Efforts to Extend the Human Lifespan: Separating Fact from Fiction
Authors: Driver Jane A.
Published: July 2022

After retirement, older people often find themselves far from their children and grandchildren, and many spend their last years isolated and alone. As traditional concepts of family and social institutions fragment, social networks weaken, leading to an epidemic of loneliness, and substance abuse and suicide in developed countries. In fact, life expectancy in the US has dropped for the past few years, in large part due to a dramatic increase in suicide and drug overdose (ref). None of these social problems is likely to be solved by metformin. They point to a crisis of identity and meaning, an existential crisis. In this context, one might wonder if we are already seeing the effects of tinkering with our lifespan. There are many more conclusions one could draw about the implications of longevity, many of which have been elegantly described in Beyond Therapy: Biotechnology and the Pursuit of Happiness, published by the President’s Council on Bioethics, which I used as a reference for this talk. I hope I have been successful in providing a 10,000-foot view of the questions of efforts to extend human longevity and its implications that will provoke thought and discussion. I would like to end these reflections by turning back to my favorite transhumans. The reason we love superheroes is not for their superior strength or intelligence, but their characters. They use their powers to protect and serve humanity rather than dominate or annihilate it. It is not their gadgetry that makes them great, but how they use it to save the vulnerable. Even as a small child I knew that if everyone acted the way they did, the world would be a better place. The moral of every story was that the “enhancement” humanity needed would not come as the fruit of technology, but of virtue.
Una idea-guía liberadora
Authors: San Miguel de Pablos José Luis
Published: July 2022

La crisis multidimensional por la que atraviesa actualmente la humanidad coloca en primer plano la cuestión, más que de «la salida de la crisis», de la superación de los condicionamientos negativos que han conducido a ella. Más allá de las causas próximas reconocibles (el egoísmo individualista, la codicia de los banqueros y brokers, el capitalismo neoliberal...) se hallan las apuestas paradigmáticas, la Weltanschauung dominante que inspira las conductas erróneas. En el artículo se sostiene que a la metafísica materialista —que el autor distingue del ateísmo—, en tanto que idea-guía principal de la modernidad, corresponde gran parte de la responsabilidad por las patologías de la sociedad actual, a cuyo clímax estamos asistiendo.

Se asume que el mundo ha experimentado tales transformaciones que ninguna de las concepciones metafísicas o criptometafísicas a las que estamos acostumbrados sirve para fundamentar una guía de actuación capaz de sacarnos del atolladero. Y se propone una idea de fondo que se estima que sí podría hacerlo: un noocentrismo, la consideración de la consciencia como la realidad fundamental y, por supuesto, referencial. Un neoespiritualismo, si se quiere, capaz de fundamentar una Ética universal, y orientado a la liberación individual y colectiva del ser humano, en armonía con una Naturaleza entendida como de igual importancia, y dejando atrás el espejismo pseudocientífico —y en realidad sojuzgador y bloqueante— del materialismo metafísico.
Religious knowledge in the light of Kuhn’s and Lakatos’ methodological conceptions
Authors: Karaba Miroslav
Published: July 2022

The article based on Kuhn’s paradigmatic approach and Lakatos’ methodology of scientific research programmes, analyses certain aspects of selected cognitive functions of religous beliefs. Our approach is based on the search for angalogy between scientific theories on one hand and systems of religious beliefs on the other hand. Contemporary philosophy of science demonstrates that scientific models are the products of creative analogous immagination, data are theory-laden, theories as a whole are resistent to falsification and it is hard (if at all) to find reliable criterions for the selection of a paradigm. These «subjective features» are more evident within religion, since a wider range of models, greater impact of interpretations on data, greater arduousness in regard to the commitment to a paradigm and more ambiguity in the process of the selection of a paradigm, exist in this area. However, with each of these features, I see the difference between science and religion in their degree and not in absolute contrast.
Lenguaje y realidad: el análisis lógico en Russell, Wittgenstein y Carnap
Authors: Cadavid Ramírez Lina Marcela , Ríos Restrepo Leidy Andrea
Published: July 2022

