воздушное, военно-сухопутное, военное училище противовоздушной обороны). Исследование опыта мировых стран в области подготовки военных кадров позволит выделить возможные и необходимые пути совершенствования не только самого процесса обучения, но и учета затрат на такую подготовку как важную составляющую реформирования бухгалтерского учета в государственном секторе Ливии в целом. Также международный опыт подготовки кадров военнослужащих позволит выделить положительные изменения и результаты в случае его практического внедрения в Ливии, их влияние на построения патриотичных и современных Вооруженных сил

    Full text link
    Studying International experience in training military personnel will have a positive effect in any case, because positive variations can be applied first hand, and negative ones can be excluded from the list of possible ones for implementation in your country. At the present stage in Libya, the training of military personnel is carried out in state military schools of a specific orientation (naval, air force, military land, military air defense school). The study of the experience of world countries in the field of military training will highlight the possible and necessary ways to improve not only the learning process, but also the accounting for the cost of such training as an important component of accounting reform in the public sector of Libya as a whole. Also, the International experience of training military personnel will highlight the positive changes and results in the case of its practical implementation in Libya, their influence on the construction of patriotic and modern Armed Forces

    Poétique de la langue française chez Remy de Gourmont

    Une poétique interroge une pratique du discours, qui est le langage en fonctionnement situé. Dans cette perspective, nous nous demandons comment l invention par Remy de Gourmont de son langage critique et poétique devient une valeur dans la littérature et la culture françaises. Remy de Gourmont est un sujet critique, qui ne perd jamais de vue sa double condition de Français et symboliste, laquelle n'est jamais une attitude de critique nationaliste ou partisane. Pour l'art comme désintéressement, pour la discussion immédiate ou ultérieure des idées, Remy de Gourmont invente, en faisant avancer la critique, le français et sa littérature; sa méthode dissociative ayant pour principal enjeu de découvrir ou restaurer la valeur de l effort littéraire en démontant les lieux communs et les stéréotypes qui empêchent de le voir. Cette critique nouvelle des idées, qui est chaque fois une invention du discours, est indissociable, dans sa pratique poétique même, d'une attention au symbolisme, et, chaque fois, à la langue. D'où un vers libre original ayant la capacité de faire voir et entendre ce que le poète fait au langage ordinaire, c est-à-dire aux mots de tous les jours. Le poème devient ainsi un poste d observation d une historicité du langage. Il montre notamment un sentiment de la langue française, qui est cette poétique-même, et que Remy de Gourmont a d abord créé, puis travaillé à rendre personnel et individuel, autant que l art symboliste libre qui l inclut dans la généralité des individualités discursives.ST DENIS-BU PARIS8 (930662101) / SudocSudocFranceF

    Socioeconomically Dimensions of the Jurisprudence (FIQH) Problem and Urbanization Conditions in Islamic West between Regular Jurisprudence (FIQH) and the Jurisprudence (FIQH) of the Place

    This study tries to explain the importance of the jurisprudence (FIQH) problem in Islamic society; specially in Western Islamic countries. It will explain the role of the problem on the catastrophic status of urbanization and the reasons behind its relapse. The city of "Talmasan" and the situation of people at that time will be used as a case study. The results will enrich jurisprudence (FIQH) of the place over the regular jurisprudence (FIQH). The analysis is a new approach which does not depend on the approach of quotation of the regular jurist (FQIH) or migrant academician. The aim of the study is trying to identify the Descendents and their role in the enrichment of historical material, despite what is said of the obstacles that contribute to localizing and reviving them and the difficulty of their Fiqh language. This study was based on the heuristic method through textual excavations in the effort referred to by his name. The study used key words like the sciences of language, and the modern critical school such as: the generated text, intertextuality, the working sentence, the starting sentence, the target sentence and discussed its relationship with the descending. The study was divided into main sections namely: the literature of the study and its theoretical framework and the formative field of the Fiqh "history". The study recommended the importance of withdrawing the Fiqh guidelines to their historicity, so that we expand the science of fiqh in its chapter to be a document in the historical record

From this point of view, we wonder how Remy de Gourmont's new critical and poetic language becomes a value in the french literature and culture. Remy de Gourmont, as an original critic, never loses sight of its double French and Symbolist condition, which is never a partisan or a nationalist attitude of criticism. Defending art as disinterestedness, exhibiting the immediate or later discussion of the ideas, Remy de Gourmont creates its dissociating method to put criticism, french and its literature forward. This critical principle has main purpose to discover or restore the value of the literary effort by seeking to reject the "lieux communs" and the "clichés" which cover it up. This new criticism of the ideas, which is always an invention of the discourse, is indissociable, in its poetic practice even, of an attention to the symbolism, and, each time, to the language. Hence, an original "vers libre" (symbolism free verse) having the capacity to make see and hear what the poet made with the ordinary language, that is to say with the usually words. Thus, the poem becomes an observation post of a historicity of the language. It shows in particular a feeling of the french language, which is this poetic-even, and which Remy de Gourmont initially created, then worked to make personal and individual, as much as the free art Symbolist which includes it in the mass of discursive individualities.ST DENIS-BU PARIS8 (930662101) / SudocSudocFranceF

    Tropical countries such as Malaysia experience a high amount of rainfall that can lead to a common type of distress on the roads known as moisture damage. Using waste materials as additives in the asphalt mixture is an innovative measure to improve the quality and strength of the mixture. In this study, 5% of crumb rubber (CR) by the total weight of binder was added to the asphalt mixture in three different sizes of 0.075 mm, 0.15 mm, and 0.3 mm. The wet method was applied to blend the CR with virgin asphalt binder grade 60/70. The aggregate gradation applied in this study was 9.5 Nominal maximum aggregate size. The samples were produced with the Superpave gyratory compactor. Moisture sensitivity (ASSTHO T-283) and indirect tensile strength (ITS) tests were performed to evaluate the impact of the CR sizes on the asphalt mixture. The findings showed that the CR addition improved the strength of the asphalt mixture. Furthermore, there was an increment in the ITS with an increasing size of CR. The addition of 5% CR resulted in a minor reduction of the moisture resistance. Thus, a slight improvement in the moisture resistance was detected with a reduction in CR size. Overall, all asphalt mixtures in this study had TSR of more than 80%, thus passing the moisture damage test requirements
