The Effect of Fishing Basin Construction On the Behaviour of a Footbrdge Over the Port Channel
Authors: Pyrzowski Łukasz , Miśkiewicz Mikołaj , Chróścielewski Jacek 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The paper analyses possible causes of failure of the rotating footbridge over the Ustka port channel. In July, 2015, strange behaviour of this object was observed in the form of excessive vibrations of bridge platform suspension rods, with the accompanying acoustic effects. A preliminary geotechnical analysis has revealed that this destructive effect was caused by the nearby construction works, namely construction of a fishing basin and communication routes in the area close to the bridge, which affected the bridge lashing rod foundation settings. Ground vibrations generated by certain construction activities were likely to have direct impact on decreasing the bearing capacity of these rods and increasing the susceptibility od the piles to extraction. After detecting the above problems in bridge operation, its geodetic monitoring was started. The data recorded during this monitoring, along with the results of force measurements in the rods, have made the basis for a series of numerical simulations, performed in the Finite Element Method (FEM) formalism. The bridge structure was analysed in the conditions defined as the emergency state. Extreme efforts of bridge elements and its dynamic characteristics were examined. A possible source of strange behaviour of the footbridge during its operation which was recognised during these simulations was the coincidence of the global natural frequency of the entire bridge structure with local vibrations of suspension rods, at the frequency approximately equal to 1 Hz. This situation was likely to lead to the appearance of the so-called internal resonance phenomenon. As a final conclusion of the research, recommendations were formulated on possible object oriented corrective actions.

Abstract
This paper presents results of the research of effect of polymer insulation of pipeline made of API 5L X65M steel as well as underwater wet welding parameters on properties of joints made by covered electrodes. Effect of heat input on structure and hardness of joints during repair of underwater pipeline was analyzed. Welding defects like microcracks, micro-lacks of fusion, slag inclusions, as well as HAZ hardness increase over an assumed acceptance criterion for welded joints in pipes without anticorrosion polymer insulation, were identified. A significant effect of polimer insulation on structure and properties of welded joints, was found.
Living and Working Beneath the Sea – Next Approach
Authors: Rowiński Lech 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The idea of living beneath the sea is very new if compared with millennia of shipping activity. In fact, ocean surface was considered mainly as medium suitable for transport of persons and goods as well as aggression and robbery. More practical attempts to live “on” the water surface are limited to well protected internal waters.
The presented concept of “an underwater-above water accommodation, especially for residential purposes” proposes a possible solution. It was developed under the name of “Water Discus”. To some extent it is a response to expressed requirements of potential operators as well ideas of European Commision regarding development of the “blue economy” (doc COM (2014) 254). Several basic research and design experiments were required to achieve current understanding of the concept requirements..
Technical State Assessment of Charge Exchange System of Self-Ignition Engine, Based On the Exhaust Gas Composition Testing
Authors: Rudnicki Jacek , Zadrąg Ryszard 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
This paper presents possible use of results of exhaust gas composition testing of self - ignition engine for technical state assessment of its charge exchange system under assumption that there is strong correlation between considered structure parameters and output signals in the form of concentration of toxic compounds (ZT) as well as unambiguous character of their changes. Concentration of the analyzed ZT may be hence considered to be symptoms of engine technical state. At given values of the signals and their estimates it is also possible to determine values of residues which may indicate a type of failure. Available tool programs aimed at analysis of experimental data commonly make use of multiple regression model which allows to investigate effects and interaction between model input quantities and one output variable. Application of multi-equation models provides great freedom during analysis of measurement data as it makes it possible to simultaneously analyze effects and interaction of many output variables. It may be also implemented as a tool for preparation of experimental material for other advanced diagnostic tools such as neural networks which, in contrast to multi-equation models, make it possible to recognize a state at multistate classification and - in consequence - to do diagnostic inference. Here , these authors present merits of application of the above mentioned analytical tools on the example of tests conducted on an experimental engine test stand.

