The paper provides an analysis of one of the feeblest countries that were once one of the richest. The country is actually facing several economic and political crises. This crisis originated from the continuous communist economic system and its’ heavy dependence on oil as a source of revenue. The dependence on oil and the absence of other sources put the country at high risk not for the country only but for the whole region. The paper provides an overview of the reasons for escalating the current situation and its implications on the neighbor countries and a conclusion reflecting the foreseen possible economic situations way out.

Japan is a disaster-prone country and natural disasters could happen under COVID-19. Shelter management is especially important because many people evacuate there and there’s high risk of spreading infection. In order to establish feasible countermeasures in shelters, we conducted a survey about the current situation of preparation and experience of shelter management in Japanese local governments under COVID-19. From the answer of 346 municipalities, we found that some municipalities took measures against COVID-19 such as adding new shelters and conducting the training, and these proactive measures were very useful. However, due to the addition of infectious disease control work, it became clear that it would take time and difficulty at reception, and that it would be even more difficult to identify evacuees with the recommended distributed evacuation. These results can be useful in proceeding consideration of better shelter management under COVID-19.

The Right

The second most important pillar of Islam after prayers is Zakat. In the Qur'an, the command of obligatory prayers and zakat has been mentioned together in (82) places. Zakat is the backbone of the Islamic economic system. The philosophy behind the ruling on the payment of Zakat is that the Islamic government should provide the whole society with such an economic system, way of life and social structure in which the needs of the needy people of the society can be met. Islam has made it the duty of every rich Muslim to withdraw one and a half per cent of his accumulated wealth on an annual basis and deposit it collectively in the government treasury. Government has to spend the money of Zakat on meeting the needs of the poor, needy and impoverished people of the society. This is only the right of those deserving whose details have been explicitly stated in the books of Qur'an, Hadith and Fiqh. Zakat is the right of human beings, on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also the right of Allah. Due to its non-payment, on the one hand, the right of human beings is denied and on the other hand, the right of Allah Almighty is denied. Therefore, it is very important to deliver the amount of Zakat to its rightful owners. The Qur'an mentions eight uses of zakat. It is an important issue in the present times to bring Zakat to its actual recipients. This article examines the recipients of Zakat and the current situation and how these recipients can be made appropriate in a proper manner.

Abstract Background: It is of great significance for brain and heart health managers to assess the electronic health literacy of people at high risk of stroke for improving the current situation of stroke in China. Although various measuring instruments have been developed, there is still a lack of suitable tools to match the development of network.Aim: To examine the reliability and validity of the electronic Health Literacy Scale（e-HLS）among people at high risk of stroke in China, so as to provide appropriate measurement tools for brain heart health managers.Methods: A demographic questionnaire, the electronic Health Literacy Scale（e-HLS）and the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS) were administered to a sample of 648 people at high risk of stroke recruited from November to December 2020 in a tertiary hospital.Results: The Cronbach’α coefficient on the e-HLS-CHI was 0.91. Three factors were extracted by Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), accounting for 90.84% of the total variance. Confirmatory Factory Analysis (CFA) revealed that three factors of e-HLS-CHI fit well ( NFI = 0.979, RFI = 0.955, IFI = 0.987, TLI = 0.972, CFI=0.987, RMSEA = 0.070, CMIN/DF= 2.586). Good simultaneous validity was suggested by the positive correlation of 0.94 between the e-HLS-CHI and eHEALS. And when using eHEALS as the standard, the area under the ROC curve of e-HLS-CHI was 0.896 (95% CI: 0.831-0.960, P = 0.000). After calculation, the sensitivity and specificity were 97.8% and 70.4% respectively, indicating that it has nice predictive validity.Conclusions: The e-HLS can be used to evaluate electronic health literacy of people at high risk of stroke in China. This may be helpful for brain and heart health managers to assess the current situation of electronic health literacy in people at high risk of stroke and provide reference for future health promotion programs.

Children With Hearing Loss

The critical need to identify children with hearing loss and provide treatment at the earliest possible age has become increasingly apparent in recent years (Northern & Downs, 1978). Reduction of the auditory signal during the critical language-learning period can severely limit the child's potential for developing a complete, effective communication system. Identification and treatment of children having handicapping conditions at an early age has gained impetus through the Handicapped Children's Early Education Program (HCEEP) projects funded by the Bureau of Education for the Handicapped (BEH).
