Aplikasi Fiqh al-Awlawiyyat dalam Menangani Isu Covid-19: Analisis Terhadap Isu yang Terpilih

Pandemik Covid-19 di Malaysia telah menyebabkan hampir keseluruhan amalan kehidupan seharian masyarakat berubah. Hal ini kerana dengan adanya Prosedur Operasi Standard (SOP) yang telah dilaksanakan oleh pihak yang bertanggungjawab dalam menjaga dan memelihara kemaslahatan awam seperti pemakaian pelitup muka, larangan menunaikan solat jemaah di masjid, pemakaian perlindungan diri (PPE) bagi petugas-petugas barisan hadapan dan sebagainya. Tujuan kajian ini dijalankan adalah untuk membincangkan tentang pengaplikasian fiqh al-awlāwiyyāt dalam isu terpilih yang berkaitan dengan Covid-19. Metodologi kajian kualitatif ini menggunakan reka bentuk kajian kes. Seterusnya, kaedah dokumentasi dilakukan berdasarkan kepada maklumat sekunder yang diperolehi daripada media massa, kitab-kitab agama serta lama sesawang. Kajian ini juga hanya tertumpu kepada beberapa isu yang terpilih sahaja. Analisis data telah mendapati bahawa, fiqh al-awlāwiyyāt telah diaplikasikan dalam penetapan dan pengeluaran hukum yang juga berdasarkan kepada qawaid fiqhiyyah dan maqāṣid syari'ah. Hal ini kerana setiap hukum yang diputuskan mestilah melihat keadaan atau adat sesuatu tempat. Maka, apabila berlakunya perubahan seperti negara dilanda wabak dan sebagainya, terdapat pelbagai hukum yang berubah selari dengan kemaslahatan awam. Ketetapan yang telah diputuskan oleh Muzakarah Jawatankuasa Hal Ehwal Ugama Islam telah menunjukkan bahawa kepentingan menjaga kemaslahatan awam semasa berlakunya sesuatu wabak. Masyarakat juga memainkan peranan penting dalam memastikan wabak ini dapat dibendung dan mengurangkan risiko jangkitan virus tersebut. Oleh yang demikian, kajian ini telah dapat menyimpulkan bahawa pengaplikasian fiqh al-awlāwiyyāt dalam sesuatu permasalahan ketika dilanda wabak adalah sangat penting dan memerlukan kepada penelitian yang mendalam. The Covid-19 pandemic in Malaysia has caused almost the entire practice of daily life of the community to change. This is because of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) that have been implemented by those responsible for maintaining and preserving public welfare such as wearing face masks, ban on performing congregational prayers in mosques, wearing personal protection (PPE) for front line officers, and so on. The purpose of this study is to discuss the application of fiqh al-awlawiyyāt in the selected issues related to Covid-19. This qualitative researh methodolody uses a case study design. Next, the documentation method is based on the secondary information that has been obtained from the religious book, web pages, mass media and so on. Data analysis has found that fiqh al-awlawiyyāt has been applied in the setting and issuing laws which are also based on qawaid fiqhiyyah and maqāṣid al-shariah.This is because before the fatwa or every law issued, the panel must look at the circumstances or customs of a place. So, when there is a change such as a country hit by an epidemic and so on, there are various laws that change in line with the public interest. The ruling that has been decided by the Muzakarah of the Islamic Religious Affairs Committee has shown that the importance of safeguarding the public interest during an epidemic. The community also plays an important role in ensuring that the epidemic can be curbed and reduce the risk of infection with the virus. Therefore, this study has been able to conclude that the application of al-awlawiyyāt in a problem when hit by an epidemic is very important and requires in-depth research.

Reddit and Google Activity Related to Non-COVID Epidemic Diseases Surged at Start of COVID-19 Pandemic: Retrospective Study.

