he authors present the case of a 17-year-old boy who suffered a cervical spinal injury as a result of the sharp bending of the head after slipping (without falling). After about 30 minutes, he began to feel tingling in the limbs and he developed tetraparesis. He went through physical rehabili-tation, psychological rehabilitation, occupational therapy, and periodic catheterization. Additionally, we introduced to him a low dose of analog granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). G-CSF 5 μg/kg was given subcutaneously daily for 5 days per month for 3 months, again after 6 months, and again after 10 months. The boy could sit indecently and walk with assistance. A significant increase in muscle strength in this patient with tetraplegia after 10 months of treatment may indicate beneficial effects of G-CSF in this disorder.

The authors report an unusual case of a 15-year-old boy who dove into a shallow lake and suffered a cervical fracture of C5 affecting the spinal cord. This resulted in tetraplegia. Vitamin D3 deficiency and a history of several bone fractures supported an idea that the patient's bone structure had been weakened. The deep vein thrombosis of lower limb and neurogenic heterotopic ossification of a hip limited the effectiveness of physical therapy.

The following study discusses Europe’s identity focussing upon questions such as how Europa’s destiny-the next of kin from Greek mythology-has influenced that of the continent, the relationship between Europe and its nations or Europe’s role in the world. According to French anthropologist Annick de Souzenelle. there is a lunar, that is female and a solar, that is a male side to both Europa and Europe but whereas the mythical figure failed to find and integrate the opposite within herself, Europe does still have the opportunity to discover its solar aspects and reach unity within itself and the world as a whole. Apart from the theory the present paper also tries to give examples from different fields of study such as politics, philosophy and literature, which shall underline Europe’s fe/male identity and role. e. g. Winston Churchill's Iron Curtain Speech. Jose Ortega y Gasset’s Meditation on Europe. Sándor Márai’s Europe’s Abduction or Czeszlaw Milosz’s Native Realm.

The article is an attempt at addressing the problem of "masculinity" as a historically privileged category in the social and philosophical tradition. In the dichotomous gender system, femininity is usually valued as aesthetic quality, while masculinity stands as an ethical value. This distinction, suggesting the subordinated and disadvantaged position of "femininity" derives from ancient philosophy and biblical tradition and was strengthened not only by philosophical writings but also by symbolic, legal, economic and social practices. By sketching a review of positions and confronting the stereotypical image of "masculinity" with the complex reality of multiple forms of masculine expressions, the article brings the situation of "masculinity" in the world organized by the phallogocentric symbolic order.

The novel Umělohmotný třípokoj by Petra Hůlová is a story of a thirty-year old prostitute working privately, who with calmness and through an emotionless monologue acquaints the reader with the world of her profession. The novel is rich in illustrations of how the boundaries of womanhood and manhood frequently function in culture. The way that literature perceives the roles and attributes in Hůlováʼs book was confronted with the feminist thoughts and the gender reflection in the postmodern cultural discourse. By drafting borders between both sexes, the author implies that they confine the women and the man within structural frames that are impossible to break by human mind and mentality. The most visible example is the main character of the novel who breaks out of the model of a prostitute dependant on men by posing as an independent woman. In fact, she becomes trapped within new borders fixed by the contemporary world.

Many African societies are patriarchal, based on the supremacy of the male over the female. According to Mba (2009, p.322), “emancipation of females is one of the greatest achievements of the women’s struggle globally”. As a continent, African culture accords a superior status to the male such that strength, freedom, independence, honour, courage and other positive attributes are ascribed to the male gender, while attributes of weakness, fear, dependence among others are ascribed to the female gender. Crimes of less magnitude are considered as “female” crimes and attract less stiff punishment. The killing of Ezeudu’s first son by Okonkwo in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart for example, is described as a female crime. On the nature of the crime, Achebe writes “the crime was of two kinds, male and female, Okonkwo committed the female because it had been inadvertent. He could return to the clan after some years” (p.87). In this paper, the Feminist theory is used to examine the portraiture of females in two short stories by two African female writers. In this article, the family is categorise as a fundamental part of the social life of Africans, it attempts to expose the bias of African culture against the female in favour of the male, and consider how this social reality impacts negatively on the female psyche. The stories reveal that women themselves aggravate the situation by working against themselves. We conclude that female empowerment is a must for all females, and that just as governments are projecting education for all by the year 2020, the women’s movement should also target education for all females by the year 2020, because as the stories reveal, the educated female character fares better in the society than her less literate counterpart.

