Polish Firefighters' Participation in Interventions Related to Behavioral Disorders in the 2020-2022 Period: An Observation of Incidents.

Background: Rescue service interventions for patients with behavioral disorders are quite common. The aim of this study is to analyze interventions of Polish State Fire Service units in incidents involving health threats to victims with behavioral disorders.

Materials And Methods: This study used data from the Decision Support System of the State Fire Service.

Screening method for differentiation of plastic and non-plastic microparticles contaminating store-bought rice.

This article presents a simple and low-cost screening method based on optical microscopy and FT-IR spectroscopy for assessing microparticles found in rice. Five brands of rice packed in paper and foil bags from both the European Union (EU) and non-EU region were tested. Microparticles of various shapes have been found in the rice regardless of the packaging type and origin of the rice.

Physical fitness and body build parameters of children and adolescents participating in the physical activity promotion programme "Athletics for all!".

Background: This study attempts to analyse physical fitness and basic anthropometric parameters of children and adolescents participating in the nationwide physical activity promotion programme "Athletics for All!" (AFA). The programme aims to establish a national system for diagnosing, selecting, recruiting, and identifying talents in youth training. It also aims to build a career development path for athletics, forming the basis of a new structure for youth training in Poland.

Differences in Emotional Intelligence Between Male and Female Nursing Students From a Population With a Low Percentage of Male Nurses.

Introduction: Poland has the largest shortage of nurses in Europe, as well as a low percentage of male nurses. Information relating to emotional intelligence has been explored to determine whether it predicts the characteristics and outcomes of qualified health professionals during their academic training and practice.

Objective: This study aimed to measure differences in emotional intelligence between male and female nursing students.

Assessment of parameters reflecting the reactivity of the autonomic nervous system of Polish firefighters on the basis of a test in a smoke chamber.

Objective: Measurement and analysis of heart rate variability in a population of professional firefighters based on heart rate (RR) recording. Assessment based on a smoke chamber test in correlation with age, length of service, body mass index.

Materials And Methods: The smoke chamber test for the officers of the State Fire Service (SFS) is aimed at improving the skills and techniques of working in special clothing and in a respiratory protection set (RPS) under high psychophysical burden.

Gluten-containing flours and gluten-free flours as a source of calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc.

Wheat flour is widely used in Poland for the preparation of bread, pasta and other foods. Due to the increasing number of people diagnosed with diet-related diseases, consumer awareness of health-promoting issues and interest in gluten-free products (GFP). There is a dynamic development of the market for these foods with high quality and nutritional value and minerals that benefit human health and prevent deficiencies in patients on a gluten-free diet.

An analytical approach for unsupervised learning rate estimation using rectified linear units.

Unsupervised learning based on restricted Boltzmann machine or autoencoders has become an important research domain in the area of neural networks. In this paper mathematical expressions to adaptive learning step calculation for RBM with ReLU transfer function are proposed. As a result, we can automatically estimate the step size that minimizes the loss function of the neural network and correspondingly update the learning step in every iteration.

Prevalence of and in collected from dogs in eastern Poland.

Introduction: ticks are an important vector and reservoir of pathogenic microorganisms causing dangerous infectious diseases in humans and animals. The presence of ticks in urban greenery is a particularly important public health concern due to the potential for humans and companion animals to be exposed to tick-borne diseases there. The study assessed the prevalence of and infection in ticks feeding on dogs.

[ species at the workplace: microbiota component, opportunistic pathogen and zoonotic agent].

isolated from both humans and animals have a similar genotype. Properties of specific for different host species have not been isolated, followed by studies indicating that animals can be a reservoir of these fungi for humans. Occupational exposure concerns workers who have direct contact with farm animals, i.

Impact of Verbal Suggestions on Finger Flexor Activation and Strength in Healthy Individuals.

BACKGROUND Words uttered by other people can have an enormous influence on how we perceive our surroundings, what we expect, what we experience, and how we behave. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of verbal reinforcement on the placebo effect in the context of finger flexor muscle activation measured with surface electromyography (sEMG) and hand grip strength measured with a hand dynamometer in healthy subjects. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighty-eight individuals aged 22.
