The aim of the present paper is to discuss the English lexical borrowing oldschool used in Polish. The first part of the article is devoted to definitions of the word in various lexicographic sources; then, information on the frequency of its use is presented. The main part of the paper focuses on the discussion of the new contexts of the use of the lexeme in question, illustrated with numerous examples, taken from NKJP and MoncoPL corpora. The article shows that the word has significantly expanded its scope and should be perceived not only as a lexical borrowing from English, but as a semantic loan and a native semantic innovation as well.

Research on binding wastepaper has a long tradition in Poland, dating back to the 1820s, and the result is the discovery of fragments of many valuable manuscripts and prints. This article is devoted to the discoveries made, among others, by Władysław Nehring, Kazimierz Piekarski and Anna Lewicka-Kamińska, the fruit of which were previously unknown editions of the popular prayer book Hortulus animae, found and preserved only in the fragments they discovered. The most groundbreaking was Nehring's find, thanks to which eight pages of the first Polish edition of Hortulus were published, but the importance of the remaining ones cannot be overestimated. It is noteworthy that out of eleven (certain and highly probable) editions, dating back to the first half of the 16th c., as many as six are known only thanks to single sheets extracted from their bindings.

This scientific paper focuses on the treatment of breast cancer, one of the most common cancers among women. Despite increased awareness and the popularity of screening tests, statistics indicate a significant rise in incidence. The paper presents breast-conserving treatment methods, including brachytherapy, as a modern technique with promising outcomes. It describes the physical properties of ionizing radiation used in brachytherapy, discussing the photoelectric effect, Compton effect, and the phenomenon of pair production. The paper then delves into the biological effects of ionizing radiation, emphasizing the dependence on the cell cycle phase. It highlights lethal, sublethal, and potentially lethal cellular damage, categorizing the effects of radiation interaction into early and late responses. The discussion transitions to the application of brachytherapy in breast cancer treatment, focusing on various techniques such as LDR, PDR, and HDR. The paper provides a detailed description of brachytherapy's use in breast-conserving treatment, considering contraindications, treatment planning, and Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) techniques. The radioisotopes used in brachytherapy are also presented, with special attention to Iridium-192. The physical and practical aspects related to this isotope are discussed, along with other commonly used radioisotopes such as Cesium-137, Cobalt-60, and Strontium-90. The paper concludes with a summary, emphasizing the significance of brachytherapy in breast cancer treatment and outlining its prospects for development. The authors highlight precision and shortened therapy duration. Aim of the study The following paper aims to present a review of current knowledge regarding brachytherapy in the treatment of breast cancer and the treatment outcomes associated with this method. The main goal is to raise awareness among healthcare professionals about current issues with improvement of breast cancer treatment procedures based on brachytherapy. Materials and methods This article presents the current state of knowledge about brachytherapy for breast cancer, as found in various scientific articles. The following English keywords and their Polish equivalents were used to search Google Scholar's medical databases: brachytherapy, conservative treatment, breast cancer, BT, MammoSite. The most relevant articles on the subject were selected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We stand at the threshold of a revolution in science. It is possible that soon scientific writing as we know it will undergo a rapid change, all thanks to the ChatGPT 3.5 language model. The appearance of this tool on the technology market in November 2022 caused a massive stir among Internet users and the academic world. It turned out that chat has the potential to generate completely new and unique scientific texts. In the wake of ChatGPT, similar tools by technology giants came and are coming. Given the above, the scientific community has only a brief moment to try to answer the following questions: whether the texts generated in this way have real scientific value, whether it is ethical for researchers to use them, how to regulate copyright on the use of AI, what are the potential capabilities of artificial intelligence for writing scientific papers. The indicated themes are reflected in the presented text. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper presents the course of the discussion of Edmund Krzymuski's essay on crimes against life and health, which took place as part of the Section of Substantive Criminal Law of the Codification Commission of the Republic of Poland in June 24-27, 1920. The article focuses on the main threads of the referent's questionnaire and is devoted i.a., to the crimes of murder, bodily harm, incitement to suicide, or the killing of a fetus. The work highlights both Krzymuski's proposals, as well as different concepts supported by other members of the Section, which were included in the draft criminal code of 1932. That discussion was significant because most of these solutions are still in force today in the Polish legal system. The article also attempts to answer whether the circumstances related to the referent's proposals could have influenced his decision to resign from further work within the Substantive Criminal Law Section of the Codification Commission of the Republic of Poland.

This essay is devoted to Letter on Drained Paper [Listy na wyczerpanym papierze] by Agnieszka Osiecka and Jeremi Przybora covering the years 1964-1966. Its aim is to show the epistolographic strategies adopted by the correspondents. First, by analysing the structure of the letters, I characterise the authors' writing style, juxtaposing its similarities and differences. This makes it possible to show the features characteristic of a love letter, to which Osiecka and Przybora's collection belongs. I also look at what influences the uniqueness of the love story and the development of their feelings in the epistolographic space. This allows one to see how the authors' writing workshops differ and how the correspondents express their emotions. I also highlight the performative role of correspondence and how writers can create each other. An analysis of the unspoken words in the letters is also important. I show what effect such a procedure had on the reader's perception of the correspondence. Then I focus on the structure of the correspondence of Agnieszka Osiecka and Jeremi Przybora, showing the style of the artists, the differences in their writing and the common features of their letters. I characterise Osiecka's and Przybora's writing separately. I outline the evolution of the writers' feelings in love throughout their correspondence. I also draw attention to the role of the space the artists were in at any given time and how the songs of the lovers complemented their correspondence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The family Equidae (the equines) includes a single extant genus – Equus. The family includes horses, zebras, donkeys, and the extinct tarpan and quagga. All of these animals are large herbivorous mammals that can interbreed with one another, usually producing sterile offspring. The aim of this study was to collect information and systematize knowledge about hybrid equines. The paper contains information about genetic differences, inheritance of parental traits depending on the type of hybrid, fertility of hybrids, and assessment of character in comparison to traits specific to the parents. The practical use of hybrids in various parts of the world, often in highly inaccessible areas where technologically advanced means of transport have proven ineffective, is discussed as well.
