Rimvydo Valatkos komentarų apie Rusijos ir Ukrainos karą ypatumai: stilistinis aspektas
Authors: Aleksaitė Agnė 
Published: December 2023

The object of the study covered by this article is the emotives and expressives used by the journalist Rimvydas Valatka in his comments on the war between Russia and Ukraine that were published on the delfi.lt news portal in 2022. A total of 44 such comments have been found. The goal of the article is to determine the quantity and the style of the instruments that Valatka uses in his comments on the war that Russia has started in Ukraine.
The journalist’s texts are defined by a variety of stylistic figures (with lateral instruments totalling 218 (36.1%)), and 92 (15.3%), appropriately), figurative verbs (77 (12.8%)), neologisms (43 (7.1%)), and dysphemisms (39 (6.5%)) that are used most frequently (with primary instruments totalling 385 (63.9%)).
The lateral stylistic instruments are not marked by any degree of productivity and consist of slang (29 (4.8%)); inclusions from foreign languages (26 (4.3%)); metaphorical and figurative nouns (23 (3.8%)); antonomasias and personal names (20 (3.3%)); irony (20 (3.3%)); similes (20 (3.3%)); parcellation (18 (2.9%)); interjections and onomatopoeic interjections (15 (2.5%)); allusions (13 (2.2%)); remakes (7 (1.2%)); sayings, proverbs (6 (1%)); barbarisms (6 (1%)); vulgarisms (6 (1%)); paraphrases (5 (0.8%)); and swearwords (4 (0.7%)).
Original comments use negative connotative stylistic instruments to give an emotionally charged descrip- tion of the warmongering Russian President Vladimir Putin, his entourage (political mates, broadcasters of the Kremlin’s propaganda, supporters of the Kremlin’s policy), the Russian troops, and every modern-day antihero (war supporters, passive politicians) who actively or passively (through their political indifference and failure to act) endorses and supports the war in Ukraine.
Simple, Rapid, and Highly Sensitive Magnetic Beads ELISA for Detection of SARS CoV-2 Antibodies (IgG) in Human Plasma Samples as a Point of Care Assay
Authors: Bhatia S. 
Published: December 2023

The pandemic outbreak of coronavirus (SARS CoV-2) has been going on over the last 3 years. The people are vaccinated with different vaccines targeting the S protein. Aim. Therefore, it is essential to have an assay that can detect different parts of the virus as a serological assay and can be performed as a point of care test. Hence, in this work, we decided to develop such an assay with the help of magnetic beads. Methods. The magnetic beads ELISA (MB ELISA) was developed in a microtube. The viral ligand-specific magnetic beads were used to detect the nucleoprotein (NP)-specific IgG antibodies in human plasma samples. The results were read with the naked eye as well as with professional ELISA readers. Results. 7 μL magnetic beads were suitable to detect the presence of NP-specific antibodies. The assay needs only a magnetic rack and a pipettor to be performed. The results were available within 30 min. The positive results were observed as yellow color visually but also read in ELISA reader as OD values. The sensitivity of this assay was 1:108 dilutions. The cross-reaction panel was negative with different pathogens and negative human plasma. Conclusions. This work may be the first report in literature about the development of a magnetic beads ELISA as a point of the care assay, which is reproducible, highly sensitive, robust, and easy to perform. It was used to detect the presence of NP-specific IgG antibodies in the plasma samples successfully. This assay can be used as a professional assay, where the results can be measured with an ELISA reader. This assay may be suitable in small clinics also under field conditions. It can be used to detect the SARS CoV-2 infection in vaccinated persons (S protein-based vaccines) along with non-vaccinated population in latent and active phase.
Die Aucissafibeln in der römischen Provinz Pannonia
Authors: Berecz Katalin 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThe paper is dealing with 194 Aucissa brooches from 27 sites in the Roman province of Pannonia, based on the results and methodology of international archaeological and historical research. Aucissa fibulae, as costume items, are one of the leading artefacts of the early imperial period, initially used mainly by soldiers (sagum), and are therefore an important archaeological source for the Roman expansion, occupation and Romanisation. In Pannonia 98% of the Aucissa fibulae were recovered from settlements, mainly from the early layers of military forts and later towns. The material of the fibulae is bronze, there is only a single known item being silver-plated. The formal, technological and chronological analysis of the Aucissa fibulae in Pannonia is followed by a costume, historical and archaeological analysis. The Aucissa brooches in Pannonia can be dated from the beginning of the 1st century A.D. to the first decades of the 2nd century A.D. The earliest types (subtypes A242.1,2,3) are found in military forts along the Roman expansion trail. The Aucissa brooches come from the areas of the East–West military expansion route (the Drava-Save interfluve, Siscia, Sirmium, Gomolava), the North–South expansion route to the Danube (Amber Road, Salla, Savaria, Carnuntum) and the Danube limes (Brigetio, Matrica, Rittium). The smaller number of later types of fibulae (subtypes A242.4,5,6) found in the interior of the province of Pannonia (vici) indicates a process of Romanisation of the local population (Bátaszék, Csákberény, Mezőörs). The Aucissa brooches can also refer to cultural and trade relations with the Barbaricum (Púchov culture); they can indicate the movement of the Roman army (Devín, Mušov) and also the mobility of people (Veresegyház, Szeged). In some places Aucissa brooches later appeared in the clothing of civilians and women (Emona).
Das Gräberfeld des römischen vicus bei Biatorbágy
Authors: Ottományi Katalin 
Published: December 2023

