Festiwale muzyki popularnej w Polsce i ich oddziaływanie jako problem badawczy geografii społeczno-ekonomicznej
Authors: Matykowski Roman , Zmudzińska Kamila 
Published: June 2022

Wzrost liczby festiwali w latach 60. i 70. XX w. wzbudził zainteresowanie przedstawicieli różnych nauk społecznych i humanistycznych tą problematyką, w tym również geografii. Pierwszym celem niniejszego opracowania jest omówienie sytuacji problemowej i konceptualizacja studiów nad festiwalami z perspektywy geografii społeczno-ekonomicznej. Drugim celem związanym z badaniami empirycznymi w Polsce jest charakterystyka oddziaływania i uczestników następujących festiwali: Muzycznego Campingu w Brodnicy w latach 1985 i 1988, Festiwalu Rockowego w Jarocinie w 1988 r. i Jarocin Festiwal w 2018 r. oraz Enea Spring Break Showcase Festival & Conference w 2018 r. Przedmiotem tej dalszej analizy były festiwale, na których autorzy prowadzili badania terenowe (wykorzystanie rejestrów meldunkowych, badania ankietowe, wywiady i obserwacja uczestnicząca) w latach 1985–1988 i w 2018 r. Dokonując porównania cech społeczno-demograficznych festiwalowiczów z imprez w latach 80. i końca drugiej dekady XXI w., można stwierdzić wzrost przeciętnego wieku uczestników oraz zmianę struktury według płci (od wyraźnej dominacji mężczyzn do struktury mniej więcej zrównoważonej). W przypadku festiwalu w Jarocinie zmieniła się również siła jego oddziaływania przestrzennego, a impreza ta przekształciła się z wydarzenia o zasięgu ogólnokrajowym w wydarzenie o zasięgu makroregionalnym. Regionalnym zasięgiem cechował się najmniejszy z badanych festiwali – Enea Spring Break.

Published: June 2022

Background
The incidence of congenital heart disease (CHD) is about 8 per 1000 live births. About 20% of those patients diagnosed with CHD will present early after birth with Critical Congenital Heart Disease (CCHD) necessitating a catheter or surgical intervention during the neonatal period. This is based on Western literature and Western countries. Little is known about the actual prevalence of CCHD at the time of clinical assessment and treatment during surgical missions in low and middle income countries (LMICs).
Methods
This is a retrospective study and it compares prevalence of CCHD at time of presentation for surgery in LMICs
to published data for similar cohorts in the USA. We discuss potential causes for epidemiological discrepancies
Proportions were compared using OR and 95% CI. Significance was set at p<0.01. We chose to classify our patients considering the number of ventricles (1or 2) combined with the existence of Aortic Arch obstruction (Yes/No) resulting in a CCHD classification with 4 categories
Results
Between Feb 2008 - June 2019 we operated 6115 patients in 27 countries. Of those, 243 Neonates were presented to our cardiologists
after excluding simple PDA ligations in Preterm newborns and 239 neonates were surgically treated for their CCHD
(4% of the total). overall surgical mortality among the 243 neonates operated in LMIC for their CCHD was 19.7% (n=48). Main discrepancies were in Classes 1 represented by 63% of our treated CCHD (p<.0001) while Class 4 neonates represented only 4.2% of our total (p<.0001). When compared to Western prevalence, Transposition of the Great Arteries was over-represented while some cyanotic (ToF) and non-cyanotic diagnosis (Critical Aortic Stenosis) were under-represented.
Conclusions
Patients diagnosed and treated for CCHD in LMICs during humanitarian missions represent but a very small fraction of the total number of patients born with CCHD in those countries.
Discrepancies in specific diagnoses and prevalence between LMIC and their high-income counterparts are likely multifactorial, and management should be adapted to the conditions of each country and health system.
Proper prenatal diagnosis, specialized critical neonatal transportation systems, countrywide availability of Prostaglandins and at least one highly functioning heart center are some of the most basic needs required in order to revert the current natural history of CCHD in countries with limited resources settings.

