Examining the Relationship between Cooperative and Skilled Learning for Satisfaction of Students Studying Foreign Languages (Russian, English, and Arabic) |Chapter 8 | An Overview of Literature, Language and Education Research Vol. 5

This study was performed to examine the relationship between cooperative learning and skilled learning with the satisfaction of students studying Russian, English, and Arabic languages. The students’ involvement and cooperation in the learning process are so important that some education professionals have proposed the participation rate of students in learning activities as a criterion for teachers’ evaluation. New and advanced theories on collaborative (cooperative) research in group learning suggest that learning is effective when the learner plays the central role.  The research method was a correlational one. The study's statistical population included the students of fields Russian, English and Arabic languages at the University of Guilan in 2016 who were selected by the cluster sampling method accounting for 120 subjects. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data. The data were analyzed using SPSS-18 software, the Pearson Correlation test, and the Linear Regression. According to the results, the variable of educational satisfaction was positively correlated with cooperative learning (r = 0.338) and skilled learning (r = 0.449). The skilled learning variable and then, the cooperative learning together explain 0.22 of the satisfaction variance.  Also, the results revealed that cooperative learning and skilled learning have a significant effect on students’ satisfaction. Long-term changes in teaching practices depend on teachers understanding conceptually what cooperation is as well as being able to conduct cooperative learning lessons. In the school, staff members work in collegial support groups specially to increase teacher’s instructional expertise and success, task forces to plan and implement solutions to school-wide problems, and ad hoc decision-making groups to involve all staff members in important school decisions. Given the importance of this issue, we can say strengthening teaching skills can help increase the student’s satisfaction rate and quality of higher education. In practice, it is also suggested that cooperative and skilled learning approaches will be taught to teachers and included in the in-service training courses.

Influence of Social Media Engagements on Satisfaction, Attitude, and Academic Expression: Exploring Behavior Patterns among Pre-Service Teachers | Chapter 4 | An Overview of Literature, Language and Education Research Vol. 2

This study focuses on the impact of social media use on pre-service teachers' satisfaction, attitude, and academic expression. Data were collected using a researcher-designed questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with 10 participants. A random sample of 264 participants, stratified by sex, year level, and social media use, revealed high usage rates for platforms like Facebook, Messenger, and TikTok. While average satisfaction levels were similar across genders, year levels displayed variations in attitudes towards social media engagement. Interestingly, no significant differences were found in how pre-service teachers utilized social media for academic purposes throughout their program. Individuals spending more time on social media reported higher satisfaction, and positive correlations emerged between all three variables – satisfaction, attitude, and academic expression. The thematic analysis also highlighted mixed feelings towards the pre-service teacher program, with many expressing the value of social media as a tool for communication, accessing resources, and staying motivated. The study recommends that integrating social media into pre-service teacher programs requires a unique approach, addressing concerns about information reliability and distractions while harnessing its potential to enhance educational environments.

Assessment of Patient’s Perceptions about Afternoon Clinics and Their Satisfaction at Suhar Hospital | Chapter 2 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 7

Background: Afternoon clinics have gained popularity as an alternative to traditional daytime clinics, providing patients with the convenience of scheduling appointments and overcoming potential barriers such as work obligations or transportation issues. The development of Afternoon clinics aims to reduce the patient's negative experience from overcrowding in the clinics. Despite their increasing prevalence, there is limited research on the impact of afternoon clinics on patient satisfaction. Therefore, this study seeks to contribute to the existing literature by exploring patient perception and satisfaction with the afternoon clinics at Suhar Hospital.
 
Methods: This cross-sectional survey targeted outpatients attending both morning and evening clinics at Suhar Hospital during May-June 2023. A total of 100 patients aged 18 years participated in the study. At the clinics, patients were provided with a self-reported questionnaire during their visits. The benefits of afternoon appointments were evaluated using a likert scale. The results showed an excellent internal consistency of 0.957. Descriptive and inferential statistics were utilized to analyze the data.
 
