Reasons behind the Passivity of Sri Lankan Youth on Eco-Consciousness
Authors: Karunaratne K M Sunethra Kumari
Published: August 2023

This paper explores the reasons behind the passivity of Sri Lankan youth on Eco Consciousness. Even though there are enough debates, researches and discussions about being conscious towards nature in Sri Lanka, the youth between 18-25 of age could be identified as apathetic or are as environmentally not savvy. Due to current Covid-19 pandemic situations they are more engrossed in internet since internet has overpowered the youth. With the emergence of new social media such as Instagram, Facebook etc., the Sri Lankan youth has totally neglected being close to nature and being sensitive towards environmental issues and crimes. Eco-consciousness among most Sri Lankans are visible only when certain environmental crisis comes into a discussion platform or forum. The actual eco-conscious population is either politically silenced or is totally fed up due to the lethargic responses from the responsible parties. Therefore, Eco criticism could be used in order to enhance their eco consciousness.

Authors: Sreekanth S. , Sriram Ch. , Sujan P.
Published: August 2023

Abstract: The threat posed by forest fires to humanity has increased. In addition to giving a lot of living things a place to live and protection, they have also been a significant source of food, wood, and a lot of other goods. Throughout the dawn of time, woods have been integral to social, economic, and religious endeavors and have improved human life in numerous tangible and intangible ways. We must exercise sufficient caution when making decisions that could ultimately result in a tragic outcome if we want to safeguard our environment from these forest fires that are spreading quickly. Thus, we suggest an image identification technique based on convolutional neural networks for the early detection of forest fires (CNN).

Authors: Sousa Erlândio Andrade de , Freires Leogildo Alves , Loureto Gleidson Diego Lopes , Costa Júlio Cezar Albuquerque da
Published: August 2023

O presente estudo teve como objetivo testar, através de equações estruturais, um modelo explicativo da qualidade do sono e da sonolência diurna entre estudantes universitários brasileiros (N = 407). Os participantes responderam ao Índice da Qualidade do Sono de Pittsburgh (PSQI), à Escala de Sonolência de Epworth (ESS-BR), ao Questionário de Saúde Geral (QSG-12), à Escala de Avaliação de Fadiga (EAF), à Escala de Estresse Acadêmico (EEA), ao Questionário sobre Tempo de Uso de Drogas (QTUDR) e às informações demográficas. As análises de correlações bivariadas e regressões múltiplas forneceram elementos para a elaboração de um modelo explicativo que incluíram como variáveis explicativas o desconforto psicológico, o estresse acadêmico e o uso de cafeína, como preditores da qualidade do sono e, esta última juntamente com a fadiga, explicando a sonolência diurna. Este modelo apresentou índices adequados de ajuste aos dados empíricos. É possível concluir que maiores níveis de estresse acadêmico, desconforto psicológico, fadiga e uso de cafeína estão associados a menores índices de qualidade do sono entre estudantes universitários. Os resultados demonstram a relevância de considerar variáveis individuais e contextuais para compreender o ciclo vigília-sono no âmbito acadêmico. Essas variáveis devem ser consideradas em futuros estudos que procurem aplicar e avaliar possíveis programas de intervenção.

Published: August 2023

In spite of being included into receptive skill, reading is no longer considered as a passive activity of learning. It is known that readers should be actively engaged during the reading process in attempt to achieve comprehension. This study sought the impacts of the application of modeled reading in increasing students’ reasoning skill, both verbally and logically. Conducted by following quasi experimental characteristics, this study employed one-group pretest post-test design. There were 23 college students involved as the samples who were given a pretest, teaching treatment, and a post-test. The instruments used were two types of test: verbal reasoning test and logical reasoning test. Each set consists of 10 questions. During the data collection or test, the students were given 25 minutes to answer each set, for both the pretest and the posttest. Later, the data were analyzed using normality test and t-test to see if there is any significance increase after the treatment. The results unveil that both skills enhance after the treatment with modeled reading. First, students’ ability in verbal reasoning ability increases from 34.7 to 77 and logical reasoning ability increases from 65 to 83.4 in average. In conclusion, applying modeled reading can expand students’ cognitive ability in sharpening their verbal and logical reasoning which are beneficial during their learning, especially in reading comprehension.

