Published: February 2021

Training of athletes with disabilities in various adaptive sports in recent years is an important area of research. However, the effectiveness of the process of training athletes depends not only on training programs, but also on the quality of training of coaches in adaptive sports, which play a key role in the socialization and integration of people with disabilities through the use of sports. The problem of training for the field of adaptive sports is relevant and needs to be addressed urgently. The purpose is to substantiate the structure and content of professional preparedness of coaches in adaptive sports. To solve this goal, we used the following research methods: analogy, analysis, synthesis, abstraction, induction, extrapolation, generalization of practical experience. As a result of the research the structure of professional preparedness of a coach in adaptive sports is substantiated, which includes general-theoretical preparedness, special- theoretical preparedness, professional-pedagogical preparedness and professional-practical preparedness. The content of the components of professional preparedness of a coach in adaptive sports has been supplemented on the basis of taking into account the ideological orientation of adaptive sports and the peculiarities of motor activity of athletes with disabilities. The components of professional and pedagogical preparedness and professional and applied preparedness should cover the specifics of the sport, so their content may differ in part in different adaptive sports. The special theoretical basic preparedness of a coach in adaptive sports, in addition to the available scientifically sound content, should include information content on the basics of sports biomechanics, rehabilitation, anti-doping legislation and classification.

The courses «physical education» and «increasing sportsmanship» are an important part of the entire process of preparing future primary school teachers for physical education. It is worth noting that the subject «physical education» should be professionally directed, because it is recommended to transform this course from a purely practical direction into a vocational and pedagogical one, introducing into «physical education» - theoretical, methodological, organizational and pedagogical blocks. The subject «physical education» addresses the tasks of improving the level of physical fitness and improving the quality of vocational and pedagogical training of students. The study of the subject «physical education» provides, in addition to solving the problems of strengthening the health and physical development of students, as well as mastering the technique of certain sports, the methods for teaching individual exercises of the school curriculum, methodological techniques, methods for organizing educational activities and the methodology of the chosen sport. Practical classes on the «theory and methods of physical education» provide for the formation of professional preparedness as a holistic state of certain realities. Examples of the restoration of various forms of out-of-class work in accordance with their functions in the general education system indicate the possibility of ensuring the versatile development of motor qualities of pupils, promoting the preservation and strengthening the mental and physical health of children of all age groups. Considering what has already been said, we propose the formation of professional qualities among students of the faculty for the training of primary school teachers to be held in physical education classes with a sports orientation.

Some viable models for digital public-interest journalism
Authors: Medina-Laverón Mercedes , Sánchez-Tabernero Alfonso , Breiner James
Published: February 2021

The supply of public interest journalism that serves the needs of citizens in a democratic society has always been scarce in the media marketplace when compared with sensationalism, gossip, entertainment, propaganda, and misinformation. This scarce commodity, whose market value lies in its credibility and depends on costly investments of time and money in professional research, has frequently required a subsidy, which for more than a century was provided by advertising. Now that this subsidy has mostly been devoured by technological platforms such as Google and Facebook, the industry and profession are developing new models focused on user needs and wants with a trend toward public service rather than profit. This paper uses deductive and critical methodologies to identify the most promising business models used by media companies to counteract the decline in public-interest journalism. Our proposal is that an appropriate business model can be the best way to revitalize media companies. The research is based on Chesbrough’s business model framework applied to 20 leading digital news publications from 16 countries. In addition, we analyze how Covid-19 has impacted those business models.

Characterization of muscle strength using the strength domain of the stroke impact scale: An integrative review
Authors: Bohannon Richard W.
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

Muscle weakness is among the most common and obvious impairments in older adults and individuals with neurologic disorders. Although impairments in muscle strength are typically characterized using performance measures, the impairments have also been described using patient or observer-report. The objective of this review was to summarize literature describing use of a patient-report instrument, the Strength Domain (SD) of the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS), to grade strength impairments.

METHODS:

Peer-reviewed literature reporting SD scores for the SIS was identified using computerized searches of the CINAHL, PubMed, and Scopus databases followed by hand searches. Potentially relevant articles were then mined for data on the participants tested, the SIS version used, scores documented, and clinimetric properties reported.

RESULTS:

Sixty-five articles were judged appropriate based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The articles involved more than 7000 residents of 22 countries. All articles focused on individuals with stroke (usually chronic), although one also included community-dwelling adults without stroke. The SIS version used was frequently unreported, but 3.0 was version most often specified. For articles reporting SD scale scores the mean ranged from 19.7 to 85.5. Construct (known groups, convergent, and discriminant) validity of the SD was supported by the literature as was its internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Responsiveness of the SD was evinced by numerous studies showing increases in SD scores with time or accompanying effective interventions. However, only one study indicated responsiveness using an anchor-based statistic.

