Opis:
This paper aims at identifying factors (external and internal) affecting the ability of an enterprise to survive on the market. The analysis is based on the results of a retrospective study conducted in 2012 on a sample of enterprises from Malopolska voivodeship. Methods and models of event history analysis, including semiparametric Cox’s model were applied to analyse enterprises’ survival. The approach based on the event history analysis allows us to include dynamics of the process. The results provided extensive data on how factors such as size, activity sector, market range, legal form and internals conditions like: owner characteristics, investments, profits, reported barriers affect the survival of enterprises.

Opis:
Analiza przeżycia to zespół metod służących do modelowania czasu trwania kohorty, której jednostki są obserwowane od zdefiniowanego momentu początkowego do zdefiniowanego zdarzenia końcowego. Czas trwania jest traktowany jako zmienna losowa ciągła. Specyfika metod analizy przeżycia związana jest z występowaniem obserwacji cenzurowanych (uciętych) oraz tym, iż funkcje gęstości obserwowanej zmiennej są często nieznane, a rozkłady silnie asymetryczne, co uniemożliwia stosowanie metod klasycznej statystyki. Podstawową funkcją stosowaną w analizie przeżycia jest funkcja dalszego trwania wyrażająca prawdopodobieństwo, że jednostka nie doświadczy zdarzenia końcowego przed czasem t. Metodą oceny, czy pewne zmienne mają wpływ na zróżnicowanie czasu trwania jednostek, jest przeprowadzanie testów porównujących krzywe przeżycia na podstawie dwóch (lub więcej prób). Znaczna liczba tych testów została zaproponowana w ostatnich latach, w tym testy: Log-rank, będący jednym z lub najpopularniejszym, test Gehana, Tarone-Ware, Peto-Peto, Harringtona-Fleminga, testy typu Renyi. W literaturze mało uwagi poświęca się jednakże porównaniu własności tych testów. W poniższym opracowaniu przeprowadzono, przy wykorzystaniu metody Monte Carlo, analizę porównawczą mocy predykcyjnej testów dla dwóch krzywych przeżycia w małych próbach z różnym udziałem jednostek cenzurowanych. Losowano próby z populacji o założonym rozkładzie Weibulla przy różnych proporcjach jednostek kompletnych i cenzurowanych (o losowej kolejności pojawiania się ustalanej w oparciu o rozkład jednostajny) w celu określenia efektywnej wielkości prób dla poszczególnych testów. Szczególną wagę poświęcono problemowi krzyżowania się krzywych przeżycia i zdolności testów do wykrywania różnic między krzywymi przeżycia w takiej sytuacji.

Introduction and objective. Peroxiredoxin-1 (PRDX-1) belongs to a family of antioxidant enzymes and has proved to be a versatile molecule regulating cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis. PRDX1-regulated signaling pathways play an important role in the progression and metastasis of human tumours, especially in breast, esophageal and lung cancers. The aim of the study was to evaluate the expression of PRDX-1 in ovarian cancer tissues, and to test the clinical value of PRDX-1 as a prognostic factor in this malignancy. Materials and method. PRDX-1 expression was assessed by automated immunohistochemistry in tumours taken from 55 patients with ovarian cancer during primary surgery. Specimen were formalin-fixed and preserved in paraffin-embedded blocks. The results were correlated with clinicopathological data. Results. A high expression of PRDX-1 was observed in 20% of cases, and was associated with worse compliance to chemotherapy protocol (P<0.002), worse response to chemotherapy (P<0.04), and higher levels of CA 125 after the 1st line treatment (P<0.004). PRDX-1 positive subjects had a significantly lower 5-year disease-free survival (9.1% vs. 42.6%, P<0.01) and a lower 5-year overall survival (9.1% vs. 56.7%; P<0.002). Multivariate analysis showed that a high expression of PRDX-1 is an independent prognostic factor of poor, overall survival (P<0.002) and a disease-free survival (P<0.01). Conclusion. Results of the study show that PRDX-1 expression in tumour tissues can be another biomarker of prognosis in patients with ovarian cancer.

