Authors:   Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies, Bickovska Anna
Published: May 2021

Topicality of the research is that a significant part of unemployed stay unemployed for a very long time even when the economic situation allows to get employed. This part of society abuses the social security system, misuse the State Employment Agency services. Typically, they are seen by society as less educated, less capable than other groups and they need special assistance in job searching process. The aim of the pilot study was to explore how more creative and skill-oriented methods can be used in career counselling with long-term unemployed. The methodology includes following steps: small group of long-term unemployed (8 women) were asked to reflect on their unemployment and answer 4 questions developed by the author. Questions are covering their opinions on reasons of being unemployed, what kind of a result they want to achieve, what resources they can use and how they are going to feel in case they become employed. Results shows that most participants of the group consider that they can’t find a job because of external obstacles. They mention the State Employment Agency and relatives (families) as resources to use. All respondents were confused answering question about their feelings and cannot name any feeling they might feel getting a job. The results and process of the session show that long-term unemployed have difficulties with soft skills and emotional intelligence.

Introduction. Infantile hemiconvulsion?hemiplegia and epilepsy (IHHE) syndrome is defined as a specific syndrome in patients < 2 years of age, presenting as a new onset refractory status epilepticus with unilateral motor seizures and acute imaging abnormalities, fever, hemiparesis > 24 hours, and excluding infectious encephalitis. Case outline. We present the results of a follow-up in a 11-year-old girl with IHHE, associated with GRIN2A mutation. The girl had normal development until the first febrile hemiconvulsive status epilepticus at the age of seven months. Neuroimaging initially showed right hemisphere edema, followed by progressive right side hemiatrophy. The patient has resistant epilepsy, left side hemiparesis, and good language and cognitive development. Conclusion. Despite IHHE described many years ago, some syndrome?s features, including etiology, have remained unexplained. The association between IHHE and GRIN2A mutation stated in the current manuscript is described in scientific literature for the first time.

A Chronicle of Event Postponement and Reorganization Coming Back Stronger (Danai Varveri and Vassilios Ziakas)
Authors: Varveri Danai , Ziakas Vassilios
Published: May 2021

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global event industry has been deeply affected. In Greece, the scale of the coronavirus crisis brings back memories of the 2008 financial crisis; both are crises that reshaped society in lasting ways. The 2008 financial crisis showed that the event industry in Greece can survive adverse conditions. In the following years, although Greece has been under strict austerity measures and economic hardship, the Greek calendar continued to feature a range of cultural festivals and events, especially during the summer months of the peak tourism season. Music and dance festivals are a mainstay of the creative event industry in Greece, because they not only enhance local development and tourism but also contribute to artistic expression and the utilization of cultural capital. The COVID-19 pandemic crisis has put at risk most events around the globe. According to chaos theory, the principle of ‘butterfly effect’ explains how small incidents may cause large effects to broader systems; in this manner alike the COVID-19 outbreak has plunged the global into a serious pandemic crisis. In the event industry, strict social distancing and restrictions to minimize the spread of coronavirus have set new norms in socializing and celebrating. Concerns about safety in gatherings have led to cancelling or reshaping events. The Greek government imposed consecutive lockdowns that paralyzed the already dismal social and business environment from a 10-year economic depression. Local or national lockdowns limit the range of managerial responses in event planning and make it more difficult for any level of crisis preparedness to be achieved. Thus, major uncertainties have arisen about the future and survival of events in Greece. How are event organizers responding to the crisis and adapting to the new conditions? What decision-making processes do they employ to deal with the consequences of the crisis? The purpose of this chapter is to throw light on the empirical decision-making of event managers to re-organize the National Ballet Competition of Greece as a virtual event. This experience is discussed alongside pertinent literature to highlight major issues and responses.
Swedish Sports Clubs and Events during the Covid 19 Pandemic Impacts and Responses (John Armbrecht, Erik Lundberg, Robert Pettersson and Malin Zillinger)
Authors: Armbrecht John , Lundberg Erik , Pettersson Robert , Zillinger Malin
Published: May 2021

