A questionnaire is an integral component ot methods determining the temperaments of dogs. From the range of questionnaires used for evaluation of a dogs temperament, we selected C-BARQ. this particular type of questionnaire allowed us to determine the degree of agreement of evaluations ofthe same dog by individual members of one household. Tlie evaluation included dogs in 29 bouseholds with a total of 71 members. 'Ihe degree of agreement between ratings of individual members ofthe same household was determined by Intraclass correlations coefficient (ICC). The correlations observed ranged berween 0.53 and 0.9, depending on the category. This result is further supported by the results of other studies that showed similar perceptions ofthe same dog between family members.

ABSTRACT:We have examined 35 samples of fine cottage cheese, 14 samples of whole winter bryndza, 29 samples of Ondava cheese, 18 samples of skim kephir milk, 18 samples of whole acidophilous milk, 5 samples of yoghurt milk with strawberry flavour and 50 samples of fresh butter (Rajo) for the presence of staphylococci focusing on Staphylococcus aureus. All samples intended for microbiological analysis were taken directly from market establishments. None of the examined samples of yoghurt milk complied with the Codex Alimentarius because they contained Staphylococcus aureus bacteria on the level of 100, 65, 5, 75, and 60 CFU/ml. The other analysed food products satisfied the current standards with regard to the presence of staphylococci.

Acetylcholinesterase (ACHE)-positive nerve fibres in the thymus of the rat form perivascular plexuses as well as free ACHE-positive nerves, which do not follow the course of the vessels. A higher number of ACHE-positive nerves was observed in corticomedullary border and the medulla, a lower number in the cortex of the thymus lobuli. A gradual reduction of ACHE-positive intrathymus nerve formation was recorded and correlated with the increasing age of the rats. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-diaphorase positive cells observed in the rat thymus were irregular with numerous projections and were located on the boundary of the cortex and medulla.
