Skuteczność działań marketingowych realizowanych przez gospodarstwa ekoagroturystyczne w ich aktywności rynkowej zależy od struktury oferty przystającej jak najlepiej do potrzeb konsumentów poszukujących szeroko rozumianej ekologicznej formy wypoczynku, uwzględniającej oprócz niezanieczyszczonego otoczenia również inne jej aspekty. Aby zaspokoić potrzeby tej grupy odbiorców należy zadbać o to, by oferta gospodarstw ekoagroturystycznych realizowana w obszarze wykorzystywanych instrumentów marketingowych podkreślała ekologiczne aspekty takiej formy wypoczynku. Celem artykułu jest określenie kształtu dostępnej proekologicznej oferty gospodarstw ekoagroturystycznych w Polsce. W badaniu gospodarstw ekoagroturystycznych wykorzystano metodę wywiadu w oparciu o technikę, jaką był wywiad telefoniczny z wykorzystaniem standaryzowanego kwestionariusza wywiadu opracowanego przez autorkę niniejszego artykułu. Badanie gospodarstw ekoagroturystycznych zostało przeprowadzone przez agencję badawczą. Zrealizowane badania pokazały, że gospodarstwa ekoagroturystyczne w odniesieniu do analizowanych obszarów ich oferty uwzględniają w sposób mało zróżnicowany jej ekologiczne aspekty. Wobec wzrastającej świadomości ekologicznej ekoagroturystów działania te powinny być bardziej różnorodne i realizowane w sposób kompleksowy w obszarze wykorzystywanych instrumentów marketingowych.
Agroturystyka odgrywa istotną rolę w wielofunkcyjnym rozwoju obszarów wiejskich. Jej realizacja jest uwarunkowana rozpoznaniem potrzeb agroturystów w odniesieniu do pożądanego kształtu elementów składowych oferty agroturystycznej, co przyczynia się do ich doskonalenia w ramach marketingowej działalności gospodarstw agroturystycznych. Celem przeprowadzonych badań było określenie oczekiwań klientów wobec oferty gospodarstw agroturystycznych w regionie łódzkim. Badania zostały zrealizowane na próbie 120 respondentów w 2011 roku (lipiec-sierpień). W świetle tych badań można stwierdzić, że agroturyści oczekują oferty dostosowanej do ich indywidualnych potrzeb, będącej efektem możliwości wyboru spośród różnych wariantów propozycji gospodarstwa agroturystycznego.
Traditional methods of horses training are now complemented by sympathetic methods that have been hailed as “horse whispering”. Also called Naturalhorsemanship, in recent years the popularity of sympathetic training methods has grown rapidly. This has happened not only because of some of famous riders like Monty Roberts or Pat Parelli, but also due to research conducted on an ever increasing scale. Naturalhorsemanship is not only a style of riding, as is often seen, but mainly a philosophical approach to the horse. Sympathetic training methods often refer to the ethology, natural behavior, body language of horses and the specific manner of their learning. The advantage of the use of such methods is, among other things, alleviating stress inevitably associated for young horses with their training. Research conducted in a group of hot-blooded horses confirmed that the training methods based on the knowledge and use of natural behavior and body language of horses reduce stress and decrease emotional response during the initial and subsequent training sessions. Existing uncertainties of the impact of this type of training should be shortly explained by broadly conducted research on the psychology of horse training.
W realizacji idei rozwoju zrównoważonego istotnego znaczenia nabiera koncepcja turystyki zrównoważonej. Istotną formą realizacji takiej koncepcji turystyki na obszarach wiejskich jest ekoagroturystyka. Celem przeprowadzonych badań było określenie preferencji klientów w odniesieniu do kształtu oferty ekoagroturystycznej w Polsce. Badania zostały zrealizowane na próbie 128 respondentów w miesiącach lipiec-sierpień 2011 i 2012 roku z zastosowaniem metody wywiadu bezpośredniego. W świetle tych badań można stwierdzić, że ekoagroturyści oczekują możliwie największego zróżnicowania ekologicznych aspektów ich wypoczynku.
