AB  - This article examines relationships between architecture and ideology in socialist Yugoslavia by exploring the cultural interpretation and appropriation of the Balkan house in achieving modern, specifically Yugoslav architectural expression. Through the contextualization of the period's different narratives on the Ottoman vernacular and various architectural designs related to it, the aim is to demonstrate how Yugoslav architects relied on Marxism to appropriate vernacular architecture into the modernist discourses. Dialectical materialism was used as a key for the interpretation of the opposition between what was seen as the negative and positive elements of the Balkan house, which challenged banal polarization between the traditional and modern and led to a more nuanced understanding of backwardness and progress in vernacular architecture. The idea of architectural metamorphoses of vernacular to modern forms was justified by evolution and revolution, the basic concepts of the Marxist understanding of processes in society and culture. The Yugoslav interest in the Balkan house represented a living, perceivable example of how the relationships between tradition and modernity, the past and the present, as well as men and their environment, became incorporated into new architecture of ‘socialism with a humane face’, which stood at the heart of Yugoslav social and political experiment.

AB  - ALS is characterized by oxidative damage in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid, which is exerted by pro-oxidative activity of iron. Such activity of iron can be drastically increased in the presence of inappropriate iron ligands that catalyze redox cycling of iron, thereby promoting hydroxyl radical generation. The aim of our study was to determine the relative level of inappropriate iron ligands in the cerebrospinal fluid of ALS patients. To determine the levels of inappropriate iron ligands and redox activity of iron in cerebrospinal fluid (10 samples from ALS patients and 10 controls), we applied electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. We have shown that cerebrospinal fluid of ALS patients comprises twofold increased level of inappropriate iron ligands, proportionally increasing iron redox activity and hydroxyl radical production compared to controls. In conclusion, our results strongly support the pro-oxidative/detrimental role of inappropriately chelated iron in ALS pathophysiology. The identification of biomolecules that form such iron complexes and their therapeutic targeting may represent the future of ALS treatment.

AB  - In this era of intense study of free radicals and antioxidants, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) is arguably the best-suited technique for such research, particularly when considering biochemical and biological systems. No attempt was made to cover all the topics of EPR application but instead attention was restricted to two areas that are both novel and received less attention in previous reviews. In the first section, the application of EPR in assessing the oxidative status of various biological systems, using endogenous stabile paramagnetic species, such as the ascorbyl radical, semiquinone, melanin, and oxidized pigments, is addressed. The second section covers the use of EPR in the emerging field of antioxidant development, using EPR spin-trapping and spin-probing techniques. In both sections, in addition to giving an overview of the available literature, examples (mostly from the authors' recent work) are also presented in sufficient detail to illustrate how to explore the full potential of EPR. This review aims at encouraging biologists, chemists and pharmacologists interested in the redox metabolism of living systems, free radical chemistry or antioxidative properties of new drugs and natural products to take advantage of this technique for their investigations.

AB  - We studied the positive health effect of different chocolates (antioxidative effects on stable
free radicals, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and for prevention of lipid peroxidation). The
results show that all chocolates successfully remove •OH radicals, but only chocolates with
high cocoa content are also effective for of •O2
-. The capabilities for chocolate samples to
reduce organic radicals are shown to be positive for hydrophobic DPPH which was not the
case for hydrophilic Tempone. Only the chocolate samples with high cocoa content were
shown to prevent lipid peroxidation induced by Fenton reaction. Obtained results showed
that chocolates have diverse antioxidative effects which are not only dependant on the
content of cocoa. The other chocolate constituents like: sugar, polyphenols, cocoa butter,
emulsifier and other substances should also be considered for determining the positive
health effect of chocolates.

AB  - A total of 20 components were identified in Allium ursinum volatile oil (AUVO) by GC-MS, and 10 of them are found for the first time in this plant species. The antioxidant capacity of AUVO was examined by beta-carotene-linoleic acid bleaching, lipid peroxidation by Fenton reaction, EPR spin-probing assay using stable nitroxide radicals, DPPH., and ABTS(.+) scavenging assays. Reaction mechanism of the volatile oil components with nitroxide radicals, based on IR spectra analysis, is proposed. AUVO demonstrated poor scavenging ability against DPPH, and ABTS(.+) comparing to synthetic antioxidants BHT and trolox, while in beta-carotene-linoleic acid system AUVO showed an effect comparable to those for BHT. AUVO was also capable to scavenge stable nitroxide radicals such as water-soluble Tempone, and 7-DS and 12-DS, incorporated into the liposome membrane. Finally, AUVO increased membrane fluidity, which could be an important feature for further in vivo investigation of some disorders, such as hypertension and atherosclerosis.
