Authors: Patryk Kupaj , Maciej Korus , Malgorzata Korzeniowska , Wieslaw Kopec 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Hen eggs are widely used, not only for human consumption, but also as an important material in food production and in pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry. Cystatin is a biologically active component of egg white, mostly used as an inhibitor of papain-like cysteine proteases. It was isolated from chicken egg white and has later been used in the nomenclature of structurally and functionally related proteins. Cystatins from animals, including mouse, rat, dog, cow and chicken egg white have been isolated and recently used in foodstuffs and drug administration. Cystatin has found its place and use in medicine due to its antimicrobial, antiviral and insecticidal effects, for the prevention of cerebral hemorrhage and control of cancer cell metastasis.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to show a calculation procedure for obtaining estimations for the carbon footprint of 1 kg of live weight of ewe, ram and lamb at the farm gate, taking into account regional typological features of agricultural production in agroecosystems. The methodology of carbon footprint (CF) calculation is based on the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology developed for agricultural products. Results revealed that in modern technology of sheep breeding, 21.41 kg CO2 e was emitted on average per kg of body weight of ewe, 19.13 kg CO2 е was emitted on average per kg of body weight of ram, 3.2 kg CO2 e was emitted on average per kg of body weight of lamb. The main distinction of Vojvodina province is the low efficiency of fertiliser application on crop fields and manure management, storage and utilisation, which has as a result high emissions of nitrous oxide. This is the field where the implementation of intensive technologies of precise farming, manure handling, utilisation and management will significantly decrease GHG emission, with preserving yield of crops and quantity and quality of sheep of all categories.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Every ecosystem on Earth is affected by people as well as has an impact on them. The connection between nature and culture, human knowledge and wisdom of Nature, between us and our environment, is in fact very strong, although sometimes underestimated. It can be promoted by a different way of designing architecture and urban plans – these all should change the quality of our decisions and consequently, once we are acquainted with better options or choices to select, also the quality of our lives will be raised. The Fourth Nature concept is being researched with the goal to identify strategies that create straight connections between culture and Nature, in order to provide humanity with better conditions for living in cities. We are urban beings, living with a current prognosis of being a part of a bigger number of urban dwellers each day. Many different ways the Fourth Nature can be practiced, seen and experienced by in several scales and forms could change our living conglomerates. As valuable places in cities, due to their insertion in the urban tissue and also as coexistence and knowledge development areas, university campuses are here taken to examine this aimed optimal relation between Nature and culture. University campuses have been for centuries an important part of human culture. Creating their own ecosystems, campuses impact on the functioning, sustainability and in the overall also on the appearance of the city, through a blue-green infrastructure implementation and its connections. Within the urban structures, they fulfil their role more significantly and provide important spatial, social, economic, visual and health functions. The area, which is often labelled as public or semi-public space, is thus a part of the blue-green infrastructure and its quality affects also the quality of the surrounding environment. The Fourth Nature is seen as a tool or as a turning point in the current environmental crisis and the university campuses are considered to be the modifiers of the quality of their surrounding environment. The intercrossed analysis of their properties in the current context may bring new ideas and application parameters for the design of the contemporary urban landscape.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Crop year impacts have been studied in a long-term trial of the Nagygombos experiments of the Szent István University, Gödöllő, Hungary. The present paper is intended to give an overview of 18 winter wheat Triticum aestivum L. varieties tested during the time range between 1996 and 2018. All of the varieties were studied under similar agronomic conditions, each of them for min 3 years in a series of a polyfactorial replicated field trials. The 120 kg.ha-1 N plant nutrition applications of the respective crop years were processed in the evaluation. Amount of grain yield, protein (%), wet gluten and farinographic values of the varieties examined were compared. The results obtained suggest that most of the varieties had a rather high variation concerning yield figures, however protein, and farinographic indicators proved to be more stable characteristics. Wet gluten values were influenced mainly by the crop year. The study supports an evidence that Fusarium graminearum infection of the trials was in accordance with the pre-harvest moisture conditions of a crop year. The study may support a conclusion that certain varieties have shown a higher stability in quality manifestation regardless to the amount of their grain yield. Alföld 90, Jubilejnaja 50, Mv Magdaléna and Mv Toldi varieties proved to be the best quality varieties in this research series.
Subjective Well-Being and its Impact on Cancer-Related Fatigue in Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy and Long-Term Survivors
Authors: Strebkova R. 
Published: November 2020

