Examining stress Tolerance and Self-Efficacy in Soldiers

This research aims to investigate the relationship between soldiers' physical self-efficacy, general self-efficacy, and stress tolerance. The study examined 34 male soldiers from the Latvian National Armed Forces, utilizing the Self-Efficacy to Regulate Exercise Scale, The General Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Determination test (DT) from the Vienna Test System. The testing was conducted individually face-to-face in a laboratory setting, utilizing a computer-based valid measuring instrument to assess the stress tolerance of the participants. This assessment was complemented by physical self-efficacy and general self-efficacy questionnaires. Our findings highlighted the significance of soldiers' physical self-efficacy, as it exhibits positive and substantial relationships with stress tolerance. The regression model for physical self-efficacy was statistical significance. Specifically, general self-efficacy and stress tolerance demonstrated a positive predictive effect on physical self-efficacy. This implies that higher general self-efficacy and stress tolerance correspond to greater physical self-efficacy. The implications of these findings are crucial because they highlight the role of self-efficacy and stress tolerance in determining soldiers' physical self-efficacy levels. Understanding these relationships can have implications for military training programs and interventions aimed at improving the performance of soldiers, their stress tolerance, mental resilience, and well-being. This study holds both theoretical and empirical value. Furthermore, these findings may be extended beyond military context, offering valuable implications for other high stress professions.

A RESEARCH ON PSYCHOTECHNICAL TESTS USED IN HUMAN RESOURCES PRACTICES

Psychotechnical tests are used in many areas such as the recruitment of employees, their placement in the appropriate job, and the evaluation of their performance in human resources practices. And with the use of these tests, it helps organizations to employ the right people for the job and to increase the performance of their employees and therefore organizations. One of the most used methods in psychotechnical evaluation is the Vienna Test System (VTS). Determination Test (DT) and Cognitrone Test (COG), two of the most used tests in VTS, were used as measurement tools in this study. While the COG test fundamentally measures attention, DT measures the speed and quality of response to stimuli. The aim of this study is to determine the success of the employees in the COG and DT, according to their educational status and age, and to determine whether there is a difference between them. For this purpose, tests were applied to 3222 blue-collar employees working in Kocaeli and Istanbul in Türkiye. According to the results obtained, as the education level of the employees increases, their success in these tests increases, and as their age increases, their success decreases. In line with these results, some suggestions were presented to managers and researchers.

Training in personal defense techniques and its influence on the stress threshold of students

Training in self-defense techniques is carried out regularly in both civil and military contexts. Self-defense techniques are put into practice in dangerous situations such us a threat or a physical attack, which can generate great stress on the individual. When carrying out this study, we wanted to analyze the influence that training in self-defense techniques has on the stress experienced by students in a dangerous situation or while being attacked. For this reason, I have compared the measure of stress experienced by 14 students during their performance, facing situations of physical threat that they perform in simulated self-defense practices, which are carried out in this training. The student’s stress was measured with the Determination Test (DT) of the Vienna Test System. These defense practices against simulated attack situations take place at two different moments within the training course, one at the beginning and another once the training course has finished; therefore, the students have completely learned the defense techniques. I carried out the first measure of stress in situations of physical threat, in the simulation at the beginning of the training course, when the students had not yet learned any self-defense techniques. The second measurement was performed 21 days later, when the students had received self-defense training. This came during the simulation of situations of physical threat that is developed once the teaching of these techniques has finished and occurs at the end of the training course. The results show that the stress tolerance threshold increases with training. The results obtained in the variables measured pre and post show a decrease in the "median reaction time to the stimuli" and an increase in the variables "number of stimuli answered" and "correct reactions". This demonstrates that these subjects achieved a stress tolerance threshold in stressful situations with the highest physical threat, which was at the end of this formation. Therefore, there is an important degree of difference in the stress resistance of the subjects before the simulation of the first day of training, and that of the last day once they had already learned the self-defense techniques. These findings could contribute to highlighting the usefulness of this type of training both in military units and in civilian entities, not only to improve technical knowledge of self-defense but also to promote a more adaptive stress response in this type of situation.

