| 3701 | Immunosuppressive Drugs Immunosuppressant is a class of medicines that inhibit or decrease the intensity of the immune response in the body. Most of these medications are used to allow the body less likely to resist a transplanted organ. In solid organ transplantation, immunosuppressive agents are needed for the activation of early-stage immunosuppression, the management of late-stage immunosuppression or for the maintenance of organ rejection. The emergence of novel agents and improvements in immunosuppression regimens after transplantation are significant factors leading to this progress. However, these drugs also increase the risk of infection, cancers and specific adverse side effects specific to each agent in patients particularly in pregnant women and fertility issues. Corona virus disease being hot topic of debate is has given positive outcome to immunosuppressive drugs however need more attention in future. Transplant centers across the world utilize multiple immunosuppression protocols; nevertheless, each patient can require an individually formulated immunosuppression regimen to manage the advantages and possible damage of treatment thus eliminating the likelihood of their primary disease recurrence. | Encyclopedia of Infection and | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 3702 | Analyzing the Structure of the Non-examples in the Instructional Example Space for Function in Abstract Algebra The concept of function is critical in mathematics in general and abstract algebra in particular. We observe, however, that much of the research on functions in abstract algebra (1) reports widespread student difficulties, and (2) focuses on specific types of functions, including binary operation, homomorphism, and isomorphism. Direct, detailed examinations of the function concept itself–and such fundamental properties as well-definedness and everywhere-definedness–are scarce. To this end, in this paper we examine non-examples of function in abstract algebra by conducting a textbook analysis and semi-structured interviews with abstract algebra instructors. In doing so, we propose four key categories based upon the definitive function properties of well-definedness and everywhere-definedness. These categories identify specific characteristics of the kinds of non-examples of function that abstract algebra instruction should emphasize, enabling us to hypothesize how students might be able to develop a robust view of function and explain in greater detail the nature of the reported difficulties that students experience. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 3709 | General solution model and its new progress The physicochemical properties of multicomponent systems are involved in all fields of chemistry and have received attention from various related areas such as minerals, metallurgy, material science, environment, biology, and agriculture. At present, the relevant data can be obtained by using two major calculation methods, namely, the first principle method and the empirical method. Though the former has achieved recent great progress, it is still a long way to offer practical data; while the latter has not received progress for almost half a century. Therefore, a new method that is theoretically reasonable and accurate in practical application is necessary to obtain practical and precise physicochemical data for ternary and multicomponent systems. In this paper, a new theoretical model is suggested based on its corresponding binary ones. The feasibility of this theoretical model is discussed in terms of both theoretical analysis and practical performance.

| 3710 | Recycling of ironmaking and steelmaking slags in Japan and China The mass production of steel is inevitably accompanied by large quantities of slags. The treatment of ironmaking and steelmaking slags is a great challenge in the sustainable development of the steel industry. Japan and China are two major steel producing countries that have placed a large emphasis on developing new technologies to decrease slag emission or promote slag valorization. Slags are almost completely reused or recycled in Japan. However, due to stagnant infrastructural investments, future applications of slags in conventional sectors are expected to be difficult. Exploring new functions or applications of slags has become a research priority in Japan. For example, the utilization of steelmaking slags in offshore seabeds to create marine forests is under development. China is the top steel producer in the world. The utilization ratios of ironmaking and steelmaking slags have risen steadily in recent years, driven largely by technological advances. For example, hot stage processing of slags for materials as well as heat recovery techniques has been widely applied in steel plants with good results. However, increasing the utilization ratio of basic oxygen furnace slags remains a major challenge. Technological innovations in slag recycling are crucial for the steel industries in Japan and China. Here, the current status and developing trends of utilization technologies of slags in both countries are reviewed. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 3711 | Does corporate social responsibility impact equity risk? International evidence Based on a large panel of listed firms from 52 countries in the period 2002–2020, we investigate the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and equity risk. We confirm previous evidence that higher CSR scores are related to lower risk measures, considering all types of risks: total, systematic, and idiosyncratic. Analyzing a large international sample allows us to investigate the role of country and company characteristics in the relationship between CSR scores and risk measures. The risk-reducing effect is more pronounced in weaker institutional environments. It is stronger in civil-law countries, in countries with low security regulation or disclosure requirement levels and where financial information is less widespread. Firms in high impact or high profile industries benefit more from CSR than firms in other industries as do firms that are not cross-listed. The financial crisis has increased the risk-reducing effect of CSR. The main results are confirmed in the COVID-19 period. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 3713 | Outcomes of a COVID Mobility Team The detrimental effects of immobility are well documented in the literature, yet immobility still plagues the hospitalized adult. As the influx of COVID-19 patients began, patient mobility was further compromised. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to assess the impact of COVID mobility teams, composed of deployed coworkers, on COVID-19–positive and person under investigation patient outcomes. Using mobility teams improved mobility in COVID-positive and person under investigation patients. Increasing patient mobility results in improved patient outcomes by preventing hospital-acquired functional decline, preventing intensive care unit transfers, and decreasing length of stay. | Clin Nurse Spec | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 3714 | Self-proning in Nonintubated Patients with COVID-19 The purpose of this article is to share observations one clinical nurse specialist noted after applying the concept of proning to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome in nonintubated patients with a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT/PROBLEM: Respiratory distress was a main symptom of many patients. However, hospitals were unable to meet the demand for automatic proning beds at the beginning of the pandemic, and no literature on prone positioning for nonintubated patients was published. One clinical nurse specialist identified self-proning as a means to improve respiratory distress, subsequently disseminating education and applying the practice with nonintubated patients with respiratory distress in the emergency department and throughout the COVID units in 1 hospital. OUTCOME: Improved oxygenation saturation was observed by bedside staff after self-proning was implemented. Patients verbalized breathing easier while in the prone position. Patients were reminded to self-prone if their oxygenation saturations decreased. Self-proning afforded some patients enough stamina to call their loved ones before requiring intubation. CONCLUSION: Through this observational experience, it was apparent that this low-risk intervention of nonintubated self-prone positioning improved oxygenation in patients with respiratory distress with a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19. | Clin Nurse Spec | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 3715 | Dynamics of SEIR model: A case study of COVID-19 in Italy COVID-19 takes a gigantic form worldwide in a short time from December, 2019. For this reason, World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 as a pandemic outbreak. In the early days when this outbreak began, the coronavirus spread rapidly in the community due to a lack of knowledge about the virus and the unavailability of medical facilities. Therefore it becomes a significant challenge to control the influence of the disease outbreak. In this situation, mathematical models are an important tool to employ an effective strategy in order to fight against this pandemic. To study the disease dynamics and their influence among the people, we propose a deterministic mathematical model for the COVID-19 outbreak and validate the model with real data of Italy from 15th Feb 2020 to 14th July 2020. We establish the positivity and boundedness of solutions, local stability of equilibria to examine its epidemiological relevance. Sensitivity analysis has been performed to identify the highly influential parameters which have the most impact on basic reproduction number ( R 0 ) . We estimate the basic reproduction number ( R 0 ) from available data in Italy and also study effective reproduction numbers based on reported data per day from 15th Feb 2020 to 14th July 2020 in Italy. Finally, the disease control policy has been summarized in the conclusion section. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 3717 | Path dependence and stagnation in a classical growth model This paper embeds a technical progress function in a classical growth model and studies the effects of permanent changes in parameters and temporary shocks such as pandemics. Technical change is driven by dynamic economies of scale and responds to distributional forces: the wage share regulates labour-saving technical change and employment regulates its capital-using bias. The model features path dependence in the employment-population rate and the output-capital ratio. Population growth and distribution can respond to the employment rate. Interpreted through the model, secular stagnation under neoliberal capitalism has been driven by a combination of diminished investment and reduced worker bargaining power more than by slower technical change and population growth. A temporary unfavourable shock to the output-capital ratio will permanently reduce the employment rate. In the fully endogenous model, this will increase the profit share and reduce the rates of technical change, capital accumulation, and population growth. | Cambridge J Econ | 2021 | | CORD-19 |
