Today, the Ukrainian school is on the verge of profound educational reforms. A significant step towards a new Ukrainian school is to update the programs of the main school, taking into account the competence approach. The study of the prospects for the introduction of new variable modules of the educational program «Physical Culture. Grades 5–9» requires a detailed analysis to improve the physical education of pupils. The history of the formation of new types of sports for physical education lessons and the state of their current development in Ukraine are described. Among them: rugby, korfball, pétanque, fencing, military sports games, step aerobics and cheerleading. The attitude of teachers of physical education to the possibilities of introducing new variable modules is researched. The interests of pupils and their interest in their learning were studied. The analysis and summary of literary sources, questioning-diagnostic and mathematical-statistical methods are used. A survey of teachers of physical education of middle grades (36 people) and pupils of grades 5–9 (120 people) of secondary schools of Lutsk was conducted. It has been established that 56,25 % of the pupils would like to diversify physical education lessons because they are not always interesting (46,25 %). 20 % of the teachers do not always take into account the interests of their pupils when planning physical education lessons. Among the kinds of sport that arouse the greatest interest of the teachers and the material and technical possibilities for their implementation are: step aerobics (50 vs. 40 %), military-sports games (20 vs. 5 %), cheerleading (15 vs. 10 %) and rugby (10 versus 15 %). Pupils showed a desire to study military-sports games (38,75 %), rugby, step aerobics, fencing (28,75, 27,75 and 27,5% respectively) and cheerleading (23,75 %). Korfball, pétanque and fencing are not of interest to any of the teachers; pétanque and korfball arouse the lowest interest among the pupils. During the courses of higher education in institutes of postgraduate pedagogical education it is offered to introduce special courses on the main innovations taking into account peculiarities and traditions in the development of physical education in a particular region.

Topicality. In theory, the information of this research of basic public functions, performing folk games and entertainment in ancient Slavs, extremely important for understanding their historical origins, influence upon the formation of the Ukrainian nation and specification of separate facts, information and evidence for a coherent system of knowledge about the physical culture of Ancient Rus. It is particularly important for the further development of national sports and their popularization and introductioninto the global emulative practice, raising patriotic spirit of modern youngpeopleby means of undeservedly forgotten national folk games. Formulation of the Problem. The emergence of physical exercises and games in the ancient peoples inhabiting the territory of our country refers to the time of the primitive-communal system. Physical culture during antiquity and during the early Middle Ages played an important role in the life of many civilizations and cultures, ethnic groups and peoples, tribes and genera. It reigned in all spheres of human life.It influenced the formation of statehood, religion, life, helped to train the army, formed morals in society, preserved the identity of the nation, etc. The purpose of this research is to systematize the disparate information by the author's collective on the basis of the analysis of scientific and methodological literature and the generalization of information about the applied, military and initiative value of the Slavs physical training of the KievanRus times. Conclusions. Thus, according to the written evidences and sources of oral folk art, we can state that at the time of the establishment of the Kiev statehood and in the future, the Slavic people had their highly developed system of physical education. Initially, it was a synthetic element, and later it became as an independent stratum of All-Rus culture, which contributed to the development of the Old Rus ethnic group, performed a variety of industrial and applied functions, solved the military problem and helped to self-identify in the future an independent and freedom-loving nation.

