Hoje, o cenário educativo é transformado pela presença de estratégias pedagógicas contemporâneas, adaptadas às necessidades de uma sociedade que se transforma sem cessar. As estratégias de destaque incluem a aprendizagem baseada na colaboração e a abordagem Maker, ambas essenciais para impulsionar a inovação educacional. A aprendizagem colaborativa é fundamentada na noção de que o conhecimento é construído coletivamente, com estudantes unindo esforços para descobrir e resolver desafios, facilitando assim a partilha de conhecimentos e o aprimoramento de competências sociais. Por outro lado, a abordagem Maker incentiva os alunos a se engajarem como produtores ativos. Este estudo visa investigar como a aprendizagem colaborativa e a cultura Maker influenciam a renovação dos processos educativos, analisando o modo como essas práticas revolucionam o ensino. Tem como objetivos específicos avaliar como as práticas educativas ativas reformulam o ensino e a aprendizagem, redefinindo o papel dos educadores como orientadores e dos estudantes como participantes proativos em sua jornada de aprendizagem; examinar de que maneira o movimento Maker revitaliza a educação ao colocar os alunos no centro do processo de aprendizagem; e investigar o impacto da implementação da cultura Maker nas escolas para a transformação educacional. O intuito é fornecer uma análise abrangente sobre o impacto dessas abordagens no ambiente de ensino, sublinhando a relevância de táticas inovadoras que preparam tanto educadores quanto alunos para superar os obstáculos de um mundo em constante evolução. Por meio de estudos quantitativos e de revisão literária, este trabalho busca contribuir de maneira significativa para o refinamento das metodologias de ensino atuais.
A ESTRUTURAÇÃO ESTÉTICA DA EXPERIÊNCIA HERMENÊUTICA
Authors: Machado Bianca Rocha
Published: March 2024

O presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar uma investigação acerca do papel exercido pela hermenêutica filosófica na crítica de Martin Heidegger e Hans-Georg Gadamer ao que os autores consideram como um predomínio da racionalidade técnico-científica inerente ao pensamento filosófico na modernidade. Buscamos ressaltar, neste ínterim, que elementos os autores mencionados apresentam de modo a justificar um suposto caráter central conferido à arte – e diferentes formas de expressividade artística – nesta crítica. Martin Heidegger aponta, em sua análise, a obra de arte como apta a oferecer um âmbito privilegiado de acesso à verdade, ao mesmo tempo em que coloca-se em oposição às tradicionais concepções da estética filosófica tradicional, que remonta à Baumgarten; sua peculiar visão acerca da obra de arte radicaliza-se, em suas obras de maturidade, sob o conceito de Ereignis e a consideração da linguagem como elemento estruturador de toda experiência de mundo e a obra de arte uma forma ímpar e privilegiada de acontecimento linguístico. Hans-Georg Gadamer, enriquecendo a crítica heideggeriana ao se contrapor à noção tradicional de consciência estética, toma a concepção hermenêutica de “experiência estética” com vistas a revelar as nuances do horizonte interpretativo originário da busca pela verdade. Ao defender que qualquer tentativa de compreensão de mundo – incluindo a lógica, a matemática, o método das ciências da natureza ou mesmo a técnica – tem sua origem em uma experiência de abertura que é fundamentalmente hermenêutica, a experiência com a obra de arte seria paradigmática, dado que evidenciaria, na sua resistência intrínseca ao esgotamento, o caráter interpretativo, multifacetado, infinito e dinâmico de todo processo compreensivo.

Fault Surface Rupture Modeling Using Particle Image Velocimetry Analysis of Analog Sandbox Model
Authors: Furqan Terry Alfa , Sapiie Benyamin , Natawidjaja Danny Hilman , Widodo Lilik Eko , Rudyawan Alfend , Hadiana Meli
Published: March 2024

This study investigated the correlation between fault kinematics, surficial displacement, and surface rupture geometry patterns between earthquake cycles using particle image velocimetry (PIV) analysis of an analogue sandbox modeling that mimics InSAR observations. The research explored various fault systems, including reverse, normal, and strike-slip faults, through controlled sandbox experiments. The fault surface rupture zone manifests itself due to strain accumulation between two mobile blocks. The displacement magnitude is most pronounced on the surface and is absorbed by the section above the hanging wall or moving block. During fault surface rupture formation, the leading edge of the surface movement consistently extends beyond the anticipated fault surface rupture zone and retreats upon full fault surface rupture development. Subsequently, the distribution of the surface movement is sharply confined by the established fault surface rupture. The key findings of this study underscore the potential of PIV of sandbox modeling for studying fault surface rupture geometry and its development, providing insight into seismic processes. Overall, this work contributes to advancing our knowledge of seismic phenomena and improving strategies for earthquake prediction and mitigation.

