Maintenance of Russian secondary school students' health (organizational and administrative aspect)

The relevance of the investigated problem is caused by the need to ensure the quality of educational institutions activities aimed at students' health maintenance through the creation of conditions for the organization and management of the activity. The purpose of the article is to develop organizational and pedagogical conditions of maintenance management process, to preserve students' health. Leading methodological approach to the study of this problem is systematic approach that allows considering educational organizations activities aimed at health maintenance as a certain system, to identify a specific set of its constituent elements and show their relationship. The article presents a structural-functional model of health service and according to management principles 1) covers the main areas of activity (labor division principle); 2) identifies the basis of their structural units (structuring principle); 3) the functions of health service activity as a whole, its subsidiaries and certain performers (functional operations accounting principle); 4) provides integrative management performance criteria for health service activities. The information contained in the article may be useful to teachers in terms of the organization of activity on health maintenance in educational institutions by changing organizational and management component of this activity. © 2018 Authors

Building of projecting competence among future teachers in the conditions of introduction of inclusive education

The relevance of the researched problem is caused by the need of consideration of teachers’ readiness for work in the conditions of inclusive education, and change of process of their professional training (on the example of specialists in the sphere of physical education). The purpose of publication consists in the development of pedagogical model of the projecting competence building which will provide effective forecasting, modeling and planning of educational process. The leading approach to the research of a problem is the system-based approach which allows us to analyze the process of building of projecting competence as pedagogical system, and on the basis of it to determine its structural and functional characteristics. The results of the research on identification of the relation of future physical education (PE) teachers to a possibility of work in the conditions of inclusive education are provided; the pedagogical model of projecting competence building among teachers including target, substantial, organizational and estimative-productive components is offered. Materials of the publication can be useful to the scientists while studying questions of implementation of an inclusive education in the Russian education system, to the specialists who are engaged in the organization of training of future teachers, to the teachers working in the educational organizations of various types, to students of pedagogical higher education institutions. © 2016 Ketrish et al

A small parameter approach for few-body problems

A procedure to solve few-body problems is developed which is based on an expansion over a small parameter. The parameter is the ratio of potential energy to kinetic energy for states having not small hyperspherical quantum numbers, K>K_0. Dynamic equations are reduced perturbatively to equations in the finite-dimension subspace with K\le K_0. Contributions from states with K>K_0 are taken into account in a closed form, i.e. without an expansion over basis functions. Estimates on efficiency of the approach are presented.Comment: 17 pages, 1 figur

On the problem of first year students adaptation to the learning process in a university

The relevance of the studied problem is the fact that successful adaptation of a first year student to life and academic activity in a university is the key to the further development of each student as a personality and a professional in the field of his or her activity. The purpose of the paper is to identify the reasons for the decline in the efficiency of first year university students’ academic activity and to develop an integrated program aimed at more successful first year student’s adaptation to the studying process at a university. The leading approach to the study is the personal- and activity-based one, for it allows determining the best conditions for the development of a personality as an active subject that gets to know and transforms the world and itself in the process of activity. The results of the studying the adaptation of first year students to the learning process in a university are presented, and the authors propose an integrated program aimed at more successful adaptation of first year students to the learning process, including the meaningful, organizational and evaluative-productive components. At the same time, the substantial structure of the program was aimed at creating certain pedagogical conditions for the efficient adaptation of first year students to the learning process. The obtained results testify the fact that the wisely structured process of the first year students adaptation allows increasing their social activity and to reduce their attrition. In this study, the process of adaptation is based on the active engagement of first year students in various mass sports events. The materials of the paper may be useful to scientists dealing with the issues of improving the adaptive abilities of students, as well as specialists involved in the teaching organization, teachers and university students.Keywords: Adaptation, students, learning process, means of physical education, sports ans mass sports events

Sea surface wind perturbations over the Kashevarov Bank of the Okhotsk Sea: a satellite study

Sea surface wind perturbations over sea surface temperature (SST) cold anomalies over the Kashevarov Bank (KB) of the Okhotsk Sea are analyzed using satellite (AMSR-E and QuikSCAT) data during the summer-autumn period of 2006–2009. It is shown, that frequency of cases of wind speed decreasing over a cold spot in August–September reaches up to 67%. In the cold spot center SST cold anomalies reached 10.5 °C and wind speed lowered down to ~7 m s⁻¹ relative its value on the periphery. The wind difference between a periphery and a centre of the cold spot is proportional to SST difference with the correlations 0.5 for daily satellite passes data, 0.66 for 3-day mean data and 0.9 for monthly ones. For all types of data the coefficient of proportionality consists of ~0.3 m s⁻¹ on 1 °C

Probing guided monolayer semiconductor polaritons below the light line

In this work, we demonstrate an approach to study exciton-polaritons supported by transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers coupled to an unstructured planar waveguide below the light line. In order to excite and probe such waves propagating along the interface with the evanescent fields exponentially decaying away from the guiding layer, we employ a hemispherical ZnSe solid immersion lens (SIL) precisely positioned in the vicinity of the sample. We visualize the dispersion of guided polaritons using back focal (Fourier) plane imaging spectroscopy with the high-NA objective lens focus brought to the center of SIL. This results in the effective numerical aperture of the system exceeding an exceptional value of 2.2 in the visible range. In the experiment, we study guided polaritons supported by a WS2 monolayer transferred on top of a Ta2O5 plane-parallel optical waveguide. We confirm room-temperature strong light-matter coupling regime enhanced by ultra-low intrinsic ohmic and radiative losses of the waveguide. Note that in the experiment, total radiative losses can be broadly tuned by controlling SIL-to-sample distance. This gives a valuable degree of freedom for the study of polariton properties. Our approach lays the ground for future studies of light-matter interaction employing guided modes and surface waves
