Please summerize the given abstract to a title Sport in Times of Turmoil: Political Uses of Sport in Global Crises As the COVID-19 virus spread across the globe, sport leagues and mega-events succumbed to the pandemic, shuttering even the most high-profile activities, including the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. As the global crisis deepened and competitions returned in modified formats, sport’s political uses – viewed widely – became increasingly apparent. Considered along a harder-to-softer continuum, six political uses of sport are laid bare in times of crises: resource redeployment to supplement public infrastructure needs;economic stability and stimulus;leveraged status for public good;distraction from human toil;symbol of collective resolve;and the opportunity for state re-invention. However, each of these six uses is contested and tensive. As such, the political uses of sport in a global crisis reveal both positive and negative dimensions of sport and society-at-large. As such, I present a REI-BCI (Resources-Engagement-Identity/Bread-Circus-Image) continuum to highlight the dynamic political uses of sport in times of turmoil.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Citizenship and neoliberalism: pandemic horror in Latin America: Journal of Media & Cultural Studies Latin America has suffered disproportionately during the COVID-19 pandemic. The human impact has been chaotically and catastrophically evident across the three countries we examine here: Colombia, Chile, and México. Those nations were already creaking under the effect of generations of neoliberal ideology: their intellectual, political, and ruling-class fractions had long-embraced its core project of redistributing income upwards and privatizing public goods, notably healthcare. In response to that raging inequality, uprisings had occurred through new citizen movements in 2019. They intensified in 2020 and 2021, as citizenship was enacted in powerful ways.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title A network of empirical ethics teams embedded in research programmes across multiple sites: opportunities and challenges in contributing to COVID-19 research and responses (preprint)/ en Covid-19 continues to teach the global community important lessons about preparedness for research and effective action to respond to emerging health threats. We share the COVID-19 experiences of a pre-existing cross-site ethics network-the Global Health Bioethics Network-which brings together researchers and practitioners from Africa, Europe, and South east Asia. We describe the network and its members and activities, and the work-related opportunities and challenges we faced over a one-year period during the pandemic. We highlight the value of having strong and long-term empirical ethics networks embedded across diverse research institutions to be able to: 1) identify and share relevant ethics challenges and research questions and ways of ’doing research’;2) work with key stakeholders to identify appropriate ways to contribute to the emerging health issue response – e.g. through ethics oversight, community engagement, and advisory roles at different levels;and 3) learn from each other and from diverse contexts to advocate for positive change at multiple levels. It is our view that being both embedded and long term offers particular opportunities in terms of deep institutional and contextual knowledge and relationships with and access to a wide range of stakeholders in place. Being networked offers opportunities to draw upon a wide range of expertise and perspectives operating at multiple levels, and to bring together internal and external perspectives (i.e. different positionalities). Long term funding means that the people and resources are in place and ready to respond in a timely way. However, many tensions and challenges remain, including difficulties in negotiating power and politics regarding roles that researchers and research institutions play in an emergency, and the position of empirical ethics activities in programmes of research more specifically. We discuss some of these tensions and challenges, and consider the implications for our own and similar networks in future.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Who is watching? Refugee protection during a pandemic - responses from Uganda and South Africa Both Uganda and South Africa were quick to respond to the global pandemic – Uganda for example imposing quarantine on foreign travellers after only a handful of cases before shutting off all international flights, and South Africa imposing one of the first lockdowns on the continent. Reflecting on the first 6 months of the pandemic responses in terms of refugee protection, the two countries have taken diverging pathways. South Africa used the pandemic to start building a border fence on the border with Zimbabwe, initially curtailed all foreign shop owners from opening under lockdown and excluded asylum seekers from emergency relief grants. In contrast, Uganda opened its borders to refugees from the DRC in June, when border closures were still the global norm. Whilst both responses are not unusual in light of their standard governance approaches, they highlight the own self-image the countries espouse – with Uganda positioning itself as the world’s premier refugee protector at a time when it is desperately in need of more funds and South Africa looking to politically capitalize internally from reiterating a division between migrant communities as a threat to poor and disenfranchised South Africans. Even during a pandemic, the practice of refugee protection does not happen in a political vacuum. This paper is based on over 50 in-person and digital interviews conducted in Uganda and South Africa in 2020, as well as nine focus groups with refugee and host communities.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title The Shock Doctrine Comes to Canada: Laurentian University’s Insolvency Claim and the Neoliberal Tide During the depths of COVID-19, Laurentian University, a small Canadian postsecondary institution located in the mid-sized city of Sudbury Canada, declared that it was insolvent and was legally allowed to terminate one-third of its faculty and cut almost one-half of its academic programmes. This historically unprecedented attack on a Canadian public institution utilized a Federal corporate court process, the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA), a piece of legislation akin to the US Chapter 11 process. The result of the still-ongoing process saw the university Administration and Board of Governors working against the interests of the community, targeting the arts, Indigenous, Francophone and working-class communities. This article poses the question ‘to whom do universities belong, and at what point does a publicly funded university stop being a collective “social good” – responsible to the society that spawned it – and start being a stand-alone organization that serves private interests?’

