In order to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic, the government issued a large-scale social restriction policy (PSBB). The policy in the form of restrictions on social activities will limit economic activity which ultimately has an impact on decreasing energy demand. This PSBB policy is challenge in implementing a national energy management plan, and might causes some of the energy planning targets not to be achieved. To analyze the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on national energy demand, an energy model was created using LEAP software. LEAP is a model for comprehensive energy planning from energy resources to energy use based on an accounting system. For the purposes of analysis, LEAP requires quite detailed data, in the form of socioeconomic data, energy data, and community activity data due to social restrictions. In this paper, the results of energy modeling simulation are discussed in terms of energy demand based on the scenario of no pandemic or bussiness as usual (BAU) and three pandemic scenarios, namely: optimistic (OPT), moderate (MOD), and pessimistic (PES) scenarios. Energy demand in 2020 is predicted to decrease by 10.7% (OPT scenario), 15.3% (MOD scenario), and 20.0% (PES scenario) compared to the BAU scenario. The model can still be further developed to analyze the impact, both on the overall of demand side and energy supply side and also environmental aspects.

As the US faced its lowest levels of reported trust in government, the COVID-19 crisis revealed the essential service that various federal agencies provide as sources of information. This Element explores variations in trust across various levels of government and government agencies based on a nationally-representative survey conducted in March of 2020. First, it examines trust in agencies including the Department of Health and Human Services, state health departments, and local health care providers. This includes variation across key characteristics including party identification, age, and race. Second, the Element explores the evolution of trust in health-related organizations throughout 2020 as the pandemic continued. The Element concludes with a discussion of the implications for agency-specific assessments of trust and their importance as we address historically low levels of trust in government.

The coronavirus pandemic COVID-19 has caused an unprecedented crisis in all areas, especially in the field of education, this emergency has led to the closure of institutions and schools. In this context and in order to compensate for the suspension of face-to-face courses and to ensure pedagogical continuity, governments have resorted to distance and online education (e-Learning), supported by multimedia technologies. In the face of this health crisis, one could say that it is this very expansion of multimedia technology that has facilitated distance learning. However, distance and online learning / teaching in addition to its effectiveness, it has some drawbacks.

The coronavirus crisis is disrupting the functioning of content moderation, causing the loss of thousands of jobs in an overlooked profession.

Corona Virus Disease 19 (COVID-19) is a new pandemic, declared a public health emergency by the World Health Organization, which could have negative consequences for pregnant and postpartum women. The scarce evidence published to date suggests that perinatal mental health has deteriorated since the COVID-19 outbreak. However, the few studies published so far have some limitations, such as a cross-sectional design and the omission of important factors for the understanding of perinatal mental health, including governmental restriction measures and healthcare practices implemented at the maternity hospitals. Within the Riseup-PPD COST Action, a study is underway to assess the impact of COVID-19 in perinatal mental health. The primary objectives are to (1) evaluate changes in perinatal mental health outcomes; and (2) determine the risk and protective factors for perinatal mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, we will compare the results between the countries participating in the study.

