After reading an interesting article Wallace J, Goldsmith-Pinkham P, Schwartz JL. Excess Death Rates for Republican and Democratic Registered Voters in Florida and Ohio During the COVID-19 Pandemic. JAMA Intern Med. 2023;183(9):916–923. doi:10.1001/jamainternmed.2023.1154, I rethought my old results. Help me confirm/reject one of the hypotheses of my Citizen Science research. I am not a political scientist and I admit that my results may be the result of a methodological error.
What is the relationship between digital supply chains and global value chains during the Corona pandemic or crises in general?
To effectively managing infectious diseases, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, cooperation is needed from local, traditional, and religious leaders, healthcare professionals, community committees, networks, and vulnerable populations such as the elderly, women, students, and youth. Effective community engagement necessitates a comprehensive approach that involves collaboration across various dimensions, capacity building, decentralized decision-making, mobilization of financial resources, clear communication about health risks, and active engagement of all community members. During emergencies, it is advisable to adopt a whole community approach to maximize resources from all sectors, including charities, businesses, charitable organizations, as well as the general population. What is your opinion about the issue?

What were the various investment objectives financed by the additional off-budget money introduced into the economy since the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic?
What were the key priorities and effects of the application of public financial aid programs financed with additional extra-budgetary money introduced into the economy?
What were the key priorities and effects of using state financial aid programs under the so-called anti-crisis interventionist activities financed with additional extra-budgetary money introduced into the economy through covid programs and earmarked funds?
What were the different purposes of financing specific anti-crisis measures that were identified as priorities during the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic?
What anti-crisis economic processes were activated by the extra-budgetary introduction of a large amount of additional money into the economy, which resulted, among others, in a significant increase in inflation (from 2021) and an increase in the hidden debt of the state's public finance system (from 2020)? What are the economic effects if the extra money finances mainly an increase in consumption compared to an increase in investment?
He hereby proposes a discussion on the issue of extra-budgetary introduction of additional money into the economy as part of government covid programs and funds, financing specific goals recognized as priorities of anti-crisis measures and the level of debt of the state's public finance system. In the country where I operate under the so-called covid funds, well over PLN 200 billion of additional money was introduced into the economy off-budget, which did not have parity in the goods and services produced. This was no exception to the anti-crisis measures of economic state interventionism used during the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic. As part of these anti-crisis measures of economic state interventionism, various financial support programs were used in individual countries, differing in their functionality and impact on the macroeconomics of the national economy. In some countries, such as Poland, the effects were mainly pro-inflationary and generated mainly by an increase in consumption. In Poland, the simplest solutions of this kind have generated a particularly high level of core inflation and a high level of loss of purchasing power of money that citizens receive in salaries, even taking into account the wage increases for employed employees applied by entrepreneurs. The anti-crisis measures of state economic interventionism implemented in Poland during the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic in the formula of mainly government programs, the so-called Anti-Crisis Shields consisting mainly in the transfer of public financial aid to commercially operating business entities, under which the largest amount of money from the public finance system was allocated by the government to non-repayable subsidies transferred to companies and enterprises in the form of subsidies to employees' salaries and refinancing fixed costs of business activity. The purpose of this type of the simplest and most primitive anti-crisis solution was to limit the scale of employment reduction and the scale of bankruptcy of business entities caused by scientifically unjustified, large-scale lockdowns imposed on selected sectors of the economy and the so-called. national quarantines. Unfortunately, the real level of unemployment was still growing during the pandemic, despite the fact that the statistics of the Central Statistical Office did not show it, because a significant part of entrepreneurs, in order to receive the aforementioned non-repayable subsidies, reduced the employment of employees from e.g. full-time to part-time. In addition, this type of anti-crisis measures of economic state intervention, applied in the simplest and most primitive formula, did not motivate companies and enterprises to implement pro-development investments. However, in some other countries, the mechanism of the applied anti-crisis actions of state economic interventionism was much more investment and pro-development, and even pro-climate and pro-environmental. For example, in the most economically and technologically developed countries of Europe, such as in Germany, the anti-crisis measures of economic state interventionism used during the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic had to a large extent precisely this type of investment, pro-development, pro-climate and pro-environmental character . In Poland, this extra money was only unproductively consumed and generated a restoration of consumption to pre-coronavirus levels and an increase in inflation from 2021. In Germany, additional money was allocated to investments, in addition to green investments, i.e. the implementation of the key anti-crisis assumption, Keynesian state interventionism, taking into account the issue of achieving sustainable