Abstract. In many medical, biological or economic follow-up studies the subject of observation is survival, failure or duration time, that is the length of time elapsed from a specific starting point to an event of interest. In engineering applications it may be the time to failure of piece of equipment, in medical trials - time to occurrence of a particular disease or time to death of a patient due to some specific disease, in economic studies - time of being unemployed and so on. In the analysis of survival-type variables one is often faced with right-censored observations. Sometimes it is impossible to measure the true failure time of an individual due to previous occurrence of some other event called competing event, which result in interruption of observation before the event occurs. It may be withdrawal of the subject from the study or failure from some causes other the one of interest or simply limitation on the length of study. If we are only interested in failure time, then the competing events can be regarded as right-censoring the event of interest. It means that for each individual we observe either the time to failure or the time to censoring and for censored individuals we know only that the time to failure is greater then the censoring time. In reliability studies censoring is often planned in order to obtain information sooner than it is otherwise possible. Instead of testing m units until they fail, the Type I censoring design is employed in which more then m units are tested but observation is terminated earlier at the end of some specified period x*. Those units, which failed before this time yield complete observations and the rest of them is right-censored. Despite such incompleteness of the data it is often desired to estimate survival function that is the probability P(X > x) that the true failure time X in the population of individuals exceeds x. The paper deals with a problem of estimating survival function in the right-censored data. Some improvements of the well-known Kaplan - Meier estimator are discussed and their properties are studied.

Opis:
Background. Tunneled catheters are becoming increasingly used as a permanent dialysis access. Easy way of insertion and good long-term patency make them competitive to fistulas in some groups of patients. Methods. Late complications and survival of 180 tunneled catheters inserted from June 2010 to December 2013 in 171 unselected hemodialysis patients were analyzed. Results. The cumulative time of observation was 2103.5 patient-months and median observation was 9 months (range of 0.5-45 months). Only 19 out of 180 catheters were removed due to complications (12 for infections, 4 due to malfunction and 3 because of mechanical damage). Majority of catheters were removed electively: 27 after maturation of arterio-venous fistula (AVF), 4 after kidney transplant, 5 after transfer to peritoneal dialysis and 3 due to the recovery of renal function. At the end of the observation, 58 catheters were still in use and 64 patients had died with functioning catheter. When censored for elective catheter removal and patient death, 88.2% of catheters survived for 1 year. Catheter survival was significantly better in older patients (over 65 years, in comparison to patients < 65 years, p = 0.046). Conclusions. Nearly 90% of all inserted catheters gave reliable dialysis access as long as it was needed. Among them, over 30% of the inserted catheters were in use at the end of the observation period, and over 30% of patients had died with a functioning catheter. The results of tunneled catheters survival are encouraging and they should be taken into consideration during decision-making on vascular access, especially in the older patients.

The article presents the results of the duration analysis for 21,163 enterprises (natural persons conducting economic activity) established in the Łódzkie Voivodship in 2010 and observed until December 31, 2015. The Kaplan-Meier estimation of the survival function, the Cox proportionalhazards model and the recursive partitioning method (the CTree algorithm) are applied to achieve the goal of the conducted research i.e. to answer the following question: does the type of business activity and location of the enterprise affect its duration? Prediction error curves based on the bootstrap crossvalidation estimates of the prediction error are used to assess and compare predictions obtained from all three models. On the basis of the analysis results it can be assumed that the type of business activity makes firms more varied due to their duration compared to their location.

Opis:
A family, as the basic social unit has been a subject to statisticians' and demographists' research for many years. Recently, the marriage institution has changed not only regarding the age at which people marry and the number of children they have but also as concerns its stability. At the same time, alternative forms of family appeared, mostly cohabitations. Such a variety complicates analysis of functioning and stability of a family. It becomes even more complicated regarding the fact that cohabitation often precedes marriage thus it needs to be decided whether it should be analyzed independently or rather in relation to the marriage that comes next. However, increasing divorce rate as well as cohabitations which are more common lead to the question on the stability of marriages and informal relationships as well as other changes observed recently in this area. The main objective of the study is to analyze and compare the stability of first relationships for women from birth cohorts 1951-1960 and 1961-1970.Cohort analysis makes it possible to present the changes in marital stability that have been observed for women from demographic decline cohort (1961-1970) as compared to women from demographic bulge cohort (1951-1960). Analyzed data comes from the questionnaire D (Fertility in Poland) of the National Population and Housing Census 2002.