The positive impact of 12weeks of dance and balance training on the circulating amyloid precursor protein and serotonin concentration as well as physical and cognitive abilities in elderly women.

The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of 12-weeks dance training with balance training on fall risk, physical and cognitive functions. The study's second aim was to evaluate the association between physical and cognitive functions with circulating markers of neurodegeneration and cognitive impairments in elders. 30 older women (aged 73.3±4.5) were randomly assigned into three groups: balance training (BG), dance training (DG) and control group (CG). To assess the study aims Time up and go test (TUG), 6minute walk test (6MWT), determination test (DT), blood amyloid precursor protein (APP) and serotonin concentration were performed. The results showed an improvement in 6MWT (p=0.0001 for DG and BD), walking speed (p=0.0001 for DG and BG) and TUG, only for DG (p=0.0013). The number of correct responses in DT increased in both groups (p=0.014 and p=0.005, for DG and BG, respectively). In DG the increase in the total number of reactions was observed (p=0.013). The improvement in cognitive and physical functions was associated with an increase in APP (p=0.036 and p=0.014) and a decrease in serotonin concentrations (p=0.042 and p=0.049), respectively in DG and BG. Dance training intervention could have more benefits on elders' physical and cognitive functions. However, both trainings may be important factors modifying the concentration of circulating proteins associated with neurodegenerative and cognitive disorders.

Effective Stress Management through Meditation: An Electroencephalograph-Based Study.

Introduction:Stress among college students is a common health problem that is directly correlated with poor cognitive health. For instance, cognitive mechanisms required for sustenance can be affected due to stress caused by daily mundane events, not necessarily by chronic events. Thus, it becomes essential to manage stress effectively especially for college students. Meditation is one of the useful techniques that facilitates cognitive flexibility and has consequences at the molecular and endocrinal level to treat stress.Objectives:The present study attempts to understand the effect of meditation on the brain waves when participants face stressful events.Methods:A randomized controlled pre-post experimental design was used. Total 18 subjects were randomly assigned to control group and experimental group. Subsequently, Electroencephalograph (EEG) data were recorded during the determination test (DT) before and after the meditation. The Control group underwent relaxation music while the experimental group practiced Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) (a type of meditation). Non-linear EEG signal processing algorithm was applied to capture dynamics and complexity in brain waves. Results: Results indicated that the efficacy of meditation was reflected with the improved information processing in the brain. Improved performance and reduced errors were reported in DT Scores in the experimental group. Increased complexity of beta band was observed for non-linear features, signifying efficient utilization of cognitive resources while performing the task.Conclusion:Findings implicated the usefulness of the meditation process for effective stress management.

Analysis of Blood Availability During the COVID-19 Pandemic Period in Blood Bank Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital

Blood Bank's challenge during the COVID-19 era is securing and protecting blood supplies even though countries aretaking precautionary measures with social distancing to prevent or reduce the number of infections caused by COVID-19.This study aimed to compare blood availability before and during the COVID-19 pandemic at the blood bank of Dr. WahidinSudirohusodo Hospital. A Descriptive-analytic study with an observational approach using the Shapiro-Wilk test todetermine the normality of the sample and the paired T-test. Sample data was taken between March-August 2019 andMarch-August 2020. A significant difference was found in blood demand (p-value=0.004), amount of blood transfusion(p-value=0.006), stock and reference report (p-value=0.005), blood service report (p-value=0.005), cito waiting time(p-value=0.002) and regular waiting time (p-value=0.016). There was no significant difference in blood indicator Packed RedCell (PRC) (p-value=0.119). The Large-Scale Social Restriction Policy (PSBB) and reduction of elective surgery in hospitalsaffect the fulfillment of Blood Bank and faster attendance time of blood during the pandemic. The decrease in a number ofblood demands during the COVID-19 pandemic affected the number of blood transfusions, blood service reports, stocks,referrals, and cito and regular waiting time services.

The influence of shift work on the psychomotor capabilities of emergency medicine residents.

