Baseline Health of University Workers Pre-Intervention in Lifestyle: HaSEN

Objective: The aim of the present study was to analyse and compare the initial health situation before starting the lifestyle programme in 4 editions of the programme. Theoretical framework: HaSEN is an annual intervention programme for the generation of healthy habits on eating behaviour (psychonutrition) and active lifestyle (physical exercise) in university workers in the contemplative phase of motivation to change. Methods: A total of 74 workers participated between the 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 editions from a Spanish university (24-59 years; M = 42.3; SD = 8.5) 19 men (26%) and 55 women (74%). Anthropometric, biological, lifestyle and psychological variables were analysed. Results and Discussion: Anthropometric, biological, lifestyle and psychological variables were analysed. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet in the 2021 edition workers at the start of the intervention was found to be higher than in 2019 and achievement motivation higher than in 2020, results that could be related to the special situation derived from the Covid-19 pandemic. Implications of the research: This shows the importance of knowing the baseline health status of workers in behaviours such as those observed in the last edition (2022) in terms of worsening adherence to the Mediterranean diet. This aspect highlights the need to apply interventions such as the HaSEN programme for the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle in terms of nutrition and physical exercise behaviour in the population under study. Originality/value: This study contributes to the scientific literature on public health in the population of university workers. It provides retrospective and prospective information on baseline health status and motivation to change habits to maintain a lifestyle in a working population subjected to high levels of work demands and the implications that this may have on the overall health status of this population.

Metabolic Syndrome and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in a Fishing Community in Southern Italy

BackgroundWork organization and psychosocial factors influencing sleep patterns may be significant risk factors for developing obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, the impact on the health of working patterns in the fishing sector is not well characterized. The aim of the study is to determine the prevalence of MetS and its components in fishermen and to analyze occupational-specific risk factors contributing to metabolic alterations. MethodsOne hundred forty-three male fishermen from Apulia (Southern Italy) and 93 male university workers age-matched and from the same geographical area were included in this cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was administered to investigate socio-demographic variables, work activity, health status, and dietary habits. All subjects underwent clinical evaluation and blood sampling to depict their metabolic profile. ResultsA higher body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-hip ratio (p < 0.001) were observed in fishermen than in university workers. No significant difference between the two groups was observed in the prevalence of MetS (15.4% fishermen vs 16.1% university workers) and its relevant diagnostic criteria, except abdominal obesity (42.7% fishermen vs 29.0% university workers, p = 0.021). The Castelli risk index, the monocyte/c-HDL ratio, and the Sokolow index were significantly greater in fishermen (p < 0.001). In the fishermen group, the total number of sleeping hours on working days was negatively correlated with WC (r = -0.17; p = 0.04), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (c-LDL) (r = -0.21; p = 0.02), and the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) index (r = -0.19; p = 0.02). ConclusionThe higher prevalence of obesity and the imbalance of the metabolic profile observed in fishermen could be related to occupational factors, including the specific working pattern that influences their sleeping hours and sleeping-waking rhythms.

A Teaching Design of Ideological and Political Education in the College English Listening Curriculum Based on OBE Concept

Under the guidance and requirements of ideological work in colleges and universities in the new era, curriculum ideology and politics have always been a highly-valued part of political work and curriculum sublimation of the government. As an important content of higher education, college English listening courses should better effectively combine curriculum ideology and politics with teaching contents. This not only enriches the content of English listening teaching activities but also enables students to think deeply and form correct views on life values, moral values and worldviews. In the English teaching method, the OBE concept insists on being “student-centered,” which is a results-oriented education model. On the premise of combining the syllabus and teaching content, this paper designs and discusses the first chapter of unit 3 in the book “Over to You 2” from the aspects of the specific teaching process, the analysis of the OBE concept and the integration of curriculum ideological and political elements, to give inspiration and reference based on the concept of OBE.

Research on the influence mechanism of college students' mainstream consciousness leadership under the background of mobile Internet

In recent years, the rapid innovation and popularization of mobile communication and new media technologies have brought about profound changes in the mode of social information dissemination. For college students whose ideological values are still in the critical period of development and change, how to enhance their mainstream ideological leadership in the mobile Internet era and guide the ideological and behavioral development of college students with socialist ideology guided by Marxism has become a common focus of attention in society and academia. At present, the research on the mainstream ideological leadership of college students in the academic community mainly focuses on the negative impact of modern communication technologies such as new media on the ideological work of colleges and universities and the corresponding countermeasures, while the theoretical core and internal composition of the mainstream ideological leadership, as well as the deep impact logic, positive and negative impacts and systematic improvement paths of the technological and social changes in the mobile Internet era on the mainstream ideological leadership of college students are still insufficient. Therefore, this study aims to go beyond the research perspective of traditional college ideological education management, deeply explore the basic connotation and force composition of the mainstream ideological leadership, systematically analyze the deep impact logic of the mobile Internet era on the mainstream ideological leadership of college students, sort out its improvement opportunities, and explore the structural dilemmas in it, and propose a systematic path for improving the mainstream ideological leadership of college students.

