Prolactin receptor signaling induces acquisition of chemoresistance and reduces clonogenicity in acute myeloid leukemia

Abstract: Abstract Background Development of precision medicine requires the identification of easily detectable and druggable biomarkers. Despite recent targeted drug approvals, prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients needs to be greatly improved, as relapse and refractory disease are still difficult to manage. Thus, new therapeutic approaches are needed. Based on in silico-generated preliminary data and the literature, the role of the prolactin (PRL)-mediated signaling was interrogated in AML. Methods Protein expression and cell viability were determined by flow cytometry. Repopulation capacity was studied in murine xenotransplantation assays. Gene expression was measured by qPCR and luciferase-reporters. SA-β-Gal staining was used as a senescence marker. Results The prolactin receptor (PRLR) was upregulated in AML cells, as compared to their healthy counterpart. The genetic and molecular inhibition of this receptor reduced the colony-forming potential. Disruption of the PRLR signaling, either using a mutant PRL or a dominant-negative isoform of PRLR, reduced the leukemia burden in vivo, in xenotransplantation assays. The expression levels of PRLR directly correlated with resistance to cytarabine. Indeed, acquired cytarabine resistance was accompanied with the induction of PRLR surface expression. The signaling associated to PRLR in AML was mainly mediated by Stat5, in contrast to the residual function of Stat3. In concordance, Stat5 mRNA was significantly overexpressed at mRNA levels in relapse AML samples. A senescence-like phenotype, measured by SA-β-gal staining, was induced upon enforced expression of PRLR in AML cells, partially dependent on ATR. Similar to the previously described chemoresistance-induced senescence in AML, no cell cycle arrest was observed. Additionally, the therapeutic potential of PRLR in AML was genetically validated. Conclusions These results support the role of PRLR as a therapeutic target for AML and the further development of drug discovery programs searching for specific PRLR inhibitors.

Critical Factors Affecting Water and Nitrogen Losses from Sloping Farmland during the Snowmelt Process

Abstract: Water and nitrogen losses from farmland during the snowmelt process play a vital role in water and nitrogen management in cold regions. To explore the mechanisms and factors contributing to water and nitrogen loss from different sloping farmlands during the snowmelt period, field experiments were conducted under two slope treatments (8° and 15°), two soil water content (SWC) treatments, and two snow water equivalent (SWE) (5 mm and 10 mm) treatments in a seasonal freezing agricultural watershed of Northeast China. The results showed that during the snowmelt process, SWE was the most important factor affecting water and nitrogen production through the surface and total runoff of the sloping farmland, followed by the slope. The water and nitrogen yield in the high snow (HS) treatments ranged from 1.76 to 8.15 and 1.65 to 12.62 times higher than those in the low snow (LS) treatments. The generation of nitrogen was advanced compared with that of water induced by the preferential production of nitrogen. A higher slope promoted this preferential production function of nitrogen. Enhanced infiltration combined with the preferential yield of nitrogen resulted in a greatly decreased yield of water and nitrogen in the gentle slope and LS (GS_LS) treatments. These findings are valuable for accurately describing the water and nitrogen cycling in seasonally freezing sloping farmland.

Selection of Design Scheme for an Ultrahigh-Pressure Hydrostatic Extrusion Cylinder

Abstract: In this study, the mechanical models of a multilayer combined extrusion cylinder and a steel-wire-winding extrusion cylinder were established and compared using a finite element simulation and existing experimental cases. This work provides theoretical support for the selection of an ultrahigh-pressure extrusion cylinder. Comparative analysis of an ultrahigh-pressure extrusion structure was carried out. The mathematical optimization model is established based on the mechanical model, and the ultimate bearing capacities of the schemes are compared. Additionally, the winding mode and the number of core layers of the extrusion cylinder are compared and analyzed, which provides a theoretical basis for the parameter design of the steel-wire-winding ultrahigh-pressure extrusion cylinder. This work holds good theoretical significance and practical value for the promotion and application of ultrahigh-pressure hydrostatic extrusion technology.

Prophylactic Absorbable Antibiotic Beads for High-risk, Implant-based Prepectoral Reconstruction

Abstract: Summary:. Infections are problematic in postmastectomy implant-based reconstruction with infection rates as high as 30%. Strategies to reduce the risk of infection have demonstrated various efficacies. A prolonged course of systemic, oral antibiotics has not shown evidence-based benefit. Although absorbable antibiotic beads have been described for orthopedic procedures and pressure wounds, their use has not been well studied during breast reconstruction, particularly for prepectoral implant placement. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the selective use of prophylactic absorbable calcium sulfate antibiotic beads during high-risk implant-based, prepectoral breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Patients who underwent implant-based, prepectoral breast reconstruction between 2019 and 2022 were reviewed. Groups were divided into those who received antibiotic beads and those who did not. Outcome variables included postoperative infection at 90 days. A total of 148 patients (256 implants) were included: 15 patients (31 implants) who received biodegradable antibiotic beads and 133 patients (225 implants) in the control group. Patients who received antibiotic beads were more likely to have a history of infection (66.7%) compared with the control group (0%) (P < 0.01). Surgical site infection occurred in 3.2% of implants in the antibiotic bead group compared with 7.6%, but this did not reach statistical significance. The incidence of infection in high-risk patients who have absorbable antibiotic beads placed during the time of reconstruction seems to be normalized to the control group in this pilot study. We present a novel use of prophylactic absorbable antibiotic beads in prepectoral breast implant reconstruction.

Covid-19 Vaccine Acceptance Among Parents: Are They Willing to Vaccinate Their Children?

Abstract:
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the willingness of parents to allow their children to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and the factors affecting the decision.

Materials and Methods: This study was conducted as a prospective, cross-sectional and descriptive survey study. A survey consisting of questions about the COVID-19 vaccination was conducted with parents.

Results: The study included 592 parents, 180 (30.4%) male, and the mean age was 34.14±7.42 years. There were 257 (43.4%) parents would vaccinate their children. A high level of education of parents (p=0.022), a high monthly income of the family (p=0.006), and male gender (p=0.002) were associated with high willingness to vaccinate their children. Two hundred twenty two parents stated that their decision may change depending on whether the vaccine is of domestic or foreign origin, and 215 (96.85%) of them stated that they would prefer domestic vaccines. The most frequent reasons for vaccine hesitancy or refusal to their children were: fear of possible side effects and it being a foreign vaccine.

Conclusion: The hesitancy or refusal of parents to vaccinate their children with the COVID-19 vaccine is high. Public health authorities should inform the public about the importance of vaccination and domestic vaccine production should be encouraged.

Evolution of the Shadow Effect with Film Thickness and Substrate Conductivity on a Hemispherical Workpiece during Magnetron Sputtering

Abstract: When depositing films on a complex workpiece surface by magnetron sputtering, the shadow effect occurs and causes the columnar structure to tilt toward the substrate owing to the oblique incident angle of the plasma flux, affecting the microstructure and properties of the films. Improving the surface diffusion could alleviate the shadow effect, whereas changing the energy of the deposited particles could improve surface diffusion. Different substrate conductivities could affect the energy of the deposited particles when they reach the substrate. In this study, Si (semiconductor) and SiO2 (insulator) sheets are mounted on the inner surface of a hemispherical workpiece, and Ti films with different thicknesses (adjusted by the deposition time) are deposited on the inner surface of the hemispherical workpiece by direct current magnetron sputtering. The results show that there is a threshold thickness and incident angle before the films are affected by the shadow effect. The threshold could be affected by the film thickness, the incident angle, and the conductivity of the substrate. The threshold would decrease as the film thickness or incidence angle increased or the conductivity of the substrate decreased. When the film thickness or incident angle does not reach the threshold, the film would not be affected by the shadow effect. In addition, the film deposited later would tilt the vertical columnar structure of the film deposited earlier. Owing to the different conductivities, the shadow effect manifest earlier for Ti films deposited on the insulator SiO2 than for films deposited on the semiconductor Si when the film thickness is >500 nm.

