Several Coronaviruses have caused serious problems in humans. In early March, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the Corona Virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic. COVID-19 is a new strain of coronavirus and scientists are still collecting information and conducting research on the virus. Vaccination is the most effective strategy to protect the population from COVID-19 infection and several vaccines have been approved against the disease globally. But, the knowledge and attitude towards COVID-19 vaccination among general community people are very poorly understood.

Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy of people with migratory backgrounds among Turkish- and German-speaking patients in Munich. Methods Primary outcomes were the intention to get vaccinated for COVID-19 and COVID-19 knowledge levels (25 true/false items). Other variables included demographics, attitudes to COVID-19 and vaccination (7 items), and behaviors regarding COVID-19 (7 items). The attitude and behavior questions had 5-point Likert scales. Of the 10 Turkish-speaking family physicians in Munich, six agreed to administer Turkish or German questionnaires to consecutive patients in February 2021. Furthermore, participants with either citizenship, country of origin, native language, or place of birth being non-German were categorized as “Having a migratory background.” Data from 420 respondents were analyzed. Results Women constituted 41.4% (n = 174), the mean age was 42.2 ± 15.5 years, 245 (58.3%) preferred the Turkish questionnaire, 348 (82.9%) had a migratory background, and 197 (47.9%) intended to be vaccinated. The mean knowledge, attitude, and behavioral scores were 21.5 ± 3.2 (max = 25), 3.7 ± 0.8 (max = 5), and 4.0 ± 0.5 (max = 5). While 42.3% (n = 145) of the participants with a migratory background considered getting vaccinated, this proportion was 76.5% (n = 52) for non-immigrant Germans (Chi-square = 26.818, p < 0.001). Non-migratory background (odds ratio (OR): 3.082), high attitude scores (OR: 2.877), male sex (OR: 2.185), years of schooling (OR: 1.064), and age (OR: 1.022) were positively associated with vaccination intention. Conclusions We suggest initiating or supporting projects run by persons or groups with immigrant backgrounds to attempt to elaborate and change their vaccination attitudes.

In spite of all the short-comings, the level of protection of rights and capabilities of people with disabilities has become a good indicator of nation’s development, and such a trend is nothing but hopeful. At the same time, one can hardly imagine that this high attitude would be attainable without the influence of left liberal ideologies, that among omnibus achievements granted the shift from medical to social disabilities model.This situation cannot stand but to resemble in a certain state of rights and capabilities exercise, and even the availability of access to the key resources is impossible to bring to the point of marginalization of the mental and physical health problems. As the analyzed material shows, left liberal ideologists,being responsible for shaping the current International Law on Persons with Disabilities, finally succeeded in promoting their principle ideas in the nation case-law. The right to water, lay down on the ship’s practice, as you will look lower, you can use the clever illustration of that relief flow, as the national judiciary can fix the development of the rights and capabilities of individuals from the same basis.The article further develops the idea, that national courts sometimes tend to use realistic approach (as invented by R. Pound, J. Llewellyn, O.W. Holmes) for the sake of implementing the social model of disability. It has been concluded that legal realism is a transmitter for left liberal values in the modern western societies.

The article analyzes the directions of the formation of humanistic values in higher education institutions. The results of the study showed that students have a high attitude to humanistic values, regardless of the level of self-affirmation and self-esteem. The main mechanisms of formation of humanistic values in students depend on the provocative features of social values, which occupy a dominant place in the hierarchy of values and professional self-confidence, which reflects the integrated qualities of the individual. It was found that there is a positive correlation between humanistic qualities and personal qualities and academic achievements.  There is an important connection between self-awareness, self-esteem, self-assertion and a social ideal that reflects humanistic qualities in students. It can be concluded that in order to develop humanistic values, it is necessary to develop socially important values and personality traits. Here it is necessary to take into account the cognitive needs, opportunities for self-affirmation, as well as learning achievements.

Biomedical scientists (BMSs) are important professionals for healthcare services as they help in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of numerous diseases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to assess ergonomics knowledge, attitude, and practice among BMSs. A cross-sectional study was carried out among BMSs using a self-constructed questionnaire. The association between these parameters and various risk factors was measured using the Chi-square test. The study included 110 BMSs. Females represented 68.2% and 45.5% were in the age of 25-34. Good ergonomics knowledge showed in 54.5% and 82.7% showed high positive attitude. However, poor ergonomics showed in 83.5%. There was no significant interrelation between the three parameters. A significant association was found between the male gender (0.040), more than 20 working experience (0.016), and good ergonomics practice. Biomedical scientists have good knowledge, high attitude but the poor practice of ergonomics. Ergonomics training and practice should be firmly enhanced among these healthcare professionals.

This study aims to analyze the effect of teaching methods using problem solving and conventional on population knowledge. The research was conducted experimentally with a 2x2 factorial design on 80 students consisting of 40 students having a high attitude, and 40 students having a low attitude at the Junior High School 2 Tambun Selatan-Bekasi. Data collection regarding population knowledge was carried out using an objective test instrument with the answer choices True (B) with a score of 1 and False (S) with a score of 0. The data were analyzed by means of two-way analysis of variance, and the Tukey test. Research results There are differences in population knowledge learning outcomes between students who are given problem solving teaching methods and students who are given conventional teaching methods; There is an interaction between teaching methods and students' attitudes towards population knowledge; Study groups that have high and low attitudes have higher population knowledge learning outcomes when given problem solving teaching methods compared to students who are given conventional teaching methods. The implication is that teachers in teaching must always build a high attitude in the classroom so that positive interactions occur in the teaching and learning process by using various learning methods.
