Introduction: Transgenic (genetically modified) foods are being grown, sold and eaten in Portugal. As such it is important that physicians stay up to date on any negative health consequences of such foods. This study aimed to identify their opinion, knowledge and training needs regarding transgenic foods.Material and Methods: A total of 278 physicians responded to a surveyResults: In terms of opinion, 85.8% of physicians had a neutral position, 12.5% had a negative view and a minority (1.7%) was positive. However, 79.8% had a low level of knowledge, 17.7% had an average level of knowledge and only 2.5% showed a high level of knowledge regarding the subject. It should be noted that 91.4% of physicians consider that it is useful to carry out some kind of training during their university education and 65.1% said that it would be very useful during the professional life to have continuing education concerning the issue. Most physicians (83%) could be grouped together according to their interest in learning more. The other group (17%) showed lack of interest.Discussion: Physicians are considered reliable sources, to whom the general population can turn to in order to access valuable health information, which suggests the need to stay up-to-date regarding transgenic foods.Conclusion: This is a pioneering study on Portuguese physicians and transgenic foods. Results point to a need for specific training concerning this issue.

Willingness To Be Trained

This study describes responsibilities and training needs of paraeducators in physical education. Paraeducators (n =138) employed in 34 midwestern schools received a 27-item questionnaire. Of the 138 paraeducators contacted, 76 responded, resulting in a 55.1% response rate. Only 16% of the total respondents (n = 76) reported receiving specific training in physical education; however, 68 (90%) indicated a willingness to be trained. Less than half (n = 29, 38%) indicated participating in physical education by escorting students, providing cues, and working individually with students. Fewer than eight (28%) of the physical education paraeducators assisted with assessments, shared IEP suggestions, or helped implement behavior modification programs. The most desired training areas included activity modifications, attributes of students with disabilities, and knowledge of motor development.

Role Of Information

Over time, the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) has become increasingly important in most areas of our lives, including education. So much so, that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of these tools has been essential to continue the teaching process. One of the great challenges facing teachers today is their need to adapt to this new educational scenario by acquiring the necessary digital skills. The aim of this study is to determine the level of competence of teaching in pre-university education key stages. To this end, a questionnaire was distributed among education centres and teachers in the Autonomous Community of Extremadura, obtaining 109 valid responses. The analysis methodology was the formation of clusters using the K-means model. The results confirmed that the teachers perceived a medium-high level of knowledge and use of ICT. Moreover, that this digital competence is conditioned by factors such as age, experience, gender, and level of education. In conclusion, public administrations are encouraged to facilitate teachers’ knowledge and application of ICT according to the profiles identified.

Aggression is an act of threats directed at others who may be verbal, physical or sexual nature. Medical management of aggressive behavior among the psychiatric emergency area in which decisions must be made quickly in a short period of time. Quality of medical services largely depends on the level of knowledge and training of nurses. High frequency and diversity of occurrence of aggressive and violent behavior by the medical staff not only to the psychiatric ward, the necessity to a wider range of health professionals meet and train to work with such patients in first aid, health care and therapy. For emergencies in psychiatry, particularly aggressive behavior, most often there is no time for planning and setting goals of care. These conditions require a high level of expertise, training and knowledge of the medical technicians to act “here and now”. Working with these patients has its own characteristics and is different from other medical interventions in emergency situations.

Basic life support is a basic action to help someone's life in a state of cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest. Death due to cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest can be overcome if the victim gets help. Basic life support can be done by anyone and anywhere immediately when the onset of cardiac arrest or stopping breathing. The purpose of this activity is to provide education and training to the community so that they can know and demonstrate the provision of basic life support in cases of cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest, choking, burns, poisoning and drowning. The implementation of education and training was given to the people in RT 09 RW 04, Pondok Ranggon, Cipayung, East Jakarta as many as 15 people, giving material and training with discussion lecture methods accompanied by demonstrations with power point media and CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) mannequins for 30 minutes, in addition to the community given education and training for victims of choking, poisoning, burns and drowning. The results of the evaluation in the pre-test showed a moderate level of knowledge of 46.7% and a low of 53.3%, whereas in the post-test obtained a high level of knowledge of 20% and a moderate of 80%. The basic life support education and training program that has been carried out is very useful for increasing public knowledge so it is also expected to be able to practice first aid in cases of cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest.

