Anti-liberal, anti-establishment or constituency-driven? Spatial econometric analysis of polish parliamentary election results in 2015
We investigated the spatial variation patterns of voting results in Polish parliamentary election in 2015 across 380 regions. That election was a milestone event in Polish politics that substantially affected Poland’s internal and foreign policy directions and promoted two emerging political parties as runners-up against the well-established ones. While socio-economic, cultural and geographical factors such as economic activity, historical legacies (post-Russian East vs post-German West) and economic dichotomies (cities vs the countryside) explain most variations for most parties, they do not appeared to fit as determinants of the new parties’ support, especially of right-wing populists. Demographic target groups of individual parties appear to be relatively unresponsive to their pre-election offerings. The spatial specification of econometric models considerably improves their statistical properties. We also examined mixed-W models to account for the unobservable spatial effects stemming from the construction of constituencies. Their distinctive sets of candidates added significantly to the explanation of the spatial variation in voting
Efficacy of single and repeated administration of ketamine in unipolar and bipolar depression : a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
Background Due to unmet clinical needs for efficient drugs with a rapid onset of antidepressant effects, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of single-dose ketamine in different subgroups of patients with major depression and establish whether repeated
ketamine administration could be a viable strategy to maintain treatment gains. Methods Electronic databases (Medline via PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Trip Database) were systematically searched until February 22, 2019, for published peer-reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) concerning a single and repeated administration of ketamine in patients with major depression. All relevant RCTs were selected and critically
appraised, and a meta-analysis of eligible studies was performed. Results A total of 20 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The largest effect of ketamine vs. controls in reducing depressive symptoms was observed at 24 h (SMD = - 0.89; 95% CI - 1.24; - 0.53; p < 0.00001); however, a significant difference was shown for up to 7 days after a single dose. Significant differences compared with controls were observed for up to 7 days in treatment-resistant patients and when ketamine was added to ongoing antidepressant treatment, while there were no significant differences at 7 days when ketamine was used as monotherapy. In patients with major depression, initial
antidepressant effects of ketamine were maintained during repeated dosing. At 2-3 weeks of repeated ketamine treatment, significant reduction of depression severity scores was observed: SMD = - 0.70; 95% CI - 1.15; - 0.25 or SMD = - 0.81; 95% CI - 1.41; - 0.20 (depending on the dosing regimen used); p ≤ 0.009 vs placebo. Conclusions Our meta-analysis revealed rapid and robust antidepressant effects of single-dose ketamine in patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). By pooling data from RCTs, we showed for the first time that repeated ketamine administration is effective in sustaining initial antidepressant effects observed after single dosing
Contemporary determinants of international relatioos
Z wprowadzenia: "Nauka o stosunkach międzynarodowych nie może się obejść bez systematyzowania
i porządkowania omawianej przez siebie niezwykle szerokiej materii.
Poszukując odpowiedzi na pytania związane z relacjami pomiędzy
uczestnikami interakcji międzynarodowych, nie sposób nie dostrzegać czynników,
jakie na nie wpływają, czy to w sposób pośredni czy też bezpośredni,
zależny lub niezależny od nich. Wielość tych czynników i zmienność wagi
przykładanej do poszczególnych, zależnie od epoki, stwarza konieczność
gruntownego badania i wskazywania na najważniejsze z nich, decydujące
w danym okresie."(...
Security theory and practice: Special missions unit GROM: an instrument of the security policy of The Republic of Poland. Thirtieth anniversary of the formation
Z przedmowy: "W tym roku przypada 30. rocznica powołania do życia Jednostki Wojskowej GROM.
Decyzja o utworzeniu Jednostki została podjęta przez rząd premiera Tadeusza
Mazowieckiego 13 lipca 1990 roku.
Generał Petelicki dołożył wszelkich starań, by nowo powstała Jednostka dorównywała
umiejętnościami i wyszkoleniem najlepszym jednostkom specjalnym na
świecie oraz by jako równorzędny partner mogła z nimi prowadzić zadania na teatrze
działań wojennych. Kolejni Dowódcy kontynuowali zamysł Generała, utrzymując
najwyższy poziom wyszkolenia oraz ciągle zwiększając możliwości i zdolności
bojowe Jednostki dzięki doświadczeniom nabytym podczas misji oraz licznych
szkoleń w kraju i za granicą. Budowanie jednostki od początku oparte było na najlepszych
praktykach i doświadczeniach zagranicznych oddziałów sił specjalnych,
w szczególności tych ze Stanów Zjednoczonych i Wielkiej Brytanii."(...
