Background: Road traffic accidents are currently among the most essential public health issues. According to the World Health Organization, given the rapid growth of road transport globally, road traffic accidents could be the third leading cause of death and disability in the world by 2020. This article examined the role of the human factor in road accidents during the Nowruz holidays, as a major cultural event in Iran. Materials and Methods: We explored the data of road accidents that occurred in Nowruz in 2016 and 2017 in Iran. Traffic accident data concerning the Nowruz holidays of 2016 and 2017 were collected by census method of sampling and based on the report of highway police. Additionally, the frequency of these accidents was analyzed according to travel time, accident type, gender, age, education, and vehicle type in different provinces. Results: The present study findings suggested that among human factors affecting Nowruz accidents in 2016 and 2017, the highest frequency belonged to unnecessary speeding. As in 2016 and 2017, it was the main responsible characteristic for 56.42% and 55.01% of accidents, respectively. In Nowruz 2016, the provinces of Tehran, Khorasan Razavi, Isfahan, Fars, and Khuzestan; in Nowruz 2017, the provinces of Tehran, Isfahan, Khorasan Razavi, Fars, and Gilan encountered the highest rates of accidents leading to injuries and deaths. Conclusion: To control unnecessary speeding and regulations disregard, planning for culturizing and the community-level education are suggested. Besides, increasing the quality and intelligence of vehicles and the construction of sliders, vertical lines on the road, warning signs, and billboards could help reduce the rate of accidents. Creating a working group of experts in psychology, traffic, etc., to study the pathology of dangerous behaviors, useless haste, and disregard for regulations and providing solutions could also be effective.

The current study was developed to explore the construct and validity of the Healthy Lifestyle Questionnaire (HLQ) among the Iranian elderly who receive home care services. Methods & Materials: This combinatory, sequential exploratory study was conducted for creating a lifestyle measuring tool among the elderly in Tehran City, Iran, in 2018. The research was performed in 4 steps including the following: studying semi-structured texts and interviews (the elderly & specialists); extracting fields and factors related to lifestyle; validity examination, and the final assessment on the target community (reliability). To check the validity, ratio tests were implemented by the expert's panel (n=20 in 8 different specialty fields related to the elderly's treatment). Besides, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was implemented to check the scale’s reliability (n=40). SPSS was also used for the statistical analysis of the collected data. Results: The agreed limit for the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) was selected as 42% according to the specialist's number. Accordingly, out of 130 extracted questions, only 69 questions, CVR point was more than the agreed limit (CVR≥0.42). Thus, the remained question's CVR point equaled 52.5, by dividing it by the number of remained questions. CVI was calculated to be 0.76 for the whole questionnaire. Moreover, CVI was more than the agreed limit for all the questions in 11 fields (CVI≥0.76). Lifestyle’s Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.979) was >0.7. Conclusion: The Elderly's Healthy Lifestyle Questionnaire (EHLSQ) has appropriate reliability and validity for assessing lifestyle in the elderly. It can be used to evaluate lifestyle among the elderly in various studies.

Published: December 2020

In the present study, microbiological quality of biscuits from street side bakery shops at Dehardun city, India was conducted. A total 11 samples of bakery biscuits were collected randomly and analysed for their microbiologically quality by standard plate count method. Pure cultures of bacterial isolates were prepared by streaking on nutrient agar medium. Bacterial isolates were further studied for morphological characters, culture characters on nutrient agar medium and biochemical testes in laboratory. All samples studies were found contaminated by a variety of bacteria. The highest bacterial load was 2.2 ×105 cfu/g and lowest was 0.1×103 cfu/g, respectively. Morphological observation, culture characters and results of biochemical tests of bacterial isolates were compared with standard results of known bacteria. The bacterial isolated were identified as Alcaligenes faecalis, Bacillus cereus, Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus lactis and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. Among these, two isolates i.e., A. faecalis and P. aeruginosa were gram negative and other isolates were gram positive bacteria which suggested the poor hygienic conditions inside the bakery during preparation and storage of biscuits. Gram positive bacteria might be contaminated during storage and by bad handling. These food spoiling bacteria might be responsible for food-borne infection and diseases. Therefore, care should be taken while purchasing such products and should be purchased from certified bakery shop.