Static voltage stability margin prediction considering new energy uncertainty based on graph attention networks and long short‐term memory networks

Abstract: Abstract The existing static voltage stability margin evaluation methods cannot meet the actual demand of current power grid well in terms of calculation speed and accuracy. Thus, this paper proposes a static voltage stability margin prediction method based on a graph attention network (GAT) and a long short‐term memory network (LSTM) to predict the static voltage stability margin of a power system accurately, fast, and effectively, considering new energy uncertainty. First, an innovative machine learning framework named the GAT‐LSTM is designed to extract highly representative power grid operation features considering the spatial‐temporal correlation of the power grid operation. Then, a static voltage stability margin prediction method based on the GAT‐LSTM is developed. Particularly, considering the influence of new energy power uncertainty, two loss functions of certainty and uncertainty are used in the proposed method to predict the voltage stability margin and voltage fluctuation range. Finally, the IEEE39‐bus power system and a practical power system are employed to verify the proposed method. The results show that the computational speed of the proposed method is greatly improved compared to the traditional methods not based on machine learning; the computation results are more accurate and reliable than the existing machine learning methods. Compared with the existing methods, the proposed method has higher scalability and applicability.

Nature of Paleozoic Basement of the Catalan Coastal Ranges (Spain) and Tectonic Setting of the Priorat DOQ Wine Terroir: Evidence from Volcanic and Sedimentary Rocks

Abstract: The Paleozoic volcano-sedimentary rocks within the structural basement of the horst-and-graben system of the Catalan Coastal Ranges (CCR) are composed of black shale, volcaniclastic sediments, lava flows, sills and lithocrystalloclastic tuffs. Paleozoic sediments are depleted in high-field strength elements (HFSE) such as Nb, Ta, Zr, Hf and Ti, suggesting their accumulation within the Andean-type active continental margin environment. Volcanic rocks within the Paleozoic CCR sequence belong to shoshonitic and high-K volcanic series and are enriched in Cs, Rb and Ba and depleted in HFSE, which is consistent with their derivation from metasomatized (possibly through deep recycling of pelagic sediments) subduction-related mantle source. The presence of sills (sill-sediment complex) suggests that Paleozoic basement of the CCR was formed within the rifted active continental margin or an arc-back-arc basin system akin to the modern Western Pacific subduction configuration. This complex volcanic terroir hosts world-class wines of the Priorat DOQ region. The presence of framboidal pyrite and magnetite, siderite, sphalerite xenotime, (La–Ce–Nd)-monazite, zircon and baddeleyite, as well as cuprite, tenorite and cupriferous and native silver in volcanic-derived black shale (and consequently in the world-famous “llicorella” soil overlying it) may have had dramatic effects on wine quality and sensory characteristics. These mineral features, together with strong enrichment of Priorat shale in Au, Ag and, to a lesser extent, Pt could have pronounced effects on (1) rates and specific types of chemical reactions; (2) plant metabolism; (3) response to nutrient components and (4) determination of grape flavor. Volcanic wine terroirs, such as the Priorat DOQ region, are special geologic environments for wine growth, capable of producing unique wine aromatic and gustatory characteristics.

Prezbiter i župna zajednica: poteškoće i perspektive

Abstract: Rad se upravlja ponajprije činjeničnom stanju šarolikog poimanja kako Boga tako vjere i Crkve, što je neizbježna činjenica s kojom se prezbiter susreće i s kojom se mora nositi. On osobno nije 'kriv' za zatečenu situaciju, već mu je prihvatiti da se i pojedinac i crkvena zajednica nalaze u stalnom rastu, padovima i procesu obraćenja. Tako i sam prezbiter, iako ima tu službu, jest istovremeno vjernik pa tako i čovjek sa slabostima s kojima se mora nositi. On i zajednica trebaju se upravo kao takvi prihvatiti i međusobno se podržavati, bez idealiziranja u međusobnim očekivanjima. S druge strane rad naglašava da se sam Bog prvi i stalno brine o svakom čovjeku, pa u tom vidu i kršteniku, naravno i prezbiteru. Zajednica treba biti prostor zapažanja Božje brige i osluškivanja Božjega poziva, poticanje osobnoga odgovora i ulaženja u savez s njim po svetim znakovima. Za osoban odgovor važna je i zajednica.


El libro mágico de Zenofor: la singularidad del "Valerián de Hungría"

Abstract: Entre los motivos relacionados con los grimorios o libros mágicos que abundan en el género de los libros de caballerías, el ejemplo que aparece en el Valerián de Hungría representa una singularidad muy destacable. Se trata del libro del sabio Zenofor, posiblemente el objeto fantástico más original creado por el notario valenciano Dionís Clemente, autor de la obra. El libro de Zenofor reúne elementos maravillosos de diversa índole, relacionados, como resulta pertinente, con el sistema probatorio que deben superar los héroes caballerescos. Ahora bien, el poder más inusitado del libro de Zenofor es la capacidad de reproducir imágenes reales de personas que se encuentran en otros lugares, a modo de una conexión visual, simultánea en el tiempo, entre espacios y dimensiones diferentes. Todo lo cual otorga a este increíble objeto el dominio insospechado de la imagen y la palabra.

Figuration before form, diagrams and form drawing in the work of Louis I. Kahn

Abstract:
Through exploring some of Kahn’s works, the essay aims to demonstrate the deep connection between drawing-diagrams and the realized work, where form materializes through the figuration of its simple patterns.
To clarify this potential for listening, the essay addresses the dimension of drawing in the work of Louis I. Kahn. In his design research, the architect understands and uses the interpretive power of diagrams, which, in the book Louis I. Kahn: Conversations With Students (1998), calls “form drawing”. A thought-form considered fundamental to the Estonian architect, who from the 1960s onward would use this diagrammatic tool as a measure for investigation in defining potential forms of architecture.

Preparing an Effective School Trip: Precision Work

Abstract: To provide a possible interpretation of the passive attitude often exhibited by pupils in the context of school trips, the article does not follow the path of moralistic judgement, but starts from the essence of the teaching profession, which consists in showing the world to the students. The article adopts the thesis of the presence, in many school trips, of an excessive cognitive load and affirms the need to devote the same attention to teaching in these learning contexts as in class work. Graduality is proposed as the key to a learning experience based on a motivation that arises from the discovery of reality.

Visual Programming per l'interfaccia utente di GEOPOI 2.0 in Sogei

Abstract:
Da qualche tempo è  stato  coniato  il  termine  mass customization (personalizzazione di massa) che vuo-le indicare la strategia per la produzione di beni e servizi orientata a soddisfare i bisogni individuali dei Clienti e  contemporaneamente  preservare  l’efficienza  della  pro-duzione  di  massa,  in  termini  di  bassi  costi  di  produzione e prezzi di vendita contenuti. Tradurre in pratica da parte delle imprese tale lodevole strategia non è assolutamente facile. Talvolta le imprese ripiegano su di una più persegui-bile strategia di adaptive customization (personalizzazione adattiva): ovvero l’impresa produce un prodotto standard,che  comunque  ha  in  sé  le  caratteristiche  di  poter  essere personalizzato - generalmente in modo reversibile - direttamente dal Cliente finale (nel caso di produzione di sw un esempio  potrebbe  essere  la  possibilità  di  cambiare in  un prodotto  o  servizio  standard  la  font  e  la dimensione  dei caratteri).

Estructura social de la Universidad de Praga en los siglos XIVy XV

Abstract: RESUMEN: El motivo, por el cual no se ha realizado hasta la fecha un estudio global y completo de la estructura social de la universidad praguense en la primera centuria de su existencia, estriba en la escasez y el carácter excesivamente incompleto de las fuentes preservadas y el escepticismo de ello derivado respecto de la legitimidad de toda clase de conclusiones extraídas de tal investigación. Si bien comparto las dudas sobre la posibilidad de alcanzar un conocimiento exhaustivo de la estratificación y la movilidad de los universitarios praguenses, opino que ello no debería disuadirnos de intentar algunos sondeos —parciales, inevitablemente— a fin de definir mejor los elementos fundamentales de la estructura de la universidad - las facultades, los colegios y las naciones universitarias. Puesto que la universidad praguense del medioevo tardío es, como «universitas», una idea anacrónica o, más bien, un «pium desiderium» de las generaciones de investigadores de los últimos dos siglos, consideramos indispensable respetar la configuración institucional y administrativa de la universidad en aquella época para poder indagar su historia social. El texto se centra, pues, en conjuntos aparentemente heterogéneos, conectados por un solo elemento unificador: su vinculación al «studium genérale» praguense. Estoy convencido que tan sólo el conocimiento pormenorizado de estos conjuntos podrá aportar resultados al estudiarse la universidad en su totalidad.

