Background: Problematic Internet gaming (PIG), considered an early stage of Internet gaming addiction (IGA), has become increasingly prevalent among adolescents. This study focused on deviant peer affiliation (DPA) and hedonic gaming experience (HGE) as key mediators and examined four psychosocial risk factors closely related to them: interpersonal incompetence (II), perceived stress (PS), frustration (FR), and emotional loneliness (EL). Specifically, the study investigated how these four psychosocial risk factors influence adolescents’ DPA, HGE, and PIG, and whether DPA and HGE mediate these relationships. Methods: Based on existing validated scales, we developed a questionnaire to measure these seven constructs (II, PS, FR, IC, DPA, HGE, and PIG), proposed 14 hypotheses, and collected 214 valid responses from adolescents. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the hypothesized model. Findings: The results showed that all 14 hypotheses were supported. Specifically, interpersonal incompetence significantly predicted perceived stress; stress led to frustration; and frustration, in turn, contributed to emotional loneliness. Furthermore, all four psychosocial risk factors significantly predicted deviant peer affiliation, hedonic gaming experience, and ultimately, problematic Internet gaming among adolescents. Both DPA and HGE mediated the effects of psychosocial risk factors on adolescent problematic Internet gaming (PIG), with the model explaining moderate-to-high variance. This study highlights the importance of segmenting adolescents into more specific subgroups based on the distinct developmental pathways leading to PIG. Implications: Understanding the step-by-step mechanisms and psychological drivers of different adolescent subtypes can provide a more solid foundation for early identification and targeted intervention efforts.

CV. XYZ is a company that works in the service sector and produces sports gloves (golf, equestrian, etc.). From production data, the number of requests for gloves increased greatly in June-October, the number of requests was above 5000. Workers felt tired due to age, level of pattern difficulty, type of glove material and age of machines so that many employees experienced fatigue which resulted in a decrease in work productivity. The aim of this research is to find out how high or large the mental load faced by workers at CV. Cahaya Setia Mulia using the NASA-TLX method. In this research, the population is the tailors at CV. XYZ, totaling 16 people. Based on the research results obtained, of the 16 respondents there were 9 respondents in the very high category, 2 respondents in the high category, and 4 respondents in the somewhat high category. And of the 6 NASA-TLX indicators, the highest indicator is Physical Demands (PD) of 76.0 and the lowest is the Frustration (FR) indicator of 58.7. Proposed improvements include adding 5 tailors to the workforce of 5 tailors, 2 madome tailors, 1 zigzag tailor or increasing rest time to 1 hour and reducing working hours on Saturdays to 5 hours.

Background – Mental workload is the difference between the workload demands of a task and capacity. Mental workload is a human evaluation or assessment of the limits of attentional load while carrying out tasks optimally, which is influenced by the workload demands of a task and the worker's capacity to handle the task, especially for students who carry out work activities while studying. Therefore, it is necessary to examine how much mental workload is actually borne by student workers so that the negative impacts it causes can be minimized. Aim – To measure the mental workload of student workers at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Muhammadiyah University of Gresik using the NASA-TLX method Design / methodology / approach – The research approach used is Quantitative Descriptive. Quantitative data was obtained from the results of questionnaire responses from student workers at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Muhammadiyah University of Gresik regarding the level of mental workload using the NASA-TLX method. Findings – High mental workload can have a negative impact on a person's mental health, especially for students who work while studying. Mental workload is defined as the difference between task demands and an individual's capacity to handle the task, focusing more on the mental aspect than the physical. Students who work while studying often experience fatigue, lack of time to rest and socialize, and experience sleep disorders and stress which can reduce their academic and work performance. Therefore, it is important to measure and analyze the level of mental workload experienced by student workers in order to reduce its negative impact. The method used to measure mental workload is NASA-TLX (Task Load Index). Conclusion – Student workers at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Muhammadiyah University of Gresik experience a high mental workload, with the time demand indicator (Temporal Demand/TD) having the highest weight and the level of effort (Effort/EF) getting the highest score. The time requirement (TD) indicator most dominantly influences their mental workload, while the level of frustration (FR) has the lowest influence. Overall, their average mental workload score was in the high category, namely 77.64. Research implication – This research is aimed at students who are studying while working, with the aim of measuring the level of mental load that objects experience. The load in question is a high mental workload, with indicators of time requirements (Temporal Demand/TD), level of effort (Effort/EF) and indicators of time requirements (TD), as well as levels of frustration (Frustration/FR). Limitations – The limitations of this research only include the mental workload variable on the research object (student workers)

