Effective Degree

In the combat in opposition to the coronavirus, social distancing has tested to be an effective degree to bog down the unfold of the disease. The machine provided is for reading social distancing through calculating the space among humans for you to gradual down the unfold of the virus. This machine makes use of enter from video frames to parent out the space among people to relieve the impact of this pandemic. This is performed through comparing a video feed acquired through a surveillance camera. The video is calibrated into bird’s view and fed as an enter to the YOLOv3 version that is an already educated item detection version. The YOLOv3 version is educated using the Common Object in Context (COCO). The proposed machine turned into corroborated on a pre-filmed video. The outcomes and consequences acquired through the machine display that assessment of the space among more than one people and figuring out if policies are violated or not. If the space is less than the minimal threshold value, the people are represented through a purple bounding box, if not then it's far represented through a inexperienced bounding box. This machine may be similarly advanced to detect social distancing in real-time applications.

Human need is human desires to own and enjoy the usefulness of goods or services that can provide physical and spiritual satisfaction for survival. This study deals with the common social practice of debting at Kodingateng Island, Makassar. It examine the people’s perspective about debt, the debt mechanism, and the impact of debt in their social life. This study was carried out at Kodingareng Island, Makassar, an island where debting is a common social practice. There were 11 participants involved in this study, consisting of a female college student, seven fishermen's wives, and a stall seller (pagadde-gadde), a diver (paselang), and a fisherman (papekang). They are aged between 24 and 47 years. Data was collected using in-depth interview (to explore people's perspectives on debt, debting mechanism, and the impact of debting behavior towards their life; and observation (to observe indebted transactions, who owes, what is owed, billing and payment moments). The study shows that people at Kodingareng Island perceive debt (inrang) as a “habit” that has become a local tradition and debt as a “bond” between the lender (to appa'nginrang) and the borrower (to nginrang). The debt mechanism depends on debted needs, which are varied from primary needs, secondary needs, and tertiary needs; and on the importance of such need. The more important an item becomes, the more often the type of item is debted. The mechanism is simple, one just mention what s/he need and goods can be directly taken or delivered. Despite the fact there is a informal agreement between the lender and the borrower, in many cases the payment methods depends on the borrower. The impact of debt for the people of Kodingareng Island is categorized into three: people are trapped in an endless debt since debt is carried out continuously; generating generation debtors since they are accustomed to see and to practice debt; and affecting community social relations since payments are faltered, despite debting is not a shamefull behaviour.

SARS-CoV-19 is one of the deadliest pandemics the world has witnessed, taking around 5,049,374 lives till now across worldwide and 459,873 in India. To limit its spread numerous countries have issued many safety measures. Though vaccines are available now, still face mask detection and maintain social distance are the key aspects to prevent from this pandemic. Therefore, authors have proposed a real-time surveillance system that would take the input video feed and check whether the people detected in the video are wearing a mask, this research further monitors the humans for social distancing norms. The proposed methodology involves taking input from a CCTV feed and detecting humans in the frame, using YOLOv5. These detected faces are then processed using Stacked ResNet-50 for classification whether the person is wearing a mask or not, meanwhile, DBSCAN has been used to detect proximities within the persons detected.

The education system has been affected by 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. In order to curb the widespread of coronavirus pandemic, people were recommended to exercise social-distancing and self-isolation. The idea of social-distancing and self-isolation has resulted in the closures of schools, universities and colleges as Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education try to control the spread of the contagious disease among learners in Zimbabwe. The effects and perceptions of Zimbabwean parents, teachers, learners and stakeholders on education and Covid19 are a cause for concern. The closure of educational institutions in response to the pandemic has risen to alarming levels. In this article, the issue of online learning has been seen as the impending solution to the challenges posed to the teaching and learning process during the coronavirus pandemic outbreak in Zimbabwe. What is very disturbing is that the mitigating measures proposed by stakeholders and government seem to favour the have and the have-not are severely impacted. At the end of the day, all the strides Zimbabwe has been making in terms of bringing education to the door step and improvement of standards of life is just going down the drain due to lack of ICT equipment and technical expertise. The study was carried out through qualitative method through a phenomenological approach. Snowballing, interviews, observations and document reviews were made use of in gathering the data for this article. Presentation is mainly descriptive since the type of data gathered depended much on the experiences and feelings of the people in the society about the impact of Covid19 on education. A number of recommendations were put forward that include the government putting in place laws that restrict mobile operators to hike their charges and all educational stakeholders should be heard when they air their concern.

AbstractThe world is waiting for a vaccine to mitigate the spread of SARS-CoV-2. However, once it becomes available, there will not be enough to vaccinate everybody at once. Therefore, vaccination and social distancing has to be coordinated. In this paper, we provide some insight on this topic using optimization-based control on an age-differentiated compartmental model. For real-life decision making we investigate the impact of the planning horizon on the optimal vaccination/social distancing strategy. We find that in order to reduce social distancing in the long run without overburdening the intensive care units it is essential to vaccinate the people with the highest contact rates first. However, for short-term planning it is optimal to focus on the high-risk group. Furthermore, large amounts of a vaccine with a lower success rate allows for more reduction of the social distancing than smaller amounts of a vaccine with higher success rate.

