BACKGROUND Evaluating the master’s degree program in Sports Physiotherapy in order to improve the quality of education in this field. The need to pay attention to the effectiveness and efficiency of the education and improving the system of higher education by becoming more aware of the factors involved is necessary. The aim of this study is to evaluate the educational program for master’s degree in Sports Physiotherapy. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the educational program for master’s degree in Sports Physiotherapy. METHODS This is a hybrid study in which qualitative and quantitative methods for data collection were used. The research team consisted of faculty members and sports physiotherapy students. In the first part of the study, due to a lack of standard questionnaires, the method of an expert panel was used to build the tools. In the second part, the questionnaire was distributed among 22 professors and students, and the data was collected. RESULTS The findings showed that according to the viewpoints of the faculty members and students, the courses in the program are necessary and facilitates the students to become qualified in meeting their future professional requirements. The findings of other research indicate the desirability of the content, implementation, and educational facilities of the program from the viewpoint of the professors, and unfavourable from the viewpoint of the students. Moreover, from the perspective of the professors and students, the teaching methods is appropriate to the type of course and there is no need to add a new course to the program. The findings of student evaluation methods showed that these methods were considered to be favourable from the viewpoint of the professors, and unfavourable from the viewpoint of the students. CONCLUSIONS As a result, the program of Sports Physiotherapy was evaluated, in terms of its favourability, with the existing courses.

The purpose of this study was to examine music education faculty members’ perceptions of the master’s degree in music education (MME). A total of 76 music teacher educators completed a researcher-designed survey instrument. Participants believed their MME students’ top four motivations for pursuing MME degrees were to become a better teacher, to gain a higher salary, to create a possible pathway to doctoral study in the future, and to gain academic stimulation through graduate level coursework. Faculty also indicated the MME degree was focused on both teaching/pedagogy and research. Participants explained that their students primarily learn about research through reading and discussing research articles in class, and that their students learn about pedagogy primarily from reading pedagogical articles and reflecting on personal teaching videos. In addition, participants presented various opinions regarding the purpose of MME degrees. Implications for music teacher educators are discussed.

Introduction: The Need for Recovery (NFR) Scale facilitates the understanding of the factors that can lead to sustainable working and employability. Short-form scales can reduce the burden on researchers and respondents. Our aim was to create and validate a short-form Danish version of the NFR Scale. Methods: Two datasets were used to conduct the exploratory and confirmatory analyses. This was done using qualitative and quantitative methods. The exploratory phase identified several short-form versions of the Danish NFR Scale and evaluated the quality of each through the assessment of content, construct and criterion validity, and responsiveness. These evaluations were then verified through the confirmatory analysis, using the second dataset. Results: A short-form NFR scale consisting of three items (exhausted at the end of a work day, hard to find interest in other people after a work day, it takes over an hour to fully recover from a work day) showed excellent validity and responsiveness compared to the nine-item scale. Furthermore, a short-form consisting of just two items also showed excellent validity and good responsiveness. Conclusion: A short-form NFR scale, consisting of three items from the Danish NFR Scale, seems to be an appropriate substitute for the full nine-item scale.

Urine Diversion

This study was part of the VUNA project aimed to develop an affordable sanitation system that produces a valuable fertiliser, reduces pollution of water resources and promotes health. Urine diversion dry toilets (UDDTs) simplify the on-site hygienisation of faeces and allow for nutrient recovery from urine. Social acceptance is vital for the implementation of the UDDT, because sanitation is only effective if the system not only provides a well-designed toilet and effective waste management, but also offers users a facility that caters to their needs and is sensitive to their cultural lifestyle. This study used qualitative and quantitative methods to investigate acceptance, use and maintenance of UDDTs. Key findings indicate lower levels of acceptance of UDDTs among the elderly, who are accustomed to traditional pit toilets. The users aspire to own a flush toilet, perceived to be indicative of household wealth. A dominant concern was emptying the pit and the quality of the building material. Community interventions are required that will promote acceptance, understanding and encourage proper use and maintenance of the UDDT, and may need some technology modification. There is an urgent need for increased community participation to address users' perceptions, attitudes and behaviour concerning the UDDT.

