The Mental Health Crisis in Kashmir: An Epidemic Within A Pandemic
<p>It’s not a hidden fact that the Indian government wants sole claim over the State or now known as the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Kashmir is no stranger to lockdowns, curfews and military crackdowns when rules are not followed, and has always been the primary talking point whenever someone wants to defend the Indian Armies might or every time Pakistan threatens to free Kashmir from India’s stronghold.<br>It is interesting to note that for a state that everyone wants a piece of nobody in reality pays much heed to what the inhabitants of the state want. The narrative here is not just political but it is important to understand that no conversation about Kashmir can ever be apolitical. Everything that happens or has happened in the UT of Kashmir since India's independence in 1947 till the Abrogation of Article 370 in 2019, is always going to be political. While the rest of the world is updating their Covid-19 positive caseloads every day, not much is known about the number of positive cases, recovered cases, and deaths taking place in the<br>UT of Kashmir.<br>The 30 year long insurgency in Kashmir has resulted in several generations experiencing state induced violence as well as collective community violence. The official numbers state that about 40,000 people have died since India gained independence from the British in 1947. When young children see their primary and secondary caregivers die in front of their eyes or<br>not see them return home one fine day, a lot of questions arise. Some simple questions and some complex ones, the answers of which are not enough to soothe their aching soul for the loved ones they have lost. </p>
Profiling of linear B-cell epitopes against human coronaviruses in pooled sera sampled early in the COVID-19 pandemic
<p>Background: Antibodies play a key role in the immune defence against infectious pathogens. Understanding the underlying process of B cell recognition is not only of fundamental interest; it supports important applications within diagnostics and therapeutics. Whereas the nature of conformational B cell epitope recognition is inherently complicated, linear B cell epitopes offer a straightforward approach that potentially can be reduced to one of peptide recognition.</p> <p>Methods: Using an overlapping peptide approach representing the entire proteomes of the seven main coronaviruses known to infect humans, we analysed sera pooled from eight PCR-confirmed COVID-19 convalescents and eight pre-pandemic controls. Using a high-density peptide microarray platform, 13-mer peptides overlapping by 11 amino acids were in situ synthesised and incubated with the pooled primary serum samples, followed by development with secondary fluorochrome-labelled anti-IgG and -IgA antibodies. Interactions were detected by fluorescence detection. Strong Ig interactions encompassing consecutive peptides were considered to represent "high-fidelity regions" (HFRs). These were mapped to the coronavirus proteomes using a 60% homology threshold for clustering.</p> <p>Results: We identified 333 human coronavirus derived HFRs. Among these, 98 (29%) mapped to SARS-CoV-2, 144 (44%) mapped to one or more of the four circulating common cold coronaviruses (CCC), and 54 (16%) cross-mapped to both SARS-CoV-2 and CCCs. The remaining 37 (11%) mapped to either SARS-CoV or MERS-CoV. Notably, the COVID-19 serum was skewed towards recognising SARS-CoV-2-mapped HFRs, whereas the pre-pandemic was skewed towards recognising CCC-mapped HFRs. In terms of absolute numbers of linear B cell epitopes, the primary targets are the ORF1ab protein (60%), the spike protein (21%), and the nucleoprotein (15%) in that order; however, in terms of epitope density, the order would be reversed.</p> <p>Conclusion: We identified linear B cell epitopes across coronaviruses, highlighting pan-, alpha-, beta-, or SARS-CoV-2-corona-specific B cell recognition patterns. These findings could be pivotal in deciphering past and current exposures to epidemic and endemic coronavirus. Moreover, our results suggest that pre-pandemic anti-CCC antibodies may cross-react against SARS-CoV-2, which could explain the highly variable outcome of COVID-19. Finally, the methodology used here offers a rapid and comprehensive approach to high-resolution linear B-cell epitope mapping, which could be vital for future studies of emerging infectious diseases.</p>
Questionnaire and interview guidelines related to Süsser et al. (2024) on how the COVID-19 pandemic changed stakeholder engagement processes in sustainability research in the long-term
<p>The survey questionnaire and the interview guidelines have been designed in the framework of the EU H2020 projects SENTINEL to study the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on the stakeholder engagement processes in susatinability research in the longterm. We conducted interviews with researchers and engaged stakeholders, using a semi-structured interview guideline. We designed the survey as an explorative, semi-quantitative, self-completion online questionnaire, using the online tool “LimeSurvey”. The survey was reworked based on our previous survey. The study was a follow-up study on our own work (<em>Süsser, D., Ceglarz, A., Stavrakas, V., & Lilliestam, J.

