A Study on Attitude and Problems Faced by Teachers During Teaching in Corona Situation

The present study aimed to study the attitude and problems faced by teachers during teaching in corona situation. For collection the data survey method has been used. A total of 100 secondary level school teachers from Jaipur district have been selected as a sample of the study. Result showed that Majority of the teachers were agreeing with the statement that online teaching is the only way to teach students during this pandemic. The pandemic COVID-19 has shut the door of schools worldwide leaving no choice behind. Thus, each one fined online teaching easily accessible. It was found that online teaching is not an easy way to teach. There are so many technical (signal problem, availability of smart phone, electricity problem, knowledge of handling the apps as well as devices etc.) and psychological issues (non- interaction with all students, remedial teaching is not possible, speed of content delivery, lack of concentration etc.) faced by teachers and students as well.

Depression Identification Using Machine Learning Classifiers

Depression is a mental condition that indicates emotional issues, including anger issues, unhappiness, boredom, appetite loss, lack of concentration, anxiety, etc. The quality of life of an individual may be negatively impacted by depression, which may ultimately lead to loss of health and life. According to the World Health Organization, there are 300 million depressed persons worldwide in 2022. The number of depression cases rose throughout the pandemic. It became important to detect depression in people accurately. During the construction of the model various machine learning techniques were applied. Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest, Naive Bayes, K Nearest Neighbour (KNN), and Logistic Regression were used to test the accuracy of the model. Among all techniques, Logistic Regression had the highest accuracy. The proposed technique improved the accuracy of 0.79 in comparison with the other existing state of art. Physical health and mental health, both are equally important. Early detection of depression is necessary so that it can be treated in its early stage.

Optimization of Dataset Generation for a Multilinear Regressive Road Traffic Noise Model

According to the European Environmental Agency, road traffic noise is one of the worst and most prevalent kinds of environmental pollutants, which causes health problems to a constantly increasing number of people in urban areas throughout Europe. It has been proved that prolonged exposure to sound levels exceeding 55 dBA is harmful and causes severe problems like sleep disturbances, tiredness, lack of concentration, high blood pressure and, in the worst case, sudden death. A precise and constant evaluation of sound level in inhabited areas is therefore desired (and in some cases compelled by laws), but collection of actual noise data is not easy and sometimes not possible. For this reason, Road Traffic Noise (RTN) models are very handy: one can (more or less precisely) estimate the noise emitted in a certain area having certain road traffic characteristics. The application of RTN models, anyway, also has problems. First of all, an RTN model has to be built and calibrated by using real collected noise data. Moreover, when trying to apply an RTN model on road traffic situations that are far away from the site of collection, the models generally fail. To overcome such problems, in this contribution, a road traffic dataset has been computed by randomly generating values of traffic variables like the number of vehicles per unit of time, their velocities, and their distance from the receiver. Then, by applying a multiregressive function on the dataset, the obtained coefficients have been used to calibrate and validate the presented model. The three steps (generation of the dataset, calibration of the model, and validation on a real dataset) are detailly investigated.

The effect of Bhumyamalaki Churna and Kusha Mula Churna in the management of Asrigdara w.s.r. to Menorrhagia

Background: Now a days in fast developing globalized era, the percentage of working women are more. Due to the busy schedule, she is unable to follow Paricharyas as mentioned in Samhitha, such as Rajaswala Paricharya, Sutika Paricharya. Due to which women are prone for menstrual disorders. One fifth of the women have the problem with heavy menstrual blood loss at some period of their reproductive life. One among them is Menorrhagia. Prolonged bleeding causes psychological upset like discomfort during work, lack of concentration, mental disturbance etc. Menorrhagia is defined as cyclic bleeding at normal interval; the bleeding is either excessive in amount (>80ml) or duration (>7days) or both. Menorrhagia is largely responsible for iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia, both of which have negative effect on women health. Acharyas explained both Shamana Chikitsa and Shodhana Chikitsa for Asrugdara. Among Shamana Chikitsa Bhumyamalaki Churna and Kusha Mula Churna are mentioned by Bhaishajya Ratnavali and Chakradatta respectively. Bhumyamalaki and Kusha Mula have Kashaya and Madhura Rasa, Shita Virya and Madhura Vipaka, does Pitta Shamana and Stambhana Karma. Both the drugs are easily available hence are opted for the study. Materials and methods: The present study was Randomised clinical study where 30 subjects diagnosed with Asrugdara was taken in 2 groups with 15 subjects in each group. Conclusion: Bhumyamalaki Churna is found to be more effective in managing the Asrugdara w.s.r. Menorrhagia.

