Relationship between throwing distance, shoulder joint range of motion, and upper limb muscle strength in boccia athletes

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between throwing distance, shoulder joint range of motion and upper limb muscle strength in boccia athletes. Participants were eight boccia athletes (cerebral palsy, cervical spinal cord injury, muscular dystrophy, spinal muscle atrophy) in whom throwing distance, ranges of motion at the shoulder joint, elbow joint and wrist joint and upper limb muscle strength were measured. Throwing distance was measured to the point where the ball landed so to remove any effect of the floor. Upper limb muscle strength was measured by isometric contraction using a handheld dynamometer. No correlation was found between throwing distance and range of motion of the shoulder joint, but correlations were found between throwing distance and strength of shoulder flexors (r = 0.76, p < .05), shoulder abductors (r = 0.84, p < .01), and elbow flexors (r = 0.77, p < .05). Active training to improve muscle strength around the shoulder joint, regardless of the underlying disease, was considered likely to lead to improvements in competitiveness. Due to the severe dysfunction of boccia athletes, training methods are often restricted. Verification of more effective training methods is needed while managing risks according to the physical function of the athlete and the type of disability.

MULTICULTURAL BASES OF STUDENTS CIVIC IDENTITY FORMATION IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

The article substantiates the main priority and innovative ideas of this problem in theory and practice, examines the semantic meaning of the concepts of "multicultural education", "multicultural upbringing", "civic identity", "tolerance", and identifies effective forms and interactive methods of education and training with school and university students in the context of reforming the education system. Three levels of multicultural education are highlighted, including ethnic, civic and global (planetary). It is noted that multicultural education synthesizes knowledge about culture, which is the property of the civilized world, about ethnic culture, about national culture as a product of historical mutual enrichment and interpenetration of ethnic cultures. It is emphasized that the very concept of "multicultural education" is inextricably linked with the concept of "civic identity" in the meaning that the latter as a form of social life of a person encompasses "the feeling of being a part of society and the desire to be an active member of it in the present and future. The author characterizes the technology of education of the culture of personal self-affirmation, which actualizes the multicultural focus, active civic position of the student's personality. The described innovative program on English language teaching methods developed by the British Council in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine within the framework of the project "New Generation School Teacher" focuses on the formation of students' professional and pedagogical competences of future teachers, the development of critical thinking, initiative, creativity, independent thinking, and active citizenship in the socio-cultural reality. The author summarizes that the analysis of domestic and foreign experience makes it possible to comprehensively study the problems of civic identity and tolerance in the context of multiculturalism of the modern educational space. Therefore, it is undoubtedly especially valuable to clearly define and substantiate a conceptually oriented perspective which would contribute to the development of active civic position of pupils and student youth, the formation of national consciousness, the formation of high moral feelings and habits, would ensure the creation of a positive system of pupils' and students' attitudes towards reality, and establish tolerant intercultural relations in various activities. Key words: multicultural education, multicultural upbringing, tolerance, intercultural communication, civic identity, culture of personal self-affirmation, interactive methods, personality-oriented approach.

Does deliberate practice surpass didactic training in learning empathy skills? – A randomized controlled study

A large body of research identifies therapist expressed empathy as one of the most important predictors of psychotherapy outcome. Deliberate practice (DP) is an effective method to improve skills in many fields. We asked if DP also can be used to enhance the skill of expressing empathy. Objective: The aim was to compare the efficacy of DP to didactical learning methods (DLM) in enhancing the skill of empathic expression in students. Method: A repeated measures randomized controlled group design was used. Novice students (N = 36) from psychologist-, medicine-, social work-, and nursing programs received two training sessions of either DP (n = 21) or DLM (n = 15). Participants’ skills in empathic expression were assessed with the Measure of Expressed Empathy (MEE) on three occasions: before the first, between, and after the last training session. Results: Participants in the DP-group showed improved empathic expression, whereas participants in the DLM-group did not. Conclusions: These findings suggest that DP is an effective training method for therapeutic skills such as empathic expression and holds implications for the future development of educational practices to incorporate active skill training methods.

Enhancing early parenting in the community: Preliminary results from a learning collaborative approach to scale up Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up.

Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC) is a promising home-visiting intervention promoting sensitive caregiving and secure parent-child attachment in families with young children. The goal of this study was to examine a learning collaborative approach to disseminating ABC in a community setting. Training outcomes (e.g., trainee completion, satisfaction, effectiveness of training methods) and intervention outcomes (e.g., parent behavior, parent beliefs, child socioemotional development) were examined. Eighteen practitioners participated in the ABC learning collaborative; 13 completed training. Quantitative and qualitative measures indicated that trainees were satisfied with their experience and valued the unique collaboration opportunities offered by the learning collaborative. In addition, trainees served 67 families in the community, 37 of whom completed all sessions of ABC. The study was conducted in the United States. Racial demographics of the children in the sample included: 56.7% White, 22.4% Black/African-American, 17.9% Bi- or Multi-racial, and 3.0% unknown. Regarding ethnicity, 80.6% were Non-Hispanic/Latino, 10.4% were Hispanic/Latino, and 9.0% were unknown. Caregivers who completed ABC showed more sensitive parenting behavior and reported positive changes in their perceived self-efficacy and their beliefs around infant crying. Children who received ABC showed increased socioemotional functioning. Results demonstrate successful dissemination of ABC in the community using a learning collaborative approach.

Effect of training methods and body mass index on ankle injury in futsal players

Rationale and purpose This study aims to determine the effect of training methods (elastic resistance bands and wobble boards) and body mass index on ankle injuries in futsal players. Material and Methods This research refers to a quantitative approach. The research used in this study is quasi-experimental design research. The normality test uses the Shapiro Wilk test, with the rule that if the value (p) > 0.05 then it is normally distributed. The homogeneity test uses the Levene’s Test. Test the hypothesis to determine the difference in influence between 2 variables will use the two-way ANAVA test. Results The use of a wobble board produces a better improvement effect especially on balance and coordination. This happens because the movement when doing the wobble board requires good balance and coordination, almost all the muscles of the body will work together to adapt to this exercise. In elastic resistance band exercises it is done with isometric muscle contractions, because it will give a reaction but there is no change in muscle length, only the muscles increase. The effect of training using elastic resistance bands will increase blood circulation in joints and bone nutrition, improve the circulatory system with pull band movements. In relation to the search for both high body mass index and low body mass index, it was found that the use of the training method with a wobble board is better when compared to the training method with elastic resistance bands. So that there is no significant interaction between training methods and body mass index. Hypothesis Test I: to test the significance of two paired samples in the treatment group with normally distributed data, a parametric test was used, namely the paired sample t-test. Data on the results of hypothesis testing I from the analysis p = 0,009 it was found that there was an effect of giving Elastic resistance band and wobble board training methods to ankle injuries of futsal players. Hypothesis Test II: can be seen that the results of the paired sample t-test for SEBT from the data obtained p = 0,704 this means that Ha is rejected and Ho is accepted. So it can be concluded that body mass index has no effects on ankle injuries in futsal players. Hypothesis Test III: There is no interaction between training methods and body mass index on ankle injuries of futsal players. From the analysis of variance, the p-value = 0,477 is less than 0,05. Conclusions Based on the research, it can be interpreted that there are differences in the effect of the training methods given to futsal players’ ankle injuries. This is evidenced by the significance value of p = 0,003 <α (0,05). There is no difference in the effect of body mass index on ankle injuries in futsal players as evidenced by the test results, namely the significant value of p = 0,265 > α (0,05). There is no interaction between training methods and body mass index on ankle injuries of futsal players with a significance of 0,813.

Effects of Aerobic and Speed Training Versus Active Control on Repeated Sprint Ability and Measures of Self-confidence and Anxiety in Highly Trained Male Soccer Players

