Relationship Between Multi-Teaching Styles and Didactics Effectiveness on Rugby Instructors and Minirugby Players.

The concept of educational systems thinking shows the rugby educational system as a network of multiple interactive and interconnected elements. However, the frameworks presented in the literature for developing sports practice through an educational vision and multisport engagement do not always have direct transferability to instructors' training courses. The study aims to evaluate the correlation between rugby instructors' methodological and didactical competencies and compare them with children's motor competence and psychological aspects. Two hundred twenty children (9.6 ± 1.1 years) and 50 instructors (39.0 ± 13.6 years) were enrolled. Instructors' competencies were investigated during the internship through evaluation sheets, questionnaires, and video analysis. Children's motor competence and psychological aspects were investigated through motor tests, questionnaires, and video analysis. The correlation between methodological competencies and didactical-communicative competencies showed a positive significance, especially regarding production styles. Motor competence and play skills in children showed poor results. The group of instructors with more methodological competencies (a greater number of teaching styles used) showed a strong correlation between motor competence and psychological aspects. For successful teaching, knowledge of specific technical skills is not enough, and it is important to consider all the factors (in particular, the teaching-communicative and methodological skills) that contribute most to instructors' skills.

Pandemic-induced online internships as situated, bounded, inclusive learning: a Philippine mixed methods study

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic rattled educational institutions to implement an online internship arrangement with their industry partners. Journalism felt the same experience, at least in the Philippines where the government had mandated online learning given full school closures for 566 schooldays. This mixed methods study documented the case of a Philippine journalism school, its interns and its news media industry partners on how two rounds of online internship arrangements happened. The study integrated quantitative results from an internship evaluation sheet (N = 129) with qualitative findings from key informant interviews (N = 11) with journalist-mentors and from interns' reflection papers (N = 110). The situated learning and boundary theories, plus the inclusive education concept, provided the theoretical lenses for this paper. It was found that the pandemic-tailored online internship became an inclusive education setup that had normalized telework as the situated, bounded learning milieu of the interns. Should future natural and man-made disruptions come, journalism schools can resurface the lessons of conducting crisis-tailored online internships to reduce worrisome negative outcomes that a pandemic like COVID-19 wrought.

The Effect of Working Posture on Musculoskeletal Disorders Complaints Moderated By Smoking Copra Workers in Tanjung Balai, Asahan Regency

<div><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"><tbody><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p><em>Musculoskeletal complaints refer to discomfort or pain in the musculoskeletal system, ranging from mild to severe. One type of job that is particularly prone to musculoskeletal disorders is copra work, primarily due to poor working posture. This study aims to analyze the effect of working posture on musculoskeletal disorder complaints among copra workers in Tanjung Balai, Asahan Regency. The study is an analytical survey with a cross-sectional design, conducted in Bandar Jawa Village, Tanjung Balai Subdistrict, Asahan Regency, from December 2023 to February 2024. The study population consisted of all 139 copra workers in Bandar Jawa Village, and a sample of 104 workers was selected using the Slovin formula. The sampling technique employed was simple random sampling. Data were collected through surveys and questionnaires administered to respondents. The research instruments used were the Nordic Body Map and the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) evaluation sheet. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 24, with three stages: univariate analysis using frequency, bivariate analysis using simple linear regression, and multivariate analysis using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with a significance level of 95% (α=0.05). The results showed that working posture significantly affected musculoskeletal disorder complaints, moderated by smoking habits, with a p-value of 0.001. It can be concluded that smoking exacerbates the negative effects of poor working posture on musculoskeletal health, increasing the risk of injury and slowing recovery. It is recommended that copra workers take preventive measures against musculoskeletal disorder complaints by improving their work environment, paying attention to rest periods, engaging in light relaxation exercises, and that employers provide education on worker safety and health to copra workers.</em></p><p><em> </em></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong> <strong><em>Musculoskeletal disorders, Smoking, Work posture</em></strong></p>

Human versus Neural Machine Translation Creativity: A Study on Manipulated MWEs in Literature

In the digital era, the (r)evolution of neural machine translation (NMT) has reshaped both the market and translators’ workflow. However, the adoption of this technology has not fully reached the creative field of literary translation. Against this background, this study aims to explore to what extent NMT systems can be used to translate the creative challenges posed by idioms, specifically manipulated multiword expressions (MWEs) found in literary texts. To carry out this pilot study, five manipulated MWEs were selected from a fantasy novel and machine-translated (English > Spanish) by four NMT systems (DeepL, Google Translate, Bing Translator, and Reverso). Then, each NMT output as well as a human translation are assessed by six professional literary translators by using a human evaluation sheet. Based on these results, the creativity obtained in each translation method was calculated. Despite the satisfactory performance of both DeepL and Google Translate, HT creativity was highly superior in almost all manipulated MWEs. To the best of our knowledge, this paper not only contributes to the ongoing study of NMT applied to literature, but it is also one of the few studies that delve into the almost unexplored field of assessing creativity in neural machine-translated MWEs.