| 3718 | A Bibliometric Analysis of Wicked Problems: From Single Discipline to Transdisciplinarity With the increase of social complexity and uncertainty, wicked problems have become the hot and difficult issues in the frontier research of public policy. The concept of wicked problems was proposed in the 1960s. Since then, it has gradually spread to many disciplines, such as environment, urban planning, public policy, etc. A comprehensive understanding of the research progress of the transdisciplinary method is an important way to understand wicked problems. This paper uses Citespace5.5, based on bibliometrics and visual analysis techniques, to analyze 800 academic publications related to wicked problems and visually display the transdisciplinarity knowledge map and information panorama of wicked problems. Through a multi-level descriptive analysis of key literature, research origin, research hotspots and trend of the research on wicked problems, this paper finds out the law of knowledge growth and internal evolution logic of the research on wicked problems, and concludes that the transdisciplinarity research of wicked problems is forming, which shows the rule from knowledge diffusion (single discipline) to knowledge coherence (transdisciplinarity). The discipline of public policy has the potential to change the knowledge constraints of a single discipline and may offer transdisciplinarity approaches to wicked problems. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 3719 | COVID-19: Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Brain Damage The most common clinical manifestation of COVID-19 is bilateral pneumonia, a diffuse, alveolar injury with severe microangiopathy. Systemic infection is accompanied by an increase in circulating chemokines and interleukins in the blood, which penetrate the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and enter the brain. Clinical materials indicate lesions of the brain and peripheral nervous system, as well as neurodegenerative and mental disorders. Due to violations of the cerebral endothelium system and changes in the balance of ACE2-coupled cytochemical processes, coagulopathy develops, leading to microthrombosis and vascular occlusion. The concept of SARS-CoV-2 “neurotropism” is discussed as a rationale for the penetration by the virus into the brain. Infection can occur as axonal transport through the bulbar zone and the olfactory area of the cerebral cortex. Even more common is the “hematogenous pathway” of viral transfection, which includes damage to the vascular endothelium and a violation of the protective role of the BBB. Another concept that explains the mechanism of brain damage relates to the phenomenon of neuroinflammation. Astrocytes and microglia are considered potential targets of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The dissonance of the biochemical processes of the axis ACE2/ACE and changes in the functions of angiotensin peptides leads to the activation of astroglia with the development of neurodestructive processes in COVID-19. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 3720 | Myasthenia gravis and COVID-19: A report from Iran Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is spreading rapidly and has affected millions of people worldwide. Comorbid diseases have complicated the course of infection and increased mortality. Myasthenia gravis (MG) affects the neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) and can compromise respiratory muscle action, leading to worse clinical outcomes in individuals infected with the COVID-19 theoretically. In this study, the aim is to assess the pattern of COVID-19 infection in patients with MG based on several factors. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study following 150 patients with MG over a six-month period. The patients were monitored for the development of signs and symptoms of the COVID-19 infection. Results: Comparison of the patients infected with COVID-19 with MG and those not infected was performed independently based on age, duration since MG diagnosis, status of thymectomy, and current clinical status of MG disease. Data analysis did not reveal increased susceptibility or increased severity of COVID-19 illness based the criteria assessed. Conclusion: COVID-19 related deaths and susceptibility were not related to age, thymectomy status, and disease duration in patients with MG. | Curr J Neurol | 2021 | | CORD-19 |
| 3721 | Prevalence of COVID-19 in patients with neuromyelitis optica in Isfahan, Iran and a review on recent reports and literature Background: Despite many studies, it is still unclear how patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) would respond to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We conducted a research on prevalence of COVID-19 in patients with NMOSD in Isfahan, Iran. We have also reviewed the recent publications on this issue. Methods: 149 patients with NMOSD who were under medications were monitored for confirmed cases of COVID-19. Prevalence of COVID-19 in addition to mean age, mean duration of disease, and mean age of onset of infected patients and uninfected patients were calculated via Microsoft Excel software. Results: The prevalence of COVID-19 in studied patients with NMOSD was 5.37%. Mean age, mean duration of disease, and mean age of onset of eight patients (male to female ratio: 1:3) diagnosed with COVID-19 were 33.62 ± 5.20 years, 6.87 ± 6.05 years, and 26.75 ± 6.94 years, respectively, while they were 39.97 ± 11.37 years, 7.50 ± 3.91 years, and 32.46 ± 11.29 years for uninfected patients with NMOSD (n = 141). No significant association was observed between the type of medications and prevalence of COVID-19 (P > 0.05). Conclusion: There is not a consensus in the literature on the prevalence of COVID-19 in patients with NMOSD and the effect of NMOSD medications on susceptibility to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The prevalence of COVID-19 in our sample was 5.37%. The impact of the kind of NMOSD medication on the prevalence of COVID-19 in patients with NMOSD was found to be insignificant. Moreover, the infected patients were relatively younger, and their disease started earlier in comparison to uninfected patients. | Curr J Neurol | 2021 | | CORD-19 |
