The Relationship of Stress Level With Premenstrual Syndrome on Midwifery Students at Akbid Bandung

The prevalence of STDs in several regions in Indonesia shows different results. In South Jakarta, it shows that 45% of vocational school students experience PMS. In Kudus, the prevalence of PMS in Midwifery Academy students was found to be 45.8%. In Padang, 51.8% of high school students experienced PMS, while in Purworejo, the prevalence of PMS was 24.6% (Pratita & Margawati, 2013). Differences in the incidence of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) between women are usually caused by several factors including: stress, increasing age, poor eating patterns and nutritional status (Sukarni and Wahyu, 2013). To find out the relationship between stress levels and premenstrual syndrome in midwifery students at AKBID Bandung. This type of research is analytical research using a cross sectional design. The sample in this study were all female students of AKBID Bandung, Level II Regular Bachelor of Applied Midwifery Study Program, namely 48 female students. The sampling technique in this study was total sampling with a total sample of 48 female students. Data analysis used the chi-square test with a 95% confidence level (?=0.05). There was no association between stress levels and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) (?value = 0.733). The other factors of premenstrual syndrome include family history, age, lack of exercise, lack of vitamins and minerals, too much salt consumption, drinking a lot of coffee (Nugroho &; Utama, 2014). There was no significant association between stress levels and the incidence of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). This is because individuals who experience premenstrual syndrome are not only caused by stress factors, but also there are other supporting factors.

Demand for digital competencies in professional training of the EMERCOM of Russia employees

Nowadays, digital competencies have become a necessary component of professional training for a specialist in any industry, including EMERCOM. Digital technologies and digital tools are important not only in the work of all systems of the EMERCOM of Russia, but also in the process of training specialists of this industry. Digitalization of education in EMERCOM universities, despite the emerging problems and difficulties, continues to expand. The article is devoted to the study of the demand for digital competencies in the professional training of the EMERCOM of Russia employees. For this purpose, a survey across on­campus and correspondence students of The State Fire Academy of the Ministry of Russian Federation for Civil Defence, Emergencies and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters was conducted. Based on the results of the survey, a rating of competencies required for an EMERCOM employee was compiled, the analysis of the demand for competencies was carried out, the place of digital competencies among the professional competencies of EMERCOM employees was determined, and the difference in the demand for digital competencies depending on the specialization of students (e. g., fire and rescue service and forensic expertise) was noted. The data obtained in the course of the study indicates the importance and demand for digital competencies in the professional activities of employees of various the EMERCOM of Russia departments, which determines the need to modernize professional training in the context of new means of labor (digital technologies and digital tools).

The influence of small-sided conditioned games (SSCG) and interaction patterns on tactical actions during football attacks

Objective; (1) testing the effect of SSCG training with elaboration, (2) testing the effect of SSCG training with elaboration using interaction patterns, and (3) testing the difference in influence between the two, on increasing tactical action performance. Methods; using True Experimental with pretest-posttest control group design, the sample was football academy students aged 14-17 years, totaling 36 students divided into 3 groups; SSCG practice with elaboration (G1), SSCG practice with elaboration using interaction patterns (G2), and control group (G3). Using a test instrument (FUT-SAT), using only Action Outcome (AO) for the Offensive sub-category. Results; (1) There is a significant effect after SSCG training treatment with elaboration, as evidenced by the t-count of -11.118>t-table is 1.795, p0.000<α0.05. (2) There is a significant effect after SSCG training treatment with elaboration using interaction patterns, as evidenced by the t-count of -11.988>t-table is 1.795, p0.000<α0.05. (3) There is a significant difference in influence, as evidenced by the value of F(35) = 65.445;p<0.000. Tukey HSD Test Results with 95% Confident Index (CI); G1 and G2 (95%CI;[-11.51,-4.32],p<0.001), G1 and G3 (95%CI;[5.23,12.42],p<0.001), G2 and G3 (95%CI;[13.15,20.34],p<0.001), This means that G2 is better than G1 and G3, and G1 is better than G3. We predict that the effect of SSCG with work situation elaboration is able to improve existing deficiencies if SSCG is implemented separately. The interaction pattern provides the effect of ordering direction, setting dimensions, and determining tasks during the attack, so that it is more dynamic, directed, and structured. We conclude that both are worth considering and then implementing in efforts to improve tactical action performance.

