Healthcare systems from numerous countries are predominantly built on a disease-treatment model rather than a proactive health-prevention model. As the life expectancy has increased over time, the quality of one’s longevity is compromised by numerous chronic diseases which can be prevented. Unforeseeably, midlife mortality (among people aged 24 to 44) has increased in the last two decades as a 60-years review of mortality in the United States reveals. The most critical causes of these changes are linked to unhealthy behaviors such as unhealthy food consumption, sedentarism, smoking, alcohol use, drug addiction, workaholism, inadequate stress management or sleeplessness, all representing starting points or risk factors for diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular, neuropsychological and autoimmune diseases. Lifestyle Medicine is based on six pillars: whole-food, plant predominant diet, regular physical activity, quality sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances and social connection, all playing a major role in treating health problems. Furthermore, being given the lack of studies focused on lifestyle medicine, leading national experts were summoned to analyze the existing data and gaps regarding behaviors, chronic diseases including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, inflammatory and autoimmune imbalances or other pathologies.

Published: March 2023

While the field of lifestyle medicine has been growing rapidly world-wide over the past two decades in particular, the prevalence of chronic (lifestyle-related) disease is increasing, particularly in developed nations. Lifestyle Medicine approaches are a promising basis for preventing, managing and reversion chronic disease; however, these approaches are based almost exclusively on individual behavioral change. Such changes are best developed and supported with a health-coaching methodology.

We report the discovery of the unusually bright long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB), GRB 221009A, as observed by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory (Swift), Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image, and Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer Mission. This energetic GRB was located relatively nearby (z = 0.151), allowing for sustained observations of the afterglow. The large X-ray luminosity and low Galactic latitude (b = 4.°3) make GRB 221009A a powerful probe of dust in the Milky Way. Using echo tomography, we map the line-of-sight dust distribution and find evidence for significant column densities at large distances (≳10 kpc). We present analysis of the light curves and spectra at X-ray and UV–optical wavelengths, and find that the X-ray afterglow of GRB 221009A is more than an order of magnitude brighter at T
0 + 4.5 ks than that from any previous GRB observed by Swift. In its rest frame, GRB 221009A is at the high end of the afterglow luminosity distribution, but not uniquely so. In a simulation of randomly generated bursts, only 1 in 104 long GRBs were as energetic as GRB 221009A; such a large E

γ,iso implies a narrow jet structure, but the afterglow light curve is inconsistent with simple top-hat jet models. Using the sample of Swift GRBs with redshifts, we estimate that GRBs as energetic and nearby as GRB 221009A occur at a rate of ≲1 per 1000 yr—making this a truly remarkable opportunity unlikely to be repeated in our lifetime.

We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of the extraordinary gamma-ray burst (GRB) 221009A in search of an associated supernova. Some past GRBs have shown bumps in the optical light curve that coincide with the emergence of supernova spectral features, but we do not detect any significant light-curve features in GRB 221009A, nor do we detect any clear sign of supernova spectral features. Using two well-studied GRB-associated supernovae (SN 2013dx,

) at a similar redshift as GRB 221009A (z = 0.151), we modeled how the emergence of a supernova would affect the light curve. If we assume the GRB afterglow to decay at the same rate as the X-ray data, the combination of afterglow and a supernova component is fainter than the observed GRB brightness. For the case where we assume the best-fit power law to the optical data as the GRB afterglow component, a supernova contribution should have created a clear bump in the light curve, assuming only extinction from the Milky Way. If we assume a higher extinction of E(B − V) = 1.74 mag (as has been suggested elsewhere), the supernova contribution would have been hard to detect, with a limit on the associated supernova of

