In order to define the peculiarities of bronchial asthma with obesity there was carried out the analysis of the examination of 90 patients suffering from BA. The patients were divided in 3 groups: the first one consisted of 33 patients with normal body mass, the second one consisted of 29 patients with excessive body mass and the third one consisted of 28 patients with obesity. Bronchial asthma of the patients with obesity significantly more often was complicated by lung tissue pneumosclerosis and these patients more often were diagnosed the comorbid states - hypertensive heart disease and type 2 diabetes. The patients from group with obesity significantly rarely were diagnosed allergic rhinitis and eosinophilia. Within analysis of the respiratory functions it was detected that the patients with obesity and excessive body mass had more expressive restrictive obstructions than the patients with normal body mass. Group with obesity included more women whose disease in comparison to man part was significantly more often complicated by pulmonary insufficiency of the third degree and pulmonary emphysema. In comparison to women men with obesity more often were suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus. Key words: bronchial asthma, phenotype, obesity.

In 5 male volunteers performed 79 items HRV and EEG in the basal period and 25 tracks with 1,5 h after drinking 30 ml of water well, distilled, filtered, Holy (blind) and the well water indicates that it Holy (placebo ). Preliminary analysis revealed no significant differences between neurotropic effects of well, distilled and filtered waters, because for further analysis they were combined in a cluster "control waters". Found 48 parameters of HRV and EEG, in which a set of clusters "control waters", "Holy water" and "placebo" significantly different from each other and from the basal level. These parameters formed 9 patterns that demonstrate the stimulating or inhibitory neurotropic effect: 1) only placebo; 2) only Holy water; 3) placebo and Holy water as 3.1) opposite and 3.2) approximately equally. Conclusion : neurotropic effects Holy water is like autosuggestion and information (Divine) nature. Keywords : EEG, HRV, Holy water, placebo.

Editorial: Towards a Better Understanding of Aggression and Other Related Concepts

This special issue entitled “Towards a better understanding of aggression and other related concepts” is a product of the XXXVII CICA International Conference co-organized by two Polish universities: Kazimierz Wielki University of Bydgoszcz and the University of Zielona Góra. It took place from the 22 to the 25 June, 2014 and was attended by about 100 participants from 16 countries [1]. The aim of the Conference was to study the phenomena of aggression and conflict resolution using a comprehensive, integrated and interdisciplinary approach which takes into account both biological and psycho-socio-cultural factors. Several communications dealing with emotions, including anger and fear, and others with behaviors such as aggression, violence and terrorism, have been selected for this issue. A Southafrican practitioner, Tina Lindhard, specialized in transpersonal psychology, suggests that maybe it is time we start studying emotions including anger and fear from "the inside out" by including phenomenology as a method to throw more light on how we experience these states in or through our bodies. Furthermore, she presents the "Living Matrix" model, which owes its origin to Quantum Mechanics and Electronic Biology, as a new complementary way of understanding how the living organism functions [2]. The Italian scholar Dr. Pagani stresses the complexity of violence, presented as a macrosystem of networks and of agents linked and interacting at different interconnected levels. She points out to the difficulty of defining violence, referring it not only to the explorations of the connections between systems taken from different research fields, but also to the theoretical premises and to the aims of the research. She argues that this “holistic” approach could allow a deeper understanding of violence and could lead towards more innovative and effective solutions to the problem of violence itself [3]. Dr. Ramirez, who has dedicated several decades of his research to the analysis of the justification of aggression from a cross-cultural approach across four continents, evaluates the applicability of a specific test (CAMA) in a new cultural context, assessing the structural equivalence of the data obtained in two different German age cohorts with the data previously investigated across the other cultures. Some adaptations concerning the assessment and theoretical models of the justification of aggressive actions in the German cultural context are being discussed [4]. Two academic colleagues from the University of Zielona Góra, Dr. Farnicka & Dr. Grzegorzewska, focus on some more practical aspects of aggression research, if we may say that, leading towards its prevention or therapy in children and adolescents. These Polish psychologists identify and analyse the family determinants for undertaking the aggressor or victim role. The results of their study reveal a number of determinants for people involved in perpetration or victimization, such as the type of relationship with parents (secure or insecure pattern), personal experience of being in the victim or aggressor role, and the level of hostility [5]. Finally, the first president of the Society for Terrorism Research, Dr. LoCicero, recounts some concerns raised by American psychologists, both earlier, in the years following September 11, 2001 (9/11), and more recent changes in the US policy, leading towards the risk for the USA of becoming a police state. According to her paper, engaging in open discussion about the failings of the American policy, the sometimes legitimate grievances of terrorist groups, and the draw of violence as a solution, is likely to put sincere and innocent adults at risk of becoming targets of intensive surveillance and suspicion [6]. It is thus clear that the discussion on aggression and other related concepts is here carried out from various scientific perspectives, which include traditional experimental psychology with a special focus on the role of family relationships and cultural factors, social and political psychology with a special focus on the role of State policies, and other theoretical perspectives which try to integrate their psychological framework with contributions from western and eastern philosophy, the neurosciences, biology, quantum physics, and complexity theory.

