The Aarhus Convention is a globally recognised benchmark for democratic environmental governance. However, no assessment exists on whether European MPAs comply with the legal standards set out by Convention. Here, we focus public authorities' websites as tools promoting transparency, involvement, and processes. We assessed of 61 in thirteen countries using survey structured three pillars Convention: access to information, participation decision-making, justice. show that while most are used...
Transboundary conservation has an important, yet often undervalued, role in the international regime. When applied to legally ambiguous and interconnected marine environment this is magnified. The lack of clear guidance for transboundary from community exacerbates problem, leaving individual initiatives develop their own governance arrangements. Yet, well-managed protected areas (MPAs) have potential contribute significantly global aims. Conversely, a period where there increasing interest...
The importance of catecholamines in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) still needs to be explored. We aimed evaluate epinephrine's (EPI) causal role and molecular mechanism for the persistence PTSD traumatic memories. Wild-type (WT) EPI-deficient mice (phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase-knockout mice, Pnmt-KO) were induced with behavioral tests performed. Some Pnmt-KO administered EPI or vehicle. Catecholamines quantified by HPLC-ED. Nr4a1, Nr4a2, Nr4a3 mRNA expression evaluated...
Abstract Stroke is the main cause of death and functional disability. The available therapy affects only 5% patients, new therapeutic approaches have been constantly tested. Transcranial photobiomodulation (PBM) promising for its neuroprotective effect on brain injuries. Thus, present study investigated PBM effects in an vivo model ischemic stroke induced by photothrombosis (PT). Five different groups Wistar rats were submitted or not to a daily dose fish oil or/and laser sessions 2 months....
Commonly used methods to visualize the biological structure of brain tissues at subcellular resolution are confocal microscopy and two-photon microscopy. Both require slicing sample into sections a few tens micrometers. The recent developments in X-ray microtomography enable three-dimensional imaging sub-micrometer isotropic with larger samples. In this work, we developed compared original staining protocols improve contrast for vitro mouse neuron imaging. Using Golgi's method stain neurons...
Proechimys are small terrestrial rodents from Amazon rainforest. Each animal species is adapted to a specific environment in which the evolved therefore without comparative approaches unique characteristics of distinct cannot be fully recognized. Laboratory exceedingly inbred strains dissociated their native habitats and fundamental ecological aspects abstracted. Thus, employment exotic non-model can informative complement conventional models. With aim promoting studies between wildlife...
Abstract Enrichment and diagnosis tools for pathogens currently available are time consuming, thus the development of fast highly sensitive alternatives is desirable. In this study, a novel approach was described that enables selective capture bacteria expressing hydrolyzed collagen‐binding adhesins with collagen‐coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). This platform could be useful to shorten needed confirm presence bacterial infection. MNPs were synthesized by simple two‐step through green...
The dataset presented in this article contains information about marine Area-Based Management Tools (ABMTs) used to assess their contribution the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Following scope of analysis, ABMTs were identified by scrutinizing international and regional legal sources related ocean management fields conservation, fisheries, deep sea bed mining, underwater natural cultural heritage, environmental spatial planning. Legal screened depict following...
Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA) is a sudden neurological condition, which mostly results from cerebral ischemia. Responsible for large number of deaths and functional disability worldwide, it extremely important to implement preventive strategies identify new therapies. Phototherapy has been an excellent therapeutic modality several diseases, few studies have explored this the treatment stroke. The aim study was analyze whether with LLLT able modulate inflammatory mediators in experimental...
