FEATURES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ADAPTATION TO SCHOOL OF FIRST-GRADERS WITH SPEECHDISORDERS IN INCLUSIVE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Taran Oksana , Salionovych Marharyta
Published: February 2022

The article deals with the problem of psychological adaptation to school of first-graders with speech disorders in inclusive educational environment. The article outlines the essence of the concepts of adaptation to school, which is understood as the adaptation of children to a modified system of requirements, norms and rules associated with the implementation of educational activities. It is determined by readiness to accept the role of a pupil, the formation of a positive attitude to school studies and a sense of emotional comfort in a new social space. The problem of disadaptation to school is determined; it is caused by a number of factors: internal (school readiness, peculiarities of psychophysical development, brain dysfunction, etc.) and external (irrational organization of learning, inconsistency of teaching methods and technologies with the age and functionality of children, etc.). The article substantiates the relevance of encouraging children with speech disorders to participate in inclusive learning in order to socialize them.
The authors present the results of the empirical study according to which the personal, socio-psychological and psychophysiological aspects of the psychological adaptation of first grade pupils with speech disorders are formed at an insufficient level. Insufficient adaptability to school of this category of children happens due to personal immaturity, predominance of the game motive and insufficient acceptance of the role of a school student. Insufficient adaptation to the psychophysical aspect confirms the presence of pupils with speech disorders of endogenous factors, which cause their difficulties in learning, in particular neurological disorders manifested in rapid fatigue, difficulties to concentrate and slowing in the pace of processing educational material.That is, speech disorders are a destabilizing factor in the process of psychological adaptation of children to school. According to the results of the survey carried out by specialists of the support team the authors found insufficient level of professional competence in relation to the psychological adaptation of first-graders with speech disorders to school in inclusive environment. Thus, the great majority of specialists need help in increasing their professional competence in relation to the specified problems in the format of seminars, trainings and webinars.
ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS OFEMPATHY AS A PROFESSIONALLY SIGNIFICANT FEATURE OF A SOCIAL WORKER
Authors: Leshchuk Halyna
Published: February 2022

The article characterizes empathy as a professionally significant feature of a social worker. The significance of empathy for social workers is substantiated due to the fact that social workers are forced to be in close and intense interaction with different people, in an emotionally tense atmosphere, which can cause significant damage to their health and professional activities. The main directions of scientific research of the phenomenon of empathy are outlined, the analysis of scientific sources allowed to come to the conclusion that empathy was most actively studied in the problematic field of psychology, ethics and philosophy. The main approaches to defining the essence of empathy are determined: epistemological, ethical and integrative. The main types and forms of empathy are indicated: short-term and long-term empathy, adequate and inadequate empathy, situational and dispositional empathy. It was found out that the formation of empathy is influenced by socio-demographic, psychological and external factors. Factors that significantly complicate the development of empathy include egocentrism, emotional coldness, instability of character, excessive self-control, and so on. It is noted that interpersonal interaction between a social worker and a client is a complex two-way process that requires empathic response not only from social workers, so empathy should be developed in clients and it is important to motivate them to communicate with the specialist. We see a promising direction of further research in the study of techniques of balanced interpersonal interaction, which, on the one hand, will promote sufficient expression of empathy on the part of the social worker, on the other hand, will help to resist his/her emotional exhaustion. The essential characteristics of the social workers’ empathy are defined: they are humanistic attitude to the client, the two-sided nature of the manifestation of empathy, the correlation of empathy with the psychological mechanism of identification and the combination of three components in empathy (cognitive, emotional, activity components).
MODELS OF SOCIAL POLICY AND SOCIAL WORK IN THE EUROPEAN UNION: FEATURES AND CHARACTERISTICS
Authors: Nykolaieva Valentyna , Malyarchuk Natalia , Ovcharova Lidiia
Published: February 2022

