Earthworms (Oligochaeta, Lumbricidae) near the township Dombay of Teberda Reserve (Northwest Caucasus, Karachay-Cherkessia)
Authors: Geraskina A.P.
Published: January 2019

The population and characteristics of biotope distribution of earthworms near the township Dombay of the Teberda Reserve were studied. A mountain-forest belt, sparse growths of trees, elfin woodlands at the top edge of the forest, a sub-alpine meadow and lower mountain pastures were screened. Faunistic and quantitative surveys of earthworms were conducted in the soil and deadwood. The method of excavation and manual disassembly of soil samples was used in soil research. In the study of deadwood, trunks of Fagus orientalis and Picea orientalis of the 2nd and 3rd stages of decomposition were examined manually. Quantitative values were calculated per unit area (1 m2) and unit volume (1 m3). Twelve species of Lumbricidae were described in total. The Crimean-Caucasian endemic polymorphic species Dendrobaena shmidti, represented here by an unpigmented endogeic form, has the greatest abundance, biomass and widespread distribution. The highest species richness of Lumbricidae is in the mountainforest belt, which is inhabited by representatives of four morpho-ecological groups: epigeic, epi-endogeic, endogeic and anecic species. Forest communities are inhabited by 4–9 earthworm species. The lowest species diversity and abundance were observed in the sparse growths of trees, elfin woodlands at the top edge of the forest and the subalpine meadow. The highest abundance and biomass were observed on pasture. The endogeic earthworms were a dominant group in all communities. A high proportion of epigeic species in all forest communities was noted only for deadwood. The epi-endogeic group is represented primarily by Lumbricus rubellus, the abundance of which is particularly high in the pasture. The epi-endogeic species Eisenia fetida was found only in deadwood. The only anecic species, L. terrestris, was encountered in two forest communities and in a garden of Dombay. Small epigeic species Dendrobaena octaedra, Dendrodrilus rubidus tenuis and Dendrobaena attemsi play the main role in deadwood decomposition; deadwood serves as the main habitat for these species in spring and summer. Deadwood is an additional habitat for large-sized endogeic and epi-endogeic species; mature and juvenile worms live here in the litter and moss cover, the rotting wood is penetrated only by juveniles of large-sized species.
Trudna sztuka dorastania a świat bohaterów Aleksandra Kuprina
Authors: Bielniak Nel
Published: January 2019

Ambiguous status of adolescents who are no longer children, while not yet adults clearly attracted Aleksandr Kuprin’s attention. In his works we find a large group of teenage girls and boys. There are also both reflections on rapid physical, physiological and psychological changes characteristic of this period as well as their impact on relationships with other people. Apart from that, Kuprin presents nightmares of puberty (fear, rebellion, alienation , loneliness and the desire to be understood at the same time, the need to be part of a group, sacrum of infatuation and profanum of nascent sensuality).
Innowacje w kolokacjach w Wojnie polsko-ruskiej pod flagą biało-czerwoną Doroty Masłowskiej i ich tłumaczenie na język rosyjski
Authors: Orzechowska Joanna
Published: January 2019

The paper presents the phenomenon of extended collocations in the novel Wojna polsko-ruska pod flagą biało-czerwoną by Dorota Masłowska. Innovative collocations are analysed with reference to an adverb ‘doszczętnie’ [Eng. thoroughly]. New unconventional collocations are among the factors thanks to which the language of the novel is believed to have undergone deconstruction. Unfortunately, in the Russian version of the novel the translator did not reflect the discussed phenomenon, which deprived Russian readers of part of the aesthetic linguistic experience available to Polish readers.