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Foreshadowing Change? Theories, Policies, and COVID-19 Abstract: The COVID-19 crisis determined a forceful change in European policy. Despite the theoretical dominance of the mainstream, metrics other than prices were used to decide how to deal with issues such as provisioning, subsidies, and the financial measures they required. This change, which involved both policy makers and the general public, undermined the dominant view that price-centered coordination of the economy constrains socially relevant decisions. It suggests that neoliberal dominance is not robust either in terms of policy priorities or in the way it affects people’s behavior. It also suggests that what a proper economic policy requires is an economic theory that does not merely describe the institutional status quo but foresees its possible change. © 2021, Journal of Economic Issues / Association for Evolutionary Economics.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Social research in digital environments in COVID-19 times: theoretical and methodological notes. The COVID-19 pandemic and the sanitary measures of social distance brought impasses to Social Research and its future. Research in digital environments was already booming, but now that face-to-face activities are temporarily suspended, it becomes an alternative to enable the continuity of studies. Understanding it better is an epistemological and methodological need for all researchers. Thus, the objective of this essay is to propose some theoretical and methodological considerations on qualitative research in the different digital environments formed by the Internet 2.0. We point out some introductory aspects and tensions considered strategic for those who are going to start their work in social networks supported by the Internet. We organized the article based on the following topics: (1) digital sociality; (2) the "digital environment" and the blurring of boundaries between real-virtual; (3) the redefinition of the meaning of "field" in the digital environment; (4) the different cultural uses of digital platforms; (5) platforms as producers of discursive genres; (6) the production and extraction of collections. The essay seeks to demonstrate that research in digital environments reveals an exponential field of possibilities, whether to explore the forms that this sociality assumes in our daily lives, or to modulate our (inter)subjectivities, as it allows the production of identity narratives and performances, associations for different purposes, among many other possibilities. However, it demands an understanding of social action based on the synergy of the socio-technical-cultural contexts that structure it.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Defending Density We have an aversion to density in America. Density is a continual trope in this country, blamed for all of the ills of urban life, from crime and racial unrest in the middle of the 20th century to public health concerns today. In the early stages of the COVID pandemic density was the culprit, even though we’ve subsequently seen outbreaks in rural areas and sprawling cities across the United States. This paper will look into the root of America’s problems with density and argue that density is not the problem but the solution to the challenges of today’s and tomorrow’s cities. As we deplete the resources of the planet, density is our most direct pathway to recover some balance with nature. Dense living is more efficient, less carbon intensive and more environmentally sustainable. As geospatial differentiations matter less due to advances in communication technology, it's the density of people and ideas that will continue to fuel innovation. Finally, in a world that is increasingly dominated by pluralism, denser living promotes openness, tolerance and diversity.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Race, Power, and COVID-19: A Call for Advocacy within Bioethics Events in 2020 have sparked a reimagination of how both individuals and institutions should consider race, power, health, and marginalization in society. In a response to these developments, we examine the current and past limitations of the ways in which bioethicists have considered race and, more generally, discourses of marginalization. We argue that the foundational principle of justice necessitates that bioethics, as an institution, maintain an active voice against systemic injustice. To carry out this charge, bioethics as a field should promote alternative narratives-"counter storytelling"-to the mainstream voices that have traditionally been heard and accepted, largely without opposition. Additionally, we engage with both Post-Colonial and Critical Race Theory, which we believe are important tools for bioethics in pursuit of equity. Ultimately, we advocate for a proactive form of bioethics that actively resists and denounces injustice and which considers a much wider variety of voices about justice than bioethics has historically considered.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title The Collection is Dead;Long Live the Collective: Rethinking the Role of Content and Collections in the Museum’s Purpose Post-pandemic Originally titled, “From Treasure House to Production House: Community-driven storytelling and the ‘born digital’ collection in the museum as distributed network,” this paper began as an attempt to share the storytelling and “digital first” strategies being developed at the Peale in Baltimore, Maryland. Inspired by the “new citizenship” approach to organizational participation developed in the UK [1] and leading work in the cultural sector presented at the international MuseWeb conferences among others, the Peale is an experiment in dismantling museum hierarchies, from the primacy of the object to the curatorial process, with the aim of transforming the 21st century museum from treasure house into a production house of culture. After the RISE-IMET conference at which this paper was to be presented was postponed due to the pandemic, this thesis had to be expanded to take into account the impact of 2020’s quarantines on museums. The closure of physical institutions globally, and the corresponding pivot to online content and audiences, compels us to redefine “collection” in the post-pandemic museum as more than content, be it digital or analog, and instead put the expanded concept of “collective,” including content and its connections with creators and audiences – i.e. stories – at the heart of the museum’s purpose and economy. © 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title ‘The Birth of the Virtual Choir’: Exploring the multimodal realisation of the Covid-19 liminal space in a YouTube virtual choir performance As countries around the world went into lockdown in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, people looked for virtual ways of reducing social isolation. Amongst these online interactions, a relatively new phenomenon ? the virtual choir ? grew in popularity. As part of a wider study on virtual choirs, this study analyses the multimodal performance of, and textual audience responses to, ?The Birth of the Virtual Choir?, posted on YouTube in June 2020. The study uses a combination of Mediated Discourse Analysis (Norris and Jones, 2005) and the theoretical concept of liminality (Turner, 1974;van Gennep, 1960) as a means of understanding how one performance in this new genre was used to reflect personal crises during the pandemic and enforced lockdowns. It argues that the song mirrors a process of separation, transition and reaggregation in both time and space, consistent with rites of passages and liminal experiences, whereby social actors are isolated, use creative ways to find order to the chaos, then reintegrate into society as changed subjects. It also demonstrates how online creativity and illusion highlighted one choir?s experience on life and lockdowns during the Covid-19 pandemic, many of which appeared to ring true for their wider audience and other virtual choirs being born into the Covid era.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Polyphony of Russian Church: State Factor, Public Demand, and Challenge of Pandemic The widespread idea about the Russian Orthodox Church as an institution incapable of development needs to be substantially modified The conservatism inherent in the Church should not be confused with reactionism, which is not its immanent attribute Moreover, it is possible to talk about the internal polyphony of the Church, which incorporates a fairly wide range of views Historically, the Russian Orthodox Church has been distinguished by an extremely high degree of adaptability, the ability to integrate different traditions even in such conservative areas as worship, but in the Soviet years it was "encapsulated" and largely turned into a hermetic structure with the focus on preserving tradition The current situation in the Russian Orthodox community is characterized by a huge gap between the number of "nominal" and "practising" believers At the same time, the low and diffuse mass religiosity is compensated and, so to say, replaced by the increased activity of the practising minority and priests But the active minority in the Russian Orthodox Church is heterogeneous and is split into several groups, the most important of which are conservatives and pragmatists The internal polyphony of the Russian Orthodox Church was clearly visible during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic The situation touched upon the church-state relations, as well as the question of the role of confessions in modern society, rather than boiling down to the usual confrontation between liberals and conservatives The pandemic not only exacerbated the contradictions between pragmatists and conservatives, but also led to the serious disagreements between the state and the Church that looked up to its influential conservatives in the decision-making process However, since the Church as an institution is not ready to oppose state power, the prevailing model of relations between them is likely to remain, although it may become less idyllic

Please summerize the given abstract to a title 'We need someone to deliver our voices': reflections from conducting remote qualitative research in Syria The need to generate evidence in spaces considered insecure and inhabited by potentially extremely vulnerable individuals (e g conflict-affected people who may not have means to move) has led researchers to study conflict-affected settings remotely Increased attention to remote research approaches from social scientists, due to COVID-19-related travel restrictions, is sparking interest on appropriate methods and tools Drawing on several years' experience of remotely conducting qualitative research in Syria, we discuss challenges and approaches to conducting more inclusive, participatory, and meaningful research from a distance The logistics, ethics, and politics of conducting research remotely are symptomatic of broader challenges in relation to the decolonisation of global and humanitarian health research Key to the success of remote approaches is the quality of the relationships researchers need to be able to develop with study participants without face-to-face interactions and with limited engagement 'in the field' Particularly given overdue efforts to decolonise research institutions and methods, lead researchers should have a meaningful connection with the area in which they are conducting research This is critical both to reduce chances that it will be extractive and exploitative and additionally for the quality of interpretation

Please summerize the given abstract to a title COVID-19 AND THE U.S. HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY: TOWARDS A "CRITICAL HEALTH CRIMINOLOGY" WITHIN STATE CRIME STUDIES The core claim of this article is that critical criminology offers us an especially potent framework for interpreting state-corporate crime with the health care industry in the United States as one illustrative case, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 crisis The unprecedented, surreal pandemic crisis that surfaced in 2020 brought into especially sharp relief many of the core claims of critical criminology in relation to domination, inequality and injustice within a contemporary capitalist political economy, while it also raised the need to broaden critical criminology studies to incorporate the specificities of the health care systems and the pharmaceutical industry Following this challenge, the article proposes to foster a "critical health criminology" within state-corporate crime research To do so, this article explores the "big picture" in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis and reveals how it can be understood as a criminological phenomenon Such a project incorporates the identification of some conceptual issues requiring attention in relation to advancing an enriched form of criminological analysis in these times, and toward building a foundation for a more fully realized twenty-first century criminology