BACKGROUND: Resources such as Google Trends and Reddit provide opportunities to gauge real-time popular interest in public health issues. Despite the potential for these publicly available and free resources to help optimize public health campaigns, use for this purpose has been limited. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to determine whether early public awareness of COVID-19 correlated with elevated public interest in other infectious diseases of public health importance. METHODS: Google Trends search data and Reddit comment data were analyzed from 2018 through 2020 for the frequency of keywords "chikungunya," "Ebola," "H1N1," "MERS," "SARS," and "Zika," 6 highly publicized epidemic diseases in recent decades. After collecting Google Trends relative popularity scores for each of these 6 terms, unpaired 2-tailed t tests were used to compare the 2020 weekly scores for each term to their average level over the 3-year study period. The number of Reddit comments per month with each of these 6 terms was collected and then adjusted for the total estimated Reddit monthly comment volume to derive a measure of relative use, analogous to the Google Trends popularity score. The relative monthly incidence of comments with each search term was then compared to the corresponding search term's pre-COVID monthly comment data, again using unpaired 2-tailed t tests. P value cutoffs for statistical significance were determined a priori with a Bonferroni correction. RESULTS: Google Trends and Reddit data both demonstrate large and statistically significant increases in the usage of each evaluated disease term through at least the initial months of the pandemic. Google searches and Reddit comments that included any of the evaluated infectious disease search terms rose significantly in the first months of 2020 above their baseline usage, peaking in March 2020. Google searches for "SARS" and "MERS" remained elevated for the entirety of the 2020 calendar year, as did Reddit comments with the words "Ebola," "H1N1," "MERS," and "SARS" (P<.001, for each weekly or monthly comparison, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Google Trends and Reddit can readily be used to evaluate real-time general interest levels in public health-related topics, providing a tool to better time and direct public health initiatives that require a receptive target audience. The start of the COVID-19 pandemic correlated with increased public interest in other epidemic infectious diseases. We have demonstrated that for 6 distinct infectious causes of epidemics over the last 2 decades, public interest rose substantially and rapidly with the outbreak of COVID-19. Our data suggests that for at least several months after the initial outbreak, the public may have been particularly receptive to dialogue on these topics. Public health officials should consider using Google Trends and social media data to identify patterns of engagement with public health topics in real time and to optimize the timing of public health campaigns.

The Relationship Between Public Interest and Surgical Demand During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

INTRODUCTION: Surgical databases are useful for examining outcomes and case volume to improve care, while public interest data has the potential to track the supply and demand of medical services in specific communities. However, the relationship between public interest data and case volume from surgical databases, specifically during disruptive instances like the coronavirus pandemic, is unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine how public interest data is related to the case volume of coronavirus and other surgical procedures performed during the coronavirus pandemic. METHODS: This retrospective study included a review of appendectomy, total hip arthroplasty (THA), and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) cases from the National Surgery Quality Improvement Project and relative search volume (RSV) of hip replacement, knee replacement, appendicitis, and coronavirus from Google Trends from 2019 to 2020. T-tests were used to compare surgical caseload and RSV data before and after the COVID-19 surge in March 2020, while linear models were used to determine relationships between confirmed procedures and relative search volumes. RESULTS: The RSV for knee replacement (p < 0.001, Cohen's D [d] = -5.01, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -7.64 to -2.34) and hip replacement (p < 0.001, d = -7.22, 95% CI: -10.85 to -3.57) had a large dip during the coronavirus pandemic, while the RSV for appendicitis had a smaller dip (p = 0.003, d = -2.37, 95% CI: -3.93 to -0.74). Linear models showed very strong linear relationships between surgical RSV and surgical volume for TKA (R2 = 0.931) and THA (R2 = 0.940). CONCLUSIONS: There was a significant reduction in the number of elective surgeries, which correlated to drops in public interest during COVID-19. The strong correlations between RSV, surgical volume, and coronavirus cases indicate that public interest can be used to track and predict surgical case volume. Our findings allow for greater insight into the use of public interest data to gauge surgical demand.