Inspection of Cotton Woven Fabrics Produced by Ethiopian Textile Factories Through a Real-Time Vision-Based System

ABSTRACT Fabric is produced by the weaving process through the interlacement of warp and weft yarn or knitting process through the loop formation of yarn. During these processes, there is a possibility of fabric defect formation which hinders the acceptability by the fabric consumers. Ethiopian textile factories practiced a human inspection system, a traditional means of detecting fabric quality, for monitoring textile fabric defects. Manual fabric defect detection helps to instantly correct small defects, but it is time-consuming and results in human error due to fatigue and lack of concentration. Moreover, the accuracy of recognizing the defect highly depends on the mental status of the person that checks the defects. This initiated the development of a better fabric defect identification system that helps textile experts to detect fabric defects with better precision and speed. This study proposes a vision-based fabric inspection system for plain woven gray fabrics with a uniform texture. Accordingly, a comprehensive Fabric Defect Detection Database (FDDD) is constructed. The fabric significant features were calculated using a convolutional neural network (CNN) which is a state-of-the-art technology in image processing and task analysis. The experimental result of this study shows an average accuracy of about 89% in fabric defect recognition.

Factor analysis of quality of life among menopausal women attending primary health centers of Jazan city, KSA.

Although it looks reasonable to say menopausal women experience significant changes in quality of life, however the period is filled with anxiety and distress. Women can experience an array of symptoms including hot flushes, night sweats, sleep and mood disorders, impaired memory, lack of concentration, nervousness, depression, insomnia, bone and joint complaints Objectives:1. To assess Quality of life in menopausal women attending primary health care centers of Jazan, KSA 2. To conduct factor analysis for the variables affecting quality of life of menopausal women Methodology: A cross-sectional study conducted in primary health centers located in Jazan city. All menopausal women between age of 40-79 years were considered. A predesigned questionnaire drawn from World Health Organization Quality Of Life BREF (WHO QOL BREF) utilized Results: Mean age was 50.02+4.5 (Age + SD) Physical changes domain mean was 1.42+1.46 (mean + SD), greater than other domains and the participants were experiencing physical changes affecting quality of life more than any domain Sexual changes domain mean + SD was 1.21+1.99 and the participants were extremely bothered with symptoms of this domain. Conclusions: Significant shift in health care services is required for improving QOL of menopausal women which continue to be overlooked.

Demonstration of Snow Removal Work by Wheel Loader in an Environment Surrounded by Obstacles

Snow removal work using construction equipment faces problems such as a shortage of skilled operators owing to the declining birthrate and aging population, work in dangerous areas, and accidents caused by a lack of concentration during long work hours. To improve the working environment, research and development of automation of construction equipment are actively conducted. Therefore, in this study, we aim to generate a driving path for wheel loaders for snow removal work in a work environment surrounded by obstacles, such as walls and fences. Furthermore, the proposed method considers the changing shape of the snow piles during the removal. We experimentally verified that snow removal could be performed using an actual wheel loader on the route generated by the proposed simulation.

