cord-010840-xols477h	2020	This paper is a qualitative analysis of perspectives on leadership development among working peer support specialists and highlights the challenges, needs and efficacy these individuals experience in their work settings. Seven themes emerged: managing dual relationships; having difficult conversations; push and pull of leadership; taking responsibility for others; taking responsibility for self-care; addressing stigma in the workplace, and, spirituality/a calling to help. A challenge will be the professional development and career advancement opportunities available to PSS workers that allow them to expand their role, including leadership, while not diminishing the value of lived experience of recovery (Cronise et al 2016) . A convenience sample comprised of six (6) PSS were recruited from a pool of thirteen (13) participants in a university-sponsored Peer Support Specialist leadership development program. These themes provide insight for the leadership development of PSS, along with implications for health care agency peer support program development.

Secondary outcomes were informal caregivers'' levels of anxiety, subjective distress and minor mental disorders, positive and negative affect, satisfaction with life, quality of life and direct health care costs. The interaction effect between the group (sEBT/control) and the time of investigation was not included in the main models as it was not significantly different from zero, except for psychological impairment. This randomised controlled trial studied the impact of sEBT on depression, anxiety, subjective distress, minor mental disorders, positive and negative affect, satisfaction with life, quality of life and direct health care costs. Caregivers who declined the intervention did not differ significantly from participants of the randomised controlled trial in outcomes at any assessment.

We introduce a global declarative deployment model that describes a composite cross-organizational application, which is split to local parts for each participant. Based on the split declarative deployment models, workflows are generated which form the deployment choreography and coordinate the local deployment and cross-organizational data exchange. For the deployment execution we use an hybrid approach: Based on the LDM a local deployment workflow model is generated in step four that orchestrates the local deployment and cross-organizational information exchange activities.

Using unsupervised machine learning methods on Kinect body posture sensor data, we contribute a set of dyad states associated with collaboration quality, attitudes toward physics and learning gains. Another study [12] , which studied Kinect dyad movements, found that body synchronization had no overall effect on any collaborative or learning measures, but found that learning gains were correlated with cycles of "cognition and action", where dyads alternated between reflecting in the activity and interacting with the system. Through these sensors we collected joint coordinates and gaze data from both participants, and calculated dyad posture metrics such as closeness between participants (which may signal how comfortable participants feel with each other), similarity between spine angles (which may indicate that participants mirror each other''s posture), orientation towards peers (which may indicate focus on discussion), forward lean (possibly indicating engagement with the task).

Other researchers worked on the development of a voice-based assistant using amazon Alexa to help medical first responders in the treatment process [11] . Our experiment''s main objective was to study the performance of the proposed IVACS and the participants individually and as a team for the self-assessment of COVID-19. In the process of experiment, different parameters such as errors committed by participants and IVACS, the number of interaction between IVACS and participants, the effect of IVACS on participant''s performance, and total testing time were measured. In this section, we also presented the CDC and WHO recommended protocol to follow in the self-assessment of COVID-19 based on which the IVACS decision logic was built.

cord-253138-b08f64lu	2020	Here, we discuss the challenges of organizing participatory data science training and provide 10 simple rules to facilitate inclusive workshops. It is important for the instructors to establish a schedule for the development of training modules as well as provide time for testing new materials. We recognize a potential pitfall of developing modular training material (Rule 2) could be differences in presentation style, supporting documentation, and learning objectives. Connecting learning objectives from different training modules taught by different instructors requires a large effort in coordination and communication. It is critical to understand their expectations and evaluate their skill sets to ensure that the workshop material and active learning sessions meet the needs of participants [3] . All instructors must understand that adding any additional information outside the written material and learning objectives of a module may be of little value to participants.

Interventions are needed to ensure that PLWH have updated information and adhere to medication regimens, and to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on social isolation, economic stability, healthcare access, and other social determinants of health within this vulnerable population. Our long-standing community-based participatory research (CBPR) partnership sought to qualitatively explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic within a racially/ethnically diverse sample of GBMSM living with HIV. Another participant commented, "I am working out less to avoid public settings." (P9, White, 23 years old) However, some participants reported positive changes they had made in their health behaviors as a result of staying home and other adaptations related to COVID-19 prevention.

The guide asked about participants'' usual food routines, the level of support SNAP provides, how they understood and experienced receiving February''s SNAP benefit in January, whether the disruption in benefits impacted their family''s health or stress levels, whether the experience changed the way they think about SNAP, and what they recommend decision makers could do to better help them (Table 2) . Participants described challenges related to financial impacts of the disruption, because most reported spending their SNAP benefits earlier in the month and running out of money to buy food in February in a way that was different from usual.
cord-266239-l0ulr2ep	2020	Participants referenced younger family members as having introduced them to, and having taught them how to use, technologies such as digital devices, computers, and social networking sites. A particular gap in knowledge exists regarding the role of intergenerational elements in motivating older adults to learn how to use technology and associated ICTs. Across the globe, societies are aging rapidly due to increased life expectancy as a result of better health and social care, and lower birth rates [4] . The challenges to acquiring new technology skills and strategies for connecting with younger generations to overcome them suggest the importance of intergenerational influences on older adults'' understanding and use of technology, which must be further explored. Our study revealed findings similar to those noted above but for multiple digital technologies, which suggests a more universal and generalizable use of technologies among older adults to increase intergenerational family social interactions as a "digital gathering place".

Methods: An online survey was conducted of participants with breast, lung, or colorectal cancer who had received chemotherapy treatment within the past 12 months, and had experienced at least one episode of myelosuppression in the past year. Methods: An online survey was conducted of participants with breast, lung, or colorectal cancer who had received chemotherapy treatment within the past 12 months, and had experienced at least one episode of myelosuppression in the past year. Despite the use of chemotherapy dose reductions and delays, G(M)-CSF, ESA injections, and blood transfusions to address CIM, the findings of this survey suggest that the real-world impact of myelosuppression on patients is substantial, with almost all participants reporting a moderate or major impact on their lives.

Health tips to prevent the spread of COVID-19 include regular hand washing, covering the mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, full cooking, avoiding close contact with a person who has symptoms of a respiratory illness such as cough and sneezing, and disinfecting surfaces [2] . Repeated use of sodium hypochlorite bleach with inappropriate concentrations can cause damage Fig. 3 The surfaces disinfected by participants to the skin of the hands and respiratory problems for these people. Alcohol-based solutions and sodium hypochlorite bleach are the most widely used disinfectants by participants after the outbreak of Coronavirus. Advices to use methanol instead of ethanol for disinfecting hands and surfaces and drink alcohol to remove the virus from the body were those that have led to poisoning, blindness and even death in some people.
