This is an analytical review of engagement and outreach of Salar Jung Museum Library's collection (MSS, printed, and digital). The chapter aims to visualize the benefits of being located in a heritage city, viz., Hyderabad, in India. The method adopted is first to trace impressions of researchers and scholars and second to gather data of its presence in libraries across the world. Tracing such variety and distinctness will open doors for further exploring the impact factors. The original collector, viz., Salar Jung, had open doors for diversity and open mind to welcome all cultural depictions of the world. Its diversity is evident in artifacts and resources that represent samples from East and West. So also is its inclusiveness – the entire collection is without bias of gender, race, or religion. The data analysis shows the engagement in heritage building is reciprocal. A study in the post-COVID era with a larger variety of data (viz., survey, virtual visits, digital impression) will reveal the full picture of reciprocity and will also highlight the actual needs and demands.

The Chapter addresses the need to cope with firms as participants in the World Power System. « Agency theory » has led to biased firm governance. The bias extends to accounting rules which do not provide a full picture of the impact of a firm’s operations and actually prevents firms from adapting their ways to the requirements of today’s predicament. Addressing world issues such as climate change requires the making of decisions to change our ways of producing, travelling and consuming. In an open economy, the competition among large business firms derivatively leads to a race to the bottom among States to offer firms accommodating legal environments. This limits the States’ ability to internalize negative externalities and to redistribute income. Given the inherent defects of our divided State System, it is at the firm level that governmental rules must be developed so that firms consider the consequences of their activities to a larger extend than they do today. Economic decisions within organizations are made on the basis of the accounting of their operations. To change the decisions they make, we need to amend the ways organizations account for their operations.

<p><em>This study aims to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Indonesian economy. Until this research was written, 93 countries were found infected with COVID-19. The spread of COVID-19 which had spread eventually brought very bad risks to the world economy, including Indonesia, especially in terms of tourism, trade and investment. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative method that uses an approach called secondary data analysis, which is a research methodology that uses secondary data as the main data source. Based on the results of the study, Indonesia is currently still in a stable economic situation. Strategic steps related to fiscal and monetary are also estimated to still have room to provide economic stimulus if needed. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic case developed, the market did fluctuate more in the negative direction. Not only that, the slow pace of Indonesia's export activities to China will also have a significant impact on the economy in Indonesia.</em></p><p><em><br /></em></p><p><em>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dampak pandemi COVID-19 terhadap perekonomian Indonesia. Hingga penelitian ini ditulis ditemukan 93 negara yang telah terjangkit COVID-19. Pandemi COVID-19 yang telah menyebar pada akhirnya membawa risiko yang sangat buruk bagi perekonomian dunia termasuk Indonesia khususnya dari sisi pariwisata, perdagangan serta investasi. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kuantitatif deskriptif dengan menggunakan pendekatan analisis data sekunder. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, dampak pandemi COVID-19 menyebabkan rendahnya sentimen investor terhadap pasar yang pada akhirnya membawa pasar ke arah cenderung negatif. Langkah-langkah strategis terkait fiskal dan moneter sangat dibutuhkan untuk memberikan rangsangan ekonomi. Seiring berkembangnya kasus pandemi COVID-19, pasar lebih berfluktuasi ke arah yang negatif. Tidak hanya itu saja, lambatnya ekonomi global khususnya kegiatan ekspor Indonesia ke China juga berdampak signifikan terhadap perekonomian Indonesia. Hal tersebut berdasarkan analisis sensitivitas yang menjelaskan bahwa lambatnya ekonomi global saat ini sangat berdampak terhadap pertumbuhan perekonomian Indonesia.</em></p>

This study was designed to uncover the impact of neuroticism on leisure satisfaction based on online games in Taiwan, the country that has the second largest online game-playing market in the world. A systematic sampling produced 500 usable questionnaires for the final data analysis. The findings indicate a negative relationship between neuroticism and leisure satisfaction. This research therefore provides evidence that overall leisure satisfaction decreases in persons with a greater neuroticism tendency.

In the past ten years, researchers have explored the impact of data revisions in many different contexts. Researchers have examined the properties of data revisions, how structural modeling is affected by data revisions, how data revisions affect forecasting, the impact of data revisions on monetary policy analysis, and the use of real-time data in current analysis. This paper summarizes many of the questions for which real-time data analysis has provided answers. In addition, researchers and institutions have developed better real-time data sets around the world. Still, additional research is needed in key areas and research to date has uncovered even more fruitful areas worth exploring. (JEL C52, C53, C80, E01)