Outbreak Situation

Abstract Points of entry (PoE) have a crucial role in responding to a public health event of international concern (PHEIC) such as COVID-19. Border measures such as entry screening, quarantine and communication are implemented to stop or slow down the spread of COVID-19. Temperature screening at airports, denied access to ports for cruise ships with suspected cases on-board, long-lasting quarantine on board of a cruise ship or temporary suspending cross-border train traffic are just some examples of how PoE are affected by the current outbreak situation. Using the network of the EU Joint Action Healthy Gateways group (JAHG) on preparedness and action at PoE, this workshop aims to highlight strategies and experiences across Europe with respect to awareness, prevention, detection and control of COVID-19 at PoE. The workshop will give a short overview of the current situation in Europe and briefly elaborate on expected and unexpected roles of PoE during the COVID-19 outbreak. Selected key aspects and case-based reports regarding COVID-19 management at PoE will be lined out and discussed: Experiences, challenges and needs of PoE in Europe.Communication and information strategies are crucial in an outbreak situation. The workshop will display case-based examples and emphasize on the challenges and efficacy of different strategies during the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, the need for and experiences of information exchange between POE will be stressed and illustrated.An outbreak situation with a formerly unknown, novel virus such as Sars-CoV-2 requires specific education and training at POE. Practice examples of educational measures (such as e. g. personal instructions, written material, webinars etc.) as well as challenges in rapid development of training material and in assessing specific training needs will be highlighted.What can we learn so far from COVID-19 outbreak management at PoE in Europe? Some preliminary practice recommendations for PoE will be put to discussion. Preliminary results of a survey on how POE dealt with COVID-19 and the specific training needs PoE encountered in this situation will also be presented at the workshop. PoE in Europe, and all over the world, play an important role in the COVID-19 outbreak. This session provides the opportunity to discuss experiences and challenges of COVID-19 outbreak management at PoE from European countries and thereby contributes to skill building and knowledge exchange among experts from the field to learn for future outbreaks. Key messages COVID-19 is a major challenge for PoE across Europe. Diverse and partly non-coherent measures for the outbreak management have been put in place at PoE leaving room for harmonization. Communication and information as well as specific education and training on site are particularly challenging and put burden on PoE staff. Adaptive communication and training strategies are needed.

This study aimed to identify the perception of beach users about the problem of marine litter, and to characterize them from the socioeconomic point of view. To this, 43 open questionnaires were conducted with users from Curva da Jurema and Ilha do Boi beaches, in Vitória, Espírito Santo, southeastern Brazil. From the socioeconomic point of view, our results showed that there were no significant differences between the users of the two beaches. With respect to marine litter, the interviewees showed a high level of knowledge about this issue, knowing what the proper disposal of the litter they produce should be and what damage it can cause to the environment and also to humans. It is noteworthy that respondents blame other beach users for the accumulated litter, suggesting that the lack of education and awareness of other people is the main factor for beach garbage. Thus, we conclude that users of both beaches perceive the problem of marine litter, but do not identify their actions as part of the problem. Thus, constant measures are required in public-private partnerships focused on education on the subject, in addition to the installation of various points of garbage collection and monitoring their effectiveness. As a final product, actions were suggested with the different actors involved in the problem, in order to minimize the effects of this pollution.

The article is devoted to the problems connected with the physiology of tennis players' movements. The main aim of the article was to determine the key factors which directly influence on movements and actions of tennis players during training process and participation in professional tournaments. Methods of the research: the analysis of scientific and methodical sources and observations. Object of the research: the educational and training process of tennis players aimed at improvement of movements. Results. The human strength is the ability to overcome the external resistance or to resist it due to the power of muscles. Each of the factors studied plays an important role in the training of athletes. The physiology of movement of tennis players consists of many components such as strength, agility, speed, ability to maintain balance, accuracy of movement in space, flexibility and endurance. Each of the mentioned elements plays not a small role and requires a special training. The urgency of the subject of the analysis of physiology of tennis players' movements consists in the increase of popularity of this kind of sport on the territory of Ukraine. As of 2021, more than 50 representatives of the country are included in the WTA and ATP ratings. It directly indicates a high level of preparation of domestic sportsmen. Conclusions. The physiology of a tennis player's movement consists of many factors (strength, agility, speed, ability to keep balance, accuracy of movement in space, flexibility and endurance), each of which plays an important role to reach the goals. Most of them are related to each other and create certain combinations. However, having one property does not guarantee the other, creates obstacles. However, they can be solved through constant training. Studying in detail the physiology of an athlete's movement is necessary in order to understand what characteristics may arise. More detailed researches, connected with physiology of movements, will help to correct correctly the preparatory process in future not only for the future professionals, but also for the present representatives of the Ukrainian national tennis team.