Analysis of injury risk levels in young footballers: A review of functional movement screens and static balance scores

: Injury or wound is damage to the structure or function of the body due to physical force or pressure. This study aims to analyze the risk of injury in young footballers in terms of the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) based on static balance scores. This study used a descriptive observational research method. The subjects were 31 young footballers (age 13.6±0.5 years, BMI 19.5±2.2 kg/m², TD 15.5±10 months). The data collection instrument involved FMS and Stand Stork Test (SST). The data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics. This study found that the FMS score with a high injury risk category was 6.45% in the SST poor category. Meanwhile, FMS scores in the moderate injury risk category were 19.35% in the SST moderate category, 32.25% in the SST poor category, and 3.25% in the SST very poor category. FMS scores in the low injury risk category were 6.45% in the moderate SST category and 32.25% in the poor SST category. The conclusion is that SPSS soccer academy students have a potential risk of injury in the moderate category and a static balance level in the less category. In addition, after reviewing the results of FMS scores based on SST scores, it can be concluded that FMS scores in the moderate category are found in samples with poor category SST, which is 32.25%. This study suggests improving static balance to prevent the risk of sports injuries in young footballers. Similar research in the future is also recommended, especially the one that uses other physical component variables and different research sample characteristics.

Cultivating Critical Thinking Skills among Military Academy Students

In order to implement the new era's military education policy, it is essential for military academy students to possess critical thinking skills to cope with the complex and ever-changing battlefield conditions. However, the cultivation of critical thinking skills is not only a common challenge faced by higher education but also a weakness in talent development within the College English course. It is challenging for instructors to address other qualities that "high-quality" talents should possess, especially critical thinking skills, innovative abilities, and independent problem-solving capabilities. This article primarily analyzes how to enhance and cultivate critical thinking skills among military academy students within the context of College English teaching. The article first emphasizes the importance of critical thinking skills for military academy students and provides an overview of domestic and international approaches to cultivate these skills. It also identifies the challenges faced in cultivating critical thinking skills at military academies and explores methods and approaches to foster critical thinking skills from the perspectives of instructors, students, and institutions.

Injury Risk Analysis of Soccer Academy Students: A Review of Functional Movement Screen Scores and Demographic Data

The intense daily activities of students at the SPSS soccer academy can lead to excessive fatigue, which can decrease physical quality and cause injury. This study aims to analyze the level of injury risk of soccer academy students by reviewing FMS scores and demographic data. This study employed a descriptive observational research method. Research data were collected using tests and measurements. Seventy-two male soccer academy students participated in this study with the following details: mean age 15±2.1 years, BMI 19.8±2.1 kg/m², and TD 1.2±0.1 years. The data were obtained from the FMS instrument and height and weight tests. They were then analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results of the FMS score showed that subjects aged 14-17 years were most at risk of injury in the moderate category. In terms of BMI, the FMS scores showed that subjects at a high risk of injury were one in the underweight category, nine in the normal weight category, and one in the obesity grade 1 category. This study concludes that, based on demographic data, SPSS academy students in the age group of 14 years are more likely to experience injuries than students in the age group of 16 and 17 years. Furthermore, it is concluded that SPSS academy students with an average BMI are in the normal weight category, with SPSS academy student subjects having a moderate risk of injury. Based on the length of training, most SPSS academy students have 1-3 years, with the most risk of injury in the moderate risk category. Future research is expected to choose research subjects with BMI in the obese category and from various other age groups. Keywords: Sport Injury, FMS, BMI, Training, Soccer Academy, Football, Sports Medicine.

Correlations of Beauty Instructors’ Nonverbal Communication Skills with Learner Trust and Reenrollment

This study attempted to investigate how beauty instructors’ nonverbal communication skills are correlated with learner trust and reenrollment. For this, a questionnaire survey was performed against a total of 159 beauty academy students in Busan, using SPSS 25.0. Specifically, frequency analysis was performed to examine subjects’ general characteristics. To analyze the validity and reliability of nonverbal communication skills, trust and reenrollment, factor analysis was conducted. To examine correlations among variables, correlation analysis was carried out. For hypothesis testing, regression analysis was implemented. To figure out the mediating effects of trust, furthermore, 3-step mediated regression analysis was conducted, and the results found the followings: First, in correlations between nonverbal communication skills and learner trust, object language and auditory language had a statistically significant effect on learner trust. Second, learner trust revealed an influence on reenrollment with statistical significance. Third, in correlations between nonverbal communication skills and reenrollment, object language and body language were important factors. Fourth, concerning the mediating effects of trust in correlations between nonverbal communication skills and reenrollment, full mediation was observed in body language, auditory language, object language and empathetic language. In sum, this study has proven that beauty instructors’ nonverbal communication ability is meaningful as a precursor in enhancing learner trust and reenrollment.

Problematic overstudying, Big Five personality, and music performance anxiety: associations with well-being and GPA.

