Title A name given to the resource The social response to the measures taken to confront COVID-19 in Camagüey Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Norbis Diaz Campos, María Elena Macías Llanes, Leimis Reyes Vasconcelos Description An account of the resource Introduction. The investigation pursues the objective of determining the social response to the measures taken to confront COVID-19 in the province of Camagüey. Classified as research-development of the Center for the Development of Social and Humanistic Sciences in Health, it was carried out in the period from April - July 2020. Material and methods. The assisted questionnaire was used to collect information on the social response to the disease. It was applied in unison in the territory in the period from May 5 to June 30, when Camagüey had not yet passed to the first recovery phase, the criterion was to assign quotas to cover all the municipalities of the province and apply in the population randomly. Based on the measures taken of social isolation, the active research of the students and professors of the University of Medical Sciences was used to collect information. The final sample was made up of 603 people surveyed. Results. The surveyed population valued the effort and political will and considered the response to the confrontation of the disease adequate, the actions of the various institutions in the confrontation with COVID-19 were also considered adequate. Discussion. It is significant that the subjects who participated in the study recognized problems with compliance with isolation and social responsibility, with the equitable distribution of resources and the need to strengthen social control measures in the face of social indiscipline.

Title A name given to the resource Big Data Analysis of Korean Travelers’ Behavior in the Post-COVID-19 Era Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Yun-A Sung, Kyung-Won Kim, Hee-Ju Kwon Description An account of the resource : Due to the spread of COVID-19 worldwide in 2020, the tourism industry is facing a calamitous crisis as migration and travel between the countries has been restricted. The purpose of this study is to explore changes in Korean tourism behavior after COVID-19. Korean social media data was collected from the World Health Organization’s declaration of a public health emergency of international concern, in January 2020, to August 2020, the summer vacation season. Keywords were extracted via text mining, and the current perspectives of Koreans concerning tourism that manifest content analysis were investigated. In addition, UCINET 6 was used to visualize related words by conducting centrality analysis, CONCOR (CONvergent CORrelation) analysis, and semantic system network analysis. The analysis showed that Korean tourists have increased their preference for domestic travel, and showed interest in government subsidies. Korean tourists also showed greater interest in eco-trips and gourmet trips. Although this study is limited to Korea, it can be used as a regional strategy.

Title A name given to the resource Towards computer-aided severity assessment via deep neural networks for geographic and opacity extent scoring of SARS-CoV-2 chest X-rays Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource A. Wong, Z. Q. Lin, L. Wang, A. G. Chung, B. Shen, A. Abbasi, M. Hoshmand-Kochi, T. Q. Duong Description An account of the resource Abstract A critical step in effective care and treatment planning for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the cause for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, is the assessment of the severity of disease progression. Chest x-rays (CXRs) are often used to assess SARS-CoV-2 severity, with two important assessment metrics being extent of lung involvement and degree of opacity. In this proof-of-concept study, we assess the feasibility of computer-aided scoring of CXRs of SARS-CoV-2 lung disease severity using a deep learning system. Data consisted of 396 CXRs from SARS-CoV-2 positive patient cases. Geographic extent and opacity extent were scored by two board-certified expert chest radiologists (with 20+ years of experience) and a 2nd-year radiology resident. The deep neural networks used in this study, which we name COVID-Net S, are based on a COVID-Net network architecture. 100 versions of the network were independently learned (50 to perform geographic extent scoring and 50 to perform opacity extent scoring) using random subsets of CXRs from the study, and we evaluated the networks using stratified Monte Carlo cross-validation experiments. The COVID-Net S deep neural networks yielded R $$^2$$ 2 of $$0.664 \pm 0.032$$ 0.664 ± 0.032 and $$0.635 \pm 0.044$$ 0.635 ± 0.044 between predicted scores and radiologist scores for geographic extent and opacity extent, respectively, in stratified Monte Carlo cross-validation experiments. The best performing COVID-Net S networks achieved R $$^2$$ 2 of 0.739 and 0.741 between predicted scores and radiologist scores for geographic extent and opacity extent, respectively. The results are promising and suggest that the use of deep neural networks on CXRs could be an effective tool for computer-aided assessment of SARS-CoV-2 lung disease severity, although additional studies are needed before adoption for routine clinical use.

