Damage of Sedentary Lifestyle in Adult Life Because of The Lack of Practice of Activities in Physical Education Discipline in the Contemporary World

Sedentarism is a serious public health problem, as physical inactivity over the years can lead to several noncommunicable chronic diseases, which in Brazil and in the world have shown a high mortality rate. In this context, the objective of this article was to discuss the impacts of a sedentary lifestyle on the health of the adult population due to the lack of physical activity at school age, especially in Physical Education classes, considering that the regular practice of physical exercises is a of the most effective alternatives against this problem. Studies show that health and quality of life awareness must be initiated within classrooms, which must be cultivated and worked on in a didactic-pedagogical context, with the active participation not only of students, but also of their families, in the construction of the school's pedagogical political projects. However, with technological development, increasing urbanization and the increase in violence, many children and young people have reduced their affinity for sports and physical activities in general, which can have bad consequences for their future. Therefore, Physical Education becomes an increasingly important subject for students to be aware of the benefits of practicing physical activities in childhood/adolescence. But for it to become more significant, is necessary for there to be changes in attitudes, even by teachers, regarding the improvement of classes, to help combat sedentary lifestyles within the school environment, enabling the formation of active, critical citizens who are concerned with your long-term health and well-being.

Risk Analysis and Assessment of Butane-Propane Splitter Column in the Skikda Refinery Petroleum Plant

Risk analysis and assessment are extremely important in the petrochemical sector to prevent potential risks. This study was carried out at Gas platform (unit No 30) of Skikda refinery Algeria, with the aim of predicting and estimating the effects of major explosions in the propane and butane Splitter column and estimating the possible human and environmental consequences of the containment loss. The methodology developed here is based on a combination of HAZOP presentation and PHAST tool. First, HAZOP is used to capture the responsible derivations of operating parameters to produce the worst consequences. Related Causes, safety barriers and some recommendations are carried out in a HAZOP sheet which represents all of that. Then the major scenarios detected by the worst consequences have been studied and modeled by PHAST software. The modeling process is completed by simulating the principal effects (Jetfire, BLEVE, UVCE) resulting from two scenarios in the form of two potential leaks on the bottom and the head of a gas separator column containing butane and propane respectively. The results are shown on the region map to indicate the exact threaten zones. Finally, a comparison in terms of effects between the two scenarios is performed and some conclusions are extracted.

Increasing social resilience against climate change risks: a case of extreme climate affected countries

PurposeSocial development is the ultimate goal of every nation, and climate change is a major stumbling block. Climate Risk Index has documented several climate change events with their devastations in terms of lives lost and economic cost. This study aims to link the climate change and renewable energy with the social progress of extreme climate affected countries.Design/methodology/approachThis research used the top 50 most climate-affected countries of the decade and estimated the impact of climate risk on social progress with moderation effects of renewable energy and technology. Several competing panel data models such as quantile regression, bootstrap quantile regression and feasible generalized least square are used to generate robust estimates.FindingsThe results confirm that climate hazards obstruct socioeconomic progress, but renewable energy and technology can help to mitigate the repercussion. Moreover, improved institutions enhance the social progress of nations.Research limitations/implicationsGovernment should improve the institutional quality that enhances their performance in terms of Voice and Accountability, Political Stability and Absence of Violence, Government Effectiveness, Regulatory Quality, Rule of Law and Control of Corruption to increase social progress. In addition, society should use renewable energy instead of fossil fuels to avoid environmental degradation and health hazards. Innovation and technology also play an important role in social progress and living standards, so there should be free hand to private business research and development, encouraging research institutes and universities to come forward for innovation and research.Practical implicationsThe ultimate goal of all human struggle is to have progress that facilitates human beings to uplift their living standard. One of the best measures that can tell us about a nation’s progress is Social Progress Index (SPI), and one of many factors that can abruptly change it is the climate; so this study is an attempt to link the relationship among these variables and also discuss the situation where the impact of climate can be reduced.Social implicationsAlthough social progress is an important concept of today’s economics discussion, relatively few studies are using the SPI to measure social well-being. Similarly, there is consensus about the impact of climate on people, government and crops but relatively less study about its overall impact on social progress, so this study attempts to fill the gap about the relationship between social progress and climate change.Originality/valueThe main contribution of this study is the solution for the impact of climate risk. Climate risk is not in human control, and we cannot eliminate it, but we can reduce the negative impacts of climate change. Moderator impact of renewable energy decreases the negative impact of climate change, so there is a need to use more renewable energy to mitigate the bad consequences of climate on social progress. Another moderator is technology; using technology will also mitigate the negative consequences of the climate, so there is a need to facilitate technological advancement.

