Study of Mongolian target shooting athletes

학위논문(석사)--서울대학교 대학원 :사범대학 체육교육과,글로벌스포츠매니지먼트전공,2019. 8. 김유겸.Sport commitment is psychological state representing the desire or resolve to continue participation in specific sport or sport in general and represents an athlete's psychological states of attachment to their participation. Through the committed motivation for sports participation, individuals form their activity choices, how much effort they put forth in sport activity-related endeavors, and how long they persist, particularly in the face of obstacles and failure. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate potential differences in the levels of the supported Sport commitment model (Scanlan et al.,1993, 2016) variables on the shooting athletes basis on the skill level. Direct comparison of the commitment factors between three skill level of shooting athletes will allow coaches, practitioners, and managers to understand the athletes commitment characteristics for their sport, thereby will help to increase the retention and skill level further. For the target shooting sport which requires a great amount of devotion and commitment from individuals, it is crucial to understand each level athletes commitments characteristics in order to optimize for structuring the sports program to motivate not only the grassroots level, but also inspire elite level performance. For that reason, the current study examined the sport commitment differences of shooting athletes with a different level of skill. Design: Drawing on the literature reviewed as an underpinning framework, the survey questionnaire was designed which was administrated to competitors attending National Shooting Sport Championships 2018. Based on the Sport commitment model (Scanlan et al.,1993; 2016), the assessment tool (SCQ-2 questionnaire by Scanlan, Chow, Sousa, Scanlan, & Knifsend, (2016)), 12 sources commitment supported by 58 items, extracted and validated from the research of Scanlan et al., (2016), is employed to measure the shooting athletes commitment. Methods: The Cronbachs alpha for the scale of 0.819 suggests that there is an internal consistency within the scale. A one-way between subjects ANOVA was conducted to compare respondents on sport commitment and its determinants self-reported beginner, intermediate, and advanced skill ratings as defined by the Mongolian Shooting Sport Federations mastery category (MSSF, 2017). In the study, the surveys were distributed to 203 athletes who were participated in Mongolian National Shooting Sport Championships 2018. A total of 142 surveys were returned, of which 114 were deemed usable (response rate = 56.1%). Results: A one-way ANOVA analysis revealed significant differences among 7 (out of 12) sport commitment variables between skill levels. Significant differences existed across the groups by the variables of Other priorities [F(2,111)=3.775, p=0.026], Personal Investment Quantity [F(2,111)=8.767, p=0.000], Personal investment loss [F(2,111)=4.249, p=0.017], Social support informational [F(2,111)=4.465, p=0.014], Desire to excel mastery [F(2,111)=6.490, p=0.002], Desire to excel social [F(2,110)=7.653, p=0.001], Enthusiastic commitment [F(2,110)=10.450, p=0.000]. Moreover, result shows that beginner shooting athletes reported a significantly higher level of personal investment loss, social support informational, and enthusiastic commitment than other two groups. Intermediate athletes in the study were scored particularly higher for other priorities and desire to excel mastery. Advanced athlete group was higher scored in personal investment quantity and desire to excel social variables.Table of Contents Acknowledgement i Abstract iii Table of Contents vi List of Tables viii Table of Figures ix Chapter 1.

Through the Mansion: A Poetry Collection

Expressive writing is a term a lot of people do not recognize in its formal name, but it is a way of writing that some of us use without knowing it. Expressive writing is, as the University of New Hampshire says, “personal and emotional writing without regard to punctuation, verb agreement, or other technical aspects of writing” (UNH Tales). Examples of expressive writing are free writing, journals, diary entries, and more. The idea of expressive writing is cathartic and intimate, letting the writer write what is on their mind without having to worry about the rules of writing in academia

Compositional changes in ripening grapes: Caftaric and coutaric acids

Caftaric and coutaric acid contents (juice concentration, amounts per berry, percent of the cis forms) were investigated in samples fully protected from oxidation as ripeness increased in harvests from Grenache, French Colombard and two harvests from different vineyards of Ruby Cabernet Vitis vinifera grapes. Segregation by berry density gave sugar content (ripeness) sequences· free of other variables such as weather and provided berries of nearly identical °Brix at each ripeness level. The two Ruby Cabernet harvests, even though differing considerably in growing conditions and average °Brix level, were much closer in the details of caftaric and coutaric acid compositions to each other than to the other varieties indicating close genetic (varietal) control of these components. The proportion of coutaric to caftaric and the percentage of cis forms tend to rise toward the end of ripening. The overall ripening pattern appears to be that these components are synthesized as the berry enlarges during ripening. If the rate of synthesis is able to keep up with the berry enlargement and the content moderate (French Colombard, Ruby Cabernet), the concentration in juice stays nearly constant at a level typical for the variety. If the content is high (Grenache) and the synthesis does not keep up with berry enlargement, the concentration in juice falls as the berry content rises during ripening, but a relatively high concentration is maintained. Overripe, shriveling berries rise in concentration, but may lose caftaric acid by oxidation if tissue breakdown occurs

