Operational Aspects

The emergence of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease and its rapid spread around the world has serious impacts on people's lives in addition to its effects on many aspects, including the economic and educational sectors. Researches have proved that social distance is effective in combating COVID-19. Maintaining social distance is hard to be handled by humans especially in crowded areas such as airports and campuses. So, there is a need to apply a robust and proactive design to manage this process automatically and smartly. This paper presents a design system to fight COVID-19 by maintaining the social distance with effective monitoring for suspected cases. This has been done using cloud computing and a framework including Arduino (node microcontroller unit (NodeMCU)) with several sensors. The operational aspects of this design system using cloud computing have been discussed. Generally, NodeMCU has been involved in checking the conditions, comparison processing, and communication with the webserver. Moreover, the webserver has been used for determining the maximum number of persons allowed to enter. The results state that this design system is effective in combating COVID-19 through maintaining the social distance and collecting information about suspected cases. This system is valuable, dependable, and stable since the whole process is contactless.

Optical and mechanical tools were the first major “augmentation” of human senses. The microscope approached the worlds that were too small for the optical performance of the eye. The telescope touched the too far-off space; X-rays radiated the inaccessible interior of the body. Such augmentations were not innocent, as they demanded a different interpretation of the world, which would correspond to images of infinitely small, remote or hidden. Similar augmentation is now happening with cloud computing, machine vision and artificial intelligence. With these tools, it may be possible to compile and analyze billions of digital images created daily by people and machines. But who will analyze these images and for what purpose? Will they help us to better understand society and learn from past mistakes? Or have they already been hijacked by attention-merchants and political demagogues who are effectively spreading old ideologies with new communication technologies?

The Impact

The community of inmates children as a unique and unique social system is difficult to understand when viewed only from the outside, so it is necessary to systematically attempt to know the values, norms, relationships, and objectives-through where and with what they are living, and understand both their own experiences and the world in which they liveThe situational system of the inmates children as human beings (although in this case is the child) to be fostered, is one of the important elements in the whole process of assistance in the Penitentiary is no exception to the Children Penitentiary in Kutoarjo. The entire penitentiary system design, from the assistance program, the assistance mechanism, and the assistance implementation, is actually determined by the circumstances and the reality of the people who are to be fostered, the inmates.The reality of the children inmates who are always on the "social order" in their various communities is essentially constantly changing. Specifically, this study finds links between: the institutional reality of a children penitentiary, which includes the factual circumstances concerning facilities and infrastructure, and the administrative aspects of KutoarjoChildren Penitentiary. The reality of the member of KutoarjoChildren Penitentiaryin the form of identified number of occupants, placement systems, and formal and informal groupings of the targeted children in addition to the build and formed a community of the assisted children in KutoarjoChildren Penitentiary and the basic elements of the Social System of the Auxiliaries in all the community of assisted children and etc.As Soerjono Sukanto said that even though human "convicts" live in a confined state, they instinctively want to interact with fellow inmates. This instinct is referred to as "gregariousness" (Soekanto: 1998: 73), which in the last instance will give birth to so-called "social groups". In this context created social structure, social system, norms and so on.

Education In Brazil

In 2020, the world was plagued by a pandemic that demanded the social isolation of people from all over the planet to prevent the rapid spread and overcrowding of hospitals. In the educational field, face-to-face classes have been suspended in more than 150 countries. Some institutions started to use technological resources to offer remote education. The pandemic highlighted issues such as the unpreparedness of education systems and teachers, inequalities in access to the internet and students' computers, among others. Considering that technologies have been part of the daily life of schools for more than 30 years, in this atypical moment there is a strangeness among teachers in their improvised use with their students. This article aims to reflect what this pandemic situation has taught us about online education in Brazil and the perspectives that we can see in this field in the post-pandemic scenario.

The rapid spread of the coronavirus pandemic has caused anxiety around the world. During lockdown, the media became a point of reference for people seeking information. However, little is known on the relationships between anxiety resulting from persistent media exposure to coronavirus-related programs and the effects produced on working memory. In this work, a total of 101 Italian citizens (53.7% female) aged between 18 and 45 years old, who were from 14 provinces in Italy, participated in an online survey. Participants were presented with media exposure and anxiety questionnaires and they were instructed to carry out working memory tasks (visual and auditory n-back). The results showed that media exposure is related to anxiety. It was also found that high levels of anxiety have a negative influence on the performance of both visual and auditory working memory tasks in terms of increased reaction times of responses and decreased accuracy. The results were critically discussed in the light of the Social Compensation Hypothesis.

