The Efficacy of a Novel Silver-Containing Bioresorbable Microfilm Matrix in At-Risk Surgical Wounds: A Clinical Case Series
Authors: Chatelain Ryan
Published: November 2021

Introduction. For persons with diabetes, surgery is fraught with complications; of primary concern is postoperative infection. A postoperative infection rate of up to 13% has been noted in patients with diabetes undergoing elective surgical procedures compared with less than 3% in nondiabetic populations. Objective. The objective of this study was to provide preliminary evaluation of the efficacy of a novel bioresorbable microfilm matrix (20 µm thick) containing very low amounts of silver (0.16 mg/in²) in preventing surgical site infections when placed at the level of subcutaneous tissue and dermis prior to primary closure in the patient with diabetes undergoing elective surgery. Materials and Methods. Twenty-two patients with diabetes undergoing nonemergent or elective foot or ankle surgery and who met at least 1 of the following 6 criteria were included in the study: neuropathy, infection, open wound, history of recurrent infection, nonhealing wound, or peripheral vascular disease. Patients underwent amputation, removal of exostosis, midfoot bone removal, Achilles tendon repair, bunionectomy, or an elevating osteotomy with primary closure of the wound. After hemostasis was obtained and subcutaneous closure achieved, if applicable, the bioresorbable microfilm matrix was applied just deep to the incision at the level of subcutaneous tissue and dermis, and the incision primarily closed. A nonadherent cover dressing was applied over the suture line, and routine follow-up was scheduled for 3 to 5 days later. Results. No patient exhibited signs of infection at initial follow-up, and all adherent patients achieved complete healing during the 3-month follow-up period. Eighteen patients healed at a rate typical for the respective procedure. In 2 patients, time to healing was delayed secondary to weight-bearing dehiscence. Two patients were not included in the results secondary to multiple infractions of nonadherence with the postoperative protocol. Conclusions. The application of microfilm matrix in surgical incisions at the level of subcutaneous tissue and dermis prior to primary closure is safe for and has the potential to prevent postoperative surgical site infections in at-risk patients with diabetes.
Successful Management of Complex Pediatric and Neonatal Wounds With Methylene Blue and Gentian Violet Foam Dressings
Authors: Boyar Vita
Published: November 2021

Introduction. Topical antimicrobial treatment of wounds in pediatric, and especially neonatal, patients can be challenging due to increased systemic absorption, damaging inflammatory cytokines, and oxygen radicals released by bacterial death. A product combining all wound bed preparation principles is desired. Methylene blue and gentian violet (MB/GV) foam dressings can keep wound beds moist, decrease ongoing inflammation, provide antibacterial coverage, and promote healthy wound edges. Objective. This article examines the use of MB/GV antibacterial foams in pediatric patients. Cases included infants with giant omphalocele epidermal stripping, dehisced abdominal wounds, peristomal dermatitis, and peripheral intravenous extravasations and adolescents with stage 4 pressure injuries. The treatment goals were to optimize the wound bed through debridement, elimination of bioburden, providing moisture balance, and enhancement of granulation tissue growth. Materials and Methods. Eight patients (6 infants and 2 adolescents) received MB/GV foam dressings every 2 to 3 days along with standard of care (SOC) management. Results. Effective debridement, bioburden elimination, moisture balance, and edge enhancement were achieved in all wounds. All wound beds were well-prepared to receive other SOC products as needed. Three cases were considered for negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), but NPWT was not used because of challenging clinical characteristics and wound locations. Instead, MB/GV polyvinyl alcohol foam provided capillary wicking action that enhanced wound closure without NPWT. No side effects were observed. Conclusions. Methylene blue and gentian violet foam dressings appear to be a safe clinical option for antibacterial coverage, moisture management, and debridement in neonatal and pediatric patients.
Surgical Site Infection in Cancer Patients
Authors: Bolton Laura
Published: November 2021