Research on the Practical Path of Green Consumption in China under the Concept of Green Development in the New Era

Since the reform and opening up, China’s economy and society have developed rapidly and achieved great construction results. However, the rough development has brought a series of bad consequences, especially the ecological environment is getting worse and worse, so it is especially important to promote green development. Green development is to focus on the common development of economy, ecology and natural environment, to save resources and to adhere to the road of sustainable development. With the development of the times, the green consumption mode has become a new way of consumption. This mode is complementary to green development and follows the principles and concepts of green development. Green consumption is also a concrete embodiment of this concept. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the challenges faced by the implementation of green consumption policy in China and to put forward some feasible suggestions.

Heart Disease Classification for Early Diagnosis based on Adaptive Hoeffding Tree Algorithm in IoMT Data

Heart disease is a rapidly increasing disease that causes death worldwide. Therefore, scientists around the globe start studying this issue from a different perspective to assure early prediction of diagnosis to save patients' life from bad consequences that cause death. In this regard, Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) applications and algorithms should be utilized effectively to overcome this problem. Hoeffding Tree Algorithm (HTA) is a standard decision tree algorithm to handle large sizes of data sets. In this paper, an Adaptive Hoeffding Tree (AHT) algorithm is suggested to carry out classifications of data sets for early diagnosis of heart disease-related factors, and the obtained results by this algorithm are compared with other suggested Machine Learning (ML) algorithms in the literature. Therefore, a total of 3000 records of data sets are used in the classification, 33% of the data are utilized for female patient information, and the rest of the data are utilized for male patient information. In the original data set, each patient record includes 76 attributes, however only the most important 16 patient attributes are used for the classification. Data are retrieved from the University of California Irvine (UCI) Machine Learning Repository, which is collected from the Hungarian Institute of Cardiology, University Hospital at Zurich, University Hospital at Basel, and V.A. Medical Center. The obtained results from this study and the provided comparative results show the effectiveness of the AHT algorithm over other ML algorithms. Compared to other ML algorithms, AHT outperforms other algorithms with 95.67% accuracy for early estimation of diagnosis of heart disease.

The Yin and the Yang of New Technologies

Imagine technology as a living being. Perched on its left shoulder is a miniature angel, representing the good uses and beneficial consequences of the technology. On its right shoulder is a small devil, the bad or unintended consequences of the technological application. Every technology that I know has these two potential results: one that we might call “good,” and the other we might deem “bad,” or, at least, “undesirable.”

The House of Bourbon and Сonstitutional Revolutions in Southern Europe

The article examines the transfer of ideas and practices of constitutionalism from Spain to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in 1812–1820. On the basis of dispatches of the Russian envoy in Naples Gustav Stackelberg, the author analyses the features of the revolutionary events of the summer — autumn of 1820. The immediate objects of Count Stackelberg’s observation in Naples were the situation of the Bourbon monarchy and the new constitutional government; their relations with the Carbonari society; relations within the diplomatic corps and among representatives of the great powers. The article also examines texts of constitutional acts that formed the main milestones of the development of constitutionalism in Southern Europe: the Bayonne Statute of 1808, the Cadiz Constitution of 1812, the Sicilian Constitution of 1812, the French Charter of 1814, and the “constitution of Murat” of 1815. An attempt is made to compare the constitutional revolutions in Spain and Italy in 1820–1823: contradictions of domestic politics, the struggle of the Liberal Party and the opposition, support for the army, parliamentary activity, the fight against separatist movements, complications in foreign policy and opposition to the Holy Alliance, the role of Kings Ferdinand VII of Spain and Ferdinand I of Naples in the development of constitutional practice. This approach corresponds to modern trends in the history of the Restoration era, in which the concept of the “liberal international” is tested against Russian diplomatic sources. G. Stackelberg did not just observe the Neapolitan Revolution; he noted obvious parallels with the Spanish Revolution and reported on any attempts of covert contacts of revolutionaries from all over Europe. His political ideal was the French Charter of 1814, the application of which to the Neapolitan political situation he wanted to see in order to avoid the worst consequences of the intervention of the Austrian Empire. The author concludes that the borrowing of the Spanish constitution by the Neapolitans took place within the prepared framework, becoming a logical stage in the development of constitutionalism in countries close to each other not only in spirit, but being for a long time in the orbit of the French revolutionary and Napoleonic despotic influence. The article also shows that Stackelberg modernized the pattern of the era about the “pan-European conspiracy” and created its more moderate version based on his observations of the development of the constitutional revolution in Naples.

