Children are among the best vectors to spread respiratory viruses, including emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2 due to the asymptomatic or relatively mild course of infection and simultaneously high titres of pathogens in the respiratory tract. Therefore, individuals who have constant contact with children, e.g.

Laboratory adsorption and degradation studies were carried out to determine the effect of time-dependent adsorption on propiconazole degradation rates in samples from three Polish Luvisols. Strong propiconazole adsorption (organic carbon normalized adsorption coefficients K in the range of 1217-7777 mL/g) was observed in batch experiments, with a typical biphasic mechanism with a fast initial step followed by the time-dependent step, which finished within 48 h in the majority of soils. The time-dependent step observed in incubation experiments was longer (duration from 5 to 23 d), and its contribution to total adsorption was from 20% to 34%.

Background: Testicular cancer (TC) is the most common cancer in the 25-40 age group, with peak morbidity at around 30 years of age. It is a period of highest productivity, when sexual sphere is an important aspect of life. The disease, invasive treatment and its consequences interfere with this sphere.

Novel random terpolymers of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonate (AMPS), and cinnamoyloxyethylmethacrylate (CEMA) were synthesized by free radical copolymerization using AIBN as an initiator. Five terpolymers were obtained by copolymerization of the monomer mixtures containing a fixed amount of 10 mol % of AMPS while the content of CEMA ranged from 5 to 25 mol % and was changed in 5 mol % increments. The terpolymers obtained are water-soluble.
