Bolko II the Small the Duke of Świdnica and Jawor and the Order of Cisterians

The article is devoted to the relations of the Duke of Świdnica and Jawor, Bolko II the Small, ruling from 1326 to 1368 with the Cisterians. Basing on source analysis, the author has described the Prince’s bestowals as well as acceptances of various transactions made by the Cisterians of Krzeszów, the village under his rule. Additionally, the relations between the Prince and the monasteries in Lubiąż and Kamieniec Ząbkowicki, possessing land within the Duchy of Świdnica and Jawor, have also been presented. A conclusion may be drawn from this analysis, that Bolko II was taking care of the monastery as it was the burial site for his ancestors’. The other abbeys had been less of interest to him. What is also visible is that the Prince was reluctant to new transfers of land, he was more willing to accept the monks’ transactions.

Antoni Teslar – unknown facts from the renowned chef’s life

Antoni Teslar had been working in the kitchen of the Potocki Family in Krzeszowice for five years. Starting his professional career at the age of thirteen, as a kitchen boy, he could not have imagined that he would end up as one of the most famous Polish chefs of the turn of 19th and 20th centuries. Leaving the service, he wrote down the recipes he used, as if a will, which got published in 1910 as a book titled the Polish-French Cuisine. After his career as a chef ended, he settled down in Krakow, working in trade and selling land. Living a typically bourgeois life, he was soon forgotten as a cook, and today he is sometimes recalled of by the amateurs of culinary history as a French who used to cook for the Potocki Family.
During his service for the Potocki Family, Antoni Teslar did not confine oneself to work only for his employers. He was involved in the life of the culinary environment, used to participate in contests and win prizes at culinary exhibitions, take actions to professionalise and centralise the occupational group of chefs, organise it and initiated its activity, as well as bring up and teach the beginners.
His life, so little known today, is a combination of love for cooking, strong attachment to the Potocki Family, and fondness for social, political and business activity.
Family digital well-being: The prospect of implementing media technology management strategies in Polish homes
Authors: Kopecka-Piech Katarzyna
Published: July 2022

The article determines whether media technology management strategies are being implemented in the homes of Polish families, and what effects they may have. A total of 94 families were examined through four research methods: in-depth interviews with all family members, family diary protocols, individual interviews, and an online questionnaire survey of family representatives. The families were placed into four categories according to their attitude to technology management and daily practices: unconscious and passive, conscious and passive, conscious and ineffective, and conscious and effective. Four main types of media technology management strategies were considered: technology oriented, media content oriented, time oriented, and usage mode oriented. Most surveyed families do not manage to achieve high digital well-being due to a lack of awareness and/or willingness to manage technologies at home, or the ineffectiveness of attempts to reduce them. Conscious and effective families, being minority, consistently pursue diverse and mixed media management strategies.

Keywords: family well-being, digital well-being, mediatization of family life, media management strategies, children and media.

Rodzinny dobrostan cyfrowy: perspektywy wdrażania strategii zarządzania technologiami medialnymi w polskich domach

W artykule określono, czy w domach polskich rodzin są wdrażane strategie zarządzania technologiami medialnymi i jakie niesie to skutki. Na potrzeby projektu przebadano 94 rodziny, stosując cztery metody badawcze: wywiady pogłębione ze wszystkimi członkami rodziny, dzienniczki rodzinne, indywidualne wywiady indywidualne oraz internetowe badanie kwestionariuszowe. Wyodrębniono cztery kategorie rodzin w zależności od ich stosunku do zarządzania technologią i codziennych praktyk: nieświadome i pasywne, świadome i pasywne, świadome i nieskuteczne oraz świadome i skuteczne. Uwzględniono cztery główne typy strategii zarządzania technologiami medialnymi: zorientowane na technologię, zorientowane na treść mediów, zorientowane na czas użycia i zorientowane na sposób użycia. Większości badanych rodzin nie udaje się osiągnąć wysokiego dobrostanu cyfrowego ze względu na brak świadomości i/lub chęci zarządzania technologiami w domu lub nieskuteczność podejmowanych prób ich ograniczenia. Świadome i efektywne rodziny, stanowiące mniejszość, konsekwentnie stosują zróżnicowane i mieszane strategie zarządzania mediami. .

