Abstract Background A majority of women from all cultures and socioeconomic levels experience myriad symptoms known as premenstrual syndrome during the days prior to menstruation. The present study investigated commonly reported symptoms in the premenstrual phase among college students. The authors further scrutinized potential factors, including subjective perceptions of health, which may be related to the premenstrual-symptom constellation. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey, which included 200 participants (mean age: 19.8 ± 0.1 years old). The subjects completed a rating of their premenstrual experiences relative to 46 symptoms in eight categories of the self-reporting menstrual distress questionnaire (MDQ) to evaluate the prevalence and severity of premenstrual symptoms. The participants also answered a standardized health questionnaire regarding subjective perceptions of health, self-rating stress, lifestyle, and demographic variables. Results Regardless of severity, the 10 symptoms most often occurring among the participants included skin disorders, irritability, fatigue, mood swings, general aches and pains, lowered school or work performance, backache, painful breasts, weight gain, and swelling. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed subjective perception of health (β = 0.28; p <  0.001) and self-rating stress (β = 0.18; p = 0.008) as the factors most strongly related to the MDQ total scores. In addition, the 19 women who evaluated themselves as “unhealthy and stressed” had greater prevalence of severe or extremely severe physical (general aches and pains) and psychosocial symptoms (confusion, lowered school or work performance, decreased efficiency, loneliness, anxiety, restlessness, mood swings, and depression), compared to the healthy and non-stressed women. Conclusions The present study indicates the prevalence of premenstrual symptoms, regardless of severity and number, among college students and suggests that negative subjective perceptions of health and stress may be related to the intensity of premenstrual symptomatology.

This paper is a subjectivity study to grasp the subjectivity of nursing students' adaptation to college life, describe characteristics of each type, and to grasp the typology of college life adaptation program experiences, and apply the Q. into 45 statements about their experiences in adapting to college life. For the statement, 45 sentences extracted from the literature and the sentence collected through interviews of college students were reviewed by two major professors, two doctoral students, and five nursing students. The collected data were analyzed for Q factors using the PQ method. As a result of  this  study, the analysis of college life adaptation programs experienced by nursing students was divided into three types. The three types of nursing college students' experience of adapting to college life are “Career Exploration”, “Information Acquisition Necessary for Adaptation” and “Sense of belonging and accomplishment” . It is a feeling of belonging and a sense of achievement. This aims to help nursing students explore their experiences in college life adaptation programs, and various college life adaptation programs are continuously needed for college students to adapt to college life. Therefore, we intend to check the subjective perception of students who have experienced the adaptation program in college life and provide basic data for the development and operation of diverse and changing programs through differences in perception among individuals.

The speech-to-song illusion is a type of auditory illusion that the repetition of a part of a sentence would change people&rsquo;s perception tendency from speech-like to song-like. The study aims to examine how pace, emotion, and language tonality affect people&rsquo;s experience of the speech-to-song illusion. It uses a between-subject (Pace: fast, normal, vs. slow) and within-subject (Emotion: positive, negative, vs. neutral; language tonality: tonal language vs. non-tonal language) design. Sixty Hong Kong college students were randomly assigned to one of the three conditions characterized by pace. They listened to 12 audio stimuli, each with repetitions of a short excerpt, and rated their subjective perception of the presented phrase, whether it sounded like a speech or a song, on a five-point Likert-scale. Paired-sample t-tests and repeated measures ANOVAs were used to analyze the data. The findings reveal that a faster speech pace could strengthen the tendency of the speech-to-song illusion. Neither emotion nor language tonality show a statistically significant influence on the speech-to-song illusion. This study suggests that the perception of sound should be in a continuum and facilitates the understanding of song production in which speech can turn into music by having repetitive phrases and to be played in a relatively fast pace.

