Księgozbiór klasztoru dominikańskiego w Krasnymborze w XVIII wieku
Authors: Zimnoch Katarzyna
Published: August 2020

Dominikański klasztor w Krasnymborze w województwie trockim został ufundowany w 1684 roku przez Konstancję Chreptowiczową z Dolskich, wdowę po Samuelu Litaworze Chreptowiczu, chorążym starodubowskim, i jej syna Andrzeja. Był to niewielki konwent dominikański należący do prowincji litewskiej pw. Anioła Stróża, który funkcjonował na pograniczu Korony Polskiej i Litwy. Od początku jego powstania zakonnicy starali się zgromadzić odpowiedni księgozbiór. Dzięki zachowanym źródłom, Aktom Konsystorza Generalnego Diecezji Augustowskiej, obecnie przechowywanym w Archiwum Diecezjalnym w Łomży, możemy poznać krasnoborską bibliotekę dominikańską w XVIII wieku. Zawartość księgozbioru wskazuje, że miał on służyć zakonnikom w formacji duchowej i ich pracy duszpasterskiej. Zakon kaznodziejski słynął z ewangeliczno-apostolskiego stylu w walce o dusze ludzkie, stąd znaczną część księgozbioru klasztornego stanowiła literatura teologiczna i homiletyczna, miała ona pomagać w działalności kaznodziejskiej oraz w prowadzeniu misji. Dominikanie krasnoborscy sprawowali również opiekę nad obrazem maryjnym (obraz Matki Bożej Różańcowej), co również wpłynęło na zawartość księgozbioru. W konwencie zgromadzono także literaturę, którą można określić jako polemiczną. Warto zwrócić uwagę, że w omawianym dominikańskim księgozbiorze, mimo że należał do niewielkiego konwentu, znalazło się kilka bardzo cennych zabytków piśmienniczych. Są to ważne ślady po istniejącej niegdyś w tym miejscu placówce zakonnej, która miała być siłą duchową i kulturową oddziałującą na region w którym funkcjonowała.

Katedra p.w. Imienia Najświętszej Maryi Panny w Mińsku w opisie wizytacyjnym z 1829 roku
Authors: Hałaburda Marek
Published: August 2020

Kościół p.w. Imienia Najświętszej Maryi Panny w Mińsku, wybudowano w latach 1700-1710, jako kościół klasztorny jezuitów. Po kasacie zakonu, został przekazany parafii. W 1797 r. budynek kościoła strawił pożar. Rok później świątynia wyznaczona została na katedrę utworzonej wówczas diecezji, ze stolicą w Mińsku. Odbudowana w latach 1798-1803 dzięki staraniom i funduszom bpa Jakuba Ignacego Dederki. W 1869 r. na skutek likwidacji diecezji, ponowie został zdegradowany do siedziby parafii. W listopadzie 1917 r. po reaktywowaniu diecezji mińskiej, kościół odzyskał rangę katedry. Jednak już w 1934 r. został odebrany wiernym. Zamknięty przez bolszewików, do 1941 r. był wykorzystywany jako garaż. Drugą wojnę światową przetrwał w stanie nienaruszonym, ale po wyzwoleniu przestał funkcjonować jako miejsce kultu. W 1947 r. władze sowieckie przekazały budynek na potrzeby klubu sportowego „Spartak”. W latach 1948-1951 kościół przebudowano na salę sportową. W 1982 r. przygotowano projekt jego restauracji, przeznaczając budynek na salę muzyki organowej i chórowej. W 1993 r. kościół katedralny powrócił do wiernych. W 1997 r. odbyły się uroczystości rekonsekracji świątyni. Aktualnie dawny pojezuicki kościół pełni rolę archikatedry, głównej świątyni archidiecezji i metropolii mińsko-mohylewskiej. Prezentowany protokół lustracji katedry mińskiej powstał w 1829 r., w ramach wizytacji metropolitalnej prowadzonej na obszarze archidiecezji mohylewskiej w latach 1828-1831 z mandatu abpa Kaspra Kazimierza Cieciszowskiego. Dokument jest przechowywany w Narodowym Archiwum Historycznym Białorusi w Mińsku (ros. Национальный исторический архив Беларуси), w zespole zatytułowanym „Mohylewski Rzymsko-Katolicki Duchowny Konsystorz” (ros. Могилевская р.-к. духовная консистория) pod sygnaturą: fond. 781, op. 27, sp. 427. Spisany został w języku polskim, całość zaś liczy 12 kart zapisanych dwustronnie. Edycję źródła przygotowano zgodnie z zasadami sformułowanymi w instrukcji wydawniczej dla źródeł historycznych od XVI do połowy XIX wieku, autorstwa K. Lepszego, wydanej w 1953 r. w Warszawie.
Edycja dzieła x. Stanisława Kłossowskiego „Cuda y łaski...” i jej losy z perspektywy bibliologicznej
Authors: Celer Bogumiła
Published: August 2020

