Authors: Mykhailiv G.V.
Published: January 2020

В сучасних умовах інтенсивного розвитку національної економіки важливого значення набуває функціонування малого підприємництва, яке суттєво впливає на розвиток вітчизняної економіки. У статті розкрито економічну сутність малого підприємництва, обґрунтовані форми і методи мікрокредитування малого підприємства, а також розглянуто зарубіжний досвід фінансового забезпечення мікрокредитування.Основною метою даної статті є обґрунтування рекомендацій щодо побудови системи фінансового забезпечення розвитку малого і середнього бізнесу. Також здійснено аналіз фактичного стану становлення і функціонування малого та середнього бізнесу в Україні, форм і методів його фінансового забезпечення та визначено критерії і фактори, які впливають на розвиток малих підприємницьких структур.Актуальність дослідження проблем, які піднімаються в даній статті, посилюється ще й тим, що повільність і суперечливість просування України шляхом ринкових реформ значною мірою зумовлені саме недооцінкою ролі та значенням малого та середнього бізнесу як структуро утворювального елемента ринкової економіки. У процесі дослідження виявлено проблеми та визначено перспективи фінансової підтримки розвитку малого підприємництва на місцевому та регіональному рівнях. Обґрунтовано пропозиції щодо першочергових заходів ефективної фінансової підтримки та визначено головні перспективи фінансової підтримки розвитку малого і середнього бізнесу.

Host genetic diversity provides a variable selection environment and physiological context for microbiota and their interaction with host physiology. Using a highly diverse mouse population, Bubier et al. identified that Odoribacter abundance influences sleep archi-tecture in a manner...

The microbiome influences health and disease through complex networks of host genetics, genomics, microbes, and environment. Identifying the mechanisms of these interactions has remained challenging. Systems genetics in laboratory mice (Mus musculus) enables data-driven discovery of biological network components and mechanisms of host–microbial interactions underlying disease phenotypes. To examine the interplay among the whole host genome, transcriptome, and microbiome, we mapped QTL and correlated the abundance of cecal messenger RNA, luminal microflora, physiology, and behavior in a highly diverse Collaborative Cross breeding population. One such relationship, regulated by a variant on chromosome 7, was the association of Odoribacter (Bacteroidales) abundance and sleep phenotypes. In a test of this association in the BKS.Cg-Dock7m +/+ Leprdb/J mouse model of obesity and diabetes, known to have abnormal sleep and colonization by Odoribacter, treatment with antibiotics altered sleep in a genotype-dependent fashion. The many other relationships extracted from this study can be used to interrogate other diseases, microbes, and mechanisms.

Authors: Rybchenko Larysa , Ostrovskii Ihor
Published: January 2020

Despite the fact that special education in Ukraine is quite extensive and eveloped, education itself and social psychological development remain unavailable for children with ASD. The article aim is to show a model of autistic children inclusion in the educational system of Ukraine taking into account the experience of success. The investigated group consists of 20 children with ASD and 20 children with mental retardation from a boarding school aged from 8 to 9 years. The children indices were investigated according to Binet-Simon Scale for intelligence level determination, method of neuropsychological research according to Alexander Luria for psychophysical development level determination and Childhood Autism Rating Scale for autism level determination. The analysis of inclusive education implementation in the educational system of Ukraine has been conducted. The results of studies have shown that children with ASD have substantially lower indices of speech development, capacity for imitation as well as concentration of attention than children with mental retardation. Conductance of social intervention based of TEACCH therapy elements for group of children with ASD has shown their progress in indices of social interaction, emotional reaction and communication. The results obtained allow us to build a model of inclusion of children with ASD in the educational system of Ukraine. The main components of the model are considered.
Remarks on Communes of the Polish People: the character of organization, the ideology, the meaning
Authors: Kuligowski Piotr
Published: January 2020

