Ocena skuteczności preparatów roślinnych w zwalczaniu mszycy czereśniowej Myzus cerasi F. w ekologicznym systemie uprawy czereśni
No full textIn 2013-2014, a study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of plant extracts in controlling the black cherry aphid
(Myzus cerasi F.) in an ecological orchard. The tested decoctions were prepared from the field horsetail (Equisetum arvense),
white mustard (Sinapis alba), Indian mustard (Brassica juncea), garlic (Allium sativum) and the wood of Quassia
amara. In addition, an extract from the seeds of Azadirachta indica and horticultural potassium soap were also tested. The
used extracts showed to have varied influence on aphid mortality. The highest mortality rates were obtained with the Q.
amara decoction (50% - 2013, and 63.4% - 2014) and the Azadirachta indica extract (45.5% - 2013, and 49.7% - 2014).
The other extracts had less influence on the mortality of the black cherry aphid, which ranged from 7.1 to 32.2%.W latach 2013-2014 oceniano skuteczność preparatów roślinnych w zwalczaniu mszycy czereśniowej (Myzus cerasi F.)
w sadzie ekologicznym. Zastosowano przygotowane we własnym zakresię napary z ziela skrzypu, nasion gorczycy białej
i sarepskiej, główek czosnku oraz wywar z drewna krzewu Quassia amara. Dodatkowo zastosowano gotowe preparaty, ekstrakt
z miodli indyjskiej (Azadirachta indica) oraz mydło ogrodnicze potasowe z dodatkiem wrotyczu. Wykazano zróżnicowany
wpływ zastosowanych preparatów na śmiertelność mszycy. Najwyższa śmiertelność w obydwu latach prowadzenia
badań zanotowano dla wywaru z Quassia amara, która wyniosła 50% (2013) i 63,4% (2014) i nieznacznie niższa dla ekstraktu
z miodli indyjskiej (Azadirachta indica), która wyniosła 45,5% (2013) i 49,7% (2014). Pozostałe preparaty wykazały
zdecydowanie mniejszy wpływ na śmiertelność mszycy czereśniowej, która kształtowała się od 7,1 do 32,2%
Możliwość ograniczenia uszkodzeń owoców przez owocnicę jabłkową (Hoplocampa testudinea Klug) w ekologicznym sadzie jabłoniowym
No full textIn 2010-2012, in the Experimental Ecological Orchard of the Research Institute of Horticulture in Skierniewice, a study was conducted on the possibility of reducing populations of the apple sawfly (Hoplocampa testudinea Klug) using biological formulations. The tests involved treatments with an extract from the wood of Quassia amara (4 kg/ha) and an extract from the seeds of Azadirachta indica in the form of a ready-made formulation NeemAzal-T/S at a rate of 2.5 l/ha with the addition of a 0.3% sugar solution. A single treatment was performed in the first two years, and two treatments in the last year. The effectiveness of the protection of fruitlets against damage varied and for the Q. amara extract was from 8.3% (one treatment) to 86.1% (two treatments), and for the NeemAzal-T/S formulation from 4.8% (one treatment) to 44.3% (two treatments). In relation to the damage to fruits, the efficacy of the treatments also varied, ranging from 10.3% to 60% for the Q. amara extract, and from 0% to 46.7% for NeemAzal-T/S.W latach 2010-2012 w Ekologicznym Sadzie Doświadczalnym Instytutu Ogrodnictwa wykonano badania nad możliwością ograniczenia populacji owocnicy jabłkowej (Hoplocampa testudinea Klug) przy pomocy preparatów biologicznych. Badano wywar z drewna gorzkli właściwej (Quassia amara) (4 kg/ha) oraz ekstrakt z nasion miodli indyjskiej (Azadirachta indica) w postaci gotowego preparatu NeemAzal-T/S w dawce 2,5 l/ha z dodatkiem 0,3% roztworu cukru. W pierwszych dwu latach wykonano 1 zabieg, a w ostatnim roku 2 zabiegi. Efektywność zabezpieczenia zawiązków owocowych przed uszkodzeniami była zróżnicowana i wyniosła dla wywaru z Quassia amara od 8,3% (1 zabieg) do 86,1% (dwa zabiegi), a preparatu Nee-mAzal-T/S od 4,8% (1 zabieg) do 44,3% (2 zabiegi). W stosunku do uszkodzeń owoców efektywność zabiegów również była zróżnicowana i wyniosła od 10,3% do 60% dla wywaru z Quassia amara oraz od 0% do 46,7% dla preparatu NeemAzal-T/S

Herbal extracts modulate the amplitude and frequency of slow waves in circular smooth muscle of mouse small intestine
