В статье предпринята попытка соотношения таких юридических категорий, как «уголовное преследование» и «функция обвинения». Проводится компаративный анализ обвинения и подозрения как неотъемлемых элементов деятельности органов, осуществляющих уголовное преследование. The article attempts to correlate such legal categories as “criminal prosecution” and “function of accusation”. A comparative analysis of charges and suspicions as integral elements of the activities of bodies carrying out criminal prosecution is carried out.

Roots provide anchorage and enable the absorption of water and micronutrients from the soil for plants. Besides these essential functions, roots are increasingly being recognized as an important organ for the production of diverse secondary metabolites. The goal of this study was to investigate the chemical composition and function of terpenoid secondary metabolites in roots of different cultivars of the popular ornamental plant Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat. Although C. morifolium is known for rich production of secondary metabolites in its flower heads and leaves, the diversity of secondary metabolites in roots remains poorly characterized. In this study, 12 cultivars of C. morifolium were selected for comparative analysis. From their roots, a total of 20 terpenoids were detected, including four monoterpenes, 15 sesquiterpenes, and one diterpene. The cultivar ‘She Yang Hong Xin Ju’ exhibited the highest concentration of total terpenoids at approximately 730 µg·g−1 fresh weight. Most cultivars contained sesquiterpenes as the predominant terpenoids. Of them, (E)-β-farnesene was detected in all cultivars. Based on their terpenoid composition, the 12 cultivars were planed into four groups. To gain insights into the function of root secondary metabolites, we performed bioassays to assess their effects on growth of three species of pathogenic fungi: Fusarium oxysporum, Magnaporthe oryzae, and Verticillium dahliae. Significant variability in antifungal activity of the root extracts among different cultivars were observed. The cultivar ‘Xiao Huang Ju’ was the only cultivar that had significant inhibitory effects on all three species of fungi. Our study reveals the diversity of terpenoids in roots of C. morifolium and their function as a chemical defense against fungi.

Intensive gene targeting studies in mice have revealed that prolyl hydroxylase domain proteins (PHDs) play important roles in murine embryonic development; however, the expression patterns and function of these genes during embryogenesis of other vertebrates remain largely unknown. Here we report the molecular cloning ofphd1and systematic analysis ofphd1,phd2, andphd3expression in embryos as well as adult tissues ofXenopus laevis. All threephdsare maternally provided duringXenopusearly development. The spatial expression patterns ofphdsgenes inXenopusembryos appear to define a distinct synexpression group. Frogphd2andphd3showed complementary expression in adult tissues withphd2transcription levels being high in the eye, brain, and intestine, but low in the liver, pancreas, and kidney. On the contrary, expression levels ofphd3are high in the liver, pancreas, and kidney, but low in the eye, brain, and intestine. All threephdsare highly expressed in testes, ovary, gall bladder, and spleen. Among threephds,phd3showed strongest expression in heart.

This paper reassesses the architectural setting of a group of monumental buildings dating to the sixth centurybcfrom the Etruscan area of central Italy, sometimes referred to as palaces, orpalazzi. Although scholars traditionally have focused on classifying the buildings, the architectural form is here examined through close comparative analysis of spatial mechanics and movement. Focusing on case-studies from Poggio Civitate (Murlo) and Acquarossa, the author reconstructs the architectural processes of movement, particularly between the exterior and interior spaces arranged around a characteristic courtyard, and concludes that the structures are indicative of a unique Etruscan experience rather than that of Mediterranean palaces more generally. The author calls for a shift away from attempts to categorize these monumental structures in favour of a close analysis of spatial experience in order to explore better their architectural impact and function.

The Italian Renaissance philosopher Giordano Bruno’s only literary work, the comedy titled Candelaio published in 1582, has been interpreted through a comparative analysis with either his philosophical writings or with other plays from the tradition of the commedia erudita. In this article, I focus on the Candelaio’s textual strategies by drawing on the analytical categories of dissonance and deflection in order to demonstrate how Bruno’s theatrical piece can be viewed as a polemical statement on aesthetics. The introductory peritexts of the work set the key parameters for reading his text as a conscious play on conventionality and thus provide the interpretive framework for disentangling the complex meanings embedded in the dramatic action of the five acts that follow. Ultimately, the comedy aims to question representational practices through an engagement with the debate over the nature and function of art and artifice that invested all of the arts during the Cinquecento.
