Assessment of the psychological barriers level in the training process of Martial Arts and methods of their neutralization
Authors: Ponomarov Viktor , Korchagin Mukola , Kostenko Yurii
Published: June 2024

Psychological barriers in sports activities, as in any socio- professional sphere, are a subjective refraction of a problematic situation from the point of view of its potential threat in the form of a syndrome of fear of the unpredictable result of one's actions in this situation. Two conditions are necessary for the emergence of any psychological barrier: the presence of a suitable (unfavorable) external environment and the subject's internal readiness to form a barrier. There are certain limitations in the ability to overcome psychological barriers depending on their qualitative (type, nature, direction) and quantitative characteristics: height (degree of expressiveness), rigidity (amount of effort applied to overcome them) and inertia (duration of resistance under active influence on the barrier). The adapted version of the test for the psychological barriers’ assessment includes seven subscales corresponding to seven main psychological barriers. Based on the results of the testing, methods of overcoming psychological barriers can be chosen. With regard to psychological barriers, which have different origins and different forms of manifestation in different people, no single method of their elimination can be proposed, different methods will be the most effective for different barriers. The level of psychological barriers can be assessed on the basis of the version of the test for the assessment of psychological barriers adapted to the needs of modern psychology in sports. The test includes seven subscales and allows sports psychologists to approach the selection of appropriate methods for overcoming psychological barriers more purposefully. Methods of neutralizing psychological barriers are a group of methods of influencing the barrier and its related factors with the aim of reducing the negative impact of the barrier without actually eliminating it. These methods are effective primarily in relation to those barriers, the elimination of which is impractical for various reasons, for example, the too high psychophysiological price of such elimination. Overcoming all psychological barriers is overcoming forms of manifestation of the "fear syndrome", which has two sides: "fear of losing the old" and "fear of accepting the new", so each type of barrier can be described depending on the ratio of these two parameters in it.

According to the scientific and methodical literature, functional motor asymmetry of the muscles of the lower extremities can affect the effectiveness of tennis lessons, namely balance and coordination, as well as strength and speed of movements. Therefore, it is important to prevent motor asymmetry during training sessions. For this purpose, we developed a technology for the prevention of functional motor asymmetry in children of primary school age. Goal – to determine the dynamics of the dynamic balance of the lower limbs of children of primary school age under the influence of technology for the prevention of functional motor asymmetry of muscles. Methods. Analysis of scientific and methodical literature, Internet sources; pedagogical testing of dynamic balance of children of primary school age using the "Y-test" balance test; methods of mathematical statistics. After analyzing the data obtained during the execution of the "Y-test", it can be concluded that there are no manifestations of functional motor asymmetry of the lower limbs due to the absence of statistically significant differences between the left and right limbs, which proves the gradual formation of this asymmetry at later stages.

Introduction. The current socio-political system of Ukraine has led to significant changes in the youth's desire for development and improvement, in particular physical. The problem of the low level of physical fitness of students needs an urgent solution. Great opportunities for solving this problem are provided by means of physical education and sports. Therefore, it is important to involve students in sports games. Positive emotions during such classes effectively affect the student's work capacity and functional state. The goal is to highlight the ways to optimize the physical culture and sports activities of students in the conditions of a higher educational institution. Research results. One of the most effective means for fulfilling the tasks of strengthening health, improving the level of physical development and physical fitness of student youth is sports activities, in particular sports games. In the higher education institutions of Ukraine, in particular, in the Volyn National University named after Lesya Ukrainka, there are sections on various types of sports, in which students of all courses of study have the opportunity to practice. The stages of formation of students' physical culture and sports activity are outlined. It is noted that such games as basketball, volleyball, handball, football are quite popular among student youth. The impact of these games on the physical and mental training of students is revealed. A variety of motor skills and actions in these games contribute to the development of strength, speed, dexterity, endurance, jumping. The physical and spiritual needs of students are satisfied in the sports game, and the mind and willpower are formed in it. The need not only for the formation of physical readiness of future specialists, but also for improving their health and working capacity has become acute. Conclusions. Physical culture and sports in the educational process of education seekers act as a means of social formation of future specialists, active development of their individual and professional qualities.

