The indicators of game activity in basketball 3x3
No full textThe development of modern sports generates new non-traditional species. Over the past fifteen years, basketball 3x3 is gaining popularity on the territory of independent Ukraine. Due to the rapid development and great popularity among 3x3 basketball players there is a need for scientific substantiation of approaches in preparing players for competitions. The purpose of the study is to determine the performance indicators of basketball 3x3 and determine their impact on the effectiveness of various throws in the basket. Material and methods of research. During the study, the following methods were used: 1) analysis of scientific, methodical literature and Internet sources, 2) pedagogical observation of the competitive activity of Ukrainian athletes, 3) methods of statistical processing of results. Results: the average effectiveness of free throws was set at 65.85 %, 2 points shot - 22.53 %, 1-point rolls - 52.59 %. The average duration of passive phases is 34.93±1.26 % of the total time of participation in the game. According to A.Yu. Melnik was determined by the intensity of the games, which were investigated, at the level of 0.21±0.03 c. units, which corresponds to 3 levels of tension. Conclusions: The problem analysis of gaming activity in basketball 3x3 is still a one of topical area of scientific research. It is established that the intensity of the game has an average correlation with the effectiveness of performing 2-point shots in the basket, and the duration of the passive game phases has little effect on the effectiveness of execution of free throws
A cross-cultural comparison of visual search strategies and response times in road hazard perception testing
No full textRoad hazard perception is considered the most prominent higher-order cognitive skill related to traffic-accident
involvement. Regional cultures and social rules that govern acceptable behavior may influence drivers’ interpretation
of a traffic situation and, consequently, the correct identification of potentially hazardous situations.
Here, we aimed to compare hazard perception skills among four European countries that differ in their traffic
culture, policies to reduce traffic risks, and fatal crashes: Ukraine, Italy, Spain, and Sweden. We developed a
static hazard perception test in which driving scenes with different levels of braking affordance were presented
while drivers’ gaze was recorded. The test required drivers to indicate the action they would undertake: to brake
vs. to keep driving. We assessed 218 young adult drivers. Multilevel models revealed that the scenes’ levels of
braking affordance (i.e., road hazard) modulated drivers’ behavior. As the levels of braking affordance increased,
drivers’ responses became faster and their gaze entropy decreased (i.e., visual search strategy became less
erratic). The country of origin influenced these effects. Ukrainian drivers were the fastest and Swedish drivers
were the slowest to respond. For all countries, the decrement in response times was less marked in the case of
experienced drivers. Also, Spanish drivers showed the most structured (least erratic) visual search strategy,
whereas the Italians had the most rigid (most constant) one. These results suggest that road hazard perception
can be defined cross-culturally, with cultural factors (e.g., traffic climate, legislation) modulating response times
and visual search strategies. Our results also support the idea that a multimodal assessment methodology is
possible for mass testing of road hazard perception and its outcomes would be relevant to understand how
different traffic cultures shape driving behavior
Two-dimensional growth, anisotropic polaron transport, and magnetic phase segregation in epitaxial Nd0.52Sr0.48MnO3 films
No full textNd0.52Sr0.48MnO3 films have been fabricated by dc magnetron sputtering on single-crystal LaAlO3 (001) and SrTiO3 (011) substrates with additional annealing to relax the lattice strain. Although the Nd0.52Sr0.48MnO3 films were deposited simultaneously on different substrates at the same deposition rate, they differ in thickness by a factor of ? . The observed difference in thickness is explained by the two-dimensional (layer-by-layer) film growth, rather than by a difference in growth rate controlled by the crystalline orientation of the substrate. An analysis of optical and transport properties reveals that the observed anisotropy in the polaron motion is governed by a strong anisotropy in the trapping energy, rather than in polaron formation. It is shown that the deposited Nd0.52Sr0.48MnO3 films exhibit magnetic behavior typical of two-phase magnetic systems and should be regarded as an assembly of interacting magnetic clusters.Applied Science

No full textKinetic models of photosystem II should accommodate the effect of donor side quenching on variable chlorophyll a fluorescence in the microseconds time
No full textQuantitative data on laser flash-induced variable fluorescence in the 100 ns to 1 ms time range (Belyaeva et al. in Photosynth Res 98:105–119, 2008) confirming those of others (Steffen et al. in Biochemistry 40:173–180, 2001, Biochemistry 44:3123–3132, 2005; Belyaeva et al. in Biophysics 51(6):976–990, 2006), need a substantial correction with respect to magnitude of the normalized variable fluorescence associated with single turnover-induced charge separation in RCs of PS II. Their data are conclusive with the involvement of donor side quenching, the release of which occurs with a rate constant in the range of tens of ms-1, and presumed to be associated with reduction of YZ+ by the OE
