Introduction The rich biodiversity of agricultural fields and their surroundings enhances natural ecosystems and has a positive impact on their productivity and resistance, e.g., by main- taining a balance between crop pathogens and pests, ensuring pollination and nutrient cycles [1]. Segetal flora, commonly known as weeds, are present in all types of crops, and their composition, density and biomass depend on many factors, including the species of crop, habitat conditions, the performance of crop management procedures, and the time of year [2]. From the point of view of human management, weeds are undesirable species in fields, because their presence reduces the yield of crops and contributes to the deterioration of the crop quality. Some weeds are also harmful because they can be hosts of pests or crop pathogens, parasites or semiparasites, or have poisonous properties towards animals and humans. However, apart from the negative aspects, weeds also have many positive functions in agrocenoses, such as increasing the number of pollinators, providing habitats and food for beneficial insects, and some secrete substances that inhibit the development of pests [3].

( Helichrysum plicatum DC. subsp. plicatum, Helichrysum plicatum DC. subsp. polyphillum (Ledeb) P.H.Davis & Kupicha and Helichrysum plicatum DC. subsp. isauricum Parolly) were investigated for the essential oil chemical compositions. The volatiles were obtained by conventional hydrodistillation of aerial parts and microdistillation of inflorescences. Subsequent gas chromatography (GC-FID) and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC/MS) revealed chemical diversity in compositions of the volatiles analyzed. A total of 199 compounds were identified representing 73.9-98.3% of the volatiles compositions. High abundance of fatty acids and their esters (24.9-70.8%) was detected in the herb volatiles of H. plicatum subsp. polyphyllum and H. plicatum subsp. isauricum . The inflorescences of Helichrysum subspecies were found to be rich in monoterpenes (15.0-93.1%), fatty acids (0.1-36.3%) and sesquiterpenes (1.1-25.5%). The inflorescence volatiles of H. plicatum subsp. isauricum were distinguished by predomination of monoterpene hydrocarbons (93.1%) with fenchene (88.3%) as the major constituent Keywords: Helichrysum plicatum; GC/MS ; volatiles; biodiversity; Turkish flora.

    Online - 2455-3891 Vol 12, Issue 7, 2019 Print - 0974-2441 Review Article HELICHRYSUM CYMOSUM (L.) D.DON (ASTERACEAE): MEDICINAL USES, CHEMISTRY, AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES ALFRED MAROYI* Department of Botany, Medicinal Plants and Economic Development Research Centre, University of Fort Hare, Private Bag X1314, Alice 5700, South Africa. Email: [email protected] Received: 26 April 2019, Revised and Accepted: 24 May 2019 ABSTRACT Helichrysum cymosum is a valuable and well-known medicinal plant in tropical Africa. The current study critically reviewed the medicinal uses, phytochemistry and biological activities of H. cymosum. Information on medicinal uses, phytochemistry and biological activities of H. cymosum, was collected from multiple internet sources which included Scopus, Google Scholar, Elsevier, Science Direct, Web of Science, PubMed, SciFinder, and BMC. Additional information was gathered from pre-electronic sources such as journal articles, scientific reports, theses, books, and book chapters obtained from the University library. This study showed that H. cymosum is traditionally used as a purgative, ritual incense, and magical purposes and as herbal medicine for colds, cough, fever, headache, and wounds. Ethnopharmacological research revealed that H. cymosum extracts and compounds isolated from the species have antibacterial, antioxidant, antifungal, antiviral, anti-HIV, anti-inflammatory, antimalarial, and cytotoxicity activities. This research showed that H. cymosum is an integral part of indigenous pharmacopeia in tropical Africa, but there is lack of correlation between medicinal uses and existing pharmacological properties of the species. Therefore, future research should focus on evaluating the chemical and pharmacological properties of H. cymosum extracts and compounds isolated from the species. Keywords: Asteraceae, Ethnopharmacology, Helichrysum cymosum, Herbal medicine, Indigenous pharmacopeia, Tropical Africa.

