The objective of the study was to analyze disease incidence and prevalence rates among university students in the city of Kaliningrad. Materials and methods. We analyzed morbidity among first to fifth year students of a civil (No. 1) and two military universities (Nos. 2 and 3) including its structure per 1,000, trends, annual incidence and prevalence rates among local and nonresident students. Results and discussion: The overall prevalence rates were higher in the military universities (1,474.9 ± 14.5 ‰ and 930.4 ± 5.2 ‰ in Nos. 2 and 3, respectively) than in the civil one (802.1 ± 10.3 ‰). In universities Nos. 1 and 3, the prevalence rates of diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue were similar while the rates of diseases of the genitourinary system were higher than those in university No. 2. We observed a higher disease prevalence rate among unacclimated students: the smaller was their percentage, the lower was the overall rate. In the universities 1–3 the prevalence rates in local and nonresident students were 779.1 ± 11.8 ‰ and 918.9 ± 17.0 ‰ (p = 0.000), 921.5 ± 13.5 ‰ and 1,548.1 ± 16.9 ‰ (p = 0.000), and 719.5 ± 12.7 ‰ and 906.2 ± 9.6 ‰ (p = 0.000), respectively. The nonresident students of the civil university were healthier: their prevalence rates of diseases of the eye and adnexa, mental and behavioral disorders, and diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue were, respectively, 2.8, 1.9 and 4.2 times lower than those in non-local students of the military establishments. Conclusions. Respiratory diseases and diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue generally prevailed among the students. The excess of the upper limit of the annual incidence rate in the same seasons and months of the year proves the role of body resistance in disease pathogenesis. The observed disease rates were higher in the military universities than in the civil one due to the specific features of nutrition, accommodation, and the educational process (curricula, indoor and outdoor classes at the training ground). The analysis of morbidity rates among students of each year is essential for the development of efficient preventive measures. General measures shall include ways and means of boosting the immune system as well as proper sanitary and hygienic conditions of students’ accommodation and learning facilities.

The primary objective of this research was to study the differences in positive traits between military and civilian college students and between cadets in their first and final years at a military academy. Second, the research aimed to study the relations between positive traits and the academic and military performance of cadets in their first and final years, according to the classification of positive traits by Peterson and Seligman (2004). To accomplish these objectives, a sample of university students from a military educational institution and a sample of civilian university students were studied. The instruments used were a 24-item self-report measure of positive traits, a measure of social desirability, and objective scores of academic and military performance. The results generally showed that when age and career stage were held constant, the scores of the military students were higher than the scores of the civilian students across various strengths. Military students reported higher levels of the character strength of spirituality than did civilian students. The relationships between strengths and performance differed for students in their first and final years at the military academy. In particular, cadets with the higher levels of academic or military performance in their last year, i.e., the cadets best adapted to the academy, reported higher levels of the character strength of persistence when compared to low-performing cadets in the same year of study.

Cross-national analysis of aggregate data has found a relationship between the military participation ratio and national economic growth rates and distributional inequality. This article examines one aspect of this macro-micro linkage by investigating the relationship between acculturation in the military and the attitudes and behavior of the most strategic sector of the Peruvian labor force. Military service retards the development of social consciousness among the working class, reduces their protest participation, and eases their integration into the hierarchy and discipline of the industrial work place. These findings suggest that military socialization may indeed affect growth rate by reducing worker-management and worker-state conflict. On the other hand, it would seem equally likely that the conservative effect of military acculturation contributes to increased inequality of income.

Almost every day our newspapers feature accounts of student ferment on one or another of the university campuses in both the “developed” and “developing” nations around the globe. University students appear to have become extremely active in recent years in attempting to influence policy decisions taken by both administrators of higher education and government officials. In Brazil, however, such student political activism is clearly not just a recent phenomenon. While Brazilian university students have played an increasingly important role in national politics since World War II, most recently in their outspoken opposition to the military-dominated governments of the late Castello Branco and that of President Artur Costa e Silva, they enjoy an important tradition of student political activism that cannot be overlooked. In fact, accepting the suggestions made with real insight by E. Wight Bakke regarding the causes of student activism, we find that an examination of the student tradition in Brazil helps to explain current student agitation.

Destacam-se, neste trabalho, as atuações de dois jornais produzidos pelos estudantes da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPa): O Papagaio (1967) e Nanico (1979). Os universitários encontraram, nesta imprensa, uma forma de tornar públicas as perseguições sofridas dentro do campus do Guamá, envolvendo professores e estudantes considerados subversivos. Nas páginas dessa imprensa havia também a negação da concepção bancária de educação (FREIRE, 2011), que deformava a criatividade educacional.

The performance of two newspapers elaborated by the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) students are highlighted: O Papagaio (1967) and  Nanico (1979). The university students found, in this press, a way of making the persecutions suffered in the Guamá campus, involving students and professors considered subversive, known. In the pages of this press there was also the denial of the education bank conception (FREIRE, 2011) which deformed the educational creativity.

The article highlights the features of the living conditions of St. Vladimir University students during 1834-1863 years. The types of the housing of two main groups of students (who were educated and maintained by the state and from charitable givings and students who studied at their own expense) are analyzed in the article. A lot of attention was paid to the living conditions of students who were educated from state budget money. The location of the houses and estates in which they lived was defined in the article. It also was found that the living conditions of students who were educated and maintained by the state had a proper level of housing and were generally comfortable for them to live. At the same time, these types of dormitories for poor students were specially designed as a form of control with strict regulation of their everyday life. The habitats of students who were educated and maintained by the state were comfortable for students living and had a proper level of living conditions in general. At the same time, these habitats served as a form of control over university students. The habitats of students who studied at their own expense were significantly different in terms of living conditions. They usually rented accommodation from Kyiv burghers. Typically students rented one room for a few of them because it was cheaper. The poorest students of the university lived in uninhabited rooms (basements, attics). Often, poor living conditions caused a negative impact on students' health and learning progress. Students usually settled near university buildings and formed a compact quarter, mostly inhabited by university students. At the initial stage of the university existence (1834-1842), the students' dwellings were mainly located at Lypky and Pechersk, near the university's leased buildings. During the next period (1842-1863), students mostly settled not far from the main building of the university (red building) or near other buildings of the university, for example, near the anatomical theatre or the military hospital. The features of living conditions of students (heating, lighting, water supply, sanitary and hygienic conditions) are also described in the publication. These factors were very important in shaping student everyday life and influenced the creation of a special students’ lifestyle.