No full textBackground: Herbal preparations like STW 5 (Iberogast(R)) are widely used drugs in the treatment of dyspepsia and motility-related disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. STW 5 is a phytotherapeutic agent consisting of a fixed mixture of 9 individual plant extracts. The electrophysiological mechanisms of action of STW 5 remain obscure. Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate whether herbal extracts influence electrophysiological parameters of the small intestine. For this purpose, the resting membrane potential (RMP) and the slow wave rhythmicity of smooth muscle cells of mouse small intestine were observed. Methods: Intracellular recordings of smooth muscle cells of the circular muscle layer of mouse small intestine were performed using standard microelectrode techniques. After dissection of the mucosa, the small intestine was placed in an organ bath and a microelectrode was applied on a circular smooth muscle cell. The RMP and the amplitude of slow waves were measured in millivolts. Results: The RMP of smooth muscle cells was - 59 +/- 1.3 mV. This RMP was significantly depolarized by STW 5 ( 9.6 +/- 1.6 mV); the depolarizing effects can be mainly attributed to the constituents of matricariae flos, angelicae radix and chelidonii herba. The basal frequency of small intestinal slow waves was 39.5 +/- 1.4 min(-1) and the amplitude was 23.1 +/- 0.9 mV. STW 5 significantly reduced the amplitude and frequency of the slow waves ( 11.7 +/- 0.8 mV; 33.5 +/- 3.4 min(-1)). This effect on slow waves represents the sum of the effects of the 9 phytoextracts. Whereas angelicae radix and matricariae flos completely blocked slow wave activity, Iberis amara increased the frequency and amplitude, chelidonii herba reduced the frequency and amplitude of the slow waves, mentae piperitae folium reduced the frequency and left amplitude unchanged and liquiritae radix, carvi fructus and melissae folium had no effects. Conclusion: Herbal extracts cause changes in smooth muscle RMP and slow wave rhythmicity, up to reversible abolition, by blockade of large conductance Ca2+ channels and other not yet identified mechanisms. In herbal preparations like STW 5 these effects add up to a total effect and this study indicates that herbal preparations which are widely used in dyspepsia and motility-related disorders have characteristic, reproducible, reversible effects on small intestinal electrophysiology.

Motet „In amara crucis ara” Josquina w „Zielonym kodeksie Viadriny”
No full textManuscript I F 428, located at Wrocław University Library, commonly called The Green Codex of Viadrina, probably copied during the second decade of the sixteenth century, contains complete Mass cycles, single Mass movements, settings of the Magnificat, hymns, motets, and other settings of German texts. Not all of the compositions are attributed, but Martin Staehelin has identified the authorship of many works. Besides the works of such masters of polyphony as Brumel, Compère, Isaac, Senfl, Adam of Fulda, La Rue and Obrecht, the codex contains a tiny motet by Josquin des Prez: In amara crucis ara (fols. 224’–225). This piece is in fact the fourth part of the motet cycle Qui velatus facie fuisti (Officium de passione), published by Petrucci in 1503, from the second motet book titled Motetti de Passione, de Cruce, de Sacramento, de Beata Virgine et huiusmodi B. In MS I F 428, Josquin’s motet was written down after two groups of settings: Officium de Cruce (In nomine Jesu omne genu flectatur caelestium) by Loyset Compère and a polyphonic setting of the Improperia. Some characteristics suggest that these compositions – the two groups of settings plus Josquin’s motet – may have been placed here together because they were considered mutually complementary, all having Good Friday as their subject. In addition, this source fragment is preceded by two blank leaves indicating deliberate separation from the rest of the manuscript, and all the compositions – including Josquin’s motet – are linked by a distinctive ornament attached to the initial letters of the part’s name. Analysis shows that the motet’s text (its symbolic meaning) was probably the main reason why it – and not another part of the cycle Qui velatus facie fuisti – was selected and copied into the codex I F 428. According to the order described earlier, the Improperia are followed by Holy Communion, preceded by a procession of the Holy Sacrament to the altar. In this context, the motet’s words may be read not only symbolically, but also in the literal meaning. It can be assumed that the motet may have been sung during the procession while the hosts were brought to the main altar or while the congregation received the communion.Rękopis