19.54. We do not observe any clear supernova features in our spectra, which were taken around the time of expected maximum light. The lack of a bright supernova associated with GRB 221009A may indicate that the energy from the explosion is mostly concentrated in the jet, leaving a lower energy budget available for the supernova.
Excluding prepontine cistern from whole ventricle radiotherapy target volume in localized germinoma
Authors: Ryu Hyejo , Lee Joo Ho
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The target delineation of whole ventricle radiotherapy (WVRT) in germinoma varies among radiation oncologists, especially regarding the inclusion of the prepontine cistern (PC). We evaluated the outcome of PC-sparing WVRT in localized germinoma. Materials and Methods: We identified 87 localized intracranial germinoma patients who received radiotherapy (RT) following chemotherapy between 1999 and 2020. By institutional policy, RT for localized germinoma excluded PC from the target volume. WVRT was delivered to 65 patients (74.7%) and involved field radiotherapy (IFRT) to 22 patients (25.3%). The median dose was 45.0 Gy (range, 23.4 to 55.8 Gy) for the primary tumor and 19.8 Gy (rangem 14.4 to 36.0 Gy) for the whole ventricle. We analyzed the dosimetric differences of the organs at risk between the PC-excluding plans and the PC-including ones. Results: The median follow-up duration was 7.8 years (range, 1.0 to 22.5 years). The 10-year recurrence-free survival and overall survival rates were 86.3% and 90.9%, respectively. The recurrences occurred in eight patients (8.7%), including five patients after IFRT and three after WVRT. Five of them showed recurrences at lateral ventricles and only one patient experienced spinal cord relapse. However, no relapse in the PC occurred. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy was not a significant prognostic factor. The dosimetric comparisons showed significantly lower mean doses to the brainstem and the cochleae when the PC was excluded. Conclusion: WVRT for localized germinoma can safely exclude the PC in the target volume, reducing radiation dose to the brain stem. The target protocol needs to reach a consensus regarding the PC in prospective trials.
Quand Palo Alto vient en aide aux enfants en situation de harcèlement scolaire !
Authors: Hoch Raphaël , Piquet Emmanuelle
Published: March 2023

Le harcèlement scolaire est un sujet de préoccupation grandissant depuis une dizaine d’années, aux conséquences parfois désastreuses pour la santé physique et psychologique des enfants qui en sont victimes. Il existe de nombreuses approches qui tentent de remédier à ce phénomène, toutefois, elles partent toutes du même postulat : il faut intervenir à la place de l’enfant en souffrance. La grande majorité des stratégies de lutte contre le harcèlement cherchent à intervenir en toute logique entre le harceleur et sa victime pour défendre cette dernière et demander au premier de cesser l’agression. Nous montrerons dans cet article que cette manière d’agir présente des faiblesses et peut se montrer contre-productive, en toute logique interactionnelle. Nous proposerons une lecture systémique du problème qui permettra de développer une autre stratégie d’action, celle de travailler avec l’enfant ou l’adolescent harcelé afin qu’il trouve en lui les ressources nécessaires pour faire cesser l’agression. Afin de montrer l’efficacité de cette approche, nous analyserons les 79 cas qui ont été suivis dans le cadre d’une thérapie brève et stratégique selon le modèle de Palo Alto.
Positive weak solutions for heterogeneous elliptic logistic BVPs with glued Dirichlet-Neumann mixed boundary conditions
Authors: Cano-Casanova Santiago
Published: March 2023

This article concerns the existence of positive weak solutions of a heterogeneous elliptic boundary value problem of logistic type in a very general annulus. The novelty of this work lies in considering non-classical mixed glued boundary conditions. Namely, Dirichlet boundary conditions on a component of the boundary, and glued Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions on the other component of the boundary. In this paper we perform a complete analysis of the existence of positive weak solutions of the problem, giving a necessary condition on the $ \lambda $ parameter for the existence of them, and a sufficient condition for the existence of them, depending on the $ \lambda $-parameter, the spatial dimension $ N \geq 2 $ and the exponent $ q > 1 $ of the reaction term. The main technical tools used to carry out the mathematical analysis of this work are variational and monotonicity techniques. The results obtained in this paper are pioners in the field, because up the knowledge of the autor, this is the first time where this kind of logistic problems have been analyzed.
Budding entrepreneurs. The role of University in spreading early entrepreneurial mindset in school kids
Authors: Floris Michela , Dettori Angela , Reginato Elisabetta
Published: March 2023

