Authors: Liabakh A.P. , Turchyn O.A. , Piatkovskyi V.M. , Kucher I.V.
Published: November 2021

Summary. The assessment of foot and ankle function still remains an actual issue of the modern orthopedics.

Objective: comparative qualitative analysis of the most common assessment systems of foot and ankle function.

Materials and Methods. The search from PubMed databases from 1946 to 2021 was done. 8898 publications were detected in which assessment systems of foot and ankle function have been used. 12 assessment systems presented in 5705 publications were selected for analysis (inclusion criterion – no less than 40 publications): AOFAS scale, VAS, SF-36 EQL, FFI, FAOS, FAAM, FADI, BFS, MOFAQ, FFI-R, Roles&Maudsley scale, VAS FA. The analysis predicted the assessment system philosophy: numerical estimate, VAS, Likert scale, patient- or investigatororiented, and reliability evidence.

Results. Most of the analized assessment systems meet criteria of reliability (r>0.8; Kronbach’s α≥0.9). For Roles&Maudsley scale and VAS, FA reliability has not been established. The validity fluctuates widely.

Conclusions. The choice of an assessment system must meet the research tasks. The consideration of strong and weak sides of assessment systems promotes their adequate combinations to avoid the bias effect.

ABSTRACKThe responsibility of education cannot be carried out unilaterally, it requires the cooperation of three components which Ki Hajar Dewantara calls the tricenter of education: family, educational institutions, and society. All three are a unified whole and complement each other. The involvement and role of parents and the community in guarding children's education in the era of globalization is very urgent.This journal aims to discuss the importance of the Three Education Centers as a solution to overcome juvenile delinquency which is increasing in this era of globalization. The writing of this journal uses library research methods, or often also called library research, collecting data from various literatures.The three educational centers both play an important role in the success of education, which basically all are interrelated and mutually cooperate with each other. The three of them must indirectly carry out close guidance in the educational process. The three links can be seen from: Parents carry out their obligations to educate children in the family, educational institutions facilitate teaching various knowledge and skills with full support from students' parents, and the community is expected to be a facilitator for students to be able to actualize their knowledge and skills.Â Keywords: Responsibility, Tricenter of Education, Juvenile delinquency, Puberty.
A NEW MODEL OF URBAN REGENERATION AND ECONOMIC REVITALISATION: THE I.D.E.A. DISTRICT, SAN DIEGO
Authors: Parisi Luana , Biancuzzo Laura
Published: November 2021

In the 21st century globalized economy, innovation is a crucial factor within strategies targeted at growing and sustaining competitiveness of regions and cities. The emerging trend of innovation-led urban planning initiatives provides strong evidence of how cities are implementing strategies to promote innovation mainstreaming. Hence, these innovationoriented policies are currently translated into the creation of innovation districts, becoming part of the urban settlement dynamics towards regeneration processes. This paper intends to explore the new paradigm of urban development initiatives driven by the increasing demand of innovation. Accordingly, innovation districts will be investigated by identifying the role, as well as the influence, of the different actors who nurture and accelerate the innovation process at urban level. The I.D.E.A. District case study will be examined, by pointing out the policies and planning initiatives undertaken in Downtown San Diego. Findings from this research will evaluate the effectiveness of the new generation of urban planning initiatives in supporting urban growth strategies. Additionally, the level of public private partnership effectiveness in supporting the development of innovation districts will be highlighted. Useful lessons can be drawn in encouraging planners and policymakers towards implementing these new innovation-oriented urban regeneration initiatives within urban growth strategies, important for enhancing competitiveness and for improving liveability by providing solutions for a more efficient land use.
Quasi-universal Behavior of the Threshold Mass in Unequal-mass, Spinning Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Authors: Tootle Samuel D. , Papenfort L. Jens , Most Elias R. , Rezzolla Luciano
Published: November 2021

