“…In comparison, the GIDEIMS provides more comprehensive disease information than other COVID-19 epidemic information systems. Compared with the geographic information system for global monitoring of COVID-19 established by Johns Hopkins University [103], whose initial data were collected from the World Health Organization (WHO), US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), China CDC, European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), National Health Commission of China (NHC), and DXY (a Chinese health-focused social website), the GIDEIMS could provide a full picture of the worldwide situation of the COVID-19 epidemic.…”

BACKGROUND Obtaining comprehensive epidemic information for the targeted global infection disease is crucial for travel health. However, different infectious disease information websites may have various purposes which may lead misunderstanding for travelers and travel health staff for the accurate epidemic control and managmement. OBJECTIVE Developed A Global Infectious Diseases Epidemic Information Monitoring System (GIDEIMS)，in order to get comprehensive and timely global epidemic information. METHODS Distributed web crawler and cloud agent acceleration technology are used to automatically collect epidemic information for more than 200 infectious diseases from 26 established epidemic websites and Baidu news. Natural language processing and in-depth learning technology have been developed to intelligently process epidemic information collected in 28 languages. Currently, the GIDEIMS presents world epidemic information using a geographical map, including date, disease name and reported cases of different countries , epidemic situations in China, etc. RESULTS In order to make a practical assessment of the GIDEIMS, on July 16, 2019, We checked infectious disease data collected from GIDEIMS and other websites. Compared with the Global Incident Map and Outbreak News Today, GIDEIMS provided more comprehensive information on human infectious diseases. GIDEIMS is currently used in the Health Quarantine Department of Shenzhen Customs District (Shenzhen, China), and is recommended to the Health Quarantine Administrative Department of the General Administration of Customs (China) and travel health-related departments. CONCLUSIONS GIDEIMS provides a helpful tool for travelers and travel health management staff with travel health management.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many organizations in the world to fully utilize variety of emerging online communication platform technologies. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are among these organizations that obliged students and instructors to use different online communication platforms to insure uninterrupted education process. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has generated many considerable challenges for the global higher education community while using such emerging technologies. The purpose of this study is to analyze university student’s perceptions on the challenges and hurdles they face during the Covid-19 pandemic when they use IT platform applications for online learning activities. This research used mixed methods research with main emphasis on qualitative research, supported by literature content analysis techniques. The data set for this study was collected during peak time of pandemic period between 16<sup>th</sup> of May 2020 to 5<sup>th</sup> of Jun 2020. Based on the descriptive analysis using SPSS and the analyzed results using NVivo12 for the data that was collected from 486 students from different universities in Malaysia, students disclosed various obstacles they encounter when they use IT platform applications for online learning. These obstacles are summarized as follows: (1) Work and information overload received from instructors through online learning platforms (2) Technical challenges related to students’ lack of affordability for having online learning support facilities (3) Personal health challenges related to stress and anxiety problems.

“…The disease is mainly a respiratory tract viral infection caused by newly emerging strains of coronaviruses. More than 60 million confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases, including almost 1.5 million deaths, have been reported globally in 189 countries since its inception up to October 2022[ 1 ]. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) disease infection has mainly targeted the respiratory tract system.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused changes in the global health system, causing significant setbacks in healthcare systems worldwide. This pandemic has also shown resilience, flexibility, and creativity in reacting to the tragedy. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection targets most of the respiratory tract, resulting in a severe sickness called acute respiratory distress syndrome that may be fatal in some individuals. Although the lung is the primary organ targeted by COVID-19 viruses, the clinical aspect of the disease is varied and ranges from asymptomatic to respiratory failure. However, due to an unorganized immune response and several affected mechanisms, the liver may also experience liver cell injury, ischemic liver dysfunction, and drug-induced liver injury, which can result in respiratory failure because of the immune system’s disordered response and other compromised processes that can end in multisystem organ failure. Patients with liver cirrhosis or those who have impaired immune systems may be more likely than other groups to experience worse results from the SARS-CoV-2 infection. We thus intend to examine the pathogenesis, current therapy, and consequences of liver damage concerning COVID-19.
