2751 | GAO points to populations at high risk of BH effects of COVID Americans have reported feeling more isolated and stressed, and many have experienced economic hardship as a result of COVID‐19, causing an increase in demand for behavioral health services, including those from mental health and substance use, according to a new Government Accountability Office (GAO) report. People most at risk of the effects of the pandemic include health care workers, children and adolescents, and people with preexisting behavioral health conditions, the GAO report stated. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
2752 | The onlinezation influence on knowledge sharing for corporate innovation during the CoViD crisis The article describes the study of the influence of shock onlinezation caused by the CoViD‐19 quarantine on the knowledge management performance and effectiveness in organizations. The methodology of the study is based on a set of multiple linear regression equations linking together the onlinezation, knowledge management parameters, problem‐solving and financial performance. The results of the study allow developing a set of practical recommendations regarding the development of knowledge management systems in organizations under the onlinezation context, with a special accent to solving technical and/or marketing uncertainty‐related problems with architectural or modular innovations. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
2753 | Project-based work in times of COVID-19: A dynamic framework for knowledge exchange Knowledge exchange is the key to help knowledge‐intensive firms (KIFs) innovate and communicate with their clients. However, during the COVID‐19 pandemic, many assumptions have been challenged, and as a consequence, this study aims to investigate the effect of the pandemic on knowledge exchange processes in KIFs and how firms responded to the pressing challenges that consequently emerged. This study illustrates how KIFs managed to navigate through the pandemic and exchanged knowledge with their clients in a new dynamic landscape despite the challenges that affected their client base and knowledge workers alike. Using multiple data sources, including 27 interviews, observation, informal conversations, and virtual guided tours, the article provides a three‐phase framework with the assistance of a simplified process lens. The framework phases (disharmony, normalisation, and harmony) illustrate how KIFs responded to the challenges, developed capabilities, and provided support. | N/A | 2021 | | CORD-19 |

2755 | Using workplace thriving theory to investigate first-year engineering students' abilities to thrive during the transition to online learning due to COVID-19 BACKGROUND: During the onset of the COVID‐19 crisis, universities rapidly pivoted to online formats and were often unable to adhere to the best practices of online learning highlighted in prior literature. It is well documented that a variety of barriers impeded “normal” educational practices. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the perceptions of first‐year engineering students enrolled in an introductory engineering design course during the rapid transition to online working environments. We view students' perceptions through the theoretical lens of workplace thriving theory, a framework that allowed us to capture aspects of education required for students to thrive in non‐optimum learning settings. DESIGN/METHOD: This research employed semi‐structured interview methods with 13 students enrolled in an introductory engineering design course that relies on project‐based team learning. We analyzed interview transcripts using thematic analysis through an abductive approach and made interpretations through workplace thriving theory. RESULTS: Results indicated that students' abilities to thrive are related to four intersecting themes that demonstrate how workplace thriving theory manifests in this unanticipated online setting. These themes demonstrate elements that must be optimized for students to thrive in settings such as this: relationships with others, building and sharing knowledge through interactions, perceptions of experiential learning, and individual behaviors. CONCLUSION: Our research, viewed through workplace thriving theory, highlights the mechanisms by which students tried to succeed in suboptimal environments. While not all our participants showed evidence of thriving, the factors required for thriving point to opportunities to harness these same factors in in‐person instruction environments. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