Authors: Kramar Rostysław
Published: January 2019

The article is devoted to the Ukrainian political folklore which was published in the inter-war press of the Ukrainian emigration. Some emigrant journals were published in Poland. The pages of these publications published political folklore which was banned in the USSR. The early publications of the anti-Soviet people’s satire have so far been poorly investigated by folklorists who were engaged in political folklore.
Filmy Eldara Riazanowa w Polsce – z zagadnień recepcji
Authors: Mocarz-Kleindienst Maria
Published: January 2019

Eldar Ryazanov directed films including The Irony of Fate, Station for Two, Carnival Night, Beware of the Car, and Office Romance. These films, regarded as cult classics in Russia (the former Soviet Union), are also known to Polish fans of Russian films. This paper takes account of two periods of reception of Ryazanov’s films in Poland: primary reception (1960s – 1980s) and secondary reception (beginning of 2000s). The reception analysis was conducted based on the following materials: press articles, collective monographs, Polish Television archival material and internet forums. Consequently, several areas of interest of critics and viewers were identified, including the following: 1) the plot, 2) aesthetic and artistic impressions, 3) the reference of the director’s works to the works of the Polish film industry, 4) the director’s artistry, 5) the cast, 6) the quality of translation.
Poezja Jewhena Małaniuka w przedwojennych tłumaczeniach Józefa Łobodowskiego
Authors: Choma-Suwała Anna
Published: January 2019

Józef Łobodowski’s pre-war translations were published in the weekly “Wołyń” which he was the editor of in the years 1937–1938, and in “Biuletyn Polsko-Ukraiński”. Among them, the translations of poems by Yuriy Kosach, Natalya Lyvitska-Kholodna, Oleh Olzhych and Yevhen Malanyuk can be found. Łobodowski had personal contacts with was Malanyuk as he was his long-time acquaintance. They both published their works in “Biuletyn Polsko-Ukraiński” and in “Kultura” based in Paris. Łobodowski translated in total over 20 works of the Ukrainian poet, the majority of which were published in “Kultura” after the war, together with a number of literary critical articles, such as Scylle i Charybdy poezji ukraińskiej (The Scyllas And Charybdas of the Ukrainian Poetry), Poezja Jewhena Małaniuka (Yevhen Malanyuk’s Poetry), Ostatnia wiosna (The Last Spring), or a memoir note Po śmierci Małaniuka (After Malanyuk’s Death). In the 1930s, Łobodowski became interested in the poetry from the collection Земля й залізо (Earth and Iron). In the interwar period, three translations were published: An Inscription on a Book of Poems (Напис на книзі віршів), 13 November 1920 (13 листопада 1920 р.) and fragments of the Epiphanies (Прозріння) cycle. In his translations, the author for Lublin was guided mainly by the principle of the hierarchy of values and equivalence. His works include Malanyuk’s poems close to his own poetry. Moreover, in his translation work he tended to avoid texts speaking against Poles and dividing the two nations. Łobodowski is characterised by his interpretational talents and the ability to preserve the main meanings of the original versions. In spite of the fact that his translations are characterised by dynamic equivalence, they are not spontaneous, they do not stem from emotions, but they have a solid theoretical foundation and are based on his excellent knowledge of the Ukrainian poet’s works.
Poezja Pawła Tyczyny w tłumaczeniu Kazimierza Andrzeja Jaworskiego
Authors: Choma-Suwała Anna
Published: January 2019

Pavlo Tychyna was one of the Ukrainian poets whose works were very popular among Polish critics and translators during the interwar period. In the 1930s, the value of his poetry was also noticed by the representatives of Lublin’s literary circles, among them – Kazimierz Andrzej Jaworski. In the years 1933–1970, a few of his translations were published in the magazines “Kamena”, “Biuletyn Polsko-Ukraiński” and “Zet”. The poet from Lublin focused his attention on Tychyna’s early poetry from three collections: Сонячні кларнети (Clarinets of the Sun, 1918), Плуг (The Plow, 1920) and Вітер з України (The Wind from Ukraine, 1924). Jaworski’s interest in the works of the Ukrainian poet was influenced by the similarity of the topics and the attitude to writing techniques. In the works of both poets, analogous artistic strategies can be noticed, related e.g. to shaping images with polyphony, personification and symbols. The translator from Lublin paid special attention to rhythm, which was very significant in Tychyna’s poetry. It is visible not only in the way the images are created, but also in the melody of the poems, which performs semantic functions. Both artists are also close in discovering new kinds of expression. In their poems, they present it with images, colours and sounds which introduce rhythmical properties into the works.

