Participation and Youth Sport Coaching Good Practice - An Overview and Reflection of the Active Sussex Coach Support Officers Scheme
Authors: Crisp Philippe , Statham Anthony
Published: November 2022

In order to meet a wide variety of social policy objectives (such as health, educational attainment, community cohesion etc.), ensuring wide access to community and youth sport programmes remains an objective of many governments. In the UK, the post 2012 Olympic Legacy Strategy, overseen by Active Partnerships under the auspices of Sport England, promoted Sportivate and Satellite Clubs programmes (aimed at increasing participation levels) through most of the rest of the decade. In order to ensure minimum standards of operation and to develop the skills of the local coaching workforce, Active Sussex (one of the Active Partnerships) commenced a Coach Support Officer (CSO) scheme with the support of the University of Chichester from 2013 to (through various iterations) time of writing. Through a longitudinal reflection/summary of the various interventions and data collection points over the last nine years, we present an overview of this scheme. Further, we outline a clear philosophy, guidelines, and accompanying set of values that extol what can be considered good (best) practice for sustainable community sport and physical activity programmes.

Authors: Draganac Dragana , Jović Danica , Novak Ana
Published: November 2022

Background:Constant integration of digital technologies in economic and social life is rapidly and significantly shaping and changing our environment and ourselves. To function in such a world, even in daily routines, it is necessary to possess certain digital competencies.

Objectives:This paper aims to examine how university and high-school students of economic orientations from selected European countries self-assess their digital competencies, and to analyse the identified differences. This will enable further understanding of university and high-school students’ digital competencies that can serve as guidance for improving teaching practices and curricula.

Methods/Approach:A survey was conducted to collect data that were analysed using non-parametric statistic tests (Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test) and Spearman Rank-Order Correlation coefficient.

Results:University and high-school students consider to have below intermediate level of digital competencies. High-school students self-assessed digital competencies at a higher level than university students. University students of higher years of study self-assessed digital competencies at a higher level. There is no universal pattern among high-school students of different years of study. University students in the Accounting module and high-school students in the Tourism module assessed their digital competencies at the lowest level in several areas. There is a consistency in self-assessment of digital knowledge and digital skills. Conclusions: The identified below intermediate level of digital competencies and discovered discrepancies indicated the need for educational process improvements to provide university and high-school students with a higher degree of digital competencies. Programming is the most lagging behind in all the observed groups.
Hungarian Sociolinguistics in the Carpathian Basin, 1985–2022
Authors: Kontra Miklós
Published: November 2022

Until about 1985, apart from traditional dialectological research, the study of Hungarian in Hungary focused mostly on the Codified Standard Hungarian variety, whose speakers are powerful in social but not in numerical terms. Sociolinguistic research since 1985 has now resulted in a program which embraces not only the 10 million (largely monolingual) Hungarians in Hungary proper, but also the 3 million bi- or multilingual minority Hungarians in the seven neighboring countries (kin-states). This program was initiated by researchers of the Department of Sociolinguistics in the Linguistics Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. This paper offers linguists who do not read Hungarian an overview of this research carried out between 1985 and 2022.
A Coordination Control between Battery and Supercapacitor Energy Storage Systems to Segregate Power for On-Grid Application
Authors: Sangiri Jeemut Bahan , Bhowmick Supratik , Maiti Suman , Chakraborty Chandan
Published: November 2022

The present work describes a control methodology for a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) to improve its transient performance under dynamic load conditions. The proposed coordination control enhanced life cycle performance by segregating the power between battery energy storage systems (BESS) and a supercapacitor (SC). The BESS and SC are connected parallel to each other, and two individual DC–DC bidirectional converters connect them to a common DC bus. The coordination control is established between the controllers of BESS and the SC of HESS, which helps to utilise the usable energy capacity of the HESS. The charging/discharging current of the BESS is controlled within the allowable safety range based on the slope and magnitude of the BESS current. The high-frequency power component is handled by the SC, which helps to reduce the extra exhaustion on the BESS during operation with a higher current. The proposed coordination control of HESS is validated through simulation and the results show the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Published: November 2022

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) effectively reduce risk of sudden cardiac death in both primary and secondary prevention, but only a small proportion of patients included in the clinical trials had atrial fibrillation. It is still unclear whether patients with atrial fibrillation have the same benefit from ICD implantation as patients in sinus rhythm. This is a clinical, prospective study which included 210 patients in the period 2014–2018. ICD was implanted in the Clinical Center Kragujevac and a two-year follow-up was performed. Patients were divided into 2 groups: a group in sinus rhythm and a group of patients with atrial fibrillation (paroxysmal, persistent and permanent). At the end of the two-year follow-up, there was no difference in survival between the compared groups. The total number of cardioverter defibrillator activations did not differ between the groups, but a significantly higher number of inappropriate cardioverter defibrillator activations was registered in the group with atrial fibrillation. In most patients who had inappropriate defibrillator activation during the two-year follow-up, appropriate defibrillator activation was also registered.

