Kościoły Środy Wielkopolskiej według akt wizytacji Franciszka Ksawerego Rydzyńskiego z 1777 roku

In the 18th century, Środa Wielkopolska was a significant town in Wielkopolska province. It belonged to the Archdiocese of Poznań in the diocese of Poznań and was the seat of the deanery. The parish church of the Blessed Virgin Mary Assumpted , built in the fifteenth century, possessed the rank of a collegiate church. In addition, there was a Dominican convent in the town, and four small churches (oratorios) in the suburbs. Acts of the general visitation carried out by Franciszek Ksawery Rydzyński show the state of the collegiate and other temples in 1777. Numerous altars and two collegiate chapels had their own payoff. There were several brotherhoods, and the clergy, due to the existing chapter and the altar foundations, were more numerous than in many other churches of the diocese. An annex was attached to the article, which contains the acts of the aforementioned church visits in Środa translated into Polish.W XVIII wieku Środa Wielkopolska była znaczącym miasteczkiem w Wielkopolsce. Przynależała do archidiakonatu poznańskiego w diecezji poznańskiej i była siedzibą dekanatu. Kościół parafialny pw. Najświętszej Maryi Panny Wniebowziętej, wybudowany w XV wieku, posiadał rangę kolegiaty. Ponadto w mieście istniał konwent dominikanów, a na przedmieściach cztery niewielkie kościółki (oratoria). Akta wizytacji generalnej przeprowadzonej przez Franciszka Ksawerego Rydzyńskiego ukazują stan kolegiaty i innych świątyń w 1777 roku. Liczne ołtarze i dwie kaplice kolegiaty miały własne uposażenie, istniało kilka bractw, a duchowieństwo ze względu na istniejącą kapitułę i fundacje altaryjne było liczniejsze niż w wielu innych kościołach diecezji. Do artykułu został dołączony aneks, który zawiera akta wspomnianej wizytacji kościołów w Środzie w przekładzie na język polski

Wspomnienie o matce Joannie Marii Korytko (1887-1958) Przyczynek do historii poznańskich karmelitanek bosych

The remembrance of Mother Joanna Maria Korytko (1887-1958), a Discalced Carmelite nun was written by one of her fellow sisters at the Carmelite convent in Poznań, Sister Maria Józefa Szweda. Until recently it was only in manuscript version. The text represents a literary trend known as convent writings which has a long and rich tradition among Discalced Carmelites. Mother Joanna Maria of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus (Teresa Korytko) came from a landed gentry family in Podolia. After obtaining an education at the Sacré-Coeur boarding school in Prague and Zbylitowska Góra as well as at the school run by Jadwigi Zamoyska in Kuźnice, in 1907 she joined the convent of Discalced Carmelites in Kraków at Łobzowska Street. In the years 1920-1940 she lived at the newly founded convent in Poznań at Niegolewskich Street. She spent the period of German occupation in Kraków and after the end of the Second World War returned to Poznań where she served as mother superior of the community of nuns. Faced by the loss of the previous residence she organized a convent at a new location at St. Adalbert Street. She fulfilled the responsibilities of mother superior for twelve years distinguishing herself by her deep spiritual life and  aithfulness to the charism of St. Teresa of Jesus

Accelerating progress towards the Zero Hunger Goal in cross-boundary climate change hotspots

The most recent 2017 United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals progress report highlighted the need to accelerate the pace of progress in order for the Sustainable Development Goals to be fully achieved. Responding to these concerns, the present commen tary proposes four distinct, but interrelated approaches to accelerate the Zero Hunger G oal in transboundary climate change hotspots, regions which suffer from multiple stressors and vulnerabilities, and in which prevalence of food insecurity and malnutrition often remains disproportionately high. These conceptual, programmatic and policy approaches are discussed drawing from a newly developed conceptual framework and referring to specific examples from climate change hotspots around the world

An Experimental Education Project for Consultations of Older Adults during the Pandemic and Healthcare Lockdown

Objective: To develop a mentor-supervised, interprofessional, geriatric telemedicine experiential education project in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Medical and pharmacy students collaborated via remote consultations to address the coexistence of multimorbidity and polypharmacy in geriatric patients. In-depth interviews of students and patients as well as Likert scale-based telephonic survey were performed for a comprehensive evaluation of the project’s significance. Results: To date, 49 consultations have been conducted. Remote consultations performed by medical and pharmacy students working collaboratively were beneficial for both students, participants. Conclusions and Practice Implications: This experimental education project provided students with authentic challenges while simultaneously delivering care to the older adults who are susceptible to disruption of care associated with the pandemic. Further development and expanded implementation of such approaches may be a post-pandemic practice to provide more accessible care for senior patients while incorporating interprofessional education
