Opis:
Congo red and a group of structurally related dyes long used to stain amyloid proteins are known to associate in water solutions. The self-association of some dyes belonging to this group appears particularly strong. In water solutions their molecules are arranged in ribbon-like micellar forms with liquid crystalline properties. These compounds have recently been found to form complexeswith some native proteins in a non-standard way. Gaps formed by the local distribution of β-sheets in proteins probably represent the receptor sites for these dye ligands. They may result from higher structural instability in unfolding conditions, but also may appear as long range cooperative fluctuations generated by ligand binding. Immunoglobulins G were chosen as model binding proteins to check the mechanism of binding of these dyes. The sites of structural changes generated by antigen binding in antibodies, believed to act as a signal propagated to distant parts of the molecule, were assumed to be suitable sites for the complexation of liquid-crystalline dyes. This assumption was confirmed by proving that antibodies engaged in immune complexation really do bind these dyes; as expected, this binding affects their function by significantly enhancing antigen binding and simultaneously inhibiting C1q attachment. Binding of these supramolecular dyes by some other native proteins including serpins and their natural complexes was also shown. The strict dependence of the ligation properties on strong self-assembling and the particular arrangement of dye molecules indicate that supramolecularity is the feature that creates non-standard protein ligands, with potential uses in medicine and experimental science.

Opis:
The self-assembling tendency and protein complexation capability of dyes related to Congo red and also some dyes of different structure were compared to explain the mechanism of Congo red binding and the reason for its specific affinity for β-structure. Complexation with proteins was measured directly and expressed as the number of dye molecules bound to heat-aggregated IgG and to two light chains with different structural stability. Binding of dyes to rabbit antibodies was measured indirectly as the enhancement effect of the dye on immune complex formation. Self-assembling was tested using dynamic light scattering to measure the size of the supramolecular assemblies. In general the results show that the supramolecular form of a dye is the main factor determining its complexation capability. Dyes that in their compact supramolecular organization are ribbon-shaped may adhere to polypeptides of β-conformation due to the architectural compatibility in this unique structural form. The optimal fit in complexation seems to depend on two contradictory factors involving, on the one hand, the compactness of the non-covalently stabilized supramolecular ligand, and the dynamic character producing its plasticity on the other. As a result, the highest protein binding capability is shown by dyes with a moderate self-assembling tendency, while those arranging into either very rigid or very unstable supramolecular entities are less able to bind.

The ability of Congo red to form complexes with α-proteins, human growth hormone and human interferon-α2b, was found by absorption difference spectroscopy. A human growth hormone-Congo red complex was isolated by gel-permeation chromatography, and its visible absorption spectrum was registered in comparison to free dye. The ability of Congo red to induce dimerization of human growth hormone was demonstrated using chemical cross-linking agents 1,3,5-triacryloyl-hexahydro-s-triazine and ethylene glycol bis(succinimidylsuccinate).

Opis:
The article embraces the period from 1997 to the end of year 2006 and focuses on two Congo's presidents at that time - Laurent Desire Kabila and his son Joseph Kabila. The first one overthrew Mobutu Sese Seko the former president and restored the name of the state from Zaire to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). His rule lasted for only four years. He seemed at that time as unprepared to exercise the leadership of so large and unstable African country. Political turmoil and economic collapse were a reason for the assassination attempt on his life. He was shot dead on 16th of January 2001. The power in the DRC was transferred to his son Joseph Kabila. At the beginning he was regarded as young and inexperienced politician. But finally he led to the establishing calm- ness after long civil war in the DRC and he declared the political reforms (among others new Constitution and universal presidential election, first since gaining independence in 1960). He created perspectives of political and economic stability for the DRC.

Circumstantial evidence counts as hard fact in the attempt to understand what infl uenced Joseph Conrad’s works. Twenty-seven years ago Allan Hunter boldly argued that Conrad’s Heart of Darkness was, owing to many similar passages and phrases, strongly infl uenced by Rider Haggard’s She. To date, Hunter’s argument has been left unevaluated. This essay highlights similarities between the two antiheroes Kurtz and Ayesha in order to add circumstantial evidence to Hunter’s stated, but relatively unexplored view. This essay does not attempt to prove a direct infl uence, but hopes to show that engaging with this specifi c question of infl uence is worthwhile.

