Cooperative learning vs. direct instruction in youth sport: effects on children’s motor learning
Authors: Železnik Mežan Lea , Škof Branko
Published: July 2023

Cooperative Learning promotes peer teaching that fosters active learner engagement and better retention and usefulness of knowledge. Research has shown that Cooperative Learning has a positive impact on motor learning in PE students. The aim of this study was to investigate whether Cooperative Learning is a more appropriate teaching approach for use in youth competitive athletics to improve children’s motor learning, compared to the Direct Instruction used so far. Twelve Slovenian athletics trainers and 142 young athletes were randomly divided into an experimental group that completed three Cooperative Learning units (30 training sessions) and a control group. The children’s performances in four track and field skills were recorded and rated by three qualified assessors. A pretest-posttest research design was used. One-way analyses of covariance were conducted to examine whether the model (Cooperative Learning vs. Direct Instruction) influenced posttest scores, controlling for pretest scores. Significant differences were in favour of Cooperative Learning were found for three variables: track and field skills, low skipping, and crouch start. We found that Cooperative Learning is very effective in improving motor learning in youth competitive athletics and even more effective than Direct Instruction. The cooperative nature of the studied pedagogical model promotes peer teaching, giving feedback and taking responsibility, which has a more positive effect on the young athletes’ sport skills than the traditional teaching method.

Published: July 2023

The purpose of this qualitative research was to study the outcomes of  career development of women’s handball players through longitudinal systematic observation. The purpose was to identify the sociocultural factors and personal characteristics that enabled athletes  from geographically small countries with middle-ranking national handball teams to fulfil their quality of life aspirations and trajectories in combination with professional sporting career goals.
Data collection commenced in 2012 when all athletes participated in semi structured interviews. A total of fourteen  interviews were conducted – eight  with Slovenian women’s national team athletes and six with Swiss national team athletes. All athletes were ranked in the top ten players in their national teams, all had played more  than 50 international matches.
 
 Systematic observation of the athletes also commenced in 2022 and continued for seven years with records made of the career development of each player and their migration patterns, and their respective career transitions.  At the conclusion of the observation phase, the eight migrant players who were still actively playing handball were re-interviewed.
The study concluded  that access to dual career prospects, represent key points of successful career development in women’s handball players from geographically small countries with middle-ranking national handball teams. The model of a successful female  athletes from geographically small countries with middle-ranking national handball team identified several key factors for success. These factors included excellent handball skills;  a successful dual career pattern; an adequate level of education and, a migration experience, and realisation of their quality of life aspirations and trajectories as significant factors in evaluating their success, both as athletes and on a personal level external to sport.
Blood biochemical changes after dramatic increase in running training volume: exploratory study in 3 elite soldiers.
Authors: Rodrigues dos Santos José Augusto , Pizarro Andreia
Published: July 2023

Background: Ultra-Endurance running training is a powerful stressor for all biological systems and depends mainly on its volume and intensity. Although the high physical demands, soldiers are an unstudied group and information on exercise indicators are essential.
Objective: This study aimed to observe the changes in serum biochemical indicators in previously endurance trained elite soldiers after a 17-week training program with a dramatic increase in running volume.
Methods: Three subjects (#1: 26 years, 169,5cm; #2: 27 years, 167,9cm; #3: 27 years, 180,7cm) running daily between 10-12 km/day, increased their running volume to prepare the participation in a 100-km ultramarathon race. For 17 weeks the training program included 10-12 sessions per week, corresponding to 200-260 km. Average daily running volume was 35.8±6.2 km. Blood samples were taken for analysis of urea, creatinine, glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides, AST, ALT, CK, aldolase, Na, chloride, P, Ca, K, Fe, Mg and cortisol.
Results: Despite a marked drop in iron and a rise in phosphorus, the overall mineral status remained within laboratory reference values. ALT, AST, Aldolase showed slight changes while a marked increase was found in CK. Creatinine decreased and urea maintained the high starting values. Changes of glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides had no clinical significance. After the 17-week the cortisol increased to outside of the reference values in two participants.
Conclusion: This study shows that a dramatic increase in running training volume experienced by previous trained runners is mainly reflected in basal blood chemistry through the reduction of iron and creatinine and increase of cortisol.
Is the racewalking biomechanics significantly influenced by coaching?
Authors: Jurlin Krešimir , Babić Vesna , Dolenec Aleš
Published: July 2023

