Watershed-Scale Stream Restoration Experimental Design: Rigorous Tools to Obtain Definitive Results
Authors: Rogers Mark , Selker John , Peterson James , Arismendi Ivan
Published: July 2021

Despite significant investments in watershed-scale restoration projects,
evaluation and documentation of their impacts is often limited by
inadequate experimental design. This project aimed to strengthen study
designs by quantifying and elucidating sources of error in
paired-watershed experiments and evaluating the statistical tools that
detect and quantify population-level changes from watershed-scale
restoration. Meta-analysis of 32 BACI experiments revealed that
synchrony between paired-populations was both weak ( ρ~̵̅ = 0.18) and
unrelated to the primary experimental error (r = 0.01), the degree to
which paired-populations vary independently in time ( independent
variance). Instead, it was found that the sum of the paired-population
temporal variances ( total variance), accounted for 91% of the
variability that controls statistical power. These findings demonstrate
that 1) synchrony in paired-populations does not influence the primary
error in BACI field experiments and 2) the magnitude of temporal
fluctuations is primarily responsible for this error. The second study
component, hypothetical BACI simulations, mathematically relates
spatial, temporal and sampling errors to the independent variance and
power. Design guidance based on these findings are provided to ensure
that future restoration experiments have maximum probability of
detecting a present restoration impact. We recommend planners quantify
error sources directly from pilot studies and apply the tools provided
by this research to estimate statistical power in their monitoring
designs. Lastly, we propose a paired-reach design which provides a
powerful platform to conduct replicated local-scale restoration
experiments, which can build understanding of restoration-ecological
mechanisms.
Rest contrast echocardiography unmasks hidden wall motion abnormalities in patients with chest pain. A case series and review of pertinent literature.
Authors: Suma Sergio , Tuttolomondo Domenico , Gaibazzi Nicola
Published: July 2021

We present a case series of three patients that underwent myocardial
contrast echocardiography (MCE) in the setting of recent chest pain, as
paradigmatic examples of the usefulness of contrast-echocardiography
with very-low mechanical index imaging in the context of rest wall
motion assessment. Moreover, we analysed the pertinent literature about
the use of rest MCE in the context of chest pain of unknown origin,
showing its diagnostic and prognostic impact. We think that MCE could
play a key role in detecting chest pain subtended by previously unknown
CAD. For example, in pts without significant ECG modifications or in
whom high sensitivity troponins show only borderline increase (still
below the upper limit) or have no clearly significant delta. In such
cases the more sensitive evaluation of WM powered by MCE could add
diagnostic information, above all in pts with severe CAD but apparently
normal WM at standard echocardiography.

Authors: Tomanovic Nada , Tomic Ana , Mikic Anton , Milovanovic Jovica , Djordjevic Vladimir , Trivic Aleksandar
Published: July 2021

Background/Aim. Numerous histopathological parameters, such as cartilage penetration, perineural and lymphovascular invasion, presence of metastatic tissue in regional lymph nodes (LNs), extranodal extension (ENE) of nodal metastases, as well as the presence of cancer tissue on resection borders, are all important factors influencing survival in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). The aim of the study was to determine if there is an association between cancer surface area (CSA) and these histopathological characteristics. The presence of ENE of metastatic tissue in regional LNs was also investigated. Methods. In a retrospective study, one hundred and forty cases of LSCC were revised and processed after total laryngectomy. The cases were found in the archives of the Histopathology Laboratory of the Clinic for Otorhinolaryngology and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Clinical Center of Serbia. Results. A significant difference was found in CSA depending on cancer penetration into the thyroid cartilage, perineural invasion, and positive resection margins. Cancers with larger CSA were more common in the advanced T stage. Metastases were found in 36 out of 72 (50%) neck LN samples submitted for evaluation. The difference in CSA was also found depending on the presence of metastatic tissue in regional LNs. ENE was present in 69.4% of involved LNs, and it was more frequent in LNs 3 cm in size or larger. Conclusion. There is a significant difference in CSA depending on the presence of cartilage penetration, perineural invasion, presence of cancer tissue on resection borders, and presence of metastases in regional LNs. Larger cancers tend to be of a higher T stage. ENE is more common in LNs 3 cm in size or larger.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are common

conditions with a rising burden. Yet, there are significant management gaps between clinical

guidelines and practice in patients with NAFLD and NASH. Further, there is no single global

guiding strategy for the management of NAFLD and NASH. The American Gastroenterological

