Increased climate change skepticism among farmers? The roles of motivated cognition and social identity processes
Authors: Hess Fabian M. , Masson Torsten , Majer Johann M.
Published: August 2024

Landwehr and colleagues (2023) surveyed climate change perceptions in Bavaria, focusing on the influence of socio-demographic and local environmental factors. They found that farmers exhibited higher climate change skepticism than other societal actor groups. In our attempt to explain
these findings, we attribute climate change skepticism among farmers to motivated cognitions and social identity processes. Farmers may be motivated to deny climate change due to cognitive dissonance arising from perceptions of being especially affected. Consequently, a climate change skeptical
group norm may have developed among farmers, shaping the attitudes and behaviors of individual group members, which is potentially intensified by perceived intergroup contrasts in political conflicts. We propose that climate-skeptical attitudes are context-dependent and can be changed through
inducing intrapersonal conflicts or social identity-based interventions. Understanding farmers’ group dynamics, motivated cognitions, and efficacy beliefs is crucial for effective climate change communication and policy implementation, in order to counter skepticism and promote pro-environmental
action.
El remedio de la suspensión ante el incumplimiento
Authors: López Tur Teresa
Published: August 2024

Gracias a la excepción de contrato incumplido (o no correctamente cumplido), es sabido que en nuestro Derecho esa vicisitud contractual ofrece a la parte perjudicada la posibilidad de rehusar el cumplimiento de su propia obligación mientras perdure esa falta de cumplimiento por la contraparte. Es el refusal to perform del Derecho inglés. Naturalmente, y a la inversa, ninguna de las partes puede reclamar de la otra el cumplimiento de la obligación sin cumplir u ofrecer el cumplimiento de la propia. Aunque el Código civil no regule esta herramienta de manera expresa, doctrina y jurisprudencia la entienden implícita en el sistema. Presente en el DRAFT Common Frame of Reference, da la impresión de que la suspensión ha convivido eclipsada por los restantes remedios contractuales (el cumplimiento en forma específica, la reducción del precio, y sobre todo, la resolución del contrato y la indemnización de daños y perjuicios). Por eso era preciso un mayor detenimiento en la figura, y a eso precisamente se dedica la monografía de la doctora Lopez Tur, que aborda en detalle la variada tipología de supuestos (tanto en el Derecho “clásico” de contratos como en el moderno Derecho de contratos con consumidores y usuarios), la relación de la suspensión con otras instituciones de interés como son el derecho de retención, la mora y hasta la prescripción extintiva. Particular interés presentan las propuestas de lege ferenda que ofrece la autora. Teresa López Tur es profesora de Derecho civil de la Universidad de las Islas Baleares, ha ejercido la abogacía en firmas importantes y ha centrado el objeto de su actividad investigadora tanto en temas clásicos del Derecho de obligaciones o del Derecho de la economía matrimonial, pero también tiene interesantes aportaciones al Derecho sanitario, la responsabilidad civil, la inteligencia artificial y la protección de datos.

Palabra e imagen en la literatura infantil
Authors: Rodríguez de Agüero Delgado Ana
Published: August 2024