Ultrastructure of the Alveolar Cell Complex of Human Lung and its Functional Correlation: A Review
Authors:   Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Medical College, Kadugondanahalli, 560045, Bengaluru,, Kulkarni Vasudha , Tejaswi H L , Appaji Ashwini C
Published: July 2022

The human lung is a dynamic organ of constant biotransformation. Out of 40 different cell types of lungs, Type‑1 and Type‑2 pneumocytes, pulmonary capillary endothelium, and cells of lung interstitium play a vital role in functioning of the lung. Exploring the structure of these cells would shed light on the pathogenesis of various diseases affecting the lungs. A systematic literature search was conducted using three research databases – Medline, Google Scholar, and Cochrane. Out of ninety articles published between the year 1981 and 2020, 41 articles were included in the study based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Among the cellular components of the alveolar cell complex of the lung, the Type‑2 pneumocytes show versatility in its function in the form of surfactant synthesis, immune reaction, and regenerative capacity. The pathogenesis of the lung injury is due to the loss of functions of the Type‑2 pneumocytes and the intercellular junction functional discrepancy. Irrespective of the cause of lung disease, there is an increase in permeability in the alveolocapillary membrane leading to interstitial edema. This, in turn, leads to hyperventilation, low oxygen saturation, and a decrease in lung capacity. The pericytes present in the interstitium have a preventive role to play in lung injury and potential stem cell function. Keywords: alveolar epithelial cells, capillary endothelium, lung interstitium, type-1 pneumocytes, type-2 pneumocytes

The impact of forest plant communities on the content of heavy metals in soil profiles of the iron ore mining area, Kryvyi Rih District, Ukraine
Authors: Savosko Vasyl , Lykholat Yuriy , Komarova Irina , Yevtushenko Eduard
Published: July 2022

The plant-soil interaction plays an important role in maintaining negative effects of soil pollution by heavy metals (HMs). Understanding HMs spatial variability in soils under plant communities is fundamental for soil restoration and predicting contamination by these elements. In this study, HMs content was estimated based on a soil survey conducted in Kryvyi Rih Iron Ore Mining and Metallurgical District, central Ukraine. The distribution of trace metals within a soil profile and their impacts on forest, steppe and agricultural land plant communities were also assessed. During field work, samples were collected from the whole soil profile (in 10 cm layers down to the parent rock). In total, 21 soil pits were sampled and 273 soil samples were collected. The contents of mobile Fe, Mn and Zn were assessed. The results showed that there was a specific pattern of HMs distribution in soil profile at the local background site of Kryvyi Rih District. The accumulation of HMs in soils in the vicinity of an iron ore mining and processing plant was found. Application of individual and integral indices of pollution demonstrated that Fe, Mn and Zn content was related to mining activity. The plant communities had a great impact on the HMs content in soils. According to the values of individual and integrated indices of pollution the plant communities form the following order: agricultural communities > forest communities > steppe communities. The forest plant communities, due to the presence of organic acids in forest leaf litter, promote the mobilization of heavy metals and may contribute to input of Fe, Mn and Zn irons to deeper soil layers. The differences observed between the plant communities located in the contaminated areas provide useful insight clues into the role and relative importance of major factors determining HMs contents in soil.

