Authors: Gozhenko Anatoliy , Smagliy Vadym , Korda Inna , Badiuk Nataliya , Zukow Walery , Popovych Igor
Published: February 2020

Background. Previously, we found a wide range of uric acid metabolism parameters and functional relationships of uricemia and uricosuria with the parameters of immunity in healthy female rats analyzed. It was found by canonical correlation analysis that both parameters of uric acid metabolism determine the immunity status of rats by 71%. The purpose of this study is to determine the features of immune status in rats with quantitatively and qualitatively different uric acid metabolism. Material and Methods. Experiment was performed on 60 healthy female Wistar rats 220-300 g. Among them 10 animals remained intact, using tap water from drinking ad libitum. The rats of others groups for 6 days administered through the tube various fluids. The serum and urine levels of the uric acid (uricase method) were determined. In the blood, the parameters of immunity were determined. From thymus and spleen made smears-imprints for counting splenocytogram and thymocytogram. For them, as well as immunocytogram and leukocytogram of blood, Shannon’s entropy was calculated. Results. Screening of immune profiles of four quantitative and qualitative uric acid metabolism clusters revealed 6 functional-metabolic patterns, two of which are quasilinear (enhancing and suppressing), with immune extremes at moderately elevated uricemia, two U-shaped with immune optimum at moderately reduced uricemia levels, as well as a non-reactive pattern. Discriminant analysis revealed 14 parameters of immunity, the constellation of which four clusters of metabolism of uric acid clearly distinguish. Conclusion. Endogenous uric acid exerts a modulatory immunotropic effect in healthy female rats.

Published: February 2020

Urgency. These days hip endoprosthetics is quite common surgery. Following prosthetics, most of the functional limb disorders were observed in the patients under treatment at the early and long-term periods after surgery. This was associated with uneven loading on the feet when walking. The objective: to evaluate the load distribution of patients’ feet plantar surface after hip replacement for coxarthrosis, depending on the use of anterior - lateral or posterior - lateral surgical approach. Materials and methods. The parameters of podobarography were analyzed in 120 patients before operation, at early and long-term postoperative periods after hip replacement. Herewith 60 patients underwent anterior-lateral and 60 patients - posterior-lateral approach. Results. The indices of the load by the zones of the feet plantar surfaces and the ratio of the operated-contralateral limb after endoprosthetics at the stages of functional recovery varied. The imbalance of values under the use of anterior-lateral and posterior-lateral approach can be regarded as a compensatory mechanism for the transfer of the projection of the body’s gravity center to the support area due to the redistribution of muscle activity between agonists and antagonists to maintain the joint’s stability after implant’s positioning.

Authors: Krut Yuri , Zemlyana Nataly , Savchenko Sergey
Published: February 2020

Introduction: The relevance of the study of the problem of endometrial hyperplastic processes (EHP) is due primarily to the high risk of malignancy of this pathology and its recurrent course. Despite numerous studies on EHP, some issues of pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this pathology remain debatable.Objective: To evaluate the levels of APRIL, survinin and phosphoPTEN in serum of women with various forms of EHP in combination with uterine fibroids and their prognostic value for recurrence.Materials and Methods: 105 women with endometrial hyperplastic processes and endometrial adenocarcinoma were examined during the study. The first group consisted of 34 women with simple endometrial hyperplasia without atypia (SEHWA), the second group included 47 patients with complex endometrial hyperplasia without atypia (CEHWA). The groups were divided into subgroups with or without uterine fibroids. The third group consisted of 26 women with endometrial adenocarcinoma.Results: Level of APRIL was increased in the CEHWA group compared to the control group (p<0,05) and the SEHWA (p<0,05). Women with endometrial adenocarcinoma had significantly higher APRIL levels compared to controls and patients with both types of endometrial hyperplasia (p<0,05). Women with SEHWA had significantly higher level of survinin compared to controls (p<0,05). Patients with CEHWA and adenocarcinoma had serum levels of survinin higher than those in the control and SEHWA groups (p<0,05).Conclusions: Adequate prognostic significance for the occurrence of relapses of EHP had the increasing of APRIL level greater than 43 pg/ml and survinin level greater than 70 pg/ml. In patients with EHP in combination with uterine fibroids a significant risk factor for relapse was an increasing of APRIL level greater than 43 pg/ml.

