<i>In vitro</i> clonal micropropagation of selected <i>Malus niedzwetzkyana</i> Dieck forms demonstrating high resilience when introduced into urban environments by A. P. Belanova, Yu. G. Zaytseva, E. M. Lyakh

“…It was shown for M. niedzwetzkyana that the most favorable time for taking its plant material for introduction into in vitro culture is the beginning of the active growth of vegetative shoots after flowering. The most optimal sterilization technique for such plant material was a stepwise regime using alcohol, sodium hypochlorite, and silver nitrate: it provided from 50 to 70% of sterile explants and the maximum percentage of meristem proliferation. …”

Ideea de bine comun și criza sistemelor simbolice de interpretare a lumii în Țiganiada lui Ioan Budai-Deleanu by Mianda Cioba

“…Central to this argument is the idea that the authorial intention is responsible for the work’s unity and semantic coherence, illustrated by the subordination of the first part of the poem, a panoramic view of epic-heroic genres treated in the burlesque key, to the second (chants X–XII) containing an objective debate on the values of civil life and optimal methods of governance. The debate in the eleventh chant is performed under the direct influence of some famous political philosophy texts (due to Aristotle, Marsilius of Padua, Alonso de Madrigal, and Juan Huarte de San Juan), whose direct undistorted echoes are easy to be seen in the way the author develops the concept of common good. …”