Published: December 2017

Modern Olympism is a powerful public sporting movement, which has unlimited possibilities for the propaganda of the ideas of humanism, internationalism and morality. Special attention in the athletic development of population is paid to pedagogical technologies in physical culture, especially in educating young generation. One of effective approaches in forming public consciousness of the young generation is the integration of the Olympic education into educational process through introduction the Olympic ideology. The ideals of Olympism are tools in education of moral, harmoniously developed personality, who adheres to the rules of fair play. Development and popularization of the modern Olympic movement among young people enable to decrease the amount of those who use alcohol, drugs, tobacco, by increasing persons’ interest in leading the sporting, healthy way of life. Thus, we will get fully educated generation of healthy young people, the future of nation. The social value of sport and Olympism is estimated on the basis of humanism. However, the use of the Olympic ideals in forming publicly conscious youth by the system of city out-of-school activities is not enough investigated in pedagogical theory. The problem has social and pedagogical value, which defines its actuality. The goal lies in scientifically grounded conception of the Olympic education in general educational establishments as an effective means of humanizing personalities. To teach children to the ideals and values of Olympism is possible by the method of purposeful gaining knowledge about the importance of going in for sports and the history of the Olympic movement. For this purpose the model of forming a harmonious personality, a tool for facilitating modern Olympism, and a way of performing one of the major tasks of community development was worked out. The implementation of the model has proved the importance of the city out-of-school activities which have a large educative potential, help in forming the value attitude toward the society, physical culture and sport. They also promote the increase in level of being informed about values and ideals of Olympism, that positively influence forming humanistic potential of a personality.

The Impact of Performance Ratings on Job Satisfaction for Public School Teachers
Authors: Koedel Cory , Li Jiaxi , Springer Matthew G. , Tan Li
Published: December 2017

Spurred by the federal Race to the Top competition, the state of Tennessee implemented a comprehensive statewide educator evaluation system in 2011. The new system is designed to increase the rigor of evaluations and better differentiate teachers based on performance. The use of more differentiated ratings represents a significant shift in education policy. We merge teacher performance evaluations from the new system with data from post-evaluation teacher surveys to examine the effects of the differentiated ratings on job satisfaction for teachers. Using a regression-discontinuity design, we show that higher ratings under the new system causally improve teachers’ perceptions of work relative to lower ratings. Our findings offer the first causal evidence of which we are aware on the relationship between performance ratings and job satisfaction for individual teachers.
Incorporating a Safety Index into Pathfinding
Authors: He Zhaoxiang , Qin Xiao
Published: December 2017

Travelers around the world are concerned with choosing not only the quickest route from one point to another but also the safest route. Traffic safety has always been a major public concern, and traffic safety performance should be constantly evaluated so that both reactive and proactive countermeasures can help reduce crashes. This study developed a methodology for incorporating safety aspects into travelers’ pathfinding process. The safe pathfinding process included two main parts: a route-specific safety hazard index and a route-finding algorithm that considered both travel time and safety. The ratio of the deceleration rate to avoid a crash to the maximum available deceleration rate was chosen as the proxy for traffic safety. The safety hazard index was formulated by using the collision mechanism along the roadway segment and at the intersection. Motorist-specific information (e.g., vehicle type, age, pavement condition) was also included in the safety index model so that a traveler’s individual needs could be considered. The pathfinding algorithm, which combined mobility and safety, had three objectives: shorter travel time, lower route safety hazard index, and avoidance of sites with the highest safety hazard index along the route. The methodology was applied in a real-world street network to demonstrate its use and prove the concept of finding a safe path.

Published: December 2017

Many neighborhood weight matrices have been adopted for modeling crash spatial heterogeneity. However, there has been little evaluation of their influence on crash prediction modeling performance. This study investigated 17 spatial-proximity matrices for development of spatial crash prediction models and site ranking with county-level data in California. Of the group of matrices being evaluated, traffic exposure–weighted and population-weighted distance-based matrices were first proposed in the traffic safety field. Bayesian spatial analysis was conducted with a combination of a first-order autoregressive error process and time trend for crashes to address the serial correlation of crashes in successive years. Two diagnostic measures were used for assessment of goodness of fit and complexity of models, and seven evaluation criteria were employed to assess the benefits associated with better-fitting models in site ranking. The results showed that modeling performance improved with an increase in number of neighbors considered in the weight matrix. However, a larger number of neighbors also led to greater variability of modeling performance. Specifically, Queen-2 and Decay-50 models proved to be superior among the adjacency- and distance-based models, respectively. The significance of incorporating spatial correlations was highlighted by the consistently poor performance of the base model, which included only the heterogeneity random effect. Finally, model-fitting performance seems to be strongly correlated with site-ranking performance. The models with closer goodness of fit tend to yield more consistent ranking results.
Exploring Vehicle–Pedestrian Crash Severity Factors on the Basis of In-Car Black Box Recording Data

