Summary: A study conducted in Foch Hospital, France, on 451 healthcare workers who received the AstraZeneca vaccine found that 60.8% reported multiple adverse effects, with fever, fatigue, and muscle pain being the main symptoms. Despite some European countries temporarily suspending the vaccine due to safety concerns, the benefit of vaccination remains evident.

Summary: COVID-19 is currently the third leading cause of death in the United States, and unvaccinated people continue to die in high numbers. Vaccine hesitancy and refusal are fueled by misinformation and disinformation on social media platforms. This editorial discusses the roles of social media companies in the infodemic and urges them to take responsibility in mitigating the spread of COVID-19 misinformation, as well as to foster better partnerships and actions.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the conversation surrounding COVID-19 vaccines on Twitter. It found that there were more pro-vaccine tweets than anti-vaccine tweets. Pro-vaccine tweets mainly focused on vaccine development, while anti-vaccine tweets covered a wide range of topics, including opposition to vaccine mandates and concerns about safety. Although some anti-vaccine tweets expressed genuine concerns, there was also a significant amount of misinformation. Most tweets came from users who posted both pro-vaccine and anti-vaccine content.

Summary: The development of safe and effective vaccines against COVID-19 is crucial in the fight against the pandemic. Although some thrombotic adverse reactions were associated with the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, the European Medicines Agency affirmed the vaccine's safety and effectiveness, with the benefits outweighing the risks. Conducting further analyses based on more detailed thrombotic adverse event reports may help evaluate causality with higher specificity.

Summary: This paper analyzes the application of the HIPE Framework to two health campaigns addressing vaccine hesitancy in underserved communities. The campaigns successfully achieved their vaccine uptake goals in both the Black/Haitian community in Miami-Dade, Florida and the Migrant Agricultural Worker Community in Central Valley, California. The results highlight the potential efficacy of applying the HIPE Framework for developing health campaigns and response strategies to improve health outcomes.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the dynamics of anti-Spike antibodies in an African adult population with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection and determine the effect of subsequent COVID-19 vaccination. The findings showed that neutralizing antibodies wane within 6 months post-infection, but a single dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine significantly increased antibody levels. Furthermore, the antibodies generated after vaccination demonstrated broad cross-reactivity against multiple variants and had neutralizing potency.

Summary: The study assessed the reactogenicity and immunogenicity of Pfizer and AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines among adults in Saudi Arabia. It found that Pfizer vaccine recipients reported fewer vaccine-related complications compared to AstraZeneca vaccine recipients, and the presence of antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein may be influenced by factors such as health status and age.

Summary: This study found that conspiracy beliefs related to the vaccine strongly influence COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, with different effects depending on gender, age group, and social cognitive vulnerabilities. The influence of education levels on hesitancy was minimal. It is important to consider these factors in planning vaccination campaigns to address vaccine hesitancy effectively.

Summary: The authors aimed to verify the belief that women scholars have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. By studying articles from various disciplines, they found no significant differences between men and women in publication patterns overall, but did find significant differences in different disciplines. Furthermore, disciplines with a higher proportion of women authors had fewer single-authored articles, and if the first author in a multi-author article was female, there was better gender balance among authors, although still fewer women co-authors.

Summary: Contrary to popular belief, law professionals, including lawyers, tend to have a more favorable view of digital sharing and consider digital piracy acceptable in certain circumstances, such as among friends and for noncommercial purposes. The existing law may be outdated and unable to enforce in this aspect. The traditional concept of fixed prices for digital content is diminishing, paving the way for a potential new paradigm of digital commons at the intersection of business, society, and law.

Summary: This study examines two parallel networks during the 2019 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change negotiations: one created by news media coverage and the other by Twitter users sharing news content. The findings show that transnational public spheres can emerge from certain intersections of actors, topics, cultural practices, and institutions, but there are still divisions based on language, geography, and other factors.

Summary: This study examines how firms respond to stakeholder-initiated involuntary disclosures and the subsequent reactions from stakeholders. The findings show that companies display different attitudes towards engaging in communication about involuntary disclosures, with some choosing to communicate while others remain almost silent. When companies do engage in communication, it is often one-way, and the likely response strategy is either mortification or dissent. Additionally, stakeholders are more likely to respond when companies deny the information revealed by involuntary disclosure. Overall, the study suggests that involuntary disclosures on social media do not improve communication between stakeholders and companies.

Summary: This study conducted an experiment in a natural setting to examine the relationship between mimicry, the duration of mimicry behavior, and its impact on service quality. The results showed that mimicry had a significant effect on service quality, with cable TV representatives being perceived more favorably when they mimicked the customers. Importantly, even small portions of mimicry were found to be beneficial, indicating that practitioners do not need to mimic someone for a long time to achieve positive outcomes.

Summary: Zero Waste is a relatively new concept that encourages waste reduction through life cycle thinking in product and service design. The popularization of this concept through social media, particularly on Twitter, has sparked global consumer concern about the environmental impacts of packaging waste. In Twitter discussions, packaging and food packaging are the main focus, with plastics receiving negative sentiment while paper, glass, and metal receive more positive sentiment.

Summary: Researchers studied the views of articles about psychology on 10 language editions of Wikipedia, and found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the interests of people seeking psychological knowledge changed and varied across languages. It was observed that people in most countries looked for new ways to manage stress without external help during the pandemic, likely due to increased stress caused by lockdowns and limited professional assistance. Additionally, there was a significant drop in traffic for academic topics in psychology, which may indicate issues with remote teaching.

Summary: This study examines the gender bias in AI-generated images of professionals in law, medicine, engineering, and scientific research. The findings reveal a significant gender bias, with men being represented in 76% of the images and women in only 8%. This bias persists across all professions and varies between different AI image generators. The study emphasizes the need for more intersectional and inclusive approaches in AI design and research to address and challenge existing biases.

Summary: The article discusses the multidirectional impact of widespread Internet communication on public involvement in risk governance processes. It highlights how online peer-to-peer information can disrupt risk governance by challenging credibility and trust in expert knowledge. However, it also demonstrates that Internet-enabled public involvement can create new opportunities for effective risk governance, especially in cases where state agencies' activities fall short. The article analyzes three critical cases in Poland to show the impact of Internet-enabled groups on risk governance and proposes a framework for harnessing the potential of online public participation while considering uncertainty, scientific consensus, and the credibility and trust of Internet-enabled groups.
