Authors:   St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Chernyakevich Elena Yu.
Published: May 2024

Introduction. Currently, the presence of procrastination causes contradictions in modern conditions of society, which places special demands on the independence, initiative, motivation and responsibility of the individual. Scientific research describes in sufficient detail the factors that cause procrastination. There is less research on the relationship between procrastination and such an aspect of personality as self-compassion. The purpose of our study is to examine the relationship between procrastination and self-compassion among university students. Materials and methods. The sample consisted of 157 students of the St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, of which 77 boys and 80 girls aged 19 to 22 years. The assumption that procrastination depends on self-compassion and self-esteem was tested using the Self-Compassion Scale by K. Neff, adapted by K.A. Chistopolskaya et al., test «Degree of severity of procrastination» (SVP) by M.A. Kiseleva, N.E. Shustova, O.V. Karina and the test «Personal Self-Esteem» by O.I. Motkova. The obtained empirical results were verified using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, Student's t-test, Pearson correlation analysis, and regression analysis. Results. It was revealed that 28% of students have a high level of self-compassion, 69% have an average level, 3% do not show self-compassion. The level of self-compassion among girls was significantly higher (79.3±10.0) than among boys (75.5±12.2). There is a negative relationship between indicators of self-compassion and indicators of procrastination: with a high level of self-compassion in a student, motivational insufficiency (r=- 0.24; p≤0.05), procrastination (r=-0.21; p≤0.05), anxiety (r=-0.31; p≤0.05). A positive relationship between self-compassion and self-esteem indicators was found. As a result of regression analysis, two components of self-compassion influencing procrastination were identified: self-isolation (B = -0.44) and excessive identification with negative emotions (B = -0.24). Conclusion. The results obtained show the need to develop self-compassion as a factor reducing personal procrastination.

Introduction. In the context of the need to search for new means and methods of improving the training process of adolescent tennis players, which are practically exhausted in terms of improving physical fitness and technical skills, a significant pedagogical task arises – to identify the possibility of effective influence on the sensory-perceptual processes of athletes as a factor of sensorimotor coordination of motor actions and cognitive functions. The purpose of the article is to determine the effectiveness and expediency of using two approaches to correcting and improving the sensory perception of tennis players aged 17-18 years – the exclusion of an acoustic stimulus during the game or the inclusion of additional means of influencing the visual analyzer. Methods and materials. The study involved tennis players aged 17-18 years with the first sports category, among 28 athletes who were divided into two groups: the first experimental group (EG-1) included 14 young athletes who practiced for 6 weeks (4 classes per week) according to a program based on hearing deprivation in the classroom. The second group, EG-2, was engaged in using special visual exercises as an out-of-training tool. Methods: literature analysis, pedagogical experiment, instrumental methods (Babolat Pure Drive Play, Eye-Tracking technology), questionnaires, methods of mathematical data processing (descriptive statistics, Student's t-test). Results. During the experiment, it was found that a group of tennis players who were engaged in a training program with the exception of hearing (EG-1) showed the best results in all the studied indicators. In particular, statistically significant differences were obtained between the groups in terms of fixation time at the target object, which improved in EG-1 by 33.7-37.8% (t=4.19-4.28, p<0.01), in EG-2 – by 10.7-11.9% (t=3.26-3.38, p<0.01), intergroup differences were established at t=4.65-4.79, p<0.01. Conclusion. The results obtained indicate that the indirect effect on the sensory perception of qualified tennis players through local sensory deprivation of one of the analyzers – acoustic, as a way to create complicated and variable conditions in the mode of a traditional training session, is more effective, expedient and easy to use, compared with the introduction for the same purposes, out-of-training tools, including direct effect on the visual analyzer using special exercises for the eyes.

