The Distributional Short-Term Impact Of The Covid-19 Crisis On Wages In The United States, Yonatan Berman

Publications and Research

This paper uses Bureau of Labor Statistics employment and wage data to study the distributional impact of the COVID-19 crisis on wages in the United States by mid-April. It answers whether wages of lower-wage workers decreased more than others', and to what extent. We find that the COVID-19 outbreak exacerbates existing inequalities. Workers at the bottom quintile in mid-March were three times more likely to be laid off by mid-April compared to higher-wage workers. Weekly wages of workers at the bottom quintile decreased by 6% on average between mid-February and mid-March and by 26% between mid-March and mid-April. The average …

Covid-19 - You Can't Stop The Beat!, Alongkorn Parivudhiphongs

Journal of Urban Culture Research

The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise a myriad of artistic expressions on the in-ternet and social media platforms. What explains this turn to music and the per-forming arts during the crisis? At least four reasons matter. Popular music, in par-ticular, has proved useful in communicating key messages about COVID-19 and how to combat it to a broad audience. Music and other forms of artistic expression can help to create a sense of community and belonging at a time of uncertainty. They are powerful ways in which to express appreciation and gratitude. And they provide levity at a time of anxiety

Wealthy Countries Should Share Vaccine Doses Before It Is Too Late: The Greater Good Depends On Ending The Pandemic Everywhere, Lawrence O. Gostin, Eric A. Friedman, Suerie Moon

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The world is on the brink of failing a critical test, which is whether the international community is willing or able to end a global pandemic without leaving anyone behind. Wealthy countries have bought up vast vaccine supplies, leaving poorer ones with extreme scarcity. An international initiative known as the COVID-19 Global Vaccine Access Facility (COVAX) aims to distribute vaccines widely and equitably, but is not only short of funds. Even if it reaches its 2021 target, COVAX will reach only a small portion of lower-income countries’ populations this year.

Along with moral demands of equitable global distribution, wealthy countries …

Cybergrace In Cyberspace? An Argument For Online Liturgies In Light Of Covid-19, Leo-Martin Angelo R. Ocampo

Landas

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly accelerated the reliance on digital platforms to broadcast liturgies and sacraments directly into homes and quarantine facilities, creating a profound theological dilemma. While the Catholic Church traditionally mandates physical presence for a sacrament to be considered valid and efficacious, this essay explores whether digital participation can hold genuine sacramental efficacy. It analyzes the tension between traditional ecclesial requirements and modern pastoral necessities, offering foresight into how sacramental theology must adapt. Ultimately, it argues for a re-evaluation of grace, presence, and community as the boundaries between the virtual and physical worlds continue to blur.

Virtual Hearings And Blockchain Technology Solutions In Criminal Law, Chantell Bergquist

Political Science Theses and Capstones

Technology has evolved and raided our personal and professional lives. Although the courts are not immune to the advancement and integration of technology, the courts are not keeping up with relevant technological advancements. Historically, courts have been hesitant to embrace new technologies despite the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the American Bar Association Model Rules of Professional Conduct. Rule 1 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure creates the right to a “just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action and proceeding.” Likewise, the American Bar Association Model Rules of Professional Conduct have determined attorneys must “keep abreast of …

Developing Entry-To-Practice Nursing Informatics Competencies For Registered Nurses, Lynn M. Nagle, Kristine Crosby, Noreen Frisch, Elizabeth Borycki, Lorie Donelle Phd, Rn, Fcan, Kathryn Hannah, Alexandra Harris, Sylvie Jetté, Tracy Shaben

Publications

Information and communication technologies (ICT) have brought about significant changes to the processes of health care delivery and changed how nurses perform in clinical, administrative, academic, and research settings. Because the potential benefits of ICT are significant, it is critical that new nurses have the knowledge and skills in informatics to provide safe and effective care. Despite the prevalence of technology in our day to day lives, and the potential significant benefits to patients, new nurses may not be prepared to work in this evolving reality. An important step in addressing this need for ICT preparation is to ensure that …

In addition, we have also seen the promotion of flexible ways of studying and working to hinder the rapid spread of the virus. This position paper aims to reflect on where exactly does online education figure into …
