Poetry ars divina: Musaeus’ Prophetic Oration in the Epic Poem Radivilias by Jan Radwan
No full textHeroic epic poem entitled Radivilias sive de vita et moribus praeclarissime gestis immortalis memoriae illustrissimi principis Nicolai Radivili … libri quattuor, by Jan Radwan, was published in Vilnius in 1592.
The historical narration about the chief events connected with the Livonian War (1558-1582) when Poland and the Great Duchy of Lithuania were struggling against Ivan, the Terrible serves as a setting for a panegyric portrait of the main hero of the poem, Mikołaj Radziwiłł, the Red and his heroic deeds.
The author of Radivilias takes Radziwiłł to Helicon, place sacred to a succession of poetic memories, where he meets Musaeus. This part of the poem resembles Cicero’s Dream of Scipio, but we can see an essential difference between these two texts (Cicero - dream, dead ancestors, rational justification, Radwan - mythological motif, legendary poet Musaeus and poetry as a source of wisdom). Radwan is very realistic. He does not dream about return of the Golden Age, but emphasises the fragility of earthly glory and concentrates his attention upon the only true life - the life after death.
This article aims at discussing Radwan’s conception of the function of the Musaeus’ prophecy in the whole context of the poem. The attention is being given also to a prohetic significance of poetry
Alternative Lime Based Grouts Used in Re-pointing of Deteriorated Ancient Mortars and their Structural Effects on Composite Unreinforced Masonry Walls of Mekaad Radwan, Ottoman Cairo, Egypt (Case Study)
No full textAbstractMortars and plasters of Mekaad Radwan are badly affected by decay hazards, therefore; they were studied by means of XRD and polarized microscope to detect their chemical composition, physical and petrographic properties, in addition to identify their characteristics. The analyses revealed gypsum mixed with lime as dominant component with some aggregates of sand particles, sodium chloride was detected in all the studied samples. Standardized alternative mortars were prepared, exposed to artificial aging and tested in order to select the most suitable type to replace the old mortars and plasters at Mekaad Radwan
Geognostic Investigation on Damage and Deterioration Evolution of Soil and Architectural Materials of Mekaad Radwan, Ottoman Cairo, Egypt (Case Study)
No full textAbstractThis study determines which factors play roles of deterioration in Mekaad Radwan. The study also makes it possible to know the real response of the masonry structure to the deformation imposed at the base of the foundation condition. The used methodology included the identification of the seismicity situation and the possible damage effects of the Cairo (1992) earthquake through discussion of situation before and after earthquake as well as the controlling factors, in addition to the analysis and determination of the types, geometry of the types, deformation and other deterioration patterns, using the direct observation and primitive monitoring evaluation
Marian Radwan, Ecclesiastica w Rosyjskim Państwowym Archiwum Historycznym w Sankt Petersburgu : recenzija
No full textRecenzuojama knyga skirta ne plačiajai skaitytojų auditorijai, bet neabejotinai verta Lietuvos istorikų, tyrinėjančių Lietuvos Bažnyčios istorijos bei XIX–XX a. religinio gyvenimo peripetijas, dėmesio. Rusijos valstybiniame istorijos archyve (RVIA) Sankt Peterburge didelį darbą atlikusio lenkų profesoriaus Mariano Radwano veiklą vainikuoja naujas žinynas, kuriame pristatomi RVIA esantys vadinamieji bažnytiniai fondai. Žinyne apsiribojama katalikų ir unitų Bažnyčių istoriją atskleidžiančiais archyviniais šaltiniais. Įvadiniame straipsnyje autorius trumpai aptaria katalikų ir unitų istorijai svarbius RVIA fondus, pateikia apie juos glaustus duomenis ir pagrindinius skaičius, pristato žinyno sudarymo principus. Dėmesį sutelkęs ties dviem Bažnyčiomis – katalikų ir unitų, autorius žinyne pagrįstai išskiria du stambius skyrius: Romos katalikų Bažnyčios archyvai ir Graikų katalikų Bažnyčios archyvai, kiekviename jų pateikdamas atskirus teminius blokus pagal fondus. Daugiausia teminių blokų autorius išskyrė Kitatikių dvasinių reikalų departamento fonde. Pavadinimai įvardija dokumentų turinį, o išdėstymas pagal abėcėlę palengvina paiešką. Tarp baigiamųjų įvadinio straipsnio eilučių galima įskaityti, kad RVIA vadovybės palaikymo žinyno autorius neturėjo. Turint tai omenyje, žinynas įgauna dar ir kitą vertę, tapdamas vaizdžiu dabartinės katalikų Bažnyčios situacijos sparčiai sekuliarėjančiam pasauly istorijos faktu. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Ekleziastika; Ekleziologija; Katalikų ir unitų Bažnyčios dokumentai; M. Radwan; RVIA; Sankt Peterburgo valstybinis istorinis archyvas; Documents Catholic and Uniate Churches; Ecclesiastica; Ecclesiology; M. Radwan; Russian state archive; State Historical Archives of St. PetersburgThe reviewed book is not targeted at a wide audience, but is definitely worth the attention of Lithuanian historians who investigate the peripaetia of the history of the Lithuanian Church and the religious life in the 19th–20th c. The activities of Polish Professor Marian Radwan, who did a huge work in the Russian State Historical Archive (RSHA) in Saint Petersburg, have been crowned by a new directory which presents the church stocks kept at the RSHA. The directory is limited to the archival sources revealing the history of the Catholic and