Introduction. Teaching/learning and professional work at higher educational establishments, being an intellectually and emotionally intense activity, provokes stress in teachers and students, which has a negative impact on their health: fear, anxiety, fatigue, irritability, and nervousness. Game practice is the most effective method to relieve emotional tension and activate the educational process within the framework of students’ and teachers’ successful cooperation through communication. The purpose of the article was to assess the influence of game practice on the psychological state of teachers and students at higher school, as well as the levels of stress and happiness. Materials and methods. The study involved 69 university teachers (89% women, 19% men) from 29 regions of Russia and 176 students (51% males, 49% females) in the first-year undergraduate course at Volgograd State Technical University (Russian Federation). The study was carried out using a Google Forms survey. Results. The present study did not find any significant relationship between the manifestation of stress and the use of the game practice in the teaching process at higher educational establishments, which proved to be an unexpected result, since the lecturers (49%) and students (56%) recognised that game practice reduced their stress levels. However, the analysis of the revealed results showed that most of the students were affected by academicrelated stress: 46% of the respondents had high stress level, 34% – moderate stress level, and 20% – mild stress level. The stress level in the teachers’ professional activity also revealed a high rate – 52% of the respondents answered that they experienced professional stress quite often. At the same time, psychological well-being within the framework of game technologies had the following indicators: 54% of the teachers felt quite happy, 29% – absolutely happy. As to the students, they reported a middling indicator of happiness (46%). Conclusion. Game practice is a modern learning tool used at higher educational establishments, which improves the psychological well-being of students and teachers and is an effective way to combat stress and achieve increased happiness level. However, a more profound study of this subject, along with the development of due methodological recommendations, can contribute to more effective integration of game practice into the educational process and enhance the well-being of both students and teachers.

For this reason, studying the features of the content, language, and ethical standards of media texts on social networks, as the most popular among young people, is an urgent problem of modern science and education. The purpose of the presented research is to point out the media texts contents problematic issues, linguistic design and speech ethics, to substantiate the need to develop students' media literacy and suggest some practical work in this direction. Material and methods. The research material was media texts from social networks that are of educational nature. To study them, the following methods were used: the method of collecting media text data, the method of processing the obtained data (generalization, comparison, classification, systematization); method for interpreting research results. Research results. Within the framework of this study, it was possible to identify the main negative trends in network communication: simplification of the content of media texts, deviation from the norms of literary language and even their complete ignoring, colloquialization, use of rude colloquial, slang, obscene vocabulary; low quality language game, language cynicism. The analysis of educational and cultural-educational media texts makes it possible to outline some areas of practical activity aimed at fighting current negative tendencies of the Internet communication. Conclusion. The conclusion is made about the need to improve students’ media literacy as a means of representatives of the younger generation adequate interaction with the global information environment. A simulator will serve these purposes, which should include media texts of various genres and tasks for them. A distinctive feature of this simulator is that it takes into account modern trends in Russian education aimed at preserving and enhancing traditional spiritual and moral values. Media literacy is a step towards media culture, the formation of which is possible only in the case of a personal attitude to the native language.

Introduction. The realization of the right to education of children with chronic somatic diseases and in need of long-term treatment is possible by ensuring the personalization and individualization of the educational route. Information about psychological, pedagogical, social and medical characteristics of a pupil helps to develop and implement it. Purpose of the study: scientific substantiation, design and testing of the Map of individual special needs of hospital school students with data on educational, psychological and pedagogical characteristics of children and adolescents studying in hospital school in 2021-2022. Materials and methods. The participants were students of the flagship site of the project of hospital schools of Russia "UchimZnaem" in Moscow in the number of 396 people aged from 4 to 18 years. Methods: source analysis, design, psychological and pedagogical experiment, expert evaluation, statistical processing of results. Results. A map of individual special needs of children in need of long-term treatment was developed and implemented, which became an effective tool for implementing an individual educational route for hospital school students. It was revealed that the majority of respondents (96%), despite the possible risks of deterioration of their psychophysiological condition due to severe and prolonged treatment, are able to study in general education programs and do not have pronounced cognitive deficits, have high learning motivation, the indicators of development of higher mental functions correspond to age norms. But there were also revealed difficulties in 57% of schoolchildren related to communicative and emotional-volitional spheres. Conclusions. The proposed Map of individual special needs can be used as a tool for personalization and individualization of education of children in difficult life situations, revealing the key characteristics of schoolchildren. Also the obtained data can be used by psychologists, teachers, tutors when organizing training in medical hospitals and at home for children and adolescents with chronic somatic diseases, as they demonstrate possible risks in the development and psychological well-being of this category of students.

