Comparison of ovarian cycles of Hungarian riverine fish species representing different spawning strategies
No full textInvestigations on the ovarian cycle of fish species that inhabit Hungarian rivers are necessitated by both environmental and economic reasons. The objective of our research was to explore new fundamental knowledge concerning the ovarian cycle of the white bream (Blicca bjoerkna, Linnaeus, 1758), barbel (Barbus barbus, Linnaeus, 1758), orfe (Leuciscus idus, Linnaeus, 1758) and nase (Chondrostoma nasus, Linnaeus, 1758). Histological investigation of ovaries and determination of proportions of oocytes in different stages of development is an appropriate method for the description of spawning characteristics of these species. Our results show that the GSI value for all four investigated species starts to increase at the end of summer and reaches its maximum before spawning. In the barbel and white bream, the presence of oocytes in the stage of cortical alveoli and the heterogeneous size of oocytes in the stage of vitellogenesis in the pre-spawning period indicate that barbel and white bream are multiple spawners. In contrast, in the orfe and nase, the absence of oocytes in the stage of cortical alveoli and the homogeneous size of cells in the stage of vitellogenesis indicate that orfe and nase are single spawners

No full textThe post-war displacement of populations, the origin of which is commonly associated with the Yalta Conference, included around six million people on the Polish side alone (in a soulless approximation), which, at the time, constituted nearly a third of the entire population of the country. These figures speak for themselves: it is one of the largest collective experiences of Polish society after World War II and, as such, it should be ascribed a foundational character. In this book, Kinga Siewior assigns herself the task of verifying whether it is also one of the most significant post-war experiences of Polish society and whether it was/is/could be considered in the light of this foundationality. The author is interested in the issue of how post-war migrations of Polish population to the West were represented in recent decades, and how they are portrayed today, as well as what their place and role in the construction of Polish collective identity was considered to be in the past, and how it is seen nowadays. To word it differently: in this book, the author poses the question of whether Polish society can be regarded as a (post)migrational society

Wielkie poruszenie
No full textPowojenne przemieszczenia ludności, których genezę potocznie kojarzy się z konferencją w Jałcie, objęły po samej stronie polskiej – w bezdusznym zaokrągleniu –około sześciu milionów osób, co stanowiło wówczas z grubsza prawie 1/3 ogółu populacji kraju. Liczby owe mówią same za siebie: to jedno z największych zbiorowych doświadczeń społeczeństwa polskiego po II wojnie światowej i jako takiemu należałoby mu przypisywać charakter fundacyjny. Zadaniem, jakie sobie w tej książce stawia Kinga Siewior, jest zaś próba zweryfikowania, czy jest to zarazem jedno z najważniejszych powojennych doświadczeń społeczeństwa polskiego i czy było/jest/mogłoby być rozpatrywane w świetle owej fundacyjności. Interesuje ją to, w jaki sposób przedstawiano powojenne migracje polskiej ludności na zachód na przestrzeni ostatnich kilkudziesięciu lat i jak przedstawia się je dziś oraz jakie miejsce i rolę w konstruowaniu polskiej tożsamości zbiorowej przypisywało się im kiedyś, a jakie przypisuje się obecnie. Ujmując rzecz inaczej: w niniejszej książce autorka pyta, czy polskie społeczeństwo można określić mianem społeczeństwa (post)migracyjnego.The post-war displacement of populations, the origin of which is commonly associated with the Yalta Conference, included around six million people on the Polish side alone (in a soulless approximation), which, at the time, constituted nearly a third of the entire population of the country.

ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Sodium valproate is one of the most important antiepileptic drugs. It can be effective as a preventive treatment for migraine, it has also found use in the maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder and acute mania,it is sometimes used in the treatment of chronic neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia, in the treatment of schizophrenia borderline personality disorder and acquired brain injury, this drug is used off-label. Its overdose can be fatal.
MATERIALS AND METHOD: Patient information was collected from hospital records available in the clinical toxicology department. In addition, we conducted a literature review on sodium valproate treatment, its toxicity, side effects and pharmacokinetics using PubMed.
CASE REPORT: A 57-year-old patient with a history of depressive disorders was admitted to the Clinical Department of Toxicology and Cardiology in Lublin for intentional intoxication with the drug Absenor (sodium valproate). The patient had taken 3 packages of Absenor 500 mg (300 tablets in total) for suicidal purposes. The determined concentration of valproic acid was 841 µg/ml, and the patient's condition was very severe. Despite the treatment administered-multiple attempts at gastric lavage, administration of activated charcoal, performance of hemodialysis procedures, administration of infusion of catecholamines, the patient died on the fifth day of hospitalization.
CONCLUSION: An overdose of sodium valproate can be fatal. Keep this in mind when ordering this drug for patients with a positive history of suicide attempts.
KEY WORDS: drug overdose; sodium valproate; sodium valproate overdose; sodium valproate poisoning; suicid
Self-publishing – zarys najważniejszych problemów
No full textThe aim of the following article is to understand popularity of self-publishing phenomena in Poland. At the very begining author is explaining what is self-publishing, taking as an example three most popular self-publishing portals in Poland (Wydaje.pl, Virtualo and RW2010) and comparing them to the foreign self- -publishing portals. Author is writing about different types of self- -publishing: vanity publishing, subsided publishing, partnership self-publishing, whole self-publishing and self-publishing at the Internet platforms. Next part of the article is entitled discussions about advantages and disadvantages of selfpublishing and reception of this phenomena. Author writes about first self-publishing success (novels by Stephen King) and major, american stars of self -publishing in the effort of seeking polish self publishing success stories. It turnes out, that polish self-publishing market is lacking bestsellers and independent authors. Subsequently changes in publishing circuit are analyzed. Author compares self-publishing to second publishing circuit in Poland (1971–1989). Selfpublishing is described as samizdat without political context, in commercialized version. Theory of long tail (by Chris Anderson) “generation upload” theory (Jeff Gomez), cognitive surplus (Clay Shirky) and economical context of self-publishing (free access to publication) are recalled to understand popularity of independent self-publishing. Next author is analyzing an editor side of self-published e-books trying to compare it with traditional published book. It turned out, that independent authors not always follow editorial standards, but they are trying to follow them. They resign from the editorial freedom in order to use one developed by publishing standards – the aim is being understood by readers. In the last part author is referring to the status of an author in self-publishing, pointing changes (and refer to Roland Barthes, Michael Foucault, Walter Benjamin) – author is becoming the most important part of the communication chain in self-publishing by making decisions and staying in touch with a reader.Celem artykułu jest próba zrozumienia popularności zjawiska self-publishingu w Polsce. Na początku autorka stara się zdefiniować pojęcie, przywołując trzy najpopularniejsze portale self-publishingowe w Polsce oraz porównując je z podobnymi portalami zagranicznymi. Pisze także o różnych rodzajach self-publishingu: vanity publishing, publikacja dotowana, partnership self-publishing, całkowity self-publishing i self-publishing na platformach internetowych. W dalszej części artykułu zostały przywołane dyskusje na temat wad i zalet self-publishingu oraz recepcja zjawiska i omówiono pierwsze sukcesy self-publishingu (powieści Stephena Kinga) i historię self-publishingu w Polsce

ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Despite medical developments, drug poisoning still occurs. Lithium is a drug that has been used for more than 60 years as a mood stabilizer in the treatment and prevention of bipolar disorder, mania and recurrent depression. Lithium is the most commonly prescribed mood stabilizer. It has a narrow therapeutic index. Its target concentration in acute mania should be 0.6-1.5 mEq/L and 0.6-0.8 mEq/L for maintenance therapy. Because of this, there is a risk of lithium intoxication. We would like to present to you the case of a patient with chronic lithium poisoning.
MATERIALS AND METHOD: Patient information was collected from hospital records available in the clinical toxicology department. In addition, we conducted a literature review on lithium treatment, its toxicity, side effects and pharmacokinetics using PubMed.
CASE REPORT: The patient, 58, was referred for lithium poisoning and admitted to the Clinical Toxicology and Cardiology Department in Lublin for treatment. The patient had a previous diagnosis of bipolar affective disorder, hypertension and obesity. According to the history, the patient was admitted to the psychiatric ward due to deterioration of her mental state for a month. She was found to have a high lithium level -2.98 mmol/L and elevated renal function parameters-creatinine 2.13 mg/dl. During treatment with hemodialysis, these parameters returned to normal.
CONCLUSION: It is important to remember that lithium has a narrow therapeutic range. Attention should be paid during lithium treatment to situations that increase the risk of adverse effects and the development of toxicity, and serum lithium concentrations should be monitored during treatment.
KEYWORDS: drug overdose; lithium; lithium overdos
