    Agroturystyka w Dolinie Bugu na terenie Województwa Mazowieckiego / Agritourism in the Bug Valley in the Masovian Voivodeship
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2020-06-01) Radwańska, Katarzyna ; Dąbrowski, Dominik ; Sokół, Janusz Leszek
    W pracy przedstawiono podejmowane formy wypoczynku na wiejskich terenach gmin nadbużańskich województwa mazowieckiego, a także bariery oraz czynniki, które w opinii właścicieli gospodarstw położonych na terenie tych gmin sprzyjają działalności agroturystycznej oraz ekoagroturystycznej. Badania, metodą sondażu diagnostycznego, przeprowadzone zostały w 2018 roku w gminach leżących w dolinie rzeki Bug, położonych na terenie województwa mazowieckiego. Uczestniczyło w nich 36 właścicieli gospodarstw agroturystycznych, których gospodarstwa uznane były za konwencjonalne bądź ekologiczne, lub były w fazie przekształcenia z produkcji konwencjonalnej na ekologiczną. Badania wykazały, iż turyści z form aktywności najczęściej wybierają turystykę pieszą, rowerową oraz spacery, natomiast najrzadziej: angażowanie się w prace gospodarstwa. W opinii respondentów czynnikami mającymi największy wpływ na rozwój agroturystyki w Dolinie Bugu są walory przyrodnicze, a także cisza i spokój panujące w okolicy, natomiast największymi barierami - obawa przed zainwestowaniem, brak własnych środków finansowych oraz trudny dostęp do środków pomocowych.

    Back pain as a factor of disability in women over 50 from Biała Podlaska and the surrounding areas
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2019-12-20) Pocztarska-Głos, Agata ; Sidor, Mirosława ; Gawlik, Krystyna ; Begier, Barbara ; Stępień, Ewa ; Baj-Korpak, Joanna ; Szepeluk, Adam
    Background. Chronic back pain is one of the most common causes of disability. It is a civilisation disease and up to 75% of women over the age of 55 suffer from it. The aim of this study was to assess the degree of disability and limitations in the daily functioning of women with lumbar spine pain depending on socio-demographic factors. Material and methods. T he s tudy included a group of 274 professionally active women aged between 50 and 64 who come from Biała Podlaska, Poland, and the surrounding areas and who completed the Oswestry Disability Index. The responses showed functional limitations of the respondents during performing specific activities due to back pain. The respondents were characterised with regard to their age, place of residence, education and material status. The results were analysed statistically. Results. The most numerous group included women with moderate disability – 41.6%. Lower back pain intensifies when sitting, standing, walking, lifting objects and applies mainly to women from the oldest age group, women having secondary and lower education, women from the city and those whose financial situation is below the average. Conclusions. A sociodemographic factor that differentiates the degree of the women’s disability in a significant way is their material status – the better the financial situation, the less severe the disability. Sociodemographic factors – such as age, education and material status – are strong determinants of functional limitations caused by back pain: women from the oldest age group (60-64 years old) had the biggest problem with walking; women with secondary or lower education experienced difficulty sitting and walking; women whose financial situation is below the average suffered much more difficulties while lifting objects, sitting and socialising.

    Economic aspects of ceramic waste recycling through its use as aggregate in mineral-asphalt mixtures / Ekonomiczne aspekty recyklingu odpadów ceramicznych przez ich wykorzystanie jako kruszywa w mieszankach mineralno-asfaltowych
    ( 2017) Zegardło, Bartosz ; Andrzejuk, Wojciech ; Andrzejewicz, Urszula ; Nitychoruk, Jerzy
    Subject and purpose of work: This article is a continuation of ongoing research; whose primary aim was to show ceramic waste as a full-value substrate for the production of mineral-asphalt mixtures. The authors, basing on the examined characteristics of aggregate obtained in the process of crushing the socalled “ceramic cullet”, present the thesis that this material can be a full-fledged aggregate for concretes used in road construction. The authors emphasize ecological advantages of such a solution. The purpose of this research was to analyse whether such measures as those described above are economically justifiable. Materials and methods: In the article, based on business data, the costs were estimated and compared to the prices of the aggregates used by companies producing asphalt mixtures. Results: Economic comparisons have shown that the costs of described recycling were not satisfactory. Conclusions: Taking into account the ecological effect, it is recommended that ceramic waste is recycled by using it for the production of mineral-asphalt mixes for general use.

