Świadkowie Zmartwychwstałego. Duch święty i świadectwo w Dziejach Apostolskich

The article studies the narrative schemes in Acts in order to show how the apostles and other Christians became witnesses of the Resurrection. After his Resurrection in Lukes Gospel, Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would enable the apostles to be witnesses to the events of Salvation. In Acts, Peter and the apostles choose Matthias to be a witness, since he was present from the beginning of Jesus' ministry through the Resurrection. Peters Pentecost discourse to the Jews gathered is similar to Pauls defence of Jesus Resurrection in Acts 13, in that both the apostles and Paul become missionary witnesses to all the things Jesus did, particularly proclaiming his Resurrection. Paul, therefore, becomes a creditable witness to Jesus on account of Gods calling and the Holy Spirit. His speeches in Acts are proof that he knows the Resurrected Christ and has received the Holy Spirit. Just as the Holy Spirit makes Cornelius a witness though Peter, Paul receives the Holy Spirit through Ananias, enabling him to prophesy and witness to Jesus to the ends of the earth. Narrative techniques in Acts aim at showing the reader the way to becoming a witness

Equivalent uniform dose concept evaluated by theoretical dose volume histograms for thoracic irradiation.

International audienceBACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The goal of our study was to quantify the limits of the EUD models for use in score functions in inverse planning software, and for clinical application. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We focused on oesophagus cancer irradiation. Our evaluation was based on theoretical dose volume histograms (DVH), and we analyzed them using volumetric and linear quadratic EUD models, average and maximum dose concepts, the linear quadratic model and the differential area between each DVH. RESULTS: We evaluated our models using theoretical and more complex DVHs for the above regions of interest. We studied three types of DVH for the target volume: the first followed the ICRU dose homogeneity recommendations; the second was built out of the first requirements and the same average dose was built in for all cases; the third was truncated by a small dose hole. We also built theoretical DVHs for the organs at risk, in order to evaluate the limits of, and the ways to use both EUD(1) and EUD/LQ models, comparing them to the traditional ways of scoring a treatment plan. For each volume of interest we built theoretical treatment plans with differences in the fractionation. CONCLUSION: We concluded that both volumetric and linear quadratic EUDs should be used. Volumetric EUD(1) takes into account neither hot-cold spot compensation nor the differences in fractionation, but it is more sensitive to the increase of the irradiated volume. With linear quadratic EUD/LQ, a volumetric analysis of fractionation variation effort can be performed