Palabra e imagen en la literatura infantil trata sobre algunos aspectos teóricos de la literatura infantil: su estatuto científico, las notas definitorias que la caracterizan (la singularidad del lenguaje y, muy especialmente, el empleo de la imagen, tanto mental como visual, en estas obras dirigidas a los niños, o de las que los niños se han apropiado), los géneros y subgéneros en que puede clasificarse, los protagonistas que la hacen posible y, por último, la crítica y el imaginario subyacente. Cuestiones como la de los orígenes de la literatura infantil, su relación con aspectos aparentemente tan opuestos como la enseñanza y el juego, o los criterios con los que pueden seleccionarse las obras que forman el corpus de la literatura infantil integran el primero de los cinco epígrafes de la obra, donde tiene un peso importante la que ha sido llamada la cuestión canónica. En el segundo capítulo se abordan las singularidades de la literatura infantil, una vez ha quedado establecida la premisa de la que parte la obra: no es literatura infantil si no es literatura. El lenguaje y la imagen son analizados con mayor profundidad: la vinculación del humor con la literatura para niños, y la distinción entre imagen mental e imagen visual o ilustración, forman parte importante de la teoría propuesta. Respecto de los géneros, se ha optado por una aproximación clásica, siguiendo la preceptiva tradicional trimembre y añadiendo un cuarto género o género híbrido, compuesto por obras donde palabra e imagen comparten el peso narrativo, de forma que lo contado es ininteligible sin la lectura de ambos códigos, textual y visual. Las figuras que hacen posible la existencia de una literatura infantil –escrita para los niños o de la que estos se han apropiado– son, claro está, autor e ilustrador (que en muchos casos comparten la autoría de la obra, en la que a veces influye decisivamente también el editor), y también un lector niño que necesita del adulto mediador para acceder a la obra: esta es una singularidad determinante de este tipo de literatura. El último capítulo de la obra aborda el estudio de la crítica literaria de obras infantiles, y termina –«saliendo por un callejoncito/ y entrando por otro más bonito», como dice la fórmula tradicional para acabar el cuento– con el intento de sintetizar un imaginario de la literatura infantil.
More Than Words: The Significances of K-Pop Idols’ Quotes in Relation to Their Songs

Published: August 2024

This abstract discusses the significance of quotes from K-Pop idols and their relationship to the songs sung. This analysis aims to analyze the relationship between quotes from K-Pop idols and the messages contained in their songs to understand their impact on fans and K-Pop culture more broadly. To find out the coherence and types of quotes expressed, this research explains the strength of the quotes expressed by K-Pop idols and how the quotes are in harmony with K-Pop idol songs. This research uses a descriptive-qualitative research design. The data is in textual form, as seen from quotes written and transcribed from idols as well as song lyrics from idols. The data obtained are 5 song lyrics and 5 quotes taken from YouTube, Twitter, Lysn Bubble, concerts, and merchandise. Data analysis techniques by Spradley (2016) were used in this research. The four stages of analysis are domain, taxonomy, component, and search for cultural themes. The results of this analysis showed that quotes from RM used more personal pronouns and nouns, and the first quote that RM said was an emotional quote, which was categorized as a weak quote by DeFrank, Bivona, Chiaraluce, and Kahlbaugh (2019). The song's lyrics convey a message about self-confidence, strengthen the concept of personal agency, and emphasize the individual's ability to form emotions. The coherence of the two is mutually reinforcing the concept of loving themselves and believing that they can do anything according to their wishes and reality.
Memori Kultural dalam Puisi-Puisi Taufiq Ismail: Keluarga, Kampung Halaman, dan Kampus
Authors: Fajar Yusri
Published: August 2024

This article investigates the cultural memory depicted in the poems of Taufiq Ismail in his book Tirani dan Benteng. Extensive research has been conducted on the social and political themes, nature and environmental aspects, and intrinsic elements in Ismail's poems. Hence, this essay will specifically examine how Ismail portrays cultural memories in the speaker’s poem, pertaining to his personal and societal experiences that have engulfed his life both in the past and today. The researcher uses the theory of cultural memory to scrutinize the poems. Data collection is conducted using document study. The researcher engages in meticulous examination, carefully chooses and categorizes the poems from the volume of Tirani dan Benteng that align with the specific emphasis of the cultural memory issues, and subsequently analyzes them using the content analysis approach. The research findings revealed that three poems by Ismail Taufiq, including Potret Keluarga, Jam Kota, and Alma Mater, shed light on the speaker and evoked his memories of his family, hometown, and campus. Taufik Ismail effectively accentuates the reimagination of collective memories through the utilization of familial objects, the surrounding landscape, the development of the city, and historical university buildings. The cultural memory that initially surfaced from the individual's memory point to a shared (cultural) memory that links to a social bond with family members, significant historical events in the hometown, and the nexus with other students during their study at the university.
Indigenous Populations, Plantations, and Agrarian Conflicts in Rural North Maluku during the Colonial Period from the 17th to the 20th Century
Authors: Rahman A.
Published: August 2024

