- PublicationAn Advanced Search System to Manage SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 Data Using a Model-Driven Development Approach(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022) León Palacio, Ana; García Simón, Alberto; Pastor López, Oscar; Dpto. de Sistemas Informáticos y Computación; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Informática; Instituto Universitario Valenciano de Investigación en Inteligencia Artificial; European Commission; Generalitat Valenciana; European Regional Development Fund; AGENCIA VALENCIANA DE LA INNOVACION; Universitat Politècnica de València[EN] The pandemic outbreak of COVID-19 has allowed the proliferation of an unprecedented amount of data that must be organized and connected in a way that allows its efficient management. Nevertheless, the speed at which all of this knowledge is being generated has highlighted the shortcomings of the research community in creating well-organized, standardized, and structured databases. Despite the efforts of the community to develop advanced integrative platforms such as CovidGraph, we have identified some limitations when using these solutions that we think are derived from the lack of a sound ontological schema to guide the collection, standardization, and integration of data. This work explores the advantages and disadvantages for the final user of building advanced information systems using a Model Driven Development approach to integrate heterogeneous and complex data using an ontological background as a basis. As a proof of concept, we built a database (CovProt) to integrate data about different aspects of SARS-CoV-2 using this approach, we analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of using this approach compared to CovidGraph by performing a set of queries in CovProt and CovidGraph, and finally, we compared the structure and redundancy of the retrieved data.
- PublicationAnalysis of the effect of COVID-19 on air pollution: Perspective of the Spanish case(Springer-Verlag, 2021-07) Cárcel Carrasco, Francisco Javier; Pascual Guillamón, Manuel; Langa Sanchis, Jaime; Dpto. de Construcciones Arquitectónicas; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Edificación; Instituto de Tecnología de Materiales; European Commission[EN] The pandemic caused by coronavirus COVID-19 is having a worldwide impact that affects health and the economy and indirectly affects air pollution in cities. In Spain, the effect has evolved from being anecdotal in January 2020 to become the second country in Europe with the highest number of cases (614,000 cases by 17/09/2020), which has affected the health system and caused major mobility restrictions. In contrast, COVID-19 has affected air pollution and energy consumption in the country. This article analyzes the indirect effect produced by this pandemic on air pollution, referenced to various stages that occurred in Spain: first stage, without public awareness of COVID-19 impact (mid-January 2020); second is when Spanish Government alerted (late February 2020); and third, after the decree of alarm and mobility restriction of citizens by the government (March 2020) along with the various phases of the de-escalation. The indirect effect produced by this pandemic on air pollution in Spanish cities has been resulted in a decrement of 70% to 80% of average, taking into account dates after the decree of alarm and mobility restriction by the Spanish government (14/03/2020), compared to days prior to that date. Thus, the results of this analysis indicate a significant alteration in air pollutants; these alteration patterns have followed similar paths over different countries worldwide improving the air quality as discussed by Dutheil et al. (Environ Pollut (Barking, Essex: 1987) 263:114466, 2020).
- PublicationCumulative climatic stressors strangles marine aquaculture: Ancillary effects of COVID 19 on Spanish mariculture(Elsevier, 2022-02-25) Sánchez-Jerez, Pablo; Babarro, Jose M. F.; Padin, X.A.; Longa Portabales, Angeles; Ballester-Berman, J. David; Martínez Llorens, Silvia; Sara, Gianluca; Mangano, Maria Cristina; Dpto. de Ciencia Animal; Instituto Universitario de Ciencia y Tecnología Animal; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Agronómica y del Medio Natural; European Commission[EN] Marine aquaculture takes advantage of marine ecosystem services to produce goods that can be relevant from a food security point of view. However, this activity is subject to multiple stressors as the ones exerted by global climate change. Local stressed conditions due to environmental drivers may be exacerbated by the COVID19 pandemic crisis. In this paper we analyze the pre-COVID-19 situation in two Spanish regions with the highest aquaculture production, Galicia and the Valencian Community. The incidence of storms, heat waves and mussel farming closure were analyzed, and surveys were used to define the perception of producers in terms of economic problems derived from COVID-19 and synergistic environmental concerns. Also the temporal trend of mussel production was analyzed. Spanish marine aquaculture has been intensively subjected to climatic stressors that made it more vulnerable to COVID-19, showing some weakness in terms of production as can be seen in mussel production and fresh consumption. Anyway, extensive aquaculture and aquaculture developed by Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) was reported as somewhat more resilient to the impact of COVID-19. In order to ensure the environmental and economic sustainability of marine aquaculture under a future uncertain pandemic scenario - our outcomes underline the need for more resilient adaptation programs and recovery plans taking into account the climate change effects.
- PublicationDrugs for COVID-19: An Update(MDPI AG, 2022-12) Ceramella, Jessica; Iacopetta, Domenico; Sinicropi, Maria Stefania; Andreu Ros, María Inmaculada; Mariconda, Annaluisa; Saturnino, Carmela; Giuzio, Federica; Longo, Pasquale; Aquaro, Stefano; Catalano, Alessia; Dpto. de Química; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Industrial; Grupo de estudio de estados excitados: detección, dinámica, transformaciones y campos de aplicación; European Commission; Ministero dell'Università e della Ricerca[EN] The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was the seventh known human coronavirus, and it was identified in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, in 2020. It caused the highly contagious disease called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 11 March 2020. A great number of studies in the search of new therapies and vaccines have been carried out in these three long years, producing a series of successes; however, the need for more effective vaccines, therapies and other solutions is still being pursued. This review represents a tracking shot of the current pharmacological therapies used for the treatment of COVID-19.
