Visualizing cell-laden fibrin-based hydrogels using cryogenic scanning electron microscopy and confocal microscopy
No full textThe present investigation explores the microscopic aspects of cell-laden hydrogels at high resolutions, using three-dimensional cell cultures in semi-synthetic constructs that are of very high water content (>98% water). The study aims to provide an imaging strategy for these constructs, while minimizing artefacts. Constructs of poly(ethylene glycol)-fibrinogen and fibrin hydrogels containing embedded mesenchymal cells (human dermal fibroblasts) were first imaged by confocal microscopy. Next, high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) was used to provide images of the cells within the hydrogels, at submicron resolutions. Because it was not possible to obtain artefact-free images of the hydrogels using room-temperature HR-SEM, a cryogenic HR-SEM imaging methodology was employed to visualize the sample while preserving the natural hydrated state of the hydrogel. The ultrastructural details of the constructs were observed at subcellular resolutions, revealing numerous cellular components, the biomaterial in its native configuration, and the uninterrupted cell membrane as it relates with the biomaterial in the hydrated state of the construct. Constructs containing microscopic albumin microbubbles were also imaged using these methodologies to reveal fine details of the interaction between the cells, the microbubbles, and the hydrogel. Taken together with the confocal microscopy, this imaging strategy provides a more complete picture of the hydrated state of the hydrogel network with cells inside. As such, this methodology addresses some of the challenges of obtaining this information in amorphous hydrogel systems containing a very high water content (>98%) with embedded cells. Such insight may lead to better hydrogel-based strategies for tissue engineering and regeneration

2023 Artur Schnabel- Early Piano Works and Early Art Songs op. 11/ fortepian
No full textArtur Schnabel- Early Piano Works and Early Art Songs op. 11 – to pierwsza płyta w Polsce z utworami solowymi na fortepian i wczesnymi pieśniami na głos i fortepian wybitnego pianisty i kompozytora Artura Schnabla. Na płycie znalazło się 15 utworów kompozytora. Wykonawcy: Jarosław Pelc - fortepian, Magda Niedbała- Solarz- mezzosopran. Płytę wydało wydawnictwo Henewit studio.
Artur Schnabel (1882–1951) to austriacki pianista i kompozytor urodzony na ziemiach polskich w rodzinie żydowskiej. Był uczniem Teodora Leszetyckiego i wybitnym interpretatorem dzieł Mozarta, Beethovena, Brahmsa i Schuberta. Karierę pianistyczną łączył z działalnością kompozytorską.
Prezentowane na płycie 3 Fantasy Pieces (bez opusu) powstały w roku 1898, są utrzymane w duchu romantycznym. Zostały zadedykowane profesorowi Teodorowi Leszetyckiemu. Schnabel skomponował je na studencki konkurs pianistyczny sponsorowany przez Leszetyckiego. Za każdy z trzech utworów otrzymał główną nagrodę. Cechą wczesnej twórczości Artura Schnabla jest pewna zwięzłość motywiczna dominująca w większości utworów z tego okresu. 3 Fantasy Pieces tworzą zróżnicowane miniatury fortepianowe o odmiennym nastroju i charakterze.
Drugi cykl 3 Piano Pieces powstał w 1906 roku i został zadedykowany Willy’emu Tiktinowi, który był przyjacielem Schnabla. Rozpoczyna go Rhapsodie o miarowej rytmice i zwięzłej narracji muzycznej, nawiązującej nieco do Promenady z Obrazków z wystawy M. Musorgskiego, pełni rolę wprowadzającą do kolejnych utworów cyklu. W drugim utworze, mrocznym Nachtbild, znajdziemy dalekie echa muzyki J. Brahmsa i A. Scriabina, z rozbudowaną fakturą fortepianową i zdradzającą dwudziestowieczne wpływy harmoniką.
Skomponowane przez Artura Schnabla pieśni z op. 11 powstały w latach 1899–1902 w wyniku współpracy ze śpiewaczką Therese Behr. Romantyczna aura jest tu wyrażona frazą melodyczną, uczuciowością oraz subtelną paletą zmiennych nastrojów, pozostających w kręgu twórców pieśni romantycznych Franciszka Schuberta i Roberta Schumanna.
Na płycie znalazły się utwory:

Is There a Union Wage Premium in Germany and Which Workers Benefit Most?
No full textUsing representative data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), this paper finds
a statistically significant union wage premium in Germany of almost three percent, which is not
simply a collective bargaining premium. Given that the union membership fee is typically about
one percent of workers’ gross wages, this finding suggests that it pays off to be a union member.
Our results show that the wage premium differs substantially between various occupations and
educational groups, but not between men and women. We do not find that union wage premia are
higher for those occupations and workers which constitute the core of union membership. Rather,
unions seem to care about disadvantaged workers and pursue a wider social agenda

Colour in life. Anterior portion of body (anterior two-thirds of carapace, the chelipeds and anterior margins of the walking legs) deep orange, fading to a pale white in posterior portion of body; tips of rostrum and anterolateral spines, the median branchial prominence and cardiac grooves pale; ocular peduncles pale orange. Remarks. The type material contains the female holotype and a smaller male paratype. The male is considerably damaged with the anterior portion of the carapace, the eyes, rostrum and chelipeds missing. However, the sculpturing and ornamentation of the remaining carapace, abdomen and walking legs clearly match the characteristics of this new species and conform to the morphology of the holotype specimen. Munidopsis sculpo sp. nov. most closely resembles the group of species within the genus sharing a strongly tuberculate or rugose carapace. This includes M. sonne Baba, 1995, M. papanui Schnabel & Bruce, 2006 and M. bractea Ahyong, 2007 with which it also shares the distinctly dorsolaterally cristate antennule. Munidopsis sculpo can, however, be distinguished from all other species of Munidopsis by the combination of the distinct longitudinal median convex ridge that spans the entire gastric region, the strong cardiac process and a large blunt median processes each on abdominal tergites 2–4. Munidopsis sculpo was taken at two stations on the flanks of Forde Seamount on the Louisville Ridge (Fig. 1) between 1154–1280 m depth. The substrate in the immediate area is described by Clark et al. (in press) as a mix of bedrock ledges and outcrops with sand overlay and patches of coral rubble. Distribution. Known only from Forde Seamount on the Louisville Ridge; 1154–1280 m. Etymology. Sculpo is the first person singular of the Latin verb ‘to carve, chisel, engrave’, with reference to the elaborately sculptured carapace and abdomen; used here as a noun in apposition.Published as part of Schnabel, Kareen E. & Ahyong, Shane T., 2015, Two new species of Munidopsis (Crustacea: Anomura: Munidopsidae) from the Kermadec and Louisville ridge systems off New Zealand, pp. 241-251 in Zootaxa 3995 (1) on pages 246-249, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3995.1.20, http://zenodo.org/record/23269
