Medical students were weak in all the three domains when compared to engineering students.

Challenges and adaptations of dental students post-COVID-19 lockdown: A cross-sectional study in an Indian Dental Institution

Abstract BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The transition from online learning methods to the traditional offline mode of education post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has brought several challenges for dental students. The present study aimed to investigate the hardships and adaptations experienced by dental students while shifting back to an offline mode of education. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An online survey-based questionnaire was distributed among 160 Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) students and the feedback of about 102 students was recorded. RESULTS: The study yielded a response rate of 63.7% comprising of females (66.7%) and males (33.3%) respondents. The participants were categorized among two different age groups including students below 22 years of age and students equal to or above 22 years of age. The majority of the females (67.6%) are found to be more fearful of exposure to infection while working with patients in clinics compared with males (44.1%; P = 0.022). The students (≥22 years of age; 76.3%) found more difficulty in convincing their patients to get the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test done before proceeding with the clinical procedure than the students (<22 years of age; 48.8%; P = 0.004). Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) third year (61.8%), fourth-year (62.5%), 2018 batch interns (88.9%), and 2019 batch interns (94.1%) students experienced difficulty in wearing personal protective equipment all the time while working in clinics (P = 0.011). The maximum number of students (79.4%) still prefer writing over typing comprising a greater number of females (85.3%) than males (67.6%; P = 0.038). Male students (70.6%) are found less anxious about COVID-19 infection while staying in a hostel/paying guests compared with female students (45.6%; P =0.017). The majority of the students (95.1%) including more females (98.5%) compared with males (88.2%) follow proper sterilization procedures while working in clinics (P = 0.023). CONCLUSION: Dental students have faced various difficulties post-COVID-19 lockdown, particularly in the field of clinical practice while shifting back to offline mode of education.

Online medical teaching during COVID-19 lockdown: perceptions by the South-Indian Faculty

Background: The nationwide lockdown following the COVID-19 pandemic tremendously impacted the medical teaching-learning process. This study aimed to assess medical teachers’ perceptions about various aspects of online teaching-learning during the lockdown. Methods: A survey questionnaire was developed using Google Forms and emailed to medical teachers in India. Responses were analyzed and their significance was assessed using a chi-square test with an alpha of 0.05. Results: Out of 294 eligible responses, 70% belonged to deemed universities. 42.86% of teachers were preclinical, 23.81% paraclinical and 33.33% belonged to clinical subjects. Overall, 93.88% of faculty felt online teaching is time-consuming and 92.52% felt face-to-face classes are better. Almost 52% of faculties were reluctant to continue online classes after the lockdown. Approximately 53% of teachers believed that the maximum number of students would have utilized this facility, but still, a significant number of teachers were uncertain whether students would have benefited this activity. A significantly greater number of preclinical and paraclinical teachers conducted both theory and practical examinations as well as viva examinations, whereas clinical teachers primarily conducted theory examinations. Only 21.77% of teachers were satisfied with the conduct of examinations. Conclusion: Medical teachers have adapted themselves to teaching online during the COVID-19 pandemic. Google Classroom was the most preferred platform and live synchronous classes were the most preferred choice for delivering the classes. Most of the faculty perceived that online teaching was time-consuming. They were skeptical about the active involvement of students in this process. Moreover, they felt that the reliability of online assessments needed improving.

A nationwide survey on the preference of Indian undergraduate medical students to go abroad for higher studies and residency.

Getting residency training abroad is a critical motivator in the emigration of Indian medical students. Brain drain is an emerging issue, especially for developing countries as it causes a shortage of trained staff in the donor country. We aimed to survey Indian medical students to know about their intentions to get trained abroad and to understand the factors influencing their decision. In this cross-sectional observational study, we surveyed Indian undergraduate medical students of all professional years, including internship. A validated questionnaire collected data on students' demographics and educational characteristics, intention to study overseas or stay back in India, and factors influencing their decision. Out of a total of 1199 responses (51.1% males, 48.9% females), 45.0% partakers had planned to pursue their residency abroad, while 33.8% wanted to stay in India and 21.2% were undecided. Better lifestyle and higher pay grades overseas were viewed as the most significant barriers to staying back in India and a key influencer in decision-making among the maximum number of students (412; 76.3%). On the other hand, a whopping 58.2% of participants opined that they wanted to stay back in India for taking care of their parents. Source countries with better healthcare facilities and better incomes tend to attract medical students. Awareness among medical educators regarding constantly changing curricula, a shift to a competency-based education system, better pay grades, limited working hours, and interventions to mitigate workplace violence could help prevent brain drain among Indian medical students and graduates.

