Abstract:
The article presents a comprehensive study of the methodology for integrating adaptive artificial intelligence (AI) into the flight training training complex. Based on the analysis of cadets' performance in adaptive and non-adaptive VR environments, it has been proven that the use of AI, which can analyze cadets' actions in real time and dynamically adapt the difficulty of tasks, leads to a statistically significant reduction in the time required to master key flight skills by 35-40% compared to traditional training methods. The integration of an AI instructor that provides personalized feedback based on the analysis of biometric data (eye gaze trajectory, hand position on the controls, and physiological indicators) can reduce the number of errors during the transition to a real aircraft by 25-30 %. The study includes a detailed analysis of the system architecture, performance evaluation methodologies, and practical recommendations for implementation.

Abstract:
Abstract Orienteering is a dynamic sport that combines physical endurance and the intellectual skills of navigating rough terrain with a map and compass. This paper, based on the personal experience of one of the authors as an Udmurt champion, summarizes the experience of participating in orienteering competitions at various levels. It emphasizes that achieving professionalism requires impeccable map and compass skills, excellent physical fitness, disciplined diet, protective equipment, and psychological resilience. Orienteering is a challenge to the elements and one's own fears, providing genuine inspiration and excitement.

Abstract:
This article conducts a content analysis of marker words in Soviet newspapers during the preparation and holding of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. The study reveals how official discourse constructed the image of the event, transforming it from a “festival of peace” to a “fortress of socialism” amidst an international boycott. The study confirms that content analysis of marker words, combined with data visualization, is an effective method for reconstructing the historical context and revealing hidden mechanisms of interaction between power, ideology, and public consciousness. The official narrative of the 1980 Olympics, as reflected in the press, was not so much a reflection of reality as an active attempt to construct it, replacing the complexity and contradictions of the event with a clear, yet unrealistic, ideological framework. The literature review demonstrates that this study, focusing on linguistic aspects, contributes to contemporary historiography by offering a new tool for verifying existing theses on the nature of Soviet propaganda in the late Soviet period.

Abstract:
The gap between understanding the benefits of being physically active and engaging in it has historically existed. Hence, the introduction of Wearable Fitness Trackers and social media sites such as Instagram has created an opportunity to influence physical activity by encouraging people to track and share fitness data, build physically active communities and share their workout information with them. This research aims to understand if sharing workout results on Instagram is effective in driving engagement and motivation from the user’s experience; and if it impacts the user's commitment to physical activity and behavioural adoption. The research design is based on quantitative methodology using an online survey strategy to collect data through sending a Google Forms questionnaire. This research was conducted as an explanatory study with a cross-sectional time horizon. After an open invitation via email and Instagram, the survey was done using a self- selection sampling technique. A link was shared to direct respondents to the survey. Quantitative data analysis is used in this research. Figures and tables represent and display numerical results to describe and understand the data. The total number of final respondents was 111. The sample size was 96 self-selected respondents. Results show that the most experienced effect for users who share workout results on Instagram is “to encourage others to work out and promote behavioural intentions to exercise”, while for those who are WFT users but non-sharers, “the desired effect” to start sharing workout results on Instagram would be “motivation”; and for those who were exposed to WFT results posts, the effect also impacted on their “motivation”. Both WFT and Instagram users, together with social-sharers, value “motivation” as the most critical factor to sustain workout data-sharing in the long term. For those who are users but do not share data on Instagram, it is also the “motivation” factor that would drive their intentions to start sharing their workout data. This study provides critical insights for academics and researchers who conduct additional research on Instagram- based health promotion and intervention initiatives and the main perceived and desired effects of users social-sharing WFT on Instagram for maximising their research potential. Additionally, WFT designersmight find insights for creating further ways to facilitate the easy sharing of fitness data on Instagram, understanding that social features and factors, together with individual motivation, are essential to help users engage with the device, physical activity, and other users.
