Colic in horses very often induces changes in the coagulation system causing the development of disseminated intravascular clotting. It is promoted by blood concentration and an increase in exposition of coagulation activators with a simultaneous decrease in coagulation inhibitors activity, mainly antithrombin III. Progressing blood platelets aggregation supports production of microthromboses and plugging capillary vessels. The progression of this processes causes complications in basic disease and becomes the reason for therapeutic failure. Determination of coagulation system indexes such as the number of platelets, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombin time, concentration of fibrinogen and fibrinogen degradation products, and D-dimmer and antithrombin III contents enables diagnosis and facilitates appropriate therapy of colic in horses.

The article fi rst discusses the economic organisation of the Piast state; such toponyms as Konary and Kobylniki are given particular attention. The historical region of Kujawy has provided the starting point for further analysis. Historical sources were explored in search of the fi rst mentions of the villages in question. At the same time, attempts were made to correlate the location of the villages with the location of meadows and pastures suitable for grazing horses. Then, archaeological record from Kujawy confi rming the use of horses was analysed, notably fi nds of spurs and horseshoes. The paper discusses centres of princely rule (Brześć Kujawski and Kruszwica) that yielded evidence confi rming the use of horses. Equestrian elements have been also recorded at early medieval cemeteries; the article investigates selected excavated sites throughout the Piast domain, including Lutomiersk, Końskie, Pokrzywnica Wielka, Łączyn Stary, Korzybie Duże, Czersk, Daniłow Mały, Sowinki and Dziekanowice.

The study included 114 clinically healthy horses representing different groups: breeding horses (27), recreation horses (22), and sport horses (65). The group of sport horses consisted of racehorses (11), trotters (15), jumping horses (25), and driving horses (14). The peripheral blood samples collected three times: before exercise, immediately after exercise, and after 30-min rest were examined for the activity of oxygen metabolism of neutrophils using chemiluminescence (CL). The study demonstrated a temporary post-exercise intensification of free radical processes in sport horses. The intensity of this reaction depended on the intensity and duration of the exercise workload, which was confirmed by the changes in the heart rate and breathing. The analysis of the results of pre-exercise examination demonstrated clearly higher CL values of neutrophils in horses trained regularly and intensively than in animals of small physical activity. This result proves a positive influence of regular training on oxygen-dependent bactericidal activity of neutrophils.

The aim of this paper is to initiate nationwide research on trotters, in this case relations between conformation traits of their body and performance features. Material for the research was provided by 60 young trotters registered in the Danish (12) and German (48) herd books of the analysed breeds. The horses were prepared in automn 2004 for taking part in races. Trotters were also subject to 23 zoometric measurements, based on which 15 indices of their body conformation were worked out. Additionally, the evaluation of movement capacity was accomplished, including 1 – step length, its frequency as well as index and speed movement velocityof the analysed horses. Trot was repeated 3 times (starting with the slowest to the fastest one) on a specially marked part of racetrack. The evaluation of relations between measurements and indices of body conformation of the analysed trotters and their movement capacity parameters indicated the following suggestions: both the range and number of statistically significant dependencies between biometric features of trotters and their movement capacity point to the fact that croup conformation traits and height of individual parts of young growing trotters affect (positively or negatively) their movement capacity in the initial training process, the above tendencies are proved by the level of dependencies of body conformation with movement capacity parameters including a great number of statistically significant relations concerning proportions in the croup conformation (indices “shoulder part length”, “index of joint croup length”), conformation traits of shoulder belt (“shoulder part length” and “selected parts of forelimb”) as well as the rate of reconformation and chest depth, the carried out research is of introductory character but the range of revealed dependencies fully justify its continuation for young growing trotters as well as trained in subsequent stages of their racing career.

The subjects were 8 clinically healthy Polish Primitive Horses at 2-9 years of age. The horses were given E.coli LPS four times, in a dose of 0.1 μg/kg.b.w.; 3 times at 24 hour intervals (LPS-1 , LPS-2, LPS-3 ), and one week after the last infusion (LPS-4). The result analysis indicated that the applied endotoxin dose caused development of tolerance mechanisms related to the platelet count. This phenomenon did not concern changes in fibrinogen concentration. The relatively high sensitivity of horses to LPS may be connected with short duration of endotoxin tolerance in this species.

In the opinion of the author of this article, Żeromski, showing a tragic picture of the January Uprising in Ravens and Crows Will Peck Us to Pieces, runs very skillfully polemic with the views of Stanislaw Tarnowski, both political and social, which are summarized in the hearing From the experiences and reflections, as well as the aesthetic-literary ones, expressed among other things in the works devoted to Arthur Grottger, Polish romantics or in reviews of Sienkiewicz’s historical novels. Irydion and Konrad Wallenrod play a special role in the intricate network of intertextual references presenting in Żeromski’s story. Count Stanislaw Tarnowski spoke many times about these literary works, occupying a unique position in the minds of Poles living in the 19th century. His writings designate the area of controversy, which is the foundation of imaginative and ideological construction of Żeromski’s story Ravens and Crows Will Peck Us to Pieces.

