Purposeful practice: Constraints and temperament impact on physical performance of collegiate division ii soccer athletes

This quantitative quasi-experimental study examined differences in mean and median differences of millennial soccer athlete’s performance. Research indicates that millennials struggle with complex tasks due to their fear of failure. Individual productivity has been shown to be positively influenced by the use of designed constraints. The study employed the C-BMN framework and the GPAI to analyze data pertaining to constraint-type and its influence on the productivity of 18 soccer players. Individual components teamwork and trapping showed statistical significance during the intervention, while positioning, passing, and dribbling did not. The overall GPAI showed statistical significance between the control and both constraint types. A two-mixed ANOVA showed no statistical significant interaction between constraints and temperaments however only 72% of participants completed the temperament assessment.

Can Culture Stimulate Innovation for Technopreneurship? A Grounded Theory Method

Among factors influencing and shaping innovation in different societies is the prevailing culture. Most forms of individualistic cultures affect innovation significantly and positively. key factors that influence innovation among early-stage startups are government interventions, innovation policy and financing. This study has three key objectives. The first is to examine how culture influences innovation among technology startups in Malaysia. The second objective is to explore factors associated with technology innovation. The third objective is to assess how innovation influence financing for technology startups. The study employs grounded theory as the main methodological approach to analyze primary data. A qualitative survey carried out a series of semi-structured interviews with technology entrepreneurs[1], relevant government agencies, industry associations, venture capitalists and leading accelerators. The study finds that culture can be an impediment to innovation. Factors such as collective culture and herd mentality behavior were identified as barriers to innovation and fear of failure was attributed to low entrepreneurial innovation. Entrepreneurial attitude, on the other hand, was identified as a significant quality that is positively related to innovation among technology startups. Data analysis reveals that technopreneurs who display a positive attitude, determination, perseverance and self-efficacy are more likely to display some form of innovation in their startup. These technopreneurs were more likely to be financed by venture capital funds and private or angel investors. Other factors that influence innovation are, the capacity to commercialize, overall entrepreneurship culture, incubators facilities and capabilities and market size. Based on the findings, the study offers a proposed framework that encapsulates elements, factors and components that affect innovation.

Effects of different regimens of sedation on mechanically ventilated patients

Background: Up to one-third of intensive care unit (ICU) patients worldwide undergo mechanical ventilation. These patients frequently require analgesics and sedatives-potent medications with clear benefits and significant side effects. Objective: The current study intended to assess the effects of application of different regimens of sedation on mechanically ventilated patients regarding the length of ventilator days, length of hospital stay, multiple organ dysfunctions, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), and mortality. Methods: One hundred adult patients who are intubated for any cause and attached to mechanical ventilation for more than 24 h will be included in this study. Drugs used for sedation were propofol and midazolam. Patients underwent history taking, clinical examination, laboratory investigations, chest X-ray, and electrocardiogram on admission. Results: At the end of this study, it was found that there was a significant increase in the sedation holiday group (Group II) over the no sedation group (Group I) regarding multiple organ dysfunction score, VAP, ventilator days, ICU stay, and hospital stay but there was no significant difference between both groups regarding mortality, spontaneous breathing trials, Glasgow Coma Scale, and complete blood count. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that the use of sedatives can cause prolongation in the duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in the ICU, and total length of hospital stay. In addition, there is an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. It is possible to use a strategy of no sedation for critically ill patients undergoing mechanical ventilation without fears of failure.

Uticaj barijera na preduzetničke namere - studentsko preduzetništvo u zemljama Zapadnog Balkana

The paper is based on the findings of the research of students of business administration in the countries of the Western Balkans and aims to identify the impact of entrepreneurial barriers on their intentions to start entrepreneurial ventures. Barriers are classified into four categories. The first category is knowledge and skill barriers. The second group of barriers includes financial barriers. Subjective circumstances represent the third, and administrative procedures and fiscal burdens are the fourth groups of barriers. The research was conducted with 910 respondents, which consists of 71 questions. For the analysis, 6 questions related to the demographic profile and general information were used, while for the second part, 14 were used, which belong to the categories of barriers. The SPSS program was used for the empirical analysis of the results. The results showed that financial barriers, administrative procedures, and fiscal burdens harm entrepreneurial intentions. Within the group of barriers of knowledge and skills, the lack of business plan development skills and the lack of financial skills harm entrepreneurial aspirations, while the other barriers are not statistically significant. It was confirmed that statistically significant barriers to entrepreneurial intentions belong to subjective circumstances: lack of support from the environment and fear of failure.

