Teachers have a big role in developing and improving students' mathematical logical intelligence skills. However, teachers only focus on using package books in teaching in the classroom. As a result, students do not show a great attitude of enthusiasm, students struggle and are unable to think logically, creatively and innovatively in developing skills when doing math problems. Therefore, researchers are interested in creating a pocket book based on Mathematical Puzzles (TTM) class XI. This study aims to determine the feasibility, practicality and effectiveness of the pocketbook. This research is a research and development or R&D with a 4-D to 3-D model. The results of this study are the calculation value of V Aiken on the validation data of material experts of 0.903 and media experts of 0.8 are classified as feasible to use. Then the results of the calculation of V Aiken student response data of 0.932 and teacher response data of 0.894 are classified as very practical to use during learning. While the calculation of the t-Paired test in the pretest and posttest results obtained the value ,t-count.=6.1807, there is an increase in the mathematical logical intelligence of students so that the book is categorized as very effective. It can be concluded that the pocketbook based on class XI mathematical puzzles can improve the mathematical logical intelligence ability of class XI students.

Authors: Siahaan Meiva Marthaulina Lestari , Fitriani Fitriani , Manek Prudensius
Published: March 2023

The background of this research is the learning obstacles that arise on the topic of determining the solution of a system of linear equations (SLE) in applying elementary row operations (ERO). From these findings, it is necessary to formulate a hypothetical learning trajectory (HLT) that can guide the flow of thinking in designing didactic situations in the learning process. HLT expect to anticipate learning obstacles (LO) that arise. This research is a preliminary design of a series of didactical design research. The steps taken in compiling the HLT are 1) reviewing the lesson plan, the methods used to convey the material to determine SST solutions, and the textbooks used; 2) reviewing students' thinking processes conceptually and procedurally regarding theoretically determining SLE solutions; 3) reviewing design plans didactic. HLT is formulated into five types of student responses. It integrates into didactic situations by explaining the relevance of the elimination method in high school with three operations on ERO and then by explaining matrix material before SPL material. From this didactic situation, it can be formulated in teaching material that can accommodate emerging LO.
Protein Structure Prediction with AlphaFold2, How it Works, Limitations and Solution for Less number of Homotypic and Large number of Heterotypic Contacts
Authors: Kaleem Hassan , Khalid Muhammad Noman
Published: March 2023

Knowing the protein structure helps us to investigate diseases in human beings related to abnormal or impaired folded proteins. This research provides a solution for how to identify the misbalance of homotypic and heterotypic contacts on the sequential stage. There are two methods of protein structure prediction, template based and Ab-initio models. Template based model matches the given sequence with the original sequence. Whereas, Ab-initio calculates the weight of the given sequence and identifies whether it is balanced or not. If the sequence is not in balance, it can be labeled as on the initial stage by calculating its weight. In this research, future directions to researchers are provided as how to achieve maximum accuracy in protein structure prediction.

