This research gave an overview of coordinated hospital planning issues. In these issues, patients desire an arrangement for different source types, ideally as quickly as time permits. This field of context has just picked up academic interest, despite its reality since 1995. The way may discover a clarification for the above aspect that managing the hospital sources is regularly performed separately without taking a bigger picture. Therefore, it is particularly valid if the sources are situated in different departments. Another subsequent clarification may be related to the notoriety of the patient flow context. Hence, patients shouldn't be planned in these issues to be queued for another source or leave the system in case of their satisfaction of solicitation for the services at a particular source. The primary contribution of the present research is assisting present and new scholars via enumeration for every progression of the study of accessible decisions in the present context. Such means could be represented by major references for scientists to discover such studies endeavors tailored to their respective requirements. This principle removes the message: scientists ought to consistently coordinate their decisions concerning the setting, the capacity, and the approaches, as not all blends are conceivable.

Service Areas

The basic premise explored in this paper is that patient flow in rural areas is based on the proximity to medical care. The hospital is defined as the center of care and hospital catchment areas are defined by patient movements. A methodology is described to analyze patient flow among an assemblage of hospitals. Finally, a model which mathematically replicates patient movement is introduced to act as an aid in the hospital planning process.

There is a satisfying logic to the Greek choice of air, water, and earth as elements. Today we see this logic reflected in the way that that global science is subdivided into the categories of air, land, and water. Thus, the relevance of a science of global issues is not merely of academic interest. The tide of environmental concern, a vision of limits to growth, and a desire for sustainability have fostered an unprecedented interest in global sciences.

Vernacular transformations of underused places give shape to Ephemeral Urban Dwellings (EUD). By reading the spatial patterns of use of three of these buildings, this paper demonstrates that EUD replicate the way activities and ideas of privacy are related to space in the previous and permanent homes left behind by its inhabitants. The case studies are located in central areas of Bogotá and, although ephemeral, they have stayed for years. Personal interviews and mental maps drawn by the interviewees as well as on site drawings and photography by the author are the main sources of this study. The paper recalls the processes of cultural appropriation that take place when people adjust to new cultural contexts. In the case of the dwellings studied, these processes give clues on how the ideas that shape the way people use space are translated into new places. The paper's conclusion calls for further research on EUD as an object of academic interest.

<p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p><p>This study is a library research using a philosophical approach and intended to examine how the concept of shura according to Hamka and M. Quraish Shihab’s view, which theygavein interpreting the verses of the Qur’an about shura in Tafsir al-Azhar and Tafsir al-Mishbah. This research will also examine the relevance of the interpretation of Hamka and M. Quraish Shihab about the shura concept in the present context.<br />Based on the research results, Hamka and M. Quraish Shihab assume that shura can be changed to adjust the condition of society. This is consistent with the interpretation of contemporary exegetes. This definition is not conflicting with the interpretation of the classical commentators. However, M. Quraish Shihab then states that it doesn’t need to bind themselves to the verdict of Islamic scholars and even former friends, so causing confusion to think, because there is no clear frame for the detachment. In short, the interpretation of M. Quraish Shihab stained the relativism interpretation. Nevertheless, Hamka’s concept of shura is still in accordance with the interpretation of the commentators so it’s very relevant when it is applied in enforcing the principle of shura in society and the Islamic state. The efforts of some Muslims who build Islam through democracy,for example in Public Election, it does not mean that they recognize democracy as a part of Islam, but it just the way(wasîlah) in maintaining dharûratul khamsah Muslims to consider the serious benefits and harms.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> shura; democracy; Hamka, Quraish Shihab.</p>

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way hospitals work. Strategies that were detached from the boundaries of departments and responsibilities in the COVID-19 pandemic have proven themselves under extreme conditions and show a beneficial influence on patient flow and resource management as well as on the communication culture. The continuation of closer interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral co-operation in a “new clinical routine” could have a positive impact on personnel concepts, communication strategies, and the management of acute care capacities and patient pathways.Design/methodology/approachThe aim of the paper is to critically discuss the knowledge gained in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic from the various approaches in patient flow and capacity management as well as interdisciplinary co-operation. More recent research has evaluated patient pathway management, personnel planning and communication measures with regard to their effect and practicability for continuation in everyday clinical practice.FindingsPatient flows and acute care capacities can be more efficiently managed by continuing a culture change towards closer interdisciplinary and intersectoral co-operation and technologies that support this with telemedicine functionalities and regional healthcare data interoperability. Together with a bi-directional, more frequent and open communication and feedback culture, it could form a “new clinical routine”.Originality/valueThis paper discusses a holistic approach on the way away from silo thinking towards cross-departmental collaboration.

