Difficulties of Implementing Online Learning in Kindergarten During the Covid-19 Pandemic Outbreak: Teacher's Perspective Review

Policies related to changing face-to-face learning to online learning have become a tough job for education practitioners, especially Kindergarten teachers. This is what triggers various polemics in the world of education, especially at the kindergarten level. Problems related to online learning are not only about hardware but also the various skills of teachers in presenting learning videos. This study aims to expose various difficulties, causal factors, and the readiness of kindergarten teachers to carry out online learning. The research method used is descriptive quantitative, with the selection of samples selected through the quota sampling technique. The research instrument used in this study was a form that was sent via a google form link. Analysis of the data used in this study is quantitative descriptive statistics with percentage techniques. The results showed that the difficulty of implementing online learning in Kindergarten 40% of respondents stated that the difficulty of implementing online learning lies in the difficulty of collaborating with parents in helping learning from home, 20% stated difficulties in assessing child development, while 16% stated time effectiveness less learning. Meanwhile, the contributing factors were 40% stated that their parents were busy due to work, 32% stated that the learning support facilities were limited, and 12% stated that the learning objectives were not achieved. Can be concluded that the difficulty of online learning is caused by the coordination of teachers and parents who have different activities, so there is a lack of synergy in assisting children when carrying out online learning.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE TRAINING OF THE PERSONAL STAFF OF THE RUSSIAN GUARD UNITS

At present, the education of personnel of the Federal National Guard Troops Service in line with their professional activities plays an important role in maintaining the high combat readiness of the troops of the Russian Guard, as well as in successful completing service and combat missions for their intended purpose at a stated time. The paper studies the factors influencing the formation and development of professional attributes of personnel of the Federal National Guard Troops Service within the service and fighting activity. Based on the analysis of scientific literature, the author specifies three groups of factors influencing the training of servicemen and the staff of the Federal National Guard Troops Service: service-professional, environmental, and personal. The service-professional factors involve military (professional) training activities, performance of duties of combat service (on military duty), moral and psychological support, and other areas of service and combat activities. The environmental factors include the information environment, military personnel, family, friends, acquaintances, military rituals, wearing military uniforms, and military symbols. Personal factors reflect the intrapersonal level of mental activity of servicemen (employees) and imply motivation for self-improvement, the own activity of a person, and professional reflection. The author studied the opinions of officers regarding the importance of specified factors. The result showed the importance of all three groups of factors influencing the training of the RF National Guard personnel. According to the obtained data, the author concludes on the necessity to optimize the training process of the Russian Guard personnel by covering all areas of military professional activity.

Innovative marketing in the strategic management of an industrial enterprise

The article proposes a methodical approach that determines the economic efficiency of the optimization procedure. It is expressed through transport gain - a potential reduction in the route of transportation of products compared to the initial transport scheme. The main task of logistics solutions in the freight forwarding system is to ensure the efficiency and flexibility of the vehicle management system. At the same time, the interaction of management bodies from the beginning of creation of the goods to the moment of unloading to its customer must be established. In order to achieve the goal of transport logistics - to fulfill deliveries on the specified conditions in the appropriate quantity, quality and within the stated time, it is necessary to dwell on the issues of operational management of transport and logistics activities. In the course of scientific research it was determined that in modern conditions the productivity of the production enterprise is largely influenced by transport costs. Therefore, there is a need to optimize traffic flows. The structural-logical scheme of the process of choosing the resource-saving technology for the organization of cargo transportation in small lots in the city connection for the meat processing enterprise is proposed. Such a mechanism will ensure compliance with the key rules of logistics and further enhance its own fleet of vehicles.