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Britain First: A Journey into Emotive Rhetoric English mainstream newspaper coverage was analysed, ahead of the 2016 EU membership referendum in Britain, focusing on the term EU migrant as a trope for Euroscepticism. In the run-up to the June 8, 2017 British general election, Facebook was used to filter mainstream newspaper articles mentioning Europe and Brexit. The UK’s Supreme Court ruled that the proroguing of Parliament in the Autumn of 2019, by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, was illegal. Closure had prevented further scrutiny of the Brexit process. Johnson was forced to reconvene Parliament and answer his critics on all sides. Johnson’s language that day was deemed at best divisive and at worst hate speech. For this reason, this crucial nexus in the Eurosceptic narrative of the UK was selected.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title A fair allocation approach to the ethics of scarce resources in the context of a pandemic: The need to prioritize the worst‐off in the Philippines Using a fair allocation approach, this paper identifies and examines important concerns arising from the Philippines’ COVID‐19 response while focusing on difficulties encountered by various sectors in gaining fair access to needed societal resources. The effectiveness of different response measures is anchored on addressing inequities that have permeated Philippine society for a long time. Since most measures that are in place as part of the COVID‐19 response are meant to be temporary, these are unable to resolve the inequities that have led to the magnitude of morbidity and mortality associated with the pandemic. These cannot improve the country’s readiness to deal with pandemics and other emergencies in the future. Transition to a new normal recognizes the possibility that other infectious diseases could come and endanger our health security. Our pandemic experiences are proving that having an egalitarian society will serve the interests not only of disadvantaged sectors but also of everybody else, including the privileged. Response measures should thus take the opportunity to promote equity by giving importance to the concerns of the underprivileged and vulnerable while giving preference to initiatives that can be sustained beyond the period of the current pandemic.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title The City Under COVID-19: Podcasting As Digital Methodology This critical commentary reflects on a rapidly mobilised international podcast project, in which 25 urban scholars from around the world provided audio recordings about their cities during COVID-19. New digital tools are increasing the speeds, formats and breadth of the research and communication mediums available to researchers. Voice recorders on mobile phones and digital audio editing on laptops allows researchers to collaborate in new ways, and this podcast project pushed at the boundaries of what a research method and community might be. Many of those who provided short audio 'reports from the field' recorded on their mobile phones were struggling to make sense of their experience in their city during COVID-19. The substantive sections of this commentary discuss the digital methodology opportunities that podcasting affords geographical scholarship. In this case the methodology includes the curated production of the podcast and critical reflection on the podcast process through collaborative writing. Then putting this methodology into action some limited reflections on cities under COVID-19 lockdown and social distancing initiatives around the world are provided to demonstrate the utility and limitations of this method.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title 'Essential and undervalued: health disparities of African American women in the COVID-19 era' OBJECTIVES: Transforming the landscape of American healthcare, COVID-19 has had unprecedented effects on the African American community. African Americans are more likely to contract COVID-19, develop complications and die from the virus. Amid the growing research on COVID-19, this manuscript pays particular attention to African American women who are disproportionately represented as 'essential' or frontline workers, yet often lack job security and risk contagion. Faced with limited testing centers, they are also at risk of having their symptoms minimized or dismissed by medical practitioners even when they show visible symptoms of COVID-19. METHODS: Using the theoretical framework of intersectionality developed by scholars like Kimberlé Crenshaw and Patricia Hill Collins, this manuscript examines the impact of COVID-19 on African American women. It emphasizes that African American women are vulnerable to COVID-19 due to the twin legacies of racism and sexism. Intersectionality theory espouses that racism and sexism often combine with social determinants of health such as economic stability and socio-environmental factors to shape health outcomes. Within the context of COVID-19, this work underscores that African American women are susceptible to the virus due to their higher likelihood of co-morbidities like obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure. They are also likely to face eviction and homelessness if they are laid off or furloughed as a result of the pandemic. CONCLUSION: This manuscript asserts that decades of racism and discrimination have isolated communities of color and made them particularly vulnerable to the COVID-19 virus. As many African American women deal with unemployment or continue to work as 'essential workers', the intersectionality framework sheds light on the continued legacies of racism and sexism. It asserts that targeted policy interventions are needed to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 and lessen the devastating impact(s) it has had on African American communities.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Long Covid - The illness narratives. Callard and Perego depict long Covid as the first illness to be defined by patients who came together on social media. Responding to their call to address why patients were so effective in making long Covid visible and igniting action to improve its care, we use narrative inquiry - a field of research that investigates the place and power of stories and storytelling. We analyse a large dataset of narrative interviews and focus groups with 114 people with long Covid (45 of whom were healthcare professionals) from the United Kingdom, drawing on socio-narratology (Frank), therapeutic emplotment (Mattingly) and polyphonia (Bakhtin). We describe how storytelling devices including chronology, metaphor, characterisation, suspense and imagination were used to create persuasive accounts of a strange and frightening new condition that was beset with setbacks and overlooked or dismissed by health professionals. The most unique feature of long Covid narratives (in most but not all cases) was the absence, for various pandemic-related reasons, of a professional witness to them. Instead of sharing their narratives in therapeutic dialogue with their own clinician, people struggled with a fragmented inner monologue before finding an empathetic audience and other resonant narratives in the online community. Individually, the stories seemed to make little sense. Collectively, they provided a rich description of the diverse manifestations of a grave new illness, a shared account of rejection by the healthcare system, and a powerful call for action to fix the broken story. Evolving from individual narrative postings to collective narrative drama, long Covid communities challenged the prevailing model of Covid-19 as a short-lived respiratory illness which invariably delivers a classic triad of symptoms; undertook and published peer-reviewed research to substantiate its diverse and protracted manifestations; and gained positions as experts by experience on guideline development groups and policy taskforces.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Dying for the Economy: Disposable People and Economies of Death in the Global North This essay explores the idea of dying for the economy that has been a proposition supported by President Trump and the Republican Party in discussions about how to reopen the economy in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and massive lockdowns. While to most of us this seems like crazy talk, I argue that the loss of some peoples' lives in order to sustain a buoyant economy is a rationale acceptable to many in the corporate sector as well as their pro-business political partners. I first explore theoretical discussions about biopolitics, necropolitics, and the long historical relationship between capitalism and death. I then point to an emerging literature on "economies of death" and apply that to the opioid epidemic in the United States as an illustrative case of a "necroeconomy". I reflect upon parallels between the opioid epidemic and the COVID-19 pandemic, turning to current debate in the United States about reopening the economy versus the associated public health risks of further lives being lost. The rhetoric of these debates reflects widespread economic values that prioritize some lives over others, making explicit who is ultimately "killable" in the quest to return to a flourishing and efficient economy.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Pervasive irregular migration and the vulnerabilities of irregular female migrants at Plumtree border post in Zimbabwe BACKGROUND: Migration is a common and visible feature of global mobility where the driving factors would be the search for better livelihood opportunities. Due to economic hardships in Zimbabwe, women have also been noted to migrate to neighbouring countries in search of opportunities to look after their left-behind families. However, the COVID-19 restrictions and other state regulations have become facilitators of illicit migration as irregular migrants (including women) devise more complex means to traverse borders and gain access. This paper assesses the vulnerabilities and the lived realities of female irregular migrants between Zimbabwe and Botswana during the clandestine migration journeys. METHODS: A qualitative descriptive survey that targeted nineteen (19) participants was conducted using semi-structured and unstructured interviews. The participants included fifteen (15) Female irregular migrants and four (4) Key Informants who worked at Plumtree Border Post. The interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, coded and thematically analysed. RESULTS: Four vulnerabilities were reported/experienced by the participants: violence and robbery, Rape and sexual harassment, Psycho-emotional harassment, and health vulnerabilities in detention. The participants reported that these vulnerabilities are experienced at different levels of the migration process and deportation. CONCLUSIONS: Female migrants are generally at risk as they are bound to be taken advantage of at different levels during migration and deportation. Therefore, there is a need to relook at the policies implemented at the ports and ensure women are subjected to humane treatment even during the deportation process.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title How Architecture Fails in Conditions of Crisis: a Discussion on the Value of Interior Design over the COVID-19 Outbreak Architecture, that was invented to offer shelter and security from critical natural conditions, is nowadays required to come for the rescue But it fails Fight-or-flight is the reaction to danger for survival in the jungle Humans are part of this Although some humans are able to remain indoors in critical life-threatening conditions, some others rush towards a new—seemingly natural—horizon, i e , a village or an island Is it that architecture in cities fails in offering the adequate natural environmental conditions in order to keep its population indoors or might this behavior be attributed to a more complicated archetypical reason? The best way out of a crisis like COVID-19 is through dwelling indoors Humans have lived longer in nature than indoors over the timespan of their existence and this might be one of the reasons why some members of society flee towards it in conditions of crisis However, is this truly the case?

