Abstract:

The covid-19 pandemic has affected the lives of every Filipino adolescent, adults, and LGBQ students. Knowledge of these affecting factors is limited. The study's primary purpose was to determine the level of stress among adolescents and adult students. Nine-hundred thirty (930) students participated in the study (First-year College and Junior High School students, n=724; Graduate Students, n=206). Result showed that among adult students which were grouped into gender: 30.67% male (n=23), 65.33% female (n=49), and 4% LGBQ (n=3) experienced a high level of Covid-19 stress-related symptoms, while 27.03% male (n=10), 67.57% female (n=25), and 5.41% LGBQ (n=2) scored lower level of stress. Likewise, among adolescent students, 32.32% male (n=83), 66.79% female (n=177), and 1.89% LGBQ (n=5) experienced high level of stress while 43.65% male (n=50), 52.64% (n=60), and 3.51% LGBQ (n=4) reported to have low stress level. Moreover, male adolescents and female adults were found to have higher Covid-19 stress-related symptoms. Consequently, k-means scores showed that 36.60% of adolescent students scored high (mean scores of 2.78-4.00) while 15.7% scored low (mean scores of .00-1.69). Meanwhile, among adult students, 36.4% scored a higher level of stress (mean scores of 2.81-4), and 45.6% reported having a lower level of stress (mean scores of .03-1.81). Also, adolescent students are prone to experience higher stress levels than adult students living in the Philippine region. Adult students may have established better coping mechanisms compared to adolescents. The researchers discussed the importance of designing and providing an evidence-based psychological intervention to address the participants' needs. A qualitative study may also be conducted to unveil the phenomenon of stress-related experiences among adults, adolescents, and LGBQ students to better explain the current study results

Abstract:

Peace education attempts to promote awareness of non-violent and positive means of production with conflicts and violent concepts, and to endorse necessary capabilities, knowledge, attitudes and values. This purpose of this empirical study was to examine the Perceptions of Female Teachers in Transferring Peace Concepts among adult Students of public and private schools in Pakistan. However, Mix method, sequential explanatory method was used to attain the objectives of the study. Data of the main study was drawn from students of secondary level of the public and private sector of district Korangi of Karachi, Pakistan. Random sampling technique was employed to select participants of the study. Data was collected equally from both genders. Quantitative data gathered through questionnaire from female teachers and analyzed by using SPSS qualitative data was analyzed with themes. The results of this empirical study revealed that education, schools and teachers are playing influential role in transferring peace concepts and behaviors among adult students it is very vital part of peace building in students and also for their character building. This study concludes that teachers are basic pillar for the building knowledge and behaviors, teachers and educational institution can develop peace concepts and behavior through teaching and developing needs of our violently ill society through mainstreaming peace concepts in education system. Research findings also exposed that Teachers are aware to the meaning and understanding of peace concept to some extent. It was recommended that School atmosphere, teachers, classroom environment, curriculum, activities and concerned school setting should be transformed in such a way to reduce violent actions and conflicted situations in school that will lead to better future citizens.

Abstract:

Parent-child communication and parent-child relationship quality could influence young adult children’s well-being. Further, the associations between parent-child communication and relationship quality and young adult children’s well-being could differ in various cultural environments. In this study, we examined the associations among these constructs and potential cultural differences with two large samples of female college students from the U.S. ( N = 393) and Finland ( N = 264). Several major findings from structural equation modeling were revealed. For the U.S. sample, better parent-child communication, but not relationship quality, was related to female young adults’ better well-being (i.e., lower levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms and higher levels of life satisfaction). For the Finnish sample, however, better parent-child relationship quality, but not communication, was related to fewer problems in female young adults’ well-being. Further model comparisons suggested that the association between parent-child communication and well-being was much stronger among American female young adult children whereas the association between parent-child relationship quality and well-being was much stronger among Finnish female young adult children. In addition, parental divorce was negatively associated with parent-child communication and parent-child relationship quality. Other covariates included young adult children’s age, living arrangements, and family income. The models revealed similar patterns for mothers and fathers. Cultural implications were discussed.

