Anatomizing the Library: Virtual Anatomy Table Services in an Academic Library
Authors: Dixson Melanie , Kirkpatrick Niki
Published: August 2022

A growing number of academic, medical, and health sciences libraries are adopting 3D virtual anatomy tables (also known as virtual dissection tables) to support active learning initiatives within their anatomy educational communities. This article explores the implementation and management practices of virtual anatomy table (VAT) services offered by an academic library within a large public land-grant university system. The authors will share details surrounding their library's virtual anatomy table acquisition process and the development of VAT services for anatomy learners and instructors on their campus. This article will also discuss their VAT operational challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and highlight plans for VAT services at their library.
Fat Embolism Syndrome Complicated by Acute Pulmonary Thromboembolism after Bilateral Femoral Shaft Fractures: Two Nightmares in The Same Patient
Authors: Shafi Aamir , Islam awhar Ul , Ahad Wani Abdul , Zahoor Aariba
Published: August 2022

Fat embolism syndrome (FES) is an uncommon but fatal complication usually in orthopedic trauma especially after a long bone fracture. A high level of suspicion should be kept in mind when a patient of long bone fracture develops hypoxia, confusion or rash in the absence of infection and other causes of respiratory failure. Concomitant FES and pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a more rarer entity in comparison to FES and pulmonary thromboembolism as separate entities. There are few cases reported in literature wherein patients developed concomitant FES and pulmonary embolism. Almost in all cases fat embolism syndrome and pulmonary embolism occurred either simultaneously or pulmonary thromboembolism was complicated by FES. We report a case wherein patient initially developed FES pre-operatively which was later on complicated by acute pulmonary thromboembolism in the post-operative period.

Authors: Rivera Vázquez Ricardo , Herrera Hernández María Guadalupe , Guzmán Maldonado Salvador Horacio
Published: August 2022

Para conservar los recursos naturales se ha propuesto la reforestación con especies nativas que tengan una utilidad. Ejemplo de lo anterior es Myrtillocactus geometrizans, conocido comúnmente como garambullo; esta cactácea crece en zonas áridas de México y su fruto se considera como un alimento nutraceútico por su alto contenido de compuestos fitoquímicos. Por ello, la finalidad del proyecto aquí descrito consistió en evaluar dos sistemas de reforestación directa, con esquejes y con esquejes desarrollados en vivero. Se seleccionaron ejemplares de acuerdo con las características de los frutos y condiciones de sanidad de la planta; como resultado se obtuvieron 1 000 esquejes para usarlos en reforestación directa y 1 000 esquejes para cultivarlos en vivero. Fueron cinco viveros rústicos bajo las mismas condiciones de manejo para producir planta de garambullo; se registró el desarrollo de estructuras nuevas (como raíces) y vigor del esqueje. La reforestación se realizó en la comunidad de El Garabatillo, municipio Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato, donde crece la especie de forma natural. En el caso de la reforestación directa, la supervivencia de la planta fue de 70.3 % con una buena evolución de los ejemplares, mientras que la supervivencia de la planta en vivero fue de 90.6 % con un buen desarrollo radicular al momento de la plantación en campo. Se determinó que ambos sistemas (plantación directa y desarrollo en vivero) son confiables para reforestar predios con garambullo, sobre todo en regiones donde la especie existe en forma natural.

Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes, Some Forms of Cancer Through the Use of Chatbots
Authors: Latokha Illia
Published: August 2022

