The text raises the question of movement as a crucial category in the process of a child’s literary reception. The article reflects on the kinetic aspects of a text and a reader as well as on the perspective of a child’s subjective reception as dependent on personal predispositions of a child‑recipient. The author is interested in the intersections of the components of a literary work and the capabilities of a child‑recipient, that is, in the phenomenon called “reader response.” Referring to achievements of developmental psychology, the researcher introduces the figure of a child reader. Next, on the example of Jan Brzechwa’s poem “Stonoga,” she presents its mobility in language, pointing to the existence of “dynamic images,” created in a recipient’s imagination. In this way, she indicates the kinesthetic value of children’s literature.

Physical education is an area in which most professionals focus only on the body and its needs. Most PE teachers do not believe that having an understanding of philosophy is important in order to be a good teacher. One might ask why the physical educators think this. Looking at the history of philosophy we might find the answer within philosophy itself. Physical education is an unquestionable part of the school curriculum, but it does not have the same value as other subjects. The importance of PE is underestimated as school administrators stress the importance of academic subjects. The reason why physical education is so strongly separated from academic disciplines is because of its roots in ancient Greek times, when the soul was separated from the body. Medieval scholars stressed the importance of soul and cursed body as the nest of sins. From then on we have had dualism, a term which is widely adopted by western society. Dualism is so deep in us that we do not realize its impact any more. Other strong educational influence came from great thinkers such as: Comenius (1592-1670), Rousseau (1712-1778) and Dewey (1859-1952). Particularly Dewey's influence on American education, society, psychology, philosophy and way of life is significant. An importance of the experience is valued by Pragmatism. Pragmatists believe that the curriculum should be focused on the child and not on facts, they remind us about the role of education in society, and about the realization of the deep roots of division of our bodily and mental functions. The opportunities offered by the pragmatist's approach to education can help us to improve U.S. education, particularly physical education, and thus to use this to improve the state of American society.

Purpose. Our study aimed at assessing the effects of introducing a modified physical educational program that uses “eduball” educational balls during exercise, play-time and games on the physical fitness of first-grade primary school students. In addition, the study also took under consideration whether any noted changes depended on where the students lived, i.e., in an urban or rural environment. Methods. A total of 127 first-grade students were selected to participate in the pedagogical experiment, with 48 students from a primary school in an urban environment and 79 students from two primary schools located in rural villages. The physical fitness levels of the children were assessed by using selected batteries from the International Physical Fitness Test before and after implementing the “eduball” physical education program. Results. The results found that physical fitness levels were not affected by the use of the “eduball” educational ball, regardless of the environment. However, the physical fitness results of both the boys and girls in the rural experimental group may confirm that the activities that used the educational balls, which emphasize running, can have an impact on the motor development of children’s speed and agility skills. Conclusions. The boys from the urban experimental and urban control groups in both tests achieved better results than their peers from rural areas. However, this may be more strongly related to the overall higher physical fitness levels of the boys from an urban environment (as was found in the first test), rather than their place of residence or their schools’ sports facilities, which were found to be comparable. In the groups of girls, a somewhat different trend was observed, with girls from the urban environment performing better than girls from rural areas among the analyzed fitness variables in the first test, but with the differences leveling out by the second test.

Precise measurements of rapid eye movements (saccades) are becoming more widespread. Because is important to answer the question whether how is a measurement error. This paper presents the measurement of about 3000 saccades in one person. It was performed in 14 times the same set of tests. For each of the 14 studies calculated mean and standard deviations of each parameter of the dynamics of eyeball movement, i.e. duration, peak velocity, average velocity, slope, sharpness, Q, and amplitude. These parameters were calculated depending on the amplitude, the type of the task and direction of eyeballs movement (left or right). The results show that the saccadic parameters are a good indicator to assess psychophysical functions.

The article reveals the specific features of nomadism on the basis of an analysis of the work of poststructuralists, social philosophers. These include the increase in the speeds and frequency of movements of material and virtual objects; blurring the line between Home and work due to the proliferation of the Internet; short duration and simulative interpersonal contacts; a change in the topology of a social space designed according to the principles of a smooth and rhizome space in metropolis, which leads to a nonstop movement. It has been established that in Russian reality manifestations of nomadism can be found in the design and use of spaces of large cities, in the motorization of the population, the development of international and domestic tourism, as well as the emergence of the phenomenon of digital nomads.
The subject of the article is a presentation of selected works of the contemporary artist against the background of the travel motif. Różycki describes himself as a peripatetic, and transfers that feature to the subjects of his texts. The theme of the journey is one of the most important themes of Różycki's works, manifesting not only in physical wandering, but also in mental travel. This sketch presents selected works in the context of a journey to many geographical spaces and as memorable treks seeking to get to know their own identity. An important element is the presentation of the context of family memories, focusing on the theme of migration from the Kresy Wschodnie to Upper Silesia (Opole). The movement in Różycki's works presents the need for contemporary man to move as a way to determine his own identity.

