FIXED TARGET TRAINING: MENINGKATKAN AKURASI SPIKE ANGGOTA UKM BOLA VOLI STKIP BINA MUTIARA SUKABUMI

The techniques used to attack or score in sports games are important techniques to master. The spike technique in volleyball is carried out with the main objective of producing a score in order to win. The ball that is hit in the spike technique, besides having to be strong and fast, of course, must be directed at an empty area or difficult for the opponent to anticipate. Good spike accuracy is one of the key factors in volleyball, which can contribute to the team's success in scoring points. Therefore proper training is needed to be able to improve volleyball spike skills. This study aims to investigate the effect of fixed target training on increasing the spike accuracy of members of the Volleyball UKM STKIP Bina Mutiara Sukabumi. This study used an experimental method through the One-Group Pretest Posttest design. The research sample consisted of 10 members of STKIP Volleyball UKM Bina Mutiara Sukabumi who were selected by purposive sampling and received fixed target training. The research data were obtained using the volleyball spike test which was carried out at the pretest and posttest stages. The results of data analysis through paired sample t test showed that the p value <0.05. Based on this, it was stated that fixed target training had a positive and significant effect on the results of the spike accuracy of members of the STKIP Volleyball UKM Bina Mutiara Sukabumi.

The role of leadership programs in shaping social skills of college students in Nueva Ecija

This research explored how leadership training affected Nueva Ecija college students' academic and social results. Descriptive study was conducted on 100 college students who took leadership training classes. Academic performance, academic engagement, study patterns, learning attitudes, and problem-solving skills were evaluated as academic outcomes. The social outcomes included interpersonal skills, peer relationships, self-esteem, conflict resolution and teamwork abilities. Academic and social outcomes were positively impacted by leadership training, according to the findings. Students reported a high level of academic engagement, positive attitudes toward learning, and beneficial study habits. However, academic performance and problem-solving skills had modest room for development. Socially, students reported great peer connections, high self-esteem, and successful team cooperation, but interpersonal and conflict resolution abilities needed work. The research found that leadership training improves student academic and social skills. It also suggests improving problem-solving, interpersonal skills, and conflict resolution in the programs. These findings have implications for educators and administrators regarding the optimization of leadership training design and delivery. Future research can investigate the longitudinal effects of leadership development and its other possible benefits.

Leaders need to be led: complementary followership in the context of community-driven development program

ABSTRACT Leadership has often been recognised as a major driver for successful team effectiveness. However, even weak leadership may lead to good team performance, and it is worth studying how weak leadership can be helped and complemented by followership. To investigate the paradoxical mechanism behind leadership – followership practices, we examined (1) multidimensional figures of leadership and followership using the multifactor leadership questionnaire (MLQ) and (2) the impacts of the combinations of leadership and followership on team performances both during and after a community-driven development (CDD) program. To that end, this study examines a rural CDD case implemented by the Korea International Cooperation Agency and the Myanmar Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Irrigation. The analyses present some common patterns of how weak leadership and strong followership can lead to better performance than other combinations of leadership and followership. We conclude with theoretical and practical conditions of “complementary followership”, i.e., the complementary combinations of leadership and followership in group performance.

Effective Techniques in Teaching EFL

Teaching EFL (English as a Foreign Language) is a continuous struggle for teachers in their quest to use the most learner-profitable methods and techniques. The present paper deals with 2 techniques that provided enjoyable and skill-enhancing for the learners: team teaching and email writing. Team teaching is most common in the domain of foreign language teaching. Successful team teaching has the potential to benefit all concerned. Teachers stand to gain in terms of their professional development. Team teaching provides teachers with a partner to help them set objectives, make plans, implement lessons and evaluate the results, they have someone from whom they can draw inspiration and who can provide them with constructive feedback on their teaching. Learners have 2 teachers to learn from. The e-mail provides a context for real-world communication and authentic interactions. By connecting foreign language speakers outside of the classroom, e-mail also provides a context for communicating with other speakers in authentic communicative situations. Interaction via e-mail lends a feeling of reality to students and it is much like spoken language because of its informal and interactive nature.

