The Role of Social Problem-Solving and Prosocial Behavior in First Aid Willingness among Adolescents in Hungary.

First aid is a key factor in preventing further deterioration in an accident, saving lives, or improving treatment in emergencies. However, the reasons behind the willingness to provide first aid are still unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of social problem-solving and prosocial behavior in the dimension of first aid willingness. Self-administered questionnaires were used to evaluate the dimensions of first aid willingness (first aid willingness for peers, first aid willingness for strangers, knowledge, and negative emotions), social problem solving (positive problem orientation, negative problem orientation, rational problem solving, avoidance style, and impulsivity/carelessness) and prosocial behavior. A total of 497 school-aged students between the ages of 12 and 15 years (201 boys and 296 girls) participated in this study. Our results showed that positive problem orientation (p < 0.05) and rational problem solving (p < 0.001) are significant factors in determining first aid willingness for both peers and strangers. On the other hand, avoidance style orientation (p < 0.05) has a negative influence on the willingness to provide first aid to peers and strangers. Negative problem orientation (p < 0.001) only predicted negative emotions related to emergencies. Furthermore, prosocial behavior (p < 0.001) was more strongly associated with first aid willingness than social problem solving. Our study suggested that improving social competence could be a key factor in increasing first aid provision in real time, which could save lives in emergencies.

Students bypass the syllabus to utilize alternate LMS locations for assignment deadlines.

The syllabus is a required document for all courses to provide students with course information, policies, and assignment deadlines. The goals of this study were to investigate students' perception of the role of the syllabus, preferred location of assignment deadlines, and preferred style of receiving deadline notifications. Faculty (n = 14) and students (n = 324) from community colleges through professional schools were invited to participate and complete a survey. We used a mixed-method design of survey questions, and the results demonstrated that students defined a syllabus as both a contract and a learning tool and that it should be flexible. Students ranked assignment deadlines as the most important part of the syllabus, yet a follow-up question indicated that most referred to four distinct locations in their learning management system (LMS) to find these deadlines. Although students preferred to receive deadline notifications on their smartphones, they also wanted to be reminded by faculty in class. This study helps faculty to obtain a glimpse of current student practices. We recommend that faculty communicate with students the role and expected use of the syllabus in their course while emphasizing its use to identify deadlines. This renewed practice will be time well spent to avoid student confusion and missed deadlines.NEW & NOTEWORTHY With the adoption of learning management systems (LMSs), students may no longer rely on the syllabus to locate or confirm assignment deadlines and instead rely on various LMS locations, which may not be accurate. We suggest that faculty consider taking the time to review the role and use of the syllabus on the first day of class to ensure that students know where to access current assignment deadlines to avoid confusion and missed deadlines.

The Relationship between Philosophical Tendencies and Teaching Style Preferences of Physical Education Teacher Candidates

The teaching methods employed by teachers are interconnected with their educational philosophy tendencies. Determining teacher candidates' teaching style preferences and philosophical orientations toward education, as well as studying their relationship, might provide insights about the classroom environment they will establish when they begin their teaching career in the future. To examine this connection, this study aimed to compare the educational philosophy tendencies of PE teacher candidates, their preferred teaching styles, and their value perceptions of styles based on gender and grade levels and to determine if there is a relationship between philosophical tendencies and teaching style preferences. The research included 242 PE teacher candidates. The study utilized the "Physical Education Teachers' Use of Teaching Styles and Perceptions of Styles Questionnaire" and "Educational Philosophy Tendencies Scale" for data collection. The data was analyzed using independent samples t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation analysis. The research results revealed that among the educational philosophy tendencies of PE teacher candidates, there was only a difference in the essentialist philosophy of education according to gender, and there was no difference according to grade level. However, it was observed that the teaching style preferences of PE teacher candidates did not differ according to gender and grade level. The study revealed a correlation between the preferred teaching styles, the value perceptions of these styles, and the educational philosophy approaches of teacher candidates.

Changes in the Fashion Preferences of Women in their Twenties according to Awareness of in Gender Equality

In response to recent changes in gender equality and social awareness among female college students, we sought to investigate whether there were corresponding changes in their preferred fashion styles and items. A survey was conducted with 200 women in their twenties to determine whether they were aware of gender equality and social change, as well as their preferred fashion styles and items at both the time of college admission and the current time. Awareness of gender equality was divided into two factors: feminism and a perceived increase in women’s social power. A significant difference was observed in the fashion styles of female college students in their twenties between the time of admission and the current time. Compared with the past, the preferred style has changed to gender-neutral rather than feminine, useful rather than aesthetics, character rather than fashion, sporty rather than elegance, and casual rather than formal. Preferred items included pants rather than skirts, sneakers rather than shoes, socks rather than stockings, long skirts rather than short skirts, and backpacks rather than handbags. The level of attention paid to campus attire per week decreased over time. No correlation was found between gender equality awareness and preferred fashion style, while feminism was correlated with preferred fashion items. The degree to which attention was paid to campus attire per week was correlated with feminism, but was not correlated with a perceived increase in womens’ social power.

