PASTORAČNÁ STAROSTLIVOSŤ GRÉCKOKATOLÍCKEJ CIRKVI O RODINY POČAS DRUHEJ SVETOVEJ VOJNY NA ÚZEMÍ SLOVENSKA

The Second World War significantly influenced the lives of Christians in Slovakia, despite the fact that the actual combat operations are affected to the territory of Slovakia in 1944. New conditions for the split of Czechoslovakia, Poland and the war against the Soviet Union and in particular racial laws against Jews created the need for pastoral adaptation to adverse conditions. The study is the pastoral action of the Greek Catholic Church in the years 1939-1945, which particularly focused on saving the lives of racially persecuted Jewish families during and after combat operations has been much attention paid to the families and the families of refugees who escaped from the approaching Red Army. The study is divided into three parts and is presented in the first religious- social situation of the Greek Catholic Church in Slovakia in 1939-1945.The next two sections are devoted to pastoral practice in rescue racially persecutedin the last third of the terms of pastoral care to families or individuals onthe run or in immediate danger of war

Gréckokatolícki mučeníci z obdobia neslobody 1939–1989

Pass of the twentieth century in Central Europe is marked by two totalitarian systems, which grossly restricted the freedom of people and stifled any opposition speeches. These included the free expression of religion at all levels of society. The presented study deals about the personalities of Greek Catholic Church in Central Europe, with emphasis on the territory of Czechoslovakia. These are individuals who had expressed opposition to the totalitarian regime. They also brought the greatest sacrifice of own life for bold attitude to cruel regime or were exposed to risk of death. Greek Catholic Church has declared blessed some of them after the process of investigation and thus forever entered them in the memory of the Greek Catholic Church. Among the presented figures are the bearers of the title Righteous Among the Nations, award-winning in Israel for unconditional aid to Jews during World War II, as they were risking the loss of his life and lives of family members for saving the racially and religiously persecuted. Given later, the contribution is divided into two parts, the first presents the blessed martyrs, that those who died as martyrs and the second part is devoted to individuals who risked their lives while were exposed to the death for rescuing Jews

Kościół Greckokatolicki w Czechosłowacji i jego likwidacja w kontekście sowieckiej polityki antykościelnej na terenie Europy Środkowej i Wschodniej

Likwidacja Kościoła greckokatolickiego w Czechosłowacji była częścią szeroko zakrojonych działań antykościelnych reżimow komunistycznych pozostających pod kontrolą Związku Sowieckiego. Autorzy zwracają uwagę na postępowanie totalitarnego reżimu wobec omawianej wspolnoty religijnej w Czechosłowacji, ze szczegolnym uwzględnieniem identycznych lub podobnych procesow w Europie Środkowej. Opisują wpływ wydarzeń w Polsce i Związku Sowieckim na proces likwidacji Kościoła greckokatolickiego oraz omawiają przebieg jego likwidacji i konsekwencje tego faktu dla społeczeństwa. Ważnym elementem opracowania jest opis reakcji grekokatolikow na przymusową konwersję na prawosławie

Role of Post-Acute Care on Hospital Readmission After High-Risk Surgery

Background: Payment models, including the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program and bundled payments, place pressures on hospitals to limit readmissions. Against this backdrop, we sought to investigate the association of post-acute care after major surgery and readmission rates. Methods: We identified patients undergoing high-risk surgery (abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, coronary bypass grafting, aortic valve replacement, carotid endarterectomy, esophagectomy, pancreatectomy, lung resection, and cystectomy) from 2005 to 2010 using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project’s State Inpatient Database. The primary outcome was readmission rates after major surgery. Secondary outcome was readmission length of stay. Results: We identified 135,523 patients of whom 56,720 (42%) received post-acute care. Patients receiving post-acute care had higher readmission rates than those who were discharged home (16% versus 10%, respectively; p<0-.001). The risk adjusted readmission length of stay was greatest for patients who received care from a skilled nursing facility, followed by those who received home care, and lowest for those who did not receive post-acute care (7.1 vs. 5.4 vs. 4.8 days, respectively; p < 0.001). Conclusions: The use of post-acute care was associated with higher readmission rates and higher readmission lengths of stay. Improving the support of patients in post-acute care settings may help reduce readmissions and readmission intensity
