Spatial variation of soil salinity and sodicity is a typical characteristic of Songnen Plain grasslands in northeast China. Best management practices and grassland productivity improvement require further understanding of the relationships among the causal factors at field scale. A field soil survey for the interactions among salinity, microtopography, and vegetation was conducted on a 2.8 hectare saline sodic grassland at Da’an Sodic Land Experimental Station, Chinese Academy of Sciences, northeast China. Salinity of the soil decreases by depth increment with Na+ and HCO-3 as the dominant ions. Soil salinity and sodicity parameters measured include pH, electrical conductivity for 1 to 5 soil-water extracts (EC1:5), apparent electrical conductivity (ECa), sodium adsorption ratio, and exchangeable sodium percentage. Soil salinity is in an order of slope > mound > depression for microtopography and soil under S. corniculata community is in severe salinity, while there is no significant difference under P. australis-A. mongolica and P. australis communities. The water and salt regime in various microtopographical conditions also is discussed.

Subject and purpose of work: The article is devoted to the issue of martyrdom museums and relations they create. Its major aim is to identify and analyze relations between martyrdom museums and local communities. An attempt is made to determine how they can be managed so as to maintain their positive aspects or reorientate them into being more effective. Materials and methods: The study methods used were literature review and data analysis. Statistics and data provided by selected institutions as well as information presented in the local media were analyzed. Results: As a result, areas and ways of creating relationships were identified, as well as differences in initiating them. With regard to the different perspectives of residents and visitors, the necessity of cooperation and communication was emphasized. Conclusions: The way of creating relations depends on the size and range of a museum. As these factors influence the intensity of discussion, smaller museums are not mentioned in the literature.
Knowledge of anatomic variations concerning head and neck veins is important to surgeons performing interventions in these regions, as well as to radiologists. The retromandibular vein is used as a guide to expose the facial nerve branches inside the parotid gland, during parotid surgery and open reduction of mandibular condyle fractures. It is also used as a landmark for localisation of the nerve and compartmentalisation of parotid gland lesions preoperatively, during computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and sonography. In this paper, the anomalous retromandibular vein’s course on the left side of a male cadaver is described. The vein was formed around the nerve, while the maxillary vein travelled medial to the facial nerve branches and superficial to the superficial temporal vein. Interestingly, the facial nerve temporofacial division crossed again the superficial temporal vein upwards, forming a “nerve fork”. The incidence of the reported variability of the relationship between the retromandibular vein and the facial nerve are discussed with a detailed literature review. Accordingly, the typical deep position of the retromandibular vein in relation to the facial nerve is estimated to 88.17% to all sides. Furthermore, an updated classification system is proposed, including 4 types and subtypes. (Folia Morphol 2013; 72, 4: 371–375)
The article analyses the air temperature characteristics of the winter season in Koszalin from 1850 to 2010. The trends of changes have been determined. In addition, the frequency of thermal anomalies has been shown. The thermal classification of Lorenc has been adopted for this study. The relationship between the North Atlantic Oscillation and the air temperature in winter seasons has been estimated.
The superficial temporal artery, one of the terminal branches of the external carotid artery, is used for temporoparietal, parieto-occipital flaps and forehead flaps in reconstructive surgery. The topographic anatomy of this artery exhibits ethnic variations. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the branching pattern of the superficial temporal artery and its relation to specified landmarks in the pericranial region among Kenyans. Sixty superficial temporal arteries from thirty adult cadavers (18 male, 12 female), obtained from the Department of Human Anatomy, were examined during dissection. The number of branches and pattern of branching of the superficial temporal artery was recorded. Specific measurements were taken from the branching point to the lateral canthus, tragus, and midpoint of the arch of the zygoma. Classical bifurcation into a parietal and a frontal branch was seen in 16 (53.3%) cases. Double frontal and double parietal branches were reported in 26.7% and 13.3% of cases, respectively. Only two cases had a trifurcation. The point of origin of the branches in most cases (80%) was above the arch of the zygoma. The mean distance to the midpoint of the arch of the zygoma was 50.8 ± 20.9 mm, to the lateral canthus 58.6 ± 24.3 mm, and to the tragus 44.1 ± 18.5 mm. The branching pattern among Kenyans, therefore, differs from the classical descriptions. A good understanding of the forehead vascularity aids in the design of flaps and minimizes postoperative complications. (Folia Morphol 2010; 69, 1: 51–53)
The problem of relationships between the ultra-trace element content in a human organism and obesity has been poorly studied thus far. The primary objective of the current research has been to investigate the association between hair ultra-trace element content, body mass index and age in adult women. 1281 adult women participated in the survey. Hair ultra-trace element content (Ag, Au, Ga, Ge, La, Pt, Rb, Sb, Tl, W, Zr) was assessed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry using a NexION 300D+NWR213 apparatus (Perkin-Elmer, USA). No significant association between the hair Ag, Au, Ga, Ge, La, and Pt content and body mass index (BMI) values was observed. The hair Rb levels in normal weight, overweight and obese women exceeded the respective values in underweight females by 33 (p < 0.001), 105 (p < 0.001), and 314% (p < 0.001). The hair Sb content in obese persons was 38 (p < 0.001), 38 (p < 0.001), and 22% (p = 0.022) higher in comparison to the values observed in underweight, normal weight and overweight subjects. A twofold increase in the hair Tl content was observed in obese females in comparison to the underweight (p < 0.001) and normal weight ones (p = 0.037). It has been observed that obese women were characterized by 33% higher hair W levels in comparison to the underweight (p < 0.001) and normal weight group values (p = 0.002). The results of correlation and multiple regression analyses partially confirmed these findings and indicated that hair Rb values were characterized by the closest association with the age and BMI. To our knowledge, it is the first report on a relationship between the hair ultra-trace element content and increased body weight. The data may be used as reference values of the content of ultra-trace element in hair of women with different body mass index. However, additional experimental and clinical studies are required to explore the mechanisms of such an association.
