Assessing perceived stress, sleep disturbance, and fatigue among pilot and non-pilot trainees

April 5, 2024

In this study, we conduct an extensive analysis to address a fundamental question: how do stress, sleep disturbance, and fatigue experiences differ between pilots and non-pilot college students? Delving into stress and fatigue levels within these populations contributes to understanding these phenomena and their potential implications for overall well-being and performance.

How individuals’ opinions influence society’s resistance to epidemics: an agent-based model approach

March 24, 2024

Protecting public health from infectious diseases often relies on the cooperation of citizens, especially when self-care interventions are the only viable tools for disease mitigation. Accordingly, social aspects related to public opinion have been studied in the context of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. However, a comprehensive understanding of the effects of opinion-related factors on disease spread still requires further exploration.