Este artículo traza una relación entre tres de los autores más influyentes de la doctrina del atomismo lógico a partir de la noción de análisis lógico, sin embargo, dicha relación busca no solo la constatación de su cercanía doctrinal sino la concepción ontológica que subyace a la posibilidad de dicho análisis, para el caso de Russell y Wittgenstein, o su ausencia, para el caso de Carnap, lo cual, no obstante, no aleja a este de preocupaciones de carácter metafísico, ya que en los tres autores la relación entre lenguaje y mundo, ya sea desde la dimensión ontológica o epistemológica, comporta una reflexión de primer orden. Para exponer lo anterior se recurre a dilucidar la relación entre nombres propios y hechos (Russell), objetos simples y estado de cosas (Wittgenstein) y la postura de la Ciencia Unificada (Carnap) con respecto a la representación de hechos o cosas.
The devalued, demoralized and disappearing teacher: The nature and effects of datafication and performativity in schools
Authors: Daliri-Ngametua Rafaan , Hardy Ian
Published: July 2022

In this article, we highlight the specificity of teachers’ practices in an era of increased attention to reified measures of data as evidence of student learning. Drawing upon Kemmis et al.’s (2014) notion of educational practice as characterized by specific ‘sayings,’ ‘doings’ and ‘relatings,’ under particular ‘cultural-discursive,’ ‘material-economic’ and ‘socio-political’ conditions, we analyze teachers’ work practices in two public schools in south-east Queensland. We reveal granular details about how teachers’ engagement with reified forms of student evaluation data under broader neoliberal policy conditions influenced their personal and professional identity as teachers. We argue that engagement with such data processes under these conditions leads to not only their demoralization but also the devaluing of teachers’ work, and ultimately, what we claim to be the very ‘disappearance’ of the teacher – the expunging of relational, educative interactions that enable genuine student engagement and learning. The consequence is an eviscerated form of schooling that may jeopardize students’ long-term academic and social development.
Between old and new unionism: Race, professionalism, and resistance in a district of market reforms
Authors: Kurtz Erin , White Terrenda
Published: July 2022

This article centers a group of teachers who participated in a multi-day strike and a statewide walkout in Colorado. We examine whether their experience with contention signaled important shifts in views of market-based educational policies, teacher professionalism and the role of unions. Qualitative methods and critical theories of educational policy guided the research design and analysis of data. Findings include divergent experiences with contention among teachers, shaped by race and racism, and enduring ideas of professionalism tied to hierarchies of class and gender. These tensions complicated coherent interpretations and critiques of market policies and strained solidarity for sustained resistance. We discuss the implications of findings for efforts to shift traditional teacher unions toward expansive ideas of professionalism premised on anti-racism, collective action, and social justice for and with communities of color.

Common Errors Identification in Pronouncing Silent Letters in English Words by EFL Novices
Authors: Al-Hamzi Ali Mohammed Saleh , Musyahda Lilla
Published: July 2022

In English, the sound system is somewhat distinct from Arabic. Yemeni Novices have many difficulties pronouncing English terms owing to this. For example, we often hear English learners pronounce "sight [sait]" with "[saig]" or "know,” [nəʊ]" with "[knəʊ]." This study is concerned with identifying widespread errors in the pronunciation of silent letters in English words among Yemeni EFL learners. Qualitative descriptive study was used in this investigation as a methodology. With the aid of purposive sampling techniques, a sample of 5 EFL novices was selected from 1st level of the English Department, Faculty of Education, Sana'a University, Yemen, which was classified into a group of novice high-level learners (beginners). Analytically descriptive method was used to analyze the data after they were collected through test. The result of this study showed that in pronouncing words containing the silent letters like b, c, d, g, gh, h, k, l, m, n, p, s, t, th, and w, the researcher finds errors made by the EFL novices. He analyzes three positions of the silent letters in the words (initial, medial, and final position) and by understanding this; it would be possible to develop useful instructional materials and teaching strategies to target this issue.

