Technique of radio suppression of a radio communication system in a Wі­Fі network from noise­like signals based on the HTTP/3 рrotocol
Authors:   State University of Telecommunications, Cherevyk V. M. , Glushchuk A. V.
Published: July 2021

The article presents the results of the analysis of the existing method of radio suppression of radio communication systems in Wi-Fi networks, and conclusions are drawn regarding ways to increase its effectiveness. The method of radio suppression of radio communication systems with noise-like signals was chosen. It contains the implementation of structural obstacles and a scheme for smooth control of their power implemented in the HTTP/3 protocol. This makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of a jamming station with radio suppression of certain radio communication systems and reduce radioelectronic control equipment requirements. For the applied implementation of this technique in a jamming station, it is necessary to predict a reconnaissance tool covering the reception, determination and estimation of the parameters of noise-like signals; structural interference block; unit execution and regulation of the required power level of structural interference. One of the main tasks is to suppress radio communication systems (SRS). However, with the advance of digital technologies in speech and data transmission, noise-signaling (SHP) signals are increasingly being used to improve the noise immunity and latency of SRHs. One way to implement such signals is to modulate the carrier frequency by a pseudorandom sequence. The issue with productive radio suppression (RP) of SRWs with SHPS has been developing quite actively in recent years, and still remains relevant. Based on the features and means of electronic warfare (EWB), the SPS radio communications systems may be muted by the application of high-power shielding, narrowband or pulse interference. But this method does not cover minimization of radiolabeling of EW methods and can lead to electromagnetic compatibility violations.

The Internet of Things as a complex system with delays in signal and control information can predict its state and solve problems of service quality management in real time. The described interdependence of network parameters of different levels allows us to consider the impact on the network. In general, we can say that changes in this network occur due to certain factors that affect the values of network parameters, and these actions can affect any network at any level, which usually leads to changes throughout the network. A representation for estimating the average value of the packet service time in the Internet of Things is proposed, a model of station behavior in the form of a Markov chain with a discrete integer time, the unit of which is a virtual slot, is constructed. Based on the accepted model, we should consider 3 types of virtual slots: «empty», «successful» and «collision» slot. For these cases, we obtained the basic probability calculation formulas. Demographic parameters, territorial parameters and a generalized indicator, which includes many events affecting the network, were chosen as the main external influences. Changes that lead to the influence of external factors on the subsystem may be some actions to modernize the network or vice versa - failure of any element of the subsystem. However, when running a distributed application, there is a conflict between the balanced distribution of objects on the processors and the low speed of messaging between processors. If logical processes are distributed between processors in such a way that the communication costs between them are reduced to zero, then some processors may be idle, while others will be overloaded. Otherwise, a «well-balanced» system will require high communication costs. Therefore, the balancing strategy should be such that the computing nodes are loaded fairly evenly, but the communication environment should not be overloaded. This description of the functioning of the Internet of Things allows you to predict the state of the network to choose appropriate management solutions to improve the forecast situation.
Network infrastructure development for the «Smart Home» system using Z­-Wave technology
Authors:   State University of Telecommunications, Polonevych O. V. , Kovtun A. R.
Published: July 2021

Ready-made solutions for building the network infrastructure of the «Smart Home» system are analyzed, their advantages and disadvantages are revealed. The article discusses in detail the use of Z-Wave technology in building a network for «Smart Home». The plan of building a new network infrastructure is formulated. Based on the analysis, a network infrastructure was developed for the Smart Home system using Z-Wave technology. Z-Wave was introduced to the market in 2003 by Zensys, acquired five years later by Sigma Designs, which now licenses the technology and remains a major supplier of Z-Wave chips. Addressing all the critical needs of the emerging smart home segment, it has become a leading international wireless standard for residential automation management and automation. To date, there are more than 1300 certified devices on the market and around 35 million compatible units are mature and proven technology. Simple Z-Wave covers all layers of the core OSI model for network communications, from the physical layer to the application layer. Unlike the vast majority of the leading wireless solutions, the protocol provides full compatibility between the various branded products based on it. This would be impossible without determining the level of applications, but also without the clear standard and certification programs installed by Z-Wave Alliance. Z-Wave was designed to allow individual nodes to send messages until they reach their final destination. Extending the range of the wireless network significantly, even today, networks are considered essential to providing reliable coverage in building automation. First of all, the Z-Wave network is capable of sending messages through up to 4 repetitive nodes. This alone limits potential applications in a smart home environment, as commercial and office space often require wider network coverage.

