ABSTRACT
During the COVID 19 pandemic in Peru, the digitalization process of criminal public hearings increased, initiated in previous years by the introduction of ICTs in the work of legal institutions and professionals. This situation has given rise to debates on the application of the principle of immediacy, which traditionally governs criminal proceedings. The present work has the objective of analyzing the influence of digitalization on the principle of immediacy in criminal public hearings, held in Peru during the COVID 19 pandemic. To achieve this objective, a qualitative design study, descriptive and the use of theoretical level methods, to explain the use of ICTs and the digitization process, the general principles of law, with an emphasis on im-mediacy, and digitization in criminal public hearings. As a result, it is concluded that legislation and jurisprudence agree that the digitalization of public criminal hearings does not violate the principle of immediacy, but rather facilitates the interrelation of the parties, and the judge's appreciation of objective and subjective elements that guarantee his conviction. to dictate a fair and well-founded sentence in matters of facts and law. © 2023, University of Cienfuegos, Carlos Rafael Rodriguez.

ABSTRACT
This paper reviewed the literature on the topics of organizational redesign, digital transformation, strategic planning, process management, administrative simplification, continuous improvement, redesign and automation, and also considered the activities developed to implement organizational redesign in the quarantine declared by the Peruvian state as a result of COVID 19, with the purpose of proposing a method for organizational redesign towards digital transformation in public entities, with a strategic and operational approach. For the implementation of the strategic approach, the institutions that functionally depend on the Ministry of Education were involved, considering the current situation in relation to the operational and territorial capacities of each region, to develop the strategic and process design. Likewise, for the implementation of the operational approach, the results of the virtual course on process management for administrative simplification 2 were used, involving several institutions that proposed and implemented improvements towards the digitization of processes, promoting digital transformation. The results of the present work consider the effective time of the administrative procedures and the cost of implementation. The effective time of the procedures was reflected in a reduction of 11% and 52% in the reduction of the cost of the procedures. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
ABSTRACT
Understanding key factors of the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines by the community could aid governmental agencies, medical practitioners, and other entities in reducing the impact of vaccine avoidance. The study aimed to assess the factors influencing people's acceptance and refusal to receive the COVID-19 vaccination in the Western Region of Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study using an equestionnaire was used to collect responses from consenting participants aged over 12 who are residents in the Western Region of Saudi Arabia. A validated and pre-tested questionnaire was used that recorded socio-demographic details, awareness about COVID-19 vaccines, attitudes toward vaccination in general, and factors influencing the decision of COVID-19 vaccine compliance. The COVID-19 vaccine administration rate was 96.5%, and the most commonly administered vaccine was Pfizer-BioNTech (78%). The most widely reported influencing factor was intrinsic influences. Vaccine administration was significantly higher among those who believed COVID-19 vaccines are safe (p<0.001) and those who believed vaccines could help in controlling in pandemic (p<0.001). The public's trust in vaccines can be increased by distributing information about the vaccine's safety and undertaking health education initiatives.
