Exploring the Path of “Project Team Style” Faculty Development for Applied Undergraduate Programs

Applied undergraduate education plays a crucial role in higher education, serving as a key platform for nurturing innovative talents. However, the lack of practical and innovative skills among teachers in applied undergraduate programs, who primarily come directly from academic institutions, hinders the cultivation of students' abilities in these areas. This limitation also affects the professional growth of teachers. The Internet of Things engineering program at Guangdong Institute of Science and Technology has successfully implemented a 'project team type' teacher training approach over three years, yielding positive outcomes. By utilizing diversified integration within project teams, this model fosters collective team development. Such a model holds significant value in enhancing the quality of applied undergraduate faculty and driving the transformation and advancement of local undergraduate institutions.

Identifying Soccer Players' Playing Styles: A Systematic Review.

Identifying playing styles in football is highly valuable for achieving effective performance analysis. While there is extensive research on team styles, studies on individual player styles are still in their early stages. Thus, the aim of this systematic review was to provide a comprehensive overview of the existing literature on player styles and identify research areas required for further development, offering new directions for future research. Following the PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews, we conducted a search using a specific strategy across four databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and SPORTDiscus). Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to the initial search results, ultimately identifying twelve studies suitable for inclusion in this review. Through thematic analysis and qualitative evaluation of these studies, several key findings emerged: (a) a lack of a structured theoretical framework for player styles based on their positions within the team formation, (b) absence of studies investigating the influence of contextual variables on player styles, (c) methodological deficiencies observed in the reviewed studies, and (d) disparity in the objectives of sports science and data science studies. By identifying these gaps in the literature and presenting a structured framework for player styles (based on the compilation of all reported styles from the reviewed studies), this review aims to assist team stakeholders and provide guidance for future research endeavors.

External Training Load Monitoring and the Impact on Training Load Management in Collegiate Male Soccer Players.

Gdovin, JR, Galloway, R, Tomasiello, LS, Seabolt, M, and Booker, R. External training load monitoring and the impact on training load management in collegiate male soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 37(7): 1434-1439, 2023-Soccer is a physically demanding sport within the National Collegiate Athletic Association and continuously increases in popularity. To ensure athletes are adequately prepared for weekly physical stressors, coaches can use global positioning system technology to monitor external workloads and exercise intensity. These data can subsequently help coaches and practitioners better implement individualized training programs to ensure athletes are properly balancing the overreaching and overtraining paradigm. Therefore, the purpose of this observational study was to retrospectively analyze 3 consecutive seasons of external workload (total and high intensity distance) and injury data, which were derived from all training sessions and matches in 46 Division-I collegiate male soccer players. A coach's interpretation sought to provide practical insight into the functionality behind load management and how it prepares athletes for the physical stressors placed on them throughout a season. Two separate 3 × 3 repeated measures ANOVAs were conducted to determine differences between total distance and distance at high-intensity with an alpha level set at 0.05. Total distance between preseason and in-season ( p = 0.003), acute high-intensity distance ( p < 0.001), and chronic high-intensity distance ( p < 0.001) yielded significant differences. These results conclude the demands of each athlete change weekly and between seasons. It is recommended that sport coaches and practitioners develop individualized training programs by workload monitoring while considering variables such as a team's style of play, experience, position, role within a program, training intensity, and the length of time between conditioning sessions, practices, and matches.

The Choice of Female Fans: A Study of the Industrialized Star-Making Model of Chinese Girl Group from the Perspective of Fan Consumption

This paper explores the influence of fan consumption on the industrialized star-making model of Chinese girl groups through comparative analysis method and in-depth interviews, taking the differences in fan audiences of girl group in China and Korea and the differences between the girl groups of the two countries as the starting point. The author argues that the fan audience of Chinese girl group is mainly female, and the consumption power of female group is significantly stronger than that of men. In addition, with the development of culture and entertainment industries, people's attitude toward fan consumption gradually improves, and the willingness of fans to consume is gradually increasing, and the consumption level also gradually improves, thus influencing the industrialized star-making model of Chinese girl group. The higher the consumption of the fan base, the greater the influence on the star-making mode of Chinese girl group, which can even influence the composition of the final girl group, team style, etc.