North Maluku's history is marked by conflicts between the indigenous people and colonial rulers, spanning from the 17th century to the early 20th century. These conflicts were primarily driven by the seizure of agricultural lands and plantations, especially for clove and nutmeg spices, as well as forest areas and their products in rural areas. The colonial rulers' monopolistic practices, often enforced through contracts or agreements of cooperation and friendship, primarily benefited the colonial government and private sector. This situation led to growing unrest, anxiety, and pressure among the indigenous population, impacting them socially, economically, and politically. Various forms of indigenous resistance emerged, including rebellions and wars. This article explores several key questions: How did agrarian conflicts on indigenous plantation lands in rural North Maluku arise? What was the involvement of indigenous and colonial authorities in these conflicts? What were the impacts and processes for resolving these conflicts? The research findings indicate that agrarian conflicts arose due to several factors. First, the colonial rulers' monopolistic practices, enforced through contracts and cooperation agreements, only benefited the colonial side. Second, the indigenous people's lives were increasingly burdened by colonial social, economic, political, and military policies. Third, colonial rulers deliberately provoked disruptions in the relationships between local kings, native rulers, and their people. This article is based on source studies and field research from the colonial period, utilizing historical research methods: heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The colonial and imperialist spirit, with its liberal capitalist views, significantly restricted indigenous freedoms to cultivate spices on their own plantations and manage forest products like resin. Additionally, indigenous people were prohibited from conducting trade with other traders, including fellow natives, traders from other parts of the archipelago, and foreign traders other than the Dutch.
From Bengal to Java: Raffles’ Landrente in Indonesian Agrarian System
Authors: Juwono Harto
Published: August 2024

The issues of land ownership taxes hold in a distinctive position within Indonesian legal framework, with historical roots extending from Indonesia’s Independence to the colonial era. Originating during the British ruled Java from 1811 to 1816, British Lieutenant Governor-General Thomas Stamford Raffles introduced the concept of landrente for a tax on land. This study endeavors to explore the historical evolution of land ownership taxes with the Indonesian legal system, tracing its inception from the colonial era to contemporary times. The historical method based on archival materials, legal documents and historical records, have been employed. After criticizing the archival sources that used, the interpretation will be applied for getting some historical facts. Based on these facts, reconstruction as a final phase of the method will be built. A comprehensive historical overview of the evolution of land ownership taxes in Indonesia has been revealed, traversing the colonial period to contemporary times. The transition from landrente to grondbelasting marks a pivotal shift in tax principles and individual property rights. The underlying principle is the fact that all land was owned by government, while the people could only work on. As a form of rent for the land, the people had to give a part of the proceeds to the government. Collection system followed the system that used by The British East India Company in Bengal, namelythrough the zamindar. In Java, Raffles submitted to the colonial officials in the local level.
Dynamics of the Indonesian Parliament in Formulating Food Laws to Achieve Food Security at the End of the New Order
Authors: Pramestuti Agustina Wilujeng , Rochwulaningsih Yety , Sulistiyono Singgih Tri
Published: August 2024

The Indonesian draft law on food explicitly recognizes food as a basic human need and a fundamental right for every citizen. Staple foods are also commodities that significantly influence the nation's economic life. Therefore, food issues in Indonesia have always been a government concern. In the early days of independence, Indonesia faced the threat of a food crisis. This ongoing threat has consistently garnered attention from both the executive and legislative branches throughout various eras. Using a historical method, this article outlines the dynamics of the Indonesian parliament during the New Order era in formulating food laws. The urgency of these laws lies in regulating food production and distribution to ensure the fulfillment of the Indonesian people's food needs. Furthermore, government policies should ideally be oriented towards food sovereignty. Research findings reveal that the Food Law formulated and passed at the end of the New Order era actually attempted to be oriented towards food security and was critical of capitalism. This can be seen from the opinions of the factions in parliament during the formulation of the Food Law.
Ambonsche Studiefonds and Sarekat Ambon as Forums for Moluccan Nationalists to Initiate Indonesian Independence Movement
Authors: Touwe Sem , Manik Kresna , Lasaiba Mohammad Amin , Pattiasina Johan
Published: August 2024

