An Investigation of the Utility of Waist Circumference Predicting Cardiorespiratory Fitness in School Children: A Cross-Sectional Study.

The early identification of modifiable risk factors and their monitoring, also within school physical education (PE) classes, are becoming indispensable in the context of public health. The aim of this study was to test whether making use of waist circumference (WC) measurements increases the possibility of predicting the results of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in school-age children, as compared with body mass index (BMI) and other somatic indicators related to body fat. The cross-sectional study covered 190 children aged 10 to 15 years, participating in school PE classes.

Green Technology as a Way of Cleaning the Environment from Petroleum Substances in South-Eastern Poland.

Background: In phytoextraction methods, the problem is the obtained contaminated plant biomass, the selection of the appropriate species, resistant to the type and degree of contamination, as well as the long time needed to completely clean the soil.

Goal: when selecting the appropriate method of remediation of soils contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, not only the effectiveness of the method should be considered, but also the degree of contamination, the location of the site and its current and planned use.

Methods: Descriptive, laboratory and comparative methods were used.

Best Educational Techniques in High-Fidelity Simulation According to Nursing Students-Adaptation and Validation of the Educational Practices Questionnaire (EPQ).

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the best educational techniques used during high-fidelity simulations in training nursing students and to introduce the Polish version of the Educational Practices Questionnaire (EPQ) scale after its cultural adaptation and determination of its psychometric properties. The research group was composed of 361 second- and third-year nursing students in the licentiate program. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients for the adapted tool were 0.

Quality Parameters of PE-Pomace Based Membranes.

This paper presents the results of research on selected mechanical and physical properties of polyethylene membranes containing 50% of the plant fraction obtained as waste from an edible oil press. The produced biomembranes were characterized by low tensile strength (2.02-4.

Novel Formula of Antiprotozoal Mixtures.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is becoming more common in both bacteria and pathogenic protozoa. Therefore, new solutions are being sought as alternatives to currently used agents. There are many new ideas and solutions, especially compounds of natural origin, including essential oils.

In Vitro Evaluation of Antimicrobial Effect of Phytobiotics Mixture on spp. Isolated from Chicken Broiler.

Background: The identification of natural antibacterial agents from various sources that can act effectively against disease-causing foodborne bacteria is one of the major concerns throughout the world. In the present study, a unique phytobiotics mixture containing thymol, menthol, linalool, -anethole, methyl salicylate, 1,8-cineole, and -cymene was evaluated for antibacterial activity against selected strains of spp.

Results: The phytobiotics mixture was effective against subsp.
