Salmon Consumption Behavior Before and During COVID-19: An Analysis of Volume and Price Fluctuations of the household market in Belgium, France, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and the Netherlands.

The thesis investigates the Impact of COVID-19 on Nine European countries in salmon consumption in household volume sales and price of different product categories of salmon products. Through a comprehensive analysis using regression models in Stata, we tried to find out the relation between salmon consumption volume and multiple variables, including price, GDP, lagged volume, and the effect of COVID-19 in specific countries using data from January 2018 to April 2022 obtained from Norwegian Seafood Council. Our findings revealed key insights. We observed that pricing significantly influences sales volume. Salmon sales volume tends to decline as prices rise, demonstrating a normal supply and demand connection. GDP (Gross Domestic Product) has a positive impact on sales volume. The lagged volume of sales strongly influenced the logged volume of sales and COVID-19 had a major impact on sales volume in certain countries. In most cases, household consumption increased during COVID-19 compared to the pre-pandemic period indicating a change in consumption behavior. The results of this study provide essential information for future research by providing an understanding of the sustainability of increasing salmon consumption as well as the potential long-term consequences of the pandemic on consumer behavior. Additionally, it offers a precedent for investigating how national and international crises might change consumer trends in the food sector, particularly for healthy products like salmon.

The present worldwide epidemic of COVID-19 has a detrimental effect on financial markets, including traditional stock markets and commodities markets.

Descriptive statistical tests, normality tests, and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test hypothesis testing were utilized to analyze the study data. The results of the research indicate that there is no significant difference in trading volume activity before and after the first case of COVID-19 was found in Indonesia and before and after the PSBB policy was announced to be implemented. In contrast, the study findings indicate that there are substantial changes in the average closing stock prices before and after the first case of COVID-19 was found in Indonesia and before and after the PSBB policy was implemented. Thus, the findings of this research show that information about the first instance of COVID-19 and the announcement of the adoption of the PSBB policy affect the capital market's response to stock price fluctuations.

Policy Response, Social Media and Science Journalism for the Sustainability of the Public Health System Amid the COVID-19 Outbreak: The Vietnam Lessons

Vietnam, with a geographical proximity and a high volume of trade with China, was the first country to record an outbreak of the new Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 or SARS-CoV-2. While the country was expected to have a high risk of transmission, as of April 4, 2020—in comparison to attempts to contain the disease around the world—responses from Vietnam are being seen as prompt and effective in protecting the interests of its citizens, with 239 confirmed cases and no fatalities. This study analyzes the situation in terms of Vietnam’s policy response, social media and science journalism. A self-made web crawl engine was used to scan and collect official media news related to COVID-19 between the beginning of January and April 4, yielding a comprehensive dataset of 14,952 news items. The findings shed light on how Vietnam—despite being under-resourced—has demonstrated political readiness to combat the emerging pandemic since the earliest days. Timely communication on any developments of the outbreak from the government and the media, combined with up-to-date research on the new virus by the Vietnamese science community, have altogether provided reliable sources of information. By emphasizing the need for immediate and genuine cooperation between government, civil society and private individuals, the case study offers valuable lessons for other nations concerning not only the concurrent fight against the COVID-19 pandemic but also the overall responses to a public health crisis

On-line Searches for Terms Related to Hand Hygiene During the COVID-19 Pandemic Worldwide

Objective: To analyze the difference in the on-line searches for terms related to hand hygiene during the COVID-19 pandemic in developed and middle-income countries. Material and Methods: The cross-sectional study analyzed the digital data through the Google Trends website to obtain the variation of the relative search volume (RSV) through the terms "alcohol gel" and "handwashing." According to socio-economic development, the countries were divided into two groups: countries from different continents and hemispheres, with more than 15 million inhabitants, with more than 50% of the population with access to the Internet network and over 1,000 confirmed cases of infected with COVID-19. The paired t-test was applied to compare the means. The significance value adopted was p<0.010. Results: The searches related to the term "hand washing" were more significant when compared to the term "alcohol gel," and the term "alcohol gel" presented a higher average volume of research in developed countries (p<0.010). The developed countries had a higher average relative volume of research than middle-income countries (p<0.010). Developed countries sought more for the term "alcohol gel," and the term "hand washing" showed no difference in the volume of research about the country's socio-economic aspect. Conclusion: Developed countries have a higher volume of search for hand hygiene terms. The middle-income countries must create proposals for raising awareness outside the on-line environment so that this information reaches the entire population during the pandemic
