Objectives The aim of this study has been to assess the characteristics of acute poisoning deaths in Poland over a period of time 2009–2013. Material and Methods The analysis was based on the data obtained from the patient records stored in toxicology departments in 6 cities – Łódź, Kraków, Sosnowiec, Gdańsk, Wrocław and Poznań. Toxicological analyses were routinely performed in blood and/or urine. Major toxic substances were classified to one of the following categories: pharmaceuticals, alcohol group poisonings (ethanol and other alcohols), gases, solvents, drugs of abuse, pesticides, metals, mushrooms, others. Cases were analyzed according to the following criteria: year, age and gender of analyzed patients, toxic substance category and type of poisoning. The recorded fatal poisonings were classified according to the International Classification of Diseases. Results The record of 261 deaths were retrospectively reviewed. There were 187 males (71.64%) and 74 females (28.36%) and the male to female ratio was 2.52. Alcohol group poisonings were more frequently responsible for deaths in men compared to all poisonings, 91.1% vs. 71.6%, respectively (p < 0.05), and pharmaceutical agents were more frequently responsible for deaths in women, 47.4% vs. 28.4%, (p < 0.05). Methanol was the most common agent in the alcohol group poisonings, accounting for 43.75% (N = 49), followed by ethylene glycol, 39.29% (N = 44), and ethanol, 16.96% (N = 19). Conclusions Epidemiological profile data from investigation of poisoning deaths in Poland may be very useful for the development of preventive programs.

ObjectivesThe aim of the research was to analyze the nature of changes and tendencies observed in the frequency, circumstances and causes of acute intentional poisonings within the agglomeration of Łódź, Poland. The study related to adults.Material and MethodsAs the research material, medical records of patients hospitalized due to an acute poisoning in the Department of Toxicology in Łódź were used. Information on the hospitalized patients was gathered in the database created in accordance with the assumed criteria and an approved system of the collection of variables describing the issues of intentional acute poisonings.ResultsIn the analyzed period, within the group of 18 918 adult patients hospitalized due to an acute poisoning, male patients prevailed, accounting for 57.17% of the whole group. Intentional poisonings constituted 40.19% of all poisonings, with women dominating within that group of patients – accounting for approximately 58.63%. The largest group was formed by young people, 18–35 years old, accounting for 43.22%. The average age of the intentionally poisoned patients showed an upward tendency; this tendency concerned women to a larger extent. Medications played the most powerful role in acute intentional poisonings. Within the whole population, they were responsible for 97.27% of intoxications. The analysis of the dynamics of changes in the percentage of patients referred for further mental treatment revealed that the number of patients continuing hospital treatment in psychiatric wards tended to grow.ConclusionsObservations indicating that women are more likely to attempt intentional poisoning, and that the number of patients with psychiatric disturbances tended to grow in the analyzed period, demonstrate an urgent need for preventive measures to be taken in the local communities.

The presented study explored the memories of 332 pedagogy students about the bullying experiences and their former schools. Findings indicate that: (1) young adults have very different experiences with bullying, (2) time spent at middle school was assessed as the worst, (3) general judgment of school was correlated with bullying experiences, especially students who were involved in bullying problems as a victim or bystander were less positive in their appraisals of school. The study provides a unique account of how young adults view their school experiences. Data is discussed in terms of its psycho-educational implications.

The article presents the motives and the development process of the co-operative enterprise Mondragon. The historical overview accompanied by brief description of the co-operative movement and its business activities has been mainly focused on cooperative response to societal and market challenges affecting the enterprise resilience in turbulent environments. The applied methodology is based on retrospective analysis of theoretical resources and annual reports of Mondragon. The research centre MIK [Mondragon Innovation & Knowledge] specializing, inter alia, in cooperativism and entrepreneurship analysis has coordinated the data collection, selection and final interpretation, additionally providing valuable historical facts and updated information. The case study has unveiled the key cooperative actions throughout the Mondragon’s development stages, which can be inspirational in the cross-country mutual learning process with reference to the policy objective no 2 of the Social Business Initiative launched by European Commission to increase the visibility of social economy entities and to identify good practices to be potentially reproduced, aligning social economy development process across countries.

W artykule przedstawiono uwarunkowania i proces powstania spółdzielni Mondragon. Omówiono tło historyczne oraz czynniki wpływające na powstanie tej największej na świecie spółdzielni. Ponadto dokonano syntezy opisu działalności wspomnianego podmiotu. Do realizacji celu wykorzystano metodę analizy literatury przedmiotu. Cennym źródłem informacji były raporty diagnostyczne spółdzielni Mondragon oraz dane uzyskane z centrum badawczego MIK (Mondragon Innovation & Knowledge), specjalizującego się między innymi w monitorowaniu i diagnozowaniu przedsiębiorczości społecznej. Dostarczyło ono danych na temat historycznych aspektów działalności podmiotu oraz współcześnie osiąganych rezultatów. Przeprowadzona analiza case study pozwoliła zidentyfikować specyficzne czynniki wpływające na sukces rozwoju niniejszej spółdzielni. Czynniki te mogą stanowić inspirację w obszarze wymiany wiedzy i praktyk w sektorze ekonomii społecznej, co nawiązuje wprost do założenia nr 2 inicjatywy Komisji Europejskiej o przedsiębiorczości społecznej. Tym samym przyczynia się do promocji dobrych praktyk w obszarze przedsiębiorczości społecznej z możliwością ich potencjalnego odtworzenia celem wyrównania poziomu rozwoju ekonomii społecznej w wymiarze międzynarodowym.
