Identified in China at the end of 2019, COVID-19 infection has increased exponentially worldwide. Together with threat physical illness, this pandemic brought negative impacts on mental health. Additionally, also interfered other life domains: closings schools and companies, restricted access to public places, changes work home routines uncertainty due economic repercussions. This study examine...

Background: Home confinement during the COVID-19 outbreak may affect lifestyle behaviours, such as daily physical activity, social relationships, eating and sleep, among others, which in turn compromise mental health psychological states. The aim of present study was to determine effects COVID-19-induced home on stress, attention, behaviours correlations between them. Methods: Participants incl...

Crime and subsequent imprisonment reduces men’s chances on the marriage market and increases their divorce risk, but existing research, with a few notable exceptions, is silent about the underlying mechanisms driving these effects. This article studies the effect of home confinement under electronic monitoring as a noncustodial alternative to imprisonment on the risk of relationship dissolution...

A novel design of Dual-Core Photonic Crystal Fiber (DC-PCF) with silica-air microstructures is proposed in this paper. Nonlinearity and confinement loss of DC-PCF are evaluated by using a Full-Vectorial Finite Element Method (FV-FEM) successfully. By optimizing the geometry of three ring DC-PCFs, a high nonlinearity (52w-1km-1) and low confinement loss (0.001dB/km) can be achieved at 1.55μm wav...

In this paper, we present a comparative numerical analysis to determine the refractive index of photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) by using FDFD method and used the results to evaluate the confinement losses of PCFs by considering the effects of air-hole rings in the cladding. It is shown that by increasing the wavelength, the imaginary part of refraction index rises, resulting in increase of conf...

Due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, reality of life, work and relationships Spanish population has suddenly changed. The aim this study was determine impact period confinement on behaviour population.
 participants were people nationality who did not have chronic or mental illnesses that could affect their diet emotional state.
 sample consisted 519 people, from all over Spain, ...

Urban population is becoming less likely to contact with nature. Yet, green infrastructure, as roofs, provide multiple ecosystem services, promoting citizens physical and psychological well-being. With the Coronavirus 19 world pandemic public spaces, like parks other recreational areas, were closed most confined their dwellings. In this context, need for outdoor space in housing environment bec...

More than ever before, the COVID-19 crisis and need to spend longer periods of time in our places residence, have highlighted improve indoor air quality (IAQ) ventilation reduce risks airborne virus transmission. Added progressively energy performance buildings achieve carbon neutrality is this completely contrary new requirement, which forces reconsidering issue, its standards, technological s...
