Dzieje ludności żydowskiej na terenach latyfundium Zamoyskich za czasów linii kanclerskiej (Jan „Sariusz”, Tomasz, Jan „Sobiepan” Zamoyscy). Przyczyn…
2014
Celem artykułu jest omówienie dziejów ludności żydowskiej na terenach należących do rodziny Zamoyskich w okresie od drugiej połowy XVI do drugiej połowy XVII wieku, w kresie rządów założyciela ordynacji Jana „Sariusza” Zamoyskiego (1542 – 1605), jego syna Tomasza Zamoyskiego (1594 – 1638) oraz wnuka Jana „Sobiepana” Zamoyskiego (1627 – 1665), ostatniego ordynata z tzw. linii starszej, zwanej też „kanclerską”. Zostały w nim omówione warunki polityczne, jakie towarzyszyły osiedlaniu się Żydów w latyfundium Zamoyskich (w szczególności w większych ośrodkach miejskich: Zamościu, Szczebrzeszynie, Tomaszowie, Kraśniku oraz Tarnogrodzie) oraz aspekty społeczne, kulturowe i gospodarcze ich funkcjono…
Pilgrimages of the Polish Gentry to Holy Places in the 17th and the 18th Centuries
2015
Pielgrzymki szlachty polskiej do miejsc świętych w XVII i XVIII wieku(streszczenie) W wiekach XVII i XVIII szlachta polska i litewska chętnie wyruszała w podróże. W przypadku podróży zagranicznych o charakterze religijnym największym zainteresowaniem cieszyły się wyprawy do Ziemi Świętej, grobu św. Jakuba Starszego w Santiago de Compostela i do Rzymu. W ich trakcie odwiedzano sanktuaria przechowujące relikwie świętych oraz sławne z cudów za sprawą Matki Boskiej lub świętych na terenie dzisiejszych Czech, Austrii, Bawarii czy północnych Włoch. Popularnymi celami pielgrzymek były też ośrodki pątnicze na terenie Rzeczypospolitej, których liczba wzrosła w XVIII wieku do około 150. Znaczenie mia…
Herzog Ludwig II. von Brieg (1384 – 1436). Pilger – Herrscher – Bankrotteur
2015
Książę Ludwik II z Brzegu (1384–1436). Władca – pielgrzym – bankrut(streszczenie)Od momentu pierwszej wyprawy zagranicznej połączonej z pielgrzymką do Ziemi Świętej Ludwik II, władca Brzegu i Legnicy, prowadził dość rozrzutną politykę finansową. Wiele kosztowały go także liczne podróże zagraniczne oraz wystawne życie na dworze Zygmunta Luksemburskiego. Trudno Ludwika II uważać za ideał cnót, chociaż książę próbował w początkach swego panowania za takiego uchodzić. Długi, które w ciągu swojego życia zaciągnął – u książąt śląskich, przedstawicieli Kościoła oraz własnych poddanych – doprowadziły do bankructwa ziemie dawnego księstwa brzesko-legnickiego, które znakomicie prosperowały pod panowa…
Internationally adopted children: a new challenge for pediatricians.
2006
Children adopted from abroad by Italian families have increased during the last years. Since 2001 to 2004 they have been more than 10,000, mainly from Eastern Europe, and all indications suggest that they will continue to increase. Most of the internationally adopted children reside in orphanage before adoption where they may experience malnutrition, exposure to infectious diseases, environmental deprivation, neglect. Moreover, their pre-adoptive records are scarcely reliable and their immunization status is not always adequate. The most common long-term problems of internationally adopted children concern developmental and scholastic delay especially if they come from a long and severely d…
The Jewish doctors involved in the development of health resorts in eastern Galicia at the late 19th and early 20th century (Central and Eastern Euro…
2018
Summary Background The involvement of Jewish doctors and scientists in the development of health resorts in eastern Galicia (part of the Austrian monarchy after 1772, and since 1918 as part of independent Poland, now part of Ukraine) is unquestionable; however, awareness of this fact is not that common. Meanwhile, also due to their work and activity, small borderland resorts became important medical, cultural and social centers of the region. The involvement of Jewish doctors in the development of Galician health resorts resulted from, among others, the rich and multi-layered tradition and integration of Judaism with the hygiene regulations and moral principles of the religion. The eastern …
A View from the Inside: The Dawning Of De-Westernization of CEE Media and Communication Research?
2015
The Editorial outlines some characteristics of the development of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) media and communication scholarship during the past 25 years. In the majority of CEE countries, the media and communication research was re-established after the collapse of communism. Since then, a critical mass of active scholars has appeared who form an integral part of the larger European academia. A gradual integration of East and West perspectives in media and communication research is taking place along with moving away from the barely West-centred approach, and utilizing the research done by CEE scholars. Certain 'de-westernization' and internationalization of the research in ter…
Short-term occupations at high elevation during the Middle Paleolithic at Kalavan 2 (Republic of Armenia).
2021
The Armenian highlands encompasses rugged and environmentally diverse landscapes and is characterized by a mosaic of distinct ecological niches and large temperature gradients. Strong seasonal fluctuations in resource availability along topographic gradients likely prompted Pleistocene hominin groups to adapt by adjusting their mobility strategies. However, the role that elevated landscapes played in hunter-gatherer settlement systems during the Late Pleistocene (Middle Palaeolithic [MP]) remains poorly understood. At 1640 m above sea level, the MP site of Kalavan 2 (Armenia) is ideally positioned for testing hypotheses involving elevation-dependent seasonal mobility and subsistence strateg…
Geochemical characteristics of Cretaceous carbonatites from Angola
1999
Abstract The Early Cretaceous (138–130 Ma) carbonatites and associated alkaline rocks of Angola belong to the Parana-Angola-Etendeka Province and occur as ring complexes and other central-type intrusions along northeast trending tectonic lineaments, parallel to the trend of coeval Namibian alkaline complexes. Most of the Angolan carbonatite-alkaline bodies are located along the apical part of the Mocamedes Arch, a structure representing the African counterpart of the Ponta Grossa Arch in southern Brazil, where several alkaline-carbonatite complexes were also emplaced in the Early Cretaceous. Geochemical and isotopic (C, 0, Sr and Nd) characteristics determined for five carbonatitic occurren…
The global, regional, and national burden of cirrhosis by cause in 195 countries and territories, 1990-2017 : a systematic analysis for the Global Bu…
2020
Background\ud \ud Cirrhosis and other chronic liver diseases (collectively referred to as cirrhosis in this paper) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally, although the burden and underlying causes differ across locations and demographic groups. We report on results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2017 on the burden of cirrhosis and its trends since 1990, by cause, sex, and age, for 195 countries and territories.\ud \ud \ud \ud Methods\ud \ud We used data from vital registrations, vital registration samples, and verbal autopsies to estimate mortality. We modelled prevalence of total, compensated, and decompensated cirrhosis on the bas…
