| 1761 | Classification and Quantification of Urban Geodiversity and Its Intersection with Cultural Heritage Urban geodiversity is a complex entity that includes both natural and anthropogenic geological and geomorphological elements, thus requiring broad and interdisciplinary approach to its inventorying and assessment. To estimate and evaluate the widest possible range of urban geodiversity, and to explore the intersection between geo- and cultural heritage, an inventory of 615 natural and anthropogenic geological features of the city of Poznań, Poland, has been established. The preferences of the general public were studied to examine the possibilities of developing urban geotourism. Statistical analyses allowed the estimation of the reliability of the assessment method. The study shows that in the urban environment, anthropogenic geodiversity is rich, although in most cases it scores low in the evaluation. The results of the quantitative assessment reveal few significant correlations showing that the criteria used are not overlapping. However, the preferences of potential geotourists are not consistent with the outcome of the quantitative evaluation. Landforms significantly altered or completely destroyed by human geomorphosites, located in the city centre and close to tourist venues, were selected the most times by the users of the interactive map, but none of these geodiversity sites are included in existing geosite inventories, and most of them ranked low in the assessment process. Studies of potential geotourists’ preferences are therefore required before any strategy for tourism development is adopted.

| 1763 | A Blockchain-Based Solution for COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution The COVID-19 vaccine distribution chain faced multiple challenges associated with the lack of production capacity, security issues, and miscommunication between different actors. Blockchain technology has been shown to solve the security and miscommunication issues in other industries. We first identify distribution chain challenges via literature reviews and primary interviews. Case studies that solved these challenges in other industries also served as a source. This information allowed us to devise a blockchain framework for the vaccine distribution chain and evaluate its application feasibility. We present the framework using data flow diagrams. The proposed framework helps minimize the circulation of counterfeit vaccines and vaccination records, improves communication between stakeholders in the distribution chain, increases supply chain security, and simplifies vaccine inventorying and handling processes. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 1764 | Young Peoples' Construction of DIY Dirt Jumps in Melbourne, Australia, Throughout the Covid-19 Lockdowns Access to public space is critically important for young people, providing key opportunities for self-expression, independence, identity development and relationship building. The Covid-19 pandemic has profoundly affected how young people can engage with public spaces. In Melbourne, Australia, young people have experienced 262 days in lockdown, contributing to escalating anxiety and depression, social isolation, physical health impacts and increased exposure to family conflict and family violence. Throughout this time, there has been a proliferation of young people constructing DIY dirt jumps across Melbourne. This article analyses this unstructured production of public space, focusing on one case study and drawing from council responses. I suggest that through this practice, young people challenge adult interpretations of public space, intentionally or unintentionally, resisting adult control of public space at a time when young people have been denied opportunities for independence and autonomy. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 1765 | 妊娠中期に重症化した新型コロナウイルス感染症に対して集学的加療を行い母子ともに救命した1例(A case of a pregnant woman with severe COVID-19 who was treated by multidisciplinary therapy) We report a case of a patient with coronavirus disease (COVID–19) in the second trimester of pregnancy who was started on venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV–ECMO) immediately after a cesarean section with ventilation and prone positioning, resulting in a good outcome for both the mother and the child. The patient, a woman in her 30s was transferred to our hospital due to worsening respiratory status at 28 weeks and 0 days of gestation, 8 days after the onset of COVID–19. On the second day, she was started on mechanical ventilation. Although the period of pregnancy was prolonged by prone ventilation, because the PaO(2)/FiO(2) ratio (P/F) decreased to 76, we performed a cesarean section on the eighth day. She was started on VV–ECMO on the ninth day. Thereafter, her respiratory condition gradually improved, and she was weaned from VV–ECMO on the twenty–second day. Later, she was extubated on the twenty–fourth day and transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward on the thirtieth day. In cases of COVID–19 that become severe in the second trimester of pregnancy, multidisciplinary treatment is necessary, taking into consideration the number of weeks of pregnancy. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 1766 | A case study of adult education and literacy programs and the transition to remote services during the COVID-19 pandemic The COVID‐19 pandemic drastically impacted the Texas Division of Adult Education. As a result, Texas's grant‐funded adult education and literacy (AEL) programs transitioned to remote instruction. There was a need to understand how this unfolded. Thus, the purpose of this case study was to explore how the Texas Division of Adult Education guided AEL programs in the transition to remote services. Several published records were collected and analyzed using document and content analysis. The research findings revealed effective crisis management strategies and professional development interventions implemented by state leadership. This study also highlights the challenges and potential advantages of remote learning. These outcomes are helpful because they could guide other state agencies in incorporating remote learning courses. Ultimately, professional development training evaluations indicated the need for further program support to foster training transfer. This article concludes with implications for AEL programs and suggestions for future research. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 1767 | Diabetes care in the time of COVID-19: video consultation as a means of diabetes management Background: This review specifically focuses on the use of video consultation in diabetes management, in comparison to standard care. The population of chronic condition sufferers in the UK is considerable and teleconsultation use has, in recent years, been explored. COVID‐19 has created an additional pressure on health services to use teleconsultation. Diabetes mellitus affects approximately four million people in the UK. If clinical outcomes are uncompromised, the benefits of using a remote service could encourage the use of video consultation for diabetes management in normal practice. Aims: A systematic review of the use of video consultation in place of standard consultation in the management of diabetes mellitus. Both clinical and non‐clinical outcomes are reviewed, in addition to patient satisfaction levels after using video consultation. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted to select published articles from web‐based health databases. Data extraction and analysis of results followed. Results: Twelve studies were selected. Overall, the clinical outcomes (HbA(1c), low‐density lipoprotein levels and blood pressure) appeared to be uncompromised with the use of video consultation. Patient satisfaction was high, with few limitations found. The economic and time saving benefits of this approach proved to be additional advantages. Conclusions: Despite there being a lack of literature identified in this field, the results support the use of video consultation in diabetes management. The evidence suggests that this approach should be utilised in the time of COVID‐19 and beyond. Future research should assess the use of video consultation over a reasonable duration through randomised controlled trials. Copyright © 2022 John Wiley & Sons. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 1770 | Psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on hospital workers in Kobe: A cross-sectional survey AIM: Many health‐care workers exposed to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) are psychologically distressed. This study aimed to investigate the psychological impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on hospital workers under the emergency declaration in Japan. METHODS: This cross‐sectional, survey‐based study collected sociodemographic data and responses to 19 stress‐related questions and the Impact of Event Scale‐Revised (IES‐R), which measures post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, from all 3217 staff members at Kobe City Medical Center General Hospital from April 16, 2020 to June 8, 2020. Exploratory factor analysis was applied to the 19 stress‐related questions. Multiple regression models were used to evaluate the association of personal characteristics with each score of the four factors and the IES‐R. RESULTS: We received 951 valid responses; 640 of these were by females, and 311 were by respondents aged in their 20s. Nurses accounted for the largest percentage of the job category. Women, those aged in their 30s–50s, nurses, and frontline workers had a high risk of experiencing stress. The prevalence of stress (IES‐R ≥ 25) was 16.7%. The psychological impact was significantly greater for those aged in their 30s–50s and those who were not medical doctors. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to examine the stress of hospital workers, as measured by the IES‐R, under the emergency declaration in Japan. It showed that women, those aged in their 30s–50s, nurses, and frontline workers have a high risk of experiencing stress. Health and medical institutions should pay particular attention to the physical and psychological health of these staff members. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 1771 | Knowledge management and knowledge security-Building an integrated framework in the light of COVID-19 This paper presents a framework of knowledge risk management in the face of the COVID‐19 crisis, derived from the literature on knowledge management, knowledge security, and COVID‐19. So far, both researchers and practitioners have focused on knowledge as an asset and their efforts have been aimed at the implementation of knowledge management in various organizational contexts. However, with increasing threats related to cyberattacks or hazards associated with knowledge loss (as magnified by the COVID‐19 crisis), there is a growing need to account for knowledge‐related risks. In this conceptual paper, we integrate the contributions from the knowledge management and knowledge security fields, together with research on COVID‐19 to help organizations protect the knowledge they create, store and share. Based on a structured literature review, our investigation provides researchers and managers with a framework for securely handling organizational knowledge in a critical situation. Our framework revolves around two foci: one the one hand, building appropriate knowledge risk measures and controls; on the other hand, holistically tackling knowledge risks as part of knowledge management activities. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 1772 | The sociocultural barriers of work-from-home arrangement due to COVID-19 pandemic in Asia: Implications and future implementation The rapidly escalating COVID‐19 pandemic entails many unprecedented life circumstances, including in the way people work. The social distancing policy has forced companies to adopt work‐from‐home (WFH) arrangement to maintain business sustainability amidst both health and economic crises. While in many developed countries, WFH arrangement has been a common practice, this is not the case in some Asian countries, particularly in countries where high power distance emphasising heightened supervision and punishment among workers are still a preferred managerial style, such as Indonesia, China, India, and Thailand. While acknowledging that WFH is considered as beyond an option in this pandemic period, this commentary paper, built on existing literature presented in the narrative fashion, aims to critically identify key barriers of WFH implementation in some Asian countries, particularly in autocratic societies, using both theoretical and contextual approaches. The paper concludes by discussing recommendation for future studies and proposing strategic implications for companies and workers to effectively adopt WFH arrangement, especially in societies where WFH is still a new practice or is involuntarily held. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 1773 | Perceived risk and sensitivity and their influence on expatriate performance during the COVID-19 pandemic The COVID 19 pandemic has changed the way that global businesses function, and has been the driving force behind a reevaluation of the factors that influence expatriate performance. This study empirically examines the mediating effects of perceived risk and sensitivity in the relationship between self‐initiated expatriates support mechanisms (perceived organizational support and host‐country national support) and expatriate performance during the COVID‐19 pandemic. The data from 114 expatriates working and residing in Malaysia between March 27 and May 14, 2020 was analyzed using structural equation modelling. The results from the study indicate that host country national support significantly influences expatriate performance indirectly through expatriate engagement, while perceived risk and sensitivity moderate the relationship between perceived organizational support and host country national support through expatriate engagement. The integration of factors that influence work performance during a pandemic, such as perceived risk and sensitivity, leads to a more concise view of expatriation. Organizations need to be more prepared in terms of risk induced scenarios, and propose suitable intervention programs to mitigate the potential negative outcomes due to a pandemic. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 1775 | The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on melanoma diagnoses INTRODUCTION: We investigated whether governmental measures and lockdowns during the COVID‐19 pandemic had an impact on the number and histopathologic stages of melanoma. METHODS: The number and thickness (Breslow) of all diagnosed melanomas per day, month, or period at the ‘Institute for Pathology in the Centre’ in 2019 and 2020 were compared. For 2020, we defined four time periods: Period 1: 1 January–15 March; Period 2: 16 March–15 May (Lockdown 1); Period 3: 16 May–2 November; Period 4: 3 November–7 December (Lockdown 2). RESULTS: We found similar melanoma numbers in 2019 (577) and 2020 (608). The mean number of diagnoses per day during Lockdown 1 (Period 2) was significantly lower (0.87 melanomas/day; p = 0.005) when compared to the respective time periods in 2019 and to the other three periods in 2020 (Period 1: 1.65 melanomas/day, Period 3: 1.77 melanomas/day, and Period 4: 2.49 melanomas/day). Tumour thickness in July 2020 (1.9 mm) was significantly higher (p = 0.02) than in July 2019 (1.1 mm). DISCUSSION: The significant lower number of histopathologic diagnoses of melanoma during ‘Lockdown 1’ may be explained by postponed or missed patient consultations. This assumption is supported by the demonstration of a higher tumour thickness in July and August 2020, compared to 2019. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

