<li><strong>Atlas-scale single-cell multi-sample multi-condition data integration using scMerge2</strong> -
<div>
The recent emergence of multi-sample multi-condition single-cell multi-cohort studies allows researchers to investigate different cell states. The effective integration of multiple large-cohort studies promises biological insights into cells under different conditions that individual studies cannot provide. Here, we present scMerge2, a scalable algorithm that allows data integration of atlas-scale multi-sample multi-condition single-cell studies. We have generalised scMerge2 to enable the merging of millions of cells from single-cell studies generated by various single-cell technologies. Using a large COVID-19 data collection with over five million cells from 1000+ individuals, we demonstrate that scMerge2 enables multi-sample multi-condition scRNA-seq data integration from multiple cohorts and reveals signatures derived from cell-type expression that are more accurate in discriminating disease progression. Further, we demonstrate that scMerge2 can remove dataset variability in CyTOF, imaging mass cytometry and CITE-seq experiments, demonstrating its applicability to a broad spectrum of single-cell profiling technologies.

<li><strong>Effect of BNT162b2 antigen dosage on protection against SARS-CoV-2 omicron infection</strong> -
<div>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine antigen dosage may affect protection against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, but direct evidence to quantify this effect is lacking. Methods: A matched, retrospective, cohort study that emulated a randomized control trial was conducted in Qatar between February 3, 2022 and November 8, 2022, to provide a head-to-head, controlled comparison of protection induced by two antigen dosages of the BNT162b2 vaccine. The study compared incidence of omicron infection in the national cohort of adolescents 12 years of age who received the two-dose primary-series of the 30-μg BNT162b2 vaccine to that in the national cohort of adolescents 11 years of age who received the two-dose primary-series of the pediatric 10-μg BNT162b2 vaccine. Associations were estimated using Cox proportional-hazard regression models. Results: Among adolescents with no record of prior infection, cumulative incidence of infection was 6.0% (95% CI: 4.9-7.3%) for the 30-μg cohort and 7.2% (95% CI: 6.1-8.5%) for the 10-μg cohort, 210 days after the start of follow-up. Incidence during follow-up was dominated by omicron subvariants including, consecutively, BA.1/BA.2, BA.4/BA.5, BA.2.75*, and XBB. The adjusted hazard ratio comparing incidence of infection in the 30-μg cohort to the 10-μg cohort was 0.77 (95% CI: 0.60-0.98). Corresponding relative effectiveness was 23.4% (95% CI: 1.6-40.4%). Relative effectiveness was -3.3% (95% CI: -68.0-27.5%) among adolescents with a record of prior infection. Conclusions: Three-fold higher BNT162b2 dosage was associated with ~25% higher protection against infection in infection-naive adolescents of similar age. These findings may inform design of future COVID-19 vaccines and boosters for persons of different age groups.

<li><strong>Sample average treatment effect on the treated analysis using counterfactual explanation identifies BMT and SARS-CoV-2 vaccination as protective risk factors associated with COVID-19 severity and survival in patients with multiple myeloma</strong> -
<div>
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom">
Patients with multiple myeloma (MM), an age-dependent neoplasm of antibody-producing plasma cells, have compromised immune systems and might be at increased risk for severe COVID-19 outcomes. This study characterizes risk factors associated with clinical indicators of COVID-19 severity and all-cause mortality in myeloma patients utilizing NCATS9 National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) database. The N3C consortium is a large, centralized data resource representing the largest multi-center cohort of COVID-19 cases and controls nationwide (&gt;16 million total patients, and &gt;6 million confirmed COVID-19+ cases to date). Our cohort included myeloma patients (both inpatients and outpatients) within the N3C consortium who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 based on positive PCR or antigen tests or ICD-10-CM diagnosis code. The outcomes of interest include all-cause mortality (including discharge to hospice) during the index encounter and clinical indicators of severity (i.e., hospitalization/emergency department/ED visit, use of mechanical ventilation, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)). Finally, causal inference analysis was performed using the propensity score matching (PSM) method. As of 05/16/2022, the N3C consortium included 1,061,748 cancer patients, out of which 26,064 were MM patients (8,588 were COVID-19 positive). The mean age at COVID-19 diagnosis was 65.89 years, 46.8% were females, and 20.2% were of black race. 4.47% of patients died within 30 days of COVID-19 hospitalization. Overall, the survival probability was 90.7% across the course of the study. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed histories of pulmonary and renal disease, dexamethasone, proteasome inhibitor/PI, immunomodulatory/IMiD therapies, and severe Charlson Comorbidity Index/CCI were significantly associated with higher risks of severe COVID-19 outcomes. Protective associations were observed with blood-or-marrow transplant/BMT and COVID-19 vaccination. Further, multivariate cox proportional hazard analysis showed that high and moderate CCI levels, International Staging System (ISS) moderate or severe stage, and PI therapy were associated with worse survival, while BMT and COVID-19 vaccination were associated with lower risk of death. Finally, matched sample average treatment effect on the treated (SATT) confirmed the causal effect of BMT and vaccination status as top protective factors associated with COVID-19 risk among US patients suffering from multiple myeloma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest nationwide study on myeloma patients with COVID-19.

