The North Carpathian group is an archaeological culture of the central European Late Roman and Early Migration period (4th and the 5th century AD) for which h igh altitude settlement at difficult to access mountain locations is typical. The choice of such a location has been linked to social and political instability and the proximity of iron ore sources. Here we present archaeological material from two recently discovered and excavated sites of this culture group located in characteristic locations Žiar, southern slope of Solisko, which lies in the Liptov region and Dolný Kubín-Veľký Bysterec, Podtarnikovo in the Orava region. Radiocarbon dates on short-lived plant remains samples place both settlements to the period of the second half of the 4th to the first third of the 5th century AD. The results of our analysis of recovered material culture, topography and raw materials distribution correlated with other available data for the period in these two regions confirm 1. the availability of iron ore in the vicinity (max. 5 km) of almost every known site of the North Carpathian group, 2. location of settlements almost exclusively at a greater distance from the main watercourses, but always in visual contact with strategic points (fords, confluences, communications). The evidence of both ecofacts and artefacts jointly demonstrate local production of plant crops and indicate permanent settlements and subsistence farming strategy. Therefore we interpret the high altitude sites of the North Carpathian group firstly as regular settlements, not refuge places which were considered by multiple authors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study investigates how genetic and climatic factors affect parameters of breadmaking quality of wheat kernel and flour starch component. Nine wheat cultivars with different combinatons of HMW-GS were grown in three production years. Various rheological devices such as Falling Number (FN), Farinograph, Amylograph, Mixolab and SDmatic were used for characterization of milled wheat samples. The most results showed that climatic factors affected parameters of breadmaking quality of wheat kernel and flour starch component more than HMW-GS composition. However, some results of the bread making quality parameters that are considered to be very reliable indicators of changes in starch component of wheat in wet years, such as FN and maximum peak of viscosity by Amylograph, were dependent of HMW-GS composition.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different irrigation water salinity level on chromosomes and shoots of wheat with three different ploidy level (diploid, tetraploid and hexaploid). Greenhouse experiment revealed that irrigation water salinity level had significant effects on shoot dry weight, root dry weight, shoot length and root length (P<0.05). The effects of ploidy level and cultivar shoot dry weight and root dry weight were also found to be significant (P<0.05), but the effects on shoot length and root length were not significant (P>0.05). Negative effects of salinity on shoot and root were started at 8 dS m-1. Also hexaploid wheat was more tolerant then tetraploid and diploid wheat to salinity. It was not determined that possible effects of irrigation water salinity to structure of chromosomes with current equipment and methods. Cell divisions were normal, but decreasing cell division rates were observed with increasing irrigation water salinity levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Arthritis is a cluster of diseases impacting joint health and causing immobility and morbidity in the elderly. Among the various forms of arthritis, osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are the most common. Currently, satisfying disease-modifying agents for arthritis are not available. Given the pro-inflammatory and oxidative stress components in the pathogenesis of arthritis, tocotrienol, a family of vitamin E with both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, could be joint-protective agents. This scoping review aims to provide an overview of the effects of tocotrienol on arthritis derived from the existing scientific literature. A literature search using PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases was conducted to identify relevant studies. Only cell culture, animal and clinical studies with primary data that align with the objective of this review were considered. The literature search uncovered eight studies investigating the effects of tocotrienol on OA (n = 4) and RA (n = 4). Most of the studies were preclinical and revealed the positive effects of tocotrienol in preserving joint structure (cartilage and bone) in models of arthritis. In particular, tocotrienol activates the self-repair mechanism of chondrocytes exposed to assaults and attenuates osteoclastogenesis associated with RA. Tocotrienol also demonstrated strong anti-inflammatory effects in RA models. The single clinical trial available in the literature showcases that palm tocotrienol could improve joint function among patients with OA. In conclusion, tocotrienol could be a potential anti-arthritic agent pending more results from clinical studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Jani Kovačič, singer-song writer and prof. of philosophy in Gimnasium Ljubljana, have selected 23 songs by Aleksander Kulisiewicz: 15 songs from the CD Songs from the Depths of Hell (1979), 7 songs from the record Ballads and Broadsides: Songs from Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp 1940-1945 (2008), one song from the record Chants de la deportation (Songs of the Deportation, 1975) and one from the book Adresse: Sachsenhausen, Literarische Momentaufnamen aus den KZ (Address: Sachsenhausen, Literary Records of Moments from the Concentration Camp, 1997). Simona Klemenčič and I translated them from Polish and German. From the records and pre-war recordings, I transcribed the tunes and fitted them with harmonies. Each nation has its own story of pogrom and suffering in the Second World War. This one is from the life of Aleksander Kulisiewicz. Kulisiewicz adapted folk songs and schlager of that era to the situation, the theme and the text. The prisoners also sang these songs in their own way. Last but not least, Kulisiewicz also dictated and wrote down by his memory. He played the guitar, so I also decided to play it myself. I compared the songs to the original tunes and arranged them according to Kulisiewicz's performance. The performance is dedicated to the human will to live and to eternal optimism, though it may seem dark at times. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The field experiment with the wheat varieties Simonida, NS 40 S, Zvezdana, NS Ilina, NS Futura, NS Mila and NS Obala was set up on the smonica-type soil during the 2016/17 and 2017/18 growing seasons. The aim of the research was to analyse the yield, weight of 1000 grains and hectolitre weight of seven Novi Sad wheat varieties grown on slightly acidic soil. The highest values of the observed properties were established in the 2017/18 vegetation year with moderate temperatures and a higher amount of precipitation. Varieties NS Futura, NS Obala and NS 40 S had the highest grain yield during the two-year study. The Simonida variety was characterized by the highest hectolitre weight. The highest values of hectolitre weight were found in the Zvezdana variety in both study years. The analysis of variance established a highly significant influence of the interaction of agro climatic conditions and genotype on the weight of 1000 grains and the hectolitre weight of the tested varieties of winter wheat.