Published: July 2021

The actual issue of increasing the data transfer rate in telecommunication systems with MIMO is considered. It is proposed to use an increase in the signal-to-noise ratio due to the processing and addition of signals from parallel antenna channels to increase the throughput of the system by applying quadrature amplitude manipulation. System simulation for MIMO 4x4. The error probability for QAM is calculated. A method is proposed that allows to increase by 4 times the information transfer rate while maintaining the signal duration and, accordingly, the bandwidth of the radio channel. According to the proposed methodology, telecommunication systems can be created with large numbers of multiposition amplitude-manipulated signals, as well as in combination with multiposition phase-shifted signals. It is shown that an increase in the signal-to-noise ratio when processing signals from parallel antenna channels cannot increase the system capacity, but only lead to a decrease in the signal reception error.

Kamień – świadek przymierza w Sychem (Joz 24,1-28)
Authors: Florczyk Łukasz
Published: July 2021

Kamienie były często wykorzystywane w codziennym życiu mieszkańców Kanaanu. Pełniły one także rolę świadków ważnych wydarzeń w historii narodu wybranego oraz niosły ze sobą konkretne przesłanie dla ówczesnych ludzi i przyszłych pokoleń. Takim świadkiem był chociażby wielki kamień, jaki Jozue umieścił pod terebintem w Sychem, w związku z odnowieniem przymierza między Bogiem a Izraelitami. Kamień ten miał przypominać Izraelitom o cudownych interwencjach Jahwe w dziejach narodu wybranego, o pięknych deklaracjach, do których zobowiązali się Izraelici wobec Boga (przede wszystkim chodziło o odrzucenie kultu obcych bóstw i przestrzeganie przepisów Prawa, co miało zagwarantować Boże błogosławieństwo) oraz o zawartym przymierzu.

Świadectwo „tego, który widział” (J 19,34-35)
Authors: Witczyk Henryk
Published: July 2021

Autor szuka odpowiedzi na dwa pytania: kto jest „tym, który widział” i „dał świadectwo” o tym, że z otwartego boku Jezusa ukrzyżowanego „wypłynęła krew i woda” (J 19,34-35)?; jaki jest sens teologiczny przytoczonego świadectwa? Przytacza argumenty, które wskazują, że tym świadkiem, który „mówi „prawdę”, jest „umiłowany uczeń”, idealny autor czwartej Ewangelii. A najgłębsza treść jego świadectwa dotyczy rozumienia śmierci i zmartwychwstania Jezusa jako Ofiary, która jest dla wierzących w Niego wraz z „umiłowanym uczniem” źródłem Ducha (woda), który niesie im Chrystusa żyjącego w synowskiej relacji z Ojcem (krew), czyli Życie.
Miejsce świadectwa w przepowiadaniu homilijnym
Authors: Dyk Stanisław
Published: July 2021

Homilia jest naturalnym jest miejscem chrześcijańskiego świadectwa. Objawienie Boże, którego kontynuacją jest przepowiadanie słowa Bożego, ma bowiem charakter dialogiczny. Bóg udzielając siebie samego w głoszeniu Słowa daje świadectwo o sobie oraz oczekuje na odpowiedź człowieka, która rodzi się z doświadczenia osobowego spotkania z Nim. Odpowiedź ta przyjmuje zatem charakter świadectwa o spotkaniu człowieka z Bogiem. Świadectwo chrześcijańskiego życia jest potwierdzeniem mocy słowa Bożego, jego weryfikacją i ilustracją. W przepowiadaniu homilijnym świadectwo wiary może dojść do głosu w różny sposób, zawsze jednak z ust homilisty. Głosiciel słowa Bożego może w sposób pośredni przekazać doświadczenie Boga kogoś z wierzących lub swoje własne. Homilista ma zaświadczyć o tym, że „widział i słyszał” (doświadczył) Boga w słowie Boże, w liturgii i w życiu wiernych. Homilia jest bowiem słuchaniem Chrystusa obecnego w Piśmie Świętym, oglądaniem Go w ramach liturgii oraz zaświadczaniem o Jego działaniu w życiu wierzących.