What Mistakes Can Be Made When Performing the Electrical Cardioversion Procedure?-Analysis of Emergency Medical Team Performance during the Championships in Emergency Medicine.

Medical personnel carrying out electrical cardioversion (EC) procedures must remember to have the R-wave sync mode switched on, use the correct energy and maintain personal safety. The defibrillators used by medical response teams most often switch out of cardioversion mode once a shock is delivered. Therefore, this mode must be switched on again before subsequent shocks are delivered. The main aim of the study was to assess the ability of emergency medical teams participating in emergency medicine championships to perform EC. The research was a retrospective observational study and was based on an analysis of the evaluation sheets from two tasks simulating the management of a patient with unstable tachycardia conducted during the International Winter Emergency Medicine Championships. Three-person teams consisting of paramedics and representing the Polish emergency services were included in the study. The team representing the championship organiser and the few foreign teams participating in the competition were excluded from the study. The decision to conduct EC was taken by 36 teams (83.72%) in 2015 and 27 teams (87.10%) in 2019. In both editions of the championships, during consecutive shocks, the percentage of actions performed correctly decreased significantly-switching on synchronisation mode in 2015 (94.4%, 83.33%, 72.22%) and in 2019 (100%, 88.89%, 81.48%); correct energies in 2015 (91.67%, 80.56%, 77.78%) and in 2019 (92.59%, 85.19%, 81.48%); shocks in a safe manner in 2015 (94.44%, 94.44%, 91.67%) and in 2019 (100%, 96.30%, 96.30%). Teams participating in the assessed tasks in a significant majority of cases correctly qualified the patient for EC, and correctly carried out the actions required for this procedure. It is of particular note that with every subsequent shock, the percentage of shocks carried out without the sync mode increased significantly.

Use of Flashcards Through Umbul Game in Learning Vocabulary: Is It Effective?

Vocabulary is the basic thing needed to learn the foreign language. It is wording that people have to know to communicate well, both in written and spoken structures, especially for young learners. Children's language development depends on their vocabulary, which has an impact on their academic performance. This study aimed to understand why first-grade elementary students struggle with English vocabulary in the curriculum. The primary goal was to determine if using flashcards with the Umbul game improved English vocabulary for first-grade students. The design of the research is Classroom Action Research (CAR). There are four fundamental processes in Classroom Action Research (CAR). Those are planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. In accordance with planning, the researchers prepare teaching kits needed to take action, such as: lesson plans, observation sheet, materials to be used in the classroom action, and evaluation sheet. In terms of acting, researchers implement the plan after preparing lesson plans, materials and evaluations. In this research, the researchers apply flashcards through Umbul games in teaching vocabulary. The researchers also give the post-test. Concerning observing, the researchers observe the process of teaching and learning activity. The researcher also makes result sheet to take note the information that occur during the activity. Regarding reflection, the researchers reflect, evaluate, and describe to improve the condition in the next cycle. The subjects were first-grade students from SD Pangudi Luhur Don Bosko Semarang participated in class I-C research projects. In this study, observation and evaluation sheet were applied as instruments. On the other hand, the information was obtained from observation and evaluation sheets. Information examined throughout the study was quantitative. The data was collected, and then it was examined by the researchers. The findings indicate a significant increase in first-grade students' motivation to learn English vocabulary, from 7% before to 15% after using flashcards. After implementing the flashcards through the Umbul game, the statistics indicated that students were able to acquire vocabulary with ease and were actively engaged in the teaching-learning process in the classroom. With the use of flashcards through Umbul games, students become more engaged in their studies and are more motivated to learn English. The students will have opportunities to improve their English by employing this strategy. Additionally, the English teacher can provide up chances for student participation in class activities by using flashcards as illustrated media. Hopefully, these findings can serve as a reference for future research.