CONCLUSIONS:

The SD of the SIS is a well-established and mostly clinimetrically sound patient-report measure of paretic limb strength among individuals with stroke. Its use with individuals with weakness accompanying aging or diagnoses other than stroke remains to be substantiated.

Authors: Pongan Elodie ,   COVCARE Group, Dorey Jean-Michel , Borg Céline , Getenet Jean Claude , Bachelet Romain , Lourioux Charles , Laurent Bernard , Rey Romain , Rouch Isabelle
Published: February 2021

Background: From March 2020, the support and care systems for caregivers and people with dementia (PWD) were suspended or dramatically changed due to the lockdown during the world pandemic of COVID-19. Thus, these changes in living conditions have had deleterious consequences on the behavior of PWD and subsequently on their caregivers’ mental health, the two being linked. Objective: Our study aimed to examine changes in behavior among PWD and to look for associations between the evolution of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) and caregivers’ mental health in the context of COVID-19. Methods: The study was conducted among caregivers of PWD living at home in France. Caregivers were interviewed via an anonymous cross-sectional online survey during the first lockdown between April 15 and June 15, 2020. Results: Three hundred and eighty-nine caregivers accompanying a relative living at home participated in the study; 43.3%of the PWD presented a worsening of BPSD during the lockdown. With multivariate logistic regressions, a significant association was observed between ”more BPSD” and burden, anxiety and depression, between “BPSD equivalent” and anxiety and depression, and between “emerging BPSD” and only depression. Conclusion: The lockdown seems to have an impact on behavioral disorders in PWD and these disorders are associated with poorer mental health of caregivers. Our findings suggest attention should be given to caregivers of PWD who have BPSD before lockdown and the need for continued consultations and professional help in case of new lockdowns.
A fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis of ownership strategy and acquisition performance in cross-border acquisitions
Authors: Hua Xing , Yue Qi
Published: February 2021

Based on a survey database of cross-border acquisitions by Chinese private firms, this study uses a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to explore the holistic impact of acquisition ownership, organizational factors and environmental factors on acquisition performance in cross-border acquisitions. It is found that the cross-border acquisitions taken by Chinese private enterprises have four kinds of acquisition ownership strategies leading to high acquisition performance under different internal and external conditions. This study points out that ownership strategy is a key decision affecting cross-border acquisition performance and provides a variety of paths leading to the same outcome rather than just finding the linear relationship between corporate activity and performance. This study supports the assumption of equivalence, and reveals a variety of scenarios in which cross-border acquisition ownership contributes to the outcome of high cross-border acquisition performance, and further confirms the view of causal asymmetry between condition and outcome. This study reveals whether the proportion of cross-border acquisition ownership affects cross-border acquisition performance and under what circumstances is conducive to the realization of expected cross-border acquisition performance.
Safety behavior of employees in industrial enterprises based on evolutionary game and fuzzy system simulation: Evolution from passiveness to obedience
Authors: Li Jingyuan
Published: February 2021

In 2020, under the major impact of the global COVID-19 epidemic, people are paying more and more attention to safety issues including health and personal safety, and relevant supervision and testing methods are also constantly updated across different countries. In industrial enterprises, both spread of diseases and occurrence of accidents are largely caused by unsafe state of things and unsafe behaviors of people, among which, human factor is the most important factor. In recent years, many scholars have conducted theoretical and practical research on individual behavior from the perspective of individual psychological characteristics. Where, individual initiative as an important individual psychological trait is increasingly incorporated in the research category of safety behavior. A close correlation exists between individual initiative and evolution of safety production behavior. According to constraint conditions and replicator dynamics equation, this paper uses evolutionary game method and computer fuzzy system Matlab simulation software to conduct numerical experiment analysis on the ideal state of the game between organizations and individuals, thereby studying the behavior evolution trend. The basic idea of fuzzy control is to use computer to realize human’s qualitative control experience. Research is found that whether an individual adopts safety obedience behavior will be directly affected by whether the organization adopts regulatory safety production management model. And if the organization adopts regulatory safety production management model and the individual does not implement safety obedience behavior, it is impossible to achieve a stable state. The evolution process of the two to the ideal state is affected by multiple factors.
Multilevel dynamic time warping: A parameter-light method for fast time series classification
Authors: Zhang Haowen , Dong Yabo , Xu Duanqing
Published: February 2021