AbstractNear Biatorbágy, along the northern side of Road 100, Éva Maróti, archaeologist of the Ferenczy Museum of Szentendre, excavated a part of a cemetery in 2004. 36 early and late Roman graves were found with Avar Period burials mixed in between. The cemetery was used from the second half of the first century to the end of the fourth one. An early Roman horse burial and several undamaged bronze vessels are among the most significant finds. The cemetery begins with three indigenous skeletal burials followed by four cremation ones from the 2nd and 3rd centuries and 27 skeletal burials appearing in the second half of the 3rd century. The richer part of the 4th-century population was buried in stone or brick walled graves. Most grave goods were in the stone walled graves. Glazed jugs and female jewellery must be highlighted amongst these grave goods. The cemetery most likely belonged to the Roman settlement excavated on the border of Biatorbágy and Törökbálint being inhabited for several centuries. The burials fit in with the cemeteries of the vici (Budaörs, Biatorbágy, Páty) in the southwestern area of Aquincum.

AbstractOxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) steel is a sought-after composite material known for its high demand in high-temperature and corrosive environments. Achieving the desired ODS steel properties requires specific conditions for the size and nanoparticles (NP) distribution in the printed part. Laser ablation in liquid (LAL) enables precise NP size adjustment. At the same time, the dynamic melt pool solidification in the Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB/M) process complements this by creating favorable conditions for successful ODS processing. In this study, ZrO2 NP with a small and narrow particle size distribution (d50 = 3.8 nm; d90 = 10 nm) is produced by LAL. Dielectrophoretic deposition achieves the homogeneous, deformation-free coating of the binary Fe20Cr (wt.-%) matrix powder with NP. PBF-LB/M printed parts out of the oxide-additivated powder exhibit a crack-free structure and a density of up to 98%. Expectedly, the metal matrix grain sizes and room temperature microhardness (~ 220 HV) are not affected by NP addition. NP tracing by 2D simulation indicates a homogeneous NP distribution and less than 10% NP to be agglomerated in the solidified part. Thus, a promising perspective for a complete laser-based process chain for generating and processing ODS alloys is outlined.