On-the-job training is a crucial component of business administration education that helps students develop practical skills and knowledge in real-world settings. To establish an effective OJT program, it must align with the goals of the business administration curriculum and the industry, while the policies must provide clear guidance on student selection, placement, and evaluation. However, OJT can be adversely affected by many socioeconomic factors. The study used experiential learning theory, a qualitative methodology using semi-structured interviews to explore the experiences of business administration students at the Philippine Electronics and Communication Institute of Technology in their on-the-job training. Study aimed to investigate the opportunity and challenges during the OJT, the coping mechanism of the interns, the monitoring strategies employed to oversee the interns, the assessment of BSBA interns to the Host Agencies/Industry/Supervisor, the assessment received of BSBA Students from the Host Agencies/Supervisor, and based on the findings of the study, what intervention program may be designedIn the study, the BSBA student interns experienced practical experience and basic office work in their OJT program. However, their experience in their OJT program is not significantly aligned with their course and the internship description. The student interns' coping mechanisms include adaptation mechanisms and motivation. Monitoring strategies such as activity, compliance, and result monitoring were effective in monitoring the performance of student interns based on the feedback on the evaluation sheet provided by the institution to the host agencies.

동물기르기와 연계하여 예비유아교사가 제작한 과학그림책 분석

Objectives This study analyzed the themes of science picture books produced by pre-early childhood teachers in connection with their experience raising animals, the composition of stories and picture expressions included in the picture books, and identified problems that may arise when pre-early childhood teachers conduct early childhood science education. We sought to explore implications for early childhood science education classes at early childhood teacher training institutions. Methods We collected animal raising observation logs, individual story boards, production intentions, group story boards and picture books, and individual evaluation sheets from 15 third-year students in the Department of Early Childhood Education at a four-year university in the Gyeongbuk region, focusing on the text and pictures of individual story boards and science picture books. Themes and characteristics were analyzed, and analysis was conducted to find meaning in the individually written production intentions and evaluation sheets. Results First, most of the topics of the individual story boards and group picture books composed by pre-early childhood teachers appeared to deal with the growth process of animals, and topics related to the preciousness of life and love of nature were not included. Second, the pre-early childhood teachers composed stories and expressed them with pictures based on what they observed, but it was confirmed that some of the content and picture expressions contained scientific errors or were different from what was observed. Conclusions Picture book-making activities linked to raising animals are the same as writing observation logs, composing individual story boards, producing and sharing picture books for each group, and writing peer evaluation sheets. By providing opportunities for repeated reflective thinking, pre-early childhood teachers can check for errors in their practical knowledge. It is an effective teaching method that can help form correct scientific knowledge.

The aim of this study was to evaluate a bundle of measures to improve the DS for physicians, nurses and patients.MethodsIn a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial, four different versions of DS (2 original, 2 revised) were tested with physicians, nurses and patients. We used an evaluation sheet (Case report form, CRF) with a 6-point Likert scale (1 = completely agree; 6 = strongly disagree).ResultsIn total, 441 participants (physicians n = 146, nurses n = 140, patients n = 155) were included in the study. Overall, the two revised DS received significant better ratings than the original DS (original 2.8 ± 0.8 vs. revised 2.1 ± 0.9, p < 0.001). Detailed results for the main domains are structured DS (original 1.9 ± 0.9 vs. revised 2.2 ± 1.3, p = 0.015), content (original 2.7 ± 0.9 vs revised 2.0 ± 0.9, p < 0.001) and comprehensibility (original 3.8 ± 1.2vs. revised 2.3 ± 1.2, p < 0.001).ConclusionWith simple measures like avoiding abbreviations and describing indications or therapies with fixed contents, the DS can be significantly improved for physicians, nurses and patients at the same time.Trial registrationFirst registration 13/11/2020 NCT04628728 at www.clinicaltrials.gov, Update 15/03/2023.

Requirements classification in Kano Model – from strict categories to satisfaction and dissatisfaction potential

Many approaches to requirements classification in the Kano model use strict categories defined in the past – attractive, onedimensional, must-be, indifferent, and reverse. This study aims to design a user-friendly tool for a relatively accurate understanding of the impact of customer requirements fulfillment on satisfaction and dissatisfaction. To date, no study has been published that systematically integrates the satisfaction and dissatisfaction effect of requirements without the need to specify categories of requirements. The proposed approach is based on defining the satisfaction potential (SP) and dissatisfaction potential (DP) of each requirement. Curve shapes for all valid categories in the 5 × 5 Kano evaluation sheet were used to determine SP and DP. At the same time, a new Kano evaluation sheet was designed containing predefined SP and DP values, which allow easier classification of requirements. A case study of requirements on restaurant services was used to validate the new approach. Results show higher accuracy and simplicity of the approach.
