ABSTRACT
The COVID 19 (Coronavirus) pandemic has led to a surge in the demand for healthcare devices, pre-cautions, or medicines along with advanced information technology. It has become a global mission to control the Coronavirus to prevent the death of innocent people. The fourth industrial revolution (I4.0) is a new approach to thinking that is proposed across a wide range of industries and services to achieve greater success and quality of life. Several initiatives associated with industry 4.0 are expected to make a difference in the fight against COVID-19. Implementing I4.0 components effectively could lead to a reduction in barriers between patients and healthcare workers and could result in improved communication between them. The present study aims to review the components of I4.0 and related tools used to combat the Coronavirus. This article highlights the benefits of each component of the I4.0, which is useful in controlling the spread of COVID-19. From the present study, it is stated that I4.0 technologies could provide an effective solution to deal with local as well as global medical crises in an innovative way.
ABSTRACT
Most of the governments around the world have temporarily closed educational institutions in an attempt to control the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). These nationwide closures are impacting over 91% of world's student population according to UNESCO 2020. In Ethiopia, schools and universities are deploying a mix of innovative and renewed approaches to ensure the right to education. In view of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, universities need contingency planning. This planning should include preparation for efficient teaching and learning methods to reach students in a fruitful way. Innovative measures should be implemented in educational organizations to control spread of Corona virus. Present study is aimed to discuss some experiences of Bule Hora University and other Ethiopian universities during and after COVID-19 pandemic for continuing education for post-graduate and Philosophy of Doctor (PhD) students. Some future visions have been suggested to handle any type of situation in future with of hampering the education system.
