Authors: Tsakeni Maria , Jita Loyiso
Published: April 2021

In the wake of the United Nations’ Agenda 2030 on sustainability, this study problematizes how conditions in multiple-deprived science classrooms are intricately connected to the sustainable development goals (SDGs). This narrative inquiry design research consisting of one participant, describes how the conditions of multiple-deprivation in science classrooms are influenced by, and in turn influence the achievement of, some of the SDGs. The narratives were contained in the reflections documented by a Bachelor of Education (BEd) preservice physical sciences teacher of his third- and fourth-year teaching practice experiences whilst conducting observations and teaching in multiple-deprived classrooms. The study was undergirded by education for sustainable development (ESD) and the SDGs as conceptual frameworks. The data collected were analysed through narrative data analysis techniques, revealing forms of deprivation in the science classroom which were driven by the SDGs related to poverty elimination, quality education, reduction of inequalities and social injustice, promotion of sustainable communities, and establishment of partnerships for goal attainment. The study findings show how the teaching and learning in multiple-deprived classrooms may pose as a challenge to the attainment of the SDGs, pointing out to some implications for practice.

Published: April 2021

During field studies in 2019 in the Beskid Śląski mountain range in southern Poland, one individual morphologically resembling
Polystichum setiferum
was found. Nuclear DNA content analysis confirmed the species identity. The new stand of
P. setiferum
corresponds to historical literature reports and herbarium specimens from the Czech Republic and Poland, and extends the northeastern limit of the distribution of this species. As the historical stands in both countries have not been confirmed, the newly discovered stand is at present strongly isolated, as the nearest extant locations of
P. setiferum
in Austria, southern Hungary, and western Romania are nearly 500 km away. Therefore, this unique stand deserves special attention and protection.

Published: April 2021

Aim. In the sports training of the best competitors around the world, there are many ways to organize the direct preparation for a start. This training stage usually determines success. Despite such awareness, there is no knowledge as to which training system model can be considered the best in preparation for the most important sports event. Selection of the most effective variant of a champion’s sports training system in direct preparation for the Olympic Games in the 50 km race-walk. Basic procedures. In our research, we based on the assumptions of the multi-criteria Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which was developed by T.L. Saaty. The goal of the work progressed steadily: the main criteria (training measures, renewal, volume, Substantive structure training, base) were determined and subcriteria were allocated to them. A multi-level structure of the problem was built in the form of a hierarchical tree with respect to the main objective. A special interview with questionnaire was developed utilizing Saaty’s 9-level fundamental comparison scale. These interviews were conducted with 14 coaches of the best athletes in Poland and the world in the 50 km race-walk. It’s the purpose of the study was to defi ne the main criteria and subcriteria within the structure of hierarchical dominance (preferences, weights). The article gives the priority (weight) for all criteria and subcriteria as the geometric average of all the trainers’ answers. The subsequent step in fi nding the best way to prepare the athletes for the 50 km race-walk was to develop training models and choose the best alternative. The computer programms Super Decisions and Expert ChoiceTM were used to perform calculations. Results. Among the 5 established criteria, training measures were the highest (Ptr. meas.=0.389) for all experts (coaches). Analysis shows that training in the DPS is the most important criterion. The next two measures (Substantive structure training and base) were given equal priorities (Pmat. str.= PB=0.180). Less important was the volume (Pvol.=0.146), and the least important – renewal (Pren.=0.104). The sum of the priorities is always 1 (100%). The highest global priority was achieved by the PE subcriterion (19.61%). Among the 4 decision alternatives (training models), the best turned out to be the model by the younger-generation Polish coaches. Conclusion. The AHP is an adequate tool that demonstrates the fi ndings well, therefore it may be suitable in choosing the most appropriate training alternative in the direct preparation for a start in the 50 km race-walk.

Published: April 2021

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of exercises of plantar short foot muscles on foot posture and gait parameters in long-distance runners. Basic procedures: The study involved 48 long-distance runners aged 21-45 years. The runners performed the short foot muscle exercises daily for 6 weeks. The Foot Posture Index (FPI-6) and gait parameters (G-walk) were measured twice: at baseline and after 6 weeks of exercises. Results: Lower values of the Foot Posture Index (FPI-6) were observed. In the assessment of gait parameters runners obtained lower cadence, walking speed, stride length and % stride length/height. Gait cycle duration was increased. Conclusions: Exercises strengthening short foot muscles have beneficial effect on foot alignment by change of foot posture from a slight pronation towards a neutral foot. Change of gait parameters may indicate on improvement of motor control and shift natural and comfortable walking speed towards lower values. The short foot muscle exercises should be included as a part of daily training programme of runners.

