The system of preventing and resolving alcohol-related problems used in Poland gives municipalities (gminas), as territorial units, the fundamental role in it. The municipality council is obliged to establish a number of programmes on the basis of the act on municipality self-government, as well as the regulations of other acts, including the Act of 26th October 1982 on Upbringing in Sobriety and Counteracting Alcoholism (A.U.S.C.A.) of the Municipality Programme for Preventing and Resolving Alcohol-related Problems (LCPP&RAP). The programme takes into account the areas of action listed in Article 41 section 1 of the A.U.S.C.A. and the indications included in the recommendations developed by the National Agency for Resolving Alcohol-related Problems. It should be emphasized that the implementation of tasks in the field of preventing and resolving alcohol-related problems under the programme is part of the strategy for resolving social problems, and takes into account the operational objectives set out in the National Health Programme. The regulations of the A.U.S.C.A. also provide the municipality witha significant role in implementing actions to tackle alcohol addiction. The actions are taken on three levels by: (1) appointing a local community committee for resolving problems (Article 41 section 3), (2) determining within resolutions the maximum number of permits for the sale of alcoholic beverages and the rules of locating places of sale and serving alcoholic beverages (Article 12 sections 1–3), (3) issuing permits for the sale of alcohol (Article 18 section 1) and monitoring the legitimacy of using these permits (Article 18 section 8). In addition, the LCPP&RAP provides solutions regarding forms, methods and projects undertaken by the municipality. It is important to note that the municipality self-government, as a result of decentralization of the state, has received extensive competence to conduct its own policy on alcohol-related problems, which is why its role is crucial.

Education, which is the subject of education for security enables the development of various forms of human behavior. Majority of Roma people are generally perceived as a homogeneous group which is different and lives on the margins of society. Social exclusion and discrimination of Roma in public affairs is an important factor influencing the access of Roma to employment, education, culture and other public services. The problem of the Roma is one of many themes that resonates in our society. It is not only Slovak problem, but also worldwide, but mainly European. I travel abroad seeking access to this ethnic group.

Due to WHO – health is a physical, psychical and social welfare. The collapse of health is serious threats of safety. Only healthy man may be liable to education, will participate in organizational processes, actively and creatively incorporate processes aimed at improving safety culture and defense, which serves harmonious development of certain entities and achieving safety in its broad sense. Meanwhile fatigue, caused by unhealthy lifestyle or physico-somatic changes, reduces feeling of welfare which is equivalent of safety. Taking adequate measures to minimize subjective feeling of lack of welfare might contribute to increasing our effectiveness and creativity and, at the same time, to improve conditions to our safety.

The goal of the Second Step Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Program is to promote five social-emotional skills. The skills are self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making. The Second Step Program has been used in the Czech Republic since 2015. This paper introduces a small part of the research project carried out by the Psychology Department of Palacký University in Olomouc, called The Second Step Program – Effectiveness Research in the Czech Republic. The main goal of the presented research was to evaluate the effect of the Program on children’s creativity and self-concept. The data were obtained by means of Urban’s Test for creative thinking and Piers-Harris Self Concept Scale. The research sample consisted of 77 3rd grade students, 46 of them were in the experimental group (they worked with the Second Step Program for 5 months), 31 in the control group. After statistical testing the previously defined hypotheses were confirmed, therefore it is possible to say that the Second Step Program has a positive impact on creativity and selfconcept. The total creativity score increased by 12 points after 5 months of the program (in the control group only by 1,5 points). The total self-concept score increased by 4,7 points (in the control group by 0,4). Subsequent statistical analyses of self-concept subscales were performed. Statistically significant effect was seen in Intellectual and School Status subscales; Freedom from Anxiety; Popularity; Happiness and Satisfaction. Several factors that might have influenced the results were discussed. Firstly, the number of participants was quite low. That is the reason why it is not possible to generalize the results. Secondly, during the second testing period the experimental group was only in the middle of the program. Moreover, the research was not longitudinal, so only the immediate effect was verified. Those are factors that might need to be controlled in the future researches. However, in every Primary Prevention Program there are many factors that cannot be controlled so easily, such as personality of the program conductor, the examiner’s influence or the immediate situation (participants´ mood or their weariness). On the other hand, the main aim of the research was to obtain primary data on the topic and to set an organisational and methodological framework for other researches and that was fulfilled. The main recommendations are: to involve more participants in the research, to make the research longitudinal and to let the experimental group to undergo all program lessons. Even though the effect of social-emotional programs on creativity and self-concept has not been thoroughly explored and studies on that topic are rare, we believe that it is very important to understand those phenomena as they are essential for social and emotional wellbeing of every child. However, traditional researches on the topic, such as the effect of social-emotional learning on the level of social-emotional skills, or the reduction of aggression, have an important role as well. That is why the research project of our department consists of several smaller researches, which will be followed by a research of a larger scale.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most frequent neurological disorder associated with perinatal injury of the developing brain. The beneficial impact of stem cells (neural stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and embryonic stem cells) is mediated through soluble trophic factors and other cytokines that enable the body to re-establish homeostasis after pathologic and traumatic insults, inflammation, and tissue infarction or degeneration. There is currently no effective therapy for CP. Recently there have been notable advances in the application of cell therapy in neurological disorders. This review provides recent data on the prevention and cell therapy in CP.

