Drug Abuse among University and Medical College Students regarding Motivations and First Encounters: A Qualitative Study | Chapter 5 | Medical Science: Updates and Prospects Vol. 6

 

Background: The transition to higher education represents a critical period of vulnerability, where academic rigour and social shifts often precipitate maladaptive coping mechanisms, including substance use. Within the competitive landscape of tertiary education, students face unique stressors that may normalise self-medication and drug initiation.

 

Objective: To investigate the qualitative experiences, social influences, and academic pressures that contribute to the initiation and continuation of drug use among this population.

 

Methodology: A qualitative study was conducted at the Department of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, Shaheed Monsur Ali Medical College, from January to July 2024. Using purposive sampling, ten students who self-reported current drug use were recruited from the Shahbag area. Data were analysed using thematic analysis to identify core drivers of substance initiation and usage patterns.

 

Results: Thematic analysis revealed that drug use was primarily driven by the need for coping mechanisms against chronic academic stress and anxiety. Social circles played a pivotal role in the normalisation of substances, with first encounters often triggered by peer pressure and curiosity. Furthermore, many students reported using substances for perceived cognitive enhancement, such as improved focus for long study hours, despite acknowledging the long-term negative health and social consequences. These findings suggest that the university environment and social networks act as both a gateway and a sustaining factor for drug abuse.

 

Conclusion: Drug initiation in this population is deeply tied to social environments and a lack of healthy coping strategies for academic rigour. Prevention programs should move beyond basic awareness and focus on robust mental health support, stress management workshops, and debunking myths regarding cognitive enhancers.

Challenges Faced by Teachers and Students at Apayao State College When Using Modular Distance Learning Model: Basis for Intervention | Chapter 1 | Research Perspectives of Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol. 4

The main objective of this study is to identify the problems encountered by the teachers and students in the implementation of modular distance learning modality in the BEEd Department of Apayao State College – Luna Campus, Philippines. Distance learning became the immediate response of academic institutions to sustain the learning continuity of the students. This learning delivery modality has different types that include online distance learning, TV or radio-based instruction, and modular distance learning. The study used a descriptive phenomenological approach to identify the problems encountered by teachers and students in implementing modular distance learning, as well as the possible solutions to the identified problems. The study was conducted among the teachers and students of the Bachelor of Elementary Education Department (BEEd) of Apayao State College – Luna Campus in the Philippines. Four (4) BEEd program mainstay teachers and ten (10) BEEd students were approached to request their voluntary involvement as key participants in the study. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach to find any patterns in the participants’ responses by transcribing, organizing, and coding. Findings revealed four (4) themes of problems related to the preparation of printed learning materials; management in the distribution of printed learning materials; retrieval of students’ activities and outputs; and checking of students’ activities and outputs identified by teachers. Using digital technology to learn the lessons, such as recorded instructional videos and tutorial sites or links, may be beneficial. The quantity and level of difficulty of the activities to be given can be determined by considering the students' competency and ability to complete the tasks. Students also identified two (2) themes of problems they had in using modular distance learning that are related to the submission of their activities and outputs, as well as their capability to learn independently. School administrators can use the findings of this study to develop interventions, programs, and activities to address issues in the implementation of the modular distance learning modality. Schools may conduct relevant training, seminars, and workshops for teachers and students to upgrade their knowledge, skills, and competence in implementing modular distance learning modalities.

Prevalence of Intermittent Allergic Rhinitis to Pollen among Students of the Polydisciplinary Faculty of Beni Mellal, Morocco| Chapter 7 | An Overview of Disease and Health Research Vol. 3

Background: The frequency of respiratory allergy, including asthma and allergic rhinitis due to pollen, is increasing in the young and urban dwellers in developed countries. Allergic rhinitis negatively affects academic performance and quality of life. A better understanding of the prevalence and characteristics of allergy can help guide to strategy of management against the development of allergic rhinitis, asthma and anaphylaxis within and outside academic institutions in order to reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality.

 

Objective: This study was carried out to characterise pollen allergy and its relation with the environment at a university institution in order to propose a strategy of management against this disease.

 

Methods: The study was conducted at the Polydiscipline Faculty of Beni Mellal. For this study, 529 students (female 316 and male 213) were selected randomly from a set of about 7000 students from the institution. To support the descriptive analysis, a survey was administered to collect relevant data.

