Objectives: In healthy people, the vibrotactile perception threshold (VPT) at fingertips depends on a given measurement method and on individual characteristics such as age, gender and finger skin temperature. The aim of the study was to compare the VPT values in 2 groups of healthy subjects with different finger skin temperature. Materials and Methods: The study group comprised 56 males and 76 females, who formed pairs matched with respect to age, gender and body mass index (BMI) but differing in terms of finger skin temperature at pre-launch testing. The finger skin temperature of less than 29°C indicated the subjects with "cold hands" and that of more than 29°C, the subjects with "warm hands". The measuring system made use of P8 pallesthesiometer (EMSON-MAT, Poland) and the measurement procedure was in compliance with the ISO 13091-1:2001 standard. VPT measurements were performed for the index, middle and ring fingers of both hands at the frequencies of 4 Hz, 25 Hz, 31.5 Hz, 63 Hz, 125 Hz and 250 Hz. Results: The findings of the study revealed that the mean VPTs among the subjects with "cold hands" were significantly higher than the corresponding values among the subjects with "warm hands". Conclusions: The type of individual peripheral thermoregulation should be considered when assessing the VPT and determining its reference values.

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine body image and body satisfaction in Polish adult men involved in resistance training and to investigate their relationships with objective anthropometric and training characteristics. Methods. The study included 176 males aged 18-31 years with 1-14 years resistance training experience. The Figure Rating Scale, Body Satisfaction Scale and a self-designed questionnaire were administered. Results. Approximately 62% of the participants would like to be more muscular, only 29% accepted their appearance and 9% would like to be less muscular. The body selected as the personal ideal (M = 5.34) was less muscular than the body considered by the participants to be ideal by other men (normative body; M = 6.07) and was more muscular than the body thought to be most attractive to women (M = 5.10). Actual and ideal body muscularity correlated positively with age and body mass, height and BMI. Dissatisfaction with trunk and motor characteristics correlated positively with ideal body and the body considered most attractive to women as well as with the discrepancy indices between the above factors and the actual body. Conclusions. Men regularly involved in resistance training were found to strive for a muscular physique. The normative body, the physique believed to be desired by other men, was more muscular than what was considered preferential to women. However, the latter constitutes a stronger determinant of the level of body satisfaction in men engaged in resistance training.

Despite access to an array of different contraceptive measures, overpopulation persists in being a major public health concern. Vasectomy is a safe, simple, cost-effective outpatient technique for male sterilization performed under local anesthesia. Irrespective of the multiple benefits associated with vasectomy, acceptance rates among clients have been extremely poor in different settings. To counter this lack, the following have been advocated by program managers: 1) the implementation of multiple measures, such as using mass media to undo the myths and misconceptions associated with vasectomy; 2) the active involvement of men in decision-making pertaining to matters of reproductive health and family planning; 3) the engagement of both spouses in assisting the couple to take an informed decision; 4) the provision of manpower with adequate training regarding procedure and men’s reproductive health needs; 5) the involvement of different stakeholders; and 6) the integration of all reproductive health and family planning services under one roof. To conclude, vasectomy is the most dependable and cost-effective approach of contraception for couples who have completed their family.

Introduction. Research on the literature shows different and sometimes contradictory data about the physical activities of women and men. Aim. The goal of the research study is to compare selected aspects of physical activity in women and men. Material and methods. 100 men and 100 women were selected and tested using the “pairing method” and examined in terms of four variables: place of residence, education, marital status and age. A specially prepared survey questionnaire was used. Results. Men and women differ in terms of certain aspects of physical activity (especially its types), while their motivations and limitations only slightly differ. Conclusions. Women significantly more often prefer walking as a physical activity, while men prefer running, swimming, and using the weight room and gym for team sports. On working days, women have significantly less free time than men. The only motivating factor for physical activity that differentiates both groups is the “beauty” motif that is more often present in women. The groups do not differ in terms of obstacles keeping them from undertaking physical activity, although women more often reported a lack of time.

Zarządzanie sobą wyraża się w czterech obszarach. Są to: znajomość siebie, zarządzanie emocjami, zarządzanie stresem i zarządzanie czasem. Utrzymanie tych obszarów pod kontrolą pozwala lepiej organizować pracę i życie prywatne, łatwiej znosić okresowe trudności oraz lepiej wykorzystać czas. Kiedy ktoś chce kierować innymi, najpierw musi nauczyć się kierować sobą.

