Арт-рынок в XXI веке: пространство художественного эксперимента
Authors: Арутюнова Анна
Published: September 2022

Рынок искусства — одна из тех сфер художественной жизни, которые вызывают больше всего споров как у людей, непосредственно в нее вовлеченных, так и у тех, кто наблюдает за происходящим со стороны. Эта книга рассказывает об изменениях, произошедших с западным арт-рынком с начала 2000-х годов, о его устройстве и противоречиях, основных теоретических подходах к его анализу. Арт-рынок здесь понимается не столько как механизм купли-продажи произведений искусства, но как пространство, где сталкиваются экономика, философия, искусство, социология. Это феномен, дающий поводы для размышлений о ценности искусства, позволяющий взглянуть на историю взаимоотношений мира искусства и мира денег, разобраться в причинах, по которым коллекционеры чувствуют необходимость покупать работы художников, а художники — изобретать альтернативные пути взаимодействия с рынком. Книга адресована широкому кругу читателей, интересующихся историей искусства и арт-рынка ХХ–ХХI веков, а также специалистам по культурологии и экономике искусства.
PEDIATRIC HEADACHES: DOES NEUROIMAGING CONTRIBUTE TO DIAGNOSIS?
Authors: ARSLAN Müjgan
Published: September 2022

Objective

Headache is a common complaint in childhood.

While the etiology is usually benign, such as migraine

or tension-type headache, cranial imaging is often

performed on patients to identify any missed or serious

underlying pathology. In the present study we assess

the etiology and clinical characteristics of headaches

in children and establish the diagnostic contribution of

imaging methods.

Material and Method

This retrospective study included patients who

presented with headaches to the Pediatric

Neurology Outpatient Clinic of Süleyman Demirel

University Faculty of Medicine between 2019 and

2022. Headache information (frequency, duration,

type, characteristics, intensity, localization, and

accompanying findings) was obtained, and the cranial

imaging results of patients were recorded. Headaches

were classified according to the criteria established by

the International Headache Society.

Results

The study included 234 patients aged 2–18 years

with a mean age of 12.56 years, of which 64.5% were

female. The diagnosis was primary headaches in

68.4% of the patients, with tension-type headaches

in 46.2%, migraine in 31.2%, and other primary

headache causes in 22.5%. Among the secondary

headaches, disorders of the cranium, neck, eyes,

ears, nose, sinuses, teeth or other cervical structures

accounted for 79.7%, with the most common cause

being sinusitis. Cranial imaging was performed on

66.7% of the patients, of which 51.9% were identified

with abnormal findings. 14.1% of the imaging

results evaluated as abnormal were incidentally

detected cerebral abnormalities with potential clinical

significance; 10.3% were findings that were found

incidentally and had no clinical significance. The

treatment of these patients did not change with the

imaging result. Another 25% were evaluated as

extracerebral abnormality associated with headache.

Only one patient's outcome was associated with

headache. The patient was diagnosed with sinus vein

thrombosis and the treatment was arranged.

Conclusion

The majority of childhood headaches identified in

the present study were found to be benign, with the

leading causes being tension-type headache, infection

and migraine, and imaging methods were found to

be of little diagnostic benefit. It was concluded that

a detailed clinical assessment of patients presenting

with headaches could clarify the etiology, while

imaging methods may be useful in selected cases.
Margaret Atwood’s Language Aspects in The Handmaid’s Tale
Authors: S Rajeshwari , Meenakshi S.
Published: September 2022

Language is used in our daily routine as a communicative tool. Language users engage in a wide range of activities within the context of their daily social life and interact in several ways to make their goals understandable to their peers. Style is defined as an individual method of expressing ideas while speaking the common language exceptionally well. An individual’s style dictates how one shapes one’s language use to fit his or her objective. In a language, there are a variety of designs that may be characterised as scientific, literary, historical, legal, religious, rite, and rhetorical. These designs supported the modalities of communication and, as a result, the realms of language use. These communicative idioms take on completely diverse meanings in various fields of study. Atwood is widely regarded as a writer who is easy to read. She is the most well-known writer in Canadian literature. Her unique way of thinking is shown in her book, The Handmaid’s Tale, through the writing process.
Heckling in Parliamentary Interactions
Authors: Alqatawna Mohammad I.
Published: September 2022