Published: December 2017

This study investigated the main factors affecting the severity of injury to pedestrians in taxi–pedestrian crashes on urban arterial roads. Video data recorded by an in-car black box were used. Because the video data provided direct crash observation, they were more reliable than the crash data, and video images and speed profiles retrieved from the black box were advantageous for safety studies. For analysis of the black box data, this study defined new explanatory variables that affected injury severity; these variables could not have been identified by the conventional method, which was based on crash reports. A multiple-indicator and multiple-cause model was used to investigate the relationship between the explanatory variables and injury severity. A total of 484 taxi–pedestrian crash scenes over 2 years was used for the multivariate analysis in the city of Incheon, South Korea. The crash characteristics most strongly associated with increased crash severity were failure by the pedestrian to watch for approaching vehicles, jaywalking by the pedestrian, the pedestrian being elderly, excessive vehicle speed, failure by the driver to immediately stop, limited driver vision, and nighttime. This study emphasized the potential of individualized black box video recording data for crash severity analysis and investigation of the causal factors of crashes.

Published: December 2017

Reliable prediction accuracy is an essential attribute for crash prediction models. Generally, more severe injury outcomes, such as fatalities, are rarer than less severe crashes, such as property damage only or minor injury crashes. The complementary log–log (cloglog) model, commonly used in epidemiological research, is known for its accuracy in predicting rare events. This study implemented the cloglog model in analyzing pedestrian injury severity and compared its performance with the two conventional models used in injury severity research: the probit and logit models. The three models were developed with data from 1,397 crashes involving aging pedestrians that occurred in Florida from 2009 through 2013. The response variable, injury severity level, was binary and categorized as either fatal or severe injury or minor or no injury. The study used three accuracy metrics (deviance information criteria, prediction accuracy, and receiver operating characteristics curves) to compare the performance of the models. The cloglog model outperformed the probit and logit models in overall goodness of fit and prediction accuracy. More important, the cloglog model outperformed the other two models considerably for predicting fatal and severe crashes according to the recall metric (72% accuracy versus 43% and 41% for probit and logit models, respectively). However, the other two models outperformed the cloglog model in predicting crashes with no or minor injuries. Of predictor variables included in the model, six were found to significantly influence fatal or severe injuries for aging pedestrians at 95% Bayesian credible interval. These variables included pedestrian age, alcohol involvement, first harmful event, vehicle movement, shoulder type, and posted speed.

Published: December 2017

This paper, with the use of data from the SHRP 2 naturalistic driving study, provides a preliminary evaluation of the effectiveness of high-visibility crosswalks (HVCs) in improving pedestrian safety at un-controlled locations. This evaluation was accomplished by analyzing the driving behavior of SHRP 2 participants at three uncontrolled locations at the Erie County, New York, test site. In this context, crash surrogates (i.e., speed, acceleration, throttle pedal actuation, and brake application) were used to evaluate the participants’ driving behavior, primarily on the basis of data from before and after the HVC installation. The before–after analysis allowed the assessment of HVC effectiveness in driver behavior modification. Mixed logit and random parameters linear regression models were estimated, and panel effects and unobserved heterogeneity were accounted for. Several factors were explored and controlled for (e.g., vehicle and driver characteristics, roadside environment, weather conditions), and the preliminary exploratory results show that HVCs can improve pedestrian safety and positively modify driving behavior.

