Contemporary world is distinguished by complex phenomena which have significant influence on an individual and social groups lives. Specificity of the reality called late modernity, radical modernity, fluid modernity and its detailed determinants are the basis for the statement that long-lasting basis for actions and choices of an individual are replaced by temporary and undermined criteria. According to numerous examples social transformations in many societies, on the one hand create extended opportunities for new challenges and chances and on the other hand they determine the necessity to put new questions regarding aims of action, criteria of value selection, preferences and aspirations of various social groups representatives. These issues refer also to the field of education with its all subjects.

Te wheel seems to be an invention which – created at the dawn of human civilisation – does not require any changes. Its implicit perfection is a derivative of the definition of the wheel given in mathematics. However, this simplified point of view needs to be confronted with the conditions of land transport, complete with the uneven surfaces hampering the movement of the wheel. This work presents the subsequent steps, which – during an attempt at a reform of knowledge on land transport – could have led to Józef Hoene-Wroński’s invention of a new type of the wheel. The applied analysis was based on the law of creation developed by the philosopher. Te invention is so revolutionary that it still cannot be accepted by constructors of land vehicles.

Koło wydaje się wynalazkiem, który – dokonany u zarania ludzkiej cywilizacji – nie wymaga żadnych zmian. Jego mniemana doskonałość jest pochodną definicji koła podanej w matematyce. Jednak to uproszczone widzenie należałoby skonfrontować z uwarunkowaniem transportu lądowego, gdzie dochodzą nierówności gruntu utrudniające toczenie się koła. W pracy przedstawiono kolejne kroki, jakie – przy próbie reformy wiedzy o transporcie lądowym – mogły doprowadzić Józefa Hoene-Wrońskiego do wynalezienia nowego rodzaju koła. Zastosowano przy tym analizę według odkrytego przez filozofa prawa tworzenia. Jest to konstrukcja na tyle rewolucyjna, że do dziś nie może być zaakceptowana przez konstruktorów pojazdów lądowych.

This chapter reviews the placebo-phenomenon from the point of view of cognitive/emotional operations. Definitions and the most important terms are followed by the traditional medicine–placebo relationships primarily through the “full medicine effect”. The placebo-theories are reviewed by applying the bio-psycho-social approach, above all focusing on the role of conditioning, suggestions and expectancies, respectively. In concordance with this special approach, we also deal with the neurobiology of the placebo-effect, i.e. with the known and supposed brain mechanisms, respectively. The application of the placebo-effect in pathological conditions is demonstrated through depression, and then the role of consciousness and motivations in the phenomenon is explored. Because of its clinical significance, the nocebo-effect is also shortly overviewed together with its role in iatrogenic damage and in non-required side effects. The final summary tries to place the placebo-phenomenon in context with the clinical settings.

Systematic psychological studies of procrastination started quite recently – in the late eighties. Scientists suggest that procrastination concerns many people, most often, however, it occurs among students. The percentage of affected reaches 70–95%. Despite that, not many studies looking at Polish students have been carried out. The aim of the current study was to analyze a relationship between chosen individual characteristics (personality traits), self-esteem, self-efficiency and procrastination among students. The experiment used: Procrastination Questionnaire, Personality Inventory (NEO-FFI), Self-Assessment Scale and a Generalised Effectiveness Scale. 140 participants were empoloyed (75 females and 65 males). No gender difference in terms of procrastination was found. The most important predictive factor of procrastination was conscientiousness. Other important factors were time management and being systematic, strong will, the awareness of procrastination, procrastination as a trait, and a lack of punctuality. Weak predictors, significant only for some scales measuring procrastination, were: extroversion, neuroticism, openness, self-esteem and self-efficiency. The research, however, needs a continuation, because procrastination can lead to serious problems.

