The role of tennis coaches in regulating their players' emotional states : an exploratory study

Müller Stephanie, 2014. The role of tennis coaches in regulating their players’ emotional states: An exploratory study. Master’s Thesis in Sport and Exercise Psychology. Department of Sport Sciences. University of Jyväskylä. 86p. During the past few decades, the ability to perceive, understand, and regulate emotions efficiently has received widespread attention in sport settings (Hanin, 2000; 2004; Robazza, Pellizzari, & Hanin, 2004). Moreover, this line of research has mainly focused on the intrapersonal aspect of emotions. The aim of the present study was to examine the role of tennis coaches in regulating their players’ emotional states. The present study explored (a) tennis players’ emotional states related to their best and worst performances, (b) coaches’ accuracy in assessing players’ emotional experiences within these performances, and (c) selfand interpersonal emotional regulation strategies of tennis coaches and players. The sample consisted of five tennis players living in Switzerland and their respective coaches. Players were all performing on a national and four out of five on an international level. Data about players’ emotional states for best and worst performance were collected using the psychobiosocial state (PBS-S) scale. Additional qualitative information related to feeling states, and emotional (selfand interpersonal-) regulation was gathered through semi-structured interviews. Individual profiles were developed and differences in intensity and content overlap for four coach-player dyads were calculated. Results revealed relative high accuracy in coaches to assess the psychobiosocial states of their players in best and worst performances. Differences in intensity, assessed on the modified CR -10 scale, ranged from 0 to 8 across the state modalities with a higher accuracy found for functionally helpful descriptors. Results from the content overlap analysis between dyads revealed scores ranging from . 35 to . 59 (in best performances), and from . 28 and . 47 (worst performances). Higher accuracy was shown for functionally helpful descriptors. Interview data were analysed following the guidelines of interpretative phenomenological analysis (Auerbach & Silverston, 2003; Smith, Jarman & Osborn, 1999). Several behavioral and verbal cues to recognize emotional experiences were identified and specific emotion regulation strategies were reported including reappraisal, cognitive deployment, positive reinforcement, feedback, or relaxation techniques. Interestingly, both coaches and players emphasized the importance of coaches’ characteristic traits such as calmness and empathy. The findings of the present study showed that coaches were able to assess accurately their players’ emotional states and to provide efficient support in regulating players’ emotional states. The study supported the importance of an interpersonal approach in emotion regulation. Future research exploring the association between athletes’ psychobiosocial states and coaches’ emotional intelligence as well as emotional expression is warranted.
Heat Conduction in Novel Electronic Films

Heat conduction in novel electronic films influences the performance and reliability of micromachined transistors, lasers, sensors, and actuators. This article reviews experimental and theoretical research on heat conduction in single-crystal semiconducting and superconducting films and superlattices, polycrystalline diamond films, and highly disordered organic and oxide films. The thermal properties of these films can differ dramatically from those of bulk samples owing to the dependence of the material structure and purity on film processing conditions and to the scattering of heat carriers at material boundaries. Predictions and data show that phonon scattering and transmission at boundaries strongly influence the thermal conductivities of single-crystal films and superlattices, although more work is needed to resolve the importance of strain-induced lattice defects. For polycrystalline films, phonon scattering on grain boundaries and associated defects causes the thermal conductivity to be strongly anisotropic and nonhomogeneous. For highly disordered films, preliminary studies have illustrated the influences of impurities on the volumetric heat capacity and, for the case of organic films, molecular orientation on the conductivity anisotropy. More work on disordered films needs to resolve the interplay among atomic-scale disorder, porosity, partial crystallinity, and molecular orientation.
Will the Real Middle-Aged Woman Please Stand Up? Toward an Understanding of Adult Development in Women.

This document is comprised of papers presented at a symposium on Adult Development in Women. A paper entitled "Women in the Middle Years" reviews the major findings on adult women, and describes what an adequate theory of women in the middle years should account for. Mental health, effects of marriage, children and work, and the interrelationships of these factors are discussed. In elucidating critical stages, the authors consider a developmental framework focusing on women/s role patterns and life stages within the cultural context would be appropriate. The traditional consideration of chronological age, and stereotypes and myths about women, especially the mind-body relationship and the need for marriage and children have impeded model development. Power, and its relationship to a sense of personal control, are central considerations. A paper, "Some Sociological Perspectives on Adult Women" discusses personal roles, multiple roles, and coping and support systems. The conclusion reached is that theories based primarily on data from men do not apply to issues confronting women, and that life tasks, including the "marker events" which trigger a person's concerns with each of these tasks, serve as a focus from which to study the middle years.