The present article features the preliminary data obtained following the analyzes related to the use of hard animal materials to obtain objects by the prehistoric communities of Parţa. This analysis is part of the extended archaeozoological research carried out for the osteological fragments obtained from the numerous campaigns of archaeological research carried out by Gheorghe Lazarovici within the Neo‑Eneolithic settlement from Parţa. Starting from the description of the types, sources and methods of selection of the hard animal material, the paper presents the results of the analyzes obtained for the 50 objects made of animal bone, found so far in the archaeozoological research of the Parţa settlement. Although it is a small number of objects, the sample is diversified, the pieces can be classified into several groups: tools, objects of daily use (spoons), objects of clothing and personal ornament (pendants, clothing items etc.), as well as scraps debit.
Cu privire la „Iarcul” de la Cicir – comuna Vladimirescu, judetul Arad
Authors: Padurean Eugen D.
Published: March 2024

The author brings into discussion an aspect of an anthropic intervention on the relief resulting a relief of excavation. Namely, he presents a large canal of 1,622 m length, 23 m width, and 2 – 3.5 m depth today. It began from the south‑eastern part of the village of Cicir, from the village common near by the Mureş River, from the place named „Movila lui Nicoli” [Nicoli’s Hillock]; after a rectilineal way, it went to north‑east falling down in the curvature of an old branch of the Mureş River. That one came from the western area of the localities of Păuliş and Ghioroc, toward the west, with a loop at the north‑west of Cicir to stream away to the main river by the east part of the village pf Sâmbăteni. On the basis of actual data and reasons the author tries to give an answer to some quesions concerning the period it was digged, the aim it was digged for, and the people who ordered such a large work known as „Iarc” in the local speech (a word of a Slavic origin = ditch). He excludes the ditch setting during the Hapsburgs’ period of the Mureş River regularizing (the first half of the 19th century). Some opinions on the aim are emitted. The first one should be related to a process of drainig of swampy terrains given the presence of a minor branch of the Mureş, probably during the Middle Age. Another explanation is related to the possibility that the canal should have been set for navigation of small ships, from the loop directly to the Mureş without caming back. It seems that there were some points‑of‑sale for goods transported by rafts (?), namely some stone‑worked landing places. Another function may be related to the distructive effect on the Mureş bank, the canal setting having directed the flow to another area – namely the minor branch at the north‑eastern part of Cicir. Less probably but not excluded, the canal could have been one for the floating mills if taking into consideration that the wheal of such a mill was the seal of the village of Cicir (1837). The archaeological repertory of the village might favorably puts in light the problems that objective raises.
Piese de armament descoperite in orasul Caransebes (secolele XVI-XVII/XVIII). Consideratii preliminare
Authors: Oţa Silviu
Published: March 2024

Systematic archaeological research in the medieval city of Caransebeş, started in 2017, led to several important discoveries. They come to complement the documentary sources or to confirm some realities mentioned by them. In addition to some problems related to the urban transformations of the 17th–18th centuries, but also to the presence of iron processing workshops, some fragments of weap‑ ons were also discovered (fragments of grenades, fragment of a battle hammer, cannonball, musket ball). Unfortunately, most of them are destroyed, but they come to show what weap‑ ons were used here on various occasions. If some of the weapons were destroyed as a result of the battles or the destruction of the fortress, others were very likely personal items of the city’s inhabitants (arrowheads), being discovered in the houses or near them as a result of the demolition. Documents from that time come to confirm what types of weapons were used in the fortifications of the Banate, and archaeological research has partially confirmed this information.
Familia Bakocz (Bacut) de Caransebes in secolele XV–XVI
Authors: Ţigău Dragoş Lucian
Published: March 2024

