Published: November 2022

Internet of Vehicles (IoV) has been viewed as a pivotal innovation for laying out Intelligent Transportation Systems in shrewd urban communities and is perhaps of the most encouraging application later on Internet of Things. the 6th era has started to arise. With the appearance of 6G interchanges, tremendous organization frameworks, be generally utilized, and the amount of organization hubs will rise remarkable development, which brings about extremely high energy utilization. As perhaps of the most encouraging application in future Internet of Things, Internet of Vehicles (IoV) has been recognized as an essential innovation for fostering the Clever Transportation Frameworks in brilliant urban areas. With the rise of the sixth generation (6G) correspondences innovations, monstrous network frameworks will be thickly sent and the quantity of network hubs will increment dramatically, leading to very high energy utilization. There has been an upsurge important to foster the green IoV towards maintainable vehicular correspondence and networking in the 6G time. Be that as it may, as an extraordinary versatile ad-hoc network, the energy cost in an IoV framework includes the correspondence and calculation energy in addition to the fuel utilization and the power cost of moving vehicles. Besides, the energy collecting innovation, which is probably going to be adopted generally in 6G frameworks, will entangle the improvement of energy proficiency in the whole framework.A change in the 6G period, there has been an expansion in interest in fostering the green IoV for supportable vehicle correspondence and systems administration. Nonetheless, as a remarkable versatile impromptu organization, an IoV framework's energy cost incorporates energy for correspondence and figuring. Reinforcement Learning (RL) can successfully address issues with decision-making to accomplish this goal. Large-scale wireless networks have enormous and complex state and action spaces, though. As a result, RL might not be able to identify the ideal plan of action in a timely manner. To solve this problem, Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), a infusion of RL and DL, has been developed.

Teachers are challenged to teach for all learners in the classroom to benefit. Teachers are tasked to adjust and modify the teaching and learning essentials to meet learners’ needs. The study examined the challenges and strategies of adaptive instruction in Junior High Schools in the Jirapa Municipality of the Upper West Region of Ghana. The study used pragmatists’ philosophy, mixed method approach and Cross-sectional research design. Humanistic learning theory developed by Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers, and James F. T. Bugental in the early 1960’s. Data for this study was gathered using interviews, observational protocol and questionnaires. A sample size of 80 learners, 10 headteachers and 0ne Municipal Education Training Officer were selected for the study using purposive sampling method. Qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis approach whilst the quantitative data was analysed using SPSS version 20. The findings revealed that: teachers were unable to use adaptive instruction effectively because some had inadequate adaptive expertise; time constraint; large class size; overloaded curriculum; multi-grade teaching and poor supervision. Also, on the strategies of responding to the challenges in the classroom, majority of the teachers claimed they used mixed ability grouping; ability grouping; collaborative learning; co-operative learning; inquiring based learning; microteaching; self-directed learning and task analysis approach as adaptive instructional strategies to teaching learners with varied learning needs. Unfortunately, in observing how teachers used the foregoing strategies, it was found that many did not use mixed and ability grouping as a strategy in teaching varied learners in the classroom. Amongst the various strategies, learners rated co-operative learning as the best form of learning strategy for responding to their learning differences.

Published: November 2022

Citizens in Nigeria are faced with continuous rise in the general price level and as a result, most families find it difficult to meet up the basic life sustaining needs. The price level in Nigeria is now a serious concern as the cost of feeding increases daily without a corresponding increase in household income. This study used time series data from the period of 1983 to 2021 to assess the impact of monetary policy on inflation in Nigeria. To ensure the stationarity of the variables in the model, the study adopted the Phillip Peron Unit root test. Based on the order of integrations, bound test approach to cointegration was used to ensure the existence of long run association among the variables in the model. An autoregressive distributed lag model is used to test the impact of monetary policy variables on inflation and on gross domestic product. The study found that monetary policy negatively affects inflation in Nigeria through liquidity ratio, money supply and exchange rate. The study therefore recommends that monetary policy instruments such as liquidity ratio, money supply and exchange rate should be used when the target is to reduce or control inflation in the country. Government should adopt loose monetary policy to stimulate aggregate purchases. With this, money supply can be increased when there is decrease in aggregate spending in an economy

