Mediacje rówieśnicze jako metoda wychowawcza
Authors: Wojtanowicz Katarzyna 
Published: May 2017

Mediacja jest powszechnie stosowaną metodą rozwiązywania konfliktów. Znajduje również szerokie zastosowanie w budowaniu odpowiedzialności młodego pokolenia. Wykorzystanie mediacji jest formą edukacji osobistej i obywatelskiej tej grupy społecznej. W tym zastosowaniu mediacja podejmuje szereg funkcji, w szczególności: przejmowanie odpowiedzialności za własne zachowanie młodzieży, kształtowanie postawy tolerancji, wartości i moralności, a także umiejętności komunikacji i mediacji. Jest to szczególnie istotne w dobie reformowania polskiego sytemu wychowania i edukacji. Nie bez znaczenia jest również podejmowanie działań wspierających rodzinę w wypełnianiu funkcji wychowawczej, budowaniu postaw społecznych i moralnych. Mediacja jest narzędziem, które rozwija empatię u młodych osób, a także uwrażliwia na siebie wzajemnie, budując relacje interpersonalne, które w dzisiejszym świecie często zastępują nowe technologie.

Dylematy uzależnienia – impulsywność i radzenie sobie ze stresem u mężczyzn uczestniczących w terapii uzależnień
Authors: Krok Dariusz , Gałążewska Ilona 
Published: May 2017

Dotychczasowe badania nad osobami uzależnionymi koncentrowały się głównie na aspekcie reaktywnego radzenia sobie, natomiast proaktywne podejście było zignorowane. Aspekt impulsywności również okazuje się mało zbadany ze względu na różnorodność zastosowanych perspektyw badawczych. W związku z powyższym celem niniejszego artykułu było zbadanie różnic w zakresie impulsywności oraz reaktywnego i proaktywnego radzenia sobie wśród mężczyzn uzależnionych oraz bez uzależnienia. Artykuł składa się z trzech części. Pierwsza skupia się na przeglądzie teorii i badań z dziedziny uzależnień, impulsywności i radzenia sobie ze stresem. W drugiej części przedstawiono metodologię badań, a w trzeciej – wyniki i ich dyskusję. W celu zweryfikowania hipotez przeprowadzono badania na grupie 160 mężczyzn. W grupie eksperymentalnej było 80 uzależnionych mężczyzn, podczas gdy grupa kontrolna składała się z tej samej liczby mężczyzn bez uzależnienia. Zostały zastosowane trzy narzędzia badawcze: kwestionariusz impulsywności IVE, kwestionariusz radzenia sobie w sytuacjach stresowych CISS i kwestionariusz reakcji na codziennie wydarzenia PCI. W celu przeprowadzenia analizy statystycznej użyto pakietu STATISTICA. Analiza wyników wykazała istnienie znaczących różnic między grupami badanych mężczyzn. Mężczyźni uzależnieni charakteryzowali się wyższą impulsywnością, wykorzystaniem ucieczkowej strategii radzenia sobie oraz proaktywnych strategii związanych z poszukiwaniem wsparcia instrumentalnego i emocjonalnego, a także radzenia sobie skoncentrowanego na unikaniu. Mężczyźni bez uzależnienia w porównaniu z mężczyznami z grupy eksperymentalnej częściej stosowali proaktywne i refleksyjne radzenie sobie, strategiczne planowanie oraz prewencyjne radzenie sobie.

Abstract

Background
Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a measure of systemic inflammation that appears prognostic in localized and advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Increased systemic inflammation portends a poorer prognosis in cancer patients. We hypothesized that low NLR at diagnosis is associated with improved overall survival (OS) in locally advanced NSCLC (LANSCLC) patients.

Patients and Methods
Records from 276 patients with stage IIIA and IIIB NSCLC treated with definitive chemoradiation with or without surgery between 2000 and 2010 with adequate data were retrospectively reviewed. Baseline demographic data and pretreatment peripheral blood absolute neutrophil and lymphocyte counts were collected. Patients were grouped into quartiles based on NLR. OS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The log-rank test was used to compare mortality between groups. A linear test-for-trend was used for the NLR quartile groups. The Cox proportional hazards model was used for multivariable analysis.

Results
The NLR was prognostic for OS (p &lt; .0001). Median survival in months (95% confidence interval) for the first, second, third, and fourth quartile groups of the population distribution of NLR were 27 (19–36), 28 (22–34), 22 (12–31), and 10 (8–12), respectively. NLR remained prognostic for OS after adjusting for race, sex, stage, performance status, and chemoradiotherapy approach (p = .004).

Conclusion
To our knowledge, our series is the largest to demonstrate that baseline NLR is a significant prognostic indicator in LANSCLC patients who received definitive chemoradiation with or without surgery. As an indicator of inflammatory response, it should be explored as a potential predictive marker in the context of immunotherapy and radiation therapy.

Background: One of the key requirements for accomplishing a mutual goal is the formation of partnerships. ‘Partnership’ is an ill-defined concept, subject to multiple interpretations and frequently used interchangeably with alliance, coalition, network and collaboration among other terms. World Health Organisation had emphasized dengue prevention and control as a top priority, thus an inter agencies strategy and intervention study was launched to document the effectiveness of a local-level inter agencies approach and partnerships.Methods: The Free-Dengue Community approach, which involved stakeholder partnerships between parties such as the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Science, Technology, Local Municipalities, Health District Offices and National University of Malaysia, was developed as an inter-agencies plan for dengue prevention, of which the core objective was to design and implement activities for communication and social mobilization. In the control area, routine dengue control activities continued without additional input. Entomological indices were compared within and between the areas before and after the 12 week intervention period.Results: The approach consolidated the inter-agencies partnerships whereby the dengue cases in the localities had dropped and via this study, the module of Dengue-Free Community was mapped and documented. The result also highlighted the contributions made by each of the partner in bringing down the dengue cases in the selected localities. Furthermore, the number of ovitrap index also decreasing proving that the approach is effective. The community kit and home-kit provided to the community also helped in reducing the number of Aedes eggs in the intervention program.Conclusions: The partnership using the Dengue-Free Community approach achieved its aim of increasing the level of cooperation between the authorities to support social mobilization, and results shed light on how to tackle the challenges of inter-agency partnerships and the required approach for a better understanding of the levels at which individuals operate within such partnerships.

