All enterprises gradually recognise the importance of employees’ healthy psychology to business activities in order to improve their own economic level and occupy a certain leading position in the economic market. The main factors affecting employees’ psychological health are used as input samples in this paper, and a network model of enterprise employees’ psychological health prediction based on DNN is developed. To form a specific set, the psychological health indicators are separated from the complex test items. The key influencing factors in psychological health assessment are chosen as input vectors, and the DNN algorithm’s output results are obtained, analysed, and compared. Following sample training, the artificial NN’s error between predicted and measured values is only 3.55 percent, achieving the desired effect. The DNN principle is used in this paper to create a mathematical prediction network model based on an analysis of psychological factors affecting employees in businesses. The calculation of the final result of the prediction system is simple and flexible when the parameters of the NN are changed, and the network model’s prediction efficiency and accuracy are greatly improved.

The rheometer curing curves of 50/50 blends of natural rubber (NR) and two different halogenated rubbers with a combination of conventional accelerated sulfur (CV) and 3 phr of a bismaleimide (MF3) at 170 °C indicates that a co-curing reaction has been taken place between NR and the halogenated rubbers via Diels–Alder reaction. To further confirm whether the co-curing reaction has taken place in the early stage of curing, a complex test methodology was applied with the help of a rubber process analyzer. In this test, the blends with CV and with CVMF3 were subjected to cure at 170 °C for a predetermined time so that both the CV and CVMF3 cured blends will have the same magnitude of curing torque. It is then cooled down to 40 °C and the storage modulus (G′) was evaluated as a function of strain from 0.5% to 100% at a constant frequency of 1 Hz. The results reveal that the blends cured with CVMF3 exhibit a higher G′ due to the enhanced network strength because of the formation of bismaleimide crosslinks than the same cured with only the CV system. The swelling resistance and the mechanical properties of the blends cured with CVMF3 were significantly higher than those cured with only the CV system.

This article extends multivariate generalizability theory (MGT) to tests with different random-effects designs for each level of a fixed facet. There are numerous situations in which the design of a test and the resulting data structure are not definable by a single design. One example is mixed-format tests that are composed of multiple-choice and free-response items, with the latter involving variability attributable to both items and raters. In this case, two distinct designs are needed to fully characterize the design and capture potential sources of error associated with each item format. Another example involves tests containing both testlets and one or more stand-alone sets of items. Testlet effects need to be taken into account for the testlet-based items, but not the stand-alone sets of items. This article presents an extension of MGT that faithfully models such complex test designs, along with two real-data examples. Among other things, these examples illustrate that estimates of error variance, error–tolerance ratios, and reliability-like coefficients can be biased if there is a mismatch between the user-specified universe of generalization and the complex nature of the test.

The aim of this investigation was to quantify the acute effects of the execution of the physical performance tests within the ice hockey-specific complex test (IHCT) on shooting performance. Thirty-four professional male ice hockey players with an average of 6.9 years of playing experience were recruited. The slap shot (SS) was found to accelerate the puck with a higher speed and greater precision. After the IHCT, the maximum puck speed of successful goal shots decreased considerably (p < 0.001, d > 1.5). The puck speed percentage decrement after the IHCT did not differ between the SS (6.1, SD = 4.4, −5.5–17.9) and the wrist shot (WS, 6.0, SD = 3.5, −0.9–12.2, p = 0.86, d = 0.03). The magnitude of puck speed reduction in the WS was inversely related to the functional heart rate reserve (r = −0.44, p = 0.02) and the blood lactate elimination rate (r = −0.43, p < 0.02). The linear and COD speed tests on-ice resulted in a higher amount of successful goal shots. These findings highlight the interaction of intense on-ice testing and goal-shooting performance.

Software tests must be repeated frequently throughout development cycles to attain certain quality. Every time program code is changed software assessments need to be repeated. Once created, automated tests may be run repeatedly at no extra value and they may be tons quicker than manually conducted test and free from human errors. Automated software program testing can lessen the time to run repetitive tests from days to hours. Test automation can easily run thousands of different complex test cases in each test run, so there is no manual testing involved. But Automation testing has its own disadvantages one of it is that the testers should come from a programming background. To eliminate this dependency over programmers Scriptless automation testing tools are emerging. There are many Scriptless GUI automation testing tools in the market that use various methods to achieve the goal, this paper proposes a new record and playback method to achieve the same using Selenium framework and JavaScript for web application.