Introduction. In the human skin exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, melanogenesis occurs in two stages, accompanied by urinary excretion of Thormalen-positive melanogen (TPM). In Poland, no data are available on the course and intensity of melanogonesis in relation to UV exposure in an industrial region. Material and methods. The Thormalen test was used for the collected samples (N=136) as modified by Matous and Suchoń. Results. Maximum environmental TPM content (0.67 μg/dm3) was observed in August. Conclusion. The time of UV exposure and local type of solar radiation promote melanogenesis.
The study aimed at testing the hypothesis that mares’ fearfulness is a potential factor differentiating the level of their maternal behaviour. Twenty purebred Arab mares were used. In part one of the study fearfulness of mares without foals was assessed by their behavioural reactivity and heart rate in response to rotating black-white squares (fearfulness test). On that basis the mares were classified into three groups: (1) fearless, n=8, (2) medium-fearful, n=7 and (3) fearful, n=5. In part two,maternal behaviour of mares was assessed in two sessions of separation test: 3 min dam’s partial separation from foal (mare out of box, but with visual, auditory and olfactory contact with foal) and 3 min full separation (mare out of stable, no contact with foal). Locomotor activity, vocalization and defecation frequency as well as heart rate in mares were recorded during both separation tests. The results showed a relation between mares’ fearfulness and their maternal behaviour. Fearless dams vocalized more (10.63±5.32, mean rank 13.00, P<0.05) and showed higher heart rate (138.00±22.66 beats/min, mean rank 15.40, P<0.05) when totally separated from their foals, compared to fearful dams (4.00±3.74 calls, mean rank 6.10; 116.00±20.32 beats/min, mean rank 7.23, P<0.05). Thus, fearless dams generally displayed higher maternal ability which is vitally important in successful breeding. In conclusion, selecting for low fearfulness ensures appropriate maternal behaviour of the brood mares.
In 13 forest reserves situated in southern Poland, 68 study plots were established in two regions: the Jurrasic Upland and the Silesian Upland. In these plots, size 10 m × 10 m divided into 100 subplots 1m² each and randomly placed in various forest communities, percentage cover of all species in ground layer was recorded. Relationships between highly invasive alien plant species, Asiatic small balsam Impatiens parviflora DC., and indigenous species, was estimated using various indexes of species richness and diversity. They were: Hill’s numbers (N₀, N₁, N₂), ShannonWiener’s index at the level of a subplot, alpha diversity (species richness within sites), and beta diversity (species richness among sites) at level of a study plot. The subplots with a presence of I. parviflora were compared with those where only native resident species occurred. The study has shown that subplots with the occurrence of I. parviflora are characterized by higher species richness and diversity of native plants independently on vegetation type. The frequency of I. parviflora was negatively correlated with beta diversity of study plots but there was no association with values of alpha diversity. In oak forest, alder carrs and floodplain forests the negative correlation between percent cover of I. parviflora and species richness, as well as cover of the herb layer was observed. The percent cover of I. parviflora was positively correlated with number of native species in beech forest and with their total cover in mixed coniferous forests. However, in natural well-preserved forest phytocoenoses I. parviflora avoids patches characterized by high cover of ground layer species and colonizes empty sites as an additional element of a community.
The paper shows the use of Kohonen's network for classification of basaltoides on the base of chemical properties of soils and Polypodium vulgare L. The study area was Lower Silesia (Poland). The archival data were: chemical composition of types of basaltoides from 89 sites (Al2O3, CaO, FeO, Fe2O3, K2O, MgO, MnO, Na2O, P2O5, SiO2 and TiO2), elements contents in soils (Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, S, Ti and Zn) and leaves of P. vulgare (Ca, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, N, Ni, P, Pb, S, Ti and Zn) from 20 sites. Descriptive statistical parameters of soils and leaves chemical properties have been shown, statistical analyses using ANOVA and relationships between chemical elements were carried out, and SOFM models have been constructed. The study revealed that the ordination of individuals and groups of neurons in topological maps of plant and soil chemical properties are similar. The constructed models are related with significantly different contents of elements in plants and soils. These models represent different chemical types of soils and are connected with ordination of types of basaltoides worked out by SOFM model of TAS division. The SOFM appeared to be a useful technique for ordination of ecological data and provides a novel framework for the discovery and forecasting of ecosystem properties.