Background: Oral hygiene should be educated and practiced at early age as it is one of the determinants of the health state later in one’s life. Dental problems are very much prevalent not only in urban slum owing to poor oral hygiene but also in well-developed urban area due to pursuing bad food habit. The present study was undertaken to compare the oral hygienic practices among people in both areas. Methods: A cross sectional study carried out in 300 people (>10 years) residing in urban and urban slum of Vejalpur (150 from each area). A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant for applied statistical tests. Results: The present study showed that only 26.7% and 17.2% people in urban and urban slum respectively had habit of brushing both time morning and at night before going to bed. Only 25.7% and 11.8% of people used correct brushing technique. Regarding oral health status 47.4% of people in urban area and 61.1% in urban slum had dental caries. Conclusions: Oral hygienic practices were poor needs educational motivation regarding duration of brushing, appropriate way to brush the teeth, and use of mouthwash.

Published: May 2017

The paper presents the results of measuring specific electrical conductivity (SEC) of chromium and nickel plating electrolytes with the help of a non-contacting conductivity meter of the CRAB-d 064 type in temperature intervals corresponding to the working ranges of electrochemical deposition processes. A schematic diagram of the apparatus for the measurement of electrolyte SEC is presented. Electrolytes based on chromium compounds of varying degrees of valence (Cr3+ Cr6 +) and a standard nickel electrolyte (Watts electrolyte) were chosen as the objects of study. The dependence of the SEC of electrolytes on their temperature is analyzed, a comparative assessment of the impact of temperature on the electrical conductivity of various chroming electrolytes is given.
The influence of addition of nanoparticles of aluminum oxide and silicon carbide with the dispersion of 40-100 nm and a specific surface area of 23-32 m2 / g on the amount of electrical conductivity of an oxalate-sulfate electrolyte for chromium plating at a specified temperature is investigated. The study of nanosuspensions showed that the addition of nanoparticles of different nature with the concentration of 5-10 g / l to an electrolyte has no significant effect on the value of SEC.
To evaluate the relationship between the electrolyte conductivity and process parameters of electrodeposition of chromium and nickel coatings a qualitative assessment of chromium and nickel current output was performed and bar graphs showing the ratio of the values of the electrolyte electrical conductivity and the metal current output are presented. It has been established that the electrical conductivity of electrolytes and the metal current output are parameters that do not depend on each other.

Linguistic Equivalence of the Hebrew Term Eden in Slavic Translations of the Bible
Authors: Kawecka Agata , Zarębski Rafał 
Published: May 2017

The authors study different equivalents of the Hebrew word Eden in selected old and new Slavic translations of the Bible. The equivalents of this lexeme have been excerpted from several Slavic translations of the Bible, which were selected on the basis of diverse criteria. The translations are presented chronologically and old translations are opposed to the new ones. They represent three groups of Slavic languages: West Slavic, East Slavic and South Slavic and are connected with the base of translation, i.e. the original text and/or Greek or Latin text. They can also be classified according to religious denomination and the strategy of the translation.The observation of those equivalents enables us to see not only their variety and mutual influence among translations but also the struggle of Slavic translators with a very difficult language matter. Many factors were important in that struggle: genetic and structural distances between Semitic and Slavic languages, different perceptions of reality in distant cultures, the discrepancy between biblical and Slavonic realities and the influence of religious denomination. Another important factor was the state of biblical knowledge at the time – incomparably poorer in the case of the oldest Slavic translations in comparison to modern ones.
The Place of the Mihanović Psalter in the Fourteenth-Century Revisions of the Church Slavonic Psalter
Authors: MacRobert Catherine Mary 
Published: May 2017

Modern scholarship on the textual history of Church Slavonic biblical translation recognizes two distinct revisions of the Church Slavonic Psalter from the early fourteenth century, Redaction III (sometimes called the ‘Athonite’ redaction) and Redaction IV, known only in the Norov psalter manuscript. Although they are both attested from the same period and in manuscripts of similar Bulgarian provenance, these two redactions are in some respects systematically different in their linguistic character, their approach to translational issues and their Greek textual basis. In the light of A.A. Turilov’s observation that the Mihanović Psalter, possibly the earliest witness to Redaction III, is written in the same hand as the greater part of the Norov Psalter, this paper examines the textual antecedents of the two redactions and the importance of the Mihanović Psalter as a link between them.
Adversus Iudaeos in the Sermon Written by Theodore Syncellus on the Avar Siege of AD 626
Authors: Hurbanič Martin 
Published: May 2017

A sermon attributed to Theodore Syncellus (Theodoros Synkellos) is considered as one of the basic sources for the study of the Avar siege of Constantinople in AD 626. Therefore, the most historians paid more attention to the analysis of its historical background than to its ideological content. From the ideological point of view, the document serves as an evidence that a fear for the future of the Empire and its capital Constantinople began to rise within emerging Byzantine society. The Avar siege served its author mainly as a model for developing his polemics with imaginary Jewish opponents and their religion. It deserves to be included in a long succession of similar polemical treatises, which have existed in Christianity from its earliest times.