At present time in Ukraine, as well as all over the world, the significant and inreasing frequency of non-communicable diseases is detecting. According to the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the most common cause of death in 2021 and in previous years was cardiovascular disease (a total of 306,127 people died in the first nine months of 2021). The second most common cause of death is oncology. In first 10 months of 2021 55,828 Ukrainians died from cancer (in 2020 - 77,880 people). The focus of attention of the UN member states is on diseases of the cardio-vascular system, diabetes mellitus, neoplasms and chronic respiratory diseases. They lead to the long-term disability, reduced family welfare, and to the huge burden on the healthcare system, which requires additional financial investments.
Prevention of non-communicable diseases for primary care is regulated by the Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine “About the approval of the Procedures for primary care” from 19.03.2018 № 504, but due to migration of patients with the choice of a new doctor and transition to the electronic records which do not take into account the most prevalent risk factors, the process of primary prevention has become even more difficult.
At the same time, social networks and online resources have developed significantly, and its use to improve healthcare could be helpful. Many remote programs have already been developed to assess the risks of many diseases. The disadvantage of these test systems is that they are fragmented, and patient need to visit seven different sites, which takes more time.
The author of the article suggests to use Telegram and Viber chatbots for primary prevention activity. The @Doctor TESLA resource consists of 29 questions for men and 38 questions for women. Most questions are anamnestic. According to the identified risk factors, the chatbot provides to the user a brief comment and offers detailed recommendations on their non-pharmacological correction. If the patient shows signes of the high risk, the program automatically refers him/her to family physician and / or specialist.
TINJAUAN SISTEM KERJA SAMA (MUKHABARAH) DI BIDANG PERTANIAN DALAM PERSPEKTIF ISLAM
Authors: Sari Muspita
Published: August 2022

AbstractThis article aims to explain about cooperation in the management of agricultural land in accordance with Islamic law, whether it is allowed or not allowed in Islam. This cooperation is known as mukhabarah. This kind of cooperation system is still a matter of debate in the Islamic world, especially among fiqh scholars. This is based on the presence or absence of elements of usury, maysir, gharar, and others in its process. Thus, it is able to provide an overview of how the cooperative mechanism for managing agricultural land is recommended in Islam in order to provide benefits for all stakeholders because it can be a medium for helping people who do not own land but are able to cultivate. It also makes it easier for land owners to keep their land productive and earn income. ABSTRAK Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan mengenai kerja sama dalam pengelolaanilahan pertanian yang sesuai dengan syariat Islam apakah diperbolehkan atau tidak dibenarkan dalam islam. Kerja sama ini disebut dengan istilah mukhabarah. Sistem kerja sama semacam ini masih menjadi perdebatan dalam dunia Islam khususnya dikalangan ulama fikih. Hal tersebut disandarkan pada ada atau tidak adanya unsur riba, maysir, gharar, dan lain-lain dalam proses kerja sama tersebut. Sehingga mampu menggambarkan bagaimana mekanisme kerja sama pengelolaan lahan pertanian yang dianjurkan dalam Islam agar memberikan maslahat bagi semua pihak yang bersangkutan, karena dapat menjadi wadah tolong menolong antara masyarakat yang tidak memiliki lahan tapi mempunyai kemampuan untuk menggarap serta memudahkan bagi pemilik lahan agar lahannya tetap produktif serta dapat berpenghasilan.
Limited Backlash? Assessing the Geographic Scope of Electoral Responses to Refugees
Authors: Ferwerda Jeremy , Riaz Sascha
Published: August 2022

Recent research suggests that local exposure to refugees does not increase support for far-right parties. We challenge this null result by drawing on granular data from Berlin in the wake of the Syrian refugee crisis. While prior work in the German context has generally assumed that refugee exposure is exogenous at the local level, we demonstrate that refugee housing was disproportionately concentrated in neighborhoods with young, non-citizen residents. To address this selection bias, we harmonize in-person and mail-in precinct boundaries across elections and implement a difference-in-differences design with synthetic precincts. We find that localized exposure to refugee housing sharply increased support for the far-right in the 2017 federal elections. However, this backlash is geographically narrow in scope. Our findings nuance prior research by demonstrating that even if sociotropic concerns dominate electoral responses to the refugee crisis, voters' responses are consistent with group threat theory at the local level.

Fighting symptom or root cause? - The need for shifting the focus in climate politics from greenhouse gases to environmental protection
Authors: Rinder Thomas , Neuber Frederike , von Hagke Christoph
Published: August 2022

Addressing the environmental crisis requires a substantial change of our current lifestyle. Yet, in media coverage and political communication, climate change has taken the lead over other aspects such as biodiversity loss and one may sometimes get the impression that reducing greenhouse gas emissions is fighting the root cause itself. The atmosphere, however, does not respond linearly to our reduction efforts and a certain temperature lock in above preindustrial levels is unavoidable. Because of the lack of an obvious direct benefit in the short term, public support for mitigation measures may diminish rapidly. Accordingly, focusing communication on the need for greenhouse gas reduction mayeventually not be useful to induce sustainability transformation of society. We thus argue that there is a need to emphasize climate change mitigation as part of a more holistic practice of nature conservation and environmental protection, rather than an end in itself.
The Positive Association of Education with the Trust in Science and Scientists is Weaker in Highly Corrupt Countries
Authors: Alper Sinan , Yelbuz Busra Elif , Akkurt Sümeyra Bengisu , Yilmaz Onurcan
Published: August 2022