Kaliska księga cudów i łask doczekała się kilku edycji. Pierwsze wydanie ukazało się w 1780 roku. Księga była świadectwem żarliwej czci, jaką otaczał jej autor – ks. Stanisław Kłossowski – św. Józefa i miała służyć coraz szerszemu propagowaniu jego kultu. Autor interesującego nas dzieła sprawował swą kapłańską posługę w kolegiacie kaliskiej w latach 1751-1798. Artykuł stanowi próbę omówienia losów pierwotnej edycji dzieła ks. S. Kłossowskiego, kształtu fizycznego edycji oraz ewentualnych odmian, dziejów drukarni, z której wyszła książka, a także stanu zachowania w polskich bibliotekach. Asumpt do zainteresowania się księgą cudów dał reprint dzieła wydany w 2018 roku przez Wydawnictwo „Bernardinum” w Pelpinie, który został wykonany na podstawie egzemplarza przechowywanego obecnie w bibliotece kustosza kaliskiej kolegiaty.

Human Life: Our Essentially Biological Nature and the Role of Mental Capabilities
Authors: Reuter Gerson
Published: August 2020

Animalism is the view that we are primarily living beings of the species Homo sapiens. Being alive consists in the realization of biological processes. Accordingly, our conditions of existence and persistence have nothing to do with things like mental continuity. Hence,
mental capabilities seem to be irrelevant to understanding the core of our nature as human beings. In recent years, the debate on animalism has focused on certain intractable ontological puzzles. However important these puzzles may be, they do not get to the heart of the widespread reluctance
to accept animalism. One crucial reason lies in the fact that this view does not seem to respect our deeply entrenched understanding of ourselves as mental beings. The aim of my paper is thus to provide a stronger conception of the ontological relevance of our mental capabilities –
without giving up the cen- tral claims of animalism. In particular, I discuss three proposals: first, the idea that being a human being involves the potential to develop mental capabilities; second, the idea that it is an essential feature of human beings to have a brain with
the natural function of developing mental capabilities; and third, the idea that the ontological relevance of mental capabilities may emerge in the context of specifying something like the general human form of life.
PIPELINE MULTIPLIER OF POLYNOMIALS MODULO WITH ANALYSIS OF HIGH-ORDER BITS OF THE MULTIPLIER

Among public-key cryptosystems, cryptosystems built on the basis of a polynomial system of residual classes are special. Because in these systems, arithmetic operations are performed at high speed. There are many algorithms for encrypting and decrypting data presented in the form of polynomials. The paper considers data encryption based on the multiplication of polynomials modulo irreducible polynomials. In such a multiplier, the binary image of a multiply polynomial can serve as a fragment of encrypted text. The binary image of the multiplier polynomial is the secret key and the binary representation of the irreducible polynomial is the module.
Existing sequential polynomial multipliers and single-cycle matrix polynomial multipliers modulo do not provide the speed required by the encryption block. The paper considers the possibility of multiplying polynomials modulo on a Pipeline in which architectural techniques are laid in order to increase computing performance.
In the conclusion of the work, the time gain of the multiplication modulo is shown by the example of the multiplication of five triples of polynomials. Verilog language was used to describe the scheme of the Pipeline multiplier. Used FPGA Artix-7 from Xilinx companies.
The developed Pipeline multiplier can be used for cryptosystems based on a polynomial system of residual classes, which can be implemented in hardware or software.