Surgical site infection (SSI) incidence is affected by 3 types of interacting factors: the infecting organisms (eg, number, type, virulence), the local wound environment (eg, foreign matter, aseptic technique, wound dressings), and systemic host defenses (eg, smoking, obesity, diabetes). Cancer or related chemotherapy and other aspects of cancer care may affect host defenses, as evidenced by increased SSI risk following “clean” surgery to remove breast cancer tissue compared with similar “clean” surgeries in patients who do not have cancer. If patient risk factors for development of an SSI are strictly controlled in individuals undergoing breast cancer surgery, the likelihood of the development of an SSI drops sharply, creating the illusion that preoperative antibiotics are not needed. This Evidence Corner, which includes 2 studies, clarifies evidence supporting the use of recognized preoperative antibiotic administration to support host defenses in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery. In the first study, the controversy about wound dressings following cancer surgery is also explored. Some surgeons question whether routine use of gauze dressings promotes the ideal local wound environment after surgical excision of cancerous tissue. Disintegrating gauze strands can act as foreign bodies in wounds, and gauze dressings have been reported to increase SSI incidence in clean surgical wounds. The second study compared healing and SSI incidence of Mohs surgical excisions dressed with either an antibiotic-free, film-forming silicone wound dressing or a triple antibiotic primary dressing following Mohs micrographic or non-Mohs dermatologic surgery. The surprising results reinforce the importance of the local wound environment as a key factor in minimizing SSI in oncologic surgery.

THE SPECIFICS OF PRICING IN THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY
Authors:   Uman National University of Horticulture, Nepochatenko Valentyna
Published: November 2021

The stage of investigating the factors that influence price is the most time-consuming. The validity of strategic and tactical pricing decisions depends on how thorough the analysis is conducted. This article deals with the issues of price management in the hospitality industry, including the pricing concepts of small and medium-sized hotels. Effective pricing policy includes not only setting the initial market price, but also methods of payment, types of discounts, price differentiation on various grounds. The cost of a room depends on seasonality, class of the hotel, as well as city and country. Considered characteristic features affecting the process of pricing in today's hospitality industry deserve special attention and are key to the success of the business. The hotel seeks to set a price that would cover the costs of production, distribution, product promotion and an acceptable rate of return. There is great scope for price differentiation in hotel services, both by the type of service provided in terms of volume, standard, time, quantity and by consumer. The constraints of an active pricing policy in the hotel industry are successfully addressed by differentiating prices for services. In the hotel industry, price is an indicator of the quality of service, so the accommodation tariff should reflect the actual supply. If the advertised prices to consumers are high for a hotel in a given class, they will look for another hotel. At the same time, low prices for accommodation services will lead to lower revenues and profits for the hotel establishment. Demand for hotel services is the main regulator of price levels, so incentives and forecasts should be the most important condition when setting the most effective prices. The rule of thumb almost everywhere is that when demand increases, price increases. Pricing policy formation in the hotel is a component of a unified marketing policy and is constantly being shaped by competing companies.

The scientific work is devoted to the organization of accounting of the property of the enterprise. Accordingly, the purpose of writing this article is to deepen the theoretical foundations, as well as substantiate the organizational and regulatory aspects of accounting for enterprise property. It has been substantiated that in today's conditions, the activity of any enterprise provides for the presence of property formed from non-circulating and circulating components. The realities of the modern make it possible to state that the economic entities today have an insufficient level of financial support. That's why the leaders of the enterprise (owners, managers) are constantly reviewing the principles of management, are in search of tools that have the greatest value and ensure the effective implementation of management decisions in a crisis period. Therefore, the study of the organization of accounting of property as a dominant information source of the management process is relevant. The authors analyzed the approaches to the interpretation of the category of "property", identified the key components, that are advisable to refer to the irreversible and circulating components of the property of the enterprise. The priority tasks of the organization of accounting of the property of the enterprise have been determined. The normative-legal documents on accounting of the property of the enterprise of different hierarchical levels are characterized. The priority role of accounting policy in the regulatory system of the local level has been substantiated. Specified factors of influence on the content of the accounting policy and its key issues regarding the property of the enterprise are researched. The authors consider the documentary support of the property of the enterprise, taking into account digitalization, which has a dominant effect on society, which, accordingly, has an impact on the accounting system. The scientific work emphasizes, that transformation processes, digitalization, decentralization have a significant impact both on the organization of accounting in general and on the organization of property accounting, as the dominant component of an enterprise's assets.