Method s: The study was a single–center, retrospective cohort study of COVID–19 patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation on their scheduled corticosteroid termination day between March 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021. The scheduled corticosteroid termination day was scheduled 10 days after initiation of dexamethasone 6mg orally or 6.6mg intravenously. Patients who terminated corticosteroids during the ventilatory period and did not receive corticosteroids thereafter were defined as the termination group, whereas patients who continued to receive corticosteroids in some form after the scheduled corticosteroid termination day were defined as the continuation group. The primary endpoint was 28–day mortality, and the difference was evaluated using the log–rank test. Results : The 28–day mortality was found to be 61% (14 of 23 patients) in the termination group, which was significantly higher than the 28–day mortality of 22% (5 of 23 patients) in the continuation group (Hazard Ratio: 3.82, 95% CI: 1.37–10.68; p=0.005). Conclusions : In severe COVID–19 patients, corticosteroid termination during invasive ventilation is associated with an increased 28–day mortality. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

Those reported in children are different and include macular, papular, lichenoid, vesicular, urticarial, and vascular morphologies, among others. The prognosis of isolated cutaneous involvement in COVID‐19 in children is usually self‐limiting but the extreme variety of clinical presentations complicates the clinical approach. METHODS: Numerous reviews have been systematically drafted and edited giving the clinicians a future direction for skin presentations during pandemics. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Hereby we report the rare and common manifestations of COVID‐19 in children and question the recurrence phenomena and age‐related distribution of the eruptions. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 1780 | Factors and challenges influencing work-related outcomes of the enforced work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic: Preliminary evidence from Indonesia This study investigates the socio‐demographic factors and work from home challenges associated with job satisfaction and work performance. Using a cross‐sectional survey design and convenience sampling, data from 482 Indonesian employees were gathered via a web‐based questionnaire. Bivariate analysis was used to assess job satisfaction and work performance differences across several socio‐demographic factors. Hierarchical linear regression was performed to identify the contribution of socio‐demographic factors and work from home challenges on job satisfaction and work performance. All work from home challenges, with the exception of social isolation, linked significantly to job satisfaction and work performance. However, no significant differences in job satisfaction and work performance were found across most socio‐demographic factors. Our final model suggests that, after controlling socio‐demographic and work from home challenges, the length of employment and job satisfaction were the most significant determinants of work performance. This study provides insights for organizations wishing to raise employees’ satisfaction, and maximize the benefits gained by addressing work from home challenges, by improving some of the less favorable work from home practices of the past. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 1781 | COVID-19 pandemic influence on organizational knowledge management systems and practices: Insights from an Indian engineering services organization COVID‐19 pandemic unleashed uncertainties around the world. Organizations scrambled to ensure business continuity. COVID‐19 pandemic was unprecedented as disruptions were far beyond business continuity scenarios planning with respect to severities, timelines, and geographies. Initially, business disruptions were assumed to last just for a few days or weeks at a local governing region, county, or state level. However, the pandemic lasted much longer and sustained efforts were needed to stay compliant with ever‐evolving and changing local, state, federal, and international guidelines, rules, and regulations. Prolonged work from home became an unavoidable and only way to ensure business continuity for many service‐oriented organizations. Organizations not only tried to leverage existing knowledge management (KM) practices but also were compelled to critically relook at the efficacy and effectiveness of KM practices. Organizational KM systems and practices (OKMSP) in a typical Indian engineering consulting and design organization were studied. The changes in employee perceptions about OKMSP during the pandemic period were captured and critically analyzed. The study evaluated employee perceptions related to four critical aspects of OKMSP namely, KM processes, usage of KM tools, KM effectiveness, and KM culture. Lack of face‐to‐face meetings during the COVID‐19 period made an important change in the way of working. This paper captures COVID‐19 pandemic‐induced changes and provides pointers to further research opportunities in the field of OKMSP. The study highlights the need for robust knowledge management systems to face pandemic‐induced disruptions. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 1782 | Spontaneous charitable donations in Sweden before and after COVID: A natural experiment Did the outbreak of COVID‐19 influence spontaneous donation behavior? To investigate this, we conducted a natural experiment on real donation data. We analyzed the absolute amount, and the proportion of total payments, donated by individuals to charitable organizations via Swish—a widely used mobile online payment application through which most Swedes prefer to make their donations to charity—each day of 2019 and 2020. Spontaneous charitable donations were operationalized as Swish‐payments to numbers starting with 90, as this number is a nationally acknowledged quality control label that is provided to all fundraising operations that are monitored by the Swedish Fundraising Control. The results show that the Swish‐donations fluctuated substantially depending on season (less donations in January–February and during the summer months, and more donations in April–May and during the last months of the year) and specific events (peaks in Swish‐donations often coincided with televised charity fundraising galas). Interrupted time‐series analyses revealed that spontaneous donations were overall unaffected by the pandemic outbreak. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 1784 | The impact of meteorological factors on COVID-19 of California and its lag effect As of March 30, 2021, COVID‐19 has been circulating globally for more than 1 year, posing a huge threat to the safety of human life and property. Understanding the relationship between meteorological factors and the COVID‐19 can provide positive help for the prevention and control of the global epidemic. We take California as the research object, use Geodetector to screen out the meteorological factors with the strongest explanatory power for the epidemic, then use partial correlation analysis to study the correlation between the two, and finally construct a distributed lag non‐linear model (DLNM) to further explore the relationship between the dominant factor and COVID‐19 and its lag effect. It turns out that temperature has a greater impact on COVID‐19 and the two have a significant negative correlation. When the temperature is lower than 50°F, it has a significant promotion effect on the epidemic, and the relative risk (RR) increases approximately exponentially as the temperature decreases. The delayed effect of the cold effect on the epidemic can be as long as 15 days. This study has shown that more attention should be paid to epidemic prevention and control when the temperature is low, and the delay effect of temperature on the spread of the epidemic cannot be ignored. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 1785 | Managing COVID-19-related knowledge: A smart cities perspective Effective management of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) and the urgent need to improve epidemic prevention require rapid response and immediate solutions, deploying appropriate knowledge management procedures and facilitating effective decision‐making and managerial efforts. The increased adoption of smart cities (SC) technologies offers various technologies that can support knowledge capturing, acquisition, sharing, and transferring. However, knowledge management practitioners and decision‐makers face various challenges to manage huge data generated from the various SC platforms. Managing COVID‐19‐related knowledge necessitates filtering, cleaning, keeping, and sharing only useful data. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate managing knowledge related to COVID‐19 from a SC perspective. The methodological approach for this study is a systematic literature review. The findings indicate that SC technologies, through the advanced deployment of information communications technology (ICT) applications, have a crucial role in knowledge capturing and sharing. Smart cities strategies enable knowledge extraction through facilitating data collection and analysis over various disparate databases, as well as facilitating quick and accurate handling and analysis of huge and unpredicted amount of data. Managing knowledge related to COVID‐19 pandemic has the potential to improve the planning, treatment and controlling the pandemic, enhance decision‐making, and enable disaster management. However, the managing of a huge amount of complex, unstructured data and information remains a big challenge for COVID‐19 knowledge management (KM) initiatives. The paper proposes a conceptual model and illustrates the various components and links between SC strategies, KM and COVID‐19, and how this can inform, facilitate, and enhance decision‐making to take steps for the path of recovery. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 1786 | Psychological symptoms and related risk factors among healthcare workers and medical students during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate the mental health status of healthcare workers and medical students during the early phase of the COVID‐19 pandemic. METHODS: An online questionnaire was administered to 637 students and 3189 healthcare workers from May to July, 2020. The patient healthcare questionnaire‐9 (PHQ‐9) and state anxiety (A‐State) of the state–trait anxiety inventory‐form (STAI) were used to assess depression and anxiety symptoms, respectively. Individuals were categorized into severe (15 or higher) depression and severe (50–51 or higher) anxiety groups. RESULTS: Healthcare workers and those taking care of COVID‐19 patients had a higher risk of severe depression (PHQ‐9 scores >15) than other comparison groups. Students and men also had a higher risk of severe anxiety (STAI > 50–51). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that healthcare workers had a fivefold higher risk of developing severe depression symptoms (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 4.99, confidence interval [CI] 2.24–5.97, P‐value < 0.001) and those taking care of COVID‐19 patients had 2.8‐fold higher risk of developing severe depression symptoms (OR 2.75, CI 1.36–5.53, P‐value = 0.005). CONCLUSION: Both medical students and healthcare workers have been experiencing depression and anxiety symptoms during the first wave of the pandemic. Our findings showed a high rate of severe anxiety symptoms in medical students and a high rate of severe depression symptoms in healthcare workers. Those who treated COVID‐19 patients were at greater risk of developing major depressive disorder than those who treated non‐COVID‐19 patients. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

While COVID‐19 has caused much business disruption, it cannot be honestly relied upon to justify every business decision that may be subject to challenge. COVID‐19, while frequently a reason, is also sometimes being used as an excuse—sometimes an unpersuasive excuse.

| 1789 | Nonprofit organization communication, crisis planning and strategic responses to the COVID-19 pandemic Nonprofit organizations have somewhat different foci, contexts, and resources than typical for‐profit organizations, so may have experienced and responded to COVID‐19 in ways not covered in traditional corporate research. We investigate the influence of nonprofit organizations' communication support and use, crisis experience and preparation, and extent and impacts of COVID‐19 on their strategic responses to the crisis (from retrenchment to perseverance to innovation). Our study is a longitudinal panel survey conducted with 578 U.S. public charities, once before the pandemic and the other 6 months into it. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to characterize the sample, and hierarchical regressions to assess the influences on strategic responses to the COVID‐19 pandemic. A major finding is that communication with external stakeholders predicted organizations' abilities to maintain core activities (perseverance) during a crisis and to pivot (innovating) on mission delivery. Practical applications for nonprofit organizations are addressed, with particular attention to COVID‐19. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 1790 | Breaking out of the pandemic: How can firms match internal competence with external resources to shape operational resilience? This study explores how firms sought to effectively match their internal competence with external resources from the supply chain network to improve operational resilience (OR) during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Drawing upon matching theory, this study provides an internal–external matching perspective based on flexibility–stability features of OR to explain the operational mechanisms underlying the different matchings between internal flexibility (i.e., product diversity)/stability (i.e., operational efficiency) and external flexibility (i.e., structural holes)/stability (i.e., network centrality). We find that more heterogeneous matchings between internal (external) flexibility and external (internal) stability have a complementary effect that enhances OR, whereas more homogeneous matchings between internal flexibility (or stability) and external flexibility (or stability) have a substitutive effect that reduces OR. This study provides valuable contributions to research focusing on the supply chain, organizational resilience, and operations management. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 1791 | Remote video interface psychological assessment during the COVID-19 pandemic: Experiences of consultants and clients The need for remote psychological assessment came to the fore during the Covid‐19 pandemic lockdown. This paper examines the qualitative experiences of psychologists and patients using remote video interfaces for psychological assessment during that period. The aim was to gain qualitative data on the personal experiences of both parties and explore whether remote assessment via video interface is a satisfactory method for psychological evaluations. Patients were seen for psychological assessments by consultant Clinical and Counselling Psychologists via through videoconference. Consultants and patients were asked about their experience of the video assessment and the consultant recorded their responses. Content Analysis was used to analyse the responses. The remote mode of assessment was found to be satisfactory to both patient and psychologist, although technical issues were highlighted to be the most disruptive to assessments. Consultants reported a certain level of fatigue, particularly after evaluations, and some of them commented that they had to try harder than in a face‐to‐face evaluation. Distraction in the patient environment was considered detrimental. The small sample size which requires further replication studies. Overall, the use of videoconference was found to be a satisfactory method for psychological assessment with some areas for improvement, such as technical difficulties and fatigue. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 1792 | Disability advocates call on CDC to reinstate indoor mask guidelines Dozens of advocacy groups are calling for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to walk back major changes to its mask guidance, arguing that the new recommendations are harmful to people with disabilities, Disability Scoop reported March 7. In a letter to CDC Director Rochelle Walensky late last week, over 100 groups and advocates asked the federal agency to again urge Americans to mask indoors in order to protect the most vulnerable. Under the new recommendations, which are based on a revised set of metrics, the CDC says more than 90% of Americans live in areas with low or medium COVID‐19 risk and can go mask‐free in most circumstances. The advocacy groups are asking Walensky to urge everyone to wear the highest‐quality masks available in all indoor public settings, including schools. “Despite acknowledging that some disabled, chronically ill, immunocompromised, people of color, and older people require additional protections, the new guidance does not address the needs of disabled people and older adults — as well as children with and without disabilities under five who are still not eligible for vaccines,” wrote the National Council on Independent Living, the National Disability Rights Network and numerous other groups, including The Arc and the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law. “This new guidance will not work for these communities and places us and our friends and families in danger.” The CDC did not respond to a request for comment. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 1794 | White knight in dark days? Supply chain finance firms, blockchain and the COVID-19 pandemic We investigate the impact of the announcement of the COVID-19 pandemic on the market value and trading volume of supply chain finance (SCF) firms. Using an event study, we observe a significant valuation loss and higher trading volume of SCF firms. However, blockchain-enabled SCF firms are protected from such valuation loss and volatility in trading. We find that higher research and development (R&D) and capital expenditures by firms prevent the loss. Moreover, the firm value of blockchain-enabled SCF firms is impacted by their membership in a blockchain consortium and progress in blockchain implementation. Investors’ confidence in blockchain reduces the market uncertainty. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 1796 | Long term detection and quantification of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater in Bahrain Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a corroborated environmental surveillance tool in the global fight against SARS-CoV-2. The analysis of wastewater for detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA may assist policymakers to survey a specific infectious community. Herein, we report on a long-term quantification study in Bahrain to investigate the incidence of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ∼260,000 population of Muharraq Island in Bahrain is served by a discrete sewerage catchment, and all wastewater flows to a single large Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) with a capacity of 100,000 m3/day. The catchment is predominately domestic, but also serves several hospitals and Bahrain's international airport. Flow-weighted 24-hour composite wastewater samples for the period February 2020 to October 2021 were analysed for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 N1, N2 and E genes. A Spearman rank correlation demonstrated a moderate correlation between the concentration of SARS-CoV-2 N1, N2 and E genes in the wastewater samples and the number of COVID-19 cases reported on the same day of the sampling. SARS-CoV-2 viral genes were detected in wastewater samples shortly after the first cases of COVID-19 reported by the health authorities in Bahrain by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The viral genes were detected in 55 of 65 samples (84.62%) during whole study period and concentrations range was found