Abstract: The short-form Revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was completed by 462 female university students between the ages of 18 and 30 in France, together with the Francis Scale of Attitude toward Christianity. The findings are consistent with those from a series of studies employing the same measure of religiosity among school pupils and adults in England and Wales, thus adding to the cross-cultural evidence concerning the stability of the association between personality and religion. According to these findings there is an inverse relationship between psychoticism and religiosity, while neither neuroticism nor extraversion is either positively or negatively related to religiosity. These findings are discussed in terms of Eysenck’s theory relating personality to social attitudes and in light of discrepant findings proposed by other studies conducted among adult samples. Personalidad y religión entre los estudiantes del sexo femenino en universidades de Francia Resumen: 462 jóvenes francesas de entre 18 y 30 años cumplimentaron la forma abreviada y revisada del cuestionario de personalidad de Eysenck junto con la escala de actitudes hacia el Cristianismo de Francis. Los resultados son equivalentes a una serie de resultados de estudios utilizando la misma escala de religión entre estudiantes y adultos en Inglaterra y Gales. Según estos resultados, existe una relación inversa entre el psicoticismo y la religión, aunque ni el neuroticismo ni la extraversión tienen una relación positiva o negativa con la religión. Se habla de estos resultados en términos de la teoría de Eysenck que relaciona la personalidad con las actitudes sociales y teniendo en cuenta los resultados discrepantes propuestos por otros estudios con muestras adultas.

Abstract:

Objective: This study investigated the extent to which the efficacy of a hypertension awareness programme in Singapore may differ based on age, gender, race and housing type (as proxy for income). Method: Pre- and post-programme survey responses on blood pressure (BP) knowledge and beliefs from 9,960 grade 5 students were assessed. Post-programme responses from 5,361 adult family members were also evaluated. Results: Female students were more likely to show better BP knowledge and beliefs. As compared to Chinese students, Malay students had lower levels of BP knowledge and attitudes, while Indian students possessed stronger attitudes. Programme efficacy among students in the most affordable housing was the least favourable. In the adult family member sample, Malay and Indian adults had higher self-confidence and intention to measure their BP in the future than the Chinese. Adult respondents in the most affordable housing possessed the least favourable beliefs towards BP measurement. Older adults, men, Malays and residents in affordable housing types had higher odds of being found with hypertension when tested at home. Conclusion: Despite the same hypertension education programme being implemented, disparities in programme impact were apparent in both student and adult sample across race, housing type and, to a lesser extent, gender. Future interventions should consider these disparities when developing health education programmes.

Abstract:

The increasing number of female adult learners required a need for a deeper and more additional background related consideration on the effects contributing toward educational achievement for the learners who return to study. The aim of this study is to define the role of Transformative Interventions in developing Conducive Learning Environment for female adult learners in higher education with the consideration on hindrances faced, as they re-engage and continuing their post-compulsory educational passage. Qualitative approach with explanatory case study design has been employed to conduct this study. Semi-structured open-ended interviews conducted for 16 purposefully selected female participants. Two private and two public universities were selected from which adult working students and experienced of having transformative learning interventions during their course. Moreover, the experiences and responses highlighted the needs, hindrances and expectations of the adult students in higher education. They identified reflective activities including article review and reflective writing, faculty support, seminars, educational conferences, presentations, projects on real life issues, discussion and introducing demanding courses are the important transformative learning interventions for developing Conducive environment for adults. The major factor responsible for developing Conducive environment was experiences and exposure by the adult learner and providing opportunities through the Andragogy and expertise. Notes on interviews and reflection journals were utilized to triangulate data to support these methods. Data analysis and results of the study indicated that participants experienced transformative learning interventions through both educational and non-educational related activities held in university by Higher Education.

Abstract:

Background: Many factors are thought to potentially trigger migraines, among which sleep disturbances are one of the most frequently reported. Both sleep disorders and migraines affect more women than men. This study aims to analyze sleep alterations in young adult women with migraines and how they are related to the presence, frequency, intensity, and disability of migraines in this population. Methods: Fifty-one female university students with physician-diagnosed migraines and 55 healthy female university students completed surveys assessing demographic information and frequency, intensity, and disability of migraines and sleep quality variables. Results: No differences in sleep quality were found between migraine subjects and healthy women (p = 0.815), but women with migraines presented higher daytime somnolence (p = 0.010), greater sleep disruptions (p = 0.002), and decreased sleep adequacy (p = 0.019). The presence of a migraine was significantly related to daytime somnolence (p = 0.003) and sleep disruptions (p = 0.021). Migraine-related disability was associated with sleep disruptions (p = 0.002), snoring (p = 0.016), and a decreased quantity of sleep (p = 0.040). Migraine frequency was related to sleep disturbance (p = 0.003) and snoring (p < 0.001). The intensity of migraines was associated with sleep disruptions (p = 0.004). Conclusions: Our results suggest a relationship between migraines and sleep alterations.

