Ganoderma lucidum (Curt.: Fr.) Karst. – health-promoting properties. A review

2015

This paper presents the characteristics of the species Ganoderma lucidum in terms of health-promoting properties. This species is rare in Poland, and is subject to strict protection. Reishi is classified as a medicinal mushroom which fruiting bodies are characterized by a content of active substances with diverse positive effects on human health. G. lucidum is particularly rich source of bioactive compounds, which are obtained from fruiting bodies, mycelium and spores of this species. The therapeutic effect of G. lucidum extracts has been demonstrated in many scientific studies. The most important pharmacological and physiological effects include: immunomodulatory, anti-cancer, anti-inflamm…

Situational factors shape moral judgements in the trolley dilemma in Eastern, Southern and Western countries in a culturally diverse sample

2022

The study of moral judgements often centres on moral dilemmas in which options consistent with deontological perspectives (that is, emphasizing rules, individual rights and duties) are in conflict with options consistent with utilitarian judgements (that is, following the greater good based on consequences). Greene et al. (2009) showed that psychological and situational factors (for example, the intent of the agent or the presence of physical contact between the agent and the victim) can play an important role in moral dilemma judgements (for example, the trolley problem). Our knowledge is limited concerning both the universality of these effects outside the United States and the impact of …

Black Queen Evolution and Trophic Interactions Determine Plasmid Survival after the Disruption of the Conjugation Network

2018

Bacterial antibiotic resistance is often a part of mobile genetic elements that move from one bacterium to another. By interfering with the horizontal movement and the maintenance of these elements, it is possible to remove the resistance from the population. Here, we show that a so-called plasmid-dependent bacteriophage causes the initially resistant bacterial population to become susceptible to antibiotics. However, this effect is efficiently countered when the system also contains a predator that feeds on bacteria. Moreover, when the environment contains antibiotics, the survival of resistance is dependent on the resistance mechanism. When bacteria can help their contemporaries to degrad…

Evaluation of the animal-assisted therapy in Alzheimer's disease

2017

Animal-assisted therapy sessions have been set up in a protected unit for patients with a dementia-related syndrome. The aim is to measure the effects of animal-assisted therapy on behavioural disorders in daily life and care. The results obtained provided some interesting areas to explore and recommendations with a view to optimising the implementation of such a system.

In-depth characterization of denitrifier communities across different soil ecosystems in the tundra

2022

Abstract Background In contrast to earlier assumptions, there is now mounting evidence for the role of tundra soils as important sources of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). However, the microorganisms involved in the cycling of N2O in this system remain largely uncharacterized. Since tundra soils are variable sources and sinks of N2O, we aimed at investigating differences in community structure across different soil ecosystems in the tundra. Results We analysed 1.4 Tb of metagenomic data from soils in northern Finland covering a range of ecosystems from dry upland soils to water-logged fens and obtained 796 manually binned and curated metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). We then sear…

I confini della restorative justice nella più recente normativa europea a tutela della vittima: ragionevole attuazione di una victim-centred justice …

2015

La c.d. restorative justice (RJ) si inserisce a pieno titolo e in modo significativo nel processo di “riscoperta della vittima” nel sistema penale. Eppure, nonostante l’indubbia vocazione vittimo-centrica della RJ, in alcuni recenti interventi normativi europei sembra delinearsi un atteggiamento di cautela, se non di sfiducia, verso l’applicazione “su larga scala” della RJ, specie qualora il reato riguardi soggetti vulnerabili. Si tratta di apportare ragionevoli correttivi ai modelli di RJ, affinché questi possano armoniosamente congiungersi al sistema di giustizia penale e realizzare un’equilibrata victim-centred justice? O forse le cautele introdotte comportano, alla stregua di Sisifo, un…

L’ultima isola. “Domestiche mura”, affettività, sistema penale e tutela della vittima: mappe

2014

E’ noto che il sistema penale costituisce da sempre, nel quadro dell’ordinamento positivo, la sponda più resistente alle esigenze di innovazione che spirano dal tessuto sociale e che postulano, in chiave di diffusione progressiva di un rinnovato ‘idem sentire’, fronti più avanzati di tutela: la parabola della riforma dei reati sessuali, che ha tagliato il traguardo solo nel 1996 pur a seguito di un dibattito pluridecennale, appare in tal senso paradigmatica. Fenomeno non dissimile si è registrato con riguardo alle dinamiche delle relazioni affettive che fluiscono al di fuori dei perimetri del matrimonio: anche in tale contesto il sistema penale è apparso l’ambito più refrattario a fronte de…
