Characteristics of visits from otolaryngologicalpatients before and during three waves of theCOVID-19 pandemic: A retrospective study
Authors: Cieślik Joanna , Tomik Jerzy
Published: January 2023

Introduction: COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on healthcare systems around the world. The rapid spread of the virus caused several restrictions, including limited access to outpatient clinics.

Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the characteristics and reasons for the visits of otolaryngological patients conducted during the first 3 waves of the COVID-19 pandemic with those of the prepandemic period.

Materials and methods: Volume, demographic data, type of visits, additional tests, types of referrals, and reasons for consultation were analyzed.

Results: There were 1578 visits performed before the pandemic and, respectively, 434, 1198 and 1299 during the 1st, 2nd and 3rd waves. The patients in the 1st and 2nd waves were older than the patients before the pandemic (median age 59, 56, and 52 years, respectively, for both comparisons p <0.0001). Regarding the type of visit, the vast majority were in-person visits in all groups. The highest percentage of teleconsultations was in the 1st wave and was equal to 3.46%. Before the pandemic, patients were admitted mainly due to upper respiratory system diseases (52.15%), while during the 1st wave the main reasons were tumors (39.86%, malignant and benign tumors comprised 29.26% and 10.6%, respectively).

Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic, especially the 1st wave, changed the profile of ambulatory patients. In the 1st wave, a higher prevalence of tumor patients and a lower prevalence of patients with diseases of the upper respiratory system was observed. The COVID-19 pandemic caused an increase in number of teleconsultations, but its role was limited.

Authors: Szybkie Andrzej
Published: January 2023

Introduction: In view of the armed conflict in Ukraine after 23 February 2022, the Polish social security system has faced the challenge of providing adequate assistance to all groups of persons in need, while maintaining social justice and taking into account the financial capacity of the Polish state.Objective: The article examines the status of Ukrainian citizens in terms of pension entitlements on the basis of the Polish-Ukrainian Agreement on social security in the context of Russia's armed invasion of Ukraine.Materials and methods: The article has been drawn up based on ZUS data on benefits handling as well as on the review of legal provisions and procedures in the field of social protection, with a particular focus on Ukrainian citizens in Poland.Results: Polish social insurance law offers sufficient guarantees of social insurance protection to persons from Ukraine and other foreigners. The Polish social insurance system is characterised by rights egalitarianism. The Social Security Agreement and the Special Law provide important complementary protection to migrants whose careers are built on insurance periods in Poland and in another state party to the Agreement. Practical cooperation between the pension authorities of Poland and Ukraine is also important. Based on good cooperation between social security institutions, it is possible to establish solutions for customers which would facilitate them to acquire rights or to transfer benefits in a war situation.

Published: January 2023

Field experiment was conducted for two consecutive rabi seasons (2010-11 and 2011-12) at the Research farm, R B S College, Bichpuri, Agra (Uttar Pradesh) to study the effect of conjoint use of FYM and chemical fertilizers on yield and nutrients uptake by onion (Allium cepa L.) and soil fertility. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with twelve treatments and three replications. The results revealed that the scale leaves/bulb and fresh weight of onion bulb and bulb yields increased significantly up to 150% NPK level over control. The yields of onion bulbs were significantly lower with the sub-optimal dose of NPK fertilizers. All the parameters further increased when 10 tonnes FYM/ha was added along with 100% NPK. An additional bulb yield of 3.35 tonnes/ha was realized with 100 % NPK + 10 tonnes/ha over 100% NPK alone. Application of 100% NPK + 5 kg Zn +1 kg B/ ha produced 32.13 tonnes/ha bulbs and dry matter yield (5.03 tonnes/ha) of onion which was superior to 100 % NPK alone (30.36and 4.75 tonnes/ha). The maximum protein content (5.75 %) and yield (29.75 q/ha) were obtained with 150% NPK and 100% NPK + 10 tonnes FYM/ha, respectively. The uptake of N, P, K, S, Zn and B by the onion bulbs was found to be associated with production of dry matter resulted by the addition of 100% NPK + 10 t FYM/ha. However, the maximum uptake of Zn (281.0 g/ha) and B (392.1 g/ha) by onion bulbs was noted under 100% NPK+5 kg Zn/haand 100% NPK + 1 kg B/ha, respectively. The conjoint use of 10 t FYM/ha with 100 % NPK significantly improved the status of available N, P, K, S, Zn and B in post harvest soil over the NPK fertilizers alone. Available B and Zn contents were found to be higher in treatment combination of 100% NPK + 1 kg B /ha and 100 % NPK + 5 kg Zn/ha, respectively. The minimum amounts of available nutrients in post harvest soil were recorded under control treatment.

