Manual versus Machine: How Accurately Does the Medical Text Indexer (MTI) Classify Different Document Types into Disease Areas?
Authors: Moore Duncan A.Q. , Yaqub Ohid , Sampat Bhaven N.
Published: February 2023

The Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) thesaurus is a controlled vocabulary developed by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) for classifying journal articles. It is increasingly used by researchers studying medical innovation to classify text into disease areas and other categories. Although this process was once manual, human indexers are now assisted by algorithms that automate some of the indexing process. NLM has made one of their algorithms, the Medical Text Indexer (MTI), available to researchers. MTI can be used to easily assign MeSH descriptors to arbitrary text, including from document types other than publications. However, the reliability of extending MTI to other document types has not been studied directly. To assess this, we collected text from grants, patents, and drug indications, and compared MTI’s classification to expert manual classification of the same documents. We examined MTI’s recall (how often correct terms were identified) and found that MTI identified 78% of expert-classified MeSH descriptors for grants, 78% for patents, and 86% for drug indications. This high recall could be driven merely by excess suggestions (at an extreme, all diseases being assigned to a piece of text); therefore, we also examined precision (how often identified terms were correct) and found that most MTI outputs were also identified by expert manual classification: precision was 53% for grant text, 73% for patent text, and 64% for drug indications. Additionally, we found that recall and precision could be improved by (i) utilizing ranking scores provided by MTI, (ii) excluding long documents, and (iii) aggregating to higher MeSH categories. For simply detecting the presence of any disease, MTI showed > 94% recall and > 87% precision. Our overall assessment is that MTI is a potentially useful tool for researchers wishing to classify texts from a variety of sources into disease areas.
The Experimental Hand: How Platform-based Experimentation Reconfigures Worker Autonomy
Authors: Rahman Hatim , Weiss Tim , Karunakaran Arvind
Published: February 2023

We examine how platform-based experimentation influences worker autonomy when workers do not have access to the same relational opportunities that workers in conventional bureaucratic organizations have traditionally relied on to preserve their autonomy. By analyzing longitudinal qualitative data from one of the world’s largest digital labor platforms, we found that the platform implemented three experimentation regimes—explicit, concealed, and unbounded—that reconfigured workers’ autonomy in unexpected ways. We theorize the introduction of and successive changes in platform-based experimentation as constitutive of the experimental hand. Our model of the experimental hand captures how successive changes in platform-based experimentation regimes reconfigure workers’ degree of autonomy: workers first experienced increased autonomy, followed by diminished autonomy, and finally workers normalized their diminished autonomy as a “business as usual” aspect of work life on the platform. Whereas prior research has primarily examined the design and efficacy of experiments from the perspective of organizations, our study builds new theory on the social effects of experimentation, capturing the implications faced by workers.

Keterbukaan informasi anggaran masih merupakan sesuatu yang langka ditemukan pada website resmi pemerintah kabupaten/kota di Provinsi Riau. Hal ini dikarenakan belum adanya kesadaran pemerintah daerah untuk bertindak transparan dalam pengelolaan keuangan daerah, khusunya melalui website resminya padahal sudah jelas bahwa informasi pengelolaan keuangan daerah merupakan hak masyarakat dan kewajiban pemerintah daerah untuk mempublikasikannya.
‘If in Doubt, Sit Them Out’ – an investigation of knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours of Scottish amateur rugby players regarding concussion using a multiple regression
Authors: Hardie Tim
Published: February 2023

Concussion has been a growing area of concern in the sport of Rugby Union due to the long-termhealth consequences attributed to the injury. Predominantly, concussion research has focused onprofessional or youth rugby, with adult amateur rugby receiving less attention. The current studyemploys two pre-existing surveys to investigate the relationship between 116 participants’concussion knowledge, safeness of attitudes and reporting intentions. Confirmatory factor analysiswas conducted on participants' concussion knowledge and safeness of attitudes, based on the 6constructs of the Health Belief Model, and the surveys’ prior use in different demographics. Amultiple regression was then used to assess the relationship between concussion knowledge andsafeness of attitudes on concussion reporting intentions amongst Scottish amateur rugby players.Results showed that the factors of concussion attitudes were inconsistent with the six constructs ofthe Health Belief Model. A multiple regression showed that higher scores of concussion safeattitudes had a significant predictor of intent to report concussions, and that concussion knowledgewas not a significant factor. Results highlight the need for particular emphasis to be on safeconcussion attitudes, and not purely on general concussion knowledge, in concussion educationprogrammes to increase Scottish amateur rugby players’ intention to report symptoms immediately.