Purpose of the paper: In a society facing epochal challenges, all educational levels are called to propose new answers and strategies. This paper suggests the collaboration between Universities and Primary Schools as a means to spread entrepreneurial mindsets in children and to conceive useful answers to social challenges. Methodology: This research is based on an in-depth analysis of an ongoing project that engages one University and three Primary Schools, involving 175 children aged from 6 to 10 years. To evaluate the project's efficacy, families and teachers were invited to fill out a questionnaire, and a statistical analysis has been done. Results: Findings show the efficacy of the project in terms of the improvement of social orientation, creativity, self-esteem, perseverance, autonomy, and proactivity of children. These skills have been registered within the educational context and the social life of children, underlining a positive effect on society. Research limitations: The main drawbacks refer to two distinct sides: the study and the evaluation of the project's efficacy. Regarding the study, focusing on a single project inhibits the possibility of generalizing results. Further studies can consider enlarging the sample, by analyzing similar projects oriented to primary schools, or propose comparative studies focused on different school levels, to deepen the knowledge of the best age to launch entrepreneurial projects. Concerning the evaluation of the project's efficacy, as it has been done in the short term, results could be affected by the initial enthusiastic appreciation of the proposed activities. However, to assess the long-term efficacy, further studies can replicate the analysis to observe the project's effects on the children's life, jointly considering school and family. Academic and practical implications: Theoretically, this study contributes to the literature on entrepreneurial education in primary schools by introducing the influential role of University. For practitioners, this research offers best practices to inspire other successful cases to spread an early entrepreneurial mindset. Originality of the paper: The study elucidates the relevance of the early entrepreneurial mindset as a means to face the current social challenges and suggests developing that entrepreneurial mindset by building a bridge between University and Primary schools. Specifically, through the in-depth analysis of a project, this study spotlights how Universities can support primary schools in overcoming difficulties due to resources constraint and lack of adequate entrepreneurial and managerial competencies by promoting extracurricular projects managed by researchers in Management and Entrepreneurship.
La complejidad y diversidad de las figuraciones grupales juveniles. Más allá del grupo de iguales
Authors: Revilla Juan Carlos , Gonzalo Puyod Alejandro
Published: March 2023

La importancia y centralidad concedida al grupo de iguales en las relaciones entre jóvenes ha llevado a obviar la diversidad de las agrupaciones juveniles, así como otras formas de socialidad juvenil relevantes. El objetivo de este trabajo es conocer las distintas figuraciones grupales y su importancia en la vida juvenil. Mediante entrevistas en profundidad realizadas a jóvenes en dos momentos distantes (1994 y 2017), se identifican las figuraciones más importantes y se describen sus dinámicas características. Los resultados muestran que el grupo de iguales (grupo base) comparte importancia con otras formas de socialidad de menor intimidad, pero no menor importancia, los grupos secundarios, así como con relaciones establecidas en términos interpersonales, como las diadas. Asimismo, se muestra la mayor importancia en la actualidad de las relaciones por afinidad y algunas transformaciones en la composición de género de las agrupaciones juveniles.
Craindre le politique : la réponse humanitaire aux catastrophes dites « naturelles » en Birmanie (2015), Éthiopie (2016) et au Zimbabwe (2016-2019)
Authors: Desportes Isabelle
Published: March 2023

Sur la base d’un an de travail de terrain mené en Éthiopie, en Birmanie et au Zimbabwe, trois pays touchés simultanément par une catastrophe dite « naturelle » et un conflit sociopolitique sur fond de pratiques autoritaires, cet article interroge le rapport que les acteurs humanitaires entretiennent avec le politique dans le cadre de réponses apportées aux catastrophes. L’instrumentalisation politique, la crainte du politique, la dépolitisation et l’internalisation d’une approche technocratique peuvent avoir des conséquences majeures. Les humanitaires « agissent » politiquement même quand ils ne croient que « réagir » en s’adaptant aux conditions difficiles auxquels ils doivent faire face.
La professionnalisation des associations de développement en Algérie, facteur de dépolitisation de la société civile ?
Authors: Mihoubi Noureddine
Published: March 2023

Cet article analyse les transformations qui affectent les associations de développement algériennes, après leur adhésion à des programmes de coopération internationale initiés par des bailleurs de fonds étrangers dès les années 2000. Il met l’accent sur la notion de professionnalisation des associations de développement et questionne l’idée de dépolitisation de la société civile qui lui est associée. L’hypothèse défendue est que cette professionnalisation amorce plutôt un processus de politisation : le discours diffusé par les bailleurs au sein de ces associations est axé sur la participation à la fabrication des politiques publiques de développement. Au final, on constate une transformation de la perception des associations de leur rapport à l’État, et leur revendication du statut de partenaire des pouvoirs publics.

