C-reactive protein kinetics after major surgery
No full textBACKGROUND: Diagnosis of sepsis in the postoperative period is a challenge. Measurements of inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), have been proposed in medical patients, but the interpretation of these values in surgical patients is more difficult. We evaluated the changes in blood CRP levels and white blood cell count in postoperative patients with and without infection. METHODS: All patients admitted to our 34-bed Department of Intensive Care after major (elective or emergency) cardiac, neuro-, vascular, thoracic, or abdominal surgery during a 4-month period were prospectively included. Patients were screened daily and characterized as infected or noninfected. CRP levels and white blood cell counts were recorded daily in all patients for up to 7 days after the surgical intervention. RESULTS: Of the 151 patients enrolled, 115 underwent elective surgery and 36 emergency surgery; cardiac surgery was performed in 49 patients, neurosurgery in 65, abdominal surgery in 25, vascular surgery in 7, and thoracic surgery in 5. In noninfected patients (n = 117), mean CRP values increased from baseline to postoperative day (POD) 3 (P 100 mg/L, suggest the presence of a postoperative infection. © 2014 International Anesthesia Research Society.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
De l’accélération
No full textCe texte très personnel porte d’abord sur certaines expériences communes dues à l’accélération technologique, vécues dans la perte précoce d’objets chers ou précieux (une valise à la roue usée irremplaçable, des fichiers informatiques technologiquement caducs), puis il évoque la manière dont, dans le rythme poétique, peut s’exprimer un rapport plus intime au temps vécu, et s’inscrire un rapport intempestif à l’histoire. Dans la première partie, André Markowicz, évoquant un moment de révélation dostoïevskien, éprouvé en observant un merle au Luxembourg, raconte comment la scansion poétique lui permit pour la première fois d’apprivoiser le sentiment angoissant de la vitesse du monde. Dans la deuxième partie, c’est le tumulte historicopolitique qui met au défi le vers poétique : après avoir cité un poème de Catulle écrit au temps de Catalina et lu par Alexandre Blok, l’auteur en vient à la répression soviétique, et raconte l’amitié d’Ossip Mandelstam pour une amie qui boitait, Natalia Schtempel, à qui il confia un de ses derniers poèmes, peu avant de se faire arrêter par Staline : dans ce « poème d’amour » qui prend valeur quasi testamentaire, Mandelstam transformait la boiterie féminine en signe d’une « âme » de sœur, vouée au deuil et à la transmission. Le rythme syncopé de ce poème cité en russe, puis en français, est « une accélération d’un autre genre ». Par sa scansion métrique et prosodique, rendue sensible par une transcription phonétique accentuée, une relation se noue entre le « défaut » physique et l’anomalie métrique : avec « l’accélération de la césure absente », la claudication de la femme-sœur devient une manière d’envol, et incarne rien de moins que ce qui nous fait vivre.This very personal text focuses on some common experiences resulting from technological acceleration, experienced through the early loss of expensive or invaluable objects (a suitcase with worn-out wheels which cannot be replaced, technologically-obsolete computer files), since it evokes the way in which, through a poetic rhythm, a more intimate relationship to time lived can be expressed, and an untimely relationship to history can be inscribed. In the first part, André Markowicz, evoking a revelatory moment worthy of Dostoyevsky by observing a blackbird in the Luxemburg Gardens, explains how poetic scansion allowed him, for the first time, to tame the feeling of anxiousness caused by the speed of the world. In the second part, it is the tumultuous historicopolitics which challenges poetic verse: after having quoted a poem by Catullus written at the time of Catalina and read by Alexander Blok, the author comes to Soviet repression, and talks about Ossip Mandelstam’s