Alternative Method for Treatment of Wastewater in Textile industry : Review
Authors: Agrawal V. S. , Jadhav S.
Published: December 2020

In the early days of industrial revolution the waste water generated was simply passed to water bodies like rivers, wells, etc. which was fine for that time as the amount of wastewater generated was very less. The process of dilution was the principle and water purification used to take place by surrounding environment of water called as self-purification of streams. But as soon as the more and more industries were established it was seen that the self-purification process fails to purify water because the quantity of wastewater flown in water bodies was much more than its capacity to purify it. Hence there was a need of effluent treatment plants. Textile industry creates a lot of wastewater having very high amount of color. The color present in water reduces its acceptability aesthetically. Also the color present in water hampers the process of photosynthesis for the plants and other photosynthetic species if directly discharged in water bodies. The textile wastewater also has very high pH, COD, BOD

„Gdy Żyd znalazł się po aryjskiej stronie, miał przed sobą dwie ewentualności: zostać «na powierzchni» albo pójść pod ziemię” – zapisał jesienią 1943 roku Emanuel Ringelblum. Sam próbował tej drugiej możliwości ratunku. Ukrywał się przez rok, z blisko 40 innymi osobami w schronie „Krysia” wybudowanym pod oranżerią przy willi na Grójeckiej w Warszawie. Badania Małgorzaty Melchior obejmują tę grupę polskich Żydów, którzy przeżyli Zagładę „na powierzchni”, dzięki przybraniu aryjskiej tożsamości. Przeprowadza 26 wywiadów z osobami (5 mężczyzn i 21 kobiet), którzy świadomie podjęli decyzję o ukrywaniu się. Analizuje też zgromadzone w archiwach relacje Ocalonych oraz publikowane i niepublikowane wspomnienia.

Authors: Koźmińska-Frejlak Ewa
Published: December 2020

Lektura świadectw Zagłady doskonale obrazuje trudności, jakie napotyka dążenie do sformułowania „wzoru na przeżycie”. Próba generalizacji w konfrontacji z indywidualnym, unikalnym losem, zawsze budzi lęk, że przy okazji zagubimy jakiś istotny, nieuchwytny rys specyficzny dla twórcy zapisu. Opór wynika również z obawy, że wskazując na zbiór czynników sprzyjających ocaleniu, wprowadzamy mimowolnie do naszych rozważań element wartościujący. Jeżeli bowiem rzeczywiście działało jakieś prawo „selekcji” (abstrahując od sensu przypisanego temu słowu przez Niemców), to na czyją rzecz – tych lepszych czy gorszych? A co z osobami, które spełniały warunki „wzoru”, a mimo to zginęły?
Paweł Kendziorek, Antysemityzm a społeczeństwo mieszczańskie
Authors: Grabski August
Published: December 2020

Praca Piotra Kendziorka Antysemityzmu a społeczeństwo mieszczańskie. W kręgu interpretacji neomarksistowskich jest ambitną próbą sformułowania całościowej teorii nowoczesnego antysemityzmu na gruncie lewicowej teorii krytyki społecznej (przede wszystkim Szkoły Frankfurckiej, marksizmu strukturalnego, zainspirowanych marksizmem badań nad rasizmem, tradycji badawczej M. Foucaulta). Autor uważa, że powstanie antysemityzmu było związane z dominującą ideologią kapitalistycznych państw narodowych, zaś rasizm służył uzasadnieniu i nadaniu charakteru quasi-naturalnego sytuacji grup podporządkowanych w społeczeństwie „mieszczańskim”. Równocześnie odrzuca on popularne obecnie ujęcie, polegające na swoistym dedukowaniu koncepcji rasistowskich z ogólnego pojęcia nowoczesności jako synonimu dążenia do totalnego „uporządkowania” świata społecznego przez siły panujące w sferze administracji (państwo) i idei (intelektualiści). Wynika to z przekonania, że nie istnieje jedna matryca ideowa nowoczesności, zaś dominujące dyskursy władzy tej epoki, w tym rasizm, należy badać na kilku różnych poziomach: dyskursu ideologicznego, praktyk stricte materialnych oraz mechanizmów psychologicznych, charakterystycznych dla typów osobowościowych, jakie kształtuje społeczeństwo kapitalistyczne.
The Encyclopedia of the Righteous Among the Nations: Rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust – Poland, Yad-Vashem, Jerusalem 2005
Authors: Janczewska Marta
Published: December 2020