PT XYZ has packer workers tasked with packing tissue on the production floor. In their work, problems often arise related to employees' mental workloads, such as overtime due to irregular working hours, work stress, boredom, accumulation of work, and others. This paper aims to determine the value of mental workload in PT XYZ packer workers and identify factors that cause mental workload so that recommendations for improvement can be given. The subjects of this study were four packers. Data processing was carried out using the NASA - Task Load Index (TLX) method, which has six aspects, namely Mental Demand (MD), Physical Demand 9PD), Temporal Demand (TD), Own Performance (OP), Effort (EF), and Frustration (FR). The results showed that two packers had mental workload scores in the high category above 80, with the highest value of 83,6. So that recommendations can be given for improvements to the work environment and company managerial.

Introduction: Selecting a prosthetic knee mechanism is an important part of transfemoral (TF) amputee rehabilitation. Prosthetic knee joint selection depends on the users' gait and their energy consumption. This study compares the feedback of transfemoral prosthesis users based on the prosthetic knee design self-reporting responses using the Prosthetic Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ) outcome measure.Objective: This study aims to assess the impact of using a microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee (MCPK) compared with a non-microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee (NMCPK); feedback on the amputee usage can improve the clinical decision for proper prosthetic knee joint selection.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with a total of 76 adult unilateral transfemoral amputees classified into two groups. The participants in the first group (38) used the MCPK (Genium, Otto Bock, Minneapolis, MN, USA), and the participants in the second group (38) used the NMCPK (hydraulic and total knee joints). Enrolment was based on a sequence of appointments where all participants answered the PEQ, with different subscale questions including utility (UT), sounds (SO), appearance (AP), residual limb health (RL), frustration (FR), perceived response (PR), social burden (SB), ambulation (AM), and quality of life (QoL). PEQ was filled out during the follow-up appointments at the prosthetic clinic through a visual analog scale (VAS). All data entered into a database were analyzed.Result: The MCPK participants have significantly improved utility, appearance, ambulation, and total PEQ score, the same results as the male participants. Middle-adulthood (25-40 years) MCPK participants have a significant p-value in the score of utility, frustration, ambulation, and total PEQ score compared to early-adulthood (18-24 years) and late-adulthood (41-60 years) participants. Also, there was a significant improvement in the p-value in ambulation scores in participants using MCPK with amputations caused by diseases compared to amputations caused by trauma and congenital cause.Conclusion: Transfemoral amputee prosthesis utility, natural gait, and ambulation improved when using MCPK compared to when using NMCPK during prosthetic rehabilitation.

Something recurring in courses in the area of Information Technology is the difficulty with disciplines focused on computer programming. Some factors that contribute to this problem are the lack of support for students since it can be impossible for the teacher to provide uninterrupted monitoring to each student, due to the volume of requests that may arise. As a result, he is not always able to meet all requests, causing dissatisfaction or frustration among students. In this context, several studies have been carried out to seek solutions to this problem, and several technologies have been developed and tested to solve it. One of them is the use of a chatbot, a widely accepted tool in this context, a robot that is available 24 hours to answer questions from students. In this work, a systematic review was carried out in search of works that research and develop chatbots aimed at teaching programming. As a result, 24 works were selected classified according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.

