Title A name given to the resource Discord platform as an online learning environment for emergencies Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Vladyslav Kruglyk, Dmitriy Bukreiev, Pavlo Chornyi, Evgeniy Kupchak, Andrey Sender Description An account of the resource The study focuses on revealing the features of using the Discord platform as a means of creating a quality remote communication environment during emergency training. The authors present the results of the analysis of scientific developments of scientists in the issues of creation and use of distance learning tools, special attention is given to the problems of distance learning and the structure of its functioning. The authors point out that modern distance learning systems are not well developed for use in emergencies. The main problem is the insufficient level of development in the field of establishing communication channels of quality communication in the conditions of distance education, especially the attention is focused on schools and other institutions of secondary education. To solve this problem, scientists conduct a comparative analysis of distance communication tools, their features and capabilities in terms of the introduction of remote learning communication servers on them and reveals the features of the Bogdan Khmelnytsky Discord platform of Melitopol State Pedagogical University using Discord platform communication environment during distance learning quarantined by the worldwide pandemic of faith in COVID-19.

Title A name given to the resource Psychosocial Risks, Work Engagement, and Job Satisfaction of Nurses During COVID-19 Pandemic Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource María Del Carmen Giménez-Espert, Vicente Prado-Gascó, Ana Soto-Rubio Description An account of the resource Context: COVID-19 pandemic is a serious health emergency that has affected countries all over the world. Health emergencies are a critical psychosocial risk factor for nurses. In general, psychosocial risks constitute serious problems as they impact workers' health, productivity, and efficiency. Despite their importance, few studies analyze nurses' psychosocial risks during a health emergency caused by a pandemic or analyze their perception of the emergency and its relation to such risks.Objectives: To analyze the perception of COVID-19 by nurses, especially about measures, resources, and impact on their daily work. Also, to analyze these professionals' psychosocial risks and the relationship between perception of COVID-19 and these risks.Methods: A descriptive correlational study was performed in a convenience sample of 92 nurses from two public hospitals in the Valencian Community (Spain), (74 women, 79.1%), aged 24–63 (M = 43.37, SD = 11.58). Data were collected via an online self-completed questionnaire during the rise of the pandemic from March 29 to April 8, when the number of infections went from 78,797 to 146,690.Results: The measures and resources available about COVID-19 are relatively low, and the impact on their work is high. Similarly, the most prominent psychosocial risks appear to be emotional work and workload. In contrast, nurses' work engagement is medium, and their satisfaction is high. Finally, there seems to be a negative and significant relationship between the information available to nurses, the measures implemented, and resources with some of their psychosocial risks, and a positive one with job satisfaction and work engagement. There is also a positive and significant relationship only between the impact of COVID-19 and their work inequality, but not for other risks.Conclusions: The resources, measures, and information can be a protective factor facing nurses' psychosocial risks, especially during a pandemic. Studying the relationships between psychosocial risk and perception of a health emergency would be relevant and fundamental to protecting and caring for nurses, health professionals, and society.

Title A name given to the resource DeepSOCIAL: Social Distancing Monitoring and Infection Risk Assessment in COVID-19 Pandemic Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mahdi Rezaei, Mohsen Azarmi Description An account of the resource Social distancing is a recommended solution by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to minimise the spread of COVID-19 in public places. The majority of governments and national health authorities have set the 2-m physical distancing as a mandatory safety measure in shopping centres, schools and other covered areas. In this research, we develop a hybrid Computer Vision and YOLOv4-based Deep Neural Network (DNN) model for automated people detection in the crowd in indoor and outdoor environments using common CCTV security cameras. The proposed DNN model in combination with an adapted inverse perspective mapping (IPM) technique and SORT tracking algorithm leads to a robust people detection and social distancing monitoring. The model has been trained against two most comprehensive datasets by the time of the research—the Microsoft Common Objects in Context (MS COCO) and Google Open Image datasets. The system has been evaluated against the Oxford Town Centre dataset (including 150,000 instances of people detection) with superior performance compared to three state-of-the-art methods. The evaluation has been conducted in challenging conditions, including occlusion, partial visibility, and under lighting variations with the mean average precision of 99.8% and the real-time speed of 24.1 fps. We also provide an online infection risk assessment scheme by statistical analysis of the spatio-temporal data from people’s moving trajectories and the rate of social distancing violations. We identify high-risk zones with the highest possibility of virus spread and infection. This may help authorities to redesign the layout of a public place or to take precaution actions to mitigate high-risk zones. The developed model is a generic and accurate people detection and tracking solution that can be applied in many other fields such as autonomous vehicles, human action recognition, anomaly detection, sports, crowd analysis, or any other research areas where the human detection is in the centre of attention.

