The work-family interface: Job demands, work engagement and turnover intentions of Polish nurses
PublicationA conflict between one's professional life and one's family life may lead to lower well-being both at work and home. Most nurses are women who have traditionally reconciled their professional life with family life. One aim of this study was to examine the relationships between the work-family conflict (WFC),the family-work conflict (FWC), and the perception of job demands (quantitative workload and interpersonal conflicts at work)....

Job Demands, Engagement, and Turnover Intentions in Polish Nurses: The Role of Work-Family Interface
PublicationBackground: Poland has lower ratios of employed registered nurses per 1,000 inhabitants than the EU average. Polish nurses work under miserable conditions without assisting personnel, and they reconcile their professional demands with responsibilities for their families; 96% of them are women. Rationale/Aims: This study uses Hobfoll’s conservation of resources (CORs) theory to explain the role of various resources in the improvement...

Smart Materials in Architecture: Useful Tools with Practical Applications or Fascinating Inventions for Experimental Design?
PublicationFor at least several decades smart or so-called intelligent materials, being the result of great advancements in material engineering, appear in architecture in different applications. Most of them are called "smart" because of their inherent properties: a real-time response to environmental stimuli. There are also those considered to be "smart" due to smart design: their original structure or the composition of their materials...

Modification of quaternary structure of Candida albicans GlcN-6-P synthase and its desensitization to inhibition by UDP-GlcNAc by site-directed mutagenesis
PublicationSite-directed mutagenesis of the CaGFA1 gene encoding glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase from Candida albicans was performed. Desensitization of the enzyme to inhibition by UDPGlcNAc was achieved upon T487I and H492F substitutions at the UDP-GlcNAc binding site, exchange of D524, S525 and S527 for Ala at the dimer:dimer interface and construction of the tail-lock array (L434R and L460A) at the C-tail region. The first two sets if...

Dead time effects compensation strategy by third harmonic injection for a five-phase inverter
PublicationThis paper proposes a method for compensation of dead-time effects for a fivephase inverter. In the proposed method an additional control subsystem was added to the field-oriented control (FOC) scheme in the coordinate system mapped to the third harmonic. The additional control loop operates in the fixed, orthogonal reference frame ( α - β coordinates) without the need for additional Park transformations. The purpose of this method...
