This study explores the challenges facing a pilot project aiming to foster homeless cats in an Australian residential aged care facility. The global COVID-19 pandemic stalled the project but also presented an opportunity to gain reflective insights into the perceived barriers, enablers and tensions involved in seeking to implement pet animal inclusion in residential aged care. Perspectives from aged care management, animal welfare services and researchers/project managers were all sought using semi-structured interviews, and themes developed using a qualitative descriptive analysis. Perceived barriers to the project before and after the pandemic were not dissimilar with four key themes emerging: competing priorities, risk and safety, resources, and timing. All existed differently across stakeholder groups creating tensions to be negotiated. These themes are then mapped to the competencies established by the International Union of Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE) for undertaking health promotion, demonstrating that this skill base can be drawn on when seeking to implement human-animal inclusive projects. Creating supportive healthful environments for frail older persons is a moral imperative of extended lives. Health Promotion skills as outlined in the Ottawa Charter and IUHPE competencies for health promotion workers need to be extended to include animal services, agendas and cultures to promote multi-species health promotion into the future.

Kebijakan pembatasan aktivitas masyarakat untuk menekan laju penyebaran Covid-19 berdampak pada perekonomian nasional yang melemah. Hal tersebut berimplikasi dengan sektor ketenagakerjaan, yaitu banyak penduduk usia kerja menjadi pengangguran. Dalam situasi pandemi Covid-19, penyandang disabilitas merupakan salah satu kelompok yang tergolong rentan. Pandemi Covid-19 memperparah kondisi penyandang disabilitas yang sejatinya telah menghadapi hambatan untuk berpartisipasi aktif dalam proses pembangunan. Pada sektor ketenagakerjaan, tingkat pengangguran terbuka penyandang disabilitas pada Agustus 2021 masih mengalami peningkatan. Penyandang disabilitas memiliki kemungkinan untuk berhenti bekerja lebih tinggi dengan tingkat pemulihan yang lebih lambat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran angkatan kerja penyandang disabilitas yang berhenti bekerja akibat pandemi Covid-19 beserta faktor yang memengaruhi durasi menganggur hingga mendapatkan pekerjaan kembali. Dengan menggunakan data Sakernas Agustus 2021 dan metode analisis survival diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa tingkat pendidikan, jenis kelamin, status kepala rumah tangga, dan alasan berhenti bekerja memengaruhi durasi menganggur

Covid-19 crisis has emphasized weaknesses of supply chains and pushed them to reinvent themselves and rethink the configurations adopted. The consideration of resilience in sustainable supply chain has lately played a vital role, to cope with disruptions for the business continuity. The main challenge of supply chains is to balance between achieving competitive advantage and acting sustainably. Through this paper, we review research contributions related to sustainability and resilience of supply chain. The aim to provide a holistic overview about the modeling approaches based on mathematical programming, used in the field of Sustainable Resilient Supply Chain and its applications. A primary search is set and a total of 66 papers has been analyzed to focus only the ones that include mixed programming models. Thus, 19 papers are selected, screened and studied meticulously, then categorized by modeling approach, sustainability and resilience aspects, supply chain structures and flow complexity. The resulted findings are particularly interesting for both practitioners and researchers to highlight gaps and areas for enhancement. Finally, some future research directions are suggested with issues emphasized.

Cloud technology usage in nowadays companies constantly grows every year. Moreover, the COVID-19 situation caused even a higher acceleration of cloud adoption. A higher portion of deployed cloud services, however, means also a higher number of exploitable attack vectors. For that reason, risk assessment of the cloud environment plays a significant role for the companies. The target of this paper is to present a risk assessment method specialized in the cloud environment that supports companies with the identification and assessments of the cloud risks. The method itself is based on ISO/IEC 27005 standard and addresses a list of predefined cloud risks. Besides, the paper also presents the risk score calculation definition. The risk assessment method is then applied to an accounting company in a form of a case study. As a result, 24 risks are identified and assessed within the case study where each risk included also exemplary countermeasures. Further, this paper includes a description of the selected cloud risks.

The state has issued a policy of Village Fund Direct Cash Assistance. The goal is to help village communities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic so they don't experience food insecurity. Despite the good intentions, the BLT-DD is still controversial, because it cannot target all the poor and affected by the existing COVID-19 pandemic. Lebak Village is one of the villages in the Grobogan sub-district where the poverty rate is relatively high, so it is impossible for BLT-DD to target all poor people in this village. This research includes field research using qualitative methods with juridical and maqashid shari'ah approaches and descriptive analysis. From the study conducted, it was found that: first, the implementation of BLT-DD in Lebak Village is still not in accordance with regulations, both Ministerial Decrees, Technical Guidelines and Circulars. Second, BLT-DD in Lebak Village has drawn a polemic because many did not involve the Covid task force and RT-RW when determining KPM. Third, the implementation of BLT-DD in Lebak Village in general has not reflected the values ​​of justice, benefits and legal policies because not all KPMs are poor, some are even rich and have cars.

There is often an upsurge of humor inspired by tragic circumstances. Soon after the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic, humorous posts about the pandemic spread massively on social media. This paper explores contemporary gender ideologies as portrayed in social media humor in light of the Coronavirus pandemic. In particular, this paper focuses on how gender stereotypes and ideologies are constructed and sustained through humor built upon gendered representations. The jokes, memes, and news items posted through social media platforms were analyzed using a Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis approach (FCDA). Data comprised memes and jokes sampled from Instagram, Facebook and Reddit. The findings reveal a complex configuration of factors, such as prevailing socio-cultural and ideological contexts, which, closely interwoven, form the tapestry of gender order and gender roles in the Moroccan society. The analysis revealed that sexist humor propagates baseless generalizations and gender stereotypes. It also amalgamates demeaning language with humor to communicate sexist antagonism. Finally, the study contends that while humor plays a strong role as a coping mechanism during a tragedy, it also enhances the subtle propelling of gender stereotypes that ultimately contribute to sustaining the current existing gender status quo.

Abstract: This study was conducted to find out how poverty affects the people at Espiritu Santo Parochial School, Inc. in the midst of the pandemic. Three research questions were formulated to guide the study. The population of the study consisted of all Grade 12 students. Through the process of systematic random sampling, a total of 30 students were selected to participate in the study. The major instrument used for collecting data was a 6-item online survey questionnaire. The collected data was analyzed through the use of simple percentages. It was discovered based on the analysis that most of the respondents are struggling financially, socially, and mentally during the pandemic. They struggled because of unemployment, safety protocols implemented by the government, and the incompetence of the Philippine government. Based on these findings, recommendations were made that the Philippine government should focus on developing a concrete plan to deal with the pandemic rather than avoiding their responsibilities and diverting attention to unimportant things, and that Filipinos should adhere to the government’s safety protocols for their own safety.