development goals, accelerating the processes of green transformation of the economy, i.e. pragmatic, pro-social and at the same time pro-climate and pro-environmental measures were applied approach in the field of anti-crisis and pro-development activities. In Poland, however, the additional, printed, anti-crisis money introduced into the economy as part of off-budget Covid funds was consumed, generated another wave of economic downturn resulting from growing inflation, and contributed to an increase in the real debt of the public finance system, although hidden from the above-mentioned prudential indicators. In addition, due to the government slowing down the process of green transformation of the energy sector in recent years, more than 3/4 of electricity and heat in Poland is still generated from dirty combustion power generation based on the combustion of hard coal and lignite, which resulted in a crisis that was particularly costly for Polish citizens energy in 2022. Therefore, the anti-crisis socio-economic policy programs applied in individual countries during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic were significantly diversified in many respects, including issues recognized by governments as priorities and key investment objectives financed with additional anti-crisis extra-budgetary money introduced into economy. In some countries, it was noticed that during the pandemic there is a possibility of accelerating the processes of pro-environmental, pro-climate, green transformation of the economy and this opportunity was taken advantage of. On the other hand, unfortunately, there are still countries, including EU Member States, such as Poland, in which the priorities of the anti-crisis, monetarist, historically large-scale economic state interventionism completely ignored the issue of emerging opportunities, including the financial possibilities of accelerating the processes pro-environmental, pro-climate, green transformation of the economy.
In view of the above, I am addressing the Honorable Community of scientists and researchers with the following question: What were the different purposes of financing specific anti-crisis measures that were identified as priorities during the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic? What anti-crisis economic processes were activated by the extra-budgetary introduction of a large amount of additional money into the economy, which resulted, among others, in a significant increase in inflation (from 2021) and an increase in the hidden debt of the state's public finance system (from 2020)? What are the economic effects if the extra money finances mainly an increase in consumption compared to an increase in investment? What were the key priorities and effects of applying public financial aid programs under the so-called anti-crisis interventionist activities financed with additional extra-budgetary money introduced into the economy through covid programs and earmarked funds? What were the various investment objectives financed by the additional off-budget money introduced into the economy since the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic?

According to the European Digital Strategy "The future of finance is digital: consumers and businesses are increasingly using digital financial services, innovative market participants are implementing new technologies, and existing business models are changing. Digital finance has helped citizens and businesses cope with the unprecedented situation created by the COVID19 pandemic. For example, online identity verification has enabled consumers to open accounts and use many financial services remotely. An increasing proportion of in-store payments are now digital and contactless, and online purchases (e-commerce) have grown significantly. FinTech solutions have helped expand and accelerate access to loans, including government-backed loans in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ensuring the safe and reliable operation of digital infrastructures has also become more important as the number of people using online financial services has increased and financial sector employees are themselves working remotely." Moreover, in the context of the European Green Agreement 2050 and the green transition, an essential role is played by innovative financial instruments supporting both the business environment and the final beneficiaries as individual consumers.
Therefore, from a personal point of view, digital finance, open finance, entrepreneurial finance and green finance are pillars of sustainable societal development at the local and global level.
The main variable of interest in the study is educational apathy with contributing factors that can include: mental health, socioeconomic status, school environment, academic performance, remote and in-person learning experiences, attendance, parental involvement, personal circumstances, home environment, and peer/social media influences. The participants will be high school students in South Dakota who have experienced education both pre and post-COVID-19 pandemic. The research aims to identify and analyze factors that lead to educational apathy to inform or enhance mitigation strategies and student learning and performance.
In a recent review article titled “N1-methyl-pseudouridine (m1Ψ): Beneficial or Harmful for Cancer?” published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, Rubio-Casillas, and colleagues discuss how mRNA vaccines may impact immunological pathways, potentially affecting cancer risk. Their research suggests that a high level of N1-methyl-pseudouridine (m1Ψ) in mRNA vaccines could promote cancer growth and metastasis in certain models. This raises concerns about the role of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in cancer development. The authors recommend future clinical trials to explore lower levels of m1Ψ modification to avoid immune suppression.
An earlier study by Professor Abdollah Jafarzadeh and team, published in the International Journal of Hematology-Oncology and Stem Cell Research, explores the potential link between SARS-CoV-2 infection and cancer. They found that cancer patients may have a higher susceptibility to COVID-19 due to their compromised immune systems from cancer treatments. Additionally, recovered COVID-19 patients may experience persistent immune abnormalities that could contribute to cancer development or recurrence.
