Abstract

This PRISMA-based systematic review synthesized 12 studies (2000–2025) on personal breathing-zone (PBZ) nanoparticle sampling among workers. The analysis categorized direct-reading devices (CPC, DiSCmini, SMPS, ELPI) and filter-based samplers (NRD, PENS, TDS) by metric, size range, and portability. Global trends indicate a post-2015 shift toward portable, multimodal instruments, though evidence gaps remain, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The combined use of the NRD (for deposition-relevant, composition-specific analysis) and CPC/DiSCmini (for real-time exposure patterns) is identified as the most comprehensive configuration. Standardized reporting of flow, background, and uncertainty, is recommended to enhance comparability and occupational health decision-making.

Abstract

The global crisis in graduate student mental health is well-documented, yet research from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remains scarce. This study addresses this gap by conducting a sociological analysis of the nexus between academic stress and mental well-being among graduate students in Sindh, Pakistan, a context marked by significant socioeconomic constraints. A quantitative, cross-sectional design was employed, using a structured questionnaire administered to a stratified random sample of 250 M.Phil. and Ph.D. students from Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, multiple linear regression, and Chi-square tests. The analysis reveals that academic stress, financial precarity, and gender are significant predictors of poor mental well-being. Fear of unemployment/job insecurity was the highest-ranked stressor (Mean=8.92). Self-funded students were significantly more likely to report severe anxiety (41.2%) than those with grants (8.3%). Female gender was a significant predictor of poorer well-being (β=.121, p=.016). Conversely, social support demonstrated a strong protective effect (β=-.385, p<.001). The findings indicate that psychological distress among graduate students is not an individual failing but a socially structured outcome, produced by a confluence of systemic pressures, economic insecurity, and institutional practices. The study argues for a paradigm shift from pathologizing individual resilience to reforming the socioeconomic and institutional architectures of graduate education in developing contexts.

Abstract

The increasing emphasis on environmental sustainability in Malaysia highlights the need to assess green behaviour, green knowledge, self-esteem and well-being among school teachers, as they play a crucial role in shaping students' environmental awareness. Despite growing awareness of green practices in the education sector, limited research has explored the about teachers’ environmental behaviour, green knowledge, self-esteem and psychological well-being. This article presented a questionnaire designed to evaluate the level of green behaviour, green knowledge, self-esteem and well-being among school teachers in Malaysia and assess the reliability of the measurement instrument used. A quantitative approach was employed, and a structured questionnaire was distributed to 30 Malaysian school teachers. A pilot study was conducted, and reliability testing was measured by using Cronbach's alpha. This questionnaire consisting of 43 items was developed, demonstrating high internal consistency. The Cronbach’s alpha values for the green behaviour scales which includes individual practices, influencing others and organizational support were 0.928, 0.927 and 0.923, respectively, indicating excellent reliability. Additionally, the green knowledge, self-esteem and well-being scale yielded a Cronbach’s alpha value more than 0.9, signifying excellent reliability of the instrument. This questionnaire was found to be a viable instrument with high internal consistency to meet the study’s objectives. This study underscores the importance of integrating sustainability education with teacher well-being programs to enhance their engagement in green initiatives. Future research should explore longitudinal studies and broader demographic samples to further validate these findings and support the development of effective environmental policies in the Malaysian education sector.

Abstract

Preschool children with emotional and behavioral problems (EBP) are at risk of having mental health problems in adulthood. The goal of this study is to determine the prevalence of EBP and identify the predictors of EBP among preschool children in Kelantan. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 180 parents of children who are attending preschool. A set of questionnaires consisted of Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), Parenting Emotional Style Questionnaire (PESQ), Asian Family Characteristic Scale (AFCS), and Service Quality Questionnaire (SERVQUAL) to measure i) EBP, ii) parental emotional styles, iii) family values, iv) teacher's empathy, and learning environment and items, respectively. The overall prevalence of EBP was 16.1%. The prevalence of peer problems, hyperactivity problems, conduct problems, and emotional problems was 51.7%, 12.8%, 9.4%, and 6.1%, respectively. Based on Multiple Logistic Regression, parental occupational status (p = 0.046), family value (p = 0.021), and emotion dismissing parental styles (p = 0.002) were significant predictors of EBP, while there was no significant relationship between parental marital status, parental educational level, teacher's empathy, learning environment and items and emotion coaching parental styles. Therefore, early intervention is urgently needed to minimize EBP and prevent these problems in Kelantan.

Abstract

Tobacco smoking remains a formidable public health challenge in low- and middle-income countries like Pakistan. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding cigarette smoking among 800 residents of Lahore, selected via a multi-stage sampling technique. The findings reveal a smoking prevalence of 23%, with initiation primarily occurring in late adolescence (mean age 19.2 years) and driven predominantly by peer pressure (75%) and stress relief (56.3%). While knowledge of major health risks like lung cancer was high (94%), a significant gap existed between this knowledge and personal risk perception, alongside the powerful influence of socio-cultural norms, including the high social acceptability of male smoking (75.5%) and the perceived efficacy of smoking for stress relief (81.8%). The study concludes that despite adequate awareness, smoking behavior in Lahore is sustained by deep-rooted social and cultural factors, underscoring the urgent need for public health interventions that extend beyond informational campaigns to address these normative and psychological drivers.

Abstract

Self-confidence is one of the important factors in adolescent psychological development, especially in adolescent girls. Positive body image and peer social support play a significant role in shaping adolescent girls' self-confidence. This study aims to analyze the relationship between body image and peer social support with adolescent girls' self-confidence at Kendari 2 Public High School in 2025. The study employed a quantitative design using the person corelation method and a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 58 adolescent girls selected using total sampling technique. Data analysis was performed using chi square test to determine the relationship between these variables. The results showed a relationship between body image and self-confidence (p-value = 0.000 < 0.05) and peer social support and self-confidence (p-value = 0.001 < 0.05), thus accepting Ha. Body image and peer social support have a significant influence on the self-confidence of adolescent girls. This study implies the importance of improving positive body image and strong social support in supporting the development of self-confidence in adolescent girls in the school environment.