A pr 2 01 8 Relativistic probability amplitudes II . The photon

We identify momentum/helicity probability amplitudes for the photon and find their relativistic transformation properties. We also find their behaviour under space inversion and time reversal. The discussion begins with a review of the unitary, irreducible representations of the Poincare group for massless particles. The little group, the set of Lorentz transformations that leave the momentum unchanged, is distinctly different for massless particles compared to the little group of rest frame rotations for a massive particle. We give a physical interpretation of the little group for a massless particle. The explicit forms of the Wigner rotations for general rotations and boosts are given. In normalized superpositions of the basis vectors, we identify the momentum/helicity probability amplitudes, show their probability interpretation and find their transformation properties. We see that position eigenvectors for the photon are not possible, not because of their masslessness but because of their limited helicity spectrum. Instead, to have a measure of localization for the photon, we use the expectations of the electromagnetic field strength operators in a coherent state with a mean photon number of unity. In the construction of the polarization vectors appearing in the field strengths, we see the connection between gauge invariance and Lorentz covariance.
Effects of Four Different Velocity-Based Training Programming Models on Strength Gains and Physical Performance.

ABSTRACT Riscart-López, J, Rendeiro-Pinho, G, Mil-Homens, P, Costa, RS-d, Loturco, I, Pareja-Blanco, F, and León-Prados, JA. Effects of Four different velocity-based training programming models on strength gains and physical performance. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2020-The aim of this study was to compare the effects of 4 velocity-based training (VBT) programming models (linear programming [LP], undulating programming [UP], reverse programming [RP], and constant programming [CP]) on the physical performance of moderately strength-trained men. Forty-three young (age: 22.9 ± 4.8 years; body mass [BM]: 71.7 ± 7.6; full squat [SQ] relative strength 1.32 ± 0.29) subjects were randomly assigned to LP (gradually increase training intensity and decrease volume), UP (volume and intensity increase or decrease repeatedly), RP (gradually increases volume and decrease intensity), and CP (maintains constant volume and intensity) groups and followed an 8-week VBT intervention using the SQ exercise and monitoring movement velocity for every repetition. All groups trained with similar relative average intensity (67.5% 1 repetition maximum [1RM]), magnitude of velocity loss within the set (20%), number of sets (3), and interset recoveries (4 minutes) throughout the training program. Pre-training and post-training measurements included predicted SQ (1RM), average velocity attained for all loads common to pre-tests and post-tests (AV), average velocity for those loads that were moved faster (AV > 1) and slower (AV < 1) than 1 m·s-1 at pre-tests, countermovement jump height (CMJ), and 20-m sprint time (T20). No significant group × time interactions were observed for any of the variables analyzed. All groups obtained similar increases (shown in effect size values) in 1RM strength (LP: 0.88; UP: 0.54; RP: 0.62; CP: 0.51), velocity-load-related variables (LP: 0.74-4.15; UP: 0.46-5.04; RP: 0.36-3.71; CP: 0.74-3.23), CMJ height (LP: 0.35; UP: 0.53; RP: 0.49; CP: 0.34), and sprint performance (LP: 0.34; UP: 0.35; RP: 0.32; CP: 0.30). These results suggest that different VBT programming models induced similar physical performance gains in moderately strength-trained subjects.
Non-Flat Earth Recalibrated for Terrain and Topsoil

Earth’s land surface is raised from conventionally flat 15 Gha to >64 Gha accounting for hilly slope undulation and topsoil relief detail. Three main aspects are: topography, rugosity/tortuosity, and micro-relief/porosity of ice/vegetation-free ground. Recalibration arises from four approaches: First, direct empirical estimates of compiled satellite/LiDAR data means of +2.5–26% surface progressively overlain by +94% at cm2 scale for soil ruggedness then +108% for mm2 micro-relief; Second, from digital elevation models with thrice 1.6–2.0 times flat areas; Third, by ‘reverse engineering’ global soil bulk densities and carbon reserves requiring ×4–6 land. Finally, a Fermi estimation doubles the Earth’s surface—as exposed to Sun, air and rain—conveniently set at 100 Gha (with 64 Gha land:36 Gha ocean). Soil organic carbon (SOC) thereby grows to 8580 Gt mainly in SOM-humus with its biotic complexity plus roots, Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (VAM-fungi), leaf-litter and earthworms itself totaling 17,810 Gt. Although four to six times IPCC’s or NASA/NOAA’s calculated 1500–2300 Gt SOC, this is likely an underestimation. Global biomass and biodiversity are at least doubled (×2–3.5) and net primary productivity (NPP) increases to >270 Gt C yr−1 due to terrain. Rationale for a ‘Soil Ecology Institute’ gains ground.
Toroidalization of locally toroidal morphisms of 3-folds

