Purpose. The aim of the present study was to determine the correlations between the strength of the stimulation process, mobility of nervous processes, achievement motivation and sports results of fencers in the senior age category. Methods. The sample was comprised of 38 senior fencers (19 men and 19 women) aged 21-32 years. The strength of the stimulation process and mobility of nervous processes were assessed with the Strelau and Zawadzki PTS inventory. The subjects' achievement motivation was measured with the achievement motivation questionnaire by Widerszal-B azyl. Results. The study revealed that senior fencers (women, in particular) featured higher mean levels of the examined psychological determinants, i.e., strength of the stimulation process, mobility of nervous processes and achievement motivation than the general population in the same age range. Strong and statistically significant correlations were found between all the studied psychological determinants and sports results among the male fencers in the sample. In the group of female fencers none of the correlations were statistically significant. Conclusions. The results might provoke reflection on the role of coaches and, consequently, may have implications for the cooperation between coaches and athletes, indicating that the individual psychological differences of fencers should be considered during training. The coach may also decide on the necessity for considering on the reported diversification within the gender or age domain, and the need to consider such psychological properties as temperamental characteristics or the level of achievement motivation.

Purpose. The following paper aims to examine the influence of sensation seeking on training results of skiers with different needs for stimulation, and to verify the hypothesis that people with higher needs of stimulation can achieve better results in skiing technique tests. Basic procedures. In order to verify the research hypothesis, a number of tests were carried out, including Zuckerman's Sensation Seeking Scale. Forty-one participants in skiing courses were examined. The results achieved by the subjects in skiing technique trials and in sports tests during the course were taken as the dependent variable. In addition, correlations were established between the sensation seeking scale results and the skiing theory test results. Main findings. The results showed a gender-related diversification of the main factors of stimulation demand, such as thrill and adventure seeking, as well as differences in the general level of stimulation demand. A correlation was established between stimulation demand and skiing technique test results only among women (0.74**, 0.59**). Conclusions. The skiers examined - regardless of their sex - reveal a high level of stimulation needs in thrill and adventure seeking. It can also be stated that the correlation between stimulation demand and success in skiing training is statistically significant in the sample under examination (0.65*).

A novel diagnostic method based on recognition of qualitative and quantitative composition of healthy and tumor tissue samples by library of molecular receptors was presented. Molecular receptors were formed by self-organization of N-lipidated peptides attached in the regular fashion via aminophenylamino-1,3,5-triazine linker to the surface of cellulose plate. For samples testing, the library was cloned into multiple, identical copies and for each experiment the new clone was used. The binding process was monitored by staining the discs with Brilliant Black and quantitative color measurement was performed in 256 grade gray scale. Substantial differences in the composition of healthy and tumor samples were observed in most cases. The highly individual chemical fingerprints were found to be reliant on the cancer type. For malignant papillary thyroid cancer statistical analysis identified two receptors most useful for diagnostic purposes.
