FORMS, WAYS AND MEANS OF REVEALING THE LEVELS OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE CULTURE OF DANCER-WRESTLERS OF THE NATIONAL WRESTLING "KOKH" (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE SAMTSKHE-JAVAKHETI REGION)

The purpose of the research is to characterize the presence and characteristics of pedagogical conditions in primary groups (ages 7-9) that contribute to the development of musical and dance culture of "Kokh" dancer-wrestlers. Our main task was the relevance of the program, the content of the comprehensive educational process of dancer-wrestlers within the framework of interdisciplinary relations. Based on the results of our research, we can state that the Armenian national wrestling "Kokh" is the main means of educational influence on the trainees and considers culture as the basis of human creative activity. Undoubtedly, the means and methods based on progressive ethnic traditions carry a powerful educational potential, contribute to the socio-cultural development of dancer-wrestlers, encourage dancer-wrestlers to search for noble ideas, intense feelings, the goodness and beauty. The relevance of the topic covered in this article within the framework of this research and the need for a more comprehensive and profound study of ethnopedagogy as a relatively new discipline of pedagogy makes this topic open for new studies by us and others.

Закономерности взаимодействия теоретико-методологических и практических аспектов обучения в системе высшего образования и последующей трудовой деятельности обучаемых

The relevance of the presented study is due to the ongoing changes in the domestic system of higher education, including the forced withdrawal of Russia from the Bologna process, which predetermined new challenges in the development of a practice-oriented approach to learning, which determine the relationship between learning processes in the higher education system and the processes of subsequent work of students. The purpose of the presented research is to identify patterns of interaction between theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of education in the system of higher education and the subsequent work activity of students in the light of modern challenges for the national economy. The scientific novelty of the results obtained lies in identifying the composition of the main patterns of interaction of the listed theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of training in the system of higher education and the subsequent work of students, including: the use of a competency-based approach to learning, the use of interdisciplinary relationships, the implementation of the processes of humanization of the educational environment, the need for universities independently predict the demand for professions. The practical significance of the results obtained lies in the possibility of their use in the formation of a new domestic system for the development of higher education.

Ways to introduce the concept of "vector" in geometry

In this paper, the methods of teaching the topic "vector" when studying the course of geometry at school are considered. One of the most difficult topics in geometry lessons for secondary students is considered to be the topics "vectors" and "Vector method in solving problems". In addition, the concept of a vector is one of the basic concepts in modern geometry. To increase the effectiveness of the study of the topic of vectors, historical analysis is considered, as well as teaching methods that students face when studying the topic. These problems are identified by special scientific methods aimed at ensuring the study of the topic of vectors in the geometry course of a secondary educational institution. The teacher, teaching students the vector method, develops their cognitive interest, because on the basis of the vector method, it will be possible to enter coordinates on the plane in the future. The topic of vectors is very important. This is because, first of all, it allows you to find a solution using vectors, making it easier to solve many problems of mathematics that are solved by other methods. In addition, it provides a great opportunity not only to make the proofs of many theorems understandable to students through vectors, but also to teach the search for solutions to problems and proofs of theorems. Secondly, the concept of vector is used in many applications of the mathematics course. For example, it is also used in school algebra and geometry, or in function theory and probability theory. Thirdly, the concept of a vector is an important concept in physics. Vectors also establish the interdisciplinary relationship between physics and mathematics.

Islamic spiritual care and negative religious coping


 This article discusses religious coping behaviors in relation to Islamic spiritual care practices. Islamic spiritual care is an established practice, integrated in many European countries’ health and welfare services, and an emerging field of research. I have 17 years of experience as a Muslim chaplain in Danish hospitals and a prison, working with counseling, educating staff, and policymaking in the field of Muslim chaplaincy. In this article, I use psychological theory to analyze positive and negative religious coping, first demonstrating that spiritual care is a practice in Islam that is embedded in its theological and psychological (re)sources. Then, based on two case examples, I analyze negative religious coping among Muslims, which is a topic that has received little scholarly attention. The article contributes to the emerging field of Islamic practical theology and the interdisciplinary relationship between practical theology and psychology of religion.

