Nonverbal communication of trauma patients in a state of minimal consciousness.

Abstract: Introduction In spite of the rapid development in various communication-support technologies for those waking up from a coma, studies describing the sole process of reconstructing communication in this group of patients are scarce. Objective The aim of this study was to analyze communication reactions in a minimal state of consciousness and describe the nonverbal behaviours characteristic for each stages significant for the therapy of communication. Material and methods 18 severely brain-injured patients in a minimal state of consciousness participated in the half-year observation study, which included people experiencing at least 4 weeks of consciousness disorder/coma. Age of patients 25±5 years. Psychological assessment included: observation of various attempts of communications undertaken by patients, caregivers and family interview, the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Individual Communication Sheet. Results Data analysis showed a significant increase in preverbal communication, both in primal and sensory areas when compared between Stage II (GCS=6-8 points) and Stage III (GCS=9-12 points). After a time, primary communication reached a high level. Patients produced communication attempts from the behaviour organization level, and an increase in the nonverbal communication level was noted. Based on observations, nonverbal communication profiles for each stage of waking up from a coma were introduced. Conclusions It was found that in the process of waking up from a coma the patients communicate with the use of the preverbal level of primal communication, the sensory and behaviour organization activities. The characteristics of the communication reactions show that in Stage III there is a significant increase in two preverbal communication areas: primal and sensory acts, when compared with Stage II.

Ultrasonic reflectometry in air: errors of sample positioning.

Abstract: The reflection coefficient of ultrasonic waves propagating in air and interacting with a plane surface of a solid is considered. The simulation of dependence of the reflection coefficient on errors of sample positioning is performed using a finite beam model along with an angular spectrum method, and next the results are validated experimentally. The simulations show that for the considered range of geometrical parameters, the role of the wave divergence for the reflection coefficient in air is insignificant. The important consequences of errors of the sample positioning are that the shift of the sample influences mostly the phase, while the errors of inclination of the sample mainly affect the magnitude of the reflection coefficient. The experiments confirm simulation results pointing out the necessity of high precision of measurements for ultrasonic reflectometry in air. The results can be used for assessment of precision, calibration, and reduction of errors in applications of the reflectometry tests.

Regularna aktywnośc fizyczna i liczne obciązenia, jakim poddawani są sportowcy przy nieodpowiednio dobranej diecie moze powodowac niedobory pokarmowe. Jakościowe i ilościowe nieprawidlowości zywienia i zachowan zywieniowych mogą wplywac na spadek zdolności motorycznych, obnizenie koncentracji, zaburzenie procesow regeneracyjnych oraz wiekszą podatnośc na przemeczenie i przeciązenia organizmu sportowca. Cel pracy . Celem pracy jest ocena oraz porownanie zachowan zywieniowych u osob uprawiających sport zawodowo i amatorsko. Material i metody. Badania przeprowadzono na grupie 100 osob, w tym 50 osob uprawiających sport zawodowo (zrzeszonych i reprezentujących kluby sportowe) oraz 50 uprawiających sport amatorsko. Ocene zachowan zywieniowych dokonano z wykorzystaniem autorskiej ankiety. Wyniki. Z analizy przeprowadzonych badan wynika, ze znaczny odsetek osob uprawiających sport zawodowo i amatorsko nie przestrzega zalecen dotyczących liczby i pory spozywania posilkow. W obu grupach wystepowaly nieprawidlowości w nawadnianiu, zarowno w ciągu dnia, jak rowniez przed, w trakcie i po treningu. Z badan wynika, ze regularne spozywanie napojow energetycznych deklaruje 81% zawodowcow oraz 75% amatorow. Spozywanie alkoholu kilka razy w tygodniu zaobserwowano u 35% zawodowcow oraz 67% amatorow sportu. Grupa zawodowcow istotnie statystycznie cześciej spozywala posilki najpoźniej do 2h przed snem, cześciej uzupelniala plyny wodą mineralną oraz spozywala mniej alkoholu niz grupa amatorow. Wnioski. 1. Zachowania zywieniowe u osob uprawiających sport zawodowo i amatorsko są nieprawidlowe. 2. Czestośc wystepowania prawidlowych zachowan zywieniowych wśrod osob uprawiających sport zawodowo i amatorsko jest na zblizonym poziomie. Abstract Introduction. Regular physical activity and frequent load in athletes with inappropriately chosen diet can cause nutritional deficiencies. Qualitative and quantitative irregularities of nutrition and nutritional behaviors could affect motor skills, decrease in concentration, impaired regenerative processes and greater susceptibility to fatigue and overload the athlete's body. Aim of the study. The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the nutritional behaviors of people practicing professional and amateur sport. Material and methods. The study was conducted on a group of 100 people, including 50 people practicing sport professionally (affiliated and representing sports clubs) and 50 amateur athletes. Assessment of nutritional behaviors were made using a proprietary questionnaire. Results. The analysis of the study shows that a significant percentage of people practicing sport professionally and amateur does not follow the recommendations concerning the number and timing of food ingestion. In both groups there were irregularities in the irrigation, both during the day as well as before, during and after exercise. Research shows that regular consumption of energy drinks declares 81% professionals and 75% amateurs. Consumption of alcohol several times a week was observed in 35% of professionals and 67% of amateur sport. Group professionals significantly more often ate meals no later than 2 hours before bedtime, often replenish fluids mineral water and consumed less alcohol than a group of amateurs. Conclusions. 1. Nutritional habits of people practicing sports professionals and amateurs are incorrect. 2. The incidence of normal nutritional behaviors among athletes professional and amateur is at a similar level. Slowa kluczowe: zachowania zywieniowe, sport. Keywords: dietary behaviours, sport.

Morphology of juvenile stages and ontogeny of three species and genera of Eremaeidae (Acari, Oribatida)

Abstract: The morphology of juvenile stages of Eremaeus cordiformis Grandjean, 1934 is redescribed and illustrated, and those of Eueremaeus laticostulatus Bayartogtokh, 2003 and Proteremaeus punctulatus Bayartogtokh, 2000 are described and illustrated for the first time. The juveniles of these species differ from each other mainly by the presence of distinct prodorsal ridges in the central part of the prodorsum, shape and distribution of some setae, and number of adanal and anal setae. The larva of Er. cordiformis has these ridges, whereas other species lack them. Eueremaeus laticostulatus has relatively long and barbed prodorsal seta in in the larva and most gastronotal setae similarly ornamented in all juveniles, whereas other species have these setae short and smooth. The nymphs of Er. cordiformis and Eu. laticostulatus have three pairs of posterior gastronotal setae (p1, h1, h2), which are inserted close to each other in transverse row, whereas those of P. punctulatus have only two pairs (p1, h1) there, and set...
