Education has always been considered as the linchpin for a country's economic and social development. The dropout rate in schools especially in third-world countries has always been a problematic issue and the situation has further been worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study primarily aims at studying the factors affecting the school dropout rate during pandemic. Lockdown is the first step that any country starts to adopt for the safety of its general public. This severely affects the masses' financial conditions, especially for the parents of students at risk, as the dropout rate increases with financial pressures. The slogan "stay home stay safe" has further aggravated the fear of the parents to send their children out and attend schools. The data for the study was collected from twenty public and private schools of two divisions, including seven districts of the province of Punjab, Pakistan, using interviews of policymakers, parents of dropouts, teachers, and students. The study is corollary to several issues already highlighted in various other articles to transpire the details of drop-out rates in developing countries in general and Pakistan in particular. The study revealed financial conditions, lockdown effects, mode of learning, government policies, fear of death, the psyche of the parents, socio-cultural effects, the role of teachers and administrators, most affected level, contributory factors were amongst the major factors. Finally, the study will analyze the effects of dropout and will help suggest measures to control the dropout rate in Pakistan in particular and third world countries in general.

This paper is concerned with the question of how COVID-19 impacts the medical delivery system in a rural community. It presents findings from interviews of medical professionals participating in an isolated rural community and public health officials that coordinate preparedness planning. This paper reviews barriers of access to healthcare in an already constricted system. Then looks at the implications of COVID-19 as an additional strain. Interviews of professionals will survey preparedness, regulatory impacts, repercussions to the business model, impact on service capacity, and opportunities for improvement. Interested parties would include patient advocates, patients, healthcare workers, politicians, and employers.

Covid-19 has subsequently given rise to a pandemic in early 2020. This virus is new and highly contagious; unfortunately, there is no specific medication to treat the virus. Thus, it has become an obligation for all countries in the world to take drastic measures to protect and ensure safety of their citizens. Moreover, technology has played an important role to help the government to implement measures and customize services effectively to contain the virus. Some of these measures include artificial intelligence or "AI", Internet of things, "IoT" and Clouds. Countries adopting the smart cities concept were predominately prepared with a technology platform, thus they were effective to react promptly and spontaneously to the threat. This paper discusses success stories of four countries from the Australia-Asia region which up to now have successfully contained the virus. From the literature review analysis, besides technology, other factors have contributed to fight the pandemic battle. These factors are core factors in the process of combating the virus and are related to managerial leadership, leadership, accountability, collaboration, and effective communication. These factors play an important role along with smart cities technologies in the battle to fight against Covid-19.

Referral to the CJEU for the pronouncement of preliminary rulings regarding the interpretation of European Union law cannot have a purely theoretical purpose (e.g. the Court Ordinance of October 7, 2013 in case C-82/13) but a necessarily practical one, such as to allow the national court to resolve the specific dispute with which it is vested. Therefore, knowledge of the judicial decisions pronounced by the national courts after receiving the answer to the preliminary question from the CJEU is very important to evaluate the implications of the CJEU jurisprudence in the law of the member states and the effectiveness of the dialogue between it and the national courts. Next, the decisions of the courts in Romania are presented in some cases in which the CJEU was referred with preliminary questions, respectively those that were resolved in the cases registered on its roll with no. C-62/19, C 354/18 and C 644/19.

Za vsako krizo, vključujoč zdravstveno, stoji preplet socialnih, ekonomskih, političnih in etičnih tokov upravljanja življenja (governmentality); naloga kritičnega družboslovja in humanistike je odgovoriti na krizo pandemije s predlogi za alternativne modele upravljanja z javnim dobrim. V omejenem obsegu tega sklopa je ambicija lahko le omejena. V pričujočem tematskem bloku o pandemiji COVID-19 smo zbrali družboslovno-humanistične vpoglede v družbeno-kulturne vidike pandemije in t. i. »korona krize«. Bogat nabor člankov tako razmišlja o pandemiji onkraj medicinsko-tehnicističnih premislekov, ko na eni strani ponuja filozofsko-sociološko navdihnjene razprave o družbenih in političnih implikacijah pandemije, na drugi strani pa postreže s konkretnimi sociološko-komunikološkimi empiričnimi študijami o življenju s pandemijo v slovenski družbi. Tematski blok, razdeljen na tri dele, pa je v zadnjem delu obogaten še z dvema kulturološkima premišljevanjema o pomenu pandemije za kulturni prostor, ki je pod njenim vplivom doživel številne preobrazbe.