The article examines the economic aspect of international conflicts, in particular the role of the economic component in international conflicts. Individual causes of occurrence, management methods and principles of conflict resolution were studied, in order to structure theoretical knowledge about conflicts and determining the role of economic aspects in the reasons of conflicts, its influence on their course and the possibility of applying of economy as a lever that contributes to the prevention, resolution or minimization of the negative consequences of international conflicts, the search for solutions and the prevention of such in the future, also by taking into account the results of previous scientific studies and using the examples of modern in- terstate disputes. The main three functions that can be performed by the conflict economy have been defined and the importance of such roles for understanding the nature of the conflict and determining the methodology of its management and resolution has been defined. Author studied the reasons of actual conflicts in Europe and in Asia to reveal the role of economic aspects of each conflict in order to realize how is economy applied in those conflicts and if it could be as an instrument of aggression or as an instrument of stabilization and resolving the conflict. Also, the nature of conflicts itself was examined to understand if it is possible to find some signs that there is a possibility that a conflict is coming. Could this understanding help to prevent the worst consequences of such foreign policy or how to manage it better. Some aspects of the psychology of the conflict were examined. The aim of studying this aspect was for also realize what are the aspects which give the possibility to the government to step in the conflict. And which are the internal policy of some country could testify that the country is preparing to some kind of a conflict. The different systems of internal state organizing were examined to understand which of them is more stable and which one is less stable and could not only move forward to the conflict, but also could be a kind of such conflict.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Learning English Online

Learning English is not an easy feat. We used to travel long distances to learn English from the best English teachers when we were younger. We may now study English without leaving our homes by using the internet; all we need is reliable internet access. As we all know, there are several advantages to studying English online, yet there are drawbacks if we do so incorrectly. I utilized a quantitative research technique to identify the advantages and disadvantages of online English learning. First, I used Google Forms to determine the most pertinent 15 questions for participants, which took approximately three months, and I obtained 95 responses out of 100 surveys on the benefits and drawbacks of online English learning. By extensively investigating the replies, we can appropriately establish the weightiness of the pros and cons of studying English on the internet. Although technology and multimedia make it easier to study English, there are advantages and problems due to poor internet usage. According to research, there are a plethora of advantages we may reap if we apply the right implications of using internet resources to learn any language, not only English. Without a doubt, if we exploited the internet in the wrong way, there would be a slew of bad consequences for our society as a whole.

Kamata u Kur'anu i njene posljedice na savremeni svijet

Islam is the entire system of life. Through the Qur'an, the Almighty Allah gave instructions to humanity on how to live in this transitory world. As not a single segment of human life is left out of Allah's Code, so the issue of work, sustenance and trade is not left out either. It is in nature, but also in man's need, to earn and save in order to feed himself and his family. Certainly, one thing should be kept in mind, and that is how he acquires that income and wealth. There are many who reach for various illegal things, such as fraud, various speculations and engaging in easy ways of earning, which is especially visible in the modern age, and that is in terms of usury or interest, as the work itself is called. The main goal of the work is actually to point out the perniciousness and harmfulness and the bad consequences of that society or individuals who are encouraged to engage in interest business. First, that Allah, the Exalted, has strictly and categorically forbidden it, and secondly, that man brings misfortune and misery upon himself if he does the opposite of what he was ordered to do. Therefore, if we want good for ourselves, our family, society and humanity -let us leave what Almighty Allah has ordered us to leave, seek halal earnings, let us be among those who will enjoin good and forbid evil, let us be good and sincere believers because that is the only way we will deserve the Lord's mercy and forgiveness.

