FORMATION OF HEALTHY LIFESTYLE OF STUDENTS BY MEANS OF PHYSICAL TRAINING

In today's conditions, the problem of forming a healthy lifestyle among students is particularly relevant. The article analyses the causes, consequences and ways to overcome the problem of healthy lifestyles among young people. The reasons that have a negative impact on the health of young people include a lack of physical activity, bad habits, unhealthy diet, chronic stress, depression or anxiety, lack of sufficient awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle. It is emphasised that the promotion of a healthy lifestyle among students is an important strategic task of higher education institutions, which can be successfully solved in various forms of physical improvement. It is noted that physical education is one of the key components of a healthy lifestyle and its proper formation, as it motivates people to strive to live actively, move, do good deeds and be active members of a healthy society. It is important to inform young people about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and the dangers of unhealthy habits. Healthy lifestyle education should be systematic. It is stated that the formation of a healthy lifestyle should be carried out at three levels: social (information and educational work); infrastructure (specific conditions in the main spheres of life, preventive measures, environmental control); personal (system of human values, standardisation of everyday life). The creation and implementation of special programmes and projects will help young people to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

A Survey of Polynomial Multiplications for Lattice-Based Cryptosystems

We survey various mathematical tools used in software works multiplying polynomials in ℤ q [ x ] ⟨ x n − α x − β ⟩ . In particular, we survey implementation works targeting polynomial multiplications in lattice-based cryptosystems Dilithium, Kyber, NTRU, NTRU Prime, and Saber with instruction set architectures/extensions Armv7-M, Armv7E-M, Armv8-A, and AVX2. There are three emphases in this paper: (i) modular arithmetic, (ii) homomorphisms, and (iii) vectorization. For modular arithmetic, we survey Montgomery, Barrett, and Plantard multiplications. For homomorphisms, we survey (a) various homomorphisms such as Cooley–Tukey FFT, Good–Thomas FFT, Bruun's FFT, Rader's FFT, Karatsuba, and Toom–Cook; (b) various algebraic techniques for adjoining nice properties to the coefficient rings, including localization, Schönhage's FFT, Nussbaumer's FFT, and coefficient ring switching; and (c) various algebraic techniques related to the polynomial moduli, including twisting, composed multiplication, evaluation at ∞ , truncation, incomplete transformation, striding, and Toeplitz matrix-vector product. For vectorization, we survey the relations between homomorphisms and vector arithmetic. We then go through several case studies: We compare the implementations of modular multiplications used in Dilithium and Kyber, explain how the matrix-to-vector structure was exploited in Saber, and review the design choices of transformations for NTRU and NTRU Prime with vectorization. Finally, we outline several interesting implementation projects.

Influence of Public Participation on Implementation of County Government Projects: Case of Makueni County, Kenya

Projects are the foundation of local development in any nation that is developing. Despite the significance of county government projects to society, the majority of these initiatives have delayed, failed, or otherwise fallen short of their goals. The study aimed at assessing the influence of public participation on implementation of county government projects: case of Makueni County, Kenya. The study was guided by following specific objectives; to determine the influence of public participation in project identification process, budget preparation process, governance process and monitoring and evaluation process on implementation of Makueni county projects. A descriptive research design was used for this study. There were 330 project personnel working on projects throughout all Makueni County constituencies and this formed the study population. Thus, the target population was the project committee members, executive project management consultant members and technical officers involved in implementation of the projects for the last at least three years at Makueni sub-counties. Using a stratified random sampling procedure, 99 respondents (30% of the population) were chosen from the target population. The study used primary methods in data collection using questionnaires. Content analysis method was used to examine the qualitative data from the open-ended questions. The statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 22 was used to interpret the quantitative data from the closed-ended questions. Descriptive statistics, such as frequencies, percentages, standard deviation, and arithmetic mean, were used to examine the results. Inferential analysis was used in determination of the relationship between the variables. The results of the analysis were subsequently shown in charts and tables. The coefficient results show results that budget preparation process and governance process have a significant positive influence on project implementation, with standardized coefficients of 0.555 and 0.761, respectively. Meanwhile, monitoring and evaluation has a significant negative influence on project implementation with a standardized coefficient of -0.479. Project identification pross, on the other hand, does not have a statistically significant impact on project implementation.