A New Switch and Crossing Design: Introducing the Back to Back Bistable Switch
Authors: Shih J. -Y. , Ambur R. , Boghani H. C. , Dixon R. , Stewart E.
Published: August 2020

A new track swtich and crossing (S&C), the back to back bistable (B2B) switch, is proposed that has shown potential to significantly reduce the wheel/rail contact forces through the switch due to its more continuous wheel/rail contact interface and more uniform track stiffness arising from the elimination of the crossing nose. This offers a major reduction on maintenance cost of future S&Cs. The paper explains the concept and identifies the design guidelines for a current layout and uses vehicle/turnout dynamic modelling to predict wheel rail forces through a switch to identify performance improvements relative to a conventional S&C. Both multi-body simulation (MBS) and Finite Element (FE) model have been developed to account for dynamic and thermal analysis. The new design has shown improvements in lateral and vertical wheel-rail contact forces and less relative rail displacements due to thermal effect compared to the conventional S&C.

Microbial Fermentation of Water Melon (Citurullus lanatus) Seeds for Bioethanol Production
Authors: D. V. Adegunloye , T. M. Olotu , M. B. Sanusi
Published: August 2020

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a vine-like flowering originally from Southern Africa. The microbial fermentation of watermelon seeds for me production of bioethanol was investigated. The seeds were washed dried and grounded into powder. The seed powder was then fermented for bioethanol production and the microorganisms responsible for the fermentation were isolated and characterized. Bioethanol was distilled from the fermentation. The distilled bioethanol was subjected to comparative analysis with ’the conventional ethanol. Proximate analysis of the grinded seed was carried out before and after fermentation. The organisms responsible for fermentation were identified as Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Bacillus cereus, Streptococcus lactis, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus sp, Micrococcus spp, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Fusarium oxysporium, Mucor mucedo, Penicillium notatum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus niger. There was an increase in the protein content of the seed from 4.269% in the unfermented to 10.031% in the fermented. While carbohydrate reduced from 70.523% in the unfermented to 50.149% in the fermented seed. Fat content increased as well as crude fibre content. The distilled bioethanol boils at 78.4% and as a melting point of -112°C at 15°C. The refractive index was 1.360 and the flash point was 12°C. It burns with blue flame. Considering the comparison between the bioethanol produced from Citrullus lanatus seeds with the conventional ethanol, it can be used as an alternative source of biofuel.
Effect of Dietary Supplementation of Albizia lebbeck Seed Oil on the Fatty Acid Composition of Weaner Rabbits
Authors: J. O. Alagbe
Published: August 2020

An experiment was carried out to determine the effects of dietary supplementation of Albizia lebbeck seed oil (ALO) on the fatty acid composition of weaner rabbits. 50 weaned rabbits of mixed breed and sexes, aged between 6-7 weeks with an average initial body weight of 460 ± 1.3 were randomly assigned into five dietary treatments of ten rabbits per group; each group was further divided into 5 replicates consisting of two rabbits each. Basal diet was formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of rabbits according to National Research Council [1]. Rabbits in treatment 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were supplemented with ALO at 0 %, 0.1%, 0.2 %, 0.3 % and 0.4 % respectively. Feed and water was given ad libitum and the experiment lasted for 12 weeks. The results showed that significant differences (P<0.05) were observed in saturated fatty acid (SFA), polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and omega-6/omega -3 ratio (n-6: n-3) values obtained. Rabbits fed diet containing 0.4 % ALO had the highest PUFA value (54.17 %), followed by T4 (53.01 %), T3 (45.13 %), T2 (37.61 %) and T1 (26.93 %) respectively. Similarly (n-6: n-3) composition in T5 (3.65 %) increased in T5 fed 0.4 % ALO compared with T1 (1.38 %) fed 0% ALO. Antherogenic index were significantly (P<0.05) different among the treatments. It can be concluded that supplementation of ALO at 0.4 % highly influenced the composition of fatty acid in rabbit meat.
Desregulamentação no mercado de trabalho
Authors: Zioli Bruno José , Maia de Castro Benevides Guirlanda Maria , Alencar Maria de Lourdes
Published: August 2020