Uniate Churches. The introductory article briefly discusses the RSHA stocks relevant to the history of Catholics and Uniates, gives concise data and key figures and presents the principles of the structure of the directory. Focusing on two Churches – Catholic and Uniate – the author reasonably distinguishes two large chapters: the archives of the Roman Catholic Church and the archives of the Greek Catholic Church. Each chapter contains thematic units according to the stocks. The stocks of the Department for Spiritual Affairs of Foreign Confessions have the biggest number of thematic units. The titles name the content of documents and the alphabetical order facilitates the search. The final lines of the introductory article inform that the author of the directory received no support from the RSHA management. With this in mind, the directory acquires additional value by becoming an ostensive historical fact of the current Catholic Church situation in the rapidly secularising world
Genetic predictors and fitness consequences of male attractiveness in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
No full textWydział BiologiiU gatunków, u których nie ma bezpośrednich korzyści z wyboru partnera, samice kojarząc się z atrakcyjnymi samcami mogą zyskać pośrednie korzyści genetyczne w postaci potomstwa o wysokim dostosowaniu – atrakcyjnych synów (model Fisher’a) lub wysokiej jakości potomstwo („dobre geny”). Oba modele przewidują, że atrakcyjne samce powinny mieć więcej wnuków. Jednak te przewidywania są rzadko testowane. L. wnuków jest dokładniejszą miarą dostosowania, ponieważ odzwierciedla komponenty dostosowania potomstwa oraz potencjalne kompromisy ewolucyjne i konflikty płciowe (KP). W związku z tym badania w niniejszej rozprawie doktorskiej sprawdzały: 1) czy cechy atrakcyjne (epigamiczne) samców przewidują, nie tylko sukces kojarzeniowy (SK) i sukces reprodukcyjny (SR), ale, co ważniejsze, l. wnuków; 2) czy samce o wysokim dostosowaniu mają więcej wnuków mimo potencjalnych KP; oraz 3) założenia hipotezy „dobre geny jako heterozygotyczność”, poprzez zbadanie, czy 2 potencjalne kategorie „dobrych genów” – heterozygotyczność ogólnogenomową (MLH) i geny głównego układu zgodności tkankowej (MHC) wpływają na komponenty dostosowania i cechy epigamiczne samców. Wyniki wykazały, że: 1) cechy epigamiczne przewidywały dostosowanie samców mierzone l. wnuków, ale nie SK czy SR; 2) samce o wysokim dostosowaniu miały więcej wnuków i synów o wysokim SR, ale córki o zmniejszonym RS; 3) MLH było odziedziczalne i przewidywało dostosowanie na podstawie l. wnuków, ale nie przewidywało SK ani SR. Podsumowując, wyniki podkreślają, że wnioskowanie o korzyściach z wyboru partnera na podstawie SR może być niekompletne lub mylące. Włączenie kolejnych pokoleń do badań nad doborem płciowym dostarcza bardziej wiarygodnego oszacowania dostosowania.In species in which males do not provide females with direct benefits from mate choice, females by mating with attractive males may gain indirect genetic benefits in terms of offspring of high-fitness – attractive sons (Fisherian benefits) or high quality progeny (‘good genes’). Both of these models predict that attractive males should have more grandoffspring. However, this prediction has rarely been tested. No. of grandoffspring is a more accurate measure of fitness as it captures fitness components of the progeny, possible life-history trade-offs or intralocus sexual conflict (IASC). Therefore, studies in this PhD thesis tested: 1) if male epigamic traits predict not only mating (MS) and reproductive success (RS), but most importantly, no. of grandoffspring; 2) if high-fitness males have more grandoffspring despite potential IASC; and 3) ‘good genes as heterozygosity” hypothesis, by investigating if 2 potential categories of ‘good genes’ – multilocus heterozygostity (MLH) and Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes, affect male fitness components, and epigamic traits. The results showed that: 1) male epigamic traits predicted no. of grandoffspring, but not MS or RS; 2) high-fitness males had high no. of grandoffspring, with sons, but not daughters, having high RS; 3) MLH was heritable and predicted fitness measured as no. of grandoffspring, but not epigamic traits, MS or RS. Taken together, the results highlight that inferring fitness benefits on RS may be incomplete or misleading. Incorporating further generations into studies on sexual selection provide more reliable estimations of fitness.The work contained within this thesis was founded by National Science Centre, grant no.

Sarcoidosis associated with neuromyelitis optica
No full textNeuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an autoimmune disorder diagnosed by an elongated spinal cord lesion associated with unilateral or bilateral optic neuritis and anti-aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibodies in the serum. It is triggered by or associated with several autoimmune diseases, but not with sarcoidosis. It responds to immunomodulators better than to steroid treatment. Sarcoidosis is an autoimmune disorder which manifests as non-caseating granulomas, usually in the lung parenchyma, but also in other tissues, including the brain. The involvement of the central nervous system in neurosarcoidosis differs considerably from that in neuromyelitis optica and the association of these two diseases concurrently in the same patient is unusual. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
