Published: May 2020

The aim of the research paper is to suggest the proposals on improving approaches to the formation of special competencies of law students for their preparedness to legal support of economic activity. The article focuses on the shortcomings of the legal education system, which lay in the lack of applied skills of the graduate students, as well as their insufficient ability to apply theoretical knowledge, which they acquired, in practice. One of the reasons for this state of training of future lawyers is the predominance of traditional forms of teaching specialized legal disciplines. The study concluded that the list of special competencies contained in The Standard of higher education of Ukraine on specialty «Law» was not sufficiently specific, because it does not focus on the competencies, directed specifically to work in economic field. Based on the analysis of the specialties of legal practice in economic field, a basic list of such special competencies is proposed. One of the ways of forming special competencies of law students using the method of analysis of video recording of the broadcast of trial proceedings on the example of the academic discipline «Economic Procedural Law» is illustrated in the paper.

Published: May 2020

This paper links geographies of in-flow international students to the higher education system in Latvia and destination country choice rationales. Latvia welcomes international students from diverse geographies. Besides specific sourcing countries like Germany and India, there are also considerably constant and stable flows from former Soviet countries. International students are both an essential source of revenue for higher education institutions and to some extent, replacement of decrease of local students. This study adopts a mixed-method approach and based on the analysis of official statistical data and survey data. The survey reveals views on decision-making process and motives of current full-time international students in Latvia. The results indicate that to an extent, geography sets the main motives for study choice in Latvia. Seldom Latvia is set as the only priority destination country. On the one hand, among others balanced costs and accessibility of quality education in English attract foreign students, thus providing ‘second chance’ to be successful. On the other hand, Latvia gives the prerogative to have education in the European Union which for long-distance travelled students is a life-time opportunity.

Published: May 2020

Worldwide studies on the safety of medicines for pregnant women show that most women know which medicines to avoid during pregnancy. However, a large number of women are not aware that the use of medication during pregnancy can lead to adverse events. This type of studies has not been conducted in Latvia yet. The aim of this work is to find out the level of awareness among pregnant women in Latvia about the safety of the use of different medications during pregnancy, in order to clarify the ways of improving it. Quantitative and qualitative research methods have been used in this study. Between September 2018 and December 2019, 606 women were surveyed. Expert interviews led to conclusions on improving the education of pregnant women and pharmacy assistants. About 75% of women have been taking medicines during pregnancy. Usually it was 2-3 medicinal products. Approximately 10% used 4 or more medicines. Most women surveyed are not aware that the use of medications during the second and third trimesters can have a negative effect on the mother or baby. Most women (78%) wouldn’t use medications without a doctor's advice, but 17% would if they consulted a pharmacist. Obtained results on the awareness of pregnant women showed that it is important to improve their knowledge of the safety of medicines. This can be achieved by improving the education program for pharmacy assistant pharmacists. A focus group discussion has been organised on this matter.

Published: May 2020

The aim of the present paper is to monitor changes of selected mental and physiological stress indicators in both female and male sportsmen in the subsequent days prior to an International Judo Tournament in Poland and on the competition day. The study included 9 men and 9 women, participants of the training camp that ended with a tournament. Every morning, on the three consecutive days preceding the competition (day -3, -2, -1) and on the competition day (day 0) capillary blood was sampled to determine serum cortisol (C) and testosterone (T) levels, then the subjects assessed their night sleep quality (SQ)  with the use of a 5-point Likert scale, and perceived anxiety using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory questionnaire by Spielberger (STAI - Polish version). SQ insignificantly deteriorated, and C and anxiety levels increased with the time to event. The inter-group analysis for the entire period showed higher scores in average anxiety and higher average level of C in women than men. The relative changes in these biomarkers could indicate higher pre-competitive stress in women, however without taking into account the sports class of the opponents individually for each of the groups one cannot imply gender-specific susceptibility to stress as a general principle.

