Kualitas pendidikan salah satunya dipengaruhi oleh kinerja guru dalam melaksanakan tugas dan tanggung jawabnya, salah satu cermin peningkatan mutu pendidikan di sekolah adalah prestasi guru dalam meningkatkan mutu lulusan yang produktif, dengan semangat kinerja mengajar guru yang tinggi akan menciptakan lulusan dengan kualitas yang berilmu dan berkarakter. Kinerja atau performance dapat diartikan sebagai prestasi kerja, pelaksanaan kerja, pencapaian kerja, hasil kerja atau unjuk kerja .Kinerja adalah perbuatan dan prestasi serta keterampilan yang ditunjukkan oleh seseorang di dalam melakukan perbuatan atau pekerjaan. Kehadiran guru dalam proses pembelajaran di sekolah masih tetap memegang peranan yang penting. Peran tersebut belum dapat diganti dan diambil alih oleh apapun. Hal ini disebabkan karena masih banyak unsur-unsur manusiawi yang tidak dapat diganti oleh unsur lain. Guru merupakan factor yang sangat dominan dan paling penting dalam Pendidikan formal pada umumnya karena bagi siswa, guru sering dijadikan tokoh teladan bahkan menjadi tokoh identifikasi diri. Guru dituntut memiliki kinerja yang mampu memberikan dan merealisasikan harapan dan keinginan semua pihak terutama masyarakat umum yang telah mempercayai sekolah dan guru dalam membina anak didik. Dalam meraih mutu Pendidikan yang baik sangat dipengaruhi oleh kinerja guru dalam melaksanakan tugasnya sehingga kinerja guru menjadi tuntutan penting untuk mencapai keberhasilan Pendidikan. Secara umum mutu Pendidikan yang baik menjadi tolak ukur bagi keberhasilan kinerja yang ditunjukkan guru. Guru professional adalah guru yang memiliki kompetensi utama yaitu kompetensi pedagogic dan kompetensi professional. Mengingat pentingnya peran guru dalam menentukan kualitas Pendidikan, berbagai upaya telah dilakukan dalam rangka meningkatkan kualitas guru baik melalui Pendidikan, pelatihan, pemagangan maupun program lain termasuk sertifikasi. Namun demikian data di lapangan menunjukkan masih banyaknya permasalahan yang dihadapi dalam upaya meningkatkan kualitas guru.

UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION: INCORRECT STATISTICS (15-YEAR-OLD SCHOOLCHILDREN ARE CONSIDERED UNEMPLOYED)
Authors:   State University of Management, ZOTOV VLADIMIR B.
Published: March 2022

This article considers the problem of incorrect accounting of unemployment data in the Russian Federation on the basis of official statistics for 2020–2021. For the assessment, the materials of the official website of the Federal State Statistics Service, as well as data from sociological surveys, are used. According to the results of the study, it is concluded that approaches to accounting for unemployment data in Russia should take into account the real situation in the labor market. In addition, the Rosstat methodology used to account for the able-bodied population is contradictory and incorrect, while accounting for the allegedly working age from 15 years is extremely controversial. Rosstat does not take into account data on official employment among adolescents, and statistics on unofficial employment of children and adolescents remain latent. Incorrect statistics are unacceptable because unemployment rates are the most important basis for the state strategy for the development of the economy and social development

ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT IN THE COMPANIES OF AVIATION INDUSTRY: THE ATTITUDE OF MANAGERIAL AND NON-MANAGERIAL EMPLOYEES
Authors: Dautartas Rokas , Korsakienė Renata
Published: March 2022

