EFEKTI TRANZICIJE NA JAVNE UNIVERZITETE I/ILI JAVNI UNIVERZITETI U VREMENU TRANZICIJE
Authors: Mai Nhat Chi
Published: May 2022

Devedesetih godina prošlog stoljeća Bosna i Hercegovina, kao i veliki broj drugih zemalja, krenula je u proces tranzicije društva, politike i ekonomije. Teorijski okvir za proces bio je neoliberalni koncept. Za razumijevanje procesa bitno je imati u vidu da je 80-ih i 90-ih godina najvećim dijelom prevladavao Vašingtonski konsenzus o razvojnoj politici, koji je odražavao pristup slobodnog tržišta ka razvoju koji su pratili Međunarodni monetarni fond, Svjetska banka kao i druge multilateralne i bilateralne razvojne organizacije i institucije. Vremenom je došlo do promjene pogleda na Vašingtonski konsenzus koja je oblikovana u formu Santiago konsenzusa. Ovaj konsenzus apostrofira tri stvari i to: prvo, da se razvoj mora temeljiti na tržištu, ali i da postoje veliki neuspjesi tržišta; drugo, vlade ne bi trebale biti po pravilu uključene u proizvodnju; i na kraju treće, vlada ima opću eklektičku ulogu u određenim oblastima. Za ovaj rad je bitno da je posebno apostrofirana važna uloga vlada u ljudskom kapitalu. S obzirom na to da je obrazovanje jedna od bitnih determinanti ljudskog kapitala, izvodi se zaključak o važnoj ulozi i odgovornosti vlada u obrazovanju i za obrazovanje na svim nivoima. U ovom prilogu, na ograničenom prostoru, a time i u osnovnom, prezentiraju se neki elementi bitni za proces tranzicije Bosne i Hercegovine ali i razumijevanje efekata procesa tranzicije na obrazovanje. Drugim riječima, fokus je na međuzavisnosti procesa tranzicije obrazovanja i to visokog obrazovanja i ukupne tranzicije. Proces tranzicije bitno determiniraju privatizacija, liberalizacija cijena i odnosa, internacionalizacija, mobilnost, deregulacija, uklanjanje barijera za direktne strane investicije. U radu se koriste informacije EBRD, UN, BTI projekta kao i informacije državne i entitetskih agencija za statistiku. Osnovni nalazi se temelje na analizi vremenskih serija, analizi vremenskih presjeka, panel analizi i komparativnoj analizi.

Authors: Yıldırım Nagihan
Published: May 2022

The aim of this study is to conduct a meta-analysis study to examine the effectiveness of the argumentation-based teaching method in terms of sample, subject, years and some variables (academic success, attitude, interest, etc.). Meta-analysis method was used in this study. In order to gather the studies included in meta-analysis, various sources were used in the study. Three type studies were brought together for the meta-analysis: journal articles, doctoral and master thesis. The Social Science Citatio Index (SSCI) journals, Turkish Academic Network and Information Center Social Science Database, national printed journals, Academic Search Complete, Education Research Complete and ERIC databases were searched for journal articles. The Council of Turkish Higher Education Thesis Center was scanned to get the dissertations/theses. While scanning these platforms, the key concepts of "argumentation", "argumentation-based science teaching", "argumentation-based science education", "discussion-oriented teaching method to science" were used. So, 47 studies were used in the meta-analysis. In the study, as a result of the meta-analysis on the argumentation-based teaching process at the national level, it was determined that there was no significant difference in terms of the level of classes in which the studies were conducted and the independent variables examined in the studies, but there was a significant difference between the subject areas in favor of the subject area of chemistry.
Comparative Analysis of Trade Competitiveness between Bangladesh and Vietnam: Lessons for Bangladesh
Authors: Mai Nhat Chi
Published: May 2022

Bangladesh and Vietnam have been the largest garments exporters to the world in recent decades after China. Therefore, competition between Bangladesh and Vietnam in the textile industry is getting intense day-by-day. Nonetheless, both the country shared some of the similar traits in policy reformation. Such as, both the nations became independent during the 1970s and reformed export-oriented policies during the 1980s. However, except for the apparel industry, Bangladesh had not gained any extraordinary success that can be comparable to Vietnam. Moreover, Vietnam’s trade competitiveness had always been better than Bangladesh in most of the period. The paper aims to identify the areas where Bangladesh is lagging behind Vietnam in terms of trade. In this regard, the various international index had been compared. From the comparisons, it has been linked with the trade scenario associated with both the nations. The findings are Vietnam’s policy has always been investing more in human capital, infrastructure and chances of export diversification. Additionally, Vietnam had been prosperous in attaining FDI inflows in different sectors of the economy. Hence, the country gained strong trade competitiveness through diversified export basket especially in electronics.
A single nucleotide variant on chromosome 16 residing within ZNF469 distinguishes patients with luminal A breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: May 2022

