The digital divide in the world of education at the time of Covid-19
2021
Education in the digital age uses new intelligent technologies as enabling and daily tools at the service of learning. Education has always been a challenge and today it is even more so since, given the many difficulties of the moment, to support the school in the time of Covid-19 it is necessary to implement rapid and timely changes that require, in addition to high investments, also new ways of sharing knowledge. Only by acting in this direction is it possible to make a virtue of necessity and transform the many critical issues, due to the pandemic causes, into strategic opportunities. The spread of Covid-19 has forced 80% of students around the world to not go to school and stay at home,…
Comparing SARS-CoV-2 case rates between pupils, teachers and the general population: results from Germany
2021
Given the inconsistent state of research regarding the role of pupils and teachers during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Germany, statewide and nationwide data of infection case rates were analyzed to contribute to the discourse. Infection data from official sources ranging from mid to late 2020 were collected, prepared and analyzed to answer the question if pupils, teachers and general population differ in infection case rates or not. Statewide and nationwide data showed that pupils and teachers infection case rates exceeded those of the general population. However, present data do not necessarily indicate that SARS-CoV-2 cases of pupils and teachers infections took place at schools. Actually,…
El desarrollo rural a partir de la gobernanza territorial en tiempos del coronavirus (Ocón, La Rioja, España) / / / \ \ \ Rural development from the …
2020
Resumen: Con una tendencia demográfica descendente y una pérdida de servicios y de ofertas de consumo durante la segunda mitad del s XX, los pueblos de Ocón (La Rioja) presentaban las mismas características que la mayor parte de zonas rurales del interior peninsular. Durante las dos últimas décadas, Ocón ha conseguido revertir esta situación, con un desarrollo local muy activo y dinámico, como se ha dejado ver en la diversificación de su economía, en la revitalización de sus núcleos de población a través de la ejecución de multitud de proyectos e infraestructuras y en una mayor oferta de servicios, que poco a poco van cubriendo las demandas de la población. Demográficamente, presenta un ele…
Do patients with pathological health anxiety fear COVID-19? A time-course analysis of 12 single cases during the “first wave” of the COVID-19 pandemi…
2021
Objective Pre-existing health anxiety is associated with an intensified affective response to the novel COVID-19 pandemic in the general population. Still, results on the reaction of people with a diagnosis of pathological health anxiety (i.e., hypochondriasis) are scarce. Methods In the present study, we investigated the course of (health) anxiety related to SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 in comparison to (health) anxiety related to other severe diseases (e.g., cancer) in a sample of 12 patients with the diagnosis of pathological health anxiety during the “first wave” of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany. Both SARS-CoV-2 related anxiety and anxiety related to other severe diseases were assessed weekly…
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.
Hospitalization for self-harm during the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic in France: a nationwide study
2020
ABSTRACTIntroductionLittle is known to date about the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on self-harm incidence.MethodsThe number of hospitalizations for self-harm in France (mainland and overseas) from January to August 2020 (which includes the first confinement from March 17th to May 11th) was compared to the same period in 2019-2017. Hospital data with the ICD-10 codes X60-84 were extracted from the national administrative database (PMSI).ResultsThere were 53,583 hospitalizations for self-harm in France between January and August 2020. Compared to the same period in 2019, this represents an overall 8.5% decrease. This decrease started the first week of the confinement and the number of hospital…

COVID-19 and globalization
2020
The world is experiencing a major pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, the Coronavirus causing COVID-19. This disease first entered the human population in Hubei province, China, in mid-November 2019 and manifested in Wuhan, the largest metropolitan area of Hubei, when a cluster of patients were admitted to hospital with a ‘severe pneumonia of unknown cause’ in early December. Although humanity has survived previous pandemics by infectious agents, the present one is unprecedented in its capacity to take advantage of modern globalization allowing for massive transborder spread at a surprising speed. When writing these lines, the pandemic affects 181 countries and territories, with around 1,084,000…
