Early Childhood Education (ECE) is the foundation of education which helps to develop the child’s cognitive, emotional, and physical aspects. Unquestionably ECE educators play a vital role. Hence, teacher education in early childhood context is very important. However currently in Sri Lanka only very few state universities conduct Bachelor of Education in ECE and Primary Education and while other Non-State Higher Education institutes (NSHEIs) offer Early Childhood Education degrees affiliated to foreign universities. Further, presently no NSHEI offer the Ministry of Education or University Grants Commission approved degree in Early Childhood Education. Hence in this context objective of the study is to investigate the need for the Bachelor of Education ECE Degree programme at NSHEI in Sri Lanka. Study conducted in one of the prominent NSHEIs (ABC institute) in Sri Lanka. Therefore, Case study method adopted, and quantitative measures have been complemented with the qualitative measures. Sample size is seventy-five student teachers at ABC institute. This is a survey research and data collection methods are questionnaire for student teachers and key informant interviews conducted with some key stakeholders in the state universities and three preschool owners in Colombo district. Results of the study revealed that benefits of the ECE Degree to students and for the country and emphasized it is very crucial to commence the ECE programme as it provides more opportunities to students since few opportunities and capacity restraint in state universities. Furthermore, study highlighted that ninety six percent student like to start ECE Degree and if the institute commence the programme ninety percent student would like to join the programme. Therefore, study can be concludedthat ABC as a NSHEI there is a good potential and opportunity to proceed with the ECE Degree and contribute to the foundation of the education in the country which add value to the system.
幼儿教育(ECE)是教育的基础,它有助于发展儿童的认知、情感和身体方面。毫无疑问,欧洲经委会教育工作者起着至关重要的作用。因此,幼儿教师教育是非常重要的。然而,目前在斯里兰卡,只有很少的州立大学提供ECE和小学教育的教育学士学位,而其他非国立高等教育机构(NSHEIs)提供附属于外国大学的幼儿教育学位。此外,目前没有NSHEI提供教育部或大学教育资助委员会批准的幼儿教育学位。因此,在此背景下,本研究的目的是调查斯里兰卡NSHEI对教育学士学位课程的需求。研究是在斯里兰卡一家著名的ABC研究所进行的。因此,本文采用个案研究方法,定量措施与定性措施相辅相成。样本量为ABC学院的75名实习教师。这是一项调查研究,数据收集方法是对学生教师进行问卷调查,并对科伦坡地区州立大学的一些主要利益相关者和三家幼儿园业主进行了关键信息访谈。研究结果揭示了欧洲经委会学位对学生和国家的好处,并强调开始欧洲经委会课程非常重要,因为它为学生提供了更多的机会,因为州立大学的机会很少,能力有限。此外,研究强调,96%的学生喜欢开始欧洲经委会学位,如果学院开始该计划,90%的学生想加入该计划。因此,研究可以得出结论,ABC作为NSHEI,有很好的潜力和机会继续获得欧洲经委会学位,并为该国的教育基础做出贡献,为该系统增加价值。

The term Meditation is a process whereby one can make a conscious effort to relax and achieve profound peacefulness in mind. Meditation supports people to strive for transformation of the mind to take control of their inner self, understand the reality of life, practice the art of detachment and lead a simple lifestyle. This paper fundamentally assesses the impact of meditation of suspects on trial on criminal offences based on a selected prison in Sri Lanka.According to the prison performance report 2017, there is a significant growth of inmates in readmission for island wide prisons in Sri Lanka. Some of the key previous findings (Blatt, 2002) highlights, meditation is of key importance to center the focus of one’s life and enhance self-relaxation. The prime objective of this study is to assess the impact of current meditation applications for suspects on trial on criminal offences in Mahara Prison in Sri Lanka.The total population of the study is 110 inmates, and the study population was demarcated to the inmates who have been convicted and served the punishment for more than 10 years for various offences. The study population was finally determined for 48 and the researcher distributed the questionnaire for 35 inmates which cover over 70% of the study population. The researcher used primary and secondary data and descriptive and inferential statistics to analyze the respective data.One of the key findings of the study is that the Content of the meditation programme has a significant positive impact on mediating the inmates. It also highlights that the duration of the programme also has a positive impact on meditation, not only that the knowledge and the skills of the presenter also have a positive high impact on the meditation programme.