<li><strong>Social and moral psychology of COVID-19 across 69 countries</strong> -
<div>
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all domains of human life, including the economic and social fabric of societies. One of the central strategies for managing public health throughout the pandemic has been through persuasive messaging and collective behavior change. To help scholars better understand the social and moral psychology behind public health behavior, we present a dataset comprising of 51,404 individuals from 69 countries. This dataset was collected for the International Collaboration on Social Moral Psychology of COVID-19 project (ICSMP COVID-19). This social science survey invited participants around the world to complete a series of individual differences and public health attitudes about COVID-19 during an early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic (between April and June 2020). The survey included seven broad categories of questions: COVID-19 beliefs and compliance behaviours; identity and social attitudes; ideology; health and well-being; moral beliefs and motivation; personality traits; and demographic variables. We report both raw and cleaned data, along with all survey materials, data visualisations, and psychometric evaluations of key variables.

<li><strong>The COVID States Project #96: State of the COVID-19 Pandemic</strong> -
<div>
KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. About half of American adults report having been infected with COVID-19 at some point, with 35% saying they have tested positive for COVID-19 before. 2. Individuals vaccinated against COVID-19 report being sick for fewer days than unvaccinated individuals. 3. Due to the underreported use of at-home rapid tests, the data on reported tests are missing a significant number of positive cases. 4. At least 5 in 6 American adults likely have some level of immunity to COVID-19, either through vaccination or previous infection. 5. A substantial majority of American adults have not received the bivalent booster shot, but a majority of those who have not say they plan to or are open to getting the shot. 6. Antiviral medications are not being heavily utilized, even among higher risk American adults. 7. One in nine American adults report having continued symptoms from COVID-19 more than two months post-infection. 8. Nearly half of American adults are still wearing masks, but only a quarter say they are very closely following the recommendation to wear a mask when outside of the home. 9. Only 28% of American adults have received their flu shot. 10. There is a strong correlation between getting the bivalent booster and getting a flu shot. However, just 1 in 10 American adults have received both shots.

<li><strong>Mild SARS-CoV-2 infection results in long-lasting microbiota instability</strong> -
<div>
Viruses targeting mammalian cells can indirectly alter the gut microbiota, potentially compounding their phenotypic effects. Multiple studies have observed a disrupted gut microbiota in severe cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection that require hospitalization. Yet, despite demographic shifts in disease severity resulting in a large and continuing burden of non-hospitalized infections, we still know very little about the impact of mild SARS-CoV-2 infection on the gut microbiota in the outpatient setting. To address this knowledge gap, we longitudinally sampled 14 SARS-CoV-2 positive subjects who remained outpatient and 4 household controls. SARS-CoV-2 cases exhibited a significantly less stable gut microbiota relative to controls, as long as 154 days after their positive test. These results were confirmed and extended in the K18-hACE2 mouse model, which is susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection. All of the tested SARS-CoV-2 variants significantly disrupted the mouse gut microbiota, including USA-WA1/2020 (the original variant detected in the United States), Delta, and Omicron. Surprisingly, despite the fact that the Omicron variant caused the least severe symptoms in mice, it destabilized the gut microbiota and led to a significant depletion in Akkermansia muciniphila. Furthermore, exposure of wild-type C57BL/6J mice to SARS-CoV-2 disrupted the gut microbiota in the absence of severe lung pathology.