This paper analyzes the issue of gender problems, the process of genderization of the personality, the gender socialization. Despite the transformational trends, contemporaryUkrainian society is characterized by gender stereotypes. The different points of scholars’ views about the lack of harmonious relations among school age children are analyzed. The necessity of using gender component in the educational process is defined. It is pointed out that in the process of gender socialization, which provides a person’s awareness of their sexual independence and behavior throughout life according to it, the most effective are the mechanisms of imitation and identification. Starting with coping the behavior of their parents (girls trying to be more like the mother, the boys – like father), the child moves on, choosing new examples of gender behavior both real and unreal (the book characters, the heroes of fairy tales and so on). The suggestion of gender norms is often used by society as a means to influence individuals. So, in a society often evoke gender stereotypes and standards of conduct, that are not based on logic and not explaining the reasons for their imitation. It is noted that modern society is undergoing fundamental changes, providing the need for further development of the gender approach in pedagogy, as well as providing targeted development of youth gender culture. Among these changes are: converting egalitarism in one of the priority directions of the state policy of the majority of countries in the world, forcing a rethinking of the role and place of women in society; changing cultural stereotypes of masculinity and femininity, loss of polarity; scrapping the traditional system of gender stratification, easing stiffness in the definition of male and female social roles, the elimination of normativityin the traditional gender division of labour; changes in gender characteristics of marriage and family relations:acquisition of new high-quality properties: activation of marriage and family egalitarization; mutual contribution of men and women in their wellbeing; the spread of consensual, business forms of marriage and serial monogamy; objective changes in marriage and family status of modern women: reduction the role of the family as the traditional value for her, the growing importance of the values beyond the family (education, career, prestige, financial income and so on), focus on the one child or even on childlessness; objective changes in marriage and family status of the modern man: the loss of the traditional «breadwinner», the reduction of socializing role of fatherhood;deepening of the general tendency of family relations on the change of value orientations, in the centre of which is the family group and the individual;reorientation of the process of formation of the child’s personality with traditional, clearly fixed gender behaviors in mixed or inversive model that has significant negative consequences for society.

Occupational roles in the context of gender stereotypes are subject to a growing number of research explorations. This is mainly due to ongoing changes in female and male social functioning, including occupational roles. The discussion presented in this article concerns the functioning of males in female-dominated occupations. The aim of the research was to diagnose the opinion of active teachers on the functioning of males in female-dominated occupations in the context of gender stereotypes. Attention was also drawn to the opinions of the respondents concerning the consequences of stereotypical evaluation of males’ work in professions dominated by females.

Role zawodowe w kontekście stereotypów płci są przedmiotem eksploracji badawczych coraz częściej podejmowanych przez naukowców. Wynika to przede wszystkim z zachodzących przemian w pełnieniu przez kobiety i mężczyzn ról społecznych, w tym ról zawodowych. Podjęte rozważania dotyczą funkcjonowania mężczyzn w sfeminizowanych zawodach. Celem badań była diagnoza opinii czynnych zawodowo nauczycieli na temat funkcjonowania mężczyzn w zawodach sfeminizowanych w kontekście stereotypów płci. Zwrócono również uwagę na opinie badanych odnośnie do konsekwencji stereotypowej oceny wykonywania pracy przez mężczyzn w zawodach zdominowanych przez kobiety.

Choć zgodnie z teorią reprodukcji, przedstawioną przez Arystotelesa w traktacie De generatione animalium, zadaniem samca w procesie rozrodu jest zawsze przekazywanie formy, natomiast samica dostarcza materii, w przypadku zwierząt krwistych również samce spełniają swoją funkcję za pomocą materialnego narzędzia, zwanego nasieniem bądź płynem nasiennym. Arystoteles opisuje go jako rodzaj piany, złożonej z wody, ziemi i pneumy, która, będąc nośnikiem ciepła życiowego, czyni nasienie płodnym. Ponieważ płyn nasienny wytwarzany jest z krwi – ostatniej formy pożywienia, przeznaczonej to tego, aby stać się budulcem dla wszystkich części organizmu zwierzęcia, którego serce ją wytwarza – jest on wyposażony w ten sam ruch (lub raczej zestaw ruchów), za pomocą którego rośnie ciało danego zwierzęcia. W procesie reprodukcji ruchy te nie tylko więc przekazują potomstwu samą zasadę ruchu i formę gatunkową, lecz również dążą do odtworzenia w ciele potomka indywidualnych cech ojca. Z tej właśnie przyczyny samce, które nie wytwarzają nasienia, nie są w stanie spłodzić potomstwa podobnego do siebie. W artykule staram się również wykazać, że przekazywanie cech jednostkowych zależy nie tylko od zawartej w nasieniu pneumy, lecz również „ziemistego elementu” tworzącego jej otoczkę, ponieważ, poprzez zachowywanie i intensyfikowanie życiowego ciepła, przyczynia się on do zwiększenia efektywności wspomnianych ruchów.

Although, according to Aristotle’s theory of reproduction, in the process of generation a male always transmits form and a female provides matter, in the blooded animals males perform their function with the use of a material tool known as semen or a seminal fluid. Aristotle describes it as a kind of foam consisting of water, earth and pneuma; the last one, being a vehicle of vital heat, causes semen to be fertile. As a seminal fluid is produced from blood – the final stage of useful nourishment, intended to turn into each of body parts of the particular animal whose heart produces it – it is endowed with the same movement or, rather, the same set of movements as that in virtue of which the animal’s body grows. In the process of reproduction these movements not only transmit to the offspring the principle of movement and specific form, but they also attempt to recreate in the offspring’s body individual features of the particular father. For this reason, males which do not emit semen fail to generate offspring that look like themselves. In this paper I also try to demonstrate that the transmission of individual hereditary characteristics depends not only on pneuma enclosed in the semen, but also on „an earthy element” which forms the envelope, because by preserving and increasing the vital heat it improves the efficiency of the movements.

