Biotin enzymes such as pyruvate carboxylase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase are involved with the most basic metabolism. Thus, it is very important to monitor the biotin nutritional status for maintaining good health. We examined urinary excretion and the intake of biotin in a Japanese sample population of 60 boys and 36 girls (10-12 y), 37 male and 135 female college students (18-27 y), and 35 female elderly persons (70-84 y) living freely. All food consumed, and the corresponding weighing, for 4 consecutive days were recorded. A 24-hour urine sample was collected on the fourth day, and the urine biotin was measured. The urine biotin at the fourth day was 57.8, 50.9, 81.0, 66.2, and 82.3 nmol/day in boys, girls, male students, female students, and elderly persons, respectively. The average intake of biotin for 4 consecutive days was 35, 31, 28, 26, and 32 μg/day in boys, girls, male students, female students, and elderly persons, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to explore the gender-specific mental stress model of violent injuries among Chinese college students. A cross-sectional, multistage sampling process was employed to recruit a total of 5025 college students from 22 universities in China. Survey respondents reported their exposure to violent injuries and noted individual and environmental factors that could relate to violent injuries. Both unadjusted and adjusted statistical methods were used to examine the relationships between selected individual and environmental variables with violent injuries among male and female college students. The overall prevalence of violent injuries among male and female college students in this study was 4.40% (95% CI [0.10%, 7.80%]) and 5.20% (95% CI [0.05%, 10.35%]). The study found that higher mental stress (OR: 3.32), lower level universities (OR: 5.99), and family location in rural areas (OR: 4.00) were associated with a higher likelihood of violent injuries, and mothers employed as professionals (OR: 0.07) was associated with lower prevalence of violent injuries among male students. Unlike male students, mental stress and mothers’ occupation were not associated with violent injuries among female students. University type was also associated with violent injuries but this association was inverted (OR: 0.06) among female students. This study found gender-specific relationships affecting violent injuries among college students in China. Prevention strategies need to be developed in consideration of gender influences and should be enacted to reduce the negative impact of violent injuries on society and personal health in China.

In the second year of the COVID-19 epidemic in the Southeast Asia (SE) regions, there is a plan to reopen the school, including the campus. Among students in Indonesia, college students have a population of almost 8.3 million. Considering the massive numbers of college students, school reopening should be supported by adequate COVID-19 vaccination. As a result, the first dose of the inactivated virus COVID-19 vaccine has been administered, including to college students aged over 18 years old. While COVID-19 vaccination is widely available, there is still a scarcity of information on post-vaccination symptoms. As reported from other locations, post vaccination has been reported. Then, this study aims to assess the common symptoms of COVID-19 1st dose vaccinations among the following groups: gender (male and female college students), age, body weight, and height. The observed symptoms include sore arms, fatigue, headache, fever with a body temperature above 38 oC, nausea, shivering, and muscle joint pain. Participants in this study were students at the university. They were considered eligible for this study if they were currently enrolled at university, were at least 19 years of age, and provided informed consent. The data was recorded using a standardized online questionnaire. The answers were collected in an online database. At the beginning of the questionnaire, subjects or students were informed that data would be collected anonymously. Based on the results, the symptoms were different between female and male students. In fact, female students have experienced more symptoms than male students. While male students only suffered sore arms (68%) followed by headache symptoms (32%). Similar to male students, sore arms are the most common symptom observed among female students. Among female students, from the most to the least common symptoms observed from 20 years of age in this study are sore arms at site reaction > headache > fatigue > fever > muscle joint pain > shivering > nausea. A higher risk of presenting fatigue and headache symptoms was found in those with a non-overweight status with weight ranges of 50-60 kg.

This article analyzed the characteristics of Chinese female college students’ English conversation from the perspective of second language acquisition by using some theories of sociolinguistics and discourse analysis. After analysis, it was found that female students used hedges and intensifiers extensively in second language conversations. Additionally, the participants consciously maintained the face of their peers and made the conversation take place in an atmosphere of equality and solidarity. Through the use of deixis, the conversation was well organized and carried out smoothly. The participants changed their roles, gave and took the floors, and offered new information to prolong the conversation. Although female language had many characteristics, it cannot be fully reflected in this sample conducted in a second language.

Changes in the sexist attitudes of college students participating in psychology of women courses were examined. Male students maintained mildly antiliberationist attitudes toward women and traditional, masculine-typed self-descriptions over the course semester. Female students expressed significantly more liberal attitudes toward women and shifted from feminine-typed to androgynous self-descriptions over the course semester. In a developmental psychology class with the same feminist, female professor, male students' attitudes toward women remained mildly antiliberationist whereas female students' attitudes toward women became significantly more liberal over the course semester.
