維基百科,自由的百科全書

神經性毒劑(Nerve agent)是一類含磷的有機化學物質(有機磷酸鹽),可以破壞生物神經將信息傳遞到器官的機制。神經性毒劑藉由阻斷乙醯膽鹼酯酶,乙醯膽鹼酯酶是降解(通過其水解活性)神經遞質乙醯膽鹼成為膽鹼和乙酸的酶。
根據聯合國第687號決議(1991年4月通過),神經性毒劑被聯合國列為大規模毀滅性化學武器,1993年化學武器公約所禁止生產和儲存,化學武器公約於1997年4月29日正式生效。1899年和1907年海牙公約和1925年日內瓦議定書中已經禁止在戰爭中使用化學氣體。
神經性毒劑引起的中毒將導致瞳孔收縮,大量唾液分泌,抽搐,大小便失禁,並導致呼吸肌的控制喪失而窒息死亡。一些神經藥劑容易蒸發或霧化,並且經由呼吸系統進入身體。神經性毒劑也可以被皮膚吸收。

Cultural scripts

New Y.A. Books by Women of Color Rewrite Old Cultural Scripts
By JENNIFER HUBERT SWAN
In books by Dhonielle Clayton, Tomi Adeyemi and others, teenagers from around the globe are inventive, romantic and above all empowered.







Cultural scripts are patterns of interaction which are unique to a particular culture. The use of the concept of "scripts," a metaphor from the language of the theater, was introduced into sociology with the ideas of symbolic interactionism.