Rola i lokalizacja mężczyzny w przestrzeni bibliotecznej nie jest zjawiskiem ani nowym, ani specjalnie trudnym dla badacza zagadnienia. Tak wielu autorów różnych publikacji określiło już tę rolę, opisało kontekst, zbadało formę i zdiagnozowało problem. Jednak wciąż brakuje ostatecznej kontestacji tematu, a w szczególności doniosłości i znaczenia mężczyzn w zawodach sfeminizowanych i w ogóle – osób o odmiennej płci w zawodach stypizowanych. Pewne asocjacje ośmielają nas do postawienia pytań i poszukania odpowiedzi, czy rzeczywiście takie osoby są „uprzywilejowane" na drodze awansu i wręcz namaszczone dzięki swojej płci do zajmowania kierowniczych stanowisk. Ważkim pozostaje również pytanie o znaczenie tych osób w kreowaniu pracownika nowego typu – androgyna pozostającego przy własnej płci, ale z cechami psychicznymi charakterystycznymi zarówno dla kobiet, jak i mężczyzn.

The role and placement of a male librarian in the library is a phenomenon, which is neither new, nor particularly difficult for a researcher in this field. Many authors of various publications have established that role, described the context, examined the form and diagnosed the problem. However, there is still lack of definitive contestation of the subject, in particular that of significance and purpose of men in feminized professions – and, in general, persons of opposite genders in categorized professions. Some associations encourage us to raise questions and search for answers – are such persons actually “privileged” on the promotion line, or even assigned – owing to their gender – to occupy management positions. An important question that remains concerns the significance of such persons in creating a new type of employee - a man adhering to his gender, but with mental attributes specific to both males and females.

Aim. The aims of this study were to analyze time motion (non- fighting, fighting and stoppage phases) of cadet athletes according to their gender (male or female) and weight category (light, middle and heavy) participating in the 2014 World Cadet Taekwondo Championships. Methods. The analysis included 4,535 phases by 80 athletes in 47 semi- and finals bouts in the first WTF World Cadet Taekwondo Championship. Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests for pair comparisons were conducted to test the differences between the duration of activity phases (i.e. non-fighting, fighting and stoppage) in relation to weight category and gender.Results. The results obtained show that females had longer fighting, non-fighting and stoppage phases than males. By weight cat-egory, heavyweight athletes engaged in longer non- fighting phases than lightweight fighters and longer stoppage phases than middleweight athletes. Heavyweight females had longer fighting phases than males, middleweight females had longer phases than males and lightweight females had longer phases than males (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusions. The activity profile in taekwondo cadet competition was influenced by the competitors’ gender and weight category. Females had longer phases than males, while heavyweight athletes had longer non-fighting phases than the other weight catego-ries and middleweights had shorter stoppage phases than heavyweights. These findings suggest the need for specific training for both genders in each weight category when planning training for cadet taekwondo competitors

Cel. Celem pracy była analiza czasu ruchu (faza bez walki, walki i postoju) kadetów w zależności od ich płci (mężczyzna lub kobieta) i kategorii wagowej (lekkiej, średniej i ciężkiej) biorą-cych udział w Mistrzostwach Świata Kadetów Taekwondo 2014. Metody. Analiza obejmowała 4,535 faz 80 zawodników w 47 półfinałowych i finałowych walkach w pierwszych Mistrzo-stwach Świata Kadetów WTF w Taekwondo. Przeprowadzono test Kruskala Wallisa i test U Manna-Whitney’a dla porówna-nia par, aby sprawdzić różnice pomiędzy czasem trwania faz aktywności (tj. w czasie bez walki, walki i postoju) w odnie-sieniu do kategorii wagowej i płci.Wyniki. Uzyskane wyniki pokazują, że zawodniczki odby-wały dłuższe fazy walki, bez walki i postoju niż zawodnicy. W zależności od kategorii wagowej, zawodnicy wagi ciężkiej brali udział w dłuższych fazach bez walki niż zawodnicy wagi lek-kiej i dłuższych fazach postoju niż zawodnicy wagi średniej. Zawodniczki w ciężkiej kategorii wagowej odbywały dłuższe fazy walki niż mężczyźni, zawodniczki wagi średniej miały dłuższe fazy walki niż mężczyźni, a zawodniczki wagi lekkiej odbywały dłuższe fazy walki niż zawodnicy (p ≤ 0,05).Wnioski. Na profil aktywności w zawodach kadetów taekwondo wpływ miała płeć i kategoria wagowa zawodników. Zawod-niczki odbywały dłuższe fazy walki niż mężczyźni, natomiast zawodnicy wagi ciężkiej mieli dłuższe fazy bez walki niż pozo-stałe kategorie wagowe. Zawodnicy wagi średniej mieli krótsze fazy postoju niż zawodnicy wagi ciężkiej. Wyniki te sugerują potrzebę specjalnego treningu dla obu płci w każdej kate-gorii wagowej przy planowaniu treningów dla zawodników taekwondo w kategorii kadetów.
