Genetics of Obesity     

Apurva Srivastava  Neena Srivastava  Balraj Mittal 《Indian journal of clinical biochemistry : IJCB》2016,31(4):361-371

Numerous classical genetic studies have proved that genes are contributory factors for obesity. Genes are directly responsible for obesity associated disorders such as Bardet–Biedl and Prader–Willi syndromes. However, both genes as well as environment are associated with obesity in the general population. Genetic epidemiological approaches, particularly genome-wide association studies, have unraveled many genes which play important roles in human obesity. Elucidation of their biological functions can be very useful for understanding pathobiology of obesity. In the near future, further exploration of obesity genetics may help to develop useful diagnostic and predictive tests for obesity treatment.  相似文献   

My avatar,my self: Virtual harm and attachment   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Jessica Wolfendale 《Ethics and Information Technology》2007,9(2):111-119

Multi-user online environments involve millions of participants world-wide. In these online communities participants can use their online personas – avatars – to chat, fight, make friends, have sex, kill monsters and even get married. Unfortunately participants can also use their avatars to stalk, kill, sexually assault, steal from and torture each other. Despite attempts to minimise the likelihood of interpersonal virtual harm, programmers cannot remove all possibility of online deviant behaviour. Participants are often greatly distressed when their avatars are harmed by other participants’ malicious actions, yet there is a tendency in the literature on this topic to dismiss such distress as evidence of too great an involvement in and identification with the online character. In this paper I argue that this dismissal of virtual harm is based on a set of false assumptions about the nature of avatar attachment and its relation to genuine moral harm. I argue that we cannot dismiss avatar attachment as morally insignificant without being forced to also dismiss other, more acceptable, forms of attachment such as attachment to possessions, people and cultural objects and communities. Arguments against according moral significance to virtual harm fail because they do not reflect participants’ and programmers’ experiences and expectations of virtual communities and they have the unintended consequence of failing to grant significance to attachments that we take for granted, morally speaking. Avatar attachment is expressive of identity and self-conception and should therefore be accorded the moral significance we give to real-life attachments that play a similar role.

互联网信息对专利新颖性的影响     

杨为国  戚昌文 《中国软科学》2002,(4):33-35

互联网的出现和普及,以及在互联网上拥有的大量最新的信息资料,使得对互联网的使用已成为当今科技工作中的一项不可缺少的工具。对新技术的研发和探索,通常都离不开在互联网上的查询和检索。这引出了在专利审查工作中是否应考虑将互联网上的信息作为判断新颖性的问题。本文针对该问题,就不同的观点进行了分析;探讨了将互联网信息作为考虑和判断专利新颖性时存在的困惑;并就是否应当在判断专利新颖性时考虑互联网上的信息,提出了自己的观点和看法。  相似文献