Para sarjana naratif modern, seperti Ninian Smart, Paul G. Hiebert, Charles Taylor, James W. Sire, dan James K.A. Smith, menegaskan sentralitas narasi dalam pembentukan identitas dan spiritualitas individu dan masyarakat. Kekuatan narasi hadir dalam dimensi imajinal, yang dimanifestasikan dalam kisah-kisah mitos. Para sarjana di atas mengacu pada pendekatan sosiologis/antropologis, yang sederhananya berorientasi pada disiplin ilmu humaniora. Dengan tetap mengapresiasi studi-studi tersebut, artikel ini bertujuan untuk memberikan kontribusi diskursif di sekitar subjek bahasan—kontribusi yang mempertimbangkan diskursus naratif dan mitos dari perspektif studi biblis, mengingat pentingnya memahami manusia sebagai makhluk yang kompleks dan utuh. Penulis berpegang pada sentralitas teks Kitab Suci untuk menuntun kehidupan dan iman umat Allah karena teks berisi narasi Allah: sebagai fondasi, memori, dan kerangka kerja mitis mereka. Menggunakan konsep “imajinasi profetik” Walter Brueggemann, artikel ini mengajukan metafora kitab suci sebagai sebuah model dalam menghadapi realitas kehidupan kontemporer yang dikelilingi oleh kontestasi-kontestasi naratif.

A Buddhist Bhairava? Kṛtanagara’s Tantric Buddhism in Transregional Perspective
Authors: Acri Andrea , Wenta Aleksandra
Published: July 2022

This article discusses some key aspects of the historical and religious background of the period of Kṛtanagara and his aftermath in East Java and Sumatra. Our analysis is based on a comparative study of Sanskrit, Old Javanese, and Tibetan textual sources and artistic vestiges (“medias”) to highlight the transregional networks of tantric Buddhism (“traditions”) that may have contributed to shape the king’s religio-political agenda. Having identified the enigmatic colossal statue at Padang Roco/Sungai Langsat in Dharmasraya (Central-Western Sumatra) as a Mahākāla bearing Śaiva iconographic contaminations, and as a product of Siṅhasāri-period East Java from Sino-Tibetan prototypes, we revive Moens’ (1924: 557) idea of an association between the icon and Kṛtanagara. Adding to the discussion on the Eastern Indian-style icon of Arapacana Mañjuśrī found near Candi Jago, we highlight further parallels that complement and fine-tune the idea advanced by previous scholars about the commonality of the tantric Buddhist paradigms practiced at the courts of Kṛtanagara and Kublai Khan, and propose that their legacy was adopted by the political elites of the subsequent generation in both Nusantara and China.

The paper presents children’s plays written by Serbian writers whose life, work and origin are connected to Kosovo and Metohija. Unlike poetry and prose, drama as a literary genre is rather neglected and so far had not been thoroughly researched from the literary-critical and literary-historical aspect. The presented playwrights belong to different generations, have different vocations and artistic achievements, but they share the same way of approaching children and youth. Among these twelve writers there are many who have taken this creative act very devotedly and seriously, engaging in professional acting, directing or writing radio dramas, children’s and puppet theater plays (S. Vukanović, R. Knežević, J. Radovanović, B. Stojčetović). This paper is an attempt to pay due attention to Serbian playwrights from our southern province and to make their typologically and genre-diverse dramaturgy (radio play, monodrama, fulllength pieces, ballet librettos, verse dramas, plays) to some extent united and systematized in an adequate way.

Published: July 2022

The socio-economic, political, and even cultural consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic are more than obvious. They affect the whole world and are relevant in all spheres and levels of social and public life. Numerous anti-pandemic measures, mainly the closure of borders, restrictions on the movement of citizens, and isolation hit the businesses and economies of different volumes and intensities. The spheres of tourism and services are special here and the ones where the organization of activities is based on the circulation of people and face-to-face interactions. The effective functioning of a number of social institutions was disrupted. Negative consequences were also relevant in the case of various migration flows. Having been actively involved in the migration for many years, the Armenian society is not immune to the effects of Covid-19. Based on the available literature, articles, reports, various publications and rich statistical data, the article presents in detail the impact of the pandemic on Armenian migration processes. The paper introduces the migration context of Armenia, the effects of the pandemic on the activities of a number of migrants and related groups. Conflicts of adapting to and overcoming the crisis, formal and informal tactics, approaches and practices are analyzed.

