    Abstract Working with complex, high-level MOEA meta-models such as Multiobjec-tive Optimization Hierarchic Genetic Strategy (MO-mHGS) with multi-deme support usually requires dedicated implementation and configuration for each internal (single-deme) algorithm variant. If we generalize meta-model, we can simplify whole simulation process and bind any internal algorithm (we denote it as a driver), without providing redundant meta-model implementations. This idea has become a fundamental of Evogil platform. Our aim was to allow construct-ing custom hybrid models or combine existing solutions in runtime simulation environment. We define hybrid solution as a composition of a meta-model and a driver (or multiple drivers). Meta-model uses drivers to perform evolutionary calculations and process their results. Moreover, Evogil provides set of ready-made solutions divided into two groups (multi-deme meta-models and single-deme drivers), as well as processing tools (quality metrics, statistics and plotting scripts), simulation management and results persistence layer.

    Abstract The level of activity of the customers on the banking market is one of the measurements of demand for financial services. It allows one to better understand the changes on the banking market. The objective of this paper is to identify and evaluate the changes in the level of activity of bank customers in the segment of cooperative banks. The analysis includes the level of activity of the individual customers as well as entrepreneurs on the deposit and credit markets in the years 1994-2014. The analyses used the Census X-11 method as well as the Fast Fourier Transform analysis. The level of activity of the customers of cooperative banks undergoes periodic fluctuations. The cycle and intensity of these fluctuations is different for the deposit and for credit markets. The deposit market is dominated by the periodical cycles and the credit market by seasonality. Accidental factors play a surprisingly high role in the changes of the activity levels of the cooperative bank customers.

    Abstract The survival of erythrocytes in the circulating blood depends on their membranes' structural and functional integrity. One of the mechanisms that may underlie the process of joint degeneration is the imbalance of prooxidants and antioxidants, promoting cellular oxidative stress. The study is aimed at observing the effects of the 21-day general rehabilitation program on the erythrocytes redox status and serum ST2 marker in patients after knee or hip replacement in the course of osteoarthritis. Erythrocytes and serum samples were collected from 36 patients. We analyzed the selected markers of the antioxidant system in the erythrocytes: catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (glutathione disulfide reductase (GR, GSR)), total superoxide dismutase activity (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione transferase (GST) activity, and cholesterol and lipofuscin (LPS) concentration. In serum, we analyzed the concentration of the suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) marker. After the 21-day general rehabilitation program, the total SOD and GPx activity, measured in the hemolysates, significantly increased (

    Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most frequent worldwide cause of adult population disabilities. The study evaluated the effects of a 21-day individual rehabilitation exercise training program focused on improving patients' functional capacity. The study analyzed the changes in irisin, chemerin, and BDNF serum levels in 36 OA patients subjected to an individually-adjusted rehabilitation program 90 days after surgical hip or knee replacement. The changes in irisin, chemerin, and BDNF serum levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. A 21-day individual rehabilitation exercise training program significantly increased irisin and BDNF, and decreased chemerin serum levels. The presented study indicates that individually-adjusted exercise training is an important modulator influencing serum levels of anti- and pro-inflammatory factors, leading to positive clinical outcomes in osteoarthritis therapy. Selected factors are considered potential markers of various pathophysiological conditions. The presented study brings new details to the discussion.

    Abstract Hierarchical Genetic Strategy (HGS) is a general-purpose optimization metaheuristic based on multi-deme evolutionary-like optimization, while demes are parts of adaptive dynamically changing tree. The paper focuses on adaptation of the classic HGS algorithm for multi-criteria optimization problems, coupling the HGS with Particle Swarm Optimization demes. The main contribution of the paper is showing the efficacy and efficiency of the actor-based implementation of this metaheuristic algorithm.

    Abstract The paper presents results of a research of purchase habits of Polish consumers, concerning years 1992, 1995, 1997-2007. It describes changes of consumer preferences and behavioural trends. Polish consumers’ purchase behaviour has been changing and they become similar to the European standards. With relation to the evaluation of economic potential of households some transformations of the goods purchase process as well as changes in consumer purchase opinions and preferences were recognized. / Synopsis.

    Abstract Imbalance in prooxidant-antioxidant equilibrium plays an important role in the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Postoperative rehabilitation significantly improves the functional activity of patients with OA. We aimed to assess the effect of the general 21-day postoperative rehabilitation on the oxidative stress markers in patients after total hip arthroplasty or knee replacement. Patients (n =41) started individually designed postoperative rehabilitation ca. 90 days after endoprosthesis implantation. We used the six-minute walk test (6MWT) to quantify the changes in their exercise capacity. We analyzed the oxidative stress markers: total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total superoxide dismutase (SOD), Cu-Zn-superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) and ceruloplasmin (Cp) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) and lipofuscin (LPS) concentration in patients serum to asses changes in the oxidative stress intensity. We found that after 21-days postoperative rehabilitation program: the average distance walked by patients increased by 69 m; TAC increased by 0.20 ± 0.14 mmol/l; both SOD isoforms activities increased by 1.6 (±1.7) and 1.72 (±1.5) NU/ml, respectively; but Cp activity decreased by 1.8 (0.7-3.7) mg/dl. Also, we observed lower concentrations of lipid peroxidation markers: by 19.6 ± 24.4

    Abstract Obesity and high-fat diet (HF) are prevalent causes of oxidative stress (OS). Duodenal-jejunal omega switch (DJOS) is a bariatric procedure used for body mass reduction, extensively tested in animal models. We studied the long-term impact of bariatric surgery and an HF diet on the oxidative stress markers in erythrocytes and heart muscles of rats. We analyzed superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration in DJOS or SHAM (control) operated rats fed with different dietary protocols (control diet (CD) and high-fat diet (HF)), before and after the surgery (CD/CD, HF/HF, CD/HF, and HF/CD). We observed higher erythrocytes CAT, GST and GPx activity in DJOS-operated (vs. SHAM) rats fed with an HF/HF diet. For DJOS-operated rats, erythrocytes CAT and GPx activity and MDA concentration were significantly lower in CD/CD group. We observed increased heart muscle GR activity in SHAM-operated rats (vs. DJOS bariatric surgery) fed with an HF/HF diet. Change from HF to CD diet increased heart muscle GPx activity after DJOS bariatric surgery. Heart muscle SOD activity was lower in HF/HF and CD/CD groups after DJOS bariatric surgery (vs. SHAM). DJOS surgery significantly reduced heart muscle MDA concentration in HF/HF and HF/CD groups (vs. SHAM). We conclude that the selected dietary patterns had a stronger impact on oxidative stress markers in erythrocytes and heart muscle than DJOS bariatric surgery.
