“…The world has seen one of the worst crises known to the history of mankind in the form of COVID-19 pandemic which has caused global unrest and devastation to the worldwide economy (Arora et al 2020;Rajput et al 2020). Having its contagious nature and health risks, the disease has forced worldwide disturbance such as lockdowns; closure of ports and airports; strict manpower norms; limiting imports and exports and so on (Bherwani et al 2020;Sharma et al 2020;Rajput et al 2020;Gautam 2020).…”

has affected the global economy like no other crisis in the history of mankind. It forced worldwide lockdown and economic shutdown to the point from where the recovery process has been very difficult. It has affected demand, supply, production and consumption in such a way that the entire economic development cycle has gone to its lowest levels. COVID-19 has also affected the social and economic sustainability structure which has led from one crisis to another and the developing countries have been the worst hit. Economic crisis resulted in unemployment leading to labour migrations, inevitable casualties and rising poverty etc. However, at a certain level, a few industries and organizations have shown resilience with better anticipation and survivability which may lead them to a quicker recovery. The current study aims at presenting a holistic view of organizational resilience which leads to the overall sustainable development. The study considers three aspects of organizational resilience as crisis anticipation, organizational robustness and recoverability. It assesses the impact of the aspects of resilience on social sustainability and economic sustainability. The study uses empirical analysis of primary data which is analysed to verify the hypothesized relationships by using a structural equation modelling approach. The study finds out that predicting the crisis and disruptions, building robustness and recoverability have a positive effect on both the social and economic aspects of sustainability. Findings of the study have their practical implications for industry, researchers and society.

Since the emergence of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, every country has implemented digital solutions in the form of mobile applications, web-based frameworks, and/or integrated platforms in which huge amounts of personal data are collected for various purposes (e.g., contact tracing, suspect search, and quarantine monitoring). These systems not only collect basic data about individuals but, in most cases, very sensitive data like their movements, spatio-temporal activities, travel history, visits to churches/clubs, purchases, and social interactions. While collection and utilization of person-specific data in different contexts is essential to limiting the spread of COVID-19, it increases the chances of privacy breaches and personal data misuse. Recently, many privacy protection techniques (PPTs) have been proposed based on the person-specific data included in different data types (e.g., tables, graphs, matrixes, barcodes, and geospatial data), and epidemic containment strategies (ECSs) (contact tracing, quarantine monitoring, symptom reports, etc.) in order to minimize privacy breaches and to permit only the intended uses of such personal data. In this paper, we present an extensive review of the PPTs that have been recently proposed to address the diverse privacy requirements/concerns stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. We describe the heterogeneous types of data collected to control this pandemic, and the corresponding PPTs, as well as the paradigm shifts in personal data handling brought on by this pandemic. We systemically map the recently proposed PPTs into various ECSs and data lifecycle phases, and present an in-depth review of existing PPTs and evaluation metrics employed for analysis of their suitability. We describe various PPTs developed during the COVID-19 period that leverage emerging technologies, such as federated learning, blockchain, privacy by design, and swarm learning, to name a few. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges of preserving individual privacy during a pandemic, the role of privacy regulations/laws, and promising future research directions. With this article, our aim is to highlight the recent PPTs that have been specifically proposed for the COVID-19 arena, and point out research gaps for future developments in this regard.

“…This global pandemic has been considered as a public health emergency of global concern (Song and Karako 2020). It has affected all aspects of human life and has challenged the health care systems worldwide (Arora et al 2020). In line with these concerns, governments and the scientific community reacted promptly to the outbreak of this pandemic.…”

A coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) caused by a novel coronavirus has appeared in China by the end of 2019 and later recognized as a global pandemic. This pandemic has evolved as a global public health menace. It has affected every aspect of human life. In line with these concerns, governments and the scientific community react promptly to the outbreak of this pandemic. These efforts are devoted to develop vaccine and curative medicines. Further efforts are dedicated to assessing the impacts of the pandemic in relation to socioeconomic, psychological, and environmental dimensions. In this regard, it is important to follow up developments and research activities on this global issue. The present work intended to tracking the current hotspots and research trends on COVID-19 in environmental fields. Bibliometric analysis and visualization mapping were utilized with the objective of revealing and evaluating the developments in knowledge on COVID-2019 and its impacts based on a collection of environmental sources. A sum of 729 documents were collected from Scopus database limiting to environmental sources only. Of all these publications, 563 (77.2%) were articles, 56 (7.7%) were reviews, and 110 (15.0%) were others. China has the highest share of publications (163; 22.4%). It is followed by the USA (139; 19.15), and Italy (110; 15.1%). Most publications on COVID-19 were in prestigious journals. The most productive institution at global level was Chinese Academy of Sciences, China (24 documents; 3.3%). The most prevalent topics are in relation to impacts of the pandemic on air quality, mental health, psychological, and economic aspects. The development of these topics is based on cross-sectional studies, evidence-based tools, remote sensing, satellite mapping, geographic information systems, market analysis and sampling. The progress of environmental research on COVID-19 will guide the development of global environmental strategies to control future global environmental risks.
