Get PDFThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of psychodrama psychotherapycompared with treatment-as-usual for patients diagnosed with severe major depressive disorder(MDD) in an inpatient setting. The sample included 30 patients with severe unipolar depression,randomly divided into a study group (N=15) participating in a psychodrama intervention inaddition to the routine hospital protocol and a control group (N=15) participating only in theroutine hospital protocol. Clinical assessment was performed with the Beck DepressionInventory (BDI-II), the Montgomery-Ã…sberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and the ZungSelf-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). The results of the study showed a decrease in depressive andanxiety symptoms as measured by MADRS, BDI and SAS, and this decrease was significantlygreater for the psychodrama intervention group. Limitations of the present study, as well asimplications for clinical treatment and research, are discussed
An Explorative Literature Review of The Influence of Physical Exercises on Bone Mineral Density
Get PDFIntroduction: With age, bone mineral density decreases, and as a result therisk of fracture increases. It is known that practicing physical exercises helpsmaintain or increase bone mineral density in both men and women. ����������Fracturesresulting from osteoporosis become increasingly common in women after age55 years, resulting in substantial bone-associated morbidities, and increasedmortality and health-care costs. Physical exercises stimulates the bone andit adapts to the applied mechanical forces, stimulating the obsteoblast andinhibiting osteoclast formation and activity. Purpose: The purpose of thisstudy is to highlight the benefits of physical exercise on bone cells and bonemineral density, respectively. Methods: We searched Science Direct, SpringerLink, Web of Science and PubMed for articles and reviews in the Englishlanguage pusblished between 2000 and 2020, although older references werealso used when appropriate. The following terms were used to give as broadrange of studies as possible: ,,osteoporosisâ€, ,,bone densityâ€, ,,bone massâ€,,,physical exerciseâ€, ,,strength trainingâ€, ,,osteoblastâ€, ,,osteoclastâ€, ,,bonephysiologyâ€. Results: We limited the search to the following study designs:controlled clinical trials, guidelines, meta-analyses, systematic reviewsand randomised controlled trials. Of all the articles found, we selected 98 scientific articles from which we selected the most conclusive information.Conclusion: In conclusion, we recommend practicing physical exercisesfrom childhood, since numerous studies carried out in young, adults and inthe elderly demonstrate the beneficial effects of physical exercise on bonecells, especially on osteoblasts

SELF-ESTEEM IN ONLINE DATING
Get PDFThe current study identifies the possible implications of using online dating platforms interms of self-esteem and exposure to the online environment. It also wants to capture possibledifferences between people who use this type of platform and those who do not. The participantsin the study were 584, aged between 18 and 30 years. As tools, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale,Real Me Scale and Online Dating Inventory were used. All of these tools have been introducedinto Google Forms and distributed online. Following the study, we identified that there aredifferences between those who use online dating platforms and those who do not, when it comesto the level of self-esteem and the degree of self-expression in the online environment. Moreover,a link was found between the level of self-esteem and the degree of revelation of the "true self" inthe virtual environment
POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS OF THE BIOCHAR OBTAINED FROM SEWAGE SLUDGE
Get PDFThe present review has in attention the valorisation of the sewage sledge from the wastewater treatmentplants, as this represents a major concern for the public health and the environment. Its processing for the obtaining ofthe sludge-based biochar can be further used for the removal of some pollutants from the environment. The possibility touse the sludge-based biochar for the removal of heavy metals and of organic pollutants is presented
The Role of Technique in Improving the Performance of Junior Swimmers