Background: The aim of the study was to compare the mobility of the thoracic-lumbar segment of the spine and the mobility of its separate segments - the thoracic and lumbar ones in the saggital and transverse plane among young men divided into three groups that differ in the current commitment to physical activity.Material/Methods: 135 young men - students of Physical Education Faculty and of Tourism and Recreation Faculty at the Academy of Physical Education and Sport in Gdansk as well as students from the University of Gdansk aged 21-22 who did not participate actively in any sports discipline were involved in the study. In the saggital plane in the range of bending the torso forwards the flexibility of the thoracic-lumbar segment of the spine was tested according to Wolański's assumptions, the flexibility of the thoracic segment of the spine with Otto and Wurm's test and the lumbar segment of the spine with Schober's test. In the transverse plane in the range of torso twist to the right and to the left the mobility of the thoracic-lumbar segment of the spine and the lumbar segment were examined with the usage of Pavelek's tests.Results: In the saggital plane of the body among men from individual groups, the mobility of the thoracic-lumbar and lumbar segments of the spine during bend forwards was in the norm and above it, whereas the mobility of the thoracic segment of the spine was above the norm. In the transverse plane the range of the spine movement in the thoracic-lumbar and the lumbar spine to the right and left was similar among all the tested men, whereas the range of the thoracic-lumbar segment movement was above and of the lumbar segment below the norm. The students from Physical Education Faculty were characterised as having the highest flexibility of the thoracic-lumbar segment of the spine in the saggital plane in comparison with other students' flexibility. Against the background of the other groups the students of Tourism and Recreation Faculty demonstrated the highest mobility of the lumbar spine in the saggital plane. The stated differences were statistically significant.Conclusions: Higher frequency of participation in physical exercises and their longer duration among the students of Physical Education (PE) in comparison with the other groups did not influence significantly the range of their spine mobility apart from the range of bend forwards of the whole thoracic-lumbar segment of the spine in the saggital plane.

This article locates itself within the field of social studies with a special focus on the borderline of sociology and psychology. It attempts to analyze the patterns of social behavior of men in psychotherapy and answer the question as to what extent the problems affecting the mental health of men reflect certain constructions of gender that function in modern society. The empirical basis of the article is data obtained during in-depth interviews with psychotherapists. This data was analyzed in accordance with the rules of the Grounded Theory Method. The research shows that gender is a category commonly used in summaries and interpretations of experiences of individuals. The analysis of the research material makes it possible to identify the most important problems of mental health of men, and to deduce directions and mechanisms of changes in men gender schemes in contemporary society. On the basis of the results of the study recommendations for further research in this field and for therapeutic work with men have been formulated.

Study aim: To determine and compare the muscle strength profile and muscle strength symmetry of kayakers and canoeists. Material and methods: A total of 36 male participants participated in the study, including 25 kayakers and 9 canoeists. Measurements of maximum muscle torque were taken under static conditions for 10 muscle groups: flexors and extensors of the elbow, shoulder, knee, hip, and trunk. Muscle torque was allometrically scaled by body mass. To determine the muscle strength profiles of athletes in both disciplines, residual analysis was used. Two methods were utilized to assess and compare the muscle strength symmetry between left and right limbs. The first one is known as intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The second one is an asymmetry coefficient proposed by authors. Results: The study showed that kayakers obtained lower rates of asymmetry indicators than canoeists in most muscle groups. An overall asymmetry coefficient amounted to 0.77 ± 0.20 and 0.99 ± 0.31 (p < 0.05) for kayakers and canoeists, respectively. Moreover, it was observed that the kayakers and canoeists had similar strength profile. The symmetry assessment of maximum muscle torque corresponds to the characteristics of the studied disciplines. Conclusions: The intraclass correlation coefficient is recommended as a measure of strength symmetry for muscle groups comparisons. The asymmetry coefficient is recommended for comparison of individuals.

