unprecedented scale Ebola epidemic in Guinea:what we should know

To the editor The present problematic outbreak in Africa is the Ebola virus infection among local population in the capital of Guinea.It becomes a great concern since the present outbreak(March to April 2014)is considered to be the biggest outbreak,the first discovery of this viral infection[1].A high death rate can be seen.Severe diarrhea and bleeding can be seen in almost all cases and death rate is very high(about 75%).Focusing on the present outbreak,there are many considerations on this situation.First,this outbreak occurs in urban area insead of a remote rural area。

Ba_(2)B_(9)O_(13)F_(4)·BF_(4):first fluorooxoborate with unprecedented infinite [B_(18)O_(26)F_(8)] tubes and deep-ultraviolet cutoff edge

Fluorooxoborate has emerged as a promising system for exploring optical materials due to their rich structural chemistry and physicochemical properties,yet so far not fully studied.Herein,we report a new fluorooxoborate,Ba_(2)B_(9)O_(13)F_(4)·BF_(4),which contains the greatest variety of structural basic units,[BO_(3)],[BO_(2)F_(2)],[BO_(3)F],and[BF_(4)],and exhibits unprecedented 1D infinite[B_(18)O_(26)F_(8)]tubes.The unique structure avoids the dangling bonds caused by terminal oxygens,which is beneficial to the large bandgap and deep-ultraviolet cutoff edge.This article expands the crystal structure of fluorooxoborates and contributes to the exploration of deep-ultraviolet optical materials in fluorooxoborate systems.

Coronavirus Dynamics:The Undulating Playing Field

The goal of the paper is to conduct an exploratory review and analyses of the dynamics of the pandemic focusing on two themes:pandemic morbidity and vulnerable populations.Method:Review of literature,anecdotal evidence,and reports on the morbidity of COVID-19;including scope of its devastating effects in selected countries.Findings:The devastating effects of the coronavirus are felt across different vulnerable populations.These include the elderly,front line workers,marginalized communities,visible minorities,and more.Inadequate and sometimes conflicting remarks by“experts”have only contributed in exacerbating the confusion in the general population.However,compassion and empathy from different communities have had positive effects on mitigating some of the health outcomes like mental health and other health-related effects of the pandemic.Institutional support needs to be strengthened,especially with regard to individual risks and supply chain coordination:personal protection equipment(PPE),masks,swabs,reagents,etc.The challenge in Africa is especially daunting,because of limited and inadequate financial resources and infrastructure,as confirmed by the health budget allocations as a percentage of their respective GDP(gross domestic product).Discussion:The effects of the COVID-19 are producing unprecedented and catastrophic outcomes in many countries.These have been exacerbated by the level of unpreparedness and inadequate degrees of prevention and intervention strategies.With a few exceptions,the common and current intervention approach is driven by many unknowns including compilation of relevant reliable and compelling data sets.Vulnerable communities continue to suffer most:a situation that is highlighted in this essay as one attempt to remind institutions of their duty to provide appropriate support,including compassion and empathy to these populations.The repercussions of no or inadequate action are numerous,significant,and mind-boggling with unpredictable future outcomes and possible dire consequences.The continuous carnage caused by COVID-19 is a wake-up call reminding all stakeholders(public and private institutions)that once again the inequality infiltrating vulnerable populations needs to be effectively addressed with emphasis on affordability,improved quality of life,and an inclusive long-term strategic plan.Ubiquitous and inadequate supply chain coordination mechanisms have been a major deterrent towards mitigating the effects of this coronavirus pandemic.
