ABSTRACT
Choosing a proper outfit is one of the problems we deal with every day. Today, people tend to use online websites for shopping, and the COVID-19 situation forced this condition more than before. In this research, we proposed a new architecture for multi-fashion item retrieval from a website database. We deployed a CLIP transformer model instead of convolutional neural networks in a triplet network. We also added a long short-term memory network (LSTM) to automatically extract and code the image features to generate descriptive text for each input image. Our OutCLIP model succeeded in doing its task with 83% precision and 85% recall accuracy in multi-item retrieval. This model can be trained and used in fashion retrieval problems and improve the former proposed models. Considering the descriptive text and the image together gives the model a better understanding of the concept and improves its generalization. © 2023 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects humans, who are now developing a milder form of the illness. In addition to the use of available drugs, the local populations in Morocco used medicinal plants during the pandemic. The current study aimed to document and to research the level of use of traditional medicine using plants in Morocco. Ethnobotanical surveys were conducted on the perceptions and level of use of plants through a case study in North-West Morocco. The methodology is based on targeted surveys, from April to September 2021, of households that have had cases if nfection with COVID-19. Five hundred surveys were randomly and systematically distributed in the study area to highlight the medicinal use of plants to treat COVID-19 and its consequences for health and well-being. The results showed the attachment of the populations to traditional medicine with the use of plants available in the study area (local forest area and herbalists). The 23 species used by the populations in question against COVD-19 belong to 12 families. The analysis shows the dominance of the Lamiaceae family with nine species, followed by Asteraceae with three species. The Lamiaceae family have proven marked performance in the fight against COVID-19. The results obtained offer orientations for the enhancement of the beneficial effects of traditional medicine and clinical trials remain to be carried out. The current results highlight that flora can be a source for the discovery of medicinal agents active against COVID-19. © 2023 International Journal on Recent and Innovation Trends in Computing and Communication.

ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 crisis has disrupted the continuous care provided to cancer patients. In MBC or ABC, cancerous cells can break free from a tumor site and once they are in the bloodstream, the cells can travel to other parts of the body, spreading the disease to other organs. In most parts of the world, cancers are becoming increasingly survivable. However, they are still one of the leading causes of death. Death can occur because of the actual tumors, or death can occur because of associated complications. Having cancer and undergoing certain treatments can weaken the immune system, putting MBC patients at higher risk for developing an infection that could lead to sepsis. And being in COVID-19 era has significantly increased this dual challenge. MBC patients are particularly susceptible to developing sepsis. For example, the risk of developing sepsis is increased 10 times by the presence of any type of cancer. There are a number of reasons why metastatic patients, are more susceptible to developing sepsis. Weakness due to malnutrition, illness or fragility from age, are some of the key reasons, besides cancer complications. ABC patients have varying degrees of immunosuppression, making them more likely to have complications. In the MBC patients' fight against cancer, they should arm themselves with facts about how to prevent infections as their weakened immune systems can lead to unattended infections that can progress to sepsis. Getting an infection or developing sepsis is a medical emergency. Sepsis is the final common pathway to death from most infectious diseases worldwide, including viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 (the virus responsible of COVID-19). Therefore, prevention is key and there is an increasingly shared responsibility by all cancer stakeholders to raise awareness about preventing cancer complications, especially related to infections and sepsis. Patients with advanced cancer are presumed to be at increased risk from COVID-19 infection-related fatality due to underlying malignancy, treatment-related immunosuppression, or increased comorbidities. And since research shows that COVID-19 in MBC patients is associated with a significantly increased risk of case fatality, this suggests the need for proactive strategies to reduce likelihood of infection. MBC patients usually suffer from multiple side effects, such as vomiting, diarrhea, among many others, which not only compromise their quality of life, but also could be confused with treatment side effects at a time they might be symptoms for something more fatal than treatment side effects, such as sepsis. It is extremely important for all cancer stakeholders to coordinate efforts in prevention and raising awareness about preventing infections and be aware of and very alerted about any early signs of infection and sepsis. Raising awareness among patients and their caregivers about early symptoms of sepsis can save lives, which should be the focus of any patient advocacy program.
ABSTRACT
Video clip description: Neglecting the infection control measure during COVID-19 pandemic at workplace from the employee like not disclose having respiratory symptoms before showing to work, sharing personal items, not wearing the mask all time or follow cough etiquette and social distances. lead to transmit the infection among the healthcare workers, result to be infected and expose to an infected case. Objective: Motivate the awareness of COVID-19 Prevention measures at Workplace.
