COVID-19 - Science topic

We are all living in a strange era since last year due to the pandemic of COVID-19, so we are all seeking to find the truth about basic parameters of it.

As everybody knows, any research needs reliable data, so we need data.

But, despite the plethora of available online sets, the critical ones are not always presented publicly.

For example in Greece we do not have online data for next categories, all related to COVID-19:

In Greece we do not have also next data online:

The only available set was next:

Recently a paper about inside and outside ICU mortality was published with correspondent author having next past jobs

(All those jobs were at the same Organization, now called "EODY", which is the Greek CDC for all of you that you do not know the Greek reality)

Not to make you tired:

Thank you for your patient to read such a big test,

I am waiting for your thoughts,

How has language, particularly around the unquestionable authority of 'science' (vs. other domains of inquiry that apply rigorous method but are not generally considered 'science') been used to uphold the military industrial complex and other forms of hegemonic rule by global hyper-elites (the top 0.2% of individuals by personal assets)?

A review of public discourse in periods of great turmoil, such as COVID and the rise of NAZI Germany and possible the periods following The French Revolution are places to understand this dynamic. For example, newspapers, online articles, radio, television and public announcement campaigns around particular government policies, election campaigns, or services by private companies.

This is a complex question that incorporates linguistics theory, political science, sociological research methods that are able to scan databases and the internet for appropriate search terms.

To properly answer the question both philosophical models how power operates in the society, Michel Foucault, Manuel Castello and Noam Chomsky are three thinkers with a range of relevant theories along with data-driven approaches to under the true extent to messaging to individual eyes and ears through a broad range of methods of public discourse.

For my project I am looking for the mRNA sequences of mRNA vaccines that are currently undergoing clinical trails or that are already in use. I know that the sequences of two Covid-19 vaccines are publicly available (https://github.com/NAalytics/Assemblies-of-putative-SARS-CoV2-spike-encoding-mRNA-sequences-for-vaccines-BNT-162b2-and-mRNA-1273/blob/main/Assemblies%20of%20putative%20SARS-CoV2-spike-encoding%20mRNA%20sequences%20for%20vaccines%20BNT-162b2%20and%20mRNA-1273.docx.pdf). Would anyone have sequence information of other mRNA vaccines or know where to find it?

In a recent review article titled “N1-methyl-pseudouridine (m1Ψ): Beneficial or Harmful for Cancer?” published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, Rubio-Casillas, and colleagues discuss how mRNA vaccines may impact immunological pathways, potentially affecting cancer risk. Their research suggests that a high level of N1-methyl-pseudouridine (m1Ψ) in mRNA vaccines could promote cancer growth and metastasis in certain models. This raises concerns about the role of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in cancer development. The authors recommend future clinical trials to explore lower levels of m1Ψ modification to avoid immune suppression. An earlier study by Professor Abdollah Jafarzadeh and team, published in the International Journal of Hematology-Oncology and Stem Cell Research, explores the potential link between SARS-CoV-2 infection and cancer. They found that cancer patients may have a higher susceptibility to COVID-19 due to their compromised immune systems from cancer treatments. Additionally, recovered COVID-19 patients may experience persistent immune abnormalities that could contribute to cancer development or recurrence. In my opinion, these studies highlight the complex interactions between COVID-19 and cancer, suggesting a need for further research to understand and address potential risks associated with the pandemic. I would be grateful if you could provide your insightful opinions on this matter. References: 1. Alberto Rubio-Casillas, David Cowley, Mikolaj Raszek, Vladimir N. Uversky, Elrashdy M.

I want to do phd on mathematical modeling of infectious diseases (eg. Covid 19, maleria, denge). I am also interested in pure mathematics as well like Nonlinear Analysis, Variational Inequalities so my question is can i get any connection between this two part. Need suggestions thank you.

Does anyone knows the pH acceptable range for virus transport medium (VTM) for Sars cov 2 samples? I supose that it depends if you are only testing by PCR or if you need viability for culture but does anyone has experience in this subject?

Found a studie that defends that in normal individuals with no history of reflux or eustachian tube dysfunction, the pH values range from 6.10 to 7.92 with an average pH of 7.03 (SD, 0.67) so i believe that VTM should be buffered around pH 7 (with a variation of plus or minus 1) but need to confirm that.

Thank you and be safe.

Dear Researchers:

Could you please share some simple cures or prevention for COVID-19, Cold, Flu or Influenza, and possibly Other Viruses, and Cancers?