Sektor perikanan Indonesia memegang peranan penting untuk menunjang perekonomian Indonesia. Salah satunya sektor ikan hias seperti ikan Koi. Cuaca yang tidak mendukung dapat mengurangi kualitas ikan Koi itu sendiri. Maka dari itu, penulis merancang sistem kontrol dan monitoring kualitas air kolam ikan Koi berbasis Internet of Things (IoT) menggunakan web server Thingspeak. Metode kontrol yang digunakan pada sistem control suhu adalah PI-Gain Scheduling dan kontrol ON-OFF pada sistem kontrol oksigen terlarut. Kontrol PI-Gain Scheduling pada sistem kontrol suhu mengendalikan tegangan pada pemanas air 100W dengan tiga tingkat penjadwalan, yaitu e > 3; 1,5 < e ≤ 3, dan 0 < e ≤ 1,5. Metode tuning parameter yang digunakan pada sistem kontrol suhu adalah metode Ziegler-Nichols II. Kontrol ON-OFF pada sistem kontrol DO (dissolved oxygen) mengendalikan aerator 12W. Dari hasil pengujian yang telah dilakukan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa suhu air dan tingkat DO dapat terjaga dengan cukup optimal sesuai setpoint yang ditentukan. Pada perbandingan metode sistem kontrol suhu, dapat disimpulkan bahwa metode kontrol PI-Gain Scheduling lebih optimal dibandingkan dengan metode PI-C (Conventional). Diharapkan dengan adanya sistem kontrol dan monitoring ini dapat membantu meningkatkan kualitas air pada kolam ikan Koi.

Critical clearing time (CCT) sangat penting terhadap kestabilan sistem kelitrikan akibat adanya gangguan. Sistem kelistrikan akan stabil apabila gangguan dihilangkan dibawah nilai waktu pemutussan kritisnya dan sebaliknya sistem tidak stabil. Nilai CCT diperoleh dengan metode kriteria luas sama dan time domain simulation (TDS) pada software ETAP. Nilai CCT dengan metode kriteria luas tidak mempertimbangkan adanya respon governor dan AVR.  Sedangkan dengan metode trial error menggunakan TDS lebih akurat karena mempertimbangkan respon governor dan AVR dengan cara mengamati respon sudut rotor dalam range stabil dan tidak stabil pada waktu tertentu. Selain menentukan nilai CCT dalam studi penyabungan perlu dilakukan analisis kondisi sistem kelistrikan PLN apabila PLTM Kambangan tersambung dengan jala-jala. Analisis kinerja generator dengan mempertimbangkan AVR dan Governor. Kestabilan transien dengan mengamati respon sudut rotor, frekuensi dan tegangan pada pembangkit PLTM Kambangan.

İşgücüne katılma, ücret ve gelir, istihdam yapısı, eğitim düzeyi ve siyasete katılım gibi pek çok sosyo-ekonomik göstergede ortaya çıkan farklılıklar cinsiyet ayrımcılığıyla ilişkilidir. Son yıllarda eğitim düzeyindeki artışın kadınların istihdam yapısına olumlu yansımasıyla çevresel sorunlara duyarlılığı etkilemesi mümkündür. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de eğitim harcamaları, kadın istihdamı, erkek istihdamı, yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi ve CO2 emisyonu arasındaki ilişki ampirik olarak incelenmiştir. Bu ilişkinin araştırılmasında birim kök testi, Johansen eşbütünleşme, FMOLS tahmincisi ve Granger nedensellik yöntemlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Johansen eşbütünleşme testi sonuçları analizde yer alan değişkenler arasında uzun dönem ilişkisini göstermiştir. FMOLS tahmincisine göre kadın istihdamı CO2 emisyonunu negatif ve anlamlı etkilerken, erkek istihdamı CO2 emisyonunu pozitif ve anlamlı etkilemiştir. Dolayısıyla, Türkiye’de kadın istihdamındaki artışın uzun dönemde CO2 emisyonunun azaltılmasına yardımcı olması beklenebilir. Ayrıca eğitim harcamaları ve yenilenebilir enerji tüketiminden CO2 emisyonuna tek yönlü nedensellik ve kadın istihdamı, erkek istihdamı ve CO2 emisyonu arasında çift yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi bulunmuştur. Bu bulgular ışığında, eğitim harcamaları bir taraftan kadınların eğitim düzeyinin artırılmasına diğer taraftan teknolojik yeniliklerle birlikte yenilenebilir enerjiyi destekleyebilir ve çevre kirliliğinin azaltılmasına katkı sunabilir.

