Abstract
The aim of the research was to evaluate the accumulation level of copper, zinc and nickel in forest mushrooms – Bay Bolete (Xerocomus badius), Saffron Milk Cap (Lactarius deliciosus), Rough-Stemmed Bolete (Leccinum scabrum), Slippery Jack (Suillus luteus) and Parasol Mushroom (Macrolepiota procera). The analysed mushrooms were obtained from growth forests located in the Masovian Voivodeship in the following counties: Siedlce, Sokołów, Łosice and Łuków. Total content of metals was determined using the method of atomic emission spectroscopy with inductively coupled plasma, after the earlier mineralisation of materials ‘by dry combustion’ in a muffle furnace at the temperature of 450°C, and after melting of ash in a 10% solution of HCl. In the soil samples taken from the places where the tested mushrooms occur, pH in 1 mol KCl·dm-3 and total content of copper, zinc and nickel were determined by the ICP-AES method after earlier mineralization in mixture of concentration HCl and HNO3 (3:1) in a microwave system. Test results were statistically analysed with the use of software STATISTICA 12 PL (STATSOFT, TULSA, USA). The analysed mushrooms had diverse content of the determined metals. The highest total average content of copper and zinc was present in Bay Bolete: 34.83 mg ∙ kg-1d.m. for Cu and 155.50 mg ∙ kg-1d.m. for Zn, and the highest average content of nickel was contained in Rough-Stemmed Bolete – 2.98 mg ∙ kg-1d.m.. The lowest average content of copper and zinc was determined in Rough-Stemmed Bolete: 11.98 mg ∙ kg-1d.m. for Cu and 91.90 mg ∙ kg-1d.m. for Zn, and lowest total average content of nickel was present in Bay Bolete – 1.05 mg ∙ kg-1d.m.
No excessive accumulation of examined heavy metals was stated in the analysed mushrooms species.

Abstract
Medical waste is mostly generated by health care centres and veterinary, research and pharmacological facilities as well as laboratories. As the number people using home treatment rises from year to year, and the number of aesthetic medicine offices increases, the problem of potentially hazardous waste affects an increasingly larger population, and can no longer be restricted to the qualified hospital staff. Medical waste falls within the group of hazardous waste since it poses environmental threat of epidemiological contamination with pathogens and pathogenic bacteria. The article presents the classification and properties of medical waste and their impact on the environment. The legal status regarding the utilization of such waste in Poland was discussed as well.
Soil Organic Matter Quality in Soils With Different Levels of Manure Fertilisation

Published: May 2021

Abstract
Soil organic matter (SOM) significantly affects the growth, development and yield of cultivated plants. In the era of increasing agriculture intensification and adverse changes in the crop structure as well as climate change, it is important to know the processes affecting the accumulation and degradation of SOM. This paper aims to assess the quality of organic matter in Stagnic Luvisol fertilised with bovine manure to varying degrees. Soil samples were taken in spring from topsoil after pre-sowing treatments. Three soil profiles were selected: soil fertilised with manure annually at a dose of 30 t ha−1, soil fertilised with manure every 4 years at the same dose and soil deprived of organic fertilisation in the past several years. The following laboratory analyses were performed (soil pH, total carbon content). Sequential fractionation of organic matter was carried out based on the Schnitzer method. In humic acid preparations, the elemental composition (CHNO and H/C ratio) was determined and spectrophotometric properties were measured. The conducted tests revealed a significant impact of manure fertilisation on the quantity and quality of organic matter. In the soil fertilised with manure annually, a much larger amount of SOM was found with a greater share of labile forms. In addition, humic acids extracted from the soil were characterised by lower maturity as well as molecular weight and condensation of the aromatic part of their structure.

Abstract
The proper management of traumatic hand injury is crucial for wound infection prevention. Antibiotics in various forms and conditions are prescribed to avoid this complication, but the effectiveness is unclear. Most forms used are intravenous solutions, topical ointments, and oral tablets. This prospective case-control trial was conducted in a tertiary care hospital. Healthy adult patients with simple, non-bite, surgically treated hand wounds were included. During the surgery, a proper debridement and irrigation with simple saline was consistently performed. Patients were randomly assigned to one of the eight groups. Seven groups received different antibacterial prophylaxis and one received none. At the two-week postoperative follow-up the wound site was assessed and any local infection was documented. Patients were excluded from the trial if they did not comply to treatment recommendations (i.e. commence antibiotics, applied solutions or ointments on the wound). Overall, 240 patients (80.2% male, mean age 38.7 years), 30 in each study group were included. 226 patients returned for the follow-up, and seven patients were excluded from the trial. Wound infection was observed in five patients from different groups. Thus, the rate of wound infection was 2.28%. A Chi-square test revealed no difference in infection incidence between the groups (p > 0.05). In this study, antibiotics did not affect incidence of wound infection after hand trauma. Attention should be paid to proper debridement and irrigation of the wound as these interventions reduce the risk for wound infection and avoid unnecessary usage of antibiotics.
Towards new seed orchard designs in Germany – A review
Authors: Liesebach Heike , Liepe Katharina , Bäucker Cornelia 
Published: May 2021