Awareness on human papilloma virus vaccine among medical students in rural area

Background: Cervical cancer, with an estimated 604,000 new cases and 342,000 deaths in 2020, is the fourth most common cancer among women globally. Low- and middle-income countries accounted for 90% of the new cases and deaths worldwide in 2020. Cervical cancer in females can be prevented to a great extent by vaccination. Implementation of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is still facing challenges, but it has the potential to address the challenges of cervical cancer screening in India. Implementation of HPV vaccination faces barriers of acceptance and lack of awareness, along with a high vaccine cost. Aims and Objectives: To assess the knowledge, attitude, and practise of the HPV vaccine among 1st and 2nd year medical students in a rural medical college. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 240 study subjects using a pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaire. The results were expressed in descriptive statistics like proportions and percentages. Results: 94% of the students were aware that cervical cancer is preventable, whereas 87% of them knew that cervical cancer can be prevented by a vaccine. 84% of the students had the knowledge that HPV vaccine is available in India. The maximum number of students were unvaccinated (92%), whereas 67% were ready to take the HPV vaccine in the future. Conclusion: Sensitization regarding the importance of the HPV vaccine to the general public can be achieved only when health care professionals are adequately aware of the safety and efficacy of the HPV vaccine. The first step in this direction is to educate the students who will form the backbone of our health care system in the future.

Extracurricular Habits of Bru Adolescent Students in Mamit District, Mizoram

Involvement in extracurricular activities is often credited for being a way for students to get to know themselves, develop their skills and knowledge in different real-life contexts. It is important that such habit is formed during adolescence, which is a formative life stage when patterns are set. The objective of this paper is to find out the level of extracurricular habits of Bru adolescent students of Mamit district, Mizoram and if gender and residential status have an impact on such habit. The study found that maximum number of students are actively participating in extracurriculars, gender is not a defining factor in extracurricular involvement and residential status does have a significant impact on their extracurricular habit.

Attitude of undergraduate students towards E-learning

One of the unique contributions of technology in the field of Education is E-learning. The easy accessibility, flexible learning environment, and cost-effectiveness have made e-learning popular among students. Despite its many benefits, several problems have been faced by students, such as a lack of technical knowledge, computer experience, and internet resources, which may decrease their interest in accessing e-learning. In this study, an attempt has been made to examine the attitude of undergraduate students towards e-learning in relation to gender and academic streams. For this, 120 samples were selected from two different colleges using stratified purposive sampling. The Attitude towards e-learning scale developed by Dimpal Rani (2015) was adopted to collect data from the samples. Although the results of descriptive analysis revealed a diverse range of attitudes towards e-learning, the maximum number of students (30%) had a highly unfavorable attitude. The results of the variation analysis explained that there was no significant difference between boys and girls towards e-learning. It was also found that there was no significant difference among the attitudes of Arts, Commerce, and Science students towards e-learning.

Assessment of Ecological Footprint of Educational Institutes in Bilaspur District of Himachal Pradesh

