Jesaja 40:1-2 - Suiwer evangelie!

Isaiah 40:1-2 - Pure gospel!This article endeavours to analize Isaiah 40:1-2 in such a way that ministers who are experiencing difficulties in preaching the Old Testament might find in it some guidelines on a workable way in which sections of the Old Testament could be analized with the purpose of making a sermon about it. The method employed consists of four steps, namely a general orientation, a synchronic analysis, a diachronic analysis and a reception-critical analysis. The results show that Isaiah 40:1-2 is pure gospel! It speaks in no way less than the New Testament about God’s redemption of the sinner through his grace alone

'n Eksegese van Jeremia 7:1 — 15

Jeremia 7 :1 -1 5 is a judgment prophecy in the style of a court verdict. Each of the five subdivisions is functional: The introduction underlines the divine authority of the judgment; the part between the introduction and the charge states the 'Law' by which the nation's transgressions would be tried; the charge stipulates the nature and gravity of the transgressions; the part between the charge and the sentence quotes a previous 'case' and the sentence stipulates that the punishment will be the same as the punishment executed against Shilo: the temple will be destroyed, and the inhabitants of Judah will be rejected

Die funksie van die skeppingstradisie in die boek Jeremia

The function of the tradition of creation in JeremiahThe purpose of this article is, firstly, to summarise Da Silva’s doctoral thesis, entitled. The function of the tradition of creation in Jeremiah’ and, secondly, to discuss the relevance of the conclusions reached in it. His examination of twelve pericopes from Jeremiah, referring to Israel’s tradition of creation, results in six conclusions. The issues on which they bear relevance are theology in general, the Christian’s faith, and the Christian’s testimony towards non-christians and regarding the ecological movement

An alternative order parameter for the 4-state Potts model

We have investigated the dynamic critical behavior of the two-dimensional 4-state Potts model using an alternative order parameter first used by Vanderzande [J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. \textbf{20}, L549 (1987)] in the study of the Z(5) model. We have estimated the global persistence exponent $\theta_g$ by following the time evolution of the probability $P(t)$ that the considered order parameter does not change its sign up to time $t$. We have also obtained the critical exponents $\theta$, $z$, $\nu$, and $\beta$ using this alternative definition of the order parameter and our results are in complete agreement with available values found in literature.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure

Partial Recovery Of Erythrocyte Glycogen In Diabetic Rats Treated With Phenobarbital

Erythrocytes may play a role in glucose homeostasis during the postprandial period. Erythrocytes from diabetic patients are defective in glucose transport and metabolism, functions that may affect glycogen storage. Phenobarbital, a hepatic enzyme inducer, has been used in the treatment of patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), increasing the insulin-mediated glucose disposal. We studied the effects of phenobarbital treatment in vivo on glycemia and erythrocyte glycogen content in control and alloxan-diabetic rats during the postprandial period. In control rats (blood glucose, 73 to 111 mg/dl in femoral and suprahepatic veins) the erythrocyte glycogen content was 45.4 ± 1.1 and 39.1 ± 0.8 μg/g Hb (mean ± SEM, N = 4-6) in the femoral artery and vein, respectively, and 37.9 ± 1.1 in the portal vein and 47.5 ± 0.9 in the suprahepatic vein. Diabetic rats (blood glucose, 300-350 mg/dl) presented low (P < 0.05) erythrocyte glycogen content, i.e., 9.6 ± 0.1 and 7.1 ± 0.7 μg/g Hb in the femoral artery and vein, respectively, and 10.0 ± 0.7 and 10.7 ± 0.5 in the portal and suprahepatic veins, respectively. After 10 days of treatment, phenobarbital (0.5 mg/ml in the drinking water) did not change blood glucose or erythrocyte glycogen content in control rats. In diabetic rats, however, it lowered (P < 0.05) blood glucose in the femoral artery (from 305 ± 18 to 204 ± 45 mg/dl) and femoral vein (from 300 ± 11 to 174 ± 48 mg/dl) and suprahepatic vein (from 350 ± 10 to 174 ± 42 mg/dl), but the reduction was not sufficient for complete recovery. Phenobarbital also stimulated the glycogen synthesis, leading to a partial recovery of glycogen stores in erythrocytes. In treated rats, erythrocyte glycogen content increased to 20.7 ± 3.8 μg/g Hb in the femoral artery and 30.9 ± 0.9 μg/g Hb in the suprahepatic vein (P < 0.05). These data indicate that phenobarbital activated some of the insulin-stimulated glucose metabolism steps which were depressed in diabetic erythrocytes, supporting the view that erythrocytes participate in glucose homeostasis.305657661Burant, C.F., Sivitz, W.I., Fukumoto, H., Kayano, T., Nagamatsu, S., Seino, S., Pessin, J.E., Bell, G.I., Mammalian glucose transporters: Structure and molecular regulation (1991) Recent Progress in Hormone Research, 47, pp. 1-41Zoccoli, M.A., Boldwin, S.A., Lienhard, G.E., Monosaccharide transport system of the human erythrocyte (1978) Journal of Biological Chemistry, 253, pp. 69213-69230Rapoport, S., The regulation of glycolysis in mammalian erythrocytes (1968) Essays in Biochemistry, 4, pp. 69-103Jacquez, J.A., Red blood cell as glucose carrier: Significance for placental and cerebral glucose transfer (1984) American Journal of Physiology, 246, pp. 289-298Ferranini, E., Bjorkman, O., Role of red blood cells in the regulation of blood glucose levels in man (1986) Diabetes, 35 (1 SUPPL.), p. 39. , AbstractGuarner, V., Alvarez-Buylla, R., Erythrocyte and glucose homeostasis in rats (1989) Diabetes, 38, pp. 410-415Hers, H.G., Verhue, W., Van Hoof, F., The determination of amylo-1,6-glucosidase (1967) European Journal of Biochemistry, 2, pp. 256-264Moses, S.W., Bashan, N., Gutman, A., Properties of glycogen synthetase in erythrocytes (1972) European Journal of Biochemistry, 30, pp. 205-210Garvey, W.T., Hueckstedt, T.P., Olefsky, J.M., Glucose and insulin co-regulate the glucose transport system in primary cultured adipocytes.