Analysis of defensive playing styles in the professional Chinese Football Super League

ABSTRACT Aim Describing and measuring different team styles of play during matches is a key step towards a more predictive and prescriptive performance analysis. The current study aimed to identify and measure different defensive playing styles associated with technical-tactical and physical performance indicators in professional football via Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Methods The sample comprised all 240 matches played in the Chinese Football Super League (CSL) during the 2018 season. Results Seventeen key performance indicators (KPIs), 15 defense-related and 2 physical-related were identified from a total of 62 defensive performance indicators, which significantly differed between when teams lost and did not lose (p<0.05, ES=0.03-0.22). Then the PCA model based on 17 KPIs (Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin value being 0.81), outputted 8 factors representing 7 different styles of play (factor 6 and 8 represented one style) and explaining 83.01% of the total variance. Of all styles, defense close to own goal, including clearance, ball gain in the zone 1, deep completion and unsuccessful cross of the opponent, was the most dominant style (31.92% of the total variance). The champion of the league showed better scores in all styles of play, while the last ranked team got the highest score in defense close to the own goal style. Conclusion The study indicated that a team’s defensive style could be defined by specific KPIs, and teams are suggested to attune their styles consciously rather than maintaining a consistent strategy so as to achieve better performance. Moreover, such categorization of defensive styles could be used during scouting and match preparation.

Organization of student teamwork using interactive Trello technologies in order to effectively use educational resources and improve literary competencies

This article considers the possibility of applying a team style of training based on the method of training cases using the Trello web-service based on the Japanese Kanban system. We study the possibility of involving university students in joint work on large projects using the Trello web service to teach teamwork skills and parallel independent search for resources and a creative approach to solving the tasks set by the teacher. From this point of view, the author's study takes place through different levels of text analysis on the example of V. Astafyev's stories “The Autumn Sorrows and Joys” and “The Last Bow”, and sets the prospect of studying other types oftexts, “Dreams of the Cursed” by A. Zhaksylykov and “The School for Fools” by Sasha Sokolov. A comprehensive approach to the study of the text makes it possible to develop the literary competencies of students, fill the maximum lacunae in knowledge, and attract each student to work in the project.

An evaluation of the evidence brief for policy development process in WHO EVIPNet Europe countries

BackgroundEvidence briefs for policy (EBPs) represent a potentially powerful tool for supporting evidence-informed policy-making. Since 2012, WHO Evidence-Informed Policy Network (EVIPNet) Europe has been supporting Member States in developing EBPs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the process of developing EBPs in Estonia, Hungary and Slovenia.MethodsWe used a rapid appraisal approach, combining semi-structured interviews and document review, guided by the Medical Research Council (MRC) process evaluation framework. Interviews were conducted with a total of 20 individuals familiar with the EBP process in the three study countries. Data were analysed thematically, and emerging themes were related back to the MRC framework components (implementation, mechanisms of impact, and context). We also reflected on the appropriateness of this evaluation approach for EVIPNet teams without evaluation research expertise to conduct themselves.ResultsThe following themes emerged as important to the EBP development process: how the focus problem is prioritized, who initiates this process, EBP team composition, EBP team leadership, availability of external support in the process, and the culture of policy-making in a country. In particular, the EBP process seemed to be supported by early engagement of the Ministry of Health and other stakeholders as initiators, clear EBP team roles and expectations, including a strong leader, external support to strengthen EBP team capacity and cultural acceptance of the necessity of evidence-informed policy-making. Overall, the evaluation approach was considered feasible by the EBP teams and captured rich qualitative data, but may be limited by the absence of external reviewers and long lag times between the EBP process and the evaluation.ConclusionsThis process occurs in a complex system and must be conceptualized in each country and each EBP project in a way that fits local policy-making culture, priorities, leadership and team styles, roles and available resources. The use of a rapid appraisal approach, combining qualitative interviews and document review, is a feasible method of process evaluation for EVIPNet member countries.

Chinese Professional Basketball League Using Mobile Computing and Big Data Technology

The impact of big data technology on the Chinese Men’s Professional Basketball League (CBA) is studied in this study. With the growth of the CBA league in recent years, teams from the western region have emerged. Although there is a trend of “multipolarization” in the competition pattern, it overall depicts a situation in which the east is strong and the west is weak. In addition, the method of recruiting foreign aid workers has improved over time, as has the foreign aid system. The number of foreign aids has increased from one in 1995 to a high of 47, and the quality of foreign aid has improved over time. This not only strengthens the club team, but it also has a significant impact on the CBA league’s competition patterns. The basic factors that affect the changes in the competition pattern are institutional factors, coaching factors, star player factors, foreign aid factors, regional economic factors, reserve talent factors, team style factors, player security factors, and so on, according to research and analysis of the CBA league’s development and changes. Six teams have won the CBA league championship in its 22 seasons. The Bayi and Guangdong teams each won eight times, accounting for more than 70% of the total number of championships.

