Background The early stage of the COVID‐19 pandemic was a critical time for increasing loneliness, especially for older people. However, there is insufficient existing research on associated interventions and their effectiveness. Aim This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an 8‐week online interactive course on the loneliness, depression, social support, and quality of life (QOL) of older adults in the community during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Methods A single‐blind randomized controlled trial was conducted to collect data from a community in Taiwan. Eighty‐nine participants recruited from long‐term care institutions were randomly divided into an experimental group (n = 44) and a control group (n = 45). Participants in the experimental group received an 8‐week (Monday to Friday) intensive online interactive course, whereas those in the control group watched 8 weeks (Monday to Friday) of unidirectional online video programs. Results Significant differences were observed in the UCLA Loneliness Scale and in both the psychological health and social relationship domains of the WHO Quality of Life‐BREF Scale. In other words, compared with those in the control group, participants in the experimental group experienced more significant improvements in the state of their loneliness as well as QOL in the psychological health and social relationship domains (without the physical health/environment domains) after taking the online interactive course. Conclusions The results of this study showed that the 8‐week online interactive course could effectively improve the loneliness, the psychological health domain, and the social relationship domain of the QOL of the older adults of a particular community during the ongoing pandemic.

“…This has caused an explosion of biomedical literature regarding the disease, its virus, and potential drug candidates. Several traditional literature review surveys have been proposed on the COVID-19 pandemic 19 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 focusing on several key issues including symptoms, the coincidence of COVID-19 and other diseases, and various treatments. However, these studies have limitations, particularly in that the literature reviews are often topic-specific, limited to a few diseases or chemicals, as well as time-consuming and labor-intensive.…”

“…Among the cases investigated, the possible causes of the incidents in chemical plants were related to technical, physical or human, and organizational factors. For example, on May 7, 2020, styrene monomer vapor leaked out of a storage tank on the premises of the LG Polymers unit located in India [ 3 ] due to the COVID-19 lockdown [ 4 , 5 ].…”

Emulsion polymerization is the most applied method in the vinyl acetate monomer (VAM)–polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) process. However, the flammable property and unexpected bulk polymerization for the reactant and product may occur in the batch reactor or storage tank. VAM is reactive enough to decompose readily into free radicals and then, initiate the polymerization, which may contribute to heat accumulation due to the monomer, initiator, and solvent mixtures. This study attempts to analyze the exothermic reaction and compare the thermal runaway potential for various VAM solutions during PVAc polymerizations. Summarily, 50%, 70%, and 100% of VAM solutions reacting with 2,2’–azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) readily increase the self-heating rate with their concentration from adiabatic calorimetric tests. Furthermore, kinetic parameters of 50, 70, and 100 mass% VAM solutions were evaluated to elucidate the self-heating model associated with thermal analysis and to determine heat production mechanisms that are practical to proactive safety protocol for the PVAc emulsion process.