Published: June 2017

Abstract
Introduction: In order to avoid hypoglycaemia, individuals diagnosed with type 1 diabetes usually limit their physical activity, which might lead to changes in somatic build and in the level of muscle strength. The aim of the study was to define somatic build, hand grip strength and physical activity in patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
Materials and methods: The study included 24 patients with type 1 diabetes and 24 healthy individuals. Body build was assessed on the basis of 20 somatic features and indices. Somatic types were assessed using the Sheldon’s method modified by Heath-Carter. Hand grip strength was measured with hand grip dynamometer, while physical activity was evaluated by means of a questionnaire survey.
Results: The results obtained from female subjects showed insignificant intergroup differences concerning the measured features. Endomorphy was a predominant component among female somatotypes. Compared to the healthy controls, males with type 1 diabetes exhibited lower values of arm circumference (tensed), thigh circumference, ankle width and mesomorphy as well as hand grip strength (p<0.05). The diabetic patients preferred cycling while healthy people opted for combat sports.
Conclusions: Differences in somatic build, hand grip strength and physical activity between healthy individuals and patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes were greater in the case of men than women. Compared to healthy individuals, diabetic men exhibited lower values of somatic features that are typical of mesomorphy and muscle strength. Both women and men diagnosed with type 1 diabetes preferred low-intensity and aerobic physical activity.

Published: June 2017

Abstract
Introduction: Sport for people with disabilities has interested scientists for a long time. However, there is a scarcity of research on the subject of amputee football – football adapted to individuals after amputations. The aim of the study was to describe this sport and to review research carried out in this field so far.
When looking for investigations on amputee football, the available computer databases (Academic Search Complete, SPORTdiscus, MEDLINE, Health Source, Master-FILE Premier) were searched comprehensively. The following key words were used to identify proper articles: amputee football, football + amputations, crutch football. Also, the following article inclusion criteria were applied: (A) original scientific paper, (B) available full text of paper, (C) paper published in a peer-reviewed journal, (D) paper published in the English language. Eleven articles that met the criteria were selected for the analysis.
Description of amputee football: The description of amputee football included the history of the sport in the world and in Poland, rules of the game and players’ classification.
Amputee football in research: The articles selected for the review were divided into three categories: 1) psychological and social aspects, 2) anthropomotorics and nutrition, 3) endurance, physical capacity and speed abilities. .
Summary: The majority of studies carried out so far have focused on general characteristics of amputee football players and the effects of this sport on the functioning of individuals after amputations. Future studies ought to involve injury-related aspects as well as training effectiveness on the basis of physiological parameters.

Abstract
This article includes current information on the use of modern IT solutions and virtual-reality (VR)-based technologies in medical rehabilitation. A review of current literature on VR-based interventions and their indications, benefits and limitations in patients with nervous system diseases was conducted. The popularity of VR-based training as a tool used for rehabilitation of patients with acute and chronic deficits in both sensory-motor and cognitive disorders is increasing. Still, there is a need for large randomized trials to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VR-based rehabilitation techniques in different disease entities. .
The Philosophia perennis of Hellenistic Christianity: Theological and Ecumenical Implications of Fr. Georges V. Florovsky’s View
Authors: Toroczkai Ciprian Iulian , Andrei Olivia 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
This article presents the features and meaning of the phrase „Christian Hellenism”, as it has been elaborated in the thinking of the Russian patrologist Georges V. Florovsky. He has based his thesis, namely that of the “radically Christianized” or “Churchified,” “New Hellenism” on three main points: 1) faith is always asserted in a “philosophical system”; 2) Semitic thinking is not radically opposed to Hellenism, because Judaism itself in Jesus’s time was a Hellenised Judaism; 3) Greek philosophy was the fertile, even providential environment in which Christianity could formulate and express its own experience. The result was a philosophia perennis, „something eternal and absolute in the thinking” of the Church. As closure of the study we briefly reflect upon the actuality, and the possibilities and limitations which are implied today in the notion of “Christian Hellenism”. The implications of Florovsky’s vision are thus assessed, both in what concerns the relationship between theology and culture, and in what concerns the ecumenical dialogue.
Nature- and Culture-bound Differences between North and South, East and West
Authors: Klein Hans 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
In this small essay, attention is drawn to the fact that the way people think and behave is influenced by the conditions of nature. Thinking has experience as prerequisite. In the cooler North, nature is differently perceived than in the warmer South. Consequences result thereof, in what regards how one understands and shapes one’s existence. The differences in mentality and life-style between East and West are largely culture-bound. In Europe as a whole, different conceptions can enrich each other.