Objective: Deeper understanding of depression amongst men in the gender context in the current research is missing (Emslie, Ridge, Hunt, 2006; Oliffe et al., 2010; Smith, 1999). This study aims to put the male experience of depression into gender framework, using gender as an analytical tool for better understanding of depression in men both in a social and cultural frame as well as a subjective experience. Method: Nine semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with men in Slovakia who are having or had a direct experience with depression. Gender was used as an analytical tool in order to contextualize the experiences of men with depression in a social context and power relations. Results: The research identified various gender aspects - from power, the influence of traditional male roles, concealing emotions, distancing yourself from yourself to 8 identified positive aspects of depression: awareness of their own vulnerability, realization that different emotions are part of the life, higher sensitivity and empathy towards others, social responsibility in raising awareness about depression, closer contact with oneself, new - adult identity, courage to seek help and courage to be vulnerable and sensitive. The research also indicates the presence of intersectionality, offers the possibility of applying research findings to practice, and highlights the need to pay closer attention to gender aspects when examining depression as well as for direct work with men who suffer from depression. Conclusion: Our findings recommend paying closer attention to gender aspects while examining depression as well as for direct work with men who suffer from depression.

The South Korean film industry represents a masculine-privileged gender regime that over the last few decades has shown a newfound strength both at home and abroad. However, challenging this masculine privilege are a growing number of important though unheralded female writer–directors operating in both the independent and commercial sectors of the industry. In this article, we present a case study that explores the work of five of these female writer–directors within this context. We begin by asking two key questions: can female writer–directors find a voice within the Korean film industry that challenges the traditional gender stereotypes both within the industry and in the wider Korean culture? How can the Korean experience connect to the Western experience? The first methodological step in explicating the case study is the setting out of a particularly Western theoretical approach that emphasises the idea that masculine privilege exists hegemonically within the so-called “hegemony of men.” We then go on to highlight specific elements in the work of these female writer–directors that expose aspects of both challenge and constraint within the hegemony of men. We conclude that although the work of these female writer–directors indeed challenges tradition and gendered stereotypes sustained within the hegemony of men, such challenges represent moments of reformism rather than revolutionary systematic change.

Background: Optimal dose of physical activity in the prevention of atherosclerosis remains unclear. The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) on selected indices of atherosclerosis in the working-age population of men. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in a cohort of asymptomatic men participating in follow-up examinations in the Healthy Men Clinic, Medical University of Lodz. Of the 132 men who responded to the invitation to participate in this study, 101 men were eligible for the non-invasive assessment of subclinical atherosclerosis indices. Self-reported PA was assessed by interviewer-administered validated questionnaires. During the latest follow-up subclinical atherosclerosis was measured by assessing the coronary artery calcification (CAC), the carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and the reactive hyperemia index (RHI) using peripheral arterial tonometry (EndoPAT2000). Results: Preliminary results have been elaborated in the group of 60 men (mean age: 61.3±8.85 years). The participants were predominantly white collar workers with low occupational LTPA. The cohort was divided into 3 groups according to the LTPA level. Both dose and energy expenditure of recreational PA significantly correlated with CA, IMT and RHI in the whole cohort. The majority of men maintained their baseline PA throughout the observation period. Men with the highest LTPA level had significantly lower mean CAC, IMT (p < 0.01), and significantly higher mean RHI (p < 0.05) compared to the least active group. On final examination men with high PA had also the most favorable cardiovascular profile. Conclusions: The preliminary results indicate the protective effect of high LTPA level in the context of subclinical atherosclerosis in men. Med Pr 2013;64(6):785–795