In India, travel and tourism industry is generous and vital. Among other industries, travel and tourism industry is one of the prominent and profitable industries in India. According to World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), among 185 countries, India ranked at third in case of travel and tourism industry by contributing a profitable amount to GDP in 2018. But in present days, the sector is harshly affected by the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19). Because due to this pandemic of COVID-19, people are refrain from travel to different countries. Due to COVID-19, it is expecting that about 38 million of people in India loss their jobs in tourism industry specially impact of this pandemic would be felt on both blue and white collar jobs and globally over 50 million jobs are at risk which indicates a 12 to 14 percent reduction in jobs. The objectives of this research study are firstly to understand the importance of tourism sector for economic development, secondly to study the impact of COVID-19 on travel and tourism sector, thirdly to find out the hurdles for development of travel and tourism sector in India and lastly to find out the suitable measures to rescue the tourism industry in current situation. The research paper is mostly descriptive in nature entirely based on secondary data. Data and information relating to the present study have been collected from some reliable data sources. In conclusion part, it is found out that this sector is mostly induced by the psychology of the people. Therefore, after this crisis, it is very challenging task to the companies of tourism sector have to regrain the trust of people. If we analyse the present situation then we can predict that the tourism sector will recover partially in 2021and it take a long time to go back to the previous situation completely and for this the Government should take some effective and reliable measures and the common people should response their initiatives properly.

The Impact

The article is devoted to the politics of war as described by Leo Tolstoy in War and Peace. Tolstoy overturns Carl Clausewitz’ interpretation of war as a “continuation of politics,” paradoxically generalizing and radicalizing one of his theses: the provisions on the “superiority of a defensive strategy” over an offensive strategy. As Tolstoy understands it, defensive strategy is transformed into a negative one that questions the understanding of power and its origin (arche), both in terms of attitude toward the commanding authority and in terms of the impact of individual will on the course of history. Through reflection on the significance of partisan warfare as a privileged form of people’s warfare, this leads to a negative rethinking of the idea of how the “people” and “army” are conjoined. In the final analysis, the “people,” acting as a fundamental historical force that manifests itself in a war for liberation or a struggle for the common good loses its metaphysical characteristics as a subject. However, its communal essence and the truth about politics beyond politics, or at its extreme boundaries where institutional ties disappear, comes to the surface symbolically in the providential meeting between Pierre Bezukhov and Platon Karataev. But this fragile experience forms and symbolizes the vital element that establishes the community of the people apart from any private interests and institutions.

ABSTRACTBackgroundAcross the U.S., various social distancing measures were implemented to control COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is uncertainty in the effectiveness of such measures for specific regions with varying population demographics and different levels of adherence to social distancing. The objective of this paper is to determine the impact of social distancing measures in unique regions.MethodsWe developed COVid-19 Agent-based simulation Model (COVAM), an agent-based simulation model (ABM) that represents the social network and interactions among the people in a region considering population demographics, limited testing availability, imported infections from outside of the region, asymptomatic disease transmission, and adherence to social distancing measures. We adopted COVAM to represent COVID-19-associated events in Dane County, Wisconsin, Milwaukee metropolitan area, and New York City (NYC). We used COVAM to evaluate the impact of three different aspects of social distancing: 1) Adherence to social distancing measures; 2) timing of implementing social distancing; and 3) timing of easing social distancing.ResultsWe found that the timing of social distancing and adherence level had a major effect on COVID-19 occurrence. For example, in NYC, implementing social distancing measures on March 5, 2020 instead of March 12, 2020 would have reduced the total number of confirmed cases from 191,984 to 43,968 as of May 30, whereas a 1-week delay in implementing such measures could have increased the number of confirmed cases to 1,299,420. Easing social distancing measures on June 1, 2020 instead of June 15, 2020 in NYC would increase the total number of confirmed cases from 275,587 to 379,858 as of July 31.ConclusionThe timing of implementing social distancing measures, adherence to the measures, and timing of their easing have major effects on the number of COVID-19 cases.Primary Funding SourceNational Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Institute

The Impact

Background: Ethical issues have been raised about using the psychological autopsy approach in the study of suicide. The impact on informants of control cases who participated in case-control psychological autopsy studies has not been investigated. Aims: (1) To investigate whether informants of suicide cases recruited by two approaches (coroners’ court and public mortuaries) respond differently to the initial contact by the research team. (2) To explore the reactions, reasons for participation, and comments of both the informants of suicide and control cases to psychological autopsy interviews. (3) To investigate the impact of the interviews on informants of suicide cases about a month after the interviews. Methods: A self-report questionnaire was used for the informants of both suicide and control cases. Telephone follow-up interviews were conducted with the informants of suicide cases. Results: The majority of the informants of suicide cases, regardless of the initial route of contact, as well as the control cases were positive about being approached to take part in the study. A minority of informants of suicide and control cases found the experience of talking about their family member to be more upsetting than expected. The telephone follow-up interviews showed that none of the informants of suicide cases reported being distressed by the psychological autopsy interviews. Limitations: The acceptance rate for our original psychological autopsy study was modest. Conclusions: The findings of this study are useful for future participants and researchers in measuring the potential benefits and risks of participating in similar sensitive research. Psychological autopsy interviews may be utilized as an active engagement approach to reach out to the people bereaved by suicide, especially in places where the postvention work is underdeveloped.