This study investigated body composition measures in highly trained and untrained individuals using whole‐body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Additionally, correlations between these measures and skeletal muscle gene expression were performed. Thirty‐six individuals were included: endurance‐trained males (ME, n = 8) and females (FE, n = 7), strength‐trained males (MS, n = 7), and untrained control males (MC, n = 8) and females (FC, n = 6). MRI scans were performed, and resting M. vastus lateralis (VL) biopsies were subjected to RNA sequencing. Liver fat fraction, visceral adipose tissue volume (VAT), total body fat, and total lean tissue were measured from MRI data. Additionally, cross‐sectional area (CSA) and fat signal fraction (FSF) were calculated from Mm. pectoralis, M. erector spinae and M. multifidus combined, Mm. quadriceps, and Mm. triceps surae (TS). Liver fat fraction, VAT, and total body fat relative to body weight were lower in ME and FE compared with corresponding controls. MS had a larger CSA across all four muscle groups and lower FSF in all muscles apart from TS compared with MC. ME had a lower FSF across all muscle groups and a larger CSA in all muscles except TS than MC. FE athletes showed a higher CSA in Mm. pectoralis and Mm. quadriceps and a lower CSA in TS than FC with no CSA differences found in the back muscles investigated. Surprisingly, the only difference in FSF between FE and FC was found in Mm. pectoralis. Lastly, correlations between VL gene expression and VL CSA as well as FSF showed that genes positively correlated with CSA revealed an enrichment of the oxidative phosphorylation and thermogenesis pathways, while the genes positively correlated with FSF showed significant enrichment of the spliceosome pathway. Although limited differences were found with training in females, our study suggests that both regular endurance and resistance training are useful in maintaining muscle mass, reducing adipose tissue deposits, and reducing muscle fat content in males.
The mundanity of translanguaging and Aboriginal identity in Australia
Authors: Tankosić Ana , Dovchin Sender , Oliver Rhonda , Exell Mike
Published: July 2022

Drawing on ethnographic interview analysis of Aboriginal participants in Australia, this study seeks to expand the critical discussions in Applied Linguistics by understanding the concept of translanguaging in relation to its “mundanity” (or ordinariness). Our data shows that rather than perceiving translanguaging as extraordinary, for Aboriginal speakers it is more likely to be considered normal, unremarkable, mundane, and as a long-existing phenomenon. The concept of the mundanity of translanguaging is thereby expanded through three main discussions in this article: 1) negotiating identity and resisting racism, where the Aboriginal speakers choose to translanguage using their full linguistic repertoires, but with appropriate communicative adjustments made for their interlocutor; 2) a display of respect towards their land, heritage and language; and 3) as an inherent and mundane everyday practice where they constantly negotiate between heritage languages, English, Kriol, and Aboriginal English varieties. The significance of this study lies in the normalisation of translanguaging as a mundane disinvention strategy, as this urges us to perceive linguistic separateness as a colonial ideological construct that is used to exhibit control over diverse peoples and to maintain uniformity and stability of nation-states.
Gain enhancement of a SIW H-plane horn antenna using of metamaterial array
Authors: Karami-Raviz Afsaneh , Mohajeri Farzad
Published: July 2022

In this paper, a novel, compact and high gain H-plane horn antenna with Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) technology is examined for X-band applications. To increase the gain, an array of metamaterials is used by cutting the gap in the aperture area of the antenna in high metallization. After examining the size and position of the metamaterial unit cell and several array elements, which act as a focusing structure, and in addition, by reducing the electric permittivity coefficient of the substrate and consequently reducing the losses, an increase in gain is achieved. The performance of the proposed SIW horn antenna with metamaterials has been compared with the SIW conventional horn antenna without metamaterials. To highlight this point, the proposed antenna was designed with CST software. Then, it was fabricated and measured. Measurements show that the gain of the modified antenna is 9.2 dBi, which is 6.2 dBi higher than a conventional antenna.
Multiple Drive Shaft Fractures in Lift Oil Pumps
Authors: Neidel A. , Giller M. , Gädicke T.
Published: July 2022

Several high-pressure lift oil pump failures were reported from the field. These assemblies are used to inject lubrication oil into the sliding bearings of heavy rotating turbomachinery equipment, such as steam and gas turbine rotors, often weighing in excess of a hundred tons. This ensures that the rotor shaft “floats” on a lube oil film even at low rotational speeds, when hydro-dynamic lubrication conditions have not yet been fully established. A fractured spline shaft, which was the driven shaft of one of the failed pumps, was received from the client for the determination of the metallurgical root cause of failure. The subject spline shaft failed due to torsional overload. This cracked the hardened case and initiated high cycle fatigue (HCF) cracking as secondary damage. The main fatigue cracks were nucleated at overload fractures in the hardened case, in the fillet radii at the base of the teeth of the spline shaft. No evidence of any material defects that could have contributed to the failure or could even have been causative for it was found.