Published: November 2022

O presente artigo científico tem por objetivo central analisar a evolução da educação infantil dentro do cenário educacional Brasileiro e através dessa análise apresentar as diferenças entre o modelo presencial e remoto instaurado durante o momento pandêmico em que vivemos atualmente. O presente artigo foi construído através de uma abordagem qualitativa, onde foram utilizados vários autores como Ferreira JR. (2010), Aranha (2006) entre outros, que forneceram uma análise histórica da educação infantil brasileira do período colonial à atualidade. Com isso, olhando para o elemento histórico e buscou-se analisar o passado e o momento atual em que se encontra a educação infantil dentro do cenário pandêmico e o resultado dessa análise corresponde a uma ressignificação daquilo que se chama de “ensino formal” ou “ensino regular”, aonde foi detectado que o professor saiu da sua chamada zona de conforto e se aventurou nos caminhos das ferramentas digitais abrindo com isso uma nova visão sobre o que é a nova educação infantil que passa a ser uma modalidade que pode se classificar como “hibrida” ou não-presencial.
Attitudes Toward Vaccination and Its Impact on Economy
Authors: SAYDALIEV HAYOT BERK , KADYROV SHIRALI , CHIN LEE
Published: November 2022

Rapid rollouts of the vaccine are imperative for economic recovery; however, vaccine hesitancy could draw out not only the pandemic but also social distancing and lockdown requirements. The main purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate whether the vaccination rate affects government budget constraints as well as whether vaccine hesitancy matters in controlling the dynamics of the Covid-19 epidemic in Uzbekistan. We integrated a Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Removed (SEIR) epidemic model with a macroeconomic model to explore the impact of the vaccination. Our results show that vaccine hesitancy substantially influences excess COVID-19-related deaths, such that governments that are able to sustain quick vaccine rollout rates would have a 20-times lower excess death rate. A slow-paced vaccine rollout has compounded effects over time, producing much heavier consequences for the population than a rapid rollout rate. In Uzbekistan, a counterfactual exercise that intensified vaccine hesitancy between April and November 2021 likely increased the death toll by approximately thousand deaths. Therefore, the policy gains of accelerating the vaccination rate are significant, given that it would minimize both cumulative mortality and the risk of new virus variants while achieving herd immunity. Concurrently, efforts to mitigate hesitancy are crucial, particularly if the percentage of the population that is against the vaccination is greater than the percentage needed for herd immunity. To this end, our empirical study helps shed light on the challenging dynamics between health and the economy during the pandemic as well as the mechanisms through which these effects take place.

Housing satisfaction connotes personal security, privacy and good housing conditions essential for people’s health and well-being. This study analyzes the housing satisfaction of residents in the core area of Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. The study adopted a mixed-method that combines quantitative and qualitative approaches. The study specifically investigated the socio-economic characteristics of the residents (income, type of buildings, and ages of buildings), their source of water and source of power supply, land-use conversion, and conditions of social amenities in the core areas and resident’s level of satisfaction indices. An empirical research was explored for use, multiple sampling techniques was used to select 357 cases from a frame of 4,981 respondents who supplied information through the questionnaire instrument administered to three wards. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the set -data collected. Data processed was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 and Microsoft excel. Analysis of data was discussed using frequency count and distribution, presented through the use of tables, figures, and percentages. Measurements of weight were attached to an element, hence used for the analysis. Based on the research findings, monthly income, type of building, and age of buildings determine the level of housing satisfaction. Ease access to public transport, proximity to work, and affordability determine resident satisfaction in the core city. The research recommends that, the government should develop strategies that will improve the condition of social amenities with a low relatively index of satisfaction. Public and private participation/partnership (PPP) in maintaining existing facilities and collaboration with the Benin Electricity Distribution Company to enhance stable power supply is advocated.

This study examined the perception and attitude of undergraduate students towards the use of the computer-based test (CBT) for examination at the University of Lagos. The researcher formulated and tested four research hypotheses to direct the study's findings. The Descriptive Survey Research Method was used to sample two hundred (200) undergraduate students at the University of Lagos. The sample comprised 88 male and 112 female 300 level students randomly selected from four different faculties (Education, Science, Social Sciences and Arts). Data was collected using a structured questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.76 when tested on the pilot study. Simple percentage and frequency counts were used to analyse the demographic data. The independent t-test statistical tool tested the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance hypotheses. Findings from the study showed that 1) there is no significant gender difference in the views and attitudes of undergraduates towards the use of CBT for examination in the University of Lagos, 2) there is a perceived significant impact of CBT on the performance of undergraduate students in the University of Lagos, 3) there are significant problems associated with the use of CBT for examination in the University of Lagos. According to the above findings, the study recommends that the university's examination board should consistently adopt the CBT techniques in examination and increase the degree of transparency in the presentation of exam results, as it extends the examination duration for calculation-based courses. Additionally, the test developer should formulate more CBTs than the traditional paper and pencil tests.

