Mitochondrial ROS signalling requires uninterrupted electron flow and is lost during ageing in flies
No full text\ua9 2022, The Author(s). Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) are cellular messengers essential for cellular homeostasis. In response to stress, reverse electron transport (RET) through respiratory complex I generates high levels of mtROS. Suppression of ROS production via RET (ROS-RET) reduces survival under stress, while activation of ROS-RET extends lifespan in basal conditions. Here, we demonstrate that ROS-RET signalling requires increased electron entry and uninterrupted electron flow through the electron transport chain (ETC). We find that in old fruit flies, ROS-RET is abolished when electron flux is decreased and that their mitochondria produce consistently high levels of mtROS. Finally, we demonstrate that in young flies, limiting electron exit, but not entry, from the ETC phenocopies mtROS generation observed in old individuals. Our results elucidate the mechanism by which ROS signalling is lost during ageing

No full textThis article explains issues pertaining to protection of materials that are relevant by their use or their invention in the view of changing socio-economicconditions and evolution of approaches to historic preservation. The author discusses sources of problems, provides historical outline of research studies and presents the current situation in Poland. Furthermore, the article focuses on problems related to the definition of industrial and engineering heritage and assessment of its values. Particular emphasis was placed upon authenticity and classification of materials that are relevant by their use or their invention. The author of this article also highlights that this type of heritage and other historic monuments and sites should be considered equal. Additionally, this paper suggests how crucial the concept of integrated area-based protection is to efficient historic preservation of materials that are relevant by their use or their invention.This article explains issues pertaining to protection of materials that are relevant by their use or their invention in the view of changing socio-economicconditions and evolution of approaches to historic preservation.

KWALIFIKACJA WARTOŚCI ZABYTKU W ŚWIETLE PRAWA STANÓW ZJEDNOCZONYCH AMERYKI PÓŁNOCNEJ
No full textThis article examines value-based selection criteria applied in classification of historic monuments and sites in American legislation. Furthermore, the author of this article arrives at conclusions which could be applied in the Polish provisions of law. In the USA, there are two registers of historic monuments and sites, i.e. National Register of Historic Places and National Historic Landmark Register which consists of buildings, districts, objects, sites, or structures that are officially recognized by the United States government for their outstanding historical significance. In both cases, the requirements which the properties, objects, and sites to be entered into the register must meet are defined very precisely. Moreover, detailed monument valuation criteria, different for each category, can support the decision on listing a monument or site. The author of this article analyses these criteria and concludes that they could provide a basis for developing interpretation guidelines for applying provisions of the Polish Act on Protection and Guardianship of Monuments and Sites. These instructions would help historic preservation officers assess values of properties and sites. Their decisions would be therefore less intuitive and subjective but based on specific criteria. This would result in value assessments being standardised in the entire country.This article examines value-based selection criteria applied in classification of historic monuments and sites in American legislation.

WARTOŚĆ ZABYTKOWA MIERZONA W METRACH. OCHRONA ZABYTKÓW W KONTEKŚCIE USTAWY O OCHRONIE ZABYTKÓW I OPIECE NAD ZABYTKAMI ORAZ PRAWA BUDOWLANEGO
No full textThis article explores the relations between the provisions of the Act on the Protection and Guardianship of Monuments and Sites and the Construction Law from the perspective of modern historic preservation. Particular emphasis is placed on the forms of direct historic preservation in the context of the record of historic monuments and sites, which, in spite of being mentioned in the said Act, is not referred to as a form of ‘preservation’. What is also highlighted in this article is the necessity to make amendments to legal acts pertaining to classification and categorisation of historic monuments and sites. The author of this article is of the opinion that this can be achieved only by standardizing administrative regulations and deleting contradictory regulations from legal acts.This article explores the relations between the provisions of the Act on the Protection and Guardianship of Monuments and Sites and the Construction Law from the perspective of modern historic preservation.

DZIEDZICTWO NOWOCZESNOŚCI W JAPONII – KATEGORIE WARTOŚCIOWANIA I PRZYKŁADY OBIEKTÓW
No full textThe author presents observations and information gathered during his study visit to Japan in February 2016. The Law of 30 May 1950 for the Protection of Cultural Property is outlined and formal categories of monuments are accordingly provided. The eight case studies discuss valorization of monuments based on contextual interpretation and along with their social and national significance. A non-European system of dating where timeline is divided not on centuries but by historical periods of different yearly length according to the emperor’s reign is mentioned. Special attention is given to the entry of Japanese site on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2015, because it represents the resources of the industrial heritage from the Meiji Restoration – an eve of Modernity. Within conclusions author calls for better education of preservationists who should be familiar with humanistic dimension of their profession expressed by research not only a tangible objects but the important individuals related to the given protected site, as well.Autor przedstawia spostrzeżenia i informacje zebrane podczas wizyty studyjnej w Japonii w lutym 2016 r. Przedstawiona została Ustawa z 30 maja 1950 r. o ochronie dóbr kulturalnych , a także formalne kategorie pomników. W ośmiu studiach przypadku omówiono waloryzację zabytków w oparciu o interpretację kontekstualną oraz jej znaczenie społeczne i narodowe. Opisano pozaeuropejski system datowania, w którym oś czasu jest podzielona nie na wieki, ale na okresy historyczne o różnej rocznej długości, zgodnie z panowaniem cesarza. Szczególną uwagę zwraca się na wpis japońskiego obiektu na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO w 2015 r., ponieważ reprezentuje on zasoby dziedzictwa przemysłowego z Restauracji Meiji jako przedpole nowoczesności. W ramach wniosków autor apeluje o lepszą edukację konserwatorów, którzy powinni być zaznajomieni z humanistycznym wymiarem swojego zawodu, wyrażonym nie tylko przez badania przedmiotów namacalnych, ale także osób związanych z miejscem chronionym
OCENA WARTOŚCI – NIEZBĘDNY ETAP OCHRONY ZABYTKÓW ARCHEOLOGICZNYCH
No full textIn 2012 and 2015, Zbigniew Kobyliński’s articles on valuing archaeological monuments and sites (the article of 2012 was co-authored by Jacek Wysocki) were printed in post-conference publications. Z. Kobyliński assumed that historic preservation officers can assess values of archaeological sites by basing on non-scientific criteria and the level of preservation of artifacts only. The author is also of the opinion that the criteria used for classifying and categorising both properties of special architectural and historic interest and works of arts cannot be applied to archaeological sites. This stems from the knowledge on full potential of archaeological monuments and sites being limited prior to conducting thorough analyses. According to Kobyliński, any value assessment results in negative selection of archaeological sites and therefore, it is of utmost importance to provide all resources with appropriate protection. The author of this article takes a different point of view. Assuming that there is 0.5 million sites entered into the Polish record of archaeological monuments and sites, Konopka is of the opinion that it is and will be impossible to provide all resources even with basic monitoring, not mentioning active care. He reckons that basing on the information collected by archaeologists, it is possible to nominate sites of outstanding potential. Analysing the records by applying the most innovative non-invasive methods may allow for selecting sites which should be provided with particular care in a certain region. Konopka calls for implementing a form in which past relics of outstanding historical value and features characteristic of archaeological sites would be listed. These would be useful in identifying the potential of the place to be protected. He suggests creating a card being of higher rank than the record. The information provided therein would be helpful in nominating properties and sites to be entered into the register of historic monuments and sites.In 2012 and 2015, Zbigniew Kobyliński’s articles on valuing archaeological monuments and sites (the article of 2012 was co-authored by Jacek Wysocki) were printed in post-conference publications.