Molecular subtypes including the most common subtype luminal A drive patient outcomes in human breast cancer but the biological basis for this is not completely understood. We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to discover in an unbiased fashion the most distinguishing genetic and transcriptional features of tumors of each breast cancer molecular subtype. We identified a single nucleotide polymorphism, rs1105066, residing within ZNF469, as among the most significant genetic differences in the tumors of patients with luminal A breast cancer. In a separate cohort of patients with luminal A subtype breast cancer, we failed to observe differential expression of a ZNF469 transcript. Analysis of patient survival data revealed that ZNF469 primary tumor expression was correlated with overall survival in patients with basal-like and luminal B subtype breast cancer. Sequence variation in the ZNF469 gene may be important in understanding differences in genetic background that favor development of luminal A subtype human breast cancer.
Translation Ethics: An Investigation into Lady Welby’s Upward Translation from the Perspective of Meaning Triad
Authors: Gao Fan , Dechsubha Thawascha
Published: May 2022

This paper offers a comprehensive survey of translation ethics within the theoretical frame of Lady Welby’s meaning triad concerning the relationship between ethics and translation in the meaning process of sign activities. The paper mainly discusses such aspects as: (1) the relationship between meaning triad and translation ethics, (2) upward translation as a method to maximize ethical value and (3) enhancement of translation ethics as a goal of upward translation. The results of the paper can be found as the following: 1. the evolutionary process of meaning from sense to meaning and then to significance is the path for the improvement of translators’ cognitive ability and the sublimation of translator or interpreter’s ethics and morality. 2. Upward translation serves as a key to enhancing translators’ ethical consciousness.3. translation, meaning and ethics are correlated and interrelated mechanisms. Therefore, the implications of the dynamic and dialogic view of translation and meaning will provide an interdisciplinary theoretical vision for the construction of translation ethics.
Development of a digital game to refute COVID-19 misconceptions
Authors: Trevors Greg
Published: May 2022

Compounding the public health challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic is an infodemic of misinformation (WHO, 2020). Misconceptions are mitigated when a correct alternative is presented clearly and stored in long-term memory (Kendeou et al., 2014). However, recent findings show that some attempts to correct health related misinformation are ineffective or even backfire, paradoxically strengthening misconceptions (Nyhan, Reifler, Richey, & Freed, 2014). Solutions for successful revision of misconceptions must address several interlocking problems: (1) designing content to promote the specific cognitive processes required to revise misconceptions; (2) developing a new delivery method to present content that captures and maintains attention; (3) mitigating negative affect and biased reasoning. Thus, this project leveraged the unique strengths of psychological research on belief change and design principles of gamification to develop, evaluate, and widely distribute a new digital game to combat misconceptions regarding COVID-19. Gamification refers to the process of adding elements and mechanics of game play (e.g., challenges, competition, progress, feedback) into traditional educational contexts to take advantage of their motivational and affective strengths (Deterding et al., 2011; Sailer et al., 2017 ; Sardi et al., 2017). Research Questions:1. Do positive emotional reactions to gamified belief corrections positively predict public support for health policies?2. Do negative emotional reactions to gamified belief corrections negatively predict support for public health policies?

Molecular subtypes including the most common subtype luminal A drive patient outcomes in human breast cancer but the biological basis for this is not completely understood (1-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to discover in an unbiased fashion the most distinguishing genetic and transcriptional features of tumors of each breast cancer molecular subtype. We identified a single nucleotide polymorphism, rs12449164, residing within GALNS, as among the most significant genetic differences in the tumors of patients with luminal A breast cancer. In a separate cohort of patients with luminal A subtype breast cancer, we observed transcriptome-wide differential expression of a GALNS transcript. Analysis of patient survival data revealed that GALNS primary tumor expression was correlated with overall survival in patients with luminal A subtype breast cancer. Sequence variation in the GALNS gene may be important in understanding differences in genetic background that favor development of luminal A subtype human breast cancer.