Background: According to the hypothesis, COVID-19 is less prevalent in regions with warm climates. Contradictory results have led us to investigate the correlation between temperature and the cumulative COVID-19 incidence rate. Methods: We obtained COVID-19 data from CRONALAB, COVID-DASHBOARD, and MCMC databases of Fars Province, Iran, linked the data and finalized daily COVID-19 cases. The daily data on the temperature was gotten from meteorological stations’ reports from March 21, 2020, to March 21, 2021, for each county of Fars Province, Southern Iran. The daily weighted cumulative incidence rate of COVID-19 cases was calculated for all counties, separately. Initially, for uniform data visualization, the average air temperature data were transformed into ranked percentiles. Then, to visually assess the study hypothesis, the distribution of COVID-19 cumulative incidence was visualized on percentiles of temperature. Given the non-linear distribution of the data, we performed exploratory analyses using the generalized additive models and locally weighted (polynomial) regressions to choose the best response function. Then, the generalized linear models were used to parametrically build the model. Results: The generalized additive models showed a small decreasing, near horizontal, linear pattern for COVID-19 incidence rate as the function of temperature (pseudo R2: 0.001, deviance explained: 0.13%, coefficient: -0.02). The GLMs showed head-to-head results (deviance explained: 0.13%, coefficient: -0.02], supported by similar Akaike information criteria (AICs) (34945). However, according to the locally weighted regressions model’s curve, lower COVID-19 incidence rates were recorded on days when the temperatures ranged from 60 to 80 percentiles, equal to 20°C to 25°C in a cold climate and 25°C to 35°C in a warm climate. This is while the rates increased at lower and upper temperatures. Conclusion: Daily COVID-19 incidence rate cannot be explained as a function of daily temperature in Southern parts of Iran. Higher rates of disease transmission out of the range of 20°C to 25°C for cold temperatures and 25°C to 35°C for warm climates might be linked to people’s indoor gatherings, coupled with insufficient ventilation.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted society and students from various generations. Generations are a group of people who have the same age, traits, and experiences. Not all generations can overcome the impact of the pandemic on themselves, which is the cause of various problems in each generation, influencing on eating habits, behaviors, and stress. Generations Z and Y have reacted greatly to the COVID-19 pandemic. Generation Z is instantaneous, sophisticated, and adaptable to the digital world, while Generation Y is a transitional generation between conventional and digital. The latter is more patient in facing challenges. This study analyzes the differences in eating habits, stress, and lifestyle because of the COVID-19 pandemic in these two generations. Methods: This research was conducted on Indonesian students, divided into groups in terms of Generations Z and Y with a cross-sectional design. The research data was collected online from 237 Indonesian students in April 2021. We used the snowball method for sampling. The analysis of differences was carried out using the independent t-test. Results: The results showed differences in changes in eating habits and stress between the two generations (P<0.05). Generation Y experienced more changes in eating habits compared to generation Z during the pandemic. Additionally, generation Z experienced more stress compared to Generation Y. For weight changes, no difference was observed between the two generations. Each generation experienced weight changes, but it was not significant. Conclusion: Generation Y can better control stress because of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to generation Z. However, with changes in eating habits, generation Y has experienced more changes. Both generations experienced an increase in body weight. There needs to be education and motivation for various generations to face the new normal to not get easily stressed, which can result in changes in eating habits and weight.
Fragmentation as a Way of Representing a Person in T. Morrison's Novel “Beloved”
Authors: Breitling M. S.
Published: March 2023

Introduction. The purpose of this article is to study the method of human fragmentation through consideration of the bodily metaphors used by the author, as well as the construction of key models of metaphorical transfers based on the material of the novel “Beloved" by T. Morrison. The scientific novelty of the study is determined by the fact that up to now no attempts have been made to conduct a cognitive-semantic study of bodily metaphors in T. Morrison's novel "Beloved". The relevance of the study causes an increase in the interest of linguists in the study of metaphors in a literary text within the framework of semantic and cognitive approaches.

Methodology and sources. The article provides a semantic-cognitive analysis of bodily metaphors, highlights the key denotations of the target domain and the source domain of the metaphoric mapping. A connection is revealed between the nature of metaphors and the main theme of the work – the theme of slavery and its destructive influence on human life.

Results and discussion. Among the denotations of the target domain, 7 key elements were found involved in creating models of bodily metaphors: eyes, head, heart, back, hands, fingers, skin. Based on the data obtained, 26 metaphorical models were built. The target domain of the eye (6), back (5) and skin (5) has the largest number of denotations of the source domain.

Conclusion. The study showed that bodily metaphors are actively used by the author when describing a person. The method of fragmentation helps to reveal the features of the destructive impact of slavery on a person's personality. Replacing a holistic representation of a person with a fragmented one, T. Morrison singles out in the appearance of each of the characters acting in the novel those fragments of the body that most characterize the personality and fate of each of them, and through metaphorization endows these fragments with a special symbolic meaning.
METHODS OF INCREASING THE ACCURACY OF MEASUREMENT WITH A SCANNING PROBE MICROSCOPE DEPENDING ON THE GEOMETRY OF THE PROBE
Authors:   National Aviation University, Kataieva M. O. , Kvashuk D. M. ,   National Aviation University
Published: March 2023

