Published: May 2023

Der Einsatz von körperlichen Übungen in der Rehabilitationsstrategie zur Wiederherstellung der Gesundheit von 50-60 jährigen Frauen mit Thorakalgie hilft das Schmerzsyndrom zu reduzieren, Verspannungen in der Brustwirbelsäule zu lösen, die Durchblutung und die Aktivierung des Atmungssystems zu verbessern. Diese Übungen fordern Kräftigung des Muskelapparates, verbessern die Beweglichkeit der Gelenke, erhöhen der Ausdauer allgemeinen Arbeitsfähigkeit des Körpers von Frauen im Alter von 50 bis 60 Jahren. Es wird angenommen, dass die Ursache von Rückenschmerzen ein orthopädischer Dreiklang ist: Spondyloarthrose (Schäden an den Gelenken der Wirbelsäule). Osteochondrose (Pathologie zwischen den Bandscheiben mit der Bildung von Vorsprüngen und Hernien) und Spondylose (Verschleiss der Wibel, begleitet von Knochenwucherungen aus den Körpern Wirbel). Thorakalgie bedeutet das Vorhandensein eines Schmerzgefühls im Brustbereich der Wirbelsäule, das von einer Verspannung der Rücken und Nackenmuskulatur begleitet wird.

Körperliche Übungen sorgen für die Normalisierung der Gelenkfunktionen und beugen Komplikationen infolge von Gelenkerkrankungen (Osteoporose, Muskel und Knorpelschwund, Kontrakturen)vor. Mehrfache Bewegungesweiderholungen formen das Gelenk, stellen seine Kongruenz und Funktion wider her und erhalten sie, stärken den Bewegungsapparat, unterstützen maximal seine Funktion ,stärken den allgemeinen und lokalen Blut und Lymphzirkulation, den Transport von Nährstoffen durch das Blut und die Ausscheidung von Stoffwechselprodukten Produkte. Die lokale Verbesserung der Trophie hilft, entzündliche Veränderungen, die Resorption von ödematöser Flüssigkeit im Gelenk und den umgebenden Gelenkgeweben, die Beschleunigung ihrer Regeneration und die Hemmung degenerativer Prozesse zu reduzieren. Rehabilitationsmassnahmen haben einen angemessenen Wirkungsbereich. Die Richtung der Rehabilitationsmassnahmen hängt von der Art der Komplikationen und Folgen, der Dauer des Krankheitsverlaufs,der Entwicklung degenerativ dystrophischer Veränderungen der Brustwirbelsäule,Hypodynamie und Stress bei Frauen im Alter von 50 bis 60 Jahren.

Published: May 2023

The level of the motivational values-based attitude of the students of the Ukrainian institution of higher education towards the physical education and the level and dynamics of the students’ (men and women) physical fitness during the 1st and the 2nd years of studying are investigated in the article. In order to be able to observe students and teachers during the study and the dynamics of changes in motivation for classes, a questionnaire was proposed to record changes. This involved increasing the motivation of students to the process of physical improvement. Data on the differentiation of methods of teaching the subject were systematized, ways of individualizing the means and possibilities of increasing the effectiveness of water fitness classes were considered. The aim of the study - to find out the relationship between students' motivation for aquafitness classes and their level of physical fitness. The methods of the research are a theoretical analysis of the scientific and methodological literature, questionnaire survey, pedagogic observation, testing and methods of mathematical statistics. Scientific novelty of the research is defined conditioned by the need to improve the efficiency of the physical education by aquafit methods of the students of the institution of higher education in order to improve their physical fitness, health and the efficiency of their future professional activity. Conclusions: the reasons that do not contribute to a positive attitude towards attending aquafitness classes have been identified, which include: low content and quality of classes, systematic unsuccessful performance by students of the exercises, techniques, and movements provided by students, which leads to students losing self-confidence, questioning the expediency spending their efforts on attending classes in general. The introduction of a differentiated approach to physical exertion during water fitness classes and swimming involves the rational division of students into groups according to initial swimming skills, abilities, psycho-emotional and physical health, and testing of special physical fitness.

Authors: Kharchenko-Baranetckaiia L. , Kostrikova K.
Published: May 2023

The terms "Olympic education" and "Olympism" cover a variety of educational initiatives aimed at children and youth in general secondary education. The article presents a critical analysis of these initiatives, as well as a review of the relevant secondary literature, including a small but significant number of studies that develop a genuine critique of Olympic education and Olympism. The history of the Olympic movement is partially revealed and identified with the development of the educational space surrounding idealistic Olympic education, with an emphasis on the generally undeniable value of Olympism as a key tool in character formation. The program for introducing Olympic values into the educational process of Ukrainian schoolchildren is considered, and the hidden and explicit corporate messages embedded in these materials are identified. The authors looked at the educational program of educational institutions that try to challenge the hegemony of the Olympic industry in educational institutions to study how the pedagogical process works in general secondary education institutions. This is a scientific novelty of our time. Olympic education, combining the ideas of universal values, offers various methods of their realization.

