Title A name given to the resource The Global Crisis and Its Role in the Formation and Development of Human Thinking Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Pavlova Elena, Paliy Irina Description An account of the resource Research background: The modern world is situated today in a very difficult and complicated period of existence: the coronavirus pandemic, quarantine, the global lockdown, etcetera. Today we are talking about the transition to a new type of social structure, and this transition to something new always entails complexity in adaptation and some breaking of familiar stereotypes. The mankind has faced again the necessity to develop new norms. Purpose of the article: In this article, from the point of view of philosophy, one of the most complex phenomena of the modern information age, is characterized, namely: the global crisis and its role in the formation and development of human thinking, is studied and analyzed. The author’s position echoing the key philosophical ideas presented by such philosophers as R. Descartes and B. Spinoza, I. Kant and G. Hegel, V. Heisenberg and by the others, however, contains its own authorial position. Methods: As part of the historical-comparative analysis, the crucial cultural and existential problems in modern society are demonstrated. The analysis is presented through the prism of such phenomena as a conflict of values, the subjective experience of a person, and a crisis. Thanks to an extensive historical-philosophical and sociocultural discourse, the main milestones of the transformation of understanding and attitude of a person to the basic existential elements of his being in a crisis situation are shown. Findings & Value added: The main focus of the article is on the study and new reception of some previous views on the phenomenon of crisis and the role of philosophy in its evolution.

Title A name given to the resource Analysis of E-Consumer Behaviour – Selected Findings from an Analysis of Czech E-Shops and their Customers during the Global Pandemic Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Pollak Frantisek, Konecny Michal Description An account of the resource The study presented in this contribution deals with the issue of using modern methods of data collection for the purposes of analysing consumer behaviour. Professional literature as well as business practice offer us an enormous number of approaches, traditional or innovative, with which it is possible to obtain and then evaluate data in order to understand specific patterns of consumer behaviour. Following on from our previous research in the field, we have applied a method of collecting and evaluating customers e-data in real time. As a source of data, we used the virtual social network Facebook. As a sample we selected customers of the five largest e-shops operated in the Czech Republic. On a sample of more than one and a half million users we monitored the B2C communication of e-shops and subsequently the C2B Facebook interaction of their customers during the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the observed period we analysed hundreds of thousands of interactions and then outlined basic trends and specific characteristics of consumer behaviour suitable for further research. The selected findings resulting from the implemented analyses contribute to the creation of a knowledge base of a qualitative nature, which can help to define research goals in the future process of examining the effects of the pandemic on various aspects of business.

Title A name given to the resource E-government in the Era of Globalization and the Health Crisis caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic, between Standards and Innovation Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Burlacu Sorin, Patarlageanu Simona Roxana, Diaconu Amelia, Ciobanu Ghenadie Description An account of the resource Research background: E-government has started from the challenges of new technologies by providing e-services to its citizens and has expanded today in more and more fields, including communication with citizens, budget management, macroeconomic forecasts, etc. If we accept the definition according to which eGovernment (or e-government) is an applicability of information technology for the provision of administrative services, information exchange, communication transactions, integration of various electronic systems and autonomous services between government and citizen (G2C), government and business environment (G2B), government and government (G2G) as well as for the processes and interactions of administrative staff in the entire infrastructure of the administration, and through e-government, government services are available to citizens in a convenient, efficient and transparent way, then we will accept and the conclusions of the same research that considers that in e-government there are no identifiable barriers. Purpose of the article: Through this paper we aim to highlight the current economic realities and how some governments have understood to use technology during the pandemic. Methods: The research methodology is based on documentary analysis. The bibliographic study, the secondary analysis of the data, the observation and the analysis complete the documentary analysis and allowed us to obtain some conclusive results. Findings & Value added: The pandemic health crisis has further pushed the limits of technology, which has been transformed into a true universal panacea for solving relatively vital economic activities for a national economy in a global context. A first finding was that the pandemic accelerated the need for digital governance. However, the modalities of action remain open.