This paper aims to describe and discuss the phenomenon of gaining illegal speakership in the Jordanian parliament with reference to the application of conversation analysis (CA), the participation framework, the notion of activity type, the notion of participation framework patterns, and the forms of embodiment and social organisation. The use of these strands enabled a fine-gained analysis of the ways in which hecklers enter the interaction, what they do with the floor and how other participants respond to these incursions. This study also shows how allotting certain roles in institutional contexts impacts people’s rights to speak and how they can disobey the rules to become speaking participants.
A Typological Study of the Mongolian and Chinese Comparatives From the Perspective of the Cardiff Grammar
Authors: Huang Lei , Liu Chengyu
Published: September 2022

This paper explores the syntactic and semantic functions of “NP + ᠡᠴᠡ᠌ (aca/ece)” in the Mongolian comparatives and “比(bǐ)+ NP” in the Chinese comparatives from the perspective of the model of Cardiff Grammar in Systemic Functional Linguistics. It is found that “NP + ᠡᠴᠡ᠌ (aca/ece)” in the Mongolian comparatives is case group, which can function as Main Verb and Adjunct. “比(bǐ)+ NP” in the Chinese comparatives is prepositional phrase, which can serve as Main Verb, Adjunct and Complement. Through the typological analysis, we find that the similarities in Mongolian and Chinese comparatives outweigh their differences in terms of process type and subject theme. However, the detailed features vary in the most delicate systems – within the lexical zone at the stratum of lexicogrammar. The findings not only provide a tentative solution to the long-standing debates on the comparatives, but also shed light on the teaching and learning of the comparatives in Mongolian and Chinese.
Investigating the Effects of Online English Film Dubbing Activities on the Intelligibility and Comprehensibility of Chinese Students’ English Pronunciation
Authors: Wei Jing , Yang Haibo , Duan Jing
Published: September 2022

Intelligibility and comprehensibility in English learners’ pronunciation plays a vital role in effective communication. Empirical studies show that Chinese English learners have difficulties achieving a high level of intelligibility and comprehensibility in their English pronunciation, one possible cause being the lack authentic context for pronunciation practice. Mobile-assisted Language Learning (MALL), i.e., language learning assisted or enhanced through the use of a handheld mobile device, is reported to provide a more authentic and therefore robust learning environment for EFL learners. This research explored the impact of online English film dubbing activities using mobile phones (MALL) on the intelligibility and comprehensibility of Chinese English learners’ English pronunciation. We recruited two classes of first-year college students, one as the experimental group and the other the control group. Recordings of the two classes were collected before and after the online English film dubbing activities, and a questionnaire was administered to the experimental group. The findings show that online English film dubbing activities positively influenced the performance of the EG’s English pronunciation in intelligibility and comprehensibility. The results from the questionnaires showed general positive attitudes towards the online English film dubbing activity.

Published: September 2022

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the organizational justice variable, organizational commitment, job satisfaction on the sustainable organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) variable in food producers. A cross-sectional, self-administered questionnaire was distributed in this study, the sample was determined using a slovin approach, and the total number of respondents was 159. The structural equation modeling (SEM) software SmartPLS 3.3.3 was used as the analytical tool. Data for research was gathered through the distribution of online questionnaires. According to the findings of this study, organizational justice variables have a positive and significant impact on the OCB variable. This demonstrates that the higher the organizational justice variable given to food producers in Banten, the higher the employee's sustainable Organizational citizenship Behavior variable will be. The organizational commitment variable influences the OCB variable in a positive and significant way. This indicates that the higher the level of the employee's sustainable OCB variable, the higher the level of the employee's organizational commitment. Furthermore, job satisfaction has a positive and significant impact on long-term OCB. This shows that the higher the employee's job satisfaction, the higher the employee's sustainable Organizational citizenship Behavior variable will be.
Integrating Environmental Governance into Sustainable Urban Development in Bangladesh

