AbstractIn the coronavirus outbreak pandemic by COVID-19, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been issuing several guidelines through all government agencies. In line with those guidelines, social distancing in the population has been a major prevention practice, compelled by all government agencies worldwide. Despite strong recommendations to maintain at least one-and-a-half-meter distance between the persons, the guideline is not scrupulously followed. To overcome this situation, an IoT-based technical solution is proposed through this paper. PIR sensor is used for the detection of a target in the vicinity (1.5 m). Upon violation of social distancing norms, the system will trigger an audio alarm after the detection of the target object. The research paper model is prepared by considering the needs of the people. Many researchers are focusing on tracking affected persons, but few are focusing on the social distancing preventive. The suggested portable device will always notify the person who is violating the norm of 1.5 m. The proposed device will minimize the possibility of transmission and reduce the infection rate of COVID-19. The device uses a PIR sensor depending upon the applicability area of the human being.

Social distancing with the aim of avoiding infections and pre-serve critical care capacities during the COVID-19 pandemic has been implemented in Germany according to World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations from early March onwards. Limitations of physical contacts to reduce exposure to SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals were handled strictly, particularly in medical centers dealing with airway diseases, like rhinology and pneumology clinics. Such measures and reluctance to visit out- and inpatient services resulted in a 82% decrease in consultations to the 12 German oto-rhino-laryngological (ORL) centres forming our database during the 50 days following March 09 in 2020 if compared to the same period in 2019. Our data on CRS care underline reports on undertreatment of non-COVID-19 individuals with several different diseases during the current pandemic. We should try to reduce the toll these patients have to pay as much as possible. We established telemedicine, e-Health and artificial intelligence-supported triage for selecting the right patients for onsite-consultations and to advise patients in several demands.

<p class="06IsiAbstrak">The religion approach in realizing the new normal scenario in the pandemic era is urgent considering that religious doctrine is easier to accept and obey. So that it can be an effective step to prevent transmission. This research is qualitative research. This type of research is library research. The data collection method is done by reading and taking notes and processing data related to the social distancing perspective of Al-Ghazali's works of Sufism. This study found similarities between the social distancing perspective of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the social distancing perspective of Al-Ghazali's Sufism. This similarity is at least in two ways, first both emphasize the importance of maintaining distance from others, the second in the realm of strategy. The basic difference is in the realm of goals. The existence of this equation causes social distancing in the new normal era, the perspective of Sufism is important to offer and deserve to be published. and other things that underlie are two things, first, so that social distancing is not only maintaining immunity but also maintaining faith. The two social interaction strategies originating from religious doctrine will be easier to comply with given the ineffectiveness of government advice in implementing social distancing. Efforts to maintain one's consistency in implementing social distancing, there are three things that need to be considered, first to keep busy with positive things at home, second always to remember the dangers of interacting with the general public, third to minimize dependence on other people.</p>

Ever since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a pandemic, there has been a public health debate concerning medical resources and supplies including hospital beds, intensive care units (ICU), ventilators, and Protective Personal Equipment (PPE). Forecasting COVID-19 dissemination has played a key role in informing healthcare professionals and governments on how to manage overburdened healthcare systems. However, forecasting during the pandemic remained challenging and sometimes highly controversial. Here, we highlight this challenge by performing a comparative evaluation for the estimations obtained from three COVID-19 surge calculators under different social distancing approaches, taking Lebanon as a case study. Despite discrepancies in estimations, the three surge calculators used herein agree that there will be a relative shortage in the capacity of medical resources and a significant surge in PPE demand as the social distancing policy is removed. Our results underscore the importance of implementing containment interventions including social distancing in alleviating the demand for medical care during the COVID-19 pandemic in the absence of any medication or vaccine. It is said that ″All models are wrong, but some are useful″, in this paper we highlight that it is even more useful to employ several models.

