Determination of EC50 toxicity data of selected heavy metals toward heterocypris incongruens and their comparison to "direct-contact" and microbiotests
PublicationW artykule omówiono czułość organizmu Heterocypris incongruens wobec metali ciężkich. Pomimo iż test Ostracodtoxkit F jest dostępny hadlowo na rynku od wielu lat to brak jest danych na temat czułości i selektywności tego organizmu, a dane na ten temat są niezbędne podczas interpretowania wyników oznaczeń toksyczności chronicznej próbek gleb i osadów. Wyniki LC50 oraz EC50 zostały też porównane z danymi innych handlowo dostępnych...

Evaluating Pornography Problems Due to Moral Incongruence Model
PublicationIntroduction To date, multiple models of problematic pornography use have been proposed, but attempts to validate them have been scarce. Aim In our study, we aimed to evaluate the Pornography Problems due to Moral Incongruence model proposing that self-appraisals of pornography addiction stem from (i) general dysregulation, (ii) habits of use, and (iii) moral incongruence between internalized norms and behavior. We investigated...

Chemometric Evaluation of WWTPs’ Wastewaters and Receiving Surface Waters in Bulgaria
PublicationWastewater treatment plant (WWTP) installations are designed and operated to reduce the quantity of pollutants emitted to surface waters receiving treated wastewaters. In this work, we used classical instrumental studies (to determine chemicals and parameters under obligations put with Directive 91/271/EEC), ecotoxicological tools (Sinapis alba root growth inhibition (SA-RG) and Heterocypris incongruens mortality (MORT) and growth...

Frequency of use, moral incongruence, and religiosity and their relationships with self-perceived addiction to pornography, internet use, social networking and online gaming
PublicationBackground and Aims Moral incongruence involves disapproval of a behaviour in which people engage despite their moral beliefs. Although considerable research has been conducted on how moral incongruence relates to pornography use, potential roles for moral incongruence in other putative behavioural addictions have not been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of moral incongruence in self‐perceived...

Badanie toksyczności wód, osadów i ścieków w zlewni rzeki Bug.
PublicationW pracy przedstawiono wyniki badania ekotoksyczności wód, osadów i ścieków zlewni rzeki Bug. Badania prowadzono z wykorzystaniem następujących organizmów: Daphnia magna, Lemna minor, Vibrio fisheri, Sinapis alba, Tamnocephalusplatyurus, Brachionus calciflonis, Heterocypris incogruens. Badania pozwoliły wyznaczyć miejsca, które w obrazie przeprowadzonych testów należy uznać za zanieczyszczone chemicznie. Badania ekotoksykologiczne...

Ocena ekotoksyczności próbek osadów portowych z Morskiego Portu Gdańsk i Morskiego Portu Gdynia
PublicationPogłębianie basenów portowych jest powszechnie stosowanym procesem we wszystkich krajach świata. Jest to proces przynoszący zyski ekonomiczne oraz stanowi rozwiązanie problemów związanych z odmulaniem kanałów. Niemniej powinniśmy być świadomi negatywnych skutków tego procesu, jakim jest zakłócenie naturalnej flory i fauny a także skażenie terenu składowania wydobytego urobku. Wiele krajów wprowadziło wytyczne dotyczące zagospodarowaniem...

Ocena ekotoksyczności próbek osadów portowych z morskiego portu Gdańsk i morskiego portu Gdynia
PublicationW pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań ekotoksykologicznych (wobec bakterii Vibrio fischeri i małżoraczka Heterocypris incongruens) osadów z portu w Gdańsku i Gdyni. Osady uśrednione z rdzeni z obu portów można określić jako niestwarzające zagrożenia (poza dwiema próbkami z portu w Gdyni). Wybrane próbki pobierane z określonych głębokości wykazywały znacznie wyższą toksyczność wobec organizmów wskaźnikowych niż próbki uśredniane. Niska...

Hazard assessment of sediments from a wetland system for treatment of landfill leachate using bioassays
PublicationFour bioassays were used in this study for the hazard assessment of sediments from sediment traps and several ponds in a treatment wetland for landfill leachate at Atleverket, Sweden. In the 6-day solid phase microbiotest with the sediment-dwelling crustacean Heterocypris incongruens both acute and chronic effects were observed with a gradual decrease and loss of toxicity with treatment in the wetland system. Some samples showed...

Assessment of toxic and endocrine potential of substances migrating from selected toys and baby products
PublicationAnalysis of literature data shows that there is limited information about the harmful biological effects of mixture of compounds from the EDC group that are released from the surface of toys and objects intended for children and infants. One of the tools that can be used to obtain such information is appropriate bioanalytical tests. The aim of this research involved determining whether tests that use living organisms as an active...

The Influence of Articular Cartilage Thickness Reduction on Meniscus Biomechanics
PublicationObjective Evaluation of the biomechanical interaction between meniscus and cartilage in medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. Methods The finite element method was used to simulate knee joint contact mechanics. Three knee models were created on the basis of knee geometry from the Open Knee project. We reduced the thickness of medial cartilages in the intact knee model by approximately 50% to obtain a medial knee osteoarthritis...

Infedeltà nel trasferimento delle collocazioni nella traduzione dei romanzi di Michel Houellebecq dal francese all’italiano
PublicationBuilding on my PhD project, this paper explores fidelity challenges in the transfer of verb-nominal collocations (VNC) in the Italian translations of seven of Michel Houellebecq’s novels. I examine various kinds of infidelity, such as omissions, errors, incongruence in constituent transmission, incoherence in recurrent VNC transmission, and infidelity at the level of phraseological coverage. The accurate transfer...

Application of COSMO-RS-DARE as a Tool for Testing Consistency of Solubility Data: Case of Coumarin in Neat Alcohols
PublicationCoumarin is a naturally occurring lactone-type benzopyrone with various applications in the pharmaceutical, food, perfume, and cosmetics industries. This hydrophobic compound is poorly soluble in water but dissolves well in protic organic solvents such as alcohols. Despite the extensive use of coumarin, there are only a few reports documenting its solubility in organic solvents, and some reported data are incongruent, which...
