Relevance of the research topic. Millions of people around the world engage in martial arts, and interest in this type of activity continues to grow. As you know, the goal of building any educational and training process in many types of sports is to achieve the maximum possible result in competitive activities. The existing system of knowledge regarding traditional approaches to building the training process in martial arts proves that in many types of duels there are two possible ways to achieve the desired result. One is the acquisition of championship titles by winning competitions, the other is the acquisition of qualification belts for the performance of certain complex technical actions: kata or tuli (certain connections from stances, movements, striking and defensive actions, as well as the technique of performing motor actions inherent in the respective species duels). First of all, the study of the peculiarities of the functioning of the belt system in various types of martial arts will significantly expand the range of knowledge, the possibilities of using the most effective means and methods for the construction of a modern system of martial arts training. The purpose of the study is to investigate the features of the functioning of the belt system for assessing the level of qualification of athletes in various types of martial arts. Methods. In accordance with the topic of the study, an analysis and generalization of the scientific and methodological literature of Ukrainian and foreign specialists was carried out, normative program documents of the most popular types of martial arts in the world (judo, karate, jiu-jitsu, taekwon-do) were studied. Research results. The belt system for assessing the level of qualification of athletes is inherent in many types of martial arts and is an effective alternative to competitive activities in the direction of obtaining the desired result. A large number of apprentice and master qualification degrees, gentle load regimes, the absence of extreme conditions, and the focus on perfect mastery of technical skills make it possible to practice martial arts for many years. Conclusions. According to modern ideas about the construction of a training system in various types of martial arts, for further effective existence as a tool for the development of mass sports, the belt system for evaluating the level of qualification of athletes needs immediate changes, the introduction of new modern technologies taking into account scientific achievements in the field of sports science.

Red Flags Associated With Knowledge Of Speech And Language Disorders Among Special Educators

Objective: To explore the knowledge about speech and language disorders among special educators of Army schools in Pakistan in association with qualification and experience. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study using convenience sampling was conducted at Isra Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences, Isra University from May to October 2017 and comprised of two phases. Phase 1 included the construction & pilot testing of a questionnaire utilizing a sample of N=20 educators and Phase 2 included the main study with N=100 educators of both genders from schools of Army Special Education Academy, Sir Syed School and College of Special Education and Aghosh Special Education Centre Kharian Cantonment. The sample educators included both genders, dealing with children with intellectual and hearing impairment. SPSS Version 20 was used for data analysis. Results: To assess the knowledge of the educators, a specially structured questionnaire with Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient of 0.79 was applied to a sample with a mean age of 32.70±6.92 years with the majority of 85(85%) being female educators. The study revealed good knowledge of educators with a total mean score of 69.70±10.61 and a significant (p=0.000) association of knowledge of educators with the highest scores for those with Masters Qualification (73.15±7.68). However, no significant association between gender (p=0.151) and work experience of educators (p=0.093) was noted, though the scores were higher for educators with 11-15 years of experience. Conclusion: The study concludes good knowledge of special educators about speech and language disorders with some red flags including the significant association of knowledge with qualification with master (special education) qualification presenting with a higher level of knowledge. However, work experience and gender did not reflect any significant association with the knowledge of educators.

INNOVATIVE DESIGN TECHNOLOGIES OF A MODERN MINIWINERY TAKING INTO AC-COUNT THE TERROIR FOR PINOT NOIR

The article presents a brief overview of scientific works that were aimed at studying the influence of terroir, harvest and technology on the quality and specificity of wine. Modern scientific methods for identifying wines from different regions are considered. Modern studies by Chinese oenologists have shown that a number of trace elements in wine (Cu, Zn and Mn) can be an indicator of the region of origin of the wine. Scientists from Australia, New Zealand, the USA, France and Portugal have also obtained interesting results in the identification of wines of different vintages and terroirs. Scientists have shown that the originality of table wines of specific regions and subregions can be determined on the basis of modern highly sensitive methods of analysis (spectroscopic methods for studying compounds using the phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance; combined methods with the joint use of NMR and the study of the target differential sensor matrix; fluorescent methods for determining the content of amino acids and amines, methods of cluster analysis, etc.). When determining the terroir for red wines, many researchers in different regions of our planet paid special attention to the Pinot Noir variety. This is due to the fact that for this particular variety, terroir plays a huge role in shaping the style of the future wine. At the Vinoman winery, together with the Odessa National Technological University, a comparative analysis of red table wines Pinot Noir from three terroirs of the southern part of the Odessa region was carried out. In addition, as part of the master's qualification work, an innovative project for the reconstruction of an existing enterprise was proposed, which involves the implementation of the gravitational principle of winemaking. The project takes into account the features of the area, climatic conditions and the range of products. Particular attention was paid to the implementation of all of the above aspects in the technology for the production of high-quality red table wines Pinot Noir. As a result of the work carried out, physical and chemical indicators were studied and a sensory analysis of the wines of the Bolgrad, Izmail and Reni terroirs was carried out. Based on the data obtained, preliminary conclusions were made about the prospects for the production of red table wines Pinot Noir at the Vinoman enterprise from certain terroirs in the south of the Odessa region.

