Fractional-order mathematical model for analysing impact of quarantine on transmission of COVID-19 in India

An outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease was first reported in Wuhan, China in December 2019.  In India, the first case was reported on January 30, 2020 on a person with a travel history to an affected country.  Considering the fact of a heavily populated and diversified country like India, we have proposed a novel fractional-order mathematical model to elicit the transmission dynamics of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the control strategy for India.  The classical SEIR model is employed in three compartments, namely: quarantined immigrated population, non-q

Administrative and legal measures to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic: the case of Ukraine, the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus

Attempts to analyse measures taken by the governments of Ukraine, the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus in struggle against the COVID-19 pandemic are made. Some issues of the current legislation, which were introduced under new circumstances in above-mentioned states are raised in the article. Most countries of the world were not ready for the changes in the objective legal reality which should have occurred in view of the need to combat the pandemic. The existing legal framework has not been sufficient to respond quickly to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 infection.

Biomedical Cyber-physical System for Round-the-clock Monitoring of Lung Functions in Patients With COVID-19.

The coronavirus has the greatest effect on the lungs. That is why the lungs of patients with COVID-19 need constant medical monitoring. The paper considers the biomedical cyber-physical system for round-the-clock monitoring of lung functions in patients with COVID-19, which allows physicians to continuously monitor the main organ of patients affected by the coronavirus — the lungs. It is designed to monitor the patient’s condition around the clock and regardless of the patient’s location.

Investigation of Wireless Pulse Oximeters for Smartphone-based Remote Monitoring of Lung Health

Coronavirus has the greatest effect on the human lungs. This is why lungs of patients with COVID- 19 require constant medical monitoring. One of the tools for the lungs condition monitoring is based on the wireless pulse oximeters connected to smartphones. There is an attempt to analyze the types of pulse oximeters, their technical characteristics, principles of operation and basic requirements for these measuring instruments in the article. According to this study, the most effective pulse oximeters for 24/7 monitoring of lung function were selected.

Impact of COVID-19 on Rail Freight Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed not only the lives of many people, but also the situation in global and local markets. Worldwide, there has been a significant reduction in production capacity due to the closure of borders between countries and the introduction of self-isolation. The spread of the epidemic disrupted the usual trade relations between producers and consumers, caused serious changes in the activities of logistics companies.

URBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORT POLICY IN THE CONDITIONS OF COVID-19

The purpose of the research is formation of passenger transport policy by public transport from the standpoint of determining the level of safety in COVID-19 and passenger comfort with the development of basics for measuring the perception of the most important factors of public transport convenience, minimum discomfort and maximum safety. Methodology. The study was conducted in two stages - inhouse and experimental - the collection and processing of data obtained from the survey of passenger flows.

National and information security (current update)

The focus is on information security issues. There are always cyber threats in a globalized society, but in times of certain world or state problems and difficulties, their impact is particularly acute. It is stated that the world now is facing a new problem - a new disease whose treatment does not have treatment and prevention in the form of vaccination. The set of measures taken at the state level causes the weakening of the state and non-state sectors of the economy and applies to all spheres of life of both individuals and the state and international institutions.

Changes in the tax legal regime of entrepreneurs and self-employed persons in connection with the COVID-19 distribution

The article deals with the current problems, development and public relations in the field of taxation of Ukraine in connection with the spread of COVID-19. The research input focuses on the analysis of the main problems of the current tax system in Ukraine. The issues of particular changes in the tax legal regime of Ukraine, which are related to the implementation of the fiscal (fiscal) and monetary (monetary) policies in the context of quarantine measures, are investigated.

Preparedness for the challenges of viral infection and application of knowledge of biosafety technologies by students

The state of development of the disease on COVID-19 is analyzed, the need to comply with the principles of biosafety, competency base, which provide training for biotechnology and pharmaceuticals to create new effective drugs, including antiviral drugs, is emphasized. Introduction and deepening of knowledge of the principles of biosafety and biosecurity, the use of molecular PCR tests, serological ELISA tests, knowledge of the dangers of dual use of experimental studies affects almost all disciplines of "Biotechnology and Bioengineering" and "Pharmacy, Industrial Pharmacy".