The article analyzes the range of European models of social policy and highlights some features for further consideration concerning the implementation of the EU social standards in the social work system of Ukraine. The following research methods were used to clarify the current state of the problem: analysis, comparison and generalization of data from scientific and educational literature and periodicals, etc.
It is proved that in the works of Ukrainian researchers the main emphasis is placed on the correlation between social policy and social work.
Different classifications of social policy models, social protection and social services are given by features: the role of the state, the basics of distribution, the correspondence of economic and social policy in the implementation of an effective social work system. Basic models of social protection in the countries with industrialized economy are given according to E. Andersen: liberal, conservative and social-democratic. According to R. Titmuss’s classification, there are 3 models: residual, institutional-redistributive, industrial achievements / action. Various pension systems according to the classification of J. Paime are revealed: institutional, residual, for merits at work, civil. Quite an interesting distribution of models of social protection, among which the lion's share belongs to European countries, can be traced in the works of S. Leibfried and R. Mishra, where in addition to the residual and institutional models, there is also a "socialist" model. The research of the Slovak scholar M. Beblavy, who made an attempt to typologize the model of the welfare state of Central and Eastern Europe, deserves attention. A. Antonnen and J. Sipila are noted; they classify the models of social services in European countries according to the level of development of various social services and from the view of institutional subjects. Another effective model of the welfare state is described – it is a social investment welfare state.
Thus, extensive experience in implementing social policy and social work in the European Union has shown that these countries have gone from charity in social support to the formation of a "welfare state" that guarantees its citizens an optimal system of social security and social protection.

Published: February 2022

The improvement of students’ performance has become an increasing priority for teachers over the last decade. Hence, the focus should be directed to the development of integrated, generalizable, and transferable skills among our learners. The purpose of this study is to enhance the students’ performance in Science VI using the V+HOP Combo (Video-aided instruction, Hands-On, and Peer learning). A descriptive research design was used in this study to determine the effect of the intervention on the academic performance of the participants who were the 10 Grade Six pupils of Jose Rizal Elementary School enrolled in the School Year 2020-2021 who got an average of 79 and below from the first quarter to the third quarter. Results of the pretest and posttest were used to determine if there is a significant difference in their performance. The test of difference or t-test showed that utilizing of V+HOP Combo significantly improved the scores of the students.  This proves that the strategy is effective and helpful in enhancing the academic performance of the learners involved in this study. Consequently, it is recommended to schools and teachers the use of V+HOP Combo to increase and enhance the students’ performance in all subject areas.  Also, researchers are encouraged to explore other strategies that could be integrated into the V+HOP COMBO to further increase its efficacy in boosting student performance.

A mulher negra no capitalismo dependente: aportes sobre cidadania e opressões no Brasil
Authors: Martins da Silva Sara Cristina
Published: February 2022

No presente trabalho, analisamos a situação da mulher negra inserida no sistema capitalista dependente que se desenvolve no Brasil e se apresenta como fonte de opressões e desigualdades. A partir das teorias da dependência e decolonial pretendemos discutir as formas do nó de opressões que afligem a condição de mulher negra, interpelada pelo racismo, pelo machismo e pelo capitalismo.  Para tanto, utilizamos a análise bibliográfica de teóricos marxistas, feministas e intelectuais negras que nos situam no debate histórico na busca romper com pensamentos coloniais. Como resultado, percebemos que é imperativo pensar a lógica capitalista, não apenas como um sistema econômico, mas como mantenedor de desigualdades, que impede o exercício de uma cidadania plena e do gozo de direitos por parte das mulheres negras e que as análises sobre esse sistema são incompletas se não incorporados os marcados de raça, gênero e classe social.

Published: February 2022

Este artigo, resultado de uma pesquisa realizada para o Mestrado em Gestão e Avaliação da Educação Pública (CAED/UFJF) busca apresentar o processo de acolhida e permanência dos alunos com deficiência que estudam nas graduações do Instituto de Ciências Humanas da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais-ICH/UFJF. Nosso objetivo foi investigar as principais barreiras no processo de acolhimento e permanência dos alunos com deficiência, no ICH/UFJF. Através de pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e pesquisa de campo, buscamos traçar um panorama da acolhida e permanência dos alunos com deficiência matriculados em cursos de graduação no âmbito do referido instituto. Nosso intuito é propor reflexões sobre a importância de lutarmos por uma educação superior mais justa e inclusiva, haja vista que atualmente existem leis que garantem o acesso das pessoas com deficiência no ensino superior, mas é necessário efetivar a operacionalização dessas leis. O desenvolvimento conceitual tem por base autores que visam despertar reflexões e ações afirmativas como Chauí (2003), Mantoan (2003), Mendes (2006), Prieto (2006), Antunes (2012), Ramos (2010), Cabral e Santos (2017), dentre outros. Ao fim de nossa investigação, concluímos que as políticas públicas voltadas para a inclusão de pessoas com deficiência no Ensino Superior começam a tomar forma, porém ainda é necessário um longo caminho a percorrer para que ações inclusivas efetivas façam parte da cultura universitária. Reestruturar espaços e consolidar ações educativas e de atendimento aos educandos são os pontos mais urgentes a serem tratados.

