Additionally, whilst the MDA has stressed that the Arts Term Licensing Scheme is “optional” suggesting that artists have a “choice” in the matter, it appears that this is but a shrewd attempt by the authorities at veiling a false dichotomy to our art practitioners as they are essentially caught in between continuing the present regime where MDA issues all classifications and advisories, or that of a seemingly “different” system that is inherently the same as the former since “content assessors” are specially trained to heed MDA’s specifications.By limiting the creations of artists, allowing audiences to be only be granted access to what is deemed as “appropriate content”, and creating a rift of division between “content assessors” and th...

Serum MDA levels were estimated by method of Satoh K. Activities of enzymatic antioxidants were measured immediately after preparation of hemolysate by using kits from randox laboratories, Ransod for SOD and Ransel for Gpx.The findings of present study shows that in non smoking individuals consuming 90 ml of alcohol (whisky or rum) MDA is not significantly increased due to significant elevation of antioxidant enzymes.Montoliu C et al (1994) and Grasselli E et al (2014) in their study they noted significantly enhanced levelsof superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in moderate alcohol consumers compared to MDA levels.Another study by Lecomte, et al (1994) revealed that the activities of enzymatic antioxidants were elevated in study...

We will have a sign telling them why we are raising money and that it is for MDA!In the duration of raising money for MDA we made more people aware of MDA and what it is.Our way of raising money with this is to attend you must pay a three dollar fee to attend.Over 5,300 people now know the purpose of MDA, the effects of Muscular Dystrophy, and about the kids who have Muscular Dystrophy.For every person that placed an order and mentioned MDA 10% of the proceeds went to MDA.

Present study perhaps therefore suggests that the high MDA level in the luteal phase may play an important role in the initiation of menstruation which is a well established cellular injury based phenomenon.While, no significant differences in MDA levels throughout the normal menstrual cycle also have been reported .In this study, a negative correlation was also observed between serum ascorbic acid (mg/dl) and serum MDA (nmol/ml) levels in both follicular and luteal phases but the correlation was found to be non-significant in both follicular phase (r value=-0.026, p>0.05) as well as in luteal phase (r value=-0.010, p>0.05).The difference between MDA levels in the luteal phase was highly significant (p<0.0001) when compared wit...

To test the role of p73 in rapamycin and cisplatin synergism, we first evaluated the expression of p73 mRNA and protein levels following treatment with cisplatin or rapamycin alone or in combination in MDA-MB-231 cells.This led us to postulate that a common signal transduction pathway inhibited by rapamycin may be an important component that synergizes cisplatin sensitivity in basal-like cells.Consistent with previous studies, treatment of cells with cisplatin or rapamycin alone induces p73 protein expression followed by transcriptional activation of the 2 potent pro-apoptotic p73 target genes, PUMA and NOXA.Indeed, depletion of TAp73 in MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells completely abrogated the synergistic effects of rapamycin suggesting ...

class (M1) - object (M0)) conforms the MDA approach although it does not define a meta-metamodel.In Model Driven Architecture (MDA), the Meta-Object Facility (MOF) standard provides a meta-metamodel that allows other metamodels to be represented such as the UML language metamodel or transformation languages QVT.To this end, the Object Management Group (OMG) implemented a business process definition metamodel (BPDM) in 2003.It is a metamodel of the M2 layer in the four-layer architecture of the MDA approach.For example, SysML is a modeling language used in systems engineering and defined as a subset of UML.

In cataractogenesis, the parameters commonly considered are malondialdehyde (MDA) and proteins (total proteins and water soluble proteins).Discussion -SOD, GSH, TPC and copper-induced lipoprotein diene formation was found to increase, whereas MDA levels significantly decreased, as the concentration of APE and LCE increased.A significant increase in MDA level was found in the control opposed to the normal lenses (1.57±0.04μmol/g of fresh weight of lens; P<0.01 (Fig-2).Catlin is the marketed drug with considerable anticataract activity hence was taken as standard and various parameters measured, including total proteins and malondialdehyde (MDA) in vitro on goat lenses.284 , 856-862 .

The corrective aspects include use of appropriate anti- aging products and procedures based on the age and needs of the patients.As a mild exfoliating procedure, microdermabrasion (MDA) every 1 to 3 months depending on the skin type would be a good preventive anti- aging strategy.Management of an aging skin should be done on a long-term basis and should be tailor made based on the needs assessment of an individual.The procedural modalities of treatment include basic procedures (electrocautery, microdermabrasion and chemical peels), use of technology based devices (lasers, lights, radiofrequency) and injectables (botulinum toxin, fillers, fat transfer, PRP, microneedling and mesotherapy).MDA is always done first followed by the peel.

As MDA is considered the subdivision of Systemic Functional Linguistics (hereafter SFL) which focus on social semiotic approach of critical discourse analysis (hereafter CDA), this present study should be considered as an experimental attempt of utilizing MDA in incorporating social culture and ideology into discourse analysis[1].Since the multimodal discourse analysis (hereafter MDA) theory has been established only within this recent decade, and it is relatively hard to find solid references to support this theory, flaws and limitations are therefore unavoidable.Since the two posters both adopted a centered circular position which presented their central characters in the very core of the composition, there is very little to compare in...

The only way these deaths will not be in vain is if more education and knowledge of MDMA and Ecstasy is brought to light.If a million users are understood, this works out at 1:143,000, implying the risk is "Minimal", according to British Government Risk Classification developed by Sir Kenneth Calman, Government Chief Medical Officer.Perhaps one of the biggest problems with Ecstasy is the aura of mystery surrounding it and the media hype of "the killer pill."It shares a chemical structure with methamphetamine, mescaline, and methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), drugs known to cause brain damage (1).This means a citizen would have a greater chance of dying in a fishing accident than from taking an E pill (9).

However, an excessive production of ROS or a lack of antioxidants can disrupt the balance and result in oxidative stress.(25, 77, 80) Increased DNA base damage resulted from hydroxyl radical attack has been reported in inflammatory breast cancer.(75) However high levels of ROS can cause cellular toxicity, lipid peroxidation, DNA damage, cell proliferation arrest and apoptosis.(76-78).The antioxidant defence systems in cells comprise of a group of antioxidant compounds such as Vitamin E, superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase which function to cope with the high intracellular ROS levels.Intracellular oxidative stress can cause DNA damage, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and apoptosis.

With statistics from the Age Pyramid of Resident Population by Singstat.gov.sg, if our media regulation allowed more spoken languages to be aired on TV, our media will have an approximate 10.5% increase in the number of people reached.Firstly, media regulations reduce the number of audience reached, which cause a drop in revenues generated.The two significant regulations that are responsible for this is the Free-To-Air Television Programme Code and the new Internet licensing framework under the Broadcasting Act.This Free-To-Air Television Programme Code reaffirms that there is no indecent or controversial content on TV (Mda.gov.sg).However, in 2009, our media industry has contributed to less than 4.4% of Singapore’s GDP (Wda.gov.sg).
