Here, we address this question for the Last Interglacial period (129,000-116,000 years ago), before -linked megafauna declines and anthropogenic landscape transformation.

Post-COVID Neuropsychiatric Complications in Children and Adolescents: a Study Design for Early Diagnosis and Treatment Using Innovative Technologies.

We herein describe a study design protocol for recognizing neuropsychiatric complications associated with pediatric COVID-19, and for developing effective prevention and treatment strategies grounded on the evidence-based findings.

Methods: The study includes two cohorts, each with 163 participants, aged from 7 to 18 years old, and matched by gender.

[Polizeistaat and police against pestilence: Russian authorities and law in the fight against the threat of epidemics in the 1st third of the 18th century].
