Objective: Dynamic Knee Valgus (DKV) causes many acute and chronic knee injuries during deceleration and landing in sports activities and can affect the athletes’ specific skills. This study aims to investigate the effect of 6 weeks of progressive jump-landing training on jump shooting accuracy and knee valgus angle in male basketball players with DKV. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study conducted on 24 male basketball players with DKV in Mazandaran, who were selected purposefully. They were randomly divided into training and control groups. Their jump shooting accuracy was assessed by Boddington’s Basketball Jump Shooting Accuracy Test, and their DKV angle was measured by a two-dimensional evaluation method in Quinoa software. In addition to their routine exercises, the training group performed the jump-landing training for 6 weeks at 3 sessions per week, while the control group performed their usual exercises only. In order to compare the two study groups, ANCOVA was used. Results: The progressive jump-landing program had a significant effect on jump shooting accuracy (P=0.001) and DKV angle (P=0.001). Conclusion: Six weeks of progressive jump-landing training can improve the jump shooting accuracy and knee valgus angle in basketball players with DKV. Therefore, jump landing exercises are recommended for improving the jump shooting skill and knee alignment in these athletes.

Stunting occurs in a chronic small intestinal inflammation syndrome, called pediatric environmental enteropathy, resulting in increased intestinal permeability and the entry of immune cells into the intestinal epithelium. The purpose of this study was to study the types of prebiotic food formulas and their effects on LAZ in stunting children. This type of research is a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design. Held in Sei Ambawang District, Kubu Raya Regency 2019. Samples of stunting children aged 12-24 months were 40 children. The sampling technique was used for purposive sampling. The intervention given is prebiotic formula food given for 30 days. Data processing for LAZ, nutrient intake, and t-independent test statistical analysis each using WHO Anthro 2005, Nutri survey, and SPSS software. The results showed there were differences in LAZ before and after in the group given MF-2 food formula in stunting children (p= 0,034), whereas in the group who received MF-1 showed no difference (p= 0,114). Based on LAZ differences between the two groups after the intervention with independent t-test did not show significant differences (p > 0,05). In conclusion, MF-1 and MF-2 did not differ in increasing LAZ in stunting children, but each group showed MF-2 had an effect on increasing LAZ.

Background: In this world it is important to train children to acquire useful skills such that they would take care of themselves tomorrow and show good behaviors. The world can only be a peaceful and developed place if children are trained to acquire social skills that are useful. Therefore, to determine whether social skills training would change juvenile misbehavior this study was conducted. Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental design. The sample was drawn from a population of 97 juveniles in detention at a Senior Correctional Center (formally known as Borstal Institute) in Accra, Ghana. The sample was 50 juveniles in a Correctional Center. The outcome measure was Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI). Test scores on delinquent behavior were compared across the two groups; (1) 25 juveniles who underwent social skills training (SST) and (2) 25 matched control group of juveniles who did not undergo SST. Participants in the training group underwent a one-month SST. The training sessions lasted for 60 minutes and they met three times a week for four weeks. Data collection was from May 2017 to August 2017. Results: The results of the experimental group showed that 8 subscales somatization (df = 48; t = 2.39; p < .025), obsessive-compulsion (df = 48; t = 4.32; p < .001), depression (df = 48; t = 4.13; p <.001), anxiety (df = 48; t = 3.80; p < .001), hostility (df = 48; t = 3.74; p <. 001), phobic anxiety (df = 48; t = 3.80; ρ < .001), paranoid ideation (df = 48; t = 2.46; p < .021), and Psychoticism (df = 48; t = 2.28; p < .032) to have statistically significant differences. Conclusion: This study found that out of the 9 subscales used only 1 scale was not statistically significant for the experimental group. This study provided evidence indicating juveniles who underwent social skills training (SST) had improvement in their social skills as compared to their colleagues who did not have such training.

BACKGROUND In setting of the current COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial to endorse infection control competencies. However, whether virtual training is equivalent to in-person teaching to develop such competencies requires further elucidation. AIM We aim to explore the effect of a brief, three-to-five-minute training session on infection control competencies in the major area of emergency department infection control, using virtual versus in-person training. METHODS Two hospitals were chosen, and the study design was a quasi-experimental multi-centre nonequivalent groups design. RESULT The learning score increased from 39.06%, SD=17.18 (95% CI 32.39-45.72) to 52.48%, SD=26.48 (95% CI 44.01-60.95) in the virtual training group, and from 47.86%, SD=22.51 (95% CI 41.47-54.26) to 79.65%, SD=21.45 (95% CI 70.14-89.16) after the in-person teaching. The mean difference between the two groups revealed a higher learning score using in-person teaching: 27.16%; t(60)=-4.12, p = 0.0001. CONCLUSION Infection control competencies are better acquired via in-person teaching than by virtual education.

A quasi‐experimental matched pre‐test, post‐test control group design was used to investigate the impact of individual student focussed teacher inservice on the progress of students with disabilities enrolled in mainstream kindergarten classes. Twelve student pairs in one district of the NSW Department of Education and Training were matched on pre‐test scores collected at the end of the term prior to kindergarten entry. The kindergarten teachers of each student pair were assigned to a training and non‐training group. Teachers in the training group were involved in a 2 day inservice training program which focussed on the assessed needs of the students with disabilities in their classes. Teachers in both groups were surveyed to gauge their perceptions of the support they received in the identified students’ transitions to school and of their efforts to include the students. The students were reassessed at the end of kindergarten. Although the students as a whole made gains in all areas assessed, there were no statistically significant differences in the post‐test scores of the students in the classes of the teachers in the training versus the non‐training group. The implications of these findings and the results of the teacher survey are discussed.

Background: This study evaluates the effect of assertiveness training on alexithymia and self-differentiation in the city of Mashhad, in Iran, about runaway girls. Method: The sample consists of 24 girls (12-20 years old) The tools used in the study were: assertion questionnaire Rathus, self-differentiation scale of DSI and the Toronto alexithymia scale. The study is applied as a Quasi-experimental design with the unequal control group. The plan is similar to the control groups pretest and post-test. Results: Significance indexes Multivariate analysis (f=158.029, p<0.001) indicates that there are changes in alexithymia and self- differentiation with assertiveness training. The average assertion scores in the post-test had increased strongly (M=58.00). As well, the average self-differentiation score of the experimental group had a significant increase. The experimental group also had lower average scores of alexithymia. Conclusions: The results of the research showed that assertiveness training has a significant change in alexithymia and self-differentiation. It should be noted that the participants had run away from home due to various reasons relating to high levels of alexithymia and low levels of self-differentiation and assertiveness. During this training course, the girls with learning assertiveness made changes in the self-differentiation and alexithymia (M=196.00) (M=47).

Early numerical abilities predict later math achievement and could be improved in children by using various training methods. As the literature on the use of training videos to develop numerical abilities is still surprisingly scant, the aim of the present study was to test the efficacy of a numerical training video on the development of counting and number line knowledge in 3-year-old preschoolers. Far transfer effects to cardinality and working memory were also examined. The study involved 86 children randomly assigned to two intervention groups: a numerical training group exposed to videos on counting and number lines; and a control group exposed to videos on colors and animal names in a foreign language. After the video training, there was an improvement in the numerical training group’s counting skills, but not in their number line knowledge, and this improvement persisted six months later. The numerical training group also showed a far-transfer enhancement of cardinality six months after the intervention. Based on our results, numerical training videos could be effective in helping to enhance early numeracy skills in very young preschoolers.
