This article is the first approach analyzing the non-pollen palynomorphs types (NPP) occurring in palynological samples from the peats profiles of the Lublin Polesie region, which are substantial bioindicators of paleohydrological changes in the Holocene. The analysis of NPP was made in peat samples from three sites: Płotycze, Mytycze and Durne Bagno. A dozen or so NPPs types have been described, among which there were microfossils of animal origin: Habrotrocha angusticolis, Copepoda spermatophores, Turbellaria and testate amoebae: (Assulina muscorum, Arcella artocrea, Arcella discoides, Archerella flavum) and also microfossils of fungal origin: Microthyrium, HdV 13, Helicoon pluriseptatum, Bryophytomyces sphagni. Diagrams of percentage participation of NPPs in the three profiles (Figs. 3–5) allowed to distinguish NPPs zones with variable participation of particular types of NPPs and to interpret them against the background of selected pollen types of water and rush vegetation as well as Sphagnum spores for paleohydrological changes. The highest variability of paleohydrological conditions was recorded in the Durne Bagno peat bog. The same types of non-pollen palynomorphs are common in peat bogs of the European Lowlands. Most of them are cosmopolitan species. Identified NPPs in peat bogs of the Lublin Polesie are in accordance with the descriptions provided by the international determination keys.

Artykuł stanowi pierwsze opracowanie typów mikrofosyliów pozapyłkowych (ang. non-pollen palynomorphs; NPP) występujących w próbkach palinologicznych z torfowisk Polesia Lubelskiego i stanowiących istotne bioindykatory zmian paleohydrologicznych w holocenie. Analizie na obecność NPP poddano torfy z trzech stanowisk: Płotycze, Mytycze i Durne Bagno. Oznaczono kilkanaście typów NPP wśród których występowały mikrofosylia pochodzenia zwierzęcego i grzybowego. Te same typy mikrofosyliów pozapyłkowych są powszechnie w torfowiskach Niżu Europejskiego. Większość z nich stanowią bowiem gatunki kosmopolityczne. Zidentyfikowane NPP w torfach Polesia Lubelskiego są zgodne z opisami zawartymi w międzynarodowych kluczach do oznaczania.
Emergency following the COVID-19 pandemic has forced educational institutions in over 190 countries to close, and teachers worldwide worked hard to adapt their curriculum to an online format and face multiple related challenges. The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on teachers’ performance and verify whether this change may have been justified by individual resilience, self-compassion and awe levels. The respondents perceived a significant drop in performance following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic across all investigated subscales. Preliminary data obtained in this study indicate that this drop may be explained by a link between performance and Awe, Resilience and Self-Compassion.
The coronavirus pandemic has turned out to be the biggest challenge the modern educational systems across the world have ever faced. Many teachers observed as their well-being plummeted as they started to overwhelmingly worry about the health of their families, as they were facing confusing instructions, unclear expectations or technical difficulties. The purpose of this qualitative study is to diagnose the role of educational coaching in stimulating the well-being of teachers during the pandemic of COVID-19. The results indicate that educational coaching can help teachers improve their well-being during the pandemic when teachers need to change their role - from classroom to remote - and succeed under a new set of circumstances.
The study focused on reconstruction of the extreme hydrological changes within the bog surrounding the lake Płotycze near Sobibór over the past 200 years. The site has been located within the reserve „Three Lakes”, in the Sobibór Landscape Park. The main aim was to determine the intensity of these changes and to determine the extent to which allogeneic and indigenous factors resulted in the functioning of peat bog. Analysis consisted of 0.60 m peat core extracted from the northwestern part of the bog, including the youngest periods in the history of the bog. This section, as follows directly from historical data, is also a carrier of data on intensive human impact on the area. As a research method testate amoebae analysis was used. These organisms belong to the dominant group of peat microorganisms. The results obtained enabled to determine two main paleohydrology phases in the last 200 years of the peat bog history. These phases have been correlated with historical data and with the results of previous studies carried out in the peat bog, i.e. reconstruction of water level changes based on data mapping using GIS tools and the study of plant communities.
