Wpływ zróżnicowania narodowościowego na poziom kapitału społecznego lokalnej wspólnoty. Badania porównawcze w wybranych gminach województwa opolskiego
2019
Badania związane z pomiarem kapitału społecznego są w ostatnich 20 latach jednym z dominujących obszarów zainteresowań w naukach społecznych. Ciekawym zagadnieniem jest wpływ zróżnicowania narodowościowego na poziom kapitału społecznego. Jak twierdzi Robert Putnam, w warunkach amerykańskich zróżnicowanie to negatywnie wpływa na poziom kapitału społecznego. Realizowane w Europie inicjatywy badawcze wskazują jednak, że zróżnicowanie narodowościowe nie wykazuje znaczącej negatywnej korelacji z kapitałem społecznym, a nawet można znaleźć przykłady, gdy oddziałuje nań pozytywnie. W artykule przeprowadzono analizę ilościową w 20 gminach województwa opolskiego (10 jednolitych narodowościowo, 10 zr…
Effects of levodopa oral bolus on the kinematics of the pointing movements in Parkinson's disease patients.
2005
We studied the time-course of a levodopa oral bolus effects on the kinematics of patients affected by a mild akinetic-rigid form of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). Eleven PD patients were evaluated: a) in OFF-state, that is before their first medication or after its withdrawal, b) in ON-state, that is at 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 24, 30 and 48 hours after the administration of 250 mg of levodopa plus 25mg of carbidopa. The main kinematics (i. e.movement time, peak of velocity, peak of acceleration and peak of deceleration) of pointing movements to six target-stimuli placed on the horizontal plane of a table were recorded. Clinical conditions were assessed according to the Motor Examinatio…
RESTRICTIONS ON REGIONAL PASSENGER TRANSPORT DURING EPIDEMIOLOGICAL THREAT (COVID-19) – AN EXAMPLE OF THE LOWER SILESIAN VOIVODSHIP IN POLAND
2020
The beginning of 2020 was associated with the appearance of the global coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). The spread of the epidemic caused the introduction of an epidemiological emergency in Poland in early March (on March 12). This resulted in reduced public transport, including regional rail transport. In Lower Silesia, this concerned regional and fast connections. The conducted analysis concerns regional connections and is based on exploration of the spatial and the quantitative aspect of these changes. The transport offer before and after the announcing of the epidemic was analysed. The results showed that most of the transport restrictions concerned the peripheries of the voivodeship (l…

Structural Changes in Production of Animals For Slaughter in Poland in 2004–2014 Across the Voivodeships
2017
Celem artykułu jest określenie zmian struktury oraz tempa wzrostu produkcji żywca rzeźnego w województwach Polski w latach 2004–2014 według gatunków, z zastosowaniem klasycznej metody przesunięć udziałów. Ponadto zidentyfikowano i oszacowano udział czynników strukturalnych oraz regionalnych w wielkości efektu globalnego (produkcji żywca rzeźnego w Polsce ogółem) w przekroju województw. Na podstawie wyników badań wykazano, że zróżnicowanie tempa zmian produkcji żywca rzeźnego związane jest przede wszystkim z pozycją konkurencyjną regionu, a w mniejszym stopniu zależne od zmian struktury produkcji
Cerebellar magnetic stimulation decreases levodopa-induced dyskinesias in Parkinson disease
2009
BACKGROUND: The neural mechanisms and the circuitry involved in levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) are still partially obscure. LID can be considered the consequence of an abnormal pattern or code of activity that originates and is conveyed from the basal ganglia to the thalamus and the cortical motor areas. However, not only striatothalamocortical motor circuits but also other interconnected pathways could be implicated in its pathogenesis. METHODS: In a series of experiments, we applied repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the lateral cerebellum in a group of patients with advanced Parkinson disease, to investigate whether modulation of cerebellothalamocortical circuits…

Attenuated beta rebound to proprioceptive afferent feedback in Parkinson's disease.
2018
AbstractMotor symptoms are defining traits in the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). A crucial component in motor function and control of movements is the integration of efferent signals from the motor network to the peripheral motor system, and afferent proprioceptive sensory feedback. Previous studies have indicated abnormal movement-related cortical oscillatory activity in PD, but the role of the proprioceptive afference on abnormal oscillatory activity in PD has not been elucidated. In the present study, we examine the role of proprioception by studying the cortical processing of proprioceptive stimulation in PD patients, ON/OFF levodopa medication, as compared to that of healthy co…
Chronic l-DOPA treatment increases striatal cannabinoid CB1 receptor mRNA expression in 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned rats
2000
Abstract The effect of a unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesion of the left medial forebrain bundle and 3 weeks treatment with l -DOPA of normal and 6-OHDA lesioned rats on CB1r mRNA expression was investigated by in situ hybridization. A 6-OHDA lesion of nigrostriatal pathway alone, confirmed by the loss of nigral tyrosine hydroxylase mRNA, did not alter CB1r mRNA levels in the dopamine depleted striatum. Similarly, chronic l -DOPA treatment of normal rats had no effect on striatal CB1r mRNA expression. In contrast, chronic l -DOPA treatment of 6-OHDA-lesioned rats significantly increased CB1r mRNA expression in the denervated striatum. These results suggest that the CB1r activity ma…
The analysis of the diet composition of the barn owl Tyto alba (Scopoli, 1769) from the region of Brzeg, Opolskie Voivodeship (Poland)
2022
Research on the diet composition of the barn owl Tyto alba was conducted near the town of Przecza in the area of Lewin Brzeski (Opolskie Voivodeship. On the basis of 1158 bone elements, 14 species of small mammals were found, including 4 insectivorous species (Sorex araneus, Sorex minutus, Neomys fodiens, Cocidura suaveolens), 5 vole species (Microtus arvalis, Microtus agrestis, Arvicola terrestris, Myodes glareolus, Microtus oeconomus) and 5 mouse species (Mus musculus, Apodemus agrarius, Apodemus flavicolis, Apodemus sylvaticus, Micromys minutus). The diet was dominated by 3 species: Microtus arvalis, Sorex araneus and the Apodemus agrarius. The conducted research clearly shows that the T…