The aim of the study is to characterise a genre pattern of a condolence telegram in Russian. A telegram is one of many genres of diplomatic correspondence, used to give condolences and express sympathy and support on the occasion of calamities and natural disasters. The senders and receivers of telegrams are heads of state (official institutinal communication), as well as nations of both countries and people afflicted with the disaster. The study conducted on a corpus of 150 texts (50 telegrams and 100 press releases) analyses the structure and lexico-pragmatic features of texts to establish the most frequent pattern of telegram in the current textual corpus. The results of the study show that a condolence telegram is a highly conventionalized genre.

„Płótno, piołun, sandały...”. Maksymilian Wołoszyn we wspomnieniach
Authors: Bielniak Nel
Published: January 2019

Maximilian Kirienko-Voloshin (known as Maximilian Voloshin), a Russian poet and painter, was a colourful, maverick person; it is not possible to assess him unequivocally. He made a strong impression on people around him, which is reflected in abundant literary memoirs. When the opinions of Ivan Bunin, Marina Tsvetaeva, Eugenia Gertsyk, Nadezhda Teffi and Boris Sadovskoy are analysed, a heterogenetic picture of the artist emerges. His unusual demeanor and clothing, and surprising beliefs - often perceived as iconoclastic - attracted attention or even led to controversy.

Authors: Liubich L D , Lisyany M I
Published: January 2019

The aim of the work was to investigate the antitumor efficacy of allogeneic tumor vaccine (ATV) modified with rat progenitor neural cell supernatant (RPNS) in rats with glioma 101.8. Materials and Methods: The study was performed on 74 white randombred rats. ATV was developed on the basis of glioma 101.8 cell suspension modified with RPNS (0.02 or 0.10 mg/ml). RPNS was prepared from suspension made from whole rat brain tissue on 14th (E14) day of gestation. Model of brain glioma 101.8 was reproduced by intracerebral injection of glioma 101.8 cell suspension. ATV was injected intraperitoneally in a volume of 0.2 ml per animal once on the 10th day after tumor transplantation. For survival analysis Kaplan — Mayer multiple assessments method was used. Cytotoxic activity of rat lymphocytes (effector cells) was evaluated in MTT-colorimetric test by determining the state of mitochondrial dehydrogenase enzymes in target cells (allogeneic glioma 101.8 cells). Results: Intraperitoneal administration of ATV modified with 0.10 mg/ml RPNS significantly increased mean survival time and median survival of glioma-bearing rats compared with unvaccinated group (MST (19.9 ± 2.4), 21.4 days; versus MST (14.6 ± 2.8); 14 days; p = 0.0002, Gehan’s — Wilcoxon test). Intraperitoneal administration of ATV modified with 0.10 mg/ml RPNS resulted in increased cytotoxic activity of immune cells of rats with glioma in vitro compared with this index in unvaccinated group (p = 0.026, U-Mann — Whitney test). Conclusion: Antitumor effect of vaccination with RPNS-modified ATV is realized via increased cytotoxic activity of immune cells, what could be used for further optimization of whole tumor cell vaccine.

Aim: Primary testicular lymphoma (PTL) is an uncommon and aggressive form of extranodal non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). We aimed to analyse the clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes of our PTL cases. Materials and Methods: A review was made of the medical records of 339 NHL patients who were treated in the Medical Oncology Department between January 2005 and December 2013. Results: 8 PTL patients were identified from the 339 NHL patients. The average age of the patients was 67.7 ± 7.9 years (range 53–79 years). The mean follow-up time was 24.8 months (range 7–98 months). Inguinal orchiectomy was performed as a diagnostic and initial therapy and all the patients underwent 4–6 cycles of chemoimmunotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone plus rituximab. 4 of 8 patients received intrathecal prophylactic chemotherapy and 6 of 8 patients continued contralateral testis irradiation. Relapse occured in only 1 patient in central nervous system after 6 months who had not received intrathecal prophylaxis. No contralateral testis relapse was observed. Conclusions: Primary testicular NHL is an uncommon entity and we evaluated 8 patients; with one relapse in central nervous system and no relapse in the contralateral testis.