The article discusses the challenges and factors influencing organizational commitment which has influence on the staff turnover in aviation organizations. The studies reveal that organizational commitment plays a huge role in a relationship between an individual and organization. If an employee’s organizational commitment is high, it is scientifically proven that his or her intention to change the organization is low. In the Lithuanian aviation sector, the impact of organizational commitment has not yet been assessed in any research. Also, the studies did not yet consider the different groups of aviation employees and the differences in their perceptions of organizational commitment. The aim of this article is to investigate the level of organizational commitment in the Lithuanian aviation sector among employees’ groups and to compare the results with the data from other surveys. The study reveals that organizational commitment is different between managerial and non-managerial staff. These results are useful for a broader analysis, which can be conducted in assessing the impact of organizational commitment between different groups of employees and to propose a model that reduces the difference in organizational commitment between different groups of employees. The observation of organizational commitment level can be made among different groups of employees.
On the Structure and Long-term Evolution of Ice-rich Bodies
Authors: Loveless Stephan , Prialnik Dina , Podolak Morris
Published: March 2022

The interest in the structure of ice-rich planetary bodies, in particular the differentiation between ice and rock, has grown due to the discovery of Kuiper Belt objects and exoplanets. We thus carry out a parameter study for a range of planetary masses M, yielding radii 50 ≲ R ≲ 3000 km, and for rock to ice mass ratios between 0.25 and 4, evolving them for 4.5 Gyr in a cold environment, to obtain the present structure. We use a thermal evolution model that allows for liquid and vapor flow in a porous medium, solving mass and energy conservation equations under hydrostatic equilibrium for a spherical body in orbit around a central star. The model includes the effect of pressure on porosity and on the melting temperature, heating by long-lived radioactive isotopes, and temperature-dependent serpentinization and dehydration. We obtain the boundary in parameter space (size, rock content) between bodies that differentiate, forming a rocky core, and those which remain undifferentiated: small bodies, bodies with a low rock content, and the largest bodies considered, which develop high internal pressures and barely attain the melting temperature. The final differentiated structure comprises a rocky core, an ice-rich mantle, and a thin dense crust below the surface. We obtain and discuss the bulk density–radius relationship. The effect of a very cold environment is investigated, and we find that at an ambient temperature of ∼20 K, small bodies preserve the ice in amorphous form to the present.

We present a detailed stellar population analysis of 11 bright (H < 26.6) galaxies at z = 9–11 (three spectroscopically confirmed) to constrain the chemical enrichment and growth of stellar mass of early galaxies. We use the flexible Bayesian spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting code Prospector with a range of star formation histories (SFHs), a flexible dust attenuation law, and a self-consistent model of emission lines. This approach allows us to assess how different priors affect our results and how well we can break degeneracies between dust attenuation, stellar ages, metallicity, and emission lines using data that probe only the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) to optical wavelengths. We measure a median observed UV spectral slope

), consistent with no change from z = 4 to z = 9–10 at these stellar masses, implying rapid enrichment. Our SED-fitting results are consistent with a star-forming main sequence with sublinear slope (0.7 ± 0.2) and specific star formation rates of 3–10 Gyr−1. However, the stellar ages and SFHs are less well constrained. Using different SFH priors, we cannot distinguish between median mass-weighted ages of ∼ 50–150 Myr, which corresponds to 50% formation redshifts of z
50 ∼ 10–12 at z ∼ 9 and is of the order of the dynamical timescales of these systems. Importantly, models with different SFH priors are able to fit the data equally well. We conclude that the current observational data cannot tightly constrain the mass-buildup timescales of these z = 9–11 galaxies, with our results consistent with SFHs implying both a shallow and steep increase in the cosmic SFR density with time at z > 10.
Galaxy Flows within 8000 km s−1 from Numerical Action Methods
Authors: Shaya Edward J. , Tully R. Brent , Pomarède Daniel , Peel Alan
Published: March 2022