 

Results: The percentage of students allergic to pollen surveyed in the FPBM was 39%. This percentage was within the confidence interval of all students in the allergic FPBM [35%; 44%], estimated 5% error risk. The results proved that the selected sample was representative. The most common symptoms of pollen allergy among the students were the nasal symptoms (sneezing and nasal itching). These symptoms characterise allergic rhinitis. This study also revealed that the olive tree was the main allergen causing pollen allergy in the region. Moreover, most students experienced allergic reactions during the spring season; this could be explained by the pollination of the olive tree in this period. The majority of surveyed students were allergic to one or two types of plants, and the cross-reactivity between pollen and food was the most dominant.

 

Conclusion: This study is particularly significant, as no prior studies have documented a high prevalence of pollen allergy in the Beni Mellal-Khenifra region. The olive tree was the main allergen; this can be explained by the richness of the region of Beni-Mellal-Khénifra with this plant. These results are unexpected; normally, these youngsters must present a resistance to the pollen present in the region because they are native and have an adaptation to the environment. However, nearly a quarter of the young people surveyed in the area present an allergy. These findings highlight the need for further investigation into environmental factors and their role in the growing prevalence of pollen allergies.

Effectiveness of Snowball Technique as a Teaching and Learning Method | Chapter 5 | An Overview of Literature, Language and Education Research Vol. 6

Background: The study is focused on applying the snowball throwing technique in teaching, and learning and figuring out whether it can improve students' learning, and comprehension skills among undergraduate medical students. Small-group instruction is used to get around these problems. The snowball technique is one such approach used in small-group instruction. The snowball technique is a more recent and inventive approach that is applied in corporate and educational settings. Worldwide, there is a dearth of literature on this technique. This method can be experimented with by medical students in teaching their subjects.

 

Aim: The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the snowball technique as a teaching and learning method.

 

Materials and Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study conducted in the Department of Pathology, ASRAMS, on phase II MBBS pathology students over a period of four months from September to December 2023. Around one hundred and fifty students were included in the study. A few topics were selected and discussed as routine in small-group teaching. Pre and post-tests were conducted and scores were taken. The same topics in other small groups (around 30 members each) were taken using the snowball technique. Pre and post-tests were conducted and scores were taken and ranks were given. A comparison of scores (ranks) obtained in routine small group teaching and those using snowball techniques was done.

 

Results: A comparison of pretest and posttest ranks in snowball technique and routine small group discussions were done. There were significant numbers of positive posttest ranks in snowball technique method. Snowballing allows time to become invested in the work as the stakes get higher. The class constructs the knowledge by working through a challenging topic in the subject, rather than having the teacher explain it in a way that may not suit all learning styles.

 

Conclusions: The snowball technique proved to be an effective way of teaching students and helped in a better understanding of the subject. This good impact was reflected in their summative examinations.

Transforming the Teaching and Learning Practice in South Africa by Integrating Bapedi Spiritual Folk Songs (Choruses) into Curriculum | Chapter 11 | Current Progress in Arts and Social Studies Research Vol. 6

This book chapter considers the recontextualization of traditional Bapedi religious songs in formal South African curricula. The Bapedi is an ethnic group in South Africa whose traditional religious music is not well-documented. This study collected and analyzed thirty-one traditional Bapedi spiritual folk songs (choruses) from eleven elderly Bapedi women in Greater Sekhukhune District Municipality, Limpopo Province, South Africa and discussed the transformation of teaching and learning practice. The main aim of this study was to analyze these songs using religious, musicological and contextual perspectives. In this context, two spiritual folk songs (choruses) were selected. Eight Sepedi-speaking children from a school choir at Baxoxele Primary School in Soshanguve were observed while learning these two spiritual folk songs (choruses). It has emerged from this study that repetition was used as a powerful, rhetorical and expressive device skilfully employed to express and internalize the faith and to impart dominant emotions. Informal discussions with teachers indicated that the children improved in their concentration and attitude toward schoolwork. During interviews and observations, it was also established that learning these two choruses also unlocked some creative talent and improved their social skills. Other benefits included improved social skills. The results have shown that the joyous nature, rhythmic foundation, harmonic simplicity and combination of intellect and emotion as well as the repetitiveness and briefness of these songs appealed to both children and adults. It was concluded that for the preservation of traditional Bapedi religious music and culture, there is an urgent need for the collection and documentation of traditional Bapedi religious songs. In recognizing their identity, such songs could contribute to the attitudes and cultural values of Sepedi-speaking children. For the preservation of African cultural heritage and identity, similar projects are suggested for songs of the other ten language groups in South Africa.

Enhancing Breast Cancer Awareness and Self-Examination Skills among Young Women: Impact of Educational Workshops | Chapter 8 | Achievements and Challenges of Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 6

Background: The most prevalent cancer in the world is breast cancer, a form of cancer in women; its incidence is rising in a number of nations. Breast self-examination is a basic and straightforward method for women to discover breast changes. Early detection of this malignant disease whether by monthly self-examination, annual mammography or BRCA testing, has a crucial role in treatment effectiveness which is considered typically a multimodal approach.