Sweden has 10 million inhabitants of which more than 30% are members of at least one sports club. Typically, sports clubs are organized under the Swedish Sports Confederation (Riksidrottsförbundet). On a national level, approximately 19,000 sports clubs exist, distributed over 72 specialist sports federations. Each club usually stages one or several sport events every year. For example, specialist sports federations organize all championships at national and international levels. From a sports club perspective, these events constitute important sources of income. From a societal perspective, clubs and events create considerable economic impacts, foster public health, and facilitate integration contributing with substantial social values (Brown et al., 2015; Pettersson & Wallstam, 2017; Wallstam, Ioannides, & Pettersson, 2020). During the Covid-19 pandemic, most governments restricted individuals’ possibilities for gatherings and movements. On March 12th the Swedish government responded to the pandemic by limiting the number of participants to events to no more than 500 people. Starting March 29th gatherings were limited to 50 people. During the end of year 2020 and the second virus wave, further actions were taken. The government limited the number of visitors and participants to eight people. These restrictions had considerable negative effects on many sport-related activities, events, and thus clubs.
The Future of Events will be Hybrid (Tim Brown)
Authors: Brown Tim
Published: May 2021

In early 2020 a pandemic was declared following the rapid spread of COVID-19 across the globe. As a result, numerous governments worldwide implemented strict measures to limit the movements of their populations to prevent increases in COVID-19 infections (Ludvigsen & Hayton, 2020; Mohanty et al., 2020). These restrictions included regional and national ‘lockdowns’ which severely restricted personal activities, with all but essential workers urged to work from home, schools and universities closed and moved online, and only critical business (such as supermarkets and pharmacies) to remain open (Richter, 2020). Many industries were affected by the lockdowns, with the tourism, hospitality, and events industries most severely affected (Mohanty et al., 2020). The Meetings Industry Association (mia) reported that in the UK the impact of COVID-19 on the events industry has resulted in £ billions lost in revenue through cancelled events and declines in enquiries, and that over 126,000 event jobs in the UK have been lost to date (mia, 2020), with fears this could increase to over 500,000 job losses without more government support (Fullard, 2020). This picture is mirrored in other countries, such as the USA, where it is outlined that 46% (8 million people) of those working in food, travel and events have lost their jobs (Dubay, 2020). Events are a global industry, worth $ trillions annually (Events Industry Council & Oxford Economics, 2018), and the shutdown of events presents an existential crisis to the industry which may take years to recover (EventMB, 2020b; mia, 2020; Mohanty et al., 2020).
Redesigning Events in the Post COVID 19 Crisis A Design Thinking Approach (Kom Campiranon)
Authors: Campiranon Kom
Published: May 2021

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic on 12 March 2020. Since then, COVID-19 has significantly influenced the global economic, political, and socio-cultural systems (Sigala, 2020). This pandemic is arguably one of the most substantial challenges facing businesses in the past 100 years (Hall et al., 2020). Although the tourism industry has been generally resilient in recovery from a variety of crises (e.g. terrorism, earthquakes, and outbreaks such as SARS), tourism is one of many industries in which COVID-19 has caused severe adverse effects (UNWTO, 2020b) and has given rise to profound and long-term changes (Sigala, 2020). Moreover, it is not yet clear if, or when, businesses will return to normal (Cankurtaran & Beverland, 2020). As COVID-19 has continued to spread across the world, travel restrictions and border shutdowns have been enforced in many countries to curb its spread (Qiu et al., 2020). Flights have been canceled (Haywood, 2020), forcing millions of travelers to postpone their travel plans (Rwigema, 2020). People all over the world have experienced quarantine or isolation, whilst businesses have been closed in response to the outbreak of COVID-19 (Kabadayi et al., 2020) which has caused supply chain disruptions. Whilst the events sector is considered as a vital part of the tourism industry (Mohanty et al., 2020; Rwigema, 2020), it has been disrupted the most (Gajjar & Parmar, 2020; Gössling et al., 2020) due to the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 (Congrex Switzerland, 2020; Margolis et al., 2020; Min Ho & Ming Sia, 2020; Mohanty et al., 2020; Ranasinghe et al., 2020) which lead to social distancing (Rwigema, 2020; Sigala, 2020), the avoidance of crowd gatherings (Hao et al., 2020), travel restrictions, border controls, and involuntary quarantine (Disimulacion, 2020).
Crisis The Juncture of Stability and Development (William O’Toole)
Authors: O’Toole William
Published: May 2021