Power sports, namely athletic gymnastics, weightlifting are among the most popular among students. The basis of strength development is exercises with weight loads. In addition to the aesthetic effect, strength sports have a positive effect on the body: they develop strength and endurance; strengthen joints, ligaments; tone muscles; improve blood circulation; form the correct posture.
Most of the problems associated with strength sports are related to incorrect exercise technique, overloading, neglecting the recommendations of specialists, and steroid abuse. Also, among beginners and experienced athletes, there are quite a few who want to get a sculpted body without much effort. Therefore, doping is the number one problem in these sports disciplines.
Many girls and women do strength exercises and take part in competitions. The female body is different from the male body and requires a special approach in these sports.
Sport for women is one of the main and effective ways to strengthen health, achieve physical perfection, prepare for motherhood and raise children, and for highly productive work.
Systematic physical education and sports have a positive effect on a woman's body in all periods of her life. Raising children and work do not prevent female athletes from successfully training, winning sports, and setting records. Women who have long-term sports training maintain their capacity for work for a long time, have a good figure and look young.

The article presents a study of the impact of physical exercises and team sports games on the development of psychological resilience in children aged 9-11 and adolescents aged 12-14. Psychological resilience is an important factor for the successful development of a personality, helping children and adolescents to cope with difficulties, maintain emotional stability, develop social skills and adapt to new conditions.
Two groups of children were selected for the study: the first group included 50 children aged 9-11, and the second group included 50 teenagers aged 12-14. The study was conducted in four stages: baseline assessment, intervention, final assessment, and analysis of results.
Assessment methods included standardized questionnaires (Emotional Stability Scale (ESS), Self-Confidence Scale (SCS), Social Skills Scale (SSS), and Adaptive Capacity Scale (ACS)), interviews with children, and observation. The baseline assessment allowed us to determine the initial level of psychological resilience of each child.
The intervention lasted for 8 weeks and included daily exercise sessions lasting 30 minutes and twice-weekly training and competitions in team sports (football, basketball, and volleyball). At the end of the intervention, a final assessment was conducted to determine changes in psychological resilience.
The results of the study showed a significant improvement in all criteria of psychological resilience in both groups. In children aged 9-11, emotional stability increased by 20%, self-confidence by 20%, social skills by 20%, and adaptability by 20%. In adolescents aged 12-14, the improvements were even more pronounced: emotional stability increased by 23%, self-confidence by 22%, social skills by 22%, and adaptability by 23%.
The analysis of the results confirmed that physical exercises and team sports games contribute to a significant improvement in psychological resilience in children and adolescents. In particular, children became more emotionally stable, more confident, developed their social skills and increased their ability to adapt. These changes are important for their further development and successful socialization.

Strategic insights into penalty kick execution: A comprehensive analysis of observable behaviors in the German Bundesliga
Authors: Pinheiro Guilherme , Feber Pascal
Published: June 2024

This study aimed to investigate which observable variables would be able to predict the penalty taker strategy; and to identify the prevalence of the penalty taker strategy in successful penalty kicks. Dataset consists of 220 penalty kicks from the German Bundesliga (2019-2021). Video-based performance analysis of in-match penalty kicks was performed. Chi-squared (χ2) test and logistic regression (enter method) analyses were performed to investigate the relationship between observable behaviors and the penalty-taker strategy. The following behavior: gaze behavior at the ball, no deception, number of steps more than 3, perceived ball speed as powerful shot, run up speed fast, penalty kick shot height at the center or down, kicking technique instep kick, and run up approach frontal was related to the goalkeeper independent strategy (χ2 (177) = 211.049, 96%, p < .001). In successful penalty kicks the independent goalkeeper strategy was more adopted (59.87%). The differentiation between penalty kick patterns provides scientific and practical insights as it enables researchers to identify patterns in the German Bundesliga. Through analysis of the kicker's running pattern, deception actions, gaze behavior, and kicking technique, football practitioners may attempt to determine the kicker's favored approach, and ultimately the penalty kick strategy, so they can inform coaching staff and players.

The article deals with the concept of shame as an integral part of the Kazakh culture and mentality. It embeds in the upbringing of a child and covers the whole life of the representatives of the Kazakh language and culture. The study is aimed at exploring the concept verbally represented by the lexeme “ұят” (shame) in the linguistic culture of the Kazakh nation. Mixed methods research combining lexicographic analysis, semantic and cognitive analysis, and a psycholinguistic experiment was conducted to determine the meaning, content of the concept of shame in the Kazakh language and its impact on daily life and culture of the nation. The participants of a free associative experiment, administered via Google Forms, included 63 representatives of the Kazakh language and culture (19 male, 44 female) aged 17-45 years. The participants of the experiment were asked to provide associations (words that came to their mind as reactions) to the stimulus word “ұят” (shame). The number of associations was not limited. The experimental data were quantitively analyzed and further categorized for modelling the associative field of the concept under study. The results of the study demonstrate how extensive and diverse the concept of shame in the Kazakh linguistic picture of the world is.
ECONOMIC DAMAGE FROM THE DESTRUCTION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE MONUMENTS OF UKRAINE

