| 1301 | The mechanistic basis linking cytokine storm to thrombosis in COVID-19 It is now well established that infection with SARS-CoV-2 resulting in COVID-19 disease includes a severely symptomatic subset of patients in whom an aggressive and/or dysregulated host immune response leads to cytokine storm syndrome (CSS) that may be further complicated by thrombotic events, contributing to the severe morbidity and mortality observed in COVID-19. This review provides a brief overview of cytokine storm in COVID-19, and then presents a mechanistic discussion of how cytokine storm affects integrated pathways in thrombosis involving the endothelium, platelets, the coagulation cascade, eicosanoids, auto-antibody mediated thrombosis, and the fibrinolytic system. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1302 | An Enhanced Beetle Antennae Search Algorithm Based Comprehensive Water Quality Index for Urban River Water Quality Assessment Urban river not only has the important function in urban hydrological environment, but also is an area for entertainment. Water quality assessment is the core technique in water resource management. As the typical urban river, water samples were collected at 5 sampling points in Xi’an moat from January 2018 to December 2020, and 10 physicochemical parameters were analyzed. In this paper, a comprehensive water quality index (WQI) is designed based on the criterion of water quality classes and entropy weight method firstly. Secondly, the crucial water quality parameters is determined by using mutual information, coefficient of variation and the water quality difference. Finally, an enhanced beetle antennae search algorithm is proposed to optimize the weight values of the crucial parameters in the range 0 to 1, which represent the ratio of the crucial parameter in the minimum WQI (WQImin) model. The WQImin models with different number of crucial water quality parameters are implemented for water quality assessment. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed enhanced beetle antennae search algorithm are validated in comparison with other evolutionary algorithms. The results show that the proposed WQImin model can assess the water quality accurately. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1303 | Characteristics and Effects of Entrepreneurship Education Programs: a Systematic Review In recent decades, due to the unprecedented enthusiasm for processes related to teaching entrepreneurship, the subject of “entrepreneurship education” has been widely investigated. Several entrepreneurship education programs have been developed and tested under the hypothesis that it is possible to teach entrepreneurship and that such training is effective to develop both entrepreneurs and their ventures. Several studies, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses, have sought to understand the relationship between the interventions proposed in entrepreneurship education programs and their potential outcomes, such as the acquisition of different behavioral repertoires and business growth. In contrast, the content developed in different programs has not received attention. The aim of this systematic review is to describe aspects related to the interventions proposed in entrepreneurship education programs; specifically, this review aimed at determining what the interventions intended to develop, the characteristics of pedagogical strategies employed in these interventions, and the types of outcomes of such interventions. The results of the review showed that some important aspects, such as personalized learning in some stages of the interventions, the target audience, the formal preparation of mentors, and the development of specific content for achieving intended goals, need better consideration for the improvement of entrepreneurship education programs. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1304 | Abstract No.: ABS0615: Anaesthesia management of bilateral bronchopleural fistula for repair BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) poses ventilatory challenges during general anaesthesia (GA). Without repair of large BPF, patient’s condition is unlikely to improve. Hence thoracic surgery in these patient is a challenging task. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, has caused immense morbidityincluding pulmonary sequelae pulmonary complications such as BPF. Perioperative strategies included to maintaining adequate ventilation and haemodynamics. METHODS: We present anaesthesia management of five cases, who developed bilateral significant BPF as post COVID-19 sequelae. Conservative treatment with bilateral ICD did not reduce the BPF leak. Hence, surgical closure of BPF was planned. Maintaining adequate ventilation was challenging task. Regional blocks are considered safer alternative in patients with pulmonary disease. Erector spinae blocks (ESP) was performed. Ventilatory and haemodynamic parameters were measured. Pain score and patient comfort was also recorded. RESULTS: Out of five patients , four patients received ESP block and one patient had haemodynamic instability in intensive care unit so,the patient was operated under GA Table 1. Desaturation during positioning were noted in only one patient. Inotropes to maintain haemodynamics were required in two patients . All patients managed under ESP block were comfortable during intraoperative period. CONCLUSION: ESP block was found to be a a safer option for perioperative management in BPF repair in these patients of post COVID-19 sequelae . | Indian J Anaesth | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1305 | Retrospective study of association of hematological parameters with disease severity in COVID patients admitted in Burdwan Medical College and Hospital BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Since December 2019, an increasing number of pneumonia cases of unknown reasons emerged in Wuhan, China. Deep-sequencing analysis from nasopharyngeal swabs, sputum, lower respiratory tract samples, and blood indicated a novel coronavirus, known as 2019-nCoV. Our aim was to determine the association of haematological parameters such as haemoglobin (Hb%), total leukocyte count (TLC), platelet count (Plt) with severity of coronavirus disease 19 (COVID 19) infection among patients admitted in the COVID intensive care unit (ICU) and COVID ward, and our objectives were to estimate haemoglobin (Hb), TLC, differential leukocyte count (DLC), and platelet count of patients admitted in the COVID ward and ICU; to derive neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) from the DLC of the patients admitted in the COVID ward and ICU; and to determine the correlation between Hb, platelet count, TLC, and NLR with severity of disease among COVID patients. METHODS: After receiving approval from institutional ethics committee, data were collected according to our study parameter (age, weight, height, Hb%, TLC, platelet, NLR) from the medical record section for ICU-admitted (Group A) and ward-admitted (Group B) patients and compared. Here, SPSS version 22 was used for analysis, and a p value <0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: A decreasing trend in Hb%, TLC, and platelet count was seen in both the groups but more in group A than group B, which is statistically significant; NLR got an increasing trend in these two groups, and the increase in group A is more and statistically significant compared to group B. CONCLUSION: Our study tries to explore the feasibility of such parameters in this regard and found that a combination of NLR, Hb%, TLC, and platelet count can be considered together as an effective prognostic indicator in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). | Indian J Anaesth | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1306 | Abstract No.: ABS0636: Role of the high-flow nasal cannula as a treatment modality in patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure because of COVID-19-A prospective observational study BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), a high-flow oxygen-generating device, delivers targeted FiO(2) and reduces the dead space with adequate positive end-expiratory pressure delivery, improving the ventilatory efficiency. We aimed to establish the efficacy of HFNC in the management of hypoxemic respiratoryfailure because of coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) using ROX index [(SpO2/FiO2)/RR]. METHODS: A total of 65 COVID-19-positive patients admitted in the intensive care unit (ICU) were selected based on whether SpO2 <90% with laboured breathing and not improving on a non-re-breathing mask at >15 l/min of oxygen. Patients were observed every 4 hours with respect to ROX index, vital and laboratory parameters, arterial blood pressure analysis, and drug treatment, depending on which patients were either weaned off or put on non-invasive ventilation (NIV)/invasive ventilation. Thus, ROX index was used to evaluate the efficacy of using HFNC in the management of hypoxemic respiratory failure because of COVID-19. RESULTS: The mean baseline ROX index of all 65 patients at the time of admission in ICU was 3.76 ± 0.54. The mean ROX index of all 65 patients at 2, 6, and 12 hours of being put on HFNC was 4.79 ± 0.79, 4.86 ± 0.8, and 5.04 ± 0.85, respectively. Out of 65, 14 patients who experienced HFNC failure had a mean ROX index of 3.40 ± 0.76 before being put on NIV/invasive ventilation at an average median of 48 hours (24–114 hours). CONCLUSION: ROX index can be effectively correlated with the efficacy of HFNC in the management of hypoxemic respiratory failure because of COVID-19, thus decreasing the need of NIV or invasive ventilation. | Indian J Anaesth | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1307 | Abstract No.: ABS1288: A multicentric research study on correlation between covid 19 vaccination status and severity of disease BACKGROUND & AIMS: To correlate the severity of coronavirus disease (COVID) with vaccination status in COVID 19 pandemics. The Primary Objective of the present study was to know occurrence of Post vaccination breakthrough infections in hospitalized patients and the Secondary Objective was to assess the severity of COVID-19 infection amongst vaccinated patients. METHODS: The present study was a retrospective observational multicentric study performed on 325 covid positive patients admitted in High dependency units (HDUs) and Intensive care units (ICUs) and were either on Non rebreather mask (NRBM) or Bilevel positive airway pressure (Bipap) or invasive Ventilation. These patients were then divided as per severity of their symptoms into severe or non severe in correlation with their vaccination status. The study included covid positive as well as High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) thorax suggestive of covid ground glass appearance with age above 18 years and excluded patients who developed adverse reaction post vaccination, pediatric age group, pregnant and lactating females. RESULTS: Total 325 confirmed covid positive patients were studied. Statistical analysis was done with SPSS version 26 and data were analysed by Chi-square test & P value< 0.05 was considered as significant. Total duration of hospital stay was less in vaccinated patients compared to non vaccinated patients and also oxygen requirement was much less in vaccinated patients. The severity of covid infection was also less in vaccinated than amongst non vaccinated. CONCLUSION: Covid 19 vaccination is very effective in preventing severity of infection. | Indian J Anaesth | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1308 | Abstract No.: ABS0875: Utilisation of machine learning in predicting clinical outcome in COVID-19 BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The goal of this study was to develop a deep-learning artificial intelligence algorithm to identify the top predictors amongst the large array of clinical variables at admission to predict the likelihood of mortality in coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) patients. METHODS: Data such as complete blood count, RFT, serum electrolytes, liver function tests, interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, ferritin, FiO(2), mode of ventilation, age, sex, and co-morbidities were collected from 250 patients admitted to the ICU. The variables missing for more than 20% of the people were removed. Chi-Square and Pearson’s correlation coefficient were used to remove the clinical variables having less importance with respect to the probability of being discharged or mortality. The LightGBM model was used for classification. The data were split into train and test in the ratio of 0.8:0.2. This gave an output of survival and mortality probability. [Image: see text] RESULTS: The model gave a result with an accuracy of 0.64, a precision of 0.73, a recall of 0.64, an F1 score of 0.66, and an area under the curve of 0.79. The model had a specificity of 66.6% and a sensitivity of 61.5%. Ferritin and IL-6 values were the top predictors of mortality. CONCLUSION: This approach has the potential to provide frontline physicians with a simple and objective tool to stratify patients based on risks so that they can triage COVID-19 patients more effectively in time-sensitive, stressful, and potentially resource-constrained environments. | Indian J Anaesth | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1309 | Abstract No.: ABS3159: Utility of prognostic scores in prediction of mortality after emergency surgery in COVID-19 patients-A prospective observational cohort study BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Pre-operative prognostic scoring in emergency surgeries is important for informed consent and optimum resource allocation. The accuracy of pre-operative prognostic scores in patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has not been studied. This study aimed to evaluate prognostic scoring tools in COVID-19 patients. METHODS: A