The aim of the article was a comparison of the content’s scope, classification and presentation methods on topographical maps issued at the turn of 19th and 20th century covering the territory of former Russian partition. Three of such maps were chosen for the analysis, namely: Russian (scale 1:84,000), Austrian (scale 1:75,000) and German (scale 1:100,000). As a starting point of the study served an attempt at reconstruction of map legends, as, a coherent symbology key (i.e. map legend) can be found neither for Russian nor German map. It was conducted by employing the symbology keys prepared in the Interwar Period, as for the Russian map there was no legend enclosed, while in the case of German the legend enclosed featured only the road network. Apart from the legends, an analysis of the map sheets covering four areas was conducted. Those areas were, as follow: Brest, Dęblin, Pinsk and Pułtusk vicinites. The next stage was to elaborate a legend comparison with summary in the form of a table for particular thematic layers: settlement and built-up area, transport network, sacral buildings facilities and other buildings, land cover, hydrography, relief, and borders. An assumption was made that despite the apparent similarity of the scales (1:75,000, 1:84,000, 1:100,000) and source materials the maps analysed are distinct in terms of presentation of the geohistorical landscape. The settlements on the Russian map were illustrated in a schematic manner, while the other maps approached the subject more meticulously. The discrepancies involve also such areas as: road network, land cover, and waters, which were categorised along different sets of criterion. It happened that some categories present on the Russian map were absent from the Austrian and German. It involved such objects as: fascine roads, wooden churches or radiostations. Those differences stem from not only the “military mode” of elaboration of the German and Austrian map, but also conscious interference in the scope of content and classification methods.

The Langmuir-Blodgett technique was used to transfer the monolayers of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) from the subphase containing chitosan (Ch) and/or titanium(IV) oxide (TiO2) and/or hyaluronic acid (HA) on glass plates after a low-temperature air plasma treatment. The surface free energy and its components were determined on the basis of advancing and receding contact angle measurements of water (W), formamide (F), and diiodomethane (DM). To estimate the total surface free energy (𝛾𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑡), the contact angle hysteresis (CAH) model was used, and the obtained data were compared with the results calculated from the Lifshitz-van der Waals/acid–base (LWAB) approach. It was found that the subphase components modify the surface of the phospholipid monolayer by changing the type and magnitude of interactions. They were reflected as significant differences in the obtained values of total surface free energy and its components. These findings can help in the development of composite materials, thereby expanding the spectrum of applications for chitosan, TiO2, and HA, as well as understanding the interactions between biomaterial and cell.

Sieciowanie kolagenu rogówki jest techniką stosowaną w okulistyce, której mechanizm polega na wytworzeniu nowych wiązań pomiędzy włóknami kolagenu, co prowadzi do stabilizacji i usztywnienia struktury rogówki. Najczęstszym wskazaniem do wykonywania zabiegów sieciowania kolagenu rogówki jest zapobieganie progresji zmian ektatycznych rogówki, tzn. stożka rogówki, zwyrodnienia brzeżnego przezroczystego oraz ektazji po zabiegach fotokeratorefrakcyjnych. Doniesienia naukowe wskazują także na skuteczność sieciowania kolagenu rogówki w leczeniu bakteryjnych zakażeń rogówki oraz keratopatii pęcherzowej. Technika ta jest skuteczna w stabilizacji ektazji, a leczenie często prowadzi do zwiększenia ostrości widzenia, zmniejszenia maksymalnej wartości keratometrii oraz poprawy obrazu topografii rogówki. Ponadto dzięki zastosowaniu sieciowania kolagenu rogówki możemy uniknąć konieczności wykonania bardziej inwazyjnych zabiegów chirurgicznych, takich jak przeszczep rogówki, lub odroczyć je w czasie.

Corneal collagen cross-linking, a technique used in ophthalmology, involves the creation of new bonds between collagen fibers, thus leading to stabilization and corneal stiffening. The most common indication for corneal collagen cross-linking procedures is to prevent the progression of corneal ectasia,\ i.e., keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, and ectasia after corneal refractive surgery. Clinical data also indicate that it is effective in the treatment of bacterial corneal infections and bullous keratopathy. Corneal collagen cross-linking was shown to inhibit the progression of corneal ectasia, and the treatment commonly leads to the improvement in visual acuity, decreases the maximum keratometry values, and improves the corneal topography image. In addition, it is possible to avoid or postpone the need for more complex and invasive surgery.
