La fonction touristique et celle de repos de Mrągowo

W pracy podjęto próbę kompleksowego określenia funkcji turystyczno-wypoczynkowej Mrągowa. Materiały potrzebne do opracowania tego tematu zdobyto podczas badań terenowych prowadzonych w 1984 r. W niniejszej pracy funkcję turystyczno-wypoczynkową utożsamia się z działalnością gospodarczą, której istotą jest świadczenie dóbr i usług na rzecz turystów i własnych mieszkańców przy wykorzystaniu atrakcyjności turystycznej danej jednostki przestrzennej.Le travail est un essai de définir la fonction touristique et celle de repos d'une petite ville, telle, par exemple, que Mrągowo, située à l'Est de la voïevodie d'Olsztyn. L'apparition de la fonction touristique était conditionnée p ar l'existence des yaïeurs touristiques du milieu dans cette ville, ainsi dans les limites administratives que dans la région avoisinante de Mrągowo. Plus de 38% de la superficie de la ville ont de l'attrait exceptionnel pour les touristes et ceux qui veulent se reposer.The article is an attemptt at a comprehensive description of the tourist-recreational function of a small town such as Mrągowo, which is situated in the eastern part of the Olsztyn administrative province. Appearance of the tourist function in this town was due to existence of environmental tourist attractions both within administrative boundaries of the town and in its vicinity. Over 38% of the area of Mrągowo is characterized by its big attractiveness for tourism and recreation. Remov

Method of treating endothelial dysfunction comprising administration of a thrombin peptide derivative

Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is associated with a number of diseases and disorders. Agonists of the non-proteolytically activated thrombin receptor can be used in methods to treat ED or ED-related diseases and disorders.Board of Regents, University of Texas Syste

Foraminiferal assemblage in the coral-bearing limestones of the Vršatec area (Pieniny Klippen Belt, Western Carpathians, Slovakia)

The paper deals with benthic foraminifera occurring with the scleractinian corals in the Jurassic biohermal and peribiohermal coral-bearing limestones of the Vršatec area (Czorsztyn Succession, Slovak Pieniny Klippen Belt). The coral community is dominated by branching forms of the genus Thecosmilia. Co-occurring abundant benthic foraminifera belong to the species Rumanolina seiboldi, R. elevata, Paalzowella turbinella and Troglotella incrustans. The coral-bearing limestones were initially assigned to the Oxfordian on the basis of the microfacies analyses and bivalve and scleractinian faunas. In recent papers they are assigned to the Bajocian on the basis of ammonites found in the neptunic dykes and stratigraphic superimposition criteria. However, the stratigraphic distribution of the majority of the identified foraminifera indicates that like most scleractinian coral taxa they are not known earlier than in the Late Jurassic. The Late Jurassic age of these coral-bearing limestones is also suggested by an encrusting microproblematic organism Iberopora bodeuri

Cretaceous (Aptian/Albian-?Cenomanian) age of "black flysch" and adjacent deposits of the Grajcarek thrust-sheets in the Małe Pieniny Mts. (Pieniny Klippen Belt, Polish Outer Carpathians)

Several sections record the relation between the "black flysch" and Upper Cretaceous red shales in the Grajcarek thrust-sheets. In all the sections studied the "black flysch" appears in the core of imbricated folds or thrust-sheets, whereas the limbs are composed of Upper Cretaceous deposits. The transitional beds between the "black flysch" and the Upper Cretaceous red shales are composed of green and black bituminous shales, green and red radiolarites and cherty limestones. Biostratigraphical investigations have revealed a similar type and sequence of microfauna assemblages in all the sections studied and significant redeposition of Jurassic calcareous benthic foraminifera, calcareous nannoplankton, molluscs, sponge spicules and crinoid elements. The Cretaceous age (Aptian/Albian-Cenomanian) of the "black flysch" is shown by the presence of agglutinated foraminifera and microfacies data. These deposits are underlain by a Kimmeridgian-Aptian radiolarite/limestone condensed succession and overlain by Turonian-Campanian hemipelagic red shales and Maastrichtian/Lower Paleocene conglomerates and thick-bedded silicilastic turbidites of the Jarmuta Formation. Such a sequence of deposits is typical of the Outer Carpathian basins and records the global Mid/Late Cretaceous phenomena in the world ocean, followed by the Cretaceous Oceanic Red Beds

Self-regulation in the process of recovery from alcohol addiction according to Julius Kuhl's theory

Aims: The main aim of this study is to analyse the dynamics in self-regulation functions in connection with the treatment of people with alcohol addiction. Another goal is to compare two groups of people after a period of 1 year: those who maintained abstinence and those who relapsed. Method: The studies were designed as longitudinal studies (three assessments) with quasi-experimental procedure (without a control group). The first assessment was performed during a 2-week period of treatment, the second one was performed at the end of the basic stage of treatment and the third one after 1 year. The data were collected in 12 centres treating addictions with similar treatment programmes on a group of 977 patients with a diagnosis of alcohol addiction (males 76%, females 24%). Self-regulation functions were assessed with Inventory SSI-K, where they are defined based on Kuhl’s Personality Systems Interactions theory. A semistructured interview was performed twice: at the beginning of treatment, in order to diagnose alcohol addiction disorders, and after 1 year of treatment, to analyse the indicator of recovery, which was defined as maintaining abstinence. In the evaluation of the dynamics of self-regulation functions, a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used. Conclusions: Treatment and abstinence influence changes in self-regulation functions. The effects of these changes are mainly observed in people who maintained abstinence 1 year from starting their treatment, which indicates a stronger ability to act according to their own needs, facilitating the development of the ‘Self’

Preliminary remarks on enigmatic "white casing limestone" from Saqqara archaelogical site in Egipt

Saqqara is one of the famous archaeological sites in the world. There is the oldest stone pyramid built by pharaoh Djoser from the Third Dynasty (around 4600 yrs BP). The components of his funerary complex were constructed of a characteristic creamish-white limestone of relatively great solidity, connected in archaeological literature with the white casing limestone from Saqqara. A source of this stone has remained so far a mystery. An extensive geological survey and other research has failed to identify any outcrops of such limestone in the vicinity of Saqqara. Preliminary results of examination of fossils from relevant rock samples of the white Saqqara limestone are presented, supplemented with discussion of current opinions concerning its origin and probable stratigraphic setting

Geological setting and lithological inventory of the Czarna Woda conglomerates (Magura Nappe, Polish Outer Carpathians)

During the late Oligocene to early Miocene the residual Magura Basin was located along the front of the Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB). This basin was supplied with clastic material derived from a south-eastern direction. In the Małe (Little) Pieniny Mts. in Poland, the late Oligocene/ early Miocene Kremna Fm. of the Magura Nappe (Krynica subunit) occurs both in front of the PKB as well as in the tectonic windows within the PKB. Lenses of exotic conglomerates in the Kremna Fm. contain frequent clasts of Mesozoic limestones (e.g. limestones with "filaments" microfacies and Urgonian limestones) and Eocene shallow-water limestones. Fragments of crystalline and volcanic rocks occur subordinately. The provenance of these exotic rocks could be probably connected with Eocene exhumation and erosion of the SE part of the Dacia and Tisza Mega-Units
