The outbreak of Covid-19 disease since late 2019 has led to fundamental changes in the process of globalization and liberalization of the world economy. In order to prevent the spread of this disease and control its negative consequences, many countries have implemented policies such as urban quarantine, cutting off passenger communication with neighboring countries and the world, closing tourist and tourist places, and implementing policies to protect domestic industries. In general, it led to the phenomenon of reverse globalization. According to the development of new economic convergence, which is based on the role of the market in economic relations between countries can play an important role in improving the productive capacity of countries in a region and create economic integration in different parts of the world. Such a state of integration in different parts of the world could be the solution to the process of globalization and in the post-Corona era, the concept of “one for all, all for one” was created at the regional and global level. As policy implications, the paper recommended some points to make a greater integration between Iran and Russia in the region

Access to broadband communications in different parts of the world has become a priority for some governments and regulatory authorities around the world in recent years. Building new digital roads and pursuing a connected society includes looking for easier access to the internet. In general, not all areas where people congregate are fully covered, especially in rural zones, thus restricting access to data communications and inducing inequality. In the present review article, we have comprehensively surveyed the use of three platforms to deliver broadband services to such remote and low-income areas, and they are proposed as follows: unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), altitude platforms (AP), and low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. These novel strategies support the connected and accessible world hypothesis. Hence, UAVs are considered a noteworthy solution since their efficient maneuverability can solve rural coverage issues or not-spots.

Quality In Higher Education

The main objective of this paper is to illustrate the current status of quality assurance practices and identify challenges and opportunities facing Tribhuvan University (TU) in general and higher education institutions of TU in particular. Apart from a range of benefits and prospects from adopting and implementing the Quality Assurance and Accreditation (QAA) system within TU, it has been facing a number of challenges in maintaining quality in its higher education institutions. In return, the implementation of the system can create a number of opportunities, particularly it has to internationalize its higher education and show a strong presence in the world university rankings. In order to meet this objective, the study has used a descriptive-analytical approach to find out the issues related to quality assurance in higher education institutions. Finally, the paper has made important policy implications and recommendations to support the ongoing efforts of UGC, Nepal and maintain and ensure quality in higher education institutions of TU.

All child deaths occurring from 1976 to 1980 in Maine were studied. All children who were participating in social welfare programs (Medicaid, Food Stamps, or Aid to Families with Dependent Children [AFDC]) at the time of death were categorized as children from "low-income" families. This group of children had an overall death rate 3.1 times greater than children who were not on a social welfare program at the time of death. Children from low-income families were at higher risk for disease-related deaths (3.5:1), accidental deaths (2.6:1), and homicide deaths (5.0:1), but not for suicides. These data suggest that excess mortality is occurring among infants and children from low-income families in spite of Medicaid and other poverty programs and that this excess mortality has important public health and social policy implications. Pediatricians and others interested in the well-being of children should support improvement of current health care delivery and social welfare programs, because the current system is failing to provide an optimal health outlook for every child.

Low Income Families

The nutrition transition in China has proceeded to the extent that the food -consumption behaviour of low-income and high-income groups is different. Failure to consider these differences could lead to inappropriate assumptions about some basic food policy issues. This analysis was undertaken using a sample of adults 1850 years old from the 1991 China Health and Nutrition Survey. Low-income families have a greater propensity to increase or decrease fat and calorie intakes than high-income families. This difference has important, policy implications and shows why it should be considered in making decisions regarding consumption behaviour. Selecting the appropriate income switching or cut-off point is central to capturing this structural difference.

Real Estates

In order to meet the housing shortage, was created popular housing programs for low-income families. In Brazil, these programs differs from the rest of the world, since here the programs are directed to the acquisition of real estate, unlike the rest of the world where the focus is lower rents for low-income families. In the context, this type of program has also been used as a tool against economic crises. Based on these aspects, this article aims to identify how the FGTS funds are being used regarding the housing finance. To perform this analysis was studied the targeting of FGTS funds for social housing in Brazil, thus demonstrating, a convincing growth in this modality and also an exchange preferably after the year 2009, of used real estates to new ones.

Based on current theoretical foundations, this chapter discusses the advantages of using authentic literature in the EL classroom by providing a first approach to contemporary short stories written in English from different parts of the world. A practical proposal is also provided for language trainers: two multicultural short stories are shown as a means to develop both language acquisition and intercultural communicative competence at B1/B2 levels. The study shows that using authentic literary texts in the EL classroom will enable students not just to improve their reading skills and language input, but also to acquire cultural knowledge and develop critical thinking at the same time.
