“…The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused major disruption to our economy and social activities ( Nyenhuis, Greiwe, Zeiger, Nanda, & Cooke, 2020 ; Seetharaman, 2020 ), particularly to the entertainment industry, leading to a total shutdown of music production and public events ( France, 2020 ; Garcia et al, 2020 ). While businesses have started to recover, as of today, with stringent preventive measures in place to minimize risk ( Bartoszko, Farooqi, Alhazzani, & Loeb, 2020 ; Cheng et al, 2020 ; Sommerstein et al, 2020 ), many such measures, including mask-wearing, cannot be readily implemented to musical activities.…”

The potential airborne transmission of COVID-19 has raised significant concerns regarding the safety of musical activities involving wind instruments. However, currently, there is a lack of systematic study and quantitative information of the aerosol generation during these instruments, which is crucial for offering risk assessment and the corresponding mitigation strategies for the reopening of these activities. Collaborating with 15 musicians from the Minnesota Orchestra, we conduct a systematic study of the aerosol generation from a large variety of wind instruments under different music dynamic levels and articulation patterns. We find that the aerosol concentration from different brass and woodwinds exhibits two orders of magnitude variation. Accordingly, we categorize the instruments into low (tuba), intermediate (bassoon, piccolo, flute, bass clarinet, French horn, and clarinet) and high risk (trumpet, bass trombone, and oboe) levels based on a comparison of their aerosol generation with those from normal breathing and speaking. In addition, we observe that the aerosol generation can be affected by the changing dynamic level, articulation pattern, the normal respiratory behaviors of individuals, and even the usage of some special techniques during the instrument play. However, such effects vary substantially for different types of instrument, depending on specific breathing techniques as well as the tube structure and inlet design of the instrument. Overall, our findings can bring insights into the risk assessment of airborne decrease transmission and the corresponding mitigation strategies for various musical activities involving wind instrument plays, including orchestras, community and worship bands, music classes, etc.

“…The world is currently in the grip of the Covid-19 pandemic. Covid-19 has had a profound effect on the way in which organisations conduct their business (Bartik et al, 2020), often necessitating a change in their business models (Seetharaman, 2020). Figure 1Not surprisingly, Covid-19 represents one of the most significant environmental changes in the modern marketing history, which could potentially have a significant impact on many facets of an organisation's marketing operation (He & Harris, 2020).…”

This study represents a scholarly endeavour to explore the effects of Covid-19 perceptions on customer orientation via job insecurity, burnout and workplace motivation alongside generational effects non-equivalency amongst a sample of customer service employees working in different businesses located in three countries in the MENA region. We received 752 responses composed of three generations (i.e. X, Y, and Z) that were analysed mainly using Partial-Least-Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) approach and that included path and multigroup analyses. Our results show that intense Covid-19 perceptions have indirect adverse effects on customer orientation via a sequence of mediators comprising job insecurity, burnout and workplace motivation. Non-equivalency is spotted across generations regarding the relationships between job insecurity and burnout, burnout and motivation as well as motivation and customer orientation. Besides, intense Covid-19 perceptions act more substantially as an indirect trigger of less favourable levels of customer orientation amongst younger generations.

“…The new digital technologies have reshaped and transformed the nature of entrepreneurial processes and outcomes, including the methods of dealing with such uncertainty, specific to a climate as the one generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In these conditions, one can notice the premises of tackling digitalization even more seriously [50], especially considering how it facilitates the enriching of entrepreneurship initiatives but also strengthens the digital transformation processes of existing entrepreneurs [51], including in the case of the Romanian counties-and even more in those that are the wealthiest [52]. Regarding the scientific interest concerning the entrepreneurship-resilience-cities relationship, it has intensified since 2017.…”

Sustainable socio-economic development can be looked upon from multiple perspectives, but no longer without considering the roles of urban planning, smart cities and eco-innovative entrepreneurial initiatives. In the context of the COVID-19 crisis, ensuring sustainable socio-economic development is definitely challenging, but not impossible if adopting appropriate measures. This research aimed at analyzing the multidimensional facets of entrepreneurial resilience during times of crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in Romania, while focusing on the effects experienced in the wealthiest areas, specific to urban agglomerations. The research method consisted of constructing a composite indicator comprising appropriate components for assessing the level of wealth and “happiness” of all the Romanian counties. Through the lens of this composite indicator, entrepreneurial resilience was approached in multiple manners according to its diverse forms. Research findings highlight that entrepreneurial resilience tends to be stronger qualitatively and quantitatively in less developed areas than in those that are well developed, mainly due to the lack of entrepreneurial initiatives. Despite being less entrepreneurially resilient, qualitatively, the wealthiest Romanian counties can economically reinvent themselves quicker.
