The paper describes the outcomes of evaluating the Internet and electronic media abuse prevention program conducted among 3rd-grade primary students. The literature review shows that a significant group of children and youth abuse ICT. The overuse of modern communication technologies may lead to a decrement in social functioning, psychological wellbeing and educational achievements. The risk of smartphone overuse is higher among youngsters; therefore, prevention programs should address this particular group. The evaluation was designed in a quasi-experimental scheme. Two measurements were conducted on a sample of 1207 students. Wilcoxon test indicates the significant increment in knowledge about communication rules and relationships on the Internet, about the influence of ICT on health and safety and emotional and difficult situation management skills, which were treated as securing factors. Moreover, a significant increment of the monitoring activities among parent was observed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper presents the results of ethnographic research on the mechanism of war framing combined with an analysis of the representation of children. Based on the analysis of materials from the Russian media (the case of crucifixion of a boy in Slavyansk) and ethnographic interviews with teachers in Kramatorsk, the author asks questions about the mechanisms of constructing the ontologies of child subjects by institutions of power in the conditions of war and the differentiation of grief after them. The conducted analysis, based mainly on the theses of Judith Butler, shows the differences in the construction of child subjects on both sides of the conflict. The author also points to the similarities in the treatment of children's bodies, understood universally as the projection surface of affects, especially those related to patriotism.

The main aim of this paper is to present the current situation of children with disabilities in the Republic of Namibia, with special regard to their educational chances and influence of cultural beliefs on their lives. Namibia has a law, which entitles education for all its citizens. Despite numerous legislative acts which should have increased the educational chances of Namibian children with disabilities, their real situation is completely different and depends on various factors, including the infrastructure of the schools, teacher competencies, their attitudes towards students, the small number of special and integrated schools as well as an insufficient amount of money transferred for the education of the children. The paper discusses all of the above factors and provides practical implications, which would improve the situation of children with disabilities in Namibia.

The physiotherapy process in children is specific and requires much more patience and understanding than in adults. Working with a child is not only related to the physiotherapy of a small patient, but also in a very good cooperation between the parent-physiotherapist. The paper presents selected issues of children's therapy in the light of research papers published in renowned scientific journals dealing with medical issues.

Introduction: Bruxism is defined as a repetitive jaw and muscle activity involving teeth clenching and/or grinding which may occur during everyday activities or during sleep. The aetiology of bruxism includes three groups of causes: psychosocial, personal and pathophysiological factors. Currently, there is no effective method of treatment to completely eliminate the problem of bruxism. Teeth protection and pain reduction methods are used. Bruxism-associated pain is found in approximately 47.6% of children aged 3–6 years. The aim of the present study was to establish sleep bruxism risk factors in children based on a literature review. Material and methods: The material for review included articles from the PubMed, ResearchGate and Google Scholar databases. In order to identify suitable publications the search was conducted using combinations of the following keywords: “bruxism,” “child,” “teeth grinding” (according to Medical Subject Headings, MeSH). This review includes 12 publication regarding sleep bruxism risk factors in children. Results: The association between bruxism and respiratory disorders and that between bruxism and sleep problems were described by three studies each. Stress as a predisposing factor was noted in four articles and parental divorce in two papers. Conclusions: 1) Respiratory disorders during sleep, sleep disorders and stressful situations, particularly parents’ divorce, contribute to sleep bruxism in children. 2) The impact of the remaining factors discussed in this paper on the development of sleep bruxism requires further research.

