Abstract

We previously reported decreased lymphocyte proliferative responses among older women with persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. To characterize the phenotype of peripheral lymphocytes associated with persistent HPV infection, we evaluated the expression of different cell surface markers in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a case-control study within a 10,woman population-based cohort study in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Women in the cohort aged 46 to 74 and with HPV results at their 5 year anniversary visit were considered, and all women (n=87) with persistent HPV infections, all women (n=) with transient HPV infections and a random sample of HPV DNA-negative women (n=) frequency-matched to cases on age were selected for this study. A median of 3 years after the case-control matching visit, cervical cells were collected for liquid-based cytology and repeat HPV DNA genotyping. Blood was obtained from which PBMCs were extracted and cryopreserved for immunological phenotyping via flow cytometry. Significant increases in risk of HPV persistence were observed for three marker subsets indicative of immune cell activation/differentiation. Relative risk estimates were (95%CI=–) for CD69CD4, (95%CI=–) for HLADRCD3CD4 and (95%CI=–) for CD45ROCD27CD8. A significant decrease in HPV persistence was observed for a subset marker indicative of an immature, undifferentiated memory state CD45ROCD27CD4 (OR=; 95%CI = –). Adjustment for these markers only partially explained the previously reported association between decreased lymphoproliferative responses and persistent HPV infection. Whether phenotypic alterations observed predispose to HPV persistence or result from it should be the focus of future studies.

Peter Eisenman: The end of theory, even as a question, is not a neutral statement. And as a person who&#;s been faced with the end of theory for fifty years, it&#;s not a new subject. But it must be said that there is no end of theory. According to Jonathan Culler, the “end” of theory is somewhat inherent to the logic of theory itself. In his book on literary theory from , in a chapter titled “What is Theory?” he writes:

&#;The unmasterability of theory is a major cause of resistance to it. A good deal of the hostility to theory, no doubt, comes from the fact that, to admit the importance of theory is to make an open-ended commitment, to leave yourself in a position where there are always important things you don&#;t know.&#;

Kurt Forster: When this school, the ETH, started back in , it had three well-known figures who, despite the demise of their reputations, still represent three domains of architecture that we still need to occupy, contest, or overcome. First, it had Gottfried Semper, who has, to this day, proven to be one of the few minds in the field capable of stimulating contemporary thought. Second was the German structural engineer Karl Culmann, who in published probably one of the most historically significant books on construction and technology. His books made visible the curves representing forces at play in architecture. His teachings, which were implemented by his pupils, for instance by Maurice Koechlin in the Eiffel Tower, finally knocked architecture off its orthogonal pedestal. And the third person was, of course, Jacob Burckhardt, one of the nineteenth century’s most important cultural theorists and historians. Therefore, one could say that architectural history, as a practice, as a self-conscious and pedagogical subject, was divided from the start. Architecture entered the institution as a big, yawning void, and we should understand this major period of architectural history n

Icelandic singer (born )

This article is about the singer. For her self-titled album, see Björk (album). For other uses, see Björk (disambiguation).

This is an Icelandic name. The last name is patronymic, not a family name; this person is referred to by the given name Björk.

Björk GuðmundsdóttirOTF (BYURK, Icelandic:[pjœr̥kˈkvʏðmʏntsˌtouhtɪr̥]; born 21 November ), known mononymously as Björk, is an Icelandic singer, songwriter, composer, record producer, and actress. Noted for her distinct voice, three-octavevocal range, and eccentric public persona, she has developed an eclectic musical style over a career spanning four decades, drawing on electronica, pop, dance, trip hop, jazz, and avant-garde music. She is one of the most influential pioneers in electronic and experimental music.

Born and raised in Reykjavík, Björk began her music career at the age of 11 and gained international recognition as the lead singer of the alternative rock band the Sugarcubes by the age of After the Sugarcubes disbanded in , Björk gained prominence as a solo artist with her albums Debut (), Post (), and Homogenic (), collaborating with artists from a range of disciplines and genres, and exploring a variety of multimedia projects. Her later albums consist of Vespertine (), Medúlla (), Volta (), Biophilia (), Vulnicura (), Utopia () and Fossora ().

With sales of over 40 million records worldwide, Björk is one of the best-selling alternative artists of all time. Several of her albums have reached the top 20 on the US Billboard chart. Thirty-one of her singles have reached the top 40 on pop charts around the world, with 22 top 40 hits in the UK, including the top singles "It's Oh So Quiet", "Army of Me", and "Hyperballad" and the top singles "Play Dead", "Big Time Sensuality", and "Violently Happy". Her accolades and awards include the Order of the Falcon, five BRIT Awards, and
