The article discusses the mobile training and self-propelled training stand M120K RAK cal. 120 mm. The 120 mm RAK self-propelled mortar is the primary fire agent of a support company, intended for indirect, indirect and direct fire shooting as part of the destruction of enemy objects. Modern technology allows for a realistic reflection of the battlefield image through modern training and training measures, and thanks to the use of a mobile training and training station in the construction and operation of weapons and military equipment, learn about the general characteristics and purpose of the new equipment.

Technological advancement is steadily reshaping the field of medical education. In histopathology and especially dermatopathology training, the transition from glass slide microscopy (GSM) to virtual microscopy (VM) is serving as an instructional tool for medical students, residents, fellows, and experienced physicians. Online slide atlases and digitalized content are being utilized by educators and trainees to enhance and assess both individual and collaborative learning. With the expansion of mobile technology, new avenues are emerging for image attainment, in addition to remote instruction and consultation in resource-limited areas. Various computer-based applications (“apps”) and social media sites also serve as digital assets in education and training and allow for rapid dissemination and sharing of information around the world.

The study aims at identifying the role of technical education and training in meeting the labor market’s needs in the field of modern technology. It is an applied study on the technical colleges in Gaza Strip. The researchers used the descriptive analytical approach on five technical colleges in Gaza by applying the questionnaire as the data collection tool. The stratified random sampling method was applied and the sample of the study included 324 respondents with a recovery rate of 76%. The data was analyzed using SPSS statistical program. One of the most important results was a statistically significant correlation between the dimensions of education and technical training: Technical trainee skill, technical trainer skill, the efficiency of the training curriculum, the modernity of the applied means used; and meeting the labor market needs in the field of modern technology in Gaza Strip technical colleges

Maritime safety is an ongoing process in shipping that is constantly being improved by the modernization of equipment and constant improvements in operators’ safety procedures and training. However, human error remains a significant factor in maritime accidents, as it contributes to 75% of incidents. Addressing this problem, the current paper shows a proof of principal for on-board fire monitoring and extinguishing software agents that may be used to upgrade present systems and contribute to an autonomous ship design. Agent technology that engages fire detection and firefighting equipment while minimizing human intervention will reduce the risks of human error and increase maritime safety.

Abstract The passing of knowledge from generation to generation has been the basis of human existence upon which civilisations have been built and expanded and a process that has accelerated with the use of modern technology. Horticulture is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, forms of knowledge gathering in the arts and sciences. It therefore follows that horticulture was one of the earliest civilising influences in mankind's history (Dixon, 2016). Horticultural skills were essential in early settlements during the dawn of agriculture, for food production and security and also for a wider range of plant materials that enhanced everyday life and contributed to industry. Horticultural knowledge and training has existed for some 10,000 to 20,000 years, with the skills of its practitioners demonstrated through advancing civilisations in both eastern and western countries (Aldous et al., 2014). The first processes in horticultural knowledge transfer were simply informal instruction of how to cultivate soil, grow and harvest crops, which were passed from parent to child and within the members of early societies. Historically gardening has been an integral part of a child's life and played a significant role in how and what they learnt (Relf and Lohr, 2003). These early instructional lessons allowed the passage of knowledge and practical cultivation skills and associated industries such as the manufacture of gardening tools, processing of crops and long-term storage methods.

In order to ease the contradiction between the more and more need with each passing day of seafarers in the talented-person service market and delayed high-ranked seafarers being well-trained, and meanwhile, to provide the vast graduates one more opportunity to get a job who had not accepted relevant marine training and education, a new vocational education mode, which is high-rank seafarer vocational education training for non-marine major graduates, was proposed by Maritime Safety Administration of China. This paper will fully describe and comprehensively analyse this new vocational education mode, combining the characteristics of college graduates with non-marine education and training, The differences and similarities in aspect of educational background,age and English level, etc between non-marine major graduates and marine major graduates will be analysed and the concrete high rank seafarer vocational education mode for non-marine major graduates was proposed in this paper.

The number of SMEs is creasing in our country tremendously. But most of these cannot run for a long time because the SME entrepreneurs have no enough knowledge to manage every activity related to their business. Besides, some of them can hardly utilize their money and resources properly. So, the capacity of the SME employee and entrepreneurs should be built through providing demand-based training. SME Foundation plays an important role by arranging different training programs in all over the country. The main objective of this study is to discuss the role of capacity building program for the development of institutional as well as individual capacity in the SME sector. The limitations identified in this study such as, problems in the types, duration, and training place disrupt the smooth activity of the training program. Besides, lack of specialized trainers, small number of training programs and lack of modern technology are also identified in this study. The study the suggest recommendation to overcome the barriers to develop capacity in SME sector.

The aim of the study was to identify the reality of the employment of distance education due to corona disease in private Kuwaiti schools from the principals perspective. To achieve this study, the descriptive approach was used، where a questionnaire was developed, consisting of three areas (knowledge، skills، and evaluation) with 20 paragraphs, and its validity and stability was verified, and then it was distributed on the sample of the study which was consisted of (140) principals. The result of the study showed the reality of the employment of the distance education due to corona disease in the private Kuwaiti schools from the principals perspective, was middle and with an average arithmetic (2.49). The results also showed significant differences in the evaluations of the study’s sample members for The reality of the employment of the distance education due to corona disease from the principals perspective according to the gender variable in favor of females, and no significant differences in the evaluations of the study’s sample members for The reality of the employment of the distance education due to corona disease from the principals perspective according to the School stage.

Education and training are essential parts of institutional efforts to ensure a safer maritime environment. The contemporary well-indicated trend shows that improvement of maritime safety and security is efficient in a virtual environment using simulations in training process. Simulations should be as much realistic as it is possible in order to increase benefits of training fulfilling IMO regulations and rules of national maritime authorities. Shipborne Simplified Voyage Data Recorders (S-VDRs) need to follow strict requirements of IMO regulations. Maritime safety committee`s resolutions concern the adoption of revised performance standards that are applicable in the training process. Standardized specialized data related to the ship`s safety that are gathered and stored in regard to competent investigation authorities would be useful for improvement trainees` practical skills and knowledge in advance.