هذا البحث المتواضع يتكلم عن إحدى الظواهر الأسلوبية المستخدمة في القرآن الكريم، ألا وهو التكرار على مستوى المعنى في قصة سينا نوح - عليه السلام-، حيث إن التكرار جاء على مستوى اللفظ والمعنى، ومستوى اللفظ دون المعنى، ومستوى المعنى دون اللفظ. واما مشكلة هذا البحث فهو كيف التكرار على مستوى المعنى في قصة سينا نوح - عليه السلام-؟ ويهدف هذا البحث إلى الكشف عن معرفة كيفية التكرار على مستوى المعنى في قصة سينا نوح - عليه السلام-. وأما المنهج الذي سيعتمد عليه الباحث، فهو المنهج الوصفي التحليلي الذي يقوم بوصف ظاهرة التكرار في هذه القصة، ومحاولة تفسيرها. وفي الخاتمة يعرض الباحث ما انتهى إليه من نتائج.

من نتائج هذا البحث ما يلي:

التكرار ينقسم إلى ثلاثة أنواع :تكرار اللفظ والمعنى، وتكرار المعنى دون اللفظ، وتكرار اللفظ دون المعنى.

اتفقت هذه القصص جميعا في سورة الأعراف وهود ونوح والمؤمنون على المبدأ الأول، وهو أن الله - تعالى - أرسل نوحا - عليه السلام- إلى قومه، غير أن هناك شيئا من الاختلاف في طريق العرض.

اختلف قوم نوح –عليه السلام- في الإعراض عليه من: نسبة نبيهم نوح –عليه السلام- إلى الضلال في المسائل التي دعا إليها، وعدم الاعتراف برسالته، واتهامهم بأنه مساو لسائر الناس وحب الرئاسة وسؤالهم إنزال الملائكة واتهموه بأنه مجنون.

في نهاية القصة أخبرنا سبحانه وتعالى بإهلاكهم بالغرق، ونجاة نوح - عليه السلام - ومن معه من المؤمنين.

Published: August 2023

La presente cartilla es una propuesta didáctica que tiene como fin acercar al lector al Darién caribe colombiano desde una perspectiva histórica y arqueológica, a través de un viaje por tres ejes temáticos. En el primero se aborda el pasado de las comunidades que habitaban este lugar antes del contacto con los europeos; en el segundo, se habla sobre la fundación de la ciudad de Santa María de La Antigua del Darién y sus implicaciones en los ámbitos cultural, arquitectónico y habitacional; en el tercero, para llegar a las más recientes ocupaciones y poblaciones en esta región, se hace énfasis en el corregimiento de Gilgal, un pueblo fundado en la década de 1960 por unas cuantas familias, en su mayoría provenientes de los departamentos de Córdoba y Sucre, en la Costa Atlántica Colombiana, quienes buscaban nuevas tierras para vivir como consecuencia de la alta concentración que se presentaba en sus lugares de origen. Después de ocupar el territorio, comenzaron a organizarse, orientados por la cooperación, la solidaridad y el trabajo comunitario, lo que dio lugar a la creación de una cooperativa integral y a un proyecto educativo en el seno de esta, que recibió el nombre de Instituto Cooperativo Regional Alcides Fernández. Esta cartilla es el resultado de un trabajo colectivo entre el Parque Arqueológico e Histórico Santa María de la Antigua del Darién, las diversas comunidades aledañas y profesionales en las áreas de la educación y las ciencias sociales. La recolección de información se hizo a partir de memorias individuales y colectivas, historias locales, archivos fotográficos de la comunidad y una revisión de prensa. Esperamos que sea un aporte útil y funcional para el público en general que desee aproximarse a la historia del poblamiento y la ocupación de esta extraordinaria región.

