Principles of impulse modeling of local clusters
Authors: Pavliv Andriy
Published: December 2018

The perspective of urban fabric transformation is formulated in connection with the reduction
of the influence of industrial factors and the development of information-rich society. This tendency transforms large functional areas of the industrial city into local residential clusters with
a pedestrian accessibility of up to 2 km. The aggregate of such clusters of universal pedestrian
accessibility (“urban villages”), which is superimposed by the growth of local self-organization
and vertical initiatives, may cause partial revision of the functions of city-wide management.
A key element for the practical implementation of the impulse development strategy of the city
in the 21st century is the prediction of the development of a basic urban unit in a post-industrial
city, which in this work is called the local cluster. The phenomenon of impulse development of
urban fabric is analysed, and the system of laws and principles that transform urban complexes
into post-industrial ones is outlined. It has been found that the impulse strategy, in contemporary conditions, should be made of two components and contain both city-wide and local
levels of management and modeling. The level of local clusters, which is being discussed herein,
involves the presence of a combination of impulse factors, the content and names of which are
presented in this work.
Transforming Deities
Authors: Rountree Kathryn
Published: December 2018

This article examines a variety of ways in which deities from the ancient Mediterranean have been re-appropriated, re-interpreted, transformed, and invented for contemporary religious and socio-political purposes by local Pagan communities—especially in Greece, Italy, Iberia, and Malta—and by followers of the global Goddess spirituality movement.
Maria – Mutter der Hoffnung und des Trostes. Der spezifische Beitrag der Ordensperson im Dienst des Evangeliums der Hoffnung
Authors: Kijas Zdzisław J.
Published: December 2018

When we ask about the specific contribution of consecrated persons in the service of the Gospel of hope, we reply that it can be essentially summed up by three behaviors. Firstly, when we talk about hope, it means that we are experiencing some form of anxiety, possibly fear of distress. It is necessary, therefore, to look at fear from the perspective of Christian hope, which overcomes the fear, distances and eliminates any distress. Secondly, when we try to decipher the time of trials in its fullest sense, both spiritual as well as existential experience, familial or communal, we understand it as another way of experiencing hope. Thirdly, He gives strength in the holy anxiety about the things of the Lord, in order to realize what he is calling one to do. He will give the strength to follow this road and arrive at the goal of one’s journey.

Stosunki majątkowe między parafią zakonną a domem zakonnym
Authors: Skonieczny Piotr
Published: December 2018

This article presents the problematic concerning the property relations between the religious parish and the religious house. According to the Author these relations are founded on two basic principles: the autonomy of the two juridical persons, i.e. the religious parish and the religious house, and cooperation in view of the salvation of souls. The Author then applies these basic principles by commenting on income, the administration of goods and, finally, the common costs to be apportioned.
Teologia i jej zadania w świetle wskazań Kongregacji Nauki Wiary
Authors: Charamsa Krzysztof
Published: December 2018

The article reflects on the theology and its assignments from the point of view of its own scientific method. The coherent method of the theological speculation cannot be totally indifferent to the essential bond between theology and deposit of the faith. To this respect, the indications offered by the teaching of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in the post-conciliar time are analyzed, reflecting on the doctrinal competence field, where the Dicastery advances with a new intensity the doctrinal orientations for the correct theological method.
The challenges of widening access to the medical profession: how to facilitate medical careers for those at a genuine disadvantage
Authors: Sartania Nana , Haddock Graham , Underwood Mark
Published: December 2018

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Widening Participation (WP) for medical school entry has been politically encouraged to ensure access and participation for underrepresented groups rarely able to gain access to this high demand profession. Those who reside in the 20-40% most deprived postcodes in Scotland (SIMD20) are much less likely to apply for medical school entrance, and even less likely to succeed. The National Reach programme in Scotland aims to rectify the existing situation by encouraging and supporting students from working class backgrounds to apply to high demand courses, including medicine, and has achieved great success in helping pupils from target secondary schools to gain a place in Glasgow Medical School. However, some of the Reach students have similar demographics to the rest of the medical school class and arguably do not genuinely belong in the target group. To address this, a second flag based on SIMD20 residence was employed. However, applying more than one WP flag - while substantially improving the targeting of this programme and helping those who truly are multiply deprived - reduces the Reach-eligible applicant pool to the point of undermining the high WP targets imposed on Universities. But using only a single criterion of MD20 residence or school progression rate would unfairly advantage some pupils that are actually not disadvantaged. Ideally, individualised indicators such as eligibility for Free School Meals, possession of an Educational Maintenance Allowance or receipt of a UKCAT bursary, would complement residential data and school progression rates. This paper reflects on the evolution of the admissions practices in our medical school designed to comply with the targets, but also create a medical workforce reflecting the population it serves.
Creating Change in Intercollegiate Athletics: The Sexual Assault Prevention Paradigm for Athletic Departments
Authors: McCray Kristy Lee , Sutherland Sue , Pastore Donna L
Published: December 2018