Purpose: to analyze the implementation of an educational program based on the principles of Olympism in the educational space of general secondary education institutions. Conclusions. If Olympic values are reflected in the behavior of primary school children, it can be assumed that the educational process has achieved results, and that the pedagogical process of Olympic education ensures the development of the Olympic movement.

Published: May 2023

The purpose of the study is to find out the change in the tactical indicators of the competitive activity of student teams in 3x3 basketball under the influence of the program for improving tactical preparedness. Research organization. The pedagogical experiment was conducted with the involvement of qualified teams of 3x3 basketball players of the experimental group (n=12) and the control group (n=12). At the beginning of the experiment, we analyzed 64 games for the experimental and control groups with the determination of quantitative and qualitative data of the indicated indicators of competitive activity in 3x3 basketball. At the end of the experiment, 56 games were analyzed for the experimental group and 62 games for the control group according to the indicated indicators of competitive activity. The following indicators were determined: general group (number of points scored per game, total and "net" playing time), adjacent group (total number of rebounds, number of rebounds on the "own" and "alien" boards, the number of ball losses and the number of made and interceptions), shooting group (number of attacks and throws, number of one-point, two-point and free throws, their effectiveness and efficiency), technical-tactical group (number of individual and group tactical actions, their effectiveness and efficiency, number of group tactical actions of different duration with differentiation by the cost of the throw). Research results. At the end of the pedagogical experiment in the control group, there were significant changes in 13 of the 59 indicators that were studied. In the experimental group, probable changes were recorded in 35 out of 59 indicators of competitive activity of qualified teams in 3x3 basketball. These include more points scored, overall attack efficiency, better two-point shooting efficiency, etc. Intergroup differences at the end of the pedagogical experiment were established in 36 out of 59 indicators, namely in the time characteristics of the game, overall efficiency, effectiveness of two-point shots, effectiveness and efficiency of group offensive actions. Conclusions. As a result of the study, it was established that in the experimental group, the indicators of the number of points scored on average per game increased by 1.5 points (p<0.01), the total and "net" time of the game decreased, which indicates an increase in the intensity of the game. In the experimental group, a smaller number of ball pickups on the "alien" shield and the number of ball losses were recorded. According to the results of the pedagogical experiment, a significant decrease in the quantitative performance of individual tactical actions and an increase in the number of group tactical actions in the experimental group were recorded.

Published: May 2023

Study Design: Methodological, observational clinical study.Purpose: This study aimed to develop a virtual screening test to detect scoliosis risk initially by parents without the need for medical visit during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.Overview of Literature: The scoliosis screening program has been implemented to early detect scoliosis. Unfortunately, access to health professionals was limited during the pandemic. However, during this time, interest in telemedicine has increased remarkably. Recently, mobile applications related to postural analysis were developed, but none permits evaluation by parents.Methods: Researchers developed the Scoliosis Tele-Screening Test (STS-Test), which included drawing-based images of body asymmetries, to assess the scoliosis-associated risk factors. The STS-Test was shared on social networks, allowing the parents to evaluate their children. After test completion, the risk score was generated automatically, and children with medium and high risks were then advised for medical consultation for further evaluation. The test accuracy and consistency between the clinician and parents were also analyzed.Results: Of the 865 tested children, 358 (41.4%) consulted clinicians to confirm their STS-Test results. Scoliosis was then confirmed in 91 children (25.4%). The parents were able to detect asymmetry in 50% of the lumbar/thoracolumbar curvatures and 82% of the thoracic curvatures. In addition, the forward bend test revealed favorable agreement between parents and clinicians (r =0.809, p<0.0005). Internal consistency of the esthetic deformities domain in the STS-Test was also excellent (α=0.901). This tool was 94.97% accurate, 83.51% sensitive, and 98.87% specific.Conclusions: The STS-Test is a new parent-friendly, virtual, cost-effective, result-oriented, and reliable tool for scoliosis screening. It allows parents to actively participate in the early detection of scoliosis by screening their children for the risk of scoliosis periodically without the need to visit the health institution.