3d transition-metal oxide materials with strong electron correlations and low dimensionality give rise to emerging exotic phases. Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) has developed as a powerful spectroscopic tool for probing the collective excitations in such correlated materials. The RIXS technique provides an ideal approach for assessing electronic instabilities in condensed matter. This thesis comprises the experimental RIXS response of the spin chain-ladder cuprates Sr14-xCax(Cu,Co)24O41 and frustrated honeycomb nickelate Na2Ni2TeO6. The spin and charge excitations of Sr14-xCaxCu24O41 (x=0 & 12.2) are studied by Cu L3-edge RIXS. With increasing Ca content, a crossover from collective two-triplon excitations (x=0) to a damped incoherent magnetic spectrum ~280 meV (x=12.2) in the ladders is uncovered from the RIXS spectra, dominated by spin-flip Î S=1 scattering. With model calculations, the localized broad magnetic mode at x=12.2 is shown to be a consequence of enhanced elecrtronic localization. This is supported by polarization-dependent measurements, where the evaluated non-spin-flip Î S=0 scattering is showing weight depletion below 1 eV. The RIXS spectral evolution suggests that a suppressed carrier mobility dominates the low-energy physics in Ca-rich phases. The low-energy excitations of Sr14Cu24O41 are also studied by O K-edge RIXS at the upper Hubbard band. The RIXS spectra show a sharp dispersing peak of similar energies to the Î S=1 two-triplon excitations, and a broad non-dispersive mode at higher-energy. By comparing the experimental results to the existing theories of doped ladders, the observed spectral modes are attributed to interacting holon-spinon quasiparticles, with additional spectral contributions from the Î S=0 multi-triplon bound states and continuum. These observations highlight the RIXS capability for resolving composite spin-charge quasiparticles and long-lived Î S=0 magnetic excitations, which are difficult to detect by other experiments. Charge order and phonons for the two-leg ladders of Sr14(Cu,Co)24O41 are studied. At the ladder hole peak in O K-edge XAS signal, a concomitant elastic enhancement and phonon-softening is observed across all Co doping levels. The in-plane diffraction and phonon-softening response are found to enhance with increasing Co doping. Morevoer, the observed diffraction signal is further characterized by energy- and temperature-dependent measurements. Lastly, given the strong electron-phonon coupling (EPC) observed in O K-edge RIXS spectra, the EPC strength can be analyzed from the RIXS intensity decay of the phonon overtones . The observed in-plane resonant diffraction and inelastic phonon response strongly suggest an enhanced stripe order via magnetic impurities, reminiscent of the reports in CuO4 plaquettes. Electronic structure and EPC of the honeycomb nickelate Na2Ni2TeO6 are studied. Compared with current literature, the localized excitations (1-4 eV) in the Ni L3-edge RIXS spectra are dominated by the crystal-field splitting of a Ni2+ ion in octahedral coordination. At the O K-edge, the large EPC ~285 meV with 5 recognizable overtones (frequency of ~80 meV) are revealed in the RIXS spectra. The observed modes provide a systematic characterization of charge, orbital and lattice dynamics for a newly proposed frustrated antiferromagnet. This thesis has been carried out in a collaboration between the Paul Scherrer Institut and the Laboratory for Quantum Magnetism at EPFL.

Schizophrenia is one of the serious mental disorders that requires long-term care and medication. Clients with schizophrenia have a relapse period. When a relapse occurs, they require inpatient services at the hospital. A relapse of clients with schizophrenia triggers physical and psychological fatigue, anxiety, and frustration; the sources of stressors which can disrupt the balance of the family system. The study aimed to explore the family psycho-education to decrease the anxiety triggered among family. The results of the nursing intervention found unveiled to decrease the signs and symptoms of anxiety experienced by families. The findings also showed the increasing knowledge and ability of the family members in taking caring of clients with schizophrenia. This study recommended to provide psycho-education as part of comprehensive nursing care for schizophrenia patients and their families

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between perceived organizational climate and teachers' levels of organizational creativity and organizational cynicism. In the research, a relational screening model was used. The population of the study consists of 1974 teachers working in 65 secondary schools in Batman city centre during the 2017-2018 academic year. The sample of the study consists of 756 teachers working in 24 secondary schools selected via the cluster sampling method. In this research, the “Organizational Climate Scale”, “Organizational Creativity Scale”, and “Organizational Cynicism Scale” were used. It was determined that the perceptions of the teachers of organizational climate, organizational creativity, and organizational cynicism were statistically significant differences in some of the independent variables used in the research. As a result of the correlation analysis, supportive principal behaviors, intimate teacher behaviors and engaged teacher behaviors were found to be positive and moderate in terms of organizational creativity levels of organizational climate. There was a positive and low-level relationship between the behaviors of directive principals and organizational creativity of teachers, a negative and low-level relationship between careless teacher behaviors and organizational creativity levels of teachers. There was a negative and moderate relationship between supportive principal behaviors and organizational cynicism levels of teachers, a negative and low-level relationship between intimate teacher behaviors and engaged teacher behaviors and teachers' organizational cynicism levels; a positive and low-level relationship between directive principal behaviours and frustrated principals and organizational cynicism levels of teachers, and a positive and moderate relationship between careless teacher behaviors and teachers' organizational cynicism levels. There was a negative and moderate relationship between organizational creativity and organizational cynicism levels of teachers. As a result of the regression analysis, it was determined that perceived organizational climate is a significant predictor of teachers' organizational creativity and organizational cynicism levels.