Authors: Parzych Krzysztof
Published: February 2020

This study addresses the development of foreign incoming tourism in the coastal tourist zone of the Baltic coast. Quantitative and spatial analysis of foreign incoming tourism in coastal communes of the Baltic coast in the period 2005-2017 was carried out. The GUS Local Data Bank data on the number of foreign tourists using the accommodation base of the number of overnight stays for foreign tourists in all 38 coastal communes in the Baltic Sea Coast were used as source material for the implementation of the research problem. The material was analyzed statistically and cartographically in the form of cartograms.The analysis of the spatial distribution of foreign tourists and overnight stays in individual coastal municipalities indicates their strong concentration in the spa communes (Kołobrzeg, Świnoujście, Międzyzdroje, Sopot), in Gdańsk and in communes with well-developed accommodation infrastructure and accompanying services (Rewal, Darłowo, Dziwnów). The least visited are rural communes, located on the outskirts of the region, with poorly developed tourist infrastructure, with a dominant function of socio-economic development, different from the tourist one.

Published: February 2020

The assessment of footballers effectiveness is the key element of control at every step of their training, regardless of on what level they are. What seems essential is the prediction of footballers' actions, the height of which is achieved in the time directly preceding taking part in competition. Therefore, twenty footballers took part in the study which involved efficiency tests concerning maximum speed in 5 meters and 20 meters races as well as endurance measured by Beep Test. The tests were conducted at the end of lead time. Additionally, the effectiveness of action was measured in the initial perdion. No significant correlations were found between the tested variables – speed tests and effectiveness of game. A significant relationship was found only between the endurance measured by Beep Test.Summing up, the only factor significantly correlated to the effectiveness of footballers' action was endurance and it  can be therefore seen as crucial in terms of motor preparation, at the tested sport level.

A good balance will restore the balance of the accuracy of kicking toward the goal. Good leg muscle strength will successfully win the accuracy of kicking toward the goal supported by the player obtained. A good balance will cancel the strength of leg players. Thus the accuracy of kicking towards the goal can be increased through increased balance and leg muscle strength.
India-Pakistan Relations in the Prism of ‘Realist School’ of International Relations
Authors: Shakeel Ahmad Muhammad , Naheed Fahmeda
Published: February 2020

The India-Pakistan relationship is shaped by internal and external variables – which form very complex interactions between the two. Externally, both countries are influenced by multiple factors which shape their foreign policies – the geopolitics of South Asia is the major one. However, another important factor in the relationship between the two nations and a source of great tension between the two of them is the persistence influence of the ‘realist school’. This school of thought, holds that nations are rivals and will only seek their own interests at the costs of those of their neighbors. This theory of international relations holds that countries such as India and Pakistan need to compete with each other, especially militarily. This paper will focus on the geopolitical factors which shape India-Pakistan relations in contemporary times – how the geostrategic culture is shaping the relationship of both South Asian neighbors in bringing more distrust, and an antagonized sense of insecurity and mistrust. This article will analyze the geopolitical settings and related factors – bilateral nuisance such as Kashmir, wars and other border disputes; regional factors such as China, Afghanistan – and geopolitical interests of both nations. This research can lead to a better understanding of the strategic culture of the region which greatly influences the relationship between India and Pakistan. This research examines the negative impact of the ‘realist school’ on the relationship between Pakistan and India and indicates that only a change in the political culture of both nations can lead to peaceful co-existence.

The Dilemma of “Blasphemy Laws” in Pakistan – Symptomatic of Unsolved Problems in the Post-Colonial Period?
Authors: Roswitha Badry
Published: February 2020

By all accounts, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan has the strictest “blasphemy laws” among countries with a majority Muslim population. The controversial amendments to the provisions of the Pakistan Penal Code on “offences relating to religion” go back to General Zia ul-Haq’s top-down policies of Islamization. Despite their flaws, doubtful legitimacy, and negative repercussions, the “blasphemy laws” have neither been reformed nor abolished under subsequent governments. This contribution will shed light on the complex political, economic, and social factors that have led to both the emergence of the laws and to the continuous escalation of the situation in terms of increased sectarian and religiously- motivated violence that the ongoing debate about the “blasphemy laws” has engendered. It may be asked, to what extent the controversy on the laws can be taken as indicative of problems with which the country was confronted since its formation, and to what extent shifts and transformations in the socio-political structure of Pakistan, the inability or unwillingness of the authorities to deal with the challenges in a systematic way, and also external factors have exacerbated these deep-rooted problems.