Updates on Oct. 10, 2023: First, many thanks to all contributors to this discussion. Here are some Natural Approaches found from surveying literature in medicine to Boost our Immune Systems against viruses such as COVID-19, Cold, Flu or Influenza infections and to avoid/minimize developing further inflammations in the lungs and hearts caused by some of those viruses:

Give it a try, please! Especially if you increase your Vitamin D level to a required level and consume Vitamin C sources, e.g., oranges, on a daily basis, you can check how rarely you would catch the virus. Or, even after catching the virus, the virus will likely develop very mild symptoms in your body.

1- Daily uptake of Vitamin D pills up to 100 IU per 1 kg weight is safe and very important, recommended by Afshar et al. (2000) and Dr. Hamid Sajjadi in an interview, to RAISE the Vitamin D level in our body to the POINT which is REQUIRED to BOOST our IMMUNE SYSTEMS against Viruses and Diseases including Cancers.

Please read the following article by Afshar et al. (2000) about the importance of vitamin D and the required daily dose of it (Up to 100 IU per 1 kg weight) to boost our Immune Systems.

Please also read the following Review article by Jordan et al. (2022) about the importance of Vitamin D on the level of infection & disease progression for COVID-19. You may find in the article the importance of our Forgotten SUN.

Vitamin D is rarely available in food sources, except in fatty fish which needs to be eaten high enough to get the required amount of Vitamin D for a body.

Another good natural source is daily sunbathing with naked skin; however, in cloudy regions such as Europe, sunbathing doesn't work well.

Vitamin D helps to absorb Calcium in our intestines and thus, in order to avoid excessive absorption of Calcium by our body, it would be better to use Vitamin D pills with Calcium sources such as warmed-up milk and Magnesium sources such as bananas on a daily basis. Because magnesium competes with calcium in our intestines to get absorbed.

Here is a text from A Review article by Kulie et al. (2009) about some of the importance of Vitamin D on our health:

"Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in Bone Metabolism and seems to have some Anti-Inflammatory and Immune-Modulating properties. In addition, recent epidemiologic studies have observed relationships between low vitamin D levels and multiple disease states.

Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased overall and Cardiovascular mortality, Cancer incidence and mortality, and Autoimmune Diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis. Although it is well known that the combination of vitamin D and calcium is necessary to maintain Bone Density as people age, vitamin D may also be an independent risk factor for falls among the Elderly."

2- Having Good Nutrients including Protein sources, Minerals, and Other Vitamins, e.g., C, A, and E, sources from fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts. For example, the good sources of fruits and vegetables for these vitamins could be a daily use of 1-2 Oranges for Vitamin C, Carrots for Vitamin A, and Almonds or Sunflower Seeds for Vitamin E.

As Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, the excess of it will be excreted from the body, it needs to be consumed every day to provide everyday vitamin C requirements for the body, as it is the 2nd most important vitamin after Vitamin D to boost our Immune Systems against viruses and diseases.

And, Vitamin B family from grains, poultry, and meat sources.

3- After the infection by those viruses, gargling salty water to disinfect the throat to avoid further movement of the virus into the lungs as the virus may stay in the throat for a few days

4- Inhaling Steamed Fresh Leaves, if not available, the Oil, of Eucalyptus 4-5 times a day for several continuous days to kill the virus in the lungs.

Here is A Review article by Mieres-Castro et al. (2021) about the "Antiviral Activities of Eucalyptus Essential Oils: Their Effectiveness as Therapeutic Targets against Human Viruses"

Australian Aboriginals are very much using Eucalyptus to Treat Infections.

5- Having plenty of Warm Drinks to wash out the virus from our body and dilute the blood to avoid blood clotting.

6- Having enough sleep and daily activities/exercises

7- Kids are proven to have High Immunity Against COVID-19, likely due to having a high amount of Melatonin, the Sleep Hormone, in their blood. So, that is why kids sleep very much as you know.

Melatonin production in our body usually decreases with increasing age. Thus, we may use daily melatonin pills after the infection based on what physicians may prescribe for us.

Here is A Review article by Carrillo-Vico et al. (2013) about the Importance of Melatonin on the Functionality of Our Immune Systems:

8- Avoid Fear/Panic as it Substantially Deteriorates the Functionality of Immune Systems against viruses and diseases.