In my opinion, these studies highlight the complex interactions between COVID-19 and cancer, suggesting a need for further research to understand and address potential risks associated with the pandemic. I would be grateful if you could provide your insightful opinions on this matter.

The covid pandemic has revealed an interesting fact about office work life. Some prefer WFH and few WFO while many have started opting Hybrid mode.
According to you which is better and why?
What will be the future of working style ?
Did the money that was printed and introduced into the economy during the Covid-19 pandemic and went into the capital markets, among other things, cause asset inflation in those markets, including the stock markets?
Did the significant amount of additional, printed, anti-crisis money that was injected into the economy during the Covid-19 pandemic and found its way into capital markets, among other things, pull stock market indexes upward and cause asset inflation in capital markets, including stock markets?
When there is a strong decline in the level of activity of economic entities, the rate of economic growth slows down, there is a risk of the emergence of a recession of the economy, a serious financial and/or economic crisis begins then the governments of individual countries, fearing a strong increase in unemployment, increase the scale of anti-crisis state interventionism, launch programs to activate the economic activity of companies and enterprises under mild fiscal policy and active fiscal policy. With the growing risk of deepening the scale of the financial and/or economic crisis
central banks lower interest rates with a view to lowering the cost of money lent by commercial banks in the form of bank loans and thus increasing liquidity in the banking sector and indirectly in the economy as a whole. When the World Health Organization declared a pandemic state of Covid-19 on March 11, 2020, there was panic in the capital markets involving panic selling of assets. The high level of uncertainty and investment risk prevailing in the capital markets, including those of the stock exchanges, caused companies and businesses to put their investment plans on hold and some had already begun to see declines in the level of sales of their product and service offerings. Subsequently, citizens' fears for their jobs quickly emerged and politicians, fearing the loss of public support, quickly began to launch processes that would result in the introduction of certain anti-crisis instruments. The sharp stock market crashes on the stock exchanges, which lasted for several days, as well as declines in industrial commodity prices, were halted when central banks strongly reduced the level of interest rates. During the Covid-19 pandemic, anti-crisis state interventionism was applied on a large scale to limit the scale of the development of the economic crisis. These anti-crisis interventionist measures were intended to prevent the economy from deepening into a recession in 2020 and the occurrence of stagflation in subsequent years. Stagflation is a particularly unfavorable type of deep economic crisis characterized by high inflation, sometimes hyperinflation and high unemployment. For capital markets, including the stock market, it is a particularly unfavorable type of economic crisis. Triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdowns introduced during the pandemic, the global economic crisis starting in the spring of 2020 could, in many countries, as it did during the 2008 global financial crisis, turn into another financial crisis, a debt crisis of the state's public finance system with the simultaneous occurrence of a recession of the national economy. If the anti-crisis, interventionist measures introduced at the time, the aid programs launched for businesses, public institutions, for citizens within the framework of the use of available instruments of fiscal policy and monetary policy did not work, a situation of a significant deepening of the then economic crisis could occur. Then this deepened economic crisis could have been more severe than the one that occurred in 2008 and could have been characterized by stagflation. In such a situation, also the interventionist actions of central banks, e.g. by continuing to lower interest rates, could no longer work effectively because there was already an excess of money in the markets, citizens and companies on bank deposits in commercial banks held record high amounts of money and inflation had already begun to rise in many countries as of 2021. After the anti-crisis reduction of interest rates by central banks, which in many countries took place between March and May 2020, the stock markets quickly returned to prosperity. When this kind of situation lasts for a prolonged period over many months, quarters or even sometimes several years then stock prices can rise to levels described as highly overvalued which can then result in a stock market crash at a time when most market participants do not expect it. In the meantime, stock prices may rise on a "buy the rumors, sell the facts" basis. It is not out of the question that this principle worked in 2023-2024, as most investors active in the stock markets expected the start of the announced interest rate cuts by central banks. Expectations were reasonable since inflation had fallen to levels close to inflation targets and central banks had not lowered interest rates, which had previously been anti-inflationarily raised after the Covid-19 pandemic.
I described the key issues of the central banking problem in my articles below:
Synergy of post-2008 Anti-Crisis Policy of the Mild Monetary Policy of the Federal Reserve Bank and the European Central Bank
Analysis of the effects of post-2008 anti-crisis mild monetary policy of the Federal Reserve Bank and the European Central Bank
A safe monetary central banking policy as a significant instrument for liquidity maintenance in the financial system
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
Did the significant amount of additional, printed, anti-crisis money that was injected into the economy during the Covid-19 pandemic and found its way into capital markets, among other things, pull stock market indexes upward and cause asset inflation in capital markets, including stock markets?