Sustainability products became a “new normal” for the nowadays society. Different aspects of government, economical and socio-cultural issues affect the sustainability certificate perception by final consumers. The aim of this paper is to consider findings from marketing research and analyze the outputs. The survey monitored green behavior by the Czech consumers in time. The reason and motivation of this analysis was the academic interest in Czech buying behavior modification, caused by pandemic COVID-19. Sustainability products contribute different specifics related to the way of production, processing, and selling. All mentioned aspects reflect the final consumer buying decision which can fluctuate under the worldwide and local impacts.

Despite the cessation of a variety of governmental organisations, policies, and programmes throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the termination concept which emerged during the late 1970s remains heavily underused. This is attributed partly to the effects of the same incremental practices which termination was designed to solve; partly to the difficulties of distinguishing the categories of ‘termination’ from ‘succession’; and partly to Kaufman's assertion that organisational survival was a matter of chance, and therefore not fruitful to study. Academic interest in governmental cessations remains firmly rooted in the termination of organisations; much less attention has been paid to the ending of policies and programmes. Management science research can be used to challenge assertions about the lack of pattern in organisational survival, and the way in which political science has operationalised the concept of incrementalism, suggesting the applicability of semirationalist techniques in an incrementalist world. With a hierarchical reformulation of de Leon's 1978 categorisation of governmental functions, organisations, policies, and programmes it is here suggested that termination and succession are distinct. The aim is to demonstrate the practical utility of the termination concept, both for analysis and for practitioners whose interest is centred on the opportunity-cost savings which cessations can make available.

The purpose of this paper is to examine some of the context in which mapping is practiced and thought about. I shall make several points. First, our present context is historical and arose from identifiable events that help shape the way mapping takes place today. But every context allows some possibilities and closes off others. Second, our current context is based on a Cartesian–scientific worldview which casts maps as communicators of spatial location. One consequence of this is that we do not take account of maps as helping us find our meaningful place in the world. Third, examining this context as a horizon of possibilities is itself a political project. Finally, some possible components of such a “politics of mapping” are sketched out that might let us understand our horizon of possibilities in order to expand it.

Over the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, rethinking the traditional understanding of revelation has been welcomed by a number of Muslim scholars. Moḥammad Moǧtahed Šabestarī, an influential Šīʿī reformer from contemporary Iran, certainly falls in the category of such scholars. The aim of this paper is to discuss his theory of revelation for the purpose of exploring the potential values it holds for flexible interpretation of Islam in the present context. The paper argues that Šabestarī’s method of interpretation of the Qurʾān has its roots in his account of revelation. In order to show in practice how Šabestarī’s understanding of the nature of revelation influences the way he approaches the Qurʾān, the paper focuses on three main themes that consistently appear throughout his writings, namely Qurʾānic socio-political provisions, religious pluralism and the relation between state and religion. The paper, in general, provides an insight of how rethinking the classical methods, ideas and approaches can take place within Islamic tradition in the modern period.À la fin du xxe et début du xxie siècles, le fait de repenser la compréhension traditionnelle de la Révélation fut bien accueilli par un certain nombre de savants musulmans. Moḥammad Moǧtahed Šabestarī, un influent réformateur chiite de l’Iran contemporain, appartient sans nul doute à cette catégorie de savants. Le propos de cet article est d’analyser sa théorie sur la Révélation dans le but d’explorer ses valeurs potentielles pour une interprétation souple de l’islam en fonction du contexte contemporain. L’article démontre que la méthode d’interprétation du Coran de Šabestarī trouve ses racines dans son récit de la Révélation. Afin de montrer concrètement comment la compréhension qu’avait Šabestanī de la nature de la Révélation influence la façon dont il aborde le Coran, l’article se concentre sur trois thèmes principaux qui apparaissent systématiquement dans ses écrits, à savoir les dispositions socio-politiques du Coran, le pluralisme religieux et la relation entre l’État et la religion. D’une manière générale, l’article donne un aperçu de la façon dont le fait de repenser les méthodes, idées et approches classiques peut avoir sa place dans la tradition islamique à l’époque contemporaine.

The modern revival of interest in Celtic Christianity which reached its height during the last decade of the twentieth century was a largely popular and non-academic phenomenon. However, it did stimulate academic interest and activity within Scottish university departments of theology and religious studies. This chapter surveys the academic aspects of the Celtic Christian revival, focusing especially on the work of James Mackey and Noel O’Donoghue in Edinburgh, Thomas Clancy and Gilbert Markus in Glasgow, and Donald Meek in Aberdeen. It explores the tensions between enthusiasts for Celtic Christianity and those highly sceptical of the entire concept and charts the way the focus of studies in this area has moved from Britain to the United States and from the theological to the historical, linguistic, and cultural.
