Observational Studies in Male Elite Football: A Systematic Mixed Study Review

Objective: This systematic mixed study review, focuses on the use of observation methodology in elite men's football matches, which constitutes an innovative approach, that opens up a new panorama of useful and productive research. Method: The methods used in this study follow the recommendations for systematic reviews and meta-analysis guidelines (PRISMA). The search was carried out in five databases. Ninety-four articles out of 3,195 were selected and analyzed. In order to achieve a quality assessment, the guide was used to inform evaluations based on observation methodology (GREOM) (Portell et al., 2015), recognized by the EQUATOR network. Results: From the methodological review analysis, information obtained indicates that 97% of the researches used direct observation and 3% indirect observation. On the other hand, 56.5% of the articles explain the instrument used and 77% justify the applied observational design. A quantitative comparison of the proportions was made in several methodological aspects, which resulted in only 15.21% reviewing the quality of the data, and that 67.3% of the articles contributed to the mixed methods approach. The methodological review allowed us to establish procedural profiles. The results indicate that 67% of the articles have been published in English, and of these, 77% were published in journals that have an impact factor. The majority of the researchers, 53.26%, belong to Spanish entities. The most studied substantive aspects were goal (34%), possession of the ball (28%), and corner (27%). The most observed events were Leagues, World Cups, individual players and other events. Conclusions: The results obtained refer to both substantive and methodological aspects and allow us to configure a systematic review of mixed studies, in which we emphasize the aspects of a “systematic review” and a “mixed study,” within an integrated perspective.
Neurotransmitter Systems and Age Related Cognitive Decline: A Focus on Attention and Plasticity

Normal and pathological forms of aging, such as Alzheimer’s Disease, are characterized by declines in attention and neuroplasticity. However, the underlying neurobiological changes associated with cognitive deterioration have not been fully characterized. This paper describes two experiments that strive to further the understanding of these two age-related cognitive declines. Experiment 1 investigated the interaction between GABAergic basal forebrain neurons and the cholinergic system and how these systems separately and in combination with one another affect performance on the two-choice sustained attention task for rats. The results from experiment 1 found that immunotoxic GABAergic basal forebrain neurons lesions left animals more susceptible to the attentional deficits due to the blocking of muscarinic receptors with scopolamine. Experiment 2 tested the effects of the addition of a flashing houselight distracter on neuroplasticity in aged rats. This was conducted through comparing performance in animals that had the addition of a flashing houselight distracter and those that performed with a stable houselight on a learned two-choice sustained attention task and a newly introduced lightlocation discrimination task. The results from experiment 2 indicated that once the rats were able to overcome the initial increase in attentional demand due the flashing houselight, the distracter-exposed animals showed an increase in attentional performance during the 25 ms signal duration trials during the sustained attention task beyond the non-distracter-exposed animals while maintaining performance on the other attention trial types. However, cholinergic manipulations due to injections of scopolamine and nicotine did not differentially alter performance for the distracter-exposed versus the nondistracter-exposed rats. These results indicate that the ability to overcome high attentional demands may increase neuroplasticity in aged rats.
A FORECAST ON THE POST-TRAUMATIC DEVELOPMENT OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS

Traumatic events refer cases in which people come across with fear, helplessness, weakness, vulnerability. Along with traumatic events, a person experiences fear and helplessness in the extreme. During a traumatic event, the person may be irresistibly helpless. Some occupational groups are constantly confronted with traumatic events as a result of their work. Health workers, police officers, firefighters, civil defense forces and other some occupational groups encounter traumatic events because of their works. The purpose of this study is to determine the psychological problems experienced by emergency health workers and how they cope with these problems. For this purpose, " Hopelessness Scale , Locus of Control Scale , Problem Solving Inventory, Perceived Social Support Scale, Post-Traumatic Growth Scale, Peritraumatic Dissociative Experiences Questionnaire , Post-Traumatic Stress Diagnostic Scale, Beck Depression Inventory" were used to determine psychological statements. The research was conducted in Erzincan city, which covers the employees of Mengucek Gazi Education-Research Hospital and Emergency Health Services Directorate of Private Neon Hospital. The sample was selected among the teams serving in the ambulances from the Emergency Health Services Branch Directorate. The scales sent to the stations were applied to a total of 400 emergency health workers.
Back EMF Harmonic Analysis of Permanent Magnet Magnetic Geared Machine

Permanent magnet magnetic geared machine (PM-MGM) is widely researched as a potential core component of electrical continuously variable transmission system. Due to the dual mechanical port structure, back electromotive force (EMF) characteristics of PM-MGMs are quite different from that of conventional permanent magnet (PM) machines. In this article, back EMF harmonic features of PM-MGMs are thoroughly analyzed. The back EMF harmonic amplitude and order are analytically deduced, it can be found that both of them are variable and related with normalized speed ratio. A simulation/experiment method is proposed to separate and calculate different flux linkage components. A novel distortion factor criterion for PM-MGMs is defined to evaluate the variable back EMF distortion value. Different from existing criteria, the proposed criterion is a function of normalized speed ratio, hence it is more comprehensive for PM-MGM back EMF comparison and machine design. The torque ripple caused by back EMF harmonics is also analyzed. A PM-MGM prototype has been manufactured, and back EMF features as well as validity of the proposed distortion factor are verified by experiment.
A STUDY OF THE LEARNING PERFORMANCE OF COLLABORATIVE LEARNING AND CREATIVE THINKING ON A DESIGN SKETCHING COURSE