In 2011, the Office for Civil Rights issued a “Dear Colleague Letter” instructing universities to take action regarding sexual assault on college campuses. Specifically, universities must better educate students on the prevention of sexual assault, in the hope of reducing violence against women. Previous research is mixed on the involvement of intercollegiate student-athletes in incidences of sexual assault; however, recent high-profile cases of sexual misconduct at universities indicate that student-athletes are not immune to this issue. The purpose of this study was to explore how sexual assault is viewed within the culture of intercollegiate athletics, including education, occurrence, and prevention. Through interviews with former intercollegiate athletes, three main findings emerged: (1) Participant Knowledge, (2) Sexual Assault Within the Context of College Athletics; and (3) Creating Change in Athletic Department Culture. Using grounded theory, these themes were combined to create the Sexual Assault Prevention Paradigm for Athletic Departments.

Published: December 2018

As the number of at-risk collegiate student athletes continues to rise and their academic success continues to be scrutinized, the role of the learning specialist is becoming increasingly important. The purpose of this research was to determine the essential duties of learning specialists in collegiate athletics, possible correlations between the learning specialist’s degree and the frequency of their tasks, as well as the possible connection between conference, number of learning specialists on staff, and tasks assigned and number of students on the learning specialists’ caseload. A survey was completed by 90 individuals who self-identified as learning specialists and members of N4A. Results indicate that the three tasks most frequently performed by learning specialists are developing learning strategies with individual students, sending reminders, and holding study hall and these tasks remain consistent regardless of their educational background, conference or number of learning specialists on staff. Implications of these findings and future research recommendations are also discussed.

POSTOPERATIVE CHANGES IN INTESTINAL MICROBIOTA AND USE OF PROBIOTICS IN ROUX-EN-Y GASTRIC BYPASS AND SLEEVE VERTICAL GASTRECTOMY: AN INTEGRATIVE REVIEW
Authors: WAGNER Nathalia Ramori Farinha , ZAPAROLLI Marilia Rizzon , CRUZ Magda Rosa Ramos , SCHIEFERDECKER Maria Eliana Madalozzo , CAMPOS Antônio Carlos Ligocki
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT Introduction: Studies suggest that weight loss induced by bariatric surgery and the remission of some comorbidities may be related to changes in the microbiota profile of individuals undergoing this procedure. In addition, there is evidence that manipulation of the intestinal microbiota may prove to be a therapeutic approach against obesity and metabolic diseases. Objective: To verify the changes that occur in the intestinal microbiota of patients undergoing bariatric surgery, and the impact of the usage of probiotics in this population. Methods: Articles published between 2007 and 2017 were searched in Medline, Lilacs and Pubmed with the headings: bariatric surgery, microbiota, microbiome and probiotics, in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Of the 166 articles found, only those studies in adults subjected to either Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve vertical gastrectomy published in original articles were enrolled. In the end, five studies on the change of intestinal microbiota composition, four on the indirect effects of those changes and three on the probiotics administration on this population were enrolled and characterized. Conclusion: Bariatric surgery provides changes in intestinal microbiota, with a relative increase of the Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria phyla and reduction of Firmicutes. This is possibly due to changes in the gastro-intestinal flux, coupled with a reduction in acidity, in addition to changes in eating habits. The usage of probiotics seems to reduce the gastro-intestinal symptoms in the post-surgery, favor the increase of vitamin B12 synthesis, as well as potentiate weight loss.
Lactose em alimentos industrializados: avaliação da disponibilidade da informação de quantidade
Authors: Batista Raíssa Aparecida Borges , Assunção Dyessa Cardoso Bernardes , Penaforte Fernanda Rodrigues de Oliveira , Japur Camila Cremonezi
Published: December 2018