Pierwszy List Jana jako świadectwo teologiczne o historii zbawienia realizującej się w Jezusie Chrystusie
Authors: Kot Piotr
Published: July 2021

Lektura Pierwszego Listu Jana rodzi pytanie o naturę świadectwa, które autor pisma składa wobec wspólnoty chrześcijańskiej przeżywającej wewnętrzny kryzys. Czy jest to świadectwo oparte na wyuczonej doktrynie, czy też wyrasta z doświadczenia historycznego autora? Jest to w gruncie rzeczy pytanie o autorytet prezentowanej nauki. Słownictwo zastosowane zwłaszcza w Prologu Listu pozwala określić go jako świadectwo teologiczne. Nie polega ono jedynie na wiernym przywoływaniu z pamięci przeszłych wydarzeń historycznych, gdyż w 1 J autor nie odnosi się wprost do słów i czynów ziemskiego Jezusa. Jest ono raczej traktowaniem zaistniałych faktów jako „źródła teraźniejszości”. Świadectwo to posiada silny autorytet, ponieważ wyrasta z dwóch źródeł: relacji naocznego świadka paschalnego życia Jezusa Chrystusa oraz refleksji nad egzystencjalnymi konsekwencjami tego historio-zbawczego wydarzenia w obliczu aktualnych potrzeb wspólnoty.

Syntagma „mieć świadectwo Jezusa” w Apokalipsie Janowej
Authors: Podeszwa Paweł
Published: July 2021

Temat świadectwa jest jednym w ważnych motywów teologicznych ostatniej księgi Nowego Testamentu, jaką stanowi Apokalipsa Janowa. Rzeczownik „świadectwo” występuje w niej dziewięć razy (1,2.9; 6,9; 11,7; 12,11.17; 19,10bis; 20,4), zawsze w liczbie pojedynczej. Trzykrotnie rzeczownikowi „świadectwo” towarzyszy czasownik „mieć”, z którym tworzy syntagmę „mieć świadectwo” (6,9; 12,17; 19,10). Zdaniem niektórych komentatorów wskazuje ona na „głębszą tożsamość uczniów” Jezusa. W niniejszym artykule proponuję analizę powyższego sformułowania, szukając odpowiedzi na pytanie o istotę owej pogłębionej tożsamość wyznawców Jezusa, którą wyraża omawiany związek wyrazowy. Rozpoczynam od kilku uwag na temat etymologii rzeczownika „świadectwo” pojmowanego jako pamięć o osobach i wydarzeniach. Następnie analizuję trzy fragmenty, w których występuje syntagma „mieć świadectwo”, aby w ostatnim punkcie rozważań szukać odpowiedzi na pytanie o sens tego wyrażenia w kontekście rozumienia tożsamości wyznawców Jezusa. Żywa pamięć o Jezusie, przechowywana, przeżywana i przekazywana, kształtuje tożsamość wyznawców Chrystusa, która powraca do przeszłości, ale jest jednocześnie otwarta na teraźniejszość oraz z nadzieją pozwala oczekiwać przyszłości. W ten sposób wyznawcy Jezusa stają się świadkami i prorokami Jezusa wobec współczesnego świata.

Symbolika światła w narracji synoptyków o przemienieniu Jezusa
Authors: Janczak Galina
Published: July 2021

Artykuł podejmuję próbę ustalenia znaczenia symboliki światła, która pojawia się w narracji synoptyków o przemienieniu Jezusa. W tej perykopie można wyróżnić następujące elementy związane ze światłem: promieniująca twarz Jezusa jak słońce, lśniąco biała szata oraz świetlisty obłok. Synoptycy wykorzystują metaforę światła, żeby opisać rzeczywistość transcendentną, która ukazuje się wybranym uczniom. Motyw światła w epifaniach stanowi zrozumiałą w żydowskim i hellenistycznym środowiskach oznakę przynależności do świata nadprzyrodzonego. Promieniująca światłość stanowi atrybut boskości Jezusa oraz wskazuje na wywyższenie Jego człowieczeństwa. W synoptycznej narracji o przemienieniu Jezusa można znaleźć wspólne elementy z teofanią na Synaju i promieniowaniem twarzy Mojżesza.
Światło Paschy w liturgii jerozolimskiej pierwszych wieków
Authors: Bać Tomasz
Published: July 2021