Przemiany w świadomości religijnej młodzieży polskiej

Abstract: Paralell to socio-political changes, structural transformations currently taking place in Poland are causing rapid re-evaluation in the area of the individual’s culture and awareness. They affect the condition and functioning of the Polish family and thus they may influence the processes of intergenerational transfer of cultural tradition which constitute an essential factor in maintaining the society’s cultural identity. Contemporary changes may also adversely affect the transfer of religiousness across generations. Family, which has so far been a strong agent in the process of transferring religious values, is now exposed to the action of other processes, inter alia an increasing spontaneous secularization. The purpose of the present paper is an attempt to demonstrate the prominent role of family against the background of socio-cultural and socio-moral changes occurring in the Polish society. Moreover, the idea is to show the fundamental role of family as a space of religious upbringing against the backdrop of transformations in the Polish youth’s identity during the time of the crisis of traditional values.

Entre a dor e o texto: traços bíblicos em Horto de Incêndio

Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyse the role of biblical references in Al Berto’s (Alberto Raposo Pidwell Tavares’) last poetry volume, Horto de Incêndio, published in 1997. Previous research on this poetry has identified intertextuality, an interest in corporeality and the problem of the relationship between experience and text as dominant features of this work. Building upon these insights, I demonstrate that the numerous allusions to the Bible, especially evocations of the Apocalypse, in Horto de Incêndio are related to the author’s attempt to textualise the experience of illness and allow us to partially reconstruct his view of the ontology of the literary text.

The non-cognitive skills in international studies: features and critical aspects

Abstract:
Over the years, different definitions have accompanied the evolution of the non-cognitive skills concept. In this essay, we will analyse, in particular, their social-emotional dimension, through the Survey on Social and Emotional Skills (OECD, 2017); the features and critical aspects that have characterized their development and, if is it possible to separate cognitive and non-cognitive skills.

Le non-cognitive skills negli studi internazionali: peculiarità e aspetti critici.

Nel corso degli anni, diverse definizioni hanno accompagnato l’evoluzione del concetto di competenze non cognitive. In questo saggio analizzeremo in particolare: la loro dimensione socio-emotiva, attraverso l’indagine Social and Emotional Skills (OCSE, 2017); le peculiarità e gli aspetti critici che ne hanno caratterizzato lo sviluppo e se è possibile separare le competenze cognitive da quelle non cognitive.

A OPÇÃO PELOS POBRES É OPÇÃO PELA JUSTIÇA, E NÃO É PREFERENCIAL PARA UM REENQUADRAMENTO TEOLÓGICO-SISTEMÁTICO DA OPÇÃO PELOS POBRES

Abstract: Sempre dissemos que a Opção pelos Pobres fundamenta-se em Deus mesmo, no ser de Deus, e tem, portanto, natureza “teocêntrica”: De certa maneira, podemos dizer que Deus mesmo faz opção pelos pobres, Deus “é” opção pelos pobres. Era um consenso universalmente sentido que esta Opção pelos Pobres baseava-se precisamente no Amor-Justiça do Deus bíblico e cristão.

Importância do sentido de vida bem-estar para a saúde mental em adultos

Abstract:
Introdução: Embora exista vasta pesquisa em torno dos conceitos de sentido de vida, bem-estar psicológico e saúde/doença mental, a literatura revela uma quase inexistência de estudos focados na análise destes conceitos quetenham em conta comparações entre adultos em etapas específicas, nomeadamente na etapa da adultez emergente e na meia idade. Objetivos: Pretende-se com esta apresentação proceder à revisão de estudos das variáveis em análise, salientando a sua pertinência e atualidade. No âmbito desta apresentação, visa-se compreender as especificidades deste campo de análise para as duas etapas de desenvolvimento, adultos emergentes e adultos de meia idade. Método: Com base em critérios devidamente delineados, a metodologia adotada é a revisão bibliográfica dos estudos mais relevantes. Resultados: Com base na revisão bibliográfica, foi possível não só analisar a evolução dos conceitos em estudo, mas também perceber as relações existentes entre os mesmos. Foi ainda possível entender o quanto o sentido de vida é estruturante para o ser humano, podendo apresentar-se como muito relevante para etapas de grande mudança como a da adultez emergente. A revisão efetuada
permitiu ainda analisar a evolução do conceito de bem-estar psicológico e saber o que se entende por saúde mental nos dias de hoje. Conclusões: O sentido da vida tem sido positivamente associado à saúde/bem-estar físico/psicológico e à psicopatologia e parece servir como fator mediador na saúde psicológica. Estes três pilares revelam-se como indispensáveis para uma vida saudável e feliz. Finalmente, dado que são escassos os estudos que contrastam etapas da idade adulta que incluam a adultez emergente, concluiu-se pela necessidade de projetos que respondam a esta lacuna, fazendo-se uma proposta de investigação futura.

Miscellanea

Abstract:
[Summary generated by ChatGPT]

Overview:
Babylonia 4/2005 is a miscellanea issue offering a wide range of reflections, research, and classroom practices rather than focusing on a single theme. Key concerns include language policy in Swiss primary schools, integrated language didactics, the role of literature and theatre in language learning, and multilingualism in educational and social contexts.

Key Contributions:
The editorial voices a shared teacher concern: despite technological innovations, teacher training, and didactic reforms (e.g. portfolios, CEFR), many feel language learning outcomes have not significantly improved. It emphasizes the value of teacher collaboration, critical reflection, and staying open to new ideas.

A notable cluster of articles revisits language policy in Swiss primary schools. Cécile Bühlmann critiques the dismantling of Switzerland’s once-promising plurilingual vision and highlights the marginalization of migrant languages. Gianni Ghisla and Simone Forster analyze cantonal votes on language teaching, examining the tensions between English and national languages.

Another focus is the integrated didactics of languages. Susanne Wokusch defines its conceptual foundations, advocating for curriculum coordination across L1, L2, and content-based instruction (CLIL). Rosanna Margonis-Pasinetti explores the feasibility of a single teacher handling three languages. Victoria Béguelin discusses the introduction of new foreign languages at the secondary level.

The issue also features classroom-based innovation:

Andrea Zank shows how crime novels enhance motivation and language practice in German as a Foreign Language (DaF).

Ruth Huber and Michaela Reinhardt present a dynamic workshop based on newspaper theatre, encouraging voice work and critical thinking.

Eddo Rigotti reflects on plurilingualism and cultural unity in Europe.

Kees de Bot presents data on English proficiency among adolescents in seven countries.

Other articles examine Swiss culture in Australian classrooms, interdisciplinary work on Zola, and the potential of podcasts for listening instruction.

Conclusion:
This issue of Babylonia demonstrates the richness of language education through diversity. From language policy to didactic integration, from literature to performance, it captures the complexity of language learning today. Though not built around a single topic, the collection offers a vivid snapshot of the challenges and creativity defining multilingual education in Switzerland and beyond.

Por entre as arestas do inquérito: a circulação de informações na prisão e o interrogatório de Henri Pòmpignac, c. 1476-1477

Abstract: RESUMO A multiplicação da capacidade do poder real de levantar informações por meio de um aparato judicial cada vez mais complexo tornava a guerra da fixação de memórias por escrito bastante desigual na segunda metade do século XV. Os príncipes, por mais que se organizassem por meio de ligas, cartas, selos e promessas, estavam diante de um poder real cada vez mais intrusivo, bem informado por espiões e comissionados, economicamente hegemônico e militarmente muito superior. A despeito do esforço de preservação da honra alto-nobiliárquica e da razoável fidelidade demonstrada pelos fiéis de Nemours, a capacidade de produção de verdade jurídica do inquérito extraordinário era algo profundo. Inquirir, comparar, classificar, coagir, moldar percepções eram, em conjunto, uma poderosa arma do poder real.

Indagine epidemiologica locale dell’eziologia delle infezioni delle vie urinarie (IVU) nosocomiali e comunitarie e dell’antibiotico-sensibilità degli uropatogeni.