Abstract:

This research explores who participates in higher education (HE) in general and in the College of Basic Education (CBE) in particular from adult female learners’ groups. This entails identifying the specific characteristics of these groups and understanding their learning experiences and obstacles they need to overcome. The study begins with an overview of the changing HE system in Kuwait followed by a review of relevant literature. This involves constructing a theoretical framework based upon attributes of adult education and setting out the critical feminist perspective at the heart of this study. The research follows both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Research data was collected from female adult learners at CBE by using questionnaire and focus groups to elicit rich qualitative data as well as quantitative representative data. The study concludes with a discussion of policy and practice implications and areas for future research on adult learning and HE reforms in general. Outcomes of this research provide valuable lessons for policymakers as well as recommendations which seek to nourish an environment based on genuine equality of opportunity for all and inspiration for future generations of Kuwaiti women.

Abstract:

The school-to-prison pipeline represents an educational environment that allows public schools to push many at-risk children out of school and into the juvenile justice or the adult criminal justice system. Consequently, this study explores the disproportionate rates of discipline when comparing Black and White female students in the national public-school system. Specifically, this research explored discipline outcomes for Black and White female students in kindergarten through 12th grade in five of the best academically performing states in the United States compared with five of the worse academically ranked states in the United States. Using the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) of 2013–2014 data, the exploration found Black female students were disproportionately suspended compared with White female students in both the high and low academically performing states. Similarly, Black female students experienced disproportionality rates (overrepresented) compared with White female students for school-related arrests. Overall, the disproportionality rates for Black female students suspended and arrested compared with White female students were higher in the academically higher ranked states.

Abstract:

Research within the field of intergenerational touch has shown that there is a tension between the need to use physical contact as an obvious pedagogical tool, and the no-touch discourse. Within this tension physical contact between physical education teachers and students has also been shown to be a gender/ed issue with heteronormative points of departure. The aim of this study is to investigate how young adult female students’ talk about physical contact between teachers and students in physical education is related to heteronormativity. The study takes its starting point in Foucault’s work on discourses and Butler’s performative perspective. Thirteen female students in upper secondary school were interviewed in four focus groups using photo elicitation. In the findings, three performatives are identified that show how the students’ talk about physical contact between teacher and student in physical education is related to heteronormativity. The three performatives are: (a) gendering with age; (b) being wary of men; and (c) feeling sympathy for men. The paper discusses the effects the heteronormative discourse has on young adult female students and male teachers in relation to physical contact in physical education.

Abstract:

Adult learners and female students report higher levels of mathematics anxiety than their peers, suggesting that female adult learners may be particularly vulnerable. This study used Bandura’s triarchic reciprocal causality model as a foundation and interviewed five highly mathematics anxious female adult learners to understand their perceptions of the causes of their mathematics anxiety. Thematic interpretation revealed five themes from the interviews; time since last educational experience emerged as the strongest theme, with other personal and environmental factors also emerging. The findings support a social cognitive perspective of mathematics anxiety. Suggestions for pedagogical techniques with adult learners are included.

Abstract:

The objective of the present study was to compare the percentage of body fat (%BF), BMI, and central fat distribution anthropometric measures as indices of obesity and to assess the respective associations with cardiovascular risk factors in young female students. Subjects were 220 healthy Greek female students. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to estimate %BF, anthropometric measurements were obtained and blood samples were analysed for CVD risk factors. Results showed that 48·6 % of students had increased adiposity, while a considerable proportion was characterised by central fat distribution irrespective of the anthropometric index used. The proportion of subjects with at least one metabolic risk factor present was 60·4 %. Although %BF was not associated with any of the CVD risk factors, waist circumference, waist:hip ratio and waist:height ratio were all associated with CVD risk factors. Higher levels of these anthropometric variables demonstrated higher prevalence of CVD risk factors. The lack of association between %BF and CVD risk factors could be attributed to the fact that females with undesirable adiposity had a tendency for the gynaecoid type of obesity. In contrast, the present results suggest that central body fat distribution in young women may reflect increased risk due to high visceral and particularly intra-abdominal fat levels. Recent epidemiological data from Greece show a high prevalence of overweight and obesity in young adults. Therefore, assessing the risk for the presence of CVD risk factors is of particular importance. Central obesity anthropometric indices seem to be valuable screening tools for young women.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to detect gender bias in education expenditure on “students”, who are children and young adults, in a household in the rural and the urban sectors of West Bengal. Outlay equivalent ratios have been calculated using the Engel curve approach, where the budget share function is log quadratic in income, to identify items relating exclusively to education of school/college going students. Heckman’s (1979) two-step procedure is used for estimation to address selection bias The 68th round (July 2011 to June 2012) household level consumption expenditure survey data of the National Sample Survey Organisation have been used for the analysis. Design/methodology/approach Engel curve approach is used to capture parental preference for student’s welfare and to find the existence of male student favouritism in the field of education. In case of exclusive adult goods, the addition of a student will reduce the resource allocated for adult goods leading to negative income effect. If a household favours males over females, then that household is likely to sacrifice more for a male student’s education than that for a female student. To address selection bias, Heckman’s two-step procedure has been used. Findings The authors find that not all education items relate exclusively to students of a household. Expenditure on books is not exclusively for students, whereas other educational items, such as stationary and photocopy charges, tuition fees and private coaching fees, are found to be students’ items only. Transport cost is found to be an adult good. Further, we find evidence of pro male bias in expenditure on educational items, and the extent of gender bias is more in the urban sectors compared to the rural sectors in West Bengal. Originality/value The objective of this paper is to identify the educational items exclusively for “students” and to test the difference in the allocation of resources in education, with respect to these items, between a male student and a female student for both sectors in West Bengal, using the outlay equivalent ratios.

Abstract:

Over weight and obesity are recognized as recent threat which affecting both developing and developed countries. Obesity and its associated morbidities are leading cause of most noncommunicable diseases. Few recent studies have indicated the presence of increasing in over weight and obesity among children and adolescent but there is no study among adult groups. This cross sectional study was done to assess the prevalence of overweight, obesity and metabolic variables with their relation among medical students. Our result reveals that 8.6% & 1.9% male and 15% & 3.2% female are suffering from overweight and obesity (based on BMI) respectively. More females (31.3% and 65.2%) are centrally obese than males (3.5% and 34.8%) (According to Waist Hip ratio and Waist Height ratio respectively). But according to Waist circumference more males (30.7%) are obese than females (24%). There is also significant difference of male and female BP. DBP & SBP of male (79.22mmHg & 118.9 mmHg) have high normal level than female (72.71mmHg & 108.67mmHg) (P<0.001). There is no significant difference of glycaemic status and lipid profile with central obesity. Although male students have high upper level of blood pressure, female students are more obese than males (both according to BMI and central obesity). High blood pressure and obesity both acts as risk factors for the development of non communicable disease. Student's awareness therefore should be increased to reduce central obesity & BP within normal range.

Abstract The article tackles the issue of defining the concept of “adult-child communication” from the point of view of female students of pedagogy, future teachers and educators. The introduction explains the issue of symbolic representation of real and imagined objects, events, and situations by means of concepts and their definitions. The next part of the article describes the results of a study carried out in the group of 255 female students, who were asked to define the concept of “adult-child communication”. The study yielded a description of the concepts used to describe the defined concept and the signs of evaluation contained in the definitions. The final part of the article identifies and outlines four categories of the “adult-child communication” concept and discusses three types of definitions created by the respondents. The following types were distinguished: definitions similar to professional ones in terms of content and form, common definitions regarding the child-adult relationship with elements of professional vocabulary, common definitions and puerile definitions.

Despite increased attention to college student victimization, gaps remain. In particular, relatively little is known about violence against males and females outside sexual and intimate partner violence. This study uses data from the National Crime Victimization Survey to compare male and female students’ violent victimization overall as well as relational and sexual violence. Findings reveal gendered differences and similarities. Results have implications for policies to prevent violence and support victims. Implications for victim services are particularly relevant given the critical developmental period for college students learning coping skills that shape their adult lives and addressing harms resulting from violent victimization.