Lately, social distancing has become a trending term, more because of the COVID-19 pandemic that has affected the entire world causing more than 1 million deaths. The world we lived in a few months prior is completely different from what it is now.The lack of any antidotes and the absence of immunity, capable of fighting off the virus has made humans more undefended. Hence, Social Distancing is the only best option for us to protect ourselves from diseases, not limited to COVID-19, that may be transmitted through human contact. Social distancing is a technique that may be used to reduce the rate of new cases during a pandemic outbreak. This publication is focusing on surveillance of public places and detecting whether the people are maintaining social distancing or not. It explains the development of technology through the use of AI-based procedures to detect whether the social distancing norm is followed or not, in any public video stream. The software embedded can distinguish between a person maintaining social distance (marked green) and a person who is not (marked red) and will also keep a count of incidents where social distancing was not followed.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had an important effect on medical education. Universities around the world responded to the crisis by announcing the immediate closure and substituted the in-person sessions with online ones. Methods: Iran University of Medical Sciences designed a platform for medical students. To maintain the social distance, only onethird of students living in the dormitory were present at the dormitory in this condition. Some training courses were divided into two parts and each group was supposed to participate in given courses in-person for 15 days. The crash courses were trained on all days of the week. Then, the first group left the dormitories and was replaced with the second group, and they used dormitories for 15 days after being disinfected. Besides, for the best use of time, students who could not present in these 15-day training courses took part in virtual training programs. Results: It is depopulate the educational sessions at hospitals and classes in educational sectors. Besides, using the virtual classroom software given by the university, students can take part in virtual training programs. Conclusion: Using this platform, the number of trainees, as well as the gathering of students at dormitories, was reduced.

Around March of 2020, the deadly virus of COVID-19 had sprung its way to various areas of the globe. It was not too long after the rise of this coronavirus that the magnitude of COVID-19 had reached so far as to have it be recognized as a global pandemic. As a result of the virus's rapid spread, numerous education institutions across the world were met with the obligation to promptly shift to virtual learning. While virtual learning has allowed students to continue their education amidst a tense atmosphere, students had and continue to face various disruptions towards their learning process and track. With a barrier towards thorough communication, students have been unable to obtain the social and emotional needs they require which has and progresses in adversely affecting their educational needs.

We are currently experiencing a revolution associated with the rapid development and widespread introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. This process provides great opportunities and is associated with great risks. It has become an important factor in geoeconomics and geopolitics, an arena for superpower rivalry.Human being exists in rational, emotional and intuitive spaces. The last three centuries have been associated with the development of rational space. We know little about the emotional space and know almost nothing about the intuitive one. These areas of cognition of the world are associated with art, artistic and social creativity, with philosophy. In the 21st century, the role of these areas will grow. There is a transition now happening from the industrial phase of the civilization development to the post-industrial one, from the world of machines to the world of people. Therefore, attempts to reduce human activity to the rational solving of problems, to replace human in many areas with artificial intelligence, will be a step backward, into the past, and not forward, into the future.The response to the challenge associated with the AI development, with the rapid spread of computer technologies, should be given, first of all, in the cultural space, in the area of meanings and values. It is necessary to rethink the essence and limitations of people, the nature of the tools that they can create, and those that should be abandoned. This is about redefining the capabilities of human beings and their place in the world, as well as about fundamental changes in the organization of society. The article shows that the strategy of “irresponsible gods” and entrusting AI with the “last issues” can bring us to a global catastrophe. However, conscious using of the opening opportunities can help humanity reach a new, higher level. And the choice between these alternatives is now being made in the cultural space.

The corona virus is world’s pandemic disease originated in China 2019 thus called Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). It surprised the world with its rapid spread and had major impact on human life as well as on global market. The fundamental solution to control the rapid spread of disease is social distance and home quarantine, but no one can stay at leisure for longer time. Thus, we have to live with COVID-19 by preventing ourselves. Symptomatic patients were called to test for COVID-19 immediately and will be quarantined. But asymptomatic patients become strange for the society today. To overcome this issue some intelligent system test is essential. Collection of patients sample itself is a risky. Thus, in preliminary step, Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a vital role for detection of COVID-19. If the process of detection include an Artificial Intelligence it becomes easier for corona warriors to take necessary action on this pandemic and can able to detect disease at the earliest. Thus, in this article we have reviewed role of Artificial Intelligence in detection of COVID -19. The review resulted as there is urgent need of developing AI-based system for early detection, tracking and quantification of corona virus patients to save the world from this pandemic disease.