Stosunki polsko-żydowskie podczas drugiej wojny światowej – to temat w szczególny sposób złożony i obciążony emocjami. Nawet jednak w najbardziej zażartej dyskusji dotyczącej tej problematyki strony milkną, gdy przywołane zostaną sylwetki Sprawiedliwych wśród Narodów Świata. Od roku 1963, kiedy Instytut Yad Vashem rozpoczął przyznawanie tytułu Sprawiedliwego wśród Narodów Świata, odznaczenie to otrzymało ponad 20 000 osób. Ponad 5300 spośród nich (dane na koniec 2000 roku) to Polacy. Po tomach prezentujących Sprawiedliwych z Holandii i Francji, staraniem Instytutu Yad Vashem do rąk badaczy i szerokiego kręgu czytelników trafia właśnie dwutomowa encyklopedia poświęcona Polakom uhonorowanym tym zaszczytnym tytułem.Książka w porządku alfabetycznym prezentuje kolejnych Sprawiedliwych, opatrując każde nazwisko (lub kilka nazwisk, w zależności od liczby osób zaangażowanych w konkretny przypadek) rodzajem noty biograficznej. Noty mają charakter narracyjny i ogniskują się na historii ratowania. W krótkich z konieczności zapisach autorzy starali się jak najpełniej ukazać sylwetkę Sprawiedliwego, jego status ekonomiczny, wykształcenie, poglądy i związane z nimi motywacje ratowania, oraz możliwie wiernie przedstawić historię pomocy, wskazać jej przebieg i okoliczności. Wszystkie hasła osobowe Encyklopedii... powstały jedynie w oparciu o akta, jakie każdy Sprawiedliwy posiada w Archiwum Instytutu Yad Vashem. Wiele not opatrzonych jest zdjęciem bohatera. Rozbudowany wstęp o charakterze historyczno-socjologicznym pióra profesora Israela Gutmana, mapa oraz słownik podstawowych pojęć przybliżają nawet zupełnie niezorientowanemu w temacie czytelnikowi złożoność stosunków polsko-żydowskich przed drugą wojną światową oraz przedstawiają mu realia okupowanej Polski, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem reakcji Polaków na Holokaust. Autorzy Encyklopedii... zdecydowali się na prezentację sylwetek Sprawiedliwych, którzy zostali uhonorowani do końca 1999 roku. Jako że Instytut Yad Vashem kontynuuje nadawanie tytułu, spodziewany jest w przyszłości suplement, prezentujący kolejne postaci.

Współpraca Niemieckiego Instytutu Historycznego w Warszawie z Instytutem Pamięci Narodowej ma już kilkuletnią tradycję. Również w tym roku doszło do dwóch bardzo udanych przedsięwzięć naukowych, wypełniających w pewnym sensie istniejące jeszcze „białe plamy” zarówno w polskiej, jak i zachodnioeuropejskiej historiografii.Pomiędzy 25 a 27 lutego 2005 roku odbyła się w Poznaniu międzynarodowa konferencja „Polska pod niemiecką i sowiecką okupacją 1939-1945”. Naukowcy nie tylko z Polski i Niemiec, ale również ze Stanów Zjednoczonych, Izraela, Wielkiej Brytani i Federacji Rosyjskiej zaprezentowali tam w pięciu sekcjach tematycznych wyniki swoich najnowszych badań naukowych w ujęciu komparatystycznym. W ramach pierwszego bloku tematycznego dr Sergiej Slutsch i dr Marek Kornat omówili różne drogi obu reżimów totalitarnych do paktu Ribbentrop-Mołotow, który zaowocował kolejnym rozbiorem Polski. Profesorowie Czesław Madajczyk i Albin Głowacki przedstawili ogólne założenia niemieckiej i sowieckiej okupacji terenów polskich w czasie drugiej wojny światowej, a dr Antony Polonsky zaprezentował złożone stanowisko zachodnich aliantów do powstałej w ten sposób „sprawy polskiej” w latach 1939-1945.
Jan Błoński "Biedni Polacy patrzą na getto” w 20 lat później
Authors: Głowiński Michał
Published: December 2020

