The demiurge in the convex mirror. The Hermetic keys of Parmigianino’s Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror
Authors: Ferrer-Ventosa Roger
Published: July 2024

The article analyses the conceptual foundations of Parmigianino in relation to his Hermetic and Neoplatonic ideas and alchemical practice, which were important in Renaissance Italian culture. Parmigianino's Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror is viewed as an embodiment of the artist as a demiurge, a creator of a brand new universe. The article highlights the symbolic and metaphysical significance of the convex mirror, reflecting the artist's creative power and the hidden values of reality. Melancholy, associated with Saturn, was a characteristic of artists and intellectuals in that cultural context. The article discusses Parmigianino’s frescos of Diana and Actaeon, a myth that symbolizes the pursuit of wisdom and the transformative process of the alchemist. Finally, it is also examined Parmigianino's potential interest in alchemy based on historical accounts. The controversy surrounding Parmigianino's involvement in alchemy is discussed, along with the opinions of various scholars

Published: July 2024

The aim of this work is the utilization of the secondary steam energy through its thermal transformation in electrodynamic dehydrators developed by the authors. To achieve this goal, the use of heat pumps is proposed. A hypothesis is formulated that the use of electromagnetic energy sources in the process of removing moisture from food solutions, followed by the transformation of secondary steam energy, will allow for the formation of reverse energy flows. A method for calculating energy efficiency in the presence of direct and reverse flows is presented. Multistage dehydrators, where electrodynamic systems are used at the final stage and heat pumps at the previous stages, are analyzed. It is shown that the formation of reverse flows significantly increases the overall energy efficiency. The use of an electrodynamic apparatus at the final stage solves the problems of obtaining a highly concentrated quality solution. The application of heat pumps at the remaining stages allows for the efficient use of secondary steam energy. The most significant result is the matching schemes of heat pumps with the dehydrator and the environment. The importance of the work lies in the substantiation and confirmation of the high energy efficiency of organizing reverse energy flows, and the proposed installation with combined systems — electrodynamic and heat pump. By calculation, the modes have been established in which the overall efficiency for two-stage apparatuses with heat pumps can be increased from 0.4 to 0.6, and for four-stage dehydrators from 0.4 to 0.8.

Authors: Zaitsev D. , Golub I. , Tirsu M. , Caloshin D.
Published: July 2024

The paper deals with research of the booster transformer (regulation transformer), which can be attributed to “Sen” family, which has an extended range and higher control accuracy. The main aim of the paper is to study both operational and energy characteristics of the transformer device that implements output voltage longitudinal-transverse regulation principle relative to the input based on power electronics. The most significant research results can be considered new developed circuit design and method for windings sectioning, including their regulating control strategy. The obtained computational experiments results based on developed structural simulation models of the booster transformer demonstrated effectiveness of the proposed device technical solution and its control strategy in terms of significant expansion of the output voltage range both in magnitude and in phase. It is shown that the proposed technical solution provides greater possibilities for phase voltage regulation (relative to the UPFC and “Sen” transformer) with the same restrictions on the longitudinal and transverse components of the boost voltage. Vector diagrams of the studded device were constructed and expressions characterizing its operating parameters were obtained. The characteristics of the device parameters variation in both idle and load mode were obtained and analyzed. The significance of the obtained results consisting in fact, that the proposed technical solution is capable to provide the same control actions in the form of an adjustable additional voltage as FACTS controllers such as UPFC and “Sen” - transformer, but on a simpler basis that is more accessible to practical implementation.
PROFILING THE PHOSPHATE SOLUBILIZING AND NITROGEN-FIXING BACTERIA FROM THE RHIZOSPHERE OF Talinum fruticosum (L.) Juss
Authors: Enagbonma B. J. , Momoh P. O.
Published: July 2024

