Einige überlegungen zu der zweiten gruppe navigantes in augustins dialog de beata vita
No full textAt the beginning of the series of Augustine’s earliest extant literary works are the three philosophical dialogues Contra Academicos, De beata vita and De ordine, which were composed in the autumn of 386 during Augustine’s otium philosophandi in Cassiciacum. In the introductions of all three works, the marine metaphors are widely used. The author compares human life with a stormy sea and sees as the only salvation the port of philosophy. In beata v. 1. 2 Augutin compares the people to whom philosophy can accommodate with navigantes, which he groups in tria genera. Although the people who belong to the respective group are described in detail, the author does not mention names. This arouses research interest and justifies the attempt to propose a representing person for each group.
The present work sets itself the goal by parallel reading of beata v. 1. 2, with some passages from Cicero’s Epistulae, Tusculanae disputationes and De officiis to make a new proposal. And this in addition to the currently existing assumption that Romanianus, to whom the dialogue Contra Academicos is dedicated, should be considered as a representative of the second group of seafarers. However, the author of the present work now ventures a completely new approach, in which Cicero can be accepted as a representative of this group
Sedimentological, mineralogical and geochemical record of the palaeooceanographic changes off SW Spitsbergen during the last 14,000 years on example of JM07-015-GC sediment core
No full textWydział Nauk Geograficznych i Geologicznych: Instytut GeologiiObszary Arktyczne są szczególnie wrażliwe na zmiany klimatyczne, co związane jest przede wszystkim z obecnością stref frontowych, gdzie dochodzi do wymiany ciepłych i zimnych mas powietrza oraz wód. Takim obszarem jest region zachodniego Spitsbergenu, gdzie główny transport ciepła odbywa się poprzez Prąd Zachodniospitsbergeński niosący ciepłe, słone wody atlantyckie z rejonów równikowych. Z kolei chłodne, wysłodzone wody arktyczne niesione są z obszaru Morza Barentsa przez Prąd Wschodniospitsbergeński. Celem badań jest określenie zmienności prądów morskich w regionie południowo-zachodniego Spitsbergenu w okresie ostatnich 14 000 lat, na przykładzie rdzenia osadów szelfowych JM07-015-GC. Badania wykonane w relatywnie wysokiej rozdzielczości oparto na szeregu wskaźników sedymentologicznych, mineralogicznych i geochemicznych. Kompleksowe podejście metodyczne umożliwiło określenie warunków sedymentacji szelfowej, w szczególności rekonstrukcję relatywnego natężenia prędkości prądów przydennych oraz rozpoznanie obszarów źródłowych badanych osadów szelfowych i ich zmienności w czasie. Sedymentacja w południowo-zachodniej części szelfu spitsbergeńskiego podczas ostatnich ~14 000 lat uwarunkowana była oddziaływaniem bliskości lodowców, zmiennym natężeniem prądów przydennych, procesami redepozycji oraz wytapiania materiału transportowanego przez góry lodowe i lód morski. W okresach przed ~12 000, ~8 200 i po 500 lat BP dostawa osadu zdominowana była przez proksymalne źródła osadów. Pozostałe okresy cechowały się dominacją dystalnych źródeł osadów, transportowanych zarówno przez Prąd Zachodniospitsbergeński jak i Wschodniospitsbergeński. Intensywność prądów przydennych była najniższa około 10 000 lat BP co prawdopodobnie związane było z oddziaływaniem procesów glacioizostatycznych oraz inicjacją Prądu Wschodniospitsbergeńskego. Osady wczesnego i środkowego holocenu (9 000 – 7 000 lat BP) zostały zdeponowane w warunkach relatywnie najszybszych prądów przydennych powiązanych z Prądem Zachodniospitsbergeńskim niosącym ciepłe wody atlantyckie. Począwszy od ~7 000 lat dominującym typem wód na szelfie południowo-zachodniego Spitsbergenu stają się wody arktyczne. W badanym rdzeniu odnotowano również krótkotrwałe wydarzenie ~8 200 lat BP.Arctic regions are very sensitive to climate changes, in particular frontal areas, e.g. oceanic frontal zones, where various oceanic masses meet. Region off the west coast of Spitsbergen is one of such key areas where the West Spitsbergen Current carries warm and saline Atlantic Water from the