The consequences of medication errors are more severe for high-alert medications than general drugs. Improving pharmacists’ knowledge regarding high-alert medications is important to increase drug safety and maintain patient health. This study was aimed at understanding Chinese hospital pharmacists’ knowledge regarding high-alert medications and exploring associated factors, to provide suggestions for management of high-alert medications. A total of 380 pharmacists from four hospitals in southern, northern and central China were selected through a convenience sampling method. Through a questionnaire survey, the pharmacists’ demographic sociology characteristics and knowledge regarding high-alert medications were investigated. Chi-square tests and binary logistic regression were used to analyze the factors associated with pharmacists’ knowledge regarding high-alert medications. A total of 336 valid questionnaires were returned, with an effective recovery rate of 88.4%. Among the respondents, 79.2% had high knowledge regarding high-alert medications. The analysis results show that the main factors significantly associated with pharmacists’ knowledge levels of high-alert medication were work experience and professional title, whether high alert-medication knowledge was obtained through the network channel, whether high-alert-medication knowledge was obtained through daily work practice and whether high-alert medications were double independent checked before use. Increase the sharing of work cases and knowledge cooperation among different pharmacists and departments in high-alert medications, rationally adjust and arrange the responsibilities of pharmacists, and improve the internal circulation of hospital high-alert medications are helpful to improve pharmacists’ cognitive level of high-alert medication and improve the hospital’s ability to control the risk of high-alert medication.
Creation of Melodic and Rhythmic Patterns Based on Cultural Heritage

Published: July 2022

Globalization is an explicit threat to intangible cultural heritage. Preservation of the traditional dance and music of a variety of cultures and ethnic groups is a subject of many studies and projects of scholars in different disciplines. In the current project, we focus on the same theme by applying a combination of new technology and creative ideas. Our compound method applies choreographic computer game technologies to the elements of intangible cultural heritage, informed by a careful consideration of intrinsic elements of the culture. Using a tool that transforms body movement to musical sound, spatial dance data can create melodic and rhythmic patterns based on structural elements of Azeri music such as 6/8 meter and two-core phrases. The data was sonified by a combination of rotation data across 360 degrees with pitches and cutoff sounds. Each pitch was assigned a region of a circular protractor according to the range and density of the data captured, and the rotation degree of three body parts was mapped into the nearest pitch. The patterns are generated in real time, and the composed music is audible when the game is run. They have a motivic structure and a set of rules that are applied to compose varied but cohesive music, informed by traditional musical stylistic features. The gamified prototype assists the heritage transmission to descendants via a 3D game environment that challenges the players for good performance, appraises their results, and motivates them in learning a folk dance. It also facilitates the players’ familiarization with the cultural forms by generating patterns in rhythmic coordination with the performance. This approach can be applicable to other cultures using their dance data and cultural elements. It also has the potential to be adapted for various apparatuses for game-based learning and knowledge transmission regarding intangible cultural heritage.
Opening Up Virtual Mosh Pits
Authors: Moritzen Karina
Published: July 2022

This article investigates the sociabilities that surround in-game concerts and music scenes in the massively multiplayer online games Fortnite and Minecraft. Drawing on ludomusicology and cultural studies, it will rethink the virtual music scene concept to better incorporate the technical, economical, aesthetic, and social aspects that affect how relationships are developed inside MMOs among members for whom music and games play a primordial role in their personal life-worlds. Focusing on Travis Scott’s Astronomical performance in Fortnite sponsored by the video game and music industries, as well as the independent music festivals in Minecraft organized by volunteer-run virtual events producer Open Pit, allows for comparisons that are valuable in highlighting the characteristics that define a virtual music scene and differentiate it from an in-game concert. In order to conduct such a task, this essay will analyze Scott’s Astronomical performance currently hosted on YouTube while also considering statements made by the rapper in his 2019 Netflix documentary Travis Scott: Look Mom, I Can Fly and magazine interviews with the rapper and the team responsible for this event. In order to understand Open Pit’s festivals, several interviews with its members available online, as well as excursions undertaken by journalists to these events, will be investigated, providing an immersive account of what attending an Open Pit music festival can feel like from their perspectives. In the end, the article argues that as much as Scott’s performance changed what can be expected of in-game concerts by joining game and music aesthetics, Open Pit’s periodic events and their connection to the hyperpop music genre are a better representation of the virtual music scene concept developed in this article.
Sequestration of LINE‐1 in cytosolic aggregates by MOV10 restricts retrotransposition
Authors: Arora Rajika , Bodak Maxime , Penouty Laura , Hackman Cindy , Ciaudo Constance

