The overall objective of the research is to summarize tactical considerations, resulting from terrain and weather analysis, to support the preparation, planning and execution of subterranean operations. The study used the Grounded Theory for collection, analysis, and systematic treatment of data. The main data sources for the study consisted of purposive sampling from operations in subterranean systems and lessons learned from them. Two new sub-variables are now proposed to be included in terrain and weather variable from mission analysis model for subterranean operations: Subterranean system’s location and accesses and subterranean system features. The key to finding subterranean systems is through terrain analysis, physical ground search, operational indicators, and intelligence products. The analysis of the features of the subterranean system and its mapping is critical for developing courses of action. Forces must be trained and equipped to manoeuvre and combat at short distances and poor visibility conditions. Surface access points and command and control bunkers usually are assessed as key terrain. Obstacles placed at intersections are excellent ambush sites. Accessing sophisticated structures requires specific techniques and equipment. Inside the subterranean systems, existing angles, barriers, walls, cavities, stairwells and other objects provide cover and concealment. Water can make it impossible to build subterranean systems, place obstacles, or even use them; droughts can “create” new avenues of approach. Clouds and fog difficult the detection of subterranean systems. The terrain and weather analysis model, the characteristics, and the tactical considerations presented, all combined, support the preparation, planning, and execution of operations in subterranean systems.

During the tenth season of excavations at el-Zuma the mission resumed the previously postponed excavation of the last two tunnels beneath tumuli T.1 and T.4. Both tumuli were classified as Type I burials, based on their large size and unique construction. The exploration of the said two tunnels was essential as each was expected to lead directly to the main burial chamber. Although the chambers were reached, yet they were found seriously rifled. Nonetheless, new modified elements of burial niche construction were discovered. The protection of the tumuli field was also completed during the course of the season

ObjectivesTo evaluate: a) the prevalence of bilateral idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in manual workers; b) a correlation between the duration of unilateral and bilateral CTS symptoms; c) a correlation between the onset of CTS symptoms in the unilateral dominant/non-dominant hand and the time of developing bilateral CTS; and d) findings of the nerve conduction study (NCS) in symptomatic and asymptomatic hands of patients with unilateral CTS.Material and MethodsClinical and neurophysiological examinations were conducted along with a detailed analysis of job exposure of 332 manual workers admitted to the Occupational Medicine Department, the Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine, with suspected occupational CTS. Eventually, 258 patients were excluded from the study: 34 with associated neuropathies and 206 with other conditions potentially associated with CTS. Cases with work-related CTS (18) were also excluded.ResultsA total of 74 patients were diagnosed as idiopathic CTS. In idiopathic CTS, the right hand was affected in 15 (20.3%) patients, the left hand in 4 (5.4%) patients, and both hands in 55 (74.3%) patients. Symptoms duration was longer in the patients with bilateral CTS (4.01 years) than in those with a unilateral right (1.7 years, p = 0.002) or left hand condition (2.8 years, p = 0.313). Median nerve impairment at the wrist was revealed by NCS in 6 left and 2 right asymptomatic hands.ConclusionsThe findings of the study indicate the need for “alerting” patients with unilateral CTS about the risk of the disease developing in the contralateral hand. Therefore, NCS should be routinely performed in the asymptomatic hands of patients with unilateral CTS, which is essential for the prevention of neuropathies, especially among manual workers performing repetitive manual tasks.

The Polish version of the article was published in “Roczniki Humanistyczne,” vol. 63 (2015), issue 4. The painting Ascent into Heaven (88.8 x 39.9 cm; dendrological dating: 1482–1490) kept in the Palazzo Ducale in Venice is one of the four eschatological panels (the other three are: Earthly Paradise, Fall of the Damned, Hell) which probably were in the collection of the Venetian Cardinal Domenico Grimani in the 1520s. The panels’ original arrangement and function are unknown. The paintings are not signed and their attribution to Jheronimus Bosch (c. 1450–1516 ) is based largely on the grounds of stylistic criteria. In the study, I put Ascent into Heaven into two fundamental contexts for the iconographic analysis of this work: eschatological literature and Netherlandish/ Flemish painting and in the context of near-death experiences (NDE) as well. The answer to the question posed in the title of the study must remain twofold. On the basis of the data gathered in the study, the content of the painting can be comprehended by references to the most frequently quoted sources of inspiration for Bosch: one painting by Dieric Bouts (left wing of the Last Judgement Altarpiece; Lille, Palais des Beaux Arts), two illuminations by Simon Marmion (Le livre des sept Ages du monde; Brussels, Bibliothèque royale de Belgique, Ms. 9047, fols. IV & 12r) and a literary work Dat rike der ghelieven by Jan van Ruusbroec. Its content can be equally understood by reference to the role of the painter’s imagination (categories of inventio and fantasia), using his theological and astronomical knowledge. The above line of interpretation that emphasizes the influence of biblical logosphere, takes into account undeniable religious experience of the painter from ‘s-Hertogenbosch resulting from being a member of the Church. The factor of an epistemological importance which influences the form of the answer to the title question is hypothetical non-verifiable Bosch’s personal transcendental experience, thus it becomes impossible to evaluate the translation of what is spiritual (experience) into visual (image). Due to the elusive, not fully scientific nature of NDE this phenomenon should be excluded from the final conclusion.