This research examines the role of the Ambonsche Studiefonds and Sarekat Ambon organizations in fostering nationalism among Maluku natives and in the struggle for Indonesian independence. Using the historical method, this research explores how the Ethical Policy introduced by the Dutch East Indies government influenced the emergence of pro-independence organizations and how they played a role in mobilizing resistance to colonialism. The Ethical Policy, motivated by the Dutch' debt of honor' towards its colonies, opened up access to education for natives and indirectly encouraged national consciousness. The results show that the Ambonsche Studiefonds played a role in expanding access to education for Maluku natives, thus increasing nationalist awareness among them. In addition, Sarekat Ambon became an essential forum for resistance after the transfer of its headquarters to Surabaya, which contributed to the struggle for Indonesian independence. This research also highlights the existence of the Malukan nationalist movement despite many of its members being victims of torture by the Japanese occupation army. Their loyalty and fighting spirit ultimately contributed to Indonesia's independence in 1945. Based on the findings in the heuristic process, this research emphasizes the importance of understanding and appreciating the role of Malukan nationalists in the history of Indonesia's independence struggle. It is hoped that the results of this research can inspire the younger generation to uphold the spirit of nationalism and national unity in facing contemporary challenges.
History and National Integration: A Study of Collective Memory of Tamiang Monuments in Medan 1894
Authors: Rahman Aulia , Ibrahim Husaini , Prasetyo Okhaifi , Usman Usman , Riyani Mufti
Published: August 2024

This paper focuses on the historical exploration and collective memory of the Tamiang Monument in Medan, Indonesia. This paper examines how monuments can build collective memory and link history to people's lives at a certain time so that it can be interpreted. Through historical methods, the study results show that the Tamiang Monument plays an essential role in the inheritance of collective memory about the conquest of Tamiang as part of the Aceh region by the Dutch colonialists. The monument is an important symbol to remind people of the greatness and courage in the struggle against the colonizers. However, after the Tamiang Monument was destroyed, all narratives and reminders of the Tamiang War were lost. The loss of this monument also has implications for the loss of the values of the legacy of tenacity, fighting spirit, and collective identity associated with this important event. Therefore, it is important to rebuild the Tamiang Monument as an initial step to revive collective memory and pass on the values of struggle to the younger generation. Monuments play an important role in building and maintaining the community's collective identity and strengthening the historical awareness of the Tamiang and Aceh communities.

Published: August 2024

The present study aimed to identify the DNA polymorphisms within prolactin gene regions of Gaolao cattle and to investigate their relation with milk production traits. The genomic DNA was isolated from 245 unrelated animals of Gaolao cows, and test-day milk traits data were recorded. PCRRFLP, PCR-SSCP and direct sequencing methods for mutation confirmation were used to study polymorphism within the prolactin gene. The PCR-RFLP genotyping at the exon-3 region of the prolactin gene revealed polymorphism and found an association of the PRLG1-RsaI ‘AA’ genotype with milk yield (5.05±0.14*) in Gaolao cattle. The exon-4, intron-3,4, Exon-5, 5'flanking, and exon-1 regions of prolactin revealed SSCP polymorphisms and SNPs. The results of the study indicate the existence of a substantial amount of genetic variation within the above-studied regions of the prolactin candidate gene. The identified association at PRLG1-RsaI genotype with milk yield will aid in future geneassisted selection and improvement strategies in Gaolao indigenous cattle.

