Kazimierz Pułaski University of Technology and Humanities in Radom is a public university in Radom. It was the biggest university of the former Radom Voivodeship. The university was established in 1950 as a School of Engineering of General Technical Organization. For more than 50 years its name was often changed. The University of Technology and Humanities in Radom comprises 8 faculties, 4 of which are of technical profile: Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Transport and Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Materials Science, Technology and Design, and Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics, whereas Faculty of Art, Faculty of Economics, Faculty of Philology and Pedagogics, and Faculty of Health Sciences and Physical Culture represent the Humanities. Students may choose from 27 degree courses (27 undergraduate and 12 graduate) and more than 100 specializations (majors). Many of them are unique in Poland. The university also provides 6 doctoral programmes (economics, fine arts, transport, electrical engineering, mechanics and mechanical engineering and machine building ). The ECTS system is fully implemented and used in each Faculty. Thus, students of the university have the possibility to study abroad at different European universities within the 3 Erasmus Programme. The study period at a foreign university is fully recognized at the Technical University of Radom. The university also accept foreign students within the Erasmus Programme, too. Students can join students organizations, self-government, any of 36 student scientific associations, sports clubs and the horse-riding club..
This paper examines the role of food and cooking in expressing emotions in Laura Esquivel's "Like water for chocolate". Drawing on the theory of conceptual metaphor and metonymy, it argues that culinary discourse may be viewed as construing emotional meaning through recurring patterns rooted in bodily experience. Magical realism reinforces these patterns by depicting emotions as physically transmitted through food. Cooking thus becomes an alternative means of communication, which enables characters to express feelings and face social restrictions.
Hyaluronic acid, a fundamental component of the extracellular matrix, plays an essential role in preserving skin elasticity, hydration, and structural cohesion. The clinical component of the analysis reviews the effectiveness of HA-based injectable formulations commonly used in aesthetic dermatology. The histological discussion focuses on tissue-level changes following HA administration, including stimulated collagen production, fibroblast activation, and remodelling of the extracellular environment. On the psychosocial level, the study evaluates how such procedures affect patients’ quality of life, self-image, emotional well-being, and overall self-worth. This study aims to comprehensively explore the influence of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers on the multifaceted process of skin ageing, incorporating clinical, histological, and psychosocial perspectives.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a promising, though still experimental, treatment for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) in patients who have failed standard forms of pharmacotherapy. The main objective of this study is to comprehensively analyze the safety profile of this method in light of the latest scientific reports from 2019–2025. A review of the literature shows that the use of DBS is associated with the risk of technical complications (e.g., infections, equipment failure) and neuropsychiatric complications (e.g., hypomania, anxiety, impulsivity). It has been shown that a key risk factor is the lack of precision in the location of electrodes relative to individual white matter tracts, which undermines the validity of using universal anatomical coordinates. The paper presents evidence that the implementation of modern technologies, such as preoperative tractography and closed-loop stimulation systems, can significantly reduce the risk of adverse effects while maintaining therapeutic efficacy. The conclusions point to the need for a multidisciplinary approach to patient qualification and monitoring, using objective electrophysiological and behavioral biomarkers.
Introduction: The expansion of authorization allowing specialist palliative care nurses to pronounce death and issue death certificates represents an innovative approach within the Polish palliative care system. This initiative aims to improve the efficiency and quality of care for patients in the final stage of life. The purpose of this study was to assess the readiness of palliative care nurses to pronounce death and issue death certificates. Methods: The study was conducted in two stages. The first stage involved a pilot study carried out between October and November 2023, which included 77 nurses employed at the Inpatient Palliative Care Unit and the Home Hospice in Cz & eogon;stochowa. The main study was conducted from September 1, 2024, to November 30, 2024. It included 303 participants, 284 female nurses and 19 male nurses, who were professionally active and employed in public and private institutions across Poland, providing palliative care services. The research tool was a self-designed questionnaire consisting of 21 questions. Results: The study achieved full participation, with a 100% response rate. The vast majority (77.3%) of respondents supported the proposal to introduce this new authorization. More than half of the respondents (64%) stated that obtaining the authority to pronounce death and issue death certificates would enhance the prestige of the nursing profession, while 58% believed it would positively impact the quality and accessibility of palliative care services. Conclusions: Palliative care nurses with longer work experience demonstrate greater confidence in pronouncing death and issuing death certificates. Meanwhile, nurses holding a master's degree and a specialization, as well as those with more extensive experience in palliative care, show higher awareness of the need for continued professional education and advocate for expanded professional authorizations.
