Health care in state collective farms in the post-war period in “The rural medicine journal”

State Collective Farms (PGR) were established in Poland after the Second World War. Their employees were covered by free health care provided by rural health centres. The knowledge gained from a search of medical bibliographies provided little insight into the subject. On the other hand, an analysis of the contents of “The Rural Medicine” scientific journal (1963–1994) provided valuable information. The information obtained from the journal made it possible to visualise the social and living situation of State Collective Farm (PGR) employees, the state of hygiene of their dwellings and workplaces and the health care provided to them. The state of health care provided to the farm workers during the mentioned above period was unsatisfactory due to the shortage of qualified medical staff as well as the insufficient number of health centres, the lack of housing and means of transport for the employed. However, in accordance with the principles of the national class policy applied at the time, employees of State Collective Farms were favoured through the organisation of tiny and greater health centres at farm premises. The employees were also given priority in the use of services provided by other than local health centres, as well as additional medical care during the period of field work, etc.

Texts of Roman Historians on the Latin Language Course at a Modern University and in the Former Polish Educational System – Historical Outline and Selected Didactic Issues

In this article the author focusses on two problems: these are a reception of Roman historical texts in the former Polish educational system and methods that can be used while working with students on translation and analysis of Roman historical texts in Latin classes at a modern university. In the first part of the paper, in a short outline the author presents which texts of Roman historians were read and how they were worked on in Polish schools from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. In the second part of the article the author deals with selected didactic issues, which are often focused on during Latin classes nowadays. The author discusses here her own didactic experiences and presents some methods of working on reading, translation and analysis of Latin historical texts that can be used to make teaching and learning interesting and inspiring for both a lecturer and student.
Self-reflecting journals as a metacognitive tool to encourage greater learner autonomy – on the example of EAP students
Authors: Ziembińska Katarzyna
Published: December 2023

This article focuses on the use of self-reflective journaling as a meta-cognitive tool for enhancing the learner’s autonomy in pre-sessional English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses. It begins by reviewing the literature on language learning strategies, with a particular focus on meta-cognitive strategies. Self-reflection is presented as one of those strategies, which should be implemented in the learning process. Later in the article, several fragments from authentic journal entries written by pre-sessional EAP students to illustrate how the practice of self-reflection can be used to improve learning outcomes. The author advocates incorporating self-reflective journaling into the curriculum, as it provides students with opportunities to think critically, provides extra writing practice and enhances their learning experience. It also provides teachers with a valuable tool for tracking their students’ progress and understanding of course material.
Cardiorespiratory Responses to an Acute Bout of High Intensity Interval Training and Moderate Intensity Continuous Training on a Recumbent Handcycle in People With Spinal Cord Injury: A Within-Subject Design
Authors: Peters Joseph , Halloran Kellie , Focht Michael , Huang Kathryn , Kersh Mariana , Rice Ian
Published: December 2023

Objectives

To compare acute cardiorespiratory responses during high intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) on a recumbent handcycle in persons with spinal cord injury (PwSCI).

Methods

Eleven males and nine females with chronic SCI (T3 – L5), aged 23 (9) years, participated in this within-subject design. Based off peak power outputs from an incremental test to exhaustion, participants engaged in a HIIT and MICT session at matched workloads on a recumbent handcycle. Workloads (Joules), time, oxygen uptake (VO2), metabolic equivalent of task (MET), heart rate (HR), and energy expenditure (kcal) were recorded during HIIT and MICT.

Results

Total workload was similar across HIIT (87820 ± 24021 Joules) and MICT sessions (89044 ± 23696 Joules; p > .05). HIIT (20.00 [.03] minutes) was shorter in duration than MICT (23.20 [2.56]; p < .01). Average VO2 (20.96 ± 4.84 vs. 129.38 ± 19.13 mL/kg/min O2), MET (7.54 ± 2.00 vs. 6.21 ± 1.25), and HR (146.26 ± 13.80 vs. 129.38 ± 19.13 beats per minute) responses were significantly greater during HIIT than MICT (p < .01). Participants burned significantly more kilocalories during HIIT (128.08 ± 35.65) than MICT (118.93 ± 29.58; p < .01) and at a faster rate (6.40 ± 1.78 [HIIT] vs. 5.09 ± 1.14 [MICT] kcal/min; p < .01).

