| 2701 | Classifying multi-level product categories using dynamic masking and transformer models In an online shopping platform, a detailed categorization of the products greatly enhances user navigation. Online retailers also benefit from well-defined product categories as various sales and marketing operations such as special discounts and promotions can be easily done over a set of product categories. Furthermore, incorrect and subjective product categories suggested by an operator can be more easily identified thanks to an automated classification system. In this study, we investigate the task of classifying grocery product categories using product titles. We employ a wide variety of text classification models for this task, including traditional machine learning and deep learning models as well as state-of-the-art transformer models. In our analysis, we specifically focus on the generalizability of the trained classification models to the products of other online retailers, the dynamic masking of infeasible subcategories for pretrained language models, and the impact of incorporating different word embeddings. We observe that the deep learning models and the transformers significantly outperform traditional text classification methods such as XGBoost and SVM, and achieve excellent prediction performance exceeding 90% accuracy and F1-score values. We lastly explore the failure cases where a product is misclassified, and make recommendations for future studies to improve the prediction performance. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 2702 | Establishing Social, Cognitive and Teaching Presence in Online Learning-A Panacea in COVID-19 Pandemic, Post Vaccine and Post Pandemic Times The COVID-19 pandemic has allowed instructors, academicians, and administrators working at institutions of higher education to re-evaluate and re-envision teaching and learning processes. While literature surrounding issues associated with transition to online learning and students’ satisfaction with online courses has started to emerge, there is paucity of work that addresses the gap in research—importance of faculty presence in online classes and how to build strong presence to create meaningful learning experiences for students especially as we continue to adapt to new normal and prepare for post-COVID world. With the primary focus on faculty presence in online classes, this article provides a comprehensive analysis of the effect of the pandemic on teaching and learning and how it influenced academic institutions worldwide. The importance of social, cognitive and teaching presence in online learning and how instructors can work towards building presence in online classes have been presented. The community of inquiry (COI) framework and how instructors can integrate this framework to build faculty presence in online classes has been described. Furthermore, research/evidence-based tips to engage learners and provide optimal learning experiences is presented. These findings may help faculty in applying COI to teaching and learning practices in the post-COVID educational world. This work is of value to faculty, administrators, and instructional designers who are preparing to teach and facilitate academic processes during the pandemic, post-vaccine stage and in the post-pandemic world. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 2703 | Implications of an exogenous shock on wine tourism business: A Portuguese winery perspective This study investigates the impact of an exogenous and unexpected shock (COVID-19) on the wine tourism business from the winery’s perspective. A sample of 146 Portuguese wineries was surveyed. The econometric results show that the share of wine tourism sales, the amount of dependence on exports and the assertiveness of brand recognition have a structural effect on direct-to-consumer tasting room wine sales, even when the winery’s business is disrupted by a shock that degrades the dynamics and flows of international trade. The research establishes a starting point that allows to understand the implications of an exogenous shock on the structure of the winery’s business, calling for further research on the firm’s economic performance as well as on the consumer’s behaviour in a post-pandemic context. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 2704 | Transformational Leadership During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Strengthening Employee Engagement Through Internal Communication This article examines the function of transformational leadership in enhancing employee engagement through internal communication during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure the companies’ sustainability. This article is based on semi-structured interviews with 16 informants (human resources department representatives and employees) from the four industries most impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic: travel, hotel, food and beverage, and retail sectors. The findings reveal that transformational leaders play a critical role in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic by encouraging employees to be innovative and creative, undertaking active actions, and strengthening employee engagement through internal communication. On the other hand, internal communication has changed due to the pandemic, including communication flow, messages, and media. Internal communication has promoted a climate for active communication behaviors encouraging knowledge sharing, collaboration, and creativity-enhancing employee engagement. Through spiritual values, transformational leaders who promote employee engagement amid this crisis ensure the organization's sustainability. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this research suggests that leaders might increase employee engagement by including spiritual values through internal communication. | J Commun Inq | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 2705 | Japanese Graduate Students' Experiences in Online International Development and Peace Through Sport Courses Using English-Medium Instruction During the COVID-19 Pandemic The purpose of this study was to investigate five Japanese graduate (master's level) students’ experiences in online courses in international development and peace through sport that used English as the medium of instruction. The study was situated in the framework of andragogy theory and used a descriptive-qualitative design using an in-depth, semistructured interview approach using online oral and written interviews. Three emergent themes were established. These recurrent themes were (a) learning online specialized content using English as a second language, (b) students’ struggles in group projects through online education, and (c) students’ opinions about the improvement of online education. To better support Japanese graduate students’ online learning, this study encourages academic departments, administrators, and faculty to better design appropriate courses and online activities. This will contribute to a greater appreciation for the richness of sports development and peace and to increasing the availability of meaningful academic and social experiences for graduate students at Japanese universities. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 2706 | Effect of incubation delay and pollution on the transmission dynamics of infectious disease Emerging infectious diseases pose serious threat to human population. Studies suggest that there is correlation between population’s pollution status and emerging infectious diseases. We propose a delayed SIS model to examine the effects of environmental contamination on human health, which can lead to the spread of numerous diseases. A threshold parameter called basic reproduction number has been obtained for the system. Within the sight of time delay, stability analysis for equilibrium points has been obtained. The existence of Hopf bifurcation around endemic equilibrium point pertaining to time delay as a critical parameter is observed. Our study suggests that pollution can have detrimental effects on the spread of disease. Analytical results are supported by numerical simulations. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 2707 | Carbon Emission Risk and Governance Within the hazard and disaster risk research field, explicitly treating carbon emissions as a hazard remains rather nascent. Applying hazard and disaster risk research perspectives to seek new insights on integrated mitigation and adaptation approaches and policy measures is equally elusive. Since China’s pledge to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, the “dual carbon” goals of carbon emission peaking and neutrality have stimulated nationwide attention, research, and policies and action plans. How to ensure that the transition pathways are on track and well-contextualized is one of the crucial challenges for policymakers and practitioners. This article examines the “risks” of missing the carbon neutrality goal at a regional scale in China, denoted as Carbon Emission Risk (CER). Carbon emissions (CE) as hazard, combined with the human socioeconomic system as exposure and human living environment, constitute the regional carbon emission environmental risk system. The “risks” of missing (or achieving) the carbon neutrality target for any region at any time, the article argues, is essentially determined by the ratio of CE to carbon absorption (CA, for uptake and removal). These variables are modified by a broadly defined “vulnerability coefficient” (Cv) that embodies both the potential for changes (decreasing CE and increasing CA), and the uncertainties of measuring CE and CA. Thus, the ratio of CE to CA is a measure of reality at any moment of time, whereas Cv indicates the overall propensity or capacity for moving the CE/CA ratio towards 1, that is, realizing carbon neutrality. Based on our calculation, CER at the provincial level in eastern China is higher than in western China. The article also calls for strengthening CER research and summarizes key measures for carbon emission risk governance. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 2709 | Scars of Youth Non-employment and Labour Market Conditions In this paper I analyse whether non-employment periods at the initial stage of the work career may increase the propensity to experience non-employment in subsequent years too, using data on young individuals in Italy. The role of labour market conditions in moderating these scarring effects is investigated, exploiting the regional differences across the country. The results provide evidence of negative effects induced by early non-employment. Moreover, the negative repercussions of early non-employment are smaller (higher) in regions with higher (lower) unemployment rates. This evidence can be interpreted using the signaling theory. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 2710 | Examining the impact of mindsets on donation intentions to homelessness charities via parallel serial mediation This research investigates the impact of peoples’ chronic personality mindsets on charitable giving behaviors (donation intentions) and the process by which it occurs. We expand upon the literature by examining the relationship between mindsets and charitable giving for a social cause (homelessness), the controllability of which may be ambiguous to potential donors. In addition, we show how mindsets influence donation intentions via multiple mediation pathways, which consist of a combination of cognitive and affective mediators. Across two studies that surveyed 791 individuals age 24 + living in the U.S.A. via online questionnaires, we find that a more fixed (vs. growth) personality mindset is significantly associated with lower donation intentions to homelessness charities. A parallel serial mediation model reveals this relationship is mediated by perceived controllability and perceived donation efficacy on one pathway, and attribution and both positive (sympathy) and negative (blame) affect on the other pathways. The results have practical implications for nonprofits and raise awareness of the need to understand the mindsets of potential donors as they devise marketing strategies, programs, and messages. The findings also suggest that nonprofits should consider donors’ perceived controllability of the cause, perceived donation efficacy, and emotions felt towards those in need. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 2712 | Goal Setting with Latinx Families of Children with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: Case Studies Behavioral community psychology focuses on studying issues that matter to communities, unpacking contextual factors that impact people’s behaviors, and identifying strategies to address such issues. Goal setting is one such strategy often used by behavioral psychologists. Grounded in the values of behavioral community psychology and a behavior analysis paradigm, this study illustrated two case studies of Latinx parents of children with disabilities where goal-setting strategies were implemented to promote behavior change. The first case study focused on the promotion of healthy lifestyle behaviors and routines among Latinx families of children with disabilities in the United States. The second case study examined goal setting related to youth development by parents of adolescents with disabilities in Colombia. In both cases, participants received training on goal setting and had opportunities to discuss progress toward achieving their goals, share action steps taken, and discuss the contextual challenges or barriers that they experienced. The results indicate that behavioral goal-setting procedures can be effective in helping parents attain their goals and brainstorm strategies for addressing behavioral and contextual challenges. Implications for future research advancing behavioral community psychology are discussed. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 2713 | Energieversorgungsrisiken, Energiepreiskrise und Klimaschutz erfordern gemeinsame Antworten In the past two years, the world has changed and global crises (e. g. the COVID-19 pandemic, war in Ukraine) increasingly dominate the headline. Decades of certainties no longer apply, risks and uncertainties are increasing, challenges are becoming more complex and at the same time require faster and more consistent action. Against that background, the text discusses what we can — and must — learn from the current crises. We must learn that we need to be more sensitive to potential risks and take precautions where necessary and possible, even if this requires pre-emptive financial and structural actions. The text focuses onis the current situation in which we have to find integrative answers reflecting the severe energy supply risks (associated with the energy import dependency from Russia) and the rising and volatile energy prices on the one hand and the climate protection challenge on the other. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 2716 | Coronapandemie: Auswirkungen auf den Einzelhandel in den Innenstädten The coronavirus pandemic affects all sectors of the economy. The sector hardest hit by closures, restrictions and a changing consumer behavior is the inner-city retail. In fact, the frequency of passers-by and, therefore, potential customers in selected cities declined dramatically. The statistical sales figures that also include online retail and food retailers do not adequately represent the negative effects. A closer look at inner-city retail areas reveals that despite increased use of e-commerce channels, sales are still below the pre-corona level. Also, some areas of inner-city retail benefit, while others have lost dramatically. Therefore, triggered business failures can negatively affect the attractiveness of downtown as a whole and correspondingly, the areas that have been able to master the crisis in inner cities will also lose customers and turnover. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 2719 | Eine explorative Untersuchung der Einflüsse von ABW-Büromerkmalen auf die Wahrnehmung der Organisationskultur This qualitative study sets out to explore how three office design features, that are typically found in activity-based working (ABW) environments, influence employees’ perception of organizational culture. Overall, little is known about how design features of new office concepts, such as ABW, reflect and reinforce an intended hierarchy-flat organisational culture. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight participants of different organisations who moved to an ABW environment with the intend to foster a hierarchy-flat clan-culture. The transcripts were subjected to thematic analysis with a semi-deductive approach. Results on how design features were perceived to influence organisational culture were categorised into functional and associative mechanisms. Majority of previously found functional and associative influences for each of the three design features were validated; influences on clan-culture indicators such as communication, collaboration, relationships, group cohesion, and collegial leadership style were demonstrated. Particularly sub-themes such as dynamic atmosphere, focused information flow, openness attitude and organisational identification were found or newly identified Transcending themes, which add to an in-depth evaluation of functional and associative influences include accessibility, serendipity, psychological distance and territoriality. Findings suggest that perceptions of office design features are associated with employees’ perceptions of the organizational culture and employee attitudes in complex ways; office design appears to be useful to support organisational culture and to reflect culture principles in spatial form. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 2720 | Vulnerability in the Context of Migration: a Critical Overview and a New Conceptual Model The notion of “vulnerability” occupies a central role in academic literature, policymaking, humanitarian debates, and everyday discourses on migration and asylum. Its popularity has led some academics and practitioners to use “vulnerability” as a self-explanatory condition or phenomenon. However, a common and systematic understanding of the concept is still missing, and the moral and political meaning often ascribed to this notion may have (un)intended detrimental consequences for those migrants deemed vulnerable. Thus, this paper sets out to critically unpack and highlight the complexities hidden behind this notion in order to provide a conceptual analysis of vulnerability in the context of migration. We do so by (1) providing an overview of definitions of vulnerability across different fields of research, (2) identifying common conceptualizations or types of vulnerability and discussing their implications, and (3) highlighting possible negative societal and psychological consequences of its implementation in the context of migration. Finally, we propose (4) a new conceptual model for understanding vulnerability in the context of migration, showing how this notion can become a useful analytical tool in migration research. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 2721 | „Homeoffice in Corona-Zeiten-Sind Ausmaß und/oder Flexibilität wichtig für Arbeitszufriedenheit, soziale Unterstützung, Commitment und Arbeitsunterbrechungen?" The debate on the advantages and disadvantages of teleworking (i.e., working from home) has gained momentum during the Covid-19 pandemic: Even public authorities have given their employees the opportunity to switch to teleworking. Many studies on teleworking have been carried out with employees who have been teleworking for years. However, it is unclear which consequences a sudden shift to teleworking has. This article examines to what extent the use of teleworking and the possibility of its flexible usage are associated with work-related variables such as job satisfaction, social support, affective commitment and work interruptions. A total of 477 employees of a medium sized public agency took part in the online survey. Our analyses show that more teleworking is associated with fewer work interruptions. We did not find any significant association between the extent of teleworking and job satisfaction, affective commitment and social support. However, there were positive relationships between the perceived flexibility of the place of work with all outcomes with the exception of work interruptions. The findings provide evidence of the importance of the flexible use of teleworking and thus the perceived opportunity to decide for oneself whether to work from home. This implies that organizations—including public agencies—need employee-oriented flexibility, that is, they should give employees the greatest possible decision latitude on the individual use of flexible work options. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 2722 | Der (Un)Sinn von Purpose: Theoriebasierte Ansätze zur Gestaltung von sinnhaftem Handeln in Unternehmen This contribution to the journal “Group. Interaction.

Current approaches aiming at shaping the collective meaningfulness and aligning employee actions with the company’s purpose miss three crucial points: Orientation (Meaning of purpose), clarity (How to shape purpose?), and evidence (Why address purpose in organizations?). In short: The What, How and Why of purpose. This contribution fills these three gaps by providing a comprehensive review of literature. Purpose is defined (what) in a theory-driven way. The three levels at which purpose should be addressed (individual, team, and organization) are outlined. Relevant insights on these levels and advice for meaningful work design are provided (how). As current ongoing discussions barely contribute on the sense of purpose as such, the intention of this article is to shed light on why companies and managers should engage with this subject in a meaningful way (why). | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 2724 | Revisiting the value of a statistical life: an international approach during COVID-19 Although the employment of the value of a statistical life (VSL) is a cornerstone of USA governmental risk analysis, many argue that the VSL is flawed when evaluating proposed regulations. The VSL is only an estimate of the willingness to accept wage versus risk, which may be inaccurate for policies that mitigate large risks in pandemics, such as COVID-19. The VSL is revisited using a different approach and utilized in measuring the total value of loss from deaths caused by COVID-19 for 48 selected countries. The modified theory of the demand for health by Gary Becker is utilized to measure the VSL resulting from consumer optimization of utility, subject to constraints and investments in health made to change their survivorship at different ages. Estimates show that the VSL for an average American is around $7.2 million compared to the world VSL of about $1.3 million. Switzerland has the highest VSL of approximately $9.4 million. The total value of loss from deaths caused by COVID-19 is around 6.1% of the USA GDP, compared to the global loss of 1.2% of the world's GDP, while Belgium has the highest value of loss with 9.7% of its GDP. The best possible data and procedures are necessary to make robust and reliable public health decisions while responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. The VSL measure introduced here can be applied to a specific individual, group, or population. It is comprehensive, straightforward, generalizable, and provides a consistent measure with the most popular methods. More importantly, it provides an added value to the existing methods that enable us to break down the VSL into two main components, one that accounts for working time. The other accounts for leisure time and different diminishing consumption and discount rates. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 2725 | Potential security and privacy issues in zero UI touchless technology Touchless technology often called Zero User Interface (UI) has begun to permeate every aspect of our lives as its use became necessary for hygiene measures in public places. The evolution of touchless technology replacing touchscreen interaction started as a luxury concept to give a fancier look to digital interactions, but now it has gained real value as a health-oriented interaction method. Switching to a touchless interface reduces common touchpoints, which help to safeguard against the spread of pathogens. Although the evolution of touchless technology is not new, its use massively increased due to its inherent hygienic nature during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this investment in a new form of digital interaction has several privacy and security issues that need attention, in order to allow for safe human–machine interaction to cope with security breaches and cyber-attacks to protect our credentials. This paper outlines the potential security and privacy issues concerning Zero UI adoption in various technologies that need to be considered if one wishes to adopt responsible technology practices with this technology. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 2727 | Flood hazard management in a multiple hazard context: a systematic review of flood hazard management during the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa Result-oriented research can uncover hidden flood management obstacles and propose solutions that, if combined with political will, appropriate technology, and resources, can overcome the majority of Africa’s future flood calamities. In view of this, it is critical to examine researchers' findings on flood hazard management, particularly now that the continent is struggling with COVID-19 and other hazards. This study employed a systematic review approach to critically analyze 103 contextually detailed studies with a set of criteria that were not only meant to keep the focus on floods and the COVID-19 pandemic but also to understand the context of managing floods during COVID-19 and other hazards at the same time on the continent. I found that the authors strongly recommend how institutions should create non-structural enabling environments for managing combined hazards. Also, researchers paid little attention to recommending ecosystem-based measures for flood management during the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa. Future research should study how different countries in Africa are preparing to manage multiple future hazards, including the comparative assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of individual countries’ planning and preparation. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 2728 | Global Economic Impact in Stock and Commodity Markets during Covid-19 pandemic The outbreak of the novel coronavirus led everyone globally to face various setbacks. Such a sector that oversaw several shocks worldwide was the financial sector, namely the stock and the commodity markets. Both the markets had different and unprecedented reactions in the different corners of the world. This was due to several reasons like government intervention, welfare policies, investor behaviour etc. This paper discusses that topic in further detail, with examples and studies from all around the planet. The main objective is to expand the pre-existing knowledge on how different regions had different reactions to the pandemic and the policies that it brought along. The stock market, in general, faced an adverse shock that led to low investments and careful foreign investment. The commodity market saw the prices of all commodities on an upward trend except for gold which observed a downward trend. Moreover, this paper also discusses the future scope and the challenges that might be faced by the markets further down the line. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 2729 | The use of technology in postgraduate medical education within radiology: a scoping review Postgraduate radiology training has traditionally followed didactic approaches; however, complex reasoning skills and critical thinking are essential in the field of radiology. Therefore, the shortages of radiologists in Africa have necessitated the need to review the use of technology in postgraduate education to improve efficient training and service. This scoping review was conducted to map the evidence on the role of technology in postgraduate radiology education and practice. A systematic scoping review search strategy was undertaken to review material published between January 2005 and August 2020 on the use of technology in radiology education. Data from the included studies were extracted and analyzed for emerging themes and presented in response to the research question. Seven articles described studies from the African continent. The most popular technological intervention was telemedicine, and several niche areas of technology implementation were identified (blended learning, flipped learning, digital teaching files). Furthermore, the most challenging aspects relating to technology use remain fiscal and credentialing constraints. Technology plays a role in postgraduate radiology education through networks, synchronous and asynchronous applications. It has the potential to increase support to doctoral students in the African context and alleviate some stressors associated with traditional, face-to-face didactic programs. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 2731 | Patient and clinician perspectives of ophthalmology emergency attendances during the COVID-19 pandemic INTRODUCTION: To explore patient and clinician perspectives on acute ophthalmology presentations during the COVID pandemic. To ascertain whether the pandemic had differentially impacted access to care based on patient demographics and postcodes. METHODS: A single-centre, cross-sectional prospective study in a busy metropolitan eye casualty between April–June 2020 recording patient demographics, distance travelled to access healthcare, diagnosis and outcome compared to the equivalent period in 2019. A further two-part survey was conducted to explore patient and clinician's perceptions around delays in attendances, views on remote consultation and severity of the condition. RESULTS: There was a 68% decrease in April 2020 compared to previous year's ED attendance. The diagnosis tended towards more visually significant pathology. From 2019 to 2020, there was a significant decrease in average distance travelled to the eye emergency department (eye ED). working-age adults (18-59) and white patients travelling from very far pre-pandemic contributed most to this change. 513 Patient responses (12%) out of 4433 attendances during the study period were received, 89% (456/513) of the completed surveys also had matching clinician surveys. 29% (149/513) patients felt COVID-19 stopped them from attending earlier. Clinicians thought a video consultation would have been suitable for 40% (182/456) of patients compared to only 13% (58/456) of patients preferring a video consultation. DISCUSSION: Although our findings were limited by low response rates, COVID-19 may have caused a delay in presentation for emergency eye care. Demographic changes and attitudes towards video consultations have implications for planning of emergency eye care in future pandemics. | Int J Care Coord | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 2733 | Fit and Proper Requirements in the EU Banking Sector. A Step Further Prudential regulation has become increasingly important over time. In such a context, strict suitability requirements for members of the management body and key function holders are considered an adequate tool to safeguard the sound and prudent management of banks. In the years following the Great Financial Crisis in 2008–2009 and the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis in 2010–2012, the regulatory and supervisory approach to banks’ corporate governance has seen a significant evolution. The centralisation of banking supervision at the Eurozone level was complemented by the application of a single rulebook throughout the European Union which stated, in compliance with the Capital Requirements Directive, higher suitability requirements for being appointed as a member of a management body or as a key function holder at a bank. Furthermore, the choice to identify fit and proper requirements through standards attributes significant power to the decision maker, thus allowing greater public control over private choices, and is justified by the need to prevent negative externalities. This approach is open to debate. Against the background of the pursuit of public interest, the lawmaker confers discretionary power on the supervisory authorities (the European Central Bank and the national competent authorities), and sets restrictions on the job market for board member candidates. This paper is a contribution enriching the ongoing discussion about the existing regulatory and policy regime, with a special focus on the specific functions performed by the management body members and particularly by the chairs of the management body’s special committees. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 2734 | Rationing in pediatric hospitalizations during COVID-19: A step back to move forward The latest Omicron variant of the novel coronavirus has itself created a novel situation—bringing attention to the topic of healthcare rationing among hospitalized pediatric patients. This may be the first time that many pediatricians, nurses, parents, and public health officials have been compelled to engage in uncomfortable discussions about the allocation of medical care/resources. Simply put, finite budgets, resources, and a dwindling healthcare workforce do not permit all patients to receive unlimited medical care. Triage and bedside rationing decisions are happening in a range of difficult everyday circumstances both implicitly and explicitly, but in ways not recognized by even the best ethically framed intentions. Clinicians and hospital administrators have largely been left on their own “to flatten the rationing curve” in hopes that resources never have to be explicitly rationed at their facility. Unfortunately, the downstream result is a misinformed and distrustful public (i.e. parents, guardians, and caregivers) filled with people who are already burdened with inflammatory pseudoscience narratives and deficits in health literacy. This paper aims to elevate a more thoughtful conversation about healthcare rationing by analyzing some existing ethical principles/framework developed for rationing decision making during previous emergency responses and drawing from the day-to-day clinical perspectives of a frontline pediatric acute care/hospitalist. | Clin Ethics | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

This article examines related challenges and opportunities, focusing on how philosophical and ethical implications are differentially manifest amid crisis. Anchored by a transformative perspective, our framework recognizes heightened vulnerabilities amid COVID-19; it seeks dexterous strategies for implementing qualitative strands that adapt well to a virtual context while remaining philosophically grounded and ethical. Our findings highlight issues of unequal access, disembodiment, safety and vulnerability, researcher positionality, anonymity, and the delineation between private and public spaces; we also showcase an array of virtual qualitative methods.

