Romania * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Background. The development of the informational means led to the diminishing of communication skills between people. These useful means of information are needed in the conditions of the current life but they also contribute substantially to the self-isolation by working from home, by distance communication, and this fact can be noticed in the antisocial behaviour of teenagers. Objectives. By approaching this matter at the dance classes we have the possibility to develop the human relationships and to determine the possibility of collaboration and the development of creativity through the specifics of the discipline and the suggested subjects. In achieving the objectives we pursued in this research 3 categories of: aptitude factors, intellectual factors and personality factors. All these categories of factors were capitalized in the context in which the subjects had to make cha-cha-cha choreography on the basis of the acquired, physical and methodological knowledge. Methods. Teaching – learning – consolidation – improvement were the working methods at first. The observation method: we used the formative-participatory methods. The modeling method: we used creative exercises and exercises of body expressiveness in relation with the nature of the movements and the music. Results. The evaluation took place under competition conditions in order to stimulate the collaboration between the members of the groups. The results showed that the 2nd, the 3rd and the 5th group, where the subjects managed to collaborate, to socialize and to form a common idea and a common aim, had better structured choreographies and had more creativity, as they got 7 points out of 10. For the 1st, 4th and 6th group, where the subjects didn’t collaborate much, the creativity couldn’t develop. Conclusion. By working in groups, all subjects have made progress regarding their social abilities. In groups where the emulation was faster, there were better executions, the members of the group synchronized and the choreographies were more creative. In the dance classes for groups of students it’s about a creative potential which have developed through the learning process but also through other activities which took place independently. Keywords: socialization, creativity, dance, physical education Introduction The vertiginous development of information tools has lead to the decrease of people’s ability to communicate directly. These useful means of information are necessary for the real, actual life, but at the same time contribute substantially to the self-isolation by working at home, by remote communication, thus this is felt through antisocial behavior of young people. In the last decades, creativity has been recognized as a personality factor and is considered to be one of the variables of major importance

  • Maciej Łuczak Oszustwo Dopingowe W Sporcie Wyczynowym
    ROZPRAWY NAUKOWE Akademii Wychowania Fizycznego we Wrocławiu 2018, 60, 118 – 134 Maciej Łuczak Akademia Wychowania Fizycznego w Poznaniu OSZUSTWO DOPINGOWE W SPORCIE WYCZYNOWYM WśRÓD KOBIET W LATACH 1950–2017 Cel badań. W artykule przedstawiono zjawisko dopingu kobiet w sporcie w XX i XXI w. Wśród sportsmenek sztuczne wspomaganie wykryto w latach 50. XX w. W niektórych krajach powstał system maskowania dopingu przez władze państwowe. Doświadczenie w zakresie opracowywania i podawania leków wspomagających miały laboratoria antydopingowe, m.in. w Kreischa w NRD. Stosowanie niedozwolonych praktyk ukazano na przykładzie NRD, RFN, ZSRR, Chin, USA, Kenii i Polski. Materiał i metody. Materiał badawczy został zinterpretowany przy użyciu metod stoso- wanych w naukach historycznych: indukcyjnej, dedukcyjnej, komparatystycznej i analizy litera- tury specjalistycznej. Do sformułowania ostatecznych wniosków wykorzystano metodę syntezy. Wyniki. Praktyki dopingowe miały miejsce w wielu krajach. Od 1956 r. notuje się stosowanie wspomagania organizmów sportsmenek za pomocą testosteronu. Z czasem doszły bardziej udo- skonalone niedozwolone środki oraz metody, takie jak np. doping ciążowy. Najbardziej zorganizo- wany doping pod kuratelą państwa miał miejsce w NRD, RFN, ZSRR, Chinach, USA, Kenii i w Polsce. Wnioski. W latach 50. XX w. zawodniczki – zwłaszcza w Związku Radzieckim – spo- radycznie przyjmowały testosteron oraz steroidy anaboliczno-androgenne. Później liczba stoso- wanych środków dopingujących systematycznie rosła. Na większą skalę zaczęto je przyjmować dopiero w latach 70. i 80. XX w. Próbą zapanowania nad tym zjawiskiem są badania antydopin- gowe, jednak chęć zwycięstwa często przeważa nad zdrowym rozsądkiem. Słowa kluczowe: sport, doping, historia, kobiety WprowadzEniE Doping w sporcie znany jest od bardzo dawna. Zapewne byłby łatwiejszy do wykrycia, gdyby nie korzyści płynące z niego dla firm farmaceutycznych, lekarzy, trenerów, za- wodników, federacji sportowych oraz polityków i rządów państw.