Uluslararası politikanın en önemli aktörleri olmaya devam eden devletlerin büyük bir kısmını küçük ülkeler oluşturmaktadır. Uluslararası politikada devletin sınırlı güce sahip olması şeklinde ele alınan küçüklük, devletlerin dış politikasının belirlenmesinde önemli yer tutmaktadır. Küçük nüfus, küçük alan, diplomasi ağırlıklı politika gibi ortak kimi özelliklerle beraber her küçük devlet sahip olduğu maddi ve manevi güç kaynaklarına paralel kendini uluslararası alanda konumlandırdığı pozisyona göre dış politika takip etmektedir. Nüfus, askeri kapasite, yüzölçümü gibi objektif ile ülke liderlerinin ve uluslararası toplumun Kuveyt’i nasıl algıladığı şeklindeki sübjektif ölçümler temel alındığında Kuveyt küçük devlet kabul edilmektedir. Böylece Kuveyt’in dış politikasının en önemli belirleyicilerinden birini küçüklük oluşturmaktadır. Tarihine bakıldığında Kuveyt’in küçük ülke olmanın yarattığı zayıflık dolayısıyla sürekli var olmaya ilişkin güvenlik tehditlerini yakından hissettiği, dahası 1990’da doğrudan bir dış gücün işgaline uğradığı görülmektedir. Bu noktada öncelikli ulusal çıkarı varlığının devamı olan Kuveyt, ülke küçüklüğünün yarattığı hassasiyeti giderecek dış politika stratejileri geliştirmiştir. Dünyanın sayılı petrol ülkelerinden biri olarak sahip olduğu ekonomik güce ve askeri zayıflık, küçük nüfus, hırslı büyük komşular, istikrarsız coğrafi bölgede bulunma şeklindeki güç sınırlandırıcı unsurlara göre uluslararası politikada kendini konumlandıran Kuveyt, petrol gücü üzerinden yumuşak güç yaratma, büyük güce dayanma, komşu büyük güçlerle ilişkilerde denge, sorunlarda tarafsızlık ve arabuluculuk, daha genel olarak diplomasi temelli dış politika stratejileriyle güvenliğini sağlamaya çalışmaktadır. Yakın dönem Kuveyt dış politikasının küçük devlet üzerinden incelendiği çalışmada, küçüklük olgusunun uluslararası politikada devlet davranışlarına etkisini ortaya koymak amaçlanmaktadır. Küçüklüğün uluslararası politikada devletlerin gücünü kimi zaman sınırlandırarak dış politikada önemli bir belirleyici olabileceği, ülkelerin güvenliğini doğrudan etkileyebileceği Kuveyt örneği üzerinden ortaya çıkmaktadır.

Juégame un cuento: la reescritura lúdica de Caperucita roja en Gabriela Mistral, Ema Wolf y Giovanna Rivero.
Authors: Velayos Amo Beatriz
Published: November 2022

El cuento tradicional se puede asimilar, por sus características innatas, al juego reglado o estructurado. Por ello, la reescritura de estos cuentos supone un nivel lúdico más, en el que el autor propone al lector una serie de indicios para hallar la relación entre su texto y el cuento al que referencia. El análisis de tres reescrituras de Caperucita roja, escritas por tres autoras hispanoamericanas, arroja luz sobre las diversas estrategias de reescritura que pueden utilizarse, y sobre todo sobre cómo las referencias intertextuales en estos cuentos crean una profundidad de significado que permite que el texto interactúe con el lector y, a través de su interpretación, con su sociedad contemporánea, realizando de esta un comentario crítico y feminista.
Simple como un juego de niños
Authors: Licata Nicolas
Published: November 2022