Modern IT penetration leads to the sharing with usage of information devices, especially PCs, in teaching and learning process. Nowadays, according to the specialists’ research, in Ukraine above 9,5 million people are PC users (in fact, one in five people), but half of them is children and teenagers. As a result the changes in functional activity of different organs and systems are produced, but work with video-display terminals exerts the most influence on visual analyzer (Cochina 2009, Kovtun 2008). Goal of research: to study the visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in senior pupils while working at the computer monitor, and when disorders are determined to offer their effective correction. Methods and materials: Sixty healthy senior pupils (120 eyes) with emmetropic refraction were examined. The visual acuity and contrast sensitivity were investigated by special computer techniques. At the first stage the effect of one-hour uninterrupted computer work on visual functions was studied. Their state after a fifteen-minute passive rest was determined at the second stage. The author’s program “Eyesight Preservation and Restoration” that includes special exercises for eyes, upper limb girdle and neck with the elements of breath-holding, followed by the determination of the parameters in question was used at the third stage. Results of the research: We have found decrease in the visual acuity by 7.4% after one-hour constant visual strain on the computer monitor. Conspicuous is the fact that doing the restoration exercises for fifteen minutes after one-hour visual strain increased the visual acuity by 7.2%. It is worth pointing out the contrast sensitivity increases to 36,1 ± 1,42% and 36,08 ± 1,65% respectively in the right eye and in the left eye after one-hour visual workload. This indicates the contrast sensitivity decrease in the eyes and the reduction of successful implementation of visual work under the changes in brightness. Conclusions: Thus, the indices of the visual functions, such as the visual acuity and contrast sensitivity change under the impact of the work on the PC, but the fifteen-minute set of the restoration exercises brings them closer to the baseline.

Published: April 2021

Aim. Over the last few years an increasing number of people have started training out with kettlebells (KBs) all over the world. Unfortunately, there is very little scientific data about the effect of training with KBs, and essentially no research has been done on the various kettlebell sports which are developing dynamically. The main aim of this paper was to analyse the intensity of physical effort during the 10 minute Snatch Test (10 min ST) at the HardStyle Kettlebell Polish Championship (HSKPC). Our research also included an analysis of the contestants’ body composition on the competition day. Basic procedures. Ten male contestants and five female contestants were examined. Physical effort intensity was measured using Polar Team2 Pro. Body composition was evaluated with the Tanita SC-330 immediately before the start of the competitions. The mean values of the analyzed parameters in the study contestants were compared with the best male and female contestants of the Championship. Results. The heart rate during intensive exertion for the 10 min ST was consistently at a high level (80-89% HRmax) or very high level (90-100% HRmax). Such a high HR was maintained for 98% of the exercise performance, and the mean relative energy expenditure were 14.4 METs among the women and 15.5 METs among the men. An analysis of body composition showed that participants of the HSKPC were characterized by an athletic build. Conclusions. Even though the contestants lift relatively heavy loads during the 10 min ST (men 24 or 28 kg, women 16 kg) the effort can be described as an endurance test. Considering all the competitions taking place during the HSKPC and the results of the participants it can be stated that these competitions are unusually demanding and require versatile physical fitness, as well as strength, endurance and coordination.

Authors: Kucia Katarzyna , Dybińska Ewa , Białkowski Tomasz , Pałka Tomasz
Published: April 2021