2760 | Knowledge management and COVID-19: Technology, people and processes In this paper, we analyse the impact of the Covid‐19 crisis in organizations from the point of view of knowledge management. Specifically, we address the question of technology, people and processes. We conclude, first, that KM should be put at the centre stage in 2021 because, above all, first and foremost, the Covid‐19 crisis is a crisis about knowledge, and that a massive knowledge failure has been at its core – namely, the absence of a vaccine and the cure for Covid‐19. We furthermore conclude that in organizations, there was a complete lack of “social knowledge” linked with “organizational behaviour” which led to an organizational crisis; quite crucially, we believe that the mentioned crisis was even fostered by the immense technology available, but continued because, despite all the value of people, there was not knowledge about processes; in fact, suddenly, the drastic change in setting caused previously competent people to become incompetent. All this leads to the third conclusion, namely, the solution of the crisis will be achieved using technology and making people competent again and teaching them the right processes. Finally, for the time being, Humanity is still searching for answers, and we believe that all the partial measures (such as use of masks, social distance, washing hands, home/remote working, etc.) will mean an advance and increase in organizational agility. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
2761 | Can advertising enhance consumers' desirable COVID-19 health behavioral intentions? The role of brand-pandemic fit This article explores the fit between the advertised brand and the pandemic as a potential influence on consumers' intentions to engage in socially responsible health behaviors (social distancing, mask wearing, and getting tested when exposed). In an advanced and emerging market setting we find that advertisements for brands that are perceived as high on brand‐pandemic fit enhance consumers' socially desirable COVID‐19 health behavioral intentions and changes in brand credibility is the mechanism that drives such intentions. Fit is especially beneficial on the intentions of consumers whose health beliefs reflect only low to moderate concern about COVID‐19. Consumers with low or moderate (vs. high) COVID‐19 health beliefs exhibit an increased susceptibility to the fit—desirable health behavioral intentions relationship. The results are also corroborated in an emerging market context. Together, the results establish links between brand‐pandemic fit of advertisements, brand credibility, health beliefs, and consumers' intentions to engage in socially desirable health behaviors. The results suggest that advertising can play a role in encouraging desirable health behaviors and can promote consumer welfare via ads of high fit products and services that provide benefits during the pandemic in both advanced and emerging markets. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

2763 | COVID-19 transmission flow through the stigmatization process in Bangladesh: A qualitative study INTRODUCTION: Coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) patients and survivors face stigma, discrimination, and negligence. The motives for and the different types and consequences of COVID‐19‐related stigmatization remain underexplored in Bangladesh. Therefore, this study examined how the COVID‐19 stigmatization process is interlinked with transmission flow. METHODS: Using a qualitative research design, we conducted 20 in‐depth interviews with infected and suspected caregivers and five key informant interviews with physicians, local media representatives, leaders, law enforcement officials, and local administrative officials in three divisional cities of Bangladesh. We performed thematic analysis to analyze the data. RESULTS: Participants expressed their experiences with multiple subthemes within three themes (stigma related to symptoms, stigma associated with isolation and quarantine, and stigma associated with health services). Participants reportedly faced stigma, for example, exclusion, hesitation to interact, avoidance, bullying, threat, and negligence caused by misinformation, rumors, and fear. Stigmatized individuals reportedly hid their symptoms and refrained from seeking healthcare services, contributing to COVID‐19 transmission flow. CONCLUSION: Revealed insights may contribute to effective prevention, control, and management of such an emerging pandemic. Further in‐depth exploration of such stigmatization process will enrich unexpected outbreaks management effectively. | N/A | 2021 | | CORD-19 |
2764 | Front Cover: Computational Insights into the Allosteric Effect and Dynamic Structural Features of the SARS-COV-2 Spike Protein (Chem. Eur. J. 6/2022) Although the prefusion conformation of the spike protein of SARS‐COV‐2 can be stabilized alone, a spontaneously and energy‐friendly centripetal movement of the receptor binding domain occurs when spike protein binds to ACE2. During the binding process, several residues, especially Phe329 and Phe515, play a significant role in the allosteric effect. As a result, two potential cleavage sites S1/S2 and S2′ are exposed on the surface. More information can be found in the Research Article by A. Zhang, J. Fu et al.

