  • The image is a horizontal bar graph with four bars, each representing a category of anxiety severity according to the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) scale. The categories, listed from the top bar down, are 'Severe anxiety' (scores 15-21), 'Moderate anxiety' (scores 10-14), 'Mild anxiety' (scores 5-9), and 'No anxiety' (scores 0-4). Each bar's length corresponds to the number of individuals in that category, with frequencies noted on the graph. The 'Mild anxiety' category has the longest bar, indicating the highest frequency, followed by 'No anxiety', 'Moderate anxiety', and 'Severe anxiety', respectively. The percentages shown above each bar denote the proportion of individuals within each category, with 'Mild anxiety' having the highest percentage of 41.20% and 'Severe anxiety' the lowest at 12.30%. The graph is a visual representation of the prevalence of anxiety at different levels within the surveyed group.

  • The image is a extract of a table titled "Thirteen Articles Coded Using Themes from Bandura (1977) and Schunk (1989)." The table consists of three columns: Authors (Date), Summary of Findings, and Theme.  The first row lists Didarloo & Khalkhali (2014), with findings that there is a positive correlation between study skills and the students' family housing status and academic level. Poor study skills can potentially jeopardize academic performance. The theme is categorized as Environmental.  The second row cites Qaiser et al. (2020)b, summarizing that the barriers faced by medical students in achieving self-regulated learning are contextual. Institutional policies may affect the autonomy and confidence of learners. The themes are Personal, Behavioral, Environmental, and Cognitive.  The third row refers to Samarasekara (2020)c, noting that most students encountered problems when using e-learning methods, and many of these problems were related to poor economic status. The themes identified are Personal and Environmental.  The table summarizes research findings on the relationship between educational factors and learning outcomes, categorized under various themes based on psychological theories.

  • The image is a Venn diagram illustrating the overlap between different anatomical regions affected by Disorders of Gut Brain Interaction (DGBI) among medical students. There are three circles representing oesophageal disorders (blue), gastroduodenal disorders (green), and bowel disorders (yellow), with varying degrees of overlap. The total number of students surveyed is 289, with 110 (38%) having oesophageal disorders, 214 (74%) with gastroduodenal, and 184 (64%) with bowel disorders. Central to the diagram is a shared intersection showing 13% of students with conditions affecting all three regions. Surrounding this are sections where two regions overlap, indicating smaller percentages of students with disorders in two regions. Each circle also contains areas with no overlap, specifying the proportion of students with conditions unique to that anatomical region.

  • The image shows a bar graph comparing median salivary IL-6 levels across three perceived stress categories: mild, moderate, and severe. The median levels increase slightly with stress, from 4.1 pg/mL in mild stress, to 4.4 pg/mL in moderate, and 4.7 pg/mL in severe stress. Each bar includes an interquartile range (IQR), indicating data variability, with overlaps between categories, suggesting that the increase in IL-6 is not consistent across different stress levels.