The family of Bakocz/ Băcuţ originated in Haţeg region and were attested in the Montainous Banat around 1500. In the beginning, that family was a branch of a very large lineage living at Clopotiva, a village in Hunedoara County. A genealogy written in 1591 from practical reasons describes the ancientness of that family from Transylvania and the division of them into two distinct branches: Pogan (staying in Transylvania), and Bakocz (settling in the Banat). The 1591 genealogy lets us know all of the family’s members, their realtionship and matrimonial alliances with other famous families both in Transylvania (Barcsai of Bârcea Mare) and the Banat (Bethlen of Ictar, Fiat of Armenis, and Simon of Caransebes). The papers reveal the existence of many female and of few male descendants. Such a disproportionate ratio generated the extinction of the family by 1600. The family had an evident Romanian feature, from their origin in Haţeg area and kept it in the Banat environment. Some of the members got Catholic Christian names (Apollina, Francisc, Gaspar, Ladislau), but persistence of the Romanian onomastics is very suggestive: Iancu (Ioan, in papers), Mara/ Marina (Margareta, officially). The family’s real was relatively modest, consisting in dispersed shares of villages and lots in the districts of Caransebes and Mehadia. The matrimonial alliance with the powerful family of Fiat of Armenis was a real gain for them. But their owning was ever vulnerable as based on the women inheriting, strongly contested at the time. In the neighbor county, Hunedoara, the competing is also carried out between the males from the branch of Pogan and the ladies of the one of Bakocz about to die out.

Introduction: Alopecia areata in childhood is an autoimmune condition that causes hair loss in specific areas. Although it is not physically harmful, it can affect children's self-esteem. Treatment involves topical approaches, such as corticosteroids, with a variable prognosis. Objective: The aim of this article is to briefly and clearly explain the clinical manifestations and therapeutic approach to alopecia areata in children. Materials and Methods: A synthesis of scientific articles and medical literature related to pediatric alopecia was carried out in the PubMed and SciELO databases, using the keywords: Pediatric Alopecia; Clinical Manifestations; Diagnosis and Management and 1390 articles were found. After adding the filter: "since 2019", 641 articles were located. After selecting based on relevant titles, methodology, objectives and results, a compilation of 4 articles was obtained for analysis. Information was collected on the clinical manifestations of this condition, diagnostic and treatment options, as well as approaches to managing alopecia in children. Results: Childhood alopecia can present in various forms, with alopecia areata being the most common, characterized by hair loss in specific areas of the scalp. Symptomatic manifestation is most common in the first decade of life. Diagnosis is clinical, with a medical history and tests if necessary. The regulation of immune cells plays an important role in alopecia areata and its dysfunction can lead to the interruption of the hair growth cycle. In addition, alopecia areata can be associated with other autoimmune diseases and its management may require multidisciplinary approaches. Treatment depends on the cause and extent of hair loss and can include laser therapy, corticosteroids, immunotherapy, hair transplantation, among others. Emotional support for the child and family is also important to deal with the emotional and social impact of alopecia. Conclusion: Diagnosis and proper management are essential to ensure appropriate treatment and minimize the emotional and social impact on affected children. Treatment must be individualized, taking into account the underlying cause, the child's age and other clinical factors. Psychosocial approaches are key to ensuring the emotional well-being of affected children. It is essential that health professionals specializing in dermatology or paediatrics are involved in the diagnosis and management of paediatric alopecia, with long-term follow-up to monitor the response to treatment and ensure the best possible care for affected children.

Authors: Ismail Zubeir , Kaswamila Abiud , Maro Fredy
Published: March 2024

This article explores the prospects and challenges affecting farmers practising the use of chololo pits[1] due to the semi-arid nature of Dodoma. It investigates the prospects and challenges of chololo pits technology in enhancing crop production in the semi-arid Chamwino District. Data was collected through documentary review, household interviews, focus group discussions, key informant interviews and field observation. Findings indicate that improvement of the soil water holding capacity (77.7%, n=337), economic use of fertilizers (74.4%, n=337) and increases in cereal yields (70.6%, n=337) were the major prospects for enhancing crop production. Labour intensity (43%, n=337), required skills (29%, n=337) and difficulty to maintain (13.5%, n=337) were the major challenges of chololo pits in enhancing crop production in the study area. Other minor prospects were reducing soil erosion, concentrating nutrients and protecting seeds and humus from being washed away, while shortage of fertilizer and waterlogging were the minor challenges of chololo pits. The study recommends that the government, in collaboration with NGOs and CBOs, should use more efficient tools to supplement the use of the hand-hoe (agriculture research institutions, COSTECH and SIDO should take lead on this). Also, further research should be conducted, and climate smart agriculture (CSA) and scaling up the chololo pits technology should be advocated.