INTRODUCTION The lifeguard is the person in charge of safety in water environments. After a rescue, it is possible that he has to execute a CPR. The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) as well as theAmerican Heart Association are currently encouraging a quality CPR performance. The lifeguard may be obliged to carry out a CPR during a long period of time as the response of the Emergency Medical Service takes 5–8 min on average and it can even reach 20 min. The normal respiratory muscle effort at maximal swimming intensity requires a significant fraction of cardiac output and causes leg blood flow to fall. The main objective of this paper was to determine respiratory muscle fatigue (RMF) level in swimming with different intensity on quality and efficiency rescu action in the water.
MATERIAL AND METHODS The study involved eleven lifeguards male (9) and female (2); age: (24.25±1.5); body height( 176,27±7,88) and body mass (75.81±11,01)form University School of Physical Education, Cracow. Two tests were conducted: the first test involved the execution of 5 min of CPR (rested), and the second one in performing water rescue and subsequent CPR (exhausted) for 5 minutes. The quality of the CPR at rest and at fatigue condition was compared. The recording instrument was the Ambu Defib Trainer W (Wireless).The time and precision of the simulated water rescue was also registered. Two spirometry tests were performed the first test was set before swimming and the second after (exhausted). Maximal respiratory pressures (PImax, PEmax) were evaluated before and directly after swimming in different intensity.The quality of the respiratory muscle fatigue at rest and at fatigue condition was compared. The recording instrument was portable MicroLoop spirometer.
RESULTS After e simulated water rescue significantly increase parameters such as: ventilation minute volume rested (3,06±22,10) exhausted (4,23 ±22,10. P < .001); ventilation rate rested (3.60±34.80) exhausted (4,80 ±34.80. P < .001); and stomach inflation rested (2,0±20,47) exhausted (5.80 ±20.47. P < .001). The greatest variation in the results of the respiratory muscle fatigue both before and after swimming with different intensity was observed only in two parameters: maximal ventilation index (MVV) and peak exhaust flow (PEF).
CONCLUSIONS The accumulated fatigue during a simulated water rescue performed by lifeguards reduces the quality of compression depth and pause between compressions. The following respiratory parameters were found to have the strongest effect on the swimming: during maximum exercise intensity and FEV 1 (-0.77) rested and FEV 1 (-0.57) exhausted and FVC (-0.79) rested and FVC (-0.70) exhausted.

Published: April 2021

Aim. The study aimed to assess changes in calf muscle stiffness after eccentric exercise (ECC), followed by Muscle Energy Technique (MET). Our second goal was to evaluate the reliability of novel MyotonPRO device for measurements of calf muscle stiffness in athletes. Basic procedures. The study was conducted on 18 athletes form University School of Physical Education in Wrocław, practicing various sport disciplines. Stiffness measurements were obtained five times, bilaterally over calf muscle: 1) test for the relative and absolute reliability, 2) re-test, 3) before single bout of ECC, 4) after ECC but before MET, 5) after application of MET. The results were evaluated using RM-ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc test. P-value < 0.05 was considered significant. Main Findings. Measurements of calf muscle were obtained with a reliable, hand-held and easy to use in filed conditions MyotonPRO device. Myoton Technology provides an accurate and sensitive way for the objective and non-invasive digital palpation of soft tissues, what may find many uses in professional sport. Results. The test-retest relative reliability was found to be almost perfect, with ICC of 0.898 (95% Confidence Interval: form 0.851 to 0.930). The average SEM was 21.81 N/m and average MDC equated 60.42 N/m. There was a significant increase of right calf muscle stiffness after single bout of eccentric exercise, comparing to its initial values (P<0,001), and the left leg (P=0,002). There was a significant decrease of muscle stiffness after performing MET (P=0,001). Initially and after MET there was no difference between left and right leg (P=0,06). Conclusions. The study showed that a single application of MET restores the normal stiffness level increased after a single bout of ECC significantly. It also proved MyotonPRO to be a reliable tool to assess calf muscle stiffness in athletes.

Published: April 2021

Aim. The aim of this report is to identify variables determining the effectiveness of small football games at subsequent stages of training. Material and Methods. The study material comprised the results of tests conducted among 42 football players who were assigned to 3 categories: youngsters, younger juniors and seniors. The scope of the study included basic somatic features, selected motor skills tests and specific coordination tests of motor skills recommended for football players. Detailed correlation matrices were calculated using Spearman’s signed-rank test between all the analysed variables and the overall game perforance index (OPI). For each training group, morpho-functional profiles were calculated taking variables from previous analyses into account. Variables forming the structure of these models were normalised on the T scale. Results. 11 statistically significant Spearman’s signed-rank correlation coefficients were obtained between game performance indices and the analysed variables. In the 3 training groups of football players, considerable diversity of the internal structure of morpho-functional models was noted. In the group of juniors and seniors, differentiation between features was 1.2 of standard deviation. Conclusions. In terms of fitness, the influence of circulatory-respiratory endurance and speed ability on the indicator of overall performance for the seniors’ game was noted. In turn, taking the neuro-functional side of the players’ motor ability into account, correlations with the effectiveness of the game were mainly found within the ability of balance, kinesthetic differentiation and motor adaptation. Such regularities mainly refer to the youngsters and younger juniors.