Published: January 2023

Legume–rhizobium interaction is the result of molecular dialogue involving a succession of events on the perception of signal molecules produced and secreted by both partners. Soybean (Glycine max L.) is known to be nodulated by two different genera, Bradyrhizobium (slow growing rhizobia) and Sinorhizobium (fast growing) species. The present investigation is an attempt to understand the host genotypic effect on the fast and slow growing root nodulating bacteria of soybean which impacts the biological nitrogen fixation and would lead to the selection of best cultivar-strain compatible interaction. Five soybean genotypes of North Plain Zone, viz. DS 12-13, DS 9712, DS 2705, SL 979, SL 982 were evaluated for their symbiotic potential with two slow (KAS-1, MTCC10753) and two fast growing root nodulating bacteria (DS-1, LSR-8). Genotype DS12-13 formed significant number of nodules with KAS-1 with LS mean of 17.3. Genotype DS 2705 was poorly nodulated by the four strains. Among the strains, slow growing KAS-1 and fast growing DS-1 strains were effective across the genotypes. There was significant increase in the specific acetylene reducing activity of these strains 71.1 and 72.6 nmoles of C2H4 produced/mg/ndw respectively. These strains conformed to the biochemical identification by failing to grow on citrate, glucose peptone agar and Hoffer's alkaline media.

Published: January 2023

The present study is an attempt to assess the ragi (Eleusine coracana L.) production system with special reference to allocation of area, income distribution and employment in Tumakuru and Hassan districts of Karnataka. Farm survey method was used to collect data in order to develop linear programming representative farm models. The analysis takes into account crop activities, inputs used, farm size, etc. Out of total area allocation, the major area was allocated to maize (37.06%) followed by ragi (28.93%). The negative net returns from ragi (Rs 1342) was attributed to higher cost of cultivation and low crop yield coupled with low market price. The optimum crop plan per farm in the study area under rainfed situation indicated that, optimum allocation of the land, labour and variable capital among ragi, maize and redgram would yield net returns of Rs 13442. The net returns under irrigated crop plan was three fold higher than the rainfed crop plan because of effective contribution of groundwater for increased productivity of commercial crops namely potato and maize. Ragi is best suited crop under the emerging climate change, groundwater exploitation and food scarcity issues. Therefore, there is a need to increase incentives which in turn helps the farmers to grow more ragi and enhances the farm income of farmers.