prospective, observational cohort study was conducted in adults with confirmed COVID-19 infection within 7 weeks before or 1 week after emergency surgery. (1) Demographic data, prognostic risk scores [American Association of Anaesthesiologists Physical Classification (ASA), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), quick SOFA (qSOFA), Physiologic and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality and Morbidity (POSSUM), and Portsmouth POSSUM (P-POSSUM) scores], and surgical and anaesthetic factors were noted along with morbidity and 30-day mortality. The correlation of prognostic scores and mortality was evaluated using univariate Cox proportional hazards regression, receiver operating characteristic curves (ROCs), Youden’s index, and the Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness-of-fit model. RESULTS: Sixty-seven COVID-19 patients underwent emergency surgery during the study period. The overall mortality was 19%, with the highest in gastro-intestinal/general surgery and sinus surgery. Positive qSOFA and ASA 3E/4E were associated with 9.03 and 12.7 times higher mortality risk, respectively. Each unit increase of SOFA-, POSSUM-, and P-POSSUM-predicted mortality scores led to 50%, 7%, and 6% higher mortality. SOFA, POSSUM, and P-POSSUM area under the curve–ROC curves showed good discrimination between survivors and non-survivors (AUC 0.8829, 0.85, and 0.86, respectively). CONCLUSION: The overall mortality was comparable to the published literature. (2) SOFA, POSSUM, and P-POSSUM models are good prognostictools for predicting the post-operative 30-day mortality in COVID-19 patients. qSOFA, a simple, clinical, objective tool, also has an aprognostic value. | Indian J Anaesth | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1310 | Abstract No.: ABS0125: Study of airway management in 50 COVID positive patients in ICU BACKGROUND & AIMS: The aim was to successfully perform airway management by securing definite airway via endotracheal tube in emergency or semi- emergency situation in first attempt without causing any trauma to the patient. METHODS: In our ICU, tracheal intubation was done for patients with COVID-19 which was based on clinical criteria as per the institute protocol. Intubation was performed by an expert in airway management using method of rapid sequence intubation anddirect laryngoscope. Propofol or etomidate were used as induction agent and succinylcholine or rocuronium as musclerelaxant, according to the patient profile. Intubation box, acrylic face shield and personal protective equipment were also used for safety. Various pathological factors also contribute to difficulty in airway management such as edema and ulceration ofepiglottis and vocal cords. RESULTS: Despite a multitude of technical and pathological factors contributing to difficult airway management,in this study of total 50 patients, 45 patients were intubated successfully in the first attempt, 4 patients were intubated in second attempt and 1 patient was intubated after 3 attempts using bougie with some trauma to the patient. All the intubations were performed using direct laryngoscope and rapid sequence intubation by an expert airway manager. [Image: see text] CONCLUSION: Therefore, to conclude, in the majority of the COVID 19 ICU patients, airway management was done successfully in the first attempt in emergency situation by the expert airway manager. | Indian J Anaesth | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1311 | Traditional fermented foods and beverages in Iraq and their potential for large-scale commercialization The tradition of making fermented foods and beverages in Iraq dates back to 7500 BC. These fermented foods and beverages are represented by meat-, milk-, vegetable-, and fruit-based products reflecting diversity of agricultural production in ancient Iraq (Mesopotamia). Although the recipes for some fermented foods and beverages were lost throughout history, those remaining foods and beverages occupy a noticeable position in modern Iraqi cuisine. In this review, knowledge and techniques for preparation of 5 traditional fermented foods, i.e. Basturma, Smoked Liban, Aushari cheese, Turshi, and Sour Khobz, and 3 fermented beverages, i.e. Shanina, Sharbet Zbeeb, and Erk Sous in Iraq, are documented. Traditional fermented foods and beverages have multiple health benefits because of high content of probiotics and bioactive compounds. Traditional fermented foods and beverages are made using the back-slopping technique which ensures safety of production and maintains organoleptic properties. The review highlights the potential of fermented foods and beverages for their large-scale commercialization. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1312 | Prevalence and outcome of sepsis in respiratory intensive care unit BACKGROUND: Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to an infection. OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence and outcome of sepsis in RICU PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study was conducted upon 403 patients admitted at RICU of the Abbassia Chest Hospital, Cairo, Egypt; 100 of them had sepsis either on admission or acquired in the RICU during the period from May 2019 to November 2019. Severity of illness was assessed by Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II score), which was recorded within 24 h from patient admission. Quick sepsis-related organ failure assessment (qSOFA) score was recorded in emergency room, and sepsis-related organ failure assessment (SOFA) score was recorded on ICU admission and on the 3rd and 7th day of ICU stay. Type of infection (community or hospital acquired), infection site, and pathogenic organisms, all were recorded. Assessment was done also regarding mechanical ventilation, length of RICU stay, the presence of comorbidities, survived patients, and dead ones, as regards causes of death and risk factors. RESULTS: The study included 100 cases with sepsis out of 403 admitted cases in the same duration with frequency 24%. Among sepsis patients, 72% were males and 28%were females, with mean age 51.62 ± 18.62 years. The main diagnosis was pneumonia (62%), and the main comorbidity was diabetes mellitus (23%). There was significant increase in age among non-survivors when compared with survivors. There was significant increase in number of mechanically ventilated patients and a highly significant incidence of complications and need for vasoactive drugs among non-survivors when compared with survivors. There was a highly significant higher APACHE II score on the 1st day of admission among non-survivor patients. The SOFA score was significantly higher on the 1st day of admission and significantly higher on the 3rd and 7th day of admission among non-survivor patients when compared to survived patients. CONCLUSION: The current study showed that sepsis affects nearly one quarter of cases admitted at RICU, and it is usually associated with higher mortality rate in those patients.