Paths to Team Success: A Configurational Analysis of Team Effectiveness

ABSTRACT This study investigates how two team processes (team learning, team conflict) and two team emergent states (team trust and team psychological safety) combine to yield three team effectiveness dimensions: team performance, quality of the group experience and team viability. Eighty-two teams (353 team members and 82 team leaders) were surveyed. Using a configurational approach, different routes that lead to the same outcome were identified. Moreover, the results suggest that the conditions that lead to high levels of team effectiveness are not the mirror opposite of the conditions that lead to low levels. The findings emphasize the importance of monitoring the effectiveness of a team in its different components and reinforce the notion that cognitive trust is a core condition for team success. Additionally, it is shown that the importance of intragroup conflicts for team effectiveness is contingent on the presence of other processes and emergent states.

Gender and Islam in Village Head Elections in Kudus Regency in 2022

<p>Gender relations and Islam occupy a distinctive space in the succession of village heads. This research will highlight gender relations with Islam and the involvement of female nationalists and Islamists in village head elections. This field research uses a qualitative research method of narrative data analysis. Data were obtained from unstructured interviews, documents, focus group discussions (FGD), and literature. This research found that there is a relationship between gender and Islam in the village head elections in Kudus Regency in 2022. This relationship can be seen from the involvement of Islamist and nationalist women in village head elections, as voters, candidates, to the success team. The conflict between adat and Islam which does not allow women to be involved in leadership succession, and even involved in the wider public sphere, is not a barrier. Kudus Regency women continue to respect Islam in the formal dimension, while gender equality between men and women is considered a form of justice.</p><p> </p>

Anesthesia management and outcomes of gynecologic oncology surgery

ABSTRACT Objectives This study assessed postoperative mortality, morbidity, and complications associated with anesthesia administration for gynecologic oncology abdominal surgery and investigated the risk factors for the development of these complications. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study analyzing the data of patients who underwent elective gynecologic oncology surgery between 2010 and 2017. The demographic data; comorbidities; preoperative anemia; Charlson Comorbidity Index; anesthesia management; complications; preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods; mortality; and morbidity were investigated. The patients were classified as surviving or deceased. Subgroup analyses of patients with endometrial, ovarian, cervical, and other cancers were performed. Results We analyzed 416 patients; 325 survived and 91 were deceased. The postoperative chemotherapy rates (p < 0.001), and postoperative blood transfusion rates (p = 0.010) were significantly higher in the deceased group, while the preoperative albumin levels were significantly lower in the deceased group (p < 0.001). Infused colloid amount was higher in the deceased group of endometrial (p = 0.018) and ovarian cancers (p = 0.017). Conclusions Perioperative patient management for cancer surgery requires a multidisciplinary approach led by an anesthesiologist and surgeon. Any improvement in the duration of hospital stay, morbidity, or recovery rate depends on the success of the multidisciplinary team.

The role of selected pre-match covariates on the outcome of One-day International (ODI) cricket matches.

The identification of key factors that systematically influence a team's success is important and has led to the application of statistical models in sport. Predicting the outcome of a One Day International (ODI) cricket match, using only pre-match covariates, has been minimally investigated. This research sought to investigate the impact that venue, toss outcome, toss decision, and match type have on the chances of winning an ODI match. A total of 1228 men's international ODI matches were analysed. A logistic regression model was used to identify the significance of these pre-match covariates on the result of the matches. The results varied across all teams, suggesting that there are individualised factors driving these differences and that generalising the impact pre-match covariates have in every team is unrealistic. New Zealand and India displayed a significant home advantage effect, whereas Australia had a strong tendency towards a significant disadvantage when they won the toss. However, for most teams, toss outcome, toss decision, and match type did not significantly impact the outcome of an ODI match. New Zealand and Australia were the most predictable teams, whereas South Africa and Pakistan were regarded as unpredictable when pre-match covariates were used to forecast the outcome of their ODI matches.

Membangun Kerjasama Tim di Lembaga Pendidikan pada Era Revolusi 4.0

In the process of interaction between a subsystem and another subsystem there is no guarantee that there will always be a conformity or match between the executing individuals. At any moment tensions may arise, both between individuals and between groups within the organization. Many factors are behind the emergence of incompatibility or tension, including different personal traits, differences in interests, poor communication, differences in values, and so on. In order for the organization to perform effectively, the interdependent individuals and groups must create a mutually supportive working relationship, towards the achievement of the organization's goals. The main challenge related to the aspect of educational institutions is to create a conducive culture and create an atmosphere that supports teamwork. The high-performance team consists of people who are truly experts in their fields, this team consists of members who have complementary skills and abilities. The foundation of a successful work team by prioritizing human relationships, effective teams are respecting each other, building discipline and building commitment so that the team can work effectively.