Opening up new worlds for humans to respect

In 1967, New Zealand architect James Beard took a year-long professional sabbatical in the US to learn more about regional and landscape planning. Following personal advice from MIT's Kevin Lynch, Beard headed to Harvard University to study toward a Master's qualification in their highly regarded landscape department under Professor Hideo Sasaki. While Beard was able to employ some of his learning in his later career (most notably at Kaitoke Regional Park in the 1970s), Beard returned to a New Zealand that was not yet ready for the broader regional-level consideration of landscape planning and design that he had discovered in his US studies.

The Difference in Learning Activities of Postgraduate Students of Different Qualification Types Under the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Multi-Group Latent Class Analysis.

IntroductionThere are two types of master’s qualifications in China. One is the academic qualification that pays more attention to academic research, aiming to cultivate research-oriented talents; while the other is the application-oriented qualification that focuses more on practical ability, aiming to cultivate applied-oriented talents. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of the COVID-19 on the learning activities of postgraduate students, as well as the differences in the extent to which the learning activities of postgraduate students of different qualification types are affected and their mental health status.MethodsA self-constructed scale for the pandemic’s impact on master’s students, the self-rating anxiety scale and the self-rating depression scale were applied in the study. The single- and multi-group latent class analyses were used to investigate the impact of the pandemic on postgraduate students of different qualification types.ResultsA total of 2818 responses were collected. The single-group latent class analysis identified four classes. The multi-group latent class analysis showed that no absolute homogeneity existed between different groups. In general, the number of academic master’s students affected was greater than application-oriented master’s students. Application-oriented master’s students were more affected by course activities, while academic master’s students were more affected by academic and social activities. Results show that individuals more affected had higher levels of anxiety and depression. Compared to course activities, impacts on social activities were more likely to cause anxiety and depression.DiscussionUniversities can provide a more flexible way of assistance to different qualification types of postgraduate students. Furthermore, social activities play an important role in the mental health of postgraduate students. Therefore, under the background of normalization of pandemic prevention and control, schools should pay more attention to students’ interpersonal communication activities to help relieve students’ anxiety, depression, and other negative emotions.

A táncpedagógus-képzés állami szabályozásának története

In regard to dance teacher training, the process of state regulation began with a recognition of dance education as an activity worthy of regulation, followed by efforts to gradually bring it under state control. Until the middle of the 20th century, this mainly resulted in the regulation of dance school activities by professional interest protection organizations and regulations related to exit exams. These measures began in 1922 when for the first time the minister of interior affairs established a dance master qualification examination board for the state recognition of certificates issued by professional associations. After 1945, the process diversified in terms of genres (e.g., ballet, the art of movement, folk dance, and ballroom dance) and, in addition to the regulation of training, took shape in the creation of state institutions. In 1974, dance teacher training was raised to the college level, and finally after 2006, as a result of the Bologna process, the master’s degree represented the highest attainment in the training of dance teachers.

Neonatal nursing led research activity in the UK: a survey of current practice

BackgroundNeonatal nurses are ideally placed in practice to undertake research enhancing the care of families. More information is required, however, around neonatal nursing led research to advance leadership in this area. The aim of this study was to determine neonatal nursing led research activity within the UK.MethodsThe study used a web-based survey design and neonatal nurses were eligible if they were working at or towards Masters or Doctoral level qualification in the UK. The survey was distributed to members of the Neonatal Nurses Association, UK Schools of Nursing and shared on social media pages of authors and professional organisations. Results were analysed using descriptive and frequency statistics and content analysis.ResultsOf the 56 respondents, 14% (n = 8) had a Doctoral level qualification and 43% (n = 24) of participants held a Masters qualification. Lack of time and funding knowledge was the largest barrier to research. Only 30% (n = 3) of participants had a research mentor and only 18% (n = 3) were from a neonatal nursing background.ConclusionsThere are limited numbers of neonatal nurses undertaking or leading nursing research in the UK. Further support is required to enhance clinical academic career trajectories to ensure research is a viable pathway for future generations of neonatal nurses.