BackgroundWhile there is ample evidence on the effects of single-mode aerobic and speed training on physical fitness in soccer players, less is known on the combined effects of these exercise regimens on physical and psychological factors.AimThis study aimed to compare the effects of aerobic and speed training with soccer-specific training versus soccer-specific training only on aerobic performance during the YOYO intermittent fitness test level 1 (final velocity, total distance [TD], maximal oxygen consumption [VO2max]), repeated sprint ability (best, total sprint time [RSABT, RSATT], sprint decrement [RSA dec]) performance and somatic anxiety (SA), cognitive anxiety (CA), and self-confidence (SC) adaptations in soccer players.MethodsThirty-eight highly trained male athletes aged 18.9 ± 0.5 years were randomly assigned to an aerobic and speed training group (COMB-G; n = 20) or an active control group (CON-G; n = 18). Aerobic training comprised intermittent exercises at 110–120% of the final velocity achieved at the end of the YOYO IL1 test. Speed training involved maximal sprints over 15–20-m with 5–6 sets per session. Aerobic or speed training lasted 20 min per session and replaced parts of the soccer-specific training. CON-G performed the soccer-specific training including technical, tactical drills and small-sided games. Training volume was similar between groups. Pre, post intervention, all participants performed a repeated-sprint ability (RSA) test, the YO-YO IL1 test and the players completed a Competitive Scale Anxiety Inventory (CSAI-2).ResultsA two (group: COMB-G, CON-G) by two (time: pre, post) mixed ANOVA (group-by-time) was computed. Significant group-by-time interactions were found for RSATT (F = 117.3; p < 0.001; Pη2 = 1.78), RSABT (F = 82.4; p < 0.001; Pη2 = 1.53), final velocity (F = 85.8; p < 0.001; Pη2 = 1.53), TD (F = 87.1; p < 0.001; Pη2 = 1.56), and VO2max (F = 18.0; p < 0.001; Pη2 = 0.72). In addition, significant group-by-time interactions were observed for SC (F = 90.2; p < 0.001; d = 1.60), SA (F = 60.5; p < 0.001; Pη2 = 1.70), and CA (F = 20.7; p < 0.001; Pη2 = 0.75). Post-hoc analyses indicated significant improvements for all dependent variables from pre- to post-training in favor of COMB-G.ConclusionAerobic and speed training in combination with soccer-specific training is a safe and effective training method as it exerts positive effects not only for physical fitness but also for self-confidence and the coping of anxiety in male soccer players.

Training neural networks from an ergodic perspective

In this research, we viewed the weights of a neural network as points in a metric space. We proposed that the process of training a neural network can be seen as an iterated function system on this space. Additionally, we found that the most effective training method involves starting with initial weights that are very close to the minimum error. We also provided an ergodic characterization of this efficient training. Our findings suggest that there is potential for further optimization advancements through numerical experimentation and the study of dynamical systems theory.

Psychological Training Method for Table Tennis Players Using Deep Learning

In China, table tennis has always been one of the most popular sports, with small field restrictions and it is simple and fun to play. But what is unknown is that with China’s major table tennis events thriving, the psychological pressure of table tennis players’ training is also increasing. However, the existing training methods obviously do not pay enough attention to psychological training, and there is no complete system for psychological training. Although the current dynamic heart rate measurement method can play a certain role in the detection, there is still the disadvantage of low detection accuracy. The heart rate is an important sign of life, and the monitoring of the heart rate of table tennis players should be strengthened, reflecting the functional state of the athletes’ heart, and facilitating the more intuitive adjustment of the psychological training method of athletes. The heart rate measurement method based on face recognition contains a plate content that is rich. Through deep learning face recognition, the heart rate measurement method has high calculation efficiency, can effectively eliminate the influence of other external environmental factors, can use video recording, and can use face recognition and physiological parameters’ quantification to monitor athletes’ heart rate changes in real time; the visible artificial intelligence auxiliary diagnosis potential is huge. To this end, this paper aims to provide effective suggestions for the psychological training of table tennis players with deep learning as the technical support. In response to this, the aim of this paper was to design a deep learning-based face recognition heart rate measurement method that judges the psychological fluctuations of athletes through changes in heart rate. We conducted a questionnaire survey with the table tennis players of the Hunan team as the object of investigation, so as to understand the source of the psychological pressure of athletes and make reasonable suggestions. The experimental results of this paper show that the heart rate error of the video heart rate measurement algorithm is within 3% in the calm state and within 4% in the post-exercise state. This can effectively measure psychological fluctuations, and through investigation and research, it can provide an effective method for the psychological training of table tennis players.