2766 | 新型コロナウイルス感染症(COVID-19)に伴う難治性大量下痢症の1例(A case of refractory massive diarrhea in a patient with COVID-19) The new coronavirus disease (COVID–19) causes gastrointestinal symptoms as well as respiratory symptoms. We report a case of massive refractory diarrhea from the perspective of gut microbiota. A 60–year–old man was transferred with dyspnea. He was diagnosed as having COVID–19 and was intubated on mechanical ventilation with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. He was administered anti–viral drug therapy and antibiotics. He suffered from diarrhea from day 12 and produced a maximum of about 6,384mL/day of watery diarrhea on day 21. He required massive transfusion and catecholamines for circulatory support. Adsorbents, pectin–containing oligomeric formulas and synbiotics were administered, which decreased the amounts of diarrhea. After day 30, the amount of diarrhea decreased to less than 1,000mL/day. Fecal metagenomic analysis showed the proportions of Enterococcus and Staphylococcus in the phylum Firmicutes were the most dominate at the genus level. The proportion of Bacteroidetes was less than 1%, and the gut microbiota had dramatically changed. Thereafter, his diarrhea decreased to occasional instances, and he was transferred to another ward on day 104. Therapy for intestinal complications might be important in treating COVID–19. Intestinal therapy such as adsorbents might be effective in patients with massive diarrhea. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

2768 | Teamwork facilitation and conflict resolution training in a HyFlex course during the COVID-19 pandemic BACKGROUND: We evaluated the effect of three teaching strategies to facilitate teamwork in a systems analysis and design course during the COVID‐19 pandemic: (1) offering a HyFlex version of the course, (2) facilitating scheduled online teamwork sessions for all students, and (3) providing conflict resolution training to help teams overcome collaboration challenges. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS: To identify the impact of these instructional strategies and answer four research questions, we measured (1) performance, dynamics, and cooperation strategies of teams and (2) students' perceptions of their own and team members' performance along with changes in their perceptions of their conflict management skills. DESIGN/METHOD: We used a simultaneous triangulation mixed‐methods design to obtain distinct but complementary qualitative and quantitative data. We compared data from two offerings of the course: Fall 2019 and Fall 2020 semesters. In the Fall 2019 semester, an in‐person active learning strategy was used, while in the Fall 2020 semester, the course followed a HyFlex delivery mode due to the COVID‐19 pandemic. RESULTS: Findings suggest that the use of cooperative learning pedagogy along with HyFlex accommodations for safety and social distancing requirements for the Fall 2020 semester provided students with a comparable learning experience to a traditional in‐person mode. CONCLUSIONS: Learning strategies, pedagogical supports, and teamwork training can enhance social interactions, and consequently, students' social presence in online learning. Conflict resolution training could be a valuable tool for improving teamwork skills and communication among team members. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

2770 | Which crisis strategies are (expectedly) effective among SMEs during COVID-19? We investigate COVID-19 as a disabling and an enabling mechanism for small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs), particularly how SMEs’ crisis strategies might help them through the crisis. SMEs can follow a retrenchment strategy, a persevering strategy, or an innovation strategy, and they can do so narrowly or broadly. Using a representative sample of Danish SMEs, we test how crisis strategies are associated with turnover expectations. We find distinct differences in how effective crisis strategies are linked to turnover expectations, depending on how the crisis affected the SMEs in the first place (i.e., the SMEs were crisis victims, crisis immunes, or crisis exploiters). | N/A | 2021 | | CORD-19 |
2771 | Recent and advanced nano-technological strategies for COVID-19 vaccine development The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019 has been one of the greatest challenges modern medicine and science has ever faced. It has affected millions of people around the world and altered human life and activities as we once knew. The high prevalence as well as an extended period of incubations which usually does not present with symptoms have played a formidable role in the transmission and infection of millions. A lot of research has been carried out on developing suitable treatment and effective preventive measures for the control of the pandemic. Preventive strategies which include social distancing, use of masks, washing of hands, and contact tracing have been effective in slowing the spread of the virus; however, the infectious nature of the SARS-COV-2 has made these strategies unable to eradicate its spread. In addition, the continuous increase in the number of cases and death, as well as the appearance of several variants of the virus, has necessitated the development of effective and safe vaccines in a bid to ensure that human activities can return to normalcy. Nanotechnology has been of great benefit in the design of vaccines as nano-sized materials have been known to aid the safe and effective delivery of antigens as well as serve as suitable adjuvants to potentiate responses to vaccines. There are only four vaccine candidates currently approved for use in humans while many other candidates are at various levels of development. This review seeks to provide updated information on the current nano-technological strategies employed in the development of COVID-19 vaccines. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
2772 | The manufacturing output effects of infrastructure development, liberalization and governance: evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa The study draws inference on the effects of infrastructure development, liberalization, and governance on manufacturing production (MVA) in Sub-Saharan Africa. In order to determine the longrun implications of these factors, and for purposes of retaining estimates efficiency and consistency in the presence of complex errors, we employed the Panel-Corrected-Standard-Error estimator on panel data spanning 2003–2018 for 30 SSA countries. The main result of this in-depth analysis shows that infrastructure development as well as governance are key to manufacturing production. While infrastructure development affects MVA positively in the longrun, an improvement in the financial openness facilitates this linkage but only between transport infrastructure on the one hand, and electricity infrastructure on the other, whereas the converse appears the case when trade liberalization is the moderating variable. Overall, regardless of the type of liberalization, manufacturing output is always higher with better institutional quality. Our findings hold after controlling to additional covariates and are robust to alternative estimation measures. Among the other important policy derivatives of our findings, we emphasize that efforts aimed at reversing Africa’s pervasive infrastructure deficit, in ways that enhance manufacturing share in GDP, must be carefully nuanced under the avoidance of the incautious liberalization policies. We render support to the regional efforts to improve infrastructure, substantially curb poor governance while vigorously promoting the rule of law, regulatory quality, government effectiveness, voice and accountability.