Electron Spin Resonance G Shift In Gd5 Si4, Gd5 Ge4, And Gd5.09 Ge2.03 Si1.88

Gd5 Si4, Gd5 Ge4, and Gd5.09 Ge2.03 Si1.88 compounds were studied by electron spin resonance. The arc-melted samples were initially characterized by optical metallography, x-ray diffraction, and static magnetization measurements. The electron spin resonance results show a negative paramagnetic g shift for Gd5 Si4 and Gd5.09 Ge2.03 Si1.88, and a smaller positive one for Gd5 Ge4. The values of the exchange parameter (j) between the localized Gd-4f spins and the conduction electrons are obtained from the g shifts. These values are positive and of the same order of magnitude for Gd5 Si4 and Gd5.09 Ge2.03 Si1.88, and negative one order of magnitude smaller for Gd5 Ge4. The electron spin resonance data were interpreted considering the strongly bottlenecked solution of the coupled Bloch-Hasegawa equations. © 2006 The American Physical Society.7314Pecharsky, V.K., Gschneidner Jr., K.A., (1997) Phys.

Adsortividade do herbicida "Zeta" em solos de variadas texturas

To estimate the herbicide rate which inhibits 50% (I50) of the growth of bioindicator plants in soils of different textures and organic matter levels, which could interfere on the bioactivity of the tested herbicide, a completely randomized experiment was carried out with seven treatments (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 g a.i./ ha) and four replications, in five kinds of soil textures. The analyzed parameters were: total fresh biomass, dry shoot biomass and dry root biomass of the sorghum plants. According to the results, it can be concluded that in sandy soils the herbicide shows a great vertical mobility, and that high levels of AP+ in the soil can minimize the herbicide effect on plants. The experiment also has shown that the higher the level of active clays and of organic matter in the soil, the higher the rate of herbicide required for a given weed control level.Com o objetivo de estimar a dose do herbicida "Zeta" que inibe 50% I50) do crescimento de plantas bioindicadoras em solos com diferentes texturas e teores de matéria orgânica, podendo estes ter uma influência marcante sobre a bioatividade do herbicida testado, utilizou-se o delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado com 7 tratamentos (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 e 300 g i.a./ha) e 4 repetições, sendo os tratamentos dispostos em 5 tipos de texturas de solo. Os parâmetros avaliados foram: biomassa fresca total, biomassa seca da parte aérea e biomassa seca do sistema radicular das plantas de sorgo. De acordo com os resultados obtidos pode-se concluir que em solos com textura tendendo à arenosa o herbicida apresenta uma grande mobilidade vertical, e que altos teores de AP+ no solo podem mascarar, de certa forma, a atuação do herbicida na planta. Em linhas gerais, o experimento permitiu inferir que quanto maior os teores de argilas ativas e de matéria orgânica presentes no solo, maior a dose do herbicida requerida para um dado controle percentual de plantas daninhas

On the consistency of the three-dimensional noncommutative supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory

We study the one-loop quantum corrections to the U(N) noncommutative supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in three spacetime dimensions (NCSYM$_3$). We show that the cancellation of the dangerous UV/IR infrared divergences only takes place in the fundamental representation of the gauge group. Furthermore, in the one-loop approximation, the would be subleading UV and UV/IR infrared divergences are shown to vanish.Comment: 8 pages and 2 figure