Introduction:The presence of tumor budding, i.e.,single cancer cells or a nest of poorly differentiated cells at the front of tumor invasion appears to be a new histopathological indicator of increased aggressiveness of colorectal carcinoma. Purpose: The aim of this work was a retrospective evaluation of the invasion front (tumorbudding, vascular invasion,and lymphocytic infiltration) in postoperative biopsies of patients with colorectal carcinoma and analysis of the 5-year survival. Materialsand methods:The study was based on the material received after surgical treatment of 164 patients with colon cancer. Tissue was obtained directly following tumor resection, fixed in 10% formaldehyde and embedded in paraffin blocks using a routine method by melting with paraffin at a temperature of 56º C. These samples were then routinely stained with haematoxylin and eosin and underwent a histopathological evaluation, with particular attention being paid to the invasion front of the tumor. The immunohistochemical expression of cytokeratin 20 was also evaluated using anti-human CK20 monoclonal antibody (clone Ks.20.8, Dako, Poland). Results: Tumor budding was found in 124 out of 164 patients. Statistical analysis showed a correlation between the presence of tumor budding TB and depth of invasion (pT), lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, lymphocytic infiltration,and vascular invasion. The cumulative five-year survival correlated with the lack of tumor budding and vascular invasion, as well as a decrease in lymphocyticinfiltration.

Znajduje on zastosowanie w analizie przeżycia przy przewidywaniuszans przetrwania pewnych obiektów (najczęściej pacjentów w badaniach medycznych).Istotną zaletą modelu jest możliwość uwzględnienia w nim danych niepełnych, które częstopojawiają się w przeprowadzanych badaniach — zarówno w sposób losowy, jak i celowy.Model Coxa sprawdza się szczególnie dobrze w sytuacji, gdy interesujące jest określenieskuteczności sposobu leczenia w sensie porównawczym, czyli w odniesieniu do innych te-rapii. Terminologia i przykłady zaczerpnięte są na ogół z medycyny, ale opisany modelstosuje się również np. w socjologii, kryminalistyce czy inżynierii.Słowa kluczowe: model Coxa, hazard, analiza przeżycia.
The paper presents Cox proportional hazards model, its properties and methods of its parameters estimation. It is widely applicable in survival analysis – in prediction of survival chances of some objects (usually patients in medical studies). The essential advantage of the model is allowing of incomplete data, which often appear in studies –both in random and fixed way. Cox model works especially well when determination of treatment effectiveness in comparative sense (with reference to other therapies) is needed. Terminology and examples are usually taken from medicine but the model can be used also in sociology, crime detection or engineering.

The paper presents an algorithm for induction of decision list from survival data. The algorithm uses a survival tree as the inner learner which is repeatedly executed in order to select the best rule at each iteration. The effectiveness of the algorithm was empirical tested for two implementations of survival trees on 15 benchmark datasets. The results show that proposed algorithm for survival decision list construction is able to induce more compact models than corresponding survival tree without the loss of the accuracy of predictions.

W ostatnim latach testy porównywania czasu trwania zjawisk znajdują coraz więcej zastosowań w analizie zagadnień ekonomicznych. Przykładami może być analiza czasu pozostawania na bezrobociu, czasu poszukiwania pracy, czasu istnienia przedsiębiorstwa, itp. W literaturze można spotkać wiele testów do porównywania funkcji przeżycia. Autorzy niniejszego opracowania zdecydowali się przeprowadzić badania symulacyjne, których celem jest porównanie efektywności najczęściej stosowanych testów służących do porównywania czasu trwania zjawisk, w wersji zaimplementowanej w pakiecie STATISTICA. Za pomocą symulacji badano poziom błędu pierwszego rodzaju oraz moc następujących testów statystycznych służących testowaniu hipotezy zerowej głoszącej równość krzywych przeżycia w dwóch populacjach. Analizie poddano następujące testy: Wilcoxona wg. Gehana, F Coxa, Coxa-Mantela, Wilcoxona wg. Peto i Peto i log-rank. W ramach symulacji generowano próby losowe z rozkładu Weibulla.
Recently, tests for comparing survival distributions become more and more popular and used in applied economics. Unemployment duration, time needed to find a new job, enterprise survival or waiting for a commodity to be sold are good examples. There are a number of tests to compare survival distributions proposed in statistical literature. The aim of this research was to analyze, by the means of computer simulations, the effectiveness of survival tests as implemented in STATISTICA software. The following tests have been outlined and compared: Wilcoxon, Geehan, Cox-Mantel, Peto & Peto and log rank. Random samples were generated from Weibull distribution.