Pulsed magnetic field treatment as antineuropathic pain therapy
Authors: Mert Tufan 
Published: June 2017

AbstractNo satisfactory effective therapy is still available to treat trauma- or disease-induced neuropathic pain, and current available treatment options have several side effects. Pulsed magnetic field (PMF) treatments are receiving growing interest as a therapeutic approach for several neuronal diseases. Although the exact mechanism of action of PMF treatments is unknown, reported findings represent a promising alternative therapeutic choice for the management of neuropathic pain. PMF treatments can supply new strategies for the therapy of life-threatening neuropathic pain due to its antihyperglycemic, anti-inflammatory, antihyperalgesic, antiallodynic, and neuroimmunomodulatory actions. In this review, I summarized the several recent findings about antineuropathic actions of PMF treatment in experimental animals with neuropathic pain induced by disease and/or damage.
Deformability Parameters of Varved Clays From the Iłów (Central Poland) Area Based on the Selected Field Tests
Authors: Zawrzykraj Piotr Zbigniew 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
This publication presents the results of research carried out for the ice-dammed clays of the Iłów region, formed during Vistula glaciation. Pressuremeter tests, dilatometer tests and static probes were made. The tests were performed on the study site in Piskorzec near Iłów. In this region, ice-dammed clays are present almost from the land surface reaching the thickness of about 11 m. This site is the westernmost experimental site of clays of the “Warsaw Ice-Dammed Lake” among those presented in the literature. Research and their analysis showed differences in deformability due to the test procedure in connection with the structure of varved clays. Pressuremeter test, even though it is the most time consuming and challenging among the tests performed, allows the most complete characteristics of deformability of varved clays to be obtained. Vertical profile of clays being studied appears to be fairly homogeneous in terms of mechanical properties. Nevertheless, some parts of the profile clearly differ from the average values. This indicates the rate of post sedimentary changes varied in different parts of research profile. The data obtained are consistent with the values for ice-dammed clays from Radzymin and Sochaczew areas. Comparison of the engineering properties of varved clays to other experimental sites points to their similar geological history. It confirms that the experimental sites belong to one ice-dammed lake covering the areas of the Warsaw Basin.
Areal variability of the mineral soil cover in a reclaimed soda waste dumping site

Published: June 2017

Abstract
Areal variability of the mineral soil cover in a reclaimed soda waste dumping site. This paper provides an analysis of the areal variability of the thickness and selected physical and chemical properties of the mineral cover formed in the process of settling ponds reclamation at the former Krakow Soda Plant “Solvay”. The topsoil is intended to provide a substrate for plants, therefore, its quality is the main determinant of the development for herbaceous and woody vegetation. Areal variability of the topsoil parameters was determined by kriging. In the context of the envisaged direction of management of the settling ponds, the analysis showed that electrical conductivity, thickness of the soil cover and the sand fraction content have potentially the highest impact on the diversification of vegetation. Understanding the spatial variability of the soil cover parameters, that are essential for vegetation, may contribute to increasing the efficiency of biological reclamation and also to cost reduction. Precise selection of the areas unsuitable for plant growth makes it possible to improve soil parameters on limited areas similarly as in the precision agriculture.
Dynamic simulation of sustainable farm development scenarios using cognitive modeling

Published: June 2017

Abstract
Dynamic simulation of sustainable farm development scenarios using cognitive modeling. The paper presents a dynamic simulation system of sustainable development scenarios on farms using cognitive modeling. The system incorporates relevant variables which affect the sustainable development of farms. Its user provides answers to strategic issues connected with the level of farm sustainability over a long-term perspective of dynamic development. The work contains a description of the model structure as well as the results of simulations carried out on 16 farms in northern Ukraine. The results show that the process of sustainability is based mainly on the potential for innovation in agricultural production and biodiversity. The user is able to simulate various scenarios for the sustainable development of a farm and visualize the influence of factors on the economic and social situation, as well as on environmental aspects. Upon carrying out a series of simulations, it was determined that the development of farms characterized by sustainable development is based on additional profit, which serves as the main motivation for transforming a conventional farm into a sustainable one. Nevertheless, additional profit is not the only driving force in the system of sustainable development. The standard of living, market condition, and legal regulations as well as government support also play a significant motivational role.
Arguments against ‘The Executed Renaissance’
Authors: Krupa Paweł 
Published: June 2017

