In 1917, the president of the American Psychological Association at that time, Raymond Dodge, wrote “I have no expectation that the laws of mental fatigue will be formulated in the immediate future”. Remarkably, despite continuous efforts over a period of more than 100 years, a mature theory of the origins and neural mechanisms of mental fatigue has yet to be achieved. Physical fatigue is defined as “the transient inability of muscles to maintain optimal physical performance, and is made more severe by intense physical exercise”. Mental fatigue could be phrased as “a transient decrease in maximal cognitive performance resulting from prolonged periods of cognitive activity”. Curre...

Most of the world is happily witnessing a decline in the burden of COVID-19 disease after the global efforts to develop, produce, and deploy anti-SARS-CoV2 vaccines to massive country-level vaccination campaigns. At the same time, this decline is coming at the cost of a silent public crisis due to the rise in the number of people suffering from the post-COVID-19 syndrome (commonly known as long COVID). These people experience a wide set of symptoms, such as persistent fatigue, post-exertional malaise after minimal physical or mental effort, and unrefreshing sleep, representing a substantial healthcare burden worldwide. Some of these people also comply with the current criteria for the diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), a complex disease often stigmatized by society and neglected by research funders over the years.

This pioneering work offers a meticulous exploration of Scandinavian presence in Viking Age Poland. Unveiling the complexities and controversies of past research and delving into the nuances of reciprocal interactions between Western Slavic and Scandinavian populations as revealed through archaeology and medieval texts, the book casts genuinely new light on a previously overlooked part of the Viking world. In setting the stage for these investigations, the monograph traces the evolution of Viking and Old Norse studies in Poland. It covers the romanticisation of Norse culture and literature, the dark days of the Second World War when archaeology was strongly driven by violent ideologies, and ...