The implementation of PGSD student graduates is expected to be able to provide experience in various fields of study, art learning is no exception. In art learning in elementary school teachers are not only able to provide an experience of appreciation but also an experience of expression, where students can sing songs accompanied by music or play musical instruments together. However, based on observations, PGSD students, especially at Gorontalo State University, still lack musical knowledge and skills. This is the basis for implementing PKM. The purpose of the PKM is to provide experience and hone the abilities of UNG PGSD students to accompany songs. The implementation method used is the first coordination of implementation time, technical implementation, implementation of activities, and evaluation. The results of this activity are increasing the insight and knowledge of UNG PGSD students regarding scales and chords, and this activity hones students' abilities in singing songs using keyboard instruments. This activity is also expected to stimulate students and lecturers to always deepen their musical skills so they can develop learning materials
India’s Policies in Support of the New Space
Authors: Danilin I. V. , Shavlay E. P.
Published: November 2022

Just like in the Cold War, space has re-emerged as an arena of international rivalry. However, this time, the space industry sees new actors partaking in the race to the top, as the competition is not just between states; commercial players are increasingly taking the field. The latter is not limited to established large companies but includes small and medium-sized innovative enterprises, forming the so-called New Space. Among the countries facing such a multifaceted challenge is India, whose space industry is pursuing a catch-up strategy in many respects and has only recently stepped up the growth of the commercial space segment.

Considering the key importance of the public support for this segment, the article discusses the main trends, factors, and specifics of the Indian New Space policy. We use comparative analysis to assess the current state and prospects of the industry and its possible implications for the Indian global positions.The study shows that New Delhi aims to embrace new realities amidst ambitious economic targets, social challenges, and growing geopolitical tensions with China, with the pandemic acting as a catalyst. Thanks to innovative measures, India has already become one of the central space players, but it still falls short of leadership in the New Space due to its resourceconstrained and state-centered course. Nevertheless, although its New Space is still at its infant stage, the future looks promising. However, the success of the Indian astropreneurs will also depend on the rise of efficiency of the national policies – a process likely to happen due to internal and global challenges.
Coordinative Discourse of Strategic Sovereignty Tilting the European Union’s Institutional Balance
Authors: Romanova T. A. , Mazanik S. V.
Published: November 2022

The article studies how a discursive contestation among the EU institutions (the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council of the European Union) of the concept of "strategic sovereignty" ("strategic autonomy") affects the institutional balance among them. Institutional balance is a dynamic process in which institutions challenge each other's authority. This process is conceptualized in the article in terms of discursive neo-institutionalism as a coordinative discourse, which forms, challenges and justifies the idea of “strategic sovereignty”. The article uses the cases of the EU industrial, trade policy, and the common security and defense policy to demonstrate the changing institutional balance.The results of the study show that the main institutional beneficiary of "strategic sovereignty" is the European Commission. Most likely, there will be a strengthening of the Council, which reserves broad powers in crisis management and foreign policy. The position of the Parliament is ambivalent: although the growth of its institutional weight is possible, it will depend both on the Parliament’s own initiatives and on whether the European Commission will succeed at communitarizing new issues and spheres. The findings demonstrate that under crisis, the institutional balance of the EU will continue to tilt in favor of the supranational level of regulation.

One of approaches to biologization of agriculture in Karelia is a widespread use of perennial grasses, which are a source of fodder and perform important ecological functions. We compared yield and protein productivity (tons/hectare) of one- and three-species grass stands including foxtail clover Trifolium rubens, eastern galega Galega orientalis, alfalfa Medicago varia Mart, smooth bromegrass Bromus inermis, and timothy Phleum pratense grown without mineral fertilizers or with N45P60K90 using the two-cut mode of mowing the green mass. Clover (dry weight up to 8.6, crude protein 1.51), as well as alfalfa + clover + timothy (9.4 and 1.32, respectively) featured the highest productivity. The annual spring application of mineral fertilizers caused but an insignificant increase in the yield of clover biomass, which suggests that there is no need for their application. For the biologization of a northern agriculture, it is recommended to cultivate (for two to three years) a pure grass stand of red clover, as well as a three-species stand including clover, alfalfa and timothy (six to seven years). In а pasture, legume-cereal perennial grass stands accumulate in the soil up to 9.0 ton/hectare of mowing root residues, total nitrogen content being up to 113.0 kg/ha over a five-year period, thus contributing to a slight increase in humus content and a decrease in soil acidity.