Increasing Follow-Up Appointment Completion Rates in Transitions of Care.

Noncompletion of follow-up appointment requests is an ongoing problem due to competing staff responsibilities, technology challenges, and inadequate communication during hospital transitions to post-acute care. From 1 January 2019 to 31 March 2019, 58% of follow-up appointments requested by an acute care hospital on discharge were not ordered after transition of care to a skilled nursing facility (SNF) and 44% of SNF residents were readmitted to acute care within 30days. The follow-up appointment completion rate was 42%. Barriers associated with poor attendance of follow-up appointments were not documented. The purpose of the study is to implement a follow-up appointment completion protocol to increase follow-up appointment completion rates and identify barriers to decrease hospital readmission rates with the use of a computerized clinical information system. A 232-bed for-profit, corporate-owned SNF in the west suburb of Chicago that offers a variety of services in addition to skilled nursing care including short-term rehabilitation, physical therapy, and long-term care. An attendance log was utilized to evaluate stakeholder agreement and completion of staff training. Data were collected electronically via a password-protected Microsoft Excel spreadsheet by the project director to evaluate the completion of orders placed for follow-up appointments and chart audits were completed. A quantitative data analysis was completed to obtain the percentage of the number of key stakeholders in agreement of interventions, staff attendance to training sessions, and residents whose orders for follow-up appointments were entered into PointClickCare (PCC). To evaluate the barriers identified, completion of follow-up appointments, hospital readmission rates, and chart audits were completed throughout the project implementation and data were collected electronically via a password-protected Microsoft Excel spreadsheet by the project director. Post implementation data were collected biweekly for 1 month, and then again for 1, 2, and 3 months throughout the project implementation. A quantitative data analysis was completed to obtain the percentage of barriers identified, completion of follow-up appointments, and hospital readmission rates. 81% of admitted residents to the short-term care stay unit had orders for follow-up appointments. The follow-up appointment completion rate increased to 46% and the readmission rate decreased by 20%. Barriers were identified as non-scheduled appointments and resident refusal. Implementing a follow-up appointment protocol can significantly enhance the quality of patient care and operational efficiency. Regular follow-up appointments allow health care professionals to assess progress, manage medications, detect complications early, and provide necessary guidance and interventions for optimal outcomes. A follow-up appointment protocol can help streamline transitions between levels of care, ensuring patients receive timely and appropriate services.

Promoting running as the best treatment for lower back pain in physiotherapy practice: a best practice implementation project.

This project aimed to promote running as the best treatment for lower back pain (LBP) in an outpatient setting. LBP is one of the most prevalent conditions worldwide. Sixty-two percent of all Germans experience episodes of non-specific back pain at least once a year, with one-fifth developing chronic conditions. Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a natural process, contributing to periods of acute LBP. However, the scientific literature and guidelines partially overlook the significance of water management in IVD. This implementation project sought to address this gap by educating patients about this process. Running and/or walking were chosen as general approaches for treatment rather than specific disease-related approaches. This implementation project was conducted in an outpatient physiotherapy clinic in Brandenburg, Germany, utilizing the JBI Evidence Implementation Framework. An evidence-informed clinical audit and feedback strategy was used to measure compliance with ten audit criteria. Five physiotherapists and 20 patients took part in the audits. At baseline, only 20% of participating physiotherapists screened for yellow flags regarding psychological issues. However, after project implementation, this criterion scored 100% compliance. Some patients performed exercises independently, but confusion persisted regarding the choice of beneficial exercises. Patients continued running, but those who took a break due to pain expressed uncertainty about resuming. The project highlighted the effectiveness of collaborative efforts between patients and therapists to address the issue. The project team's conviction in action and solution strategies serves as the foundation for this collaboration. This implementation strategy provided "running" patients with the confidence to either resume or reintegrate running after an extended break. http://links.lww.com/IJEBH/A222.

Introducing multidisciplinary ward rounds in Malawi: a best practice implementation project.