Penggerombolan Desa di Jawa Barat Berdasarkan Daerah Rawan Bencana

Indonesia is one of the countries that has a large potential for natural disasters. Indonesia's position at the confluence of 4 continental plates makes the potential for earthquakes even greater. The tropical climate with 2 seasons makes changes in weather, temperature and wind direction quite extreme. These climatic conditions combined with the relatively diverse surface and rock topography conditions, these conditions can cause several bad consequences for the community such as hydrometeorological disasters such as floods, landslides, forest fires, and droughts. Particularly in West Java province, natural disasters that have occurred include: landslides, droughts, cyclones/typhoons, tidal waves, fires, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and other disasters. The purpose of this study was to cluster villages in the West Java region based on the level of disaster-prone in 2018. The research was carried out using K-Prototypes clustering and testing evaluation using the silhouette coefficient. The results showed that the optimal number of clusters in this study was nine clusters. These clusters can be distinguished based on the disaster category and the characteristics of the area.

CLINICAL, EPIDEMIOLOGICAL AND LABORATORY ASPECTS OF OBESITY IN DOGS AND ITS CORRELATION WITH SYSTEMIC DISEASES

The aim of this study was to identify the clinical, epidemiologic and laboratorial aspects of dogs with obesity and its possible correlation with other diseases. A total of 30 dogs were studied. Of these, 15 were obese and 15 were not. On the Control Group, there was a total of 10 females (5 neutered and 5 whole) and 5 males (all 5 neutered). On the Obese Group, 11 females (7 neutered and 4 whole) and 4 males (all 4 neutered). The tutors received a form with 12 questions about food management and physical activity, as well as pharmacological and family history. In addition, venous blood samples were collected in animals from both the Control Group and the Obese Group for a Complete Blood Count and dosage of biochemical levels (Alanine Aminotransferase, Alkaline Phosphatase, Albumin, Total Proteins, Urea, Creatinine). Measurements from the abdominal perimeter were taken and using the data the body fat percentage was calculated; an Electrocardiographic evaluation (ECG) was also made, along with the measurement of the systolic, diastolic and medium blood pressure (SBP, DBP and MAP, respectively) and heart rate (HR). The numeric data was submitted under the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), followed by the Tukey’s Test (p<0,05), while the data regarding risk factors was analyzed on a descriptive manner. In both groups, mixed-breed dogs had a significant predominance, about 9 (60%) on the CG and 7 (46,66%) in the Obese Group. Concerning food management, 12 (80%) of the subjects of the Control Group were fed at will and 3 (20%) once a day; the numbers on the use of only pet food, pet food coupled with homemade food, and only homemade food were, respectively, 10 (66,6%), 4 (26,6%) and 1 (6,8%). Also, 11 (73,3%) had frequent physical activities, while the other 4 (26,7%) only occasionally. Additionally, 12 (80%) stayed at the backyard, while 3 (20%) lived in an apartment. There was not any relevant data relating to pharmacological and family history and, according to tutors’ opinions, their dogs were within the ideal weight. On the Obese Group, 8 (53,5%) were fed at will, 5 (33,3%) were fed on a strict and controlled manner, and 2 (13,3%) one time a day, while 9 (60%) of them were given both pet food and homemade food, 5 (33,3%) received only pet food and 1 (6,7%) received pet food sachets and fruit. In this group, 9 (60%) were out, 15 did not practice any type of physical activity, while 3 (20%) practiced frequently and the other 3 (20%) walked occasionally. There were 5 patients (33,3%) with a history of corticosteroid use, and 7 (46,7%) had a family history of obesity. Regarding tutors’ opinions on their pet’s weight, on whether they thought their pet was too thin, on ideal weight, overweight or obese, the data showed, respectively, 2 (13,3%), 4 (26,7%), 8 (53,3%) and 1 (6,7%). The percentage of fat on the Control Group for males and females was, respectively, 18,7 ± 2,2; 22 ± 3, while the abdominal circumference was of 63 ± 20 cm. On subjects from the Obese Group, the values were 40,4 ± 5; 45 ± 4,7 and 65 ± 16,8 cm, respectively. On laboratory exams, the Complete Blood Control did not show any inconsistencies with the normal range and the ALB and FAL were elevated on the Obese Group. The ECG did not show any notable changes. Both groups showed a slight increase in PAS (Control Group = 141 ± 27,72 mmHg; Obese Group = 142 ± 17,23 mmHg), and on the obese animals a raise in PAD (84 ± 22 mmHg) was also recorded. Obesity is a chronical disease that brings a series of bad consequences to the animal well-being, especially the appearance of systemic diseases; the main risk factor for its appearance is incorrect food management and low or nonphysical activity. The main way to prevent the disease is by the correct management of both factors.