Authors: Budiyarti Lina , Agustini Nur , Hayati Happy , Panjaitan Ria Utami , Hakim Nuraini
Published: March 2023

The high prevalence of children with Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Indonesia has become a concern for nursing because ADHD might emerge as neurological developmental problems if not treated early through appropriate intervention. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of web-based play therapy on the emotional, behavioural and social development of school-age children with ADHD. This study employs a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design with purposive sampling technique, and 126 children with ADHD (patients at a psychiatric hospital in Indonesia) as participants. The results show that play therapy is an effective intervention for the emotional, behavioural and social development of school-age children with ADHD (p = 0.048, p = 0.030, p = 0.030; α= 0.05). This study is recommended as a reference for optimising nursing care for children with ADHD using information technology in the form of web-based play therapy designed in line with the fundamentals of intervention for children with ADHD, using attractive features and flexible access.
Extraskeletal Para-Articular Osteochondroma of Hoffa’s Fat Pad
Authors: Ramachandran Unnikrishnan , Vidya G.
Published: March 2023

Extraskeletal para-articular osteochondromas are rare benign intracapsular tumours. They occur due to osteocartilaginous metaplasia in the para-articular soft tissue in the elderly. We report the same in the knee in a young patient, arising from Hoffa’s fat pad. A 26-year-old male presented with a gradually enlarging anterior left knee swelling of 3-year duration and inability to flex the knee fully. Clinical and radiological evaluation detected an ossified mass in Hoffa’s fat pad with features of osteochondroma. He underwent an excision of the mass and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of extraskeletal para-articular osteochondroma. He was asymptomatic with functional improvement at 5-month follow-up. Extraskeletal para-articular osteochondromas are slow-growing, benign extrasynovial tumours arising in soft tissues with rare occurrence. They can present even in young and can only be diagnosed with a high index of suspicion, radiological features and clinicopathological correlation. They have to be distinguished from synovial chondromatosis and chondrosarcoma. It can be treated by surgical excision without any recurrence. If left untreated may lead to patellar tendinopathy and functional limitations.

SSNB has been applied in the management of acute and chronic shoulder pain as well as for the diagnosis of suprascapular neuropathy. Since this procedure is very handy for physiatrist and pain physicians, here we tend to provide the basic anatomy of the nerve and associated structures along with the review of the basic techniques described in literature with the insights of the author for the same.
Research Interests in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences
Authors: Ramkumar S.
Published: March 2023

Introduction

The disciplines of audiology and speech-language pathology are fascinating academic domains, with pronounced 'clinical practice' component. The direction of research and coverage of clinical disorders in master's dissertations can serve as a baseline for future research.

Method

The dataset covered 1111 master's dissertations from eight institutes in India spanning 2012-2017 and followed a bibliometric and analytical approach.

Results

Domain-wise, the pattern was hearing and its disorders (45.82%)>speech and its disorders (29.79%) > language and its disorders (21.42%). In terms of sub- domains of speech, language and hearing, it was observed that voice and its disorders >phonology, articulation and their disorders >fluency and its disorders; child language disorders >adult language disorders. and diagnostic Audiology >rehabilitative Audiology. The clinical topics covered most in audiology were: rehabilitative audiology-hearing aids, cochlear implants; vestibular balance disorders; sensorineural hearing loss; tinnitus and hyperacusis. The five topmost clinical topics in speech-language pathology were: stuttering; cleft lip/palate; aphasia, feeding and swallowing; autism spectrum disorders and intellectual(Learning) disability.

Conclusion

More studies on topics with emphasis on rehabilitative aspects could be attempted. The choice of topics covering advocacy and public health in the form of KAP studies is commendable and can bring about behavioral change and awareness about communication disorders. The speech and hearing institutes can initiate plans for synergy and active collaborations between and among the different players. A directed research agenda by the institutes to align with the national/global needs is suggested.
Situational Variations in Disfluencies in Bilingual Person With no Stuttering and Person with Stuttering
Authors: Ghadei Abhilash , Kumari Archita , Thontadarya Suresh , Srividya A.
Published: March 2023

Introduction:

Literature evidence that “Disfluency” is normal, nonstuttered disruptions can be seen in nonstutterers, whereas “Dysfluency” refers to stuttered interruptions of speech common in stutterers. Variation of dis/dysfluencies may vary according to situation and language. The existing evidence is limited for explaining the variation of stuttering (dysfluency) or stuttering-like behaviors (disfluency) across different daily life situations and based on langue use in a person with stuttering (PWS) and person with no stuttering (PWNS). The aim was to compare self-reported situational variations of dis/dysfluencies in L1 and L2 among bilingual PWNS as well as bilingual PWS. The study design involves a comparative study.