The aim of this paper is to rethink three important issues that refer to Communes of the Polish People’s history. Firstly, it proposes a new understanding of organization frames, in which this group acted, using the Eric Hobsbawm’s term labour sects. Secondly, the intention is to undermine the understanding of the ideological development of this organization through the prism of theoretical activity of Stanisław Worcell and Zenon Świętosławski. In this case it proposes to show Communes of the Polish People in the context of changing of Polish political vocabulary in the 1830s and 1840s using the Reinhardt Koselleck’s term Sattelzeit. In this case the most durable achievement of Communes is invention of the term “Poland of the People” (Polska Ludowa). And thirdly, the article shows that references to Communes became extinct in the 1880s, at the time of the twilight of Romanticism.
Heterosis manifestations for spike productivity traits in durum wheat
Authors: Dragov R.
Published: January 2020

Abstract. The aim of the study is to investigate the heterosis manifestations in durum wheat for quantitative traits related to spike productivity. Diallel cross includes five modern varieties of durum wheat: Victoria (BG), Deni (BG), Superdur, Progress (BG), Predel (BG). The heterosis manifestations of the ten crosses are traced for the traits: spikelet number per spike, number of kernel per spike, grain weight per spike and thousand kernel weight. The experiment is conducted in the 2014-2016 period in the experimental field of FCI- Chirpan. Standard technology for the cultivation of durum wheat is applied. The trials are organized in a randomized block design with three replications. Of each replication 30 plants are randomly picked and harvested for biometric analysis. The mean values by years from the F1 spike biometric measurements are included in the statistical analysis to determine the mid parent and better parent heterosis. For spikelet number per spike, seven crosses show high parent heterosis in the first year, four in the second and six in the third year. In all years, hybrids with a variety of Victoria have more spikelet number per spike and show better parent heterosis. For the trait kernel number per spike it is observed that combinations with Deni variety in most cases have better parent heterosis. In all years, the cross Superdur x Predel indicates high parent heterosis for this trait. For grain weight per spike most of the combinations exhibit high levels of better parent heterosis. When the Deni variety is used as female parent, all hybrid combinations show high levels of heterosis for the trait grain weight per spike. In regard to the thousand kernel weight different heterosis levels are observed, with only negative values in the first year. In the other two years in hybrid combinations there is positive heterosis in one year and negative in another year. The participation of the Deni variety in hybrid combinations leads to better parent heterosis for this trait. The data allow the use of these crosses directly in the breeding of durum wheat to increase individual traits and/or increase productivity.

Published: January 2020

Abstract. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of different fertilizer doses on the content of macroelements (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) in dry biomass and grain of maize during the 2016 – 2018 period. A field experiment with fertilization of maize was carried out on Alluvial-meadow soil (Fluvisol) in the region of Tsalapitsa village, near Plovdiv. Three variants of mineral fertilization were studied V2 (N15P10K0), V3 (N20P15K0) and V4 (N25P20K0), and a control variant V1 (N0P0K0) – without fertilization. It was established that N% content in maize dry biomass was affected significantly by the variants of fertilization (18% of the variance). Significant differences (P≤0.05) between the control variant and all the variants of fertilization were established. Increasing the fertilizer dose, nitrogen content in dry biomass increased, too. The highest was the average content of nitrogen in maize leaves (0.94%), followed by the cobs (0.71%) and the lowest was the content in the stems (0.58%). Phosphorus and potassium content of dry biomass were affected significantly by the year of the study (10% and 9% of the variance, respectively). At the 7-8th leaf growth stage of maize, the highest nutrients content (N, P, K) in dry biomass were reported. With aging of plants the nutrient content in their biomass decreased. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content in maize grain was significantly affected by the year of the experiment. Mineral fertilization had impact mostly on the nitrogen content of the grain, which was the highest in V3 variant, accepted as optimal – 0.66% on average.

Authors: Velkovski V.
Published: January 2020

Abstract. The article deals with aspects of the Bulgarian agricultural and ecological legislation, which regulate the processes of location of sites and routes on the agricultural lands in carrying out construction and other spatial planning activities. The purpose of the study is to identify some legal imperfections in this area and to justify the need for their correction, reversal or development. To achieve the goal, a methodology based on Bulgarian legal-order tracking of regulations and the analysis of the actions of the subjects implementing them is used. Expected results in this regard are associated with ignoring the negative impact of the imperfections of the legal base on the sustainability of agro-development measures.