The object of the article is to present changes that took effect after 1989 in Kashubia and its society in the sphere of identity, institutions, policy and adopted legal regulations. Analysis focuses on the institutional dimension (changes in the Kashubian movement, its pluralization, organizational development, access to new spheres of activity) and the identity of the group. Special attention is drawn to the deep changes introduced in education, mass media and scholarship. In the light of conducted research the Kashubian community appears to be a close-knit group, immune to assimilation processes, with a strong sense of distinction, but at the same time in its vast majority attached to the Polish national identity and with a definite self-image (the main characteristics of this autostereotype include: piety, diligence, devotion to one’s land, perseverance even up to the point of obstinacy, patriotism); the group also has quite a numerous elite.
Traditional (e.g., constructivist) accounts of knowledge ground its origin in the intentional construction on the part of the learner. Such accounts are blind to the fact that learners, by the fact that they do not know the knowledge to be learned, cannot orient toward it as an object to be constructed. In this study, I provide a phenomenological account of the naissance (birth) of knowledge, two words that both have their etymological origin in the same, homonymic Proto-Indo-European syllable ĝen-, ĝenә-, ĝnē-, ĝnō-. Accordingly, the things of the world and the bodily movements they shape, following Merleau-Ponty (1964), are pregnant with new knowledge that cannot foresee itself, and that no existing knowledge can anticipate. I draw on a study of learning in a second-grade mathematics classroom, where children (6-7 years) learned geometry by classifying and modeling 3-dimensional objects. The data clearly show that the children did not foresee, and therefore did not intentionally construct, the knowledge that emerged from the movements of their hands, arms, and bodies that comply with the forms of things. Implications are drawn for classroom instruction
The article proposes a reconstruction of the basic assumptions of the concept of movement introduced by Deleuze and Guattari in A Thousand plateaus. The reconstruction, based on the strategy of a close reading, distinguishes three basic elements describing the absolute movement of war machine: a contingent change of direction dictated by a factual necessity, free action and a creative act. The context of reflection on the movement of a war machine is the question of its role in developing urbanity. The article puts forward the thesis that the city and its culture is the effect of a productive tension between the smooth and striated space, the duration of which depends on maintaining difference which divide them.
Background: The paper focuses on the problem of the effect of dance as a part of movement activities on human emotions and their experiencing in students. The movement activity has a positive impact not only on physical health of a human being, but also on his mental health. Movement not only serves to increase physical fitness in healthy subjects, physical activities suitably chosen can be applied in an effective way in with weakened organ systems. The movement is nowadays considered a suitable tool to eliminate excessive stress. Research results: The study summarises our research results of positive effect of dance on experiencing emotions of students that were verified and supported by medical practice that claims positive effect of movement on mental health of an individual. Our research results indicate that respondents from dance group experienced more positive emotions than the respondents from movement group. A statistically significant difference was found at the level of significance (p = 0.0425) in the respondents from dance group (Me = 16). Their frequency of experiencing positive emotions is statistically higher than in the respondents from movement group (Me = 13).
The aim of the considerations presented in this paper is to determine the specificity of movement in contemporary dance. This specificity is considered at three levels: as the relationship of body parts to each other, as the relation of the body and part of it to the stage space, and as the relation of the body and parts of it to the qualitative parameters of movement such as speed, tension and size. The research data consist of the descriptions of dance performances, which are published in printed or electronic form during the organization of conferences, meetings and dance theatre festivals.
Polska Partia Socjalistyczna, called “reborn” by its supporters, and “licensed” or “false” by its antagonists, was created on 10th–11th September 1944, during a socialists’ conference held in Lublin (so-called 15th Congress of the PSP). The power elite in the party was made up of 57 people in total. It was a circle dominated by well educated men, mostly young and middle-aged, most of whom had been bound up with the party since the 1920s and 30s. On average, every second one of them was in the occupied country between 1939 and 1945, and only every eighth in the Soviet Union. Despite this, one should not underestimate the influence of the so-called “natives” in the PSP elite, since they were functioning within two, ideologically different, streants of Polish socialism. That was why they found it relatively easy to sever links with their socialist past and made their way into the ranks of the newly created Communist authorities.