Datos de la investigación: La voz del rehén: adapting creative sustainable development goal-based physical-artístico project during COVID pandemic situation
<p>This article assesses the effects on creativity of an interdisciplinary physicall-artistic programme and their effects during pandemic context. The sample comprised 97 individuals –54 men and 43 women– with an average age of 21.37±1.56, all of whom were studying a Primary Education Teacher Training Degree at Zaragoza University –Spain–. It was a pre-experimental study with measures pre-post programme –adapted to pandemic situation, replacing the acrosport content to skipping rope, juggling and aerial dance–. The creative skills assessment instrument was the PIC-A. A Student’s T-test and ANOVA test were performed to discover significant differences in pre-post in both academic years. Results showed that: i) participants obtained significant improvements in total score of creativity in both academic years; ii) the adaptations made to the intervention programme during the pandemic year were effective in developing creativity. These studies confirm the importance of incorporating interdisciplinary creativity programmes into the university system.</p>

Digital Contact Tracing: Overview of technological solutions for the fight against pandemics
<p>In late 2019, Covid-19 emerged and was soon declared a pandemic causing until now a massive health disruption and a huge impact on the global economy. Several governments around the world are still forced to take containment measures to curb the spread of the virus including partial or full lockdowns. At the same time, they rely heavily on human resources to perform manual Contact Tracing (CT) for alerting known contacts of the confirmed cases and breaking the infection chains early enough. However, CT does not scale well when the cases increase exponentially, due to the limited capacity of national public health authorities, and cannot identify possible <em>hidden</em> infections due to random encounters with strangers in crowded spaces such as restaurants, bars, theaters, public transportation, etc. To this end, Digital Contact Tracing (DCT) is becoming increasingly popular to enhance and empower CT, enabling automatic and faster identification and notification of exposed users. This presentation will first overview the different generations of DCT solutions from the privacy-invasive use of subscriber location data provided by cellular operators, to location monitoring mobile apps on GPS-equipped smartphones, to privacy-preserving mobile apps based on <em>proximity</em> sensing through Bluetooth. It will discuss the findings of recent studies with regards to the effectiveness of DCT and debate whether it has been – or has the potential to become – a game changer. Finally, it will outline the latest developments and trends in this active research field that are of interest to the IPIN community including <em>presence</em> tracing that aims to notify anonymously those users that have been in the same place (especially indoors) with an infected user, without necessarily satisfying the proximity constraint.</p>
Modeling to determine when to re-open HIV services during COVID-19 pandemic
<p><b>The Risks and Benefits of Providing HIV Services during the COVID-19 Pandemic</b></p> <p><b>Introduction</b></p> <p>The COVID-19 pandemic has caused widespread disruptions including to health services. In the early response to the pandemic many countries restricted population movements and some health services were suspended or limited. In late 2020 and early 2021 some countries re-imposed restrictions. Health authorities need to balance the potential harms of additional SARS-CoV-2 transmission due to contacts associated with health services against the benefits of those services, including fewer new HIV infections and deaths. This paper examines these trade-offs for select HIV services. </p> <p><b>Methods</b></p> <p>We used four HIV simulation models (Goals, HIV Synthesis, Optima HIV and EMOD) to estimate the benefits of continuing HIV services in terms of fewer new HIV infections and deaths. We used three COVID-19 transmission models (Covasim, Cooper/Smith and a simple contact model) to estimate the additional deaths due to SARS-CoV-2 transmission among health workers and clients. We examined four HIV services: voluntary medical male circumcision, HIV diagnostic testing, viral load testing and programs to prevent mother-to-child transmission. We compared COVID-19 deaths in 2020 and 2021 with HIV deaths occurring now and over the next 50 years discounted to present value. The models were applied to countries with a range of HIV and COVID-19 epidemics.</p> <p><b>Results</b></p> <p>Maintaining these HIV services could lead to additional COVID-19 deaths of 0.002 to 0.15 per 10,000 clients. HIV-related deaths averted are estimated to be much larger, 19 - 146 discounted deaths per 10,000 clients.</p> <p><b>Discussion</b></p> <p>While there is some additional short-term risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission associated with providing HIV services, the risk of additional COVID-19 deaths is at least 100 times less than the HIV deaths averted by those services. Ministries of Health need to take into account many factors in deciding when and how to offer essential health services during the COVID-19 pandemic. This work shows that the benefits of continuing key HIV services are far larger than the risks of additional SARS-CoV-2 transmission.</p>
Impairment of aversive episodic memories during Covid-19 pandemic: The impact of emotional context on memory processes