The trajectories since z = 4 of systems of galaxies (“halos”) with cz < 8000 km s−1 are found through numerical action reconstructions. A set of 9719 halos from a Two Micron All Sky Survey group catalog and Cosmicflows-3 catalogs are given attention. Present distances are adjusted to minimize departures from observed redshifts. For those with the most precisely determined distances, compromises are made between distance and redshift agreement. H
0 is varied from 69 to 77 km s−1 Mpc−1, with Ω
m
set by the baryon acoustic oscillation constraint from the Planck satellite. A best-fitting amplitude of the mass-to-light relation is found. A uniform density associated with the interhalo medium accounts for the matter not in halos. The solution paths provide the histories of the formation of the nearby large structures and depict how the voids emptied. Assuming no local over/underdensity, the best model has H
0 = 73 km s−1 Mpc−1, with nearly the same density arising from interhalo matter (IHM) as from halos. We examine local over/underdensities by varying the IHM density and find a valley of best-fit models along H
0 = 73.0(1 + 0.165δ) km s−1 Mpc−1. Friedmann models with distinct densities internal and external to the study region give a similar relationship. The fraction of matter in the IHM seen in n-body simulations roughly matches that in our H
0 = 72 scenario. Videos have been created to visualize the complexities of formation of large-scale structures. Standard n-body calculations, starting from the first time steps as tests of the numerical action method solutions and continuing until cosmic scale factor a = 2, provide glimpses into the future.
The Case for Technosignatures: Why They May Be Abundant, Long-lived, Highly Detectable, and Unambiguous
Authors: Wright Jason T. , Haqq-Misra Jacob , Frank Adam , Kopparapu Ravi , Lingam Manasvi , Sheikh Sofia Z.
Published: March 2022

The intuition suggested by the Drake equation implies that technology should be less prevalent than biology in the galaxy. However, it has been appreciated for decades in the SETI community that technosignatures could be more abundant, longer-lived, more detectable, and less ambiguous than biosignatures. We collect the arguments for and against technosignatures’ ubiquity and discuss the implications of some properties of technological life that fundamentally differ from nontechnological life in the context of modern astrobiology: It can spread among the stars to many sites, it can be more easily detected at large distances, and it can produce signs that are unambiguously technological. As an illustration in terms of the Drake equation, we consider two Drake-like equations, for technosignatures (calculating N(tech)) and biosignatures (calculating N(bio)). We argue that Earth and humanity may be poor guides to the longevity term L and that its maximum value could be very large, in that technology can outlive its creators and even its host star. We conclude that while the Drake equation implies that N(bio) ≫ N(tech), it is also plausible that N(tech) ≫ N(bio). As a consequence, as we seek possible indicators of extraterrestrial life, for instance, via characterization of the atmospheres of habitable exoplanets, we should search for both biosignatures and technosignatures. This exercise also illustrates ways in which biosignature and technosignature searches can complement and supplement each other and how methods of technosignature search, including old ideas from SETI, can inform the search for biosignatures and life generally.

Ground-based planetary radar observations first revealed deposits of potentially nearly pure water ice in some permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) on Mercury’s poles. Later, the MESSENGER spacecraft confirmed the icy nature of the deposits, as well as their location within PSRs. Considering the geologic context provided by MESSENGER, we further characterized the north polar deposits by pairing spacecraft data with new Arecibo S-band radar observations. Here we show that some ice deposits within PSRs have a gradational pattern in their radar properties that is likely associated with differences in ice purity. Radar-bright features with a circular polarization ratio μ

c
> 1 can be characterized by water ice with ≳3% impurities by volume while those with μ

c
< 1 by ≳20% impurities. Furthermore, areas in PSRs with μ

c
< 1 typically surround locations of stronger radar backscatter with μ

c
> 1. Therefore, deposits of nearly pure water ice are likely surrounded by lower-purity material, such as water-ice-rich regolith, which could be the result of impact gardening or the crater’s thermal environment. However, such deposits are not always colocated within large polar craters where ice should be the most stable, even at the surface. In fact, we found that there is no significant difference between the radar backscattering properties of deposits thought to have surficial ice and those with buried ice. Our results also help improve the identification of icy reservoirs elsewhere, such as the Moon. Indeed, we found that μ

c
is not an adequate diagnostic, but rather the radar backscatter in each circular polarization independently provides information to identify water-ice deposits.

Published: March 2022

Introduction: Purified gambier (Uncaria gambir Roxb.) is potential for treating hypertension based on its antioxidant bioactivity. In this study, we investigated the antihypertensive performances of purified gambier on hypertensive rats and the correlation with its antioxidant activity. Methods: Rats (2-3 months old and the bodyweight of 200-250 g) were divided into five groups. Groups 1, 2, and 3 were treated orally with water suspension of purified gambier at doses of 2.5; 5; and 10 mg/kg BW once a day for 14 days, group 4 and 5 were acted as positive control (treated with vehicle) and captopril treated group (comparison) respectively.  The systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), blood flow (BF) and blood volume (BV) were recorded once a day before and 1,3,7 and 14 days after commencement. The blood was taken before and at the end of recording for the plasma NO measurement. Two-way ANOVA was used to analyze the changes of those parameters, except for plasma NO analyzes by one-way ANOVA, followed by Duncan multirange test (95% confidence interval). Results: The study showed that significant antihypertensive effects (p<0.05), influenced by doses and gambier administration duration. The plasma NO of animals was increased after administration of purified gambier (p<0.05), although there was no significant difference in plasma NO in doses variation. Conclusion: These indicated that purified gambier proceed antioxidant associated antihypertensive effects  at doses of 2.5 – 10 mg/kg BW when administered for 14 days on the salt-prednisone induced hypertensive rats.

Power and Empowerment in Nursing: Looking Backward to Inform the Future
Authors: Manojlovich Milisa
Published: March 2022

There are compelling reasons to empower nurses. Powerless nurses are ineffective nurses. Powerless nurses are less satisfied with their jobs and more susceptible to burnout and depersonalization. This article will begin with an examination of the concept of power; move on to a historical review of nurses’ power over nursing practice; describe the kinds of power over nursing care needed for nurses to make their optimum contribution; and conclude with a discussion on the current state of nursing empowerment related to nursing care. Empowerment for nurses may consist of three components: a workplace that has the requisite structures to promote empowerment; a psychological belief in one’s ability to be empowered; and acknowledgement that there is power in the relationships and caring that nurses provide. A more thorough understanding of these three components may help nurses to become empowered and use their power for better patient care.
Environmentally Safe Health Care Agencies: Nursing’s Responsibility, Nightingale’s Legacy
Authors: Shaner-McRae Hollie , McRae Glenn , Jas Victoria
Published: March 2022

Florence Nightingale and subsequent nurse scholars have written about the impact of the environment on human health. Nightingale described, and staked out, the nurse’s role in optimizing environments for healing. Since Nightingale’s time numerous scholars have documented that environmental conditions play a major role in the health of individuals and populations. As nurses become more informed about the environment as a determinant of human health, they will be able to advocate more effectively for environmental conditions that promote health. This article provides both theoretical and practical perspectives to integrate environmental concerns into nursing practice. It recommends specific actions nurses can undertake to improve the environment within the health care setting. In particular the article provides a historical review of an environmental focus in nursing, discusses ways to manage both upstream waste and downstream waste (solid, biohazard, and hazardous chemical wastes) so as to decrease environmental pollution, and recommends specific nursing actions to promote a healthy environment within our health care agencies.
Measuring Fall Program Outcomes

Published: March 2022

Nurses help to ensure patient safety, which includes preventing falls and fall related injuries. The aging Veteran population, like the general population, is at risk for falls and fall related injuries whether at home, in hospitals or in long term care facilities. Nurses are leading practice innovations to systematically assess patients’ risk for falls and implement population based prevention interventions. To determine the effectiveness of programs, data can be analyzed using a variety of statistical measures to determine program impacts. Thus, data analysis of fall rates by type of fall and severity of fall related injury can help facilities examine the effectiveness of their interventions and program outcomes. Examples of actual fall prevention programs and their approaches to measurement are showcased in this article.
Using Theory to Interpret Beliefs in Migrants Diagnosed with Latent TB
Authors: Wyss Lora , Alderman Kay
Published: March 2022

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious health threat to migrant farm workers in the Midwestern United States. This article describes characteristics of migrant culture and lifestyle, economic, and health challenges that may impact screening, diagnosis, and adherence with complex medication regimens associated with TB. A brief overview of TB discusses the historical perspective of the disease and describes the stages, transmission, and incidence among migrant populations. Several theoretical models, such as the Health Belief Model (HBM) and social cognitive theory, were considered by the authors to guide understanding of migrant beliefs about TB. A qualitative research study conducted with 23 Hispanic migrants with latent TB infection is presented. Discussion of the research findings describes environmental, cognitive, and social factors that were barriers to screening, diagnosis, and treatment. The article concludes with a description of recent migrant health clinic updates designed to improve the workers’ health status and considerations for environmental and educational change.
Savoir controversé et polarisation sociale. Une étude du débat politique allemand sur le climat de 2017 à 2021
Authors: Zeigermann Ulrike , Windels Loïc
Published: March 2022

Il existe aujourd’hui un large consensus quant à l’importance du savoir dans la mise au point d’une politique climatique efficace, et les appels pour une amélioration des relations entre la science et la politique ne cessent de se multiplier. Dans le même temps, il y a non seulement controverse sur la définition d’un savoir pertinent pour la politique climatique, sur la question des disciplines scientifiques destinées à jouer un rôle à cet égard et sur la manière dont diverses connaissances sont rendues disponibles et utilisées concrètement pour les décisions de politique climatique, mais encore sur la question de savoir qui dans la recherche se saisit des questions pratiques et comment elles y sont traitées. Dans ce contexte, le présent article s’intéresse aux zones de tension et aux tendances à la polarisation dans l’utilisation du savoir en politique, telles que celles-ci se font jour dans le débat allemand actuel sur la protection du climat et sur l’adaptation au changement climatique. L’analyse de documents publics montre qu’il existe une mobilisation croissante de la société autour de la question de l’expertise dans le débat allemand sur le climat. Cela va de pair avec le renforcement à la fois de mouvements et de partis populistes climato-sceptiques tels que l’Alternative pour l’Allemagne (AfD) et de mouvements politiques de lutte contre le dérèglement climatique tels que Friday for future et Scientists for Future.
La relation science-politique face aux crises : l’exemple de la pandémie de Covid-19 en Allemagne
Authors: Bartl Gabriel , Windels Loïc
Published: March 2022

Les crises se caractérisent par un degré de complexité élevé, auquel les différentes stratégies de gestion possibles doivent répondre. Cette complexité résulte de vastes décloisonnements et interactions entre les dynamiques sociales, politiques et économiques de ces crises. Les appels à y faire face au moyen d’approches intégrées n’en ont été que plus pressants, et pas seulement au sein de la communauté scientifique. L’intégration de différentes perspectives de gestion des crises fait l’hypothèse que la pluralité des formations de savoir peut aider à mieux répondre aux crises multiples. Exploiter activement les possibilités qu’offre cette diversité de perspectives afin d’adapter les formats de la consultation et du conseil actuellement en vigueur dans le champ politique pourrait être un moyen de s’ouvrir davantage à de nouvelles impulsions, au-delà des approches chiffrées de la gestion des crises. La présente contribution examine la question de savoir si et dans quelle mesure les milieux politiques tirent parti du potentiel des comités d’experts travaillant de manière interdisciplinaire et des procédures participatives, pour arriver à la conclusion que l’interface entre la science et la politique donne lieu à certains problèmes de représentation et de légitimation dont le débat devrait s’emparer.
Les anciens comme « experts » : enjeux de la reconnaissance éprouvée des savoirs d’expérience des malades en santé
Authors: Terral Philippe
Published: March 2022

En prenant pour terrain d’enquête un atelier réunissant des soignants et des « anciens » patients pour co-construire un programme d’ etp (éducation thérapeutique du patient) concernant la prise d’anti-cancéreux oraux ( aco ) associé à une recherche interventionnelle avec une équipe de chercheurs en sciences sociales, cet article étudie les modes concrets de mobilisation de l’expertise des « anciens ». Nous montrons que tous les profils d’« anciens » ne sont pas impliqués dans ce dispositif participatif du fait de processus de sélection du dispositif ou d’auto-sélection des patients eux-mêmes. Puis nous insistons sur le décalage entre l’affichage de ces objectifs collaboratifs et leur mise en œuvre concrète, souvent plus laborieuse. L’analyse relève ensuite l’importance de quelques compétences sociocognitives partagées nécessaires à la mise en place de coordination permettant de persévérer dans les objectifs de co-construction. Au final, en considérant la question de l’expertise des « anciens », cette enquête interroge les liens entre inégalités épistémiques et inégalités sociales ou, pour le dire autrement, entre savoirs et démocratie.

Des probiotiques pour l’encéphalopathie hépatique
Authors: Soriano German
Published: March 2022

L’encéphalopathie hépatique est une complication fréquente et invalidante chez les patients atteints de cirrhose. Certains probiotiques peuvent contribuer à prévenir les épisodes d’encéphalopathie hépatique grâce à la modulation du microbiote intestinal, en diminuant l’ammonémie et en améliorant l’état pro-inflammatoire caractéristique de la cirrhose. L’objectif de cette mise au point était d’analyser les publications évaluant les probiotiques dans le domaine de l’encéphalopathie hépatique. Nous avons examiné les preuves de l’efficacité des probiotiques dans l’encéphalopathie hépatique, provenant à la fois d’études expérimentales et cliniques. Les études expérimentales ont révélé que certains probiotiques réduisaient la dysbiose intestinale, renforçaient la barrière intestinale, diminuaient la translocation bactérienne, l’inflammation systémique et neurologique, et amélioraient le profil neurométabolique et le comportement des animaux. Les études cliniques ont confirmé l’amélioration de la dysbiose intestinale et de l’état pro-inflammatoire, et la diminution de l’ammonémie chez des patients atteints de cirrhose. Ces études ont objectivé un bénéfice clinique : diminution de l’incidence du premier épisode et de la récidive de l’encéphalopathie hépatique, amélioration des fonctions cognitives et de la qualité de vie liée à la santé, diminution du risque de chutes. En conclusion l’efficacité des probiotiques dans la prévention et le traitement de l’encéphalopathie hépatique chez des malades atteints de cirrhose devrait être confirmée par des études randomisées de grande taille. Ces études devront s’attacher à déterminer le positionnement des probiotiques dans la stratégie thérapeutique au côté des traitements éprouvés et de la transplantation de microbiote.

Several species of insects have been indicated as suitable and alternative sources of nutrients for humans and animals. A crucial aspect is that their nutritional composition and development time can be influenced by the substrate used for rearing. The main objective of this study is to evaluate how the fatty acid composition ofTenebrio molitor (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) larvae changes with different rearing substrates. For this purpose, a standard diet (51.8% wheat bran + 40.7% soybean meal) was alternatively supplemented with addition of 7.5% (w/w) sunflower, linseed or fish oil. Dry matter, percentage of proteins and lipids, ash and fibre of larvae and substrates, as well as insect development time were determined, highlighting slower growth for insects raised on oil-enriched diets, compared to the control. Gas-chromatography was used to evaluate the fatty acid profile of larvae and substrates. A total of 15 fatty acids was identified and quantified. Palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids were always the most abundant fatty acids detected in larvae, suggesting the presence of physiological regulation mechanisms inT. molitor. The larval content of palmitoleic, oleic, alpha-linolenic and eicosapentaenoic acids was correlated with their content in the rearing diets, indicating strict dependence on diet mainly for PUFA n-3. The n-6/n-3 ratio was influenced by the substrate as well, showing a similar trend between insects and diets but with less variability in larvae. Principal component analysis conducted on the fatty acids profile of larvae displayed several clusters based on the different growing media. This study highlights the importance of the diet in determining the final fatty acid profile of mealworm larvae, although fatty acid enrichment could be dampened by physiological processes of the insects.
Anti-microbial and digestibility trials of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) in rats, rabbits, and reptiles as a model for humans – a review

For the past few decades, attentiveness has been progressive in the arcade of insect production for human food and animal feeds. The husbandry of edible insects has arisen as an auspicious unconventional approach for making protein-enriched feed ingredients. The industrialisation of insect-based protein is going to be more lucrative, dynamic, and well-organised in the future for livestock agribusiness and aquaculture, and consequently, it lowers environmental hazards by decreasing the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Black soldier flies (BSF) are commercially utilised for the biodegradation of biological wastes at a large scale. BSF larvae’s propensity to ingest rotten vegetables, fruits, livestock faeces, and cadavers has empowered their advancement in waste removal services. Although these bio-wastes contain efficient nutrients, there are also colonies of many microbes in these biological trashes. The larvae ofHermetia illucens produce a large number of antimicrobial peptides to protect themselves against microbial invasion. The immune system of these insects is being potentiated by the genome of their innate gut microbes that helps to avoid the settlement of pathogens to which larvae are vulnerable from the feeding substrates. Insects have a strong innate defence system that figures out the production of a wide-ranging variety of antimicrobial peptides. The usage of antibiotics in livestock husbandry has been documented as the leading problem for antibiotic resistance against many pathogens in animals and humans consuming adulterated food products with antibiotic residues. Until this time many types of research have been done about the use of BSF insects in poultry and aquaculture but very few studies have been done on lab animals like rats, rabbits, and reptiles.

The dynamical behaviors of the quorum sensing (QS) system are closely related to the release drugs and control the PH value in microorganisms and plants. However, the effect of the main molecules AiiA, LuxI, H$ _2 $O$ _2 $, and time delayed individual and combinatorial perturbation on the QS system dynamics and the above-mentioned biological phenomena is still unclear, which are seen as a key consideration in our paper. This paper formulates a QS computational model by incorporating these several substances. First, for the protein production time delay, a critical value is given by Hopf bifurcation theory. It is found that a larger time delay can lead to a larger amplitude and a longer period. This indicates that the length of time for protein synthesis has a regulatory effect on the release of drugs from the bacterial population. Second, hen the concentrations of AiiA, LuxI, and H$ _2 $O$ _2 $ is modulated individually, the QS system undergoes periodic oscillation and bistable state. Meanwhile, oscillatory and bistable regions can be significantly affected by simultaneously perturbing any two parameters related to AiiA, LuxI, and H$ _2 $O$ _2 $. This means that the individual or simultaneous changes of the three intrinsic molecular concentrations can effectively control the drugs release and the PH value in microorganisms and plants. Finally, the sensitivity relationship between the critical value of the delay and AiiA, LuxI, H$ _2 $O$ _2 $ parameters is analyzed.

Context

The COVID-19 pandemic led to an abrupt disruption in access to services and personnel for collegiate student-athletes in the spring and summer of 2020. We sought to identify the effects of this unprecedented change by examining the psychological well-being, changes to normal routines, and return-to-play considerations of current student-athletes in order to guide support for both current and future student-athletes who may face similar situations.

Methods

We utilized a phenomenological approach to interview a purposeful sample of eighteen collegiate student-athletes (7 males, 11 females; mean age = 20 years) from across the United States. The participants were interviewed using a semi-structured interview protocol, which was audio recorded and transcribed verbatim using Zoom. The data were then analyzed and coded by a 3-person team via the consensual qualitative research tradition.

Results

Four domains emerged after data analysis: 1) ambiguity, 2) perspective, 3) bonding and cohesion, and 4) resource utilization. Participants discussed ambiguity in terms of eligibility and participation questions, academic changes, and varying COVID-19 policies. Participants shared a wide range of perspectives, from apprehension at the onset of the pandemic, to excitement when returning to campus and competition. They shared how bonding and team development were affected due to a lack of socialization and that support system dynamics between family, coaches, and teammates were strengthened. When describing resource utilization, participants discussed the use of personnel and supplies to help them adjust to changes in facility and space availability. The identification and utilization of resources enabled them to establish a “new normal” for their academics, workouts, and hobbies during the pandemic.

Conclusions

Collegiate student-athletes realized the seriousness of the pandemic and utilized their resources and support systems to adjust their routines and keep a positive attitude during COVID-19. At the same time, some student-athletes struggled with these changes. Personnel should be aware of these effects to provide care and prevent future negative effects.