Opis:
Colletotrichum truncatum (syn. C. capsici), like many other members of the genus Colletotrichum, displays a highly developed infection mechanism against a number of agriculturally important crops. Among many survival strategies, C. truncatum is well known for its wide host range and high pathogenicity on several major crop species. Meticulous understanding of a pathogen’s infection mechanisms is the best way to achieve successful management of a disease. This study was carried out to evaluate the pathogenicity of C. truncatum on selected crop plants and weed species and to detect the possibility of non-host species to facilitate survival of the pathogen. Inoculation of an isolate of C. truncatum to four crops: curry chilli – Capsicum annuum (var. CA8), eggplant – Solanum melongena (var. Lena Iri), tomato – Solanum lycopersicum (var. Thilina) and green chilli – C. annuum (var. KA2) and three weed species: little ironweed (Vernonia cinerea), billygoat-weed (Ageratum conyzoides) and Bengal dayflower (Commelina benghalensis) resulted in approximately 3.5 disease severity (DS) (100% disease incidence-DI) on S. lycopersicum and C. annuum (var. KA2), followed by 2.8 and 1.8 DS (100%, 75% DI) on C. annuum (var. CA8) and S. melongena (var. Lena Iri), respectively. The three weed species were completely symptomless up to 8 weeks after the inoculation (WAI). However, microscopic studies and serial culturing of the inoculated tissues revealed the presence of the fungus in all the tested plants. Appressoria were present in all treated leaves and eventually broke their dormancy upon leaf senescence nearly 6 WAI. This study reveals the potential of C. truncatum infecting all tested crops and the capability of the three weed species in harboring the pathogen asymptomatically for several weeks. Thus, early management of inoculum in the field is suggested for C. truncatum diseases.

Introduction. Legionella longbeachae, a causative agent of Legionnaire’s disease, has often been associated with potting soil and gardening, a feature quite distinct from other Legionella species. The precise transmission mechanism is still unknown, although due to the ecological coherence of the soil and water there is a potential risk of infection by contaminated stagnant water in the garden. Objective. The aim of the study was to explore the ability of L. longbeachae to survive in stagnant tap water usually used for watering in gardens. The influence of different factors (temperature, pH and NaCl concentration) on L. longbeachae survival in stagnant tap water was also tested. Results. The result showed that L. longbeachae is viable in stagnant tap water over 100 days at 4 °C and 25 °C. The survival of L. longbeachae exposed to different pH and NaCl concentration suggests resistance to low pH values (pH2 and pH5) and all tested NaCl concentrations at temperatures lower than 25 °C. The ability of L. longbeachae to persist in stagnant tap water should be taken seriously in the risk assessments as a possible hidden reservoir of infection.

Opis:
Gallbladder cancer is a relatively rare cancer of the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly detected (approximately 95% of cases) in the most advanced clinical stage IV and burdened with high mortality rate. This is mainly due to the nonspecific symptoms in the early stages of the disease. The remaining cases of gallbladder cancer are usually detected after surgery due to gallstone disease. Gallstones, their size and pancreatic juice reflux into the gallbladder are risk factors in the development of gallbladder cancer. In this paper the authors carried out a retrospective research based on an evaluation of a group of 38 patients treated surgically due to the gallbladder cancer in the years 2005-2012 in the Second Department of General and Gastroenterological Surgery in Białystok Medical University Hospital. In this group there were 29 women and 9 men, in age between 48-86 years. Although women suffered from gallbladder cancer more often than men, their survival rate was significantly better after the surgery. The research showed some benefits of extended surgical procedures even in patients with advanced stages of the disease, while the effectiveness of surgical treatment depends mainly on the possibility of radical resection of the primary lesion and, eventually, the resection of lymph nodes and other infiltrated tissues.