ObjectiveShift work affects health status of healthcare providers and patients. We assessed the effect of shift work on psychomotor activities of emergency medicine residents of 3 university hospitals.MethodsThe participants were enrolled to perform selected psychomotor tests via the Vienna test system (VTS) after written consent. They passed 4 episodes of test performance before and after 2 consecutive day and night clinical shifts of 12 hours. The status of general health, circadian rhythm, sleepiness, smoking habits, and the scores of the cognition test (COG), the determination test (DT), and the visual pursuit test of emergency medicine residents were compared before and after morning and night shifts.ResultsOverall, 23 residents (34.8% were male) performed tests. The mean (SD) age was 35.7 + 8.5 years. The mean general health and circadian scores before and after day/night shifts were not different. The Stanford sleepiness scale showed higher scores after night shifts. In the cognition test, the sum of correct rejections was higher after day shifts. Moreover, in the DT results, correct responses were more prevalent, the omitted responses were fewer accompanied by better median reaction time after day shifts. The sum of correct rejections of the COG test showed difference in terms of improved results in night tests compared to day‐shift tests. The mean reaction time of the DT showed significant difference with shorter reaction time in night‐shift tests. The visual pursuit test results were not different between day and night shifts.ConclusionsSleepiness was higher after night shifts. The results of selected psychomotor tests showed that the psychomotor function of the residents was not delayed or worse after night shifts in comparison to the day shifts.

The Impact of Two MMPI-2-Based Models of Personality in Predicting Driving Behavior. Can Demographic Variables Be Disregarded?

The driver’s personality is a key human factor for the assessment of the fitness to drive (FTD), affecting driving decisions and behavior, with consequences on driving safety. No previous study has investigated the effectiveness of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI)-2 scales for predicting the FTD. The present study aimed to compare two MMPI-2-based models of normal and pathological personality traits (i.e., Inventory of Driving-related Personality Traits (IVPE)-MMPI vs. Personality Psychopathology Five (PSY-5) scale) in predicting the cognitive FTD. One hundred young and eighty-seven adult active drivers completed the MMPI-2 questionnaire as a measure of personality and a computerized driving task measuring for resilience of attention (Determination Test (DT)), reaction speed (Reaction Test (RS)), motor speed (MS), and perceptual speed (Adaptive Tachistoscopic Traffic Perception Test (ATAVT)). The effects of age, gender, and education were also controlled. Results showed that the models controlled for demographics overperformed those neglecting them for each driving outcome. A negative effect of age was found on each driving task; the effect of gender, favoring males, was found in both the RS and the MS, and the effect of education was found on the DT and the ATAVT. Concerning personality traits, significant effects were found of sensation seeking (IVPE-MMPI) on each outcome; of anxiety (as a measure of emotional instability; IVPE-MMPI) and introversion (PSY-5) on the measures of MS; and of psychopathic deviation (as a measure of self-control; IVPEMMPI) on the DT. The study confirmed the key role of demographic factors in influencing the FTD, further suggesting the usefulness of some MMPI2-based personality scales in the assessment of driving-related personality determinants.

PENGARUH FINANCING TO DEPOSIT RATIO (FDR) TERHADAP RETURN ON ASSET (ROA) PADA BANK SYARIAH ANAK PERUSAHAAN BUMN DI INDONESIA PERIODE 2011-2019

This study aims to analyze the effect of Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR)on Return On Asset (ROA) in Islamic banks, a subsidiary of BUMN. Thisresearch is classified as a descriptive quantitative research. This researchwas conducted at the Sharia Bank Subsidiaries of BUMN, namely BankSyariah Mandiri, Bank BRI Syariah, and Bank BNI Syariah. The data usedin this study are secondary data obtained from the quarterly financialreports for the 2011-2019 period. Data collection techniques throughliterature and documentation. The analysis method used in this research isSimple Regression Analysis, Descriptive Test, and Classical AssumptionTest. As for the hypothesis test used is the t test and the test ofdetermination (R2).From the results of the analysis, it shows that the FDRcondition is in the quite good category. Then for the ROA condition it is inthe quite good category. Based on several tests that have been carriedout, it is known that FDR does not have a significant effect on ROA. This isevidenced in the results of the Determination Test which shows that thesize of the FDR ratio is only able to affect the ROA ratio by 0.005 or 0.5%.This means that FDR has a very weak influence in increasing the ROA ofSharia Banks in BUMN Subsidiaries. This is due to other factors that moreinfluence ROA, such as CAR, NPF, and BOPO.