UREA TREATMENT OF MATURE WHOLE-CROP CEREAL MIXTURES AS SALVAGE FORAGE FOR SMALL-SCALE DAIRY SYSTEMS IN THE DRY SEASON
Authors: Zamora-Juárez Yessica Guadalupe , Arias-Ávila Mónica , Arriaga-Jordán Carlos Manuel , Martínez-García Carlos Galdino , López González Felipe
Published: March 2024

Background: Forage from small-grain cereals is an option to diversify feeding strategies in small-scale dairy systems (SSDS), due to their short cycle and ample adaptation. Mixtures of cereal species may have synergic advantages; however, grazing or ensiling is not always possible due to climatic factors, so forage crops are left to mature and lose quality. Urea treatment of whole-crop mature cereal mixtures may be an option to salvage forage that could not be grazed or ensiled. Objective: To evaluate the performance of dairy cows fed urea-treated mature whole-crop forage mixtures of triticale (TRT), rye (RYE), and barley (BLY), in the dry season for SSDS. Methodology: Treatment mixtures were TRT+RYE, TRT-BLY, and RYE+BLY. Fully mature cereal mixture crops were treated with 4 - 6% granular urea (plus water) on a fresh basis. Forage variables were analysed with a split-plot design. Whole-crop forage yields were 3.4 ton/ha, with highest yields for RYE-BLY. Crude protein content increased two-fold in treated forages, and dry matter digestibility was moderate with a mean estimated ME content of 7.9 MJ ME/kg DM. Performance was evaluated by an on-farm 3x3 Latin square experimental design repeated 3 times with nine Holstein cows, experimental periods were 14 days, of which 10 days were for adaptation to feeding and 4 days for sampling. Cows were offered daily 9.0 kg DM of urea-treated forage; complemented with 4.4 kg DM of concentrate, day-grazing, and 1.5 kg of cut pasture. Results: There were no statistical differences (P>0.05) for any of the animal variables. Urea treatment of whole-crop mature cereal mixtures resulted in a complementary moderate quality salvage forage for the dry season. Implications: The present study is presented as an alternative when the crops are in a state of advanced maturation and it is intended to modify the nutritional quality of the forages. Conclusion: The use of urea can be an alternative to improve the nutritional quality of forages.
Ghosting Phenomenon in Interpersonal Communication of Bumble Application Users

Published: March 2024

Technological developments have made it easier for humans to build interpersonal relationships, one of which is using dating apps. One phenomenon that is often found in dating apps is the ghosting phenomenon. The ghosting phenomenon is an indirect termination of relationships that can hinder communication. However, many adult couples often fail or experience a breakup when they are at the approach stage. In general, someone experiencing the termination of a relationship or losing a partner can be a very traumatic and sad experience and can disrupt a person's mental health. This research aims to find out at what stage the ghosting phenomenon occurs in interpersonal communication on the dating app Bumble. This research uses a phenomenological research method with a qualitative approach, data collection techniques of in-depth interviews and observation. The theory used is the Social Penetration Theory which has four stages in a relationship, namely the orientation stage, affective exploratory exchange, affective exchange and stable exchange. The results of this research show that the ghosting phenomenon can occur at every stage of a relationship, during the introduction stage or when the relationship is already close to each other. This experience of ghosting behavior also creates communication barriers between people and leaves the victim feeling uncomfortable.

The concept of abuse of authority in the Government Administration law is seen by several legal experts as the same as the concept of abuse of authority because it is the absolute competence of the Administrative Court in the Corruption Eradication law. The research method used is Case Study Decision Number Case Study Decision Number 218 PK/PID.SUS/2019 and Decision Number 143 PK/PID.SUS/2019, where both decision cases involve criminal acts of corruption in the form of abuse of authority in office. Based on Law no. 31 of 1999 Jo Law no. 20 of 2021 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes. The conclusion is that the application of sanctions against criminal acts of corruption in Decision Number 218 PK/Pid.Sus/2019 and Decision Number 143PK/Pid.Sus/2019, the panel of judges imposed imprisonment/imprisonment and fines, the imposition of fines as an implementation of the balance value can be applied as long as In certain circumstances, the perpetrator of a criminal act of corruption is not a recidivist, then as a balanced punishment, apart from imposing a fine, assets can also be confiscated, this is so that the imposition of the fine can be used as a lesson or legal perspective for the wider community, rather than just being sentenced to imprisonment/ prisons are indeed less effective, because in the implementation of confinement/imprisonment sentences there are still leniencies which do not actually have a deterrent effect on perpetrators of criminal acts.

