Spectator attendance to professional basketball in Turkey is significantly less than desired. Keeping in mind how important spectators are for team sports, understanding factors that affect game attendance will offer essential clues in terms of increasing spectator attendance. The main purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between basketball spectators' motives and points of attachment. With consideration to this purpose, the present study has tested the validity and reliability of the Motivation Scale for Sport Consumption and the Points of Attachment Index for Turkish basketball spectators. 197 basketball spectators participated in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis results demonstrated that the original models of the measurement tools employed for the study showed an acceptable degree of fit with the data. The internal consistency coefficients of the scales were found to be between 0.59 and 0.80 for the Motivation Scale for Sport Consumption and between 0.53 and 0.88 for the Points of Attachment Index. The canonical correlation analysis only returned a single significant function. The motives aesthetics and escape stood out in terms of the significant function, while the sport type (basketball in this study) stood out in the sense of attachment. Relationships identified between basketball spectators' motives and points of attachment could help sports managers and marketing experts to develop strategies focusing on increasing spectator attendance to their teams' games.

Background: The purpose of this study was to obtain knowledge on tactics of long distance swimming at the highest women professional level.Material/Methods: Eight swimmers, finalists of 800 m distance of freestyle of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games were examined. The distribution of velocity of swimming for the entire distance based on 50 m segments was analyzed. Partial, halves and quarters velocity, speed indexes and linear and nonlinear regression equations were calculated.Results: It was revealed that better swimmers (placed 1-3) had their distribution of swimming as an ascending line and with very small difference between segmental velocity and that of the entire distance, while the rest of swimmers had a descending velocity line and a higher dispersion of partial values.Conclusions: High performance swimmers have to hold uniform velocity of movement with small dispersion along the entire distance of swimming.

The article is focused upon the challenges of the political discourse translation methodology. The overview of the key works in the field of theory and practice of translation has allowed to distinguish the correlation between the stylistic peculiarities and translation strategy, tactics and operations. It has been outlined that challenges for adequate political discourse translation are evoked by genre discrepancy, the issue of the rendering such peculiar vocabulary items as realia, nationally colored phraseological unities and fusions, as well as proverbs and sayings. The objective of the research is seen as the search of efficient methods and techniques aimed at optimizing the quality of political discourse translation in the paradigm of the communicative and functional approach. The urgency of the study is proved by the growing demand for the qualified political discourse translation both on the external international and internal domestic policy levels. The criterion of the trustworthiness and political tolerance is especially upto-date in the view of the recent political situation in the world in general and in Ukraine in particular. The role of the qualified political discourse translation for the political future of Ukraine can’t be overestimated. The mission of translators and their duty is to perform adequate, faithful and qualified translation of all sort of political speeches, disputes, negotiations and agendas from Ukrainian into English and other foreign languages to give the world the idea of the essence of both social and political life in the country. The power of speech and language means is sometimes stronger than the power of weapon. The findings of the research may be of great value for future translators training and self-education. The perspective is seen in working out the methodology of publicist and scientific discourses translation in the aspect of the globalization of Ukrainian culture and science international distribution.

Introduction. In general, stress is defined as the body's response to the psychological and physical demands. The constant exposure to professional stress can lead to serious consequences. One of them, widely described in the literature, is the burnout syndrome of nurses. Current concepts of coping with stress determine the personality signs of resistance to stress as "mediators of the stress process" Aim. The aim of the conducted research is to analyze the nurses' opinions on the strategy of coping with stress. Materials and methods. The study involved a group of 70 nurses working on conservative and surgical wards in the Regional Specialist Hospital Dr W. Biegański in Grudziądz, after obtaining the positive consent of the Bioethical Commission of the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń at Collegium Medicum Ludwika Rydygiera in Bydgoszcz and the consent of the Hospital Management. The method of diagnostics survey, questionnaire technique and author's questionnaire and standardized Mini-Cope questionnaire were used. Results.As a result of the conducted research, it was found that nurses from the youngest group and with the shortest seniority significantly more often chose the following strategies: positive re-evaluation, sense of humor and other activities. Nurses in the 36-45 age group were more likely to choose to seek instrumental support as a strategy of coping with stress. However , graduates with higher education focused on active coping activities , positive reevaluation and development as well as other activities . In turn, lower education indicated active coping activities , planning and other activities. Conclusions. According to the respondents, the nurse job is often stressful. The strategies used to cope with stress are active coping activities, planning, and other activities. The average age of the examined nurses was 43 years. The largest group involved the respondents with medical school education (41.4%), while the smallest medical higher education (8.6%).