The lifetime of the remnant produced by the merger of two neutron stars can provide a wealth of information on the equation of state of nuclear matter and on the processes leading to the electromagnetic counterpart. Hence, it is essential to determine when this lifetime is the shortest, corresponding to when the remnant has a mass equal to the threshold mass, M
th, to prompt collapse to a black hole. We report on the results of more than 360 simulations of merging neutron-star binaries covering 40 different configurations differing in mass ratio and spin of the primary. Using this data, we have derived a quasi-universal relation for M
th and expressed its dependence on the mass ratio and spin of the binary. The new expression recovers the results of Koeppel et al. for equal-mass, irrotational binaries and reveals that M
th can increase (decrease) by 5% (10%) for binaries that have spins aligned (antialigned) with the orbital angular momentum and provides evidence for a nonmonotonic dependence of M
th on the mass asymmetry in the system. Finally, we extend to unequal masses and spinning binaries the lower limits that can be set on the stellar radii once a neutron star binary is detected, illustrating how the merger of an unequal-mass, rapidly spinning binary can significantly constrain the allowed values of the stellar radii.
The Distribution of Oxygen, Calcium, and Strontium Over the Surface of 21 Com
Authors: Monier Richard
Published: November 2021

Comparison of optical high resolution high signal-to-noise ELODIE spectra of 21 Com taken in 2004 April and separated by about half of the 2 days rotational period, reveals variations of the oxygen, calcium and strontium lines between rotational phases 0.94 and 0.48. Whereas the lines of oxygen and calcium are stronger at phase 0.94, those of strontium strengthen at phase 0.48. The synthesis of strong Sr ii lines yields disk-averaged estimates of the abundances of strontium: about 200 times solar at phase 0.94 and 450 solar at phase 0.48 for strontium. However the O i and Ca ii lines are too blended to derive unambiguous quantitative information on the abundance and distribution of oxygen and calcium over the surface of 21 Com. The likely underabundance of oxygen might be quantified using stronger far-ultraviolet transitions.

Authors: Wang Hua Qiong , Zhang Li Li , Jiao Da Cheng , Wang Yan Ru , Gao Zeng Hua
Published: November 2021

The tensile properties of quartz fiber fabric-reinforced resin composites at high temperature were studied. The effects of specimen type and dimension, temperature loading procedure, holding time and loading rate on the tensile properties of the composites at high temperatures were analyzed through series of comparative experiments, the tensile test parameters were determined. Chinese national standard for high-temperature tensile property testing of the composites was compiled based on the data collected. According to the established standard, the tensile testing at 500°C was carried out. Compared with the tensile properties at room temperature, the tensile strength and tensile modulus of the composite at high temperature decreases significantly, with the tensile strength decreasing by about 42.32% and the tensile modulus decreasing by about 24.18%. This is mainly due to the high temperature which causes part of the resin matrix to pyrolyze and detach from around the fiber, thus losing the integrity of the material. In addition, this national standard for high-temperature tensile properties has some general applicability to different types of fiber-reinforced resin composites.

Authors: Wongpreedee Thapanee , Prapruddivongs Chana , Kengkhetkit Nanthaya
Published: November 2021

Banana fiber (BF) was utilized as a reinforcing filler for natural rubber (NR). BF/NR composites containing banana fiber contents of 5, 10, and 15 parts per hundred parts of rubber (phr) were mixed on a two-roll mill machine. The hardness, tensile properties of BF/NR composites were studied. It was found that the hardness and moduli of BF/NR composites are higher than that of NR. Despite tensile strength and strain at break of BF/NR composite lower than NR. Moreover, hardness and moduli of BF/NR composites increased, while tensile strength and strain at break decreased with the increase in banana fiber content. Thus, banana fiber exhibited improvement in the stiffness significantly of NR composites
Anti-Biofilm Formation of an Adhesive Containing Calcium Salts of Acidic Monomers against Oral Candida Related to Root Caries
Authors: Thaweboon Sroisiri , Saito Takashi , Thaweboon Boonyanit
Published: November 2021