Here is an interview by Dr. Lauren Deville about How Fear Affects Our Immune System:

La pandemia ha tenido un gran impacto en todo el mundo, en especial a la economía global. Muchos países han tomado medidas para tratar de disminuir el impacto económico (Programas de ayudas)

After reading an interesting article Wallace J, Goldsmith-Pinkham P, Schwartz JL. Excess Death Rates for Republican and Democratic Registered Voters in Florida and Ohio During the COVID-19 Pandemic. JAMA Intern Med. 2023;183(9):916–923. doi:10.1001/jamainternmed.2023.1154, I rethought my old results. Help me confirm/reject one of the hypotheses of my Citizen Science research. I am not a political scientist and I admit that my results may be the result of a methodological error.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, due to the decline in the economic activity of companies and enterprises in many sectors of the economy, there were opportunities to accelerate the processes of green transformation of the economy, to implement the principles of sustainable economic development, to direct the development of the economy towards the green circular economy model, to achieve the goals of sustainable development, to increase the scale of pro-environmental policies, pro-environmental, pro-climate policy and thus reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce the level of environmental pollution, and in the situation of continuation of these processes in the coming years, it is also to increase the scale of the possibility of implementing the scenario of slowing down the progressive process of global warming, to give humanity more time to prepare for the possible subsequent negative effects of progressive climate change, the developing climate crisis. Some countries have taken advantage of these opportunities, but unfortunately only in some countries.

These issues are presented in the article:

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

What do you think about this topic?

What is your opinion on this issue?

Please answer,

I invite everyone to join the discussion,

Thank you very much,

What is your view in relation to Lean Manufacturing impacting the recovery from COVID19? Can we blame lean for stock less production, which lead to shortages in supply chain? Or is lean going to be a critical factor in the recovery process?

The US Government Comparative Toxicogenomics database shows that Fluoride can inhibit Human immunity to viruses and pneumonia. Angiotensin I-Converting Enzyme (ACE), 2'-5'-Oligoadenylate Synthetase 1 (OAS1) and Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 (ICAM1) are included as susceptible epigenetic targets of the poison.

Wuhan is an area with high Fluoride exposure from atmospheric and groundwater pollution.

Are there more studies linking virus outbreaks or mutations with Fluoride?

Hello, I am working on tourism data (tourism income and tourism arrivals) and the seasonality is very high as expected. I would like to apply Census X-13 method for the seasonality adjustment; however, all datasets have 0 (zero) value for 2020M04 and 2020M05 observations due to Covid-19 restrictions. How can I solve this problem? Is it okay if I only put “1” for these missing values then apply Census X-13? Or do you recommend a better option? I appreciate your help.

