The article substantiates the organization of the educational process of physical education of students of higher education institutions in the conditions of quarantine restrictions. The need for urgent adaptation of the process of physical education to the new challenges that accompany the "quarantine" training, requires solving the problems of pedagogical, methodological and organizational content of the educational process of higher education. The purpose of the study is to identify the main aspects of the organization of the educational process of physical education of students by means of remote technologies. The research is based on the use of a set of general scientific theoretical methods: analysis, synthesis, systematization, generalization. The views of researchers on this issue, set out in the latest scientific literature. The didactic potential of distance learning technologies in the formation of information educational environment of physical education of students is determined. It is established that the transition from traditionally used to multidimensional distance learning expands the use of vector information technology, opens new prospects for the development of physical education of students in higher education. The factors of organization of the educational process in the conditions of distance learning are singled out and ranked. The influence of the latter is multi-vector, which necessitates timely detection and prompt response to them to avoid them if possible. Among the advantages of organizing the educational process of physical education of students by means of distance technologies: the possibility of using leading educational technologies; increasing the efficiency of the educational process by intensifying the process of cognition and interpersonal interactive communication; development of a conscious and motivated approach to classes; the possibility of diversifying the educational process; increasing the efficiency of students' independent work; realization of the educational function of physical culture; development of the need for self-education through the mobility of knowledge and ideas; expanding and updating the role of the teacher, who must coordinate the process of physical development and improvement of students. It is proved that the introduction of new pedagogical technologies of distance learning will change the paradigm of physical education and creates the conditions for the most effective implementation of the opportunities inherent in such forms of physical education.

<p>The policies of the Ministry of Health (MOH) around information collection and reporting are mainly focused on DHBs, who are allocated more than three quarters of the health funding and are responsible for planning, purchasing and providing health services within their regions (Ministry of Health, 2014a). The focus of the national health collections therefore, has always been to collect information about publically funded hospital services. Due to this weighted focus on public health service providers, over four hundred private hospitals across New Zealand (NZ) are under-represented in the National Minimum Data Set (NMDS) (Ross, 2012). MOH has a strong focus on providing New Zealanders with better health care through improved health information (Ministry of Health, 2013b), thus discharge data is extensively used by them in a number of applications to achieve this goal. For optimal success, it is vital for MOH to improve their own datasets and to ensure that their data is put to its best use by researchers and analysts. Part of this improvement requires a push towards ensuring better data collection from the private healthcare sector of NZ.  This study explored the views of private hospitals staff on improving the quantity and quality of the data reported by private hospitals across NZ. Semi structured interviews with 12 participants covering 32 private hospitals across NZ were conducted to collect the data. The data was analysed using thematic framework analysis.  The participants acknowledged that reporting full clinical information around each patient’s condition, especially for surgeries, would involve a change in traditional ways of entering and coding the clinical information. This is because their work is influenced by the mode of funding they receive and the type of treatment they provide to their patients. Most of the participants supported the idea of having full patient clinical information in the National Collections; however, since full patient diagnosis information is only usually accessible by the GP, specialist or the surgeon, they questioned how easily they as private hospitals could access and enter this information into their system with their current resources. Added to this is the fact that they do not employ clinical coders. This is because hiring the coders to record information which is not required for their funding or operational purposes is of no value to their business.  Different options for motivating the hospitals to maintain a minimal level of reporting were discussed. Participants emphasised the need for an increased level of collaboration from the Ministry in terms of feedback to their data as well as consideration of private hospitals as part of healthcare community. There was also a strong emphasis on the need to unify private and public sectors in order to reach the full potential of the whole healthcare sector. The participants’ view on the change included a desire to better understand the benefits to them from reporting which they hoped would lead to an improved level of engagement between MOH and the private surgical sector. Above all they saw a need to implement new ideas and methods of collaboration with the health sector as a whole that take into account both the service providers and patients.  The reporting of full datasets is both an issue of information availability and cost for private hospitals. Policy initiatives which combine private hospitals with the rest of the health sector are likely to meet with the challenges posed by the health improvement programs required to achieve improved healthcare for the whole nation.</p>

Nowadays, several of the global challenges we are facing include the fast pace of life and rapidly occurring changes, therefore when interacting with this changeable life environment it is important for the young people to self-develop, self-manage, as well as be themselves in charge of their personal change and career management. This article studies the latest scientific trends, providing scientific justification to the student readiness for their career self-management. In the process of developing this justification, it was essential to understand the criteria and indicators for the student readiness for their career self-management, in order for the young people to be able to self-assess the said readiness during their entire lifetime. Therefore  the aim of the study was to develop the theoretical foundations for the term “student readiness for career self-management” within the context of general secondary education, including both criteria and indicators for the assessment which could in its turn become a methodological foundation for developing methodology for the readiness for career self-management. As a result of this study, the theoretical findings from the scientific literature on the essence and readiness for career self-management were gathered, examined, analysed, systemized and evaluated.