| 1313 | COVID-19 and Distance Education: Evaluation in the Context of Twenty-first Century Skills In this study, we aimed to investigate the prospective primary school teachers’ opinions about their experiences in distance education within the scope of twenty-first century skills during COVID-19 pandemic. The phenomenological research method was used for the purpose of enlightening this specific context. The study group involved 16 prospective primary school teachers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The credibility of the data were provided by obtaining the consent of the participants and by comparing the consistency of codes and themes created by experts in accordance with the twenty-first century skills. The key findings were: (1) no opinion is expressed on information and media literacy; also, participants were not aware of the importance of technology literacy. (2) Emergency remote education cannot provide effective learning and teaching. Participants’ awareness of collaboration and communication skills was insufficient. (3) There were positive and negative aspects of emergency distance education towards face-to-face one. The educational environment, which has become digitalized with distance education, shows that there are changes in the views of the participants about the technology competence that they should have in their careers. As a result, remote education does not cause a significant difference in 21st century skills of participants. But the importance and need of twenty-first century skills in the distance education process become more apparent. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |

| 1318 | The penalty of work from home: gender gap in productivity of unorganised manufacturing firms in India This study estimates the contribution of gendered social norms in explaining the gender gap in productivity of unorganised manufacturing firms. Restrictions on mobility and burden of household work mean that female firm-owners primarily operate from their household premises. Using data from unorganised firms operating in the manufacturing sector in India, this paper finds gender gap in firm productivity. The Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition at mean show that despite controlling for size of the firm, assets and other conventional factors, the location of a female proprietary firm within the household premises of the owner explains 19% of the observed gender gap in productivity. The RIF decomposition results show that at the different quartiles, this contribution varies from 19 to 36% of the composition effect. The evidence suggests that the persistence of the gender gap in firm productivity is associated with the persistence of gendered social norms.

| 1319 | Which birds are Brazilians seeing on urban and non-urban feeders? An analysis based on a collective online birding Many studies have shown the positive and negative impacts of feeding wild birds using feeders; however, none of them considered case studies in Brazil. In 2020, social isolation measures imposed by COVID-19 boosted Brazilians’ interest in bird feeders, encouraging a group of birders to create an event (called JaneLives) to broadcast simultaneous live images of feeders across the country. Using the structure of JaneLives and relying on volunteers, we investigated which species visit Brazilian bird feeders, and discussed the effectiveness of our opportune citizen science initiative implemented during this event. Forty-eight feeders (19 urban and 29 non-urban) included in six biomes were sampled during nine JaneLives sessions (May–November 2020). The audience watched 133 species, 104 of which were visiting feeders. Non-urban feeders (n = 94) had higher richness than urban feeders (n = 68), but there were shared and unique species in both strata. Thraupidae, Turdidae, small, and medium birds (< 90 g) were the most common at the feeders. Owners of 23 feeders did data sampling at least once, while the other 25 feeders were sampled by 25 online birders (94.8% of their bird records were reliable). The narration that accompanied each JaneLives session enabled the audience to learn about Brazilian birds and increased environmental awareness. Audience numbers declined over the events, but the number of online birders was not affected. Ecolodges and parks that broadcasted their feeders received new clients afterwards. The events generated social interaction and pragmatic discussions about the usage of feeders, indicating that our citizen science initiative has potential for future research.

| 1320 | The validation of left atrial strain imaging for the assessment of diastolic functions in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction Assessment of left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) is crucial in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Since current guideline recommended echocardiographic parameters have limited value, more comprehensive assessment methods are required in this patient subset.In this study, we aimed to investigate the clinical utility of left atrial reservoir strain (LARS) imaging in patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). Patients who underwent successful pPCI were included. Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) was measured invasively following pPCI. Left atrial strain imaging was performed following pPCI within 24 h of pPCI. Normal LARS value was accepted as above 23%. We prospectively enrolled 69 patients; there were 18 patients with LARS below 23% who were included into group 1 and rest of the study population included into group 2. There was no significant difference between groups in terms of comorbidities.Troponin and pro-BNP levels were significantly higher in group 1 (p: 0.036 and 0.047 respectively). Left atrial volume and tricuspid regurgitation velocity were similar between groups (p: 0.416 and p: 0.351 respectively). Septal tissue velocity was higher (p: 0.001) and Septal E/e’ ratio was lower (p: 0.004) in group 2. Left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain value was higher in group 1 which is consistent with observed lower ejection (LVEF) fraction in group 1 (p: 0.001 for LV strain and p: 0.001 for LVEF). Estimated mean LVFP was also higher in group 1 (p: 0.003).Correlation analyses revealed moderate correlation between LARS and LVEDP (r: − 0.300). Our results indicate that left atrial strain imaging is a promising tool for the assessment of left atrial pressure in patients with STEMI. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1321 | Shareholder response to pension deficit: evidence from the COVID-19 pandemic We examine the impact of firms’ pre-crisis pension underfunding on stock returns of US firms during the COVID-19 stock market crisis. Unlike the prior studies, our study uses the COVID-19 pandemic as an exogenous shock to pension underfunding and reports that shareholders remain indifferent to firms’ pension underfunding. The impact of pension underfunding remains trivial even after considering firms’ possible financial constraints, information asymmetry, and mandatory contributions associated with the underfunding. Our findings suggest that shareholders acknowledge pension deficit as a firm’s true liability only when pension underfunding contributions start affecting earnings and cash flows in the future. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1322 | CT severity score in COVID-19 patients, assessment of performance in triage and outcome prediction: a comparative study of different methods BACKGROUND: Lung involvement in COVID-19 can be quantified by chest CT scan with some triage and prognostication value. Optimizing initial triage of patients could help decrease adverse health impacts of the disease through better clinical management. At least 6 CT severity score (CTSS) systems have been proposed. We aimed to evaluate triage and prognostication performance of seven different CTSSs, including one proposed by ourselves, in hospitalized COVID-19 patients diagnosed by positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS: After exclusion of 14 heart failure and significant preexisting pulmonary disease patients, 96 COVID-19, PCR-positive patients were included into our retrospective study, admitted from February 20, 2020, to July 22. Their mean age was 63.6 ± 17.4 years (range 21–88, median 67). Fifty-seven (59.4%) were men, and 39 (40.6%) were women. All CTSSs showed good interrater reliability as calculated intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) between two radiologists were 0.764–0.837. Those CTSSs with more numerous segmentations showed the best ICCs. As judged by area under curve (AUC) for each receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve, only three CTSSs showed acceptable AUCs (AUC = 0.7) for triage of severe/critical patients. All CTSSs showed acceptable AUCs for prognostication (AUCs = 0.76–0.79). Calculated AUCs for different CTSSs were not significantly different for triage and for prediction of severe/critical disease, but some difference was shown for prediction of critical disease. CONCLUSIONS: Men are probably affected more frequently than women by COVID-19. Quantification of lung disease in COVID-19 is a readily available and easy tool to be used in triage and prognostication, but we do not advocate its use in heart failure or chronic respiratory disease patients. The scoring systems with more numerous segmentations are recommended if any future imaging for comparison is contemplated. CTSS performance in triage was much lower than earlier reports, and only three CTSSs showed acceptable AUCs in this regard. CTSS performed better for prognostic purposes than for triage as all 7 CTSSs showed acceptable AUCs in both types of prognostic ROC curves. There is not much difference among performance of different CTSSs. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1323 | Highly debated but still unbundled: The evolution of US airline ancillary products and pricing strategies This paper investigates how airline pricing strategies and revenues have evolved over time for unbundled flight products, using the eight largest U.S. airlines. Findings indicate that ticket exchange fees are being eliminated by network and low-cost carriers. On the other hand, baggage and seat reservation fees have grown more complex, with some carriers moving towards dynamic pricing. Ancillary revenues from unbundled flight products represent an increasing portion of airlines’ total operating revenues, especially for ultra low-cost carriers. We estimate that the product unbundling trend has decreased revenues to the U.S. Airport and Airway Trust Fund by 4.0%–4.6% due to untaxed baggage and seat reservation fees alone. We also discuss government policies on ancillary revenue disclosure and pricing transparency, and the global COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on ancillaries. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1324 | Detection of SARS-CoV-2 and Other Viruses in Wastewater: Optimization and Automation of an Aluminum Hydroxide Adsorption-Precipitation Method for Virus Concentration [Image: see text] This study aimed to provide a low-cost technique for virus detection in wastewater by improving an aluminum hydroxide adsorption–precipitation method. The releasing efficiency of viruses trapped by the aluminum hydroxide precipitates was improved by adding ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA-2Na) to dissolve the precipitates at a Na(2)EDTA·2H(2)O:AlCl(3) molar ratio of 1.8–3.6. The recovery rates of the improved method for seven viruses, including SARS-CoV-2-abEN pseudovirus and six animal viruses, were 5.9–22.3% in tap water and 4.9–35.1% in wastewater. Rotavirus A (9.0–4.5 × 10(3) copies/mL), porcine circovirus type 2 (5.8–6.4 × 10(5) copies/mL), and porcine parvovirus (5.6–2.7 × 10(4) copies/mL) were detected in China’s pig farm wastewater, while rotavirus A (2.0 × 10(3) copies/mL) was detected in hospital wastewater. SARS-CoV-2 was detected in hospital wastewater (8.4 × 10(2) to 1.4 × 10(4) copies/mL), sewage (6.4 × 10 to 2.3 × 10(3) copies/mL), and river water (6.6 × 10 to 9.3 × 10 copies/mL) in Nepal. The method was automized, with a rate of recovery of 4.8 ± 1.4% at a virus concentration of 10(2) copies/mL. Thus, the established method could be used for wastewater-based epidemiology with sufficient sensitivity in coping with the COVID-19 epidemic and other virus epidemics. | ACS ES T Water | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1325 | Performance of Valved Respirators to Reduce Emission of Respiratory Particles Generated by Speaking [Image: see text] Wearing of face coverings serves two purposes: reducing the concentration of ambient particles inhaled and reducing the emission of respiratory particles generated by the wearer. The efficiency of different face coverings depends on the material, design, and fit. Face coverings such as N95 respirators, when worn properly, are highly efficient at filtering ambient particles during inhalation. Some N95 respirators, as well as other face covering types, include a one-way valve to allow easier exhalation while still maintaining a high efficiency of filtration of inhaled ambient particles. The extent to which these valves decrease the efficiency of filtration of emitted respiratory particles is, however, not well established. Here, we show that different valved N95s exhibit highly variable filtration efficiencies for exhaled respiratory particles. As such, valved N95s may not provide reliable source control of respired particles and their use should be discouraged in situations in which such source control is needed. | Environ Sci Technol Lett | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1326 | Development and Validation of a Simplified Method for Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in University Dormitories [Image: see text] Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, wastewater surveillance has become a useful tool for describing SARS-CoV-2 prevalence in populations of varying size, from individual facilities (e.g., university residence halls, nursing homes, prisons) to entire municipalities. Wastewater analysis for SARS-CoV-2 RNA requires specialized equipment, expensive consumables, and expert staff, limiting its feasibility and scalability. Further, the extremely labile nature of viral RNA complicates sample transportation, especially in regions with limited access to reliable cold chains. Here, we present a new method for wastewater analysis, termed exclusion-based sample preparation (ESP), that substantially simplifies workflow (at least 70% decrease in time; 40% decrease in consumable usage compared with traditional techniques) by targeting the labor-intensive processing steps of RNA purification and concentration. To optimize and validate this method, we analyzed wastewater samples from residence halls at the University