At present, additively manufactured biomedical materials find extensive applications in a wide range of avenues ranging from orthopaedics to urology. Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques based on the layerwise deposition of materials allow fabrication of complex-shaped biomedical components with a high level of accuracy. In this context, the major challenge is to obtain robust and functional engineering...
The author has no intention to surprise the readers or to impose on them (people are already tired of the extraordinary lifestyle) his original vision even if it is based on his inner belief. He wishes to awaken the readers, and in full observance of Western pragmatism, Eastern deference and traditions (to which everything is subject), to pull them out of the odd vagueness in which they have been...

Most of the studies employ a technical perspective thatis focused on studying how to integrate various technologies and the resulting benefits for organisations...
Diabetic retinopathy is the most common complication of diabetes and a leading cause of vision loss. Many of the studies addressing diabetic retinopathy have focused on the clinically well-recognized feature of microangiopathy and its underlying mechanisms to develop protective strategies directed against exacerbated angiogenesis and subsequent vision loss. Hyperglycaemia induced at the initiation...
We hypothesize that Parkinson’s disease (PD) pathogenesis can be divided intothree temporal phases. During the first phase, ‘triggers’, such as viral infectionsor environmental toxins, spark the disease process in the brain and/or periph-eral tissues. Triggers alone, however, may be insufficient, requiring ‘facilitators’like peripheral inflammation for PD pathology to develop. Once the diseasemanifests,...

Parkinson’s disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases in the elderly. The motor symptoms occur predominantly due to substantial dopamine depletion, caused by degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta. Apoptosis has been implicated as the main mechanism of neuronal death in Parkinson’s disease. Apoptosis is mediated by a number of initiator and executioner...
Finding the best matching job offers for a candidate profile or, the best candidates profiles for a particular job offer, respectively constitutes the most common and most relevant type of queries in the Human Resources (HR) sector. This technically requires to investigate top-k queries on top of knowledge bases and relational databases. We propose in this paper a top-k query algorithm on relational...
The period of time since Poland concluded good neighbourhood treaties with its neighbours can be characterised as one in which the mutual relations initiated by the provisions of particular treaties have changed and evolved. Step by step, new areas of mutual cooperation have opened up where possible. Final considerations and a summary of the research conducted are contained in the Conclusions. As...

Organizational crises may be conducive to the process of intensive organizational knowledge acquisition. Actions undertaken in terms of crisis management often constitute the means for organizational learning. The conflict between innovative learning (double-loop learning), in which both the assumptions and the standards/strategies are modified, and routine learning (single-loop learning), which concerns...
