Sommario/riassunto

This well-structured textbook offers essential knowledge on the vascular system. The reader will learn the properties, basic cellular mechanisms and development of the different parts of the vascular system (including the heart), gain knowledge on vascular and related diseases, and will be made familiar with common and most current methods and techniques applied to analyze the vascular system in patients, in animal models, and ex vivo. This book is based on a PhD Course for students from various bioscientific backgrounds given at the Medical University of Vienna, and it will be a valuable resource for Master´s Students in vascular biology and biomedicine in general and a helpful tool for young researchers world-wide wishing to gain or refresh their knowledge in this field.

Sommario/riassunto

The costs and availability of electricity are the basic factor determining the dynamics of the development of economies and the improvement of living conditions of societies. This factor determines the level of



industry competitiveness and the quality of life of residents. The study presents the main reasons for the increase in electricity prices in Poland. In addition to the most frequently cited reasons, i.e. an increase in coal prices and CO2 emission allowance prices, they also include low competition on the electricity market, which is mainly the result of increased market concentration, decreasing dynamics of energy supplier switching, and low import of electricity. The main economic and social effects of the increase in electricity prices in Poland were identified. They include energy poverty, which in Poland has been the subject of systematic research for only a few years. These effects also include a decrease in industry competitiveness and a slowdown in the country's economic development as well as an increase in prices of consumer goods and services, and consequently an increase in inflation. The study identifies the main actions that can be taken by both the state, its regulatory and control bodies, as well as by participants of the electricity market to keep prices of this energy as low as possible. These actions were evaluated for their effectiveness.