Introducción: El fuerte deterioro en las condiciones sociales de los jóvenes españoles, agravado a raíz de la crisis económica, ha generado cambios profundos en sus comportamientos sociales, destacando la aparición de un discurso migratorio que afecta principalmente a aquellos que se encuentran más cualificados. Así, las elevadas cifras de desempleo que viene experimentando España en los últimos años, han generado que el país pase de registrar una entrada masiva de inmigrantes extranjeros a convertirse nuevamente en un país generador de emigración, lo mismo que había sido en el transcurso de la mayor parte del siglo XX. El objetivo del presente artículo es aportar conocimiento empírico acerca de cómo los jóvenes universitarios españoles que han emigrado en los últimos años, redefinen sus espacios vitales a lo largo de sus procesos migratorios, y qué factores influyen en esa redefinición.Método: Para tratar de responder a este objetivo de investigación, se han realizado veinte entrevistas en profundidad a jóvenes universitarios españoles que han emigrado al extranjero, con el objeto de producir los relatos de vida sobre sus experiencias migratorias. Para el análisis de la información se ha utilizado la Grounded Theory.Resultados: Mediante la utilización de la Grounded Theory se han tipificado tres categorías discursivas denominadas: nativofobia (enfatización del aquí y ahora), nativofilia (idealización del allí y antes) y adaptación mixta (fluctuación entre diversas lealtades a los nuevos espacios culturales con los que entran en contacto a raíz de su proceso migratorio), que permiten explicar las modificaciones acontecidas en las subjetividades de estos jóvenes, al trascender los espacios de partida y entrar en relación con los nuevos espacios de vida que se encuentran.Conclusión: Se concluye que en el transcurso de sus procesos migratorios los jóvenes reconstruyen constantemente sus percepciones y estrategias de adaptación, debido a la interacción social que se produce en los múltiples contextos propios de dichos procesos. Introduction: The sharp deterioration of young Spaniards' social condition, aggravated by the financial crisis, has provoked deep changes in their social behavior and, especially, the emergence of a migration discourse which affects mostly those with the highest qualifications. Thus, the high unemployment rates that Spain is suffering in the last years have made the country to go from receiving a massive influx of immigrants to, once again, being a focus of emigration, like it was for much of the 20th century. The goal of the present paper is to provide empirical knowledge about how Spanish college students that have emigrated in the last years redefine their vital space preferences throughout the migration process, as well as what elements have an influence in said redefinition.Method: In order to meet the goal of this research, twenty young college students which have emigrated were interviewed in depth, with the aim of elaborating an account of their migration experiences. A method known as 'Grounded Theory' was used for the analysis of the information.Results: Said method has been used to classify the discourses in three categories: nativephilia (an emphasis on the 'here and now'), nativephobia (an idealization of the 'there and before'), and mixed adaptation (a fluctuation between various degrees of loyalty to the new cultural space with which they have made contact due to the migration process). Said categories allow to explain the changes that occurred in these students subjective perception of the world, going beyond their starting places and linking them to the new space in which they are now.Conclusion: We can conclude that young Spaniards are constantly redefining their perception of the world and their adaptation strategies throughout the migration process, due to the social interactions they experience in the variety of contexts typical of said processes.

Purpose The purpose of this clinical focus article is to provide speech-language pathologists with a brief update of the evidence that provides possible explanations for our experiences while coaching college students with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Method The narrative text provides readers with lessons we learned as speech-language pathologists functioning as cognitive coaches to college students with TBI. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list, but rather to consider the recent scientific evidence that will help our understanding of how best to coach these college students. Conclusion Four lessons are described. Lesson 1 focuses on the value of self-reported responses to surveys, questionnaires, and interviews. Lesson 2 addresses the use of immediate/proximal goals as leverage for students to update their sense of self and how their abilities and disabilities may alter their more distal goals. Lesson 3 reminds us that teamwork is necessary to address the complex issues facing these students, which include their developmental stage, the sudden onset of trauma to the brain, and having to navigate going to college with a TBI. Lesson 4 focuses on the need for college students with TBI to learn how to self-advocate with instructors, family, and peers.

Eight college students enrolled in group therapy for stuttering were divided into two equal groups for 20 weeks. The training group supplemented therapy with endurance running and calisthenics three days per week. The subjects were tested prior to and at the conclusion of the training on a battery of stuttering tests and cardiovascular measures taken at rest, after stuttering, and after submaximal exercise. There were no significant differences (0.05 level) prior to training. At the conclusion of training, the training group was significandy better in cardiovascular response to exercise and stuttering. Although physical training did not significantly aid the reduction of stuttering as measured in this study, training did cause an increased ability to adapt physiologically to physical stress and to the stress of stuttering.

Seventy-two college students were divided into three groups: Button Push-Speech (BP-S), Speech-Button Push (S-BP), and Control. BP-S subjects pushed one of two buttons on signal for 8 min. During the last 4 min, depression of the criterion button caused a buzzer to sound. After the button-push task, subjects spoke spontaneously for 30 min. During the last 20 min, the buzzer was presented contingent upon each disfluency. S-BP subjects were run under the same procedures, but the order of button-push and speech tasks was reversed. Control subjects followed the same procedures as S-BP subjects, but no buzzer signal was presented at any time. Both S-BP and BP-S subjects emitted significantly fewer disfluencies during the last 20 min (Conditioning) than during the first 10 min (Baserate) of the speaking task. The frequency of disfluencies for Control subjects did not change significantly from Baserate to Conditioning. In none of the three groups did the frequency of pushes on the criterion button change significantly from minute to minute throughout the 8-min button-push session.

Thirty-two college students were required to learn the relevant dimension in each of two randomized lists of auditorily presented stimuli. The stimuli consisted of seven pairs of CV nonsense syllables differing by two relevant dimension units and from zero to seven irrelevant dimension units. Stimulus dimensions were determined according to Saporta’s units of difference. No significant differences in performance as a function of number of the irrelevant dimensions nor characteristics of the relevant dimension were observed.

Studies have investigated the applications of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy in the treatment of hypernasality due to velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD; Cahill et al., 2004; Kuehn, 1991; Kuehn, Moon, & Folkins, 1993; Kuehn et al., 2002). The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of CPAP therapy to reduce hypernasality in a female subject, post-traumatic brain injury (TBI) and pharyngeal flap, who presented with signs of VPD including persistent hypernasality. Improvements in mean velopharyngeal orifice size, subjective perception of hypernasality, and overall intelligibility were observed from the baseline to 8-week post-treatment assessment intervals. Additional long-term assessments completed at 2, 3, and 4 months post-treatment indicated decreases in immediate post-treatment improvements. Results from the present study suggest that CPAP is a safe, non-invasive, and relatively conservative treatment method for reduction of hypernasality in selected patients with TBI. More stringent long-term follow up may indicate the need for repeated CPAP treatment to maintain results.