Unpacking the process of overseas knowledge recontextualisation in returnee entrepreneurship - a learning perspective : a study of returnee entrepreneurs in Vietnam
Authors: Mai Nhat Chi
Published: May 2022

International entrepreneurship research has recently been directed towards returnee entrepreneurship, a phenomenon in which individuals who acquire knowledge in overseas developed markets return to start businesses in their home emerging markets. Returnee entrepreneurs serve as knowledge brokers in their home country. However, research has yet to explain how they transform their overseas knowledge, which is contextually bound, into entrepreneurial outcomes – a process termed overseas knowledge recontextualisation. The thesis positions itself at the intersection of returnee entrepreneurship, international knowledge transfer, and entrepreneurial learning, and explores the phenomenon from both a learning and a socio-cognitive perspective. It approaches the recontextualisation process at an individual entrepreneurial level to answer three research questions: (1) What constitutes the knowledge brought back by returnee entrepreneurs?; (2) What is the process by which returnee entrepreneurs recontextualise their overseas knowledge?; and (3) How do returnee entrepreneurs learn to facilitate the process of overseas knowledge recontexualisation? A qualitative exploratory approach was employed comprising 14 in-depth cases of returnee entrepreneurs in three cities in Vietnam - an emerging economy in South East Asia where returnee entrepreneurship has become increasingly prevalent. To ensure the rigour and validity of the research, multiple data sources were used for triangulation. Given the dynamics of the recontextualisation process and the aim to build a data driven theory, the analysis was underpinned by process thinking and grounded theory principles. The thesis contributes to three distinctive strands of literature. First, it extends the returnee entrepreneurship literature by unpacking the holistic process model of knowledge recontextualisation which involves sensemaking, experimenting, and integrating knowledge, each of which is facilitated by the respective learning mechanisms and intertwined with entrepreneurial outcomes. Second, it adds new understanding at an individual entrepreneurial level to international knowledge transfer literature by highlighting the idiosyncratic role of returnees as simultaneous transferors and receivers of knowledge. Specifically, it elucidates mixed-embedded knowledge structures of returnees and identifies key recontextualisation practices pertaining to returnee entrepreneurship. Third, it adds on entrepreneurial learning literature by unpacking the complex learning mechanisms that facilitate the process of recontextualisation. Finally, it proposes that, throughout the recontextualisation process, returnees not only enact the overseas knowledge per se, they also transform themselves and influence the home country through cognitive, social, psychological and behavioural processes which denote the micro-foundations of the entrepreneurial dynamic capability displayed by returnees.
Linking Mean Level and Variability in Affect to Changes in Perceived Regard: A Dyadic Longitudinal Burst Study of African American Couples
Authors: Urganci Betul , Ong Anthony , Burrow Anthony L. , DeHart Tracy
Published: May 2022

High positive affect and low negative affect have been repeatedly tied to better individual and interpersonal well-being. However, research has focused on mean levels whereas the day-to-day unfolding of affect and its impact on romantic relationships remain largely understudied. Here, we examined the links between mean levels and variability in affect and changes in perceptions of partner regard —the extent to which people believe that their partners value and accept them. One hundred and twenty-five African American couples (N = 250 individuals) reported how positively they thought their partners viewed them across two sessions (T1 and T2), separated by a 3-week daily diary study in which participants reported on their positive and negative affect each day for 21 consecutive days. Using dyadic analysis, we found that higher actor negative affect variability was associated with lower perceived regard at T2 controlling for perceived regard at T1. This finding held when controlling for mean levels of actor and partner negative affect. By contrast, PA variability was curvilinearly associated with perceived regard, with moderate levels of variability associated with higher subsequent perceived regard. These results highlight the importance of accounting for mean levels and curvilinear effects when examining links between affect dynamics and relational well-being.
Autistic group differences in naturalistic social attention are magnified by perceptual load