Title A name given to the resource When there is a pandemic there is no time to waste: should we have hydroxychloroquine in our armoury against COVID-19 infected patients? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dimitrios P. Bogdanos, Lazaros I. Sakkas, Zoi Daniil, Epaminondas Zakynthinos, Konstantinos Gourgoulianis Description An account of the resource The current use of chloroquine and/or hydroxychloroquine, a drug currently used to treat autoimmune rheumatic diseases, in treating severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) or COVID-19-infected patients with pneumonia is a matter of intense consideration. We wish to enter the ongoing debate as to whether this well-known drug must be given to Greek COVID-19-infected patients, especially those with pneumonia. Our arguments are based on the existing data and the capacity of the Greek health system to afford potent anti-viral treatments, which are under immense investigation. We propose several suggestions related to treatment of COVID-19 pneumonia with chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine that we think must be taken into consideration to fit the evolving situation of the pandemic in Greece.

Title A name given to the resource Virology, Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, and Control of COVID-19 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Shuaiyin Chen, Weidong Wu, Yuefei Jin, Guangcai Duan, Haiyan Yang, Wangquan Ji, Weiguo Zhang Description An account of the resource The outbreak of emerging severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) disease (COVID-19) in China has been brought to global attention and declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020. Scientific advancements since the pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2002~2003 and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in 2012 have accelerated our understanding of the epidemiology and pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 and the development of therapeutics to treat viral infection. As no specific therapeutics and vaccines are available for disease control, the epidemic of COVID-19 is posing a great threat for global public health. To provide a comprehensive summary to public health authorities and potential readers worldwide, we detail the present understanding of COVID-19 and introduce the current state of development of measures in this review.

Title A name given to the resource A expansão do processo de digitalização durante a pandemia de Covid-19  Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Élmano Ricarte Description An account of the resource Apresentam-se e analisam-se quantitativamente dados estatísticos sobre a expansão do processo de digitalização da vida quotidiana nas perspectivas global e portuguesa, entre os meses de março e maio de 2020 em comparação com o trimestre anterior (dezembro de 2019 e janeiro e fevereiro de 2020). Esse recorte temporal corresponde ao período de confinamento no qual a pandemia da COVID-19 (causada pelo SARS-COV-2) encaminhou cerca de 4,5 mil milhões de pessoas para ficarem em casa, como uma das medidas restritivas para evitar o aumento da taxa de contágio da doença causada pelo novo coronavírus. Como alternativa para a manutenção das relações sociais, os meios de comunicação digitais tiveram um aumento considerável de utilização e de inserção na vida quotidiana de indivíduos e instituições sociais. Nosso objetivo é, portanto, registar e analisar quantitativamente a penetração do digital no quotidiano. Para a nossa recolha de dados, tomámos como referência principal as informações fornecidas a partir da plataforma SimilarWeb. Para análise, recorremos aos Estudos da Mediatização, os quais procuram compreender as mudanças sociais e culturais promovidas pelos e nos media. Como resultado, podemos afirmar que houve uma maior utilização dos meios digitais em todo o mundo e em Portugal, principalmente, das redes sociais no trimestre selecionado em comparação com o anterior.