In Poland, during the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic, the government introduced a large amount of additional printed money into the economy from April 2020, which was introduced off-budget in a procedure specially created for this purpose. The central bank also participated in the procedure, buying additional new series of Treasury bonds issued by the Treasury directly. The printed money was introduced into the economy through special purpose funds created mainly in government-controlled institutions, such as the Polish Development Fund and Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, among others. A large amount of the printed money thus went to government-controlled state-owned companies, including, among others, the monopolistically operating large companies in the energy, fuel and mining sectors, which contribute to the leading part of the national energy industry, which produces energy mainly on the basis of dirty combustion energy, i.e. on the basis of burning fossil fuels. In Poland, still thanks to government subsidies, more than 3/4 of energy is generated from burning fossil fuels. If the subsidies provided from governments to the combustion power sector since the 1990s had fueled the development of renewable and emission-free energy, Poland would now be a modern and energy-secure country, where most of the energy would now be produced by clean renewable energy. With the aforementioned subsidies, several large nuclear power plants, many wind farms and thousands of solar installations could have been built. Unfortunately, the government preferred to be in comity with the unions operating in coal mines, lignite mines, power and fuel companies in order to support the development of combustion energy and inhibit and block the development of renewable and carbon-free energy. Thanks to the topic that hard coal is sourced from deep-sea high methane mines in the country, the government has been subsidizing coal mining for many years with many billions of zlotys. Surcharging was a permanent part of this pseudo-business, since mining had already been permanently loss-making, unprofitable for many years. In addition, thanks to the government's comity with the aforementioned trade unions, the level of wages in the loss-making fossil fuel extraction sector was high and growing despite the declining business efficiency of these companies. Since the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic, more than 300 billion in added PLN has been injected extra-budgetarily into the economy. According to some estimates compiled by scientific institutes independent of the government, this is even an amount of about 400 billion PLN. The printed money was introduced into the economy on the basis of specially introduced for this purpose regulations, covid laws, on the basis of which, on the one hand, lockdowns were introduced, temporarily excluding from real economic activity many companies, mainly service sectors. On the other hand, on the basis of covid laws introduced specifically for this purpose, printed money was transferred to the majority of companies and enterprises operating in the economy as subsidies to pay fixed costs and surcharges on salaries of employed workers on the condition that employment was maintained. Non-repayable said financial subsidies were also given to many companies and enterprises, including state-owned companies, whose business activities were not subject to lockdowns. Since in recent years the annual budget of the state is about 500 billion PLN so the estimated scale of the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus printed since the pandemic almost matches the mentioned amount. This was possible because the introduction of covid-based regulations into the economy of printed money continued until the parliamentary elections held on 15.10.2023 despite the fact that the pandemic ended much earlier. The magnitude of the negative impact on the community and on the economy quickly began to decline as early as January 2021, when a mass vaccination program was introduced on the basis of millions of coronavirus vaccines purchased by the government from several pharmaceutical companies. However, the practice of injecting printed money into the economy on the basis of covid regulations continued. The result was an increase in inflation as early as Q2. 2021. Inflation in Poland grew so fast that it was one of the highest in Europe from 2021 to 2023. With the aim of fighting inflation from October 2021, the central bank, i.e. the National Bank of Poland, rapturously began to raise interest rates. Raptly because surprising most financial analysts and economists with this action, since only two months earlier the president of the National Bank of Poland had assured during press conferences that these increases would begin in a year at the earliest. As a result, many citizens at the time took out extremely cheap long-term mortgages and business loans. Since, contrary to the banking standards of Western countries in Poland, for many years more than 90 percent of long-term loans were granted by commercial banks at variable interest rates, shifting the risk of interest rate changes to borrowers, so when the central bank raised interest rates, commercial banks quickly raised the oproc. of loans, including those previously granted, and slowly raised the oproc. of deposits and other bank investment products. Thus, the central bank's raising of interest rates had a very weak anti-inflationary effect and a fast and strong deconflationary effect. This was due to the rapidly declining creditworthiness of borrowers and falling investment levels in many sectors of the economy. For example, in the construction sector in Q3 2022, the level of investment fell by more than two-thirds on an annual basis. Because Poland's central bank raised the key benchmark interest rate from an interventionist, pandemic, anti-crisis level of 0.1 percent to 6.75 percent during the one-year period from the beginning of October 2021 to September 2022, so borrowing during the period of record, interventionist-low interest rates rapidly became more expensive. The period of the aforementioned interventionist, record-low interest rates lasted as long as a year and a half, and, according to assurances from the central bank governor, was expected to last much longer. As a result, the scale of mortgages and economic loans taken out at the time grew rapidly. When the central bank raised interest rates to a significant degree, the installments on repaid loans also increased significantly. For loans taken out at interventionist low interest rates, loan installments in the fall of 2022 were already more than double what they were at the beginning of the loan repayment. In addition, in 2022, producer inflation in some months was even more than 10 percent higher than consumer inflation. This was due to rapidly rising prices of energy and industrial raw materials, prefabricated products, semi-finished goods, wages and other production factors. Enterprises and companies, by passing on the increase in the prices of production factors to the prices of the products they sold, generated record high profits on the one hand and added to the rapidly rising inflation on the other. Commercial banks also generated record profits from mid-2021 onward as the central bank rapidly raised lending opc. rates and much slower deposit rates as interest rates rose. Despite the fact that the central bank had already stopped raising interest rates at 6.75 percent (the basic reference rate) in September 2022, the rate of economic growth was declining rapidly, the downturn was worsening and, interestingly, despite the Central Statistical Office showing no significant increase in unemployment. This happened because entrepreneurs converted full-time employment to part-time employment for many of their employees, and/or forced some of their employed staff to switch to self-employment in the setting up of sole proprietorships, i.e., establishing a sort of mini-company with which they continued to work. In this way, most of the large banks and companies have significantly improved their economic and financial situation since the pandemic, while most citizens have become poorer. For most citizens, the level of real wages, the level of savings since the pandemic has dropped significantly. Even the increase in wages in the corporate sector since Q2 2022 no longer compensated for the decline in the purchasing value of money as a result of high inflation. In addition, despite the fact that the central bank in Poland stopped relatively early, more than a year earlier than the Federal Reserve Bank and the European Central Bank to continue raising interest rates at the aforementioned level of 6.75 percent, Poland's economy went into recession in the 1st half of 2023. According to recently published data by the Central Statistical Office, Poland's recession reached 0.6 percent in April 2023. It is interesting to note that the Polish economy in 2023 experienced one of the highest downturns compared to other European Union countries, and this despite the government's continued social programs, electricity price subsidies, reduced VAT on food since the pandemic, and previously also on motor fuels (until December 2022). Despite soft fiscal policy and the government subsidy programs being developed, financed from the state's public finance system, Poland has experienced a recession. The government's energy price subsidies are due to the fact that the government was planning its re-election in the parliamentary elections, which took place in October 2023. This was one of many financial shielding instruments for citizens, which was intended to provide short-term, ad hoc some relief for citizens from rising household maintenance bills before the parliamentary elections. On the other hand, if the government's energy price subsidy system had not been in place then market energy prices would have been the highest in Poland. They would have been the highest due to the fact that Poland's energy production is extremely expensive, and mainly based on dirty combustion energy. This is a result of the government's restriction and blocking of the development of renewable and emission-free energy sources. The procedure of limiting the development of renewable energy sources and subsidizing dirty combustion energy from the system of state finances since the 1990s. While the procedure of blocking the development of renewable and emission-free energy sources, including onshore wind power since 2016 and solar power since April 2022. The result is a low level of energy security of the energy sector in Poland and some of the highest costs of energy production, not only against the background of the European Union, but also on a global scale. The lack of undertaken, necessary investments in new energy technologies, the limited scale of investments in the development of clean, renewable and emission-free energy, on the basis of which energy could now be produced in the cheapest way, is one of the key determinants limiting economic development, including the prospective development of the Polish economy. In view of the above, in recent years Poland has had an exceptionally chaotic, short-sighted pseudo-economic policy, which led, among other things, to the fact that Poland experienced a recession in Q2 2023. In April 2023, the CSO showed a 0.6 percent recession. In addition, the pseudo-economic policies pursued in recent years have resulted in a large increase in the debt of the state's public finance system. Citizens have finally noticed how irrationally the aforementioned pseudo-economic policies have been carried out in recent years, and voted overwhelmingly against the incumbent government in the parliamentary elections held on 15/10/2023. Perhaps the new government will repair all that has been destroyed in the Polish economy in recent years. Perhaps the new government will restore rationality, pro-social, pro-climate, pro-environmental, etc. in terms of its economic policies.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

