As the negative psychological impact of Covid-19 is no longer in doubt, the aim of the study presented here was to quantify the post-traumatic growth (PTC) of caregivers working in critical care. To this end, a paper questionnaire was distributed in the critical care department of the Lyon-Sud hospital. Among the care team, 67% had developed PTC, showing that despite the difficulties experienced during the trauma, the team had managed to grow from this crisis., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Abstract This paper explores the multifaceted impact of Covid-19 on Sesto San Giovanni, in the Milan metropolitan area. It analyzes the challenges faced by local businesses and how the city responded with extraordinary measures for public spaces, revitalizing commercial sectors, and adopting new coping mechanisms. The pandemic underscored the strategic importance of public spaces and commercial activities as vital infrastructures for societal well-being and resilience. Integrating outdoor amenities like dehors and parklets into urban redevelopment plans has boosted economic vitality and social cohesion, creating a vibrant and interconnected urban environment.

Between 2020 and 2023, a period of time assailed by the COVID-19 pandemic, society – as a worldwide social system –experienced a novel kind of communication. The tendency for this communication to exponentially expand is due to the global numbers of people dead, dying or infected. Pandemic communication has arisen in the present to perpetuate itself in all ambiences for every social system around the globe. The health system, in turn, basing itself on the health/disease code, has reacted according to its own logic in the coordination of the actions of doctors. However, the true/false nature of communication arising from questions related to COVID-19 has taken a long time to be tested by the science system. Vaccines and possible treatments for the disease have created issues for political, economic, moral, religious and media matters. The continually expanding trend in pandemic communication has proven that it can hinder the functional differentiation of social systems. Legal communication has not been able to avoid all of the controversy. In the specific case of Law, the problem entails both the judicialization of health and the reverse (where Health becomes Law). Based on the Social Systems Theory Applied to Law, the paper argues that the maintenance of the functional differentiation of the Law system becomes necessary so as for Health not to become Law (and vice versa).

State responses to COVID-19 were unevenly felt across society. Negative consequences of lockdowns and travel restrictions for the upper classes were largely restricted to not seeing friends or taking holidays. For those with little or no right to have rights (Arendt, 1970), those relegated to society’s margins—such as refugees and asylum claimants—state responses to COVID-19 metamorphosed into Kafkaesque restrictions, surveillance, and control. Informed by participant observations and 10 interviews with civil society actors conducted in Athens in 2021 and 2022 at the height of the pandemic, this paper shows how the Greek state weaponized COVID-19 to further exclude refugees from society, deny asylum procedures, and reduce service provision for those awaiting the outcome of their asylum claims.

The mental health of the population has deteriorated as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been shown that people with mental illnesses face discrimination and stigma. In this context, communication is an essential tool to make these illnesses more visible and, in particular, cartoons can play an important role. In this paper we analyze 317 cartoons dealing with mental health. We compared the cartoons published before and during the pandemic to see if there were any changes, if stigma was reduced and if journalistic good practice guidelines were applied to the cartoons. The data suggest that more attention has been paid to mental health issues during the pandemic, although many stereotypes and bad practices still dominate the cartoons. Furthermore, graphic humor proves its value as a tool for analyzing current affairs and can also be used to raise awareness of mental health issues.

In the fight against the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), the biggest challenges the world faces are to contain the spread of the virus and to find effective solutions to reduce the harsh effects of the crisis on health, economic and social aspects. Experts suggest that the contact tracing of cases is the best alternative to traditional measures to limit transmission and control the epidemic. The Moroccan government has released the Wiqaytna mobile application to identify and manage people who have been exposed to the virus. However, Moroccan citizens are still reluctant to accepting and using such technology. This paper attempts to identify factors predicting the acceptance of using contact tracing mobile apps in Morocco. To do, 717 Moroccan citizens were surveyed. Results of the structural equation modeling methods revealed that perceived usefulness is the most significant determinant predicting the acceptance of the Wiqaytna mobile app by Moroccans.

This article aims to explore how the COVID-19 pandemic affects students’ learning and to determine the most effective way for universities to manage the epidemic while continuing their regular operations. The study also aims to identify any areas where universities’ behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic or any similar crises in the future may need to be improved. The primary purpose of any university is to carry out academic activities, and this research focuses on how to do so effectively and efficiently. The study reports that COVID-19 has hurt graduate programs, internships, internal and external assessments, and student learning after reviewing the literature. However, the pandemic has also allowed universities to improve their internet and ICT infrastructure and provide the necessary skills for their workforce to deliver effective learning. This was done in addition to mitigating the learning challenges brought on by COVID-19. While the article focuses on analyzing the body of literature about the impact of COVID-19 on student learning during the pandemic, it also identifies several areas that need further investigation. To provide an integrated approach to managing university academic business while combating the pandemic, research must be done from the viewpoint of teachers, lecturers, administrators, and other parties. The first chapter of the study covers the primary data and history of COVID-19. COVID-19 began in late 2019 and rapidly spread globally. The World Health Organization classified COVID-19 as a pandemic in early 2020. COVID-19 has affected every aspect of life, including schooling. The second chapter examines the impact of the pandemic on students' learning, as well as the containment and preventative measures implemented by the relevant authorities to halt the virus’s spread. This chapter covers the enrollment of students before and after COVID-19, the teaching strategies used to reduce the risk of infection and ensure student learning, the validity and efficiency of student assessments, and other experiences, including stress on a physical, emotional, and financial level. It also discusses internships and jobs and outlines some benefits and opportunities associated with efficient learning as a means of advancing. The final chapter emphasizes the limitations of the paper's topic under discussion.