Regionalism in the Virtual Era
Authors: Piech Magdalena
Published: February 2020

The symbolic concept of kashmiriyat, dated back to 16th century, generally covers most of the aspects of Kashmiri Muslims’ culture perceived as traditional. However, in the modern era of globalization and rapid growth of the media, particularly the Internet, the world is changing really fast, together with local cultures and identities. The budding influence of social media on the culture of participation, opens a new field for artistic activity. It is especially the younger generation, prone to rebel against the existing reality, who make use of those aims to express oneself. One of the most alluring means to do so is music. It stimulates people’s awareness and tends to unite people beyond boundaries by its universal language. Thanks to its emotional potential, popular music recently gathered its momentum among Kashmiri Muslims as well. The paper presents the examples of two young Kashmiri musicians, MC Kash and Ali Saffudin, as the carriers of Kashmiri Muslim cultural identity. Pointing out the traditional symbols, how they are being reinterpreted and mixed with the elements of current reality and Western culture, I will try to show some aspects of this identity, focusing on the place of regionalism in it.
Golem i Lewiatan. Judaistyczne źródła teologii politycznej Thomasa Hobbesa
Authors: Tulejski Tomasz , Zawadzki Arnold
Published: February 2020

Golem and Leviathan: Judaic Sources of Thomas Hobbes’s Political Theology In the article, the Authors point out that Hobbes’s political philosophy (and in fact theology) in the heterodox layer is inspired not only by Judeo-Christianity, but also by rabbinic Judaism. According to them, only adopting such a Judaic and in a sense syncretistic perspective enabled Hobbes to come to such radical conclusions, hostile towards the Catholic and Calvinist conceptions of the state and the Church. In their argument they focused on three elements that are most important for Hobbesian concept of sovereignty: the covenant between YHWH and the Chosen People, the concept of the Kingdom of God, salvation and the afterlife, and the concept of a messiah.
Dwa oblicza stanu wyjątkowego w filozofii Giorgia Agambena
Authors: Sawczyński Piotr
Published: February 2020

Two Faces of the State of Exception in Giorgio Agamben’s Political Philosophy The aim of the article is to analyze Giorgio Agamben’s theory of the state of exception. His controversial argument is that contemporary law functions according to the logic of exception, which is its inner matrix. In Agamben’s view, the state of exception is highly ambivalent: on the one hand, it is responsible for turning law into the domain of sovereign power; on the other, it has a potential of deactivating legal violence and thinking of law beyond power relations. To explicate the dual nature of this political and legal phenomenon, I scrutinize the mechanism of inclusive exclusion, considered by Agamben as the core of the state of exception. I further critically examine Agamben’s theory against the background of the messianic turn in today’s humanities and hypothesize that he predominantly reads the state of exception as a messianic concept which promises structural transformation of law. To show what this transformation might look like, I refer to the tradition of Jewish messianism which is a primary source of inspiration for Agamben’s critical theory.

O objetivo deste trabalho é o de mostrar como a filosofia grega antiga tratou do fenômeno humano da hybris – a desmedida – a partir das considerações de Platão, Aristóteles e Heráclito, pensadores que se debruçaram sobre a questão. Nesta perspectiva, serão apresentadas as noções por meio das quais cada um dos filósofos supracitados combateu o problema, partindo da apresentação de um métron natural (physei) – uma medida – que pudesse extinguir a hybris e ser tomada como critério ontológico da ação do homem em geral
A noção de pietas nas práticas religiosas de Rudens
Authors: Duarte da Silva Alves de Souza Fellipe , Messeder Moura Fernanda
Published: February 2020

Neste artigo, aborda-se como a noção de pietas vem explorada comicamente por Plauto em Rudens, obra cuja ação é permeada pela religiosidade romana, em especial, do culto público. Com esse objetivo, abordamos a noção de pietas como vínculo social e religioso, levando em consideração o uso de pius e scelestus, a utilização cênica do templo, o lugar religioso que o mar assume em Rudens e a menção explícita a instrumentos utilizados no culto a Vênus. Considerando parte da problemática que envolve os conceitos de religião e religiosidade na Roma do período helenístico (FUNARI, 1993; Id., 2009; TOLLIVER, 1952) bem como o tratamento cômico fortemente ligado ao cotidiano no corpo plautino (DUCKWORTH, 1952) fazemos uma análise histórico-literária de fatos pertinentes para o estudo da prática religiosa, que é elemento essencial da cidadania romana coletiva que adveio da invenção da urbs (SCHEID, 1998). A conclusão a que chegamos é a de que Plauto representa a pietas na comédia a que se restringe este artigo, sobretudo por elementos cênicos e orais, de modo que a religiosidade se mostra intimamente ligada à correção de costumes observáveis nas personagens tipo.