Published: September 2022

Environmental governance refers to the process of making environmental decisions, who makes them and how they are carried out. It includes formal and informal institutional arrangements for resource and environmental decision-making and management. This study examined the degree to which Barishal City Corporation (BCC) and Sylhet City Corporation (SCC), two divisional cities of Bangladesh, integrated environmental governance into sustainable urbanization. This study has collected data through questionnaire survey from 600 stakeholders (300 from each city corporation) along with key informant interviews from the government officials of the selected City Corporations. The study's findings show that environmental governance can pave the way to creating a sustainable city a reality. The ineffective enforcement of environmental laws and regulations, the lack of organizational coordination, responsibility, and responsiveness, and the deficiencies in resource mobilization are also identified as some of the few issues in this regard. This study argues that cities may be made sustainable by raising environmental awareness and changing the way of thinking of citizens and local government officials so that they believe everyone of them has a role to play in building a sustainable city. Creating sustainable cities cannot be legislated or decided: it must become a part of the life of every resident and organization in the city. The main drawback of this paper is that it only examines two of Bangladesh's twelve city corporations.
Preference of Spatial Mobility and Reside in the Suburbs Indonesia
Authors: Tampubolon Dahlan , Irsan Muhammad , Harlen  , Mardiana  , Handoko Tito
Published: September 2022

The desire to get a natural life, away from pollution, and comfortable with guaranteed utilities and facilities is why people choose housing in the city's hinterland. This study aims to analyze the determinants of spatial mobility preferences and to live in the city's hinterland. The research method used was a survey with 400 respondents from Rimbo Panjang and Karya Indah village in Kampar City. They have carried out spatial mobility and resided for the last five years. Data was collected through questionnaires and direct interviews, which were analyzed using a Likert scale questionnaire. Furthermore, SEM analysis was carried out using AMOS and SPSS software. The study results showed that three dependent and one intervening variable significantly influence the preferences of spatial mobility and living variables with a probability value below 5%. Only the residential environment variable (x1) with a score of 0.050 means it is not significant with a probability value (5%). Adjusted R Square value of 0.625 shows that the variation of the independent variables affects variations in spatial mobility preferences and resides by 62.5%. The frequency distribution of respondents' answers shows that all independent and dependent variables are in a good category. The research findings will be more diverse with the use of other methods and samples that represent the social mobility preferences of people in Indonesia. This study begins with a wide range of topics from the city center to the suburbs. The limitation of this study is that it does not distinguish whether they are from Pekanbaru City or other areas. Future research that could utilize longitudinal data could pursue a more significant measure of the relationship between regions in the study of mobility and settlement preferences.

Published: September 2022

The aim of this article is to provide principles for improving hot spring spaces and promoting them as sustainable health tourism destinations through participatory design and design thinking, using Wang Hin Hot Spring Park in Bang Khan District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Thailand as a case study, hearing activities were held with all stakeholders to collect data for analysis, the architectural design process was integrated. While the area has potential, many relevant sectors have yet to develop it or promote it coherently. The study results show that the improvement guidelines are as follows: Define a public/private zone. Control the entrance and exit to have only one point. Improve the most used ponds to accommodate everyone's use. Modify an existing space that is not suitable for the project to meet the project's needs. Create connected routes. Empty spaces should be utilized as efficiently as possible. Improve the parking areas to facilitate tourism-related travel. Increase the space to encourage wellness and align with the community's potential.
Application of QUAL2K for Water Quality Modeling and Management for the Euphrates River in Fallujah City as a Case Study
Authors: Hasham Ghadeer Jamal , Ramal Majeed Mattar
Published: September 2022