Title A name given to the resource The dimer-monomer equilibrium of SARS-CoV-2 main protease is affected by small molecule inhibitors Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lucia Silvestrini, Norhan Belhaj, Lucia Comez, Yuri Gerelli, Antonino Lauria, Valeria Libera, Paolo Mariani, Paola Marzullo, Maria Grazia Ortore, Antonio Palumbo Piccionello, Caterina Petrillo, Lucrezia Savini, Alessandro Paciaroni, Francesco Spinozzi Description An account of the resource Abstract The maturation of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which is the etiological agent at the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic, requires a main protease Mpro to cleave the virus-encoded polyproteins. Despite a wealth of experimental information already available, there is wide disagreement about the Mpro monomer-dimer equilibrium dissociation constant. Since the functional unit of Mpro is a homodimer, the detailed knowledge of the thermodynamics of this equilibrium is a key piece of information for possible therapeutic intervention, with small molecules interfering with dimerization being potential broad-spectrum antiviral drug leads. In the present study, we exploit Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) to investigate the structural features of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro in solution as a function of protein concentration and temperature. A detailed thermodynamic picture of the monomer-dimer equilibrium is derived, together with the temperature-dependent value of the dissociation constant. SAXS is also used to study how the Mpro dissociation process is affected by small inhibitors selected by virtual screening. We find that these inhibitors affect dimerization and enzymatic activity to a different extent and sometimes in an opposite way, likely due to the different molecular mechanisms underlying the two processes. The Mpro residues that emerge as key to optimize both dissociation and enzymatic activity inhibition are discussed.

Title A name given to the resource The Effect of Curfew Enforcement on Health Care Provision in COVID-19 Pandemic Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ensar Durmuş, Fatih Guneysu Description An account of the resource The COVID-19 disease occurred in the final weeks of 2019. As part of the fight against COVID-19, countries have taken actions such as travel restrictions, suspension of border crossings and international flights, voluntary home isolation, public activities restriction, and curfews. The objective of this study is to identify the effect of curfew enforcement during the COVID-19 pandemic to determine and identify whether curfew has a positive effect on the health care workload. The number of patients admitted to Sakarya University Training and Research Hospital, their means of arrival, hospitalization-discharge, demographic characteristics were examined retrospectively for the period of curfew in April and May 2020 and the corresponding days in 2019. The significant statistical differences between the two periods were analyzed. The results of this research reveal that24.488 patients were admitted to our emergency department. Of these patients, 12813 (52.3%) were male, 11675 (47.7%) were female. The number of emergency department admissions of the pediatric age group decreased from 1822 (8.9%) to 33 patients (0.8%). Moreover, the number of patients admitted to the emergency service in the related period of 2019 was 20548 (83.9%), while this figure decreased to 3940 individuals (16.1%) during the curfew period. It was impliedthat curfew could reduce the unnecessary admissions to hospitals, the number of ambulance usage, and provide a positive contribution to the reduction in traumas, car accidents, work accidents, and forensic cases during pandemic.

Title A name given to the resource A rotationally focused flow (RFF) microfluidic biosensor by density difference for early-stage detectable diagnosis Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Noori Kim, Kyungsup Han, Pei-Chen Su, Insup Kim, Yong-Jin Yoon Description An account of the resource Abstract Label-free optical biosensors have received tremendous attention in point-of-care testing, especially in the emerging pandemic, COVID-19, since they advance toward early-detection, rapid, real-time, ease-of-use, and low-cost paradigms. Protein biomarkers testings require less sample modification process compared to nucleic-acid biomarkers’. However, challenges always are in detecting low-concentration for early-stage diagnosis. Here we present a Rotationally Focused Flow (RFF) method to enhance sensitivity(wavelength shift) of label-free optical sensors by increasing the detection probability of protein-based molecules. The RFF is structured by adding a less-dense fluid to focus the target-fluid in a T-shaped microchannel. It is integrated with label-free silicon microring resonators interacting with biotin-streptavidin. The suggested mechanism has demonstrated 0.19 fM concentration detection along with a significant magnitudes sensitivity enhancement compared to single flow methods. Verified by both CFD simulations and fluorescent flow-experiments, this study provides a promising proof-of-concept platform for next-generation lab-on-a-chip bioanalytics such as ultrafast and early-detection of COVID-19.