Resumo Indivíduos com intolerância à lactose, doença de alta prevalência, devem controlar o consumo de alimentos com esse dissacarídeo para evitar sintomas gastrointestinais. Como a tolerância é variável à quantidade ingerida, é fundamental a discussão sobre a disponibilização da informação de quantidade de lactose em alimentos industrializados, que atualmente não é obrigatória. O estudo avaliou a disponibilidade da informação sobre a quantidade de lactose por análise dos rótulos de alimentos industrializados, que contivessem leite ou lactose na lista de ingredientes. Em seguida, realizou-se contato com as indústrias de alimentos para solicitação da informação. Foram avaliados 1.209 alimentos, dos quais 1.092 eram tradicionais e 117 diet/light/zero. Apenas 3,1% dos alimentos analisados apresentavam a informação sobre a quantidade de lactose na tabela nutricional dos rótulos. A presença desta informação foi maior no grupo de alimentos diet/light/zero do que nos tradicionais. Além disso, das 156 empresas contatadas, somente 14 informaram a quantidade de lactose contida nos alimentos, 93 responderam a solicitação, porém não disponibilizaram as quantidades, e 49 não responderam. Conclui-se que há baixa disponibilidade da informação sobre a quantidade de lactose em alimentos industrializados.

Published: December 2018

Abstract This article aims to review systematically the evidence on nutritional assessment techniques and parameters used to determine the nutritional status of children and adolescents. The literature review and the selection of publications were performed using the Medline, Lilacs, SciELO, Embase, personal files. 17 studies were identified, 7 addressed the anthropometric indices as the main outcome, 7 analyzed the growth and development of children and adolescents through growth curves, and the remainder surveyed body composition. In general, all met the quality criteria, unless 6 of the articles who did not discuss the limitations. The literature review suggests several techniques and parameters that can be applied to determine the nutritional status of children and adolescents from different countries. Growth graphs are essential to assess the health of children, but depend greatly of the growth tables used. Although BMI can be practical, it does not distinguish body fat from lean mass. The best interpretation of anthropometry will depend of valid reference values for age range of the study population. BIA is a quick feasible method, but the measurement has some various nationalities.

Published: December 2018

Resumo O estudo analisou as ações de prevenção e controle da obesidade infantil, especialmente as de Promoção da Alimentação Adequada e Saudável (PAAS), que integram Políticas do governo federal brasileiro nos últimos 15 anos. Foram analisados todos os documentos que apresentam ações de PAAS no âmbito das políticas de saúde e segurança alimentar e nutricional a partir das seguintes dimensões: (1) a abordagem das ações de PAAS; (2) os condicionantes da obesidade que pretendem afetar e (3) as potenciais disputas de interesses. As principais ações de PAAS identificadas visam fomentar: a educação alimentar e nutricional; os sistemas produtivos de base agroecológica; a agricultura familiar; a acessibilidade alimentar; os ambientes saudáveis e as ações regulatórias. Essas ações interferem em diferentes condicionantes da obesidade infantil, apresentam distintas concepções sobre o problema e afetam distintos interesses. Destacam-se as disputas entre os interesses das corporações comerciais de alimentos processados e do agronegócio e os setores governamentais e societários norteados pelos objetivos de PAAS. As ações voltadas para a regulamentação das compras e espaços públicos, além da publicidade de produtos não saudáveis para crianças, são as que melhor expressam os interesses em disputa.
A distribuição de capitais entre a mão esquerda e a mão direita da burocracia brasileira
Authors: Ventura Otávio
Published: December 2018

RESUMO Introdução Partindo das formulações teóricas de Pierre Bourdieu sobre o Estado, este trabalho examina dados de mais de 200 carreiras civis do Poder Executivo Federal com o objetivo de compreender como se dá a distribuição de diferentes tipos de capital na burocracia brasileira. Métodos Para isso, foi empregado o método Principal Components Analysis (PCA) em uma base de carreiras construída a partir de dados extraídos do Sistema Integrado de Administração de Recursos Humanos (Siape). Resultados Os resultados mostram que são mais valorizadas e mais restritas as carreiras associadas à noção bourdieusiana de mão direita do Estado, como economia, gestão, finanças e controle, e menos valorizadas e menos restritas as carreiras mais associadas à mão esquerda do Estado, como saúde, educação e assistência social; Discussão revelando uma distribuição desigual de capitais entre segmentos da burocracia brasileira. Isso pode interferir nas chances que cada tipo de burocrata tem na luta permanente para indicar o que é e para falar em nome do interesse público.
An overview of recent progress in the implementation of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation - a global perspective
Authors: Sharrock Suzanne , Hoft Robert , Dias Braulio Ferreira de Souza
Published: December 2018