Authors: Risnawati Erna , Alriyanti Hanifah , Tanjung Khoiriyah Shoffiyah
Published: August 2023

Previous research has shown that this process of social adaptation is related to the process of parenting and its relationship with parents. In parenting, of course, there is not only the role of the mother but there is the role of the father who participates in the parenting process. This study aims to determine the role of father involvement in teen girls' adjustment. The study used quantitative methods with purposive sampling technique methods. The participants were 145 female adolescents, aged 12-15 years, who had fathers living together. The instruments used in this study are the scale of social adjustment compiled from the theory of Schneiders and the scale of Father involvement, from Risnawati, Fihadinata, and Wardhni. Data analysis using simple regression. The results showed that there was a relationship between Father Involvement and Social Adjustment in teen girls with R = 0.240, p (0.000) <(0.05), which showed that father involvement played a role of 24% in the social adjustment of teen girls. This research presents a new paradigm that fathers have a significant role in the social development of adolescents, especially teen girls.
Legal adaptation and governance of constitutional declarations during transitional periods
Authors: Zakaria Aliaa , Afify Ayman Mohamed , Kandeel Moustafa Elmetwaly
Published: August 2023

Egypt has gone through many transitional periods over the past 100 years, during which time multiple constitutional declarations have been made. In this paper, the authors focused on the legal adaptation of constitutional declarations during transitional periods that can pose particular challenges as these periods are often characterized by political instability, uncertainty, and lack of an established legal framework. However, to ensure that the principles of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law are upheld, there is a need to ensure that the constitutional declaration is adopted and effectively implemented during the transition period. However, the authors used a historical-analytical approach to address the question of governance of constitutional declarations during Egypt’s transitional period (Saleh, 2020). The relevance of this paper includes drafting and adopting a new or revised constitutional declaration that reflects the changing political landscape and the aspirations of the people, ensuring that the principles of democracy and the rule of law are upheld during the transitional period (Elsaadani, 2020). The main findings of the paper are establishing clear and defined constitutional rules and procedures for constitutional declarations and ensuring compliance with these rules.

Authors: Hurtado Cristancho Jose Luis , González Santamaría Jhonatan , García Cardona Hernán Mauricio , Rodríguez Maya Danny Steven
Published: August 2023

La baja práctica de actividad física ha traído consigo un incremento en los niveles de sobrepeso y obesidad en edad infantil y en adolescentes, situación que evidencia un problema grave de salud pública, dada la relación que se ha demostrado entre la obesidad y el riesgo de enfermedades cardiometabólicas. Es por esta razón que entendiendo este contexto que sitúa a la población en edad escolar como un foco prioritario de atención en materia de salud pública y en perspectiva de lograr un desarrollo integral basado en las capacidades del niño y adolescente de agenciar sus propias conductas, este panorama hace necesario diseñar procesos de intervención que desde el contexto educativo, generen espacios que faciliten la adquisición de comportamientos, prácticas y conocimientos que promuevan unos estilos de vida más saludables desde el uso del deporte, la recreación y la actividad física como herramientas de cambio y desarrollo de capacidades. Desde esta perspectiva, la presente obra muestra evidencia importante acerca de la practicas que en materia de deporte y actividad física realizan los escolares en Pereira, al igual que refleja datos de interés que desde la visión de directivos, docentes, acudientes y estudiantes, muestran el estado actual de los procesos que a nivel extraescolar se dan para la promoción del deporte y la actividad física.

Authors: Hammad Mahmoud M. , Banat Sajeda , Baker Qanita Bani , Al-refai Mohammed , Abudhais Baraa
Published: August 2023

Cloud computing technology significantly emerged in various systems to
enhance the platform and infrastructure of services. Fog and Edge
computing technologies transform computing power and processing close to
the end-user and resolve many data processing challenges. Healthcare IoT
systems refer to using medical sensors and mobile computing to manage
patients’ conditions and use cloud-based technologies to transfer
collected patients’ data to the cloud computing storage. Many previous
research efforts focused on the use of edge, fog, and cloud computing
technologies in the field of healthcare IoT systems. However, no
previous research study summarized the main research topics and trends
in these research efforts. To that end, we conducted a systematic and
comprehensive empirical research study to understand the main research
topics and the employed computing technologies and trends in these
research topics. This study investigated 100 research studies focusing
on cloud-based technologies in the filed of healthcare IoT systems
published in highly reputable venues over the past decade. We created a
taxonomy of the main research topics of the investigated research
manuscripts and reported the main focus of these research efforts and
the trends in this field. Our investigation concluded that the
researchers mainly focused on the following five research topics: big
data, security, network latency, energy efficiency, and QoS. However,
some research topics are well studied while others are poorly
investigated and need more attention. We found that the highest number
of research papers focused on big data, i.e., 63% of the studied
papers, while the energy efficiency topic had the lowest number of
papers, i.e., 17% of the papers. Researchers and practitioners
interested in the cloud-based healthcare IoT systems can use our
findings to gear their work on the areas that are poorly investigated to
find better solutions.
Unbalanced Magnetic Pull in Angular Eccentricity Magnetic Screw
Authors: liu zhengmeng , Chen Qian , Zhou Huawei , Liu Gohai
Published: August 2023

This paper investigates the unbalanced magnetic force(UMF) produced by
angular eccentricity in magnetic screw. The principle of eccentricity is
briefly outlined and an analytical expression that can be used to
predict UMF of a magnetic screw is established. A 3D magnetic screw
model with helically magnetized PMs has been built and simulated in
ANSYS Maxwell with different angular eccentricities. Comparing the FE
simulation and analytical calculation results, there is a certain
difference in the UMF of the magnetic screw, which is also caused by the
asymmetry of the magnetic screw structure. It has been shown that
compared to the linear tubular PM motor with the same thrust force
capability, the magnetic screw has a much small UMF, which greatly
simplifies the mechanical design of the magnetic screw.

Published: August 2023

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has become an essential
bio-detection technique. Due to its high sensitivity, good signal
specificity, and resistance to photobleaching, SERS has been widely used
in biomedical research fields such as molecular imaging, tumor
diagnosis, and drug monitoring. This review focuses on the progress of
SERS in biomedical applications. We first introduce the basic principle
of SERS and the progress of substrate research. Then we summarize the
latest research progress of SERS in drug monitoring, cell and exosome
detection, tumor imaging, and detection platforms combining microfluidic
and lateral flow technologies. Subsequently, the applied research of
SERS in early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and drug efficacy
monitoring is described. Finally, the future development direction and
possible challenges of SERS in tumor diagnosis and treatment are
proposed.
An introductory review of the thermal structure of subduction zones: II. Numerical approach and validation
Authors: Wilson Cian R , Keken Peter E van
Published: August 2023

The thermal structure of subduction zones is fundamental to our understanding of the physical and chemical processes that occur at active convergent plate margins. These include magma generation and related arc volcanism, shallow and deep seismicity, and metamorphic reactions that can release fluids. Computational models can predict the thermal structure to great numerical precision when models are fully described but this does not guarantee accuracy or applicability. In a trio of companion papers the construction of thermal subduction zone models, their use in subduction zone studies, and their link to geophysical and geochemical observations is explored. In this part II the finite element techniques that can be used to predict thermal structure are discussed in an introductory fashion along with their verification and validation.

Published: August 2023

The clinical utility of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the
perioperative period has increased remarkably in the past decade. TEE
made the life of perioperative physicians easier by playing a key role
in the decision-making process, helping in clinical and surgical
management, and improving patient outcomes.[1](#ref-0001) Although
there are published guidelines[2](#ref-0002) on the process of
cleaning and disinfection of the TEE probes, we intend to highlight the
importance of educating the personnel involved in taking care of the
equipment to prevent damage to the TEE probes
Laplace Law Controls Pregnancy Intervals, Circadian Timers, and Mode of Delivery Through Exponential Uterine Wall Tension and Hormonal Milieu: A Hypothesis 1
Authors: Hegazy Ali
Published: August 2023

Background Despite a considerable body of literature gathered
from the few species that have been studied, the mechanisms responsible
for the maintenance of pregnancy and the initiation of parturition have
not been fully elucidated. Failure to understand uterine function during
pregnancy is a major shortcoming in healthcare. Objective To
support the hypothesis. Study Design This study investigated
the current evidence-based literature and research that may support the
hypothesis, accompanied by 40-second 3D animations. Results The
isthmus of the cervix does not seem to exist embryologically,
anatomically, histologically, or functionally. The isthmus of the cervix
may be a flaw in the concept of human parturition, which creates a block
barrier that prevents understanding of uterine function.
Mechanotransduction is the process by which cells sense physical forces
and translate them into biochemical and biological responses. Uterine
mechanotransduction has functional and molecular components, wherein
intrinsic myometrial cell character (IMCC) is the molecular component
and Exponential uterine wall tension (EUWT) is the functional component.
IMCC enables the uterus to control its functions autonomically and
intrinsically, secondary to changes in tension, where high tension
induces relaxation and low tension induces contraction. EUWT is created
and maintained by a complex interaction between the gestational sac,
uterus, and cervix, for which the primary function is to maintain EUWT.
EUWT mechano-transduction and progesterone/estrogen induce the
stretch-dependent inhibitory system, and indirectly, they also induce
the stimulatory system by inducing myometrial hyperplasia and
hypertrophy. Pregnancy is mainly maintained through a stretch-dependent
inhibitory system, in addition to direct myometrial relaxants.
Contractions of the stimulatory system in the presence of the foetus
create direct and indirect uterine-cervical interactions (DIDUCI).
DIDUCI transforms the cervix into the lower uterine segment through TYVU
pattern formation and causes EUWT failure. So, the functional components
of the stimulatory system (DIDUCI) are the uterus corpus, fetus, cervix,
and bony pelvic inlet. Conclusion Pregnancy is a state of
balance between the two opposing and interactive inhibitory and
stimulatory systems secondary to EUWT mechanotransduction and
progesterone/estrogen stimulation. EUWT is measured using Laplace’s law,
which might be the law of physics that controls uterine function during
pregnancy.
Laplace Law Controls Pregnancy Intervals, Circadian Timers, and Mode of Delivery Through Exponential Uterine Wall Tension and Hormonal Milieu: A Hypothesis 2
Authors: Hegazy Ali
Published: August 2023

Background Spontaneous preterm birth is the leading global
cause of neonatal death, and countless efforts have failed to establish
a single effective treatment for preterm labor, partly because the
mechanisms that regulate the uterus and the cervix during pregnancy are
not well understood. When a post-term pregnancy truly exists, its cause
is mostly unknown. Objective To support the hypothesis.
Study Design: This study investigated the current
evidence-based literature and research that may support the hypothesis,
accompanied by 40-second 3D animations. Results Light-dark
cycle modulation of interactive inhibitory and stimulatory systems
divides gestation into five clinical phases: growth, maturation,
transition, parturition, and involution. During the maturation phase
(30–40 weeks), nocturnal synchronisation and synergy of the inhibitory
and stimulatory systems, secondary to light-dark cycle modulation, make
the cervix progressively transform into the lower uterine segment and
lose its strength, eventually causing EUWT failure. The clock that
measures the duration of pregnancy consists of two interacting timers,
an interval timer measuring the overall length of gestation and a
circadian timer that defines when a 24-hour cycle birth occurs.
Pregnancy intervals and circadian timers are achieved by a single
mechanism, namely EUWT failure, secondary to the complete loss of
cervical strength nocturnally. Inhibitory system malfunction causes
preterm labor, and most of the current therapeutic modalities for
preterm labor focus on delaying or preventing EUWT failure. Stimulatory
system malfunctions cause post-term pregnancy. Conclusion The
creation, autonomic maintenance, and eventually autonomic EUWT
termination make pregnancy an autonomic cycle with constant intervals
and circadian timers where its malfunctions change the timing of birth
and pregnancy duration. Laplace’s law measures EUWT, which might be the
law of physics that controls pregnancy duration.

The successful handing over of power from the military oligarchy to a neophyte political class and the consequent returned of the nation to civil rule on May 29, 1999 has shifted attention to how to nurture the fledging democracy to maturity such that it can no longer be truncated either by internal or external forces. The stability of the nation has become the concern of all both the government and the governed. Pro democracy groups, human rights groups, civil societies and others have been greatly involved in the democratic consolidation in Nigeria. In spite of the above not much seems to have been achieved in the area of national security. The issue of national security has become a subject of debate and a serious concern to all and sundry. This is due to the various security challenges facing the country. This paper, therefore looked at unemployment as one of the major challenges to national security. The use of content analysis of secondary sources from published books, journals, official documents, newspapers and magazines was employed in this work. Maslow Human Hierarchy of Needs theory was also used to illuminate the study. It was gathered that, of numerous factors responsible for the uncontrollable rate of insecurity in the nation, unemployment is noted to be at forefront since many youths who are capable and willing to work are affected by this menace. The paper finally recommended that for the problem of insecurity to be abated, the economy of the nation should be diversified as the total dependence on crude oil receipt has done havoc to the productive sectors of Nigerian economy. The government should set up a contingency fund for agricultural and industrial development, as urgent preliminary initiative. Furthermore, the paper recommended the need for collaborative arrangement between the public and private sectors and that the educational sector should be developed through adequate funding to a stage where job seekers and graduates can stand on their own without looking for white collar jobs that are not available.

Objective

To study the interaction between HLA genotype, early probiotic exposure, and timing of complementary foods in relation to risk of islet autoimmunity (IA).

Research design and methods

The TEDDY study prospectively follows 8,676 children with increased genetic risk of type 1 diabetes. We used Cox regression model adjusting for potential confounders to study early feeding and the risk of IA in a sample of 7,770 children

Results

Any solid food introduced early (<6 months) was associated with increased risk of IA if the child had the HLA DR3/4 genotype and no probiotic exposure during the first year of life. Rice introduced at 4-5.9 months compared to later in the U.S. was associated with increased risk of IA.

Conclusions

Timing of solid food introduction, including rice, may be associated with IA in HLA DR3/4 children not exposed to probiotics. The microbiome composition under these exposure combinations requires further study.

Background and purpose: Antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) and systemic antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP) have been used to reduce periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) rates. We investigated the use of ALBC and SAP in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Patients and methods: This observational study is based on 2,971,357 primary TKAs reported in 2010–2020 to national/regional joint arthroplasty registries in Australia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Romania, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, and the USA. Aggregate-level data on trends and types of bone cement, antibiotic agents, and doses and duration of SAP used was extracted from participating registries.Results: ALBC was used in 77% of the TKAs with variation ranging from 100% in Norway to 31% in the USA. Palacos R+G was the most common (62%) ALBC type used. The primary antibiotic used in ALBC was gentamicin (94%). Use of ALBC in combination with SAP was common practice (77%). Cefazolin was the most common (32%) SAP agent. The doses and duration of SAP used varied from one single preoperative dosage as standard practice in Bolzano, Italy (98%) to 1-day 4 doses in Norway (83% of the 40,709 TKAs reported to the Norwegian arthroplasty register).Conclusion: The proportion of ALBC usage in primary TKA varies internationally, with gentamicin being the most common antibiotic. ALBC in combination with SAP was common practice, with cefazolin the most common SAP agent. The type of ALBC and type, dose, and duration of SAP varied among participating countries.
El contexto de la promoción a director en escuelas primarias: reformas educativas 2013 y 2019 en México
Authors: Marcos Cayetano Juan Antonio , Martínez Garduño Yenit
Published: August 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar las condiciones requeridas para la promoción a funciones de dirección en educación primaria, por lo que se planteó la siguiente pregunta: ¿cuáles son las diferencias o similitudes en las reformas educativas 2013 y 2019 en México para lograr la promoción a director en escuelas primarias? Para hallar respuestas a esta interrogante se revisaron documentos que regulan el servicio profesional docente en la educación básica, es decir, la Ley General del Servicio Profesional Docente (2013) y la Ley General del Sistema para la carrera de las Maestras y Maestros (2019), de las cuales se derivan las convocatorias para la promoción a la función directiva analizadas en la metodología de trabajo.

En concreto, en la reforma 2013 se identificó un esquema similar descrito en 16 bases para acceder a la función directiva, mientras que en la reforma 2019 se anexaron los elementos denominados multifactoriales, es decir, antigüedad, trabajo en zonas marginadas y estudios de posgrado. La formalización de la función directiva en 2013 iniciaba con un nombramiento provisional y un periodo de inducción de dos años para acceder al nombramiento definitivo; en cambio, en la reforma 2019 se asigna un nombramiento definitivo al cumplir con los multifactoriales y 6 meses y un día en la función; además, no existe un proceso de capacitación sistemática o acompañamiento a la función, hasta la convocatoria 2022-2023, cuando se considera como requisito un curso en línea de habilidades directivas.

In this paper, we propose a mathematical model of COVID-19 infection, taking into account the division of the population according to vaccination criteria. Our goal is to demonstrate the positive effect of receiving the third dose of the Corona vaccine. We proposed two strategies to limit the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic respectively awareness programs on the importance of the third dose of the vaccine and the delivery of treatment to infected individuals who have health problems. Pontryagin's maximum principle is applied in order to characterize the optimal controls, and the optimality system is resolved using an iterative approach. At last, numerical simulations are executed to verify the theoretical analysis using MATLAB.