The purpose of the study was to determine the differences between two different groups of racewalkers each in the variables describing the biomechanics of their gaits. The research method consisted of two groups of 7 athletes walking at an individually determined race speed across a force plate recorded by video cameras and the OptoJumpNext system. To determine the differences in 10 key variables between the two groups, a two-sample unpaired T-test was performed, which was also controlled by Cohens' effect size indicator. The main finding of the study is that 5 key variables unrelated to walking speed were statistically different between the two groups, with group A (predominantly "M"-shaped) having a lower ratio of peak ground reaction force (GRF) to GRF at 70% of the contact phase, a lower ratio of peak GRF to GRF at 70-80% of the contact phase, greater pelvic rotation and a more upright posture. There were no significant differences between the two groups on two variables describing upper body movement. Two other variables (peak GRF and flight time) were also statistically different between the two groups, but these variables depended on walking speed, which was not identical for the two groups. In conclusion, although the gait in racewalking is quite strictly defined by the rules, different training can lead to very different biomechanical indicators. We suggest that the above variables can and should be controlled and influenced by training to develop a smooth technique with lower peak ground reaction forces.

Authors: Cheremenina N. A. , Veremeeva S. A. , Krasnolobova E. P.
Published: July 2023

The work is devoted to the study of the adaptive features of the histological structure of the liver of some representatives of the hare order. The material for the study was organocomplexes from clinically healthy productive rabbits, decorative rabbits and white hare. Research work was carried out at the Department of Anatomy and Physiology of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education of the State Agrarian University of the Northern Trans-Urals. Conducted morphometric studies and selected material for morphological and histological studies. The liver of the studied species of the order Lagomorphs has a convex parietal and slightly concave visceral surface. The right and left lobes of the liver are divided into lateral and medial parts. In a productive rabbit and a decorative rabbit, the lateral right lobe is shorter than the lateral left lobe, and in the white hare, both of these are short. The square share of all is an elongated quadrangular shape. Caudate and mastoid processes are small. The gallbladder lies between the right lateral and right medial lobes and does not extend beyond the ventral edge of the liver. Histological studies were carried out according to generally accepted methods. In all species of the order of lagomorphs, formed triads were observed located on the border between the lobules. Hepatocytes form hepatic laminae. Trabeculae and loose fibrous connective tissue are not expressed. Analyzing the obtained histological data, we can say that the adaptive features will include: in rabbits bred under industrial conditions - an increased area of hepatocytes (376.29±22.95 µm2) and nuclei (52.44±4.51 µm2), a decrease in NCR 0.16±0.007; in ornamental rabbits - a decrease in the area of hepatocytes (38.32±1.77 µm2) and nuclei (7.06±0.59 µm2), but the average value of the Nuclear-Cytoplasmic Ratio is 0.42±0.01; in the hare - the average values of the area of hepatocytes (260.79±15.88 µm2) and nuclei (41.58±1.32 µm2), NCR 0.4±0.01. These features indicate significant differences in the nutrition and maintenance of these animals, as well as various adaptation processes.
Skeletotopy of the caudal vena cava of Yorkshire piglets
Authors: Shchipakin M. V. , Khvatov V. Al.
Published: July 2023