We perceive a different form of content production on Instagram of universities since the Covid-19 pandemic to the present day. Is it a legacy of strategic communication odopted by communicators from that period?

Any idea?

There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that there is an association between ABO blood group and COVID-19 susceptibility and severity.

* tell me the susceptibility of ABO blood group effected by the covid-19?

It would have been controversial to raise questions about the Vaccination-Vitiligo link while the Pandemic was raging. Now that the Pandemic is under control, we must seek the truth.

There are plenty of articles I could locate with Google Scholar reporting incidents that suggest there is a link. For instance,

Vitiligo is recognized as an auto-immune phenomenon. Vaccinations, in general, have been associated with auto-immune reactions.

There have been two new cases of vitiligo among my acquaintances in the last two years. In both cases, the person involved had taken Covid-19 vaccinations.

A major epidemiological study is called for. The study should also cover possible associations with gender, age, ethnicity, socio-economic factors, and nutritional factors so that we will understand conditions under which a causative phenomenon is identified.

In the times of COVID19 pandemic when most of the academics and research have shifted to online and distance mode, I wonder if there are postdoc positions available without the restriction of being physically present in the lab/ university. Any suggestions or links to open position advertisements can help me in grabbing a postdoc position.

White Lung Syndrome: Is it just a deteriorated immunity from infection and reinfection with COVID19? OR Is it a coinfection with COVID19 and Mycoplasma pneumoniae?

1. With clusters of cases of respiratory illnesses among children, whether the symptoms of current epidemic resemble typical mycoplasma infections?

Mycoplasma leading to pneumonia by mass infections?

2. With undiagnosed childhood pneumonia, what does it convey with symptoms having high-fever (temperatures exceeding 40 degrees C) and lung-inflammation (and continuous coughing for over a month)?

Translating from upper respiratory tract infection to pneumonia very quickly? Not a conventional Mycoplasma infection? No more a usual pathogen (and, possibly a new variant of COVID19)?

3. Do we have a clear etiology and scope of this outbreak (epidemiological and clinical information), where unusual number of children getting affected so rapidly?