Impact of COVID-19 on Public Interest in Breast Cancer Screening and Related Symptoms: Google Trends Analysis.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a decrease in cancer screening due to the redeployment of health care resources and public avoidance of health care facilities. Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in female individuals, with improved survival rates from early detection. An avoidance of screening, resulting in late detection, greatly affects survival and increases health care resource burden and costs. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate if a sustained decrease in public interest in screening occurred and to evaluate other search terms, and hence interest, associated with that. METHODS: This study used Google Trends to analyze public interest in breast cancer screening and symptoms. We queried search data for 4 keyword terms ("mammogram," "breast pain," "breast lump," and "nipple discharge") from January 1, 2019, to January 1, 2022. The relative search frequency metric was used to assess interest in these terms, and related queries were retrieved for each keyword to evaluate trends in search patterns. RESULTS: Despite an initial drastic drop in interest in mammography from March to April 2020, this quickly recovered by July 2020. After this period, alongside the recovery of interest in screening, there was a rapid increase in interest for arranging for mammography. Relative search frequencies of perceived breast cancer-related symptoms such as breast lump, nipple discharge, and breast pain remained stable. There was increase public interest in natural and alternative therapy of breast lumps despite the recovery of interest in mammography and breast biopsy. There was a significant correlation between search activity and Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. CONCLUSIONS: Online search interest in breast cancer screening experienced a sharp decline at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a subsequent return to baseline interest in arranging for mammography followed this short period of decreased interest.

The Purpose of Legal Education

When President Donald Trump launched an assault on diversity training, critical race theory, and The 1619 Project in September 2020 as "divisive, un-American propaganda," many law students were presumably confused. After all, law school has historically been doctrinally neutral, racially homogenous, and socially hierarchical. In most core law school courses, colorblindness and objectivity trump critical legal discourse on issues of race, gender, or sexuality. Yet, such disorientation reflects a longstanding debate over the fundamental purpose of law school. As U.S. law schools develop anti -racist curricula and expand their experiential learning programs to produce so-called practice-ready lawyers for the crises exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, scholars continue to question whether and how, if at all, the purpose of law school converges with societal efforts to reckon with America's legacy of White supremacy.This Article argues that the anti-racist, democratic, and movement lawyering principles advocated by progressive legal scholars should not be viewed merely as aspirational ideals for social justice law courses. Rather, querying whether legal systems and political institutions further racism, economic oppression, or social injustice must be viewed as endemic to the fundamental purpose of legal education. In so doing, this Article makes three important contributions to the literature on legal education and philosophical legal ethics. First, it clarifies how two ideologies-functionalism and neoliberalism-have threatened to drift law school's historic public purpose away from the democratic norms of public citizenship, inflicting law students, law faculty, and the legal academy with an existential identity crisis. Second, it explores historical mechanisms of institutional change within law schools that reveal diverse notions of law school's purpose as historically contingent. Such perspectives are shaped by the behaviors, cultural attitudes, and ideological beliefs of law faculty operating within particular social, political, and economic contexts. Third, and finally, it demonstrates the urgency of moving beyond liberal legalism in legal education by integrating critical legal theories and movement law principles throughout the entire law school curriculum.

‘Creabimus!' Creatively re-thinking the corporation and the social contract

This article rethinks the corporation and ‘the social contract with business' for the post-pandemic era. It uses a double historical orientation centred on the turbulence of the 1930s in Europe and America to insist on the company's relationship with government, and to explore transformations in the social contract now needed to socialise and ecologise global business. One part of this history looks forward, from Adolf Berle's modern corporation to the neoliberal corporation and regulatory governance. The article criticises a transformation of regulatory priorities in this era, closely analysing the shift to procedural mandates and questioning the corporate law tactic of ‘enlightening' companies. The second part looks backwards to industrial modernism and Walter Rathenau in Germany in the interwar era, and also earlier (the late 1890s), to salvage a different understanding of the company and social contract, built around more constructivist visions of law, government and social consciousness. This part of the article is insistent about the metaphysical aspects of law and about developing law's equalising powers around corporate impactfulness and injustice. It promotes ‘thought' about collectivism (John Keynes) and the legal and regulatory recalibration that is needed to confront certain amassing challenges of the present. The article makes institutional transformation about shifting onto a different historical axis, whereby we might re-learn collectivist ambitions around the company that co-evolves with law and government, live to the public interest. It proposes a new social contract with business and a new regulatory modus involving law's ‘Creabimus' and ‘regulating dangerously' for situations of widely adverse corporate impactfulness.