Wpływ aktywności ruchowej i sportu na rozwój psychomotoryczny dziecka niepełnosprawnego ruchowo The influence of physical activity and sport in the psychomotor development of physically disabled child Anna Mędrak, Joanna Piętak, Tomasz Łosień Koło Naukowe Neurorehabilitacji przy Zakładzie Rehabilitacji Leczniczej Katedry Fizjoterapii Śląskiego Uniwersytetu Medycznego w Katowicach Streszczenie Wstęp: Sport odgrywa ważną rolę w procesie rehabilitacji dzieci niepełnosprawnych ruchowo oraz wpływa na poprawę jakości ich życia. Aktywność fizyczna poprzez swoją kompleksowość oddziałuje nie tylko na motorykę dziecka oraz funkcji życiowych, ale także uczy dyscypliny, pracy w grupie i rozwija poczucie własnej wartości w społeczeństwie. Dobór form aktywności fizycznej zależy od stanu fizycznego i psychicznego dziecka, które są źródłem pozytywnych doświadczeń procentujących w każdym aspekcie jego życia. Cel pracy: Celem pracy była analiza czynników mających wpływ na rozwój psychomotoryczny dzieci niepełnosprawnych ruchowo. Postawiono następujące pytania badawcze: • Jakie jest oddziaływanie sportu na rozwój psychomotoryczny dziecka niepełnosprawnego ruchowo? • Czy istnieją formy dofinansowania wsparcia rozwoju sportowego dla dzieci z niepełnosprawnością ruchową? • Jaka jest dostępność obiektów sportowych dla dzieci niepełnosprawnych ruchowo (bariery architektoniczne)? Sport oddziałując wszechstronnie pozwala niepełnosprawnemu dziecku na akceptację własnej niepełnosprawności, uczy jak sobie z nią radzić, jak pokonywać trudności, oraz jak poprawić formę psychiczną poprzez działanie w grupie. Aktywność ruchowa sprzyja nawiązywaniu relacji międzyludzkich oraz pokonywaniu własnych słabości, co wspomaga proces kompleksowej rehabilitacji. Obecnie w Polsce jest coraz większa baza obiektów sportowych dostosowanych do potrzeb dzieci niepełnosprawnych ruchowo. Główne dofinansowanie pozyskiwane jest ze środków Unii Europejskiej oraz Ministerstwa Sportu i Turystyki. Istnieje także wiele fundacji wspierających rozwój sportowy dzieci niepełnosprawnych. Współcześnie coraz więcej obiektów sportowych dostosowanych jest do osób niepełnosprawnych, umożliwiając im aktywny udział w życiu społecznym i sportowym. W tym celu wykorzystuje się udogodnienia techniczne, takie jak: platformy, schodołazy, windy, krzesełka schodowe, podjazdy. W pracy podjęto próbę charakterystyki i usystematyzowania wyżej wymienionych zagadnień w odniesieniu do krajowych, ogólnodostępnych warunków rehabilitacji dzieci niepełnosprawnych ruchowo. Słowa klucze: dzieci, niepełnosprawność, obiekty sportowe, sport. Introduction: Sport plays an important role in the rehabilitation of children with physical disabilities and impacts on the quality of their lives. Physical activity by its complexity not only affects the child's motor skills and life functions, but also teaches discipline, teamwork and develops self-esteem in society. The choice of physical activities depends on the physical and mental condition of the child, which are a source of positive experience which has a positive impact on every aspect of his or her life. The purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze factors influencing the psychomotor development of children with physical disabilities. The following research questions were raised: 1. What is the impact of sport on psychomotor development physically disabled child? 2. Are there any forms of financing to support the development of sports for children with physical disabilities? 3. What is the availability of sports facilities for children with physical disabilities (the architectural barriers)? By its’ versatility sport allows disabled child to accept their disability, teaches how to deal with it, how to overcome difficulties and how to improve mental condition through the action of the group. Physical activity promotes networking and overcoming their own weaknesses, which supports the process of comprehensive rehabilitation. Poland currently has a growing base of sports facilities adjusted to the needs of children with physical disabilities. Majority of funds is sourced from the European Union and the Ministry of Sport and Tourism. There are also many foundations supporting athletic development of children with disabilities. Nowadays, more and more sport facilities are being adapted to people with disabilities, allowing them to actively participate in social life and sport. The technical facilities, such as platforms, stair elevators, stair chairs, driveways are used to adjust architecture to disabled’s needs. This paper is an attempt to characterize and systematize the issues mentioned above in relation to conditions of national, public program of rehabilitation of children with physical disabilities. Key words: children, disabilities, sports facilities, sports.