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Lessons of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict for Public Health: The Case of the COVID-19 Vaccination Gap In early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic revealed a faceless, non-adversarial threat that endangered Israelis and Palestinians with the same ferocity. However, the capacities of the health systems to address it were not equal, with Israel more equipped for the outbreak with infrastructure, resources, manpower and later, vaccines. The pandemic demonstrated the life-saving benefits of cooperation and the self-defeating harms brought by non-cooperation. These trends are explored here by an international team of public health and environmental scholars, including those from different sides of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. This article explores the importance of recognizing the Israeli and Palestinian jurisdictions as a single epidemiological unit, and illustrates how doing so is a pragmatic positioning that can serve self-interest. We demonstrate how despite political shocks precipitating non-cooperation, there has been a recurrent tendency towards limited cooperation. The paper concludes with lessons over the need for reframing public health as a potential bridge, the need for structural changes creating sustainable platforms for accelerated transboundary cooperation to enable the steady management of current and future public and environmental health crises regardless of dynamic political crises, and the importance of civil society and international organizations in forging collaboration in advance of governmental engagement.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Digital Responses of UK Museum Exhibitions to the COVID‐19 Crisis, March – June 2020 The impact of the COVID‐19 Crisis on museums and galleries has been paramount, with the sector taking on long‐term recovery plans. This paper examines this crisis in the context of temporary exhibition programmes of UK museums, studying online content for 21 museums with exhibitions due to open between March and June 2020. Analysis was conducted, noting how COVID was considered, how content was presented, and discussing the emerging themes of access, embodiment, and human connection. In considering these results in the context of wider digital heritage literature, several questions are raised in terms of how digital content is conceptualised, presented, and valued. At a crucial turning point in the sector, these aspects will need to be considered as museums and galleries continue to adapt in light of a post‐COVID world where practices, both digital and physical, will undoubtedly shift.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title In its Nature—How Stealth Authoritarianism Keeps Stealing along during the Pandemic, and How Can it be Stopped? This essay illustrates, through certain measures taken by the Hungarian government during the COVID19-epidemic, how the very nature of illiberal regimes determines their ways of dealing with national crises How at times that call for unity, they opt for increasing polarization;how instead of transparency, they choose to restrict freedom of expression;and how they use the crisis to further weaken checks and balances instead of reinforcing public trust in the government by strengthening oversight of the executive The essay also argues that despite the undeniable difficulties such situations pose to human rights work, they also present a unique opportunity to—more effectively than before—re-explain and re-present human rights as a matter of importance to all members of society—majority and minority alike The experience that in crisis situations belonging to the mainstream may not protect one from becoming vulnerable and exposed to abuses by those in power, may enable rule of law and human rights advocates to better convey the message that the accountability of the executive branch is crucial to a well-functioning democracy, while an illiberal regime does not provide sufficient protection against such instances of government overreach © The Author(s) 2020 Published by Oxford University Press All rights reserved

Please summerize the given abstract to a title The uneven distribution of futurity: Slow emergencies and the event of COVID‐19 The ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic strains conventional temporal imaginaries through which emergencies are typically understood and governed. Rather than a transparent and linear temporality, a smooth transition across the series event/disruption–response–post‐event recovery, the pandemic moves in fits and starts, blurring the boundary between normalcy and emergency. This distended temporality brings into sharp relief other slow emergencies such as racism, poverty, biodiversity loss, and climate change, which inflect how the pandemic is known and governed as an emergency. In this article, we reflect on COVID‐19 responses in two settler colonial societies—Australia and the United States—to consider how distinct styles of pandemic responses in each context resonate and dissonate across the racially uneven distribution of futurity that structures liberal order. In each case, the event of COVID‐19 has indeed opened a window that reveals multiple slow emergencies; yet in these and other responses this revelation is not leading to meaningful changes to address underlying forms of structural violence. In Australia and the United States, we see how specific slow emergencies—human‐induced climate change and anti‐Black violence in White supremacist societies, respectively—become intensified as liberal order recalibrates itself in response to the event of COVID‐19.

This has particularly been the case for Pacific peoples living in diaspora, with COVID-19 preventing travel home and social distancing and forced lockdowns restricting the ability to gather. This has also impacted vā, the Pacific concept of ‘relational space’ critical to connectivity and maintaining relationships. This paper explains the creation of virtual faikava;online meeting environments in which Pacific kava users meet, maintain vā, connect with those at home and in the wider diasporic community and learn, while consuming their traditional beverage kava. © 2021, Wilf Malcolm Institute of Educational Research.

This project posits that society is now operating and evolving in the context of postnormal times and seeks to test the notion of polylogues as a way to navigate uncertainty. Here, the authors discuss the manner in which the COVID19 pandemic impacted their research agenda, present some preliminary findings and highlight opportunities to more deeply explore the manner with which postnormal times impacts traditional notions of subjectivity and community. © 2021 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Divergences from the separation of powers in times of emergency with special emphasis to the Republic of North Macedonia The worldwide pandemic caused by the coronavirus has disturbed the pure conception of the separation of powers. States forced by the newly established situation, declared a state of emergency, thus the Republic of North Macedonia was not an exception. This paper will focus on the divergences from the separation of powers in the countries from the Western Balkans and across Europe whose departure in the well-established system of checks and balances intrigued the media. The case of North Macedonia was maybe the most interesting because in time of declaring the state of emergency by the President of the Republic, the legislative branch of power - the Assembly was dissolute which meant that the already difficult situation became more complicated to establish a balance between the branches of power to function in protecting the general health of the citizens and the fundamental human rights and freedoms.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title The Impact of the Church–State Model for an Effective Guarantee of Religious Freedom: A Study of the Peruvian Experience during the COVID-19 Pandemic During the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments established important restrictions on religious freedom. Due to a restrictive interpretation of the right to religious freedom, religion was placed in the category of “non-essential activity” and was, therefore, unprotected. Within this framework, this paper tries to offer a reflection on the relevance of the dual nature of religious freedom as an individual and collective right, since the current crisis has made it clear that the individual dimension of religious freedom is vulnerable when the legal model does not offer an adequate institutional guarantee to the collective dimension of religious freedom.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title The Data Assembly Synthesis Report and Responsible Re-Use Framework The Data Assembly is an initiative from The GovLab supported by the Henry Luce Foundation to solicit diverse, actionable public input on data re-use for crisis response in the United States. The initiative began in the summer of 2020 with an initial focus on the response to the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City. The GovLab, New York Public Library, and Brooklyn Public Library co-hosted remote deliberations with three “mini-publics” featuring data holders and policymakers, representatives of civic rights and advocacy organizations, and New Yorkers from across the five boroughs. These deliberations yielded five key takeaways regarding the responsible re-use of data for COVID-19: 1. match urgency with accountability;2. support and expand data literacy;3. center equity;4. engage legitimate, local actors;5. develop positions for responsible data re-use.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Digital inclusion across the Americas and the caribbean This research brings together scholarship across the Americas and Caribbean to examine digital inclusion initiatives in the following countries: Uruguay, Chile, Peru, Brazil, Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica, the United States, and Canada. Across the cases, several themes emerge that offer important indicators for future digital inclusion initiatives. First, public policy can effectively reduce access gaps when it addresses the trifecta of network, device, and skill provision. Second, this triple-crown of public policy is highly effective for longitudinal effect when implemented early via educational institutions. Third, ruralurban digital inequality is resistant to change such that rural populations benefit less from policy initiatives than their urban counterparts. Fourth, digital inclusion in rural areas and among marginalized populations is most effective when cocreated with communities to ensure community investment, participation, and control. Fifth, stay-at-home orders during the COVID-19 pandemic are rapidly increasing our dependence on digital technologies, making digital inclusion more important than ever for education and rural communities. We therefore close the article with discussion of how the COVID-19 pandemic is amplifying digital disadvantage and exclusion across the Americas, the Caribbean, and the globe.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Africa and the Covid-19 Information Framing Crisis Africa faces a double Covid-19 crisis. At once it is a crisis of the pandemic, at another an information framing crisis. This article argues that public health messaging about the pandemic is complicated by a competing mix of framings by a number of actors including the state, the Church, civil society and the public, all fighting for legitimacy. The article explores some of these divergences in the interpretation of the disease and how they have given rise to multiple narratives about the pandemic, particularly online. It concludes that while different perspectives and or interpretations of a crisis is not necessarily wrong, where these detract from the crisis itself and become a contestation of individual and or sector interests, they birth a new crisis. This is the new crisis facing the continent in relation to the pandemic.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Is COVID-era Assertiveness in Chinese Foreign Policy Novel? China’s rising ambitions as a global power and US retrenchment as a hegemon has redefined international politics over the past few years. This development has generated considerable scholarly attention on the sources of Chinese foreign policy. This paper contributes to .to this body of scholarship. The US-China dynamic in the international system is currently being mediated by the global human and economic toll of the COVID pandemic. China’s international reputation has been undermined by allegations of perfidy and opaqueness in its handling of the COVID-19. A dominant section of the international community led by the US is currently at loggerheads with China. Long-term discontent with globalization, mostly in advanced industrialized states, had already laid the groundwork for their antipathy towards China. The current contours of the “China versus the rest”dynamic in the international system are being shaped by China's struggle and the other major powers to dominate future technologies. This paper outlines these systemic changes and connects them to China’s domestic contestation over its foreign policy.