A educação superior brasileira tem vivenciado desde a década de 1990 uma evidente expansão, principalmente no que tange matriculas, cursos e instituições de ensino superior, tal fato implica diretamente na política de financiamento das universidades públicas, nessa direção as universidades estaduais enfrentam dificuldades especificas, uma vez que nem todas possuem destinação específica de recurso previsto na sua legislação. Diante desse cenário, esse artigo tem por objetivo analisar a política de financiamento da Universidade do Estado do Amapá (UEAP) e as tensões que têm vivenciado nos últimos dez anos, dado o oscilante movimento de repasses recebidos do Governo do Estado do Amapá. Para tanto, essa investigação pautou-se na abordagem quali-quantitativa, por meio de pesquisa do tipo estudo de caso, realizou-se: levantamento bibliográfico, coleta de dados no Balanço Geral do Estado do Amapá, Censo da Educação Superior. Os resultados da pesquisa evidenciaram que há muita fragilidade nos repasses financeiros por parte do governo estadual, uma vez que foi identificado uma significativa anulação de recursos orçados no período analisado, além disso, os recursos oriundos do ICMS, conforme determina alei de criação dessa universidade não são repassados.
ACESSO DE ESTUDANTES COM DEFICIÊNCIA NA EDUCAÇÃO SUPERIOR

Published: February 2022

O texto analisa avanços e desafios do acesso de estudantes com deficiência à educação superior, no cenário de globalização e de políticas neoliberais, dos compromissos e acordos firmados pelo Brasil com a agenda internacional de Educação para Todos (1990) e com os princípios da Declaração de Salamanca (2004) que anunciaram um novo paradigma para a educação especial, o processo de inclusão. A partir do fosso das desigualdades no sistema capitalista, busca apreender as políticas de acesso, demostrando contradições presentes nesse movimento que interferem no acesso à educação superior. Nesse cenário, considerando as políticas de educação superior materializadas em diferentes governos, destacam-se as ações destinadas às pessoas com deficiência. A pesquisa apresenta dados sobre características do acesso desse grupo aos cursos de graduação no Brasil a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e exploratória, em um recorte temporal de 2013 a 2019 para a coleta das informações do Censo da Educação Superior, a partir das variáveis matrículas, vagas, modalidade do curso, ingresso, sexo, raça e grau acadêmico, por categoria administrativa e pessoa com deficiência. Os dados apontam um avanço no processo de inclusão da pessoa com deficiência em cursos superiores, principalmente no que se refere à ampliação de políticas destinadas a esse grupo; e os desafios emergem da necessidade de ampliação do acesso, que se destaca timidamente, e da falta de políticas de permanência, uma vez que o processo de inclusão ultrapassa o simples ingresso.
Using carbon-14 and carbon-13 measurements for source attribution of atmospheric methane in the Athabasca oil sands region
Authors: Gonzalez Moguel Regina , Vogel Felix , Ars Sébastien , Schaefer Hinrich , Turnbull Jocelyn C. , Douglas Peter M. J.
Published: February 2022

Abstract. The rapidly expanding and energy-intensive production from the Canadian oil sands, one of the largest oil reserves globally, accounts for almost
12 % of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions according to inventories. Developing approaches for evaluating reported methane (CH4)
emission is crucial for developing effective mitigation policies, but only one study has characterized CH4 sources in the Athabasca oil
sands region (AOSR). We tested the use of 14C and 13C carbon isotope measurements in ambient CH4 from the AOSR to
estimate source contributions from key regional CH4 sources: (1) tailings ponds, (2) surface mines and processing facilities, and
(3) wetlands. The isotopic signatures of ambient CH4 indicate that the CH4 enrichments measured at the site were mainly
influenced by fossil CH4 emissions from surface mining and processing facilities (56 ± 18 %), followed by fossil CH4
emissions from tailings ponds (34 ± 18 %) and to a lesser extent modern CH4 emissions from wetlands (10 ± <1 %). Our results confirm the importance of tailings ponds in regional CH4 emissions and show that this method can successfully
distinguish wetland CH4 emissions. In the future, the isotopic characterization of CH4 sources and measurements from different
seasons and wind directions are needed to provide a better source attribution in the AOSR.
Classification of spectral fine structures of Saturn kilometric radiation
Authors: Fischer Georg , Taubenschuss Ulrich , Píša David
Published: February 2022