to be between 0 and 11,508 RNA copies/mL across viral genes tested (in average N1: 518,4, N2: 366,8 and E: 649 copies/mL). Furthermore, wastewater samples from two COVID-19-dedicated quarantine facilities were analysed and detected higher SARS-CoV-2 genes concentration (range 27-19,068 copies/mL; in average N1: 5,044, N2: 4,833 and E: 8,663 copies/mL). Our results highlight the potential use of RT-qPCR for SARS-CoV-2 detection and quantification in wastewater and present the moderate correlation between concentration of SARS-CoV-2 genes with reported COVID-19 cases for a specified population. Indeed, this study identifies this technique as a mechanism for long term monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 infection levels and hence provides public health and policymakers with a useful environmental surveillance tool during and after the current pandemic. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 1797 | Guidance for gynecologists utilizing telemedicine during COVID-19 pandemic based on expert consensus and rapid literature reviews BACKGROUND: COVID‐19 has impacted delivery of outpatient gynecology and shifted care toward use of telemedicine. OBJECTIVE: To rapidly review literature and society guidelines and create expert consensus to provide guidance regarding management of outpatient gynecology scenarios via telemedicine. SEARCH STRATEGY: Searches were conducted in Medline and Cochrane databases from inception through April 15, 2020. SELECTION CRITERIA: Literature searches were conducted for articles on telemedicine and abnormal uterine bleeding, chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, vaginitis, and postoperative care. Searches were restricted to available English language publications. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Expedited literature review methodology was followed and 10 943 citations were single‐screened. Full‐text articles and relevant guidelines were reviewed and narrative summaries developed. MAIN RESULTS: Fifty‐one studies on the use of telemedicine in gynecology were found. Findings were reported for these studies and combined with society guidelines and expert consensus on four topics (abnormal uterine bleeding, chronic pelvic pain and endometriosis, vaginal discharge, and postoperative care). CONCLUSIONS: Guidance for treating gynecological conditions via telemedicine based on expedited literature review, review of society recommendations, and expert consensus is presented. Due to minimal evidence surrounding telemedicine and gynecology, a final consensus document is presented here that can be efficiently used in a clinical setting. | Int J Gynaecol Obstet | 2020 | | CORD-19 |
| 1798 | The impact of COVID-19 on the interdependence between US and Chinese oil futures markets The oil futures market plays a vital role in the global financial system, especially after the negative future oil price rose during the COVID‐19 pandemic. This paper investigates the COVID‐19 impact on the interdependence between the US and Chinese oil futures markets by extending the dynamic conditional correlation‐generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (DCC‐GARCH) models with incorporating COVID‐19 variables and by applying vector autoregression (VAR) models. Our study reveals that the COVID‐19 pandemic enhanced the long‐run correlation between the two oil markets. In contrast, daily changes in pandemic severity had a negative effect on the short‐term transient correlation. Our results show that COVID‐19 changed the one‐direction causality from the US oil market to the Chinese market in the pre‐COVID period to a bidirectional causal relation between the two markets during the COVID period. It strengthened the volatility spillover effect from the Chinese to US markets. These findings are helpful to regulars' monitoring oil supply chain risk and investors' cross‐market hedging of spillover risks from a systematic risk perspective. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 1799 | Duoethnography as Transformative Praxis: Conversations about Nourishment and Coercion in the COVID-Era Academy This article introduces the feminist praxis of duoethnography as a way to examine the COVID era. As a group of diverse, junior, midcareer, and senior feminist scholars, we developed a methodology to critically reflect on our positions in our institutions and social worlds. As a method, duoethnography emphasizes the dialogical intimacy that can form through anthropological work. While autoethnography draws on individual daily lives to make sense of sociopolitical dynamics, duoethnography emphasizes the relational character of research across people and practices. Taking the relational aspects of knowledge production seriously, we conceptualized this praxis as a transformative method for facilitating radical empathy, mobilizing our collective voice, and merging together our partial truths. As collective authors, interviewers, and interlocutors of this article, the anonymity of duoethnography allows us to vocalize details of the experience of living through COVID‐19 that we could not have safely spoken about publicly or on our own. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
