BACKGROUND:
Portal venous flow pulsatility detected by Doppler ultrasound is a sign of congestive heart failure in noncritically ill patients. The assessment of portal and splenic venous flows has never been reported in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

METHODS:
This is a case series performed in patients undergoing cardiac surgery between February 2014 and February 2015 in which portal and/or splenic venous flows were assessed by the attending anesthesiologist during surgery or by the intensivist after surgery using transthoracic echography in 9 patients or transesophageal echocardiography in 5 patients. Data collection was done retrospectively by reviewing intraoperative and postoperative monitoring documents. The technique of assessment is detailed in this article.

RESULTS:
We report the abnormal portal and/or splenic venous flow pulsatility from 14 patients perioperatively. At the time of pulsatility detection, patients had a median cumulative fluid balance of 3.8 L (interquartile range: 0–4.6 L) and a median right atrial pressure of 14.0 mm Hg (interquartile range: 12.0–15.5 mm Hg). In some patients (4/14), signs of right ventricular dysfunction on echocardiography and/or right ventricular pressure monitoring were present.

CONCLUSIONS:
Doppler evaluation of portal and splenic venous flow using transthoracic echography and transesophageal echocardiography may represent a promising modality to assess end-organ venous congestion in cardiac surgery patients.

Semantic structure of verbs of movement in Azerbaijani and Polish languages and their lexicographic description
Authors: Abdullayeva Samira Farkhad 
Published: February 2017

This article analyses semantic structures of verbs of movement in Azerbaijani and Polish languages in currently available dictionaries. Fuzziness becomes clearly visible in differentiating various sememes in the structure of the content of the words. In bilingual dictionaries right, decal part periodically copies the left. Thus, units of the second language are described under the influence of the units of the first language. Comparison of verbs of movement in Azerbaijani and Polish languages shows that these verbs disproportionately affect asymmetry, but in Azerbaijani language it is conveyed more vividly. In both languages the basic sememe gives rise to metaphorical conceptualization and engagement in phrase formation based on the integration of a natural movement form. Analysis of the existing dictionaries indicates that the semantic structure of the verbs of movement1 is not always accurately revealed in the process of lexicographic description. Consequently, one of the directions of an exploratory research should be aimed at identifying discrepancies, their explanation and motivation of the proposed correction. In this article we’ll review an expression of sememe “crawl” in Azerbaijani and Polish languages.
Uwarunkowania historyczne roli i statusu języka polskiego w systemie edukacji w Galicji 1. połowy XIX wieku
Authors: Zimmermann Peter 
Published: February 2017

During the partitions of Poland in 1772, 1795 and 1815 its southern part was annexed by the Habsburg Monarchy and integrated into the Austrian Empire as the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria. Till the end of World War I the inhabitants of Galicia were citizens of the Austrian Empire and their lives were influenced by the political and social ideology of the Austrian government. One of the most significant changes were connected to the language issue. Austrian or German-speaking officials came to Galicia and so did German as it became the main administrative language. This was also the case for the Austrian education system, which mainly focused on teaching German language as they wanted to integrate the multilingual and multicultural inhabitants of the Austrian Empire under the leadership of the Austrian rulers.This article deals with the issue how the Austrian education system influenced the development and understanding of national consciousness of the Polish population in Galicia in the first half of the 19th century by analysing which role the Polish language played in the primary and secondary school system. This period is important because it shows the main intentions of the Austrian educational system and also because the first important School Laws were passed, which influenced the education system in Galicia for over half the century.This article is structured in two parts. The first part contains an analysis of the most important School Laws. The aim is to show the intentions and the ideology which guided the Austrian government in creating the education system and to analyse which role the Polish language played in it. The second part deals with the actual effects of the Austrian education policy for the young Polish generations of Galicia. This will allow a more realistic interpretation of the influence the education system in Galicia had on building or suppressing the development of a Polish national consciousness. This part includes analyses of school statistics and most importantly memories from schooldays from former Galician school children which gives an inside on the role the Polish language played in the school and in their own lives.
W krainie dzieciństwa – nazwy krakowskich przedszkoli
Authors: Żebrowska Barbara 
Published: February 2017