Opis:
Wolne Państwo Kongo było wytworem postanowień kongresu berlińskiego, który odbył się w latach 1884-1885. Państwo, jako podmiot prawa międzynarodowego, istniało od 1 lipca 1885 do 15 listopada 1908 roku. Jego powstanie było wynikiem kompromisu pomiędzy ambicjami króla Belgii Leopolda II, a interesami mocarstw. Stanowiło prywatną własność Leopolda II. Ten wytwór gry dyplomatycznej, przez niektórych postrzegany był jako próba wdrożenia w życie platońskiej koncepcji państwa idealnego. Od początku budziło ono też ostry sprzeciw i oburzenie, gdyż w rzeczywistości było emanacją ekstremalnej opresyjności ze strony kolonizatora w stosunku do kolonizowanego terytorium. Główne źródło takiego stanu rzeczy tkwiło w przyspieszonym rozwoju nowoczesnej gospodarki wolnorynkowej i związaną z tym procesem ekspansją w skali światowej. W artykule przedstawię w zarysie historię państwa oraz stanowiska jego przeciwników, argumentację i działania jego adwersarzy. Jednym z efektów tych ostatnich była faktyczna aneksja WPK przez Królestwo Belgii w 1908 roku. WPK przekształciło się w klasyczną kolonię o nazwie Kongo Belgijskie.
Congo Free State was created at the Berlin Conference which took place in the years 1884-1885. This state existed from 1 July 1885 to 15 November 1908. Its origin was an outcome of a compromise between the ambitions of Leopold II, King of Belgium, and superpowers interests. The state was the private property of Leopold II and as a product of diplomatic games was regarded by some people as an attempt at implementing Plato’s conception of the ideal state. From the very beginning Congo Free State inspired strong objection and indignation, because in fact it was an emanation of extreme oppression of a colonizing country towards colonized territories. The main source of such a situation lay in the rapid development of free-market economy and its concomitant-worldwide expansion. In this article I will outline history of Congo Free State, as well as arguments and actions of its adversaries. One of the results of these actions was the annexation of Congo Free State by the Kingdom of Belgium in 1908. Congo Free State was then transformed into a classic colony named Belgian Congo.

Opis:
This article consists of two parts. The first part presents the main concepts and facts connected with the development of postcolonial studies as a relatively new academic discipline, while the second part discusses Conrad’s two ‘African’ works, which - containing as they do an implicit critique of colonialism and imperialism - are now seen as being one of the very first ‘postcolonial’ books. Over the last thirty years, postcolonial studies have not only gained the status of an academic discipline, but have become one of the main schools of literary criticism. The postcolonial approach is also critical towards those systems of presenting the world that have existed for decades and have thus come to be regarded as being natural; it undermines their position and shows that they are nothing but ideological discourses which have been created by world empires. To a great extent, postcolonial theory has relied on existing theories for its methodology and terminology. On the one hand it relies on Marxism, while on the other it leans towards poststructuralism and postmodernism. Postcolonial theory also participates in discussions concerning the position of the Other (Spivak). As well as outlining the framework of postcolonial theory, it is important that we define such terms as ‘colonial’ and ‘postcolonial’ literature. In her book entitled Colonial and Postcolonial Fiction (1995), Elleke Boehmer suggests limiting the field of research in order to concentrate on the modern colonial empires that have emerged over the last four or five centuries, laying particular emphasis on the British Empire, as it was here that the greatest textualization of the idea of colonial expansion took place. The terms ‘colonial’ and ‘post-colonial’ are understood differently in The Empire Writes Back (1989), whose authors (Bill Ashcroft, Gareth Griffiths and Helen Tiffin) suggest that the the term ‘post-colonial’ should refer to all cultures affected by imperial expansion - from the beginnings of colonization to the present day - arguing that the expansion of colonial empires in previous centuries exerted a considerable influence on historical processes that have lasted down to our own times. Because these definitions of post(-)colonial literature do not encompass such phenomena as the literatures of multicultural metropolies or literatures going beyond the realm of the English language or beyond the literature of British or French colonialism, critics now often prefer to use expressions such as ‘literature in English’, ‘French-language literature’ or ‘literature of the Caribbean’ (which indicate the language or the region where a given type of literature has emerged) instead of the term ‘postcolonial literature’. Most contemporary scholars see Conrad as being one of the first postcolonial writers - someone who criticized the ruthless colonial expansion of European empires and the concept of the “White Man’s Burden”. The works which attract particular attention are, of course, those which relate to Conrad’s African experience: An Outpost of Progress and the excellent, albeit overexploited novella Heart of Darkness, which - despite its having been mentioned and referred to so many times by postcolonial critics - still evokes a great deal of controversy. In 1975 the Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe famously declared Joseph Conrad to be “a bloody racist”. Since the publication of Achebe’s An image of Africa many scholars have defended the position of Conrad as one of the chief opponents of colonialism, stressing the fictitious nature of Heart of Darkness, its experimental narration and its metaphorical and symbolic character. This controversy has by no means been laid to rest.

