Abstract
Background. Recent scientific reports in dentistry and psychology tend to emphasize the role of various personality traits in temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) multimodal etiology. Since type D personality is a new construct, there has not been much research published regarding this subject. It encompasses both the tendency to experience negative emotions and the tendency to refrain from expressing them. The impact of this combined effect on the increase in stress intensity and the development of somatic and psychiatric illnesses is clearly highlighted. The data presented in the scientific report complement previous insights during ongoing research on Type D personality in people with TMD predisposing factors.
Aim. The aim of this article was to assess the influence of type D personality and its two dimensions on the prevalence of symptoms located in TMJ and adjacent tissues, predisposing factors, depression, and levels of perceived stress.
Material and methods. The study was conducted on a group of 240 physiotherapy students. The study group (G1) comprised of 120 students with DS. 14 type D personality. The control group (G2) consisted of the same number of people without Type D personality. Data obtained included symptoms of TMJ symptoms, and predisposing factors according to original questionnaire form developed for the study; PSS10 stress severity questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were also used.
Results. In the study group, TMD symptoms significantly positively correlate with type D personality (with NE a stronger correlation than with SI), PSS10 and BDI, and negatively correlate with age. Students with type D personality had significantly more frequent and higher TMD symptoms than those without stress personality (p = 0.000). The exception was the symptom of increased muscle tension which showed no statistical difference (p = 0.222). People with Type D personality are more than 6 times more likely to clench their teeth (OR = 6.76) and 3 times more likely to have TMJ acoustic symptoms (OR = 3.35) and teeth grinding (OR = 3.27). In the study group, as the level of perceived stress and degree of depression increased, the number of TMJ and preauricular area complaints reported were also on the rise. In the group of students with type D personality, depression was significantly more frequent than in the group without stress personality (p = 0.000).
Conclusion. Students with Type D personality risk experiencing more TMJ and preauricular area issues, while coping with more stress and depressed mood.

Abstract
There have been a number of studies conducted on the benefits of aerobic and mobility training for enhancing BMI. However, its usefulness in a virtual classroom setting has not been tested in any academic studies. The purpose of this controlled experiment is to determine whether or not different types of aerobic and mobility training lead to significant improvement in body mass index among study participants. This study has employed an experimental research design in which the students will undergo a series of aerobic and mobility training exercises for four consecutive weeks while accounting for participants’ gender and BMI. The participants for the study are one section of undergraduate students from a college in the Philippines. A survey questionnaire with two parts was utilized. For the first part, personal profiles such as gender and pre-test Body Mass Index are all included. The second part requested the participants to answer the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q). After performing the series of exercises, it was found that a significant difference was observed between male and female students concerning their performance, in which male students performed better compared to their counterparts. Most importantly, a significant difference was observed between the pre-test and post-test scores of the students. It can be concluded that the various aerobic and mobility training exercises are efficient for students in improving their BMI, even in an online learning environment. The continuous use of the following exercises is highly recommended. Finally, practical implications, limitations, and future research directions are also presented.

Abstract
Background and Objective. Most of the earlier studies explored the prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among university students with self-report measures. The aim of the present study was to find the prevalence of ADHD among south Indian university students.
Methods. This is a Cross sectional study conducted In different universities in south India. The Adult ADHD Symptoms Self-Report (ASRS) was filled out by 419 university students. A two-step procedure was done by using the ASRS 6 item screener, an 18-item scale. The sum of the 18 dichotomized items is computed only for those subjects who scored higher than 3 on the 6-item screener, and those who received a total score of higher than 10 are considered as likely to have ADHD. Data analysis was done using descriptive and analytical statistics in SPSS software.
Results. The self-reported ADHD prevalence rate among university students was 7%. The prevalence of ADHD was greater in females than males.
Conclusion. ADHD Prevalence is common among university students. To know the actual prevalence rate of ADHD structured interviews, clinical evaluations are needed.

Fizjoterapia Polska 2010; 10(2); 136-148

Abstract
Introduction and Objective. Physiotherapy as a university degree programme was first offered in Poland in 1997, with courses including 3-year Bachelor-level and 2-year Master-level programmes. The education of physiotherapists in Poland currently takes place at three types of university-level schools: medical universities (MS), universities of physical education (PE) and university-level schools of orientations not connected with medicine or physical education (OU).This study aims to analyse and compare opinions of MS, PE and OU students on the curricula offered by the three types of university-level schools. Material and methods. The study involved a total of 593 students in their third year of Bachelor programme studies from 10 university-level schools of different educational orientations. Participation in the study was voluntary and anonymous involved completing a questionnaire distributed in March and April 2009. The questionnaire, designed by the authors, consisted of 4 parts and contained a total of 88 questions. The statistical analysis of the survey data (STATISTICA 9.0) was conducted using the Kruskall-Wallis test. Results. The majority of MS students believed the amount of practical classes was appropriate, while PE and OU participants assessed it as insufficient (p=NS). The MS students were satisfied with the amount of time of working directly with patients during clinical classes, while their PE and OU counterparts found the time insufficient. The largest number of MS, PE and OU participants declared that training in special techniques in physiotherapy was insufficient (p=NS). Conclusions. 1. It would be advisable to combine the clinical experience of medical universities with the facilities and teaching staff of specialists in physiotherapy-related courses available in universities of physical education in order to improve the quality of physiotherapy education in Poland.2. In view of the current level of research in physiotherapy, it seems important to provide students with high quality training in state-of-the-art physiotherapy techniques.
