Análisis de la eficacia de un programa de entrenamiento de la toma de decisión en fútbol senior amateur

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue analizar la influencia de un programa de entrenamiento de toma de decisiones en fútbol sobre el rendimiento específico en la toma de decisiones que se llevan a cabo en cada demarcación. Para ello, se analizó el índice de eficacia en la toma de decisiones específicas en dos grupos de jugadores amateur (n=32) que utilizaron dos procesos de entrenamiento diferentes. El grupo de control (n=16) utilizó un programa de entrenamiento integral propio del entrenamiento actual de toma decisiones mientras que el grupo experimental llevo a cabo un programa de entrenamiento específico de toma de decisiones compuesto por 8 sesiones. Se evaluó el nivel inicial (i) y final (f) en la toma de decisión específica de ambos grupos, antes y después de las 4 semanas de entrenamiento a través de un índice de actuación porcentual ((aciertos/errores)x100) para cada acción técnico–táctica especifica más relevante en cada demarcación. El test específico utilizado consistió en una situación competitiva de 8x8 en un espacio de 70 x 40 metros (3/4 del campo) en el que se analizaron la toma de decisión específica de cada demarcación: central, lateral derecho, lateral izquierdo, mediocentro, extremo derecho, extremo izquierdo y delantero centro. Se excluyó al portero. Para el diseño del test y la selección de las acciones de juego más relevantes de cada puesto específico fueron consultados expertos con experiencia y formación específica en fútbol. Tras la evaluación final, en ambos grupos se mejoraron las acciones técnico-tácticas específicas analizadas. Fueron mayores las mejoras del grupo experimental en todas las acciones evaluadas (p<.001). Se hallaron únicamente diferencias intergrupales en la evaluación final en M y PA (p<.001), mostrando el grupo experimental mejores resultados. Se concluye que un programa específico de toma de decisiones en fútbol posee un efecto positivo mayor que el proceso de entrenamiento técnico-táctico, sobre la toma de decisiones específica, siendo este efecto especialmente positivo en la demarcación de delantero.

2.7 Lincoln University Senior Class of 1935

After graduation, Lloyd Gaines filed papers with placement office at Lincoln but he could not find an immediate position. Although he minored in education, Gaines was not primarily searching for a teaching position. However, he had a backup plan. Lloyd's background in history led him to an interest in the law and unbeknownst to anyone, save his mentor, Lorenzo Greene, he was preparing to what no American-American had done before. Lloyd Gaines was going to enroll in the University Missouri School of Law.

Women Leaders Resolving Conflict in Higher Education: A Feminist Epistemological Perspective

In an American postsecondary context, conflict is inherent (Gianneschi & Yanagiura, 2006; Valian, 1999). Successful navigation of conflict in the academy is vital for those who aspire to leadership positions (Nadler & Nadler, 1987; Walters, Stuhlmacher, & Meyer, 1998). Presently, however, women face significant barriers to achieving success in higher education administration, including gender expectations for conflict resolution behavior (Bartunek, 1992; Bowles, Babcock, & McGinn, 2005; Gayle, Preiss, & Allen, 2002). While a considerable body of literature exists for understanding gender negotiation, it remains rooted in a masculine paradigm (Kolb & Putnam, 2006; Shuter & Turner, 1997), and, as such, established theories lack a feminist epistemological perspective. Consequently, my primary research question is, How do women leaders experience and perceive conflict in the higher education work environment? I conduct a qualitative study that examines workplace conflict experiences of 15 women leaders from diverse personal and professional backgrounds. Hartsock's (1983) three-tiered gender-sensitive analysis of power, updated to include multicultural perspectives, serves as my theoretical framework. It is a lens through which I evaluate theories, finding multicultural organizational, higher education conflict, and gender negotiation theories most applicable to this study. The framework also creates the foundation upon which I build my study. Specifically, I determine that a feminist research method is most relevant to this investigation. To analyze data obtained through in depth interviews, I employ a highly structured form of grounded theory called dimensional analysis. Based on my findings, I co-construct with study participants a Feminist Conflict Process Theory and Flowchart in which initially the nature of the relationship, and subsequently the level of risk to the relationship, institution, or self, is evaluated. This study supports that which is observed in the conflict resolution practitioner literature, but is unique in its observation of factors that influence decisions within a dynamic conflict resolution process. My findings are significant to women who aspire to serve in leadership positions in higher education, as well as to the academy as a whole, for it expands our knowledge of women's ontological and epistemological perspectives on resolving conflict in postsecondary education.

Factors Affecting Women Leaders in the Denver Group of the Colorado Mountain Club

A study of women leaders in the Colorado Mountain Club (CMC) demonstrated that this group perceived pace as an impediment to leadership growth. This study is an exploratory-quantitative inquiry that assessed the views of 20 of the active women hike leaders in the Denver group. The author designed a survey of factors women hike leaders would rate according to their CMC experiences. Although there are more women members of the Denver group, women leaders comprise only 30% of the leadership group The results from this first ever survey of CMC's women leaders provides a knowledge base for CMC and other interested parties. This study clearly demonstrated the need for more research into its topic of women in leadership positions.

Determinant factors of senior tourists’ length of stay

The current tendency to undertake more trips, but of shorter duration, throughout the year, has meant that the tourist industry has started to show greater interest in attracting those market segments that opt for more prolonged stays, as they are especially profitable. One of these segments is that of seniors. Given the aging demographic of the population worldwide, which is particularly noticeable in Spain, the object of this study is to identify the variables that determine the length of stay of Spanish seniors at their destination. The Negative Binomial model was adapted to the context of length of stay by Spanish seniors and the determinant factors identified were: age, travel purpose, climate, type of accommodation, group size, trip type and the activities carried out at the destination. This study is a contribution to this field from an empirical point of view, given the scarcity of studies of this type and their eminently descriptive character; as well as from a practical level, with interesting implications for the sector.

"An account of books belonging to the late library wch were in the hands of the senior sophisters when it was consumed by fire," ca. 1764

This list appears to be in the hand of Andrew Eliot, Librarian from 1763 to 1767. Books are listed according to format (folio, quarto, octavo) and entries indicate the surname of the student who checked the book out, its author and title, and whether or not the book had since been "returned and sent down." Some entries indicate unusual locations, including "says he returned it to the Pres[ident]" and "Dr. Marsh has it."