In vitro studies on pollen viability of six jasmine species, viz. Jasminum sambac, J. auriculatum, J. grandiflorum, J. multiflorum, J. flexile and J. malabaricum, was conducted at ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Hesaraghatta Lake Post, Bengaluru during 2016-17. Results revealed that species Jasminum malabaricum recorded highest pollen viability (96.57%) as well as pollen germination (91.58%) followed by J. flexile (84.92% and 81.86%, respectively) and J. auriculatum (71.32% and 71.08%, respectively) under in vitro condition. The species J. sambac significantly recorded lowest pollen viability (34.27%) and germination (34.09%). Significantly highest normal shaped pollen grains were observed in J. auriculatum (96.92%) which was at par with J. malabaricum (96.89%) and J. grandiflorum (93.63%). Modified BK germination medium containing 100 ppm H3BO3 + 300 ppm Ca(No3)2 + 200 ppm MgSO4) with 10% sucrose + 15% PEG 4000 solution was found optimal for highest in vitro germination in J. malabaricum (91.58%). However, maximum length of pollen tube was recorded in J. flexile (1170.68 Î¼m) followed by J. malabaricum (951.11 Î¼m). The viable pollen diameter of different species ranged from 38.25 Î¼m (J. auriculatum) to 46.53 Î¼m (J. malabaricum). Pollen grains collected during evening (05:00 pm to 06:00 pm) at the time of anthesis showed best results. Pollen tubes revealed abnormalities such as bulging and coiling of tips in J. sambac and J. grandiflorum. This might be one of the reasons for no fruit set when J. sambac used as pollen parent. From this in vitro pollen germination study, species J. malabaricum, J. flexile and J. auriculatum were identified as most suitable male parents compared to other species.

Under organic management condition, it is presumed that the nutrients applied to preceding crops exhibits the considerable effect on succeeding crops, hence a fixed plot field experiment was conducted during three years (2011 to 2014) at Research Farm, National Organic Farming Research Institute (NOFRI), Tadong, Gangtok to assess the residual effect of mulching and vermicompost on growth, productivity, profitability and energetics of popcorn (Zea mays everta) under toria (Brassica campestris)-popcorn cropping system. The results revealed that the mulching materials applied to the preceding crops exhibited significant residual effect on growth, yield attributes and grain yield of succeeding popcorn over non-mulching (bare soil). However, among the mulching materials, rice straw mulch @ 5 t/ha exerted maximum residual effect and resulted in higher cob length (16.0 cm), cob girth (12.0 cm), grain yield (1.93 ha), stover yield (3.07 t/ha), net returns (72.8 × 103 rs.`/ha), B:C ratio (2.87) and energy use efficiency (20.62%) of popcorn. With regards to the vermicompost levels, residual effect of vermicompost @ 1.5 t/ha recorded the maximum grain yield (1.9 t/ha), net returns (71.3× 103 rs.`/ha), B:C ratio (2.81) and energy use efficiency (20.34%) of the succeeding popcorn under toria-popcorn cropping system.

Published: January 2023

The government has established a SAMSAT (One-Stop Manunggal Administration System) office which has duties in the motor vehicle tax service. Queuing activities make people spend their time waiting. Therefore, it is necessary to create a queuing system that can inform the estimated queue time remotely. The queuing system does not require users to wait physically, so the waiting time needed to queue can be used by taxpayers to carry out their own personal and work activities that are more useful. Queuing application development aims to develop queuing service features from previous applications which only provide queued information on taxpayers. Features developed in the form of queuing data processing with different activities, monitoring information on time and queue status periodically. The research method used is SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) with a prototype model. The test results using the Gray Box Testing method show that queuing applications in government agencies providing motorized vehicle tax services have been successfully developed.

Published: January 2023

In field surveys, environmental variables influence whether an observer is able to record an animal present at a given site. Despite the growing interest in the study of birds in urban ecosystems, the effect of environmental variables on the probability of detection has been scarcely explored. To provide scientific evidence that contributes to an adequate assessment of birds in urban environments, we evaluated the effect of noise, tree cover, and time of the day on the probability of bird detection in the city of Santiago, Chile. At 35 sites, we sampled four points that varied in noise levels. At each point, we recorded birds using distance sampling and measured noise levels as well as habitat attributes. We used the N-mixture model to model detection probability for six bird species: Zenaida auriculata, Elaenia albiceps, Troglodytes aedon, Turdus falcklandii, Zonotrichia capensis, and Passer domesticus. Noise exhibited a negative effect on the probability of detection of E. albiceps and P. domesticus. Tree cover had a negative effect on the probability of detection of T. falcklandii and Z. auriculata. The probability of detection of E. albiceps, P. domesticus and Z. auriculata was higher early in the morning and decreased considerably toward noon. For all six species the probability of detection was very low at distances more than 30 meters from the observer, indicating that corrections for imperfect detection may be necessary when surveys involve greater distances. Our results showed that it is necessary to consider the species-specific effect of environmental variables, which can affect the detection of birds in urban ecosystems.

