Bad Gyal
Alba Farelo Solé (born 7 March 1997), known professionally as Bad Gyal, is a Spanish singer and songwriter. Bad Gyal has developed a strong cult following ever since her musical career began in 2016, with an interpretation of Rihanna's "Work (Rihanna song), Work" in the Catalan language. She continued to make music as an independent artist, releasing records like "Jacaranda" and "Fiebre". Bad Gyal later released two mixtapes: ''Slow Wine Mixtape, Slow Wine'' (2016) and ''Worldwide Angel'' (2018), which established her as an emerging artist within the Spanish urban scene. Bad Gyal signed with Interscope Records and Aftercluv in 2019 and saw mainstream acclaim with songs like "Santa María", "Zorra (Bad Gyal song), Zorra" and "Alocao", the latter becoming the List of number-one singles of 2019 (Spain), number-one song in Spain for 2019. 2021 saw the release of her first project as a signed artist ''Warm Up (EP), Warm Up'', and ''Sound System: The Final Releases''. Her debut album ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-2
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-2 (placental PAI, SerpinB2, PAI-2), a serine protease inhibitor of the serpin superfamily, is a coagulation factor that inactivates tissue plasminogen activator and urokinase. It is present in most cells, especially monocytes/macrophages. PAI-2 exists in two forms, a 60-kDa extracellular glycosylated form and a 43-kDa intracellular form. It is present only at detectable quantities in blood during pregnancy, as it is produced by the placenta, and may explain partially the increased rate of thrombosis during pregnancy. The majority of expressed PAI-2 remains unsecreted due to the presence of an inefficient internal signal peptide. Interactions PAI-2 has been reported to bind a series of intracellular and extracellular proteins. Whether PAI-2's physiological function is inhibition of the extracellular protease urokinase and/or whether PAI-2 has intracellular activities remains controversial. At least one of PAI-2's physiological functions may ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) also known as endothelial plasminogen activator inhibitor (serpin E1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''SERPINE1'' gene. Elevated PAI-1 is a risk factor for thrombosis and atherosclerosis. PAI-1 is a serine protease inhibitor ( serpin) that functions as the principal inhibitor of tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase (uPA), the activators of plasminogen and hence fibrinolysis (the physiological breakdown of blood clots). It is a serine protease inhibitor (serpin) protein (SERPINE1). The other PAI, plasminogen activator inhibitor-2 (PAI-2) is secreted by the placenta and only present in significant amounts during pregnancy. In addition, protease nexin acts as an inhibitor of tPA and urokinase. PAI-1, however, is the main inhibitor of the plasminogen activators. Genetics The PAI-1 gene is ''SERPINE1'', located on chromosome 7 (7q21.3-q22). There is a common polymorphism known as 4G/5G in the promoter reg ...

Photoacoustic Imaging
Photoacoustic imaging or optoacoustic imaging is a biomedical imaging modality based on the photoacoustic effect. Non-ionizing laser pulses are delivered into biological tissues and part of the energy will be absorbed and converted into heat, leading to transient thermoelastic expansion and thus wideband (i.e., megahertz-order bandwidth) ultrasonic emission. The generated ultrasonic waves are detected by ultrasonic transducers and then analyzed to produce images. It is known that optical absorption is closely associated with physiological properties, such as hemoglobin concentration and oxygen saturation. As a result, the magnitude of the ultrasonic emission (i.e. photoacoustic signal), which is proportional to the local energy deposition, reveals physiologically specific optical absorption contrast. 2D or 3D images of the targeted areas can then be formed. Biomedical imaging The optical absorption in biological tissues can be due to endogenous molecules such as hemoglobin or ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Personality Assessment Inventory
Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI), developed by Leslie Morey (1991, 2007), is a self-report 344-item personality test that assesses a respondent's personality and psychopathology. Each item is a statement about the respondent that the respondent rates with a 4-point scale (1-"Not true at all, False", 2-"Slightly true", 3-"Mainly true", and 4-"Very true"). It is used in various contexts, including psychotherapy, crisis/evaluation, forensic, personnel selection, pain/medical, and child custody assessment. The test construction strategy for the PAI was primarily deductive and rational. It shows good convergent validity with other personality tests, such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and the Revised NEO Personality Inventory. Scales The PAI has 22 non-overlapping scales of four varieties: 1) validity scales, 2) clinical scales, 3) treatment consideration scales, and 4) interpersonal scales. Validity scales The validity scales measure the respondent's overa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Persatuan Arab Indonesia
The Indonesia Arab Association () (PAI) is an association of Arab Indonesians founded by Abdurrahman Baswedan in 1934 in Semarang to encourage the allegiance of Arab immigrants to Indonesia. History On October 4, 1934 a group of forty Muwallads met in Semarang. After three days of vigorous debate they announced the establishment of a new organization called ''Persatoean Arab Indonesia''. Originally the association was intended to encourage Arab Indonesians, mostly Muwallads, to integrate, assimilate and pledge allegiance to Indonesia which was still under ruling of Netherlands as Dutch East Indies. The association later joined the political party ''Gabungan Politik Indonesia'' (GAPI) in 1939-1940. Meanwhile, a separate association called ''Indo-Arabische Beweging'' found in 1930, in other hand, tried to continue the separate status of Arab immigrants as ''foreign orientals'' established by the Dutch government. Members of the association came from different background and o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