Investigating the presence of mold in wood treated with chlorophenol

A common moisture-related problem in Sweden and other countries, is mold odor indoors. The general perception is that mold odor indicates hazardous hidden mold. However, some grey literature studies indicate that the source of mold odor might not be substantial amounts of mold, but rather chloroanisoles (CAs) which are biomethylated from chlorophenols (CPs) in moist conditions. Products containing CPs were commonly used world-wide as wood preservatives in the 1960-70s and problems with indoor mold odor have been reported in buildings where such products have been used. In Sweden, one of the main uses of CPs in buildings was in wooden constructions exposed to big moisture loads, such as sill plates and crawl space ceilings. Here we aimed to determine the potential presence and level of mold growth on wood treated with CPs in one school building with reported odor problems built in the stated time period. Odorous wooden samples were taken and analyzed for mold growth. No mold was detected by the naked eye, but some growth was seen using a microscope. We presently investigate more schools and samples, but so far our results question that mold odor depends on substantial amounts of mold.

Type of bacterial isolates and antimicrobial resistance profile from different clinical samples at a Referral Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: five years data analysis

Objective Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most serious global public health threats that exert a significant burden in terms of patient morbidity and mortality and financial crises in many developing countries including Ethiopia. Knowledge on the type of predominantly circulating pathogens with their respective AMR profile in a given area is essential for optimal patient care. This study was aimed at assessing the types of bacterial isolates and their AMR profile identified from a range of clinical samples at Debre Markos Referral Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia, over a period of 5 years (2013 to 2017). Results From the total of 514 different clinical samples processed in the stated time frame, about 240 (46.7%) yield bacterial growth. Majority of the identified bacteria were isolated from stool culture 68 (28.3%) followed by urine 56 (23.3%), ear discharge 54 (22.5%) and wound swabs at 26 (10.8%). Most of the clinical isolates were Gram-negative at 171 (71.25%). The predominant isolate was S. aureus at 41 (17.1%) followed by Salmonella species, 40 (16.7%), Escherichia coli 36 (15%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 26 (11.7%). Generally, the isolates were found resistant at (60–100%) against ampicillin, co-trimoxazole, doxycycline, gentamicin, norfloxacin and tetracycline. Gram-positive isolates were found relatively sensitive to ceftriaxone, erythromycin and vancomycin at (71–84%).

Concepts of occupational morbidity formation in miners of Rostov coal basin

The authors analyzed informational statistic materials of Occupational pathology center in Rostov region over 1960–2016 and information on retrospectively formed cohort of coal miners (1990–2015). Medical and demographic characteristics of the cohort covered work conditions, age at occupational disease diagnosis in the miners, structure and dynamics of occupational morbidity in various occupational groups. Over the stated time interval, unfavorable work conditions of the coal miners were associated with high risk of occupational disease development. The miners of the studied cohort appeared to have respiratory diseases and vibration disease at able-bodied age (70.4%) prevalent in occupational diseases structure.

Life satisfaction in persons with severe stroke – A longitudinal report from the Sunnaas International Network (SIN) stroke study

Introduction The overall aim of the present study was to explore perceived life satisfaction in persons with stroke, from admission to specialised rehabilitation until follow up 1 year post-discharge. The secondary aim was to evaluate possible external and internal explanatory factors for perceived life satisfaction. Patients and methods A prospective, descriptive study of specialised rehabilitation of persons with stroke. Persons with a primary diagnosis of stroke were enrolled in the study. Results Overall, total score on LiSat-11 showed that life was perceived as satisfying by 11% on admission, 21% at discharge, 25% at 6 and 31% at 12 months after discharge from rehabilitation, reported by 230 participating persons with stroke. Repeated measurement indicated significant differences of total life satisfaction between clinics, also when controlled for disability and severity. The items “sexual life,” “health,” and “vocational life”/“financial” were most dissatisfying at the various reported time points. The linear regression analysis revealed an equal amount of internal and external explanatory factors at the different time points, explaining between 16% and 41% of the variations. Discussion and conclusion The perceived life satisfaction was reported as low/dissatisfying at the four stated time points in all the participating clinics. Four items were especially vulnerable post-stroke: vocational situation, sexual life, physical health and mental health. Both internal and external factors contributed to life satisfaction, such as gender, severity of stroke, marital status, country, models of rehabilitation, occupational status, length of stay (LOS), number of therapies and hours in therapy. However, there were significant differences between clinics, indicating that unidentified factors may also influence life satisfaction.