Problematic overstudying is a compulsive and pathological overinvolvement in studying leading to harm and considerable functional impairments. It is conceptualized as "study addiction," a precursor to work addiction. It has been investigated within the addictive behaviours framework in general populations of students for over a decade. A previous study analysed the problem among young musicians as a particularly vulnerable group. It found some important differences in potential personality risk factors among music academy students compared to general populations of students and showed an important role of social anxiety. The current study aimed to validate these findings in a separate larger sample and extend them by investigating the role of music performance anxiety (MPA). The study was conducted among 213 students of music academies. Valid and reliable measures of study addiction, MPA, Big Five personality and well-being were used. The results showed that MPA played a similar role as social anxiety in terms of being a predictor, mediator, and moderator of the main replicated effects supporting the hypothesised mechanisms regulating study addiction. However, extraversion was not associated with study addiction in multiple hierarchical regression analysis, but conscientiousness and neuroticism were. Study addiction was associated with indicators of decreased well-being, above and beyond MPA, and personality. These results show that MPA plays an analogous role to social anxiety and that the role of Big Five personality in study addiction among young musicians requires further investigation due to inconsistent findings.

Influence of Wooden Compartment’s Fuel Moisture Content on Time to Flashover: An Experimental and Numerical Study

Time to flashover is an important fire safety parameter. The present study investigated the effects of fuel moisture content on the time to flashover, crucial in fire safety analysis. Experiments and simulations of an ISO 9750-1 room model at 1/8 scale were performed by varying the wooden compartment boundaries’ moisture content between 5% and 16%. The results showed a linear increase in time to flashover with fuel moisture content. An empirical model to predict the time to flashover according to the moisture content was developed. The experiments showed that increasing the moisture from 6.5% to 14.4% prolonged the flashover time from 4.6 min to 8.75 min. These experimental results are consistent with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling using Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), which also depicts a corresponding increase in the time to flashover. These findings demonstrate the critical role of fuel moisture content in fire safety analysis. The results suggest that a 1/8-scale model can be utilized for cost-effective and easily manageable education and demonstration purposes. This includes helping fire brigades and fire academy students comprehend the significance of fuel moisture content in compartment fire development. Since the FDS modeling is not restricted to a 1/8 scale, the presented results are promising regarding CFD modeling of time to flashover in full-scale compartments.

Practical Intelligence - an Atypical Empirical Test

Using an empirical correlation non-experimental desing, the goal of the research was to examine the possibility of an atypical approach to measuring practical intelligence based on Sternberg's Theory of Successful Intelligence, within which practical intelligence in the school context is defined as the ability to think practically - translating theory into practice and abstract ideas into practical realization. It started from the following research questions and their corresponding hypoteses: (1) is it possible to measure practical intelligence by creating a valid and reliable instrument, atypical in terms of previous approaches and official, formal measurements and maesures of practical intelligence; (2) if such a possibility exists, what level of practical intelligence, in terms of the given criterion, do the participants exhibit inrelation to gender, age, type of study attendence and school success, and do they statistically significantly differ in this sense? A total of 14 male and 50 female students (N=64) of the Department of Pedagogy of the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Sarajevo and the Academy of Music of the University of Sarajevo, with an average age of M=19.23 (SD=.99), were asked about basic demographic variables, school success and practical intelligence. The validaty of the Practical Intelligence Questionnaire was tested using a maximum likelihood factor analysis. The criteria, of which KMO test (.825) and Bartlett test χ (105) = 323.050, p<.001, communality ≥ .40 and χ test values, in the third step indicated an acceptable two-factor solution: χ (76) = 77,611; p = .427. Two interpretable factors that positively correlate with each other (r=.27, p<0.01) were singled out, explaining a total of 47.35% of the variance based on which, in addition to the total - SPM, scale of practical thinking, two subscales - SSPM1 and SSPM2 were formed. The Cronbach alpha coefficient of internal consistency as a measure of reliability was satisfactory on the total measure of practical intelligence (SPM α = .86) and the cognitive-motivational measure of practical intelligence (SSPM1α = .88), while the reliability criterion of minimum α = .70 was not reached on the measure emotional practical intelligence (SSPM2 α = .56). Thus, it could be strated that the first hypotesis - about the validity and reliability of the Questionnaire on practical thinking - was almost completely confirmed. The achieved level of practical intelligence, expressed through all three measures (SPM, SSPM1 and SSPM2), was above avarage considering the set criteria in both strata of the sample. There were no statistically significant relationships between these levels in relation to gender, age and school success, expect when it comes to the type of study, where the students of the Music Academy achieved higher scores on the scale of emotional practical intelligence. Thus, the second hypotesis about the average level of practical intelligence and the disconnection with other research variables was partially confirmed. It is therefore possible to measure practical intelligence atypically, informally, but psychologically and psychometrically based. Since, as far as is known, this is the first such attempt, the results about the above-average practical intelligence of student cannot be generalized or fully accepted without thorough further questioning.

