Цель исследования - оценка проницаемости ГЭБ после сочетанного воздействия гиперкапнии и гипоксии. Методика. Исследования проведены на 40 крысах-самцах Wistar рандомизированых на 4 равные группы (n=10): нормобарическая гипоксия (PO2 - 90 мм рт. ст./13%; PCO2 - 1 мм рт. ст./0,1%); пермиссивная гиперкапния (PO2 - 150 мм рт. ст./21%; PСO2 - 50 мм рт. ст./7%); гиперкапническая гипоксия (PO2 - 90 мм рт. ст./13%; PCO2 - 50 мм рт. ст./7%); контрольная группа (PO2 - 150 мм рт. ст./21%; PCO2 - 1 мм рт. ст./0,1%). Респираторные воздействия проводили в специальной камере в течение 15 сут по 30 мин ежедневно. Газовую смесь подавали в камеру компрессором со скоростью 15 л/мин. Контроль газового состава в камере проводили газоанализатором Microlux (Микролюкс, Россия). Через 24 ч после завершения курсов респираторных воздействий животным внутрибрюшинно вводили 2%-й раствор красителя Evans blue в объеме 4 мл/кг массы животного. Оценку проницаемости ГЭБ осуществляли через 24 ч после введения красителя путем фотометрического измерения его содержания в плазме крови и флуоресцентной микроскопии ткани головного мозга. Анализ интенсивности флуоресценции Evans blue в ткани головного мозга проводился на конфокальном микроскопе FV10i-W (Olympus, Япония). Определяли флуоресцентную интегративную оптическую плотность Evans blue с последующим расчетом индекса проницаемости по концентрации красителя в крови. Определение содержания красителя в крови осуществляли фотометрически (при 610 нм) с использованием планшетного фотометра Multiscan FS (Thermo scientific, США) по калибровочным кривым. Результаты. Индекс проницаемости ГЭБ (содержание в мозге/концентрация в крови) был существенно ниже в группах, которые подвергались респираторным воздействиям с наличием гиперкапнического компонента. Заключение. Интермиттирующая гиперкапническая гипоксия формирует наименьший уровень проницаемости ГЭБ по сравнению с изолированным воздействием гипоксии или гиперкапнии. The aim of study was to evaluate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability after a combined treatment with hypercapnia and hypoxia. Methods. Experiments were performed on 40 Wistar male rats randomized to 4 equal groups (n=10): normobaric hypoxia (PO2 = 90 mm Hg/13%/PCO2 = 1 mm Hg/0.1% CO2,), permissive hypercapnia (PO2 = 150 mm Hg/21%; PCO2 = 50 mm Hg/7%); hypercapnic hypoxia (PO2 = 90 mm Hg/13%, PCO2 = 50 mm Hg/7%); and a control group (PO2 - 150 mm Hg/21%; PCO2 - 1 mm Hg/0.1%) in a special chamber for 15 days, 30 min daily. The gas mixture was delivered to the chamber with a compressor at 15 l/min. Gas composition was monitored with a gas analyzer (Microlux, Russia). At 24 hrs after completion of respiratory exposures, Evans blue dye was administered i.p. (4 ml/kg body weight). BBB permeability was assessed from the content of Evans blue dye in blood plasma photometrically and in brain tissue by fluorescent microscopy. Evans blue fluorescence intensity in brain tissue was analyzed with a confocal microscope FV10i-W (Olympus, Japan). Fluorescent integrative optical density of Evans blue was determined and used for calculation of the permeability index from blood concentration of the dye. Blood concentration of the dye was measured photometrically (at 610 nm) with a plate photometer Multiscan FS (Thermo Scientific, USA) using calibration curves. Results. The BBB permeability index (content of Evans blue dye in the brain / concentration of Evans blue dye in blood) was significantly lower in the groups that underwent respiratory exposures with the presence of a hypercapnic component. Conclusion. Intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia yields the lowest BBB permeability compared to the isolated effect of either hypoxia or hypercapnia.