Rhizospheric microorganisms play crucial roles in enhancing crop production and soil fertility maintenance and with little or no information on Talinum fruticosum rhizosphere microbiome. This research aimed to profile the phosphate-solubilizing and nitrogen-fixing bacteria (PSB and NFB) inhabiting the Talinum fruticosum rhizosphere, a common vegetable crop in many tropical and subtropical regions.  Soils were extracted from the Talinum fruticosum plants grown in  Ekosodin Secondary School Farm at Ekosodin, Benin City, Nigeria. Isolation and characterization of PSB and NFB were carried out using cultural, morphological and biochemical, media tests. Bacillus sp., Serratia sp., Enterobacter sp.,  and Alcaligenes sp. isolated from the Talinum fruticosum rhizosphere were screened for their phosphate solubilizing and nitrogen fixing abilities. Out of many isolates implicated in Talinum fruticosum rhizosphere, only Bacillus sp.was found to be positive for both nitrogen fixing and phosphate solubilization test while Enterobacter sp.was positive for only nitrogen fixing test. This study supports other studies that the rhizosphere of Talinum fruticosum hosts some plant growth-promoting bacteria which when harnessed may lead to sustainable agricultural strategies for improving crop yield.

Authors: Shchipakin M. V. , Melnikov S. I.
Published: July 2024

One of the most important branches of animal husbandry in the Russian Federation is sheep farming. One of the most important aspects of solving this problem is the development of modern reproductive technologies that allow indefinitely preserving and rationally using the gene pool of endangered animal species, creating competitive breeding forms. Without fundamental knowledge about the reproductive system, it will be difficult to plan a therapeutic and diagnostic base for conducting research in this area. The aim of the study was to establish the anatomical and topographic features of the ovaries in the age aspect in sheep of the Edilbaev breed, as well as to carry out morphometric measurements in three age groups (fetuses, newborns, young). The study was conducted at the Department of Animal Anatomy of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education. Female sheep of the Edilbaev breed served as the object of the study. Three age groups were selected for the study. The first group consisted of five fetuses of four to five months old; the second – seven corpses of newborn lambs at the age of three days from birth; the third – young animals 3-4 months old. The average weight of fruits is 1500 g.; newborn lambs – 3250 g.; young animals – 18-22 kg. The methods used for the study were fine anatomical dissection, morphometry using a ruler and calipers. During the study, anatomical and topographical features of the ovaries in the age aspect of sheep of the Edilbaev breed were established. Skeleto- and syntopia of the ovaries in different age groups has been determined. During the comparative analysis of morphometric characteristics, both absolute and relative linear parameters of the ovaries of fetuses, newborns and young sheep of the Edilbaev breed were established. The study established asynchrony in the development of the left and right ovaries in the studied age groups. The results of the study can be used by veterinary specialists, in particular obstetricians, surgeons to establish operative access to the ovaries and in obstetric and gynecological practice in sheep breeding.

The need to establish cost standards is dictated by the need to form a state task for institutions in order to justify the amount of budget financing of their core activities. When developing standards, the requirements of the federal and regional regulatory framework defining the procedure for financial provision of public services by budgetary veterinary institutions of these subjects of the Russian Federation are taken into account. The developed basic cost standards have been adopted by customers - regional executive authorities in the field of veterinary medicine.
Morphological composition of blood and phagocytosis indicators in calves obtained from cows with genital mycoplasmosis using various therapeutic regimes
Authors: Vasiliev R. M.
Published: July 2024

Providing the population with high-quality meat and dairy products is one of the important elements of the country’s food security. A significant element in the implementation of this task is the production of healthy young animals. The course of the intrauterine period has a great influence on the health of the offspring, and any pathological processes occurring in the mother’s body at this time affect the health of the newborns. Among diseases of the reproductive tract of cows, genital mycoplasmosis occupies a special place, characterized by an almost complete absence of symptoms and, therefore, the difficulty of timely diagnosis. In the absence of morphological changes in the reproductive organs, infected females are capable of fertilization and bearing a fetus. On this basis, we were interested in studying what changes are observed in the body of calves obtained from infected mothers in terms of the species composition of leukocytes and their functional activity, when using various treatment regimens for genital mycoplasmosis. During the experiment, tulathromycin and tulathromycin in combination with thymalin were administered to deeply pregnant cows with genital mycoplasmosis, and the number of leukocytes was determined in the offspring obtained from them, the leukogram was displayed, and the phagocytic activity of neutrophils and the phagocytic index were assessed. The results obtained demonstrated that combination therapy of pregnant cows with genital mycoplasmosis, in comparison with the use of only an antibiotic, makes it possible to obtain from them calves the morphological composition of the blood and the phagocytosis indicators of which will not differ in any way from those of the offspring of clinically healthy animals.