One of the most prominent correlates of trust in science and scientists is education level, possibly because educated individuals have higher levels of science knowledge and thinking ability, suggesting that trusting science and scientists relies more on reflective thinking abilities. However, it is relatively more reasonable for highly educated individuals to suspect authority figures in highly corrupt countries. We tested this prediction in two nationally representative and probabilistic cross-cultural data sets (Study 1: 142 countries, N = 40,085; Study 2: 47 countries, N = 69,332), and found that the positive association between education and trust in scientists (Study 1) and science (Study 2) was weaker or non-existent in highly corrupt countries. The results did not change after statistically controlling for age, sex, household income, and residence. We suggest future research to be more considerate of the societal context in understanding how education status correlates with trust in science and scientists.
Talking With Strangers is Surprisingly Informative
Authors: Atir Stav , Wald Kristina , Epley Nicholas
Published: August 2022

A meaningful amount of people’s knowledge comes from their conversations with others. The amount people expect to learn predicts their interest in having a conversation (Pretests 1-2), suggesting that the presumed information value of conversations guides decisions of whom to talk with. The results of seven experiments, however, suggest that people may systematically underestimate the informational benefit of conversation, creating a barrier to talking with—and hence learning from—others more often in daily life. Participants who were asked to talk with another person expected to learn significantly less from the conversation than they actually reported learning afterwards, regardless of whether they had conversation prompts or not and whether they had the goal to learn or not (Exp 1-2). Undervaluing conversation does not stem from having systematically poor opinions of how much others know (Exp 3), but is instead related to the inherent uncertainty involved in conversation itself. Consequently, people underestimate learning to a lesser extent when uncertainty is reduced, as in a nonsocial context (surfing the web, Exp 4), when talking to an acquainted conversation partner (Exp 5), and after knowing the content of the conversation (Exp 6). Underestimating learning in conversation is distinct from underestimating other positive qualities in conversation, such as enjoyment (Exp 7). Misunderstanding how much can be learned in conversation could keep people from learning more from others in daily life.
Beyond us: Building collective wellbeing
Authors: Lambert Louise , Warren Meg Aum , Waldrop Rachael , AlSubaiei Sabrina , Eubanks Alecia , Fisher Jen
Published: August 2022

The mission of positive psychology is to explore and build wellbeing in the lives of individuals the world over; however, like all theoretical frameworks, its evolution propels researchers and practitioners into increasingly complex issues. Developments in the field promote a broader view on wellbeing, focusing on culture, religion, social interactions, and climate action. Global issues have encouraged the need for a systemic view of wellbeing that is beyond the remit of individuals and extends to organizations, governments and societies alike. In short, the time has come for a global, contextual and systemic understanding of wellbeing. Here, we address the development of these frameworks and three emerging areas as examples of their utility; namely, climate change, egalitarianism as an aid to inter-group relations, and the need for purposeful non-Western views of wellbeing.
Working memory load does not reduce the SNARC effect: Replication of van Dijck, Gevers, & Fias (2009), Experiment 1
Authors: de Leeuw Joshua R , Charles Tessa
Published: August 2022

We replicated experiment 1 of van Dijck, Gevers, and Fias (2009). Participants completed a parity judgment task twice: once under spatial or verbal working memory load and once under no load. We found no evidence that the SNARC effect decreased under either type of memory load. This is in contrast to the original results, which reported that the SNARC effect disappeared under verbal but not spatial working memory load. This replication was conducted as part of the Center for Open Science's efforts in the SCORE project, a large-scale collaboration to assess the credibility of research claims in the social and behavioral sciences.
Adaptive LASSO in High-dimensions
Authors: Wahid Abdul
Published: August 2022

