Comparative analysis of indicators of physical development of schoolchildren for the period 2018–2021
Authors: Mikhailova S.V. 
Published: November 2023

Indicators of physical development (PD) are important criteria for the state of health of children and adolescents, and their dynamics allows an objective assessment of the state of physical well-being and health in general.
The study was conducted based on the results of preventive medical examinations at the Health Center for Children of 282 schoolchildren aged 7–17 years. Anthropometric indicators were measured (length and weight of the body, chest circumference, etc.), the harmony and pace of the PD were determined. According to the number of permanent teeth and the severity of secondary sexual characteristics, the biological age (BA) was determined.
A decrease in the number of schoolchildren with BA, corresponding to the passport one, with a harmonious PD against the background of an increase in the proportion of boys and girls with extreme developmental options was revealed: body weight. Almost 70 % of schoolchildren examined in 2021 have minor or significant deviations in visual acuity and other visual impairments. There is also an increase in schoolchildren with violations of the form of posture and foot, with a decrease in physical capabilities against the background of a sedentary lifestyle.

Published: November 2023

The study is devoted to determining the impact of the pandemic period on the dynamics, level, and pace of development of the basic physical qualities of the 1st and 2nd year students.
Relevance. The relevance of this study is due to the contradictory information on dynamics of students’ motion preparedness during the self-isolation. There is no information about the rate of physical qualities development of 1–3-year students during the new normal.
Objective. The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of distance learning on the dynamics, level, and pace of development of the basic physical qualities of 1-2-year students.
Materials and methods. The distance education program was implemented during the spring semester of the first year and during the autumn semester of the second year.
Results. It has been established that during the period from the beginning of the first year to the beginning of the second year there was no negative impact of distance education during the spring semester of 2020 influencing the dynamics of the general physical preparedness of the 1st year female students.
1st year male students had a significant decrease in several aspects of individual general physical preparedness (strength of the arm flexor muscles and flexibility). Self-isolation during the autumn semester of the second year led to a significant decrease in endurance, both among male and female students.
Conclusion. There was no negative impact of the pandemic period during the spring semester of the first year and the subsequent summer vacation period on the level of development of the basic physical qualities of female students. The level was estimated at the beginning of the second year.
Distance education during the autumn semester of the second year led to a significant decrease in the level of development of the general physical preparedness among female students, which was estimated at the end of the academic year. The pandemic period during the spring semester of the first year and the subsequent summer vacation period had a negative impact on the level of development of the strength of the arm flexor muscles and the flexibility of male students, which was estimated at the beginning of the second year.
Self-isolation in the autumn semester of the second year had a negative impact on the level of endurance of male students, which was estimated at the end of the academic year.
Distance education during the autumn semester of the academic year did not affect the pace of development of the basic physical qualities of the 2nd year male and female students.

Published: November 2023

The game indicators of the “Chelbasket” basketball club have been identified, having the greatest relationship with the game effectiveness in attack and with that defense. Based on the results obtained, practical recommendations for the team are formulated.
For a detailed analysis of the basketball team’s game, a number of game indicators are used characterizing the team’s actions both in attack and defense. It allows optimizing the training process and the team’s preparation in order to increase the game effectiveness.
The research aim is to study the main game indicators of the “Chelbasket” basketball club to identify those having a great relationship with the game effectiveness in attack and that in defense.
Correlation analysis revealed the relationship of individual game indicators of the “Chelbasket” basketball club with the number of points scored and missed.
The highest correlation with the number of points scored was found in the following indicators: offensive passes, two-point shots, three-point shots and ball tackling. The greatest impact on reducing the missed points number is provided by such indicators as defensive rebounds, offensive rebounds and the total number of rebounds. At the same time, the number of the team’s own fouls has a significant impact on increasing the number of missed points.
The training process and tactical preparation of the “Chelbasket” basketball club should be planned taking into account the results obtained, paying special attention to improving precisely those indicators that have a great relationship with the game effectiveness and the number of points missed.
The Gendered Contribution of Neria to the Repertoire of African Filmmaking
Authors: Witness Roya , Sandiso Ngcobo 
Published: November 2023