Title A name given to the resource Coping of Chinese Citizens Living in Spain during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Lessons for Personal Well-Being and Social Cohesion Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mengna Guo, Mar Joanpere, Cristina Pulido, Maria Padrós Cuxart Description An account of the resource Chinese citizens in China were the first affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. Nevertheless, the disease rapidly spread around the world, leading to the worst pandemic experienced in modern societies. Spain has become one of the countries more severely affected by it, while having a large Chinese community. This study aims to explore the perception of Chinese citizens living in Spain regarding the outbreak in their host country. Communicative interviews were conducted with ten Chinese men and women who had been living in Spain for at least five years. Results show cultural differences in the coping strategies of the Chinese as a response to the pandemic, which differ from those observed by the participants in their fellow Spanish citizens. These findings unveil the potential of integrating the cultural knowledge and coping strategies of migrant groups in the host communities in managing a pandemic, as well as the negative outcomes for social cohesion and well-being from new racism emerging in the context of COVID-19.

Title A name given to the resource Exercising in Times of Lockdown: An Analysis of the Impact of COVID-19 on Levels and Patterns of Exercise among Adults in Belgium Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Bram Constandt, Erik Thibaut, Veerle De Bosscher, Jeroen Scheerder, Margot Ricour, Annick Willem Description An account of the resource Countries all over the world implemented lockdowns to counteract COVID-19. These lockdowns heavily limited people’s exercise possibilities. At the same time, experts advocated to remain physically active to prevent future health problems. Based on an online survey, this study examines adults’ exercise levels and patterns during the COVID-19 lockdown in Belgium. Ordinal logistic regression analyses of 13,515 valid and population-weighted responses indicate a general increase in exercise frequencies, as well as in sedentary behavior. Except for people aged 55+, previously low active adults self-reported to exercise more during the lockdown. Among the people who were already high active before COVID-19, those above 55 years old, those with low education, those used to exercise with friends or in a sport club, and those who were not using online tools to exercise, self-reported to exercise less during the lockdown. Having less time, sitting more, and missing the familiar way and competitive element of exercising were the main reasons for a self-reported exercise reduction. Given the health risks associated with physical inactivity, results imply that governments should consider how those who were not reached can be encouraged to exercise during a lockdown. After all, additional COVID-19 lockdowns might be implemented in the future.

This has led to the re-organization of the specialty services for the effective utilization of available resources and ensuring the safety of patients and healthcare workers. Suspension of oncology services will have major implications on cancer care due to delayed diagnosis and treatment leading to irreversible adverse consequences. Therefore various oncology organizations have called for a continuation of cancer care during this crisis with diligence. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the clinicians to transform the components of care from screening to outpatient care and primary management. The purpose of this article is to establish guidelines and recommendations for ocular oncology in the management of ocular tumors set by a multidisciplinary team of experts including ocular, medical and radiation oncologists, and pathologists. As the pandemic is evolving fast, it will require constant updates and reformation of health strategies and guidelines for safe and quality health care.

Box 196, Gondar, EthiopiaTel +251910162171Email shitewodros@gmail.comAbstract: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a globally communicable public health disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV-2). Eradication of COVID-19 appears practically impossible but, therefore, more effective pharmacotherapy is needed. The deteriorated clinical presentation of patients with COVID-19 is mainly associated with hypercytokinemia due to notoriously elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1B, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), interferon-γ-inducible protein (IP10), monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP1), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα), and is usually responsible for cytokine release syndrome. In the cytokine storm, up-regulation of T-helper 17 cell cytokine IL-17A, and maybe also IL-17F, is mostly responsible for the immunopathology of COVID-19 and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Herein, I meticulously review the exuberant polarization mechanism of naïve CD4+ T cells toward Th17 cells in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and its associated immunopathological sequelae. I also, propose, for clinical benefit, targeting IL-17A signaling and the synergic inflammatory cytokine IL-6 to manage COVID-19 patients, particularly those presenting with cytokine storm syndrome.Keywords: IL-17A, inflammation, immunopathology, COVID-19, cytokine storm, Th17, IL-6, ARDS Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020 Subject The topic of the resource inflammation, covid-19, ARDS, cytokine storm, Immunopathology, IL-6, TH17, IL-17A 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 Pathology
