VI.5 - Participation in conducting (leading) the most important research projects or art projects over the last six years
1

Project VEGA1 / 0173/20: Iron and other biogenic elements in the CNS as markers of exposure to electromagnetic fields. The main subject of research is the evaluation of the non - thermal effects of EMP on experimental animals (rabbit, rat), accumulation of iron (ferritin) as well as other biogenic elements in the CNS and other organs examined by Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS). Measurement of the amount and distribution of non-heme iron in the body will allow a better understanding of the EMF biological effects and may also be important for understanding the emergence and treatment of the neurodegenerative diseases of a brain and spinal cord. Principal investigator. In Slovak.

Project APVV-23-0162: Safe intersections of cycling communications with overhead electric lines. The project concentrates on non-thermal biological effects of the grid frequency electromagnetic field (EMF) generated in vicinity of extra high voltage electric overhead lines. The non-thermal short-term effects of EMF with elevated quantities are connected to reversible changes on excitable cells, electric charge effects at the skin surface, heart rate variation or a stimulation of nerves and muscles experienced as a tingling sensation. Cyclists crossing high voltage electric overhead lines usually undergo the risk of electroshock, which might lead to the loss of concentration or acute paralysis and secondary serious injuries. Development of a methodology for assessment of the intersections of cycling communications with extra high voltage electric overhead lines is the main project objective together with a setup of applicable and effective measures for minimization of associated health risks. Knowledge base gained through the project research activities is the key stone to reach the objective. It is supposed that the results gained within the project can be potentially applicable in the policy processes in this field. Investigator (administrator for JFMED). In Slovak.

Project KEGA 057UK-4/2021: Preparation of university textbook in english language for medical Biophysics with innovation of teaching processes for distance education using e-learning. The presented project is focused on updating the educational texts of theoretical and practical section of the mandatory subject Medical Biophysics of the first-year students at the Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Engineering of both Medical and Non-medical faculties. In order to improve the educational process, it is necessary to issue new university textbook for foreign students in program general medicine in English, which would reflect the modern practical tasks and completely include the necessary curriculum. The updated textbook will also include the implementation of interactive content and e-learning processes applicable during the standard as well as distance learning process upon the emergency situations. Principal investigator. In Slovak.

Project APVV-19-0214: BiocompatibiLity and objectIfication of the grid Frequency Electromagnetic field in densely populated areas. Implementation of this multidisciplinary project expressively contributes to the realisation of the EU policies at national level. The activities are focused on: 1) objectification of the 50 Hz EM background levels in select, densely populated areas, also extending beyond the designated protection zones; 2) a qualitative and quantitative analysis of potential bio-effects of grid frequency EM field and 3) suggestion of effective preventive measures for decreasing the effects. The main project outcome is a unique web portal that will provide information pertaining to the levels of artificial EM low-frequency background in selected densely populated areas, to the related potential health risks and recommendations for appropriate preventive measures. Investigator (administrator for JFMED). In Slovak.

Project VEGA 1/0275/19: Coordination of respiratory tract defense mechanisms and cardiorespiratory functions in experimental animals. Results of the project will significantly improve our knowledge of regulatory mechanisms of cardiovascular and respiratory system, respiratory tract defensive reflexes with their activation through peripheral inputs as well as with modified functions of central brainstem structures. Stimulations and changes in afferent activities and reflex responses, including their modifications, will allow us to analyse their interactions when altered, e.g. under pathological conditions. We assume the application of different stimulation and signal reduction modalities in afferent pathways. Investigator. In Slovak.
