Title A name given to the resource Building strategic scenarios during Covid-19 lockdown Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Domenico Camarda, Stefania Santoro, Maria Rosaria Stufano Melone Description An account of the resource Since early spring 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 in Italy caused schools and universities to lock and shift from traditional face-to-face classroom education to online education. In the academic field of spatial planning, online education and examples of on-line participatory process (e.g. e-planning, e-governance, etc.) are traditionally not very frequent. Through the application of an on-line participatory process to build a future vision of Bari (Apulia Region), this study explores elements related to the behavior of the knowledge agents involved in the process and compares them with the application of previous face-to-face classroom examples. The results obtained allow to collect some suggestions not only on the performance of the application in two different times, but also on the potential elements of difference to be associated to the temporal and psychological context related to the diffusion of COVID-19. Since these conditions are clearly exceptional and practically (hopefully) unrepeatable, the results seem to show a mixed perspective of effectiveness for the use of online education to build a future vision of a city.

Title A name given to the resource Consumers’ Fears Regarding Food Availability and Purchasing Behaviors during the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Importance of Trust and Perceived Stress Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Marta Plichta, Marzena Jezewska-Zychowicz, Maria Królak Description An account of the resource The present study aimed to investigate whether trust in circulating information and perceived stress are predictors of consumers’ fear of limited access to food as well as predictors of food purchase behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic. The computer-assisted web interviewing (CAWI) technique was used to collect data from 1033 Polish adults in March 2020. Logistic regression was used to estimate the likelihood of fear of limited access to food and the likelihood of purchase of larger amounts of food than usual. The likelihood of experiencing fear of limited access to food increased by 16% with higher perceived stress, by 50% with higher trust in “Mass media and friends”, and by 219% with perceived changes in food availability in the previous month. Trust in “Polish government institutions” decreased the chance of experiencing such fears by 22%. The likelihood of purchasing larger quantities of food than usual increased by 9% with higher perceived stress, by 46% with higher trust in “Mass media and friends”, by 81% with perceived changes in food availability in the last month, and by 130% with fears of limited access to food as the pandemic spreads. Government institutions may have difficulty in disseminating pandemic-related recommendations through media, not only due to relatively low trust people have in media organizations but also due to the increasing likelihood of the occurrence of both fears regarding food availability and panic-stricken food-buying behaviors with increase in trust in this source of information. Therefore, it is necessary to develop interventions that will reduce perceived stress and improve the trust in information from reputable sources.

Title A name given to the resource Factors increasing the risk of mortality and morbidity due to coronavirus infection in patients with metabolic syndrome Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Chang-Woo Lee, Altansuvd Enkhtur, Joon-Sup Yoon Description An account of the resource Patients living with comorbid metabolic syndrome (MS) and metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus carry increased levels of circulating cytokines and systemic low-grade inflammation. Upon viral infection, such patients with all pre-existing backgrounds, specifically dysregulated inflammatory signalling, leads to rapid viral replication and results in worse clinical outcomes. The increased pro-inflammatory cytokine release is a risk factor, and therefore, targeting inflammatory signalling pathways represents a potential therapeutic target to control the cytokine release, and thereby prevent serious outcomes, such as increased mortality and morbidity. In this review, we elucidate the factors underlying the increased morbidity and mortality in patients with MS and virus infection, particularly coronavirus.

