Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted at Foundation University College of Dentistry, Islamabad in January 2020 over a period of 2 weeks. On the basis of VARK questionnaire, learning styles of first to final year undergraduate dental students were analysed. The questionnaire consisted of 16 items and identified four different learning styles: visual, aural, reading/writing and kinaesthetic. A total of 132 students were included in this study. The filled out questionnaires were scored according to the VARK tool and then statistically analysed to determine the distribution of different learning styles among students. Results: A total of 126 students out of 132 responded with the response rate of 95.5%. The results showed that the frequency of a single learning style (unimodal) in the study population was 63.5% while the freque...

However, with the emphasis on student-centered learning and due to advancement in information technology, its role must be reassessed. Objective: To correlate class attendance of Pharmacology students of Rehman Medical College with their academic performance. Materials & Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional correlational study was conducted in the Department of Pharmacology, Rehman Medical College, Peshawar, from May to August 2017 on students of academic session 2014-15. Academic performance of students in different internal examinations was evaluated and correlated with their attendance. Students were divided into two groups; Group I, with 75% or more class attendance and Group II, with less than 75% attendance. Data were analyzed by SPSS 20 for descriptive statistics; group comparisons were done using Chi Square Test for frequencies and Student’s T test for Me...

The carbon dioxide (CO2) emission of greenhouse gases causes global warming and climate change. Efforts have been taken on renewable sources to meet the energy demand as well as for sustainable life. This study identifies the potential of grid connected wind turbine (GCWT) system for domestic use in Kuala Besut, Peninsular Malaysia. This is done through designing and analyzing the system using HOMER software. The system configuration consists of wind turbine, grid model, load data and wind speed data. Domestic load and wind speeds as primary data are required to estimate the system designed. The simulation result shows that the GCWT system reduces the electricity bill to RM0.759/KWh instead of RM0.924/KWh by grid connected only. The lowest net present cost (NPC) of RM697,240 was found for the GCWT system compared to the grid system. It is con...

A structured, interviewer-guided questionnaire was used to identify patient satisfaction level with their general dental appearance and desired treatments. Descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation (SD) for continuous variables and frequency and percentage for categorical variables were determined. The chi-square test was used to compare the age of patient’s satisfaction level with their dental appearance. The level of significance was set at 0.05.Results:Out of 400 patients, 39 % were males and 60% were females. Mean age recoded was 25.05+10.02 years. Of these patients, 64% were not satisfied with their general dental appearance. In addition, 59% were not happy with ...