Abstract The Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) with its 16 outcome-orientated targets aimed at achieving a series of measurable goals was adopted by the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) at its sixth meeting (COP-6) in 2002. In 2010, at COP-10, these targets were updated, taking into account progress at the time. To date, a number of countries have developed national responses to contribute to the GSPC, including several mega-diverse countries and other plant rich countries and regions. Additionally, a number of global initiatives have been established to promote the implementation of the GSPC. This paper provides an overview of progress at the global level towards the GSPC targets, highlighting actions that have taken place at a supra-national level, as well as providing examples of good practice in national implementation. The GSPC has been widely adopted, particularly by the botanic garden community, and while unlikely to achieve its ultimate goal of halting the loss of plant diversity by 2020, has achieved many successes, not least in allowing and facilitating many individuals and organisations from the botanical community to engage with the CBD and to contribute to the achievement of its objectives, targets and priorities.

Comparative wood anatomy of Ficus cestrifolia (Moraceae) in two distinct soil conditions
Authors: Melo Júnior João Carlos Ferreira de , Amorim Maick Willian , Soffiatti Patrícia
Published: December 2018

Abstract Wood anatomical traits respond to environmental variables and among them, soil has a direct impact on secondary xylem. This study compares the wood anatomy of two populations of Ficus cestrifolia occurring in two lowland formations of Southern Brazil (MAQ and SJS) with similar climate but different soil conditions. Wood samples were collected at breast height and prepared according to standard wood anatomy techniques. Soil samples were collected and subjected to a nutrient analysis. Wood was described quali and quantitatively. The qualitative wood anatomical features of both populations were similar. Some quantitative differences were observed. In MAQ area, the levels of macro- and micronutrients were higher than in SJS. Its population presented higher vessel frequency, thicker-walled fibers, and lower vulnerability index. SJS's population had longer fibers, wider rays and a higher ray frequency, and higher vulnerability index. This suite of characters indicates that the MAQ population has a safer and more efficient xylem structure for water conduction. Under the influence of similar climate and soil type, differences regarding wood anatomical traits found between the two populations of Ficus cestrifolia can thus be regarded as an ecological response to the micro-environmental soils nutrients composition.
Estudo de resinas acrílicas modificadas por diferentes tamanhos de partícula para aplicação na área odontológica
Authors: Vicente Tiago , Balzer Palova Santos
Published: December 2018

RESUMO Uma vez que partículas inorgânicas exercem papel fundamental nas propriedades de uma resina composta na odontologia, buscou-se avaliar a influência da variação do tamanho médio das partículas em suas propriedades mecânicas. Foram avaliados nestas resinas odontológicas a resistência à flexão, resistência à compressão, microdurezaVickers e tensão de contração. Para evitar variações indesejadas, a consistência destas resinas não variou entre as amostras (Consistência Squeeze = 75 N). Além da consistência, outras variáveis de uma resina composta (composição da matriz orgânica, iniciadores, inibidores) tiveram suas quantidades fixadas, buscando não haver outro tipo de influência no estudo. Foram utilizados nove tipos de resinas nesse trabalho, com tamanho médio de partícula variando entre 0,4 µm e 3,0 µm, havendo três resinas compostas por tamanho único de partícula (0,4µm, 1,0µm e 3,0 µm) e seis resinas compostas por misturas das cargas citadas anteriormente. Os resultados obtidos foram compilados e os dados submetidos à análise estatística (ANOVA – Teste de Comparações Múltiplas de Tukey com significância de 5%). Os resultados demonstraram que o efeito de sinergia recorrente da mistura de cargas acarretou em uma elevação nos valores de resistência à compressão e resistência à flexão, se comparados a resinas com cargas de tamanho único. Também se pode constatar que não há uma única faixa de tamanho médio de partículas com resultados superiores às demais em todas as propriedades. Buscando um balanço entre as propriedades analisadas, as amostras com tamanho médio de partículas de 2,02 µm e 2,14 µm, ambas compostas por misturas de cargas (não carga única), apresentaram melhores resultados. Conforme análise estatística de Tukey, ambas foram posicionadas como pertencentes aos 2 agrupamentos que indicam propriedades superiores em todos os ensaios realizados.
Reutilização de terra diatomácea residual proveniente da produção de soros antiofídicos e antitóxicos
Authors: Faria Ricardo Adriano Dorledo de , Silva Tássia Gabriela Guimarães Pereira , Soares Renata Braga , Rodrigues Christianne Garcia
Published: December 2018