Published: June 2024

In world history, aggressors have often attacked objects of valuable architectural heritage, believing that such destruction would demoralize the people of the target nation and irreversibly shake the foundations of a marginalized culture. Architectural buildings that were.
Since the beginning of the large-scale invasion, the sphere of culture, in particular, historical heritage, has suffered the most. For any country, culture is the basis of self-determination of every citizen. The destruction of cultural objects such as museums, historical buildings, monuments and works of art of eminent people is a huge loss.
Since the beginning of Russia's military aggression, 348 places of worship, 705 cultural centers/palaces of culture, 82 museums, 157 hotels/restaurants and 8 sports stadiums have been destroyed. Damaged objects, according to documented losses, are mainly located in 14 regions of the country: Dnipro, Donetsk, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Luhansk, Lviv, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, Chernihiv and Kyiv.
As of June, the share of damage to the infrastructure of culture, religion and tourism amounted to 2.4 billion dollars. In total, no less than 1,804 cultural objects, 348 religious buildings, 343 sports facilities, and 164 tourism objects were damaged or destroyed since the beginning of the war.
The assessment of damaged or destroyed cultural values is complicated by the difficulty of indirect assessment of the value and value of the interior decoration of religious and other cultural institutions, art objects, decorations, exhibits, icons, frescoes, etc. contained in buildings. Accordingly, the value of damaged objects of cultural value may be changed in accordance with the establishment of the possibility of restoration of these objects and its cost.
Total losses in culture, tourism and sports as amounted to $10.8 billion, of which culture and sports accounted for $6.4 billion and tourism for $4.4 billion

Published: June 2024

Anatomical-morphological features of the postcranial skeleton of nine taxa of the rock lizards of the genus Darevskia Arribas, 1999 belonging to the Darevskia (caucasica) and Darevskia (saxicola) complexes were studied for the first time on representative samples. Specimens with the rib formula 3+1 were found in both complexes (previously, only two variants were known for the genus Darevskia 3+2 and 3+3). Differences between supraspecific groups and their members were described with the use of type specimens or topotypes of each taxon. The studied complexes are differentiated by the range of variability of presacral vertebrae (in the D. (caucasica) their minimum number is 26, in the D. (saxicola) – 27), the number of the posterior presacral vertebrae with ribs (the average value of this trait in the D. (caucasica) is less than 6, in D. (saxicola) – more than 6). B-type of the tail vertebrae in 5 times more common in the D. (saxicola) than in the D. (caucasica). In turn, the latter group is characterized by a larger share of individuals with ossified ribs at the third cervical vertebra and a greater variability of the sternal-xiphisternal costal (rib) formula. Skeletal morphology of D. alpina indicates its greater similarity with representatives of the D. (caucasica) complex. A certain originality of D. c. vedenica was recorded. The study of D. saxicola specimens from the zone of sympatry with D. c. caucasica (Chegem Gorge) did not reveal their similarity with the latter, except for the presence of two variants of the sternal-xiphisternal formula. Cryptic forms within D. lindholmi differ at least in two traits: the minimum number of posterior presacral vertebrae with short ribs and the presence of individuals with caudal vertebrae of B-type.