First, it outlines the incentive and information problems facing policymakers in responding to a new epidemic. Second, it considers the existence of a tradeoff between public health and freedom. Informed by a survey of the history of public health and an analysis of the response to Covid-19, it presents evidence that such a tradeoff can obtain in the short run but that, in the long run, the negative relationship is reversed and the trade-off disappears.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Enforcing the Right to a Healthy Environment in the Climate Emergency: A View from Above The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown into the spotlight the links between measures to tackle air pollution, protect human rights and address climate change. This article therefore scrutinises the extent to which the right to a healthy environment has been invoked in the growing body of human rights-based climate litigation in general, and to demand the enforcement of air quality standards in particular. By looking at the limited precedents that have occurred to date, the article offers some reflections on what the future may hold for this specific strand of litigation in the aftermath of the pandemic. It concludes that, where it is recognised, the right to a clean environment provides a precious ammunition to deliver greater climate accountability and better enforcement of air quality standards.

To exemplify part of the theoretical and methodological approach involved in the plan and, the workshop, as well as its goals and one of the sessions, will be described along with perspectives aligned to Spinoza, Vygotsky, Freire, and some other authors to promote understanding of how people can be affected towards social change. It is known that there are many facets to the current turmoil, so the GPB seeks to create spaces in which creativity and critical thinking can create possibilities for emotional support, development, hope, and action.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title The pandemic and homeless people in the Turin area: the level of housing adequacy shapes experiences and well-being Purpose Considering the case study presented, the purpose of this paper is to analyse the impact of the pandemic in local services for homeless people. Drawing from the concept of ontological security, it will be discussed how different services' levels of "housing adequacy" shaped remarkably different experiences of the pandemic for homeless people and social workers in terms of health protection and agency. Design/methodology/approach This paper focuses on a case study concerning homeless services for people during the COVID-19 pandemic in the metropolitan and suburban area of Turin, in Northern Italy. In-depth interviews with social workers and participant observation during online meetings of workers from the shelters constitute the empirical data that have been collected during the first wave of the pandemic in Italy. Findings According to the findings, the pandemic showed shelters as unsafe places that reduce homeless people's decision power and separate them from the rest of the citizenship. Instead, Housing First projects emerged as imore inclusive and safermore inclusive and safer spaces, able to enhance people's power over their own lives. The pandemic did not create emerging issues in the homeless services system or discontinuities: rather, it amplified pre-existing problematic aspects. Originality/value The case study presented provides empirical insights to recognise at the political and organisational level the importance of housing as a measure of individual and collective security, calling for an intervention to tackle homelessness in terms of housing policies rather than exclusively social and emergency treatment.

Episodes of emergency between sickness and dwelli0ng The house gets sick, the house makes us sick, the house heals, the house heals us. The hypothesis of the house as the place where medical and social disorders heal is the starting point of this article. The set objective is to analyze, through three episodes, the incipient modernity of the second half of the 19th century, the hegemonic modernity of the first half of the 20th century and contemporaneity, the relationship between housing and illness. In the fight against diseases architecture has found an excuse to rethink and rephrase current housing paradigms, and at the beginning of the 21st century faces once again this disciplinary challenge in the context of Covid-19 pandemic that has evidenced the existing conflict between contemporary needs and a housing paradigm debtor of modernity. © 2021 The author;licensee Universidad de la Costa - CUC.

The researcher/artist created a series of digital collages over a four-month period that were explored symbolically and metaphorically to comprehend a period of collective grief. The investigation explores digital collage as an applicable ABR method and highlights the importance of expressive therapists creating their own art, especially during times of crises.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Much ado about nothing: Paradoxes of immigrant regularization sprang from pandemic This note focuses on the regularization of immigrant workers recently approved within the framework of the Decreto Rilancio (Decree Law no 34/2020) as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic A heated debate within the Italian government has preceded the final approval of the decree Even if this measure represents an encouraging step change after years of restrictive immigration policies, its concrete provisions sound timid and short-lived Notably, while the main declared objective of the Decree is to protect individual and collective health, it actually excludes many potential applicants Eligibility is indeed strictly conditional to the possession of a job in three labour market sectors only, i e , agriculture, care and domestic work Only around 200 000 people will be regularized, out of an esteem of 600 000 irregular immigrants currently living in Italy This article highlights and analyses the limits as well as the paradoxical effects of the provision It also points out the positive innovation of a newly-introduced residence permit for job search, although its potential is severely limited by the conditions imposed on its applicability © 2020 Societa Editrice il Mulino All rights reserved

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Biopower and plasma: How COVID-19 made an ant theorist stop worrying and love foucault The article deals with some problems in the works of Bruno Latour and Michel Foucault as they considered the body and biopower To dispose of the Foucauldian concept of biopower, Latour proposed his theory of the body as a dynamic object constantly learning to be open to new articulations The author points out the gaps in Latour’s solution and develops her own in order to return biopower into the realm of actor network theory The body is to be understood as the privileged object in actor network theory, while both biopower and resistance to it are two fundamental and interrelated groups of articulations that allow the body to support the unlimited expansion of the network This theory is validated by succeeding in three tasks The first is to show that Latour’s definition of the human body has implications that are important both for his work with biopower and for actor network theory as a whole The body in the actor network theory has a special status compared to any other objects, and this is the very reason that the control of biopower over the body plays such an important role Only the body possesses the necessary “bandwidth” — the ability to bring into the network what is not in it The second task is to compare the concepts of body and biopower in Latour and Foucault and partially translate them into each other’s terms The third and last task involves deciding whether the body resists biopower through the logic of actor network theory, or whether the acquisition of a body is the only possible act of power The article concludes with a demonstration of how the available theoretical resources can be used to describe the current coronavirus situation © 2021, Gaidar Institute Press All rights reserved