Abstract. The spectral fine structures of Saturn kilometric radiation (SKR) are best investigated with the Wideband Receiver (WBR) of Cassini's Radio and Plasma Wave Science (RPWS) instrument, with which measured radio fluxes can be displayed in time-frequency spectra with resolutions of 125 ms and 0.1 kHz. We introduce seven different classes of SKR fine structures ranging from dots (one class for 0-dimensional objects) over lines (four classes of 1-dimensional objects being horizontal, vertical, or with negative or positive slope) to areal features (one class for 2-dimensional objects). Additionally, we define a 7th class containing special structures named according to their appearance in time-frequency spectra. These special features are named rain, striations, worms, and caterpillar, and the latter two have never been described in the literature so far. Using this newly defined classification scheme we classify features in spectra at low frequencies in the baseband of the 80-kHz WBR and at medium frequencies around 325 kHz. A statistics of the occurrence of various classes and sub-classes shows some notable characteristics: Lines with a positive slope are much more common at medium frequencies than at low frequencies, and vertical lines are almost absent at low frequencies. The particular fine structure of striations (group of narrowbanded lines with predominantly negative slopes) is quite common below 80 kHz, but less common near 325 kHz. At these medium frequencies, the lines rather look like interrupted striations, which we term with the name 'rain'. We also find rare instances of striations with a positive slope, and rare instances of absorption signatures within areal features. The newly introduced sub-classes of worms (lines oscillating in frequency) and caterpillar occur almost exclusively below 80 kHz. Caterpillars have a typical bandwidth of 10 kHz, a constant frequency below 40 kHz for several hours, and they are mostly observed beyond distances of 15 Saturn radii around local dusk. We discuss the implications of our findings in view of the many theories about spectral fine structures of auroral radio emissions.
Meteorological and hydrological data from the Alder Creek watershed, SW Ontario
Authors: Wiebe Andrew James , Rudolph David L.
Published: February 2022

Abstract. Data for small to mid-sized watersheds are seldom publicly available but may be representative of diverse types of hydrological contexts when assessing patterns. These types of data may also prove valuable for informing numerical experimentation and practical modelling. This paper presents data collected in the Alder Creek watershed, located within the Grand River basin in Ontario, Canada. The Alder Creek watershed provides source water from the aquifers of the Waterloo Moraine for multiple well fields that supply the cities of Kitchener and Waterloo. Recharge rates and human impacts on streamflow are important topics for the watershed, and many numerical models of the area have been constructed. In order to support these types of analyses, field equipment was deployed within the watershed between 2013 and 2018 to monitor groundwater levels, stream stage, soil moisture, soil temperature, rainfall, and other weather parameters. The available data are described, complementary information is presented, and examples of possible analyses are cited and illustrated. The data presented and described in this paper are available at https://doi.org/10.20383/101.0178 (Wiebe et al., 2019).
A new state-dependent parameterization for the free drift of sea ice
Authors: Brunette Charles , Tremblay L. Bruno , Newton Robert
Published: February 2022

