There are different views on (in-)predictability and on (non-)cooperation in Russian foreign policy towards the West, but also on the question about how - that is, through which theoretical framework - to interpret it.This essay aims at contributing to the debate around these three issues.Its goal is to demonstrate the expediency of using a neoclas
Ecotoxicological Assessment of Thermally- and Hydrogen-Reduced Graphene Oxide/TiO2 Photocatalytic Nanocomposites Using the Zebrafish Embryo Model
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have recently attracted great interest in water pollution management.Using the zebrafish embryo model, we investigated the environmental impacts of two thermally (RGOTi)- and hydrogen (H2RGOTi)-reduced graphene oxide/TiO2 semiconductor photocatalysts recently employed in AOPs.For this purpose, acutoxicity, cardio
Effects of interleukin-2 on nitric oxide production in molluscan innate immunity
The hemocytes are the cells responsible for the immunity in molluscs.Cytokines, growth factors, etc, present in the soluble fraction of the hemolymph modulate the immune response.The inflammatory cytokine interleukin-2 (IL-2) induces the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO), responsible for oxidizing processes.In hemocytes of mollusks, the presence of IL
Influence of Shape of Gating System on Pouring Time and Filling of a Sprue with the Use of MAGMA5 Optimization
Present hectic times do not allow the foundrymen to test various modifications of gating system in real production due to lack of time and efficiency of production phase.When testing of tens or hundreds of modifications is needed, simulation software MAGMA5 and its optimization procedure comes into place.This article deals with choosing the best de
Vaccine Literacy, COVID-19 Vaccine-Related Concerns, and Intention to Recommend COVID-19 Vaccines of Healthcare Workers in a Pediatric and Maternity Hospital: A Cross-Sectional Study
Vaccine literacy of healthcare workers (HCWs) may affect the COVID-19 vaccine uptake of the general population.This 152 study aimed to clarify the vaccine literacy level of HCWs in Japan and its impacts on their concerns about vaccines and intention to recommend that others receive vaccines.This cross-sectional survey was conducted in July 2021 bas