CONTENT STRATEGIES OF TRANSLATORS’ TRAINING IN COLLEGES

Translators training programs have been or are going to be introduced in some colleges at the level of professional junior bachelor, which can be explained by the increased demand for such specialists in different fields. The article studies the case of Viacheslav Chornovil Halytskyi Professional College which was among the first institutions that developed and introduced the professional junior bachelor program of translator training. The article identifies the peculiarities of professional translator training in colleges, grounds the most effective strategies of educational program and syllabus design; determines effective methods of professional translator training in colleges.&#x0D; Three different design strategies are usually determined in modern literature – forward design, central design, and backward design. Forward design means developing a program/curriculum starting with content, then moving to process, and then to outcomes. Central design focuses first on the process and classroom methodology and then deals with content and outcomes. Backward design starts from outcomes and then determines content and process.&#x0D; The analysis of professional translator training in colleges enabled the conclusions that backward design seems to be the most appropriate for education program development; forward and backward designs can be recommended for syllabus development; Content and Language Integrated Learning with reasonable use of authentic scenarios, activities and immersion in professional situations proved its effectiveness.

Effect of gum-chewing exercise on maintaining and improving oral function in older adults: A pilot randomized controlled trial

Background/purposeGum chewing has been found to improve oral function. Nevertheless, few randomized controlled trials have investigated the effects of gum-chewing exercises on oral function in older adults. This study aimed to examine the effect of gum-chewing exercises on oral function in older adults. Materials and methodsThis was a single-blind, randomized controlled trial, conducted from November 2021 to January 2022. A total of 130 participants were divided randomly into the intervention and control groups. The intervention group was told to chew experimental gums for one month, while the control group was instructed to chew experimental tablets for one month. Maximum bite force, occlusal contact areas, oral dryness, tongue pressure, tongue and lip functions (number of times each of the following syllables is pronounced per second:/pa/,/ta/, and/ka/), masticatory function, subjective masticatory function, and gum-chewing time were measured at baseline and one month following intervention to assess outcomes. ResultsOne month following the intervention, tongue pressure was significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group (P = 0.027). In the within-group comparisons, maximum bite force (P < 0.001), unstimulated saliva flow (P < 0.001), tongue and lip functions (/pa/: P < 0.001;/ta/: P < 0.001;/ka/: P < 0.001), color scale value (P = 0.019), and ΔE value (P = 0.024) were significantly increased in the intervention group. ConclusionThe results suggest that gum-chewing exercises can improve oral functions in older adults, although additional increases in masticatory load may be necessary to establish a more effective oral function training method using gum-chewing exercises in older adults.

Simulation as a key training method for inculcating public health leadership skills: a mixed methods study.

Successful management of public health challenges requires developing and nurturing leadership competencies. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of training simulations to assess public health leadership and decision-making competencies during emergencies as an effective learning and training method. We examined the effects of two simulation scenarios on public health school students in terms of their experience (compared to face-to-face learning) and new skills acquired for dealing with similar emergent situations in the future. A mixed-methods design included developing a validated and pre-tested questionnaire with open-and closed-ended questions that examined the simulation impact and the degree of student satisfaction with the conditions in which it was conducted. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with the students after going through the simulations. The questionnaire results were evaluated using descriptive analytics. The interviews were analyzed using thematic analyses. All data were collected during June 2022. The questionnaire results indicate that students strengthened their interpersonal communication skills and learned about the importance of listening to the opinions of others before formulating their positions. Four themes emerged from 16 in-depth interviews, according to Kolb's experimental learning cycle. Students emphasized the effectiveness of experiential learning versus traditional classroom learning. The simulation scenarios were felt to realistically convey critical issues regarding leadership, decision-making, and teamwork challenges. They effectively conveyed the importance of building a culture of conducting substantive and respectful discussions. Simulation is a powerful pedagogical training tool for public health leadership competencies. Simulations were seen to be advantageous over face-to-face learning in imparting a range of leadership skills and hands-on practice. We recommend integrating simulations in all public health leadership training programs.

Detachable image decomposition and illumination mapping search for low-light image enhancement

Low-light image enhancement is a fundamental low-level computer vision task that has a wide range of applications, such as night monitoring, all-weather automatic driving, back-light imaging, and so on. In this paper, we propose a novel four-stage detachable framework for low-light image enhancement, where each module can be trained and fine-tuned separately. More importantly, the proposed framework can effectively be adapted to unseen datasets. In the first stage, we propose an image decomposition network that can extract a pair of a reflectance map and an illumination map given an image with arbitrary lighting conditions. The proposed loss function ensures that images of the same scene with different lighting conditions share the same reflectance map. Instead of using gamma correction, we establish an automatic searching scheme in the second stage to find an explicit mapping relationship between illumination maps in different lighting conditions. In the third stage, we use an efficient and effective unsupervised training method to find the best parameter set for the mapping. Finally, a normal-light image is obtained by composing together its reflectance map and transformed illumination map. A series of experiments are conducted on several popular datasets, and the results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method on unseen datasets. Our framework surpasses other state-of-the-art methods and is applicable to enhance images in a wide range of lighting conditions.