Introduction. The deep level of integration of cognitive and emotional processes must be taken into account in the modern education system and in the training of teaching staff. Adolescence is characterized by intense changes in the emotional sphere. At the same time, the data on emotional processes changes in adolescents are quite contradictory. In addition, most studies of emotions in this age period were carried out in Western culture and the problem of cross-cultural comparisons of emotional development patterns rarely attract the attention of researchers. To correctly measure a person’s emotional sphere, methods that have passed the validation procedure in the country where the work is planned are needed. One way to study emotional reactions is the IAPS database of emotionally evocative photographs. The aim of the study was to compare emotional performance at different stages of adolescence and early adulthood in as part of testing emotionally charged IAPS stimuli on a Russian adolescent sample. Materials and methods. The study involved 436 adolescents and young adults. Four groups were compared: 10-12 years old (49 boys and 51 girls), 13-14 years old (48 boys, 48 girls), 15-17 years old (45 boys, 75 girls) and 18-25 years old (24 men and 96 women). Participants in the study were required to evaluate the emotions that arose in response to the presentation of IAPS pictures on the screen on the scales of valence (feeling of pleasure - displeasure), arousal (strength of excitation) and dominance (feeling of control over the situation). Results. The valence, arousal and dominance scores were obtained for Russian samples 10-12 years old, 13-14 years old, 15-17 years old, 18-25 years old, with a high level of reliability. In addition, cross-cultural differences from American norms were demonstrated, emphasizing the necessity to use scores developed on representatives of the culture where the study is planned to be carry out. The study also showed that in adolescence there is a change in the affective space formed by the scale of valence and arousal, which indicates a crucial change in the emotional sphere during this period. The comparison showed significant differences on emotional scales for both positive and negative emotions between different age groups, indicating the dynamics of emotional development. The complex pattern of differences in valence, arousal and dominance scales between different age groups suggests non-linear changes. Conclusion. The standards for the valence, arousal and dominance scales of the IAPS database for Russian adolescents and young adults, which can be used to measure the emotional variables are presented in a study.

Introduction. Currently, there is conflicting evidence regarding the effects of digital gamification in education. The purpose of this study is to identify changes in the psycho-emotional state of university students in the conditions of using digital gamified resources in comparison with traditional training (face-to-face training), taking into account the cognitive load and if the resource itself is considered as a means of consolidating the studied material. Materials and methods. The study involved 80 students, as well as 17 experts. The study was accompanied by an initial diagnosis using the same test that was used in the final tests, and an analysis of the students' well-being, activity, and mood, according to the SAN Yu questionnaire. Doskin, self-assessment of the psycho-emotional state of students from pre- to post-test. The level of cognitive load was assessed by the expert group according to its three types: extraneous (external), basic (internal) and generative (relevant), according to the methodology of the Delphi method. The concordance coefficient was used to determine the consistency of expert opinions. Results. Digital gamification is effective in consolidating knowledge previously acquired by students if it has an optimal level of cognitive load, at the same time as the traditional teaching method: significant differences from pre- to post-test were observed in the control and experimental groups: the control group (t = -8.619, p < 0.0001) and the experimental group (t = -11.108, p < 0.0001). Activity (t = -3.021, p = 0.04) and selfassessment indicators of psychoemotional state (t = -2.908, p = 0.06) increased in the experimental group after using the digital corporate game, while the same changes were not observed in the control group. Conclusion. Forecasts regarding changes in the psycho-emotional state of students when using digital gamification, taking into account the optimal cognitive load, can be presented as cautiously optimistic. Keywords: digital gamification, psychoemotional state of university students, cognitive load, Delphi method, consolidation of students' knowledge

Authors:   Vyatka State University, Pomelov Vladimir B.
Published: May 2024

Introduction. The history of the creation of the first preschool institutions in Russia is of interest to modern Russian historical and pedagogical science. The purpose of the article is to characterize the work of the first Russian kindergartens and the ascetic educational activities of the pioneers of Russian preschool education. Materials and methods. The leading research methods are the analysis of scientific literature, the biographical method. The author actively used an axiological methodological approach, which made it possible to identify and evaluate the most important achievements of the Lyugebil spouses and other Russian teachers in opening the first kindergartens in Russia. Results. Spouses Sofya Andreevna (1824-1914) and Karl Yakimovich Lugebil (1830-1887/1888) entered the history of Russian education as the founders of the country's first kindergarten. In their work, the Lugebil couple used the experience of their foreign predecessors, first of all, the German teacher F. Froebel, the creator of the first kindergarten in Europe. They were active members of the Pedagogical Society, at whose meetings they closely communicated with K. D. Ushinsky, P. G. Redkin and other prominent Russian teachers of that time; they invariably supported their progressive position on various issues of education development and sought to promote the idea of widespread preschool education in Russia. Discussion. The advanced teacher E. N. Vodovozova believed that the Lugebil spouses in their work sought to avoid thoughtlessly following the experience of others, even famous teachers such as F. Froebel and his direct students and followers. The Lugebiles went their own unique way. The progressive magazine Sovremennik paid close attention to the work of the first kindergarten, and in its articles gave a full account of the educational work carried out in this institution. The first kindergarten gave an impetus to the opening of similar institutions throughout the country, including in the province. Conclusion. The practical activities of the Lugebil spouses and other Russian teachers of the second half of the XIX – early XX centuries included axiological, humanistic content and therefore had a noticeable impact on the development of preschool education in Russia. The opening day of the first kindergarten, September 27 (1863), is celebrated in modern Russia as the day of the preschool worker.