The aim of this study was to determine relations occurring between boiling water test, standard germination test and field emergence of leek (Allium porrum L.) and onion (Allium cepa L.) seeds. In this study, seeds of six lots (‘Kalem’, ‘Ala’, ‘Ínegöl-A, B, C and D’) from three cultivars of leek and seven onion cultivars (‘Early Texas Grano’ (ETG), ‘Panku’, ‘Storm’, ‘Banko’, ‘Aki’, ‘Kisagün’ and ‘Banka’) seeds were used as plant material and their viability was evaluated in boiling water test (BWT), standard germination test (SGT) and field emergence (FE). The percentage of field emergence was evaluated at three sowing times: 20 May (FE-I), 10 June (FE-II) and 20 July (FE-III). The mean germination of leek seeds varied from 77.5% to 100.0% and from 36.0% to 61.0% in SGT and BWT, respectively. While the range of results obtained in the boiling water test was from 38.5% to 60.0%, the range of results of the standard germination test was from 81.0% to 100.0% in onion seeds. The range of field emergence was between 18.5% (‘Kisagün’, FE-III) and 72.0% (İnegöl-C’, FE-II). Besides, the boiling water test was correlated highly significantly with SGT (r = 0.670**), FE-I (r = 0.923**), FE-II (r = 0.906**) and FE-III (r = 0.939**) in leek seeds. Similarly, BWT showed positive correlation with SGT (r = 0.568**), FE-I (r = 0.844**), FE-II (r = 0.933**) and FE-III (r = 0.858**) in onion seeds. In conclusion, the boiling water test is a new and reliable technique to test seed viability and it has a great potential to test rapidly germination and field emergence of leek and onion seeds at different sowing times.
Background. Men are less than women interested in nutrition and health. Also low is their nutritional knowledge. More than 25% of men are unwilling to increase their knowledge about food and nutrition. The main sources of men’s knowledge about lifestyle including nutrition consist of Internet, colleagues and family. The low level of knowledge about nutrition and health among men is worrying especially in the context of their incidence of chronic non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease, higher than in women. Objective. The aim of the study was to determine the level of knowledge on nutrition and health among young men. Material and Methods. The study included 107 men aged 19-34 years from different places and backgrounds in Poland. Men were selected by the snowball method. The study was conducted using an authors’ validated questionnaire containing six types of closed questions (85 detailed questions in total). For statistical analysis Chi2 test was used (p≤0.05). Results. Almost 42% of men under the study were overweight or obese, and less than ¼ declared high physical activity, most showed (on a 4-point scale) sufficient (45%) or low level (40%) of knowledge of nutrition and health. Younger respondents had higher knowledge than older ones. Very low was the respondent’s awareness of an energy content of products, sources of high quality protein and amount of recommended vegetable and fruit consumption. The well-known were the reasons for civilisation diseases and the effect of dietary fibre. The internet was the main source of nutritional knowledge and health related information followed by: colleagues and family. Conclusions. The majority of men presented sufficient or low knowledge about food, nutrition and their relation to health. Young men should be encouraged to participate in various forms of nutritional and health education. This would increase the chance to avoid civilisation diseases.
Blood samples were taken from 134 Holstein cows between day 20 to 100 postpartum to determine the concentration of urea, cholesterol, glucose and total lipids and to define their relation to the reproductive performance traits: interval (I), service period (SP) and insemination index (II). Investigations were carried out in monthly intervals from October 1996 to October 1997. Average values of plasma urea, total lipids, cholesterol and glucose for the entire period studied were 5.78 mmol.1⁻¹, 3.61 g.l⁻¹, 3.34 mmol. l⁻¹ and 3.61 mmol. l⁻¹, respectively. High concentration of blood urea was related negatively with the value of the insemination index (rp = -0.51). When the average concentrations of total lipids were low in plasma in the specified time (month) negative correlations were found between total lipids and the length of service period (rp = from -0.23 to -0.54) and value of the insemination index (rp = -0.42). The concentration of plasma total lipids increased in time from post partum. Traits of reproductive performance were affected by the internal environment. Especially negative influences were observed when the concentration of plasma urea as well as total lipids and cholesterol increased or decreased abnormally.
An aim of the article is to assess the state of regulation of the relations between business partners in the FMCG distribution channels and an attempt to answer the question whether it is possible to work out in the EU countries a compromise among the supply chain participants, i.e. a joint adoption of good practices and abstention from improper actions or rather there will be necessary to introduce a uniform, restrictive legal act. The scope of analysis covered the relations between sales networks and FMCG suppliers. The article was prepared on the basis of the literature on relations between enterprises in distribution channels as well as materials of the European Economic and Social Committee; EESC. The description and analysis of the phenomena and processes occurring in relations between entities of the FMCG supply chain comprised irregularities occurring in the contacts between goods deliverers and commercial enterprises as well as the existing and proposed in this respect solutions. As important there is considered the information and education aspect of this article.
