Athlete Performance

The aim of this study is to examine the athlete performance of Ariana, one of the obligatory figures in artistic swimming COMEN competitions, in terms of year and age. It is important to analyze the competition results of the athletes according to years, age groups, individual development and countries. For the figure performance points of the athletes, the official COMEN Mediterranean Artistic Swimming Cup competition results were checked. Within the scope of the research, the competitions held in 2014 – 2019 were examined. The performances of the same athletes competing in different years and the countries with regular participation are listed for evaluation. Ariana point averages of these countries were calculated according to general and years. One Way ANOVA and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks tests were used for statistical analysis. There was a significant difference between the groups when comparing the Ariana artistic swimming figure by years (p<0.01). As a result of comparing the years with each other, it was found that there was a difference between 2017 and other years (p<0.01). The results of the competition were compared by dividing them into 13, 14 and 15 age groups. There was a significant difference between these age groups (p<0.01). Ariana point averages and total mean and standard deviation values of 9 countries that participated continuously in 2014-2019 were determined. When the Ariana figure points of the same athletes were divided into 13-14, 14-15 and 13-15 age groups, it was understood that there were significant differences between the groups (p<0.01). As the age of the athletes increases, the increase in Ariana figure points shows a significant difference. This situation is also present in the points of the same athletes in different age groups. The points of Bulgaria, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Russia, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey, which participated continuously in the years covering the research, are decisive for the competition ranking and the estimation of the Ariana figure points. The average point according to the year of the competition and the average point of the countries that regularly participate have been made suitable for planning for the development of athletes. With the study we prepared, it was possible to make figure point plans in determining the performance development goals of artistic swimmers. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0820/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Abstract Aim: This study was designed to assessthe prevalence of various oral habits among 3-6 years old school childrenin Chandigarh Method: Fifteen different public schools were randomly selected among 45 public schools in Chandigarh area from where 938 children (3-6 yr) were randomly selected (511 boys and 427 girls) with the objectives of recording the prevalence of oral habits. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS 10.0 software and the statistical significance of oral habits as related to age groups and sex were calculated by using ANOVA test. Results: The overall prevalence of oral habits in children was 11.7%. Nail biting was the commonest habit (5.5%) followed by thumb sucking (4.05%), tongue thrusting (1.8%), mouth breathing(0.3%) and lip biting(0%). Also, there were no significant differences between boys and girls with respect to prevalence of oral habits. However, a significant difference was observed between different age groups with respect to the prevalence of oral habits. Conclusions: The data revealed that a significant percentage of the children had deleterious oral habits which can contribute towards the development of malocclusion. This helps in identifying children who are in need to intercept the oral habits at earliest to avoid future occurrence of malocclusion.

ABSTRACTOsteopontin (OPN), a phosphorylated glycoprotein, is among the most abundant non-collageneous bone matrix proteins produced by osteoblasts and osteoclasts. OPN has been implicated in bone formation, resorption and remodeling. However, previous studies have presented contradictory results regarding the effect of OPN on the mechanics and microstructure of bone. This study has used nanoindentation to identify local variations in elastic modulus and hardness of OPN deficient (OPN -/-) and wild-type control (OPN+/+) mouse bones. Specifically, the study has looked at changes in the mechanical properties of OPN-/- and OPN+/+ mouse bones with the mouse's age. Cortical sections of femurs from different age groups ranging from 3 weeks to 58 weeks were tested and compared. The results suggest that there are large, abrupt variations in mechanical properties across the femur's radial section for 3-week-old mouse bone. The hardness (H) drops significantly towards the inner and outer sections so the cortical bone has a mean H=3.66 GPa with a standard deviation of 2.44 GPa. In contrast, the hardness of the 58-week-old mouse bone had a standard deviation of 0.35 GPa and a mean H=1.45 GPa. The hardness across the radial axis of the 58-week-old bone was found to be quite uniform. The elastic modulus showed similar variations to the hardness with respect to age and position on the bone. We conclude that the mechanical properties of the mouse bones decrease substantially with maturity, and statistically the hardness and elastic modulus are more uniform in mature bones than young ones. Surprisingly we found a similar variation in both OPN-/- and OPN+/+ bones, with no statistically significant difference in the mechanical properties of the OPN -/- and OPN+/+ bones. The results for OPN-/- and OPN+/+ mouse bones are particularly important as control of OPN activity has been postulated as a potential treatment for bone pathologies that exhibit a change in the bone mineralization, such as osteoporosis, osteopetrosis and Paget's disease. Understanding the effects of OPN on bone mechanics is a vital step in the development of these new treatments.