Introduction. Relations between China and Russia are becoming increasingly close, resulting in a high demand for Russian language specialists in the labor market. The lack of a language environment in Chinese universities is a pressing problem that teachers would like to solve. Therefore, the active implementation of digital technologies will undoubtedly compensate for this deficiency. The purpose of the study is to analyze the use of Chinese internet resources in teaching Russian language in Chinese universities. Materials and Methods. The study involved undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral students studying in the fields of "Russian as a Foreign Language", "Philology", "Linguistics" and "Russian Literature". A total of 117 respondents from nine higher education institutions in Russia and China. These institutions include Heilongjiang Institute of Foreign Languages, RUDN, Moscow State University, Moscow State Pedagogical University, Institute of China and Modern Asia of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Russian State University of Tourism and Service, Inner Mongolia University, and Yili Pedagogical University. The research methods employed in the study were analysis of scientific and scientific-methodological literature, observational (monitoring of online and distance learning), diagnostic (interviews with teachers, student surveys), and statistical analysis. Results. It was found that Chinese students do not know which form of education is most preferable outside of the Russian-speaking environment (35.9% – online, 37.61% – in-person, 38.46% – blended). However, respondents (67%) stated that various online resources provide significant help in learning the Russian language. The most popular programs and platforms were Chinese Dingding and Tencent Meeting, international Microsoft Teams and Zoom. Not all Russian-language dictionaries are available online for Chinese people, which is why the share of translation programs assisting in learning Russian language has increased (over 70%). The most frequently used Chinese dictionary was "Qianyiciba" (62%), and the most popular websites include Google Translate, Yudao Translator, Baidu Translate, and Bilibili. It has been proven that among the main problems hindering the process of learning Russian language in online and distance learning formats, psychological discomfort, lack of communication, increase in independent work, and individualization in learning considering the personal needs of students should be highlighted. Conclusion. The results obtained make it possible to determine the prospects for using digital resources in teaching Russian as a foreign language to Chinese students outside of the language environment.

Introduction. The relevance of the problem of studying and preserving artifacts of educational everyday life of school buildings is due to large-scale renovation and construction of educational infrastructure in Russia. Frequently, during renovation, along with the old walls, historical artifacts of everyday educational life irrevocably go into the past, and the history of the school itself disappears with its established traditions, events and ways of life. In this regard, it is very important to preserve and integrate historical artifacts of everyday school life into new school interiors, which makes it possible to create a comfortable and emotionally safe educational environment for students without losing the historical school identity. The purpose of the research is to identify approaches to representing the history of a school through the preservation of artifacts of educational everyday life in the process of renovation and construction of new school buildings. Materials and methods. Systemic and environmental approaches were used to determine the significance of the problem of preserving and representing artifacts of educational everyday life in the process of renovation of outdated funds and new construction of school buildings to maintain the emotional connection of modern students with the historical heritage of the school, its traditions, way of life, and identity. The research methods determined: analysis of theoretical sources and existing practices of working with artifacts during major repairs and construction of schools, in-depth interviews with representatives of the administration of educational organizations, photographic fixation of artifacts available in educational organizations, expert discussions at round tables and seminars at events of various levels. Results. Based on the data obtained as a result of the conducted research, five approaches to the preservation and representation of their history by educational organizations have been identified, namely: the building is considered as an artifact of a certain historical period, there is a partial preservation of interior artifacts of the past, new artifacts are being developed, a museum of artifacts of educational everyday life is being created, artifacts are used in the educational process. Conclusion. The implementation of the research results will allow us to develop new action algorithms in the renovation and design of schools, taking into account their cultural and historical heritage through the preservation of artifacts of educational everyday life and their careful inclusion in modern and updated interiors.