The Peruvian Constitution of 1993 regulates a semi-presidential system that defines the form of government in the country, in which a direct relationship is established between the executive power, represented by the National Government, with the legislative power, that is, the Congress of the Republic; a system on which a balance of powers is developed, guaranteeing the governability to make possible the democratic development of the country. However, as a result of the dissolution of the Congress of the Republic and the development of a pandemic caused by Covid-19, the National Government does not have representatives in the Congress of the Republic, which shows a delicate situation that may affect governance and the development of democracy. In this matter, although it is true that there is a proper correlation of functions and powers, the delicate moment that the country is going through, in historical terms, demands evaluating the importance and validity of the political parties, which are essentially responsible for the political crisis in the country in the last thirty years. ; La Constitución peruana de 1993 regula un sistema semi presidencial que define la forma de gobierno en el país, en el cual se establece una relación directa entre el poder ejecutivo, representado por el Gobierno Nacional, y el poder legislativo, es decir, el Congreso de la República; sistema que supone un equilibrio de poderes que garantice la gobernabilidad necesaria para desarrollar democráticamente el país. Sin embargo, a raíz de la disolución del Congreso de la República y el desarrollo de la pandemia provocada por el Covid-19, el Gobierno Nacional no cuenta con representantes en el Congreso de la República, con lo cual se evidencia una delicada situación que puede afectar la gobernabilidad y el propio desarrollo de la democracia en el país. En este ámbito, si bien es cierto que legalmente entre ambos poderes hay una debida correlación de funciones, el delicado momento que atraviesa el país, en términos históricos, requiere evaluar la importancia y vigencia de los partidos políticos, que son esencialmente los responsables de la crisis política que ha vivido el país en los últimos treinta años.

This study analyzes the effects of COVID-19 confinement on the autonomous learning performance of students in higher education. Using a field experiment with 458 students from three different subjects at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain), we study the differences in assessments by dividing students into two groups. The first group (control) corresponds to academic years 2017/2018 and 2018/2019. The second group (experimental) corresponds to students from 2019/2020, which is the group of students that had their face-to-face activities interrupted because of the confinement. The results show that there is a significant positive effect of the COVID-19 confinement on students' performance. This effect is also significant in activities that did not change their format when performed after the confinement. We find that this effect is significant both in subjects that increased the number of assessment activities and subjects that did not change the student workload. Additionally, an analysis of students' learning strategies before confinement shows that students did not study on a continuous basis. Based on these results, we conclude that COVID-19 confinement changed students' learning strategies to a more continuous habit, improving their efficiency. For these reasons, better scores in students' assessment are expected due to COVID-19 confinement that can be explained by an improvement in their learning performance ; This research was funded by ADeAPTIVE (Advanced Design of e-Learning Applications Personalizing Teaching to Improve Virtual Education) project with the support of the Erasmus + programme of the European Union (grant number 2017-1-ES01-KA203-038266). This study was also funded by ACCIO´, Spain (Pla d'Actuacio´ de Centres Tecnològics 2019) under the project Augmented Workplace. This study was also funded by the Fondo Supera COVID-19 (Project: Development of tools for the assessment in higher education in the COVID-19 confinement

This paper examines the role of numeracy in smoothing financial difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results show that numeracy was associated with a 30% reduction in late or non-payment of bills and a 20% reduction in the odds of feeling financially squeezed. The effect of numeracy on financial wellbeing was remarkably consistent across levels of education, ethnicity, and gender, suggesting that improving numeracy levels in the population may be an effective strategy to increase financial capability across the board. However, while numerate individuals were less likely to experience financial difficulty, high numeracy did not predict narrower gaps between Whites and ethnic minorities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Governments must take seriously the need to address the constraints and institutional barriers that keep individuals from achieving financial wellbeing.

5G was test-launched in Nigeria in 2019 to improve its communication technology, conspiracy theorists, however, linked 5G to the outbreak of the Covid-19. As with conspiracies, the 'who' that lends credence to it affects how far it travels. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, founder of Believers LoveWorld, added his voice to the 5G debate, claiming that Covid-19 lockdown was decoy to sequester the population for government to covertly deploy 5G. This study is important because it addresses the issue of fake news and its ability to cause civil disobedience in the society. Using secondary research method, content analysis was used to review arguments on 5G controversy in the Nigerian context. Findings revealed that government appealed for calm and stated that no license for the installation of 5G has been issued yet. Technology enthusiasts and media organizations put out fact-checking information in support of the technology. Various arguments indicate that no one really understands the full capabilities of 5G and its long-term effect on living organisms and the environment. It is recommended that more tests be carried out in varying conditions to understand the tolerance limit of the technology, and for the government to be transparent in its public communication.