A Supermarket or hypermarket is a shop that provides a wide variety of products available. The products available in these markets are household products, vegetable, grocery. The main Moto of these markets is to provide all type of products in one place to save time of customers but sometime customers get frustrated because many people are standing in queue for billing purpose, sometimes customer get confused when comparing the total price of all the products with the budget before the billing .To get the solution of this, a new ‘E-Shopping Trolley’ is proposed. In this paper we are developing android application where the customer has to scan product barcode which they wish to purchase. The scanned product is automatically dropped into the shopping card of customer and then the customer can make payment online or at the billing counter. We have proposed a technique which means to decrease the customers time and reduce the labours.

Прикладная сверхпроводимость: разочарования и надежды

The term pelvic floor dyssynergia is commonly used interchangeably with the terms anismus, dyssynergic defecation or puborectalis syndrome. Patients with PFD commonly present with chronic constipation. The prevalence among the general population can range from 20-70% and among constipated patients it has been reported as high as 60%. This defecation disorder is basically caused by failure of relaxation or paradoxical contraction of the external anal sphincter and the puborectalis sling during defecation. Although there is no clear pathophysiological cause for this disorder, it has been linked to several factors such as abuse in childhood, poor toilet training, difficult childbirth, previous pelvic surgery or other psychological factors. The correct diagnosis is key to treating PFD and it starts with a thorough history and physical exam including a well performed digital rectal examination. Appropriate investigations following the initial visit can help to confirm the diagnosis and then treatment is prescribed accordingly. The patient should understand the nature of her constipation problem and participate fully in the management. The treatment is mainly conservative with diet, biofeedback and physiotherapy as the cornerstones of management. A multidisciplinary team approach will help for successful management of the patient. Surgery is normally not necessary for these patients and is only performed in extremely difficult refractory cases. By taking the time to make the correct diagnosis, patients with PFD can avoid frustration, unnecessary testing and surgery.

In this study, we aimed to analyze the behavioral profile of volleyball coaches of youth categories from both the athletes' and the coaches' perspectives. One hundred ten athletes and 18 head coaches and assistant coaches who participated in the 2018 clubs' Brazilian volleyball championship (Campeonato Brasileiro Interclubes de Voleibol) filled the athlete and coach version, respectively, of the Brazilian version of the Coach Behavior Scale for Sport. The reporting of the goal-setting dimension was not aligned between coaches and athletes (z = 17, p = 0.012, d = 0.78), while no differences were found for the other dimensions (physical training and planning, technical skills, mental preparation, personal rapport, and negative rapport). The mismatch between the perceptions of coaches and athletes for the goal-setting dimension may be related to an underestimation or overestimation by coaches or athletes of the team's potential and inadequate coach-athlete communication. Coaches should manage their behavior to clearly state for the athletes their personal and collective goals, avoiding frustration, and promoting more commitment with the set goals, increasing the team's chances of success.