Introduction. The teacher’s profession is one of the most important in any state. The modern teacher, recognising that the human being is the main subject and beneficiary of development, must possess a broad range of professional competencies and be fully prepared to engage in pedagogical activities in the constantly changing conditions that require non-standard approaches and due psychological training. The purpose of the article is to describe the content and the pedagogical conditions of the young teacher’s psychological training in supplementary professional education. Methods. A total of 213 young teachers (aged 20-30) from Sevastopol and its surrounding administrative region, having work experience from 1 to 3 years, took part in the preliminary testing; 50 young professionals took part in the formative and final stages of the experimental work (25 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group). Research methods: testing, survey, questioning, mathematical statistics methods: Pearson's chi-squared test. Data calculation was made using SPSS software, version 13.0. Results. The incoming testing showed that most young teachers are characterised by insufficient knowledge of the main issues of age-specific and pedagogical psychology, and the inability to apply psychological skills in practical pedagogical activity; novice specialists show unstable interests, an average level of communicative activity, down-toearth aspirations, anxiety, particularity of thinking. A specialised course “Psychological training of a young teacher as a condition for the realisation of new educational standards in training and education of children” was developed on the basis of the obtained data. The practical implementation of this form of learning provided for a sequence of training activities aimed at a change from the minimal reproductive level to an utmostly creative, highly productive level of mastering psychological knowledge, skills and abilities. Positive dynamics were noted in the components of young teachers’ psychological readiness for professional activity: cognitive (p<0.01), operational (p<0.01), motivational (p<0.01), communicative (p<0.01), emotional and volitional (p<0.01). Young teachers extended their knowledge of psychology, mastered new skills and abilities in practical professional activity, as concerns interaction with learners, especially with “troubled” children; developed communicative properties and features of interpersonal interaction with colleagues and students, showed increased positive motivation and alleviated emotional strain. Conclusion. The obtained results confirm the expediency of introducing psychological training for young teachers into the system of supplementary professional education, which involves the use of active forms and methods of training.

Introduction. Expanded digitalization widens the gap between the increasing immersion of young people in the digital space and their ability to identify, manage and resist the destructive potential of the information flow of the Internet environment. Increasing threats to personal security and improved technologies for manipulating public opinion and consciousness makes developed critical thinking skills and increased resistance to manipulative and destructive online content particularly relevant for the young generation The paper aims to determine the potential of an educational game in developing critical thinking skills among students in relation to manipulations on the Internet. Materials and methods. 147 students of Tomsk State University (Russian Federation) took part in the pilot study. Research methods were: 1) a questionnaire for self-assessment of the ability to identify manipulative techniques and assess the impact of information on own psycho-emotional state; 2) a test task for forming skills in recognizing manipulative techniques. Statistical data was processed using the Mann Whitney U test and the Wilcoxon t-test. Research results. A pilot experimental study revealed the following: 1) respondents tend to overestimate their ability to determine the manipulative potential of Internet content, as well as their ability to resist it and realize its impact on their psycho-emotional state; 2) after the game, the experimental group demonstrates increased skills in identifying all the five manipulation techniques (the number of respondents able to recognize a conspiracy theory increased by 6.8 times, emotional speech by 1.4 times; scapegoating by 7.6 times; attacking by 1.3 times, and a false dichotomy by 10.7 times); 3) in recognizing three manipulation techniques, the experimental and control groups show significant differences (p <0.001). After the game, the participants demonstrate the skills of accurately recognizing conspiracy theory, scapegoating, and false dichotomy. Conclusion. The suggested gaming practice has a high potential for developing critical thinking skills in relation to manipulation techniques on the Internet (in the context of digital interaction and information impact).