Article attempts to describe modern names of preschols. Nowadays, preschools are becoming similar to companies. The main purpose of their names is to encourage parents (and to some extent also children) to choose specific facility. Initially, this trend was associated with mainly non-public, private preschool, now also public preschools. This involves the development of consumption, characteristic of modern civilization. Creativity in the choice of name supports the presence of competition, and therefore described tendency can be noticed in large cities, such as Cracow. Material required for the analysis, that includes 334 names, was provided by the Internet databases that help parents in choosing a specific facility (abcprzedszkola.pl, przedszkolak.pl, przedszkolowo.pl), recruitment system for preschools FORMICO (krakow.formico.pl) and webpages of individual preschools.
W stronę rytualnego chaosu – o uwodzeniu polityką w programie Kawa na ławę Bogdana Rymanowskiego
Authors: Kula Agnieszka 
Published: February 2017

The text focuses on the analysis of the programme, which is categorised by the editorial team as “political journalism”. The author is trying to show her doubts regarding the lack of connection between the definition of the word ‘politics’ and anything that appears in media’s offer in such category. She points out how the broadcasters nurture in the audience the belief that the viewed programme deals with political problems and the issues of public area which are important for conscious citizens. Among the set of tools and means used throughout the programme, she highlights the following: usage of concealing type indicators, activation of keywords included in semantic fields derived from the noun ‘politics’; moving the focus from the public area to the private one; staging antagonistic scenes and critical situations. The presented tendencies to stage the reality fit into the mechanism of ‘seducing with politics’, using the citizen sphere as a pretext for focusing first and foremost on emotions, assumptions and controversies.
Zróżnicowanie tekstowe, zakres i stopień normalizacji wariantywności fonetycznej w Księgach o gospodarstwie (Kraków 1549, Helena Unglerowa)
Authors: Osiewicz Marek 
Published: February 2017

The article summarize a number of analysis of the phonetic variance acknowledged in the first Polish edition of Księgi o gospodarstwie by Piotr Krescentyn (Kraków 1549, H. Unglerowa). Investigated issues included: textual differentiation, scope and degree of normalization of the particular alternations. In a sample of 11 analyzed phonetic oppositions the biggest textual differentiation demonstrate: mdl- || -mgl-, jestli || jesli, biał- || białł- oraz miedzy || między. The most clearly seen border of textual forms differentiation runs between column 384 and 381a and is already known from the graphic and typographic analyses. The degree of normalization of the particular variants, diversified in terms of textual localization, allows to divide the examined antique print on 9 textual areas. Among these, two areas distinguish: Cresc61–137, with the lowest degree of normalization and the highest level of the regressive form usage, and Cresc573–605, characterized by high rates of the norm-setting variants occurrence and the progressive forms preference. Quite numerous dialect words from Wielkopolska, the most likely adopted from handwritten basis for print, appeared in the text. The results of analysis substantiate the hypothesis which attributes the translation authorship to Andrzej Glaber from Kobylin.
Identification of Volatile Compounds from a Brewery with SPME Technique
Authors: Piotrowicz Adam 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
The paper presents results of the analysis of the volatile compounds arising from the production processes in a brewery. The investigated material comprised the unhoped brewer’s wort which was taken from the fermentation tanks during the industrial process. The identification of volatile compounds was conducted with the use of Solid-Phase MicroExtraction (SPME) technique by extracting the compounds from the headspace of the brewer’s wort (HS-SPME). The procedure was optimized by modifying the parameters potentially influencing the process efficiency. The analytes adsorbed on the fibers were subsequently placed in the injector of a gas chromatograph, where they were released in the course of thermal desorption. Three types of fibers were chosen for the experiments: 65 μm PDMS/DVB, 50/30 μm DVB/CAR/PDMS and 100 μm PDMS. The greatest number of peaks corresponding to compounds found in the examined material was observed on the 50/30 μm DVB/CAR/PDMS fiber while the lowest was identified on the 100 μm PDMS fiber. The detected compounds are mainly the derivatives of aliphatic, alicyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons with different functional groups e.g. carbonyl, aldehyde or ester and possessing O-heteroatom in their structure.