The development of the events sector over the last 40 years has shown a remarkable consistency. Not necessarily on the ground with specific events, but certainly looking at the management processes at a meta-level, there is a longitudinal pattern that has emerged. It seems the startling diversity of events, their independent development, the variety of personalities and work practices in every country and city of the world has produced a model of development. I have been fortunate to observe and, to a small degree, influence this development. I have experienced and worked in its various phases. From working in events in over 40 countries ranging from the Liberia to the USA, the pattern is unmistakable. This pattern is dynamic and self organizing. The development pattern creates five phases I have described here. The maturity levels become phases when we introduce the dimension of time. But what has this to do with ‘crisis’. In an innovative and disruptive industry such as events, crisis is one of the factors that powers the pattern in development. From the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), to terrorism, to the COVID crisis, these are stimuli that have help create a development model.
Crisis Management and Recovery for Events Issues and Directions (Vassilios Ziakas, Vladimir Antchak and Donald Getz)
Authors: Ziakas Vassilios , Antchak Vladimir , Getz Donald
Published: May 2021

The landscape of the event sector is dramatically changing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The crisis has accelerated structural change and aggravated the instability of what has traditionally been a highly volatile, disruptive and erratic sector. Crises are becoming the new normal. The probability of the advent of further crises should be considered and carefully evaluated by the event industry and the entire visitor economy sector. It is critical for event organizers and host communities to learn how to cooperate and manage their events under conditions of constant or episodic crises and turbulence. A holistic mindset in crisis management needs to be developed to create tools and strategies for enabling the effective adaptability, recovery, and resilience of events. In this concluding chapter, we outline the pillars of a holistic crisis management perspective that makes use of complex adaptive systems, event portfolio and resilience theories. We encapsulate major issues in the crisis management of events and put forward an integrative framework that brings together crucial elements and processes. Finally, we discuss key trends and transformations of the sector, and in this context, suggest directions for future research.
From Risk to Resilience Contemporary Issues in Event Risk Management (Peter Ashwin)
Authors: Ashwin Peter
Published: May 2021

In today’s volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous global risk society, national boundaries are blurred, inter-connected markets are exposed to delocalized risks with consequences that may stretch over extended or indefinite periods of time. Under these uncertain conditions, event organizers find themselves planning and delivering events in an environment characterized by disruptive effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and extant risks from home-grown violent extremism, cyber-criminal threats, supply chain disruptions and event cancellations (Beck, 2006; Hall, et al., 2019; Piekarz et al., 2015; Reid & Ritchie,2011; Rutherford Silvers, 2008; Tarlow, 2002). It is widely acknowledged that risk management should be viewed by event organizers and event professionals as a fundamental responsibility for planning and delivering a world class guest experience in a safe and secure environment (Berlonghi, 1990; Piekarz et al., 2015; Rutherford Silvers, 2008; Tarlow 2002;). However, in stark contrast, many event organizers concede that they do not have an event risk management plan (Ashwin & Wilson, 2020; Sturken, 2005 cited in Robson, 2009; Robson, 2009). In light of the recent proliferation of violent attacks on festivals and events, from the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing to the recent 2019 Gilroy Garlic Festival (California) shooting, there has been an increasing public discourse and emerging legislative requirements for event organizers to demonstrate an evidence-based approach to risk management decisions with the ability to explain the rationale behind those decisions in clear, objective and transparent terms (US Department of Homeland Security, 2020; UK Center for the Protection of National Infrastructure, 2020). Drawing upon the existing body of literature for event risk management, from Berlonghi (1990) to the recent 2019 event industry survey investigating event organizers approaches to risk management and resilience (Ashwin & Wilson, 2020), this chapter will explore contemporary risk issues in today’s volatile, ambiguous, complex and uncertain world. First, it will discuss the inter-related risk constructs pertaining to socio-cultural theoretical perspectives of risk and how an event organizer’s perception of risk influences their approach to risk management and decision-making. Then the chapter will address two contemporary risks, both of which present the potential for catastrophic consequences: cyber-criminals who are increasingly focusing their cyber-attacks on vulnerable, event digital eco-systems; and domestic terrorism and the threat from homegrown violent extremists, domestic violent extremists and unaffiliated lone offenders (‘lone wolves’). Finally, pragmatic, risk-based approaches to mitigating these risks will be discussed, specifically, preventative risk control measures and opportunities for enhancing organizational resilience to cyber-crime and terrorism.