south and meets the East Spitsbergen Current transporting cold and fresh Arctic Water from the Barents Sea. The purpose of this study is to decipher variability in the oceanic currents intensities that took place over the continental shelf off SW Svalbard during the last 14,000 years on example of JM07-015-GC core. The study is based on a high resolution multiproxy sedimentological, mineralogical and geochemical analyses. The obtained results enabled reconstruction of sedimentary environments, particularly the temporal variations in the intensity of bottom currents and identification of the sediment provenance and its variability through time. The sedimentation on the continental shelf off SW Svalbard during the last 14,000 years was dominated by glaciers activity, changes in relative velocity of bottom currents, redeposition processes and sea ice and/or icebergs rafting. During the time interval before ~12,000; ~8,200 and after ~500 cal yr BP the sediment supply was mainly from proximal sources. While during the remaining periods sediments were carried from distal sources by the West Spitsbergen Current and the East Spitsbergen Current. The lowest relative bottom currents intensities occurred ~10,000 cal yr BP and were most probably caused by the combination of global circulation change, local glacioisostatic uplift and by the initiation of the East Spitsbergen Current. The sediments of Early and Middle Holocene age (9,000 – 7,000 cal yr BP) were deposited under conditions of the highest relatively near bottom currents related to the West Spitsbergen Current. From ~7,000 cal yr BP the dominant type of water masses on the continental shelf of SW Spitsbergen are Arctic Waters. The investigated core record revealed also the presence of 8,200 cal yr BP event
O „Damianie Capenece” Aleksandra Świętochowskiego. Zmagania z legendą
No full textThe objective of this paper is to analyse Aleksander Świętochowski’s debut novella series O życie [Oh Life], with particular emphasis on the opening novella. The reflections focus on Damian Capenko, a novella showcasing its relationship with the worldview of the second half of the 19th century and tendentious literature. The author proposes an interpretation of the work in the light of Dumania pesymisty [Musings of a Pessimist], an earlier series of texts by Świętochowski, one of the most outstanding creators of Positivist literature in Poland. As a result of the analyses, the relationship between the texts and the initial ideas of the Polish Positivism programme is explained, along with the apparent artistic inconsistency of the series. Celem artykułu jest analiza debiutanckiego cyklu nowelistycznego O życie Aleksandra Świętochowskiego, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem utworu otwierającego tom. Rozważania koncentrują się na opowiadaniu Damian Capenko, ukazując jego związek ze światopoglądem drugiej połowy XIX wieku, literaturą tendencyjną. Autor proponuje interpretację utworu w świetle Dumań pesymisty, wcześniejszego cyklu wypowiedzi publicystycznych Świętochowskiego, jednego z najwybitniejszych twórców literatury pozytywizmu w Polsce. W wyniku przeprowadzonych analiz wyjaśniony zostaje związek tekstów z początkowymi ideami programu polskiego pozytywizmu, a także pozorna niespójność artystyczna cyklu

Abstract
Arterial hypertension is classified as a chronic disease. It belongs to the group of disease that increase the risk of occurrence of cardiovascular complications, which if left untreated can lead to sudden death. It is estimated that in Poland currently 32% of the population suffers from arterial hypertension. Despite great progress in the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension, it is still a huge medical-socio-economic problem. Increasing the emphasis on patient education can significantly affect self-control, adaptation to recommendations and, consequently, in the future perspective will reduce the mortality rate among patients with this disease. The aim of this work is to draw attention to the still present problems of patients with hypertension by presenting the currently valid definition, epidemiology, etiology of the disease, complications and methods of treatment.