| 3722 | Assessing Organizational Readiness to Change through a Framework Applied to Hospitals Understanding and managing hospital Organizational Readiness to Change is a key topic with strong practical implications on society worldwide. This study provides, through a scoping literature review, a framework aimed at creating a road map for hospital managers who are implementing strategic processes of change. Ideally, the framework should act as a check-list to proactively detect those items that are likely to impede successful change. 146 items were identified and clustered into 9 domains. Finally, although built for the hospital setting, similar research approaches could be highly effective also in other large, public organizations. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 3724 | COVID-19 and Australian school psychology: Qualitative perspectives for enhancing future practice The challenges and changes driven by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in the education sector have been linked to high rates of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic symptoms in school-aged populations. Despite this, it is also acknowledged that children and young people can be resilient and adaptable, with the right support in place. In schools, psychologists play an important role in supporting students’ learning, behavior, wellbeing, and mental health. The aim of this study is to investigate the practices of Australian school psychologists during COVID-19 related school closures, focusing on their experiences and challenges and how they adapted their practices. Twelve Australian school psychologists were interviewed and, after member checks were undertaken, interview transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis. Six interrelated themes were identified including: (a) heightened student psychological stress, (b) alternative delivery modes and associated challenges, (c) close collaboration with families, (d) participants personal challenges during COVID-19, (e) assessment during COVID-19, and (f) possible long-term practice changes post pandemic. The results of this study have implications for policies to support students in future pandemics or where physical school attendance is disrupted (e.g., natural disasters). | Sch Psychol Int | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 3725 | "It's Pure Chaos Every Day": COVID-19 and the work of Canadian federal institutional parole officers As the Canadian federal correctional system grappled with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, institutional parole officers, who play a central role in prisoners’ case management team, remained essential service providers. Working in uncertain circumstances, these correctional workers navigated new and rapidly changing protocols and risks, while attempting to continue to provide support to those on their caseloads. Based on semi-structured interviews with 96 institutional parole officers, conducted after Canada’s “first wave” of COVID-19 infections, we analyze three ways in which their work was impacted by the pandemic: shifting workloads, routines, and responsibilities; increased workloads due to decarceration (i.e., efforts to reduce the number of incarcerated individuals); and the navigation of new forms of risk and uncertainty. This study advances the understanding of stress and risk in probation and parole work and presents recommendations to ameliorate the occupational stresses experienced by correctional workers during and beyond COVID-19. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 3726 | Challenges Faced and Solutions Implemented in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic among North American College Campus Recreation Staff The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the operation and availability of campus recreation services at North American colleges and universities. This study examined the challenges faced and solutions implemented by campus recreation departments as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of campus recreation staff from across North America. Institution and staff characteristics along with challenges and solutions were collected from 174 campus recreation department staff via an online survey in November 2020. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analyses. As a result of the pandemic, campus recreation departments have experienced challenges regarding finances, staffing, student engagement, and health and safety. To address these challenges, departments have limited facility access and capacity, reduced spending, adjusted staffing levels and responsibilities, transitioned to virtual or modified in-person programming, leveraged intrauniversity collaborations, and implemented new health and safety protocols. Solutions have the potential to help institutions meet the needs of students during the pandemic and beyond. Virtual programming and reservation systems may be especially useful post-pandemic, and lessons learned regarding multi-faceted COVID-19 policy enforcement could help advance compliance with other policies, such as harassment. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 3727 | Reopening Collegiate Recreation During COVID-19: A Case Study of Plans and Policies The COVID-19 pandemic caused most collegiate recreation facilities and programs to shut down to slow the spread of the virus. Public health guidelines from the state/province, federal, and global level have inundated recreation professionals with messaging to inform reopening strategies. Rasmussen’s risk management framework served as a guide to explore the stakeholders, decisions, and environmental conditions influencing COVID-19 reopening plans and policies in collegiate recreation. A case study of four collegiate recreation departments was conducted, with document analysis employed to examine and interpret reopening plans. The findings highlight campus offices and leadership as major stakeholders in reopening guidelines; risk management decisions utilizing a phased reopening approach that emphasized screening, mask mandates, social distancing and touch points, equipment and floor plans, and cleaning; and communication as a critical environmental condition. Implications for collegiate recreation practitioners include strategies for decision making, dissemination of information, staff training, risk mitigation, and policy enforcement. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 3728 | Physical education student teachers' wellbeing during Covid-19: Resilience resources and challenges from school placement The coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic has given rise to significant global challenges across education, and specifically in the physical education teacher education (PETE) community. Students attending teacher education programmes during the Covid-19 pandemic have experienced an abrupt and unprecedented pedagogical transition from a face-to-face capacity to remote teaching, learning, and assessment environments. Crucially, student teachers’ school placement experiences faced increased challenges and practical implications from additional environmental and social changes. In the context of continued global and national challenges for initial teacher education (ITE) programmes, the present qualitative study, using a representative sample of 24 student physical education (PE) teachers from a PETE programme, investigates the perceived implications of the Covid-19 pandemic on student teachers’ practice and wellbeing during their final 2020/2021 academic year. Results indicate that student teachers maintain that exercise, connections with the university and school placement communities, alongside personal and professional organisation skills serve as resilience resources protecting their wellbeing. Conversely, student teachers express that school placement isolation, restricted PE delivery, increased workload, low teacher efficacy, and the responsibility to implement Covid-19 behaviour regulations presented as challenges that negatively affect their wellbeing. The paper concludes with practices that may further support PETE and ITE programmes and their student teachers to maintain a stable level of wellbeing throughout their careers. | Eur Phy Educ Rev | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 3729 | Private Sector Investment in Infrastructure in Sub-Saharan Africa Post-COVID-19: The Role of Law Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is the lowest income region of the world with a considerable number of low-income countries. The region is challenged by a massive infrastructure deficit. In recent years, the governments of the countries in the region have expressed the desire to bridge the huge gap in infrastructure assets through a partnership with the private sector using the public-private partnership model. However, the advent of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic which has resulted in unplanned public sector expenditure poses a new kind of hurdle to climb for states in the region. As such, there is a need for governments in SSA to create and sustain efficient opportunities for private sector investment in infrastructure procurement and maintenance. This article adopted the doctrinal legal research method as well as review of literature in the examination of the role of law in creating a healthy and sustainable business environment for private sector participation in infrastructure financing and operation in a post-COVID-19 era in the SSA region. The article recommends among others, the enactment of legislation to create an enabling environment for raising domestic capital for the purposes of private sector–led public infrastructure procurement as well as the implementation of strategies suited for developing economies to attain successful outcomes in private sector backed infrastructure procurement. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

To ensure and improve the education quality, this paper researches a new study tool in the form of a digital twin framework powered by the Unreal Engine. By implementing MQTT, an IoT communication protocol, the digital twin realizes synchronicity of cyber-physical bi-directional data flows. Representing the virtual Reference Construction Site, an online multiplayer application was developed as a use case to answer the research questions: (1) how to design the digital twin and structure in an extendable and accessible development framework for different users and (2) how to support education in construction with this digital twin. To validate the concept, a group of students were invited online to explore the application and provide user feedback. Results show positive effects of the digital twin on enhancing the quality of the online education in construction with its real-time interaction and data from on-site machinery and processes. The digital twin is planned to be transferred to research and construction projects. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |

| 3746 | Variation in Student Perceptions of Higher Education Course Quality and Difficulty as a Result of Widespread Implementation of Online Education During the COVID-19 Pandemic The onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic affected higher education in a myriad of ways. One of the most notable effects however was the rapid and sudden transition of nearly all courses at most institutions to an online environment. And while there are a growing number of courses offered online already, this transition to nearly 100% remote education presented numerous challenges for instructors and students of face-to-face and hybrid style courses. Since student perceptions are closely tied to recruitment and retention, it is important to know if there are differences in student perceptions present in the way different courses are taught. This study extends the work of other authors that have investigated student perceptions by looking specifically at how the COVID-19 pandemic may have changed student views of course difficulty and quality both overall and across discipline or institution categories. Course evaluations from 837 courses from 191 different schools archived on RateMyProfessors.com were used in a general linear model where a statistically significant overall decline of 6% in perceived course difficulty and 4% decline in perceived quality was detected. In addition to calculating this mean decrease, courses were also categorized on the basis of academic discipline (Business, Engineering and Mathematics, Humanities, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences), institution type (2-Year, 4-Year), and whether instructors had previous experience teaching online courses (No, Yes) to determine any variation in differences that may have appeared as a result of more nuanced details in course type or delivery. Most notably, declines in course difficulty were