  • The Standpoint of Polish Scholars Affiliated with the Polish League Against Defamation on the Activities of Jan Grabowski
    POLISH LEAGUE AGAINST DEFAMATION 11/8 Chmielna Street, 00-021 Warsaw, Poland www.rdi-plad.org Warsaw, 7.06.2017 r. The standpoint of Polish scholars affiliated with the Polish League Against Defamation on the activities of Jan Grabowski We, the undersigned Polish scholars, working in Poland and abroad, strongly oppose Jan Grabowski’s dissemination of a false and wrongful image of Poland and Polish people during World War II in placing the blame for the Holocaust upon the Polish Nation. It is worth pointing out differences in the situations within other occupied countries, such as France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway and Hungary, and that of Poland. Here, the scale of terror spread by the Nazi-German occupiers was incomparably greater. Despite this, there were no institutions representing Polish society and the Polish Nation which supported the occupier’s policy. This was unlike the case in many other occupied European countries, many of which had their collaborating governments and formations, including military forces (e.g. the SS "Wiking", "Nordland", "Galizien", "Nederland", "Wallonien", "Charlemagne", “La División Azul” divisions). Furthermore, the Polish nation actively opposed Nazi-German-orchestrated genocide by taking measures in institutional, legal and organisational forms established in the underground with the sole purpose of saving Jews (The Żegota Council to Aid Jews). We are aware that in time of war not everyone acts like a hero, and many deem it expedient to save their own lives and the lives of their nearest and dearest, or to make a profit, and in so doing, some will commit vile actions for their own benefit.

Weight loss (WL) after bariatric surgery (BS) may influence LV morphology and function. Using echocardiography, this study assessed the effect of WL on LV diastolic function (LVDF) and LV and left atrium (LA) morphology 6 months after BS in young women with morbid obesity. Methods: Echocardiography was performed in 60 women with body mass index ≥ 40 kg/m², aged 37.1 ± ± 9.6 years prior to and 6 months after BS. In 38 patients, well-controlled arterial hypertension was present. Heart failure, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation and mitral stenosis were exclusion criteria. Parameters of LV and LA morphology were obtained. To evaluate LVDF, mitral peak early (E) and atrial (A) velocities, E-deceleration time (DcT), pulmonary vein S, D and A reversal velocities were measured. Peak early diastolic mitral annular velocities (E’) and E/E’ were assessed. Results: Mean WL post BS was 35.7 kg (27%).

    Wroclaw Review of Law, Administration & Economics Vol 9:1, 2019 DOI: 10.2478/wrlae-2019-0002 An Analysis of Field Preferences of an Educational System Anna Ćwiąkała-Małys* Monika Mościbrodzka** Keywords higher education, synthetic measure of development, methods of multidimensional analysis Abstract It is the labour market that decides about the popularity of a field of studies. The area where the highest number of job offers appears is reflected in the offers of universities. However, it is very often mentioned in many media that future students decide to choose social and humane studies whose market chances are evaluated on a relatively low level. In the past 10 years, because of the decrease in the birth rate, the number of Polish students at various universities declined to about 700,000 people. In these years, it was observed that the number of studying men and women declined (to almost 30%). The lowest decrease in the number of students was observed at technical universities because of the fact that, at that time, the number of female students increased there. The group of female students constitutes the one that has increased in numbers in the past 10 years. * Professor, Department of Financial Management, Institute of Economic Sciences, Faculty of Law, Administration and Economics, University of Wrocław, anna.cwiakala-malys@uwr. edu.pl.