2773 | Perspective: Challenges in the Aerospace Marketplace and Growth Opportunities for Thermal Spray The market needs for increased engine efficiency and environmentally friendly solutions remain the key drivers for the aerospace industry. These efficiency gains will be achieved by meeting the challenges of higher engine operating temperatures, weight reduction, and novel surface solutions for increased component longevity. A critical question to address is if the thermal spray (TS) industry can continue to meet the challenges and demands seen by the airlines and the engine manufacturers. In addition to non-aerospace influences, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected the landscape of industry growth, not only directly on airlines but also on the associated supply chain. This article reviews this market, its suppliers, and identifies the challenges and opportunities for future growth. Primary focus is on technology and what will be required to bring about reliable, robust, and cost-effective TS solutions into the marketplace. Several issues affecting the global landscape of the aerospace industry are discussed including (1) sustainability, (2) technology, (3) cost of ownership, (4) evolving marketplace, (5) workforce and behavior, and (6) supply chain vitality. An important question to address is if the TS industry can accelerate development with its supply chain and have the ability to commercialize technology more efficiently. Despite the market setbacks from the pandemic and previous issues with the Boeing 737 MAX fleet, the aerospace industry is poised to make significant advancements. These will create new opportunities for thermal spray technology in materials, equipment, and processes. To deliver on them, the implementation of Industry 4.0 along with the investment in human resources is more critical than ever. Based on the findings, the authors project a bright long-term future for both the aerospace and thermal spray industries. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

2777 | The Belt and Road Initiative and international business policy: A kaleidoscopic perspective In this editorial, we take stock of the nature and scope of China’s global development strategy named the “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI), and how it influences international business (IB) policy. We build on the state of the current IB literature on the BRI and the findings of the Special Issue articles to suggest the need for complex integrative thinking on the initiative. We show that the BRI – like a kaleidoscope – elicits vastly different patterns of opportunities and challenges as we turn the perspective from policymakers in China, to governments in BRI host countries, and to officials in third countries. We illustrate how the application of integrative thinking to these perspectives allows for the identification when BRI projects generate tensions between countries and how this influences their IB policies. We further discuss under which circumstances BRI projects may benefit all sides and which IB policies can help promote these types of projects. We conclude with a discussion of future research directions. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
2778 | Origin of Magnetization in Silica-coated Fe3O4 Nanoparticles Revealed by Soft X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism ABSTRACT: Magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) nanoparticles (NPs) and SiO(2)-coated Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles have successfully been synthesized using co-precipitation and modified Stöber methods, respectively. The samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). XRD and FTIR data confirmed the structural configuration of a single-phase Fe(3)O(4) and the successful formation of SiO(2)-coated Fe(3)O(4) NPs. XRD also confirmed that we have succeeded to synthesize nano-meter size of Fe(3)O(4) NPs. HRTEM images showed the increasing thickness of SiO(2)-coated Fe(3)O(4) with the addition of the Tetraethyl Orthosilicate (TEOS). Room temperature VSM analysis showed the magnetic behaviour of Fe(3)O(4) and its variations that occurred after SiO(2) coating. The magnetic behaviour is further authenticated by XAS spectra analysis which cleared about the existence of SiO(2) shells that have transformed the crystal as well as the local structures of the magnetite NPs. We have performed XMCD measurements, which is a powerful element-specific technique to find out the origin of magnetization in SiO(2)-coated Fe(3)O(4) NPs, that verified a decrease in magnetization with increasing thickness of the SiO(2) coating.