Published: January 2020

Abstract. The study was conducted for four years (2016 to 2019) in Olive germoplasm collection at Bouka, Latakia, Syria, to evaluate flower characteristics and sexual compatibility of olive cultivar Coratina under Syrian coast conditions. “Coratina” was characterized by low level of pistil abortion, average number of flowers per inflorescence and good pollen germinablity. ISI of “Coratina” showed that this cultivar was highly self- incompatible. A new threshold depends on flowering load and final fruit set were adapted to evaluate pollinizers. The two autochthonous olive cultivars “Khodeiri” and “Dermlali” were good pollinizers for “Coratina” but with some annual differences in pollination efficiency. Reverse pollination results confirmed that “Khoderi” is inter-compatible with „Coratina“ in both directions. It is suggested to plant “Coratina” in mixed orchards with “Khoderi” because they’re inter-compatible, having regular bearing habit and overlapping in flowering period.

Published: January 2020

The interface shear strength between a geomembrane (GM) and a compacted clay liner (CCL) or a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) is of great importance for landfill stability analysis. An experimental study of the interface shear behaviour between a smooth GM (GMS) or a textured GM (GMX) and a CCL is presented in this paper. A series of monotonic shear tests was conducted using a large direct-shear apparatus. Peak and residual shear strength parameters were obtained by linear fitting of the experimental data. The shear strength of both GMS/CCL and GMX/CCL interfaces was mainly driven by the normal stress level, while the displacement rate had very little influence on the interface shear strength. The residual shear strength of the GMX/CCL interface was even higher than the peak shear strength of the GMS/CCL interface at all normal stress levels. The GM/CCL interface showed considerably higher shear strength over the GM/GCL interface; the residual strength of the GM/CCL interface was even higher than the peak strength of the GM/GCL interface at all normal stress levels. The results presented in this paper are useful for the preliminary design of landfill composite liner systems.

Background: Liver cirrhosis is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality. The availability of liver transplant has stressed on the need for accurate prognostication. Various scoring systems have been developed for the same and studies have been conducted to find the correlation of various biochemical parameters with these.Methods: This is a cross sectional study conducted on 100 patients with stigmata of liver cell failure on clinical examination and substantiated by imaging. Serum Uric acid and other biochemical parameters were determined. Child Turcotte Pugh Score, Model for End Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, United Kingdom Model for End Stage Liver Disease (UKELD) score was calculated and the correlation obtained.Results: The study showed significant, positive correlation between uric acid level and CTP, MELD and UKELD score. The study also showed the positive correlation of serum uric acid with various biochemical parameters such as total bilirubin, Prothrombin time/ International Normalized Ratio (PT/INR) and serum creatinine and negative correlation with serum albumin, with a significant p value. The mean serum uric acid was found to be 4.79(4.79± 2.0)Conclusions: The study showed a correlation between serum uric acid and the various available scoring systems such as CTP score, MELD and UKELD score. Hence serum uric acid can be used as an alternative prognostic parameter in predicting the severity and prognosis of cirrhosis of liver.
Is the glutathione conjugate of trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal transported by the multispecific organic anion transporting-ATPase of human erythrocytes?
Authors: Dygas A , Makowski P , Pikuła S
Published: January 2020

Trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), a cytotoxic end product of lipid peroxidation, is present in normal human blood plasma at concentrations of 0.1-1.0 microM. It can be, however, further metabolized within a cell, and one of the main products is 4-HNE glutathione conjugate (HNE-SG). In human erythrocyte membrane the system for active extrusion of glutathione (GSH) conjugates of various endo- and xenobiotics has been described; it exhibits either a low (Km at submillimolar concentration range) or a high (Km at low micromolar range) affinity for the transported substrates, such as for example S-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)glutathione (Dnp-SG). In the present study it has been shown that the high affinity transport system for Dnp-SG is competitively inhibited by HNE-SG with Ki of 0.2 microM, while 4-HNE inhibits non-competitively the activity of the transport system for Dnp-SG with Ki of 220microM. These observations point to the possibility that HNE-SG shares the same transport system with GSH conjugates of other endo- and xenobiotics in erythrocytes. This may be of importance for overall detoxification of the organism under oxidative stress.

