Application of Blockchain-Based Sports Health Data Collection System in the Development of Sports Industry

In recent years, with the continuous development of blockchain technology and the prosperity of digital currency, various industries have carried out extensive practice around the application of blockchain technology, such as my country’s sports industry. Through the measurement and collection of athletes’ health and exercise information, the athlete’s exercise volume and exercise level can be quantitatively evaluated. Blockchain technology provides a new opportunity for the development of the sports industry. The characteristics of the decentralization, security, credibility, and traceability of the data collection system are highly compatible with the development of the sports industry. In order to develop and expand the sports industry and scientifically evaluate the physical fitness of athletes, this research focuses on the blockchain-based sports health data collection system in the sports industry. This article adopts the accuracy index and the formula of data return and conducts demand analysis, accuracy, and recall analysis of the health data collection system. The research conclusion of this paper is that when using sensors to collect sports health data, the data collection of sensors located on the arm is more accurate, with an accuracy rate of over 90%, and the collection effect of multinode sensors is higher than that of single-node sensors. The collection of sports health data is beneficial to the training of athletes and the development of the sports industry to meet the growing demand for sports health. Our country’s sports industry will also develop with the application of blockchain.

TRANSLATION HISTORY FROM A GENERAL LINGUISTIC PERSPECTIVE: RESEARCH THE CONCEPTUAL DEVICE AND TRANSFORMATION MECHANISMS

Translation has been classified into the humanities since its inception. Its establishment as a science has a special theory that has gone through many stages. This required intellectual innovation that began with extensive practice, and later moved to theorizing. The theorists of the 1950s sought to formulate proposals that were characterized by their important methodology and their focus on key and specific linguistics issues, and stressed the need to prove that translation issues and problems belong the field of linguistics. In this way, translation has gained its linguistics and pedagogical dimensions. Thus it has become possible to describe translations departing from the source and target languages. Additionally, it has become possible teaching translation as the process of moving from one language to another to the extent that some researchers, after the expansion of translation studies, started considering it a pure applied linguistics practice. In this study, I elaborate the contribution of linguistics in theorizing translation by tracking the work of a group of linguists, including Nida in his project of theorizing the science of translation, Vinay and Darbelnet through his model of translation transformations, Catford in his approach to translation transformations within the framework of applied linguistics, Roman Jacobson regarding his proposals in the semiotics approaches, and George Monan in the linguistic theory approach to translation, and Fedorov in his contribution to the modern Theory of Translation...The objectives of this are to monitor the nature of the interest of these linguistics researchers and the specific background knowledge of each one of them, the nature of the conceptual devices and the analysis and classification mechanisms surrounding the problems faced by translators, particularly the difficulties of analyzing the source text and reformulating the target text through an awareness of the difference between languages.

Academic Literacy for Deaf Postsecondary Students through Integrated Reading and Writing Instruction

Based on theoretical findings from the literature on the integration of reading and writing pedagogies used with hearing postsecondary students to advance academic literacy, this article offers a model of instruction for achieving academic literacy in developmental and freshman composition courses composed of deaf students. Academic literacy is viewed as the product of acts of composing in reading and writing which best transpire through reciprocal rather than separate reading and writing activities. Pedagogical practices based on theoretical findings and teacher experience are presented as a model of instruction, exemplified as artifacts in online supplementary materials and juxtaposed with practices used with hearing students. Differences between the practices are seen in accommodations for students who learn visually, the amount of guidance provided and more opportunities for extensive practice.

Acquiring the Art of Conducting: Deliberate Practice as Part of Professional Learning

Research was and still is involved in the controversial issue about innate talent or extensive practice as the determinants of excellent performance in a range of domains. This study aims to contribute by presenting an analysis of practice activities in a domain that appears to be particularly suitable—orchestral conducting. Most conductors usually attain expertise in instrument playing prior to commencing conducting studies. Twenty-seven students of German study programs of orchestral conducting (approximately 18.7% of the population) responded to a questionnaire about their practice activities in conducting programs and their instrumental experiences. Descriptive results show the wealth of prestudy experiences conducting students have. A clear influence on practice activities cannot be stated. During study, students rated conducting-specific practice activities as more demanding and devoted more time to them than to general music practice activities. Therefore, conducting-specific practice activities might have been practiced more deliberately than general music practice activities.

Forms of government and party systems in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia: 30 years of independence

This article focuses on the peculiarities of government forms in Baltic states that were once part of the USSR: Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. The constitutional and legal bases of relations between presidents and their parliaments and governments are considered in detail, and the author makes a comparative analysis of institutions operating in these states. This article also examines the grounds for the resignation of governments, their heads, and individual ministers, as well as discussing the features of the party and electoral systems of these Baltic States. These systems’ functions face several problems, and forms of government like semi-presidential and parliamentary republics are shown to lack effectiveness across the Baltic States. It is important to note the instability of these governments, which changed every two and a half years on average, although this did not affect the countries’ economies. The presidents of these republics performed political mediation effectively and ensured a constant dialogue with political forces. Since national governments were formed on a non-coalition basis in all three States, an extensive practice of inter-party agreements and alliances began. This created a new type of political culture, where prejudice towards the Russian communities of the states in Latvia and Estonia was prevalent, and this issue is addressed in the article.

Incense Stick: An Overlooked Source of Health Hazard

Nepal, predominantly inhabited by people driven by the principles of Hinduism and Buddhism, has seen the practice of burning incense sticks for a very long time. There has been an extensive practice of burning incense sticks in temples, monasteries, and even regularly in indoor household settings. This article puts light on the constituents of smoke coming from a burning incense stick and on the possible risks, they possess for occupational hazards and indoor air pollution.

Mutual influence of pregnancy and childbirth on the operation of shortening the round uterine ligaments and vice versa

On the basis of theoretical considerations and conclusions from his own extensive practice, the author refutes the opinion shared by many gynecologists that the operation of shortening the round ligaments disrupts the normal course of the subsequent pregnancy, causing a miscarriage, or if pregnancy reaches the end of childbirth and in exceptional cases are again distended, and the uterus is again displaced posteriorly, as it was before the operation. According to the author, both are delusions based on theoretical considerations, and not on experience data.

Cyrillic in the system of written culture traditions of the Kalmyk people

The paper considers the Cyrillic-based Kalmyk writing and is timed to the 95th anniversary of its introduction into practice in 1924. The advantages of this writing are considered in the context of the centuries-old rich tradition of writing culture of the Kalmyk people. First of all, it was the common Mongolian writing with more than one and a half thousand-year history,and “Clear writing” created in the middle of the 17th century. The Kalmyks chose a new script on a Cyrillic basis, leaving their traditional national scripts for socio-cultural, political, and technical reasons. It was impossible to print on a vertical line the merged writing of letters peculiar to traditional writing systems in those years. While using Cyrillic writing, the Kalmyk people, like other peoples of our country, achieved remarkable success in the sphere of educational, cultural, and economic development. The national intelligentsia was formed. Classical works of Russian and foreign fiction, as well as works of oral folk art and new Kalmyk literature, were published in the Kalmyk language. The extensive practice of establishing and using Cyrillic-based writing by the peoples of Russia, including the Kalmyk people, proves the completeness of alphabetic characters, the possibility of combining them for the written transmission of systems of different types of languages and their structural units, as well as the universality of the Cyrillic alphabet.
