Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on various aspects of daily life, especially the supply and demand of essential goods. Online maker communities emerged during the pandemic to address shortages by developing and locally manufacturing critical products. A longitudinal analysis of Thingiverse, one of the largest maker community websites, revealed a surge in community output during the initial lockdown periods, followed by a decline. Pandemic-related products dominated uploads and interactions throughout 2020.

Summary: The COVID-19 outbreak has caused immense pressure on healthcare systems worldwide, leading to a high demand for critical supplies and PPE. The traditional supply chain paradigm failed to respond adequately, resulting in increased infection risk for healthcare workers. To address this, the WHO recommends ethical allocations based on a proposed infection risk model that integrates PPE allocation decisions with disease progression estimates.

Summary: Motivated by the COVID-19 pandemic, this study presents a theory of Keynesian supply shocks, which occur when a reduction in potential output in one sector leads to a decrease in aggregate activity below potential by reducing demand in other sectors. The likelihood of such shocks increases when there is low elasticity of substitution between sectors, high intertemporal elasticity of substitution, and incomplete markets. The study suggests that fiscal policy may have a smaller multiplier effect in such shocks, but the insurance benefit of fiscal transfers can be enhanced. Firm exits and job destruction can further amplify and propagate the shocks.

Summary: During the recent COVID-19 pandemic, 3D-printing technology played a crucial role in providing various medical supplies, including personal protection equipment and ventilators, to help protect lives. The use of 3D-printing in emergencies offers significant advantages over traditional methods and opens up enormous possibilities for future development. Collaboration between individuals, entrepreneurs, academics, and companies in forming a global network for delivering 3D-printed medical/non-medical components highlights new and significant opportunities for the future.

Summary: COVID-19 is a highly contagious and deadly illness. Without an efficient vaccine or treatment, personal protective equipment, hand hygiene, and social distancing are the best preventive measures. Polymers, nanotechnology, and 3D printing technology have played significant roles in researching and treating COVID-19. Additionally, the article discusses the impact of COVID-19 on the environment and its positive and negative effects.

Summary: Dysphagia is a swallowing condition commonly caused by stroke, predominantly affecting the elderly. Texture-modified diets are often prescribed but can lead to malnutrition. 3D food printing shows potential to enhance the appeal of texture-modified diets, although its ultra-processed nature raises concerns about nutrition and the gut microbiome.

Summary: Prepared dishes are popular convenience foods that meet consumers' needs for delicious tastes and time-saving. Food 3D printing technology provides a solution to the problems faced by traditional prepared dish processing, such as microbial contamination and poor nutrition. The application of food additives and novel 3D printing technologies in prepared dishes industry accelerates the development of customized dishes and commercial use of 3D printing. However, there are still challenges in formulation design, ink storage stability, and customized nutrition for specific groups.

Summary: The analysis of mathematical models for COVID-19 has provided valuable insights. In this paper, a differential equation model related to COVID-19 was analyzed using fractal-fractional derivatives. The equilibria of the model and stability analysis were discussed in detail, along with the effective numerical method used to obtain results which were demonstrated through numerical simulations.

Summary: The study systematically reviews existing research on the COVID-19 pandemic within the supply chain discipline, identifying four main recurring themes - impacts, resilience strategies, technology implementation, and supply chain sustainability. The analysis reveals a lack of empirically designed and theoretically grounded studies in this area, limited generalizability of findings, and a focus on high-demand essential goods and healthcare products rather than low-demand items and SMEs. Additionally, the study offers research questions and directions for further investigation by considering findings from prior epidemic outbreaks and other disruptions in the supply chain discipline.

Summary: This paper examines the response of short-term economic dynamism to crisis-induced supply shortages, focusing on the domestic manufacturing of surgical masks, respirators, and related products during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through interviews, certifications, public data, and industry associations, the study finds that large manufacturers alone were insufficient to meet the demand, and that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) played a crucial role in increasing domestic capacity and serving unmet markets. Despite disadvantages in resources and government support, some SMEs succeeded in entering domestic production. The paper proposes a new theory for government support during crises to address supply shortages and effective interventions for market and network failures.
