Continuous scientific research and the increasing saturation of the medical market in Poland implements the possibilities of using advanced MR techniques including MRS in everyday practice. This method, which has so far been used primarily for research purposes, can bring measurable benefits to patients not only in terms of clarifying diagnosis and narrowing differential diagnosis, but also monitoring the course of various diseases and their treatment. Here we present the basic principles of performing and interpreting spectroscopic spectra and possible clinical applications and development prospects of MRS. The literature reviewed both Polish and foreign articles both historically and in the past 10 years. The paper presents methodological issues related to the proper performance of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and spectral composition and the role of major metabolites, as well as current clinical applications and directions of MRS development.

The aim of this study is the validation of the Russian version of the Schwartz Value Survey (SVS) using qualitative (cognitive interviewing) and quantitative (multidimensional scaling, confirmatory factor analysis) methods. Specifically, this paper explores the issue of whether respondents interpret the values measured in the survey in the way intended by Shalom Schwartz. The analysis revealed problems with participants’ understanding of the wording, which are due both to subtle differences in translation and to the cultural context. In addition, multidimensional scaling and confirmatory factor analysis were used to investigate whether the problems found in the qualitative analysis could also be detected by these quantitative methods. The findings of the qualitative analysis allowed a better understanding of the findings of the quantitative analysis and vice versa. However, the results differed considerably. In conclusion, several recommendations are given for use of such a mixed method approach.
