A REVIEW OF THE BOOK: PATRYK WAWRZYŃSKI, PREZYDENT LECH KACZYŃSKI. NARRACJE NIEDOKOŃCZONE [PRESIDENT LECH KACZYNSKI. THE UNFINISHED NARRATIVES], WYDAWNICTWO ADAM MARSZAŁEK, TORUŃ 2012
No full textWith these words of Mark Antony – as a motto – Patrick Wawrzyński could start his book. Published in 2012, the work is titled "President Lech Kaczynski. The unfinished narratives" (Prezydent Lech Kaczyński. Narracje niedokończone), and it is just such an attempt of doing justice to the tragically deceased president of the Republic of Poland. The author has undertaken the task of presenting the views of Lech Kaczynski as they actually were – separating them from incorrect interpretations and opinions attributed by other actors of the Polish political scene: his opponents as well as allies
Election posters of “Citizens’ Committee with Lech Wałęsa” candidates
No full textThe article solves the mystery of the “Citizens’ Committee with Lech Wałęsa” election posters that paved the way to the victory of Solidarity in June 1989. For 25 years the issue of posters has not raised any controversy. The historians presupposed that each member of the Committee had had an election poster with the leader of Solidarity movement on it. The article refutes that myth. Having analyzed historical documents and eyewitness memories, the author uncovers which candidates did not have this kind of poster
Medallions of Huviška as pictorial evidence of pre-Islamic lamellar helmets
No full textIn the current paper the author discusses headgear represented on Kušān medallions showing the bust of King Huviška. Most likely those medallions are depicting pre-Islamic lamellar helmets, well known from for example on the Sasanian, Bīsetūn capital currently held in Ṭāq-e Bostān Museum, Iran. The author will try to compare the presented lamellar constructions with known finds of such helmets of the pre-Islamic er
In memory of Professor Lech Wojtczak, researcher and person
No full textProfessor Lech Wojtczak spent his entire scientific life at the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology PAS, where he worked since 1947. He is the author or co-author of two hundred scientific papers, promoted 15 doctors of science, was the Full Member of PAS and has been awarded with several prizes and honors. Among his students are three successive directors of the Nencki Institute, the authors of the present article. Scientific interests of Professor Lech Wojtczak were always dealing with bioenergectics, a discipline that he led in Poland and Eastern-Central Europe. In particular, his studies focused on the role of fatty acids and their derivatives on bioenergetics, on the regulatory role of surface potential of biomembranes on enzymatic and transport activities, on the regulatory role of calcium and magnesium in mitochondria, on the role of free oxigen radicals in bioenergetics, etc. Apart from being a great scientist, Lech Wojtczak was also a fantastic teacher, and an excellent scientific supervisor. Being well recognized in the world, he was placing members of his research group in foreign laboratories, as well as was sending tchem to courses and conferences. This was opening their minds to the world, and to other cultures, and allowed Lech Wojtczak to form from his collaborators the next generation of good scientists and future leaders. The list of the most important pupils of Professor Wojtczak is given in the article. Lech was also excellent in social contacts, and in creating a friendly atmosphere. Together with his wife Anna, they kept an open home, often inviting collaborators to parties that usually led to long scientific discussions. With the sudden death of Pofessor Lech Wojtczak Polish science suffered a great loss. This eminent researcher, the father of Polish bioenergetics, but also a warm and modest person, will be dearly missed
In one breath (Jednym tchem) performed at the Theatre of the Eighth Day
No full textThis text deals with the 1971 play Jednym tchem (In one breath), performed at the Theatre of the Eighth Day (Teatr Ósmego Dnia) and based on Stanisław Barańczak’s poem. Lech Raczak outlines the methods used in the play, the characters, way of presenting a poetic text and the music in the performance. The author uses fragments of performance records published in his previous book Szaleństwo i metoda. 48 tekstów o teatrze (Madness and method. 48 texts about theatre) (Wydawnictwo Miejskie Posnania, Poznań 2012).<br /
Mysterious helmet from Verden and its “link” with Tibetan helmets
No full textThe article discusses a helmet that was published in 1914 in Zeitschrift für Historische Waffenkunde. It was possibly found by a German farmer during field works near the town of Verden in Lower Saxony. The helmet which was previously associated with the Saxons and dated between Migration Period and the reign of Charlemagne shows clearly relations with far Asian constructions. Additionally I discuss here another helmet in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which seems to be a 20th century reworking that imitated the Verden helmet

Abstract:
Mast cells are one of the best and least understood components of the immune system. They play a crucial role in inflammatory diseases as well as in the promotion of progression of many types of neoplasms. This review covers the most important pathological conditions associated with mast cell activity focusing on inflammatory diseases, e.g. inflammatory bowel disease, chronic pancreatitis, asthma, and mostly on tumor growth and metastases.

A New View on the Possible Reconstruction of the “Famous Clibanarius” Graffito from Dura Europos
No full text[rec.] Lech Witkowski, Psychodynamiki i ich struktura. Studia z humanistyki stosowanej, Wydawnictwo Adam Marszałek, Toruń 2020
No full textAutorka tekstu napisanego w formie artykułu recenzyjnego, prześledziła najważniejsze pojęcia związane z proponowanymi przez Lecha Witkowskiego studiami humanistyki stosowanej. Dotyczą one głównej kategorii versus jako życiodajnej w poszczególnych fazach rozwoju, jego spiralnych splotów, uwikłanych w kryzysy w cyklu życia. Odkrywanie psychodynamik rozwoju, ich stuktur i uwarunkowań stanowi poważne i zajmujące studium dla wielu adresatów: pedagogów, psychologów, socjologów, literaturoznawców, artystów i innych. The author of the text, written in the form of a review article, traced the most important concepts related to the studies of applied humanities proposed by Lech Witkowski. They concern the main category of versus as life-giving in particular stages of development, its spiral tangles, entangled in crises in the life cycle. Discovering the psychodynamics of development, their structures and conditions is a serious and engaging study for many addressees: educators, psychologists, sociologists, literary scholars, artists and others
Bronze mace with three rams' heads from Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford
No full textThe present study brings to light a new Sasanian mace in the Ashmolean Museum
in Oxford, England, acquired in 1971 from the Bomford Collection. The bronze mace head
is in the shape of three ram heads, has an iron shaft, and a bronze pommel in the shape of
a hand holding a ball. The mace incorporates several important decorative motifs – the ram
heads which can be linked to the royal farr and to Central Asian visual language; the pearl
necklace which is another symbol of the royal farr, and the triple dot motif which may have
links to the star Tishtriya, to Apam Napat, or to Buddhist symbolism. In addition to these
elements there is the hand motif, whose meaning is still unknown but might be linked to
Asian symbolic hand gestures. The mace or scepter was an important element of royalty and
of religion in Iran and Central Asia and the example in the Ashmolean museum is
an important addition in the study of Iranian visual language and royal image in the specific
context of Indo-Iranian mutual influence.
In the present authors' opinion, the present mace is likely to date, based on relations
with other objects, from the 5th - 7th Centuries and is likely to originate from Eastern-Iran
or is rooted in Eastern-Iranian artistic traditio