Abstract: Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common infectious diseases that can be associated with substantial morbidity. During the last decade, resistance to ampicillin and co-trimoxazole has increased in Escherichia coli, the most common uropathogen, and recent reports have shown increasing resistance even to fluoroquinolones. The aim of this local surveillance study was to determine the distribution of bacterial strains isolated from outpatients and inpatients with UTIs and antibiotic susceptibility patterns to antimicrobial agents currently used in the treatment of pathogens causing these infections. Materials and methods: Between January and March 2006 a total of 1596 urine specimens, 968 from outpatients and 628 from inpatients, respectively, were recovered. Urinary pathogens isolated were 235, identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were performed by Vitek II.The following antimicrobial agents were tested: ampicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, ceftazidime, imipenem, co-trimoxazole, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin and nitrofurantoin. E test® method were used to study the production of extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL). Results:The most frequent pathogen found was Escherichia coli (68.5%), followed by Klebsiella spp. (8.5%), Proteus mirabilis (7.6%), and Enterococcus spp. (6%). E. coli resistance rates less than 10% was observed for ceftazidime, imipenem and nitrofurantoin. In strains isolated from outpatients resistance to ampicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was 37% and 19%, respectively, and resistance to fluoroquinolones was about 20%. Resistance rates of E. coli was significantly higher in complicated nosocomial-acquired infection: ampicillin 53.6%, cotrimossazole 35.7% and ciprofloxacin 33.9%. ESBL producer strains were 7 E.coli (4.3%) and 6 Proteus spp. (33%). Conclusions: This study confirmed that E. coli and other Enterobacteriaceae are the predominant bacterial pathogens envolved in UTIs. Currently, the empirical use of co-trimoxazole and ampicillin is not recommended. Because of the increase in fluoroquinolones resistance among uropathogens patients who can benefit from these antimicrobial agents must be selected. Third-generation cephalosporins still have high sensitivity rates (although the the emergence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing enterobacterial should be taken into account). Urine culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing is the “gold standard” for diagnosis of UTI and selection of appropriate treatment.

Un modèle gravitaire géoéconomique des échanges commerciaux entre les pays de l’U.E., les PECO et les PTM

Abstract: The process of enlargement of the European Union is continuous, involving in 2004 ten Central or Oriental European Countries (PECO), and later some Mediterranean countries (PTM). But the EU still asks important questions: what are the candidate countries which will be included first? What will this process induce on European relationship? How high is the risk that some other countries may be evicted (in terms of trade) due to other countries integration? This paper aims to understand more precisely the global potential trade evolution between actual and future EU included oriental or Mediterranean countries. We try to enhance economical factors and geographical constraints which explain trade levels between (groups of) countries. We first model the trade flows for each aggregate of countries. Then, we simulate and assess the impact of including other (blocs of) countries to the UE model and both EU and PTM aggregates. Our study uses classical gravity modelling (designed by Bergstrand and Festoc) and compute data (obtained from the Chelem database) mainly from 1993 to 1997. We add to the model the foreign investments in each country, the contiguity levels between countries and the distance separating country centres. Our approach includes flow modelling, simulations of integration processes and a comparison of relative economical elasticities between the different models.

CIVIL LIABILITY OF DOCTORS AND THEIR INSURANCE (MALPRACTICE)

Abstract:
Malpractice insurance of medical staff is probably the oldest professional liability insurance underwritten in the insurance market in Romania. The aim of our research is to theoretically examine in a qualitative inquiry the usefulness of insurance completion by the practitioners from the Romanian health system at both state and private, in order to improve a best practice medical insurance. The medical profession is practiced in Romania under the Code of Medical Ethics 30 March 2012 prepared in code that complies with international standards contained in the Geneva Declaration of 1948, as amended by the World Medical Association and the International Code of Medical Ethics. The forms of medical liability are: disciplinary, administrative, civil and criminal and only the civil liability can be taken into insurance because only it meets the conditions of insurability. Once we explain in general and the insurance liability in particular we show articles of the Romanian Civil Code which
establishes the obligation the one that caused an injury to a third person for the repair or indemnify and conditions provided by the Civil Code as an act to be considered liability. Then we refer to situations where the patient may be damaged through the fault of the doctor or the doctor unit operates. The object of malpractice insurance is loss of money that the insured would have to pay a patient whom he caused injury as a result of acts or deeds of negligence committed to, during and in relation to professional activity. Risks taken in the insurance are personal injury, illness or death of the patient and / or moral damages. Regarding the excluded risks we have presented an overview of the more common contracts underwritten by Romanian insurance companies. We show the way of underwriting, the insured sums of the standard insurance and the additional one which subscribes moral damages, to companies in Romania agreed by bodies which organize and supervise the Romanian medical system. The current procedure
for determining the guilt of a doctor and his patient complained of the amount of damages is a long and difficult. The procedure for determining the guilt of a doctor reported by his patient and the amount of compensation is a long and arduous one. In conclusions we have shown that along with the reform and reorganization of the Romanian medical system, the civil liability insurance of the medical staff, the way of contracting, the way of establishing the guilt of the applicant and the amount of compensation need to be reformed.

Le reti di spionaggio e sabotaggio nazifasciste nell’Italia occupata dagli Alleati (1943-1945)

Abstract: The aim of this work is to describe German and Republican Fascists secret services espionage and sabotage networks, their missions and their agents who were sent to the South-Central Italy, between 1943 and 1945, with the goal of obstructing the Allied advance. The two German secret services, namely Abwehr and Sicherheitsdienst, recruited Italian agents (who belonged to the Milizia, the Black Brigades or Borghese’s Decima Mas) to take part in espionage and sabotage operations beyond the Allied lines. Even the fascists themselves, through the newborn SID or other groups like Prince Pignatelli’s or Pucci-Del Massa Office, tried to plan espionage networks but also to prepare the ground for the survival of the fascism after the end of the war.

« L’Italie est faite, il reste à faire l’italien ! »

Abstract: Au lendemain de l’unification politique de la péninsule, les Italiens n’avaient pas une langue commune. Le taux d’analphabètes était très élevé et le pourcentage d’italophones très faible. Face à cette situation dramatique, le Gouvernement italien promut l’action d’une commission ministérielle. A. Manzoni, qui dirigeait ce projet, décida de prendre des mesures visant à stimuler dans les autres régions la diffusion du florentin parlé. À l’encontre de ce projet, culturellement artificiel, le linguiste G.I. Ascoli attaqua l’aspect factice de ce programme linguistique, proposant un modèle de développement spontané et homogène de la langue comme aboutissement naturel de la rencontre des dialectes.


Sztuka jako wyraz afirmacji świata za pośrednictwem ciała. Ujęcie Maurice’a Merleau-Ponty’ego

Abstract:
The main topic of Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s philosophical consideration is the problem of carnality: the status of the human body, understanding (in this context) of consciousness and placing a human being in the background of everlasting conflict concerning the relation between the body and the soul. A man is perceived here as embodied  consciousness and this is the statement which breaks the above mentioned dichotomy.

Marleau Ponty emphasizes the meaning of the human body, which becomes a basic tool of perceiving reality, and the contact with it. Owing to the body, a human being can get to know the universe, make a relationship with it, create. This relation has primary, direct, pre-reflective character.

The body is able to read and process a large variety of relations and meanings present in the world of things. Nevertheless, in perceiving them the body meets barriers which result from physical limitations. There are areas inaccessible for senses, and consequently some aspects of reality remain invisible.

This gap in the access to the world is completed by the art. This is what plays a huge role in experiencing human existence, according to Maurice Marleau Ponty. In his book Eye and Mind he states that painting can show what is invisible, and at the same time complete dynamic and ambiguous structure of Being, which consists of: both a man perceived as emboddied consciousness and all what surround them. Within reality understood in this way there is a constant permeation of levels and areas of interaction, and as a result interpretation and creation of new sense.

“Poetry slam” em Portugal: disputas pós-coloniais

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to discuss and analyze public posts on the social network Facebook that point to xenophobic opinions about the (i)migrant poetry slam scene in Portugal. These posts reflect the post-colonial attitudes of a historically colonizing country, which is currently experiencing a cultural identity crisis that oscillates between Lusotropicalist and Eurocentric ideology, and whose economic, racial and gender discrimination is still present. We will therefore look at poetry slam in Portugal in the light of post-colonial, identity and social disputes.

Effects of molasses and commercial inoculant on silage quality of cultivated nettle (Urtica dioica L.)

Abstract: Cultivated nettle Urtica dioica L., a member of the Urticaceae family, is widely distributed throughout the temperate regions of the world and can be used as a nutritious feed for animals through the winter period. The aim of this research was to determine (i) the nutritional value of freshly cultivated nettle Urtica dioica L. grown in the open field and (ii) the fermentation value of cultivated nettle Urtica dioica L. ensiled with additives, including a commercial inoculant containing bacteria that produce lactic acid and molasses from sugar beet after 60 days of ensiling. Cultivated nettle Urtica dioica L. was ensiled in six treatments: without additions (control); with sugar beet molasses (2, 4, and 6%) per 1 kg of fresh mass and a commercial inoculant (2 and 4 g/t of fresh mass) in five replicates. The results of this research showed that the cultivated nettle Urtica dioica L. contains a large proportion of proteins and some essential minerals, including calcium, and is especially rich in magnesium and iron. Without the addition of sugar beet molasses and without treatment with a commercial inoculant, poorly preserved silage from cultivated nettle was obtained. With 2% molasses, poorly preserved silage was obtained, but with 4 and 6% molasses, well-preserved silage from cultivated nettle was obtained. Based on the results of these studies, it is recommended to use sugar beet molasses during ensiling in a concentration of 4 to 6% of the fresh mass of cultivated nettle. In future research, it would be interesting to test the joint application of commercial inoculants and sugar beet molasses when preparing cultivated nettle Urtica dioica L. for silage on the farm.