Abstract: On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed COVID-19 a pandemic, in response to the more than 1,00,000 confirmed cases globally in more than 100 countries, and the persistent threat of spreading further. Presently, there is no medicine to cure or vaccine to prevent the spread of COVID 19. The only way to curb its menace is taking precautionary measures as advised by Health experts. Social distancing i.e. maintaining a minimum distance of 1-1.5 meter between two individuals is one of the proactive measures advised by WHO. In this paper, an ATMEGA (open source) based Smart wearable device “Manav Rakshak” is proposed. It can be worn while travelling outside home and will help in maintaining the social distancing thereby curb the spread of COVID-19.

<p class="Abstrak">COVID-19 atau <em>Coronavirus Disease</em> 2019 merupakan sebuah penyakit yang disebabkan oleh virus yang dapat menular melalui saluran pernapasan pada hewan atau manusia dan menyebabkan ribuan orang meninggal hampir di seluruh dunia, sehingga dinyatakan sebagai sebuah pandemi di banyak negara, termasuk di Indonesia. Kasus COVID-19 pertama kali ditemukan di Indonesia pada tanggal 2 Maret 2020, dalam menangani pandemi COVID-19 pemerintah menerapkan <em>social distancing </em>dengan menjaga jarak antara satu sama lain sejauh lebih dari 1 meter dan menerapkan protokol kesehatan yang telah diatur saat melakukan aktivitas di luar rumah sesuai anjuran <em>World Health Organization</em> (WHO). Rendahnya kesadaran masyarakat Indonesia dalam menerapkan <em>social distancing</em> dan protokol kesehatan menyebabkan bertambahnya kasus positif COVID-19 di Indonesia secara signifikan sehingga banyak korban yang meninggal, oleh karena itu pada penelitian ini kami membuat sistem klasifikasi tingkat laju data COVID-19 untuk mitigasi penyebaran di seluruh provinsi di Indonesia dengan menggunakan metode <em>Modified K-Nearest Neighbor </em>(MKNN) dengan hasil keluaran berupa kelas laju penyebaran yaitu laju penyebaran rendah yang artinya mitigasi penybarannya tinggi, kemudian kelas laju penyebaran sedang yang artinya mitigasi penyebarannya sedang, dan laju penyebaran tinggi yang berarti mitigasi penyebaran rendah dan dijelaskan lebih lanjut pada bagian metodologi penelitian. Hasil keluaran dari sistem bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat Indonesia dalam mencegah COVID-19 dengan melihat kelas laju penyebaran pada masing-masing provinsi di Indonesia. Alasan penggunaan metode <em>Modified K-Nearest Neighbor </em>pada penelitian ini adalah karena metode <em>Modified K-Nearest Neighbor </em>merupakan salah satu metode klasifikasi yang cukup baik, dimana pada metode ini dilakukan pemvalidasian dan pembobotan yang bobot nya ditentukan dengan menghitung fraksi dari tetangga berlabel yang sama dengan total jumlah tetangga.<em> </em>Parameter yang digunakan dalam proses klasifikasi adalah jumlah kasus positif, jumlah orang yang sembuh, dan jumlah orang yang meninggal akibat COVID-19. Data yang digunakan pada penelitian ini berasal dari situs resmi kementerian kesehatan republik Indonesia yang dapat diakses pada link <a href="https://infeksiemerging.kemkes.go.id/">https://infeksiemerging.kemkes.go.id/</a> dengan jumlah data latih sebanyak 374 data pada tanggal 12 Mei 2020 sampai 22 Mei 2020  dan data uji sebanyak 136 data pada tanggal 23 Mei 2020 sampai tanggal 26 Mei 2020 , hasil akurasi yang dihasilkan adalah 97,79% dengan nilai <em>K</em> = 3.</p><p class="Abstrak"> </p><p class="Abstrak"><em><strong>Abstract</strong></em></p><p class="Abstract"><em>COVID-19 or Coronavirus 2019 is a disease caused by a virus that can be transmitted through the respiratory tract to animals or humans and causes more people to die around the world, making it a pandemic in many countries, including Indonesia. COVID-19 cases were first discovered in Indonesia on March 2, 2020. Under the COVID-19 pandemic agreement, the government imposed a social grouping with a grouping of more than 1 meter apart from one another and the transfer of related health protection when carrying out activities outside the home as directed by the World Health Organization(WHO). Considering the Indonesian people in implementing social preservation and protecting health policies increase the positive acquisition of COVID-19 in Indonesia significantly related to the number of victims who died, therefore in this study, we created a COVID-19 data level assessment system for transfer mitigation in all provinces in Indonesia by using the Modified K-Nearest Neighbor (MKNN) method with the output in the form of a spread rate class, namely a low spread rate which means that the spread mitigation is high, then the medium spread rate class which means the spread mitigation is moderate, and the spread rate is high which means low spread mitigation which is further explained in the section on the research methodology. The purpose of the system output is to increase the awareness of the Indonesian people in preventing COVID-19. The parameters used in the classification process are the number of positives, the number of people recovered, and the number of people died by COVID-19 by looking at the class distribution rate in each province in Indonesia. The reason for using the Modified K-Nearest Neighbor method in this research is because the Modified K-Nearest Neighbor method is a fairly good classification method, where this method is validated and weighted whose weight is determined by calculating the fraction of neighbors labeled the same as the total of  neighbors number. The data used in this study was released from the official website of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia which can be accessed at the link <span style="text-decoration: underline;">https://infection.infemerging.kemkes.go.id/</span> with a total of 374 training data from May 12, 2020 to May 22, 2020 and test data As many as 136 data from 23 May 2020 to 26 May 2020, the resulting accuracy was 97.79% with a K = 3.</em></p>

