Między Starą a Nową Ojczyzną – muzyczna aktywność cymbalistów na Dolnym Śląsku w latach 50. XX wieku
2022
W artykule omówiono zagadnienie muzycznej aktywności cymbalistów, którzy zmuszeni byli do migracji z przedwojennych kresów wschodnich (Wileńszczyzny, Galicji Wschodniej) na Dolny Śląsk po II wojnie światowej. Będąc nowymi osadnikami na tzw. Ziemiach Odzyskanych, otoczeni ludnością o różnym pochodzeniu regionalnym, cymbaliści próbowali w nowych warunkach kontynuować muzyczną działalność. W tekście ukazane są różne sposoby adaptacji do nowej sytuacji wykonawczej w nowym miejscu zamieszkania: budowanie kolejnych instrumentów, granie w kapelach ludowych składających się z członków o różnym pochodzeniu regionalnym, próby indywidualnego muzykowania oparte na wykonywaniu muzyki tanecznej z regionu…
Psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the involvement evaluation questionnaire in caregivers of patients with borderline personality diso…
2018
The involvement evaluation questionnaire (IEQ) was created to evaluate the caregiver's experience of burden and the consequences of providing care to people with psychotic disorders. To date, the IEQ has not been validated with caregivers of people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD). The main objective of the study was to confirm the psychometric properties and factorial structure of the Spanish version of the IEQ in 151 caregivers of people with BPD, with an average age of 54.52 (SD = 9.91). Two models were tested by means of confirmatory factor analysis, following the original factor structure. The Models 1 and 2 displayed adequate fit, with comparative fit index and Tuc…
Differential Change of Borderline Personality Disorder Traits During Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Adolescents
2019
Despite the expansion of treatment options for adults with borderline personality disorder (BPD), research on treatment options for adolescent BPD is scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of dialectical behavior therapy for adolescents (DBT-A) on the individual trait level as primary outcome; and the frequency of suicide attempts and nonsuicidal self-injury, self-reported BPD core pathology, and general psychopathology as secondary outcomes. Seventy-two adolescents (aged 12–17 years) with full- or subsyndromal BPD were treated with DBT-A (25 single sessions, 20 sessions of skills training), and 13 patients (18.1%) withdrew during treatment. From baseline to post-treat…
Intestinal cholesterol absorption: identification of different binding proteins for cholesterol and cholesterol absorption inhibitors in the enterocy…
2003
Absorption of cholesterol from the intestine is a central part of body cholesterol homeostasis. The molecular mechanisms of intestinal cholesterol absorption and the proteins mediating membrane transport are not known. We therefore aimed to identify the proteins involved in intestinal cholesterol absorption across the luminal brush border membrane of small intestinal enterocytes. By photoaffinity labeling using photoreactive derivatives of cholesterol and 2-azetidinone cholesterol absorption inhibitors, an 80-kDa and a 145-kDa integral membrane protein were identified as specific binding proteins for cholesterol and cholesterol absorption inhibitors, respectively, in the brush border membra…
Kinetics of zinc transport in vitro in rat small intestine and colon: interaction with copper.
2002
The present study was planned to investigate the kinetic transport of zinc, in the intact intestine of the rat, in order to establish if more than one transporter is involved as well as the existence of a preferent sector in the cation uptake. Using an in vitro technique, the influx of zinc across the brush border membrane in three sectors of the small intestine (proximal, mid and distal) and in the colon of the rat was measured at six different concentrations (from 0.0007 to 11 mM). The kinetic study showed that intestinal transport of zinc occurs by a saturable process in the small intestine. The K(m) value obtained in the proximal segment (10.78+/-4.40 mM) is clearly higher than those ob…
Gross motor proficiency and intellectual functioning
2018
Abstract This cross-sectional study examines differences in gross motor proficiency as a function of different intellectual functioning profiles. Two motor areas have been investigated as being equally essential to gross motor functions in every-day life: locomotion and object control. It aims to compare gross motor skills endorsed by children with Down syndrome (DS), children with borderline intellectual functioning (BIF), and typically developing children (TDC). Group 1 was composed of 18 children with DS (chronological age = 8.22), group 2 was composed of 18 children with BIF (chronological age = 9.32), and group 3 was composed of 18 children with typical development (TD) (chronological …
Emotional awareness and cognitive performance in borderline intellectual functioning young adolescents
2019
According to DSM-5 and ICD-10, borderline intellectual functioning (BIF) should not be classified properly as a disorder. However, BIF people may present relevant problems of adaptive functioning in several areas of daily activities, and they seem to be more vulnerable to mental diseases. Young adolescence may be considered a particular period for emotional information processing. The "own and others' emotions" awareness can play a crucial role in many daily life situations, such as decision making, interpersonal relationships, and decoding of facial expressions. On this background, a BIF young adolescents group underwent a neuropsychological assessment including emotional and cognitive dom…
Glucose/galactose malabsorption caused by a defect in the Na+/glucose cotransporter.
1991
Glucose/galactose malabsorption (GGM) is an autosomal recessive disease manifesting within the first weeks of life and characterized by a selective failure to absorb dietary glucose and galactose from the intestine. The consequent severe diarrhoea and dehydration are usually fatal unless these sugars are eliminated from the diet. Intestinal biopsies of GGM patients have revealed a specific defect in Na(+)-dependent absorption of glucose in the brush border. Normal glucose absorption is mediated by the Na+/glucose cotransporter in the brush border membrane of the intestinal epithelium. Cellular influx is driven by the transmembrane Na+ electrochemical potential gradient; thereafter the sugar…
Benign myoclonic epilepsy in infancy: neuropsychological and behavioural outcome
2003
Benign myoclonic epilepsy in infancy (BMEI) is a rare syndrome of idiopathic generalized epilepsies with onset below 3 years of age. It has been reported that BMEI is associated with a good prognosis, however, recently some studies suggest less favourable neuropsychological outcome. We report a long-term follow-up of seven patients with BMEI. Seizure outcome and neuropsychological, cognitive, and behavioural evolution were discussed for each of them. At the end of follow-up, 86% of children showed neuropsychological and intellectual disorders: two children had mental retardation, three patients achieved a borderline IQ and one normal but low IQ. All but one displayed neuropsychological disa…
Cross-linguistic variation in the neurophysiological response to semantic processing: Evidence from anomalies at the borderline of awareness
2014
The N400 event-related brain potential (ERP) has played a major role in the examination of how the human brain processes meaning. For current theories of the N400, classes of semantic inconsistencies which do not elicit N400 effects have proven particularly influential. Semantic anomalies that are difficult to detect are a case in point ("borderline anomalies", e.g. "After an air crash, where should the survivors be buried?"), engendering a late positive ERP response but no N400 effect in English (Sanford, Leuthold, Bohan, & Sanford, 2011). In three auditory ERP experiments, we demonstrate that this result is subject to cross-linguistic variation. In a German version of Sanford and colleagu…