Terjemahan Ungkapan Slang dalam Novel To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before karya Jenny Han

The current issue in the translation process is the inappropriate choice of technique, which affects the accuracy and acceptability of the translation, as well as the need to identify slang expressions from the source language to the target language to ensure the style aligns with the target language's characteristics. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the techniques used to translate slang expressions from English (the source language) into Indonesian (the target language) using the theories of Butkuiviena and Petrulionē (2010), and Vinay and Darbelnet (1995) in the novel To All The Boys I've Loved Before, while also analyzing the linguistic style of the slang translation from English into Indonesian using Joos's theory (1967). The research method employed is qualitative, with document analysis for data collection. Meanwhile, the data analysis method uses thematic analysis. The results show that the most dominant technique used by translators for translating slang expressions is the literal technique. This finding suggests that the literal translation technique is generally capable of accommodating and sufficiently accurate in translating slang expressions in this novel, which features light and casual language use. Given that the novel narrates a simple teenage story, the dominant linguistic style in the translation of slang expressions is casual style. This finding reflects that the novel's style closely resembles the preferred linguistic style of young readers, who tend to be more relaxed, friendly, and open.

Evaluation of GIScience Exercise Using Online Educational Materials for Japanese University Students

GIScience is essential to geography education. Different curriculums and textbooks have been developed to teach GIScience in classrooms through lectures and exercises corresponding to the educational situation of each country. We developed e-learning materials based on existing research outcomes for GIScience education in Japan, such as the Japanese GIS core curriculum for university education. Using the materials, we held a three-day intensive GIScience class at the University of Tokyo from 2018 to 2022 with questionnaire surveys to investigate the educational effects of the materials and factors influencing GIScience learning. The attending students browsed the materials and studied GIScience by themselves but asked questions of teachers if necessary. The questionnaire survey results indicate that most students felt geospatial data processing is somewhat complex, but they were satisfied with the opportunity of GIScience learning. Whether the students thought the exercise was simple and easy depended on their confidence in computer knowledge and operation and their preferred learning style at their own pace. The students’ satisfaction level and ease in using the material correlate with their motivation level, the number of questions they asked the others, and their preferred style for learning at their own pace.

Navigating the Storm; Effective Crisis Communication Strategies

This article explores the critical role of effective crisis communication in navigating organizational challenges. It highlights the importance of proactive planning, transparency, and empathy in mitigating the negative impact of crises and preserving stakeholder trust. The introduction emphasizes the growing interconnectedness of the world and the frequency of crises faced by organizations. These crises can significantly impact reputation, operations, and even survival. The article defines crisis communication as a public relations strategy aimed at protecting an organization during a public challenge to its reputation. Following this, the piece delves into the importance of effective crisis communication. Research indicates that poorly managed communication can escalate crises into public relations disasters. The Tylenol poisoning incident of 1982 serves as a prime example, where Johnson &amp; Johnson's swift and transparent response helped restore public trust. Effective crisis communication strategies contribute to preserving reputation, maintaining trust, ensuring legal compliance, protecting stakeholder interests, and facilitating organizational learning and improvement. The article then outlines essential steps for navigating a crisis through communication. It emphasizes the importance of proactive planning, including identifying potential crises, establishing communication protocols, and outlining response strategies. Transparency is a crucial element, as withholding information can erode trust and fuel speculation. Additionally, empathy and acknowledging the concerns of those affected by the crisis are vital for fostering understanding and support. Furthermore, the article details the creation of a crisis communication plan. This plan should establish clear objectives and key messages, assemble a dedicated crisis communication team with diverse expertise, and allocate sufficient resources for effective communication. Moving on, the article explores specific techniques for effective crisis communication. Open and transparent communication forms the cornerstone, even amid uncertainties. It highlights the need to balance transparency with responsible communication, acknowledging limitations when necessary. Regular and consistent communication updates are crucial for building trust. Timely and accurate information dissemination is equally important. Delays can create a space for misinformation to flourish. Establishing clear communication protocols beforehand ensures a swift and coordinated response when a crisis strikes. Utilizing a multi-channel approach, encompassing press briefings, social media engagement, and website announcements, empowers organizations to effectively communicate with all stakeholders. Finally, the article emphasizes tailoring messages to different stakeholders. Employees, customers, and investors will each have distinct information needs and preferred communication styles. Addressing these variations ensures effective crisis response and fosters understanding during turbulent times.