The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selector operator (LASSO) is a famous method for estimation and predictor selection simultaneously. But in certain situations where the LASSO is not consistent for predictor selection, Zou (2006). Therefore, he suggested a new type of the LASSO, called the adaptive LASSO, where ordinary least squares estimators are used as weights for penalizing different coefficients in the L1 penalty. He proved that the adaptive LASSOenjoys the oracle properties. But in high-dimensional data problems, (p >> n), the weights foradaptive LASSO is infeasible to calculated. Huang et al. (2008) have studied the asymptoticproperties of the adaptive Lasso estimators in sparse, high-dimensional linear regression modelsunder suitable conditions. Mainly, they assumed that under a partial orthogonality conditionin which the predictors with zero coefficients are weakly correlated with the covariates withnonzero coefficients, marginal regression can be used to obtain the initial estimator. In thisarticle, this assumption is relax and used the ridge regression coefficients as weights in theL1penalty. In this scenario, it is also prove that the adaptive LASSO still has the oracleproperty under given situations. Simulations and real data analysis are carried out to provideprediction and variable selection performance of suggested technique.

TIVA Measurements with Visible and 1064-nm Lasers
Authors: Tangyunyong Paiboon , Rodarte Andrea
Published: August 2022

Laser stimulation is widely used to reveal defects in ICs through either heating or photonic effects. The standard approach is to use lasers with wavelengths above the bandgap wavelength of silicon to create localized heating and below it to generate photocurrent. In practice, most FAs use 1340 nm (IR) lasers for TIVA measurements and either 532 nm (visible) or 1064 nm (near IR) lasers for LIVA analysis. However, as this article demonstrates, visible and near IR lasers can also be used for TIVA analysis and, in some cases, may be preferrable based on signal strength and spatial resolution.

Such improvements have had a significant impact on failure analysis through the emergence of new TEM techniques, including precession electron diffraction for grain and strain analysis, noise reduction processing for low dose EELS mapping of ultra-low-k materials, and EDX tomography for elemental 3D imaging of defects on a nanometer scale.
The role of Comprehensive Sexuality Education on Child Sexual Abuse and Teenage Pregnancy among secondary school learners
Authors: Chibuye Stephen , Kumatongo Brighton
Published: August 2022

The introduction of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) in the Zambian school curriculum has raised debate among stakeholders. Despite the Ministry of Education using Comprehensive Sexuality Education as a way of reducing various challenges faced by learners with regards to their sexuality education, the effectiveness and mode of implementing CSE is a source of concern.  This study sought to explore the perceptions of learners and teachers on the role of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) in reducing child sexual abuse and teenage pregnancy. The total number of 60 participants who included 40 secondary school learners and 20 secondary school teachers from two secondary schools in Kitwe District on the Copperbelt Province of Zambia. The findings revealed that 50% of the learners were of the view the CSE had failed its goal of reducing child sexual abuse. The study further indicated that 60% of the teachers and 50% of the learners agreed that CSE helped to prevent early sex and teenage pregnancies in learners. The study concluded that both teachers and learners were of the views that CSE increased awareness on child sexual abuse to learners. The study recommended the need by the Ministry of Education to promote guidance and counselling services in schools with emphasis on peer counselling and peer-led life skills education to address issues of child sexual abuse and teenage pregnancy as well as the need by teachers to implement CSE by integrating its content in currier subjects and not teaching it as standalone subject.

Authors: Gajić Anja , Arsić Bojana , Vidojković Sara , Maćešić-Petrović Dragana , Bašić Aleksandra
Published: August 2022

Stimulus-stimulus (ss) pairing procedure can be used in a variety of ways in treatment of people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), however it is mostly used in inducing vocal speech in nonverbal children. Research shows that using this procedure is more efficient for increasing the number of emitted words when compared to other procedures. Therefore, the aim of this case study is to examine the effectiveness of the use of ss pairing procedure in order to induce vocal speech with a nonverbal child diagnosed with ASD. At the very first session of the procedure implementation, the child spoke clear words, while in the last session, the number of spoken words per session was 192. Having in mind the effectiveness of the implemented procedure, as well as data that parents of children with ASD can be successfully trained to use this procedure in their home environment, it is important to train them to implement it correctly. This is of great importance because the majority of the children with ASD are nonverbal, and lack of communication correlates with problem behavior.
The role of language in word-problem solving: a meta-analysis
Authors: Flores Martín , Urrutia Mabel
Published: August 2022

