Formy pobożności praktykowane przez nyskich bożogrobców
2016
The liturgy is the essence of life in every Church and every monastery. Before the Council of Trent the liturgical life was very rich. Every diocese and many orders introduced to the Roman Liturgy some specific characteristics and rites. The Knights of the Holy Sepulchre had their own liturgy called “rite of the church of the Christ’s tomb”. It was a Roman-Gallican rite originated mainly in central France, adapted to the customs of Jerusalem. The study of the liturgy of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre from Nysa allows to highlight some specific characteristics of it. As an example we can mention the rites of Mandatum and Missa Crismatis celebrated on the Holy Thursday; Missa praesanctific…
Święcenia prezbiteratu w Kościołach syryjskich. Historia i struktura obrzędu
2018
Sakrament święceń należy do depozytu najistotniejszych misteriów pozostawionych Kościołowi przez Jezusa Chrystusa. Przekazywana w nim sukcesja apostolska jest gwarantem ciągłości tradycji i prawdziwości chrześcijańskiego kultu, skoncentrowanego na wciąż przychodzącym, dzięki posłudze ołtarza, Panu. Chociaż wynikające ze święceń funkcje są wspólne całemu Kościołowi, to jednak różne tradycje liturgiczne wypracowały własne rozumienie tegoż sakramentu i związanej z nim posługi. Niniejszy artykuł stanowi refleksję nad istotą kapłaństwa w stopniu prezbitera w przestrzeni liturgicznej Kościołów syryjskich. Autor wychodzi od prezentacji rozumienia sakramentu oraz jego trwałości i obowiązywalności, …
Konstantin Velikij i sv. Elena na freskah Âna Kubena v Vozdviženskom kostele v Bžege
2019
The paper introduces the splendid representations of Emperor Constantine the Great and Saint Helena in Jan Kuben’s frescos in the church under invocation of the Triumph of the Cross in Brzeg. They testify strongly of the incessant presence of the creative reflection over the Christian ancient times in the area of Opole Silesia in the period of the Catholic reform in the 18th century. Kuben’s trompe-l’oeil constitutes a wonderful combination of deeply experienced Catholic spirituality with the genius of the artist – a visionary.
Die Romantik und die Religion - eine ambivalente Beziehung
2017
Analizując wpływ romantyzmu na religię, dochodzi się do wniosku, że relacja literatury do religii może mieć ambiwalentny charakter. W prezentowanym artykule ambiwalencja ta zostanie zilustrowana poprzez rozwinięcie dwóch tez. Z jednej strony zostanie pokazane, iż romantyzm swoją fascynacją dla tego, co tajemnicze, wyświadczył religii pewną przysługę, a z drugiej, że swoim zamiłowaniem do tego, co uczuciowe, oraz swoim pielgrzymowaniem do wspomnień przyczynił się do wzrostu postawy pasywności w dziedzinie religijności.
La divisa de las granadas del rey Enrique IV de Castilla y su estela posterior
2015
ABSTRACT: This study analyzes the meaning of the impresa or device of the pomegranates, with the motto « Agro dulce », utilized by Henry IV (1425-1474), of the House of Trastamara, King of Castile from 1454 until his death. By means of a review of vestiges that remain of the device, especially in architectonic elements, I postulate that the pomegranate may have been used as the family impresa of the House of Trastamara and their descendants. This, it seems, can be deduced from the pictura of the device in several personal imprese of relatives who lived in the sixteenth century. KEYWORDS: pomegranate, devices, royal clemency, Henry IV, Catholic Monarchs, Catherine of Aragon, Charles V, Phili…
Forms of nostalgia in Henry James’s "The American Scene"
2018
Henry James was not a sentimental writer. However, in his later books we can find traces of repressed emotions and melancholy. One of the most intriguing literary documents showing the nostalgic strain in James is his collection The American Scene (1907), a record of the novelist’s return to the USA after a twenty-years-old absence. It contains various manifestations of James’s nostalgia – for example, his memories of New York and his melancholic recollections of the places connected with his youth. Also, it shows James’s convoluted rhetoric of memory as a space of repression and displacement as well as his unwillingness to address these issues in a direct fashion.
Endogenous noradrenaline release from guinea-pig isolated trachea is inhibited by activation of M2 receptors
1992
Overflow of endogenous noradrenaline (NA) from guinea-pig isolated tracheae was evoked by electrical field stimulation (3 Hz, 540 pulses). The muscarinic receptor agonist oxotremorine inhibited the evoked overflow of NA in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50 84 nM). Methoctramine, pirenzepine and p-fluoro-hexahydrosiladiphenidol (each 1 microM) shifted the concentration-response curves of oxotremorine to the right with apparent pA2 values of 7.60, 6.74 and 6.18, respectively. It is concluded that sympathetic nerve terminals in the guinea-pig trachea are endowed with inhibitory muscarinic M2 receptors.
The effects of several muscarinic antagonists on pre- and postsynaptic receptors in the isolated rabbit heart
1981
In order to reveal possible differences between pre- and postsynaptic muscarine receptors, seven antagonists were tested for their affinities on these receptor sites in the rabbit isolated perfused heart. Methacholine was used as an agonist to inhibit the noradrenaline overflow evoked by electrical stimulation (3 Hz, 3 min) of the sympathetic nerves (presynaptic parameter) and to decrease the systolic tension development of the right atrium (postsynaptic parameter). The affinity of an antagonist was expressed as pA2. A decreasing order of potency was obtained with ipratropium, scopolamine, atropine, trihexyphenidyl, amitriptyline, and gallamine, both for pre- and postsynaptic responses. The…
Antispasmodic Effects and Structure−Activity Relationships of Labdane Diterpenoids from Marrubium globosum ssp. libanoticum
2009
Marrubium globosum ssp. libanoticum is a medicinal plant used in Lebanon to reduce pain and smooth muscle spasms. A chloroform extract obtained from M. globosum aerial parts reduced acetylcholine-induced contractions in the isolated mouse ileum. The purification of this extract identified, among 12 isolated labdane diterpenoids, four new compounds, named 13-epicyllenin A (4), 13,15-diepicyllenin A (5), marrulibacetal (9), and marrulactone (11). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods. Compound 9, which exerted antispasmodic activity, is likely the active ingredient of the extract. Preliminary structure-activity relationships for this class of compounds are suggested.