Yendo y viniendo entre los ensayos y la ficción de César Aira (Coronel Pringles, 1949), así como varias teorías del juego, el presente artículo propone un análisis de la indisoluble tríada que forman en su obra el juego, la niñez y la creación. Después de resaltar la presencia del juego en la ficción de Aira, se examina su visión de la literatura como juego, más precisamente como un juego sin límites ni control, donde la libertad y la improvisación deberían prevalecer sobre el respeto de las convenciones. Mediante esta visión genuinamente lúdica de la literatura, el autor sitúa su obra en una línea de experimentaciones que, procedente de la vanguardia surrealista, se propone movilizar los poderes de la imaginación a fin de romper con el racionalismo y el esfuerzo arduo, juzgados como excesivos, de la “buena” literatura tradicional. Aira, como los surrealistas antes de él, ve en la mirada de la infancia el reservorio de fuerzas ideal para renovar la percepción artística del mundo y, así, redefinir las reglas del juego literario.

Methods to identify epithelial stem cells
Authors: Jeong Youngtae
Published: November 2022

Epithelial tissue is a tissue type that mainly covers the surfaces of the body and organs. Most epithelial tissues are composed of highly proliferative cells, necessitating robust stem cell activity. Epithelial tissue is also the most common site of cancers. Therefore, identifying epithelial stem cells and their self-renewal mechanisms is a prerequisite for promoting epithelial homeostasis, understanding cancer pathogenesis, and developing regenerative therapy and cancer prevention. Over the decades, diverse experimental techniques have been developed to identify epithelial stem cells in many organs and their self-renewal mechanisms from different angles. This review briefly introduces the various experimental methods used in stem cell identification, their rationales, and examples applying those tools to tissue stem cell identification.

Cross-cultural differences in leadership and management of agricultural projects in Africa
Authors: Rogito Jeremiah M. , Nyamota Geoffrey
Published: November 2022

Purpose. The paper explores leadership in the face of cross-cultural differences in the management of agricultural projects in Africa. Cross-cultural differences are a result of the diversity of cultures. The differences are especially in behaviors, attitudes, functioning, and communication in the management of agricultural projects across Africa.

Results. Cultural varieties are observed in the leadership of agricultural projects based on the leadership style of the manager or leader. The leadership styles range from servant leadership, and charismatic to transformational leadership, these differences sometimes cause conflicts. The culture of the community or society has an effect on the management of agricultural projects as well. This is witnessed in the case of individualistic versus collectivistic societies; these two cultures bring about cross-cultural leadership differences. Misunderstandings arise due to their different beliefs, backgrounds, or values. To address cross-cultural differences, both the leader and follower must do something, for a greater impact on agricultural projects in Africa.

Scientific novelty. The paper highlights that cultural intelligence has a great deal of impact in management of agricultural projects in Africa. However, cross cultural leaders in this space need to demonstrate cultural intelligence beyond linguistic intelligence to have interpersonal, intrapersonal and spatial intelligence to effectively deliver in the cross-cultural agricultural world.

Practical value. This paper entails ideas that will help leaders of agricultural projects in Africa overcome cross cultural difference for effective management of the projects. The followers also have a role to play in managing cross cultural difference so to achieve greater impact in agriculture projects in Africa. Flexible leadership and culturally sensitivity while promoting creativity and motivation there will be great achievement to project goals. To achieve great success in a cross-cultural environment, mutual respect, leadership and effective cross-cultural communication is required.

Мета. Метою дослідження є визначення перспектив розвитку лісокористування на основі проведення статистичного аналізу динаміки основних показників протягом 2015–2020 рр. та прогнозування стану лісових ресурсів на прикладі Львівської та Харківської областей.

Результати. У цьому дослідженні проаналізовано тенденції та сучасний стан лісових ресурсів у Львівській і Харківській областях; здійснено статистичну оцінку й аналіз взаємодії суспільства з лісовими ресурсами протягом 2015–2020 рр. Проведено аналіз за показниками площі рубок, лісових насаджень, лісовідновлення, кількості лісових пожеж і реалізації лісової продукції. Представлено пропозиції щодо поліпшення стану лісових ресурсів в аналізованих регіонах. Установлено, що Львівській області більш притаманне стале відтворення й екологізація лісокористування, ніж Харківській області. У Харківській області лісистість більше ніж удвічі менша, ніж у Львівській області; а враховуючи, що тут критично велика кількість лісових пожеж, лісовідновлення незначне, можна зробити висновок про критичний стан лісових ресурсів у Харківській області.