Artykuł opisuje znaczenie symbolu światła w paschalnej liturgii Jerozolimy pierwszego tysiąclecia chrześcijaństwa. Obrzęd zapalenia światła na początku liturgii Wigilii Wielkanocnej (zwany paschalnym Lucernarium) jest obecny we wszystkich źródłach liturgicznych liturgii jerozolimskiej. Najbardziej znaczące z nich to: Itinerarium Egerii (z końca IV w.), lekcjonarz ormiański (V w.), Wielki Lekcjonarz Kościoła jerozolimskiego tradycji gruzińskiej (VI-VIII w.) oraz Typikon kościoła Anastasis (XII w.). Rozwój obrzędu wielkanocnej liturgii światła, obejmujący zapalenie świecy lub kilku świec wewnątrz edykułu Bożego Grobu, przekazanie światła wszystkim wiernym, modlitwy, śpiew psalmów i antyfon oraz procesje, podkreśla, iż celebracja tajemnicy zmartwychwstania Chrystusa w Jerozolimie miała zawsze wymiar chrystologiczny i eklezjologiczny.
"Zasiądzie w pokoju na wieki" (2 Bar 73,1). Pokój jako element mesjańskiej rzeczywistości eschatologicznej w Syryjskiej Apokalipsie Barucha
Authors: Miduch Maria Elżbieta
Published: July 2021

Druga Księga Barucha to apokalipsa żydowska pochodząca z okresu następującego bezpośrednio po zburzeniu Świątyni Jerozolimskiej przez Tytusa w 70 r. po Chr. Jest to zapis refleksji teologicznej po tym traumatycznym dla Żydów wydarzeniu. Znaczące miejsce w prezentowanej myśli zajmuje mesjasz, jego misja i jego królestwo. Autor Syryjskiej Apokalipsy Barucha w mesjańskiej interwencji widzi ratunek dla przygniecionego nieszczęściami ludu Izraela. Eschatologiczne działania Boga są tożsame z misją jaką wypełni  Boży Pomazaniec. W świecie pełnym chaosu, wojen i przemocy wyczekiwany jest prawdziwy i trwały pokój. Jest on rozumiany znacznie szerzej niż tylko zawieszenie broni. Głębia pokoju objawi się podczas panowania mesjasza. Jego opisy kontrastują z rzeczywistością, w jakiej znajduje się naród wybrany pod panowaniem rzymskim.
Parafia miejscem wychowania do pokoju
Authors: Lipiec Dariusz Andrzej
Published: July 2021

Kościół został powołany do wychowania swoich członków do pokoju. Szczególną rolę w realizacji tego posłannictwa odgrywa parafia, ponieważ jest miejscem spotkania człowieka z Bogiem w słowie Bożym, sakramentach, modlitwie i miłości braterskiej. Wychowanie do pokoju w parafii dokonuje się poprzez budowanie jedności między wierzącymi, której zasadą jest miłość braterska. Dokonuje się ono także przez kształtowanie świadomości i odpowiedzialności za pokój, a także postaw sprzyjających budowaniu jedności i pokoju. W proces wychowania do pokoju odbywający się w parafii zaangażowani są zarówno duchowni, jak świeccy parafianie, przede wszystkim rodziny i członkowie zrzeszeń religijnych.

Transformacja kosmosu w literaturze międzytestamentalnej
Authors: Parchem Marek
Published: July 2021

W literaturze międzytestamentalnej, zwłaszcza w pismach o charakterze apokaliptycznym, pojawia się motyw transformacji kosmosu, który stanowi ostatni etap wydarzeń eschatologicznych. Świat skażony grzechem i zdominowany przez siły zła zostanie w czasach ostatecznych przemieniony i odnowiony przez Boga w rzeczywistość doskonałą, gdzie na wieki panować będzie sprawiedliwość i dobro. W niniejszym opracowaniu zostanie omówiona koncepcja transformacji kosmosu, która pojawia się w różnych dokumentach należących do literatury międzytestamentalnej, mianowicie w dziełach egzegetycznych, gdzie pojawiają się również elementy apokaliptyczne (Księga Jubileuszów: Jub 1,29; 4,26; Księdze starożytności biblijnych Pseudo-Filona: LAB 3,10), w zwojach z Qumran (Reguła zrzeszenia: 1QS 4,25) oraz w apokalipsach (Księga astronomiczna: 1 Hen 72,1; Apokalipsa tygodni: 1 Hen 91,14-17; Apokalipsa zwierząt: 1 Hen 90,37-38; Księga przypowieści: 1 Hen 45,4-5; Czwarta Księga Ezdrasza: 4 Ezd 7,28-31.75.113-114; Apokalipsa Barucha syryjska: 2 Bar 32,1-6; 57,1-3).

