CHANGES IN THE CITY SPACE AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT: THE CASE OF OPOLE
2021
Koncepcja zrównoważonego rozwoju zyskuje coraz większą popularność zarówno w nauce, jak i w praktyce. Jest ona podstawą do realizacji działań i inicjatyw mających na celu poprawę warunków życia ludności miejskiej przy jednoczesnym poszanowaniu środowiska naturalnego. Decyzje podejmowane przez zarządzających miastami dotyczące nowych projektów powinny uwzględniać efekty ekonomiczne i środowiskowe oraz głos społeczności lokalnej. Jest to zadanie niezwykle trudne, a jego wyniki mogą spotkać się z aprobatą lub krytyką. Niemniej jednak podejmowane działania powinny zmniejszać problemy, z jakimi boryka się miasto i jego mieszkańcy. Badania oparte zostały na opisowym studium przypadku jako metodol…
Miasto przyszłości na tle koncepcji zrównoważonego rozwoju
2017
Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja działań podejmowanych w miastach o charakterze społecznym, ekonomicznym i środowiskowym oraz ocena ich zgodności z założeniami koncepcji zrównoważonego rozwoju. W artykule przytoczone zostały przykłady rozwoju różnych miast europejskich i pozaeuropejskich oraz efekty prowadzonej polityki miejskiej. Autorka starała się odpowiedzieć na pytanie, w jakim stopniu działania podejmowane w miastach są zgodne z zasadami zrównoważonego rozwoju i czy w przyszłości miasta staną się bardziej zrównoważone. Aby zrealizować cel artykułu, zastosowano metodę desk research. Otrzymane wnioski wskazują na pożądane kierunki rozwoju w myśl koncepcji rozwoju zrów- noważonego. Isto…
Consequences of analgesics use in early pregnancy: Results of tests on mice.
2019
International audience; Self-medication during pregnancy continues to be an issue in developing countries due topoor medical education. The most commonly used drugs are analgesics, mainlyacetaminophen (paracetamol, APAP) and, to a lesser extent, ketoprofen (KPF). The aim of thestudy was to establish whether there are consequences of accidental use of these two drugsduring early embryogenesis. The experimental study was performed on 30 pregnant whitemice, divided into three groups: a first group to which APAP was administered, a secondgroup to which KPF was administered, and group 3 as a control group. At delivery, the babymice were examined, and after their first parturition, they were take…
Assessment of the production costs curve in micro-grids: a comparative analysis
2012
In micro-grids, due to their small scale, there is commonly only one power supplier. A competitive wholesale market hardly exists so the question about how to consider market issues for small producers within micro-grids arises. On the other hand, the specific features of micro-grids where load and generated power hardly find a balance, require that customers take part to regulation issues, maybe using demand response programs. In this paper, price responsive policies and its programs are discussed to answer this question. A case study of a micro-grid with one microturbine and two photovoltaic generators in Italy is analyzed to assess the overall production cost in order to build a price re…
Preface
2023
The encounter between Appraisal and Valuation and other social sciences, such as Geography and Urban Planning, but also Philosophy and Psychology, can be considered as a valuable opportunity to combine approaches expressing different points of view on the same phenomena. The interpretative paradigms and opera-tional tools of Appraisal and Valuation are therefore questioned and should be re-vised to be adopted in the appraisal practice or to support decision-making pro-cesses related to real estate market and urban, territorial and environmental plan-ning, according to a perspective of social inclusion and multiculturalism.

Values Spaces Migration. Appraisal scenarios for an intercultural society
2021
Incessanti flussi migratori si muovono verso nazioni o città in cui trovare condizioni di vita migliori sospinti da sperequazioni economiche, instabilità politiche e sociali, conflitti bellici ed emergenze ambientali, e generano perturbazioni, reali o percepite, sull’organizzazione sociale, ed economica dei territori. I mutamenti dei sistemi valoriali, sociali, spaziali ed economici conseguenti ai flussi migratori sono stati dibattuti durante il convegno SIEV ‘Valori Spazi Migrazioni. Identità e alterità nella citta multiculturale’, che si è svolto nel mese di ottobre del 2020. Lo studio di questi fenomeni coinvolge numerose scienze sociali rispetto alle quali la comunità italiana di studio…

Subjective Well-Being in Sports Coaches
2022
<p>The purpose of the study is to analyze the structure of the psychological determinants of subjective well-being and identify the most significant set of determinants that form the resources of the psychological well-being in sports coaches. This parameter is important due to objective conditions, which significantly increases stress and reduces the quality of life of subjects of professional sport. The participants were 200 professional sports coaches (89 women, 111 men), M<sub>age</sub>=39 years, M<sub>exprience</sub>=12 years. The psychological determinants were measured with the Brief Differential Perfectionism Inventory (Zolotareva et al, 2021), the Gene…
Mitochondrial function and sirtuin expression in hippocampus of young and old high- and low-capacity runner rats
2016
Introduction: Exercise and aerobic capacity are associated with improved learning in animals and humans. The hippocampus is a brain structure involved in learning and memory. High rates of neurogenesis have been shown to take place in the dental gyrus of hippocampus in response to physical exercise. It is not known whether mitochondrial dysfunction in the hippocampus is responsible for decline in cognitive function associated with low fitness level and aging, and whether intrinsic aerobic capacity is a risk factor for it. Methods: Mitochondrial function was investigated in the hippocampi of young and old highcapacity runner (HCR) and low-capacity runner (LCR) rats using high-performance res…