Surplus killing, a common behavior exhibited by carnivores, consists, under certain circumstances, in killing many more prey than they consume. During the summer of 2018, large flocks of Lesser Rheas (Rhea pennata pennata) were found grazing in the fields surrounding the city of Puerto Deseado, in the Ria Desea- do Provincial Reserve, and even get in town. At the same time, high densities of stray dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) were recorded in the city. The convergence of the two events resulted in a surplus killing of 68 Lesser Rheas by packs. This is the first record of surplus killing of lesser rheas by predation of stray dogs in Argentina. It is essential to consider the presence of stray dogs when designing conservation strategies for wildlife, particularly in the surrounding of urban areas.

Published: January 2023

The Rock pigeon (Columba livia) is a common species in urban parks of the Greater Metropolitan Area of Costa Rica, where control campaigns have failed and little is known about the bird’s populations. Our goals were to compare population size in 2020 with our own estimates from 2014, and to evaluate several hypotheses about possible effects of infrastructure and anthropic use on the pigeons. We visited seven urban parks in 2014-2015 and 2019-2020, counting birds with the Panoramic Photographs Method. We analyzed an infrastructure variable (vegetation cover) and three anthropic variables (visitors, feeding and pigeon feed vendors). Over time, there was a pigeon population increase in Alajuela Central Park, a decrease in Plaza de la Cultura, and no change in the other five parks. We found positive correlations between the pigeon population, feeding events and presence of feed vendors. Changes in the population size of C. livia reflect the availability of food directly and indirectly provided by humans.

Published: January 2023

The imposed use of masks, hand washing and social distancing as icons of identity and adjustment options to Covid-19 safety guidelines have triggered conflict on preexisting culture among students, staff, and visitors in Alvan and allied academic institutions in this post-modern era. This article employed qualitative (discourse) analysis in its methodologies to explore people’s adjustment level to Covid-19 safety guidelines in Alvan community. Field data were generated from 14 respondents purposively sampled for study using structured interview and field observation. The results revealed that the level of compliances to Covid-19 guidelines in the Alvan community varied from very high in 2020 due to the sustained level of awareness/ supports created within and outside, moderate in 2021, to extremely low in 2022. Also, the post-modern adjustment across geographic spaces in Alvan community manifested through the use of face masks, nose masks, hand sanitizers, hand washing, and social distancing. The adjustment has enhanced people’s recognition of the diversities and heterogeneities of personal geographies, thereby bringing to the periphery the past deserted environmental consciousness, sanitation, personal hygiene, and social disorder in the Alvan community. This study concluded that the safety guidelines need to be strictly adhered to while people in the study area enjoy the free vaccine offered to them by government and donor agencies.

Published: January 2023

In edge computing, the signal of the 5th generation (5G) base station is often required to be covered by edge servers to guarantee a high transmission rate. And the smaller the total distance between the 5G base stations and the edge servers is, the faster the transmission rate is. Therefore, we need to study the optimal deployment of edge servers and the cloud data center. Firstly, the cluster analysis is used to cluster the 5G base stations and obtain the cluster centers, then the edge servers are deployed in the cluster centers. Secondly, the centroid method is used to determine the location of the cloud data center. By adopting the elbow and gap statistic methods, we also study the optimal number of edge servers to be deployed. Computer simulation results show that our methods provide better deployment locations for the edge servers and the cloud data center.
The Utilization of Social Media Marketing in Destination Management Organizations
Authors: Bosio Birgit , Haselwanter Stefanie , Ceipek Michael
Published: January 2023