Opis:
It would appear that Czesław Miłosz’s Treatise on Morality - one of whose aims was to “stave off despair” - was largely inspired by the writings of Joseph Conrad. That Miłosz had no wish to draw his readers’ attention to this is perfectly understandable, given Conrad’s particularly low standing in the eyes of communist State censors. This long poem, which extols human freedom and pours scorn on socialist realism (together with its ideological premises), is one of Miłosz’s best known works in his native Poland, where it was published in 1948. The Treatise on Morality may well have been inspired by three of Conrad’s essays that were banned in communist Poland: Autocracy and War, A Note on the Polish Problem and The Crime of Partition. Conrad’s writings would appear to have helped Miłosz to diagnose Poland’s political predicament from a historical perspective and to look for a way out of it without losing all hope. An analysis of the Treatise on Morality shows that only by reconstructing the Conradian atmosphere and context - alluded to in the text - can we fully grasp all the levels of the poet’s irony, which culminates in a final “punchline” alluding to Heart of Darkness. Apart from suggestive allusions to the brutal colonization of the Congo, the fate of post-war Poland is also seen through the optic of those of Conrad’s novels that deal with the subject of depraved revolutionaries: Nostromo, The Secret Agent and Under Western Eyes. Conrad’s ideas for ways to fight against bad fortune and despair are suggested not only by his stories Youth and Typhoon - and by his novels The Nigger of the “Narcissus” and Lord Jim - but also and above all by his volume of memoirs entitled A Personal Record, in which he relates his yearning for freedom as the young, tragic victim of a foreign empire. In an article entitled Joseph Conrad in Polish Eyes and published in 1957 - on the hundredth anniversary of Conrad’s birth - Miłosz writes that, through his writings, Conrad fulfilled the hopes of his father (who gave him the name “Konrad”) and that although “the son did not want to assume a burden that had crushed his father, he had nevertheless become the defender of freedom against the blights of autocracy.”

Drought poses one of the most important environmental constraints to plant survival and productivity and by implication-food insecurity in the tropics. Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) has the potential of fertilizing the soil thereby improving agricultural production and ensure green environmental and ecosystem stability. Despite the ability of the plant to improve soil fertility and promote greening environment, it has not attracted adequate awareness as a soil improvement plant. This paper highlights the information on the plant in order to intensify awareness for its widespread adoption to achieve the much desired sustainable resource use for greening our economy and environmental management. The successful widespread adoption of the plant will translate to effective drought, desertification and sustainable climate change mitigation approach in Nigeria.