The growth rate of Paraserianthes moluccana is effected by the planting medium quality. Biochar is a soil-improving agent that could improve soil quality. This study aimed to determine the effect of biochar made from meranti wood (Shorea spp.) by pyrolysis temperature at 400°C and 600°C and dose at 0 ton/ha, 25 ton/ha and 50 ton/ha factors through the growth rate of P. moluccana. The P. moluccana was planted within 2x2 m in the field. The size of planting holes was 100 x 60 cm, the biochar was placed at a depth of 100 cm to 20 cm, then it was covered with soil so that the root did not interact directly to the biochar. This research used 6 months old P. moluccana seedling, and was planted in field demplot for 8 months. The research used the Split Plot experimental design with 5 treatments and 7 repetitions. Data analysis used Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Least Significance Different (LSD). The effect of biochar could be seen since the 4th month of plantation. The results showed that biochar with a dose of 25 ton/ha and pyrolysis temperature of 600°C had a very significant effect on the increment of height and significant on diameter steam increment of P. moluccana; increased the rate of stem height 22.6% and stem diameter 23.6% faster than the control. Further research related to the dynamics of P. moluccana growth with a longer time is needed because the physical properties of biochar change over time.

Background: Hypertension in pregnancy (HIP) is the second highest cause of maternal death in Indonesia. Termination of pregnancy in patients with HIP or preeclampsia is the most common treatment to save both the mother and the fetus. There are two methods of delivery that can be done, namely vaginal or abdominal termination (sectio caesaria). Due to the high incidence of severe preeclampsia in Indonesia and the various determinants in choosing a delivery method for severe preeclampsia, the aim of this study is to analyze what factors influenced it in Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang Hospital.

Method: This type of study is an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional study design. A total of 210 samples were taken using the simple random sampling technique from the medical records of severe preeclampsia patients who gave birth at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang Hospital during January 2018 – December 2019 and was analyzed by univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis with SPSS ver.26.

Result: A total of 81 (38.6%) PEB patients underwent vaginal delivery and 129 (61.4%) underwent a caesarean section delivery. From the observations, 67 people (57.3%) were aged 20-34 years, 40 people (78.4%) with a gestational age of 34-36 weeks, 92 people (57.9%) multiparity, 104 people (62, 3%) without a history of hypertension, 86 people (53.4%) without a history of SC, 98 people (84,5%) with a bishop score ≤5, 116 people (59,5%) without PJT, 122 people (61%) without macrosomic fetuses, 108 people (63.5%) without PROM, and 84 people (75%) with complications underwent cesarean delivery. The factors of gestational age (p value = 0.001), history of sectio caesaria (p value = 0.000), bishop score (p value = 0.000), and complications or comorbidities (p value = 0.000) had a significant relationship to the method of delivery for patients with PEB with factors bishop score is the most influencing factor (OR = 10,299).

Conclusion: Therefore, gestational age, history of CS, bishop score, and complications or comorbidities are factors that influence the delivery method of PEB patients.

Aims: Heavy exercise can damage the immune system by oxidative stress. The role of herbal supplements during and after strenuous exercise is unknown. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine hydroethanolic extract of pomegranate peels and a period of high-intensity interval training on the C-reactive protein and antioxidant enzyme activity in rats. Methods & Materials: This research was an experimental study. The statistical population was rats, of which 36 Wistar rats were randomly selected and were divided into 4 groups (control, hydroethanolic extract of pomegranate peels, high-intensity interval training, and hydroethanolic extract of pomegranate peels + high-intensity interval training). After 8 weeks of interval training and supplementation, blood samples were taken from the rats. Then, the C-reactive protein and the activity of the antioxidant enzymes of superoxide dismutase and catalase were assessed by 1-way analysis of variance. Findings: The results showed that in the group of hydroethanolic extract of pomegranate peels + high-intensity interval training, the superoxide dismutase (P=0.000) and catalase (P=0.003) significantly increased, and the C-reactive protein (P=0.002) decreased. Tukey’s test confirmed the significance of these changes in the hydroethanolic extract of pomegranate peels+high-intensity interval training compared to the control group. Conclusion: The combination of high-intensity interval training and hydroethanolic extract of pomegranate peels could strengthen the immune system, potentially enhances athletic performance, and accelerates recovery after exercises. The hydroethanolic extract of pomegranate peels and high-interval training synergistically boost the immune system and increase physical endurance.