Results: Of the 100 patients who submitted the survey, 58% were females, 73% aged 30 years and above, 53% held a university degree and 56% were employed. Most participants (67%) visited the hospital during the morning shift with 44% visiting endocrine clinics and 68% coming for follow-up visits. Overall, 83% of participants expressed satisfaction with health services received at current visits. The majority of afternoon appointments (67%) were first visit while the majority of moring appointments (85%) were follow-up visits. Patients who attended afternoon shift expressed a preference for future afternoon appointments while patients who attended morning shift preferred future morning appointments. Most respondents (91%) supported the hospital to continue offering afternoon clinics, 95% requested more specialities and 94% suggested providing afternoon appointments for specialized clinics at polyclinics level. As an overall preference, 47% of participants preferred afternoon slot, 15% preferred morning slot while 38% had no specific preference. Participants generally agreed on the advantages of afternoon shift with an average agreement level of 4.12 (SD=0.72) on a scale of 5 scores. However, participants had concerns about potential conflics with study or work schedules (Mean=3.98, SD=1.03), the flexibility of medical record staff to process their visit (Mean=4.03, SD=0.88) and the availability of transportation (Mean=4.04, SD=0.84).
 
Conclusion: Lunching afternoon clinics at Suhar Hospital was an initiative to meet patient needs and expectations. Patients reported an overall satisfaction of afternoon time in terms of reducing waiting times, offering flexible scheduling options and enhancing logistical arrangements. For further improvement of patient access to specialized care, afternoon clinics can be expanded to include more specialities at the level of the hospital as well as integrating the service into primary health care. This would allow for greater accessibility and convenience for patients seeking specialized care in various locations. By this study, the ministry of health (MOH) can further improve the quality of care provided to its population.

Exploring Burnout Factors among General Surgeons in India: A Survey-Based Analysis | Chapter 9 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 2

 The prevalence of burnout among healthcare providers has been on the rise in recent times. Despite numerous studies and surveys highlighting these elevated levels of burnout, none have specifically investigated its primary cause. To address this gap, researchers conducted an online survey targeting 800 general surgeons across India, gathering 221 unique and complete responses for analysis. 49.77% of the general surgeons indicated that insufficient work-life balance and high workload were the primary reasons for experiencing burnout. While many expressed dissatisfactions with compensation and medical infrastructure, they also expressed belief in having sufficient opportunities for learning and skill development in their field. Further research is warranted to explore burnout in other medical specialties.

How a 12-Hour Shift System Affects the Quality of Performance in Law Enforcement: A Critical Review | Chapter 1 | Recent Research Advances in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 5

The aim of this study is to review existing data sources to identify what we know about the prevalence of 12-hour shifts in nursing and the impact on both staff and administration personnel in the police. Police work is a 24/7 operation and the issue of police scheduling is of utmost importance in achieving appropriate service area coverage at all times on all days. Specifically, this study aims to address the following questions: What is the prevalence of 12-hour shifts in policing? How much internal variation in shift length is there in policing? What impact does shift length have on the quality of policing and staff experience? To simulate a 12-hour shift rotation and measure the difference in performance if any. This study has reviewed three data sources on 12-hour shifts to explore the potential impact of 12- hour. Significant reductions in neurobehavioural performance during shift work and particularly night work have long been recognised. A 2022 survey of SAPS (South African Police Service) members found that 70% of respondents said they were overworked and 60% of respondents said they were underpaid. There are conflicting reports of the effects of 12-hour shifts on performance, alertness, and safety. Furthermore, research suggests that older shift workers have more sleep disruption and maladaptation to shift work. When this is combined with longer hours at work there may be considerable reductions in performance for older compared with younger workers. Henceforth, 12-hour shifts aren't suitable for everyone or in all circumstances as heavy lifting and other physical labour may make a job unsuitable owing to the risk of ergonomic injuries and exhaustion.

Finite Element Modelling of GFRP Reinforced Concrete T - Beams | Chapter 7 | Research and Developments in Engineering Research Vol. 7

The present study's basic goal is to judge the static load act of internal GFRP-reinforced RC T-beams employing finite material analysis software named ANSYS. Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite is defined as a polymer namely reinforced with fibre. It shows a class of materials that fall into a classification referred to as composite fabrics. Fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) are being used widely in the rehabilitation and retrofitting of existent structures as an external support because of their features like high strength to pressure and stiffness to burden ratios, corrosion opposition, light weight and high stamina. In reinforced actual structures like bridges, chimneys, high-rise houses, etc., they are particularly utilised. In place of fortify, FRP reinforcements are now employed in constructions that are mostly erected along the shore or in hostile environments. These reinforcements come in the shape of reinforcing bars. The basic benefit of FRP rebar is its disintegration resistance, light weight, grit and easy give. The FRP rebars are being used worldwide for many constructions including bridge makeups as well, but not well explored by way of its availability. Totally twelfth numbers of specimens were deliberate in this study with variable parameters to a degree type of reinforcements, reinforcements ratio and concrete grade. Modelling of the T- beams were accomplished ANSYS using dependable 65 and link 8 element and the same were resolved under static loading environments. The results obtained from the ANSYS were distinguished with the theoretical and exploratory analysis. Based on the contrasting suitable conclusions and approvals are made in this place research work. It has been experimentally justified that GFRP bars have a lower modulus of elasticity than brace bars. Since GFRP reinforcement has a lower modulus of elasticity than fortify reinforcement, the deflection was best in the GFRP-reinforced examples. Compared to a normal steel supported beam, the GFRP reinforced beam has a better maximum moment bearing skill. According to stress-strain curves, the FRP reinforced beams display fragile behavior before failing. However, concrete condensation is the most common collapse mode. The GFRP supported beam can handle almost as much weight as a rational steel supported beam. In comparison to a normal steel supported beam, the GFRP reinforced beam had a better residual deflection worth.

