In the history of world development, side to formation of the economic and financial systems, temporary crashes are not new. At different times, crises have always been experienced in different countries. However, within the rise of globalization and economic interdependence, modern crises are gaining much huge effects on social and economic systems. More than half a year passed since the novel Coronavirus declared as a pandemic and virus already killed more than 900 000 people, while bringing the total number of infections to more than 28 million. Aside from widen spread of the virus, it can already be boldly said that virus has become the biggest challenge of modern reality since the World War II. The Coronomic crisis, which became actual shortly since the outbreak of COVID-19 virus pandemic, is characterized by a different anatomy due to its nature. Unlike the previous crises, which experienced well-established financial and economic basis, the current crisis is significantly different. This time, the cause the crisis haven›t financial of economic source, but the roots come from medicine. The current situation makes the economy a hostage of medicine (Papava, 2020) which is a dramatically different phenomenon from the previous crashes. Unlike the economic crises over the last decade and century, the Coronomic crisis affects many sectors of the economy. While it puts into the agenda necessity of rethinking existing policy on international trade, production chain and generally structure of the economy. This requires in depth research, which is the aim of this article. Without vaccine and effective clinical treatments agains the virus, social distancing remains the only recommended tool agains the virus. The latter is a significant challenge for the modern economy. The current situation, in addition to the necessity of rethink economic policy also puts into the agenda the issue of establishing new trends in the international trade and economy. The reality in the post-pandemic period, which may lead to changes in the international supply chain and a new dealing out of the supply market, will lead to significant changes in the international economy that requires in-depth research and analysis. The aim of the paper is to analyze some of the above issues, which will be presented on the based of existing empirical data.

Volume Nine of this series traces the development of the ‘world novel’, that is, English-language novels written throughout the world, beyond Britain, Ireland, and the United States. Focusing on the period up to 1950, the volume contains survey chapters and chapters on major writers, as well as chapters on book history, publishing, and the critical contexts of the work discussed. The text covers periods from renaissance literary imaginings of exotic parts of the world like Oceania, through fiction embodying the ideology and conventions of empire, to the emergence of settler nationalist and Indigenous movements and, finally, the assimilations of modernism at the beginnings of the post-imperial world order. The book, then, contains chapters on the development of the non-metropolitan novel throughout the British world from the eighteenth to the mid twentieth centuries. This is the period of empire and resistance to empire, of settler confidence giving way to doubt, and of the rise of indigenous and post-colonial nationalisms that would shape the world after World War II.

In 2020, exactly 90 years have passed since the first sanitary faculty in the history of medical education (F. ErismannInstitute of Public Health, nowadays) was found in the 1st Moscow Medical Institute (Sechenov University, nowadays).The history of the faculty unites the names of prominent scientists in the field of preventive medicine: F. Erismann, N.A. Semashko, A.V. Molkov, A.N. Sysin, E.M. Tareev and many, many others. New challenges to public health continueto appear in our time. The direction of “preventive medicine” has become more important than ever in the context of a pandemic of infection caused by the novel coronavirus (COronaVIrus Disease-19, COVID-19). The issues of epidemiologyand hygiene have become extremely relevant for doctors of any profile, not only for preventive ones (epidemiologists and hygienists). The strategic task today is to increase the “preventive medicine” specialty’s authority. It is also important to preserve and enhance the domestic experience of studying the disciplines of preventive medicine, harmonizing the content of educational programs with the world community. Research work at the Institute is carried out in 4 main areas of preventive medicine and public health: epidemiology, public health, microbiology, and hygiene.This review presents the main historical milestones in the development of teaching the specialty “preventive medicine” at the Sechenov University, the current state, and prospects for further development.

The world witnessed one of the largest lockdowns in the history of mankind ever, spread over months in an attempt to contain the contact spreading of the novel coronavirus induced COVID-19. As billions around the world stood witness to the staggered lockdown measures, a storm brewed up in the urns of the rather hot Bay of Bengal (BoB) in the Indian Ocean realm. When Thailand proposed the name “Amphan” (pronounced as “Um-pun” meaning ‘the sky’), way back in 2004, little did they realize that it was the christening of the 1st super cyclone (Category-5 hurricane) of the century in this region and the strongest on the globe this year. At the peak, Amphan clocked wind speeds of 168 mph (Joint Typhoon Warning Center) with the pressure drop to 925 h.Pa. What started as a depression in the southeast BoB at 00 UTC on 16th May 2020 developed into a Super Cyclone in less than 48 hours and finally made landfall in the evening hours of 20th May 2020 through the Sundarbans between West Bengal and Bangladesh. Did the impact of the COVID-19 induced lockdown drive an otherwise typical pre-monsoon tropical depression into a super cyclone?

By mapping the clinical pathophysiology of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) against insights from virology, immunology, genomics, epidemiology and pharmacology, it is here proposed that the pathogen recognition receptor called toll like receptor 9 (TLR9) might have a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of COVID-19. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2, is causing the greatest global social and economic disruption since world war II. Lack of a vaccine, lack of successful treatment and limitations of the healthcare workforce and resources needed to safeguard patients with severe COVID-19 on the edge of life, demands radical preventive measures. It is urgently needed to identify biomarkers and drug candidates so that vulnerable individuals can be recognized early and severe multi-organ complications can be prevented or dampened. The TLR9 COVID-19 hypothesis describes a mechanism of action that could explain a wide spectrum of manifestations observed in patients with severe COVID-19. The introduced hypothesis proposes biomarkers for identification of vulnerable individuals and positions TLR9 as a promising multifaceted intervention target for prevention and/or treatment of COVID-19. TLR9 agonists might have value as prophylactic vaccine adjuvants and therapeutic immune stimulators at the early onset of disease. Additionally, in this current manuscript it is proposed for the first time that TLR9 could be considered as a target of “inhibition” aimed to dampen hyperinflammation and thrombotic complications in vulnerable patients that are at risk of developing late stages of COVID-19. The readily availability of TLR9 modulating drug candidates that have reached clinical testing for other disorders could favor a fast track development scenario, an important advantage under the current high unmet medical need circumstances regarding COVID-19.

