Trends in perceived school stress among adolescentsin five Nordic countries 2002–2014
2019
Abstract Associations between school-related stress and poor health, risk behaviours and low well-being are well documented. The aim of this paper was to estimate trends of perceived school stress experienced by boys and girls of different ages in the Nordic countries, and to describe trends in school stress between the Nordic countries. Nordic data from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study (HBSC) between 2002 and 2014 were used. The participants were aged 11–16 years. School stress was measured by a single item; “How pressured do you feel by schoolwork?” The participants answering “some” or “a lot” were categorised as reporting school stress. Sweden, Norway and Denmark had …
Parametric sensitivity of a CFD model concerning the hydrodynamics of trickle-bed reactor (TBR)
2016
Abstract The aim of the present study was to investigate the sensitivity of a multiphase Eulerian CFD model with respect to relations defining drag forces between phases. The mean relative error as well as standard deviation of experimental and computed values of pressure gradient and average liquid holdup were used as validation criteria of the model. Comparative basis for simulations was our own data-base obtained in experiments carried out in a TBR operating at a co-current downward gas and liquid flow. Estimated errors showed that the classical equations of Attou et al. (1999) defining the friction factors Fjk approximate experimental values of hydrodynamic parameters with the best agre…
Materiały do rozmieszczenia pluskwiaków różnoskrzydłych (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) wybranych obszarów Polski: Wyżyny Małopolskiej, Gór Świętokrzyskich,…

The paper presents new faunistic data on the occurrence of true-bugs Heteroptera in south-eastern Poland. Localities were scattered in 25 UTM squares in five zoogeographical regions: Małopolska Upland, Świętokrzyskie Mts, Western Beskidy Mts, Eastern Beskidy Mts and Bieszczady Mts. In total we present the data concerning 129 true-bug species, including Elasmucha grisea (listed for the first time from Świętokrzyskie Mts), Heterocordylus leptocerus, Polymerus nigrita, Raglius alboacuminatus, Scolopostethus pictus, Chartoscirta cincta cincta and Physatocheila smreczynskii (first records from Małopolska Upland), Nabis flavomarginatus, N. limbatus, Peribalus strictus, Coptosoma scutellatum and S…
Stilt bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Berytidae) of Poland: check-list, distribution, bionomics
2019
W Polsce pluskwiaki różnoskrzydłe z rodziny smukleńcowatych (Berytidae) reprezentowane są przez dziewięć gatunków sklasyfikowanych w czterech rodzajach: Neides tipularius, Berytinus clavipes, B. hirticornis, B. minor, B. crassipes, B. signoreti, Gampsocoris culicinus, G. punctipes i Metatropis rufescens. Niniejsze opracowanie, poza nowymi stanowiskami, podsumowuje wszystkie dane na temat występowania przedstawicieli Berytidae na terenie naszego kraju. Dodatkowo podano podstawowe informacje dotyczące biologii wymienionych gatunków (preferencje wilgotnościowe, termiczne, troficzne oraz ilość generacji w roku). Berytinus montivagus został wyłączony z krajowej fauny, jednak jego występowanie w …
Extracellular Vesicles as Shuttles of Tumor Biomarkers and Anti-Tumor Drugs
2014
Extracellular vesicles (EV) include vesicles released by either normal or tumor cells. EV may exceed the nanometric scale (microvesicles), or to be within the nanoscale, also called exosomes. Thus, it appears that only exosomes and larger vesicles may have the size for potential applications in nanomedicine, in either disease diagnosis or therapy. This is of particular interest for research in cancer, also because the vast majority of existing data on EV are coming from pre-clinical and clinical oncology. We know that the microenvironmental features of cancer may favor cell-to-cell paracrine communication through EV, but EV have been purified, characterized, and quantified from plasma of tu…
Effect of the extensional flow on the properties of oriented nanocomposite films for twist wrapping
2011
In this study, we examined the mechanical behavior of nanocomposite films based on polyethylene (PE) and pristine PE films. The films were prepared by film blowing and were then cold-drawn at low temperature. The experimental results show that cold drawing significantly enhanced the orientation; with increasing draw ratio (DR), the elastic modulus and tensile strength of the PE films strongly increased, particularly in the presence of the organoclay. To obtain polymeric films suitable for twist wrapping, the films must be sufficiently stiff so that no shrinkage or elastic recovery occur during or after twisting. The elongation at break and the yield strain sharply decreased with orientation…
Digital Community Storytelling as a Sociopolitical Critical Device
2016
Este artículo analiza 40 historias digitales comunitarias basadas en los principios de estudios de discurso crítico basados en corpus (Baker et al., 2008). Las historias se analizan con la intención de probar si pueden clasificarse como ejemplos de historias sociopolíticas digitales. Las historias digitales socio-políticas se describen aquí como una herramienta que los individuos pueden usar para hacer llegar al público opiniones sobre temas que puedan afectar a la democracia (Couldry, 2008), el bienestar social y la estabilidad; y puede servir para facilitar la comunicación, interacción e intercambio de información sobre prácticas sociales conflictivas. Las historias analizadas pueden co…
Constant sign and nodal solutions for parametric anisotropic $(p, 2)$-equations
2021
We consider an anisotropic ▫$(p, 2)$▫-equation, with a parametric and superlinear reaction term.Weshow that for all small values of the parameter the problem has at least five nontrivial smooth solutions, four with constant sign and the fifth nodal (sign-changing). The proofs use tools from critical point theory, truncation and comparison techniques, and critical groups. Spletna objava: 9. 9. 2021. Abstract. Bibliografija: str. 1076.
