Intelligent learning objects: an agent based approach of learning objects

Many researchers on Intelligent Learning Environments have proposed the use of Artificial Intelligence through architectures based on agents' societies. Teaching systems based on Multi-Agent architectures make possible to support the development of more interactive and adaptable systems. At the same time many people have been working to produce metadata specification towards a construction of Learning Objects in order to improve efficiency efficacy and reusability of learning content based on Object Oriented design paradigm. This paper proposes an agent based approach to produce more intelligent learning objects according to FIPA agent architecture reference model and LOM/IEEE 1484 learning object specification learning objects

Swim training and the genetic expression of adipokines in monosodium glutamate- treated obese rats

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic expression of adipokines in the adipocytes of monosodium glutamate (MSG)-treated obese rats submitted to physical activity. Materials and methods: Obesity was induced by neonatal MSG administration. Exercised rats (MSG and control) were subjected to swim training for 30 min for 10 weeks, whereas their respective controls remained sedentary. Total RNA was obtained from sections of the mesenteric adipose tissue of the rats. mRNA levels of adiponectin (Adipoq), tumor necrosis factor alpha (Tnf), peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor alpha (Ppara), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (Pparg) adipokines were quantified by quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). Results: In the exercise-trained control group, the expression of Adipoq increased compared to the sedentary control, which was not observed in the MSG-obese rats. Increased levels of Tnf in MSG-obese rats were not reversed by the swim training. The expression of Ppara was higher in sedentary MSGobese rats compared to the sedentary control. Swimming increased this adipokine expression in the exercise-trained control rats compared to the sedentary ones. mRNA levels of Pparg were higher in the sedentary MSG-rats compared to the sedentary control; however, the exercise did not influenced its expression in the groups analyzed. Conclusions: In conclusion, regular physical activity was not capable to correct the expression of proinflammatory adipokines in MSG-obese rat adipocytes. Arch Endocrinol Metab. 2015;59(3):210-
