The study presents the attitudes of adult convicted women in a research sample of 186 respondents (29.5% of respondents from the basic sample) employing the questionnaire method. The research was carried out in 2017 and it was aimed to identify the most significant barriers that prevent convicted women from participating in prison training activities, how their attitudes and overall gross score relate to subjective perceptions of learning difficulty, and to identify the differences in gross attitude scores with respect to participation in discussions, lectures and quizzes. The convicts identified the lack of orientation in learning options and that the learning options do not reflect their needs and interest as the most significant barriers. Based on statistical analysis using Spearman's rho coefficient a statistically significant relationship was found between all attitude statements and subjective perception of learning difficulty (at the level of p <0.05 and p <0.01). The strongest correlation was found with the statements “I learn with ease” (rs = - 0.460), “I want to learn” (rs = -0.412), “I know how to learn"(rs = -0.432) and the total score (rs = -0.441). Based on the Mann-Whitey U test significant differences in the gross score of attitudes with respect to participation in all educational activities: discussions (U = 1505,500; p <0.001), lectures (U = 1846,500; p = 0.048), quizzes (U = 1654,000; p = 0.007) were found – respondents participating in educational activities achieved statistically more significant higher scores.

Students without prior research experience may not know how to conceptualize and design a study. This article explains how an understanding of the classification and operationalization of variables is the key to the process. Variables describe aspects of the sample that is under study; they are so called because they vary in value from subject to subject in the sample. Variables may be independent or dependent. Independent variables influence the value of other variables; dependent variables are influenced in value by other variables. A hypothesis states an expected relationship between variables. A significant relationship between an independent and dependent variable does not prove cause and effect; the relationship may partly or wholly be explained by one or more confounding variables. Variables need to be operationalized; that is, defined in a way that permits their accurate measurement. These and other concepts are explained with the help of clinically relevant examples.

IT IS desirable that as many people as possible should know how much care and thought is given both to the preparation and to the subsequent analysis of the examinations of the American Board of Pediatrics. For this reason the following comments on the examination of January 1950 are published for general information. The written examination of the American Board of Pediatrics given in January 1950 has been subjected to statistical analysis. It is proposed that all subsequent examinations be analyzed in a similar or improved way in order to learn whether modifications are accomplishing the purpose for which they were made and in the endeavor to improve the accuracy of the grading. Some of the results of this first statistical analysis may be of interest and may help in understanding how reliable the examination in its present form is. The examination consisted of 200 false and true statements and was taken by 353 candidates. A majority of the candidates marked all of the statements as being either false or true. That is to say, they marked with confidence when they knew and guessed when they did not know. However, a fairly large number of candidates refused to commit themselves at all when they did not know. It is of interest that one of the highest grades ever earned in these examinations was achieved by a candidate also distinguished by having refused to commit himself on the largest number of statements. The method of grading is one which yields essentially the same figure whether or not the candidate elects to guess.

there is no doubt that the media can find ways to influence public opinion only after building trust in them. Identifying ways to win over the target audience by publishing relevant information and news has become a major challenge for the media. The main objectives of this study are to assess the overall level of trust of Syrian youth in the Russian Arabic-language media and to identify a significant relationship between faith in the objectivity of the media and trust. The researchers used the interview-questionnaire method to assess the psychological climate of news and information broadcast by the media as a factor of trust in them. Key findings: 1) the psychological climate of news and information broadcast by the media is a factor in the level of confidence of the Syrian youth in the Russian Arabic-language media; 2) the overall level of such trust is quite high today; 3) the degree of trust is a direct continuation of the belief in the objectivity of the Russian media in general. Accordingly, the higher the belief in the objectivity of the media, the higher the level of trust and vice versa; 4) unlike other media, the trust of the Syrian youth in Russian Arabic-language radio channels is not based on objective information transmitted on the radio.

Study of sediment management is important to ensure the sedimentation process that occurred can be properly managed. Sediment have a positive correlation with the precipitation where, if the amount of precipitation is high then the sediment transport rate also will be increase. The additional of sediment into the river will shallow the river and lead to flooding. Thus, this analysis is carried out on the Batang Padang River to prove that there is a positive reaction by the precipitation and the amount of sediment, and will affect river management. The precipitation and sediment data from 1982 to 1996 were retrieved from Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) data base. Statistical analysis using the methods of correlation was used to determine the relationship between two variable has been prescribed. Based on the analyzed data, the highest value of rainfall was 3832.5 mm in 1988, and the highest value of sediment is 15331.9 tonnes/year was accured in 1985. Grade correlation is between 0:51 to 0.94 for observations fifteen years. Where the average grade of correlation that has been analyzed is 0.7. The results of the data analysis clearly shows that precipitation has a significant relationship with sediment.

Abstract Background A majority of women from all cultures and socioeconomic levels experience myriad symptoms known as premenstrual syndrome during the days prior to menstruation. The present study investigated commonly reported symptoms in the premenstrual phase among college students. The authors further scrutinized potential factors, including subjective perceptions of health, which may be related to the premenstrual-symptom constellation. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey, which included 200 participants (mean age: 19.8 ± 0.1 years old). The subjects completed a rating of their premenstrual experiences relative to 46 symptoms in eight categories of the self-reporting menstrual distress questionnaire (MDQ) to evaluate the prevalence and severity of premenstrual symptoms. The participants also answered a standardized health questionnaire regarding subjective perceptions of health, self-rating stress, lifestyle, and demographic variables. Results Regardless of severity, the 10 symptoms most often occurring among the participants included skin disorders, irritability, fatigue, mood swings, general aches and pains, lowered school or work performance, backache, painful breasts, weight gain, and swelling. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed subjective perception of health (β = 0.28; p <  0.001) and self-rating stress (β = 0.18; p = 0.008) as the factors most strongly related to the MDQ total scores. In addition, the 19 women who evaluated themselves as “unhealthy and stressed” had greater prevalence of severe or extremely severe physical (general aches and pains) and psychosocial symptoms (confusion, lowered school or work performance, decreased efficiency, loneliness, anxiety, restlessness, mood swings, and depression), compared to the healthy and non-stressed women. Conclusions The present study indicates the prevalence of premenstrual symptoms, regardless of severity and number, among college students and suggests that negative subjective perceptions of health and stress may be related to the intensity of premenstrual symptomatology.