Objective: The purpose of this research is to identify the effects of breast cancer awareness workshops on female students. We evaluated the participants' breast cancer knowledge and breast self-examination skills prior to and following the workshop using a set of questionnaires developed for the study.

Methodology: We conducted a quasi-experimental study. We assessed the participants' understanding of breast cancer and their proficiency in performing breast self-examinations (BSE) prior to and following the workshop using a collection of surveys specifically designed for the study.

Results: This study of 200 female medical students found mixed initial awareness of breast cancer symptoms and risk factors, with significant improvements post-workshop. Knowledge of symptoms like lumps and risk factors such as age, obesity, and high-fat diets increased notably. Attitudes toward breast self-examination also improved after educational intervention.

Conclusion: The implementation of public awareness strategies is crucial to overcoming the growing burden of breast cancer. Based on the research's results, we believe that private and public schools in Al-Madina should provide regular workshops in regard to breast self-examination and breast cancer for female students for the purpose of expanding their understanding, confidence, and ability to teach other females about early diagnosis of breast cancer.

3D Modeling in Elementary Schools and its Use in Testing Creativity | Book Publisher International

Creative thinking is the key to adapting new technologies to serve human needs. Creative thinking is essential in education because it prepares students for a rapidly changing world full of complex problems and new challenges. It develops the ability to think critically, seek innovative solutions and adapt to change. It is very important for education today that modern technologies are used in a creative way.

The present publication addresses the issue of implementing 3D modelling into primary school teaching. First, the reader is introduced to the basic concepts, then to the 3D modelling technologies of SketchUp. Based on the needs of contemporary education, a brief methodology for teaching 3D modelling is presented, on which pilot and primary research is then based. Due to the lack of a standardized tool for evaluating 3D models, a modification of the Urban Figural Test of Creative Thinking, which was originally designed to evaluate paper-based drawings, was undertaken. The reader will also find the results of verifying this modified creative thinking test in practice in the publication.

In a school setting, creative thinking increases student motivation and engagement by allowing them to actively participate in the learning process, which is why it is so important.

Reevaluating High-p Request Sequences: Uncovering the Complexities of a Low-Intensity Intervention for Challenging Behaviors | Chapter 4 | An Overview of Literature, Language and Education Research Vol. 10

There has been an evolving and growing popularity of schools adopting multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS). Recent amendments to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESSA) and reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) place emphasis on these approaches such as Response to Intervention (RtI) for academics and Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) to address students’ challenging behaviors. High-probability (high-p) request sequences, grounded in the principle of behavioral momentum, are an effective intervention for enhancing compliance and task completion among students who display challenging behaviors. Though widely regarded as a low-intensity strategy due to its presumed simplicity, this chapter highlights the nuanced complexities involved in its effective implementation. There are several subtleties for implementing high-p request sequences effectively that teachers would not automatically understand. Also, an examination of the research may raise concerns about how well this intervention translates into practice. The purpose of this chapter is to review empirical literature, discusses systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and introduces innovative techniques, such as embedding instructions, to enhance behavioral momentum. The chapter not only offers practical recommendations for educators and practitioners, but also to future researchers who may continue delving into the efficacy of high-p requests and, by doing so, also bridging the gap between research and application, and ensuring a more informed and impactful use of high-p request sequences.

A Survey-Evaluation of the Nutritional Habits among Students | Chapter 8 | Recent Updates in Disease and Health Research Vol. 8

 

Nutrition refers to the quality and quantity of diet consumed in accordance with the nutritive value of the body. A healthy diet is an appropriate diet that is required to maintain physical and mental activity. It is an essential component of optimal health. Nutrition education has a significant impact on public consciousness and, as a result, society's health. Nutritional and healthy diet awareness programmes will assist the public in eating a balanced diet. Some researchers found that most of the students are not aware of healthy foods, which are essential to our body's functioning. The present survey is aimed to evaluate the nutritional habits of the students.

The survey was conducted on the various college students (300 subjects) who have aged between 17-22 years by using a self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire was mainly related to their nutritional habits like how often they avoid meals, how often they consume a portion of fresh fruits and vegetables, and how much fat.

300 subjects in total were involved in the study, among them 195(65%) were females and 105(35%) were males. It was observed that 112 (37.33%) skipped their breakfast, 65(21.66%) skipped their Lunch and 123(41.00%) skipped their dinner. According to O’Dea in 2005, avoiding of meals specifically breakfast disturbs the body’s metabolism and leads to diabetes. In this study, 245(81.66%) of subjects usually eat different kinds of vegetables but few students 55(18.33%) among them eat fruits each week. A majority of 231(77.00%) students opted for a high-fat diet.