The ecological footprint is a resources accounting tool that measures how much land and sea area is available on earth, and how much of this area is appropriate for human use. The present study was conducted in the year 2020-21to assess the ecological footprint of schools. Five components viz. electricity, water, solid waste, transportation, and material (paper) consumption of selected 13 Government Senior Secondary Schools of Bilaspur district were analysed. The total ecological footprint (EF) of all the selected educational institutes was found to be 2417.46 gha and per capita, EF was 0.58 gha.The highest ecological footprint was found to be 544.48 g ha in GSSS, Berthin, and per capita highest ecological footprint was calculated as 0.59 g ha and the lowest EF (91.43 g ha) was in GSSS, Ghumarwin and per capita, EF was 0.53 gha. The highest (1.47 g ha) biocapacity was observed in GSSS, Berthin,and the lowest biocapacity (1.33 gha) was estimated in GSSS, Bilaspur. The component-wise contribution towards total EF was 23.34 g ha, 0.012 g ha, 83.66 g ha, 2213.58 g ha, and 0.062 g ha respectively in energy, water, material, transportation, and solid waste. In Jhandutta Block, the maximum number of students and staff members falls under the sustainability scale of 60−120, which indicates that an extra campus is required to support their lifestyle. In Ghumarwin and Bilaspur blocks, the maximum number of the population falls under the sustainability scale of less than 60, which means that resources are used efficiently. In Swarghat block, the maximum population falls under the scale of 120−180, which indicates that students and staff arenot utilizing the resources efficiently.

On the Multivariate Analysis of Students' Academic Performance in Wassce in Public Senior Secondary Schools in Rivers State (2018-2020)

The paper examined students' performance in six subjects from WAEC examination from 2018 to 2020 using multivariate analysis through Hotelling T2 distribution and paired t-test statistics. Four objectives where formulated and used for this study. Based on the factors in the objectives, relevant related literatures were reviewed. A secondary data extracted from the WAEC results from the public senior secondary schools under study were used for this study and the analyses of the data were done using Hotelling T2 distribution, Quadratic form, and paired t-test statistics. All computations were done via Microsoft Excel 2010, SPSS (version 23.0) and MINITAB (version 16.0). The Hotelling T2 statistics results between the students' academic performance for (2018 & 2019), (2019 & 2020) and (2018 & 2020) were all significant. Paired t-test statistics results showed a decrease in the Students' average performance for four subjects (Mathematics, English Language, Marketing and Biology), while an increase in the Students' average performance for Economics and Civic Education subjects. It was discovered that students' average performances in Economics and Civic Education subjects were better than other subjects. This research recommend the effective implementation of the Nigeria education policies that emphasizes on teachers qualification, years of teaching experience and the UNESCO policy on Teacher-Students ratio (this policy stipulates that the maximum number of students that should be in a secondary class is 25), since there is significant difference between students' average performance for four subjects.

Agent-Based Modeling of COVID-19 Transmission in Philippine Classrooms

Onsite classes in the Philippines have been prohibited since March 2020 due to the SARS-CoV-2 which causes the COVID-19. This forced millions of learners to adapt with new modes of instruction that may not be optimal for their learning. In this study, we implemented an agent-based model in Netlogo that followed common classroom layouts to assess the effects of human interactions to virus transmission. Results show that the highest value of cumulative proportion of infected individuals inside the classroom (CPI) is achieved when the total allowable seating capacity in the classroom is increased from 25 to 50%. Also, varying transmission rates between 5 and 20% does not pose any significant effect on CPI. Furthermore, in three of the four seating arrangements, allowing in-class mobility and class rotations can pose significant increases in CPI averaging from 40 to 70%. Results also showed that factors including maximum number of students and number of initially infected individuals, significantly affect the likelihood of infection apart from the seating arrangement itself. To minimize the risk of transmission inside the classroom setup considered, it is vital to control these factors by adhering to mitigation efforts such as increased testing and symptoms checking, limiting the maximum number of students, and redefining breaks and class rotations.

Transforming On-Campus Education: Promise and Peril Information Technology in Traditional Universities

The governing bodies of all European universities have identified opportunities that, in the mind of the friends of technology, take the form of Napster universities where students would download from a huge reservoir of courses created by a multitude of universities what suits them and be able to send questions to professors from anywhere in the world. In 1998, in the framework of a plan to support innovation in teaching, the Rector decided to promote the Campus Global project conceived, initially, as an intranet designed exclusively for teaching purposes, and which aimed at complementing and supporting on-campus teaching. In effect, the loss of identity of university teaching as opposed to that at the secondary level is the result of political, economic, social, and demographic factors that led to the 'schoolfication' of university teaching. Unlike the post-graduate level where individualized service to the student is characteristic and essential, the criterion for teaching at the undergraduate level is spreading a scarce resource - the teacher - over the maximum number of students, while setting limits on the effort the teacher must expend to protect the time devoted to research by expressing this in formal terms of number of hours lectured - or credits.

