Testing Stability of Digital Filters Using Multimodal Particle Swarm Optimization with Phase Analysis
PublicationIn this paper, a novel meta-heuristic method for evaluation of digital filter stability is presented. The proposed method is very general because it allows one to evaluate stability of systems whose characteristic equations are not based on polynomials. The method combines an efficient evolutionary algorithm represented by the particle swarm optimization and the phase analysis of a complex function in the characteristic equation....

Investigating beliefs in anti-vax conspiracy theories among medical students
PublicationAbstract: While the doctors’ role in immunization is essential, their lack of knowledge or vaccine hesitancy may affect their ability to communicate effectively and educate patients about vaccination, vaccine hesitancy, and vaccine conspiracy theories. This, in turn, may hinder health policy aimed at fighting infectious diseases. Vaccine hesitancy is prevalent not only among the general population but also among healthcare...

Różnicowanie C. albicans i C. dubliniensis w oparciu o polimorfizm genu syntazy homocytrynianowej z wykorzystaniem metody PCR RFLP
PublicationNajczęstszym czynnikiem etiologicznym zakażeń wywołanych przez drożdżaki z rodzaju Candida jest C. albicans. Gatunek ten posiada bardzo zbliżone cechy fenotypowe do C. dubliniensis co często wiąże się z błędną identyfikacją. Skutkuje to wtórnym zakażeniem wywołanym przez współwystepujący gatunek C. dubliniensis, który nabywa oporność na flikonazol stosowany w terapii C. albicans. Celem badań była konstrukcja układu diagnostycznego...

Self-Association of Amphotericin B: Spontaneous Formation of Molecular Structures Responsible for the Toxic Side Effects of the Antibiotic
PublicationAmphotericin B (AmB) is a lifesaving antibiotic used to treat deep-seated mycotic infections. Both the pharmaceutical activity and highly toxic side effects of the drug rely on its interaction with biomembranes, which is governed by the molecular organization of AmB. In the present work we present detailed analysis of self-assembly of AmB molecules in different environments, interesting from the physiological standpoint, based...