Published: April 2021

Aim of the research was to find out and compare individual subsystems of selected types of aggressiveness and individual types of hostility within age categories of learners of sports hockey classes.
Research sample consisted of sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth grade boys from primary schools. Age of learners varied from 11 to 14 years. Total sample consisted of 120 learners. The research was it was implemented with the help of a standardized psychological questionnaire B – D – I.
In the results we‘re comparing the differences in individual subspecies of aggressive behaviour and also in overall aggressiveness between younger and older learners grade. It turned out that in all of the observed comparisons older learners achieved higher average values of the weighted score than younger. The difference was confirmed also by the nonparametric Mann Whitney U test, which at the unilateral test of 5 % level of demonstrability tells that between younger and older learners there‘s statistically significant difference p = 0.031. Also, any increased value of the resentment didn‘t occur neither among younger learners who achieved the average value of the weighted score 4.19 nor among older learners with the average value of the weighted score 4.81 and therefore there is not statistically significant difference (p = 0.681). Our research revealed that controlling emotions such as aggression is very important. Therefore, it‘s important to pay enough attention to the young athletes and their coaches to prevent any manifestations of aggressiveness from their performers and to encourage them to play fair-play sports.

SERIA A TEORIA DA SUBJETIVIDADE UMA VERTENTE DA PSICOLOGIA HISTÓRICO-CULTURAL?
Authors: Santos Murillo Rodrigues dos
Published: April 2021

Este trabalho tem como objetivo situar a teoria da subjetividade no contexto da Psicologia histórico-cultural, respondendo à pergunta: seria a primeira uma vertente da segunda ou seriam teorias independentes? Para dar conta de tal questão, lança-se mão de uma reflexão teórica baseada na revisão de textos importantes de González Rey, tentando identificar pontos de semelhança e dessemelhança com a proposta vigostkiana, pela demarcação das categorias propostas pelo autor cubano e sua interlocução com as propostas do autor soviético. Com base nisso, chega-se à conclusão de que a teoria da subjetividade tem importantes aproximações ontológicas e epistemológicas com a Psicologia histórico-cultural, mas que, por esta também ter uma base na teoria da complexidade, trata-se, de fato, de uma releitura pós-moderna desta.

Authors: HUANG Guosheng , MA Li , XING Lukuo , LI Xiangbo
Published: April 2021

Cold spraying metallic coatings on ceramics (Ceramics Metallizing) are widely concerned in electrical industry due to its high density, low oxidation and high electrical conductivity. However, the bonding reliability of cold spraying coating on ceramics is usually considered to be poor since the metal particles don’t experience melting. The present paper is to exam the bonding quality of a cold spraying copper coating on a thermal sprayed alumina layer influenced by ceramics roughness and copper particle hardness. Pure copper coatings were successfully deposited on Al2O3 coated Q235 steel substrate with different roughness by cold spraying at 260 ℃ and 1.6 MPa using different hardness pure copper powders. The bonding quality and characteristics were studied by analyzing the surface, the cross-sectional microstructure of the coating and its interface after pull-off test. The results indicate that the high bonding quality (ranging from 8.26 MPa to 11.35 MPa) between copper coating and Al2O3 layer attributes to both metallurgical and interlock effect, which is mainly influenced by the hardness of the copper powders instead of Al2O3 surface roughness. The soft character of the pure copper powder makes it ready for deformation, subsequently interlocks with Al2O3, fills into the pores more completely, which increases the bonding quality between the copper coating and the Al2O3 layer.

Published: April 2021

The prototype of removable visual impact indicator for thermoset polymer composite materials is developed, and its characteristics are experimentally determined. The indicator is a fabric tape glued by epoxy to the surface of the polymer composite. The tape is impregnated with a composition that provides a visual response at the place of an impact on the composite surface. Ball-drop tests demonstrated the increase of the magnitude of the visual response with the impact energy at different substrate hardnesses. The shelf-life and mode of the tape storage until commissioning are determined. Peel tests showed the ability to remove a used indicator without damaging the surface of the composite.