Background. The COVID-19 pandemic is a global pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The outbreak was first recorded in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. On January 30, 2020, the WHO declared the outbreak a health emergency of international significance, and on March 11, 2020 – a pandemic. In Ukraine, Covid-19 coronavirus infection (a new type of pneumonia) was first diagnosed on March 3, 2020, in Chernivtsi. On March 13, the first fatal outcome of Covid-19 was recorded. The purpose of the study was to analyze information sources for the last year. Materials and methods. The research used methods of semantic evaluation of scientific documents, as well as methods of structural and logical analysis. Results. The COVID-19, formerly a coronavirus infection 2019 nCoV is a potentially severe acute respiratory infection caused by coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (2019 nCoV) and is a dangerous disease that can occur in the form of acute respiratory viral infection of mild and severe form. Studies suggest that the virus is the result of recombination of bat coronavirus with another, as yet unknown, coronavirus. At the same time, scientists from the United States concluded that SARS-CoV-2 has a genetic trace that is not observed in natural coronavirus. They said that it is founded evidence of artificial origin of the coronavirus. In 2021, the WHO changed the labeling of coronavirus strains, including four strains of concern and known to the public as options first discovered in Britain (Kent) (B.1.1.7), South Africa (B.1.351), Brazil (P.1) and India (B.1.617.2). From now on, the WHO recommends, labeling them using the letters of the Greek alphabet, ie - Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta, respectively. The most common symptoms of the Covid-19 coronavirus infection are fever, dry cough, shortness of breath, severe fatigue, muscle aches, sore throat, headache, loss or disturbance of taste and/or odor (characteristic symptom). Less common symptoms are diarrhea, conjunctivitis, skin rash, or discoloration of the fingers and toes. Symptoms that may occur with a severe course of SARS-CoV-2 infection: difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, chest pain or chest pressure, impaired speech or motility. To diagnose COVID-19 coronavirus infection is possible only having carried out necessary testing methods, namely: PCR, determination of coronavirus RNA SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19); IgG antibodies, coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19); IgM antibodies, coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19); IgA antibodies, coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2); Rapid test, coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, antigen, etc. There are two ways to acquire immunity: get sick or get vaccinated. There are more than 80 human vaccine studies in the world, although some are in the early stages of clinical trials. At the same time, companies whose vaccines are already in use around the world have begun to study updated versions of drugs that should be effective against new strains of the COVID-19 virus. Conclusions. Now, it is necessary to radically change the approach to combating the COVID-19 epidemic in 2021-2022. Priority should be given to early detection and containment of COVID-19 coronavirus infection outbreaks (testing, contact tracking, isolation) and a vigorous immunization campaign against ­COVID-19. Investigate the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on the loss of human capital: lost services (forgone care), excessive mortality, additional burden of morbidity, in particular for chronic diseases. Direct resources to renew programs to increase the availability of health services. The increase in system load through the COVID-19 vaccination program should be considered.

The coronavirus outbreak, Covid-19, began in December 31, 2019 in Wuhan, China and quite quickly was spread in 212 countries and territories around the world. In Albania the first cases of Covid-19 were confirmed in March 2020. Covid -19 pandemic emergency has transformed into a worldwide financial emergency, putting in danger the wellbeing, occupations and salaries of millions of individuals around the planet. Coronavirus devastatingly affects the monetary security and prosperity of families. Since March 2020, the world economy has shed more than 13.3 million positions – 55% of them lost by ladies – setting off broad joblessness and sharp decreases in family incomes. Albania has been hit by two crushing stuns with hardly a pause in between: The November 2019 earth quake and the Covid-19 pandemic in spring 2020 that has frozen huge pieces of the economy. These stuns rule ongoing financial turns of events and the close term viewpoint for the economy. The main objective of this study is to investigate the impact that Covid-19, has had in personal income and also in the way that Albanian react in this situation related to family savings. To fulfil this objective, primary data are collected for the Tirana commune and its surroundings. In order to administer a considerable amount of data, a number of 1500 randomly selected individuals have been directly interviewed. From the data analysis we have concluded that most of the independent factors that we have chosen are significant in the three models. Also from the survey we have seen that the majority of the have changed their way of thinking related to personal and family savings. And as the main reason form this, they have listed the pandemic situation.

The next big step in combating the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic will be gaining widespread acceptance of a vaccination campaign for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), but achieving high uptake need proper understandings. Many health professionals, researchers, statisticians, and programmers to track the viruses spread in different parts of the world have used various methods. However, the proliferation of vaccines produced by talented scientists around the world has sparked a strong desire to extract meaningful insights from available data. Until now, several vaccines against coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have been approved and are being distributed worldwide in various regions. This study aims to report the detailed data analysis and result-oriented storytelling of the COVID-19 vaccination program of different countries across the globe. To analyze the vaccination trend globally this research utilized two different open datasets provided by ourworldindata.org and worldometers.info. An exploratory data analysis (EDA) with interactive data visualization using various python libraries was conducted, and the results are presented in this article to better understand the impact of ongoing vaccination programs around the world. Apart from the valuable insights gained from the data of various countries, this investigation also included a comparison of the number of confirmed and death cases before and after vaccination to determine the efficacy of each vaccine in each country. The results show that a large number of people are still undecided about whether or not to get a COVID-19 vaccine, despite the virus's continued devastating effects on communities. Overall, our findings contribute to ongoing research aimed at informing policy on how to persuade the unvaccinated to be vaccinated.

Exemplary for other than English-language psychology journals, the impact of recent Anglicization of five former German-language psychology journals on (1) authorship (nationality, i.e., native language, and number of authors, i.e., single or multiple authorships), (2) formal characteristics of the journal (number of articles per volume and length of articles), and (3) number of citations of the articles in other journal articles, the language of the citing publications, and the impact factors (IF) is analyzed. Scientometric data on these variables are gathered for all articles published in the four years before anglicizing and in the four years after anglicizing the same journal. Results reveal rather quick changes: Citations per year since original articles’ publication increase significantly, and the IF of the journals go up markedly. Frequencies of citing in German-language journals decrease, citing in English-language journals increase significantly after the Anglicization of former German-language psychology journals, and there is a general trend of increasing citations in other languages as well. Side effects of anglicizing former German-language psychology journals include the publication of shorter papers, their availability to a more international authorship, and a slight, but significant increase in multiple authorships.