Authors: Cuprika Aleksandra , Fernate Andra , Cupriks Leonids
Published: May 2020

A large part of the society perceives the body as a fundamental tool to advance in social life, as a capital in labour relations and in sexual relations as well. The possibility to transform one’s own physical capital into economic, social or cultural capital, which is an opportunity a person receives through carrying out physical activity, is also a value in the field of fitness which is an industry that is worth billions. That is why the aim of this study was to investigate in-depth characterization of the nature of the physical capital concept, linking it to the field of fitness. The study is based on 48 literature sources and scientific articles, 2 of which are in Latvian, 5 in Russian and 41 – in English. The essence of the content of the physical capital concept has been investigated and the connections of notions in different theoretical contexts has been evaluated, starting from the beginning of the physical capital concept. The definitions were grouped in a broader and narrower scope. In the narrower sense, physical capital is a person’s skills and abilities – innate or acquired over time –, which help to perform a specific physical work, move, strengthen or improve physical health and capacity for work. In the broader sense – as values and investments in the body, building of a body in society. In the broader sense of physical capital, the main goal is its transformation into other forms of capital in order to obtain additional benefits or a new status in the society.

Published: May 2020

The development of modern technologies poses new challenges for training legal professionals. Traditional forms of teaching do not produce the desired secondary effect (for example, the students' interest in acquiring knowledge in a particular course) or the end result (acquiring the competences needed for the modern job market). Consequently, teaching should be more focused on the application of new, non-traditional forms of education while preserving the best traditions of legal training (handwriting rather than e-device, developing communication skills and emotional intelligence). As a result, this article analyses the use of technologies and potential threats they pose to maintaining traditional values specific to the legal profession in the education process. The article, using the method of literature analysis, dialectical research, the deductive and inductive method, analysis and synthesis, and modelling, which ensures the validity of the results obtained, sociological observation method, including  as well as the experience of Rezekne Academy of Technologies and of Pskov State University in the training of new lawyers, summarises information and draws conclusions on how to use technology and its development opportunities in the education process.

Primitive reflexes is an automatic muscle reactions which are only present in the first few months, but can remain active in healthy children, thus, impacting on motor proficiency. There is little evidence how primitive reflexes influence on swimming skills acquisition by healthy children. The aim of the study is to examine how primitive reflexes influence swimming skills acquisition by healthy children. Subjects: two 7-year-old girls. Methods: Checklists by Oh et al., (2011) were used to evaluate swimming skill proficiency at swimming lesson 8 and 16. The results were represented as a percentage of the possible maximal score. The testing of the asymmetrical tonic neck reflex, the symmetrical tonic neck reflex, and the tonic labyrinthine reflex was done using Blythe’s, 5-point rating scale. The analysis was carried out using descriptive method. The first girl showed two reflexes at level 1, while the second girl demonstrated all tested reflexes at level 1, 2 and 3. The girl with less total score of reflexes (8%) achieved a better level of swimming proficiency  (from 73% to 77%) than the girl with higher  (25%) severity of these reflex (from 21% to 33%.). The obteined data evidence about influence of primitive  reflexes  on  swimming skill acquisition by healthy children.

Published: May 2020

The researches indicate that core stability may play a substantial role in reducing fall risk in the elders. Nevertheless, cognition and functional performance has been identified with fall risks as well. The impact of functional performance elements and/or cognition on core stability, to complement the intervention programs for seniors in the future, has not been fully studied. This study aimed to assess the effects of leg strength, static balance, walking speed and cognition on the core stability scores. In a cross-sectional design study a sample of 62 participants were eligible for the study.  Elderly aged 60 or older living in Social care centers or autonomous were recruited. Independent variables included static balance, walking speed, leg strength measured by Short Physical Performance Battery, cognition (alertness, divided attention, selective attention, and working memory) evaluated with the Rehacom screening software and age. Dependent variable core stability (the ability to maintain appropriate contraction of muscle transversus abdominis) was assessed performing Prone test with Chattanooga Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback. A hierarchical multiple regression was used for statistical analysis. Static balance and cognition presented greater effects significantly explaining 18% and 13% of the variability of core stability, whereas no significant effects of walking speed and leg strength were found on core stability. Exercise programs where static balance and cognition tasks are implemented to complement core stability performance might be worth investigating and compare with other intervention methods to reduce the risk of falling in the elderly population.