Did the money that was printed during the Covid-19 pandemic, which was introduced into the economy and found its way to the capital markets, among others, cause asset inflation in those markets, including the stock markets?

Various pandemic diseases have taught us various lessons from time to time, lastly, the spread of corona virus spread has shown how fickle human condition or survival is in face of sudden outbreak of dangerous diseases!
What are the human security implications of 'corona virus spread' around the world?
A possible measures to be taken in-order to reduce the impact of any pandemic across the global.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, was there an opportunity to accelerate the processes of green transformation of the economy, and was this opportunity unfortunately not taken advantage of in some countries?
During the Covid-19 pandemic, due to the decline in the economic activity of companies and enterprises in many sectors of the economy, there were opportunities to accelerate the processes of green transformation of the economy, to implement the principles of sustainable economic development, to direct the development of the economy towards the green circular economy model, to achieve the goals of sustainable development, to increase the scale of pro-environmental policies, pro-environmental, pro-climate policy and thus reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce the level of environmental pollution, and in the situation of continuation of these processes in the coming years, it is also to increase the scale of the possibility of implementing the scenario of slowing down the progressive process of global warming, to give humanity more time to prepare for the possible subsequent negative effects of progressive climate change, the developing climate crisis. Some countries have taken advantage of these opportunities, but unfortunately only in some countries.
These issues are presented in the article:

I’ve been reading about applications on the cognitive developmental delay in children born during the COVID pandemic. My child’s case is delayed speech in terms of expected milestones, as in forming 2 or more words-sentences, while the behaviour and motor skills are meeting expectations. Some of my colleagues face the similar description for theirnown offspring, yet had their kids “diagnosed“ as ”ADHD“, ”behavioural issues“, as well as ”Autism spectrum”. Fearing that we are facing the same “Hasty diagnosis outbreak” as in our attempts to “understand and resolve COVID” by March 2020, and before anyone offer giving my child Choloroquin, could you share some input?
For my final year dissertation, I am searching about the effect of the covid 19 pandemic on nurses' mental health.
Hi all, I have sort of a paradoxical scenario that applies to several species groups throughout Southeast Asia and is becoming more and more probable in the very near future. I need to start a discussion with conservation-minded people who realize the implications of conservation policy advocacy and adverse effects those policy changes may have:
One of the common buzz-words of the post-Covid era is "One Health". For those unfamiliar with the One Health approach, it is a holistic framework with the objective of identifying and achieving balance between the health of people, animals, and ecosystems. The One Health approach is a lens that recognizes humans, wildlife, and the environment are intrinsically connected, whereby beneficial or adverse effects on one component will directly affect the others.
When we apply One Health to wildlife trade policy, many groups are advocating that hotspot wildlife trade nations (like Vietnam and China), do not implement all-out bans on wildlife, but instead a select group of high-risk species that are prone to zoonotic disease transfer with humans, as a pandemic prevention measure... and here lay the issue....
I have just recently analyzed data for three government rescue centers in the north and south Vietnam for an IUCN project, and during the pandemic, we have seen an increase in "High-risk species X" (insert primates, viverrids, mustelids, etc.) rescues compared to the years prior. I spoke with some of the rescue team and managers and they said that people are voluntarily handing over captive High-risk species X to authorities more often now because they worry about disease, and more strict wildlife regulation enforcement since the pandemic began.
This has definitely put a strain on Rescue Center facilities in the country, especially those run by government employees who don't have regular access to experienced vets, and who often release animals that have no business being released back into the wild (obviously ill, over habituated to humans, non-native to the area, etc.)
I'm wondering what solutions we can recommend for this problem, because if conservationists continue to advocate for these "Common Sense One Health Policies" that elevate an all-out ban high-risk species, and start realistically enforcing bans on keeping High-risk Species X these voluntary hand-overs will explode and result in Rescue Centers filling over their capacity, and government officials rapidly releasing tons of High-risk Species X (whether native or not) back into the nearest protected area forests. The fallout from this could be devastating -- biological invasions, massive outbreaks of disease into wild populations, inbred depression from farmed animals decreasing fitness of wild populations, who knows what else...
And there is the paradox -- If we ban high-risk zoonotic disease species from wildlife trade, we protect them from that particular threat, and we prevent future pandemics through that particular human-wildlife interface; but in doing so, we risk damning a more significant population-level of wildlife, which could also lead to a pandemic through a different interface caused by the releases and inter-species spikes.
