Examinations of the words we use in our daily lives have shown that certain linguistic patterns may be indicators of underlying depressogenic schemata. The Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) and multidimensional scaling (MDS) have been used as methods of computerized text analysis to yield insight into how people's language use may be reflective of maladaptive psychological processes, including self-focused attention, rumination, and absolutist thinking, which are all associated with the depressogenic schemata. These findings demonstrate the significance of analyzing people's language use in the mental health profession. Research in this interdisciplinary field of natural language processing, applied linguistics, and mental health not only corroborates psychological theories regarding depression but further yields implications for prevention, diagnosis, and outcome predictions of mental health depression and anxiety.

Media discourse has been attracting numerous conversation analysts' attention within the past one or two decades (e.g., Clayman &amp; Heritage, 2002; Hutchby, 2006). TV talk shows, as a &quot;semi-institutional&quot; context which contains coexisting features of both daily conversation and institutional language (Ilie, 2001), has particularly aroused many scholars' interest. In talk shows, hosts exploit various interactional practices to elicit their guests' responses. This paper uses a conversation analytic framework to examine one specific interviewer practice--the designedly incomplete utterance (DIU) (Koshik, 2002)--in the context of TV talk shows. Three uses of DIUs by talk show hosts are identified: (1) to facilitate a (more extended) response (2) to initiate collaborative turn completion, and (3) to avoid repeating questions that have already been asked in prior turns.

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of obesity and the level of association between body mass index (BMI) and total skinfold thickness (TST) in physically active (PA) and sedentary boys and girls aged between 8-14 years. This relationship was tested by Spearman rank order correlation. In both genders, the lower obesity tendency between the ages of 8 and 11 years reached the highest level at the age of 12 years. In sedentary boys, the relationship between BMI and TST at 9 and 11 years old was at the highest level whereas it was the lowest level at 12 and 14 years old. In PA boys, there was a high-level relationship between BMI and TST at 9 and 10 years, and this relationship was the lowest at 12 and 14 years. In PA girls, the relationship between BMI and TST of 9, 10, and 11 years was at the highest and was the lowest at 12 and 13 years. In sedentary girls, the relationship between BMI and TST from 8 to 14 years tends to increase slightly. In conclusion, BMI and TST measurements cannot be used alternately in the evaluation of body composition of inactive and sedentary children aged 8-14 years.

The aim of this research is to reveal the accumulation of musical culture of preschool teachers and to get their viewpoints about music culture. The sub-objectives of the research are consisted of finding answers to &quot;To what extent pre-school teachers support the music activities in the city where they work&quot;, &quot;how often they participate in these music activities&quot;, &quot;what it means to have music culture accumulation in their individual life and educational life&quot;. This research was conducted with a survey model and the sample of the research constitutes 221 pre-school teachers studying in Afyonkarahisar city center while its sample is consisted of 55 preschool teachers. The questionnaire was applied to the pre-school teachers who were selected as the sampling in terms of determining their views about music culture and accumulation of their music culture. The data gained from this study was analyzed by a package program named as IBM SPSS statistics version 20. While investigating the relationships among the nominal variable groups, chi-square analysis was performed. On the condition that the expected values in the entries of the 2*2 tables did not have the sufficient volume, Fisher's exact test was used, while in the RxC tables Pearson chi-square analysis was performed with the help of Monte Carlo Simulation. Thus, the existing situation has been determined and what it should be has been found out. This music culture survey involves questions such as &quot;How the pre-school teachers' musical education in the undergraduate study period affects their musical cultures&quot;, &quot;What kind of music they listen&quot;, &quot;At what level they follow the music activities&quot; and &quot;How musical cultures influence their professional areas and their general life&quot;. This study sheds light on the fact that it is necessary to propose and improve the preschool education program in pre-school teacher education period in terms of music culture and music education, and has fundamental aspects in relation to being a source for the future studies on music culture.