Background: Obtaining normative nasalance scores is essential in the process of assessing and treating resonance disorders. The purpose of this study was to obtain nasalance scores in Persian-speaking girls aged 4-6 years and investigate the age-related differences. Materials and Methods: All participants (n=40) were screened to identify any overt problems relating to resonance, hearing, voice quality, or speech and language skills. The mean nasalance scores were obtained from normal-speaking girls during the repetition of the Persian version of the Simplified Nasometric Assessment Procedures (SNAP) test subtests. The Nasometer II (model 6450) was used to obtain the nasalance scores. Results: The mean nasalance score for the SNAP test subtests was obtained. Group mean and standard deviation (SD) nasalance scores of girls for oral and nasal sentences were 12.59±3.74 and 50.52±6.39, respectively. There was no significant difference between age groups (4, 5 and 6 years old) (P<0.05). Conclusion: Our results provided normative nasalance scores based on the SNAP test that can be used for the evaluation and treatment of resonance problems in Persian-speaking girls.

The aim of this study was to determine the factors that motivate females to do exercise whom live in Corum and to understand whether these factors differ according to some variables. 104 women doing exercise between the age of 18-50 participated voluntarily in the study. In order to determine the motivation of the participants for free time activities, the “Free Time Motivation Scale” developed by Pelletier et al (1989,1991) was used. The adaptation of this scale to Turkish was done by Mutlu (2008) and Güngörmüş (2012). In this study, the one whose adaptation was done by Mutlu (2008) was used. In the 5 sub-dimensions of the scale, assessments were done according to working or not, age, educational status, and the frequency of participation in exercise. For statistical analysis, One- Way Anova and Turkey tests were used as normal distribution data, Kruskal Vallis test and Mann Whitney U test were used for non-normal distribution data. As a consequence of the statistical analysis carried out, it has been understood that leisure motivation values do not differ according to participants’ working in somewhere or not and educational status. In our research, age groups were classified in 4 separate groups as 18-25, 26-33, 34-41 and 42-49. It has been determined that the sub-scale of “to know and to accomplish” for those in 26-33 age group is higher than those who are in the age groups of 18-25 and 34-41. In the other sub-scales, no meaningful differences could be found between the age groups.  When Free Time Motivation sub-scales were compared according to marital status, it was observed that only “identification/introjection sub-scale showed meaningful difference between the married and the single. Free Time Motivation sub-scales were compared according to the number of doing exercise days in a week, it was seen that the “external regulation” sub-scale of those doing exercise for 4 days or over a week is higher than those who do so for 3 days a week. According to the results obtained; Age, marital status, and often participate in exercise; motivates women to exercise has been found to be the most influential factors.Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı; Çorum ilinde bulunan kadınların egzersiz yapmalarına motive eden faktörleri belirleyerek, bu nedenlerin bazı değişkenlere göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını tespit etmektir. Çalışmaya 18-50 yaş aralığında, 104 adet egzersiz yapan kadın gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Katılımcıların egzersize katılım motivasyonlarını belirlemek amacıyla Pelletier ve ark. (1989,1991) tarafından geliştirilen “Boş Zaman Motivasyon Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Bu ölçeğin Türkçe’ye adaptasyon çalışmaları Mutlu (2008) ve Güngörmüş (2012) tarafından yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada Mutlu (2008) tarafından adaptasyonu yapılan ölçek kullanılmıştır. Araştırma grubunda yer alan katılımcıların ölçekte yer alan 5 alt boyutta, bir işte çalışıp çalışmamasına, yaşlarına, medeni durumlarına, eğitim durumlarına ve egzersize katılma sıklığına göre değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. İstatistiksel analiz için normal dağılım gösteren verilerde olarak One-WayAnova ve Tukey testleri, normal dağılım göstermeyen verilerde Kruskal Vallis testi v e Mann Whitney_U testi kullanılmıştır. Yapılan istatistiksel analiz sonucunda katılımcıların bir işte çalışıp çalışmamasına ve eğitim durumuna göre boş zaman motivasyon değerlerinin farklılaşmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada yaş grupları 18-25, 26-33, 34-41 ve 42-49 yaş olmak üzere 4 ayrı şekilde sınıflandırılmıştır. 26-33 yaş grubunda olanların “bilmek ve başarmak” alt ölçeğinin 18-25 yaş ve 34-41 yaş aralığında olanlardan daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Yaş gruplarına göre diğer alt ölçekler arasında anlamlı farklılık bulunmamıştır. Medeni duruma göre Boş Zaman Motivasyon alt ölçekleri karşılaştırıldığında sadece “özdeşim/içe atım” alt ölçeğinin evliler ile bekarlar arasında anlamlı farklılık gösterdiği görülmüştür. Haftada egzersiz yapılan gün sayısına göre Boş Zaman Motivasyon değerleri karşılaştırıldığında, haftada 4 gün ve üzeri egzersiz yapanların “dışsal düzenleme” alt faktörünün haftada 3 gün egzersiz yapanlardan yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak, yaş, medeni durum ve egzersize katılma sıklığının; kadınların egzersiz yapmalarına motive eden en etkili faktörler olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