2781 | Research Subject Perceptions Regarding Infection Control Procedures to Reduce COVID-19 Introduction The COVID pandemic has altered health care delivery, including clinical research, by introduction of measures to reduce COVID. How these measures affect clinical research participation is unclear. Objectives The purpose of this survey was to document research volunteer's attitudes toward COVID infection control procedures. Methods Our research program implemented the following: 1. Staff wore masks, disposable gowns, face shields and gloves when with subjects. 2. Subjects were asked if they tested positive or were experiencing COVID symptoms; upon entry their temperature was measured, and hand sanitizer used. 3. Disinfecting was expanded to all scanner room surfaces in contact with humans between each visit. 4. Only 1 subject was allowed in the research office at a time. Staff, when possible, remained > 6 feet away from other persons. As part of a study evaluating total body DXA, community dwelling volunteers completed a self-administered health care delivery preference survey from Dec 2020 to May 2021. A 5-point scale was used to capture responses to 10 questions (Table 1). Responses were tested using Chi Square with age and sex comparisons assessed by ANOVA. Results Eighty-two adults (41F/41M) mean (SD) age 50.9 (18.3) yrs (range 18-79) without sex difference participated. Participants strongly agreed (84%; p < 0.001) they were more comfortable seeing effort to prevent COVID-19; 72% agreed 1 subject, without a companion, should be seen, and 81% strongly agreed masks be required. Seeing staff clean visit space was important to 66%, more so among women (33%) than men (21% (p = 0.007)). Most subjects (83%) reported comfort having elective procedures and did not feel “unclean” or “diseased” (87%) by procedures. Some, 26%, preferred a non-hospital setting, 66% were neutral; those age 50+ (17%) preferred this more (p = 0.004) than younger subjects (5%). Finally, 91% preferred to have a brief test description before visit arrival. Conclusions In this university-based study, most subjects favored masking, cleaning and limiting personal contact for research visits. Notably, no information regarding vaccination status was exchanged and the study began just as vaccines became available and ended just after all US citizens over age 16 were eligible for vaccination. Thus, it is unknown if vaccination status might alter research participation perception. However, people do prefer that steps are taken to reduce infection in research settings. It seems likely that this would be the case in clinical care settings. | J Clin Densitom | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

2789 | Study of a Fuzzy Production Inventory Model with Deterioration Under Marxian Principle The basic concern of the Capitalistic approach of manufacturing industry is to minimize costs and to maximize profit. Through uncontrolled rate of exploitation, the manufacturer creates large quanta of social surplus. This ultimately results in the economic injustice and inequality among social economic classes. This current article makes an initiation to develop an economic production quantity model with deterioration under Marxian approach of socio-political economy. Here, two Marxian economic production quantity models are developed aiming at the minimization of exploitation rate and reduction of social surplus. The notion of marginal profit is considered here to reduce the social surplus (Net profit) incurred in the production plant itself. Fuzzy system has also been studied to get the variability of the exploitation in the model. Sensitivity analysis, graphical illustrations are made to validate the model. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

2791 | Policy concern about university students' online professionalism in the post-pandemic era in UK context The extensive and intensive online teaching and learning during the pandemic has provided good opportunities for academic staff and students to experiment with learning and teaching using synchronous communication technology and learning platforms. This experience is highly valuable for helping higher education institutions move learning and teaching practices forward after the pandemic. Indeed, many universities are considering adopting blended learning in the new era. However, it is worth noting that a number of emerging issues related to student behaviour also appeared during online learning, such as teaching to blank screens, students’ inappropriate use of social media icons, languages and their inappropriate outfits. It appears that these issues have not yet been investigated properly, and are not addressed by the existing codes of conduct, since these have been written mainly for face-to-face teaching. This study offers some important insights into students’ unprofessional online behaviour from tutors’ perspective, and also the experiences of academic tutors in managing such behaviour in formal online learning and teaching environments. It used semi-structured interviews to collect data, and analysed the narratives of 20 academic staff working in UK universities. The findings report and describe students’ unprofessional online behaviours witnessed by academic tutors in different academic disciplines. The findings also suggest that special attention needs to be paid to policymaking regarding online learning, in particular, in the area of students’ online professionalism. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