Caftaric acid in grapes and conversion to a reaction product during processing

Grapes were crushed in the presence of high levels of the anti-oxidants SO2 and ascorbic acid, in an atmosphere deprived of oxygen. Hydroxycinnamic derivatives, particularly caftaric acid in the grape juice were found in much higher amounts than when the usual processing methods were employed.Partial oxidation of caftaric acid is not only very rapid and extensive during unprotected grflpe crushing and juice separation but gives a major reaction product that behaves as a single entity and survives through vinification. It gives a sharp HPLC peak and behaves reciprocally with caftaric, i.e., when caftaric acid in must remains high relative to the berry content the reaction product is low and vice versa. The product appeared identical in all grape varieties tested.The reaction product is about one-sixth as extractable by immiscible solvents as is the parent caftaric acid. It can constitute a large part of the 320 nm absorbance of a wine and explains the variable results and poor yields in attempts to isolate caftaric acid from ordinary wine or juice.L'acide caftarique des raisins et sa conversion en produit de réaction au cours de la vinificationA l'aide de HPLC il a été mis en évidence que l'acide caftarique (caffeoyl tartrique) subit des pertes rapides lors du foulage des raisins dans le cas où ceux-ci ne sont pas complètement protégés contre l'oxidation, comme par ex. foulage en atmosphère inerte en présence d'un niveau élevé de métabisulfite de potassium et d'acide ascorbique. En l'absence de telles précautions les valeurs de la teneur originelle en acide caftarique, considérées comme étant caractéristiques des variétés de vigne, sont douteuses. Des échantillons totalement protégés de 5 variétés blanches et 3 variétés rouges de Vitis vinifera, mûres, se rangent entre 200 mg/l de jus pour Grenache et 50 mg/l pour Carignane. Dans la mesure que l'exposition à l'oxygène et l'activité de phénolase sont évaluables la perte peut être importante. Une majeure partie de cette perte consiste dans un produit de réaction de l'acide caftarique ici pour la première fois décelé (CRP). Ce CRP peut pénétrer dans le vin et sa détermination par HPLC ainsi que celle de l'acide caftarique non transformé montrent, en fonction de la variété de vigne, une grande conversion au cours de la préparation normale du moût. De telles analyses de vins peuvent servir d'indicateurs de l'exposition à l'oxygène au cours de la préparation du moût. La nature du CRP est actuellement étudiée et sa présence peut contribuer à expliquer la faible récupération de l'acide caftarique du moût ou du vin

A Role of Training in The Successful Implementation of Hospital Information Systems

The adoption of HIS has many benefits including reduced waiting time, errors, less paperwork and errors, and easy data retrieval and reporting. The research aims to define whether the training provided by the IT department has an effect on the successful implementation of HIS at the hospital. System and information qualities were significantly associated with the benefit of HIS. Data taken from 296 hospital employees of Mongolian Japan Hospital is used to assess the effect of the implementation of HIS on employee satisfaction and individual benefit. Training had a mediating role in enhancing the effects of system and information quality effects on net benefits perceived by employees. Assessing individual training results may lead to the effective administration of training at the hospitals

El sector del fútbol en España: modelo de negocio, disciplina financiera y eventualidad de entrada en concurso de acreedores.

El sector futbolístico en nuestro país presenta problemas económicos que arrastra con anterioridad a la entrada del presente siglo, y que, poco a poco, aumentan la brecha existente entre los equipos de la Liga de Futbol Profesional, propiciando la entrada en concurso de acreedores de alguno de ellos. En el siguiente trabajo realizaremos un recorrido por las transformaciones que han sufrido los equipos de fútbol, los datos más importantes del sector y las características sustanciales de su modelo de negocio. Entenderemos mejor su contexto empresarial y analizaremos las diferencias existentes entre estas entidades y otros tipos de sociedades mercantiles. Haremos también hincapié en la facilidad que han experimentado históricamente para llegar a un convenio con sus acreedores y evitar la liquidación empresarial durante el proceso concursal.Universidad de Sevilla.
