Authors: Astuti Irnin Agustina Dwi , Bhakti Yoga Budi , Prasetya Rendi
Published: February 2022

The misconception of physics is a difference in understanding concepts known to students with actual concepts. The student's physics misconception profile must be identified for the student to have a correct understanding of the concept—diagnostic tests as a solution to uncover the causes or factors of misunderstanding the physics concept in students. One type of diagnostic test is 4 tier tests. The purpose of this study was to see if the 4th Tier-Magnetic Diagnostic Test (4T-MDT) can help students identify misconceptions. The study was R&D with a 4D model.  The 4T-MDT instrument consists of 20 multiple choice questions. Once the 4T-MDT instrument is validated, an average assessment of 84% is obtained, which means it is worth using and implemented to students. The test results showed that as many as 15 items on the 4T-MDT instrument were valid, had high reliability, different good power, and a good difficulty level. As a result, the 4T-MDT instrument may be used to identify the profile of student physics mistakes about magnetic fields.

Authors: Costa Rildo Aparecido , Queiroz Arlei Teodoro de
Published: February 2022

Os estudos do comportamento da atmosfera, vem sendo, nos últimos anos, destaque no desenvolvimento de pesquisas científicas e em discussões relacionadas ao cotidiano da sociedade moderna. A variabilidade desse comportamento da atmosfera e sua mudança na essência climática, é um processo dinâmico e complexo para o entendimento desde a sua gênese até a aplicabilidade nos dias atuais. Neste contexto, essa pesquisa objetivou compreender a evolução da precipitação através do conceito de tendência. Utilizou-se como metodologia para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa a aplicação do teste não paramétrico de Mann-Kendall, através da planilha Makesens em sua versão 1.0, desenvolvida por Tino Salmi do Instituto Meteorológico da Finlândia. Os dados de precipitação, de uma série de 45 anos foram obtidos junto a ANA (Agência Nacional das Águas e Saneamento Básico). Concluiu-se que, apesar de se ter uma tendência negativa, para os dados de precipitações totais anuais e sazonais, essa tendência não é significativa para se afirmar a existência de uma mudança no comportamento da precipitação para o município de Campina Verde – MG.

Published: February 2022

Environmental justice is a growing concern in the United States. This study is an attempt to assess if fairness exists when it comes to the population of Franklin County concerning the location of industries based on environmental laws. Industries in Franklin County are taken into consideration and the areas surrounding it to assess the concern of environmental justice using tools in geographic information systems (GIS). This study concentrates on Franklin County as it is one of the most populated counties in Ohio as of 2019. Eleven major cities and industrial facilities are selected in Franklin County. A 4-mile buffer zone is considered around each city using ArcGIS to find the number of industries surrounding them. Pollution is gauged with the count of industries in the considered buffer zones. This study assumes that the number of industries is directly proportional to pollution. Minority and low-income data are extracted from the US Census Bureau. The number of minorities and low-income populations in the considered buffer zone is found using ArcMap. Minority population and income brackets of the population in a buffer zone are compared to the extent of industrial facilities in the same buffer zone. Statistical analysis is performed on the samples to find the correlation between the extent of industrial facilities and minorities to assess Environmental Justice. Another buffer is created using a 14-mile radius (with the centroid of the Franklin County as center) is created using EJSCREEN version 2019 to compare environmental indicators and demographic indicators with the NAAQs standard pollutants. A comparative analysis is performed to evaluate the results. The results indicate that there is no significant correlation between the minority population and industries in the selected 4-mile buffer zones. This approach can apply to any small geographic areas such as counties, zip codes, and census tracts to assess environmental justice.

Authors: Tosun Nilgun , Gecer Aynur
Published: February 2022

Social networks has become in the spotlight for millions of people since they create a dynamic and rich interaction environment between users, and allow free access and usage of fake identity information. Distance education and working from home around the world due to COVID-19 pandemic has affected the increase in the rate and duration of social media usage in the last year. Unfortunately, this increase has offered criminals, who have the potential to pose risks and dangers on social media, more opportunities. Therefore, it has become even more important to use social media as a safe environment. The objective of this study was to develop a Safe Social Networking Scale for determining the security levels in social network usage. The validity and reliability studies of the scale were conducted with 585 social media users. As a result of the validity study, 28 items under five factors were obtained. These factors were being “Time Tunnel/Wall Sharing”, “Safety of Social Network Profile Information and Sharing”, “Social Network Friends List and its Safety”, “Safety of Social Network Information Input”, “Safe Login to Social Network Account”. The items obtained were capable of discriminating the individuals in terms of the features to be measured by the scale. There has not been any scale that directly determines the level of safe use of social media in the literature. The developed scale is expected to fill this scale gap in the literature. Keywords: safety, social networks, scale development, reliability, validity
A Study of Former Japanese Prime Minister Abe’s Speaking Style in 2020: Listener-Oriented or Speaker-Oriented?
Authors: Azuma Shoji
Published: February 2022

Generally speaking, politicians sometimes communicate in a manner that may be considered untrue or even inappropriate in various political situations. One reason for this is the simple but crucial fact that politicians often talk in a manner that is excessively focused on themselves rather than on their listeners. Political officials, it seems, really enjoy talking about what they plan to do and accomplish during their tenure, but less so about what the general public really wants to hear. Speaking more about themselves and less about their constituents, demonstrates that many politicians are clearly speaker-oriented and not listener-oriented. Japan’s former Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, is an example of a politician who often uses a speaker-oriented approach. Through the lens of speaker versus listener orientation, this paper examines Abe’s speaking style in various contexts, including Abe’s comments during several political scandals, as well as Abe’s speeches to constituents and global audiences. By studying Abe’s communication style, we find that politicians may maximize their effectiveness when they orient their speech to listeners, instead of focusing on themselves. The primary data for this study comes from the National Diet Session documentation files provided by the Japanese government, as well as major newspaper articles. Keywords: Japan, listener-oriented, solidarity, speaker-oriented, speech orientation
The Role of Da'i Kamtibmas in Community Police Partnership Forum through Religious Moderation
Authors: Sarji Sarji , Yusuf Budi Permana , Wibowo Ardianto Bayu
Published: February 2022

The relationship and collaboration between preachers (da'i) and the police is an interesting topic of discussion, especially since there are many cases of terrorism in the name of religion. This article aims to reveal the important role of Da'i Kamtibmas (public security and order) who are members of the FKPM (police and community partnership forum) in strengthening religious moderation in society. This study uses an ethnographic method, several characteristics, namely: exploring or researching social phenomena, unstructured data; few cases or samples; and carried out data analysis and interpretation of data about the meaning of human action. The results showed that the involvement of Da'i Kamtibmas in FKPM was to combat radicalism, extremism, intolerance and terrorism in order to synergize and collaborate with the government and the police in creating security and public order. Therefore, Da'i Kamtibmas need to be equipped with certain standard human resources capabilities such as communication and management skills. So that the preacher can give lectures and advice in accordance with the context of the problem, and can be a mediator between the community and the police.

Relasi dan kolaborasi antara pendakwah (da’i) dengan kepolisian menjadi tema pembahasan menarik, terlebih karena munculnya banyak kasus terorisme atas nama agama. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap peran penting Da’i Kamtibmas (keamanan dan ketertiban masyarakat) yang tergabung dalam FKPM (forum kemitraan polisi dan masyarakat) dalam memperkuat moderasi beragama di masyarakat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode etnografi dengan beberapa karakteristik, yaitu: menggali atau meneliti fenomena sosial, data tidak terstruktur; kasus atau sampel sedikit; dan dilakukan analisis data dan interpretasi data tentang arti dari tindakan manusia (human action). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keterlibatan Da’i Kamtibmas dalam FKPM adalah untuk memerangi radikalisme, ekstremisme, intoleransi dan terorisme dalam rangka bersinergi dan berkolaborasi pemerintah dan kepolisian dalam menciptakan keamanan dan ketertiban masyarakat. Karenanya, Da’i Kamtibmas perlu dibekali dengan kemampuan standar SDM tertentu seperti kemampuan komunikasi dan manajemen. Sehingga da’i tersebut dapat memberikan ceramah dan nasihat sesuai dengan konteks permasalahan, serta dapat menjadi mediator antara masyarakat dengan kepolisian.

ЕФЕКТИВНІСТЬ ЗАСТОСУВАННЯ РЕГУЛЯТОРА ВИМПЕЛ–2 ТА КОМПЛЕКСНОГО МІКРОДОБРИВА У ПОСІВАХ СОЇ
Authors: Ласло О. О. , Мельничук А. В.
Published: February 2022

Численні дослідження агрономічної практики стосовно впливу регуляторів росту рослин та сумішей із мікродобривами сприяють новому пошуку комбінацій, їх норм внесення для підвищення продуктивності сої та покращенню якісних показників зерна. У дослідженнях з цього питання висвітлено переваги і недоліки комбінацій препаратів як синтетичного (хімічного), так і природного походження та їх застосування у посівах бобових культур. З недоліків у сумішах РРР, мікродобрив та гербіцидів виявлено пригнічення дії останніх та зниження фітотоксичного ефекту на бур’яновий компонент. Переваг у разі використання таких комбінацій значно більше, про що свідчать численні результати досліджень, серед яких головними є підвищення схожості насіння та продуктивності посівів. У статті наведені дані особливостей впливу сумішей регулятора росту Вимпел-2 та мікродобрива комплексної дії Оракул на продуктивність сорту сої Ромашка. Ефективність сумішей змінювалась залежно від способів їх використання, але найбільш вагомим був вплив обробки посівного матеріалу сої з нормою витрати Вимпел-2 (500 г/т) + Оракул мультикомплекс (1 л/т) у поєднанні з вегетаційною обробкою Вимпел-2 (500 г/га) + Оракул мультикомплекс (1 л/га), при цьому кількість бобів та маса насіння на рослині підвищилася порівняно з контролем на 23 %; 24,9 %, урожайність на 26,2 %. Застосування у варіанті 2 лише регулятора Вимпел–2 при обробці насіння сої сприяло покращенню показників на 7,7 %; 7,4 %; 9,7 %. Застосування для обробки насіння композиції Вимпел-2 (500г/т) + Оракул мультикомплекс (1 л/т) дало змогу підвищити показники порівняно з контролем на 15,7 %; 23,2 %; 20,5 %. Проте відмічено зниження досліджуваних показників за умови композиції Вимпел-2 (500 г/га) + Оракул мультикомплекс (1 л/га) при вегетаційній обробці порівняно з попереднім варіантом (обробка насіння). На варіанті 3 показники перевищили контроль на 14 %; 20,8 %; 19,1 %. Встановлено, що застосування передпосівної обробки сої сумішами (Вимпел–2 (500 г/т) + Оракул мультикомплекс (1 л/т)) у поєднанні з внесенням препаратів у період вегетації (Вимпел-2 (500 г/га) + Оракул мультикомплекс (1 л/га)) сприяє підвищенню показників продуктивності культури порівняно з варіантами, де препарати вносилися як окремо, так і в окремі фази розвитку сої. Комбінування препаратів та внесення їх у два строки безперечно дало можливість розкрити потенціали сорту, про що свідчить збільшення урожайності культури та підвищення показників продуктивності.
НЕБЕЗПЕЧНІ ПРОДУКТИ ДЛЯ ТВАРИН. ОТРУЄННЯ ЦИБУЛЕЮ І ЧАСНИКОМ СОБАК ТА КОТІВ
Authors: Паславські Р. , Паславська У. , Сорокова С.
Published: February 2022

Найбільш популярні домашні улюбленці – собаки та коти – нині вважаються повноцінними членами більшості родин на всій земній кулі. Вони є товариськими тваринами, добре ладнають як з дорослими, так і з дітьми, завжди раді своєму господарю і всіляко виражають свою любов до нього. Вважається, що собаки й коти не надто вибагливі до продуктів харчування, й інколи можна спостерігати, що тварини залюбки поїдають невластиві цьому виду тварин продукти. Наприклад, собаки можуть ласо куштують цукерки й шоколадні вироби, а коти – мариновані огірки та чіпси. Звичайно, таке харчування негативно впливає на організм улюбленців і навіть тоді, коли на перший погляд це лишається непомітним. Варто відмітити, що переважно поява харчових отруєнь у тварин є причиною повної відсутності або ж браку інформації у власників щодо особливостей годівлі своїх улюбленців. Нині у світі почастішали випадки звернень громадян до лікарів ветеринарної медицини з отруєннями собак та котів різними харчовими продуктами, серед яких є такі, як цибуля (Allium cepa L.) та часник (Allium sativum L.). Незважаючи на користь цих рослин при споживанні їх людиною, все ж для собак та котів вони є токсичними через наявність у їхньому складі таких речовин, як сульфоксиди і сульфіди, особливо аліл і пропіл ді-, три- і тетрасульфіди, що містяться в цибулі, та аліцин (діалліл-дисульфід-S-оксид) і аджоен (2-пропеніл-3[3-(2-пропенілсульфініл)-1-пропеніл] дисульфід), які має у своєму складі часник. Особливо часто випадки отруєнь фіксують серед власників тварин, яким подобається годувати своїх тварин «зі столу», тобто тими ж продуктами, які вживають і самі. Тому метою цієї розвідки було охарактеризувати токсичні властивості, які мають цибуля та часник, дати характеристику змінам, які відбуваються в організмі тварин при вживанні цих овочів, та коротко навести основні принципи лікувальних маніпуляцій при отруєнні ними. Розкриття таких аспектів дасть змогу лікарям ветеринарної медицини отримати додаткові знання в цій області, що, своєю чергою, сприятиме правильному діагностуванню вищенаведеної патології і, відповідно, проведенню лікувальних заходів у разі такої необхідності. Слід мати на увазі, що наведена в розвідці інформація буде корисною не лише для спеціалістів ветеринарного фаху, але і для власників собак та котів, адже дасть певне розуміння щодо особливостей годівлі своїх домашніх улюбленців.
ГЕМАТОЛОГІЧНІ ТА БІОХІМІЧНІ ПОКАЗНИКИ КРОВІ ХВОРИХ НА ПАНЛЕЙКОПЕНІЮ КОТІВ ПРИ ЗАСТОСУВАННІ РОЗЧИНУ ПОЛТАВСЬКОГО БІШОФІТУ

У роботі було вивчено гематологічні та біохімічні показники крові хворих на панлейкопенію котів, вікові особливості сприйнятливості до захворювання та сезонність, схеми відновлення фізіологічного статусу. Вперше котам був застосований природний екологічно чистий засіб розчин полтавського бішофіту (РПБ). Для лікування тваринам контрольної групи застосовували стандартну терапевтичну схему, котам дослідної групи 1 у стандартній схемі були удосконалені антибактеріальний, вітамінний та імуностимулюючий препарати, у дослідній групі 2 – до стандартної схеми додавали застосування 2 % РПБ у дозі 1 мл/кг всередину протягом 5 діб. До початку лікування та після видужування у тварин відбирали кров для проведення гематологічних та біохімічних досліджень. У хворих тварин спостерігали зниження кількості лейкоцитів, паличкоядерних та сегментноядерних нейтрофілів, підвищення кількості лімфоцитів, ШОЕ, зниження лужної фосфатази, підвищення АЛТ та АСТ. Після одужання у крові тварин всіх груп достовірно (р<0,05) зросла кількість лейкоцитів: контрольної групи – на 13,1 %, дослідної групи 1 – на 54,4 %, дослідної групи 2 з застосуванням РПБ – на 67,8 %. Відсоткова частка паличкоядерних нейтрофілів зростає у котів контрольної групи в 3,75 рази (р<0,001); дослідної групи 1 – в 3,1 рази (р<0,001); дослідної групи 2 – у 5,0 разів (р<0,001), що достовірно вище (р<0,01) за показник у контрольній групі на 66,7 %. Відсоткова частка сегментноядерних нейтрофілів зростає у контрольних тварин в 1,07 рази; дослідної групи 1 – в 1,38 рази; дослідної групи 2 – достовірно (р<0,05) в 1,51 рази. Спостерігається зниження ШОЕ. У котів при застосуванні РПБ підвищуються кількість еритроцитів та гемоглобіну. У тварин всіх груп, після одужання загальний білок, лужна фосфатаза, АЛТ, АСТ, амілаза, креатинін, сечовина та глюкоза знаходяться у межах норми. Найменшими показники інтоксикації печінки спостерігали при застосуванні РПБ. Запропоновані методи лікування котів за панлейкопенії дали високу ефективність лікування, що підтверджувалось гематологічними та біохімічними дослідженнями фізіологічного стану організму. Найкращий результат проявила схема лікування з використанням РПБ.
Metaphern der Großstadt. Niederländische Berlinprosa zwischen Naturalismus und Moderne
Authors: Schürings Ute
Published: February 2022

Wer die Berlin-Beschreibungen niederländischer und flämischer Künstler des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts liest, gewinnt den Eindruck, ihre Autoren hätten nicht ein und dieselbe, sondern völlig verschiedene Städte bereist. Die einen schwärmen von einer fortschrittlichen Weltmetropole und Hauptstadt der Avantgarde, andere hingegen nehmen Berlin als Zentrum eines immer noch allgegenwärtigen Militarismus wahr, dritte prangern den Verfall der Sitten an. Die vorliegende Studie greift diesen scheinbaren Widerspruch auf und untersucht exemplarisch vier Prosatexte der Autoren Herman Heijermans, J. van Oudshoorn, Hendrik Marsman und Paul van Ostaijen. Wie stellen sie die Stadt dar? Welche Metaphern verwenden sie? Und wie lassen sich die Texte in der Tradition der europäischen Großstadtdarstellung verorten? Eng am Text arbeitend, nuanciert die Untersuchung anhand zahlreicher Zitate, Kommentare und Hintergrundinformationen nicht nur die bisherige literaturhistorische Einordnung der einzelnen Autoren, sondern setzt sich darüber hinaus kritisch mit der in der niederländischen Philologie verbreiteten These eines verspäteten Aufgreifens des Modernismus auseinander.
Contribution of rattan cane in livelihood resilience in relation to Community Forest User Groups and Rattan Processing Enterprises in Nepal
Authors: Chowdhary Chhote Lal , Dutta I.C.
Published: February 2022

This study highlights the contribution of rattan cane in livelihood resilient of rural people in Nepal. Rattan cane is used as raw material for rattan processing enterprises as well as livelihood resilient of community people.  The study was designed based on the exploratory research and was carried out in Community Forest User Groups (CFUGs) Kailali and Bardia district including rattan processing enterprises of major cities in Nepal. The main objective was to assess the contribution of rattan on capitals of Sustainable Livelihood Approaches (SLA) that increase resilient of community people. Systematic random sampling method was followed to take the sampling of rattan processing enterprises and CFUGs. Primary data was collected through open-ended questionnaire, and direct observations; and secondary data was collected from business reports, Forest Operational Plans, and audit reports. The questionnaire survey was conducted to 35 rattan entrepreneurs and rattan traders, and ten executive committee members of CFUGs and 526 household members. The quantitative data was analyzed using frequency of SPSS 20  software tools. The study found that rattan has been important source of income to improve their human capital, natural capital, physical capital, social capital and financial capital in relation to livelihood resilient in the community level, and creation of job in the enterprise level. The major constraints concerning the livelihood resilient was that investment was focused community development rather than household income, investment on rattan development and management was low, and weak employability focus. The study also identified a number of opportunities in the livelihood perspective such as  enterprise development, employment generation to youths and linkage with service providers.
The Inuit’s Offer to Canada’s Black Governor General: Food, Power, and the Deconstruction of Lévi-Strauss’ “Culinary Triangle”
Authors: Robidoux Michael A. , Stratas Aida
Published: February 2022

This article revisits when former Canadian Governor General, Michaëlle Jean, consumed raw seal heart at an Inuit community feast. This event provides important insight about cultural meanings around food and the power relationships imbued in culinary traditions. It also provides an opportunity to investigate how food has been theorized in academic research, and how this scholarship is potentially complicit in the derisive responses directed at Jean, most notably in the structural anthropological work of Claude Lévi-Strauss, The Raw and the Cooked. By deconstructing Lévi-Strauss’ logic of binary oppositions (raw/cooked, nature/culture, civilized/uncivilized) in the “Culinary Triangle” model and applying his binary assumptions to Jean’s behaviour and the ensuing media and public responses, it becomes apparent how Lévi-Strauss’ theoretical model reflects dichotomous thinking in contemporary Western societies that engenders marginalization and misrepresentation of Indigenous peoples and their cultural practices. These power structures are produced from a single epistemic centre—the Western centre which undermines the cultural values and social position of those outside of the Western imaginary. The purpose of this article is to revisit how Canadian and European news sources discursively constructed the event and investigate how Lévi-Strauss’ binary food analysis inadvertently contributes to the perpetuation of power imbalances between Indigenous and Western perspectives.

LAY SUMMARY

This study sought to determine how much patients with chronic pain could be helped to function better long after completing a four-week interdisciplinary pain management program. Comments from 16 Veterans and 23 civilians four months to four years after the end of the program showed 10 common themes: 1) gratefulness for their treatment in the program, 2) improved ability to function, 3) better coping strategies and confidence, 4) empowered to overcome daily challenges, 5) on a path to rehabilitation and recovery, 6) the need for support groups, 7) still had struggles, 8) the need for additional follow-up to maintain gains, 9) wishing they had attended the program sooner, and 10) would recommend the program to others. Veterans’ comments were no different from those of civilians. Results emphasize that Veterans and civilians share a common experience and maintain their benefits from interdisciplinary care in managing chronic pain. On the basis of these findings, clinicians have opportunities to improve quality and apply new services to the program.
Comparison of Traditional Lecture-Based Learning versus Interactive Electronic Book Learning in Veterinary Student Comprehension of Inhalant Anesthetic Administration, Uptake, and Elimination

Published: February 2022

The administration, uptake, and elimination of inhalant anesthetics is a challenging topic in the veterinary curriculum, and lecture-based learning is often insufficient to ensure that students understand these concepts. We hypothesized that the use of an interactive electronic book (e-book) would enhance student comprehension of the material. Two sequential Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine student cohorts participated in a prospective controlled study. The first cohort received traditional lecture-based learning while the second cohort was taught the topic using an interactive e-book. Student comprehension of the material was assessed twice during the course via multiple-choice questions: five questions in a midcourse quiz and seven within the final exam. At the end of the course, students also completed a Likert survey assessing their confidence regarding the topic. Averaged across assessment types, students taught using the interactive e-book scored higher than those taught via the traditional method (p < .001). Final exam scores were significantly higher in the e-book cohort compared with the lecture-based cohort (p < .001). However, there was no difference in quiz scores between groups (p = .109). No significant difference was found between groups in responses to the Likert survey. In conclusion, students using the interactive e-book had better comprehension of the material than students in the traditional lecture group as measured by their scores on multiple-choice question assessments. Future studies are needed to determine whether this advantage persists later in the curriculum when students apply these concepts in the clinical year.
Atividade física e motivação em crianças e adolescentes com excesso de peso
Authors: Siqueira Nathália Ferreira , Enumo Sonia Regina Fiorim
Published: February 2022

Este estudo analisou o nível de atividade física (AF) e as regulações motivacionais associadas à prática de AF de 23 crianças e adolescentes com excesso de peso (EP), de ambos os sexos, com 7-18 anos, pacientes ambulatoriais de um hospital-escola. Estes responderam individualmente o Questionário do Dia Típico de Atividade Física e Alimentação – módulo de AF, e o Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire adaptado. Os resultados mostraram um baixo nível de prática de AF, porém, a maioria apresentou maiores índices de regulação motivacional do tipo “identificada” e de “autodeterminação” para a prática de AF. Conclui-se que, apesar dos participantes apresentarem motivação mais autônoma para a prática da AF, o nível ainda é muito baixo frente às recomendações. São necessárias intervenções que avaliem as relações entre a motivação e a prática efetiva de AF, para uma maior adesão ao tratamento de crianças e adolescentes com EP.

Abstract

Backgrounds 

Optimistic bias in terms of risk estimates about COVID-19 infection susceptibility in Pakistani population is a threat which will cause horrifying results, just like Italy, France, and USA. We present estimates of perceived risk of COVID-19 infection susceptibility across demographics in Pakistani population.

Methods 

In the last week of may, 2020, an online survey (N = 440) was conducted in Pakistan. A questionnaire was developed in Urdu language about people’s perceptions of risk judgments about COVID-19 infection susceptibility.

Findings

Estimate of perceived risk of COVID-19 infection for one’s self was low than for the others. These irrationally optimistic estimates about COVID-19 infection susceptibility were consistent across gender, age levels, and education levels.

Conclusion

Results of this survey were consistent with the previous researches, representing that people are optimistically biased about the susceptible for COVID-19 infection. Further studies are needed to find out the caused of optimistic bias and its effects on actual protective behaviors.
