Perceptions of exonerees in Australia.

Identifying and preventing miscarriages of justice is paramount; however, it is also imperative to consider what happens to exonerees after they have been exonerated in order to better inform their integration back into the community. The present study examines the influence of the type of evidence used to exculpate the accused, and the length of time spent in prison, on public perceptions of exonerees in Australia. The findings reveal that innocent and exonerated individuals are perceived differently to guilty individuals in terms of desired closeness, and do not suggest that exonerees are stigmatised in the same way as guilty individuals may be.

Developing a data dictionary for the irish nursing minimum dataset.

One of the challenges in health care in Ireland is the relatively slow acceptance of standardised clinical information systems. Yet the national Irish health reform programme indicates that an Electronic Health Care Record (EHCR) will be implemented on a phased basis. [3-5].

The yeast hnRNP-like protein Hrp1/Nab4 sccumulates in the cytoplasm after hyperosmotic stress: a novel Fps1-dependent response.

The Hrp1/Nab4 shuttling protein belongs to a family of RNA binding proteins that bind to nascent RNA polymerase II transcripts and form hnRNP complexes. Members of this family function in a staggering array of cellular activities, ranging from transcription and pre-mRNA processing in the nucleus to cytoplasmic mRNA translation and turnover. It has recently been recognized that the yeast stress response can include alterations in hnRNP-mediated mRNA export.

In vivo analysis of nucleolar proteins modified by the yeast arginine methyltransferase Hmt1/Rmt1p.

In this report, we have investigated the impact of arginine methylation on the Gar1, Nop1, and Nsr1 nucleolar proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Although previous reports have established that protein arginine methylation is important for nucleocytoplasmic shuttling, they have focused on the examination of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs). We have extended this analysis to several nucleolar proteins that represent a distinct functional class of arginine-methylated proteins.
