Use of Classification Techniques for the Analysis of Data Related to COVID-19 in México

SARS-CoV-2 has bought many challenges to the world, socially, economically, and healthy habits. Even to those that have not experienced the sickness itself, and even though it has changed the lifestyle of the people across the world nation wise the effects of COVID-19 need to be analyzed and understood, analyzing a large amount of data is a process by itself, in this document details the analysis of the data collected from México by the Secretary of Health, the data was analyzed by implementing statistics, and classification methods known as K-Means, C&R Tree and TwoStep Cluster, using processed and unprocessed data. With the main emphasis on K-means. The study has the purpose of detecting what makes the highest impact on a person, to get sick, and succumb to the effects of the disease. In the study, it was found that in México the age of risk is at its highest at the age of 57, and the ones at the highest risk of mortality are those with hypertension and obesity, with those that present both at the age of 57 having a 19.37% of death. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Precarious Hope: Situated Perspectives on the COVID-19 Pandemic from Undergraduate Students in Manchester, UK

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the lives of young people, transforming and disrupting education provision, employment opportunities, social practices, mobilities, and experiences of health and well-being. In the UK context, the pandemic can be understood as both a unique event and as a further addition to the intersecting crises—including austerity and Brexit—that are increasingly shaping and constraining youth experiences and aspirations and exacerbating precarity and inequality. In this article, seven undergraduate students from Manchester, UK, with two academic co-authors, employ a co-productive approach to reflect on our experiences of the pandemic. Our autoethnographic accounts draw attention to the situated effects of the pandemic, and its intersection with existing challenges and pressures, including the gig economy, mental and physical ill health, and transnational family networks. At the same time, our narratives capture a sense of precarious hope: hopefulness that is both a product of precarity and itself precarious, opening up new possibilities for collectively imagining and pursuing viable and meaningful futures in uncertain times. Supporting our endeavours requires the inclusion of youth voices in research, policy, and practice;work we begin here. © 2021, The Author(s).

A type I IFN, prothrombotic hyperinflammatory neutrophil signature is distinct for COVID-19 ARDS

Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe critical condition with a high mortality that is currently in focus given that it is associated with mortality caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Neutrophils play a key role in the lung injury characteristic of non-COVID-19 ARDS and there is also accumulating evidence of neutrophil mediated lung injury in patients who succumb to infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Methods: We undertook a functional proteomic and metabolomic survey of circulating neutrophil populations, comparing patients with COVID-19 ARDS and non-COVID-19 ARDS to understand the molecular basis of neutrophil dysregulation.