Opis:
Shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa) is an essential tree crop with great potential economic value mainly because of its seed oil (shea butter) which is of high demand for manufacturing assorted products in food, cosmetic, and rubber industries. Propagation of this species is, however, hindered by relative unavailability of seed (nuts), erratic seed germination, a long vegetative phase, and latex exudation from cuttings. Thus, another method of propagation through in vitro culture is recommended for rapid multiplication of shea genotypes for large-scale cultivation. In the present study, the effects of two cytokinins, namely, 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and kinetin (KIN), and one auxin, namely 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), on shoot and/or root induction in vitro were assessed at various combinations/concentrations. The inclusion of these growth regulators in the culture medium significantly improved (P < 0.05) shoot/root regeneration over the controls. The highest shoot regeneration percentage (100%) was obtained on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 2 mg * dm^-3 KIN + 0.5 mg * dm^-3 NAA or 1.5 mg * dm^-3 KIN within 7/8 days of inoculation. This medium (2 mg * dm^-3 KIN + 0.5 mg * dm^-3 NAA) showed the highest mean shoot length of 3.24 cm. Compared to KIN, BAP was more effective in inducing vigorous shoot growth. However, rooting was induced only on MS medium modified with 1 mg * dm^-3 BAP + 0.5 mg * dm^-3 NAA. These findings can serve as baseline information for in vitro, commercial scale propagation of shea tree.

Opis:
This paper examines the phenomenon of survival horror games. It focuses on “yūrei”, a Japanese mythological supernatural being. “Yūrei” returns to the world of the living to take revenge on the people who harmed them in the past. The paper also concentrates on the remediation of “yūrei” iconography from literature and Japanese ghost movies into games. It analyses the characteristics of the survival horror genre, dividing them into the ludic and semantic systems. It also describes the relationships between traditional Japanese legends and modern texts, and presents an important issue of the main character (usually schematic and doomed to failure). Observations are based mainly on two games: “Calling” for Nintendo Wii and “Kuon” for PlayStation 2.

Opis:
  In this work, we consider a simple mathematical model of radiochemotherapy which includes a term responsible for radiosensitization. We focus on finding theoretically optimal controls which maximise tumour cure probability for a finite, fixed therapeutic horizon. We prove that the optimal controls for both therapies are of 0-bang type, a result which is not altered by the inclusion of the radiosensilization term. By means of numerical simulations, we show that optimal control offers a moderate increase in survival time over a sequential treatment. We then revisit in more detail a question of measuring the synergy between the therapies by means of isobolograms, a common experimental technique for measuring the additivity of two treatments.