The main objective of this research is an examination of the applicability of the QUAL2K mathematical model on large rivers like the Euphrates, and it is the first study of its kind conducted on this important section within Fallujah Euphrates Reach (FER), using this model for the purpose of evaluating the quality of water and creating a database to predict the quality of river. The tests were conducted during January and April of 2022, where they were calibrated and verified for DO and CBOD5 at a distance of 12.86 km. Google Earth pro and Arc-GIS were utilized to provide certain data as input into the QUAL2K model. The model was calibrated in January using the trial-and-error technique, and the verification was completed in April using the model calibration parameters. For the purposes of evaluating the model's performance, statistical measures such as mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), and relative error (RE) were used. In addition, three different scenarios were applied (pollution load modification, flow augmentation for point sources, and flow augmentation for headwater) to improve the water quality of Euphrates river. The results show that the difference between observed and anticipated values had a relatively small error percentage, which means that this mathematical model can be applied to this important section of the river. While the concentration of DO was within the permissible limits to perpetuate aquatic life and maintain the ecological health of the river, the concentration of CBOD5 was also within the limits in some locations. In addition, the scenario represented by modifying the pollution loads represented by BOD5 for sewage water were effective in raising the concentration of DO in the river, while increasing point sources discharge and headwater flow does not yield meaningful results.
Investigation of the applicability of natural language processing methods to problems of searching and matching of machinery drawing images
Authors:   Bratsk State University, Figura K.N.
Published: September 2022

In this work it is shown that the application of the technique of local feature descriptors in its pure form to the task of searching and matching of drawings is ineffective. It is revealed that this is mainly due to the presence in the drawings of a large number of identical elements (frames, a title block, extension lines, font elements, etc.). It is proposed that this problem should be solved using a tf-idf (term frequency-inverse document frequency) method, which is widely known in natural language processing. In the study, instead of the word vectors used in the original tf-idf technique, descriptors of image feature points calculated using the ORB and BRISK algorithms were used. The study has led to the following conclusions: 1) the proposed approach offers high efficiency in finding a copy of the image-query in the database. Thus, copies of all images presented for search and having their full analogs in the database are revealed. 2) The identification rate of modified image-queries varies, depending on the algorithm used for finding keypoints and descriptors. So, the maximum percentage of identified modified analogs is 60% when using ORB and 80% when using BRISK - out of all image analogs in the database. 3) The proposed approach shows a limited efficiency in finding images that can be attributed to the same class as the image queries (for example, a drawing of an excavator, a bulldozer, or a truck crane). Here, the maximum proportion of false identification has reached 60%.

In this paper, the application of machine learning and deep learning in the spectral analysis of multicomponent gas mixtures is considered. The experimental setup consists of a quantum cascade laser with a tuning range of 5.3–12.8 µm, a peak power of up to 150 mW, and an astigmatic Herriott gas cell with an optical path length of up to 76 m. Acetone, ethanol, methanol, and their mixtures are used as test substances. For the detection and clustering of substances, including molecular biomarkers, methods of machine learning, such as stochastic embedding of neighbors with a t-distribution, principal component analysis and classification methods, such as random forest, gradient boosting, and logistic regression, are proposed. A shallow convolutional neural network based on TensorFlow (Google) and Keras is used for the spectral analysis of gas mixtures. Model spectra of substances are used as a training sample, and model and experimental spectra are used as a test sample. It is shown that neural networks trained on model spectra (NIST database) can recognize substances in experimental gas mixtures. We propose using machine learning methods for clustering and classification of pure substances and gas mixtures and neural networks for the identification of gas mixture components. Using the experimental setup described, the experimentally obtained concentration limits are 80 ppb for acetone and 100–120 ppb for ethanol and methanol. The possibility of using the proposed methods for analyzing spectra of human exhaled air is shown, which is significant for biomedical applications.

Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Kovalev V.Y. , Shishkin A.G. ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: September 2022

In this paper, a multiclass image semantic segmentation problem was solved. For analysis, images of the intracytoplasmic sperm injection process were used. For training the neural network, 656 frames were manually labelled. As a result, each pixel of the images was assigned to one of four classes: microinjector, suction micropipette, oolemma, background. An analysis of modern approaches was carried out and the best architecture, encoders, and hyperparameters of the neural network were selected experimentally: the convolutional neural network FPN (feature pyramid network) with the resnext101 encoder having a depth of 101 layers with 32 parallel separable convolutions. The developed neural network model has allowed obtaining the segmentation efficiency of IOU=0.96 at the algorithm speed of 15 frames per second.

