The study aimed to compare health status and lifestyle i n university students. The participants were college students from health and physical Ed. majors (N = 195, Mean = 20.9, SD = 1.87) and population Ed. majors (N = 195, Mean = 2 1.73, SD = 0.93) in Chitwan. The Diagnostic Inventory of Health and Life habit (DIHAL.2) scale (Tokunaga, 2003) was administered to all participants. A one-way sample t-test was used to analyze the difference in both interdepartmental and gender effects. Results of t-test indicated that there were significantly difference in physical health, social health and life habit. Moreover, students majoring in health and physical education were scored lower on the mental health domain compared to the physical and social health domains. The practical implication of this study focused on finding the difference between the students who regularly exercised and those who did not, and considered the characteristics of gender.

The present study tries to find out the effect of speaking self-efficacy and gender in speaking activities particularly in English as second/foreign language situation, using questionnaire from Bandura’s Guide for constructing self-efficacy scales. The Samples of this study were 23 male and 27 female college-students from speaking classes.  ANOVA and T-test helped by SPSS 15.0 for windows were employed to investigate speaking self-efficacy, gender and speaking activities. The result showed that the level of speaking self-efficacy both male and female students is moderate. They can moderately perform speaking activities but they think them quite though and difficult. Besides, Sig. for gender scores lower than .05 (.013 < .05), gender gave significant effect towards speaking activities. Yet, not only speaking self-efficacy partially (Sig .162 > .05) but also its simultaneous interaction with gender (Sig .0677 > .05) did not affect significantly towards speaking activities.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the difference between values of College and Madrasha Students of Chittagong city. In order to attain this purpose two groups of respondents, one consisted of 50 college students (Male = 25, Female = 25) studying in Higher Secondary level and another consisted of 50 Madrasha students (Male = 25, Female = 25) studying in Alim level were selected. An adapted Bengali version of “Allport-Vernon-Lindzey study of values” was used to measure theoretical, economic, aesthetic, social, political and religious values of these students. The obtained data were subjected to t test. The analysis of results indicated that the value t for theoretical (4.288), aesthetic (2.610) and religious (2.85) values were significant at .05 level but the values of t for economic (1.40), social (0.217) and political (0.49) were not significant. The findings indicated that Madrasha students posses more theoretical & religious values than college students. While, college students are more aesthetic than Madrasha students. Significant difference does not exist between Madrasha students & College students in political, economic & social values. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cujbs.v6i1-2.17086 The Chittagong Univ. J. B.

The dispersion of aerosol boluses in the human lungs has been studied in health and disease, usually as a means of investigating convective mixing. However, there are limited data on the roles of critical factors, such as the volume of inhaled boluses, lung inflation, and gender on dispersion. To examine these factors, we measured the difference in volume variance between exhaled and inhaled boluses (sigma 2V) of a 0.5-micron aerosol in 11 healthy male and 12 healthy female subjects as a function of tidal volume (VT = 1,000 and 1,500 ml in females and 1,000 and 2,000 ml in males), bolus penetration volume (Vi at 250-ml increments over each VT), and bolus volume (target VBol = 75, 150, and 300 ml). Analysis of variance showed marginally significant gender effects (P = 0.073) on sigma 2V, with sigma 2V greater in males than in females. There was also a significant effect of VBol on sigma 2V (P < 0.001). A Vi-dependent mean volume shift between inhaled and exhaled boluses (delta V) was observed at all Vi except 500 ml. The observation of gender and VBol effects and the existence of a nonzero delta V suggest that convective mixing mechanisms other than longitudinal dispersion alone occur in the healthy lung. The lack of VT dependence suggests a minimal role of lung inflation above functional residual capacity on dispersion. The dependence of sigma 2V on Vi2 up to 1,750 ml and minimal VBol effects demonstrates that convective mixing processes continue far into the gas exchange regions of the lung and support a significant role for axial streaming.

Mathematical communication skills of college students can diverse depending on the learning model applied. The peer teaching model and CTL are alternative models that can be applied to improve mathematical communication skills. The difference in ability can not only be seen from the selection of the model but also gender. Gender is one of the factors that can be used as a benchmark in determining mathematical communication skills. This study aims to see there are differences in mathematical communication skills between male and female college students and whether or not there is an interaction between learning models and gender on college students' mathematical communication skills. The results showed that there were differences in mathematical communication skills between male and female students and there was not interaction between learning models and gender on college students' mathematical communication skills. Male college students are better able to communicate mathematical in written form in written text and mathematical expressions while female college students are better able to communicate in drawings.

The present study examined the inverse relationship between empathy (cognitive and affective) and forms of aggression (physical, verbal, anger and hostility). Previous research has continuously argued that empathy mitigates forms of aggression in individuals due to cognitive perspective taking and emotional sharing with others, that buffer hostile behaviour towards one another. However, there is a gap in the literature regarding this association in Greek culture. This correlational analysis examined empathy using the widely known multifaceted Davis Interpersonal Reactivity Index and aggression was explored using the multi-dimensional Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire in a sample of 92 Greek undergraduate college students from two private institutions in Athens, Greece. Gender effects on aggression and empathy levels were investigated as well. The results revealed that cognitive and emotional empathy indeed demonstrates a negative relationship with direct physical aggression. However, other forms of aggression such as verbal aggression, hostility and anger were positively associated with personal distress and Empathic fantasy majorly linked to Greek emotional regulation difficulties. Females displayed higher Empathic fantasy scores compared to males. A cultural perspective was adopted in exploring the results considering norms, gender roles, collective regulation capacities and societal conditioning, offering links to previous literature and theories.


This study aims to present evidence of gender variability among leaders of language change across different sociolinguistic variables, five phonological variables (a consonant and four vowels) and a discourse variable in Syrian Arabic, within the same speech community. Employing a sociolinguistic variationist approach and comparing children to adults yielded different gendered linguistic behavior. Children show the same dramatic gendered linguistic difference as adults regarding the variable (q), with males using much more rural [q] than urban [ʔ] than females. Regarding the vowel variables, children dramatize their gendered linguistic difference much more than adults; boys show much higher use of the rural vowels than girls compared to the difference between men and women. This pattern is reversed in the discourse variable (yaʕni) ‘that is/I mean’; the gendered linguistic difference is more dramatic among adults than it is among children, and gender effect diminishes in the linguistic distribution of the variable. This multidirectionality in gender effects bears implications for sociolinguistic variationist research. Variables indexed to urban refinement/prestige and social meanings such as femininity/masculinity are more likely to be led by females than males. Conversely, variables that lack these types of social/gender identification indexicality, regardless of whether they are phonological or discursive, do not follow the same pattern of leadership.

Abstract This research aimed to examine the correlation between religiosity and the academic procastination. This study also intended to reveal the difference of college student’s religosity and the academic procastination observed from gender, etnics, and programs of study. Purposive sampling was used in this study. The subjects of this study were college students in faculty of Dakwah dan Komunikasi. They were male and female which at least 2011 to 2013 of entering years. There were 185 colleges students involved in this research, 67 males and 118 females. The results of the Pearson Correlation Analysis indicated that there were a significant and negative correlation between religiosity and the the academic procastination. With ”r” scores was 0.410, and“p”< 0.01 was 0.000. The results of independent-sample t test also indicated that there were difference between religiosity and academic procastination observed from studies program. The religiosity of PMI program was the higher than others (KPI, BKI, MD and IKS). And the higher of academic procastination was the IKS program study. Key words: Religosity, Academic Procastination.