(iii) To identify the elements influencing employees in privately owned industries in terms of leadership and managerial satisfaction. (iv) To determine how different working departments' levels of leadership-managerial satisfaction effect employees in the industry. Survey research methodology was used. According to research findings, the following factors—pay, social simulation, potential for promotion, job condition, and job security—have an impact on the satisfaction of secondary school sector workers across all types of (public and private) enterprises. According to the results of the ANOVA test, which had an alpha value of 0.428, which was higher than 0.01 and 0.05, there is no statistically significant difference in the levels of satisfaction among all departments in the industry. According to these findings, the researcher suggests that the following policy changes be made by the government and the ruling party (CCM): I Secondary school industry workers (teachers) should be paid and given their return time; ii) Secondary school industry workers (administrators) should be paid and given their retur time; and iii) Secondary school industry workers should have positive productivity in the industry (academic performance of the students). Giving them ample time for social simulation (to meet their family, friends, and go shopping), promoting everyone equitably and quickly, and providing them with good employment conditions like housing and transportation should all be given priority. Threats should not be used by business executives (administrators in schools) toward their subordinates. ii) Employees in the secondary school industry who work in the fields of science, art, and other subjects should all be acknowledged, valued, and accorded equal importance. It should be remembered that the Ministry of Education and its sectors, which are under the control of the ruling party, are responsible for any errors made that undermine and halt the expansion of this educational business (CCM).

Evaluation of Service Quality and Resulting Customer Satisfaction of Malaysia Local Airlines Company| Chapter 05 | New Innovations in Economics, Business and Management Vol. 5

 The goal of this article is to assess airline customers' perceptions of quality in relation to services offered by airlines, as well as their impact on customer satisfaction.

Design/Methodology/Approach: A convenience sample of 100 people was employed to test hypotheses for this study, with data calculated using SPSS.

Findings: Based on the findings, two of the hypotheses are supported, while three are not, when it comes to customer satisfaction with airline service.

Limitations and Implications of the Study: The study looks into the relationship between service quality and customer satisfaction in the airline business. This research focuses on all airline service users' perceptions of the airline company's service quality. The study's biggest weakness is that it focuses on customer happiness across all airlines, so the results cannot be generalised.

Practical Implications: The findings suggest that the corporation should concentrate on several aspects of airline service quality in order to increase passenger happiness and foster the creation of long-term customer relationships.

A Hospital Based Study on Perception and Satisfaction Regarding Breast Feeding among Breast Feeding Mothers | Chapter 17 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 4

 Background: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), breast feeding is a crucial technique for ensuring child health and survival, with nearly two out of every three children not exclusively breastfed and only 41% exclusively breastfed for six months. Breastfeeding pleasure is defined as "the satisfying feeling received during breastfeeding as a result of cooperation between the mother and the newborn to fulfil wishes or requirements." The goal of the study was to determine maternal breast feeding satisfaction as well as factors that influence maternal breast feeding satisfaction among moms who are breast feeding in a tertiary care hospital.

Methodology: This is a 9-month hospital-based study that took place in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Sri Devaraj Urs Medical College, SDUAHER, Kolar from December 2019 to August 2020. Data from a previous study was used to calculate the sample size.