Abstract. Free-drift estimates of sea ice motion are necessary to produce a seamless observational record combining buoy and satellite-derived sea ice motion
vectors. We develop a new parameterization for the free drift of sea ice based on wind forcing, wind turning angle, sea ice state variables
(thickness and concentration), and estimates of the ocean currents. Given the fact that the spatial distribution of the wind–ice–ocean transfer
coefficient has a similar structure to that of the spatial distribution of sea ice thickness, we take the standard free-drift equation and introduce
a wind–ice–ocean transfer coefficient that scales linearly with ice thickness. Results show a mean bias error of −0.5 cm s−1
(low-speed bias) and a root-mean-square error of 5.1 cm s−1, considering daily buoy drift data as truth. This represents a 35 %
reduction of the error on drift speed compared to the free-drift estimates used in the Polar Pathfinder dataset (Tschudi et al., 2019b). The
thickness-dependent transfer coefficient provides an improved seasonality and long-term trend of the sea ice drift speed, with a minimum (maximum)
drift speed in May (October), compared to July (January) for the constant transfer coefficient parameterizations which simply follow the peak in
mean surface wind stresses. Over the 1979–2019 period, the trend in sea ice drift in this new model is +0.45 cm s−1 per decade
compared with +0.39 cm s−1 per decade from the buoy observations, whereas there is essentially no trend in a free-drift
parameterization with a constant transfer coefficient (−0.09 cm s−1 per decade) or the Polar Pathfinder free-drift input data
(−0.01 cm s−1 per decade). The optimal wind turning angle obtained from a least-squares fitting is 25∘, resulting in a mean
error and a root-mean-square error of +3 and 42∘ on the direction of the drift, respectively. The ocean current estimates obtained from the
minimization procedure resolve key large-scale features such as the Beaufort Gyre and Transpolar Drift Stream and are in good agreement with ocean
state estimates from the ECCO, GLORYS, and PIOMAS ice–ocean reanalyses, as well as geostrophic currents from dynamical ocean topography, with a
root-mean-square difference of 2.4, 2.9, 2.6, and 3.8 cm s−1, respectively. Finally, a repeat of the analysis on two sub-sections of the
time series (pre- and post-2000) clearly shows the acceleration of the Beaufort Gyre (particularly along the Alaskan coastline) and an expansion of
the gyre in the post-2000s, concurrent with a thinning of the sea ice cover and the observed acceleration of the ice drift speed and ocean
currents. This new dataset is publicly available for complementing merged observation-based sea ice drift datasets that include satellite and buoy
drift records.
Modelling surface temperature and radiation budget of snow-covered complex terrain
Authors: Robledano Alvaro , Picard Ghislain , Arnaud Laurent , Larue Fanny , Ollivier Inès
Published: February 2022

Abstract. The surface temperature controls the temporal evolution of the snowpack, playing a key role in metamorphism and snowmelt. It shows large spatial variations in mountainous areas because the surface energy budget is affected by the topography, for instance because of the modulation of the short-wave irradiance by the local slope and the shadows and the short-wave and long-wave re-illumination of the surface from surrounding slopes. These topographic effects are often neglected in large-scale models considering the surface to be flat and smooth. Here we aim at estimating the surface temperature of snow-covered mountainous terrain in clear-sky conditions in order to evaluate the relative importance of the different processes that control the spatial variations. For this, a modelling chain is implemented to compute the surface temperature in a kilometre-wide area from local radiometric and meteorological measurements at a single station. The first component of this chain is the Rough Surface Ray-Tracing (RSRT) model. Based on a photon transport Monte Carlo algorithm, this model quantifies the incident and reflected short-wave radiation on every facet of the mesh describing the snow-covered terrain. The second component is a surface scheme that estimates the terms of the surface energy budget from which the surface temperature is eventually estimated. To assess the modelling chain performance, we use in situ measurements of surface temperature and satellite thermal observations (Landsat 8) in the Col du Lautaret area, in the French Alps. The results of the simulations show (i) an agreement between the simulated and measured surface temperature at the station for a diurnal cycle in winter within 0.2 ∘C; (ii) that the spatial variations in surface temperature are on the order of 5 to 10 ∘C in the domain and are well represented by the model; and (iii) that the topographic effects ranked by importance are the modulation of solar irradiance by the local slope, followed by the altitudinal variations in air temperature (lapse rate), the re-illumination by long-wave thermal emission from surrounding terrain, and the spectral dependence of snow albedo. The changes in the downward long-wave flux because of variations in altitude and the absorption enhancement due to multiple bounces of photons in steep terrain play a less significant role. These results show the necessity of considering the topography to correctly assess the energy budget and the surface temperature of snow-covered complex terrain.

