SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic from a Criminological Perspective - Investigating Antisocial Behaviour Changes in Germany

Schwarzer, Kira January 2020 (has links)
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is not only a health crisis, but also shatters the socialand economic lives through regulations and social restrictions. As seen duringSARS 2002-2003, measures like social restrictions can impact behaviournegatively, leading to discrimination, stigmatisation and xenophobia. There is alack of studies on antisocial behaviour and crime during health crises, such aspandemics. Related studies on disaster and crime gave mixed results, with somesuggesting an increase in prosocial rather than antisocial behaviour. Using acriminological perspective, German news media from January 1, 2020 untilMarch 31, 2020 were analysed. These media sources were the tabloid Bild andtwo main elite newspapers, Süddeutsche Zeitung and Frankfurter AllgemeineZeitung. Analyses were conducted quantitatively based on frequencies, means andword counts. Additionally, a qualitative media content analysis regarding events,behaviour and story tone was undertaken. The aim was to reveal indications ofreported behavioural changes. For a complete overview, both antisocial andprosocial behaviours were included. Results indicate that antisocial behaviour,such as ignoring of governmental advice and rules, and discriminatory behaviours,as well as crimes like fraud became more prominent over time than prosocial andhelping behaviour. This study shows only a fragment of the situation in Germany,but highlights the importance of continuous assessments of human behaviourduring dynamic and critical times.

Capital flows during times of crises : A study of 21st century economic crises and their impact on FDI-flows

Andreas, Repeta, Carl, Palm January 2021 (has links)
Foreign direct investment has been sharply affected by the global SARS-CoV-19 pandemic, as quarantine measures have decimated global trade, aviation and domestic economies through lockdowns which have wreaked havoc on markets. Macroeconomic indicators including GDP growth rates, unemployment, business confidence, consumer confidence, retail sales and inflation have all been negatively affected due to the simultaneous supply & demand shock caused by the pandemic. Economic crises are a regularly occurring feature, with a degree of cyclicality determining their emergence. The uniqueness of crises, in their appearance and dissipation, stems from a large variance in relevant macroeconomic, fundamental and societal factors giving rise to the crisis in the first place, with the uniqueness being bound and pertinent to a selected period of time in history under which they occurred. In this thesis we explored the impact of the two most significant economic crises of the 21st century, the Great Recession and the ongoing SARS-CoV-19 pandemic and their impact on capital flows, specifically on FDI-flows in two developed markets and two emerging markets. Our findings suggest that FDI-flows display a high synchronicity with stages of economic cycles, and tend to decrease during economic recessions and increase during economic expansions.

Comprehensive virtual screening of 4.8 k flavonoids reveals novel insights into allosteric inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 M<sup>PRO</sup>

Since flavonoids show antiviral activity, several in silico works have proposed them as potential SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibitors. Nonetheless, there is reason to doubt certain results given the lack of consideration for flavonoid promiscuity or main protease plasticity, usage of short library sizes, absence of control molecules and/or the limitation of the methodology to a single target site. Here, we report a virtual screening study where dorsilurin E, euchrenone a11, sanggenol O and CHEMBL2171598 are proposed to inhibit main protease through different pathways. Remarkably, novel structural mechanisms were observed after sanggenol O and CHEMBL2171598 bound to experimentally proven allosteric sites. The former drastically affected the active site, while the latter triggered a hinge movement which has been previously reported for an inactive SARS-CoV main protease mutant. The use of a curated database of 4.8 k flavonoids, combining two well-known docking software (AutoDock Vina and AutoDock4.2), molecular dynamics and MMPBSA, guaranteed an adequate analysis and robust interpretation. These criteria can be considered for future screening campaigns against SARS-CoV-2 main protease. / Consejo Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación Tecnológica / Revisión por pares

Microscopic morphomolecular characterization of humanized mouse models of SARS-CoV-2 implanted with human fetal lung xenografts

Montanaro, Paige 24 November 2021 (has links)
INTRODUCTION: SARS-CoV-2 is a novel virus from the coronavirus family that emerged in the Hubei province of China in December 2019 and rapidly spread throughout the world. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 causes coronavirus disease 19 (COVID19) which can be fatal. There is an obvious and pressing need for research surrounding SARS-CoV-2 that will aid in eradication of this pandemic. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to absolve the dire need for small animal models of human disease that demonstrate hallmark pathological features of infection. Due to ethical and financial obstacles, the use of animals that closely resemble human immunity, such as non-human primates, is often not a viable option. For this reason, there is a push to develop small animal models that can mimic human disease responses, particularly those in viral infections that have a narrow species tropism. To achieve this in the context of the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, we studied various mouse models and their capacity to become infected with and mount an immune response to SARS-CoV-2. Our goal was to identify a model that sufficiently mimics severe COVID19 seen in humans as well as provide molecular insight into pathways that prevent the development of severe disease. METHODS: NRG-L and HIS-NRGF-L mice were subcutaneously implanted with human fetal lung xenografts and infected with SARS-CoV-2. Tissues were stained with H&E for histopathological scoring. NRG-L and HIS-NRGF-L tissues were fluorescently labeled using 2 different multiplex immunohistochemistry panels. Slides were digitized by a Vectra Polaris™ fluorescent whole slide scanner and digital analysis was completed using HALO™. Statistical analysis was conducted using GraphPad Prism™ 9.0.1. RESULTS: Infected NRG-L mice present extensive histopathological manifestations when compared to uninfected controls. Cumulative histology scores at both 2 and 7DPI were increased when compared to uninoculated fLX. Neutrophil influx, intra-airspace necrosis, capillary fibrin thrombi, and presence of syncytial cells were the most significant independent observations that contributed to the increased cumulative score. Together these findings indicate that fLX inoculated with SARS-CoV-2 faithfully recapitulate several features of diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) described in severe COVID-19. HIS-NRGF-L mice displayed decreased influx of neutrophils, intra-airway necrosis, and syncytial cells when compared to NRG-L fLX. Hemorrhage was decreased at both 2 and 7 DPI for HIS-NRGF-L fLX compared to NRG-L fLX. Cumulative histology scores were decreased in HIS-NRGF-L fLX at 7 DPI when compared to NRG-L fLX. Taken together these findings support the hypothesis that human myeloid and lymphoid infiltrates suppress or prevent the disparate host response observed in NRGL-L fLX that manifested in pronounced diffuse alveolar damage. CONCLUSION: Using digital image analysis of multiplex immunohistochemistry paired with semi-quantitative histopathological scoring, this study characterized important hallmark lesions observed in severe COVID19 as seen in small animal models. NRG-L and HIS-NRGF-L mice that are subcutaneously implanted with human fetal lung xenografts are susceptible to infection with SARS-CoV-2 and can produce severe and moderate disease phenotypes respectively. Co-engraftment with human fetal lung tissue and human immune system components in HIS-NRGF-L mice suppresses the divergent host response that is observed in NRG-L mice. For this reason, NRG-L mice engrafted with fLX are an ideal small animal model of severe COVID19, whereas HIS-NRGF-L mice severe as a valuable and informative model for deciphering molecular mechanisms driving severe COVID-19 that will serve as targets for therapeutic development.
