Published: December 2020

Park-people relationships are crucial for the effective operation of national parks (NPs). According to this new paradigm, protected areas are increasingly considered as instruments for regional development, particularly in marginal regions. However, park-people relationships often comprise conflicts. We tried to understand park-people relationships through the views and attitudes of local people living in or around the area of the Slovak Karst NP, which is found in a marginal, less developed region within Slovakia. We carried out a questionnaire survey and applied multidimensional statistical methods for the results. We identified four attitude dimensions and six local people clusters. Clusters were compared in terms of socio-demographic characteristics, views on NP tasks, attitudes towards the NP, tourism and nature, as well as migration intentions. We found that 45% of the sampled population had positive attitudes towards the NP and nature, 29.5% were neutral and 25.5% had somewhat negative feelings. Results showed that the personal economic situation, the relationship with tourism, age, education level and profession all influence the attitude of local people towards the NP. As for the socio-economic development of the region, we found that till now, the Slovak Karst NP had only a limited role. Nonetheless, understanding the views and attitudes of local people may help to refine the NP strategy. Results suggest that NP management should strengthen the interaction with local communities and improve resource efficiency through a participatory approach to preserve natural values, improve the quality of life and stop outward migration from the region.

An assessment of the natural ochratoxin A (OTA) exposure of seven Martina Franca jennies was carried out by analyzing blood and milk samples collected close to and after delivery. A total of 41 and 34 blood samples were collected from jennies and foals, respectively, and analyzed by ELISA. A total of 33 milk samples were collected from jennies and analyzed by the HPLC/FLD method based on IAC clean-up. Furthermore, 53 feed samples were collected from January to September and analyzed by a reference method (AOAC Official Method No. 2000.03) for OTA content. Feed samples showed OTA levels up to 2.7 ng/g with an incidence of 32%, while the OTA incidence rate in jennies’ blood samples was 73%, with a median value of 97 ng/L and concentrations ranging from <LOD to 6000 ng/L. A seasonal effect on OTA levels in positive blood samples was observed, with increases in the 53% of the positive ones from April to June. Concerning foals, the incidence rate of blood samples was 50%, with a median value of 52 ng/L, and concentrations ranged from <LOD to 4034 ng/L. The incidence of milk samples was 36%, with levels ranging from <LOD to 82 ng/L. In conclusion, the results showed a natural exposure of jennies and foals to OTA, and its presence in jenny milk could pose a risk for human newborns, considering its well-known nutritional and health properties.

Properties of geometric hypergraphs of wireless computer networks
Authors:   Kuban State University, Mikov Alexander I. , Mikov Alexander A.
Published: December 2020

Mathematical models of wireless computer networks are considered, reflecting two types of interaction between nodes of the same network — broadcast and routing. A natural form of representation of such a network is a hypergraph, in which the direct links between nodes that do not require routing are specified by the hyper-edges. The routes are chains of hyper-edges. The concepts of geometric and random hypergraphs are introduced, the dependences of the probabilistic characteristics of random geometric hypergraphs on the number of vertices and radii of reliable reception / transmission of radio signals by network nodes are studied — the mathematical expectation and standard deviation of the number of hyperedges, degrees of hyperedges. The properties of dynamic geometric hypergraphs are discussed, their influence on the connectivity of a computer network, and the requirements for algorithms for managing connectivity in terms of hypergraphs are formulated.

One of the tasks of information security audit is to monitor the processes of data exchange between operating system programs. A huge number of such files as well as the heterogeneity of exchange between them do not allow an expert to perform the task manually. Full automation of the process is difficult to implement due to the weak formalization of information about exchange processes and criteria for their insecurity. This paper proposes a partial solution to the problem by visualizing the interaction of programs for an expert — in the form of an appropriate method. The expediency of using artificial intelligence as one of the stages of the method is substantiated. The developed prototype of the tool is described and its basic testing is carried out.

