Title: Exploring the Impact of COVID-19 Lockdown on Social Roles and Emotions while Working from Home
Authors: Sam Nolan, Shakila Khan Rumi, Christoph Anderson, Klaus David, Flora D. Salim
Abstract summary: This research investigates the impact of COVID-19 on five researchers' work and private roles, happiness, and mobile and desktop activity patterns. Our analysis show that researchers tend to work more during COVID-19 resulting in an imbalance of work and private roles. This shows a resilient adaptation to the disruption caused by the pandemic.

Abstract: In the opening months of 2020, COVID-19 changed the way for which people work, forcing more people to work from home. This research investigates the impact of COVID-19 on five researchers' work and private roles, happiness, and mobile and desktop activity patterns. Desktop and smartphone application usage were gathered before and during COVID-19. Individuals' roles and happiness were captured through experience sampling. Our analysis show that researchers tend to work more during COVID-19 resulting an imbalance of work and private roles. We also found that as working styles and patterns as well as individual behaviour changed, reported valence distribution was less varied in the later weeks of the pandemic when compared to the start. This shows a resilient adaptation to the disruption caused by the pandemic.

Since March 2020, there have been over 600 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 and more than six million deaths. The pandemic has impacted and even changed human behavior in almost every aspect. Researchers have been employing big data techniques such as natural language processing, computer vision, audio signal processing, frequent pattern mining, and machine learning.

Understanding Developers Well-Being and Productivity: a 2-year Longitudinal Analysis during the COVID-19 Pandemic [20.958668676181947]
We explore changes in well-being, productivity, social contacts, and needs of software engineers during the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, well-being and quality of social contacts increased while emotional loneliness decreased as lockdown measures were relaxed. A preliminary investigation into the future of work at the end of the pandemic revealed a consensus among developers for a preference of hybrid work arrangements.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the ways many people use computational systems. We conducted an empirical study using qualitative and quantitative analyses of free-response surveys completed by 62 US residents. Nearly all participants experienced an increase in computer usage for themselves or a family member in one or more of the four domains.

The COVID-19 pandemic has provoked an overnight exodus of developers that normally worked in an office setting to working from home. To find out how developers and their productivity were affected, we distributed two surveys. We find that there is a dichotomy of developer experiences influenced by many different factors.

Understanding the temporal evolution of COVID-19 research through machine learning and natural language processing [66.63200823918429]
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been continuously affecting human lives and communities around the world. We used multiple data sources, i.e., PubMed and ArXiv, and built several machine learning models to characterize the landscape of current COVID-19 research. Our findings confirm the types of research available in PubMed and ArXiv differ significantly, with the former exhibiting greater diversity in terms of COVID-19 related issues.

We use a detailed set of mobility data to evaluate the impact that stay-at-home orders had on the spread of COVID-19 in the US. We show that there is a unidirectional Granger causality, from the median percentage of time spent daily at home to the daily number of COVID-19-related deaths with a lag of 2 weeks.

Analyzing COVID-19 on Online Social Media: Trends, Sentiments and Emotions [44.92240076313168]
We analyze the affective trajectories of the American people and the Chinese people based on Twitter and Weibo posts between January 20th, 2020 and May 11th 2020. By contrasting two very different countries, China and the Unites States, we reveal sharp differences in people's views on COVID-19 in different cultures. Our study provides a computational approach to unveiling public emotions and concerns on the pandemic in real-time, which would potentially help policy-makers better understand people's need and thus make optimal policy.