Analysis of Educational Building’s Ventilation Suitability to Prevent the Spread of Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)

In a larger educational building in Slovenia, we examined the efficiency of ventilation systems by analysing the operation of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system in several classrooms. Using the Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Associations (REHVA) COVID-19 ventilation calculator, the probability of infection due to the spread of coronavirus through aerosol particles and the reproduction number were calculated based on the classroom occupancy, ventilation rates, and other parameters (i.e., classroom characteristics, preventive measures). Firstly, different levels of ventilation capacity (50 % and 80 %) were applied. Considering the distance between persons 1.5 m and wearing the masks of all participants, the probability of infection during lectures was always lower than 1 %. Secondly, the maximum number of students that can attend lectures is about 30 %, as calculated according to the legal requirements, recommendations, and given conditions.

Lifestyle factors influencing medical and nursing student's health status at the rural health-care institute.

BACKGROUND:Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) may be influenced by lifestyle behavior, acquired during transition in student life at university. Health is a major concern globally. The developing counties are facing a double burden of disease, both communicable and NCD. This study is aimed to assess the lifestyle and its associated factors that can affect the health status of medical and nursing students.MATERIALS AND METHODS:A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among medical and nursing students of Sasaram, Bihar, by universal sampling. The study population consisted of 303 medical and 233 nursing students. The 536 students in the study, included 195 from rural areas and 341 from urban areas. Simple Lifestyle Indicator Questionnaire was used and Chi-square statistics was computed to determine the association of demographic variables with lifestyle behavior using Epi InfoTM 7 analysis software.RESULTS:Mean age and body mass index were 21 ± 2.59 years and 22.12 ± 3.77, respectively. After statistical analysis utilizing the Chi-square test, it was shown that the difference was found to be nonsignificant (P > 0.05) in all the following variables, such as gender, age, marital status except in designation, and alcohol and tobacco intake which showed the difference to be highly significant.CONCLUSIONS:The maximum number of students in the study population showed intermediate healthy lifestyle (57.1%), despite being the upcoming health-care providers of future. Fruits were rarely present in diet in 82%, no physical activity in 21.2%, and tobacco and alcohol were consumed by 11.7% and 13%, respectively. Targeted intervention for healthy diet, physical activity, stress, tobacco, and alcohol reduction can lead to healthy lifestyle. Independence and autonomy gained in the transition phase in student life needs guided supervision to raise responsible adults. It may help to assist or to plan accordingly in future to improve lifestyle of the students.

Comparison of non -Prescribed use of Tranquilizer with Stimulants Drugs among Medical Students

Objective: The goal of this study to look at the patterns of drug use among medical students. Methodology: All medical students enrolled in the Bakhtawer Amin Medical & Dental College Multan, from first to fifth year were included in this study. The sample size was calculated using a single population proportion formula. The sample consisted of 200 students drawn from various batches and chosen using a stratified random selection procedure Results: The total study participants were 200 medical students of different years in which 139(70%) were males and 61(30%) were females. The participants having age range 18-25 years and maximum number of students were fall in age group 21-25 [117(58.5%)]. The results of the study showed that 76% used tranquilizer and 68% of the students used Stimulants without prescription as p-value 0.004 showing statistical significant difference in the use of both types of drugs. Student used tranquilizer and stimulants once a month as 32% vs 37% with significant p-value 0.034. Conclusion: The fourth-year students had the highest rate of drug usage. During the evaluation, the majority of students were drug users; there was no sign of physical dependency. The topic of non-prescribed drug usage among medical students is examined in this study. More research is needed to investigate national trends of drug addiction among medical students, as well as to find and reinforce protective variables. Supporting children with a non-prescription usage necessitates the development of strategies. Keywords:Nonmedical prescription drug use; Nonmedical prescription stimulant use; Nonmedical prescription tranquilizer use; Trends.