Published: May 2022

Differences in both social and sensory processing are well described in the autism literature, but little is known about the causal relationship between these domains, particularly in real-world environments. In the present study, we sought to understand how a core characteristic of the autistic phenotype – reduced social attention – is impacted by the complex multisensory signals present in environments like those encountered in daily life. We tested the hypothesis that autistic group differences in social attention would be magnified by increasing perceptual load (e.g., motion, multisensory cues). Adult participants (N = 40; 19 ASC) explored a diverse set of 360° real-world scenes in a naturalistic, active viewing paradigm (immersive virtual reality + eyetracking). Across three conditions, we systematically varied perceptual load while holding the social and semantic information present in each scene constant. We demonstrate that group differences in social attention are not a static signature of the autistic phenotype; rather, they emerge with increasing perceptual load in naturalistic environments. Crucially, this pattern was specific to the social domain and not driven by low-level oculomotor differences: we did not observe differential impacts of perceptual load on attention directed toward nonsocial semantic (i.e., object, place) information or fixation behavior. This study provides a direct link between social and sensory processing in autism. Moreover, reduced social attention may be an inaccurate characterization of autism. Instead, our results suggest that social attention in autism is better explained by “social vulnerability", particularly to the perceptual load of real-world environments.

This study was carried out to examine heavy metals concentrations in the sediments of upstream, middle stream and downstream sections of Ogun-Osun River Basin, Oke-Odan, Ogun State, Nigeria. Sediment samples were analyzed for selected heavy metals) Cd, Cr, Pb, Zn, Mn, Cu, Ni, As & Fe) by atomic absorption spectrophotometry method. The results revealed heavy metals concentrations ranging from 2.07mg/kg2.98mg/kg for Cd, 2.12mg/kg-4.66mg/kg for Cr, 5.15mg/kg-17.18mg/kg for Pb, 5.55mg/kg-14.04mg/kg for Zn, 174.62mg/kg-218.83mg/kg for Mn, 0.28mg/kg-1.47mg/kg for Cu, 12.22mg/kg-15.58mg/kg for Ni, 1.15mg/kg2.32mg/kg for As and 4.53mg/kg-7.38mg/kg for Fe in the three locations. The results showed that the concentrations of Zn, Pb, Cu, Cr, Ni, and as in the sediments are low but may require monitoring to prevent increase. The concentration of Mn was higher than the stipulated limit (50.0mg/kg) set by USEPA and this may constitute risk to the people as well as aquatic animals using the water. However, the river sediments are less contaminated but may increase if the water is managed well to continue to enhance its quality.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare and chronic neurologic disease of neonates and older children. It commonly presents with progressive skeletal muscle weakness. Presentation with aspiration pneumonitis is uncommon and more so with recurrent aspiration pneumonitis. Diagnosis of recurrent aspiration secondary to MG can thus, be slow to make, especially at in a resource limited setting. A five year old boy presented with features suggestive of recurrent food aspiration and underlying Myasthenia gravis at the paediatric emergency unit of a Nigerian hospital. The case is reported in order document the occurrence of MG in our resource limited setting with the view to provide information that may aid the diagnostic acumen of physicians practicing in similar settings. The challenges associated with managing Myasthenis gravis in a resource limited setting are also discussed.

The productivity of Ethiopian sheep’s can be improved by improving management and selecting best animal for future mating. This study was conducted in Habru Woreda, North Wollo Amhara region, Ethiopia with the aim to identify breeding objectives and practices of sheep production in the study area. A total of 40 households were selected purposively based on high sheep population density and production potentials. The data was gathered using semi-structured interview, direct observation and discussion with key informants. The data was summarized and analyzed using Micro soft Excel computer program and presented using tables by using descriptive statistics like frequencies and percentages. The main reason of keeping sheep in the study area was for household income generation, meat, manure, culture, breeding and ceremony respectively. The majority of breeding rams for farmers originated from own flock. Mating was uncontrolled but in rare case there is controlled mating. Selection criteria for breeding rum in the study area were growth, coat color, tail type and selection criteria for breeding ewe were lamb growth, body size, lamb survival, coat color and multiple births, respectively. Maturity age for selection of breeding ewe was reported 6-8 month. Majority of sheep breeds were indigenous breeds (87.5%) followed by cross breed ones (12.5%). There are also poor cross-breeding activities at farmers’ level and uncontrolled natural mating within local breeds was predominantly practiced by households. Selecting appropriate ewe and ram for the purpose of improving breeding objectives as well as its practice is important. To minimize the failure of sheep breed improvement program it is important to consider breed management system and trait preferences of the community.

