Penyebab Psoiasis

Psoriasis sampai saat ini belum dpt diketahui penyebabnya, ada beberapa teori penyebab Pso:

Secara Imiah:
1. Genetik
Bila Org tua kita tidak menderita Pso, maka kemungkinan kita mendpt Pso oleh karena
berbagai sebab sebesar 12%. Bila ortu kita Pso, maka kemungkinan 34-39%. Jadi kalo
sudah tau kita Pso ( khusus yg belum kawin ) jangan cari pacar Pso juga, kasian anak
anakmu nanti.
1. Imunologik
Pada penderita Pso terjadi kerusakan genetik tertentu yg di expresikan ke salah satu
dari 3 jenis sel, yaitu Limfosit T, Antigen dermal & Keratinosit. sel2 ini terutama me -
nyebabkan pergantian kulit penderita Pso menjadi 3 hari dari normalnya 30 hari.
Ini dpt dibuktikan dgn pemberian pengobatan Imunosupresif, Pso menjadi Remisi

Non Ilmiah
Usus penderita Pso menipis dan berlobang kecil2 (porous), akibatnya racun2 dalam sistim pencernaan yg mestinya dibuang keluar lewat usus menerobos dinding usus masuk ke sistim lmpha dan akhirnya masuk ke dalam sirkulasi darah. Ginjal & liver akan berusaha membuang toxin2 tsb tapi akumulasi toxin menyebabkan organ2 tsb kepayahan dalam berfungsi, terjadi akumulasi toxin yg overloaded yg dikeluarkan / dibuang lewat kulit. Timbullah gejala klinis Pso.

PhD Student in Systems Biology (M/F), University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg

The University of Luxembourg has a vacancy in its Faculty of Science, Technology and Communication for a Assistant- PhD student (Doktorand) in Systems Biology / Life Sciences 2-year contract, renewable starting December 2008 (or later) (M/F).


Reference: F1-080017

Research area: Systems Biology - Life Sciences

Systems biological methods shall be used to investigate the systemic properties of inflammatory signaling networks in mammalian cells. Therefore a Boolean (logical) model of inflammatory signal transduction pathways shall be developed to predict and verify experimental data, to examine the structure and hierarchy of the networks and to analyze the relevance of the contained components.

PhD Studentship in Computational Models of Visual Processing, University of Edinburgh, UK

University of Edinburgh
PhD Studentship in Computational Models of Visual Processing
School of Informatics
The School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh invites applications for a three-year PhD studentship on the project “Synchronous Linguistic and Visual Processing” funded by the European Research Council. The aim of this project is to investigate the cognitive processes that unfold when humans view a visual scene and listen to a speech stimulus at the same time. The project encompasses
both experimental research using eye-tracking and computational work using machine learning and probabilistic modeling.

The successful candidate will have a have a good honors degree or equivalent in cognitive science, artificial intelligence, computer science, or a related discipline. He/she will have strong programming skills and previous experience in image processing, computer vision, or computational models of perception and attention. Experience with machine learning and probabilistic modeling techniques is essential.

The successful candidate will work as part of a team of experts in linguistic and visual processing; he/she will design and implement models of visual processing based on the results of eye-movements experiments on synchronous processing.

The studentship will provide maintenance only funding at an enhanced research council rate. Both UK/EU and overseas candidates are encouraged to apply.

For further information please contact Dr. Frank Keller (keller[ at ]inf.ed.ac.uk). Application forms and details on how to apply are available from:
http://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/postgraduate/apply.html

More information about the project can be found at:
http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/keller/projects/synproc.html

On your application, please indicate “ERC Studentship: Synchronous Processing”.

Application deadline: November 15, 2008.

Applications received after the deadline may be considered, but this cannot be guaranteed.

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Hybrid Solar Cell Characterization, Aix Marseille University, France
Reference: SPI-05-AMII-MA-2008-4
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the Centre interdisciplinaire de Nanoscience de Marseille (CINaM) at the Campus of Luminy to lead research efforts in the optimization of electronic interfaces in hybrid solar cells. The post-doc position is available from November 2008.

Description:
The CINaM is looking for a creative and experienced individual to perform experimental investigations in the research field of hybrid solar cell characterization. The applicant will contribute to a regional founded solar cell project, which is focusing on the development of new hybrid solar cells based on coaxial p-n heterojunction nanorods. The applicant is expected to study the photovoltaics properties of the nanomaterials in detail and to optimize the electronic interfaces of the solar cells. The project involves a strong interdisciplinary collaboration between chemists and physicists at the CINAM. A wide range of experimental equipments is available at the CINaM, which allow complete chemical, physico-chemical and morphological analysis of the nanomaterials as well as solar cell fabrication and characterization.

Qualifications:
This position requires a Ph.D. in physics, electronics, materials science, or related fields. Applicants should possess experience in the following fields: characterization of organic or hybrid solar cells as well as electronic and morphological characterization of semiconductor interfaces. Other required qualifications include a proven record of solid scientific research including publications and presentations, as well as strong, versatile teamwork and communication skills.

Postdoc and PhD Student Position in Genetics / Genomics / Bioinformatics, Germany

Postdoc and PhD Student Position in Genetics / Genomics / Bioinformatics, Germany

Within a project for the “Marker assisted selection of Varroa-tolerant honey bees” there are two vacancies for scientific staff (payment is based on German pay scale for public employees, TV-L Ost E 13 and TV-L Ost E 13/2, respectively). The positions are available from the 1st of December 2008, the contract duration being 3 years. The availability of the positions is subject to the final approval of the project by the German Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection,.

In a first project phase, with the help of a microsatellite-based procedure, regions of the honey bee genome which are responsible for the detection and removal of Varroa-infested pupae from brood cells could be identified. Within the posted project a fine-mapping of the relevant genome regions and an isolation of possible candidate genes is to be carried out by applying SNP analysis. In addition, a concept concerning genomic selection for disease resistance in honey bees is to be established.

Job description, Post Doc Position (TV-L Ost, E 13)
Steering the team including one doctoral candidate and a technical staff member. Coordination of studies on the hygienic behaviour of honeybee workers towards Varroa-infested brood cells and establishing microarray based SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) analysis.

Requirements:
- University degree and PhD in biology/biochemistry /agriculture or veterinary medicine.
- Comprehensive understanding of the application of methods in molecular genetics and bioinformatics.
- Cooperation with other groups of the house and various cooperation partners.
- Proactive individual, team player, good organisational skills.

Job description, PhD Student position (TV-L Ost, E 13/2)
Development of theoretical fundamentals and practical application of genomic selection in the honey bee.

Requirements:
- University degree in bioinformatics/biology/agriculture or veterinary medicine.
