Consulting issues that confront applied sport psychology personnel in gaining entry to working with athletic teams on a long-term basis are discussed. Barriers to entry are examined at the onset and it is emphasized that these obstacles must be overcome by all consultants. Strategies for overcoming such barriers include establishing respect and trust of key athletic personnel, gaining the head coach’s respect, knowing the sport, becoming knowledgeable of the coach’s orientation and team dynamics, gaining support at all levels of the organization, clarifying services to be provided, and making presentations to coaching staffs and athletes. Additional guidelines are discussed in an effort to better clarify the role of the applied sport psychology consultant. These include clarifying one’s own consulting needs, maintaining confidentiality, the need for open and honest communication, support demonstrated by coaches, and collecting research data while consulting.

Primary groups such as relatives, neighbors and friends are a source of support that health care providers overlook. We present a theoretical framework which suggests primary groups can help prevent the misuse of prescription medicine. Kin are especially helpful in assisting elderly to take medications on a long-term basis where the regimens are fairly simple. It may also be especially important to engage kin in helping the older minority woman to understand the doctor. Even at a distance, kin may be able to provide such assistance and should not be discounted as a resource. Neighbors can be helpful in getting a medicine needed unexpectedly and might assist with relatively complex routines that last for only a brief period. Friends who have had similar experiences are especially helpful when the medicine is prescribed on an as needed basis by teaching the client how to judge when a dose is needed.

Objective: This paper aims to understand the relationship between sexuality, culture, and male sexual health through the role of hakeems as an indigenous healing framework in Pakistan. Study Design: Participant observation (by first author) and personal practice (by second author). Place and Duration of Study: At a matab where second author practices hikmat is located in Islamabad. The fieldwork in the form of collaborative learning has been going on since September 2019 to date. Materials and Methods: This research is based on the participant observation at the matab where people come to seek herbal medicine and consultancy from the hakeem. Narrative account of anthropologist and practice of certified hakeem, through an interactive exchange of ideas about questions of the study, was employed. The study has taken information in the form of semi-structured interviews from the patients who either gave consent or asked to remain anonymous. Results: Results have shown that the nature of the relation between sexuality and cultural order have compelled people to seek hikmat as indigenous healing on a long-term basis. The framework of indigenous healers has helped to understand the cultural logic of sexuality, which is embedded more closely in the practice of hakeems than the biomedical regime. Conclusion: Cultural competence, in this case the same cultural background of the hakeem and patients, adds to our understanding of the indigenous healing framework, sexuality, and culture.

The article considers approaches to determining the role of legal regulation of financial issues in preventing secession and the main models of such regulation in states with different territorial structures. Risks and advantages of different models (centralized, decentralized, federal, unitary) were identified. It is shown that when resolving the financial problems of certain regions, the task of preventing secession is most successfully and on a long-term basis solved only when integrating a separate regional mechanism into a coherent national financial settlement system.

Research data management is a system that helps in archiving and retrieving of research data to reuse and preserving them for long term use. Many universities in developed countries have already started providing RDM services to their researchers and academicians. In India, it is still in the initial stage. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the perceptions of researchers and academicians of Parul University on research data management and research data sharing. It also explores the ways the researchers preserved their research data for future use. It also explores the ways the library can take initiatives to encourage and extend support to the researchers and academicians to the organisation, preservation, and sharing of research data. To investigate and study the problem 100 questionnaires were distributed. There are 88 responses we received out of 100. The study revealed that the majority of respondents were agreeing about the research data sharing and free accessibility of research data to browse and reuse. Researchers are very much interested and agreed in the library’s involvement in organizing and preservation of research data. Researchers and faculty members are more concerned about their intellectual property rights while sharing the data on the public domain.

The new basic school curriculum provides an opportunity to promote the development of student value system and responsibility in the pedagogical process. The emphasized requirements for Grade 9 graduates are: self-regulation, positive attitude, tolerance, personal responsibility, civic engagement, patriotism, and understanding of the important values of the society, ensuring the transfer and application of knowledge to the existing reality. Summarizing the empirical research data, it can be concluded that the predominant values for Grade 9 pupils are family, friends, peers and concern about education. Some students find it difficult to name their own values and the values of Latvia. The students involved in the study can be described as responsible only in those areas that affect the respondents themselves on a short term basis. Research highlights the lack of responsibility particularly in such categories as students` ability to take responsibility for their country, their future and their education. This means that in the pedagogical process, during the implementation of the conceptual framework of the new basic education curriculum, it is necessary to promote students' understanding in order to develop a long-term perspective.