The proportion of older people within the general population is expanding due to the decline of birth rate and the increase of life expectancy. Increasing elderly populations, which is retaining its teeth longer, leads to oral health problems, for example, root caries. The main etiological factor for the initiation and development of root caries is the appearance of cariogenic biofilm. The acid-producing and acid-tolerant bacteria and oral yeast, such as Candida albicans are the major contributors in root caries formation. A new generation of adhesives is developed with several modifications for the prevention of dental caries by incorporating antimicrobial components. The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial effect of adhesive containing calcium salt of acidic monomers on the biofilm formation of oral Candida related to root caries. In the experiments, the flat-bottom surfaces of 96-well plate were painted with an adhesive containing calcium salts of 4-methacryloxyethyl trimellitic acid (CMET) and 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen calcium phosphate (MDCP) (Bio-Coat, CA, Sun Medical, Japan). Then they were LED light-cured and coated with sterile saliva at 37 °C for 60 min. The biofilm formation was made by adding of Candida albicans (ATCC 10238 and two clinical strains) suspensions (107 colony forming unit/mL) and incubated at 37°C for 24 h. The amount of vital biofilm was determined by WST-8 Microbial Cell Counting Kit (Dojindo Molecular Technologies, USA). All experiments were done in triplicate and repeated three times. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t-test. The results clearly showed that adhesive could significantly inhibit biofilm formation of all tested Candida compared with a control. This suppressive effect was not different among the strains of Candida. The percentages of vital biofilm reduction were 25% to 40%. The ability of this adhesive to suppress biofilm of oral yeast may be its antimicrobial property of acidic monomer or the effect of calcium ion within the adhesive, which can alter Candida cell morphology, and influence their structures or process of biofilm formation. In conclusion, an adhesive containing calcium salts of acidic monomers could significantly inhibit biofilm formation of C. albicans. This adhesive could be effectively applied to exposed root surfaces to prevent or inhibit the progression of root caries. Further studies are necessary to clarify the effect on multispecies biofilm, on long-term activity, and in vivo conditions.

In this paper, the YAG powder is prepared by the co-precipitation method. In addition, the sintering aid to aid sintering and the high temperature foaming agent that becomes gas released during the heating process so that the sample has pores, the ball mill mixes the material, and the sample press is extruded. Box-type resistance furnace sintering. Through this process, porous ceramics can be made. Study the effect of sintering aid content, foaming agent type, sintering temperature on the properties of YAG porous materials. The analysis and discussion can lead to the following conclusions: as the content of sintering aid silica in the sample increases, the sintering temperature of the sample decreases. It is best when the ratio of sintering aid alumina to silica is 3:1. The moldability of the sample whose foaming agent is wood chips is worse than that of the sample whose foaming agent is fiber and carbon powder. The ratio of sintering aid alumina to silica is 3:1, and the sintering temperature of the sample with carbon powder as the blowing agent is best when the sintering temperature is 1400 °C.

Published: November 2021

This research studies effects of the brazing time on interfacial microstructure of brazed joint between the porous copper foam (PCF) and Cu substrate using CuNiSnP amorphous filler metal. To examine the interfacial microstructure and its properties, an assessment of PCF/CuNiSnP/Cu brazed joints was conducted after electric furnace brazing under hydrogen (H2) atmosphere. The results showed that the interfacial microstructure was thick for short brazing time specimens and thin for prolonged brazing time specimens. The interfacial microstructures consisted of Cu-rich solid solution, (Cu, Ni)3P, and Cu3P as a eutectic structure discovered in the brazing region at different brazing times of 5, 10, and 20 min. Only the Cu-rich solid solution and (Cu, Ni)3P were found in the specimen with brazing time of 30 min. indicating that different brazing times affected interfacial microstructures and therefore reliability of the brazed joints.

Published: November 2021

The development of new environmentally friendly binder from calcium carbide residue and fly ash wastes were investigated in this study. The key point of this work is difference to several previous investigations in that the optimized mixture proportion of the raw materials were calculated based on their chemical composition and their reaction. The compressive strength development over the curing age was also compared with reference mortar created with OPC binder. Mortar cubes were cast from the mix containing the calcium carbide residue and fly ash, at the optimized ratio. The compressive strength of the mortar was then monitored over an extended period: at 56 days it was 10.66 MPa, which is approximately 47% of the reference mortar. The morphologies and chemical compositions of the developed mortar showed the presence of spherically shaped of unreacted fly ash powder particles embedded in a cement C–S–H gel resulting from the pozzolanic reaction of raw materials.

Authors: Sachr Jiří , Dasek Ondrej , Hyzl Petr
Published: November 2021

The work deals with the detection of presence of RAP (reclaimed asphalt pavement) in asphalt mixtures. Information about the presence of RAP in an asphalt layer can be technically advantageous, for example, when planning further recycling of the layer. The method described in the paper can also be used to verify the success of a treatment of an aged binder in RAP, which is dosed in the production of new asphalt mixtures. The asphalt binder was obtained by a method of successive extraction from asphalt mixtures with different RAP content. Basic empirical tests of the asphalt binder (needle penetration and softening point) were chosen to detect the presence of RAP. The complex shear modulus G* was further determined on the extracted binders using a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR).

