The Important Game-Related Statistics for Qualifying Next Rounds in Euroleague

Euroleague is one of the most popular professional indoor sports leagues in the world. It is globally ranked as the fi ft h-highest professional indoor sports league and the second-highest professional basketball league, just trailing behind the National Basketball Association (NBA). Th e objective of this study was to determine which game-related statistics can assist in predicting the team that will qualify for the next rounds of the Euroleague. Th e data used in the study were obtained from each team’s offi cial average box score on the Euroleague website for 2010-2017. Th e datasets were arranged into two groups depending on the qualifi cation of the teams into the subsequent round. Discriminant analysis was applied to fi nd the gamerelated statistics that better contribute to qualifying for the next round. A three-point fi eld-goal percentage was considered to be an essential variable in every round. However, it was also observed that, contrary to expectations, off ensive rebounds had a negative eff ect in the fi nal four rounds. It is recommended these results be used to plan the team strategies and the player strategies accordingly in a long-term and demanding tournament like Euroleague

The investigation of sportsmanship behaviors of university students

The aim of the present study was to examine the effective factors on sportsmanship behaviors of university students. With this purpose, students' attitudes for rules, injurious acts, opponent game perspective and sportsmanship behaviors were examined, and the effects of these factors were modeled via structural equation modeling. To measure the effective factors on students sportsmanship behaviors, a likert scale type questionnaire, ranging from 1 'strongly disagree' to 5 'strongly agree' was applied on a face-to-face basis. The sportsmanship questionnaire about sportsmanship was composed of 45 questions. In the statistical analysis obtained data, SPSS and LISREL software were used. The results of the analyses indicate that while "game perspective" is the most effective factor on students' sportsmanship behavior, the factors; "opponent", "rules", and "injurious acts" are also statistically significant.El objetivo del presente estudio fue examinar los factores efectivos sobre el comportamiento deportivo de los estudiantes universitarios. Con este propósito, se examinaron las actitudes de los estudiantes respecto a las reglas, los actos perjudiciales, la perspectiva del juego del oponente y los comportamientos de deportividad, y los efectos de estos factores se modelaron mediante el modelado de ecuaciones estructurales. Para medir los factores efectivos en los comportamientos de deportividad de los estudiantes, se aplicó un cuestionario tipo escala tipo Likert, que varía de 1 "totalmente en desacuerdo" a 5 "totalmente de acuerdo" en persona. El cuestionario de deportividad sobre deportividad estaba compuesto por 45 preguntas. En el análisis estadístico de los datos obtenidos, se utilizaron el software SPSS y LISREL. Los resultados de los análisis indican que si bien la "perspectiva del juego" es el factor más efectivo en el comportamiento deportivo de los estudiantes, los factores; "Oponente", "reglas" y "actos nocivos" también son estadísticamente significativos.O objetivo do presente estudo foi examinar os fatores efetivos no comportamento esportivo de universitários. Para tanto, foram examinadas as atitudes dos alunos em relação a regras, atos prejudiciais, a perspectiva de jogo do adversário e o comportamento esportivo, e os efeitos desses fatores foram modelados através da modelagem de equações estruturais. Para medir os fatores efetivos no comportamento esportivo dos alunos, foi aplicado um questionário da escala do tipo Likert, que varia de 1 "discordo totalmente" a 5 "concordo totalmente" pessoalmente. O questionário de espírito esportivo foi composto por 45 perguntas. Na análise estatística dos dados obtidos, foram utilizados os softwares SPSS e LISREL. Os resultados das análises indicam que, embora a "perspectiva do jogo" seja o fator mais eficaz no comportamento esportivo dos estudantes, os fatores; "Oponente", "regras" e "atos prejudiciais" também são estatisticamente significativos

Post-stroke lower urinary system dysfunction and its relation with functional and mental status: a multicenter cross-sectional study

###EgeUn###Background: Review of the literature clearly reveals that little is known about the association between functional and mental status, and Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction (LUTD) in patients with stroke. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess functional and mental status in stroke patients and to identify possible associations with the prevalence, severity and bother of LUTD. Material and methods: This study was designed as a cross-sectional study and included 260 stroke patients enrolled from six different hospitals in Turkey. The patients were questioned using the Danish Prostatic Symptom Score (DAN-PSS) Questionnaire to evaluate LUTD, and evaluated using the Modified Barthel Index (MBI), Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire (I-QoL), and the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). Results: At least one LUTD finding was reported in 243 (93.5%) patients; the most commonly encountered complaint in these patients was nocturia (75.8%). The mean MBI, MMSE, and I-QoL scores were found to be significantly lower in LUTD (+) patients compared to LUTD (-) patients (p = 0.000, p = 0.005, and p < 0.01, respectively). Similarly all parameters (MBI, MMSE, and I-QoL scores) assessed were found to be significantly lower for patients with urinary incontinence than those without incontinence (p = 0.000, p = 0.000, and p < 0.01, respectively). Conclusion: LUTD is a common problem in patients with stroke. LUTD is associated with poorer cognitive and functional status and the quality of life in these patients. We, therefore, suggest that bladder dysfunction should not be overlooked during rehabilitation of stroke patients
