Evaluation of menstrual irregularities after COVID-19 vaccination: Results of the MECOVAC survey
2022
Abstract We investigated menstrual irregularities after the first and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

We excluded women with gynaecological and non-gynaecological diseases, undergoing hormonal and non-hormonal treatments, in perimenopause or menopause, as well as those who had irregular menstrual cycles in the last 12 months before vaccine administration.

Il docente universitario: personalizzazione ed autoefficacia percepita
2021
Per rispettare le misure di distanziamento imposte dal COVID-19, le Università hanno dovuto adottare la didattica a distanza (DaD). L’occasione è stata propizia per cercare di personalizzare il processo di insegnamento-apprendimento, vale a dire per centrare meglio la formazione erogata dalle Università sulle esigenze dei singoli studenti. L’attuazione dei principi della didattica personalizzata ha richiesto un impegno non indifferente ai docenti che vi si sono cimentati. È stato ipotizzato che la percezione della propria capacità di personalizzare la formazione degli studenti con il supporto delle tecnologie dell’informazione e della comunicazione, influisse sull’efficacia didattica dei do…

Bakalaura darba tēma: Covid-19 pārslimošanas sekas un to ietekme uz dzīves kvalitāti smagos un vidēji smagos saslimšanas gadījumos. Tēma ir aktuāla, jo kopš 2019. gada vīruss strauji un plaši izplatījies visā pasaule, izraisot daudz dažādas izmaiņas cilvēku veselībā, dzīves kvalitātē un ikdienas dzīvē. Tomēr joprojām ir daudz neatbildētu jautājumu un neatrastu risinājumu, kā arī informācijas par vīrusa ietekmi un sekām illgtermiņā gan uz pārslimojušo veselību, gan dzīves kvalitāti.

Use of ICT to support epidemiological surveillance on a community of university students during SARS-CoV-2 phase 3 pandemic
2021
Populations documenting to date low incidence rates of SARS-CoV-2 infection are immunologically susceptible and at high exposure risk of new COVID-19 outbreaks during phase 3 of the pandemic. Following the experience documented by other countries with regard to the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) to counteract the current pandemic, Italy has implemented a contact tracing system based on a mobile application. In this work, we describe the proposal of a complementary ICT-based prototypal model of COVID-19 prevention and surveillance system, involving the university students as sentinels acting both in the academic community and the general population.
WHY DID THEY NEED TO COME NOW? COVID-19 CRISIS STRAINS RELATIONSHIPS WITH RETURNING AND VISITING COMPATRIOTS
2021
One of the first areas severely hit by the Covid-19 pandemic was international travel. In March/April, with commercial flights coming to a near halt, the governments were struggling to help their stranded citizens to return home. Extra flights and ferry trips were organised, and the opportunity to return was used by many emigrants worried about the uncertainty and the possible future development of the pandemic. This paper containing both data collected through survey and in-depth interviews with people aged 50+ in Latvia, is the first to explore the reactions of the society to repatriation policy implemented by the government of Latvia, and to explore how the Covid-19 situation has affecte…