SUMMARY The author analyses two documents on the UN language services, produced by the Joint Inspection Unit, a group of specialists whose task consists in studying the working of the UN system with a view to introducing improvements of an administrative and organizational character. Never before had a study been published with such a wealth of information on the linguistic functioning of the UN network of agencies. Although, according to its title, the first report should deal mainly with the use of additional languages, it actually covers many aspects of language services in general, emphasizing two main points, viz., that it is extremely costly to use several languages (US$105 297 000 in 1976), and that it is difficult to provide satisfactory services because of the lack of competent personnel. This dearth of good translators and interpreters is especially serious for the two languages newly adopted as working languages, Arabic and Chinese. The second report, which deals with translation, is to be commended as much as the first one for its conciseness, its clarity and the value of the information it provides. However, it demonstrates a lack of realism in the part devoted to recommendations, where the role of irrational factors has been underestimated. For instance, the recommendation that translators be authorized to send a text back to its author when it is poorly drafted would require a psychological restructuring which is unrealistic to expect. Most recommendations in both reports can be summed up by the word "restriction": refraining from adding new languages, producing fewer documents, limiting the revision of translated papers, etc. In conclusion, the author warns the potential reader that neither report views the problem of linguistic communication in international organizations from a wide perspective, on a long-term basis and with due regard to the principles involved. The reports do not face up to the political and sociopsychological factors which explain why communication in the UN system is based on such expensive, cumbersome and inefficient methods. On what criteria are languages selected? Would it be possible to avoid discriminating against many language groups? Would a more efficient system be workable? Such questions are not discussed in the Joint Inspection Unit reports. Similarly, the JIU does not envisage undertaking a cost/efficiency analysis based on a comparison with alternative systems that are applied elsewhere and can be readily studied. In the present circumstances, studying alternatives appears to be taboo. RESUMO La aùtoro analizas du dokumentojn pri la lingvoproblemo ellaboritajn de la "Komuna Inspekta Opo," grupo da personoj komisiita studi la funkciadon de UN kaj de la institucioj ligitaj al gi, cele al administra kaj organiza plibonigo. Neniam antaùe aperis referajo tiel rica je informoj rilate al la lingva funkciado en tiu reto da organizoj. Kvankam, laù la titolo, la unua raporto devus pritrakti nur la aldonon de novaj lingvoj al la jam uzataj, gi fakte abunde pritraktas la lingvajn servojn generale. Gi cefe emfazas du punktojn, nome, ke paralele uzi plurajn lingvojn estas tre kosta sistemo (105 297 000 usonaj dolaroj en 1976), kaj ke estas malfacile funkciigi la necesajn servojn kontentige, car veraj kompetentuloj mankas. Tiu generala manko estas aparte grava koncerne la du laste alprenitajn lingvojn, la araban kaj la cinan. La dua raporto, dedicita al tradukado, estas jugata same laudinda kiel la unua, car same konciza, klara kaj informe multvalora. Sed oni povas riproci al gi ian mankon de realismo en la rekomendoj, en kiuj la rolo de l'neraciaj faktoroj estas subtaksita. Ekz-e la rekomendo, ke tradukistoj povu resendi al la autoro tekston fuse redaktitan postulus psikologian restrukturadon, kiun atendi estus nerealisme. La plimulto el la rekomendoj, en ambau raportoj, povas resumigi en la vorton "limigo": limigi la nombron de lingvoj, la dokumentaron, la uzon de reviziado en la tradukservoj, ktp. Konklude la aùtoro atentigas, ke tiuj raportoj ne konsideras la problemon de lingva komunikado en internaciaj organizoj lau vasta, principa kaj longtempa perspektivo. Ili pretersilentas la politikajn kaj socipsikologiajn faktorojn, pro kiuj komunikado en la UN-sistemo organizigis tiel koste, komplike kaj neefike. Kial oni uzu tiun lingvon kaj ne tiun ci? Cu estas evitebla diskriminacio en la internacia lingva komunikado? Cu alia maniero solvi la komunikproblemon preferindus? Similaj demandoj tute ne estas tusitaj. Same, la Inspektistoj ne konsideras la eblecon foje entrepreni analizon de efikeco rilate al kosto, kompare kun alternativaj sistemoj aplikataj aliloke, kiujn estus facile studi. En la nuna situacio, la studon de tiuj alternativoj sajnas bloki tabuo.

Antiretroviral therapy has markedly reduced morbidity and mortality for persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV can now be classified as a chronic disease; until a cure is found, patients are likely to require life-long therapy. However, despite these undoubted advances, there are many issues that need to be resolved, including the problems associated with long-term efficacy and toxicity. Moreover, pharmacotherapy of patients infected with HIV is challenging because a great number of comorbidities increase polypharmacy and the risk for drug-drug interactions. There is considerable interindividual variability in patient outcomes in terms of drug disposition, drug efficacy and adverse events. The basis of these differences is multifactorial, but host genetics are believed to play a significant part. HIV-infected population consists of ethnically diverse individuals on complex and potentially toxic antiretroviral regimens on a long-term basis. These individuals would benefit greatly from predictive tests that identify the most durable regimens. Pharmacogenetics holds that promise. Thus, detailed understanding of the metabolism and transport of antiretrovirals and the influence of genetics on these pathways is important. To this end, this review provides an up-to-date overview of the metabolism of antiHIV therapeutics of the protease inhibitors Lopinavir and Ritonavir and the impact of genetic variation in drug metabolism and transport on the treatment of HIV.