Association, in collaboration with seven professional associations, convened an international

conference comprising 32 experts in gastroenterology, hepatology, endocrinology, and primary

care providers from the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia. Conference content was informed by

the results of a national NASH Needs Assessment Survey. The participants reviewed and

discussed published literature on global burden, screening, risk stratification, diagnosis, and

management of individuals with NAFLD, including those with NASH. Participants identified

promising approaches for clinical practice and prepared a comprehensive, unified strategy for

primary care providers and relevant specialists encompassing the full spectrum of NAFLD/NASH

care. They also identified specific high-yield targets for clinical research and called for a unified,

international public health response to NAFLD and NASH.

Introduction: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is defined as sensorineural hearing loss of 30 dB or more over 3 contiguous audiometric frequencies occurring over 72hrs. Conventionally the SSNHL is treated by corticosteroids but it is considered that, addition of antioxidants to the treatment can increase the percentage of patients with the complete recovery. So, this study was conducted to test the efficacy and safety for the combination of Alpha lipoic acid, Gingko biloba, Vitamin C, Zinc, Magnesium, Vitamin B6, Methylcobalamin, Vitamin E and Chromium Picolinate for the treatment of SSNHL and high Intensity noise and vibration induced hearing loss as a concomitant therapy in addition to the standard medical management. Methodology: Out of total 225 enrolled, 208 patients completed the study. Efficacy and safety evaluation was done on day 7 and 14 considering the baseline visit at day 0. Efficacy assessment was done by hearing Impairment questionnaire and hearing related quality of Life. Results: Mean score obtained from hearing impairment questionnaire at day 0 was 19.59 which was reduced to 12.56 at day 7 and was further reduced to 7.70 at day 14. On Visit 1 the mean hearing related quality of life score was 5.24 which was increased to 6.4 at day 7 and was found to be further increased to 7.41 at day 14. Conclusion: The investigational product was efficacious and safe for the treatment of SSNHL and high Intensity noise and vibration induced hearing loss when given as a concomitant therapy to the standard medical management.
Global Value Chains, Trade and Technology: Evidence from European Countries
Authors: Guei Kore Marc.
Published: July 2021

The paper investigates the effects of global value chains (GVCs) and technological innovation on exports. The paper builds a new dataset from two database, the EORA and the OECD stan database. Using a pooled OLS and a two-stage quantile regression technique on a sample of 8 OECD countries, the results suggest that the effects of GVCs participation are heterogeneous across countries. We find that at the aggregate level, GVCs and forward participation are negatively associated with exports growth. However, we only find evidence of a positive effect of backward participation on exports in the case of France and Germany. At the disaggregated level, we find that: (a) an increase in GVCs participation in low technology intensive sectors is positively associated with exports’growth; (b) an increase in GVCs participation in high technology intensive sector is negatively correlated with exports’growth. The findings stress the importance of GVCs as a driving channel for subdue economic growth in low technological sectors.

Published: July 2021

The article focuses on the problem of algorithmizing the process of building schedules in various spheres of human activity by using the modern mathematical apparatus, as well as achievements in the field of systems analysis, game theory, and graph theory. Nowadays, there have been analyzed and determined the boundaries of the effective application of many well-known heuristic and metaheuristic algorithms, which have shown good results in practice. However, despite the achievements in the discrete optimization, scheduling and network planning, the new problems of drawing up so-called coordinated schedules in the field of multi-project planning, which take into account the preferences (requests, wishes) of specific schedule executors, are still of practical interest. There have been considered the approaches and main stages of solving the problems of constructing coordinated schedules in multi-project planning, which is relevant for the development of new generation software and tools
CREATING RLCP-COMPATIBLE VIRTUAL LABORATORIES FOR TRAINING BASIC ALGORITHMS ON NEURAL NETWORKS
Authors: Lisitsyna Liubov , Senchilo Marina , Teleshev Sergei
Published: July 2021