Title A name given to the resource The Machine Prediction of the Mutual Trade between the PRC and the Czech Republic in the Global Extraordinary Situation Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Horak Jakub, Kucera Jiri Description An account of the resource Research background: International trade is a substantial constituent of the global and regional economic development. The analysis of mutual trade serves as a tool for a monetary expression of economic transactions between a particular country and its foreign partners for a specific period. For the Czech Republic (CR), the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is the biggest exporter and the second biggest importer. The USA, however, imposes a number of economic sanctions against the PRC that do not have any significant impact on the trade between both countries and the overall growth of the Chinese economy, yet they affect the behavior of consumers and producers both in the USA and in the PRC. Purpose of the article: The aim of this paper is to use machine learning for predicting the future values of the mutual trade between the CR and the PRC for one calendar year (i.e. 12 months). Methods: Monthly data of these two states´ import and export are used to predict bilateral trade flow. The time series begins in January 2005 and ends in April 2020. Thus, the time series contains 184 data lines. Artificial intelligence - artificial neural networks - is used to predict bilateral trade flow between the PRC and the CR. The development of trade is then compared with the mutual sanctions of the PRC and the USA. Findings & Value added: This is expected that the mutual trade balance to be negative from the perspective of the CR. COVID-19 or the sanctions imposed in the international trade will not significantly affect the development of the mutual trade between the CR and the PRC.

Title A name given to the resource Aspectos psicosociales asociados a la pandemia por COVID-19 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Niursy Bravo Hernández, Yvette Terry Jordán, Karla Sucet Elias-Armas, Irene Espinosa-Carás Description An account of the resource Introducción: se manifiesta más inquietud por las consecuencias biológicas de la infección por coronavirus-2 causal de la enfermedad COVID-19 en detrimento de su repercusión en la salud mental. Objetivo: recopilar información disponible sobre la repercusión psicosocial de la COVID-19 en la población. Método: entre marzo y septiembre de 2020, en el Policlínico Universitario “Omar Ranedo Pubillones” de Guantánamo se realizó una revisión bibliográfica narrativa. Se analizaron artículos originales y revisiones sistemáticas. La búsqueda se efectuó en las bases de datos Pubmed, Infomed y SciELO. Se utilizó el buscador Google Scholar, y las palabras clave y conectores: COVID-19 AND repercusión psicosocial; COVID-19 AND salud mental. Desarrollo: el distanciamiento social y el confinamiento mediante la cuarentena y el aislamiento engloban comportamientos que generan estrés psicosocial que modificación de modo negativo el bienestar psicológico. El riesgo es superior en niños y adultos mayores, en personas con vivencias de una cuarentena, con trastornos psicológicos previos, percepciones distorsionadas de riesgo, con toxicomanías, con ausencia de vínculos afectivos, situación económica precaria, convivencia en entornos de riesgo, entre otros factores. Conclusiones: la pandemia COVID-19 genera trastornos psicosociales en los enfermos confirmados o sospechosos de ello, en los integrantes del equipo de salud que los atiende y en la población general, y aunque hay muchos aspectos por dilucidar respecto a la repercusión sobre la salud mental, es necesario potenciar la resiliencia, el mejoramiento humano y la atención contextualizada a los grupos vulnerables para minimizar el impacto psicosocial.

Title A name given to the resource Evaluation of Ultraviolet-C Light for Rapid Decontamination of Airport Security Bins in the Era of SARS-CoV-2 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Curtis J. Donskey, Sarah N. Redmond, Jennifer Cadnum, Daniel F. Li, Lucas D. Jones, Basya Pearlmutter, Brigid Wilson Description An account of the resource Background:  Contaminated surfaces are a potential source for spread of respiratory viruses including SARS-CoV-2.  Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) light is effective against RNA and DNA viruses and could be useful for decontamination of high-touch fomites that are shared by multiple users.  Methods:  A modification of the American Society for Testing and Materials standard quantitative carrier disk test method (ASTM E-2197-11) was used to examine the effectiveness of ultraviolet-C (UV-C) light for rapid decontamination of plastic airport security bins inoculated at 3 sites with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and bacteriophages MS2, PhiX174, and Phi6, an enveloped RNA virus used as a surrogate for coronaviruses. Three log10 reductions on inoculated plastic bins were considered effective for decontamination.  Results: UV-C light administered as 10-, 20-, or 30-second cycles in proximity to a plastic bin reduced contamination on each of the test sites, including vertical and horizontal surfaces.  The 30-second cycle met criteria for decontamination of all 3 test sites for all the test organisms except bacteriophage MS2 which was reduced by greater than 2 log10 PFU at each site.  Conclusions: UV-C light is an attractive technology for rapid decontamination of airport security bins.  Further work is needed to evaluate the utility of UV-C light in real-world settings and to develop methods to provide automated movement of bins through a UV-C decontamination process.