Published: May 2021

Sejak implementasi otonomi daerah tahun 1999, sektor kesehatan menjadi urusan pemerintahan yang dilaksanakan oleh daerah. Konsekuensinya, Kementerian Kesehatan tidak lagi memiliki Kantor Wilayah seperti halnya Kementerian Keuangan dan Kementerian Agama. Walau demikian, sebagai tindak lanjut otonomi daerah pula, Presiden Abdurrahman Wahid mengeluarkan Keputusan Presiden tentang Lembaga Pemerintah Non Departemen, yang antara lain mengatur berdirinya Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan (BPOM). BPOM berfungsi sebagai instansi pusat yang memiliki perangkat di daerah. Pada tahun 2018, BPOM melakukan reformasi administrasi melalui penambahan 40 Unit Pelaksana Teknis baru setingkat Eselon IV berupa Loka Pengawas Obat dan Makanan (Loka POM). Penelitian ini memotret reformasi administrasi tersebut dalam perspektif New Public Service menggunakan kerangka pikir evaluasi perubahan proses bisnis, yaitu PNS, masyarakat, institusi publik, dan proses. Kehadiran Loka POM melalui reformasi administrasi BPOM memperlihatkan hadirnya sejumlah nilai-nilai New Public Service baik pada elemen PNS, masyarakat, institusi publik, dan proses. Transformasi tersebut juga ditunjang dengan sejumlah data-data capaian yang memperlihatkan perluas cakupan pengawasan Obat dan Makanan yang memungkinkan masyarakat lebih terlindungi dari Obat dan Makanan yang dapat memberikan efek negatif terhadap kesehatan. Diperlukan suatu perangkat yang relevan dan komprehensif untuk dapat mengukur outcome terutama pada elemen masyarakat sehingga peran dari BPOM secara umum maupun Balai Besar, Balai, dan Loka POM secara khusus pada masyarakat dapat diketahui dengan lebih cermat.

The US-China Trade War and the COVID-19 pandemic are unprecedented incidents involving Indonesia's traditional markets as the main actors, i.e. the US and China which impacted Indonesia's economy and trade indirectly. Market diversification to new market or non-traditional market is one way out that can be done to minimize the impact of the global crisis on the country, when traditional markets are unreliable, such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that has made a positive contribution both in investment and trade for Indonesia in the midst of a pandemic. However, Indonesia's exports to the UAE experienced a significant decline in 2018 after previous two years continued to increase. So that knowing the competitiveness of Indonesia's export products in the UAE is the purpose of this study. This research answers the prospects and challenges of Indonesian export products in the UAE by measuring the export performance in 2016-2018 using the Constant Market Share (CMS) and Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) analysis methods. This research uses descriptive quantitative method with secondary data and triangulation of data sources, methods, and theories as the validity and reliability methods. The results of this study indicate that CMS and RCA analysis output are different so that the prospects and challenges for Indonesian products are also explained by the Indonesian approach and trade policies which lead to the conclusion that the UAE is a potential market to become non-traditional market for Indonesian economic development when its traditional markets are unreliable.

Published: May 2021

Indonesia telah naik kelas menjadi negara berpendapatan menengah ke atas sejak tahun 2020. Peran Indonesia dalam konteks bantuan luar negeri juga mulai bergeser dari negara penerima bantuan menjadi negara donor. Pemberian bantuan kepada pemerintah/lembaga asing yang telah berlangsung selama ini masih belum terkoordinasi dengan baik karena bersifat sektoral dan diinisiasi oleh kementerian teknis sesuai bidang masing-masing. Hal ini berpotensi kurang selaras dengan kebijakan politik luar negeri Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi peran LDKPI sebagai lembaga yang baru dibentuk oleh pemerintah untuk menjadi sarana pendukung kebijakan luar negeri Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif melalui studi literatur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembentukan LDKPI sebagai lembaga pengelola kerja sama internasional dapat memperbaiki tata kelola pemberian bantuan kepada pemerintah/lembaga asing yang selama ini belum melalui satu pintu khusus. Sentralisasi penyaluran bantuan kerja sama internasional dan pengelolaan lembaga yang profesional dan modern akan meningkatkan keselarasan dengan kebijakan diplomasi luar negeri pemerintah, memangkas birokrasi dan proses bisnis yang rumit, serta dapat mengurangi beban keterbatasan ruang fiskal di APBN.

Background: Multi drug resistant bacterial agents that contaminate seafood cause several diseases in humans and are widely documented as a global public health challenge.

Methods: This study evaluated the microbiological and antimicrobial resistance genes profiles of bacterial Isolates from shellfish vended at Iko and Douglas Creeks of Cross River State, Nigeria. A total of 540 shellfish (117 clams, 88 oysters, 136 periwinkles) samples were collected from various vendor at the two Creeks were analyzed. The samples were processed using standard microbiological methods to identify bacterial pathogens. Antimicrobial susceptibility was assayed using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Isolates were screened for antimicrobial resistant genes using polymerase chain reaction.