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Journalism in the Context of a Sanitary Crisis: Representations of the Job and Journalists’ Expectations The economic difficulties of media companies, ethical-deontological lapses, technological progress and the globalisation of information flows have been seen as the main factors of the contemporary crisis in journalism. With repercussions on working conditions and the public image of journalists, these variables are, however, only the most visible face of threats to an activity that, according to Nelson Traquina (2002), has a symbiotic relationship with democracy. Beyond these economic, social and cultural circumstances are also the expectations of the professionals themselves. In an occupation so often described as passionate, the professional situation seems to be less and less rewarding, not only due to the decrease in job opportunities, with newsrooms increasingly empty, but also due to the lack of perspective on career progression. This is one of the results of the “Study on the Effects of the State of Emergency on Journalism in the Context of the Covid-19 Pandemic”, conducted between May and June 2020. With a particular focus on reading journalists’ expectations, in this article we analyse the symbolic representations of a job that founded its social legitimacy on an idea of public service. Based on studies about the profession and its representations, we tried to find answers to understand why the acceptance of precariousness and abandonment of the profession can still be understood as places of resistance. © 2021.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Sanitary Crisis, Civilizational Crisis Sanitary Crisis, Civilizational Crisis is the translation of Michel Maffesoli’s Crise sanitaire, crise civilisationnelle. This paper can be taken as his pronouncement on the civilizational crisis that the COVID-19 pandemic acutely reveals. Maffesoli’s text urges one to see beyond secondary causes or dramatic representations of the pandemic as a sanitary crisis, and to consider the primary, and tragic, causes of this event, understood as a crisis that marks the exhaustion of the logic of modernity. Following from a longstanding critique of the decadence of modernity and, by extension, of an “official society” ordered and controlled by an out-of-touch and morbid elite, Maffesoli makes unequivocally clear that this global pandemic is a direct consequence of a globalized progressivist, economicist, and utilitarian civilizational paradigm. The paper takes up the task of reflecting on how relationality, being-together, and being-with, can be thought in our current moment of civilizational crisis.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Black, Proud, Silent, and Loud: Experiences of a Junior Faculty Member in 2020 Several social injustice issues, well known within the Black community, were brought to light to other ethnic/racial groups in 2020 and could no longer be ignored within the academic community. This led to personal, departmental, and institutional initiatives meant to increase racism awareness and apply change in thought and action. These initiatives often came at a cost of personal time and resources to Black and Indigenous People of Color academics, expected to contribute to these initiatives, redefine classroom syllabi, uphold research agendas, and continue with mentoring activities amidst their home environment (due to COVID-19) while monitoring their own feelings of pride, hurt, anger, anxiousness, and often- fatigue. This presentation will present the perceived triumphs and failed experiences of a junior faculty member, how they navigated this process, and explain the continued importance of institutions’ forward movement of initiatives meant to change the social and racial academic atmosphere.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title The public realm during public health emergencies: exploring local level responses to the COVID-19 pandemic The public realm is a well-recognized contributor to positive health and wellbeing. Public parks and recreational spaces are now some of the main outlets for people to get outdoors, however COVID-19 has created challenges in these spaces. We classify local government responses around maintaining physical distancing in the public realm using a preliminary conceptual map of theories and actions to identify variations in these approaches around the globe. This pilot classification approach provides a useful lens to examine pandemic responses, with future work building upon this map to potentially inform how cities may react to other complex planetary health issues.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Fairness, Ethnicity, and COVID-19 Ethics: A Discussion of How the Focus on Fairness in Ethical Guidance During the Pandemic Discriminates Against People From Ethnic Minority Backgrounds Recent weeks have seen an increased focus on the ethical response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ethics guidance has proliferated across Britain, with ethicists and those with a keen interest in ethics in their professions working to produce advice and support for the National Health Service. The guiding principles of the pandemic have emerged, in one form or another, to favour fairness, especially with regard to allocating resources and prioritizing care. However, fairness is not equivalent to equity when it comes to healthcare, and the focus on fairness means that existing guidance inadvertently discriminates against people from ethnic minority backgrounds. Drawing on early criticisms of existing clinical guidance (for example, the frailty decision tool) and ethical guidance in Britain, this essay will discuss the importance of including sociology, specifically the relationship between ethnicity and health, in any ethical and clinical guidance for care during the pandemic in the United Kingdom. To do otherwise, I will argue, would be actively choosing to allow a proportion of the British population to die for no other reason than their ethnic background. Finally, I will end by arguing why sociology must be a key component in any guidance, outlining how sociology was incorporated into the cross-college guidance produced by the Royal College of Physicians.

This paper reflects on the experiences and sociabilities, that social policies consolidate in millions of people who benefit from Cash Transfer Programs. It has the aim to describe the emotions of recipients of social policies, at the beginning of Social, Preventive and Mandatory Isolation in Argentina, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. To achieve this, virtual semi-structured interviews on Facebook were carried out.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Youth Information Interaction Research in the Pandemic: Adjustments, Innovations, Implications For over a year, the pandemic has forced youth to alter their routines and rely almost exclusively on technology to learn, play and connect with family and friends. Although some alterations in youth's routine seem to be temporary, some adaptations and appropriations resulting from interactions with technology will likely be forever altered. As this scenario develops, we must reflect on how these permanent changes will affect our approaches and inquiries on youth information interaction. This 90‐minute panel will convene scholars and members of the ASIS&T community interested in discussing the present and the future of digital youth research. Panelists will mediate focused conversations with participants to generate a collective account of experiences and reflections based on challenges and research plans for after the pandemic. As the implications of a global pandemic are unfolding, youth information interaction research will be critical to inform policies and programs in education and reduce digital divides.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Douglas Walton and the Covid-19 Crisis As we reflect on the work of Douglas Walton, I want to encourage readers of this journal to look beyond the usual applications of logic and consider the domains of medicine and health It is testimony to the intellectual breadth of Walton's ideas in argumentation theory and fallacies that his work should find a home in medical and health disciplines, particularly epidemiology and public health In this paper, I examine three areas of Walton's theoretical approach to argument and fallacies that I have found most beneficial to my work on reasoning in public health First, Walton's collaboration with John Woods resulted in a new, rigorous program of fallacy research Integral to this new approach to the fallacies was the characterization of non-fallacious variants of most of the major informal fallacies Second, Walton advocated for a third category of presumptive argument to sit alongside deduction and induction, with plausibility as the standard of rational evaluation Many so-called informal fallacies, he contended, are rationally warranted presumptive arguments in the practically oriented contexts in which they are advanced Third, Walton argued that presumptive arguments like the argument from expert opinion can be scrutinized using critical questions during systematic reasoning They may also bypass critical questions and facilitate a quick leap to a conclusion based on one or two explicit premises during heuristic reasoning Each of these three areas in Walton's work is discussed in the context of medicine and health, with illustration provided by the current Covid-19 pandemic

