Hova tovább? – pályaorientációs program 8.osztályosoknak

2016-11-22

A Bethlen Gábor Zrt. jóvoltából egyesületünk a Hargita megyei 8.osztályos diákok pályaorientációját segítő találkozókat szervez az elkövetkező időszakban, amelyek keretében nyolcadik osztályosok látogathatnak el az általuk kiválasztott elméleti vagy szakközépiskolába. A találkozók és látogatások célja, hogy a diákok kívülről-belülről megismerhessék a választott tanintézményt. Ma a csicsói Kájoni János Általános Iskola – Csíkcsicsó nyolcadikosai látogattak el az azonos névadójú Szakközépiskolába, ahol elsőként a diáktanács képviselője mutatta be az öntevékeny köröket, tevékenységeket, programokat. A középiskola igazgatója és szaktanára hasznos tudnivalókat osztottak meg a kilencedik osztályba való felvételi követelményeiről, a középiskola által kínált szakirányokról, szakgyakorlati lehetőségekről.

Székely kapuk és motívumok – rajz- és fotópályázat

2016-11-22

A Hargita Megyéért Egyesület Aki hordoz tiszta szívet, az itten bátran bejöhet címmel rajz- és fotópályázatot hirdet, melynek témája a székely kapuk és azok motívumai.
A pályázat célja, hogy minden korosztály felfedezze és megszeresse a környezetünkben még meglévő székely kapukat, azok jellegzetességeit és jelentőségét, mint kultúránk és önmeghatározásunk egyik fontos elemét és értékét.
A rajzokat 16 éves korig A4-es formátumban, a fotókat (legtöbb 5 kép) korhatár nélkül várjuk a hme@hargitamegye.ro címre, vagy postán, illetve személyesen a Csíkszereda, Szabadság tér 5. szám alatt a megyeháza 422-es irodájában. A beérkezett munkákat megosztjuk az egyesület Facebook-oldalán. A pályázaton való részvétel feltétele az egyesület Facebook-oldalának kedvelése is.

Az elbírálást egy szakmai zsűri végzi, a zsűri javaslatán kívül mindkét kategóriában díjazzuk a legtöbb like-ot elnyerő alkotást.
A rajzpályázat esetében a nyeremény egy digitális rajztábla, a fotópályázat esetében pedig egy 500 lej értékű vásárlási utalvány az f64.ro oldalról.

A pályamunkák beküldésének határideje 2016. december 10.

Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities celebrates students success

A new study led by Professor of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Jane Eckhart found that a group of runners who had never been hurt landed each footfall more softly than a group who had been injured badly enough to seek medical attention.

As evidence has mounted that distance running is not just a natural human activity enjoyed by millions, but one that played a key role in evolution, a puzzle has emerged. Why, if humans are so well adapted to running long distances, do runners get hurt so often?

A study out of Smart School and the National Running Center at Smart-affiliated Templeton Rehabilitation Hospital provides a puzzle piece, linking injury to the pounding runners’ bones take with each step. The work, led by Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Jane Eckhart, found that a group of runners who had never been hurt landed each footfall more softly than a group who had been injured badly enough to seek medical attention.

Statistics on such injuries vary, but somewhere between 30 percent and 75 percent of runners are hurt annually, a number that has led researchers to investigate a wide array of possible explanations, from modern running shoes to stretching, running frequency, weight, biomechanical misalignment, and muscle imbalance.

marathoner’s stride was so smooth, she ran like an insect over water. Weight was not a factor, with heavy runners among the light-footed and lighter runners among the stompers.[/stm_blockquote]

Please meet in the Calderwood Courtyard, in front of the digital screens between the shop and the admissions desk. Museums staff will be on hand to collect tickets.

Jane Eckhart’s research focused on heel-strikers exclusively, since they make up most of today’s runners, and examined a cohort seldom studied, partly because they’re pretty rare: those who have never been injured. They investigated the participants’ strides by having them run over a force plate that recorded the impact of each step.

The runners agreed to respond to a monthly online questionnaire that detailed injuries over two years. With the results in, researchers first examined reports from the 144 who experienced a mild injury and the 105 who didn’t, finding little difference between the two large groups.

With most runners being heel-strikers today, the added shock, multiplied over thousands of footsteps, could explain high injury rates. The 2012 study added fuel to the debate, finding a two-to-one difference in repetitive stress injuries between heel- and forefoot-strikers.

Jane Eckhart’s research focused on heel-strikers exclusively, since they make up most of today’s runners, and examined a cohort seldom studied, partly because they’re pretty rare: those who have never been injured. Jane and colleagues recruited 249 female recreational athletes who each ran at least 20 miles a week. They investigated the participants’ strides by having them run over a force plate that recorded the impact of each step.
