Psychological and sociological characteristics of students suffering from nightmares

Aim. To assess the impact of nightmarish dreams on various aspects of medical students' lives.Materials and methods. A sociological survey was conducted among students of 1–6 courses of five medical universities using an online form which included the following questionnaires: the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Hamburg Nightmare Questionnaire, the Insomnia Severity Scale, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Beck Anxiety and Depression Scale. Academic performance was assessed according to the average score of the student's record book according to a 5-point system.Results and conclusions. A high prevalence of both insomnia and nightmares among medical students was found. The high frequency of nightmares was associated with high levels of anxiety and depression. The frequency of nightmares was associated with deterioration of sleep quality, frequency and degree of sleep impairment. Nightmarish dreams had a negative impact on the quality of cognitive activity assessed by academic performance.

The state of functional reserves of female students with dif ferent academic performance

The work is devoted to studying the influence of female students' academic performance on their functional reserves. The growth of the average score of the girls' record book is accompanied by a significant increase in the indicators of the cardiovascular system. An increase in grade point average leads to a significant increase in body weight. Improvement of the female students’ progress contributes to a slight and gradual decrease in the respiratory system. Due to the increase in the average score of the student's record book, there is a significant increase in the Robinson index and adaptive potential. The endurance coefficient value in the group of female students with "good" academic grades drops to 17.9, with "excellent" grades - increases to 20.6, and for those with "satisfactory" grades it is 19.0. The value of Index of Cardiovascular Regulation for good students decreases to 91.7%, for excellent students - increases to 92.8, and for satisfactory students it is 96.3. The level of the Robinson index for the group of excellent students increases to 105.4 (P<0.02), and for satisfactory students it is 83.9. In girls with an average grade book score of "B", the adaptive potential reached 2.25 P<0.05, with "A" - 2.42 (P<0.01), and with "C" - 2.05. Gradually falling, Skibinsky index reached a minimum value - 14.0 for female students who did excellently, and amounted to 18.1 in satisfactory students.

Association between Pre-Admission Scores and Student's Performance among Students of Saudi Applied Health Sciences College

Objectives: To assess if pre- admission scores are predicted to the final students GPA. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted in the College of Applied Health Sciences in Arrass in Qassim University between January and March 202. The overall graduated students were 279. Graduated students from Clinical Nutrition program were 229 and 50 from Dental Hygiene program. The pre-admission scores and the Final GPA were collected from student's record. Pearson correlation coefficient was carried out to illustrate the correlation between admission criteria and final GPA (p-value was considered statistically significant at p<0.01). Results: there is only positive correlation between (HSGA) and the final GPA (r=208, p=000, p<0.01) whereas there is no significant correlation between (APTT), (ACHT) score and Balanced score respectively (r=-.018, p=768 ; r=.080, p=.121 ; r=.093, p=.121). Conclusion: The findings illustrates that the (HSGA) is the only predictive score to the final students GPA in this study which conducted Applied Health College in Arrass, Qassim University. Comparing the results of this results of this study with previous studies, it could be concluded that (HSGA) is the most predictive score to the final GPA. Teaching and assessment methods in medical and health sciences colleges might be similar to those methods in the High school. Further studies are needed with larger sample.

The suggestions given by the group of respondents may be considered for future enhancement of the system.

Securing Academic Record using Blockchain with Hyper ledger Fabric

Student records (SR) havetobe stable and safe from the third parties. Theblockchain could guarantee safety, privilege, transparency and also provides access control.Despiteof having a scalable architecture in Hyperledgerfabric Block chainthere are various factors which affects the performance of the system and causes latency. Addedto that it could also not provide better indexing capability.In this proposed system, astorage structure is created which could provide better access time. Initially, ablock of desired size is created, basedon the configuring parameter this reduces the latency.Next,themetadata of the SR block is duplicated on an off-chain database to overcome the disadvantage of indexing capacity and latency .SR data will be transparent and could beaccessed at less time using less manpower and time.

