Abstract Introduction A recent publication in the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery journal (Rohrich et al., 2020) has attracted controversy for its generalised approach to “millennial” plastic surgeons. We suggest that surgeons in training, trainers and colleagues need to adjust their focus from the group to the individual in order to maximise clinical performance, quality of working life and quality of care delivered to patients. Method We outline a simple model, adapted from the Johari window tool, with the aim of delivering a job and training plan with which all parties are content. It considers individual ability to process scenarios and perform tasks (bandwidth), and the resources available to the individual trainee, to assess each aspect of the role. Results No two clinicians have the same strengths and weaknesses, and no two posts are identical. The Johari-like matrix allows trainers and trainees to identify which activities are firmly within the bandwidth and resources of the trainee, those which are clearly not, and those which may cause some concern and require further discussion or modification. Conclusions In this model, we suggest a framework which may help surgeons in training and trainers alike and provide a means of recording this longitudinally as individuals or roles evolve.

The relationship between certain dimensions of career anchors, job perceptions and quality of work life. The career anchors and job perceptions of a sample of 258 employees in various types of organizations (private, semistate and state) were examined. A significant link was found between the respondents' career anchors and corresponding job perception; after which a test for differences in quality of working life between the fit and non-fit group was carried out. It was only for those respondents whose dominant career anchor was job security that significant differences (p < 0,5) were found and the fit group had a significantly higher score. The implications of these findings on career planning for the individual and the firm are examined.   Opsomming Die loopbaanankers en pospersepsie van 'n steekproef van 258 werknemers in verskillende tipes organisasies (privaat, semi-staat en staat) is ondersoek. 'n Betekenisvolle verband is tussen die proefpersone se loopbaanankers en pospersepsie verkry, waarna vir verskille in gehalte van werklewe tussen die passings- en nie-passingsgroep getoets is. Dit is slegs by daardie respondente waar die dominante loopbaananker werksekuriteit is dat beduidende verskille (p < 0,05) gevind is en die passingsgroep 'n beduidende hoer telling behaal het. Die implikasies van die bevindings ten opsigte van loopbaanbeplanning vir die individu en onderneming word bespreek.

The exclusive role of culture and education in the modern strategy of sustainable development is emphasized. For so many centuries, culture and education had a distinct flavor of luxury and were available, as a rule, to a select few. Currently, there is a widespread expansion of culture and education, and indicators of upbringing and training have become the primary condition for the sustainable existence of society and the individual. The question arises: what is the hidden primacy of culture and education today? The authors call the answer to it moral postulates and enlightenment, which affect not only the human mind, but feelings and soul, giving rise to desires and actions that obey the will. It is concluded that ideals, beliefs and other qualitative characteristics of a person are the main regulators of sustainable social life. Thus, the role of culture and education is to implement social harmony and ensure the quality of life of people.

The objectives of this research were to determine the effects of model and training strategy on lecturer service quality. Two models of lecturer instructional quality improvement were applied in this research: the quality oriented and conventional models, while training strategy was divided into cooperative and indivualistic strategy. This research was experimental design used was the 2x2 factorial design. A questionnaire was administered to collect data on lecturer service quality consisting of 58 items (r= .98). ANAVA and t-test was used to analyze the data, t-test were used to analyze the differences between experimental groups at .05 level of significance. The result of this study indicated that (1) In general it can be concluded, that the quality of the lecturer service quality in the classroom, the quality oriented model was better than that of the conventional model; (2) In the cooperative strategy, the quality- oriented model was better than the conventional model; (3) In the individual strategy, the quality-orientedmodel was better than the conventional model, (4) there was no interaction effects between lecturer instuction quality model and training strategy on lecturer service quality. From the research findings it can be concluded that: The service quality of the trained lecturer which was quality-oriented model was better than that of the conventional model, whichever the strategy was used to improved the instructional quality of the lecturer. In other words, training to improved the lecturer instructional quality in the classroom, the model which stressed quality was better than model which did not stres quality.

