Abstract
These are certainly challenging times! John Lewis, a United States statesman and civil rights leader wrote:
“Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”
His statement echoes Margaret Mead’s famous sta-tement, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has”.
Mead and Lewis’s words inspire me to be a scholar activist; to be optimistic and to let my voice be heard. We are a large, globe-spanning community of concerned citizens, scientists, researchers, practitioners, and students. Use your voice in your scholarly writings and the day-to-day leadership activities to make a difference. Imagine what we can do!
This issue contains 27 manuscripts on a variety of topics such as a pilot study on seafarers’ well-being in the context of the pandemic, the prevalence and predictors of return to work among Jordanian stroke survivors, the comparison between sitting and standing postures when using a smartphone, sleep before and after work-related concussion among many other interesting subjects including four COVID-19 commentaries.
