Research reveals a unique relationship between image representations and emotions. In this context, intrusive mental images could be especially unpleasant and distressing. On the other hand, because of their impact on emotions, images can serve as a support to self-regulation, including regulation of one’s own thoughts. In the article, a thought suppression strategy is proposed that uses images to fight harmful intrusions. This proposition is based on several research areas: studies on image representations properties, the “think/no-think” and the “white bear” thought suppression paradigms, and Lavie’s attention theory The strategy assumes the redirection of attention from unwanted content by using image representations in conditions of maximally freed-up cognitive control resources.

This article introduces problematics of work load and stress. As they have become parts of the work-life balance, they equally affect the quality of life and the wellbeing of a person. Stress load is being induced by both adverse work conditions and work environment which the employee is not able to manage for a longer period of time despite his increased efforts.

This study summarises the most important results of research focused on coping with load among social workers and teachers. The research was focused on relations among personality variables from the five-factor model of personality (Revised NEO Personality Inventory) and coping strategies from COPE inventory. Fourteen relations among personality dimensions and coping variables and fifty-eight relations among facets and coping variables that met the adopted criteria were found within correlation analysis. Neuroticism, Conscientiousness and their facets N1-N6 and C1-C6 should be placed among rather significant personality variables related to coping strategies selection. The regression analysis results indicated that Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to Experience facets O1-O5 and Neuroticism facets N2, N4-N6 should have been placed among rather significant coping predictors. The research confirmed that personality factors evidently ranked among appreciable determinants of coping strategies selection. Nevertheless, reliable coping prediction based only on personality factors is not possible. The assumption was corroborated that some facets can be better coping predictors than personality dimensions.

Background Musculoskeletal disorders mainly affecting the spine constitute one of the major social problems. Frequently, they constitute the cause of prolonged absence at work. Working in a fire brigade is specific because of the physical strain, working time under adverse conditions or stress related to rescue operations. Material and Methods The study group comprised 61 firefighters, 60 men (98.36%) and 1 woman (1.64%). The age of examined firefighters ranged 20–56 years old. The average age of the examined persons was 33.77 years old and the average working service in a fire brigade was 9.59 years. The following research instruments were applied as the study methods: own survey, the Numerical Rating Scale, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) – long version and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire. The Pearson correlation coefficient at significance level of p < 0.05 was used for determining the dependencies among the variables. Results Knowledge of ergonomic lifting and handling principles concerning heavy loads was reported by 84% of the group, the remaining 16% declared ignorance of such rules. The dependence of pain on the length of service of the examined was insignificant and amounted to 0.281 Pearson’s r. The results of the ODI questionnaire did not significantly change statistically with age. Conclusions The IPAQ confirmed the high level of physical activity of the study population. Even though the study group was small, the results of ODI showed a minor degree of disability. Med Pr 2018;69(4):365–373

The article analyzes age characteristics of students during power sports classes in higher education institutions, examines morphological, functional and psychological characteristics of this age group. Considering factors that determine the student’s ability to achieve positive results in the development of strength and muscle mass during power sports classes turned out to be of special importance. This is a type of muscle fiber. The structure of muscle fibers could be of two types: slow and fast contractile. These types of fibers are different relatively independentfunctional units with different morphological, biochemical and contractile properties. Slow fibers have a low rate of contraction, a large number of mitochondria (energy stores), high activity of oxidative processes and high vascularization (capillarization), much glycogen. Fast fibers have fewer capillaries, mitochondria number, high glycolytic capacity, high-speed reduction. Slow muscle fibers are the most suitable to perform long aerobic work. They can force low power for a long time. Fast muscle fibers are adapted to the anaerobic nature of work. They develop high-power short-term efforts. With age, there is an increase in muscle mass and strength. After reaching physiological maturity, the development of muscle mass is even. Boys have a higher percentage of muscles than girls do. The difference in the number forms in the presence of male sex hormone – testosterone, resulting in the fact that men have well-developed muscular system than women. Students with a relatively short length of the muscle can carry the load with a large burden, and the relatively long have greater potential in the development of muscular effort; place the tendon insertion. Muscle strength depends on where the tendon inserts, giving preference to biomechanical moving. The student age is the age of the final stage, followed by a period of relative stabilization of all forms of motor characteristics. Physical education and sports in this period are the most important means of physical development, hardening of the body, a high level of strength, speed, endurance, coordination, good functional status, knowledge bases of sports health, develop sustainable habits to regular exercise, natural, biological basis for development of personal qualities.

W pracy przedstawiono wpływ zarysowania na prędkość podłużnych fal akustycznych w elemencie żelbetowym pod obciążeniem. Badania przeprowadzono na belce o wymiarach 120 × 300 × 6300 mm wykonanej w zakładzie prefabrykacji. Pokazano, iż powstawaniu rys towarzyszy spadek prędkości propagacji fal nawet o ponad 50%. Analiza prędkości rozchodzenia się podłużnych fal akustycznych w elementach pod obciążeniem jest perspektywą opracowania metody nieniszczącej oceny stanu technicznego konstrukcji betonowych. Efektem pomiaru jest spadek prędkości fal do pewnego poziomu degradacji materiału.

This paper presents effect of cracks formation on the velocity of longitudinal acoustic waves in reinforced concrete element under load. Experiments were carried out on 120 × 300 × 6300 mm prefabricated beams. It was found, that formation of cracks causes attenuation of elastic wave (acoustic) velocity of over 50%. Hence, analysis of the elastic wave velocity can be used for structures diagnosis. Research will be carried out to develop non-destructive method for evaluation of technical state of reinforced concrete structures, which is based on the of longitudinal wave velocity.