Published: June 2022

Background: Atorvastatin reduces oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) levels and reduces the rate of plaque progression in patients with and without prior carotid angioplasty. The aim of our study was to investigate the durability of this effect and to explore possible prognostic impact of oxLDL levels on carotid stenosis and plaque stability.
Methods: 106 patients (71 males, mean age 64.82±7.26 years) were studied. They were divided into two groups. Group 1 including patients with carotid stenosis >70% (n=50) who underwent carotid angioplasty prior to enrolment. Group 2 included those with <70% stenosis who were treated medically and were given atorvastatin with dose adjusted to maintain LDL cholesterol <100mg/dl. Anthropometrics, complete lipid profile, oxLDL and ultrasonography were performed at baseline, 1, 3, 6, 12 months and yearly thereafter for 10 years.
Results: oxLDL levels significantly decreased from 53.3±10.91 mg/dl at baseline to 8.31±2.08 mg/dl at 12 months (p<0.001) and remained stable until the 10th year. In group 1, restenosis (>70%) was noticed in four patients, yet no further intervention was needed due to plaque morphology (echo-grade IV). In group 2, carotid stenosis was initially reduced (6th month – 4th year) and later relapsed (5th – 10th year), yet plaque morphology was recorded as type III or IV in almost all patients of group 2 (53=95%), indicating a significantly lower risk for stroke.
Conclusion: Atorvastatin treatment to a target of LDL <100 mg/dl in patients with carotid stenosis is associated with marked and durable reduction of lipid levels, especially oxLDL and LDL and reduction in the rate of stenosis progression, improved plaque stability and decreased stroke risk.

Authors: Nicolalde Bryan , Añazco Diego , Jaramillo-Cartwright Maria Jose , Salinas Ivonne , Pacheco-Carrillo Aldo , Hernández-Chávez Saliha , Moyano Gimena , Teran Enrique 
Published: June 2022

Background:This study aims to identify the preferred sources for acquiring knowledge about COVID-19 and to evaluate basic knowledge on critical scientific literature appraisal in students from medical schools located in Spanish speaking countries in Latin America. Methods:We designed an online survey of 15 closed-ended questions related to demographics, preferred resources for COVID-19 training, and items to assess critical appraisal skills. A snowball method was used for sampling. We conducted a descriptive analysis and Chi-squared tests to compare the proportion of correct identification of the concept of a preprint and a predatory journal when considering a) self-perceived level of knowledge, b) public vs private school, c) inclusion of a scientific literature appraisal subject in the curriculum, and d) progress in medical school.Results:Our sample included 770 valid responses, out of which most of the participants included were from Mexico (n=283, 36.8%) and Ecuador (n=229, 29.7%). Participants preferred using evidence-based clinical resources (EBCRs) to learn more about COVID-19 (n=182, 23.6%). The preferred study design was case report/series (n=218, 28.1%). We found that only 265 participants correctly identified the concept of a preprint (34.4%), while 243 students (31.6%) correctly identified the characteristics of a predatory journal. We found no significant differences in the proportion of correct answers regardless of the self-perceived level of knowledge, progress in medical school, or scientific literature critical appraisal classes.Conclusion:This study is novel in its approach of identifying sources of knowledge used by Latin American medical students and provides insights into the need to reinforce training in critical appraisal of scientific literature during medical school.
Expressive writing in a Saudi university English foreign language (EFL) classroom: Evaluating gains in syntactic complexity
Authors: Abdulaziz Alkhalaf Shatha Ahmed 
Published: June 2022

Background: This study determines if the English foreign language (EFL) Saudi students achieve greater syntactic complexity when they engage in expressive writing than when they write about a general topic. Methods: This study employs an ex post facto research design to compare the writing output of EFL learners. The sample comprised of 24 college students enrolled in an English writing course, at Department of English and Translation, College of Sciences and Arts, Qassim University, Saudi Arabia for the academic year 2021-2022. The participants were assigned randomly, and their writing was analyzed using the computer software named Web-based L2 Syntactic Complexity Analyzer. Lu’s (2010) four board element of syntactic complexity and 14 units is employed to analyze the data. Results: Results show that students achieve higher syntactic complexity when engaging in writing on emotional topics (expressive writing) than when writing on general topics. Further, analysis shows that students' emotional writings are significant on three syntactic complexity measures, i.e., length of production units; amount of subordination; and phrase sophistication. The fourth measure, i.e., coordination, does not reflect significant differences between their expressive writing and general writing. Conclusions: The study's implications are expected to aid EFL instructors and curriculum designers in successfully implementing language education, particularly in writing, in the Saudi context. In line with the input hypothesis, this research suggests that writing about personal emotional events may enhance the quality of language two (L2) writing by increasing syntactic complexity. In this dimension, this study could be additional evidence of the Krashen hypothesis.
Determinants of under-five anaemia in the high prevalence regions of Ghana
Authors: Alhassan Abdul Rauf , Yakubu Musah 
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Anaemia is a serious public health issue that mostly affects children and women throughout their lives, resulting in a high morbidity and mortality burden. It is the third most dominant cause of hospital admission among children under-five in Ghana and the fourth leading cause of under-five mortality in Ghana. This study aims to identify the determinants of under-five anaemia in the high prevalent regions of Ghana using the Ghana Malaria Indicator Survey (2019 GMIS). Methods: An analytic cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the Ghana Malaria Indicator Survey (2019 GMIS). The data was analysed using SPSS version 20. The relationship between the dependent and independent variables was established using the chi-square test and binary logistic regression model. A p-value of 0.05 was used to determine the statistical significance of the study. Results: There were 913 eligible under-five children for this study, with 50.2% males and 49.8% females. The prevalence of under-five anaemia recorded in this current study for the three northern regions was 68.0%. The region with dominant (72.9%) prevalence was the Upper East region. Children of lower age group were more likely to be diagnosed with anaemia (P < 0.05). Children with female household heads were 35% less likely to be diagnosed with anaemia (AOR=0.65, 95% C.I.= 0.421-0.995). Those who had mothers with higher educational attainment were 79% less likely to be diagnosed with anaemia (AOR=0.21, 95% C.I.=0.085–0.541). Finally, those with history of fever in the last weeks were 62% more likely (AOR=1.62, 95% C.I. = 1.155–2.282). Conclusions: The high prevalence in the three northern regions of Ghana can be corrected with women empowerment through higher formal educational achievement and improved income status.