Introduction

It was constantly claimed that politicians followed science during the Covid-19 pandemic. This suggests that they acted as public-interested individuals who took expert advice to protect public health and to promote the so-called "common good.” Another possible explanation of the pandemic decision-making is that they ignored science and simply acted in order to maximize their personal utility. This is in line with public choice theory which holds that politicians act as self-interested persons. On closer inspection, it is showed that the latter is the case and that the pandemic policy responses were at odds with science, served the interests of politicians and bureaucrats who were at the helm during that decision-making process while inflicting serious damage to the society by and large. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Mandatory Vaccination of Medical Personnel against Covid-19: European Standards of Its Introduction

Objective: to identify the standards of the European Court of Human Rights on the introduction of mandatory vaccination of medical personnel from COVID-19 in conditions of pandemic. The analysis has been carried out on the Decisions of the European Court of Human Rights as for vaccination matters, which formed the legal position of the Court on its implementation by the State. These decisions were divided into groups according to the conditions in which the European Council launched mandatory vaccination: the situation, which is being ordinary, one (standard vaccination against diseases well known to medical science, where vaccines have been tested and investigated thoroughly). Another one is extraordinary situation within society and state, as well as in the world, for example, COVID-19 pandemic. The standards of the European Court of Human Rights for the introduction of mandatory vaccination of medical personnel against COVID-19 in conditions of pandemic have been identified: these measures must be provided by the State legislation which is to meet quality rule of law criteria;to pursue legitimate goal (protection of the population from COVID-19);to be necessary in democratic society. Mandatory vaccination of healthcare professionals against COVID-19 should be used if the goal of protecting the population from COVID-19 cannot be achieved in other ways. Mandatory vaccination of medical personnel against COVID-19 is not the same as forced vaccination. The medical employee chooses whether to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or not according to his own views, values, no matter how irrational, unreasonable, shortsighted they may be in the opinion of the state and other people. The state does not have the right to use forced vaccination, but may apply the following: a range of measures to clarify, persuade, encourage mandatory vaccination of medical personnel against COVID-19, which may be direct or indirect, but not violent;sanctions for refusal from mandatory vaccination of medical personnel from COVID-19 who have no contraindications (suspension from medical activities, fines, etc.). Conclusions. The data obtained in this way allow us to develop further proposals for improving legal regulation of vaccination in Member States of the Council of Europe and increase the effectiveness of ensuring the rights of medical personnel, reduce tensions within society.Copyright © 2022 Trylyst.

Literacy and strategic marketing to raise public awareness using Sharia pawnshops during the COVID-19 pandemic

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to reveal empirical facts that literacy and marketing strategies effectively impact people using Sharia pawn products during the COVID-19 pandemic because of the pressure of capital needs and financial difficulties. Design/methodology/approach: This study used an exploratory qualitative research approach through semi-structured interviews with six partners of different productive ages and social, economic and educational backgrounds. After data reduction, presentation, description and validation, this paper develops the theory and presents it as a qualitative thematic analysis. Findings: The findings of this study revealed that those who had socialised Sharia pawnshops had a low literacy level. Nonetheless, the socialisation of Sharia pawnshops increases literacy and public understanding of pawnshop products in Sharia pawnshops. This issue arises because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which makes it impossible for Sharia pawnshops to hold an event or socialise. Originality/value: The authenticity of this study proves that literacy and marketing strategies can increase public awareness of Sharia pawn products during the COVID-19 pandemic. © 2023, Emerald Publishing Limited.

Protecting the public interest when regulating health professionals providing virtual care: a scoping review protocol.

BACKGROUND: Virtual care is transforming the nature of healthcare, particularly with the accelerated shift to telehealth and virtual care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Health profession regulators face intense pressures to safely facilitate this type of healthcare while upholding their legislative mandate to protect the public. Challenges for health profession regulators have included providing practice guidance for virtual care, changing entry-to-practice requirements to include digital competencies, facilitating interjurisdictional virtual care through licensure and liability insurance requirements, and adapting disciplinary procedures. This scoping review will examine the literature on how the public interest is protected when regulating health professionals providing virtual care. METHODS: This review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) scoping review methodology. Academic and grey literature will be retrieved from health sciences, social sciences, and legal databases using a comprehensive search strategy underpinned by Population-Concept-Context (PCC) inclusion criteria. Articles published in English since January 2015 will be considered for inclusion. Two reviewers will independently screen titles and abstracts and full-text sources against specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Discrepancies will be resolved through discussion or by a third reviewer. One research team member will extract relevant data from the selected documents and a second will validate the extractions. DISCUSSION: Results will be presented in a descriptive synthesis that highlights implications for regulatory policy and professional practice, as well as study limitations and knowledge gaps that warrant further research. Given the rapid expansion of virtual care provision by regulated health professionals in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, mapping the literature on how the public interest is protected in this rapidly evolving digital health sector may help inform future regulatory reform and innovation. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: This protocol is registered with the Open Science Framework ( https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/BD2ZX ).