<li><strong>Psychological distance intervention reminders reduce alcohol consumption frequency in daily life</strong> -
<div>
Modifying behaviors, such as alcohol consumption, is difficult. Creating psychological distance between unhealthy triggers and ones present experience can encourage change. Using two multisite, randomized experiments, we examine whether theory-driven strategies to create psychological distance—mindfulness and perspective taking—can change drinking behaviors among two samples of young adults without alcohol dependence via a 28-day smartphone intervention (Study 1, N = 108 participants, 5492 observations; Study 2, N=218 participants, 9994 observations). Study 2 presents a close replication with a fully remote delivery during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. During weeks when they received daily smartphone reminders, individuals in the psychological distance interventions drank less frequently than control weeks, and less than control participants. Intervention reminders reduced drinking frequency but did not impact amount. We find that smartphone-based mindfulness and perspective-taking interventions, aimed to create psychological distance, can change behavior. This approach requires frequent reminders, which can be delivered via smartphones.

<li><strong>Gender differences and mask wearing: an observational study on a University campus and a mini-meta-analysis</strong> -
<div>
Research informed by evolutionary theory has suggested that, all else being equal, men are expected to take greater risks than women. This has been evidenced in a range of domains, including health prevention behaviours. In this study, gender differences in mask wearing were recorded at three locations on a University campus (n = 1,435). Logistic regression and Bayes Factor analyses demonstrated that the data do not support a gender difference in mask wearing. This led us to supplement our findings with a mini-meta-analyis, synthesising the gender difference reported in ten papers (n = 73,493) observing mask wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic. This analysis is supportive of a weak effect whereby women are more inclined to wear a mask than men (OR = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.26 to 1.88). However, the mini-meta-analysis also suggested a considerable amount of heterogeneity. Our research calls for further work assessing the factors explaining this heterogeneity in the observed gender difference in mask wearing.

<li><strong>What does it mean to choose health? Exploring health perceptions and health priorities through photo elicitation</strong> -
<div>
The aim of this study was to explore health perceptions and priorities. Using a photo elicitation method, participants (N=50) were asked to answer the question: What does it mean to choose health. Data (original photographs, accompanied by captions) were collected online. We generated and interpreted the main themes associated with common perceptions of health and health-related priorities using polytextual thematic analysis. The health perception themes were: health as a long journey; health as keeping balance; health as self-acceptance. The main health-related priorities were: enjoyment of activities that are a part of a healthy lifestyle; planning time for rest; need for contact with nature, and supportive relationships. Participants reports differed in terms of how Covid-19 was reflected in their perceptions of health behaviours. The findings can support the development of future health interventions by providing evidence for individual health perceptions and priorities.

<li><strong>Employees Experiences of Changes in their Work Commute during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A survey study in Ireland</strong> -
<div>
Background: Commuting is an important part of the daily lives of most employees, with evidence that it can influence work quality, wellbeing, and health. The restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic forced many employees to work from home, with disruptions to typical commuting patterns. Aims: In this unprecedented situation, the present study aimed to explore whether changes in work commute were associated with variations in employees experiences in Ireland Methods: A sample of 112 Irish adults in employment completed an online cross-sectional survey. Responses were analysed using quantitative correlational analysis and content analysis. Results: We found that changing commuting patterns had no significant associations with employees self-rated productivity, mood, stress, ability to focus, or physical health, but individuals who were asked to alternate working from home and commuting to work were the least satisfied with their commuting circumstances. However, satisfaction did not mediate the association between changes in commute and work-related outcomes. Qualitative responses revealed that employees had developed new habits and routines in response to changes to their usual commuting pattern. Conclusions: We discuss the implications of our findings, drawing on evidence from literature and trends around commuting, telecommuting, and working during the COVID-19 pandemic.

