Reakcje władz na zagrożenia bezpieczeństwa związane z przemianami demokratycznymi na Uniwersytecie Mikołaja Kopernika

The Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń played an essential role in the process of democratic transformation during the early period of the ‘Solidarity’ movement. It was here that the first movement of so-called horizontal structures started, which dominated the University Committee of the Polish United Workers’ Party. The university community could exert pressure – through the University Committee ‘Solidarity’ or the Independent Students’ Association – on the authorities to fulfil the freedom demands. Threats to security imposed by the ongoing democratisation processes were monitored by the security apparatus, and the reports were analysed by the party leadership. The purpose of the article is to present the reaction of the voivodeship authorities to the security threats which, seen from their perspective, resulted from the democratic changes taking place at the Nicolaus Copernicus University during the first ‘Solidarity’ period.Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika odegrał ważną rolę w procesie przemian demokratycznych w okresie pierwszej „Solidarności”. To tu zawiązał się pierwszy ruch struktur poziomych, który zdominował Komitetu Uczelniany PZPR, a społeczność akademicka poprzez Komitet Uczelniany „Solidarność”, czy Niezależne Zrzeszenie Studentów mogła naciskać na władze w celu realizacji postulatów wolnościowych. Zagrożenia bezpieczeństwa wynikające z procesu demokratyzacji były monitorowane przez aparat bezpieczeństwa, a raporty analizowane przez władze partyjne. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie reakcji władz wojewódzkich na zagrożenia bezpieczeństwa, które w ich optyce wynikały z przemian demokratycznych mających miejsce na Uniwersytecie Mikołaja Kopernika w okresie pierwszej Solidarności

Pytania, które nie zostały zadane… „Dialog należy kontynuować…” Rozmowy operacyjne Służby Bezpieczeństwa z ks. Henrykiem Gulbinowiczem z lat 1969–1985. Studium przypadku, wybór, wstęp, oprac. Rafał Łatka, Filip Musiał, Warszawa–Kraków 2020

The article focuses on the polemic with a comprehensive introduction by Rafał Łatka and Filip Musiał to the analysed source edition. The authors of the present text question the thesis about the highly incriminating character of Henryk Gulbinowicz’s conversations with functionaries of the Security Service (SB). They also emphasise that Gulbinowicz played a certain game with the Service, and it was he who defined the framework of the specific dialogue. This game was not necessarily played without the knowledge of Primate Stefan Wyszyński. The authors of the article, however, fully agree with the opinion of the book’s editors that Henryk Gulbinowicz was never a personal source of information to SB.Artykuł koncentruje się na polemice z obszernym wstępem, który Rafał Łatka i Filip Musiał zamieścili na początku omawianego wydawnictwa źródłowego. Autorzy tekstu podważają tezę o mocno obciążającym dla Henryka Gulbinowicza charakterze rozmów z funkcjonariuszami SB. Podkreślają też, że ksiądz prowadził ze służbami rodzaj gry i to on określał ramy swoistego dialogu. Gra ta niekoniecznie toczyła się bez wiedzy prymasa Stefana Wyszyńskiego. Autorzy artykułu zgadzają się natomiast w pełni z twierdzeniem redaktorów książki, że ks. Gulbinowicz nie był nigdy osobowym źródłem informacji SB

Effect of Aging on the Lower Limb Kinematics in Karate Practitioners: Comparing Athletes and Their Senseis

With the life expectancy increasing, older adult population has gained the attention of many researchers. Aging is known to lead to a general decline in bodily functions, which affect the quality of life. The aim of this study was to analyze how the aging process affects veteran active karate practitioners, in the kinematic and temporal structure of the frontal kick. Nine black belt karate practitioners over 50 years old and 24 black belt karate practitioners, aged between 20 and 30 years old, all male, performed the frontal kick mae-geri. Results showed that knee is the structure that holds most differences between young and veterans, both for linear and for angular variables during the mae-geri performance. Statistical differences were found in linear velocity for the knee; linear acceleration of the knee, hip, and RASIS; maximum angular velocity for knee and hip; maximum angular acceleration for ankle and hip; and in the range of motion of knee. The temporal variables show differences, between groups, in maximum linear velocity, maximum linear acceleration, and maximum angular acceleration. However, no differences were found between groups for the time before contact in the maximum linear and angular acceleration, which allow us to remark both the effects of the aging process and the effect of training. This study corroborates the ability of older people to achieve benefits from sports practice, achieving higher efficiency than the younger adults in task execution, but using different motor control strategies.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Prognostic significance of the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score in patients undergoing hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background: The clinical value of the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has increased. The aim of this meta-analysis was to systematically review the association between the CONUT score and outcomes in patients undergoing hepatectomy for HCC. Methods: Embase, Medline Ovid, Web of Science, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Google Scholar were systematically searched. Random effects meta-analyses were conducted to examine the prognostic value of the CONUT score in HCC patients. Results: A total of five studies including 4679 patients were found to be eligible and analyzed in the meta-analysis. The CONUT score was significantly associated with overall survival (HR 1.78, 95%CI = 1.20-2.64, P = 0.004, I-2 = 79%), recurrence-free survival (HR 1.34, 95%CI = 1.17-1.53, P Conclusions: The CONUT score is an independent prognostic indicator of the prognosis and is associated with postoperative major complications and hepatic functional reserve in HCC patients

Socioeconomic and sex differences in health care utilisation, counselling on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, and CVD risk factors control in the Polish population : the WOBASZ II Study

Background: Socioeconomic status (SES) is one of the causes of inequality in health care utilisation. There is no information whether differences in SES influence the frequency of counselling on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors or risk factors control. Aim: We sought to assess the relationship between SES and the frequency of medical consultations, hospitalisations, counselling on CVD risk factors, and successful CVD risk factors control. Methods: WOBASZ II was a cross-sectional study targeting a representative sample of the Polish population. Trained nurses interviewed participants using a standard questionnaire, collecting information on education, income, self-rated health, and health care utilisation. Blood samples were collected according to standardised methods. Results: A total of 2303 men and 2848 women were included in the analysis. Compared to those with low SES, men with medium or high SES were 68% and 46% more likely to use medical consultations, respectively. Women with medium and high SES used medical consultations 60% more often than those with low SES. Men with medium and high SES had blood pressure measured more often (by 31% and 43%, respectively), and more frequently received nutritional (by 45% and 59%, respectively) and physical activity counselling (by 92% and 122%, respectively). No differences in CVD risk factors control were found. Conclusions: High SES was associated with more frequent medical visits in both sexes. The associations of SES with counselling on CVD risk factors substantially differed between the sexes in favour of men with high SES. However, more complex consultations in high SES men were not followed by better CVD risk factors control