Departement of pathomorphology. State Institution “Crimea State Medical University named after S.I. Georgievsky”, Simferopol, Crimea Republic, Russian Federation Summary Aim is to determine and measurement of placenta growth factor (PLGF), to demonstrate apoptosis in the human placenta in normal and abnormal pregnancies would usefully predict subsequent placental insufficiency. Clinico-functional evaluation of fetoplacental complex and definition of placental growth factor (PLGF) activity in serum of 55 pregnant women has been carried out. Histological verification of chronic placental insufficiency showed 3 types of patients: Compensatory chronic placental insufficiency, Subcompensatory and Subcompensatory with acute decompensation. Immunohistochemically a cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the expression of antybodies: marker of angiogenesis - CD34 , of apoptosis - P53 and antiapoptotic protein bcl2. Calculation of number of positive cells on 3-d visual areas of slide (200 magnification) took place. Comparing information of indexes of level of PLGF in the whey of blood, indexes of CD34 positive vessels and apoptosis it is possible to suppose that the investigated data show the dynamics of pathomorphologic changes in a placenta at chronic placenta insufficiency and can be diagnostic criteria. Key words: human placenta, abnormal pregnancies, angiogenesis, apoptosis.

The study involved 29 players taking part in the competition Polish Volleyball League SA. Characteristics of participants: age 27.3 ± 3.8 years, body height 197.2 ± 6.7 cm, body mass 91.6 ± 8.9 kg, training experience of 7.5 ± 3.5 years. Each volleyball player performed coaching test consisting of three block jumps and three spike jumps, and laboratory test consisting of three counter-movement jump (CMJ) and three spike jump (SPJ) performed on force plate. The mean values obtained by the competitors in the coaching test were: height in block jump 61.5±8.8 cm, height in spike jump 81.1±10.3 cm, and laboratory test: the height of rise of the body’s centre of mass in the CMJ 52.2±5.4 cm and SPJ 63.8 ±8.0 cm. Significant relationship were found between maximal power output in CMJ, SPJ performed on force plate and height of jump obtained during laboratory and coaching tests. In conclusion, height of jumps measured in coaching test significantly differ from the height of rise of the body’s centre of mass measured in jumps on force plate (laboratory tests). Significant relationship were found between maximal power output in CMJ, SPJ performed on force plate and height of jump obtained during laboratory and coaching tests. No relationship were found between the one’s grasp measured in jump of coaching test and the power output obtained in CMJ, SPJ (laboratory test).

The studies involved three boxers: age 18.1±0.4 years, body height 186.7±6.1 cm, weight 81.3±0.6 kg (Measurement I), 80.9±3.3 kg (Measurement II), 80.7±5.6 kg (Measurement III), training experience 3.5±1.8 years. Body weight did not change significantly during training season. Measurements of maximal punching force and reaction time was carried out on a boxing dynamometer. Each participants performed five punches of rear and lead hand (hook and straight punches) from a typical for himself boxing position and test of simulated boxing fight lasts 60 seconds. Three measurements were carried out: Measurement I – before first starting period, Measurement II – after first starting period, Measurement III – before second preparation period. The maximal straight punching forces were 1634.7±674.0 N for lead hand, and 2899.7±457.9 N for rear hand. The maximal hook punching forces were 2645.0±1122.4 N for lead hand, and 2820.7±766.5 N for rear hand. Significant differences were observed between lead and rear hands for straight (all measurements) and hook (Measurement III during the simulated boxing fight) punches. Force of the blow inflicted on the rear limb changed significantly between the first and third and the second and third measurement in the training season. In conclusion, in the analyzed training period occurred insignificant prolongation of reaction time, accompanied by a significant increase in force of the blow hit the rear limb during the test of simulated 60-seconds of the fight.

