The new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19 a severe acute respiratory syndrome, causes the global mortality and burden of the blockade. The COVID-19 disease, said to be of zoonotic origin, has quickly become the pandemic responsible for the current global health crisis. COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Over the past year, there has been a continued increase in the number of published articles on COVID-19, including reports of infected cases, deaths, disease severity, and disease susceptibility. The goal of many recently published articles is to draw the attention of physicians and pharmacists to the importance of natural products and nutraceuticals in the treatment of COVID-19. It is emphasized that, in the absence of specific drugs for COVID-19, there is an urgent need to find alternative approaches to strengthen the resilience of the general population and pave the way for the development of drugs that can be used to treat COVID-19 patients.

An enormous body of evidence on various aspects of the coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19 associated with the SARS-CoV-2 virus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2) has been accumulated over the past year. Meanwhile, investigated relationship between COVID-19 and rheumatic immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) and certain identified similarities were of paramount importance. It was shown that the incidence of COVID-19 in patients with rheumatic diseases does not significantly differ from that in general population. The risk of severe course and unfavorable COVID-19 outcomes in patients with rheumatic IMIDs is significantly associated with older age and comorbidities – as in general population, and is not aggravated by preceding use of the majority of antirheumatic drugs. Gaining better insights into pathogenesis of COVID-19 provided sound prerequisites for anti-rheumatic drugs repurposing and substantiated their use for treatment of COVID-19 infection. Under current COVID-19 pandemic circumstances, accelerated development and invention of various COVID-19 vaccines offers a great hope to curb the tide of pandemic. However, the efficacy, immunogenicity, and safety of these vaccines in patients with rheumatic IMIDs must be studied in controlled clinical trials. Generally speaking, there are still numerous blind spots in our knowledge of rheumatological aspects of such a versatile and polymorphous condition as COVID-19 infection.

AbstractSevere acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the most significant global health crisis of the 21st century. The aim of this study was to develop a model to estimate the effect of undocumented infections, seasonal infectivity, immunity, and non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), such as social distancing, on the transmission, morbidity, and mortality of SARS-CoV-2 in New York State (NYS). Simulations revealed dramatic infectivity driven by undocumented infections, and a peak basic reproductive number in NYS of 5.7. NPIs have been effective, and relaxation >50% will result in tens-of-thousands more deaths. Endemic infection is likely to occur in the absence of profound sustained immunity. As a result, until an effective vaccine or other effective pharmaceutical intervention is developed, it will be critical to not reduce NPIs >50% below current levels. This study establishes fundamental characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 transmission, which can help policymakers navigate combating this virus in the coming years.

The Future

In the context of the global health crisis, our research started four years ago on the question of how to reconcile the teaching of the plastic arts and their practice within the training of the future teacher of schools when there is less and less hours of face-to-face lessons is all the more a topical subject. Indeed, at the present time, university courses are conducted remotely. Our study thus raises the question of the quality and content of the distance course in order to bring about plastic practices among students, future teachers. The hourly decline of this teaching over the past few decades questions the legitimacy, the stakes and the place of the student’s plastic practice. Likewise, the changes and challenges of teaching methods, particularly the emergenceof hybrid training through the use of digital technology, question posture changes in the trainer.

Affecting millions, the rise of substance abuse, particularly opioids, has become a global health crisis, the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Despite extensive scientific advances in understanding the complex biopsychosocial components of this phenomenon, there is no relief in sight. Yet, research studies during the past twenty years reveal an important role for spirituality and religion in prevention and recovery. The primary purpose of this article is to explore this role, examine various theories that have emerged about the positive influence of spirituality, and consider how an effective approach to prevention and treatment might be realized.

Turbulent Times

This article analyzes Taiwan’s National Epidemic Prevention Team, a collective synergy between government and society in fighting COVID-19. We draw on a model of collaborative governance to dissect the collaboration between National Epidemic Prevention Team members; that is, central government, local governments, private enterprises and citizens. We argue that the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak, democratic deepening and continual diplomatic isolation despite the global health crisis contributed to Taiwan’s National Epidemic Prevention Team capacity and cohesiveness. Our analysis contributes to the heated discourse on democratic resilience in these turbulent times, suggesting that outbreak control can succeed only if there is an integrated system of interdepartmental, central–local, intersectoral and citizen–state collaboration. Overall, this article shows how liberal democracies can control and counteract COVID-19 without resorting to authoritarian methods of containment.

Through a comparative analysis of Spanish newspaper coverage of the 1918 flu and COVID-19 pandemics, this article explores the parallels between them, their roles in reflecting and facilitating public perceptions of infectious diseases, the national dialogues they incite, and the search for solutions in a global health crisis. I use qualitative analysis to interpret media themes of contagion as they shift from societal complacency to panic as disaster unfolds. In weaving together Philip Strong’s model for epidemic psychology and Jim A. Kuypers’s rhetorical approach to news framing, I analyze how newspapers communicate changing assumptions about epidemiologic risks during pandemics.

Living under severe confinement and global state of war imposed by the emergence and worldwide very rapid spreading of the viral epidemic of zoonotic origin—coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the world is yet again experiencing a weird period. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is the defining global health crisis of our time and the greatest challenge we have faced since World War II, stressing every one of the countries it touches; it is creating devastating social, economic and political crises that will leave deep scars and will undoubtedly change the way we live and interact with each other. The number of known disease-causing viruses have been increasing in the last few decades and this trend is likely to continue. Therefore, it is legitimate to think about the evolutionary effect of viruses and their influence on the processes of organisms.

COVID-19 has affected our educational sector adversely, which resulted in the closure of all academic institutions. This global health crisis demands social distancing as the way to keep the virus away and forced the academic institutions to adapt to this physical distancing from the students as well as colleagues. The faculty needs to be motivated in order to be innovative, interactive, and accessible. The pandemic has not only led to the disappearance of old teaching methods but also the adoption of the modular concept of e-learning. Through a review-based study, the authors discuss the diverse response by the academic institutions and assesses their resilience towards education and transition to online learning during challenging times. Through this study, the authors opined that significant opportunities are there which will help in learning from pedagogical developments of other academic institutions. This will help in strengthening the collective response to COVID 19.

Archaeologists often enjoy the role of giving the people what the people want, at least, so long as that is information about the past. But besides the ambition to enlighten people about the past, there are at least two alternative approaches concerning the way archaeology communicates with its publics in society. One considers archaeology a business and sees people as potential customers who need to be persuaded to buy the products of archaeology. Another approach advocates democratic participation of people in archaeology and wishes to accommodate people's own preferences regarding archaeological studies. The point of this article is not to choose between these different models of communication but to ensure that future debates about the relations between archaeology and society will be informed by a better understanding of some fundamentally different approaches concerning the aims and character of archaeology's communication with various public audiences. Hopefully this discussion will also benefit very specific, future projects in public archaeology and thus ultimately serve both the archaeologists and their publics.