The Place and Role of Triple Biography Research (Family, Professional and Migration) in the Typology of Tourists in Romania
Authors: Oprescu Georgiana , Staiculescu Ana  Rodica
Published: September 2022

In this article we intend to discuss the intertwining of sociological and demographic perspectives in tourism on the Romanian coast that are directly translated into tourist demand and services requested by tourists.
The family as a social group plays an important role in tourism both from the perspective of the local family in the tourist area and from the perspective of the family as a tourist group. The generation transmits social thinking, changes, habits, which flow directly into the social environment, locally or nationally.
The profession is a representative career factor for an original tourism that ensures the maintenance of the traditional status, economic and social area. This includes job security, salary but also a work-life balance. The intergenerational transmission of the professions in the tourist environment is important in maintaining the local customs and habits, a representative feature for an original tourism.
Migration is a key factor in tourism due to the need for skilled labor. The instability of economic and social factors has caused professionally qualified people to emigrate to European countries for a better life. On the other hand, the tourist units use the labor force from Africa and Asia, for which a better life is represented by a job in Romania.
The connection of this triple biography with the typology of tourists consists in the direct influence they have on the population that forms the tourist area and on the quality of life of the locals and tourists who choose the tourist destination.
The hypothesis we start from is that in order to talk about a satisfactory quality of life, there must be a balance between family life, profession and migration, the need to move to another territory determined by economic, social, political or natural factors.
We consider the fact that the family represents an important element in the Romanian tourism as a social factor because each family has its own traditions, its own professional environment regardless of whether it is imposed by the generation or represents one's own choice of the family member. Most of the time, the family environment forms the tourist environment in which the culture, traditions, gastronomy, clothing specific to the tourist area are presented, transmitted and lived, these aspects being sought by tourists.
Due to the fact that starting from education, individual and group social needs are formed, we can identify different types of tourism implemented in different areas from a demographic, social, cultural, economic point of view.
Transgenerational Genogram Analysis
Authors: Sandu Antonio
Published: September 2022

The genogram technique was developed by Muray Bowen (1993) within the Family Systems Theory, based on studies in which transgenerational aspects within the family were followed. The cited author states that family problems are transmitted from one generation to another, subjects tending to reproduce behaviors that they learned socially from their ancestors (Zamoșteanu, n.d., pp. 23-25). The genogram (or family tree) is a method that can be helpful in understanding family dynamics and has also been used with adoptive and foster families.
The Absence of Critical Thinking Skills and its Effects. Case Study: Vaccine Hesitation
Authors: Rotila Viorel
Published: September 2022

The aim of this article is to estimate the relevance of developing a public policy aimed at increasing the importance of critical thinking skills among pupils, students and citizens in general, using the problem of vaccination as a reference. I thus aim to contribute to the possibility of identifying solutions designed to increase the impact of educational activities for the creation of critical thinking skills. Because perhaps the most important cognitive problem in this context is the decision to vaccinate against SARS-CoV-2, I use the report on the vaccination problem as a context for assessing the effectiveness of critical thinking, trying to test the hypothesis of reducing vaccine hesitation by using critical thinking. The case study on vaccine hesitation considers the use of the attitude towards vaccination as a potential revealer of critical thinking skills, contributing for the identification of both problems and solutions to remedy them. Critical reflection on critical thinking implies the possibility of being aware of its specific limits. I approach some of the problems of defining critical thinking by suggesting in this way some risks aimed at its use for ideological purposes. I indicate the specific limits of the deficit model, thus contributing to the shaking of common places in the field of causal explanation for vaccine hesitation. I systematize the cognitive errors according to some specific causes and types of solving the existing problems in the specialized literature, thus generating a relevant frame of reference for the debates regarding the public policies in the area.

Authors: Pushkar Larysa , Lobova Olga , Pavlushchenko Nataliia , Parfilova Svitlana , Vasko Olha , Butenko Vita
Published: September 2022

The article highlights the possibilities of applying elements of theatre arts in the process of preschool and primary school teachers professional training. In particular, it reveals the issue of forming musical and choreographic competence in students by means of various forms, types and methods of drama. The main forms of musical and choreographic competence formation in preschool and primary school teachers are practical and laboratory classes (disciplines “Pedagogy”, “Fundamentals of pedagogical creativity”, “Fundamentals of stage and screen art with teaching methods”, “Organization of theater activity in preschool education institutions”, “Methods of music education”, “Musical art with methods of teaching”, etc.) and extracurricular forms of students’ theater activity (drama societies, drama studios, etc.).