The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) and the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) in the United Kingdom advocate the use of structured multidisciplinary team (MDT) ward rounds since they can enable safe, effective, improved care and enhanced staff satisfaction. This project sought to implement best practices for MDT ward rounds in a male medical ward in a hospital in Malawi. The project was conducted in line with the JBI Evidence Implementation Framework. A baseline audit of MDT ward rounds was conducted with six staff members. Audit criteria consisted of ten best practices, as recommended by JBI, the RCP, and the RCN. Stakeholder meetings were held to review the baseline audit results and highlight areas of non-compliance. JBI's Getting Research into Practice (GRiP) tool was used to identify barriers to compliance with best practices, and a follow-up audit was conducted to determine changes in practice. The results only showed improvement for one criterion, which rose from 33% to 100% (n=6) where nurses attended the ward round. This study demonstrated some challenges in evidence implementation projects and how these can, in part, be overcome. While the results only demonstrated improvement for one criterion, this paper shows how audits can be used to promote best practice, which in this case resulted in nurses being more involved in ward rounds, improvements in MDT communication, enhanced nurse inclusion in decision-making and, consequently, patient care. http://links.lww.com/IJEBH/A233.

Research in an intercultural context: mediator-investigators of epidemiological health studies, bridges between two worlds.

ContextFrench Guiana is a French overseas department where very different linguistic, cultural and societal populations live together in a small area. Health issues and their specific epidemiological profiles call for research projects crossing several cultures. In this context, health mediators have a role to play in research. The aim of this study was to describe the perceptions, attitudes and opinions on research of mediators and researchers collaborating on research projects, and to describe the strengths and difficulties encountered during this cooperation.MethodsThe Inter-med project was conducted in French Guiana between February 2022 and April 2023 on the base of semi-directive interviews with mediators, or researchers, all working in health research in the intercultural context of French Guiana. The socio-demographic characteristics of the participants were described. An inductive thematic analysis was carried out on all the interviews, and word occurrence analysis on certain themes. The information was triangulated with field coordination notebooks from two epidemiological surveys conducted in French Guiana between 2021 and 2022.ResultsA total of 26 semi-structured interviews were conducted and 1,328 notebook pages analyzed. Mediation was described as an indispensable interface between the world of research and that of the population targeted by a survey. Mediators have a role to play at different stages of projects, in respect of good clinical practice, ethics and legislation. They act as interfaces between languages, concepts and representations. Their profession remains under-defined and under-dimensioned. The jobs offered are often precarious. Mediation work is emotionally costly, calls on soft skills and requires a combination of rigor and flexibility. All these aspects are implemented in the specific world of research, where there are common concepts and divergent perceptions. Researchers and mediators converge on a common goal: improving health.ConclusionThis study covers several aspects of the development and implementation of research projects. Respect for good clinical practice and people, transparency and data quality are redundant concerns, and this study touches on ethnocentrism, stigmatization and cultural representations. This study points out that the integration and recognition of mediators could be beneficial in research conducted in a cross-cultural context.

HYDROGEOLOGICAL RESEARCH AND TERRAIN CHARACTERIZATION ON A SECTION OF ROAD 2B SARAJEVO-FOČA, AREA OF FBiH

Roadways are complex construction (line) facilities that have specific characteristics in terms of planning, design and execution of the route. Due to the length of the roads, many characteristics of the terrain such as lithological, hydrogeological, engineering geological and geomorphological change along the route, as a result of which different effects of endodynamic and exodynamic processes and phenomena occur on certain sections. This points to the necessity of an interdisciplinary approach when creating the conceptual and implementation project, in order to choose the optimal solution based on all the influencing parameters. The route of the road that passes through the Entity of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, for the most part stretches along the valley of the Željeznica and Dobrinja rivers. The section is located at stations 0+000.00 – 3+250.00, and continues at stations 19+800.00 – 26+100.00, and the total length is 9,550 m'. The area of the studied terrain is located in the zone of the inner Dinarides of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the pre- mountainous and moderate-continental climate prevails. The elevations of the terrain start at 505 m.a.s.l. in the part of the route near the Stupska petlje loop, and increase to an elevation of 535 m.a.s.l., in the part of Aerodromski settlement, while the second part of the section stac.19+800.00 – 26+100.00 is defined by elevations of 778 m.a.s.l. – 830 m.a.s.l. Key words: hydrogeological characteristics of the aquifer, route of the Sarajevo-Foča road.