Introduction Over the last decades numerous new materials and techniques for bone tissue engineering have been developed. The use of bioresorbable polymeric scaffolds is one of the most promising techniques for surgical management of bone defects. However, the lack of bioactive properties of biodegradable polymers restricts the area of their application for bone tissue engineering.The aim of study was to apply solvent/non-solvent treatment to coat the surface of 3D-printed bioresorbable poly(ε-caprolactone) scaffolds with bioactive hydroxyapatite particles and report on the physicochemical properties of the resulting materials.Material and Methods In the present study, biomimetic poly(ε-caprolactone) scaffolds were 3D-printed via fused deposition modeling technology and their surface was treated with the solvent/non-solvent method for coating with bioactive particles of hydroxyapatite.Results It has been found that treatment in the mixture of toluene and ethanol is suitable for the coating of poly(ε-caprolactone) scaffolds with hydroxyapatite. The scaffolds maintain porous structure after treatment while hydroxyapatite particles form homogeneous coating. The amount of hydroxyapatite on the treated scaffolds was 5.7 ± 0.8 wt. %.Discussion The proposed method ensures a homogeneous coating of outer and inner surfaces of the poly(ε-caprolactone) scaffolds with hydroxyapatite without a significant impact on the structure of a scaffold. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed that the solvent/non-solvent treatment has no effect on the chemical structure of PCL scaffolds.Conclusion Coating of biomimetic 3D-printed PCL scaffolds with bioactive hydroxyapatite by the solvent/non-solvent treatment has been successfully carried out. Upon coating, scaffolds retained their shape and interconnected porous structure and adsorbed hydroxyapatite particles that were uniformly distributed on the surface of the scaffold.

Published: December 2023

Introduction Assessment of biological characteristics of polylactide/hydroxyapatite (PLLA/HA) biodegradable materials is requiered to specify indications for the use of PLLA/HA composite implants in clinical practice.The present study was aimed to measure the kinetics of calcium and phosphate release from PLLA and its dependence on polymer structure crystallinity. Material and methods Four types of biodegradable materials were studied in vitro. Samples of type 1 and type 3 made of crystalline PLLA after annealing contained 25 % and 50 % of HA mass fraction, respectively. Samples of type 2 and type 4 made of amorphous PLLA (without annealing) contained 25 % and 50 % of HA mass fraction, respectively. In every group, 6 samples were tested. The samples were incubated in an aqueous medium at 37 °C for 52 weeks. The rate of PLLA degradation was assessed by the accumulation of lactate monomer in the hydrolysate. The concentrations of calcium ions and phosphate ions were determined for assessment the HA hydrolysis rate. The degree of crystallinity of the polymer matrix was evaluated by scanning calorimetry.Results The hydrolysis of PLLA and HA in the samples was not simultaneous. The PLLA was hydrolyzed first followed by HA hydrolysis. By the moment of complete hydrolysis of PLLA, there was only 15 % of hydrolyzed HA. The release of calcium ions occurred from the sixth week of incubation for all tested samples, that of phosphate ions from the third week. The total amount of the released calcium ions and phosphate ions decreased in the line: material 3 > material 4 > material 1 > material 2. Calcium ions in the hydrolysates were detected up to 42 weeks of incubation, phosphate ions up to the 52nd week.Conclusion Higher crystallinity of PLLA achieved by annealing results in increased rate of hydrolysis of HA from PLLA matrix. Biological activity of PLLA/HA implants can be determined by degree of polymer crystallinity and saturation with HA.
Mechanical stimulation of distraction regenerate. Mini-review of current concepts
Authors: Cherkashin A. 
Published: December 2023

Introduction One of the key limitations of distraction osteogenesis (DO) is the absence or delayed formation of a callus in the distraction gap, which can ultimately prolong the duration of treatment.Purpose Multiple modalities of distraction regenerate (DR) stimulation are reviewed, with a focus on modulation of the mechanical environment required for DR formation and maturation.Methods Preparing the review, the scientific platforms such as PubMed, Scopus, ResearchGate, RSCI were used for information searching. Search words or word combinations were mechanical bone union stimulation; axial dynamization, distraction regenerate.Results Recent advances in mechanobiology prove the effectiveness of axial loading and mechanical stimulation during fracture healing. Further investigation is still required to develop the proper protocols and applications for invasive and non-invasive stimulation of the DR. Understanding the role of dynamization as a mechanical stimulation method is impossible without a consensus on the use of the terms and protocols involved.Discussion We propose to define Axial Dynamization as the ability to provide axial load at the bone regeneration site with minimal translation and bending strain. Axial Dynamization works and is most likely achieved through multiple mechanisms: direct stimulation of the tissues by axial cyclic strain and elimination of translation forces at the DR site by reducing the effects of the cantilever bending of the pins.Conclusion Axial Dynamization, along with other non-invasive methods of mechanical DR stimulation, should become a default component of limb-lengthening protocols.