Este artigo aborda a conexão entre perspectivismo e gênero a partir da etnografia airo-pai da linguagem xamânica dos seres celestes, bem como as relações interespecíficas que a atravessam. Examino as conexões entre perspectivismo, totemismo e gênero presentes nos cantos da puberdade masculina e na exegese indígena desses cantos. Argumentoque o gênero surge de múltiplas relações interespecíficas e se expressa cotidiana e ritualmente, especialmente nos ensinos xamânicos da puberdade masculina, que colocam os jovens na posição de filhotes de pássaros em seus ninhos. Entre os Airo-Pai, ser capturado pela perspectiva do outro nem sempre aciona a predação. É necessário considerar a criação e a temporalidade como vetores da percepção dos seres celestes para compreender o gênero como perspectiva.
Examination of activity books used in pre-school music education
Authors: Burak Sabahat
Published: January 2020

Music in pre-school education is an important field in terms of affective, cognitive and psychomotor development of children. In order to increase the quality of music education, musical activities should be appropriate to the level of children, educational and entertaining. In recent years, pre-school music education has been carried out within the framework of play, movement, dance, rhythm and improvisation, separate from the traditional approach. Teachers need supplementary books containing songs, games and activities in accordance with the required pre-school gains to be used in musical activities. There are ancillary resources mentioned in the music education literature that include these activities and are informative for teachers. However, the adequacy of the existing activity books is an important issue in terms of the better implementation of pre-school music education. This study aimed to examine the activity books that teachers use in pre-school music education. The study is a document review. Books were analysed in terms of activities and songs.

Management of learning facilities
Authors: Kingsley Obasi Veronica
Published: January 2020

Facilities management is an integral part of the overall management of the school. The actualisation of the goals and objectives of education requires the provision, maximum utilisation and appropriate management of the facilities. The primary purpose of the teaching and learning process is to bring about in the learner desirable change in behaviour through critical thinking. These processes do not take place in a vacuum but rather in an environment structured to facilitate learning. As stated in the conference objective, the match between an individualâ€™s characteristics with the learning environment together with the management of those learning environment is also important. Learning facilities management is a process that ensures that buildings and other technical systems support the operation of an organisation. This will improve the quality of teaching and learning facilities. A direct relationship exists between the quality of learning facilities provided and the quality of the products of the school. The physical environment of a school is a major determining factor in the attainment of its objectives. This paper describes the concept, nature, types of learning facilities, the need for learning facilities in the school and facility management methodologist. It recommended among others that school managers and teachers who constantly use learning facilities be given orientation on the maintenance of such facilities.

Keywords: Learning, facilities, management and need for learning facilities.

Authors: Urea Ionela Roxana
Published: January 2020

Today, teaching is no longer an approach as a simple act. The complexity of the society has led to a more careful study of the teaching process, so that, over the last 10 years, specialists are increasingly discussing about teaching styles as differentiating elements of the quality of educational services offered to students. The present study tries to reveal the impact that teacher' teaching style has upon the student's well-being level. We investigated 180 Romanian teachers who teach different disciplines (48.3% at secondary school ' pupils and 51.7% at high school' pupils), and 385 Romanian pupils: 48.16% coming from secondary schools and 51.84% coming from high schools, aged 10“18 years old. Using specific and adapted investigative tools (The "˜Teaching style questionnaire" and "˜The Ryff's Well Being Scale"), we found specific influences of teacher' teaching style upon the elements that define the well-being level.