Published: August 2024

The present study evaluated the effect of training to livestock handlers on electroencephalogram (EEG) and plasma enzymes levels during preslaughter handling in goats. Six handlers were divided into three groups viz., trained (T-trained in basic animal handling practices, animal behavior, and animal welfare principles), contact trained (CT-not trained directly but interacted and saw the working of trained handlers), and untrained (UT-no formal training). Eighteen Boer cross bucks were used in the study by following a cross-over design and electroencephalogram spectrum, creatine kinase (CK), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) concentrations were recorded before handling (in lairage) and after handling (at slaughter point). The training of livestock handlers had a significant (p<0.05) effect on the total power (Ptot) and median frequency (MF) of the EEG spectrum. Whereas no significant (p>0.05) change was recorded in the alpha, beta, delta, theta, and gamma bands activity. The goats handled by trained handlers exhibited significantly (p<0.05) lower CK and LDH concentrations than goats handled by CT and UT handlers, thereby indicating higher preslaughter stress in goats handled by CT and UT groups. Therefore, the current study emphasizes the significance of providing training to livestock handlers in order to mitigate preslaughter stress levels in goats.

Published: August 2024

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of modified rice bran tempeh on performance, carcass quality, organoleptic properties, fat deposition, and nutritional meat composition in broiler. This research used a completely randomized design. Two hundred broilers (a male to female ratio of 1:1) were divided into 4 treatment groups with 5 replications for each treatment, as follows: P1 = Feed without modified rice bran tempeh; P2 = Feed with 20% rice bran tempeh; P3 = Feed with 20% modified rice bran tempeh; and; P4 = Feed with 25% modified rice bran tempeh. The experimental results showed that all treatment groups had similar performance. The treatments significantly reduced (P<0.05) abdominal fat and total fat deposition. In addition, the treatments also significantly reduced meat fat and ash content (P<0.01), but it significantly increased (P<0.01) moisture contents. It was concluded that feeding 20% or 25% modified rice bran tempeh reduced meat fat content and fat deposition without reducing broiler performance.

Dari Minoritas ke Mayoritas: Asimilasi dan Integrasi Orang Indo-Eropa di Indonesia, 1950-1959
Authors: Rooyackers Max
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the integration and assimilation trajectories of Indonesian citizens of European descent in the aftermath of the national revolution. Focusing on the Partai Indo Nasional (PIN) and the Indo-Eenheids Verbond (IEV), later transformed into the Gabungan Indo untuk Kesatuan Indonesia (GIKI-IEV), the research explores the divergent strategies adopted by these two prominent organizations to navigate their post-colonial identity. While both groups sought integration into Indonesian society, their approaches varied significantly. PIN prioritized legal assimilation without imposing cultural uniformity, whereas GIKI-IEV emphasized social work and education as avenues for both integration and cultural adaptation. Despite facing numerous internal and external challenges, the assimilation process accelerated after 1959, coinciding with the dissolution of both organizations. Their contrasting perspectives on national culture and integration fostered internal divisions and influenced the broader contours of Indo-European assimilation in Indonesia.
Dampak Ekonomi dan Pembangunan Infrastruktur Pascapemekaran Wilayah Kecamatan Rowokangkung Tahun 1992-2020
Authors: Arsalam Dawud
Published: August 2024

The formation of Rowokangkung District in Lumajang Regency in 1992 was a product of Indonesia's decentralization policy. This study examines the district's economic and infrastructural development following its establishment to assess the policy's effectiveness. Employing a historical research methodology, the study reveals that while the district has experienced some infrastructural improvements, such as irrigation, roads, and electricity, economic growth has remained predominantly agrarian-based. A key finding is the top-down nature of the district's formation, with limited community involvement in the decision-making process. This lack of participatory governance contributed to a mismatch between policy planning and local needs, ultimately hindering economic development.The territorial splits policy tends to be top-down without involving substantial community and local government participation. This indicates a gap between planning policies and real needs at the local level. Limited economic impact: Although the wheels of government are running well, the expansion has not been able to drive significant economic growth in Rowokangkung District
Energy performance of metallic tubular systems under reverse complex loading paths
Authors: Baleh Rachid
Published: August 2024