This study aimed to characterise the training practices of French trainers and to describe the training load undertaken by unqualified (UT) and qualified Standardbred trotters (QT). During the Paris-Vincennes 2012 meeting, 20 trainers from the Grosbois training centre were surveyed. Details of their general training practices as well as the weekly workloads for UT and QT were obtained. A nonparametric Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the UT and QT data and a principal component analysis (PCA) was carried out to examine links between trainer characteristics and particular training practices. Four main exercises used to train trotters were identified: (1) ‘promenade’ exercise: light exercise at walk and at slow trot (5.1±0.4 m/s) lasting 48±9 min; (2) ‘jogging’: moderate trot exercise (6.9±1.5 m/s) lasting 44±12 min; (3) ‘parcours’ exercise: moderate/high intensity trot session (10.3±0.9 m/s) over 2,844±1,412 meters with a final sprint; (4) ‘interval’ type exercise: fast trot sessions (10.8±0.9 m/s) over 1,010±212 meters with sprint phases. Trainers used a combination of these four exercises to train both UT and QT. Moreover, the estimated training weekly workload did not appear to differ between the two age categories, with apparently similar exercises and training loads being used to train both UT and QT. The results of the PCA suggested that as trainers become older and more successful they tend to change the composition of exercises used. They preferably used more ‘jogging’ type exercise, regardless of the horses’ age or training level. Whilst the weekly training plan varied between trainers, it seems that the individual trainer's annual programme was relatively constant, consisting of a repetition of a typical training week.

This article is devoted to the study of social sphere and its impact on the process of ensuring quality of working life. Modern tendencies of social sphere and its main components development in the conditions of pandemic spread have been considered. Emphasis is placed on the fact that social sphere as an important component of society support promotes reproduction of human capital, raising living standards, formation of modern developed personality, which directly affects the rate of economic growth and social and economic progress and quality of working life. The essence and features of the relationship between social sphere and the quality of working life have been determined. Indicators of quality of working life, which characterize the level of income of employees; level of labor organization; meaningfulness of labor; employees' career advancement; development of industrial democracy; respect for the individual; perfection of sanitary and hygienic conditions; the state of relations between the trade union and the administration have been reflected. Political, organizational, technological, economic and other factors that shape and influence the level of quality of working life along with the influence of the social sphere have been studied. Subjective factors related to the presence or absence of motivational and personal characteristics necessary for the realization of labor potential of individuals have been described. The key problems of social sphere development and quality of working life in Ukraine are highlighted, among which the insufficient level of social sphere financing has been singled out, which in turn leads to reduction of social infrastructure institutions, critical condition of their fixed capital, low level of salaries in state social institutions. Possible directions of solving the main problems in social sphere in context of interaction of the state, business and society have been offered.

<p>To address the training needs of Further Education and Training college (FETC) lecturers, and in the absence of a full professional education qualification, several higher education institutions, FETCs, and other bodies in South Africa formed an alliance to develop a short programme towards a possible future full qualification. In 2010 a Vocational Education Orientation Programme (VEOP) was piloted. In line with the responsibility for quality assurance, and the need to inform further developments in the training of FETC lecturers, the aim of this research was to evaluate the VEOP presented by the University of the Free State (UFS). To reach the stated aim, a two phase evaluative study was undertaken (1) to assess the individual modules, and (2) to holistically investigate the quality of the programme. Two questionnaires were used to gather data. The first set of data was collected at the completion of each of the six modules. For the second phase of the study, 48 lecturer-students were randomly selected more than a year after completion of the VEOP. The study identified a number of strengths and weaknesses of the VEOP. The results emphasise the need to carefully select tutors and train them to have an understanding of the FETC milieu, rethink the methodology employed in the education training of FETC lecturers, and redesign the modules’ contents to better reflect the FETC sector. The need to enhance student support and improve administration is also highlighted by the study. The results of the study may inform the development of a full qualification for FETC lecturers.</p>

Techniques for three-dimensional reconstruction of macromolecular complexes from electron micrographs have been successfully used for many years. These include methods which take advantage of the natural symmetry properties of the structure (for example helical or icosahedral) as well as those that use single axis or other tilting geometries to reconstruct from a set of projection images. These techniques have traditionally relied on a very experienced operator to manually perform the often numerous and time consuming steps required to obtain the final reconstruction. While the guidance and oversight of an experienced and critical operator will always be an essential component of these techniques, recent advances in computer technology, microprocessor controlled microscopes and the availability of high quality CCD cameras have provided the means to automate many of the individual steps.During the acquisition of data automation provides benefits not only in terms of convenience and time saving but also in circumstances where manual procedures limit the quality of the final reconstruction.

Computerized auditory training (CAT) is a convenient, low-cost approach to improving communication of individuals with hearing loss or other communicative disorders. A number of CAT programs are being marketed to patients and audiologists. The present literature review is an examination of evidence for the effectiveness of CAT in improving speech perception in adults with hearing impairments. Six current CAT programs, used in 9 published studies, were reviewed. In all 9 studies, some benefit of CAT for speech perception was demonstrated. Although these results are encouraging, the overall quality of available evidence remains low, and many programs currently on the market have not yet been evaluated. Thus, caution is needed when selecting CAT programs for specific patients. It is hoped that future researchers will (a) examine a greater number of CAT programs using more rigorous experimental designs, (b) determine which program features and training regimens are most effective, and (c) indicate which patients may benefit from CAT the most.