Landslides are destructive geological processes that have globally caused deaths and destruction to property worth billion dollars. Landslide occurrences are widespread and prolific in India covering more than 15 per cent of the total area. These are mostly concentrated in the Himalayan belt, parts of Meghalaya Plateau, Nilgiri Hills, Western and Eastern Ghats. The slope failure in the hilly terrain is due to geological processes and events. The frequency and magnitude of slope failure also increased due to anthropogenic activities such as road construction, deforestation and urban expansion. Keeping all these problems in mind research focuses on the Lesser Himalaya of Himachal Himalaya as it falls under very high risk zone in case of landslides and comprise of three objectives. They are: a) to analyse the spatial pattern of landslides in the Lesser Himalaya, b) to assess the causes of landslides vulnerability in the study region and c) to suggests some preventive measures to mitigate landslides. In this work an attempt has been made to collect data on landslides incidences and damage from the secondary sources like Geological Survey of India, Building Material and Technology Promotion council from Ministry of Urban Affairs. The methodologies adopted for data analysis are simple tabulations, bar diagrams, statistical and mapping techniques to represent the Landslide vulnerability of the Lesser Himalaya. The analysis of the study reveals that there is increase in the number of landslides. The spatial pattern of landslide shows linear patterns, viz. along roads, rivers or lineaments/ faults. Besides, heavy rainfall, floods and earthquakes enhance the vulnerability condition. The landslides may be part and parcel of the Himalayan landscape, but they can be mitigated by some suitable measures. Few methods of landslide prevention in the study region have been suggested.

Aim: The aim of the study is an attempt to answer the question whether a long-term karate practice exerts influence on the incidence of injuries and what its type and underlying cause. Methods: The research was carried out in July 2013 in Cracow during a karate training camp. 125 people from Poland participated in the study. The participation in research was voluntary and people were informed about its aim and application. The average age was 37,6 ± 11,3 years. The youngest participant was 15 and the oldest 57. Median age was 39 which means that half of participants was not older than 39 and the other half was at least 39. Questionnaire techniques were used in the study. The research tool used to implement the selected technique was survey questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 23 open- and close-ended questions. Results: As results from own research, the greatest number of competitors (38) have suffered from contusion (47,1% of all injury types). This injury types constitutes almost half of all injuries. Among all injury types karate contestants suffered from last year, the most common were contusions (25,6% of all injuries). Conclusions: Karate training is not related to any serious injuries apart from contusions which at the same time are most common injury in this type of training. Contestants’ and training experience are not directly related to injury incidence. An appropriately organized, rational training and using prevention enables to avoid injuries. Circumstances of injury incidence change with contestants’ age and training experience.

Populacja potencjalnych sprawców wykorzystywania seksualnego dzieci (WSD) jest nader słabo zbadana. W niniejszym badaniu chcieliśmy ustalić, czy sześcioelementowy model profilaktyki pierwotnej cukrzycy można zaadaptować do pracy z potencjalnymi sprawcami (przedsprawcami), aby powstrzymać osoby, które mają skłonność do WSD, ale jeszcze nie dopuściły się takiego czynu, przed popełnieniem pierwszego przestępstwa. Model profilaktyki składa się z sześciu elementów: określenia skali problemu; sporządzenia profilu czynników ryzyka, dzięki czemu będzie można zidentyfikować osoby o wysokim ryzyku; opracowania trafnych testów przesiewowych, aby poprawnie zidentyfikować osoby dotknięte chorobą i wykluczyć te, które jej nie mają; przetestowania skuteczności interwencji – takich jak program Dunkenfeld; uzyskania i rozpowszechnienia rzetelnych danych dotyczących wyników interwencji, co pozwoli na uzasadnienie ich powszechnego stosowania; oraz stworzenie systemu ciągłego doskonalenia. Być może zastosowanie modelu profilaktyki pierwotnej cukrzycy do problemu WSD pozwoli na zmniejszenie liczby ofiar wykorzystywania.

The population of potential child abuse offenders has largely been unstudied. In the current study, we examine whether a six-component model used for primary diabetes prevention could be adapted to child sexual abuse pre-offenders, whereby individuals who are prone to sexual abuse but have not yet committed an offense can be prevented from committing a first offense. The six components include: define and track the magnitude of the problem, delineate a well-established risk factor profile so that at-risk persons can be identified, define valid screening tests to correctly rule in those with the disease and rule out those without disease, test effectiveness of interventions— the Dunkelfeld Project is an example, produce and disseminate reliable outcome data so that widespread application can be justified, and establish a system for continuous improvement. By using the diabetes primary prevention model as a model, the number of victims of child sexual abuse might be diminished.