This study aims to obtain information about the modelling situations related to the topic by performing concentration analysis of teacher candidates' responses to Force Concept Inventory (FCI). The research was conducted using survey model, which is a quantitative research method. The study was carried out in the fall semester of the academic year 2015-2016 among 95 freshman teacher candidates enrolled in the Science Education Program of the Faculty of Education at a university in the Western Black Sea region. The data collection tool employed was FCI. In this context, concentration score, concentration factor and concentration deviation formulas were used. In light of the results obtained, it was determined that the responses of teacher candidates correspond to the null model, meaning that it is a result of a random reaction. It was suggested that this method of analysis could be used to develop more effective multiple-choice tests and comprehensively assess the learning situation of a class in depth.

The relationship between communication, self-esteem and the attitude towards music teaching, which are all necessary features for a music teaching candidate, has been observed for students in the music teaching program in the TRNC. The data for the communication skills of 66 students studying music teaching in Near East University and Girne American University have been obtained through a &quot;Communication Skills Inventory&quot;, the data for their self-esteem has been obtained through the &quot;Rosenberg Self-esteem Inventory&quot; and their attitude towards music teaching has been measured through the &quot;Scale for the Attitude towards Music Teaching&quot;. The data analyzed using a t-test, Pearson correlation, and one-way ANOVA. A weak correlation between attitude and communication skills, a weak correlation between attitude and self-esteem and a moderate correlation between self-esteem and communication skills was determined. The attitude, self-esteem and skill scores do not seem to change depending on the gender or the high school from which the student graduated. The communication skills scores seem to decrease as the classes increase.

To assess the acute effect of strength exercises combined with EMS on blood flow and muscle stiffness using SMI and SWE. This prospective study included 20 participants. Subjects were divided into groups base on calisthenics strength training with EMS and without EMS. Rectus femoris (RF) blood flow was measured at rest and post-exercise with the vascularity index (%) and stiffness was measured in kPa mode to compare the groups. When values are compared at rest and post-exercise, all cases had significantly increased blood flow and stiffness increase in RF post-exercise (resting mean VI [%]: 1.42±0.58 and post-exercise mean VI [%]: 5.36±3.03; resting mean stiffness [kPa]: 8.85±1.38) and post-exercise mean stiffness [kPa]: 10.57±1.79). The blood flow and stiffness values in the group with EMS and exercise had greater increases than the group with exercise without EMS (p=0.007, p=0.05, respectively). Calisthenics strength training increases RF blood flow and stiffness in the acute period. SMI and SWE are beneficial and practical radiological methods that may be used to show these variations. Strength exercises using EMS may be associated with better athletic performance.

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of the body mass index in children between the ages of 7-10 on their physical activity levels. The target population of the study is children between the ages of 7 and 10. The sample population consists of children between the ages of 7 and 10 who continue their primary education in various primary schools in Cankaya district of Ankara province in Turkey. 508 students voluntarily participated in the survey. The physical activity level was measured using the pedometer device for 3 days of the week and the mean was identified by taking the average. The questionnaire developed by the researcher was conducted to determine the daily life habits of the sample population. Statistical calculations were made using the SPSS package program 23. As a result of the Anova analysis performed according to the age variable, a significant difference was found between the children's physical activity levels at p&lt;0.01 level. There is a significant negative correlation between physical activity level and body mass index (r = -0,730) at the p&lt;0,001 level. A significant negative correlation was found between the level of physical activity and daily use of computer or smartphone (r = -0125) at level p&lt;0.05. A significant negative correlation was found between the level of physical activity and the habit of playing on the playground or on the street (r = -0,094) at level p&lt;0.05. As a result, it can be said that the children's body mass index values are healthy and their levels of physical activity is found to be vigorously active. In addition, it is thought that there is a positive increase in physical activity level by decreasing the screen time by using television, computer and phone less.