Background and Problem. Taekwondo is an Olympic sport characterized by the extensive use of kicking techniques which require a significant amount of explosive force and agility [Valdes-Badilla et al. 2014; Perez-Gutierrez et al. 2015]. It is considered an intermittent-high intensity short duration discipline, in which the predominance of the aerobic and anaerobic systems is alternated [Campos et al. 2012; Bridge et al. 2009; Herrera et al. 2014; Matsushigue et al. 2009; Santos et al. 2011; Thompson, Vinueza 1991]. The aim of this study is thus to determine the effects of a 16-week multi-component training programme on the physical fitness of a group of young taekwondo athletes. Material and Methods. A group of 22 well- trained athletes (8.8. ± 0.5 years old, body mass 34.6 ± 6.7 kg, height 1.35 ± 0.1 m, and BMI 18.8 ± 2.7) was trained throughout the 16 weeks The training volume was divided in a constant ratio of 60% specific taekwondo training and 40% multi- component training. The multi-component training was divided into strength (10%), endurance (10%), speed (20%), agility (30%) and flexibility (30%) training. The athletes’ performance in long jump, in the number of abdominal crunches completed in 30s and in speed-agility tests as well as their flexibility were measured before and after the 16-week training period. Results. After the 16-week training period, an increase in long jump performance was observed in both the boys (p<0.01; ES=1.60) and the girls (p<0.05; ES=0.74). Likewise, improvements in the abdominal crunches in 30s test for both genders (boys, p<0.01; ES=1.50; girls, p<0.05; ES=0.89) were observed. Additionally, performance in the speed-agility test was improved in both the boys (p<0.01: ES=-1.37) and the girls (p<0.05; ES=-1.16). No significant differences were observed in the “sit and reach” test after the intervention. Conclusions. In conclusion, a multi- component training programme, in the initial stages of the sport, can be an effective way of improving physical fitness and consequently the performance of young taekwondo athletes in competition.

Problem. Taekwondo jest sportem olimpijskim charakteryzującym się szerokim wykorzystaniem technik kopnięć, które wymagają dużej siły rażenia i zwinności. Taekwondo uznaje się za dyscyplinę o krótkotrwałej przerywanej wysokiej intensywności, w których systemy tlenowe i beztlenowe przeważają naprzemiennie. Celem badania było określenie wpływu 16-tygodniowego wieloskładnikowego programu treningowego na sprawność fizyczną w grupie młodych zawodników taekwondo. Materiał i metody. Grupa 22 dobrze wytrenowanych sportowców (8,8 ± 0,5 lat, masa ciała 34,6 ± 6,7 kg, wzrost 1,35 ± 0,1 m i BMI 18,8 ± 2,7) była szkolona w ciągu 16 tygodni w czasie treningów, w których 60% czasu przeznaczono na szkolenia taekwondo i 40% na szkolenia wieloskładnikowe. Trening wieloskładnikowy podzielono na części szkolące: siłę (10%), wytrzymałość (10%), prędkość obrotową (20%), sprawność (30%) i elastyczność (30%). Wyniki w skoku w dal, elastyczności, wykonywanie „brzuszków” w ciągu 30 sekund i testy prędkości oraz sprawności mierzono przed i po 16-tygodniowym okresie treningowym. Wyniki. Po 16- tygodniowym okresie szkolenia, stwierdzono poprawę wyników w skoku w dal u zawodników (p <0,01; ES = 1,60) i zawodniczek (p <0,05; ES = 0,74). Podobna poprawa nastąpiła dla obu płci w ilości wykonywanych brzuszków w ciągu 30 s (chłopcy, p < 0,01; ES = 1,50; dziewczynki, p <0,05; ES = 0,89). Oprócz tego, wyniki w teście szybkości i sprawności poprawiły się u chłopców (p < 0,01: ES = -1,37) i dziewcząt (p <0,05; ES = -1,16). Nie stwierdzono istotnych różnic w testach sprawdzających odległość sięgania w pozycji siedzącej (sit and reach test). Wnioski. Podsumowując, wieloskładnikowy program szkoleniowy, w początkowej fazie trenowania tego sportu, może być skutecznym sposobem na poprawę kondycji fizycznej, a tym samym efektywności młodych zawodników trenujących taekwondo.

Joshua Farris usefully applies my distinction between conditioned and de-conditioned philosophy to some limits of science, and the disclosure of the soul. It is argued that further de-conditioning is conducive to answering the profound philosophical questions: What is it to be now?, and What is it to be? but these answers are only adequate when they entail the existence of God. It follows that physicalism, determinism, and naturalism are false, and that science (knowingly or unknowingly) presupposes theology.