MONETARY POLICY DYNAMICS IN NIGERIA: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCES FROM BAYESIAN VECTOR AUTOREGRESSION WITH STOCHASTIC VOLATILITY
Authors: Ojo Oluwadare O. , Owonipa Oluremi R.
Published: May 2024

In this paper, we examine the dynamics of monetary policy in Nigeria with Bayesian approach to a vector autoregression (VAR). We construct and estimate Bayesian Vector Autoregression with Stochastic Volatility (BVAR-SV) model and extract important policy inputs from the model. Nigeria economy is unstable and it is a known fact that changes to monetary policy affects performance of some macroeconomic variables. The BVAR has the ability to capture sudden changes and nonlinearities arising from the interaction among macroeconomic variables and associated shocks. The study uses monthly data during the period 2003M01 till 2023M12 with three macroeconomic variables namely; inflation rate, money supply, and interest rate. A Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm that allows for Bayesian estimation and prediction is employed. Results show that there is strong evidence of monetary policy playing a significant role in explaining the dynamics of interest rate while the impulse responses for the variables to a monetary policy shock do change significantly over time. Also, the monetary policy exert less significant influence in terms of money supply and inflation than interest rate in explaining the dynamics in of monetary policy. It is recommended that BVAR should be also be extended to other macroeconomic variables to examine the effects on monetary policy dynamics.

Published: May 2024

This manuscript investigates the presence and concentration of heavy metals, namely zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), and cadmium (Cd), in water and two commonly consumed fish species (Tilapia and Catfish) from the Babban Wuya Madachi River. Heavy metal contamination poses significant risks to both human health and environmental sustainability. The study employs Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) to analyze heavy metal concentrations in water and fish samples collected from ten different points along the river. The mean concentration of Zn, Cu, Pb, and Cd in the Tilapia fish, Catfish and water are 50.85 ± 0.22, 2.84 ± 0.27, 7.89 ± 0.78, 0.80 ± 0.02 mg/kg; 33.87 ± 1.08, 1.49 ± 0.10, 3.74 ± 0.42, 0.33 ± 0.01mg/kg; and 0.07 ± 0.00, 0.09 ± 0.00, 0.05 ± 0.02, BDL mg/L respectively. Results indicate that water concentrations generally fall below World Health Organization (WHO) standards, while the concentrations of certain heavy metals in fish samples exceed WHO limits, notably Zn, Pb, and Cd. Moreover, concentration of Cu in fish samples is within the standard WHO limit of 2.25 mg/kg and in water its concentration is below the standard limit of 2mg/L. It has been reported that, heavy metals such as Zinc, Cd and Pb has a unique behavior that once absorbed by man it retained in the body system for long and accumulate to cause kidney problems and born demineralization through direct bone damage or indirect through renal dysfunction. The findings underscore the necessity of continued monitoring...

تطرق الباحثان في مقدمة بحثه الى العملية التعليمية اذ ان التقدم العلمي الهائل في المعرفة له الاثر البالغ في احداث فجوة بين الدول من حيث تقدمها، ونجد أنفسنا كدولة نامية في امس الحاجة الى الاستفادة من التطورات الحاصلة في مختلف المجالات وذلك عن طريق استخدام الاستراتيجيات الحديثة والتي تساعد على إيصال المعلومات بأبسط الطرق وايسرها وتختصر الكثير من الجهد والفرق وتراعي الفوارق الفردية بين الطلبة.
وهناك عدة استراتيجيات تعلمية يمكن ان تصبح جزءا من المنهج التعليمــي في تعلم المهارات الاساسية بكرة اليد ومنها استراتيجية التعليم المتمايز ومدى اهميته في تحقيق النجاح و يمكن المعلم من التعرف على التحصيل المعرفي وذلك بقياس حصائل العملية التعليمية من المعارف والمعلومات الأساسية في المجال التخصصي.
وتبلورت مشكلة البحث من خلال اهتمام الباحث بلعبة كرة اليد وكونه مدرس تربية رياضية لاحظ الباحث إهمال استخدام وتنوع طرق التدريس الحديثة في تعلم الاداء المهاري بكرة اليد مما أدى الى إهمال تحسين الأداء بالصورة المطلوبة وبالتالي ضعف في التحصيل المعرفي لمادة كرة اليد، وسبب ذلك أن معظم الطرائق والأساليب المستعملة في التدريس لا تعطي دوراً كبيراً للطالب في بناء المعرفة، مما يتسبب بضعف في التحصيل المعرفي وهذا ما يعول دون تنمية الجوانب التي ترفع من تحسين الأداء المهاري للعبة كرة اليد.
استعمل الباحثان المنهج التجريبي بأسلوب المجموعات المتكافئة مجموعة تجريبية ومجموعة ضابطة , لملائمته في حل مشكلة البحث، وتمل مجمع البحث بطلاب المرحلة الثانية للموسم الدراسي 2022-2023  والبالغ عددهم (96 طالب) .
أما عينة البحث فكانت شعبتي ( ب و ج )، إذ بلغ عدد افراد العينة (62) طالباً، مقسمين الى مجموعتين الضابطة والتجريبية وبواقع (31) طالب في كل مجموعة.