How do we address this problem before it happens -- and it will happen?
After pandemic we lost our tip provider and we tested few alternatives however we did not find any reliable substitute? Can you please share the ones you find suitable?
Thank you

This RG open question is linked to the previous about the dramatic evolution (partly unexplainable) of COVID19 in Northern Italy during wave 1.
The previous RG open question is reported below🔴 and resulted in a completely alternative model for the evolution🟨 of SARS-CoV/2 from pre-pandemic phase to pandemic phase.
In this specific RG question, the intention is to create an open discussion on the possible emergence of a violent outbreak of avian flu or similar in central Europe.
This concern arises from a qualitative model that links three events which in the past have always characterized the violent explosion of a bird flu or similar.
The model involves three steps.. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/367046404
---Coronavirus Epidemic/Pandemic;
---Conflict/War partly out of control;
---Pandemic avian flu or similar.
The ABSTRACT of the model can be consulted directly here.. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/46_fig2_367046404
This RG open question will serve to accumulate data both for and against this dire possibility.
Thanks to all the participants.

Covid-19 pandemic posses potent strength to invade all body cells and systems and worsening or disrupting body processes.
Has the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic caused a reduction or increase in remote online communication, business cooperation, co-operation, clustering, etc. between companies, businesses, between business entities, financial institutions, public institutions, local government, non-governmental organisations and other entities?
In the sectors of manufacturing companies, financial institutions, online technology companies, online shops, etc., which experienced strong sales increases during the pandemic, the scale of business cooperation between business entities may have increased significantly. In contrast, in service sectors subject to lockdowns, forced reduction or real temporary cessation of business activities, sectors in lockdown-induced crisis and recession, the scale of development of business cooperation between economic operators may have decreased significantly. During the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic, lockdowns imposed on selected service and commercial sectors of the economy were introduced in some countries, triggering an economic recession in mid-2020. In addition to this, international supply and procurement logistics chains were disrupted which further reduced the ability to produce certain types of goods and exacerbated the economic crisis. As a result, some operators decided to carry out recovery programmes and to increase the scale of their business using the Internet, including providing their services, offering products via the Internet, selling their product and service offerings online, improving e-logistics and remote Internet communication. Therefore, as a result of the downturn in the economy, the decline in economic activity, the scale of business cooperation in many businesses may have decreased. However, on the other hand, the scale of business and other cooperation conducted through remote Internet communication, the development of e-logistics, online payments and settlements, etc. may have increased.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
Has the pandemic of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (Covid-19) caused a decrease or increase in the scale of remote Internet communication, business cooperation, co-operation, clustering, etc. between companies, enterprises, between business entities, financial institutions, public institutions, local governments, non-governmental and other entities?

Nowadays elementary learners no longer adept to manual operations. They are very keen on just choosing from the letters (mutiple choice) without even trying to solve for the right answer. Also I have seen that after pandemic, learners do not know basic operations and manual computation.
How has the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the way English is taught as a foreign language?
What do you think about this topic? Especially since the pandemic. 2020 and beyond. Of course, influencers are not some kind of new phenomenon. They have been around for years.
However, scrolling through tiktok at the beginning of the pandemic (2020+), you could only see tiktok trends, dances... and now more and more influencers are promoting various products, strengthening the brand and business processes of various companies.
What do you think the future holds for it? What impact do they have and what impact will they have in the future regarding consumer behaviour? What is your opinion on this matter?
We perceive a different form of content production on Instagram of universities since the Covid-19 pandemic to the present day. Is it a legacy of strategic communication odopted by communicators from that period?
It would have been controversial to raise questions about the Vaccination-Vitiligo link while the Pandemic was raging. Now that the Pandemic is under control, we must seek the truth.
There are plenty of articles I could locate with Google Scholar reporting incidents that suggest there is a link. For instance,
Vitiligo is recognized as an auto-immune phenomenon. Vaccinations, in general, have been associated with auto-immune reactions.
There have been two new cases of vitiligo among my acquaintances in the last two years. In both cases, the person involved had taken Covid-19 vaccinations.
A major epidemiological study is called for. The study should also cover possible associations with gender, age, ethnicity, socio-economic factors, and nutritional factors so that we will understand conditions under which a causative phenomenon is identified.