Celem badań była ocena wpływu niedoboru wody na zdolność kiełkowania nasion i wzrost siewek cebuli oraz identyfikacja obiecujących obiektów do wykorzystania w przyszłych programach hodowli nowych odmian cebuli tolerancyjnych na stres suszy. Oceniono 150 linii/odmian cebuli pochodzących z polskich i zagranicznych firm hodowlano-nasiennych oraz z Banku Genów Instytutu Ogrodnictwa w Skierniewicach. Doświadczenia prowadzono w warunkach laboratoryjnych indukując stres suszy przez zastosowanie 18% poliglikolu etylenowego (PEG8000) w fazie kiełkowania nasion i 10% PEG w fazie siewek. Badane obiekty cebuli wykazały istotne zróżnicowanie pod względem tolerancji na stres suszy, potwierdzone wysokimi wartościami współczynnika zmienności (CV) dla ocenianych parametrów: maksymalny procent skiełkowanych nasion (35,3%), świeża masa siewek (38,5%), długość liścieni siewek (42,9%) i długość korzeni siewek (56,3%). Zanotowano, że niedobór wody najmniej ograniczył kiełkowanie nasion o 23%, następnie długość korzeni o 36%, a najbardziej świeżą masę siewek i długość liścieni, odpowiednio o 52% i 53,5%. Stwierdzono silną korelację (r = 0,81‒0,86) między cechami opisującymi wzrost siewek w warunkach suszy, wskazując, że deficyt wody redukuje wzrost całych siewek. Natomiast zależności pomiędzy nimi a kiełkowaniem w stresie suszy okazały się nieistotne (r = 0,19‒0,24). Spośród 150 obiektów cebuli, genotyp 171026 wykazał wysoki poziom tolerancji na suszę zarówno w fazie kiełkowania, jak i w fazie siewek.

Full textAbstract:
Variability in maturity within a peach (Prunus persica, L. Batsch) fruit was estimated by measurements of force and the soluble solids concentration (SSC) at 16 coordinates around the peach at five maturity stages: 1) about one-half final swell (immature); 2) 85% final swell (green); 3) firm-ripe and similar to chip #3 of the Clemson Univ. system; 4) firm-ripe and similar to chip #5; and 5) tree-ripe. Firm-ripe 3 and 4 stages were firm enough to ship, but the tree-ripe stage was too soft. Firmness measured with a 4.7-mm-diameter penetrometer tip from two cultivars indicates a strong trend for the peach tip and cheeks to be firmer than tissue at other coordinates. Coordinates at the equator and around the stem end are generally firmer than coordinates at lat. 45°N, particularly in stages 3, 4, and 5. The SSC in juice from a cylinder of fruit adjacent to the puncture was higher at long. 90°E-W than at the sutures and higher at lat. 0° than at 70°S. Variance increased for force and decreased for SSC between maturity stages to the firm-ripe stage. The coordinate technique might be used to characterize and select cultivars that would be most suitable for once-over harvests.

Full textAbstract:
Teza. „Wyuczona bezradność” stała się zjawiskiem, które w XXI wieku jest ściśle związane ze sposobem funkcjonowania pracownika we wszystkich organizacjach (tak w dużych, jak i w małych firmach), ale także z ryzykiem, z którym muszą liczyć się osoby zarządzające bądź działy zasobów ludzkich. Sam problem dotyczy także przedstawicieli wolnych zawodów i osób samozatrudnionych. Artykuł ukazuje sposób funkcjonowania jednostki wykazującej wyuczoną bezradność oraz różnego rodzaju deficyty, na które jest ona narażona.
Omówione koncepcje. Na potrzeby artykułu zostały omówione koncepcje wyuczonej bezradności (M. E. P. Seligman; L. Y. Abramson i J. Teasdale; M. Kofta i G. Sędek) oraz konstrukty Ja (Ja podmiotowe, Ja przedmiotowe, Ja idealne, Ja realne, Ja powinnościowe).
Wyniki i wnioski. „Wyuczona bezradność” jest czynnikiem, który w znaczący sposób wpływa na kondycję psychiczną człowieka. Mechanizm ten znajduje negatywne odzwierciedlenie w samoocenie człowieka, co w dużym stopniu modyfikuje jego motywację oraz chęć do działania. W rzeczywistości organizacyjnej wspomniane aspekty w sposób bezpośredni przekładają się na efektywność pracy i lojalność pracowniczą, co odbija się na jakości świadczonych usług i migracji kadry.
Oryginalność/wartość poznawcza podejścia. Połączenie tematyki z zakresu psychologii organizacji i psychologii zarządzania, która znajduje swoje odzwierciedlenie w zmieniającej się rzeczywistości pracowników firm, zarówno tych małych, jak i dużych. Ukazuje ono mechanizm funkcjonowania człowieka oraz jego szanse i zagrożenia we współczesnym świecie.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the summary statements in the first gospel. The investigation aims to establish a precise set of Matthean texts belonging to this literary genre. Following a presentation of a variety of solutions (R. Schnackenburg, J. Gnilka, E. Schweizer, D.A. Hagner, R.H. Gundry, J. Nolland, A. Paciorek, U. Luz, R.T. France, W.D. Davies and D.C. Allison, C.S. Keener, G.R. Osborne, C.A. Evans, S. Grasso, W. Egger, B. Gerhardsson, L. Novakovic), literary considerations are examined against the background of various scholarly propositions, giving precise criteria to denote a given gospel text as a summary. On this basis, eight Matthean texts are proposed as summaries – (1) 4:23–25, (2) 8:16–17, (3) 9:35–36, (4) 12:15–21, (5) 14:13–14, (6) 14:34–36, (7) 15:29–31, and (8) 19:1–2 – while showing their thematic interpenetration and mutual dependence.