Although assessing myocardial viability is a common cardiology practice, many physicians question the results of diagnostic methods. Nuclear medicine plays an important role in viability studies, but the reports require interpretation in a clinical and pathophysiological context. this article was aimed at reviewing the origin and evolution of myocardial viability. Here we present diagnostic methods by emphasizing nuclear medicine and provide a functional explanation of each test type using example images. We also propose how to act in these cases based on clinic examination findings, the percentage of affected myocardium, and coronary lesion topography (proximal or distal).

The left atrial appendage (LAA) is an extension of the left atrium (LA) and has complex anatomical structure and unique pathophysiological properties. The LAA functions as a decompression chamber during left ventricular (LV) systole and under increased left atrial pressure conditions. Despite previously being considered a relatively insignificant portion of the cardiac anatomy, the LAA has been highlighted as an important structure involved in the genesis of thrombus formation and thromboembolic events. With the recent development of percutaneous closure devices, LAA morphology assessments have become increasingly important. This article aims to describe LAA anatomy and morphology, function assessment parameters, thrombus diagnostic challenges, and the main imaging modalities, particularly transesophageal echocardiography.

Published: July 2022

The need to examine the heart using a three-dimensional (3D) tool is not new. This complex and dynamic organ has always required 3D and real-time understanding. Without this feature, the examiner has to transform two-dimensional images to understand its volume, which requires complex knowledge and approximation interactions. Echocardiography was invented three decades ago, and its improvements resulted in commercial products at the beginning of the century. Some studies demonstrate 3D equivalence with gains in handling the necessary time. We use triplane modalities in our routine, with time gain and less stress on the examiner’s upper limb. Thus, 3D examinations can answer more complex questions and provide a more geometric approach to contraction, with thickening being analyzed in the background.

Published: July 2022

Fires are one of the critical factors in the weakening of forests. Given the high share of pine forests in the Zhytomyr Oblast, the conditions for fires are very favourable. Especially intense fires occurred in 2020, when rapid warming occurred in the spring, which in the absence of snow cover and the presence of intense winds in the February-March 2020 increased the fire danger in forests. The purpose of this study is to identify the features of the dynamics of the spread of fires in the forest stands of the Zhytomyr Oblast Department of Forestry and Hunting and assess the meteorological indicators that may affect their spread. Research methods: statistical – when analysing data on meteorological indicators and materials for accounting for forest fires. The study identified the specific features of the dynamics of fire spread in forest stands of Zhytomyr Oblast in 2014-2021. According to the analysis, there was a considerable increase in the number and area of fires in 2020 compared to the average figures for 2014-2019 and 2021 combined. During 2014-2021, 951 fires occurred on a forested area of 43,807.65 hectares. It was revealed that only 448 fires occurred in 2014-2019 and 2021, and 503 fires were recorded in 2020 on an area of 43,229 hectares. Among others, crown fires were recorded on an area of 6,389 hectares in the same 2020 year and on an area of 35.7 hectares in 2019 alone. The largest areas of crown fires were recorded on the territory of the State Enterprise “Ovrutske SF”, State Enterprise “Luhynske forestry”, State Enterprise “Ovrutske forestry” and State Enterprise “Slovechanske forestry”. The indicators of temperature, precipitation, and hydrothermal coefficient for 2014-2021 are analysed. The values of air temperature and precipitation were determined during the growing season, and the hydrothermal coefficient was calculated according to G.T. Selyaninov. The study established that the sum of air temperatures during the growing season was 3,127.6°C on average for 2014-2021. The highest temperature values were recorded during the growing season of 2018. According to the analysis of the amount of precipitation for the growing season 2014-2021, the indicators were set at 323.8 mm. The lowest precipitation rates were recorded in 2015. According to the ratio of temperature and precipitation indicators, the value of G.T. Selyaninov’s hydrothermal coefficient for the growing seasons of 2014-2021 was obtained, the average value of which was 1.04 units