RESUMO Na produção de soros antiofídicos e antitóxicos, comumente se utiliza a terra diatomácea, que é um mineral leve, de baixa massa específica e com alto potencial de adsorção, sendo este comumente empregado em processos de filtração. A fim de se reutilizar a terra residual dos processos de filtração de soros antiodíficos e antitóxicos da Fundação Ezequiel Dias, este trabalho propôs sua recuperação via tratamento térmico. Após Análise Termogravimétrica da terra diatomácea residual, concluiu-se que a partir de 600°C todas as impurezas presentes neste material haviam sofrido degradação. Assim, uma amostra do mineral saturado foi aquecido em forno mufla até a temperatura de 700°C. Em seguida, a influência do tratamento térmica nas propriedades do mineral foi avaliada por meio da determinação dos parâmetros físico-químicos como pH, densidade aparente, teor de umidade base seca e seu potencial de adsorção em plasma equino hiperimune, principal característica para sua aplicação no processo de filtração para obtenção dos soros. Foi verificado que as propriedades físico-químicas do material recuperado estiveram próximas àquelas da terra nova, sendo obtidas diferenças percentuais de 6,1% para o pH, 12,8% para densidade aparente, 3,6% para o teor de umidade base seca e 1,4% em relação ao potencial de adsorção relativo. Desta forma, foi possível inferir que o tratamento térmico proposto não alterou consideravelmente a capacidade de adsorção da terra diatomácea, tornando-a reutilizável como agente filtrante no processo de produção dos soros.

Published: December 2018

RESUMO O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a eficiência do fungo Pycnoporus sanguineus como prétratamento para biopolpação de três espécies de eucalipto. As madeiras ficaram expostas ao fungo por 30, 60 e 90 dias, em condições favoráveis. Para verificar a eficiência da deslignificação causada pelo fungo foram quantificados: perda de massa, teor de extrativos, lignina insolúvel e modificação morfológica da fibra. Os resultados demonstraram que a madeira de Eucalyptus globulus no período de 90 dias, foi a mais promissora para o pré-tratamento fúngico, onde nesse período foi o que ocorreu maior deslignificação. De modo geral, foi possível concluir que o fungo Pycnoporus sanguineus promoveu a degradação de lignina o que o torna um processo em potencial para a indústria de celulose e papel a qual necessita a retirada desses polímeros sempre visando uma produção mais econômica e ambientalmente viável.
Recovery of recyclables of municipal solid waste: the case of Jordan
Authors: Gharagheer Fawzi Suleiman , Hamdi Moshrik R , Bazlamit Subhi M
Published: December 2018

The low recyclable recovery (RR) rate of municipal solid waste (MSW) (7·0%) in Jordan compared to the average recovery rate of the members of the EU (42%) indicates the necessity of changing the current practices of RR being implemented in Jordan where the latest national strategy of MSW management, launched by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs in May 2015, aims to achieve an RR rate of 50% by the year 2034. This research aims to identify the attributes of an efficient and successful RR programme and recommend an implementable plan for RR that can achieve the target of 50% earlier than the year 2034. Practices of RR currently being implemented in Jordan are analysed and compared with successful practices implemented in developed countries. A public–private partnership is suggested to establish and operate semi-mechanical RR facilities that use the resources currently owned and operated by Joint Service Councils and local municipalities. Utilising the current resources enables the country to achieve the 50% RR rate goal. The rough financial analysis conducted clearly indicates that the 20% RR rate of plastic alone can offset the deficit in the municipality budget resulting from MSW management in Jordan.
Investigating the Relationship between Cerebral Blood Flow and Cognitive Function in Hemodialysis Patients
Authors: Findlay Mark Duncan , Dawson Jesse , Dickie David Alexander , Forbes Kirsten P. , McGlynn Deborah , Quinn Terry , Mark Patrick B.
Published: December 2018

Background

The immediate and longer-term effects of hemodialysis on cerebral circulation, cerebral structure, and cognitive function are poorly understood.

