Across the globe, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the lives of people. The mental health of the students of higher educational institutions (HEIs) was worst hit by the coronavirus' multiple waves and further induced by the great lockdown. Among the students, the impact of COVID-19 depends on various vulnerability factors such as current age, educational status, low economic status, pre-existing mental health problems, and fear of infection. The systematic search was conducted on PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and other databases from January 2020 to September 2022. A total of 80 articles were included in the review based on the eligibility criteria. High prevalence rates of anxiety (3.82–87.7%), depression (21.2–82.4%), and stress (11–81.2%) were reported by the HEI students during the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States of America, Ethiopia, Egypt, Greece, Kosovo, Jordan, China, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, and India. A variety of risk factors were also associated with psychological distress such as female gender, young age group of 18–19 years, low socio-economic status, academic delays, history of medical/psychiatric illness, fear of infection, and excessive exposure to COVID-19-related news via social media. The psychological impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of HEI students is higher in magnitude. The review highlights the mental health issues of HEI students and also presents interventions and strategies to help HEI students at various levels.

The article shows that two constitutional principles govern the election of justices and the composition of the 16 German state constitutional courts: democracy and the separation of powers. The recruitment of candidates, the vote on nominees in state parliaments, and the composition of benches of the courts in question support this assumption. There is no evidence indicating that a partisan takeover of German state constitutional courts has taken place. In addition, the majorities required for an appointment of justices of state constitutional courts seem less crucial than is often assumed.

Comparison of the development of alien rights in the US, Germany, & the EU show that these liberal regimes responded to postwar immigration in different ways. The US has embraced immigration as a component of its identity, while Germany has moved to apply immigration rights to certain groups of immigrants. EU immigration rights have to be moderated according to its member states, eg, Germany. Courts & domestic legal orders have played a central role in the development of alien rights in these three regimes. When political & social conflict surrounding immigration is low, the courts can be more progressive on alien rights. Postnationalist concepts of universal human rights are discussed; universal human rights apparently apply only to asylum, since liberal-democratic states have had difficulty integrating alien rights & citizenship. The trend is toward a general liberalization of nationality law. 53 References. M. Pflum

A letter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Foreign service employees often experience difficult environmental and living conditions while assigned to U.S. embassies and consulates that are designated as "hardship posts." These conditions include inadequate medical facilities, few opportunities for spousal employment, poor schools, high levels of crime, and severe climate. Because the State Department is understaffed, both in terms of the number and types of employees, it is difficult to ensure that it has the right people in the right place at the right time. The impact of these staffing shortfalls is felt most strongly at hardship posts, some of which are of strategic importance to the United States. As a result, diplomatic programs and management controls at hardship posts could be vulnerable and the posts' ability to carry out U.S. foreign policy objectives effectively could be weakened. State's assignment system is not effectively meeting the staffing needs of hardship posts. Although American Foreign Service employees are obligated to serve anywhere in the world, State rarely directs employees to serve in locations for which they have not shown interest by bidding on a position. Because few employees bid on these positions, State has difficulty filling them."

This study investigates the impact of using a techno-organic education paradigm in primary reading and writing teaching on students' academic progress and attitudes, particularly using Makey Makey kit applications, and solicits feedback from educators and students. The quantitative part of the research sample comprises of first-grade kids from a rural school in the Ceylanpnar district of Anlurfa. The quantitative dimension research group consists of 35 kids identified by the group matching approach. In contrast, the qualitative dimension study group comprises the experimental group of students, their parents, and classroom teachers. While the experimental group used the Makey Makey kit to instruct, the control group proceeded with the present curriculum.
One of the mixed-method designs employed in the study was the explanatory sequential mixed method design. In the quantitative component of the research, a quasi-experimental design was utilized, and in the qualitative dimension, a phenomenology design was used. According to the data analysis findings for the quantitative component of the study, a sta­tistically significant difference in the accomplishment tests of the experimental and control groups was discovered in favor of the experimental group. According to the results, stu­dents' attitudes toward the techno-organic education paradigm and the Makey Makey kit were favorable, drawing students' interest and enhancing their enthusiasm to study.

Abstract: This work addresses the question of the supervision of children in family breakdown in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Based on recent ethnographic research, this article explores young people's opportunities of formal and informal democracy learning and expressions of such learning in the highly market-influenced Swedish upper secondary education. With its ambitious democracy-fostering goals and far-reaching marketisation, Swedish education constitutes an interesting case in this respect. The analysis indicates that 'voting with the feet' emerges as an important way of exerting student influence. At the same time, young people's voice is surprisingly neglected in classroom practice. Increased focus on performance and goal attainment tends to overshadow less 'rewarding' aspects of the curriculum, such as democracy teaching and learning, both from the side of teachers and students. Students are also increasingly expected to act as school representatives and to avoid giving negative impressions of their school.
