Previous research has established that the perception of victim treatment is influenced by a number of factors such as socio-demographic characteristics, economic status of the people, prior victimization and so on. Against this background, a study was conducted to examine the factors influencing the perception of victim treatment by police and courts. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from a sample of 725 students from the city of Chennai (India) and 715 students from the city of Mito in Japan. The results revealed that while some of the factors such as gender, age, religion and community of the respondents have significantly influenced the perception of victim treatment, the effects of place of stay, nativity and income on the perception of victim treatment were not found to be significant.

Previous research has established that fear of crime victimization is a result of many factors including age, gender, race, income, neighbourhood variables, prior victimization and so on. The present research was conducted to test the following hypotheses: (1) fear of crime victimization is dependent on the country in which one lives; (2) socio-demographic characteristics affect fear of crime victimization; (3) economic status affects fear of crime victimization; and (4) prior experience of victimization affects fear of crime victimization. Using a structured questionnaire, constructed for the purpose, data were collected from a sample of 725 students from the city of Chennai (India) and 715 students from Mito City in Japan. The results of the study revealed that there was a difference in the level of fear of crime victimization between the respondents from India and Japan. Fear of crime victimization was influenced by some factors such as gender, age and the place of residence of respondents. In contrast to many previous studies relating to influence of prior victimization, it is puzzling to note that prior experience of crime victimization did not influence positively fear of crime victimization.

The mobility of university students abroad is a phenomenon of great importance in the context of globalization and internationalization of higher education. Certain factors, such as the image of the institution, the country, the city, the evaluation of the study program, the cost, selection processes and even personal resources can determine the destination country. This article seeks to identify the attraction factors for which Brazilian university students choose Spanish universities to carry out their higher education. An exploratory study of a qualitative nature was conducted, a semi-structured questionnaire applied to twenty-eight Brazilian students of official rank: graduation, master's degree and doctorate. Data analysis was based on the assessment of attraction factors. The results indicate that the language, the tradition of the Spanish universities, the scholarships of the country of origin and the more flexible selection processes are important factors in the decision of these subjects. Spain is an option for many international students and the flow of Brazilian students to this country is significant, the authors also consider that these flows may be much larger in the future.

Sociological analysis of indexes of institutional trust and indexes of development of civil society (structured interview, n = 2400, age of participants 18-70 years in six regions of Russia revealed the condition, problems and tendencies of development of the trust in regions, different by social-economic status. The generalized trust of Russian citizens corresponds to average level and less important than trust to surroundings and readiness to help to the people. We note in particular high level of the trust of Russians and potential cooperation with non-commercial organizations. During the research we revealed a number of factors influencing all types of the trust – generalized one, trust to the institutes of civil society – gender (women more often demonstrated trust, than men), type of place of residence (level of trust higher among rural inhabitants), material condition (rich respondents gave significantly higher values in all types of trust). Representations about importance of civic self-organization, sense of belonging to national, regional and local communities and sense of responsibility are positive characteristics of development of civil society. However, the level of civic activity is not so high (45%) and often reduces to one-time charity actions or membership in professional or local territorial unions. Values of indexes, connected with levels of the trust and civic activity considerably differ in different in social and economic status Russian regions.

Universities are as a means of leaving for the city for young people living increasingly precarious and mobile lives. This article explores how male university students (aged 18–25) talk about, and belong to, the places they inhabit in Greater Manchester, England. Drawing on mixed-methods data collection from survey responses and in-depth semi-structured interviews, this article finds that while young men embrace liquid understandings of place, they express tensions between “insiders” and “outsiders.” While universities appear to be significant places for male university students, only half the participants reported feelings of belonging to university communities. Consequently, this article proposes recommendations for universities, in order to ensure male university students feel they can open up to staff, thereby enabling them to feel part of a “learning community”—a key theme of the National Student Survey.

Factors Influencing

A large body of research shows that individual’s perceived sense of connectedness with his or her community has a robust association with health, well‐being, and productivity. However, little is known about the factors that might influence oneʹs community connectedness (CC). Three hundred university students from three higher education institutes responded to a selfadministered questionnaire that included demographic, behavioural and psychological measures such as (i) perceived community connectedness, (ii) depression and (iii) Internet addiction. Results revealed that there was a significant positive association of CC with age, number of siblings and SES and a significant negative association with Internet addiction and depression. Multiple regression found age, socio‐economic status (SES), Internet addiction and level of depression were the significant factors influencing participants’ CC [F (7, 292) = 26.406, p < .001, Adj. R2 = 0.373]. Findings are discussed in the light of existing literature. Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci. 26(2): 133-140, 2017 (July)

Introdução: O ritmo acelerado de vida dos professores em seu ambiente de trabalho, associado às múltiplas funções desempenhadas, conferem a essa categoria um elevado nível de esforço, sendo considerada uma das profissões com maior vulnerabilidade a problemas de saúde.Objetivo: Avaliar os motivos de não adesão à prática habitual de atividade física (PHAF) em professores da Educação Básica.Métodos: Estudo seccional, de abordagem qualitativa, com amostragem por conveniência composta por 193 docentes da cidade de Uberaba-MG. Foi desenvolvido um questionário estruturado para o estudo, constituído por perguntas sobre características sociodemográficas, de saúde e quanto aos motivos da não adesão à PHAF.Resultados: Todos os professores trabalhavam em duas escolas e ministravam, em média, 34 aulas por semana. O principal motivo para a não adesão à PHAF apontado foi a falta de tempo (78,2%), seguido de cansaço (8,8%), falta de ânimo (4,6%), dinheiro (3,6%), comodismo (2,0%), preguiça (1,5%) e falta de hábito (1,0%).Conclusão: A falta de tempo e os fatores secundários estão intimamente interligados e podem estar vinculados ao estresse relacionado à atividade docente afetando a motivação em praticar exercícios. Sugere-se que sejam realizados estudos longitudinais para que seja possível inferir causalidade quanto à associação de hábitos e comportamentos ativos dos professores com a falta de aderência à PHAF. Reasons for non-Adherence to Physical Exercise in Teachers of Basic Education: A Qualitative Sectional Study Introduction: The school work environment imposes on Brazilian teachers an accelerated pace of life, which combined with the multiple functions performed lead to high levels of effort.

A structured questionnaire was developed for the study, consisting of questions about socio-demographic characteristics, health, and reasons for non-adherence to PHAF.Results: All teachers worked in two schools and taught, on average, 34 classes per week. The main reason for not adhering to the PHAF was lack of time (78.2%), followed by fatigue (8.8%), lack of mood (4.6%), money (3.6%), (2.0%), laziness (1.5%) and lack of habit (1.0%).Conclusion: Lack of time and secondary factors are closely intertwined and may be linked to stress related to teacher activity affecting motivation in exercising. It is suggested that longitudinal studies be performed in order to infer causality regarding the association of teachers' active habits and behaviors with the lack of adherence to PHAF.
