This article is a voice in a streamlined discussion on methods for diagnosing adult patients with aphasia. The variety of aphasic symptoms and the complexity of the clinical picture of patients after neurological incidents often make it impossible to conduct an examination with standardised, well-known methods [see Siudak 2017]. The signals of reluctance towards the methods of examination sent by patients are uttered expressis verbis by people who have overcome aphasia: we need a conversation, not an examination. How then, do we turn diagnosis into a meeting? How can we determine the level of linguistic functioning without having to make the patient aware of what they can no longer do? The Gradual Test Method developed by the author is a research proposal, in which the determination of a patient’s level of language difficulty is based on a gradual transition from easier to more complex structures, without repeating the same procedures many times.

Cochlear implants (CI) are surgically implanted electronic devices that enable individuals who are profoundly deaf to hear. It should be pointed out that a surgically implanted device does not provide a sense of sound totally . It does allow the deaf to recognize sounds and help to understand speech. However, after placing a cochlear implant the quality of sound is different from natural hearing and takes time to learn and recognize the memory signs. The article consists of preliminary diagnosis and stages of patient rehabilitation before and after placing CI.

The article has presented a general idea for an algorithm that would allow for determining the optimal parameters of vehicle movement. The sources of energy dissipation have been assumed as follows: damage to the engine and the drive. In addition, the mathematical basis have been presented for assessing the impact of damage resulting from problems such as axial misalignment on the dissipated energy. In the second part of the paper, the concept of the algorithm has been detailed, paying special attention to certain problems that have arisen, and an algorithm has been proposed that determines the optimal movement parameters for a simplified case, when the vehicle is moving along a path determined in advance. In addition, the results of applying the algorithm for a simple case have been presented, as well as the impact of the particular energy dissipation parameters of the model on the optimal velocity profile of the vehicle. The plans for further research include estimating the impact of other damages, such as damaged bearings or demagnetising, on the energy dissipation. Further work on an algorithm is also planned that would allow for simultaneous determining of an optimal path as well as an optimal velocity profile.

Introduction. Our understanding of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is crucial for the applications of this treatment. In this physical phenomenon occurs light absorption by the applied photosensitizer, which results in its excitation to higher electron levels. After activation, a series of complex physicochemical processes take place in the tissues. Aim. The aim of this study was to describe the basic naturally occurring photosensitizers used in PDT techniques. This study clarified applications of photosensitizers. Material and methods. This study was used basic information about PDT reaction and the selective destruction of the tumor by photooxidation: a photosensitizer, a light source and oxygen. The papers reviewed here are based on Medline/Pub. Analysis of the literature. Photodynamic therapy is an innovative form of treatment. This method is not a commonly used therapeutic and therapeutic tool, but a supplement to many already tested and analyzed techniques. Thanks to continuous research, this method has a wider and wider range of applications in medicine. Conclusion. The data indicates increased number of papers regarding applications of PDT in medicine.

Objectives: estimation of psychometric properties of the Polish version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) to recognize the symptoms of postpartum depression. Material and methods: The study was conducted from 2007 to 2011. One hundred twenty six women after childbirth were examined. The mean age was 28,34 years (SD = 3,96). The Scale was administered between the 4th and 12th weeks after delivery (M = 6,56 weeks; SD = 2,14) to mothers, recruit ed previously at the gynecological clinics and prenatal classes. All participants were submitted to a structured interview for postpartum depression diagnosis. Participants completed Polish version of EPDS and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) to verify the reliability and validity of the Polish version of EPDS. To assess psychometric properties of the scale, descriptives statistics, independent and dependent t-test, Cronbach’s alpha, Pearson’s correlation, exploratory factor analysis (with KMO-test) were conducted. The scale sensitivity and specificity were calculated, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to find the best cut-off point. Results: Using the factor analysis two factor were extracted, which accounted for 68,5% of the variance. Cronbachʼs alpha coefficient for the entire scale is high and amounts to 0,91. Stability factor estimated by test-retest was 0,761 (p < 0,05). Total scores of EPDS correlated significantly with the results of the BDI (r = 0,836, p < 0,01). Using 13/14 as the cut-off point, the scale’s sensitivity was 96%, the specificity was 93%. Conclusions: The good psychometric properties of the Polish version of the EPDS were confirmed in the present study. The results of the reliability of the Polish version of EPDS, do not differ from results obtained in other validation studies in the world. Polish version of the scale meets the basic psychometric criteria and can be successfully used to identify symptoms of postnatal depression.