Ciclosporin is an immunosuppressive drug that is used in many fields of medicine, including e.g. gastroenterology in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases. Hypersensitivity reactions to cyclosporin medicines are rare and may be related to the drug's additional component - polyethyloxylated castor oil. In this paper, we present a case report of a 10-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy who were both treated with cyclosporin because of ulcerative colitis. During the course of therapy we observed cutaneous and systemic reactions which may suggest hypersensitivity to the drug. The cases of both allergic and non-allergic hypersensitivity to cyclosporin medicines described in the literature are also presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Asthma is amongst the most common chronic diseases in the world. It affects mainly children and young adults, and significantly limits their daily functioning and results in a number of social and economic consequences. The economic crisis and the need to rationalize health care spending has contributed to the development of modern branch of science known as pharmacoeconomics. Contemporary health policies of most countries are based on the results of pharmacoeconomic analyses, which in a clear and precise way allow to select the most efficient and cost-effective method of treatment of a given disease. Analyses carried out in accordance with current guidelines are particularly helpful in assessing the costs of treating chronic diseases, including asthma. However, conducting proper analysis does not always mean that their results are reliable. The aim of this paper is to present the main methodological problems in pharmacoeconomic studies of pediatric asthma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper was to determine the level of physical activity and healthy nutrition in children aged 3-6 years from Mitrovica. The research was attended by 94 children aged 3 - 6 years from two kindergartens in Mitrovica. As a parameter that measured the weight and height of the children, it was calculated with the standardized procedure of Body Mass Index (BMI) then was calculated according to the standard formula used by (Betterhealth, 2016). Also, after extracting other information through the questionnaire, a quantitative research was conducted through the parents of 94 children who were part of the measurements. A questionnaire was used to collect the data, which was previously translated and adapted into Albanian with permission to use it. The questionnaire was combined by three different questionnaires such as: the lifestyle questionnaire (Wilson et al., 2008), the physical activity questionnaire Pre-PAQ test (Dwyer et al., 2011) and the nutrition questionnaire (Rysha et al., 2017). The data collected during the research were placed in the statistical program SPSS version 21.0, and the presentation of this data was done through a descriptive analysis. The results that came from this research showed that the effect of physical activity, lifestyle and nutrition have quite a high impact on body mass index in children. From the results we saw that the children of the two kindergartens from the municipality of Mitrovica did quite well in terms of physical activity, where in the questionnaires that were answered 89.4% of children were active more than an hour a day by walking and doing other activities. Also, the results regarding the questions in which they were asked about the time that children use the phone were at a satisfactory level, where a large percentage of parents, 77.7%, declared that their children did not use the phone more than an hour a day. While in terms of nutrition, there have been many results which need more detailed analysis and to take preventive measures such as consumption of energy drinks, carbonated beverages, fast food, etc. From the measurement of children aged 3-4 years only one child turned out to be overweight with BMI = 18.7, while the rest came out with BMI with normal limits. As for children aged 4-5 years, one child turned out to be underweight with BMI = 12.4 and one obese with BMI = 21.9 and the others with BMI with normal limits. And out of children aged 5-6 years one child came out overweight with BMI = 17.7 and two others obese, one with BMI = 19.7 and the other BMI = 19.8 and the other children had normal weight (Betterhealth, 2016).

BACKGROUND: Despite the fact that the number of antiepileptic drugs is constantly increasing, epilepsy can still be a therapeutic challenge. Approximately one-third of patients with epilepsy have persistent seizures refractory to treatment. The limited number of effective alternatives motivates researchers to seek new solutions. There is some hope for cannabidiol (CBD) preparations.AIM OF THE STUDY: The purpose of this study was to review the most recent available literature on the use of cannabidiol in the treatment of refractory epilepsy in children and adults. For this purpose, the PubMed and Google Scholar databases were reviewed. The phrase "cannabidiol and epilepsy" was used to search the database. After Screening titles and abstracts a total of 19 papers and articles cited in them were received and analyzed in detail. RESULTS: Nowadays there are many CBD related products available in the market, Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica are the plants used due to their strong therapeutic effects and also seizure control. Regulations regarding the use of raw marijuana, cannabis extracts, and cannabinoid-based drugs vary from place to place. Many studies have been generated on the efficacy of cannabinoid therapy in the treatment of epilepsy. This therapy in patients with Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gaust syndrome results in a reduction in the frequency of motor and total seizures. The most commonly reported side effects of CBD are drowsiness, seizures and diarrhea, but the therapy is generally well tolerated.SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS: Many available studies support the efficacy of CBD as a treatment option to reduce seizure frequency in children with drug-resistant epilepsy, particularly in patients with Dravet and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. However, there is a lack of reports on the use of CBD in the adult population, which may be an area for further research.