Effect of Animated Instructional Software on Students’ Academic Achievement in Motor Vehicle Maintenance Work in Government Technical Colleges in Rivers State for Sustainable Economy

The study investigated the effect of animated instructional software on students’ academic achievement in motor vehicle maintenance work (MVM) in Government Technical Colleges in Rivers State, Nigeria for sustainable economy. The study adopted quasi-experimental non-randomized control group design. The population of the study was 95 MVM students from the three Government Technical Colleges in Rivers State that offer motor vehicle maintenance work (MVM). A sample of 75 respondents was drawn using a random sampling technique. Three objectives, three research questions, and three hypotheses guided the study. The instrument used for data collection was the Motor Vehicle Maintenance Work Achievement Test (MVMAT) which has thirty (30) multiple choice questions with four options A-D developed by the researcher and validated by three experts of which two are from the Department of Industrial Technical Education, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Port Harcourt and one from Department of Measurement and Evaluation, Rivers State University, Port Harcourt. The reliability of the instrument was determined by a pre-test on 10 respondents from Government Technical College, Owerri, Imo State, who are not part of the population and produced a reliability coefficient of.74 after subjecting student’s responses to the Kudar-Richardson (KR-20) formula. Mean and standard deviation were used to analyze data from the research questions while Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses of the study at .05 level of significance. The study revealed that the use of animated instructional software in the teaching of MVM aided the academic achievement of students, as those in the experimental group performed better than those in the control group. The study recommends, among others, that animated instructional software should be adopted by curriculum designers and NBTE for technical teachers who will be trained in the usage of the software and should be adequately supervised for effective implementation in instructional delivery.

Reform and Practice of Ideological and Political Teaching in the Course of Processing and Storage of Forage Crops

The 6th document of the Ministry of Education in 2019 pointed out that ideological and political education should run through the whole process of talent training, insisting that the effect of "cultivating people by virtue" should be regarded as the fundamental standard to test all the work of colleges and universities. Forage Processing and Storage is based on the basic theory of maintaining and improving the nutritional value of forage feed and reducing the nutritional loss in the process of processing and storage. It focuses on the science of processing technology of forage. It is a professional course of grassland science major in higher agricultural schools. The teaching content involves botany, seed science, soil science, culture science, animal nutrition, ecology and other aspects, which contains rich ideological and political elements. With the purpose of "cultivating people by virtue", the paper explored the ideological and political elements, and integrated them with professional knowledge organically. Through the analysis of typical teaching cases, the reform and practice of ideological and political teaching of Forage Processing and Storage are promoted, and the correct values and scientific outlook are set up by the students in a subtle way.

HE in FE mature students’ experiences of labour, learning and lockdowns: a feminist narrative inquiry

ABSTRACT A significant proportion of mature undergraduates study at further education colleges (HE in FE) in England. This inquiry builds on research which explores the effect of paid work or unpaid care work on mature students’ learning but offers a new perspective by considering the interaction of both forms of labour on learning in the home during COVID-19 lockdowns. The study broadens theoretical perspectives on this group by using Gouthro’s critical feminist theory of the homeplace. The research makes an original contribution by arguing that the key lenses through which we understand mature students’ experiences of learning at home are labour and relationships. Online life history interviews with 15 HE in FE mature students and a research diary were analysed using a feminist framework, The Listening Guide. Findings indicate individual further education college staff played a major role in supporting students; however, the thesis recommends that colleges recognise unpaid work as a legitimate contributor to HE learning. To enhance social justice and gender equity, a reimagination of work-based learning which develops students’ capacity to critique structural inequality at work is needed. The study recommends that colleges work on new narratives for and about mature students which counter deficit perspectives.

Exploration on Innovation Path of Precise Ideological and Political Work in Colleges and Universities Under the Background of Big Data Driving

However, although existing models for evaluating the effectiveness of universities provide a large number of modeling solutions, it is difficult to objectively evaluate dynamic coefficients based on the differences in precision ideological and political work systems of different types of universities in the evaluation process of innovative paths for precision ideological and political work. In this context, this article proposes an innovative path for the precision of ideological and political work in universities under the background of big data driving, and constructs a complex system discrete dynamic modeling technology. This model quantitatively describes the consistency between different precise ideological and political work models, the similarity of research strategies for precise ideological and political work, and expected evaluation indicators using multiple transformation dynamic coefficients. This study provides new ideas and methods for innovative research in the field of ideological and political work in universities.