Published: July 2024

Mycoplasma is considered as commensal microorganism, however, due to a decrease in the natural resistance of the macroorganism, they can cause an infectious process of various localization. Diseases caused by Мycoplasma are noted in farm animals and birds of various species. A significant part of the livestock can be affected, which entails serious economic damage. The purpose of the presented work was to study the clinical signs and pathological changes in enzootic pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma in pigs. When observing 18 four-month-old Landrace piglets living in a vivarium, one animal showed periodic dry cough, decreased fatness, lethargy and decreased activity, body temperature 39.5 ° C, heart rate - 130 /min, respiratory rate - 42 /min. The other animals were clinically healthy. After slaughter, autopsy of 18 animals revealed pathological changes of varying severity in three: fibrinous pleurisy, lobar fibrinous pneumonia, pulmonary edema. Microscopy of histological preparations selected from fragments of the affected lungs revealed Mycoplasma and changes characteristic of interstitial pneumonia: neutrophil infiltration, fibrosis. Conclusions: In the described case, enzootic pneumonia is not a highly contagious disease: out of 18 animals, only one piglet had clinical signs, and three had pathological changes. Due to the subclinical process, manifested by rare dry coughing, the pathological changes may remains unnoticed until the autopsy of the animals.
Immune-related hemolytic anemia of cats - a modern approach to therapy
Authors: Smetanina E. S. , Ladanova M. A.
Published: July 2024

Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia in cats (lat. anemia haemolytica) - is a condition in which the body's immune system attacks normal glycoprotein molecules on the surface of red blood cells, causing them to be destroyed in large numbers. This occurs due to a problem with the body's ability to distinguish between its own cells and foreign invaders. According to old publications, the mortality rate for this disease is close to 70%, but new research and increased awareness among veterinarians in recent years puts this figure down to 30-40%. Our research aims to review the current literature and provide information on treatment options based on current protocols. Treatment for autoimmune hemolytic anemia depends on the severity of the symptoms and any other infections that may be present. Typically, the treatment for blood parasites involves the use of immunosuppressive drugs, anticoagulants, antibiotics, and blood transfusions. When confirming the presence of parasites, doxycycline, an antibacterial medication, is prescribed at a dose of 10 mg/kg for an average of two weeks. In cases of secondary immune-mediated hemolytic anemia , symptomatic treatment may be used in conjunction with treatment for the underlying inflammation to reduce it. Despite the increasing number of cases of blood parasites, we still do not fully understand the exact mechanisms behind their development. However, with the development of standardized treatment protocols, increased awareness among veterinarians, and assistance from pet owners in providing information for diagnosis, we can reduce mortality rates and find new treatments for severe cases.

Authors: Kalyuzhnaya T. V. , Kuznetsov Yu. E. , Orlova D. A.
Published: July 2024

