Entrepreneurship research in the Poland

Access to financing plays an eminent role for a small enterprise sector in any economy. Research usually finds a positive size efficiency relationship, but few studies focus on sectors dominated by small and medium-sized firms (SMEs). This paper fills this gap by analyzing this relationship in the Polish industry sector, which is both successful and increasingly dominated by SMEs. It is envisaged that this study will contribute to the existing literature on small enterprise financing, with an emphasis on financial constraints in the Polish small enterprise industry sector. The paper presents only part of research. Analysis of the data will present an insight into the actual barriers for small enterprises constraints associated with debt financing arrangements.

Nowe dane o bzygowatych (Syrphidae) Ojcowskiego Parku Narodowego. New data on the hoverflies (Syrphidae) of the Ojców National Park.

The paper summarizes new data on 70 previously recorded species of hoverflies in Ojców National Park. In this area another 11 species are discovered for the first time. Sphegina montana BECKER, 1921 was not listed from Poland since XIX century. Among the newly recorded species are also those that are considered rare in their range: Cheilosia nebulosa (VERRALL, 1871); Eumerus flavitarsis ZETTERSTEDT, 1843; Myolepta dubia (FABRICIUS, 1805); Neocnemodon larusi VUJIĆ, 1999; N. latitarsis (EGGER, 1865); Xylota jakutorum BAGATSHANOVA, 1980. Erroneous report of Parasyrphus kirgizorum (PECK, 1961) in ONP refers to Syrphus nitidifrons BECKER, 1921. As a result number of Syrphidae species recorded from Ojców National Park reached 185

An update on the epidemiology, imaging and therapy of brain metastases

Introduction.The incidence of brain metastases (BM) is rapidly increasing, with most cases occurring in patients aged 50–80 years and in 10–40% of patients with systemic neoplastic disease. The Graded Prognostic Assessment (GPA) is the most impartial prognostic method, according to which the average survival rate of patients with brain metastases is only 7.18 months. Purpose.To present a systematic review of the currently available evidence-based literature on the epidemiology, dia­gnosis, and treatment of BM. Methods.The authors searched PubMed up to March 2020 using the phrases “brain metastases”, “brain metastasis surgery”, and “brain metastases treatment”, which returned 65 citations. Conclusions.The choice of imaging and therapy for brain metastases remains a significant clinical problem. MRI, including T1, T1 + C, T2, FLAIR, and SWI sequences, is the most sensitive method for solitary BM detection, while other techniques such as spectroscopy, perfusion imaging, or fractional anisotropy contribute to diagnosis precision and neurological deficit avoidance in cases eligible for surgery. According to current treatment algorithms, three main methods are used to mana­ge BM: surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, depending on the expected effect and the patient’s clinical condition. Surgery is most often used, offering neurological deficit remission in 60 to 90% of patients. Most chemotherapeutics do not cross the blood-brain barrier, so immunotherapy with antibodies such as pembrolizumab and ipilimumab, as well as antineoplastic vaccines, are a promising therapeutic prospect