Authors: Blumberga Solveiga , Akmene Dace
Published: May 2020

Work life quality and engagement have been widely studied and terms are being used in the context of working life. Together these terms have not been studied much. Although the connection between these two has been proven as significant in various researches. The aim of every company is to perform well and make a profit, or just one of these aims depending on the type of enterprise and their business. The aim of the research is to determine personnel work life quality and work engagement, their differences, and interconnection in a Nordic business information technology company’s division in Latvia and Finland. Three research questions were set: What is the evaluation of personnel work life quality and work engagement; Is there a statistically significant connection between personnel work life quality and work engagement; Are there statistically significant differences in results of work life quality and work engagement in a Nordic business information technology company’s divisions in Latvia and Finland. The following methods were used for data acquisition: work life quality questionnaire; Work engagement questionnaire. Analysis of the results showed that the evaluation of work life quality and work engagement is medium-high. There is a statistically significant correlation between work life quality and work engagement. Statistically significant differences were found between personnel work life quality and work engagement in both countries. Various work life quality factors promote work engagement. For both divisions, the most challenging is balancing work and private life of the employees. Employees in Finland would evaluate the company’s inner communication higher if they felt more engaged in decision making. Researches of differences reveal that employees of Latvian companies show higher results in social integration and employer and company evaluation than personnel in Finland.

Authors: Kolesovs Aleksandrs , Salkovs Deniss , Blinovs Aleksejs
Published: May 2020

This study explored the problem of attention and its development in young boxers. A rapidly changing situation and a high level of traumatization in boxing are demanding the development of athletes’ attention. Focusing on technical or motivational training is among the reasons for underestimating the development of attentional skills. Study 1 involved seven expert coaches (males, mean age 45.4, mean working experience 20.3 years). The results revealed a relatively high assessment of the psychological component of training and a low agreement on the development of attentional skills. Coaches indicated that testing is the best measurement of attention. Study 2 focused on the measurement of reaction time (RT) in young boxers. Simple and complex RT of nine athletes, aged 12 to 15 (33% females), were assessed before and after the 15 minutes long warm-up. The results demonstrated no significant change in boxers' simple RT and a decrease (about 30 ms) in complex RT after the warm-up. The feedback was provided for athletes and their coaches. A contrast appeared between coaches’ view of well-known exercises for developing attention and their question “Could you suggest some exercise?” Simultaneously, coaches suggested a more specific RT measurement, including the full time of a punch.

Authors: Kobzeva Olga , Tuzova Olga
Published: May 2020

The problem of social success has not been considered as an independent one in Psychology for a long time, but it has been included in the structure of research related to effective communication, social status and professional competence. The increased interest in it is due to the growing attention to the problem of personality changes, an increase in the environmental “challenges” to human abilities, as well as the need to quickly respond to changes in society. The authors study the role of social success in the structure of mental development of the personality; define the determinants that affect its formation and development. The purpose of research is to study the correlation between the level of motivation for success and assumptions on social success among youthful age. The study involved 258 respondents (99 young men and 159 young ladies aged 18 to 21 years). The researchers used a psychodiagnostic method, including two techniques (the “Successful person” method by G.R. Khuzeeva, the method of diagnosing motivation for success by T. Ehlers, in adaptation of E.P. Belinskaya), methods of mathematical and statistical analysis, a genetic method. The results of the study showed that the assumptions on social success in youthful age is associated with getting education, self-confidence, determination, hard work. The authors revealed the relationship between the learners’ level of motivation for success and their assumptions on social success. In a group of young men with a high level of motivation for success, assumptions on social success are associated with the activity aspect (diligence, one’s own activity, responsibility) and the humanistic orientation (well-disposed, responsive, able to sacrifice). Respondents with a low level of motivation for success have a material orientation in the image of success (careerist, entrepreneurial, has connections with the right people).

Published: May 2020

The present study aims to examine the relationship between personality traits, God image and religious coping (RC) among Roman Catholics in Latvia. There were 336 respondents, aged 18 ‒ 86. We applied the Brief (RCOPE), God Image Scale (GIS), Latvian Personality Inventory (LPAv-3), The Centrality of Religiosity Scale CRS-5, including demographic data. The results showed positive correlation between Neuroticism and negative RC, but negative correlation with positive RC. Such personality traits as Openness, Conscientiousness and Agreeableness correlated positively with positive RC. Also Honesty-Humility and God Image correlated positively with positive RC and negatively – with negative RC. The study showed positive correlations between some dimensions of religiosity (and positive RC. Religious ideology and religious experience correlated negatively with negative RC. The study revealed that on the scale level the most relevant predictors of positive religious coping are scales such as religiosity and image of God, and personal traits such as agreeableness and openness. Likewise it was identified that on the scale level the most relevant predictors of negative religious coping are scales such as image of God, neuroticism and religiousness. These findings suggest tenets for psychological and pastoral interventions to decrease the impact of negative RC.

