Prevalence of peritonsillar abscesses in children of the Tyumen region

Introduction. Peritonsillar abscess (PTA) is a suppuration of the peritonsillar fiber, which is more often a complication of acute tonsillitis, requires urgent medical care. Issues of diagnosis and treatment of PTA are one of the urgent problems of pediatric otorhinolaryngology. The main peak of the incidence occurs in adolescence, which is associated with a change in the immunobiological properties of the body at this age. In children under 3 years of age, the disease is extremely rare, but the increase in the number of PTA in children from 4.2 to 12.1% and the development of peritonsillitis in children under 3 years of age are alarming about the severity of post-streptococcal complications. Timely diagnosis, treatment and prevention of PTA are essential to prevent potential serious complications.Aim.

THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF RESEARCHING OF THE TOPIC OF WAR IN TOYS AND PLAY ACTIVITIES OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

The actuality of the study is determined by the need for reaction of teachers and scientists to the phenomena that children reflect in the game – military actions. The professional inadequacy of the methodology for organizing military-themed games encourages scientific research to provide adequate support to teachers and practitioners in wartime. The purpose of the article is to determine the features of military toys, toy weapons usage investigating the theme of war in preschool children’s play activities by analyzing and summarizing the views of child psychologists, psychotherapists, kindergarten teachers and scientists. The following methods were used for the study: analysis, generalization, synthesis. The idea of leisure militarization penetrated not only the games of preschool children, but also children of middle and high school age. The main mechanics were to seize territories and increase military power: men’s and technical. If the role of an adult does not have a purposeful positive impact, then such games will be identified by spontaneity, conflict, consolidation of psychological attitudes, the stronger player wins, and moral norms in such games are not valid.
 The results of scientific research are accumulated in the following features: children's games on the theme of war and toy weapons usage have a deep historical origin from the stable stereotypical views on the upbringing of boys and girls; the theme of war and the plots of military events penetrate all kinds of children's games: creative and with rules, while their interpenetration and mutual enrichment is noticeable; games and toys can be the subject of ideological and military reflection and influence of different political and historical periods; such games can reflect the experienced traumatic events, and be necessary means of preventive and psychotherapeutic treatment, etc. It is noted that the organization of children's military-themed games ensures preschoolers’ value orientations formation: patriotism, respect for a person and his life, the value of protecting the Motherland, interest in military’s heroic deeds etc.

Organizational and psychological features of attracting children of middle school age to health-improving motor activity

The article substantiates the organizational and methodological features of attracting children of middle school age to recreational activities on roller skates and skiing. According to the results of Aizenko's test, among 36 adolescents, 44.4% were found to be choleric, 33.3% - sanguine, 11.1% - melancholic, 11.1% - phlegmatic types of temperament. For every kind of temperament, average values were determined by categories of motivation. So, in adolescents of the sanguine type of temperament, the highest level of motivation is the approval of the coach (peers) and self- improvement; the lowest level - is material reward and staying in competitive conditions. For adolescents of the melancholic type of temperament, the highest level of motivation is the approval of the coach and peers, competition, friendship, and team relationships. The lowest level is staying in competition conditions. For adolescents of the choleric temperament type, the highest level of motivation is physical fitness, interest in competitive activity, and training as a means of comprehensive self- improvement. Material rewards and attractiveness to the opposite sex have the least motivational influence. The top categories of motivation for adolescents with the phlegmatic type of temperament are self-improvement and increased physical fitness. The lowest level is the attraction to the opposite sex and being in competitive conditions. Methodological recommendations are proposed for involving children of middle school age in recreational and health-improving physical activity.

THE INFLUENCE OF SWIMMING ON THE FORMATION OF PLASTICITY OF MOVEMENTS IN FEMALE STUDENTS OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

The article determines the influence of swimming classes on the formation of plasticity of movements in female students of higher education institutions of non-pedagogical specialties.
 The concept of plasticity of movements and their components in special literature is considered, as well as their role in the general system of personal values of female students of higher education institutions is determined. It was established that the plasticity of movements is an important component of the general culture of the individual, and its formation is an integral component of the education of an intelligent person and the most attractive motive for swimming lessons. In addition, plasticity of movements is an indicator of performance skill, and its main components are: appearance and manner of holding, plasticity, amplitude of movements, purity of execution, consistency of movements by different parts of the body and harmonious combination of movements. A large part of scientific works is dedicated to the study of the formation of plasticity of movements in swimming lessons, while children of middle school age remain outside the attention of physical rehabilitation specialists. After all, it is known that student age is a period that is accompanied by significant changes in the activity of all physiological systems: energy processes are more intense, the cardiovascular system undergoes significant changes, muscle mass increases, endurance develops, the development of motor coordination ends, and posture changes.

