Since the end of 2022, when China adjusted its COVID-19 response measures, the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic has rapidly grown in the country. It is very necessary to monitor the evolutionary dynamic of epidemic variants. However, detailed reports presenting viral genome characteristics in China during this period are limited. In this study, we examined the epidemiological, genomic, and evolutionary characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 genomes from China. We …
The survival of murine hepatitis virus (a surrogate of Sars-CoV-2) on conventional packaging materials under cold chain conditions
Introduction: The cold chain conditions have been suggested to facilitate long-distance transmission of SARS-CoV-2, but it is unclear how viable the virus is on cold chain packaging materials. Methods: This study used the MHV-JHM strain of murine hepatitis virus as a model organism to investigate the viability of SARS-CoV-2 on foam, plastic, cardboard, and wood sheets at different temperatures (-40°C, -20°C, and 4°C). In addition, the ability of …
Perception of Hurricane and Covid-19 Risks for Household Evacuation and Shelter Intentions
The COVID-19 pandemic presented new challenges for scholars and government officials to predict people’s evacuation decisions under a conflicting natural disaster. In this study, we examined households’ evacuation and shelter intentions given the potential conflicts between the perceived risks from a hurricane and the coexisting public health crisis. We surveyed households living inside hurricane evacuation zones in Florida during the 2020 hurric…
The growing digital divide in education among primary and secondary children during the Covid-19 pandemic
The growing digital divide issues due to the COVID-19 pandemic are critical to widening disparities and inequalities. Yet, only a few studies have explored the impacts of the digital divide on the education sector. In particular, there is a research gap related to younger students of primary and secondary schools. This study addresses this research gap by providing an overview of the digital divide’s impacts on social exclusion and education equa…
Updating the Institutional Collective Action Framework
The Institutional Collective Action (ICA) framework has contributed to understanding collective action problems in fragmented governance and identified mechanisms for overcoming them. Participation in collaboration is risky––even if it has the potential to make all parties better off. This framework has uniquely shown how collaboration risk and other transaction costs can be overcome to create effective collaborations for addressing complex polic…
Long term natural restoration creates soil‐like microbial communities in bauxite residue
Ecological reconstruction on bauxite residue (tailings) disposal areas is regarded as an effective approach to eliminate potential environmental risks. Establishment of microbial communities and associated functions may improve physical and chemical properties, and may stimulate soil formation in bauxite residue. Spontaneous colonization at a disposal area in Shandong Province, China, over 50 years, indicated that natural weathering can ameliorat…
