The purpose of this thesis was to find out the knowledge, attitudes and practices of breast cancer among college students in Nepal. The aim of this study was the student benefits from the awareness programme that was provided during the thesis process and to improve their knowledge of breast cancer.
The quantitative research methodology was used in this thesis. Survey questionnaires were used as a research instrument. There were altogether 86 female students and 29 male students participated in data collection process. Thirty-one closed ended questions along with demographic profile were formulated to gather data. The questions were divided into 5 subtypes: knowledge regarding breast cancer, screening practices of breast cancer, seeking behaviour, sources of breast cancer information and attitude re-garding breast cancer. A survey questionnaire was distributed to the students and data were collected. An awareness programme was conducted and post data were collected to evaluate the difference in knowledge level of students. Data were analysed quantitatively using SPSS software. Data were analysed in terms of frequencies, percentages, Pearson’s correlation test and T-test analysis for different categorical variables.
The knowledge level of female participants regarding breast cancer in pre data was found to be poor level which increased to very good level after awareness programme. Similarly, screening practices were found to be poor level in pre-test results and after the awareness programme, it was increased to excellent level. Only 9% participants were performing breast self-examination for the reason that the participants did not know exactly how to perform it. The Ttest, p=0.0001 denotes there was significant increase in knowledge level post awareness programme. The knowledge level of male participant was at good level. All male participants responded that they supports women with breast cancer and almost all responded that breast cancer patients should be cared and support by the family and community.
The students had poor knowledge level regarding breast cancer. Only few students knew about breast self-examination and were performing correctly. This shows that the people in Nepal are still lacking knowledge regarding breast cancer, hence high mortality rate from breast cancer compared to developed countries. The simple steps of educating women about awareness regarding breast cancer can help them detect breast cancer early and have optimal survival rates with cancer treatment.

The way ahead for London’s bus priority at traffic signals
No full textLondon has a long history of successful schemes for bus priority at traffic signals. Recently, Transport for London (TfL) has procured a modern automatic vehicle location (AVL) system for bus fleet management, passenger information and bus priority. The new system is known as iBUS and is based on global positioning system (GPS) and supporting technologies for bus location. The system eliminates the need for on-street hardware for detecting buses and provides more flexibility and opportunity for using bus detectors. However, bus location based on this system is less accurate than location based on fixed infrastructure (e.g. beacons) and could result in reduced benefits from bus priority. This paper first summarises how bus priority at traffic signals works within iBUS, and then explores the effects of GPS locational errors on bus priority benefits. This is followed by a discussion of opportunities available in the context of iBUS to build an even more efficient and beneficial bus priority system by taking advantage of its cost-effective multiple detection capabilities. The paper is based on various studies carried out by the Transportation Research Group (TRG) at the University of Southampton for TfL
