“…Similarly, past research also addressed that to protect their positive resources; employees are more likely to exhibit withdrawal behaviors and lower levels of commitment when the level of job resources supported by the organizations is low (Demerouti et al, 2001 ; Bakker et al, 2003 ; Yildiz et al, 2017 ). Thus, policy interventions should seek to alleviate the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic through institutional innovation (Palalar Alkan et al, 2022 ) and organizational support (Cicek et al, 2021 ; Greenhalgh et al, 2022 ). Such innovation could come in the form of improving conditions for WE even when draconian measures are taken at the national level to curb worker agency and power to take leave, breaks, and even preventative measures to protect themselves, their families, and the public (Greenhalgh et al, 2022 ).…”

BackgroundStudies conducted in the health sector have determined a positive relationship between job satisfaction and work engagement. However, this paper reveals that this relationship turns into a negative or non-significant relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic. We explore the reasons for inconsistency in research findings in this critical period through a meta-analysis.MethodsThis study was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines and PICO framework. Online databases including Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, ProQuest, Google Scholar, and additional records from other databases were searched without any time limitation, and all studies published in English that reported the correlation between work engagement and job satisfaction were included in the analysis. In total, 36 individual correlation coefficients were synthesized. R statistical language was used to analyze the data.ResultA total of 36 studies with a sample size of 16,087 were synthesized. The overall effect size was found as r = 0.57 (95% CI [0.50–0.64]). While the moderating effect of national culture was not statistically significant, presence of COVID-19 as the significant moderator explained 37.08% of effect size heterogeneity. Such that the presence of COVID-19 has transformed the positive relationship between work engagement and job satisfaction into a negative but statistically non-significant relationship.ConclusionThis study empirically challenges the existing assumptions about the positive link between work engagement and job satisfaction. The results of the research can be a guide for managers and policymakers. Specifically, based on these results, different mechanisms can be put in place to support work engagement and, in turn, job satisfaction in the COVID-19 process.

“…Policy on masking in schools must be considered in the context of UK policy on masking more generally, which was characterised by competing scientific narratives, policy inertia, and public conflict (especially around government mandated encroachments on individual 'freedoms'). 54 Masks for the public were initially depicted as having unproved efficacy for preventing transmission and as potentially harmful fomites. Powerful pressure groups, including the parent group Us for Them, campaigned against masking of children.…”

“…In order to ensure the rule implementation, each school is trying to search for the best way, such as using partition or TV animation even in 2022 ( Figures 1C , D ). In the early stage of the pandemic, droplet infection was thought highly threatening, and measures aimed at an assumed droplet pathogen were over-emphasized ( 22 ). The mokusyoku rule was thought to be a remnant of that time, the same as surrounding individuals with panels ( Figures 1C , E ).…”

It is everyone's desire to seek the sound growth of children through food education and there is a critical need for fostering an environment for this purpose. Health policies are important for this support. To the present, the Japanese society has been greatly disrupted by COVID-19 pandemic. “Stay at home”, “mokusyoku (silent eating)”, and mask wearing were encouraged in nationwide campaigns as public health measures to combat COVID-19. There are some papers reporting negative effects of “stay at home” and lockdowns such as weight gain, decrease in physical activities and change in eating habits. In Japan, while benefits and advantages of food education during mealtime were previously well studied, the “mokusyoku” rule may directly run counter to this food education. Moreover, there are several reports showing that nutrients might contribute to prevention of infectious diseases. Japanese children were also encouraged to wear masks all day long. The results of the clinical research, especially randomized control trials, show limited protective effect of masks. On the other hand, negative outcomes of the masks were reported in various scenes. This review focuses on these topics and arousing reconsideration for a better environment for children.
