Title A name given to the resource The Adoption of Preventive Behaviors during the COVID-19 Pandemic in China and Israel Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Xue-Jing Liu, Gustavo S. Mesch Description An account of the resource The COVID-19 pandemic represents a massive global health crisis. The rapid transmission rate of the virus, as well as the lack of effective medications and vaccines, has posed serious challenges to controlling the spread of the disease. Dealing with this public health crisis has required major changes in people’s behavior, including the adoption of social distancing measures such as avoiding meeting with family members and friends, crowded places, and public transportation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors associated with the adoption of these behaviors in China and Israel. We relied on the 3Cs model that has been used to predict the adoption of a specific preventive behavior (vaccinations) with the goal of testing its applicability to other preventive behaviors such as in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The model indicates that confidence in social institutions, complacency (fear of and assessments about the risk of becoming ill) and constraints (levels of self-efficacy and confidence in being able to engage in the behaviors) are predictors of adopting preventive behaviors. Data were collected in China and Israel through an online survey of the population (n = 1406). We used latent variables and structural equation modeling to test the hypotheses derived from the 3Cs model. The findings indicate that there are some differences in the types of preventive behaviors adopted in the two countries. In Israel, higher levels of confidence predicted the adoption of avoidant behaviors and more constraints predicted engaging in fewer avoidant behaviors. In China, more constraints also contributed to the adoption of fewer avoidant behaviors, but people’s level of confidence fully mediated this result. The multi-group analysis indicated that the conceptualized model fits the Chinese and Israeli data reasonably well. The findings suggest that the 3Cs model can be generalized from getting vaccinated to adopting avoidant behaviors and that the model can be used across cultures and countries.

Title A name given to the resource Im/Mobility at the US–Mexico Border during the COVID-19 Pandemic Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Sarah A. Blue, Jennifer A. Devine, Matthew P. Ruiz, Kathryn McDaniel, Alisa R. Hartsell, Christopher J. Pierce, Makayla Johnson, Allison K. Tinglov, Mei Yang, Xiu Wu, Sara Moya, Elle Cross, Carol Anne Starnes Description An account of the resource In March 2020, the United States government began a series of measures designed to dramatically restrict immigration as part of its response to the global health crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic. This included Title 42, which deported asylum seekers immediately and prevented them from applying for asylum. These measures worsened an already precarious situation at the US–Mexico border for an estimated 60,000 asylum seekers who were prevented, by the Trump administration’s ‘Remain in Mexico’ (aka MPP) policy enacted in January 2019, from remaining in the United States while they awaited their asylum hearings. In-depth interviews, participant observation, and social media analysis with humanitarian and legal advocates for asylum seekers living in a camp at the border in Matamoros, Mexico reveal that COVID-19’s impacts are not limited to public health concerns. Rather, COVID-19’s impacts center on how the Trump administration weaponized the virus to indefinitely suspend the asylum system. We argue that the Matamoros refugee camp provides a strategic vantage point to understand the repercussions of state policies of exclusion on im/mobility and survival strategies for asylum seekers. Specifically, we use the analytical lenses of the politics of im/mobility, geographies of exclusion, and asylum seeker resilience to identify how COVID-19 has shaped the im/mobility and security of the camp and its residents in unexpected ways. At the same time, our research illustrates that camp residents exercise im/mobility as a form of political visibility to contest and ameliorate their precarity as they find themselves in conditions not of their choosing.