Abstract

Objective: This study examines the profile of subjective well-being among 33 patients undergoing radiotherapy at the time of the study and 30 long-term survivors for over five years. A subject of the study is also the relation between the aspects of subjective well-being (life satisfaction, positive and negative affect) and the separate dimensions of fatigue and an analysis has been made of their influence on the burden of fatigue among the examined people.

Materials and Methods: A total of 66 cancer patients were enrolled in the study – 33 patients undergoing radiotherapy and 30 long-term survivors. Multidimensional questionnaire on fatigue MFI-20 and Scale for subjective well-being (SWLS) were used to assess Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and Subjective well-being in patients during radiation-treatment and in long-term survivors. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Correlation analysis and t-test of Student. Linear regression analysis was performed to determine the predictors of fatigue score during radiation-treatment and long-term survivor cancer patients.

Results: Of all the components of subjective well-being, only life satisfaction and the positive affect showed a substantial relation with the five dimensions of fatigue, namely: general fatigue, physical fatigue, reduced activity, reduced motivation, mental fatigue. The burden of the physical and general fatigue among patients undergoing radiotherapy was estimated primarily based on the grounds of life satisfaction, (ß = -0.53; р = 0.03), respectively; (ß = -0.40; р = 0.01), the negative affect (stress) was a major predictor of the burden of general fatigue among patients belonging to the same group (ß = 0.33; р = 0.03). The positive affect predicts to a large extent the burden of the general (ß = -0.54; р = 0.02) and physical fatigue (ß = -0.36; р = 0.04) for the group of the long-term survivors for over five years.

Conclusions: In congruence with positive psychology, positive affect and life satisfaction, as aspects of subjective well-being, proved to be protective factors against the burden of fatigue. These results can guide the development of individually tailored interventions that may reduce the impact of fatigue on patients with cancer.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
The main treatment in nearly every case of thyroid cancer is surgery. The exception often refers to anaplastic carcinoma because this cancer is already widespread at the time of diagnosis. Most of the cases are treated with thyroidectomy, but small tumors that spread inside the thyroid gland might be treated by lobectomy. Intrathoracic goiter accounts for 5.8% of all mediastinal masses. On the other hand, the incidence of thyroid malignancy in cervico-mediastinal thyroid masses is 7,7%. In such cases, total thyroidectomy with en block removal of the mediastinal portion of the gland is the treatment of choice. We present a case of a 34-year-old woman with cervico-mediastinal malignant goiter.

\omega (x,f) \subseteq \overline {Per(f)}

, where Per( f ) is the set of periodic points of f ;

(2)

ω(x, f ) is either a periodic orbit or a minimal Cantor set.

In the paper by E. Makhrova, K. Vaniukova (2016 ) it is proved that

\Omega (f) = \overline {Per(f)}

, where Ω( f ) is the set of non-wandering points of f.

The aim of this note is to show that the above results (1) – (3) do not hold for monotone maps on dendroids.

Abstract
In this paper we investigate stability of the integrability property of skew products of interval maps under small C
1-smooth perturbations satisfying some conditions. We obtain here (sufficient) conditions of the partial integrability for maps under considerations. These conditions are formulated in the terms of properties of the unperturbed skew product. We give also the example of the partially integrable map.
Effect of Adding Essential Oils of Caraway and Rosemary on Volatile Aroma Compounds Derived from Stored Vacuum Packaged Minced Turkey Meat

