Transmission Speed

The network plays more and more important role in contemporary university students’ study and life. By the virtue of large capacity of information, wide coverage, high transmission speed, non-restriction of time and space, the internet has become an important tool of students’ autonomous learning. What’s more, because the university learning is relatively relaxed, students have more free time to arrange. Therefore, training students’ independent learning ability becomes more and more important. In this paper, through the analysis of problems exposed in autonomous learning under network environment,find that teachers should give full play to the guiding role under the network environment, and according to these problems, put forward four strategies to guide the implementation of autonomous learning.

The Comparative Study

Internet is a versatile tool used by the students that draws attention of many researchers. But little research has been found regarding the comparative study of internet usage among university students. For this reason, the study surveyed the internet usage among university students coming from Business Studies, Science & Arts disciplines at University of Dhaka, Bangladesh and the overall perceptions towards the internet usage. So we developed a survey questionnaire and collected data on students’ demographics, internet usage behavior and purposes of internet use. Therefore, we distributed 50 questionnaires to each discipline and a total of 150 questionnaires were returned and all were usable. Then we analyzed the obtained data using SPSS. The results show that the percentage of internet usage among the students coming from Business Studies, Science and Arts disciplines is 100%, 92% and 90% respectively. The study recommends that the students coming from Science and Arts background should enhance the internet usage. And the students from all backgrounds should enhance the frequency of internet access per day and invest more on internet usage. The study also recommends that the universities should provide adequate internet facilities and enabling environment for student. This study provides a theoretical and empirical basis for further studies on internet usage of university students.

This concluding chapter explores the legacy of anarchism in Puerto Rico. While anarchist agitation and organizing came to an end in the early 1920s, individual anarchists continued to write to anarchist publications in New York and Havana. In addition, the global economic recession that began in 2008, coupled with efforts by the Puerto Rican government and the Universidad de Puerto Rico to impose new fees on university students in 2010, gave birth to new interest in anarchism on the island as anarchist groups took to the internet, the cafés, and the university grounds. They began working with other groups in cross-sectarian alliances, offering classes on anarchism, reviving anarchist theatre, and drawing attention to the ravages of joint state–corporate attempts to seize private lands. In short, these new Black Flag Boricuas were resurrecting in the present the very history of anarchist agitation and antiauthoritarianism developed a century earlier.

In functional food advertising, messages are not always easily understandable for the target audience. Current European legislation, enforced through Regulation 1924/2006, specifies that such messages should be clear and precise so as not to mislead the consumer. The objective of this study was to observe consumers’ understanding of messages in functional food advertisements. The methodology used was a self-administered survey filled out by 191 students enrolled in a Degree in Advertising and Public Relations at the University of Alicante (Spain). The results suggest that a large number of students do not know what functional food is and obtain information about these products mainly from labelling/packaging. The major means of communication through which they learn about health benefits via advertising is the internet, followed by television. Most respondents indicated that they understood related advertisements and found it helpful to be given additional information on health benefits. Worthy of note, the greater their level of understanding of the messages, the higher their level of distrust of advertising messages, which they considered to be deceptive or misleading.

Today, the processes of virtualization in higher education are decisive. The digital paradigm has an enormous influence on the university world, and will have even more in the future. Knowing how students access the Internet, how they consume it and how long they use it would be of great value for university policy, to facilitate the proper integration of information and communication technologies (ICT). The main objective of this study is to determine the time of use of the Internet by university students in different Spanish-speaking countries in the last eight years (2012–2019). It also aims to determine whether belonging to a common cultural space has an influence on this fact. The broad sample was composed of 2463 subjects from Chile, Ecuador, Spain, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela. The results show that there is no homogeneity in the time of use and consumption patterns among the countries analyzed. The particular elements and social habits of each specific country, and multiple variables within each of them, condition their use. In conclusion, it can be argued that the integration of ICTs in university contexts is a very complex phenomenon in which multiple factors are present. In this sense, the sustainable educational policies of each country—and even of each university—must focus on their characteristics and idiosyncrasies. Importing practices from other countries, or attempting to apply common patterns of integration, may not be effective because of differences in the very different variables present in each.

