The effectiveness of the competitive activity of top-class athletes depends on the level of all kinds of trainings, but the skill of regulation of their psychophysiological state is of high priority for a player in a stressful situation of competition. The result of the overall performance often depends immediately on the psychophysiological state of an athlete in the moment of realization of the “last” technical action of a game, be it a foul shot in a basketball game with a tie during the last seconds of a match or the last ball in a frame at a cost of the victory or the loss of a billiard match. Due to the reason the nervous system, with the individual and typological peculiarities of the athlete, is in charge of the high precision of movements and proprioceptive sensuality in differentiation of muscular efforts, anxiety level, strength and mobility of nervous processes. The objective – the establishment of the model characteristics of the psychophysiological state of highly-qualified basketball and billiard players in the moment of realization of a technical action under conditions of a stressful situation. Methods. theoretical analysis and generalization; method of expert estimations; psychophysiological methods; pedagogical observation; pedagogical testing; methods of mathematical statistics. Results. In the course of the research the ideal characteristics of the psychophysiological state of highly-qualified basketball and billiard players for the effective realization of a technical action under conditions of the stress have been determined. Conclusions. Modelling of a stressful game situation and the use of a number of psychophysiological and pedagogical tests have allowed to obtain the average figures of quality of the equilibrium function with and without visual control, voluntary attention span, attention effectiveness, productivity, stress tolerance and coefficient of motivational, volitional and typological component in high-qualified athletes.

Education is facing various challenges at the moment and needs to be reinvented. Some of the methods used have been inspired by the industrial revolution when an assembly line one-size-fits-all approach was setup in schools. Today, teachers are struggling to manage the number of students in a class thus making the quality of teaching inconsistent. Furthermore, they have to deal with students having different abilities in the same class which makes it impossible to give each and every student the individual attention they deserve. Through the artificial intelligence assisted learning (AIAL) system, the authors believe that they can personalise the learning and thus free a lot of time for the teacher which can be used to focus on those students that are really in need. This will be done on a case by case basis, thus creating a fairer educational system which is personalized for the needs of each and every student which guarantees equity.

<p>The article describes the possibilities of productive study of modern pedagogy courses, individual tasks and routings in the structure of formation of competence in students of undergraduate program, those enrolled in the programs of professional development and training of highly qualified personnel (post-graduate). Refined models and conditions of use of pedagogical modeling the structure of the Pedagogy course in the models and sections of scientific knowledge identify opportunities to optimize the conditions of development of personality constructs in the formation of independent work culture. Technology system-pedagogical modeling of continuous education system determines the possibility of personalization and achievement in individual and group activities. Productivity solutions in the model of personality development, included in the system of continuous education, determine the quality of formation of culture of independent work of the individual. In different multicultural systems typology of formation of culture of independent work of the individual visualize the success of the formation of personality in the independent choice of the conditions and possibilities of becoming productive and social importance of activities and communication products. Opportunities to improve the quality of formation of independent work of the individual are defined through the use of technology of system-pedagogical modeling, guaranteeing conditions of personalization choices and products activities in the system of certain features of the individual and specific productive development. The quality of solutions of personality development problems, included in the system of continuous education, is of interest from the standpoint of traditional and innovative professional and pedagogical knowledge, as evidenced in the actualization and visualization methods and details of making the experience of domestic and foreign levels.</p>