Study Design: Retrospective study.Purpose: To compare and correlate technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate uptake between benign and metastatic bone lesions using semiquantitative analysis of maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) and mean Hounsfield unit (HU) in single-photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography (SPECT-CT).Overview of Literature: Qualitative interpretation of metastatic bone lesions in breast cancer on bone scintigraphy is often complicated by coexisting benign lesions.Methods: In total, 185 lesions were identified on bone and SPECT-CT scans from 32 patients. Lesions were classified as metastatic (109 sclerotic lesions) and benign (76 lesions) morphologically on low-dose CT. Semiquantitative analysis using SUVmax and mean HU was performed on the lesions and compared. To discriminate benign and metastatic lesions, the correlation between SUVmax and mean HU was determined using the intraclass correlation coefficients.Results: The SUVmax was higher in metastatic lesions (20.66±14.36) but lower in benign lesions (10.18±12.79) (p<0.001). The mean HU was lower in metastatic lesions (166.62±202.02) but higher in benign lesions (517.65±192.8) (p<0.001). A weak negative correlation was found between the SUVmax and the mean HU for benign lesions, and a weak positive correlation was noted between the SUVmax and the mean HU on malignant lesions with no statistical significance (p=0.394 and 0.312, respectively). The cutoff values obtained were 10.8 for SUVmax (82.6% sensitivity and 84.2% specificity) and 240.86 for the mean HU (98.7% sensitivity and 88.1% specificity) in differentiating benign from malignant bone lesions.Conclusions: Semiquantitative assessment using SUVmax and HU can complement qualitative analysis. Metastatic lesions had higher SUVmax but lower mean HU than benign lesions, whereas benign lesions demonstrated higher mean HU but lower SUVmax. A weak correlation was found between the SUVmax and the mean HU on malignant and benign lesions. Cutoff values of 10.8 for the SUVmax and 240.86 for the mean HU may differentiate bone metastases from benign lesions.
JOURNEYS THROUGH FASCISM
Authors: Burdett Charles
Published: June 2024

During the twenty years of Mussolini’s rule a huge number of travel texts were written of journeys made during the interwar period to the sacred sites of Fascist Italy, Mussolini’s newly conquered African empire, Spain during the Civil War, Nazi Germany, Communist Russia and the America of the New Deal. Examining these observations by writers and journalists, the author throws new light on the evolving ideology of Fascism, how it was experienced and propagated by prominent figures of the time; how the regime created a utopian vision of the Roman past and the imperial future; and how it interpreted the attractions and dangers of other totalitarian cultures. The book helps gain a better understanding of the evolving concepts of imperialism, which were at the heart of Italian Fascism, and thus shows that travel writing can offer an important contribution to historical analysis.
WHERE THERE IS NO MIDWIFE
Authors: Pinto Sarah
Published: June 2024

In the Sitapurdistrict of Uttar Pradesh, an agricultural region with high rates of infant mortality, maternal health services are poor while family planning efforts are intensive. By following the daily lives of women in this setting, the author considers the women’s own experiences of birth and infant death, their ways of making-do, and the hierarchies they create and contend with. This book develops an approach to the care that focuses on emotion, domestic spaces, illicit and extra-institutional biomedicine, and household and neighborly relations that these women are able to access. It shows that, as part of the concatenation of affect and access, globalized moralities about reproduction are dependent on ambiguous ideas about caste. Through the unfolding of birth and death, a new vision of "untouchability" emerges that is integral to visions of progress.
DANCING AT THE CROSSROADS

Dancing at the crossroads used to be young people's opportunity to meet and enjoy themselves on mild summer evenings in the countryside in Ireland until this practice was banned by law, the Public Dance Halls Act in 1935. Now a key metaphor in Irish cultural and political life, "dancing at the crossroads" also crystallizes the argument of this book: Irish dance, from Riverdance (the commercial show) and competitive dancing to dance theatre, conveys that Ireland is to be found in a crossroads situation with a firm base in a distinctly Irish tradition which is also becoming a prominent part of European modernity.
Resource testing of modified plain bearings for the aviation industry

Published: June 2024

The resource tests of plain bearings with metal-polymer tribo-systems developed for the aviation industry are presented. The purpose of the work is to determine the wear resistance of modern anti-friction polymer materials in plain bearings in comparison with metal fluoroplastic tape. The uniqueness of the tests lies in the use of a combination of high-performance polymer materials in a pair with chromium and molybdenum coating during the reversible movements of plain bearings. Since the use of such bearings is mass in nature, the use of titanium materials in the manufacture of bearing cages will allow to significantly reduce the weight of the aircraft and increase its efficiency. It was determined that a plain bearing with a polymer material of carbon and polyamide fibers and PTFE with functional additives shows a wear resistance 1.8-2 times greater on the segment of 40-100 thousand cycles than bearings with other materials during laboratory resource tests. Also, industrial tests have established that after 2 million cycles, a hinged bearing with a metal-polymer tape shows a result that is 1.2-1.5 times lower in wear resistance than polymer materials, but all these results are within the tolerances of normal bearing operation. Industrial tests have proven that at replacing the inner ring of a plain sliding bearing with a titanium alloy with a molybdenum coating, the wear resistance is almost the same or slightly lower than when the polymer rubs against steel. Technological recommendations have been developed and a new design and materials of plain sliding bearings with polymer anti-friction coatings for the aviation industry have been proposed. The implementation of technological recommendations in the production of bearings will allow to move away from the universality of the use of plain bearings and extend their wear resistance and durability in general due to the use of the full thickness of the polymer material and the development of bearings with predicted characteristics for a specific task.
Methodology and results of the study of physical, mechanical and tribological characteristics of nitrided inner surfaces of long holes

