ABSTRACT
In light of the current pandemic of Covid-19, E-commerce and physical stores (brick and mortar) have been impacted a lot. Facebook and Instagram means of social media however are gaining more popularity from this pandemic as they announced Facebook Shops, a new e-commerce feature that allows businesses to easily list their products on Facebook and Instagram. This paper represents an exploratory effort on how E-commerce businesses in means of using social media platforms of Facebook and Instagram will benefit Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and how effective social media's platform in grabbing customers' attention and awareness. © 2023 American Institute of Physics Inc..

ABSTRACT
Currently, the world is facing major challenges in tackling COVID-19. It has affected many countries of the world in terms of human lives, economy and so many other aspects. Many organisations and scientists are working to find the way in which the spread of the COVID-19 can be minimised. One technology which can be effective in tackling this virus is Artificial Intelligence (AI). There are many ways in which AI can help in tackling with this virus. The foremost requirement of this situation is to find the cases of infections as early as possible so that it will not spread rapidly. In this paper, an artificial intelligence-based algorithm is proposed for the tracking of probable COVID-19 cases. The algorithm uses the mobile numbers of corona virus infected person as data for the forecasting. This technique will find the probable infected cases and help in controlling rapid spread of virus. This method will provide information regarding an infected person who had contacted to other persons by using forecasting method. As this is automated tracking system it will help in finding the probable virus infected cases with very short time.
ABSTRACT
Many unanswered questions remain about COVID-19 infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. One such looming concern is the possibility of reinfection of recovered cases. We conducted a literature review on various aspects of this possibility, including the case presentations of relapsed/re-infected patients, the immune response of production of neutralizing antibodies, immunity in response to coronavirus during SARS-CoV2 and MERS, possibility of false-positive results of real-time polymerase chain reaction. We concluded that further studies are required to establish whether relapse or reinfection is possible firmly. However, these possibilities point towards the needs of change in the protocol of isolation, quarantine, and discharge. It also undermines the role of the upcoming vaccine in disease prevention and treatment.

ABSTRACT
Several corona viral infections have created serious threats in the last couple of decades claiming the death of thousands of human beings. Recently, corona viral epidemic raised the issue of developing effective antiviral agents at the earliest to prevent further losses. Natural products have always played a crucial role in drug development process against various diseases, which resulted in screening of such agents to combat emergent mutants of corona virus. This review focuses on those natural compounds that showed promising results against corona viruses. Although inhibition of viral replication is often considered as a general mechanism for antiviral activity of most of the natural products, studies have shown that some natural products can interact with key viral proteins that are associated with virulence. In this context, some of the natural products have antiviral activity in the nanomolar concentration (e.g., lycorine, homoharringtonine, silvestrol, ouabain, tylophorine, and 7-methoxycryptopleurine) and could be leads for further drug development on their own or as a template for drug design. In addition, a good number of natural products with anti-corona virus activity are the major constituents of some common dietary supplements, which can be exploited to improve the immunity of the general population in certain epidemics.