Competitiveness of Poland in the export of knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) during EU membership

Abstract: The aim of this article is to assess the competitiveness and specialisation of Polish knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) export during the years 2004–2022. The product mapping method is used, which is based on the values of two indicators, i.e.: the normalised revealed comparative advantage index (NRCA) and the trade balance index (TBI). The study contributes to the academic literature by: (1) identifying the leading exported KIBS as well as KIBS with the potential to gain comparative advantage in Polish exports; (2) examining export competitiveness and specialisation in very narrow KIBS categories for the entire period of Poland's participation in European Single Market; (3) comparing the competitiveness and export specialisation of the KIBS sector in Poland in the EU and non-EU markets. The empirical results demonstrate that some of the KIBS industries in Poland have improved their competitiveness during the period of EU membership, but rather in exports outside the EU than to the EU. This may be due to strong competition in EU market and the fact that distance does not play a significant role in trade in services, especially in case of KIBS delivered online (e.g. computer services). Poland has developed a regional specialisation in the export of accountancy services, which is proved by the highest values of both indicators for this category, compared to other KIBS categories in Poland and compared to other EU countries. On the other hand, computer services appeared to be the leading exported product from the KIBS sector, but only outside the EU. Unfortunately, despite the upward trends, the importance of the leading exported KIBS in Polish exports is still small, especially in EU market. Therefore, it is necessary to take further actions aimed at strengthening the competitiveness of the KIBS sector in Poland, and the support for investments in human capital, digital transformation and R&D is crucial.


Strategie komunikowania buddyjskich związków wyznaniowych w Polsce

Abstract: W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań na temat strategii komunikowania buddyjskich związków wyznaniowych zarejestrowanych w Polsce. Badanie przeprowadzono metodami analizy treści oraz analizy danych zastanych. Wykorzystano założenia etnografii wirtualnej, która ma na celu poznanie i opisanie zachowań ludzi i zjawisk dostępnych w internecie oraz ich efektów. Stwierdzono m.in., że buddyjskie związki wyznaniowe stosują nowe media do realizacji strategii komunikacji. Są one ukierunkowane na: autoprezentację, budowanie relacji między członkami wspólnoty, propagowanie buddyzmu, aksjologizację. Strony internetowe realizują wymienione strategie, zwłaszcza w zakresie autoprezentacji. Profile w mediach społecznościowych służą głównie budowaniu relacji oraz aksjologizacji. Buddyzm w Polsce nie jest zjawiskiem masowym, ale istotnym dla kultury polskiej. Badania w tym zakresie służą więc budowaniu wzajemnego szacunku w warunkach wielokulturowych społeczeństw.


Wadliwa pozycja języka w realizacjach fonemu samogłoskowego /i/ oraz w realizacjach fonemów spółgłoskowych /ɕ, ʑ, ʨ, ʥ, ɲ, j

Abstract: W pracy podjęto zagadnienia itowego układu języka w realizacjach fonemu samogłoskowego /i/, a także fonemów spółgłoskowych, w których realizację wpisany jest itowy układ języka. Omówiono wyniki współczesnych badań logopedycznych nad wybranymi anatomiczno-czynnościowymi uwarunkowaniami wadliwych realizacji fonemów spółgłoskowych /ɕ, ʑ, ʨ, ʥ, ɲ, j/ oraz /i/, a także zjawisko depalatalizacji.


Regiony ideologiczne w Polsce i Niemczech. Zarys procesów długiego trwania

Abstract: Zróżnicowanie regionalne wewnątrz danego państwa może być powodowane czynnikami geopolitycznymi. W niektórych państwach europejskich tworzą się tzw. regiony ideologiczne. W Niemczech takim regionem były Prusy, a w Polsce Kresy Wschodnie. Oba te regiony cechowało peryferyjne położenie i relatywny niedorozwój gospodarczy. Towarzyszyła temu silna pozycja kulturowa, czyli duże znaczenie problematyki regionu ideologicznego w przekazach kulturowych Polski i Niemiec. Analiza procesów długiego trwania pokazuje, że po zjednoczeniu Niemiec dawne tereny pruskie odgrywają rolę zaplecza imigracyjnego dla zachodniej części Niemiec, podobnie jak Prusy w XIX wieku.

Profilaktyka w pracy socjalnej – kontekst Polski

Abstract: Artykuł ma charakter przeglądowy i dotyczy ukazania związków między profilaktyką a pracą socjalną. Oba rodzaje działalności mają wspólną genezę, ponieważ wywodzą się z teorii pedagogiki społecznej. Obecnie rośnie zapotrzebowanie na pomoc społeczną, jak i profilaktykę, która stara się wyprzedzać istniejące fakty i zapobiegać pogłębianiu się zjawisk patologicznych w rodzinach i społecznościach lokalnych. Ważną rolę w pomocy społecznej odgrywa praca socjalna, wykonywana na rzecz poprawy funkcjonowania osób i rodzin w ich naturalnym środowisku. Zawiera ona elementy profilaktyki, poprzedzonej dobrą diagnozą, zaplanowanym i metodycznym oddziaływaniem opartym na kontrakcie z klientem. Zarówno praca socjalna, jak i profilaktyka mają te same podstawy aksjologiczne – najwyższą wartością jest człowiek, który ma prawo do rozwoju, uczestnictwa w życiu społecznym i samostanowienia, pomimo trudności, na jakie napotyka.

Abstract:
Clues to the chronology of Old Germanic loans in Romanian and in other South-East European languages

The present article is directly based on the handout of the talk this author gave at the International Conference on Balkan Linguistics (6-7 May, 2013, Toruń, Nicolaus Copernicus University); therefore the subchapters and paragraphs observe the arrangement of the materials included in that handout. The first part contains a chronological table that reflects mainstream archaeological-historical information regarding the history of military-political actions and achievements of the Old Germanic populations in south-east Europe between the 3rd century BC and the 6th century of our era. Then concrete textual proofs follow, which are chronologically arranged and briefly commented upon. Finally, the author proposes interdisciplinary approaches based mainly on reference of linguistic features to historical stages and evolutions.

Dla kogo i o czym? Muzeum Polin, historiografia Żydów a Żydzi jako „sprawa polska" [For whom and about what? The Polin Museum, Jewish historiography and Jews as a “Polish cause”]

Abstract:
For whom and about what? The Polin Museum, Jewish historiography and Jews as a “Polish cause”

The article presents main threads of the ongoing debate around the permanent exhibition of the Polin Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw. Analyzing differences between two fields of research, Jewish studies and studies on Polish-Jewish relations, the article makes the case that many of the critical voices in this debate stem from a lack of understanding of the differences between these two fields of research; these in their turn arise from the current state of affairs in Poland, and the pressure of nationalism and ethnocentrism, exerted also on Polish historical debates. If the telling of the 1,000 years of the history of Jewish life in Poland were to concentrate on the attitudes of the majority population towards Jews, as the critics seem to suggest, should be the case, the Museum’s narrative would run the risk of falling into a teleological fallacy, whereby all previous events and processes are interpreted as mechanically leading to the Holocaust, and of omitting all of these elements of Jewish history which are not relevant from the perspective of the Holocaust and of antisemitism studies. Making anti-Jewish hatred or the attitudes of the general majority towards Jews into the central axis of Jewish history could deprive Jews of their own historical subjectivity. At the same time, the article points out where and how the narrative of the Polin Museum indeed insufficiently includes the subject of antisemitism as an important factor of Jewish experience and of Jewish history in Poland. Renewing the dialogue between representatives of Jewish studies and Polish-Jewish relations studies is crucial from the standpoint of the current situation in Poland, in which the Polin Museum can be used by various actors in their attempts to build highly biased, politicized and uncritical versions of the history of Poland generally and of Polish attitudes towards the Jews specifically. This kind of understanding between the fields of Jewish studies and Polish-Jewish relations studies and their representatives’ common struggle against such attempts require an understanding of the autonomy of and differences between these two fields of research.