Body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness of overweight COVID-19 survivors in different severity degrees: a cohort study

COVID-19 sequelae are varied, and whether they are temporary or permanent is still unknown. Identifying these sequelae may guide therapeutic strategies to improve these individuals' recovery. This prospective cohort aimed to assess body composition, cardiopulmonary fitness, and long-term symptoms of overweight individuals affected by COVID-19. Participants (n = 90) were divided into three groups according to the severity of acute COVID-19: mild (no hospitalization), moderate (hospitalization, without oxygen support), and severe/critical cases (hospitalized in Intensive Care Unit). We assessed body composition with a tetrapolar multifrequency bioimpedance, hemodynamic variables (heart rate, blood pressure, and peripheral oxygen saturation-SpO2) at rest, and the Bruce test with direct gas exchange. Two assessments with a one-year interval were performed. The most prevalent long-term symptoms were memory deficit (66.7%), lack of concentration (51.7%), fatigue (65.6%), and dyspnea (40%). Bruce test presented a time effect with an increase in the distance walked after 1 year just for severe/critical group (p < 0.05). SpO2 was significantly lower in the severe/critical group up to 5 min after the Bruce test when compared to the mild group, and diastolic blood pressure at the end of the Bruce test was significantly higher in the severe/critical group when compared to mild group (p < 0.05; for all comparisons). A time effect was observed for body composition, with increased lean mass, skeletal muscle mass, fat-free mass, and lean mass just for the severe/critical group after 1 year (p < 0.05). Cardiopulmonary fitness parameters did not differ among the groups, except for respiratory quotient with higher values for the severe/critical group when compared to itself after 1 year. All COVID-19 patients might present long-term sequelae, regardless of the acute disease severity. Reassessing and identifying the most prevalent long-term sequelae are essential to perform more precise health promotion interventions.

Neurological Manifestations of Connective Tissue Disorders.

Connective tissue disorders (CTD) are a group of disorders affecting the connective tissues. Usually the musculoskeletal and the vascular system is impacted. Along with these systems, the nervous system is also involved in CTD, which leads to various neurological manifestations. The pathophysiology of neurological complications of CTD is caused by various factors and is complicated. Disturbed immune complexes, chronic inflammation, and autoimmunity in which the body attacks its cells are considered to be responsible for the neurological complications of CTD. Additionally, the vascular symptoms that lead to decreased blood flow to the brain are also responsible for the neurological manifestations of CTD in diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In SLE, vessel wall integrity is compromised, which may lead to decreased blood flow leading to neurological complications. CTD can manifest a variety of neurological complications. These neurological complications can be classified into symptoms affecting the peripheral nervous system, central nervous system, and the autonomic nervous system. Some of the common neurological complications of CTD are headaches, seizures, ataxia, neuropathies leading to cranial nerve palsies, myelopathies, tremors, encephalitis, and cerebral infarction. Cranial nerve palsies can disturb sensations, vision, hearing, and mastication. Neuropsychiatric symptoms are also commonly observed in CTD. Cognitive dysfunction can be caused due to neuropsychiatric problems. Some of the cognitive dysfunctions are lack of concentration, memory loss, confusion, and coma. In this review, we will address various neurological manifestations of CTD.

대학생의 비판적 사고 향상 미디어 리터러시 교육에 관한 질적 메타분석

Objectives This study focused on critical thinking on the effects of media literacy education in universities and sought to find out the implications of this.&#x0D; Methods A qualitative meta-analysis method was used based on studies on subjects related to media literacy opened in universities. Therefore, the future direction of education was considered through the positive effects and complementary points of the educational method for improving critical thinking, focusing on the cases of 6 qualitative research subjects finally selected according to the 7th stage of the analysis procedure.&#x0D; Results While the sharing of various opinions under the guidance of the instructor was very helpful in cultivating a critical mind, most of the learners found it difficult to lead learning activities voluntarily due to the nature of the discussion. In addition, it was found that it was important to select the latest issues or related media in a timely manner, but the lack of concentration in class was revealed as a problem due to unreliable data exposure and irra-tionality that could occur due to bias. Above all, considering that writing education for critical thinking has hardly been dealt with except for Part 1, it can be seen that it is urgent to prepare a plan to activate writing.&#x0D; Conclusions In this study, through a qualitative meta-analysis of media literacy education for the improvement of college students' critical thinking, positive effects and complementary points of discussion, media analysis, video platform, and critical writing were derived. The implications of this include development of convergence ed-ucational contents, design of critical thinking process, and development of evaluation tools. Even though the Ministry of Education and the field of education are currently emphasizing the importance of media literacy educa-tion, universities still lack systematic programs. In the future, it is expected that media literacy education for learn-ers will be activated in various major subjects through collaboration between universities and instructors.