Authors: Pohranychna Kh
Published: January 2019

Aim: To study a rare clinical case of isolated primary osteoma localized in the frontal bone, provide its detailed clinical and pathomorphological analysis, and evaluate statistical indicators of occurrence frequency and localization of facial skeleton osteomas during 2006–2015. Materials and Methods: The retrospective case records analysis of patients undergoing treatment in the maxillofacial department of Lviv Regional Clinical Hospital and suffering from facial skeleton osteomas was conducted. The clinical examination was carried out in accordance with the inspection protocol required for the examination of patients diagnosed with tumors and tumor­like neoplasms in a particular clinical case. Frontal and lateral views were used in the course of X­ray imaging. Histological studies included macroscopy and microscopy. Results: According to the retrospective case record analysis made over the last 10 years 346 cases of facial bone osteoma were revealed and proved histologically comprising 3.7% of all benign osteogeneous maxillofacial tumors. For the first time in 10 years osteoma localized in the frontal bone had been revealed and thoroughly studied. Macroscopically — a semi­spherical and immovable neoformation 7 cm in diameter of hard consistency, splaying out at 4 cm and being adherent with the frontal bone. Roentgenologically — homogeneous intense shadowing of a round form with relatively distinct outlines complying with clinical sizes. According to the histological data, the tumor consists mostly of the solid osseous tissue and the spongy osseous tissue with the evident thickened trabeculas of the bone located in different directions. Conclusion: The analysis of historical data demonstrated extremely rare localization of primary osteoma of the frontal bone, and indicated the uniqueness of the case and significant clinical importance of its detailed study.

The study presents the updated data on the multiple myeloma (MM) incidence in Ukrainian cleanup workers after the Chornobyl accident and their survival. The epidemiological analysis is based on the extended follow-up period to identify new MM cases for higher statistical power and to collect additional data on the disease course and outcome for the survival analysis. The objective of the study was to analyze the MM incidence and survival in Chornobyl cleanup workers in 1996–2013 in comparison with the national MM statistical data. Materials and Methods: A study cohort consisted of 152,520 male cleanup workers resided in one of 6 regions of Ukraine or Kyiv city and registered in the Ukrainian State Chornobyl Registry (SChR). The Cohort Database was linked to the Ukrainian National Cancer Registry (NCR) Database to identify MM cases and to analyze MM incidence in 1996– 2013. Standardized incidence ratios (SIR) for MM over the period 1996–2013 were calculated as compared to the general population of Ukraine. A 10-year lag period (when incident cases are not considered radiation-related) was applied. One-year and 5-year cause-specific survival of MM cases were calculated as percentage of those who were alive correspondingly for 1 or 5 years after diagnosis among overall diagnosed. By the moment, the 5-year survival rate either for the sub-period 2008–2013 or for the whole study period 1996–2013 cannot be determined. Vital status data were updated according to the recent SChR and NCR information. Results: 75 MM cases diagnosed in 1986–2013 were identified in the studied cohort. 69 of them were included to the incidence analysis considering a 10-year lag period. While the incidence over 15 years after the accident did not differ significantly from the corresponding rate in general population of Ukraine, a tendency to increase was seen in the period from 16 to 21 years after the accident, and significantly increased SIR estimate was revealed for 2008–2013 (SIR 1.86, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.27–2.44). The highest incidence was detected in 2008–2013 among cohort members diagnosed over the age of 50 years mostly due to the significant excess among those aged 60–69 (SIR 2.46, 95% CI 1.32–3.59). Survival rates in cleanup workers were shown to be higher than in the general population of Ukraine (73.9% and up to 65.0%, respectively). Conclusions: SIR for the 2008– 2013 period, 22–27 years after the accident, demonstrated the significant excess of MM incidence among male cleanup workers. Survival of MM cases is higher in cleanup workers in comparison with that in general population. This article is a part of a Special Issue entitled “The Chornobyl Nuclear Accident: Thirty Years After”.