Türk Western’ine Yapısalcı Bir Yaklaşım: Yahşi Batı Örneği
Authors: SİM Şükrü , GÖNCÜ Semih
Published: May 2020

Western türü sinemanın ilk zamanlarında ortaya çıkmış ve uzun bir dönem seyircinin büyük ilgi gösterdiği popüler türlerin başında gelmiştir. Dolayısıyla tür, film çalışmaları kapsamında farklı akademik yaklaşımlar çerçevesinde ele alınmıştır. Örneğin 1950’li yıllarda türe dair yaklaşımlar mitsel bir çerçevede teşekkül etmiştir. Akabinde Auteur teorinin film çalışmalarında etkin bir konuma doğru evrilmesi, western’lerin bu teori kapsamında irdelenmesine yol açmıştır. 1970’li yıllarla birlikte türe dair seyirci ilgisi azalırken, türe olan akademik ilgi yükselmiştir. Bu dönemde ön plana çıkan yaklaşım ise Will Wright’ın başını çektiği yapısalcı yaklaşım olmuştur. 1931-1972 yılları arasında çekilen western’leri yapısalcı yaklaşım ile inceleyen Wright western’lerde bulunan Amerika’nın modern mitlerini ortaya çıkarmaya çalışmıştır. Wright, western’lerde dört farklı anlatı yapısının takip edildiğini ve filmlerin yapısının bazı karşıtlıklardan oluştuğunu iddia etmiştir. Bu çalışmada Will Wright’ın yapısalcı yaklaşımı Türk sinemasında son dönemde çekilen tek western/komedi filmi olan Yahşi Batı (2009) filmine uygulanmıştır. Filmin Wright’ın yapısalcı yaklaşımına uygunluk gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu şekilde Wright’ın 1970’li yıllarda western’lere dair ortaya koyduğu yapısalcı yapının, ABD dışında nispeten yakın zamanda çekilen bir Türk western’inde de geçerliliğini koruduğu ortaya çıkarılmıştır.

Trata-se de pesquisa descritivo-analítica sobre a relação público-privado em educação especial, a qual busca averiguar a destinação de recursos do salário-educação à Secretaria de Educação do Estado de São Paulo entre 2010 e 2019 e analisar solicitações de verbas por meio do Programa Dinheiro Direto na Escola-Básico-Modalidade Especial no mesmo período, relativamente a uma amostra intencional de instituições sem fins lucrativos atuantes nessa área. Pretende-se responder as seguintes questões: qual a destinação dos valores do salário-educação correspondentes às matrículas da educação especial na Rede Estadual de Ensino de São Paulo? Qual a amplitude das solicitações em relação aos valores arrecadados do salário-educação pela Seduc-SP? Foram utilizadas fontes documentais, legislação e outras; dados das solicitações de verbas pelas referidas instituições no Portal do Fundo Nacional de Desenvolvimento da Educação; e demonstrativos financeiros da Secretaria da Fazenda e Planejamento do Estado de São Paulo. A discussão teve embasamento teórico de autores que discutem história da educação especial (Mazzotta, 2003; Kassar, 2011), financiamento da educação (Pinto, 2000; Vieira; Vidal, 2015) e parcerias público-privadas (Peroni, 2006). Observamos que os recursos do salário-educação repassados ao estado de São Paulo são rubricados para a sua Secretaria de Educação, mas a agregação dos montantes inviabilizou a identificação das ações a que foram destinados. Em relação às verbas solicitadas pelas instituições sem fins lucrativos, os valores são bem menores se comparados aos montantes globais destinados à Secretaria, mas estes poderiam incrementar ações da educação especial na perspectiva inclusiva na educação pública.
Antioxidative action of polyamines in protection of phospholipid membranes exposed to ozone stress

In the present work, Langmuir monolayers were used to study the interaction of putrescine (a cationic antioxidant) with anionic charged membranes (1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate) under oxidative stress caused by the presence of ozone in the water phase. Calcium ions and acidic environment were used to compare the electrostatic and antioxidant effects of putrescine with those of an inorganic cation. It has been shown that the main role of putrescine in protecting systems against oxidation is its rapid reaction with ROS. The initial rate of ROS neutralization rose as the concentration of putrescine increased. No such reaction was observed for calcium ions. The consequence of putrescine’s ozone removal was lesser lipid destruction that depended on the pH conditions.
Endotoxin Potentiates The Procoagulant Effects Of Tissue Factor
Authors: Spillert Charles R.
Published: May 2020

Tissue Factor is the initiator of the extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation.  It is

generated in blood as a result of a variety of diseases and conditions and is, in part, responsible for the majority of morbidity and mortality in humans. In spite of this potential release during major trauma or diseases, there are few rapid clinical whole blood coagulation tests that can monitor the early generation of tissue factor. This study will evaluate whether endotoxin enhances the procoagulant effects of tissue factor on human blood and plasma.

