This study aimed to identify performance indicators that discriminate winning and losing in elite men's and women's Rugby Union during the latest World Cup competitions. The knockout stages of the ...men's 2015 Rugby World Cup (n = 8) and women's 2014 Rugby World Cup (n = 8) were compared. Findings suggest that in the men's game, winning teams kicked a greater percentage of possession in the opposition 22-50 m with a view to gaining territory and pressuring the opposition (winners = 16%, losers = 7%). In the women's game successful teams adopted a more possession-driven attacking approach in this area of the pitch. Successful women's teams appear more willing to attack with ball in hand following a kick receipt and adopt a more expansive game through attacking with wider carries in the outside channels. The percentage of lineouts won on the opposition ball was found to be an important performance indicator that discriminates winners and losers, regardless of sex (winners = 18%, losers = 11%). Findings suggest successful men's and women's teams adopt different tactical approaches to knockout competitions, this knowledge should be used as a basis for coaches to develop tactical approaches and training methods which are sex dependent.
The question of how games should be taught is still a controversial subject. There has been a growing number of studies on teaching games and coaching sports since the first publication of Bunker and ...Thorpe on Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU). In this sense, the present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to systematically review the scientific literature about the effects of technical and tactical approach interventions on skill execution and decision making, and to examine the influence of the teacher/coach management style. A systematic literature search was carried out in accordance with PRISMA guidelines in Web of Science (WOS), PubMed (Medline), Scopus, and SportDiscus electronic databases. A total of seven and six studies were deemed to meet the inclusion criteria for decision making and skill execution, respectively. Meta-analysis results showed that tactical interventions achieved significant improvements in decision making (effect size = 0.89 with 95% confidence interval (CI) from 0.12 to 1.65), but they did not show significant improvements in skill execution (effect size = 0.89 with 95% CI from -0.45 to 2.23) compared to technical approaches. However, the heterogeneity of interventions was large and the quality of evidence was low according to GRADE. In conclusion, tactical approaches are recommended to teach games and sports in order to develop technique, understanding, tactical knowledge, and decision making, which are demanded in game play. These findings could be useful for teachers and coaches to improve these aspects of their players and students.
Background. The study is devoted to improving the medical and social effectiveness of the Privileged Dental Prosthetics Program for certain categories of citizens in the Republic of Tatarstan. Aim. ...The aim of the study was to develop new tactical approaches to implement a targeted program of dental prosthetics for certain groups of the population in the Republic of Tatarstan in the complete absence of teeth aimed at the introduction of modern treatment technologies.Material and methods. We applied a complex method using: method of expert evaluation of the Program of free dental prosthetics in the Republic of Tatarstan, method of organizational modeling for the development of new tactical approaches in the implementation of the Program, method of statistical cost prediction in comparing three approaches to dentures for edentulous mandibles at the expense of the Program. Analysis of aggregate data obtained in the calculation of the comparative economic efficiency of the traditional method, the use of dental implant quota and the introduction of the number of applications for the fabrication of a complete removable denture in persons over 60 years in the mediumterm forecast of 10 years was conducted. Statistical processing was performed in MS Windows software. Results and discussion. At the level of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Tatarstan, when implementing the additional MHI program of free denture prosthetics for certain categories of citizens, tactical approaches have been introduced, implying a frequency of visits with complete removable prosthetics – once every three years, according to the service life of the prosthesis. Every year since 2015, an order has been issued by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Tatarstan. Saving funds of the Program for this section of dental prosthetics reaches more than 8,8 million rubles (67%) per year. Rational use of the funds of the compulsory medical insurance program makes it possible to manufacture modern constructions with the use of dental implantation in 200 people a year. Conclusion. The developed tactical approaches of using the funds of the Territorial Program of Compulsory Medical Insurance for free dental prosthetics in the Republic of Tatarstan serve as a reserve for the introduction of modern technologies of treatment with the use of dental implants on edentulous jaws.

Le diagnostic des fièvres prolongées inexpliquées est un défi majeur pour l’interniste, illustré par le taux d’échecs actuel qui dépasse 30 %, malgré les progrès de la technologie médicale. De ...nombreuses clés diagnostiques sont disponibles dans les données cliniques et biologiques standard, dont une meilleure exploitation pourrait améliorer le score diagnostique.