Predicting the number of IT staff needed in hospitals of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences based on modeling in 2023: A descriptive-analytical study.

Considering the increasing use of information technology (IT) and the need of the implementation of related projects, the lack of IT specialists in the health system is one of the major challenges that require planning and foreseeing. This study was conducted with the aim of predicting the number of required IT personnel in hospitals of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences based on the modeling of identified and weighed influential factors in 2023. First, Delphi method and multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) using the Expository Posthaste Effective Resemblant Tool (ExPERT) were conducted to identify and weigh the components that affect IT staff's workload in hospitals. Then, the model for predicting the required number of IT personnel for the involved hospitals was developed. In all stages, the obtained information and results were checked and confirmed using experts' opinions in Focus Group Discussions. Twenty-one hospitals (57%) out of 37 hospitals are facing a shortage of IT personnel. This varies from 0.5 to 1.6 personnel in different hospitals. Thirteen hospitals (35%) were reported to have adequate IT staffing and three hospitals (8%) had excess IT staffing. This study provided a predictive model for required IT staff in hospitals using MCDM through ExPERT which can be used in cases where the use of workload-based methods such as Workload Indicators of Staffing Need is complex or time-consuming.

Development of creative industries in the regions on the example of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)

The paper examines the report of the chief economist of the Russian State Development Corporation Andrei Klepach «Why the population in the East is declining and what to do to combat this trend». Based on the competent analysis of the country’s chief economist, the regional state of the creative economy was examined with a focus on training and supporting students and young personnel for the creative industries. It is the creative industry that currently has the highest rate of youth involvement. Russia has all the necessary prerequisites for a dynamic pace of development of creative industries, as well as a number of successful examples of creative work not only in the central part of the country, but also in the regions. In 2019, the Government of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) approved the Concept for the development of the creative economy of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) until 2025, becoming the first subject of Russia where a strategic document on the development of the creative economy was adopted at the regional level. On April 27, 2024, the Decree «On the development of the creative economy of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)» was adopted. By 2030, it is planned to employ over 70 thousand Yakut citizens in the creative industries; new businesses will be created in science and education, information technology and cinema, design, art and architecture, with the subsequent commercialization of creative potential. The introduction of new educational programs adapted for the implementation of student projects and startups in the creative industries sector has a positive impact on the development of the creative sector of the economy.

Providing HIV-assisted partner services to partners of partners in western Kenya: an implementation science study.

Assisted partner services (APS), or exposure notification and HIV testing for sexual partners of persons diagnosed HIV positive (index clients), is recommended by the World Health Organization. Most APS literature focuses on outcomes among index clients and their partners. There is little data on the benefits of providing APS to partners of partners diagnosed with HIV. We utilized data from a large-scale APS implementation project across 31 facilities in western Kenya from 2018 to 2022. Females testing HIV positive at facilities were offered APS; those who consented provided contact information for all male sexual partners in the last 3 years. Male partners were notified of their potential HIV exposure and offered HIV testing services (HTS). Males newly testing positive were also offered APS and asked to provide contact information for their female partners in the last 3 years. Female partners of male partners (FPPs) were provided exposure notification and HTS. All participants with HIV were followed up at 12 months post-enrolment to assess linkage-to antiretroviral treatment (ART) and viral suppression. We compared HIV positivity, demographics and linkage outcomes among female index clients and FPPs. Overall, 5708 FPPs were elicited from male partners, of whom 4951 received HTS through APS (87% coverage); 291 FPPs newly tested HIV positive (6% yield), an additional 1743 (35.2%) reported a prior HIV diagnosis, of whom 99% were on ART at baseline. At 12 months follow-up, most FPPs were taking ART (92%) with very few adverse events: <1% reported intimate partner violence or reported relationship dissolution. FPPs were more likely than female index clients to report HIV risk behaviours including no condom use at last sex (45% vs. 30%) and multiple partners (38% vs. 19%). Providing HIV testing via APS to FPP is a safe and effective strategy to identify newly diagnosed females and achieve high linkage and retention to ART and can be an efficient means of identifying HIV cases in the era of declining HIV incidence. The high proportion of FPPs reporting HIV risk behaviours suggests APS may help interrupt community HIV transmission via increased knowledge of HIV status and linkage to treatment.