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Changes in the odor of meat during its storage are one of the basic indicators affecting its assessment and possible disqualification. The aim of the study was to determine whether the addition of essential oils may affect the composition and concentration of volatile compounds included in the aroma of stored turkey meat. We investigated the effect of adding essential oil (EO) of caraway (0.02% v/w), rosemary (0.02% v/w) and a mixture of the two (0.01% each) on the composition of volatile compound fractions formed during 10-day storage of vacuum-packed minced turkey meat. The EOs used were also evaluated for their influence on microbial contamination (total viable count and lactic acid bacteria count), sensory quality (odor and taste) and the level of fat rancidity (acid value, peroxide value and p-anisidine value) and pH in chill-stored samples. In terms of sensory indicators, the greatest beneficial effect of adding EOs was noted in the odor of raw meat. Use of the HS-SPME/GC-MS (headspace-solid phase microextraction/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) method showed that the addition of essential oils significantly reduced the amounts of benzeneacetaldehyde, 2-octenal and ethyl 2-methyloctanoate compared with the control sample. In addition, in the presence of essential oils of rosemary and caraway, decreases were noted in benzaldehyde and 9-octadecenal, respectively. These changes may potentially affect the reception of the odor. There was a beneficial effect of the EOs in reducing the levels of fat oxidation indicators, including peroxides. However, the oils at applied concentrations had no significant effect on the total viable count and LAB count.
Determination of body shape and meristic characters variations in wild and cultured populations of cichlid fish, Oreochromis niloticus, from the Republic of Benin, West of Africa
Authors: Jawad Laith A. , Ibáńez Ana L. , Kiki Mathieu , Gnohossou Pierre 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
This study was designed to assess morphological changes between cultured and wild tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.). Wild fish samples were obtained from fishermen operating in the waters of the vicinity of the province Parakou, Benin in November 2014, while the cultured samples were obtained from a fish farm in the municipality of Sô-Ava in the Atlantic region of the southern part of the Republic of Benin. Significant differences were observed in all nine morphometric traits measured. Discriminant analysis of morphometric parameters showed high divergence between the populations. The meristic count, however, overlapped broadly showing no divergence between the populations. The morphometric differences between the cultured and wild tilapia, O. niloticus, could have been linked to genetic differences or environmental factors or a combination of these.
A handy trap for capturing of the adult river lamprey in streams
Authors: Radtke Grzegorz , Kuczyński Tomasz 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
In the Baltic Sea Basin, the river lamprey, Lampetra fluviatilis (L.), is still important to commercial fishing; however, the species is on the decline, especially in the southern part of the catchment area. At present, the river lamprey is protected by European law that requires monitoring its stocks. This article describes a convenient trap for catching adult river lamprey in streams. The gear is a small fish-pot or hoop-net with two chambers. Operating the trap is very simple, and tests indicated its usefulness for monitoring ascending river lamprey. Thus, this trap design is recommended as a standard tool for use in the future, especially since there is a lack of commercial fishery data.
Humour as a Postmodern Weapon in a Totalitarian Regime. Ioan Groşan’s One Hundred Years at the Gates of the East
Authors: Tapodi Zsuzsa , Tomonicska Ingrid 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The paper aims to show that O sută de ani de zile la Porţile Orientului [One Hundred Years at the Gates of the East], Ioan Groşan’s historical picaresque postmodern novel, can be seen – due the presence of different techniques and devices of humour – as a weapon in and against a totalitarian system. In order to do so, our approach takes into account the problem of an East European totalitarian system, the East–West antipode, the condition of the author and his possible intention in a totalitarian system, the condition of the reader and his horizon of expectations in the same system, and the sources of humour used by the author. Humour as a weapon can have a lot of roles, for example, cracking, evading, or surmounting reality, and we want to show that Ioan Groşan succeeds in doing all that. In our paper, we grouped the humour-generating incongruences and contradictions into several categories: composition, frame (space and time, situations), identity (social status, names, physical appearance, ethnic and religious belonging), and language to underline the wide range of tools used by the author.
Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging with Applications to Cardiac Muscle: Short Review
Authors: Pop Mihaela , Stefu Nicoleta 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
This review describes in brief recent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for assessing cardiac structure in healthy and pathologic state using diffusion-weighted (DW) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) approaches. A background on the theory and MR pulse sequences employed in DW/DT imaging is given, along with the calculation of diffusion tensor (D), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA). Parametric maps derived from DW/DT images can quantify microstructure alterations due to fibrotic collagen deposition, along with associated changes in cardiac muscle anisotropy. Representative examples of ADC and FA parametric maps are shown from ex vivo high-resolution DT images of explanted healthy and scarred hearts obtained from pre-clinical investigations. Furthermore, examples of fiber tractography demonstrating DTI-based 3D (three-dimensional) reconstruction of fiber directions within the heart are illustrated using advanced open-source software. Lastly, future developments and potential translation of DW/DT methods into routine clinical evaluation for cardiac MR imaging protocols are highlighted.
Public policy responses to the spread of COVID-19 as a potential factor determining health results: a comparative study of the Czech Republic, the Russian Federation, and the Slovak Republic
Authors: Chubarova Tatiana , Maly Ivan , Nemec Juraj 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The goal of this paper is to identify critical factors in success/failure of public policies focusing on fighting the spread of COVID-19 pandemic using a sample of three countries from Central and Eastern Europe with different results regarding COVID-19 morbidity and mortality rates, namely the Czech Republic, the Russian Federation, and the Slovak Republic. Based on comprehensive literature review, three independent variables were worked out: the scope/scale of public policy anti-pandemic interventions, the timing of public policy interventions, and the success of public policies in motivating compliance with anti-pandemic measures. Taking into account the similarity of measures introduced by national governments, the results suggest that the timing of public policy responses and success in motivating compliance may be critical factors in containing the pandemic.