UNSTRUCTURED With the worldwide rapidly growing number of patients infected with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the death toll has also been climbing up at a fast speed. There is an urgent need to search for cures for COVID-19 patients. A large number of clinical trials have been launched to test some existing or new antiviral therapeutics and vaccines. In contrast to starting from the scratch, many trials are initiated directly in phase II or III with the hope to expedite the developmental process. We summarize the information on the registered trials for the top ten COVID-19 drugs, and give an overview on the current situation and trend of treatments and clinical trials. In particular, we review those trials that have already been finished and discuss lessons that can be learned from them.

The travel industry worldwide has been dealt a vicious blow. It is forecast that the number of international tourist arrivals will fall by 60-80%% in 2020 due to the novel coronavirus, putting millions of jobs at risk (Alpert & Beilfuss, 2020; UNTWO, 2020). The drop in arrivals will lead to an estimated loss of $300-450 billion in international tourism receipts (The Economic Times, 2020). The industry will recover, but travel will never be the same again, and the year 2020 will be a defining moment in the history of the tourism sector. But how did this crisis unfold and start to impact travel? This chapter will track the period between the first signs of the virus at the end of 2019 to the beginning of April 2020, showing how as the virus spread, so too did its impact on the travel and tourism around the world.

The spread of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has resulted in the most devastating global public health crisis in over a century. At present, over 10 million people from around the world have contracted the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), leading to more than 500,000 deaths globally. The global health crisis unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic has been compounded by political, economic, and social crises that have exacerbated existing inequalities and disproportionately affected the most vulnerable segments of society. The global pandemic has had profoundly geographical consequences, and as the current crisis continues to unfold, there is a pressing need for geographers and other scholars to critically examine its fallout. This introductory article provides an overview of the current special issue on the geographies of the COVID-19 pandemic, which includes 42 commentaries written by contributors from across the globe. Collectively, the contributions in this special issue highlight the diverse theoretical perspectives, methodological approaches, and thematic foci that geographical scholarship can offer to better understand the uneven geographies of the Coronavirus/COVID-19.

Introduction: The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in Wuhan City, Hubei province of China, November 2019. As at September 2020, over 28 million infections have been identified with almost a million deaths worldwide causing an alarming pandemic. Clinical presentations in pregnant patients with COVID-19 could be atypical with normal temperature (56%) and leukocytosis. This is further masked by the features of pregnancy. We present the management of a COVID-19 parturient in our obstetric unit. Case Report: A 32 year old unbooked G₃P₁⁺1 lady at 32 weeks who presented via referral from a private facility with a history of elevated blood pressure and ++ of protein in urine. Also, complaints of cough and difficulty with breathing. On examination she was noted to be anxious, afebrile, not pale, anicteric, acyanosed, not dehydrated. Had bilateral pedal oedema. Tachypnic with a respiratory rate of 28 cycles per min with basal crepitations. Pulse rate was 96bpm full and regular. Blood pressure was 180/100 mmHg. Heart sounds S₁S₂only.An impression of Chronic hypertension with superimposed pre-eclampsia at 32 wks GA in a primipara with one previous CS with pulmonary edema. Keep in view COVID-19. She was managed with oxygen, antihypertensives, steroids, while observing strict infection control protocol. She had an emergency caesarean section under subarachnoid block and was delivered of a live female neonate. A confirmatory positive result for covid-19 was obtained 24hrs later. Neonate was however negative. None of the staff became positive also. Conclusion: The management of suspected cases of COVID-19 infection should be same as cases already confirmed. As the epidemic persists, numbers will continue to rise andhence our index of suspicion should be heightened. Pregnant women will also present with symptoms masked by the features of a sick parturient. Full complement of PPE must be worn by all staff attending to both confirmed and suspicious cases of COVID-19 infection and strict adherence to stated protocols must be observed.

Objective: Similar to outbreaks of many other infectious diseases, success in controlling the novel coronavirus infection requires a timely and accurate monitoring of the epidemic. The main objective of the present study is to assess consciousness and precautionary habit relating to COVID-19 infections among students. Methods: The descriptive survey research design method was used. The researcher formulated two research questions. A self-developed questionnaire was adopted for data collection. The sample size consists of students in Nwafor Orizu College of Education, Nsugbe, selected using purposive random sampling technique, subsequently, thirty copies of the questionnaire were administered by the researcher. Mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the data. Results: The study showed among other findings that students are conscious about the possibility of the disease transmission by droplets when an infected person cough, sneezes, or speaks. These findings have the vantage of providing the researchers, government, students, policy makers, and government with adequate and correct baseline data on consciousness and precautionary habit relating to COVID-19 infections among students. Conclusion: Based on the research findings, it was concluded that the world has a long history of successful efforts to prevent or cure widespread infections. The main points in preventing the spread in society are hand hygiene, social distancing, and quarantine. With increased testing capacity, detecting more positive patients in the community will also enable the reduction of secondary cases with stricter quarantine rules.