Method:

Participants in the age range of 18-24 years were considered in two groups that are a group of PWS and PWNS. In both groups, 112 were recruited (85 were PWNS and 27 were PWS). For the PWS group, individuals with developmental stuttering with a severity above a mild degree, as assessed on SSI-4 by a speech-language pathologist, were selected. As the study tool, a self-reported questionnaire was prepared and administered to check the situational variation of dis/dysfluencies among the participants (for both L1 and L2), which included their rating (0-5 Likert scale). Descriptive statistics and repeated ANOVA were done.

Results:

Outcomes revealed that there was a significant difference seen in the frequency of dis/dysfluencies when situations in L1 and situations in L2 were compared, respectively, in PWNS and also when L1 and L2 were compared in PWNS, whereas there were no significant differences seen when situations in L1 and situations in L2 were compared, respectively, in PWS and also when L1 and L2 were compared in PWS.

Conclusion:

Further Investigation on the topic of situational variation of dys/ disfluency could be attempted considering more daily life situations.
Personal Recollections about the Development of Bipolar II Disorder
Authors: Dunner David L.
Published: March 2023

Background:

This paper reviews the development of Bipolar II disorder, defining the development of diagnosis and the current state of the art in treatment.

Methods:

Through his training and working in psychiatry, the author recounted the early days when Bipolar II disorder was conceptualized and developed as a separate clinical entity at the Department of Psychiatry at Washington University, US National Institute of Mental Health, and New York State Psychiatric Institute/Columbia University. The author also participated in the process leading to the inclusion of Bipolar II in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) in 1994. In this review, the author presents his recollections how bipolar II disorder came about and entered the diagnostic criteria that we now use in psychiatry.

Results:

The diagnostic criteria of Bipolar II disorder in DSM-IV and DSM-5 were reviewed. Then, the author stressed the importance of differentiating Bipolar II disorder clinically, how to make the diagnosis of Bipolar II disorder, differentiating mania from hypomania, differentiating hypomania from unipolar depression (i.e., major depressive disorder), and provided useful clinical tips related to ascertaining this diagnosis. Then, he reviewed and raised some issues in treating Bipolar II disorder. The neuroscience-based nomenclatures were given for all drugs used in treating Bipolar II disorder in this review.

Conclusion:

Bipolar II disorder has come a long way to be accepted as a valid clinical entity. The author believes that more clinical knowledge can further improve the diagnosis and treatment for patients with Bipolar II disorder.
A Psychodynamic Study on Premature Termination of Therapy Sessions
Authors: Yang Ta-Ho
Published: March 2023

Objectives:

In this study, the author compared the psychodynamics of three patient groups before the termination of individual psychotherapy to understand how the patients differed in related themes and their dysfunction levels, conflicts and modes of conflict processing, defense immaturity level, and disintegration levels of some aspects of the psychodynamic structure.

Methods:

I used detailed process notes of 97 adult psychotherapy patients treated by a psychotherapist in a Taiwan psychiatric hospital. The study patients were divided into three groups: the treatment completers, premature terminators with prior information (informers), and premature terminators without prior information (non-informers), according to their completion of the treatment protocol and offering premature termination (PT) information in advance. I also used the core scheme of Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagosis-2 to evaluate the psychodynamics of the last two sessions before ending therapy.

Results:

Three groups of patients were not different in primary relational themes and total dysfunctional level of relations, also in conflict significance and mode of conflict processing. The completers and informers were not different in conflict types, but the completers presented themselves higher frequency of “individuation-dependency” conflict and a lower frequency of “Oedipal” and “un-notable” conflicts than noninformers. The completers showed less disintegrated “internal communication” and “external world communication” than informers and noninformers.

Conclusion:

Premature terminators less communicated internally and externally with the therapist than therapy completers, and non-informers depend less on dyad therapeutic relationships than informers and completers. Psychodynamics represented in preterminate therapy sessions can provide insight into predicting patients' inclination to PT with or without advance information that is difficult to detect in another way.

