Investigation of communication skills perceived by students from instructors

Background and Study Aim. The aim of this research is to examine the communication skills of the students studying at the faculties of sports sciences, as perceived by the instructors. Material and Methods. The study was conducted using general survey model. The sample group of the study is consisted of a total of 714 randomly selected voluntary students, including 423 males and 291 females, who study at Faculty of Sports Sciences. The Communication Skills Evaluation Scale, was used as the data collection tool in the study. In the analysis of the data, t-test and one-way variance analysis and Tukey test analysis were used. Results. According to the variables of the high school they graduated from, the department they studied and the grade level, it was determined that the communication skills they perceived from the instructors were at a moderate level. In addition, it was determined that the perceived communication level of male students studying in the coaching department was higher than that of male students studying in the teaching department. Conclusions. Male and female students of sports sciences in the learning process should have effective communication skills in order to be prepared for their sociality and professional life. The acquisition of this skill largely depends on the efforts of the instructors in their courses and extracurricular activities during the undergraduate period. In this context, the instructors who attend the courses should be competent in their own branches, as well as being able to communicate positively and effectively with male and female students.
PROBLEM SOLVING RACE: GAMIFICATION TO SOLVE INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING PROBLEMS IN THE DISTANCE AND CLASSROOM LEARNING

In the Tec21 educational model [1], one of the core competencies is problem-solving, which is also one of the most requested skills by companies for hiring candidates. Solving problems is a priority competency in training the Tecnologico de Monterrey students. This paper describes the academic experience of a gamification design using problem-solving in a role game. The objective was to redesign the primarily theoretical course to be more empathetic to the confinement situations of students during the pandemic, leveraging available educational technology using gamification. Thus, we created a board game called Problem-Solving Race (PSR), which has evolved into an online game students can play to develop this and other competencies for the graduation profile that we seek in our students. The university's "Virtual Campus" platform (using virtual reality technology) facilitated the gamification for a practical experience that highly engages the students.
The Radiation Shielding Performance of Polyester with TeO2 and B2O3

In this research, polymers were fabricated through combining polyester, boron oxide (B2O3), and Tellurium oxide (TeO2). B2O3 has good neutron absorption and TeO2 is not only highly dense (5.670 g/cm3) but also environment-friendly, compared to PbO, as well as being a good photon absorber. The radiation protection features for five investigated samples were examined utilizing an HPGe detector and point sources Am-241, Cs-137, and Co-60. The accuracy of the experimental setup of this experiment was proven through the linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) values obtained from the theoretical (XCOM) and experimental (HPGe) values of the newly developed polymers. The attained results showed that the values of LAC decrease with increasing energy. Moreover, at low energy, a noteworthy increase was found for the LAC values with the addition of TeO2. Due to the increase in TeO2 content of the polymers, the value of the half value layer (HVL) decreases from 6.073–4.193 cm at energy 0.662 MeV, from 7.973–5.668 cm at energy 1.173 MeV, and 8.514–6.061 cm at energy 1.333 MeV. The values of the effective atomic number (Zeff) showed an improvement with the increase in TeO2 content in the polymers. For example, at energy 0.150 MeV, the Zeff values of the prepared sample followed this decreasing trend - PBT-40 > PBT-30 > PBT-20 > PBT-10 > PBT-0.
Young athletes of leadership and effective communication perceptions the case of Turkish Football Federation 3rd league

Leadership behaviors of team captains in sports and the evaluation of effective communication levels in terms of demographic variables is the aim for study. The sample of the study consists of 106 football players who play football actively in the 3rd League of the Turkish Football Federation (TFF). Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis H test and Spearman correlation analyzes has been used for evaluating. The results show that there was a positive linear relationship between the perceived leadership behaviors of the athletes and their perceptions of effective communication. The significant difference between the education level variable, and the democratic behavior and autocratic behavior, which are the sub-dimensions of the perceptions of leadership in sports. The significant difference between the variable of position and the sub-dimensions of leadership in sports, social support and rewarding behavior. There is also a significant difference between the year playing football and democratic behavior, social support and rewarding behavior. No significant difference was found between perceptions of effective communication and demographic variables. Five predictor variables from the sub-dimensions of leadership in sports significantly explain approximately 30% of the total variance in effective communication scores. As a result, it can be concluded that the socially supported, rewarding, educational and instructive behaviors of team captains increase their effective communication skills with their athletes.
Stratigraphy, paleontology, depositional framework, and nomenclature of marine Upper Cretaceous rocks, Socorro County, New Mexico

Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico.
Delayed Start of Routine Vaccination in Preterm and Small-for-Gestational-Age Infants: An Area-Based Cohort Study from the Tuscany Region, Italy

