“…The urban areas of Europe also evinced reduced levels of air pollutants ( Sicard et al, 2020 ): NO, NO 2 , PM 2.5 and PM 10 show a reduction by 56–82%, 29–70%, -8 (i.e., increased by 8 %) to 13 %, and -1 (i.e., increased by 1 %) to 40 %, respectively. Chin et al (2020) observed 40–93 % reduction in the concentration of SO 2 , CO, NO 2 and particulate matter at Denver, Colorado, USA during the “stay at home” period compared to the same period in 2018 and 2019. In the Indian context, Sharma et al (2020) observed an overall decrease of NO 2 (-18 %), CO (-10 %), PM 2.5 (-43 %) and PM 10 (-31 %) compared to the previous years.…”

“…During the lockdown period, across the globe, emissions from the transportation and industrial sectors were remarkably lower leading to a significant reduction in the levels of environmental pollution ( Arora et al, 2020 ; Muhammad et al, 2020 ; Paital, 2020 ). Numerous researchers (e.g., Collivignarelli et al, 2020 ; Dantas et al, 2020 ; He et al, 2020 ; Kanniah et al, 2020 ; Chin et al, 2020 ) have analysed data on environmental pollution (mostly air pollution) of different parts of the globe and have reported improvement in the ambient air quality levels during the COVID-19 lockdown. For India, researchers have similarly quantified the impacts of the nation-wide lockdown on the ambient air quality, using observed data from the ambient air quality monitoring stations ( Mahato et al, 2020 ; Sharma et al, 2020 ) as well as satellite-derived/reanalysis products ( Gautam, 2020 ) or a combination of both ( Lokhandwala and Gautam, 2020 ; Mahato and Ghosh, 2020 ; Selvam et al, 2020 ).…”

“…In the current period of the pandemic of COVID-19 breakdown, the blended learning system is a new and emerging, rapidly evolving way of teaching adopted by the various colleges and universities. Most higher education institutions have adopted the new learning system to guarantee less disruption of teaching and learning activities (Chin et al, 2020 ), even in this adverse pandemic period. The new learning process eliminates the barriers of distance and has shown an exponential enrollment of students in the various institutions, contributing towards the formation of a knowledgeable society (Taylor, 2007 ).…”

Envisioning learning sans interaction is absurd. Interaction plays a pivotal role in the efficacy and effectiveness of the present-day blended learning systems. Learner-content interaction contributes predominately towards the successful realization of the expected learning outcomes. In order to satisfy the learners and to impart them quality knowledge and education, e-learning content comprising of excellent learning and website content is of paramount importance. In the present COVID-19 outbreak challenging times the significance of e-learning system development and its application is much more pronounced. To gauge this, the study aims to examine the relationship between learner-content and the e-learning quality to determine the impact of e-learning quality on learners’ satisfaction under the moderating effect of perceived harm due to COVID-19. A structured questionnaire was used to gather data from 435 graduate and undergraduate management students (International and national) in Indian Universities. Findings indicate statistically significant relationships between the e-learning content and e-learning quality and; e-learning quality and the students’ satisfaction. The perceived harm has an insignificant moderating effect on students’ satisfaction. The results of the study further depict that the quality of e-learning has a significant positive relationship with the students’ satisfaction, and this relationship is not affected by the threat of being infected on the campus during the pandemic of COVID-19. To achieve the learners’ satisfaction, the institutions should strive for rendering the e-learning content of supreme quality. The mediating role of e-learning quality between content and students’ satisfaction is also established to be a significant one.

“…In the literature obtained by bibliometric analysis, not all citations are equally important, and citations may be irrelevant (Cheng et al 2018). In order to overcome this shortcoming of bibliometric analysis, this article will conduct content analysis, use content analysis to identify valuable information in text data, describe the characteristics of full-text articles in depth, and form a structured framework to reveal the global overview of COVID-19 and environmental research.…”

“…To solve the root cause of COVID-19 is that we need to clarify the complexity between the environment and the epidemic. Only by revealing their interaction can we better prevent and control new infectious diseases (Chin et al 2020 ). China and other developing countries were the first to be pressured by the safety, health, and environment under the influence of the COVID-19 epidemic, and their research institutions and scholars took the lead in conducting related research.…”

Meeting the huge impact of COVID-19 on the environment requires better research on pandemic and pollution. What is the research capacity of the COVID-19 and environment in developing countries? Can this research capacity support developing countries to deal with the environmental challenges induced by the pandemic? This work is addressed to comprehensively assess the research capacity of the COVID-19 and environment in developing countries using bibliometric analysis techniques and content analysis approach to mining the Web of Science database. The results of data mining were unexpected: the global leader of the COVID-19 and environmental research was not these developed countries, but these developing countries so far, the end of 2020. Developing countries have published more papers on the pandemic and environment than developed countries, and developing countries also dominate pandemic and environmental research in terms of research institutions and authors. The results showed that (i) the impact of COVID-19 and the environment was bidirectional; (ii) energy consumption has posed great impact on environment; (iii) application of big data and artificial intelligence played an important role in improving environmental quality during the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, policy recommendations such as formulating relevant policies and environmental standards, strengthening international exchanges and cooperation, and adjusting and improving energy consumption structure that were put forward for developing countries to meet the environmental challenges induced by the pandemic were offered.