Conclusion

HIIT elicits greater increases in oxygen uptake and HR than MICT in PwSCI. In significantly less time, HIIT also burned more calories than MICT.

Authors: Oyebode O. J. , Abdulazeez Z. O.
Published: December 2023

A strategic shift towards sustainable, appropriate supply chain networks and data-driven decision-making in solid waste management in rural and urban areas can drastically reduce environmental pollution. This study utilizes a hybrid strategy of genetic algorithms and fuzzy logic to improve the supply chain network in solid waste management in Lagos State. In this research, four local governments in Lagos State are taken as a case study to help Identify solid waste in those selected areas, acquire data to better understand the supply chain network in solid waste management, and use the data acquired to model for the algorithm. A series of 30 iterations were carried out using a fitness parameter of frequency, price range, and means of disposal to determine who should be given utmost importance in the chain. Supply chains often exhibit inadequacies that may be enriched using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools. The optimization model is flexible and useful, so everyone involved in the chain can coexist harmoniously. One of the reasons causing these inadequacies in proper waste management is a poorly planned supply chain network. It was concluded that the scavengers must be recognized as major participants in the movement of waste from houses to these provided refuse bins, with their frequency increased to 6 times daily with dustbins ranging from 9-20 be provided on each street which the private service participants (PSP).

Published: December 2023

En República Dominicana el deporte ha logrado resultados significativos, pudiendo ser superiores si los atletas contaran con eficientes estrategias de afrontamiento al estrés y habilidades psicológicas variadas. Los objetivos son identificar las estrategias de afrontamiento al estrés competitivo que emplean los atletas de alto rendimiento de: Lucha, Judo, Boxeo, Atletismo, Taekwondo, Esgrima, Voleibol y Pesas, entre abril-noviembre del 2022; y valorar las características psicológicas que tienen desarrolladas. El enfoque de investigación es mixto con un diseño no experimental y transversal. Como métodos teóricos de investigación: análisis, síntesis y comparativo; método empírico: la medición. Dentro de las técnicas: entrevista al atleta, cuestionario de Estrategias de Afrontamiento en Competición Deportiva y cuestionario Características Psicológicas Relacionadas con el Rendimiento Deportivo. La muestra quedó conformada por 59 atletas del Programa Creando Sueños Olímpicos. Como resultados: la dimensión de estilo de afrontamiento más utilizada es la orientada a la tarea. Las estrategias que más refieren emplear la imaginería mental y la búsqueda de apoyo. Las características psicológicas con mayor puntaje: el logro de la motivación, y el manejo de las habilidades mentales en Boxeo, Pesas y Esgrima. Se concluye que existe la necesidad en los atletas de recursos que le permitan afrontar el estrés competitivo, al ser insuficientes y pocos los manejados: solo los atletas de Esgrima y Pesas manejan más estilos de estrategias de afrontamiento (1 a 3 tipos) además, no presentan un nivel de desarrollo adecuado para el dominio y manejo consciente de sus características psicológicas para su mejor desempeño durante la competición.

Authors: Kezia Vania Maria , Meisyaroh Siti
Published: December 2023

In essence, humans are social beings where they need each other to interact and communicate. This is also needed by children with special needs even though they have significant differences in terms of physical, psychological, cognitive and social which makes it take a longer time and process to understand something and achieve life goals. This research was conducted to determine the role of parents in forming self-concept, providing motivation, and increasing the confidence of children with special needs when interacting in the community. This research was carried out based on social interaction theory as the research basis. When humans interact there is interpersonal communication, namely communication between two or more people directly where the sender and receiver of messages can exchange messages directly. The research subjects were three mothers of children with special needs with mental retardation, namely children who have significantly below average intelligence and behavioral inability to adapt during development. This research method is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques directed interviews and documentation. Parents admit that educating them requires more patience, process, and time than children in general. The results of the research through interviews show that the role of parents is carried out in a concrete way by encouraging children to want to learn, be independent and interact with others and tell what is good and bad. So it was concluded that the role of parents is very important in forming self-concept, giving motivation and confidence to children with special needs when interacting in the community.
Influência da profundidade e desenho do preparo dental na sobrevida de facetas cerâmicas
Authors: Jeziorski Sara Alice Zago
Published: December 2023