friendship with a person who had a limp, Natalya Shtempel, and to whom he entrusted his last poems, shortly before being arrested by Stalin. In this ‘love poem’, which takes on a quality that almost resembles a will, Mandelstam transformed the feminine limp into a sign of the ‘soul’ of a sister, dedicated to mourning and to transmission. The syncopated rhythm of this poem, quoted in Russian and then in French, is an ‘acceleration of another genre’. Through its metric and prosodic scansion, rendered sensible by an accented phonetic transcription, a relationship forms between the physical ‘defect’ and the metrical anomaly : with the ‘acceleration of the absent caesura’, the claudication of the woman-sister becomes a kind of flight, and incarnates nothing less than what gives meaning to our lives

Modelowanie czasu trwania firm handlowych w województwie zachodniopomorskim
No full textThe aim of this study was to construct models of trading companies’ lifespan, in individual districts of Zachodniopomorskie Voivodship. The author verified whether the impact of the survival time of trading companies on the survival function in general is the same in individual districts. This may inform potential entrepreneurs’ decisions on whether to set up a trading or other company. The Kaplan‑Meier estimator was calculated and a tests verifying similarities of functions of trading companies within the districts was used. Districts were then divided into groups, according to trading companies’ lifespan. Further on, the functions of the intensity of companies’ liquidation for particular districts were analysed. The rankings of districts were compared in terms of the lifespan of trading companies and businesses in total. In the study, the author used REGON registry, containing data about companies established in Zachodniopomorskie Voivodship in 2009–2011. These entities were observed until the end of 2013. It is something to be considered by both decision makers and entrepreneurs, that the probability of liquidation of a trading company is greater than of any other company. Trading activity is prevailing (the highest percentage of all newly established companies are trading companies), however, trading companies are also most in danger of liquidation.Celem przeprowadzonych badań była budowa modelu czasu trwania firm handlowych dla poszczególnych powiatów województwa zachodniopomorskiego. Oszacowano estymator Kaplana‑Meiera oraz zastosowano test weryfikujący podobieństwo funkcji firm handlowych w powiatach. Utworzono grupy powiatów. Zbadano funkcję intensywności likwidacji firm w grupach. Porównano uszeregowania powiatów pod względem czasu trwania firm handlowych i firm ogółem. W badaniu wykorzystano dane z rejestru REGON, dotyczące firm powstałych w województwie zachodniopomorskim w latach 2009–2011 (21 powiatów). Obserwacja trwała do końca 2013 roku. Jest to sugestia zarówno dla decydentów, jak i dla przedsiębiorców, że prawdopodobieństwo likwidacji firmy handlowej jest większe niż innych firm. Działalność handlowa jest przeważająca (największy udział w nowych firmach) i najbardziej narażona na likwidację

Hidden Layers of Embroidered Stories
No full textThis paper describes the creative process of "hidden layers of embroidered stories". It shows the process of searching for answers to the questions of how to translate elements of folk culture into measurable units and how to place traditional Slavic embroidery in the context of algorithms and the digitalised world of today. It shows the process of giving meaning to a newly constructed symbol through the search for an aesthetic form, verbal designation and placement in a composition in folk crafts with seemingly rigid, well-established conventions. The final project of the project - a composition made with the use of cross-stitching encourages recipients to actively find the symbols contained within the embroidery, asking them to solve the puzzle hidden within; the solution of which carries the message of the project's author
Tarėjo Arijono Luko Markovičiaus ir miesto valdžios konfliktas XVI a. vid. Vilniuje.