This study aimed to explore the causes and influences in learning effectiveness regarding collaborative learning that includes teaching creative thinking for the design sketches of the “Portfolio portrait unit”. There are six weeks in total for this project, 52 students completed feedback evaluation forms, underwent learning assessment, and had an exhibition. After joining this collaborative learning project with creative thinking teaching combined with the design sketches of human figures, most of the students suggested the cognition, affection, and psychomotor domain were useful.
Opportunistic screening for alcohol use disorders in primary care: comparative study

Health technology Several screening strategies for alcohol use disorders in primary care were examined. These were the alcohol use disorders identification test (AUDIT) and traditional biochemical markers such as gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT), erythrocyte mean cell volume (MCV), and per cent carbohydrate deficient transferrin (%CDT). The AUDIT is a 10-item questionnaire specifically developed for use as a short screening instrument for the identification of hazardous, harmful, or dependent alcohol users.
Concept Analysis of Empathy

Purpose: This study was done to analyze and clarify the concept of empathy in nursing. Methods: Using the concept analysis framework of Walker & Avant 68 articles about empathy were selected for this study. Results: Defining attributes of empathy included recognizing others’ perspective and thought, understanding others’ emotion, and communicating with them. The antecedents of empathy included contact with patients, respect and trust for patients, a certain level of cognitive ability, and communication skills. Consequences of empathy were increasing patient self-understanding, self-awareness as a therapeutic subject and improving quality of nursing. The concept was clarified through presentation of model, borderline, related, and contrary cases. Conclusion: The results of this study are meaningful in that the concept and attributes of empathy are explored in the area of nursing. Also, based on results of this study, development of standardized tools to measure patient-perceived empathy and measure the three attributes of empathy is recommended as well as the development of educational programs to enhance empathy.
How does the use of a foreign language affect team processes and member stress and satisfaction?

This study looked at how team-level processes (communication) affected team-level outcomes (participation in decision making and team creativity) and individual-level outcomes (stress and satisfaction) for Chinese people who used either their native language or a foreign language, Japanese, in taskrelated team settings. An experimental study was conducted with a sample of 54 teams of Chinese students (N = 222) majoring in the Japanese language. All participants were randomly assigned to either the control group (native language condition) or the experimental group (foreign language condition). The results indicated that the use of a foreign language in team situations tended to lead to lower communication and participation in decision making at the team level, and higher stress and lower satisfaction at the individual level. Moreover, we found that communication mediated the relationships between language and the two team-level outcomes; and member stress mediated the relationship between language and member satisfaction. Cross-level moderating effects of team-level participation in decision making on the individual-level relationship between foreign language and individual outcomes were also found. Specifically, the positive (negative) effect of using a foreign language on stress (satisfaction) became more pronounced as the level of participation in decision making increased.
News Media Representations of International and Refugee Postsecondary Students

ABSTRACT Postsecondary institutions in the global north have rapidly internationalized, driven mainly by the proliferation of international students and responses to these changing demographics. This internationalization has captured attention across various platforms, including increased media focus directed toward these students and the primary and ancillary influences of their participation in PSIs and surrounding communities. The project explored in this paper examines this phenomenon by connecting internationalization of higher education research with insights from critical media studies and framing theory to investigate news media representations of international and refugee students’ participation in Canadian universities and colleges. A critical thematic analysis was performed on 391 news media texts published between 2000 and 2017. Findings reveal the Canadian news media’s tendency to construct issues related to international students and internationalization into one or a combination of four broad macrothemes: (1) Canada as benevolent and ideal; (2) international students and internationalization as commodified assets; (3) international students and internationalization as threats; and (4) the strategic neutrality of data.
Home Health Nurses: Are They Satisfied With Their Work Environment

The McCloskey and Mueller Satisfaction Scale developed in 1990 (MMSS) was used to measure home health nurses'
Bringing metaphors back to the streets: a corpus-based study for the identification and interpretation of rhetorical figures in street art

Research on (verbo-)pictorial metaphors and other rhetorical figures is primarily focused on the genre of advertising, leaving other genres under-investigated. In this study, the authors focus on street art, a visually perceived cross-cultural medium used to address sociopolitical issues. This genre typically combines two interacting semiotic systems – language and depiction – and is thus a form of polysemiotic communication. Their analysis is based on a corpus of 50 street artworks addressing the financial, sociopolitical and migrant/refugee crisis in the city of Athens (2015–2017). They present a data-driven procedure for the identification and interpretation of metaphors and other rhetorical figures in street art, informed by cognitive linguistic and semiotic models. Quantitative analyses show that their models can be reliably applied to street art and can enable them to distinguish metaphors from other rhetorical figures within these images. At the same time, qualitative analyses show that this genre usually requires the integration of conceptual, contextual, socio-cultural and linguistic knowledge in order to achieve successful interpretation of these images. The authors discuss their findings within the theoretical framework of cognitive semiotics.
Persistence of Problems with Child Care: Evidence from the HILDA survey