Correction of errors front crawl swimming technique of students of physical education and sport Peter Mandzak 1 , Blazej. Stankiewicz 2 1 Department of Physical Education and Sport, Faculty of Arts Matej Bel University, Slovenska republika 2 Faculty of Physical Education, Health and Tourism, Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz, Poland ABSTRACT The author in this paper deals with diagnosis of Students' Front Crawl Swimming Technique. The research group was formed by 101 freshers of the Department of Physical Education and Sport, FH UMB in Banska Bystrica. Their average age at the time of research was 20 years of age. We used the assessment technique based on Svozil and Gajda's (1997) rating scale to assess the front crawl swimming technique. Based on the results of output testing, we claim that the level of acquired swimming technique increased. Despite the errors, which were not removed completely, there was a percentage decrease in the number of errors in both groups. Systematic application of our corrective programme led to an important improvement in breathing technique. Nevertheless, some students still tilt their head backwards, despite having taken lessons aimed at the correction of such error. We also registered positive changes in the pull phase. Errors were minimised in both groups. As for the position of the trunk and the leg kick, positive changes without distinct anomalies in the technique were recorded. Drawing on these facts, we confirmed the hypothesis about the efficiency of the corrective programme, which has been integrated into the swimming courses to correct errors in the front crawl swimming technique. Key words: front Crawl Swimming Technique, Corrective swimming programme

Size of selected somatic parameters of physical education students at Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz the years 2006-2012

The work is to determine the size of the selected somatic indicators and some morphological features of fulltime students of physical education at Kazimierz Wielki University of Bydgoszcz in the years 2006-2012. All results are presented in tables and some of them as graphics. To characterize the type of somatic structure, the following indicators were calculated for men and women: BMI, WHR, AMC and Rohrer index. Also body fat (BF) and fat-free mass (FFM) were determined. It is worth noting that the surveyed students, both men and women, in addition to physical activity resulting from their studies (physical education), in many cases practise sport at the competitive or recreational level. This implies the desired body structure characterized by low fat, large musculature and sufficient height and could make a somatic homogeneity of the studied group

INFLUENCE OF THEORETICAL APPROACHES OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN SPORTS ON THE FORMATION OF THE MODERN SPORTS POLICY IN UKRAINE S. Lishchuk National University of Water Management and Nature Resources Use Summary. The article investigates the influence of theoretical approaches of public administration in sports on the formation of the modern sports policy in Ukraine. Research two models of public administration in sport: liberal model (or laissez-faire model), that provides for maximum freedom of self-regulation by the state government and sports organizations and minimize government interference in the affairs of the sport; an interventionist model, which provides for the active intervention of the state in the affairs of sports activities and sports organizations. It proved that Ukraine has an interventionist model. Given the task to the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine, it should establish a working group at the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine on the implementation of the learning process of the course devoted to the legal foundations of physical culture and sports as law students and students of universities of physical education and sport. Moreover Syllabus should vary with account available, depending on the direction of training, basic knowledge in the field of physical culture and sports and jurisprudence; spend work to promote information on legal foundations of physical culture and sports use to implement the media, organize conferences on legal issues in the field of physical culture and sports, pay attention to the development of textbooks on the subject, etc; create a system of training of lawyers with specialization in the field of physical culture and sports. Keywords: Physical Education and Sports, the mechanisms of state regulation of physical culture and sports in Ukraine, public policy in the development of physical culture and sports.