    Impact of turquoise management on interdisciplinarity in IT project management / Wpływ turkusowego zarządzania na interdyscyplinarność w zarządzaniu projektami IT
    (Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2024-09-30) Chodyka, Marta ; Pilarska, Justyna
    Subject matter and purpose of work: The article explores the impact of turquoise management on interdisciplinarity in IT project management. The main objective is to explore how the principles of turquoise management, which emphasise self-organisation, collaboration and trust, influence the integration of different disciplines in IT project management. Materials and methods: The study is based on a review of the literature on turquoise management and interdisciplinary approaches in project management. The theoretical foundations of turquoise management and their application in the context of IT projects are analysed. Case studies of organisations that have implemented the principles of turquoise management are also presented. Results: The results indicate that turquoise management fosters interdisciplinary collaboration in IT projects. The principles of self-organisation and trust lead to greater creativity and innovation, resulting in better project outcomes. Conclusions: Turquoise management significantly supports interdisciplinarity in IT project management, making it a valuable approach for organisations seeking to innovate and adapt in a rapidly changing technology environment.

    The life satisfaction of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2021-12-16) Tomczyszyn, Dorota ; Ławnik, Anna ; Szczygielska, Elżbieta
    Background. Life satisfaction is an overall assessment of an individual's satisfaction with life relative to personal standards. People who feel satisfied with their lives can more easily overcome life's challenges, including those associated with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Material and methods. This study aimed to determine the level of life satisfaction (LLS) of Polish nurses. The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) by Diener, Emmons, Larsen, and Griffin adapted to Polish by Juczyński was used. The opinions of 239 nurses were statistically analyzed. Results. The mean life satisfaction score of the studied nurses was 19.78±5.47 points. Low LLS was found in 33.05% of the studied nurses, average LLS in 41,00%, and high LLS in 25.94%. Life satisfaction was influenced by a nurse’s place of residence and marital status. Survival of a SARS-CoV-2 infection had no significant effect on the nurses' life satisfaction. Conclusions. The majority of nurses reported a low to average LLS and steps should be taken to change this situation. It can be hypothesized that higher LLS among nurses will translate into a better quality of patient care.

    The nutritional value and health benefits of sweet corn kernels (Zea mays ssp. saccharata)
    (Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II, 2023-10-19) Baranowska, Alicja
    The aim of this paper was to review scientific studies concerning the nutritional value and healthy properties of sweet corn kernels. Sweet corn (Zea mays ssp. saccharata) is a popular vegetable in America and many European countries. It is also increasingly recognized in Poland. The practical benefits of sugar corn result, among others, from the nutritional value of caryopses and their taste. The review of the literature of the research subject presented in this paper allows us to state that sugar corn caryopses are a source of carbohydrates (simple sugars, starch), protein, vitamins, mineral ingredients, phenolic acids, carotenoids and dietary fiber. The results of chemical analyses prove that sugar corn kernels do not contain gluten; therefore, this plant plays a particularly important role in the nutrition of people with coeliac disease, and corn flour is a valuable product in the food industry. An increasing number of research evidence shows that the regular consumption of wholemeal corn reduces the risk of developing many chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, eye diseases, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and digestive diseases. The analysis of the literature of the research subject allows us to conclude that sugar corn should be a permanent element of everyday diet, particularly because it can be consumed both in a fresh and processed form all year round. Keywords: sweet corn, chemical constitution, nutritional value, health

    The physical activity level declared by students from Belarus
    (Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa im. Papieża Jana Pawła II w Białej Podlaskiej, 2021-04-06) Baj-Korpak, Joanna ; Shpakou, Andrei ; Szepeluk, Adam
    Background. Numerous connections of physical activity with biological indicators and various diseases justify its place in the multifaceted theory of health, thus making it a health measure. The aim of the study was to learn about the physical activity declared by students at Belarusian universities – to determine its level and dominant areas. Material and methods. 739 people studying in Brest, Minsk, and Grodno (Belarus) were surveyed with the long version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Results. The total physical activity of the surveyed students amounted to 4840.5 metabolic equivalent of task (MET) min/week (median), which proves their significant involvement in the broadly understood physical culture. The dominant area of their physical activity proved to be work-related effort (median=1700.6 MET-min/week), while the lowest activity of the respondents was related to sport and recreation. The surveyed men showed higher MET-min/week rates in total physical activity and its components compared with women except for housework. In each of the analyzed variables (gender, Body Mass Index (BMI), self-assessment of physical fitness, and declared amount of spare time), there were statistically significant differences in the physical activity level of the surveyed students. Conclusions. The surveyed men proved to be more active than women in all domains of physical activity except for housework. Respondents with a BMI indicating overweight were more active than those with a normal BMI or those who were underweight. High self-esteem and declaration of lacking spare time are associated with high values of the MET-min/week index.
