Oxidative Stress Biomarkers for Diabetic Retinopathy and Medical Management Affecting Oxidative Stress

Changes in dietary habits and lifestyles associated with rapid economic growth have dramatically increased the incidence of diabetes and related vascular complications. Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a microvascular complication of diabetes, is associated with both environmental and genetic factors. Several metabolic abnormalities are implicated in its pathogenesis; however, the exact mechanism remains to be determined. Among them, oxidative stress is expected to play an important role

Povijesni poljoprivredni pejzaž kao predmet istraživanja ekologije pejzaža

This article is focused on historical agricultural landscapes in Slovakia, which have been preserved and have irreplaceable ecological, cultural and historical value. Historical structures of agricultural landscapes (HSAL) are a type of cultural landscape that contains, within a geographic area, both natural and man-made features that typify connected activities, and a cultural expression reflecting past events or patterns of physical development. They are now becoming rare, making them even more valuable, however, on a European scale. The article presents an overview of research activities focused on the historical agricultural landscape and point out different types of historical agricultural landscapes such as viticulture landscapes, mountain grassland-arable landscapes, agricultural landscapes with dispersed settlements etc. The research emphasized land-use changes, driving forces, and threats and trends relating to the historical agricultural landscape in Slovakia.Rad se bavi očuvanim povijesnim poljoprivrednim pejzažima u Slovačkoj, čija je ekološka, kulturna i povijesna vrijednost neprocjenjiva. Povijesne strukture poljoprivrednih pejzaža (engl. HSAL) tip su kulturnog pejzaža koji unutar geografskog područja posjeduje prirodne i ljudskom rukom nastale komponente pejzaža koje predstavljaju njihovu tipičnu poveznicu te kulturni izričaj koji odražava prošle događaje i obrasce fizičkog razvoja. Takve strukture danas su sve rjeđe te je stoga njihovo očuvanje još važnije. Ovaj je rad pregled istraživačkih aktivnosti usmjerenih na povijesne poljoprivredne pejzaže te izdvaja različite tipove poljoprivrednih pejzaža, poput vinorodnih, planinskih travnato-obradivih, s disperznom naseljenošću itd. Istraživanje naglašava promjene iskorištavanja zemljišta, faktore promjene, prijetnje i trendove povezane s poljoprivrednim povijesnim pejzažima u Slovačkoj

Spike up Prime Interest in Science and Technology through Constructionist Games

Robotics sets have been successfully used in elementary and secondary schools in conformance with the 'learning through play' philosophy fostered by LEGO Education, while utilizing the Constructionism didactic approach. Learners discover and acquire knowledge through first-hand tangible experiences, building their own representations in a constructivist learning process. Usual pedagogical goals of the activities include introduction to the principles of control, mechanics, programming, and robotics [1]. They are organized as hands-on learning situations with teamwork cooperation of learners, project-based learning, sharing and presentations of the learners group experiences. Arriving from this tradition, we focus on a slightly different scenarios: employing the robotics sets and the named approaches when learning Physics, Mathematics, Art, Science, and other subjects. In carefully designed projects, learners build interactive models that demonstrate concepts, principles, and phenomena, perform experiments, and modify them in elaboration phases with the aim to connect, create associations and links to the actual underlying theoretical curriculum. In this way, they are collecting practical experiences which are prerequisite to successful learning process. Based on feedback from children, we continue upon two previous sets of activities that focused on Physics and Mathematics, this time with projects built around games. Learners play various games with physical artifacts in the real-world - with the models they build. They acquire skills while playing the games, analyze them, and learn about the underlying principles. They modify the game rules, strategies, create extensions, and interact with each other in an entertaining and engaging settings. This time we have designed the activities together with the children, students of applied robotics seminar, and a student of Applied Informatics.Comment: This work was co-funded by the Horizon-Widera-2021 European Twinning project TERAIS G.A. n. 101079338 Open Access Data discussed in the article is available at https://robotika.sk/spik

Funktionstransparenz des Sportes angeboten den Zuschauern und den sportlich aktiven (Der Fall Sloweniens)

The most important function of sport is the one which also includes usefulness in the most general sense of the word, physical, mental, social and certainly material usefulness. The crisis of the "state welfare" is evident in the East as well as in the West. The problem of growing social differences which are more evident in the East, reflects also in sport, among other things by distorting its utilitarian functions. Regarding the results we can conclude that, in Slovenia, sport acts in the function of wholesome utility. It has active and passive participants (spectators at sport events). Evidently Slovenes enjoy sport, they are aware of its positive effects on health. Sport is a way of life and top-level sport achievements are appreciated as they show what Slovenes know and can attain in this field. In post-socialist Slovenia there is no distinct crisis in the function of sport, that is to say no marked distortions of sport values.Die wichtigste Funktion des Sports ist diejenige, die die Nützlichkeit im weitesten Sinne des Wortes inkorporiert: körperliche, psychische, soziale und bestimmt auch materielle Nützlichkeit. Die Krise des "Sozialstaates" ist im Osten, wie auch im Westen evident. Das Problem der wachsenden sozialen Unterschiede, die im Osten offensichtlicher sind, wird auch im Sportbereich widerspiegelt, unter anderem auch durch Verdrehung dessen utilitarischer Funktion. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, da Sport in Slowenien in der Funktion der Gesamtnützlichkeit ist. Es gibt aktive und passive Teilnehmer (TV-Zuschauer und das Publikum an den Sportwettkämpfen). Es ist offenbar, da die Slowenen Sport Genießen und sich dessen positiver Einflüsse auf die Gesundheit bewusst sind. Sport ist die Lebensweise und sportliche Spitzenresultate werden hochgeschätzt, denn sie zeugen von den slowenischen Kenntnissen und Leistungen in diesem Bereich. Im postsozialistischen Slowenien kam es zu keiner ausgesprochenen Krise in der Funktion des Sportes, d.h. es gibt keinen bedeutenden Verdrehung der Sportwerte

Using Programmable Drone in Educational Projects and Competitions

The mainstream of educational robotics platforms orbits the various versions of versatile robotics sets and kits, while interesting outliers add new opportunities and extend the possible learning situations. Examples of such are reconfigurable robots, rolling sphere robots, humanoids, swimming, or underwater robots. Another kind within this category are flying drones. While remotely controlled drones were a very attractive target for hobby model makers for quite a long time already, they were seldom used in educational scenarios as robots that are programmed by children to perform various simple tasks. A milestone was reached with the introduction of the educational drone Tello, which can be programmed even in Scratch, or some general-purpose languages such as Node.js or Python. The programs can even have access to the robot sensors that are used by the underlying layers of the controller. In addition, they have the option to acquire images from the drone camera and perform actions based on processing the frames applying computer vision algorithms. We have been using this drone in an educational robotics competition for three years without camera, and after our students have developed several successful projects that utilized a camera, we prepared a new competition challenge that requires the use of the camera. In the article, we summarize related efforts and our experiences with educational drones, and their use in the student projects and competition.Comment: This work was co-funded by the Horizon-Widera-2021 European Twinning project TERAIS G.A. n. 101079338.