Primary School Teachers’ Continuing Professional Development (CPD) : Teachers’ Reflection of Expectation and Reality

Teachers’ quality plays a paramount role in the improvement of quality of education. This paper describes the reflection of expectation and reality from the concept and the implementation of CPD of Primary School teacher in Indonesia. The objectives of CPD are increasing teachers’ professional development, increasing education services and upgrading professional qualification. In Indonesia, the objectives CPD only touches increasing education services and professional development. Teachers should involve in CPD activities, they are in self-development, scientific publication and innovative works. The reality from the implementation of CPD, Indonesia’s Education Development Index (EDI) is still on average level. It shows CPD activities have not brought education service improvement in longlife learning. In term of professional development, there are many teachers who are not pass credit score to have higher fungtional position and the main factors are less of motivation and commitment of teachers. In the other line, teachers who have pursued master qualification commonly have been pass credit score.

Medicolegal aspect of maternal deaths in Assiut Governorate

Background In obstetric practice, most allegations against obstetrician–gynecologists relate in some manner to the management of labor and delivery; few solely involve perceived flaws in prenatal or postpartum care. Objective To evaluate the incidence and causes of maternal deaths and to evaluate the role of medical malpractice leading to maternal deaths in Assiut Governorate. Patients and methods Women delivered at Al-Azhar University Hospital during a 6-month period in 2013 and women delivered in the period extending from 2005 to 2010 in Assiut Governorate as documented by the local Medicolegal Department of the Ministry of Justice were the subjects of this study. Results Among 2556 women delivered in a 6-month period, two women died, representing a maternal mortality rate of 0.078% (a maternal mortality ratio of 78/100 000 live birth). Antepartum hemorrhage and postpartum hemorrhage were the reported causes in a case each. We also studied 50 maternal deaths referred to local Medicolegal Department of the Ministry of Justice owing to medicolegal claims. We found that the chronic hypertension was the most commonly reported morbidity (20.0%) followed by severe anemia (18.0%), diabetes mellitus (8.0%), epilepsy (2.0%), and deep vein thrombosis (2.0%). More than two-thirds (68.0%) of them had antenatal care, whereas the remainder (32.0%) did not receive it. Regarding the neonatal outcome in the studied women, we found that in 34 (68.0%) cases, women delivered a live mature baby, whereas in 15 (30.0%) cases, fetal death occurred, and in one (2.0%) case, the delivered newborn was macrosomic. In all cases, there was a civil liability. Negligence was the commonest cause (42.0%) followed by misdiagnosis (30.0%) and delayed treatment (28.0%). Regarding the qualification of the service provider, we noted that those with master qualification came on the top (52.0%) followed by general practitioners (18.0%) and diploma holders (12.0%). In 44.0% of cases, delivery took place in governmental hospital, whereas in 32.0% of cases was in health unit and in 24.0% of cases was in private clinic. In our study, surgical specialties accounted for 31.0% of claims followed by obstetrics (25.0%), anesthesia (17.5%), internal medicine (14.5%), and pediatrics (12.0%). Conclusions In the present study, we reported a maternal mortality rate of 0.078% (maternal mortality ratio of 78/100 000 live birth). With respect to the type of liability in the studied women, we found that in all cases, there was civil liability.

Diagnostic radiographer advanced clinical practice in the United Kingdom - A national cross-sectional survey.