Authors: Ribeiro Olga , Carmo Isabel do , Paiva Teresa , Figueira Maria Luísa
Published: January 2020

Introduction: Obesity is a significant risk factor for multiple comorbidities, and its relation to neurocognitive disfunction is particularly important in cognitive decline, especially in middle age. Due to their impact on neurodegeneration, we sought to explore neuropsychological profile, cognitive reserve and emotional distress in patients with severe obesity.Material and Methods: We used a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, neuropsychological tests and a symptom self-reported scale of emotional distress. We evaluated the cognitive performance of 120 patients, aged between 18 and 65 years, in treatment for their severe obesity in Portugal, between May 2012 and December 2015.Results: Cognitive performance was below the mean for the Portuguese population, for immediate recall, visuoperception, resistance to interference and cognitive flexibility. Cognitive reserve was mostly low, especially in the older groups and groups with low professional status and increased associated with better cognitive outcomes. Emotional distress was shown to be higher in our sample compared with a normative sample. The risk factors evaluated were important in the worsening of cognitive functions. Cognitive performance decreased with age.Discussion: Severe obesity was associated with a poorer cognitive performance of the sample. The cognitive reserve was greater in the younger groups. There was a significant presence of emotional distress, especially among women.Conclusion: Severe obesity is associated with an impairment in cognitive and emotional performance, aggravated by aging, cognitive reserve, and comorbidity. This study emphasizes the need for preventive actions, such as neuropsychological screening, in the detection of changes and the design of better interventions.

The article titled “BUMN between Private Law and Public Law” aims to find the best solution for crossing the position of BUMN that meets in it two different legal regimes namely private law and public law in Indonesia. Until now it has not been found yet, the most appropriate measure to differentiate BUMN/BUMD is subject to state finance or whether it is subject to the private financial system. Law Number 17 of 2003 concerning state finance has a strong public law nuance representing Hobbes's thinking, while Law Number 19 of 2003 concerning BUMN is stronger in the spirit of private law which represents Grotius' ideas, the problem that arises, namely how to resolve the law dogmatically fairly between the two laws that contain the opposite spirit. The article uses normative legal research methods with a conceptual approach, a statutes approach and a legal case approach. This research resulted in recommendations for the use of legal philosophy as a meta theory for legal theory to be the settlement of the meeting point to find an equilibrium that fulfills a sense of justice.
Debris Flow Generation Based on Critical Discharge: A Case Study of Xiongmao Catchment, Southwestern China
Authors: Gong Lingfeng , Tang Chuan , Xiong Jiang , Li Ning
Published: January 2020

A debris flows generation related to a poorly sorted mixture of soil, catchment topography and rainfall characteristic. Runoff of some depth on valley resulting from intensive rainfall can incur the sediments movement of beds or adjacent banks. The fluid flow in channel affected by rainfall parameters combinations, such as duration, intensity, cumulative rainfall, etc., is the key factor for debris movement. In this paper, the rainfall characteristics and occurrence conditions of debris flow in Xiongmao gully on July, 26th, 2016, have been explored, combined with field survey and indoor simulation experiment on the collected critical discharge parameters of debris movement. Further, debris distribution and the critical discharge characteristics have been analysed, by means of investigation on the catchment topography and occurrence cause of the debris flow, analysis of the critical discharge parameters on which the channel debris began to move, and K value clustering analysis method to characterize the rainfall pattern of the studied area, the discharge calculation of debris flow occurring in different rainfall patterns. The results have shown that, for the debris flow occurrence in Xiongmao gully, the debris initiation on the middle reaches of the gully provide the majority of solid particles for the disaster on July, 26th, 2016, and the upstream confluent provided catchment. Based on the relationship obtained from laboratory test, in which the calculated critical discharge was 43.8m3/s, less than the peak discharge (Qc =66.7m3/s), calculated by morphological method. In addition, it has been indicated that the dominated rainfall patterns of the studied area are first-quartile and second-quartile, that is, the rainfall is primarily at earlier or middle to preliminary stage of this time rainfall event. The critical discharge for the occurrence of debris flow on July, 26th was achieved 20a rainfall frequency, the larger runoff volume generated on shorten heavily rainfall. Based on individuality characteristics, such as distributed hydrological analysis, critical discharge and rainfall pattern of debris flow, the forewarning could be more efficient.