Results: Overall, a total of 135 bacteria isolates were identified. The most common isolate was Alcaligenes species 53(39.2%) followed by Pseudomonas species 44(32.6%), Providencia species 25(18.5%), Vibrio species 6(4.4%), and Paenalcaligenes species 7(5.2%). The isolates showed varying susceptibilities to Imipenem (36%) and amikacin (28%) but were all resistant to Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole. Fifty-three isolates had a multiple antibiotic resistance index (MARI) of ≥0.9 - 1.0. Most of the bacterial isolates were detected with TEM genes (82.2%), SHV (51.8%,), VIM (50.3%) resistance genes. None of the isolates expressed Veb gene. Only 40.7% of the isolates expressed QnrB gene while none expressed QnrA and QnrS.

Conclusion: The detection of these multidrug resistant clinically relevant bacterial species suggests a significant linkage of commonly consumed seafood in the community and environmental spread of MDR bacteria.

Published: May 2021

In the flow through the pipes, we have unstable movements when, due to the closing or opening of the valve or other hydraulic equipment, the speed of movement of the liquid changes. The change in velocity causes inertial forces to arise in the liquid which cause pressure changes in the flow. The phenomenon characterized by these pressure changes is called hydraulic water hammer.

The hydraulic shock can be called the increase or decrease of the flow pressure in the pipe caused by the change in time (in any section) of the flow velocity.

The objective of this paper is to provide information and resources to assist water company management and their staff in identifying and implementing opportunities to reduce energy use. Case study is Pumping Station in Milloshevo managed by Regional Water Company “PRISHTINA”.

Published: May 2021

The purpose of this study is to create an automated framework that can recognize similar handwritten digit strings. For starting the experiment, the digits were separated into different numbers. The process of defining handwritten digit strings is then concluded by recognizing each digit recognition module's segmented digit. This research utilizes various machine learning techniques to produce a strong performance on the digit string recognition challenge, including SVM, ANN, and CNN architectures. These approaches use SVM, ANN, and CNN models of HOG feature vectors to train images of digit strings. Deep learning methods organize the pictures by moving a fixed-size monitor over them while categorizing each sub-image as a digit pass or fail. Following complete segmentation, complete recognition of handwritten digits is accomplished. To assess the methods' results, data must be used for machine learning training. Following that, the digit data is evaluated using the desired machine learning methodology. The Experiment findings indicate that SVM and ANN also have disadvantages in precision and efficiency in text picture recognition. Thus, the other process, CNN, performs better and is more accurate. This paper focuses on developing an effective system for automatically recognizing handwritten digits. This research would examine the adaptation of emerging machine learning and deep learning approaches to various datasets, like SVM, ANN, and CNN. The test results undeniably demonstrate that the CNN approach is significantly more effective than the ANN and SVM approaches, ranking 71% higher. The suggested architecture is composed of three major components: image pre-processing, attribute extraction, and classification. The purpose of this study is to enhance the precision of handwritten digit recognition significantly. As will be demonstrated, pre-processing and function extraction are significant elements of this study to obtain maximum consistency.

A study based on completely randomized design with three replications was carried out at Tuber Crops Research Centre (TCRC), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazipur with a view to evaluating and classifying agro-morphological traits in 12 potato varieties to enumerating the genetic diversity. Discriminant function analysis (DFA) was done to determine the set of discriminatory functions contributed to separating 12 potato varieties into four distinct clusters. Discriminant function analysis showed that, function 1 explained 78.21% and function 2 explained 21.79% of total variance. The first function was more related to leaf area (having coefficient value of 0.661) and second function was more related to minituber per plant and plant height (having coefficient value of 0.644 and 0.523, respectively). Among 4 clusters, cluster II showed the highest distance (29.79) with cluster III followed by the distance between clusters III and IV (24.70) so the varieties in these clusters were genetically diverse. Based on mean value of the six quantitative characters for each of the four clusters and the inter cluster distance the cluster III and IV might be selected for future breeding program as a better parent to get positive heterosis. Cluster III contained six varieties BARI Alu 29, BARI Alu 35, BARI Alu 36, BARI Alu 37, BARI Alu 7 (Diamant), BARI Alu 8 (Cardinal) and which were characterized by lowest plant height and average values for other characters. Cluster IV contained three potato varieties BARI Alu 41, BARI Alu 46 and BARI Alu 53 which was characterized by highest plant height and second highest leaf area.