With the advent of 5G era, it has become an inevitable trend to drive educational modernization with educational informationization. The modern-day education uses science and technology as well as culture in cultivating independent learning as the ultimate goal. However, there are many drawbacks in the system and practical aspects of higher vocational education in which one of it is that the independent learning has been neglected in the learning process. This article analyzed the issues in the autonomous learning of the English language among higher vocational college students and discussed strategies to improve their autonomous learning ability based on informationization to promote bidirectional interaction between teachers and students, cultivate students’ consciousness of lifelong learning, improve teachers’ technical skills, and perfect the development of a connotative system in higher vocational colleges.

The paper presents the results of a survey of the undergraduate, graduate and post graduate students of the University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan. The objective of the study was to explore the Internet use behavior of students. The results show that most of the students use this technology for course related reading and research needs. They are new users of the Internet. They use it at the University Library's Digital Lab Unit as well as their departments and homes. A large number of them have learnt to use the Internet tools by themselves, or relying on assistance from friends without attending any formal training programs. Ease of work and time saving are the reasons of Internet use among university students. Google as a search engine and Yahoo as an email service are the most popular among students. The paper recommends that the university authorities should arrange training programs for the students' Internet use.

Varias han sido las investigaciones para conocer los motivos por el cual el alumnado universitario realiza o a ha abandonado la práctica de actividad físico-deportiva de tiempo libre. Sin embargo, han indagado las barreras en aquellos que no han participado nunca en dicha actividad, debido a las repercusiones negativas que genera la inactividad física. Sobre una población de 65.700 estudiantes de Educación Superior de la Universidad de Guadalajara México, se ha realizado un muestreo polietápico estratificado con afijación proporcional, resultando un muestra de 1.207 sujetos, lo que significa un margen de error de ±3% y un nivel de confianza del 95,5%. Para la recogida de datos se ha utilizando un cuestionario estandarizado aplicándose de forma auto-administrada. Entre los principales resultados, destacar qué, los sujetos inactivos mencionan como principal barrera para ser sedentario el no tener aptitudes para el deporte, la falta de tiempo, la flojera o pereza y la carencia instalaciones deportivas cerca del hogar. Siendo similares a los que afectan a otras investigaciones en poblaciones universitarias. Además, realizar estudios en algún centro temático o regional, pertenecer a uno u otro Centro Universitario no influye o determina los motivos por el cual, los estudiante no han practicado nunca actividades físico-deportivas en su tiempo libre. Siendo únicamente sedentarios, los alumnos que realizan estudios de licenciatura. Situación que obliga a poner mayor atención a este grupo de sujetos que en caso de no adherirse a la práctica, incrementara las posibilidades de mortalidad, inhabilidad y morbilidad.Palabra clave: motivaciones, universitarios, inactividad física.Abstract: There has been several investigations that try to explain why the university students barely do exercise or most of them have dropped all the outdoor activities during their free time. However, this investigations have gone beyond the walls specially with the students that never do any activity, the reason of this, is due to all the side effects that the physical inactivity has. From the University of Guadalajara in Mexico, a 65.000 college student population, it was taken a sample of 1.207 individuals. The sampling procedure for this research was stratified polietapic with proportional affixation; which resulted on a + 3 percent error margin and a trusted level of 95.5 percent. In order to collect the results of the poll, it was used a standard questionnaire applied in a auto-administrated way. Among the main results, it is important to highlight that the students that do not do any exercise emphasis that the reason of the lack of any activity is because they do not have the abilities to practice any sport, lack of free time, laziness or lack of sportive facilities near to their homes. These results are similar and have affected other investigations in the same manner the university students. Furthermore, the fact that a student studies in a thematic or regional center, or belong to a different university center does not affect or shows the reasons why the students do not do any physical activity during their free time. Being only the sedentary, the students that are studying a degree. This situation obligates us to emphasis and to pay more attention to this group of students, because in case of continuing without any physical activity, this could increase the rate of mortality, inability and morbidity.Key words: motivations, college students, physical inactivity.