The article describes the principles of developing RLCP-compatible virtual laboratories. There are build two virtual laboratories based on these principles for mastering the basic algo-rithms on neural networks: Algorithm for Sequential Signal Propagation in Perceptron and Algorithm for Training Perceptron Using Method of Backward Error Propagation. Virtual laboratories consist of two independent modules – a virtual stand and an RLCP server. The virtual stand implements a visual display of the task's data and provides the listener with tools for forming and editing intermediate solutions and responses. Since the virtual laboratories were assumed for the first acquaintance with neural networks, the simplest neural network architectures in the form of single-layer perceptrons were used as the initial data. And the algorithm of sequential propagation of signals in a neural network (VL1) and the algorithm of training a neural network with a teacher based on the method of inverse error propagation (VL2) are used as the basic algorithms. For automatic generation of equally complex and valid tasks there have been proposed algorithms with high efficiency (the average time for generating an individual task on the VL2 stand for a student was no longer than 3 seconds). It was found out experimentally that such virtual laboratories should be created in two modes: the mode of training and mode of certification. The training shop works for solving problems using the studied algorithms on the stands of virtual laboratories in the training mode with the diagnosis of admitted errors significantly increase the effectiveness of students' results
BASIC CLASSIFIERS OF FORMAL CLASSIFICATION THEORY OF TECHNICAL SYSTEMS: HIERARCHIES, VECTORS AND MATRICES, BANDS
Authors: Fedorova Natalia
Published: July 2021

The article considers the importance of a technical system among other technical systems in order to ensure its functioning and development, to classify objects, subjects, processes of the technical and related systems. Previously, the author presented the basics of the formal classification theory. This article describes the basic classifiers and operations with them. Three types of basic classifications are identified: discrete hierarchical, discrete matrix and continuous band classifications. For them the concept, structure, dimension, basic operations (addition, multiplication, equality) are defined. In the hierarchy, the classification attributes can be sorted by subordination, when the classification attributes of the lower levels of the hierarchy detail the features of higher levels. The dimension of the hierarchical classification is the number of levels of classification features. Matrix classifications (including vector and super-matrix) are used when the classification attributes are equal and their values are discrete. Band classifications are similar in structure to matrix classifications, but the value of the classification attribute is the interval of numbers, for which the lower and upper boundaries are determined. The dimension of the matrix and band classifications is equal to the number of non-subordinate classification attributes. For all classifications, multiplication is equivalent to the introduction of new classification attributes, addition is the introduction of new values of already existing classification attributes. A unified approach to various types of classifications makes it possible to plan the structure of classifications of specific technical systems, taking into account the properties of characteristic parameters
METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLIGENT AVIATION SAFETY CONTROL SYSTEM
Authors: Kulik Aleksey Anatolivich , Bolshakov Alexander Afanasievich
Published: July 2021

The article describes a new class of organizational and technical systems - intelligent aviation systems, whose operational principles provide the increased safety of an aircraft flight. The development of systems of this class is primarily explained by the need to record statistical data on the main causes of aviation accidents (human factor - up to 87%, failure of aviation equipment - up to 15%, external factors - 2% of all cases). A scientific problem is formulated related to the importance of creating methods for assessing and predicting the threat of an accident based on direct control of changes in the values of characteristics that affect flight safety. For this, it is proposed to use the methods and means of the scientific and technical direction of artificial intelligence, which will reveal the immediate causes of an aviation accident and prevent them using the flight safety management system. The technical characteristics are considered, the properties of the system under study are presented, which determine the principles of its functioning: intelligence, information content, speed, controllability, interdependence of subsystems, flight safety, including identification of the threat of an accident, its prediction and parry. The above principles of the functioning of the system under study, which are part of the methodology for managing the safety of an aircraft in flight, are implemented in a set of methods and algorithms. Among them should be noted the intelligent method for assessing the threat of an aviation accident, the method for predicting the threat of an accident, the method for supporting decision-making by the crew in the event of the threat of an accident, as well as the method for synthesizing the control law for countering the threat
FUZZY MANAGEMENT OF INFORMATION AND SECURITY EVENTS: FEATURES OF CONSTRUCTING MEMBERSHIP FUNCTIONS
Authors: Kotenko Igor Vitalievich , Parashchuk Igor Borisovich
Published: July 2021