4. Does white-lungs (extensive white areas in the lungs on an X-Ray – indicating widespread pathological changes in the lungs) deserve special attention now? Can Mycoplasma pneumonia cause white lung?

5. Is it just a mixed-infection (multiple pathogens getting infected @ same time; or, multiple pathogens getting infected one after another); and not a cross-infection (with other respiratory diseases)?

6. As the immune system needs to fight against upper respiratory tract infections for those kids, who get infected with Mycoplasma pneumonia, won’t the immune system will be under severe stress, when the kids also have a fever and a severe cough?

Now, what exactly (which new virus) causes another infection that could possibly invade the lower respiratory tract of the kid, and which eventually, enter the lungs?

Whether the presence of new virus, if any, keep interacting with other respiratory tracts; or, this new virus gets along well with the bacteria of mycoplasma pneumonia (which severely damages the body’s immune system) – leading to inflammatory infiltration or white lungs?

What was the misinformation effect of conspiracy speculations during COVID-19 pandemic?

Study showed, when only 4.6% of population believed coronavirus was of a natural origin, irrational, denying and hesitant health behavior spread widely across nation.

Good day everyone,

My name is Phil- a medical student at Dalhousie University.

I'm investigating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on presentations of asthma exacerbations to the Halifax Infirmary, and hoping to publish it to Cureus.

I'm looking for 5 folks to provide emails to potentially peer review the article- would anyone be able to help out with this please?

Thank you!

Kindly mention the types of microRNA.

I can't publish my review article on SARS-CoV-2 and I'm concerned that it may have become outdated.

Is social media use a predictor of poor academic performance? According to Pew Research (2021), “adults ages 18 to 29 say they ever use any social media sites, which is similar to the share of those ages 30 to 49.” Specifically, college-aged students self-reported using Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok over other platforms. The majority self-reported using these services daily, often several times a day. One particular study used artificial intelligence to analyze student profiles as a predictor for success. They found students who remained engaged showed a higher predictor for continuous success, whereas at-risk students were difficult to course-correct, even with over a month remaining before their final marks. With social media use growing exponentially during and following the COVID-19 pandemic, can we correlate this growth as a predictor for student success in the classroom?

Artificial intelligence could have a significant impact on individuals, businesses, and governments. Here is what countries need to know about the benefits—and the first steps toward realizing them. The long-term potential of AI to change key aspects of the way we live and to support the operation of businesses, governments, and other organizations is hard to grasp. But even today, existing and proven AI applications can potentially create value for economies and societies around the world. Indeed, AI has contributed to improvements in quality of life for all segments of society through innovations such as predictive healthcare, adaptive education, and optimized crisis response.

The National Health Service in the United Kingdom, for instance, set up a National COVID-19 Chest Imaging Database containing a shared library of chest X-rays, CT scans, and MRI images to support the testing and development of AI technologies to treat COVID-19 and a variety of other health conditions. Businesses have seen increased productivity and operational efficiency through the use of autonomous robotics in manufacturing, AI-optimized supply chains, and intelligent cargo routing with autonomous vehicles, among other initiatives. For example, many logistics companies are using AI-powered sorting robots to optimize their warehouse operations. Governments can also harness the power of AI through personalized services and automated processes. Consider Singapore’s “Ask Jamie,” a virtual assistant that helps citizens and businesses navigate government services across roughly 70 government agencies through AI-powered chat and voice.

What was covid 19?

What impact did it have on businesses?

How can we evaluate the impact that covid 19 had on the economy

I plan to do research in this field, studying factors that explain the performance of insurance firms during the recent pandemic.

Covid19 caught us by surprise. The previous comparable event had happened 100 years earlier and it had been named the Spanish flu, and it probably killed more people than World War I. The 1919 lessons learnt by health policy makers such as the US cities and European governments had been long forgotten.

This time, it's 2023, and the Covid years, which are not over, have left a clear memory. We have no excuse, not to go prepared.

What about behavioural economists, looking at the exchange of value, time, tasks, anything, in human groups?

What can they tell us, of practical and explanatory interest for the next wave of Covid, or ahead of a similar event?

Behavioural economics scenarios and the pandemic

Can I suggest to look back at the micro-problem replicated a large number of times worldwide, where each household had to self-manage meals, schooling the children, etc. Trade-offs happened at high frequency between the members of the household, seen as agents in a behavioral nano-economy of the house...