Published: November 2020

Summary
Diagnostic microbiology and management of sepsis have advanced, even though the complication of multiorgan dysfunction remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. An estimated incidence of sepsis in 2017 is about 48 million a year, including 11 million sepsis- related deaths, which represents 19.7% of all global deaths.(1,2) Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a devastating complication of sepsis, conventionally, a substantial number of patients require mechanical ventilation (MV) to avert hypoxemia and hypercapnia. However, MV per se can cause lung injury, accelerating the disease progression. The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the management of ARDS has grown considerably in the past decade. More recently, an increasing popularity of spontaneous breathing and awake patients undergoing ECMO is seen, as well as the use of various types of hemadsorbers for reducing pathologically increased inflammatory response.(3) The purpose of this case report is to review airway and multiorgan support management during ECMO.

Acute Gastric Dilatation in a 13 Year Old Child. A Case Report
Authors: Kalnakārkle Elīna , Ābola Zane 
Published: November 2020

Summary
Acute gastric dilatation is a rare and life threatening disease. The usual symptoms of acute gastric dilatation can vary and be nonspecific, including acute abdominal pain, abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting. Many aetiologies of acute gastric dilatation are described. This article presents a case of a 13 year old girl who presented in our clinic with acute gastric dilatation after an orthopaedic operation. Clinical signs and a diagnostic pathway are presented in the report. In the early treatment of acute gastric dilatation, nasogastric tube insertion was used for gastric decompression. As a surgical approach jejunostomy insertion was used to ensure enteral feeding. Our case study shows that the optimal treatment for this pathology is mainly conservative.
Surgical Approach in Congenital Long QT Interval Syndrome Patients
Authors: Stoldere Diāna , Cimbolineca Elīna 
Published: November 2020

Summary
Long QT syndrome is a genetically determined clinical condition that can lead to sudden cardiac death, life–threatening arrhythmias, typically ventricular tachycardia – Torsades de Pointes in young, otherwise healthy, adults and children.
Congenital long QT syndrome is the most common cause of sudden death in young adults with structurally normal heart.
There are several studies, which introduce us to gene mutation types, responsible for this disease. At this point 17 types of LQTS gene mutations are recognized, most patients present with the first 3 LQTS gene mutations: KCNQ1, KCNH2, and SCN5A.
Secondary factors like electrolyte disbalance, dietary restrictions, and specific drugs may also cause QT interval prolongation. It is important to rule out avoidable causes, before further evaluation of congenital disease.
Several treatment options are used in daily practice, which also includes a surgical approach.
Although not so often used and seen, surgical technique has positive results – recognized by both doctors and patients.