Aims: Sodium nitrite is a food preservative that can endanger human health. This study aimed to investigate the perinatal and neonatal effects of sodium nitrite on the functional and tissue structure of rats’ offspring kidneys. Methods & Materials: In this experimental study, 56 female rats were divided into seven groups (n=8): control, perinatal and neonatal control groups, experimental groups 1 and 2 perinatal and neonatal (under oral treatment of doses of 90 and 180 mg/kg sodium nitrite during pregnancy and lactation). At the end of infancy, 8 offspring of rats were randomly selected from each group. After blood sampling, creatinine, urea, and uric acid levels were measured, and by extracting their kidneys, histopathological evaluation was performed. Findings: Perinatal and neonatal administration of 90 and 180 mg/kg sodium nitrite impaired renal tissue structure and significantly increased serum levels of creatinine, urea, and uric acid levels (P<0.001) in rats’ offspring compared to those in the control groups. Conclusion: Sodium nitrite consumption during pregnancy and lactation increases the serum levels of urea, uric acid, and creatinine by changing the tissue structure of the offspring kidneys.

Aims: Structural postural changes due to aging are common among the elderly due to decreased muscle mass and tissue. We evaluated the effect of 10 weeks of core muscle training on serum levels of follistatin, myostatin, and pain in older women with low back pain. Methods & Materials: A total of 18 older women with low back pain (aged 60 to 70 y) were randomly assigned into two groups: experimental (n=9) and control (n=9). The training program of core muscles included 55 to 60 min sessions, 3 times per week for 10 weeks. Before and after the training, serum follistatin and myostatin, along with pain intensity and lumbar function, were evaluated. The obtained data were analyzed by paired sample t test and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to compare intragroup and intergroup differences, respectively. Findings: Core muscle training led to a significant reduction in the relative pain scale (P=0.001). Follistatin (P=0.001) and myostatin (P=0.001) levels increased and decreased significantly at the end of the training period, respectively. Lumbar function improved in the training group. Changes in means of between groups in relative pain scale, follistatin, myostatin, and lumbar function have a significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: Core muscle training was associated with a decline in myostatin level, increase in follistatin level, and improving lumbar function. In summary, core muscle training may decrease muscle atrophy related to age.

Aims: The emergence of COVID-19 disease has created significant stress and anxiety for health care workers. This study aimed to investigate the stressors and coping strategies in the staff of Allameh Bohlool Hospital in Gonabad City, Iran, during the outbreak of the COVID-19 disease. Methods & Materials: This cross-sectional study was performed on 252 employees of Allameh Bohlool Hospital in Gonabad from March 2020 to April 2020. Study tools included a brief form of coping styles (Brief-COPE) and a researcher-made questionnaire of stressors due to the emergence of COVID-19 among health care workers. The obtained data were analyzed using linear regression and ordinal regression models at the significance level of 0.05. Findings: About 74.2%, 69.4%, 52.7%, 52.7%, and 99.2% of the hospital staff had moderate to high stress in the domains of internal, family-social, workplace-related, infection control, and government measures, respectively. The degree of using adaptive and maladaptive coping styles used by staff were 52.0% and 23.8% at the moderate to the high level, respectively. Maladaptive coping styles had a positive and significant relationship with stress intensity so that for each unit increase in maladaptive coping score, the odds of experiencing higher levels of stress increased 1.24 to 1.45 times (P<0.001). Also, the odds of experiencing higher levels of stress in those who had sports activities was 24% to 76% lower (P=0.003). Conclusion: The findings of the present study indicated a high level of stress among hospital staff. Also, the use of maladaptive coping styles and sports activities had a significant positive and negative relationship with stress intensity, respectively. Therefore, designing effective interventions focusing on reducing maladaptive coping patterns among hospital staff and encouraging people to engage in sports activities can help manage stress as much as possible due to the outbreak of COVID-19 disease.