The problem of mycotoxicosis is relevant for many livestock, pig and poultry farms, as well as for ensuring food security. In most cases, mycotoxin poisoning can take place in a latent form and manifest itself in the form of a decrease in productivity and growth retardation of animals, cicatricial digestion disorders, immunosuppression, etc. Therefore, the requirements of regulatory and technical documents clearly regulate the maximum allowable value of these contaminants in both feed and food raw materials. One of the modern ways to combat mycotoxins is the introduction of sorbents that bind to mycotoxins and prevent their absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. There are a large number of sorbents on the market. The range of complex feed additives of sorption action is expanding, therefore, it is of interest to determine their effectiveness. One of these sorbents is a natural mineral - shungite - an intermediate product between amorphous carbon and crystalline graphite, containing carbon (30%), quartz (45%) and silicate micas (20%). The purpose of the work is to study and evaluate the sorption capacity of shungite in relation to mycotoxins: aflatoxin B1, deoxynivalenol, zearalenone. Methods. The object of the study were samples of crushed shungite. In the process of work, experimental studies and evaluation of the sorption properties of shungite in vitro were carried out using the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. Results. When calculating and analyzing the sorption capacity of the mineral, high sorption properties with respect to mycotoxins were established, namely, aflatoxin B1 is sorbed by shungite by 99.2%, deoxynivalenol - by 99.9%, zearalenone - 99.8%, which makes it possible to recommend the mineral for use in veterinary medicine as a feed additive for the prevention of mycotoxicoses.

Published: July 2024

Waste Management is a daily task in urban areas, which needs a huge amount of labour resources and this affects natural, budgetary, efficiency and social aspect of our cities. Manual sorting of garbage is a difficult process that is expensive and that is why scientists create and study automated sorting methods that increase the efficiency of the recycling process. Most recently, there has been a drift in combining waste that is prime scheme with low cost IoT architectural design on a test board. However, the results from all these past approaches and techniques are still not clear and cannot be applied in real systems, such as in cities and campuses. This work introduces the design of a micro controller that is single, low cost, straight forward with an ultrasound sensor which can measure the filling height of a garbage Trash Bin and send information using LORA Technology. A novel IoT based Machine Learning method in combination with Genetic Algorithm to predict the probability of collecting waste in real environment based on historical data were used in this study. This is combined with a microcontroller system designed with a sensor module for measuring the height that is the fillings levels of each trash bin. The system can optimize the collection of waste with the shortest path by using genetic algorithm. Python was used for analyzing the data.Using the above Machine Learning techniques like Logical Regression cum Genetic Algorithm to compute the paths of wastes collection with different time schedules, it is cumbersome to get efficient route optimization; hence the aim of this paper was to present an IoT cloud solution combining device connection, data processing, control and ensuring route optimization. Genetic Algorithm ensures perfect route optimization.

The Niger Delta Region of Nigeria is faced with prevalent cases of insecurity as a result of marginalization. The region is facing several health challenges orchestrated by oil exploration, and there is no meaningful compensation to commensurate with these devastating situation. This study was conducted to examine the cause of militancy in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria. Militancy in the Niger Delta has reached a seemingly high level, which has contributed to the crumbling economy of Nigeria and insecurity in the region as there are series of attacks on oil facilities which have reduced the barrel production of crude oil per day in the region. This has posed an imminent threat with the ongoing recession in the country. This study however adopts survey method and through empirical means tries to find out the cause of militancy in the region. Both primary and secondary data were collected for the purpose of clarity and specifically in the study. Two hundred and fifty (250) copies of questionnaire were administered to the respondents that were selected using multiple sampling techniques; these include purposive, snowball and random sampling techniques. Secondary data were extracted from journals, textbooks, newspapers, and internet materials. Primary data were collected through structured and unstructured interviews. The study recommends that due compensation should be paid to the host region. Development projects should be assigned to the region to reduce environmental hazards.
The Labyrinth of Technical English
Authors: ANDREI Cristina Maria
Published: July 2024

ESP is a complex matter to deal with for teachers as well as for students. It involves
effort and commitment on both sides, a great deal of free time necessary for training,
seriousness and, more than anything else, motivation; technical English is not just a
long list of words to be learned by heart or complicated set phrases, it is a mix of
everyday English vocabulary and conversations that are commonly met in technical
contexts. Acquiring the terms in the field of expertise is vital, but only used in
appropriate authentic situations may help learners get the real meaning and may
help them to handle them correctly. One key aspect is to master the ability to adapt
the knowledge from the class to the related work field opportunities. Useful materials
are hard to create since the English teacher has no connection to the technical field,
thus, a collaboration with other teachers is a positive aspect that should be taken
into consideration. Students may also contribute with relevant information in the
class, generating a bond with the teacher and a friendly learning environment where
everybody plays a role, brings a contribution and offers support. It may be perceived
as a team work coordinated by a teacher in the role of the leader. However, recently,
a lot of specialised books for teaching technical English have appeared on the
market, facilitating the entire teaching process.
Stephane Mallarme – poetul absolutului și al contradicțiilor
Authors: CHIRIȚESCU Ileana Mihaela
Published: July 2024

