The study titled “Assess the Effectiveness of Structured Teaching Program on Knowledge Regarding Self-Care Practice Among 1st Year B.Sc. Nursing Students at Smt. Nagarathnamma College of Nursing, Bengaluru” aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured teaching program on students' knowledge about self-care practices. Introduction: Self-care is crucial in nursing practice, as it helps maintain physical, emotional, and mental well-being. However, nursing students often focus more on patient care, neglecting their own self-care practices. This study aimed to bridge this gap by assessing and improving their knowledge. Methods and Materials: A quantitative approach was adopted, and 45 first-year nursing students were selected through non-probability sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire with 30 items, covering demographic variables and knowledge assessment. Results: The pre-test results showed that 84.44% of students had inadequate knowledge regarding self-care. Following the structured teaching intervention, 57.7% of the students showed adequate knowledge in the post-test. A significant relationship between demographic variables and knowledge improvement was also observed through paired T-tests. Conclusion: The study concluded that the structured teaching program significantly improved the knowledge of self-care practices among nursing students. Incorporating such educational interventions into the nursing curriculum can enhance students' self-care awareness and contribute to better personal well-being and patient care in their professional roles.

Background: Mobile addiction is becoming an increasingly prevalent issue among students, affecting their academic performance, social interactions, and overall health. One of the significant consequences of excessive mobile use is the negative impact on sleep quality, leading to various physical and psychological problems. Addressing these issues through educational interventions is crucial in improving students' well-being. Aim: The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a structured teaching programme on mobile addiction patterns and sleep quality among students of Smt. Nagarathnamma College of Nursing, Bangalore. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was employed. A total of [insert number] students were selected using convenient sampling techniques. The data was collected using a standardized questionnaire that measured mobile addiction patterns and sleep quality before and after the intervention. A structured teaching programme was developed, focusing on awareness, self-regulation, and the negative consequences of mobile addiction on sleep. The programme included lectures, group discussions, and interactive activities designed to improve awareness and encourage healthy mobile usage habits. Results: Pre- and post-intervention data were analyzed using [insert statistical tools]. The results indicated a significant reduction in mobile addiction patterns and an improvement in sleep quality among the students after the structured teaching programme. The findings suggest that educational interventions can positively impact students' mobile use habits and sleep health. Conclusion: The structured teaching programme effectively reduced mobile addiction and improved sleep quality among nursing students. The study highlights the need for ongoing educational efforts to raise awareness about mobile addiction and its impact on health. Future research should focus on long-term follow-up and the impact of similar interventions in other educational settings.

Published: November 2024

Various high yielding glutinous corn varieties have been developed and NSIC registered, however, the national and regional yield averages are still very low. A study therefore, was conducted to increase the yield of glutinous corn in Ilocos Norte though modification of planting distance and fertilizer rate. Experimental setups were established for two consecutive dry seasons from 2019-2021 which were laid-out in Split-Plot following the randomized complete block design with three replications using MMSU Glut 1 variety as test plants. Soil pH level of the soil before and after harvest from a depth 0-20 cm and 21-40 cm was increased from 7.26 to 7.52 and 7.33 to 7.60, respectively. MDR plots have higher OM at the 0-20 cm depth by 11.67% to 15.55% as N levels applied increase from 120 to 200 kg N ha-1. At 90 DAE, glutinous corn fertilized with 200-100-100 kg NP2O5K2O ha-1 was significantly taller by 4.2% and 10.77%; higher ear height by 9.6% and 21.40%, longer ear length, and wider ear diameter than those applied with 120-60-60 kg NP2O5K2O ha-1 and unfertilized corn plants, respectively. Heavier ear weight and larger seed size were attained from treatment combination of PD 75 cm x 20 cm and FR of 200-100-100 kg NP2O5K2O kg ha-1 and PD – MDR and FR of 200-100-100 kg NP2O5K2O ha-1. Combination of PD (MDR) and FR 200-100-100 kg NP2O5K2O ha-1 obtained the highest shelling percentage of 93.23%. PD and FR significantly affected the agronomic fertilizer use efficiency (AFUE) of glutinous corn. Application of FR 200-100-100 kg NP2O5K2O ha-1 provided glutinous corn an increased in yield of 17.5% (PD 75 cm x 20 cm), 55% (PD 60 cm x 20 cm) and 105% (PD 80:30 cm x 20 cm) over FR 180-80-80 kg NP2O5K2O ha-1, FR 120-60-60 kg NP2O5K2O ha-1, and the unfertilized, respectively. Treatment combination of PD MDR and FR 200-100-100 kg NP2O5K2O ha-1 gave glutinous corn higher yield by 28.10% using the combination of PD 60 cm x 20 cm and FR 200-100-100 kg NP2O5K2O ha-1 and 29.53% using ...
Supporting Student Learning to Make the Most of Study Abroad
Authors: Namaste Nina , Namaste Paul
Published: November 2024