Abstract: Sleep is defined as a subconscious condition when the individual may be arose from sleep by giving him or her with stimulation which is a crucial process for human beings in the formation of new body cells, the improvement of damaged cells, and to maintain the balance of body metabolism and biochemistry. The quality of sleep described by less time of sleep have impact on the body, as biological process taking place at the moment of sleep would be disturbed. One of them is disturbance in the formation of hemoglobin in which a change shall be occurring where the content of hemoglobin is lower than its normal value. This study is analytical descriptive using a cross-sectional approach. Of 78 samples under study, the good quality sleep is 7 persons (9.0%) and the bad is 71 persons (91.0%). Normal content of hemoglobin is 40 person (51.3%) and abnormal is 38 persons (48,7%). The good quality sleep and normal content of hemoglobin is 4 persons (57.1%) and abnormal is 3 persons (42.9%). The bad quality sleep and normal content of hemoglobin is 36 persons (50.77%) and abnormal is 35 persons (49.3%). Conclusion: Most of students at Faculty of Medicine, Sam Ratulangi University, have bad quality sleep and normal content of hemoglobin. There are no differences between the content of hemoglobin from the 5th semester student in Medical Faculty student with who has good and bad sleep quality.Keywords: quality of sleep, hemoglobin Abstrak: Tidur didefinisikan sebagai suatu keadaan bawah sadar saat orang tersebut dapat dibangunkan dengan pemberian ransangan yang juga merupakan proses yang sangat dibutuhkan manusia untuk pembentukan sel-sel tubuh yang baru, perbaikan sel-sel tubuh yang rusak maupun untuk menjaga keseimbangan metabolisme dan biokimiawi tubuh. Kualitas tidur yang digambarkan dengan waktu tidur yang kurang akan membawa dampak bagi tubuh karena proses biologis yang terjadi saat tidur akan ikut terganggu. Salah satunya adalah pembentukan kadar hemoglobin yang terganggu dimana akan terjadi perubahan dimana kadar hemoglobin menjadi lebih rendah dari nilai normalnya. Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif-analitik dengan pendekatan potong lintang. Dari 78 sampel pemelitian, kualitas tidur yang baik sebanyak 7 orang (9,0 %) dan yang buruk sebanyak 71 orang (91,0 %). Kadar hemoglobin normal sebanyak 40 orang (51,3 %) dan tidak normal sebanyak 38 orang (48,7 %). Kualitas tidur baik dengan kadar hemoglobin normal adalah 4 orang (57,1 %) dan kadar hemoglobin tidak normal adalah 3 orang (42,9 %). Kualitas tidur buruk dengan kadar hemoglobin normal adalah 36 orang (50,7 %) dan kadar hemoglobin tidak normal adalah 35 orang (49,3 %). Simpulan: Sebaigan besar mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Unsrat mempunyai kualitas tidur yang buruk dan mempunyai kadar hemoglobin yang normal. Tidak terdapat perbedaan kadar hemoglobin pada mahasiswa semester 5 Fakultas Kedokteran Unsrat dengan kualitas tidur yang baik dan yang buruk. Kata kunci: kualitas tidur, hemoglobin

95 Background: As Patient advocates we have spent years gathering/ sharing information about simple, natural strategies to reduce risk of cancer treatment-related toxicities and strengthen the immune system. Methods: We created a simple 3 step program that absolutely anyone with cancer, at any stage, can incorporate into their own healthful protocol. Since it involves no tools and can be used at the level that an individual is at the time they start, we consider it appropriate for all. Further we cannot see any objection from the Oncologist or staff members. Step 1 is eating one more fruit and one more vegetable every day. This is helpful since studies show few Americans are getting enough fruits or vegetables. The National Cancer Institute considers ‘Five a Day’, a minimum. We want to get people started on the correct path simply and easily. Step 2 is taking a walk around the room, facility or neighborhood depending on ability and health status. This has been shown by many studies to help anyone with cancer, undergoing treatment or in recovery. We are not asking folks to become athletes; we are involving them in a plan to improve their health. Step 3: 7 deep breaths before treatment, in a stressful situation or at bedtime. This step is important to reduce stress and encourage relaxation. Results: Every step moves people forward into better health. We believe taking these first steps will lead to more healthful behaviors, better ability to handle conventional cancer treatments, and an easier recovery. Conclusions: Immune system health depends on the individual as much as any treatments. In this era of Immunology, we see a real opportunity for our Patient/Advocate-driven concept.

The subject of this research is the individual respiration constant calculated based on the respiratory musculature breathing equation. This non-experimental observation conducted on a sample of students from the Faculty of Sports and Physical Education in Belgrade (N=30). The measurement aimed at the acquisition and analysis of the average power of the surface electromyography signal (sEMG) in the protocols before and after prolonged respiratory retention. The results of the research showed that the individual coefficient of control break (Cp) represents a unique characteristic of the respiratory muscles of the subjects. In a relatively trained sample of young people of both sexes, it determined that after holding their breath, until the moment of the so-called "stroke" (progression of respiration to adapt to a stressful situation), recovery time has a linear course and is directly related to the engagement of the monitored respiratory muscles of the subjects, i.e., indirectly the capacity of the individual to assimilate O2 from the inhaled air. In the practical meaning of this research, we emphasize that individual results can be correlated with the equation of respiration of respiratory muscles, to find out and approach the original method for the presented personal respirational constant.

