The aim of the study is to investigate the leisure involvement and happiness levels of the individuals who have any fitness center membership. Screening model was used in the research. The sample group of the research was composed of a total of 599 voluntary participants, 260 being “females” and 339 being “males”, who were using fitness centers and were selected using improbable purposeful sampling method. “Oxford Happiness Scale Short Form—OHS-F”, developed by Hills and Argyle (2002) and adapted into Turkish by Doğan and Cotok (2011) along with “Leisure Involvement Scale—LIS-F”, developed by Kyle et al. (2007) and adapted into Turkish by Gurbuz et al. (2018) were used in the study in addition to “Personal Information Form”. Descriptive statistical method (frequency, arithmetic mean, standard deviation) was used for the identification of the distribution of the participants’ information. In order to determine if the data had normal distribution or not, Shapiro-Wilk test for normality was conducted and in consequence of this test, t-test, single factorial MANOVA, ANOVA and Pearson Correlation tests were administered upon determining that the data were in accordance with parametric test conditions. According to the findings, while there was no significant difference found in the happiness levels in line with the gender, marital status and education levels of the participants; a significant difference was determined in the leisure involvement levels according to education level and gender, and yet no significant difference was found between the leisure involvement level and marital status. Besides, a positively significant relationship was determined between the level of happiness and leisure involvement. The restraints as well as the evaluations for future studies were discussed in this sense.

The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between job performance and job satisfaction of individuals working in the sports industry. The sample of the study consisted of 423 people (317 males and 106 females), who work in the sports industry in Istanbul and selected by purposeful sampling method. In the study, in addition to the personal information form, the “Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale” developed by Weiss et al. (1967) and adapted to Turkish by Baycan (1985), the “Job Performance Scale” developed by Kirkman and Rosen (1999) to determine the job performance of employees and adapted to Turkish by Çöl (2008) were used as data collection tools. In the analysis of the data, independent t-test, ANOVA and Pearson Correlation analyses were performed. The results of the analysis determined that individuals did not differ according to their gender in both their job satisfaction levels and their job performance. It was determined that there was a significant difference in the “External Satisfaction” sub-dimension of the job satisfaction scale according to marital status, and there was a statistical difference in the “Internal Satisfaction” and “External Satisfaction” sub-dimensions of the job satisfaction scale according to the working hours of the participants in the workplace. Moreover, it was determined that there was no significant difference according to the marital status of the participants and the duration of their work. Finally, it was determined that there was a positive and low-level relationship between the sub-dimensions of the job satisfaction scale and the job performance scale. As a result, it was determined that the job satisfaction and job performance levels of the individuals differed according to their socio-demographic characteristics, and the higher their job satisfaction, the higher their job performance.

Predictors Of Depression

Grandparent caregivers report poorer psychological and physical health, but relationship status has been shown to influence burden. The current study investigated depressive symptoms of 3288 grandparents who completed the third wave of the National Survey of Families and Households. The study found that those who are unmarried were more likely to be grandparent caregivers, and female participants reported higher depressive symptoms. Marital status and caregiving status were comparable predictors of depression, but marital status did not buffer the effects of caregiving status on depression. Caregiving status accounted for a significant amount of depressive symptom variance for depression, comparable to marital status and gender. There was a significant difference in depressive symptoms of married and unmarried grandparent non-caregivers but with a significantly lower baseline depression rate than grandparent caregivers. Future research should examine whether making social support options available to unmarried grandparent caregivers who lack informal support from a spouse may improve outcomes.

7553 Background: Anticipation (A) occurs when a disease manifests at an earlier age or with increased severity in the next generation. Dependence of A on parent age and sex has not been previously investigated in B-cell malignancies. Methods: 144 pairs [45 mixed Hodgkin’s/non-Hodgkin’s (HD/NHL) and NHL/HD, 44 NHL, 24 HD and 31 CLL] were analyzed retrospectively for presence of anticipation in overall, paternal (PT) and maternal transmission (MT). 90 pairs belong to our familial hematological malignancies database, and 54 were pooled from the literature. A among diseases, as well as PT and MT were compared by t-test. Parent age at conception was correlated with A by Pearson correlation (PC). Results: Age at conception was similar among all malignancies, and overall anticipation varied between −18.93 and −26.61 yr, with no significant difference among diseases, except between CLL and mixed HD/NHL-NHL/HD (−18.93 vs. −26.61 yr, mean difference −7.68 yr, p = 0.03, 95% CI −14.74 to −0.62). A significant PC between the parent age at conception and A was found for all malignancies, with the exception of borderline significance in the case of mixed HD/NHL-NHL/HD MT. No difference in overall A was observed between PT and MT, except for HD (−27.25 vs. −14.25 yr, mean difference −13.00 years, P = 0.02, 95% CI −23.68 to −2.32). However, higher PCs were observed with PT than MT for all diseases (Table). Conclusions: A is present in all familial B-cell malignancies analyzed and it correlates with parent age of conception. Although mean absolute A was more prominent with PT than MT only in the case of HD, all diseases showed a tendency towards a higher PC with PT. Although less prominent than with neurological disease, this phenomenon points towards a germline inheritance of B-cell malignancies and a common genetic basis for HD and NHL.