Recent research about working life in the context of global unrest, new ideas of ‘the organization’, and the need for an inclusive recovery after the COVID19 pandemic, reveal that ‘business as usual’ does not longer cut it for human resource management practices. We therefore have an unprecedented opportunity to do what C.T. Kulik (2021, p. 216) argues in ‘We need a hero: HR and the ‘next normal’ workplace’ published in Human Resource Management Journal: It is essential to learn from the pandemic; in particular ‘to create better workplaces than the ones we left behind (ibid).’ In this regard, Kulik argues that ‘HR has a window of opportunity in which to develop psychologically safe workplaces, trust-based employment relationships and socially connected workforces’ (p. 216).
This special issue responds to this need by focusing on what’s happening in the labor market in the Nordic context. Nordic working life is characterized by high levels of trust, employee autonomy, and dialogue between parties in the labor market. At the same time, new forms of employment, digitalization, sector differences, sustainability issues, political turmoil and financial altercations affect these characteristics and make the future of the Nordic working life less predictable.

How can the international community best respond to the challenges of climate change, pandemics, and other global threats?
I plan to do research in this field, studying factors that explain the performance of insurance firms during the recent pandemic.
I need the code of matlab of SEIR model in paper"Stability analysis and numerical simulation of SEIR model for pandemic COVID-19 spread in Indonesia Suwardi Annas a , Muh. Isbar Pratama b , Muh. Rifandi b , Wahidah Sanusi b , Syafruddin Side b,∗"?
The world is currently facing numerous challenges such as climate change coupled with unpredictable rainfall patterns, population growth surpassing the available resources, increased social mobility, high poverty levels, widening gap of social and regional disparities and disease pandemics. Public policies that seek to address these challenges can only provide workable solutions if the decisions made by decision-makers are informed by well researched information.
Research publications are an indispensable way of communicating scientific findings to the world. It can inform policymaking that has the potential to transform lives for the better. However, most people view research as a gateway to achieving academic goals.
Researchers need to ensure their work has an impact on public policy by engaging policymakers at various stages during their research work, ensuring that their published work is simplified that even non academicians can understand and making the findings readily available in non-traditional research article types, such as newspapers and magazines
Furthermore as a researcher, you can improve the credibility to your findings by making your data readily available in various platforms e.g. in Figshare
Is it not lowering the quality of education? What has been the purpose of exam invigilation over the years before the COVID-19 pandemic? Will their degrees be authentic? Will they not be half-baked? Is it not an online copy-paste game? What do you think?
HRM practices have been hugely affected by the pandemic across the globe. Is there any possibility of a change in the practices in the expected POST-COVID-19 era? Are we going to resort to our old and/ traditional HRM practices? What is your take on this as a practitioner or academic? Kindly share your thoughts with us, thank you.
To date, the human cost of coronavirus (COVID-19) is more than 13 000000 infections, and more than 570000 death worldwide. The economic cost so far has been staggering. Many economies almost come to a halt. The impact on supply, demand, the financial market is affecting both larger and smaller firms. However, SMEs are at a disadvantage due to limited resources, existing obstacles in securing capital, and the span of time over which they can survive this pandemic compared to the larger firms.
How SMEs and new start-ups are going to handle this pandemic? Can they survive it or a great majority of them will go out of business? Should the government step in to help?
Since the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic, many governments and private organizations allocated large sums of money to fund projects dealing with various areas related to this virus. The vaccine is the most prominent area but detection, caring and monitoring of the patients revealed that the current medical equipment is not adequate and sufficient. Are these funding going to lead to invention or innovation? have you seen any report of innovation in medical technology in your community?
Economics of different countries is collapsed because of COVID-19. What you think? What will be the opportunities of funding at higher studies after this Pandemic? Please share your thoughts regarding this issue. Your valuable thoughts will be highly appreciated.

1. What are the specific legal implications of COVID-19 on the international sale of goods?
2. How have international trade laws and agreements adapted to the challenges posed by the pandemic?
3. What are the implications for contract formation, performance, and remedies in international sales contracts due to COVID-19?
Prevailing sustainable challenges for the indsutries, innovation and application of frugality in innovation is required. What extent diffusion workout among different scale of busienss, different age of entrepreneurs and among different nature of businesses?
To date, the SDGs have failed to reduce socioeconomic inequality within and between countries in the post-covid pandemic World. How can governments, civil society, and other stakeholders regain the momentum lost, to "leave no one behind?