Malaysian Internal Auditor’s Risk Judgment Performance: Examining the Impact of ISA 610 “Using the Work of the Internal Auditor”

Effective from December 2016, the Malaysian external auditor is required under the revision of the International Standard on Auditing (ISA) to give comments on Key Audit Matters (KAM) in the audit client’s financial statement which indirectly increases the relevancy of ISA 610 “Using the Work of Internal Auditor”. This study aimed to explore the impact of two main aspects under ISA 610 namely “external auditor engagement quality (EX_QUAL)” and “external auditor reliance (EX_RELY)” on internal auditor’s risk judgment performance. The survey of 274 internal auditors in the Malaysian public and private sector found that internal auditors who experienced high EX_QUAL outperform risk judgment as a result of awareness that the judgment made must be reflective of their own competency, independence, work performance and due care. Unfortunately, internal auditors who experienced high EX_RELY did not perform as expected since internal auditor’s anxieties on the bad consequences of full disclosure risk faced by the company. EX_QUAL could be one of monitoring mechanism to improve internal audit’s risk judgment. Furthermore, mitigating action, such as external auditor involvement in internal audit annual risk assessment plan could deter internal auditor bias and increase objectivity, and thus induce a positive impact of EX_RELY on internal auditor’s risk judgment performance. Keywords: risk judgment, performance, reliance, internal auditor, external auditor

Research on Effects of Herd Behavior and Customer Commitment on Customer Behavioral Intention and Post-purchase Disorder: A Case Study of Multilevel Marketing

In daily life, many decisions are influenced by the opinions of others. This behavior is mainly due to the norms under social pressure, fearing that there would be bad consequences if we do not abide by them. In previous studies, herd behavior driven by peer groups has been discussed in terms of consumer behavior, but few scholars have considered that consumers’ purchase behavior that is driven by “unfamiliar groups” research object. Thus, focusing on consumers’ purchase decisions which are influenced by unfamiliar groups in social gatherings, the relationship between herd behavior and customer commitment was explored with the factors and effects of post-purchase disorders. A questionnaire survey was carried out with 199 valid returns. The research results showed that herd behavior positively affected customer commitment and customer behavior intention in participating in multi-level marketing activities, and customer commitment also positively affected customer behavior intention. However, customer behavior intention showed no correlation with cognitive dissonance. From the perspective of customers, it is necessary to avoid participating in gatherings similar to multi-level marketing which damages customers’ rights and interests.

Purpose, method, drugs used and health risks of the Narco test

Even in print and electronic media, the murder of a girl in Mehroli, Delhi that took place in May 2022 is being covered as leading news. These days, everyone seems to be talking about the incident. Now that the accused person is in police custody, the judge has granted authorization for the police to conduct a Narco test on him in order to uncover the truth and gather evidence. There are now three contemporary methods for discovering the truth. These include the polygraph test, brain mapping and Narco test. The first two don't need any kind of medication, but the third one does, and they have to inject it into the suspect's body. In the Narco test, psychoactive medications such sodium pentothal, scopolamine, and sodium amytal are injected into the subject in order to cause them to experience hypnosis or become sleepy. Under these circumstances, it is highly assumed that the subject will only speak the truth and nothing else throughout the interrogation. Because of this, the test is also referred to as the truth serum test. Although this test is highly helpful in questioning to solve criminal cases, we cannot ignore the bad consequences of the drugs employed and the negative features of the test on both physical and mental health. The court acknowledged that it was illegal and a violation of the right to privacy. In this article, we discuss the necessity of conducting a Narcoanalysis test, as well as its requirements, the procedure to follow in order to carry it out, the potentially harmful effects of the drugs that are used, as well as the potentially harmful effects of the test itself on one's health and some popular Indian criminal cases that are related to Narco testing.