The article is devoted to the application of preventive measures to persons with mental disorders. The article presents the views and positions of leading domestic scientists on the types of the most effective precautionary measures for persons in respect of whom proceedings on the application of coercive measures of a medical nature are considered. The article draws attention to international standards as guidelines on the path to legality and justice in the process of applying precautionary measures against insane persons. Scientific positions on the types and features of special precautionary measures that can be applied to insane persons are given. The author found that the problematic issues of application of precautionary measures against persons subject to proceedings on the application of coercive measures of a medical nature are the lack of regulations in the CPC of Ukraine or family members within the precautionary measure in the form of transfer to the care of guardians, close relatives or family members with compulsory medical supervision, as well as the lack of direct right of the person in respect of which the application of coercive measures of a medical nature is decided. appeal against a court decision on the application of a precautionary measure. To improve the legislative provision of the rights of persons subject to coercive measures of a medical nature, as well as to eliminate legislative gaps in the mechanism of application of precautionary measures against such persons, the author proposed specific regulations on the procedure of application of precautionary measures under Chapter 39 of the CPC of Ukraine. care for guardians, close relatives or family members with mandatory medical supervision; as well as placement in a psychiatric institution in conditions that exclude its dangerous behavior. The article expresses the point of view on the need to improve the legislative technique by developing sanctions against persons responsible for the implementation of precautionary measures against insane persons.

The article analyzes the environmental, legal and administrative aspects of medical waste disposal during the Covid-19 pandemic in Ukraine. The substantiation of priorities of improvement of ecological-legal and administrative-legal maintenance of procedure of utilization of medical waste during the Covid-19 pandemic is presented. It is emphasized that the state takes a number of measures to reduce mortality from this disease, while increasing the negative impact on the environment of medical waste generated as a result of vaccination, disease prevention, diagnosis, inpatient treatment of this disease. Their uncontrolled disposal together with household waste has a negative impact on the environment, polluting land and water resources, is a dangerous source of infection. It is established that the environmental, legal and administrative support of the medical waste disposal procedure during the Covid-19 pandemic is related to the formation of the regulatory framework for medical waste management, including collection, transportation, storage, sorting, processing (processing), disposal, removal, and effective activities of public administration and law enforcement agencies to monitor this process. The facts of successful counteraction of such bodies to illegal activity concerning transportation, storage, utilization of medical waste are emphasized. It was found that many problems in this area are due to insufficient funding of the medical sector. The need to implement effective administrative and legal measures, especially control and supervision of economic entities for the disposal of medical waste, to regulate in detail the procedure for medical waste disposal, to devote an important place to this issue in the National Environmental Action Plan until 2025, approved by the order of the Cabinet of Ministers of April 21, 2021 № 443-r and to strengthen the administrative liability of licensed organizations for the provision of medical services for violations in this area. It is recognized that in such conditions it is extremely important to adapt EU legislation on medical waste disposal to Ukrainian realities.

Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Demchyshak Roman
Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to the issues of using three-dimensional modeling as a way of information and technical support of forensic registration. It is stated that none of the modern researches focuses on the use of three- dimensional modeling technology of information and technical support of forensic registration. An assessment of the technological capabilities of modern three-dimensional scanners (3D-scanners), which are used (or can be used) in the information and technical support of forensic registration. The technological possibilities of three-dimensional modeling are analyzed, in particular in the construction of three-dimensional models of the scene, the creation of virtual rooms for educational purposes, forensic examinations, etc. Emphasis is placed on the fact that in criminology, three-dimensional (3D) modeling is carried out according to the rules of solid modeling (in which the key is to reproduce the physical properties of three-dimensional modeling objects). It is the physical properties of forensic registration objects, as a rule, that are the key information, the fixation of which is carried out within the framework of forensic registration. It is determined that the prospects of using three-dimensional (3D) modeling during forensic registration are to ensure the possibility of creating objects of accounting using additive technologies (ie three-dimensional printing (3D- printing)). The position is expressed that the technologies of three-dimensional (3D) modeling can be applied, first of all, in: trasological accounting; ballistic accounting; cold steel accounting; registration of persons on the basis of appearance; accounting of materials, substances and products. Therefore, with 3D modeling, it is possible to reproduce a certain three-dimensional object if it has been properly scanned. The described technologies create opportunities not only to quickly create exact copies or duplicates of evidence or other objects that are placed in forensic accounting, and use them for other research or for use as objects of orientation during operational or investigative actions.

