    This paper critically analyzes the challenges of psychological adjustment faced by international students and explores coping mechanisms and support services that can help them overcome these challenges. The essay first introduces the background information on international students and highlights the importance of psychological adjustment for their well-being and academic success. The challenges of psychological adjustment, including cultural, academic, social adjustment, and language barrier, are discussed in detail. The essay then explores coping mechanisms, including problem-focused coping, emotion-focused coping, seeking social support, and cultural adjustment programs, and the support services, including counseling services and international student services, that can help international students adjust to their new environment. Finally, the essay evaluates the effectiveness of these coping mechanisms and support services, emphasizing the importance of cultural competence in providing effective support services. This essay has practical implications for higher education institutions in providing tailored support to international students and highlights the need for future research to explore the effectiveness of coping mechanisms and support services for different groups of international students and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their psychological adjustment

    The Effect of Social Isolation on the Mental Health of International Students

    This paper looks into how social isolation affects international college students mental health. An increase in international students studying at colleges and universities abroad can be attributed to increased global mobility over the previous few decades. Because of this, these students struggle in certain ways to fit into their new academic and social surroundings. Among these difficulties, social isolation among overseas students has been recognized as a major issue. This essay will investigate how social isolation affects the mental health of international college students by drawing on existing studies. The various types of social isolation will be covered in the essay along with how they may affect mental health. It will also be looked at whether factors like linguistic difficulties, cultural shock, prejudice, and discrimination contribute to social isolation among overseas students. In light of the hazards to mental health posed by social isolation among international students, this presentation will offer some potential solutions. The findings of the inquiry will be utilized to create solutions that can assist overseas students in reducing the detrimental impacts of social isolation on their mental health. Compared to other groups, college students’ mental health has not been adequately researched, even though social isolation can be an emotionally and mentally damaging experience. The paper will focus on the various mental health impacts that international college students experience such as depression, anxiety, and long-term psychological harm. An analysis of existing literature on the topic, interviews with international college students, and the mental health resources available to this population are also discussed. The main findings of the research show that international college students living in a foreign country experience significant levels of social isolation due to language barriers and cultural differences

    The strategies of the syntheses of various (thio)ureas, semicarbazides, thiosemicarbazides, thiazolidones, and oxadiazole derived from the [2.2]paracyclophane molecule are achieved starting with 4-(2.2]paracyclophanyl)isocyanate. The structures of the obtained products were elucidated by NMR, mass spectrometry, and infrared (IR) spectroscopy in addition to high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). X-ray structure analysis was also used to prove the assigned structure

    Copper Complexes of 1,4-Naphthoquinone Containing Thiosemicarbazide and Triphenylphosphine Oxide Moieties; Synthesis and Identification by NMR, IR, Mass, UV Spectra, and DFT Calculations

    Get PDF
    New 1,4-naphthoquinone derived by triphenylphosphaneylidene (Ph3_{3}P) and N-substituted-hydrazine-1-carbothioamides were obtained during a one-pot reaction of 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone with thiosemicarbazides, Ph3_{3}P and in the presence of triethyl amine (Et3_{3}N) as a catalyst. The structure of the ligands was established by ESI, IR, and NMR spectra, in addition to elemental analyses and X-ray structure analysis. On subjecting the newly prepared ligands with CuCl2_{2} and Ph3_{3}P, autoxidation occurs, and (E)-(2-(1,4-dioxo-3-(triphenyl phosphanylidene)-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-2(1H)-ylidene)carbamothioyl)hydrazinyl)-((triphenylphosphanyl)oxy)copper derivatives were formed in very good yields. The structure of the obtained complexes was proved by ESI, IR, NMR, and UV spectra, in addition to elemental analyses and theoretical calculations