What do you consider worthwhile for planning the next wave each household likely to have to isolate for while, at least now and then?

Let me share the assessment and model developed for the case of Covid19 "household lockdown":

The global COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic, which was caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has resulted in a significant loss of human life around the world. The SARS-CoV-2 has caused significant problems to medical systems and healthcare facilities due to its unexpected global expansion. Despite all of the efforts, developing effective treatments, diagnostic techniques, and vaccinations for this unique virus is a top priority and takes a long time. However, the foremost step in vaccine development is to identify possible antigens for a vaccine. The traditional method was time taking, but after the breakthrough technology of reverse vaccinology (RV) was introduced in 2000, it drastically lowers the time needed to detect antigens ranging from 5–15 years to 1–2 years. The different RV tools work based on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). Models based on AI and ML have shown promising solutions in accelerating the discovery and optimization of new antivirals or effective vaccine candidates. In the present scenario, AI has been extensively used for drug and vaccine research against SARS-COV-2 therapy discovery. This is more useful for the identification of potential existing drugs with inhibitory human coronavirus by using different datasets. The AI tools and computational approaches have led to speedy research and the development of a vaccine to fight against the coronavirus. Therefore, this paper suggests the role of artificial intelligence in the field of clinical trials of vaccines and clinical practices using different tools.

How do I share a public link of my paper in the network?

I got the journal permission to share the following link of my recent paper

How do I share it technically?

Sincerely

I want to build a phylogenetic tree of data of sequencing of dengue, but I don't have experience in that, I had had the experience in SARS-CoV-2, in that case I used my sequences (query), the sequence more related to my query (using Audacity Instant in GISAID) and the references sequences, all these were my dataset (for SARS-CoV-2), but for dengue is there a program similar to Audacity instant? Any recommendation?

Thanks for any opinion.

Is it not lowering the quality of education? What has been the purpose of exam invigilation over the years before the COVID-19 pandemic? Will their degrees be authentic? Will they not be half-baked? Is it not an online copy-paste game? What do you think?

HRM practices have been hugely affected by the pandemic across the globe. Is there any possibility of a change in the practices in the expected POST-COVID-19 era? Are we going to resort to our old and/ traditional HRM practices? What is your take on this as a practitioner or academic? Kindly share your thoughts with us, thank you.

My study is on the events of the historical change to HRM practices during and post COVID-19 respective organizations

The World Health Organization is investigating a new COVID variant called “Arcturus,” which is likely causing a new surge of cases in at least 34 countries. The subvariant of Omicron, XBB.1.16, has been named “Arcturus” by SARS-CoV-2 variant trackers and is very similar to the U.S. dominant “Kraken” XBB.1.5, which is the most transmissible COVID variant yet, according to Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO's COVID-19 Technical Lead, at a news conference on March 29, 2023.

Arguably, the omnipresent Omicron may have thrown the WHO's COVID-19 variant naming system into disarray. Omicron's rapid growth has made it increasingly difficult for ordinary people to keep up with the dizzying array of subvariants it has created. The WHO originally intended to simplify public communications by assigning Greek letters to variants it deemed threatening. For example, the WHO classified “Kraken” XBB.1.5 and “Arcturus” XBB.1.16 as Variants of Interest (VOIs) on January 11 and April 17 of this year, respectively. However, because “Kraken”, “Arcturus”, and "Centaurus" (BA.2.75, a Variants Under Monitoring (VUM)) are Latinized words, they would cause the WHO's Greek naming scheme per se to fall apart.

I'm expecting to use stock prices from the pre-covid period up to now to build a model for stock price prediction. I doubt regarding the periods I should include for my training and test set. Do I need to consider the pre-covid period as my training set and the current covid period as my test set? or should I include the pre-covid period and a part of the current period for my training set and the rest of the current period as my test set?

In one work, suppose multi-disease (skin cancer, covid-19, Monkeypox, and lung disease) data analysis and disease prediction, I used 5 ML models (KNN, GB, RF, SVM, and Ada boost) after pre-processing steps (data cleaning, encoding, missing value handling, outliers handling, feature engineering, etc.) now while analyzing the model performances I want to use statistical test on our ML models. I found no previous works that work on the same kind of dataset instead most of them worked on similar types of disease (i.e. Lung cancer (3 types) = 11, 12, 13) detection. I want to know, (1) How can I compare my work outcomes with others as they not using similar data? (2) When applying the statistical test will be appropriate? (3) Why should I use it? (4) How can I perform statistical tests for my work?