Foreign Practices of Intelligent Transport Systems Functioning: Experience of Japan and USA

The article examines the experience of managing the implementation of intelligent transport systems (ITS) in the USA and Japan, analyzes the main forms of interaction between the state, local government and private sector organizations in the implementation of relevant projects. The research used methods of comparative legal and secondary analysis of statistical data. The presented work shows that in the USA and Japan, public authorities played a key role in the process of creating intelligent transport systems, and the private sector acted as a secondary agent. At the same time, the Japanese and American models of ITS implementation management differ significantly from each other. In Japan, the main participants in this process are entities with different social and managerial status, in the United States, equal organizational structures take part in the creation process. The consequence of this is that the financing of projects to create intelligent transportation systems in the United States is carried out by the states, the federation and the private sector, and in Japan only by the state and the private sector. The presented difference leads to the fact that the Japanese model of intelligent transport systems is characterized by a vertically integrated model of various subsystems with subordination. In turn, in the USA, ITS is a network structure. It should be added to the above that both the United States of America and Japan have formed an effective communication system between the main participants in the process of implementing intelligent transport systems, which avoids various dysfunctions and contradictions in their actions. In particular, in these countries, many discussion platforms, interdepartmental commissions, as well as working groups have been organized, within which the positions of the departments involved in the process of creating ITS are coordinated, as well as contradictions that arise during the implementation of the project under consideration are resolved. The experience of advanced countries in implementing ITS can be useful, given that similar projects are actively being implemented in most regions of Russia.

Evaluation of Aydın Koçarlı Plain Land Consolidation Project in Terms of Some Engineering Services

This study, which presents a general evaluation of the land consolidation project carried out in 14 settlements in the Koçarlı district of Aydın province, the 'Aydın Koçarlı Plain 1st Part Land Consolidation Project', completed by the Aydın Provincial Directorate of Agriculture in 2016, was examined. For this purpose, the consolidation rate, parcel reduction index, deduction rate, and changes in parcel size and parcel number values of the consolidation project carried out in Orhaniye, Madrandere, Çakırbeyli, Boydere, Cincin, Çakmar, Halilbeyli, Koçarlı, Büyükdere, Şahinciler, Sobuca, Dedeköy, Tekeli, and Güdüşlü neighborhoods were investigated. In the project area, the average deduction rate was 7%, the consolidation rate was 31%, and the parcel reduction index was 1.46. As an overall evaluation of agricultural enterprises, the average parcel size increased from 1.76 ha to 2.57 ha, while the number of parcels decreased from 0.93 to 0.64. Land consolidation projects have a high potential to increase agricultural productivity and promote sustainable farming practices. Therefore, the results obtained from the study can contribute to the planning and implementation of similar projects.

Innovative development of the AIC: problems and strategies for their solution

Currently, there are many unresolved problems in agricultural sectors: low level of production and processing of agricultural products, presence of significant number of small-scale farms, financial instability of agricultural entities, insufficient rates of improvement of market infrastructure, which hinders innovative renewal of agricultural sector, and digitalization processes. The goal is to substantiate the strategy for technological modernization of the republic's AIC. The methods are based on scientific research by domestic and foreign scientists, data from the Bureau of National Statistics, Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforming of the RK, scientific institutions, and information from official sources. Results - issues of innovative transformation and use of digital platforms to achieve high efficiency of agro-industrial production and its structural transformations, overcoming challenges and risks that pose threat to the country's agro-industrial complex were studied. Methodological approaches to managing innovation processes are considered, main reasons hindering the achievement of high results in the republic’s agriculture and building its potential are shown: low technical equipment, inefficient use of natural resources, in particular land and water, lack of the necessary system for storage, transportation and sale of products, unattractiveness of this area for investment. Conclusions - analysis of world practice shows that in the context of transition to innovative path of development of agricultural sector, regulatory role of the state, designed to ensure technological progress, increases and becomes a key factor responsible for developing a strategy for creating mechanisms for its implementation and financial support, and formation of a new type of economy. The systematic nature of implementation of innovative projects in agribusiness will help increase the number of jobs and specialists with new competencies.