Get PDFAim. Establishing a model of training as well as the judicious use of themost effective methods and means specific to and non-specific to swimmingshould lead to: - appropriate appropriation from the technical point of viewof the 4 swimming procedures; - increasing the minimum driving qualities;- demonstrate the validity and applicability of methods used to follow thedevelopment of qualitative motor skills; Methods. In the general tendencyto objectively human actions, there is also the need to rationalize the exercisesused in training, hence the name „rationalization of effort on areas ofintensityâ€. With these tests we tracked and scored with grades from 1 to 10of the crawl technique and recorded the performance of athletes in the 50mfree sample. The repetitions were performed on distances of 12.5m, 25m ina maximum of 8 repetitions. The usual statistical indicators were used: arithmeticaverage, amplitude, standard deviation and coefficient of variability.Results. Performance dynamics for 50m - arithmetic average, global, analyzingthe entire period of research, reveals that the greatest leap in the resultsis between the second and the third tests (Init.T.= 40,47±4,38 sec and at theFin. T. = 37,82±2,38 sec with a Dif. = 2,65 sec). Conclusions. Evaluationof technical performance. In addition to physical training under the trainingplan, special emphasis has been put on technical training, which at this agehas a primordial role, knowing that incorrectly acquired skills, hardly or notat all, can be corrected later. The results obtained in the tests carried out haveimproved continuously, and finally the progress is obvious
THE PLACE OF OUTDOOR LEARNING ACTIVITIES IN THE ROMANIAN CORE PROCUREMENT CURRICULUM
No full textThe educational systems are in search of teaching learning strategies that can make every day learning more efficient. Outdoor education is one of the modern strategies that was introduced in the daily routines of pupils, leading to behavioral changes and competency acquirements. In the Romanian educational systems, outdoor education can be found in the official educational documents and some teachers have introduced it in their daily routines. Still there are some questions about the theoretical and the practical place that it takes in the learning process. This research, is a brief analysis on the elements that can be found in the scholar curriculum, and belong to the outdoor educational field, at the core procurement level. The results are important because of the impact that is has on the educational practices at the level of the classroom. Teachers interested in this area can observe that the curriculum that is used in the Romanian schools supports outdoor education as a practice at all levels, especially at the core procurement level
Reading Fiction Works by Teachers - Loisir (Leisure) and Necessity: doi>10.24250/JPE/1/2020/LIC/MN
No full textThe benefits of reading fiction are today unquestionable. Numerous studies show this. Reading fiction can be a form of therapy, a special way to meet and understand others, to develop the empathy, to improve thinking and creativity, to avoid / release stress, to risk less to suffer Alzheimer’s disease, to open one’s mind, to improve capacity of communication, to feel happier, to be more informed, to learn more and more.
The extent to which these things happen is variable. What is appropriate for an IT guy or for a lawyer is not usually/necessarily suitable for a teacher.
The present article aims to provide some benchmarks regarding books that every teacher should read. At the same time, we will present a taxonomy and an example of the works that a teacher is due to read, both to guide the career beginner to organize their reading, and for those tempted to become teachers

EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND SYNDROME OF OCCUPATIONAL BURNOUT IN ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF OF HEALTHCARE UNITS: doi>10.24250/JPE/1/2020/SP/MS/ET
No full textOccupational burnout is particularly common in healthcare staff and is closely related to the quality of services provided. Most relevant researches mainly focus on health professionals, bypassing the administrative staff of healthcare units. However, administrative staff plays a key role for the efficiency of healthcare services, and therefore the occupational burnout of administrative staff negatively affects the organization and quality of the provided healthcare services, as patients may not receive proper care. The occupational burnout of administrative staff is a crucial and important issue and is worthy of study, because the new knowledge that will be acquired can be used in the design of training interventions regarding prevention and treatment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the phenomenon of occupational burnout of administrative staff in healthcare units with emphasis on the experience and needs, especially educational needs, of participants concerning the prevention and treatment of the problem. A qualitative methodology was used with semi-structured interviews with the administrative staff of Ippokrateio General Hospital of Thessaloniki. The main issues that emerged from the analysis of the interviews are: “fatigue†(physical and mental) and “working conditions†(organizational issues, communication) which are related to the experience, but also to the causes of occupational burnout, “work efficiency†related to the consequences of occupational burnout. The topic of “educational needs†is present in most of the participants’ responses, but is most prominent in those that mention the organizational and management needs of employees, both individually and collectively, as the dominant factor in addressing the problem of occupational burnout.
