Abstract

General Background: Handball performance involves physical, technical, tactical, and psychological dimensions, particularly when players must maintain concentration and respond to pressure during competition. Specific Background: Mental toughness and self-confidence are identified in the study as psychological variables associated with athletic performance, while their interrelationship requires examination among university handball players. Knowledge Gap: The mediating role of self-confidence in the relationship between mental toughness and handball performance has not been specifically examined within the University of Kufa handball team. Aims: This study identifies the levels of mental toughness, self-confidence, and performance and examines the relationships among these variables and the mediating role of self-confidence. Results: A descriptive correlational design was applied to all 14 players of the University of Kufa handball team, aged 19–22 years. Mental toughness correlated positively with self-confidence (r = 0.761) and performance (r = 0.648), while self-confidence correlated with performance at r = 0.812. Mental toughness explained 42% of the variance in performance. Mediation analysis showed a path from mental toughness to self-confidence of β = 0.761 and from self-confidence to performance of β = 0.624, while the direct path from mental toughness to performance was β = 0.173 (p = 0.181). The indirect effect was 0.475, with a 95% bootstrap confidence interval of 0.229–0.721 and p = 0.002. Novelty: The study examines self-confidence as a mediating variable between mental toughness and handball performance. Implications: The findings support incorporating mental training alongside physical and technical training within handball preparation. Highlights: Self-confidence correlated with performance at r = 0.812. Mental toughness explained 42% of performance variance. The indirect pathway through self-confidence was 0.475. Keywords: Mental, Toughness, Self Confidence, Performance, Handball.

Abstract

General Background: Basketball learning requires technical proficiency together with tactical perception and decision-making because players must apply skills within changing game situations. Specific Background: Instruction that teaches basic skills separately from actual playing situations may provide limited opportunities for learners to apply skills, recognize tactical conditions, and select appropriate responses. Knowledge Gap: Systematic scientific testing is needed to examine mini-game-based learning for developing skill proficiency, tactical perception, and decision-making among female basketball students. Aims: This study examines mini-game-based learning for developing skill proficiency, tactical awareness, and decision-making among female basketball students in Najaf Governorate. Results: The study involved 30 female students aged 17–19 years and used pre- and post-testing to assess skill proficiency, tactical perception, and decision-making. The learning program progressed from simple to complex situations, including 1-versus-1, 2-versus-1, 2-versus-2, 3-versus-2, and 3-versus-3 scenarios. Post-test scores were higher than pre-test scores for the experimental group, with skill competency increasing from 52.07 to 68.07, tactical perception from 18.27 to 27.53, and decision-making from 17.07 to 25.67. The study reports statistically significant pre-test and post-test differences and higher post-test results for the experimental group. Novelty: The program integrates technical skills, tactical situations, and decision-making within progressively structured mini-game scenarios. Implications: The approach provides a basketball learning context in which students practice skills while perceiving situations, identifying options, and making decisions. Highlights: Skill competency increased from 52.07 to 68.07. Tactical perception increased from 18.27 to 27.53. Decision-making increased from 17.07 to 25.67. Keywords: Mini Game Learning, Basketball, Skill Proficiency, Tactical Perception, Decision Making

Abstract

General Background Nanotechnology continues to drive innovations across environmental remediation, energy storage, and biomedical engineering through sustainable nanomaterial design. Specific Background Among metallic oxides, nickel oxide nanoparticles synthesized via eco-friendly plant extracts present significant advantages over conventional chemical routes due to lower toxicity and cost-effectiveness. Knowledge Gap However, the precise structural and morphological characteristics of nickel oxide nanoparticles synthesized using Roselle leaf extract remain insufficiently characterized. Aims This study investigates the green biosynthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles utilizing Roselle leaf extract as an eco-friendly reducing agent. Results X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the high-purity crystalline structure of the synthesized nickel oxide, while field emission scanning electron microscopy reveals spherical, highly agglomerated clusters alongside single-dispersion rod-like morphologies. Novelty This work establishes a sustainable, single-step green synthesis path utilizing Roselle leaf phytochemicals without toxic external capping agents. Implications These findings demonstrate a viable eco-friendly strategy for producing highly crystalline nickel oxide nanostructures for advanced technological applications. Key Findings Highlights Highly crystalline nickel oxide nanoparticles were successfully biosynthesized using roselle leaf phytochemicals. Structural characterization confirmed a high-purity crystalline phase with distinct diffraction profiles. Morphological analysis demonstrated spherical clustered architectures with single-dispersion rod nanostructures. Keywords: Green Synthesis, Nickel Oxide Nanoparticles, Roselle Leaf Extract, Crystalline Structure, Morphological Characterization

Abstract

General Background Modern healthcare organizations operate in high-stakes environments where quality management is vital for survival. Specific Background Implementing Total Quality Management requires embedding quality principles into routine bedside practices. Knowledge Gap However, a significant disconnect persists between organizational intent and practical service delivery in hospital environments. Aims This study investigates the impact of Total Quality Management dimensions on clinical efficiency, service quality, and patient safety. Results Structural equation modeling of 384 medical staff and patient responses confirms that Quality Culture is the strongest predictor of Patient Safety ($\beta = 0.52, p < 0.001$), while Service Quality strongly correlates with patient satisfaction ($\beta = 0.63, p < 0.001$). A ServQual gap analysis reveals a severe negative magnitude ($-0.77$), with Empathy exhibiting the largest deficit ($-1.10$). Novelty The research validates an integrated structural framework combining industrial Lean Six Sigma and ServQual concepts within healthcare. Implications Hospital leadership must prioritize soft-skills training and culture transformation over purely technical protocol enforcement. Key Findings Highlights Quality culture serves as the primary predictor for patient safety outcomes. Frontline staff demonstrate strong professional resilience despite moderate administrative support. Patient satisfaction gaps are heavily driven by deficits in empathy and responsiveness. Keywords Total Quality Management, Healthcare Service Quality, Patient Safety, Servqual Model, Organizational Culture

Abstract

General Background Diabetes mellitus significantly elevates susceptibility to active tuberculosis infection worldwide. Specific Background Identifying latent tuberculosis infection in diabetic populations allows early preventive therapy to interrupt disease transmission. Knowledge Gap However, localized clinical data evaluating latent tuberculosis prevalence across specific diabetic risk profiles remain limited. Aims This study investigates latent tuberculosis infection prevalence and its correlation with glycemic status and clinical factors in diabetic patients. Results Screening 100 diabetic patients revealed a 15% tuberculin skin test positivity rate, which was significantly higher in patients with uncontrolled HbA1c levels ($p = 0.034$) as well as those with diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy. Novelty This study demonstrates that poor glycemic control and microvascular complications directly correlate with increased latent tuberculosis positivity. Implications Integrating targeted latent tuberculosis screening into routine diabetic management can substantially enhance early case detection and preventive control strategies. Key Findings Highlights Tuberculin skin test positivity reached 15% among the evaluated diabetic cohort. Uncontrolled HbA1c levels significantly correlated with higher latent tuberculosis prevalence. Diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy exhibited strong associations with skin test positivity. Keywords: Latent Tuberculosis, Diabetes Mellitus, Tuberculin Skin Test, Glycemic Control, Microvascular Complications