Dear Researchers,
The COVID -19 pandemic caused by SARS CoV-2 is taking away many lives. Till now there is no approved vaccine to tackle this. Literatures and media are giving us information that it will take around 6 to 8 months more to get the vaccine. Besides, alternative medicines are getting attention to treat COVID-19. Will plant metabolites be the hope to get the therapeutics before other drugs or vaccines. How it is possible? Share your thinking, please.
In your country's higher education system, which do you think is more important for the effectiveness of using mobile technologies to improve learning outcomes: student readiness and motivation, or appropriate content and instructional design?
Why and how can these factors be optimized to enhance the potential benefits of mobile learning for students?
Did the Covid 19 pandemic put the theory of international relations in a crisis of interpretation, or did it put it in front of the criteria of justification? Was Concy Wright right in his words about the total theory in international relations?
Post pandemic, most of the teaching and research activities are happening in campus. This is likely to have positive impact on teaching and research activities. What is your assessment of teaching and research activities contribution post pandemic vis-a-vis during pandemic?
I recently read you thesis, The Concept of the Ascent of Prayer by Sixteenth-century
Jerusalem Kabbalist, R. Joseph ibn Zayyah. Question: Does Zayyah discuss in his Perush le-Tefilah the meaning of the six Mahs [Who are we? What is our Life, etc] in the prayer Ribbon Ha'Olamim located before the first Shema? Are you familiar with additional explanations of the six Mahs?
Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 pandemic libraries are closed and I cannot travel due to recent cardiac surgery and my age. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you.

What child social development support programmes, child psychological support programmes are being developed in relation to the increasing scale of psychological problems in children, which have significantly worsened since March 2020, i.e. since the lockdowns, national quarantines, universal e-learning, social distancing in public places, etc., introduced during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic?
At the beginning of May 2023, the World Health Organisation lifted the state of global epidemiological emergency associated with Covid-19. In Poland, the state of heightened epidemiological emergency associated with Covid-19 is not due to be lifted until the end of June 2023. This is likely to increase the scale of ongoing research into the various secondary effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, both the post-pandemic, post-vaccine health effects, then also the social and economic effects, including, for example, on the issue of rising inflation from 2021 generated by the introduction of a large amount of additional money into the economy during the Covid-19 pandemic, which was mainly intended to limit the scale of the increase in unemployment caused by the introduced lockdowns. In Poland, the PIS government is mainly responsible for the deterioration of children's mental state, which unreflectively and without applied research and public consultation introduced large-scale lockdowns imposed on selected sectors of the economy, national quarantines, universal e-learning, social distancing in public places, etc. ... and even a ban on entering forests during part of the period of wave 1 of the pandemic.
From mid-2022 onwards, more and more comparative studies began to appear, which compared internationally the question of the correlation between the rate of development of the pandemic, the number of deaths categorised as caused by the severe Covid-19 disease state and the occurrence of co-morbidities, usually in more than 90 per cent of cases, and the so-called 'anti-pandemic safety instruments' introduced to varying degrees in individual countries. The results of the study did not confirm the findings of the study, which was based on the results of the research carried out by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). The results of the research carried out did not support the thesis regarding the validity of the
of the lockdowns introduced during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic as an instrument to significantly reduce the level of mortality caused solely by the severe Covid-19 condition, exclusively, i.e. by subtracting the factor of co-morbidities. In some countries, the generating factors of specific comorbidities were key influential determinants shaping mortality levels. For example, in Poland, where, due to the government's neglect and deliberate slowing down and blocking of the development of renewable energy sources in recent years, more than three quarters of energy is still produced by the technologically backward dirty power industry based on burning hard coal and lignite, which generates the worst air quality in cities during heating periods compared to Europe and the world. This poor air quality, determined by high levels of particulate matter (PM 2.5, PM 10, etc.), is the source of premature deaths, estimated at around 50 000 people, i.e. deaths caused by respiratory and other diseases resulting from high levels of air pollution. Such diseases are examples of diseases coexisting with Covid-19, which were compounding factors in the level of mortality qualified as caused by these diseases in combination with Covid-19 during the pandemic. In the government-led pandemic risk management process, different structures were adopted to prioritise safety on the one hand for health and on the other hand also for socio-economic safety. Different solutions were adopted in the countries in terms of the applied anti-pandemic safety and anti-crisis instruments with regard to the economy. Consequently, the effects of these measures were also not the same. The economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19) and the applied anti-pandemic instruments also varied significantly between the various different industries and sectors of the economy.