The emerging use of social media fundamentally changes the communication and interaction of societies and organizations. It revolutionizes the way organizations market their products and interact with their customers. Social media acts as an agent of change within the marketing and communication of organizations. In particular, the tourism sector is affected by these disruptive changes. Social media influences and changes the interaction between touristic supply and demand sides fundamentally. These upcoming opportunities and challenges are especially relevant for destination management organizations (DMOs), which try to coordinate and market the intangible and immaterial tourism product of a destination. Social media marketing transforms the classical marketing and communication of these destination management organizations. Nevertheless, destination management organizations are still in an experimental stage of utilizing social media as a marketing tool, as they slowly start to realize the potential benefits of social media as an agent of change. This study investigates how DMOs in alpine regions implement social media marketing in their classical marketing strategies through a quantitative survey. Furthermore, the paper outlines which upcoming challenges and opportunities DMOs face by conducting qualitative interviews with social media managers in the destinations. Finally, implications and recommendations for DMOs are presented to cope with the emerging use of social media as a marketing tool.

Published: January 2023

The aim of this study is to examine the Nomination Committee (NC) in Maltese listed companies. The study achieves this by assessing the Maltese regulatory framework relating to this Committee, as well as its roles, status and effectiveness. A predominantly qualitative mixed methodology was employed to achieve these objectives. Twenty-five semi-structured interviews were held with two financial analysts, two MFSA representatives, eight audit firm representatives and 13 representatives of Maltese Listed Companies (MLCs) Research findings show that the NC is not as yet not well established among MLCs. There is a particular lack of insistence on the part of local regulatory authorities, as well as substantial resistance from listed companies, with regard to the adoption of this committee. Furthermore, most NCs in such companies are not performing all of the roles listed in their Code while the roles currently performed may need to be carried out in a more structured manner. Yet it is highly worthwhile for such companies to devote more attention to the NC, this being one of the best possible bastions of appropriate corporate governance. The change in the status of the NC from being merely recommended by the Code of Principles of Good Corporate Governance to becoming mandatory by the Listing Rules is increasingly called for. In this way, Maltese listed companies will need to embrace such a change. It is hoped that this study will contribute towards fostering more awareness about the NC and the corporate governance of Maltese listed companies.

Published: January 2023

Streszczenie: W artykule omówione są zagadnienia, takie jak: autorstwo, struktura, cel spisania, oprawa artystyczna i całościowa idea, związane z historiograficznym rękopisem XVII-wiecznych karmelitanek bosych: Księga fundacyj klasztorów karmelitanek bosych prowincyjej polskiej Ducha Świętego, znajdującym się w Bibliotece Karmelitanek Bosych w Krakowie, sygn. nr 255. Historiografia zakonna karmelitanek bosych jest w skali piśmiennictwa polskiego epoki staropolskiej wyjątkowym zjawiskiem. Kobiece kroniki pisane były prostym, potocznym i dalekim od wyrafinowanej erudycji językiem, a ich autorki z pasją relacjonowały najważniejsze wydarzenia domowe. Ich zapiski stanowią przykład pamiętnikarstwa domowego, którego bohaterem była zbiorowość. Początkowe części kronik, tzw. małe kroniki, czy krótkie opisania fundacyj miały podniosły i uroczysty charakter. Manuskrypt omawiany w artykule jest zbiorem wszystkich powstałych do 1725 roku kronikarskich „krótkich opisań”, czyli wstępnych części kronik konwentualnych fundacji karmelitańskich w Polsce i na Litwie. Rękopis nr 255 należy do najpiękniejszych manuskryptów zachowanych w zbiorach karmelitanek bosych w Krakowie. Wszystkie elementy rękopisu zdradzają, że został on zaprojektowany jako całościowa, wyjątkowa książka rękopiśmienna, łącząca zróżnicowane techniki graficzne i drukraskie z kluczowymi dla tożsamości zakonnej tekstami założycielskimi. Analiza rękopisu pokazuje zależności manuskryptu z innymi rękopisami z Biblioteki Karmelitanek Bosych i europejskimi tekstami terezjańskimi (Vita effigiata della serafica vergine s[ancta] Teresa di Gesu 1670). Autorka rękopisu projektując książkę, posłużyła się na stronie tytułowej i frontyspisie tekstami poetyckimi. Manuskrypt zawiera krótkie opisy fundacji klasztorów bosaczek w porządku ich powstawania. Różne elementy rękopisu pozwalają wskazać czas jego powstania i twórczynię tej książki, a także proces powstawania i cel pracy. Rękopis ukazuje ambicje twórczyni, środowiska zakonnego i pasję autorki tego pięknego kodeksu.
Muzea Muzea religijne Lwowa przełomu XIX i XX wieku na tle muzeów miejskich i prywatnychLwowa przełomu XIX i XX wieku na tle muzeów miejskich i prywatnych
Authors: Skrzydlewska Beata
Published: January 2023