This experimental study examines the effect of a novel severe multiaxial loading path on the plastic buckling of copper (CuTWC) and aluminum (AlTWC) thin-walled tubular structures to improve their energy-dissipating capacity. The study presents a new variant of the patented compression-torsion rig (ACTP) in the alternating mode for the torsion component, called ACTP-S. This variant increases the loading complexity, resulting in enhanced energy absorption. The component’s loading complexities range from moderate mode to severe biaxial mode, tested under quasi-static (5 mm/min) and dynamic (9 m/s) regimes, thanks to its S-shaped helices. After analyzing the results, it is clear that the strength of the tested structures increased with greater load complexity for both regimes. Additionally, each system exhibited a higher energy absorption capacity. For example, the CuTWC and AlTWC experienced a 47 and 91% increase, respectively, under the most severe biaxial mode compared to the reference tube, which was tested under uniaxial loading. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the new ACTP-S device, considering the specific sensitivity of each material to the loading path complexity.
Long-term economic outlook for Japan, as impacted by COVID-19

Published: August 2024

Due to COVID-19, Japan’s GDP decreased by 4.5% in 2020 from 0.7% in 2019. The economy increased by 1.7% in 2021, stagnated at 1.4% in 2022, and is expected to grow at 1.8% in 2023 and to slowdown to 0.9% in 2024, based on the January 2023 forecasts of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). IMF’s January 2023 report is based on inflation peaking with low growth due to rising interest rates. In January 2021, a year into the COVID-19 pandemic period, the IMF was hopeful, predicting a V-shaped growth pattern of 3.1% for 2021 and 2.4% for 2022 due to policy stimulus and the availability of vaccines. However, this did not materialize due to various geopolitical and economic shocks. The economic costs of the COVID-19 pandemic relative to its absence are estimated to be at least US$1.1 trillion (¥160 trillion) until 2030 under a continued low economic growth future path. Moreover, the estimated US$1.1 trillion economic loss is equivalent to the erasure of approximately 30% of GDP produced in 2019 during the Abenomics era. If in the absence of the pandemic, the economy was assumed to have a high growth, the losses would reach US$ 4.8 trillion (¥706 trillion) due to the lost opportunity of a high-growth counterfactual trajectory.

Introduction: Racial stress is a form of race-based stress triggered by real or perceived discriminatory racial encounters experienced directly or vicariously. Racial stress symptoms resemble post-traumatic stress disorder, which is linked to significant cognitive and emotional disturbances. Objectives: This study investigated the relationship between racial stress symptoms and executive functioning. It explored the moderating effects of potentially protective factors like racial socialization processes, ethnic identity, and proportion of time spent in Canada (PTSC). Methods: Seventy-three participants (M = 29.01 years, SD = 11.10 years; 42 women, 30 men, and one non-binary) were recruited through purposive and convenience sampling and subsequently completed online measures of racial stress, executive functioning (EF), ethnic identity, and racial socialization. Demographic data were also collected. Results: About 20% of participants reported clinically significant symptoms in at least one racial stress domain. Racial stress, executive functioning, and racial socialization were significantly associated. Ethnic identity and racial socialization were significantly associated. Ethnic identity and PTSC moderated the relationship between racial stress and EF in such a way that lower levels of ethnic identity and higher PTSC, respectively, predicted a worse effect of racial stress on two domains of EF. Conclusion: Racialized individuals experience high levels of racial socialization. Although there are differences in those levels across and within minoritized communities, these high levels of racial stress likely lead to executive dysfunction akin to traditional stress. Environmental variables like minority status and high rates of discrimination likely contribute to this association. Specific aspects of the psychological impact of racial discrimination on EF are moderated by PTSC and ethnic identity.
Perspectives on Cultural Competency and Black Canadians’ Access to Mental Health Care in Canada: A Thematic Analysis
Authors: Whyte Kameryn
Published: August 2024