The venous system of animals always arouses a certain interest among veterinary specialists. On the one hand, there are issues related to comparative anatomy in different animal species, and on the other hand, there is a practical interest put forward by veterinary surgeons and clinicians. First of all, it is certainly the valve apparatus of this system, which gives reason to believe that the valves of the veins not only direct the movement of blood through the venous vessels, but also contribute to balancing the blood pressure in the entire cardiovascular system. The purpose of our study is to study the skeletotopy of the caudal vena cava of Yorkshire piglets, to give anatomical and topographic characteristics of veins, to carry out morphometry of main collectors. To study the branching of the caudal vena cava of Yorkshire piglets, ten corpses aged 28-30 days of life were obtained, which were delivered from the pig breeding complex to the Department of Animal Anatomy of the St. Petersburg State University of Veterinary Medicine. During the study, such methods as: fine anatomical dissection, vasorentgenography, morphometry, photographing were used. As a result of our study, skeletotopy of the caudal vena cava of Yorkshire piglets with anatomical and topographic characteristics of veins was established and morphometry of the main collectors was performed. The topography of the iliac veins in Yorkshire piglets has certain patterns associated with the conditions of maintenance and movement. No valves were found in the common iliac vein, which ensures the outflow of blood from the parietal and visceral branches. A large number of anastomoses were established between the circumferential deep iliac, gluteal and internal sacral veins.
Clinically significant and colonizing Enterobacteria isolates with extended spectrum beta-lactamase production and their significance in horse breeding
Authors: Pushkina V. S. , Makavchik S. An.
Published: July 2023

This review article is devoted to the problem of the emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant enterobacteria producing beta-lactamase in horse breeding. Foal colibacillosis is an acute infectious disease of young animals, manifested by diarrhea, signs of severe intoxication and dehydration of the body, caused by pathogenic Escherichia coli. Foals get sick in the first 3-7 days after birth. Infection occurs alimentary, less often – aerogenic and intrauterine transmission. The source of infection are sick and recovered animals. The duration of the disease is 2-3 days with a mortality rate of up to 90%, which leads to multiple economic losses. Multiresistant Escherichia coli can accumulate in the intestines of healthy animals and be excreted with fecal matter into the environment, which leads to the spread of pathogenic microflora among livestock. In this case, the animals are latent or hidden carriers that do not show clinical signs of the disease. Clinically significant isolates are causative agents of infectious and inflammatory diseases. These microorganisms represent a potential hazard for the development of an infectious process, they exhibit virulent properties that lead to damage to the tissues of the host organism, which significantly limits the possibility of their eradication. Along with clinically significant isolates, there are colonizing isolates that do not cause infection at a specific site. It should be noted that under certain conditions, the colonizing isolate can cause an infectious process. Irrational use of antimicrobials is a key reason for the development of tolerance. Also, the untimely detection of enzyme inactivation of antibiotics by laboratory methods and the spread of resistance genes play an important role. Currently, disks and media with antibacterial drugs are widely used to detect multidrug resistance of microorganisms. Along with these methods, PCR diagnostics and sequencing are used to accurately determine antibiotic resistance genes. Due to the importance and relevance of this topic, many scientists are conducting research to detect and study the multiresistance of enterobacteria such as E. coli, and their spread among animals.
Resistance to antimicrobial preparations of Enterococcus isolated from milk during infectious mastitis in cows
Authors: Makavchik S. A. , Pavlova V. S.
Published: July 2023

For successful pharmacotherapy of animals, it is important to identify species of Enterococcus faecalis pathogens isolated from milk in infectious mastitis of cows, analyze the antibiogram and interpret the results, and laboratory control over the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance. This is necessary for veterinarians to rationally select antibacterial drugs and predict their clinical effectiveness. The purpose of the study was to study the resistance to antimicrobial drugs of Enterococcus faecalis bacteria isolated from milk in infectious mastitis of cows. In the period from 2021 to 2022, 100 strains of microorganisms were isolated from the mastitis milk of cows. The obtained strains were identified as gram-negative bacteria in 32% of isolation cases, gram-positive bacteria - 68%, of which 14% were Enterococcus faecalis. When interpreting the antibiogram, most isolates of Enterococcus faecalis are sensitive to tetracycline in 21.4% of isolation cases, ampicillin, amoxicillin in 100%. It was noted resistant to tetracycline in 78.6% of cases of isolation, gentamicin, cephalexin, cefotaxime, erythromycin, clindamycin, lincomycin, tobramycin, ceftriaxone and streptomycin in 100%. Antibiotic resistance correlates with the clinical failure of antimicrobials in veterinary medicine. Multi-resistance of Enterococcus faecalis to various groups of antibacterial agents leads to limited use of antibiotics, which significantly reduces the possibilities of therapy and affects the economic condition of agriculture.
Analysis of the treatment of comminuted fractures of tubular bones of the extremities in cats and dogs
Authors: Semenov B. S. , Kuznetsova T. Sh. , Koniaeva E. A.
Published: July 2023