Strategies of coping with anger as a state and a trait among female students

Introduction. University students often encounter many difficult situations that may provoke their anger and thus make them less capable of controlling themselves and their behaviours. This will possibly hinder their growth and psychological and academic development, leading to more personal conflict and discomfort, emotional and physical abuse, increased crime, feelings of insecurity, a lack of concentration, and less social interaction.Aim. This study aims to examine coping strategies with anger as a state and trait in light of “Social status” and “Achievement level” variables.Methodology and research methods. A quantitative method was employed to analyse the data. The sample for the study consisted of 256 female students from Al-Balqa Applied University (BAU), randomly chosen. Two scales were used to collect data: 1) the anger scale as a state and as a trait, including 30 items (15 items measure anger as an emotional state that varies in its intensity, and 15 items measure anger as an emotional trait); 2) the anger coping strategies scale, containing 34 items divided into six domains to identify the different ways of individuals’ positive or negative responses to the irritating situations of anger (direct expressions of anger, emphasis, search for social support, dissipation of anger, avoidance, and tapering).Results. The results revealed statistically significant differences due to social status and achievement level, whereas there were no statistically significant differences in the coping strategies for anger due to social status. They also showed that seeking social support is the prevailing coping strategy.Scientific novelty. The study is one of the few in the Arab World that looked at the relationship between anger as a state or trait and coping strategies in a sample of female students based on their social status and level of achievement. It helps enrich the theoretical literature on anger and researchers’ and students’ knowledge by clarifying the relationship of the discussed variables with each other.Practical significance. The practical significance of the study can be observed in two aspects. First, the research findings can draw the attention of educational officials by highlighting the relationships between anger as a state and anger as a trait, as well as the coping strategies employed by female students. This knowledge can lead to developing programmes to reduce anger among female students. Second, the study can contribute to developing coping methods that positively impact the social and academic adaptation of female students.

FRI340 Growth Hormone Deficiency Post Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Abstract Disclosure: A.Y. Ghamlouche: None. O. Alzohaili: None. A.H. Elkadry: None. Carbon monoxide (CO) is the poisonous byproduct of combustion of fossil fuels, that is odorless and tasteless. In toxic levels CO leads to the impaired functioning of red blood cell’s ability to transport oxygen to tissues.1 Following CO toxicity, white matter demyelination and necrosis of the Globus pallidus that further results in other neurologic disorders, is common.2 A novel and underrecognized consequence of CO poisoning is growth hormone deficiency (GHD). GHD is the most common pituitary hormone deficiency following a traumatic brain injury.3 Four cases of GHD were described following an event of CO poisoning. Recommended GHD diagnosis criteria of less than 5.0 ng/mL was used with these patients. The Insulin Tolerance Test (ITT) and Glucagon stimulation test (GST) were administered. All patients had no causes of GHD in their medical history prior to their encounters with CO poisoning. A 44-year-old male with exposure in 2020, came for an evaluation in January of 2022 complaining of memory impairment, brain fog, mental fatigue, cognitive decline, anxiety, poor libido, and neuropathy. showed a GH peak of 1.1 ng/mL during the ITT a peak of 1.0 ng/mL during the GST. A 51-year-old male with exposure in 2016, came for an evaluation in December of 2020 complaining of memory impairment, blurry vision, fatigue, physical weakness, mood changes, and stuttered speech. Results showed a GH peak of 4.4 ng/mL during ITT and a GH peak of 0.157 ng/mL during the GST.A 43-year-old female with exposure in 2017, came for an evaluation in January of 2022 complaining of memory loss, attention issues, anxiety, depression, fatigue, weight gain and neuropathy. Results showed a GH peak of 1.7 ng/mL during ITT and a GH peak of 2.6 ng/mL during the GST. A 42-year-old male with exposure in 2018, came for an evaluation in November of 2019 complaining of memory impairment, headaches, tremors, fatigue, anxiety, depression, declining cognition, insomnia, poor libido, lack of concentration, and poor vision. Results showed a GH peak of 3.6 ng/mL during ITT and a GH peak of 0.109 ng/mL during the GST. All 4 patients were started on GH replacement therapy following their tests. All patients responded well, and showed significant improvements in quality of life. A possible connection can be drawn between pituitary gland damage and hypoxia from CO poisoning.