Historia muzealnictwa lwowskiego jest na tyle bogata, że działalność placówek muzealnych rozpatrywać można w wielu aspektach. Przyczyniła się do tego zapewne specyficzna sytuacja polityczna, religijna, a co za tym idzie i kulturowa tego miasta. Lwów zamieszkiwali przedstawiciele różnych religii, wyznawcy każdej z tych grup postarali się o zorganizowanie własnego muzeum. Działały więc we Lwowie następujące placówki: Muzeum Archidiecezjalne Rzymskokatolickie, Muzeum Instytutu Stauropigialnego, Ukraińskie Muzeum Narodowe, Muzeum Żydowskie i Muzeum Ormiańskie. Podstawę zbiorów stanowiły obiekty wycofane z kultu, poszerzane z czasem o dary i sporadycznie o zakupy. Kolejną ważną grupą na mapie Lwowa są muzea i kolekcje prywatne. Wielu mieszczan, nie tylko tych najbogatszych, rozwijało własne pasje i dawało wyraz swoim zainteresowaniom poprzez gromadzenie kolekcji dzieł sztuki, bogatych zbiorów bibliotecznych, zaś pasjonaci świata przyrody zbierali okazy z pogranicza biologii i geologii. Zbiory te miały zazwyczaj charakter prywatny i dostępne były wyłącznie dla osób indywidualnych. Jednak powstawały też muzea z inicjatywy prywatnych zbieraczy, jak np. Dzieduszyckich, które zostały przekazane miastu i były otwarte dla szerszej publiczności, a także stały się miejscem szeroko zakrojonych badań naukowych.
Cnota męstwa jako kategoria wychowawcza w pedagogice Fryderyka Wilhelma Foerstera
Authors: Kołakowski Andrzej
Published: January 2023

Fryderyk Wilhelm Foerster był jednym z najwybitniejszych pedagogów chrześcijańskich XX wieku. Twórczość pedagogiczna niemieckiego uczonego wywarła niemały wpływ na świadomość polskich wychowawców, a jego publikacje zdobywały sobie polskie serca jeszcze przed odzyskaniem przez Polskę niepodległości. Mimo że nie był katolikiem (przynajmniej formalnie), jego dzieła znalazły miejsca na półkach wielu bibliotek klasztornych. Wszystko to świadczy o nietuzinkowym umyśle, wykraczającym poza utarte schematy. Kluczowym pojęciem dla pedagogiki Foerstera był charakter, który dla uczonego był synonimem tego, co w człowieku stałe i niezmienne, można przyjąć, że był przejawem najgłębszego życia duchowego. Trudno oprzeć się wrażeniu, że fundamentem silnego charakteru jest męstwo pozwalające człowiekowi przeciwstawiać się światu zewnętrznemu, ale też umożlwiające walkę z własnymi słabościami i opieranie się impulsom mającym swoje źródło w życiu popędowym. Refleksja nad tymi zagadnieniami stanowi zasadniczy przedmiot niniejszego artykułu.