Objectives: The aim of this research was to explore the extent to which cultural competency is practised within Canadian mental health care by mental health professionals with respect to Black Canadians and African Nova Scotians. In addition, the study sought to determine how to improve Canadian mental health care for inclusivity of Black Canadians. Design: Five adult participants were recruited, with recruitment criteria involving self-identification as either “African Nova Scotian” or “Black Canadian,” or as a mental health professional with experience working with these populations. Participants were interviewed in a one-to-one setting using a semi-structured interview guide. Results: A thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006) yielded three superordinate themes and eight subordinate themes. The superordinate themes were “No Blacks Allowed,” “Bad Apples (Spoil the Bunch),” and “Intrinsic Understanding.” Taken together, the themes suggest that while participants recognized the importance of cultural awareness training and understanding, and indicated an interest in implementing mandatory cultural awareness training for mental health professionals, the implementation of cultural competency in the practice of the mental health system in Canada remains elusive. Conclusion: The findings were that Black Canadians and African Nova Scotians are experiencing barriers to their accessibility of mental health care in Canada. The barriers are related to a lack of cultural awareness from mental health professionals. The findings suggest that Canadian mental health care could benefit from the implementation of cultural competency training.

Objectives
Over the last two decades, women's football has become increasingly established and recognised. The demands of women's football have increased significantly, with a significant development in terms of quantity, including improved fitness performances and a greater number of matches and players throughout the season. Movements in women's football consist of a large number of directional changes. In this study, the effect of dominant leg on Change of Direction (COD) performance in young female footballers was investigated.
Materials and Methods
Twenty (mean±SDage17.1±1.56 years, body weight:55.7±4.94kg, height:1.61±0.05 m) young female football players participated in the study. The players performed change of direction tests at different angles (45°-90°-135°-180°) on a 10-meter track, knee flexion (KFRS) and extension isometric strength tests (KERS), and asymmetric depth jump tests (ADJ). Athletes performed all tests with both the dominant leg (DL) and non-dominant leg (NDL). In the analysis of the data, Parametric Dependent Samples T-test statistical analysis was used to determine the differences between DL and NDL performances, and correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationships between the tests.
Results
It was observed that COD performance of female football players with DL (5-10mP=0.000-0.009,t=2.924-4.802,ES:0.44-0.59and,0-10mP=0.000-0.030t=2.351-6.757,ES:0.33-0.59) were better than the NDL. DL’s KERS (Extension=6.4%kg,t=4.947) and KFRS (Flexion=12.7% kg,t=4.406ES:0.77-0.82), ADJ contact time (CT) (CT=-16.4%(ms),t=-22.601) and flight time (FT) (FT=%17,6(ms),t=22.931ES:0.64-0.75) tests showed better performance than NDL’s. Significant relationship was found between DL KFRS and DL's 45 degrees (5-10m r=,715**0-10mr =,520*P<0.05), 135 degrees (5-10m r=,562**0-10m r=,533*P<0.05), and 180 degrees (5-10mr=,687**0-10m r =,622 ** P<0.05) COD values. Significant relationship was found between DL KERS and DL's 45 degrees (5-10m r=,566**; 0-10m r=,502*P <0.05) and 180 degrees (5-10m r=,495*,P<0.05) COD values.
Conclusions
When the findings were examined, it was determined that change of direction performance with dominant leg was better than with non-dominant leg in female football players. This is thought to be due to the DL’s ability to generate more isometric strength during COD.

Authors: Cengız Recep , Er Batuhan
Published: August 2024

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between exercise dependence and loneliness levels of fitness individuals. For this purpose, 300 individuals, 104 women and 196 men (Mean Age = 27.13 ± 9.866) who were fitness participants, were included in the study. The Exercise Dependence Scale-21, whose Turkish validity and reliability was provided by Yeltepe and Can İkizler (2007), and the UCLA Loneliness Scale-III, whose Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Durak and Durak (2010), were used as measurement tools in the study. Descriptive statistics, Pearson Correlation test and simple linear regression analyzes were used to analyze the data, using the SPSS 25 package program. When the results were examined, a negative relationship was found between exercise dependence sub-dimensions and total score and loneliness. Additionally, the loneliness variable was found to be a significant predictor of exercise dependence. As a result, it was concluded that the exercise dependence of the participating individuals was related to their loneliness levels and that their loneliness levels affected exercise dependence. It is possible to say that the loneliness levels of individuals participating in fitness interact with their exercise dependence.
