Background. The aim of the study was to look at the social composition of students studying unpopular degree courses and to verify whether their social characteristics affect their studyrelated situation. The questions arose in the context of the processes occurring in higher education in Poland in recent years: increasing accessibility of higher education and elimination of horizontal access barriers. Material and methods. A group of 412 students in master’s degree programs in physical education, tourism and recreation, and physiotherapy participated in the survey. Results. The results indicate that people coming from families of lower status tend to select these degree courses more often than others. The student community encompasses people from two socio-professional backgrounds: (i) business owners and (ii) employees in the service and trade sector. Social origin affects the subjects’ studying situation. Considering the aspects of satisfaction connected with studying and accepting their later role as professionals, physical education students have the most positive image of studies. Conclusions. In the social strata from which the students come, the need for higher education is acknowledged, and the families can provide money necessary for this purpose.

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess parental knowledge about the development and care of a child aged 0–12 months as well as to verify whether this knowledge is sufficient to detect potential abnormalities and thus allow for early intervention. Another aim of the study was to determine the effects of selected sociodemographic characteristics of respondents on their knowledge about the development and care of a child aged up to 1 year. Material and methods: A total of 99 parents (82 women and 17 men) with children aged 0–12 months were included in the study. The study was conducted using an author’s online questionnaire. Two scales were the main dependent variables. One scale allowed for an assessment of respondents’ knowledge about child development, while the other scale verified the knowledge about childcare. The obtained data were analysed statistically using the IBM SPSS Statistics version 20. The analysis of contingency tables used percentage profiles and the Pearson Chi-square independence test as well as Cramér’s V association. The results were considered statistically significant at α = 0.05. Results: Statistical analysis of data points to an insufficient level of parental knowledge about the development and care of a small child. Factors such as education, place of residence and attending childbirth classes have a significant impact on this knowledge. Conclusions: Parental education on normal child development and childcare is necessary. This will help prevent many abnormalities by proper care as well as earlier detection of disorders and, consequently, early intervention.

Cel: Celem pracy było zbadanie wiedzy rodziców na temat rozwoju i pielęgnacji dziecka w wieku 0–12 miesięcy i określenie, czy wiedza ta jest wystarczająca, aby móc wykryć ewentualne nieprawidłowości i przez to stworzyć możliwość wczesnej interwencji. Cel pracy stanowiło również określenie wpływu wybranych cech społeczno-demograficznych badanych osób na ich wiedzę o rozwoju i pielęgnacji dziecka w 1. roku życia. Materiał i metody: Przebadano 99 osób mających dzieci w wieku 0–12 miesięcy, w tym 82 kobiety i 17 mężczyzn. Badania zostały przeprowadzone za pomocą autorskiego kwestionariusza wywiadu z wykorzystaniem internetu. Zasadniczymi zmiennymi zależnymi były dwie skale – pierwsza pozwalała na określenie poziomu wiedzy badanych na temat rozwoju dziecka, druga oceniała poziom wiedzy o pielęgnacji dziecka. Zebrane informacje poddano analizom statystycznym w programie IBM SPSS Statistics wersja 20. W analizach tablic kontyngencji stosowano profile procentowe oraz test niezależności Chi-kwadrat Pearsona i miarę siły związku V Craméra. Wyniki uznawano za istotne statystycznie przy α = 0,05. Wyniki: W efekcie opracowania statystycznego zebranych danych można stwierdzić niedostateczny poziom wiedzy rodziców na temat rozwoju i pielęgnacji małego dziecka. Na stan wiedzy badanych istotnie wpływają takie czynniki, jak wykształcenie, miejsce zamieszkania czy uczęszczanie do szkoły rodzenia. Wnioski: Konieczna jest edukacja rodziców w zakresie zarówno prawidłowego rozwoju, jak i pielęgnacji dziecka. Pozwoli to na zapobieganie wielu nieprawidłowościom poprzez prawidłową pielęgnację, a także na szybsze wykrywanie zaburzeń i wczesną interwencję.

