Seroprevalence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 IgG in Juba, South Sudan, 20201 by Andrew, Baguma, Juma John, Hassen, Sheila, K. Baya, Joseph, F. Wamala

“…After accounting for waning antibody levels, age, and sex, we estimated that 38.3% (95% credible interval 31.8%–46.5%) of the population had been infected with SARS-CoV-2. At this rate, for each PCR–confi rmed SARS-CoV-2 infection reported by the Ministry of Health, 103 (95% credible interval 86–126) infections would have been unreported, meaning SARS-CoV-2 has likely spread extensively within Juba. …”

Remote work from the perspective of employees and managers by Gavrić Gordana

“…Although it has existed as a way of working since the nineties of the last century, it was less widely applied until the beginning of the COVID19 pandemic, when organizations around the world were forced to adapt to the measures by the governments of most countries to control the spread of the infection and change the previous way of working. The paper used the method of content analysis, as a scientific method for the qualitative processing of the available literature in this area and the analysis and synthesis of the knowledge it contains. …”

Protein multiplicity: exemplifying an overwhelmingly likely pattern of molecular evolution? by Les Hatton, Greg Warr

“…We observe over 13 million multiplicious proteins, ranging from the highly conserved (including histones, components of photosystems, and the electron transport chain) to the rapidly evolving viral proteins that are involved in infection and adaptation to novel host species. CoHSI predicts that when considered globally across all three domains of life and the viruses, multiplicity will show a distinctive variant of the Zipfian distribution. …”