This paper presents the results of microbiological research on the water of the River Vistula between Wyszogród and Toruń, as regards the total number of planktonic bacteria (TNB), the number of heterotrophic bacteria: psychrophilic (TVC 20oC) and mesophilic (TVC 37oC), the occurrence of anaerobic spore-forming bacteria, and the number of coliform bacteria, faecal coliforms and faecal streptococci. The value of the Korsh coefficient and the titre of coli indicate that the waters of the Lower Vistula on the Wyszogród – Toruń section are moderately polluted and in the majority of cases may be classified as class III purity, with the exception of sections of the river near Płock and Toruń, which are unclassified. The values of the FC/FS ratio indicate the predominance of faecal contamination of human origin.
This paper deals with the sanitary conditions of the water and bottom sediments in the Lower Vistula river, between Wyszogród and Toruń. The contaminationextent of the water and bottom sediments by easily decomposable organic matter and substances of faecal origin have been indirectly estimated by determining the total number of heterotrophic bacteria (TVC 20oC) and the occurrence of the faecal coliform (FC) and faecal streptococci (FS). Examination resultsenabled a classification of this water as moderately and moderate highly affected by the easily decomposable organic matter and faecal substances. The bottom sediments, however, contained a much greater load of psychrophilic and faecal heterotrophic bacteria, yet they were polluted to a moderate extent. According to bacteriological results the examination site that revealed the greatest extent of easily decomposable organic matter and faecal matter, both in the water and bottom sediments, was the study site near Płock (site II). The least affected sites were those in the Włocławski Reservoir dam (site III) and near Nieszawa (site IV). The faecal contamination factor (FC:FS ratio), in majority cases being more than 4, indicated that it was human-borne faecal contamination that dominated the area.
There is not much research done on the influence of sympathetic training on the emotional reaction of horses. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the emotional response and the stress level in horses to two sympathetic training methods: (1) with the use of the “round pen technique” (RP),and (2) in which the RP was not applied (SH). Twenty two naive half-bred Anglo-Arab horses (2.5 years ±3 months of age) were subject to an initial training. Eleven horses were randomly included to the RP method and the other 11 horses for the SH method. Heart rate (HR) and saliva cortisol concentration were measured as indicators of horse emotional arousal and stress level, respectively.The HR values were analysed: at rest, during the habituation period, just after the first saddling and tightening of the girth, during the first time a human leaned over the horse’s back, and during the mounting of the horse. Saliva samples were taken before and 15 min after each training session studied. After saddling, the HR occurred significantly higher when the RP technique was used. The significant increase in saliva cortisol concentration was observed only after the first mounting of naive the horse. Generally, the use of the RP technique did not involve more important physiological reactions in the trained horses than did the SH method.
This paper presents results from a study of the sanitary state of the northern section of Chełmżyńskie Lake. In order to identify the sanitary state of the lake, number of bacteria indicationg the degree of water contamination (TVC 22℃ and TVC 37℃) and sanitary state (TC, FC, FS, Clostridium perfringens and Salmonella) were determined. According to our results, the surveyed lake water belongs to water quality class III (Ministry of the Environmental Protection Directive from 11th February, 2004; Dz.U. No. 32/2004, sec. 284) with respect to bacteria. Values of total coliform (TC) and fecal strepococcus (FS) indicators for water from all swimming sites of the Chełmżyńskie Lake did not exceed standards adopted for water quality at swimming sites (Directive of the Ministry of Environmental Protection from 16 october, 2002; Dz.U. No. 183/2002, sec. 1530). The permissible values of fecal coliform (FC) indicators were exceeded during the study period in water from two swimming sites (stations III and IX). Sanitary hazards associated with the presence of the Salmonella bacteria were found in water from two sites (stations IV and VII), which disqualifies these tested sites from suitability for swimming. According to the requirements specified by the U.S. Department of Interior Federal Water Pollution Control Administration (1968), Chełmżyńskie Lake conforms with standards for recreational water with respect to the TC indicator. However, we obtained slightly less favorable results with respect to the FC indicator. In this case, FC indicator levels in water from three research stations located in the Chełmżyńskie Lake (II, III, and IX) exceeded the permissible values.