Abstract:

Background: Body image issues can be a problem for undergraduate female college students. It happened because women pay more attention to their physical appearance than men. In addition, the ages of undergraduate female college students are generally in the young adult age range, where young adult women are found to often experience problems related to body image. Furthermore, some characteristics of campus life may cause female students to be more susceptible to body image concerns. This study aimed to describe the body image in preclinical female students of the Faculty of Medicine, Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta. Methodology: This study is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach that applied to preclinical female students of the Faculty of Medicine, Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta, which was selected using the cluster random sampling method. Data were collected by looking at respondents' answers to The Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2) questionnaire to assess the body. Results: In this study, 120 respondents were collected from the class of 2018, 2019, and 2020 with the age range of 18-22 years. Based on the results of this study, it is known that the majority of research respondents have a negative body image (58.33%). Conclusion: The majority of research respondents have a negative body image (58.33%).

Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to study personal attributional style and its interconnection with treatment of migrants and host culture acculturation strategies of young adult males and females (high school students). Respondents were young adults from School № 179 of Moscow (50 total, from 15 to 17 years old (mean 15.8), 19 female, 31 male). In this research were used: Success and failures attributional style questionnaire (T.O. Gordeeva, O.V. Krylova), host culture acculturation expectation scales (J. Berry), Migrantophobia measurement scale (N.M. Lebedeva), Feelings about migrants measurement scale (I.M. Kuznetsov), Kognitive reflection test (Shane Frederick). According to findings, personal attributional style has no correlation with feelings about migrants, migrantophobia or results of kognitive reflection test. Correlation was found between host culture acculturation strategies expectation and some attributional style components, inclunding Control subscale (p ≤ 0,05). Also interconnection was found between Kognitive reflection test results and various subscales of attributional style questionnaire (p≤0,01).

Abstract:

AbstractThe aim of the present study was to explore the potential relationship between affect related to female perception of male preference for the female thin ideal (“Sensitivity to Male Preference”) and female body image and self-esteem. Ninety-three, heterosexual, female undergraduate students (M = 19.78, SD = 2.66) completed a series of questionnaires which tapped Body Image Dissatisfaction, Body Image Discrepancy, Appearance Schema and Self-Worth. The “Female Perception of Male Preference Questionnaire” (devised specifically for the purpose of the present study) assessed Sensitivity to Male Preference. Results indicated that females who expressed greater negative affect in relation to their perception of male preference for the female thin ideal also showed higher levels of body image dissatisfaction, appearance schema, discrepancy (between their perceived current and ideal figures), and lower levels of self-worth. Findings suggest that female perception of male preference may be an important variable when considering factors that influence female body image and self-esteem, and thus warrant further attention in research.

This study examined the structural relationship between age, grit (i.e., perseverance of effort and consistency of interest), conscientiousness, self-control, and school success of female students at an Open University in Korea. We analyzed 509 students’ responses, and it turned out that the level of perseverance of effort was negatively correlated with academic maladjustment. Also, perseverance of effort had a positive indirect effect on grade point average scores. Conscientiousness and self-control were found to be positively correlated with grit factors and they had negative effects on academic maladjustment through perseverance of effort. Age had both direct and indirect effects on grit and academic success of the students.

Abstract:

Abstract Objectives •Discuss the differences in breastfeeding knowledge and attitude by different demographics among a sample of adult, childless, college-age females. •Discuss the characteristics of the study sample that were found to have the highest breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes, and intention. •List 3 different suggested breastfeeding knowledge messages that could be used to educate adult, childless, college-age females. Methods A convenience sample of childless, adult, female students (n = 1039), 18 to 22 years old, were recruited to complete a 58-item web-based survey during the 2019–2020 school year. The questionnaire items assessed breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes, future breastfeeding intention, and general demographics. Results The mean breastfeeding knowledge and attitude scores were 13.16 (±2.48) and 64.19 (±7.69) respectively, both indications of relatively high breastfeeding knowledge and positive attitudes towards breastfeeding. Over 90% of the sample had intentions to breastfeed potential future children. Higher breastfeeding knowledge and more positive attitudes were found among those with higher intentions to breastfeed their babies in the future. Conclusions This sample of adult, college-age, childless females has the potential to give birth and breastfeed infants in the future. Similar populations may be responsible for changes in breastfeeding rates in the US. Nutrition education and behavioral health professionals who work with college-age individuals may want to focus pre-conception educational initiatives on increasing and maintaining breastfeeding knowledge and positive breastfeeding attitudes while encouraging breastfeeding initiation in the future.