Qurʾānic Studies and Natural Sciences: A Methodological Interdisciplinary Approach and its Intellectual Gains

The interdisciplinary relationship between Qurʾānic studies and natural sciences has a long history, but it has always been challenging due to the significant differences in epistemology, language, and methodology. These fundamental differences make interdisciplinary research between these two paradigms complicated. A methodological approach to the most important types of relations between these two paradigms can make this complex path smoother and reduce the epistemological errors of research. In this study, we will first explore the concept of methodological interdisciplinarity by examining the theoretical literature produced by experts in interdisciplinary studies. Next, using a descriptive-analytical method, we will examine the most significant interdisciplinary research in the field of Qurʾānic studies and natural sciences. By categorizing and ranking these studies, we will identify and introduce three intellectual achievements–methodological interdisciplinarity aims to improve the quality of results by borrowing methods or concepts from other disciplines to test hypotheses, answer research questions, or develop theories. Based on the degrees of integration and the relation between Qurʾānic studies and natural sciences, the following three main achievements can be listed: First, developing theological insights for the Qurʾān. Secondly, generating exegetical insights for Qurʾānic commentators. Thirdly, generating new perspectives in natural sciences. In this way, the main achievement of interdisciplinary integration belongs to Qurʾānic studies in the first two types, while the third type generates new perspectives in natural sciences.

Diastema Closure in Conservative Dentistry

Diastema, or gaps in the front teeth, is unsightly and can have a detrimental effect on an individual's self-confidence and ability to make professional connections in social and professional settings. Therefore, examining the patient's wants, desires, and aesthetic concerns is important to evaluate the treatment plan to get optimal results. Modern eons have seen an upsurge in the need for interdisciplinary relationship between orthodontics, restorative dentistry, and periodontology to achieve an effective treatment plan and consequence. The black triangle (gingival embrasure without papilla), which occurs when a diastema is closed directly, is a major issue in aesthetic dentistry. The black triangle will ruin the patients' smiles; therefore, it is best to avoid it. The composite mastic used to seal diastemas should have sufficient convexity in the gingivo-incisal direction to prevent this issue. Closing a diastema can be done in several ways, some of which take a long time or do not give a good contour.

INNOVATION MANAGERS FOR THE COUNTRY’S TECHNOLOGICAL SOVEREIGNTY

The article substantiates the authors’ position, supported by empirical data, on the sharp increase in the intellectual intensity of managerial activities and on the transformation of the managerial profession into one of the most complex, gaining particular importance in the organisation of the innovation process for technological sovereignty. The increasing role of management science in understanding the ongoing turbulent changes, developing methodologies for proactive management and identifying competencies in demand in the economy is highlighted. The need for the introduction of advanced learning in these conditions is demostrated; the authors’ experience in its development and implementation in terms of specific organisational models, content and teaching methods is presented. Within the framework of the proposed concept of further education, it is necessary to introduce a management specialisation focused on specific industries into the existing system of higher education. It will provide enhanced fundamental and applied training, a significant increase in the volume of practice and will enable students to master the engineering-economic and engineering-managerial knowledge necessary for taking into account interdisciplinary relationships between high technology, economics and finance when making management decisions.

Design, Digital Humanities, and Information Visualization for Cultural Heritage

In this essay, we are interested in investigating some of the possible relations between design and digital humanities. In particular, we analyze the contribution that communication and interface design can bring to digital humanities. In a scene currently characterized by a heterogeneous set of activities and humanistic, technological, and cultural studies, the involvement of design seems confined to the development of digital instruments in accessing, exploring, and manipulating cultural data. How can design and the humanities work in an interdisciplinary way in order to shape new digital means to explore humanistic content? This essay presents four case studies (three of them developed by the authors), each of which suggests some methods and tools focused on the interdisciplinary relationships of scholars. The findings are both models of collaboration and models of digital architecture (data visualization) and showcase applied digital interactive platforms that present several paths to discovering different levels of content in the fields of art, psychology, literature, and history. In conclusion, this essay presents a manifesto focusing on ten points of virtuous relation between design humanities and the field of information visualization.

