Circo: risco, performatividade e resistência
Authors: Mandell Carolina Hamanaka
Published: July 2016

Este artigo busca o levantamento de questões sobre a performatividade na linguagem do circo. Cultura periférica que resiste aos avanços das mídias e tecnologias, o circo parece ocupar um lugar privilegiado na discussão sobre o tema da performatividade, embora reconheçamos que há um deslocamento temático que geralmente aparta o dois termos. Buscamos aqui pelas possíveis relações entre performatividade, resistência, nomadismo e risco nas artes circenses.
Memória e ancestralidade: lastros que ecoam e escoam na contemporaneidade
Authors: Vaneau Célia Regina Gouvêa
Published: July 2016

O presente artigo propõe uma reflexão quanto à transformação de parâmetros, quando o predomínio do procedimento conceitual cede à emergência da memória, ou aquilo que está inscrito no corpo; questiona a existência de núcleos culturais preservados e evita a dualidade entre central e periférico. A partir de eventos observados em certas regiões do Brasil, encontra a fértil via da ancestralidade, presente em instâncias várias da produção artística. Os argumentos são sustentados, entre outros, pelo pensamento dos encenadores Jerzy Grotowski e Peter Brook, dos teóricos Henri Bergson e Walter Benjamin e do neurocientista Antonio Damasio.
Primeiro relato de Lernaea cyprinacea (Copepoda: Lernaeidae) em girinos e rãs recém-metamorfoseadas em populações selvagens de Lithobates catesbeianus (Anura: Ranidae) na Argentina

Published: July 2016

Lernaea cyprinacea é um copépode ectoparasita que pode causar a morte do hospedeiro devido às hemorragias, ulcerações e infecções secundárias que provoca. Lernaea cyprinacea está amplamente distribuída na Argentina. Os relatos anteriores estão restritos quase que exclusivamente a casos de parasitismo em peixes; o parasitismo de larvas de anuros por copépodes tem sido raramente documentado. Este é o primeiro registro e descrição da infestação parasitária de L. cyprinacaea em girinos da espécie exótica e invasora Lithobates catesbeianus na Argentina. Um total de 15 girinos e 21 indivíduos recém-metamorfoseados de L. catesbeianus foi coletado na região serrana do Rio de los Sauces, e 12 girinos, no córrego Toledo. Foi encontrado um máximo de dois parasitas por hospedeiro, principalmente na cloaca. Foram observados sintomas clínicos de hemorragia, inflamação e úlceras na pele, com formação de muco na área de fixação dos parasitas.
Revised distribution, phenotypic variation and conservation status of Liolaemus fittkaui (Squamata: Liolaemidae), a lizard endemic to the Andes of Central Bolivia
Authors: Jiménez-Robles Octavio , Butron-Galvez Pablo , Carpio René , De la Riva Ignacio
Published: July 2016

O lagarto raro e endêmico da Bolívia Liolaemus fittkaui foi considerado extinto na localidade dos parátipos. Atualmente a espécie está classificada como Vulnerável. Discutimos a credibilidade da suposta localidade dos paratipos, assim como o evento de extinção relatado. As observações apresentadas evidenciam que a distribuição de L. fittkaui é mais ampla do que havia sido relatada, estendendo-se quase 100 km ao longo das regiões altas da Cordilheira de Tiraque (Províncias de Chapare, Tiraque e Carrasco). A espécie mantém populações em áreas em que seu habitat está bem-preservado, algumas delas encontradas dentro dos limites do Parque Nacional Carrasco. Essa nova informação seguindo os critérios da IUCN, indica que a categoria Vulnerável é adequada para o estado de conservação de L. fittkaui. Outros registros da província Arque pertencem a Liolaemus variegatus e a uma espécie da série de L. montanus. Descrevemos a variação do padrão de coloração ventral dos machos; diferentemente do ventre esbranquiçado originalmente descrito, os machos parecem ser polimórficos, apresentando coloração branca, amarela, vermelha e combinações intermediárias. A distribuição de L. fittkaui e de suas formas de coloração ventral reflete uma distribuição espacialmente fragmentada na qual a evolução intraespecífica poderia resultar em uma estrutura genética marcada. A persistência de L. fittkaui e de outros endemismos confinados às regiões altas andinas parece depender da preservação dos campos da puna, um ecossistema geralmente sub-representado nos esforços de conservação.

Critical analysis of the biotechnological reproduction of biological life increasingly emphasises the role of value-producing labour in biotechnologically reproductive processes, while also arguing that Marx’s use of the terms ‘labour’ and ‘value’ is inadequate to the critical scrutiny of these processes. Focusing especially on the reformulation of the value-labour relation in recent work in this area by Melinda Cooper and Catherine Waldby, this paper both critiques this reformulation and questions the explanatory efficacy of the category ‘labour’ in this context. Emphasising the contemporary global expansion of capital relative to value-producing labour – specifically, the expansion of fictitious capital and debt on the one hand, and of global surplus populations on the other – it argues that this reformulation misrepresents the mediated capacities of capital as the immediate capacities of labour. This reformulation, moreover, is indicative of broader tendencies in the contemporary theorisation of labour, tendencies exemplified by autonomist Marxism.
Salvaging the European Carbon Market
Authors: de Sadeleer Nicolas
Published: July 2016

Thanks to the ets, the largest carbon market in the world has been created. Whilst pursuing ambitious objectives, this market has been subject to a considerable number of imperfections. The success of the ets is dependent upon a progressive reduction of the individual emissions allocated by the Member State to the various installations, which implies first and foremost a sparing allocation of allowances with the aim of encouraging undertakings to invest in less polluting technologies. However, since the outset, the carbon market has suffered from an over-abundance of allowances granted by the Member States. Due to the unsatisfactory nature of the temporary freeze of allowances, the eu lawmaker sought to re-establish an incentive price signal by adopting decision (eu) 2015/1814 of 6 October 2015, which created the msr that will become operational in 2019.
Good Ecological Potential – A Credible Objective for Water Management?
Authors: Josefsson Henrik
Published: July 2016

It is notable that of the environmental objectives of the Water Framework Directive (wfd), good ecological potential has been given less attention. The Weser case has made it possible to establish a more detailed understanding of ‘ecological potential’. An analysis indicates that the main approach to implementing ‘ecological potential’, the non-wfd mitigation-measure approach, creates discontinuity among the environmental objectives, which the wfd reference method does not. Even if the mitigation-measure approach accommodates enhancements, bodies of water are still not classified in accordance with the wfd. If a body of water is incorrectly classified, both good ecological potential and the non-deterioration prohibition should not be binding, as the ‘ecological status’ has not been determined. Furthermore, two different and uncoordinated forms of ‘ecological potential’ establish diverging quality standards, and risk legal uncertainty and inconstancy among Member States.
Pleurotus placentodes, originally described from Sikkim, rediscovered after 164 years
Authors: LIU XIAO-BIN , LI JING , HORAK EGON , YANG ZHU L.
Published: July 2016

Although many species of Pleurotus are commonly known to be important edible mushrooms, the species delimitation of the genus is often controversial due to phenotypic plasticity and morphological stasis. In the present paper, Pleurotus placentodes, a conspicuous species originally described from Sikkim by M.J. Berkeley in 1852 and so far known only from the type collection, is documented based on specimens recently gathered in the eastern Himalayas and Hengduan Mountains, southwestern China. The morphological and molecular phylogenetic data indicate that this species is an independent taxon, and accordingly the previously proposed synonym of Pleurotus djamor is rejected. Pleurotus placentodes differs from the majority of other related species assigned to Pleurotus by the ellipsoid to subovoid basidiospores with a lower ratio of length/width and the geographical distribution in the subalpine habitat of the Himalayan Mountains.
Taxonomy and morphology of species of the genus Squalus Linnaeus, 1758 from the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (Chondrichthyes: Squaliformes: Squalidae)
Authors: VIANA SARAH T. DE F. , CARVALHO MARCELO R. DE , GOMES ULISSES L.
Published: July 2016

Squalus is a genus of reportedly cosmopolitan shark species that have a high taxonomic complexity due to difficulties in their morphological differentiation; many of its species need revision. Currently, there are 26 valid species of Squalus, which have been divided into three species-groups according to overall morphological similarity, the S. acanthias, S. megalops, and S. mitsukurii groups. Loss of type specimens, propagation of erroneous identifications in the literature, and difficulties in obtaining representative series for comparison are secondary challenges that have impeded a global taxonomic revision of the genus. This problem applies clearly to species from the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean, including species that occur off Brazil. Following a current global tendency, a regional taxonomic revision of Squalus was conducted in order to investigate which species are valid in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean and provide diagnostic morphological characters that can be efficiently used for identifying species. Comparative detailed analysis of external (e.g. morphometrics, dentition, and color pattern) and skeletal morphology (primarily meristic data, neurocrania and claspers) of specimens of Squalus from the region revealed four new species that are herein described (S. albicaudus sp. nov., S. bahiensis sp. nov., S. lobularis sp. nov., and S. quasimodo sp. nov.), as well as S. acanthias, which is redescribed from the region based on new material. Comparisons are offered based on examinations of congeneric species; this work is part of a global systematic revision of Squalus.
The role of a national fostering helpline in the recruitment and retention of foster carers: implications for policy and fostering practice
Authors: Blackburn Carolyn
Published: July 2016

There is a shortfall of foster carers currently in England as the number of children in care is rising faster than the number of foster carers. Supporting foster carers in their role of providing safe nurturing environments for children in the looked after system is crucial in ensuring their recruitment and retention. This article reports on an evaluation of a national fostering helpline, Fosterline England, which provides independent, impartial advice to carers on a range of concerns. Findings suggest that the provision of a helpline service can influence foster carers’ motivation to enter or stay in fostering. However, it is only one factor that can make a difference. Improvements to working practices in fostering are needed, including more effective communication with and between professionals.
Attending to foster parent grief: exploring the use of grief awareness training for child welfare workers
Authors: Hebert Corie G , Kulkin Heidi
Published: July 2016

Foster parents often feel irresolvable grief when a child they have loved and nurtured is removed from their home. Their grief response is frequently unrecognised and misunderstood, and can lead to problems regarding the retention of the carers on which the system relies. This article examines the challenge of retaining foster parents and describes the development of a grief awareness training programme for foster care and adoption workers as an effort to improve recruitment and retention. A one-group pre-test/post-test design was used to examine the difference in knowledge enhancement and understanding about foster parent grief after the training was administered to a sample of foster care and adoption workers.
In silico proposition to predict cluster of B- and T-cell epitopes for the usefulness of vaccine design from invasive, virulent and membrane associated proteins of C. jejuni

Published: July 2016

Purpose

Campylobacter jejuni is the one of the leading causes of bacterial diarrheal illness worldwide. This study aims to design specific epitopes for the utility of designing peptide vaccine(s) against C. jejuni by targeting invasive, virulent and membrane associated proteins like FlaA, Cia, CadF, PEB1, PEB3 and MOMP.

Methods

In the present study, various immunoinformatics approaches have been applied to design a potential epitope based vaccine against C. jejuni. The tools include Bepipred, ABCpred, Immune Epitope databse (IEDB) resource portal, Autodock vina etc.

Results

Peptides “EINKN”, “TGSRLN”, “KSNPDI”, “LDENGCE” respectively from FlaA, MOMP, PEB3, CadF proteins were found to be the most potential B cell epitopes while peptides “FRINTNVAA”, “NYFEGNLDM”, “YKYSPKLNF”, “YQDAIGLLV”, “FRNNIVAFV” and “LIMPVFHEL” respectively from Fla, CadF, MOMP, PEB1A, PEB3 and Cia might elicit cell mediated immunity and “IFYTTGSRL” from MOMP protein might elicit both humoral and cell-mediated immunity. All these potential peptidic epitopes showed almost 80–100 % conservancy in different strains of C jejuni with varying proportions of population coverage ranging from 22–60 %. Further authentication of these peptide epitopes as probable vaccine candidate was mediated by their binding to specific HLA alleles using in silico docking technique.

Conclusion

Based on the present study, it could be concluded that these predicted epitopes might be used to design a vaccine against C. jejuni bacteria and thus, could be validated in model hosts to verify their efficacy as vaccine.
The effect of technology-exploration on product innovation: an analysis based on Korean manufacturing SMEs
Authors: Lee Hojin , Cha Sangyoon , Park Heejun
Published: July 2016

Today, fierce competition drives firms in their continual efforts to introduce products with a higher degree of novelty into the market. There is a growing need to understand important activities so as to achieve product innovation. This empirical study demonstrates the effect of technology-exploration, including outsourcing R&D, external networking, customer involvement, and inward IP licensing, on product innovation, especially considering the degree of the novelty of the manufactured products. Using data from a sample of small and medium Korean manufacturing firms, our results show that technology-exploration are crucial determining factors as to whether low or higher degree of novelty is achieved in product innovation. The positive impact of higher degree of innovation novelty comes from customer involvement and outsourcing R&D. In addition, customer involvement has positive impact only on low degree of innovation. Other practices have no impact on either low or high degree of novelty in product innovation.

The Uncanny Robots of Pilot Pirx: Stanisław Lem’s Tales
Authors: Oramus Dominika
Published: July 2016

There was a time when Stanisław Lem was the best sold and read writer in Poland (though he was even bigger in the Soviet Union and East Germany). His popularity steadily grew from the time of his debut and reached its apogee in the late nineteen-sixties. For literary critics the death of Lem ten years ago, in 2006, is a closure of his rich and diverse oeuvre, and this has opened new perspectives on ‘lemology’, which at the Polish language departments of some universities is a minor branch of literary studies. Indeed, in different decades of the 20th century Polish academia discussed Lem from a range of vantage points. In his lifetime Lem provoked conflicts and antagonisms. The aim of this paper is to discuss the presentation of a motif Lem often comes back to, namely the motif of the robot, in four of his short stories from the Pilot Pirx cycle. I shall do so in such a way as to show how different critical traditions contribute to my full understanding of the text. The stories I have chosen are “Terminus”, “The Hunt”, “The Accident” and “The Inquest”. I will also allude to “The Mask”. First I need to briefly describe how ‘lemology’ evolved in Poland and how it was prompted by Western criticism. Thereafter I will present the stories I have chosen. Finally, I am going to portray the development of the robot motif in the Pirx cycle in reference to both Polish and foreign critics.

Formation of conditions for increasing the investment attractiveness of the film industry in Russia
Authors: Аракелян Артур , Arakelyan Artur
Published: July 2016

For a long time the industry of cinematography in Russia has been unprofitable, which in turn determines the difficulty in finding investment for new film projects. The part of Russian films in total box office of domestic distribution is negligibly small, the most produced Russian film projects do not pay back the investment made in them. The situation is critical and requires a comprehensive approach to the analysis of all the possible causes of this situation and to develop measures and create conditions to increase investment attractiveness

of this industry in Russia. They are still making incompleted attempts to reform the industry, for example, an adjustment has been made in the distribution system of state support, multiple meetings with theater owners have been held where they taked about a voluntary increase of quotas on rolled domestic films and a number of other measures. However, all these measures are chaotic, and therefore futile, attempts to correct the current situation, do not have single cohesive system of designed reforms that will help to improve the overall

investment attractiveness of this industry. The article attempts to analyze the reasons that have not allowed the domestic film industry to become powerful, profitable and, most importantly, attractive for investment for a long time. The article also suggests actions that should be implemented and adapted to the Russian realities, to increase the investment attractiveness of the film industry in Russia that can serve as a locomotive for the

output of the industry from years of systemic crisis.

The Polar Geophysical Institute has developed a complex facility for continuously monitoring various components of secondary cosmic rays. Gamma radiation during precipitation events has been found to increase the year round regardless of the season. A series of experiments has revealed that there is no precipitation pollution by any natural or artificial radionuclides. Radiation spectrum does not have any characteristic lines of elements. We propose a mechanism providing a satisfactory description for this phenomenon.
Developing An Optimization Model For Managing Energy Efficiency Programs

Energy saving in all economic sectors is one of the most important strategic

objectives of the 21st century. Energy efficiency programs are usually implemented

in parallel with core activities of the company and thereby create an

additional burden on limited budget. Cost-effectiveness of such a program

is not always obvious so the decision to start can be delayed, and actual result

may not be the expected one. In order to ensure economic efficiency the

authors offer to use the tool of mathematical modeling to optimize energy

efficiency program. The paper also presents the results of existing research

analysis on the different approaches towards mathematical modeling of

programs, the authors identify four main goals of the simulation. The authors�

approach is aimed at optimizing energy efficiency program for one or

more criteria within certain restrictions.
Enhanced recovery after surgery: An opportunity to improve fractured neck of femur management
Authors: Wainwright TW , Immins T , Middleton RG
Published: July 2016

Introduction

Approximately 67,000 hip fractures occurred in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in 2014, and annual hospital costs for fracture are around £1.1 billion. We review the potential scope for improving length of stay (LOS).

Methods

Hospital Episode Statistics data on non-elective admissions to 137 hospital trusts between November 2013 and October 2015 with a primary diagnosis of fractured neck of femur were analysed. The primary outcome was superspell LOS, which is the total LOS for all related spells for a single patient during an episode of care. Secondary outcomes were discharge to home, readmission at 28 days and in-hospital mortality.

Results

The mean observed LOS was 22.1±3.8 days (range 12.3-33.7 days). The range for case mix-adjusted expected LOS was 21.5-24.4 days. On average, 6.7±1.5% (range 3.6%-10.9%) of patients died while in hospital, at a relative risk of in-hospital mortality of 28.2-182.9. A mean of 12.3±3.2% (range 3.9% to 23.0%) of patients were readmitted at 28 days, at a relative relative risk of 34.8-203.2.

Conclusions

The wide range of observed LOS in our study is unlikely to be due to the case mix, as the case mix-adjusted range of LOS is less than 3 days, but rather due to local processes and pathways. There is therefore considerable scope for quality and efficiency of care improvements in our hospitals. We propose this could be best achieved if clinicians experienced in enhanced recovery focused on FNOF pathways.
Задача Гурса для нагруженного вырождающегося гиперболического уравнения второго порядка с оператором Геллерстедта в главной части
Authors: Аттаев Анатолий Хусеевич , Attaev Anatoliy Huseevich
Published: July 2016

Рассматривается нагруженное вырождающееся гиперболическое уравнение второго порядка с переменными коэффициентами. Главная часть уравнения представляет собой оператор Геллерстедта. Нагруженное слагаемое представляет собой след искомого решения на линии вырождения, которая лежит внутри области. Исследуется задача с данными на одной из характеристик исследуемого уравнения. В модельном случае, когда коэффициенты при младших членах обращаются в ноль, решение задачи Гурса выписано в явном виде. При этом использовалась функция Грина-Адамара для уравнения Эйлера-Дарбу-Пуассона. В общем случае разрешимость задачи Гурса эквивалентным образом редуцирована к вопросу о разрешимости интегрального уравнения Вольтерра второго рода. В этом случае использована схема, реализованная С. Геллерстедтом при доказательстве существования решения второй задачи Дарбу для рассматриваемого уравнения без нагрузки. В обоих случаях существенно использовались известные свойства функции Грина-Адамара.
О задачах со смещениями в граничных условиях для гиперболического
уравнения
Authors: Уткина Елена Анатольевна , Utkina Elena Anatol'evna
Published: July 2016

В представленной статье рассмотрены три задачи для гиперболического уравнения в характеристической области на плоскости. В обсуждаемых задачах хотя бы одно из условий Гурса заменено на нелокальное условие на соответствующей характеристике. Нелокальные условия представляют собой линейную комбинацию нормальных производных в точках на противоположных характеристиках. В случае замены одного условия решение осуществляется сведением к задаче Гурса, для которой оно существует и единственно. При этом для нахождения неизвестного условия Гурса автор получает интегральное уравнение, которое переписывает в операторной форме и находит случаи его однозначной разрешимости. Для доказательства однозначной разрешимости упомянутого уравнения автор показывает непрерывность линейного оператора и то, что некоторая его степень является сжимающим отображением. Известно, что в этом случае искомое условие Гурса можно записать в виде ряда Неймана. Подробно рассматривается только одна из поставленных задач, но для обеих сформулированы теоремы об однозначной разрешимости. Если же заменены два условия, единственность решения в предположении, что оно существует, доказывается методом априорных оценок. Для этого используются скалярное произведение и норма в пространстве $L_2$. В результате были получены условия на коэффициенты гиперболического уравнения, которые обеспечивают единственность решения задачи. После этого приведен пример, подтверждающий, что полученные условия являются существенными. А именно, построено уравнение, коэффициенты которого не удовлетворяют условиям последней теоремы, заданы условия на характеристиках и построено ненулевое решение
e-Assessment for learning and performativity in higher education: A case for existential learning
Authors: Charteris Jennifer , Quinn Fran , Parkes Mitchell , Fletcher Peter , Reyes Vicente
Published: July 2016

This paper provides a critical and contextualised exploration of assessment for learning (AfL) as an important area of scholarship in higher education, particularly in online learning environments. Although AfL can speak to a range of education discourses, the specific focus here is on the performativity and experiential learning discourses around individual and collective notions of AfL in online settings (e-AfL). We argue that e-AfL practices that emphasise performativity and are used primarily for technicist purposes impoverish their potential to promote learning. We explore the existential notion that e-AfL can transcend formulaic and procedural interpretations of formative assessment in higher education. Rich, divergent approaches to e-AfL can support students in higher education courses to develop their funds of identity, thereby enhancing learner reflexivity and agency.

Published: July 2016

This research is an exploratory study that evaluates the affordances of WeChat for the development of a community of inquiry (CoI) in semi-synchronous language exchange supported by WeChat.WeChat is an instant messenger that facilitates a multimodal environment in which interaction can happen synchronously, semi-synchronously and asynchronously through text, audio, video conferencing and a variety of pedagogically facilitating affordances. Differing from most existing studies in CoI, this research investigates all three presences in the CoI framework, that is, teaching, social, and cognitive presence, as they emerged in the language exchange between students of Mandarin Chinese and students of English. The findings from this research confirm the establishment of the three presences in CoI, but with features specific to WeChat-supported semi-synchronous language exchange. Recommendations for future research into CoI facilitated by WeChat are also put forward.
I “see” what you are saying: The analytical work of diagrams in online discussions
Authors: Stevens Tony Loring
Published: July 2016

Diagrams illustrating research on discussion forum content in online education practices can assist to clarify an author’s thoughts and assist with the reader’s comprehension. A review of past practices in the use of diagrams to explain, demonstrate or propose research findings shows a diversity of practices emerging from naturalistic settings. The tracing of online discussions is sometimes practiced by mapping the activity of participants using peer interaction patterns through a social network analysis or by imposing a problem-solving framework as a heuristic. Other approaches include diagrams that illustrate learning outcomes from discussions rendered by parsing data against pre-defined categories such as Bloom’s taxonomy. Though the approaches described in the literature here have an innovative or novel character, there is limited evidence of wider-scale uptake in the broader literature relating to analysis of online discussions. Likewise, the practice of graphic elicitation to assist in developing research findings in this area is lacking and an area for future development.

Hemmings, TJ, Kendall, KL, and Dobson, JL. Identifying dosage effect of light-emitting diode therapy on muscular fatigue in quadriceps. J Strength Cond Res 31(2): 395–402, 2017—The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of various dosages of light-emitting diode therapy (LEDT) on muscle fatigue while performing a single-leg extension to exhaustion. A total of 34 recreationally resistance-trained athletes between the ages of 18 and 26 participated in 4 trials. Each trial included pre-exercise/postexercise blood lactate measurements and 2 sets of 3 maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVICs), followed by LEDT on 6 points across the superficial quadriceps. Each randomized trial consisted of a placebo, 30, 60, or 120 seconds on each point on the quadriceps. Three minutes after LEDT, the participants performed an eccentric leg extension with 120% of MVIC until fatigue. There was significant increase in the number of repetitions performed between the placebo treatment and 60 seconds (p = 0.023), as well as placebo and 120 seconds (p = 0.004) of irradiation on each point. There were no significant differences in blood lactate levels between any of the 4 trials. In conclusion, LEDT had a positive effect on performance when irradiating 6 points on the superficial quadriceps for 60 and 120 seconds before an eccentric leg extension.

Radnor, JM, Lloyd, RS, and Oliver, JL. Individual response to different forms of resistance training in school-aged boys. J Strength Cond Res 31(3): 787–797, 2017—The aim of this study was to examine individual responses to different forms of resistance training on measures of jumping and sprinting performance in school-aged boys. Eighty boys were categorized into 2 maturity groups (pre- or post–peak height velocity [PHV]) and randomly assigned to a plyometric training, resistance training, combined training, or control group. Intervention groups participated in training twice weekly for 6 weeks, with measures of acceleration, maximal running velocity, squat jump height, and reactive strength index (RSI) collected preintervention and postintervention. In the pre-PHV cohort, plyometric training and combined training resulted in significantly more positive responders than the other 2 groups in both sprint variables (standardized residual values >1.96). In the post-PHV cohort, significantly more positive responders for acceleration and squat jump height resulted from traditional strength training and combined training groups, compared with other groups. Conversely, plyometric training and combined training resulted in a significantly greater number of positive responders than the other 2 groups for maximal velocity and RSI. Control participants rarely demonstrated meaningful changes in performance over the 6-week period. Irrespective of maturation, it would seem that combined training provides the greatest opportunity for most individuals to make short-term improvements in jump and sprint performance. Taking maturation into account, our data show that a plyometric training stimulus is important for individuals in the pre-PHV stage of development, whether as a stand-alone method or in combination with traditional strength training, when attempting to improve jumping and sprinting ability. However, individuals in the post-PHV stage require a more specific training stimulus depending on the performance variable that is being targeted for improvement.

James, RS, Thake, CD, and Birch, SL. Relationships between measures of physical fitness change when age-dependent bias is removed in a group of young male soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 31(8): 2100–2109, 2017—Age-dependent bias is a key issue within talent identification of children, particularly when measures of physical fitness are used. Coaches in sport would benefit from a relatively straightforward method to remove age-dependent bias, enabling identification of children who are relatively high performers for their age. This study aimed to determine whether removal of age effects caused changes in the relationships between physical performance and anthropometric measures commonly used in talent identification and development systems. Sixty male soccer players, aged 11–17 years, underwent measures of anthropometry, muscular power, strength, sprint speed, and agility. Most absolute measures of performance were significantly correlated with each other, and all performance measures were significantly correlated with age. Age residuals were calculated, for all variables, to determine which players performed relatively well for their age and to investigate age-independent relationships between variables. In general, players with relatively fast sprint performance for their age were taller and had relatively high performance in jump power output and grip strength for their age (r > 0.25 and p < 0.025 in each case). Absolute sprint performance PC1 was significantly correlated with absolute agility performance PC1 (r = 0.473, p < 0.001). However, there was no significant relationship between age-independent measures of agility and any other measures. Usage of age residuals highlights performers that have relatively high physical fitness for their age. Such analyses may assist the talent identification and development processes as long as differential rates of physical development between players are also considered.
КООРДИНАЦІЯ ОСОБИСТІСНО-НОРМАТИВНИХ ЗМІН ЦІННІСНИХ ОРІЄНТАЦІЙ В ДІАПАЗОНІ ПРОФЕСІЙНОЇ АДАПТАЦІЇ ОСОБИСТОСТІ

У статті теоретично обґрунтовано роль ціннісних орієнтацій у професійному просторі реалізації особистості та запропоновано розгляд ціннісних орієнтацій як мотиваційно-смислових регуляторів професійної адаптації вчителів з різним стажем роботи у навчальних закладах. На емпіричному рівні з’ясовано полярність ціннісного опосередкування професійної адаптації вчителів залежно від їх належності до форм професійної ідентифікації: ціннісні орієнтації особистості на термінальному та інструментальному рівнях прояву є системоутворювальними показниками професійної адаптації вчителя, що виражається у соціально-психологічних параметрах успішної професійної діяльності. Обгрунтовано альтернативний варіант координації особистісно-нормативних змін ціннісних орієнтацій вчителів в процесі їх професійної адаптації. Констатовано, що позитивні форми професійної ідентифікації особистості пов’язані з мотиваційно-смисловою регуляцією поведінки з орієнтацією на професійну реалізацію, а негативні форми професійної ідентифікації - з орієнтацією на індивідуальні цінності. Зазначено, що при невідповідності особистості професійним вимогам, процеси корекційної регуляції повинні бути спрямовані як на організацію забезпечення професійної активності, так і на перегляд життєво важливих орієнтирів особистості фахівця.

The article theoretically proved the role of value orientations in the professional space of individual realization and the consideration of value orientations as motivational-semantic regulators of teachers’ professional adaptation with different work experience in educational institutions is proposed. At the empirical level polarity of valuable mediation of teachers’ professional adaptation based on their affiliation to professional forms of identification is revealed: the value orientations of personality on the terminal and instrumental level of manifestation is the backbone of teacher’s professional adaptation, which are expressed in socio-psychological parameters of successful professional activity. The alternative variant of personal and regulatory changes of teachers’ value orientations in their professional adaptation coordination is substantiated.

It is ascertained that the positive forms of professional identification associated with the motivational-semantic regulation of behaviour with a focus on professional realization, and the negative forms of professional identification - with a focus on individual values. Indicated that in a case of individual discrepancy with her professional requirements, the processes of correctional regulation should focus both on the organization professional activity providing, and reviewing the vital individual professional reference points.

Аналізуються психологічні чинники особистісної професіоналізації майбутнього педагога. Розглянуто особистісне становлення у взаємозв’язку із самовизначенням особистості під час професійного навчання. Виділено, що професіоналізація у вищому навчальному закладі є процесом самоактуалізації особистості в умовах навчально-професійної діяльності та спілкування, що спрямований на максимальну реалізацію власних можливостей та професійно-особистісних особливостей. Визначено значущість психологічної, соціальної, моральної та духовної ситуації вищого навчального закладу, який впливає на самовизначення майбутнього педагога, формування його світоглядних орієнтацій, здатностей, професійних компетентностей, прийняття та засвоєння ним цінностей, прогнозування життєвих цілей. Обгрунтовано суть професіоналізації в студентів – майбутніх педагогів як цілісного психолого-педагогічного процесу, її впливу на самовизначення та самореалізацію, розвиток готовності до рішення професійних завдань та самовиховання особистісних здатностей, значущих для набуття професіоналізму майбутніми педагогами. Показано, що уже з першого курсу при вивченні предмету загальної психології структура психолого-педагогічного супроводу особистісного розвитку майбутнього педагога має включати: уявлення про професію, знання про вимоги професії до особистості, про особистість як соціальний, психологічний, моральний та духовний феномен.

Analyzes the psychological factors of personal future teacher professionalization. We consider the formation of personal relationship with self-identity during training. Highlight that professionalisation in higher education is a process of self-actualization in terms of educational and professional activities and communication that aims to maximize the opportunities and their own professional and personal characteristics. Determined the significance of psychological, social, moral and spiritual situation of the university, which affects the determination of future teachers, the formation of his philosophical orientation, ability, professional competence, acceptance and assimilation of values, life goals forecasting. Grounded in the essence of the professionalization of students - future teachers as a complete psycho-pedagogical process, its impact on self-determination and self-realization, developing preparedness solutions professional tasks and personal self-ability, important for acquiring professional future teachers. It is shown that already with the first course in the study of the subject of psychology structure of psycho-pedagogical support of personal development of future teachers should include: understanding of the profession, knowledge of the requirements of the profession to the personality of the individual as a social, psychological, moral and spiritual phenomenon.

Стаття присвячена викладу теоретичної та методологічної ресурсності духовної парадигми психології, зокрема, світоглядних орієнтацій, розширення предмета персонології, детермінації психічних та особистісних феноменів і системи персоно­логіч­ного знання. Констатується, що у внутрішньому світі особистості духовна сила пород­жує синергетичні тенденції та блокує ентропійні, зумовлює виникнення одухотворених пси­хічних процесів, станів і властивостей. Ставиться завдання поглиблення онтологізації особистості та вивчення характеристик здорової особистості. Стверджується, що фун­даментальним метакритерієм істинності персоналістичних знань є ефективність духов­ного, морального, соціального, психологічного, психофізіологічного та фізичного здоров’я людини.

The article is devoted to the statement of theoretical and methodological resources of the spiritual paradigm of psychology, in particular world-outlook orientations, the extension of the personology subject, the determination of psychic and personality phenomena and the system of personological knowledge. it is established that in the inner world of personality spiritual force causes synergetic tendency and blocks entropic ones, determines the origin of spiritual psychic processes, states and properties.The task is to deepen ontologisation of personality and study characteristics of a healthy personality. It is asserted that effectiveness of spiritual, moral, social, psychological, psychophysiological and physical health of a human is a fundamental metacriterion of verity of personalistic knowledge.

Published: July 2016

The quantitative effect of the following parameters on the one single step pressureless infiltration characteristics of bilayer B4Cp/rice-husk ash (RHA) porous preforms by aluminum alloys was investigated using the Taguchi method and analysis of variance (ANOVA): infiltration temperature and time, B4C particle size, RHA percentage, percentage porosity in the preforms, and magnesium content in the alloy. The contributions of each of the parameters to the retained porosity, hardness and modulus of elasticity of the resulting bilayer composites were determined. The parameters that most significantly impact the modulus of elasticity (E) of the resulting composites are chemical composition of Al alloy followed by porosity of preforms and B4C particle size. Their relative contributions to the variance in the values of modulus of elasticity are 25.7, 22.48 and 18.44 %, respectively. Verification tests conducted using the established optimum parameters show a good agreement with those of projected values.