• What ANOVA is, and what it is used for. • To perform and interpret a one-way ANOVA. • To determine which effects are significant using least significant difference. • To perform and interpret a two-way ANOVA. … ANOVA is the workhorse method of using statistics to compare means and determine the effects of influence factors on measurement results (i.e., anything that can be varied or measured that may affect the result). In chapter 3 we learned how to use Student t-tests to compare two means. There is nothing to stop us performing a series of t-tests on pairs of means that must be compared, but a different approach that looks at the variance of data, ANOVA, can decide if there is a significant effect caused by a factor for which we have any number of sets of data. ANOVA relies on an understanding of two things. First, how the variances of different components can be combined to give the overall observed variance of data. Second, that a difference in means can lead to a spread of results of the combined data that can be detected in terms of an increased variance. As an example, consider an attempt to determine if there is a significant difference between the means of replicate analyses conducted by two methods. The standard deviation of each set of results will estimate the repeatability of the measurement. If the two methods have different means then the standard deviation of the combined data will be increased by any differences arising from the methods. This is illustrated in figure 4.1. When the means are far apart, even though the individual standard deviations are not great, the combination has a huge standard deviation. ANOVA is powerful because it can determine if there is significant difference among a number of instances of the same factor (e.g., if we wanted to know if there were any difference in the result between three or more analytical methods), and also among different factors (e.g., what is the effect of temperature and concentration on the yield of a reaction?).

Currently, the advancement in technology and communication has significantly influenced the field of education. As a part of this development, the use of mobile phones is being considered as a substantial source of learning for EFL learners. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of mobile phones on students’ pronunciation skill. The participants in this study were 48 female native speakers of Arabic enrolled in the English Department at Najran University, Saudi Arabia. They were divided into two groups; namely the control group (learning without mobile phones) and the experiment group (learning with mobile phones) with 24 students for each group. The obtained data were analyzed using t-test and it showed that the posttest performance development mean and standard deviation of the participants in the experiment group equaled 23.333, and 6.58501, respectively. However, the com­puted posttest performance development mean and standard deviation of the participants in the control group equaled 17.9167, and 6.37193, respectively, which indicates that there is a significant difference be­tween the experiment group and the control group in terms of overall performance. So, it can be concluded that the results ap­proved the significant impact of using MALL technology in improving the pronunciation of EFL learners.