2792 | Media Framing of Women's Football During the COVID-19 Pandemic This article examines British media coverage of women’s association football during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, to identify how the media framed the women’s game and how these frames could shape the public perceptions of it. Through a database search of British-based news coverage of women’s football, 100 news articles were identified in the first 6 months after the start of the pandemic. A thematic analysis was conducted, and five dominant frames were detected in the context of COVID-19: 1) financial precariousness of women’s football; 2) the commercial prioritisation of men’s football; 3) practical consideration of the sport (e.g., alterations to national and international competitions); 4) debating the future of women’s football and 5) concern for players (e.g., welfare, uncertain working conditions). These frames depart from the past trivialisation and sexualisation of women’s sport, demonstrate the increased visibility of women’s football, and shift the narrative towards the elite stratum of the game. Most of this reporting was by women journalists, while men were shown to write less than women about women’s football. This research advocates continued diversification of the sports journalism workforce to dissolve the hegemonic masculine culture that still largely dominates the industry. | N/A | 2021 | | CORD-19 |
2793 | Topic and sentiment analysis of crisis communications about the COVID-19 pandemic in Twitter's tourism hashtags The purpose of this paper was to assess Twitter as a means of communication during tourism crises with the following objectives: (a) identify the topics that are discussed, (b) establish the text sentiment, and (c) determine the differences in gender regarding the topics under discussion and the text sentiment. The data were collected from Twitter between March and April 2020. Using big data software, this study extracted 123,868 tweets globally in different languages through the Twitter API of popular tourism hashtags. Two techniques were applied: word association and sentiment analysis. The results show that the communication made through Tweets has the characteristics of a crisis communication related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the tourism industry. The theoretical contribution of the research is that Twitter in social media is an effective means of communication during pandemic crises and contributes to reducing negative perceptions and adverse effects of the tourism crises in companies and destinations. The practical contribution of the research is that Twitter can be used as a means of communication helping the communication strategies of companies and organizations. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
2794 | Coping Orientation of Academic Community in the Time of COVID-19 Pandemic: A Pilot Multi-Country Survey Study In this paper, we have mapped the coping methods used to address the coronavirus pandemic by members of the academic community. We conducted an anonymous survey of a convenient sample of 674 faculty/staff members and students from September to December 2020. A modified version of the RCOPE scale was used for data collection. The results indicate that both religious and existential coping methods were used by respondents. The study also indicates that even though 71% of informants believed in God or another religious figure, 61% reported that they had tried to gain control of the situation directly without the help of God or another religious figure. The ranking of the coping strategies used indicates that the first five methods used by informants were all non-religious coping methods (i.e., secular existential coping methods): regarding life as a part of a greater whole, regarding nature as an important resource, listening to the sound of surrounding nature, being alone and contemplating, and walking/engaging in any activities outdoors giving a spiritual feeling. Our results contribute to the new area of research on academic community's coping with pandemic-related stress and challenges. | Illn Crises Loss | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
2795 | News, Threats and Trust: How COVID-19 News Shaped Political Trust and How Threat Perceptions Conditioned This Relationship This study explores shifts in political trust during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Switzerland, examining the role that media consumption and threat perceptions played in individuals’ trust in politics. We combine panel surveys taken before and during the first nation-wide lockdown with webtracking data of participants' online behaviour to paint a nuanced picture of media effects during the crisis. Our work has several findings. First, political trust, an attitude known for its stability, increased following lockdown. Second, consumption of mainstream news on COVID-19 directly hindered this increase, with those reading more news having lower over-time trust, while the relatively minor alternative news consumption had no direct effect on political trust. Third, threat perceptions a) to health and b) from the policy response to the pandemic, have strong and opposite effects on political trust, with threats to health increasing trust, and threats from the government policy response decreasing it. Lastly, these threat perceptions condition the effect of COVID-19 news consumption on political trust: perceptions of threat had the power to both exacerbate and mute the effect of media consumption on government trust during the pandemic. Notably, we show that the expected negative effect of alternative news on political trust only exists for those who did not think COVID-19 posed a threat to their health, while public service news consumption reduced the negative effect produced by government threat perceptions. The paper therefore advances our understanding of the nuanced nature of media effects, particularly as relates to alternative media, especially during moments of crisis. | Int J Press Polit | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