In pattern recognition, image processing plays a role in automatically separating objects from the background. In addition, the object will be processed by the pattern classifier. In the medical world, image processing plays a very important role. CT Scan (Computed Tomography) or CAT Scan (Computed Axial Tomography) is an example of an image processing application that can be used to view fragments or cross sections of parts of the human body. Tomography is the process of producing two-dimensional images from three-dimensional film through several one-dimensional scans. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the image most often used in the field of radiology. MRI images can display the anatomical details of objects clearly in multiple sections (multiplanar) without changing the patient's position. In this study, two methods were compared, namely K-Means and Fuzzy C Means, in a segmentation process with the aim of separating between normal areas or areas with disturbances (lesions). The images used are brain and chest MRI images with a total of 10 MRI images. The image quality of the segmentation results is compared with the quality test using the Variation of Information (VOI) parameters, Global Consistency Error (GCE), MSE (Mean Square Error), PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) and segmentation time.

У процесі теоретичного аналізу проблеми встановлено, що одним із головних завдань сучасної вищої школи України є забезпечення та набуття студентами знань з фізкультурної галузі, підготовка їх до професійної діяльності в умовах Нової української школи. Провідну роль відіграють та несуть відповідальність заклади вищої освіти з підготовки нового покоління педагогів, зміст і рівень кваліфікації яких адекватні інноваціям, що відбуваються в галузі фізичної культури і спорту. Сучасний рівень розвитку суспільства, освіти та науки висуває зовсім нові вимоги до підготовки фахівців, особливо відчутні потреби вдосконалення педагогічної освіти саме фахівців фізкультурної галузі, учителів фізичної культури. Фахівці зазначають, що проблема професійної підготовки майбутніх учителів фізичного виховання в закладах вищої освіти потребує вдосконалення, а в умовах сьогодення ще й швидких змін. Традиційна система освіти не може забезпечити органічне входження нової генерації вчителів у складне та швидкозмінне поле різнопланових потреб навчально-виховної діяльності в сучасній школі. Традиційний зміст, форми та методи підготовки вчителів фізичної культури до професійної діяльності, на жаль, не спроможні будь-що змінити. Реалії підготовки таких фахівців не сприяють формуванню вчителя як активної, творчої особистості, яка сучасно мислить та бере на себе відповідальність за майбутнє покоління. Загалом проблема підвищення ефективності професійно-педагогічної підготовки майбутніх учителів фізичного виховання в педагогічних закладах вищої освіти залишається малодослідженою. Дане дослідження було спрямоване на аналіз і визначення професійної готовності студентів до педагогічної діяльності в закладах загальної середньої освіти. Було проведено анкетування за двома видами анкет, у результаті якого отримано дані щодо інтересу сучасних студентів до діяльності вчителя фізичної культури та рівня сформованості в них основних компонентів педагогічної діяльності за методикою М.Ф. Матвійчука. У результаті дослідження встановлено, що студенти мають позитивне ставлення до діяльності вчителя фізичної культури, а основним чинником виявлення активності в них є інтерес до засвоєння матеріалу. Сформованість компонентів педагогічної майстерності засвідчує добре володіння комунікативними, конструктивними, руховими й організаторськими здібностями, меншою мірою – гностичними.