INFLUENCE OF THE BLOGOSPHERE ON MEANINGFUL LIFE STRATEGIES IN YOUNG PEOPLE

Today, for many young people, a high rating on the Internet is much more important than real achievements. This situation is created by modern types of earning on the web with creating accounts that are highly popular. The aim of the study was to suggest that the life-meaning orientations and motivational sphere of young people, active and inactive in social networks, may differ in structure. Methods included “Test of life orientations” by D.A.Leontiev, A.A. Rean’s questionnaire “Motivation for success and fear of failure”, K. Zamfi r’s methodology “Motivation of professional activity”. The sample of the study was formed of  young “bloggers” aged  to  years. For young people with inactive behavior in social networks, who have a higher level of internal motivation, activity itself is more important than for young people who are more active in social networks. The group of subjects with inactive behavior concentrates less on the desire to satisfy external motives: social recognition, an increase in the share of acquiring social and material benefi ts during work. Such a motivational complex of personality is recognized as more positive, since internal motivation is the strongest of the three presented. This is due to the stable activity of young people with inactive behavior in the blogosphere, carried out on the basis of internal motives. Young people with inactive behavior in social networks are distinguished by participation in social movements, volunteer groups and having a job or experience of additional earnings, where the basis of motivation is the ability to satisfy internal needs, to help other people that this activity brings. The absence of statistically signifi cant differences in the indicators of external positive motivation and external negative motivation can be explained by incomplete involvement in social activities of both groups, which means that the system of external motivation is not fully formed.

Does intelligence predict development of investment traits from mid to late adolescence? Evidence from a 3-year longitudinal study.

Investment theories have claimed reciprocal relations between intelligence and investment traits (i.e., personality traits related to seeking out, and dealing with, cognitive challenges). However, previous research has primarily addressed the effects of investment traits on intellectual development (environmental enrichment hypothesis) and often focused on either childhood or later adulthood. The present study investigated the effects of intelligence on investment traits (environmental success hypothesis) from mid to late adolescence. In a 3-year longitudinal survey (2008-2011) covering four measurement occasions, the predictive effects of both fluid and crystallized intelligence on intraindividual change in both the achievement motive (i.e., hope for success and fear of failure) and need for cognition were examined. Overall, 476 adolescents (t1 : Mage = 16.43, SD = 0.55; 51.3% girls) from Germany participated. Second-order latent growth models indicated that fluid intelligence predicted a steeper growth in hope for success (β = .40), but was unrelated to change in the other investment traits. Crystallized intelligence had no effects on the investment traits under study. The results contribute to the research on the bidirectionality of intelligence and investment traits and add to our understanding of personality development from mid to late adolescence. Specifically, they underline the importance of nurturing hope for success especially in individuals with lower intelligence, but also show that support for the environmental success hypothesis seems to be limited to certain investment traits.

Multimodal Augmented Reality Applications for Training of Traffic Procedures in Aviation

Mid-air collision is one of the top safety risks in general aviation. This study addresses the description and experimental assessment of multimodal Augmented Reality (AR) applications for training of traffic procedures in accordance with Visual Flight Rules (VFR). AR has the potential to complement the conventional flight instruction by bridging the gap between theory and practice, and by releasing students’ time and performance pressure associated with a limited simulator time. However, it is critical to assess the impact of AR in the specific domain and to identify any potential negative learning transfer. Multimodal AR applications were developed to address various areas of training: guidance and feedback for the correct scanning pattern, estimation if an encountering traffic is on collision course and application of the relevant rules. The AR applications also provided performance feedback for collision detection, avoidance and priority decisions. The experimental assessment was conducted with 59 trainees (28 women, 31 men) assigned to an experimental group (AR training) and a control group (simulator training). The results of tests without AR in the flight simulator show that the group that trained with AR obtained similar levels of performance like the control group. There was no negative training effect of AR on trainees’ performance, workload, situational awareness, emotion nor motivation. After training the tasks were perceived as less challenging, the accuracy of collision detection has improved, and the trainees reported less intense negative emotions and fear of failure. Furthermore, a scanning pattern test in AR showed that the AR training group performed the scanning pattern significantly better than the control group. In addition, there was a significant gender effect on emotion, motivation and preferences for AR features, but not on performance. Women liked the voice interaction with AR and the compass hologram more than men. Men liked the traffic holograms and the AR projection field more than women. These results are important because they provide experimental evidence for the benefits of multimodal AR applications that could be used complementary to the flight simulator training.

