This document is a survey report on understanding of lung cancer among male and female students at Taylor's University. It includes an introduction to lung cancer, the objective to compare understanding between genders, methodology of distributing surveys to 260 students, statistical analysis of responses, and conclusions. The analysis found that female students had a slightly better understanding than males, though overall understanding was low. Many were unaware that lung cancer can affect other cancers and that surgery is a primary treatment. The report provides statistics on lung cancer in Malaysia and causes/risk factors.
ABSTRACT- Background: Women of all races and ethnicities are at risk of cervical cancer. India, around 0.95 million new cases are detected yearly with high burden of 0.63 million. India bears about one fifth of the world’s burden of cervical cancer. Although fatality is high but cancers are largely preventable by effective screening programmes. Design: The present quasi-experimental study was conducted among female students studying in degree colleges from Feb. 2013 to Sept. 2013. Intervention: Educational intervention was conducted through sessions of participatory learning approach which included lectures using power-point, chalk and talk and question-answers method. Data was collected twice by administering predesigned questionnaire and conducting focus group discussion. Data Analysis: Data entered and analyzed using Epi Info 2000. To analyze qualitative information Atlas ti software was used. Paired t-test was used to measure the effect of intervention. Results: Total 149 students were the part of the study and successfully followed. Mean age of the participant was 18.5 years. Out of the 149 participants 4.1% had family history of the cancer. In the study it was observed that 18.8% had not ever heard about the cancer. In the post intervention test significant improvement was seen in all three parameters viz knowledge, attitude and practices. Conclusion: Continuing Educational interventions should be started at all level which highlights the importance of screening and prevention of cancer in women.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary adult brain neoplasm with an age-adjusted incidence rate of 3.22 per 100 000 individuals and a 5-yr survival rate of 6.8%.1 In 2005, Stupp and colleagues proposed maximal safe resection, concomitant temozolomide (TMZ) with radiotherapy, and adjuvant TMZ as the optimal treatment. Implementation of the Stupp protocol in high-income countries (HICs) has resulted in increased survival compared to previous regimens. With little-to-no literature on the management and outcomes of patients with GBM in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), it is unclear whether the Stupp protocol is being adopted or whether it is, or ever can be, the optimal strategy in LMICs...

The Journal publishes papers of the highest scientific merit and widest possible scope work in all areas related to medical and dental science. The Journal welcome review articles, leading medical and clinical research articles, technical notes, case reports and others.
Background: The incidence of cancers is increasing worldwide, particularly in the developing countries as shown by recent cancer stastics from the WHO. It is even anticipated that with the increase in life expentancy, consequent upon inproved standard of living and globalization, the burden of cancers will increase within this millenium. With respective to cancer of the prostate, it is the most common type of cancer in urology. In developing countries, diagnostic is done at a late stage of evolution. In Cameroon, data on prostate cancer are scanty whereas the incidence of this disease is increasing. Objective: This article is designed to describe the epidemiological features of prostate cancer at the General Hospital of Yaoundé. Patients and methods: A 4-year retrospective study of patients seen with the diagnosis of cancer at the Medical Oncology unit of the Yaoundé General Hospital between January 2012 and December 2015. The demographic pattern (age of patients, socio professional activity, marital status), clinical features (cancer diagnosis), treatment modalities and outcome were studied. Main results: Of the 7 775 patients enrolled in the Medical Oncology Service over the study period, 1.4% (n = 108) cases of prostate cancer were seen. The prevalence over the study period was 1.38% and a relatively large annual growth of cases with an annual average of 27 cases was noted. The average age of patients was 67.82 years with a range of 34-83 years. The commonest presenting symptoms were the urinary frequency (54.63%) whereas the least common were fatigue (05.5%) and straining (03.70%). PSA was obtained in 49 patients, representing about 45.4% of all patients. Only 14 (01.26%) had biopsy reports. Conclusion: Prostate cancer is a major problem facing the aging male, and inadequate facilities make early detection difficult. Therefore, treatment is mainly palliative because of late diagnosis.
Perceptions of tertiary students on the prevention of sexually transmitted di...iosrjce
The purpose of the study was to evaluate tertiary student’s sexual behaviour and their knowledge and attitudes
towards STDs, among students of University for Development Studies (UDS).
The research design: data was collected by using a quantitative survey using self-answered questionnaire, from
a sample of one hundred and thirty-four (n=134) out of a total student population of 3,881, using the simple
random sampling technique in the data gathering process.
Results/findings: out of the sample size of 134 students aged 15-44, 46.3% were males and 53.7% were females.
About 24.6%, (n=33) have ever had sex without a condom. The study revealed that 99.3% ever heard of STDs,
85.1% had either below or average knowledge about the causes of STDs, 55.2% had knowledge above average
on the prevention of STDs and more than 90% of the student sampled indicated that STDs are very common.
Interestingly, 6.7% of the sampled population said STDs are mainly female infections.
Recommendations: There is need for wider education at various levels of the educational system on STDs by
health care providers, and effective collaboration among health care providers, social activists, NGOs and
tertiary students to promote peer education on STDs prevention among students.