Opis:
INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular diseases, including coronary disease and its complications, are the most common cause of death. Myocardial infarction is usually caused by a blood clot cosing the lumen of a coronary artery at the site of an unstable atherosclerotic plaque. MATERIAL AND METHODS: All the analyzed patients with mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were hospitalized at the 2nd Department of Cardiology and Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care of the Upper-Silesian Medical Centre in Katowice in 2006–2016 and the database was based on the medical records of the patients. The study group comprised 52 (100%) patients. There were 23 (44.2%) women and 29 (55.8%) men, aged 54 to 84 years with a mean age of 69.8 years. RESULTS: Ventricular septal rupture (n = 36; 69.2%) was the most frequently observed complication but papillary muscle rupture (n = 4; 7.7%) and tendinous chord rupture (n = 4; 7.7%) were the least frequent. Hypertension and hypercholesterolemia were the most common risk factors for coronary heart disease in the study group. An increased mortality rate was observed in patients who received pharmacological treatment compared to surgically treated patients (87.5% vs. 61.4%). The majority of patients had one risk factor for coronary heart disease (28; 53.8%). CONCLUSIONS: 1. In the study group, ventricular septal rupture and the cardiac free wall rupture were the most frequently observed mechanical complications of AMI. 2. Patients with AMI had numerous risk factors for coronary heart disease, of which hypertension and hypercholesterolemia were the most common. 3. Patients with mechanical complications of AMI had both higher mortality rates than survival and they were higher in the pharmacologically treated group.
WSTĘP: Choroby układu krążenia, w tym choroba wieńcowa i jej powikłania, stanowią najczęstszą przyczynę zgonów. Zawał mięśnia sercowego spowodowany jest zwykle pęknięciem blaszki miażdżycowej i zamknięciem tętnicy wieńcowej skrzepliną. MATERIAŁ I METODY: Badaniem objęto 52 chorych (100%) z mechanicznymi powikłaniami ostrego zawału serca, hospitalizowanych w II Oddziale Kardiologii oraz Oddziale Anestezjologii i Intensywnej Terapii Górnośląskiego Centrum Medycznego w Katowicach w latach 2006–2016, wtym 23 kobiety (44,2%) i 29 mężczyzn (55,8%) w wieku 54‒84 lat (średnia wieku 69,8 roku). WYNIKI: Najczęstszym powikłaniem było pęknięcie przegrody międzykomorowej (n = 36; 69,2%), natomiast do najrzadszych należały pęknięcie mięśnia brodawkowatego (n = 4; 7,7%) i pęknięcie ścięgien (n = 4; 7,7%). Nadciśnienie i hipercholesterolemia były najczęstszymi czynnikami ryzyka wystąpienia choroby niedokrwiennej serca w badanej grupie. Zwiększoną śmiertelność zaobserwowano u pacjentów leczonych farmakologicznie (87,5%), podczas gdy śmiertelność pacjentów leczonych operacyjnie wynosiła 61,4%. U większości pacjentów występował jeden czynnik ryzyka choroby wieńcowej (n = 28; 53,8%). WNIOSKI: 1. Najczęstszymi powikłaniami były pęknięcie przegrody międzykomorowej i pęknięcie ściany serca. 2. U pacjentów występowało wiele czynników ryzyka dla choroby niedokrwiennej serca, spośród których najczęstszymi były nadciśnienie i hipercholesterolemia. 3. Śmiertelność w badanej grupie chorych z mechanicznymi powikłaniami ostrego zawału serca znacznie przewyższała przeżywalność i była większa w grupie leczonych zachowawczo.

non-proportional hazards
Opis:
Cox proportional hazard model is one of the most common methods used in time to event analysis. The idea of the model is to define a hazard level as a dependent variable which is explained by the time-related component (so-called baseline hazard) and the covariates- related component. The model is based on several restrictive assumptions one of which is the assumption of proportional hazard. However, if this assumption is violated, this does not necessarily prevent an analyst from using Cox model. The current paper presents two ways of model modification in the case of non-proportional hazards: introducing interactions of selected covariates with function of time and stratification model. Calculations performed give the evidence that both methods result in better model fit as compared with the original model. Additionally, they allow interpreting the parameters estimates more precisely, taking into account the effect of the covariate at the hazard level that is changing over time. The choice of the appropriate method of tied events handling however is not straightforward and should be adjusted to the particular analysis purpose.

Opis:
Contemporary pop culture dynamics encourages artists to reconfigure, for instance, a plethora of character patterns. A fine example of such tendency is the trope of zombie associated by the mass imagination with a spiritless horde chasing after living survivors – and the genre meant to support such a narrative is, par excellence, a horror. The presence of zombies in horror does not, however, limit the creativity of authors who, while reinterpreting this trope, are wont to assign zombies a pivotal or tangential role in dystopian, pastiche, or paranormal narratives. The article gathers and sums up all similar tendencies in literature, placing a special emphasis on narrative experiments and recalling a multitude of examples.

Opis:
Margaret Atwood’s novels are usually celebrated for their blunt feminism. However, in Moral Disorder—a series of interconnected stories that forms a novel—feminist concerns are replaced with worries about territory and survival. The protagonist is an insider whose sole concern is to survive and to protect her territory. The confrontation between the narrator as the insider and the outsiders does not occur directly but could be inferred by her cruelty toward other characters and her violence against the animals under her care. The present study argues that this cruelty, which abounds in the novel, could be viewed as a substitute for violence against the outsiders. The narrator’s gaze at the Indian boy who entered the protagonist’s territory manifests a garrison mentality. The frequent references to axes in the novel are compared to the use of axes in “Wilderness Tips,” a short story by Atwood in which axes also have a metaphoric significance. The beheading and dismemberment of domestic animals could be the punishment awaiting the intruder. The novel establishes a division between the insider/outsider, here/there, self/other and civilized/barbaric to call for action and awareness about the importance of protecting one’s territory.