Symbolism was first a literary, then an artistic movement, which brought together a
large number of writers and artists from all over the world based on its aesthetic
program. Thanks to its cosmopolitan character, symbolism, originally French, would
conquer all of Europe and America, both Spanish and Anglo-Saxon. This movement was
French in essence and expression, but foreigners participated in it from the very
beginning: Greeks like Jean Moréas, the pseudonym of Papadiamantopulos, Flemings like
Rodenbach, Maeterlink, Verhaeren, Max Elskamp, Albert Mockel and Van Lerberghe,
Anglo – Saxons such as Stuart Merrill and Francis Viele-Griffi, Jews such as Gustave Kahn,
Spaniards such as Armand Godoy and many others, among whom should be mentioned
the work also written in French by the Italian Gabriele D'Annunzio, the English Oscar
Wilde and the Romanian Alexandru Macedonski (contributor to one of the first
magazines of the current, „La Wallonie”). Mallarmé meant for the evolution of poetry
what Einstein would mean later for revolutionizing physics. He took the decisive step that
spirituality required for poetry to move to a higher level.

Postmodernism. The Phenomenon That Has Gained Authority
Authors: GHEORGHIȚĂ Laura
Published: July 2024

The concept of postmodernism has been theorized over time by several authors,
highlighting the importance of the link between it and postmodernity, the period in
which it began to develop, within the formulation of the features of the current.
Postmodernism appears in a post-industrial world, a world in which architecture,
electronics, genetics, art etc. have developed. In postmodernity, the world begins to
change, to tend towards the expansion of pop culture, to become much freer and to
accept new behaviors. Against the background of such a cultural context, a new
literary trend begins to take shape, postmodernism, which, broadly speaking, is
characterized by: the apotheosis of capitalism, the fading of emotions, the
decomposition of the subject, irony on the past, the triumph of parody, kitsch,
mediation and representation, the disappearance of the individual style, a greater
rupture between the signified and the signifier, the collapse of realism as a method
that claims to provide access to reality etc. Although postmodernism has received
several definitions or descriptions, it has been understood differently, it remains a
phenomenon that also imposes itself in Romanian culture.

From Folklore to Literature: Utilising Bram Stoker’s Dracula as a Teaching Resource for Romanian Cultural Education
Authors: LĂPĂDAT Laviniu Costinel
Published: July 2024

Stoker's „Dracula” is not merely a tale of horror but a intricate interweaving of
historical fact and Romanian folklore. The strigoi and nosferatu, while possibly
perceived as mere relics of bygone superstitions, are integral facets of Romanian
cultural identity. Their tales, replete with the wisdom and anxieties of a civilization,
invite us to engage deeply with the narratives that have shaped and continue to
influence a nation's collective psyche. It is this intricate dance between the real and
the imagined, the living and the undead, that renders the study of Stoker’s Dracula
and its Romanian origins a compelling academic endeavor. For educators, the myths
of the strigoi and nosferatu, when juxtaposed against Stoker’s Dracula, offer a
treasure trove of opportunities. They unveil a society's deep-seated beliefs, fears, and
aspirations. Analyzing these tales provides insights into Romania's cultural,
religious, and social mores, making them invaluable tools for cultural education. By
deconstructing the origins and evolutions of these myths, students can be introduced
to broader themes of life, death, societal values, and the interplay of indigenous and
external religious influences.