Key words: arterial hypertension, definition, epidemiology, etiology, complications, treatmen
Nuove acquisizioni sullo Specchio di Illuminazione della Beata Illuminata Bembo
No full textThe discovery of some fifteenth-century manuscripts of the Specchio di Illuminazione of Beata Bembo in the so-called “Archivio della Beata Caterina”, kept in the Archbishop’s General Archive of Bologna, has opened up new and completely unexpected perspectives on the hagiography of St. Catherine of Vigri, revealing a multiform and complex evolution of this work. Two new editions have emerged, different from the one known so far: one shorter and widely epitomized, the second longer, with significant inserts, concentrated mainly in chapters VI-IX. Based on some significant clues, the author hypothesizes that this drafting chronologically precedes that of the so-called “autograph” and that it has been the subject of a series of second thoughts and complaints by the author herself or her circle. Some 16th century codices have also emerged, witnesses of the drafting known so far, but not without interest. Very recent paleographic studies had questioned the real autography of the edited manuscript. A first examination of the new acquisitions seems to confirm that they do not derive from the “autograph”, presenting several lessons and disjunctive errors.La scoperta di alcuni manoscritti del XV secolo dello Specchio di Illuminazionedella Beata Bembo nel cosiddetto “Archivio della Beata Caterina”,custodito presso l’Archivio generale arcivescovile di Bologna, ha spalancatonuove prospettive, del tutto inattese, sull’agiografia di santa Caterina de’Vigri, rivelando un’evoluzione multiforme e complessa di quest’opera. Sono emerse due nuove redazioni, diverse da quella finora nota: l’una più breve e ampiamente epitomata, la seconda più lunga, con significativi inserti, concentrati soprattutto nei capitoli VI-IX. Sulla base di alcuni indizi significativi, l’autore ipotizza che questa redazione preceda cronologicamente quella del cosiddetto “autografo” e che sia stata oggetto di una serie di ripensamentie di censure da parte dell’autrice stessa o della sua cerchia. Sonoemersi anche alcuni codici del XVI secolo, testimoni della redazione finoranota, ma non privi di interesse. Recentissimi studi paleografici avevano messo in discussione la reale autografia del manoscritto edito. Un primo esame delle nuove acquisizioni sembra confermare che esse non derivino dall’“autografo”, presentando diverse lezioni ed errori disgiuntivi
Grażyna joins the game
No full textA review of Radosław Rychcik's Grażyny (Ludwik Solski Theater in Tarnów, premiere: 23.05.2015) presented during the 2nd New Theater Festival in Rzeszów (23-30.10.2015). Beata Kustra interprets the performance mainly through the lens of Maria Janion's book Women and the Spirit of Otherness, quoted at the beginning of the performance. The author attempts to show that Rychcik adopts Janion's perspective, showing Grażyna to be a woman who adopted the male social role and who can become a heroine only posthumously - when her heroic deed becomes a myth. Kustra points out many motifs and devices used by the director and comes to the conclusion that some served only to make the performance more attractive
Report on the first year of applying initial assessment of nutritional status in hospital inpatients
No full textAbstract
Introduction. Since 2012, Polish hospitals are recommended to implement the assessment of the nutritional status and appoint nutrition support teams.
Aim. To evaluate the application of initial assessment of inpatients’ nutritional status in the first year of its implementation in clinical practice.
Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of medical documentation of patients admitted to hospital in the year 2012 was conducted. The research sample included one in ten medical records.
Results. A total of 433 medical records was analyzed. In 5.3% medical records a lack of duly completed Subjective Global Assessment questionnaires was revealed. In 81.8% cases a calculated Body Mass Index (BMI) was not found. No instances of renewed calculation of BMI were recorded. In 49.7% cases no information on diet recommended to the inpatient was found. With the exception of the internal medicine ward, in 87% of the cases the diets were not recommended in writing by a physician or included in the medical orders documentation. The inpatients classified as undernourished were usually recommended a diet containing 2000 kcal + additional 300 kcal as second breakfast and afternoon snack. Information on cooperation with the nutrition support team and on inpatient’s nutrition was not included in the nursing documentation.