Factors Explaining the Risk Attitude towards Entrepreneurship in Pakistan: An Exploratory Analysis

This study empirically identifies factors which explain the attitude of individuals towards entrepreneurship, and how attitudes toward risk influence the likelihood of a person turning entrepreneur. The variable ‗fear of failing‘ serves as a proxy variable reflecting risk aversion, as contained in the dataset compiled by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), through interviews of a sample of 2,007 respondents from Pakistan, in 2010. Given that the dependent variable is of binary nature, the probit model is used to empirically determine as to how various demographic, and perceptual factors influence risk aversion among the country‘s citizens, particularly in the context of starting their own businesses. The results suggest that personally knowing other entrepreneurs, who have launched a business in the past two years is the most significant variable affecting risk attitudes among Pakistanis; specifically, those who personally know entrepreneurs are more likely to have a fear of failure, with marginal effects as high as 8 percent. Meanwhile, individuals who feel that society generally approves of entrepreneurship as a career choice are around 5 percent less likely to fear failure, though this is a weak correlation. A number of other variables—which are reported in the literature to have significant correlation with risk attitudes in a global context—are not found to be correlated at traditional significance level for Pakistan. In addition, the study does not reveal systematic differences in the risk attitude of individuals hailing from urban and rural areas, or at provincial level. We suggest some preliminary implications based on the findings, and also identify a potential avenue for follow-up research.

Examining procrastination and fear of failure among college students

Prior research has set out to determine if there is a relationship between fear of failure, procrastination, and gender. However, findings have been mixed, and few studies have explored the relationship between fear of failure and procrastination. The current study set out to examine the relationship between fear of failure and procrastination and fear of failure and gender. A sample of university students (n = 310) was administered the Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory (PFAI), which provides information relative to different forms of fear of failure, and the Pure Procrastination Scale (PPS). The relationship between procrastination and fear of failure was explored using correlation analysis, and the relationship between fear of failure and gender was explored using an independent t-test. Results suggested a moderate positive relationship between total procrastination and various forms of fear of failure. Additionally, women were found to have reported higher levels of various forms of fear of failure. Limitations of this study and implications for future research addressing procrastination and fear of failure were discussed.

What is Entrepreneurial Fear of Failure?

Fear of Failure (FoF) is not exclusive to entrepreneurship. The concept is stemmed from behavioral studies in psychology. Although entrepreneurship is similar in a performative context, entrepreneurship measures of success still need to be defined. Uncertainties combined with social stigmas of entrepreneurial failure have significantly constrained the growth of entrepreneurship. The aim of the research was to map the literature regarding FoF in an entrepreneurial context. The research sought to understand how much the subject was known, how it was measured, and what factors influenced it. The research applied a systematic literature review study by adopting the PRISMA 2020 statement method and finding 41 articles that specifically studied the subject. It identified a growing interest in the subject, novel reconceptualization, and a few socio-cultural factors influencing FoF in the entrepreneurial context. Then, an experimental measurement scale was also developed. The analysis shows that many articles in FoF are exploratory, with the qualitative approach being the most utilized. Then, GEM data are the most used source in these studies. The research also identifies popular theories, sample regions, methods of measurement, and factors influencing FoF. The result concludes that the topic needs to be explored more, implying many potential areas and formative constructs for future research.

