Endometriosis a painful disorder that stripes the uterus both inside and outside. Endometriosis can be diagnosed by the medical practitioners with the help of traditional scanning procedures. Laparoscopic surgery is the authentic method for identifying the advanced stages of endometriosis. The statistical approach is a state-of-art method for identifying the various stages of endometriosis using laparoscopic images. The paper focuses on a well-known statistical method known as chi-square and correlation coefficients are implemented for identifying the symptoms that are correlated with various stages of endometriosis. Chi-square analysis performs the association between symptoms and stages of endometriosis. With these analysis, an algorithm was proposed known as endometriosis prediction factor algorithm (EPF). The EPF algorithm predicts the presence of endometriosis if the derived value is greater than 1. From the chi-square analysis, it is identified that mild endometriosis is influenced 34% by menstrual flow, minimal endometriosis is influenced 40% by dysmenorrhea, where moderate endometriosis is influenced 31% by tenderness and deep infiltrating endometriosis is influenced 22% by adnexal mass.

Pekalongan City is the first creative city in Indonesia to be included in the world creative city list by UNESCO in Craft and Folk Art category. The creativity aspect as the motor of the creative industry in Pekalongan will refer to culture, technology and intellectual property as a strategic driving force in the industry. Another aspect is the issue of gender and entrepreneurial capabilities in line with the needs of the entrepreneur to develop the idea of a product that must always be renewable as a prerequisite of living in the creative economy. The development of two new variables in the creative economy paradigm in the context of entrepreneurial capabilities other than innovative, proactive and risk-taking variables is the anti plagiarism spirit of design and the unique value of the product. The direction of this paper is to know whether there is any influence of gender in its contribution to performance aspect, commitment to cultural preservation, and anti plagiarism spirit and unique product development in order to maintain Pekalongan existence as creative city of UNESCO. This study has a sample of 45 men and 45 women as entrepreneurs and creative industry business in Pekalongan City. The statistical approach using Chi Square analysis with conclusion there is no relationship between gender with the three aspects of research in the form of business performance, cultural commitment and anti plagiarism spirit. In the analysis using Cross Tab, provide description that there is gender equation of way of thinking and strategy of survival and commitment between both capability of entrepreneur of man and woman in Pekalongan.

Abstract Hydration plays an important role in performance, injury prevention, and recovery for athletes engaged in competitive sports. Therefore, it is important that strength and conditioning coaches understand an athlete’s hydration needs to prevent illness and enhance performance. The purpose of this study was to identify hydration knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of collegiate track and field throwers, as well as identify barriers to hydration and sources of nutritional information. The Rehydration and Refueling in Collegiate Track and Field Throwers Survey was sent to 271 track and field thrower coaches with a request to forward the email to current track and field throwers. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated regarding knowledge, attitude, and behavior scores among the participants in this sample. Differences among response patterns were assessed via Chi-square analysis. Alpha level was set at p = .05. Results demonstrated that 97.3% (n = 287) of respondents knew that dehydration would decrease performance, but 50.5% (n = 149) erroneously believed thirst was the best indicator of dehydration. Chi-square analysis demonstrated a significant difference in reported values between participants who intended to eat a performance-enhancing diet and those who consumed less fluid than recomended values (207 – 295 m)l in the 2-3 hours prior to competition (χ2 = 10.87, p < .05). Pearson correlation coefficients demonstrated a large association between knowledge and behavior (r = .70, p < .05), a medium association between knowledge and attitude (r = .41, p < .05), and a small association between attitude and behavior (r = .21, p < .05). This suggests that strength and conditioning coaches and health staff need to educate and monitor hydration behaviors among collegiate track and field throwers to optimize performance.

Objective of this research; 1) determine the perception of ranchers against the properties and behavior of the leadership of the companion in the Society of Al-Awwaliyah 2) analyze the relationship between productivity breeder with productivity of livestock in the Society of Al-Awwaliyah 3) identify the relationship perceptions of ranchers against the leadership companion with productivity of livestock in the Society of Al-Awwaliyah , The data used in this study are primary and secondary data. Primary data were obtained from questionnaires which stem from ranchers while secondary data sourced from literature in the form of books and articles. Data processing was performed using Chi-square analysis using SPSS software version 21. One of the factors relating to the productivity of ranchers is the perception of ranchers against the leadership of their companion. Leadership companion views of the nature and behavior of which is owned by a companion. Productivity ranchers indirectly related to the productivity of the cattle business. Characteristics breeder visits of age, years of education, experience ranchers, and businesses in addition to ranchers. The results of data analysis showed that there is a significant relationship between business other than ranchers with ranchers productivity. The relationship between the perception of the nature of the companion breeder with productivity ranchers produce Pearson Chi-Square value is 9.751 and Asymp. Sig. (2-sided) of 0.002. This is due to interest ranchers against leadership qualities possessed by a companion who produce prolific ranchers. Ranchers consider that a companion of his leadership qualities are ideal as a companion.

This study aims to describe the effect of sanctions (individual sanctions, collective sanctions, and absence of sanctions) on cooperative behavior of individuals with medium trust in the context of corruption. Both collective sanctions and individual sanctions, are systemic, which means sanctioning behavior is exercised not by each individual but by the system. Cooperative behavior in this context means choosing to obey rules, to reject acts of corruption and to prioritize public interests rather than the personal interests. Conversely, corruption is an uncooperative behavior to the rules, and ignores the public interest and prioritizes personal interests. Research subjects were 62 students. The Chi-Square Analysis was used to see the association between the variables and the logistic regression model was applied to describe the structure of this association. Individual sanction is recommended as punishment to medium trust individuals to promote cooperative behavior in the context of corruption. The results showed that individuals with medium trust had more cooperative behavior.

Background Suppression is associated with binocular vision conditions such as amblyopia and strabismus. Commercial methods of testing fusion often only measure central fusion or suppression at near. The purpose of this pilot study was to assess a new iPad picture fusion test that assesses foveal and central fusion at near. Methods Participants aged 5 years and older presenting for eye examination at The Ohio State University College of Optometry were enrolled. Results from visual acuity, dry and wet refraction/retinoscopy, stereopsis and cover testing were recorded from the patient chart. The iPad picture fusion test, Worth four-dot, Worth type test with foveal letter targets, and Polarized four-dot were performed by one examiner in a randomized order at 40 cm. Testing was repeated with the anaglyphic filters reversed. Crosstabulation and McNemar chi-square analysis were used to compare the results between fusion testing devices. Results Of the fifty participants (mean age = 17.5), twelve reported suppression and one reported diplopia. Testability was excellent for all tests (98% to 100%). There were no significant differences between tests in reported results (P ≥ 0.22 for all comparisons). No difference in reported fusion or suppression status was observed with change in orientation of the anaglyphic filters. Six participants reported foveal suppression alone at near which was not identified with Worth four-dot at near. Conclusion The iPad picture fusion test provided excellent testability and agreement with commonly used tests of fusion and allowed testing of both central and foveal fusion at near. Nearly half (46%) of participants with suppression reported foveal suppression, supporting the importance of testing for foveal suppression.