A procura por tratamentos dentários estéticos vêm sendo crescente nos últimos anos. Com isso, se observa cada vez mais o uso de facetas cerâmicas, onde o dente precisa ser desgastado para sua cimentação. A quantidade desse desgaste e o formato que o dente ficará depois de preparado ainda geram discussões entre os cirurgiões-dentistas. Assim, o objetivo dessa revisão é avaliar os estudos dos últimos 10 anos sobre os desenhos de preparo a quantidade de desgaste dental e sua influencia na longevidade das facetas cerâmicas. Busca nas bases de dados de artigos acerca dos temas. Anteriores analisados em três aspectos. Profundidade de preparo: todos concluíram que preparos restritos a esmalte ou com mínima exposição de dentina obtiveram os melhores resultados. Preparo incisal: preparos com redução de até 2 mm obtiveram ótimos resultados, maiores preparos oferecem menor resistência a fratura. Desenho de preparo: Nesse aspecto houve divergências entre os autores. Nos posteriores foi observado que desgaste vestibular não exerce influência na resistência do material, e também maior resistência foi observada nos dentes em que houve menor preparo. Por outro lado, enquanto um estudo observou que dentes com desgaste somente oclusal proporcionam laminados com maior resistência, outro concluiu que falhas catastróficas ocorrem somente nos grupos com desgaste oclusal. Facetas em porcelana apresentam ótimos resultados de longevidade, poucas são as falhas relatadas, apesar de ainda serem necessários mais estudos a longo prazo que detalhem o tipo de preparo realizado.
Rinomodelação com ácido hialurônico e intercorrência associada à falta de colaboração do paciente
Authors: Andrade Larissa Soares
Published: December 2023

A técnica de rinomodelação proporciona a correção de pequenos defeitos nasais em casos específicos, como uma alternativa menos invasiva quando comparada à cirurgia plástica de rinoplastia. O ácido hialurônico, produto utilizado como preenchedor, tornou-se o material mais utilizado devido sua biocompatibilidade com o organismo e seu efeito ser reversível através da hialuronidase. Este estudo trata-se de um caso clínico que aborda a utilização do ácido hialurônico como preenchedor nasal injetável. Foi proposto o uso de duas marcas diferentes do material preenchedor com reticulações diferentes (restylane defyne e rennova lift). Enquanto o procedimento esteve sob controle do profissional, não houve nenhuma intercorrência. Ainda em consultório, orientações como, não massagear a região e não pressionar o local preenchido foram informadas a paciente. Uma semana após o procedimento, a paciente fez o uso de óculos sobre a região preenchida, porção superior do dorso nasal, fato que culminou no escoamento do preenchedor para as laterais do nariz, sendo removido posteriormente com a enzima que degrada o ácido hialurônico, hialuronidase. Foi indicada a troca dos óculos por outro modelo que não exercesse apoio na região preenchida. Neste caso, foi necessário enaltecer a importância da cooperação do paciente em seguir as recomendações profissionais pós-procedimento.

Authors: Oliveira Suelen Serina Gonçales de
Published: December 2023

O sorriso é a mais bela das expressões faciais e está diretamente relacionado com bem-estar, felicidade, prazer entre outros. O sorriso estético é aquele que apresenta correlação harmônica entre dente, gengiva e lábios. Quando o indivíduo apresenta mais de 2 mm de exposição gengival durante o sorriso, esse é denominado de sorriso gengival. As possíveis causas são: hiperplasia gengival, extrusão dento-alveolar, crescimento excessivo vertical da maxila, lábio curto e hiperatividade do lábio superior. Algumas opções de tratamento são: miectomia, reposicionamento labial, cirurgia ortognática e o uso da toxina botulínica. Assim, este artigo relata um caso clínico de uma paciente do sexo feminino, 54 anos de idade, com exposição gengival de 4 mm, que foi submetida ao tratamento com a toxina botulínica do tipo A por ser uma opção terapêutica menos invasiva, rápida, conservadora, com baixo índice de complicações e bem tolerada. O resultado foi um sorriso harmônico e esteticamente mais agradável. A desvantagem mais relevante é a manutenção do resultado por um curto período de tempo, ou seja, não é um procedimento definitivo.