Surgical resolution of comminuted fractures of tubular bones is an urgent issue for practicing veterinarians. Comminuted fractures account for 52%, transverse fractures for 8.7%, oblique fractures for 26.1%, and compression fractures for 13.0% of total canine fractures. Thus, comminuted fractures of the tubular bones of the extremities are the most frequent. There are several types of bone fixation in comminuted fractures. Many authors do not recommend using of intramedullary osteosynthesis in the treatment of this type of fracture since it is not possible to connect all bone fractures. The aim of this study was to compare the methods of surgical treatment of comminuted fractures in dogs and cats admitted to the clinics and to choose the most optimal ways of treatment. In total, 4,396 cats and dogs were admitted to the clinic, excluding those admitted for vaccination. The surgical department received 35% of the total number of animals. Patients with bone and joint pathology accounted for 19% of all surgical causes and to 7% of all animals admitted to the clinic. In the group of 9 cats and 9 dogs three main types of fracture were diagnosed: transverse fracture in 6 animals (4 dogs and 2 cats), oblique fracture in 4 animals (3 dogs and 1 cat) and comminuted fracture in 8 animals (2 dogs and 6 cats). The article is illustrated with X-rays images of the clinical cases presented. In order to perform osteosynthesis using a single-plane bilateral external fixator, the authors injected 2-3 Kirchner spokes each into the proximal and distal bone fragments by drilling through the bone while perforating soft tissue on both sides. The ends of the spokes on both sides were bent towards the opposite fragment, parallel to the bone axis, at a distance of 1.0 to 3.0 cm from the skin surface. The ends of the spokes form the rods of a bilateral single-plane fixator. The rod-forming spokes are tightened with wire serrations on 3-4 levels and additionally fixed with fast hardening plastic (turbocast) or bone cement (Palacos, GMW, Osteobond) while controlling the fracture reposition. Combination with wire serclages, sutures, compression screw or intramedullary Kirschner wire osteosynthesis is possible.

RELAÇÕES DE PODER NO DOMÍNIO DA EDUCAÇÃO E DA ARTE: DIÁLOGO ENTRE GOFFMAN, FOUCAULT E BOURDIEU
Authors: Oliveira Júnior Francisco , da Silva Maria , de Amaral Alcides
Published: July 2023

This paper develops a discussion that seeks to establish the possibility of a dialogue between Goffman, Foucault and Bourdieu. The objective is to propose a conceptual debate around the notion of power in the theoretical perspectives of these authors, approaching the fields of art and education, approached through different empirical experiences. The main argument of the article is based on interdependent fields of research – Culture, Education and Art – developed in three ongoing research projects. In the field of art, the investigation takes place around the space of resistance and creativity in the face of forms of field domination. Then, when dealing with education, the investigation is aligned with the approach of power as an instrument of domination, subjection and discipline. As a possibility, the dialogue between a perspective oriented to a micro sociological tradition focused on the analysis of situational interaction and an approach to power understood in its relational sense is sought. It is assumed that for a theorization of the modern, decentered and relational subject, it is only possible from a dialogue between an approach that considers action and structure as inseparable parts of the social relationship.

Over 100 papers presenting development in the field have been considered, primarily published between 2020-2023, separated into their architectural type. Within each type, significant works and conclusions have been highlighted. We conclude the paper with a discussion of the challenges facing the segmentation landscape as a whole, and how these challenges have been best circumnavigated to date.
Drivers of inflation in the Greek economy
Authors:   Athens University of Business and Economics, Kofina Iro , Petroulakis Filippos ,   Bank of Greece
Published: July 2023

One of the hallmark achievements of modern central banking has been to quell high inflation. However, after over two decades of low inflation, a series of shocks, including the pandemic recession, supply bottlenecks, highly accommodative policy, and, perhaps most saliently, the war in Ukraine, have led to multi-decade inflation highs across most advanced economies. Understanding the ultimate causes of this inflation surge is vital for the proper design of policy, yet disentangling the various shocks is hard, particularly when they affect prices in the same direction. In this paper, we apply the novel shock decomposition framework of Shapiro (2022) to Greek data and estimate the contribution of supply and demand shocks to inflation developments over the recent episode, as well as for the 2001-2019 period. For the recent episode, we find that supply forces were slightly more important for headline inflation, but much more important for underlying inflation.

