Pedestrian safety management using the risk-based approach
PublicationThe paper presents a concept of a multi-level pedestrian safety management system. Three management levels are distinguished: strategic, tactical and operational. The basis for the proposed approach to pedestrian safety management is a risk-based method. In the approach the elements of behavioural and systemic theories were used, allowing for the development of a formalised and repeatable procedure integrating the phases of risk...

New Chalcones Derivatives With Potent Antitumor Activity And Their Metabolism In Vitro
PublicationChalcone derivatives exhibit a broad range of biological activities, with antioxidant and cytotoxic properties among the most studied. Despite numerous reports on chalcones as cytotoxic, and potentially anticancer agents, very little is know on their actual mechanism of activity. Generally, chalcones are considered as antimitotic agents, which interfere with tubulin assembly.We have recently developed a new class of chalcones with...