Authors: Chaabane Abdelhalim , Djahli Farid , Attia Hussein , Denidni Tayeb. A. 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
In this paper, an electromagnetic band gap cavity antenna with improved radiation and impedance bandwidths is presented. The proposed antenna is constructed by placing a triple-layer heterogeneous printed-unprinted partially reflective surface (PRS) above a primary aperture-coupled patch antenna. The PRS unit-cell provides a positive gradient reflection phase behavior over the desired frequency range. A prototype antenna is fabricated and measured that highlighted its ability to achieve 3-dB gain bandwidth of about 35.9 %, from 7.93 GHz to 11.4 GHz, with a peak gain of 14.25 dBi at 8.5 GHz. In addition, the impedance bandwidth is 40.32 %, from 7.9 GHz to 11.89 GHz. Thus, the designed antenna outperforms many other competitors for improving the radiation bandwidth of planar antennas with the same presented concept.
Dielectric Properties of Importance in Operations of Post-harvest of Sorghum
Authors: Noreña Caciano P. Z. , Lescano-Anadón Carlos E. 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
The knowledge of electrical properties and their relationship with moisture content is of great importance in operations of post-harvest and storage in grains. The dielectric properties of sorghum samples were studied at different moisture contents and temperatures (25 at 41 °C), at frequencies of 1 and 10 kHz. In order to measure changes in the capacitance and dissipation factor of the samples, the method of impedance bridge was used. Both the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss factor of the samples increased with increasing moisture content and temperature; however, they decreased with increasing frequency. Models were proposed to relate the dielectric properties to either the moisture (exponential and polynomial) or temperature (linear).

Authors: Ivanova Sofiya , Dimitrova Dimitrichka , Petrichev Metodi 
Published: February 2017

AbstractThe trial was performed on 10 clinically healthy Ross hybrid chickens, 5 from each gender, weighing 2.75-2.84 kg. The tested quinolone was applied at the same dose for both routes of application - 10 mg/kg of body weight. Ciprofloxacin hydrochloridum 5% solution for i.v. and 1% solution for intraingluvial treatment were prepared. In a crossover study design, ciprofloxacin hydrochloridum was administered as 5 % solution for i.v. bolus injection to broiler chickens and after 14 days as 1 % solution for intraingluvial administration into a crop to the same birds. Serum ciprofloxacin concentrations were assayed by HPLC with UV detection at a wavelength of 279 nm. After intravenous injection the following pharmacokinetic parameters were determined: t1/2β= 9.07 h; t1/2α= 0.36 h; MRT = 10.20 h and MRT = 10.75 h; AUC0→∞= 19.560 μg.h/mL and AUC0→∞= 19.843 μg.h/mL. After intraingluvial application parameters determined by the two pharmacokinetic models were as: t1/2α= 0.86 h; t1/2β= 7,20 h and t1/2β= 7.89 h; MRT = 12.67 h and MRT = 12.93 h; AUC0→∞= 11.340 μg.h/mL and AUC0→24 h= 11.973 μg.h/mL; Cmax= 2.841 μg/mL and Cmax= 2.638 μg/mL; Tmax= 0.48 h and Tmax= 0.39 h; t1/2abs.= 0.146 h; MAT = 2.47 h and MAT = 2.18 h; F = 57.91% and F = 63.89%. These results suggested that a dose of 10 mg/kg of body weight provides maximum plasma concentration ater intraingluvial administration and is effective in the control of many infectious diseases of poultry.
Research on Popular Music conducted at the Institute of Musicology of the University of Warsaw in 1953–2015
Authors: Gradowski Mariusz , Piłaciński Przemysław 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
The article presents a survey of research on popular music carried out at the Institute of Musicology, University of Warsaw. It discusses the contents of valuable studies undertaken at the Institute but still unpublished and kept at the Library of the Institute of Musicology. The authors’ aim has been to facilitate the exchange of ideas with other musicological centres conducting research on popular music, as well as providing other musicologists and scholars working in the field with an overview the research undertaken to date.
Popular music will be defined here as music composed in the 20th and 21st centuries, circulating in mass distribution in the form of various types of recordings, as well as performed in music clubs and at outdoor events; music that has its roots in jazz on the one hand and the youth revolution of the 1950s (the rise of rock and roll) on the other. We present a survey of B.A. and M.A. theses discussed under a number of key headings (jazz, folk, rock/pop, and electronic music, as well as works dealing with popular music in the context of research into musical culture at large). We also describe the University’s study framework, which was the original context for those texts.
Our survey of the library holdings reveals an unexpectedly large body of writings on popular music submitted for a degree at the Institute of Musicology, University of Warsaw. The research has already opened many doors, defined and more than outlined many fields of study, describing them in quite a detailed manner. This is obviously good news: the existing works pose new questions, highlight areas of controversy, and suggest new research methods. In due course, the research has also begun to yield PhD dissertations written on this subject at the Institute.