Enhancing learning effect for students with bipolar depression through the interactive English translation teaching model

BackgroundBipolar depression students may face various challenges during the learning process, such as emotional fluctuations and lack of concentration. Traditional teaching models may not achieve ideal results in response to the special needs of such students. Given this, the study aims to explore whether the interactive English translation teaching model can bring better learning experiences and effects to students with bipolar depression. Through an in-depth analysis of the characteristics of this teaching model, combined with the characteristics of students with bipolar depression, the study aims to provide educators with new strategies and methods.Subjects and MethodsThe study selected 120 students with bipolar depression as the research subjects and randomly divided them into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group students were taught using interactive English translation teaching mode, while the control group students were taught using traditional teaching mode. The study used the Bipolar Depression Rating Scale (BDRS) to evaluate the intervention of students with bipolar depression.ResultsBefore the experiment, there was no significant difference in bipolar depression scores between the two groups of students (P&gt;0.05); After the experiment, the bipolar depression symptoms of the experimental group students were significantly improved and significantly lower than those of the control group students (P&lt;0.05).ConclusionsThe interactive English translation teaching model shows promise in alleviating symptoms of bipolar depression among students. Furthermore, this model positively impacts both their learning experience and mental well-being.AcknowledgementResearch Project on Teaching Reform of Chongqing Vocational Education, No. GZ223267.

Optimizing the teaching system of geotechnical engineering majors on students’ psychological anxiety

BackgroundExcessive anxiety among students may lead to both psychological and physical symptoms, including significant emotional fluctuations, lack of concentration in memory, withdrawn personality, social difficulties, decreased sleep quality, decreased appetite, wild thoughts, numbness in limbs, restlessness in sitting and standing, etc.Subjects and MethodsTo study the impact of optimizing the teaching system of geotechnical engineering majors in vocational colleges on students’ psychological anxiety from the perspective of educational psychology, an experiment was conducted on 50 students majoring in geotechnical engineering with psychological anxiety. The students were randomly divided into two groups, with 25 in the control group and 25 in the experimental group. The control group students received routine psychological counseling treatment, while the experimental group students received education system optimization treatment on this basis, with a treatment period of 3 months. Before and after treatment, the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) was used for testing.ResultsThere was no significant difference in the SAS scores before treatment between the control group and the experimental group, indicating homogeneity between the two groups of students. After treatment, the SAS scores of the control group students decreased by 11 points, while the SAS scores of the experimental group students decreased by 20 points, significantly higher than the control group.ConclusionsThe anxiety relief effect of students with psychological anxiety varies under different treatment methods, while the effect of conventional treatment is relatively average. From the perspective of educational psychology, optimizing the teaching system of geotechnical engineering in vocational colleges can further reduce the psychological anxiety of students in this major.