Abstract. Wind farm flow control (WFFC) is a topic of interest at several research institutes, industry and certification agencies world-wide. For reliable performance assessment of the technology, the efficiency and the capability of the models applied to WFFC should be carefully evaluated. To address that, FarmConners consortium has launched a common benchmark for code comparison under controlled operation to demonstrate its potential benefits such as increased power production. The benchmark builds on available data sets from previous field campaigns, wind tunnel experiments and high-fidelity simulations. Within that database, 4 blind tests are defined and 13 participants in total have submitted results for the analysis of single and multiple wake under WFFC. Some participants took part in several blind tests and some participants have implemented several models. The observations and/or the model outcomes are evaluated via direct power comparisons at the upstream and downstream turbine(s), as well as the power gain at the wind farm level under wake steering control strategy. Additionally, wake loss reduction is also analysed to support the power performance comparison, where relevant. Majority of the participating models show good agreement with the observations or the reference high-fidelity simulations, especially for lower degrees of upstream misalignment and narrow wake sector. However, the benchmark clearly highlights the importance of the calibration procedure for control-oriented models. The potential effects of limited controlled operation data in calibration is particularly visible via frequent model mismatch for highly deflected wakes, as well as the power loss at the controlled turbine(s). In addition to the flow modelling, sensitivity of the predicted WFFC benefits to the turbine representation and the implementation of the controller is also underlined. FarmConners benchmark is the first of its kind to bring a wide variety of data sets, control settings and model complexities for the (initial) assessment of farm flow control benefits. It forms an important basis for more detailed benchmarks in the future with extended control objectives to assess the true value of WFFC.

The importance of controlling total ozone (TO) and surface ultraviolet irradiance is a reason for continuous monitoring of the ozonosphere using various ground-based and satellite methods and instruments. The global monitoring of TO has been carried out with the Russian instrument IKFS-2 on the Meteor-M No. 2 satellite since 2015. These measurements are conducted during the whole day and in polar night conditions. The developed algorithm based on using artificial neural networks and OMI satellite instrument measurements is periodically updated and allows determining TO with an average total error of 3-5%. The IKFS-2 measurements can be used for analyzing spatial and temporal (seasonal, interannual) variations in ozone, its long-term trends, verifying modern numerical stratospheric models, studying ozone anomalies, etc. The examples of analyzing TO in autumn-spring periods and TO anomalies in winter and spring of 2020 are given. They clearly demonstrate advantages of satellite TO measurements with the thermal radiation method.
Nietzsche’s ‘will to power’ and its Egotistic Character: Focus on Santayana’s Critique of Nietzsche
Authors: Muhammad Ateeq
Published: February 2022

Nietzsche’s idea of ‘will to power’ is one of the most influential concepts of history of philosophy that emerges out as a result of his criticism of certain knowledge and tradition morality. The rejection of certain knowledge and traditional morality lead Nietzsche to regard human interest and ‘supremacy’ as most prior. Nietzsche conceives ‘will to power’ as act of ‘free spirit’. He believes that ‘will to power’ being act of ‘free spirit’ is an inner potential by virtue of which men overcome their false beliefs which are barriers in human projection and authenticity of self. Santayana argues that ‘will to power’ is a mistaken concept. He believes that ‘life’ is not necessarily assertion of power to get supremacy over others. He raises an objection that the idea of ‘will to power’ ultimately leads to admiration of ‘egotism’ that takes superiority of human for granted and creates disharmony between human and reality. Santayana links Nietzsche’s thought to German philosophical tradition that pursues ‘free spirit’ and authenticity of self but embraces egotism. For Santayana, one can pursue authenticity of self through his wisdom and creativeness like Greek who had been supporter of ‘free spirit’ but always had harmony with reality. This paper aims to explore Santayana’s question that inquires how authenticity of self can be achieved without egotistic implication. I will revisit the notion of authenticity of self by giving an analysis of Nietzsche’s theory of ‘will to power’ and Santayana’s critique of this theory.

This study aims to assess toxic elements’ contents in fresh fruit and vegetable, as well as related potential health risks to the adult population in the Ararat region. In the frame of the research, the transfer of toxic elements from soil to plants was evaluated and non carcinogenic risks from food consumption were assessed. The results indicated that only in the case of apple consumption there is a low level of non-carcinogenic risk to As exposure. Meanwhile, in multifood consumption and multi-element ingestion cases, the low level of risk was reported both for As and Pb exposure. Further comprehensive assessments considering more elements and additional routes of exposure are needed in the region.

Football Analytics has seen a major growth in the past couple of years. Many of the top football clubs have started implementing various aspects of the vast field of football analytics. The utilization of data has become particularly important with respect to player development. In such a fast paced game, keeping track of all the players at once is an extremely difficult task. In the paper, we propose the idea of an automated system that will help the manager to pick out the team strategy, with the playing line-up, for a particular match depending on the opponent’s team tactics. The system will include 2 phases, first phase will predict the player's playing position using cluster analysis. In the next phase, the system will use deep learning to evaluate the performance of players based on their position. Using the output from the two phases, we will predict the team strategies.
