In the second year of the COVID-19 epidemic in the Southeast Asia (SE) regions, there is a plan to reopen the school, including the campus. Among students in Indonesia, college students have a population of almost 8.3 million. Considering the massive numbers of college students, school reopening should be supported by adequate COVID-19 vaccination. As a result, the first dose of the inactivated virus COVID-19 vaccine has been administered, including to college students aged over 18 years old. While COVID-19 vaccination is widely available, there is still a scarcity of information on post-vaccination symptoms. As reported from other locations, post vaccination has been reported. Then, this study aims to assess the common symptoms of COVID-19 1st dose vaccinations among the following groups: gender (male and female college students), age, body weight, and height. The observed symptoms include sore arms, fatigue, headache, fever with a body temperature above 38 oC, nausea, shivering, and muscle joint pain. Participants in this study were students at the university. They were considered eligible for this study if they were currently enrolled at university, were at least 19 years of age, and provided informed consent. The data was recorded using a standardized online questionnaire. The answers were collected in an online database. At the beginning of the questionnaire, subjects or students were informed that data would be collected anonymously. Based on the results, the symptoms were different between female and male students. In fact, female students have experienced more symptoms than male students. While male students only suffered sore arms (68%) followed by headache symptoms (32%). Similar to male students, sore arms are the most common symptom observed among female students. Among female students, from the most to the least common symptoms observed from 20 years of age in this study are sore arms at site reaction > headache > fatigue > fever > muscle joint pain > shivering > nausea. A higher risk of presenting fatigue and headache symptoms was found in those with a non-overweight status with weight ranges of 50-60 kg.

The ten participants consist of five male and five female students who came from different kinds of University in Indonesia. In this study, the researcher used a descriptive qualitative method to analyze the data by using a video recorder as an instrument to collect the data. The result of this research showed that there were four sources of errors which influenced male and female students in producing IL errors on pronunciation. Those were L1 transfer, different form of plural between L1 and L2, the existence of sounds with the same phonetic features but different in distribution, and English foreign sounds. The second result described that the source of errors on male and female college students was mostly similar, and they had no significant differences.

Biotin enzymes such as pyruvate carboxylase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase are involved with the most basic metabolism. Thus, it is very important to monitor the biotin nutritional status for maintaining good health. We examined urinary excretion and the intake of biotin in a Japanese sample population of 60 boys and 36 girls (10-12 y), 37 male and 135 female college students (18-27 y), and 35 female elderly persons (70-84 y) living freely. All food consumed, and the corresponding weighing, for 4 consecutive days were recorded. A 24-hour urine sample was collected on the fourth day, and the urine biotin was measured. The urine biotin at the fourth day was 57.8, 50.9, 81.0, 66.2, and 82.3 nmol/day in boys, girls, male students, female students, and elderly persons, respectively. The average intake of biotin for 4 consecutive days was 35, 31, 28, 26, and 32 μg/day in boys, girls, male students, female students, and elderly persons, respectively.

Objective The outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused considerable public health problems. Departing from the case of COVID-19, this paper aims to not only find out the psychological impacts of the changes in universities’ educational programs on undergraduate students in Turkey but also make a scientific contribution to determining what kinds of supports can be given to university students in other possible social catastrophes that could take place in any future time. Material- Methods 1117 university students over the age of 17 from 23 universities  took part in this study by completing the online questionnaire we prepared on the Internet. The relationship between university students’ stress and anxiety levels and their age, gender and class year were examined. Result While average BAI scores of male students were 11.56, female students’ average BAI scores were 16.65. Average STAI-1 points of male and female students were 46,71 and 49,04, respectively. As a result, it was found that there were significant differences between BAI and STAI-1 scores of male and female students.(p<0.05) Conclusion ''Our study found that more than two/three of the  university students suffered from anxiety symptoms during the COVID-19 outbreak.'. In this regard, it can said that university students should learn to deal with such mental and emotional problems as stress, anxiety and fear, which more likely require psychological and physical effort, by taking necessary measures during important social catastrophes such as Covid-19 outbreak.

The purpose of this study was to explore the gender-specific mental stress model of violent injuries among Chinese college students. A cross-sectional, multistage sampling process was employed to recruit a total of 5025 college students from 22 universities in China. Survey respondents reported their exposure to violent injuries and noted individual and environmental factors that could relate to violent injuries. Both unadjusted and adjusted statistical methods were used to examine the relationships between selected individual and environmental variables with violent injuries among male and female college students. The overall prevalence of violent injuries among male and female college students in this study was 4.40% (95% CI [0.10%, 7.80%]) and 5.20% (95% CI [0.05%, 10.35%]). The study found that higher mental stress (OR: 3.32), lower level universities (OR: 5.99), and family location in rural areas (OR: 4.00) were associated with a higher likelihood of violent injuries, and mothers employed as professionals (OR: 0.07) was associated with lower prevalence of violent injuries among male students. Unlike male students, mental stress and mothers’ occupation were not associated with violent injuries among female students. University type was also associated with violent injuries but this association was inverted (OR: 0.06) among female students. This study found gender-specific relationships affecting violent injuries among college students in China. Prevention strategies need to be developed in consideration of gender influences and should be enacted to reduce the negative impact of violent injuries on society and personal health in China.

Domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) is modern-day slavery of children and the commercial sexual abuse of children through buying, selling, or trading their sexual services.  DMST is a form of child abuse.  The victim can be any person of nationality, age, socioeconomic status, or gender. In America, throughout college campuses, a lot of students are not informed of domestic minor sex trafficking. When thinking about domestic minor sex trafficking, most people do not think that this crime happens in our country, better yet our state of Arkansas. The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of college students attending the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff on domestic minor sex trafficking in our country and in our state of Arkansas (a crime that is growing aggressively in the United States). Fifty participants who were students attending the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff participated in the study. Participants consisted of male and female students between the ages of 18 to 25 (N = 30 Females; N = 20 Males). Survey data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel software. Participants responded to ten yes or no descriptive questions about domestic minor sex trafficking (e.g., Questions like: have you heard about domestic minor sex trafficking; and do you think child sex trafficking is an organized crime). The data yielded both quantitative and qualitative results. Results showed that female students were more knowledgeable and were more aware of DMST than males. Implications for interventions will be discussed. Further research also is suggested.

The study aims at studying gender differences in the ways male and female students take turns and participate in a mixed-gender classroom. Two groups of first-year English compulsory classes held at two different departments (Geography and Economics) at the University of Karachi took part in the study. The results revealed that in the Geography Department, where there was a female teacher, male students were more dominating as compared to the female students who hardly participated in the class. They took more turns and participated better in the classroom discussion. In addition, they also interrupted the teacher and the female counterparts when they tried to contribute to the discussion. On the other hand, at the Department of Economics, female students had more number of turns. They dominated the classroom as compared to the male students. Besides, the study revealed that the gender of the teacher played an important part in shaping the discourse taking place in the classroom.