Artykuł jest w pewnej mierze fragmentem pracy doktorskiej, przygotowanej pod kierunkiem prof. dr. hab Lechosława Lameńskiego w Katedrze Historii Sztuki Nowoczesnej Instytutu Nauk o Sztuce Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego Jana Pawła II w Lublinie. Mieczysław Górowski zajmował się wieloma aspektami pracy twórczej, którą pojmował bardzo szeroko: malarstwo, projektowanie, teoria sztuki, psychologia, kolekcjonerstwo. U źródeł tego wszystkiego było miejsce pochodzenia – wieś, a zatem: ludowość, obrzędowość i prostota. Niezależnie od tego czym się zajmował, w centrum stawiał człowieka. I nie chodzi o jego zewnętrzne piękno – to go zbytnio nie interesowało. Ciekawił go człowiek jako pewna konfiguracja myśli i emocji. Pochylał się nad każdym i każdego był ciekaw. W artykule omówione aspekty, które stały się podstawą jego twórczości.
Z Polin do Grodu Antenora. Wyprawy żydowskich studentów po nauki do Padwy w czasach I Rzeczypospolitej
Authors: Marchel Sławomir
Published: January 2023

Wśród studiujących w Padwie przybyszy z Rzeczypospolitej Obojga Narodów, o których wiemy z zachowanych archiwaliów uniwersyteckich, znalazło się kilkunastu Żydów. Ich obecność w gronie scholarów uczęszczających na zajęcia medyczne prowadzone w ramach Uniwersytetu Artystów, traktowana jest w historiografii zarówno jako przejaw tolerancji władz Gymnasium Patavinum, jak i dowód na istnienie w państwie polsko-litewskim swobód religijnych niespotykanych w innych zakątkach ówczesnej Europy. W niniejszym artykule, bazując na materiale źródłowym i dotychczasowych ustaleniach badaczy, przedstawiam krótką analizę sytuacji studentów żydowskich, uczących się w padewskim „Ateneum” w XVII i XVIII wieku. Ponadto, śledząc przebieg karier wybranych lekarzy pochodzenia żydowskiego w Rzeczpospolitej, poszukuję odpowiedzi na pytania o inspiracje i pragnienia, tkwiące u podstaw decyzji o podjęciu nauki w Grodzie Antenora.
Mendel Gdański Marii Konopnickiej – rzecz nie o antysemityzmie
Authors: Misiak Małgorzata
Published: January 2023

Nowela Marii Konopnickiej Mendel Gdański powstała w odpowiedzi na prośbę przyjaciółki autorki, Elizy Orzeszkowej. Utwór wpisywał się w ówczesną kampanię publicystyczną w zaborze rosyjskim prowadzoną po to, aby uświadomić społeczeństwu polskiemu zagrożenia płynące z zaimplementowania mu obcych kulturowo postaw. Carska biurokracja, podżegająca do antysemickich wystąpień, podejmowała te działania w interesie imperium po to, by rozbijać i dzielić społeczeństwo polskie. W artykule zwrócono uwagę na konieczność kontekstowego odczytania noweli. Ukazano, jak ważna jest znajomość realiów historycznych, w jakich powstał utwór, oraz znajomość genezy jego powstania. Autorka scharakteryzowała opisanych przez Konopnicką sprawców zamieszek oraz sąsiadów żydowskiej rodziny, dochodząc do wniosku, że niezbędne jest przesunięcie akcentów w odczytaniu przesłania utworu: nie tyle protestu przeciwko antysemityzmowi jako takiemu, co protestu przeciwko zaszczepianiu Polakom wrogości wobec innych.

