  text: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The ability of various policy activities
    to reduce the reproduction rate of the COVID-19 disease is widely discussed. Using
    a stringency index that comprises a variety of lockdown levels, such as school
    and workplace closures, we analyze the effectiveness of government restrictions.
    At the same time, we investigate the capacity of a range of lockdown measures
    to lower the reproduction rate by considering vaccination rates and testing strategies.
    By including all three components in an SIR (Susceptible, Infected, Recovery)
    model, we show that a general and comprehensive test strategy is instrumental
    in reducing the spread of COVID-19. The empirical study demonstrates that testing
    and isolation represent a highly effective and preferable approach towards overcoming
    the pandemic, in particular until vaccination rates have risen to the point of
    herd immunity.</jats:p>

  text: <jats:p>As cognitive function is critical for muscle coordination, cognitive
    training may also improve neuromuscular control strategy and knee function following
    an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The purpose of this case-control
    study was to examine the effects of cognitive training on joint stiffness regulation
    in response to negative visual stimuli and knee function following ACLR. A total
    of 20 ACLR patients and 20 healthy controls received four weeks of online cognitive
    training. Executive function, joint stiffness in response to emotionally evocative
    visual stimuli (neutral, fearful, knee injury related), and knee function outcomes
    before and after the intervention were compared. Both groups improved executive
    function following the intervention (p = 0.005). The ACLR group had greater mid-range
    stiffness in response to fearful (p = 0.024) and injury-related pictures (p =
    0.017) than neutral contents before the intervention, while no post-intervention
    stiffness differences were observed among picture types. The ACLR group showed
    better single-legged hop for distance after cognitive training (p = 0.047), while
    the healthy group demonstrated no improvement. Cognitive training enhanced executive
    function, which may reduce joint stiffness dysregulation in response to emotionally
    arousing images and improve knee function in ACLR patients, presumably by facilitating
    neural processing necessary for neuromuscular control.</jats:p>