Published: November 2021

This study dealt with the rotary draw bending method most used for tube bending and investigates how applied bending such as normal bending, using mandrels or pressing with booster have an effect on machining accuracy, focusing on dimensional defects due to springback and flat deformation to the transverse plane. The study used particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms to investigate the optimal machining conditions for improving the accuracy of dimension and shape of a bent part. The following findings were obtained: The springback during applied machining using a mandrel, or using a mandrel and booster together, is almost the same as during normal processing; The flattening near the center of the bend in applied processing using a mandrel, or a mandrel and booster together, decreases more than with normal processing at mandrel protrusion L ≥ 4 mm, and the maximum can be suppressed to approximately 0.15%; When the sum of the springback and the flattening is taken as the objective function and the minimum value is obtained, the optimal solution is around L = 7 mm.

Authors: Putri Muharnis Supriyani , Susanna Dewi
Published: November 2021

Improper food handling can be a major cause of food contamination. To prevent food contamination, the food handler should have good knowledge, display a positive attitude, and practice proper food handling practices. This study aimed to evaluate the food safety and personal hygiene knowledge, attitudes, and practices of food handlers at kitchen premises in the Port ‘X’ area in North Jakarta, Indonesia. This study uses a cross-sectional design. The research was conducted in April 2018 and May 2018. Data were collected from 72 food handlers from kitchens located in the Port ‘X’ area in North Jakarta. Data collection was performed through interviews and observations, using questionnaires and checklists as research instruments. The results show a significant correlation between the level of knowledge about food safety and the attitude of food handlers (p=0.01), and attitude scores were significantly higher among food handlers who reported attending a previous food safety training course (p=0.002) with (r=0.302) it means a weak uphill (positive) linear relationship attitude scores and training that food handlers attended. This study found a significant relationship between the knowledge and attitude of food handlers, but there was no significant relationship between knowledge or attitude and food handling practices. Thus, it is recommended that training activities for food handlers be held regularly, as the food safety knowledge obtained from training or courses can translate into the improvement of attitudes and food handling practices.

Authors: Saati Keyvan , Valizadeh Sara , Anaraki Saeed Nemati , Moosavi Niloufar
Published: November 2021

Background:

This study aimed to assess the color change of two amine-free dual-cure resin cements following aging in comparison with a light-cure resin cement.

Materials and Methods:

This in vitro, experimental study evaluated 6 groups (n = 10), including three groups of cements bonded to feldspathic porcelain and three groups of resin cements alone. Panavia V5 (Kuraray) and G-CEM LinkForce (GC) dual-cure resin cements and Choice 2 (Bisco) light-cure resin cements were bonded to porcelain according to the manufacturers’ instructions. The color parameters of the groups were measured before and after 5000 thermal cycles by spectrophotometry. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test (α =0.05).

Results:

The color change (ΔE) of the cement groups alone was significantly greater than that of porcelain-bonded cements. The ΔE of G-CEM LinkForce cement group was significantly higher than that of Panavia V5 group (P = 0.020), and the ΔE of the latter group was significantly higher than that of Choice 2 cement group (P = 0.021).

Conclusion:

Considering the color change of cements evaluated in this study, Choice 2 and Panavia V5 cements bonded to porcelain showed acceptable color change, which indicates that they are suitable for cementation of esthetic dental restorations. Ceramic laminates have become an ideal esthetic treatment for anterior restorations. The resin cement discoloration can affect final appearance of these restorations. Besides that, exposed resin cement line can lead to the esthetic problem over time.