AbstractNew first and 1.5 generation seed orchards are to be created in Germany based on recently assembled breeding populations ofAcer pseudoplatanus,Larixsp.,Picea abies,Pinus sylvestris,Pseudotsuga menziesii, andQuercussp. To justify the high expenses in time and cost for orchard establishment and maintenance, planning should make use of consolidated knowledge and experience of both the national and international scientific community. Here, we briefly describe advances in genetic gains achieved through tree breeding, and resume population genetic aspects and design considerations to draw conclusions for clonal composition and spatial design of the new orchards.We conclude that to avoid outbreeding depression separate orchards are required for each breeding zone. The zones are species-specific and defined by ecological and climatic aspects. A minimum of 60-80 clones per orchard is recommended for native tree species with high proportions of natural regeneration in forest practice. This would allow future selective thinning based on estimated breeding values from progeny testing. It would also permit the transfer of seed orchard progenies into a naturally regenerating forest stands without the risk of a genetic bottleneck. Lower clone numbers are appropriate for non-native species and hybrids. It is important to strictly avoid inbreeding depression, achieved by using only one clone per progeny or population, from which the plus trees were selected. Further, the spatial layout should promote random mating by optimizing the neighbourhood of each clone. With all of these considerations taken into account, we expect superior quality traits and at least 10-15 % more volume from the new seed orchards.

In the course of the research, it was found out that the highest rates of photosynthetic activity of Carthamus tinctorius were noted in the variant where pre-sowing treatment of seeds with a growth stimulator zircon + treatment of crops in the budding phase with siliplant microfertilizer was carried out. In this variant, the leaf area of the best variety Ershovsky 4 was 35.3 thousand m2 / ha, dry aboveground biomass - 7.49 t / ha, photosynthetic potential - 1941 thousand m2 / ha·day; net productivity of photosynthesis - 3.86 g / m2·day. On average for 2018–2020, the highest yield of safflower oilseeds of the Ershovsky 4 variety reached 1.89 t / ha. The highest (1.74 t / ha) average annual yield of safflower oilseeds of Astrakhanskiy 747 variety was also obtained using a similar option. To ensure a consistently high productivity of Carthamus tinctorius agrocenoses in the arid conditions of the steppe zone of the Saratov Right Bank, it is recommended to expand the cultivation areas of the most adapted variety Ershovsky 4, using pre-sowing seed treatment with a zircon growth stimulator (30 ml / t) and processing crops in the budding phase with siliplant micronutrient fertilization (1 , 0 l / ha).

Published: May 2021

Recently, the Web-based learning (WBL) platform, particularly for higher education, has become more crucial due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Thus, due to the increased use of WBLÂ Â in higher education, an effective WBL interface design for higher education is truly important in order to attract students to use WBL and to further keep them engaged during learning via the Web-based platform. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the aesthetics of web interfaces based on expertsâ€™ opinions. This study adopted a quantitative research approach involving a data-gathering survey. Fifteen (15) WBL interfaces were designed based on nine (9) design principles which were balance, proportion, simplicity, alignment, movement, hierarchy, consistency, contrast, and proximity. The results of this study discovered that nine (9) WBL interfaces were determined by the experts as aesthetic interfaces, five (5) WBL interfaces as non-aesthetic and 1 (one) WBL interface was considered neither aesthetic nor non-aesthetic. This finding revealed that six (6) out of nine (9) interfaces had the balance design principle. However, balance was also in most non-aesthetic interfaces. A possible reason that balance was the most design principle in both the aesthetic and the non-aesthetic interfaces is that when designing WBL interfaces, there is a need to consider the combination of the design principles as a whole, and not count the design principles individually. In conclusion, this study's findings could contribute to the knowledge in the Human Computer Interaction domain, specifically in the interface design area.