Wprowadzenie: Optymalna dawka wysiłku fizycznego w profilaktyce miażdżycy jest przedmiotem badań. Celem analizy jest ocena zależności między wieloletnim poziomem aktywności fizycznej a wybranymi wskaźnikami subklinicznej miażdżycy w grupie aktywnych zawodowo mężczyzn. Materiał i metody: Do udziału w projekcie zaproszono wieloletnich podopiecznych Poradni Zdrowego Człowieka Uniwersytetu Medycznego w Łodzi bez objawów chorób układu krążenia. U wszystkich uczestników przeprowadzano wywiad, przedmiotowe badanie lekarskie i badania dodatkowe. Poziom AF był oceniany za pomocą standaryzowanych kwestionariuszy. Spośród 132 mężczyzn, którzy odpowiedzieli na zaproszenie, do nieinwazyjnej oceny wskaźników subklinicznej miażdżycy zakwalifikowano 101 osób. Przeprowadzono ocenę grubości kompleksu intima-media tętnic szyjnych (IMT), wskaźnika uwapnienia naczyń wieńcowych (CAC) i wskaźnika reaktywnego przekrwienia (RHI) metodą endoPAT 2000. Wyniki: Wyniki wstępne opracowano w grupie 60 mężczyzn w wieku 61,3±8,8 lat. Badani najczęściej deklarowali małą aktywność fizyczną, związaną z pracą zawodową. Badaną kohortę podzielono na 3 grupy w zależności od wyjściowego poziomu rekreacyjnej aktywności fizycznej (leisure-time physical activity - LTPA). Większość badanych utrzymała wyjściowy poziom LTPA trakcie całej obserwacji. W ostatnim badaniu kontrolnym grupa o najwyższym poziomie LTPA charakteryzowała się najkorzystniejszym profilem ryzyka sercowo-naczyniowego. Zarówno dawka AF, jak i wydatek energetyczny istotnie korelowały z CAC, IMT oraz RHI. W grupie o wysokim poziomie LTPA odnotowano istotnie niższy średni wskaźnik CAC, IMT (p < 0,01) oraz istotnie wyższy średni RHI (p < 0,05) w porównaniu z grupą o najmniejszym wydatku energetycznym. Wnioski: Analiza wstępna wskazuje na protekcyjny efekt wieloletniego wysokiego poziomu LTPA w zakresie występowania subklinicznej miażdżycy u mężczyzn. Med. Pr. 2013;64(6):785–795

The human foot is an important supporting element and a driving mechanism and therefore contributes to the general fitness of the whole body. A review of studies and researches concerning the built and functions of the foot in people of all ages and in various environments allows one to state that the research results do not provide clear answer to the question which morphological characteristics are of primary significance for the longitudinal foot arch evaluated by means of the Clarke’s angle. The aim of the study was to evaluated the correlations between the longitudinal arch of the foot and chosen morphological characteristics in academic students. A cross-sectional study was carried out in a group of 130 academic students aged 20-28 randomly selected from The University of Rzeszow and Beskidy Higher School of Skills in Żywiec. The chosen morphological characteristics were examined. The longitudinal arch was evaluated by means of Clark’s angle (CL), Sztriter-Godunow index (KY), index of the depth of the longitudinal arch of the foot (Wgwp) and Chippaux-Smirak (CSI) index. The prints of the feet were obtained by means of the non-stain technique invented by Ślężyński. In order to evaluate the correlations between the longitudinal arch of the foot and the chosen morphological characteristics the Pearson’s linear correlation was employed. Slight correlations between the longitudinal arch of foot and the chosen morphological characteristics did not reach the lowest anticipated level of statistical significance. The longitudinal arch in the examined men shows no correlations with the chosen morphological characteristics.

Christian feminist theory faces many stresses, some due directly to the apparent nature of Christianity and its seeming patriarchy. But feminism can also be thought inherent in Christianity. All people are made in God’s image. Christians should view women and men as equals, just as they should see people of all races as equals. The basic question discussed, within a biblical and philosophical framework, is if it possible for Christian feminist theory to hold that there is an essence to being a woman, being a man or being human all the while recognizing vast differences among women, among men and among human persons? I propose a beginning solution to this problem.

This paper deals with issues of unemployment on the phenomenological and conceptual levels, in terms of the chain of relations ‘bread – work – employment’. It includes an elementary survey of approaches and works dealing with the phenomenon of unemployment in the last twenty years in the Czech Republic. The paper describes historical and current data, the differences in the position of men and women on the labour market, and the function of this position in terms of social (gender) roles. On this basis the paper establishes the hypothesis that job loss and unemployment cause greater stress to men than to women. The purpose of the study is to prepare a conceptual framework for empirical research which will verify this hypothesis.

