Purpose: The purpose of our research is to determine, on the basis of mathematical processing of the experimental results, the most informative functional test, which makes it possible with a greater degree of reliability to assess the state of the vestibular apparatus and the presence of deviations in the work of the nervous system of students of higher educational institutions, and thereby recommend it for use in the practice of physical education in higher educational institutions. Results: Data analysis of the ascertaining experiment for evaluation of the condition of the vestibular system and possible nervous system disorder of the undergraduates shows a significant difference in functional test indicators which makes it necessary to choose the most informative one. Considering the comparison of the test results according to the normal distribution law and further calculation of variation coefficient of the received data it was defined that Romberg test example assuming to hold the balance standing on one leg with eyes closed with hands upwards is the most informative test allowing to more exactly define the condition of the vestibular system and nervous system of the undergraduates. Conclusion: Practical application of functional tests in physical training of students and interpretation of received data regarding the actual biological age of students allows us to actualize their need in physical activity increase. Herewith it is necessary to rely on results of the most informative functional tests, which do not require the application of complex measuring equipment and are quite simple in calculation of results.

The purpose of the study is to determine the age-related peculiarities of functional and motor preparedness of students of higher educational institutions. Materials and methods. The study participants were first-year (n=67), second-year (n=66), third-year (n=62), fourth-year (n=45), fifth-year (n=56) male students. The following research methods were used to solve the tasks set: analysis of scientific literature, pedagogical observation, pedagogical testing; index method and medical-biological methods. Pedagogical methods were used to study the peculiarities of functional state of the body and motor abilities of the 1st-5th year students of higher educational institutions; discriminant analysis was used for data processing. Results. There was no statistically significant difference between the 1st-5th year students by the results of test 5 “100 m run”, test 6 “Standing long jump”. The third-year students had the worst results in functional tests and Romberg’s test. The third-year students had the best results in test 7 “Arms’ bending and straightening in a hanging position”. Conclusions. Discriminant analysis made it possible to reveal that the third year of study is the most problematic period in students’ physical education; to answer the question as to the significance of difference between the 1st-5th year students by the level of motor and functional preparedness; to define what indicators most significantly influence the differences between the students’ preparedness; what class the object belongs to based on the values of discriminant variables. The discriminant function structure coefficients show that the most significant difference between the test results of the students in different years of study is observed in coordination preparedness.

In the last few years, the way we learn has been shifted dramatically from traditional classrooms depending on printed papers into E-learning depending on digital pages. Mobile learning (M-learning) is a recent technology that has been developed rapidly to deliver E-learning using personal mobile devices without posing any restrictions on time and location. In this work, we investigate students and faculty members’ attitudes towards the use of M-learning in higher educational institutions within two countries in the Gulf Region (Oman & UAE). Two questionnaire surveys have been conducted: one for students and another for faculty members. In these surveys, 383 students and 54 instructors have taken part within the study. An independent sample t-test was performed to examine whether there exist a significant difference among the students’ attitudes and the faculty members’ attitudes towards the use of M-learning with regard to gender and country. Results indicated that students in the UAE were more positive towards the use of M-learning than those in Oman. Moreover, results revealed that 99% of the students own mobile devices, in particular smartphones and tablets, while only 1% has not. Results of this study could help policy makers for better decision making in building the M-learning infrastructure in the higher educational institutions in general and specifically within the Arab Gulf region.

A sound HRM system can be generated through the effective HRM practices. HRM practices refer to all activities that are directed towards the management of human resources and the employment of the resources for fulfillment of desired organizational objectives. Job satisfaction “as summation of employees feelings in four important areas namely, job, management, personal adjustment and social relations”. The present study was conducted on 526 faculty members randomly drawn of Government and Private affiliated higher educational institutions of India using questionnaire method. The results indicates that faculty member of government higher educational institutes has a moderate level of satisfaction with the overall HRM practices. Employees were more satisfied with training, teamwork and employee participation and satisfied to small extent with performance appraisal and compensations. The study also revealed that there is no significant difference between the government and private educational institution’s faculty scores on all HRM practices. A significant positive correlation has been obtained among the job satisfaction with the dimensions of the human resources management in both government and private higher educational institution’s faculty members.

Introduction. The important factors affecting health and performance of young people are the conditions of education, in particular, a comfortable microclimate in the classrooms of higher educational institutions. Materials and methods. In view of the urgency of this problem, an analysis was made of the microclimate parameters of educational organizations of different profiles (Ufa city, the Republic of Bashkortostan). 294 classrooms were studied in 22 buildings of 4 leading universities in Ufa. A total of 3,822 measurements were taken to determine the parameters of the microclimate. The analysis of ionizing radiation in the aerial environment of classrooms. There was performed determination of radon and its affiliated products content. In order to assess the conditions and lifestyle of students of 4 higher educational institutions of the city of Ufa, we conducted an anonymous survey of 1,820 students of I and IV years of education. Results. The average temperature in the classrooms of all universities studied was 23.9±0.09 C. The average relative humidity in all classrooms was 34.2 ± 0.42%. Analysis of ionizing radiation (radon and its daughter products decay) in the aerial environment of the classrooms and sports halls located in the basement determined that the average annual equivalent equilibrium volumetric activity of the radon daughter products (EROA ± Δ222Rn) ranged from 28 ± 14 to 69 ± 34.5 meter, which meets the requirements established by SanPiN. Conclusion. The hygienic assessment of the microclimate parameters of educational institutions of various profile revealed a number of deviations from the regulated norms. The results indicate the need to control the parameters of the microclimate, both from the administration of universities, and from the professors. According to the results of the study, recommendations were prepared for the management of higher educational institutions in Ufa.
