Multilevel Training Research Articles

РАЗВИТИЕ СИСТЕМЫ ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНОГО ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ НА ЖЕЛЕЗНОДОРОЖНОМ ТРАНСПОРТЕ КРАСНОЯРСКОГО КРАЯ ВО ВТОРОЙ ПОЛОВИНЕ ХХ ВЕКА

Realization of large-scale projects for the industrial development of Siberia was impossible without appropriate transport infrastructure, as well as the training of personnel with the necessary qualifications. The distinguishing feature of this period was that the call for the need to build large industrial facilities in Siberia was answered by the people mostly of young age: Komsomol members and youth accounted for over 70% of the total number of builders. As a rule, they did not have the necessary building specialties, so the training of young workers was carried out on the station. During this period, a multi-level training system was formed on the railways in Siberia. One of the main principles of personnel policy on the road was the continuity of training. So, for the training of workers, at large depots and at junction stations, preparatory courses were created. The article discusses the features of training for the railway industry in Siberia in the second half of the twentieth century. The author comes to the conclusion that the created system of educational institutions was multi-stage, provided for different forms of education, which made it possible to provide the railway with the necessary personnel. Teachers played an important role in forming the education system, many of whom were awarded the Honorary Railway Worker and the honors students of public education symbols. The author considers the history of the development of educational institutions of the railway industry of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, provides information on the number of graduates for certain periods. The development of the material and technical base of educational institutions continued in the 1980s and 1990s, when new educational buildings were built and classrooms were equipped with new equipment.

Research on the Training Approach and Practical Ability of Master of Civil Engineering and Water Conservancy in China

Therefore, this paper expounds the current problems faced by colleges and universities in cultivating civil and water conservancy masters: weak independent learning ability of students, lack of improvement in the cultivation system of colleges and universities, weak teaching staff in colleges and universities, and single assessment methods for students, and then analyzes the lack of practical ability of civil and water conservancy masters. The factors are influenced by external factors and internal factors. Finally, the measures to improve the training methods and practical ability of civil and water conservancy masters include: strengthening the systematic practical ability training of colleges and universities, deepening school-enterprise training cooperation, and increasing the introduction of high-quality talents. Construct a multi-level training system and form cooperative teaching among different universities. In order to provide a reference for the cultivation of the practical ability of the master's degree in civil engineering and water conservancy in colleges and universities.

Need for a competency-based approach for the Public Health Workforce training: the ISS proposal

Abstract Issue The COVID-19 pandemic acted as a catalyst for a reconsidering health care professional workforce (HCPW) competency needed to face future public health challenges, in line with the recent WHO “Global Competency and Outcomes Framework for UHC” document. In this context, in the Italian G20 Presidency framework, the Italian National Institute of Health (ISS), launched a program named “Laboratorium” - recognised in the G20 Declarations of Ministers of Health and Leaders - aimed to the development of training tools suitable for distance learning in whatever context they are placed. Description of the problem Common competencies and needs of the HCPW have to be fulfilled through cross-sectional and multilevel training, to overcome the current emergency and be able to face future challenges. The aim is to provide a modular educational approach that is finalized to actively involve the participant: health professionals step in their training pathway according to their knowledge gaps, identify their specific learning objectives and, through a problem-based learning approach, acquire the proper skills for their function and tasks. Results We propose a two-tiered approach to training: the development of competence based courses oriented to active learning. A pilot course on Epidemic Intelligence design according to this model is ready to be released. At the same time, a repository of everything available on the web systematically selected from authorised sources by a scientific committee was created to support the training objective. It is characterised by a detailed multilevel tagging that allows an effective modularisation to reach only the content useful for its user. Lessons Accessibility to health-related training materials is a required necessity at every level of HCPW. Profiles within healthcare are increasingly heterogeneous and there is a need to focus on disseminating tools that can provide knowledge to address different healthcare scenarios and common purposes. Key messages • Future public health challenges underline a need for a competencies-based learning approach in Healthcare Workforce training. • Italian National Institute of Health propose two methods within the ‘Laboratorium’ project to enable this type of learning: specifically designed courses and a structured document repository.

Using Medicaid to Fund and Shape Tenancy Support Services: Key Considerations From Research in North Carolina and Louisiana

Medicaid is expanding funding for tenancy support services (TSS) that help people who have experienced homelessness or lived in institutional settings obtain and maintain housing. To identify critical considerations for Medicaid TSS regulations, we compared two successful TSS provider agencies in North Carolina, and conducted additional stakeholder interviews in North Carolina and Louisiana, which is ahead of North Carolina in expanding Medicaid-funded TSS. Stakeholder concerns focused on the impact of regulation on goals of access, quality, and flexibility, and noted tensions among these goals. Specific regulatory approaches may mitigate the tension among these goals, such as outcome- and client feedback-based accountability, and an emphasis on job-specific training. Moreover, meeting the goals of access, quality, and flexibility and mitigating their trade-offs is supported by state infrastructure that includes braided funding; horizontal and vertical coordination across agencies; and the capacity for multimodal, multilevel quality assurance and multilevel training and technical assistance.

