A quantitative study of the Friedman test for pregnancy

BackgroundPrevious studies indicated that physiotherapy managers and clinical specialists perceive themselves to be most effective at demonstrating leadership capabilities associated with the human resource and structural frames.AimTo investigate physiotherapists’ perceptions of the leadership capabilities of physiotherapy management in their workplace.MethodsA quantitative study was performed using a paper-based survey with a purposive sample of physiotherapists. The survey asked participants to rate 24 leadership capabilities on two questions: ‘How important are these capabilities for physiotherapy management to demonstrate?’ and ‘How effective is physiotherapy management in your workplace at demonstrating these capabilities?’ The leadership capabilities were derived from the leadership framework of Bolman and Deal.ResultsThe response rate was 55% (n=303). The Friedman test indicated that there was a significant difference in the ratings of importance of the leadership capabilities across the frames (X2(3)=9.362, P=0.025). Post-hoc analysis demonstrated that the symbolic leadership capabilities were rated more highly for importance than the structural leadership capabilities (Z=−2.640, P=0.008). There was also a significant difference in the ratings of effectiveness on the leadership capabilities across the frames (X2(3)=78.022, P<0.001). Physiotherapy management were rated as most effective at demonstrating structural and political frame capabilities and least effective on symbolic frame capabilities.ConclusionsThere is a discrepancy between the leadership capabilities that physiotherapists perceive physiotherapy management to be most effective at demonstrating and the leadership capabilities they perceive to be most important. Physiotherapy management may benefit from specific leadership programmes to develop their leadership capabilities in the symbolic frame.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the reasons for utilizing Arabizi among students at Jadara and Yarmouk Universities, as well as the prevalent motivations for switching for each reason. For the academic year 2019/2020, this quantitative study includes students studying English language and translation at two institutions, Yarmouk and Jadara. The participants in this study were picked at random from Jadara and Yarmouk Universities in the Irbid governorate. This study's data comes from a questionnaire that was given to 283 students of both genders (male and female). The researchers used Standard Deviations, percentages, means, frequencies, statistical figures, and the Friedman test to answer the study's research question. The findings revealed that there are numerous explanations for this. It is used by the participants as a prestigious language, as well as an easy way to write and appear more westernized. Code switching has three motivations: communication, intellectual, and solidarity. Because this study was limited to the governorate of Irbid, which is located in northern Jordan, there is a need to investigate the reasons in other Jordanian geographic locations.

Recent progress in the electron-mirror microscopy (EMM), e.g., an improvement of its resolving power together with an increase of the magnification makes it useful for investigating the ferroelectric domain physics. English has recently observed the domain texture in the surface layer of BaTiO3. The present authors ) have developed a theory by which one can evaluate small one-dimensional electric fields and/or topographic step heights in the crystal surfaces from their EMM pictures. This theory was applied to a quantitative study of the surface pattern of BaTiO3).