A toroidalization of a dominant morphism $varphi: Xto Y$ of algebraic varieties over a field of characteristic zero is a toroidal lifting of $varphi$ obtained by performing sequences of blow ups of nonsingular subvarieties above $X$ and $Y$. We give a proof of toroidalization of locally toroidal morphisms of 3-folds.
Interdisciplinarity and Knowledge Networking: Co-Production of Climate-Authoritative Knowledge in Southern South America.

Interdisciplinarity and knowledge networking are at the core of current global, regional, and national initiatives concerning climate. Both scientific knowledge and public participation are essential to enhance the capacity of different sectors and governments to respond to challenges posed by climate variability and change. Exchange and bridge building among disciplinary domains are needed as well as involvement of governmental agents and a variety of stakeholders in knowledge networks and quality assurance processes, with the aim of producing authoritative, relevant, and usable knowledge. This article presents initial results of ongoing research on a recently launched Regional Climate Center for Southern South America (RCC-SSA) that is distinguished by close partnership and continuous interaction. The dynamics of cooperation in this innovative interdisciplinary, interinstitutional, and trans-sector network are being ethnographically documented and their epistemic and political features analyzed. Echoing the World Meteorological Organization, combining perspectives of the meteorological community with diverse interests, expectations, and needs of the many relevant “users” is a core challenge for climate services in the region. Because of the broad diversity of decisions and decision makers, multiple networks of organizations or actors seek involvement of the best available physical, biological, social science, and stakeholder knowledge. They ask not just for predictions but for “translation” of climate information into outcomes of adaptation/mitigation actions. Current collaboration efforts offer lessons on how to understand and conceptualize new trends in research and political practices, with scientists of all backgrounds participating in deliberations involving technical claims and decision making. These lessons underscore the complexity and multilayered nature of difficulties and obstacles involved in co-production of knowledge.
Intermodal Transportation and Supply Chain Efficiency: A Kenyan Perspective

Globalization has forced many firms to restructure their supply chains. Firms now not only operate within national boundaries but across international boundaries. Intermodal transportation holds the solution for this movement within national and across international boundaries. This study was conducted to establish the effect of intermodal transportation among Kenyan firms. A total of 71 Kenyan firms from manufacturing, Distribution and Logistics sectors were involved in the survey. The study findings reveal that Several Kenyan firms utilize more than one mode of transportation to move goods to and from various destinations. Road transport is the most popular mode of transport due to its ability to deliver door to door transportation services. Rail transport is the second most popular mode of transport because of the cost involved in moving goods by rail. It is cheaper than road and air modes. However rail transport suffers from network disadvantages since it serves a few regions in the country. Air transport is also used though by a few firms because it is the most expensive mode of transport. It is commonly used by firms that are engaged in horticultural farming. Water transport is also among the popular modes of transport that is used to transport bulky goods to and from other countries. It is also considered cheaper than all the other modes of transport. Intermodal transportation has enabled most firms to reduce supply chain costs, reduce lead times, engage in cheaper global sourcing of goods and materials, reduce downtimes and maintain steady flow of goods. It has also enabled the firms to get value for money spent. Keywords: Intermodal, Transportation and Efficiency
Basis pursuit

The time-frequency and time-scale communities have recently developed an enormous number of over-complete signal dictionaries, wavelets, wavelet packets, cosine packets, Wilson bases, chirplets, warped bases, and hyperbolic cross bases being a few examples. Basis pursuit is a technique for decomposing a signal into an "optimal" superposition of dictionary elements. The optimization criterion is the l/sup 1/ norm of coefficients. The method has several advantages over matching pursuit and best ortho basis, including super-resolution and stability. <<ETX>>
Rich and Poor: Stability or Change?: West German Income Mobility 1984-93

Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (N=6950), this paper analyses equivalent income mobility in West Germany, 1984-93. Four hypotheses, derived from recent North American research and from sociological theory (stratification theory) are tested. They are: 1. that in West Germany, as in the U.S., the poor are a more stable (less mobile) group than the rich; 2. that, as stratification theory predicts, most moves up and down the income distribution are 'short distance' moves; 3. that income polarization (i.e. a declining middle class) has occurred and; 4. that overall income mobility has not increased in the last decade. All but the last hypothesis proved to be false, so the concluding section assesses the implications of these unexpected results for economic and sociological theory.
DEVIATIONS IN ANGER 3 Daily Deviations in Anger , Guilt , and Sympathy : A Developmental Diary Study of Aggression Children