Published: January 2019

Today, there are conflicting data on the content of cancer stem cells responsible for recurrence and resistance to chemotherapy in tumors of human brain. The aim of the study was to analyze the content of CD133+ cells in different brain tumors by immunofluorescence assay and immunohistochemical method. Materials and Methods: The samples of different brain tumors removed during neurosurgical operations were studied for CD133 expression. Results: Immunofluorescence assay of tumor imprints revealed CD133+ cells in 40–85% of tumors regardless of histological type. In malignant tumors, the count of CD133+ cells was higher than in benign tumors. Immunohistochemical method used for detection of CD133+ cells was less sensitive than immunofluorescence technique. The number of CD133+ cells may vary even in tumors of the same histological type. In 20–30% of malignant tumors (glioblastomas, medulloblastomas), the content of CD133+ cells was very low or not detected at all. Conclusions: In tumors of the brain of different genesis and degree of anaplasia CD133+ cells are found out. In malignant tumors (glioblastomas and medulloblastomas), CD133+ cells are much more frequently detected than in benign brain tumors. The content of CD133+ cells in brain tumors is highly variable being small and some malignant tumors, indicating low predictive and diagnostic value of cancer stem cell content in clinical practice.

DOWN REGULATION OF u-PA BY A NUTRIENT MIXTURE IN HEMANGIOMA (EOMA) CELLS BY INDUCING CASPASE-DEPENDENT APOPTOSIS
Authors: Roomi M W , Bhanap B , Niedzwiecki A , Rath M
Published: January 2019

Hemangiomas are the most common congenital vascular and benign tumor in infants and children. Most hemangiomas do not cause major symptoms to require intervention, however, the larger hemangiomas have tendency to bleed and may require surgical removal. Experimental studies have demonstrated the role of urokinase plasminogen activator (u-PA), especially cell surface u-PA, as an initiator of extra-cellular matrix proteolysis and associated tumor cell invasion. Aim: To examine, whether the antitumor effects of a specific nutrient mixture are due to induction of apoptosis by inhibition of u-PA. Materials and Methods: A nutrient mixture containing lysine, proline, ascorbic acid, and green tea extract which has showed anticancer activity against a number of cancer cell lines was used as an experimental composition. EOMA cells were grown in appropriate media with antibiotics in 24well tissue culture plates. At near confluence, the cells were treated with nutrition mixture at 10, 100, 1000 µg/ml in triplicate. Analysis of u-PA activity was carried out by fibrin zymography. Morphological changes and caspase activation associated with apoptosis induction was checked by H&E staining and Live Green caspase assay, respectively. Apoptosis inducing anticancer drug camptothecin (10 µM) was used as positive control. Results: The nutrition mixture exhibited dose response toxicity with maximum toxicity 55% (p < 0.001) at 1000 µg/ml. EOMA cells expressed u-PA, which was inhibited by nutrition mixture in a dose-dependent manner. The caspase analysis revealed a dose dependent increase in apoptosis of EOMA hemangioma cells, with an increasing apoptosis observed at 100 µg/ml, and maximum at 1000 µg/ml. Cells treated with nutrition mixture showed significantly more apoptotic changes than the control or camptothecin-treated cells. Conclusion: These results suggest that NM may induce apoptosis of hemangioma cells in vitro thus warranting further investigation.

Published: January 2019

Combining stem cells with biomaterial scaffolds serves as a promising strategy for engineering tissues for both in vitro and in vivo applications. This updated review details commonly used biomaterial scaffolds for engineering tissues from stem cells. We first define the different types of stem cells and their relevant properties and commonly used scaffold formulations. Next, we discuss natural and synthetic scaffold materials typically used when engineering tissues, along with their associated advantages and drawbacks and gives examples of target applications. New approaches to engineering tissues, such as 3D bioprinting, are described as they provide exciting opportunities for future work along with current challenges that must be addressed. Thus, this review provides an overview of the available biomaterials for directing stem cell differentiation as a means of producing replacements for diseased or damaged tissues.
Presence of β-lactamase encoding genes in clinical isolates of Y. enterocolitica bioserotype 1B/O8mm isolated in Poland in 2009
Authors: Zacharczuk Katarzyna
Published: January 2019

