DOI: 10.31031/NRS.2021.06.000632
The main purpose of this research is to laid down a new concept leading to increase the
survival rate of corona infected patients. As coronavirus is spreading widely in all over the
world and many deaths have been reported due to this life threatening disease. So in this
study, a new strategy has been introduced for the very old vitamin-D in order to put forward
that how vitamin-D can be used as a primary precursor for the treatment of novel coronavirus
and its relationship with Covid-19 effected individuals

Saccharomyces cerevisiae as A Fusion Inhibitor of Sars-Cov-2
Daniel Lopes Torres*
Novel Research in Sciences
DOI: 10.31031/NRS.2021.06.000628
SARS-CoV-2 interacts with prokaryotic translation elongation factors (eEFs), predominantly eEF1A.
This connection occurs at the intracellular level, when the virus is linked to ribosomes, necessary for
viral replication. The fungus Saccharomyces cerevisiae has an abundance of eEF1A protein, and its dietary
supplementation can increase serum protein levels, which, by binding to viruses circulating in the
blood, prevent the entry of these cells, thus preventing viral replication; in addition, exposes the virus
to the body’s humoral immune system. Supplementation through the diet of the fungus Saccharomyces
cerevisiae would work as a fusion inhibitor drug, a mechanism of action of some antivirals

The patient was a 35-year-old pregnant (G3P2A1) woman at 31 weeks of gestation
who had a fever and cough for six days, relatively normal clinical laboratory results, and
tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 on June 26th, 2020. After self-isolation for 14 days, and she
got symptomatic treatment and supplementation daily RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 evaluation
tested, and the results were negative. After that, the patient-controlled every two weeks until
38-39weeks of gestation. The baby was labor by normal delivery with the consideration that
the mother had negative results evaluation for SARS-CoV-2. The baby was born on August 23rd,
2020, with Apgar, score 7, and 8 with oxygen saturation up in range 96-98, the normal value
of the vital sign. The Newborn was transferred to the mother room and go.....

DOI: 10.31031/GGS.2021.06.000646
As the coronavirus spreads across the globe, it’s becoming more apparent that older
people with underlying health conditions are being hit hardest by the illness it causes. The
coronavirus that became a global pandemic before mid-March 2020, like the ones responsible
for SARS and MERS, affects the part of the lungs where gas exchange-the delivery of oxygen
to the bloodstream and the removal of carbon dioxide-takes place. “As one gets older, the
lungs are not as elastic or as resilient as when one is younger. This condition together with
any underlying health issues increased the loss of airway and respiratory functions. New
coronavirus populations are generally susceptible, but elderly people with underlying diseases
are more susceptible. The underlying diseases are diabetes, h.....

Non-Conventional Covid Treatment Methods 19
Adamski A*
COJ Biomedical Science & Research
In bioelectronic terms, the organism is understood as an integrated circuit of biological piezo,
pyroelectrics, ferromagnets and semiconductors, filled with bioplasm and managed electronically by
quantum processes. The presence of semiconductors in a biological system is synonymous with the
presence of an electronic integrated device, therefore a living organism can be seen as a complex electronic
device, analogous to technical devices. Proteins, DNA, RNA, melanin from the biology side, it is a biological
structure, from the biochemistry side, they are chemical compounds with different chemical formulas,
again from the bioelectronics side it is an electronic material that can serve as structural elements in
a bioelectronic device which is an organism. Enzyme transistors were constru.....

COVID-19 Boosts the Need for New Competencies for Accountancy Knowledge Workers
Hussin J Hejase*, Hassan I Rkein and Hasan F Fayyad-Kazan
Strategies in Accounting and Management
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) resources are considered a major booster to all business functions during the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, the grand majority of the institutions, in all economic sectors, including education have moved to online work [work from home] and consequently the
need for technology literacy as well as information literacy became a much needed competence. These
aforementioned literacy competences became salient in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), more specifically, in their endeavor to train students amid the pandemic harsh health conditions and strict requirements for health conservation being at home or while at move. This paper aims to shed light on
Accounting major students who are more than other are required to cope with the wave of autom.....

Covid-19: In Pursuit of a Cure
Jagessar RC*
Novel Research in Sciences
DOI: 10.31031/NRS.2021.05.000618
Our world is in a chaotic state at the moment. This stem mostly from the current infectious, highly
contagious viral disease, COVID-19, and not to mention global warming and its catastrophic effects.
COVID-19 is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, SARS-COV-2, a possible mutant
of SARS-COV-1. It was first identified in Wuhan, China in December,2019, though there is speculation
that it may have originated elsewhere. It has resulted in a current ongoing pandemic. A person infected
with the virus can be symptomatic or asymptomatic. Common symptoms include fever, cough, fatigue,
shortness of breath, loss of smell and taste, multi organ failure, septic shock. blood clots etc. The virus is
spread primarily between people, during close contact via small droplets, prod.....

Covid-19 and Its Cultural Impact on Home Working
Derek Watson*

DOI: 10.31031/RPN.2021.05.000610
Many are of the view that the Covid-19 pandemic spread like a burst pipe imposing a
devastating and continuing impact. However, there was clear evidence that the lessons learnt
from the Spanish flu Pandemic of 1918 were not heeded and the pandemic pipe has since
systematically leaked Influenza in 1956, SARs in 2003, Swine Flu in 2009 and MERS in 2012.
The antiphasis is that whilst developed economic leaders acknowledged the WHO concerns,
they have done little to both avoid or prepare for the current pandemic. In direct consequence
to Covid-19, approximately 38% of the UK working population were instructed to work from
home. Ten months later and calls for a second national lock down in 2021, the question
remains concerning the impact on home working.

Every person agree that health is very important and significant for human well-being. Around the turn of the century, people primarily died from infectious disease and die from lifestyle disease which are related to health damaging personal habits and behavior. Familiar example includes heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer. Clearly some behaviors and lifestyle promote health whereas other lead to illness and death. As the cartoon character Pogo put it “we have met the enemy and he is us. Now, the international healthy crisis is coronavirus, that represent the most important challenge to the universal health care services. The infectious disease is stressful event around the world that lead to many negative consequences and effects: heath/medical, political, social, psyc.....

The SARS-CoV 2 pandemic is now responsible for over 48 million infections and one million deaths worldwide. Pandemics impact population growth not only by excessive mortality, but also by preventing births. In previous pandemics occurring in the 20th and 21stcenturies, a trend towards birth rate reduction was observed 9 months later (Figure 1). After the 1918-20 HIN1 influenza pandemic, birth rates dropped by 5 to 15% in comparison to average rates before the pandemic [1]. This drop was related to higher death rates in pregnant patients (case fatality rate of 27%), as well as miscarriages and stillbirths (increased by 0.4% and 2.2% respectively as compared to prior average rates) [1,2]. A rebound in birth rates, however, occurred 1-2 years after this decline [3]. M.....

Possible Treatment of Lung Failure in COVID 19 Patients
Charles H Williams*
Journal of Biotechnology & Bioresearch
The development of lung failure is a severe complication of COVID 19. My friend Bill Bruns, St Clair, MO died recently even though he was on a ventilator and in an induced coma at the Washington, MO Hospital. His wife also had COVID 19, but did not develop the acute lung failure aspect, so she quarantined at home and fully recovered [1,2]. Two of my immediate family members contracted COVID 19 but did not develop the acute lung failure aspect and quarantined at home and fully recovered. They went back to work at the ear, nose, and throat clinic where they had contracted the disease.
