An Overview of Vaccine Adjuvants: Current Evidence and Future Perspectives.

Vaccinations are one of the most important preventive tools against infectious diseases. Over time, many different types of vaccines have been developed concerning the antigen component. Adjuvants are essential elements that increase the efficacy of vaccination practises through many different actions, especially acting as carriers, depots, and stimulators of immune responses. For many years, few adjuvants have been included in vaccines, with aluminium salts being the most commonly used adjuvant. However, recent research has focused its attention on many different new compounds with effective adjuvant properties and improved safety. Modern technologies such as nanotechnologies and molecular biology have forcefully entered the production processes of both antigen and adjuvant components, thereby improving vaccine efficacy. Microparticles, emulsions, and immune stimulators are currently in the spotlight for their huge potential in vaccine production. Although studies have reported some potential side effects of vaccine adjuvants such as the recently recognised ASIA syndrome, the huge worth of vaccines remains unquestionable. Indeed, the recent COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of vaccines, especially in regard to managing future potential pandemics. In this field, research into adjuvants could play a leading role in the production of increasingly effective vaccines.

Students’ Coping and Study Strategies: Did Emergency Remote Teaching Support the Students During the Pandemic?

Starting from winter 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced many challenges in all areas of human life in many countries. It also disrupted the usual functioning of educational institutions, generating an educational emergency where necessary changes needed to be introduced to continue the learning process. While distance learning as a field existed long before the advent of modern technologies, it has never been adopted on such a huge scale. On the one hand, it ensured access to education;on the other, it may have posed further challenges on students’ lives and affected their sense of isolation. The current paper is an attempt to understand university students’ Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) experiences: their perceptions of such a large-scale change in their lives, the change in their study modes and methods, and the factors associated with students’ appreciation of ERT. The results indicate that the students valued quite highly the ERT experience. Furthermore, it also partly allowed them to cope with the pandemic stress. ERT was especially effective when characterized by good organization of online lessons and interaction with teachers, while the synchronous or asynchronous modality of teaching didn’t appear to play a significant role in students’ appreciation. © 2022, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Analysis on the Development of Smart Logistics of Agricultural Products under Epidemic Situation

The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has not only affected people's normal life, but also brought certain impact on logistics. People's demand for agricultural products suddenly increased in a short time, and agricultural products logistics didn't have time to respond. Many new problems have been exposed, because there are many intermediate links in agricultural products logistics, so on the basis of higher logistics cost, it also increases the problem that logistics cannot guarantee timely supply. In addition, the price of agricultural products is low, and the cost of advanced technology is high, so it is impossible to use modern technology to trace the source of agricultural products. During the epidemic period, because the severity of the epidemic varies from place to place, it is particularly important to trace the source of products;at the same time, due to the sudden outbreak of the epidemic, it also brought challenges to emergency logistics, and the response of emergency logistics in various places was slow. However, the epidemic has brought difficulties to logistics and also created opportunities for the development of smart logistics. In order to avoid human contact, information registration systems have been adopted in various places, and unmanned driving, automatic warehousing, automatic distribution and logistics robots have been put into use, which has promoted the sharing of information by smart logistics using the Internet and the intelligentization of logistics operation process. © 2021 IEEE