Наукова новизна. Здійснено порівняльний аналіз тенденцій, сучасного стану та перспектив розвитку лісових ресурсів у двох прикордонних областях різних частин України (західної – Львівської області та східної – Харківської області). Установлено, що в цілому за досліджуваний період ліси Харківської області перебували в критичному стані порівняно з лісами Львівської області.

Практична цінність. Результати дослідження можна застосувати для розробки заходів, що першочергово потрібні Харківської області, яка, згідно з розрахунками, більше потерпає від негативних факторів. Водночас результати прогнозування розвитку лісокористування можуть бути корисними для управлінь лісового та мисливського господарства обох областей під час визначення перспектив розвитку.

Gifted and talented learners exhibit personality characteristics that make them manifest different competencies to undertake tasks that their peers cannot. However, in Nairobi County, learning competencies of talented and gifted pupils in public primary schools are below average. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the personality characteristics as predictors of academic achievement among gifted and talented learners in public primary schools in Nairobi City County, Kenya. The study adopted a field survey research design. Target population comprised 3,247 teachers and 19,863 learners in classes VI-VIII totalling 23, 110 participants from which a sample of 391 respondents was determined using Yamane’s Formula. Stratified sampling was used to create 17 strata based on number of sub-counties in Nairobi County. From each sub-county, 13 teachers and 10 gifted and talented learners in classes were randomly selected. This procedure realized a sample of 221 teachers and 170 gifted and talented learners in classes VI-VIII. Questionnaires were used to collect data from teachers and learners. A pilot study was conducted among 40 respondents from a sample of public primary schools in Nairobi County to establish validity and reliability. Validity was ascertained based on the views of experts in educational psychology and special needs. Reliability was determined using split-half technique and reliability coefficient, r = 0.725, was obtained using Cronbach’s Alpha Method which indicated high reliability. Qualitative data were analysed thematically along the objectives and presented thematically in narrative forms. Quantitative data were analysed descriptively using frequencies and percentages and inferentially using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Analysis with the help of Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS 23) to test the hypotheses. Quantitative findings were presented using tables and charts. Results indicated that gifted learners in Nairobi County public schools exhibited positive self-concept characteristics, practiced self-regulated learning, engaged in problem-solving frequently, and benefitted from achievement motivation. Also, analysis of the results addressing the null hypothesis showed that problem-solving has a statistically significant influence on academic achievement among gifted and talented learners in public primary schools in Nairobi County. The variable is positively correlated with number work activities (r = .508, p = .005), language activities (r = .538, p = .003), and essential life skills (r = .500, p = .006). It was recommended that Teachers and parents should create an appropriate learning environment for gifted pupils in public schools to create a positive self-concept, motivation, regulated learning, and problem-solving approach to improve their academic achievement.

Abstract. A new open biomass burning inventory is presented that
relies on the fire radiative power data from the Visible Infrared Imaging
Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on board the Suomi NPP satellite. This VIIRS-based
Fire Emission Inventory (VFEI) provides emission data from early 2012 to
2019 for more than 40 species of gases and aerosols at spatial resolutions
of around 500 m. We found that VFEI produces similar results when compared
to other major inventories in many regions of the world. Additionally, we
conducted regional simulations using VFEI with the Weather Research and
Forecasting (WRF) model with chemistry (WRF-Chem) for Southern Africa
(September 2016) and North America (July–August 2019). We compared aerosol
optical depth (AOD) from the model against two observational datasets: the
MODIS Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC) product
and AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) stations. Results showed good
agreement between both simulations and the datasets, with mean AOD biases of
around +0.03 for Southern Africa and −0.01 for North America. Both
simulations were not only able to reproduce the AOD magnitudes accurately,
but also the inter-diurnal variations of smoke concentration. In addition,
we made use of the airborne data from the ObseRvations of Aerosols above
CLouds and their intEractionS (ORACLES; Southern Africa) and the Fire
Influence on Regional to Global Environments Experiment and Air Quality
(FIREX-AQ; North America) campaigns to evaluate the simulations. In Southern
Africa, results showed correlations higher than 0.77 when comparing carbon
monoxide and black carbon. In North America, correlations were lower and
biases higher. However, this is because the model was not able to reproduce
the timing, shape, and location of individual plumes over complex terrain
(Rocky Mountains) during the FIREX-AQ campaign period.