LINE‐1 (L1) retroelements have retained their ability to mobilize. Mechanisms regulating L1 mobility include DNA methylation in somatic cells and the piRNA pathway in the germline. During preimplantation stages of mouse embryonic development, however, both pathways are inactivated leading to a window necessitating alternate means of L1 regulation. We previously reported an increase in L1 levels in Dicer_KO mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), which was accompanied by only a marginal increase in retrotransposition, suggesting additional mechanisms suppressing L1 mobility. Here, we demonstrate that L1 ribonucleoprotein complexes (L1 RNP) accumulate as aggregates in the cytoplasm of Dicer_KO mESCs along with the RNA helicase MOV10. The combined overexpression of L1 ORF1p and MOV10 is sufficient to create L1 RNP aggregates. In Dicer_KO mESCs, MOV10 is upregulated due to the loss of its direct regulation by miRNAs. The newly discovered posttranscriptional regulation of Mov10, and its role in preventing L1 retrotransposition by driving cytosolic aggregation, provides routes to explore for therapy in disease conditions where L1s are upregulated.

Digital Services Act und Digital Markets Act
Authors: Omlor Sebastian , Heine Jannik
Published: July 2022

2020 hat die EU-Kommission zwei Vorschläge für die Regulierung der Digitalwirtschaft vorgelegt: den Digital Services Act (DSA)1 und den Digital Marktes Act (DMA). Diese beiden Verordnungen bilden die zwei Säulen des großen Digitalpakets, welches eine bis dahin beispiellose Regulierung des digitalen Raums bezweckt. Gemeinsam verfolgen sie das Ziel, ein angemessenes Gleichgewicht zu der Macht großer Internetplattformbetreiber zu schaffen, indem einerseits illegale Inhalte auf diesen Plattformen eingeschränkt werden und andererseits der Wettbewerb zwischen den einzelnen Plattformen reguliert wird. Nach der Zustimmung des Europäischen Parlaments zu Verordnungen am 5. Juli 2022 ist es nur noch eine Frage der Zeit, wann die Vorschriften in Kraft treten werden. Der nachfolgende Beitrag soll einen Überblick über die neuen Regelungen verschaffen und auch die Auswirkungen auf die deutsche Rechtslage thematisieren.

Authors: Rix Jennifer , Gläser Martin
Published: July 2022

Gut gemachte Studien zu aktuellen Themen der Wirtschaft sind für Praktiker und Wissenschaftler gleichermaßen interessant. Die in Heft 04/2020 gestartete Rubrik „Praxisstudien kompakt“ gibt Einblicke in relevante Praxisstudien zur Medienwirtschaft. In dieser Ausgabe stellen wir Ihnen zwei Studien zum Thema „Journalism, Media, and Technology Trends and Predictions“ vor, in denen sich der Autor Nic Newman primär mit Nachrichtenredaktionen beschäftigt. Wir blicken auf die Studien aus den Jahren 2021 und 2022, welche ein holistisches Bild von aktuellen Trends in dieser Branche zeichnen. Newman greift beispielsweise sowohl in 2021 als auch in 2022 die Nachwehen der COVID-19-Pandemie auf. Auch die Rolle von Plattformen wird in beiden Studien diskutiert. Hierbei analysieren die Studien nicht nur den Status Quo, sondern geben auch Prognosen für zukünftige Entwicklungen und Themenschwerpunkte ab. Eine Kontrastierung der beiden Studien zeigt, wie sich Trends entwickeln und welche Themen kürzlich neu aufkamen.