The Impact of Team Knowledge Heterogeneity on Entrepreneurial Opportunity Identification: A Moderated Mediation Model.

PurposeDue to the low success rate of entrepreneurship, the correct identification of entrepreneurial opportunities is one of the important concerns in the field of entrepreneurship research. Therefore, this study focuses on the influence mechanism of entrepreneurial opportunity identification, so as to enrich the influence path of entrepreneurial opportunity identification and provide suggestions for improving the success rate of entrepreneurship.MethodsAfter screening and judging the quality of the questionnaires, the valid questionnaires were numbered and matched with 106 team samples. The researchers carried out telephone communication with participants to ask for their attendance, and then took samples on-site at the appointed time and place.ResultsThe results show that: (1) team knowledge heterogeneity has a significant positive impact on entrepreneurial opportunity identification. (2) Social capital plays a mediating role between team knowledge heterogeneity and entrepreneurial opportunity identification. (3) Promotional regulatory focus, a type of regulation that tends to adopt a radical approach to achieve goals, positively moderates the mediating effect of team knowledge heterogeneity on entrepreneurial opportunity identification through social capital. However, preventive regulatory focus, a type of regulation that tends to adopt a cautious and vigilant way to achieve goals, has no moderating effect.DiscussionIn order to improve the correct identification of entrepreneurial opportunities, it is necessary to establish team with knowledge heterogeneity rationally and excavate different levels of social capital behind heterogeneous members. In addition, it also reveals that team style can retain certain promotive in the process of entrepreneurship, which is conducive to the feasibility and profitability of entrepreneurial opportunity identification.

Clustering algorithm for formations in football games

In competitive team sports, players maintain a certain formation during a game to achieve effective attacks and defenses. For the quantitative game analysis and assessment of team styles, we need a general framework that can characterize such formation structures dynamically. This paper develops a clustering algorithm for formations of multiple football (soccer) games based on the Delaunay method, which defines the formation of a team as an adjacency matrix of Delaunay triangulation. We first show that heat maps of entire football games can be clustered into several average formations: “442”, “4141”, “433”, “541”, and “343”. Then, using hierarchical clustering, each average formation is further divided into more specific patterns (clusters) in which the configurations of players are different. Our method enables the visualization, quantitative comparison, and time-series analysis for formations in different time scales by focusing on transitions between clusters at each hierarchy. In particular, we can extract team styles from multiple games regarding the positional exchange of players within the formations. Applying our algorithm to the datasets comprising football games, we extract typical transition patterns of the formation for a particular team.

The Statistical Examination of Winning and Succeeding in Sports

Certain statistical strategies that cater to a particular team's style of play can enable a team to establish a competitive advantage in a sporting event. The purpose of this paper is to cultivate a linear statistical model that contributes to the of a competitive sporting game between two teams. Using a linear metric, this paper also examines the relationship between the of both teams and the scoreboard outcomes of these respective sporting events. This linear statistical model is independent of the given score of a sporting event. This researcher uses empirical data from 5,200 games in the 2017-2018 season across all 4 major professional sports leagues in North America (MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL). Results suggest that roughly 94% of the scoreboard outcomes agree with the instituted in this study. The results also highlight Coach Wooden's distinction between winning and succeeding where the conclusion of 306 games comprises of winning teams that do not have a higher success rate than the losing team. The principles of the statistical metric used in this paper provide practical implications in economics through game theory and technical analysis in finance.

Sociological Analyses of Head’s Personality Integrality Model: Theory and Practice

We developed the integral manager’s personality theory, which is a three-component model of effective management. The model reveals the interdependence of management leader’s style, his personality type and the organisational culture type. Sociological research was conducted with the aim of empirical verification and justification of the integral manager’s personality theory.&#x0D; The “ideal” leader should have such characteristics: to be active, innovate, to be able to unite the collective, and show flexibility in management, according to the results of university teachers’ survey in St. Petersburg. The innovator (creative-transforming and productive type) possesses these parameters, according to Yu. M. Reznik's classification. Most of the interviewed leaders believe that they involve workers in the decision-making process and make a decision together with the team. These characteristics are reflected in the democratic management style, according to R. Likert's classification.&#x0D; The most desirable leader for undergraduate students is the leader of an innovator who is able to quickly navigate the situation and make decisions, according to the results of the second sociological survey. The most effective interdependence for undergraduate students of KemSU and SPbGEU is: a passionate leader personality type, manage in the team style and developing the clan culture in the organization.