冥想这个词是一个过程,在这个过程中,一个人可以有意识地放松自己,达到内心深处的平静。冥想帮助人们努力改变思想,控制内心的自我,理解生活的现实,练习超然的艺术,过一种简单的生活方式。本文以斯里兰卡某监狱为例,从根本上评估了犯罪嫌疑人冥想对刑事犯罪审判的影响。根据2017年监狱绩效报告,斯里兰卡全岛监狱的囚犯再入院人数显著增加。之前的一些重要发现(Blatt, 2002)强调,冥想对于集中一个人的生活焦点和增强自我放松是至关重要的。本研究的主要目的是评估目前冥想应用对斯里兰卡马哈拉监狱刑事犯罪嫌疑人审判的影响。该研究的总人数为110名囚犯,研究人群被划分为因各种罪行被定罪并服刑10年以上的囚犯。研究人群最终确定为48人,研究人员向35名囚犯分发了调查问卷,这些囚犯占研究人群的70%以上。研究者使用一手数据和二手数据以及描述性和推断性统计来分析各自的数据。该研究的一个主要发现是冥想课程的内容对调解囚犯有显著的积极影响。它还强调了课程的持续时间对冥想也有积极的影响,不仅主持人的知识和技能也对冥想课程有积极的高影响。

Over-the-counter is also known as non-prescription medicine. Although, OTC can be bought without a prescription, self-medication and overusing the medications can cause many side effects. Hence, responsible selling of drugs with recommendations on proper and safe use is a key role of pharmacists and other pharmacy workers. The aim of this study was to investigate knowledge, attitudes and practices of selling orally administered OTC medicines by pharmacy workers in the Colombo district. A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed among pharmacy workers in the Colombo district, including pharmacists and non-pharmacists using a structured questionnaire. The ethical clearance was obtained from Ethics Review Committee, CINEC Campus. Out of 100 participants, 45 were males and 55 were females. As a percentage, 15% were pharmacists, 37% were assistant pharmacists and 48% were supporting workers in the pharmacy. Although Paracetamol is an OTC drug that is commonly sold in pharmacies, only 42% of the participants know the maximum adult daily dose as four g/day. The remaining 58% were not aware of the correct daily adult dose for Paracetamol and among those 13.79% were pharmacists. Further, 86% of the participants were aware that generally antacids should be taken 30 minutes before the meal to get effective action and 14% were unaware. Out of this, 14.28%, 35.71% and 50% are pharmacists, pharmacy assistants and other support staff respectively. Although antibiotics are not OTC medicine, 17% disagreed with the statement that “Antibiotics should not dispense for the common cold on patient demands”. Among the participants, 47% believe pharmacists are only responsible for dispensing and counselling patients on the drug prescribed by physicians. Although 44 % of participants never issued non-OTC medicine without a prescription, 48% have issued prescription-only drugs without a prescription occasionally, while 8% have issued non-OTC medicine without a prescription. According to the results, some workers were still unaware of the correct information regarding the OTC. It is concluded that some of the healthcare workers at pharmacies require further knowledge of OTC oral medicines.
非处方药也被称为非处方药。虽然,非处方药可以在没有处方的情况下购买,但自我用药和过度使用药物会导致许多副作用。因此,负责任地销售药品并提出正确和安全使用建议是药剂师和其他药学工作者的关键作用。本研究的目的是调查科伦坡地区药房工作人员销售口服非处方药的知识、态度和做法。在科伦坡地区的药房工作人员中进行了一项描述性横断面研究,包括药剂师和非药剂师,使用结构化问卷。获得了CINEC校区伦理审查委员会的伦理许可。在100名参与者中,有45名男性和55名女性。从百分比来看,药剂师占15%,助理药剂师占37%,药房辅助工作人员占48%。虽然扑热息痛是一种通常在药店出售的非处方药,但只有42%的参与者知道成人每日最大剂量为4克/天。其余58%不知道扑热息痛的正确成人日剂量,其中13.79%为药剂师。此外,86%的参与者意识到,一般来说,抗酸药应该在饭前30分钟服用,以达到有效效果,14%的人不知道。其中药剂师占14.28%,药剂助理员占35.71%,其他辅助人员占50%。尽管抗生素不是非处方药,但17%的人不同意“不应按患者要求为普通感冒配发抗生素”的说法。在参与者中,47%的人认为药剂师只负责按医生开的药给病人配药和提供咨询。虽然44%的参与者从未在没有处方的情况下开具非otc药品,但48%的参与者偶尔在没有处方的情况下开具处方药品,而8%的参与者在没有处方的情况下开具非otc药品。根据调查结果,一些工人仍然不知道有关OTC的正确信息。结论是,一些药店的卫生保健工作者需要进一步了解OTC口服药物。

Transportation has already become a vital part of the daily routine of people all around the world. With the increasing demand for transportation, road traffic accidents have also been increasing exponentially. Further, road traffic accidents are found to be one of the critical causes of annual deaths, injuries, and damages worldwide. Among the minor and fatal crashes, distracted driving has been identified as one of the leading causes. Sleepiness/drowsiness or fatigue in drivers can be stated as the most common reasons, and as an unavoidable and unintentional cause for distraction, because most of the time the driver would not be aware of the condition until facing a critical incident. Therefore, identifying sleepiness/drowsiness at the initial stages, and alerting the driver, would contribute to minimizing the risk of such road traffic accidents. The paper presents an automated system that is capable of identifying sleepiness/drowsiness in drivers in the initial stages and immediately alerting the driver. Furthermore, given the criticality of the situation, the system also operates a new feature of simultaneously sharing the current location of the vehicle to a pre-defined close contact of the driver to further minimize the risks and as a prevention mechanism.
