Na przedpolach Kamieńca Podolskiego. Zdławienie konfederacji barskiej na Podolu w świetle raportów Jana de Witte
2018
W artykule przedstawiona została sytuacja strategiczna twierdzy Kamieniec Podolski w okresie od zimy 1768 r. do zimy 1769 r., gdy na Podolu trwała konfederacja barska. Komendant twierdzy Józef de Witte dokładał wszelkich starań, aby utrzymać twierdzę, a przede wszystkim stanowiących jej garnizon żołnierzy w jak najlepszej kondycji, a przy tym dochować wierności królowi Stanisławowi Augustowi. Z zachowanych w Archiwum Narodowym w Krakowie raportów J. Witte do króla, Komisji Wojskowej oraz wysokich urzędników i dowódców wojska koronnego wynika, że w pełni mu się to udało. Raporty Wittego są przy tym cennym źródłem do zbadania procesu zdławienia przez wojska rosyjskie konfederacji barskiej na …
Safety and efficacy of intensity-modulated radiotherapy in the management of spermatic cord sarcoma.
2017
International audience; Purpose. - Spermatic cord sarcoma is a rare disease, which management remains controversial due to the lack of guidelines. The standard therapeutic approach is surgical: wide soft-tissue resection with radical inguinal orchidectomy, The diagnosis is made during the analysis of the specimen. The high rate of local recurrence indicates adjuvant radiotherapy of the tumor bed. The aim of this series is to determine the efficacy and safety of postoperative intensity-modulated radiotherapy for spermatic cord sarcomas. Patients and methods. - Our series included five consecutive cases of spermatic cord sarcoma treated between 2011 and 2014. The indications for radiotherapy …
Uleczyć rany: przez nawrócenie do pełnej wspólnoty. W obliczu 500-lecia Reformacji
2017
Obchody upamiętniające 500-lecie Reformacji w wielu miejscach na świecie zostały uroczyście rozpoczęte dnia 31. października 2016 r. Jest to dzień w którym Marcin Luter upublicznił swoje tezy, w oparciu o które zamierzał rozpocząć wielką debatę na temat istotnych kierunków reformy Kościoła. W szwedzkim Lund, w uroczystej inauguracji upamiętnienia tego wydarzenia wziął udział papież Franciszek wraz z b-pem Munibem Younanem, przewodniczącym Światowej Federacji Luterańskiej oraz przedstawiciele różnych Kościołów i środowisk chrześcijańskich. Wydarzenie to zainaugurowało wielką wspólną modlitwę o jedność. Stało się też początkiem nowego etapu na drodze oceny Reformacji i osoby Marcina Lutra w o…
Gelatinases and their tissue inhibitors in a group of subjects with metabolic syndrome.
2013
Aim To evaluate matrix metalloproteases (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteases (TIMP)-1 and TIMP-2 in a group of subjects with metabolic syndrome (MS) subdivided according to the presence or absence of diabetes mellitus. Methods We examined in 90 subjects (51 men and 39 women) with MS, defined following the International Diabetes Federation criteria, and subsequently subdivided into diabetic subjects (22 men and 11 women) and nondiabetic subjects s (29 men and 28 women), the plasma concentrations of MMP-2 and MMP-9 and of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 using specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. Results We found a significant increase in plasma concentrations of MMP-2, MMP…
Frequent Consumption of Sugar- and Artificially Sweetened Beverages and Natural and Bottled Fruit Juices Is Associated with an Increased Risk of Meta…
2016
Background: The relation between the consumption of sweetened beverages and metabolic syndrome (MetS) is controversial. Objective: This analysis evaluated the associations between intakes of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), artificially sweetened beverages, and natural and bottled fruit juices and the incidence of MetS in elderly individuals at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and without MetS at baseline. Methods: We prospectively examined 1868 participants free of MetS at baseline from the PREDIMED (PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea) study. MetS was defined by using the updated harmonized criteria of the International Diabetes Federation, the American Heart Association, and Nati…

An overview of the music therapy professional recognition in the EU
2016
This article documents the development of the professional recognition of music therapy in the EU. First, a brief history of the origins of modern music therapy in Europe is presented, followed by more detailed analysis of the establishment of training courses and professional associations across Europe. Second, the stages in the professionalization process according to Ridder, Lerner and Suvini (2015) are discussed. Third, the importance of the European Music Therapy Confederation in promoting music therapy recognition in the EU is highlighted.
Measurement of the Inclusive NuMu Charged Current Cross Section on Carbon in the Near Detector of the T2K Experiment
2013
T2K has performed the first measurement of nu(mu) inclusive charged current interactions on carbon at neutrino energies of similar to 1 GeV where the measurement is reported as a flux-averaged double differential cross section in muon momentum and angle. The flux is predicted by the beam Monte Carlo and external data, including the results from the NA61/SHINE experiment. The data used for this measurement were taken in 2010 and 2011, with a total of 10.8 x 10(19) protons-on-target. The analysis is performed on 4485 inclusive charged current interaction candidates selected in the most upstream fine-grained scintillator detector of the near detector. The flux-averaged total cross section is (…
Measurement of an excess ofB¯→D(*)τ−ν¯τdecays and implications for charged Higgs bosons
2013
The concept for this analysis is to a large degree based on earlier BABAR work and we acknowledge the guidance provided by M. Mazur. The authors consulted with theorists A. Datta, S. Westhoff, S. Fajfer, J. Kamenik, and I. Nisandzic on the calculations of the charged Higgs contributions to the decay rates. We are grateful for the extraordinary contributions of our PEP-II colleagues in achieving the excellent luminosity and machine conditions that have made this work possible. The success of this project also relied critically on the expertise and dedication of the computing organizations that support BABAR. The collaborating institutions wish to thank SLAC for its support and the kind hospi…