Clinical Psychology
Authors: Shahverdyan Gayane
Published: December 2023

Usually, psychology is observed by the scientific community as a young discipline, and clinical psychology even younger. In contrast, the “biography” of clinical psychology starts from the beginnings of the formation of human self-consciousness, absorbing the history of medicine and philosophy. It is definitely connected not only with the problem of the relationship between body and soul, but with the tripartite union of body, soul and spirit, in which the soul is assigned the role of a restless mediator between them. The author makes an attempt to extract precious markers of these correlations from the history of science, and therefore includes names that were not previously mentioned in the context of the history of clinical psychology. The book is addressed to master students in the field of specialization “Clinical Psychology”, as well as to everyone who is interested in the ways that lead to solving the problems facing the science of psychology.

The Challenges of Armenia in the Context of the Transformation of the Global Development Paradigm
Authors: Yengoyan Ashot , Sargsyan Arnak , Azatyan Khosrovadukht , Yengoyan Paylak
Published: December 2023

The paradigm of modern global development, largely determined by the unipolar world order, is currently going through a period of transformation. The nature and content of the world politicaleconomic system is influenced not only by global globalization and geopolitical processes, but also by various social and national movements at the global and regional levels, the attitude of the population of countries to certain values, as well as the state of the world economy and finance, especially in those parts that traditionally are the drivers of its growth. The modern paradigm, as we know, finally took shape after the end of the Cold War and is distinguished by a clearly expressed neoliberal content, defined by many political scientists as neoliberal-libertarian monetarism. It is characterized by adherence to the neoliberal-libertarian value system, designed to ensure maximum individual freedom, with its own understanding of democratic transformations, interpretation of universal human norms of behavior based on the omnipotence of market relations. The latter are presented as a panacea for all negative phenomena both in the economy and in other areas of public life. Highlighting the concept of “monetarism” in the name of the global paradigm emphasizes the exceptional role of financial and economic policy in determining the vector of global development.

Sources of the III Millennium BC about the Armenian Highland
Authors: Movsisyan Artak , Ghazaryan Robert , Tsakanyan Ruslan , Karapetyan Lianna
Published: December 2023

Sources on the ancient history of the Armenian Highland have been found in almost all ancient Near Eastern countries that had a written culture. This indicates the important role that our country played in the region in ancient times. The oldest information about the history of Armenia is provided by cuneiform sources dating back to the III millennium BC, discovered in the territory of ancient Sumer, Ebla, Akkad, in northern Mesopotamia and Iran. Cuneiform sources also testify to the fact that the countries of Aratta and Subur were one of the first state formations on the territory of the Armenian Highland. The earliest references to Armenia as Aratta-Ararat/Urarat - Urartu, S/Shubur - S/Shubartu - Shubria, Arman(i/um) - Armi/e – Armina, date back to the first half of the III millennium BC when the Armenian language became an independent language and the carriers of the Proto-Armenian language lived in the Armenian Highland in the III-II millennia BC.
Sources of the First Half of the II Millennium BC about the Armenian Highland

Published: December 2023

In Old Assyrian (“Cappadocian”), Old Hittite and Babylonian sources of the first half of the II millennium BC there is information about the history of the Armenian Highland of this period. The book includes Assyrian (“Cappadocian”), Old Hittite, and Old Babylonian texts containing information about the countries and cities of the Armenian Highland. It should be noted that Old Assyrian (“Cappadocian”) cuneiform sources are unique in terms of covering the political and socio-economic life of that period. Sources that date back to the periods of the Old Babylonian and Hittite kingdoms are also of great historiographical importance. Most of these sources have not been introduced into the scientific circulation of Armenian studies. They provide an opportunity to get an idea of the political and economic situation of the western and southern parts of the Armenian Highland.
Determination of Sample Size Using Resource Equation Methods in Analysis of Variance Models in Animal Studies
Authors: Erdoğan Semra
Published: December 2023

