Flora of Middle Asia collection

The collection of vascular plants from Middle Asia (mainly Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan with some from Uzbekistan). It consists of approx. 15,000 specimens with ca. 6,000 identified. They were collected during 2006-2021 in almost all vegetation types and habitats of the Global Hotspot of Biodiversity “Mountains of Central Asia”. The collection was used to comparative studies on several groups of species and is the voucher collection for a number of ecological studies.

From Richard Owen to Charles Darwin, Understanding the origin of biological diversity

2018

Biodiversity and Evolution includes chapters devoted to the evolution and biodiversity of organisms at the molecular level, based on the study of natural collections from the Museum of Natural History. The book starts with an epistemological and historical introduction and ends with a critical overview of the Anthropocene epoch.

Terrestrial Magmatic System

Magmatic processes are central to the geosciences, as they constitute the main connection between the deep solid Earth and the surface. They are responsible for the creation of continents on Earth, for the generation of large ore deposits, and for catastrophic volcanic eruptions that directly and indirectly affect the lives of millions of people. Over the last decade, significant advances have been made in our investigation of magmatic systems, and we now know that we can only understand such systems in an integrative and interdisciplinary manner. They need to be considered at the mantle-to-atmosphere scale and not just by analyzing shallow magma chambers that directly feed volcanoes. It ha…

Teenage Violence Toward Parents – in Search of the Theoretical Bases of a Research Tool

2020

The article contains an analysis of results of the available research on the phenomenon of children’s violence toward their parents. The main purpose of this interpretation is to search for the theoretical structure of a prepared research tool, initially called the Teen Violence Scale Toward Parents (TVSTP). The subject of the analyzes were works and research reports as well as police statistics containing information on the phenomenon of domestic violence, including teenage violence toward parents. As a result of the analysis, the theoretical function of the proposed research tool was distinguished, referring to types of violence possible to diagnose within this area. The proposed tool was…

Plasma Spectroscopy Group

One of research field of the group is applying low-temperature plasma sources (as e.g. wall-stabilized arc or barrier discharge source) for excitation of atoms and ions. Based on the registered spectra the atomic data as the transition probabilities or Stark-broadening parameters are determined. The Stark-broadening of the spectral line in the plasma is studied also by theoretical methods (including numerical simulation). In order to improve the quality of obtained atomic data, study of properties and phenomena present the plasma produced in those sources (as e.g. demixing effect or thermal equilibrium) are next object of interest. It is associated with development of the diagnostic techniq…

Collegium Maius Building\nUniversity of Opole Rector’s insignia, commemorative medals and portraits

The Museum of University of Opole houses historical (1970) and current (2021) insignia of the rector’s office: chains, rings and scepters made of silver and decorated with precious stones. A frequent decorative motif is the eagle of the Piast dynasty(the first royal house of Poland) wearing a crown. It also stores commemorative medals in bronze or patinated bronze (size from 6 to 9 cm in diameter) that commemorate various jubilees – the University inauguration in 1994, the University tenth and twentieth anniversaries in 2004 and 2014 respectively. It also exhibits originals and replicas of oil paintings of University rectors in ceremonial robes. It is also possible to see the commemorative …

Optimized recombinant dense bodies of human cytomegalovirus efficiently prime virus specific lymphocytes and neutralizing antibodies without the addi…

2010

Control of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection correlates with the reconstitution of antiviral T lymphocytes in haematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. A vaccine to foster this reconstitution and to ameliorate the severe consequences of HCMV reactivation is yet unavailable. This work focused on providing a rationale for the amendment of the yields and the antigenic composition of a vaccine, based on subviral dense bodies (DB) of HCMV. Modified DB were generated that contained the HLA-A2 presented IE1 model peptide TMYGGISLL, integrated at different positions in the major DB protein pp65. Insertion at position W175 of pp65 allowed efficient formation of recDB in the cytoplasm of i…

Psychology of organizational behavior

Research in Work Psychology, Organizations, and Human Resources has experienced significant development in recent decades, addressing challenges of important scientific and practical/professional significance. This area of psychosocial research covers a wide range of issues and themes. The research group "Organizational Behavioral Psychology," with a long history of investigation, focuses its research on the study of four basic aspects of this area of scientific research. Firstly, it addresses the study of two fundamental components for individuals and organizations: job well-being in its different facets and effective performance that contributes to organizational results. Secondly, and as…

UL Centre "Confucius Institute

The Centre is a basic unit of the University of Latvia (hereinafter referred to as “UL”), established on the initiative of the UL and HANBAN, on the basis of the Agreement about establishing a “Confucius Institute” in the UL and a cooperation agreement with South China Normal University (SCNU), in order to develop cooperation between the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Latvian universities. The Centre aims to promote cooperation in the fields of education, science and culture between UL and SCNU, to attract projects. The Centre unites and links these projects and offers them a single location, shared infrastructure and extensive publicity.

Nanoscience Center

Nanoscience Center (NSC) at the University of Jyväskylä (JYU) is an interdisciplinary research organization where physicists, chemists and biologists work together to study nature at the nanoscale. NSC forms an international scientific community and its research projects span from fundamental investigations of processes in nanoscale structures to development of commercial products.