Abstract With the increasing functionality and complexity of the material environment it is becoming important to universally improve the quality of its shape design for people with different knowledge. When the material environment shape does not match its value content or acquire unpredictable meaning, it creates disharmony between the function and user that requires intellectual and / or emotional effort for interaction. The intuitive design improves user’s interaction because the information is presented on the subconscious level, hence it is accepted as a natural part of our environment and demands less effort to grasp and evaluate it. In this study, the scientific context of intuition is examined to determine methods and values of shape intuitive expression modeling. The goal of the study is to assess the effectiveness of shape experimental intuitive harmonization methodology using qualitative and quantitative methods. Functional and interaction restrictions are integrated into the object’s shape by employing experimental modeling techniques. Surveys, controlled observations and MaxDiff analysis were used to monitor intuitive harmonization effects on car body split-line and box shape physical models. Experimental results show that the majority of participants consider conceptual shape models to be more intuitively attractive and informative. The study concludes that it is possible and viable to employ a proposed shape intuitive harmonization variable to achieve a universally positive effect.

RESUMO No Brasil os estudos sobre o tratamento de saúde com soro-positivos ainda é incipiente, sobretudo no que diz respeito ao processo de adesão ao tratamento que ainda é um fator que tem limitado o sucesso no tratamento antiretroviral. Alguns estudos apontam que a não-adesão é um desafio e uma ameaça para a saúde, tanto individual quanto para a Saúde Pública. Sabe-se ainda que, na perspectiva do paciente, a adesão traz inúmeros benefícios ao tratamento dentre eles destaca-se: a redução do risco de falha virológica, aumenta a sobrevida do paciente, reduz o risco de progressão para AIDS e principalmente a melhora na qualidade de vida. Como está o acompanhamento e a adesão ao tratamento em Manaus e como as pessoas aderem a este serviço, é um dos objetivos da pesquisa aqui apresentada. Os procedimentos metodológicos se basearão nos métodos qualitativos e quantitativos e tratando-se de uma pesquisa descritiva, a metodologia utilizada para coleta de dados, objetivou descrever as características da população soro-positiva atendida nos SAES de Manaus e pela Equipe de Consultório na Rua. Como principais resultados baseados na análise dos dados feita a partir dos dados disponíveis pelo SAE /AHF de 2020 e tomando por base o acompanhamento do Serviço de psicologia e Serviço social, há uma adesão bastante significativa dos pacientes ao tratamento antirretroviral em 85% dos 903 pacientes em acompanhamento. Em relação aos pacientes em situação de rua atendidos pela Equipe de Consultório na Rua (CNAR), foram acompanhados 07 pacientes nos últimos 6 anos, dentre os quais 01 foi à óbito devido às complicações com comorbidades como a tuberculose, 01 está em tratamento e os demais não foram mais encontrados pela equipe.   ABSTRACT In Brazil, studies on health care treatment with sero-positive individuals is still incipient, especially regarding the treatment adherence process that is still a factor that has limited the success in antiretroviral treatment. Some studies point out that non-adherence is a challenge and a threat to health, both individual and public health. It is also known that, from the patient's perspective, adherence brings several benefits to the treatment, among which we highlight: reduced risk of virologic failure, increased patient survival, reduced risk of progression to AIDS, and especially improved quality of life. How is the monitoring and adherence to treatment in Manaus and how people adhere to this service, is one of the objectives of the research presented here. The methodological procedures will be based on qualitative and quantitative methods and being a descriptive research, the methodology used for data collection, aimed to describe the characteristics of the HIV-positive population assisted in the SAES of Manaus and by the Street Clinic Team. As main results based on data analysis made from the data available by the SAE /AHF of 2020 and based on the monitoring of the Psychology Service and Social Service, there is a very significant adherence of patients to antiretroviral treatment in 85% of 903 patients in monitoring. Regarding the homeless patients assisted by the Street Clinic Team (CNAR), 07 patients were followed in the last 6 years, among which 01 died due to complications with comorbidities such as tuberculosis, 01 is under treatment and the others were no longer found by the team.

в меняющихся условиях экспертиза на всех уровнях управления образованием становится компонентом процессов принятия решений, все более определяющим их качество. В этой связи экспертная деятельность в образовании получает развитие и обосабливается в отдельный тип профессиональных задач, требующий от субъектов экспертной деятельности овладения специальными компетенциями. Успешная подготовка руководителей и организаторов образования к экспертной деятельности может быть реализована в магистратуре по направлению «Педагогическое образование», а также в рамках направления «Государственное и муниципальное управление» с опорой на андрагогический подход и встраивание экспертных технологий в учебную и исследовательскую работу обучающихся. while uncertainty at all levels of educational management, the expertise increases its influence on the quality of decision-making processes and results. Therefore, the educational expert activity is developing and completed as a separate type of professional tasks. It requires subjects of expertise to master special competencies. Successful training for educational managers to expert activities can be implemented through the master’s degree programs on pedagogy and public administration if it bases on andragogical approach and uses expertise as a part of studying and research.