Title A name given to the resource Políticas digitales en educación en tiempos de Pandemia: desigualdades y oportunidades para América Latina Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Maria Teresa Lugo, Virginia Soledad Ithurburu, Ana Sonsino, Florencia Loiacono Description An account of the resource El propósito de este estudio ha sido documentar y analizar las políticas digitales en educación implementadas en el periodo 2010 a 2018 en América Latina. Los hallazgos que aquí se comparten constituyen la línea de base del escenario actual de la política educativa digital en el contexto de emergencia por el COVID-19. A continuación, se presenta un panorama heterogéneo, desigual y a la vez prolífico de políticas desarrolladas en las últimas décadas con diversos alcances y enfoques. Se identifican tres modelos –tradicional, uno a uno y pensamiento computacional- como así también tendencias y desafíos que condicionan tanto el escenario educativo emergente como el desafío pospandemia que comienza a configurarse en la Región. Desde ya que las implicancias educativas de cada política no son, en todos los casos, claras ni evidentes, pero no caben dudas de que la nueva coyuntura de la pandemia por el COVID-19 pone a prueba, una vez más, las propuestas de inclusión digital educativa en América Latina.

Title A name given to the resource Search for conformation of thiosemicarbazone reagents and their complexes with metals by using Monte Carlo and docking simulation Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Nguyen Minh Quang, Tran Xuan Mau, Pham Nu Ngoc Han, Pham Van Tat Description An account of the resource In this study, the conformation of ML2 complexes of new thiosemicarbazone reagents with metal cations Cd2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, Pb2+, Mn2+, and Zn2+ is investigated. The methods include MM+ and PM3 calculations with the Monte Carlo techniques using the Metropolis algorithm in the temperature range of 298–473 K. The initial selection conformation was carried out randomly after 15 repeated conformations, and 30 conformations were rejected. The conformations were chosen to change by changing the torsional-dihedral angles at the position of the metal cation associated with the donor atoms N and S of the thiosemicarbazone reagents. This was performed by randomly changing the dihedral angles to create new structures, and then the energy values of these angles were minimized with the PM3 and MM+ calculation. The lowest suitable energies were accumulated, while high- or duplicate-energy structures were discarded. The docking method was also employed to screen the most suitable metal-thiosemicarbazone complexes that bind to the active site on the SARS-CoV-2 protein. The docking method enabled us to choose the molecular conformation of the most significant Cd2+-thiosemicarbazone complex.

Title A name given to the resource Bridging the Gap Between UK Government Strategic Narratives and Public Opinion/Behavior: Lessons From COVID-19 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Neil Dagnall, Kenneth Graham Drinkwater, Andrew Denovan, R. Stephen Walsh Description An account of the resource In the UK, there exists an important “action gap” between Government advice on measures necessary to counter the threat of COVID-19, and the behavior of a significant minority of the population. There are several reasons for this disconnect, including lack of message potency (i.e., credibility and congruence), inflexible/habitual behavior patterns, prevailing beliefs (i.e., vulnerability to, and seriousness of COVID-19), and individuals valuing personal concerns above general public health. For official messages to be effective and advice adhered to, strong, coherent “strategic narratives” are required. This article, using a psychological perspective, critically examined prevailing COVID-19 UK Government announcements during the lockdown (23/03/2020) and initial easing phase (10/05/2020). Specifically, it focused on important communication inconsistencies, and identified factors that may facilitate and create barriers to the adoption of essential public health directives. This included deliberation of factors that enhanced source impact, diminished the influence of message content, and the negative consequences of contrary information. Accordingly, this article proposes a framework for providing a unifying strategic narrative on COVID-19, one that helps to maximize the impact of key messages and promote effective behavior change. This framework places an emphasis on engaging the full range of actors and considers ways of reducing the efficacy of false information. The article provides recommendations that will potentially improve the reception of government policy and suggests how strategic narratives can harness the drivers of behavioral change needed to meet challenges such as COVID-19.