Published: July 2023

This policy brief addresses issues of education rights in the context of climate change and potential climate change displacement for SIDS residents. Challenges to adapting learning systems in the context of climate change are common to many SIDS and other countries, but SIDS also face unique challenges due to their geography, culture, and economic activities. It provides the following recommendations to build the resilience of education systems in SIDS to meet the needs of people displaced by climate change: (i) build and maintain multiple facilities that can serve as evacuation centres so schools can continue as learning facilities in the aftermath of extreme weather events; (ii) continue to develop teaching materials and pedagogies within SIDS’ education systems to be employed during times of disruption, while ensuring learners’ socialisation needs are met in the case of online or distance learning; (iii) create parallel curricular competencies between SIDS and destination countries, and advocate for access to education and training in any bilateral or multilateral arrangements for mobility and migration.

Clinical reasoning is an essential expertise of health care professionals that includes the complex cognitive processes that lead to diagnosis and management decisions. In order to optimally teach, learn, and assess clinical reasoning, it is imperative for teachers and learners to have a shared understanding of the language. Currently, educators use the terms schema and framework interchangeably but they are distinct concepts. In this paper, we offer definitions for schema and framework and use the high-stakes field of aviation to demonstrate the interplay of these concepts. We offer examples of framework and schema in the medical education field and discuss how a clear understanding of these concepts allows for greater intentionality when teaching and assessing clinical reasoning.
FIGURAS Y LOCUS DE LA DEPREDACIÓN: EL REALISMO DELIRANTE EN TIERRA AMARILLA DE GERMÁN MARÍN
Authors: Johansson María Teresa
Published: July 2023

La novela breve Tierra amarilla (2014) de Germán Marín se adentra en los territorios regionales del norte de Chile para descifrar huellas de diversas formaciones históricas y discursivas posdictatoriales cifradas en el extractivismo. Mediante operaciones de filiación y distanciamiento con la literatura de tradición realista, Tierra amarilla hace emerger una narrativa real (Horne) de considerable significación política y ecológica en la que los procedimientos realistas ceden ante disrupciones delirantes generadas por distintas figuras de la depredación inscritas en el territorio y en los que la isla urbana (Ludmer) ingresa al espacio de la provincia. En esta trama de figuras de la depredación convergen elementos míticos y rituales junto a disrupciones de la imagen visual dispuestos en una sintaxis de locus ficcionales que genera una nueva topología de la excepción (Agamben). La presencia del chupacrabas, el enclave agrícola militar, el cadáver en la mina y un entorno de sequía provocados por la apropiación extractiva, son algunas de las figuras que conforman una compleja sintaxis de la depredación que subsume dimensiones geológicas, políticas, económicas y de género afectando la vitalidad de la propia narración.
SURIRE DE PERUT+OSNOVIKOFF: OBSERVANDO EL FIN DEL MUNDO EN LA PIEL DEL DESIERTO
Authors: Figueroa Sebastián
Published: July 2023