In an epoch-changing moment in Zimbabwean film history, Neria was produced by Media for Development (MFD) in 1991. It was the first locally produced film to portray relatively strong black women as shown by the titular character who resolutely fights her greedy in-law for her late husband’s estate. Neria remains Zimbabwe’s most popular film and has elicited analyses in books, films and reviews among other commentaries. Though they note empowerment of women in the film, most of these studies tend to pit women against men yet male and female characters support Neria’s cause. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the contribution made by the Neria film in promoting gender equality in an African cultural context. Womanism which asserts that abuse of women is an aberration from African culture provided theoretical grounding to the paper. Research questions that guided the study are: (i) What is the representation of male and female relationships in Neria? (ii) To what extent does this reflect Zimbabwean society? (iii) What are the factors that influence this portrayal? The research methodology adopted for this study is qualitative and purposeful sampling since it involves visual analysis of the film that is reported in words. Research findings are discussed thematically using eight themes that emerged from collected visual data that is presented qualitatively. The findings revealed that Neria exposes gender inequality in Shona traditional culture and calls for its integration with western culture albeit at times it seems too moralistic. Apparently due to the film’s external funding, it fails to link moral decadence to materialism brought by western cultures. This paper recommends concerted efforts from the government, individuals and organizations in training film personnel and funding films without undue interference. Moreover, films like Neria ought to increase the usage of indigenous languages such as Shona and Ndebele with English subtitles especially in emotional scenes for them to be more comprehensible.

Emergency Department Overcrowding in Canada
Authors: CADTH  
Published: November 2023

What Is the Issue?

Emergency departments (EDs) across Canada are under strain and experiencing overcrowding, a situation that arises when the demand for health services in the ED exceeds the capacity of the health system — which includes the ED, hospital, and community — to provide quality care in a reasonable amount of time.
ED overcrowding is contributing to a deteriorating standard of care as health care providers and staff become overworked and burned out, is putting health and lives at risk, and is placing additional strain on an already overwhelmed health care system.

What Did We Do?

The CADTH Health Technology Expert Review Panel (HTERP) convened to develop objective, impartial, trusted pan-Canadian guidance to inform decisions about which evidence-informed solutions should be considered to help alleviate ED overcrowding in Canada.

What Is HTERP’s Position on ED Overcrowding?

ED overcrowding is a complex health system issue. EDs operate within hospitals and broader health and social systems, which means that accountability for causes, impacts, and solutions do not lie solely within the ED and its operations.
Output factors (e.g., misalignment between acute care bed capacity within the hospital and population needs) and input factors (e.g., misalignment between care available in the community and population needs, including care outside of regular business hours) respectively, are the main contributors to ED overcrowding in Canada. Health system capacity is not aligned with, nor has kept pace with, the growing and changing health care needs of the population, which results in overcrowded EDs.
Health systems will observe better results by implementing strategies that improve patient flow and focus on output and input factors relative to throughput factors.

What Is HTERP’s Guidance to Help Alleviate ED Overcrowding?

Interventions to alleviate overcrowding need to align with the main contributing factors to ED overcrowding in the particular context in which they will be implemented.
Understanding the context in which ED overcrowding is occurring, with attention to bottlenecks to patient flow, should be the first step to identify evidence-informed solutions.
Transparency and accountability should be key principles in ED, hospital, and health system operations. HTERP recommends identifying and ensuring clear roles, responsibilities, and reporting relationships embedded within an accountability framework for ED overcrowding across health system partners, including a commitment to act on data.
Each province and territory should mandate consistent and comprehensive reporting by all hospitals to the Canadian Institute of Health Information’s National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS) database.
HTERP’s guidance includes an Evidence Navigation Guide to support identification of evidence-informed interventions to help alleviate ED overcrowding.