Spanish and French majors at our small, private, Southern U.S. liberal arts institution must study abroad for an entire semester, yet students embark and return with widely disparate levels of language and intercultural learning. To more fully foster learning-laden semester-long study abroad experiences we changed the curriculum and now majors take a three-semester sequence of courses before they leave, while abroad, and upon return. In this pilot study we assessed students’ intercultural competency using the Intercultural Development Inventory both pre- and post-study abroad experience. We also used their assignments to triangulate and contextualize the IDI scores. As a result of the data, we contend that intercultural learning a) must be scaffolded and supported throughout the entire language, cultures, and literatures curricula, and b) any results on indirect standardized scales need to be compared with direct assessments. Based on the data, we revised the three-course sequence to help students process their intercultural journey. Given the nature of the changing international education landscape, some implications, beyond our department, of the small pilot study are also provided.
Abstract in Spanish
En nuestra universidad privada en el sur de Estados Unidos es obligatorio que los estudiantes especialistas en español y francés estudien en el extranjero para un semestre entero (típicamente cuatro meses). A pesar de tal, estudiantes van y vuelven con niveles de idioma y aprendizaje intercultural muy desiguales. Para fomentar que los semestres en el extranjero fomentaran más aprendizaje, nuestro departamento cambió los requisitos para la especialización. Ahora necesitan tomar un curso antes de que vayan, un curso en línea mientras están en el extranjero y un curso al volver. En esta investigación evaluamos el desarrollo intercultural de los estudiantes usando el Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI), antes y después de sus estudios en el extranjero. También usamos sus tareas para verificar los resultados del IDI. Insistimos que el aprendizaje intercultural a) tiene que ser integrado durante toda la especialización y, b) los resultados de pruebas estandarizadas, como el IDI, se necesitan comparar con trabajos estudiantiles para comprobar tales resultados. Discutimos las modificaciones a los cursos que hicimos a base de este estudio e implicaciones que el estudio nos dio que pueden aplicar a otros departamentos e instituciones.

