“…One of the reasons for this relationship may be the method of reporting COVID-19 daily cases and presenting them to society. According to Kubiczek and Hadasik (2021), the results of COVID-19 incidence rates had a large impact, which affected social behavior, and thus influenced the behavior of investors on the stock market.…”

A highly significant feature of the stock market is its efficiency, which is associated with information efficiency. However, the liquidity of stock on the market is its essential characteristic. The inflow of information in highly liquid markets allows for the maintenance of high information efficiency. The COVID-19 pandemic affected many aspects related to stock markets, including their liquidity. The impact of the pandemic is so multidimensional that there are still areas that need to be investigated. One of them is the intraday liquidity patterns on the stock markets. Therefore, the present paper aims to verify the existence of intraday liquidity patterns on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in three periods: before, during and after the panic caused by the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results confirmed the existence of a U-shaped intraday distribution of the number of transactions and their trading. This outcome highlights the importance of the first and last minutes of a trading session. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the domination of WSE transactions of small individual investors who feared the loss of value of their assets, selling them on the stock exchange. In the pandemic, the average percentage change between transactions increased.

“…These factors, in turn, can lead to a decline in immune function, endocrine disorders, or cardiovascular dysfunction (Stępniak, Tomaszewska 2014). As reported by R. Boguszewski and T. Herudziński (2018), at the stage of introducing the concept of energy poverty to the Polish legal order (Kubiczek, Hadasik, 2021), it was necessary to refer to the modeling of expenses in connection with the parameters of the place of residence. This is undoubtedly more difficult than analysis in absolute terms (where only the shares of energy expenditure in the income available to the household are determined).…”

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this article is to answer the question: does changing the socioeconomic situation alter the households’ condition and energy poverty level in a noticeable manner in the region? (with particular emphasis on the COVID-19 pandemic period). Methodology: An inherent aspect of poverty is the limitation of the broadly defined development opportunities, both on economic, political, and social levels. Since economic poverty co-occurs with the phenomenon of energy poverty in households, the author posited the following thesis: there is a relationship between energy poverty and economic situation of households and health of its members in the region. The analysis will be based on: a study of household budgets, social diagnosis and available reports on energy poverty, and supplemented by an interpretation of an original survey conducted in the Świętokrzyskie voivodeship (conducted in mid-2021 for the previous two years). Main Findings: Effectively combating energy poverty in the country and in a specific area (including the voivodeship) requires adequate recognition of the situation and identification of the people or households affected. The multifaceted nature of the phenomenon does not make it easy to choose which of the known indicators should be analyzed first. Moreover, its consequences vary as well. More details you will see at the conclusion. Applications of the study: The article presents the phenomenon of energy poverty accompanying both social and economic life (the phenomenon of poverty should be considered multidimensionally). The social and health costs of energy poverty were emphasized. The content of the article can be useful for a wide group of recipients interested in the subject under research. Besides, this research is expected to be applied in Jan Kochanowski University during practical meetings with students. Novelty/Originality of the study: The COVID-19 pandemic is having a noticeable impact on society and its members, individual markets, and the economy as a whole. Undeniably we have found ourselves in a difficult situation where numerous concepts are beginning to take on a deeper meaning. This includes energy poverty. In addition, there is no comprehensive research on the topic described in the title (for the Świętokrzyskie voivodeship) and the article tries to fill this gap. The article can inspire further research and inquiry in the field of it.

“…Furthermore, media coverage of an emerging pathogen, as has been witnessed in the current COVID-19 pandemic, has a profound effect on the perception of a disease in a population [34][35][36]. Biased estimates, when reported to the public, have the potential to induce a sense of panic (over-estimation) or complacency (under-estimation) in public perception of risk due to a pathogen.…”

Early estimates of the transmission properties of a newly emerged pathogen are critical to an effective public health response, and are often based on limited outbreak data. Here, we use simulations to investigate a potential source of bias in such estimates, arising from correlations between the viral load of cases in transmission chains. We show that this mechanism can affect estimates of fundamental transmission properties characterising the spread of a virus. Our computational model simulates a disease transmission mechanism in which the viral load of the infector at the time of transmission influences the infectiousness of the infectee. These correlations in transmission pairs produce a population-level decoherence process during which the distributions of initial viral loads in each subsequent generation converge to a steady state. We find that outbreaks arising from index cases with low initial viral loads give rise to early estimates of transmission properties that are subject to large biases. These findings demonstrate the potential for bias arising from transmission mechanics to affect estimates of the transmission properties of newly emerged viruses.