As decisões estruturais e o procedimento das ações possessórias: um estudo de caso do residencial "Cristo vive"
Authors: Nepomuceno Chaira Lacerda , Dias Daniella Maria dos Santos , Marques Carlos Henrique Costa
Published: February 2020

A decisão estrutural é espécie de provimento jurisdicional na qual o juiz intervém na gestão de uma instituição, entidade ou organização, visando concretizar um direito fundamental, elaborar uma política pública ou resolver um conflito complexo. A discussão sobre esse tipo de decisão iniciou-se em 1954, nos Estados Unidos. No ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, as pesquisas sobre o tema indicam que existe fundamento legal para este tipo de provimento nos artigos 139 e 536 do Código de Processo Civil (CPC), as chamadas “cláusulas gerais executivas”. Neste artigo buscou-se evidenciar que o procedimento especial das ações possessórias também estabeleceu bases normativas para a instauração de um processo estrutural, tendo em vista os novos dispositivos introduzidos pelo CPC/2015. Empregou-se o método de abordagem dedutivo, partindo do caso geral (processos estruturais) para o específico (demandas possessórias) e como método de procedimento foi utilizado o estudo de caso de uma ação de reintegração de posse. A pesquisa foi fundamentalmente bibliográfica e documental e realizou-se análise qualitativa dos dados. Constatou-se que o caso concreto estudado funcionou como um processo estrutural, apresentando as características e especificidades atinentes a este, o que foi bastante influenciado por este procedimento especial do CPC.
The Americanization of contract law: the merger clause in the European perspective
Authors: Castronovo Francesco
Published: February 2020

It is a fact that the American contractual models and the American drafting style dominate the business environment. Professional operators use such models not only in international business relationships, but also when they enter into a purely domestic agreement. This means that professional operators circulate US contractual models for which the law of a civil law country is applicable.This paper explores the reasons underpinning such practice and how US contractual models react when they are subject to the law of a civil law country. In particular, considering the peculiarities of the US contract law, it is worth focusing on integration and interpretation that are based on two rules (parol evidence rule and plain meaning rule) that are quite the opposite of the principles applicable under the civil law.The analysis will specifically focus on the merger clause, which is unknown to the civil law tradition and instead is iconic of the US contract law sentiment, investigating if and how this clause can work under the law of a civil law country.
Use of catheter maintenance solutions by community nursing staff: an assessment
Authors: Thomas Kelly
Published: February 2020

This article discusses catheter maintenance solutions, the way they are supposed to be used and the way they actually are being used in primary and community care in the UK. It discusses the knowledge that community nursing staff have regarding these solutions and the need for further education. Appropriate assessment from a suitably trained individual is recommended, resulting in both usage and cost being dramatically decreased, offering more appropriate management and the likelihood of decreasing the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI). The literature surrounding catheter maintenance solutions is investigated, and the lack of available evidence is highlighted. Preliminary research exploring primary and community care nurses' knowledge of catheter maintenance solutions is also discussed.
Improving pressure ulcer risk identification: a pilot project by ambulance staff
Authors: Mains Jacqueline , Graham Yitka , Hayes Catherine
Published: February 2020

Background:

A quality improvement initiative was designed to identify patients at risk of compromised tissue viability before they were admitted to hospital. Paramedics were educated to better identify patients with pressure ulcers or pressure damage, or those at risk of compromised tissue viability, and these patients were fitted with a pressure ulcer alert bracelet so that emergency department staff could identify them.

Aims:

The aims of the current initiative were to educate paramedics to better identify patients with pressure ulcers or those at risk of compromised tissue viability to emergency department staff, and fit them with a pressure ulcer alert bracelet to highlight them to emergency department staff so they would receive prompt intervention.

Methods:

A plan, do, study, act improvement methodology was used, and data from a 3-month period were retrospectively analysed. Patients identified as being at risk of compromised tissue viability were flagged as requiring assessment via a pressure ulcer risk assessment tool to enable prevention.