A partir de 2016, a questão dos direitos sociais e trabalhistas sofrem alteração legislativa, de caráter essencialmente desregulamentador, precarizando o aparato constitucional brasileiro. O presente trabalho discorre, inicialmente, sobre as criações legislativas do período e que afetaram de alguma forma o cenário social. Na sequência, o estudo trata sobre os impactos dessas mudanças legislativas para o mercado de trabalho brasileiro que envolve os trabalhadores com e sem deficiência, enfatizando  às novas modalidades nas relações do trabalho, como a terceirização irrestrita e o trabalho intermitente, assim como a prevalência do negociado sobre o legislado, que destacam-se como instrumentos indutores para tornar o ambiente laboral desfavorável no país. Nesse cenário, a crise sanitária provocada pela pandemia do coronavírus - Covid19 instala-se no Brasil em início de março de 2020. O governo nacional adotou medidas provisórias demandadas para o enfrentamento da contaminação da Covid-19, no entanto, insatisfatórias, aprofundando as condições já adversas para o trabalho e para a dinâmica da economia.
L-Arginine in Combination With Sildenafil Potentiates the Attenuation of Hypoxic Pulmonary Hypertension in Rats

Published: August 2020

Chronic hypoxia induces an increased production of nitric oxide (NO) in pulmonary prealveolar arterioles. Bioavailability of the NO in the pulmonary vessels correlates with concentration of L-arginine as well as activity of phosphodiesterase-5 enzyme (PDE-5). We tested a hypothesis whether a combination of L-arginine and PDE-5 inhibitor sildenafil has an additive effect in reduction of the hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) in rats. Animals were exposed to chronic normobaric hypoxia for 3 weeks. In the AH group, rats were administered L-arginine during chronic hypoxic exposure. In the SH group, rats were administered sildenafil during chronic hypoxic exposure. In the SAH group, rats were treated by the combination of L-arginine as well as sildenafil during exposure to chronic hypoxia. Mean PAP, structural remodeling of peripheral pulmonary arterioles (%DL) and RV/LV+S ratio was significantly decreased in the SAH group compared to hypoxic controls even decreased compared to the AH and the SH groups in first two measured parameters. Plasmatic concentration of cGMP and NOx were significantly lower in the SAH group compared to hypoxic controls. We demonstrate that NO synthase substrate L-arginine and phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor sildenafil administered in combination are more potent in attenuation of the HPH compared to a treatment by substances given alone.
Does Aliskiren Protect the Kidney Following Ischemia Reperfusion Injury?
Authors: HAMMAD F. T. , AL-SALAM S. , LUBBAD L.
Published: August 2020

The effect of blocking the first and rate-limiting step in renin-angiotensin cascade on the renal function in ischemia reperfusion injury has not been previously investigated. We investigated the effect of aliskiren, the first approved direct oral renin inhibitor, on the alterations in renal functional parameters in this condition. Wistar rats underwent left renal ischemia for 40 min. Group-1 received normal saline whereas Group-2 received aliskiren (30 mg/kg/day) by gavage for 6 days commencing one day before IRI. The hemodynamic and tubular functions and gene expression of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and plasminogen activating inhibitor (PAI-1) in the right and left kidneys were measured five days following the IRI. Comparing Group-1 and Group-2, the left renal blood flow was significantly higher in Group-2 (1.28±0.36 vs. 0.39±0.05, P=0.007). Left kidney glomerular filtration rate was also higher in Group-2 but did not reach statistical significance (0.18±0.05 vs. 0.10±0.02, P=0.07). The left renal FENa was significantly lower in Group-2 (29.9±6.4 vs. 49.7±7.8, P=0.03). Aliskiren also caused a significant decrease in the gene expression of both NGAL and PAI-1 in the left ischemic kidney. In conclusions, the administration of aliskiren before and after IRI appears to have ameliorated the IRI effect on the total renal artery blood flow, and fractional excretion of sodium and gene expression of both NGAL and PAI-1 indicating a renoprotective effects in IRI.