Social Axioms and Problem-Solving Styles in an Institutional Environment

What are social axioms and problem-solving styles, and how do they fit in the professional environment of higher education? The research seeks an answer to the question in a sample of 34 university lecturers using a shortened and an easier-to-use version of SAS test and Kirton KAI Inventory for the styles. Verification in the environment of SPSS 23 shows a uniform distribution and high values of Cronbach’s reliability coefficient. The axioms Effort-Reward and Social Complexity are leading for the respondents. Efficiency and Conformity are the leading decision-making styles. The values of the subscales Originality, Effort- Reward and Social Complexity are below 0.7. No correlation has been found between the professional experience of the researched subjects and the studied social axioms and problem-solving styles. A partial one has the university position in one of the styles and two structural components of the social axioms. Only in one case ANOVA confirms the hypothesis of a correlation between the social axioms’ subscales and problem-solving styles (Destiny Control-Conformity). Social axioms and preferred problem-solving styles appear to show some flexibility. Their leading components satisfactorily fit into the conditions of the professional activity of the studied lecturers.

The comparison of the coping styles between patients in ultra- high risk for psychosis state, first episode of psychosis and chronic schizophrenia.

Aim of the studyThe aim of this study was to investigate differences in coping styles between individuals at ultra high risk for psychosis, with first episode psychosis, chronic schizophrenia and healthy controls.Subject or material and methodsA total of 167 individuals with chronic schizophrenia (CHS; n=66), first episode psychosis (FEP; n=31), at ultra high risk for psychosis (UHR; n=16) and healthy controls (HC; n=54) were recruited to complete the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) to investigate their preferred coping styles. Demographic data were collected using a short self-designed questionnaire.ResultsOur results demonstrated all participants’ preference for mixed coping (i.e. a strategy in which two or three styles are applied with similar frequency). The second choice across the control group was task-oriented, and in the clinical groups - emotion-oriented coping. Interestingly, task-oriented coping was significantly more frequent in controls relative to the clinical groups, while the frequency of emotion-oriented coping did not differ significantly across our sample. Avoidance-oriented coping was reported significantly more frequently in the CHS compared to both HC and UHR.DiscussionThis study demonstrates differences in coping with stressful situations between patients at various stages of psychosis and healthy individuals.ConclusionsTherapeutic interventions for patients from the psychosis spectrum should include education on coping with stress and practical training of coping skills.

Plant-based diets: obesity prejudice and body self-perception relations in young females

BACKGROUND: In recent years, plant-based diets and their effects on health have gained attention. This diet has become a preferred dietary style for managing obesity. Weight gain is influenced by various factors, such as low body image perception and obesity prejudice. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the prevalence of plant-based diets among female students and their associations with obesity prejudice and body self-perception. METHODS: The research was conducted with 450 female university students. The anthropometric measurements were obtained based on self-reporting. the GAMS-27 Obesity Prejudice Scale and the Multidimensional Body-Self Relationship Questionnaire (MBSRQ) were applied to evaluate obesity prejudice and body self-perception, respectively. RESULTS: The study found no significant differences in anthropometric measurements between omnivores and vegetarians (p &gt; 0.05). However, 78.6% of the students showed some level of tendency toward prejudice or prejudice against obesity. There was no significant relationship between body weight, BMI, and obesity prejudice in both dietary groups (p &gt; 0.05). Yet, vegetarians had significantly lower mean scores on the MBRSQ, indicating body image dissatisfaction (p &lt; 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: While the anthropometric measurement and prejudice against obesity did not yield notable results, significantly lower scores on the MBSRQ indicated greater dissatisfaction with body image in vegetarians.

The Neuromyth of learning styles

In recent years, neuroscience has gained prominence in the field of education. However, those who seek to learn about neuroscience on their own may encounter inaccurate information or misconceptions about neuroscientific findings, known as neuromyths. One of the most widespread myths among educators is the one about Learning Styles (LS), which suggests that students learn best when information is presented according to their preferred style. This study aimed to investigate the perception of Biological Sciences students at the University of Brasília (UnB) regarding this neuromyth. To achieve this, an online questionnaire was administered to the participants. The results indicated that students have a positive view of Learning Styles. Therefore, it is necessary to debunk this neuromyth in the academic environment by integrating the study of neuroscience and educational neuromyths into initial teacher education through courses, research projects, and extension activities.