The article analyzes the influence of different types of probe geometry of a scanning probe microscope (SPM) on the features of measuring the surface topography of a nano-object. Based on the analysis, it was determined that the main drawback inherent in all modes of scanning probe microscopy is the finite size of the measuring probe tip, which cannot reach certain areas of the measuring surface during scanning, which is caused by the geometric characteristics of the probe shape. This leads to a significant deterioration of the spatial resolution and significant distortions in the SPM images when scanning surfaces with large unevenness of the ratio between the typical vertical and horizontal dimensions. Based on the conducted research, the methods of restoration of SPM images are proposed, which are built on mathematical and computer processing of SPM data, which takes into account the specific shape of the probe tip and allows improving the metrological characteristics of the measurement information. It is proved that the SPM image and the experimentally obtained shape of the tip are two-dimensional arrays of discrete values, for which the derivative is an incorrectly determined value. It is recommended that instead of deriving discrete functions during the numerical deconvolution of SPM images, during scanning with a constant average height, use the requirement for the minimum distance of the tip to the surface. It has been proven that the most effective way of digital correction of the surface topography is numerical deconvolution using the tip image obtained experimentally by scanning test structures with a well-known topography and subsequent computer processing of the data. A method of partial restoration of the topography is proposed, which is characterized by flexibility to the set metrological tasks and is aimed at increasing the speed of computing operations while ensuring the necessary accuracy of measurement information.
ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ ЕКОНОМІЧНОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ ГРОМАДЯНИНА В УМОВАХ ВОЄННОГО СТАНУ: ПРАВОВИЙ АСПЕКТ
Authors: КАПЛЯ Олександр
Published: March 2023

Проблема забезпечення економічної безпеки громадянського суспільства в мирний час суттєво відрізняється умов воєнного стану. Тому окремі аспекти адміністративно-правового врегулювання, стосовно необхідних потреб громадян у забезпеченні їх власної економічної безпеки слід переглянути, оскільки в першу чергу, мають бути забезпечені економічні інтереси держави. Метою статті є висвітлення ролі економічної безпеки громадян під час дії воєнного стану у порівнянні із мирним часом. А також дослідження правової сутності цього поняття, нормативних структур в яких воно розглядається та можливостей, правового визначення, як окремої юридичної категорії. Реалізація поставленої мети передбачає вирішення низки завдань, як-от: 1) визначення основних нормативно-правових положень, що регламентують діяльність органів виконавчої влади спрямовані на дотримання законодавчих норм пов’язаних із захистом громадян від непрогнозованих загроз та ризиків економічного характеру; 2) дослідження окремих ризиків економічної безпеки громадян, які пов’язані із зменшенням доходів під час дії воєнного стану; 3) аналіз характеристик поняття «економічна безпека громадянина» в системі забезпечення економічної безпеки держави, а також вивчення дії окремих загроз, пов’язаних із нормативним регулюванням безпекової діяльності держави, як суб’єкта забезпечення безпеки громадян; 4) проведення дослідження окремих механізмів державного регулювання рівня економічної безпеки громадян під час дії військового стану. Наукова новизна. У статті вперше розглядається економічна безпека громадянина, як складова забезпечення безпеки держави в умовах воєнного стану. Як висновок, представлено економічну безпеку громадян, як загальну категорію, що ні нормативно, ні теоретично не врегульована. Проте, основні конституційні норми передбачають її існування. Запропоновано теоретичну конструкцію поняття економної безпеки громадянина, як індикатору, який характеризує стан економічного розвитку країни. Встановлено, що в умовах воєнного стану, економічна безпека окремих громадян не може розглядатися взагалі окремо, оскільки в такому випадку увесь економічний потенціал має інтегруватися в систему економічної безпеки держави.

Employee motivation is "a science" whose role has proven, over time, to be a very important one. Sometimes recruiting employees is easy, but keeping them more difficult. Keeping employees in the company, creating with their help competitive products on the market, keeping the company in the top, depend to a great extent on how the employer/manager understands the importance of motivating the subordinate staff and knows that he must search, discover and apply those motivational techniques that are in line with employees' expectations. Why the motivation? Because motivation is an essential element in all fields of activity, especially in the tourism industry, where it is a priority coordinate. Motivation comes from within everyone, from the innermost recesses of the human being and is deeply rooted in the desires and needs of man.

Stunting in Jember Regency is the eighth most common condition in East Java, affecting up to 30% of the 180,000 children under the age of five. The creation of meatballs made from tuna fortified anchovy, which are increasingly rich in nutrients like zinc, will help to overcome nutritional issues. The aim of this research was to look at zinc levels, elasticity, and organoleptic properties. The aim of this study was to look at the zinc levels, elasticity, and organoleptic consistency of tuna fish balls after fortification with anchovy flour and chewers, which could help stunted toddlers improve their nutritional status. This is a true experimental study with a pre and post control group configuration. The sample size was set at 27 (eight samples from the treatment group and one sample from the control group). Zinc levels, elasticity, and organoleptic consistency are all measured in the lab through observation. On zinc levels, ANOVA Two Way was used to analyze data presentation. Zinc levels of 0.001 mg/100 gr and elasticity of 707.38 4.13 gf were found in tuna fish balls until they were reinforced with anchovy flour and chewers. The interaction of zinc content, elasticity, and organoleptic quality of anchovy meal fortification (0, 18%, and 35%) and thickener (carrageenan and STTP) has a major effect on zinc content, elasticity, and organoleptic quality (physical and preferences include taste, aroma, color and texture). The best tuna meatballs in terms of general nutritional content and chewiness are tuna fish balls fortified by 35% anchovy and with carrageenan as thickener. His general favorite is tuna fish balls which are not fortified with anchovy flour and without chewing. Future research is expected to find alternatives to other highly nutritious fish with good acceptance
Implementing change in organisations: key challenges
Authors: Juchniewicz Mateusz , Luba Dorota , Mądel Monika
Published: March 2023

A VUCA world (described with four attributes: volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) and the resulting need to implement changes continuously in almost every area of organisational activity have enhanced the awareness of organisations with regard to searching for skilful managers/leaders of change and building up competencies in change management amongst their staff. At the same time, however, quite a large proportion of changes fail. The paper aims to identify major challenges faced when implementing significant changes in an organisation using two case studies as an example. The first case study concerns a change to the Agile approach in an organisation’s operations, while the second one – the implementation of the Design Thinking concept in the work of project teams. The obtained results have become a starting point for more in-depth studies on change management focused in particular on factors contributing to organisational change success or failure and the role of individual stakeholders in the process.
The urban local centre: from the centrally-planned economy to the capitalist city. The experience of the Ursynów district in Warsaw
Authors: Sadowy Katarzyna
Published: March 2023

The polycentric structure of the city reflects the role of various stakeholders, public and private, in shaping the urban development and life quality. The paper investigates the role of the public and private sector in creation of the local centres in neighbourhoods, hubs concentrating the services and amenities indispensable for modern life. The analysis is based on the case study of the Ursynów district in Warsaw, designed and constructed mainly in the 1980s, but with several infrastructural, housing, and commercial investments realised after 1989. The study encompassed the location of local centres, their functions, and spatial forms. The findings demonstrate that both public and private sectors play intertwined and significant roles for the local centres and create a synergy effect in such areas. The results of the study also show the evolutionary nature of the local centres’ development. The main elements of the design persist, but the market-oriented economy and decentralised democratic institutions allowed them to continue the original plans, while making the local centres more attractive and richer function-wise than it was possible during the centrally-planned period.

Published: March 2023

Innowacyjne przedsiębiorstwa aktywnie kształtują swój portfel innowacji, czyli podejmują decyzje dotyczące alokacji zasobów między różne rodzaje innowacji. Warto jednak zaznaczyć, że znaczący wpływ na owe decyzje mają zmiany w otoczeniu przedsiębiorstw, m.in. takie jak trwająca pandemia wywołana rozprzestrzenianiem się wirusa SARS-CoV-2. Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja zmian w strukturze portfela innowacji dużych przedsiębiorstw w Polsce w wyniku pandemii. Cel ten został zrealizowany poprzez badania empiryczne wśród przedsiębiorstw w Polsce zatrudniających powyżej 250 osób, które w latach 2016–2019 wprowadziły co najmniej jedną innowację. W artykule przeanalizowano innowacje w podziale na innowacje podstawowe, z pogranicza i transformacyjne, a wyniki wskazują, że w strukturze portfela innowacji zbadanych przedsiębiorstw dominuje alokacja zasobów na innowacje z pogranicza; alokacja zasobów w innowacje podstawowe i transformacyjne jest natomiast mniejsza. W wyniku trwającej pandemii nastąpiła zmiana w strukturze portfela zbadanych przedsiębiorstw polegająca na przestawieniu się z innowacji z pogranicza i transformacyjnych na innowacje podstawowe.

Przejście w kierunku stosowania odpowiedzialnych praktyk zarządzania przedsiębiorstwem wymaga zmiany w wielu obszarach funkcjonowania przedsiębiorstwa. Dodatkowym wyzwaniem jest ich realizacja w warunkach zmian działalności przedsiębiorstw wywołanych pandemią COVID-19. Jednym z kierunków działań w tym czasie jest przyjęcie strategii zarządzania uwzględniającej równowagę interesów społecznych, środowiskowych i ekonomicznych. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza praktyk odpowiedzialnego zarządzania podejmowanych przez przedsiębiorstwa w obszarze zarządzania, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem wpływu pandemii wywołanej wirusem SARS-CoV-2. Podstawę do wnioskowania stanowiły wyniki badań przeprowadzonych w sierpniu 2021 r. na próbie badawczej 1007 celowo dobranych małych, średnich i dużych przedsiębiorstw w ramach projektu badawczego pn. „Barometr odpowiedzialnego zarządzania” prowadzonego przez Instytut Zarządzania SGH.
Ład projektowy organizacji

Published: March 2023

Współczesne okoliczności funkcjonowania organizacji, określane jako „świat VUCA”, cechuje niespotykana dotychczas zmienność (ang. volatility), niepewność (ang. uncertainty), złożoność (ang. comlexity) i wieloznaczność (ang. ambiguity). Jedną z odpowiedzi na wyzwania „świata VUCA” jest zjawisko projektyzacji (ang. projectification), czyli wzrostu udziału i znaczenia działalności projektowej organizacji. Wraz z rozwojem ilościowym i jakościowym działalności projektowej organizacji, nastąpił znaczny rozwój różnorodnych instrumentów wspierających zarządzania działalnością projektową: projektami, programami i portfelami projektów. Bogactwo tych instrumentów doprowadziło wprawdzie do wzrostu skuteczności i efektywności działalności projektowej, jednak spowodowało osłabienie spójności organizacyjnej tej działalności i trudności przełożenia jej efektów na sukcesy organizacji. Aby temu przeciwdziałać konieczne staje się jej uporządkowanie w postaci kompletnego i spójnego systemu działania, określanego jako ład projektowy organizacji (ang. project governanace).W artykule przedstawione zostały podstawy, interpretacje i koncepcje ładu projektowego organizacji. Na podstawie ich analizy opracowany został oryginalny, autorski model ładu projektowego organizacji. Model ten składa się z czterech domen: strategicznej (ład strategiczny), metodycznej (ład metodyczny), organizacyjnej (ład organizacyjny) i personalnej (ład personalny). Problemy i rozwiązania poszczególnych domen ładu projektowego zostały omówione w artykule. Na zakończenie opisany został tryb wdrażania ładu projektowego w organizacji.

Authors: Pojda Małgorzata
Published: March 2023

Głównym celem artykułu jest przedstawienie cech charakterystycznych dla branży farmaceutycznej w kontekście projektów wdrożeniowych nowych produktów leczniczych oraz wskazanie w procesie NPD (New Product Development) czynników, które bezpośrednio wpływają na porażki i sukcesy w tychże projektach z uwzględnieniem specyfiki samej branży. Za punkt wyjścia został przyjęty ogólny schemat procesu NPD, na który nałożono cechy charakterystyczne dla branży farmaceutycznej. W efekcie m.in. opisanego powyżej działania powstał schemat występowania kluczowych czynników sukcesów i niepowodzeń na poziomie poszczególnych etapów projektów w branży farmaceutycznej, których uwzględnienie zwiększa szanse na zakończenie projektów sukcesem.

Authors: Ćwik Krzysztof , Lichtarski Janusz Marek
Published: March 2023

Jednym z potencjalnych czynników sukcesu projektów realizowanych we współpracy międzyorganizacyjnej, zidentyfikowanych przez autorów, jest zbieżność metodyk i standardów zarządzania projektami stosowanych przez współpracujące strony. Artykuł ma charakter koncepcyjny a jego celem jest prezentacja koncepcji badań empirycznych, dotyczących wpływu zbieżności wykorzystywanych metodyk na sukces projektu. Przegląd literatury pozwala na sformułowanie hipotezy badawczej, wskazującej, że zbieżność stosowanych przez partnerów projektu metodyk i standardów zarządzania projektami jest istotnym czynnikiem powodzenia wspólnego projektu. Sformułowana hipoteza badawcza będzie testowana w badaniach ankietowych w sektorze IT (n = 320).
Panmunjom as an Escape Route to Freedom during the Cold War: Examining the Cases of Exile from the Communist Camp in the 1980s
Authors:   Korean Association For Political And Diplomatic History, Yang Joon-seok
Published: March 2023

This study analyzes the process and significance of the Czechoslovakian Orszag exile case (1981), the Soviet Union Matuzok exile case (1984), and the Zuo Shiokai exile case (1989) that took place at Panmunjom in the 1980s. As a characteristic shared by the three exile cases, first, the three people from communist countries attempted to escape the communist camp through the experience of détente and free will despite the intensification of the second cold war and chose Panmunjom as the escape route to the United States, their final destination. Second, following the unprecedented escape from the communist camp, an international mechanism for the transfer of refugees was was established through an initial issue that connected the Republic of Korea, the United States, and the United Nations. Third, despite the intense fighting in Panmunjom, the global shifts brought about by the collapse of the bipolar Cold War system, hosting of the Seoul Olympics, and the continuation of inter-Korean dialogue for humanitarian projects and economic exchanges prevented the exile cases from escalating into a serious confrontation. During the Cold War, Panmunjom served as both a place for dialogue and an exit to freedom.

Objective: To investigate the rates of and factors associated with cervical cancer screening overuse and underuse, and the attitude towards human papillomavirus (HPV) self-sampling among hospital staffs.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included female hospital staff undergoing an annual health check-up. A questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic characteristics, indication for cervical cancer screening, reasons for screening decision, and attitude toward HPV self-sampling. Screening overuse was defined as having cervical cancer screening without indication while screening underuse was having indication for screening but not receiving it.

Results: Among the 600 included participants, 220 and 380 women decided to screen and not to screen for cervical cancer, respectively. The prevalence of screening overuse and underuse was 11.8% and 33.0%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed age was associated with screening underuse (aOR: 1.06, 95% CI: 1.04-1.09; p<0.001), whereas married status was associated with screening overuse (aOR: 3.73, 95% CI: 2.05-6.79; p<0.001). The common reasons for screening were “add-on to annual health check-up” (93.2%), “fear of cancer” (84.1%), and “family/organizational support” (54.5%). The common reasons for not screening were “feeling healthy” (73.7%), “fear of pain” (58.7%), and “embarrassment” (57.1%). Most women (65.1%) expressed interest in screening via HPV self-sampling.

Conclusion: Overuse and underuse of cervical cancer screening were common. An accurate information regarding screening indication should be provided and indication restriction should be implemented to a health system to avoid screening overuse. In addition, an encouragement should be enhanced to the target population to attend the screening program.

Published: March 2023

Objective: The prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) in Thai police officers is unknown. This study aims to accurately determine the prevalence of MetS in this population compared to the Thai general population.
Materials and Methods: We conducted a population-based cross-sectional study of 107,933 Thai police officers during the 2012 annual Police Health Care Center check-up. Metabolic syndrome was defined using the harmonized criteria of six international expert groups.
Results: The prevalence of MetS among Thai police officers was 39.24%, with a higher prevalence among males compared to female police officers (40.9% male and 14.3% female).  The prevalence was higher in male police officers (40.65% versus 23.80%, P<0.001), whereas it was lower in female officers (16.30% versus 31.59%, P<0.001) when compared to the general population. High blood pressure was the most common abnormal metabolic component in both genders (male 67.4 % female 33.3%).  Whereas observation of low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) in males (11.6%) and high fasting plasma glucose (FG) in females (16.3%). The adjusted odds ratio for MetS increased with age, wide pulse pressure, male gender, lower rank, alcohol drinking, and being in a non-metropolitan city. 
Conclusion: The prevalence of MetS is higher among Thai police officers compared to the general Thai population. These findings underscore the need for effective preventive measures and continuous monitoring to reduce the risk and burden of cardiovascular diseases.

Published: March 2023

Background and Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the effect of wearing face masks on communication according to hearing levels using a questionnaire.Subjects and Method Individuals who underwent pure-tone audiometry at the otolaryngology department were invited to participate from September to December 2021. Each participant was asked to answer a questionnaire consisting of visual analog scales and open-ended questions about the experience of interactions involving face masks and the impact wearing face masks had on communication regarding listening, speaking and emotional exchange. The items of questionnaires were analyzed according to their hearing levels.Results A total of 119 subjects completed the questionnaire. The mean age of the subjects was 57.13±17.43 and the mean hearing threshold was 39.31±22.52 dB HL. Among them, 15.1% wore hearing aids. Across subjects, from those with the normal hearing level to those with moderate hearing loss, the average scores for subjective listening and speaking difficulty during conversation were significantly higher when individuals were wearing face masks than when they were not (p<0.001). There was no significant difference in scores when asked about difficulty in exchanging emotion while wearing a mask.Conclusion Wearing a face mask might have a negative impact particularly on listening and speaking aspects of communication. There was no statistically significant difference in subjective difficulty scores according to hearing levels.
