    Title: Modular System for Distributed User Data Management Author: Filip Pavliš, Author's email: [email protected] Department: Department of Distributed and Dependable Systems Supervisor: Mgr. Pavel Ježek, Department of Distributed and Dependable Systems Abstract: The main objective of this project was to create a multiplatform modular system for distributed data management. The system supports both local and remote accessible data storage. Therefore a part of the solution is also a server for remote data access. System also provides parallel usage of a local and remote storage which guarantees that the storage is accessible also when connection to server is lost. In this case, system is capable to synchronize changes between the server and a client. A client can use multiple instances of his storage and our system is able to synchronize them through central server. The system provides abstraction over data model to separate plugin developers from its specific behavior. As practical preview of system usability was created an extension application called TuaLoca. The application will contain implementation of preview plugins and basic user interaction. Keywords: Distributed Data Management, Modular system, Synchronization on the SQL Queries Level, Distributed Solution for Interface LIN

    Cilj istraživanja: Unatoč značajnom napretku u području medicine, karcinom grkljana i dalje predstavlja izazov obzirom da se petogodišnje preživljenje nije značajnije mijenjalo u zadnjim desetljećima. Područje imunološke onkologije stvorilo je obećavajuće imunomodulacijske terapije i otvorilo nove načine liječenja. Programirani ligand smrti 1 (PD-L1) transmembranski je protein koji se veže na protein programirane stanične smrti 1 (PD-1) smješten na površini citotoksičnih limfocita. Vezivanje uzrokuje niz kaskadnih reakcija koje dovode do smanjenog imunološkog odgovora. Cilj ove studije je utvrditi razinu izražaja PD-L1 kao i stanica mikrookoliša (CD4, CD8, CD68 i CD163) u skvamoznim lezijama grkljana, njihov međusobni odnos te utjecaj na preživljenje kod skvamoznih karcinoma ili progresiju bolesti u slučaju displazija. Ispitanici i metode: Ova retrospektivna studija uključila je 179 bolesnika, a od toga 102 s dijagnozom skvamoznog karcinoma grkljana, 41 s displazijom grkljana te 36 s polipima glasnica. Za procjenu izražaja PD-L1 kao i stanica tumorskog mikrookoliša (CD4, CD8, CD68 i CD163) korištena je imunohistokemijska analiza. Rezultati: PD-L1 izražaj kao i izražaj stanica tumorskog mikrookoliša statistički je značajno veći u karcinomima grkljana u odnosu na displazije te u displazijama u odnosu na benigne lezije. Nije nađena statistički značajna razlika u PD-L1 izražaju niti u izražaju stanica tumorskog mikrookoliša između displazija koje su progredirale u karcinom i onih koje to nisu. Dokazana je statistički značajna pozitivna korelacija PD-L1 sa svim ispitivanim stanicama tumorskog mikrookoliša. Bolesnici s visokim intraepitelnim izražajem CD68 i CD163 (p=0.0005 i p=0.006) imali su statistički značajno kraće preživljenje specifično za bolest. Nadalje, statistički kraće vrijeme do pojave recidiva bolesti pronađeno je u bolesnika s visokim intratepitelnim CD68 i visokim ukupnim CD8 (p=0.049 i p=0.019). Pojačan ukupni izražaj CD8 (>23%) i pojačan intraepitelni izražaj CD68 (>2,7%) također su bili statistički značajni prediktori recidiva (p=0.028, OR=3.11 i p=0.019, OR=3.13). Zaključak: Rezultati ove studije ukazuju da su stanice mikrookoliša tumora značajni prognostički čimbenici kod skvamoznog karcinoma grkljana. Pojačani izražaji CD68 i CD163 prediktori su lošijeg preživljenja kod bolesnika sa skvamoznim karcinomom grkljana.Objectives: Despite significant progress in the field of medicine, laryngeal cancer continues to represent a challenge, given that the five-year survival rate has not significantly changed in recent decades. The field of immune oncology has created promising immunomodulation therapies and opened up new ways of treatment. Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a transmembrane protein that binds to the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) located on the surface of cytotoxic lymphocytes. The binding causes a series of cascade reactions that lead to a reduced immune response. The aim of this study is to determine the expression level of PD-L1 as well as microenvironmental cells (CD4, CD8, CD68 and CD163) in laryngeal squamous lesions, their mutual relation and influence on survival in squamous carcinomas or disease progression in the case of dysplasia. Patients and methods: This retrospective study included 179 patients, of which 102 were diagnosed with squamous laryngeal carcinoma, 41 with laryngeal dysplasia, and 36 with vocal fold polyps. Immunohistochemical methods were used to evaluate the expression of PD-L1 as well as the cells of the tumor microenvironment (CD4, CD8, CD68 and CD163). Results: PD-L1 expression as well as the expression of cells in the tumor microenvironment is statistically significantly higher in laryngeal carcinomas compared to dysplasias and in dysplasias compared to benign lesions. No statistically significant difference was found in PD L1 expression or in the expression of cells in the tumor microenvironment between dysplasias that progressed to cancer and those that didn’t. A statistically significant positive correlation of PD-L1 with all examined cells of the tumor microenvironment was demonstrated. Patients with high intraepithelial expression of CD68 and CD163 (p=0.0005 and p=0.006) had statistically significantly shorter disease-specific survival. Furthermore, a statistically shorter time to recurrence was found in patients with high intraepithelial CD68 and high overall CD8 (p=0.049 and p=0.019). Increased overall expression of CD8 (>23%) and increased intraepithelial expression of CD68 (>2.7%) were also statistically significant predictors of recurrence (p=0.028, OR=3.11 and p=0.019, OR=3.13). Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that tumor microenvironment cells are significant prognostic factors in squamous laryngeal carcinoma. Increased expression of CD68 and CD163 are predictors of worse survival in patients with squamous laryngeal carcinoma

    The article is an analysis of three works by Filip Kallimach (Filippo Buonaccorsi) regarding marriage (elegy XXII, Epithalamium Fanniae ac Musaei, carmen Ad se ipsum). In the collections of Roman elegies from the Augustian era, there are no wedding pieces. The source of Callimachus’ idea is found by the author of the article in Epithalamium in Stellam et Violentillam by P. Papinius Statius and, indirectly, through the epithalamium of Statius – in the unpreserved elegies of L. Arruntius Stella, a poet of Domitian times.The article is an analysis of three works by Filip Kallimach (Filippo Buonaccorsi) regarding marriage (elegy XXII, Epithalamium Fanniae ac Musaei, carmen Ad se ipsum).