  • The Effects of Meldonium on the Acute Ischemia/Reperfusion Liver Injury in Rats
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The efects of meldonium on the acute ischemia/reperfusion liver injury in rats Siniša Đurašević1*, Maja Stojković2, Jelena Sopta2, Slađan Pavlović3, Slavica Borković‑Mitić3, Anđelija Ivanović3, Nebojša Jasnić1, Tomislav Tosti4, Saša Đurović5, Jelena Đorđević1 & Zoran Todorović2,6 Acute ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) liver injury is a clinical condition challenging to treat. Meldonium is an anti‑ischemic agent that shifts energy production from fatty acid oxidation to less oxygen‑ consuming glycolysis. Thus, we investigated the efects of a 4‑week meldonium pre‑treatment (300 mg/kg b.m./day) on the acute I/R liver injury in Wistar strain male rats. Our results showed that meldonium ameliorates I/R‑induced liver infammation and injury, as confrmed by liver histology, and by attenuation of serum alanine‑ and aspartate aminotransferase activity, serum and liver high mobility group box 1 protein expression, and liver expression of Bax/Bcl2, haptoglobin, and the phosphorylated nuclear factor kappa‑light‑chain‑enhancer of activated B cells. Through the increased hepatic activation of the nuclear factor erythroid 2‑related factor 2, meldonium improves the antioxidative defence in the liver of animals subjected to I/R, as proved by an increase in serum and liver ascorbic/dehydroascorbic acid ratio, hepatic haem oxygenase 1 expression, glutathione and free thiol groups content, and hepatic copper‑zinc superoxide dismutase, manganese superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase activity. Based on our results, it can be concluded that meldonium represent a protective agent against I/R‑induced liver injury, with a clinical signifcance in surgical procedures. Acute ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) refers to a temporary abolishment of blood fow during surgical interventions, followed by its re-establishment once an intervention is fnished 1.

  • Icarus Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmclub.com Icarus Discussion Guide Director: Bryan Fogel Year: 2017 Time: 121 min You might know this director from: This is the debut feature-length documentary from this director. FILM SUMMARY Filmmaker Bryan Fogel has long been a semi-serious cyclist, participating in amateur races the world over, even going so far as to compete in the Haute Route, an annual tour through the French Alps that he’s described as “the single hardest amateur bike race in the world.” Without the aid of performance enhancing drugs, Fogel finished 14th in a field of more than four hundred. But, he wondered, how well would he do if he had been doped up? Not only that, but if he went on a professional doping regimen, could he document his experience and use it to expose the dangers of doping and the systemic flaws in the anti-doping test practices, as Morgan Spurlock had done so successfully with the fast food industry in SUPER SIZE ME? This is where ICARUS began, but no one could have guessed where this inquiry would lead. In a stroke of luck, Fogel successfully enlisted the top Russian anti-doping expert, Grigory Rodchenkov, to assist him with plotting out and following through with his very first doping regimen. He communicated with the jovial scientist via Skype, until they meet in person months later to complete some initial tests of Bryan’s progress. But why would an anti-doping expert agree to collaborate on this illegal project? Fogel had the same question. As it turned out, Rodchenkov and his lab were under investigation by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) for possible crimes related to doping during the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.
