Abstract This paper explores the conceptions of grammar of first-year teacher students (N = 235) in Norway. A conventional content analysis is used to analyse the answers from the first part of a survey exploring the teacher students’ views of grammar through the following questions: Q1. How would you define the term grammar? Q2. Do you think grammar is an important part of Norwegian as a school subject? Q3. Do you feel confident in grammar? The second part of the survey is a grammar knowledge test. The results show that most students define grammar as writing correctly. Many answers also refer to language structure. Among the less frequent definitions are: theoretical knowledge of language structure, precise communication, text, and constituent analysis. Nearly all students report that they consider grammar important. Moreover, most consider their own grammar competence to be relatively good. However, there is a discrepancy between this self-evaluation and the results from the knowledge test, which are quite poor. Our study contributes to the body of research on teacher students’ conception of grammar, which, in a Norwegian context, has been unexplored. We discuss our findings in the light of national and international literature, and we propose plausible contributing factors. We also reflect upon possible consequences for teacher education.

This study shows the hierarchy of values presented by first-year teacher training students studying at public universities in Andalusia (Spain), emphasising the analysis of ecological values in relation to the gender variable. For this purpose, we used a survey-type methodology with a quantitative approach. Participants were selected by means of probability sampling by clusters. The sample was finally composed of 651 students, of whom 226 were men (34.7%) and 425 women (65.3%) aged between 18 and 49 (M = 20.20 and T.D. = 3.736). The results show a high valuation of non-material aspects related to affectivity, morality, the individual and ecology, followed by values related to the body and its care, the social, the material and the aesthetic, and finally, values related to the intellectual, the political and the religious. The results show the influence of gender in the identification of ecological values and the variables that make them up, where women have higher averages in most of the items. We can therefore conclude that the gender variable influences the choice of ecological values presented by university students.

SUMMARYThe body-temperature of the following fishes, crustaceans, and echinoderms has been examined and compared with the temperature of the water in which they live:—Cod-fish (Gadus morrhua), ling (Molva vulgaris), torsk (Brosmius brosme), coal-fish or saithe (Gadus virens), haddock (Gadus œgelfinus), flounder (Pleuronectes flesus), smelt (Osmerus eperlanus), dog-fish (Scyllium catulus), shore crab (Carcinus mœnas), edible crab (Cancer pagurus), lobster (Homarus vulgaris), sea-urchin (Echinus esculentus), and starfish (Asterias rubens). The minimum, maximum, and mean temperature difference for each species are given in the following table:—The excess of temperature is most evident in the larger specimens. This is well shown in the case of the coal-fish, where in the adult it was 0°·7 C., and in the great majority (11 out of 12) of the young of the first year, 0°·0 C. The body-weight and the conditions under which the fish are captured probably form the most important factors in determining the temperature difference.In 14 codfish, where the rectal, blood, and muscle temperatures were recorded in the same individual, it was found to be highest in the muscle and lowest in the rectum, the mean temperature difference being 0°·46 C. for the muscle, 0°·41 C for the blood, and 0°·36 C. for the rectum.

Hiv Aids

As HIV/AIDS continues to spread and affect the lives of millions of people, a sense of urgency has developed about the imperative need to stop the epidemic. Education is the key to change knowledge, attitudes and behaviour. There is currently a gap in educationprogrammes targeting youths of ages 18-24 years, for example, those enrolled in tertiary institutions. The aim of the study was therefore to establish the level of HIV/AIDS awareness among undergraduate pharmacy students at the University of Limpopo (Medunsa Campus)/ Tshwane University of Technology Schools of Pharmacy. A structured questionnaire was administered to pharmacy students on entry to the programme. Although the students of 2003, 2004 and 2005 obtained mean percentage HIV/AIDS awareness scores in the range of 70%-80%, they had inadequate knowledge of some transmission routes, events that occur when HIV invades the body, the “window period” and some symptoms. These knowledge gaps should be addressed by universities by integrating HIV/AIDS policies and education fully into all aspects of their planning, operations andteaching.