<p>The threatening context of the COVID-19 pandemic provided a unique setting to study the effects of negative psychological symptoms on memory processes. Episodic memory is an essential function of the human being related to the ability to store and remember experiences and anticipate possible events in the future. Studying this function in this context is crucial to understand what effects the pandemic will have on the formation of episodic memories. To study this, the formation of episodic memories was evaluated by free recall, recognition, and episode order tasks for an aversive and neutral content. The results indicated that aversive episodic memory is impaired both in the free recall task and in the recognition task. Even the beneficial effect that emotional memory usually has for the episodic order was undermined as there were no differences between the neutral and aversive condition. The present work adds to the evidence that indicates that the level of activation does not modify memory processes in a linear way, which also depends on the type of recall and the characteristics of the content to be encoded.</p>

Building Interprofessional Learning in the Midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Implementation of Online Simulation for Students in Health Profession
<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>COVID-19 has significantly affected the learning process of health institutions. It is inevitable that face-to-face learning activities will shift to online learning, including Interprofessional Education (IPE). The purpose of this article is to describe our experiences in developing a simulation of a two-day interprofessional learning and teaching session for students in nursing, midwifery, pharmacy, environmental sanitation, medical laboratory technology, dental health, and nutrition. A total of 956 students, 112 lecturers, and 15 standardized patients (SP) took part in this research. The study conducted in 6 schools of health profession in Indonesia. Students were assigned to two simulation models. The data were collected using an online questionnaire with the variables readiness to cooperate, interprofessional group discussions, and facilitator role with a 5-point Likert scale. In the implementation of the two simulation models, significant results have been demonstrated and their uniqueness is revealed. The simulation models that make direct anamnesis of the SP results in a higher level of readiness for IPE learning, and is significantly different. Meanwhile, the simulation model that is preceded by a scenario discussion process before making anamnesis to the SP shows a significantly positive attitude to the interprofessional groups discussion and the role of the facilitator.</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> interprofessional education, COVID-19 pandemic, online simulation, health professionals, standardized patient</p>

Breeding in the pandemic: Short-term lockdown restrictions in a European capital city did not alter the life-history traits of two urban adapters
<p><span>Humans are transforming natural habitats into managed urban green areas and impervious surfaces at an unprecedented pace. Yet the effects of human presence <em>per se</em> on animal life-history traits are rarely tested. This is particularly true in cities, where human presence is often indissociable from urbanisation itself. The onset of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, along with the resulting lockdown restrictions, offered a unique, "natural experiment" context to investigate wildlife responses to a sudden reduction of human activities. We analysed four years of avian breeding data collected in a European capital city to test whether lockdown measures altered nestbox occupancy and life-history traits in terms of egg-laying date, incubation duration, and clutch size in two urban adapters: great tits (<em>Parus major</em>) and blue tits (<em>Cyanistes caeruleus</em>). Lockdown measures, which modulated human presence, did not influence any of the life-history traits investigated. In contrast, tree cover, a distinct ecological attribute of the urban space, was positively associated with clutch size, a key avian life-history, and reproductive trait. This highlights the importance of habitat quality/ inter-year variation over human activity on the reproduction of urban wildlife. We discuss our results in light of other urban wildlife studies carried out during the pandemic, inviting the scientific community to carefully interpret all lockdown-associated shifts in biological traits.</span></p>
Students' Perception towards e-learning during COVID-19 Pandemic in Indonesia
<p>The study explores university students' perceptions of e-learning in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic. The study finds that students prefer e-learning because it enables them to connect with their lecturers and fellow students and engage with their study materials at their leisure, and with the freedom to choose their preferred location and time. One of the key reason students choose e-learning is the ease with which they may obtain study resources. The research methods used with a quantitative model, where the sample tested represented the student of 1137 respondents from 43 universities in Indonesia. The study's findings show the weakness of e-learning is that the majority of respondents responded in turn to interaction with lecturers (52,7%). The study also identified that the majority of respondents have a moderate mastery of technology, 1038 individuals (77.6%), while the remainder has poor knowledge of technology, as many as 52 people (3.9%). According to the study, e-learning technology enables quick access to information, which results in students developing a favorable attitude toward it based on its utility, self-efficacy, the convenience of use, and student behavior related to e-learning. The study verifies the utility of e-learning by demonstrating how it enables students to study from any geographical location, which is not achievable with face-to-face instruction.</p>
