Asexuality linked to disability or trauma
No full textThis dataset includes primary sources used and analyzed in my work on the article entitled "Contested intersections: Asexuality and disability, illness, or trauma”. The dataset includes bibliographic information on the sources used as well as analytical categories used in the analysis.This collection of primary texts is a result of an extensive search online for personal and theoretical accounts of asexuality intersecting with disability or sexual trauma. The texts were published on personal blogs and in AZE journal between 2015 and 2023. The constitute an important resource for researchers interested in personal accounts of asexuality and particularly the marginalization of asexual voices that go counter to the dominant narrative about sexual identity, emphasizing the impact of trauma or disability on their sexuality.Abstract of the publication:This article analyzes the personal writings of asexual people for whom their identity is connected to disability, illness, or trauma. Asexuality is typically understood as an inherent sexual orientation that is neither caused by nor linked to disability or physiological and psychological issues. This approach has allowed asexuality to be widely accepted as an element of human sexual diversity and protects asexual people against unwanted medical intervention. Yet, disability, illness, or trauma informs some asexual people’s sexuality. Attending to their perspectives results in broadening contemporary conceptualizations of asexuality beyond the model of essentialist sexual orientation and contributes to destigmatizing asexual identities that are entangled with disability, illness, or trauma.</p

It is named after the lineage of Bönpo priests in whose house it is kept. The collection, consisting of 340 different items with a total of 3,477 folios, cards, or individual sheets of paper, represents the ritual repertoire of the priests of the kings of Mustang, once a Tibetan kingdom and now a district of Nepal. The manuscripts exemplify the variety of forms, scripts, decorations, materials and other codicological features. The texts have not been used since the priestly line ended in the 1950s or 60s. The value of this collection is twofold: first, the collection was assembled from different parts of Tibet and the Himalaya over six centuries, and offers a rich body of material which can be retrieved by material and codicological analyses that will contribute to our understanding of book and paper making traditions in the region, as well as social aspects of Tibetan manuscript production; and secondly, in terms of its content, it offers a window onto the nature of royal religion in a Tibetan kingdom. These manuscripts were used in rituals for the protection and prosperity of the kingdom of Mustang, its subjects and members of royal lineage; knowledge of the materials and ritual practices involved in the creation of physical objects will help to understand the interaction between religion, patronage and political authority in Tibetan society.DATASET FILESThe dataset contains files:• Drangsong_176.zip (master scans of the manuscript pages with color checker),• Drangsong_176.pdf (containing presentation images of the manuscript pages),• Drangsong_176_001v.png (manuscript page sample),• Drangsong_176_backlites.zip (backlit samples),• Drangsong_176_XRF_analysis.png (X-ray fluorescence spectrometry).DESCRIPTION OF THE MANUSCRIPTDetailed information on writing, materials, format, and layout is provided in a Readme.txt file attached to this dataset.</p

Badanie wielolokalnych mieszkańców Mazowsza
No full text1. Opis kontekstu badania: zbiór danych zawiera 17 transkrypcji wywiadów (11 prowadzonych w 2023 roku oraz dodatkowe 6 wywiadów przeprowadzonych w 2024 roku) z wielolokalnymi mieszkańcami, którzy posiadali minimum jedno miejsce zamieszkania w województwie mazowieckim. Badania były finansowane przez Narodowe Centrum Nauki w ramach projektu Sonata-17 nr 2021/43/D/HS4/00153.2. Opis metodologii: materiał został uzyskany w czasie wywiadów (częściowo ustrukturyzowanych) prowadzonych przez kierowniczkę projektu oraz przez stypendystę (doktoranta zatrudnionego w projekcie). Wywiady trwały od 40 do 120 minut i były prowadzone osobiście i przy użyciu Google Meets lub Zoom. Ta część badania nie ma charakteru reprezentatywnego w statystycznym sensie tego słowa, ale włączenie narratorów o różnych cechach pozwala na badanie oparte na doborze teoretycznym, przekładającym różnorodność nad reprezentatywność. W plikach jest transkrypcja wywiadów bez interpretacji.3. Struktura i relacje między folderami: w folderze znajdują się pliki z transkrypcją wywiadów, plik z informacją o badaniach oraz plik z zagadnieniami poruszanymi w czasie wywiadów.4. Sposób kontroli jakości danych: przed podjęciem badań uzyskano pozytywną opinię Wydziałowej Komisji ds. Etyki Badań Naukowych.

The IncC and IncX1 resistance plasmids present in multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli strains isolated from poultry manure in Poland
No full textThe study describes the whole-genome sequencing of two antibiotic-resistant representative Escherichia coli strains, isolated from poultry manure. The samples were obtained from a commercial chicken meat production facility in Poland.The antibiotic resistance profile was characterized by co-resistance to β-lactam antibiotics, aminoglycosides, and fluoroquinolones. The three identified resistance plasmids (R-plasmids), pECmdr13.2, pECmdr13.3 and pECmdr14.1, harbored various genes conferring resistance to tetracyclines (tetp[A]) for, aminoglycoside (aph, aac and aad families), β-lactam (blaCMY-2, blaTEM-176), sulfonamide (sul1, sul2), fluoroquinolone (qnrS1), and phenicol (floR). These plasmids, which have not been previously reported in Poland, were found to carry IS26 insertion elements, the intI1-integrase gene, as well as conjugal transfer genes, facilitating horizontal gene transfer. Two plasmids also possessed a mercury resistance gene operon related to transposon Tn1696. The chicken manure-derived plasmids belonged to the IncX1 (narrow host range) and IncC (broad host range) incompatibility groups. Similar plasmids have been identified in various environments, clinical isolates, and farm animals, including cattle, swine, and poultry.</p
Nanocomposite hydrogel for skin motion sensing – an antifreezing, nanoreinforced hydrogel with decorated AuNP as a multicrosslinker
No full textIn this study, we present a nanocomposite hydrogel designed for skin motion sensing. The hydrogel is based on poly(acrylamide) crosslinked with gold nanoparticles covalently bound to the polymer matrix, yielding a robust, highly elastic and conductive material. The choice of amino acid derivative – N,N’-diacryloylcystine salt (BISS) – as a crosslinker allows for the introduction of gold nanoparticles, due to the presence of sulfide groups in its structure. During the nanoparticle modification process, covalent bonds between gold and sulfur atoms are formed as the disulfide bond is cleaved. In result of this self-assembly process, a multifunctional Au–BISS crosslinker is formed, enhancing the material’s mechanical properties and introducing electrical conductivity. To confer anti-freezing properties and limit water evaporation, a binary mixture of water and glycerol was used. The resultant hydrogel exhibits high elasticity, strain sensitivity across a wide strain range and various types of deformation (elongation, bending, compression) with exceptional response time (120 ms) and recovery time (90 ms). The material’s cold-resistance, resilience, and conductivity make it well-suited for real-time monitoring of joint movements and speech recognition, with potential applications in electronic skin and healthcare monitoring devices.</p