Features of formation of the cognitive activity of children of middle school age using simple experiments

The article reveals the content of the concept of cognitive activity of children of middle preschool age, which was considered through the prism of the child's personal development and its influence on the child's intellectual sphere, therefore, cognitive activity develops through cognitive operation. The peculiarities of the use of simple experiments in the preschool education institution, which create prerequisites for the formation of cognitive activity, intuition towards nature and understanding of its meaning and acquisition of nature research skills, are analyzed. Identified components of cognitive activity: motivational, cognitive, activity, evaluative. The following practices (interviews with educators, questionnaires) and research methods were determined for pedagogical diagnosis of the levels of formation of the cognitive activity of children of middle preschool age: diagnostic method of cognitive development "What objects are hidden in the pictures?" (R. Nemov), the method of diagnosing the psychosocial maturity of children's behavior (O. Taran), the method of D. Godovikova, the method of examining the cognitive development of children by E. Strebeleva. The presented results of an experimental study of the peculiarities of formation of the cognitive activity of children of middle preschool age showed mainly an average and low level of development. The presented method of forming the cognitive activity of children of middle preschool age by means of simple experiments provided for a number of specially selected simple experiments that were included in classes from different sections of the program. The selected experiments were aimed at forming the cognitive activity of children of the middle group, and were diverse in terms of subject matter and duration. The results of observation of children after the implementation of the method showed increased interest in cognitive activities, motivation to independent search for the causes and consequences of various natural phenomena, etc

The study included five hundred forty children, such as 145 7-10 years children in group I, 395 11-14 years children in group II. The criteria for dividing into subgroups were based on calculating the Z-scores of the body mass index by age. Analysis of the obtained results was performed using generally accepted statistical methods. Results. Analysis of the study results indicated a suboptimal ratio of nutrient critical for population health, protein, carbohydrate, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), omega-3 (ω-3), fat surplus, saturated fatty acids and added sugar. Dietary patterns of boys with high BMI had large values of the proportion of saturated fatty acids to total calories, which exceeded optimal physiological norms in group I by 52.22% and in group II by 37.68%. Girls of group I with a high BMI had a greater value of the proportion of added sugar to the calorie content of the food diet - 74.63%. Limitations of the study. Dietary information was obtained through questionnaires, all information was obtained from a one-moment examination. Conclusion. Some of the factors associated with impaired nutriome formation in the study children were imbalance in dietary patterns and surplus added sugars, which demonstrates the need to improve nutrition strategies at the regional level based on current meta-analyses.

Особливості та модель формування “Я-образу” у школярів з тяжкими порушеннями мовлення

"I-image" is a component of "I-concept", where "I-concept" is taken as a complex dynamic system that develops under the influence of the life-long socio-cultural environment of the individual. "I-image" is considered a cognitive component of the "I-concept", which determines the deep essence of a human, their self, and authenticity. The development of "I-image" in children with normative development happens consistently, through awareness and perception of themselves as the subjects of activity, participants in the situation of interaction and communication in their families and society. Peculiarities of “I-image” in children of middle school age with typical development are not clearly described, and in children with severe speech disorders (hereinafter – SSD) they have not been specially studied. At the same time, there is reason to believe that the development of this component of consciousness can be specific in these children. In general, the problem is relevant for the study, especially when the inclusive form of education for these children is introduced and teachers complain about their age-inappropriate behavior in lessons, lack of independence in learning, and so on. Thus, the study of "Iimage" in this category of children can provide ways to solve a significant number of problems in their learning. The main objectives of the research were studying and characterizing the development of "I-image" in children of secondary school age and forming a program model for the harmonious development of "I-image" using lexical and semantic components of speech, taking into account the identified indicators. The study of "I-image" using the projective method "Human Drawing" and the analysis of collected materials allowed us to identify and present features of the development of "I-image" in middle schoolchildren with typical development and SSD on the following parameters: 1) compliance with physiological age; 2) attitude to one's appearance; 3) awareness of themselves, their inner potential; 4) self-control over their internal states and their external manifestations; 5) relations with society. It was found that deformations of the "I-image" are characteristic of both children with typical development and speech disorders, although each category has its own specifics. Thus, we found the necessity of directing correctional education to the formation of: 1) general awareness, which will expand the range of interests of the child necessary for future self-realization; 2) a conscious attitude to external and internal self (their real capabilities); 3) self-control; 4) conscious attitude to inner experiences and emotional manifestations.