Preterm and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants are more susceptible to vaccine-preventable diseases. To evaluate routine vaccination timeliness in these high-risk groups, a full birth cohort of infants (n = 41,502) born in 2017 and 2018 in Tuscany was retrospectively followed up until 24 months of age. Infants were classified by gestational age (GA) and SGA status. The vaccinations included: hexavalent (HEXA), measles-mumps-rubella, varicella, pneumococcal conjugate (PCV), and meningococcal C conjugate. Time-to-event (Kaplan–Meier) analyses were conducted to evaluate the timing of vaccination according to GA; logistic models were performed to evaluate the associations between GA and SGA with vaccination timeliness. Time-to-event analyses show that the rate of delayed vaccine receipt increased with decreasing GA for all the vaccinations, with a less marked gradient in later vaccine doses. Compared to full-term infants, very preterm infants significantly showed an increased odds ratio (OR) for delayed vaccination in all the vaccinations, while moderate/late preterm infants only showed an increased OR for HEXA-1, HEXA-3, PCV-1, and PCV-3. SGA infants had a significantly higher risk of delayed vaccination only for HEXA-1 and PCV-1 compared to non-SGA infants. In conclusion, vaccinations among preterm and SGA infants showed considerable delay. Tailored public health programs to improve vaccination timeliness are required in these high-risk groups.
Note on Adiabatic Modes and Ward Identities In A Closed Universe

As statements regarding the soft limit of cosmological correlation functions, consistency relations are known to exist in any flat FRW universe. In this letter we explore the possibility of finding such relations in a spatially closed universe, where the soft limit $\textbf{q}\rightarrow 0$ does not exist in any rigorous sense. Despite the absence of spatial infinity of the spatial slices, we find the adiabatic modes and their associated consistency relations in a toy universe with background topology $R\times S^2$. Flat FRW universe adiabatic modes are recovered via taking the large radius limit $R\gg \mathcal{H}^{-1}$, for which we are living in a small local patch of Hubble size on the sphere. It is shown that both dilation and translation adiabatic modes in the local patch are recovered by a global dilation on the sphere, acting at different places.
Bacterial Cellulose as a Versatile Biomaterial for Wound Dressing Application

Chronic ulcers are among the main causes of morbidity and mortality due to the high probability of infection and sepsis and therefore exert a significant impact on public health resources. Numerous types of dressings are used for the treatment of skin ulcers-each with different advantages and disadvantages. Bacterial cellulose (BC) has received enormous interest in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and medical fields due to its biological, physical, and mechanical characteristics, which enable the creation of polymer composites and blends with broad applications. In the medical field, BC was at first used in wound dressings, tissue regeneration, and artificial blood vessels. This material is suitable for treating various skin diseases due its considerable fluid retention and medication loading properties. BC membranes are used as a temporary dressing for skin treatments due to their excellent fit to the body, reduction in pain, and acceleration of epithelial regeneration. BC-based composites and blends have been evaluated and synthesized both in vitro and in vivo to create an ideal microenvironment for wound healing. This review describes different methods of producing and handling BC for use in the medical field and highlights the qualities of BC in detail with emphasis on biomedical reports that demonstrate its utility. Moreover, it gives an account of biomedical applications, especially for tissue engineering and wound dressing materials reported until date. This review also includes patents of BC applied as a wound dressing material.
Baryonic acoustic oscillations simulations for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST)

The baryonic acoustic oscillations are features in the spatial distribution of the galaxies which, if observed at different epochs, probe the nature of the dark energy. In order to be able to measure the parameters of the dark energy equation of state to high precision, a huge sample of galaxies has to be used. The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will survey the optical sky with 6 filters from 300nm and 1100nm, such that a catalog of galaxies with photometric redshifts will be available for dark energy studies. In this article, we will give a rough estimate of the impact of the photometric redshift uncertainties on the computation of the dark energy parameter through the reconstruction of the BAO scale from a simulated photometric catalog.
Design Considerations for 3-D Exergames

To increase the benefıts of three-dimensional exercise games, the steps to develop these games need to be effective and efficient. The purpose of this study is to determine the game development model used in the design of three-dimensional games for exercise to create effective, efficient, usable, and safe games for users. In this article, studies on exercise programs and game development models in the literature were examined. According to the results from the literature, the considerations which should be taken into account when designing the three-dimensional exercise games are: creating user-specific exercise training programs, having game and gamification elements, providing expert support in determining an exercise program, having rich tools for measuring and evaluating physical activities, providing feedback about short and long term user performance, and that it can be used independently in the home environment
Transgenic Maize Has Insignificant Effects on the Diversity of Arthropods: A 3-Year Study