Cultural and Socio-political Factors Affecting the Occurrence of the Plague Epidemic in Right-bank Ukraine and South-western Provinces of Russia at the turn of the 19th Century The plague epidemics in Right-bank Ukraine and south-western provinces of Russia at the turn of the 19th century were caused by deficiencies in maintaining social distance and inadequate crisis management. The inadequate social distancing was caused by ongoing wars and civil unrest. The first outbreaks of the plague occurred in the territory of the Turkish state, from where it spread to Right-bank Ukraine, as well as to the provinces of the Russian Empire as a result of mobility caused mainly by wars, trade and other phenomena causing population migration (such as mercenary work). After the annexation of the Black Sea territories to Russia, returning soldiers and sailors often unwittingly brought plague from the infected south to the cities and towns of central Russia. The spread of the plague epidemic was facilitated by the efforts of the Russian commanders to limit supply disruptions to the army fighting the Turks. With the effective work of the various branches of the modern administration and the centralized management of the crisis in Right-bank Ukraine, the outbreaks were quickly contained to only a few areas. These circumstances were even more evident in the southwestern provinces of Russia, with a strong central government and its local ties.
Przyrodolecznictwo wobec szczepień ochronnych na podstawie publikacji „Przewodnika Zdrowia” (1895–1914)
Authors: Napierała Anita
Published: March 2023

The article discusses the views of natural medicine advocates regarding smallpox vaccination, based on texts in the popular Polish natural cure magazine ‘Przewodnik Zdrowia’ (‘Health Guide’), published in Berlin in 1895–1914. The article also presents theses and opinions on vaccination in one of the pamphlets issued by the ‘Przewodnik Zdrowia’ publishing house. Advocates of naturopathy in many European countries and the United States formed the backbone of the 19th-century anti-vaccination movement, and strongly opposed vaccination, appealing primarily to health and legal arguments. The article sketches the main lines of argumentation against vaccination, formulated by proponents of naturopathic treatment in the Polish journal, in the context of antivaccination views and movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Spór Hilarego Szpilowskiego ze Stanisławem Zawadzkim przy budowie koszar w Kamieńcu Podolskim – uwagi inżyniera budownictwa

Kamieniec Podolski was the most important fortress of the Polish Republic, defending its southeastern border. Unfortunately, there were no barracks for soldiers in the fortress. Therefore, in the 1780s, their construction began. The project of Jan de Witte, an experienced and distinguished fortifier of the Kamieniec fortress, was rejected, and a new project was commissioned to a young but talented designer, Stanisław Zawadzki (1743–1806). He designed a five-wing building on a square plan, with a central wing that divided the interior into two courtyards. The building was first approved by the Polish king, Stanisław August Poniatowski, and only then they began to look for a site where it could be built. Unfortunately, it was not possible to find a suitable site, which was the reason for changing the location of the barracks several times. The construction of the barracks was entrusted to Hilary Szpilowski (1753–1827), who found many errors in the project. Zawadzki’s rare visits made necessary consultations impossible and forced Szpilowski to take independent decisions regarding changes in the building design. The Committee of the Military Department of the Perpetual Council rejected all of Szpilowski’s allegations. In this article, a detailed analysis of the solutions introduced at that time was carried out based on the preserved site maps and design drawings. It was shown that the project contained serious errors, especially the mismatch with the existing terrain, which generated a gigantic scope of earthworks, a lack of water supply and sewage disposal, and the lack of a tie beam reinforcing the building. Therefore, contrary to the opinion of the Committee of the Military Department of the Perpetual Council, the entire blame for the poorly designed barracks building and the resulting problems during construction should be placed on Stanisław Zawadzki, not Hilary Szpilowski.
Józef Maksymilian Ossoliński – Pierre Bayle. Relacje, zależności, miejsca wspólne
Authors: Pluta Paweł
Published: March 2023

This article aims to analyze the scientific activity of Józef Maksymilian Ossoliński (1754–1826) concerning his research on the literature and culture of the Polish Renaissance through the prism of the achievements of Pierre Bayle (1647–1706), one of the most important representatives of modern scientific, philosophical, and encyclopedic thought. The study is based on Ossoliński’s Wiadomości historyczno-krytyczne do dziejów literatury polskiej (Historical and Critical Notes on the History of Polish Literature) and Bayle’s Dictionnaire Historique et Critique (Historical and Critical Dictionary) – works that mark many years oftheir scholarly activity. The comparative method adopted in this paper makes it possible toindicate the shared features of their endeavours: the principles of editing sources (textualcriticism), the form of presenting research results, or the title of the publication. The articleconcludes that Ossoliński clearly modelled his Wiadomości historyczno-krytyczne on Bayle’swork and sheds new light on the reception of Bayle in Poland. It also reinforces the positionOssoliński’s work holds in the Polish textual criticism canon.