Authors: Wu Di , Zheng Chao , Wu Ji , Wang Longfeng , Wei Xiang , Wang Lizheng
Published: December 2017

INTRODUCTION: Knee injuries are common among paratroopers and skydivers during landing maneuvers. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dropping height and the use of protective knee braces on parachute landing biomechanics.METHODS: The study cohort
consisted of 30 male elite paratroopers with formal parachute landing training and more than 2 yr of parachute jumping experience. Each participant was instructed to jump off a platform at two different heights (40 and 80 cm, respectively) and land on force plates in a half-squat posture.
All participants tested three different knee brace conditions (no-brace, elastic brace, and semi-rigid brace) at each height.RESULTS: With an increase in dropping height, peak vertical ground reaction forces (GRF), peak flexion angle, peak flexion angular displacement, peak abduction
angle, peak abduction angular displacement, peak extorsion angle, and peak extorsion angular displacement of the knee joint all increased. As compared without the use of a brace, use of an elastic or semi-rigid knee brace significantly reduced peak flexion angle, peak flexion angular displacement,
peak abduction angular displacement, and peak extorsion angle, while there were no significant differences in peak vertical GRF or peak extorsion angular displacement. The semi-rigid brace provided the greatest restriction against peak abduction angle (3–6°).DISCUSSION:
The elastic and semi-rigid knee braces both effectively restricted motion stability of the knee joint in the sagittal and coronal planes. The semi-rigid brace had a more marked effect, although the comfort of this device should be improved.Wu D, Zheng C, Wu J, Wang L, Wei X, Wang L. Protective

Authors: Hanks Matthew M. , Sefton JoEllen M. , Oliver Gretchen D.
Published: December 2017

BACKGROUND: Advanced combat helmets (ACH) coupled with night-vision goggles (NVG) are required for tactical athletes during training and service. Head and neck injuries due to head supported mass (HSM) are a common occurrence in military personnel. The current study aimed to
investigate the effects of HSM on neck muscle fatigue that may lead to chronic stress and injury of the head and neck.METHODS: Subjects wore an ACH and were affixed with electromagnetic sensors to obtain kinematic data, as well as EMG electrodes to obtain muscle activations of bilateral
sternocleidomastoid, upper trapezius, and paraspinal muscles while running on a treadmill. Subjects performed a 2-min warmup at a walking pace, a 5-min warmup jog, running at a pace equal to 90% maximum heart rate until absolute fatigue, and lastly a 2-min cooldown at a walking pace. Kinematic
and EMG data were collected over each 2-min interval. Days later, the same subjects wore the same ACH in addition to the NVG and performed the same protocol as the first session.RESULTS: This study showed significant differences in muscle activation of the right upper trapezius
[F(1,31) = 10.100] and both sternocleidomastoid [F(1,31) = 12.280] muscles from pre-fatigue to absolute fatigue. There were no significant differences noted in the kinematic variables.DISCUSSION: This study suggests that HSM can fatigue bilateral neck flexors and rotators,
as well as fatigue the neck extensors and rotators on the contralateral side of the mounted NVG.Hanks MM, Sefton JM, Oliver GD. Neck kinematics and electromyography while wearing head supported mass during running. Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2018; 89(1):9–13.
Latitude Distribution of Sunspots: Analysis Using Sunspot Data and a Dynamo Model
Authors: Mandal Sudip , Karak Bidya Binay , Banerjee Dipankar
Published: December 2017

In this paper, we explore the evolution of sunspot latitude distribution and explore its relations with the cycle strength. With the progress of the solar cycle, the distributions in two hemispheres from mid-latitudes propagate toward the equator and then (before the usual solar minimum) these two distributions touch each other. By visualizing the evolution of the distributions in two hemispheres, we separate the solar cycles by excluding this hemispheric overlap. From these isolated solar cycles in two hemispheres, we generate latitude distributions for each cycle, starting from cycle 8 to cycle 23. We find that the parameters of these distributions, namely the central latitude (C), width (δ), and height (H), evolve with the cycle number, and they show some hemispheric asymmetries. Although the asymmetries in these parameters persist for a few successive cycles, they get corrected within a few cycles, and the new asymmetries appear again. In agreement with the previous study, we find that distribution parameters are correlated with the strengths of the cycles, although these correlations are significantly different in two hemispheres. The general trend features, i.e., (i) stronger cycles that begin sunspot eruptions at relatively higher latitudes, and (ii) stronger cycles that have wider bands of sunspot emergence latitudes, are confirmed when combining the data from two hemispheres. We explore these features using a flux transport dynamo model with stochastic fluctuations. We find that these features are correctly reproduced in this model. The solar cycle evolution of the distribution center is also in good agreement with observations. Possible explanations of the observed features based on this dynamo model are presented.