An Investigation into Interrelations Between Trait Emotional Intelligence and Perfectionism in Middle School Aged Children

This research focuses on the detection of interrelations between perfectionism and trait emotional intelligence in children of middle school age. The Frost multidimensional scale of perfectionism (F-MPS) for the detection of the perfectionism level was used. The global level of trait emotional intelligence was measured with the trait emotional intelligence questionnaire for children (TEIQue-CSF). The research sample consisted of 120 middle school children between 10 to 12 years old. The sample comprised of 80 girls and 40 boys. The results of the research failed to reveal any statistically significant relations between perfectionism and trait emotional intelligence.

Features of speed endurance increase in swimmers of middle school age

The article considers the increase of special physical training, in particular, speed endurance in children of middle school age who are engaged in swimming. Increasing speed endurance is currently one of the most pressing issues in classes with children in sports sections, which is extremely acute in modern swimming in general. At the beginning of the study, a test was performed, which showed no significant differences between the performance of boys in both groups, ie at the beginning of the experiment they had the same level of development of functional abilities, including speed endurance. In the course of the research the technique aimed at the development of speed endurance in middle school children was used. At the end of the experiment, it was found that the performance of the swimmers of the experimental group was significantly higher, compared with the control group (62.1 ± 0.6s) in swimming 2x50m. It was 56.2 ± 0.2 s. The significance of the differences between these indicators was 9.33. In the 25 m swim without the participation of the legs, the result of the swimmers of the experimental group was 20.3 ± 0.8 s, and in the control - 25.8 ± 1.1 s. Significance of differences was established between them (t = 4.04). There is a positive growth of sports results of young swimmers. A high increase in results was found in the Cooper test - 19%, swimming in the distances of 25 meters - 10%, 100 meters - 9%, 800 meters - 9% and 200 meters - 8%. The influence on the functional state of children during the experiment, the use in the training process of exercises that are not specific to swimmers and aimed at improving the level of development of functional abilities, which created the conditions for the most effective special physical training.

The article reveals the problems of listening comprehension in a foreign-language audience, in particular, by students who are non-native speakers. The theoretical part is a brief characteristic of listening as a type of speech activity: the content of the term, its internal components – the psychophysiological mechanisms involved, the difficulties associated with them. In the practical part the authors of the article demonstrate exercises from the purposefully developed lesson on the removal of difficulties in the perception of sounding speech in non-native speakers children of middle school age, consisting in the systematic development of mechanisms of listening comprehension. Based on the analysis of the experimental lesson, solutions for systematic and consistent work in the classes within the additional remedial course in the Russian language in order to prevent errors and difficulties, as well as to facilitate the process of listening comprehension are proposed.

ПОДІЛЬСЬКЕ ПРИДНІСТЕР'Я, ЯК МОДЕЛЬНИЙ РЕГІОН ДЛЯ РОЗВИТКУ ЕКСТРЕМАЛЬНОГО ТУРИЗМУ

The purpose of the study – substantiate the possibilities for the development of extreme tourism within the Transnistria of Podillia, taking into account modern socio-economic conditions and the state of natural conditions and resources of the region. Research methodology. Analysis and generalization of available literary and cartographic sources and materials of own field landscape and tourism research using the principles of historicism and natural-anthropogenic combination. Processing, storage and visualization of analytical information by geoinformation methods using Delta software (version 5). Results. It is shown that the development of extreme tourism within the Transnistria of Podillia is facilitated by the «low-mountain» landscape in the structure of which there are deep (up to 200-220 m) canyon-like valleys of the Dniester and its left tributaries, almost «mountainous character» of rivers with waterfalls and numerous rapids, unique climatic conditions and vegetation. The relief and its forms are of particular importance for the development of extreme tourism here: the absolute heights of the surface decrease from north to south from 340 to 100 m, and the depth of incision of canyon-like river valleys from 60 to 220 m. The presence of steep (up to 400) slopes and cliffs up to 20 m high. The nature and landscape of Transnistria of Podillia is everywhere supplemented by numerous historical and architectural monuments, and is also reflected in the numerous and original traditions and customs of the local population. All together, it makes it possible to develop the tourism and recreational sphere, and extreme tourism in its structure, much more actively within the Transnistria of Podillia. Scientific novelty. Its essence is in a complex descriptionof natural and socio-economic conditions of Transnistria of Podillia suitable for the development of various types of extreme tourism, substantiation of their development, identification of priority types of extreme tourism in modern conditions and in the future. various types of extreme tourism, including training for children of middle and senior school age. The Tovtry of Podillia and Murafa are kind of «extreme» rest for elderly, especially a section of the Grand Canyon of the Dniester, the Kremenets and Podillia Mountains, the hollow sections of the channel of the Southern Bug and its tributaries.Their development in order to develop extreme types of tourism requires further detailed recreational and tourist research. Practical significance. The development of such types of extreme tourism as hot air ballooning, delta and paragliding tourism, parachuting, equestrian sports, Bicycle and hiking tourism, rafting tourism in the future, kayaking and jailoo tourism, hunting tourism and water tourism is justified. Territories in the area of the towns of Zalishchyky, Khotyn, Novodnistrovsk towns, as well as villages confined to the Dniester valley (Okopy, Bila, Busha) and its tributaries (Nyrkiv, Zavallia, Zaluchia, Stina) have similar natural and social conditions to this center of aeronautics. The rest of these types of extreme tourism, although developing within the Transnistria of Podillia, but still at a slow pace. Types of limited development include such types of extreme tourism as jail tourism, motorcycle racing in deserted terrain and extreme racing. It is noted that gradually extreme tourism can become a leader in the development of tourism and recreation not only in Transnistria of Podillia but also Podillia in general. This will allow not only to use more rationally public funds and funds of local communities, which are already allocated for the development of certain types of extreme tourism, jailoo tourism, motorcycle racing and extreme racing are classified as limited development but also to streamline their spontaneous manifestation and prevent injuries.

