Geographical and temporal distribution of SARS-CoV-2 clades in the WHO European Region, January to June 2020

We show the distribution of SARS-CoV-2 genetic clades over time and between countries and outline potential genomic surveillance objectives. We applied three available genomic nomenclature systems for SARS-CoV-2 to all sequence data from the WHO European Region available during the COVID-19 pandemic until 10 July 2020. We highlight the importance of real-time sequencing and data dissemination in a pandemic situation. We provide a comparison of the nomenclatures and lay a foundation for future European genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2.Peer reviewe

Interacción persona x situación en la predicción de la personalidad: algunas especificaciones del factor personal

This paper tries to determine whether the multidimensionality of the A-trait (anxiety trait) as measured by the S-R GTA (General Trait Anxiety Inventory) refers to different personality profiles. Results of the multiple lineal regression analysis, which uses the �Locus of Control� internal/external scale, the California Psychological Inventory and the Interpersonal Trust Scale as preventive measures, endorse the existence of different personality profiles for each four A-Traits aspects. These findings confirm the multidimensionality of the E-R Inventory of General Anxiety Trait and the importance of specifying the situation in the measurement of anxiety.Este trabajo intenta determinar si la multidimensionalidad de la Ansiedad-rasgo (A-trait), medida por el S-R GTA ( Inventario E-R del Rasgo General de Ansiedad) está referida a diferentes perfiles de personalidad. Los resultados del análisis de regresión lineal múltiple usando la escala de �Locus of Control� interno-externo, el Inventario Psicológico de California, la Escala de Confianza interpersonal, como medidas predictivas, confirmaron la existencia de diversos perfiles de personalidad para una de las cuatro facetas de la Ansiedad-rasgo. Estos hallazgos atestiguan la multidimensionalidad del Inventario E-R del Rasgo General Ansiedad y la importancia de especificar la situación en la medida de la Ansiedad

The Issue of Monotony and Low Workload in Spaceflight: Considerations for the Mission to Mars

The future mission to Mars will present a number of challenges regarding habitability and performance for spaceflight crewmembers. One aspect that needs to be considered is the potential impact of extended periods of low workload relating to monotony and boredom. The following provides an overview of the challenges associated with long duration spaceflight, and specifies the characteristics of interplanetary exploration. Focus is put on these challenges in space and provides possible approaches in mitigating the potential consequences regarding low workload in the high-risk environment. Discussion points are provided regarding possible applications for implementation in future interplanetary expeditions. Copyright 2012 by Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, Inc. All rights reserved