Results:

Paramedics identified 130 at-risk patients (aged 23–100 years), and data from 127 patients were analysed. Most at-risk patients fitted with pressure ulcer alert bracelets were aged 70 years or over, and there was an even female/male division. More than half (53%) of patients were found to have a pressure ulcer and alerted to emergency department staff. More than one in four (27%) patients who were identified as being at risk of pressure ulcers lived in nursing or residential homes, and 43% lived alone or in warden-controlled accommodation.

Conclusions:

Paramedics effectively identified potential risk factors for pressure ulcer development, indicating a need for immediate intervention. This study gives insight into how pressure ulcer risk assessment using an alert bracelet may be used in paramedic practice in emergency department handovers. Success depends on hospital staff acting upon paramedic recommendation.

The testing was performed before vaccination, 40 days before calving, 20 days before calving, and before calving. Colostrum samples were taken during the first milk yield. Serum samples from calves were drawn before colostrum feeding as well as at 7, 14, and 21 days, and 1 and 2 months of age. To measure the level of immunoglobulins A, M, and G, additional serum samples were collected from calves at 25, 35, 65, and 75 days after birth.

Results: Giving pregnant cows, an IFN-based drug at a dose of 1 ml/kg 48 h before vaccination results in the development and accumulation of antibodies to Rotavirus, coronavirus, and viral diarrhea (VD) in the colostrum, with a titer of 7.6±0.3 log2, 5.8±0.34 log2, and 4.4±0.18 log2, respectively. It indicates an increase in the antigenic activity of the multivalent vaccine.

Conclusion: IFN-based drugs enhance the protective effect of vaccination against associative infections in the newborn calves. They stimulate a rise in the titer of antibodies to Rotavirus, coronavirus, VD, and mucosal disease complex as well as an increase in immunoglobulins A, M, and G.
Fine needle aspiration adequacy in a one-stop neck lump clinic: 2nd cycle improvement
Authors: McNally George , Kamel Usama Fawzy , Hampal Sucha
Published: February 2020

The one-stop neck lump clinic at Warrington Hospital was established in 2011 in line with NICE head and neck cancer guidelines.1 They recommend that fine needle aspiration (FNA) is performed under ultrasound guidance in the presence of an onsite cytopathologist. This enables an immediate assessment of adequacy and repeat sampling as required on the same day to prevent diagnostic delay.2 The Royal College of Radiologists recommend a minimum adequacy rate of 70% for thyroid lesions. In 2014, a systematic review of 78 papers found an average FNA adequacy rate for all head and neck lesions of 90.7%.3

Methods: This re-audit aimed to evaluate whether local recommendations for improving the performance of ultrasound. Data collected retrospectively between August 2017 and January 2018 were compared to the first cycle audit (December 2015 May 2016). The adequacy of initial FNA samples were recorded and whether repeat aspirations were required. Samples were considered inadequate if the cytology report stated insufficient material for adequate diagnosis.4 The reasons for diagnostically inconclusive reports were documented.

Results: FNA cytology reports for 62 patients (53% female) in the second cycle were compared to 56 patients (64% female) in the first cycle. All pathologies were included, except for patients with suspected lymphoma.The adequacy rate for initial FNA reports increased from 76% to 89%. The specific adequacy rates for thyroids, salivary glands and lymph nodes improved by 18%, 18% and 4% respectively

Conclusion: Discussion with the local pathology and radiology departments after the initial audit generated recommendations to improve adequacy rates. The introduction of CytoRich fluid for thyroid specimen preparation significantly increased adequacy. Narrower bore needles reduce the risk of haemorrhagic samples and were used for repeat FNA sampling to successfully decrease inadequate reports.

Posisi Subjek Tokoh Skeeter dalam Filem The Help (2011) Karya Tate Taylor: Kajian Subjektivasi Slavoj Žižek
Authors: Holis Nor , Salam Aprinus
Published: February 2020

Slavoj Žižek introduces definition of subject through the concept of The Real. He decribes it use the Lacan’s psychoanalys triagle. The process of reaching The Real causes the subject to do something that can be out of the symbolic. Therefore, the position of subject could be decided at this stage. This kind of subject is seen in The Help (2011) film. It is represented by Skeeter. She tries to out from the symbolic order to get the real. In her process to reach the real, she is unable to release herself from the symbolic completely because of her educational background, her thought, and her conscience. Therefore, Skeeter could not be defined as the radical subject based on the process. Still, her effort in order to out from the symbolic is never succeeded. It is because she always does everything with full consideration. In fact, she only moves to the new symbolic order.