303 Burn Rehabilitation Training for the Pediatric Burn Critical Care RN

Abstract Introduction New registered nurses (RNs) in the burn pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) need extensive pediatric, critical care, and wound care training. Each of these specialties present a challenging learning curve to the new RN and can overshadow the RN’s focus on burn rehabilitation. Our goal was to improve the RN’s understanding of the importance of early rehabilitative care and their role in the provision of burn rehabilitation in the burn PICU setting. Methods We developed an interdisciplinary program which allowed the RN to work alongside burn physical and occupational therapists. The aim of the program was to teach the participants the importance of early and consistent splinting, positioning, mobilization, and other therapeutic interventions and to learn how to incorporate these techniques into their nursing plan of care. Over two years, nine RNs participated in a four-hour shadow program with a senior physical and occupational therapist. The therapists provided direct hands-on training with patients across the care continuum focusing on competencies aligned with the American Burn Association’s Burn Nurse Competencies. The RNs completed a self-assessment tool to score their self-perceived knowledge related to burn rehabilitation. The self-assessment included a 10-question Likert-scale survey, based on Benner’s Novice to Expert Model. Scoring aligned with the Benner Stages of Clinical Competence: 10 = Novice, 20 = Advanced Beginner, 30 = Competent, 40 = Proficient, and 50 = Expert. The survey was completed pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention, and 3-6 months post-intervention. Results Nine RNs completed the serial surveys. The median years of nursing experience was 2.5 (2-3.5) years. The training was provided at a median time of 4 (3.1-4.6) months after orientation completion. The median score for the pre-intervention assessment was 19 (16-25). The immediate post-intervention score significantly increased to a median of 30 (25-31) (p=0.006) and was maintained at 3-6 months post-intervention (32 (29-37) p=0.0002). There was no significant difference in assessment scores between the immediate post intervention and the 3-6 month post intervention assessment (p=0.25). All median values are median (interquartile range) and significance level was set at a p&amp;lt; 0.05. Conclusions New RNs in the burn pediatric critical care unit have a tremendous learning curve. Our training model demonstrates that there may be improved competency when learning is introduced in staged approaches. Additionally, burn rehabilitation in the PICU requires a transdisciplinary understanding of the patient’s needs. Our training program demonstrates that collaboration across professional disciplines to provide nursing education can improve the clinical competency of new RNs. Applicability of Research to Practice Identifying more efficient and effective methods of new RN training can improve the delivery of nursing care and improve patient outcomes.

Pilates-mat training and detraining: Effects on body composition and physical fitness in pilates-trained women

IntroductionPilates-mat is an effective training method to enhance several physiological and fitness parameters, although the effects of pilates-mat detraining on body composition and physical fitness remains largely unknown. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of pilates-mat training and detraining on body composition and physical fitness in pilates-trained females. MethodsTwenty females (age: 45.1 ± 8.7 years) followed an 8-week pilates-mat training program followed by a 3-week detraining period. Measurements performed at the beginning of the training intervention, at the end of the 8-week training program and at the end of the 3-week detraining period and included: anthropometric characteristics, body composition analysis, thigh, hip and waist circumferences, blood pressure, heart rate at rest (HRr), maximum handgrip strength, abdominal curls, lower body flexibility and aerobic capacity. ResultsPilates-mat training significantly decreased body fat percentage (BF%), visceral fat and HRr (p < 0.05) but these variables returned to baseline after detraining. Trunk fat, thigh and waist circumferences decreased significantly after training and remained significantly low following detraining (p < 0.05). Abdominal curls, lower body flexibility and aerobic capacity increased significantly following pilates-mat training and remained unchanged after detraining (p < 0.05). ConclusionsThese results suggest that 8 weeks of pilates-mat training enhanced body composition and physical fitness and these physiological and physical fitness benefits were remained unaltered during the 3-week of pilates-mat detraining period. However, BF% and visceral fat returned to baseline levels following the detraining period suggesting that for maintaining the reduction in BF% and visceral fat a long-period of pilates-mat detraining should be avoided.