Self-rated health is an important measure of health status and outcomes and plays a significant role in the quality of life. The main purpose of the study was to estimate selected demographic and socio-economic factors associated with perceived health status among middle-aged Polish people. The sample being studied consisted of 5,776 women and 2,191 men aged 35-65 years, participants of two nation-wide cross-sectional surveys: the survey on middle-aged women’s health and quality of life (WOMID) and the survey on men’s health and quality of life, both conducted in 2000-2004. Participants were administered a gender-specific questionnaire on demographic, socio-economic status, lifestyle behaviours and self-rated health. The subjectively evaluated health status was then correlated with sex, age, marital status, place of residence, education level, financial situation, types of leisure time and the tobacco use. Data were processed using uni- and multivariate statistical procedures including the logistic regression models LOGITs and multiple correspondence analysis (MCA). It was found that the perceived health status was associated with women’s and men’s age, and in women with their menopausal status. Women were likely to evaluate their health significantly worse than men. It was found that marital status, educational attainment and financial well-off were the factors significantly associated with perceived health status in both women and men. In concluding remarks it should be stated that the health perception of women and men in mid-life is significantly related to their socio-economic status.

Background. The aim of this study was to identify the level of physical activity of members of Independent Cultural Centers (ICCs) operating in Poland. The choice of this group was dictated by the desire to identify unconventional initiatives (including various types of physical activities) that differentiate the group from previously researched socio-professional groups. Material and methods. The study included participants from all ICCs in Poland, represented by 38 women and 66 men aged 19 to 46 years. To assess their level of physical activity, the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ short) was used. Results. For both sexes, physical activity at intensity levels of vigorous (VPA), moderate (MPA), light (walking) (LPA), as well as the total physical activity (TPA) of the subjects, were measured. Among men, weekly VPA energy expenditure was 1281.2 MET-min/week (SD = 763.6) and among women 1162.7 MET-min/wk. (SD = 644.6). For MPA, analysis of the results showed an energy expenditure of 918.8 MET-min/week (SD = 650.6) in women and 772.3 MET-min/week (SD = 455.5) in men. Weekly LPA energy expenditure was 1342 MET-min/ week in men (SD = 827.2) and 1341.3 MET-min/week in women (SD = 823.6). Conclusions. Respondents from the ICCs constituted a group characterized by positive physical activity scores. Women had higher results compared to men in the VPA, MPA and TPA analyses, although these differences were not statistically significant. The respondents’ results were also more favorable in relation to groups of students and members of other Polish associations and non-governmental organizations.

Wprowadzenie. Celem badań było rozpoznanie poziomu aktywności fizycznej członków Niezależnych Centrów Kultury (NCK) funkcjonujących na terenie Polski. Wybór tej grupy podyktowany był chęcią podjęcia próby rozpoznania nieszablonowych inicjatyw (w tym zajęć ruchowych), różniących ją od dotychczas badanych grup społeczno-zawodowych. Materiał i metody. W badaniu uwzględniono uczestników wszystkich aktywnie działających NCK na terenie Polski, reprezentowanych przez 38 kobiet i 66 mężczyzn w wieku od 19 do 46 lat. Do oceny poziomu aktywności fizycznej badanych, wykorzystano krótką wersję Międzynarodowego Kwestionariusza Aktywności Fizycznej (IPAQ short). Wyniki. Rozpoznano aktywność fizyczną badanych obojga płci na poziomie intensywności wysokiej (VPA), umiarkowanej (MPA), niskiej (chodzenie) (LPA) oraz całkowitą aktywność fizyczną (TPA) badanych. Wśród mężczyzn tygodniowy wydatek energetyczny VPA wynosił 1281,2 MET-min/tydz. (SD = 763,6), wśród kobiet 1162,7 MET-min/tydz. (SD = 644,6). Wprzypadku MPA analiza wyników wykazała wydatek energetyczny na poziomie 918,8 METmin/tydz. (SD = 650,6) u kobiet i 772,3 MET-min/tydz. (SD = 455,5) u mężczyzn. Tygodniowy wydatek energetyczny LPA wynosił 1342 MET-min/tydz. u mężczyzn (SD = 827,2) i 1341,3 MET-min/tydz. u kobiet (SD = 823,6). Wnioski. Respondenci z NCK byli grupą charakteryzującą się korzystnymi wynikami aktywności fizycznej. Kobiety uzyskały rezultaty wyższe w porównaniu do mężczyzn w analizach VPA, MPA oraz TPA choć nie były to różnice statystycznie istotne. Wyniki respondentów były także korzystniejsze, w odniesieniu do grup studentów oraz członków innych polskich stowarzyszeń i organizacji pozarządowych.
