This paper recounts an inaugural study of male Saudi university students’ understandings of financial literacy, financial stability, and financial security and how they plan to achieve these. Using convenience sampling, 79 male respondents (53% response rate) from an Eastern Province university completed a six-question open-ended email instrument. Data collected in November 2020 were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results showed that while their understanding of what constitutes financial literacy was solid enough (with some gaps), their notion of how to ensure financial stability and security was in question. They made no mention of retirement, taxation, or estate planning and limited insurance to medical. Despite self-rating themselves as having good (47%) or average (32%) financial literacy, results suggest an imbalanced personal financial system, which bodes ill for future financial resilience, stability, and security. Respondents placed an inordinate weight on the risky ventures of investing (79%) and entrepreneurship (49%) to make a living and to use for retirement while concurrently not valuing goal setting, budgeting, or funding emergencies. Virtually all (99%) respondents said they planned to learn more about financial literacy, and they tendered an array of ideas for how the university could make this happen.

This instrument is composed of 11 items and was carried out to 115 international students studying in one Indonesian higher education. There were 49 male and 66 female respondents involved in this study. The Cronbach’s Alpha value was .94 which strongly suggest that the instrument has an excellent reliability. This study points out that self-employment intentions are suitable to be used by college personnel and counselors to examine and identify self-employment intentions among international students in Indonesian higher education.

Testing and examining go on in higher education all the time through continuous assessments and end semester examinations. The grades scored by students determine not only academic mobility but eventually who get employed in the job market, which seems to be shrinking all over the world. Those charged with testing are often staff who have higher qualifications in their subject areas but are not necessarily teaching or examination experts. Against this background, the researcher wanted to find out what was happening at selected university across three schools: Social Studies, Education and Science. The university is fairly young having been awarded its charter twenty years ago. The paper asked two questions namely, at what levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy are lecturers asking examination questions? Secondly, do the level and balance of questions show growth in examining skills? The study evaluated over 1039 questions from randomly selected examination papers from the Examinations Office for the academic years from 2014/15 to 2017/18 (three academic years). A guide from the list of verbs used in Anderson s (revision of Bloom was used to analyze the questions. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the trends in testing for each year. ANOVA and t-tests were used to find out if there were significant differences between numbers across categories and within categories. The results of the study show that most examination questions are at the levels of remember (literal) and knowledge (understand). In 2016/17 and 2017/18 academic years, there were significant differences in the percentage of questions examined in these two categories. However, it seems from the study, that testing or examining skills do not grow through the practice of setting questions. There is need for examiners to be trained to use the knowledge in setting questions that discriminate effectively across the academic abilities of students they teach.

Physical inactivity ranks fourth among the main risk factors for mortality worldwide. Aim to relate a change or increase in the level of physical activity with socioeconomic variables and lifestyle over a six-month period in university students in the health field. This is a longitudinal study, consisting of 167 university students in the health area in northeastern Brazil. Use the "Map of Physical Activity and Health-MAFIS" as an instrument or questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics in the form of frequency and percentage, square test, posterior assembly of the logistic regression model. The results show that the university students who responded are “barely able” to wake up an hour earlier to perform protected physical activities by 78% (OR: 0.217; CI: 0.056-0.83) against the practice of AFLAZ compared to those who consider " quite capable ". It was concluded that the willingness to wake up 1 hour earlier is related to doing physical activity over a period of six months in health students.

AbstractObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to measure the reported use of nutrition information on food labels by a population of university students and to determine if label users differed from non-users in terms of gender and specific beliefs related to label information and diet–disease relationships, specifically fat and heart disease and fibre and cancer.DesignA single-stage cluster sampling technique was used. Data was obtained using a self-administered, validated questionnaire.SettingThe present investigation took place at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada in the autumn of 1997.SubjectsA total of 553 students in randomly selected classes in the College of Arts and Science took part in the survey (92% response rate). The sample consisted of roughly equal numbers of males and females, most between the ages of 18 and 24.ResultsThere were approximately equal numbers of label users and non-users among males, while label users outnumbered non-users by almost four to one among females. The importance of nutrition information on food labels was the only belief that differed significantly between label users and non-users for both sexes. For females, no other beliefs distinguished label users from non-users. However, for males, significant differences were found between label users and non-users on the beliefs that nutrition information is truthful and that a relationship between fibre and cancer exists.ConclusionsFemales appear to use food labels more often than do males. The only consistently observed difference between label users and non-users (male and female) was that users believed in the importance of nutrition information on food labels while non-users did not.

How can the quality of possession of knowledge of Malay symbols in the field of play among FKIP Riau University students be formulated? The research objective was to analyze and describe the quality of possession of knowledge of Malay symbols in the field of play among FKIP students at the University of Riau. This research used a descriptive quantitative approach—observation of knowledge with a likert scale. The observation sample was 870 people from a population of 6300 people or 13.8% of 100%. The sample was taken randomly based on questionnaire filling and collection. The technique of collecting data employed a questionnaire related to the traditional games of the Riau Malay community. The process of collecting data distributed through a google form. The collected data were substituted and analyzed with descriptive statistics, Product Moment, and Anova. The analysis results showed that students' knowledge regarding traditional games of the Malay community as a cultural symbol was at a standard of mean 4.37 with a very high category. The games of gasing, bakiak, congkak, enggrang, layang-layang, tarik tambang, petak umpet, benteng, ligu, and statak can contribute information to knowledge ownership of the games of the Riau Malay community by 35.9%. In comparison, other games were at 64.1%. The possession of this knowledge has supported documenting various games and preserving the existence of these games.