Leisure among Second-Generation Mexican-American Youth Residing in Underprivileged Communities in Southern California

The study explored leisure among second-generation Mexican-American youth residing in low-income communities in Southern California with a particular focus on how neighborhood features influenced their leisure participation; the strategies parents adopted to keep their children safe during leisure, and the effects of parental negotiation strategies on youth’s leisure. The study was framed by the Family Systems Theory and the socio-ecological model. Data were collected using individual semi-structured interviews with six families, including four fathers, six mothers, and six children of middle-school age. The findings revealed that two main neighborhood-level factors influenced youth’s participation in leisure: safety and space limitations. These features led to parents’ imposing restrictions on children’s leisure and adopting coping and negotiation strategies, which led to youth engaging mostly in passive, home-based activities, clustering of friends, and spending time with the family.

Information culture and media literacy in the structure of the library cultural and educational activities

Due to the active expansion of the media environment, convergent processes occurring in the modern socio-cultural space, there is a need to create information and educational platforms on forming information culture of population and, in particular, school-age children. The article describes the results of a study on creating favorable cultural and educational conditions for organizing systematic work on information culture and media literacy formation for children of middle and high school age in a library. The goal of the study is to build a universal model of the educational program with its subsequent implementation in the library environment. Its tasks were: 1) to make experiments on testing interactive lessons on the course «Information Culture in the Study of the Native Land Literature», developed according to the proposed universal model; 2) to analyze the results of experimental work; 3) to design the development program for the Information and Digital Culture Center of the Sakhalin Regional Universal Scientific Library for it to form information culture and media literacy for various population groups, in particular, the young generation. The article assesses the significance of the problem, describes the research parameters, and presents the results of testing the course "Information culture in the study of literature of the native land».

Education of endurance in children of middle school age in lessons of physical culture

The influence of a set of exercises on the development of endurance of secondary school students is revealed in the article. One of the factors that adversely affects the health of school-age children is the low mobility of life. Therefore, physical education occupies a special place in the system of physical education of school-age children. Physical fitness testing is an element of stage control both in the sports training system and in the practice of physical education. However, the ability of children of different ages to exercise some physical activity is limited by the adaptive potential of the growing organism's systems, and as practice shows, the reserve capacity of the student body is significantly reduced, which negatively affects the physical qualities of children, and especially endurance. Endurance is considered one of the basic motor abilities of the person. The endurance index with great precision indicates the overall health of the person and the functionality of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Analyzing the indicators of the level of endurance development in the studied contingent of children it is established that the level of endurance development of students of 4-5 grades, is equal to the mark of 3 points, which corresponds to the "average level". The study shows changes in the level of endurance development in students engaged in the recommended complexes and the relationship of endurance types with indicators of overall physical performance. The results of the correlation analysis showed the presence of a high correlation of static endurance with dynamic endurance (r = 0,883). Also, a high statistical relationship is observed in the study of the relationship of dynamic strength endurance and speed-endurance (r = 0,858). Preparing a physically healthy and in all respects advanced generation is an important task of our society. Properly organized physical education and sports, which should be included in the daily life of young people from an early age, occupy the first place in this task.
