“…Our study found that female medical students have better MARSI scores and this is confirmed [24] in other studies . In contrast to our result another study of 100 undergraduate students could not find significant difference in metacognitive awareness of female and male [25] students .…”

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Students reading strategies strongly influence their academic performance. Our study aimed to determine medical students' metacognitive awareness during reading strategies and its relation with their academic scores. METHODOLOGY: Study was done among third year MBBS students of Aziz Fatima Medical College Faisalabad. Students previous years academic achievement information was collected and they also filled questionnaire on metacognition regulation by the Metacognitive Awareness Reading Strategies Inventory. Convenient sampling was used for this study. The data were analyzed in SPSS 20. In our study the independent variable was metacognitive score while previous professional examination marks were taken as the dependent variable.Standard deviation and mean were used for the descriptive data. For categorical data, percentage and frequencies were used. RESULTS: Different reading strategies employed by medical students in relation to metacognition were our main focus in the study. Metacognition was taken as score measured by a 30 item MARSI scale and their academic performance measured in terms of total marks obtained in the last professional examination held by the University. Total 101 out of 110 students from 3rd year MBBS class were enrolled in the study and the response rate was 92%. Forty one (41) respondents were females and sixty (60) respondents were male the mean± SD age of students was 21.05±0.74. CONCLUSION: All dimensions of metacognition are positive and strongly correlated with each other’s. Higher the score in one dimension will cause positive change in other dimension score and vice versa.

“…Despite the innate gender differences in sleep physiology (Bixler et al, 2009; Yokuşoğlu et al, 2017), we did not observe any significant differences in the effectiveness of DTs and DT types based on gender. The largest numerical difference between the genders was observed in the case of the obscene expressions DT.…”

“…In our previous study, we found a higher predisposition for females to intentionally enter LDs compared to males (Raduga et al, 2022). The results of this and previous studies are likely because of innate differences in sleep physiology between genders (Bixler et al, 2009; Yokuşoğlu et al, 2017), which need further study.…”

Lucid dreams (LDs) are characterized by the presence of consciousness and the ability of a person to influence the dream plot. At present, LD induction is a challenging task, and a comparative analysis of LD techniques is needed. In this study, we compare the effectiveness of different LD induction techniques, including phantom wiggling, observing images, and imagining movements. All the techniques are intended to transfer consciousness from wakefulness into a dream. In an online experiment, volunteers were instructed to try each of the techniques three times following each of the following methods: while falling asleep in the evening (direct method [DM]), while falling asleep after an interrupted sleep (deferred direct method [DDM]), and immediately upon awakening (indirect method [IM]). A report was considered successful if at least one attempt out of three led to an LD. In total, nine attempts were made for each technique. Overall, 1,119 reports were received. For the phantom wiggling technique, the efficiency rates were 11% for the DM, 32% for the DDM, and 24% for the IM. For the observing images technique, the efficiency rates were 11% for the DM, 17% for the DDM, and 31% for the IM. For the imagining movement technique, the efficiency rates were 7% for the DM, 24% for the DDM, and 31% for the IM. Despite the substantial differences among them, all three techniques can be effective for LD induction with similar efficiency. The goal of further studies is to compare all other LD induction techniques to find the most and least effective ones. This can improve our understanding of the nature of LDs and the effectiveness of their study.