Important types of drama activities in the process of training future preschool and primary school teachers are staging and dramatization, within which it is advisable to use different methods of forming students’ musical and choreographic competence: music-motor and drama games, staging of fairytales and songs, improvisation on a given theme-image, sketches, etc. Their use contributes to the development of a holistic set of musical and choreographic abilities, formation of singing skills, stage and dance movements, upbringing of future teachers’ performance culture and so on.

Published: September 2022

The study focuses on the pedagogical conditions for the introduction of blended learning technologies. Blended learning is a combination of classical live face-to-face learning with learning mediated by computer and other technologies. Approaches to the definition of “blended learning” have been analysed. The author has described the main advantages of blended learning. The range of problems associated with the introduction of blended learning has been studied. The author has also analysed the criteria of the blended learning system effectiveness. Teachers of Ukrainian HEI have been surveyed concerning the process of introduction of blended learning technologies. The general assessment of blended learning technologies according to the teachers of HEIs has been clarified. Blending distance learning platforms used by teachers have been determined. Most often, teachers use Zoom, Moodle and Google Class. The peculiarities of HEI teacher’s adaptation to the blended learning conditions have been studied. Almost half (48%) of respondents stated they had problems in adapting to blended learning conditions. The most common problems of teachers in the conditions of the blending distance learning have been described. It has been found that teachers most often encounter problems related to the processes of distance communication, as well as lack of experience and necessary knowledge. Respondents’ points of view on the possibilities of assistance in the form of methodological developments and in the online format have been analysed. A set of measures aimed at improving the pedagogical conditions for the introduction of blended learning technologies has been developed.
Correlation between Attentional Abilities and Spatial Orientation in Children Who Study Chess in School
Authors: Stegariu Vlad-Ionut , Abalasei Beatrice
Published: September 2022

The role of attention in chess is obvious because the game is an ongoing battle between two players whose main purpose is to checkmate the opponent’s king. Every single move represents a decision that cannot be changed and therefore the ability to concentrate and maintain attention for a limited period of time is essential. Compared to other sports, the game of chess can be played on the Internet, so physical presence does not limit its development. By using the computer, chess is played in better conditions because there is no space limit for people involved in the tournament. The main focus of the game is to move slowly but steadily to another direction. Besides the fact that chess helps to develop intellectual abilities, it can also play a role in the psychomotor development. Twenty third-grade children were selected and equally divided into two parts, the experimental group, and the control group. The Bender-Santucci test (spatial orientation), Kraepelin test, and Toulouse-Pieron test (attentional abilities) were applied to observe the role played by chess in children’s learning process. The independent samples t-test was used to highlight the statistical difference between the results. The Pearson correlation was also used for both groups to emphasize the level of correlation between the two tests. The experimental group recorded better results in both tests, and these results were statistically correlated.

Values are connected to how a person perceives the environment and themselves. One can talk about a certain dynamic of values over time. Changes in the importance of values occur due to existing situations in the external environment or to a significant alteration in one’s internal motivation. The goals of our research were to determine the value structure of preadolescents at risk of school dropout and to identify differences in values depending on the type of vulnerability, gender and geographical region. A total of 120 pre-teens (64 boys and 56 girls) at risk of school dropout participated in the study. We used the Values Questionnaire, part of the PEDb computerised platform (created by Cognitrom), which is calibrated for the Romanian population. The results have revealed that the most important values for pre-teens at risk of school dropout are related to social relations, skill development, free time and compliance with the rules. Significant differences were highlighted between boys and girls, respectively between socially assisted students and those with an absent parent, considering the value structure. Also, through a single-factor multivariate analysis of variance, important differences were noted in terms of free time and social relations, depending on the geographical region. The study findings are valuable resources for teachers (who can positively influence the social and educational integration of preadolescents by using student-centered learning and taking into account their value system), parents, and researchers eager to better understand the value structure of students at risk of school dropout.

