Enerģētiskā drošība Baltijas valstīs: Baltijas valstu elektrotīklu sinhronizācijas ar Eiropas tīklu projekta politisko aspektu izvērtējums
2018
Lai gan Baltijas valstis jau vairāk nekā desmit gadus ir Eiropas Savienības dalībvalstis, tās joprojām ir daļa no milzīgas Krievijas elektrotīklu sistēmas, kas pastāv jau kopš Padomju Savienības laikiem. Šī elektrotīklu sistēma līdz šim nav bijusi pakļauta Maskavas politiskajam spiedienam, tomēr tās funkcionēšana lielā mērā ir atkarīga no trešajām valstīm, kā arī pietiekamas enerģētiskās neatkarības nodrošināšana šī brīža ģeopolitiskajos apstākļos ir īpaši svarīga. Baltijas valstu elektrotīklu sinhronizācijas ar Eiropas tīklu projekts ir viens no prioritārajiem Eiropas Savienības energoinfrastruktūras projektiem, kas paredz Baltijas valstu integrāciju Eiropas Savienības iekšējā enerģētikas …
Muhammad – Prophet auch für Christen?
2018
In this article a question is raised if it is possible for Christians to recognize Muhammad as an authentic prophet. From the point of view of religious studies Muhammad is obviously a prophet and Islam is a prophetic religion. Still, in the light of Christian theology that in Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God, sees the fulfiment of the Old Testament prophecies, recognizing Muhammad as a prophet is highly problematic. Granting Muhammad the prophet status would mean the recognition of the Koran as the authentic Word of God. Meanwhile, the picture of Jesus in the Koran in many places opposes the one presented in the New Testament and the Church Tradition of the Church. It is all the more…

Teologiczne typy bizantyjskich ikon maryjnych
2021
Wschód chrześcijański jest niezwykle zróżnicowany. Niektóre Kościoły chrześcijańskiego Wschodu wypracowały rozbudowaną sztukę ikonograficzną wraz z teorią tej sztuki, a inne tego nie uczyniły. Kościół Konstantynopolitański wypracował wzorce w dziedzinie ikonografii, także maryjnej. Bizantyjskie ikony maryjne można podzielić na cztery grupy: (1) święta maryjne; (2) ikony teologiczne; (3) ikony symboliczne; (4) ikony liturgiczne. Cechą charakterystyczną ikon teologicznych jest skupienie się na więzi Maryi i Chrystusa (Boga). Do tych ikon należą typy: Kyriotissa, Hodegetria, Eleusa, Platytera. Są to najważniejsze, podstawowe ikony Maryi omówione w artykule.
Justice in the Middle Ages: the survival of inquisitorial principles and free production of evidence principles
2017
El objeto de estudio es el estudio pervivencia de los principios que rigen la carga de la prueba, y el modo en que lo hacen, en derecho romano clásico y postclásico en el derecho español; en concreto, el inquisitivo en el Derecho visigodo (Edicto de Eurico, Breviario de Alarico y la Lex Visigothorum) y el principio de libre aportación, desde un punto de vista estrcutural, en la fuente valenciana medieval: los Fueros. The object of this study is the survival of the principles that govern the onus probandi and the way they do it in classical and post-classical Roman law and in Spanish law; in particular, the inquisitorial principle in Visigothic law (Edict of Euric, Breviary of Alaric and Lex…
Flow cytometric investigation of neutrophil oxidative burst and apoptosis in physiological and pathological situations
2009
Flow cytometric analysis provides a rapid screen for abnormalities of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) function and reflect their behavior in vivo more accurately. This review summarizes the major fluorescent probes used to study PMN oxidative burst and apoptosis using flow cytometry (FCM). We also provide examples of FCM studies in physiological and pathological situations, illustrating the advantages of FCM for assessment of PMN oxidative burst and PMN apoptosis. These data point to the role of FCM in detecting primary immunodeficiencies such as IRAK4 deficiency and support the use of the assessment of the PMN oxidative burst for routine testing in patients with bacterial infections.

Skin-derived macrophages from Leishmania major-susceptible mice exhibit interleukin-12- and interferon-gamma-independent nitric oxide production and …
2002
Co-administration of CpG-containing immunostimulatory oligodeoxynucleotides and parasite antigen protects susceptible BALB/c mice from otherwise progressive infection with Leishmania major. Although the protective effect of CpG-containing immunostimulatory oligodeoxynucleotides is clearly dependent on endogenous interleukin-12 and interferon-gamma production, the source of these Th1-promoting cytokines in infected mice is unknown. In contrast to macrophages from Leishmania-resistant C57BL/6 mice, macrophages from susceptible BALB/c mice are hyporesponsive to stimulation with lipopolysaccharide and interferon-gamma. While studying interactions of various antigen-presenting cells with Leishma…
HSP60 and CpG-DNA-oligonucleotides differentially regulate LPS-tolerance of hepatic Kupffer cells
2004
Background/aims: Hepatic Kupffer cells (KC) are major regulators of the immune response to gut-derived bacterial products; uncontrolled activation of KC by bacterial components is of pathogenic relevance in alcoholic hepatitis and septic shock. Methods: We examined the role of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), bacterial and autologous HSP60 and bacterial DNA, which are recognized by innate Toll-like receptors, during activation of murine KC. Results: In cultivated KC, autologous HSP60 induced a state of LPS-hyporesponsiveness; bacterial DNA did not mitigate the response to subsequent LPS-challenge in vitro; in contrast, pre-treatment of mice with bacterial DNA even significantly increased…
Cationic Nanohydrogel Particles for Therapeutic Oligonucleotide Delivery.
2017
Short pharmaceutical active oligonucleotides such as small interfering RNA (siRNA) or cytidine-phosphate-guanosine (CpG) are considered as powerful therapeutic alternatives, especially to medicate hard-to-treat diseases (e.g., liver fibrosis or cancer). Unfortunately, these molecules are equipped with poor pharmacokinetic properties that prevent them from translation. Well-defined nanosized carriers can provide opportunities to optimize their delivery and guide them to their site of action. Among several concepts, this Feature Article focuses on cationic nanohydrogel particles as a universal delivery system for small anionic molecules including siRNA and CpG. Cationic nanohydrogels are deri…