Holding still, together - Parkinson's care Portrayed

Complexity within the healthcare setting grows rapidly, and person-centered care takes on center stage. This begs for a mind- and skillset change in health professionals, because most current education equips them poorly to deal with this. Last year at ICIC22, we presented our innovative arts-based research project, focusing on a combination of narrative accounts and photographs of 21 people with Parkinson’s and 22 different practitioners. The research project was co-developed with people with Parkinson’s and professionals. Now, this project has evolved into an workshop that aims to develop healthcare practitioners in becoming reflective practitioners. Reflecting on deeper beliefs and observation skills are vital for future healthcare professionals in a complex world. 
 This workshop aspires to develop these skills and has been piloted three times in the last year with different target groups: people with Parkinson’s, nurse practitioners, and university - & art academy students. The workshop itself holds three phases. First, the workshop intents to put participants in a beginner’s frame of mind. The focus of the first exercises lie with judgement free observations. Secondly, the workshop focuses on judgment: what do you think you see, and what words will you give the description? Thirdly, we delve deeper in those judgements. Helping participants search effectively for often latent, but crucial normative convictions. All in all, the workshop is about slowing down and providing space and tools for a mindset evaluation.

The mega-metaphor DEATH AS A LIVING BEING in 16th-17th century Latin mourning poetry of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania

Abstract This article analyses anthropomorphic characteristics of death, specifically the mega-metaphor DEATH IS A LIVING BEING, manifested in the 16th-17th Century Latin mourning poetry by Vilnius Academy students. Employing the Metaphor Identification Procedure (MIP) method, the study systematically identifies and analyzes the conceptual metaphors within these works. Focusing on the anthropomorphic attributes of death, the research reveals that death was personified as a CAPTURER, GRIM REAPER, ENEMY, ANCIENT MYTHICAL FIGURE in the poetic tradition of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. This analysis provides insights into the conceptualization of mortality during the late Renaissance and Baroque periods, unraveling the complex interplay between life, death, and human emotions. Additionally, the article serves as a methodological exemplar, demonstrating the application of MIP in historical literary texts and cataloging valuable resources for scholars and those interested in the mourning poetry of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

Bridging Place-Based Astrobiology Education with Genomics, Including Descriptions of Three Novel Bacterial Species Isolated from Mars Analog Sites of Cultural Relevance.

Democratizing genomic data science, including bioinformatics, can diversify the STEM workforce and may, in turn, bring new perspectives into the space sciences. In this respect, the development of education and research programs that bridge genome science with "place" and world-views specific to a given region are valuable for Indigenous students and educators. Through a multi-institutional collaboration, we developed an ongoing education program and model that includes Illumina and Oxford Nanopore sequencing, free bioinformatic platforms, and teacher training workshops to address our research and education goals through a place-based science education lens. High school students and researchers cultivated, sequenced, assembled, and annotated the genomes of 13 bacteria from Mars analog sites with cultural relevance, 10 of which were novel species. Students, teachers, and community members assisted with the discovery of new, potentially chemolithotrophic bacteria relevant to astrobiology. This joint education-research program also led to the discovery of species from Mars analog sites capable of producing N-acyl homoserine lactones, which are quorum-sensing molecules used in bacterial communication. Whole genome sequencing was completed in high school classrooms, and connected students to funded space research, increased research output, and provided culturally relevant, place-based science education, with participants naming three novel species described here. Students at St. Andrew's School (Honolulu, Hawai'i) proposed the name Bradyrhizobium prioritasuperba for the type strain, BL16AT, of the new species (DSM 112479T = NCTC 14602T). The nonprofit organization Kauluakalana proposed the name Brenneria ulupoensis for the type strain, K61T, of the new species (DSM 116657T = LMG = 33184T), and Hawai'i Baptist Academy students proposed the name Paraflavitalea speifideiaquila for the type strain, BL16ET, of the new species (DSM 112478T = NCTC 14603T).

Unpacking the Perception of Gender Roles in the Military

Abstract The paper presents the main results of an exploratory research conducted in 2022 within an Erasmus+ international project, entitled “Military Gender Studies”. The aim of the investigation was to identify military students’ perceptions, thoughts, behaviors, and expectations concerning several peculiarities of gender issues in the daily life of the military organization: gender balance, gender differences, equality, equity, and discrimination. The respondents – Land Forces Academy students – were also asked about the opportunity/necessity to insert aspects related to gender perspectives into the academic curriculum. The structured interview method was used for data collection, which subsequently informed the qualitative data analysis. The findings presented synthetically could guide a future gender education approach, addressed to both male and female cadets and aimed at providing important tools for promoting the gender perspective in the military.