Analysis included 232 horses starting in the eventing competition of the highest class C in Poland in 2004–2008. In total, 711 starts were analysed allowing for horse breed, ancestor breed (sire and dam), and horse sex and age. The Polish noble half-bred horses had the largest frequency, achieving the best results in all tests, i.e. dressage, cross-country and show jumping. Aspecialisation trend in the eventing, particularly in cross-country test, was observed in case of half-bred Anglo-Arabian horses. The worst results obtained theWielkopolski horses and those with the Wielkopolski horse ancestry. The best results were achieved by the offspring of Anglo- -Arabian and the Małopolski stallions and noble half-bred mares.

Analizą objęto 232 konie startujące w konkurencji wszechstronnego konkursu konia wierzchowego najwyższej klasy „C” w latach 2004–2008. Przeanalizowano 711 startów, uwzględniając rasę konia, rasę przodków (ojciec, matka), płeć oraz wiek konia. Największą frekwencję miały konie rasy polski koń szlachetny półkrwi, osiągając najlepsze wyniki we wszystkich próbach – ujeżdżeniu, krosie i skokach. Tendencję w specjalizacji w wkkw, zwłaszcza do próby terenowej, zauważono w przypadku koni rasy półkrwi angloarabskiej. Najgorsze rezultaty miały konie rasy wielkopolskiej i po przodkach wielkopolskich. Najlepsze wyniki osiągnęło potomstwo ogierów angloarabskich i małopolskich oraz matek szlachetnych półkrwi.

The bone mineral density (BMD) and the bone mineral content (BMC) in the bone tissue of the bilateral first phalanges of horses’ thoracic limbs were analysed. The research material consisted of isolated pastern bones derived from 22 horses. The research was conducted with the use of a Norland model Excell Plus densitometer (Fort Atkinson WI, USA), using affinited beam X-ray technology and an animal research programme (Research Scan, 3.9.6. version) at the following parameters: scanning resolution of 1.5 x 1.5 mm, scanning speed 60 mm/s. The differences between BMC and BMD values in bilateral first phalanges in the thoracic limbs in horses were found to be nonsignificant. It also appeared that there are statistically significant positive correlations between values of the left and right bone of both analysed variables.

The article introduces Catherine Malabou’s concept of plasticity and Deleuze and Guattari’s theory of becoming to research on the infamous, so-called Diary of Vaslav Nijinsky, the legendary dancer and choreographer of Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes. In this document Nijinsky describes, among others, the walks he presumably took around St. Moritz in Switzerland in 1918-1919. The text was written when Nijinsky started developing symptoms of mental illness eventually diagnosed as schizophrenia. Yet in the article Nijinsky’s descriptions of walks are treated not as medical symptoms but as kinetographies of universal plasticity, in this case radically transforming the dancer’s identity or, better, disidentifying him as a site of becoming. It is the access that Nijinsky’s notebooks grant to a specific plane of kinetic experience which makes them of interest to the studies of human mobility, including dance. By deconstructing the peculiar character of plasticity the traces of which Nijinsky’s writing contains the article advances further the project of cultural kinesiology seen as vital component of performing arts theory and cultural analysis in general and situated on the crossing of philosophy and performance studies.

The studies were conducted in a forest settlement in Roztocze National Park (eastern Poland). The aim of the study was to evaluate the vegetation of two pastures depending on the type of use in the context of grassland protection, identify the trends of species composition changes, and analyse the yield and nutritional value of the biomass in the context of animal welfare. The studies were conducted on permanent grasslands varying in terms of fertility and location. Both sites were pastures where native breeds of livestock (Polish Lowland sheep of the Uhrusk and Polish Konik) were grazing. The fertile pasture was represented by the developing Lolio-Cynosuretum association, while the poor dry pasture – by a community with Common Bent (Agrostis capillaris L.) and a community with Mouse-Ear Hawkweed (Hieracium pilosella L.). The greatest changes over time were observed in the mowed site in the fertile pasture (increased share of tall grasses) and in the abandoned poor dry pasture (increased share of herbs and weeds). Livestock grazing conducted from 2010 influenced the stabilisation of the species composition. Tree and shrub seedlings were systematically eaten by livestock, which evidences a positive impact of grazing on the preservation of permanent grasslands in Roztocze National Park where forest ecosystems predominate. The assessment of the species composition and yielding indicated that the fertile pasture was characterised by good value while the poor pasture – low or sufficient value. In terms of nutrient yield and content, these pastures were poor or very poor, and their nutritive potential was largely dependent on the meteorological conditions. While the livestock density in the pastures, ranging from 1.1 to 1.5 LSU ha–1 in the years under study, was appropriate, grazing should be limited in the summer months, particularly in periods of drought, by reducing the number of animals or by additional feeding to ensure their welfare.