Published: August 2020

As wine polyphenols were shown to possess many positive effects in mammals, including improvement of vascular function, this study investigated the effect of the Slovak Alibernet red wine extract (AWE) on blood pressure and vascular function in young normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) rats. Six weeks old, male, WKY and SHR were treated with AWE for three weeks at the dose of 24.2 mg/kg/day. Blood pressure (BP), determined by tail-cuff plethysmography, was significantly elevated in SHR vs. WKY and AWE failed to affect it. Lipid peroxidation was evaluated by determination of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances. Vascular function was assessed in rings of the femoral artery using Mulvany-Halpern’s myograph. Maximal endothelium-dependent acetylcholine (ACh)-induced relaxation was reduced in control SHR vs. WKY rats by approximately 9.3 %, which was associated with a significant decrease of its NO-independent component. AWE failed to affect maximal ACh-induced relaxation, both its NO-dependent and independent components, compared to controls of the same genotype. AWE however reduced lipid peroxidation in the left ventricle of both WKY and SHR and in the liver of SHR. In conclusion, three-week administration of AWE failed to reduce BP and to improve endothelial function in the femoral arteries of both genotypes investigated.

This study examined nitric oxide (NO) production, oxidative load and endothelium-dependent relaxation (NO-dependent and NO-independent) in adult male borderline hypertensive (BHR) and spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) rats as compared to normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. Systolic blood pressure (BP) was determined by tail-cuff. NO production was determined by conversion of [3H]-L-arginine. Conjugated dienes (CD) and concentrations of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) were measured for assessment of oxidative load. Vascular function was investigated in rings of the femoral artery (FA) using a wire myograph. BP of WKY, BHR and SHR was 106±2, 143±3 and 191±3 mm Hg, respectively (p<0.01 for each). Significant left ventricle (LV) hypertrophy and elevated levels of CD and TBARS in the LV were present in BHR and SHR as compared to WKY. NO production was elevated significantly in the aorta of BHR and SHR vs. WKY as well as in the LV of SHR vs. WKY. Acetylcholine (ACh)-induced relaxation of the FA was reduced significantly in both BHR and SHR vs. WKY. The NO-dependent component of ACh-induced relaxation had increasing tendency in hypertensive groups and it correlated positively with BP. The NO-independent component of vasorelaxation was reduced significantly in BHR and SHR vs. WKY and it correlated negatively with BP. In conclusion, the results showed that endothelial dysfunction in the experimental model of borderline hypertensive and hypertensive rats is NO-independent. The results suggest that borderline hypertension represents a risk of other cardiovascular disorders which is qualitatively similar to that of fully developed hypertension.

This paper assesses competing interpretations of President Wilson's statecraft and diplomacy during and after World War I, and his legacy of Wilsonianism over the next century. Focusing on recent scholarship by historians and political scientists, it examines how different views of Wilson's legacy have been used to justify or criticize post-Cold War U.S. foreign policy.
Is Deliberation an Antidote to Extreme Partisan Polarization? Reflections on America in One Room
Authors: Fishkin James , Siu Alice , Diamond Larry , Bradburn Norman
Published: August 2020

This paper is positioned at the intersection of two literatures: partisan polarization and deliberative democracy. It analyzes results from a national field experiment in which more than 500 registered voters were brought together from around the country to deliberate in depth over a long weekend on five major issues facing the country. A pre-post control group was also asked the same questions. The deliberators showed large, de-polarizing changes in their policy attitudes and large decreases in affective polarization. The paper develops the rationale for hypotheses explaining these decreases and contrasts them with a literature which would have expected the opposite. The paper briefly concludes with a discussion of how elements of this “antidote” can be scaled.
Potential of Peer Guidance to Empower Migrants for Employment

