    Poster Session 2 17:20 - 18:20 Thursday, 24th June, 2021 Tracks Poster Session 9 Understanding the internal structure of amyloid superstructures with polarization analysis of two-photon excited fluorescence Maciej Lipok, Patryk Obstarczyk, Manuela Grelich-Mucha, Joanna Olesiak-Bańska Advanced Materials Engineering and Modelling Group, Wrocław University of Science and Technology Abstract Text The goal of our study is to develop label-free method for measuring the organization of amyloid fibrils based on their polarization-resolved two-photon excited autofluorescence. For our purpose, we have modified the model used for measuring fibril organization from polarization resolved one-photon fluorescence microscopy and applied it to successfully determine the internal structural organization of fibrils inside insulin spherulites. Amyloids are ordered protein aggregates and a hallmark of multiple neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s. Understanding the origin and course of amyloidogenesis is a key issue for creation of effective curative methods. A plethora of information about this process could be gathered from studying the organization of amyloid structures in different conditions.[1] In previous years, it was shown that ordering of amyloids stained with Thioflavin T could be efficiently determined using polarization-resolved fluorescence microscopy. [2] However, a label influences the aggregation process [3] and the data obtained from stained structures may differ from the naturally occurring label-free ones. Moreover, correct determination of fibril ordering in densely packed superstructures like amyloid plaques needs high precision which could hardly be achieved using standard fluorescence microscopes. Our method is overcoming this drawbacks, allowing to determine the local ordering of label-free amyloid fibrils in spherulites, amyloid superstructures, using their intrinsic polarization-resolved two-photon excited autofluorescence.

  • BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and PHILOSOPHY:Knowledge Here
    BATTLESTAR GALACTICA AND PHILOSOPHY The Blackwell Philosophy and PopCulture Series Series editor William Irwin A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, and a healthy help- ing of popular culture clears the cobwebs from Kant. Philosophy has had a public relations problem for a few centuries now. This series aims to change that, showing that philosophy is relevant to your life—and not just for answering the big questions like “To be or not to be?” but for answering the little questions: “To watch or not to watch South Park?” Thinking deeply about TV, movies, and music doesn’t make you a “complete idiot.” In fact it might make you a philosopher, someone who believes the unexamined life is not worth living and the unexamined cartoon is not worth watching.

Resum del TFG Es tracta d’un anàlisi de la desbancada situació actual del sector dels jocs d’ordinador i en línia al Japó, així com la causa per la qual ha acabant sent així. Primer exposo l’estat occidental per a poder comparar-lo després amb les empreses més presents a ambdós bàndols. Comento també els problemes que sorgeixen de la no-localització de videojocs d’ordinador en línia, i els que encapçalen els rànkings d’èxit actualment. La percepció actual i l’estat en que es trova, així com els petits blocs de creixement que pot tenir gràcies a companyies que aposten amb innovació per aquest sector, están també explicats juntament amb el futur que es pot esperar pròximament, sobretot de certes companyies destacables i dels creadors indie.
