Polish Youth Association in Szadek was set up in 1919 at the initiative of Jan Anglik. It was then reorganized in the early 1920s by Father Edward Dyja and Dean Antoni Orzechowski. Afterwards it was successively run by Father Jan Stanisław Żak, Father Józef Gołębiowski and Father Jan Przybysz. It consisted of two sections: female youth and male youth. The program of activity was defined by decrees of the secretariat of Włocławek diocese, headed by Father W. Zawadzki, Father A. Radomski, and next by Father S. Pietruszka. The association organized excursions and pilgrimages (e.g. to Częstochowa and Chariupia Mala). In the field of cultural and educational activity, it organized vocational trainings, days of welfare work, youth rallies, and celebrations on the occasion of religious or national feasts. The aim of the association was formation of young generations of Poles in the spirit of patriotic and Christian values - the youth was involved in religious, social and cultural life of the parish under patronage of the clergy.

The paper presents the author's personal approach towards selected aspects of manifestation of one of the coordination abilities, namely rhythmization. Rhythm creates, orders and shapes spatial and temporal relationships. In motor action its impulse concentrates energy and adjusts it to the form of the movement. It is manifested in the form of timing. Timing controls rhythm, and rhythm develops timing. Rhythm maintains energy expenditure in a given direction and includes pulsating elements of imbalance of this state into it, thus creating cohesion of movement. Rhythm is the key to coordination functions. Also a well selected rhythm finally leads to coherent formation of fluent balance of movement. Besides, harmony serves cohesion and not the other way round. Cohesion. Comprehensive sense of rhythm leads to showing cohesion through orientation and as a result through diversifying integration. The concept of rhythm must be an individual scaffolding of the form of movement, thus becoming an anatomy of a motor action. Eventually, motor action is formed when it is possible to integrate the function and structure in the form of the technique of movement in such a manner that the form of movement presented constitutes a solution to the problem. Energy administered in time and space. Timing, the key competence of rhythmic formation of movement, determines its precision. Proper energy in time and point in space translates into economic control and fully dosed velocity of movement. Measure and tempo. To achieve free formation of motor activity through rhythm of stillness and movement, tempo sets an impulse as a drive to be used in determination of measure, and subsequently its maintenance. Thanks to the measure and pace, "learning through the rhythm" becomes a sensible principle in acquisition and use of movement as such, and not only formation of the movement with music. Fascination with balance in form. Fascination with balance in an alternating game between variants of the form and permanence of the essence is through openness (freedom) and limitation (safety) of the space still arranged again. The measurable nature (or not) of balance (or not) between safety (orientation) and freedom (formation) increases or decreases the intensity of their attractiveness. Rhythm as a personality. In the type of links and the manner of connecting the elements of fluidity a specific peculiarity of the fascinating rhythm is crystallized as a motor peculiarity. And finally: The importance of rhythm convinces [us] first through unanimity in orientation marked with function, subsequently by diversification in an organized combination of structure and finally also through creative integration to the task accentuated by situations and adjusting the technical form to its solution.

Monogenic diabetes are a heterogenic group of diseases with varied phenotypes. It is assumed that they may total up to 10% of all cases of diabetes. Diagnosis of these clinical conditions by an efficient selection of patients for genetic diagnostics may be problematic even for experienced diabetologists. Helpful information about selecting and directing patients for further examinations can be gained from guidelines created by diabetologic societies such as International Society of Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD). This paper focuses on key aspects of these guidelines and elucidates crucial features of the clinical picture which can be used for differential diagnosis of diabetes. Among factors suggesting monogenic background of diabetes the most notable are: low daily insulin requirement (<0.5 U/kg), moderate hyperglycemia (5.5-8.5 mmol/l), positive familial history with a dominant pattern of inheritance, lack of immunologic markers typical for type I diabetes and presence of structural or functional abnormalities within other organs and systems. ISPAD guidelines however, are burdened by some inconsistencies, reflecting different screening and investigative approaches used by various authors. These incongruities have been resolved by the authors of this paper with added suggestions of how to implement relevant solutions in clinical practice. In this article current guidelines on the treatment of monogenic diabetes in children were also presented. Current therapeutic standards were taken into consideration as well as prospects for treatment of selected forms of monogenic diabetes. It will enable in the near future effective and causal treatment of genetic forms of diabetes in children. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the article the danger of the nuclear war and its possible medical, biological as well as environmental consequences for the population of the whole world have been presented. War is determined by political, social and economic problems, but it need not be the only way of solving complex world conflicts. War is generated in human mind and it is only human mind which can prevent it. The world-wide organization called "International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War" (IPPNW) was set up in 1981 to prove that it is better for the mankind to live in peace than to confront the nuclear peril. In case of the nuclear war health service would not be effective at all and the world's population should have no doubts about it. There is no doubt that the radiologists and other physicians, physicists working on radiation and other technical personnel are particularly responsible for popularizing in the society the knowledge of the basic physical facts and of the medical consequences of nuclear danger.