Published: July 2022

В статті розглянуто проблему патологій дихальної системи, зокрема хронічного обструктивного захворювання легень. Мета дослідження є обґрунтування ефективності комплексу засобів фізичної реабілітації при хронічному обструктивному захворюванні легень. Матеріал і методи: у дослідженні взяли участь 23 хворих, віком від 40 до 60 років. Тривалість курсу лікування і реабілітації становила, у середньому, 15-20 днів. Для оцінювання ефективності проведеної реабілітації в контрольній і основній групах були застосовані наступні методи дослідження: педагогічне дослідження, антропометрія (вік, вага, зріст, екскурсія грудної клітки), визначення ЧСС, частоти дихання, спірографічне обстеження (ЖЄЛ), проби Штанге і Генче. Результати: запропоновано програму фізичної терапії, засновану на методиках парадоксального дихання. Апробовано та обґрунтовано запропоновану гіпотезу. Результатом дослідження стало достовірне підвищення показників в основній групі. Висновки: застосування програм фізичної терапії на основі дихальних методик парадоксального дихання (методик О.М. Стрельнікової та К.П. Бутейко) є одним з найбільш дієвих засобів відновлення функцій дихальної системи.
Застосування методики CIMT-терапії при дитячому церебральному паралічі
Authors: Бівол Ірина , Бурка Олена
Published: July 2022

У роботі наведено теоретичний аналіз та узагальнення застосування методики CIMT-терапії дітей, хворих на дитячий церебральний параліч (ДЦП). Нині проблема ДЦП в Україні привертає до себе підвищену увагу через збільшення поширеності захворювання, тому виникає потреба в профілактиці та лікуванні дітей, хворих на ДЦП. Мета дослідження − теоретично обґрунтувати застосування CIMT-терапії при дитячому церебральному паралічі. Матеріал та методи дослідження. Одним серед популярних підходів до лікування є примусова терапія або рухова терапія, викликана обмеженням (CIMT). Терапія рухами, викликана обмеженнями, – це практика, яка використовується фізичними терапевтами для допомоги відновлення функцій верхніх кінцівок у людей з неврологічними руховими порушеннями, яка була розроблена для використання її у пацієнтів після інсульту, а потім застосування було розширено для лікування інших захворювань центральної нервової системи, таких як церебральний параліч. Результати дослідження. Результати дослідження показали, що CIMT-терапія при ДЦП покращує рухові можливості ураженої сторони. При руховій терапії, викликаною обмеженням відзначається активність головного мозку і спостерігається перебудова сірої речовини в корі та гіпокампі. Особливо важливе раннє втручання, оскільки спричинена навчанням пластичність мозку в ранньому віці має унікальний вплив на розвиток мозку. Висновок. CIMT-терапія є ефективним методом лікування задля підвищення рухливості уражених верхніх кінцівок дітей з геміплегічним або моноплегічним церебральним паралічем шляхом оптимізації нейропластичності.
Формування культури здо-ров’я студентів за допомогою фітнес-технологій у ВНЗ
Authors: Максимова Катерина
Published: July 2022

У статті розглядається фізичне виховання як поняття культури здоров’я студентів у гуманістичній парадигмі вищої школи. Зазначається, що процес модернізації торкається всіх сфер життя студентів. З’ясовано причини необхідності реформування та пом’якшення фізичного виховання студентів у вищих навчальних закладах. Визначено основні аспекти сучасних фітнес-технологій оздоровлення як ефективного засобу покращення стану здоров’я та фізичного розвитку студентів. Науково обґрунтовано необхідність цілеспрямованого впровадження в систему вищих навчальних закладів України нових інноваційних фітнес-технологій. Останнім часом спостерігається зниження фізичної активності студентської через стрімке зростання інформаційних технологій. Це стало причиною поганого самопочуття, зниження фізичного рівня та стійкості організму до поганих умов навколишнього середовища.
Єдиним ефективним способом протидії їм є оздоровча фітнес-діяльність, яка здатна зміцнювати та підтримувати належний рівень здоров’я, підвищуючи активність і рівень тренованості та покращуючи морфофункціональні показники учнів. Для актуалізації цих принципів необхідно використовувати нові підходи, засоби та технології та індивідуальні вікові особливості та потреби учнів. Аналіз сучасних тенденцій удосконалення системи фізичної культури дає можливість стверджувати, що зараз формуються нові об’єктивні умови для вирішення цієї проблеми в просторі нового соціально-культурного явища – фітнес-культури сучасного суспільства. Специфічного змісту набуває необхідність впровадження оздоровчого фітнесу як сфери формування культурної, загальноосвітньої грамотності молоді в рамках розуміння оздоровчого значення фізичної культури як частини загальної культури вищої школи.
Дуже потужним стимулом впровадження оздоровчого фітнесу у вищих навчальних закладах України є його позитивний вплив на стан здоров’я, адаптаційні та фізичні можливості сучасної молоді, що є головним і першочерговим завданням нашої держави.