In order to provide more evidence for the evaluation of the ecological risks of transgenic maize, arthropod population dynamics and biodiversity in fields planted with two kinds of transgenic maize (DBN9868, expressing the PAT and EPSPS genes, and DBN9936, expressing the Cry1Ab and EPSPS gene) were investigated by direct observation and trapping for three years. The recorded arthropod species belonged to 19 orders and 87 families, including Aphidoidea, Chrysomelidae, Coccinellidae, Chrysopidae and Araneae. The species richness, Shannon–Wiener diversity index, Pielou evenness index, dominance index and community similarity index of arthropod communities in maize fields were statistically analyzed, and the results showed that (1) the biodiversity difference of arthropod communities between transgenic maize and non-transgenic maize was smaller than that between different conventional cultivars; (2) the differences between ground-dwelling arthropod communities were less obvious than those between plant-inhabiting arthropod communities; and (3) Lepidoptera, the target pests of Bt maize, were not the dominant population in maize fields, and the dominant arthropod population in maize fields varied greatly between years and months. Combining those results, we concluded that the transgenic maize DBN9868 and DBN9936 had no significant effect on the arthropod communities in the field.
Wavelet Based Automatic Lesion Detection using Improved Active Contour Method

Mammography is one of the available techniques for the early detection of masses or abnormalities which is related to breast cancer. Breast Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells in the breast region, which may affect the other parts of the body. Digital Mammography is one of the best available technologies currently being used for the early detection of breast cancer. In this paper, we have proposed a methodImproved Active contour method that helps in the segmentation process for lesion detection. In this method before segmentation preprocessing and DWT of image in done. Preprocessing is one of the most important stages in medical images to remove the unwanted noise and for the enhancement of image. Discrete Wavelet Transform is considered for segmentation as it contains most significant information of the input image. Keywords—Digital Mammography, Preprocessing, Discrete wavelet transform, Segmentation, Active contour method.
Effective Actions for Strongly Interacting Fermionic Systems

We compare different non-perturbative methods for calculating the effective action for fermionic systems featuring bosonic bound states (BBS) and spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB). In a purely fermionic language proceeding into the SSB phase requires techniques beyond perturbation theory and renormalization group equations. Improvement comes from a description with BBS fields and elementary fields treated on equal footing. Yet, ``partial bosonization'' introduces an arbitrariness as the choice for the composite fields is usually not completely determined by the classical action. Results of approximate calculations, e.g. mean field theory, may depend strongly on this choice, thus limiting their quantitative reliability. Using the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model as an example we demonstrate how this dependence can be reduced, sometimes even be eliminated by suitably chosen approximations. Schwinger-Dyson equations (SDE) allow for a description of SSB without auxiliary fields. The 2PI effective action enables us to compare different solutions of the SDE and find the stable one. We apply this method to a six-fermion interaction resembling the three-flavor instanton interaction in QCD. We find a first order chiral phase transition but no stable phase with broken color symmetry. The existence of an elementary scalar boson in the Standard Model -- the Higgs -- raises several questions. The smallness of its mass compared to some fundamental scale ($\sim M_{\textrm{GUT}}$) requires an extreme amount of fine-tuning. Moreover, its $\phi^4$-potential may not be renormalizable in a strict sense. In view of this we discuss the possibility of a Higgs as BBS of fermions.
EMPIRICAL TESTING OF EMOTIONAL BRAND ATTACHMENT AND BRAND LOVE MEDIATION BETWEEN BRAND SATISFACTION AND BRAND LOYALTY

This research aims to test for emotional brand attachment and brand love as a mediator of brand satisfaction on brand loyalty. The purposive sampling technique was used to select 150 active users of Samsung smartphones. Furthermore, the data were collected by distributing questionnaires using Google Form, and the hypothesis testing used the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results showed brand satisfaction has a positive effect on emotional brand attachment and brand loyalty. Likewise, satisfaction on emotional brand attachment and brand love has a positive effect on brand loyalty. There was a partial mediating role of emotional brand attachment and brand love between brand satisfaction and brand loyalty. The implication is that brand loyalty will be stronger with emotional brand attachment and feelings of love for the brand, hence, the more loyal consumers will continue patronage. affect brand satisfaction, namely perceived quality, perceived cost value, trust, and lifestyle congruence.
High-quality sequencing from total RNA enriched with xGen Custom Hyb Capture

RNA-seq provides important information about gene expression and can be used to better understand the expression signatures of various cancers. However, researchers generally must perform either ribosomal RNA (rRNA) depletion or poly-A selection to sequence messenger RNA (mRNA) deeply enough to study the characteristics of cellular expression profiles. The combined use of the xGen RNA Library Prep Kit with xGen Custom Hyb Panels in a target enrichment workflow allows researchers to use total RNA as input material without depleting rRNA or using poly-A selection. More specifically, the IDT xGen Custom Hyb Panels can be designed to target and enrich genetic regions of interest, thus eliminating the need for rRNA depletion and poly-A selection. The data presented here compares two approaches for designing xGen Custom Hyb Panels for targeted RNA-seq, which both provide a streamlined, accurate, and reproducible approach to RNA-seq using total RNA.
Robust cone-mediated signaling persists late into rod 1 photoreceptor degeneration 2 3