Authors: Goldoni Federica , Rusnak Stacy
Published: November 2024

International education has focused on the learning processes of minority, low-income college students and learners of color. This study analyzes the experiences of nine minority, first-generation U.S. undergraduates from a four-year college in the southeastern U.S. who pursued study abroad and Global Studies during 2015-2022. Global Studies is an enrichment opportunity offered to students to build their linguistic and intercultural competence. Closed-ended questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and course materials were collected. Canagarajah’s (2013) notion of transcultural practice, in conjunction with Kramsch’s (2009) concept of symbolic competence and Norton’s (1995) theory of investment were used to explore these students’ experiences while interacting with the target language and culture. The findings reveal how the student participants’ linguistic and sociocultural identities developed as they negotiated their different positionings. Students demonstrated a newfound meaning and symbolic value in the language and culture that they engaged with. Students’ reflections on issues of inclusiveness and social justice are discussed. 
Abstract in Spanish
La educación internacional se ha enfocado en los procesos de aprendizaje de los estudiantes universitarios de color de bajos ingresos. Este estudio analiza las experiencias de nueve estudiantes universitarios estadounidenses de primera generación, pertenecientes a minorías, de una universidad de cuatro años en el sureste de los EE. UU. Estos estudiantes realizaron estudios en el extranjero y “Global Studies” (Estudios Globales) durante el período 2015-2022. Global Studies es una oportunidad de enriquecimiento que se ofrece a los estudiantes para desarrollar su competencia lingüística e intercultural. Se recopilaron cuestionarios demográficos, entrevistas semiestructuradas y materiales del curso académico. La noción de práctica transcultural de Canagarajah (2013), junto con el concepto de competencia simbólica de Kramsch (2009) y la teoría de la inversión de Norton (1995) se utilizaron para explorar las experiencias de estos estudiantes mientras interactuaban con la lengua y la cultura extranjera. Los hallazgos revelaron que las identidades lingüísticas y socioculturales de los participantes se desarrollaron a medida que negociaban sus diferentes posiciones. Los estudiantes identificaron un nuevo significado y valor simbólico en el idioma y la cultura con los que interactuaron. Se discuten las reflexiones de los estudiantes sobre cuestiones de inclusión y justicia social.
New Frontiers: Fostering Students’ Critical Thinking in Science Through Virtual Mobility
Authors: Vermeulen Brittany , Pizzica Jenny , Renshaw Adrian , Reynolds Jason
Published: November 2024

Virtual mobility experiences provide a valuable option to enrich student learning and development from home. However, there is a lack of evidence of how these online experiences are leveraged in STEM and their potential positive effect on students’ critical thinking capabilities. This study explores and details the design of a short-term virtual program and its influence on science students’ critical thinking. The program focused broadly on agriculture through the lens of sustainability and the SDGs whereby students engaged in collaborative research, reflection and intercultural interaction and dialogue. Analysis of students’ learning journals and focus group responses suggest that students achieved the learning outcomes of the program related to critical thinking, nurturing students to think and potentially act differently while broadening students' personal understanding, connection, and confidence in relation to science. This paper discusses the experience from the perspective of the Australian undergraduate students.
Abstract in Spanish
Las experiencias de movilidad virtual ofrecen una opción valiosa para enriquecer el aprendizaje y desarrollo estudiantil desde casa. Sin embargo, existe una iclta de evidencia sobre cómo se aprovechan estas experiencias en línea en las áreas STEM y su potencial efecto positivo en las capacidades de pensamiento crítico de los estudiantes. Este estudio explora y detalla el diseño de un programa virtual a corto plazo y su influencia en el pensamiento crítico de los estudiantes de ciencias. El programa se centró ampliamente en la agricultura desde la perspectiva de la sostenibilidad y los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, donde los estudiantes participaron en investigación colaborativa, reflexión e interacción intercultural y diálogo. El análisis de los diarios de aprendizaje y las respuestas de grupos focales sugieren que los estudiantes lograron los resultados de aprendizaje del programa relacionados con el pensamiento crítico, fomentando que los estudiantes piensen y potencialmente actúen de manera diferente al ampliar su comprensión personal, conexión y confianza en relación con la ciencia. Este artículo discute la experiencia desde la perspectiva de estudiantes universitarios australianos (translation produced using AI).
Does International Service-Learning Deliver? A Study with Control Groups of One University's Experience with Canada's Queen Elizabeth Scholars Internship Program
Authors: Robinson Andrew , Ame Robert
Published: November 2024