Survival Analysis of Determinants of Breast Cancer Patients at Hossana Queen ...Premier Publishers
Breast cancer is one of the most severe diseases in the world and become the public’s ever day’s agenda in both developed and developing countries. The primary goal of this study was to identify the determinants of survival time of breast cancer patients at Hossana hospital, south Ethiopia. Kaplan-Meier estimation method and a new two-parameter probability distribution called hypertabastic are introduced to model the survival time of the data. A simulation study was carried out to evaluate the performance of the hypertabastic distribution in comparison with popular distribution with the help of R and SAS statistical software Packages. One-fourth (25%) of the total patients survived for only 2 days. 31(35.2%) were censored, and 55(62.5%) were died. Hypertabastic survival model was found to be best fitting to the breast cancer data and age, level of education, family history, breast problem before, High fat diet, child late age, early menarche, late menopause were significant risk factors for the death of breast cancer patients. Awareness has to be given for the society on causes of breast cancer and screening test and early detection policies for most risky groups has to be established.

Small-Cell Lung Cancer
The literature review will examine small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) also referred to as oat cell carcinoma, which is a deadly disease that connected to tobacco smoking. It has been established that small lung cancer causes 10-18 percent of all the cancer cases. The cancer starts in the lungs and moves to the rest body very fast. The literature will emphasize the fact that the disease is not curable; nonetheless if correct treatment method is administered during the early stages of the disease the disease will be treated. Therefore, the literature review will examine the causes and methods used to treat the disease (Sørensen et al, 2010).
Sørensen et al (2010) argue that SCLC is more prevalent in men than in women, and in most instances the common form of SCLC to have symptoms called paraneoplatic syndrome-which is symptoms as a result of hormones secreted by a tumor or through body immune system of the body as a form of response to a tumor. Symptoms of this kind of cancer include coughing up blood, persistent cough, shortness of breath, swelling of the neck and face, wheezing and repeated episodes of bronchitis or pneumonia (Sørensen et al, 2010).
According to Capizzello et al (2011), SCLC develops rapidly; however, it responds well to chemotherapy because it tends to become more resistant to any treatment as it progresses. It starts in the large bronchi and spreads to the brain. Small-cell lung cancer gets its name because observed under a microscope is mostly filled with nucleus. The disease is divided into two categories namely extensive and limited. It has been confirmed that 60 to 70 percent of the people already suffers from extensive stage SCLC at the period when one is diagnosed. Of all the cancer, SCLC is the most aggressive type of lung cancer. Ismaili (2011) says that since this type of cancer normally metastasizes broadly very early on in the natural history of the tumor, and since almost all cases of the disease respond intensely to radiotherapy and /or ‘complete response , there have been no significant role of surgery of the disease since 1970s. However, in the recent research it has been established that surgical excision can be used to improve survival when administered at the early stages of the disease before chemotherapy (Capizzello et al, 2011).
Argiris and Murren (2001) say that since SCLC spreads very fast through the body, treatment must comprise cancer-killing drugs, which chemotherapy is taken orally or vaccinated into the body. In many cases, the chemotherapy drug etoposide sometimes called irinotecan is integrated with either carboplatin or cisplatin. Therefore, combination of radiation and chemotherapy treatment is administered to individual.
Awareness about Mouth Cancer in Biotechnology Students_Crimson PublishersCrimsonpublishersCancer
Uncontrolled division of cells causes cancer. Mouth cancer is caused by many factors and the major causes of mouth cancer are Tobacco use, heavy alcohol use and infection by HPV (Human Papillomavirus). Another factor of mouth cancer is UV-light which can cause lip cancer. Some factors are genetic factors. If genetic instability occurs in Keratinocytes then cancer is developed. The main reason of mouth cancer is Tobacco, cigarettes. Questioners about awareness of mouth cancer were solved by biotechnology students. Total 38 students performed to solve this questioner. The responses of these questions were analyzed. Total 32 females and 6 males solved the questioner. And by studying the questioner it was concluded that 73.68% students agreed that mouth cancer is a viral disease and 34.21% agreed that mouth cancer is genetic disease, 68.4% students agreed that mouth cancer transfer from parents to offspring’s and 31.5% students agreed that this disease is curable. So few students were fully aware few were not aware about mouth cancer. And the objective of this study is to aware biotechnology students about mouth cancer in Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