13 Rod photoreceptor degeneration causes deterioration in the morphology and physiology 14 of cone photoreceptors along with changes in retinal circuits. These changes could 15 diminish visual signaling at cone-mediated light levels, thereby limiting the efficacy of 16 treatments such as gene therapy for rescuing normal, cone-mediated vision. However, 17 the impact of progressive rod death on cone-mediated signaling remains unclear. To 18 investigate the fidelity of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) signaling throughout disease 19 progression, we used a mouse model of rod degeneration (Cngb1). Despite clear 20 deterioration of cone morphology with rod death, cone-mediated signaling among RGCs 21 remained surprisingly robust: spatiotemporal receptive fields changed little and the 22 mutual information between stimuli and spiking responses was relatively constant. This 23 relative stability held until nearly all rods had died and cones had completely lost well24 formed outer segments. Interestingly, RGC information rates were higher and more 25 stable for natural movies than checkerboard noise as degeneration progressed. The 26 main change in RGC responses with photoreceptor degeneration was a decrease in 27 response gain. These results suggest that gene therapies for rod degenerative diseases 28
International Trade – An Analysis of Pre & Post Covid-19

International trade is essential for raising living standards, generating employment, and giving consumers access to a greater range of goods. Thus, the impact of international trade to accelerating economic evolution is widely acknowledged. In the year 2020, Covid-19 burst all over the world, slowing down the rate of economic growth. The novel COVID-19 will start to threaten the global economy and people's lives in December 2019. The lethal virus started to infect surrounding areas of contaminated areas, which greatly alarmed the governments of every country. The nations had no choice but to impose a state of lockdown after the spread grew uncontrollable. The shutdown significantly impacted numerous industry, which had an impact on the economy. Manufacturing, agriculture, and services—the three economic pillars—have all suffered harm, significantly slowing down the economies of all nations. The present paper studies how coronavirus (COVID-19) impacted the flow of international trade in terms of Export & Import and how this changed over a period of time. Secondly, it also analyses how international trade faced downfall only to bounce back again post pandemic. The paper also presents the trends of international trade and how it is gaining momentum post pandemic. seaborne trade of building AIS-based
A New Operator Theory Similar to Pseudo-Differential Operators

We summarize and extend the correlative definitions and principles of abstract operators, discuss the relation between abstract operators and pseudo-differential operators, add several new algorithms, furthermore, develop the theory of partial differential equations with abstract operators, and then systematically expound the basic methods. By combining abstract operators with the Laplace transform, we can easily derive the explicit solution of initial value problem of linear higher-order partial differential equations for n-dimensional space, and establish the general theory of linear higher-order partial differential equations.
In the Shoulder or in the Brain? Behavioral, Psychosocial and Cognitive Characteristics of Unilateral Chronic Shoulder Pain with Symptoms of Central Sensitization

The recognition of central sensitization (CS) is crucial, as it determines the results of rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to examine associations between CS and catastrophizing, functionality, disability, illness perceptions, kinesiophobia, anxiety, and depression in people with chronic shoulder pain (SP). In this cross-sectional study, 64 patients with unilateral chronic SP completed a few questionnaires including the Central Sensitization Inventory, the Oxford Shoulder Score, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire and the “arm endurance” test. On the basis of three constructed linear regression models, it was found that pain catastrophizing and depression (model 1: p < 0.001, R = 0.57, R2 = 0.33), functionality (model 2: p < 0.001, R = 0.50, R2 = 0.25), and helplessness (model 3: p < 0.001, R = 0.53, R2 = 0.28) were significant predictors for CS symptoms in chronic SP. Two additional logistic regression models also showed that depression (model 4: p < 0.001, Nagelkerke R2 = 0.43, overall correct prediction 87.5%) and functionality (model 5: p < 0.001, Nagelkerke R2 = 0.26, overall correct prediction 84.4%) can significantly predict the classification of chronic SP as centrally sensitized. Patients who were classified as centrally sensitized (n = 10) were found to have significantly worse functionality, psychological factors (anxiety, depression, kinesiophobia, catastrophizing), and pain intensity (p < 0.05). Catastrophizing, depression, and functionality are predictive factors of CS symptoms in patients with chronic shoulder pain. Health care providers should adopt a precision medicine approach during assessment and a holistic rehabilitation of patients with unilateral chronic SP.