Las mediciones de precipitación estimadas con fórmulas matemáticas proporcionan información crucial para la aplicación de datos hidrometeorológicos en zonas donde los pluviómetros y pluviógrafos típicos son escasos, por lo que los productos cuadriculados tienen como objetivo proporcionar fuentes de datos alternativos. En el estudio al comparar la precipitación mensual del satélite Integrated Multi-Satellite Retrievals for GPM IMERG con los datos de Peruvian Interpolated data of the SENAMHI’s Climatological and Hydrological Observations PISCOp según el análisis estadístico la precipitación del satélite GPM IMERGDF v6 nos muestra un coeficiente de correlación de 0,73 pero, no cuantifica adecuadamente la intensidad de BIAS resultando ser -27,30%  el cual subestima la precipitación, en tanto RMSE representó 174,01 mm generando una estimación alta. Sin embargo, la evaluación de eventos de precipitación tuvo un promedio siguiente: POD de 0, FAR de 1, ETS de -0,01 y FBI de 0,50 lo cual indica que la gran mayoría de precipitación en realidad no ocurrió, el mismo que es recomendable tener precauciones al momento de utilizar los datos para una buena estimación.

SRL is important for fifth grade students because it becomes a consideration in the learning and teaching process, especially fifth grade students who are faced with the challenges of the next school level. This study aims to analyze the self-regulated learning (SRL) of the fifth grade students of SDN 2 Kadudampit. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a survey method that describes a phenomenon in a particular area. The number of samples used was 33 students of class V. The instrument used was the SRL questionnaire with a Likert scale of 1-5 with alternative gradations of answers strongly agree-strongly disagree. The analysis used is descriptive qualitative analysis. The results of the study show that in general, the SRL ability of class V SDN 2 Kadudampit is in the high category. However, if it is translated based on the indicators, the SRL on the cognitive and self-reflection indicators is indeed in the high category, but the performance indicator shows the medium category. Therefore, efforts are needed from teachers, schools, parents, and students to be able to improve performance in learning through the application of learning models, learning media, parental and teacher guidance, and school policies that support the creation of a positive learning climate.

From Iconoclasm to Museum: Mussolini’s Villa in Rome as a Dictatorial Heritage Site
Authors:   McDonald Institute for Archeological Research, University of Cambridge, U.K., Bartolini Flaminia
Published: January 2023

In the last couple of years, public attitudes towards Fascist material legacies in Italy have been at the centre of a heated debate in the academic world, which has by now grown to involve the press and social media. This paper will look specifically at how this is reflected in a museum display at a heritage site that was once Mussolini’s residence in Rome. The underlying question of this paper is what role museums as heritage sites play in the renegotiation of a problematic past, and whether they can also have an active role in either supporting or challenging the official narrative. As heritage is socially constructed and defined through present circumstances, the narratives of this particular museum reveal a conflicting past as mirrored by the national narrative. The paper also questions whether public perception of this site has changed over time and considers how the recent transformation into a museum signifies a shift from the post-war interpretation, which may or may not reflect a high-level political agenda.

Published: January 2023

The emerging contaminants (ECs) refer to chemical compounds either naturally originated or synthetically modified having potential toxic effects to the environment. The ECs include different pollutants such as biocides, pesticides, pharmaceuticals (antibiotic, analgesics, and hormones) and personal care products (cosmetics, fragrances, and hygiene products). The ECs are considering the top priority pollutants by the European Union (EU) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). Among other materials, the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one of widely used materials for the removal of ECs applying diverse techniques of wastewater decontamination. The momentous advancement of these functional nanostructured materials has found to be cost-effective, reusable, smart materials for the application of ECs removal. The aim of this chapter was to explore the modification routes and advancement of functionalization of CNTs with other functional groups by the reported works. The possible mechanistic insight of ECs removal reactions was also evaluated applying different methods for decontamination reported in the past studies. This review will be significant sources of information of CNTs-based materials for the application of wastewater treatment especially ECs removal from wastewater and ultimate environmental remediation.
