Influence of Badminton Coaches on the Athletes’ Self-Efficacy

This study employed a correlational research method to examine the relationship between coaches’ self-efficacy – specifically in terms of emotion, optimism, work satisfaction and self-confidence -and athletes’ self-efficacy, which includes personality self- efficacy, sports discipline, psychological self-efficacy and professional thought efficacy. A purposive sampling technique was used to specifically select 10 badminton coaches. Meanwhile, stratified sampling was employed to proportionately distribute the 300 athletes from five universities, ensuring representation from different subgroups. This study found no significant correlation between coaches’ self-efficacy and athletes’ self-efficacy as indicated by the p values greatre than the .05 level of significance set in the study. Despite the Spearman rho coefficients ranging from moderate to high, these results were not statistically significant, these findings suggest that while there may be observable trends the relationship between coaches and athletes’ self-efficacy is not conclusively supported by the data.

Social, health and lifestyle-related determinants of older adults’ preferences for place of death in South Tyrol, Italy – a cross-sectional survey study

BackgroundAs the global aging population expands, understanding older adults’ preferences for place of death becomes pivotal in ensuring person-centered end-of-life care.ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the influence of sociodemographic, health, and lifestyle-related factors on end-of-life care preferences of older adults in South Tyrol, Italy.MethodsEmploying a cross-sectional design, a population-based survey was conducted with a stratified probabilistic sample of adults aged ≥ 75 years in South Tyrol (Autonomous Province of Bolzano/Bozen, Italy). From a randomly selected sample of 3,600 older adults, participants were invited to respond to a questionnaire that included items on older adults’ preferences for place of death and socio-demographic and health- and lifestyle-related factors, including frailty (e.g., PRISMA-7). Descriptive and multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed.ResultsThe majority (55.3%) of the 1,695 older adults (participation rate: 47%) expressed a preference for dying at home and 12.7% indicated a desire for specialized end-of-life care in a healthcare facility. However, 27.9% refrained from disclosing their end-of-life care preferences. The factors influencing these preferences concerning the place of death included age, native language, educational level, living situation, and community. Compared to the preference of dying at own home or home of family or friends, older adults aged ≥ 85 years (OR = 0.57, P = 0.002) and living in an urban area (OR = 0.40, P < 0.001) were less likely to prefer dying at a hospital, palliative care unit, or hospice. Older adults living alone (OR = 1.90, P < 0.001), Italian-speaking (OR = 1.46, P = 0.03), and those with an educational level above high school (OR = 1.69, P = 0.002) were more likely to prefer dying at a hospital, palliative care unit, or hospice.ConclusionsEnd-of-life care preferences among older adults in South Tyrol were associated with socio-demographic, yet not health- and lifestyle-related factors. Recognizing and integrating these preferences is essential for developing, implementing, and evaluating interventions to promote advance care planning and provide effective, patient-centered end-of-life care.

Predictors of organizational citizenship behavior among government personnel: A structural equation modeling approach

The study aimed to develop a causal paradigm of organizational citizenship behavior among government personnel in the SOCCSKSARGEN Region. 400 employees were selected through stratified balanced sampling. Data were collected using survey questionnaires and analyzed through the mean, Pearson r, multiple regression, and structural equation modeling. The study determined that quality of work life, employee silence, and political skill statistically correlate with organizational citizenship behavior. The study inferred the predictive capacity of the exogenous latent variables in influencing the organizational citizenship behavior of LGU employees. There were five generated models of organizational citizenship behavior, and model five was determined as the best-fit structural model. The model retained five quality indicators of work life, namely compensation and rewards, training and development, relationships and cooperation, organizational culture and climate, and work environment. Prosocial silence and acquiescent silence remained as indicators of employee silence. Political skill was narrowed to three indicators, comprising social astuteness, interpersonal influence, and networking ability. Finally, altruism and civic virtue emerged as the strongest indicators of organizational citizenship behavior.

Factors influencing health-promoting behavior among single mothers in Northeastern Malaysia: a cross-sectional study.

