Intelligent System for Training and Assessment of Basketball Referee in Sports Event Using Intelligent Sensor

Aiming at the problem of the fairness of the judgment results in the traditional basketball referee training and evaluation process affected by external factors, an intelligent system for training and assessment of basketball referees in sports events based on intelligent sensors is proposed. We collect the judged poses of basketball referees by wearing intelligent sensor devices, store the collected information in the database using the converter, and analyze the pose data with the quaternion pose solution method based on complementary filters. According to the comparator, the analysis result is compared with the standard judgment information, and the action is judged whether the action conforms to the basketball judgment rules of the sports event. The judge’s action pose score is evaluated according to the judgment result, and the training assessment result is outputted. The results show that the system can clearly simulate the acceleration and pose angle data of the referee’s complex actions, the recognition rate of various basketball penalty poses is high, and the error of the pitch, yaw, and roll pose calculations is small. The response time of this system is 4 ms, when the number of requests sent by the client is 200 which is unanimously approved by the referees.

Eight Discipline-Problem Based Learning in Industrial Training Program to Develop Future Proof Skills Among Graduate Engineers

The mismatch of skills is one of the main reasons for unemployment. The analysis revealed employers’ agreement of graduate engineers’ performance in non-technical skills which is deemed to not meet their expectations. Therefore, to align with the needs of employers; universities are working hard to close the gap and begin to focus to produce work-ready engineers whom are good asset for the industry and those who are able to work with minimal supervision independently. The various jobs and non-technical skills triggered a vast change to the labor market with a prime shift in the skills required to thrive in the new environment anticipated but also to business structures that was requested from Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0). The nine skills would be Leadership, Flexibility and Adaptability, and Language literacy, Critical thinking and solving problems, Holistic, Entrepreneurial and Balance, Resilience, Values and Ethics, Compassion and Mindfulness, Creativity and Innovation. These skills or talents that recognize employees as competent are called as future-proof non-technical skills. The purpose of this paper is to upgrade the nine future-proof non-technical skills that are set especially for the engineering students through industrial training, and also to demonstrate the capability of Eight-Discipline-Problem based learning (8D-PBL); and things need to be emphasized in industrial training assessment method to ensure the objective of the industrial training is achieved.

Circulating Levels of Bone Markers after Short-Term Intense Training with Increased Dairy Consumption in Adolescent Female Athletes

Thirteen female adolescent soccer players (14.3 ± 1.3 years) participated in a cross-over, double-blind trial examining the effects of Greek yogurt (GY) consumption on bone biomarkers during 5 days of intense soccer training. The study took place over two intervention weeks, which consisted of a pre-training assessment day, 5 training days, and a post-training assessment day. Participants completed the GY condition and a carbohydrate isocaloric placebo control pudding condition (CHO) in random order, 4 weeks apart. Morning, fasted, resting blood samples were collected pre- and post-training in each condition. Total osteocalcin (tOC), undercarboxylated osteocalcin (unOC), C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and receptor activator nuclear factor kappa-β ligand (RANKL) were measured in serum. The results showed no effects for time (pre- to post-training) or condition, and no interaction for tOC, CTX, OPG, RANKL, and the OPG/RANKL ratio. A time-by-condition interaction (p = 0.011) was observed in unOC, reflecting a post-training decrease in the GY, but not the CHO condition (−26% vs. −3%, respectively). However, relative unOC (% of tOC) decreased post-training (−16%), with no differences between conditions. These findings suggest that short-term high-impact intense training had no direct catabolic impact on bone metabolism, with GY adding no benefit beyond that of the isocaloric CHO control pudding.

Language Training and Language Training Practices in The Call Center Industry

Language training practices, in terms of management of training communication, are common to all call centers. Call center policies, requirements as well as activities are implemented and regularly observed. This descriptive research, which used qualitative analysis, investigated the language training practices employed by language trainers in developing the language skills of call center agents and the call center agents’ perception of the effectiveness of language training provided by the call center. Data were drawn from interviews with language trainers and call center agents. Results revealed that language trainers had the same practices in their respective companies during the language training in terms of language training assessment, monitoring, and coaching. However, in terms of components or key areas in the criteria used for the training processes, and the manner of implementation of the activities or intervention conducted varies from one call center to another. Accent neutralization was taught and practiced to eliminate regional accents while using scripted language is for formats and call branding for first- timers. The findings of this study also showed that language training provided by call centers was perceived differently by call center agents. Call center agents found the training good enough for the job, while others did not. Findings of the study also revealed that the training was more focused on products and less on language aspects. Agents believed that not all knowledge and skills learned were applied in the actual job. Call centers may consider focusing the training on language, specifically on areas/aspects that agents found to have a deficiency.