The complexity of satellites has continued to increase, and the focus of satellite competition has shifted from the launch of success shifts to communication capacity, performance indicators, degree of flexibility, and continuous service capabilities. So, the importance of onboard avionics system is becoming increasingly prominent. In the future, the advanced avionics system integrates most of the platform’s electronic equipment. The design level of the system largely determines the performance of the satellite platform. This chapter focuses on the application requirements of the new generation of intelligent avionics system for future communication satellites and adopts an “open” architecture of “centralized management, distributed measurement and drive, and software and hardware ‘modular’ design” to build a universal, standardized, and scalable intelligent avionics system.

Minerals and elementary compounds of heavy metals are part of the ecosystem. Because of their high density and property to accumulate in stable forms, they are considered to be highly toxic to animals, plants and humans. Continuous mining activities and industrial effluents are the major sources which are adding toxic heavy metal ions into ecosystem and biota. Hence it is of utmost importance to quantify the levels of heavy metal ions in environmental and biological samples. On the other hand, it is equally important to remove the heavy metal ions and their compounds from the environmental and biological samples. That facilitates the environmental samples to be fit for using, consumption. In this regard, promising quantification methods such as electrochemical, spectrophotometric, naked eye sensing, test strips for spot analysis of heavy metal ions are considered for discussion. The main objective of this chapter is to give the overview of the most practiced quantification approaches available in the literature. Please note that reader cannot find the pin to pin publications regarding the same and that is not the aim of this book chapter.

Published: April 2021

The insertion of the needle is difficult because the deformation and displacement of the organs are the key elements in the surgical act. Liver and tumor modeling are essential in the development of the needle insertion model. The role of the needle is to deliver into the tumor an active chemotherapeutic agent. We describe in this chapter the deformation of the needle during its insertion into the human liver in the context of surgery simulation of the high- robotic-assisted intraoperative treatment of liver tumors based on the integrated imaging-molecular diagnosis. The needle is a bee barbed type modeled as a flexible thread within the framework of the Cosserat (micropolar) elasticity theory.
Application of Smart and Functional Dyes in Textiles
Authors: Pargai Deepti
Published: April 2021

Our future will be based on functional and AI based smart products, where every industry wants to develop these kinds of products. Textile industry also cannot remain untouched with this technological innovation. Dyes have been utilising for coloration of textiles since ancient time. But at present with various advancement in technology as well as requirements of consumers, the need for functional and smart dyes arises. Various current researches are based on application of smart and functional dyes on textile to develop smart and functional textiles. The dyes which add the functional and smart properties to the textiles can be called as functional and smart dyes. Functional and smart dyes are available in both synthetic and natural form. But with the environment concern, the researchers are going on to find out natural source of these dyes. Functional dyes such as UV protective dye, antimicrobial dye, moth repellent dye offer specific function after application on textiles. Smart dyes like photochromic, thermochromic, electrochromic and solvatochromic etc. are playing very imp role to develop a smart textile which can offer reversible colour change which leads to impart various properties such as thermoregulation, camophlage properties into the textiles. Functional dyes generally limited to the textiles sector but smart dyes are not just restricted to it. Application of smart dyes is extended to various fields such as automobiles, robotics, aircrafts, medicine and surgery etc. This chapter will mainly deal with the types, application methods and application area of functional and smart dyes especially in connection with textiles.

Published: April 2021

Neural circuitry controlling limbed locomotion is located in the spinal cord, known as Central Pattern Generators (CPGs). After a traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), ascending and descending tracts are damaged, interrupting the communication between CPGs and supraspinal structures that are fundamental to initiate, control and adapt movement to the environment. Although low vertebrates and some mammals regain some physiological functions after a spinal insult, the capacity to recover in hominids is rather limited. The consequences after SCI include physiological (sensory, autonomic and motor) and mental dysfunctions, which causes a profound impact in social and economic aspects of patients and their relatives Despite the recent progress in the development of therapeutic strategies for SCI, there is no satisfactory agreement for choosing the best treatment that restores the affected functions of people suffering the devastating consequences after SCI. Studies have described that patients with chronic SCI can achieve some degree of neurorestoration with strategies that include physical rehabilitation, neuroprosthesis, electrical stimulation or cell therapies. Particularly in the human, the contribution of supraspinal structures to the clinical manifestations of gait deficits in people with SCI and its potential role as therapeutic targets is not well known. Additionally, mental health is considered fundamental as it represents the first step to overcome daily adversities and to face progression of this unfortunate condition. This chapter focuses on the consequences of spinal cord disconnection from supraspinal structures, from motor dysfunction to mental health. Recent advancements on the study of supraspinal structures and combination of different approaches to promote recovery after SCI are discussed. Promising strategies are used alone or in combination and include drugs, physical exercise, robotic devices, and electrical stimulation.
Characteristics of Dipteran Insects
Authors: Helvacı Murat
Published: April 2021