Vztahy mezi literaturou a hudbou v díle Gustawa Morcinka

The study is devoted to the interdisciplinary relationship between literature and music in the work of the most popular Polish writer from Silesia, Gustaw Morcinek (born Augustín Morcinek, August 24, 1891 in Karviná, Austria-Hungary – December 20, 1963 in Krakow, Poland). In his rich literary work for adults as well as for children and young people, while it is mainly prose, less often drama (he did not devote himself to poetry), we find inspiration in musical folklore (mainly Silesian, exceptionally Moravian and Slovak), also in popular and classical music. The music in Morcinek’s work serves, among other things, to better characterize space and time, character traits of the characters, and capture the overall mood of the literary work or part of it. In our study, we are methodologically based primarily on the works of the Polish comparatist Andrzej Hejmej, who has been theoretically devoted to the relationship between literature and music for a long time.

Interdisciplinary Collaborations in Academia: Modeling the Roles of Perceived Contextual Norms and Motivation to Collaborate

ABSTRACT In academia, interdisciplinary collaborations allow individuals with different areas of expertise and resources to accomplish shared goals. Nevertheless, because interdisciplinary scholars often have different knowledge areas or methodological training, such collaborations may be less likely to form. In this manuscript, we provide a step toward understanding how interdisciplinary collaborations form within academic contexts. Specifically, we propose a model in which the effect of organizational norms on collaborative outcomes are mediated by departmental norms and motivation, sequentially. To test this model, 197 interdisciplinary faculty members from a large university in the Northeast were surveyed. Overall, the results provide some support for our proposed model, such that if organizations provide structural support and foster an environment that welcomes collaborations, interdisciplinary collaborative relationships will be more likely to form (i.e. faculty members will be increasingly motivated to engage in interdisciplinary research).

The development of a pediatric skull base team: how, where and why?

The purpose of this review is to describe the development of pediatric skull base surgical techniques and illustrate the advantages of pediatric endonasal skull base surgery (ESBS) when applied in appropriate settings. Additionally, this manuscript endeavors to define the pediatric skull base team components, highlight circumstances amenable to the development of a pediatric skull base surgery team, and describe the relative advantages of independent pediatric teams versus incorporation with adult skull base practices. Multiple series published within the last decade have described the application of ESBS to the pediatric population, demonstrating adoption of these interventions in many academic centers. Most series include relatively small numbers of patients, highlighting the relative infrequency of anterior skull base pathology in the pediatric patient. Given the relatively low volume and high technical demands of this skillset, general guidelines for the timing, suggested training, and volume necessary to support a pediatric skull base team are offered. The interest in pediatric ESBS continues to expand though case volumes may limit maintenance of skills in lower volume centers. The development of a dedicated pediatric skull base team in areas where sufficient volume exists facilitates concentration of expertise and interdisciplinary relationships necessary to provide the highest level of care. Collaborating with adult skull base teams can enhance the pediatric team experience, increasing exposure to complex surgical planning and radiologic nuances. However, a pediatric-focused skull base team can tailor treatment to meet the specific psychosocial and developmental needs of children.

Anthropology of Deep Brain Stimulation; the 30th Anniversary of STN DBS in 2023.

The year 2023 marks the 30th anniversary of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) for Parkinson's disease (PD). This procedure prompted a universal interest in DBS for various brain disorders and resulted in a unique expansion of clinical and scientific collaboration between many disciplines, with impact on many aspects of society. To study the anthropology of DBS, that is, its ethno-geographic origins, its evolution, its impact on clinicians and scientists, and its influence on society at large. The authors scrutinized the geo-ethnic origins of the pioneers of modern DBS, and they evaluated, based on the literature and on a long-term praxis, the development of DBS and its impact on clinicians, on healthcare, and on society. Scientists and clinicians from various geo-ethnic origins pioneered modern DBS, leading to worldwide spread of this procedure and to the establishment of large multidisciplinary teams in many centers. Neurologists became actively involved in surgery and took on new laborious tasks of programming ever more complicated DBS systems. Publications sky-rocketed and the global spread of DBS impacted positively on several aspects of society, including healthcare, awareness of neurological diseases, interdisciplinary relations, conferences, patient organizations, unemployment, industry, etc. STN DBS has boosted the field of deep brain electrotherapy for many neurological and psychiatric illnesses, and DBS has generated a global benefit on many aspects of society, well beyond its clinical benefits on symptoms of diseases. With the ever-increasing indications for DBS, more positive global impact is expected.