No full textKonfliktas kilo ne dėl religinių, o dėl ekonominių priežasčių: kelių L. Markovičiaus pralaimėtų bylų su giminaičiais bei kitais asmenimis, dėl prarasto degtinės varymo monopolio. Bene didžiausios netektys - namas ir nuostoliai dėl degtinės varymo. Konfliktas palaipsniui virto politiniu (miesto kontekste), nes iš tarybos de facto pašalintas L. Markovičius galiausiai užginčijo paties vaito A. Rotundo Meleskio veiksmų ir tarybos sudėties teisėtumą. Svarstytina mintis, kad iš tarybos jis buvo pašalintas ir į kalėjimą trumpam uždarytas ne dėl arijonybės, o dėl jam inkriminuoto nepaklusnumo karaliui, o galbūt ir išdavystės - tik dėl vienos iš šių priežasčių jis galėjo būti įkalintas. Beje, jo draugui karaliaus liutnininkui Valentui Bakfarkui dėl šnipinėjimo 1565 m. teko išvykti iš Lietuvos. Dėl turtinių (neteko didžiosios dalies turto) bei politinių netekčių (buvo pašalintas iš miesto tarybos) trumpam galėjo suradikalėti L. Markovičiaus religinės pažiūros, virtusios arijoniškomis. Nepaisant to, yra tvirtų įrodymų, kad jis galiausiai nebuvo kairiųjų arijoniškų pažiūrų, greičiau atvirkščiai. Tai leidžia svarstyti žodžių ir veiksmų šio arijono gyvenime evoliucijos ir atitikmens klausimą.The article analyses one of the many conflicts in the middle of the 19th century in Vilnius, namely, the conflict between councillor Arianist Lukasz Markowicz (d. after 1583) and the city authorities, i.e. municipal council and Vogt Augustinus Rotundus. The religious interpretation of the conflict predominates in the historiography, as under favourable circumstances Catholics pulled off the radical Protestant. Reading the earlier-known sources in a different way and handling new ones, the author reconstructs the process of the case which lasted more than 30 years, and gives a new interpretation of it. At the end of the research, the conclusion is drawn that the conflict had economical grounds, specifically because Lukasz Markowicz had lost some lawsuits: the biggest losses were a lost house and the monopoly of making vodka. The conflict became a political one (in the context of the city), because Lukasz Markowicz, which was unseated from the council, contested legitimacy of some actions of Augustinus Rotundus himself and the structure of the board. due to political (unseating from the council) and financial (a huge share of his property) losses, Lukasz Markowicz could temporarily become more radical in his religious standpoint, turning to Arianistic beliefs. Nevertheless, there is strong evidence that he was not of the leftist Arianistic views, but rather vice versa. This allows to consider the question of the conformity of words and actions and their evolution in the life of this Arianist
Ar Vilniaus burmistras Lukas Markovičius (mirė apie 1584 m.) buvo arijoniškos knygos autorius? Apie vieną svarbią smulkmeną.
No full textVilniaus miestietis, burmistras arijonas Lukas Markovičius Mundijus jau senokai žinomas radikalios Lietuvos reformacijos krypties tyrinėtojams. Jis laikomas vienu žymiausių XVI a. 7-ojo dešimtmečio arijonybės centro - Vilniaus - veikėjų. Jis galėjęs būti apie 1567 m. Gardine išleistos lenkiškos arijoniškos knygos autoriumi. Toks teiginys istoriografijoje egzistuoja beveik šimtmetį. Pirmasis apie tai prabilo Alexandras Brückneris. Jis atkreipė dėmesį į 1567 m. rugsėjo 13 d. Augustino Rotundo laišką Stanislovui Hozijui, kuriame Vilniaus vaitas rašo, kad skaitė Gardine spausdintą lenkišką knygą, kurioje neigiama valdžia, skelbiamas turto bendrumas bei luomų lygybė. A. Brückneris spėjo, kad galbūt šitą lenkišką knygą parašė Lukas Mundijus. A. Brücknerio mintį išplėtojo I. Lukšaitė: pasak jos, Karaliaučiaus archyvo duomenys duoda pagrindo manyti, kad Lukas Morkūnas Mundijus buvo parašęs knygelę ir net galbūt ją dedikavęs kunigaikščiui Albrechtui. Atlikto tyrimo rezultatai leidžia atmesti prielaidą, kad L. Markovičius buvo arijoniškos knygos autorius. Iš tikrųjų jų naudotuose šaltiniuose minimi tekstai yra "kalba, prašymas, skundas", o ne "knyga". Tik naujais šaltiniais ir naujomis interpretacijomis pagrįsta analizė gali leisti atsakyti į klausimą, ar L. Markovičius apskritai intelektualiai buvo pajėgus parašyti