Published: December 2020

The article discusses the architecture of a system for collecting and analyzing heterogeneous data from social networks. This architecture is a distributed system of subsystem modules, each of which is responsible for a separate task. The system also allows you to use external systems for data analysis, providing the necessary interface abstraction for connection. This allows for more flexible customization of the data analysis process and reduces development, implementation and support costs.

Chronobiology is the process that studies the biological rhythms of living beings, in which each organism has its own biological clock. Sleep is a state of unconsciousness, characterized by the active inhibitory process, and that has an important relationship with feeding, mainly due to the possibility of sleep privation increasing starvation through hormonal regulation. In addition, starvation can lead to obesity, contributing to the risk factors for chronic non-communicable diseases, such as high blood pressure, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, and some forms of cancer. The cycle of bad sleep may cause direct health problems, such as the diseases mentioned above; and indirect, may result in traffic accidents, unemployment, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships, with the possibility of progressing to anxiety disorders. This study aims to analyze whether there is a relationship between healthy eating and the standard of sleep quality, providing better performance of daily activities. For this study, the 133 participants answered 3 feeding records and, later, questionnaires on sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) in three moments. Considering the three questionnaires, there were no significant differences obtained by calculating the statistical tests, however, the analysis of the gross medians with the proposed score showed a strict relationship between sleep and food. In addition to the relationship between food and sleep quality, other factors such as stress and anxiety can contribute to hormonal dysregulation, thus changing the pattern of sleep quality of individuals.

Published: December 2020

Usaha Mikro Kecil dan Menengah (UMKM) memiliki peran yang sangat strategis dalam perekonomian Indonesia. Namun demikian, para pelaku UMKM masih memiliki keterbatasan, seperti kualitas produk, keterbatasan permodalan, dan jaringan pemasaran. Salah satu solusi untuk mengatasi keterbatasan tersebut adalah memperkuat UMKM melalui analisis value chain management. Value chain (rantai nilai) merupakan jalan dalam  mengkonseptualkan aktivitas yang diperlukan dalam menciptakan nilai dari produk atau jasa. Lingkungan yang kondusif bagi UMKM dapat memastikan kolaborasi yang optimal dengan para pemangku kepentingan di pemerintahan, entitas bisnis yang beragam, serta dunia pendidikan. Kolaborasi diarahkan untuk berpikir strategis dalam menciptakan nilai produk atau jasa. UMKM juga harus fokus pada tingkat integritas unit bisnisnya. Dalam rantai nilai dioptimalkan melalui analisis value chain manajemen yang bernilai excellent. Jadi UMKM bisa diarahkan agar memiliki performance yang superior melalui analisis prinsip operasional value chain manajemen yang efektif serta strategic positioning yang tepat pada rantai nilainya agar bisa bertahan dan berkembang lebih maju lagi. Hasil studi ini menunjukkan bahwa para pelaku UMKM harus mengenali konsumen melalui diferensiasi produk atau jasa, mengkomunikasikan keunggulan, kekhasan, keunikan, dan digitalisasi proses bisnis serta strategic positioning yang tepat, sehingga dapat mendorong bisnis menjadi optimal serta akan memastikan UMKM bertahan dan bahkan mendapatkan keuntungan yang lebih optimal.
Armas revolucionarias. Discusiones sobre la violencia en los grupos disidentes de Montoneros en los años setenta
Authors: Slipak Daniela
Published: December 2020

En este artículo examino los sentidos sobre la violencia que distintas disidencias grupales de Montoneros desplegaron durante la década del setenta. ¿Fue desestimada por los grupos que rompieron con la organización? ¿Qué enunciaron sobre la violencia revolucionaria y sus posibilidades en la coyuntura? ¿Cuáles fueron sus similitudes y distancias? Para dar respuesta a estos interrogantes, analizo un conjunto de documentos y publicaciones que los Montoneros Columna José Sabino Navarro de 1972, la Juventud Peronista Lealtad de 1974, el Peronismo Montonero Auténtico de 1979, y los Montoneros 17 de Octubre de 1980 publicaron en Argentina y en el exilio. Además, si bien no constituyó una disidencia grupal, tomaré las críticas de Rodolfo Walsh. Con ello, pretendo realizar tres aportes: a) contribuir a un área todavía vacante en la bibliografía académica, que es la de los grupos disidentes que Montoneros tuvo en distintos momentos de su derrotero; b) brindar elementos para restituir la diversidad de la militancia en los años setenta; y c) problematizar, desde una perspectiva teórico-política, el vínculo conceptual entre violencia y política en las identidades insurgentes de la época.

