The aim of this study was to examine the reference range of blood plasma fibrinogen, which belongs to the group of moderate acute phase protein in rabbits. The experiment followed the dynamics of blood plasma fibrinogen (Fb) during the first year of life in 12 New Zealand White rabbits, 6 males and 6 females, starting at 1 month of age until the 7 th month. It was shown that fibrinogen concentrations increased with the age. There was a statistically significant difference in Fb concentrations in rabbits at 3 (P<0.05), 6 (P<0.01) and 7 months of age (P<0.001) compared to levels obtained at 1 month of age in both genders. At ages of 1, 2 and 3 months, fibrinogen values were higher in male rabbits while in 7-month-old rabbits, plasma fibrinogen levels in females were significantly higher than those in male rabbits (P<0.01).
National-ethnic selfconsciousness is represented in a sign-symbolic interpretation of the linguistic and territorial identity of the Georgian people. A distinctive feature of the study is that such an interpretation introduces a certain degree of objectivity into the ethnographic research, and thereby provides an opportunity to consider the national-ethnic self-knowledge or identity of the Georgian people both on linguistic identification based on knowledge of the Georgian language and territorial affiliation. The purpose of this study is to combine different perspectives that relate to research issues connected with human language and territory and/or geographical environment. It has been hypothesized that both linguistic and territorial identities of the Georgian people are among the determining factors of national selfconsciousness in general. The multidimensional design of the study, the interpretation of the natural Georgian language codification in the concepts of semiotics and identity through the perception of territorial belonging through the prism of semiotic ethnography are based on the analysis of the description of the Georgian language, landscape and architecture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