У статті висвітлено досвід застосування засобів фізичної реабілітації (терапії) для дітей, хворих на церебральний параліч. Зроблена спроба науково обґрунтувати, розкрити й оцінити ефективність засобів фізичної терапії в разі дитячого церебрального паралічу. В основу статті покладено аналіз літературних джерел про засоби для реабілітації дітей із дитячим церебральним паралічем, наукову літературу, лікарсько-педагогічні спостереження, засоби фізичної терапії (кінезіотерапія, фізіотерапія, тейпування та масаж), клініко- інструментальні методи дослідження (огляд, пальпація, гоніометрія, мануально-м’язове тестування). Проаналізовано частоту виявлення дитячого церебрального паралічу різних форм в Україні і світі. Узагальнено досвід застосування засобів реабілітації: методи Б. і К. Бобатів, М. Єфименка, В. Козявкіна, Г. Кебота, В. Феліса, К. Семенової. Узагальнення публікацій виявило, що найбільш часто використовується метод Б. і К. Бобатів і М. Єфименка. Викладено особливості застосування різних програм реабілітації для дітей із різними симптомами прояву дитячого церебрального паралічу (від ледь помітної недолугості до суттєвого ускладнення рухів однієї або декількох кінцівок, паралічу і тугорухливості суглобів, поведінкові проблеми, проблеми із зором або слухом і / або судомні розлади). Серед програм відзначено такі: методи лікувальної фізкультури, масажу, фізіотерапії і рефлексотерапії – уважаються досить ефективними на всіх етапах реабілітаційного процесу з урахуванням тяжкості функціональних порушень і загальних протипоказань. Для вибору методів реабілітації корисно вивчити закономірності рухового розвитку здорової дитини і механізмів формування рухової патології в дітей із дитячим церебральним паралічем. У статті зроблено висновки, що кінезіотерапія, фізіотерапія, кінезіотей- пування, масаж та використання методів Б. і К. Бобатів і М. Єфименка сприяють позитивній динаміці клінічних проявів захворювання, норма- лізації функціонального стану нервової системи дитини.

Еволюція змагальної діяльності у фехтуванні, неможливість збільшення обсягів та інтенсивності тренувальних навантажень фехтувальників на шпагах зумовлюють пошук нових шляхів та резервів для вдосконалення різних аспектів підготовленості фехтувальників на шпагах, а також нових підходів до визначення найбільш обдарованих спортсменів. За останні роки в умовах активного розвитку фехтування як виду спорту, змін правил змагань, посилення процесів комерціалізації суттєво збільшилася кількість змагань, у яких беруть участь кваліфіковані та висококваліфіковані спортсмени. Зросла інтенсивність змагальної діяльності та підвищились вимоги до підготовленості спортсменів. Тренери та науковці почали шукати нові шляхи підвищення результативності змагальної діяльності у фехтуванні, а також нові підходи щодо відбору обдарованих спортсменів. Одним із таких шляхів є урахування психофізіологічних характеристик у підготовці спортсменів. Метою нашого дослідження було визначення психофізіологічних критеріїв обдарованості у фехтуванні на шпагах. Методами, які використовувалися упродовж дослідження, були: теоретичний аналіз та узагальнення, документальний метод, метод вимірювання та методи математичної статистики. З метою визначення інформативних критеріїв обдарованості у фехтуванні на шпагах нами було здійснено вимірювання психофізіологічних характеристик 15-ти фехтувальників на шпагах на етапі максимальної реалізації індивідуальних можливостей, а також 15-ти фехтувальників на шпагах на етапі спеціалізованої базової підготовки. За допомогою комплексу для психофізіологічного тестування «Нейрософт-психотест» нами було здійснено вимірювання простої зорово-моторної реакції, реакції розрізнення, реакції вибору, реакції на рухомий об’єкт, силової витривалості кисті та стійкості до перешкод. Проста зорово-моторна реакція, реакція розрізнення, реакція вибору та реакція на рухомий об’єкт є відносно стійкими показниками у процесі багаторічної підготовки фехтувальників, отже, можна їх розглядати як критерії обдарованості у фехтуванні на шпагах.
A Phylogenetic Investigation of the New Zealand Pteridaceae Ferns
Authors:   , Bouma Whitney L M
Published: November 2021