Background: Sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new class of oral anti-diabetic drugs which improve glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by preventing the kidney from reabsorbing glucose back to blood. Community pharmacists have long-term relationships with most of their chronic patients, so they play a key role in care for people with diabetes. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess pharmacists’ knowledge and practice towards SGLT2 inhibitors. Thus, improving pharmacists’ knowledge about this group of medications could improve the treatment outcome of people with diabetes. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to meet the study objectives. A convenience sample of 348 community pharmacists in Jordan was recruited. knowledge and practice were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire created for the purpose of this study. Results: A total of 400 community pharmacists were reached, of whom 348 answered the survey (response rate 87%). The results indicated that SGLT2 inhibitors knowledge score among community pharmacists in Jordan was 6.61 (out of 12). Factors like age, gender, location of the pharmacy, years of pharmacists’ experience had no effect on knowledge score; however, pharmacists who attended training courses on diabetes had higher knowledge scores. Additionally, pharmacists’ dispensing practice toward SGLT2 inhibitors had insufficient knowledge, such as lack of knowledge about the superiority of SGLT2 inhibitors over other anti-diabetics and inability to give the best advice to patients. Conclusions: Our findings reflect a moderate knowledge among community pharmacists about SGLT2 inhibitors which may negatively affect the patients’ outcome; thus, continuous education for the pharmacists is essential.
The impact of international macro environment factors on the internationalization of Polish enterprises
Authors: Drabik Ireneusz 
Published: June 2022

Motivation: It is commonly noted that the environment of enterprises changed substantially at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. The environment basic and characteristic features are changeability and complexity, i.e. turbulence. It is justified to distinguish the enterprise international macro environment as a separate category. Many different ways of understanding this category and of classifying its structural elements can be found in the literature.
Aim: The theoretical aim of the article is to characterize the essence and structural elements of the international macro environment of enterprises. The practical aim is to assess the impact of individual elements of the international macro environment on the internationalization of business activity in the opinion of the Polish manufacturing companies covered by the survey. The article makes use of a critical analysis of the literature on international management and draws on the results of own surveys conducted among Polish enterprises.
Results: The analysis and monitoring of changes taking place in the international macro environment are of key significance for the strategy of the enterprise internationalization regardless of the stage or intensity of the internationalization process. The influence of international macro environment factors is an important aspect that decides whether a given venture undertaken by the enterprise on foreign markets will be a success. As a result of own studies, the impact of individual types of international macro environment factors on the internationalization of Polish enterprises was determined. Attention is drawn to the dominant role of factors of the technological environment.
Methodological foundations of assessing research impact in business and management
Authors: Grzeszczyk Tadeusz A. 
Published: June 2022

Motivation: Assessment of research impact in the business and management field is more difficult than in the case of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines and, therefore, it is justified to improve the approaches, methods and tools used in this field and social sciences in general. Methodological research concerning such assessment is quite a challenge as it is not easy to identify useful assessment methods, indicators and evaluation criteria for carrying out objective processes for conceptualizing and measuring research impact. Creating conditions for obtaining reliable results of research impact assessment is accompanied by the growing interest of scientists and public institutions sponsoring their study.
Aim: The article aims to indicate the current main methodological trends in assessing the impact of research in business and management.
Results: The paper presents the results of bibliometric research enabling the identification of leading study centers and main methodological solutions, which may be a source of progress in the field of research on systems and methods of research impact assessment in business and management. This is especially important for the scientific community and public sponsors from countries that are currently starting to implement impact assessment systems. It is worth drawing from the experience, good practices and vast resources of knowledge related to evaluation systems and models of knowledge exchange between academia and non-academic stakeholders.
Principle of financial adequacy of local self-government units vs. local self-government healthcare expenditures
Authors: Karczewska Zofia M. , Mielech Ewelina 
Published: June 2022

