Abstract The purpose of this case study was to determine the value orientations of health and physical education students (HPE) in an Australian physical education teacher education (PETE) program. Additionally, I was interested in the sympathy or otherwise in the relationship between the explicit Queensland HPE curriculum values and the value profiles of a cohort of pre-service teachers. Values were measured with the Value Orientation Inventory-2 (VOI-2) developed by Ennis and Chen, (1993). The culture and the curriculum goals of HPE and health and physical education teacher education (HPETE), contribute to the socialisation and construction of value orientations (Solmon & Ashy, 1995). Descriptive statistics were compiled for all five-value orientations, along with t-tests and ANOVA’s. Participants (N=33) were recruited from the 3rd year HPE cohort at a large Australian University and were tested pre and post semester 2, 2007. Initial and final testing demonstrated a diverse range of value orientation profiles. This cohort of HPETE students emphasizes certain value priorities over others. 26 students within this study demonstrated a ‘Neutral’ or ‘High’ priority towards learning process (LP), additionally 22 students also have a ‘Neutral’ or ‘High’ disciplinary mastery (DM) priority. The students’ priorities towards social responsibility (SR) were very low, with two students in the ‘High’ category and eighteen in the ‘Low’ priority. Initial ‘High’ dispositions towards LP and DM are consistent with the findings of Solmon and Ashy, (1995). The SR results suggest that many PETE students’ values are unsympathetic with the values underpinning the Queensland HPE curriculum. This may be cause for concern to those interested in curricula orientated around the principles of social justice, equity, diversity, inclusiveness, and supportive contexts.

Цель работы: разработке универсальный авторскую модель тестирования массивов хранения данных для оптимизации бизнес-процесса тестирования демо-оборудования на предприятии. В соответствии с целью и темой работы, были поставлены следующие задачи: провести литературный обзор на наличие моделей тестирования ИТ-оборудования; исследовать и провести сравнительный анализ существующих моделей тестирования массивов хранения; разработать и описать авторскую универсальную модель тестирования; создать стандартизированный бизнес-процесс тестирования массивов хранения данных; рассмотреть практическую применимость созданной модели на предприятии-заказчике; оценить экономический эффект от внедрения новой модели в бизнес-процесс тестирования. Результат проекта – Разработанная авторская модель тестирования массивов хранения данных. Вклад автора в проект: участие в разработке программы тестирования как работника компании-интегратора, проведение тестирований массивов хранения по разработанной модели. / The purpose of the work: to develop a universal author's model of testing data storage arrays to optimize the business process of testing demo equipment at the enterprise. In accordance with the purpose and topic of the work, the following tasks were set: to conduct a literary review for the availability of IT equipment testing models; to investigate and conduct a comparative analysis of existing storage array testing models; to develop and describe the author's universal testing model; to create a standardized business process for testing storage arrays; to consider the practical applicability of the created model at the customer enterprise; to assess the economic effect of the introduction of a new model into the testing business process. The result of the project is the author's developed model for testing data storage arrays. The author's contribution to the project: participation in the development of the testing program as an employee of the integrator company, testing of storage arrays according to the developed model.

Human enhancement (HE) is the field of research aiming to improve and overcome the biological limitations of the physical and mental performance of humans. The implications of HE might especially prove relevant within high-intensity environments, such as the working environment of police and fire and rescue services. The aim of this thesis is to identify the needs of personnel within these domains and to highlight potential HE solutions that could aid to improve responder performance in the setting of an active emergency. Interviews conducted with representatives for the Swedish police and fire and rescue service highlighted the need for support of mental performance in the form of destressing during highintensity situations as well as an improvement of creating situational awareness and making adequate decisions in a short amount of time. The results imply a potential of implementing HE solutions that aid emergency responders by keeping them alert and open for information gathering or minimizing the experienced level of stress while providing vital information for a proper response. The thesis alsoconcluded a generally positive attitude towards implementation of HE solutions.