| 2736 | Theorising post-truth in the COVID era The focus of this article is on the impacts of COVID-19 related manifestations of post-truth in educational settings in Australia. Within this context, there has been a reorientation of how wellbeing and academic achievement within schools reflect on broader trends within the general public, at local, state and national scales. Individual and communal experiences of adversity have been significantly impacted by phenomena associated with post-truth, particularly misinformation, a climate of anti-intellectualism, as well as fragmented socio-cultural cohesion. In the first section I explore these trends by providing an overview of how post-truth has been construed in Australian contexts, before moving to consider how engagements with post-truth have been shaped by the pandemic. Second, I analyse the close link between educational concerns that emerged from the pandemic era, and the circumstances that have supported the emergence of post-truth. Particular attention will be paid to debates over ‘learning loss’ and the place of teachers within Australian communities as a fulcrum for generating cultural capital and social cohesion. In the final section I consider what lessons these experiences have for education, as a way of cultivating learning communities that are oriented towards generating critical and digital literacy skills | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 2737 | China's energy transitions for carbon neutrality: challenges and opportunities The pledge of achieving carbon peak before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060 is a strategic decision that responds to the inherent needs of China’s sustainable and high-quality development, and is an important driving force for promoting China’s ecological civilization constructions. As the consumption of fossil fuel energy is responsible for more than 90% of China’s greenhouse gases emissions, policies focusing on energy transition are vital for China accomplishing the goal of carbon neutrality. Considering the fact that China’s energy structure is dominated by fossil fuels, especially coal, it is urgent to accelerate the low-carbon transition of the energy system in a relatively short time, and dramatically increase the proportion of clean energy in the future energy supply. Although China has made notable progress in the clean energy transition in the past, its path to carbon neutrality still faces many significant challenges. During the process of energy transformation, advanced technologies and greater investment will play essential parts in this extensive and profound systemic reform for China’s economy and society. In the meantime, these changes will create immense economic opportunities and geopolitical advantages. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

To remove the huge amount of CO(2), a practically feasible way of direct carbon mitigation, instead of capturing that from dilute tail gases, should be developed; as intended, we developed two innovative supporting technologies, of which the status, strengths, applications, and perspective are discussed in this paper. One is supercritical water gasification-based coal/biomass utilization technology, which orderly converts chemical energy of coal and low-grade heat into hydrogen energy, and can achieve poly-generation of steam, heat, hydrogen, power, pure CO(2), and minerals. The other one is the renewables-powered CO(2) reduction techniques, which uses CO(2) as the resource for carbon-based fuel production. When combining the above two technical loops, one can achieve a full resource utilization and zero CO(2) emission, making it a practically feasible way for China and global countries to achieve carbon neutrality while creating substantial domestic benefits of economic growth, competitiveness, well-beings, and new industries. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 2742 | Facilitating full and effective implementation of the Paris Agreement for carbon neutrality vision The Paris Agreement, a landmark in the multilateral process of global climate governance, not only demonstrates the greatest inclusiveness and feasibility based on science and principles, but also points out the general direction of the global green and low-carbon transition. The Agreement has set a global goal to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. To achieve this long-term objective, developed countries should take the lead in reducing emissions as soon as possible, which is fundamental to the achievement of net-zero global emissions at an early date. China’s goal of striving to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060 shows its great ambition, strength, and responsibility as a major country, indicating that China is committed to realizing carbon neutrality from carbon peaking in the shortest time in global history, and will make greater efforts and contributions to achieve the goals set out in the Paris Agreement. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 2748 | A comprehensive review of federated learning for COVID-19 detection The coronavirus of 2019 (COVID‐19) was declared a global pandemic by World Health Organization in March 2020. Effective testing is crucial to slow the spread of the pandemic. Artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques can help COVID‐19 detection using various clinical symptom data. While deep learning (DL) approach requiring centralized data is susceptible to a high risk of data privacy breaches, federated learning (FL) approach resting on decentralized data can preserve data privacy, a critical factor in the health domain. This paper reviews recent advances in applying DL and FL techniques for COVID‐19 detection with a focus on the latter. A model FL implementation use case in health systems with a COVID‐19 detection using chest X‐ray image data sets is studied. We have also reviewed applications of previously published FL experiments for COVID‐19 research to demonstrate the applicability of FL in tackling health research issues. Last, several challenges in FL implementation in the healthcare domain are discussed in terms of potential future work. | N/A | 2021 | | CORD-19 |
| 2749 | Long COVID to test limits of accommodations As the COVID‐19 pandemic unfolds, a growing number of individuals have developed persistent postinfection symptoms (https://bit.ly/3yvxL1S), commonly referred to as Long COVID, and those individuals have come to be known as Long Haulers. The Washington Post estimated 750,000 to 1.3 million individuals experience severe symptoms, including “months of chronic fatigue, shortness of breath, confusion and memory loss” (https://wapo.st/3scUCOK). Inevitably, Disability Services offices will encounter students affected by Long COVID. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 2750 | Effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on derivatives markets: Evidence from global futures and options exchanges We examine key developments in trade‐related activity on global derivatives markets during the Covid‐19 pandemic. We first document significant increases in volumes and open interest. Drawing upon techniques from network theory, we next find greater market interconnectedness and notable changes in market centrality. For US exchanges, we examine their response to the increased market uncertainty and find large and more frequent changes to margin requirements. We also find a considerable drop in trader participation driven mainly by noncommercial traders along with an increase in the percent of open interest held by commercial shorts and noncommercial longs. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