Methods

In a prospective observational cohort study of 97 adults (median age 59 years) receiving chronic hemodialysis, we used transcranial Doppler ultrasound to measure cerebral arterial mean flow velocity (MFV) throughout dialysis. Using a well validated neuropsychological protocol, we assessed cognitive function during and off dialysis and after 12 months of treatment. We also used brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess atrophy, white matter hyperintensities (WMHs), and diffusion parameters, and tested correlations between MFV, cognitive scores, and changes on MRI.

Results

MFV declined significantly during dialysis, correlating with ultrafiltrate volumes. Percentage of decline in MFV correlated with intradialytic decline in cognitive function, including global function, executive function, and verbal fluency. At follow-up, 73 patients were available for repeat testing, 34 of whom underwent repeat MRI. In a subgroup of patients followed for 12 months of continued dialysis, percentage of decline in MFV correlated significantly with lower global and executive function and with progression of WMH burden (a marker of small vessel disease). Twelve of 15 patients who received renal transplants during follow-up had both early and follow-up off-dialysis assessments. After transplant, patients’ memory (on a delayed recall test) improved significantly; increased fractional anisotropy of white matter (a measure of cerebral diffusion) in these patients correlated with improving executive function.

Conclusions

Patients undergoing hemodialysis experience transient decline in cerebral blood flow, correlating with intradialytic cognitive dysfunction. Progressive cerebrovascular disease occurred in those continuing dialysis, but not in transplanted patients. Cognitive function and cerebral diffusion improved after transplant.
Variables socio afectivas y la eficacia en la labor docente
Authors: Rodríguez-Mateo Heriberto Javier
Published: December 2018

Es evidente que existe un alto índice de malestar en la profesión docente. Diferentes tipos de variables (individuales, sociales y organizacionales) influyen en el profesorado haciendo que éste se tenga que enfrentar a muchas situaciones con alta incertidumbre. Las consecuencias son el estrés laboral crónico, el síndrome de desgaste profesional, o burnout y el mobbing.Maslach y Jackson (1981) establecen unos criterios de evaluación de dicho síndrome. En el año 1996 se construyó la Escala MBI-GS por Schaufeli, Leiter, Maslach y Jackson para medir burnout en todo tipo de trabajos independientemente de las tareas que en él se realicen. Fue adaptada a la versión española por Salanova, Schaufeli, Llorens, Grau y Peiró, en el año 2000. El MBI-GS se compone por tres dimensiones: agotamiento, cinismo y eficacia profesional.Por otro lado, en los últimos años son muchos los estudios que están utilizando el marco teórico de los Moldes Mentales, como factor explicativo de la conducta humana en distintos ámbitos. Esta teoría permite evaluar de forma operativa las distintas formas de entender el mundo y la vida, y con alta validez predictiva, siendo capaz de predecir la adaptación o el bienestar subjetivo, el éxito o el fracaso de la escolaridad general, las matemáticas o el ajedrez en mayor proporción que el CI u otro indicador (Hernández, 2005; Hernández-Guanir y Rodríguez-Mateo, 2006).Este estudio tiene como finalidad explorar aquellas variables socio afectivas que pueden estar relacionadas con los factores que definen el síndrome de desgaste profesional. Se parte con la idea de que para ser un docente eficaz es necesario que el individuo cuente con una serie de moldes mentales que lo sustenten en su labor profesional diaria.Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo este estudio en un centro educativo de secundaria, con una muestra de 40 docentes a los que se les ha valorado con la ayuda de dos instrumentos: el MBI-GS y el Test de Estrategias Cognitivo-emocionales MOLDES (Hernández-Guanir, 2010). Los resultados apoyan las hipótesis iniciales que marcan una correlación positiva entre las variables socio afectivas del profesorado y su eficacia como docentes. También se han realizado diversas regresiones lineales múltiples cuyos resultados muestran que es posible obtener modelos predictivos exploratorios de dos de las dimensiones del MBI-GS (cinismo y eficacia) a través de los moldes más significativos que arroja el modelo, lo que confirma la validez predictiva de la teoría de los Moldes Mentales.