Opis:
Pines are generally fire-resistant trees. There is a shortage of research on the behaviour of Scots pine after surface fire in older stands. The aim of the work was to describe the effect of the surface fire intensity on the mortality of pines of various diameter at breast height (DBH), including older trees. The research was conducted in Peucedano-Pinetum oligotrophic Scots-pine forest in Kampinos National Park (KPN, central Poland) on the area of two adjacent surface fire sites originated in spring 2015 in 60- to 200-year-old stands (site area: 10,92 ha). There were 45 (28 burned and 17 control) permanent plots established after the fire. The share of not burned, superficially burned and completely burnout organic horizon of the soil was determined within all of them. DBH and location of pine trees were measured within all of the plots on the area of 200 m2. For all of the trees for which full information about soil organic horizon damage was mapped, the prevailing type of disturbance in their close neighbourhoods with radii of 1 and 2 m was assessed. The mortality of trees was assessed after each vegetation period up to 2017, basing on the presence of green needles on the trees. The influence of fire intensity on the survival of trees was examined on whole permanent plot level as well as on individual tree level. Strong linear correlation was observed between Scots pine mortality and the share of plots area with damaged organic layer, especially at the end of the third vegetation period after fire. Logistic regression models constructed for individual trees suggest that bigger tree diameter (hence, thicker bark) diminished the odds of mortality only after two vegetation periods from the fire. After the third vegetation period, only the intensity of surface fire in the close neighbourhood of trees influenced (negatively) the chance on survival. The size of trees did no matter in this case. Nearly all of the trees that were located within burnout organic matter areas died. The results did not support the commonly known mechanism of enhancement of bigger Scots pine tree survival after surface fire because of thicker bark responsible for heat protection. Probably, the main cause of observed mortality was not overheating of cambium but it was rather connected to massive fine root loses. Scots pines growing on oligotrophic arid sites modify their root system to explore topsoil layers with higher proportion of shallow roots, growing even in organic litter layer. This corresponds with massive (regardless of size) pine mortality within sites characterised by complete burnout of organic matter layer and very high survival in those ones with only surfacely burned litter layer. The results can improve the assessment of surface fires consequences in managed Scots pine stands growing in oligotrophic conditions.

Introduction: Incidence, morbidity and 5-year survival rates illustrate the epidemiological situation of colorectal cancer and assess effectiveness of the treatment. In Poland, the National Health Fund is the payer of services. The data related to morbidity, incidence, and 5-year survival may be supplementary to the epidemiological data of the National Cancer Registry. Objective: Analysis of services granted by NHF in Bydgoszcz to persons with diagnosed colorectal cancer in 2006–2011 including the assessment of incidence, morbidity and 5-year survival of the population in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie province. Material and methods: The study analyzed the services recorded in the database of the National Health Fund in Bydgoszcz in 2006-2011 given to patients with colorectal cancer. The Kaplan-Meier method and the gambling rate were used to determine the probability of survival. Results: In 2006–2011, men were offered 10.1% more services than women. The most frequent services regarded colorectal cancer (48.9%), rectal cancer (43.8%) and esophageal cancer (7.2%). In total, 50410 services were provided. Despite increase in the number of women in the population, 388 more men died than women. The probability of survival was 46.8 % and 42.6% for men and women, respectively, furthermore 41.8%, 44.2% and 48.9% for colon cancer and esophageal and rectal folds cancer, respectively. Conclusions: In the Kujawsko-Pomorskie province during the period of 2006–2011, the number of diagnosed colorectal cancers increased as did the overall number of services provided. There was also a downward trend for the total number of services granted in relation to the increase in the number of new diagnosed cases. Incidence and morbidity rates were variable, gradually increasing in subsequent years and amounted to 59/100000 and 67/100000, 355/100000 and 408/100000 in 2010 and 2011, respectively. The probability of 5-year survival was 45.2%. Diagnosis of a disease in patients above 69 years of age increased the likelihood of death.
