Social media is playing a vital role in the promotion of green products by reshaping the millennial green purchasing intention and green consumption behaviors, resulting in progressive growth toward sustainable environment and lower carbon emission. Non-organic consumption among humans has increased the carbon emission in contrary risked environment; therefore, consumption behavior and purchasing intention are required to change for better sustainable environment. This study's goal is to determine the effects of social media in molding the consumption behaviors while considering eco-labeling, eco-branding, social norms, and purchase intensions among millennials to promote green consumption and lower carbon emission...

METHODS: Semi-structured qualitative interviews with 28 medical students were performed and analyzed using Mayring's content analysis...

Generational theory states that as a result of experiencing the same life-altering, world-wide events at key developmental ages, individuals of a given generation share unique perspectives, values, and traits compared to other generations as reported by Johnson and Romanello ( Nurse Educ . 30(5):212-216, 2005) and Howe and Strauss 2000. Thus, while individual variation still exists, generational theory can be used as a tool to predict individual behavior and capitalize on shared traits in the workplace or educational setting...

The higher education sector was affected by this pandemic, managing enduring challenges since early 2020. Institutions of higher learning (IHL) are prepared to address unsurmountable challenges to ensure that students are not deceived and are being given the proper nurture, coupled with adherence to syllabuses. Simultaneously, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused unscrupulous pressure on students of these institutions. The psychological waves are creating mammoth consequences, affecting the beneficiaries of the higher education system and their families...

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 pandemic pushed all educational institutions to rely exclusively on technology-based learning. As this was done for the first time, it is ideal to evaluate the e-learning program to refine and consolidate the learned experience. Hence, the current study was undertaken to evaluate the online learning and teaching experiences of students and teachers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This program evaluation on e-learning was carried out in the department of Community Medicine (DCM) in a private medical college using context/input/process/product framework among IV, VI, and VII semester undergraduate students and faculties in DCM who were exposed to e-learning for the period of 2 months since April 2020...

PURPOSE: This study contributes to discourses and dilemmas where students/teachers experience intergenerational learning environments. It explores the underarticulated differences between post-millennials and baby boomers sharing accounts of the lived experiences of learners and educators on either side of such divides shedding a light on generation gaps hoping to inform faculty development. METHODS: Interpretative phenomenology was chosen to articulate "whatness" and extract meaningful understandings...

Background: Experiences of discrimination are prevalent among minority populations, although often empirical evidence does not provide depth into the source and types of discrimination, such as racial/ethnic, gender-based, age, etc. The goal of this study was to assess the unique patterns, types, and sources of discrimination experiences that college students face and explore the role these experiences play in their mental health. Methods: An explanatory sequential mixed-methods study was utilized. Quantitative assessment of college students from a Hispanic and minority-serving institution was conducted to evaluate experiences of discrimination and its association to physical health and mental health (including psychological distress), as well as food insecurity, a marker for poverty...

Anatomy has historically been considered a static science, not research-lead. Cadaveric anatomy provided an evidence for a more precise anatomy teaching, however, small samples were used for absolute truths. Preservation techniques allowed to expand this, yet, research was limited to descriptive and comparative studies. As anatomy teaching evolved from descriptive, to clinically oriented, to evidence-based, and having a growing role in other sciences, it caused an exponential growth in its' publications. Anatomical research aided to establish evolutionary and functional databases of variability between populations, sex, and age...
