Chapter EAEA Younger Staff Training as a Learning Journey

The EAEA Younger Staff Training is a good example of a successful initiative that encour-ages the professional development of adult education staff, builds new collaborations, and explores the diversity of policy and practice in adult learning in Europe. Organized annually since 2011, the training programme has undergone several modifications over the years to adapt to the changing needs of adult education professionals. The paper looks at the content and structure of the programme, with specific attention to how these have evolved and the rationale behind the changes. It also briefly describes why the training programme continues to be successful and its benefits for both the participants and the organizers

Soil moisture under no-tillage and tillage systems in maize long-term experiment

The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of conventional till (CT) and no-till (NT) cultivation systems in long term experiment with maize on soil water dynamics using continuous soil moisture (SM) measurements in the 2014, 2015, 2016 vegetation seasons. The ability of HERMES model to simulate SM was also evaluated in Polish conditions. The long term experiment with maize is located in the Grabów Experimental Farm of Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation – State Research Institute in Masovian Voivodeship – Central Poland (51˚21´18´´N, 21˚40´09´´E). The HERMES model was calibrated by modification of temperature sums in crop parameters file and capacity parameters (field capacity and wilting point) of the experimental site. The results show that NT system has a positive impact on soil water content. However, this improvement is dependent on a year, phenological phase and soil layer. The results showed also that calibrated (until now) model HERMES is able to simulate SM in a wet year. For simulation of SM in a dry year there is still need for future improvement of calibration parameters

Beyond Pills: Synergizing Pharmacological and Physical Activity Interventions in Fibromyalgia Treatment. A review

Introduction and purpose Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive impairment, affecting 2-4% of the global population, with a higher prevalence among women and those of lower socioeconomic status. The pathogenesis of FM is complex and multifactorial, involving central sensitization and neurochemical dysregulation. This review highlights the latest advancements in pharmacological and behavioral therapies for fibromyalgia. State of knowledge Management of fibromyalgia currently is based on a combination of medication use and non-pharmacological approaches, primarily based on physical activity and cognitive-behavioral therapy. This review explores advancements in FM treatments, focusing on novel pharmacological agents such as vortioxetine, eslicarbazepine acetate, and tapentadol, which target specific neurochemical pathways to alleviate symptoms. Vortioxetine offers new mechanisms of action with potential cognitive benefits, while eslicarbazepine acetate and tapentadol provide alternative approaches for pain modulation and central sensitization. Additionally, non-pharmacological therapies, including high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and virtual reality (VR) therapy, demonstrate promise in enhancing physical fitness, reducing pain, and improving quality of life for FM patients. Summary Overall, the integration of these novel therapies into comprehensive, individualized treatment plans can optimize outcomes and enhance the quality of life for individuals with FM. Ongoing research and personalized medicine approaches are essential to further refine and validate these emerging treatments

Finish-spare the shame : realism of hellish quart and alt-sarmatian ideology

This article provides in-depth analysis of Hellish Quart: a fighting game set in 17th century Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, and cherished for its realism, vis-a-vis Neosarmatian ideology of the Polish alt-right: the current iteration of centuries-old origin myth of Polish nobility. While we do not consider the game a willing participant in the proliferation of Alt-Sarmatian ideas, we claim the pervasiveness of Sarmatism within Polish national identity makes it difficult not to consider the conservative approach to national history a 'realistic one." In this article, we present the shortened history of both Sarmatian myth and the special place sabre-fighting occupies in Polish culture, and utilize them to understand ideological entanglement of the "realism" offered by Hellish Quart regarding the vision of the past and the mechanics of combat

Ocena możliwości ograniczenia śladu węglowego w uprawie kukurydzy na ziarno

Celem pracy jest ocena możliwości ograniczenia emisji gazów cieplarnianych (GC) w uprawie kukurydzy na ziarno przy użyciu metodyki łączącej szacowanie śladu węglowego (CF) z metodą DEA. Do analiz wykorzystano dane ankietowe pochodzące z 32 gospodarstw w Polsce. Przedstawiono ocenę ilościową emisji gazów cieplarnianych z podziałem na główne źródła emisji w tych gospodarstwach, według metodyki oceny śladu węglowego zaproponowanej przez IPCC. Następnie określono możliwości ograniczenia poziomu emisji GC według założeń metody DEA. Potencjał ograniczenia emisji dla analizowanych gospodarstw określono w przedziale od 94 do 1047 kg CO2-eq/ha (od 3,3 do 33,4%)