L’intuition et la méthode hypothéticodéductive qui sont les deux stratégies cliniques les plus utilisées, sont perfectibles. Les prérequis sont d’aimer le jeu de la clinique, d’avoir une expérience étendue au lit du malade, d’avoir confiance dans sa propre expertise de la sémiologie, de faire un large emprunt aux heuristiques et d’appliquer avec discernement le principe du rasoir d’Occam. Les habitudes de prescription des tests biologiques doivent être révisées : les tests sérologiques et immunologiques ont un intérêt limité ; les tests biologiques standard recèlent de nombreuses clés insuffisamment exploitées comme la valeur d’une thrombopénie dans un contexte inflammatoire, du comptage systématique des cellules hyperbasophiles, des grands lymphocytes granuleux, la valeur d’une éosinopénie, d’un taux de LDH très élevé… L’imagerie doit faire appel en premier lieu au scanner corps entier, précédé par une radiographie pulmonaire et une échographie abdominale ; le choix ultérieur dépend des objectifs : scintigraphie aux leucocytes marqués en cas de présomption de suppuration profonde ; 18-FDG PET scan en cas de recherche d’inflammation dans les tissus, les ganglions ou les artères ; enfin la recherche du meilleur site à biopsier qui permet d’établir le diagnostic dans 25 à 30 % des cas doit être précoce, guidée par les données cliniques, biologiques et radiologiques.
La stratégie et les techniques diagnostiques des fièvres prolongées inexpliquées doivent reposer sur la recherche de clés diagnostiques ; l’expérience, l’entraînement répété au lit du malade sont des préalables essentiels ; les examens de laboratoire recèlent de nombreuses clés nécessitant une exploitation plus approfondie ; le choix de l’imagerie dépend des objectifs ; la recherche précoce du meilleur site à biopsier est essentielle.
Diagnosis of fever of unknown origin (FUO) is a major challenge for internists, as emphasized by the high rate of diagnostic failure, despite the fast-moving progress in medical technology. Numerous clues are available in clinical and standard biological data; a better use of the available tests is warranted.
Improvement in diagnostic accuracy might be expected by developing strategies targeted toward a more systematic search of diagnosis clues. Intuition and the hypothetic – deductive method that are the most common clinical strategies are the most perfectible. It implies to enjoy the fun of clinical examination, to have a large experience in bedside training, to be confident in his/her own semiological skills, to refer frequently to heuristics, and to use carefully Occam's razor principle. Laboratory tests might be revisited; immunological and serological tests are of little value; standard biological tests provide many insufficiently exploited clues. Imaging procedures depend on objectives: whole body CT scan should be performed early within the first days of hospitalisation, preceded by standard chest radiograph and abdomen ultrasonography; followed by either indium-111 or technetium-99m, labelled leukocytes if deep abscesses are suspected or 18-FDG PET scan in the case of suspected inflammatory disease involving tissues, lymph nodes or arteries. Early identification of the best tissue to be the site of biopsy is one of the most decisive procedures.
Strategies and tactical approaches for the diagnosis of FUO might be driven by the search of significant clues. Self-clinical experience driven by a wide bedside training is of major concern. Standard laboratory tests might be better used and the choice of imaging depends on objectives. Identification of the most appropriate tissue to be sampled for histological examination is one of the most beneficial step.

Many Digital Signal Processing (DSP) applications and electronic gadgets today require digital filtering. Different optimization algorithms have been used to obtain fast and improved results. Several ...researchers have used Enhanced Slime Mould Algorithm for designing the 2D IIR filter. However, it is observed that the Enhanced Slime Mould Algorithm did not achieve a better solution structure and had a slower convergence rate. In order to overcome the issue a fused ESMA-pelican Optimization Algorithm (FEPOA) is utilized for designing the 2D IIR filter which incorporates the pelican Optimization Algorithm with the Enhanced slime Mould Algorithm (ESMA). At first, the Chaotic Approach is utilized to initialize the population which provides the high-quality population with excellent population diversity, after that the position of population members is to identify and correct the individual in the boundary search region. After that, by the pelican Tactical Approach is to examine the search space and exploration power of the FEPOA, then the Fitness is calculated randomly, and the best solution will be upgraded and then moved towards the iterations. It repeats the FEPOA phases until the execution completes. Then the best solution gives the optimal solution, which enhances the speed of convergence, convergence accuracy and the performances of FEPOA. The FEPOA is then implemented in the IIR filter to improve the overall filter design. The results provided by FEPOA accomplish the necessary fitness and best solution for 200 iterations, and the amplitude response will achieve the maximum value for =2,4,8 as well as the execution time of 3.0158s, which is much quicker than the other Genetic Algorithms often used for 2D IIR filters.