This study aims to examine the relationship between academic stress and academic performance among undergraduate students enroll in public and private universities in Lahore. The study was quantitative research using a survey method. The Instrument of data collection was questionnaires while a stratified random sampling technique wasselected forthe study. Gather data was derived from the subset of 152 participants of undergraduate students from public and private universities in Lahore, with an equal participant of 76 students from both sectors and an equal distribution of 38 males and 38 females. Data were gathered from students in their fourth semester within the education department. The study was analyzing the data using descriptive statistical tools and SPSS software was used. This study results indicated that there was no significant correlation between academic stress and academic performance within the studied sample of 152 individuals. While a very weak negative correlation was observed. The independent samples t-test was used in Second hypothesis and reveal that there is not a meaningful distinction in academic stress levels among male and female undergraduate students. Additionally, this research was identifying the sources that ranging from a minimum of 63.00, representing 'Lack of concentration during studyhours,' to a maximum of 181.00, indicating 'Fear of failure' as the most stress-inducing factor. This study recommended that academic institutions focus on providing support and resources forall students, regardless of gender, to dealing with stress and managing it effectively

Sociodemographic and Clinical Profile of Long COVID-19 Patients, and Its Correlation with Medical Leave: A Comprehensive Descriptive and Multicenter Study.

The persistent condition of COVID-19 is characterized by a wide range of symptoms that have had a significant impact on both the health status and occupational life of the population. In this observational and multicenter study, the relationship between the sociodemographic and clinical profile of Spanish patients diagnosed with long COVID, and the work-related disability resulting from this pathology was analyzed. The analysis included 689 responses. A descriptive analysis of the variables recorded was performed, together with a bivariate analysis to determine associations between work-related disability and variables such as gender, age, health status, disabling symptoms or comorbidities. The results obtained highlight fatigue and lack of concentration (brain fog) as the most incapacitating symptoms among patients diagnosed with long COVID. Multivariate analysis revealed that time since diagnosis (OR: 0.57, CI95%: 0.36-0.89, p: 0.013), concomitant renal insufficiency (OR: 4.04, CI95%: 1.42-11.4, p: 0.008), and symptoms like fatigue (OR: 0.56, CI95%: 0.33-0.99) and tremors (OR: 2.0, CI95%: 1.06-3.69, p: 0.029), were associated with work-related disability. These findings highlight the need to improve the health and work-related management of this condition in the healthcare system. Besides risk factor control, it is suggested to pay special attention to determining the appropriate timing of medical leave work reintegration, along with coordination between primary care and occupational health services to ensure the gradual and tailored return of patients with long COVID to the workforce.

Effect of Probiotic Therapy on Neuropsychiatric Manifestations in Children with Multiple Neurotransmitter Disorders: A Study.

Probiotics, also known as psychobiotics, have been linked to cognitive functions, memory, learning, and behavior, in addition to their positive effects on the digestive tract. The purpose of this study is to examine the psychoemotional effects and cognitive functioning in children with gastrointestinal disorders who undergo psychobiotherapy. A total of 135 participants, aged 5-18 years, were divided into three groups based on the pediatrician's diagnosis: Group I (Control) consisted of 37 patients (27.4%), Group II included 65 patients (48.1%) with psychoanxiety disorders, and Group III comprised 33 individuals (24.4%) with psychiatric disorders. The study monitored neurotransmitter levels such as serotonin, GABA, glutamate, cortisol, and DHEA, as well as neuropsychiatric symptoms including headaches, fatigue, mood swings, hyperactivity, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, and lack of concentration in patients who had gastrointestinal issues such as constipation, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal problems. The results indicate that psychobiotics have a significant impact on reducing hyperactivity and aggression, and improving concentration. While further extensive studies are needed, these findings offer promising insights into the complexity of a child's neuropsychic behavior and the potential for balancing certain behaviors through psychobiotics.

