The goal of this study is to develop a comparative analysis between countries having introduced a high or low level of restrictions and control measures in society to cope with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic crisis to assess if a policy response based on many pervasive compulsory measures is more effective to support a reduction of negative impact of COVID-19 on health of people and socioeconomic systems. In particular, the idea here is to analyze if countries with high restrictions and mandatory measures have lower fatality rates of COVID-19 and better economic performances than countries having policy responses based on little restrictions. The results of this analysis here seem to be that: Ž a strict policy of many restrictions and obligations does not reduce negative effects of COVID-19 pandemic in society in terms of lower mortality per 1,000 people and a lower-case fatality rate than countries with little restrictions (findings here show 1.19 vs. 0.89 and 0.82% vs. 0.43%, for countries with high and low restrictions respectively) Ž countries with high restrictions and obligations reduce the economic performance in terms of lower average growth of quarterly Gross Domestic Product than countries with little restrictions (0.14% vs. 0.38%, for countries with high and low restrictions respectively). This result can be explained with the fact that harsh containment policies are not a sufficient strategy to reduce the negative impact of new coronavirus in society, because there are manifold factors that support the diffusion of the novel coronavirus and mortality of COVID-19. Many countries applied hard and pervasive restrictions with the objective to reduce pandemic diffusion and support economic growth, but the evidence of this study shows that it is not a policy having effectiveness. These results can provide main information to extend knowledge in these topics to improve the crisis management and design best practices and effective policy responses to cope with COVID-19 and similar pandemic crisis.

Conclusions Lau et al (2021) argue that in the presence of a continuous global COVID-19 pandemic threat, the mortality rate is a main indicator to evaluate the real effects of COVID-19 in society (cf., Liu et al, 2021). In this context, one of the goals of nations to cope with COVID-19 pandemic crisis is to mitigate mortality and case fatality rate (cf., Coccia, 2020a.…”

One of the fundamental problems in COVID-19 pandemic crisis is whether vaccinations are a sufficient strategy to reduce mortality and mitigate negative effects of this novel infectious disease in society. This study confronts the problem here by developing an analysis of the relation between people fully vaccinated and mortality between countries to clarify sources and effects of COVID-19 pandemic in society. Methodology applies correlation and regression analyses based on global data of more than 150 countries. Findings reveal a strong positive correlation between share of people fully vaccinated and COVID-19 mortality in January 2022 (r= .65, p-value <.01). Multiple analysis of regression shows that a 1% higher share of people fully vaccinated, increases the expected deaths per 100 000 people by 0.7% (p-value < 0.001), controlling GDP per capita between countries. These results seem to suggest that COVID-19 vaccinations are not a sufficient strategy to reduce the negative impact of the new infectious disease in society, because socioeconomic and environmental factors, mutations of the novel coronavirus and technological aspects of countries (e.g., equipment of non-invasive ventilators in countries) affect the spread and mortality of this pandemic between countries. Overall, then, a pandemic policy only based on vaccinations cannot cope with the eradication of COVID-19 pandemic because manifold factors drive the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 and generate a lot of negative impacts in economic systems, though high levels of vaccinations in some countries.

“…Now, selected R&D investments support the development of new and improved sensors with effective research planning processes directed to users for specific applications [ 129 ]. The description here of new technological directions and characteristics of sensors, having improved performance capabilities and applications in different settings, can help policymakers to enhance the allocation of R&D investments in private and public research organizations for scientific and technological development, and technology transfer of new sensors in society [ 56 , 64 , 130 , 131 , 132 , 133 , 134 , 135 , 136 ].…”

Scientific developments and new technological trajectories in sensors play an important role in understanding technological and social change. The goal of this study is to develop a scientometric analysis (using scientific documents and patents) to explain the evolution of sensor research and new sensor technologies that are critical to science and society. Results suggest that new directions in sensor research are driving technological trajectories of wireless sensor networks, biosensors and wearable sensors. These findings can help scholars to clarify new paths of technological change in sensors and policymakers to allocate research funds towards research fields and sensor technologies that have a high potential of growth for generating a positive societal impact.