Digitalisation is a modern social and economic reality. The search for efficient pathways to move towards high-quality digital communities’ sustainable development constitutes the scope of current urban research worldwide. Given the need to move towards sustainable urban digitalisation, investigation of its critical influencing factors deserves special attention. However, quantitative empirical studies that avoid subjective judgement on the drivers of sustainable urban digitalisation are lacking. The purpose of this study is to fill this knowledge gap by outlining and quantifying the key factors affecting the sustainable development of the urban digital economy through entropy-TOPSIS modelling. The study takes China’s provinces and cities as an example due to China’s success in digital economy development. It is proposed to use the complex four-dimensional (scientific and technological innovation, economic growth, social development, information infrastructure) system involving 16 sub-indices to measure urban digital economy sustainability. Applying data from 31 Chinese provinces and cities for 2016-2019 and the entropy-TOPSIS model, the development of the technological innovations was found to be the most impacting factor on the urban digital economy sustainability path. The R&D staff engagement and expenditures, goods export and import, and e-commerce sales fuel the urban digital economy sustainability the most, while the number of students, public financial expenditures, and unemployment are the least significant. Results show that the urban digital economy is more a business-driven process than pushed by authorities. The gap between Chinese regions’ digital economy development was identified. This could be explained by the prevalence of conventional industries in several areas and the low level of their digitalisation and indicates the need to enhance interregional cooperation and partnership to promote sustainable development of the country under the digital economy paradigm. Despite China’s context, this research contributes to further science and policy development in this field globally, covering the role of talents, innovations, business R&D investments, interregional cooperation, and multiscale partnership in the promotion of urban digitalisation conducive to sustainability ideas

The urgency of investigating the improvement of solar energy industry efficiency in Ukraine is conditioned upon the exhaustive nature of conventional energy sources and their polluting effect, the availability of the potential for efficient use of solar energy and lower than possible level of its implementation, and by the opportunities of applying the practices of V-4-countries, which are connected with Ukraine geographically, economically, and naturally. The purpose of this study was to identify the main positive elements of the said practices and devise possible development vectors for solar energy industry in Ukraine. The main methods employed in this study are general methods (analysis and synthesis combined with scientific abstraction and generalisation, induction) and special economic and statistical methods (analysis of dynamic series, indexes, comparison). The main results of this study: the author identified the methods for obtaining and using solar energy, established its advantages and disadvantages, trends, rates, and potential of branch development; identified the share of solar energy in the structure of renewable energy on the level of 10%; outlined the importance, state, and trends of solar energy development in Ukraine, its leading role in greening the entire economy using the available favourable conditions, and how this development is relatively low and hampered by the lack of national support, energy accumulation and storage systems, clear and understandable national strategy of its development, outdated practices of green tariffs, instability of public investment policy in the industry, high level of wear of electric networks. In this regard, the aforementioned practices concern the consolidation of the solar energy market to increase its level of regulation; the normalisation of national energy policy and investment climate; the development of the practice of creating solar parks and systems of cogeneration of different types of energy and energy storage systems; replacement of green tariffs by the mechanism of green auctions and other schemes
El mapa digital como interfaz: cartografías (inter)activas
Authors: Garcia Garcia Alejandro , Roig Segovia Eduardo
Published: July 2022