Team principles for successful interdisciplinary research teams

Interdisciplinary research teams can be extremely beneficial when addressing difficult clinical problems. The incorporation of conceptual and methodological strategies from a variety of research disciplines and health professions yields transformative results. In this setting, the long-term goal of team science is to improve patient care, with emphasis on population health outcomes. However, team principles necessary for effective research teams are rarely taught in health professional schools. To form successful interdisciplinary research teams in cardio-oncology and beyond, guiding principles and organizational recommendations are necessary. Cardiovascular disease results in annual direct costs of $220 billion (about $680 per person in the US) and is the leading cause of death for cancer survivors, including adult survivors of childhood cancers. Optimizing cardio-oncology research in interdisciplinary research teams has the potential to aid in the investigation of strategies for saving hundreds of thousands of lives each year in the United States and mitigating the annual cost of cardiovascular disease. Despite published reports on experiences developing research teams across organizations, specialties and settings, there is no single journal article that compiles principles for cardiology or cardio-oncology research teams. In this review, recurring threads linked to working as a team, as well as optimal methods, advantages, and problems that arise when managing teams are described in the context of career development and research. The worth and hurdles of a team approach, based on practical lessons learned from establishing our multidisciplinary research team and information gleaned from relevant specialties in the development of a successful team are presented.

This team is usually the first-assistant and surgical scrub technician. Two highly functioning robotic teams were asked what they perceived as important skills for having a successful robotic program.

P.060 Teamwork makes dreamwork: a stroke of genius

Background: Interprofessional collaboration is at the center of much of our work as Neurologists, yet often Medical Education inadequately prepares students for the complexities of interdisciplinary practice. Authentic, meaningful Interprofessional Education (IPE) requires consideration in involement of all individuals involved in interprofessional health care (IPHC) (Holbrook, 2013). Methods: We have collected authentic stories of acute stroke care through interviews with patients and other health care professionals on the acute stroke care team. Drawing on these narratives, we have crafted a multimedia story combining film, photography, and art. Results: This case will be integrated into Western University’s Undergraduate Medical Education curriculum but is intended to be a valuable tool for teaching IPE competencies in all IPE contexts. All media will be available thorugh Western Libaries open access Health Education Media Library. Main learning outcomes include improved recognition of HCP roles and the vital and diverse contributions of each team member. Conclusions: Drawing on the experiences of real stroke patients, families, and all other HCPs, we have crafted a rich educational case portraying the complexity of IPHC that will allow learners to reflect on the complex roles of health professoinals in a successful interprofessional team.

Communication quality affects performance of astronauts and support teams through increased workload: Insights from the AMADEE-20 analog Mars mission

Astronaut crews and ground control support teams are highly interdependent teams that need to communicate effectively to achieve a safe mission - despite being separated by large distances. Team communication quality with its facets clarity of objectives and information flow, is a key coordination process to achieve high team performance and task satisfaction. Especially in interdependent teams working in extreme environments with time-delayed communications, the team's success is threatened if communication is ineffective. In this study, we hypothesized that communication quality affects two key team outcomes, performance and task satisfaction, and that these effects can be explained by increases in workload (effort and frustration). Hypotheses were tested during the AMADEE-20 analog Mars mission hosted by the Austrian Space Forum. The analog astronauts (AA) were supported by an On-Site-Support (OSS) team and a remote Mission-Support-Centre (MSC) team. The MSC was the only contact line for both AA and OSS, and the communication between them had a one-way time delay of 10 min. Our study consisted of three runs in which members across the three different multiteam systems had to exchange information to solve an interdependent task. We measured communication quality, effort and frustration, task satisfaction, and team performance. Results show that clarity of objectives and information flow positively impacted multiteam system performance. Furthermore, clarity of objectives reduced experienced effort and this in turn enhances team performance. High levels of information flow reduced experienced frustration, which in turn enhanced task satisfaction. Our findings show that these facets of communication quality are essential for multiteam systems that work separated from each other by a distance. We stress that specific (team) communication training for astronauts and support personnel will be key to effective teamwork during future Mars missions, and thus to overall mission success.