Algorithm Optimization of Computer Simulation Vehicle Driving Simulation System Based on Virtual Reality Technology

The traditional automobile driving simulation system has the problems of low calculation efficiency and lack of realism. The traditional automobile driving simulation system with low computational efficiency and lack of realism limits the learning effect. Through virtual reality technology, vehicle driving can be simulated. By optimizing the algorithm of simulating vehicle driving simulation system, the preference of testers for driving style is investigated and the driver's preference style is determined. Finally, through the automatic driving simulation test method based on genetic algorithm, the key scenes can be divided into 11 different types, and the Euclidean distance of these 11 types is analyzed. Most drivers prefer a more conservative autonomous driving style. When analyzing 11 key scenario types, the Euclidean distance between scenario 2 and scenario 3 is the smallest, which is 33 m, and the maximum Euclidean distance between scenario 6 and scenario 11 is 91 m. The difference between scene 2 and scene 3 is the smallest, while the difference between scene 6 and scene 11 is the largest, and there are differences between each scene. Through virtual reality technology and algorithm optimization, the performance and user experience of driving simulation system are improved.

A86 INFORMING MODERN CARE FOR CANADIAN IBD PATIENTS: A PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED TRIAL ON APPOINTMENT TYPES

Abstract Background There is now significant data supporting virtual care (telehealth or telephone) as a means to provide care to IBD patients with equivalent outcomes to in-person care. Many studies assessing virtual care lack a control group and suffer from recall bias. Further, there is a lack of understanding individual patient appointment style preferences and the reasons for these preferences. Aims We aimed to determine patient’s preferred appointment styles and to inform these preferences by assessing demographic factors and other appointment related factors (e.g. cost, time required, communication, privacy etc). We hypothesize that this information may help to inform decisions regarding choosing the optimal appointment for patients. Methods In this single centre randomized trial we assigned IBD patients to in-person, telehealth (with video), or telephone appointments in a sequential manner. To minimize recall bias, surveys were completed after each appointment style. All participants had demographic data collected and survey data was compiled using UBC redcap. Standard regression analyses and T-scores were used for assessment of statistical significance. Results After exclusion of surveys with incomplete data, a total of 81 surveys were included, 27 in-person, 28 telephone, and 26 telehealth. The overall scores (out of ten) were 9.1 ±1.0, 7.8 ±2.1, and 8.0 ±2.6 for in-person, telephone and telehealth appointments respectively. With exclusion of telehealth appointments which suffered technical difficulties (n=6) the overall score improved and range was comparable to in-person appointments (8.9 ±1.2). In-person appointments were associated with a higher cost and longer time commitment but had the highest scores across all appointment features (e.g. perceived privacy, physician engagement etc.). Among patients who would have preferred an in-person appointment optimal communication (80.0%) and interaction with care provider (83.3%) were prioritized. Conversely, among participants who would have preferred telehealth appointments, time savings (71.4%) and cost savings (42.9%) were prioritized. Age, gender, number of dependents, and perceived privacy were not associated with any appointment style preference. Conclusions This study concludes that all appointment styles have certain benefits and drawbacks that individual patients may variably prioritize. In-person appointments had a higher cost and time requirement but still remained the highest rated appointment style. As virtual care continues to be part of the standard of care for patients with IBD, we suggest that providers individualize the style of patient appointment to their patients and the expected nature of that encounter.

However, the implementation of AI in education poses challenges such as data privacy, equity, and the preservation of the teacher-student relationship. Efforts should be made to address these challenges and fully harness the potential of deep learning and neural networks in education.

Teaching Styles and Pupils’ Learning Styles: Their Relationship with Pupils’ Academic Performance

The concept of teaching and learning styles suggests that every individual is unique. Every teacher teaches in his way, and every learner learns according to his preference. This study determines the relationship between the teachers’ teaching styles and the learning styles of the pupils and their academic performance. A total of (27) Grade 6 teachers and (208) Grade 6 pupils of public elementary schools of Lopez Jaena District, Division of Misamis Occidental participated in the study. Frequency counts, percentages, mean, and spearman rho correlation coefficient were the statistical tools used. Findings revealed that teachers teaching styles in the classroom, with expert being the most preferred style, followed by formal authority, facilitator, personal model and delegator respectively. The pupils used a variety of learning styles, with auditory being the most common, followed by visual and kinesthetics. Pupils demonstrated very satisfactory academic performance. Further, a significant relationship between teachers’ teaching styles and pupils’ learning styles, as well as a significant relationship between teachers’ teaching styles, pupils’ learning styles, and pupils’ academic performance shown. These suggest that teachers should consider adapting their teaching styles to match the learning styles of their pupils, which could potentially enhance their academic performance.