The article analyzes the peculiarities of preparation of womankind for the spiritual and moral education of the young generation in the orthodox monasteries of Ukraine in the XIXth – at the beginning of the XXth centuries. During the study we used: historical methods (historical-typological, historical-structural, chronological, retrospective), which allowed to trace the development of the issues under study in the specified period; general scientific (analysis, synthesis, systematization, comparison, generalization) in order to find out the degree of the study of the mentioned problem; comparative-semantic, which made it possible to compare the content, forms and methods of preparation of womankind for spiritual and moral education of students in the orthodox monasteries of Ukraine in the studied period. It has been established that spiritual and moral education was carried out with the obligatory observance of religious orthodox principles in all educational institutions of the Russian Empire (as well as in the Ukrainian territories that were part of it) in the XIXth – early XXth centuries. The purpose of education and upbringing in the schools at the monasteries was to form a spiritual and moral personality who believes in the divine creation of the world, honors everything created by God. The analyzed issues of preparing women for the spiritual and moral education of the younger generation are notable for the harmony of pedagogical ideas of past years with the present, namely: spiritual and moral education should be based on the orthodox principles; effective organization of spiritual and moral education is promoted by such forms of extra-curricular work as: literary evenings, vocal and literary morning perfomances, exhibitions, excursions, school magazines and newspapers; it is pedagogically expedient to use such methods of education as: persuasion, positive example, reminding, instruction, request, warning, inurement (strengthening of will), encouragement (rewards) and punishment in organizing the spiritual and moral education of students. It has been proved that the content, forms and methods of spiritual and moral education of the students in the monastic schools of the mentioned period were generally progressive. In particular, the curricula clearly defined the amount of knowledge from each discipline in the academic years, tasks and educational goals of each course were specifically formulated, methods of studying the course were revealed. The educational process was built on the principles of clarity and accessibility, consistency and taking into account the age characteristics of children.

Professional sporting organisations can provide lifestyle-based community health improvement programs. Since 2014, the Western Bulldogs Australian Football League Club, through its Western Bulldogs Community Foundation (WBCF), has invested with community partners in the Sons of the West (SOTW) Program, a 10-week program targeted at hard-to-reach men aged ≥18 years living in Victoria’s West. The SOTW Program aims to increase its participants’ physical activity, social connectedness and overall health. Evaluations by the WBCF revealed the SOTW is positively contributing to improved healthier lifestyles and health of participants. Anecdotal reports revealed the SOTW was creating ripples far beyond the Program’s expectations. In 2016–17, the WBCF funded the University of Melbourne to evaluate the SOTW Program ripple effects. An adapted ‘Ripple Effect Mapping’ approach was used, including 13 focus group discussions with 100 SOTW participants. The SOTW Program is improving men’s social connections, health promoting behaviours, health literacy and creating ripple effects including: local community participation; increased volunteerism; enhanced reciprocity; and increased leadership. Community capacity-building frameworks can explain the SOTW Program ripple effects. Professional sporting organisations can provide lifestyle-based health improvement programs and empower men to contribute to building community capacity.

Agricultural Centers are a coalition of organizations and individual members with a common purpose: to improve the health and safety of the agricultural community. Successful leadership and governance are essential in accomplishing these goals. This article examined the effectiveness of a midwestern Agricultural Health and Safety Center (Ag Center) leadership and governance structure. The Internal Coalition Outcomes Hierarchy (ICOH) framework and the Internal Coalition Effectiveness (ICE©) instrument were used, with field visit interviews conducted to gain further insight. Combined comparative findings from both research methods showed that scores in each of the categories increased. Adjustments led to stronger collaborative leadership, vital to successful population health improvement programs. This study showcases coalition qualities in a broader environment, capturing a clearer depiction of leadership and member interaction. Field visit interviews confirmed that this midwestern Ag Center continued to have strong levels of effectiveness in each of the conceptual constructs of a coalition.