The mortality rate of red-tide dinoflagellates owing to predation is a major parameter that affects their population dynamics. The dinoflagellates Ansanella granifera and Ansanella sp. occasionally cause red tides. To understand the interactions between common heterotrophic protists and A. granifera, we explored the feeding occurrence of nine heterotrophic protists on A. granifera and the growth and ingestion rates of the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Gyrodinium dominans on A. granifera as a function of prey concentration and those of Oxyrrhis marina at a single high prey concentration. The heterotrophic dinoflagellates Aduncodinium glandula, G. dominans, Gyrodinium moestrupii, Luciella masanensis, Oblea rotunda, O. marina, Polykrikos kofoidii, and Pfiesteria piscicida and the naked ciliate Strombidium sp. were able to feed on A. granifera. With increasing mean prey concentrations, the growth and ingestion rates of G. dominans feeding on A. granifera rapidly increased and became saturated or slowly increased. The maximum growth and ingestion rates of G. dominans on A. granifera were 0.305 d-1 and 0.42 ng C predator-1 d-1 (3.8 cells predator-1 d-1), respectively. Furthermore, the growth and ingestion rates of O. marina on A. granifera at 1,700 ng C mL-1 (15,454 cells mL-1) were 0.037 d-1 and 0.19 ng C predator-1 d-1 (1.7 cells predator-1 d-1), respectively. The growth and ingestion rates of G. dominans and O. marina feeding on A. granifera were almost the lowest among those on the dinoflagellate prey species. Therefore, G. dominans and O. marina may prefer A. granifera less than other dinoflagellate prey species. The low mortality rate of A. granifera may positively affect its bloom formation.

Exploring mixotrophy of dinoflagellate species is critical to understanding red-tide dynamics and dinoflagellate evolution. Some species in the dinoflagellate genus Karenia have caused harmful algal blooms. Among 10 Karenia species, the mixotrophic ability of only two species, Karenia mikimotoi and Karenia brevis, has been investigated. These species have been revealed to be mixotrophic; however, the mixotrophy of the other species should be explored. Moreover, although K. mikimotoi was previously known to be mixotrophic, only a few potential prey species have been tested. We explored the mixotrophic ability of Karenia bicuneiformis, Karenia papilionacea, and Karenia selliformis and the prey spectrum of K. mikimotoi by incubating them with 16 potential prey species, including a cyanobacterium, diatom, prymnesiophyte, prasinophyte, raphidophyte, cryptophytes, and dinoflagellates. Cells of K. bicuneiformis, K. papilionacea, and K. selliformis did not feed on any tested potential prey species, indicating a lack of mixotrophy. The present study newly discovered that K. mikimotoi was able to feed on the common cryptophyte Teleaulax amphioxeia. The phylogenetic tree based on the large subunit ribosomal DNA showed that the mixotrophic species K. mikimotoi and K. brevis belonged to the same clade, but K. bicuneiformis, K. papilionacea, and K. selliformis were divided into different clades. Therefore, the presence or lack of a mixotrophic ability in this genus may be partially related to genetic characterizations. The results of this study suggest that Karenia species are not all mixotrophic, varying from the results of previous studies.

The oomycete pathogens Pythium porphyrae, causing red rot disease, and Olpidiopsis spp. causing Olpidiopsis-blight, cause serious economic losses to Pyropia sea farms in Korea. During the washing step for Pyropia processing, these pathogens proliferate rapidly, significantly reducing the quality of the final product. To develop non-acidic treatments for these pathogens, various calcium salts were tested against the infectivity of P. porphyrae and Olpidiopsis pyropiae on Pyropia gametophytes, and calcium propionate was the most effective. When Pyropia blades were immersed in 10 mM calcium propionate for 1 h after inoculation with the oomycete pathogen, infection rate of both oomycete pathogens on day 2 was significantly lower (7.1%) than control (>95%). Brief incubation of Pyropia blades in calcium propionate also reduced the spread of infection. The infected area of Pyropia thallus was reduced to 14.3% of the control in 2 days after treatment with 100 mM calcium propionate for 30 s. In field experiments conducted in actual aquaculture farms, it has been shown that a brief 30 s wash every two weeks with 100 mM calcium propionate can effectively reduce the spread of oomycetes throughout the entire culture period. The above results suggest that calcium propionate can be a useful means for controlling the spread of oomycetes not only during laver processing but also during aquaculture.