Inequality Rediscovered
Authors: Grewal David Singh , Purdy Jedediah 
Published: February 2017

AbstractWidespread recognition that economic inequality has been growing for forty years in most of the developed world, and in fact has tended to grow across most of the history of modern economies, shows that the period 1945-1973, when inequality of wealth and income shrank, was a marked anomaly in historical experience. At the time, however, the anomalous period of equality seemed to vindicate a long history of optimism about economic life:that growth would overcome meaningful scarcity and usher in an egalitarian and humanistic period that could almost qualify as post-economic. This has not been the experience of the last four decades. In this intellectual history of the anomalous period, we trace the main lines of that optimism and its undoing.

Published: February 2017

AbstractThe influence of nozzle clearance on the flow field for a variable nozzle turbine, and moreover on the turbine stage performance was numerically investigated. Meanwhile, unsteady calculations were also performed to capture the shock waves which were induced by excessive acceleration of the exhaust gas. Aiming at improving the turbine stage performance and mitigating the shock waves, a forepart rotation vane was proposed and investigated in this work. The results indicated that by using the forepart rotation vane, the stage efficiency is increased by 6 % and the shock waves were eliminated successfully at small nozzle openings. Additionally, the intensity of pressure fluctuation that acts on the rotor blades was reduced by mitigation of clearance leakage flow and shock waves, which is beneficial for the reliability of rotor blades.
Sensory Neuron-Specific Deletion of TRPA1 Results in Mechanical Cutaneous Sensory Deficits
Authors: Zappia Katherine J. , O’Hara Crystal L. , Moehring Francie , Kwan Kelvin Y. , Stucky Cheryl L. 
Published: February 2017

AbstractThe nonselective cation channel transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is known to be a key contributor to both somatosensation and pain. Recent studies have implicated TRPA1 in additional physiologic functions and have also suggested that TRPA1 is expressed in nonneuronal tissues. Thus, it has become necessary to resolve the importance of TRPA1 expressed in primary sensory neurons, particularly since previous research has largely used global knock-out animals and chemical TRPA1 antagonists. We therefore sought to isolate the physiological relevance of TRPA1 specifically within sensory neurons. To accomplish this, we usedAdvillin-Cremice, in which the promoter for Advillin is used to drive expression of Cre recombinase specifically within sensory neurons. TheseAdvillin-Cremice were crossed withTrpa1fl/flmice to generate sensory neuron-specificTrpa1knock-out mice. Here, we show that tissue-specific deletion of TRPA1 from sensory neurons produced strong deficits in behavioral sensitivity to mechanical stimulation, while sensitivity to cold and heat stimuli remained intact. The mechanical sensory deficit was incomplete compared to the mechanosensory impairment of TRPA1 global knock-out mice, in line with the incomplete (∼80%) elimination of TRPA1 from sensory neurons in the tissue-specificAdvillin-Creknock-out mice. Equivalent findings were observed in tissue-specific knock-out animals originating from two independently-generatedAdvillin-Crelines. As such, our results show that sensory neuron TRPA1 is required for mechanical, but not cold, responsiveness in noninjured skin.