Background: The −174G>C (rs1800795) polymorphism at interleukin 6 (IL-6) gene has been reported to be related with the occurrence of colorectal (CRC) and gastric (GC) cancers. However, the results had been conflicting and controversial. In order to give a comprehensive and precise result, we summarized available data to analyze the association of this polymorphism with CRC and GC risk. Methods: A comprehensive literature search on PubMed, Elsevier Science Direct, and CNKI database was performed to identify all eligible studies up to May 15, 2019. The strength of association was assessed by odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: A total of 29 case-control studies including 16 studies with 7,560 cases and 9,574 controls on CRC and 13 studies with 1,445 cases and 2,918 controls on GC were selected. Overall, pooled data showed that the IL-6 −174G>C polymorphism was not significantly associated with increased risk of CRC and GC in overall. When stratified by ethnicity, we found a statistically significant association between the IL-6 −174 G>C polymorphism and CRC risk in Asians (CC vs. GG: OR = 1.860, 95% CI 1.061–3.258, p = 0.030; and CC vs. CG+GG: OR = 1.941, 95% CI 1.131–3.331, p = 0.016). Conclusion: The meta-analysis suggests that IL-6 −174G>C polymorphism was not significantly associated with the increased risk of CRC and GC in overall population. However, the results showed that IL-6 −174G>C polymorphism may be associated with risk of GC in Asians. Further studies including a larger sample size will be necessary to clarify these results.
Filozofia i religia a wychowanie: między świeckimi a religijnymi koncepcjami teleologicznymi
Authors: Iwanicki Juliusz
Published: February 2020

This article is an attempt at analysing educational issues from the perspective of teleology. Teleology is a sub-discipline of philosophical and religious reflection. Providing a purpose is a fundamental act of humans. This type of reflection is also needed in education. The article presents four possible types of relations between philosophy and religion in culture. These various possibilities result in various solutions that can be employed in upbringing. Depending on the adopted system of values, a young person will have a different vision of the world. The article also provides a historical analysis, referring to various classical philosophical and religious systems.
Działalność Wyższej Szkoły Rzemieślniczej w Łodzi w przekazie „Dziennika Łódzkiego” pod koniec XIX wieku

Published: February 2020

The Technical Academy was established in Łódź in 1869. For many decades, it was the only occupational academy in the city. During a six-year’s course, it provided general education and educated specialists in textile studies and mechanics. As the activities of the institution largely revolutionized education of employees for the fast-developing industry and gradually gained more and more recognition among factory owners, “Dziennik Łódzki”, a newspaper published from 1884 to 1892, largely covered various aspects of the Academy’s operations. The newspaper presented the curriculum, listed all the subjects with the number of hours in a week and mentioned the mandatory apprenticeships in laboratories. It also provided information on mandatory internships in factories, specifying the names of the facilities. The newspaper published announcements on entry exams and described the celebrations of the end of the academic years. It also presented lists of graduates as well as information on school reunions. Information was published on a campaign of supporting poor students, including lifting the tuition fees, scholarships granted mainly by factory owners, or one-off cash support and free deliveries of student books, clothes, and shoes. “Dziennik Łódzki” also published information on two educational institutions operating at the Technical Academy, that is Sunday drawing courses for the labourers, junior foreman and technicians, and a four-year’s Sunday trading school for financial clerks.
Polskie uczelnie wyższe lat międzywojennych i ich społeczności w relacji prasowej „Ilustrowanej Republiki”
Authors: Michalska Iwonna
Published: February 2020

“Ilustrowana Republika” was a daily published in Łódź in 1925–1939. Apart from the news, it published economic, social, cultural, educational, and sports information as well as materials on tertiary education. The issue of higher education was raised in over 440 articles and notes, which included information on the Łódź and other Polish universities. Journalists wrote about activities which aimed at making Łódź a university city and about more important events from the life of Polish universities. Fewer publications focused on academic issues; however, a great part of articles showed individual and atypical student conduct sometimes hard to accept such as suicidal attempts, conflicts with the law, organising anti-Semitic manifestations by right-wing students for almost the entire Interwar period. This work does not provide a complete picture of tertiary education or the academic community before WWII as it presents only facts and events described in the newspaper. However, it may be useful as a basic source for more comprehensive works concerning higher education in the past.