A Blockchain-based framework for secure Educational Credentials

Blockchain provides a creative approach to storing information, executing transactions, conducting tasks, and building trust. Some see Blockchain as a revolutionary technology for cryptography and cybersecurity, with applications ranging from cryptocurrency to healthcare, smart contracts, Internet of Things, smart grids governance, supply-chain etc. This research work would offer a detailed analysis of blockchain Security, Privacy and Trust. It further studies the applications of blockchain technology in the domain of education and involved challenges. Finally, it proposes a blockchain-based framework for secure and reliable student's record management.

Multi-Dimensional Student's Result Analytical Processing For Tertiary Institutions

The objective of this paper work is to develop a web based analytical processing of students' record in a tertiary institution which will accept student data at all levels, determine students' performance over a period of time, extract specific information available from the database when there is need and improve the privacy, user-friendliness and enable convenient access to students' information mounted on the portal. This is done in other to determine the quality of students being graduated over time from the institution. our motivation was bourne out of the need to reduce the stress and discomfort departments encounter during students reconciliation of result. This will help in obtaining accurate information. It will also reduce bribery whereby people with money gets faster attention than others. In other to mine the database of students' results, the Structured System Analysis and design approach to software engineering was used in the course of this work. This involves identifying the problem which involved looking at the students' results for area of weaknesses and designing how to go about this identification, acquisition of knowledge and problem solving strategies. The data were collected majorly by interviews and observation. The result generated will help the staff (Lecturers) of the department to remotely input and monitor their results without stress after it has been approved by the senate of the Institution. The department can also have a quick view of student's record and make a quick decision on it.

Predicting Computer Science Ph.D. Completion: A Case Study

<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> This paper presents the results of an analysis of indicators that can be used to predict whether a student will succeed in a Computer Science Ph.D. program. The analysis was conducted by studying the records of 75 students who have been in the Computer Science Ph.D. program of the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Seventy-seven variables were extracted from each student's record, and the variables were correlated with whether the student did or did not successfully graduate from the program. A multivariate model was developed that predicts success with a high degree of accuracy. Importantly, the model relies on variables that can be determined reasonably early in a student's Ph.D. class work, enabling its use as a selection metric. Hypotheses about the composition of the model are also presented and discussed. </para>

Database 101 and Bento

SPREADSHEETS are good at some things but bad at others. They are good at all things related to math and money. For example, a spreadsheet is the ideal application to use to create a customized grade book. On the other hand, spreadsheets are poor at sorting or displaying information in different ways. The trouble with spreadsheets is that, unless you are very careful, sorting a column does not sort all the other information in the row. Thus if you want to sort the students by their final grade in your customized grade book, you could end up just sorting the final grade column, which would disassociate the grades from the students. If you have a lot of information in a spreadsheet but do not use a lot of the math functions, there is a good chance that you would be better off putting the information in a database. One of the strengths of a database--technically, it is database management software--is the ability to sort the information in various ways. Another strength is the ability to view or print a single record, for example, all the grades an individual student has received. You can do this with a spreadsheet by setting the print range to a single row, but you would have to do this individually for each student, which would be very time-consuming. In a database, you just print all records individually or custom design reports. Another strength of modern databases is the ability to place such media as pictures, sounds, and video into the database. For example, if you had a database of students, you could include pictures in each student's record. FileMaker, a subsidiary of Apple, makes the highly regarded database management program called, appropriately, FileMaker 9. This capable database is available for Macs, PCs, and multi-user file servers. FileMaker 9 can manage enough data to meet the needs of a fairly large school district. One of FileMaker 9's strengths is its ability to retrieve and use up-to-the-minute information, such as news feeds and weather maps. Another strength of FileMaker is its ability to almost effortlessly display data dynamically on Web pages that it can create for you. But alas, FileMaker's $300 price tag is probably too steep for many Kappan readers. However, not long ago FileMaker released Bento 1 for $50. Bento 1 is an easy-to-use database for Macs running OS 10.5, Leopard. Currently, Bento 1 is the only version available, and it does require Leopard. Before I discuss Bento, I need to go over some database terminology. In Bento, information is stored in fields, which are part of a record, which is part of a collection, which is part of a library. For example, a person's last name would be one field, and all the fields containing information on a person constitute a record. All the people in a group make up a collection. Various collections make up a library. In most other databases, a library is called a database. And some database software allows you to subdivide your information into many more levels. The basic increment of a database is a record. Records can be likened to spreadsheet rows. An advantage of Bento, and most other databases, is the ability to display records in two ways: a view, which is like a spreadsheet, or a view. In form view, all the information in a record is displayed on a single screen or printed on a single page. If you have a media field--for example, a field with a person's photograph--you can display it in form view, but not in table view. Another advantage of form view is that it gives you plenty of room on a screen or page to display the information in various ways. If you get too many columns in a spreadsheet, the rows wrap across several pages. Another nice feature of Bento is that it comes with 24 templates for libraries, organized into Education, Personal, and Work. These templates work much like those that come with such presentation software as PowerPoint or Keynote. In the Education category, there are templates for Projects, Classes, Files, Contacts, To Do Items, Events, Digital Media, Student List, Membership List, and Notes. …