Investigation of Relationship Between Reactive Agility and Cognitive Parameters in Male Football Players

Objective: This study aims at investigating the relationship between reactive agility and cognitive performance of amateur male football players.
 
 Material and Method: Twenty-four male football players from 11 Nisan Sports Club in Şanlıurfa struggling in Regional Amateur Football League (BAL) participated in the study voluntarily. The mean age, height and weight of the football players participating in the study were 22.88 ± 4.15 year, 176.76 ± 5.90 cm and 69.76 ± 7.61 kg, respectively. Psycho-Technical Vienna system was used for Participants’ Cognitive tests, IQ (SPM), Continuous Attention (SIGNAL, SIGINAL TIME), Visual Memory (TAVTB), Determination Test (DT, DT TIME), Attention and Problem Solving (COG), Line Tracking (LVT), and Speed Distance Estimation (HMT). For the reactive agility test, the Fusion Sport Smart Speed device was used. Correlation statistics were used for the relationships between the variables. SPSS 23.0 package program was used for statistical operations. For the interpretation of statistical analyze, the significance level was accepted as 0.05.
 
 Results: There was no significant relationship between IQ (SPM), Continuous Attention (SIGNAL), Visual Memory (TAVTMB), Determination Test (DT), Attention and Problem Solving (COG), Line Tracking (LVT) with reactive agility values of male football players (p > 0.05), a significant relationship was found between Continuous Attention Reaction Time (SIGINAL TIME) the rRaction Time of the Determination test (DT TIME) and Speed Distance Estimation (HMT) (p < 0.05).
 
 Conclusion: As the content of the reactive agility test was based only on the speed and reaction speed against light and noise, it was found that the players were only associated with speed distance estimation and response time among the reactive agility performance and the cognitive tests. In order to determine the relationship between reactive agility and cognitive performance, there is a need for new reactive agility tests which are designed according to the branches where there is a distinction between competitor and team player requiring visual memory, attention, reaction, and double action skills.

ESTABLISHING THE RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY OF THE COMPONENT TIMED-UP-AND-GO TEST TO DETERMINE BASIC PROSTHETIC MOBILITY IN PEOPLE WITH LOWER LIMB AMPUTATION

INTRODUCTION
 Studies suggest that brief bouts of activity consisting of sit-to-stand transitions, gait initiation, turning and negotiation of obstacles, are essential tasks of daily mobility, as well as prosthetic mobility1,2. Using outcome measures deemed reliable for use in the amputee population is ideal3,4. The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability and validity of a component timed-up-and-go test (cTUG), using a mobile application (App), to evaluate basic prosthetic mobility tasks in people with lower limb amputation (LLA). The cTUG captures time required to perform the subtask components of sit to stand transitions, linear gait, and a 180˚ turn that are requisites of the standard TUG test. It was hypothesized that the cTUG would demonstrate test-retest reliability, differentiate between groups based on anatomical level of amputation, and exhibit convergent validity with other measures of prosthetic mobility and balance.

Morphogenetic variability and genetic loads among patients with different expression of developmental hip dysplasia