PREVALENCE AND MANAGEMENT OF URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS IN TYPE 2 DIABETIC PATIENTS

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a polygenic illness that affects many other organs. In people with type 2 diabetes, urinary tract infection is the most prevalent, the most severe, and has the worst consequences. They are also more frequently caused by microorganisms that are resistant to antibiotics. Immune system dysfunction, poor metabolic regulation, and inadequate bladder emptying owing to autonomic neuropathy may all contribute to these individuals' increased risk of urinary tract infections. The novel anti-diabetic sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors were not shown to raise the likelihood of symptomatic urinary tract infections appreciably. Urinary tract infection symptoms are comparable to those seen in people without diabetes, while some patients with diabetic neuropathy may exhibit changed clinical findings. The existence of symptoms, the severity of systemic symptoms, whether the infection is limited in the bladder or also includes the kidney, the presence of urologic abnormalities, concomitant metabolic disturbances, and renal function all influence treatment. There is no evidence that diabetic people with asymptomatic bacteriuria should be treated. Diabetes length, age, gender, method of drug administration, kind of medicines used in diabetes, poor glycemic control, obesity, unsanitary settings, sexual intercourse, and type of DM are all risk factors for UTI in diabetic patients. Antibiotic usage on a daily basis has rendered numerous harmful microorganisms resistant to their effects. In the long run, if UTI in diabetes people is not treated, it might lead to serious problems. Furthermore, the pattern of antibiotic resistance varies by geographical area. As a result, the use of susceptible antibiotics to treat UTI in diabetes patients has become critical. Medline and PubMed public database searches was carried out for papers written all over the world on UTI in diabetic patients. No predictive analytics technology was used. To evaluate the initial results and the methods of conducting the paper, the group members reviewed the data.

Developing a prototype of fire detection and automatic extinguisher mobile robot based on convolutional neural network

The object of research is a prototype of fire detection and automatic extinguisher mobile robot based on convolutional neural network. Within the recent few decades, fires are considered as one of the most serious disaster that occurs in many places around the world. The severity of fire incidents causes damages to buildings, infrastructures and properties. Resulting losses of human’s life and costs them a lot of losses. Thus, fire poses a great threat to us significantly; it is extremely dangerous for fire fighters. Fires can be resulted by materials such as rubber and chemical products. Other sources of fire are the short circuits on electrical devices and faults in power circuits. Additionally, overheating and overloading problems can be the cause of fire incidents. All these reasons lead to bad consequences when there is no immediate response to such problems. The advent of computer vision technology has played such a significant role for human life. Artificial intelligence field has improved the efficiency and behaviors of robotics beyond expectations. The interference of artificial intelligence made robotics act intelligently. For this reason, in this paper we presented a mobile robot based on deep learning to detect the fire source and determines its coordinate position then automatically moves toward the target and extinguish fire. Deep learning algorithms are the efficient ones for object detection applications. CNN model is one of the most common deep learning algorithms which have been used in the study for the fire detection. Due to the insufficient amount of datasets and large efforts required to build model from scratch. MobileNet V2 is one of the CNN models that support transfer learning technique. After training the model and testing it on 20 % of the used datasets the classification accuracy achieved up to 98.01 %. The motion repeatability of the robot has been implemented and tested resulting mean error 0.648 cm.

Parental Support during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Friend or Foe? A Moderation Analysis of the Association between Maternal Anxiety and Children's Stress in Italian Dyads.

There is evidence that parental psychological disorders in stressful situations increase the risk of disturbance in child development. This has been investigated in disasters but not in pandemics, which are sensibly different from other types of traumatic events. We investigated the relationship between mothers' anxiety and their children's (self-reported) stress and the boundary conditions of this association during the first full COVID-19 lockdown in Italy. During the COVID-19 pandemic, mothers might have increased their protective attitudes to secure and support their children; we tested whether the relationship between mothers' anxiety and children's stress was weaker (buffer effect) or stronger (over-protection effect) when perceived parental support was high. We measured mothers' anxiety, children's perceived parental support, and children's stress in a sample of 414 8- to 11-year-old primary school children (229 females, Mage = 9.44) and 395 mothers (Mage = 42.84). Results supported the over-protection scenario and provided the first evidence for the "helicopter-parent effect" during the COVID-19 pandemic: mothers' anxiety was positively associated with children's stress only when perceived support was high. Our finding highlights the importance of educating parents (for example, via emotional training) to prevent the worst consequences of adverse events in children and promote their mental health.