The objective of the study was to determine the activity of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems associated with various kinds of behaviour in Thoroughbred yearlings during initial training by natural methods. The initial training lasted approximately one hour a day for three successive days. Each day, the behaviour of each colt during the first 15 minutes of training was filmed. During training, a telemetric device was used to measure heart rhythm parameters: heart rate (HR per minute), which shows the activity level of the sympathetic system, and RMSSD (root mean square of two successive RR intervals in QRS curve; ms), illustrating the activity level of the parasympathetic system. On the basis of the film, the frequency of 10 most typical kinds of behaviour was estimated. The synchronization of the film with the heart rhythm parameters record made it possible to determine the mean values of these parameters for particular kinds of behaviour. The results show that on the successive days of training, the activity of the parasympathetic part of the autonomic system increased, and the frequency of reactions decreased. The heart rhythm parameters show that, among the typical reactions to training, four kinds of behaviour are desirable: turning the head towards the trainer, low position of the head, turning ears towards the trainer and licking the lips. Other kinds of behaviour, that is, running away, a high position of the head, vocalization, teeth grinding, tail movements to the sides and defecation, are undesirable. The highest excitability is associated with running away and a high position of the head, whereas the head turned towards the trainer and a low position of the head show that the horse is calm.

Impact of systemic cryotherapy on physical fitness

51%
Background: Systemic cryotherapy has broad effects on the human body. These include improved immunity, accelerated tissue regeneration, activation of thermoregulatory mechanisms, analgesic effects, and reduced muscle tension and spasticity without compromising strength. Aim of the study: To evaluate the effect of systemic cryotherapy on physical fitness. Material and methods: The 43 participants (42 – 53 years of age) underwent 10 daily treatments in a nitrogen cryochamber over two consecutive weeks. Each cryochamber treatment lasted for 3 minutes at -130°C. Physical fitness was tested before and after the cryochamber treatment course using elements of three physical testing methods (a functional movement screen, a TKKF physical fitness test and a general fitness test). Results: After cryotherapy, there was a visible improvement in the first four exercises of the fitness test with fewer participants feeling pain during movement, and more able to perform the exercises correctly or perfectly. For the remaining three exercises, the changes occurred in fewer subjects and to a lesser extent. Conclusions: Systemic cryotherapy was associated with improved physical fitness. It can be used to help increase overall physical fitness as a complementary and supportive process.
This paper deals with the evaluation of the sanitary state of bottom sediments of the Lower Vistula along the section from Wyszogród to Toruń. The contamination extent of bottom sediments by easily decomposable organic matter and substances of faecal origin was defined based, respectively, on the number of heterotrophic bacteria capable of growth at 22°C and the occurrence of faecal coli (FC) bacteria. Examination results enabled to classify the bottom sediments of the Lower Vistula in the studied section as little and moderately loaded with easily decomposable organic matter, as well as very little, little and moderately polluted with faeces. The highest contamination with faecal and easily decomposable organic matter was recorded in bottom sediments of the sites located in Wyszogród and Płock. Research point situated within the limnic part of the reservoir in the vicinity of Włocławek was the least contaminated site.
The present study was aimed at evaluating the number of bacteria and mould fungi in the indoor and outdoor environment of Toruń University Library. The sampling sites were located in the rooms serving the functions typical of libraries (i.e. in the Main Reading Room, Current Periodicals Reading Room, Collections Conservation Laboratory, Old Prints Storeroom, in rooms serving other (non-library) functions (i.e. main hall, cafeteria, and toilet) as well as outside the library building. The analyses reveal that the concentrations of bacterial as well as fungal aerosols estimated with the use of the impaction method ranged between 101-103 CFU·m-3, which corresponds to the concentrations normally observed in areas of this kind. Evaluation of the hygienic condition of the studied areas was based on the criteria for microbiological cleanliness in interiors submitted by the European Commission in 1993. According to this classification, the air was considered to be heavily or moderately contaminated with bacteria, while the air contamination with mould fungi was described as low or moderate. The air in the Old Prints Storeroom was considered the least contaminated with microbial aerosol.