This prospective study aimed to validate the IHCT using a match performance score (MPS). Seventeen 3rd league male professional ice hockey field players (mean ± SD; age: 28.0 ± 6.95 years; 10 forwards, 7 defenders) completed the IHCT and were observed in the subsequent competitive match period. Match performance data were collected over 2 months (number of matches: 13-15). Based on these evaluated matches, the MPS consisting of goals, assists, penalty time, plus-minus, and number of matches was calculated for each player. The IHCT contains load parameters (e.g., 10 m and 30 m skate times, transition/weave agility times with and without a puck, slap and wrist shot puck velocities on goal) and stress parameters (e.g., lactate, heart rate). The 30 m sprint skate without puck (r2 = 0.41) and the maximum wrist shot velocity before test (r2 = 0.36) were the test performance parameters with the highest relevance for match performance. The velocity of shots on goal (SOG) displayed the highest correlation for any on-ice performance parameter (30 m sprint without puck: r = 0.76). These results provide evidence of the validity of the IHCT and the usefulness of the MPS to quantify match performance. Obviously, sprint and shot velocities are important parameters to be a successful ice hockey player. Based on these findings, IHCT and MPS are valuable assessments for coaches to evaluate the individual match performance and the effectiveness of training programs. Further research is needed to extend the scope of the IHCT and MPS for 1st and 2nd league players and for a stronger differentiation between forwards and defenders.

The article presents the standard method of the evaluation of car drivers’ psychomotor reaction times. A characteristic feature of this method is the ability to conduct tests using real vehicles equipped with mobile measuring apparatus. Measurements are carried out on people whose task is to initiate specific maneuvers (such as: a braking or turning maneuver, a combined braking and turning maneuver, as well as e.g., the use of an audio signal) in response to external stimuli coming from different directions. The sources of the stimuli are light signals emitted by variable message signs placed around the vehicle. The developed control and measurement equipment allows us to realize various and complex test scenarios. It generates stimulus sequences, assesses the correctness of the driver’s response and measures its time. This method allows us to obtain sets of results from tests carried out under different conditions and variable test durations. The possibility of testing a large number of participants in a relatively short time and in repetitive conditions allows for reliable statistical inference. The paper presents examples of research results obtained on the basis of few thousand tests carried out on a large group of respondents. The registered data was statistically processed and referred to the literature. A high degree of correlation between the analyzed results and the literature reports proves that the presented method may be a source of data for the analysis of phenomena related to the time of the driver’s response, especially the influence of various factors affecting its values.

Increased interest in carbofunctional organosilicon monomers (silanes) and polymers (silsesquioxanes) is associated with the fact that these compounds are promising reagents and building blocks, materials for micro-electronics, agriculture and medicine, complexones, catalysts, and efficient sorbents. Thus, functional polysilsesquioxanes surpass mineral and organic sorbents in sorption properties. Moreover, they have the highest chemical and thermal stability. Along with sorption activity carbofunctional organosilicon compounds of both monomeric and polymeric structures can possess metallochromic properties. All this paves the way for the large-scale development of analytical systems for the creation of new complex test methods for the determination, concentration and separation of metals from solutions. In the present study the functional monomer N-[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]acetylguanidine 1 was synthesized by the condensation reaction of 1-acetylguanidine and 3-triethoxysilyl-propylamine. Poly-N-[3-silsesquioxanyl) propyl]acetylguanidine 2 was obtained by hydrolytic polycondensation of compound 1. The composition and structure of compounds 1 and 2 were confirmed by IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy, as well as by elemental analysis. Polymer 2 was studied as a sorbent for ions of heavy metals, such as Hg (II), and noble metals Ag (I), Au (III), Rh (II), Pd (II), Pt (IV) from solutions of their salts in hydrochloric or nitric acid. For polymer 2, the values of static sorption capacities have been calculated. The latter depend on the nature of the metal and have values from 78 mg/g (for platinum) to 366 mg/g for rhodium. The graphs of the degree of metal extraction depending on the sorption time and acid concentration have been plotted. A sorption mechanism is proposed, which is realized due to the chelate interaction of the metal cation (M+) with the amide groups of compounds 1 and 2. The interaction of monomer 1, in the form of indicator paper, and polymer 2, in the powder form, with salts of the studied metals is accompanied by intense specific coloration (metallochromy). Color tables of the samples after their contact with the Ag (I), Au (III), Pd (II), Pt (IV), Rh (III), Hg (II) salts are given.