The object of the study is methodological approaches to solving the problems of constructing membership functions in the application to decision-making procedures (decision support) for the fuzzy management of information and security events of modern cyber-physical systems. These methodological approaches (methods) allow taking into account the vagueness of the observed and controlled parameters of the protection of complex controlled technical systems. At the same time, the comparative analysis of the approaches under consideration is focused on the most applicable methods for specific tasks - the method of constructing membership functions based on the analysis of probability density functions and the method using a simple probabilistic scheme. Based on the method that uses the analysis of probability density functions, a mechanism for determining the values of membership functions for the problem of making decisions about the relevance of a particular computer attack to a fuzzy set of dangerous attacks (a set of attacks of a high level of danger) is proposed. This mechanism does not have a great mathematical and computational complexity, but it allows us to take into account the fuzziness of the observed and controlled security parameters, which will increase the reliability of monitoring information and security events within the framework of fuzzy security management of systems of this class
MANAGEMENT OF LABOR SYSTEM BASED ON STATISTICAL MODELS AND SIMULATION
Authors: Shilnikov Alexandr Sergeevich , Mitsel Artur Aleksandrovich
Published: July 2021

The article considers the problem of the development of decision-making systems

in relation to the system of remuneration of labor (LRS) at enterprises. For the introduction of new, more modern and effective types of LRS, decision-makers currently do not have adequate tools. Thus, there is a problem of developing decision support systems (DSS). The key element of the DSS is the LRS models, which provide predictive analytics. However, the compilation of a LRS model is a difficult task due to the factor of randomness and multivariance of LRS. To solve the problem, two approaches to the creation of LRS models are proposed: developing the statistical analytical models and creating the simulation models. In the study, the first approach is considered, namely, an analytical statistical model of one of the piece-rate system is proposed. Formulas are obtained for the probability densities of the resulting indicators of the piece-rate LRS, the statistical characteristics of the indicators and the assessment of the risk of ineffective LRS use are calculated. This will allow significant progress in the development of DSS in the field of labor economics and personnel management

A partir das desigualdades produzidas em volta dos megaeventos ocorridos no Rio de Janeiro, este artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a invisibilidade daqueles que vivem a “exceção como regra” (a tradição dos oprimidos, de uma perspectiva benjaminiana, retomada por Agamben). Importa para nós, pensar sobre os vitimados pelo processo de transformação da cidade e de como são afetados pela lógica perversa do desenvolvimento e do progresso, bem como as estratégias biopolíticas de controle da vida que se misturam ao tecido social responsáveis pela perpetuação da barbárie. Neste artigo falaremos sobre a importância de ser rompida a lógica da justificação do custo humano, isto é, das injustiças realizadas aos excluídos em prol de melhorias para uma parcela privilegiada da população. Abordaremos também as diversas formas de lutas e resistências postas em prática que impuseram derrotas ao consórcio Estado-Mercado de administração da exceção no Rio de Janeiro.

ЖІНКА – ОБ’ЄКТ НАСИЛЬСТВА В УКРАЇНСЬКОМУ ПІДПІЛЛІ: ПРАВДА ЧИ МІФ?
Authors: Гриник Лілія
Published: July 2021

Анотація. Мета статті – охарактеризувати становище жінки в українському підпіллі (1940–1950-х рр.) та з’ясувати, яке місце займали насильницькі форми поведінки чоловіків стосовно жінок. Методологія дослідження передбачає використання таких принципів: історизму, науковості, об’єктивності та логічності. Використовуються методи: загальнонаукові (аналіз, порівняння, узагальнення), спеціально-історичні (періодизація, історико-порівняльний та ін.), а також методи критики джерел (зовнішні та внутрішні). Наукова новизна полягає у тому, що на основі невідомих та маловідомих архівних матеріалів спростовується поширена думка в українській історіографії щодо винятково насильницької поведінки чоловіків стосовно жінок. Подається узагальнена картина гендерних стосунків у підпіллі. Висновки. Становище жіноцтва під час національно-визвольних змагань було складним не лише через умови часу, а й з огляду на політику радянських каральних органів. Попри усі непорозуміння, які виникали усередині підпілля, учасники визвольних змагань намагалися підтримувати дружні стосунки задля досягнення спільної мети. Говорити про факти насильства як нормальну та загальноприйняту поведінку у лавах ОУН та УПА – недоречно. Як і в будь-який період існування суспільства, під час національно-визвольних змагань, мали місце проблеми гендерних нестатутних стосунків. Однак вони були радше винятком із правил, аніж «нормальним» ставленням до жінок. Існує набагато більше свідчень приязного та толерантного ставлення вояків до жінок. І це аж ніяк не залежить від замовчування чи приховування протилежних аргументів, а є лише прямим свідченням домінування адекватної поведінки чоловіків під час визвольних змагань. Наявність фактів примусу та водночас наявність правового регулювання проблеми насильства аж ніяк не були свідченням існування в підпіллі подвійної моралі, а лише нормативно-правовою спробою врегулювання людських конфліктів.