Lassa fever is a disease endemic in West Africa caused by the Lassa virus (LASV). The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has put an extra burden on Nigeria in the fight against infectious disease outbreaks. Lassa fever cases peak seasonally in the first three months of the year. Despite the reduction in the epidemiological trends in 2021, the current trends of the Lassa fever cases in Nigeria in 2022 indicate that the virus is still being actively transmitted in the country with some large states regarded as high burden areas. There are requirements to increase in vaccine uptake for COVID-19,  to strengthen the testing capacities for LASV, and develop licensed LASV vaccine, in order to eradicate these viral diseases of concern. This study aims to identify the current trends of Lassa fever in Nigeria, measures and challenges and suggest strategies for curtailing the spread.
Does non-linguistic segmentation still predict literacy in an L2 education? Statistical learning in Ivorian primary schools

Published: February 2023

Statistical learning (SL) is a learning mechanism that does not directly depend on knowledge of a language, but predicts language and literacy outcomes for children and adults. Research linking SL and literacy has not addressed children who first learn to read in their second language (L2), common in primary schools worldwide. Several studies have linked SL with childhood literacy in Australia, China, Europe, and the U.S., and we pre-registered an adaptation for Côte d’Ivoire, where students are educated in French and speak a local language at home. Recruiting 117 sixth- graders from primary schools in several villages, we tested for correlations >0.3 between SL and literacy with 80-90% power. We found no evidence for these correlations, but visual SL was correlated with L2 phonological awareness. Although this finding may suggest a role of SL in emergent L2 skills, it underscores the need to include L2 acquisition contexts in literacy research.

Chemical predictive modeling of ethyl-p-methoxycinnamate and synthesis of natural lotion from kencur (Kaempferia galanga L.) as sunscreen agents
Authors: Salmahaminati  , Fitri Noor , Kusuma Yuvia Rafi
Published: February 2023

Solar radiation is essential for the evolution of life on earth. Solar radiation, including ultraviolet radiation (UV), reaches the earth's surface. The sun emits three types of UV radiation: UVA, UVB, and UVC, which have beneficial and harmful effects on the human body. The most important benefit is the synthesis of vitamin D in the skin. However, UVB radiation also causes direct photochemical damage to DNA. This study aimed to investigate the ability of the compound ethyl-p-methoxycinnamate (EPMS) that is available in kencur as a sunscreen agent through computational chemistry studies using the Hartree-Fock (HF) method and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and perform synthesis of lotion from kencur extract. The investigation began with creating a molecular model of a sunscreen agent optimized for geometry using the HF method and continued with spectrum analysis using TD-DFT. The study's results showed that the analysis of the EPMS spectrum could be used as a natural UVB shield. In addition, the synthesis of lotion from kencur rhizome made using oil and water phases showed organoleptic, pH, homogeneity, and spreadability test results fitted according to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 16-4399-1996. It indicated that kencur lotion could potentially be used as a sunscreen agent.
Do humanismo burguês ao humanismo existencialista: o caminho do intelectual clássico para Sartre
Authors: De Souza Thana Mara
Published: February 2023

Trata-se de compreender a noção de intelectual clássico no pensamento de Sartre, mais especificamente a partir das conferências Plaidoyer pour les intellectuels. Veremos que o percurso de transformação do técnico do saber prático em intelectual se inicia com o desvelamento da contradição da sociedade e de seu próprio papel, na descoberta da falsidade do humanismo burguês, abstrato e excludente. Contra a ideologia que o selecionou e o educou, o intelectual coloca a necessidade de pensar a partir do concreto e das particularidades, o que não implica um relativismo subjetivista. Ao abandonar o universal abstrato, o intelectual propõe, em seu lugar, uma universalização singular, assumindo o paradoxo proposto por Kierkegaard e atualizado por Sartre. Neste sentido, aproximar as conferências de 1965 sobre o intelectual com a conferência sobre Kierkegaard, ministrada no ano seguinte, é fundamental para melhor compreendermos o papel do intelectual clássico e como, no questionamento teórico do falso humanismo da classe dominante e no questionamento prático de suas atitudes cotidianas, ele mantém a ambiguidade entre universal e singular, objetividade e subjetividade. Assim, podemos por fim compreender como o humanismo existencialista se coloca.

A pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar aspectos/elementos da cosmologia de Aristóteles a partir da filosofia da ciência de Larry Laudan. A tentativa é apresentar neste artigo uma interpretação possível sobre como o processo evolutivo da cosmologia da época sob o enfoque da filosofia de Laudan, baseado nas tradições de pesquisa, teorias específicas, modelo reticulado, progresso científico, metodologia, axiologia, etc. Abordaremos sobre a questão da aceitação das teorias específicas, a questão da eficácia na resolução de problemas, entre outras questões importantes para a interpretação mencionada. O recorte histórico será importante enquanto elemento que permitiria visualizar esta interpretação filosófica e sobre como seria possível pensar em um modelo de reticulação neste contexto, na tentativa de apresentar os tensionamentos entre os componentes da tradição de pesquisa, como forma de destacar a necessidade de revisão constante destes elementos historicamente, dentro do processo evolutivo das tradições de pesquisa. Utilizaremos como base especialmente as obras O progresso e seus problemas: rumo a uma teoria do crescimento científico (2011) [1977] e Science and Values (1984).
Intencionalidade coletiva: a linhagem interacionista
Authors: Da Cas Cichoski Luiz Paulo
Published: February 2023

Neste artigo pretendo apresentar de forma introdutória o campo de investigação da Intencionalidade Coletiva. Entretanto, optei por concentrar a exposição em um tipo particular de explicação do fenômeno. Na primeira seção, apresento as dificuldades que motivam o desenvolvimento de teorias no campo da Intencionalidade Coletiva dentro da Filosofia da Ação. Na segunda seção, identifico a origem da linhagem teórica tratada com a explicação da noção de intenção compartilhada, uma interligação reflexiva dos estados mentais dos indivíduos envolvidos em uma ação coletiva, desenvolvida por Michael Bratman. Na terceira seção, apresento a reforma proposta por Deborah Tollefsen para diminuir as demandas cognitivas exigidas pela proposta Bratman, tornando possível que crianças pequenas possam satisfazer as condições da teoria. Por fim, na quarta seção discuto a proposta de Olle Blomberg de uma intenção em ação socialmente estendida que objetiva explicar como seria possível incluir resultados das ações de outros indivíduos no conteúdo de uma intenção em ação individual.
Deleuze e seu outro
Authors: Souza Alisson Ramos de
Published: February 2023

O conceito de outrem (autrui) não recebeu a devida atenção no conjunto da filosofia de Deleuze até recentemente (VENTURA, 2020; FERREIRA, 2021). Outrem aparece na obra deleuziana em alguns momentos de Diferença e Repetição, em O que é a filosofia? – obra escrita juntamente a Félix Guattari – mas, sobretudo, num texto presente no apêndice de Lógica do sentido intitulado “Michel Tournier e o mundo sem outrem”, no qual ele comenta o romance de M. Tournier, Sexta-feira ou os limbos do pacífico. Outrem nada mais é do que a expressão de um mundo possível, ou ainda, uma estrutura que organiza a percepção e assegura as margens e transições do mundo. Quando esta estrutura se dissolve, os simulacros ascendem às superfícies, destruindo as formas e libertando as forças e intensidades. Acreditamos que o agente dessa dissolução é Sexta-feira, cuja vinda desarranja a ordem forjada por Robinson em sua ilha. Sexta-feira já não funciona como a estrutura outrem, visto que ele é um outro de outrem, que vai possibilitar o acesso a um campo transcendental impessoal, pré-individual, povoado de singularidades livres. Os conceitos de Emmanuel Lévinas de “rosto” e “absolutamente outro” (tout autre) auxiliará nesse movimento a fim de compreender o outro de Deleuze, embora seja necessário apontar a sua pertinência e as suas limitações.
É a colônia de formigas um organismo consciente?
Authors: Luiz do Vale Fonseca Anderson
Published: February 2023

A semelhança entre o padrão de interação dos neurônios do cérebro humano e a colônia de formigas torna esta última objeto da hipótese de ser uma estrutura apta a ter uma consciência. Assim, neste artigo, a definição de Thomas Nagel da consciência como algo que é ser para um organismo se torna basilar para o exame dela como um possível sujeito experiencial. A colônia de formigas, se considerada um organismo, poderia ser um sujeito apto a ter experiências internas. Por isso, neste artigo, eu desenvolvo com base no Pampsiquismo, critérios de análise da colônia, apresentando quais características ela deve atender para ser qualificada como consciente. Dessa maneira, ela se torna um modelo apropriado para o exame da relação corpo-mente. Não defendo que a colônia de formigas é um organismo genuíno, mas que, caso seja, terá algum tipo de experiência consciente. No tratamento dessa questão, eu examino se a colônia é um indivíduo biológico, e, em seguida, se é possível que as mentes das formigas embasem a mente da colônia. Concluo que, a partir do modo de interação das partes com o todo, pode haver mais de uma resolução para o problema, i.e., a consciência da colônia depende do modo como seus componentes estão física e fenomenalmente integrados.

present in the environment could constitute a hazard to food security and public health. These can be accumulated in aquatic animals such as fish.Objective: In this study, selected heavy metals: Copper (Cu), Nickle (Ni), Chromium (Cr) and Iron (Fe) were evaluated in commercial canned fish products (Sardines) that are commonly consumed in Iraq. The canned fish (Sardine) which studied were Yacout Sardine (Morocco), Marina Sardine (Tunisia), Silver Sardine (Morocco) and Salsa Sardine (China).Methods: Prospective study was done in Baghdad from January to June 2016 . 40 samples of four different foreign brands (10 samples for each brand were obtained): Yacout Sardine (Morocco), Marina Sardine(Tunisa), Silver Sardine (Morocco) and Salsa Sardine (China) of canned fish (90 g cans) were analyzed for their content of Cu, Ni, Cr and Fe. Atomic absorption spectroscopy technique was used for determination of metals under study.Results: Mean levels of Cu in four types of canned sardine were 0.7±0.03 μg/g in Yacout canned sardine, 0.9±0.0303 μg/g in Marina canned sardine, 2.1±0.367 μg/g in silver canned sardine and 1.0±0.41 μg/g in Salsa canned sardine, while mean levels of Ni in four samples were 0.14±0.043 μg/g, 0.12±0.035 μg/g ,0.12±0.055 μg/g and 0.14±0.0285 μg/g .Also mean levels of Cr in same four samples were 0.1±0.0332 μg/g, 0.08±0.02 μg/g, 0.1±0.0245 μg/g, 0.11±0.0274 μg/g. and mean levels of Fe in four samples were 21±1.685 μg/g , 25±1.1 μg/g , 20±1.886 μg/g and 30±0.831 μg/g respectivelyConclusion: analytical data obtained from this study shows that the metal concentrations for the types of canned sardines except Fe were generally within the Environmental Protection Agency in United States of America (U.S.EPA), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO),World Health Organization(WHO) and Food and Drug Administration in United States of America (U.S.FDA) recommended limits for canned fish and do not cause any risk for the local consumers, but contamination of Fe in majority of canned sardines samples may cause risk for the consumers.
Influence of pore structure on corrosion resistance of high performance concrete containing metakaolin
Authors: Philip Nivin , Jędrzejewska Agnieszka , Varughese Abynoah , James Jomy
Published: February 2023

Even though concrete is considered to be durable, the environment to which the concrete is exposed plays an important role in its durability. The durability of concrete is challenged due to its porous nature, which is especially important in harsh exposure conditions such as marine environment. The reinforced concrete elements of marine structures such as bridges, wharves, docks, etc. are subjected to various types of exposures such as wetting and drying action [WDA], fully submerged condition, and in contact with chlorides. To refine the pore structure of concrete and to improve the durability characteristics of such structures, it is essential to use high performance concrete [HPC]. In this study, metakaolin [MK] is used as partial replacement of cement to produce HPC. The use of metakaolin is found to be very effective in reducing the porosity of concrete. As the porosity of concrete decreases, the corrosion rate can be reduced considerably. The durability characteristics of metakaolin-incorporated HPC is studied for 365 days to investigate the changes in its pore structure in long term. The iCOR® NDT method is used to find the corrosion performance and concrete resistivity of high performance metakaolin concrete under a simulated wetting and drying action [WDA] of seawater over several periods. The deterioration effect caused by the simulated WDA of seawater is also studied by considering the bond strength of specimens subjected to normal and corrosive exposure conditions.

Authors: Gunasekaran M. , Palanisamy T.
Published: February 2023

Lightweight concrete [LWC] is rapidly reaching its full potential for a broad range of applications in the construction of concrete structures. It is tailor-made material for specific applications having beneficial properties. Therefore, the paper is devoted to the experimental analysis and study of fly ash and bagasse ash on the durability properties of lightweight concrete. Durability can be defined as the ability of the material to withstand the effects of its environment which are influencing the deterioration of concrete. The saturated water absorption and sorptivity was studied through experimental investigations, by varying the percentage of fly ash and bagasse ash content. Both fly ash and bagasse ash shows that the increase in the percentage of replacement leads to the more absorption of lightweight concrete. The results are investigated and presented on the studies conducted as follows, showing that the increases in the percentage of replacement, strength also increased.
LEGAL ASPECTS OF CONDUCTING OF HANDWRITING RESEARCH

Published: February 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of regulatory and legal aspects regarding the conduct and appointment of handwriting expertise in civil proceedings. It is noted that the legal nature of the handwriting examination presupposes the availability of special knowledge in the field of science, which allows with a very high percentage of accuracy to establish or disprove facts that are important in the consideration of a case and the resolution of a civil dispute. Handwriting expertise is important for both sides of the litigation. It was determined that the study of writing and handwriting has gone a long way in its development and the method of conducting handwriting research is constantly being improved. The concept of handwriting examination is characterized in the scientific work. The concept of “legal expert”, “civil litigation expert”, “judicial expert” was studied. Attention was drawn to the absence in the civil procedural legislation of Ukraine of a clear and detailed regulation of the concept, legal nature, procedure for collecting materials and direct forensic examination. The main legislative scientific-methodological recommendations on the preparation and appointment of handwriting examination have been analyzed. Emphasis was placed on the study of copies of handwritten records and signatures obtained by electronic means and electronic photographic means. The legal aspects of the assessment of the expert's decision based on the results of the court's handwriting examination have been studied. The role of handwriting research in the process of law enforcement is determined. Handwriting research is defined as one of the most effective means of proof. It was concluded that the expert's decision is a valid piece of evidence in the case, however, its content should be carefully checked and studied by the court, and the assessment should be carried out in combination with all the circumstances of the case. Problematic aspects of the researched area are formulated. Attention is focused on the lack of a proper mechanism of legal regulation in civil procedural legislation regarding a clear algorithm of court actions during the appointment of expertise, especially in the aspect of collecting material for expert research. Proposals have been made to improve the legislation regarding the procedure for collecting samples for handwriting examination and the direct participation of a judge in this process.
TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY IN UKRAINE: CURRENT CHALLENGES
Authors:   National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Svitlychnyy Olexander P.
Published: February 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the problematic issue of technology transfer in today's conditions. Legislators and by-laws regulating relations in the field of technology transfer are analyzed. Attention is drawn to the importance of scientific technologies and their implementation in the activities of industrial enterprises, which is an indispensable development of the economic growth of many leading economically developed countries, as well as a determining factor in the progress of society and the improvement of the welfare of citizens. Informational, analytical and statistical data on the impact of technology transfer on the financial condition of enterprises, institutions and organizations in relation to budget funds are presented. Among the positive financial indicators, based on the analysis of statistical data and scientific literature, attention is drawn and problems hindering the integration of the technology transfer process in domestic industrial enterprises are identified. In particular, these are: migration of scientists; insufficient amounts of funding for innovative activities; low innovative activity of active enterprises, which leads to a reduction in the share of innovative products both in the structure of production and in exports; low level of state support for innovation and demand for high-tech products; lack of stimulating technology transfer mechanisms. Using the example of the report of the State Enterprise «Ukrainian Institute of Intellectual Property» for 2021, attention is drawn to the decline in innovative activity of domestic enterprises. It is emphasized that in the conditions of a full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine, state support for innovations, inventors, and other authors of intellectual property rights is a guarantee of increasing the economic potential and military-industrial complex of the state. Addresses existing problematic issues of state security regarding the transfer of technology, protection of secret inventions, commercial secrets, other objects of intellectual property law, and suggests ways of solving problematic issues in the field of technology transfer in Ukraine.
LEGAL ACTIVITY AS A TYPE OF LEGAL WORK
Authors:   Alfred Nobel University, Anokhin Vadym O.
Published: February 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the legal activities of the legal support units of state bodies, in particular the bodies of the state tax service, taking into account a certain retrospect. The article contains references and citations of scientists whose research subjects were legal work, the activities of the legal service and legal support in the state tax service bodies. The article stated that in the organization of the activities of any enterprise or organization there are always functional divisions that ensure the performance of statutory tasks and functions, and those that provide, which, in particular, include legal. As a result of the analysis of the relations between the administration of the enterprise and the institution of the organization, the article proposes models of such interaction with various entities that provide legal assistance. Among the correlation of such categories as "legal work" and "legal activity", the research found its place and generalization of the principles of legal activity. Scientists research allows us to claim that the specificity of a lawyer's activity contains law enforcement activity of employees of other services and depends on the body`s level whose legal side of activity they provide. As a result of the analysis of the work of lawyers and scientists, it was concluded that legal work is an organizational process that ensures the correct and effective implementation of current legislation at every stage of both economic activity and state administration. The proposed work contains different definitions and understandings of the term "legal activity", that indicates the multiplicity of approaches to the definition of the considered category. The work proposes a structure of legal activity, which is formed by subjects, objects, legally significant actions and events. The analysis of practical activities in the bodies of the state tax service allows us to conclude that activities with the application of legal norms concern not only legal divisions, but all structural ones, including functional ones.

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the appointment of handwriting examination in civil proceedings based on the analysis of court practice. The scientific work describes the procedure for appointing handwriting expertise in civil proceedings. The role of handwriting examination in establishing the truth in the case is determined. The authors indicate that the analysis of court practice gives grounds for asserting that, for the most part, courts take into account the expert's decision based on the results of the handwriting examination as a means of proof and consider it a valid piece of evidence in the case. It is noted that the expert's decision, like any other evidence, may be questionable or even incorrect for various reasons, in particular, the expert may be presented with incorrect initial data or invalid objects.

The article is devoted to modern changes in Ukraine. They are connected with the digitization of the lives of ordinary citizens, as well as with changes in the diplomatic sphere. Today, using the usual tools is no longer effective. Rapid changes require the search for new, extraordinary and bold approaches. It was determined that digitization is a transition to modern, transparent and automated rules. Ukrainians will be able to personally monitor the transparency of the system and monitor the implementation of projects in real time. Even a year ago, it was possible to claim that the coronovirus infection COVID - 19 changed the usual way of life. But the war fundamentally affected the lives of Ukrainians, as well as their digital behavior. Today, even in the conditions of war, Ukraine is becoming a leader in the implementation of the most modern and boldest innovations. Our state was the first to equate a digital passport with an analog one. Also, Ukraine can become the first state in the world to initiate the digital establishment of diplomatic relations. This is undoubtedly a confirmation of Ukraine's leadership in the field of modern technologies. Despite the ancient roots of diplomacy, it cannot be unchanging. We are talking about the creation of new mobile and efficient embassies. It was determined that digitalization accelerates the speed of development of the state. The article states that digital diplomacy or e-diplomacy is defined as the use of the Internet and new information and communication technologies to achieve diplomatic goals. Another point of view boils down to the fact that digital diplomacy solves foreign policy problems with the help of the Internet.

Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to investigate the role of health literacy in coping with anxiety caused by Covid-19 pandemic among Tehran citizens. Method This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 384 citizens over the age of 20 in Tehran. Sampling was conducted using Sample Power software and data were collected using two questionnaires of health literacy of Iranians from Montazeri et al. and anxiety caused by Corona from Alipour et al. (2009). Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability have been used to calculate validity, and face validity has been used to obtain the necessary validity. Findings Findings indicate that the mean scores of anxiety caused by Covid-19 pandemic were lower in men than those of women. Also, based on analytical results it can be said that the dimensions of health literacy (reading, assessment, comprehension, decision making, and behavior and access) are able to approximately account for 47% of anxiety caused by Covid-19.