Full textAbstract:
Mature hedgerows of `Anjou' pear (Pyrus communis L.) trees, planted north(N)-south (S) or east (E)-west (W), were used to study the effect of hedgerow orientation on fruiting and canopy exposure. In 1990, flower bud density tended to be lower on the E-W rows, especially on their N sides. Fruit set (FS) was highest on the S side of E-W rows and lowest on the N side, while the E and W sides of the N-S rows were intermediate. Crop density (CD) had a similar pattern as FS, with more fruit on the S than on the N side of the E-W rows. CD was more evenly distributed between the sides on the N-S hedgerows. Differences in FS and CD between sides were related to different levels of sunlight interception. Light exposure was lowest on the N sides of the E-W rows and highest on the S sides throughout the growing season and especially toward the equinoxes. Increased exposure to the sun on the S and W sides late in the season led to more fruit with solar injury. Fruit from E–W rows were larger and less firm. Accumulated yields over 11 years showed a 21.4% increase in the N-S rows over those of the E-W rows.

Full textAbstract:
Celem pracy było określenie wpływu klas uformowania i otłuszczenia tusz wołowych ocenianych systemem EUROP na jakość mięsa. Badano populację 216 tusz krów rasy nizinnej czarno-białej, reprezentującą trzy klasy uformowania i cztery klasy otłuszczenia w celu określenia zależności pomiędzy jakością mięśnia longissimus thoracis a klasami EUROP. Ocena jakościowa mięśnia obejmowała pomiar pH24, parametry barwy w systemie CIE L*a*b* mierzone przy użyciu spektrofotometru Minolta CR- 400 oraz ocenę marmurkowatości. Na podstawie uzyskanych wyników badań stwierdzono, że zarówno klasyfikacja uformowania, jak i otłuszczenia nie wiążą się z jakością mięsa w klasach R i O oraz w klasach 2, 3 i 4. Wykazano natomiast, że mięso tusz klasy uformowania P oraz klasy otłuszczenia 1 charakteryzowało się wyższym pH24 (p ≤ 0.,01) i większą częstotliwością występowania odchyleń jakościowych typu DFD (ang. Dark Firm Dry). Ponadto mięso tusz klasy otłuszczenia 1 cechowało się najniższymi wartościami parametrów składowych barwy a* i b* (p ≤ 0,01) oraz mniejszą marmurkowatością (p ≤ 0,01) w porównaniu z klasami 3 i 4. Klasy uformowania i otłuszczenia krów miały związek z masą tusz ciepłych, która wzrastała wraz ze zwiększeniem stopnia uformowania (p ≤ 0.,01) oraz ze zwiększeniem stopnia otłuszczenia (p ≤ 0,01). Wielkość powierzchni przekroju mięśnia longissimus thoracis nie zależała od klasy otłuszczenia (p ≤ 0,88), różniła się natomiast w zależności od klasy uformowania i wykazywała istotną różnicę pomiędzy klasą P a klasami O i R (p ≤ 0,05).

Abstract The aim of the study was to demonstrate the degree of healthiness of the pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) acorns found in the Włoszczowa-Jędrzejów Nature Park (abbreviation: W-JOChK) and in the neighbouring area. It was dealt with by making the analysis of health of the acorns (total 3,600). The research material included the samples of fallen down acorns, collected under the pedunculate oaks in Kurzelów (W-JOChK), as well as Żelisławice. The study was conducted from late September 2014 to early October 2015. The analysis of acorns demonstrated that over 50% of the acorns were damaged by insects. The ‘perpetrators’ of the damage proved to be Curculio glandium (Coleoptera: Curculionidae - acorn weevil) and Cydia splendana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae - chestnut tortrix). It was stated that acorns from the pedunculate oak trees, which were found on the protected area, were twice less frequently inhabited by Curculio glandium than those originating from the trees in Żelisławice - near the industrial firm. The damages caused by Cydia splendana in both study sites were similar in number. The results indicate that the acorns of oaks in more polluted environment are probably more vulnerable to infestation by insects.

