Psychological Profile of Turkish Rock Climbers: An Examination of Climbing Experience and Route Difficulty

The purpose of this study was to examine sensation seeking, physical self-perception, and intrinsic and extrinsic motives of rock climbers and to compare these psychological constructs with respect to their years of climbing experience and the difficulty of their climbing routes. 64 climbers ( M age = 29.1 yr., SD = 6.4) voluntarily participated in this study. The Arnett Inventory of Sensation Seeking (AISS), Physical Self-Description Questionnaire (PSDQ), and Sport Motivation Scale (SMS) were administered to the rock climbers. Analysis indicated that the mean score of rock climbers on the Novelty subscale of the Sensation Seeking Scale was 33.9 ( SD = 3.6) and mean value on the Intensity subscale was 29.2 ( SD = 5.2). The mean scores of rock climbers on the PSDQ ranged between 3.9 ( SD = 1.0, Physical Activity) and 5.1 ( SD = 1.1, Body Fat). Descriptive analysis indicated that the highest mean score of rock climbers on the SMS was obtained in Intrinsic motivation to Experience Stimulation (5.7, SD = 0.9). The independent sample t test showed no significant differences in sensation seeking, physical self-perception, and sport motivation with regard to years of climbing experience and route difficulty ( p >.05). It may be concluded that sensation seeking in climbers is high, and they have internal motivational orientation and positive physical self-perception; their competence in climbing has no obvious relationship to these variables.

This data analysis aimed at investigating Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) of patients around Otuoke region, in Ogbia Local Government Area, and the data were collated at Federal Medical Centre, Otuoke Outreach. The data collated involving 50 patients, of which, 25 are males and 25 female volunteers of different ages. The variables involved in this analysis include age, gender and basal metabolic index, using SPSS version 25. Descriptive analysis was carried out to summarize the data in terms of mean and standard deviation of the gender and age. Biserial correlation was carried out on gender, age and BMR, and Cohen standard was done to investigate the strength of the relationship between the variables. The results of the analysis showed a negative correlation between gender and BMR with a correlation coefficient of -0.70, indicating a large effect size. In addition, it is seen that the linear regression model is significant, F(2,47) = 25.09, p<0.001, and Rsq = 0.52, indicating 52% variance in BMR. The result goes further to reveal that a unit increase in age doesn’t cause an effect on BMR. However, the female category can significantly predict BMR, B = -267.10, t(47) = -7.06, p<0.001. Based on this sample, this suggests that moving from the Male to Female category of Gender will decrease the mean value of BMR by 267.10 units on average.

Abstract Background: Breast cancer is among the leading causes of cancer death in women. Different socio-demographic factors have impact on early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Hematological abnormalities are also some of the conditions to be monitored during diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.Objective: To describe socio demographic and hematologic profile of patients with breast cancer at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital.Methods: Case control study was conducted from May 2018 to June 2019. A total of 230 cases and 230 controls participated in the study. Descriptive analysis was made to assess the socio demographic characteristics. Blood samples for hematological parameters were analyzed, using SYSMEXKX21N hematology analyzer. Independent student t- test was performed to compare the mean hematological parameters of cases and controls. Results: The mean age was 42.8 + 12.1 and 39.3 + 11.1 years for cases and controls, respectively. One hundred (43%) of cases and 34 (14.8%) of controls were illiterate. Moreover, 175 (76.1%) of cases and 155 (67.4%) of controls were married. The mean value of Hemoglobin, Red Blood cell, Packed Cell Volume (13.1 + 1.6g/dl, 4.6 + 0.54/1012/L , 38.7 + 4.5 %, respectively) of cases were significantly lower than the controls (14.0 + 1.3g/dl, 4.8 + 0.47 / 1012/L, 40.5 + 3.5% respectively). The mean platelet and total WBC count were 323.4+ 108.1 x 109/L and 7.1 + 2.8 x 109/L for cases and 282.0 +70.0 x 109/L, and 7.1 + 2.4 x 109/L for controls respectively. In addition, 20.4% of cases and 5.6 % of controls were anemic based on their hemoglobin value.Conclusion and recommendations: The majority of breast cancer cases were less than 40 years of age and illiterate. Most of the RBC parameters of cases were significantly lower than the controls. Therefore, attention should be given to those with the designated hematologic abnormalities.

AbstractThis study aimed to evaluate satisfaction in terms of facial appearance, quality of life, and adverse effects in patients undergoing the facial thread lifting procedure using the absorbable facial threads anchored on the superficial and deep temporal fascias. The charts of patients for whom facial anchored thread lifting was performed using absorbable threads between February 2017 and September 2019 were reviewed. Demographic data including age and gender as well as data from the Face-Q scales were collected. Descriptive analysis was made for the adverse effects 1 week after the procedure. The mean value of adverse effects scales was compared 1 and 2 weeks after the procedure and also the mean values of facial appearance and quality-of-life scales were compared at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months after the procedure. All recruited subjects were females with a mean age of 43.42 years. There was a statistically significant decrease in the rate of adverse effects following the procedure between the first and second week. The mean difference in patients' perceived age 6 and 12 months after the procedure was statistically significant when compared with baseline. The psychological distress significantly decreased and the psychological function improved 6 and 12 months after the procedure. The overall satisfaction with facial appearance increased significantly after 6 months with a mean of 20.08. This was maintained at 12 months. The satisfaction in skin appearance, cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionettes, lower face, and jawline appearances improved significantly 6 months after the procedure. This was also maintained at 12 months. Face lifting using the polycaprolactone threads anchored on the temporalis fascia showed a significant improvement in the quality of life and facial appearance. The adverse effects are tolerable starting 2 weeks after the procedure.
