Standing Question

Several important events have marked the seventh year in the history of the Permanent Court of International Justice. The court was in session at The Hague from February 6, 1928, to April 26, 1928 (thirteenth session); from June 15, 1928, to September 13, 1928 (fourteenth session); and from November 12, 1928, to November 21, 1928 (fifteenth session). It handed down two advisory opinions (Nos. 15 and 16) and two judgments (Nos. 12 and 13), and several important orders. It lost the services of two eminent judges through the resignation of Judge John Bassett Moore and the death of Judge André Weiss. A settlement was reached with the Netherlands Government of the long-standing question as to the privileges and immunities of the judges and registry officials; and, what is perhaps more important for the court’s future, the signatories of the court’s protocol of signature began the consideration of changes in the court’s statute in the light of seven years’ experience. The seventh year marks progress in the establishment of the court’s position as the chief agency in the world for the international administration of justice, as it marks also changes which will affect the future of the court.

End Of The World

ABSTRACT: At the end of 2001 an unknown apocalyptic movement, Efraim, became hot news in the Netherlands. It was reported that the members expected the end of the world and the coming of the Messiah before 2002, and had changed their lives dramatically. These Field Notes report on this new group. The article first discusses what happened and the role the media played. Second, the article provides a description of the movement, including a portrait of the leader and his teachings about the end of the world, i.e., the rapture of the Bride (the faithful), the predictions on what will happen in the future, ideas concerning Elijah and the twelve tribes (““geo-theology””) and the Bride of Christ. Third, the reactions of the leader, when the rapture of the Bride did not take place, are examined. Finally some conclusions are given. It can be seen that Efraim started as a Pentecostal group, but developed into an independent Christian movement, which has a new content, due to the revelations the leader receives.

E-health involves the use of information and communications technologies to improve health in general and the healthcare system in particular (Alvarez, 2002; Chau & Hu, 2004; Roger & Pendharkar, 2000). Healthcare, one of the largest industries in the world, suffers from some inefficiencies and inequities in both service provision and quality. Some of these problems are due to the poor management of the information flows (Kirsch, 2002). In this respect, there are business opportunities for e-health. But to understand what the future holds for e-health, we need to find a precise definition of the concept and identify the possible sources of business. This article is structured as follows. The second section, the background, defines the concept of e-health. The third section outlines some of the business opportunities in the area of e-health based on the communications platform that is the Internet, and discusses some practical guidelines for e-health businesses to create value. The fourth section discusses the low level of adoption of e-health at present, as well as the future trends, in which e-health will presumably grow. e-health is also expected to be used to reduce the disparities in the population in access to healthcare, and for the treatment of the chronically ill. The fifth section is dedicated to the final conclusions.

Over Time

In this book we have examined the current and future capabilities of the tourism, hospitality and events industry by exploring the opportunities available to shape the future through rebuilding, disrupting and developing greater resilience in the tourism industry. We set out in writing the book in times when there was economic prosperity and stability, however this changed all too quickly with the advent of Covid-19. Over the past months the developments across the world have resulted in unprecedented change and disruption, particularly to the travel, hospitality and events sectors. Yet we firmly believe the tourism industry will survive, however we acknowledge that it will take some time to rebuild traveller and consumer trust and there will be an indelible impact on business operators and the industry overall. As we have emphasised throughout the book, it becomes more important than ever to evaluate the future realising that change is inevitable and that there will be peaks and troughs within industries that have to be managed over time. Three features of futures studies set the tone of this book. First, a systems view of the industry was adopted allowing for a holistic understanding of the scale of industry, and the important inter-relationships existing between stakeholders likely to shape future scenarios. Second, the potential and probable future trends based on an analysis of the socio-cultural technological, economic, environmental, political and international dimensions were examined. Finally, a medium to long-term view of the future potential and opportunities available to the tourism industry was considered.

Indonesia is no obvious entity. The present borders of the largest archipelago in the world are the result of its colonial past; the only deviation from the borders of the former Netherlands Indies is the eastern part of the island Timor, which was annexed shortly after the departure of the Portugese in 1975. Thirty years earlier, following the declaration of independence of 17 August 1945, the young Republic of Indonesia had unambiguously proclaimed its ambition: the formation of a unitary state of Indonesia, encompassing all the former Asian territories of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Several times separatist movements in different regions ran up against the barrier of the unitary state doctrine.

Background: COVID-19 is a pandemic, which covered to all over the world and started the end of 2019. COVID-19 spreading rapidly from person to person and from one environment to another environment. In the current situation the entire world is passing through a very critical situation and medical services almost collapse due to the span of COVID-19. The virus is directly threatening to human being's life and attack to their nervous system, collapse lungs, breathing problems and damage other parts of the body system. The researcher build a predictive model using a Gaussian approach to find out the current status of COVID-19 and its future prediction. This predictive model is very helpful for countries and before timely they can manage their health related services, make a change in their decision making policy to stop COVID-19 spreading. Method: in this research paper the researcher builds a predicting model using real time analytics to measure the intensity of spreading COVID-19 in major concern countries. The main objective of this research article to predict the rate of spreading COVID-19 cases, visualize, and represent the future trends of COVID-19 cases. For the predictive analysis the researcher used the Gaussian Prediction model, time series analysis, exploratory data analysis, and K-means clustering. The researcher used the parameters such as rate of spreading, slow down speed, a sudden change in rate, prediction of the number of cases and differences in mortality rate. The results: The researcher discussed the weekly, monthly rate of spreading COVID-19 cases and predicted how it covered the world entire populations. The predictive model is very helpful to the countries where a number of cases are rapidly spreading and showing the future trends whether it is decreasing or increasing ratio. The countries can manage their health related services and other possible resources to stop the COVID-19 cases in their countries. If the prediction is unknown that situation is horrible for the entire world. Conclusion: Finally the researcher concluded that the predictive model of COVID-19 cases has significant impact to all over countries to show the future spreading trends, the accuracy level of this predictive model is 92% which is verified by using Gaussian approach. In some cases prediction might be unfavorable to handle the health care industries that are only %8 chances. The researcher giving the assurance the developed predictive model is more reliable and efficient to predict the COVID-19 case and its future trends, so the countries and their health related unit can manage the health related services in rapid manner.
