ABSTRACT
This study examines the moderation role of innovation and infrastructure on the relationship between covid-19 crisis and healthcare performance in Jordan. The methodology of this study includes a literature review to identify relevant studies and theories related to the topic and identify gaps in the existing research. Attention is paid to human behavior and personnel interaction in the hospitals that receive Covid-19 cases. The findings of this study will be used to identify areas where improvements can be made in healthcare infrastructure and innovative practices to support healthcare performance during future crises better. This paper identifies specific innovative and most effective infrastructure supporting healthcare performance during a crisis, such as telemedicine, remote monitoring, or emergency medical service (EMS) systems. Also, the paper informs policy-making by providing insights into the impact of innovative practices and infrastructure on healthcare performance and how these factors can mitigate future crises' impact on healthcare systems. The healthcare industry needs ideas and strategies as the Covid-19 pandemic grips the world. These strategies will help the industry deal with the unstable and continuously changing environment. © 2023 WITPress. All rights reserved.
ABSTRACT
Electronic learning commonly known as e-learning is an interactive learning method that involves the use of information and communication technology to create a learning experience with sufficient freedom. E-learning has gained significant attention in education sectors around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic since it provides several benefits to learners including flexible learning facilities, distance learning opportunities, consistency in learning, time-saving, tracking capabilities, minimal cost facilities, quick response, interactive learning facilities, etc. From this point of view, this study assessed the e-learners' satisfaction amid the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabian higher education institutions. The study was conducted using mixed methods, including quantitative and qualitative approaches. The findings of the study demonstrated that higher education institutions in Saudi Arabia were well-prepared to ensure quality education for e-learners during the pandemic. In particular, it was found that the majority of students in higher education in Saudi Arabia were very pleased with the e-learning classroom facilities, teacher contact, accessibility, assessment, course content, course design, and course activities. Conversely, the findings of the study reveal several existing challenges of e-learning in higher education institutions, including high internet costs, technological issues, time management issues, less motivation to access e-classrooms, the quality of online classes, etc. Therefore, this paper recommends that to address the issues that might influence to e-learners' satisfaction of e-learning in higher education institutions in Saudi Arabia, concerned authorities should provide special attention to ensure technological development, professional development, communication development, and updated policies and standards. © 2022 Published by Faculty of Engineeringg.
ABSTRACT
It has been catastrophic for the year 2020 with a Covid-19 pandemic outbreak with more thanlO million confirmed cases and hundred thousand of deaths throughout the globe. Most countries issued a total lockdown in order to break the coronavirus chain and this is affecting the economic sectors as a whole especially in logistics sector. There have been uproars such as warehouse congestion due to lack of employees as per standard operation procedure and billions of dollars loss due to lack of ship call during Restricted Movement Order (RMO). Due to the perceived restriction, it was found that logistics firm fails to adapt with the sudden pandemic and most of them cannot come up with a contingency plan to confront with such situation. Thus, deep literature reviews in this study is to understand how logistic firms can adapt with the new norm and to explore the efficiency drivers affecting logistics system to operate effectively. In short, the findings of this study are vital for logistics firm to operate efficiently and to be well-prepared for a future sporadic exasperate pandemic. © 2022 American Institute of Physics Inc..
