Dr. Manpreet Kaur, Akasha Sandhu
The disruptions created by COVID-19 has lasting implications on the countries across the world. Apart from impacting key sectors of the economy, COVID has significantly affected the financial sector causing volatility and changes in asset valuation. There is no doubt that mutual funds still remain the popular mode of investment during COVID-19 followed by equities. However, shrinking fees, reducing profit margins and ever-changing investors preferences along with the pandemic imposed new set of challenges for the fund managers. Using data envelopment analysis, this paper examines the efficiency of open-ended equity funds and select debt schemes during COVID-19. The analysis reveals that during COVID, equity schemes pertaining to large and multi-cap segment were efficient. But the efficiency of mid and small cap equity schemes was affected due to the high expenses' ratio and volatility. Interestingly, all open-ended debt schemes were efficient during COVID with mean efficiency score more than equity schemes. As no single fund house is found to be efficient in all the segments, the investor can pick efficient schemes to construct optimum portfolio of mutual funds

Acknowledging the Effect of "Affect" in Healthcare: Empirical Investigation of Emotional Labor Practices of Physicians During the COVID-19 Pandemic
SAMAN JAVED; DR NOSHABA BATOOL
Relevance of Affect or Emotions is paramount in front-line jobs. Especially during times like these with the global spread of COVID-19, both mental and physical well-being of healthcare workers are at stake. Having to face hardships of treatment of infected patients, exhausted resources and fear of infection, doctors and paramedical staff need resolute and emotional composure more than ever. Our research aimed to understand the sequential effect of doctors' emotional job demands on their emotional labor practices at work, emotional exhaustion and well-being. With data gathered from 332 doctors serving in 11 tertiary hospitals across Pakistan, we found that emotional job demands can lower doctors' subjective, psychological and physical well-being, if they opt to use surface acting at work. However, showing genuine and natural emotions at workplace helps beat emotional exhaustion, thereby increasing the well-being levels. The study contributes to theory and practice by providing a detailed literary examination of emotions in healthcare context and suggesting ways to combat the adversities associated with the affective part of healthcare profession.

Mohd Izhar Ariff Mohd Kashim, Mohd Nasran Mohamad , Mohd Hafiz Safiai, Mohd Helmy Mokhtar,Lenny Suryani Safri5&Nur Asmadayana Hasim
The five-time prayer is the essence of religion that must be performed daily. The impetus of
prayer to Muslims is to assure that human relationship with God is always close and hinders
one from performing sinful and evil acts. This fard (obligatory) prayer will be more
meaningful if performed in the congregation because of its abundant rewards instead of
individual prayers. Besides, congregational prayer can educate people to become human
beings sensitive to the sense of life as servants and absolutely in line with Maqasid Syariah's
requirements. Nevertheless, currently, the whole world is hit by COVID-19 pandemic. