Abstract Background: The outbreak of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is a public health emergency of international concern. The epidemic has brought not only the risk of being infected and death but also unbearable psychological impact like anxiety and depression. The aim of this study was investigating the psychological status and behavior changes of the public during COVID-19 epidemic.Methods: None randomly selected 300 respondents were recruited voluntarily and completed questionnaire. We used the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Self-rating Depression Scale, and Symptom Checklist-90 to evaluate psychological status. We also investigated respondents’ behavior changes. Quantitative data were analyzed by t-tests or analysis of variance, and classified data were analyzed with chi-square tests. We just simply describe the qualitative data we got by interviewing medical doctors who are working at referral and designated COVID-19 treatment hospital in Addis Ababa. Result: More respondents had state anxiety than trait anxiety (46.7% vs. 30.0%). Respectively, mild, moderate and severe depression was found among 28.1%, 7.2% and 1.4% of respondents and 27.4% had psychological abnormalities. Our analysis of the relationship between subgroup characteristics and psychological status showed that age, occupation, income level, knowledge about COVID-19, Place where the participants’ lives and confidence about overcoming the outbreak significantly influenced psychological status. Around 84.1% of respondents were avoided and significantly reduce going to public places than in previous years and 91.8 % of respondents reduced visiting families, relatives and friends and holyday-related activities during Eastern and Arafa. Conclusion: COVID-19 not only causes physical health concerns but also results in a number of psychological problems. We need to pay more attention to public psychological stress, especially among young people, as they are likely to experience anxiety, depression, and psychological abnormalities.

What did it mean to be a man in Baroque Europe? The answer was crucial for men aspiring to success, whether in everyday society or in the rarefied culture of the court. While the concept of manliness was defined by clothing and articulated in conduct books, it was most clearly demonstrated in portraits. Portraits involved not just likenesses but the carefully arranged iconography of clothes and accessories, how they were worn, and their associations. The masculine ideal shifted perpetually from looseness to restraint, from sensitivity to strength, from meditation to sociability. A survey of portraits over a 150-year period reveals how the civil servants of Europe, equipped with their knowledge of fashion and behavior and sustained by the skills of artists, achieved a complex, dignified version of the public masculine self.

Obesity is one of the biggest health problems globally that, together with sedentarism, requires solutions that increase the enthusiasm towards physical activity. Therefore, this paper describes two solutions based on active games using the Kinect sensor and biometric sensors, designed for the outpatient treatment of childhood obesity. The solutions were applied in an intervention program based on active video games and motor games, developed with children in treatment for childhood obesity. An ad hoc questionnaire was used to assess the level of satisfaction, fun, learning, and behavior changes in the children of the experimental group that developed the intervention. The results showed a high index of satisfaction with the intervention program, as well as with the games developed. It is concluded that active video games and group games are highly motivating and can promote behavior change towards healthier life habits in children.

Controlling police officers’ discretionary behavior during public encounters has been an important issue in U.S. policing, especially following several high-profile police-involved deaths of racial minorities. In response, body-worn cameras (BWCs) were introduced to enhance police accountability by providing police managers an opportunity to monitor police–public encounters. Although many U.S. local police departments have now implemented BWC programs, evidence of program effects on daily police behavior has been limited. This study therefore focuses on whether officers’ arrest behavior changes when they perceive that BWCs are recording their interactions with the public. By conducting a difference-in-differences analysis using 142 police departments, I found that BWCs have negative and small treatment effects on arrest rates and null effects on the racial disparity between numbers of Black and White arrests. These findings imply that officers may become slightly more cautious in the use of arrests after wearing BWCs, but BWCs do not change their overall disparate treatment of Black versus White suspects. The results further indicate that the effects of BWCs on arrests are prominent in municipalities with high crime rates or a high proportion of non-White residents, which suggests that BWC programs demonstrate different effects according to the characteristics of communities served.

Objective: The chief purpose of this study was to investigate the nature and prevalence of children's seasonal symptoms. Method: Parental reports of seasonal changes in six mood or behavioral symptoms (sleeping, eating, irritability, energy, withdrawal, and sadness) were surveyed for children living across the United States. The sample included 892 girls (mean age = 10.5 ± 1.0 years) and 788 boys (mean age = 10.6 ± 0.9 years), with a response rate of 46% for girls' parents and 39% for boys' parents. Results: At least one winter recurring symptom was reported in 48.5% of children, as compared with 91% in fall and 10.8% in spring. Winter symptoms were reported equally in girls and boys with one exception ("is tired"); age effects were found for three symptoms only in girls ("sleeps more," "is tired," and "withdraws"). Regional effects showed more winter symptoms reports in northern zones than in southern zones. Conclusions: Given the potential therapeutic benefit of light therapy in children with seasonal patterns, careful assessment of seasonality is merited for children with winter mood and behavior problems.

Traditional Surveillance

People create profiles on social network sites and Twitter accounts against the background of an audience. This paper argues that closely examining content created by others and looking at one’s own content through other people’s eyes, a common part of social media use, should be framed as social surveillance. While social surveillance is distinguished from traditional surveillance along three axes (power, hierarchy, and reciprocity), its effects and behavior modification is common to traditional surveillance. Drawing on ethnographic studies of United States populations, I look at social surveillance, how it is practiced, and its impact on people who engage in it. I use Foucault’s concept of capillaries of power to demonstrate that social surveillance assumes the power differentials evident in everyday interactions rather than the hierarchical power relationships assumed in much of the surveillance literature. Social media involves a collapse of social contexts and social roles, complicating boundary work but facilitating social surveillance. Individuals strategically reveal, disclose and conceal personal information to create connections with others and tend social boundaries. These processes are normal parts of day-to-day life in communities that are highly connected through social media.