Introduction: The intrinsic resistance to β-lactam antibiotics of Y. enterocolitica is mainly due to activity of two type β - lactamases, BlaA and BlaB, which are encoding by genes located on chromosome, blaA and ampC, respectively. High-pathogenicity bioserotype 1B/O8 of Y. enterocolitica has been isolated from clinical samples since 2004 year in Poland. The study shown that clinical isolates of Y. enterocolitica 1B/O8 collected from 2004 to 2009 in Poland constituted the same sensu stricto strain. The aim of present study was to determine the occurrence of genes encoding β-lactamases BlaA and BlaB with the MIC value characterization for selected antibiotics in clinical isolates of Yersinia enterocolitica bioserotype 1B/O isolated in Poland in 2009.
Methods: Ampicilin and ticarcillin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for 64 clinical Y. enterocolitica bioserotype 1B/O8 isolates were determined by Etest and broth microdilution respectively. The blaA i blaB genes were detected by PCR.
Results: All investigated isolates were resistant to ticarcillin (MIC 16 – 128 mg/ml), whereas 9,5% to ampicilin (MIC 12 mg/l) according to EUCAST interpretive criteria. All isolates yielded the expected amplicons of blaA and ampC genes.
Conclusions: Observed differences in the resistance to ampicillin among analyzed isolates belonging to the epidemic sensu stricto strain can indicate the variable activity of genetic determinants of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics of Y. enterocolitica bioserotype 1B/O8.

The Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act
Authors: Sharif Behjat
Published: January 2019

The Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act of 2000 (SACPA), also known as Proposition 36, became effective on July 1, 2001. It allows certain nonviolent drug offenders into community-based drug treatment programs instead of incarceration. Funds have been allocated to the California counties for implementation of the law over a five year period. The program involves the cooperation and collaboration of professionals and agencies within the state’s two social service systems: criminal justice and public health. Initial evaluation indicates SACPA’s effectiveness in reducing jail and prison populations, saving funds, and providing drug treatment to a large number of SACPA recipients. The implementation process has faced a number of challenges that must be resolved to ensure Californians’ trust that treatment is more effective than punishment of drug abusers. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the SACPA initiative and present an analysis of its benefits and challenges. Additionally, suggestions are made for health educators’ intervention to ensure effectiveness of SACPA programs in improving public health.

Conventional designs use multiple image or single image to deal with haze removal. The presented paper uses median filer with modified co-efficient (16 adjacent pixel median) and estimate the transmission map and remove haze from a single input image. The median filter prior(co-efficient) is developed based on the idea that the outdoor visibility of images taken under hazy weather conditions seriously reduced when the distance increases. The thickness of the haze can be estimated effectively and a haze-free image can be recovered by adopting the median filter prior and the new haze imaging model. Our method is stable to image local regions containing objects in different depths. Our experiments showed that the proposed method achieved better results than several state-of-the-art methods, and it can be implemented very quickly. Our method due to its fast speed and the good visual effect is suitable for real-time applications. This work confirms that estimating the transmission map using the distance information instead the color information is a crucial point in image enhancement and especially single image haze removal.

Published: January 2019

A Lei no. 11.892, de 29.12.2008, de criação dos Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia reconhece a importância da educação do empreendedorismo no ensino profissional. Este artigo teve como objetivo verificar de que forma um campus de um Instituto Federal no Nordeste contribui para o estímulo ao empreendedorismo, em atendimento à legislação. Para tanto, foi utilizada como marco teórico a educação empreendedora, focando na conceituação, importância, ações previstas e limitações. Esta pesquisa segue orientações internacionais que destacam ações empreendedoras como forma de desenvolvimento de regiões e ressalta o papel das instituições de ensino na geração de uma cultura de empreendedorismo dentro da sociedade. O procedimento metodológico está fundamentado numa abordagem qualitativa dos dados primários coletados através de formulários com os alunos matriculados na disciplina empreendedorismo, nos curso técnicos, e de entrevistas com os docentes da área de administração. Foram utilizadas a estatística descritiva e a análise de conteúdo. Verificou-se que existe uma oportunidade latente de melhoria do estímulo ao empreendedorismo. Existem ações desconexas e focadas na transmissão de conteúdos voltados à área em disciplinas específicas. A interdisciplinaridade não é traduzida em práticas conjuntas de inovação e autonomia. Reforça-se a necessidade de intensificar as ações, conjuntas, de estímulo ao empreendedorismo e de repensar o papel do professor voltado ao desenvolvimento da capacidade de autoaprendizagem dos alunos.