Influence of Match Location, Quality of Opponents, and Match Status on Movement Patterns in Brazilian Professional Football Players.

Aquino, R, Munhoz Martins, GH, Palucci Vieira, LH, and Menezes, RP. Influence of match location, quality of opponents and match status on movement patterns in brazilian professional football players. J Strength Cond Res 31(8): 2155-2161, 2017-The aim of this study was to examine the independent and interactive effects of match location, quality of opponents, and match status on the movement patterns in a professional Brazilian football team. Sixteen matches of the fourth division Brazilian Championship of 2015 were analyzed during the competitive stages (classifier, 8 matches; octave-finals, 2 matches; quarterfinals, 2 matches; semifinals, 2 matches; and finals, 2 matches). A 5-Hz Global Positioning System Sports QSTARZ was used to record the total distance (TD), maximum speed (VMAX), average speed (VAVERAGE), and frequency of high-intensity activities (HIA). The Student's t-test for independent samples showed significantly higher values (p ≤ 0.05) of VMAX, VAVERAGE, and HIA in home matches when compared with away matches. Comparing the quality of opponents, statistically higher values of TD, VMAX, and HIA were found when the team played against strong opponents. Regarding match status, 1-way analysis of variance demonstrated that when the team won presented significantly higher values of TD, VMAX, VAVERAGE, and HIA compared with matches when the team lost. There were no substantial interactive effects of match situational variables on movement patterns. Finally, multiple linear regression showed that the variable quality of opponents has a higher relative contribution to the variance in HIA (19%) than match status (16%) and match location (4%). In particular, the results indicate that physical performance in professional football is influenced by match situational variables, resulting in a change in the team's style of play.

Hoyt Memorial Lecture: Outstanding Quality Using Team Management

This paper describes how to use the team management philosophy to create outstanding quality in everything a business represents. The most valuable asset any company has is the people that give a significant part of their lives to the company for which they work. Not only are they an asset but very often they are an untapped resource of knowledge and continuous improvement. To fully utilize this asset, a change in traditional management philosophy is often necessary. Implementing and living a team style of management takes effort and dedication; this paper and lecture discuss the successes and pitfalls of using the team to improve and maintain outstanding quality in every part of the customer experience. Quality is not limited to the quality of products but includes a much more comprehensive view of your employee’s experience with the company and the customer.

Police Personnel Affective Profiles: Differences in Perceptions of the Work Climate and Motivation

The affective profile model was used to investigate individual differences in police personnel perceptions about the working climate and its influences on motivation. The Positive Affect, Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) was used to assign police personnel, sworn and non-sworn (N = 595), to four affective profiles: self-fulfilling, low affective, high affective, and self-destructive. The work climate was assessed using the Learning Climate Questionnaire (Management Relations and Style, Time, Autonomy and Responsibility, Team Style, Opportunities to Develop, Guidelines on How to do the Job, and Contentedness). Motivation was evaluated using a modified version (to refer specifically to the individual’s work situation) of the Situational Motivation Scale (intrinsic motivation, external regulation, identified regulation, and amotivation). Self-fulfilling individuals scored higher on all work climate dimensions compared to the other three groups. Compared to low positive affect profiles, individuals with profiles of high positive affect scored higher in intrinsic motivation and identified regulation. Self-destructive individuals scored higher in amotivation. Different aspects of the work climate were related to each motivation dimension among affective profiles. Police personnel may react to their work environment depending on their affective profile. Moreover, the extent to which the work influences police personnel’s motivation is also related to the affective profile of the individual.

El uso del Match Analysis para la mejora del rendimiento físico en los deportes de equipo The use of Match Analysis for improved physical performance in team sports

Traditionally, an athletes physical training has been developed independently of the playing style or manner in which the team performs from a motor point of view. In the present study, the need to structure training of physical qualities simultaneously and in synch with the technical and tactical training is justified, depending on the specific needs of our players and in relation to the playing style. These needs are obtained through systematic observation of spatial, temporal, and motor skills variables that affect performance of the players in the team style. The aim is to consider the observation of athletic performance as the backbone of the training process. This process is properly adjusted to phases of the sport planning process where all members of the coaching staff should participate. At the end of article, we provide a brief example of how to establish the loads to be used and the design of the exercises from data obtained from the use of Match Analysis.