ТРАКТУВАННЯ ЕНЕРГЕТИЧНИХ МЕТОДІВ У ТЕОРІЇ ТЕРТЯ ТА ЗНОШУВАННЯ З ПОЗИЦІЙ МЕХАНІКИ СУЦІЛЬНИХ СЕРЕДОВИЩ ТА ТЕОРІЇ ДИСЛОКАЦІЙ

При сучасних триботехнічних розрахунках істотна роль відводиться теоріям тертя та зношування, що базуються на енергетиці процесів, які відбуваються на зовнішніх шарах деталей, що взаємодіють. Так, енергетичний підхід дозволив сформулювати точку зору, що при динамічному навантаженні двох пружних тіл, в результаті тертя, частина енергії оборотна і йде на розвиток пружних коливань, інша частина енергії непружної взаємодії деталей, на молекулярному рівні, перерозподіляється на інші види енергій і розсіюється в вигляді теплової енергії в навколишнє середовище, при цьому енергія, що залишилася, у разі коливань поверхневих шарів накопичується як незворотна частина потенційної енергії в більш глибоких шарах деталей. Ця енергія при досягненні певного порогового значення сприяє руйнуванню поверхневих і підповерхневих шарів елементів фрикційної пари. Облік температурних ефектів при терті дозволив ряду дослідників при визначенні коефіцієнтів і сил тертя виходити з гіпотези утворення містків зварювання при терті металів та подальшого їх руйнування.
Крім того, набули поширення гіпотези про дифузію атомів при терті елементів кінематичної пари, а також гіпотеза про можливість рекристалізації металів (та інших матеріалів) при кімнатній температурі.
Як узагальнення результатів розглянутих гіпотез автором [1] доведено, що процес тертя має подвійну природу і може бути описаний за допомогою молекулярно-механічної теорії тертя та зношування.
Наявність значної кількості гіпотез і теорій тертя та зношування, як явищ фізичних, обумовлено зручністю енергетичного підходу та надзвичайною складністю самого процесу.
Запропонована робота спрямована на уточнення та в деяких випадках спрощення триботехнічних та супутніх теплових розрахунків.
Implementation of investments resulting from the National Plan for Municipal Wastewater Treatment
Authors: Stachowicz Monika 
Published: December 2023

Purpose of the study: The aim of the paper is to assess the degree of implementation of sewage investments in Poland, resulting from the National Plan for Municipal Wastewater Treatment. NPMWT defined the most important investments that were to bring sewage management to the standards resulting from the Urban Wastewater Directive within the deadline negotiated by Poland in the Accession Treaty.
Methodology: The assessment of the implementation of the discussed investments was made on the basis of an analysis of the NPMWT, its last update from 2022 and data from the Central Statistical Office on the condition of sewage infrastructure in Poland. The analysis covered the years 2002-2022 and was of a comparative nature.
Main findings: Despite many investments, Poland still does not comply with the EU law. At the end of 2020 in 675 agglomerations with Equivalent Number of Residents ≥ 2000 (44,3% agglomeration in total) the sewage infrastructure was insufficient or the existing collective sewage systems and sewage treatment plants still did not meet the requirements of the Directive. This does not apply to the entire agglomeration, but only means that the assumed indicators of sewage treatment or sewage system have not been achieved in them.
Application of the study: The analysis contained in the article may be useful for central and local authorities responsible for investments in local infrastructure and students of faculties related to environmental protection and administration.
Originality/Novelty of the study: The subject discussed in the paper concerns important, current issues related to the fulfilment by Poland of the European Union law concerning the standards of urban wastewater treatment. The analysis of the sewage infrastructure was carried out from the point of view of equipping agglomerations measured by the size of the ENR, as well as nationwide – on the basis of data from the Central Statistical Office.