The Resource Equation Method is a method developed as an alternative to power analysis for the calculation of sample size in animal studies. With this approach, the sample size is calculated based on the error degrees of freedom (DF) in the variance analysis model. In this study, one and two-factor variance analysis models, which are commonly used in animal studies, are discussed. The minimum and maximum sample size required for these models were calculating and presented in tables. While a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 21 animals in total are sufficient for two independent groups (Design 1), and the total number of animals goes up as the number of groups increases. In one factor, repeated-measures experiment design (Design 2), it was observed that the number of animals to be included in the study decreases significantly as the number of repetitions increases. For all factorial designs (Designs 3 and 4), 2 or 3 animals per subgroup were found to be sufficient. Repeat measure experimental designs can be chosen to increase the power of the study without increasing the number of animal/subjects. Statistical power was calculated for different numbers of groups in Design 1, based on their respective minimum and maximum samples sizes and Cohen's effect sizes, and for most cases, power was found to be much lower than 0.80. Statistical power exceeded 0.80 only in the case of very large effect sizes. Therefore, the researcher can test her hypotheses with larger effect sizes to reach 80% power with sample sizes in independent group comparisons. A determined effect size value for animal studies is not available in the literature. According to the results obtained in our study, the effect sizes for the 2 groups are 1.2, 1.5 and 2.0 for 3 or more groups 0.5; 0.7 and 0.9 can be recommended to take as small, medium and large effect sizes, respectively.

Authors: BİRSEN Burcu , TUŞ Ayşegül
Published: December 2023

Considering the high needs and expectations of today's customers, the efforts of businesses to provide and improve customer satisfaction are increasing. For this reason, businesses that make service differentiation are now working not only to satisfy their customers but also to gain their loyalty. This study aims to determine the customer loyalty rate with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method taking a bank branch as a sample. No such study has been found to determine the loyal customer rate in the banking sector. Beyond the fact that determining the loyalty rate provides some numerical indicators, the biggest benefit to businesses is that they have information about the extent to which they realize their goals, customer expectations, and needs. Thus, they can establish standards and priorities for the goods or services they produce or will produce and apply different strategies by changing them when necessary. In addition, businesses that access loyal customer information have the opportunity to communicate and maintain relationships with their most valuable assets, their loyal customers, while exploring opportunities to gain their non-loyal customers.
Representasi Makna Perpisahan pada Lirik Lagu “Give Me Five” Karya JKT48: Analisis Semiotika Ferdinand de Saussure
Authors: Gunadi Dauhah Fitriyani
Published: December 2023

This article contains the representation of the meaning of separation in the lyrics of the song "Give Me Five" by JKT48 (Fer-dinand de Saussure's semiotic study). The semiotic method that will be used in this research is semiotics from Saussure's thought. Saussure's theory explains that signs have interconnected elements, namely signifier and signified. This process connects the song lyrics with the real external world. The results of this research from the lyrics of the song "Give Me Five" by JKT48 have interrelated meanings containing the message that separation is not the end of everything. The meaning of separation contained in the lyrics of the song "Give Me Five" by JKT48 is very strong, because a person cannot avoid the word goodbye, besides that there is motivation to achieve another dream when the separation occurs. The data analysis technique used is analysis using Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic theory. Saussure's theoretical model focuses more direct attention on the sign itself. In this research on the lyrics of the song "Give Me Five", the researcher makes an interpretation by dividing the entire song lyrics into several stanzas and then the stanzas will be analyzed using Saussure's semiotic theory.

Published: December 2023

El objetivo de esta investigación fue establecer la relación entre la habilidad física percibida y los motivos de participación en nadadores de competencia del departamento de Boyacá, Colombia. Para ello, se utilizó como instrumentos de medición los cuestionarios de Motivos de Participación Deportiva y la Escala de Habilidad Física Percibida, con los cuales se recopiló la percepción de 108 deportistas (57 mujeres y 51 hombres). Dada la naturaleza multivariada del estudio, en este caso se hizo uso de los modelos de ecuaciones estructurales mediante mínimos cuadrados parciales para explorar y explicar las interrelaciones entre las variables. Se encontró que la habilidad física percibida incide en los aspectos de motivación, tales como competencia, salud, forma física y la influencia de otros actores. En la medida en que el nadador tienda a valorar con mayor puntaje su habilidad física percibida específica en natación, aumenta su escala en algunos de los motivos de participación.
Palabras clave: motivos de participación, habilidad física percibida, modelos de ecuaciones estructurales por mínimos cuadrados parciales.