Health-promoting behaviors (HPB) play a vital role in maintaining and enhancing overall well-being. Single mothers are at higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and less involvement in HPB due to psychosocial disadvantages. This study aimed to determine the HPB scores and factors influencing HPB among single mothers in Kelantan (Northeastern, Malaysia). This study employed a cross-sectional design, selecting 242 single mothers from Kelantan through proportional stratified sampling. Data were gathered through questionnaires covering sociodemographic details, the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-II), the Malay Version of Health Beliefs Related to Cardiovascular Disease (HBCVD-M), and Multidimensional Perceived Social Support (MPSS). The relationships between the dependent variable (HPB) and independent variables were analyzed using multivariable linear regression models. The respondents achieved an average HPB score of 118.03 (SD = 19.2), with the highest mean scores in spiritual growth (22.46 [SD = 3.70]) and interpersonal relationships (22.05 [SD = 3.67]). Physical activity had the lowest mean score at 15.09 (SD = 4.62). Significant positive associations were found between HPB and perceived severity of CVD (adjusted β = 1.60; 95% CI [0.68-2.53]; p<0.001) as well as perceived social support (adjusted β = 0.63; 95% CI [0.37-0.90]; p<0.001). Conversely, educational level (adjusted β = -10.36; 95% CI [-16.06 to -4.67]; p<0.001) and perceived benefits of reducing CVD risk (adjusted β = -1.43; 95% CI [-2.37 to -0.48]; p<0.001) were negatively associated with HPB. The findings highlight the importance of health beliefs, social support, and education in shaping HPB among single mothers. Community health initiatives targeting this population should develop strategies to strengthen individuals' health beliefs and promote a supportive environment.

Socio-Demographic Characteristics and Adoption of Mobile Phone Applications for Improved Small-scale Commercial Agriculture in Makonde District, Zimbabwe

Mobile applications have provided a new way for agricultural transformation. This is set to revolutionise the agriculture sector with easy access to vital agricultural information on weather, market trends, pest, and disease management, and best agriculture practices to enhance agricultural productivity and profitability. However, there is a dearth of studies on the adoption of mobile applications in agriculture. It was important for this study to understand the impact of farmers’ demographic characteristics on the adoption of mobile applications in small-scale commercial agriculture. The study applied the quantitative research approach, a sample size of 213 small-scale commercial farmers, a descriptive cross-sectional research design, and the structured household questionnaire survey instrument, purposive random and stratified sampling techniques to collect primary data. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings of the study revealed a higher adoption rate of mobile applications among young farmers than old farmers. The study indicated that female small-scale commercial farmers adopted mobile applications than male farmers. The study revealed that the majority of small-scale commercial farmers were literate. Further, the study highlighted that married farmers exhibited a greater tendency to adopt mobile applications than single, divorced, separated, and widowed. Furthermore, the study revealed that the majority of small-scale commercial farmers were engaged in agriculture as their primary occupation. The study argued that young farmers, female farmers, educated farmers, married farmers, and farming as a primary occupation positively influenced the adoption of mobile phone applications for improved small-scale commercial agriculture. The study recommends that policymakers and implementers should consider socio-demographic characteristics as critical determinants of the adoption of mobile phone applications for improved small-scale commercial agriculture to tailor strategies that promote the adoption of mobile applications based on different farmer age groups

The Influence of Monetary Incentive Packages on Enhancing Employees’ Innovative Behaviour at Tanzania Port Authority

The study was designed to investigate the influence of monetary incentives package in enhancing employees’ innovative behaviour at Tanzania Port Authority. Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory guided this research. The research deployed cross sectional research design while stratified sampling technique and purposive sampling techniques were used to select members of sample size who were I71 respondents from the target population of 300 staff. Data were collected through questionnaire and analysis was done using descriptive and regression analysis for quantitative data. The study revealed that various incentives packages are offered by TPA, and these are salary, merit pay, recognition and bonuses. Also, employees are paid fairly for the work they do, which motivates employees to contribute new ideas The study further indicated that employees are motivated to come up with new ideas or innovations in their work while employees feel that their contributions and achievements at work are recognized. The study concludes that incentive packages offered at TPA enhance employees’ innovative behaviour at Tanzania Port Authority. The study recommends that the policy makers should ensure that monetary incentives provide a tangible reward for employees’ efforts, which can lead to increased engagement and commitment to innovation. Also, the policy makers should ensure that organisation establishes mechanisms for recognizing and rewarding innovative efforts through non-monetary means such as public acknowledgment, career advancement opportunities, or increased decision-making autonomy.

