“…Moreover, academics are turning to bibliometric surveys to facilitate navigating through the scientific databases to synthesize and simplify access to the findings of research on COVID-19. Despite the fact that COVID-19 bibliometric studies have been carried out in the fields of biology and medicine ( Bonilla-Aldana et al, 2020 ), socioeconomics ( Verma and Gustafsson, 2020 ) and tourism ( Sigala, 2020 ), no study of this ilk has explored the growing number of COVID-19-related scientific publications in the field of environmental research. The current article therefore is the first bibliometric analysis making use of SciMAT software to evaluate the publications on COVID-19 linked to environmental studies between 1 December 2019 and 6 September 2020.…”

“… Verma and Gustafsson (2020) in the sphere of socioeconomics conducted a bibliometric study of COVID-19 literature in the domains of business and management so as to identify current areas of research and propose future lines of research. Sigala (2020) , in the field of tourism, likewise undertook a critical review on the impacts and implications of COVID-19 so as to offer solutions to reset the industry. At the same time, efforts are being conducted to build COVID-19-oriented databases of scientific papers to continually update the scientific contributions to the subject.…”

The fight against COVID-19 since January 2020 has become the top priority of more than 200 countries. In order to offer solutions to eradicate this global pandemic, the scientific community has published hundreds of articles covering a wide range of areas of knowledge. With the aim of synthesizing these publications, academics are resorting to bibliometric analyses from the perspectives of the disciplines such as biology, medicine, socioeconomics and tourism. Yet no bibliometric analysis has explored the diffuse and little-known growth of COVID-19 scientific publications in the field of environmental studies. The current study is the first of this type to fill this research gap. It has resorted to SciMAT software to evaluate the main topics, authors and journals of publications on the subject of COVID-19 combined with environmental studies spanning the period between 1 December 2019 and 6 September 2020. The search yielded a collection of 440 articles published in scientific journals indexed on by Web of Science and Scopus databases. These publications can be broken down into six main themes: (i) a sharp reduction in air pollution and an improvement of the level of water pollution; (ii) the relationship of wind speed (positive), ultraviolet radiation (positive) and humidity (negative) with the rate of infections; (iii) the effect of the pandemic on the food supply chain and waste habits; (iv) wastewater monitoring offers a great potential as an early warning sign of COVID-19 transmission; (v) artificial intelligence and smart devices can be of great use in monitoring citizen mobilization; and (vi) the lessons gleaned from the pandemic that help define actions to mitigate climate change. The results of the current study therefore offer an agenda for future research and constitute a starting point for academics in the field of environmental studies to evaluate the effects of COVID-19.

“…Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, various studies were conducted to investigate its effect on the economy, including its impact on the correlations between crude oil and agricultural futures [ 1 ], co-movement between COVID-19 and Bitcoin [ 2 ], the tourism industry [ 3 ], the covariance between temperature, COVID-19 and exchange rate in Wuhan [ 4 ], Italian manufacturing firms [ 5 ], B2B sales forces [ 6 ], efficiency of equity and cryptocurrency markets [ 7 ], airline employment [ 8 ], entrepreneurial uncertainty [ 9 ], consumer behavior [ 10 ], marketing innovations [ 11 ], corporate social responsibility and marketing [ 12 ], and randomness and mutual information between markets [ 13 ], to name few. In addition, other interesting studies focused on the forecasting of new cases [ 14 ] and knowledge sharing and collaboration for preparedness to fight the pandemics [ 15 ].…”

The main purpose of our paper is to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on randomness in volatility series of world major markets and to examine its effect on their interconnections. The data set includes equity (Bitcoin and Standard and Poor’s 500), precious metals (Gold and Silver), and energy markets (West Texas Instruments, Brent, and Gas). The generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity model is applied to the return series. The wavelet packet Shannon entropy is calculated from the estimated volatility series to assess randomness. Hierarchical clustering is employed to examine interconnections between volatilities. We found that (i) randomness in volatility of the S&P500 and in the volatility of precious metals were the most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, while (ii) randomness in energy markets was less affected by the pandemic than equity and precious metal markets. Additionally, (iii) we showed an apparent emergence of three volatility clusters: precious metals (Gold and Silver), energy (Brent and Gas), and Bitcoin and WTI, and (iv) the S&P500 volatility represents a unique cluster, while (v) the S&P500 market volatility was not connected to the volatility of Bitcoin, energy, and precious metal markets before the pandemic. Moreover, (vi) the S&P500 market volatility became connected to volatility in energy markets and volatility in Bitcoin during the pandemic, and (vii) the volatility in precious metals is less connected to volatility in energy markets and to volatility in Bitcoin market during the pandemic. It is concluded that (i) investors may diversify their portfolios across single constituents of clusters, (ii) investing in energy markets during the pandemic period is appealing because of lower randomness in their respective volatilities, and that (iii) constructing a diversified portfolio would not be challenging as clustering structures are fairly stable across periods.

“…Further, good food practice strategies to boost immune responses with immunity eliciting (boosting) agents have positive impact in nullifying the severity of SARS-CoV-2 [49]. Assessments of global changes in present endemic/pandemic [50,51] are crucial to identify impacts for future endemic/pandemic and their mitigation and management. Likewise, technologies and devices for effective tracking and tracing, rapid screening of infections [52][53][54] are important to identify the current epidemic, and eliminate the future outbreaks.…”

Background: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a recently discovered severe and contagious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and has received worldwide attention. The risk of COVID-19 is serious for the infected persons of chronic diseases as well as vulnerable populations including elder group. Still, the present scenario of scarcity of effective treatment options and limited recovery rate of ongoing treatment are prevailed in Nepal. This study aims to analyze the spatial distribution and trends of COVID-19 with the help of geographic information system (GIS) software and outlook future preventive perspectives.Methods: In this research work, we used GIS tool ArcGIS 10.4.1 to map the distribution patterns of population of COVID-19 cases. Federal, provincial and district level daily cases data of COVID-19 confirmed, cured and death from 23rd January to 13th July 2020 were obtained from the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP), Government of Nepal. In addition, we reviewed several peer-reviewed research papers to summarize the global scenarios and preventive perspectives on COVID-19.Results: In context to Nepal SARS-CoV-2 has spread throughout the country infecting 16,945 persons in all 77 districts, as of 13th July, 2020. Confirmed, cured and death cases experienced an upward trend up to 1st July, 2020 followed by downward trend as of 13th July, 2020. Over 70% of total confirmed cases of reported COVID-19 patients were from the lowland-plain area. Spatial clustering suggested that provinces 2 and 5 were at potentially increased risk of COVID-19, and Province 1 and Bagmati province could be grouped as future "hot spots". In addition, we proposed four strategies namely, identification of the key medical and social elements, discovery and development of treatment options for a future pandemic, investing in ethno-medicine research and epidemic preparedness of health care system to decrease the efficacy of calamities of future pandemics.Conclusion: Our study demonstrates one of the best ways to protect; control and sluggish transmission of SARS-CoV-2 could be achieved by monitoring active ties using GIS spatial analysis. And, the severity of future pandemic could be minimized by integrative action on the abovementioned four different preventive master plans.