Objectives:To survey the diagnostic radiography workforce in the United Kingdom (UK) at an organisational level to ascertain the scope of advanced practice and compliance with Health Education England standards for multiprofessional advanced clinical practice (ACP).Methods:174 diagnostic imaging departments were invited to participate in a cross-sectional electronic survey focused upon advanced level practice and their educational and accreditation expectations (October–December 2019). Breast imaging, computed tomography, fluoroscopy, interventional radiology, lithotripsy, magnetic resonance imaging and projectional radiography were included.Results:A total of 97 responses were received, of which 79 were eligible for inclusion (45%). Respondents reported advanced-level practice roles across all imaging modalities, which included clinical reporting, procedural-based and combined roles. Radiograph and mammogram reporting were most prevalent (95 and 67% of Trusts), with fluoroscopy the most frequent procedure-only role (25%). Only 39% of trusts required adherence to the four pillars of ACP within job descriptions, and only 12% requiring a full Masters qualification.Conclusions:Diagnostic radiographer reporting and procedure-based roles in the NHS are varied and widespread. However, inconsistencies in fulfilment against the expected standards for advanced practice exist. Realignment of advanced-level roles to delineate enhanced and advanced clinical practice may ensure consistency between roles and professions. A requirement for accreditation as an advanced (clinical) practitioner with adherence to advanced practice requirements could therefore provide value to accreditation for both individual practitioners and Trusts.Advances in knowledge:Within the UK, diagnostic radiographer roles previously self-identified as advanced-level practice may be termed enhanced practice when not adhering to expected ACP standards.

GRAPHIC PLANNING OF RESEARCH THE INFLUENCE OF FACTORS ON LONGITUDINAL STABILITY OF ROLLING

At every step of the master's qualification work, starting with the planning of the research, the effectiveness of actions must be ensured. The basis for solving this problem can be the use of fairly simple, but very clear methods that are recognized as effective. For the processes of manufacturing products and their operation, the scheme of causation can be built according to the diagram of Ishikawa. According to the theme of the qualification work, the general type of diagram is transformed: some categories become implicit, i.e. become "invisible" in the figure, in other categories decomposition is performed - the branches are transformed into trees. With the technological orientation of research, the categories of "man", "management", "measurement" become implicit when it involves the involvement of staff with a sufficient level of skills and competencies, management and measurement are carried out in accordance with modern requirements with a sufficient level of scientific validity. According to the theme of the work, technological categories define graphic trees. As a result, a diagram of causal relationships is constructed, which allows to characterize in more detail the conditions of longitudinal stability of hot rolling of steel under the influence of production factors.

Gender Inequality within Higher Education Institutions: a case study of the Royal University of Phnom Penh

Higher education is important for both men and women in preparing to enter the job market. Equal access to education is a key factor in achieving gender equality in the workforce. Unfortunately, however, there are a range of factors that de-motivate female students from pursuing postgraduate education in Cambodia. In this paper, I investigate these factors, focusing upon the negative impacts of gender inequality to make recommendations that are likely to address the gender imbalance in Masters Programs in the country. This research aims to inform all relevant stakeholders how they can adapt their practices to reduce gender inequality in higher education. An exploratory study using descriptive statistics shows that around one-third of existing Masters Candidates already hold a Masters qualification. Most currently enrolled students work and study at same time and feel constrained by this dual workload. As there are limited scholarship opportunities available at the Royal University of Phnom Penh; 76.8% of students, self- sponsored their higher education. A disproportionately high number of students in the Masters of Science in Biodiversity Conservation receive scholarships. There were significant differences in perceptions about the participation of men and women in the higher education sector. Most parents (74.4%) preferred to support their sons, rather than their daughters in pursuing further education. In contrast, most student respondents suggested that their family situation was a major de-motivating factor acting as an obstacle to women accessing a higher education. A lack of social encouragement was also a significant factor. Increased enrolments of female students should be encouraged through cooperation between the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS), RUPP, parents, students and NGOs through to address these issues.

The Texture of Entrepreneurship Programs: Revisiting Experiential Entrepreneurship Education Through the Lens of the Liminal–Liminoid Continuum

Positioning the liminal and the liminoid on a continuum, we define a “space” within which practice-led, experiential learning occurs. The more liminal processes within this space are associated with familiarity, wide social recognition, and relative security, the more liminoid are allied with risk-taking, innovation, creativity, and higher levels of uncertainty. Our research was conducted among student or founders on M-Entrep, an integrated Masters and venture creation program. Our findings suggest it is the coexistence of the liminal program experiences, such as the “rite of passage” of obtaining a Masters qualification, that act as a safety net as students embrace the fluidity and lack of security associated with the more liminoid experiences many associate with the venture creation endeavor. We argue that M-Entrep is an example of a program that interweaves liminal and liminoid processes, creating a texture that is both open and containing, facilitating “entrepreneuring” and encouraging students to reimagine themselves in new roles and statuses. By exploring entrepreneurship education through the lens of the liminal and the liminoid continuum, facilitators of entrepreneurship education programs can better appreciate, design, and influence the texture of this space to benefit the student learning experience.