Analysis of the use of antidepressants in patients from non-psychiatric departments in general hospital

This study aimed to analyze the use of antidepressants in non-psychiatric departments. The data of patients treated with antidepressants in non-psychiatric departments of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi 'an Jiaotong University, were collected from 2014 to 2018. The average annual growth rate of antidepressants use was 22.83%. According to the number of patients at discharge, the classification descending order was: SSRIs, Flupenthixol-TCA, SNRIs, TCAs, SARIs, and NaSSA. Sertraline and flupenthixol-melitracen were the main drugs used in SSRIs and Flupenthixol-TCA, respectively. Neurology, Cardiology, and Geriatrics were the main departments prescribing SSRIs, Flupenthixol-TCA and SNRIs. The antidepressants used by all patients were mainly SSRIs according to drug classification, but the specific drug use in unclear diagnosis group was dominated by flupenthixol-melitracen, while it was sertraline in clear diagnosis group. The proportion of Flupenthixol-TCA in anxiety state group was higher than that in depression state group, While the situation in SSRIs is the opposite. More guidelines should be formulated to improve the recognition of comorbidities between specialized diseases and psychiatric disorders. Also, multi-level training should be implemented to perform the standard diagnosis and medication of mental disorders in clinical practice.

Globally Convergent Multilevel Training of Deep Residual Networks

We propose a globally convergent multilevel training method for deep residual networks (ResNets). The devised method can be seen as a novel variant of the recursive multilevel trustregion (RMTR) method, which operates in hybrid (stochastic-deterministic) settings by adaptively adjusting minibatch sizes during the training. The multilevel hierarchy and the transfer operators are constructed by exploiting a dynamical system's viewpoint, which interprets forward propagation through the ResNet as a forward Euler discretization of an initial value problem. In contrast to traditional training approaches, our novel RMTR method also incorporates curvature information on all levels of the multilevel hierarchy by means of the limited-memory SR1 method. The overall performance and the convergence properties of the our multilevel training method are numerically investigated using examples from the field of classification and regression.

Relation-based global-partial feature learning network for video-based person re-identification

Video-based person re-identification (Re-ID) aims to match the same pedestrian from the video sequences captured by non-overlapping cameras. It is the key to fully extracting abundant spatial and temporal information from the video frames in video-based Re-ID. In this paper, a novel Relation-Based Global-Partial Feature Learning framework is proposed to explore discriminative spatiotemporal features with the help of the global and partial relationship between frames. Specifically, we propose a Relation-Based Global Feature Learning Module (RGL) to obtain global references for generating features correlation maps between frames in the video sequence and determine the importance of frame-level features. As the supplementary of the global relation-based features, a Relation-Based Partial Feature Learning Module (RPL) is also proposed to obtain the relationship between partial features of the same spatial position in different frames to enhance the frame-level partial representation. Moreover, we design a multi-level training scheme to deeply supervise our model. Extensive experiments are conducted on three public video-based person Re-ID datasets, and the results indicate that our framework achieves state-of-the-art performance on three benchmarks.

Interdisciplinary Education of Foreign Language Majors in Chinese Local Universities under the Background of New Liberal Arts

New liberal arts refer to the reorganization of traditional liberal arts to realize the intersection and integration within liberal arts and between liberal arts and natural sciences. The characteristics of new liberal arts are mainly problem-orientation, cross-integration, new technology application and innovative development. Under the background of new liberal arts, the implementation of interdisciplinary education in foreign language majors is an effective way for local colleges and universities to promote the construction of "new foreign languages" and the training of interdisciplinary and applied foreign language talents. Based on the connotations of new liberal arts and interdisciplinary education, and in view of the institutional and cultural barriers to the planning and implementation of interdisciplinary education, this paper proposes an optimized path for the design and implementation of interdisciplinary education for foreign language majors in local colleges and universities: deepen the integration between foreign language majors and other disciplines, build a staged, multi-level talent training system, set up cross-discipline curricular groups, apply new technology to transform traditional teaching and learning methods, strengthen the construction of interdisciplinary education platforms and faculties, and establish a foreign language interdisciplinary education system guarantee mechanism.

Retelling as a means of story structure and story content understanding

ABSTRACT This study examined whether particular practices in story retelling improve children’s comprehension of story structure and enables them to further comment on the story content. Eighty-three (83) kindergarten children (M = 5.4) years old composed the experimental (N = 43) and the control (N = 40) groups. For 6 weeks, one time per week, six well-structured books were read to the experimental group as follows: Before reading there was a brief discussion, while after reading children were trained in story retelling. The intervention programme in retelling consisted of five levels, which began from total teacher assistance to the point where children were able to retell the story freely and completely. The same six books were simply read to the control group and after the reading the children discussed the interesting parts and made drawings based on the story. Children’s retellings were taped and analysed by a series of measures. Results confirmed the experimental group children’s achievements in almost all measurements indicating that the multilevel training programme in retelling enhanced children’s ability for deeper comprehension and further commentary.