  • History of Masovian Voivodeship This Presentation Is About the Contemporary Administrative Unit
    HISTORY OF MASOVIAN VOIVODESHIP THIS PRESENTATION IS ABOUT THE CONTEMPORARY ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT. FOR THE PRE-PARTITION ONE, SEE MASOVIAN VOIVODESHIP (1526–1795). WHEN THE PROVINCE WAS CREATED? The province was created on January 1, 1999, out of the former Warsaw, Płock, Ciechanów, Ostrołęka, Siedlce and Radom Voivodeships, pursuant to the Polish local government reforms adopted in 1998. The province's name recalls the traditional name of the region, Mazowsze , with which it is roughly coterminous. However, southern part of the voivodeship, with Radom, historically belongs to Lesser Poland, while Łomża and its surroundings, even though historically part of Mazovia, now is part of Podlaskie Voivodeship. History- The voivodeship was officially created by King Sigismund I the Old on December 27, 1529, WHERE IS THE MASOVIAN VOIVODESHIP ? The Masovian Voivodeship is one of 16 voivodeships in Poland Masovian Voivodeship Poland Masovian Voivodeship Masovian voivodeship It’s capital city is is located in east of Poland. Warsaw.

  • Development of Selected Cities from Masovian 2 Voivodeship in the Aspect of the Urban Resilience 3 Concept
    SILESIAN UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY PUBLISHING HOUSE SCIENTIFIC PAPERS OF SILESIAN UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY 2020 ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT SERIES NO. 145 1 DEVELOPMENT OF SELECTED CITIES FROM MASOVIAN 2 VOIVODESHIP IN THE ASPECT OF THE URBAN RESILIENCE 3 CONCEPT 4 Radosław KORNEĆ 5 Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities, Faculty of Social Science; [email protected], 6 ORCID: 0000-0002-5949-0089 7 Purpose: There are many concepts related to effective management of urban centres that have 8 been advanced recently. One is the concept of urban resilience. This allows determining the 9 level of vulnerability and recovery of city economy to occurring events and phenomenon based 10 on analysis of defined indicators. 11 Design/methodology/approach: The research problem taken up in this article, it concerns the 12 question of how an assessment of urban resilience can be done in an economic context with the 13 use of open-access statistical data. In Polish literature there are some studies concerning the 14 chosen topic, however, they do not relate to the particular subject of research. 15 Findings: The results are a certain confirmation of studies that were developed for other urban 16 centres. One common conclusion is that the main external disturbance that significantly 17 changed the selected values of the dynamics of resilience and vulnerability, as well as the line 18 of trajectory related to the development of the studied cities, was the financial crisis that was 19 observed during the years 2009-2012. This particularly affected Warsaw. 20 Originality/value: The urban resilience concept that was applied in the research is a relatively 21 new approached that is used in diagnosing transitions taking place in cities as a result of external 22 socio-economic conditions.

Human dirofilariosis in Poland: the first cases of autochthonous infections with Dirofilaria repens. Ann Agric Environ Med. 2012; 19(3): 445-450. Abstract Dirofilaria (Nochtiella) repens Railliet et Henry, 1911 (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) is a subcutaneous parasite of dogs and other carnivorous animals, with human acting as incidental hosts. D. repens occurs endemically in warm climates on various continents, in Europe mainly in Mediterranean countries. The aim of this study was to summarize information on human dirofilariosis in Poland, taking into consideration parasitological and epidemiological data. Between April 2009 – December 2011, in the parasitological laboratories of Medical University in Warsaw and the National Institute of Public Health/National Institute of Hygiene, fragments of affected human tissues and parasite specimens were examined microscopically. Molecular methods were used to confirm the results from eight microscopic investigations. A literature review to summarize all data on dirofilarial infections in humans in Poland was conducted.