Substantial research has been conducted into the impact of accessible, affordable and high quality childcare on outcomes such as maternal workforce participation and child well-being. Relatively little is known, however, about the extent to which Australian parents experience problems in accessing appropriate care for their children, or the family characteristics most often associated with problems accessing care. In this study we examine the characteristics of those households that have experienced persistent problems with accessing childcare by using data from the Household Income and Labour Dynamics of Australia (HILDA) survey. The study involves a longitudinal analysis of self-reported problems with child care affordability and availability, using Waves 2 and 3 of the HILDA survey. The longitudinal analysis looks at mothers in households that experienced persistent problems with child care and the relationships between persistent problems and household characteristics such as income, type of child care usage, household type and ages of children. We also examine the effects of problems with child care in Wave 2 on child care use and hours of maternal work in Wave 3.
Educational technology: relevance to a Fijian classroom

Educational technology has emerged as a necessary tool for classrooms in the developing world. Educational technology is the considered implementation of appropriate tools, techniques, or processes that facilitate the application of senses, memory, and cognition to enhance teaching practices and improve learning outcomes. It is defined as “the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources. ” This research intends to identify educational technologies that are popular around the world and elaborate upon them. The research project further used a case study to sample schools in Fiji to determine their use of educational technologies in the Fijian classroom. Various uses, benefits, implementations, and challenges were identified together with the limitations of how educational technologies’ relevance to the Fijian classroom could be affected. The findings indicate that the Fijian classroom is not quite ready to completely embrace educational technologies into their operations given the challenges are few but immense. Questions suggesting future activities were also identified.
Soluble haemoglobin-induced rheological impairment: A role for oxygen free radical formation

It has been demonstrated that iron and iron compounds facilitate hydroxyl radical generation from activated oxygen species. Free haemoglobin (Hb), like other iron-rich substances, might also me­ diate hydroxyl radical production and induce lipid peroxidation and cell damage. On the basis of the hypothesis that Hb may influence circulating blood cells, namely red cells, studies have been carried out on the effect of Hb on rheological properties of whole blood. Hb is capable of significantly influencing whole blood filterabi-· lity and, to a lesser extent, whole blood viscosity. The addition of Fe2+ has a potentiating effect; superoxide dismutase and thio­ urea which are respectively selective inhibitors of superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals are able to antagonize the Hb-induced rheological impairment. From these observations, the hypothesis may suggest that Hb negati­ vely influences some rheological properties of whole blood by pro­ ducing oxygen free radicals. Hb released in vivo at the site of arterial stenosis and of atherosclerotic plaque rupture may induce a rheological impairment and, so doing, playa role in microcircu­ latory derangement.
Psychological wellbeing, distress and coping in Australian Indigenous and multicultural prisoners: a mixed methods analysis

The Australian prison population is growing and becoming increasingly diverse. Yet very little research has investigated mental health concerns for multi-cultural prisoners. This mixed methods study aimed to identify the prevalence of mental health factors (wellbeing, distress and coping) in a cohort of 530 prisoners from Indigenous, culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) and English-speaking backgrounds (ESB) at a maximum-security prison in Victoria, Australia. Focus group interviews were also conducted with an additional 40 prisoners. It was found that Indigenous prisoners had significantly higher levels of distress and more symptoms of anxiety and depression than CALD and ESB prisoners. CALD prisoners had a greater sense of ‘feeling in control’ in prison than ESB prisoners. The focus group interviews also identified several factors that contributed to mental health differences between the groups. Findings reinforce the need for a more individualised approach in addressing mental health issues for prisoners cross-culturally.

Encyclopedia of epidemiology

Issues of health and disease are central to human life, so an understanding of the science of epidemiology, the study of the patterns of disease and injury in human populations, is relevant to everyone. Many areas of study are directly concerned with epidemiological issues, including medicine and nursing, public policy, health administration, and the social and behavioral sciences. The Encyclopedia of Epidemiology presents state-of-the-art information from the field of epidemiology in a less technical and accessible style and format. With more than 600 entries, no single reference provides as comprehensive a resource in as focused and appropriate manner. The entries cover every major facet of epidemiology, from risk ratios to case-control studies to mediating and moderating variables, and much more. Relevant topics from related fields such as biostatistics and health economics are also included. Key Features - Presents a Reader's Guide to organize entries around themes or specific topics and easily guide users to areas of interest - Offers cross-referenced terms, brief listing of further readings, and stable website URLs following most entries - Provides appendices that include a general bibliography to build on "Further Readings," an annotated list of organizations relevant to epidemiology, the standard statistical tables used in epidemiology (t-distribution, F-table, normal [z] distribution, chi-square, etc.), and flow charts to aid researchers in selecting an appropriate study design This resource is a must-have for students, practitioners, researchers, and the informed public who want to know more about health and disease, and related topics.