[Background] Recent studies have consistently shown that medical students experience a high rate of psychological symptoms. In this situation, teaching mindfulness in medical school has the potential to prevent student burnout. However, there are few consistent educational programs in medical schools throughout Japan.[Method] Since 2015, Showa University (Tokyo) has practiced an intensive self-care program based on mindfulness for 600 first-year healthcare professional students in the schools of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, and rehabilitation. The target objectives of this program were as follows: understand the needs of self-care, enhance self-awareness, evaluate evidence of mindfulness for mental diseases, and practice formal/informal mindfulness-based activities. This program consisted of a 90-minute lecture, followed by consecutive reflective activities, including completing personal journals and portfolios. The students were required to plan how to make use of what they learned in this course. The students were asked to complete a questionnaire upon completion of the course.[Results] The questionnaire indicated that more than 90% of the students were satisfied with the program, and about 25% started regular mindfulness-based practices such as meditation and breathing methods aimed to reduce test anxiety. Descriptions from the e-portfolio showed that the participants understood evitable stressors and the importance of the body-mind relationship.[Conclusion] Mindfulness-based self-care education can encourage healthcare students to understand the necessity of self-care during the early stages of their professional training. This program for the first year students will be followed by a course on Professionalism for healthcare professional students during their subsequent years of university education.

  El presente artículo analiza los valores del cuerpo de 536 estudiantes de 1º Bachillerato en Castilla y León en el curso 2017/18 en función de sus variables de perfil sexo, modalidad de bachillerato, naturaleza, titularidad y provincia de pertenencia del centro de estudios. El objetivo es describir tendencias generales asociadas a dichas variables de perfil. El instrumento de medida es el test elaborado por Casares y Collados (1998) que clasifica en 10 los valores del cuerpo en base a 250 ítems agrupados en bloques de 25. El tratamiento de datos se lleva a cabo mediante un análisis de valores medios. Los resultados obtenidos son mostrados en forma de tablas de puntuaciones, gráficos y representaciones jerárquicas. Se calculan estadísticos descriptivos y estadística inferencial. Se observan diferencias estadísticamente significativas asociadas a la variable de perfil sexo y, secundariamente, provincia de pertenencia del centro de estudios. Asimismo, destaca el valor placer como el más agradable en todas las clasificaciones y el valor religioso el menos, exceptuando lo ocurrido en Soria donde se torna incluso positivo. Todo ello describe la realidad en que los estudiantes de 1º bachillerato conciben su cuerpo y le conceden su valor, lo que abre nuevos flancos críticos en la educación a través de los valores del cuerpo.  Abstract. This article analyzes the body values of 536 First Year Bachillerato students in the Castilla y León region of Spain during the academic year 2017/18 according to their special characteristics such as gender, Bachillerato option, personality, qualifications and province administering the educational establishment they attend. The aim is to describe general trends associated with these profile variables. The instrument of measurement is the test devised by Casares and Collados (1998), which divides body values into 10 categories. It is based on 250 items classified into 10 groups of 25 defining the body values. Data processing is carried out through an analysis of average values. The results obtained are shown in the form of score tables, graphs and hierarchical representations. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics are calculated. Significant differences associated to the variable of gender profile and, secondarily, province of belonging to the study center are highlighted. Likewise, the pleasure value stands out as the most pleasant in all classifications and the religious value the least, except for what happened in Soria where it becomes even positive. The procedure of preferred values ratifies the pleasure value as the most pleasant, however the religious value is rarely the least preferred. All this describes the reality in which the students of the 1st baccalaureate conceive their body and give it their value, which opens new critical flanks in education through the values ​​of the body.

Metabolism is the natural process of the body, which is necessary to maintenance of the homeostasis of an individual person. Everybody constitutions are always in the process of metabolism, which is a combination of Anabolism (Construction) and Catabolism (Deterioration). As Agni is prime factor for all the Chayapachayakriya. Medoroga, is one of the Metabolic disease, in which contributing factors are Agni, Ama along with Kaphapradhana Tridosha, Medodhathu. Due to various types of etiological factors, the Agni in the body gets vitiated and Jatharagnimandya occurs. By this Jatharagnimandya, Dhathuparinama will not occur properly. This will lead to Medoroga and further many other Upadravas. To correct these conditions, Ayurveda has many modes of therapies like Samshodhana, Samshamana. By these we can correct the metabolism from the root cause. Here 40 Subjects diagnosed with Medoroga w.s.r. to Hyperlipidemia fulfilling the Inclusion criteria were selected for study and randomly categorized into two groups as Group A and Group B each consisting of 20 subjects. For both groups Amapachana with Chitrakadi Vati, Sadhyosnehapana with Murchita Sarshapa Taila, Sarvanga Abhyanga with Murchita Tila Taila followed by Swedana. And Virechana was administered with Virechana Gulika. Than each group received two different Shamanoushadhi. So, the objective of the study is to establish the efficacy of Virechana along with Dashanga Guggulu and Virechana along with Shadushana Guggulu in the management of Medoroga.