Conclusion:

Both retainers seem to be effective in maintaining the treatment results however the FSW seems to accumulate more plaque over a given period of time thereby mandating proper hygiene maintenance and follow-up.
Comminuted Middle Third Orbito-Zygomatic Complex Fracture Leading to Blindness Due to Unanticipated Tyre Rim Explosion During Service – A Rare Case
Authors: Sathyanarayanan R , Raghu K , Shyamala M , Joseph Jude B Nithin , Rajkumar R
Published: November 2021

An explosion is caused by conversion of solid, liquid into gas with resultant energy release. Blast injuries of large tyres are similar to injuries resulting from landmine explosions. Most of the patients were polytraumatised, initial evaluation and management should follow ATLS. Trauma following tyre blast results in severe soft tissue, orthopedic and head injuries. Head and face is the most commonly affected region followed by upper limb. A 40 year old male patient was watching a car tyre getting inflated with air. Unfortunately the tyre rim exploded on his face, which led to penetrating injury to the eye ball and comminuted middle third fractures. Patient was stabilized and primary hemostasis was achieved. Fractured maxilla was fixed by arch bar wiring and stabilized by using circum-suspension wiring bilaterally. Left eyeball was removed due to open globe injury and intraocular content loss. Unusual maxillofacial injuries are more common. Decision making and treatment of facial penetrating injuries depends on number of factors, which includes location and extent of injury, type of foreign body involved, proximity of vital structures, extent of injury to soft and hard tissue and the relative benefits and risk ratio for the patient. In this case report we have explained about the primary assessment and management of blast injuries.

Introduction:

Dental treatment for children requires the use of behaviour guidance techniques (BGTs), which are used in the dental office to make children cope with dental treatment.

Aim:

Evaluate how children and parents felt towards BGTs used in a dental office, by attitude meter and to correlate them.

Materials and Method:

Children (200) from 7–17 years and their parents were selected randomly to participate in the study. Each child and parent was asked to watch four video scenes of live BGTs, which include Tell Show Do (TSD), Modeling, Reward system, and Hand holding. A questionnaire collected demographic data, and their expressive attitudes were assessed using Line of favour (LOF) scale and Kruskal-Wallis Test.

Results:

Most preferred BGTs for Group I was modeling, Group II Reward, Group III Tell Show Do, and Group IV was Modeling, with a mean score of 5.95, 6.04, 5.57, and 5.78, respectively. Gender wise preferences, 32% of boys and 34% of girls preferred modeling in Group I, whereas, in Group II, 20% of boys and 21% of girls preferred reward, respectively. Chi-square test revealed that there is no significant difference between the groups and gender for the preference of BGTs in Group I (P=0.893) and Group II (P=0.592). There was no significant correlation between preferences of children and their parents.

Conclusion:

Modeling was the most preferred BGT for primary school children and parents of High school children. A reward was the most preferred BGT for high school children. TSD was the most preferred BGT for parents of primary school children.
An Interdisciplinary Approach to Management of Diastemas
Authors: Saeralaathan Sindhu , Lavu Vamsi , Rajan Mathan , Balaji SK , Ganesh Arathi
Published: November 2021

Diastema between the teeth negatively affects the patients' smile, psychology and daily activities by creating a disharmony in the patients' face. The development of diastema has been attributed to several factors such as labial frenulum, microdontia, mesiodens, peg-shaped lateral incisors, agenesis, cysts, habits such as finger sucking, tongue thrusting, or lip sucking, dental malformations, genetics, proclinations, dental-skeletal discrepancies, and imperfect coalescence of interdental septum. Patients often present with complex problems that require a multidisciplinary treatment approach which includes determination of the aetiological factors, soft tissue morphology, occlusion, patient demands and aesthetic consideration to achieve satisfactory outcomes. Lack of current literature on classification of diastemas and multi-disciplinary approach of management led to the proposal of a new classification the ATAC (Anatomic and Therapeutic Classification) for management of the diastema. This case report highlights the use of the proposed classification for management of diastemas, requiring a perio-restorative intervention using a Chu's proportion gauge to achieve ideal aesthetics.
Optic nerve sheath carcinomatosis masquerading as optic perineuritis
Authors: Roque Joana , Silva Diana , Grima Bruno , Prieto Isabel
Published: November 2021

Optic perineuritis (OPN) is a rare inflammatory disease involving the optic nerve sheath. Most cases are idiopathic, but associations with a variety of infectious and inflammatory conditions have been described. Patients with suspected OPN should also be investigated for neoplasms in the form of optic nerve sheath meningioma or meningeal carcinomatosis, given they share important clinical and radiological features. We present a case of suspected idiopathic bilateral OPN that was particularly challenging, eventually revealing a neoplastic etiology.
Isometric immersions of RCD spaces
Authors: Honda Shouhei
Published: November 2021