Abstract:

The work of Broverman, Braverman, Clarkson, Rosenkrantz, & Vogel (1970) on gender and judgments of mental health was revisited with 75 student nurses. Health-illness differences were explored in addition to male-female-adult differences. The average age of students was 20.9 years, and 89% were female. The results were different from those of Broverman and colleagues. Images of the healthy male, female, and generic adult were similar. Differences perceived overall between health and illness were more substantial than gender differences. Gender differences which did occur reflected gender stereotypes, but were unflattering to masculinity. The image of the healthy generic adult had more in common with healthy femaleness than with healthy maleness. Possible explanations for the findings are presented.

Abstract:

1. Twenty apparently healthy and normal Nigerian female students, resident at the University of Ibadan campus, were studied for seven consecutive days to assess their food energy intake and energy expenditure during sedentary and physical activities.2. The mean age (years) of the group was 20.05 (SD 3.44, range 16–29), mean height (m) 1.62 (SD 0.07, range 1.47–1.74) and body-weight (kg) 51.28 (SD 3.21, range 46–58).3. The food intake of each subject was obtained by direct weighing, and the energy value determined using a ballistic bomb calorimeter. Daily activities were recorded and the energy cost of representative activities was determined by indirect calorimetry.4. Activities mainly involved sitting, mean (min/d) 354 (SD 84, range 253–475). Personal domestic activities took a mean of 162 (SD 73) min/d. Sleeping took a mean of 451 (SD 62) min/d.5. The mean energy intake of the group was 8480 (SD 1316) kJ/d or 167 (SD 30.6) kJ/kg body-weight per d. This value is lower than that recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization (FAO/WHO) (1973) as the energy requirement for adult women engaged in light activities (9205 kJ/d), but it is higher than the FAO/WHO/United Nations University (UNU) (1985) recommended value of 8326 kJ (1990 kcal)/d for a housewife in an affluent society. It is lower than the recommended intake of 9350 kJ/d for rural women in developing countries (FAO/WHO/UNU, 1985).6. The mean energy expenditure (kJ/d) of the female subjects was 6865 (SD 214, range 6519–7222). Mean energy expenditure was lower than mean energy intake.7. The energy intake and expenditure values indicated that the subjects participating in the present study were not physically very active. It is suggested, for health reasons, that they might undertake more physical activity.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Introduction The soft tissue paradigm is placing greater emphasis on the importance of the soft tissue profile to orthodontic treatment planning. The purpose of this study was to determine the lip dimensions of a Nigerian adult population; compare the male and female values and to compare the values obtained for Nigerians with those reported for other population. Methodology Lateral cephalometric radiographs of 100 students (44 males and 56 females) of the College of Medicine, University of Lagos, aged 18 to 25 years were taken. Selected subjects were of Nigerian ancestry with normal occlusion and a harmonious facial appearance. The radiographs were manually traced and the upper and lower lip length and thickness of each subject was measured. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS, while the male and female values were compared using student's t-tests. Results Mean values for the lip dimensions were computed for the entire sample. Marked sexual dimorphism was observed with the males having thicker and longer upper and lower lips than the females. The Nigerian sample also had a longer upper lip and a thicker and shorter lower lip than that reported for Caucasians. However, both population had a similar upper lip thickness. Conclusion Cephalometric norms were developed for the lip dimensions of a Nigerian population. Marked sexual dimorphism was observed in the Nigerian population studied with the males having longer and thicker lips than the females. The lip dimensions of the Nigerian population studied differed from that reported for Caucasians and other racial groups. Clinical significance The lip dimensions established in this study would aid in orthodontic and orthognathic surgery treatment planning for Nigerians. Furthermore, due to the marked sexual dimorphism observed in the Nigerian population studied, gender specific and not generalized norms should be used.

Abstract:

Background: It has been recognized that body fatness and mental disorders have association, however very limited evidence have proved that physical fitness and mental health have association. Relationship between physical fitness and mental health in young adults has not been fully proved. The purpose of the study was to investigate the association between physical fitness, body fatness, and mental health in young adults.Methods: A total of 149 (97 males and 52 females) college students were included. Physical fitness (sit-ups, push-ups, 1 mile run/walk), and body mass index (BMI) was measured, and psychological questionnaires including life satisfaction, self-efficacy, the beck depression inventory (BDI), and adult self report (ASR) were administered. The levels of physical fitness and BMI were classified into tertile groups and were analyzed.Results: Female participants with the highest tertile of BMI had highest ASR score (p<0.05). Participants with highest level of physical fitness showed higher level of self-efficacy in both males and females (p<0.05). In both male and female, physical fitness was a significant predictor for self-efficacy (Male: β=0.35, p<0.05, Female: β =0.31, p<0.05).Conclusions: In conclusion, physical fitness and body fatness were associated with mental health. Especially, physical fitness, independent of BMI, was proved as significant indicator for mental health in young adults.