Determination of prevalence of asymptomatic proteinuria and haematuria in 5-15 year aged school children in southern India

Background: Chronic renal diseases remain major cause of morbidity and mortality in young children. Although idiopathic nephrotic syndrome takes on chronic course other histopathological variants can lead to rapid progression of disease. Proteinuria in children can be physiological. Hematuria in children is always should be investigated. Persistent proteinuria in children should be investigated for any significant progressive renal disease after excluding orthostatic proteinuria. Although many countries adopt high risk screening in pediatric age group many eastern countries advocate school screening for asymptomatic proteinuria and hematuria using dipstick urine screening.Methods: A 6 month cross sectional study of asymptomatic children aged 5-15 years in metropolitan school for dipstick urine analysis for proteinuria and hematuria.Results: The ratio of male and female children in the study is 1.2:1 (total-1999, male-1056, and female-934). Age group ranged from 5 to 15 with mean 12.13 and standard deviation (SD)-2.46. Maximum number of students in the study are above 10 years of age. Children with isolated asymptomatic proteinuria have significant differences due to their sex (p value-0.005) and hematuria (p value-0.007). Prevalence of asymptomatic proteinuria is 9.8% and hematuria is 1.05%. Prevalence of persistent proteinuria is 1.35%.Conclusions: Prevalence of asymptomatic proteinuria and hematuria can be determined using dipstick urine analysis in school children. Mass screening is cost effective and feasible only if persistent cases of proteinuria are followed up, ruling out orthostatic proteinuria. Although study is feasible, it is cumbersome. High risk screening is the best cost effective method.

Super-stability in the student-project allocation problem with ties

The Student-Project Allocation problem with lecturer preferences over Students (spa-s) involves assigning students to projects based on student preferences over projects, lecturer preferences over students, and the maximum number of students that each project and lecturer can accommodate. This classical model assumes that each project is offered by one lecturer and that preference lists are strictly ordered. Here, we study a generalisation of spa-s where ties are allowed in the preference lists of students and lecturers, which we refer to as the Student-Project Allocation problem with lecturer preferences over Students with Ties (spa-st). We investigate stable matchings under the most robust definition of stability in this context, namely super-stability. We describe the first polynomial-time algorithm to find a super-stable matching or to report that no such matching exists, given an instance of spa-st. Our algorithm runs in O(L) time, where L is the total length of all the preference lists. Finally, we present results obtained from an empirical evaluation of the linear-time algorithm based on randomly-generated spa-st instances. Our main finding is that, whilst super-stable matchings can be elusive when ties are present in the students’ and lecturers’ preference lists, the probability of such a matching existing is significantly higher if ties are restricted to the lecturers’ preference lists.

Employability Skills among Management Students: A Need for Social Innovation in Education

Today management education has to address a wide variety of critical issues and the Management Institutions are left no option except to face the challenge of providing placements irrespective of what the quality of intake of students and this is not just the demand from the students but also turns out to be an expectation from the society too. On this premise of challenges and expectations, Management Institutions strive to look for developing employability skills among their students and it is a puzzle to select a proper approach that may have more employability alternatives to management studies, the present article is an attempt to evaluate the Employability skills of the select students and to highlight the importance of various social innovation educational strategies adopted by Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs). An Exploratory Research study on Employability skills is carried out and a descriptive study on Social innovation. Logistic regression tool has been used to study the prevalence of employability skills among the students. Nearly 142 students responded to the questionnaire and based on their answers about their skills, logical regression technique was applied to see the ranks given by them for the skills. The results show that maximum number of students have assertiveness in the first place and problem solving ability in the second place and social inter personal skill in the third place. However, the remaining skills follow the degree of assertiveness, problem solving ability and social interpersonal skills. The innovation in education and entrepreneurship is the need of the day. The creation of social innovation platform is necessary to improve the social skills of the student through collaborations, and networks with the MSMEs.