Sown grasses stand height was monitored in an agricultural landscape in 2019–2021. The agroecological test plot was located within a terminal moraine hill. The aim of monitoring was to study the influence of the characteristic features of various landscape structures (differentially exposed slopes, landscape sections within them, and soil cover variegation) on plant height. The studies were carried out across an agroecological transect (a field crossing the main landscape positions of a moraine hill) at 120 sample points located 10 m apart. The height of red clover and timothy grass was determined nine times during the development of the perennial herbage over 1 to 3 years of its life. The statistical treatment of data revealed that the maximum effect on the spatial variability of plant height is produced by slope exposure. A significant influence of landscape factors has been proved only for the temporal dynamics of timothy grass height, whereas the features of clover growth do not depend on relief and soils parameters. Based on the results obtained, it is possible to develop a system of adaptive placement of grass stands in an agricultural landscape making it possible to manage the quantity and quality of fodder.

Knee Prosthesis Biomaterial Selection by Using MCDM Solver
Authors: Petković Dušan , Madić Miloš , Radenković Goran
Published: November 2022

Biomaterials are a special class of contemporary materials used to make prostheses, parts of organs or to replace entire organs. They are used to replace soft and hard tissues. Metal biomaterials are mostly used to replace hard bone tissues and joints. There is no ideal substitution for natural biological material, but each of the biomaterials has a number of advantages and disadvantages. The problem of choosing the most favorable biomaterial is a complex process of multi‐criteria decision‐making, which requires a lot of knowledge and experience. In order to help decision makers in solving this complex task, a decision support system named MCDM Solver is proposed. MCDM Solver is used in decision‐making process to rank the biomaterials with respect to several criteria. In this paper, MCDM Solver was used to select knee prosthesis material.
High strength low-alloy steels impact toughness assessment at different test temperatures
Authors: Bulatović Srđan , Aleksić Vujadin , Milović Ljubica , Zečevićc Bojana
Published: November 2022

In many production processes, as well as in the exploitation of machine components and structures, materials are exposed to impact loads. In structures made of welded joints of high strength low-alloy steels with their constituents (parent metal, weld metal and heat-affected-zone), the toughness test determines the tendency of steel to brittle fracture, respectively the tendency to increase brittleness during exploitation.
The strain rate is high and the material manifests much more brittle behavior than is shown by tensile testing. Toughness as a mechanical property is an important factor that is defined as the energy that needs to be spent in order to achieve fracture. Parameters obtained by testing the properties of plasticity are the basis for the design of structures in order to achieve strengths under applied load.
The test results of high strength low-alloy steel toughness assessment at different test temperatures show that temperature significantly affects the impact toughness of steels and their alloys. At higher temperatures the impact energy on fracture is high (the material shows the properties of plasticity) while at lower temperatures the impact energy is small (the material is brittle).

The use of agricultural by-products and waste materials as fillers and additives to produce different mix designs with enhanced properties is one of the ways researchers are shifting focus to seek and develop materials that rely on renewable resources. The present research investigates the influence of Palm Kernel Shell Powder (PKSP) on the mechanical properties of inoculated Gray Cast Iron (GCI). Five specimens consisting of sample C0 (0.3%FeSi, 0%PKSP), Sample C3 (0.3%FeSi, 0.3%PKSP), sample C6 (0.3%FeSi, 0.6%PKSP), sample C9 (0.3%FeSi, 0.9%PKSP), and sample C12 (0.3%FeSi, 1.2%PKSP) were developed using sand mold casting method, the chemical analysis, and their mechanical properties (tensile, hardness, and microstructures) were evaluated. The chemical composition shows that the produced gray cast iron solidified within the hypereutectic cast iron range (Carbon Equivalent, CE > 4.5), while the microstructure reveals through the graphite flakes distribution that the produced gray cast iron consists of type A graphite. The highest tensile strength and hardness values were observed in sample C3 with tensile strength and hardness values of 155.97MPa and 156.74 BHN respectively. From the result obtained, an increase in both tensile and hardness values was observed up to 0.3% PKSP addition, beyond this amount, shows a decrease in both tensile strength and hardness values for the developed gray cast iron samples.
MODELLING PROCESS AS AN INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY IN LANGUAGE TEACHING PROCESS
Authors: Rexhepi Besjana
Published: November 2022

