Temporal Spread

Recent analysis of area-level COVID-19 cases data attempts to grapple with a challenge familiar to geovisualization: how to capture the development of the virus, whilst supporting analysis across geographic areas? We present several glyphmap designs for addressing this challenge applied to local authority data in England whereby charts displaying multiple aspects related to the pandemic are given a geographic arrangement. These graphics are visually complex, with clutter, occlusion and salience bias an inevitable consequence. We develop a framework for describing and validating the graphics against data and design requirements. Together with an observational data analysis, this framework is used to evaluate our designs, relating them to particular data analysis needs based on the usefulness of the structure they expose. Our designs, documented in an accompanying code repository, attend to common difficulties in geovisualization design and could transfer to contexts outside of the UK and to phenomena beyond the pandemic.

In the last decade access for disabled people to public buildings has become an important part of the political agenda. Yet, one of the main forms of discrimination which still persists against disabled people is an inaccessible built environment. In particular, statutory authorities have been slow to acknowledge the mobility and access needs of disabled people, and the legislative base to back up local authority policies remains largely ineffectual and weak. In this paper, the interrelationships between disability and the built environment are considered by focusing on the role of the UK land-use planning system in securing access provision for disabled people.

AbstractObjectiveTo understand more about the relationship between economic deprivation, types of premises, food hygiene scores and rates of gastrointestinal illness in the UK.DesignData were extracted from the UK Food Standards Agency for about 300 000 UK premises which had hygiene scores based on visits from local authority food safety officers. These scores were analysed by type of premises, deprivation and local authority. Local authority-level average scores were mapped and compared with rates of laboratory-detected gastrointestinal illness from the Health Protection Agency.SettingUK.SubjectsUK premises (n 311 458) from 341 local authority areas that sell or produce food.ResultsThere was a modest but statistically significant relationship between average food hygiene score and deprivation, which was caused by deprived areas having more of the categories of premises with significantly lower hygiene scores; these were pub/club (n 40 525), restaurant/café/canteen (n 73 052), small retailer (n 42 932) and takeaway (n 36 708). No relationship was established between local authority average food hygiene scores and rates of laboratory-detected gastrointestinal illness; however, this result does not preclude a relationship between food hygiene and rates of gastrointestinal illnesses, as laboratory-detected illness rates make up only a small proportion of actual rates of illness in the community.ConclusionsCertain types of UK premises are more likely to have low hygiene scores, which means that they should be targeted more for enforcement. These types of premises are more prevalent in the most economically deprived areas.

Opening Up

Events have played a significant role in the way in which the Coronavirus pandemic has been experienced and known around the world. Little is known though about how the pandemic has impacted on supporting, managing and governing events in municipal (i.e., local) authorities as key stakeholders, nor how events have featured in the opening-up of localities. This paper reports on empirical research with senior events officers for local authorities in the UK on these key knowledge gaps. Specifically, it examines events officers' unfolding experiences of the pandemic. The paper points to unpreparedness for a crisis of this scale and magnitude, and the roles of innovation, adaptation and co-production in the emergent response. It highlights the transformative nature of the pandemic through reconsiderations of the purpose of public sector involvement in events and, from a policy perspective, how relatively smaller-scale, more agile and lower-risk arts events and performances can figure in local recovery. Finally, while the effects on, and response of, the body corporate (the local authority) to crises is an obvious focus, it is important to recognise those of the individuals who manage the response and drive change.

Abstract Objective: This study aims to identify the variants of SARS CoV 2 that were circulating in Ethiopia and spot dynamic mutational changes of spike antigenicity based on genome data analysis to put forward preventative measurement against pandemic. Results: The genomes from Ethiopia were confirmed to be evolutionary related to RaTG13 and SL- bat coronavirus and Spike receptor sites were conserved. The clade distribution of the genome was reflected as GH, GR and other O and intended for new variants. 3 female samples were detected as variants of concern VUI202012/01GRY B.1.1.7 which Pango linage B.1.1.7 was originated from the UK. Despite 21 notable mutations, 71% D614G, 28% D614X, 35% N501Y and 21% NSP5 S284G mutation were occurred predominantly in our genome samples. and could be antigenicity and infectivity. Mutation on N440K was perceived in a sample and potency resist SER-52 antibody neutralization and vaccine escape.

This research is entitled "the implementation of Edmodo media in Arabic language courses at IAI Nazhatut Thullab Sampang. And the purpose of this study is to describe: 1)process of learning Arabic courses with Edmodo media at IAI Nazhatut Thullab Sampang, 2)constraints on applying Edmodo media in learning Arabic courses at IAI Nazhatut Thullab Sampang. In this study, researchers used a qualitative research methodology, while the location of this study was in the campus of IAI Nazhatut Thullab Sampang, in this study the researchers obtained data from the study program, semester 1 students of MPI study program, Arabic language lecturers, and observational data that would be carried out by researchers, as well as the written data that researchers need. Researchers use data collection procedures, data analysis, and checking validity. The results of this study are: 1) Arabic language lecturers submit lecture contracts to be worked on for one semester. Then the Arabic language lecturer explained about Edmodo media to students, the Arabic language instructor told students to create an Edmodo account using a Gmail account. and with the various features in Edmodo Arabic language lecturers can provide exercises such as sending Arabic language videos to improve their specific language and student experience, it makes it easier for students to learn Arabic. 2)in the use of edmodo media when the network is not good because some students in their homes in the countryside, accompanied by students' lack of understanding of the use of edmodo such as functions rather than features contained in edmodo, thus hampering the process of learning Arabic.