Impact of Directed Problem-Solving Education on Secondary School Students' Physics Achievement

This study was done to examine the psychosocial effects of sexual partner seeking via social media accounts among adolescents; and assess whether sexual partner seeking matches with sexual orientations among adolescents using social media accounts in Dar es Salaam. Correlational research design and questionnaires were used to collect data among 264 adolescents in universities and 234 adolescents in secondary schools, who were sampled using stratified sampling technique. The obtained data were subjected to descriptive and correlational analysis and test using SPSS IBM Version 20 and presented in tables. The results indicate that sexual partner seeking via social media accounts has enhanced adolescents to be sexually overambitious to the extent of engaging in risky sexual debuts, disclosure of adolescents’ privacy/secrecy, demoralization due to postage of naked pictures or their sex videos after breaking up with the partners, together with intimidations, cyber-sexual abuse and sexual insults after meeting with untrustworthy sexual partner seekers. They also indicate that sexual partner seeking is relative to sexual orientations of adolescents as driven by self-interests and sexual feelings. Therefore, it is concluded that sexual partner seeking via social media accounts is done under risky circumstances and affects the psychosocial wellbeing of adolescents. It is also recommended that more studies should be done in order to inform about coping mechanisms for the adolescents who encounter the psychosocial effects after meeting sexual partner seekers via social media accounts.

An Initial Study on the Awareness of Digital Currency Among Youth

In the past two decades, the digital landscape has witnessed the emergence of digital currencies. These digital currencies, lacking physical form, facilitate online payments and direct Internet transactions for goods and services without the need for traditional banks or intermediaries. Despite the increasing popularity of digital currencies, a notable challenge persists due to the widespread lack of understanding and awareness, especially in developing countries. Nonetheless, this obstacle can be overcome through directed educational and awareness campaigns. As a result, an initial study into youth awareness of digital currencies, also known as cryptocurrencies in this article, has been carried out. This initial study on awareness surveys respondents' experiences with and trust in cryptocurrencies. A survey was conducted by distributing an online questionnaire, employing a stratified sampling method, resulting in 80 responses from youth in the Northern states of Malaysia. The survey results indicate that 39% of the respondents had less than one year of experience using cryptocurrencies, while 27% reported no prior experience. Despite the limited experience of most respondents with cryptocurrencies, the survey findings imply that most respondents trust the investment benefits of cryptocurrencies. In conclusion, the importance of ongoing research endeavours, particularly within Malaysia, cannot be understated in comprehensively understanding the factors that influence the utilisation of cryptocurrencies.

Coaching Techniques and Team Cohesion in Chinese University Handball

This study looked into how well teaching methods and training techniques worked and how they affected the teamwork and cohesiveness of Chinese university handball teams. Respondents were 428 players and 15 teachers from five Chinese universities. They were chosen through a "stratified sampling" process to ensure that all groups were represented. The study examined six critical areas of coaching: fundamentals, tactical strategies, physical fitness, psychological training, scouting, and personal growth plans. It also looked at six aspects of cohesion: ties between people, team identity, resolving conflicts, commitment, building teams, and support systems. Data showed that coaching methods and team cohesion were ranked low in every area. However, association analysis showed that better teaching techniques were significantly linked to higher team cohesion. Interviews with coaches revealed that putting new strategies into action is hard because people don't like change, there aren't enough resources, teachers don't get enough professional growth, time is limited, and there are cultural barriers.