Purpose: The empirical research study evaluated environmental potentials of site locations for Tourism development along River Ethiope, Abraka Delta State, Nigeria, Four(4)sites’ 40 environmental features were considered important in the tourism sites evaluation. The primary data sources used include oral interview and administration of questionnaires. Research methodology: These are physical, biological and human components of tourism destinations, evaluated for each of the 4sites, and compared. Each of the 40 factors was measured using appropriate instruments like measuring tape and floater (for velocity). Students t test was undertaken to compare the evaluations of the two groups of professional and non-professional assessors. With a calculated value of 0.143, and table value of 0.283, with df2:3 at 0.05 level, the difference in site ranking between the first and second evaluation was not considered significant. High confidence or reliability can therefore be placed on the tourism site evaluation results obtained at the 0.05 significance level. The use of nominal or interval scales was to estimate variables, which were not subject to direct measurements in interval scale. Three groups of sites emerged from the preliminary survey of those selected: Natural or undeveloped sites, relate. Results: Result obtained showed that undeveloped and natural sites emerged most highly rated in environmental potentials for tourism site development compared to underdeveloped or highly developed sites. Limitation: The area lies within tropical equatorial rain forest vegetation which is an impenetrable ticket of under growth with trees and climbers. Moreover, dangerous reptiles especially (snakes and crocodile) as well as insect (Mosquitos and tsetse fly) are present and harmful to man in the environment. Contribution: The study concludes and suggests natural sites be accord priority in tourism site development along River Ethiope and invariably other related natural area worldwide for maximum patronage implications based on advocated research methodology.

Published: December 2020

Russians and Baltic Finns have been neighbours in the Republic of Karelia for centuries. Furthermore, now totally Russian-speaking Zaonezhye and Prionezhye areas used to have a Karelian and Veps population. The vicinity and constant contacts reveal themselves clearly in the vocabulary, place names and culture of sub-ethnic groups of Russians, Veps, and Karelians. The Russian traces in Balto-Finnic languages and culture are the most obvious, and locals are not in dispute over the influence. An opposite situation is observed among contemporary Russian residents of Karelia, who have not only lost all connection to Karelians and Veps, but even refute the possibility of any contacts in the past.

Studies of Galactic structure and evolution have benefited enormously from Gaia kinematic information, though additional, intrinsic stellar parameters like age are required to best constrain Galactic models. Asteroseismology is the most precise method of providing such information for field star populations en masse, but existing samples for the most part have been limited to a few narrow fields of view by the CoRoT and Kepler missions. In an effort to provide well-characterized stellar parameters across a wide range in Galactic position, we present the second data release of red giant asteroseismic parameters for the K2 Galactic Archaeology Program (GAP). We provide

The astronomical emission features, formerly known as the unidentified infrared bands, are now commonly ascribed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The laboratory experiments and computational modeling performed at NASA Ames Research Center generated a collection of PAH IR spectra that have been used to test and refine the PAH model. These data have been assembled into the NASA Ames PAH IR Spectroscopic Database (PAHdb). PAHdb’s library of computed spectra, currently at version 3.20, contains data on more than 4000 species and the library of laboratory-measured spectra, currently at version 3.00, contains data on 84 species. The spectra can be perused and are available for download at  www.astrochemistry.org/pahdb/. This paper introduces the library of laboratory-measured spectra. Although it has been part of PAHdb since its inception, the library of laboratory-measured spectra lacked a proper description in the literature. Here, the experimental methods used to obtain the data are described in detail, an overview of the contents of the experimental library is given, and specific tools developed to analyze and interpret astronomical spectra with the laboratory data are discussed. In addition, updates to the website, documentation and software tools since our last reporting are presented. Software tools to work with the spectroscopic libraries are being developed actively and are available at GitHub. Lastly, a comprehensive demonstration showing how the laboratory-measured data can be applied to explore absorption features in observations toward embedded sources is presented. This demonstration suggests that PAHs very likely contribute to interstellar absorption spectra associated with dense clouds and underscores the need for further IR spectroscopic studies of PAHs trapped in water ice.
Fecal Microbiota in Untreated Children With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: A Comparison With Healthy Children and Healthy Siblings
Authors: Öman Anders , Dicksved Johan , Engstrand Lars , Berntson Lillemor
Published: December 2020

