Изучение комплексного влияния биосоциальных факторов на показатели морфофизиологической адаптации современной молодежи в условиях городского стресса

Materials and methods. The materials of complex anthropological surveys of the Department of Anthropology of Moscow State University 2020–2021 were used. The anthropometric characteristics, components of the physique, physiological indicators, psychological characteristics and data of a sociological survey of 245 respondents (176 girls and 69 boys) – students of different universities in Moscow aged 18 to 23 years were studied. To assess adaptive capabilities, an integrative indicator is calculated – the level of physical condition of the body (PCL). Results. Reliable correlations with PCL were obtained mainly in the group of girls: statistically significant relationships were revealed for a cluster of morphological features, blocks of body composition, functional indicators and physical activity, for the values of phase angle, specific metabolism and the indicator of orientation to appearance. In the group of boys, there were significantly fewer reliable correlations: as in girls, a block of functional indicators and specific metabolism, as well as the level of total thyroxine in the blood and satisfaction with body parameters were significantly associated with PCL. The structure of relationships between groups of traits is as follows: socio-cultural characteristics are associated with levels of anxiety, aggressiveness and depression; the component composition of the body – with physique and functional indicators, which also correlate with social characteristics (education of parents, number of children in the family, level of family income). Conclusion. The closeness of the connections between the PCL and the blocks of the body's component composition and functional indicators is due to the commonality of their biological nature and the unity of subsystems in the structure of the general human constitution. A small but statistically reliable association with the PCL of the level of physical activity confirms the positive effect of daily physical activity on the adaptive capabilities of the body. The reliable connection with the PCL of individual socio-cultural features reflects the degree of importance of the perception of the features of one's own physique in the life of modern boys and girls and indicates the influence of self-esteem of appearance not only on the psychological state and quality of life, but also on the physical condition of the body and adaptive capabilities. The results obtained are consistent with the concept of intersystem integration of the organism and confirm the influence of socio-economic and socio-cultural factors on the processes of morphophysiological and psychosocial adaptation of modern youth to the conditions of the superurbanized environment of the XXI century.

Longitudinal analysis of the environmental literacy of undergraduate students in Eastern Taiwan

Although higher education is crucial for training future professionals to deal with environmental challenges, there have been few longitudinal studies exploring how university students’ academic major influences their environmental literacy. This study identifies significant differences in environmental literacy among students from different colleges at a public comprehensive university in eastern Taiwan, both at the onset and towards the end of their studies. This analysis also shows how undergraduate students’ environmental literacy changes over time. It was found that freshman students in different colleges had similar environmental literacy levels except for science and engineering students. But after four years the environmental literacy gap between seniors in management and non-management students became obvious. In addition, seniors’ environmental literacy generally decreased or remained the same as that in their freshman year. The results suggest that to foster environmentally responsible citizens, educators in higher education should put more effort on cooperating with non-formal environmental education programs and connecting their teaching with environmental issues, action strategies, and inspiring visions. Finally, implications for program developers and policymakers in higher education are discussed.

Determinants of financial stress among university students and its impact on their performance

PurposeTo identify the financial stress and associate factors of tertiary level student.Design/methodology/approachTo identify the financial stress and associate factors, a structured questionnaire was developed to collect data from 571 students of different universities of Bangladesh through Google form. Chi square and Cramer's V were applied to find the associated factors with financial stress of students, whereas ordinal regression was performed to evaluate the influence of the associated factors on financial stress.FindingsGender, living status, borrowing loan factors have positive association with financial stress. Tuition fee dues have significant positive association with financial stress. A student who has tuition fee dues feels 1.48 times more stress compared to student who does not have dues. Females were found less likely to be financially stressed (AOR = 1.536) than male students. Students who borrowed loans were more likely to have financial stress than non-borrowed loan groups of students.Practical implicationsResults indicate that financial stress has a strong impact on participation in different academic and personal activities of a student. Therefore, parents, university administration and student counselor should consider the factor to assess stress of a student.Originality/valueThis study identified factors responsible for financial stress of Bangladeshi students of tertiary level.

Food insecurity and mental health of college students in Lebanon: a cross-sectional study.

The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of food insecurity (FI) among college students and explore its association with indicators of mental and psychosocial health. Data were collected using a cross-sectional online survey from college students in different universities in Lebanon during the Spring 2021 semester. FI was assessed using the validated eight-item food insecurity experience scale. The mental health of college students was assessed using validated screening tools for depression, anxiety and well-being, namely the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), the General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and the World Health Organization (WHO-5) index, respectively. Multiple linear regression models were conducted to assess the relationship of FI with PHQ-9, GAD-7 and WHO-5 scores. A total of 745 students completed the online survey. Approximately 39 % of students in the sample were experiencing FI of which 27·4, 8·1, and 3·5 % were experiencing mild, moderate and severe FI , respectively. Low maternal education, low household monthly income and high levels of stress were significant correlates of FI among college students (P-trend < 0·001). In addition, 22·6 and 34·4 % of students showed severe symptoms of depression and anxiety, respectively. Regression models showed that FI was associated with higher scores on PHQ-9 and GAD-7 (β = 2·45; 95 % CI [1·41, 3·49]) and (β = 1·4; 95 % CI [1·1, 2·2], respectively) and lower scores on WHO-5 (β = -4·84; 95 % CI [-8·2, -1·5]). In conclusion, a remarkable proportion of college students reported experiencing different forms of FI, which was associated with poorer mental health and well-being outcomes. Public health programmes and interventions are needed to mitigate FI and improve student health-related outcomes.
