Physical Education in Eu Schools and Turkey: A Comparative Study
Authors: Özkara Abdullah Bora 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
The foundations of modern physical education in Turkey have been defined using arrangements of European countries. In general, it has been determined that European standards are taken into account as criteria when physical education is generally assessed. The evaluation of this development should also be made with scientific studies. It cannot be said that the researches carried out by the comparative research method are not sufficient; besides, many studies are carried out in different fields of physical education in Turkey. In this research the current status of physical education has been analyzed through comparative research methodology. Core aims of the study include assessing the value of PE to learners and the community; finding out and comparing teaching modules and approaches; comparing material environment around teaching PE; defining the modern trends in physical education development. Data have been collected by means of document analysis. Curriculum reform carried out in 2013 in Turkey was accepted as the start for the conducting of the document analysis. As a result, it must be accepted that Europe is an established physical education course culture. Turkey has been carrying out the reforms in recent years to create this culture. Europe has a strong heritage in terms of physical education while Turkey has increased its efforts in recent years to build this heritage. It has been revealed that the new physical education course content has been used in Turkey since 2004. Physical education and sports programs are designed on two basic areas of learning and development: mobility competence and active and healthy living. The basic structure of the physical education lesson teaching plan is based on the principles of physical, mental, individual, emotional and social skills, taking into account the environmental conditions and prevalence of providing physical activity and participation of students in sports.

AbstractThe importance of forming intercultural competences and various aspects of the development of an employee’s intellectual activity in today’s multicultural society has been stressed. Urgent problems of cross-cultural training of employees, such as the formation of intercultural (cross-cultural) competence of future employees in the process of their professional training, the necessity of compiling a complete list of intercultural competences, determining the levels of requirements for the competences of bachelors and masters, development of cultural intelligence, improvement and the introduction of methods for the development of cultural intelligence have been analyzed. It has been defined that as the most important part of culture, education is intended to ensure the entry of a man into culture through their acquisition of cultural values. The main approaches to the study of cultural diversity in educational systems have been analyzed. The necessity of training specialists with advanced cultural intelligence that will carry out professional activity in the intercultural educational space has been revealed. Four principles, the implementation of which within the framework of corporate culture allows building “the third culture”, have been highlighted: unity in diversity; integration; cognitive variety; communicative diversity. Three main competencies that reflect the essence of cross-cultural training have been characterized. They are: awareness of social constructiveness of “cultural differences” and the ability to prevent their influence; skills to identify and evaluate cognitive differences which are hidden behind differences of identities; the ability to find and create a “functional interaction” between cognitive differences of employees, which can contribute to the stability of self-regulating integrative organizational systems.

AbstractThe necessity for the development and restructuring of pharmacists’ training programs to correspond their increased practical role in society has been substantiated. It has been determined that Canada for the last decade has introduced a lot of changes concerning enhancement of pharmacists’ training, among which the following are of special interest: fulfillment of the training with a strict accordance with the accreditation standards, selective admission to colleges of pharmacists, assessment of students’ critical thinking and teaching methods, improvement of courses content delivery, interprofessional cooperation, development of practical experimental education, clinical rotations programs, mentoring programs etc. It has been defined that accreditation standards for pharmacists’ training in Canada reflect professional and educational attributes that intend to develop practicing, clinical, patient-focused pharmacists. They outline that pharmacy education of high quality depends on multiple components, including general knowledge, basic and professional sciences, and professional practice experience. The pharmacy curriculum is expected to embrace the scope of contemporary practice responsibilities as well as emerging roles that ensure the rational and safe use of drugs in the individualized care of patients. In the research it has been found out that admission of students to pharmacy colleges is organized so that to select students possessing inborn leadership skills and those of decision making. A number of techniques and tests for admission have been analyzed. Teaching strategies of theory in practice, critical thinking, clinical reasoning, inference and decision-making, which are widely used in Canadian pharmacy education, have been characterized. It has been stated that professional cooperation between medical and pharmacy students in Canada is an approach to health protection aimed at the patient and is team-based. It underlines one’s strengths and skills related to health care provision and should be taken into account. Clinical experimental rotations are one more approach that should be taken into consideration by Ukrainian educators and legislators (early involvement of students to establishments for taking care of patients and rotations of both senior and junior students when the former mentor the latter).

THALASSEMIA SOCIALIZATION TO BIOLOGY TEACHERS IN BANYUMAS: EFFORT OF INTEGRATED PREVENTION THROUGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM. Thalassemia is a hematologic disease that causes hemoglobin blood defects. As a result, red blood cells become fragile and unable to perform their standard functions. Thalassemia in Indonesia is a quite lot. Recorded data, the carrier traits are about 3-10%, spread across all provinces. Currently, no final treatment can cure this disease altogether. Regular transfusion and iron chelating drugs are still survival of thalassemia patients. Prevention program is one of efficient handling. The pattern of thalassemia gene decline follows the laws of the recessive Mendel. Prevention is done by campaigning premarital screening to married couples or further to younger individuals so they can plan marriages wisely. High School Biology teachers are an essential factor in preventing thalassemia. They can deliver prevention programs through lessons at school. They can also be pioneers in an early self-detection carrier to teenagers before they plan a marriage. Because of its strategic role, the socialization of thalassemia in high school teachers becomes very important.