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Nature-based therapeutics: A collaborative research agenda promoting equitable access and environmental stewardship BACKGROUND: Given the duration and intensity of the COVID-19 pandemic, with strict emphasis on social distancing, many individuals and families are experiencing social isolation. The need to explore effective strategies for health promotion and wellness is clear. AIM: The purpose of this report is to highlight evidence supporting the health benefits of nature-based therapeutics and to describe the exploratory and translational research agenda for a nurse-led program entitled RxPLORE(TM): Prescribing Life Outdoors and Real Exploration. METHODS: Integrative review of the current state of evidence for nature-based therapeutics and operationalisation of a nature-based health promotion framework as the foundation of a PhD-DNP collaborative program of research. DISCUSSION: Amidst the unfolding crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, the value of nature-based therapeutics is becoming more widely recognised, as are layers of disparities in access to nature. A nurse-led team proposes a program of research outlining priorities for the translation of current evidence into practice and for the investigation of gaps in the evidence base that will inform future recommendations for nature-based health promotion. The initial population of focus is children and families. CONCLUSION: Prescribing nature is a strategy to promote health and wellness throughout the lifespan. For all populations to experience the health-promoting benefits of nature, nurses engage community members and collaborate across sectors to advocate for equitable access to nature and environmental stewardship through conservation practices.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Beyond the Language of Covid-19: Transformation of Social Discourse and Reproduction of Cultural Capital The research draws on the concept of 'cultural capital' as well as assumptions of critical discourse analysis and cognitive linguistics to argue that the Covid-19 pandemic may be viewed as a global turning point. The article explores the context and the means that have facilitated the transformation of cultural capital during the coronavirus outbreak. The dramatic changes to culture have been successfully pushed through due to the public's incessant exposure to institutionalized, governmental and mass media discourses, which have been urging people to adopt new communicative and cultural practices with a varying degree of argumentation and imposition. The changes entail reviewing social structure, spatial and relational stereotypes and standards, which in the long run transforms cultural capital. The global scope of the pandemic and the relatively identical regulations imposed by governments on their citizens generate a tentative tendency to cultural convergence: individuals are made to abandon their culture specific practices and values and adopt those that ensure physical survival. © 2022 Gayevska et al.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Climate Mobility and the Pandemic: Art-Science Lessons for Societal Resilience Societies were underprepared for the COVID-19 pandemic. This is also the case for climate change. Art may have a greater role to play in advancing societal resilience across these different categories of shocks and risks. In this Intervention, we deploy and evaluate art as a social practice supporting societal responses to sea level rise and its impacts. Our evaluation is focused on the ways in which the open-ended, deliberately unusual juxtaposition of art and science can accelerate fundamental adjustments in responding to complex climate risks such as climate mobility threats, under simultaneous stressors such as COVID-19. Through art, we explore science-society interactions, using Miami as a globally relevant case study. Our critique identifies outcomes of the perhaps radically interdisciplinary approach, including the integration, passion, and dialogue enabled and enriched through art.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Dogs Unleashed: The Positive Role Dogs Play during COVID-19 The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has forced the global community to cope with widespread fear and isolation. However, there are outpourings of kindness and community despite these challenging times. In some cases, mandatory “social distancing” has even strengthened our relationships. One such relationship is the bond between humans and dogs. In this commentary, I leverage visual autoethnography to detail and understand human-dog relationships in the time of COVID-19, highlighting their importance. I then critique the allocation of space for dogs and the rigid restrictions on dogs in public space. Finally, I use my experience with my dog as a lens to question the heavy policing of public space and reflect on broader issues of this enforcement.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Ritual, Community Preservation, and Environment in Theyyam Performance Theyyam is a uniquely pantheistic art form, and its performance has endured the threat of environmental change and cultural displacement. The perspectives of Theyyam performers has undergone a paradigm shift in recent years. Theyyam artists today are compelled to perform in a way that is not limited to local spaces but that can reach more mainstream audiences. The COVID-19 pandemic, too, has had an adverse economic impact on performers, whose principal livelihood is farming. Hence, contemporary performers have been seeking variations of practice that do not give up Theyyam's sociocultural essence.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Neighbourhood climate resilience: lessons from the Lighthouse Project OBJECTIVE: The Lighthouse Project (2017–2018) explored the role that faith-based organizations (FBOs) might play as resilience hubs for climate-related stresses and extreme weather emergencies in disadvantaged urban environments of three cities. This paper discusses the role that public health played in these initiatives and makes an appeal for more participatory, community-engaged public health in light of the persistent gaps in its approach to equitable climate change preparedness. METHODS: Pilots were initiated in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA): Brampton’s Emergency Managers offered pre-selected FBO volunteers specialized training to be part of the city’s emergency response in establishing FBO sites as emergency muster stations. An environmental organization in Hamilton explored how its existing networks could rally around a local social resilience challenge, and a community organizer in Toronto undertook network building to support mostly newcomer populations in one inner-city neighbourhood. All pilots used a mix of cold calling, workshops, municipal presentations, and participation in local programming and public events. Two convened local working groups. RESULTS: By the end of the pilot, Brampton’s Emergency Management Office had made one contractual relationship with an FBO and its volunteers. In Hamilton, a multi-stakeholder network emerged to support the climate preparedness of agencies serving local vulnerable populations. In Toronto, a residents’ working group was established to address neighbour well-being and emergency response in one apartment tower. Work in all three communities is ongoing. CONCLUSION: Multi-stakeholder support for community organizations and local volunteers can enable partnerships in neighbourhood-level climate resilience—before, during and after extreme weather events. Public Health, while not typically top-of-mind as a key ally in this work, is well positioned to make a contribution. Consistent with place-based approaches, an emergent community development design enabled community animators to catalyze collaborations to suit the on-the-ground realities of each site.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Communicating Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene under Sustainable Development Goals 3, 4, and 6 as the Panacea for Epidemics and Pandemics Referencing the Succession of COVID-19 Surges [Image: see text] WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) has become the most crucial amenity in the past decade for every individual on the planet. In the UN agenda for 2030, which created 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), SDGs 3, 4, and 6 directly correlate with WASH practices and management for creating a good health hygiene environment for all. The dearth of WASH facilities has created barriers for averting the transmission of COVID-19, motivating the concept of WASH as the primary step of precaution and prevention, which includes WASH practices, communication for literacy, and positive behavioral changes primarily in developing and low-income countries. This Review deals with the complex concept of correlation of WASH and SDGs 3, 4, and 6 while defining elaborate WASH practices, including the prominence of clean water, the need for sanitation facilities, and health hygiene for good health and immunity for preparedness for and during epidemics and pandemics. Certain risk factors explain the sectors in which the gaps exist, creating a gap for implementation of WASH practices in epidemics and pandemics across the globe. Further, COVID-19 surge succession is presented along with data of different variants that have occurred. The need of WASH understanding is required using different tools (audio-visual, social media, print media, and mass media) and strategies (communication, advocacy, and positive behavioral changes) for every individual as an act to counter consequences during and after the COVID-19 pandemic and as a routine practice for future preparedness. This Review gives a detailed concept of WASH understanding for every sector from community to government agencies and research professionals to act immediately for the sustainable future of humanity.

BACKGROUND Past guidance in the codes of practice urged doctors to provide treatment even in the context of extreme adversities. Despite the significant societal changes of recent times, contemporary guidance regarding the duty to treat during a pandemic has been limited. OBJECTIVE The authors herewith examine deontological aspects pertaining to the duty to treat during a pandemic and the potential disruptions to health care services. CONCLUSION The ethical, legal and professional guidance for duty of care during a pandemic is uncertain and demands further debate.