STUDYING REMOTELY IN THE SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION

The content of this article reflects the state, problems and prospects of distance learning in the conditions of quarantine measures at the time of the Covid outbreak and especially during military agression in Ukraine, as well as to improve and continue self-education and training. The advantages and disadvantages of distance learning in such circumstances in Ukraine are analyzed. The relevance of scientific research is due to such circumstances and changes in thinking, the emergence of new technologies, the growth of information flow, and, as a consequence, the complexity of social processes. The rapid digitalization of our world, the emergence of new professions and teaching methods, have led to the fact that the traditional education system has begun to transform. Especially today, the current level of socio - economic development of mankind is accelerating and needs to adapt to all changes in economic, social, political and cultural life and, as a result, requires more and more diverse and multilevel training. In the current reality of events taking place around the world, and undoubtedly the events that affected Ukraine especially nowadays, and the introduction of all those measures and changes, including in the learning process in higher schools. "Distance learning" has become one of the most popular and the only way in education today. Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 215 of March 11, 2020 introduced quarantine throughout Ukraine [2], which means that all educational institutions are moving to distance learning. In recent decades, distance education has become a global phenomenon of educational and information culture. Nevertheless, distance learning is not widely used in the educational process of schools, colleges, gymnasiums and other secondary special educational institutions. [4] And it was "quarantine" and military agression that intensified the problem of distance learning and showed the real situation and implementation of measures to identify shortcomings in the implementation of distance learning, as the system of general vocational education was not ready for the transition to full distance learning, which would be a real threat its existence in general [1]. But, thanks to timely decisions and implementation measures, and the establishment of the learning process - this problem has been solved and worked in a short time. [3]

 The practical significance. Ukrainian institutions of higher education when improving educational programs in the can use the study results. Addressing to the best foreign practices of the library specialists training will allow increasing their competitiveness in the world information market and promoting better efficiency of the Ukrainian libraries work in the conditions of the society digitalization.

Designing a Platform for Additional Subject Training of Schoolchildren Based on Professional Requests of Teachers

The purpose of the research is to determine the needs of teachers and concretize the structural, content, technological and ergonomic characteristics of the new regional platform for the implementation of additional subject training of schoolchildren in the Krasnoyarsk region, functioning in a digital society. Despite the fact that today online education resources are gaining more and more popularity, providing unlimited access to sources of knowledge for all segments of the population, their use in the real educational process, including additional subject training of schoolchildren, is not gaining such popularity as among the adult contingent of students. This fact is due to the characteristics of the younger generation, as well as such characteristics of existing platforms as rigid fixation of content and procedural components, mass character without the possibility of adjusting to the needs of a particular student, school, program or the author’s position of a real teacher. In this regard, there is a need to develop such a platform that will meet the needs of school teachers, and innovative teachers, interested in the development and productive use of digital educational resources in the multilevel training of schoolchildren in the context of distance education will participate in its development and filling. It seems that such an environment will increase the innovative potential of the Krasnoyarsk region in the field of general education, positively affect the image and competitiveness among other regions of the Russian Federation.Materials and methods. The paper analyzes psychological, pedagogical, methodological literature and scientific works devoted to the research topic. The results of a questionnaire survey conducted by the authors are analyzed in order to determine the attitude of teachers of the Krasnoyarsk region to the idea of developing a new regional platform for additional subject training of schoolchildren and identifying the requests of its potential users in the field of structure, design, functional and technological characteristics.Results.

Fine-Grained Multi-label Sexism Classification Using a Semi-Supervised Multi-level Neural Approach

Sexism, a permeate form of oppression, causes profound suffering through various manifestations. Given the increasing number of experiences of sexism shared online, categorizing these recollections automatically can support the battle against sexism, since it can promote successful evaluations by gender studies researchers and government representatives engaged in policy making. In this paper, we examine the fine-grained, multi-label classification of accounts (reports) of sexism. To the best of our knowledge, we consider substantially more categories of sexism than any related prior work through our 23-class problem formulation. Moreover, we present the first semi-supervised work for the multi-label classification of accounts describing any type(s) of sexism. We devise self-training-based techniques tailor-made for the multi-label nature of the problem to utilize unlabeled samples for augmenting the labeled set. We identify high textual diversity with respect to the existing labeled set as a desirable quality for candidate unlabeled instances and develop methods for incorporating it into our approach. We also explore ways of infusing class imbalance alleviation for multi-label classification into our semi-supervised learning, independently and in conjunction with the method involving diversity. In addition to data augmentation methods, we develop a neural model which combines biLSTM and attention with a domain-adapted BERT model in an end-to-end trainable manner. Further, we formulate a multi-level training approach in which models are sequentially trained using categories of sexism of different levels of granularity. Moreover, we devise a loss function that exploits any label confidence scores associated with the data. Several proposed methods outperform various baselines on a recently released dataset for multi-label sexism categorization across several standard metrics.