Transformational leadership has been shown to impact a wide range of outcomes in sport. Previously, researchers have begun to examine the mechanisms by which transformational leadership exerts its impact on followers. However, there is still little known about the mediating variables between transformational leadership and followers' performance. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to examine the relationship between transformational leadership and the leader-inspired extra effort with the potential mediating role of the coach-athlete relationship in college basketball players. The differentiated transformational leadership inventory (DTLI) was used to assess college coaches' leadership behaviours and the coach-athlete relationship questionnaire (CART-Q) was used to examine the athletes' perceptions of the relationship with their current coach. Accordingly, the leader-inspired extra effort scale (LIEE) was used to investigate the college basketball players' perception of their effort. The sample comprised 78 college basketball players (43 men, 35 women; M[subscript age] = 21.60, SD = 3.05). Results did not provide support for full mediation except the direct effects between individual consideration and leader-inspired extra effort had a significant relationship (ß = 0.491; SE = 0.143, p &lt; 0.01) as well as the individual consideration and the closeness (ß = 0.069; SE = 0.101, p &lt; 0.01). The results highlight that coaches and educators should endeavour to display transformational leadership behaviours as they are related to coach and athlete relationship on the athletic effort.

The transition towards a sustainable economy has given a new term &quot;green competences&quot;. Green competences build upon the foundation of core competences including literacy, numeracy, communication, teamwork and problem-solving - which along with awareness of environmental issues and entrepreneurship, facilitate lifelong learning and adaptability to environmental change (Marsden, Medhurst &amp; Irving, 2014). Organizing experiential learning activities is not new to the learning environment in higher education institutions in the world. However, it would be a new approach to some cultures like Vietnam, where most of students are not familiar with studying in proactive and experiential ways. Experiential learning activities provide students with opportunities to self - construct their competences from experience. This article describes a brief theoretical approach to core competence and experiential learning activities (Project-Based Learning, Learning Games) for developing core competencies (problem-solving, teamwork) of technical students at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education (HCMUTE) in Vietnam. In addition, qualitative (observation and interview) and quantitative methods were used to describe a progression of improving core competences of technical students. Finally, minor suggestions for lecturers to develop core competences of technical students through organizing experiential learning activities by carefully considering a consistency of learning outcomes, teaching-learning activities and assessment according to the &quot;Conceive Design Implement Operation&quot; (CDIO) approach to engineering education at HCMUTE were given.

In the most general sense, mathematical thinking can be defined as using mathematical techniques, concepts, and methods, directly or indirectly, in the problem-solving process. In this study, efforts were made to include the Graph Theory of mathematics, which is found abundantly in physics, chemistry, computer networks, economics, administrative science, data communication, transportation planning, engineering, and similar areas of daily life, into the mathematics instruction process. Because suitable problems are selected in graph theory, the mathematical thinking skills of the students can be developed. A fundamental, qualitative research approach was adopted in this study, in which the mathematical thinking processes of 12th-grade students were examined. Two girls and two boys with average and high mathematics success who were in the 12th grade of a public school in Balikesir in the 2018-2019 Academic School year constituted the working group of the research. The data in the study were collected with the two worksheets the researchers prepared, the clinical interviews held during the application, and through unstructured observations. The results obtained by analyzing the data in the process of mathematics teaching, in which graph theory included are: When students solved the problems they faced and when they ascend top steps of mathematical thinking, they showed a better performance when compared to the other studies. Because, in the steps of privatization, generalization and assumption, only 1 of the total 8 responses given by the students is empty. At the stage of proof which is the final stage of mathematical thinking, the students have achieved a success rate of 75% despite they did not have a lesson about making proofs. This situation was interpreted as the visual model of problems selected from graph theory and attracting the attention of the questions as stated by the students. The results of this study show that, in the process of mathematics teaching, especially if teachers provide enough diversity students by using different fields of mathematics, they can increase the performances of students in mathematical thinking stages.