Dla kogo i o czym? Muzeum Polin, historiografia Żydów a Żydzi jako „sprawa polska”

Artykuł ten przedstawia najważniejsze wątki krytycznej debaty wokół treści wystawy stałej Muzeum Historii Żydów Polskich Polin. Analizując różnice między dwoma polami badawczymi – studiami żydowskimi i studiami nad relacjami polsko-żydowskimi – autor broni tezy, że wiele krytycznych głosów w debacie wynika z niezrozumienia różnic między przedmiotem badań tych dwóch pól, po części wynikającego z obecnej sytuacji – panującego nacjonalizmu i etnocentryzmu, wywierających wpływ również na polskie debaty historyczne. Domaganie się od wystawy opowiadającej tysiącletnią historię Żydów na ziemiach polskich, aby koncentrowała się głównie na stosunku społeczeństwa większościowego do Żydów, grozi popełnieniem błędu teleologii, to jest interpretowaniem wcześniejszych wydarzeń i procesów jako nieuchronnie prowadzących do Zagłady, a także pomijaniem wszystkich tych elementów dziejów żydowskich, które z perspektywy Holokaustu i badań nad antysemityzmem nie mają znaczenia. Tego rodzaju postulaty i stojące za nimi metahistoryczne założenia grożą pozbawieniem Żydów roli podmiotów w ich własnej historii. Z drugiej strony autor tekstu wskazuje na elementy narracji wystawy stałej Muzeum Polin, w których rzeczywiście w niedostateczny sposób uwzględniona została problematyka antysemityzmu jako ważnego elementu żydowskiego doświadczenia i kluczowego czynnika dziejów Żydów w Polsce. Przywrócenie rzeczywistego dialogu i komunikacji pomiędzy przedstawicielami studiów żydowskich i badaczami relacji polsko-żydowskich, przy zachowaniu autonomii tych dwóch pól i zrozumieniu różnic pomiędzy nimi, jest też istotne z punktu widzenia niewątpliwych zagrożeń w postaci prób wykorzystania Muzeum Polin w budowie upolitycznionych, bezkrytycznych wizji historii Polski i stosunku Polaków do Żydów.


IS THE J-CURVE EFFECT OBSERVABLE IN TURKISH AGRICULTURAL SECTOR?

Abstract: This paper investigates whether or not the J-curve hypothesis holds in Turkish agricultural sector. The analysis is conducted using the model the most commonly employed in j-curve literature. Based on the data covering the period from 1986: I to 1998: III, our results indicate that, following devaluation, agricultural trade balance initially improves, then worsens, and then improves again. This pattern shows that J-curve effect does not exist in Turkish agricultural sector. Another important fi nding is that devaluation worsens the trade balance of the sector in the long run, a result contradicting with the earlier fi ndings for the Turkish economy as a whole.

Magic prose of Vasilij Belov

Abstract: Vasiliy Belov (1932–2012) belongs to the noticeable representatives of the so called Russian Rural Prose. He started his literary activities as a poet and his strong poetic feelings found their expression in lyrically full prose. His work is constantly and firmly linked with the Northern Vologdian Village and the poet himself is closely connected to natural environment, which is expressed in his books fully and accurately. Belov's life itself is also reflected in his whole work. The world of his prose is highly ethical and moral, poetic and delightful. The value of his works lies in their strong emotional profuseness, in the great artistic strength and in their extremely high moral potential. Vasiliy Belov undoubtedly ranges with the most significant contemporary Russian prose writers.

Aksjologiczne podstawy ładu gospodarczego w kontekście kluczowych wartości

Abstract: Artykuł niniejszy jest poświęcony aksjologicznym podstawom ładu gospodarczego w kontekście kluczowych wartości. Nie ulega wątpliwości, że kształtowanie się gospodarki rynkowej oraz realizacja wolności gospodarczej są istotnymi punktami odniesienia w procesie jego budowania. Pamiętać jednak należy, że klasyczna koncepcja ładu w tym zakresie stanowi nadmierne uproszczenie. Stąd też zasadne jest ujmowanie go w perspektywie idei trójpłaszczyznowego jego urzeczywistniania i identyfikacji podstawowych wartości leżących u jego podstaw. Jako cel podstawowy stawiam sobie uzasadnienie tezy, że problem kształtowania aksjologicznych podstaw ładu gospodarczego postrzegać należy przez pryzmat wartości, które nie biorą swojego uzasadnienia li tylko z pozytywno-prawnej legitymacji (dobro wspólne, godność człowieka), ale również tych, których moc kształtują wartości fundamentalne wyartykułowane w Konstytucji RP oraz zasady z nich wyprowadzone. W tym ostatnim przypadku rzecz dotyczy m.in. innych niż wolność gospodarcza praw i wolności oraz wartości i zasad (pewność prawa, ochrona praw nabytych, ochrona konkurencji, prawość woli prawodawcy i organów stosujących prawo, autorytet państwa i prawa itd.). Rodzi to szereg wyzwań i aksjologicznych dylematów nie tylko natury ekonomicznej, lecz także prawnej i etycznej. Zasadne w związku z tym staje się dokonanie właściwej identyfikacji podstawowych normatywnych filarów i wartości ujmowanych w kontekście obowiązującego prawa oraz potencjalnych zagrożeń dla aksjologicznych fundamentów publicznego prawa gospodarczego. Istotne jest również zwrócenie uwagi na problem inflacji prawa, pewność rozwiązań normatywnych, ochronę praw nabytych i maksymalnie ukształtowanych ekspektatyw, jak i bezpieczeństwo prawne oraz nadmierną relatywizację podstawowych wartości stanowiących o istocie porządku prawnego. W zakresie aksjologicznych aspektów ładu gospodarczego ważną rolę odgrywa budowanie autorytetu państwa i prawa oraz rozwijanie etosu służby publicznej. W artykule wykorzystano metodę dogmatyczną i posiłkowo także inne metody.

Pedagogical modeling of professional activity is used to determine the content of quantitative and qualitative information, which is necessary for modern researchers to further work, and also directs them to the prospects of career growth.

The purpose of the article is to analyse the content of the process of pedagogical projecting of the model of the future specialist. The author established requirements for the training of qualified personnel determine the necessary competences which specialist has to master, his professionally important qualities, necessary in future activity, and also carry out the goal setting of the training process, acquiring the necessary knowledge and skills. It is identified that the competence of future specialists is a set of their competencies, which in turn are classified into key required, without exception to all graduates and professional, appropriate to the particular specialty.

The article reveals the content of constructing a model of the future specialist which allows to solve such problems: a description of the specialist's work in the course of its professional activities; identifying inconsistencies between the content of training and specific professional activities of specialists. Requirements are defined as quality standards to the training of future qualified personnel. The list of basic competencies of the future specialist has been set which include: general cultural, methodological, professionally-oriented. The model of the specialist personality is characterized. Disclosed the content of the process modeling of learning outcomes and the algorithm of its development is determined. The definition of the concept «pedagogical design» was offered to reveal the principles and forms of pedagogical design.

It is established that pedagogical design is one of the most common types of research. It is considered as an alternative to the classroom system in educational institutions. Project technology should be used as a supplement to other forms of direct or indirect learning as a means of accelerated professional growth of the individual.

Szaleństwo i wiara. Próba przekładu

Abstract: Krótki tekst Elżbiety Belenson może być rozumiany jako wgląd w naturę duszy ludzkiej. Autorka opisuje szaleństwo jako szczególny stan duszy i najbardziej tajemniczy oraz niebezpieczny sposób zmierzania w stronę Boga. Jest to także uchwycenie mentalności i sposobu myślenia filozofów i pisarzy porewolucyjnej emigracji rosyjskiej, w którym w przedziwnym związku istnieje grecka mitologia, krytyka pozytywizmu oraz wiara w Miłosierdzie Boże.

Manipulowanie zyskami przez spółki debiutujące na GPW

Abstract:
Badania prowadzone były dla spółek z sektora pozafinansowego dokonujących pierwszych ofert publicznych (initial public offering, IPO), na rynku głównym Giełdy Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie w latach 1998-2013. Celem była odpowiedź na pytanie, czy dla spółek dokonujących pierwotnych emisji akcji w Polsce zaobserwować można zjawisko zarządzania zyskami w okresach okołoemisyjnych.

