Knowledge And Attitude

Background: Almost half of the pregnancies are usually unintended. Inappropriate spacing between pregnancies can lead to maternal and neonatal complications. Awareness and education plays, a major role in combating this issue. This study was aimed to assess the knowledge and attitude regarding spacing methods of contraception among primipara mothers of Kolhapur. Material and methods: The descriptive study was performed on 110 primipara mothers admitted in hospitals of Kolhapur. A pre-validated study tool consisting of a questionnaire and a Likert attitude scale was used to assess knowledge and attitude of participants. Chi-square and Spearman's rank correlation test was used to nd the association and correlation between variables. Results: Good knowledge score was observed in 5.45% participants whereas, average and poor knowledge score found in 70% and 24.55% of participants respectively. A favorable attitude was noted in 53.6% of mothers and moderately favorable attitudes and unfavorable attitudes were observed in 43.6% and 2.7% mothers respectively. Asignicant positive correlation was observed between the knowledge score and attitude score -05 of primipara mothers (r=0.379, P=4.326e ). A signicant association of knowledge score (P<0.01) and attitude score (P<0.01) with the sociodemography of the participants was observed. Conclusion: Most of the primipara mothers had a favorable attitude regarding spacing methods of contraception but they are lacking in knowledge. The Socio-demography of the participants was signicantly associated with knowledge and attitude scores.

The Relationship

We estimated perceived difficulty with physical tasks, lifestyle, and physical performance in 382 children and adolescents (163 obese, 54 overweight, and 165 normal-weight subjects) and the relationship between perceived physical difficulties and sports participation, sedentary behaviors, or physical performance. Perceived difficulty with physical tasks and lifestyle habits was assessed by interview using a structured questionnaire, while physical performance was assessed through the six-minute walking test (6MWT). Obese children had higher perceived difficulty with several activities of daily living, were less engaged in sports, and had lower physical performance than normal-weight or overweight children; on the contrary, they did not differ with regard to time spent in sedentary behaviors. Perceived difficulty in running and hopping negatively predicted sports participation (P<0.05and <0.01, resp.), while perceived difficulty in almost all physical activities negatively predicted the 6MWT, independently of BMI (P<0.01). Our results indicate that perception of task’s difficulty level may reflect an actual difficulty in obese children. These findings may have practical implications for approaching physical activity in obese children. Exploring both the perception of a task’s difficulty level and physical performance may be useful to design exercise programs that allow safe and successful participation.

Hierarchy Process

With the higher education landscape getting increasingly competitive, the role of marketing has come to the surface. The current study is conducted to prioritise the determinants affecting the attitude of the students pursuing their studies in a particular business school at a private university of Bangladesh. Five criteria are considered in this regard where Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is applied to rank the chosen criteria. The results derived through Expert Choice software version 11.0 indicate that promotional activities are ranked first having a weight of about 52%; this is followed by the quality of teaching staff with around 22%. The other two criteria ‘Service provided by the business school’ and ‘Campus facilities’ are ranked third and fourth with about 12% and 11%, respectively. Co-curricular activities turn out to be of least importance having a weight of 3.4% only. Based on the results, a few marketing strategies are recommended for the policy makers to consider as they cope with the pressure of heightened competition in the market. Suggestions for some avenues of future research are also put forward.

The career-relevant characteristics of psychology majors at a small private university, a program of career development, and a student assessment of the program's effectiveness are identified and described. I focus on the results of the students' assessment. A questionnaire was distributed to a random sample of majors. Students rated sources and types of career information. Students gave higher ratings to the value of information about careers and career implementation skills than to information about career aptitudes and interests. Implications include continuing to educate students about the importance of gaining self-knowledge as a part of the career development process and continuing to provide a wide variety of sources and types of career information.

Perusal of the cross-cultural literature indicates an absence of reported research on a crucial aspect of interpersonal relationships, that of love and romance in South Africa. Accordingly, the Munro-Adams Love-Attitude Scale was administered to a random sample of 92 white adolescent seniors in secondary school from the Eastern Cape. While this study indicates that the white adolescent boys are more romantic than the girls, this finding might not be applicable to their black peers who are reported to show a reverse profile.

We are conducting distance education due to the pandemic process that we are experiencing. This study has been performed with the purpose of determining what kind of attitudes students who experience this process are displaying and the factors affecting these attitudes. The attitudes of university students studying at a private university in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus according to age, gender, grade level, internet connection problem, ability to use technology, suitability of distance education environment, and whether it is efficient or not were examined. Random sampling method was used in this research, which was conducted using the relational survey model, one of the quantitative survey models. The sample of the study is 128 university students, 64 men and 64 women studying at a private university. The data of the research were collected online using the personal information form and the Distance Education Attitude Scale prepared by the researchers. SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis of research data. The scores received by university students who have high level of internet connection problems from the Distance Education Attitude Scale were lower than other university students. It is believed that this study will make contribution to future research. Keywords: Distance education, attitude, university student, internet and technology usage.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a difference between physiological responses to the small-sided games often applied during soccer trainings by changing the dimensions of the fields, the number of players, duration and the rules of the games. 16 sports people, who play soccer in Turkey Hearing- Impaired National soccer Team, having 31, 38±6,02 of age, 177,13±4,38 cms of height, 74,22±4,44 kgs of bodily weight, volunteered for this research.  The subjects were made to play free games with the intervals of 2 days, in different periods of 4x4, in the fields of 36mx24m, in 24 minutes in total in the forms of 1x24, 2x12, 4x6 and 6x4. After each game, a rest period of two days, and between the sets, a rest period of 4 minutes was given. Through anthropometric measurements of the subjects, their lactic acid levels in blood and the number of heart beats after small-sided games were determined. Also the difficulty levels perceived were determined with BORG scale. The data were transferred to IBM SPSS statistics 22 program and the analyses were completed. Friedman test was used to have a look whether there was a difference between descriptive statistics and dependent groups for continuous variables.At the end of the small-sided games applied in different periods and repetitions, a statistical meaningfulness was determined in the comparison of the speed of the heartbeat of the subjects that participated in the study(P<0.001). While a meaningfulness was determined in the comparison of the lactic acid amounts that appeared in the subjects (P<0.01); there was no statistical meaningfulness in the comparison of the perceived difficulty level of the small-sided games played.