Bu çalışmanın
amacı, anaerobik egzersizin erkek ve kadın takım sporcularının basit reaksiyon
zamanlarına etkisini incelemektir. Çalışmaya 18 - 30 yaş aralığında basketbol,
voleybol, hentbol, futbol ve hokey branşlarında en az 2 yıldır aktif olarak
spor yapmakta olan 120 sporcu gönüllü olarak dâhil edildi. Gruplara yaş, boy
uzunluğu, vücut ağırlığı, basit görsel ve işitsel reaksiyon zamanı ile
anaerobik bir test olan “Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test” (RAST) ölçümleri
yapıldı. Katılımcıların anaerobik test öncesi basit görsel ve işitsel reaksiyon
zamanı ölçümleri yapıldı (ön test). Daha sonra ısınma yaptırılarak RAST testi
uygulamasını takiben basit görsel ve işitsel reaksiyon zamanı ölçümleri tekrar
edildi (son test). Grupların ön test ve son test parametreleri ile gruplar
arası karşılaştırmalarda, basit görsel ve işitsel reaksiyon zamanı değerlerinde
istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir fark gözlenmedi (p>0,05). Futbol branşında
erkek sporcuların kadın sporculara göre işitsel reaksiyon zamanlarının daha iyi
olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05). Sonuç olarak anaerobik egzersizin branşlar
arasında basit görsel ve işitsel reaksiyon zamanlarında herhangi bir değişime
yol açmadığı, en az 2 yıllık tecrübeye sahip sporcularda anaerobik bir egzersiz
sonrasında bile uyarıya karşı merkezi sinir sistemi tarafından hızlıca
değerlendirme yaparak uygun yanıtın verilebildiği ve nörokognitif
fonksiyonların zorlu koşullarda bozulmadığı söylenebilir.

Bu
çalışmada farklı ısınma protokollerinin 1-maksimal tekrar skuat performansına
(1-MT) etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Araştırmanın örneklem grubunu en az 3
yıl düzenli fitness sporu yapan 9 erkek (yaş: 25 ± 4,1 yıl, boy: 173,22 ± 8,46
cm, vücut ağırlığı: 75 ± 8,37 kg) oluşturdu. Katılımcılar birbirini izlemeyen
günlerde 4 farklı ısınma protokolü uyguladılar. Isınma protokolleri olarak “5
dakika hafif tempo koşu (IUE)”, “5 dakika hafif tempo koşu ve statik ısınma (SI)”,
“5 dakika hafif tempo koşu ve dinamik ısınma (DI)”, “5 dakika hafif tempo koşu
ve proprioseptif nöromusküler fasilitasyon ısınma (PNF)” uygulandı. Araştırma
verilerinde farklı ısınma protokollerinin 1-MT üzerine etkisinin
belirlenmesinde “Repeated Measures Anova” testi, performansın hangi ısınma
protokolü lehine olduğunun tespitinde çoklu karşılaştırma testlerinden
“Bonferroni” analizi uygulandı. Sonuç olarak katılımcıların 1-MT skuat performansı
sırasıyla IUE (120.56 kg), PNF (112,78 kg), SI (106,67 kg), DI (122,22 kg)
arasında istatistiksel olarak farklılık olduğu tespit edildi (p<0,05). Ayrıca,
gönüllülerin skuat 1-MT performansı değerlerinin en fazla dinamik ısınma
sonrası görüldüğü belirlendi. Antrenör ve sporculara skuat hareketi öncesinde
performanstan daha çok verim alabilmeleri amacıyla dinamik ısınma uygulamaları önerilmektedir.

Fear of Stigmatisation among Students with Disabilities in Austria
Authors: Zaussinger Sarah , Terzieva Berta
Published: December 2018

In Austria, 12% of all students in higher education report a disability that, at least somewhat, limits their study activities. As they still face many barriers throughout their studies, support services play a key part in their academic success. However, data from the Austrian Student Social Survey demonstrate that every second student with a disability is reluctant to contact fellow students, lecturers, or institutional support in case of study-related difficulties. One in four students with disabilities does not seek any assistance because of stigmatisation fear. With respect to these tendencies, our article examines factors that promote or inhibit the reluctance of students with disabilities to seek support due to fear of stigmatisation. For this purpose, we construct a binary indicator of stigma fear, which encompasses items concerning social isolation or drawbacks to academic opportunities, inhibitions about contacting people or disclosing one’s disability. In a regression model, we identify influential factors such as noticeability of disability and degree of study-related limitations as well as social factors like the feeling of anonymity and sense of belonging.
Pursuing Inclusive Higher Education in Egypt and Beyond through the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
Authors: Lord Janet E. , Stein Michael Ashley
Published: December 2018

