RESUMEN
Over the last few years, the world has witnessed a fast-paced digital transformation in many aspects of human life in healthcare owing to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Business and service providers had to adapt to digital changes quickly to overcome containment challenges and survive in an ever-changing world. Healthcare-related data collection, preservation, and analysis using digital technologies are helping pandemic mitigation strategies. With the rapid development of virtual systems integration methods and data acquisition techniques, digital twin (DT) technology is ushering in a new dawn for modern healthcare services and information systems. However, IoT-based information systems are vulnerable to privacy and security-related issues. This chapter presents an information system framework that consists of IoT with blockchain technology to mitigate vulnerability issues using lightweight cryptography. © 2023, IGI Global.

RESUMEN
The newly discovered infectious disease COVID-19 infected many people. The coronavirus causes respiratory problems and also gets affected in many parts of the human body. This virus is transmitted from one body to another body through the air or by touch. The only way to stop the transmission is to use a mask on the face and washing or sanitizing hands frequently. Sanitizers are liquid, gel, or foam which is designed to eliminate germs on skin or any other object. In daily lives also sanitization is necessary to prevent various germs which can make you ill. One of the main modes of contact with germs is our hands because in our daily lives we touch many infected surfaces and objects unknowingly hence to prevent any type of illness due to those germs, hand sanitization is necessary, especially for a person working in a closed and congested environment like offices, canteens, restaurants, schools, etc. This paper aims to design a low-cost Arduino-based automatic sanitizer dispenser-controlled door and it will be of great help in public places where people don't follow hand hygiene properly. This automatic sanitizer system will be placed at the entry point of the main gate and it will only allow entry from that gate if and only if the person goes through the sanitization process first. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

RESUMEN
A deadly novel coronavirus disease or severe acute respiratory syndrome (COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2) has taken the entire globe in its grip and claimed over more than 0.1 million lives across the globe in barely four months of time. This has attracted researchers, medical practitioners, scientists, biologist's fraternity, etc. all over the world to join hands in fighting the pandemic. Therefore, a detailed study in the field of coronavirus, especially related to the research status and gaps under a common umbrella, will further help in understanding and improving the current scenario. In the present paper, the scientometric analysis technique was utilized for understanding the recent research activities, scientific trends, and global involvement in the research on coronavirus. Herein, Web of Science database was used for searching the documents. The "articles” in the "English” language were considered in the study. The VoSviewer software was used for carrying out the scientometric analysis. The scanning of the research publication status on a year-on-year basis suggested an increase in the field of research on coronavirus in the recent past. From 2000 till 2020, a total of 9257 number of research articles were published. Among all other countries, USA has the most number of documents published. Analysis of the journals, authors, organizations, funding agencies of the countries and their co-operation network were also analyzed based on citations. Further, co-occurrence analysis of the different keywords suggested that coronavirus related diseases are known to precipitate severe acute respiratory syndrome in the patients. This is also true in the case of COVID-19. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
RESUMEN
This chapter discusses the challenges for the higher education sector during the coronavirus pandemic. It examines students' changing communication practices and shopping habits during the coronavirus pandemic. The chapter identifies research gaps, highlining the consequential effect on lesser-developed countries, the psychological effect of the transaction, and the vital role of management in handling the coronavirus pandemic. It also presents that the main objective should be to develop more resilient higher education teaching and learning provisions that are responsive and adaptive to future crises. Two case studies describe a group of undergraduate computer science students' views on digital communication channel utilization and shopping behaviour during the coronavirus pandemic. A multiple-choice questions and answers method provided the students' views regarding the relevant research agenda of this chapter. Finally, the students' feedback provides a view of higher education students' communication channel utilization patterns and purchasing behaviours. © 2022 IGI Global. All rights reserved.
