Formal Recognition

The high-performance sports system is a rapidly evolving and increasingly important element of the Irish sporting landscape reflected in public policy, the direction and level of spending, and organisational/institutional evolution – all signalling a formal recognition of the high-performance sector as central to sport in Ireland. While certain aspects of high-performance sport in Ireland are beginning to be reflected in research (e.g., Guerin et al. 2008), this is yet to be extended to high performance coaching. The education, development, and support of coaches are key areas of the Coaching Strategy for Ireland (2008-2012). An understanding of high-performance coach activities and needs will become increasingly vital in underpinning the effectiveness of resources directed at high-performance coaching as Ireland seeks to reposition itself within the world’s elite in sport. The purpose of this article is to better understand the development of high-performance coaches in Ireland and the key influences on this (e.g., exposure to different coaching environments, sources of knowledge, and preferred ways of learning). It aims to explore what high-performance coaches believe has been most important in developing and fostering their coaching ‘know-how,’1 and what this may imply for future educational interventions for high-performance coaches. This article brings to light insights generated through semi-structured interviews with 10 high-performance coaches currently and/or recently working in Irish sport.

Abstract. With this contribution, we describe and publish two high-quality street-level datasets, captured with a portable high-performance Mobile Mapping System (MMS). The datasets will be freely available for scientific use. Both datasets, from a city centre and a forest represent area-wide street-level reality captures which can be used e.g. for establishing cloud-based frameworks for infrastructure management as well as for smart city and forestry applications. The quality of these data sets has been thoroughly evaluated and demonstrated. For example, georeferencing accuracies in the centimetre range using these datasets in combination with image-based georeferencing have been achieved. Both high-quality multi sensor system street-level datasets are suitable for evaluating and improving methods for multiple tasks related to high-precision 3D reality capture and the creation of digital twins. Potential applications range from localization and georeferencing, dense image matching and 3D reconstruction to combined methods such as simultaneous localization and mapping and structure-from-motion as well as classification and scene interpretation. Our dataset is available online at: https://www.fhnw.ch/habg/bimage-datasets

Social Construction Of Disability

This article draws on the theoretical concepts of Pierre Bourdieu to provide a critical analysis of the social construction of disability in high-performance sport coaching. Data were generated using a qualitative cross-case comparative methodology, comprising 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork in high-performance disability sport, and interviews with coaches and athletes from a cross-section of Paralympic sports. We discuss how in both cases ‘disability’ was assimilated into the ‘performance logic’ of the sporting field as a means of maximising symbolic capital. Furthermore, coaches were socialised into a prevailing legitimate culture in elite disability sport that was reflective of ableist, performance-focused and normative ideologies about disability. In this article we unpack the assumptions that underpin coaching in disability sport, and by extension use sport as a lens to problematise the construction of disability in specific social formations across coaching cultures. In so doing, we raise critical questions about the interrelation of disability and sport.

The Creation

The existence of a touch of technology on laboratory learning becomes another alternative as a supporter of laboratory learning. Different practitioner's wishes and intensity of relatively short laboratory practice which resulted in dissatisfaction in the implementation of a practicum. Thus, an intelligent learning alternative is needed. This intelligent learning aims to provide high-quality and high-performance training skills that can assist the practitioner in solving problems related to practicum materials. The intelligent learning system is a learning system that handles some student instruction without any intervention from a teacher.Alternative learning system that can support the creation of Intelligent Learning System is by Natural Language Processing (NLP) method. This final project provides an explanation of the creation and implementation of intelligent learning systems in the Object Oriented Programming Computer Laboratory. This system consists of several stages: parsing, similarity, stemming, Knowledge Base which is designed in an interactive form between praktikan and agent based dialoge based application. The success rate of this system in answering questions from praktikan session II is 88.75%.

Lattice Towers

There are the great problems of the concrete for high voltage the transmission lines obtaining. One of them is the creation of reinforced concrete centrifugally spun transmission towers with enhanced reliability and durability for high-voltage transmission lines having voltage of 110-750 kV. The second problem is the creation of high-quality reinforced concrete foundations to fix overhead electric line lattice towers in the ground because more than 50% of operated reinforced concrete towers and foundations are in need of repair or were put into repair. A complex high-performance organic mineral admixture for tower bodies of high-voltage transmission lines is developed. The main components of the admixture are polycarboxylate polymere and silica sol. It insures increased compressive strength and tensile strength in bending, freeze resistance, waterproofing and corrosive resistance. The obtained positive results allow to reduce a compression zone width and a crack growth width. The paper can be useful for not only the transport construction but and for concrete obtaining with special properties at any fields.

Athletic Career

This study sought to analyse the lived experiences of so-called “fast-tracked” coaches from men’s association football and rugby union by seeking to understand how these individuals prepared for and then transitioned into a post-athletic coaching career. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 male coaches. All participants were former elite athletes and had followed a fast-tracked pathway into their current post-athletic coaching roles. Participants were based in England and had retired from an athletic career within 12 months of being interviewed. Two general categories of “active” and “passive” coach pathways were identified for the career trajectory. Active coaches purposefully prepared for a coaching career during their athletic careers, whereas passive coaches did not. Passive coaches’ decisions to become a coach were often reactive and made after retiring from a competitive athletic career. Results indicate that only the career trajectory of passive coaches reflects a fast-track pathway. None of the active or passive coaches negotiated any formalised recruitment processes into their first post-athletic coaching roles. The suggestion is that prejudicial recruitment practices are enacted by senior club management which creates a homogenous coaching workforce. This furthers the need for greater governance of high-performance coach recruitment within England for these sports.