En este artículo analizo el documental observacional Surire (2015) de los realizadores Bettina Perut+Iván Osnovikoff desde una perspectiva metodológica que vincula la ecocrítica con una aproximación táctil a la imagen cinematográfica. Este documental muestra, sin comentarios, entrevistas o música, la vida cotidiana de una comunidad aimara que reside en las inmediaciones del Salar de Surire, un área natural protegida por el Estado de Chile. Paralelamente, Surire registra las operaciones extractivas de una mina de bórax que amenaza la biodiversidad del salar. De esta manera, el documental expone la crisis que experimentan las formas de vida que confluyen en lo que Macarena Gómez-Barris ha llamado la zona extractiva, es decir, aquellas regiones de alta biodiversidad que se han convertido, desde un paradigma colonial, en espacios de extractivismo y exclusión racial. Al mismo tiempo, el documental nos enseña cómo los habitantes humanos y extrahumanos del salar llevan la vida adelante a pesar de la crisis en que se hallan por medio de alianzas establecidas en los bordes de lo que Jens Andermann llama el inmundo. Partiendo de estos operadores teóricos, el ensayo aborda Surire desde la perspectiva de la violencia a la que están expuestos los habitantes del Salar y también de sus estrategias de sobrevivencia frente a la amenaza del extractivismo. Para esto, me enfoco en el uso de primerísimos planos de la piel de los cuerpos indígenas, los animales y la superficie del desierto, lo que crea una visualización háptica del entorno del salar y nos hace sentir la crisis en nuestros propios cuerpos.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the many forms of technology that are utilized by instructors of English at MTS Swasta Al-Amin, as well as the various forms of ICT that are utilized by those teachers. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with interviews and observations serving as the primary data collection tools. The observation was used to observe the English instructor, and the interview was used to learn about the types of ICT that were used by the teachers. This study focused on two educators in the seventh and eighth grades who used information and communication technology (ICT) into their English lessons. The findings of this study indicate that English instructors make use of many technological tools in their lessons, such as lcd monitors, laptops, speakers, the internet, google classroom, email, whatsapp, facebook, instagram, youtube, power point presentations, focus keys, Microsoft Word, and podcasts. The instructors favored using technology because it kept the students motivated and interested, as well as because it assisted the instructors in displaying materials, sending assignments, and providing notifications everywhere. According to the findings of the research described above, one may draw the conclusion that the integration of technology, specifically ICT, into the educational process has made it easier for educators to present, design, and develop instructional material and tools that are helpful for students' learning motivation.

ORGANIZATIONAL MECHANISM OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF GRAIN PRODUCTION IN THE CONDITIONS OF DIGITALIZATION OF AGRICULTURE
Authors: Уколова Н.В. , Дудникова Е.Б. , Фомин Д.И.
Published: July 2023

В статье рассматривается использование инновационных технологий в сельском хозяйстве. Указано, что цифровые технологии оказывают существенную помощь фермерам и агрономом. Авторами представлена логическая модель применение цифровых технологий в зерновое производство: вложения в цифровые решения и их апробация; сокращение производственных затрат; увеличение урожайности и валового сбора; рост прибыли; прирост части собственного капитала, инвестируемого в инновационные продукты. В статье указано, что освоение цифровых технологий в сельском хозяйстве должно проходить в три этапа, это: стартовый, промежуточный и завершающий. Обращается внимание, что последующие этапы цифровизации зернового производства и их переход на новый технологический уклад потребует вовлечения новых ресурсов. Это возможно достигнуть лишь совместными усилиями представителями агробизнеса, органов государственной власти, научных и академических организаций и финансовыми учреждениями. Предложенный, авторами, организационный механизм инновационного развития зернового производства в условиях цифровизации сельского хозяйства скажется на росте показателей экономической эффективности и ускорит переход на новый шестой технологический уклад.

The article discusses the use of innovative technologies in agriculture. It is indicated that digital technologies provide significant assistance to farmers and agronomists. The authors present a logical model for the use of digital technologies in grain production: investments in digital solutions and their testing; reduction of production costs; increase in productivity and gross harvest; profit growth; increase in part of equity capital invested in innovative products. The article states that the development of digital technologies in agriculture should take place in three stages, these are: starting, intermediate and final. Attention is drawn to the fact that the subsequent stages of digitalization of grain production and their transition to a new technological order will require the involvement of new resources. This can only be achieved through the joint efforts of representatives of agribusiness, public authorities, scientific and academic organizations and financial institutions. The organizational mechanism proposed by the authors for the innovative development of grain production in the context of the digitalization of agriculture will affect the growth of economic efficiency indicators and accelerate the transition to a new sixth technological mode.