Conclusions. During the first year when the obligatory patient nutritional status assessment was introduced in Polish hospitals, the awareness of its significance, nutritional therapy planning and monitoring of the results were insufficient. The assessment of nutritional status seems to be another dead letter in patient medical documentation.</jats:p
The hapiness and its search in De Beata Vita of Saint Augustine
No full textSanto Agostinho apresenta a posse de Deus como o porto da felicidade. Deste modo, veremos que com o diálogo De Beata Vita, o autor oferece uma resposta para tal questionamento, a partir de uma noção de felicidade que consiste no perfeito conhecimento de Deus. Assim, abordaremos a referida questão com a finalidade de tornar mais evidente a concepção agostiniana de felicidade e realização humana.Saint Augustine has the possession of God as the happiness of the harbor. Thus, we seethat with the De Vita Beata dialogue, the author offers na answer to this question, from a sense of happiness consists in the perfect knowledge of God. Thus, we will address that question in order to make it clear the Augustinian conception of happiness and human fulfillment.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES
The non- -existent wall? The problem of describing Muranów
No full textThe article presents the problem of recovering the memory of the Warsaw district of Muranów, the site of the WW2 ghetto in recent literature. Referring to one of the first works devoted to this subject (Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz’s Umschlagplatz), the author reveals subsequent changes in the treatment Jacek Leociak, Beata Chomątowska and Elżbieta Janicka’s of the issue in their books. Indicating the oscillation between remembrance and forgetting about the ghetto, the authors adopt different perspectives to touch upon the ambiguous presence of the area's former inhabitants in the consciousness of today’s Varsovians. Their ways of focusing attention on this question may be termed a commemorative perspective, focused on the psychology of space and critical discourse. Though signaling the problem differently, the authors are united in emphasising the problems related to the Polish memory of the Warsaw ghetto
Zastosowanie opieki paliatywnej u chorych w zaawansowanym stadium otępienia
No full textThe palliative care, according to the WHO definition, is a universal and general care that improves the quality of lifeof patients and their families facing life-threatening illness. Particular attention is given to the prevention, assessment,and treatment of pain and other symptoms, and to the provision of psychological, emotional and spiritual support.The basic principles of palliative care are in a large degree compatible with those used in caring of severely dementedpatients. The patients with severe dementia are those who have lost their ability to respond to the environment,to speak and communicate with other people, control movements and express their physical, emotional as well asspiritual needs. Ultimately they deteriorate to a state of complete helplessness. These patients are indeed dying,though this process can be extended in time. The assurance of comfort, alleviation of both physical and psychicalsufferings and treatment with respect and dignity should be the priority in caring for such patients. However, inthe clinical practice severe dementia is seldom considered as a terminal condition and those demented patientsare seldom included in the palliative and hospice care.The aim of this paper is to stress the necessity of including patients with severe dementia in palliative and hospice care.Opieka paliatywna, zgodnie z definicją WHO, jest wszechstronną, całościową opieką nad pacjentami chorującymina nieuleczalne (nie poddające się leczeniu przyczynowemu), postępujące choroby, sprawowaną zazwyczaj u kresużycia. Podstawowe założenia opieki paliatywnej pokrywają się w dużym stopniu z założeniami opieki nad chorymiz zaawansowanym otępieniem.Chorzy z otępieniem, osiągnąwszy zaawansowane stadium choroby, tracą zdolność do odbierania rzeczywistości,mówienia i kontaktowania się z otoczeniem, kontrolowania swojego ciała oraz wyrażania swych potrzeb fizycznych,emocjonalnych i duchowych, stając się tym samym całkowicie bezbronnymi. Są pacjentami umierającymi, choćproces ten może być rozciągnięty w czasie. Zapewnienie komfortu, łagodzenie cierpień fizycznych i psychicznychoraz traktowanie z poszanowaniem godności powinno być podstawowym priorytetem w opiece nad tymi chorymi.W praktyce klinicznej zaawansowane otępienie jest rzadko zaliczane do stanów terminalnych, a chorzy zazwyczajnie otrzymują opieki typu paliatywnego czy hospicyjnego.Celem niniejszej pracy jest zwrócenie uwagi na potrzebę włączenia w opiekę paliatywną i hospicyjną osób z zaawansowanymotępieniem