Learning-Centered Leadership of School Heads and Its Moderating Effect on Organizational Culture and Organizational Performance

The study determined the moderating effect of learning-centered leadership of school heads on the relationship between organizational culture and organizational performance. This paper employed descriptive-correlational research design and moderation analysis. Weighted mean, Pearson r, and path analysis were used to analyze the data. There were three standardized questionnaires utilized to collect data. The respondents of the study were 300 elementary, junior and senior high school teachers which were chosen using stratified sampling. Results revealed that the level of organizational culture was high, and the levels of organizational performance and learning-centered leadership of school heads were very high. There was a significant relationship between organizational culture and organizational performance, and learning-centered leadership of school heads and organizational performance. Furthermore, the result of moderation analysis using path analysis revealed the moderating effect of learning-centered leadership of school heads on the relationship between organizational culture and organizational performance was significant. Therefore, the learning-centered leadership of school heads strengthens the relationship between the organizational culture and the organizational performance of teachers. This implies that a positive and thriving culture aligns employees with the organization's objectives, fostering innovation, productivity, and engagement. It enhances satisfaction, provides consistency in decision-making, and attracts and retains teachers, all contributing to enhanced performance.

A sample of 100 chronic patients was drawn using a stratified sampling technique, comprising 48 males and 52 females from Bahawal Vitoria Hospital, Bahawalpur. A cross-sectional survey method was employed, with data collected through interviews. Three validated questionnaires were also used: the Pettijohn Locus of Control Scale (1992), the Quinless &amp; Nelson Learned Helplessness Scale (1988), and the Coping Strategies Inventory by Hamby, Grych, &amp; Banyard (2013). The results of this study indicate a significant correlation among coping strategies, locus of control, and learned helplessness. The literature review supports the findings related to the impact of chronic illness on these psychological constructs. The results are discussed in terms of gender differences, variance in factors, and the role of psychosocial support in managing chronic illness.

Exploring The Perceptions and Use of Information and Communication Technology Tools Among High School Mathematics Teachers in The Northern Region of Ghana

This study explored the extent to which senior high school mathematics teachers in the Northern Region of Ghana use Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in teaching and learning mathematics. A descriptive survey design was employed for the investigation. Using a stratified sampling technique, 20 public high schools in the northern region of Ghana were selected for the study. A simple random sampling was used to select 100 teachers (i.e., 50 teachers from urban and 50 teachers from rural schools) from the 20 schools for the study. Questionnaires were used to collect data for the study. The findings revealed that the mathematics teachers’ perceived knowledge of the benefits of ICT usage for instructional delivery, assessment, and professional learning networks in mathematics were low compared to their actual usage of the ICTs for the same purposes. The findings suggest that the participants utilize ICTs more for social networking than for instructional delivery, assessment, and professional development in mathematics. Further, the findings showed a positive relationship between the teachers’ perceived knowledge of the benefits of ICTs usage for instructional delivery and their actual use of ICTs for instructional delivery. Mathematics teachers from urban schools use ICTs for all instructional purposes more than their peers from rural schools. Implications for ICT policies, teacher training, and professional development are provided.

Seasonal migration and youth social life in the Eastern Barienou district, Benin

This study investigated the relationship that exists between seasonal migration and social life of youth in the Eastern Barienou, Benin. Several young people from the Barienou district in the northern Benin leave their homes each year to work in Nigeria’s agricultural sector. Migration is a strategy employed to improve their standard of living. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of seasonal migration on social life of youth in the Eastern Barienou. This study employed a mixed-method research design that combines a correlation survey and a phenomenological study. The population of the study included 450 people. The sampling frame included not only a list of youth in the Eastern Barienou district but also a list youth’s parents and youth’s leaders. A total of 196 participants were sampled using stratified sampling techniques. Data were collected using a questionnaire, an interview guide and a focus group discussion guide. A multivariate regression analysis was run to assess the association between seasonal migration and social life. Seasonal migration has a significant negative relationship with youth social life (β=.-39, p&lt;.001). QDA miner lite V3.0.6 was used for qualitative data analysis, SPSS 21 for descriptive analysis, and SPSS AMOS 26 for multivariate regression analysis. The study recommended that the Benin government enhance farming sector in the Eastern Barienou district and collaborate with the Nigerian government to improve working conditions for seasonal migrants.