Analysis of Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Towards Infection Control among Dental Undergraduate Students | Chapter 10 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 8

Aims: The present aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding infection control among dental undergraduate students of Mumbai, India.

Introduction: Healthcare personnel are always susceptible to infectious diseases if inadequate infection control measures are undertaken. In a dental setup, transmission occurs through air, blood, saliva droplets, or improper sterilization of instruments. Despite various standardized protocols in infection control, dental undergraduate students fail to obey the same.  Transmission of various existing and emerging new infections can easily occur in dental clinics through various courses which include direct contact with blood, oral fluids, other secretions, indirect contact with contaminated instruments, operatory instruments, and contact with airborne contaminants present in either droplet splatter.

Methods: A cross‑sectional questionnaire‑based study comprising a 13‑point close‑ended, self‑administered questionnaire was prepared and distributed among interns, final‑year dental students, and 3rd‑year dental students across six dental colleges. The questions were divided into three categories: knowledge, attitude, and practice. The responses were used for data collection and accordingly, results were made. The analysis was done using IBM SPSS Statistics version 22. The statistical significance was considered at P ≤ 0.05. Results: A total of 851 undergraduate students were assessed for knowledge, attitude, and practice toward infection control. Only 40% of the interns, 40% of the final‑year students, and 42% of the 3rd‑year students had precise knowledge about infection control measures. Twenty‑four percent of the interns, 27% of the final‑year students, and 25% of the 3rd‑year students showed accurate attitudes toward infection control. Finally, 41% of the interns, 44% of the final‑year students, and 39% of the 3rd‑year students inculcated the right practice in controlling infection. Strict monitoring of the routine use of infection control guidelines should be adhered to by all dental schools for the safety of patients and healthcare workers. This will help the dental undergraduate students to instil a positive attitude towards infection control hence improving their quality of dental practice and life. More such surveys should be carried out to authenticate our results thereby accomplishing the goal of infection-free practice.

Conclusion: Infection control is essential to reduce the risk of occupational infection to the practitioner and the auxiliary staff. Dental schools should give more emphasis on infection control protocols.

Localization a New Tool for Assessing Nursing Students Clinical Learning Environment in Iran | Chapter 1 | Progress in Language, Literature and Education Research Vol. 2

 This affiliate aims to evaluate the validity and dependability of the CLECS questionnaire (a inquiry for assessing the clinical knowledge environment) in nursing undergraduates. Continuous evaluations of dispassionate education and learning in suckling require the use of valid and trustworthy instruments. Dispassionate education is a vital part of pre-enrollment nursing education programs, giving reason for up to half of the milking student training event.This was a psychometric cross-sectional study of 116 nursing juniors. The developer allowed permission to translate, substantiate, and utilize the CLECS by email ideas with the matching author. The CLECS was translated into Persian. Subsequently performing the translation and enlightening adaptation steps, the psychometric process was carried out. The reliability was judged using Cronbach's alpha. Through union, discriminant, and confirmatory determinant analysis, the instrument lawfulness was evaluated.The verdicts of the confirmatory factor reasoning revealed that the current questionnaire was 6-spatial and confirmed the fit of the conclusive model. The majority of the survey's questions lacked powerful differential validity. The acting as a nurse process and the holism aspects had the maximal and lowest means, individually.On the basis of the results of this study, CLECS has powerful validity and dependability and, with the exception of discriminant validity, maybe used to assess the learning atmosphere of undergraduate tending students.

Strategies for Coping with the Stress among Students: Running with the Hare and Hunting with the Hounds | Chapter 9 | Recent Trends in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 2

 The present study proposed to investigate stress happenings associated with working and examining concurrently, and procedures for coping with the stress among graduates in the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), located in the Efutu Municipality of the Central Region of Ghana. The standard saying “running with the coney and hunting accompanying the hounds”, means that charming in two or more irreconcilable roles together is highly intolerable or unrealistic. In modern occasions, obtaining bigger formal education appears to be the key to asserting one’s status or stopping on top of one’s career contest.The study used an explanatory research paradigm and a qualitative record of what happened methodology. Twenty (20) MPhil undergraduates from UEW, including 10 first-year and 10 second-period students, were sampled for the to a certain extent-structured interview guide.  The study persistent that the main cause of students combining their academic and hiring activities was fiscal difficulties. The study also erect that working and examining at the same time can cause stress-related syndromes such as extreme blood pressure, discontent, headaches, back pain, and appetite loss. The study more showed that the undergraduates used assertiveness, common exercise, diet monitoring, and projected absences from work and school to deal with their stress. It is therefore urged to the university’s enjoining centre to educate occupied students on how to correctly manage the academic and work-accompanying stress they experience on daily support. This could be contained in the orientation programmes organised for students when they are recently admitted to the academy.