We prove that if an RCD space has a regular isometric immersion in a Euclidean space, then the immersion is a locally bi-Lipschitz embedding map. This result leads us to prove that if a compact non-collapsed RCD space has an isometric immersion in a Euclidean space via an eigenmap, then the eigenmap is a locally bi-Lipschitz embedding map to a sphere, which generalizes a fundamental theorem of Takahashi in submanifold theory to a non-smooth setting. Applications of these results include a topological sphere theorem and topological finiteness theorems, which are new even for closed Riemannian manifolds.
Covering-monopole map and higher degree in non-commutative geometry
Authors: Kato Tsuyoshi
Published: November 2021

We analyze the monopole map over the universal covering space of a compact four-manifold. We induce the property of local properness of the covering-monopole map under the condition of closedness of the Atiyah–Hitchin–Singer (AHS) complex. In particular, we construct a higher degree of the covering-monopole map when the linearized equation is isomorphic. This induces a homomorphism between the

K

-groups of the group

C^*

-algebra. We apply a non-linear analysis on the covering space, which is related to

L^p

cohomology. We also obtain various Sobolev estimates on the covering spaces.

By applying the Singer conjecture on

L^2

cohomology, we propose a conjecture of an aspherical version of the

\frac{10}{8}

-inequality. This is satisfied for a large class of four-manifolds, including some complex surfaces of general type.

Lattice equable quadrilaterals I: Parallelograms
Authors: Aebi Christian , Cairns Grant
Published: November 2021

This paper studies equable parallelograms whose vertices lie on the integer lattice. Using Rosenberger’s Theorem on generalised Markov equations, we show that the g.c.d. of the side lengths of such parallelograms can only be 3, 4 or 5, and in each of these cases the set of parallelograms naturally forms an infinite tree all of whose vertices have degree 4, bar the root. The paper then focuses on what we call Pythagorean equable parallelograms. These are lattice equable parallelograms whose complement in a circumscribing rectangle consists of two Pythagorean triangles. We prove that for these parallelograms the shortest side can only be 3, 4, 5, 6 or 10, and there are five infinite families of such parallelograms, given by solutions to corresponding Pell-like equations.

Postać Adama Toryaniego bez wątpienia znajdowała się w cieniu zarówno jego ojca, Franciszka I Toryaniego, architekta, rajcy krakowskiego, jak również braci: Karola, rajcy krakowskiego oraz Franciszka II, ławnika krakowskiego, a nawet bratanka Józefa, rajcy i aptekarza krakowskiego, doktora obojga praw. Poprzez związek małżeński Adama Toryaniego z przedstawicielką osiadłej na obszarze dawnych księstw oświęcimskiego i zatorskiego szlacheckiej rodziny Skorupków-Padlewskich starano się także pokazać faktyczną płynność granic międzystanowych w dawnej Rzeczypospolitej. Wprawdzie, co trzeba zaznaczyć, rodzina Toryanich (Torriani) herbu della Torre należała do starej szlachty lombardzko- szwajcarskiej, niemniej jednak nie uzyskała polskiego indygenatu, w każdym razie nie udało się dotrzeć do informacji na ten temat. Artykułowi towarzyszy edycja dwóch powiązanych ze sobą tekstów źródłowych – testamentu Adama Toryaniego, spi44 Maciej Ziemierski sanego 23 kwietnia 1756 r., oraz jego pośmiertnego inwentarza, spisanego 10 czerwca 1757 r. przez żonę Mariannę ze Skorupków-Padlewskich.

The fate of Adam Toryani (after 6 March 1701–1756/57), son of the Krakow councillor Franciszek Toryani, in the light of his testament and posthumous inventory

This article attempts to familiarise readers with the little-known figure of Adam Toryani, a representative of the Krakow judicial family of Italian-Swiss origin. Adam Toryani was undoubtedly in the shadow of his father, Franciszek I Toryani, an architect and Krakow councillor, as well as his brothers: Karol, a Krakow councillor and Franciszek II, a Krakow judge, and even his nephew Józef, a Krakow councillor and pharmacist as well as a doctor of canon and civil law. Through the marriage of Adam Toryani with a representative of the noble Skorupka-Padlewski family, settled in the area of the former Duchies of Oświęcim and Zator, there is also an attempt to show the fluidity of the inter-state borders in the former Republic. It is worth mentioning that the Toryani (Torriani) family coat of arms, the Della Torre, belonged to the old nobility of Lombardy-Switzerland, however, it did not obtain a Polish indygenat, or at least no information has been found on the subject. The article is accompanied by the edition of two related texts – the testament of Adam Toryani, written on 23 April 1756, and his posthumous inventory, prepared on 10 June 1757 by his wife, Marianna, née Skorupka-Padlewski.