Published: August 2020

Peerness is a common approach to learning, especially in Nordic adult education, but is increasingly adopted by European Union (EU)-funded projects that aim to improve migrants’ employability. This article discusses action research that evaluated an ESF-funded project, run by a Finnish popular adult education association in collaboration with vocational adult education institutes, NGOs, and a trade union. The project trained migrants to become peer group guides and empower migrant-background participants for employment. The training prepared guides to become experiential experts, but increased the distance between the participants and themselves. The guidance could even strengthen the otherness of participants when the peerness was based solely on sharing a migrant background. Voluntary peer guidance may reinforce this separation, but dependence on ESF funding also shapes mainstream adult education; therefore, the empowerment of migrants should build on collaboration between experiential experts and guidance professionals as part of the regular adult education system.

Published: August 2020

Many organizations seek ways to stimulate and encourage staff innovation. One ofthese is leadership that can boost staff innovation behavior. The aim of thisarticle is to reflect on leadership and its contribution to stimulating innovation. To achieve the aim of the article—and to verify the hypotheses—deductive inference, the analysis of the subject literature and the author’s own questionnaire were used. The research was carried out with an original questionnaire to assess the role of a leader in stimulating innovative activity. The questionnaire consists of 28 statements.The analysis of the results of the empirical research has confirmed the research hypotheses that the role of a leader is to stimulate the creativity of employees and reward their innovative behavior.The analysis of the role of leadership in stimulating organizational innovation showed that the vast majority of statements concerning the role of leadership achieved a mean score above 5.0 (86%)—an average level. The research suggests that leaders should first and foremost play the following roles in stimulating innovation (e.g., a performer/creator of employee creativity and a promoter of rewarding the innovative behavior of employees).
A Meta-Analytical Approach on Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Inoculation Efficiency on Plant Growth and Nutrient Uptake
Authors: Chandrasekaran Murugesan
Published: August 2020

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate symbionts of higher plants which increase the growth and nutrient uptake of host plants. The primary objective was initiated based on analyzing the enormity of optimal effects upon AMF inoculation in a comparative bias between mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants stipulated on plant biomass and nutrient uptake. Consequently, in accomplishing the above-mentioned objective a vast literature was collected, analyzed, and evaluated to establish a weighted meta-analysis irrespective of AMF species, plant species, family and functional group, and experimental conditions in the context of beneficial effects of AMF. I found a significant increase in the shoot, root, and total biomass by 36.3%, 28.5%, and, 29.7%, respectively. Moreover, mycorrhizal plants significantly increased phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium uptake by 36.3%, 22.1%, and 18.5%, respectively. Affirmatively upon cross-verification studies, plant growth parameters intensification was accredited to AMF (Rhizophagus fasciculatus followed by Funniliforme mosseae), plants (Triticum aestivum followed by Solanum lycopersicum), and plant functional groups (dicot, herbs, and perennial) were the additional vital important significant predictor variables of plant growth responses. Therefore, the meta-analysis concluded that the emancipated prominent root characteristics, increased morphological traits that eventually help the host plants for efficient phosphorus uptake, thereby enhancing plant biomass. The present analysis can be rationalized for any plant stress and assessment of any microbial agent that contributes to plant growth promotion.