[...]La'Nora Boror's piece Life-Altering captures the new reality of life in a mask for Black people, and intentionally looks at the intersectional position occupied by women. In summation, the Curating the End of the World exhibition series serves as an online visual archive of the African diaspora experience in America during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the acceleration of capital to online platforms as working class people of color did not have the luxury of working from home, often functioning as front line workers that still had to pick up garbage and prepare or deliver food. [...]the exhibition also serves as a turning point in the formation of platform capitalism as Black digital artists began to demonstrate an increasing sophistication with blockchain technology, developing NFTs or Non-Fungible Tokens as an alternative to the traditional route of using art dealers, other elite outlets, or hegemonic platforms like Google and more that control their artistic expression.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title ‘Containment, delay, mitigation’: waiting and care in the time of a pandemic In this paper we take up three terms – containment, delay, mitigation – that have been used by the UK Government to describe their phased response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the terms refer to a political and public health strategy – contain the virus, flatten the peak of the epidemic, mitigate its effects – we offer a psychosocial reading that draws attention to the relation between time and care embedded in each term. We do so to call for the development of a form of care-ful attention under conditions that tend to prompt action rather than reflection, closing down time for thinking. Using Adriana Cavarero’s notion of ‘horrorism’, in which violence is enacted at precisely the point that care is most needed, we discuss the ever-present possibility of failures within acts of care. We argue that dwelling in the temporality of delay can be understood as an act of care if delaying allows us to pay care-ful attention to violence. We then circle back to a point in twentieth-century history – World War II – that was also concerned with an existential threat requiring a response from a whole population. Our purpose is not to invoke a fantasised narrative of ‘Blitz spirit’, but to suggest that the British psychoanalytic tradition born of that moment offers resources for understanding how to keep thinking while ‘under fire’ through containing unbearable anxiety and the capacity for violence in the intersubjective space and time between people. In conditions of lockdown and what will be a long and drawn-out ‘after life’ of COVID-19, this commitment to thinking in and with delay and containment might help to inhabit this time of waiting – waiting that is the management and mitigation of a future threat, but also a time of care in and for the present.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Gendered Disease Iconography through the Lens of COVID-19 in Hong Kong Amidst the rampancy of COVID-19, the news media and academics have emphasized men’s gendered vulnerability. Many examine the risks individuals or communities are exposed to, implying the need to reconsider gendered stereotypes that victimize people at work and at home. In this short commentary, rather than interrogating the risk-related agenda, I reflect on genders as imagined sources of disease by studying strategies adopted by administrators in health communication for the purpose of disease control. Using AIDS and syphilis as examples, Sander Gilman (Gilman 1988) notes that the construction of various boundaries of disease, of images of the patient as the vessel and transmitter, depends on our moral sense and consequent desire to insulate those we define as ill. COVID-19 exposed people’s speculations about the reservoirs of pathogens. In a post-conflict society, Hong Kong is an ideal looking glass, magnifying the process through which symbols of disease are portrayed. On the one hand, this short essay aims to examine how gendered sources of COVID-19 manifest in a society within a specific geopolitical context. On the other hand, through the new iconography of disease, I identify the challenges of modernity “Asia’s world city” has been experiencing. I explore these questions through an examination of specific aspects of Hong Kong’s response to COVID-19: gendered Sinophobia toward police officers’ wives; reactions to retired women who sought out younger men as dance partners during COVID-19; failure to recognize and protect foreign domestic workers as a vulnerable group during the pandemic; government actions that draw on “toxic masculine” traits and values; the city’s response to queer communities’ involvement in COVID-19 outbreaks; and the government’s deliberate de-emphasis on gender issues as compared with China. Each of these examples encapsulates how both gendered and cross-border conceptions of disease iconography were geopolitically formed regarding the recent tension between Hong Kong and China.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Conceptualizing COVID‐19‐Related Career Concerns Using Bioecological Systems: Implications for Career Practice The COVID‐19 pandemic has affected many aspects of the global society, including the workforce, with many effects yet to be seen. Career professionals in various settings are positioned to support clients and students through pandemic‐related career concerns. Bronfenbrenner's (1979, 2001, 2005) bioecological systems model provides a framework that can aid in conceptualizing clients' and students' presenting issues within the complex nature of their environments. In this theoretical article, we contextualize COVID‐19‐related career concerns through a bioecological systems lens and integrate four contemporary approaches to career work. Two fictional case studies illustrate how career professionals can integrate these approaches.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title The Self and its World: A Neuro-Ecological and Temporo-Spatial Account of Existential Fear The current international crisis situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is having a strong psychological impact on our subjectivities. We are constantly threatened by the danger of i) being infected, ii) infecting other people, and (iii) by the loss of social relation. Departing from these premises, we here aim to investigate the psychological and neurodynamics of this complex phenomenon. First, we discuss about recent psychological and neuronal findings on fear and its disorders, related to an unbalanced intero-exteroceptive processing and emotional regulation. Secondly we move to the psychological and neuronal dynamics of self and others characterized by a temporo-spatial alignment with the world. Due to the neural overlap of emotion and self and the deep-reaching neuro-ecological layers of self, emotional feelings like fear and anxiety cannot be detached and dissociated from the world; they signify the world–brain relation, and, more specifically, our self-other relation. The deepest neuro-ecological and neuro-social layers of self are threatened by the loss of subjectivity, which is manifest in our loss of body and thus the fear of dying, and the loss of intersubjectivity that surfaces in our fear of infecting others, which reflect the intimate anchorage of the self with the world. In our opinion the pandemic of COVID-19 deeply affect our sense of self and its spatio-temporal neuronal dynamics providing the prerequisites for the manifestation of fear and existential anxiety, thus disrupting the brain-world relation with significant repercussions on our psyche and on our daily lives.

These are also, if not first and foremost, heroes of oral literature (from tales to myths) from this region of West Africa. It is up to anthropologists to explore the meandering symbolism and imagination of these liminal animals that move back and forth between the worlds inhabited by humans and the "bush" worlds of non-humans. Here arises a mythological anamnesis. These "trickster" animals challenge categories and understanding of both virologists and anthropologists.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title The pandemic as a portal for change: Pushing against the limits of “normal schooling” in south africa Starting from the position that inequalities in schooling in South Africa are well known, this article suggests pausing the impulse to “return to normal” in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and instead questioning the operations, assumptions and effects of what is considered “normal”. It uses Michel Foucault’s concepts of governmentality and dispositif to argue that the pandemic not only exposes the structural inequalities in schooling;it also exposes the confusing enmeshment of governmental processes and logics that produce and normalise these. Given the complex social and economic inequalities in South Africa, the article questions the limits of governmental capacity to meet its own stated aims of equal provisioning of schooling for all, using the provision of water to schools as an illustrative case. The article concludes by arguing for the importance of pressing against the assumptions of “normal schooling” with its embedded inequalities, and it sets out the ethical challenge for working for change. © The Author(s) 2021.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title HeartMath as an Integrative, Personal, Social, and Global Healthcare System COVID-19 is a recent major event, adding to planet Earth’s contexts of chaos, crime, injustice, illness, and violence. The HeartMath system has produced research evidence for scientific interventions that alter contexts characterized by chaos and stress, promoting health, coherence, and interconnectedness. This study provides an updated overview of HeartMath as an interdisciplinary, scientific, coherent, integral heart-based healthcare system, operated locally through various initiatives and globally through the Global Coherence Initiative. The HeartMath approach integrates ancient and contemporary, indigenous and mainstream, popular and folk, Eastern, Western, and African forms of healing. The HeartMath interdisciplinary, personal, social, and global vision and mission have considerable theoretical and practical potential for promoting planetary health, education, and development.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Resilience is a feminist issue: A response to Angela McRobbie’s Feminism and the Politics of Resilience in the context of Britain during the coronavirus pandemic This article responds to Angela McRobbie?s latest book Feminism and the Politics of Resilience: Essays on Gender, Media and the End of Welfare (2020) which is a characteristically feminist, state-of-the-nation account of intersections of gender, media and culture in neoliberal Britain. It first situates the book in the context of McRobbie?s larger body of work in the field of feminist media and cultural studies, before then going on to address some of the issues that arise from essays themselves, thinking in particular about the notion of ?resilience? in relation to our year (and counting) spent living through the Covid-19 pandemic, and how some of the issues McRobbie deals with have taken on new levels of urgency in the context of the coronavirus crisis. The principal focus of my response is McRobbie?s interrogation of the extent to which and the ways in which working class women (especially those of colour) have been deleteriously impacted by the logic of neoliberalism that continues to operate under the ideologically disingenuous banner of ?resilience.?

Please summerize the given abstract to a title All policies are wrong, but some are useful—and which ones do no harm? The five of us research and teach risk analysis with an eye towards decision support. Our work has been dedicated to taming risks and helping to make challenging decisions. But nothing had prepared us for the Covid-19 pandemic. We first had to grapple with the news coming from abroad, including, for some of us, our home countries. Then, some information and research, but mostly opinions, started coming in from our academic community, and we felt the tensions. Finally, the UK went into an unofficial and then official lockdown, and all University staff were asked to redirect their research capacity so as to support the national effort for risk analysis and decision support. As we write this on the 20th of April, many countries, including the UK, are starting to consider how to get out of lockdown. Like the previous stages of the pandemic, there is little data, perhaps a bit more research, surely many more opinions, and definitely an overwhelming amount of personal experiences and thoughts. Here we reflect on all of the above, just in case it can help the readers of this Minds in Society flash editorial to think and act, or at least, to not have to do so entirely on their own. As it can be expected, our collage introduces more questions than it can answer.

Please summerize the given abstract to a title Guns, germs, and public history: A conversation with Jennifer Tucker In this wide-ranging conversation, historians David Serlin (UC San Diego) and Jennifer Tucker (Wesleyan University) discuss the role of material culture and visual media in shaping how museums communicate histories of science and technology. Tucker describes recent a public history project focused on 19th-century histories of firearms and gun regulation in light of contemporary debates about the Second Amendment "right to bear arms." Serlin and Tucker conclude by speculating about possible curatorial directions for a future public history exhibit focused on the social and cultural impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020.