Assuming that developmental hip dysplasia (DDH) is a genetically controlled disease, we made a hypothesis that an increased homozygosity level and genetic loads, among the patients with DDH, could be some kind of predisposition for the degree of illness expression. Using HRC-test (test for determination of homozygously recessive characteristics in humans) we analyzed presence, distribution, and individual combination of 20 selected genetically controlled morphophysiological traits among DDH patients (N=200) and controls (N=200). Among groups of DDH patients the increase in the degree of genetic homozygosity correlates with the degree of illness expression (dysplasia/subluxations-39%; luxations-45%). There is significant difference in mean HRC value between tested groups of patients with dysplasia/luxations (p<0.05) and subluxations/luxations (p<0.05). Our results showed increase of morphogenetic homozygosity in the group of patients with bilateral hip dislocation (BL) (45%), compared to group with unilateral expression (UL) (41%) and control (23.5%). There is significant difference in mean HRC value between tested groups of patients with UL and BL (p<0.05). Also, surgically treated patients showed significant increase of genetic homozygosity (43%) compared to those conservatively treated (37%) and controls. We found significant difference in mean HRC value between tested groups of patients that were treated conservatively and surgically (p<0.05). Our results showed increase of genetic homozygosity in the groups of DDH female patients (44%), compared to male patients (39%), while in controls there was no difference between gender. Female DDH patients show a significant increase in average homozygosity of tested genetic markers (p<0.05) than male DDH patients. The enlargement of genetic loads correlates with severity of the disease (in studied groups of DDH patients) which may indicate some kind of predisposition for the degree of illness expression.

Selected Cognitive Abilities in Elite Youth Soccer Players.

The identification of talent in soccer is critical to various programs. Although many research findings have been presented, there have been only a few attempts to assess their validity. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between talent and achievement variables in the Vienna Test System. The participants were 91 Czech soccer players, representing four youth soccer teams, who were born in the year 2000. These boys were divided into two groups according to their coaches’ assessments using a TALENT questionnaire. A two-factor model (component 1: “kinetic finesse”; component 2: “mental strength”) was designed to interpret the responses of the coaches on the questionnaire. The Vienna Test System was used to determine the level of players’ cognitive abilities. In total, the subjects performed seven tests in the following order: Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM), a reaction test (RT), a determination test (DT), a visual pursuit test (LVT), a Corsi Block-Tapping Test (CORSI), a time/movement anticipation test (ZBA), and a peripheral perception test (PP). To analyze the relationship between talent and achievement variables within the Vienna Test System, correlation analyses were performed. The results revealed that the talented group attained significantly better results on only 1 of the 16 variables, which was ZBA2: movement anticipation - deviation of movement median (r = .217, p = .019). A comparison of the two talent components showed that component 1 (“kinetic finesse”) was a more significant factor than component 2 (“mental strength”). Although we observed statistically significant correlations, their actual significance remains questionable; thus, further research is required.

ANALISIS PENGARUH KOMPENSASI FINANSIAL DAN KOMPENSASI NON FINANASIAL TERHADAP KINERJA PEGAWAI PADA BADAN PUSAT STATISTIK (BPS) PROVINSI NUSA TENGGARA BARAT

This study aims to investigate the effect of financial and non-financial compensation, eitherpartially or simultaneously, on the employee work performance of Central Bureau of Statistics ofWest Nusa Tenggara. The study also aims to determine the most dominant variablesinvestigatedthat affect the employee work performance. The study uses an associative-causal researchapproach aiming to reveal the relationship between two or more variables. Population of the studyconsisted of 68 people and they were taken entirely as a respondent. To collect data, aquestionnaire instrument was used. Proir to the study, the instrument was tested todetermine itsvalidity and reliability. Further, the study employed multiple linear regression with statistical test ofdetermination (R2), t-test (partial test), F-test (simultaneous test),and individual coefficient ofdetermination (r2 test). Result of the study show that: (1) Financial Compensation had no significanteffect on the employee performance but non financial compensation did significantly influence theemployee performance. (2) There was a significant effect of the simultaneous FinancialCompensation and Nonfinancial Compensation on the Employee Performance. (3) The nonfinancialCompensation had indeed a dominant influence on the employee performance. For futureresearch,it is suggested if the study analyzed the effect of compensation on employee performance,especially in government agencies that have earned remunisasi (Performance Benefit),futureresearchers not include financial compensation variables and add other variables that can affect theemployee work performance such as employee behaviors, leadership style, working conditions,working environment, the complexity of task, and other similar others.From the theory ofindependent variables studied should be even more so that it can be seen that the dominantvariable and the most dominant influence employee performance.Keywords: Employees performances, Financial Compensation, Non Financial Compensation..