والتعرف على حجم الاثر للمجموعتين التجريبيتين بتأثير تمرينات البلايومترك لكل متغيرات أوجه القوة العضلية والانجاز لدى الرباعين.
Effect of Longevity on Economic Growth, Accounting for Variability in Demographic Transition: Evidence for Pakistan using ARDL Bounds Testing Approach
Authors: Mudasser Muhammad , Yiridoe Emmanuel K.
Published: May 2024

Rising longevity due to access to better health services affects the growth and composition of the population differently than birth rates. In addition, empirical evidence of the effects of rising longevity on standards of living is ambiguous. From the perspective of developing nations, it is important to understand how rising longevity affects national prosperity, as this allows governments to develop programs for increasing investment in the health sector. This study explicitly tested varying intertemporal impacts of rising longevity on the GDP per capita of Pakistan between 1967 and 2020. An Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to cointegration was used to estimate and compare short-run and long-run estimates of longevity. The results indicated that a 1% increase in longevity increased the growth rate of GDP per capita in Pakistan by 0.64% in the long-run. In addition, a 1% increase in life expectancy at birth above 62 years increased economic growth by an additional 0.009%. In general, the estimated effect of increased longevity varied by stages of demographic transition in Pakistan.

Published: May 2024

Objective: Since treatment of pterygium by topical and systemic medications is not effective, surgical treatment remains the only way to resolve the problem. This study was therefore aimed to evaluate the outcome of primary pterygium excision with amniotic membrane graft among patient with eye diseases in rural Bangladesh.
Methodology: This study was conducted at the Pangsha Eye Hospital of District Rajbari among a total 280 pre-selected eye patients having primary pterygium over the period of 7 years (January 2012-June 2019). Surgical excision was performed with transplantation of preserved amniotic membrane on to the bare sclera. Every patient was followed up for at least next 6 months.
Results: The results were evaluated in terms of recurrent pterygium growth and related complications. Of total 280 patients, pterygium was excision both of 138 (49.29%) being male and 142(50.71%) being female with mean ages of 43.36±10.88. The pterygium extended on to the corneas for 4.76±1.4 mm (range 3 to 8) mm. Only 11(4%) eyes demonstrated recurrent pterygium. Seven of them were male and 4 were female which was managed by second grafting leading to complete resolution. Of various complications, mild hematoma was observed in 3 cases, and, in 2 cases were had mild sclera dryness in bare scleral area after pterygium excision which were managed by topical steroid and artificial tear.
Conclusion: Findings of this study yielded that primary pterygium excision with amniotic membrane transplantation is remains a safe and effective surgical technique with minimum recurrence rate.

Background: Gallstone disease is a common surgical problem requiring cholecystectomy. It is known to produce diverse histopathological changes in the gallbladder ranging from acute or chronic inflammation to metaplasias and even malignancies.
Objective: The aim of this study was to emphasize the importance of a detailed microscopic examination and to study the range of histopathological lesions in cholecystectomy specimens.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of 1200 cholecystectomy specimens received in the Department of Pathology, Jahurul Islam Medical College Hospital (JIMCH) over a period of 6 years from January 2017 to December 2022. Clinical details and histopathological data were retrieved from the records. The variety of histomorphological changes in the resected gall bladder was studied.
Results: There were 1200 cases consisting of 516 (43%) males and 684 (57%) females with M;F ratio of 1: 1.33. Maximum number of patients (28.25%) being 41 to 50 years old. Most common clinical symptom were pain in the upper abdomen and right upper back (91.4%). Histopathologically, the most common diagnosis was chronic cholecystitis (66.75%), followed by acute on chronic cholecystitis (26.25%), gangrenous cholecystitis (3.25%), empyema gallbladder (1.5%), mucocele (0.75%), xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (0.50%) and adenocarcinoma gallbladder (1%).
Conclusion: Cholecystectomy performed for a common condition like gallstone disease can result in a diverse and wide spectrum of histopathological lesions ranging from benign diagnosis to an unexpected gallbladder malignancy.
