Investigation of middle school parents’ attitude towards extracurricular sports activities according to some demographic characteristics

The purpose of this study is to investigate middle school parents’ attitude towards extracurricular sports activities according to some demographic characteristics. The data for the study was obtained from parents of a public school in Aydın Province, in Turkey. To measure parents’ attitude, “The Parents’ Attitude Scales Towards Extracurricular Sports Activities” was used. This scale includes three sub-dimensions: personality development, academic perception, and social support. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and non-parametric tests were used to analyze the data. The findings indicated that parents’ attitude towards extracurricular sports activities were seen to be at a very good level in all dimensions. In demographic variables, only income groups and educational degree groups had significant differences at the p<0.01 level for all of the sub-dimensions. Results indicated that parents’ approach to extracurricular sports activities plays an important role on students’ participation in these activities

The effect of leader-member exchange on job performance of academic staff: An empirical evidence from higher education institutions

Recently, the relationship between leader-member exchange and job performance has become more interesting subject among researchers. However, the literature has a paucity of empirical studies conducted in the higher education institutions; therefore, the relationship between these two variables is not clear. Hence, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of leader-member exchange on the job performance of academic staff in higher educational institutions. The data for the study were collected from the academic staff (n=174) of five faculties of sport sciences in Turkey. The LMX-7 scale developed by Scandura and Graen (1984) was used to determine the quality of the interactions between leaders (i.e., administrators) and members (i.e., academic staff). Sigler and Pearson’s (2000) job performance scale, which is a modified version of Kirkman and Rosen’s (1999) team productivity scale, was used to measure job performance. The findings exposed a statistically significant positive effect of leader-member exchange on job performance (p<0.05)

Structure Preserving Model Order Reduction of Shallow Water Equations

In this paper, we present two different approaches for constructing reduced-order models (ROMs) for the two-dimensional shallow water equation (SWE). The first one is based on the noncanonical Hamiltonian/Poisson form of the SWE. After integration in time by the fully implicit average vector field method, ROMs are constructed with proper orthogonal decomposition/discrete empirical interpolation method (POD/DEIM) that preserves the Hamiltonian structure. In the second approach, the SWE as a partial differential equation with quadratic nonlinearity is integrated in time by the linearly implicit Kahan's method and ROMs are constructed with the tensorial POD that preserves the linear-quadratic structure of the SWE. We show that in both approaches, the invariants of the SWE such as the energy, enstrophy, mass, and circulation are preserved over a long period of time, leading to stable solutions. We conclude by demonstrating the accuracy and the computational efficiency of the reduced solutions by a numerical test problem

Reduced order modelling of nonlinear cross-diffusion systems

In this work, we present a reduced-order model for a nonlinear cross-diffusion problem from population dynamics, for the Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto (SKT) equation with Lotka-Volterra kinetics. The finite-difference discretization of the SKT equation in space results in a system of linear--quadratic ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The reduced order model (ROM) has the same linear-quadratic structure as the full order model (FOM). Using the linear-quadratic structure of the ROM, the reduced-order solutions are computed independent of the full solutions with the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). The computation of the reduced solutions is further accelerated by applying tensorial POD. The formation of the patterns of the SKT equation consists of a fast transient phase and a long steady-state phase. Reduced order solutions are computed by separating the time, into two-time intervals. In numerical experiments, we show for one-and two-dimensional SKT equations with pattern formation, the reduced-order solutions obtained in the time-windowed form, i.e., principal decomposition framework (P-POD), are more accurate than the global POD solutions (G-POD) obtained in the whole time interval. Furthermore, we show the decrease of the entropy numerically by the reduced solutions, which is important for the global existence of nonlinear cross-diffusion equations such as the SKT equation.Comment: To appear in Applied Mathematics and Computatio

Structure-preserving Reduced Order Modeling of non-traditional Shallow Water Equation

An energy preserving reduced order model is developed for the nontraditional shallow water equation (NTSWE) with full Coriolis force. The NTSWE in the noncanonical Hamiltonian/Poisson form is discretized in space by finite differences. The resulting system of ordinary differential equations is integrated in time by the energy preserving average vector field (AVF) method. The Poisson structure of the NTSWE in discretized exhibits a skew-symmetric matrix depending on the state variables. An energy preserving, computationally efficient reduced-order model (ROM) is constructed by proper orthogonal decomposition with Galerkin projection. The nonlinearities are computed for the ROM efficiently by discrete empirical interpolation method. Preservation of the semi-discrete energy and the enstrophy are shown for the full order model, and for the ROM which ensures the long term stability of the solutions. The accuracy and computational efficiency of the ROMs are shown by two numerical test problemsComment: 17 pages, 7 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1907.0940