Introduction: Lack of legal regulations regarding the profession of physiotherapist in Poland results in lack of formal obligation to develop professionally which characterises other medical professions. Physiotherapists may raise their qualifications by participating in specialisation courses commissioned by the Medical Centre of Postgraduate Studies (Centrum Medyczne Kształcenia Podyplomowego). Outside the system of education, the education market offers a wide array of courses and professional training schemes. Physiotherapy students, especially MSc students, take part in such courses. The following research stems from the desire to specify the range and characteristics of professional development during MSc studies as well as to establish the factors encouraging this phenomenon. Material and methods: The research was conducted using a specially designed anonymous questionnaire. The test sample consisted of 152 second-year MSc students studying physiotherapy at a public physical education academy. Results: 3/4 of the research respondents participate in various forms of professional development available on the market, while 1/4 remain passive. Half of the students tested participated in two or more courses during their studies. Massage, physiotherapeutic methods, kinesio taping and manual therapy are the most popular course choices. Most often (62% of cases) the costs of such courses amount up to 5,000 PLN, one fifth of the students allocates up to 10,000 PLN for this purpose. The courses are mainly financed by the students' families or by the students themselves. Some social characteristics and studying conditions are factors conductive to undertaking such activity. Conclusions: Raising qualifications during studies is a widespread phenomenon. The aim of participation in courses is mainly to supplement knowledge with additional information, not available during studies. The main motives underlying such activity are cognitive reasons and improvement of one's situation in the work market.

Introduction The menopausal syndrome affects 85-87% post-menopausal women. Typical symptoms include: hot flashes, heavy sweats, dizziness, increased body temperature, heart palpitations, depression, mood swings, distorted concentration, distorted memory and interrupted sleeping patterns. The literature on effects of physical activity on menopausal symptoms seems to be inconsistent. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between intensified menopausal syndrome and undertaking physical activity. Material and methods We studied 105 healthy menopausal women (aged 45 to 65). Their mean age was 52 SD 5.2. We used the survey method. The research tools were: questionnaire we devised, Kupperman index and Borg scale. Additionally, we devised: physical effort intensity index and physical activity variety index. To conduct the statistical analysis, we used STATISTICA programme. We set statistical significance at p<0.05. Results We found a statistically significant relationship between the frequency of undertaking physical activity and the intensity of menopausal syndrome. More than a half of the subjects (54.3%) did physical exercise "often" or "regularly", and they did not suffer from the "severe" form of menopausal syndrome. We found a significant relationship between the BMI and intensity of menopausal symptoms (p=0.04) and between the waist size and menopausal symptoms (p=0.001). Conclusions The more intense, varied and frequent physical activity, the less intense menopausal symptoms. The subjects with normal BMI and waist narrower than 80cm had less difficult menopause. Physical activity reduces physical and psychological changes experienced in the climacteric.

Do najpoważniejszych występków względem dobrej praktyki badawczej zalicza się powszechnie: fałszerstwa, fabrykowanie oraz plagiatorstwo. Fanelli dokonał pierwszej metaanalizy badań empirycznych, w których starano się określić rozmiary zjawiska nierzetelności wśród badaczy. Okazało się, że średnio 2% naukowców przyznało się do popełnienia przynajmniej raz w karierze zawodowej fabrykacji bądź fałszerstwa, a prawie jedna trzecia do różnych innych, budzących wątpliwości praktyk badawczych. Od 14% do 72% respondentów zaobserwowało te praktyki u swych współpracowników. Zgodnie z wiedzą autorów, jak dotąd nie przeprowadzono żadnego badania dotyczącego nierzetelności badawczej w nauce wśród polskich naukowców. Celem prezentowanych badań było zbadanie z użyciem kwestionariusza opinii o środowiskowymprzyzwoleniu dla nierzetelności badawczej w dwóch środowiskach: doktorantów i pracowników naukowo-dydaktycznych uczelni wyższej Obie badane grupy wyrażają opinie o stosunkowo wysokim poziomie braku przyzwolenia na dopuszczanie się nierzetelności w trakcie procedury badań naukowych. Stwierdzono jednak istotne różnice opinii pomiędzy badanymi grupami. Grupa doktorantów o około 20% częściej wskazuje na istnienie środowiskowego przyzwolenia dla łamania norm. Pracownicy naukowi w większości (85-95%) wyrażają opinie o braku akceptacji dla nierzetelności naukowej, jednak także wśród nich daje się wyróżnić grupa wskazująca na stosunkowo wysoki poziom przyzwolenia. Uzyskane wyniki potwierdzają spostrzeżenia innych autorów o trudności mierzenia zjawiska nierzetelności w nauce i wskazują na konieczność prowadzenia dalszych badań.

