The emergence of this virus brings tremendous concern and fear to the world because the spread of this virus is quite fast, even the most frightening is that the risk of death of people exposed to this virus is very large. Indonesia itself, cannot avoid the impact of this Covid-19 case. As a form of efforts to prevent and minimize transmission of the virus, the Indonesian government has issued a social distancing / physical distancing recommendation. This situation also causes the interaction between communities to be very limited. This situation seems to be able to eliminate hospitality among the community. This paper aims to emphasize the importance of maintaining the value of Christian hospitality in society amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

Pandemi Covid -19 mengejutkan dunia global pada akhir tahun 2019. Penyebaran Corona Virus disease 2019 (Covid-19) yang sangat cepat mengakibatkan kekhawatiran di seluruh dunia termasuk Indonesia karena pada tanggal 19 Maret 2020 sudah ada 309 kasus positif yang terus bertambah. Kebijakan Social distancing/physical distancing digalangkan pemerintah untuk meminimalisir perkembangan Covid-19. Masyarakat Indonesia menerima anjuran tersebut tetapi ada juga beberapa reaksi seperti panic buying, persekusi terhadap tenaga kesehatan yang diperkirakan terjangkit Covid-19. Pemimpin tidak boleh kehilangan empati sikap hospitalitas kepemimpinan di setiap masa kehidupan terutama dalam situasi pandemi seperti saat ini. Kata hospitalitas sendiri dapat diartikan sebagai keramah-tamahan, hospitalitas adalah bahasa Latin yang berasal dari akar kata hospes yang berarti “tuan rumah” atau pun “orang asing”. Melalui kata hospes ditemukan kata hospital yang juga berarti “ruang tamu”, “penginapan” yang pastinya menyiaratkan keramah-tamahan serta sambutan hangat. Pemimpin dan kepemimpinan adalah dua hal yang berbeda. Pemimpin adalah orangnya, yaitu seseorang yang melakukan fungsi memimpin. Sementara kepemimpinan adalah suatu hubungan sosial di mana seseorang atau kelompok tertentu, yang tidak lain adalah pemimpin, dibiarkan memengaruhi orang lain ke arah perubahan untuk mencapai sasaran bersama.

After a heyday in the 1970s and 1980s, probability sampling became much less visible in archaeological literature as it came under assault from the post-processual critique and the widespread adoption of “full-coverage survey.” After 1990, published discussion of probability sampling rarely strayed from sample-size issues in analyses of artifacts along with plant and animal remains, and most textbooks and archaeological training limited sampling to regional survey and did little to equip new generations of archaeologists with this critical aspect of research design. A review of the last 20 years of archaeological literature indicates a need for deeper and broader archaeological training in sampling; more precise usage of terms such as “sample”; use of randomization as a control in experimental design; and more attention to cluster sampling, stratified sampling, and nonspatial sampling in both training and research.

Neurologists around the country and the world are rapidly transitioning from traditional in-person visits to remote neurologic care because of the corona virus disease 2019 pandemic. Given calls and mandates for social distancing, most clinics have shuttered or are only conducting urgent and emergent visits. As a result, many neurologists are turning to teleneurology with real-time remote video-based visits with patients, to provide ongoing care. Although telemedicine utilization and comfort has grown for many acute and ambulatory neurologic conditions in the past decade, remote visits and workflows remain foreign to many patients and neurologists. Here, we provide a practical framework for clinicians to orient themselves to the remote neurologic assessment, offering suggestions for clinician and patient preparation prior to the visit; recommendations to manage common challenges with remote neurologic care; modifications to the neurologic exam for remote performance, including subspecialty-specific considerations for a variety of neurologic conditions; and a discussion of the key limitations of remote visits. These recommendations are intended to serve as a guide for immediate implementation as neurologists transition to remote care. These will be relevant not only for practice today, but also for the likely sustained expansion of teleneurology following the pandemic.