Badania empiryczne dotyczyły zjawiska kształtowania wyniku typu materiałowego i przeprowadzono je, wykorzystując różnorodne podejścia i kilku modeli estymacji przesunięć międzyokresowych. Podjęto cztery grupy problemów badawczych – badano skłonność do przekraczania zysku zerowego, skłonność do przekraczania rentowności roku poprzedniego, manipulowanie zyskami poprzez dokonywanie nietypowych przesunięć międzyokresowych oraz konsekwencje manipulowania zyskami dla kolejnych okresów sprawozdawczych.

W roku debiutu giełdowego zaobserwowano relatywne zwiększenie poziomu nietypowych przesunięć międzyokresowych (discretionary accruals), czemu towarzyszyło nasilenie skłonności do wykazywania zysku przynajmniej na poziomie roku poprzedniego i skłonności do raportowania dodatniego wyniku finansowego. Konsekwencją nietypowych korekt w roku IPO było osłabienie rentowności w okresie bezpośrednio po debiucie.

We’re not playing against each other. We play together in pursuit of the same goal (…)” – Apprenticeship and works councils in SME in Germany

Abstract:
805,800 persons were recoded as being interested in entering training in Germany in
2017. Of these, just under 65 percent progressed to vocational education and training (VET) within the dual system. A total of two thirds of those in employment in Germany have completed dual VET  (Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training 2018). The fact that more than half of school leavers opt for vocational education and training as part of their educational pathway (Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training 2015) is also a consequence of the high (average) quality of training and of the resultant good prospects of employment. Soskice (1994) argues that one of the important prerequisites for the high level of training quality is the cooperation that takes place between the competent bodies (mostly chambers of crafts, chambers of commerce and industry) on the one side and the works councils and trade unions on the other. This context is widely taken as a given within the relevant literature, especially in the case of the works councils, which are accorded extensive information and participation rights for the purpose of securing quality of training at the company within the scope of the German Labour Management Relations Act (§§ 96–98 Labour Management Relations Act / Betriebsverfassungsgesetz, BetrVG). However, what are the determining factors for a high quality of apprenticeship training? The focuses of this paper are the issue of the understanding of apprenticeship training quality developed by works
councils at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and the way they contribute at company level with regard to apprenticeship training matters.

Gniew człowieka w Księdze Przysłów

Abstract: Artykuł jest poświęcony analizom wypowiedzi Księgi Przysłów na temat gniewu człowieka. Po wstępnym przedstawieniu postawy gniewu człowieka autor ukazał zasadnicze słownictwo w postaci rzeczowników i czasowników, którymi posłużyli się mędrcy Izraela dla oddania tej trudnej rzeczywistości. Następnie w drugiej części artykułu zostały omówione poszczególne sentencje, w których wzmiankowana jest reakcja gniewu. Cechą charakterystyczną Księgi Przysłów jest ukazanie postaw ludzkich paralelnie, stąd każda z sentencji zawiera także sugerowaną postawę, jaką trzeba podjąć, aby nie ulec negatywnej skłonności gniewu i zapalczywości. Częstotliwość podejmowanego zagadnienia, rozmaitość kontekstów społecznych, w jakich się pojawia, oraz wielka troska o pozytywną zmianę gniewnej skłonności w człowieku świadczą o wadze i aktualności tematu.


Journey Through the Borderlands

Abstract: General Lucjan Żeligowski’s dilemmas regarding his national identity reflect the difficult choices faced by millions of people living in the borderlands between Russia and various East-Central European nations over the past several centuries. Born and raised in a Polish-patriotic family in 1865 in the heart of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which was controlled by Tsarist Russia, he joined the Russian Army out of poverty and became almost entirely Russified. Seeking a compromise between his Polish and Russian identities, he became interested in Slavophile ideology. By the end of World War I, his Polish identity had prevailed over his Lithuanian and Russian sentiments, and he contributed to the rebirth of Poland. However, he noticed a distinction between Poles from central Poland and himself, a “Polish” or “Slavic Lithuanian”. He was very critical of Warsaw’s policies towards the regions of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania and endeavoured to preserve their separate character. In 1939, he escaped from Poland and joined the Polish émigré authorities. In the West, he returned to Pan-Slavic ideology, hoping it would help bridge the Polish-Soviet chasm. Also, his political views shifted. In interwar Poland, he became an agrarian, but he was moving to the left, dreaming of a “People’s Poland”. This allowed him to stay connected with the Soviets during World War II and later to decide on his return to communist-controlled Poland. He had never found peace of mind and paid a steep price for his numerous identity crises. He was not alone; millions traversed similar mental paths, impacting the entire history of Eastern and East Central Europe.

Polonizmy leksykalne w gwarach białoruskich na Litwie (rejon orański)

Abstract:
Lexical Borrowings from Polish in Belarusian Dialects of Lithuania (the Varėna District)
The paper discusses lexical borrowings from Polish in Belarusian dialects of the southern part of the Varėna District Municipality in Lithuania. The dialectological material has been collected from members of the oldest generation, living in five villages close to the Belarusian border: Balbutai, Rakai, Kalviai, Kotra, and Paramėlis. The borrowings refer to various aspects of life, e.g. the Catholic Church, the sphere of education, administration, vocabulary connected to Polish landowners, Polish culture and everyday life. It is interesting to note that also Polish numerals could be found in the speech of my interlocutors. Borrowings from Polish were more frequent in the speech of the Catholic part of the populace than among Orthodox informers.

Infrastruktura sportowa dla potrzeb piłki nożnej  w Częstochowie w okresie międzywojennym

Abstract:
W pracy przedstawiono infrastrukturę sportową dla potrzeb piłki nożnej w Częstochowie w latach międzywojennych. Artykuł powstał głównie na podstawie źródeł archiwalnych i prasowych. Przeprowadzone badania wykazały, że w Częstochowie w okresie międzywojennym powstało kilka obiektów sportowych przystosowanych do gry w piłkę nożną. Zarówno ich ilość, jak i jakość
w porównaniu do skali ogólnopolskiej były niewystarczające. Głównymi inwestorami w infrastrukturę sportową były samorządy miejskie, władze państwowe oraz wojsko. Prace społeczne również były ważnym wkładem w budowę obiektów sportowych. Bazę sportową starały się tworzyć również kluby i stowarzyszenia sportowe. W Częstochowie pierwsze miejskie boisko do piłki nożnej zostało udostępnione w 1923 r. w dzielnicy Zawodzie. Reprezentacyjny obiekt sportowy o znaczeniu regionalnym został oddany do użytku na początku lat trzydziestych XX w. Stadion „Ogniska Obrony Niepodległości” im. Marszałka Józefa Piłsudskiego uchodził za jeden z czołowych w województwie kieleckim. Nie mógł on jednak równać się pod względem infrastruktury z najlepszymi obiektami w Polsce. Stadionem o charakterze ogólnopolskim, a także międzynarodowym, mógł być obiekt, który miał powstać przy ul. Olsztyńskiej. Mimo rozpoczętych robót inwestycja nie została dokończona z powodu braku pieniędzy, a także wybuchu II wojny światowej. W latach 1918–1939 w Częstochowie powstało kilka boisk do piłki nożnej. W większości ich gospodarzami były miejscowe kluby sportowe.


Twórczość rysunkowa dziecka w kontekście tworzenia przez nie znaku plastycznego i odkrywania znaczenia

Abstract: Celem artykułu jest zwrócenie uwagi na analizę twórczości plastycznej dziecka w kontekście kształtowania się znaku plastycznego. Twórczość plastyczna dziecka jest jedną z jego pierwszych i podstawowych form komunikowania się niewerbalnego z otoczeniem. Potrzeba rysowania jest naturalną potrzebą ekspresji dziecka określoną jego rozwojem psychofizycznym. Moje aktualne zainteresowania badawcze skupiają się wokół twórczości rysunkowej dziecka w kontekście tworzenia przez nie znaku plastycznego i jego znaczenia. Zagadnienie to jest wynikiem obserwacji i analizy struktury dziecięcego rysunku pod kątem kształtowania się rysunkowego obrazu przedmiotu powiązanego z oddziaływaniem znaku werbalnego. Takie podejście badawcze stwarza nową perspektywę badań twórczości rysunkowej dziecka w aspekcie rozwoju znaków rysunkowych i ich znaczeń oraz procesów komunikowania się.