Objective

Changes in the composition of gut microbiota have been suggested to be associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The objective in this study was to investigate if the diversity and composition of the fecal microbiota differed between children with JIA and healthy controls (HCs), and if the microbiota differed between children with JIA and their healthy siblings.

Methods

In this multicenter, case-control study, fecal samples were collected from 75 children with JIA and 32 HCs. Eight of the HCs were siblings to 8 children with JIA, and they were compared only pairwise with their siblings. The microbiota was determined using sequencing amplicons from the V3 and V4 regions of the 16S rRNA gene. Alpha diversity, community composition of microbiota, and relative abundances of taxa were compared between children with JIA and healthy unrelated controls as well as between children with JIA and healthy siblings.

Results

Our data revealed no significant differences in α-diversity or community composition of microbiota between children with JIA, healthy unrelated controls, or healthy siblings. Analyses of relative abundances of phyla, families, and genera identified trends of differing abundances of some taxa in children with JIA, in comparison with both HCs and healthy siblings, but none of these findings were significant after adjustment for multiple comparisons.

Conclusion

There were no significant differences in the composition of fecal microbiota in children with JIA compared with HCs. The composition of microbiota in children with JIA did not differ significantly from that in their healthy siblings.
The Problem of Pain in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: An Explication of the Role of Biopsychosocial Mechanisms
Authors: Falasinnu Titilola , Drenkard Cristina , Bao Gaobin , Mackey Sean , Lim S. Sam
Published: December 2020

Objective

To define biopsychosocial mechanisms of pain that go above and beyond disease activity and organ damage in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of patient-reported data in a population-based registry of 766 people with SLE. Predictors of pain intensity and interference were examined using hierarchical linear regression. We built 2 main hierarchical regression models with pain intensity and interference as outcomes, both regressed on disease activity and organ damage. For each model, we sought to establish the relationship between pain outcomes and the primary exposures using sequential steps comprising the inclusion of each construct in 6 stages: demographic, socioeconomic, physical, psychological, behavioral, and social factors. We also conducted sensitivity analyses eliminating all overt aspects of pain in the disease activity measure and reestimated the models.

Results

Disease activity and organ damage explained 32–33% of the variance in pain intensity and interference. Sociodemographic factors accounted for an additional 4–9% of variance in pain outcomes, whereas psychosocial/behavioral factors accounted for the final 4% of variance. In the sensitivity analyses, we found that disease activity and organ damage explained 25% of the variance in pain outcomes.

Conclusion

Disease activity only explained 33% of the variance in pain outcomes. However, there was an attenuation in these associations after accounting for psychosocial/behavioral factors, highlighting their roles in modifying the relationship between disease activity and pain. These findings suggest that multilevel interventions may be needed to tackle the negative effect of pain in SLE.
Comparing the Measurement Properties and Preferability of Patient-reported Outcome Measures in Pediatric Rheumatology: PROMIS vs CHAQ
Authors: Craig Joshua , Feldman Brian M. , Spiegel Lynn , Dover Saunya
Published: December 2020

Objective.

The Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ), though widely used for assessments in pediatric rheumatology, has drawbacks, including low correlation to disease activity and ceiling effects. We sought to determine if any tools from the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) improve on these shortcomings and/or are preferred by patients.

Methods.