Created control device physico-chemical and tribological characteristics of nitrided internal surfaces of long holes, which is a hollow pipe with radial holes made at a certain distance from its ends to ensure the ratio of the height of the center of the sample to the internal diameter of the pipe from 0 to 10 or more, which differs in that the height of the samples simulates the depth of the longitudinal holes, and the samples themselves to facilitate their fixation and to ensure the absence of electric spark discharge near the ends, they are installed with a certain tension. At the same time, the length of the cylindrical sample is equal to the thickness of the pipe wall.Thus, each sample is nitrided from two ends, which makes it possible to nitride from the outside and from the middle of the model at almost the same temperature, as well as to compare the results of nitriding of two surfaces (external and internal). At the same time, the difference in conditions is only in the location of these surfaces - external or internal. All other factors that could affect the results of the modification are practically identical. However, nitriding in a glow discharge with a constant current supply does not ensure the treatment of the inner surface uniformly throughout the entire depth, and with significant ratios of length to diameter (more than 4), the inner surface of the hole remote from the ends is practically not nitrided. Therefore, a process technology and a device for quality control of anhydrous nitriding in glow discharge (BATR) of long holes with cyclically switched power supply of the gas discharge chamber have been developed.

The paper provides an overview of modern research on the following issues: analysis of operating conditions and malfunctions of the valve mechanism of the internal combustion engine, research on friction and wear of valve mechanism parts, repair and restoration technologies, increasing the wear resistance of engine valves, modeling, calculations of valve mechanism parts. It is shown that an important aspect for the analysis of the wear resistance of valve mechanism parts is the operating conditions and the nature of damage to the surfaces of the friction pair parts. The existing hypotheses about the mechanisms of friction, lubrication and wear of valve mechanism parts are considered, the designs of test stands are given, and the results of tribological tests are analyzed. It is substantiated that the technological methods of surface engineering are becoming an increasingly viable alternative to structural changes to improve the performance of valve mechanism parts. An overview of calculation methods for assessing the stress and thermal state of valve mechanism parts of internal combustion engines is provided.

The electrical contact insert of the current-carrying suspension of the electric vehicle belongs to the fast-wearing elements that require frequent replacement and attention to ensure standard performance. The purpose of this study was to develop a technology for manufacturing graphite-filled electrical contact inserts from waste materials and by modifying the composition of the composite. As a result of difficult operating conditions, coal current collector inserts of electric transport are subject to considerable wear. The causes of increased wear are electrocorrosion in contact with the conductor under current, abrasive wear from sliding on the wire with increased dustiness and air humidity. The technological process of manufacturing graphite current-collecting inserts from used graphite components is proposed. To prove the functionality of the restored current-collecting inserts, the strength, electrical conductivity and tribological characteristics of the material were tested. The results of experimental tests showed a slight decrease in material hardness and an increase in electrical resistance within acceptable limits. Bench wear tests showed improved tribological properties of the restorative insert material with the addition of copper powder.

The paper presents the results of the development of new composite materials based on aromatic polyamide phenylon, filled with dispersed boron carbide and clad with PKHN-15 alloy. The influence of the percentage content of the filler on the abrasion rate under the conditions of friction with rigidly fixed abrasive particles was studied. It is shown that the degree of filling determines the rate of abrasive wear of composites, which reaches a minimum at a filler content of 25 wt.%. The introduction of boron carbide clad with the PKHN-15 alloy leads to a decrease in the abrasion rate of the aromatic polyamide phenylon by 6.2-9 times, which correlates with the strength indicators. The roughness of the composites is almost at the same level, from which we can conclude that the amount of filler affects their wear mechanism. An increase in microhardness at the boundary of the "polymer-filler" separation was noted, which may indicate the presence of interaction between the polymer and the filler. It is shown that the abrasive wear rate for composites containing 10-15 wt.% filler is more stable than for composites with a larger amount of filler. Developed composites are recommended for work in friction units operating in abrasive conditions, or as working bodies of grain harvesting machines and mechanisms that are in constant contact with grain which acts as an abrasive for working surfaces.