Autor snuje refleksję nad esejem Jana Błońskiego Biedni Polacy patrzą na getto z perspektywy niemal dwudziestu lat od jego publikacji na łamach „Tygodnika Powszechnego”. Zwraca uwagę na nowatorski charakter ujęcia problematyki polsko-żydowskiej w kontekście moralnym, poza wszelkimi uwikłaniami politycznymi. Głos Błońskiego jest wyjątkowy ze względu na to, że w duchu ewangelii uznaje rozważania nad kwestią stosunków polsko-żydowskich za zadanie kluczowe dla całego społeczeństwa polskiego, zadanie, które należy odrobić. Esej ten pozostaje, jak twierdzi Głowiński, wolny od uwikłania w dualizm mitu negatywnego i pozytywnego tych stosunków. Autor pisze o reakcjach jakie wywołał, o licznych odpowiedziach nadsyłanych do redakcji i wskazuje szczególnie na jeden polemiczny głos, w którym słyszy zinternalizowaną ideologię nacjonalistyczną i niebezpieczne trwanie dyskursu endeckiego. Szkic Głowińskiego zamyka post scriptum, w którym autor odwołuje się do innego artykułu, opublikowanego w roku 2006 na łamach „Gazety Wyborczej” a dotyczącego aktualnej kwestii polityki historycznej, dla której zwolenników jeden z negatywnych puntów odniesienia stanowi esej Błońskiego. Autor zauważa, że esej ten nieprzerwanie budzi żywe emocje i jako wyraz patriotyzmu krytycznego ma nadal swoich zagorzałych przeciwników.

Artykuł porusza problem najgłośniejszej zbrodni politycznej, dokonanej w łonie konspiracji niepodległościowej w czasie okupacji ziem polskich przez Niemcy. 13 czerwca 1944 r. zamordowani zostali przez patrol oddziału dywersyjnego „Andrzeja Sudeczki” Ludwik Widerszal i Jerzy Makowiecki wraz z żoną. Obaj byli eksponowanymi oficerami Biura Informacji i Propagandy Komendy Głównej Armii Krajowej, wywierającymi duży wpływ na oblicze ideowe tej ważnej agendy polskiej podziemnej armii. Obaj skrytobójczo zamordowani byli jednocześnie działaczami politycznymi związanymi z lewicującym Stronnictwem Demokratycznym, oskarżanym o sprzyjanie sowietom i kryptokomunizm. Autor wykazuje, że posądzenia o zdradę czy uleganie wpływom komunistycznym kierowane w stronę Makowieckiego i Widerszala nie mają żadnych podstaw w materiale źródłowym. Wynikały one z uprzedzeń i niedomówień, które łatwo rodziły się w dusznej atmosferze konspiracji, gdy nie można było prowadzić otwartej dyskusji politycznej ze względu na terror niemieckich władz okupacyjnych.