slightly more apparent with instructors that had no previous online teaching experience. No other discipline, institution type, or teaching experience interactions were detected with either difficulty or quality variation. These data suggest that there were very real changes in perceived quality and difficulty but that these changes were largely universal irrespective of discipline, institution type, or prior experience teaching online (with exception of course difficulty). | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 3747 | Perspectives d'élimination de la tuberculose: la stratégie OMS à l'épreuve de la pandémie de COVID-19 Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global public health problem according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In 2020, TB was the second leading cause of death from a single infectious agent, after COVID-19. The End TB strategy adopted by WHO in 2014 aims to achieve a 95% reduction in TB mortality and 90% reduction in incidence by 2035 compared to 2015 rates. After nearly 20 years of steady decline in TB incidence worldwide (2% on average), the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact in terms of reversing the global TB situation. Indeed, for the first time in more than a decade, there has been a net increase in TB deaths and a re-increase in the number of estimated new cases. However, the COVID-19 pandemic also provides a starting point for the adoption of new technological solutions, multisectoral collaboration, and resource sharing to strengthen overall health systems. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
| 3748 | In search of sustainable and inclusive mobility solutions for rural areas BACKGROUND: Despite emerging research on novel mobility solutions in urban areas, there have been few attempts to explore the relevance and sustainability of these solutions in rural contexts. Furthermore, existing research addressing rural mobility solutions typically focuses on a specific user group, such as local residents, second-home owners, or tourists. In this paper, we study the social inclusivity, economic viability, and environmental impacts of novel mobility solutions in rural contexts based on published scholarly literature. When doing so, we bring both permanent and temporary residents of rural areas under one research framework. METHODS: We used grey literature to identify and categorise novel mobility solutions, which have been applied in European rural areas and are suitable for travelling longer distances. By using six service flexibility variables, we reached four categories of novel mobility solutions: semi-flexible demand-responsive transport, flexible door-to-door demand-responsive transport, car-sharing, and ride-sharing. We analysed the social inclusivity, economic viability, and environmental impacts of those categories based on criteria and evidence identified from scholarly literature by including the perspectives of both permanent and temporary residents of rural areas. Conclusion: Integration of the needs of various user groups is essential when aiming to achieve the provision of environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable mobility solutions in rural areas. RESULTS: Our findings revealed that while single novel mobility solutions are seldom applicable for all rural travellers, strong spatial and temporal synergies exist when combining different solutions. The need for a connected and flexible set of mobility solutions sensitive to the temporal and spatial patterns of mobility needs is inevitable. Accessible and easily understandable information on routing, booking, and ticketing systems, as well as cooperation, shared values, and trust between various parties, are key success factors for sustainable rural mobility. CONCLUSION: Integration of the needs of various user groups is essential when aiming to achieve the provision of environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable mobility solutions in rural areas.

| 3749 | In-silico investigation of phenolic compounds from leaves of Phillyrea angustifolia L. as a potential inhibitor against the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro PDB ID:5R83) using a virtual screening method There is currently a global COVID-19 pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its variants. This highly contagious viral disease continues to pose a major health threat global. The discovery of vaccinations is not enough to prevent their spread and dire consequences. To take advantage of the current drugs and isolated compounds, and immediately qualifying approach is required. The aim of our research is evaluation the potency for natural antiviral compounds against the SARS CoV-2 Mpro. Molecular docking of four phenolic compounds from Phillyrea Angustifolia leaves with SARS-CoV-2 Mpro has been conducted. Similarly, the stability of selected ligand-protein interactions has been determined using MD simulations. Moreover, the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR), MMGBSA binding energies, pharmacokinetics, and drug-likeness predictions for selected phenolic have been reported. The selected phenolic compounds (Luteolin-7-O-glucoside, Apigenin-7-O-glucoside, Demethyl-oleuropein, and Oleuropein aglycone) revealed strong binding contacts in the two active pockets of a target protein of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro with the docking scores and highest binding energies with a binding energy of −8.2 kcal/mol; −7.8 kcal/mol; −7.2 kcal/mol and −7.0 kcal/mol respectively. Both Demethyloleoeuropein and Oleuropein aglycone can interact with residues His41 and Cys145 (catalytic dyad) and other amino acids of the binding pocket of Mpro. According to QSAR, studies on pharmacokinetics and drug-like properties suggested that oleuropein aglycone could be the best inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 for new drug design and development. Further in vivo, in vitro, and clinical studies are highly needed to examine the potential of these phenolic compounds in the fight against COVID-19. | N/A | 2022 | | CORD-19 |