Authors: Garg Bhavuk , Bansal Tungish , Mehta Nishank , Sharan Alok D.
Published: May 2023

Spine surgery has advanced tremendously over the last decade. The number of spine surgeries performed each year has also been increasing constantly. Unfortunately, the reporting of position-related complications in spine surgery has also been steadily increasing. These complications not only result in significant morbidity for the patient but also raises the risk of litigation for the surgical and anesthetic teams. Fortunately, most position-related complications are avoidable with basic positioning knowledge. Hence, it is critical to be cautious and take all necessary precautions to avoid position-related complications. We discuss the various position-related complications associated with the prone position, which is the most commonly used position in spine surgery, in this narrative review. We also discuss the various methods for avoiding complications. Furthermore, we briefly discuss less commonly used positions in spine surgery, like the lateral and sitting positions.

This article reviews the Contribution of the Philosophy of Science in Scientific Research and Social Life, which is a form of qualitative research and literature study or Philosophy of Science library research. The results of this literature review article show that: (1) History records that philosophy has bridged the change from mythcentric to logocentric, the change from thinking patterns based on myth and superstition to thinking patterns based on science (logos). This change in mindset has proven to have far-reaching implications for civilization. Nature and its phenomena that were previously feared are then studied, researched, and even exploited. From these investigations of natural phenomena, various theories and scientific findings were found that explain the changes and phenomena that occur, both in the universe (macrocosm) and in the human world (microcosm). (2) The influence of knowledge in the course of philosophical life from century to century, from myth, anthropos, and then to theos (theology/dogma) and changed to logos. That is the journey of the philosophy of knowledge to become a philosophy of science which later gave birth to the sciences of astronomy, cosmology, physics, chemistry, and so on. Meanwhile, from the investigation of the human microcosm, the sciences of biology, psychology, sociology, and so on have developed. Over time, these sciences have developed to become more specialized and increasingly produce technologies that have a direct and broad impact on civilization and human life. (3) The philosophy of science itself contributes to scientific inquiry and in human life, especially These sciences then develop into more specialized and increasingly produce technologies that have a direct and broad impact on civilization and human life. (3) The philosophy of science itself contributes to scientific inquiry and in human life, especiallyknowledge in the form of deductive reasoning related to empirical and positivist (qualitative) and inductive reasoning with rationalism, constructivist and critical (qualitative). Although rationally science compiles its knowledge consistently and cumulatively, empirically science separates knowledge that is in accordance with facts and that which is not. Therefore, before being empirically verified, all rational explanations put forward are only hypothetical. (4) In addition, the philosophy of science has also substantially, methodically and relevantly provided a new paradigm in scientific research as well as for human life, namely; Positivism Paradigm, Constructivist Paradigm, and Critical Paradigm. These three paradigms are very important for a researcher who will compose a scientific work, be it a thesis, thesis or dissertation or other scientific paper.

I had to give an introductory course on Christianity to university students in a post-Christian era. How could I surprise or interest them? How could I help them understand? This is the question that has occupied me for years. So, I tried to summarize the Christian faith (creed, sacraments, commandments, prayer) in thirteen words, also with a point of provocation. Not three, not seven, nor twelve: thirteen! And these came to me little by little, as I went on to explain them historically, according to what we call the history of salvation. In the end, my words were: CREATION, BIBLE, COVENANT, FLESH, PERSON, EASTER, CHURCH, GLORY, GRACE, FREEDOM, TRUTH, LOVE, PRAYER.

Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode Penelitian Eksperiman Semu (Quasi Eksperimen Study). Eksperimen adalah suatu cara untuk mencari hubungan sebab akibat (hubungan kausal) anatar dua faktor yang sengaja ditimbulkan oleh peneliti dengan mengeliminasi atau mengurangi atau menyisihkan faktor-fakor lain yang mcngganggu (Arikunto, 2019, hlm. 9). Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan secara sampling yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini diambil secara acak (Ramdom Sampiling). Sampel acak dilakukan dengan cara mencampur subjek-subjek di dalam populasi sehingga semua subjek dianggap sama. Data penelitian ini adalah nilai kemampuan siswa dalam menulis karangan narasi dengan menggunakan strategi pembelajaran ekspositori oleh siswa kelas x SMA Yayasan Pendidikan Mulia Medan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan keterampilan menulis karangan narasi yang signifikan antara kelompok  eksperimen yang menggunakan strategi pembelajaran ekspositori dan kelompok kontrol dengan  menggunakan metode konvensional pada pembelajaran menulis karangan narasi. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran menulis karangan narasi  dengan menggunakan strategi pembelajaran ekspositori pada kelompok eksperimen lebih efektif daripada pembelajaran menulis karangan argumentasi dengan menggunakan metode konvensioanal pada kelompok kontrol.