ІСТОРИК ПОЗА РОБОЧИМ СТОЛОМ: ІВАН КРИП’ЯКЕВИЧ (1886–1967)
Authors: Литвин Микола , Литвин Тамара
Published: July 2021

Анотація. Мета дослідження. У статті реконструйовано повсякденне життя та побут відомого історика, краєзнавця, бібліофіла і колекціонера, академіка АН УРСР Івана Крип’якевича, який у радянську добу очолював важливу соціогуманітарну установу – Інститут суспільних наук АН УРСР, науковці якого досліджували історію та культуру, етнолінгвістичні процеси західного регіону. Показано родинне оточення вченого – працю та зацікавлення його дружини і дітей, краєзнавчі подорожі вченого в Карпати, околицями Львова, Жовкви та Рогатина. Стверджено, що вчений цікавився класичною музикою, фольклором, природним середовищем Високого замку та львівських парків. Показано його співпрацю з фотографами, колекціонерами екслібрисів, громадськими діячами на ниві дослідження та збереження пам’яток історії, культури та природи рідного краю. Розкрито толерантну і доброзичливу атмосферу, яку створював директор Інституту суспільних наук АН УРСР у колективі, де організовувалися сатиричні вечори і творчі зустрічі з письменниками Львова. Методологія дослідження базується на принципах історизму, системності та верифікації.
Висновки. Як свідчать документи та спогади сучасників, вчений не терпів повсякденної суєти, чвар, інтриг, нашіптувань. Керівник установи був зорієнтований на формування в Інституті відчуття дружної творчої сім’ї, атмосфери доброзичливості, шанобливого ставлення до співробітника незалежно від звань і посад, реалізовуючи працю колективу не примусовими, диктаторськими методами, а логікою вчинків. За будь-яких умов у принципових питаннях львівський історик завжди мав свою позицію і послідовно її відстоював, був вірним професійному покликанню й намагався використати найменшу можливість зробити щось корисне для науки, народу, своєї родини.

Water Safety Education Programs in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Seattle Communities: Program Design and Pilot Evaluation
Authors: Koon William , Bennett Elizabeth , Stempski Sarah , Blitvich Jennifer
Published: July 2021

Drowning is a public health concern that disproportionally affects children and minorities in Washington State. Community health educators from Seattle Children’s Hospital designed a Water Safety Education and Lifejacket Giveaway Program for low-income parents of preschool-aged children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. The program was interpreted into multiple languages and parents and children in attendance received free lifejackets. The mixed-methods pilot evaluation of this program found statistically significant relationships between language and self-reported parent swim skill level (English-speaker OR 4.6; 95%CI: 1.84 – 11.54); and confidence of keeping one’s child safe (English-speaker OR 3.34; 95%CI: 1.10 – 10.4). Additionally, parents who self-reported that they could swim had four times the odds of feeling confident in keeping their children safe around the water (95% CI: 1.21 - 13.28). Qualitative data from follow-up interviews identified that the program boosted parent knowledge and confidence in safe water practices. Multi-lingual delivery and the role of partner preschools was critical to this program’s success. Specific programmatic focus on adult parent/caregiver skills and knowledge that reduce risk around the water should be a priority for future efforts to reduce drowning.
The Lifeguard Rescue Reporting System: Survey Results from a Collaborative Data Collection Method
Authors: Ramos William , Fielding Roy , Anderson Kristina , Wernicki Peter
Published: July 2021

