Oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate based hydrogel with intrinsic antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a model of a major wound infecting human pathogen
(2024) Çetinkaya, Ahmet; Kissmann, Ann-Kathrin; Lipinska, Magdalena; Trzaskowska, Marta; Duniec, Jan; Katariya, Hitesh; Slouf, Miroslav; Herberger, Tilmann; Weil, Tanja; Przekora, Agata; Rosenau, Frank; Pietrasik, Joanna; Institute of Polymer and Dye Technology, Lodz University of Technology
Wound dressings represent the first important defense line against potentially life-threatening infections. Successful materials should unify efficiency, simplicity of production with the ease of application. Cationic polymers based on quaternary ammonium salt moieties along the polymer chain promise high efficacy against growth of relevant pathogens including drug-resistant strains. We present a novel and easy-to-handle wound dressing material based on the well-defined copolymers of oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (OEGMA) and 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA), using quaternization with 1,6-dibromohexane for hydrogel formation. The material obtained from this robust approach was perfectly biocompatible with human dermal fibroblasts and revealed an auspicious degree of intrinsic antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa as a model pathogen for hospital-acquired infections. Formation of bacterial biofilms was prevented in early- and late-stages and even planktonic cells were killed upon gel contact. The rheological properties of the hydrogel materials were comprehensively characterized in both dry and swollen states. Excellent biological performance and appropriate viscoelastic properties qualify the hydrogels from our production approach as truly promising novel wound dressing materials with long-lasting and contact-active bactericidal activities. We believe that this charmingly simple procedure and the mechanical properties of the hydrogel may open new avenues towards cost-effective next-generation first-line wound-care materials.

Reconfigurable Interactive Environments for the Future of Work
(2023) Dominiak, Julia; Lodz University of Technology
Inevitable technological progress changes the very nature of work. On the one hand, more and more processes are subject to automation, and cooperating with a robotic workforce becomes an increasing challenge. On the other hand, society is increasingly embracing diversity, and there is an emerging social need to build diverse and inclusive spaces for work. My research attempts to answer these challenges by designing, implementing, and evaluating a novel type of work environment: an Interactive Reconfigurable Environment (IRE) IREs will leverage artificial intelligence techniques to dynamically adapt the physical surfaces around a user to provide an efficient, usable and inclusive interface. An adaptive work environment will support concentration and productivity while ensuring work safety in mixed environments - industrial, semi-automatic, automatic, and, above all, in situations of cooperation between people and autonomous agents.

Balancing the Quality of Public Good within the Dynamics of Urban Form. Experiences from the redevelopment of residential areas in Bulgaria
(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2023) Zlatinova-Pavlova Veneta
The escalating speed of economic and technological development since the beginning of the 21st century is evident in the transformations of urban form and tissue worldwide taking the forms of both land-take and densification. The drivers behind these processes in Bulgaria have been the dynamics of political and economic contexts and the rearrangements of the legal framework since the fall of the Iron curtain. Being one of the most significant changes in spatial planning, the reframed balance between public and private has dominated the redevelopment and restructuring of urban tissue in Bulgaria for the last three decades. This paper relates the quality of public good in residential areas to their morphological characteristics through a diachronic comparative study of the development of two generic forms of residential areas in Bulgaria – the traditional housing neighbourhoods from the first half of the 20th century and the mass housing residential areas, called complexes, from the second half. It reflects on the morphological and structural changes from the perspective of quality of living and public good and evaluates the flexibility and adaptability of the typologies. It finally outlines the key relations between national context and city management that shape the streetscapes of the neighbourhoods.

Discussion on the effect of topographic barrier on the morphology of Chinese mountainous cities: an example of Southwest China
(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2023) Zhuoyuan Sun; Yong Huang
China is a mountainous country and mountains account for 69% of the country’s land area. Therefore, relevant scholars believe that the second half of Chinese development with high quality urbanization is in the mountainous region. Topographic barrier in this mountainous district have been produced unique morphology of mountainous cities which also have negative impacts such as excessive construction costs and information blocking. So we take mountainous cities in south-western region which own the most mountainous cities in China, as the research object to analysis how to achieve high-quality development with mountainous region in China. Firstly, we summarize the types of topographic barrier such as horizontal cutting, vertical limitation and integrated guidance to form four morphological types of mountainous cities including clump, ribbon, radial and group over time by figure-to-bottom relationship and typological analysis. Then this interweaving of natural and artificial built environment forms a generalized spatiotemporal evolution model of mountainous cities. Finally, this evolutionary process has also formed spatial effects of different scales from region, urban and block perspective, respectively. Therefore, this article expects to introduce a Chinese unique mountainous urban space, providing a reference for development of mountainous cities in other countries.

Spatial analysis and protection of traditional villages based on spatial syntax: A case study of Linlue Village of the Dong ethnic group in Sanjiang, Guangxi
(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2023) Zhuo Xingyu; Hu Yushan; Yang Li
After a long period of accumulation of agricultural society, traditional villages have bred unique material space and cultural connotations. As a typical representative of traditional villages, Dong villages have unique geographical location and rich material and cultural characteristics, and their spatial protection and cultural inheritance have far-reaching significance and value. Affected by the current urbanization construction, traditional villages have suffered different degrees of destruction. As a representation of the social culture of the village, the protection of the material space greatly affects the development and inheritance of the village. In this paper, spatial syntax is used to quantitatively analyse the spatial morphology of Linlue Village from the aspects of village integration, connection value, control value, and comprehensibility, and summarize the characteristics of its spatial form and the internal spatial characteristics of village buildings. It is concluded that its spatial development lacks planning and capital intervention is excessive and it is necessary to balance the contradiction between social development and physical space through systematic planning from space to management. Through the analysis of the village space, the article provides a reasonable spatial optimization plan in order to better protect the material space of the village and better inherit the traditional culture.