3. INTRODUCTION
Cancer, also known as a malignant tumour or malignant neoplasm, is a group of
diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other
parts of the body. Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (Malaysian Health Ministry) has
assigned us to conduct a survey to study the understanding level of female and male
students in Taylor’s University on a common chronic diseases in Malaysia, which is lung
cancer.
Lung cancers start in the cells lining the bronchi and in other parts of the lung such
as the bronchioles or alveoli. Lung cancer is often a life-threatening disease because it
tends to spread in this way even before it can be detected on an imaging test such as a
chest x-ray. There are two major types of lung cancer, namely non-small cell lung cancer
(NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). There are 3 main subtypes of NSCLC,
namely Adenocarcinoma, Squamous cell carcinoma and Large cell carcinoma.
According to statistics, lung cancer is one of the most common cancers with high
mortality rate. In Malaysia, lung cancer is the 2nd most common cancer affecting men and
3rd most common cancer with 2,100 Malaysians diagnosed each year. Causes of lung
cancer include tobacco smoking, passive smoking and exposure to certain toxins. By far
the biggest cause of lung cancer is smoking. It causes more than 8 out of 10 cases (86%)
including a small proportion caused by exposure to second hand smoke in non-smokers
(passive smoking). People exposed to environmental tobacco smoke at work or at home
have their risk of lung cancer increased by about a quarter compared to people who are
not exposed to it. Heavy exposure to environmental tobacco smoke at work has been
shown to double the risk of lung cancer.
The stage of lung cancer refers to the extent to which the cancer has spread in the
body. Lung cancer does not cause any symptoms until they have spread too far to be
cured, but symptoms do occur in some people with early lung cancer. Symptoms include
cough (often with blood), chest pain, wheezing, and weight loss. Treatments may include
surgery alone, but also might include chemotherapy, radiation, or a combination of these.
The general prognosis of lung cancer is poor because doctors tend not to find the disease
until it is at an advanced stage.

4. OBJECTIVE
Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (Malaysian Health Ministry) had engaged us to
conduct a survey regarding the understanding level of female and male students in
Taylor’s University on one of the common chronic diseases in Malaysia. This survey
focuses to compare how much male and female students understand about that particular
disease. We, as a team, are required to research the fact of one of the common chronic
diseases in Malaysia, which is lung cancer and compare the facts with understanding of
each category of students to conclude which group understands better on that disease.
This had created an opportunity for us to get exposed to and learn more about lung cancer
to a greater depth. Through the survey that we have conducted, we gained knowledge on
the ways to collect and organise statistical data. We are also given an opportunity to apply
the knowledge gained to analyse statistical data and draw conclusion from the data. From
this project, we had understood and applied fundamental mathematical principles,
statistics.

5. METHODOLOGY
In a group of five, a survey of Lung Cancer has been conducted for five days from October
14 - 16 & October 19 - 20. All of the survey questionnaires were printed out in the
hardcopy form to enable the collection and analysis of data to be done in a more
systematic manner. The survey questionnaires were distributed equally among 130 male
and female students respectively which sums up to a total of 260 students. Our target are
focused mainly on the students only. Survey questionnaires have been distributed to
students within different area of the campus.

6. The next method is to analyse and tabulate the data into our own finding. So we held a
meeting the next day, after collecting all the finished survey forms individually done by
students of Taylor’s University. During the meeting, we as a group member helped out
each other to analyse all the statical data together and compile it into a source of
information, in order to allow us to develop the final report compilation. Meanwhile, we had
analyse the data for each question, and calculate the average marks of student using the
mean formula, which is

25. CONCLUSION
The collected data and information have been gathered and tabulated to determine
the understanding regarding the level of female and male students in Taylor’s University on
a common chronic diseases in Malaysia, which is lung cancer. Based on the analysis, only
30% of the overall respondents have achieved a certain level of understanding the chronic
disease of lung cancer, in which they manage to answer more than half of the questions
correctly. Besides, there are also a few questions which the majority has gotten it wrong.
One of it includes the question regarding whether lung cancer can be affected by other
types of cancer. Many of the respondent answered No which the answer is Yes. Lung
cancer can be affected by other types of cancer are caused by abnormal mutation of cells
in the body. Cancer cells can eventually spread out to other parts of body.
Other than that, many respondents didn't know that surgery is critical as a treatment
for a lung cancer patient. Most of the respondents chose biomedical engineering as the
answer for that question. It is a surprise finding for us that most of the people believe with
biomedical engineering could help in treating lung cancer, instead of going on a surgery
treatment. Moreover, most of the respondents as in equivalent to 87% of the students are
not sure whether in which age category does lung cancer will most affected. Lung cancer
mostly affected in the age category 41-60. It is believe that they have the schema which
youngsters nowadays like to smoke therefore youngsters will most probably affected by
lung cancer, and that is why they answered wrongly.
On the other hand, most of the respondents which are equivalent to 68% of them
answered correctly regarding the whether does lung cancer only affects smokers which
majority answer No which is the correct answer of the question. It is know that they are
also other internal and external factors which may cause lung cancer such as genetic
mutation in an individual or the exposure to radiation.
Last but not least, from the overall finding of our, we can conclude that female
respondent actually did score better than male respondent, which means they the females
have a better understanding of lung cancer than males. However, the level of
understanding of the overall respondents was a disappointment.