A Sacred Landscape: an enquiry into the 'cubas' of southern Portugal
Authors: Ferro Luís 
Published: July 2018

The purpose of this article is to study cubas – small architectural structures known for their whitewash-painted domes – and specifically, those located in the kûra of Beja in Portugal. Although we can pinpoint the existence of many of these buildings in the Beja territorial area, many questions remain about them, such as: What was the purpose of the cubas-? When were they built? What is their origin?In order to try and answer these questions, I will be following two methods of analysis. First, I will focus onthe correlation that exists between these buildings and the landscape in which they are located. This can shed some light on the rationale behind their construction and the purpose of this type of structure.Secondly, I willanalyse the buildings themselves – with special attention being given to metric and structural analysis – in order- to clarify the period in which they were constructed and the origin of their architectural typology.By means of this project I also aim to raise awareness, both within the academic community and amongst political decision-makers of the existence of these buildings and their importance for an understanding of Iberian-Islamic culture. Perhaps this will eventually inspire political action that will lead to the development of policies to ensure the preservation of this important part of our architectural and cultural heritage.
The 'Temple of Non-Being' at Tsitsernakaberd and remembrance of the Armenian genocide: an interpretation
Authors: Seppälä Serafim 
Published: July 2018

This paper discusses and analyses the memor­ial complex of Tsitsernakaberd in Yerevan as an architectural and symbolic entity in relation to Armenian national identity in the aftermath of the Armenian genocide of 1915. How does this Soviet-era structure fulfil its role as a genocide memorial today, including its function as a forced substitute for the hundreds of holy places and the culture and life connected with them? On the one hand, this is only a small inquiry into the function of one building complex. Yet on the other hand, the topic is more essential than perhaps anything in history: the genocide memorial crystallises a set of profound questions, serious problems and agonising processes. An entire national existence can be crushed in a genocide and subsequently debased through its denial, resulting in existential problems such as, on the one hand, a pressure of assimilation for the diaspora, and on the other, severe socio-economic and geopolitical-military crises in present-day Armenia.

Objetive: to determine the fulfillment of the purchasing power parity (PPP) theory in Colombia, the exchange rate with the US dollar using as a standard.
Methodology: to check if the PPP in Colombia is achieved, monthly and quarterly data was used, which ran from January 1959 to December 2015. To do this, the longterm behavior from the real exchange rate was modeled, contrasting the unit roots presence and structural changes. In addition, a bivariate cointegration model was used.
Results: it was found that, in the case of Colombia, the PPP theory was not fulfilled, since the peso and the dollar are not cointegrated. Therefore, according to the unitary root methodology, the PPP hypothesis in Colombia for the period 1959- 2015 is not validated. Everything seems to indicate that the Colombian peso has little relation with the US dollar.
Conclusions: the use of general price indices, which include tradable goods between countries, multiple barriers to international trade, imperfect competition and social, economic, political and cultural differences between both countries are important aspects when explaining the unfulfillment of the PPP

The influence of socio-economic status on the severity of obstructive sleep apnea: a cross-sectional observational study
Authors: Papadopoulos Dimitrios , Kikemeni Anastasia , Skourti Alexandra , Amfilochiou Anastasia 
Published: July 2018

Objective There is limited evidence about the effect of socio-economic status (SES) on the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We aimed to investigate this relationship in a referral population in Greece, with regards to other established risk factors. Methods: We used a retrospective cross-sectional design to assess socio-economic status based on occupational activity in a sample of 282 OSA patients diagnosed in a public hospital sleep laboratory during one-year period. Demographic, anthropometric and social characteristics, as well as the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) scores and apnea-hypopnea indexes (AHI) of subjects in each socio-economic class were recorded and statistically significant differences were explored in univariate and multiple regression analysis. Results: 99 (35.1%) of the subjects were categorized in the upper, 70 (24.8%) in the intermediate and 113 (40.1%) in the working class. Subjects of the intermediate class had significantly larger neck circumference than those of the upper class (p=0.022). Neither class differed significantly in terms of ESS score and intermediate class had a trend for higher AHI than upper class (p=0.075 in univariate and p=0.082 in multivariate analysis). Age (p=0.020) and occasional alcohol consumption (p=0.022) were independent negative and neck circumference (p<0.001) positive correlates of the variance in ESS score, while body mass index (p=0.004), neck circumference (p<0.001), being married (p=0.014) and current smoker (p=0.025) were independent positive correlates of the variance in AHI. Discussion: SES has a minor effect on OSA severity that is only partially accounted for by other known risk factors. Neck circumference was found to be the most useful predictor of both subjective daytime sleepiness and severity of respiratory events during sleep.
