‘O breves et infaustos populi favores’. The Controversies Surrounding Lieutenant Władysław Gorzeński during the Civil War in Poland-Lithuania (1715–1716)
No full textOn 1st October 1715 Władysław Gorzeński became the first marshal of the soldiers’ union which began to fight against the Saxon forces of King Augustus II on Polish-Lithuanian territory, thereby unleashing a civil war between the monarch, supported by various officials, and the Polish-Lithuanian army alongside the masses of civilian nobility, united under the Tarnogród Confederation. Gorzeński is considered to be a man with numerous controversies surrounding his actions at that time. As a low-ranking officer whose career to that point had not been particularly eventful or scintillating, he surprisingly managed to take control over his unit from his superior – the historical sources known to us describe that entire situation as, at the very least, confusing. Later, as he was leading his forces against the Saxon, he displayed serious incompetence which led to various accusations of intentional sabotage and eventually almost made him a victim to a lynch mob. Having given up his command in the union after a mere two months, he was forced to seek protection among those who had recently been enemies. The purpose of the article is to discuss contemporary opinions, according to which Gorzeński was indeed an agent of the Saxons and a provocateur supposed to trigger the civil conflict into escalation and compare them with facts and sources which bring up a quite different picture of the person in question – a victim of a slander and anti-Saxon paranoia the most of the Confederation was succumbing to at the time

A Pilot Randomized Crossover Study on Stress Responses in Paramedicine Students: Virtual Reality Versus Live Simulation
No full textIntroduction: Emergency Medical Workers frequently encounter high-stress situations, such as traffic accidents and sudden deaths, which can negatively affect their mental health. Building psychological resilience through training is essential, and recent methods like virtual reality (VR) gamification have been introduced to improve learning outcomes. Aim: This pilot randomized crossover study aims to compare the stress responses of thirdyear Paramedicine students during a severe traffic accident scenario using either a live actor simulation or a VR-based platform (XVR simulation). Methods: Ten third-year Paramedicine students were randomly assigned to start with either a live actor simulation or a virtual reality scenario using the XVR program. After completing the first scenario, participants underwent a 7 -10 day washout period before switching to the alternate scenario. Physiological stress markers, including salivary cortisol, testosterone, and heart rate variability (HRV), were measured before and after each scenario. Subjective stress was assessed using a ten-point visual analog scale (VAS). Results: No significant differences were observed in cortisol concentration changes (p = 0.576), testosterone levels (p = 0.878), or HRV (p = 0.156) between the virtual reality and live actor simulations. However, students perceived the live actor scenario as more stressful than the virtual reality simulation (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Both virtual reality and live simulations effectively recreate high-stress scenarios, but students reported higher stress during live actor simulations. These results indicate that VR could be a viable and cost-effective alternative for training Paramedicine students. Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings and assess the long-term impact of VR training on stress adaptationIntroduction: Emergency Medical Workers frequently encounter high-stress situations, such as traffic accidents and sudden deaths, which can negatively affect their mental health.

“Black Mary”? Mary Countess Coudenhove-Taaffe’s charity work during the First World War
No full text
The subject of this case study is an analysis of the charitable activities of Mary Countess Coudenhove, née Taaffe, during World War I. From her position as the wife of the Governor of Bohemia, she entered the public sphere as a protector of charitable events, a supporter of institutions caring for wounded soldiers and orphaned children (especially war orphans), an initiator of her own charitable projects, and an intercessor for third parties, in addition to working as a nurse in one of Prague’s Red Cross reserve hospitals. The scope and reach of her charitable activities, which were partly official, were exceptional in many respects. During World War I, she was undoubtedly one of the best-known personalities of Prague’s charitable society. In her public activities she acted as a supporter of the Habsburg dynasty and in the eyes of society she was regarded, like her husband, as one of the symbols of the monarchy and its elites. The Countess was forced to face hostile attacks, and shortly after the declaration of an independent Czechoslovakia she was interned with her husband and sister and accused of stealing Red Cross property. These accusations were never proved