Inclusive higher education is elusive for students with disabilities, especially in developing countries. The adoption and rapid ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) provides, if applied as its drafters intended, a “whole of institution” framework for its realization (CRPD Committee, 2016). Myriad legal, attitudinal, physical, and communication-based barriers limit or exclude participation. The individual impact of such discrimination is clear and carries lifelong consequences. Equally endemic are the broad societal and pedagogical effects of this exclusion. To illustrate: preventing persons with disabilities from Teacher Education courses impacts inclusive education in primary and secondary education; barring people with disabilities from academic programs in the sciences stifles innovation in assistive technology, health, and rehabilitation; and limiting access to studying the humanities hampers the emergence of disability studies as a rightful discipline. This article presents a framework for inclusive higher education in developing countries as contemplated by the CRPD. In doing so, we draw on field work conducting the first assessment of the accessibility of Egyptian public higher education to students with disabilities. We outline lessons that can be learned and pitfalls to be avoided both in Egypt and indeed for other countries in the Global South.
STANDARDIZATION IN THE SYSTEM OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING
Authors: Stoychyk Tetyana
Published: December 2018

The question of standardization of education as a component of determining the level of its quality is considered on the basis of regulation mechanisms and evaluative technologies – state attestation and accreditation of educational institutions.

The attempt to streamline the conceptual apparatus of the current legislation in the field of vocational education in accordance to the requirements of modernity in particular includes the terms "standard", "state social standards", "standard of education", "state standard of vocational (vocational) education", "service of education" ; certain objects of standardization (the content of vocational education and its formation system); forms and periodicity of checking the level of knowledge, skills and professional qualifications of students, students of vocational education institutions; means of qualification certification of graduates; educational and planning documentation.

It is emphasized the importance of introducing into the system of vocational education such concepts as "state standard" and "professional standard".

The author's vision of improvement of the current legislation is proposed by specifying the tasks of professional education in the light of the draft Law of Ukraine "About vocational education"; directing efforts to systematically support the image of an educational institution, ensuring high results of doing, adherence to the requirements of the implementation of the state plan and the placement of graduates; development of the state standards of vocational education for each working profession on the basis of a competent approach.

It is determined that other components of educational activity - management, financial-economic and commercial-production – need to be standardized.

The ways of further improvement of the professional world system are proposed: approximation of the content of the state standards of the VET to the requirements of employers, dynamic response to socio-demographic challenges, work on increasing the prestige of the workers 'professions, licensing of workers' professions and certification of UPTE.
PERIODIZATION OF DEVELOPMENT HISTORY OF TRAINING THE SPECIALISTS FOR FOOD AND PROCESSING INDUSTRY IN VOCATIONAL EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN WESTERN REGIONS OF UKRAINE (SECOND HALF OF THE XX – BEGINNING OF THE XXI CENTURY)
Authors: Tarasiuk Iryna
Published: December 2018

The paper is devoted to the consideration of the stages of development of training the specialists in the food and processing industry in vocational schools of the second half of the XX - beginning of the XXI century.

In this paper there are considered the peculiarities of the development of the food and processing industry in the postwar years in Ukraine, in particular in the western regions, during the period of industrialization, when the agenda was solving problems in the field of education, health care.

The food industry of the western regions in that period was represented by sugar industry, meat - processing, dairy, fruit and vegetable, baking, flour-grinding, confectionery industries. The sugar industry, which worked on local raw materials, was especially actively developed.

Industrialization in the western regions of Ukraine in the postwar period had its own peculiarities. First, there are recorded faster rates of industrial growth than in other regions of Ukraine. Secondly, new industries appeared. In the region, the most intensive production was observed.

The limited number of vocational training units for educating qualified mid-level specialists prevented the development of the food industry. In this regard, the advanced representatives of the local scientific and technological elite began to take measures to start vocational schools.

The establishment of educational institutions oriented at the training the specialists of the food industry in Ukraine is inextricably linked with the development of the sugar industry.

Vocational education of Ukraine is directly related to the socio-economic development of the state. Based on the main stages of economic development in the state, changes in vocational education have been analyzed.

The periodization of the history of the professional training of future specialists in the food and processing industry in vocational schools of the western regions of Ukraine (second half of the XX century – the beginning of the XXI century) was accomplished, and the main directions of changes for each period are considered.