These systemic anti-pandemic measures mainly benefited the technology sectors, companies operating on the Internet, businesses developing e-commerce, courier companies, state-owned companies receiving additional government contracts for the production of anti-pandemic assortments, e.g. hand disinfectant fluids, production of protective masks, etc. On the other hand, there were many more companies and enterprises, mainly operating in the service sectors, which were subject to lockdowns and suffered severe financial losses, some going out of business because of them, which in macroeconomic terms generated a deep recession of the economy during the 1st wave of the pandemic. However, as it later turned out, there were many more problems caused by such anti-pandemic socio-economic policies. Among these various secondary effects of the negative and particularly socially significant problems generated by the misguided antipandemic socio-economic policy, one stands out the increasing scale of psychological problems in children, which have significantly worsened since March 2020, i.e. since the lockdowns introduced during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, national quarantines, universal e-learning, social distancing in public places, etc., and have been exacerbated by the controversial pseudo-reforms applied to the education system over the past few years. In Poland, this problem is very serious. This is confirmed, inter alia, by the data on the growing scale of child suicides in the period from 2020 to 2022. Lockdowns, national quarantines, universal e-learning, social distancing in public places, etc., introduced and applied on a large scale during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic in Poland, have caused disorders in the social development of children and adolescents. In view of this, it is essential to create and develop programmes to support the social development of children, programmes of psychological assistance for children, which should prevent the growing scale of psychological problems in children.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the Honourable Community of scientists and researchers:
What programmes of support for children's social development, programmes of psychological assistance for children are being developed in connection with the increasing scale of problems of a psychological nature in children, which have significantly worsened since March 2020, i.e. since the lockdowns introduced during the coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19), national quarantines, universal e-learning, social distancing in public places, etc.?
What child development support programmes, child welfare programmes are being developed in relation to the increasing scale of mental health problems in children?

What is the likelihood of another pandemic in the future as estimated by the predictive analyses carried out, based on computerised, multi-faceted, big data mathematical modelling?
To what extent does climate change, progressive global warming, climate change across continents, increased environmental pollution and the impact of toxic waste pollution on human health, etc. increase the likelihood of another pandemic in the future as estimated by the predictive analyses carried out, based on computerised, multi-faceted, big data mathematical modelling?
On 4 May 2023, the World Health Organisation lifted the state of global epidemiological emergency associated with Covid-19. The WHO declared that Covid-19 no longer posed a public health, human health threat on a global scale. The WHO introduced the state on 30 January 2020, and after more than three years, the state was lifted. But the key point is that it was lifted as an epidemiological risk 'only' on a global scale and not as a direct recommendation for individual countries. Well, in individual countries, the levels of infection and mortality, although significantly lower than in 2020, are still occurring as part of local, successive, seasonal increases in infection with specific types of relentlessly emerging successive virus strains, and are significantly different in terms of the comparative analyses carried out. Globally, almost 7 million people have died according to Covid-19 death statistics and in more than 90 per cent of cases in combination with the presence of various co-morbidities. In Poland, these deaths were 120 000 with 5.5 million diagnosed infections and more than 250 000 excess deaths. In Poland, the Covid-19 epidemiological emergency is due to be lifted at the end of June 2023. In relation to this, is there still research being conducted by the WHO on the secondary effects of the Covid-19 pandemic? The 2018 Spanish flu was an avian flu that passed to humans. This was not the only such case in which a virus that causes disease in specific animal species started to infect and cause specific diseases in humans as well. It may have been similar with the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus, because before it started infecting humans it had previously developed in certain bat species, among others. It is likely that this virus acquired new features after the modification of its genome applied in laboratories, its effect was enhanced, it escaped from the laboratory and also started infecting humans. According to mathematical models of forecasting, which take into account population growth, increased population density in urban areas, low levels of sanitation in many parts of the world, low levels of availability of clean water in many economically poorer countries, the rate of creation of new strains of influenza viruses, coronaviruses, RSV, etc., which attack humans and certain animal species, the progressive process of global warming, climate change on different continents, increased environmental pollution and the impact of toxic waste pollution on human health, etc., it is likely that the virus will become more widespread in the future.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
To what extent does climate change, the progressive process of global warming, climate change across continents, the increase in environmental pollution and the impact of toxic waste pollution on human health, etc., increase the probability of the appearance of another pandemic in the future as estimated by the predictive analyses carried out based on computerised, multifaceted, data-intensive mathematical modelling?
What is the likelihood of another future pandemic estimated from ongoing predictive analytical work based on computerised multi-faceted mathematical modelling with big data?
What is the likelihood of another pandemic occurring in the future?
