Gravitational wave luminosity distance for Starobinsky gravity in viscous cosmological models by Jia-nan Chi, Ya-Bo Wu, Yu Sang, Xue Zhang, Yi-liang Hu, Wen-zhong Liu, Bo-hai Chen

“…Concretely, on the basis of the propagation equation of the metric perturbation derived by using transverse-traceless gauge for the linear perturbation of the metric in FRW background, we obtain the analytical expressions of the modified friction term $$\delta (z)$$ δ ( z ) and the ratio $$d_L^{GW}(z)/d_L^{EM}(z)$$ d L GW ( z ) / d L EM ( z ) of GW to electromagnetic (EM) wave luminosity distance, and find that they only depend on the SG model parameter $$\alpha $$ α and the shear viscous coefficient $$\eta $$ η , regardless of the bulk viscous coefficient $$\zeta $$ ζ . …”

Regarder au-delà des élections : l’historicité complexe de la participation politique dans la Libye contemporaine by Chiara Loschi, Chiara Pagano

“…Hence, they do not represent the mere resurgence of conflicts allegedly inherent to Libyan society labelled according to certain orientalist expressions as "traditional", incapable of any form of political organisation capacity, characterised by "anarchy", "disorder" or "political immaturity". …”

ALTRE PAROLE DEL «DISSESTO FINANZIARIO»: BANCAROTTA, DECOZIONE, INSOLVENZA by Francesca Fusco

“…The compound, despite criticism from 19th-century purists, has been particularly successful in the Italian legal language, in which the expressions bancarotta semplice e bancarotta fraudolenta have become especially popular to indicate offences consisting of conduct detrimental to the interests of creditors committed by the entrepreneur during the bankruptcy procedure. …”

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species trigger metformin-dependent antitumor immunity via activation of Nrf2/mTORC1/p62 axis in tumor-infiltrating CD8T lymphocytes by Kazuhiro Kakimi, Hirokazu Matsushita, Masaaki Komatsu, Eiryo Kawakami, Mikako Nishida, Nahoko Yamashita, Taisaku Ogawa, Keita Koseki, Eiji Warabi, Tomoyuki Ohue, Katsuyuki Shiroguchi, Heiichiro Udono

“…Consequently, we studied the mechanism of the Met-induced antitumor effect. Expressions of glucose transporter (Glut)-1, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS), interferon (IFN)-γ, Ki67, autophagy markers, activation markers for NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and mammalian target of rapamaycin complex 1 (mTORC1) in CD8+ tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (CD8TILs) were examined by flow cytometry analysis. …”

Integrating network analysis and experimental validation to reveal the mechanism of Cuscuta chinensis lam. Extract in the treatment of IgA nephropathy by Xianlong Zhang, Mingjie Liang, Ziyang Lin, Minyi Li, Tingting Duan, Yun Han, Lanqing Meng, Mengqiu Li, Guixuan Lin, Tao Xia, Ying Lai, Boen Liang, Bingqiong Li, Minhua Li, Fengxin Kang, Quan Zhu, Zhenghai Li, Junzheng Yang

“…Results: The results demonstrated that a significant decrease in the glomerular filtration rate, accompanied by a notable elevation in biochemical indexes in rats in model group, including the ratio of total protein to creatinine in urine, sCr, BUN, TG, AST, ALT, IL-1β and TNF-α; additionally, the rats in the model group exhibited substantial histopathological alterations, characterized by the presence of many IgA deposits; CCLE has been demonstrated to enhance the glomerular filtration rate, downregulate the levels of sCr, BUN, TG, AST, ALT, IL-1β and TNF-α, reduce the IgA deposition, and ameliorate the histopathological changes in IgA nephropathy rats; Western blotting demonstrated CCLE can suppress the expressions of p-PI3K, p-AKT, p-IKK, p-NF-κB, and p-IκB in IgA nephropathy rats. …”