Role of Psychometric Assessment for Mooney Problem Check List (MPCL) in Measuring Challenges among Polytechnic Students Using Rasch Model | Chapter 2| Research Developments in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 6

 

This paper expects to evaluate the psychometric properties, particularly the interior consistency and partition record of the Mooney Problem Checklist (MPCL) utilizing the Rasch Model, to research the intercorrelations of eleven aspects in MPCL, and to talk about polytechnic understudies' exhibition for each aspect. A sum of 252 respondents were chosen from seven polytechnics in Malaysia and the comfort testing strategy was utilized. The Rasch model uncovered that the things meet the necessities for interior consistency and partition file. There are three sets of aspects that have areas of strength for a, 15 sets that have a moderate relationship, and 37 pairings that have a terrible relationship. The discoveries showed that the three sets of aspects that display areas of strength for incorporate training - learning (r = 0.687, p = 0.000), vocation - instruction (r = 0.685, p = 0.000), and social - individual (r = 0.662, p = 0.000). In the mean time, the three sets of aspects that display the most vulnerable connection incorporate amusement - vocation (r = 0.332, p = 0.000), finance - religion (r = 0.309, p = 0.000), and wellbeing - vocation (r = 0.297, p = 0.000). This study shows the strength of the aspects in the MPCL to demonstrate the reasonableness of the things utilized in polytechnics. The review not just adds to the evaluation of the psychometric properties of the things, yet the concentrate likewise shows the exhibition of polytechnic understudies comparable to each MPCL aspect. The adequacy of things to quantify difficulties as proven in this concentrate needs further thought.

Association of High-Sensitive C-reactive Protein and Atherogenic Lipid Levels Among Group of University Students with Habitual Smoking | Chapter 14 | Current Practice in Medical Science Vol. 1

The inflammatory and cardiovascular disease (CVD) marker high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is well-known. Blood levels of non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (n-HDL-C) are closely linked to a lifetime risk of atherosclerotic CVD. According to certain theories, Hs-CRP and atherogenic lipids constitute a key component of cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially in smokers. Long-term smoking appears to be associated with high levels of plasma cholesterol, hs-CRP, and LDL-C. The purpose of the study is to assess the plasma levels of hs-CRP, lipid profile, and magnesium in a sample of college students who smoke often. Eighty guys who currently smoke were included in this cross-sectional investigation. The plasma hs-CRP was estimated using the latex immune turbidimetric technique, employing a spectrophotometer, and chemical techniques were employed to calculate the plasma lipid profile and magnesium (Biosystem 310). The plasma levels of hs-CRP, total cholesterol, and LDL-C increased significantly in the test group of students who have smoked for at least 10 years (P 0.05), while HDL-C levels decreased significantly (P 0.05). The results demonstrated that smoking caused substantial changes in hs-CRP and atherogenic lipids, two markers of cardiovascular disease risk in young male smokers.

Improved Education by Novel Economic Instruments | Chapter 05 |New Innovations in Economics, Business and Management Vol. 7

 The Naturally Optimised Revenue Demand in Communities (NORDIC) concept was utilised to improve schooling. Dropout is a significant problem. Dropping out refers to leaving high school, college, or university for a variety of reasons, including practicality, necessity, or disillusionment. It affects not only the student who drops out, but also the university as a whole and society as a whole. This research offered an innovative and effective economic instrument for improved dropout management based on the NORDIC model.

Methods: The proposed methodology created fictitious shadow expenses that could be accounted for in government accounts to create economic incentives to reduce dropout rates. The resulting shadow cost, as well as its impact on the PSBR, combine to form a single critical component that symbolises the education strategy's success over time by a single digit. The newly adopted model considered the age of students who had obtained a BSc. The NORDIC model, which is a system of student-government cooperation, was used in this case study to show how the NORDIC model can be used to improve education in Swedish society.

The findings point to a promising methodology for reducing the dropout rate and lowering the qualification age using economic tools. The NORDIC model, particularly for BScs, has the potential to improve education systems and qualification ages.

Conclusions: Governments now have a mechanism to track, manage, and evaluate the education system. School administrators and legislators who are looking for a comprehensive tool to rethink education policy could be end users. The NORDIC approach should be used to education challenges in order to shorten the qualification age. Designing algorithms for certain student groups will be the focus of future research.