Published: January 2020

A comprehensive germplasm screening study of 855 wheat advanced lines was conducted at Wheat Research Institute, Ayub Agricultural Research Institute Faisalabad to identify new sources of leaf rust resistance during crop seasons 2015-2017. In primary evaluation, 112 advanced lines were selected having high phenotypic uniformity for further testing at wheat research Institute Faisalabad, a hotspot for leaf rust. The second round of evaluation exhibited 54 lines having durable type resistance against leaf rust. Avirulence to virulence formula showed that 7 Lr genes remained most effective at all four locations. Epidemiological factors indicated great influence on the progress of leaf rust disease development. Maximum lines showed statistically significant correlation with all environmental conditions. A positive linear relationship was observed between minimum and maximum temperature, relative humidity, rainfall and wind speed. It was concluded that resistant wheat advanced lines and Lr genes identified under natural environmental conditions can be an excellent source to be employed for breeding resistance into the background of high yielding wheat cultivars through molecular or conventional breeding technique, and are expected to contribute toward food security at national and global levels.

Fractures occurred between 7 days and 4 months postoperatively and include 2 fractures where tenodesis had been performed with interference screw fixation and one fracture where tenodesis had been performed with a bicortical endobutton technique.

Conclusions:

These case reports highlight the risk of this complication in biceps tenodesis with bony fixation. The authors review the previously reported cases and relevant biomechanical studies that elucidate risk factors for humerus fracture and discuss alternative means to treat biceps tendon pathology.

» Regardless of recent advances in rotator cuff repair techniques, the rate of unhealed or recurrent rotator cuff tears remains high, with most recurrent rotator cuff tears occurring within the first 6 months after surgery.

» Factors that can negatively affect tendon healing include older age, greater tear size, tendon retraction, and fatty infiltration. However, several clinical features that are often underestimated, including osteoporosis, diabetes, smoking, and hyperlipidemia, have proven to have an important influence on rotator cuff healing.

» Recent meta-analyses that evaluated studies with Level-I and Level-II evidence have shown an overall increase in retear rates after single-row repair compared with double-row repair. However, to our knowledge, there are no Level-I clinical studies comparing different double-row configurations and, to date, no double-row repair technique has proven to be superior to the others.

» The influence of postoperative rotator cuff healing on clinical outcomes is controversial. Although clinical differences may not be apparent in the short term, healed tendons have had better functional outcomes and greater strength in the midterm.

» In general, a period of immobilization for 2 to 4 weeks, depending on tear size, is recommended. Graded supervised rehabilitation has proven to facilitate tendon healing without associated stiffness compared with early unprotected range of motion.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara siklus bisnis politik, inflasi, jumlah uang beredar (M1), kurs, PDB riil dan pertumbuhan PDB riil di Indonesia. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data kuartalan bersumber dari Badan Pusat Statistik dan Bank Indonesia dengan periode penelitian mulai tahun 2002:Q1 sampai dengan 2018:Q3. Hasil estimasi Ordinary Least Square (OLS) menunjukkan bahwa selama periode pemilu inflasi akan turun, tetapi tidak signifikan secara statistik. Sebaliknya, inflasi meningkat pasca pemilu. Selama kurun waktu 5 rezim pemerintahan, terlihat adanya siklus ekspansi pertumbuhan ekonomi pada akhir periode pemerintahan kecuali pada akhir pemerintahan SBY 2. Namun hasil estimasi untuk menguji hubungan PDB riil dan pertumbuhan PDB riil dengan sikus politik tidak signifikan. Sedangkan hasil estimasi untuk menguji hubungan jumlah uang beredar dan kurs dengan siklus politik signifikan secara statistik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa siklus bisnis politik terjadi di Indonesia dari sisi moneter.