This study aims at providing scientific arguments regarding the dancesport contribution in enhancing the quality of life of visually impaired children. Thus, a series of bio-motor tests and assessments (push-ups, squats, sit-ups, back extensions, trunk flexion while sitting and the Matorin test), psychological assessments (the Anxiety Test and the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory Test), as well as a series of anthropometric measurements (height, weight and arm span) and postural observations were performed on 30 pupils attending the Special Secondary School for the Visually Impaired in Bucharest (RO: Şcoala Gimnazială Specială pentru Deficienţi de Vedere). 15 of them attended the dancesport classes organised at school for one year.
At the end of this period, the previously applied tests and performed measures were taken again, and the initial and final results were compared, while analysing the impact that the implementation of the elaborated teaching strategy had on the experimental group compared to the control group.
In order to check the statistical significance between the initial testing and the final one, the Wilcoxon test and the Student’s T-test were employed. Thus, the conclusion could be drawn that attending the dancesport classes had a major influence on the visually impaired pupils’ bio-motor and psychological evolution, since statistically significant differences were recorded in most of the applied tests and assessments. The differences encountered in the control group were much smaller, and statistically and mathematically non-significant.

In Romania are just 4 women's rugby teams, and just 60-70 players, the selection and the competition in rugby is difficult. Also, the lack of skills of coaches in the women's rugby sector creates the need to promote education in and through sport with special focus on skills development of coaches interested in women's rugby. The objective of the study is to highlight the vulnerabilities faced by rugby coaches and female rugby athletes and find solutions for eliminating or diminishing prejudices like parents' fears of letting their girls practice a sport that can be considered harsh. The survey contains 27 questions and was applied online via google forms in four countries: Romania, Poland, Portugal and Spain. The research was carried out over a period of 2 months, in 2020. Participants were 126 rugby specialists: coaches, doctors, teachers, managers, referees. Results aim to provide important data for understanding the challenges faced by coaches and specialists in women's rugby 7: how to select girl athletes, what are the things that determine athletes to continue playing rugby, if their training should be different from that of the boys and how the women's rugby game could be promoted. Possible solutions can be: coaches may need to use a full range of questioning and demonstration strategies (use of experienced players to demonstrate, use of video). Physical differences between male and female children aged ten to twelve years of age are usually minimal. Rugby girls seven needs more media coverage.

Social transformations, changings on the labour market, in particular in the educational services' sector, need qualitative modifications in conceptual principles of prospective geography teachers’ vocational training. As a result of scientific literature's studying, the essence of the problem of prospective teachers' geography training for hiking and local-lore activities has been analyzed, and a set of conclusions have been formulated. Until the mid 20th century scientists had been researching organisation of tourist-related and regional studies activities mostly in line with traditional school didactics. Only at the end of the second half of the 20th century – at the beginning of the 21st century interest for the organisation of students’ tourism and their studies of local lore grew higher. During this period foundations have been laid for touristic and local-lore activities as a pedagogical category in tertiary institutions. Attempts are being made to study this question in the context of new pedagogical technologies. Therefore explorers have concentrated their attention on professional competence, description of its significant indications and structure, on diagnostics.

The study examines the features of the professional activities of sports coaches. As this profession involves experiencing extreme situations, uncertainty, risk, time pressure and critical choices that affect a person's emotional state, hindering his rational thinking, and eventually a person may lose control of the situation, it is important to identify basic measures to normalize the relevant professional activities. The relevance of the study is due to the need to form professional competence in the activities of a sports coach, which is associated with physical training and direct responsibility for the health and sometimes the lives of their athletes.
In order to understand the behavioral aspect in extreme situations that occur in sports training, the basic theoretical principles of sports coaches 'response to extreme situations were considered, researchers' conclusions on the behavior of sports coaches were analyzed and effective approaches to decision-making by coaches in extreme conditions were identified.
To achieve this goal, methods of analysis and synthesis, descriptive method and content analysis method were used. The results of the study became the basis for determining the conceptual basis for the effectiveness of decision-making by coaches in extreme situations.