Reduction in atmospheric sulfur and intensified agriculture have led to sulfur deficiency, often correlated with a higher susceptibility to pathogens. The spread of fungal pathogens, such as the soil-born Verticillium longisporum, was observed. Defense responses of infected plants are linked to sulfur-containing compounds including glucosinolates (GSLs). Some pathogens infect their hosts at specific time periods during the day. To investigate the relation of sulfur-containing metabolites with diurnal effects of infection time points, Brassica napus plants cultivated at two different sulfur supplies, were infected with V. longisporum at four different time points during the day. It was demonstrated that 3, 7 and 14 days after inoculation the infected plants differed in their infection rate depending on the time point of infection. Additionally, infected plants had higher contents of sulfur-containing metabolites, such as specific GSLs, in comparison to non-infected plants. Sufficient sulfur fertilization was always reflected in higher contents of sulfur-containing compounds as well as a lower rate of infection compared to sulfur-deprived plants. On the microscopic level vascular occlusions in the hypocotyl were visible and the amount was dependent on the time point of infection. The results might be used to optimize sulfur fertilization to reduce susceptibility to V. longisporum.

Hedgehogs are among the most abundant species to be found within wildlife shelters and after successful rehabilitation they are frequently translocated. The effects and potential impact of these translocations on gene flow within wild populations are largely unknown. In this study, different wild hedgehog populations were compared with artificially created “shelter populations”, with regard to their genetic diversity, in order to establish basic data for future inferences on the genetic impact of hedgehog translocations. Observed populations are located within central Europe, including the species Erinaceus europaeus and E. roumanicus. Shelters were mainly hosting one species; in one case, both species were present syntopically. Apart from one exception, the results did not show a higher genetic diversity within shelter populations, indicating that individuals did not originate from a wider geographical area than individuals grouped into one of the wild populations. Two shelters from Innsbruck hosted individuals that belonged to two potential clusters, as indicated in a distance analysis. When such a structure stems from the effects of landscape elements like large rivers, the shelter management-related translocations might lead to homogenization across the dispersal barrier.
Effects of Laetiporus sulphureus-Fermented Wheat Bran on Growth Performance, Intestinal Microbiota and Digesta Characteristics in Broiler Chickens
Authors: Lin Wei Chih , Lee Tzu Tai
Published: August 2020

This study investigated the effects of a Laetiporus sulphureus-fermented wheat bran (LS) supplementation on the microbiota and digesta characteristics of broiler chickens. Two hundred and forty male broilers (Ross 308) were randomly allocated into three groups fed with a corn–soybean-based diet (control), and the control diet being replaced with 5% wheat bran (WB) and 5% LS, respectively. Each group had four replicates and 20 birds per pen. Metagenomics analysis results of the ileum microbiota showed that, at the family level, the 5% LS groups had over 40% higher Lactobacillaceae compared to the control group in a mean difference comparison. Heat maps showed that, at the phylum level, the population of Firmicutes was higher and Proteobacteria was lower in the ileum of 5% LS compared to the control group. Results of the stack column plots of the top ten OTUs at the family level showed that a 5% LS and 5% WB supplementation altered the broiler microbiota distribution by increasing the relative abundance of Lactobacillaceae. Cecal microbiota analysis showed that the 5% LS-supplemented group had approximately 5% and 3% higher Veillonellaceae and Lactobacillaceae, respectively. Stack column plots of the top ten OTUs indicated that the distribution of cecal bacteria in each group was not markedly different. Both the ileum and cecum digesta in the 5% LS supplementation group had a slight and not significant elevation on the total VFA, while the pH values and ammonia nitrogen were significantly lowered compared to the control and 5% WB groups (p < 0.05). In addition, the 5% LS supplementation group had a significantly higher lactic acid concentration in both the ileum and cecum compared to the control and 5% WB groups (p < 0.05). In conclusion, a 5% LS supplementation could potentially enhance the feed conversion ratio and European Broiler Index (EBI) of broilers by elevating the family Lactobacillaceae and suppressing the phylum Proteobacteria’s population, thus creating changed intestinal environments that may potentially favor the growth and health of the broilers.
WIP Modulates Oxidative Stress through NRF2/KEAP1 in Glioblastoma Cells