Opis:
The article takes up the issue of imagining and representing the periphery of Europe in the context of colonial and post-colonial reflection. The analyzed examples are art works that can be treated as transcultural representations. The main concept that has been scrutinized is transculturality as proposed by Wolfgang Welsch, who criticizes the existing concepts of individual cultures, as well as the ideas of multiculturalism and interculturalism. The starting point is the belief of Nicholas Mirzoeff that all cultures are transcultures. Within the field of Visual Culture Studies, the concept of transculturality has been replaced by transculturation and transculture, which are involved in the process of constructing networked cultural identities with a hybrid structure. The notions of transculturation and transculture can also be applied to the works of José Bedia. The evolution of Mirzoeff’s thinking about transculturality proceeds from the affirmation of the position of the Cuban anthropologist Alfonso Ortiz to the transformation of Welsch’s concept. The photographs of Herbert Lang are juxtaposed with the concept of “imperial transculture”, which refers to the scopic regimes of Martin Jay. These connotations also direct us toward the understanding of the concept of “imperialism” of Edward W. Said, who treats the Orient as an artificial construct. In this sense, one example of the operation of the visual regime of colonialization can be provided by the nkisi figures that appear in the works Fetish No. 2 (1988) by Renée Stout and Ta Tele (1988) by Trigo Piula, which can be interpreted in relation to Marcel Mauss’s magic fetishism and Karl Marx’s commodity fetishism. Another example of the operation of the visual regime of colonialization is the necropolitics of the civil war in Rwanda between the Hutu and Tutsi tribes and two more works – Scramble for Africa (2003) by Yinka Shonibare and The Chief: he who sold Africa to the colonists (1997) by Samuel Fosso. The concept of constructing an image of the Kongo peoples presented here is based on the assumption that it is the result of the operation of the discourse created by the European colonizers. This point of view can be also found in the book The Right to Look, where Mirzoeff constructs the definitions of visuality and countervisuality.
Artykuł podejmuje problematykę wyobrażeń i reprezentacji peryferii Europy w kontekście refleksji kolonialnej i postkolonialnej. Analizowanymi przykładami są prace artystyczne, które mogą być traktowane jako reprezentacje transkulturowe. Głównym pojęciem, które zostało poddane rewizji jest transkulturowość w ujęciu proponowanym przez Wolfganga Welscha, który krytykuje istniejące koncepcje izolowanych kultur, a także idee wielokulturowości i in-terkulturowości. Punktem wyjścia jest przekonanie Nicholasa Mirzoeffa, że wszystkie kultury są transkulturami. W obszarze badań nad kulturą wizualną pojęcie transkulturowości zostaje zastąpione przez transkulturację i transkulturę, które uczestniczą w procesach konstruowania sieci tożsamości kulturowych o charakterze hybrydowym. Pojęcia transkulturacji i transkultury można również odnieść do prac artystycznych José Bedii. Ewolucja myśli Mirzoeffa na temat transkulturowości przebiega od afirmacji stanowiska kubańskiego antropologa Alfonso Ortiza do transformacji koncepcji Welscha. Prace fotograficzne Herberta Langa są zestawione z kon-cepcją „imperialnej transkultury”, która odnosi się do reżimów skopicznych Martina Jaya. Przywołane konotacje kierują nas również w stronę rozumienia „imperializmu” Edwarda W. Saida, traktującego Orient jako „sztuczny” wytwór dyskursu kolonialnego. W tym sensie przy-kładem funkcjonowania reżimu skopicznego kolonializmu mogą być figurki nkisi, pojawiające się w pracach Fetish No. 2 (1988) Renée Stout i Ta Tele (1988) Trigo Piula, które mogą być interpretowane w kontekście fetyszyzmu magicznego Marcela Maussa i fetyszyzmu towaro-wego Karola Marksa. Kolejnym przykładem działania wizualnego reżimu kolonializmu jest nekropolityka podczas wojny domowej w Ruandzie między plemionami Hutu i Tutsi i dwie następne prace, Scramble for Africa (2003) Yinka Shonibare i The Chief: he who sold Africa to the colonists (1997) Samuela Fosso. Zaprezentowana koncepcja konstruowania obrazu ludów Kongo opierała się na założeniu, że jest on efektem funkcjonowania dyskursu wytworzonego przez europejskich kolonizatorów. Ten punkt widzenia daje się również odnaleźć w książce The Right to Look, w której Mirzoeff buduje definicje wizualności i kontrwizualności.