2796 | Lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic: Insights into effective training strategies for physical development in football Professional soccer players typically perform regular training sessions and match play for most of the yearly macrocycle with limited time focused on solely developing physical development. The COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 caused mass disruption to professional soccer but provided an opportunity for an alternative approach to training in attempt to develop professional soccer players physical fitness levels. In a non-randomised and non-controlled study, we aimed to assess the effectiveness of a 13-week remote based physical training programme on physical fitness levels in elite professional soccer players. Twenty professional soccer players undertook body composition assessments, a countermovement jump (CMJ) test, eccentric hamstring strength test and a submaximal 30–15 intermittent fitness test (IFT) pre- and post-remote based training programme. Body mass (79.3 ± 6.7 vs. 80.0 ± 7.3 kg), skinfold thickness (54.1 ± 14.8 vs. 56.7 ± 15.2 mm), maximum CMJ height (38.4 ± 3.4 vs. 40.9 ± 4.1 cm), eccentric hamstring strength (1035 ± 158 vs. 1009 ± 140 n) and percentage max heart rate reached in submaximal 30–15 IFT (81.3 ± 5.2 vs. 82.3 ± 7.3%) were maintained (all P > 0.05) from pre- to post training programme, respectively. Although team-based soccer specific training load was removed, and the training programmes prescribed had an increased physical focus, fitness levels were maintained. This suggests that alternative modes of training can potentially be used in instances where team-based soccer specific training load isn’t required or is unavailable, without negatively impacting physical development. | Int J Sports Sci Coach | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
2797 | COVID-19 and Adapting to the New Normal: Lessons Learned for Peacebuilding The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2; Covid-19) a pandemic on 11 March 2020. Unlike preceding highly contagious diseases that brought the threat of global instability this century, such as SARS-CoV, Zika virus (ZIKV), Swine flu (H1N1), and Avian flu (H5N1), Covid-19, governments across the world introduced strict measures and interruptions to daily life incomparable in living memory. Overnight, countries closed schools, higher education institutions, workplaces and shut down borders – this left people scrambling to adapt, including those implementing peacebuilding interventions. In this unprecedented situation, peacebuilding organisations have worked, responded, and adapted to the new normal. These new dynamics have created both challenges and opportunities for peacebuilding. This article documents the experiences of peacebuilders during the pandemic, making sense of changing conditions, challenges and opportunities they faced. It explores two key questions. How have peacebuilding organisations adapted during COVID-19? Has COVID-19 contributed to the move to local ownership of peacebuilding or localisation? It addresses these questions by engaging with peacebuilding organisations across different geographical regions through an online survey and key informant interviews. The main results focus on localisation, digital adaptation and funding strategy and administration challenges. | N/A | 2021 | | CORD-19 |

2799 | PARAFAC modeling of dandelion phenolic compound fluorescence relation to antioxidant properties The phenolic compounds in dandelion were extracted using different ethanol percentage solutions, identified with HPLC-MS, and their scavenging capabilities of DPPH, ABTS and OH radicals were determined. Then the excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy coupled with parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) was conveyed to analyze the relationship between phenolics, components scores of PARAFAC model and antioxidant capacities, based on linear regression method. The results showed that the relative content of chicoric acid, esculetin, caffeic acid, gallic acid monohydrate, eupatilin, caffeic acid-3-glucoside, corchorifatty acid F, and luteolin was higher than 0.5%, and the extraction solutions with 100% and 75% water had a better scavenging capacity of DPPH, ABTS and OH radicals. Two components PARAFAC model was identified with the comparatively higher sum of squares, core consistency values, and lower interactions numbers, and the established equations indicated the component scores had a linear regression relationship with antioxidant capacities of DPPH, and ABTS. The paper was proposed for the first time that the component scores of PARAFAC model might be treated as a useful indication for antioxidant capacity evaluation.