The fern family Pteridaceae is among the largest fern families in New Zealand. It comprises 17 native species among five genera. Traditionally the classification of Pteridaceae was based on morphological characters. The advent of molecular technology, now makes is possible to test these morphology-based classifications. The Pteridaceae has previously been subjected to phylogenetic analyses; however representatives from New Zealand and the South Pacific have never been well represented in these studies. This thesis research aimed to investigate the phylogenetic relationships of the New Zealand Pteridaceae, as well as, the phylogenetic relationships of the New Zealand species to their overseas relatives. The DNA sequences of several Chloroplast loci (e.g. trnL-trnF locus, rps4 and rps4-trnS IGS, atpB, and rbcL) were determined and the phylogenetic relationships of the New Zealand Pteridaceae and several species-specific question within the genus Pellaea and Adiantum were investigated. Results presented in this thesis confirm previously published phylogenetics of the Pteridaceae, which show the resolution of five major clades, i.e.,cryptogrammoids, ceratopteridoids, pteridoids, cheilanthoids, and the adiantoids. The addition of the New Zealand species revealed a possible South West Pacific groups formed by the respective genera, where New Zealand species were generally more related to one another than to overseas relatives. Within the New Zealand Pellaea, the analysis of the trnL-trnF locus sequence data showed that the morphologically-intermediate plants P. aff. falcata, responsible for taxonomic confusion, were more closely related to P. rotundifolia than to P. falcata. Furthermore, the species collected on the Kermadec Islands, previously thought to be P. falcata, are genetically distinct from the Australian P. falcata and they could constitute a new species. Adiantum hispidulum, which is polymorphic for two different hair types being used to distinguish them as different species, was also reinvestigated morphologically and molecularly. Morphological inspection of hairs revealed three hair types as opposed to the previous thought two, and furthermore, they correspond to three different trnL-trnF sequences haplotypes.
Generic Ownership: a Practical Approach to Ownership and Confinement in Object-Oriented Programming Languages
Authors:   , Potanin Alex
Published: November 2021

Modern object-oriented programming languages support many techniques that simplify the work of a programmer. Among them is generic types: the ability to create generic descriptions of algorithms and object structures that will be automatically specialised by supplying the type information when they are used. At the same time, object-oriented technologies still suffer from aliasing: the case of many objects in a program's memory referring to the same object via different references. Ownership types enforce encapsulation in object-oriented programs by ensuring that objects cannot be referred to from the outside of the object(s) that own them. Existing ownership programming languages either do not support generic types or attempt to add them on top of ownership restrictions. The goal of this work is to bring object ownership into mainstream object-oriented programming languages. This thesis presents Generic Ownership which provides perobject ownership on top of a generic imperative language. Surprisingly, the resulting system not only provides ownership guarantees comparable to the established systems, but also requires few additional language mechanisms to achieve them due to full reuse of generic types. In this thesis I formalise the core of Generic Ownership, highlighting that the restriction of this calls, owner preservation over subtyping, and appropriate owner nesting are the only necessary requirements for ownership. I describe two formalisms: (1) a simple formalism, capturing confinement in a functional setting, and (2) a complete formalism, providing a way for Generic Ownership to support both deep and shallow variations of ownership types. I support the formal work by describing how the Ownership Generic Java (OGJ) language is implemented as a minimal extension to Java 5. OGJ is the first publicly available language implementation that supports ownership, confinement, and generic types at the same time. I demonstrate OGJ in practice: show how to use OGJ to write programs and provide insights into the implementations of Generic Ownership.
Isolation and Structure Elucidation of New Secondary Metabolites from New Zealand Marine Red Algae
Authors:   , Popplewell Wendy Lynne
Published: November 2021

The natural product analysis of New Zealand red algae has been neglected in recent years, and there is obvious scope for the chemical re-evaluation of New Zealand marine red algae. This study describes the isolation and structure elucidation of 12 new and eight known compounds from four different genera of red algae. To aid in this process, 34 red algae were screened in order to generate a digital HSQC spectra mask, a screening tool developed by the VUW Marine Natural Products group to identify extracts of interest for further analysis. All 34 algal extracts were screened using the HSQC mask and four extracts were identified as interesting and analysed in detail. Examination of extracts of the red algae Plocamium costatum and Ballia callitricha lead to the isolation of three known metabolites. Eleven new oxylipins, labillarides A to K, are reported from the alga Phacelocarpus labillardieri. Labillarides A to H are polyunsaturated alpha-pyrone macrocycles, all of which show similarities to the previously reported compounds isolated from southern Australian collections of the algae. Labillarides E to H are of particular interest as they represent the two diastereomeric pairs associated with variation at the C-3 and C-8 chiral centres. Labillarides I and J are related enol macrocycles while labillaride K is a furan-3-one oxylipin, all of which have biogenic significance to the macrocyclic alpha-pyrones. Labillarides A, B and I exhibit moderate cytotoxicity while labillaride C shows moderate antibacterial activity. A new nitrogenous bromophenol, colensolide A, was isolated from the alga Osmundaria colensoi along with five known bromophenols. The presence of nitrogen-containing sidechains in bromophenols is unusual but not unprecedented. The bicyclic nitrogenous moiety observed in colensolide A is proposed to be of histidine origin. Several of the known bromophenols exhibit antibacterial activity and one shows moderate cytotoxicity.
Światło wiary. Motyw słońca i jego chrześcijańskie konotacje w poezji Krystyny Saryusz-Zaleskiej
Authors: Kurkiewicz Marek
Published: November 2021