Like a typical developing country, Pakistan has been facing the challenge of losing its human resources to the more prosperous and developed countries. A sizable number of the of country's highly qualified and experienced professionals immigrate to the so-called Western and Middle Eastern regions for a wide variety of reasons. At best, this phenomenon generates some financial resources in the form of remittances sent by these overseas Pakistanis. But at worst, it constantly impoverishes the various types of enterprises, services and sectors that develop and invest in these professionals in the form of subsidized training/education at different levels. Brain drain is also governed by a multitude of influences generated locally as well as globally. Comparative monetary benefits, quality of life, perceptions of better prospects for future generations, social freedom and liberal atmosphere are some parameters that are crucial in affecting the decision making at the individual level. Different stakeholders respond to brain drain in very different ways. The most peculiar is the official viewpoint, which favors the whole situation. The governments consider brain drain as an economically productive phenomenon. Remittances and direct transactions generated by the highly qualified human resources are taken as an achievement, instead of an impending predicament in the way of national development.

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.

This paper argues that the rise of what is commonly termed "personal religion" during the Classic-Hellenistic period is not the result of an inner need or even quality of the self, as often argued by those who see in ancient Greece foreshadowing of Christianity, but rather was the result of social, economic, and political conditions that made it possible for Hellenistic Greeks to redefine the perception of the individual and its relationship to others.

From a phenomenological perspective, the reflective quality of water has a visually dramatic impact, especially when combined with the light of celestial phenomena. However, the possible presence of water as a means for reflecting the sky is often undervalued when interpreting archaeoastronomical sites. From artificial water spaces, such as ditches, huacas and wells to natural ones such as rivers, lakes and puddles, water spaces add a layer of interacting reflections to landscapes. In the cosmological understanding of skyscapes and waterscapes, a cross-cultural metaphorical association between water spaces and the underworld is often revealed. In this research, water-skyscapes are explored through the practice of auto-ethnography and reflexive phenomenology. The mirroring of the sky in water opens up themes such as the continuity, delimitation and manipulation of sky phenomena on land: water spaces act as a continuation of the sky on earth; depending on water spaces’ spatial extension, selected celestial phenomena can be periodically reflected within architectures, so as to make the heavenly dimension easily accessible and a possible object of manipulation. Water-skyscapes appear as specular worlds, where water spaces are assumed to be doorways to the inner reality of the unconscious. The fluid properties of water have the visual effect of dissipating borders, of merging shapes, and, therefore, of dissolving identities; in the inner landscape, this process may represent symbolic death experiences and rituals of initiation, where the annihilation of the individual allows the creative process of a new life cycle. These contextually generalisable results aim to inspire new perspectives on sky-and-water related case studies and give value to the practice of reflexive phenomenology as crucial method of research.

This article examines the limits of Heidegger’s ontological description of emotionality from the period of Sein und Zeit and Die Grundbegriffe der Metaphysik along the lines outlined by Lévinas in his early work De l’existence à l’existant. On the basis of the Lévinassian concept of “il y a”, we attempt to map the sphere of the impersonal existence situated out of the structured context of the world. However the worldless facticity without individuality marks the limits of the phenomenological approach to human existence and its emotionality, it also opens a new view on the beginning and ending of the individual existence. The whole structure of the individual existence in its contingency and finitude appears here in a new light, which applies also to the temporal conditions of existence. Yet, this is not to say that Heidegger should be simply replaced by Lévinas. As shows an examination of the work of art, to which brings us our reading of Moravia’s literary exposition of boredom (the phenomenon closely examined in Die Grundbegriffe der Metaphysik), the view on the work of art that is entirely based on the anonymous and worldless facticity of il y a must be extended and complemented by the moment in which a new world and a new individual structure of experience are being born. To comprehend the dynamism of the work of art in its fullness, it is necessary to see it not only as an ending of the world and the correlative intentional structure of the individual existence, but also as their new beginning.