Published: December 2017

We present results of a joint Chandra and XMM-Newton analysis of the Fornax Cluster, the nearest galaxy cluster in the southern sky. Signatures of merger-induced gas sloshing can be seen in the X-ray image. We identify four sloshing cold fronts in the intracluster medium, residing at radii of 3 kpc (west), 10 kpc (northeast), 30 kpc (southwest), and 200 kpc (east). Despite spanning over two orders of magnitude in radius, all four cold fronts fall onto the same spiral pattern that wraps around the BCG NGC 1399, likely all initiated by the infall of NGC 1404. The most evident front is to the northeast, 10 kpc from the cluster center, which separates low-entropy high-metallicity gas and high-entropy low-metallicity gas. The metallicity map suggests that gas sloshing, rather than an AGN outburst, is the driving force behind the redistribution of the enriched gas in this cluster. The innermost cold front resides within the radius of the strong cool core. The sloshing timescale within the cooling radius, calculated from the Brunt–Väsälä frequency, is an order of magnitude shorter than the cooling time. It is plausible that gas sloshing is contributing to the heating of the cool core, provided that gas of different entropies can be mixed effectively via Kelvin–Helmholtz instability. The estimated age of the outermost front suggests that this is not the first infall of NGC 1404.
On a Solar Blowout Jet: Driving Mechanism and the Formation of Cool and Hot Components
Authors: Shen Yuandeng , Liu Ying D. , Su Jiangtao , Qu Zhining , Tian Zhanjun
Published: December 2017

We present observations of a blowout jet that experienced two distinct ejection stages. The first stage started from the emergence of a small positive magnetic polarity, which was cancelled by the nearby negative magnetic field and caused the rising of a mini-filament and its confining loops. This further resulted in a small jet due to the magnetic reconnection between the rising confining loops and the overlying open field. The second ejection stage was mainly due to successive removal of the confining field by reconnection: the filament erupted, and the erupting cool filament material directly combined with the hot jet that originated form the reconnection region and therefore formed the cool and hot components of the blowout jet. During the two ejection stages, cool Hα jets are also observed cospatial with their coronal counterparts, but their appearance times are earlier by a few minutes than those of the hot coronal jets. The hot coronal jets are therefor possibly caused by the heating of the cool Hα jets or the rising of the reconnection height from the chromosphere to the corona. The scenario that magnetic reconnection occurred between the confining loops and the overlying open loops is supported by many observational facts, including the bright patches on both sides of the mini-filament, hot plasma blobs along the jet body, and periodic metric radio type III bursts at the very beginnings of the two stages. The evolution and characteristics of these features show the detailed nonlinear process in magnetic reconnection.

Authors: Haddad Nadia , Ben Khelifa Leïla , Matter Hans C. , Flamand Anne , Wandeler Alexander I.
Published: December 2017

Quatre types d’appâts ont été testés simultanément sur 200 chiens (50 chiens/type d’appât). L’appât “tête de poulet”-TP a été significativement le meilleur appât, avec un pourcentage d’acceptation de 96% et un taux de succès vaccinal de 94% ; l’appât industriel à base de “farine de poisson”-FP a occupé la seconde position avec un taux d’acceptation de 80% et un taux de succès vaccinal de 62%.

L’essai de deux vaccins à virus atténués dérivés de la souche SAD, SAD Berne et SAG 1, a par ailleurs confirmé l’immunogénicité par la voie orale de ces souches chez le chien, et encourage donc à envisager ce mode de vaccination chez cette espèce, en complément de la vaccination par voie parentérale.

L’interdiction de manger de la viande de porc est le plus souvent présentée comme étant, à l’origine, un impératif d’ordre hygiénique.

La question, examinée dans le contexte actuel, ainsi que dans une perspective historique, permet d’établir que l’interdiction ou la non-interdiction de consommer de la viande de porc est surtout la conséquence d’un comportement d’ordre religieux, et non d’un impératif d’ordre hygiénique.