ANALYSE CONTRASTIVE DE LA TERMINOLOGIE DU DROIT CAMBIAIRE DANS LA LANGUE FRANÇAISE ET POLONAISE

Abstract: L’article aborde la problématique de l’équivalence entre les termes principaux du droit cambiaire dans la langue polonaise et française. D’abord, on présente les origines des effets de commerce et l’évolution du droit cambiaire à partir des temps anciens jusqu’au XXe siècle où les règles relatives à cette branche du droit ont été unifiées au niveau international, dans la convention conclue à Genève le 7 juin 1930. Après, on analyse quelques notions liées aux effets de commerce dans les deux versions linguistiques de la convention pour créer le mini-dictionnaire de quelques termes du droit cambiaire. Puis on compare ces résultats avec les équivalents proposés dans les dictionnaires traditionnels. Le but de cette étude est de vérifier si les dictionnaires sont une source valable pour le traducteur des textes juridiques par rapport au corpus composé des textes de droit international, rédigés dans les plusieurs langues.

Polish research on publishing in Poland between 1945 and 2015: Themes, legacy and implications for further research

Abstract: The history of publishing in Poland encompasses many issues associated with the emergence and dissemination of printed books. Of fundamental significance to the study of these issues are the records of the publishing output: while we have nearly complete, though still underexamined, records of this output for the period from the 15th to the 18th century, documented in bibliographies and catalogues, the situation is worse when it comes to the 19th and 20th centuries, until the outbreak of the Second World War. In this respect, what we need is not only a continuation, but a radical intensification of bibliographic work. This concerns works published in the Latin, Cyrillic, Hebrew and Greek scripts, as well as musical notation. Polish book scholars have devoted a lot of attention to the beginnings of printing in Poland. The historiography concerning various typographic workshops located in the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is rich; however, it still requires further extensive studies. Scholars have also been interested in phenomena influ- encing the content structure of printed publications, such as publishing privileges (in the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth), censorship and restrictions imposed by the partitioning powers and later by Poland’s communist authorities, as a result of which Polish publications had to be printed abroad and an independent publishing movement emerged. The scholars’ research interests have also focused on books as products of printers and publishers and on the publication of written works. Scholars have examined both the various components of the book (title page, printer’s signet, stemmata, etc.) and its editorial composition as a whole. Their undoubted achievements in the studies of the history of publishing in Poland are significant, yet in many areas they need to be continued and expanded (one important task is the edition of sources for the study of the history of Polish publishing) and to investigate the phenomena that stem from developmental tendencies in modern book studies.


Two criticisms of natural theology

Abstract:
The article aims at considering two general criticisms often formulated against the natural theology. First criticism is based on the thesis that the conclusions of the natural theology are not adequate with the religious beliefs of non-philosophers. It is widely known as opposition between God of Religion and God of Philosophers. One can find that argument in the writings of Blaise Pascal. I’m arguing for the thesis, that the natural theologian cannot fulfill the criteria given by the proponents of this argument. This is because the argument of the natural theology cannot contains the premises taken from the Revelation. If the argument of the natural theology would contain the premises taken from the Revelation, then it would be the argument of religion. But philosopher of religion (natural theologian) can’t do this, if he wants to formulate an philosophical argument.

The second criticism is based on the notion of a rational person. In the light of this argument, the natural theology is successful only, if every rational person will accept the conclusion “God exist”. I’m trying to show that there is no philosophical argument that can guarantee it’s acceptance by some rational persons. The acceptance of the conclusion of the argument of the natural theology is a matter of personal decision. There is no logical argument, which can “force” rational persons (rational subjects) to accept it’s conclusion. But if this is true, the arguments for the existence of God are no worse than other philosophical arguments.

Zastosowanie zorientowanej procesowo ontologii w analizie zadłużenia przedsiębiorstwa

Abstract: W artykule przedstawiono podejście ukierunkowane na zintegrowanie wiedzy o procesach gospodarczych w systemach wspomagania decyzji (Decision Suport Systems). Dotyczy to dwóch głównych aspektów systemu, tj. sformalizowania procesów predefiniowanych w modelowaniu procesów (Business Process Modeling Notation) oraz wykorzystania ontologii dziedzinowej w analizie informacji finansowych. Niniejszy projekt wpisuje się w program prac badawczych nad stworzeniem podstaw teoretycznych inteligentnych systemów wspomagania decyzji opartych na wiedzy statycznej (strukturalnej) i proceduralnej. Celem opracowania jest zaproponowanie możliwości zastosowania procesowej ontologii do reprezentacji wiedzy w modelach wspomagania decyzji ukierunkowanych na analizę zadłużenia przedsiębiorstwa. Wiedza systemu opisana w ontologii zawiera podstawowe pojęcia finansowe i relacje związane z procesami podejmowania decyzji finansowych. Metodyka przyjęta w artykule oparta jest na eksperymencie przeprowadzonym na podstawie rzeczywistych danych finansowych pochodzących ze sprawozdań finansowych przedsiębiorstwa budowlanego. Wyniki badań potwierdzają użyteczność ontologii procesowej we wspieraniu procesów podejmowania decyzji ukierunkowanych na wzmocnienie stabilności finansowej przedsiębiorstw.

Information disclosure in corporate social responsibility reports. The case of Lithuanian companies

Abstract: Though the phenomenon of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is closely scrutinized in studies of both Lithuanian and foreign scholars, the problem is the quality of social information disclosed in social re-sponsibility reports. The objective of this article is to analyse the quality of disclosed information in CRS reports of Lithuanian companies. The characteristics of quality of information were comparability, relia-bility, objectivity and sustainability. The research demonstrated that in Lithuania, CSR reports provide unreliable information, which is only partly comparable and objective, however, relatively sustainable.

СТРУКТУРНО-СЕМАНТИЧНИЙ ІНВАРІАНТ МУЗИЧНОГО ТЕКСТУ ЯК ТЕКСТУ КУЛЬТУРИ: ПРАКТИЧНИЙ АСПЕКТ

Abstract: У статті представлено новітні аналітичні алгоритми щодо реального музичного тексту як Тексту культури, що розглядається в ролі його структурно-семантичного інваріанту як засобу комунікації. Методи дослідження – структурно-герменевтичний, моделювання, функціональний. Результати дослідження формулюються на основі доведення того, що конструкти цього інваріанту володіють синергічною природою – тісною взаємодією та наскрізністю вияву. Задля унаочнення цієї взаємодії пропонується модель архітектоніки Світу музики як звукоінтонаційного середовища та мистецтва інтонованого смислу. Це – концентрично розташовані площини, які є рівнями його побудови. А саме: музичні лексеми (осереддя моделі); інтонаційний рельєф тематичного матеріалу; тип композиційно-драматургічної логіки; інваріант жанрової форми; інваріант стилю; історичний тип культури у вимірах «духовної ситуації часу»; історично актуальна світоглядна парадигма; інтонаційний континуум. Наголосимо, що поміж названими конструктами моделі існують взаємозумовлюючі звʼязки, у яких щоразу «просвічує» слід інших конструктів. Тому велике значення має як доцентровий, так і відцентровий рух від осереддя моделі до її замикаючого «поля», який фактично пронизує усю модель ідеєю щодо інтонаційної природи Світу музики в цілому. Практичну доцільність розробленої моделі забезпечено новітніми поняттями та категоріями сучасного систематичного музикознавства зразка «інтонаційна модель» (В. Москаленко), «інтонаційний образ світу» (Ю. Чекан), «типологія композиційно-драматургічного структурування» (Н. Горюхіна), «семантика жанрової форми» (М. Арановський, Т. Симонова); «металогіка стилю» (О. Завʼялова, М. Ярко), «психоаналітичні виміри індивідуального композиторського стилю» (М. Ярко), «національно-культурна ідентичність у матрицях етнічної та національної форм ідентичності» (М. Ярко), «алюзійний спосіб розвитку національного стилю» (М. Ярко), «українська академічна пісня» (Б. Водяний, Т. Задорожна) та ін. Висновкові судження щодо проведеного дослідження та його практичне значення тісно повʼязані з музикознавчою та музично-освітньою практикою: відомості щодо архітектоніки Світу музики та структурно-семантичного інваріанту музичного тексту як Тексту культури здатні забезпечувати високу міру праксеологічного (раціонально-логічного й ефективного) та евристичного (творчого) потенціалу як дослідницької, так і навчально-освітньої практики. Зокрема, перспективи подальших досліджень в обраному напрямі бачаться у звʼязку з проекціями розвитку когнітивної експансії свідомості в намірі глибокого пізнання духовного світу мистецької творчості.