Modelling has to be considered as a new form of learning or as a facilitation of learning units from the students' side, but also for teachers too in the form of teaching units. From modelling, teachers demonstrate units or different teaching tasks to their students so they can understand them more easily. Modelling it is become like a bridge between students and teachers too, because from it all the lessons become more clear. Through modelling, students are actively involved in the learning process and interactive methods enable students to take initiatives. They combine initiatives, talk on behalf of the group in which they carry out their work, create new communication relationships with each other. And through modelling, the quality of classroom learning increases. Modelling  can be useful to provide pupils with a couple of â€˜pointerâ€™ questions in order to focus the discussion and to link the discussion to pupilsâ€™ prior knowledge. Writing down the main points to emerge from the discussion on the board or a flipchart help to focus pupils and also emphasize the fact that the discussion is a learning activity and not a just a way of filling time. Learning is always an active process. The learner actively constructs her/his learning from the various inputs s/he receives. This implies that the learner needs to be active to learn effectively. Learning is about helping pupils construct their own meaning, not about â€˜getting the right answerâ€™, as pupils can be trained to get the right answer without actually understanding the concept.
       Therefore part of this Seminarâ€™s paper are types of languageâ€™s teaching modelling, advantages and disadvantages of this strategy then some of examples described in the classroom education process. Towards that in this paper we tried to give some definitions given from foreign and native authors, who have talked about the modelling process into language teaching.

The involvement of the father in carrying out his role in good parenting will have a good influence on the social development of children, including a sense of empathy. Good parenting by fathers has an impact on cognitive, academic, psychological-emotional abilities and children's interactions in their social environment. Empathy itself is a feeling that a person has to share what others feel, understand the thoughts of others and want to help others who need it. This study uses a quantitative descriptive method, which takes a predetermined sample of 38 fathers who have children aged 4-6 years. This study uses several instruments in its measurement, namely: the role of fathers (X), Inventory of Father Involvement (IFI) and Empathy for early childhood (Y). In the ANOVA table there is an F count of 6.075 > from 0.05. In the normality test, it was found that the Asymp sign (2-tailed) stated that the standard residual of 0.102 in the test spread was normal. The calculation of the means table also shows that the behavior of empathy in early childhood has a linear calculation with the parenting role of the father. Until the correlation test also shows that there is a significant correlation, namely r = 0.019 > 0.05. From several data tests that have been carried out, all of them state that the parenting role of the father has an influence on the child's empathetic behavior.

The present experimental model aimed to investigate the possible effect of endometriosis on ovarian function by altering follicular maturation and development. This single-blind, randomized study included twenty-four female Sprague Dawley mice, 2.5 months old, weighing 160–200 grams. The animals were randomly separated into four groups on the day of the surgery. Each group consisted of 6 mice. The first group (A) consisted of healthy female mice (control group). The second group (B) consisted of mice subjected to surgical insertion of ovarian endometrioma. The third group (C) consisted of mice subjected to surgically induced diffuse intraperitoneal endometriosis, and the fourth group (D) consisted of mice subjected to surgically induced extraperitoneal endometriosis. According to our experimental model, endometriosis may affect ovarian function by increasing the number of luteinized unruptured follicles (follicles that have undergone luteinization without prior rupture).

The epidemiology of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections varies among populations depending on their demographic characteristics and exposure. This study describes the prevalence of HSV 1/2 IgG and IgM antibodies among individuals over a period of 5 years. A retrospective study was conducted to collect data on cases tested for HSV-1 and HSV-2 IgG and IgM antibodies for different medical conditions over five years between January 2014 and December 2018. 620 samples were tested for HSV 1/2 IgG and IgM during the study period. The total HSV seropositivity in the study population was 68% (422/620). The total seropositivity excluding children below 6 months of age was 65.3% (313/479). HSV-IgG seropositivity was significantly higher in married individuals (p<0.001, 95% CI 1.61–3.69). The HSV IgG seropositivity was significantly higher in children under the age of 6 months (N=109, 77.30%) than in children between 7 and 24 months old (27.6%) (Chi-square for linear trend, p<0.001), and it then tends to increase with age more than 24 months (Chi-square for linear trend, p=0.011). Eleven children showed laboratory evidence of recent HSV infection (6.2%) as indicated by HSV IgM antibodies and had diverse clinical conditions. HSV infection is highly prevalent in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Infection is most probably acquired during early childhood, and the tendency increases with age. However, a significant number of mothers are at risk of infection and transferring the infection to their fetuses.