Title A name given to the resource Global impact of COVID 19 on 112 Emergency System detailed for National 112 Emergency System of Romania Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Bărănescu Mihail, Vasilca Ionel-Sorinel, Tabarcia Mădălina, Nen Madlena Description An account of the resource Research background: During COVID19 crisis, in order to limit and control the multiplication of infections with the new virus, the Romanian Government forced restrictions and established fines to those not staying in line with the rules. The rules had been applied not only to citizens but also to private companies and state authorities. Due to these legal constraints taken during the declared state of emergency and the next state of alert, the appropriate attitude effects occurred in terms of behaviour of individuals and companies. Purpose of the article: One of the positive side effects of the measures taken during the state of emergency and the state of alert, is a decrease of non-real emergency calls in public safety answering points, small in value but important for dealing with real emergencies. Moreover, the incoming calls related to some chronic non-urgent medical affection decreases. Methods: We will study and make comparisons in the number of calls in 112 Emergency System to analyse the quantitative impact relative to COVID period versus a previous not impacted period of time because of COVID. Findings & Value added: The impact of the pandemic on the 112 Emergency System has been a major one. We observed the need to redefine procedures and to make operational a new resilience plan, by defining a specific calling number where people in need to report incidents specifically related to COVID. We also observed some changes in caller behaviour that occurred to those calling the emergency 112 number. However, the last not the least we have observed a real interest of people calling to the specific number dedicated to COVID with different contexts, concerns and clarifications needed to them in order to adopt a more conscious and responsible attitude.

Title A name given to the resource The Suppression of Epidemic Spreading Through Minimum Dominating Set Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Jie Wang, Lei Zhang, Wenda Zhu, Yuhang Jiang, Wenmin Wu, Xipeng Xu, Dawei Zhao Description An account of the resource COVID-19 has infected millions of people, with deaths in more than 200 countries. It is therefore essential to understand the dynamic characteristics of the outbreak and to design effective strategies to restrain the large-scale spread of the epidemic. In this paper, we present a novel framework to depress the epidemic spreading, by leveraging the decentralized dissemination of information. The framework is equivalent to finding a special minimum dominating set for a duplex network which is a general dominating set for one layer and a connected dominating set for another layer. Using the spin glass and message passing theory, we present a belief-propagation-guided decimation (BPD) algorithm to construct the special minimum dominating set. As a consequence, we could immediately recognize the epidemic as soon as it appeared, and rapidly immunize the whole network at minimum cost.

Title A name given to the resource Acute Effects of an Afterschool Running and Reading Program on Executive Functioning in Children: An Exploratory Study Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emily Bremer, Jeffrey D. Graham, Chloe Bedard, Pallavi Dutta, Michelle Ogrodnik, John Cairney Description An account of the resource Objective: Emerging research within school settings suggests acute forms of physical activity and exercise lead to improvements in executive functioning among children. However, research pertaining to these effects within the afterschool setting remains limited. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effects of a community-based afterschool running and reading program on executive functioning in 8 to 12-year-old children.Method: Fifty participants were initially recruited to participate in this study. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, data collection was terminated prematurely which resulted in a sample size of 15 participants. Participants (N = 10) from School 1 completed two batteries of executive function assessments (i.e., inhibition, switching, and updating) separated by 15-min of running or 15-min of sedentary reading. Whereas, only 5 participants from School 2 completed assessments of executive functioning prior to and following the running portion of the program (due to the early termination of data collection).Results: Overall, executive function scores improved across each assessment following the running condition when compared to the reading condition (School 1). Inhibition scores significantly improved, and these effects were very large (School 1). Across both schools, improvements in executive functioning following the running portion of the program ranged from small-large in effect size.Conclusion: Findings from the present study provide initial evidence for the acute effects of a community-based afterschool running and reading program on executive functioning in children. Future research with larger samples in afterschool settings is recommended to replicate this preliminary work.

Title A name given to the resource State of Emergency: A Shortcut to Authoritarianism Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ana Jabauri Description An account of the resource From the beginning of 21st century, legal ramifications of declaring a state of emergency have attracted a lot of attention due to the fact that many states have resorted to this measure in order to combat, first, terrorism threat, and most recently – a new pandemic – COVID-19. However, a state of emergency is certainly not a new issue, and there is a large body of scholarly work dedicated to it, alongside the issue of derogations from fundamental human rights and liberties both from international human rights law and constitutional law perspective.This article focuses on constitutional legal aspects of the state of emergency and derogations from human rights obligations and is aiming to address some of the problems that might occur during a state of emergency. It will be argued that a state of emergency represents a convenient shortcut to authoritarianism and that a strict constitutional legal framework is necessary to be put in place in order to prevent the spread of exceptional provisions within the legal system, which could lead to the normalization of a state of exception.