This chapter focuses on an ongoing ethnographic research enquiring into West-African migrants’ and refugees’ trauma narratives mediated by a use of English as a ‘lingua franca’ (ELF) in Italian contexts of intercultural communication. The six case studies under investigation apply a construct built on models of Cognitive-Experiential Linguistics, Possible-Worlds Semantics and Modal Logic to the discourse analysis of Nigerian migrants’ ELF-mediated trauma narratives. Ethnographic data show that such trauma narratives are prevalently characterized by features from the migrants’ typologically-different native languages which come to be transferred into their ELF variations at the levels of: ergative clause structures, modality, idiomatic lexicon, and metaphorical patterns of a metaphysical kind. More specifically, it has been observed that, in such narratives, migrants often employ modal operators in the description of much- desired ‘possible worlds’ projected into a transcendental dimension triggered by their strong feelings and emotions which transfigure traumatic events and their effects into personifications of supernatural entities taking the animate agentive shapes, in ergative- subject position, of cruel Yoruba deities, or imaginary monsters often generated by a process of hybridization between parallel mythological creatures in both native and host cultures. In the case studies in point – making reference to a wider corpus of ELF- mediated West-African migrants’ and refugees’ trauma narratives (Guido 2018) – it has been noticed that the Nigerian migrants’ degree of psychological resilience to traumatic experiences is determined by their more or less optimistic prospects on the achievement of the much-desired ‘possible worlds’ which they represent in their minds as a sort of ‘utopia’, in contrast with the ‘dystopian real world’ that they have sadly experienced. In particular, the corpus of trauma narratives reveals the frequent occurrence of specific patterns in association with a four-level gradient ranging from possible, unreal, and impossible utopian worlds up to – as a more recent development triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic – a much-too-real dystopian world. Each of these degrees have been defined as trauma narratives of, respectively: ‘hope’, ‘frustration’, ‘despair’, and ‘urge of stampede’.

As I learn more about Indigenous epistemologies in my work at OCAD University through the Indigenous Visual Culture program, I feel a complex state of excitement, hope, and frustration: hopefulness due to a vision that the fusion of Indigenous and Western European knowledge systems holds such promise for creating a new, equitable and truly democratic society for all Canadians, yet profound frustration knowing that we have had hundreds of years and countless treaties, reports, and governmental commissions to build this society but have, so far, failed to do so;a failure that is to the detriment of all in Canada By my presence in Toronto as a member of the settler population, I must accept my implication in the injustices of cultural genocide, but I can also view myself as a participant in the treaty obligations symbolically encoded in the wampum belt agreements and other treaty documents signed with First Nations across Canada Decolonising has been termed as ‘knowledge work’4 and I will do everything in my power to meet this challenge and, through my work as librarian, spread knowledge about how our country can be re-envisioned Indigenous knowledge systems are grounded in thousands of years of living on the land in North America and it is now time for us in the settler populations to sit down and listen and learn I want Canada truly to be my home and Native land and not a home on Native land As we try to navigate through the current Covid-19 pandemic situation, I am firmly convinced that many of its disruptive and devastating effects could have been avoided if we had only embedded the principles of the Dish with One Spoon alliance into the fabric of our Canadian society

Kiwi frustration

Medieval poets, in particular trouveres and troubadours from the eleventh and twelfth centuries, often conjure the game metaphor to express the frustration and the suffering that love arouses. Passion, from these poets’ point of view, cannot be defined merely as a form of erotic dalliance. It is, on the contrary, a chaste and demanding mode of relationship that requires patience and devotion, resting upon the idea that an unfulfilled desire, paradoxically, is the surest path to enjoyment. Games, especially chess and dice, reflect the desperate condition of the poet who claims a sublimated love, but does not face any other choice but the cruel acceptance of a perpetual longing. Just as the player hopes for victory, but suffers only defeat and ruins himself, the lover pleads for himself, but never achieves his lady’s favours. Madness and despair are his two only options. In this regard, a comparative approach to the topic of chess and dice in the trouveres and troubadours ’ poetry demonstrates the close concordances between poets who share a same conception of love, but do not necessarily summon the same images to express their ambivalent submission to its power. Therefore, this study offers a way to analyse the part that the game metaphor plays into conveying different representations of courtly love in French and Occitan lyric poetry.

Working memory is the capacity for keeping current information in mind for a brief period, while using this information for the task at hand. It is the ‘workbench’ where current thinking takes place. Children having working memory problems take a longer time to process information. They are not capable to cope with timed activities and speedy demonstration of information. As an effect, they often end up deserting the activities out of frustration. The current research attempts to compare the working memory of university students who were involved in voluntary agriculture work as selfless work, and those not involved in voluntary agriculture work. A sample of 100 female students was selected, out of which 50 students were regularly doing voluntary agriculture work as social/ community service and 50 students were not involved in voluntary agriculture work. To measure the working memory, three sub-tests from WAIS-IIIUK, Third Edition (Wechsler, 1998) was used. The data was analysed on the basis of Mann-Whitney U Test. Results showed that students involved in voluntary agriculture work have better working memory (Zu = 2.730, p
