The aim of the study was to analyse the content of museum labels from various periods in terms of their usefulness in creating new labels for exhibits included in museum collections. Nearly 5,000 museum labels from the years 1811 to 2017 were reviewed, for exhibits at the Museum of Zoology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, Herbarium of the University of Wroclaw, and the Museum of Forensic Medicine at the Medical University of Wroclaw. On the basis of the collected information, an attempt was made to develop a ‘universal label’template, including a range of necessary information from the point of view of managing and maintaining the accessibility of the relevant collection.

With Jack Sepkoski's sudden death from heart failure on May 1, 1999, paleontology lost one of its most important figures. In his 25–year career, Jack published more than 70 research articles, 15 of them in this journal, and an equal number of reviews, commentaries, and abstracts. He co-edited Paleobiology (1983–86), received the Schuchert Award (1983), and served as President of the Paleontological Society (1995–96). In 1997, he was elected to the Polish Academy of Sciences and in the same year received the Medal of the University of Helsinki. Further recognition would surely have followed but for his untimely death.

The study provides an account of two scientific events organized as part of the celebrations of the 70th anniversary of the Accounting Department at the University of Lodz. The first event was the 6th Seminar of the Accounting Science Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Branch in Lodz, entitled "Ac- countancy history", the second one - the 7th Seminar of the Accounting Science Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Branch in Lodz, entitled "Behavioral aspects of accounting".

The State Zoological Museum and the Establishment of the Polish Academy of Sciences: The Beginnings of the Institute of Zoology of the Polish Academy of Sciences The State Zoological Museum, established in 1928, inherited and developed the legacy of the Zoological Cabinet of the University of Warsaw (existing since 1818). The Cabinet’s collection had been gathered for decades and belonged to eminent personages not only in Poland but also in Europe. The Museum and its collections were threatened many times: first by a great fire in 1935, then by the German attack on Warsaw in 1939 and subsequent occupation, as well as by the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising and the destruction of the city. After the post-war reconstruction of the Museum, it was time to function in a new political reality, in which the most significant change for this institution was the establishment of the Polish Academy of Sciences. A planned inclusion of the State Zoological Museum in the structures of the newly-founded Polish Academy of Sciences meant that the scientists had to face a dilemma: in exchange for research funds and career development opportunities, they were expected to show favour to the communists and readiness to implement the idea of socialism. In the background of this process, numerous scientific conferences took place, where controversial visions of the future of biological sciences clashed. This process resulted in the transformation of the State Zoological Museum into the Institute of Zoology of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

Daesung Lee of the University of Illinois, Chicago, taking advantage of the facile insertion of an alkylidene carbene into a C-Si bond, established (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 6640) a general method for the conversion of an α-silyl ketone 1 into the silyl cyclopropene 3. Christopher D. Bray of Queen Mary University showed (J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 4652) that the sulfonyl phosphonate 5 converted the enantiomerically pure epoxide 4 into the cyclopropane 6. Paul Margaretha of the University of Hamburg observed (Organic Lett. 2010, 12, 728) smooth photochemical combination of 7 and 8 to give 9 with high diastereocontrol. Tõnis Kanger of the Tallinn University of Technology devised (Organic Lett. 2010, 12, 2230) the three-component coupling of 10, 11, and diethyl amine to give, after reduction, the highly substituted cyclobutane 12. Min Shi of the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry uncovered (J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 902) an interesting new thermal rearrangement: the conversion of 13 to 14. José G. Ávila-Zárraga of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México applied (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 2232) Pd catalysis to the cyclization of the epoxy nitrile 15, redirecting the reaction from the expected cyclobutane to the cyclopentanol 16. Ullrich Jahn of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic effected (J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 4480) the oxidative radical cyclization of 17 to 18. Initial deprotonation of the substrate with t -BuMgCl switched the product to the trans diastereomer. Jonathan W. Burton of the University of Oxford employed (Organic Lett. 2010, 12, 2738) a related oxidative cyclization for the diastereoselective conversion of 19 to 20. E. J. Corey of Harvard University reported (Organic Lett. 2010, 12, 300) a new ligand for the enantioselective Ni-mediated reduction of 21 to 22. Shu-Li You, also of the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, established (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 4056) that the alcohol 23, readily prepared by oxidation of p -cresol, could be cyclized to the crystalline 25 in high ee.