Estudos sobre a forma de ensino dos esportes para crianças e jovens apontam que o modelo tradicional, pautado na execução e repetição de movimentos normalmente com tarefas sem tomada de decisão ou com excesso do jogo formal, ainda é muito utilizado por treinadores. Considerando as críticas proferidas a essa perspectiva de abordagem nos esportes invasão, torna-se pertinente a produção de investigações que busquem auxiliar os treinadores a qualificarem o ensino dessas modalidades visando o desenvolvimento dos jovens. Nesse contexto, este estudo buscou verificar em que medida a participação numa pesquisa-ação sobre a utilização de tarefas para o ensino de esportes de invasão, possibilita que os treinadores aprimorem a proposição de atividades considerando o objetivo do treino centrado em intenções táticas. Metodologicamente, a partir de um estudo de natureza qualitativa, uma pesquisa-ação foi constituída por um grupo de estudos formado por cinco treinadores que trabalham com o ensino dos esportes de invasão e um pesquisador autor deste trabalho. Após a realização de oito encontros, os resultados indicam que ocorreu um refinamento na capacidade de proposição de tarefas para ensinar/treinar esportes de invasão. Especificamente, três treinadores que, antes do estudo, tinham dificuldades em selecionar tarefas que permitissem desenvolver intenções táticas, passaram a indicar atividades condizentes com o objetivo do treino.

En el voleibol la potencia en las extremidades inferiores es determinante para el rendimiento en acciones como el remate, el bloqueo y el saque en suspensión. Pero, además, para acciones que exigen de agilidad como es el caso de los Cambio de Dirección (CDD). El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar la asociación entre la potencia en el salto con sentadilla (SJ), el contramovimiento (CMJ) y la diferencia del SJ-CMJ (SJ-CMJdif) y los CDD en jugadores universitarios de voleibol. En el estudio de diseño transversal, con alcance correlacional, 12 jugadores realizaron las pruebas SJ, CMJ y dos CDD (T-Test, 5-0-5 Test). La potencia del SJ o el CMJ medida en Watios no correlacionó con los CDD. Sin embargo, la altura del SJ (r= - 0.58, p=.04) y CMJ (r= - 0.69, p=.01) tuvieron una correlación negativa y grande con el T-Test, mas no con el 5-0-5 Test. De la misma forma la SJ-CMJdif tuvó una correlación negativa y grande con el T-Test (r= - 0.61, p=.03), pero no con el 5-0-5. Los resultados sustentan la utilidad del SJ y el CMJ para el control de la potencia en los miembros inferiores, destacan la especificidad del T-Test para la evaluación de los CDD en el Voleibol y el aprovechamiento del potencial elástico necesario en las acciones de aceleración y desaceleraciones, evaluado mediante la SJ-CMJdif.

Abstract. In volleyball, the power in the lower extremities is decisive for performance in actions such as spikes, blocks and jump serve. But, in addition, for actions that require agility, such as Change of Direction (COD). The objective of this study was to examine the association between Squat Jump (SJ) power, countermovement (CMJ) power, and SJ-CMJ difference (SJ-CMJdif) and COD in college volleyball players. In the cross-sectional study, with a correlational scope, 12 players executed the SJ, CMJ and two COD tests (T-Test, 5-0-5 Test). The power (Watts) of the SJ or the CMJ did not correlate with the COD. However, SJ height (r= - 0.58, p=.04) and CMJ height (r= - 0.69, p=.01) had a negative and large correlation with the T-Test, but not with the 5-0-5 Test. In the same way, the SJ-CMJdif had a negative and large correlation with the T-Test (r= - 0.61, p=.03), but not with the 5-0-5. The results support the usefulness of the SJ and the CMJ for the control of power in the lower limbs, highlight the specificity of the T-Test for the evaluation of the COD in Volleyball and the utility of the elastic potential in the actions of acceleration and decelerations, evaluated using the SJ-CMJdif.