With a diary study of 4and 8-year-olds, we tested the association between daily deviations in anger and aggressive behavior, and whether this link was moderated by feelings of guilt and sympathy. Caregivers reported their children’s anger and aggression for 10 consecutive days (470 records; N = 80, 53% girls). To calculate daily anger deviations from average anger levels, we subtracted each child’s average anger score (i.e., across 10 days) from his/her daily anger scores. Children reported their guilty feelings in response to vignettes depicting intentional harm, as well as their dispositional sympathy levels. Multilevel modeling indicated that within-child spikes in daily anger were associated with more aggression, above and beyond between-child differences in average anger levels. However, this association was weaker for children who reported higher levels of guilt. Sympathy did not moderate the anger-aggression link. We discuss potential implications for affective-developmental models of aggression and interventions that target anger-related aggression.
Executive functioning among first time and recidivist inmates in Uruguay

Abstract Previous research has found association between antisocial behavior and deficits in executive functioning. However, research into a link between them accounting for criminal history has found divergent results in western countries. The present study sought to determine the severity of executive functioning deficits in offenders compared to a normative sample, and the differences between first time offenders as compared to recidivists in Uruguay using a cross-sectional design. The neuropsychological performance of 334 male adult inmates was assessed using the BRIEF- A and a normative sample of 377. Results indicated that offenders performed significantly worse than non-offenders in the global score and the subscales of the BRIEF-A. Moreover, first time offenders exhibited less performance deficits in cognitive functioning than recidivist offenders. Compared to first time offenders, recidivist showed executive dysfunction concerning behavioral regulation index and globally. These results enhance our knowledge about executive dysfunction associated with criminality and may help to tailor the offenders’ programs to offenders with executive deficits.

The vertical grid incremen1 ia gradually stretched to the top of the domain which ia at 21 km. The latitude of the center of the model ia 20"N. The eea surface temperature ia set to 302 K. The mo:lel temperature ia initialized using an Atlantic hurriclne season sounding (Jordan, 1958). The humidity prolile is slightly moiater than the Jordan (1958) sounding to be more representative of the environment in which hlrricanes usually develop. The model ia initialized with a deep cyclonic vortex in gradient wind balance. 1'he maximum wind speed ia 20 m S-l at a radius of 40 km. For the weak wind shear simulation, a geostrophically balanced horizontally homogeneous westerly wind sh'~ar is prescribed, having zero wind speed at the surface, increasing to 3 m S-l at 12 kID. The fine grid and second grid move 80 as to keep the minimum pressure in 1he center of the domains. 1.
Estimation and Application of Bowen Ratio Fluxes over Crop Surfaces - An Overview

Bowen-ratio (~) is defined as the ratio of sensible heat flux (H} to the latent heat flux (LE) from a surface and its values varies from 0.1 over tropical oceans to greater than 10 over deserts. The Bowen ratio - energy balance (BREB) metllOd is the simple yet most practical method for estimating latent and sensible heat i1uxes from any surface. It is estimated from the principle of conservation of energy and combines measurement oftemperature and vapour pressure gradients apmt from net radiation (QJl) and soil heat flux to give estimate of energy and mass fluxes over a surface. If advection is negligible and P is small and positive, this method measures the surface fluxes accurately. ThiS method is useful in estimating evapotranspiration (ET) oyer canopy in various stages of crop growth as well as LE/QI1' which is a better indicator of crop water demand than either crop coefficient or crop factor. In semi-arid environment, BT esti! llation over the crop surface with non-exchanging psychrometer is comparable to the Iysimetric measurements.
Hilbert Series of Quasiinvariant Polynomials

The space of quasiinvariant polynomials generalize that of symmetric polynomials: under the action of the symmetric group, the polynomials remain invariant to a certain order. We discern the structure and symmetries of quasiinvariant polynomials by way of examining the invariance of relevant polynomial spaces under certain specific group actions. Both pure and computational methods are employed in this pursuit. Felder and Veselov, when studying quasiinvariant polynomials, made a breakthrough discovery in computing their Hilbert series in fields of characteristic 0, and since then, quasiinvariant polynomials have been extensively studied due to their applications in representation theory, algebraic geometry, and mathematical physics. We investigate the Hilbert series of quasiinvariant polynomials that are divisible by a generic homogeneous polynomial. We also continue the previous work regarding their Hilbert series in fields of prime characteristic.