Published: December 2017

Abstract. The article answers the question, what really are the small underground rivers with artificial watercourses: water bodies or city engineering infrastructure objects? The place of such rivers in metropolis water objects system is identified. The ecological state and the degree of urbanization of small rivers, as well as the dynamics of change in these indicators are analysed on the Kiev city example with the help of water objects cadastre. It was found that the registration of small rivers in Kyiv city is not conducted, and the summary information on such water objects is absent and is not taken into account when making managerial decisions at the urban level. To solve this problem, we propose to create some water bodies accounting system (water cadastre).

Long-term city development forecasting by Forrester – Graham system dynamics model is provided over Kiev urban area.
Supporting Adolescent Exploration and Commitment: Identity Formation, Thriving, and Positive Youth Development
Authors: Arnold Mary Elizabeth
Published: December 2017

The large body of literature on adolescent identity formation, pre-dating and found largely outside the main body of positive youth development (PYD) literature, shows that identity formation remains a key process for adolescent well-being. This paper revisits the critical adolescent task of identity formation proposed by Erikson (1950) and outlines an alignment of identity formation with adolescent thriving and PYD. By highlighting the congruency of identity formation and PYD the paper considers the role that youth development programs can play in assisting the process of identity formation in adolescents. Practical program implications for facilitating identity formation are presented.

Non-Western Concepts of Language: Are they of Any Use for the Scientific Knowledge of Language?
Authors: Bernárdez Enrique
Published: December 2017

Few essential concepts have been so much debated as ‘language’; its definition opens the way to the development of new linguistic schools, approaches, etcetera. In this discussion, the Western views on language are taken for granted, as the only point of departure which guarantees and renders possible a scientifically sound science of language. The non-Western conceptualisations of language are very seldom mentioned in mainstream linguistic discussions and when they are, it is mainly as examples of non-scientific, naïve thinking – with a few well-known exceptions. This paper is organised in three parts: (1) Why -and how- the ‘non-Western’ conceptualisations of language are set aside as non-scientific, whereas the Western views and conceptualisations are seen as the central factor in linguistic theorising. (2) Examples of important ways of conceptualising language in three ancient literate cultures, viz. India, China, and Japan. (3) Conclusions on the main features of the ‘Eastern’ approaches which coincide with or may be profitable for present-day linguistics at large.
La crisis fronteriza colombo-venezolana en las pantallas: Análisis desde la comunicación política
Authors: Cárdenas Ruiz Juan David
Published: December 2017

Colombia y Venezuela vivieron una de sus peores crisis bilaterales en el año 2015 con el cierre de la frontera por parte del gobierno de Nicolas Maduro. Por el impacto que dicho cierre tuvo sobre la vida de los residentes en la frontera el tema ocupó los primeros lugares de la agenda por un periodo de tiempo importante.El Observatorio de Medios de la Universidad de la Sabana analizó el cubrimiento de la crisis fronteriza realizado por los noticieros RCN, Caracol y TRO buscando identificar la agenda, los frames y elementos informativos predominantes en la construcción mediática de la crisis.Se identifica un desbalance muy fuerte en la construcción mediática del conflicto, una fuerte participación de fuentes ciudadanas y una tendencia al predominio de los enfoques dramáticos en los frames informativos, sin abandonar el componente político de la crisis.
Higher Education in Italy: Spatial Accessibility, Participation and Drop-outs
Authors: Türk Umut
Published: December 2017

Most previous research has focused on individual and family characteristics as predictors of high school leavers’ behaviour towards higher education. However, far too little attention has been paid to the spatial dimension of the subject. This paper aims to narrow this gap by studying whether spatial accessibility of universities from parental residences influences the decisions of higher education participation and dropouts once enrolled to a university in Italy. First a modified version of Hansen gravity index measures the accessibility of HE institutions then a Probit model uses computed access scores across Italian provinces (NUTS3 level regions) to explore likelihood of university attendance and completion. The results show that spatial accessibility is influential when deciding to enrol a university and for successfully completing a degree.
