Humic substances (HS) are compounds with a complicated structure, present in the humus soil layer, water, lake sediments, peat, brown coal and shales. Due to their similar physicochemical properties DNA, they may have an adverse effect on subsequent use of isolated material. The main aim this research was examine HS DNA isolation depending type land use, taking into account spectroscopic full characteristics fractions.The conducted eight types sample. Soils represented most important Soil...

Abstract Metal pollution of the environment remains a very important topic for scientific discussion. Vanadium (V) is one toxic elements with most extensive distribution in nature. Despite vast use V heavy industries, its presence can be harmful to living organisms. Soil polluted by released from both natural and anthropogenic sources. The high mobility soil plants directly affects humans. current review provides an overview impact certain biological–chemical properties on bioavailability,...

Carbon transformations in the environment are extremely important due to observed climate changes. Various types of pollution resulting from human activity a factor that modifies occurrence these natural processes environment. One pollutants is vanadium, presence which constantly increasing For this reason, aim study was investigate influence vanadium (the most toxic form, pentavalent) on efficiency methane oxidation Leptosol soil. Our research allowed us identify methanotrophs genera...

Methane (CH4) oxidation in soil reduces the concentration of this greenhouse gas due to activity methanotrophic bacteria. This process is influenced by chemical and physical parameters soil. We tested selected mineral soils (Mollic Gleysol, Haplic Podzol, Eutric Cambisol) contaminated with lead (Pb) under different water potentials (pF 0; 2.2; 3.2). The heavy metal was added as PbCl2 two doses. Together initial content Pb soils, final contents were 11.6 30.8 mg kg-1 Cambisol, 7.1 26.3 12.2...

We investigated vanadium, i.e., a redox-active heavy metal widely known for the generation of oxidative stress in cultured mammalian cells, to determine its ability interfere with common stress-related bioassays cell-free conditions. first assessed prooxidant abilities (H2O2 level, oxidation DHR 123, and DCFH-DA dyes) antioxidant capacity (ABTS, RP, OH, DPPH methods) popular cell culture media, Minimal Essential Medium (MEM), Dulbecco’s (DMEM), Medium-F12 (DMEM/F12), RPMI 1640. Out four...

Vanadium is ranked as one of the world's critical metals considered important for economic growth with wide use in steel industry. However, its production, applications, and emissions related to combustion vanadium-containing fuels are known cause harm environment human health. Pyruvate, i.e., a glucose metabolite, has been postulated compound multiple cytoprotective properties, including antioxidant anti-inflammatory effects. The aim present study was examine potential sodium pyruvate (4.5...

Currently, the increasing pollution of environment by heavy metals is observed, caused both natural factors and those related to human activity. They pose a significant threat health life. It therefore important find an effective way protecting organisms from their adverse effects. One potential product showing protective effect green tea. has been shown that EGCG, which found in large amounts tea, strong antioxidant properties can protect cells effects metals. Therefore, aim study was...

Oxidative stress (OS) is a mechanism underlying metal‐induced toxicity. As redox‐active element, vanadium (V) can act as strong prooxidant and generate OS at certain levels. It also attenuate the antioxidant barrier intensify lipid peroxidation (LPO). The potential of V reflected in enhanced LPO, demonstrated by us previously rat liver, prompted to analyze response nuclear factor erythroid‐derived 2‐related 2/Kelch‐like ECH‐associated protein 1 (Nrf2‐Keap1) system involved cellular...

Celem powyższego opracowania było przedstawienie zależności zachodzących pomiędzy wychowaniem do wartości moralnych a celami osiąganymi polityce. Autor omawia koncepcje polityki i wychowania przyjęte przez Arystotelesa, św. Tomasza z Akwinu Katarzynę ze Sieny. Na ich podstawie analizuje, w jaki sposób usprawnianie cnót człowieku wpływa na jego życie codzienne, podejmowane wybory, społeczne zaangażowanie polityczne. Omówione zostały cztery cnoty kardynalne ujęciu Akwinu....

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie wyzwań, jakie stawia człowiekowi współczesna przestrzeń polityczna. Autor wyjaśnia szeroki i wąski zakres przestrzeni politycznej, a także różnicuje ją od publicznej. Ukazuje człowieka działającego tu teraz, w określonych uwarunkowaniach współczesnego świata sposób nieunikniony zanurzonego świat polityki przez bierne czynne prawo wyborcze. Stawia pytania o moralną ocenę indyferentyzmu politycznego, to, czy netarchia e-demokracja może stać się nową...