The study included 270 mothers, with 82 (30.3%) having completed high school, 110 (40.7%) being between the ages of 21 and 25, 184 (68.07%) being Hindus, 125 (46.2%) belonging to the Upper middle class of Modified BG Prasad's classification 2019, 199 (73.6%) having delivered by normal delivery, and 142 (52.7%) having multiple children. Only 47 (17.4%) of 270 breast-feeding women had satisfactory knowledge, 148 (54.8%) had satisfactory attitude, and only 214 (79.3%) had satisfactory practise. Mothers who had a higher level of education, had more than one child, were a stay-at-home mom, and gave birth by normal delivery all scored better statistically.

Conclusion: Breast-feeding pleasure was influenced by education, job title, number of children, and family members, and was poor in many sectors.

As a result, this article examines the impact of traditional cultures on housing satisfaction in Ikorodu, Lagos State. The typical core During annual cultural festivals, residents of Ikorodu's primary traditional communities disagree with the premise that culture and housing satisfaction are incompatible. Ikorodu's main traditional neighbourhoods continue to grow on a regular basis, despite their strong conviction in traditional customs. As a result, the impact of traditional cultures on housing satisfaction in Ikorodu, Lagos State, is examined in this research. The standard core Findings revealed that during the period of annual festivals in the neighbourhood, a very serious negative effect is felt on people's income class, gender freedom of movement, commercial property occupation, and people and vehicle movement, but a mild or no negative effect is felt on residents' religion and age.

PLS-SEM Based Service Quality and Satisfaction Analysis in Sri Lanka's Open Distance Learning | Chapter 6 | Insights into Economics and Management Vol. 9

 In today's Higher Education (HE) field, Students' Perceived Service Quality (SPSQ) and Students' Satisfaction (SSAT) in Open Distance Learning (ODL) are well-known qualities. On various reasons, a large number of research papers have explored various sorts of factors. The ODL students come from a variety of family backgrounds, including cultural, social, and technological skill levels, and they all lack fundamental educational admission criteria. This must take into account how HE institutions might combine their diverse offerings with quality-added features to gain a competitive advantage in terms of student satisfaction. When compared to the increase in the number of registered students year after year, the number of students finishing the course or graduating is decreasing. Most colleges and higher education institutions have struggled with student retention and attrition issues, and have rushed to develop solutions based on the notions of service quality and satisfaction. The primary goal of this research is to identify the major elements that influence the SPSQ and SSAT. The modified SERVQUAL components will be examined in relation to the SPSQ and SSAT in this study. Assurance, Empathy, Responsiveness, Reliability, and Website Content were the independent variables, while Students' Perceived Service Quality and Satisfaction in ODL in the OUSL were the dependent factors. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from 760 undergraduate students at the Open University of Sri Lanka (OUSL) in six major regional centers around the island. In Sri Lanka, the OUSL is the only university that operates under the ODL system. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in the analysis. The SPSQ and Reliability, Responsiveness, and Website Content all have important correlations. SSAT's correlations with Reliability and Website Content, as well as the relationship between SPSQ and SSAT, are also noteworthy. The SPSQ has an R2 of 0.244 (24%) and the SSAT has an R2 of 0.549. (55 percent ). The same study could be proposed as a future study with more service quality characteristics, as well as a longitudinal data collection method at regional centers to learn more about service quality and satisfaction, which influence student retention and completion. The inconsequential relationships that students have bestowed onto their teaching staff the attributes of Assurance and Empathy. The other three service qualities (responsiveness, reliability, and website content) must be taken into account and given special attention in order to improve the service quality of the offered service.

Salivary Alpha Amylase for Exposing the Nurse Workplace Stress | Chapter 4 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 2

It is hard to control stress when stress is part of the work environment, which can cause persistent violence, and which in turn affects the health and capacity of a person to act. The link between the nurses' occupational stressors, physical and mental health improvements has been discovered. The major causes of occupational stress among nursing staff have been described as a combination of high workplace expectations, over-responsibility, and over-authority. A total of 473 nurses from the four Mongolian tertiary referral hospitals participated in the study. To find out how nurses interpret and tolerate stress, we used a Job Stress Profile (WSP) questionnaire by Rice. The Likert scale was used in assessing the questions. With regard to the physical stress factor, using the SALIVA AMYLASE MONITOR 2004, a Japanese unit, we tested the alpha-amylase level in the saliva of the nurses. Three instruments, a salivary transcription system, a test strip and an optical analyzer were included in the produced salivary amylase activity monitor. Firstly, for 30 seconds in the morning, the test strip was taken and inserted under the tongue. Occasionally, our research was performed during the time of COVID-19 pandemic quarantine, and we could clearly see that under the urged stressed situation, the nurses at the National Center for Infectious Diseases are working hard.