La relación entre el deporte y el crecimiento económico se refiere a los efectos que la actividad deportiva tiene en la economía, y va más allá de la participación de atletas y otros actores. El deporte tiene un impacto significativo en la economía a través de diversas vías. El objetivo de esta investigación es demostrar la incidencia que el deporte tiene en el crecimiento económico, principalmente en Colombia. La metodología se basa en el análisis bibliométrico y de variables económicas generadas por la industria deportiva tales como: generación de empleo, inversión, industria del entretenimiento y medios de comunicación, salud y bienestar, marketing y promoción y estímulo económico local, educación deportiva. Como principales resultados se ha podido comprobar que esta relación positiva entre el deporte y el crecimiento económico se evidencia dado que este crea oportunidades de negocio y genera ingresos tanto para los organizadores como para las empresas que participan en la comercialización de estos productos, aunque no son aprovechados completamente. El análisis de datos revela un saldo de inversiones positivo en empresas del sector deportivo en Colombia, indicando confianza en el mercado; no obstante, la renta de inversiones negativa sugiere que las empresas no han alcanzado los ingresos esperados por los inversores extranjeros.
Palabras clave: deporte, crecimiento económico exógeno, crecimiento económico endógeno, inversión y educación.
Abstract. The relationship between sport and economic growth refers to the effects that sporting activity has on the economy and goes beyond the participation of athletes and other actors. Sport has a significant impact on the economy through various avenues. The objective of this research is to demonstrate the incidence that sport has on economic growth, mainly in Colombia. The methodology is based on bibliometric analysis and economic variables generated by the sports industry such as: employment generation, investment, entertainment industry and the media, health and well-being, marketing and promotion and local economic stimulus, sports education. As main results, it has been possible to verify that this positive relationship between sport and economic growth is evident since it creates business opportunities and generates income for both the organizers and the companies that participate in the commercialization of these products, although they are not fully exploited. Data analysis reveals a positive investment balance in companies in the sports sector in Colombia, indicating confidence in the market; however, negative investment income suggests that companies have not achieved the income expected by foreign investors.

Fitness equipment nowadays represent something common in human beings daily life routines. For this reason, the number of sector professionals and human resources are quantitatively and significantly increasing worldwide. This paper provides a comprehensive systematic review of the current status of scientific research on field workers in relation to the usage of fitness products and resources. The performed thematic synthesis allowed to define and sort contents into three pyramidal categories and selected keywords offered about 49 articles that have been extensively analysed: (1) owners / directors; (2) personal trainers; and (3) instructors. Discussions of each category and all the existing relationships with fitness equipment are advanced and defined. Health and sport workers must recognise the relevant contribution of these stakeholders’ characteristics in the way to maximise the role of fitness equipment in promoting leisure and healthy habits inside societies. In addition, practitioners and researchers could take advantage in deepening knowledge and education on these kinds of resources. Due to the current importance of the sector, standardization and regulation of each fitness industry work category is ready to be strengthened also under these scientific to practice points of view.

Many studies on sports education have been conducted, some of which are published and disseminated through scientific journals. Publication by scientific journals is a part of scientific communication. It demands a review of the existing research to understand the conceptual structure of certain studies, especially the time they intersect with one another, such as sports education. In the database, sport education articles are commonly categorized into the subject of Education & Educational Research and/or Sport Sciences. This study aimed to obtain an overview of the similarities and differences in the conceptual structure of sport education studies included in the subject of Education & Educational Research and Sport Sciences. It employed a database from the Web of Science using the bibliometric method. Bibliometric analysis was performed with Bibliometric Package, a Built-in R tool. One of our key findings lies in the similarities and differences between the two. We also explored some implications in the discussion section. This paper completed the existing kinds of literature with additional insights for researchers and practitioners of sports education to consider and find future research directions. The results suggested similarities and differences in mapping between the two subjects, including timespans, percentages of annual growth rate, average ages, average citations per doc, references, keywords, and international collaboration.
