In conditions of economic and political instability, when unpredictability affects business, the need for security, including financial becomes particularly important. our study, we address this issue, with main objective comparing evaluating security small medium-sized renewable energy companies in Poland according to sustainable development goals. order study describe relationships between selected groups companies, ratios were used, canonical variate analysis. The liquidity surveyed...

This paper addresses several important problems and methods related to studies of inland waters based on the existing scientific literature. The use UAVs in freshwater monitoring is described, including recent contact non-contact solutions. Due a decline biological diversity many parts globe, main threats are described together with modern method for algae cyanobacteria utilizing chlorophyll fluorescence. Observed disturbances functioning river biocenoses mine waters’ discharge, causing...

Abstract Intercellular adhesion molecule‐1 (ICAM‐1) has been implicated in of colorectal and pancreatic cancer cells (of the SW480 PSN‐1 line, respectively) to peritoneal mesothelium. It demonstrated that ICAM‐1 expression increases with senescence some cell types, however, significance this phenomenon context malignant dissemination remains elusive. In report we show adherence senescent human omentum‐derived mesothelial (HOMCs) vitro is greater than early‐passage effect mediated by ICAM‐1....

Abstract Green parks and gardens in urban areas are an essential part of ecosystem services for inhabitants, especially cities where people affected by road noise. These problems have been the subject many studies worldwide. Such works carried out at levels—both contexts spatial planning ecological analyses. In relation to this, design noise maps related modelling is significant. The paper presents results a survey acoustic environment Dendrological Garden Poznań—the fifth largest city...

We examined the effect of resveratrol (RVT) and its two derivatives (3,3',4,4'-tetrahydroxy-trans-stilbene 3,3',4,4',5,5'-hexahydroxy-trans-stilbene) on human peritoneal mesothelial cell (HPMC)-dependent angiogenesis in vitro. To this end, angiogenic activity endothelial cells (HUVEC, HMVEC, HMEC-1) was monitored upon their exposure to conditioned medium (CM) from young senescent HPMCs treated with stilbenes or themselves. Results showed that proliferation migration were inhibited response...

Little is known on the role of selenoprotein genes in cardiovascular disease. This study examines associations SEPP1, SELENOS, TXNRD1, TXNRD2, GPX4, and SOD2 polymorphisms P (SeP) thioredoxin concentrations with development abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) aortoiliac occlusive disease (AOID), as well their influence cardiac phenotype.564 patients AAA, 400 AIOD, 543 controls were enrolled characterized for coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, systolic heart failure (HF) occurrence....

Financial liquidity and profitability are two critical phenomena present in the financial economy of a company, whose relations depend on each other may course different directions. At same time, they an example complexity problem, which demands proper approach, allowing one to reconcile opposing objectives any enterprise, i.e., maximizing benefits for owners minimizing risk losing liquidity. Until now, relationship between has not been examined explicitly, using multidimensional methods...

Abstract The study aimed at estimating the reliability of river classification based on macrophytes under differentiated habitat conditions. studies were carried out between 2002 and 2005, within EU STAR project two other local projects. Factors taken into consideration included: shading, modification, lengths survey sections. Polish lowland watercourses surveyed. analyzed streams represented a wide range degradation. Several macrophyte-based metrics evaluated, including major European...

An inadequate selenium level is supposed to be a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. However little known about variation of the genes encoding selenium-containing proteins that would confirm causality in these The aim this study was analyze relationships between two functional variants selenoprotein P gene (SEPP1 rs3877899G>A, rs7579G>A) and occurrence abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD), as well their metabolic factors. In AAA, rs3877899A allele...

Dysfunction of the arterial endothelial cells promotes progression atherosclerosis. We studied how exposure human to atherosclerotic serum from patients with peripheral artery disease changes secretory activity these cells, and whether that reaction is modified by sulodexide.Endothelial in vitro culture were exposed standard medium ± 100pg/mL Interleukin-1(IL-1) or supplemented 20% serum. Afterwards, expression genes responsible for synthesis Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Vascular Cell Adhesion...

In several countries around the world, agricultural land area exceeds 70% (Uruguay 82.6%, Kazakhstan 80.4%, Turkmenistan 72.0%, Great Britain 71.7%, Ukraine 71.6% and others). This poses a serious risk of dissipating nitrates into aquatic environment in catchments. The aim this study was to assess impact use on water quality parameters an catchment area. It decided select for analysis Orla River (river length 88 km, 1,546 km 2 ). is predominantly character its entire has been declared as...

Aging of the arterial endothelial cells results in appearance their inflammatory phenotype, which may predispose patients to acceleration arteriosclerosis. We studied effect serum from with peripheral artery disease (PAD) on senescence human aortic (HAEC) and how that process is modulated by sulodexide.HAEC replicative aging vitro was presence 10% PAD-serum (PAD Group) or10%PAD Sulodexide 0.5 LRU/mL (PAD-SUL group). In control group were cultured medium supplemented fetal bovine serum. All...

As many as four rivers affected by brown coal mine waters were surveyed: Noteć (Lubstów open-pit mine), Pichna (Tomisławice), Widawka (Bełchatów), and Grójecki Channel (Drzewce).Identical procedures of sampling laboratory analyses applied in all them.Heavy metal concentrations, pH reaction, conductivity river sediments analyzed warm periods 2012 2013 to assess the impact on riverbed material.Data heavy pH, water recorded 2011-13.For Lubstów mine, closed year 2009, data from samples collected...

Currently, one of the most serious threats to environment in rural areas is industrial livestock production, which generates a significant amount chemical and biological pollution. It causes pollution waters, affects biodiversity, has an impact on climate. Research was carried out Orla River (Poland) with catchment area 1.546 km2. Studies were concentrated pH, dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, other factors. Analyses conducted buildings two buffer zones, 1 3 km wide, respectively, included...