VIETNAMESE NOVICE EFL TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS OF SELF-EFFICACY
Authors: Nguyễn Hoàng Hạnh  , Nguyễn Thùy Dương
Published: March 2024

Teacher self-efficacy refers to teachers’ beliefs in their capacity to influence students and assist them to achieve desired learning outcomes. Previous studies have indicated the correlation between teacher self-efficacy and their teaching performance, attainments, and commitment to the career. Nevertheless, not much investigation has been conducted in the context of Vietnam to develop a more profound understanding of teacher self-efficacy, especially that of novice teachers with limited teaching experience and a possible lack of certainty to pursue the teaching career, hence the need for thorough inquiries. To fill the gap in the existing literature, this research study was carried out to investigate the perceptions of self-efficacy of Vietnamese novice EFL (English as a foreign language) teachers. By employing mixed methods with exploratory sequential design, involving semi-structured interviews followed by questionnaires, this study aims to offer sound grasp of the perceived sources of self-efficacy and the extent to which those sources influence novice EFL teachers in different teaching contexts in Hanoi, Vietnam. The findings revealed six primary sources of teacher self-efficacy: (1) past teaching experiences; (2) impacts from students; (3) teacher’s knowledge of content, language and pedagogy; (4) vicarious experiences; (5) feedback from stakeholders; (6) physiological and emotional states. Furthermore, the knowledge of content, language and pedagogy was the most impactful source, followed by other sources namely students’ behaviors, academic progress and teacher-student rapport.

To enroll in international undergraduate programs, students must achieve an IELTS score of at least 5.5. However, students still encounter many difficulties in the English-speaking academic environment due to the differences between highschool and university systems. This study employed Macalister and Nation's (2012) theoretical framework for developing an academic study skills course for students of transnational programs of Hanoi University. The course developers examined the academic environment (situation analysis) and the academic requirements of the EMI program (needs analysis). The findings revealed that to develop a comprehensive and practical study skills course, students’ needs and course requirements should be analyzed rigorously. The empirical recommendations of the research, as well as its model, can be implemented to develop other pre-university courses for international programs in Vietnam.

Vernonia amygdalina is tropical shrub with high biomass yield which is used to prepare several dishes, it is also utilized as herb for health improvement. This study was carried out to determine, the proximate, mineral and phytochemicals composition of fresh and dry bitter leaf (Vernonia amygdalina) leaves in Bida metropolis. The Vernonia amygdalina leaf samples were evaluated using standard procedures. The result of the proximate analysis show that percentage dry matter and moisture content shows significant (p<0.05) difference between the samples. The percentage ash content and the crude fiber of both samples does not differ significantly (p>0.05).  The mean percentage of crude protein, crude fat and carbohydrate were significantly (p<0.05) higher in the dry bitter leaf when compared with the values of the fresh bitter leaf. The mineral composition shows   Sodium (0.07 ± 0.00 and 0.08 ± 0.00), potassium (0.04 ± 0.00 and 0.06 ± 0.00), calcium content (0.20 ± 0.03 and 0.47 ± 0.02), magnesium (1.33 ± 0.10 and 0.98 ± 0.00) and Phosphorus (2.11 ± 0.17 and 2.18 ± 3.41). The phytochemical analysis shows that flavonoid value was significantly (p<0.05) higher in the fresh bitter leaf sample than the dry bitter leave sample. The dry bitter leaf sample significantly (p<0.05) recorded high value in alkaloid, oxalate and cyanide when compares to the values obtain from the fresh bitter leaf sample.  Both the dry and fresh better leaf sample did not differ significantly in term of phytate and tannin composition. According to this study, the leaves of Vernonia amygdalina, both fresh and dry, have varying and significant amounts of secondary metabolites (alkaloid, flavonoid, cyanide, oxalate, and phytate), mineral elements (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and Phosphorus), and proximate compositions (moisture, ash, crude fat, crude fibre, protein, and carbohydrate). The outcomes demonstrate the significant health benefits of the two leaves.
A Moderating Influence of Organisational Capabilities on the Relationship between Teacher Competency and Techer Performance within Private Higher Education in Sichuan
Authors: Shukun Liu
Published: March 2024

