The EuroLifeNet Study: How Different Microenvironments Influence Personal Exposure to PM_2.5among High-School Students in Milan

Epidemiological studies show that long-term exposure to PM is associated with an increased risk of cancer. The EuroLifeNet study measured the personal exposure to PM2.5 in 90 pupils attending three schools in Milan, using a portable nephelometer, over a three-week period spanning November and December 2006. Background levels explained 40% of the variability of the exposure. Methods: As a second part of that study we analyzed the role of different microenvironments as determinants of personal exposure to PM2.5. Results: Exposure was influenced by the time of day, zone of the city and different microenvironments. Exposure was higher indoors than out, and indoors it was higher in the kitchen, particularly during cooking. In outdoor environments exposure was higher at bus stops where road traffic was heavy. Conclusions: Even though background concentration can be a good predictor of personal exposure to PM, students’ personal exposure is strongly influenced by different microenvironments and should be considered in population studies. The EuroLifeNet experience gives a contribution to personal exposure measure methodology.

Stress and Health Habits in College Students

Research has demonstrated that college students experience stress from sources such as poor self-care habits, educational demands, daily hassles, and perceived control over situations. The present study examined perceived stress, health habits, and daily hassles and uplifts among 135 college freshmen. We hypothesized that students with lower stress levels would be male, would have better self-care health habits, would experience fewer minor medical health issues, would have higher academic performance, and would experience fewer daily hassles and more daily uplifts than students who experienced high perceived stress. Strong support was obtained for the hypothesis that students with low perceived stress had better health habits. Students with low perceived stress also experienced significantly fewer hassles and more uplifts per month. There were no significant effects of perceived stress on grade point average or minor medical issues, and there were no significant gender differences in levels of stress. The results could help college freshmen adjust to challenges of college by helping them understand some of the effects of stress and benefits of reducing that stress.

Combining User-Driven Social Marketing with System-Driven Personalized Recommendation for Student Finding

Student selection is of crucial importance for supervisors who are choosing students for postgraduate studies or research projects.Due to the challenge of asymmetric information,it is difficult for them to find suitable candidates.The existing methods do not work so well in the web 2.0 context which is inundated with vast online information.In order to overcome the deficiency,a research social network enhanced approach is proposed to provide decision support.It appeals to supervisors to adopt the proposed user-driven social marketing strategy.Meanwhile,this study mainly presents a system-driven personalized recommendation approach to support supervisors'decisions of student selection.The proposed method distinguishes supervisors based on their co-author networks to extract their potential preferences of collaboration styles.Subsequently,corresponding recommendation strategies are employed to provide personalized student recommendation services for targeted supervisors.A prototype is implemented on ScholarMate which provides online communication channels for researchers.A user study is conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.The results enlighten designers to consider the differences among different users when designing recommendation strategies.
