Abstract: The crisis management system is an inviolable part of national security. The main element of the Crisis Management System is the Armed Forces, which are subject to the National Defense Center. This article presents the Polish Armed Forces, including the comprehensive and detailed structure and tasks of individual cells. Another issue raised by the author at work is the characteristics of the procedures and undertakings of the crisis response system. The last aspect described in the article are examples of crisis response operations in which the Polish Armed Forces participated, indicating a significant role in their course.Streszczenie: System zarządzania kryzysowego jest nienaruszalną częścią bezpieczeństwa narodowego. Natomiast podstawowym elementem Systemu Zarządzania Kryzysowego są Siły Zbrojne, które podlegają Resortowi Obrony Narodowej. W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono Siły Zbrojne RP, uwzględniając całościową i szczegółową strukturę oraz zadania poszczególnych komórek. Kolejnym zagadnieniem poruszanym przez autorkę w pracy jest charakterystyka procedur oraz przedsięwzięć systemu reagowania kryzysowego. Ostatnim aspektem opisanym w artykule są przykłady operacji reagowania kryzysowego, w których uczestniczyły Siły Zbrojne RP, wskazując znaczącą rolę w ich przebieg

Case-control study to detect protective factors on pig farms with low Salmonella prevalence

The prevalence of Salmonella in UK pigs is amongst the highest in Europe, highlighting the risk to public health and the need to investigate on-farm controls. The objective of this study was to identify factors currently in operation on pig farms that had maintained a low Salmonella seroprevalence. For this purpose a case-control study was designed and pig farms with a low (\u3c10%) seroprevalence were compared against two randomly selected control farms, sharing the same geographical region and production type. A total of 11,452 samples, including pooled and individual floor faeces and environmental samples from pigs and their vicinity were tested and prevalence examined. In addition, detailed questionnaires were completed during the farm visits to collect descriptive data for risk factor analysis. It was shown that control farms had significantly higher prevalence compared to the case farms (19.4% and 4.3% for pooled and 6.7% and 0.1% for individual samples, respectively). The two risk factor analyses identified multiple variables associated with Salmonella prevalence including variables related to feed, effectiveness of cleaning and disinfection, biosecurity and batch production

Considering Risk Associated with the Realization of Waste Management Investment Plans in Cracow

To fulfill obligations to the European Union on waste management, the authorities of the city of Cracow, decided to build a waste incineration plant. Such investment involves considerable risks, not only financial but also social. The paper conducted a risk analysis based on the index net present value, identifies factors which are particularly exposed, and proposes solutions for reducing its level

The Assessment of the Occurrence of Benign Hypermobility Joint Syndrome in Physiotherapy Students

The occurrence of connective tissue disorders is an important factor for development of occupational diseases in professions requiring a non-ergonomic and often static load of the musculoskeletal system. Symptoms of the connective tissue disorders appear at different ages. The diagnosis of hypermobility is an important problem due to the lack of uniform diagnostic criteria. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the incidence of joint hypermobility and its relation with a history of injuries and the level of physical activity in Physiotherapy students. The study involved 143 students (69% female, 31% male) aged 18 to 27 years (M = 20.7; SD = 1.43). The assessment of the occurrence of Benign Hypermobility Joint Syndrome (BHJS) syndrome was performed using the Beighton and Brighton scale. Among the surveyed students almost 82% of the women and just over 18% of the men fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis of hypermobility. A significant difference was also observed in the physical activity of the students. Among those who showed no signs of hypermobility exactly half of the participants trained sports as amateurs, while in the group of people with hypermobility the proportion was lower by nearly half. BHJS was not related to injuries and operations in the study group