Congenital cervical teratomas are benign but serious germinative cell tumors. The possibility of air compression structures and the risk of invasion of vascular and nervous noble elements are crucial prognostic factors in this kind of tumor. Prenatal diagnosis raises on ultrasound examination precising locoregional consequences of the tumor and surgical possibilities. In the propitious cases, prenatal MRI examination is useful to precise tumor’s limits and cerebral status of the foetus. At birth, coordinate management involving anaesthetists, paediatricians and specialized surgeons decrease morbidity and mortality. The recent observation of a case gave us the opportunity to make a literature review of this exceptional afection. It was a newborn female, aged 25 days allowed for anterior cervical mass evolving since the birth associated with moderate dyspnea. Cervical ultrasound coupled to CT scan had objectified a heterogeneous mass with cystic areas and calcifications. The excision was complete and the histopathological study revealed a mature teratoma. The postoperative course was uneventful, with some food and phonatory transient disorders. Cosmetic outcome at 6 months was excellent. Cervical teratoma is a rare tumor, diagnosed mainly in the neonatal period, which requires a prenatal diagnosis and multidisciplinary early management. The prognosis depends mainly on the presence of neonatal respiratory distress and histological form. There are opportunities sudden worsening respiratory and malignant transformation that justify early surgical excision and prolonged follow-up.

Every inherent or external incentive which involves natural reactions, is recognized as stress. Extenuatory reaction to these pressures is known as stress reactions. Stress contributes to broad variety of diseases including hypertension and superior plasma cortisol, cardiac and CVDs, inflammatory bowel syndromes, type 2 diabetes, and a reduced quality of life among those suffering with cancer. Stress happens in 3 stages. The first stage is an initial stage of alarm, which produces an increase of adrenaline. Living organisms can withstand intense stress and stay alive. Second phase is a brief conflict process that the body puts up to handle the problem. Last phase is the tiredness phase, which arises when the body has utilized every part of its accessible assets. Stress affects the different organs of the whole body. As far as chronic stress is concerned, it stimulates infection in the vasculature, particularly in the coronary arteries, also can alter cholesterol levels and excessive activation of sympathetic nervous system (depletes the system of neurotransmitters, peptides, cofactors, and other mediators). Regarding, endocrine stress, it affects the hypothalamus in brain. The stress condition in n individuals experiencing pressure needs a healthy and regular eating including important supplements, moreover, physical exercise and mind rest are regularly suggested for averting stress induced anxiety-linked objections and disease.

Published: May 2021

Background: Each organ serves a specific function in the human body. Congenital absence or loss of even minor parts of it can pose extreme psychological trauma in addition to the functional impairment and esthetic issues encountered by the individual. Amputation of complete or a part of phalange of hand is frequently encountered either due to trauma or necrosis. Restoration of such defects become mandatory to improve general form and function combined with the esthetic requirements of the patient. It can either be done by microvascular reconstruction or prosthetic rehabilitation. The latter becomes the means of choice in cases where the former is either not possible, unavailable, unsuccessful, or unaffordable.

Case Report: A case report has been presented of a 60 years old patient with an old traumatic partially amputated index finger.

Treatment Plan: A custom-made glove-type prosthesis was fabricated using silicone elastomer.

Conclusion: A ring is provided for better esthetics and special adhesive is recommended for retention of the prosthesis.

The first and second serosurvey results of COVID-19 antibodies in Dharavi and Cuffe Parade slums (Mumbai, India) were studied. The seroprevalence data of the slums explained the zero novel coronavirus cases reported in the slum dwellers verified first in real on the ground the concept of much needed herd immunity against the pandemic.  First serosurvey data showed that more than half (57%) of the population of Dharavi was infected with the virus. The antibodies were waned off in two month time and diminished to 45%, as found in the second survey conducted after two months of the first survey. The antibodies prevalence was highest at 75% in Cuffe Parade slums of Mumbai. Initially, Dharavi slums were a hotspot of novel coronavirus which later became nearly a no-new infection zone. The herd immunity acquired in Dharavi residents stopped the new infection. One million Dharavi slum dwellers living in a crowded semi-isolated cluster mimic the petri-dish model of a human population which is now a near COVID-19 free zone due to the presence of antibodies in the residents. The infection rate in Maharashtra, India, and Dharavi slums was compared. The concept of herd immunity that occurred on the ground in real has been first established. The research is very useful to vaccinate populations to eradicate the pandemic from the globe.