Fabrication, falsification and plagiarism are serious forms of scientific misconduct. D. Fanelli conducted the first meta-analysis of surveys aiming to define the level of scientific misconduct among scientists. It found that on average, about 2% of scientists admitted to have fabricated or falsified their researches at least once in their carrier, and up to one third admitted a variety of other questionable research practices. From 14% up to 72% of respondents observed such conduct among their associates. To Authors best knowledge, no one has ever conducted a study on scientific misconduct among Polish scientists. This paper details the findings of the first survey of PhD students and academic employees of one of Warsaw universities concerning the respondents’ perception of the level of acceptance for fabrication, falsification and plagiarism within the university community. In this research a questionnaire was used where respondents had to estimate the level of acceptance for scientific misconduct. Both groups of respondents express relatively a high level of non-acceptance for scientific misconduct. However, there are significant differences between the opinions of both groups. Ca 20% more PhD students then academic employees expressed the view that there is acceptance for questionable research practices. Majority of academic employees (85-95%) did not share that view, however even among themselves there exist a group that indicates that there is a high level of acceptance for scientific misconduct. Findings confirm opinions expressed by many researchers that scientific misconduct is a phenomenon hard to investigate. Academic employees’ opinions are rather declaratory than descriptive, most probably because of their strong sense of professional solidarity. Doctoral students significantly more often express the view that there is an acceptance for questionable research practices.

Introduction Infancy is the key period in human development. Disorders in the motor development during the first year of life may affect the body posture, motor patterns and functioning in the period of childhood. The study objective was to assess the correlation between motor development in the first year of life and angle of trunk rotation, lumbopelvic- hip complex mobility and occurrence of joint hypermobility in children aged 3-9. Material and methods 120 healthy children aged 3 to 9 participated in the study. The study comprised a questionnaire and a clinical trial. The children in whom the questionnaire revealed abnormal motor development in the first year of life were included in the study group, and the other children were a control group. Then, a physiotherapist assessed the value of the trunk rotation angle with the use of a scoliometer, the lumbopelvic- hip complex mobility with the use of TPHA test, and the occurrence of joint hypermobility with the use of Beigthon test. Results Children with abnormal motor development in the first year of life were characterized by a statistically significantly higher value of the trunk rotation angle in the thoracic section and they had a higher asymmetry of rotational movement of the lumbopelvic- hip complex, as well as higher values in the Beighton test. Conclusions Abnormal motor development in the first year of life is a factor predisposing to increased values of the trunk rotation angle in the thoracic section, asymmetry of rotational movement of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex, and joint hypermobility. Studies of other factors potentially leading to development of such disorders should be continued. Children with impaired development should be included in programmes of prophylaxis.