A central task in a study of occasional, moderate, and stable nonmedical drug use was to distinguish such “controlled” use from destructive using patterns. A search of the literature revealed the lack of objective and precise definitions of drug abuse and the extent to which this had hampered efforts at treatment, prevention, and research. Popular conceptions of abuse ignored the variability of drug-using styles and tended to reflect the social acceptability of various drugs and Puritanical values. Purportedly scientific definitions, including those of the World Health Organization, proved vague, inconsistent, and culturally biased. Users' self-evaluation of their drug-taking and quantitative measures also proved inadequate. Given these difficulties, we conclude that “drug abuse” and similar terms should be replaced by more accurate descriptions of the actual drug-using situation and, if possible, illustrated with case material.

The coronavirus infection epidemic, declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, emerged in China in late 2019. In addition to the measures announced by the World Health Organization in order to prevent the epidemic and protect public health during the COVID-19 pandemic process we are in, travel restrictions planned and implemented by the country's governments, social distance rule, curfew, social isolation, quarantine, flexibility in working hours, distance education and The practice of working from home has changed people's lives. Various measures have been taken to protect the individual and the society, with calls such as "Stay at Home" and "Life Comes Home". In general, all these measures, restrictions and curfews have affected the society, but have also caused changes in the functioning of the family institution, the smallest structure of the society, and the roles of family members. During the COVID-19 pandemic process, family members had to spend most of their time at home and family members of all ages were affected by this obligation. Families have had to cope with difficulties such as the use of masks, social distance, isolation and quarantine in daily life and get used to this life order. In order to prevent contamination of family members with COVID-19 infection to other family members, the death of the family member with COVID-19 infection, the sickness of other family members, along with difficulties such as ensuring the effectiveness and continuity of domestic hygiene, maintaining physical distance, using a mask at home, many mental difficulties were also experienced due to reasons such as not adapting to the lifestyle. It was necessary to reveal how the process, which affects life to a great extent and requires such measures, which is difficult and with a high stress burden, affects the family institution, the smallest unit of the society. In this context, in this study, in line with the literature, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic process on family life and family members in the home environment will be discussed.