The relevance of the crisis situation diagnosis is confirmed by the diagnosis decisions designed and applied in the business practice, audit reports, bank assessment methods and company‘s own concernment. The aim of the research is to define crisis development stages and possible preventive means and to design the crisis diagnosis system in the anti-crisis management process in a company. The paper deals with four stages of crisis development: prodromal crisis (CP), acute crisis (CA), and chronic crisis (CC). Crisis resolution (CR) is the final goal of any crisis management. When a crisis is overcome, its performance stabilizes and a company starts to grow. Therefore, the main point in company’s management process is to notice the barrier when company’s performance starts going down, in order to foresee the result which can cause crisis situation in a company.

Introduction. Head and neck haemangiomas occur quite rarely. These are benign lesions, often involving the pharynx and larynx. They almost always pose a diagnostic and therapeutic problem. Case description. This paper describes the case of an asymptomatic internal carotid artery aneurysm manifested by a throat tumour. A 78-year old woman with sudden deafness and vertigo was additionally diagnosed with a throat tumour. After radiological diagnosis of a haemangioma, the patient refused surgery. This article presents diagnostic methods and various types of treatments for head and neck haemangiomas. Attention was paid to the possibility of serious complications when deciding on surgical intervention of haemangiomas without a confirmed diagnosis. Conclusion. Suspicion of head and neck haemangiomas necessitates using all available diagnostic methods. The treatment plan should take into account the pace of progression, the patient’s age and co-morbid conditions. .

The article deals with the problem of symptomatology of graphomotor disorders, focusing on the situational determinants of the observed symptoms of pathologies and on the related difficulties with the assessment of handwriting/writing activity. It is based on the example of my own patients under care of the UMCS Department of Logopedics and Applied Linguistics Logopedic Lab. Students with disordered graphomotor skills and without being properly diagnosed experience failures at school: when trying to prevent them, they follow the remarks made by teachers and parents which largely refer to the results of their students’work rather than the manner of performing the writing activities. Students with graphomotor disorders may sometimes achieve a comparatively high graphic level of handwriting, and the legibility of the text, at the same time, however, they are unable to function properly under school conditions and at home as writing is too time-consuming and exhausting, it engages the student’s attention too much at the expense of other kinds of activities. The illustration of the phenomena in question is the patients’ handwriting samples.

This article discusses the problems of interaction (defined as a basic unit of social communication – Domagała 2015b) in the conditions of a moderate stage of dementia. The attention has been focused on problems with keeping interpersonal relations adequate in the examination situation in respect of social skills. The study was conducted on the empirical material gathered under the research project “Narrative and Its Disorders in Alzheimer’s Dementia. The Scale of Narrative Skills in Alzheimer’s Dementia” (project manager: Dr Aneta Domagała; 39th Ministry of Science and Higher Education competition of research projects). A total of 60 patients with a moderate stage of Alzheimer’s dementia were studied. In the studied population, about 58% of subjects were able to function correctly in contact with the interlocutor. It should be noted that there were persons (ca. 17%) who were able to form a (strongly) positively marked relationship, and were characterized by high skills of cooperation with another person in a diagnostic situation. About 42% of the subjects showed difficulties in the relationship with the interlocutor. The evaluation of basic dimensions of interaction occurring in the examination condition is fundamental to determining the linguistic abilities of a patient with dementia; the subject’s utterances, analyzed and interpreted by a speech therapist, are situationally conditioned (here: according to how the patient perceives a given communication situation).

This study has been devoted to creative attitudes represented by 6-7-year old children, evaluated by the creative and re-constructive attitudes rating scale (SPTO)1. The central focus was to relate differences in attitudes among children commencing their education at the age of 6 to those who had started their school attendance before the reform (at the age of 7). An attempt was made to answer the question whether pupils differing in the year of birth, joined within one school form, would generate any disruption of their potential creativity. A complementary issue was to evaluate the level of creative attitudes along the dimorphic pattern.

The article tries to show the relationship between the stages of the speech therapy procedure (Grabias, 2012) and the stages of the total quality management. To illustrate such a correlation, the article contains an original research which describes the ortophonic competence of Polish students in primary education (7–13 year-olds) and lower secondary education (13–16 year-olds). The research made use of the Pareto analysis with the Lorenz curve, which is considered the basic instrument in the quality management process. It included 277 students and three main study categories: speech disorders, articulatory errors, and speech emission and accent errors. The results of the research indicated that the use of the quality management methods within the standard speech therapy procedure is indeed helpful for its proper planning, execution, and evaluation.

Spatial component of number representation has been broadly investigated during the past 20 years. Numerous studies in cognitive psychology and neuroscience indicate that number representations are automatically mapped in space. The aim of this paper is to discuss potential applications of spatial numerical associations in the domain of education. Theoretically, investigating spatial numerical associations may be useful for: (a) diagnostics of Math deficits, (b) assessment in Math education and (c) developing trainings and tools aimed at improving Math performance. Keeping recent results in mind, it seems that diagnostic power of spatial numerical associations is limited; nevertheless, possibilities of developing trainings of spatial mapping of numbers may be a fruitful area of application.