Motivation: The economic crisis caused by the pandemic revealed problems related to the financing of the tasks of local government units (LGUs). Moreover, these problems are associated with the violation of the constitutional principle of adequacy in financing public tasks, including tasks related to health protection.
Aim: The implementation of the principle of financial adequacy of local government units based on an analysis of local government spending on health care, considering the current situation caused by the COVID 19 pandemic.
Results: The results from the analysis of finances confirm that local governments’ concerns about their financial situation are justified. The decrease in the investment potential of communes and poviats, dynamically growing current expenses, and the apparent increase in total income are the fundamental causes of the analysis. These causes, concerning the diversified number of medical entities in the analyzed cities’ self-government, confirm that the principle of financial adequacy in health care is strongly undermined. Besides, the economic situation caused by the COVID 19 pandemic has highlighted financial and organizational problems in local government units.
Czy poezja jest przekładem?

IS POETRY A TRANSLATION? ST. JOHN OF THE CROSS IN THE POLISH TRANSLATIONS OF FEDERICO GARCÍA LORCA AND JUAN GELMAN
The article points to the inspirations of the mystical poetry of St. John of the Cross in two 20th-century Spanish language poets, Federico García Lorca and Juan Gelman, in whom it takes a special form of intertexts. The poets refer to others’ words out of a sense of the inadequacy of language and the inexpressibility of feelings that accompany them after the loss of their loved ones – loneliness, despair, abandonment. At the same time, the act of “rewriting” earlier texts as an expression of apophatic theology is present in St. John himself. An analysis of Lorca’s Polish translations, as well as of Gelman’s experimental poems, leads to the conclusion that the complex web of diachronic intertextual references poses a difficult challenge to the translator and requires extensive historical literary and cultural competence.
La traduction garantit-elle la diffusion des idées dans une autre culture ?

DOES TRANSLATION GUARANTEE THE EXPANSION OF IDEAS IN ANOTHER CULTURE? THE CASE OF L’AMOUR EN PLUS BY ELISABETH BADINTER
Translation has certainly contributed to the spread of French feminist thought around the world. There are, however, translations which do not seem to have contributed significantly to the spread of this thought in Poland. This is the case of Elisabeth Badinter’s essay, L’amouren plus: histoire de l’amourmaternel (XVIIe – XXe siècle), published in 1980, which sparked controversy in France. According to the author, the maternal instinct is a social and cultural construct. L’amouren plus was a success and it has been translated into a total of 28 languages. The Polish translation of this work, Historia miłości macierzyńskiej, appeared in 1998, 18 years after the original was published. However, as our study shows, Badinter’s thought is hardly present in Polish works on feminism. Thus, translation does not always guarantee the circulation of the ideas of the original work in another culture or the love of foreign readers.
Comment les péritextes éditoriaux orientent la lecture polonaise de Het volkomen huwelijk (Le Mariage parfait) de Theodoor H. van de Velde

COMMENT LES PÉRITEXTES ÉDITORIAUX ORIENTENT LA LECTURE POLONAISE DE HET VOLKOMEN HUWELIJK (LE MARIAGE PARFAIT) DE THEODOOR H. VAN DE VELDE
La première traduction polonaise de Het volkomen huwelijk (Le Mariage Parfait ; Leyde 1926), ouvrage de vulgarisation scientifique qui soulignait l’importance de la bonne connaissance des mécanismes de la sexualité humaine, a été publiée en 1935 et a été rééditée plusieurs fois avant et après la IIe guerre mondiale. En 1972, une nouvelle traduction est sortie chez un éditeur spécialisé en médecine, Państwowe Zakłady Wydawnictw Lekarskich (PZWL). Elle a ensuite connu plusieurs rééditions par différentes maisons d’édition, subissant à chaque fois une modification de sa présentation matérielle, et plus particulièrement de sa couverture, qui est un lieu stratégique pour l’éditeur, à qui appartient la décision des éléments qui s’y trouvent. Cette étude examine les couvertures et autres péritextes éditoriaux des versions successives de la première traduction et de la retraduction, pour montrer comment les transformations matérielles subies par ces éditions laissent entrevoir des changements concernant la fonction assignée à cet ouvrage par les éditeurs respectifs.