This research discribes an efficient protocol for the micropropagation of Anthurium andraeanum Linn. with the use of plant growth regulators namely; 2,4-D and BAP through indirect organogenesis of callus formation. Callus induction, callus proliferation, shoot initiation, shoot multiplication and root formation from regenerated shoots were investigated during this research. The multiple segments of youngest and newest leaf laminas and petioles from the adult plant were used as explants in current experiment. Both explant segments gave regenerated plantlets when they were exposed to plant hormones previously mentioned in basal MS full strength medium. The highest callus formation was found in MS medium supplemented with 6mg/L 2,4-D among other concentrations of 2,4-D such as 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 and 0.8 mg/L. For multiplication purpose, BAP 3mg/L was the best among other treatments (BAP 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 mg/L) in the same basal MS medium. Leaving well-developed shoots in the same medium without changing into the fresh medium caused rooting from these shoots. After about three months, the regenerated Anthurium plantlets were successfully transferred to clay pots containing the ratio of (3:2:1) coconut husks, broken bricks and charcoals.

Mango (Mangifera indica) is the main tropical fruit of Asia and has developed its prominence all over the world. Mango wastes such as peels and seeds generated from fruit are a good source of functional ingredients out of which important ones are phenolic compounds with potent antioxidant properties. The quantification of gallic acid (GA), protocatechuic acid (PCA) and mangiferin (MGF) in the seed and peel extracts of three different varieties of mango fruit was performed by a novel, simple, specific, linear, precise, accurate and economic RPHPLC (reversed-phase high- performance liquid chromatography) method. The chromatographic separation was achieved on the C18 analytical column with a flow rate of 1.2 mL/min in an isocratic mode using 0.2% orthophosphoric acid and acetonitrile in the ratio 90:10 as the mobile phase. The column temperature was maintained at 40 ℃ and observations were recorded at 242 nm. The retention time of gallic acid, protocatechuic acid and mangiferin was observed at 3.41, 5.50, and 14.6 min respectively. The developed method when validated as per ICH guidelines was found to be specific, linear, precise, robust and accurate

In Japan, labeling of packages of prescription drugs was changed from JAN (Japanese Article Number) codes to GS1 DataBars, and the use of GS1 DataBars in medical services is expected to aid in the prevention of medical accidents, such as drug mix-ups, and improve traceability. In Japan, prescription drugs are dispensed primarily using PTP (Press Through Package) and SP (Strip Package) sheets, and tablets and capsules are seldom given to patients in bottles as in the United States and EU countries. We carried out a questionnaire survey of hospital pharmacists who handle drugs as their job to investigate the viewpoints from which they evaluate the design of PTP sheets of drugs. When the position of the bar code was evaluated from the viewpoint of “readability”, there was little difference between the top and bottom of the PTP sheet, but there was a difference between the top (over the tablets) and the margin of the PTP sheet. To the question “Which is more functional, endless printing or pitch printing?”, the pitch method was selected twice as frequently. “Ergonomics of holding the drug with the left hand and holding the scanner with the right hand” were suggested to be important for rapid reading of GS1 DataBars with minimum movements during the complex dispensing operation.

Roses are the most important cut flowers in the world. Tissue culture of rose has been improved since last twenty years, and exploited for various purposes from basic anatomical and physiological research to micropropagation from auxiliary buds, shoot tips, leaf explants, etc. Single bud nodal stem segments were surface sterilized and then cultured on MS medium supplemented with 30 g/l sugar, 6 g/l agar and different concentrations of BAP(1, 2, 3, 4 and 5mg/l). Among them, the most suitable concentration for shoot initiation and multiplication was 3mg/l BAP. And it also found that the best for shoot elongation occurred in MS medium supplemented with BAP 3 mg/l and GA3 1mg/l. The proliferated microshoots were transferred to root inducing media of half strength MS medium supplemented with 15 g/l sugar, 5 g/l agar and NAA (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 mg/l).

Eczema which is now termed as a type of dermatitis is an age-old disease described and treated by unani and modern dermatologists since long. In medivial unani literature the term nar e farsi used for this disease which is Persian term means ‘fire of Persia’ it indicates the burning sypmptoms related to this disease. Unani tibb relates this disease to ‘safra’ i.e. yellow bile humor. The cause of the disease is not yet ascertained as some says irritation some relates this to atopy and contact allergies. Besides this curative treatment is still in obscure. Treatment is also not yet provided by Unani atibba (Unani Physicians) but they mention some principles to treat this chronic disease which make this less cumbersome and symptoms become largely abolished. Several types of drugs as musaffi-e-dam, muhallil e awram and soothing oils applied to treat the condition. Therapies are also used to alleviate the symptoms.

Background: Peptic ulcer diseases constitute a major disease that affects the Gastro Intestinal tract. Gastric ulcers are one among the types of Peptic ulcers in which the ulcers are manifested in the lining of gastric mucosa. Annadrava shoola can be correlated with gastric ulcer due to its similarity in symptomatology. Baladimandura is a drug of choice in the management of Amlapitta and Parinamashoola mentioned in Rasakamadhenu. Aims & Objectives: To evaluate the gastric ulcer preventive action of Baladimandura in pyloric ligated albino rats through the histopathology examination of stomach tissue. Methodology: 24 wistar strain albino rats were grouped into 4; all the rats were free access to food and water ad libitum along with standard and test drug to the respective groups for 8 days. On 9th day all the rats were kept for fasting and 10th day pyloric ligation performed followed by sacrificing the rats for taking the stomach tissue for histopathology examination. Results: By comparing the histopathology report of all the rats the test group showed no ulcer formation. However slight inflammation was observed in the test drug group. Discussion & Conclusion: Gastric ulcers are manifested when the gastric mucosal barrier fails to prevent the entry of excess HCL into the cells. Baladimandura acts as Amlapitta hara, Parinama shoola hara and as a powerful ulcer preventive drug due to its gastro protective action.

Published: May 2022

The author analyses the problem of suicide death among homeless people in Poland. Since there is little research concerning this particular problem in Poland, she focuses on the case of Grzegorz Laskowski, a homeless man who committed suicide in 2014. By analysing his blog entries, she tries to find the reasons which could have pushed him to the decision to commit suicide. This particular case is only a starting point for further considerations regarding possible risk factors in homelessness. Laskowski’s blog provides us with a unique insight into a homeless man’s perspective on suicide.

The traditional long-term preservative system of latex has an impact on environmental air pollution by ammonia and leads to the production of carcinogenic nitrosamine substances by tetramethyl thiuram disulfide (TMTD). In this research, ammonia and a novel preservative with a polysulfidic link were compounded and tested as a novel traditional long-term latex preservative system, to overcome the drawbacks of traditional preservative systems. Control samples were prepared with ammonia as the standard preservative. In addition, ammonia and the novel chemical mixed samples were also prepared for investigating the combined effect. After the preservation treatment, the stable nature of field NR latex was evaluated via the Volatile Fatty Acid (VFA) test based on ASTM D 1076 standard. The Dry Rubber Content (DRC) test and Total Solid Content (TSC) test were carried out for VFA calculation purposes based on ISO126:2005 and ASTM D 1076 standards, respectively. The alkalinity test was carried out to maintain the required ammonia content in latex. In the first trial, traditional dispersion preparation of novel chemical dispersion failed due to the large particle size of the novel chemical. Therefore, two different novel chemical dispersions were prepared in the second trial, where dispersions 1 and 2 were prepared with wetting agents and without using a wetting agent, respectively. It was found that 0.020%v/v and 0.025% v/v concentrations of the novel chemical from dispersion 1 allowed the preservation of field NR latex for 8 days. A low concentration (0.015% v/v) of the novel chemical was able to keep latex with good stability for 5 days. The novel chemical dispersion without a wetting agent exhibited a marvelous preservative system to NR latex than with a wetting agent, because the wetting agent creates a barrier between particles of novel chemical and latex particles. The novel preservative acts as a good preservative while reducing the fumes of ammonia being emitted and eliminating the carcinogenic nitrosamine emission from TMTD.

In modern sports conditions, it is especially important to identify the most talented, promising athletes, and record achievements are typical for athletes who have the most optimal performance inherent in this sport.

Thus, it is determined that on the one hand, students-swimmers, differing in their morphological, functional, psychological characteristics, differently adapt to different conditions of activity, and on the other - purposeful activity affects the selection of the most talented athletes and their formation specific morphofunctional status.

Growth of sports achievements in most sports, including swimming, requires further study of individual capabilities athletes. In modern conditions of sport of the highest achievements, special significance acquires the identification of the most talented, promising athletes, as record achievements are typical for athletes with the most optimal indicators characteristic of this sport.

The study of the problems of sports selection has led to the identification of a number genetically determined morphofunctional indicators, allowing to determine the prospects with a greater degree of probability athletes in swimming at a certain stage of long-term training. Rapid growth of sports results in the Olympic water Cyclical sports show that they become the most champions talented athletes, adapted to high loads, both in volume and in intensity, in good health.