La hegemonía y la proliferación de las tecnologías digitales ha producido la emergencia de una realidad compleja donde cohabitan lo físico y lo digital. En este contexto la cartografía se presenta como un proceso de comunicación de datos vinculados al territorio, visualizados en las interfaces de los dispositivos digitales de los habitantes. El artículo explora cómo a través de la nueva relación humano-máquina emergen nuevas prácticas cartográficas interactivas a través de las cuales el usuario aporta una capa informacional sobre la descripción territorial inicial cuyas dinámicas operativas le permiten compartirla con otros usuarios conectados. En un estadio más avanzado, y mediante la retroalimentación del mensaje cartográfico, la cartografía digital se presenta como una herramienta táctica para la interacción del habitante con el territorio, renovando los vínculos que los unen entre sí y con el resto de la multitud conectada.
Recreational caving impacts of visitors in a high-altitude cave in Bolivian Andes: main effects on microhabitat structure and faunal distribution

The cave’s physical environment can be affected by tourism activities but only a few studies evaluated how recreational use may affect the cave fauna, mainly in caves with a low number of visitors per year. To test the hypothesis that recreational use led to changes in habitat structure and invertebrate diversity, distinct scales along a cave were analyzed. Distinct areas with and without human visitation were analyzed and transects (10 x 3 m) and quadrats (1 x 1 m) were used to access the invertebrate communities and environmental traits. Thirty-two invertebrate species were recorded, among which six are troglobitic. The similarity of non- troglobitic species differed between the visited and non-visited areas. Substrate composition inside transects differed between the two areas and the differences were higher in the percentage of matrix rock and fine sediments. The distance from the entrance influenced the similarity of non-troglobitic species while troglobitic fauna responded to the proportion of sandy sediment. Inside quadrats, both matrix rock and fine sediments influenced the similarity of non-troglobitic species. Similarity of non-troglobitic species in the visited area was explained by the proportion of matrix rock in transects and quadrats. The proportion of cobbles influenced the similarity of non-troglobitic species in quadrats in the non-visited area. The non-troglobitic species richness inside quadrants was positively related to the amount of guano, wood, fine sediment, boulders, cobbles, matrix rock, sand sediment, and plant debris. Differentiation in habitat structure and faunal composition between the two areas seems to be an effect of distance from the entrance and spatial heterogeneity, but not recreational activities.
Fighting for Attention Through Rap Music: Shock-Value, Racial Play and Web Culture in the Persona of Tyler, The Creator
Authors: Marques Gustavo Souza
Published: July 2022

Tyler, The Creator (Tyler Gregory Okonma), is a Grammy-awarded African American rapper, music producer and entrepreneur who has been vigorously challenging tropes of black American masculinity; mainly through his internet savvy and smart use of audio-visual digital platforms such as YouTube. From chattel slavery to blackface minstrelsy, the African diasporic experience in the West is marked by a series of stigmas, contradictions and dichotomies evidenced in the challenge of being black in a white world. This duplicity denounced by seminal scholars such as W.E.B. DuBois and Frantz Fanon informs the theoretical framework of this article but also reflects most of Tyler’s investments in subverting American whiteness and blackness in his audio-visual performances. Not by chance, identity is central in our current digital era and so it is prominent in web culture which is marked by the constant exposition of one’s persona and its ephemerality in the vast ocean of data. Tyler, as one of the first YouTube music phenomena, knew how to expose and at the same time rework his own contradictions as an African American artist by constantly juxtaposing, shifting and remodeling his own discourses and persona in the digital environment. In this article, I discuss his strategies by inquiring into why his early shock-value ethos and persistent racial play are relevant to connect with fans and expose his artistic productions in our current postmodern times.
How Black Creators Stopped The Clock on TikTok
Authors: Ile Yvonne
Published: July 2022

Between June and July 2021, a number of Black creators band­ed together on TikTok and withheld from creating content – they went on strike. This sudden protest came after outcries from Black creators, who claimed that they created many of the viral dances on the platform, whilst their white counterparts received the accolades. I propose that this strike is a result of underlying bias, antagonisms and an unresolved histo­ry of musical and artistic plagiarism from Black creators. Inspired by how race is presented in the media and focusing on novel media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, I assert that creative works by Black creators and subsequently their ownership, use and replication, need to be studied within popular culture.
