Researching sensitive topics poses multiple methodological and ethical challenges.To overcome these, this contribution proposes the method of cartoon elicitation, inspired by photo-elicitation and based on framing theory.The impersonality and satire of cartoons and the distance made between a sensitive topic and real life events can diminish potent
Radiation treatment failure or relapse after initial response to chemotherapy presents significant clinical challenges in cancer patients.Escape from initial courses of treatment can involve reactivation of embryonic developmental stages, with the formation of polynuclear giant cancer cells (PGCCs).This strategy of dedifferentiation can insulate ca
The goals of the present study were to characterize the profile of ligninolytic Handles/Braces enzymes in five Pleurotus species and determine their ability to delignify eight common agro-forestry residues.Generally, corn stalks were the optimal inducer of Mn-dependent peroxidase activity, but the activity peak was noted after wheat straw fermentat
Australian bat lyssavirus (ABLV) is a recently emerged rhabdovirus of the genus lyssavirus considered endemic in Australian bat populations that causes a neurological disease in people indistinguishable from clinical rabies.There are two distinct variants of ABLV, one that circulates in frugivorous bats (genus Pteropus) and the other in insectivoro
Interest in the development of stripper headers is growing owing to the Reclining Sofa excessive losses of combine harvesters and costs of manually harvesting for chickpeas.The design of a new concept can enhance the mechanized process for chickpea harvesting.A modified stripper platform was designed, in which passive fingers with V-shape slots rem
