Assessing the Effect of Digital Social Media towards Face to Face Communication during Pandemic COVID-19 in Higher Educational Institutions

This paper will assess the effect of social media on face-to-face (F2F) communication among students in a higher education institution. Previous scholars found that social media is a platform to connect people, especially in the current pandemic COVID-19. However, another study has shown the negative effect of social media among university students because it hampers students' real-life experiences. A literature survey has been selected to explore the effect of social media on F2F communication among students in a higher education institution. This paper also highlights the significant role of social media in higher education institutions during the pandemic of Covid19.

HISTOPATHOLOGICAL EFFECT OF CHLORINE HEPATOTOXICITY IN MICE

Chlorine is the most common chemical agent that used in the sterilization of water, whether it be across the board or specifically in Iraq. The aim of this study was to look into the livers of mice that exposed to various chlorine concentrations in drinking water. 30 mature male albino mice were allocated into three groups at random and equally. Each group included ten mice from different labor groups who were given ppm (3, 9 ppm). According to the results of histopathological examination, chlorine consumption generated gross pathogenic effect in clinical practice in livers tissue in entire treatment groups, with varying degrees of illness according to the chlorine concentration. Such as degeneration (D) of hepatocytes with nucleus size increase (NE), congestion in the central vein, which was encircled by lymphocyte infiltration (LI) and increase thickness of blood vessels wall.

Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic Lockdown on Night Sky Brightness, Temperature and Air Quality Index: Case Study in Shah Alam, Selangor

In this preliminary study, we compared Night Sky Brightness (NSB) in Shah Alam during the implementation of Movement Control Order (MCO) lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic in June 2021 with the same duration in June 2020. Sky Quality Meter (SQM) was used to measure NSB in unit Magnitude per Square Arc Second (MSAS) while temperature was in Celsius and they were collected in Shah Alam, Selangor. The air quality information was obtained from the Malaysian AQI website. This project investigates the impact of economic and social activities during MCO lockdown to NSB, air pollution and temperature. Within the analysed time frame, the results indicate that there are some effects produced by MCO lockdown to the observed light or NSB, temperature and air pollution. On the average, the NSB, temperature and AQI have decreased by 0.25, 1.55 and 1.0, respectively. This shows that during the MCO lockdown, the air is cleaner and cooler;and the sky is darker which originates from improved air quality due to less air and road traffics;plus less industrial and human outdoor activities. © 2022 IEEE.

Detecting Distributed Denial of Service in Network Traffic with Deep Learning

COVID-19 has altered the way businesses throughout the world perceive cyber security. It resulted in a series of unique cyber-crime-related conditions that impacted society and business. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) has dramatically increased in recent year. Automated detection of this type of attack is essential to protect business assets. In this research, we demonstrate the use of different deep learning algorithms to accurately detect DDoS attacks. We show the effectiveness of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithms to detect DDoS attacks in computer networks with high accuracy. The LSTM algorithms have been trained and tested on the widely used NSL-KDD dataset. We empirically demonstrate our proposed model achieving high accuracy (~97.37%). We also show the effectiveness of our model in detecting 22 different types of attacks. © 2022, International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications. All Rights Reserved.

In silico identification of potential allosteric inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 helicase

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic ravages the globe causing unprecedented health and economic challenges. As the world prospects for a cure, scientists are looking critically at strategic protein targets within the SARS-CoV-2 that have therapeutic significance. The Helicase is one of such targets and it is an enzyme that affects all facets of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA metabolism. This study is aimed at identifying small molecules from natural products that have strong binding affinity with and exhibit inhibitory activity against an allosteric site (Pocket 26) on the SARS-CoV-2 Helicase. The molecular docking simulations of SARS-CoV-2 Helicase (QHD43415-12.pdb) against a library of small molecules obtained from edible African plants was executed using PyRx. Triphenylmethane, which had a docking score of-7.4 kcal/mol on SARS CoV-2 Helicase was chosen as a reference compound. Based on the molecular descriptors of the compounds as provided by PubChem, a virtual screening for oral bioavailability was performed. Further screening for molar refractivity, pharmacokinetic properties, and bioactivity were performed using SwissADME, pkCSM, and Molinspiration webservers respectively. Molecular dynamic simulation and analyses were performed using the Galaxy webserver which uses the GROMACS software. The lead compounds are Gibberellin A12, A20, and A51 obtained from Green peas and the Okra plant. Gibberellin A20 and A51 were predicted to perform better than the standard and Gibberellin A51 showed the greatest inhibitory activity against SARS-CoV-2 Helicase. © 2021 Rowaiye et al and the authors.

Strengthening of social capital through penta helix model in handling covid-19 pandemic

The Covid-19 pandemic has implications for various human life activities, not only in the health aspect but also has a broad impact on the social, cultural, and economic dimensions. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen social capital through Penta helix's synergy (business, government, community, academia, and the mass media). The collaborative model of social capital of the five actors is described in this article. Methodologically, the approach used in this research is qualitative-participatory. The researcher and the five elements of the actor identify potential social capital and formulate a synergy model in handling Covid-19. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussion, and documentation. Furthermore, the data analysis was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the strengthening of social capital through the synergy of the Penta helix has effectively helped in handling the Covid-19 pandemic. Penta helix's synergy results in knowledge products that are disseminated through stickers, banners, t-shirts, and masks, which then has implications for the formation of habits that comply with health protocols.

Social workers practices in handling corona virus pandemic with an multisystemic approach

This research discussed how social work practices in handled Corona Virus Pandemic with a Multisystemic Approach. As we understood, the Coruna Virus threat was being said by the World Health Organization on December 31, 2019. World Health Organization (WHO) said that there had been a Corona Virus pneumonia in Wuhan City Hubei province, China. The development of the Corona Virus threat was not only located in mainland China, but it can spread over 120 countries so that the World Health agency on January 30, 2020, states the Novel Corona (COVID19) was a threat to world society. The speed of its spread encourages WHO to gava statement on February 12, 2020, the name Coronavirus Disease with a designation (COVID19). Indonesia discovered 2 cases of people reported had positive after the test. In this research, researchers used a qualitative method approach, with a descriptive, whereas the results would give an accurate picture of how social work practices in handling Coronavirus with Multisystemic approach. Researchers looked to the Multisystemic approach. It is on judging Corona Virus can realize when clients have their awareness increased and take control of the disease, and also prevent panic situation among people.