Od czasu gdy przed kilkunastu laty Andrzej Krzysztof Kunert odrzucił ostatecznie tezę o inspiracji mordu przez Narodowe Siły Zbrojne, wskazując na „głęboko zakonspirowaną grupę mafijną”, wykorzystującą kilku wysoko postawionych konspiratorów, wiemy, że owa grupa składała się z trzech ludzi. Pewne jest również to, że co najmniej dwóch: Witold Bieńkowski i Władysław Jamontt (byli to zasłużeni i dzielni konspiratorzy, a jednocześnie ludzie o dużych ambicjach politycznych) działali całkowicie świadomie, realizujących plan polityczny, który miał – według ich mniemania – zablokować wpływy polityczne BiP-u w podziemiu i zapewnić im jakieś profity. Wskazanie innych winnych – ewentualnego zaplecza spisku jest niemożliwe. Autor szczegółowo analizuje okoliczności śledztwa prowadzonego przez władze podziemia i zastanawia się nad rzeczywistym motywem zbrodni. Odrzuca on tezę o inspiracji ideowej zbrodni przez NSZ. Śmierć zasłużonych konspiratorów i patriotów: Makowieckiego i Widerszala, zastrzelonych w niesławie zdrajców była beznadziejną próbą włączenia się Bieńkowskiego i Jamontta, identyfikujących zagrożenia nie tam gdzie było. Prawdziwy wróg – moskiewska agentura, silnie zakonspirowana w szeregach Delegatury i AK pozostała niewykryta, czekając cierpliwie na przybycie armii sowieckiej.
Nazistowski mord na Żydach w prasie polskich komunistów (1942–1944).
Authors: Friedrich Klaus Peter
Published: December 2020

Facing the decisive struggle between Nazism and Soviet communism for dominance in Europe, in 1942/43 Polish communists sojourning in the USSR espoused anti-German concepts of the political right. Their aim was an ethnic Polish ‘national communism’. Meanwhile, the Polish Workers’ Party in the occupied country advocated a maximum intensification of civilian resistance and partisan struggle. In this context, commentaries on the Nazi judeocide were an important element in their endeavors to influence the prevailing mood in the country: The underground communist press often pointed to the fate of the murdered Jews as a warning in order to make it clear to the Polish population where a deficient lack of resistance could lead. However, an agreed, unconditional Polish and Jewish armed resistance did not come about.

At the same time, the communist press constantly expanded its demagogic confrontation with Polish “reactionaries” and accused them of shared responsibility for the Nazi murder of the Jews, while the Polish government (in London) was attacked for its failure. This antagonism was intensified in the fierce dispute between the Polish and Soviet governments after the rift which followed revelations about the Katyn massacre. Now the communist propaganda image of the enemy came to the fore in respect to the government and its representatives in occupied Poland. It viewed the government-in-exile as being allied with the “reactionaries,” indifferent to the murder of the Jews, and thus acting ultimately on behalf of Nazi German policy. The communists denounced the real and supposed antisemitism of their adversaries more and more bluntly. In view of their political isolation, they coupled them together, in an undifferentiated manner, extending from the right-wing radical ONR to the social democrats and the other parties represented in the underground parliament loyal to the London based Polish government. Thereby communist propaganda tried to discredit their opponents and to justify the need for a new start in a post-war Poland whose fate should be shaped by the revolutionary left. They were thus paving the way for the ultimate communist takeover

Księdza Stanisława Musiała zmagania z pamięcią
Authors: Weksler-Waszkinel Romuald Jakub
Published: December 2020

Wymienionego w tytule księdza spotkałem tylko dwa razy. Przy drugim spotkaniu rozmawiałem z nim dłużej – ponad godzinę spacerowaliśmy po ogrodzie, okalającym dom księży jezuitów, w Krakowie, przy ulicy Kopernika, gdzie ks. Stanisław mieszkał. Było to w  lipcu 2003 roku. – Ta jedyna rozmowa była dla mnie bardzo ważna; do jej tematu mieliśmy powrócić. Niestety, nie było mi to dane. W dniu 15 marca, 2004 r. uczestniczyłem w Jego pogrzebie. Mszę św., w przepełnionej wiernymi bazylice Serca Jezusa, koncelebrowało 87 księży, pod przewodnictwem kardynała Franciszka Macharskiego, wówczas arcybiskupa-metropolity krakowskiego; uczestniczyli w niej również: biskup ewangelicko-reformowany i pastor augsbursko-ewangelicki. Główny celebrans poprowadził także ceremonie pogrzebowe na cmentarzu, gdzie ks. Musiała żegnały tłumy jeszcze liczniejsze. Czymś zupełnie nadzwyczajnym była obecność na cmentarzu dużej grupy Żydów, przybyłych nie tylko z Polski, ale również z Izraela. Pośród znakomitości świata żydowskiego obecnych było 3 rabinów: główny rabin Polski, rabin Krakowa i chasydzki rabin z Jerozolimy; ten ostatni na grobie Księdza odśpiewał kadisz. Żydów krakowskich reprezentował przewodniczący tamtejszej Gminy. Obecny był również ambasador Izraela w Polsce, David Peleg.