Time series classification is a fundamental problem in the time series mining community. Recently, many sophisticated methods which can produce state-of-the-art classification accuracy on the UCR archive have been proposed. Unfortunately, most of them are parameter-laden methods and require fine-tune for different datasets. Besides, training these classifiers is very computationally demanding, which makes them difficult to use in many real-time applications and previously unseen datasets. In this paper, we propose a novel parameter-light algorithm, MDTW, to classify time series. MDTW has a few parameters which do not require any fine-tune and can be chosen arbitrarily because the classification accuracy is largely insensitive to the parameters. MDTW has no training step; thus, it can be directly applied to unseen datasets. MDTW is based on a popular method, namely the nearest neighbor classifier with Dynamic Time Warping (NN-DTW). However, MDTW performs much faster than NN-DTW by representing time series in different resolutions and using filters-and-refine framework to find the nearest neighbor. The experimental results demonstrate that MDTW performs faster than the state-of-the-art, with small losses (<3%) in average classification accuracy. Besides, we embed a technique, prunedDTW, into the MDTW procedure to make MDTW even faster, and show by experiments that this combination can speed up the MDTW from one to five times.

Digital therapeutics, treatments delivered remotely and enabled by modern technology, facilitate the provision of personalized, evidence-based, interdisciplinary interventions to manage the complexities associated with Parkinson’s disease. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for digital therapeutics has arguably never been greater. However, despite new advances in technology and a heightened interest due to the pandemic, digital therapeutics remain underdeveloped and underutilized. In this paper, we briefly review practical applications and emerging advances in digital therapeutic platforms that target motor and non-motor signs and healthy lifestyle behaviors such as regular exercise, a healthful diet and optimal sleep hygiene habits. Future applications which could transform personalized self-management and patient care are presented. Opportunities, drawbacks and barriers to access are discussed.

BACKGROUND: Low success and high recurrence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) after home-based self-treated Epley and Barbeque (BBQ) roll maneuvers is an important issue. OBJECTIVE: To quantify the cause of low success rate of self-treated Epley and BBQ roll maneuvers and provide a clinically acceptable criterion to guide self-treatment head rotations. METHODS: Twenty-five participants without active BPPV wore a custom head-mount rotation monitoring device for objective measurements. Self-treatment and specialist-assisted maneuvers were compared for head rotation accuracy. Absolute differences between the head rotation evaluation criteria (American Academy of Otolaryngology guidelines) and measured rotation angles were considered as errors. Self-treatment and specialist-treated errors in maneuvers were compared. Between-trial variations and age effects were evaluated. RESULTS: A significantly large error and between-trial variation occurred in step 4 of the self-treated Epley maneuver, with a considerable error in the second trial. The cumulative error of all steps of self-treated BBQ roll maneuver was significantly large. Age effect occurred only in the self-treated BBQ roll maneuver. Errors in specialist-treated maneuvers ranged from 10 to 20 degrees. CONCLUSIONS: Real-time feedback of head movements during simultaneous head-body rotations could increase success rates of self-treatments. Specialist-treated maneuvers can be used as permissible rotation margin criteria.

Сучасний етап розвитку Державної прикордонної служби України характеризується зростанням темпів і масштабів інформаційного обміну, збільшуючи роль інформації в системі організації управління. Процес управління є процесом обробки інформації та її перетворення в управлінські рішення, що обумовлює роль інформаційно-аналітичного забезпечення в підвищенні його ефективності, достовірності та оперативності. На даний момент необхідна зміна підходів щодо здійснення інформаційно-аналітичної діяльності, загальних принципів її організації, управління, форм і методів її здійснення, що визначає актуальність наукового дослідження моделей, методів інформаційно-аналітичного забезпечення управлінської діяльності Державної прикордонної служби України. Найбільш проблематичним питанням залишається побудова моделі інформаційно-аналітичного забезпечення стосовно підтримки прийняття рішення в охороні та захисті державного кордону на рівні органів охорони державного кордону.

Обґрунтовано та подано модель інформаційно-аналітичного забезпечення управлінської діяльності органів охорони державного кордону. Основу моделі складає інформаційно-аналітична система, до складу якої входять підсистеми: збору даних, необхідна для збору даних різного типу – статистичних, текстових, табличних, графічних, кількісних, якісних тощо; вводу-виводу даних (інформації), необхідна для перетворення вихідних даних різного типу до єдиного вигляду; збереження даних, здійснює збереження вихідних даних та вторинних, після обробки; обробки даних; геоінформаційна підсистема; підсистема моделювання оперативно-службової діяльності; експертної підсистема; аналітиків. Було визначено: головним елементом інформаційно-аналітичної системи є аналітики, до яких висуваються певні вимоги: тісний зв'язок з інтегрованою інформаційно-телекомунікаційною системою «Гарт» Державної прикордонної служби України.

Дослідження розробленої моделі дозволило визначити основні напрямки подальших досліджень – розробка підсистеми збору даних, розробка методів обробки даних, підготовка аналітиків.
