Introduction: Brain Functional Performance is a collection of excellent mental processing that provides a framework for achieving goals based on targeted behaviors. Disorders in executive functions make it difficult for a person to perform everyday tasks. One of the phenomena that have been highlighted in various media is the violent phenomenon that adolescents welcome with the production of violent movies. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of violent movies on risky decision making and behavioral inhibition of adolescents and compare it with melodrama. Method: This study was conducted with a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test with a control group among 60 adolescents in Tehran (30 girls and 30 boys) using the available sampling method. For this purpose, neurological tests of Iowa Gambling and Go-No Go were used. Findings: The results showed that violent movies caused a significant increase in risky decision making (P<0.05). In addition, these types of movies caused a significant decrease in behavioral inhibition among adolescents (P<0.05). Conclusion: Movies that have a rude story and content that glorifies violence harm adolescents' decision making and deterrence, leading them to make risky decisions and inadequate inhibition.

Background and Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of synchronization of brain waves in alpha, beta, and theta bands by the Binaural beats on visuospatial working memory. Materials and Methods: The present quasi-experimental study was conducted based on a pretest-posttest control group design. In this regard, 60 students were selected by the available sampling method and randomly divided into three experimental groups and one control group (n=15 each). All subjects were assessed in the pre-test and post-test stages by the Corsi blocks tapping test. Participants in the experimental groups received 15, 9, 5, and 6 Hz binaural beats for 12 min. The collected data were analyzed using a one-way analysis of covariance. Results: The findings showed that 15 Hz binaural beats (beta bands) significantly improved the subject's visuospatial working memory (P<0.05). Conclusions: Given that working memory is the basis of numerous cognitive functions, using 15 Hz binaural beats could improve the visuospatial working memory in these people

A period in which we are in that the information is becoming increasingly important. Today, progress and development follow each other. Thus literacy concepts have gained importance and have begun to diversify in line with the needs of individuals. One of these varied literacy is graphic literacy. Visual literacy is at the forefront together with graphic literacy. The aim of this study was to improve the graphic literacy of 7th grade students of middle school with Graphic literacy activities. In the study, pre-test-post-test control group research model was used from the quasi-experimental research models. In 2015-2016 academic year, study was conducted on the students in the central school in Yunak, Konya. A total of 45 students were surveyed, consisting of 21 students in the experimental group and 24 students in control groups. While the control group learns as the curriculum requires, in the experimental group students continued to use the graphic literacy activities besides the courses. A study was conducted by a researcher for a total of 8 weeks. It is seen that the relationship between decision making skills and concept learning in this study, which is made by using graphical literacy activities, is in a positive direction.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. Özetİçinde bulunduğumuz dönem bilginin giderek arttığı ve önem kazandığı bir devirdir. Günümüzde ilerleme ve gelişmeler birbirini takip etmektedir. Böylece okuryazarlık kavramları önem kazanmaya ve bireylerin ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda çeşitlenmeye başlamıştır. Bu çeşitlenen okuryazarlıklardan birisi de grafik okuryazarlığıdır. Grafik okuryazarlığı ile birlikte görsellik ön plana çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Grafik okuryazarlık etkinlikleri ile ortaokul 7. sınıf öğrencilerinin grafik okuryazarlığının geliştirilmesi olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırma yarı deneysel araştırma modellerinden biri olan ön test- son test kontrol gruplu araştırma modeli kullanılmıştır.2015-2016 Eğitim öğretim yılı Konya ili Yunak ilçesinde merkez okulda öğrenim gören öğrenciler üzerinde çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Deney grubu içerisinde 21 kontrol grubu içerisinde 24 öğrenci olmak üzere toplam 45 öğrenci üzerinde araştırma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kontrol grubu öğrencileri müfredatın gerektirdiği gibi öğrenim görürken deney grubu öğrencilerinde ise derslerin yanında grafik okuryazarlık etkinlikleri kullanılarak ders işlenmeye devam edilmiştir. Toplam 8 hafta süren bir çalışma araştırmacı tarafından gerçekleştirilmiştir. Grafik okuryazarlık etkinliklerinden yararlanılarak yapılan bu çalışmada karar verme becerileriyle ve kavram öğrenmeleriyle olan ilişkinin olumlu yönde olduğu görülmüştür.

Hernia Nucleus Pulposus (HNP) is one of the causes of lower back pain due to heavy mechanical loads for a long time. HNP if not treated immediately it can cause fluid buildup and swelling that can cause permanent nerve damage. This study is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test design with a control group divided into 3 groups. The sampling technique was using probability sampling method as many as 30 respondents who visited Grandmed Lubuk Pakam Hospital. The results of the statistical test showed that there was an effect of McKenzie and Core Stability Exercise on reducing pain in patients with HNP with a p value of 0.020 <0.05.

The adaptation of sports equipment seeks to adjust the learning environment to students’ characteristics. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of adapting the basket height on the execution and decision-making of technical–tactical skills, self-efficacy, cooperation, and students’ perception in a basketball unit. A quasi-experimental design with a control group, pre-test, and post-test was carried out in an eight-session basketball unit. The control group completed the tasks with a basket height of 3.05 m, and the experimental group completed the tasks with a basket height of 2.80 m. The execution and decision-making involved in passing, shooting, and one-on-one situations, students’ self-efficacy, and cooperation were assessed before and after the basketball unit. Students’ perception was assessed throughout the basketball unit. The use of an adapted basket height promoted better execution, more occurrence, and more efficacy for shooting, as well as an increase in the specific individual self-efficacy. The use of the standard basket height involved different technical and tactical solutions by the students as well as an increase in the occurrence and efficacy in one-on-one situations. The students in the control group did not increase their specific individual self-efficacy. The scaled equipment resulted in more variability in the solutions performed by the students (balance between shooting and one-on-one actions).