Bu çalışma kadın futsal oyuncularında motorik performans ilişkisini araştırmak amacıyla yapıldı. Çalışmaya 19-22 yaş arası toplam 9 kadın futsal oyuncusu gönüllü olarak katıldı. Sporcuların dayanıklılık performanslarını belirlemek için yo-yo aralıklı toparlanma testi I (YIRT I) ile ivmelenme, sürat, çeviklik ve dikey sıçrama testleri uygulandı. Verilerin normal dağılıma uygunlukları için ‘Shapiro-Wilk’ testi yapıldı. Verilerin normal dağılım göstermediği bulundu. Bu nedenle normal dağılım göstermeyen verilerin korelasyon analizinde ‘Spearman Sıra Korelasyon Katsayısı’ kullanıldı. İstatistiksel anlamlılık için eşik değer olarak 0.05 – 0.01 p değeri belirlendi. YIRT1 ile ivmelenme, sürat, çeviklik ve dikey sıçrama performansları arasında istatistiksel anlamda ilişki olmadığı tespit edildi (p>0.05). Sonuç olarak, bu çalışmada kadın futsal oyuncuların motorik performansları arasında ilişki olmadığı bulundu.

Authors: Ardianto Puthut , Yuliyanto Muhamat Ridho
Published: December 2020

In communicative language teaching, role play has become one of the most well-known activities among language teachers. In fact, in higher educational context, role play is considered to be a good method to facilitate learners’ oral proficiency. However, the researchers often found some teachers assign too demanding and unclear role play. In fact, some students complained about the implementation of role play at the department. This research aims at revealing students’ responses when having role play as their group assignment in English classes. A descriptive qualitative design was employed to obtain the research objectives, namely how role play was implemented in the eyes of students and what responses they gave to its assignment. To gather the data, an interview was conducted to one male participant and two female participants taking the Literary Appreciation course at one English Department of a private Islamic university in Yogyakarta. Based on the interview, nine stages were implemented in assigning role play.They are announcing the assignment; distributing materials for role play; modelling the role play; grouping; distributing roles; giving time to prepare the play; creating a role play;having the performance; and giving feedback. Also, there were six responses from students towards the assignment namely happy; not bored; shocked; entertained; anxious; and enthusiastic.
The Hypertextual Gateway of Elite Chinese Universities: A Genre Analysis of the ‘About’ Webpages
Authors: Wu Yinqi , Cheong Cecilia Yin Mei
Published: December 2020

This article reports a genre study of the “About” webpages published in the websites of nine elite Chinese universities (the C9 League). This study explored the macro-level rhetorical structure and communicative purposes, followed by a micro-level discussion of the discursive strategies employed in this institutionalised genre. The findings reveal a dynamic interweaving of two distinct discursive resources – linguistic and multimodal – rhetorically organised through the interplay between the mixing of thirteen move types and various interdiscursive elements. The analytical results indicate that the trend of marketisation, other than a predominant rhetorical feature of being informative, indeed influences the institutional web structuring through employing branding strategies to promote academic excellence as well as strengthen relationship with web readers. The dynamic interactions unfolded by this research not only deepen users’ knowledge of a previously undiscovered yet discursively complex web genre, but also contribute to theoretical and methodological development in genre studies in this digital era.
