Correlation of the coach's qualities and junior athletes' self-efficacy
2023
The purpose is to examine correlations between the coach's personal and professional qualities and junior athletes with different levels of self-efficacy (n=103). Methods: correlation and cluster analyses, valid psycho-diagnostic methods, coefficients for establishing statistical significance. Results. Self-efficacy was studied as a factor of successfulness in sporting activities and an indispensable component of professional training for junior athletes. The meaning of \"subject activity\" (SA) and \"interpersonal communication\" (IC) as components of junior athletes' self-efficacy was examined. A statistically significant correlation (p<.05; p<.01) of the coach's qualities and SA (t = -11.905; p=.000) and IC (t = -2.222; p=.040) was established. There were statistically significant differences in manifestation of self-efficacy of the junior athletes in Group 1 and Group 2 by scale SA (t = -11.905; p=.000); Group I and Group II by scale IC (t = -2.222, p=040). The research shows that athletes' evaluation of the coach's personal and professional qualities is an important factor in the formation of self-efficacy both in the area of \"subject activity\" and in the area \"interpersonal communication\". Junior athletes with a high level of self-efficacy by the criterion SA (Group 1) and IC (Group I) evaluate the coach's personal and professional qualities at a high level by the following parameters: the gnostic parameter (M!=5.78±.66; M2=5.00±.866); the emotional parameter (Mi=6.22±1.98; M2=7.33±.707); the behavioral parameter (Mi=6.56±l .59; M2=6.8±l .33). Junior athletes with a low level of self-efficacy by the criterion SA (Group 2) and IC (Group II) evaluated the coach's role in their success in the following way: the gnostic parameter (M!=3.64±.505; M2=4.27±.1.42); the emotional parameter (1^=5.22*1.37; M2=4.18±.603); the behavioral parameter (Mi=5.0±1.48; M2=4.64±.1.12). Pearson's (R) correlation analysis allowed finding that evaluation of the coach's professional qualities (R= 259; p<.01) and relationships between junior athletes and the coach (R=.178; p<.05) are important for the formation of self-efficacy related to sport qualification upgrading SA. The development of self-efficacy related to interpersonal communication IC depends on affection for the coach's personality (R=.301; p<.01) and real relationships between junior athletes and the coach (R=.261; p<.01). Conclusions. It is generalized that the understanding of the role of the coach's personal and professional qualities in increasing self-efficacy will contribute to better organization of sports pedagogical process, the development of skills in mutual constructive activity for achieving high sport results. Research on relationships \"coach-athletes\" is considered to be promising in the context of improving the coach's qualification and the formation of \"team self-efficacy\" in young athletes.

Neutrophils form neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) of decondensed DNA and histones that trap and immobilize particulate matter and microbial pathogens like bacteria. NET aggregates reportedly surround and isolate large objects like monosodium urate crystals, which cannot be sufficiently cleared from tissues. In the setting of acute necrotizing pancreatitis, massive tissue necrosis occurs, which is organized as pancreatic pseudocysts (1). In contrast to regular cysts, these pseudocysts are not surrounded by epithelial layers. We hypothesize that, instead, the necrotic areas observed in necrotizing pancreatitis are isolated from the surrounding healthy tissues by aggregated NETs. These may form an alternative, putatively transient barrier, separating necrotic areas from viable tissue. To test this hypothesis, we investigated histological samples from the necropsy material of internal organs of two patients with necrotizing pancreatitis and peritonitis accompanied by multiple organ failure. Tissues including the inflammatory zone were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and evaluated for signs of inflammation. Infiltrating neutrophils and NETs were detected by immunohistochemistry for DNA, neutrophil elastase (NE), and citrullinated histone H3. Interestingly, in severely affected areas of pancreatic necrosis or peritonitis, chromatin stained positive for NE and citrullinated histone H3, and may, therefore, be considered NET-derived. These NET structures formed a layer, which separated the necrotic core from the areas of viable tissue remains. A condensed layer of aggregated NETs, thus, spatially shields and isolates the site of necrosis, thereby limiting the spread of necrosis-associated proinflammatory mediators. We propose that necrotic debris may initiate and/or facilitate the formation of the NET-based surrogate barrier.

In current paper, we have researched the influence of environmental policy stringency (EPS) on economic development of the EU-28. The problem of identifying the influence of stringency of environmental policy (EP) on economic development of the EU-28 is that currently there is no well-established understanding of what economic results can be achieved depending on the extent of EPS within a separate country. The paper aims at making contribution to theoretical, empirical and political scopes of perception of EP as an independent factor of economic development of the EU-28. The results of research indicate that EPS is significant factor of economic development of the EU countries.