Published: August 2020

Due to their high metabolic rate, tumor cells produce exacerbated levels of reactive oxygen species that need to be under control. Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP)-interacting protein (WIP) is a scaffold protein with multiple yet poorly understood functions that participates in tumor progression and promotes cancer cell survival. However, its participation in the control of oxidative stress has not been addressed yet. We show that WIP depletion increases the levels of reactive oxygen species and reduces the levels of transcription factor NRF2, the master regulator of redox homeostasis. We found that WIP stabilizes NRF2 by restraining the activity of its main NRF2 repressor, the E3 ligase adapter KEAP1, because the overexpression of a NRF2ΔETGE mutant that is resistant to targeted proteasome degradation by KEAP1 or the knock-down of KEAP1 maintains NRF2 levels in the absence of WIP. Mechanistically, we show that the increased KEAP1 activity in WIP-depleted cells is not due to the protection of KEAP1 from autophagic degradation, but is dependent on the organization of the Actin cytoskeleton, probably through binding between KEAP1 and F-Actin. Our study provides a new role of WIP in maintaining the oxidant tolerance of cancer cells that may have therapeutic implications.

Various oxides are used to stabilize zirconium oxide (ZrO2), but their superior hardness causes wear of the machining tool. Calcia-doped zirconia has been studied but reports on properties suitable for dental application are lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to fabricate and characterize zirconia stabilized by calcium oxide (CaO) derived from cockle shells and compare it with zirconia stabilized by commercial CaO, sintered at different temperatures. In this study, 176 pressed pellets of zirconia mixed with CaO either derived from cockle shells or commercial CaO were sintered between 1200 and 1500 °C to produce calcia-doped zirconia. Characterizations were made with SEM and XRD. Specimens were subjected to density, compressive and flexural strength, and Vickers hardness testing. Data were analyzed using the independent t-test and one-way ANOVA. XRD revealed the zirconia was stabilized into tetragonal and cubic phases (Ca-SZ). Ca-SZ cockle shells (CS) and Ca-SZ commercial (CC) have average particle sizes of 267 nm and 272 nm, respectively, with similar surface roughness. At 1400 °C sintering temperature, flexural strengths were 1165 and 1152 MPa, compressive strengths were 4914 and 4913 MPa, and Vickers hardness were 977 and 960 MPa for Ca-SZ(CS) and Ca-SZ(CC), respectively. Both Ca-SZ materials showed no significant difference in most properties (p < 0.05) when sintered at different temperatures. The fully sintered Ca-SZ is less hard compared to the ceria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Ce-TZP) available on the market. Thus, Ca-SZ may be used as an alternative to the current zirconia available on the market for dental application.
Failure Warning at the End of Service-Life of Lead–Acid Batteries for Backup Applications

Published: August 2020

The prediction of remaining useful life is an important function of battery management systems. Existing research typically focused on factors that determine the quantity of the remaining useful capacity, and are able to determine the remaining useful capacity several years before battery failure to counter hysteresis of variables of lead–acid batteries. These techniques are not suitable at the end of service-life for backup batteries. This paper proposes a linear-superposition–voltage-aging model with three improvements. First, the estimation of the deep-discharge of the proposed voltage model does not require the remaining useful capacity. Second, the internal resistance of the deep-discharge is predicted from the contacting resistance of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Third, a morphology correction factor of internal resistance is about to saturate at the end of battery service-life. The model accurately forecasts battery failure at the end of service-life in two groups of accelerated-aging experiments. The proposed method in this paper focuses on the factors that determine quality of remaining useful capacity to counter hysteresis of variables of lead–acid batteries and judge battery failure at the end of service-life.

Inonotus obliquus, also known as the Chaga mushroom, has been used as a traditional medicine to treat many different diseases in Asia. Ethanol and water extraction were performed to examine the blocking effect of the Chaga mushroom on the CTLA-4/CD80 interaction. The inhibitory activities of the Chaga mushroom/70% EtOH extract (CME) and the Chaga mushroom/water extract (CMW) were confirmed using several cell-based assays. To identify the contents of major compounds CME and CMW, we performed HPLC analysis. The content of lanosterol (1) in CME was 0.41%. Our findings provide experimental evidence that the Chaga mushroom can develop a small-molecule inhibitor that blocks the CTLA-4/CD80 interaction.