Title A name given to the resource Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection among children in Children's Hospital Zagreb during the initial and second wave of COVID-19 pandemic in Croatia. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Irena Tabain, Zeljka Hruskar, Jasna Lenicek Krleza, Renata Zrinski Topic, Vladimir Stevanovic, Amarela Lukic-Grlic, Zrinjka Misak, Goran Roic, Bernard Kaic, Dijana Mayer, Ljubo Barbic, Tatjana Vilibic-Cavlek Description An account of the resource The study aimed to investigate the prevalence and titres of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in children treated at the Children's Hospital Zagreb in the first and the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Statistical significance of difference at two time points was done to determine how restrictive epidemiological measures and exposure of children to COVID-19 infection affect this prevalence in different age groups. At the first time point (13th to 29th May 2020), 240 samples and in second time point (24th October to 23rd November 2020), 308 serum samples were tested for anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA). Confirmation of results and titre determination was done using virus micro-neutralization test. Subjects were divided according to gender, age and epidemiological history. Seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies differs significantly in two time points (P = 0.010). In first time point 2.9% of seropositive children were determined and in second time point 8.4%. Statistically significant difference (P = 0.007) of seroprevalence between two time points was found only in a group of children aged 11-19 years. At the first time point, all seropositive children were asymptomatic with titre < 8. At the second time point, 69.2% seropositive children were asymptomatic with titre ≥ 8. The prevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies was significantly lower at the first time point than at the second time point. Values of virus micro-neutralization test showed that low titre in asymptomatic children was not protective at the first time point but in second time point all seropositive children had protective titre of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.

Title A name given to the resource Rapid Review on the Associations of Social and Geographical Isolation and Intimate Partner Violence: Implications for the Ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Susan Garthus-Niegel, Amera Mojahed, Stephanie Brym, Helene Hense, Bianca Grafe, Cornelia Helfferich, Jutta Lindert, Jutta Lindert, Susan Garthus-Niegel, Susan Garthus-Niegel Description An account of the resource While the COVID-19 pandemic forced millions of people to stay home and minimize their social contacts, newspaper reports worldwide raised concerns as they reported an increasing rate of intimate partner violence (IPV). One link of the measures enforced to control the pandemic to IPV might be a possible side effect of those measures, namely social and geographical isolation. As there was no scientific data investigating the association of IPV and social and geographical isolation in the context of epidemics or pandemics at the time of conducting this rapid review, we aimed at investigating a broader range of contexts of social as well as geographical isolation and its association with IPV to draw conclusions regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. We searched Embase, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science (core collection). A research strategy was developed and observational studies were included if they considered men and/or women, estimates of social and geographical isolation, and IPV as a primary outcome. Of the 526 identified studies, 11 were included in this review. The included studies involved 15,695 women and were conducted in the USA, Sweden, Ethiopia, Egypt, Spain, and Turkey. Indicators of social isolation such as lack of social, emotional, or informational support or the frequency and quality of social contacts were narratively assessed. Geographical isolation was primarily assessed by physical distance to the next town or support service. Both social and geographic isolation were found to be associated with an increased risk of IPV. Recommendations made by the individual studies include the following: (a) improving access to social networks outside the victims' own group, (b) improving their economic circumstances, (c) asserting the responsibility for those in contact with the victims, and (d) increasing the focus on access to preventive services and programs need to be taken into account. Therefore, considering the particular infrastructure and legislation of the countries affected by the pandemic, policies need to ensure constant access to shelters and other help services and increase awareness for IPV in the society. In addition, future studies are warranted to assess prevalence rates and risk factors of IPV during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Title A name given to the resource Social distancing and dangers of access block to health care services during COVID-19 pandemic Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mor Saban, Tal Shachar Description An account of the resource An outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) that started in Wuhan, China, has spread quickly, with cases confirmed in 180 countries with broad impact on all health care systems. Currently, the absence of a COVID-19 vaccine or any definitive medication has led to increased use of non-pharmaceutical interventions, aimed at reducing contact rates in the population and thereby transmission of the virus, especially social distancing. These social distancing guidelines indirectly create two isolated populations at high-risk: the chronically ill and voluntary isolated persons who had contact with a verified patient or person returning from abroad. In this concept paper we describe the potential risk of these populations leading to an 80% reduction in total Emergency Department (ED) visits, including patients with an acute condition. In conclusion, alternative medical examination solutions so far do not provide adequate response to the at-risk population. The healthcare system must develop and offer complementary solutions that will enable access to health services even during these difficult times.
