Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to adverse consequences on individuals and countries around the world, including Canada. This has affected several aspects of life, with the economy, the vulnerable societal groups, and public health particularly being severely impacted. In Canada, it has become increasingly evident that People Experiencing Homelessness (PEH) are facing disproportionate challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to their ongoing concerns and needs that remain inadequately addressed. PEH are not only more vulnerable to the infection of COVID-19, but also are facing a lack of social support, financial crises, and an unusual peak in overdose rate. Governments at all levels have devised intervention plans, which are insufficient to provide PEH with assistance. To overcome these unique challenges for PEH, possible intervention plans were proposed.

Abstract: The preferences and attitudes towards the communicational use of emojis in digital messaging of university students were studied. It was investigated whether the young people considered emojis as adequate and sufficient substitutes for the non-verbal cues of face-to-face communication, and whether there were differences according to the sex of the participants. A mixed cross-sectional design (correlational and group difference), and two non-probabilistic convenience samples, of university students was used. A first sample of 60 volunteers made it possible to identify the 15 most used emojis. The second sample, of 218 volunteers (74 men and 144 women), answered: (1) a questionnaire on preferences for the use of emojis; (2) a test of knowledge of emojis; and (3) a scale of attitudes towards emojis. The results showed that the participants did believe and use emojis as suitable substitutes for.
