Digital Technologies’ Impacts On Student Social Adaptation During Coronavirus Pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic has caused a rather difficult period of adaptation of students to the university system and the new educational process. Digital technologies came to the rescue, which contributed to some solution of emerging adaptation issues for nonresident students. This article is aimed at identifying the features of social adaptation of nonresident students to the educational process at the university. As a research method, the questionnaire method was used, which allowed to identify and analyze the peculiarities of adaptation of first-year students from other cities to the university environment and university requirements. The article reveals the influence of digital technologies on the adaptation of students to the university environment and new living conditions. It was determined that, in general, the participants have a high level of adaptation to the university environment, even in the conditions of the coronavirus pandemic.

An Exploration of Nonresident Student Enrollment and Institutional Finances at Public Universities

Many public universities have sought to increase the number of students they enroll from other states, with the assumption that a larger share of nonresident students increases institutional revenues and prestige. In this paper, I examine the extent to which out-of-state undergraduate student enrollment shares are associated with changes in per-student revenue and expenditure patterns at four-year public universities both as a whole and by selectivity and Carnegie classification. I find that an increase in the percentage of students from out of state is associated with decreases in per-student tuition revenue and is often associated with a decline in per-student expenditures.

Crossing District Lines: The Impact of Urban–Suburban Desegregation Programs on Educational Attainments

Interdistrict desegregation programs, which provide opportunities for urban children of color to attend suburban schools, are a potential means of addressing persistent racial inequalities in educational opportunities and outcomes. These voluntary programs offer a test of whether nonresident students can leverage the resources and social capital available at high-performing suburban schools to improve their educational outcomes. In the first impact study of Boston’s long-running program, I find large differences in the adjusted high-school graduation and college enrollment rates of applicants referred to a suburban district, compared with observably similar applicants who were not referred. The college effect is due to enrollment in 4-year institutions and does not vary by gender. Estimates are robust to adjustments for remaining omitted variables bias.

Ecological and physiological assessment of adaptation processes of nonresident students to the anthropogenic conditions of Moscow

The article provides an ecological and physiological assessment of the adaptation of nonresident students to the anthropogenic conditions of the metropolitan metropolis. The complex of environmental factors (socio-economic, ecological and anthropogenic factors) that play a significant role in the dynamics of adaptation of students is considered. The analysis of the obtained data showed that a complex of environmental factors of a large city causes a violation of the rhythm of sleep and wakefulness and the level of personal and situational anxiety. The presented complex of stress factors in general has a significant impact on the mental health of nonresident students, which is manifested in a high level of personal and situational anxiety and deterioration of the functional state of the autonomic nervous system. All this in general led to mental discomfort and to overstrain the adaptation processes of nonresident students of different courses.

The Analysis of Morbidity among Civil and Military University Students in Kaliningrad

The objective of the study was to analyze disease incidence and prevalence rates among university students in the city of Kaliningrad. Materials and methods. We analyzed morbidity among first to fifth year students of a civil (No. 1) and two military universities (Nos. 2 and 3) including its structure per 1,000, trends, annual incidence and prevalence rates among local and nonresident students. Results and discussion: The overall prevalence rates were higher in the military universities (1,474.9 ± 14.5 ‰ and 930.4 ± 5.2 ‰ in Nos. 2 and 3, respectively) than in the civil one (802.1 ± 10.3 ‰). In universities Nos. 1 and 3, the prevalence rates of diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue were similar while the rates of diseases of the genitourinary system were higher than those in university No. 2. We observed a higher disease prevalence rate among unacclimated students: the smaller was their percentage, the lower was the overall rate. In the universities 1–3 the prevalence rates in local and nonresident students were 779.1 ± 11.8 ‰ and 918.9 ± 17.0 ‰ (p = 0.000), 921.5 ± 13.5 ‰ and 1,548.1 ± 16.9 ‰ (p = 0.000), and 719.5 ± 12.7 ‰ and 906.2 ± 9.6 ‰ (p = 0.000), respectively. The nonresident students of the civil university were healthier: their prevalence rates of diseases of the eye and adnexa, mental and behavioral disorders, and diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue were, respectively, 2.8, 1.9 and 4.2 times lower than those in non-local students of the military establishments. Conclusions. Respiratory diseases and diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue generally prevailed among the students. The excess of the upper limit of the annual incidence rate in the same seasons and months of the year proves the role of body resistance in disease pathogenesis. The observed disease rates were higher in the military universities than in the civil one due to the specific features of nutrition, accommodation, and the educational process (curricula, indoor and outdoor classes at the training ground). The analysis of morbidity rates among students of each year is essential for the development of efficient preventive measures. General measures shall include ways and means of boosting the immune system as well as proper sanitary and hygienic conditions of students’ accommodation and learning facilities. Key words: students, local, nonresident, incidence, Kaliningrad.