Abstract. Vor dem Hintergrund des nunmehr auch im
deutschsprachigen Raum gestiegenen politikwissenschaftlichen Interesses an
Polarforschung identifiziert dieser Beitrag aus drei Perspektiven
Forschungsstränge, von denen Impulse für einen intensivierten
Austausch zwischen politik- und naturwissenschaftlicher Polarforschung
ausgehen könnten: die Makroperspektive nimmt Dynamiken und Regulierung
des Erdsystems in den Blick; die Mesoperspektive die Organisation von
Beziehungen zwischen Wissenschaft und Politik in institutionellen Designs
und Prozessen; die Mikroperspektive schließlich das Zusammenspiel
verschiedener Akteure bei der Politikgestaltung und -implementation.
Combating Islamophobia: A Transitivity Analysis of Selected Muslim Leaders’ UNGA Speeches
Authors: Raja Arshad Mehmood , Israr Ahmad  , Shah Muhammad Munhib
Published: November 2022

This study focuses on the transitivity patterns employed by Imran Khan (the ex. prime minister of Pakistan), Mahathir Mohammad (The ex. prime minister of Malaysia), and Recip Tayyip Erdogan (the president of Turkiye) in their United Nation General Assembly speeches to combat Islamophobia. Using Fred Halliday’s model of transitivity patterns, besides looking at the similarities and differences found in the selected speeches, the study also investigates the role that transitivity patterns play in the meaning-making process. The researchers, for this purpose, opt for a qualitative analysis that identifies and studies these patterns while drawing conclusions regarding their effect. After classifying the transcripts of the speeches into clauses, specific data tables and charts were used to label and analyze the data acquired. The analysis of the data shows that, in the eighty-five (85) clauses in khan’s speech, thirty-one (31) in Mohammad’s speech, and twenty-one (21) clauses in Erdogan’s speech, different numbers of types of transitivity processes have been used. Khan and Muhammad use five and Erdogan does four (out of the six process types proposed by Halliday). The study, therefore, concludes that the more prominent process types in all three speeches are material and relational processes. All other processes have a different distribution in the selected speeches. The basic idea that these speeches convey is that Islam is a peaceful religion that respects humanity irrespective of a person’s race, religion, and color. The themes highlighted in these speeches are misrepresentation, suppression, and exclusion of Muslims in the world, and the speakers try to present the true picture of Islam contrary to what is presented by the West.
A Psychoanalytic Perspective on the Spiritual Development of Santiago in Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist

Published: November 2022

Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist depicts the protagonist’s hunt for treasure which is highly symbolic of the spiritual quest for self-realization and self-discovery. Motivated by the recurring dream of a hidden treasure and desirous of bringing meaning to his life, Santiago undertakes a journey. This paper contends that his journey towards the realization of his dream actually involves a psychological process of individuation that integrates the contrasting aspects of the human psyche and makes use of the unconscious as conscious. It is an attempt to analyze his physical travels from a psychoanalytic perspective so as to posit that seeking spirituality is more about psychological change than temporal and spatial mobility. This investigation is, in fact, based on the exploration of how Coelho’s protagonist completes this process of wholeness and it draws on the theory of individuation presented by Swiss Psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung. By using Jungian Archetypal method of analysis, it can be seen that Santiago is very much influenced by operative archetypes, the acceptance and integration of which has an impact on his spiritual development. The realization that the physical treasure lies exactly where he initiated his journey is the consequence of his self-actualization.

The studies confirm that instructions and feedback that induce external focus of attention (oriented on movement outcome) result with greater efficiency in motor performance and learning regarding internal focus of attention (oriented on bodily dimensions). Advantages and differences between external and internal focus of attention have been proved also in different levels of sport and recreational expertise. In this study, 10 recreational archers were tested in three different conditions: C1 - freely oriented focus of attention, C2 – internally oriented focus of attention, and C3 – externally oriented focus of attention. The subjects first undertook the C1 condition, and afterwards the next two conditions were randomly decided. According to the hypothesis, the main goal was to investigate the effect of external and internal focus of attention on precision of the shots. According to the results, in externally focused condition, recreational archers had better results than in other conditions with higher number of 9 points and lesser number of misses. Based on findings from this paper, adopting an external focus of attention should be beneficial for the shot precision, self-fulfillment and feelings of accomplishment in recreational archers.