ABSTRAKMedan magnet ELF merupakan gelombang elektromagnetik dengan frekuensi sampai 300 Hz dan tergolong sebagai radiasi non ionizing. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain randomized subject post-test only control group design, dengan pembagian dua kelompok subjek penelitian dipilih secara acak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh paparan medan magnet ELF .terhadap nilai pH buah anggur hitam. Dalam penelitian ini ada dua kelompok yaitu kelompok kontrol dan eksperimen, dimana kelompok eksperimen diberi perlakuan medan magnet ELF intensitas 300μT dan 500μT selama 60’ dan 120’ untuk masing-masing intensitas. Analisa data nilai pH buah anggur menggunakan SPSS 24 yaitu uji kruskal wallis. Berdasarkan hasil analisa data didapat bahwa medan magnet ELF intensitas 300μT dan 500μT berpengaruh terhadap nilai pH buah anggur hitam. Nilai pH kelompok kontrol lebih tinggi dari kelompok eksperimen. Hal ini disebabkan karena intensitas di bawah 500μT menekan pertumbuhan mikroorganisme pembentuk asam didalam buah angggur hitam. Kata kunci: medan magnet ELF; analisa data; pH. ABSTRACTThe ELF magnetic field is an electromagnetic wave with a frequency of up to 300 Hz and is classified as non-ionizing radiation. This study used a randomized subject post-test only control group design, with the division of two groups of research subjects randomly selected. This study aims to determine the effect of exposure to ELF magnetic fields on the pH value of black grapes. In this study, there were two groups, namely the control and experimental groups, where the experimental group was treated with an ELF magnetic field with an intensity of 300μT and 500μT for 60 'and 120' for each intensity. The data analysis of the pH value of grapes used SPSS 24, namely the kruskal wallis test. Based on the results of data analysis, it was found that the ELF magnetic field with the intensity of 300μT and 500μT had an effect on the pH value of black grapes. The pH value of the control group was higher than the experimental group. This is because the intensity below 500μT suppresses the growth of acid-forming microorganisms in the black grapefruit.

A finite element model of the human lower thorax to pelvis spinal segment: Validation and modal analysis
Authors: Fan Wei , Zhao Dan , Guo Li-Xin 
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND: Several finite element (FE) models have been developed to study the effects of vibration on human lumbar spine. However, the authors know of no published results so far that have proposed computed tomography-based FE models of whole lumbar spine including the pelvis to conduct dynamic analysis. OBJECTIVE: To create and validate a three-dimensional ligamentous FE model of the human lower thorax to pelvis spinal segment (T12–Pelvis) and provide a detailed simulation environment to investigate the dynamic characteristics of the lumbar spine under whole body vibration (WBV). METHODS: The T12–Pelvis model was generated based on volume reconstruction from computed tomography scans and validated against the published experimental data. FE modal analysis was implemented to predict dynamic characteristics associated with the first-order vertical resonant frequency and vibration mode of the model with upper body mass of 40 kg under WBV. RESULTS: It was found that the current FE model was validated and corresponded closely with the published data. The obtained results from the modal analysis indicated that the first-order vertical resonant frequency of the T12–Pelvis model was 6.702 Hz, and the lumbar spine mainly performed vertical motion with a small anteroposterior motion. It was also found that shifting the upper body mass centroid onwards or rearwards from the normal upright sitting posture reduced the vertical resonant frequency. CONCLUSIONS: These findings may be helpful to better understand vibration response of the human spine, and provide important information to minimize injury and discomfort for these WBV-exposed occupational groups.

BACKGROUND: Rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy (RCCT) is a very frequent and debilitating disease often treated with Ultrasound-guided percutaneous irrigation (UGPI) followed by physiotherapy. OBJECTIVE: A multicenter observational clinical study was designed to assess the effects of physiotherapy after UGPI on the functional recovery of the shoulders of patients suffering from RCCT. METHOD: One hundred sixty-six patients (mean age 50.7± 7.6 years), 121 women, with painful RCCT were treated with UGPI and assessed at the day of UGPI (T0), and at one (T1), 3 (T2) and 6 (T3) months after treatment by the Constant- Murley Score (CMS), Oxford Shoulder Scale (OSS) and Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). Patients were divided into 2 groups, Physiotherapy (PT+) and not Physiotherapy (PT-) according to the performance of the rehabilitation program based on personal decision. RESULTS: A significant improvement at T1 in all outcomes in both groups and between T1 and T3 for NRS during movement and OSS was found, but not for NRS at rest and CMS. There was no difference between groups for all outcome measures. In 27,1% of patients symptoms recurred in an average of 13 ± 8 weeks. CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that post-UGPI not-standardized physiotherapy might not provide additional clinical benefits in short and medium term. Further studies could assess the effectiveness of physiotherapy performed after three months in patients with recurrence of pain.