knygą. Ankstesnių teiginių atmetimas tokios galimybės anaiptol nepaneigia. L. Markovičiaus galimos autorystės klausimas yra glaudžiai susijęs su jo išsilavinimo lygiu bei konflikto su vaitu A. Rotundu ir Vilniaus miesto valdžia esme, tad juos irgi būtų pravartu išsiaiškinti.A hypothesis of historiography of the Reformation that Lukasz Markowicz, the burgomaster of Vilnius, was the author of the Polish Arianistic book published in Gardinas in 1564-1566 is analysed. After discussing the arguments of other authors, a conclusion that the mentioned hypothesis is unsound is drawn. It is not mentioned in the verses of Pedro Ruiz de Moros that the Voight of Vilnius, Augustinus Meleski Rotundus, and Lukasz Markowicz would be discussing in the books or about the books. The saying "supplicum libelum" found in the letters should be translated as "to make an oral request" and not as "a book". This conclusion doesn't mean that Lukasz Markowicz was not able to write a book. It would be useful to explore Lukasz Markowicz's level of education and his conflict with the government of Vilnius

Author and sources of the text of "Cnotliwy Litwin" (1592)
No full textStraipsnyje tiriama 1592 m. pasirodžiusios knygos „Cnotliwy Litwin“ autorystė. „Cnotliwy Litwin“ laikomas pirmuoju Lietuvos istoriografijoje teminiu istorinių dokumentų rinkiniu, kurį sudaro knygos rengėjo tekstas ir 10 dokumentų, pagrindžiančių Lietuvos Didžiosios Kunigaikštystės teises į Livoniją. Knyga yra anoniminė, todėl siekiama nustatyti jos autorystę. Albertas Vijūkas-Kojalavičius knygos autorystę klaidingai priskyrė Krizostomui Volodkevičiui. Jis negalėjo sukurti šio kūrinio, nes Volodkevičius mirė 1642 m. būdamas 51 metų amžiaus. Nustatyti autorystę pagelbėjo 1594 m. Vilniuje išspausdinta knyga „Dialiog ślachcica litewskiego prawdziwy wonjy inflantskiej...“. Joje aprašomi trys Stepono Batoro žygiai prieš Maskvą 1579-1581 m. Lyginamoji analizė parodė, kad abi knygas parašė tas pats autorius. 1594 m. knygoje autorius įrašė savo inicialus „E. P. Philalethes Lituaniae“. Tikėtina tai buvo Elijas Pielgrzymowskis - Venslovo Agripos įsūnis, kuriam jis užrašė savo biblioteką 1564 m. Žinoma, kad Pielgrzymowskis 1569 m. mokėsi Königsbero Universitete ir apie 1583 m. tapo karaliaus sekretoriumi. 1588 ir 1590 m. Žygimantas Vaza siuntė Pielgrzymowskį į Livoniją atlikti įvairias administracines užduotis. Tai paaiškina Livonijos reikalų išmanymą, kuriuo pasižymėjo „Cnotliwy Litwin“ autorius. Pielgrzymowskio autorystė priskiriama dar bent kelioms knygoms, todėl jis laikytinas vienu produktyviausių XVI a. pabaigos autorių Lietuvos Didžiojoje Kunigaikštystėje.

"Cnotliwy Litwin" is considered to be the first thematic collection of historical documents in Lithuanian historiography, consisting of the author's text and 10 documents justifying the rights of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to Livonia. The book is anonymous, which is why the aim is to determine its authorship. Albertas Vijūkas-Kojalavičius mistakenly attributed the book to Chryzostom Wołodkiewicz. He could not have created this work because Wołodkiewicz died in 1642 at the age of 51. A book "Dialog szlachcica litewskiego prawdziwy wojny inflanckiej...", published in Vilnius in 1594, helped to established its authorship. It describes three crusades by Stephen Báthory to Moscow in 1579-1581. Comparative analysis has shown that both books were written by the same author. In 1594, the author wrote his initials "E. P. Philalethes Lituaniae". It probably was Elijah Pielgrzymowski - the adopted son of Wacław Agryppa, to whom he decided to leave his library in 1564. It is known that Pielgrzymowski studied at the University of Königsberg in 1569, and became king's secretary in around 1583. In 1588 and 1590, Sigismund Vasa sent Pielgrzymowski to Livonia to perform various administrative tasks. This explains the knowledge of the Livonian affairs, noticed in the writings of the author of "Cnotliwy Litwin". Pielgrzymowski's authorship is attributed to at least several books, and therefore he is considered to be one of the most productive authors of the end of 16th century in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania
