Authors: Birzina Rita , Cedere Dagnija
Published: May 2020

MOOCs have gained popularity increasingly more and more with their open online approach and mass engagement. They could play an important role in higher education. But the question remains whether students are ready for it. The aim of the study was to find out what students' understanding of online learning was and to what extent they were prepared for MOOCs. A research question was raised: there is a relationship among technical competencies, socio-communication competencies, self-efficacy, self-directedness and MOOCs readiness. The survey-monkey's electronic platform was used for data extraction. Open-ended questions were asked on the 4-point Likert scale. According to the research question raised, items were grouped in 5 blocks. Two hundred and forty-seven (247) students participated in the study from different Latvian universities. The descriptive statistics (Mean, Standard Deviation), Mann-Whitney U tests were used in data processing in order to compare the opinions of full-time and part-time students, Kruskal Wallis test for finding out the differences among the opinions of students who are of different age about the engagement in MOOCs. The factor analysis was used for determination main dimensions of the MOOCs readiness – socio-communication competencies, self-efficacy, self-directness, and technical competencies. Spearman's correlation was used for identifying the correlations among these factors. The results obtained showed that there was a relationship among student’s self-directness and socio-communication competencies, and self-efficacy, and readiness for MOOCs, although most students prefer face to face learning.
VISUAL STREET ART: MESSAGES OF RIGA STENCIL GRAFFITI
Authors: Kozlovs Normunds , Skulte Ilva
Published: May 2020

The modern urban space is inevitably the site of different striking messages from advertisement to graffiti. The last are used as an alternative medium of subculture, even if majority of the public fails to notice it or else interprets it, contrary to culture’s ordered world of meanings, as chaotic “dirt” more closely related to nature than culture. The discourse of messages found in the public space - on the façades of surfaces forming urban space, can be interpreted in a countercultural code and is for the subculture of graffiti itself, a battle taking place for the aesthetization of the public space. This is the answer provided by the rebellious sons to the “fathers of the city”, who possess money and power with which to design urban public space using architectural means. The generation of sons, who are excluded from this real estate discourse due to a lack of means, put into play the only thing they own, i.e. their body, which they subject to the danger of imprisonment, because graffiti is an illegal activity, which in legal terms is interpreted as vandalism, a view that also prevails within the mass media. In this paper we analyze the meaning of visual messages of Riga stencil graffiti using social semiotics' methodology (Kress & Leewen, 1996; Jewitt & Oyama, 2004). We find that the utilization of the street as an alternative and independent medium in the form of civil disobedience manifested through the translation of radical political ideas, thus to a certain extent performing the work of propaganda, is an example of creative idealism.

The attitude to the healthy eating and eating habits takes its roots in the family. When becoming a grown-up, a person prefers eating the favorite and habitual food. It depends only on a person’s own choice to observe the basic laws of the healthy eating and keeping to them and in this way to support own health. As opposed to healthy, balanced, diversified, regular and sufficient amount of food there are the strategies that can cause eating disorders if to follow them. Among such disorders might be neurotic anorexia, neurotic bulimia, compulsive overeating and other unspecified eating disorders. The prevalence of eating disorders nowadays is connected with the influence of increased stress, an enlarged information load, an awareness of modern beauty standards as a result, eating disorders risks are increasing. Prompt information and provision of knowledge for teachers, parents and students on eating disorders prevalence, manifestation and the importance of timely recognition for successful treatment is the most important element of preventive measures. The topicality of the research on eating disorders among students is justified by the fact that the early detection of students’ eating disorders can promote timely recognition of the problem and the beginning of treatment reducing serious physical and psychological complications and even fatal cases. The primary goal of this research was to find out eating disorders risks among the 12th grade students. The second goal was to determine eating disorders risks among the 12th grade students due to the gender differences of students. To gain the results of the research the quantitative research method  with the research tool – EAT-26 test (Garner et al., 1982) was used. Two hundreds of the 12th grade students were involved into the research as respondents. The results of the survey show that the 5th part of the respondents have got eating disorders risks indicators. There are statistically significant differences between men and women (р<0.001).

Published: May 2020

After training, it is needed to perform flexibility exercises for muscle stretching, but many choose to use the foam roller. With a foam roller, you can both exercise and perform a myofascial release that affects the deep tissues of extremities. Myofascial release improves blood circulation in muscle, develops elasticity, flexibility and minimizes the risk of an unwanted injury (Myers & Frederick, 2012). Many studies are being carried out to determine the effects of the various types of stretching on balance, speed and reaction (Apostolopoulos, Metisos, Flouris & Koutedakis, 2015). Training programs are designed so that after applying different workloads at the end there is cool-down through stretching exercises, but these training plans rarely recommends foam rollers as stretching means, even though they are popular every day. Aim of study: Find out the most effective method for reducing muscle tension in lower extremities. The study identifies changes in the biomechanical parameters of the hamstring muscle group after general stretching exercises and foam roller, after GRIP fitness concept class, using the Myoton PRO biomechanical parameters measurement. The study do not show any significant differences that may be in favour of one or the other method. Literature sources indicate that foam rollers exercises helps to relieve and restore the strained muscles more quickly, increases flexibility (Barrett, 2017). Our study did not confirm any of such findings. Foam roller exercises for myophascial release is as effective as static stretching exercises.

Published: May 2020

Currently, there are conflicting views around the world regarding infant floating. There is no consensus on the most effective techniques for facilitating infant swimming skills. Infant floating is dominated by a therapeutic and pedagogical approach that ensures parents' involvement in the process. There is no unified methodology for infant floating in Latvia. Furthermore, the number of infant swimming specialists, as well as adequate infrastructure, is insufficient and limited. In the existing situation, it is important to increase parents' competence in infant floating so that parents are able to carry out infant bathing independently. The aim of the study is to develop a model for improving parental competence in infant floating. The main research methods comprised of studying and analysing scientific literature and modelling. The paper is based on 27 scientific literature sources, 22 of them in English, 2 in Latvian and 3 in Russian. The developed model of parental competence improvement in infant floating includes parents' theoretical knowledge of infant floating; independent research on infant floating; water safety; the application of infant floating skills under a specialist’s guidance and the ability to independently use acquired skills without guidance. In the future it will be possible to test the developed model to evaluate its usefulness in promoting parental competence in infant floating, thus ensuring parents' ability to float the infant independently.

Whole body vibration is a worldwide innovation as a part of training method that helps athletes to regain the power and get ready for next training faster. However less attention is paid to local vibration where an isolated muscle or muscle group is stimulated by the use of a vibration device. For the reason to determine the effect of local vibration on anaerobic capacity of rowers, two research groups were assembled from the students of Murjāņi Sport Gymnasium (MSG). The following methods were used in the study: tests – Concept-2, local vibration (LV) manipulations, electromyography and mathematical statistics. The electromyography was made with Biometric LTD. LV manipulations were done to the muscles erector spinae, latisimus dorsi, teres major, teres minor, trapezius, infraspinatus, deltoideus, slenius capitis, triceps brachii, gluteus maximus, semitendinosus, biceps femoris, semimembranosus, castrocnemius, tendo calcaneus, rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, tensor fascia latae, vastus medialis, sarterius, ligamentum patellae, tibialis anterior, rectus abdominis, pectoralis major un biceps brachii. We using 100 Hz frequency, 2 – 4 mm amplitude and different pressure on the muscles. The total LV application time was 5 to 20 min. The obtained data were processed using mathematical statistics. The results: having stated the result difference before LV and after it. The results testify significant improvement of Concept-2 tests results and electromyography results, what is showed by the difference of the mean results. Comparing the results of the rowers of experimental group (EG) and control group (CG) they have differences in the left side muscle latissimus dorsi after the t-test where p>0.05, but stating the percentage of the mean result difference of this muscle it was found out that p>0.05 what also shows significant changes in the muscle biopotential (mV).

Published: May 2020

One of the criteria for exercise intensity in sport science is heart rate. Reduced heart rate in exercise indicates heart’s ability to work more effectively. 12 high class flat-water kayakers (Latvian national team members) took part in this study. The main aims of the study were to evaluate the improvements of the heart regeneration rate and the functional condition of the athletes over the time period of 4 years - where all participant repeated a maximum oxygen consumption test on rowing ergometer 43 times (2-6 times per athlete). Heart rate recovery drop was obtained in the first 4 minutes after the maximum oxygen consumption test. For reflection on functional condition, speed on kayak ergometer at lactate concentration in blood values of 1 mmol/l and 3 mmol/l was measured (low-intensity load and submaximal intensity load). Speed on kayak ergometer at a blood lactate value 3 mmol/l show an average increase of 0.96 km/h (By Student’s t – test for related samples and Wilcoxon’s criteria). For heart rate regeneration Wilcoxon’s criterion shows an average increase of 0.46%.

Published: May 2020

The article analyzes the tasks of implementing the national project "Education" in the region using the example of the Komi Republic. The article examines the conditions for the implementation of a national education project based on the example of the public servant “preschool education”. Based on monitoring indicators of the provision of pre-school education for children aged 1 to 6 years old in educational institutions in the Komi Republic, an assessment is made of the process of providing services by local authorities. The positive dynamics of the provision of public services in terms of the availability of preschool education in the territory of the Komi Republic is revealed. This indicator is ensured by the construction, re-equipment of premises in existing preschool educational institutions, the redemption of premises for placement of nursery groups, as well as by the development of varied forms of preschool education: groups for short-term stay of children, counseling centers of various kinds, groups for the supervision and care of preschool children ages organized by individual entrepreneurs. The article provides a grouping of municipalities by the effectiveness of the provision of public services of preschool education. The article also analyzes the results of the implementation of the national project "Demography", one of the directions of which is the creation of additional places in preschool educational institutions for children under the age of 3 years. Positive factors in the development of the market for preschool services are the presence of a private business and the creation of private preschool educational organizations in the region, the creation of groups for the supervision and care of preschool children organized by individual entrepreneurs. Important for the Far North region is the creation of groups of short-term stay of children in municipal organizations. The analysis shows the activity of government bodies in creating consultation centers for methodological, psychological, pedagogical, diagnostic and advisory assistance to parents in the education and upbringing of preschool children, centers for play support, leisure activities, weekend groups, parent-child club, groups for children disabled people. Digitalization of public administration is implemented through the creation of a regional electronic register of children in need of places in preschool educational institutions of the Komi Republic, which provides the possibility of a "transparent" procedure for the provision of services for receiving applications, registering and enrolling children in preschool educational organizations in electronic form.

The article discusses the problems of implementing state policy in the field of school education and preschool sphere. The article analyzes the results of a sociological study on the example of the educational services market Leningrad region. The results of a sociological study allow us to identify certain shortcomings in the organization of public services at the municipal level of government. The article discusses such aspects of organizing a competitive environment in the field of education as the number of organizations in the market, the representation of organizations in the market, the quality of services, price and the choice of organization. The results of the study allow us to note that more than a third of respondents are satisfied with the quality of services, and the choice of organization, and pricing policy. At the same time, the majority of respondents express certain doubts about these indicators, which is expressed in a small amount of differences between negative and positive values. The results of the study allow us to state the relevance of research on the quality of the organization of the provision of services in the field of preschool education, additional education of children, the market of psychological and pedagogical support services for children with disabilities. Studies show the high importance that households in the Leningrad Region attach to the education sector. This study allows us to identify areas of managerial impact to local authorities regulating these services. Monitoring the state of the market for services in the field of school and preschool education makes it possible to identify problem organizations and directions for solving social and economic problems in the field of educational organization. The education sector for all modern states is an important political component, the accessibility and universality of education is a constitutional indicator of the status - “social”, “rule of law”.

The purpose of the study was to investigate whether there is a relationship betweenthe motivation of forgiveness and satisfaction with the partnership in spouses. The study was attended by 300 married respondents: 180 women and 120 men (M = 39.29, SD = 10.7). Groups were matched according to the following criteria: age (19-60 years); married. To measure motivation of forgiveness, an interpersonal motivation survey related to abuse was used: the version of 18 statements (Transgression-Related Interpersonal Motivations Inventory; TRIM-18; McCullough et al. 1998; McCullough; Root & Cohen; 2006; adaptation in Latvian by S. Brudere -Ruska and V. Perepjolkina, 2012) and couples’ satisfaction index (CSI) Funk, JL & Rogge, RD (2007) was used to measure couples’ satisfaction. The study raised the question of whether there is a relationship between the motivation for forgiveness and the satisfaction of the spouses with the relationship? There were statistically significant positive correlations between forgiveness and satisfaction, which indicates that increasing rates of forgiveness increase satisfaction rates, and a negative close correlation was obtained by avoiding and retaliation for forgiveness, indicating that, as these scales increase, they will decrease satisfaction. Most respondents of the study against their partner, who is the abuser, are showing signs of grace that can be seen in the results of this research. The results of the study are in line with previous similar studies and confirm that forgiveness contributes to the well-being of the relationship.

Enhancing NBN's Value
Authors: Ferrers Richard Anthony
Published: May 2020

The NBN, Australia’s National Broadband Network, is nearing its 2020 completion. The value of the NBN depends on what you compare it to. While Australia’s broadband has significantly improved over the last ten years, it is useful to compare Australia’s NBN with similar activity in the OECD and with Australia’s Top 10 Trading Partners to gain a richer understanding of NBN’s value. Australia’s broadband performance compares poorly with other OECD countries on download speed, especially over 100 Mbps download subscriptions and average download speed. However, imminent release in May 2020 of new NBN gigabit pricing could significantly improve Australia’s world ranking on this average download speed comparison. Recommendations for improving NBN’s value beyond speed are made, including encouraging affordable gigabit NBN services; ongoing NBN upgrades; encouraging NBN use; focussing NBN Corporate Reporting on customer satisfaction and ongoing international comparison.
Investigação narrativa: entre detalhes e duração
Authors: Breton Herve
Published: May 2020

A investigação narrativa tem por especificidade buscar compreender o vivido mobilizando as narrativas da experiência “em primeira pessoa”. Os princípios que fundamentam sua pertinência são os seguintes: apreensão e compreensão dos processos de edificação dos “pontos de vista” que emergem das situações experimentadas pelas pessoas implicadas na investigação, supondo acompanhar duas passagens: da experiência à linguagem – ou a expressão pelas palavras do vivido – e a configuração das palavras em textos – ou a narração. A afirmação da necessidade de um acompanhamento desses processos provém do seguinte postulado: o início da pesquisa supõe conduzir a si mesmo em direção a um trabalho de apreensão do vivido segundo diferentes escalas temporais a partir das quais pode se chegar à narração da experiência. Assim, buscando a expressão do vivido “em primeira pessoa”, o investigador (que pode ser um pesquisador, um formador, um conselheiro de orientação profissional) não solicita ao outro a informação sobre o que foi vivido. Ele mobiliza os procedimentos de orientação, cujo o efeito é o de favorecer “a entrada na investigação” dos sujeitos com os quais ele pesquisa e trabalha, o que leva a considerar que a investigação narrativa é uma forma de pesquisa “necessariamente em primeira pessoa”, pois somente a pessoa que vive a experiência de um fenômeno encontra-se capaz de dizer, a partir do seu ponto de vista e com as suas próprias palavras, sobre o que ela viveu, os efeitos que ela experienciou e os impactos experienciais e biográficos sofridos.

How do Central European forest stands respond to climate change - Review
Authors: Szegleti Zsófia , Czóbel Szilárd , Zimmermann Zita , Horváth Ferenc
Published: May 2020

Current global climate change alters the behaviour of species, and this can be also witnessed when investigating the species composition, the structure and the processes of different ecosystems. Today a grow- ing number of researches deal with the climatic exposures of forests, mostly focusing on the responses of the dominant climate susceptible tree species and the direct and indirect impacts of climate change experienced in forests. During literature review we looked for publications investigating the experienced impacts of cli- mate change in our region including responses witnessed in growth, mortality and regeneration capacity of tree species. From different climatic exposures the impacts of increased CO2 level, nitrogen deposition, milder winters and more droughty and drier summers can be experienced most in our region. Publication’s statements on the changes of tree species and forest stands have been grouped and summarized according to the character- istic exposures. Based on the literature data it can be stated that climate change variously alters the tree species composition, mixture ratio and diversity of forest stands and the outcomes of other forest dynamic processes through vitality, production and competitiveness of different tree species.
Effect of water supply and season on the productivity and carotenoid content of cherry type processing tomato
Authors: Égei Márton , Deák Konrád János , Szuvandzsiev Péter
Published: May 2020

The weather, the growing conditions and the genetic background of the varieties determine the efficiency of processing tomato growing. During years Strombolino a cherry type tomato hybrid with determinate growth habit was investigated to show the effect of unirrigated and regularly irrigated treatments on the yield quantity and phytonutrients content under open field conditions. Too much water (precipitation + irrigation) was disadvantaged for the productivity and yield quality of cherry tomato hybrid because the amount of diseased yield increased while the soluble solids content (°Brix) and lycopene content of tomato fruit decreased. In the mildly wet year, irrigation had positive effect on the marketable yield, the β-carotene and zeaxanthin content of tomato fruit but the ratio of diseased fruit increased. In the dry years smaller weighed fruits were produced but the regular irrigation significantly increased the marketable yield, °Brix, β-carotene and cis lycopene content of fruit.

Con el fin de conocer la asociación de Chlamydia trachomatis con diversos sindromes, se estudiaron 111 mujeres distribuidas en 5 grupos de acuerdo al diagnóstico. Se utilizó la técnica de Inmunofluorescencia con anticuerpos monoclonales en muestra endocervical obtenida de todas las pacientes. Seis de 30 pacientes (20%) estudiadas con diagnóstico de cervicitis en un centro de control de venéreas, fueron positivas para Chlamydia trachomatis; una de 30 (3.3%) mujeres asintomáticas en el tercer trimestre del embarazo fue igualmente positiva. No se encontró positividad para éste microorganismo en 17 mujeres con diagnóstico de cervicitis en un hospital general, en 7 mujeres con diagnóstico de infertilidad con factor tubárico comprobado, ni en 9 mujeres con diagnóstico reciente de embarazo ectópico.En los grupos con diagnóstico de infertilidad y embarazo ectópico se midieron anticuerpos anticlamidia tipo IgG en una muestra de suero de todas las pacientes. Se utilizó la técnica de Inmunofluorescencia indirecta. Cinco de ocho pacientes infértiles y dos de veinte pacientes con embarazo ectópico reciente presentaron títulos de anticuerpos entre 1:8 a 1:64. No se observaron títulos mayores de 1:64 en ninguna de las pacientes estudiadas. Se observó una diferencia significativa (P 0.001) en el número total de embarazos para estos dos grupos de acuerdo con los títulos de anticuerpos.

Vom konservativen Schriftsteller zum Inneren Emigranten. Ernst Wiechert - Eine Fallstudie
Authors: Gołaszewski Marcin
Published: May 2020

Der aus Ostpreußen stammende Schriftsteller und Dichter Ernst Wiechert hat zwischen 1920 und 1968 das literarische und kulturelle Leben in Deutschland und in den Nachbarländern mitbestimmt. Die vorliegende Monographie hat zum Ziel, das Gesamtschaffen Ernst Wiecherts zu analysieren und aufgrund dieser Analyse den literarischen Werdegang eines deutschen Schriftstellers zu schildern, vom Anhänger der Konservativen Revolution bis zu seinem Protest und Widerstand gegen den Nationalsozialismus. Der Kernpunkt der Arbeit ist also nicht der biographische Blick auf die Persönlichkeit Wiecherts, obwohl diese natürlich eine wichtige Rolle bei der Auslegung seiner Werke spielt und der Bezug darauf unvermeidlich ist, sondern die Analyse seiner Werke hinsichtlich ihres Widerstandspotentials und der Widerspiegelung der Entwicklung der Persönlichkeit und der Schöpferkraft Wiecherts selbst. Es soll gezeigt werden, wie einer der meistgelesenen deutschsprachigen Schriftsteller mit der nationalsozialistischen Diktatur umging und wodurch seine Entwicklung als Dichter und Entfaltung als Mensch bedingt war. Der Verfasser der Studie geht von der These aus, dass Ernst Wiechert in der bisherigen literaturwissenschaftlichen Forschung – vorwiegend eindimensional – als christlicher Autor und Repräsentant einer christlichen Orientierung innerhalb des Widerstands gegen den Nationalsozialismus im Dritten Reich wahrgenommen wurde. Diese Wahrnehmung ist und war insofern problematisch, als sie in einem nur geringen Maße die Dynamik der schriftstellerischen und publizistischen Tätigkeit Wiecherts berücksichtigt, die ein Effekt der eigenen Erfahrungen des Autors wie auch der kollektiven Einsichten seiner Generation war. In der Problematisierung dieses dynamischen Aspektes steckt der innovative Charakterdes Forschungsvorhabens. Eine weitere Frage, der in der Studie nachgegangen wird, ist das Phänomen einer relativ schnellen „Peripherisierung“ des Werks Ernst Wiecherts im Deutschland der Nachkriegszeit und seine möglichen Ursachen.

VERIFICATION OF DENGUE FEVER CASES IMPORTED TO THE TERRITORY OF THE SOUTH FAR EAST
Authors: Leonova G. N.
Published: May 2020

There are various diagnostic and research methods for detecting cases of Dengue fever, the effectiveness of which is given in this work. Materials and methods. On biomaterial from 70 people, verification of imported cases of Dengue fever into the south of the Far East from 2012 to 2019 is shown. Serological and virological methods were used, as well as PCR. Results. Using the immunochromatographic rapid test, the Dengue virus (DENV) NS1 antigen and antibodies to DENV (IgM and IgG) were detected in human blood. We examined 12 patients from the infectious diseases department with unknown fever and the blood of 58 people who applied to clinics in Vladivostok after returning from tourist trips. Dengue fever was diagnosed in 23 patients (32.8%), of which antigen was detected in 56%, IgM antibodies in 91.3% and IgG in 52.1%. In 2 cases (8.7%), only antigen was detected in patients. Three strains of the pathogen were isolated by virological methods from 18 blood samples, two of which turned out to be the DENV of the 1st genotype and one - of the DENV of the 2nd genotype. Using RT-PCR, 38 blood samples were tested positive in the immunochromatographic rapid test, of which in 16 cases (42.1%) a DENV marker was detected, in 11 cases it was genotype 1, in three cases genotype 2, and one each - genotypes 3 and 4.Conclusions: 1. The most reliable method of rapid verification (in 100%) the primary infection DENV was the comprehensive determination of antigen and antibodies of the IgM class; 2. With antigenemia, blood should be used to isolate the virus, as well as to diagnose the disease by PCR and to establish the genotype of the DENV; 3. When using only PCR to indicate Dengue virus, a significant proportion of the disease cases will not be diagnosed.
Clinical reasoning in veterinary practice
Authors: Vinten Claire Elaine Kirsty
Published: May 2020

Abstract

Clinical reasoning is the process by which veterinary surgeons integrate a multitude of clinical and contextual factors to make decisions about the diagnoses, treatment options and prognoses of their patients. The brain utilises two methods to achieve this: type one and type two reasoning. Type one relies on shortcuts such as pattern-recognition and heuristics to deduce answers without involving working memory. Type two uses working memory to deliberately compute logical analyses. Both reasoning methods have sources of errors, and research has shown that diagnostic accuracy is increased when they are used together when problem-solving. Despite this, it appears unlikely that clinical reasoning ‘skill’ can be improved; instead, the most effective way to improve reasoning performance experimentally appears to be by increasing and rearranging knowledge. As yet, there is no evidence that overall clinical reasoning error can be reduced in practice.