SummaryThis article attempts to critically analyze ‘The Executed Renaissance’ anthology edited by Iurii Lavrinenko and its impact on the formation of the post-war historical and literary discourse of the 20 s in the Ukrainian Humanities. The aim of this paper is a critical review of the most important topics of the anthology, which has founded the paradigm of the “executed renaissance” era. The work revolves around four issues: a) biographical and historical factors and conditions underlying the anthology and the discourse of the “executed renaissance,” b) the issue of criteria for the selection of works, which was the basis of the anthology, as well as a canon and anti-canon of literature of the period, c) heuristic usefulness of the “executed renaissance” metaphor, conceptualization of literary phenomena with constituent figures proposed by Lavrinenko in the title of the anthology (“execution” and “renaissance” figures), d) the impact of the closing essay in the anthology –Literature of vitaism (1917–1933)by I. Lavrinenko on ideological and theoretical-literary image of this period.
Between Glamorous Patriotism and Reality-TV Aesthetics: Political Communication, Popular Culture, and the Invective Turn in Trump’s United States and Putin’s Russia
Authors: Kanzler Katja , Scharlaj Marina 
Published: June 2017

SummaryThis article proceeds from the observation that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin—two politicians frequently correlated and compared since Trump’s bid for the Presidency—have been remarkably successful in mobilizing support for their politics and in seemingly immunizing their rhetorics against vernacular critique. To work toward an understanding of this phenomenon, we propose to look at how political communication by and around the two politicians draws on forms and venues of popular culture. Both contexts, we will argue, have developed new strategies for the instrumentalization of popular culture, strategies that, while actualized differently in the two settings, revolve around an ‘invective turn’ in political communication—a radicalization of the familiar nationalist rhetoric of ‘us versus them’ that seems specifically fueled by pop-cultural forms. To explore this traffic between pop and politics, this article puts into conversation two case studies: On the one hand, of Trump’s campaign speeches which, we contend, symbolically organize around the logic of agôn—of the competitive game—as it has coagulated in the reality-tv genre of the gamedoc. On the other hand, we look at (state-controlled) pop music in the Russian genre ofĖstradawhich, thus our argument, advertises a distinct form of patriotism through the principle of ‘glamour.’ Glamour, in Putin’s Russia, operates simultaneously as a style and as an ideology of self-glorification. The article will outline how reality tv’s logic of agôn and patriotic pop music’s aesthetics of glamour each fuel a qualitatively new orientation of political discourse toward the aesthetically charged, affect-saturated denigration of others and valorization of self.
Evaluation of angiogenesis with serum and tissue vascular endothelial growth factor, angiopoietin-1 and angiopoietin-2 levels in relation to clinicopathological features in lung cancer patients

Published: June 2017

Abstract

Objective
The aim of this study was to investigate serum and tissue levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) and angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and to evaluate correlations between serum and tissue parameters with respect to clinicopathological features in patients with lung cancer.

Methods
The study was conducted on 34 patients with stage I-IV primary lung cancer and 32 healthy controls. Preoperative serum, tumor and matched normal tissue VEGF, Ang-1 and Ang-2 levels were determined with ELISA.

Results
Serum Ang-2 levels were significantly increased in lung cancer patients (p<0.001). VEGF levels were significantly higher in tumor tissue than in matched normal tissue (p<0.001). Ang-1 and Ang-2 levels were significantly higher in normal tissue than in tumor tissue (p<0.001). A significant negative correlation was found between normal lung tissue Ang-2 and serum VEGF levels (r=−0.400, p=0.019). A significant correlation was observed between serum and lung tissue Ang-2 levels (r=0.397, p=0.020).

Conclusion
This study clearly demonstrated that VEGF, Ang-1 and Ang-2 are all involved in lung cancer process. This was the first study to show a correlation between serum and tissue levels of Ang-2 in lung cancer. This finding might be the basis for therapeutic strategies against lung cancer.
Different sources of delay and acceleration in early child bilingualism
Authors: Müller Natascha 
Published: June 2017

AbstractThe present article argues that the two effects observed in bilingual first language acquisition, delay and acceleration, have different sources. Whereas delay can be due to cross-linguistic influence on the competence or the performance level and to the mere cognitive burden to process two languages, acceleration is always rooted in efficient computation in a non-linguistic sense. The evidence for the difference between delay and acceleration effects stems from children who are raised bilingually from birth and who are studied during spontaneous speech production. It falls out rather naturally that linguistic development is immune to acceleration, while it can be delayed in bilingual children as compared to monolinguals.
