Darbo objektas: Fizinio aktyvumo ir miego kokybės sąsajos su sveikatos nusiskundimais. Darbo tikslas: Įvertinti sąsajas tarp studentų fizinio aktyvumo, miego kokybės ir sveikatos nusiskundimų. Hipotezė: Mažiau fiziškai aktyvūs studentai pasižymi blogesne miego kokybe ir dažnesniais sveikatos nusiskundimais. Uždaviniai: 1. Palyginti LSMU ir kolegijos studentų fizinio aktyvumo lygį, miego kokybę, mokymosi trukmę, patiriamą distresą, žalingus įpročius, vidinės darnos lygį ir sveikatos nusiskundimų dažnį. 2. Įvertinti sąsajas tarp studentų miego kokybės ir sveikatos nusiskundimų, patiriamo distreso, mokymosi trukmės, vidinės darnos lygio. 3. Įvertinti sąsajas tarp studentų fizinio aktyvumo lygio ir miego kokybės, sveikatos nusiskundimų, patiriamo distreso, nuovargio mokymosi procese, vidinės darnos lygio, žalingų įpročių. Tyrimo imtis ir organizavimas: Momentinė anketinė apklausa buvo vykdoma 2012 m. spalio – lapkričio mėn. Viso apklausta 150 LSMU medicinos ir 150 Kauno kolegijos vadybos ir kraštotvarkos studentų. Rezultatai: Žemu fizinio aktyvumo lygiu (mažiau nei kartą per savaitę) pasižymėjo 47,3 proc. LSMU ir 34,0 proc. kolegijos studentų (p = 0,004 ). 56,1 proc. kasdien sportuojantys studentai skundėsi miego trūkumu, tuo tarpu mažiau nei kartą per savaitę sportuojančių studentų tarpe miego trūkumu skundėsi 68,9 proc. (p = 0,04). Su blogesne miego kokybe patikimai siejosi neigiamas savo sveikatos vertinimas (p < 0,0001), silpna vidinė darna (p < 0,0001), kaklo skausmai (p < 0...

Atlikti moksliniai tyrimai rodo teigiamą fizinio aktyvumo įtaką psichinei sveikatai, o gyvenimo kokybė yra svarbus metodas vertinant bendrą psichinėmis ligomis sergančiųjų funkcionavimą. Šio tyrimo tikslas buvo nustatyti psichinėmis ligomis sergančių pacientų gyvenimo kokybės ir fizinio aktyvumo ypatumus, galimas sąsajas. Tyrime dalyvavo 18-92 metų diagnozuotomis psichikos ligomis sergantys atsitiktine tvarka atrinkti tiriamieji (n=79). Pacientai buvo vertinami gyvenimo kokybės SF-36 klausimynu ir fizinio aktyvumo klausimynais. Tyrimo duomenys rodo, kad psichikos ligomis sergančių asmenų gyvenimo kokybė yra vidutiniška. Tiriamieji geriausiai įvertino fizinio aktyvumo, o blogiausiai socialinių ryšių ir energingumo ir gyvybingumo sritis. Nustatyti stiprūs statistiškai reikšmingi ryšiai tarp gyvenimo kokybės klausimyno sričių rodo, kad didėjant energingumui, gerėja emocinė būklė ir bendras sveikatos vertinimas, o emocinė būklė ir dėl jos esantys mažesni veiklos apribojimai teigiamai įtakoją bendrą psichinę sveikatą. Kuo didesnis fizinis aktyvumas, tuo geresnė ir bendra fizinė sveikata. Psichinėmis ligomis sergančiųjų fizinis aktyvumas didžiausias namuose (atliekant namų ruošos darbus), o mažiausias kasdieninėje veikloje. Gyvenantys šeimose patiria mažiau skausmo nei gyvenantys vieni. Turintys mažesni išsilavinimą, yra labiau fiziškai aktyvūs, patiria mažiau skausmo ir veiklos apribojimų dėl fizinių problemų, jų geresnė bendra fizinė sveikata. Reikšminga lyties, darbinės...

Aim of study: to evaluate microbiological quality of drinking water according Lithuanian drinking water standard HN 24:2003. Material and methods. The data of microbiological tests of drinking water were collected from laboratories responsible of drinking water control in Kaunas region. Part of the study was carried out at Helsinki University (dep. of Food and Environmental Hygiene). Different microbiological criteria of drinking water samples from small community supply were examined. Results. The results of our study showed that 94.4 % of drinking water from centralist drinking water supplies in Lithuania fulfill requirements of drinking water standard HN 24:2003 and is safe to drink. Drinking water from dug wells more often are contaminated and does not fit drinking water standard requirements. We found that there were too much coliforms in 12,8 % of drinking water samples, enterococci in 23.4% and E. coli in 16.7 % respectively. The study showed that there is a season variation of microbiological quality of drinking water. Less microbiological contamination of dinking water samples was during winter season from both water supply systems - centralist drinking water supplies and small community supplies. Microbiological quality of drinking water in Lithuania from small community supplies was worse compare to drinking water from small community supplies in Finland. The average of E.coli bacteria in Lithuanian drinking water from small community supplies was 5.57±2,09/10... [to full text]

The main goal of this work – determine the influence of storage to the quality and microbiology of meat, when storage is conducted according to regalement rules, or the storage is conducted breaking the rules by storing meat together with vegetables in the freezer with 4°C and 6 °C° temperature during 30 days period. The tasks of this work: 1. To research the pH changes when the storage regime is changing. 2. To determine the common microbiology pollution (BMS and pH), when the storage conditions are optimal, and when the storage conditions are deliberately broken. 3. To determine bacteria of salmonella and jersinia, storing meat is determined conditions, and then changing the conditions deliberately. The research shown, that storing meat at reglamented conditions for 14 days period at 4 °C, the example held out very well, with pH 5.54, and the example stored at 6 °C held out worse (pH 5.55), than the example stored at 4°C. That could influence the fact, that lower temperature influenced the holding out of meat. Conclusions: 1. Meat is more likely to be damaged, when it is stored together with another food products, and the microbiological state of meat was especially damaged, when it was stored with vegetables. When meat has been stored together with vegetables at 4°C temperature, the amount of microorganisms after 14 days increased from 9,6 mil 1cm3. to 890 mil. 1cm3, and after 30 days the amount of microorganisms increased from 9,6 mil. 1cm3. to 8,9 milij. 1cm3...