The applicability of the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene Rs2736100 polymorphism in cancer research has been well documented for various malignancies except for head and neck cancers, where data is sparse. This study aimed to analyze this polymorphism with the pathological characterizers of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) patients. Genetic testing was performed using the Real-time PCR technique on 56 paired samples of biological material (blood and tissue). Data were analyzed using Epi info 7 software. The subjects were predominantly male (95% vs. 5%), with a median age of 62 years, and smokers (89%). The primary tumor origin site was the glottic region (34%), and the advanced clinical stages III-IV were more common (46% vs. 18%). Results show high frequencies for the mutated variants of Rs2736100 (CC 36%>AC 34%>AA 30%), while distribution according to tumor classification criteria leaned towards moderately differentiated carcinoma specimens in T3-T4 stages for the AC/CC variants (P-value without statistical significance) but positively favored the relationship between the AA variant and lack of lymph node metastasis (P=0.0106). The genotypes tend to associate themselves with a better histological presentation regarding the pattern of tumor invasion and, thus, better prognostic values for LSCC. Results suggest that the wild-type genotype of TERT Rs2736100 may be a protective factor for lymph node metastasis and histological pattern of tumor invasion in LSCC. Results regarding the synergistic relationship between cancer and smoking corroborate literature data for moderate to severe smokers regardless of the genetic variant.

Recently, a considerable amount of literature has been concerned with the impact of screen time on physical activity. Furthermore, recent evidence reveals that children under 14 spend an average of 23 hours each week looking at screens, including watching TV and DVDs, playing video games, or using a computer or mobile device. This study aimed to determine the relationship between technology use and physical activity. 277 parents completed an online questionnaire in this cross-sectional investigation. The questionnaire comprised 44 closed-ended questions divided into three sections: demographics, the impact of technology on children, and the Children's Physical Activity Questionnaire (CPAQ). 88 (31.8%) of children reported up to 5 hours of screen time per day, while 189 (68.2%) reported 6 hours or more. According to the CPAQ, 131 (47.3%) children had a low level of physical activity, 96 (34.7%) had a moderate level, and 50 (18.1%) had a high level. There was a strong relationship between parental age and child screen time, with 24.9% of children with screen time greater than 6 hours having parents aged 35–40 years, compared to 28.4% of children with screen time less than 5 hours having parents aged 25–30 years. Inadequate physical activity in children was linked to the number of siblings, ownership of electronic devices, and screen time. Physical activity should be increased through lifestyle changes that the entire family can implement.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the COVID-19 outbreak on emergencies and pain among orthodontic patients attending a teaching hospital. The study was conducted among orthodontic patients receiving active orthodontic treatment or in a retention period at the College of Dentistry, University of Baghdad, Iraq. Their participation was voluntary, and they filled out an Arabic-translated questionnaire. The survey included general information, orthodontic problems, and a numerical rating scale for pain assessment. We used descriptive and inferential statistics (frequencies and intersecting frequencies), chi-square test and linear regression. Out of 75 orthodontic patients, only 54 (15 males and 39 females) were included in the study. The most encountered orthodontic problem was broken or movable bracket (55.6%), followed by long pocking wire 35.2%. In addition, 55.6% of the participants preferred to wait for the next appointment to see their orthodontist, and only 5.6% tried to treat the problem personally. There was no significant relationship between pain level, gender and age, whereas a strong significant association was found between pain intensity and orthodontic problems or emergencies. COVID-19 had a negative impact on orthodontic follow-up visits. The intensity of pain was strongly correlated with orthodontic problems or emergencies. Therefore, more attention should be given to patients, focusing on teaching them how to manage orthodontic emergencies during situations such as an outbreak.
La visión sobre los nativos americanos durante la conquista en el primer certamen de poesía de la RAE (1778)

"Since its foundation in 1713, the Real Academia Española has set the main objective of caring for the language. With the intention of reaching this goal, in addition to the preparation of its main works, the Dictionary, Spelling and Grammar, the institution also convened various competitions during the 18th century to promote the proper use of Poetry and Eloquence and providing some ideas related to the mottos of the contests. The first Poetry competition (1778) had as its motto La destrucción de las naves de Cortés (Cortés’s ships destruction), one that allowed participants to recall the achievements of the Spanish expeditionary and also to spread the cliches used to refer to the the native Americans. A descriptive and critical analysis of the handwritten works that were submitted to the first Poetry contest of the Real Academia Española will show the perspective about the indigenous people and how this competition was also a response to the accusations of the Black Legend."