Abstract:

The present research explored L2 motivation, demographic variables and Chinese proficiency among adult learners of Chinese as a second language. A total of 83 international students studying in a Chinese university in Beijing answered the 54-item L2MSS questionnaire and a Demographic Questionnaire. Analyses of the data revealed the following findings: a) the L2MSS scales were significantly highly related to one another and highly reliable, b) ideal L2 self was significantly correlated with gender and the number of foreign languages learned (NFLL); integrativeness was significantly positively related to NFLL, c) the whole sample, as well as male and female participants, scored high on all L2MSS scales and had (great) motivation to study Chinese, d) female respondents held significantly more favorable perceptions of their ideal selves than their male peers, and e) L2SSM had no predictive effect or interactive effect with demographic variables on the students’ Chinese proficiency. Nevertheless, length of stay in China and gender proved to be powerful positive predictors for the latter. Evidently, the L2MSS scales are important dimensions of L2 motivation and closely related to second/foreign language learning. Understandably, it is necessary to continuously explore, understand and enhance students’ L2 motivation.

This paper explores error treatment practices in teaching English to Saudi adult English Language learners. In this genderbased qualitative study, thirty-six male and twenty-four female teachers were interviewed, using Hendrickson's (1978) theoretical framework to analyze learners' error treatment practices by EFL teachers. No significant difference in the male and female teachers was found in their perception of the students' errors, reasons and ways to correct students' errors and their perceptions of the backwash effect of the error correction. However, female teachers find a lack of student motivation as a major cause of errors. The study has also explored some unreflective and unprofessional error treatment practices that urge the need for regular training for the teachers to make them aware of the psychological dimensions of error treatment practices. The study recommends the transformation of the traditional style of teaching into coaching to give professional, reflective, and effective treatment to adult EFL/ESL learners' errors.

Abstract:

Considering the potential for stereotypes to shape professional expectations, the four researchers in this study investigated photographic representation of adult men and women in implied positions of authority in 50 years (1962–2011) of issues of Music Educators Journal ( MEJ). Data included every photograph ( N = 7,288) of adults conducting, teaching or presenting, or granted the authority of having their picture labeled with their name (named persons), and were analyzed by year over the 50-year period. Results showed that females composed 28% of these photographs, with the largest representation of females being found in the teaching/presenting category (56%) and markedly smaller representations of females found in the conducting (21%) and named persons (20%) categories. Fluctuations in certain categories across the five decades suggest that while representation of males and females in MEJ has changed in 50 years, inequity persists. Implications include a call for greater attention and effort toward equitable representation in music education media for publishers, authors, and other contributors in addition to increased sensitivity to the representations of male and female stereotypes and professional expectations encountered by music educators and students.

We found significant ethnic difference when Malay and Chinese were placed in-groups, Chinese showed a stronger pro-risk position than Malay. While no significant difference was found between Indian and Chinese. However, overall there was a significant gender difference in investment risk taking behavior. Females turned out in a stronger pro-risk position than males. In terms of choosing investment alternatives, there was a significant difference between age groups, such that younger adults were relatively more risk taker than older adults.

Abstract:

In this study, we aimed to analyse the awareness and attitudes of dental students (DS) toward older adults (OAs) in Indonesia. Compromised oral health (OH) among OAs is a significant public health problem that is a global health burden. Furthermore, appropriate education can provide DS with information about strategic and efficient treatments for OAs. An online invitation was provided to every dental student in Indonesia in the third to sixth year of study to answer a web-based questionnaire as a part of a survey on awareness and attitudes (14 questions) towards OAs. From 1288 valid forms submitted, it was evident that most students (87%) expressed a positive attitude toward OAs. Female students showed a more positive attitude compared to males, with an odds ratio of 1.539 (p = 0.036), and students who had a connection to an older adult demonstrated a more positive attitude than those who did not (OR = 2.076; p < 0.001). The majority of the DS (98%) were conscious of the importance of geriatrics in dentistry, with female students showing more awareness than their male counterparts (OR = 2.553; p = 0.033). Positive awareness and attitudes must be accompanied by knowledge so that DS can offer appropriate and effective oral care to geriatric patients.