The relationship between language proficiency and word-problem solving has been extensively studied in the last three decades with one main finding: language proficiency is directly proportional to word-problem solving scores. Researchers have focused on language accommodations to standardized tests to level the playing field for nonnative speakers. Interestingly, several meta-analyses on language accommodation have noted that there are no significant effects on scores. At the same time, most research has reported significance and not effect sizes, which does not allow to establish comparisons between studies. Therefore, the purpose of this meta-analyses was to study the effect size of studies conducted in the US and the rest of the world to provide a new population effect size and identify possible moderator variables that have not been considered before. The main findings were that the differences in scores between native speakers and nonnative speakers (g=.360) were less pronounced than previously reported (g=.604). The participants’ age and the language of instruction and testing moderated a small percentage of the effect size, which leads to the need to include specific information about the participants to provide a clearer picture of this relationship and eventually provide language accommodations that have significant effects on scores.

BACKGROUND: Patellar fractures are common intra-articular fractures. Arthroscopically assisted reduction and fixation has been shown to advantageous in the treatment of patellar fractures. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the effect of arthroscopically assisted percutaneous minimally invasive Kirschner wire tension band fixation on the treatment of patellar fractures. METHODS: Thirty-four patients with acute closed patellar fractures enrolled in the study and were managed by arthroscopically assisted percutaneous minimally invasive Kirschner wire tension band fixation under epidural anesthesia. Among these patients, 24 were males, and ten were females. The mean age of these patients was 38 ± 0.8 years (range: 25–62 years). Of these patients, 20 had transverse fractures, five had longitudinal fractures, four had marginal oblique fractures, and five had multifragmentary upper and lower pole. Fracture causes: 25 were caused by falls, and nine were caused by traffic accidents. The time from injury to operation was 6–48 hours, with an average of 23 hours. The average post-operative follow-up was 12.8 months, and at the end of follow-up, the Boestman scoring system was used to evaluate knee joint function. RESULTS: All the wounds healed by first intention, and no infections, skin necrosis, joint stiffness, or other complications occurred. Three months after operation, the tension band wire had broken in one patient, but the fracture had united, and this did not affect the prognosis. In eight patients, the average circumference at 10 cm above the patella was 0.6 cm less on the injured side than on the contralateral side. The average Boestman score was 27.5. The final result was excellent in 25 patients, good in eight patients, and acceptable in one patient. CONCLUSION: Arthroscopic management of simple patellar fracture with percutaneous minimally invasive Kirschner wire tension band fixation is less invasive than open operation, while still leading to firm fixation, and is conducive to early functional training and functional recovery, and thus is an effective method of management for patellar fractures.

PURPOSE: To investigate the value of a CT-based radiomics model in identification of Crohn’s disease (CD) active phase and remission phase. METHODS: CT images of 101 patients diagnosed with CD were retrospectively collected, which included 60 patients in active phase and 41 patients in remission phase. These patients were randomly divided into training group and test group at a ratio of 7 : 3. First, the lesion areas were manually delineated by the physician. Meanwhile, radiomics features were extracted from each lesion. Next, the features were selected by t-test and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression algorithm. Then, several machine learning models including random forest (RF), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), support vector machine (SVM), logistic regression (LR) and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithms were used to construct CD activity classification models respectively. Finally, the soft-voting mechanism was used to integrate algorithms with better effects to perform two classifications of data, and the receiver operating characteristic curves were applied to evaluate the diagnostic value of the models. RESULTS: Both on the training set and the test set, AUC of the five machine learning classification models reached 0.85 or more. The ensemble soft-voting classifier obtained by using the combination of SVM, LR and KNN could better distinguish active CD from CD remission. For the test set, AUC was 0.938, and accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.903, 0.911, and 0.892, respectively. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that the established radiomics model could objectively and effectively diagnose CD activity. The integrated approach has better diagnostic performance.