Impact of Transparency on Public Trust in a Government Charity and Gaming Office as Mediated by Corporate Social Responsibility

Purpose: This study investigated the mediating role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on the relationship between transparency and public trust in a government and charity gaming office in Davao City. Materials and Methods: Using a quantitative, mediating design, samples of 300 clients were selected using stratified sampling surveyed through standardized modified instruments. The gathered data was analyzed using Mean, Pearson r, Regression and Medgraph using Sobel z-test. The pertinent results were presented appropriately in tables. Findings: The findings revealed an overall high level of transparency within the organization. Furthermore, the results demonstrated a very high level of public trust, as well as a very high level of CSR. The test of relationship revealed significant correlation among the variables. The mediation analysis revealed that CSR significantly mediated the relationship between transparency and public trust in the organization. The relationships between the variables are all significant; therefore, there is only partial mediation of CSR on the relationship between transparency and public trust. Partial mediation suggests that not only is there a significant relationship between the mediator and the dependent variable but that there is also direct relationship between the independent and dependent variable. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study has uncovered significant implications for practice, theory, and policy regarding the relationships between transparency, public trust, and corporate social responsibility (CSR). It was found that transparency is closely linked to public trust and CSR. Specifically, a strong correlation was observed between transparency and public trust and between transparency and CSR. Additionally, a significant relationship was established between CSR and public trust. Given the overall high level of transparency observed, the researcher suggests that the PCSO branch in Davao City should maintain this level in this domain and focus on enhancing transparency across other indicators, particularly in terms of secrecy. To address this, it is recommended that the organization improve its information dissemination practices to clients. Moreover, future researchers must delve deeper into the relationships among transparency, public trust, and CSR, particularly within the context of Davao City or other regions of the country. More empirical studies on these variables need to be conducted in these specific contexts. Thus, further research could provide valuable insights for both academia and policymaking.

Social Perception and Engagement in Mangrove Restoration: A Case Study in Central America

Mangroves are vital intertidal ecosystems that support biodiversity and protect coastal communities, but face increasing pressure from anthropogenic activities that sustain local livelihoods. It is crucial to integrate the social dimension into conservation efforts by encouraging community participation in mangrove restoration. Chame Bay, located on the central Pacific coast of Panama, is a protected area with significant mangrove cover, but despite its management plan, degradation continues due to intensive timber extraction for charcoal production and insufficient natural regeneration. This study investigates local knowledge and perceptions of mangrove functions and regeneration. A proportional stratified sampling of the Chame Bay population was used, with 300 interviews conducted among key stakeholders, including residents and mangrove resource users. Variables such as age, education, and profession were analyzed in relation to perceptions, participation, and willingness to participate in restoration efforts. Results indicate that 24.67% of the population’s primary economic activity is charcoal production from mangrove wood, with 15% of producers already involved in restoration and 60% willing to participate. These findings highlight the potential for community-driven restoration and emphasize the need for environmental education to encourage participation. This study provides essential information for designing restoration strategies in mangrove areas in Central America.

Above-ground bole biomass and carbon stock of recreational trees at Agodi Gardens, Oyo State, Nigeria

This study used allometric equations to evaluate the biomass and carbon stock of recreational trees at Agodi Gardens in Ibadan Metropolis. Stratified sampling technique was used to delineate 15 plots (25m x 25m). Six allometric equations were selected to estimate Aboveground Biomass (AB) of the tree species. Models selected were assessed based on highest adjusted coefficient of determination (AdjR2), significant F-ratio (P&lt;0.05) and least Root Means Square Error (RSME). A total of 220 trees belonging to 18 species were encountered. The dominant Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) and Height (Ht) were 62.8cm and 39.1m, respectively for Alstonia bonnei and Elaeis guineensis. The mean AB/ha was 2.8006Kgha-1 and the highest carbon stock of 3.332147 x 10-4 was recorded for Khaya ivorensis. Equation C= 2.6 x 10-7+ln (AB) + lnDBH²+lnHt (AdjR²=99%), gave the best fit to estimate carbon stock in the study area. The study found a significant relationship between AB, DBH and Ht, with a high correlation between DBH and Ht (P-value=0.00). Hence, as the DBH increases, the Ht increases with an increase in AB. Most trees had low slenderness coefficients (&lt;70). The developed allometric model improved the prediction of aboveground stem biomass and carbon stock, making it useful for future research.