Sexual Harassment in Eka Kurniawan’s Novel Lelaki Harimau

A reflection of social life with all its dynamics and problems could be expressed or pictured through a novel, a literary genre written based on social reality, the author’s experiences, observations, feelings and ideologies. Themes may be varied depending on the situational elements. Sexual harassment is one frequently exposed, and always discussed because such can occur anywhere and at any time and in this research becomes the focus of analysis. Sexual harassment is a crime that can harm other people or even cause trauma to victims and generally women are the most frequent victims due to the domination of men in the social life. The study is intended to reveal the problem of sexual harassment committed by the major characters in the novel Lelaki Harimau by Eka Kurniawan through a literary psychology approach as the behavior of the perpetrators of sexual harassment is related to personality structure. Psychology and literature are two interrelated disciplines; literary psychology uncovers the psychological aspects in literary works. Descriptive qualitative research method is applied for the whole study to analyze social phenomena without using mathematical calculations. The results of the research using the six data selected show that there are three forms of sexual harassment along the plot, verbal sexual harassment, non-verbal sexual harassment and physical sexual harassment.

A Bernsteinian analysis of the recontextualisation of knowledge in the plant biotechnology lessons

<p>The goal of this study was to explore the recontextualisation of knowledge in the plant biotechnology lessons at the Copperbelt university in Zambia. The study was aimed at understanding the pedagogic discourse which the biology education students experience during their training. The study used a qualitative approach to collect and analyse the data. Observation method was used to collect the data by video recording three lessons. Bernstein’s framing and classification concepts were the analytic tools in this study. Atlas ti 8 software was used to analyse the data. The study found that the framing was strong in the hierarchical rules, selection, sequencing, pacing and that the evaluation criteria and that the framing was weak in the evaluation criteria. The classification was weak (C-) in the inter-disciplinary relations, inter-discursive relations and in the intra-disciplinary relations. These findings indicate that biology education students were not adequately prepared to teach biology in secondary schools.</p>

Biomedical domination in nursing: a contribution to the emancipation of nurses

Nursing practice and the knowledge that supports it developed in close connection with biomedical practices/knowledge and physicians. This interprofessional and interdisciplinary relationship can be analyzed based on a critical and postcolonial reading, which seeks to emancipate and assert a disciplinary space for nursing that is both academic and professional. This text employs this approach and highlights the biomedical grounds of nursing practices and knowledge. It explores, in particular, power relations between physicians and nurses, patriarchal and gender relations, and conflicts in the definition of the nurse’s role. It provides a greater understanding of the aims of a postcolonial approach and its relevance in analyzing the discipline of nursing.

Application of ontology-based engineering and stem approach in learning

Currently, there is a need to improve the educational system and develop interdisciplinary studies at all stages of education, from school to postgraduate education. The implementation of cross-curriculum connections promotes a holistic view of natural phenomena and the relationship between them, that is, this knowledge becomes more meaningful and applicable in practice. The article proposes an approach to building a conceptual model of the content of education in the form of a thesaurus and ontology, the use of which will ensure that the educational information is adaptively selected and put straight. The article discusses the possibility of and experience in using ontological modeling and engineering for the conceptual description of school and higher education. The article discusses the development of the ontological science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) Education at School model. The article builds an ontological model, which is an integration of the ontology of school and the ontology of university. When filling in the knowledge base, it becomes possible to identify interdisciplinary relationships. The use of ontological engineering methods will improve the quality of education for schoolchildren and students through the semantic description of knowledge of the subject area by using interdisciplinary and STEM approaches in the process of education.

Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) During COVID-19: Eyes and Ears on the AMS Team.

Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs in hospitals comprise coordinated strategies to optimise antimicrobial use. The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the healthcare system, including AMS. This study aimed to understand the work processes of AMS teams during COVID-19 hospital restrictions and the role technology played in supporting AMS. Observations and interviews were conducted with AMS teams at two hospitals in Sydney, Australia. Participants reported an increase in antimicrobial use, a loss of resources for AMS activities, and reduced in-person interactions. Meetings were performed through videoconferencing, which resulted in greater access to information but led to poorer communication and impacted interdisciplinary relationships. As COVID-19 restrictions recede, AMS program changes should be evaluated to understand the most effective strategies to facilitate evidence-based AMS practices.