Title A name given to the resource Korean clinical practice guidelines for preventing transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in hemodialysis facilities Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dong Ki Kim, Yon Su Kim, Hayne Cho Park, Do Hyoung Kim, Kyung Don Yoo, Yang-Gyun Kim, Sang-Ho Lee, Hye Eun Yoon, Seong Nam Kim, Myeong Sung Kim, Yoon Chul Jung, Young-Ki Lee, The Korean Society of Nephrology COVID-19 Task Force Team Description An account of the resource Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious viral disease that is caused by the novel virus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 has become pandemic since December 2019, when the first case developed in Wuhan, China. Patients receiving hemodialysis are more vulnerable to viral transmission because their immune functions are impaired and they receive treatment within a narrow space. Calling on previous experience with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome during the 2015 outbreak, the joint committee of the Korean Society of Nephrology and the Korean Society of Dialysis Therapy quickly formed a COVID-19 task force team to develop a manual before the first index case was diagnosed in the hemodialysis unit. This special article introduces clinical practice guidelines to prevent secondary transmission of COVID-19 within hemodialysis facilities, which were developed to protect patients, healthcare workers, and caregivers from this highly transmissible virus. The areas of infection control covered by these guidelines include standard precautions, performing dialysis therapy for confirmed or suspected cases, performing cohort isolation for contact patients, and disease monitoring and contact surveillance. We hope these guidelines help healthcare workers and hemodialysis patients around the world cope with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Title A name given to the resource PIDOTIMOD IN PAUCISYMPTOMATIC SARS-CoV2 INFECTED PATIENTS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Claudio Ucciferri, Barone Mirko, Jacopo Vecchiet, Katia Falasca Description An account of the resource Background and purpose: Currently clinicians wide world are facing with SARS-CoV-2 pandemy, whose clinical features include fever, dry cough, fatigue and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) which can progress to life threatening sequelae. Aim of this study is to evaluate both efficacy and safety of pidotimod in paucisymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 patients without any evidence of concurrent pneumonia. Methods: Twenty SARS-CoV-2 1:1 allocated (pidotimod vs symptomatic therapy) Brescia-COVID Respiratory Severity Scale 0 patients were enrolled and complaining fever, cough without any sign of respiratory failure. None of them required standard regimens or hospitalization. Results: At two-brace cohort analysis no significant selection bias between groups were reported. In the absence of relevant drug-induced side effects or disease progression during therapy, the experimental group presented an earlier clinical resolution than the control one (Group A vs Group B: 4.10±2.18 vs 7.50±2.63 days; 95%CI: 1.13 – 5.67, SE: 1.08; p=0.006), as confirmed from a linear regression analysis. Conclusions:  Pidotimod regimens in selected SARS-COV2 patients could be a viable option to induce symptoms regression, as an earlier defervescence protects from the indolent course of cytokine cascade activation. Rebalancing the immune status with pidotimod may also have prevented the evolution of the infection in patients.

Title A name given to the resource Single primer isothermal amplification (SPIA) combined with next generation sequencing provides complete bovine coronavirus genome coverage and higher sequence depth compared to sequence-independent single primer amplification (SISPA). Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mette Myrmel, Veslemøy Oma, Mamata Khatri, Hanne H Hansen, Maria Stokstad, Mikael Berg, Anne-Lie Blomström Description An account of the resource Coronaviruses are of major importance for both animal and human health. With the emergence of novel coronaviruses such as SARS and MERS, the need for fast genome characterisation is ever so important. Further, in order to understand the influence of quasispecies of these viruses in relation to biology, techniques for deep-sequence and full-length viral genome analysis are needed. In the present study, we compared the efficiency of two sequence-independent approaches [sequence-independent single primer amplification (SISPA) and single primer isothermal amplification (SPIA, represented by the Ovation kit)] coupled with high-throughput sequencing to generate the full-length genome of bovine coronavirus (BCoV) from a nasal swab. Both methods achieved high genome coverage (100% for SPIA and 99% for SISPA), however, there was a clear difference in the percentage of reads that mapped to BCoV. While approximately 45% of the Ovation reads mapped to BCoV (sequence depth of 169-284 944), only 0.07% of the SISPA reads (sequence depth of 0-249) mapped to the reference genome. Although BCoV was the focus of the study we also identified a bovine rhinitis B virus (BRBV) in the data sets. The trend for this virus was similar to that observed for BCoV regarding Ovation vs. SISPA, but with fewer sequences mapping to BRBV due to a lower amount of this virus. In summary, the SPIA approach used in this study produced coverage of the entire BCoV (high copy number) and BRBV (low copy number) and a high sequence/genome depth compared to SISPA. Although this is a limited study, the results indicate that the Ovation method could be a preferred approach for full genome sequencing if a low copy number of viral RNA is expected and if high sequence depth is desired.

Title A name given to the resource COVID-19 and Labour Law: United Kingdom Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Tonia Novitz Description An account of the resource The UK Government provided a tardy response to the coronavirus pandemic, whichwould seem to have led to widespread community transmission and a high death toll. T he measures taken in relation to the labour market were disappointing, being predominantly concerned with protecting business, while limited assistance was provided to the most vulnerable, precarious workers. Jobs have been preserved by such measures, but it is unclear what will happen as the Government schemes are phased out. Crucial issues relating to health and safety at work have been downplayed during the crisis, racial concerns have emerged and gender-related inequalities are being given little attention by the Government. The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has engaged with the Government on policy matters, resulting in some significant alterations to measures taken. Unions have also been prominent in discussions regarding the terms of return to work. This report was originally submitted on 10 April and has now been updated, being accurate up to 7 June 2020.