Patients 5–17 years of age with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) or juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) were recruited from the rheumatology clinics at a Canadian children’s hospital. Participants completed the CHAQ, 3 PROMIS measures (pain interference, mobility, and physical activity), and underwent a standard clinical assessment.

Results.

Fifty-two patients participated, 25 with JIA and 27 with JDM. None of the PROMIS measures suffered from ceiling effects, whereas the CHAQ Disability Index (DI) and pain visual analog scales both did, with 50% and 20% of patients achieving the best possible scores, respectively. The PROMIS mobility was moderately correlated to the CHAQ-DI (rs –0.60, 95% CI –0.75 to –0.40), and the PROMIS pain interference was strongly correlated to the CHAQ pain score (rs 0.65, 95% CI 0.43–0.80). No measures correlated with disease activity. Patients preferred the PROMIS to the CHAQ.

Conclusion.

The PROMIS pain interference, mobility, and physical activity measures improve in some areas where the CHAQ is weak: they do not suffer from ceiling effects, and patients prefer the PROMIS tools. More work is needed to determine the correlation and responsiveness of the PROMIS tools to changes in disease activity over time before they should be widely adopted for clinical use.
Le témoignage intime et politique mis en scène dans la trilogie sur l’Europe de Milo Rau
Authors: Solidaki Ioanna
Published: December 2020

Dans cet essai, j’aimerais observer l’usage que le metteur en scène Milo Rau fait des témoignages et des témoins dans le cas particulier de Europa Trilogie . Je mènerai une analyse dramaturgique commune pour les trois spectacles, Civil Wars (2014), Dark Ages (2015) et Empire (2016), qui forment la trilogie, dans le but de cerner la qualification de théâtre du réel revendiquée par le metteur en scène. Sont pris en considération le dispositif scénique et intermédial qu’il utilise, comment il produit les témoignages sur scène et à l’écran, mêlant l’intimité des autobiographies avec les évènements historiques et politiques, quels paradoxes et tensions il créé dans la représentation et vers quoi il fait basculer la figure du témoin. Je montrerai que le travail du metteur en scène est animé de l’interrogation sur comment mettre le public face au témoin aussi bien que face à l’actualité historique et politique, et qu’il y répond par un théâtre qui s’attache à éviter toute forme de tromperie envers les spectatrices et les spectateurs en exposant ses propres processus de fabrication.
La démographie historique peut-elle tirer profit des données collaboratives des sites de généalogie ?
Authors: Charpentier Arthur , Gallic Ewen
Published: December 2020

Les sites qui proposent à leurs utilisateurs de reconstituer en ligne leur arbre généalogique fleurissent sur Internet. Cet article analyse le travail de collecte et de saisie effectué par ces utilisateurs et comment il pourrait être utilisé en démographie historique, afin de compléter la connaissance des générations du passé. Pour cela, les résultats obtenus à partir de la base Geneanet sont confrontés à ceux connus de la littérature, et concernent les enregistrements de 2 457 450 individus français ou d'origine française ayant vécu au xix e  siècle. Est ainsi mis en évidence un biais important du rapport de masculinité (sous-représentation des femmes). La fécondité est elle aussi fortement sous-estimée. Quant à la mortalité, (par comparaison aux valeurs historiques), ces données sous-estiment la mortalité des hommes jusqu’à 40 ans environ et celle des femmes jusqu’à 25 ans, puis elles la surestiment. Enfin, la richesse des caractéristiques spatiales contenues dans les arbres généalogiques est également exploitée pour produire de nouvelles données sur les migrations internes au xix e  siècle.
Les Lettres nouvelles de Milan de Pierre Gringore : la propagande entre vers et prose
Authors: Delvallée Ellen
Published: December 2020

Pierre Gringore compose les Lettres Nouvelles de Milan à l’occasion de la capture de Ludovic Sforza en 1500. Le texte se présente comme un bulletin d’information, recueillant trois lettres en prose détaillant les événements, puis des vers reprenant peu ou prou les mêmes informations. Quelles valeurs revêtent prose et vers dans ce texte de propagande ? Tandis que les lettres en prose offrent des témoignages de première main et garantissent une vérité factuelle, les vers fonctionnent comme une amplification encomiastique à la gloire de la couronne de France mais aussi du poète qui cherche un mécène. Par ailleurs, Gringore propose également dans ses vers au style plus ou moins orné une réflexion sur le rôle du poète pour établir une vérité morale et la transmettre à des publics variés.

Les expositions d’histoire comme constructions narratives
Authors: Remark Hugo
Published: December 2020

L’écriture de l’histoire a fait l’objet d’un grand nombre d’études narratologiques. Celles-ci partent du principe que la relation de l’histoire s’appuie nécessairement sur une composante narrative, et que, dès lors, l’étude de cette part de récit dans l’historiographie permet de distinguer différents discours historiques. S’appuyant sur ces acquis ainsi que sur ceux de la narratologie transmédiale, cette courte étude tente d’étudier ce que les expositions ayant trait à l’histoire ont de narratif, comment elles supportent un discours, afin de proposer des critères pour caractériser ce discours, en le positionnant notamment par rapport au récit de fiction et au discours historique.

Since 1999, the CORE Group Polio Project (CGPP) has developed, refined, and deployed effective strategies to mobilize communities to improve vaccine uptake for polio (and other vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles) and conduct surveillance for infectious disease threats in high-risk, border, and hard-to-reach locations. CORE Group Polio Project teams have been called upon to address the COVID-19 pandemic, and, like with polio, the pandemic response is impacted by stigma in all areas of response, from health education, testing, contact tracing, and even treatment for infected individuals. The CGPP has reached back into its polio experience and is redeploying successful community engagement activities to address stigma as part of the COVID-19 response. Across country programs, community health volunteers communicate risk and behavior change at the household level by integrating health education and promotion activities with a focus on practical measures of COVID-19 prevention. Moreover, leveraging established and trusted partnerships with community networks and community leaders are providing lessons that can be adopted by the global community. The CGPP offers three overarching recommendations to curb stigma: 1) facilitating inclusive community engagement, 2) leveraging existing community networks and 3) cocreating with community leaders.

Published: December 2020

Şiddet; temelin de hükmetme ya da yaptırma unsuru olan bir olgu olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Çok farklı şekillerde tanımlanabilen şiddet olgusunun her geçen gün içeriğine yeni anlamlar eklenmektedir. Şiddet olgusu türleri açısından değerlendirildiğinde, fiziksel şiddet en kapsamlı ve yaygın görülen şiddet biçimi olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Öğrenciler arasında şiddetin yaygınlığı ya da sorunların çözümünde şiddetin bir yöntem olarak tercih edilmesi, toplumsal bütünü etkileyen bir durum olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu nedenle gençler arasında şiddetin yaygınlığı ve boyutu; öğrenciler, aileler ve eğitimciler boyutuyla ele alınıp değerlendirilmesi gereken önemli bir konu olmaktadır. Bu çalışma Elazığ ili merkez ilçesinde bulunan devlet ve özel lise statüsünde yer alan toplam 42 adet ortaöğretim kurumunun öğrencileri üzerinde Milli Eğitim Bakanlığından izin alınarak gönüllülük esasına dayalı anket uygulaması gerçekleştirilerek tamamlanmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı, lise dönemindeki öğrencilerin şiddet kavramından ne algıladıklarını hangi şiddet türlerine maruz kaldıkları ya da uyguladıklarını tespit etmektir. Anket sonuçları SPSS 22 paket programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada frekans analizi, t testi ve ANOVA analizi uygulanmış, elde edilen bulgular arasında, lise öğrencilerinin şiddet algılarının fiziksel şiddet ağırlıklı olduğu, kişisel özelliklerin şiddet kavramından etkilendiği ve etkilediği sonuçlarına ulaşılmış eğitimciler, aileler ve öğrenciler için diğer çalışmaların sonuçları dikkate alınarak önerilerde bulunulmuştur. Bu çalışmanın şiddetin öğrenciler arasında algılanma biçimini ortaya koyması bağlamında önemli olduğunu düşünüyoruz.
Maximizing the Competitive Value of Product Design Innovation: Re-framing and Re-aligning the Design-Business Relationship
Authors: Bolton Simon , Green Lawrence
Published: December 2020

This paper focuses on the contribution of the independent product design industry to business and strategy development processes of contemporary organizations. It embarks from the observation that whilst some policy-makers and enlightened businesses recognize the role and value of design beyond the traditional and narrow confines of technical or ‘commodity’ input, many fail to understand its potential as a transformative tool. Applying evidence from three empirical studies, and taking the perspective of design creative, the paper addresses three questions: why is it that product designers have encountered resistance in their efforts to promote themselves as well-placed and knowledgeable providers of strategic development intelligence and advice; what proven contributions can product designers offer with respect to their client’s business development planning?

Published: December 2020

Introduction: The worldwide emergence of COVID-19 has been associated with
diverse consequences, including anxiety. Hope is believed to act as a motivation to enable
one to cope with the anxiety. This study was conducted to identify the role of hope in
alleviating anxiety due to the COVID-19 outbreak during the primary phase among
community dwellers in Iran.
Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 3,565 subjects with the convenience
sampling method. Data collection tools used included the COVID-19 knowledge checklist,
Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) questionnaires and Snyder Hope Scale. Participants
were asked to fill in the questionnaires online. The data were analysed using descriptive
and inferential statistics (multivariate linear regression analysis).
Results: Participants’ mean scores of anxiety and hope were 6.06±4.52 and 31.27±4.52,
respectively. The results indicated that 27.1% of the changes in the anxiety scores were
predictable with some of the variables examined in this study. A high score of hope was
directly associated with a lower level of anxiety. In addition, the number of hours spent
following news and information on COVID-19 was significantly related to anxiety level.
Moreover, female gender, urban residence, and having relatives suffering from COVID-19
were significantly related to a higher level of anxiety (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The morbidity and mortality associated with the COVID-19 outbreak had
brought a lot of anxiety among community dwellers. Hope, potentially, can contribute
to overcoming anxiety. Therefore, health policymakers can introduce appropriate social
interventions to enable the community to cope with stress and anxiety.

Keywords: Generalised anxiety disorder, hope, mental health, pandemic

Pandemik Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) yang melanda Malaysia dan seluruh dunia telah memberi implikasi yang sangat besar kepada pelbagai sektor termasuklah sektor pendidikan negara. Ia menuntut setiap pelajar untuk beradaptasi dengan sistem pengajaran dan pembelajaran (PdP) secara dalam talian daripada sistem konvensional yang sedia ada. Proses adaptasi ini memerlukan pelajar untuk mempunyai strategi daya tindak yang bersesuaian agar dapat mendepani tekanan akademik yang berlaku. Justeru, kajian ini adalah bertujuan untuk meninjau cabaran pembelajaran dalam talian dalam kalangan pelajar, impak tekanan akademik terhadap kesejahteraan kendiri dan strategi daya tindak yang boleh diaplikasikan oleh pelajar. Maklumat yang diketengahkan adalah berdasarkan kajian perpustakaan melalui kaedah analisis kandungan. Teori Kesejahteraan Psikologi atau Psychological Well-being (PWB) telah diadun bersama Teori Transaksional Tekanan dan Daya Tindak Lazarus dan Folkman bagi merungkai permasalahan yang wujud ini. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan terdapat pelbagai faktor dalaman dan luaran yang menjadi cabaran kepada pembelajaran dalam talian yang memberi natijah terhadap tekanan akademik. Di Malaysia, kajian berkaitan cabaran pembelajaran dalam talian semasa norma baharu yang mencetuskan tekanan akademik masih lagi terhad dan minima. Oleh itu, kajian ini dapat menjadi satu platform dan sumber rujukan baru khususnya terhadap institusi pendidikan di negara ini bagi memastikan sistem pembelajaran dalam talian dapat dilaksanakan dengan efisien serta dimanfaatkan secara optimum oleh setiap pelajar di Malaysia.