Poddano analizie kształtowanie się kosztów średnich budowy autostrad w Europie, z odcinkami tras prowadzonych w terenach górzystych i w tunelach. Korzystając z zaproponowanego sposobu przeliczeń porównano koszty budowy dróg w tunelach, w Słowenii i w Polsce. Z cenami opracowanego kosztorysu autorskiego dla odcinka drogi ekspresowej S7 Naprawa – Skomielna Biała wraz z tunelem, skonfrontowano wartości poszczególnych robót zaoferowane przez 6 zaproszonych do przetargu ograniczonego wykonawców. Wnioski ukierunkowano na ocenę poziomu kosztów realizacji dróg w Polsce w kontekście nakładów występujących w krajach Unii Europejskiej.

We analyse the variability of the costs of the construction of motorways in Europe. Attention is paid to the formation of the cost of motorway sections run in mountainous areas and in tunnels. A method for calculations is proposed and the costs of building roads with tunnels in Slovenia and in Poland are compared. The paper presents the developed authorial cost estimate for the excavation of the tunnel in the stretch of the expressway S7 Naprawa - Skomielna Biała and examines the value of individual works presented by the 6 bidders who participated in a restricted tender. Conclusions are focused on the assessment of the cost level of road construction in Poland in the context of the expenditures incurred in the European countries.

Tablica Wniebowzięcie zbawionych (88.8 x 39.9 cm; datacja dendrologiczna: 1482-1490) przechowywana w Palazzo Ducale w Wenecji, jest jedną z czterech tablic o tematyce eschatologicznej (pozostałe to: Raj ziemski, Upadek potępionych, Piekło), które prawdopodobnie w latach dwudziestych XVI wieku znajdowały się w zbiorach weneckiego kardynała Domenica Grimaniego. Tablice (oryginalny układ i funkcja pozostają nieznane) nie są sygnowane, a ich atrybucja Jheronimusowi Boschowi (ok. 1450-1516) zasadza się w głównej mierze na gruncie stylistycznym. W niniejszym studium Wniebowzięcie zbawionych jest sytuowane przede wszystkim w dwóch fundamentalnych dla badań ikonograficznych tego dzieła kontekstach: piśmiennictwa eschatologicznego i malarstwa niderlandzkiego/ flamandzkiego oraz w kontekście doświadczeń z pogranicza śmierci (near-death experiences - NDE). Odpowiedź na pytanie, czy wizja Jheronimusa Boscha jest fantazmatem, innymi słowy: imaginacją religijną, czy stoi za nią doświadczenie rzeczywistości pozahistorycznej, jest w istocie dwoista. Na podstawie danych przywołanych w studium, daje się uzasadnić treść obrazu z Palazzo Ducale poprzez odniesienie do najczęściej przytaczanych w literaturze przedmiotu źródeł inspiracji jego autora: obrazu Dierica Boutsa (lewe skrzydło Ołtarza Sądu Ostatecznego; Lille, Palais des Beaux Arts), iluminacji Simona Marmiona (Le livre des sept âges du monde; Bruksela, Bibliothèque royale de Belgique, Ms. 9047, fol. 12r) i piśmiennictwa Jana van Ruysbroeck (Dat rike der ghelieven). Jego treść daje się w równym stopniu uchwycić poprzez odwołanie się do roli wyobraźni artysty (kategorie inventio i fantasia), sięgającego do dostępnej mu wiedzy teologicznej, przyrodniczej oraz własnych doświadczeń optyczno-wizualnych. Powyższa linia interpretacyjna akcentująca oddziaływanie biblijnej logosfery (Ps 84,12; 104,2; Dn 2,22; Łk 16,22; 23,43; J 8,12; 12,36; 2 Kor 12,2; 1 Tm 6,15-16; 1 J 1,5; Ap 21,24), uwzględnia niepodważalne doświadczenia religijne malarza z ’s-Hertogenbosch wynikające z przynależności do Kościoła (liturgia, kazania, modlitwy). Czynnikiem o istotnym znaczeniu epistemologicznym rzutującym na odpowiedź na tytułowe pytanie studium jest nieweryfikowalny fakt ewentualnego osobistego doświadczenia transcendentnego Boscha, tym samym niemożliwa staje się ocena przekładu tego, co duchowe (przeżycie) na wizualne (obraz). Z kolei nie w pełni uchwytna naukowo natura NDE wyklucza włączenie tego zjawiska, pomimo odnotowanych podobieństw pomiędzy NDE a tablicą z Wenecji, w obszar wniosków końcowych.