Title A name given to the resource Emotion Recognition of Students Based on Facial Expressions in Online Education Based on the Perspective of Computer Simulation Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Weiqing Wang, Kunliang Xu, Hongli Niu, Xiangrong Miao Description An account of the resource Online education has developed rapidly due to its irreplaceable convenience. Under the severe circumstances caused by COVID-19 recently, many schools around the world have delayed opening and adopted online education as one of the main teaching methods. However, the efficiency of online classes has long been questioned. Compared with traditional face-to-face classes, there is a lack of direct, timely, and effective communication and feedback between teachers and students in the online courses. Previous studies have shown that there is a close and stable relationship between a person’s facial expressions and emotions generally. From the perspective of computer simulation, a framework combining a face expression recognition (FER) algorithm with online courses platforms is proposed in this work. The cameras in the devices are used to collect students’ face images, and the facial expressions are analyzed and classified into 8 kinds of emotions by the FER algorithm. An online course containing 27 students conducted on Tencent Meeting is used to test the proposed method, and the result proved that this method performs robustly in different environments. This framework can also be applied to other similar scenarios such as online meetings.

Title A name given to the resource Treatment of Gastric Cancer Patients During COVID-19 Pandemic: The West is More Vulnerable Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Polkowski WP, Sędłak K, Rawicz-Pruszyński K Description An account of the resource Wojciech Piotr Polkowski, Katarzyna Sędłak, Karol Rawicz-Pruszyński Department of Surgical Oncology, Medical University of Lublin, Lublin, PolandCorrespondence: Wojciech Piotr PolkowskiDepartment of Surgical Oncology, Medical University of Lublin, Radziwiłłowska 13 St, Lublin 20-080, PolandTel +48 81 531 81 25Fax +48 81 531 81 33Email wojciech.polkowski@uml.edu.plAbstract: The outbreak of the COVID-19 is currently the biggest international concern. Treatment of gastric cancer (GC) patients in the pandemic era with high hospital burden and under severe oncological/surgical resource constraints should implicate a need for resource re-allocation with a new “pandemic” GC treatment algorithm. The neoadjuvant/perioperative (radio-)chemotherapy is applied in the majority of advanced GC cases with poor postoperative therapy compliance. In the East, radical surgery is frequently used in the first instance, with adjuvant chemotherapy reserved for patients with a high risk of recurrence. Moreover, the elderly population might be effectively treated by surgery alone, thus saving oncological resources for younger people who need a more aggressive approach. In this framework, prioritization is a key concept based on the severity of symptoms and the need for urgent (surgical) intervention. High-risk and marginally effective surgery should be replaced with definitive radio- and/or chemotherapy. The pandemic framework to provide optimal care for GC patients must be based on multidisciplinary decision-making and include all anti-cancer treatment options: surgery, systemic therapy, and radiotherapy. The priority and staffing dictate adherence to the new algorithm. We believe that these priorities may improve the delivery of care to all, including elderly GC patients.Keywords: COVID-19, gastric cancer, multidisciplinary treatment Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020 Subject The topic of the resource covid-19, gastric cancer, Multidisciplinary treatment Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Biotemas Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Neoplasms.

Title A name given to the resource Response to a cluster of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 cases at a diagnostic laboratory Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Christoffel J. Opperman, Gert J.K. Marais, Michelle Naidoo, Marvin Hsiao, Nazlee Samodien Description An account of the resource Introduction: We report on the first documented cluster of Coronavirus Disease 2019 cases amongst diagnostic laboratory staff and outline some of the initial and ongoing steps that are being implemented to manage and prevent the spread of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in our laboratory. Case presentation: On 24 April 2020, three staff members of a tertiary diagnostic laboratory in Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa, tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Within seven days, a further nine cases were identified, which suggested an outbreak and prompted a full investigation. Management and outcome: A multifaceted strategic approach was adopted to halt the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in our laboratory. Interventions focused on simultaneously establishing appropriate risk mitigation and stratification strategies through the upscaling of infection prevention and control measures, whilst minimising disruption to service delivery. Conclusion: Laboratory Coronavirus Disease 2019 outbreaks have the potential to cripple a laboratory’s testing capacity. Contingency planning and risk assessments should occur early, and interventions should be modified according to each laboratory’s available resources and infrastructure.