Twenty-four dance couples performing at the 2011 IDSF (International DanceSport Federation) International Slovenia Open were divided into two groups: the first twelve placed couples (top ranked) and the last twelve placed couples (lower ranked). Video recordings were processed automatically using computer vision tracking algorithms under operator supervision to calculate movement parameters. Time and speed of movement were analysed during single natural (right) and reverse (left) turns performed during the Viennese waltz. Both top and lower ranked dancers tended to perform similar proportionate frequencies of reverse (≈ 35%) and natural (≈ 65%) turns. Analysis of reverse turns showed that the top ranked dancers performed less turns on a curved trajectory (16%) than the lower ranked dancers (33%). The top ranked couples performed all turns at similar speeds (F = 1.31, df = 3, p = 0.27; mean = 2.09m/s) all of which were significantly quicker than the lower ranked couples (mean = 1.94m/s), the greatest differences found for reverse turns (12.43% faster for curved trajectories, 8.42% for straight trajectories). This suggests that the ability to maintain a high speed in the more difficult turns, particularly the reverse turns on a curved trajectory, results in the overall dance appearing more fluent as the speed of movement does not fluctuate as much. This aspect of performance needs to be improved by lower ranked dancers if they wish to improve rating of their performance. Future research should determine which factors relate to the speed of turns.
Music therapy and choreotherapy are two extensive term. They do not apply only music, movement and therapy, but they include a lot of modern science, for example: psychology, music psychology, psychotherapy, psychiatry, medicine, pedagogy, special pedagogy, music education, physic education, audiology, acoustics, psychoacoustic, speech therapy, sociology, music philosophy, musicology and diffrent kind of therapy by art and movement. Therefore sound therapy and movement therapy is trans–disciplinary. It is unique thing like music and natural thing like movement. Basic kind of movement with music in therapy and rehabilitation: dance, recreation with music and movement, gymnastic with music and physical improvisation. The effectiveness of methods that use sound and movement in hearing and speech therapy is due to fact that: music and speech include rhythm, melody, tempo, volume, articulation, timbre, phrasing, accents etc.; speech development can coincide with motor development. The movement is main form child’s development. Disorders in the motor development of the child have a direct or indirect impact on the development of the child’s speech. When we teach our child motor development, also we support the development of speech, becouse the brain has one point that connect these two features. Music and movement activities with elements of music therapy, choreotherapy and rhythm therapy trains sense of rhythm, hearing and music memory and it is very important for harmonious and quiet growing up child’s – on a intellectual, physical, emotional and social plane, because of it all of processes that work in adult organism are improved. Main objective of the activities is develop different skills, attitudes and habits.

The article focuses on the height of rescuers involved in the studies performed in the training gallery located at the Regional Mines Rescue Station in Bytom. The influence of the height of rescuers on their movement through the training gallery during field training was analyzed. Four teams were evaluated which were distinguished by the highest height of rescue team's members and four teams characterized by the lowest height of the team's members out of all 36 rescue teams that underwent the investigations.
This article is an attempt to link the attributes of “Solidarity” with the movement’s place in the theory of social movements. The evolutionary paradigm has left a gap with respect to selection and systematisation of these movements. The historical approach must be adopted in order to fill in this gap. It is therefore necessary to focus on “Solidarity” as a special case in the context of the history of nation, within the framework of the totalitarian macro-formation produced by the solutions adopted after World War II. “Solidarity’s” contribution was not limited to one country only. It also helped to trigger more general transformation and globalisation processes. The rationality of “Solidarity” is rooted in systemic contingencies which required the development of an effectivemethod-sit-in strikes-but also negotiations with the regime. However, the democratic culture rooted in national tradition was the decisive factor. In the West, the state was already being viewed as an obsolete form, whereas the lesson which was learned from the Polish experience was that the sovereign state is essential for reform and modernisation. The validity of this lesson was confirmed in practice. The author argues that “Solidarity” did not fit into the schematic distinction between “old” and “new” movements. Class interests were not a priority, neither were the interests of minorities, as they are in the West.