Team Success: A Mixed Methods Approach to Evaluating Virtual Team Leadership Behaviors

The virtuality of organizational teams have gained interest and popularity in recent years, and have become more prevalent amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizational productivity and team relationship-building may suffer certain pitfalls in virtual communication and support without the understanding of the dynamics of short-term, project-based virtual teams. The manuscript aimed to expand what is currently known about short-term virtual team dynamics related to types of effective leadership behaviors. The present study employed a mixed method approach to understanding the dynamics of these teams at both the individual and team level. Small teams were formed and instructed to collaborate on a virtual survival task. Team-related outcomes were measured at the individual level, such as team coordination, team support, and team success. Additionally, distinct latent profiles of leadership behaviors were developed and analyzed at the team level. Team support, more so than team coordination, significantly predicted team success at the individual level, with instrumental support having the strongest effect. Distinct leadership behaviors emerged in teams and were classified through a latent profile analysis, but none of the profiles were significantly related to team performance scores. Demonstrating instrumental support in short-term virtual teams may improve team success. It is important to understand that distinct leadership behaviors exist and future research should explore the impact of these leadership behaviors on other team-related outcomes.

Exploring the characteristics of successful prehospital trauma care teams: Insights from military trauma care simulations.

Trauma care teams play a crucial role in determining the outcomes of trauma victims. The composition and training of these teams can vary. Our study seeks to examine the characteristics of successful military Advanced Life Support (ALS) teams and the factors that affect them. A retrospective study was conducted at the Israel Defense Force (IDF) Military Medical Academy throughout 2021, where prehospital medical teams were observed in trauma care simulations. Teams were led by ALS providers (military physicians or paramedics) trained in IDF Military Trauma Life Support. Demographic and training data were collected. Teams were categorized into high or subpar performance groups based on simulation scores. Specific skills were assessed by trauma instructors using a points system. Scores were compared between the groups and analyzed for correlations with demographic and training data. Overall, 63 team simulations were analyzed, with teams led by a military paramedic in 78% of simulations. The mean overall simulation performance was 81% ±6.2, and there were no differences in scores of single or multicasualty simulations. A total 3% of the teams achieved successful results and were more likely to have a paramedic as the ALS provider ( p = 0.028). A sensitivity analysis excluding physicians was conducted and showed that high-performance teams had significantly higher skill assessments for primary survey ( p = 0.004), injury recognition ( p = 0.002), exposure ( p = 0.006), adherence to clinical practice guidelines ( p = 0.032), and medical device use ( p = 0.002). Our study found that ALS provider is associated with overall simulation performance in prehospital ALS teams, with military paramedics more likely to be successful. These findings have implications for the training and staffing of prehospital ALS teams, suggesting that teams should be composed accordingly and that training should focus on skills affected by the ALS provider type. Prognostic and Epidemiological; Level IV.

Athletic Advisors’ Experiences Supporting Athletes Through Head Coach Transitions

Head coaches play an important role in their influence on college athletes and their academic goals. Concerns have been raised about coaches’ prioritizing athletic team success over academics. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the impact of head coach transition on National Collegiate Athletic Association teams’ academic culture through the perspectives of athletic advisors. Interviews were conducted with 16 athletic advisors on their perceptions of the previous and new coaches’ perspective on, and involvement with, academics in addition to the transition period. Findings show the importance of the relationship between coaches and athletic advisors, that advisors were quick to discern if the new coach was going to elevate or deteriorate the program’s academic culture compared with predecessors, the need for advisors’ involvement in the search process for a new coach, and the role academics had in coach searches.

Individual attention capacity enhances in-field group performances in soccer

ABSTRACT Visual attention capacity impacts performance in different laboratory and real-world tasks positively. The present field-study extends for the first time performance gains from individuals to team performance. Our study examined the attention capacity of 88 soccer players to create low vs. high attention capacity teams (LACT vs. HACT) who competed in a controlled field-study. Positional data were gathered using player tracking systems (1 Hz) in a standardised 11 vs. 11 soccer game. Key performance indicators (KPIs), which have been established in match analysis research, were measured to reflect tactical performance of the teams. As predicted from attention frameworks, HACT outperformed LACT in five out of seven KPIs, suggesting that attention capacity might play a crucial role for/in searching and gathering important space on the pitch. These findings provide evidence for attention being a predictor of team success. Practice task designs with an emphasis on attention capacity therefore could be a useful tool to study the emergent behavioural dynamics in a real-world environment.