Public Interest in Myocarditis during the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic.

OBJECTIVE: Public interest in the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines has been rising with regard to associated myocarditis. Thus, the objective of our study was to assess trends in public interest in myocarditis during the course of the pandemic and the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine rollout in the United States. METHODS: We conducted a longitudinal assessment of public interest in myocarditis, and its association with actual coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) -related myocarditis during the first wave of the pandemic and SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-related myocarditis following vaccine rollout. To complete this objective, we used data from 3 sources: a report from the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting database, and from Google Trends. RESULTS: Results show that Relative Search Interest (RSI) was low before and during the initial phase of the pandemic and peaked in April 2021, during the initial vaccine push. The ratio of myocarditis related to the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines was considerably lower than the ratio of myocarditis from natural infection. CONCLUSIONS: Search interest in myocarditis was low until SARS-CoV-2 vaccines were rolled out, in which media coverage intensely focused on a relatively small number of cases. This study highlights both the benefits of COVID-19 vaccine uptake and the impact of the media on public interest.

PEG allergy - A COVID-19 pandemic-made problem? A German perspective.

Background: Polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been used for decades, but only caused allergic reactions exceptionally. Introduction of PEG-containing COVID-19 vaccines might have fostered public interest beyond medical reasoning. Objectives: To investigate the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on the public interest in PEG allergy in Germany and the published PEG allergy cases worldwide. Methods: A retrospective longitudinal study was conducted to measure public interest in PEG allergy analyzing Google search volume in Germany from February 2018 to January 2022. Medically confirmed "PEG allergy" cases were analyzed by looking at the numbers of PubMed case reports and case series from 1977 until January 2022. Results: Web results in Germany before COVID-19 show search volumes related to "PEG allergy/testing" was negligible, with 10 search queries per month. The pandemic led to a >200-fold increase from 250 queries 2 years before to 55 720 queries 2 years thereafter, reflecting tremendous public interest. Additionally, the maximum monthly search volume from before to during the pandemic increased immensely for "vaccination" (57-fold), "vaccination and adverse effects" (85-fold), "vaccination and allergy" (71-fold). In contrast, the increase of publication numbers for the search term "PEG allergy" was small from 2019 to 2021 (2.5-fold). Only a very low number of 211 cases with "PEG allergy" worldwide since 1977 could be identified. Conclusion: PEG allergy became a topic of major public interest because of COVID-19 vaccination. Scientific publications have increased to a lesser extent, probably promoted by public awareness. Conversely, the overall number of cases published with PEG allergy remain very low. The current high demand for COVID-19 vaccination allergy testing is triggered by public interest instead of medical reasoning.

Leveraging the balanced scorecard to reformulate the strategy of a performing arts theater: a stakeholders' perspective

Purpose: This study expands the performance management literature by developing a strategy map and balanced scorecard (BSC) for a large performing arts theater (PAT). Design/methodology/approach: First, interviews with significant stakeholders identify key success factors (KSFs). Next, a survey is administered, and a structural model is employed to determine the importance of each KSF and their interdependent causal relationships within the PAT. Each KSF's controllability and room for improvement are also measured to facilitate implementation strategies. Findings: The results reveal that the Financial Perspective plays a critical role in the PAT's success, while significant changes can be enacted by focusing on the Internal Processes Perspective. Regarding the individual KSF, the following emerge as the most critical: excellent reputation, attendance growth, increasing sponsorship and donation, and supporting the local arts community;however, PAT managers will have to be creative to enact change through these KSF as some are difficult to control or have little perceived room for improvement. Research limitations/implications: The data were collected prior to, or at the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Post-pandemic priorities for the organization may have changed. Practical implications: By highlighting the relationships between different KSFs, this study provides PAT managers with a frame of reference for developing their BSC and performance metrics. It also offers PAT's managers a structured and adaptable approach for prioritizing their strategic choices and developing implementation plans for improved outcomes. Originality/value: This study exemplifies the need for applied BSC studies in various sectors, including nonprofit organizations. Specifically, this study extends the performance management literature by providing an example of a large PAT's performance measures, the inter-relationships among KSF and the resulting strategy map. The results are significant because arts management is a unique discipline based upon a specific body of knowledge (Weinstein and Bukovinsky, 2009). © 2022, Emerald Publishing Limited.