Diptera means two wings (Di: two, pteron: wing). They have complete metamorphosis and they are holometabolous insects which means there are 4 stages (egg, larvae, pupae and adult). The name of larval stage is “maggot”. Some of the dipteran insects cause damage in agricultural production. Some are harmful for humans. Dipteran insects have two wings. Hind wings are reduced and they are called “halteres”. Function of halteres is balancing when the insects fly. Except mosquitoes, dipteran insects have sponging-sucking mouthparts. Important examples for dipteran insects are Olive fruit fly and Medfly which cause damages in agricultural production. OFF is the most destructive pest in olive growing areas and Mediterranean fruit fly cause damages in fruit production.

Published: April 2021

Fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster is a most powerful animal model for exploring fundamental biological processes and modeling molecular and cellular aspects of human diseases. It provides the flexibility and tool box with which scientists can experimentally manipulate and study behavior as well as gene expression in specific, defined population of cells in their normal tissue contexts. The utility and increasing value of a sophisticated genetic system of flies, the tool box available for studying physiological function, functional imaging, neural circuitry from gut to brain, taste receptors expression and controlling gene expression by determining the specific cells in the intestine, makes fly gut the most useful tissue for studying the regulation of feeding behavior under changing internal state. To understand the intestine and its connectivity with the brain, Drosophila has proved an ideal model organism for studying gut brain axis aspects of human metabolic diseases. Various markers and fly lines are available to characterize the expression of transgenes in the intestine. The newly generated genetic tools aim to streamline the design of experiments to target specific cells in intestine for genetic manipulations based on their type and location within physiologically specialized intestinal regions. This chapter will be useful for understanding post-ingestive sensing system that mediate food preferences and to investigate fundamental biological processes and model human diseases at the level of single cells in the fly gut. Furthermore, the utility of adult fly gut can be extended to the study of dietary and environmental factors relevant to health and disease by screening for cells and micro circuits stimulated by internal state or the consumption of various nutrients.

Published: April 2021

Sterols are secondary metabolites, they are considered bioactive, due to their recognized activity as antioxidants, anticarcinogenic, cardiovascular protectors, and antiviral capacity. These triterpenoids can be found in a wide range of concentrations in different algae strains, being the variations related to external factors. In the world, there are millions of algae, some strains have the ability to produce high-value phytosterols, like stigmasterol, and sitosterol, however, others could lead to cholesterol production. For this reason, understand the principal factors involved in sterols biosynthesis, allows us to appoint the algae strain for industrial application and escalating these specific compounds production. Some algae are capable to produce sterols from mevalonic acid pathway, other strains present the methylerythritol 4-phosphate (MEP), or 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate (DOXP) as the main pathway, each one is responsible for the production of plans of intermediary compounds. In this sense, this chapter summarizes current knowledge of the biosynthetic pathways responsible for different sterols formation, as well as, describe main sterols that could be isolated from algae metabolism.

Published: April 2021

The analyses performed in clinical laboratories require a high level of precision, selectivity, and sensitivity. The rising number of therapeutic agents from both the field of small and large molecules and the increasing use of modern screening approaches have brought mass spectrometry into almost every clinical laboratory. The need to screen the patients and to follow the therapy’s success can often be fulfilled only by the highly selective and sensitive targeted approach with mass spectrometry. With improving instrument design and miniaturization of the separation technologies, mass spectrometry is no longer an exotic analytical approach. The use of mass spectrometry is now not restricted to the use in a clinical laboratory, but it is used in operating rooms for instant and on-site helping the surgeons with defining the margin of the tissue to be extracted. In this manuscript, we describe the use of mass spectrometry for selected clinical applications and show the possible way of future applications.