Abstract:

Background: The menu at Islamic boarding school often not varied, as a consequence it can increase food waste and reduce the level of nutritional adequacy in female students. A further impact, female students may become undernutrition and at risk of experiencing health problems such as anemia which has long-lasting effects on adult health. Objective:This study was aimed to describe menu variations, food waste, and the level of nutritional adequacy of female students at the HM Lirboyo Islamic Boarding School, Kediri Regency. Design: This cross-sectional study, involved 11 female students. Respondents assessed menu variations using Likert scale from not at all varied to very varied. Food waste was assessed using the Visual Comstock form, and the level of nutritional adequacy was assessed using food recall 3x24h compared to nutritional needs. Results: The menu was assessed by respondents as varied (73%) and very varied (27%), and for food waste, majority of students (91%) left little food. However, 100% students have very less energy and nutrients sufficiency. Conclusion: Even though there was little food left, the level of energy and nutrient sufficiency was still deficit. This showed the lack of availability of food served by Islamic boarding school.

Abstract:

The present paper aims at determining the contribution of the Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT) and self-esteem to predicting Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) among female university students in Saudi Arabia. It examines the differences in the research variables according to academic achievement. It also identifies the correlations of these variables. The authors applied the research instruments, i.e., the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1), Adult Concentration Inventory (ACI), and Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) to a sample of 203 female university students aged 19-31 years (M = 23.29 years; SD= 3.74 years). The results showed no differences in the mean scores of ASRS, ACI, and negative self-esteem in the achievement levels among university students. In contrast, there was a positive direct relationship between ADHD, SCT, and negative self-esteem. SCT contributed significantly (by 40%), whereas self-esteem contributed by 6% in predicting ADHD among university students. The study highlighted the contribution of both negative self-esteem and SCT to predicting ADHD among Saudi university students to understand the nature of the disorder and its predictors. The findings of this study can be utilized to develop preventive programs for enhancing self-esteem and increasing attention among university students.

Abstract:

Objectives: The sedentary lifestyle, physical inactivity, and unhealthy diet of Malaysian female have become important contributing factors to the rise of obesity. Studies on pulmonary function in relation to obesity are very few in Malaysia. Therefore, the study was aimed to evaluate the effect of obesity on pulmonary functions among young adult healthy female students of Shah Alam, Malaysia.Methods: A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted in a total of 100 (50 obese and 50 non-obese) adult non-smoker healthy female students aged 18–25 years. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1), FEV1 as a percentage of FVC (FEV1/FVC%), maximum midexpiratory flow rate (FEF 25–75%), and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) were measured using a computerized spirometer. Body weight, height, waist circumference (WC), and hip circumference (HC) were measured.Results: The mean FVC (L), FEV1 (L), FEV1/FVC ratio, FEF 25–75% (L/s), and PEFR (L/s) of obese group were marginally lower than non-obese control group, but the differences were not statistically significant. WC and waist–hip ratio exhibited significant (p<0.05) inverse correlation with all pulmonary function measurements except FEV1/FVC%. However, body mass index had no significant correlation with any spirometric variables in studied obese females.Conclusion: There was no significant effect of obesity on pulmonary functions in the studied Malaysian females. However, abdominal obesity had more impact on the impairment of pulmonary functions than overall relative obesity.

Abstract:

Objectives. Doctors’ empathy towards their patients is considered important for treatment outcome. However, during medical school there might be a decline in empathy called “hardening of the heart.” This study evaluated the cognitive and emotional empathy in medical students and investigated the influence of a preference for a specialty and students attachment styles. Methods. 126 first-year medical students were included and completed the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test revised version (RME-R), the Balanced Emotional Empathy Scale (BEES), and the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised Adult Attachment Questionnaire (ECR-R). Results. Students identified of 36 photographs in the RME-R test correctly (norm: 26). The female students’ mean BEES total score was and the male students’ ; . The female students’ mean BEES score was significantly () below the female norm of 60. Students who preferred a specialty with continuity of patient care scored significantly higher in the BEES (). A more avoidant attachment style was associated with a lower BEES score (). Conclusion. The students showed low emotional and cognitive empathy scores and an avoidant attachment style. This supports the inclusion of specific training in cognitive and emotional empathy in medical education.