EFFECT OF RAS-BLOCKERS AND NO-CYCLE METABOLITES ON THE RENAL FUNCTIONS OF RATS EXPOSED TO THYROXINE INJECTIONS S. I. Dolomatov, T. P. Sataieva Crimea State Medical University Simferopol, Russian Federation Corresponding author: Sergei Dolomatov E-mail: path888d@yandex.ru Abstract Objective. Evaluating the role of RAS and NO-dependent pathogenic mechanisms of formation of renal dysfunction in disorders of the thyroid status. Methods. First 2 groups of experimental white male outbredrats was administered thyroxine (T4) in a dose of 50 g / 100 g per body weight injected intraperitoneally on 1% starch gel base once or during 7 days. In addition, rats were administered non-selective NO-synthase inhibitor Nω-NLA. Those rats were exposed to single administration of the combined T4 (intraperitoneally, 50mg/100g body weight in 24 hours before water loading) and Nω-NLA (intraperitoneally 1 mg / 100 g body weight 30 min before water loading). As a comparison we studied a group of animals received only an equivalent dose only or T4 Nω-NLA only 1 mg / 100 g body weight in 30 min before water loading. After 7-days. of T4 administration the same rats received water solution of losartan (10 mg / l) or water solution of captopril (20 mg / l) for 24 hours after the last administration of T4. Another group of rats was treated with T4 for 7 days and afterwards was administered L-arginine in a dose 2 mg / 100 g bw per day or water solution (20 mg / l) of sodium nitrite. Rats in the control group for 7 days. was administered intragastrically gel containing no T4. Kidney function was studied in 24h after administration of T4 in terms of water 5% loading on kidneys. Results. It was found out that administaration of RAS-blockers increases creatinine clearance value after either a single or prolonged administration of T4 in rats. However, decreased renal excretion of endogenous nitrates and protein as well as prevented retention of endogenous nitrite was registered in rats only after administration of losartan after 7 days of T4 administration. Prolonged administration of T4 to the rats was accompanied by weakened renal effects of NO and activated the arginine dependent pathway of NO synthesis into the nitrite reduction, evidenced by the increase of endogenous nitrite level in blood plasma of rats treated with T4 continuously along with no pronounced corrective effect of exogenous arginine in hyperthyroid animals and elevated creatinine clearance under the influence of exogenous sodium nitrite in the hyperthyroid animals. Conclusion. Discovered effects of RAS blockers allow us to recommend this pharmacological agents as an effective way to slow down the progression of renal dysfunction inthyroid pathlogy. Keywords: rat, hyperthyroidism, renal function, RAS- inhibitors, nitrites, nitrates.

Continuous recording of soil mite behaviour using an Internet Protocol video system

Behavioural studies on tiny animals require methods that are relatively inexpensive, can be easily monitored and provide high-quality data. Recently, digital tools such as Internet Protocol (IP) cameras and video surveillance systems have become less expensive, creating new possibilities for behavioural studies. The best system of observation from the researcher’s point of view works continuously without human assistance and records behavioural data for further multiple analyses. Here we describe the system used for studies on mesostigmatid soil mites in Department of Zoology, Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz.

Morphological Parameters of Physical Education Students in the Years 2006-2010

The body construction of an adult person depends on a variety of factors. First of all, it is determined genetically - at the moment of conception every human organism receives a set of an equal amount of chromosomes from the father and the mother with genes that convey instructions about the developmental features of the system. The human growth is not a uniform process. It is characterised by a great diversity in terms of qualitative and quantitative changes and the intensity level of the processes in time. Ontogenetic development of a man is an ordered system of some specific developmental changes leading to the formation of human beings adapted to living in particular conditions and able to extend the existence of mankind. The direction of these processes is determined by inherited factors, surrounding environment and so-called behaviourism, which can be described as the behaviour of an individual in particular conditions. The aim of this study was to determine the selected body parameters of 279 first-year students (179 men and 100 women) of physical education (stationary studies) at the Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz. The research of morphological characteristics was conducted in the period of 2006-2010 and its results were presented in tables. They document the changes in morphological construction.

The 2D:4D ratio versus features of body composition and body constitution in young women and men

Towards the end of the 19th century, a hypothesis was proposed of the dimorphic nature of the 2D:4D ratio. Differences in this ratio already develop in intrauterine life and result from different proportions and concentrations of sex hormones. High prenatal androgens and low prenatal estrogens cause a low, masculinizing, 2D:4D ratio. Numerous data from literature confirm that this ratio is connected with a number of traits associated with sex hormones. The research was carried out into a group of men (166) and women (217) including students of physiotherapy (139) of Collegium Medicum of the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, tourism and recreation (63) and physical education (121) of the Kazimierz Wielki University of Bydgoszcz, and competitive sportspeople (59) from the sports club Zawisza Bydgoszcz. The lengths of right fingers were measured by a sliding caliper (GPM, Swiss Made). The body structure was assessed by Rohrer’s index. The body composition was investigated with segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis (SBIA) using the Biospace Co. Ltd. In Body 3.0 apparatus. The study was made on the relationship between the digit ratio (2D:4D) and a number of selected features and indices of body composition and body constitution. A significant correlation was found between the 2D:4D ratio and the protein mass, bone mass, soft lean mass (SLM), lean body mass (LBM) and segmental lean body mass (except lower limbs) in the group of female subjects. In the group of male subjects, no significant correlation between the 2D:4D ratio and the examined traits and indices was found.
