Summary: This study examines the prospects of post-COVID-19 tourism and the preferences for hotel attributes during this period. The survey findings show that the burden of COVID-19 increases stress levels and the chance of depression, while perceived stress and the benefits of nature significantly influence tourists' preferences for exposure to nature and hotels with biophilic attributes. Based on the data, the study suggests a strong increase in the demand for biophilic buildings in the post-COVID-19 era.

The results showed that while overall stress, anxiety, and burnout decreased over time, each additional exposure to patients being tested for COVID-19 was associated with increased stress, anxiety, and burnout.

Summary: Previous studies have shown that teachers often experience depressive symptoms due to job stress and difficulties in managing emotions. This study aimed to assess the levels of depressive symptoms among secondary school teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic and examine their relationship with burnout and emotional intelligence. The study included 430 teachers in Madrid, Spain, with an age range of 25-60 years. The results indicated high levels of depressive symptoms among teachers, with women scoring higher than men. Significant relationships were found between depressive symptoms, burnout dimensions, and emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence contributed to teachers' depressive symptoms, while only emotional exhaustion was a significant predictor of burnout.