Diabetic Prediction based on Machine Learning Using PIMA Indian Dataset
Authors: Merdin Shamal Salih
Published: July 2024

Diabetes mellitus, a chronic condition, causes disruptions in the metabolic processes of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Hyperglycemia, characterised by elevated blood sugar levels, is the primary distinguishing characteristic of all forms of diabetes. Diabetes is a disease that has significantly increased in prevalence due to the contemporary lifestyle. Consequently, it is essential to get an early-stage diagnosis of the illness. When constructing classification models, data pre-processing is a crucial step. The Pima Indian Diabetes dataset, available in the University of California Irvine (UCI) repository, is a challenging dataset with a higher proportion of missing values (48%) compared to comparable datasets. To improve the accuracy of the classification model, many rounds of data pre-processing are conducted on the Pima Diabetes dataset. The proposed approach consists of two stages: outlier removal and imputation in the first stage, and normalisation in the second stage. Regarding the feature aspect, we used a method called principal component analysis (PCA). Ultimately, to classify the PIMA dataset, we used many classifiers such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), Naïve Bayes (NB), and Decision Tree (DT). The testing revealed that the maximum achievable accuracy was 89.86% when 80% of the data was used for training. This was accomplished by integrating the feature selection technique with the classifier.

Optimality of Finite Capacity Markovian Queues with Discouraged Arrivals and Singlhiatus with Waiting Server
Authors: J. Vimal Andrew
Published: July 2024

We consider finite-capacity Markovian queues with a single hiatus scheme and waiting server. Customers are arriving at a Poisson arrival λ and exponential service distribution, with a mean service rate µ. In which customers join the queue according to the number of customers in the system while the hiatus is in the service-providing process. For the assumed queuing model, steady-state probabilities were derived, and some important performance measures, such as the mean number of customers in the system and mean response time in the system and queue are analysed. The expected expense function is developed and formulated as an optimization problem in order to find the minimum expense. Numerical illustrations are given to show the effect of parameters on the performance measures.

Comparison of Control Strategies of Quasi Z-Source Inverter for Wind Power Generation
Authors: Bhavesh D. Patel
Published: July 2024

This paper compares the control strategies of Quasi z source inverter for wind power generation. The generator in the conventional wind energy conversion system uses kinetic energy from the wind to produce electrical energy. Owing to wind fluctuations, the generator's output is connected to the load via a rectifier and inverter to keep the voltage at the load side constant. The 2-stage conversion phenomenon has its limitation of being expensive along with possessing lower efficiency. Z source inverters offer a novel conversion approach and can utilized to alleviate the limitations. However, they come with certain downsides as well, such as unequal input current, high inrush current, and high voltage stress. The quasi-Z source inverter (QZSI), a single-stage power converter based on the Z source inverter topology, can overcome it. It performs this by using an impedance network that couples with the source and the inverter to provide a voltage boost for the wind power generating system. In this paper, a comparative study of different control strategies of quasi-z source inverter is performed for a wind power system to find out one efficient strategy.
"Enemies of the State": the detention in Spain of missionaries from the northern Frontier of México after the Jesuit Expulsión.
Authors: Jackson Robert Howard
Published: July 2024

In 1767, Spanish King Carlos III ordered the expulsion of the members of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) from all Spanish dominions. The King ordered the Jesuits to be sent to the Papal States in Italy. However, a small number of Jesuits who had staffed missions on the north Mexican frontier were held in captivity in Spain, as “enemies of the state.” They had knowledge of the frontier, and royal officials feared they might provide this information to Spain`s enemies. This prosoprographic study analysis the profile of the missionaries, and their fate following the Jesuit expulsion. It also compares this group of missionaries with another group, the Jesuits stationed on the missions among the Guaraní in South America. Those that survived the trip to Europe went into exile in Italy. They were not deemed to be a security threat.

Signs of molar incisor hypomineralization before eruption of the affected tooth: Case report
Authors: de Souza Peruch Claudia Maria , Barriviera Mauricio , Antunes Barriviera Fernando , Santos-Pinto Lourdes
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Clinical manifestations of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) can be confused with other developmental defects of the enamel, complicating early diagnosis and appropriate treatment intervention.