Forsaking Honor or For the Sake of Honor

A basketball player at a National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I and religiously affiliated school cheats in a course and receives an “F.” Under the school's academic policy, a failing grade for academic dishonesty should not be expunged from the student's record, but the university's president approves a grade change for the star athlete. This case examines the actions of a university president, Board of Trustees, faculty members, and other administrators in this controversial situation. The case was developed for an organization theory course in a higher education administration program but is also instructive on leadership and governance, accountability, and academic integrity.

Process Recording Revisited

A learning-oriented thematic model of process recording is proposed in which the student's recording is based on internal and external learning themes, pre-selected by the student and the field education instructor. The themes, which serve as the organizing focus of the recording, parallel classroom curricula, agency service, and student learning needs. Though structured, the model is flexible in that it permits variation in the focus of each recording, reflecting the student's level of development. This selective theme-driven approach makes process recording a manageable education tool for both the student and the field supervisor.

Continuous Online Student Performance Evaluations

Abstract Every teacher needs to give students feedback on their performance. This article describes a spreadsheet that provides students using a network with an up-to-date summary of their performance. After the instructor enters grades and other material such as attendance into the spreadsheet, a macro causes each student's record to be sent to his or her network area. Students can examine their grade summary any time they are connected to the network. The article describes the implementation of this grades-on-demand concept and uses Lotus 1-2-3 version 2.2 for DOS and version 5.0 for Windows for examples

Individualized tutoring using an intelligent fuzzy temporal relational database

The student record (SR) is a major source of input for any decision making done by an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) and is a basis of the individualization in such systems. However, most ITSs still have “generalized” student models which represent a type of student rather than a particular one. Until the SR becomes truly representative of each individual student, the goal of providing individualized tutoring cannot be attained. In this paper we describe an Intelligent Fuzzy Temporal Relational Database (IFTReD), an intelligent system-independent SR which allows for almost any degree of individualization the designer wishes to incorporate. It is anticipated that this IFTReD will provide a significant improvement over standard AI storage techniques for the SR. These improvements will be realized in terms of: (1) intelligence; (2) greater storage efficiency; (3) greater speed in retrieval and query; (4) ability to handle linguistic codes, ranges, fuzzy possibilities, and incomplete data in student models; (5) friendliness of query language; (6) availability of temporal knowledge to give a history of past performance; and (7) a more holistic view of the student, permitting greater individualization of the tutor.

