Analysis on specific morfologic adaptation in the game of rugby in 7 - feminine, senior level

With the transition of rugby in 7 as an Olympic sport, performance standards have increased, the game becoming much faster and well structured, which also brings major changes in terms of the morphological profile of the player. The aim of this research is to achieve the morphological profile of rugby players from the first domestic league, and then the results to be compared with those of the players of professional leagues from countries with a tradition in the sport. The study took place in the pre-competition stage, on 24 professional rugby players, all active in the first league of the domestic championship in Romania and Ukraine respectively. The group represented by the team SC Politehnica Iasi, aged between 18-29 years-old and lot B components of the team from Ukraine, aged 18-31 years-old, both teams having rugby experience between 4-18 years-old. The research methods used in the study were: literature analysis, observation, pedagogical experiment, statistical, graphic representation method. The tests applied were: height, body mass, muscle mass, muscle fat tissue and mobility of the spine. The results of the analysis on compartments help to confirm the hypothesis, since following the study started, the players of the forwards compartment fall between the optimal values of the players of lot B, the back compartment recording values close to the optimal ones.

INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC STATE OF RADIOLOGICALLY CONTAMINATED AREAS OF UKRAINE

Objective. Basing on the integrated assessment to conduct a comparative statistical analysis as of 2016 of the demographic state of the areas of Ukraine that are recognized as those with the most intensive radiological contamination due to the Chornobyl NPP accident. Study object. The population of the regions of Ukraine with the most intensive radiological contamination due to the Chornobyl NPP accident and the population of Ukraine as a whole (control). Materials and methods. The data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine and its regional offices were used as information base in this study. Integrated assessment of the demographic situation in a oblast was conducted based on the calculations of the territorial indices and multidimensional average variable on each region. Demographic, mathematical-statistical, graphic, software-technological methods were used in this study. Results and conclusion. Radiologically contaminated regions of Ukraine differ significantly: both by the number of population (from 5800 people in the Poliske region to 105100 people in the Sarny region), and by the variability in themedical and demographic indicators; bothone from another and compared to data for the country. The results of the calculations of 10 medical and demographic («positive» and «negative») territorial indices and multidimensional average variable (P) as integrative assessment of the demographic state have revealed that the best indicators of the demographic situation in 2016 were in Rokytne (P = 1.249) and Sarny (P = 1.112) regions of the Rivne oblast, while the worse indicators were in Kozelets (P = 0.363) and Ripky regions of the Chernihiv oblast. The demographic situation of the Olevsk region of the Zhytomyr oblast (P = 0.947)was the closest to the national average one. Poliske, Narodychi, Ovruch, Ivankiv and Korosten regions take intermediate position as comparedto the regions of Rivne and Chernihiv oblasts (P = 0.618–0.742). Key words: Chornobyl accident, radioactively contaminated areas, demographic situation, integrated assessment.

TRAUMATISM AND SOME ASPECTS OF TRAUMA CARE IN TRANSCARPATHIAN REGION AS A PART OF PUBLIC HEALTH

The aim is to study and analyze the levels of general traumatism of the population, some aspects of trauma care in Transcarpathian region regarding administrative units. Materials and methods: Medical-statistical, graphic and biblio-semantic methods were used. The data of sectoral statistical reporting in Transcarpathian region for 2014-2018 formed the base of the study. Results: It is determined that the highest rates of traumatism (over 470 per 10 thousand population) are characteristic for the eastern districts of the region; the average indicators (260-470 per 10 thousand population) – for the northern and southern ones, and the lowest (less than 260 per 10 thousand population) – for the central and western parts of the region. The inequality of distribution of traumatological beds in the region in relation to the levels of injury in the administrative territories was determined. Conclusions: With the established tendency to decrease of general traumatism in Transcarpathian region for the period 2014-2018, significant inequalities of the specified indicator and inconsistency of traumatological beds availability in the administrative territories were revealed.

THE STUDY OF REGIONAL PECULIARITIES OF PARENTERAL VIRAL HEPATITIS INCIDENCE DYNAMICS AMONG CHILDREN AS AN INSTRUMENT OF DEVELOPING COMPLEX REGIONAL SOCIAL PROGRAMS ON THE PREVENTION OF ITS INCREASE

Introduction: the problem of increase of viral hepatitis incidence which are transmitted in the haemocontact (parenteral) way remains unresolved in the majority countries of the world. The special relevance is acquired lately by a problem of increase of risk of transfer of an infection among children of teenage age, youth, in the main ways of transmission of infection among which there is a risky behavior, addictions (the injection use of narcotic substances) and the unprotected sexual relations due to the lack of informing and awareness of risk of a disease and irreversible losses of health in the future. The aim: Studying of regional features of incidence of parenteral viral hepatitis among children and teenagers with justification of the priority directions of prevention of its increase in the context of implementation of regional comprehensive programs became a research objective. Materials and methods: Data from official forms of the statistical reporting on cases of diseases of viral hepatitis (sharp and chronic) in forms No. 1, No. 2 “The report about separate infections and parasitic diseases” (annual) MZ of Ukraine became primary material for a research. For achievement of a goal methods have been used: system approach, medico-statistical, graphic and conceptual modeling, and organizational experiment. Review: During a research of 2007-2016 it has been established that the majority of viral hepatitis’s in Ukraine (58,79 ± 0,44%) is diagnosed in a chronic stage of a disease, and especially in the Kirovohrad region (80,35 ± 2,14%). Increase of incidence of parenteral viral hepatitis’s B and C in the Kirovohrad region has happened in age group of children of 15-17 years to prevalence in structure of incidence of children of chronic viral hepatitis’s of hepatitis C (52,7 ± 5,8%) that demands search of the medico-organizational reasons of formation of the established incidence tendencies for a solution of the problem of their distribution due to early preventive intervention within complex program social influence. Conclusions: Accounting of regional features of incidence of parenteral hepatitises became scientific justification for acceptance to execution of the comprehensive regional social program of prevention of their distribution among teenagers and youth of the Kirovohrad region.

“All Models Are Wrong”

Several years ago, the first thing i learned in my introductory statistics class was the following declaration, which the instructor had written in capital letters on the blackboard: “all models are wrong.” Models are statistical, graphic, or physical objects, and their primary quality is that they can be manipulated. Scientists and social scientists use them to think about the social or natural worlds and to represent those worlds in a simplified manner. Statistical models, which dominate the social sciences, particularly in economics, are typically equations with response and predictor variables. Specifically, a researcher seeks to understand some social phenomenon, such as the relation between students' scores on a math test and how many hours the students spent preparing for the exam. To predict or describe this relation, the researcher constructs a quantitative model with quantitative inputs (the number of hours each student spent studying) and outputs (each student's test score). The researcher hopes that the number of hours a student spent preparing for the exam will correlate with the student's score. If it does, this quantified relation can help describe the overall dynamics of test taking.

MANOVAMAP: Graphical Representation of MANOVA in Marketing Research

The author proposes a graphical representation of the multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). This representation, termed a “MANOVAMAP,” shows the magnitude of MANOVA model effects and their statistical significance in an easily interpreted statistical graphic. The author discusses the use and construction of MANOVAMAPs for an empirical example and compares it with both a traditional MANOVA analysis of the data and a traditional graphical analysis based on centroid plots.