THE PREVALENCE OF IDENTITY CRISIS AMONG YOUTHS AND SOCIAL WORKER INTERVENTION IN IKENNE LGA OF OGUN STATE

Identity crisis has become a global concern in recent years. Several authors have researched around the subject in the field of psychology, social works and public health. Currently, several studies are being conducted to discover new methods to handle the issue of identity crisis especially among youths in secondary schools. As a result, this paper appraises prevalence of identity crisis among youths in Ikenne Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria. The paper adopted correlational survey design to appraise the pattern of relationship between self-efficacy, parental supports, peer influence, internet usage and sense of identity among youths. The paper studied two hundred and sixty youths (121 Males and 139 Females) between 15-25 years (x = 13.05 and SD = 14.2) were drawn from youths in Ikenne LGA using simple random sampling technique in four stages. Results showed that youth sense of identity has negative relationship with self-efficacy (r = -.441 and p&lt;.05) and positive relationship with peer influence (r = .253 and p&lt;.05). The was no significant relationship with parental supports and internet usage on identity crisis. Multiple regression analysis showed that independent variables contributed 21% of the variance in youth’s identity crisis. Self-efficacy was most potent (? = -409; t (258) = .6963; p&lt;0.05) contributing in predicting identity crisis. The paper concluded that identity crisis is mostly prevalent among the youths in Ikenne due to parental neglect as a result of busy schedule at work. Also, social workers are suitable intermediaries between youths who have lost their identity and their self-discovery. The paper recommends that secondary school administration in Ikenne LGA should make efforts toward educating their students in aspect managing frustration and lack of concentration which are identified behaviours that affect the youths. Social workers should educate parents and caregivers on the causes and effects of identity crisis in other to help reduce the rate of occurrence among the youths.

Sosialisasi Pencegahan Fatigue Kepada Masyarakat Nelayan Desa Bajomulyo, Juwana, Pati

Fatigue is identified as an occupational health problem in developing countries and is a serious threat to human quality of life if fatigue becomes chronic and excessive. The problems faced by the juvenile fishing community are the risk of accidents and health problems and making the wrong decision in operating a boat can have serious consequences and even loss of life. The purpose of this activity is to provide socialization to the fishermen community regarding the introduction of fatique, causes of fatigue, prevention to avoid fatigue, and what to do during fatigue. The method used is lecture, discussion and question and answer. The implementation of community service is carried out in several stages including the preparation stage, field survey, implementation, and evaluation. The results obtained are the causes of fatigue in sailors, among others due to hard work, malnutrition, staying up late, drugs and alcohol. Fatigue is a condition of the body both physically and psychologically which causes fatigue and lack of concentration so that it is dangerous when working. Conclusions in preventing fatigue can be done by adhering to a rest schedule, adequate nutrition, proper clothing, sufficient drinking, danger alarms.

Noise Perception and Health Effects on Population: A Cross-Sectional Study on COVID-19 Lockdown by Noise Sources for Spanish Dwellings

An online questionnaire on the subjective response to noise was created to collect national experiences from households during the first COVID-19 wave (from 14 March to 21 June). In this study, different noise sources (general noise, but also noise from neighbors, common areas, facilities, premises, and traffic) and self-declared health effects (stress, lack of concentration, sleep disturbance, anxiety, irritability, or their absence) reported from 582 participants were analyzed (before and during quarantine). A descriptive and statistical analysis between variables was established to observe relational trends for the two periods. The results associated stress and sleep disturbance with most of the noise sources before the pandemic. Sleep disturbance was not significant in confinement, maybe due to habit changes and staying home. Uncertainty linked to the pandemic could explain why stress showed significance during quarantine. Irritability showed an inverse relation with noise sources since their values were greater for declared noise sources and more annoying before the pandemic in all cases. Finally, anxiety showed an association with fewer noise sources, maybe also conditioned by other factors. However, the extreme situation and the uncertainty generated, the presence of cohabitants at home, and building factors (such as acoustic insulation) conditioned the households’ experience.