of Kentucky, of which 34% (44/129) contained detectible SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Although concurrent clinical testing was not comprehensive, student infections were identified in the 7 days following a positive wastewater detection in 68% of samples. This pilot study among university residence halls validated the performance and utility of the ESP method, laying the foundation for future studies in regions of the world where wastewater testing is not currently feasible. | ACS ES T Water | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1327 | Molecular Monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 in Different Sewage Plants in Venice and the Implications for Genetic Surveillance [Image: see text] Wastewater-based epidemiology is now widely used as an indirect tool to monitor the spread of SARS-CoV-2. In this study, five different sample matrices representing diverse phases of the wastewater treatment process were collected during the second wave of SARS-CoV-2 from two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) serving the Civil Hospital and Sacca Fisola island in Venice, Italy. Positive SARS-CoV-2 detections occurred at both WWTPs, and data on viral genome detection rate and quantification suggest that the pellet (i.e., the particulate resulting from the influent) is a sensitive matrix that permits reliable assessment of infection prevalence while reducing time to results. On the contrary, analysis of post-treatment matrices provides evidence of the decontamination efficacy of both WWTPs. Finally, direct sequencing of wastewater samples enabled us to identify B.1.177 and B.1.160 as the prevalent SARS-CoV-2 lineages circulating in Venice at the time of sampling. This study confirmed the suitability of wastewater testing for studying SARS-CoV-2 circulation and established a simplified workflow for the prompt detection and characterization of the virus. | ACS ES T Water | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1328 | The trend of drowning before and after COVID-19 pandemic in Qazvin province: an area without sea shores in Iran BACKGROUND: Drowning is one of the leading causes of unintentional mortality in Iran. The COVID-19 pandemic combined with drowning has indirectly affected the community. Qazvin province has had a remarkable rate of drowning. This study aimed to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on drowning in this province. METHODS: In a cross-sectional study that used the national drowning registry database, all of the people in Qazvin who drowned between March 2017 to March 2021 were compared. Data were collected from the database of Emergency Medical Services in Qazvin and analyzed by SPSS software. Descriptive and Poisson regression and time series analysis were used. RESULTS: The number of missions before the COVID-19 outbreak was 35.6 per year and 32 after it. The number of deaths increased from 12.3 to 15. The mean age of the patients was 27.53 and 26.92 years before and after the pandemic, respectively. May-June had the highest number of drownings. Most of the drownings before and after COVID-19 belonged to the male gender. The number of missions in rural and urban areas increased after the COVID-19 outbreak, while all drowning callings outside urban and rural areas decreased. According to Poisson's estimation regression model, the drowning trend diminished with a coefficient of -0.037 and was statistically significant at p = 0.032. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of the study indicated that COVID-19 did not impact the frequency pattern of drownings in Qazvin. However, the increased number of drownings in agricultural pools and urban water channels was significant. Travel restrictions, pool closures, and decreased global warming due to lockdown could have been effective on the number of drownings. Therefore, it is recommended that policymakers consider drowning prevention planning with priority given to young age groups.

| 1329 | Impact of delivery performance on online review ratings: the role of temporal distance of ratings Customers are increasingly using online reviews in their purchase decision-making processes. As sellers benefit from displaying several reviews with favorable ratings, many sellers solicit reviews from customers. When a customer places an order on an e-commerce platform, the seller gets a notification to fulfill the order, and the customer is notified of the estimated delivery date. Some customers receive their products on time, while others receive their orders either earlier or later than the notified delivery date. After customers receive their products, the sellers often solicit reviews. This research focuses on the impact of delivery performance on review ratings. Specifically, this study addresses two questions: (1) Do customers reward sellers for early delivery in the same way they penalize them for late deliveries? (2) What is the role of the temporal distance of rating in online ratings in the context of delivery performance? The study estimates ordinal logit models in the Bayesian framework. Findings of the study indicate that customers give much lower (a little higher) ratings to orders delivered late (early) than to orders delivered on time. Further, the findings indicate that temporal distance is positively associated with ratings for late deliveries. The study discusses the theoretical and managerial implications of these results. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1330 | An Intelligent IoT Monitoring and Prediction System for Health Critical Conditions Diabetes is considered among the major critical health conditions (chronic disease) around the world. This is due the fact that Glucose level could change drastically and lead to critical conditions reaching to death in some advance cases. To prevent this issues, diabetes patient are always advised to monitor their glucose level at least three times a day. Fingertip pricking - as the traditional method for glucose level tracking - leads patients to be distress and it might infect the skin. In some cases, tracking the glucose level might be a hard job especially if the patient is a child, senior, or even have several other health issues. In this paper, an optimum solution to this drawback by adopting the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)-based non-invasive strategies has been proposed. Near-Infrared (NIR) -as an optical method of the non-invasive technique - has been adopted to help diabetic patients in continuously monitoring their blood without pain. The proposed solution will alert the patients’ parents or guardians of their situation when they about to reach critical conditions specially at night by sending alarms and notifications by Short Messages (SMS) along with the patients current location to up to three people. Moreover, a Machine Learning (ML) model is implemented to predict future events where the patient might have serious issues. This model prediction is best practice in this chronic health domain as it has never been implemented to predicted a future forecast of the patient chart. Multivariate Time-Series data set (i.e. AIM ’94) has been used to train the proposed ML model. The collected data shows a high level of accuracy when predicting serious critical conditions in Glucose levels. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |

| 1332 | Review of the Pathophysiologic and Clinical Aspects of Hypokalemia in Children and Young Adults: an Update This article examines the regulatory function of the skeletal muscle, renal, and adrenergic systems in potassium homeostasis. The pathophysiologic bases of hypokalemia, systematic approach for an early diagnosis, and therapeutic strategy to avert life-threatening complications are highlighted. By promoting skeletal muscle uptake, intense physical exercise (post), severe trauma, and several toxins produce profound hypokalemia. Hypovolemia due to renal and extra-renal fluid losses and ineffective circulation activate secondary aldosteronism causing urinary potassium wasting. In addition to hypokalemic alkalosis, primary aldosteronism causes low-renin hypertension. Non-aldosterone mineralocorticoid activation leading to low-renin and low-aldosterone hypertension occurs in Liddle’s syndrome and apparent mineralocorticoid excess. Although there is enzymatic inhibition of cortisol synthesis in congenital adrenal hyperplasia, precursors of aldosterone produce low-renin hypokalemic hypertension. In addition to the glucocorticoid effect, hypercortisolism activates mineralocorticoid receptors in Cushing’s syndrome. Genetic mutations involving furosemide-sensitive Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(−) co-transporters and thiazide-sensitive Na(+)-Cl(−) transporters result in (non-hypertensive) salt-wasting nephropathy. Proximal and distal renal tubular acidosis is associated with hypokalemia. Eating disorders causing hypokalemia include bulimia, laxative abuse, and diuretic misuse. Low urinary potassium (<15 mmol/day) and/or low urinary chloride (<20 mol/L) suggest a gastrointestinal pathology. Co-morbidity of hypokalemia with chronic pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases may increase the fatality rate. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |

| 1334 | Verschwörungsdenken, Wahn und Virtualität “Nothing is as it seems”, “nothing happens by chance”, and “everything is connected”—These three basic assumptions characterize conspiracy theories of different provenance. Thus, they show a clear parallelism to the structure of paranoid and delusional experience. However, this is contrasted with important differences, such as the formation of extended groups of conspiracy believers, to which no paranoid “delusional communities” correspond. The paper first examines both phenomena comparatively and then turns to the question of how the virtualization of communication in social media fosters the formation of conspiracy theory communities. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1335 | Spatial contagion during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic: Some lessons from the case of Madrid, Spain This paper analyses the magnitude of the spatial transmission of COVID‐19 through the municipalities of the region of Madrid during the first pandemic wave using a spatial contagion index. The study also provides additional insights into the main factors contributing to the spread of the virus in both time and space by estimating a novel conditional spatial contagion index. Our results reveal high values of spatial contagion before and during the national lockdown enacted on 15 March 2020, becoming medium/low since then. Furthermore, the study confirms the leading role of inter‐municipal mobility and population density in spatial contagion. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1336 | Impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak on older-age cohorts in European Labor Markets: A machine learning exploration of vulnerable groups We identify vulnerable groups through the examination of their employment status in the face of the initial coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) shock through the application of tree‐based ensemble machine learning algorithms on a sample of individuals over 50 years old. The present study elaborates on the findings through various interpretable machine learning techniques, namely Shapley values, individual conditional expectations, partial dependences, and variable importance scores. The structure of the data obtained from the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) dataset enables us to specifically observe the before versus the after effects of the pandemic shock on individual job status in spatial labor markets. We identify small but distinct subgroups that may require particular policy interventions. We find that the persons in these groups are prone to pandemic‐related job loss owing to different sets of individual‐level factors such as employment type and sector, age, education, and prepandemic health status in addition to location‐specific factors such as drops in mobility and stringency policies affecting particular regions or countries. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1337 | Will COVID-19 hinder or aid the transition to sustainable urban mobility? Spotlight on Portugal's largest urban agglomeration This study discusses the possible effects of two major COVID‐19 disruptions – that is, the widespread adoption of working from home and the ‘bio‐security’ fear affecting public transport – on travel patterns in Lisbon urban agglomeration. Drawing on evidence from the literature on the effects of teleworking on travel demand and the determinants of public transport, together with the analysis of travel data before and during the pandemic, the study concludes that the pandemic may hinder, more than aid, the transition to a sustainable mobility paradigm in Lisbon and its metropolitan area. The analysis of monthly travel demand shows that car use has recovered at a faster rate than public transport use, reaching pre‐pandemic levels in some of the main arterial roads serving Lisbon. There appears to be a substitution of public transport trips by both driving and active micromobility. The main losers so far are public transport operators: the pandemic increased operating deficits and the need for additional public subsidies, putting at risk the future financial sustainability of public transport. Without serious commitment by local and national governments, the pandemic is likely to be another missed opportunity to transition to a better, more sustainable, urban mobility system. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1338 | The effect of COVID-19 on long-distance transport services in France This paper explores the effect of COVID‐19 on long‐distance transport services in France. These services have been deeply impacted by the different lockdowns imposed. However, until now, few papers have considered this topic. The research examines the long‐distance transportation market before COVID‐19 to understand how it adapted to the COVID‐19 countermeasures. The empirical research is based on a large pool of data pertaining to four transport routes in France from September 2019 to November 2021 for four modes (coach, carpooling, train, and air). Prices and frequencies are the main variables. The study's results must be considered carefully because the pandemic is ongoing. The first finding is the severe crisis in terms of supply during the first lockdown in March 2020. Throughout the rest of 2020 and 2021, services increased slowly, with rail and carpooling recovering to almost their 2019 levels, though this is not yet the case for coach and air services. The second finding is that the dominant mode, rail, enjoys the greatest market concentration, especially in comparison to air, which is still experiencing difficulties because of the reduction in the business market. The last finding highlights the persistence of conventional services during the different lockdowns and the high variability of low‐cost services, which disappeared during the crisis. However, mainly thanks to state financial support, no operator went bankrupt or left the market. Finally, low‐cost services were recovering faster in autumn 2021 than conventional services, thereby increasing their market share. The crisis in the business market may explain the difficulty conventional services face whereas low‐cost services are better adapted to the leisure market. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1339 | Which factors influence mobility change during COVID-19 in Germany? Evidence from German county data This study analyzes the role of regional demographic, socioeconomic, and political factors in mobility changes during the COVID‐19 pandemic in Germany. Spatial econometric models are applied using data from the 401 counties in Germany. The model incorporates measures to reduce potential endogeneity effects. Our results show that mobility change shows significant socioeconomic heterogeneity, which could affect future policy measures to contain the pandemic. For example, case numbers and the share of academics are negatively associated with changes in mobility. On the contrary, a region's mean age and rural location have a positive impact. Political and economic implications of the results are discussed. The findings point to a possible reorganization of spatial, economic, and social activities beyond the course of the pandemic. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |

The final output of the course is a participatory action research project. I developed an engaged pedagogical framework, which draws from the works of Jennifer Ayres that incorporated theological, philosophical, and ecological principles in teaching and facilitating students' research. The development of the tenets, the flourishing of all, right relations, and praxis began from a deep engagement with my students whose influence in the religious and cultural lives of the Filipinos could add to the flourishing of ecological consciousness of the Catholic community in the Philippines. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |

Highlights from Lyon metropolitan area This article focuses on the decline in the use of public transport in the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) crisis in the Lyon metropolitan area, France. Using data from a web‐based survey, supplemented by traffic counts and a qualitative survey, we explain this decline by the decrease in out‐of‐home activities such as work and the concomitant increase in teleworking, as well as by modal transfers. We test these explanations by multiple regression models that include socio‐demographic, residential, professional and attitudinal variables. We conclude with a discussion on the lasting of these changes and their implications for mobility policy. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1343 | Evolution of urban mobility behaviour in Brussels as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic The goal of this research is to understand the impact of COVID‐19 restriction measures on the change in urban mobility in Brussels, Belgium. With daily data over the past 2 years depicting both the affluence to different places and the level and type of restrictions, we investigate through regression analysis their impacts on the changes in driving, public transport and cycling use. We find that cycling increased significantly (+63%), and that driving levels have returned to pre‐COVID levels after a significant reduction in spring 2020, while the return to public transport has been slower. We also find that the change in cycling use was not influenced by COVID‐19 restrictions, although telework and closing of retail establishments strongly affected the other modes. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |

| 1346 | Middle East Pre-Existing Conditions: Regional Security after Covid-19 This article analyzes the underlying human insecurities and changing geopolitical alliances in the Middle East during the past decade to assess the most likely short‐ and medium‐term impacts of Covid‐19 on the global security environment. In particular, it focuses on the “pre‐existing conditions” for instability in the Middle East, and the opportunity that the pandemic might have to exacerbate them. The region will likely face a growing regional‐security dilemma compounded by challenges that are now too familiar: the further entrenchment of political authoritarianism, violent sectarian conflicts, regional rivalries, and the radicalization and recruitment efforts by terrorist and extremist groups. While the pandemic has not led to a significant rise in terrorism and extremist violence, it has worsened fragility and accelerated economic decline. This has increased political instability, which, in turn, makes violence more likely. The civil wars in Syria and Yemen, continued threats from Salafi‐Jihadi extremism, massive displacement, sectarianism, and rising inequalities between the rich and the extremely poor are to blame for such fragility. Given the lack of economic resilience and the significant fragility of many Arab states, as well as the availability of advanced military technology in the region, the resulting political, socioeconomic, humanitarian, and security challenges could be devastating. | N/A | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
| 1347 | Quality of life in liver transplant recipients during the COVID-19 pandemic: A multicenter study BACKGROUND: Liver transplant recipients require specific clinical and psychosocial attention given their frailty. Main aim of the study was to assess the quality of life after liver transplant during the current pandemic. METHODS: This multicentre study was conducted in clinically stable, liver transplanted patients. Enrollment opened in June and finished in September 2021. Patients completed a survey including lifestyle data, quality of life (Short Form health survey), sport, employment, diet. To examine the correlations, we calculated Pearson coefficients while to compare subgroups, independent samples t‐tests and ANOVAs. To detect the predictors of impaired quality of life, we used multivariable logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: We analysed data from 511 patients observing significant associations between quality of life’s physical score and both age and adherence to Mediterranean diet (p < .01). A significant negative correlation was observed between mental score and the sedentary activity (p < .05). Female patients scored significantly lower than males in physical and mental score. At multivariate analysis, females were 1.65 times more likely to report impaired physical score than males. Occupation and physical activity presented significant positive relation with quality of life. Adherence to Mediterranean diet was another relevant predictor. Regarding mental score, female patients were 1.78 times more likely to show impaired mental score in comparison with males. Sedentary activity and adherence to Mediterranean diet were further noteworthy predictors. CONCLUSIONS: Females and subjects with sedentary lifestyle or work inactive seem to show the worst quality of life and both physical activity and Mediterranean diet might be helpful to improve it. | Liver Int | 2022 | CORD-19 | |
