Changes in clinical laboratory operations and biosafety measures to mitigate biohazard risks during the COVID-19 pandemic

The Covid-19 outbreak has also led to significant changes in football, such as the suspension of leagues, isolation, and the fact that football players are forced to train on their own. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if there were differences in the level of preparation, practices, and motivation for athletic training among young professional football players during the Covid-19 pandemic, depending on the level of competition. The sample of respondents consisted of 82 young football players from Bosnia and Herzegovina, divided into the first league group (n=47, 18.30±0.62 age) and the second league group (n=35, 17.66±0.73 age). The questionnaire for sports preparation and training (SPEQ) was used, which consists of 11 items and was created according to the existing questionnaire for self-assessment of the level of preparation and type of training of athletes during the training process in the Covid-19 pandemic. Also, a questionnaire on sports motivation during the Covid-19 pandemic was used, consisting of 18 items related to motivation to participate in sports, modified according to the Participation Motivation Questionnaire (PMQ). A five-point Likert scale was used for the questionnaire. The questionnaire was available in electronic form and was sent to the football players through a Google form. The difference was found only in the frequency of the type of exercise in two variables, while there were no differences between the groups of young football players in the other variables of training frequency, level of preparation, and motivation in sports training. It was also established that despite the Covid-19 situation, the motivation for sports training among young football players was at a very high level.

COVID-19 has changed the daily lives of citizens around the world and exposed the vulnerability of life and the functioning of cities. The pandemic has forced citizens to adapt to new models of remote work during quarantine and access to smart technology-based services. The article aims to assess citizens' perceptions of the technological solutions provided by smart cities and, in particular, the municipality of Paphos before and after the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as to evaluate their impact on citizens' mental health. The results of the study contribute to the understanding of the mental health benefits for citizens living in smart cities compared to people living in low-tech areas, revealing the potential positive effects of smart technologies, as well as the change in people's digital decision-making before and after the pandemic

In 2020, preschool teachers to college professors to workforce trainers are researching best practices for learning at distance in response to the COVID-19 school closings. Educators are faced with the unexpected challenge of delivering distance learning as the primary mode of instruction due to the Coronavirus pandemic. An outbreak of Covid-19 has dramatically impacted the way people live, work, and interact on a global level over the past few years. This article looks at the field of education and the radical changes it is experiencing due to the need to digitally transform education and training processes in record time with academics who lack the technical skills needed for online teaching. Moreover, we will discuss the challenges and solutions within the COVID-19 pandemic transition. Our study focused on the three campuses (Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint) of the University of Michigan. The discussion and conclusion provide valuable insights into the digitalization of education.

Perceived impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on residency training in American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia programs in North America: a quantitative survey

The lockdowns and curfews during the COVID-19 pandemic have halted economic and transportation activities across the world. This study aims to investigate air pollution levels in the Marmara region, particularly in Istanbul, before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study used real data provided by the General Directorate of Meteorology and applied three machine learning algorithms (ANN, RBFreg, and SMOreg) to analyze air pollution data. In addition, a one-sample t-test was performed to compare air pollution levels before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Marmara region and Istanbul. The results of the study showed a significant reduction in the particulate matter (PM) value, which indicates the degree of air pollution, in both the Marmara region and Istanbul during the COVID-19 pandemic. The one-sample t-test results showed that the reduction in air pollution levels was statistically significant in both areas (t = 11.45, p < .001 for the Marmara region, and t = 3.188, p < .001 for Istanbul). These findings have important practical implications for decision-makers planning for a more sustainable environment. Overall, the study provides valuable insights into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on air pollution levels in the Marmara region, particularly in Istanbul. The application of machine learning algorithms and statistical analysis provides a rigorous approach to the investigation of this important issue by comparing before and during the COVID-19 outbreak.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the global economy, including in Türkiye. The tax accrual-collection rate is one area that has been impacted. The purpose of this study is to examine how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected Türkiye's tax accrual-collection rates at the provincial and regional levels. Data will be collected and analyzed to determine the extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak has affected the tax accrual and collection rate in Türkiye, as well as any potential mitigating factors or strategies that have been implemented to address the impact. In the study, accrual-collection rates in the pre-pandemic period and the post-pandemic period were compared at the provincial and regional levels. According to the findings, there have been serious decreases in tax collection in Türkiye after the pandemic process. At the regional level in 2020, the accrual/collection ratio decreased in all regions of Türkiye compared to the pre-pandemic period. At the provincial level, this rate has decreased in 51 of the 81 provinces. The basis of this decrease in tax revenues was the tax regulations implemented to eliminate the economic disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