Case Report: This case report demonstrated that signs suggestive of the MIH defect in first molars were possible to be identified on panoramic radiographs and 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, before the teeth erupted. The defect was proven with the eruption of the tooth.

Conclusion: Panoramic radiography and CBCT were radiological alternative for the early identification of signs of MIH. However, CBCT should not be routinely indicated due to its higher radiation dose.
La ciencia en el fútbol peruano
Authors: Rodriguez Velasquez Jaime Ricardo , Villena Rojas Moisés Alberto
Published: July 2024

El presente documento es fruto de un arduo trabajo de investigación llevado a cabo durante mis estudios de maestría, titulado "La evolución del desarrollo y el rendimiento físico por la influencia de las cargas de entrenamiento en los futbolistas de alto nivel en el Perú". Este trabajo ha concluido en el texto que tienes en tus manos, "Deportistas de Élite: La Ciencia del Entrenamiento en el peruano". Este libro tiene como objetivo principal aportar conocimientos y guías prácticas que sirvan como una linterna para iluminar el camino de las futuras generaciones de deportistas y entrenadores en el Perú. Creo firmemente que mi formación y experiencia me han preparado para esta tarea, y siempre he tratado de cumplir con esta responsabilidad de la mejor manera posible. Sin embargo, es importante destacar que el destino lo traza cada individuo, y mi función como educador, en el sentido más amplio de la palabra, es preocuparme por lo que debo aportar a mis alumnos. No todo es gloria en este camino; enfrentamos desafíos significativos al determinar qué queremos lograr y cómo lo vamos a hacer. El conocimiento sobre la planificación y periodización del entrenamiento es fundamental. Sin esta competencia, resulta imposible realizar un trabajo científico y técnico que logre resultados sobresalientes en la formación de futbolistas de alto nivel en el Perú. En nuestros trabajos en diferentes clubes del Perú y en la selección nacional, hemos visto cómo la calidad del entrenamiento se incrementa significativamente mediante la aplicación de planes diarios, semanales, mensuales y por ciclos. En este texto, enfocamos la importancia de las ciencias del deporte. Sin una planificación estratégica adecuada, las acciones prácticas no avanzan hacia ningún objetivo concreto. Esto se ha comprobado tanto en la selección nacional de mayores como en el trabajo empírico en las divisiones inferiores. Esperamos que al analizar los planteamientos propuestos, se mejoren los criterios en fisiología del esfuerzo físico, bioquímica del ejercicio y biomecánica de la técnica deportiva. Es esencial fortalecer las asociaciones de entrenadores en nuestro país y evitar traer a personas no calificadas que fungen de entrenadores. Nuestro trabajo se centra en los planes y programas de entrenamiento del fútbol, citando varios modelos de planes de trabajo basados en el desarrollo de la preparación física, especial y general, la preparación técnico-táctica, teórica y psicológica. Hemos dedicado gran parte de nuestra vida a mejorar el nivel del fútbol peruano. Aunque aún no hemos logrado todos nuestros objetivos, estamos en el camino correcto. Esta es nuestra quinta obra sobre esta ciencia, y hemos recibido opiniones favorables de colegas de diversas partes del mundo. Disculpas a aquellos que se dedican al fútbol sin lucrar, pero la situación de nuestro país nos impulsa a expresar nuestras preocupaciones y a solicitar su ayuda para avanzar juntos. No soy culpable de lo que soy, pero sí responsable de lo que venga.
Spatial skills and driving ability: Is there a link?
Authors: Tomlin Georgia
Published: July 2024

Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are one of the 10 top causes of death and injury worldwide. This study uses a correlational design to investigate the associations between spatial thinking and driving ability, when controlling for executive functions. This involved participants (N=129) completing a series of questionnaires and tasks to assess their spatial skills, executive functions and driving ability. We found that spatial thinking was not a significant predictor of driving ability. We discuss how the creation of a novel driving questionnaire lays a foundation to investigate spatial thinking and driving.