Full textAbstract:
Founded in 1879 by John L. Hinners, the Hinners Organ Company developed a number of stock models of small mechanical-action instruments that were advertised throughout the Midwest. Operating without outside salesmen, the company was one of the first to conduct all of its affairs by mail, including the financial arrangements, selection of the basic design, and custom alterations where required. Buyers first met a company representative when he arrived by train to set up the crated instrument that had been shipped ahead of him. Tracker organs with hand-operated bellows were easily repaired by local craftsmen, and were suited to an area that, for the most part, lacked electricity. In all, the company constructed nearly three thousand pipe organs during its sixty years of operation. Rapid decline of the firm began in the decade prior to 1936 during which the company sold fewer than one hundred instruments, and closed in that year when John's son Arthur found himself without sufficient financial resources to weather the lengthy depression. The studies of the original-condition Hinners organs in the Dakotas include extensive photographs and measurements, and provide an excellent cross section of the smaller instruments produced by the company. They are loud, excellently crafted, functionally attractive, tonally typical of the early twentieth-century American Romantic organ, and utilize designs and materials typical of this era. Only recently has it been acknowledged that these Hinners organs represent a "meat and potatoes" class of instrument, as it were, an honest meal without the pretense of delicate appetizers, vintage wine, and gourmet dessert. In this way the company offered churches a serviceable and respectable musical alternative to grandeur, and was able to fulfill the needs and meet the budget of a small congregation without the expense of a custom instrument.

Abstract Sometime in early 1919, a British political officer and dilettante Tibetan scholar, Major W. L. Campbell, purchased a collection of Tibetan block prints while visiting the town of Gyantse in southwestern Tibet (see fig. I,I). Upon returning to his station in Sikkim, he presented these books to the American-born, Oxford-educated anthropologist Walter Yeeling Evans-Wentz, who was himself traveling the region in search of exotic books and had recently pur chased an illuminated Tibetan manuscript in Darjeeling. At the end of that year, Evans-Wentz met Kazi Dawa Samdup, a respected translator and teacher of a host of previous foreign travelers and the headmaster of the Maharaja’s Bhutia Boy’s School in Gangtok. Evans-Wentz commissioned Dawa Samdup to prepare English translations of his Darjeeling manuscript and the books he had acquired from Major Campbell.

This chapter reflects on the contested-election case of John Roy Lynch against James R. Chalmers, which was finally disposed of by the House of Representatives in the spring of 1882. The Committee on Elections, of which Hon. W. H. Calkins of Indiana was chairman, gave the case a thorough, careful, and patient investigation. Lynch could have established his right to the seat by setting up the rejected votes of Warren County alone, but he decided to expose and show up, as far as possible, the illegal and questionable methods that have been adopted throughout the district to overcome the heavy Republican majority and have a Democrat returned to Congress from that district. For this purpose, he secured the legal services of ex-Attorney General Joshua S. Morris to manage the case and to conduct the examination of witnesses in the district. To represent him before the committee in Washington, Lynch secured the legal services of the law firm of Shellabarger and Wilson and also Gen. Stewart L. Woodford of New York.

By the fall of 1969 we knew we had to challenge pesticide regulation by the federal government if we were to ultimately prevail against DDT, but we did not know how to do it. We had the science well in hand and knew how to present it, with literally hundreds of scientists prepared to testify within their areas of expertise. We did not have the organizational structure to launch such an effort at the federal level, however, and we were certainly short of money. At about that time Joseph L. Sax, then the leading proponent of the development of environmental law at the University of Michigan Law School, suggested that we contact the newly founded Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP), a public-interest law firm in Washington, DC. Joe was a member of the CLASP board. He insisted that DDT was in violation of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) was not enforcing FIFRA. I therefore called and talked at length with James W. Moorman (Fig. 7.1), attorney for CLASP, describing the DDT problem and proposed action against USDA. “If we are going to do this, then you are going to come down here and help me put the case together,” said Jim firmly. That was not music to my ears: I had other things I needed to do, but shortly I was on my way to Washington. CLASP was in a rundown part of Washington, and my “housing” consisted of sleeping on an old mattress in their dusty attic. But we got to work and wrote a petition to USDA in about a week. The petition was a formal legal request that the FIFRA registrations for DDT be canceled. The petition also requested that USDA suspend the registrations while it was considering their cancellation. We had no illusions that USDA would grant our request, but it was Jim’s advice that we go to USDA for administrative relief before seeking cancellation and suspension from the courts.