<li><strong>Mapping the Knowledge Base in Study Abroad from the United States: A Scoping Review from 2001-2021</strong> -
<div>
Prior literature reviews of study abroad outcomes (Miller &amp; Perrin-Thompson, 2014; Twombly et al., 2012; Varela, 2017) have provided important direction for the field, yet they either were conducted without clear inclusion criteria or excluded qualitative research. In the current scoping review, we extend their work through conducting a systematic literature search inclusive of qualitative research and map the knowledge base of study abroad for students enrolled at universities in the United States who received academic credit for study abroad from fall 2001 (post-9/11) to spring 2020 (COVID-19 pandemic onset). We identified 373 articles meeting inclusion criteria and created a database of filterable information (e.g., participant characteristics, program duration) for the included articles. In the current study, we organize and visually display findings, identify gaps in the knowledge base, and recommend future directions for research and research reporting.

<li><strong>Moralizing the COVID-19 Pandemic: Self-Interest Predicts Moral Condemnation of Others Compliance, Distancing and Vaccination</strong> -
<div>
The emergence of the novel coronavirus has put societies under tremendous pressure to instigate massive and rapid behavior change. Throughout history, an effective strategy to facilitate novel behaviors has been to morally condemn those who do not behave in an appropriate way. Accordingly, here, we investigate if complying with the advice of health authorities—e.g. to physically distance or vaccinate—has emerged as a moralized issue during the COVID-19 pandemic. In Study 1, we rely on data (N = 94K) from quota-sampled rolling cross-sectional online surveys from eight countries (Denmark, Sweden, Germany, France, Italy, Hungary, the UK, and the US). We find that large majorities find it justified to condemn those who do not keep a distance to others in public and around half of respondents blame ordinary citizens for the severity of the pandemic. Furthermore, we identify the most important predictors of condemnation to be behavior change and personal concern, while institutional trust and social distrust also play large but less consistent roles. Study 2 offers a registered replication of our findings on a representative sample of Britons (N = 1.5K). It shows that both moralization and condemnation of both vaccination and general compliance are best predicted by self-interested considerations.

<li><strong>Help thy neighbor. Neighborhood relations, subjective well-being, and trust during the COVID-19 pandemic</strong> -
<div>
Neighborhoods and neighbors are important sources for peoples life chances and well-being. Their importance is highlighted in times of crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic: Neighbors helped vulnerable and at-risk groups by providing small services and a sense of community. Using panel data from Switzerland, this study investigated how and for whom relations with neighbors changed to the better or worse during the pandemic. In a second step, changes in subjective well-being and trust in other people, both of which dropped considerably during the pandemic and social confinement, were linked to changes in neighborly relations. The results show that the negative impact of the pandemic on peoples subjective well-being and trust was much less pronounced for those who improved their relations with neighbors during the pandemic. At the same time, those with more resources prior to the pandemic were more likely to improve neighborly relations. Consequently, this study finds evidence for a social gradient in subjective well-being and trust during the crisis that partly works through changes in neighborhood networks. Robustness analyses further show that the documented effects are indeed attributable to changes induced by the COVID-19 pandemic and the corresponding social confinement measures.

<li><strong>Questions of ethics during the Covid-19 pandemic emerging from problems of data fraud and health risks</strong> -
<div>
In more than two years of the global health crisis of the Covid-19 pandemic, ethical issues regarding health data have been emerging quickly to the central focus of the global scientific community. Many papers have been retracted because of data problems, including those from prestigious journals. For example, two papers in The Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) were retracted due to concerns regarding the veracity of datasets. Elisabeth Bik, an academic image sleuth, has found that 4% of more than 20000 biomedical papers she checked contained problematic image duplications; her efforts have led to at least 172 retractions. When the lives and well-being of countless people are at stake, and all eyes are on science, such mistakes could be (and have been) disruptive toward public trust, which might further fuel conspiracy theories, science-denying, and anti-vax attitudes. We require health data of good ethical standards, but who will be responsible if such standards are not met?