Rough Set: Utilizing Machine Learning for the Covid-19 Vaccine

Rough Set is a machine learning algorithm that analyses and determines important attributes based on an uncertain data set. The purpose of this study is to classify public interest in the Covid-19 vaccine. Vaccination is one of the solutions from the government that is considered the most appropriate to reduce the number of Covid-19 cases. Data collection was taken through a questionnaire distributed to the village community in Air Manik Village, Padang-West Sumatra, randomly as many as 100 respondents. The assessment attributes in this study are Vaccine Understanding (1), Environment (2), Community Education (3), Vaccine Confidence (4), and Cost (5), while the target attribute is the result that contains the community's interest or not to participate in vaccination. The analysis process is assisted using the Rosetta application. This study resulted in 3 reductions with 58 rules based on 100 respondents. This study concludes that the Rough Set algorithm can be used to classify public interest in the Covid-19 vaccine. Based on this research, it is hoped that it can provide information and input for local governments to be more aggressive in urging and encouraging the public to be vaccinated. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.

Teaching controversial socio-scientific issues in online exhibits of science museums: Covid-19 on the scene

The Covid-19 pandemic has sparked an unprecedented public debate over socio-scientific controversies, particularly regarding vaccination and social distancing measures. Despite the potential of such subjects for developing critical thinking and a sense of citizenship, the theme of controversies is still incipient in science museums. This documentary study investigates the way three science institutions have proposed online exhibits on Covid-19 on Google Arts & Culture platform and checks their potential for favoring teaching on controversial science topics. Google Arts & Culture platform was searched for Covid-19-related keywords and the filtering of the results was based on focus and organizing institutions. Three exhibits were detected, whose analysis was submitted to an inter-rater agreement (Cohen's kappa). The results revealed the predominance of social and economic aspects that can strongly favor more scientifically progressive views of both science literacy and a socially undistorted science. On the other hand, the superficiality of political discussions on science topics, a lack of naturalization of the controversial discussions, and an excessive use of textual content were identified, thus revealing some initiatives have not explored the interactivity, multimediality, and the way dilemmas that mark the trajectory of science museums extend to online exhibits. From this perspective, we point out paths for teaching and learning socio-scientific controversies in museums.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PUBLIC SERVICE MOTIVATION, WORK ENJOYMENT, AND TASK PERFORMANCE: A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS IN VIETNAM

This study aimed to examine the impact of health workers' public service motivation during their participation in response to the Covid-19 pandemic at a time of the highest number of infections and deaths in Vietnam. This study was conducted through a cross-sectional survey using an intentional sampling technique (n=200). In addition, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to illustrate the proposed hypotheses. We found that compassion in the workplace, self-sacrifice, and attraction to policy-making impacted work enjoyment positively and significantly. In particular, there was a positive and significant relationship between work enjoyment and task performance but no evidence of the relationship between Commitment to the public interest and work enjoyment. This study further demonstrates the importance of public service motivation of health workers in pandemic response, as previous studies have found. This finding suggests that the government and policymakers in Vietnam should develop policies to promote health workers' public service motivation during their engagement in response to the health crisis.

Study on the Discovery of Personal Information on the Network of People Diagnosed with COVID-19

The arbitrary disclosure of information of people diagnosed with COVID-19on the network will adversely affect personal privacy and even violate the privacy rights of individuals. Through the method of literature analysis and case analysis, the information of the confirmed patients of COVID-19 is studied on the network disclosure. The study found that information disclosure can be divided into disclosable information and non-disclosure information, and make different ways of dealing with sensitive information, sensitive information must be handled with care, personal information processing must take into account the balance between personal interests and public interests. © 2022, ICST Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.