SP2.1.16Prognostic significance of Drivers at Work and Learning Styles in surgical training

Aims Drivers at Work (DW) and Learning Styles (LS) refer to a range of contentious theories that aim to account for differences in career progression, yet seldom feature in training assessment. This study aimed to quantify the influence of Core Surgical Trainees’ (CST) DW and LS on career progression. Methods Kolb LS inventories were distributed to 168 CSTs during five consecutive induction boot camps in a single Statutory Education Body. Primary outcome measures were MRCS and National Training Number (NTN) success. Results Of 108 responses received (response rate 64.3%), 64.8% were male and 35.2% female (p = 0.003). The spectrum of DW was: Please People (25%), Be Perfect (21.3%), Hurry Up (18.5%), Be Strong (13.9%), and Try Hard (0%, p < 0.001). DW was either unequivocal or not provided by 23 CSTs (21.3%). The spectrum of LS was: Converging (34.3%), Accommodating (28.7%), Diverging (23.1%), and Assimilating (13.9%, p = 0.021). MRCS success was not associated with DW (p = 0.703) or LS (p = 0.598). Men were more likely to have Converging LS (29/70, 41.4%), and women Diverging LS (15/38, 39.5%, p = 0.018) and to have team-based LS (Accommodating / Diverging, 26/38 vs. 30/70, p = 0.010). NTN success was associated with LS (p = 0.038) with Convergers achieving most NTNs (65.4%). Conclusions LS are associated with important differences in career progression with Converging LS three-fold more likely to achieve NTNs than Diverging LS.

Restructuring of an evidence-based practice curriculum and assessment with structural mapping by course outcome verb

Objective An evidence-based clinical practice (EBCP) subcurriculum within a chiropractic curriculum was restructured to distribute EBCP topics to courses throughout the curriculum. We posited that this would enhance student learning through early exposure, repetition, and the use of progressively more difficult levels of learning. In this paper we describe how we determined if Bloom's verb level trended upward from the beginning of the curriculum to the end and if there were any gaps in presentation of topics periodically in the curriculum. We describe how we determined if the restructured subcurriculum provided adequate integration of topics. Methods EBCP committee chairs created templates of the new structure, solicited feedback from the faculty, and faculty members volunteered to assimilate topics into courses. Support for the faculty included comprehensive PowerPoint production and in-service training. Assessment for trends and gaps was performed of the resultant learning outcomes by mapping 13 quarters against 6 Bloom's verb levels for 19 topics. Results Fourteen of the topics had increasing linear model trends indicating verb progression. Decreased attention to EBCP topics was identified in some quarters. Conclusion The graphical mapping process seemed useful to find EBCP topics that did not show progression of Bloom's verb difficulty and gaps in topics in the restructured subcurriculum.

TRAINING RUSSIAN SPECIALISTS TO APPLY GREEN STANDARDS

This article discusses the features of the application of international "green" standards in Russian practice. In addition, the features of Russian "green" standards are considered and a comparative analysis of the similarities and differences of the five "green" standards is carried out (BREEAM, LEED, DGNB, "Green standards", STO NOSTROY). The experience of application in Russian project activities has been studied. Moreover, the article presents the results of a scientific and practical experiment, which is carried out as part of a scientific research. The experiment involves 15 senior students, 3 experts in various "green" standards. As part of the thesis, each student conducted a training assessment of his object, designed as part of the diploma qualification work, according to one of the proposed "green" standards. Further, the result of the work is included in the form of an additional and independent section in the Explanatory Note to the diploma. In result, the main difficulties in the application of "green" standards are identified, conclusions are drawn on their positive impact on the design process. The relevance of possessing knowledge in the field of application of international "green" standards is noted, as well as ways of smooth implementation of the basic principles of "green" standards in the design practice of Russian architects are proposed.

Construction Industry Training Assessment Framework

The construction industry suffers from a lack of structured assessment methods to consistently gauge the efficacy of workforce training programs. To address this issue, this study presents a framework for construction industry training assessment that identifies established practices rooted in evaluation science and developed from a review of archival construction industry training literature. Inclusion criteria for the evaluated studies are: archival training studies focused on the construction industry workforce and integration of educational theory in training creation or implementation. Literature meeting these criteria are summarized and a case review is presented detailing assessment practices and results. The assessment practices are then synthesized with the Kirkpatrick Model to analyze how closely industry assessment corresponds with established training evaluation standards. The study culminates in a training assessment framework created by integrating practices described in the identified studies, established survey writing practices, and the Kirkpatrick Model. This study found that two-thirds of reviewed literature used surveys, questionnaires, or interviews to assess training efficacy, two studies that used questionnaires to assess training efficacy provided question text, three studies measured learning by administering tests to training participants, one study measured changed behavior as a result of training, and one study measured organizational impact as a result of training.