This study assesses the extent to which a medium-term international service learning (ISL) project led by a Canadian university in partnership with sub-Saharan African universities achieves five objectives with respect to the interns: increasing local and global community engagement, activating leaders, developing global citizens, personal and professional growth, and enhancing Canadian and international networking. The study relies on 250 completed online surveys of alumni who graduated between 2012 and 2020. ISL alumni responses are controlled for BA-related maturation effects by comparison to alumni who did not participate in any International Educational Experiences (IEEs) and for selection bias by comparison to students who participated in other IEEs. The study finds that ISL promotes all five objectives, that it has net impacts vis-à-vis the BA alone for all objectives except leadership activation, and that it has net impacts vis-à-vis other forms of IEE with respect to community engagement activation, global knowledge, and development of problem-solving skills.
Abstract in French
Cette étude évalue dans quelle mesure un projet d'apprentissage par le service international (ISL) à moyen terme mené par une université Canadienne en partenariat avec des universités d'Afrique subsaharienne atteint cinq objectifs vis-à-vis des stagiare: accroître l'engagement communautaire local et mondial, activer les dirigeants, développer des citoyens du monde, croissance personnelle et professionnelle, et améliorer du réseautage canadien et international. L'étude s'appuie sur 250 sondages en ligne complétés auprès d'anciens élèves de 2012 à 2020. Les réponses des anciens élèves de l'ISL sont contrôlées pour les effets de maturation liés au BA par rapport aux anciens élèves qui n'ont participé à aucune expérience éducative internationale (IEE) et pour le biais de sélection par rapport aux étudiants qui ont participé à d'autres IEE. L'étude révèle que l'ISL promeut les cinq objectifs, qu'elle a des effets nets par rapport au BA seul pour tous les objectifs, à l'exception de l'activation qualités des dirigeants, et qu'elle semble avoir des effets nets par rapport aux autres formes d'IEE en ce qui concerne activation de l’engagement communautaire, aspects de la citoyenneté mondiale et développement de compétences en résolution de problèmes.
Abroad, on Campus, or Zoom: Comparing the Best Environments for Pragmalinguistic Awareness
Authors: Krauter Emily
Published: November 2024

The role of culture instruction in modern language classrooms has varied through the years, most recently presenting the option to learn virtually as opposed to on campus or abroad. The current study compares various learning environments of 49 participants (in-person, abroad, Zoom) to test the efficacy of targeted culture instruction through the analysis of a short film-clip. The research questions guiding this study are: 1) How effective are targeted pragmatic interventions in promoting intercultural communicative competency? 2) Do students studying abroad, online, or on the home-campus approach and complete pragmatic activities similarly? The results from these data suggest that the study away and Zoom participants engaged in the target culture in more meaningful ways than their at-home peers. This initial analysis indicates that short-term study abroad programs and Zoom learning provide environments that may encourage pragmalinguistic and cultural awareness in ways that differ from home-campus based courses, especially when coupled with in-class interventions.
Abstract in German
In den letzten Jahren hat sich die Rolle der Kulturpädagogik im Fremdsprachenunterricht geändert, insbesondere mit der Möglichkeit jetzt virtuell zu lernen statt auf dem Campus oder im Ausland. In der vorliegenden Studie werden die unterschiedlichen Lernumgebungen von 49 Teilnehmern (auf dem Campus, im Ausland, auf Zoom) verglichen, um die Wirksamkeit gezielter Kulturpädagogik durch die Analyse eines kurzen Filmclips zu testen. Folgende Forschungsfragen leiten diese Studie: 1) Wie wirksam sind gezielte pragmatische Interventionen in der Förderung interkultureller Kommunikationskompetenz? 2) Gehen Studenten im Ausland, online, oder auf dem Campus pragmatische Aktivitäten in ähnlicher Weise heran? Gibt es einen Unterschied in der Fertigstellung derselben Aktivitäten? Die Ergebnisse der Daten schlagen vor, dass sich die Teilnehmer im Ausland und auf Zoom auf eine bedeutendere Weise mit der Zielkultur auseinandersetzen als ihre Kommilitonen auf dem Heimatcampus. Diese erste Analyse deutet darauf hin, dass kurzfristige Auslandprogramme und Zoomlernen Umgebungen schaffen, die pragmalinguistisches (oder sprachliches?) und kulturelles Bewusstsein fördern, in Weisen, die sich von dem Unterricht auf dem Heimatcampus unterscheiden, vor allem wenn sie in Verbindung mit Interventionen im Unterricht stattfinden.