Jednym z najcenniejszych zbiorów znajdujących się w Archiwum Państwowym w Lublinie jest 35/2564 Zbiór indeksów do ksiąg ziemskich, grodzkich i podkomorskich z zasobu Archiwum Akt Dawnych w Lublinie. Indeksy powstały na przestrzeni od ostatniej ćwierci XVIII w. do połowy lat 80. XIX w. Spisano je we Lwowie, w tzw. archiwum bernardyńskim, oraz w Archiwum Akt Dawnych w Lublinie, w celu sprawnego wykonywania kwerend w księgach sądowych, powstałych w szlacheckich sądach grabowieckich, horodelskich, dawnego województwa lubelskiego i ziemi chełmskiej. Indeksy zawierają imiona i nazwiska osób (stron) działających w sprawie, jej rodzaj oraz nazwę miejscowości, której sprawa dotyczy. Do 1887 r. indeksy przechowywano w Lublinie. Następnie wywieziono je do Wilna, skąd powróciły w 1919 r.

Indexes to Land, Town, and Subcamerarius Books of 18th and 19th Centuries in the State Archive in Lublin

One of the most precious collections stored in the State Archive in Lublin is the 35/2564 Collection of Indexes to land books, municipal books, and subcamerarius (chamberlain’s) books from the holdings of the Archive of Historical Records in Lublin. These indexes were drawn up from the last quarter of the eighteenth century to the mid-nineteenth century. They were drawn up in Lvov in the so called Bernardine Archive and the Archive of Historical Records in Lublin in order to improve queries of court records of gentry’s courts from Grabowiec and Horodło (former Lublin Province and Chełm land). The indexes contain first names and surnames of people (parties) acting in the court case, kind of a case and the name of a place that the case concerns. Until 1887 the indexes were kept in Lublin. Then they were moved to Vilnius, from where they returned in 1919.

This article intends to examine the phenomenon of pornography among the young generation, and its implications for the literature study approach. Data analysis showed that based on the results of research in one region of Indonesia, found 68.70% of the young generation claimed to have had sexual relations. As many as 93,00% claimed to have seen porn sites, and as many as 12,20% claimed to have had an abortion. Regarding the phenomenon of pornography among the young generation, there are at least three contributing factors, including: (1) the usage of internet networking sites freely; (2) poor understanding of adolescents about reproductive organs; and (3) low sexual education, both within the family and school. To prevent young generation from falling into pornography, there are a number of steps that are offered including: (1) should be actively involved in various positive activities; (2) should be active and creative in doing something in the interests of the nation and state; (3) should understand the various negative impacts that can be caused by having free sex; and (4) should be actively involved in the village development program, starting from the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages.

Electrospun systems can be applied to various areas, particularly in biomedicine for skin treatment. The fabricated nanofibers represent an interconnected three-dimensional network with a high surface area to volume ratio providing structural and morphological similarities with the extracellular matrix. Hence, facilitate the removal of exudates, promote gaseous exchange, conform to the contour of the treated area and in the case of drug-loaded nanofibers resulting in improved bioavailability. Polyvinylpyrrolidone was selected as a polymer carrier due to its biocompatible, hydrophilic nature with good chemical and mechanical properties, approved by the U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) as a safe polymer for biomedical and food applications. Calendula officinalis or Marigold extract is one of the oldest medical plants with numerous proven pharmacological effects including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial/antifungal and wound healing activity related to the components of the flowers such as sesquiterpenes, saponins, triterpenes, flavonoids. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10, Ubiquinone) is a naturally occurring oil-soluble antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent that supports collagen production, mostly popularized as an anti-aging ingredient in skincare products for topical use. Novel Marigold extract and CoQ10–loaded polyvinylpyrrolidone nanofibers intended for skin treatment and wound therapy were developed using the electrospinning technique. The presence of functional groups on the nanofibrous surfaces was confirmed by FTIR analysis, the SEM images show the average size of the obtained nanomats and the thermal properties were investigated via DSC analysis.