Title A name given to the resource The global flood of COVID-19 contact tracing apps: sailing with human rights and data protection standards against the wind of mass surveillance Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Nesterova Irena Description An account of the resource Research background: Countries all around the world are rapidly introducing contact tracing apps and other surveillance technologies to tackle the spread of COVID-19 raising serious concerns about human rights and democratic principles. Purpose of the article: The article aims to analyse how human rights and data protection law regulate the COVID-19 contact tracing apps and reveal the biggest challenges that countries face in applying the essential requirements. Methods: The article will analyse the legal framework and compare many guidance documents issued by the international organisations, including the Council of Europe, the OECD and many EU institutions on the data protection requirements for contact tracing tools and the main challenges the governments face in different countries. Findings & Value added: The article will reveal that the existing human rights and data protection standards already impose significant requirements for contact tracing apps requiring to comply with such principles as legality, necessity, proportionality, transparency, purpose limitation, temporariness. Although countries tend to deviate from some of these standards a choice between effective response to crises and fundamental rights should not be made. The article argues that the global flood of digital surveillance technologies requires new regulatory framework and governance mechanisms to enable impact assessment, oversight and monitoring of these technologies both during and after the crises not only to ensure that they are lawful and ethical, but also to limit the dependency of governments on large technology companies as well as to prevent mass surveillance becoming the new normal on a global scale.

Title A name given to the resource Technologies for government regulation of the fight against the pandemic Covid-19: global trends and Russian practices Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Urazgaliev Vladimir, Menshikova Galina, Evstratchik Svetlana Description An account of the resource Research background The fight against the pandemic has become not only a field for implementing medical efforts to counter the disease, but also an arena for identifying government (as well as corporate) technologies for effective management. Sad circumstances make it more urgent to compare the potential of state systems in the face of force majeure. They re-highlight the role of public confidence to their government as a factor of readiness to switch to a regime of strict self-restraint. Again, an analysis of social and economic investment clearly shows the true priorities of governments. It is clear that it is too early to draw conclusions, the fight against the epidemic is far from complete, but a number of major comparative studies have been launched, and scientists publish studies describing the situation in their countries. Purpose of the article: to show the role of science as a factor that implements the trends of globalization; to identify the main global models of government measures, comparing them in terms of impact effectiveness: to give some parameters that characterize Russian model, outlining legislative and organizational innovations in its public administration. Methods The article is based on the data-driven approach, which allows you to compare measures applied by governments of different countries, including Russia. Findings & Value added The publication identifies at least four general global trends and some models, reflecting national features in basic technologies. In addition, the article describes the organizational features (governing bodies and the adopted special laws) of Russia.

Yazdanapanah Description An account of the resource Abstract Background Patients with suspected Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection should be hospitalized in isolation wards to avoid transmission. This suspicion can also lead to medical confusion and inappropriate management of acute respiratory syndrome due to causes other than MERS-CoV. Methods We studied the characteristics and outcome of patients hospitalized for suspected MERS-CoV infection in the isolation wards of two referral infectious disease departments in the Paris area between January 2013 and December 2016. Results Of 93 adult patients (49 male (52.6%), median age 63.4 years) hospitalized, 82 out of 93 adult patients had returned from Saudi Arabia, and 74 of them were pilgrims (Hajj). Chest X-ray findings were abnormal in 72 (77%) patients. The 93 patients were negative for MERS-CoV RT-PCR, and 70 (75.2%) patients had documented infection, 47 (50.5%) viral, 22 (23.6%) bacterial and one Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Microbiological analysis identified Rhinovirus (27.9%), Influenza virus (26.8%), Legionella pneumophila (7.5%), Streptococcus pneumoniae (7.5%), and non-MERS-coronavirus (6.4%). Antibiotics were initiated in 81 (87%) cases, with two antibiotics in 63 patients (67.7%). The median duration of hospitalization and isolation was 3 days (1–33) and 24 h (8–92), respectively.
