“…The researchers note that reduction of motor functioning negatively influence on students' physical condition, physical fitness and functional state [21,22]. In this connection importance of students' health protection and strengthening is increasing [28,31,32,33,35].…”

Abstract. Purpose: to determine influence of information technologies in sport-oriented physical education on technical fitness of students, practicing football indoors. Material: in the researches students (boys -n=40) of 18-20 years' age participated. Standard tests on physical condition were used. For determination of motor skills and abilities we used: juggling with ball; kick in pre-set sector of goal; shuttle run 4 х 10 meters with dribbling; kick for distance. Results: structural model of sport-oriented students' physical education with application of information technologies has been formed. In the model all students are trained in sport-oriented academic groups by chosen kinds of sports (motor functioning). Such approach envisages holistic form of program material construction and unified algorithm of students' progress assessment. Conclusions: the wholeness of sport-oriented physical education's functioning is ensured at the account of application of information technologies. It permits to optimize motor skills' training process. In this case single form of building of program material is created.

“…Presence also figures prominently in the work of military chaplains-evident in memoirs with titles like A Table in the Presence by Lt. Carey H. Cash, a chaplain who served with the Marines (Cash 2004). Chaplains in universities, sports setting and workplaces also frequently talk about being present with people and accompanying them through a range of life transitions when asked to talk about their work (Dzikus et al 2012;Jacobsen and Jacobsen 2012;Miller et al 2016).…”

While chaplains are required in the military, federal prisons, and the Veteran's Administration, they are also present in a range of other settings across the United States. In ports, religiously motivated individuals and institutions have long histories of evangelizing and providing social services. We focus on chaplains in 15 of the largest American ports today to ask how they negotiate access to seafarers and how they work with them daily. Chaplains negotiate security protocols, the hierarchy of ships, and their own self-presentations to get on board vessels. In their daily work, they shift among economic, moral, religious, and advocacy roles. Chaplains access seafarers by providing economic support and then use that access to develop the relationships they see as central to their work. By being present in these relationships, connecting seafarers to broader communities, and serving as an invisible global safety net, port chaplains see themselves acting as humanizing agents of modern capitalism. The case of port chaplaincy suggests additional strategies chaplains use to gain access not yet present in the sociological literature, further illustrates how the work of chaplains is shaped by the institutions within which it takes place, and expands sociological approaches to religion "on the edge" by showing multiple ways religion appears at the water's edge not yet theorized in that literature.

“…Chaplains are required in the military, however, and this legal mandate may minimize the extent to which presence figures in the discourse of military chaplains (Bergen 2004;Otis 2009;Brinsfield 2010;Whitt 2014). Presence is also a deep part of the work chaplains do in universities, sports setting, and workplaces though additional studies are required to describe how chaplains use it to articulate their professional mandates (Dzikus, Hardin and Waller 2012;Jacobsen and Jacobsen 2012;Miller, Ngunjiri and Lorusso 2016).…”
