High Altitude Disease

High altitude pulmonary Edema (HAPE) is a severe form of high-altitude disease that, if left untreated, can result in death in up to half of those who are affected. Lowlanders who rapidly go to elevations more than 2500-3000 m are more likely to develop high altitude pulmonary Edema (HAPE). Individual sensitivity owing to a low hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR), quick pace of climb, male sex, usage of sleep medicine, high salt consumption, chilly ambient temperature, and intense physical effort are all risk factors. HAPE may be totally and quickly reversed if caught early and correctly treated. Slow climb is the most effective technique of prevention. A fall of at least 1000 meters, is the best and most certain treatment choice in HAPE. Supplemental oxygen, portable hyperbaric chambers, and pulmonary vasodilator medications (nifedipine and phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors) may be beneficial. In this article we’ll be looking at the disease etiology, epidemiology, diagnosis and management.

Considerable Pressure

Following initiations in educational reform that began in the 1990s, Hong Kong continues to experience considerable pressure for educational reform. On the surface many of these initiatives parallel reform policies/movements in Asia and indeed, globally. The success of any reform is dependent on how it is contextualised prior to and at implementation. In this article, an exploration is made into how reforms in four particular sareas, namely: professional development of principals, higher education, English language standards, and inclusion of students with learning difficulties have been conceived, contextualised and managed in Hong Kong, as it moves gradually toward increased adoption of education reforms. These areas are linked in that each describes and critiques contextualization with reference to areas such as accountability, co-operation and professional control.

Successful Teaching

The paper analyzes the problems and prospects of the development of the system of advanced professional training in tourism. One of the problems of the tourism industry, which is closely related to the activities of specialized educational institutions, is the disparity between the nature of demand and supply in the labor market industry. The necessity of improving the system of vocational education and the transition to a practice-oriented teaching, the development of new educational programs for advanced professional training and the introduction of new teaching methods are substantiated. The main problems to be solved in the system of advanced professional training in tourism are revealed. It is noted that advanced professional training in tourism for teachers will establish a system of continuing education, enabling them to learn new technologies and skills needed to manage a successful teaching in the present conditions, and to enhance students’ employability and subsequent successful career in tourism.

The article analyzes current trends in the digital transformation of education in order to train personnel for the digital economy. The article considers the impact of digitalization on modern school and University education and analyzes its positive and negative aspects for the modern educational environment. It is shown how the rapid change in teaching methods and forms during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak led to the accumulation of experience in virtual contacts between teachers and students, as well as between students. The advantages of personification and personalization of the educational process are presented. The idea of creating educational clusters as a new model for integrating education and business is analyzed. Attention is paid to the features of training of generations Z and Alpha.

The present study attempts to identify the difficulties of teaching and learning geology in Moroccan secondary qualifying classes. Teachers of the Life Sciences and Earth Sciences and their pupils at the Inzegane Ait Melloul delegation were administered questionnaires. Based on the analysis of the themes taught and the typologies of obstacles evoked, a bibliographic synthesis allowed us to list the notions which are likely to pose the difficulties presumed in geology. Thus, 23 open and closed questions were distributed to seven teachers. Also, ten questions were distributed to students. The results showed that both pupils and teachers experience several difficulties in the teaching and learning of geology. Thus, the various means of continuing education in geology which are made available to teachers were disqualified. It involves only a minority of them. This is in addition to the complexity of the geological content and the insufficiency of its hourly volume. The excessive number of pupils causes the classes to be overloaded, in which the weak prerequisite is added in the geology of these pupils. The difficulties of learning geology are largely related to the relationship that this discipline maintains with space and long time. This, therefore, make it difficult for pupils to understand several complex geological phenomena. The ineffectiveness of teaching methods tailored to the classroom by teachers, the absence, failure or lack of mobilization of teaching and ICT resources, inadequacy or absence of field trips, and the manipulations and negligence of scientific modeling in majority of the classes surveyed influences the learning of geology as well as the students' interest in these courses. This makes it a boring and unwelcome matter for most students.