Adoption of Conceptual Model for Smartphones among Older People

A critical issue is the acceptance of current modern smartphone technology by older people. Smartphones are inventions that presently offer significant advantages to help individuals. However, around the world, every older user wants to perform tasks that are more user-friendly, and near their personal preferences. Considering these factors, this research aimed to explain, identify, and examine multiple external factors and usability for acceptance, adoption, and usage of smartphones by the 45-year-old-and-above population. To achieve the research objective, a new conceptual model, the smartphone acceptance model for older people, was proposed; it was principally based on Technology acceptance model (TAM), in order to identify the essential aging factors that may have a significant influence on smartphone usability, usage, acceptance, and adoption among older people. The data collection was conducted through a questionnaire that was administered to 240 persons above 40. Overall findings showed that multiple external factors such as comfortability (CA), social influence (SI), perceived enjoyment (PE), fear of failure (FOF), perceived ease of use (PEU), perceived usefulness (PU), behavioral intention (BI), compatibility (COM), and attitude towards use (ATU) had significant impacts in the adoption of smartphones among older persons. For hypothesis testing, the collected data were additionally analyzed, and it was found that of the ten hypotheses, nine were positively significant overall. SEM-PLS and SPSS were used to analyze the collected data, and the findings were based on the supported hypotheses. This research contribution can be seen in terms the identification and examination of external factors that hinder or empower acceptance of smartphones among the older population. Moreover, it will help developers and manufacturers of smartphones concerning aspects that are appropriate for smartphone and app design, particularly for older users.

Entrepreneurship barriers faced by Pakistani female students in relation to their entrepreneurial inclinations and entrepreneurial success

PurposeThe current environment is unhelpful to female entrepreneurs, and they need to overcome numerous barriers when starting their own businesses. In this study, the researchers investigated the significant barriers that Pakistani female entrepreneurs require to overcome in this respect.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, the researchers used a quantitative study and they used a questionnaire to survey the respondents and collect cross-sectional data. The researchers targeted female students who were undertaking bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in different Pakistani public and private sector universities. Accordingly, the researchers based this study’s findings on the usable samples received from 498 Pakistani female students.FindingsThe researchers used a structural equation model (SEM) in this study and its findings highlight that aversion to risk (ATR) has an insignificant impact on entrepreneurial inclinations (EI). In addition, fear of failure (FoF), lack of resources (LoR), aversion to hard work and stress (ASH) and the lack of social networking (LSN) have negative and insignificant effects on EI. The ATR factor has an insignificant effect on entrepreneurial success (ES), whereas FoF, LoR, ASH and LSN are negative and insignificant predictors of Pakistani female students’ ES.Practical implicationsThis study’s findings may help Pakistani women to overcome the barriers to ES. In this respect, the researchers recommend that the Pakistan Government and policymakers develop significant strategies to provide the conducive business environment and to financially support Pakistani women to start their own businesses. Furthermore, this study’s findings contribute greatly to the vast amount of current literature and help to overcome the entrepreneurial conditions and barriers that potential entrepreneurs from advanced and developing countries experience frequently.Originality/valueThis study’s findings provide empirical evidence of EI and ES in Pakistan.

Visualizing the Human Body Using an Artistic Approach.

This chapter describes an innovative approach to the cross-disciplinary study of anatomy and art to facilitate visualization of the human body. We draw upon the literature, together with our own experience of designing, delivering and researching a cross-disciplinary art and anatomy course, to indicate the critical elements of the approach that foster students' visualization of the anatomy of the human body.Visual arts have been linked with anatomy for centuries, but typically biomedical science has existed in a utilitarian relationship with art only used as an aid. In this chapter, we discuss the rationale underpinning a cross-disciplinary anatomy and art course and describe our experience of devising activities and assessment that create a stimulating and mutually beneficial environment for visualizing the experience and physicality of the human body. We describe the structure of the course which integrates art and anatomy to train students in the language of anatomy and visual representation, by engaging them in a process of attempting their own visual communication. The cross-disciplinary nature of our approach creates a unique social environment that offers a supportive environment for exploration and experimentation without fear of failure. Students' personal growth in resilience, tolerance for uncertainty and creativity prepares them for the inclusion of these values in their career.