Physiological Evaluation of the Cardiology System of Nonresident Students at Different Training Periods

The article provides a physiological assessment of the state of the cardiovascular system of students in different periods of the academic year. The study was conducted on a sample of 311 nonresident and Moscow students. An analysis of the spectral characteristics of HRV showed that during the examination session the total power of the spectrum decreased compared with the indicators during the training session. During the intercessional period, the total spectrum power in the studied group of students amounted to 4856.34 ± 645 ms2, and during the examination session this indicator decreased by 35.8% and amounted to 3119.41 ± 522 ms2. A comparative analysis of the HRV activity wave spectrum of the studied student sample showed significant changes (p <0.05) of students’ functional state indicators (SDNN, LF, HF, LF / HF; SI, ARS). According to the studied indicators, a growth trend was noted: (SDNN: from 43.89 ± 8.12 to 78.03 ± 3.86; LF: 27.78 ± 7.33 42.56 ± 4.51; LF / HF: 0.67 ± 0.03 1.72 ± 0.02; SI: 102.95 ± 11.3 467.77 ± 6.1; ARS: 1-2 ± 0.12 5-7 ± 0.01 ) and a decrease in HF (41.74 ± 5.3 to 24.67 ± 2.94).

Do Nonresident Students Affect Prices for In-State Students at Public Colleges?

Background/Context Public colleges and universities have sought to recruit and enroll more students from outside their home state in an effort to both enhance institutional prestige and generate additional revenue from the higher tuition rates than nonresident students generally pay. A body of research has shown that nonresident students tend to be more economically advantaged and less racially diverse than in-state students and that increases in out-of-state students crowd out lower income and minority state residents from more selective public colleges. Purpose/Research Questions Although research has shown some adverse effects of additional nonresident enrollment, no prior research has examined whether the additional money generated from out-of-state students’ higher tuition rates is used to help make college more affordable for state residents. In this article, I examined whether increased percentages of nonresident students were associated with changes in the sticker or net prices of attendance at four-year public colleges and whether any relationships were different between broad-access and selective public colleges. Research Design I used data on college pricing and nonresident enrollment from the U.S. Department of Education's Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System from the 2000– 01 through 2013–14 academic years from 505 public four-year colleges in this analysis. I used panel regressions with controls for other state-level factors that could have affected nonresident enrollment. In my preferred specifications, I used Arellano–Bond estimators to account for autoregressive processes in the data and used a one-year lag between nonresident enrollment and when prices paid by in-state students were measured. Results and Conclusions There was no systematic relationship between changes in the percentage of nonresident students and the sticker or net prices faced by in-state students. This suggests that although state residents do not appear to be subsidizing an amenities arms race to attract students from other states, the additional tuition revenue coming from nonresident students is not being used to help subsidize in-state students. Future research should investigate how public colleges are using the additional revenue if it is not being used for student financial aid.

Analysis of Household Electricity Consumption in Nonresident Rent Halls Using Linear Regression Analysis Model

This paper is based on electricity consumption pattern in rental houses around Kibabii University (KU) situated in Western region of Kenya. Because of unexpected blackout faced by nonresident students at the time they need electricity most for their studies, this work intends to find out the directive measure to curb this crisis. Since the usage of electricity showed high relationship to the number of households sharing a common meter, Regression analysis prove to be the most effective method to model a solution to this problem. SPSS was used to analyze the data obtained. The results showed the consistency in linear trend of usage of electrical power on a monthly basis among students, it is observed also that the rate of consumption of power among nonresident students of KU is affected by the number of households sharing the meter. The consequence of this study is that with the correct data in place one is able to know the amount of power in kilowatt-hours needed for consumption throughout the semester and plan effectively so that power loss is not experienced. The results will be so useful to the KPLC (Kenya Power and Lighting Company) and KU fraternity for planning purposes.