Gracias a la accesibilidad del cervix, se ha estudiado extensamente el cáncer invasivo y sus precursores con técnicas citológicas, histológicas, clínicas y de laboratorio. Hoy se acepta que la mayoría de los cánceres invasivos fueron precedidos por una etapa precursora del desarrollo que se caracteriza morfológicamente por alteraciones nucleares y citoplasmáticas que incluyen: aumento del tamaño nuclear, hipercromasia, aumento del número de mitosis (normales y anormales), alteraciones en la disposición celular (polaridad) y diferenciación citoplasmática incompleta, anormal o ausente. (1) Se han usado ampliamente los términos "Displasia" y "Carcinoma in situ (CIS)" (2) y, más recientemente, el de "Neoplasia lntraepitelial Cervical (NIC)", (3) para designar estos cambios.
Descripción de un nuevo método para clasificación de la enfermedad hipertensiva inducida por el embarazo
Authors: Correa Uribe Alfonso
Published: May 2020

Se revisaron las historias clínicas de las pacientes que presentaron Enfermedad Hipertcnsiva Inducida por el Embarazo (Pre-eclampsia — Eclampsia) en un período de 18 meses comprendido entre el 31 de diciembre de 1984 y el 30 de junio de 1985. En dicho período se encontró un total de 147 pacientes con diagnóstico de EHIE, de las cuales no se incluyeron en el estudio 40 pacientes, por no cumplir con los parámetros establecidos por nuestra Institución para el Diagnóstico de Pre-eclampsia — Eclampsia. Se realizó un estudio estadístico de los 107 casos restantes, de los cuales 12 correspondieron a Eclampsia.Se realizó también un análisis discriminante de diferentes variables involucradas en la enfermedad para valorar la significancia que tiene cada una de estas con respecto a la severidad de la pre-cclampsia.Se pretendió de esta forma buscar la importancia de cada una de estas variables por medio de una combinación lineal. La función discriminante para cada variable se obtuvo mediante método directo y método stepwise. Por medio del método directo no se obtuvieron datos de importancia. Con el método de Stepwise se encontró que las variables más significativas fueron la edad de la paciente, número de gestaciones previas y edad gestacional al desembarazar a la paciente. No se encontró significancia estadística en los niveles séricos de Acido Urico ni de Plaquetas. Esto simplemente indica que hay variables que tienen una gran importancia clínica mas no tienen una importancia estadística. Se hallaron dos funciones canónicas por medio de estas variables descritas anteriormente. Con estas funciones se logra discriminar en forma precisa los diferentes niveles de severidad de la enfermedad. Estas dos funciones discriminantes se pueden apreciar mejor por medio de un mapa territorial, mediante el cual se puede ubicar si la paciente en cuestión padece determinada severidad de pre-eclampsia.

Does circumcision change uroflowmetry parameters?
Authors: SANCAR Serpil , KIRLI Elif
Published: May 2020

Objectives: The benefits of circumcision, which is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures, are controversial. In our study, before and after circumcision, uroflowmetry parameters were compared to evaluate the effects of circumcision on voiding. Methods: Children between the ages of 5-15 years who applied to the outpatient clinic for voluntary circumcision and who did not have underlying diseases and voiding problems were included in the study. Circumcision was performed by specialist in sterile conditions under general anesthesia. Uroflowmetry was evaluated by voiding volume, voiding time, maximum flow rate, average flow rate, shape of the curve. The pre-circumcision and post-circumcision uroflowmetry results were compared statistically. Results: Fifty patients with a median age of seven years (range: 5-10 years) were included in the study. When uroflow parameters were compared in our study, the maximum flow rate, mean flow rate and the time to maximum flow rate were found significantly different (p < 0.05). The plateau pattern was detected in 30% of patients before circumcision, while in 8% of patients after circumcision. Conclusions: Circumcision performed by specialists under sterile conditions has positive effects on uroflow parameters.