All Roads Leave from Florence? Exploring What Priority Students in a Florentine STSA Place on Academics?
Authors: Merle Patrick
Published: November 2024

This study, a survey of participants of a summer STSA in Italy, now the most common study abroad programs in the most popular geographical area, complemented with five in-depth interviews, sought to understand how students see their experiences and most specifically the importance of out-of-class traveling every weekend. Data revealed that students mainly intended to study abroad to travel to other European cities and use Florence as a home base independently of how many times students had previously traveled abroad. The main motivation to select the program had been to be to visit other places rather than focusing on course credits and worry about academics.
Abstract in French
Cette étude présente les conclusions de l'évaluation d’un programme académique de courte durée basé en Italie, pays désormais le plus prisé pour les études internationales. Une étude d’opinion complémentée par des entretiens avec des élèves a servi à comprendre comment les étudiants perçoivent leur expériences, et surtout quelle importance ils donnent aux voyages qu’ils peuvent faire les weekends. Les résultats ont révélé que les étudiants souhaitent étudier à l’etranger pour pouvoir voyager dans d’autres villes européennes et ainsi utiliser Florence comme leur base principale. Leur principale motivation de choisir le programme académique en question fut de visiter d’autres lieux plutôt que de se concentrer sur les demandes académiques et de s'inquiéter pour leur progrès.

Authors: Yaltirik Bilgin Ezel , Ünal Özkan , Çobanoğlu Bilgehan , Bilhan Yağmur
Published: November 2024

Objective: This study aims to present a rare case of spontaneous intracystic hemorrhage accompanied by subdural hematoma in a patient with an arachnoid cyst. Such complications can lead to increased intracranial pressure, neurological deficits, and herniation if left untreated.
Case Presentation: A 35-year-old female with a known arachnoid cyst in the left frontotemporal region, but no history of trauma, presented with severe left-sided headache. Contrast-enhanced brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed hemorrhagic layering within the arachnoid cyst and a late subacute subdural hematoma with a thickness of up to 2 cm, exhibiting hyperintense signals on T1-weighted and T2-weighted/FLAIR sequences. The hematoma was associated with subfalcine herniation. Computed tomography (CT) angiography showed no vascular abnormalities apart from increased vascularity near the hematoma. The patient was managed conservatively, and follow-up MRI at one week confirmed hematoma stability.
Conclusion: Spontaneous intracystic and subdural hemorrhages associated with arachnoid cysts are exceedingly rare and can occur without a history of trauma. This case highlights the importance of considering these complications in patients presenting with severe headaches and known arachnoid cysts. Radiological imaging should be planned for patients diagnosed with arachnoid cyst, especially those who present with headache complaints, even if they do not have a history of trauma. Early imaging with MRI and CT is crucial for diagnosis and management planning.

Authors: Dewi Dahlia Kesuma , Lubis Mohd. Koginta
Published: November 2024

This study aims to improve hygiene practices at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Swasta Insan Ikhlas Islamic School by implementing an environmentally-friendly, sensor-based Automatic Portable Sink (APS). Initial observations showed that the school’s hand-washing facilities did not meet health standards, particularly in terms of hygiene and contact reduction. The proposed solution is a no-touch APS designed to facilitate hygienic hand-washing and reduce bacterial spread among students. The method used includes socialization, guidance, and demonstration of APS usage in the school environment, with monitoring of students’ hygiene behavior changes. The results show that APS effectively raises awareness and improves hand-washing practices among students while contributing to a cleaner school environment. Additionally, this eco-friendly APS reduces soap waste that could otherwise pollute surrounding areas. This innovation is expected to be replicable in other educational institutions to support good sanitation practices and meet health standards in educational settings.