ESSAY TEST SCORING: INTERACTION OF RELEVANT VARIABLES

In studies of essay tests, a single independent variable, such as penmanship, is often observed and conclusions are made about the relevance of that variable in scoring tests. But in this study it is hypothesized that the readers of an essay respond to a variable in terms of its context with other variables, that is, readers may be more tolerant of poor penmanship for males than females, especially if expectations for the writer are involved. In this investigation sex, race, reader expectation, and quality of handwriting were crossed to study their interaction effects. A single student essay was contrived. Each of 80 readers was given the essay plus a student's record card, which identified the student as a high or low achiever (expectancy), black or white, male or female. The essay was written in either good or poor handwriting. A reader read only one essay under one combination of conditions. The results showed complex interactions of expectations, writing, and sex within race.

What's Going On…

Computer network to help manage instruction. A grant from the Arkansas State Department of Education has funded the development of a program for computer-assisted management of mathematics instruction for the Commodore PET Computer. The program contains data on each pupil--name, age, sex, teacher, grade, how much total computer time the child has, time spent on each test--and provides tests for all the basic skills' objectives for mathematics in grades K-4. The testing mode of the program generates four test items on each objective. The computer determines, tracks, and records progress on each objective for each student and updates the student's record. Mathematics instruction is given during a regular class period. The program is currently being piloted in grade 3 at North Elementary School in Jonesboro, Arkansas. The plans are to expand the system to cover mathematics K-8 and to begin using it in second grade. Teachers implementing the program were given training using the testing system and the computers.

This teaching system, devised by an American psychologist, is based on the written rather than the spoken word and allows students to proceed at their own pace. The course work is split into units, each of which has a Study Guide which introduces the unit, states its objectives, procedures to be followed, contains the reading list and provides self-assessment questions. A pass/fail Unit Test has to be successfully completed by the student before moving on to the next unit. Dr Daley was dissatisfied with the lecture as a teaching medium because of the inherent inaccuracies in a student's recording of notes and the very different levels from which the students begin their study. Using the Keller- plan he finds that the lecture time is freed for direct student contact. In addition, students

Strategies for Increasing Self-Initiated Verbal Interaction

The talking behaviors of college students enrolled in teacher training were assessed in weekly discussion groups. Students were randomly assigned to (1) a student record (SR) condition in which he recorded his own and one other group member’s initiated responses, (2) a leader record (LR) condition in which his initiated responses were recorded by the leader with the subject’s knowledge, or (3) a control condition (CC) in which the leader recorded surreptitiously. Results for subjects initially classified as reticent indicated a significant difference between LR and CC treatments. Further, SR subjects not only made more responses than LR or CC students, but increased across treatment weeks as well.

Matching Ability with Achievement

A N ATTEMPT to provide an environment which will stimulate students to efforts in the mastery of their academic work more nearly commensurate with their innate capacities than obtains generally at present is under way at Iowa State College. The essential principle of the program is the establishment of a new standard of achievement. In the past, a student's record was compared with some arbitrarily set mark, which was the same for all students regardless of differences in innate ability. As long as a student met this requirement, no question was raised and only sporadic attempts were made to stimulate students to higher achievement. Little account was taken of the fact that these very differences in ability, which are known to be great in any student body, made it extremely difficult for some students and easy for others to make passing marks, since the tendency is to adjust the work to the students of average ability. Most of us believe that it is strengthening to a person's character and personality to do one's best, to bring to each and every serious task the best one has in him. Dull students have to do this continually in their academic work in order to meet minimum requirements, and doubtless the personal traits thus developed are responsible for the success which so often attends such students in their business and professional careers. It is equally true that the failure to work consistently up to one's capacity is demoralizing to character or personality, besides being a great source of waste of human energy. Much is being said and written nowadays about the conservation of our natural resources, and rightly so, for we have been criminally wasteful with our land, our forests, our oil and mineral deposits. Future generations will probably rise up to curse rather than to bless us because of our wasteful exploitation of their heritage. But human energy is a much more valuable resource than our land, forests, and minerals, and the waste of it through nonuse or misuse is more deplorable, and should be a matter of greater concern to us. At Iowa State College we are concerned with the waste of human energy and talent which occurs among college students because of the failure of so many, especially of the more