There are subjective and objective acoustic parameters in the creation of acoustic performance for speech action in room acoustics. Control of reverberation time affecting subjective and objective acoustic parameters is a main parameter in room acoustics. In this study, the acoustic performance assessment of the TOBB Twins Headquarters Reception Hall, which is current enclosed space with square plan and flat floor, has been performed as a case study. The evaluation focused on the relationship between reverberation time and interior surface absorption. Primarily, the reverberation time was determined according to the international standard with in-situ measurements in the current enclosed space. The reverberation time of the space was found over the reference value range. Models have been developed with the use of materials to reduce the reverberation time. In the assessment of room acoustics parameters, reverberation times of the models developed using Ecotect v.5.20 and Odeon 14.00 simulation programs have been determined. The model in which the optimum reverberation time for the speech action was obtained was constructed. After the construction, reverberation time measurements have been made again. As a result of the study, the effect of surface absorptions on the improvement of reverberation time in the enclosed spaces with square plan and flat floor for speech action has been evaluated. Suggestions have been developed to control the reflective and absorption properties of all surfaces in accordance with the evaluation and improvement of reverberation time.

La procrastinación es el hábito de posponer o retrasar la finalización de una obligación, evitando las responsabilidades, decisiones y tareas que requieren ser completadas. En ocasiones, los estudiantes de nivel superior suelen utilizar pretextos, mentiras y cualquier otro tipo de explicación para excusar la postergación o incumplimiento de sus labores académicas, siendo incapaces de realizar exitosamente ciertas actividades. El propósito principal de este estudio es señalar los factores personales y externos que influyen en la procrastinación en hombres y mujeres dentro de las carreras de ingeniería, para así evaluar los que afectan en mayor medida el rendimiento académico. Para lograrlo, se evaluaron al azar a 366 estudiantes de diferentes carreras de ingeniería. Se les aplicó una adaptación de la Escala de Procrastinación General y Académica y la Escala de Evaluación de Procrastinación para Estudiantes (PASS por sus siglas en inglés), conformada por 18 ítems, adicional a la información general requerida para la obtención de los datos. Posterior a esto, con los datos recolectados, se observó que el factor personal, autorregulación académica, es el de mayor incidencia hacia la procrastinación. De igual manera, determinamos que el porcentaje de procrastinación en hombres es mayor que en mujeres. Finalmente, determinamos que la correlación existente entre la procrastinación y el rendimiento académico es de tipo negativa, descartando la presencia de una relación significativa entré sí.

La exigencia higrotérmica rige las condiciones ambientales de las aulas de clase de forma que garantiza a los estudiantes y profesores el balance térmico del cuerpo humano en su intercambio de calor con el ambiente circundante. Siendo esta una condición importante para el desempeño de las labores académicas, se realizó un diseño de experimentos de modelo completamente al azar de un factor para examinar si existen diferencias significativas en la temperatura promedio a diferentes horas de medición, durante dos días diferentes, en 2018 y 2019, en los salones de clase, para así inspeccionar si se cumple con las recomendaciones de temperatura operativa planteadas por las normas ISO. Primeramente, se realizó una aleatorización de la unidad experimental, los 30 salones de la planta, para la recolección de datos. Luego de la toma de datos, se revisó el cumplimiento de los supuestos de Normalidad, Homocedasticidad e Independencia, primordiales para el modelo. Después, se hizo la comprobación de la hipótesis principal del modelo estadístico, mediante la prueba ANOVA. También, se realizó el contraste de las temperaturas medias de ambos años con el rango promedio de temperatura operativa óptima. Seguido, se realizó la prueba de comparación múltiple de Duncan para analizar qué horas del día causan o no diferencias significativas. Finalmente, se concluyó que sí existen diferencias significativas en las medias de las temperaturas para diferentes horas de medición para ambos años y que se cumple con las condiciones de operación sugeridas.

Authors: Humphreys R , Chakraborty R , Varghese N
Published: August 2022

While the causes of human-animal conflict are numerous, many are intertwined with food production systems and the wildlife trade. The emergence and spread of Covid-19 exemplify this. Indeed, the wildlife population in South Asian countries has seen an increase in the risk of both human and nonhuman death in recent months, and as the economy slows, the search for food and extra income will intensify, negatively impacting wildlife. This paper aims to address some of the ethical issues concerning our treatment of nonhuman creatures and the environment in relation to the global food system and wildlife trade following the Covid-19 crisis.