Several water safety organizations have attempted to improve reporting regarding lifeguard actions in order to better understand the characteristics of successful, non-fatal rescues. In 2003, a collective effort initiated the Lifeguard Rescue Reporting System, an online survey distributed to lifeguards and facility managers across the United States and Canada to better understand rescue actions performed in pools/spas, water parks, and open water areas. After seven years of data collection, the online survey accumulated data reflecting 1,676 rescue actions, collecting information including location, victim characteristics and outcome, rescuer characteristics and strategies, and other general circumstances. Descriptive results indicated that at least half of victims were 14 years old or younger across all settings. Depths of 0.9-1.5m (3-5 ft) represented the range at which incidents most frequently occurred in pools and spas and waterparks, whereas the depth of incidents was generally deeper in natural and open waterways. During rescue incidents, water safety personnel generally identified victims either visually (83-92% of the time) and/or audibly (18-29%), although victim “profiling” was also employed 10-14% of the time to identify at-risk swimmers. Notably, across all three water setting types, no medical aid was required in most cases (60-72%), suggesting the efficacy and essentiality of lifeguards as aquatic first responders. Accordingly, as water-based recreation maintains its popularity, systematically collecting and analyzing data specific to everyday, rescue actions are critical to improving lifeguard education and strategic, data-based operating procedures.
EU ASYLUM SYSTEM IN AND AFTER THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: DISCLOSING THE WEAKNESSES OF THE CURRENT RULES AND ASSESSING THE PROSPECTS OF THE NEW PACT ON MIGRATION AND ASYLUM
Authors: Čučković Bojana
Published: July 2021

The paper analyses the influence that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on the functioning of the European asylum system. The analysis is divided into three parts and addresses problematic issues associated with different stages of the pandemic. In the first part of the paper, the author outlines the asylum practices of EU Member States in the initial stage of the Covid-19 pandemic during which the pandemic was perceived as a state of emergency. By exploring the legal possibilities to derogate both from the EU asylum rules and international human rights standards, the author offers conclusions as regards limits of derogations and the legality of Member States’ practices, especially their failure to differentiate between rules that are susceptive of being derogated in emergency situations and those that are not. The second part of the paper analyses the current phase of the pandemic in which it is perceived as a 'new normal' and focuses on making the EU asylum system immune to Covid-19 influence to the greatest extent possible and in line with relevant EU and human rights rules. The author insists on the vulnerability as an inherent feature of persons in need of international protection and researches upon the relationship between the two competing interests involved – protection of asylum seekers and ensuring public health as a legitimate reason for restricting certain asylum seekers’ rights. The final part of the paper analyses the prospects of the future EU asylum system, as announced by the New Pact on Migration and Asylum in September 2020, to adapt to the exigencies of both the current Covid-19 crisis and pandemics that are yet to come. With an exclusive focus on referral to Covid-19 and provisions relevant for the current and future pandemics, the author criticizes several solutions included in the instruments that make up the Pact. It is concluded that the Pact failed to offer solutions for problems experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic and that, under the pretext of public health, it prioritizes the interests of Member States over the interests of applicants for international protection.
COVID - 19 AS A “SIGNIFICANT CIRCUMSTANCE” FOR RISK ASSESSMENT IN LIFE INSURANCE (IN AND AFTER THE PANDEMIC)
Authors: Primorac Željka
Published: July 2021

The data on the health status of a policyholder represent a significant circumstance for risk assessment and concluding a life insurance contract, and are also legally relevant circumstances for exercising the rights from that contract. The author starts from a theoretical analysis of the perception of data on the health status of policyholders as personal data, comparing the right to confidentiality of such data with the duty to report them (before concluding a life insurance contract) in terms of reporting all circumstances relevant to the insurance risk assessment. In order to properly fulfil the obligation of pre-contractual nature, the paper analyses the legal norms governing this issue and also provides a comparative overview of the Croatian and German insurance legislation with special emphasis on the scope of health data that the insurer is authorised to require, the clarity of legal standards and legal insurance norms contained in the insurance questionnaires and the life insurance offer. Presenting the importance of COVID-19 infection and possible chronic consequences for human health, the author indicates the extent to which COVID-19 infection (mild or severe form of disease, possible need for hospital treatment) will have an impact on the design of new insurance questionnaires and the relevance of genetic testing results in the context of concluding future life insurance contracts.