Childhood obesity and overweight have a wide impact on physical and mental health, and affect adulthood. In the last decade, scientists have been looking with concern at the increasingly frequent excess body weight in children and adolescents. Therefore, it is crucial to estimate the scale of the problem, and thus to correctly assess the level of adipose tissue. In assessing the nutritional status of the young, anthropometric measurements and indicators are used. Despite the widespread use of BMI (body mass index), this indicator is often criticized. BMI is frequently recognized as an imprecise tool and its use often results in misleading classification. Therefore, the aim of this study is to present selected, non-invasive anthropometric indicators related to overweight/obesity in children.Anthropometric indicators are relatively simple tools used in public health. However, the search for a simple and useful indicator is still ongoing, which will enable the assessment of the nutritional status both in clinical practice and in population studies. The paper presents the most frequently described anthropometric indicators in the literature: body mass index (BMI) and BMIz score, relative fat mass pediatric (RFMp), tri-ponderal mass index (TMI), pediatric body adiposity fat index (BAIp) and the mid-upper arm circumference (MUCA). The possibilities of application and their effectiveness for the estimation of adipose tissue content and the risk of coexisting diseases are presented.Although there is no consensus on the best tool, it is known that BMI will remain the main parameter in assessing nutritional status. Nevertheless, the authors suggest the usefulness of tools such as RFMp, TMI and MUAC as a good complement to the imperfections ascribed to BMI.

One of the key roles in maintaining the body's homeostasis is played by insulin. The presence of insulin receptors in almost all cells of the body reflects the importance of this hormone. Insulin resistance is a state of impaired glucose homeostasis resulting from a decreased sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin, despite normal or elevated serum levels. The purpose of this paper is to present the current state of knowledge on the pathogenesis, risk factors, and diagnosis of insulin resistance at developmental age.

This paper presents war literature for children and young people. The perspective of the analysis is multi-layered and the whole work deals with the important and difficult topic of warfare, persecution of ethnic, religious and national groups, expulsion and the Warsaw Uprising. It takes into account both the nature of the topic covered and the age of the audience, which is important because of the vocabulary used in the text. The article has inaccuracies resulting from the lack of specific guidelines for adapting the literature to the competence of the young addressee. (This is not the case with guidelines for computer games or school reading). These are additional difficulties that an adult has to deal with when choosing a book for a child. Therefore, it is important to know the child, their maturity level and their knowledge of the story, and often the best solution is to simply read together. When analysing the books discussed in this article, attention should also be paid to the time period of the plot – pre-war, war, post-war – the form of the narrative and the language or stylistic devices used to describe the war. The most popular ways of telling about war are metaphors, similes, personification. War is often compared to a monster or a giant that destroys everything around it – both materially and spiritually. In turn, the characters and situations described are presented on the basis of the opposition of good and evil, white and black, or in the situation of description from the perspective of time: past and present. In addition, linguistic activities that convey the emotions the reader feels while reading and experiences together with the characters are presented. The language games, e.g. Władza Ludowa described as Władza Lodowa, or the diminutive sklepiszcza, are not only interesting solutions that add variety to the text, but also facilitate the understanding of the atmosphere of the time described. An important element of the analysis is the narration from the perspective of children, both Poles who grew up during the war and Jews who were separated from their families and hidden. Such a description makes it easier for the reader to identify with the character and better understand the content.

Publications on the conflict in eastern Ukraine rarely describe the situation of children living in the combat zone. More attention is paid to the political, economic and military aspects of this confrontation. The author has set himself two goals. The first one is to check how the war affects the biological and mental aspects of children’s lives. The second is an attempt to answer the question whether there is a possibility of improving the situation of minors. The paper on the problematic system is divided into three parts. The first part draws attention to the following problems: difficulties with access to medical care, increased incidence of infectious diseases, growing drug addiction, drinking water pollution, as well as the threat of unexploded ordnance. The second part describes: threats to mental health of children, socialization problems (pre-school and school education, family crisis, shaping of national identity), as well as participation of child soldiers in the conflict in Donbass. The last section of the article contains conclusions. The considerations were prepared on the basis of carefully verified materials in English, Ukrainian and Polish. Many publications were downloaded from the websites of international organizations, analytical centers and scientific institutions.