Background. Sitting volleyball is one of the fastest growing disciplines of sport for people with movement impairments. In contrast to other team games, sitting volleyball has no division into start classes. Players are divided into those with minimum disability – MD (one player with minimum disability may be on the court) and athletes with movement impairments – D. The aim of this study was to evaluate the medical classification system in sitting volleyball based on National Polish players’ opinion. Material and methods. Nineteen people (12 men, 7 women) were examined during a sport camp (24th–27th April 2014). A diagnostic survey method was performed (10 personal questions, 16 concern classification system in sitting volleyball). Respondents were asked about their opinions on the current classification system of athletes with disabilities in sitting volleyball and possibility of playing with able-bodied athletes. Results. The current classification system has been assessed as “good” by 47.4% of respondents. Most of the athletes (73.7%) opted for a change in the medical classification system to a functional one. Most of the respondents (63.2%) were opposed to playing able-bodied with disabled athletes. Conclusion. The results confirmed the need for changes in the classification system of disabled athletes in sitting volleyball. However these changes of classification system require further verification of the scientific research.

Introduction The Trunk-Pelvis-Hip Angle (TPHA) test is used for assessing the mobility of lumbo-pelvic-hip complex. The aim of the research was to assess the intraobserver reliability of the TPHA test in girls with and without idiopathic scoliosis and to compare the test values obtained by the girls in both groups. Material and methods The research included girls without scoliosis and girls with double idiopathic scoliosis aged 8-16. The trunk-pelvis-hip angle was measured three times on each body side within one session. Statistical analysis was performed with the use of ANOVA intraclass correlation coefficient for dependent groups, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test as well as non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test for dependent groups and Mann-Whitney U test for independent groups. Results The research included 49 healthy girls (aged 11.8 ± SD 2.5 years) and 49 girls with double idiopathic scoliosis (aged 12.7 ± SD 2.6 years; Cobb angle Th 27.7º ± SD 13.4º and L Cobb 25.8º ± SD 10.5º). The intraobserver reliability for the TPHA measurements was very high (ICC>0.85). In both groups the left-side TPHA value was significantly higher than the right-side value (p=0.001). The TPHA range of motion on the right side of the body was more limited in the scoliotic girls than in the healthy ones (p=0.001). Conclusions The TPHA test is a reliable means of assessing mobility in the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex in girls by one observer.The asymmetry of movements in the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex in healthy girls needs to be observed since it may constitute one of the factors predisposing to scoliosis which limits spine rotation range of motion. The TPHA test needs further research.

Introduction: The assessment of functional fitness of older people, who took part in different forms of activities e.g. in programs which are offered by UTW, together with the information about the fitness level, can have a great importance in optimization of motor activation of older people. The aim of this study is to evaluate the changes in the level of functional fitness and basic parameters of the anthropometric parameters of older women after 16-weeks activity program offered by University of the Third Age (UTW) at the Józef Piłsudski University of Physical Education in Warsaw. Material and methods: Ten women at the age of 72,0±5,40 who attended UTW 1,7±0,48 years took part in the study. Women participated in the activities 2-3 a week, and the major activities were Nordic Walking and gymnastics. Moreover they had a chance to attend Tai Chi, swimming and dancing classes. The Fullerton Functional Fitness Test was used to assess women’s functional fitness. Test was done twice - during the second week and at the end of first semester. Results were evaluated with the usage of norms described for particular test trials and age groups (Jones and Rikli 2002). Measurements and evaluation of basic anthropometric parameters were done as well as Body Mass Index was calculated. Results: At the end of the cycle of activities, it turned out that women achieved better results during the fitness tests than they had after the first test. During evaluation with the usage of norms of Fullerton Fitness Test good level of aerobic endurance, strength and coordination of tested women was noted, however the flexibility test results gave evidence of negligence in this area. It was also discovered that participation in the cycle of physical activities might have been one of the elements that caused positive, considering health, changes in anthropometric parameters of tested women. Reducing of the body mass and the percentage of the fat tissue and regular physical activity had an influence on lean body mass increase. onclusions: Physical activities done by UTW participants during the program, where the major activities were Nordic Walking and gymnastics, had the influence on improvement of their fitness and positive changes in their anthropometric parameters.