I F 428 Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej we Wrocławiu, potocznie nazywany „Zielonym kodeksem Viadriny”, prawdopodobnie sporządzony w drugiej dekadzie XVI w., zawiera cykle mszalne, pojedyncze części mszalne, magnificaty, hymny, motety oraz utwory do tekstów niemieckich. Wszystkie kompozycje zapisane zostały bez atrybucji, jednak Martinowi Staehelinowi udało się zidentyfikować autorstwo wielu z nich. Obok kompozycji takich mistrzów polifonii jak Brumel, Compère, Isaac, Senfl, Adam z Fuldy i Obrecht, w kodeksie znajduje się niewielkich rozmiarów motet Josquina des Prez ‒ In amara crucis ara (f. 224v‒225r). Jest on czwartą częścią cyklu motetowego Qui velatus facie fuisti (Officium de passione), opublikowanego przez Petrucciego w 1503 r., w drugim zbiorze motetów zatytułowanym Motetti de Passione, de Cruce, de Sacramento, de Beata Virgine et huiusmodi B. W rękopisie I F 428 motet Josquina skopiowany został po dwóch grupach polifonicznych opracowań: Officium de Cruce (In nomine Jesu omne genu flectatur caelestium) Loyseta Compère’a i opracowaniach Improperiów. Pewne cechy sugerują, że kompozycje te ‒ dwie grupy polifonicznych opracowań plus motet Josquina ‒ być może były pomyślane jako zamknięta całość; wszystkie te utwory zostały skopiowane w manuskrypcie obok siebie ze względu na wspólny, wiążący je wielkopiątkowy temat. Poza tym, ten konkretny fragment rękopisu oddzielony został od reszty dwoma czystymi kartami, wskazującymi na świadome oddzielenie od reszty manuskryptu, a wszystkie kompozycje ‒ razem z motetem Josquina ‒ połączone zostały za pomocą charakterystycznego ornamentu dołączonego do pierwszej litery nazwy głosu. Analiza pokazuje, iż tekst motetu (jego ogólny wydźwięk i symboliczne znaczenie) był prawdopodobnie głównym powodem dla którego to właśnie ta ‒ a nie inna część cyklu Qui velatus facie fuisti ‒ została wybrana i skopiowana w rękopisie I F 428. W tym kontekście tekst motetu może być odczytywany nie tylko w wymiarze symbolicznym, ale także dosłownym. Można przyjąć, iż motet Josquina był śpiewany podczas procesji w trakcie której Najświętszy Sakrament przenoszono z tzw. ciemnicy do głównego ołtarza, albo kiedy wierni przyjmowali Komunię Świętą
Cytotoxic activity and phytochemical standardization of Lunasia amara Blanco wood extract
No full textAbstractObjectiveTo evaluate the cytotoxic activity of wood extracts of Lunasia amara Blanco (L. amara) and to perform further phytochemical standardization.MethodsThe wood extracts of L. amara were assessed for cytotoxic activity by in vitro tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method against two human cancer cell lines, cervical cancer cells (HeLa) and breast cancer cells (T47D). Thin layer chromatography, Dragendorf, acetic anhydride-sulfuric acid and ferric chloride were used to detect alkaloids, steroids and polyphenols, respectively. Furthermore, quantitative determination of total alkaloid by ultra fast liquid chromatography-photodiode array detection using lunacrine as a marker compound was performed as well.ResultsThe ethyl acetate extract exhibited higher cell-growth inhibition than methanol and n-hexane extracts on HeLa and T47D cancer line cells with the IC50 of 71.15 and 79.04 μg/mL, respectively. Total alkaloid in ethyl acetate extract was counted as (10.46 ± 0.28)% (w/w), while lunacrine determined by ultra fast liquid chromatography-photodiode array detection method was found to be (3.55 ± 0.26)% (w/w).ConclusionsThe high total alkaloid and lunacrine concentration on the extract confirm the potential cytotoxic property of ethyl acetate wood extract of L. amara
Gender-Based Violence in Egypt: Analyzing Impacts of Political Reforms, Social, and Demographic Change
No full textOver recent decades, Egypt has witnessed developments in gender equality. This article discusses recent changes relating to violence against women within this context. Statistical data from the Egyptian DHS surveys is used to describe trends in reported violence and in attitudes toward marital abuse, as well as to examine the survey tools used to measure violence. While findings reflect a growing awareness regarding the issue, the number of women reporting spousal violence remained stable during the study period. The results are contextualized within the political and social debate in which NGO's and women's rights activists play a central role. © The Author(s) 2013