ABSTRACTIntroduction: According to the Nurses and Midwives Act and other legal Acts, a midwife is a person having appropriate competence for independent care of a woman during physiological pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, and a newborn. These entitlements do not only apply to practice in a hospital or clinic, but also to home conditions, including physiological delivery in locations other than a hospital.The aim of the study is to know the opinion of midwives on planned births in non-hospital locations.Materials and methods: 233 midwives from all over Poland were surveyed. The survey was conducted between May and August 2014. The diagnostic survey method was applied using the author’s questionnaire. Statistica 10 and MS Office programs were used for statistical analysis.Results: 22.1% of the surveyed midwives expressed a willingness to attend a home birth. 67.1% of respondents would not attend a home birth. The decision to attend a birth in non-clinical setting was significantly dependent on the safety of such a birth (p = 0.0000).Conclusions: There was a statistically significant relationship between the opinion of the respondents on the safety of out-of-hospital birth setting and possible handling of such labors.

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Family members as informal caregivers are the most common and important providers of caring services in the home environment of patients suffering from chronic diseases.The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between the functional and mental performance of patients being provided long-term nursing home care and the burden of their caregivers.Materials and methods: The study was carried out in the Lublin region from September 2016 to February 2017. The study group included 149 patients with chronic diseases under long-term nursing home care and their 150 informal caregivers. The burden of the caregivers was assessed by means of the Carers of Older People in Europe (COPE) Index questionnaire which is used to check different aspects of the caregivers’ roles, life situations and relationships with the care recipients. The patients’ functional performance was measured by means of the Barthel Index for Activities of Daily Living, while their mental performance was checked using the Abbreviated Mental Test Score.Results: According to the COPE Index, the caregivers’ burden for particular subscales was as follows: Negative Influence of Care (NIC) 11.80 (SD = 3.75), Positive Value of Care (PVC) 13.71 (SD = 2.07), Quality of Support (QS) 12.46 (SD = 2.69). It has been indicated that the worse the functional and mental performance of the patient under care, the greater the burden of the carers – NIC (p < 0.01), the lower the satisfaction with care – PVC (p < 0.01) and the lower the quality of support given – QS (p < 0.01). The deterioration of a patient’s mental performance correlates with the female gender of the caregiver and the longer duration of care.Conclusions: The lower functional and mental performance of patients who are being provided long-term nursing home care has a relationship to the experience of the negative effects of care by informal carers, lower satisfaction with care and lower quality of support.

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Among adolescents, the importance of music reveals itself in their subjective experience (feelings), expression and emotional behaviors, as well as their physiological reactions. Music is of particular value because it is accepted and liked by young people, it stimulates imagination, provides many aesthetic impressions and has a significant impact onthe personal experience of the listeners. Adolescents have their own preferences regarding music, conditioned by their personality or situational factors.The primary purpose of this study is to determine the impact of different genres of music on experiencing emotions by young people.Materials and methods: In the project we assumed that the effect of music depends on many factors, such as its genre and the age or gender of the listener. We argue that listening topopular music causes changes in teenagers’ emotions, the music genre determines the nature of invoked emotions and that gender differentiates perception of emotions depending onthe kind of music one is listening to. We conducted a psychological experiment with a questionnaire to assess the participants’ initial mood, upon which they were presented with athree minute music video (hip-hop, pop, or heavy metal, depending on the group) and asked to evaluate 21 IAPS pictures (The International Affective Picture System), then they filled out a self-designed questionnaire including questions on demographic data, music preferences, or potential hearing problems. The study involved 388 second and third-grade secondary school students from Szczecin.Results: The experiment permitted identifying the cause and effect relationship between listening to music and emotions of the youth. It has been shown that in adolescents, listening to popular music evokes changes within emotions. These changes have more negative than positive effects on young people’s emotional reception of reality. In adolescents, gender has a differentiating function in the emotional reception of visual stimuli while listening to music.Conclusions: The experiment results show that listening to a specific music genre during the period of adolescence can have an important and specific role in development and socio-emotional functioning, and also indicates the need for further research on this issue.