In the dynamic landscape of private higher education in Sichuan, China, the relationship between teacher competency and performance stands as a critical factor shaping academic excellence and institutional success. This study investigates the nuanced interplay between teacher competency, organizational capabilities, and teacher performance within the context of private higher education institutions (PHEIs) in Sichuan. Drawing upon resource-based theory and organizational capability frameworks, this research aims to uncover how organizational capabilities moderate the relationship between teacher competency and performance. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to gather comprehensive data from faculty members and administrators. The quantitative phase involves surveying a sample of teachers from various disciplines across multiple private higher education institutions in Sichuan. Measures of teacher competency, organizational capabilities, and teacher performance will be assessed using validated scales. Statistical techniques such as regression analysis and moderation analysis will be employed to analyze the quantitative data. In the qualitative phase, semi-structured interviews with faculty members and administrators will provide rich insights into the mechanisms through which organizational capabilities influence the relationship between teacher competency and performance. Thematic analysis will be utilized to identify patterns and themes emerging from the qualitative data. This research contributes to both theoretical understanding and practical implications within the realm of private higher education management. By elucidating the moderating role of organizational capabilities, this study sheds light on strategies that PHEIs in Sichuan can employ to optimize teacher performance through enhancing teacher competency within the organizational context. The findings of this research hold significant implications for policymakers, administrators, and educators aiming to foster a conducive environment for effective teaching and learning in private higher education institutions in Sichuan, China, and beyond.
A Mediating Effect of News Information on the Driver of Green Investment and Herding Behaviour in China's A-Share Market
Authors: Faxing Liao
Published: March 2024

In recent years, the surge in interest and investment towards environmentally sustainable initiatives, particularly in emerging economies like China, has garnered significant attention. This paper investigates the intricate dynamics between green investment drivers, herd behaviour, and the mediating role of news information in China's A-share market. Drawing upon a comprehensive dataset spanning the recent years, this study employs advanced statistical techniques, including structural equation modelling, to analyse the relationships between the aforementioned variables. Firstly, it examines the primary drivers behind green investment in China, considering factors such as regulatory policies, corporate social responsibility initiatives, and market demand for sustainable products and services. Subsequently, the paper delves into the phenomenon of herd behaviour within the A-share market, exploring how investor decisions are influenced by the actions of others rather than fundamental market indicators. This aspect is particularly pertinent in the context of green investment, where social proof and conformity may play a significant role in shaping investment decisions. Moreover, the study elucidates the mediating effect of news information in this relationship. News media serves as a critical intermediary, disseminating information about regulatory changes, corporate sustainability initiatives, and market trends, which in turn influence investor sentiment and decision-making processes. By uncovering the mediating role of news information, this research provides valuable insights into the mechanisms driving green investment and herd behaviour in China's A-share market. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for policymakers, market participants, and sustainability advocates alike, as they seek to promote environmentally responsible investment practices and mitigate the adverse effects of herd behaviour on market stability and efficiency. Overall, this paper contributes to the growing body of literature on sustainable finance and behavioural economics by shedding light on the complex interplay between green investment drivers, herd behaviour, and the role of news information in shaping investor decisions in China's rapidly evolving financial landscape.

The unprecedented COVID-19 era was one that posed drastic changes and challenges to healthcare professionals and the healthcare system at large. During disastrous events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, psychosocial stress was expected in healthcare professionals along with the development of different coping mechanisms. The increased pressure and expectation from the healthcare system and the public, to ensure the continuation of care for patients while, ensuring that they themselves do not become patients, further increase stress and adversely affect mental and physical health. This can lead to decreasing performance and efficacy at work. Healthy dietary habits and physical activity are known to play significant roles in supporting mental health and the immune system by improving its response to infections. Therefore, it is important to ensure preparedness and improve wellness among these individuals in the event of future pandemics. The objectives of this quantitative, descriptive study were to determine the perceived changes of dietary and lifestyle habits in a sample of 348 healthcare professional during the COVID-19 pandemic and to investigate how environmental, physical, and social factors had contributed to the perceived diet and lifestyle changes. The findings indicated that healthcare professionals’ dietary habits and lifestyle were negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In total, 38% (n=131) had indicated that their weight had increased, they consumed more alcohol and fast foods and participated in less exercise. There was a high caffeine consumption and decreased sleep which could adversely affect healthcare professionals’ productivity, resilience and mental health. The negative impacts posed by the pandemic still needs to be mitigated as it has the potential to increase the burden of non-communicable diseases and cause even more burden to the healthcare system. Authorities need to coordinate and develop sustainable programmes relating to coping mechanisms during any state of disaster and support wellness initiatives. Dietitians should be involved in the continued coordination and promote healthy eating through regular training and education of other healthcare professional. Key words: Healthcare professionals, lifestyle, diet, COVID-19, Nutrition.