Artykuł przynosi omówienie sposobu funkcjonowania motywu słońca w poezji Krystyny Saryusz-Zaleskiej (1874–1945). Na gruncie twórczości poetyckiej młodopolskiej autorki nie mamy do czynienia ani z prostym utożsamieniem słońca z Boską potęgą, ani ze stałym przyporządkowaniem go którejś z Boskich postaci (Bóg, Chrystus, Maryja). Nie każde przywołanie słońca wiąże się z liryczną emanacją boskości; nie zawsze kiedy poetka wykorzystuje akcenty słoneczne, kontekst metafizyczny jest wyłączny lub choćby dominujący. Wiele jest bowiem w poezji Saryusz-Zaleskiej przykładów solarnego uniwersalizmu, kiedy słońce staje się symbolem życia, kiedy współtworzy efektowne pejzaże (morskie, górskie), kiedy pozwala w odpowiednim świetle pokazać piękno krajobrazu Włoch czy Dalmacji. Równocześnie jednak nie można mówić o trwałej sekularyzacji tego motywu, mimo wszystko bowiem wątki religijne bardzo często łączą się ze słońcem.

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and caused by dysregulated signal transduction from kinase and phosphatases. Inhibitors of kinase and phosphatase have demonstrated anticancer properties. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the antikinase, antiphosphatase and cytotoxic properties of Mallotus mollissimus (M. mollissimus) and Solanum erianthum (S. erianthum). Toxic activities against PP1, MKK1 and MSG5 assays were demonstrated by S. erianthum methanol extract. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the methanolic extracts showed that chloroform fraction (CE) of M. mollissimus exhibited toxic activity against PP1. Meanwhile, CE of S. erianthum showed positive activity on PP1 assay. Column chromatography separation of the CE has revealed that fractions F1 and F2 of M. mollissimus are toxic against PP1. Meanwhile, F1 and F2 CE fractions of S. erianthum were positive against PP1 and F9 fraction showed toxic activity in PP1 assay. Chloroform extracts of both plants exhibit cytotoxicity activity against HeLa, CaOV3 and MCF7 cell lines. This study demonstrated the potential of M. mollissimus and S. erianthum extracts in antikinase, antiphosphatase and anti-cancer activities which warrant further purification and identification.

Bir piyasanın temel işlevi, bilginin alıcılar ve satıcılar arasında daha sorunsuz bir şekilde akmasını sağlayarak talep ve arz eşleşmesini kolaylaştırmaktır. Bu bağlamda, elektronik pazarlar çevrimiçi işlem platformları yaparak hem
alıcıların hem de satıcıların elde edebileceği birçok avantajın var olduğunu göstermiştir. Tüketiciler, fiyatlar ve ürünler hakkındaki bilgileri çok kolay ve hızlı bir şekilde, sadece bir “tıklama” ile bulabilmektedir. E-ticaret
platformlarındaki satıcılar, diğer satıcıların fiyat stratejilerini görebilmekte ve karşılaştırabilmektedir, dolayısıyla pazar daha şeffaftır. Satıcılar, ilgili menü maliyetlerini ödemeden fiyatlarını değiştirebilmektedirler. E-ticaret
platformundaki satıcıların kar marjları rekabet etmekte böylece hepsi maliyet üzerinden fiyatlandırma yapmak zorunda kalmaktadır. Satıcılar birçok farklı ülkede bulunan tüketicilere ulaşabilmekte ve aynı zamanda tüketiciler de
dünyanın neresinde olursa olsun bir e-ticaret platformunda yer alan bir satıcıya ulaşabilmektedir. Bir e-ticaret platformunu kullanan çok sayıda alıcı ve satıcı bulunmaktadır. E-ticaret platformu aynı (homojen) ürünlerden oluşmaktadır.
Bu koşullar dikkate alındığında e-ticaret platformlarının piyasa yapısının iktisadın ideal olarak tanımladığı Tam Rekabet Piyasasına yakınsadığı görülmektedir.