交通运输已经成为世界各地人们日常生活的重要组成部分。随着交通需求的增加,道路交通事故也呈指数增长。此外,道路交通事故被认为是全世界每年造成死亡、伤害和损害的重要原因之一。在轻微和致命的撞车事故中,分心驾驶已被确定为主要原因之一。司机的困倦或疲劳可以被认为是最常见的原因,也是不可避免的和无意的分心原因,因为大多数时候,司机在面临关键事件之前不会意识到这种情况。因此,在最初阶段识别困倦,并提醒司机,将有助于最大限度地减少此类道路交通事故的风险。本文介绍了一种自动系统,该系统能够在驾驶员的初始阶段识别困倦/困倦,并立即提醒驾驶员。此外,考虑到情况的严重性,该系统还具有一项新功能,即同时将车辆的当前位置共享给预先定义的驾驶员密切接触者,以进一步降低风险,并作为一种预防机制。

According to research conducted in foreign coun-tries among undergraduates, there is a huge con-sumption of dietary supplements without proper consultation, and many have encountered adverse effects. However, there have been no satisfactory research studies done on dietary supplement usage among Allied Health Sciences undergraduates in Sri Lanka. The objective of the study was to de-scribe knowledge, attitudes, and practices of die-tary supplement usage among Allied Health Sci-ences undergraduates in Sri Lanka. In this descrip-tive cross-sectional study, a sample taken from a population of 2000 undergraduates of five Allied Health Sciences faculties in Sri Lanka were as-sessed using a structured, self-administered ques-tionnaire during the period from March 2021 to June 2022. Stratified random sampling was used to select participants from each department using population proportion and finalized by using sim-ple random sampling with 354 respondents as the sample size. According to the results obtained, the overall prevalence of dietary supplement usage was 63.8%. Of the individuals who used dietary supplements, 97.3% were female and 2.7% were male. The most common reason for using dietary supplements (91.2%) was to compensate for the lack of nutrients in the diet. Multivitamins and min-erals were the most frequently reported supple-ments (86.7%), followed by fish oil (84.5%), beauty ingredients added supplements (77.4%), weight loss supplements (75.2%), and pro-tein/amino acids (70.4%). Among undergraduates, there was widespread use of internet-driven, self-prescribed dietary supplements intake (95.1%). A significant number of undergraduates took dietary advice from their family members (79.2%). Only 67.3% asked for medical advice from physicians, pharmacists, and dietitians. In conclusion, preva-lence of dietary supplement consumption among participants is high (63.8%) but most of were not confident enough to recommend supplements to others (75.7%). Furthermore, side effects among consumers were minimum (4.9%) and most of them obtained the desired benefit. This study can be used to provide background knowledge for fu-ture researchers.
根据国外在大学生中进行的研究,在没有经过适当咨询的情况下,大量消费膳食补充剂,许多人都遇到了不良反应。然而,在斯里兰卡的联合健康科学本科生中,膳食补充剂的使用情况并没有令人满意的研究。本研究的目的是描述斯里兰卡联合健康科学本科生对膳食补充剂使用的知识、态度和实践。在这项描述性横断面研究中,从斯里兰卡五个联合健康科学学院的2000名本科生中抽取样本,在2021年3月至2022年6月期间使用结构化、自我管理的问卷进行了评估。采用分层随机抽样,按人口比例从各部门中抽取参与者,最终采用简单随机抽样,样本量为354人。根据所得结果,膳食补充剂的总体使用率为63.8%。在服用膳食补充剂的个体中,97.3%为女性,2.7%为男性。使用膳食补充剂最常见的原因(91.2%)是为了弥补饮食中缺乏的营养。复合维生素和矿物质是最常见的补品(86.7%),其次是鱼油(84.5%)、美容成分添加补品(77.4%)、减肥补品(75.2%)和蛋白质/氨基酸(70.4%)。在大学生中,普遍使用互联网驱动的、自我规定的膳食补充剂摄入(95.1%)。相当多的大学生(79.2%)接受了家庭成员的饮食建议。只有67.3%的人向医生、药剂师和营养师寻求医疗建议。综上所述,参与者中食用膳食补充剂的比例很高(63.8%),但大多数人没有足够的信心向他人推荐补充剂(75.7%)。此外,消费者的副作用最小(4.9%),大多数人获得了预期的效益。本研究可为未来研究者提供背景知识。