The present study is aimed at determining coach athlete relationships, perceived school experiences and sports life satisfaction levels of athlete high school students and to examine the levels based on certain variables. The sample of the research consisted of a total of 306 students, 117 (38.2%) male and 189 (61.8%) female, who continued their education at different high schools in Trabzon in the 2019-2020. "Personal Information Form" designed by the researcher, “The Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (CART-Q),” “The Sport-Specific Satisfaction with Life Scale (SSWLS)” and “Perceived School Experiences Scale (PSES)” were used as data collection tools in the research. In the statistical method of the study, descriptive statistics, t-test, pearson correlation tests and regression tests were used. In the research findings, while there was a significant difference in the sub-dimensions of the coach-athlete relationship and sportive life satisfaction according to gender, no significant difference was found in the perceived school experiences. A significant difference was found in all scales and sub-dimensions according to the status of playing in the school team. As a result, a high level of positive correlation was found between the coach-athlete relationship and sportive life satisfaction, and between perceived school experiences and sportive life satisfaction. In addition, another important result is that the coach-athlete relationship (51%) and school experiences (32%) have important roles in predicting the satisfaction with sportive life.

Iatrogenic injury to the superior gluteal nerve (SGN) persists despite a safe area being defined. Current descriptions of the course of the SGN are conflicting and do not provide agreeable distances to surface landmarks that are useful for most health care professionals. This study aimed to suggest a more conservative and gender-dependent estimate of the safe area between each buttock and genitals as defined by four bony surface landmarks. The posterior and lateral surfaces of each buttock in eight cadavers, four male and four female, were dissected. The surface anatomy of sixteen SGNs was defined in relation to the quadrate tubercle of the intertronchanteric crest of the femur (QTIF), the most cranial ridge of the iliac crest (IC), the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS). Between the sexes, no significant difference existed concerning average SGN lengths across each buttock pair, (i.e. SGN length male/female difference df=3 (p=0.273); Pearson = - 0.76). There was no significant difference between both buttock sides concerning the SGN distances from each of the four bony surface landmarks across either sex (e.g. male QTIF df=3 (p=0.284); Pearson correlation = -0.31.) From our measurements we conclude that the standard safe area is too generous and should be half the size immediately adjacent to the tip of the greater trochanter.

In addition to many factors determining the quality of education in educational institutions, the skills of education managers to manage the institution and affect teachers are also important. This study was carried out in order to determine the management skills and skills of affecting teachers of primary school directors in line with teacher opinions. The study group consists of 367 teachers working at state primary schools in Tuzla district of Istanbul province in the 2013-2014 academic year. The study is a screening study of the relational comparison type.The “Scale of School Principals’s  Teachers Affect” which was developed by Uygun (2006), "Management Skills Scale" adapted to Turkish by Şekerci (2006) and the “Personal Information Form” were used in the study in order to collect data.The results of this study show that the management skills of school directors are perceived by teachers at a high level. While the management skills of school directors perceived by teachers do not vary by the gender, age, marital status, seniority, grades taught and educational status of the teachers, a significant difference was determined by the variable of the region of education.It was seen that the skills of school directors to affect teachers are at the intermediate level according to the teacher perception. While there was no significant difference between the skills of school directors to affect teachers and the gender, marital status, the grades taught and educational status of the teachers, a significant difference was found by age and seniority. It was determined that as the management skills of school directors increased their scores of affecting teachers increased and there was a significant positive relationship between them. ÖzetEğitim kurumlarında eğitimin niteliğini belirleyen birçok faktörle birlikte eğitim yöneticilerinin kurum yönetimi becerileri ile öğretmenleri etkileme becerileri de önemlidir.