There is an abundance of new scientific literature that has been published (over the past year and a half) on new clinical research developments of electronic-nose (e-nose), or artificial olfaction and related technologies, for the early detection and diagnosis of Covid-19 coronavirus infections in human patients. This question centers around the idea of whether any of these research approaches have actually been further developed (beyond proof of concept) to the extent that new diagnostic methods (based on e-nose instruments) are already being used in clinical practice. I am not looking for literature (published research) on experimental trials, but rather actual examples of clinical uses (locations of medical facilities and technologies used) that have already been implemented in a known clinical setting or for point-of-care testing (POCT).

To date, the human cost of coronavirus (COVID-19) is more than 13 000000 infections, and more than 570000 death worldwide. The economic cost so far has been staggering. Many economies almost come to a halt. The impact on supply, demand, the financial market is affecting both larger and smaller firms. However, SMEs are at a disadvantage due to limited resources, existing obstacles in securing capital, and the span of time over which they can survive this pandemic compared to the larger firms.

How SMEs and new start-ups are going to handle this pandemic? Can they survive it or a great majority of them will go out of business? Should the government step in to help?

Since the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic, many governments and private organizations allocated large sums of money to fund projects dealing with various areas related to this virus. The vaccine is the most prominent area but detection, caring and monitoring of the patients revealed that the current medical equipment is not adequate and sufficient. Are these funding going to lead to invention or innovation? have you seen any report of innovation in medical technology in your community?

Economics of different countries is collapsed because of COVID-19. What you think? What will be the opportunities of funding at higher studies after this Pandemic? Please share your thoughts regarding this issue. Your valuable thoughts will be highly appreciated.

What kinds of problems did healthcare workers experience using protective equipment during the COVID-19 outbreak?

What kind of problems did the healthcare professionals experience regarding the supply of materials during the treatment and care of the patient during the covid-19 outbreak?

Have nurses used innovative practices in care? Could you share the innovation examples in nursing used in this process?

During the COVID-19 epidemic, nurses working in a hospital setting may be physically, mentally, socially, ethically, etc. what kind of problems does he have?

We need your scientific research and help with the answers to these questions in order to share them with healthcare nurses.

Hi all,

Can you tell us how COVID 19 has triggered most of the innovative processes in the public and private sectors during this period of uncertainty? and from the non-profit sector? in your country?

If not approved then how we have come to know approved for working of covid 19 patients or by research through research journals.

If trial details of recovered patients after application? Is it like antiviral vaccines or antibiotic. Is it possible to working like Ramdesiver blood clotting.

This RG open question is linked to the previous about the dramatic evolution (partly unexplainable) of COVID19 in Northern Italy during wave 1.

The previous RG open question is reported below🔴 and resulted in a completely alternative model for the evolution🟨 of SARS-CoV/2 from pre-pandemic phase to pandemic phase.

In this specific RG question, the intention is to create an open discussion on the possible emergence of a violent outbreak of avian flu or similar in central Europe.

This concern arises from a qualitative model that links three events which in the past have always characterized the violent explosion of a bird flu or similar.

The model involves three steps.. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/367046404

This RG open question will serve to accumulate data both for and against this dire possibility.

Thanks to all the participants.

My research paper aims to address three key research questions that focus on exploring the specific legal implications of COVID-19 on the international sale of goods and understanding how international trade laws and agreements have adapted to the challenges brought about by the pandemic.

1. What are the specific legal implications of COVID-19 on the international sale of goods?

The size of the protein is 154KDa his-tagged. I have tried inducing with 0.5mM IPTG for 4hrs at 37 degrees. I have tried different strains BL21-De3 Gene X, shuffle T7, and artic but still no expression. I have also tried 25 degrees overnight. Any suggestions might be helpful.

Hello all, appreciate your help as it is much needed. I am trying to understand whether my thesis should be a research paper or a case study. I want to study the effects of disruptive events of global supply chains and then focus on the retrospective of one company. Is this automatically a case study, or can I follow the structure of a research with literature review on the overall problem and then focus on interviewing points of contact of said company to gather my findings and propose a management model to help the company respond to disruption in the supply chain?

Thank you

In recent years, number of vaccine have been approved to fight against Covid-19, list of approved is available at FDA site. We are looking for sequence of these vaccine (RNA sequence in case of mRNA vaccines and amino acid sequence in case of protein based vaccines. I will highly appreciate help of community in searching sequence of vaccines.