Wstęp. W ogólnym ujęciu stres określany jest jako reakcja organizmu na stawiane psychiczne i fizyczne wymagania. Nieustanne narażanie się na stres zawodowy może doprowadzić do poważnych konsekwencji. Jedną z nich, szeroko opisywaną w literaturze, jest zespół wypalenia zawodowego pielęgniarek. Aktualne koncepcje radzenia sobie ze stresem określają osobowościowe oznaki odporności na stres jako „mediatorami procesu stresowego”. Cel. Celem przeprowadzonych badań jest analiza opinii pielęgniarek na temat strategii radzenia sobie ze stresem. Materiał i metody. Badaniami objęto grupę 70 pielęgniarek i pielęgniarzy pracujących na oddziałach zachowawczych i zabiegowych w Regionalnym Szpitalu Specjalistycznym im. dr W. Biegańskiego w Grudziądzu, po uzyskaniu pozytywnej zgody Komisji Bioetycznej Uniwersytetu Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu przy Collegium Medicum im. Ludwika Rydygiera w Bydgoszczy oraz zgody Dyrekcji szpitala. Wykorzystano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego, technikę ankietowania oraz autorski kwestionariusz ankiety i standaryzowany kwestionariusz Mini-Cope. Wyniki. W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań stwierdzono, iż pielęgniarki z najmłodszej kategorii wiekowej i z najkrótszym stażem pracy istotnie częściej wybierały strategie: pozytywne przewartościowanie, poczucie humoru oraz zajmowanie się czymś innym. Jako strategię radzenia sobie ze stresem w postaci poszukiwania wsparcia instrumentalnego częściej wybierały pielęgniarki w grupie 36-45 lat. Natomiast absolwenci z wyższym wykształceniem stawiali na aktywne radzenie sobie, zajmowanie się czymś innym, pozytywne przewartościowanie i rozwój. Z kolei niższe wykształcenie wskazywało na aktywne radzenie sobie, planowanie i zajmowanie się czymś innym. Wnioski. Według opinii respondentów praca pielęgniarki/pielęgniarza jest często stresująca. Stosowanymi strategiami radzenia sobie ze stresem jest aktywne radzenie sobie, planowanie, zajmowanie się czymś innym. Średni wiek badanych pielęgniarek/pielęgniarzy wyniósł 43 lata. Najliczniejszą grupę stanowili badani z ukończonym liceum medycznym (41,4%), natomiast najmniejszą studium medyczne (8,6%).

Purpose. Many studies analyzing the game of tennis overlook assessing such variables as the pure ability to play the game or the skill needed to take an opponent by surprise. This can be quantified in terms of a player’s shot flexibility, variability, velocity, or by the conscious or intuitive adaptability one can possess towards anticipating return shots, how best to hit the ball in order to keep it in play, as well as the buildup of delivering a shot or in scoring a point. The aim of the study was to identify the ability to score points in tennis based on an original set of assessment criteria that were used to measure the different effective plays against an opponent. This included measuring the variability, spatial flexibility and variability of shots taken, as well as the willingness to make risky plays. Methods. The study analyzed the match play of two elite tennis players, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, who competed against one another in the final of the 2007 US Open and the semi-final of 2008 Australian Open. Video recording of the two games was used to score and measure the proposed criteria. Results. The study found numerous quantitative and qualitative aspects that could assess the performance of the players. This included measuring the variety, spatial flexibility and variability of shots taken, as well as the willingness to make risky plays. Shot variety, flexibility and variability, as well as the amount of risk taken during game play, were quantifiable in nature. Taking into account the high sporting level of the players, the obtained results are undoubtedly of considerable educational value. Conclusion. The results allow for the conclusion that the teaching process in tennis demands the introduction of significant modifications aimed at the rationalization of technique and the introduction of criteria that can measure player effectiveness.
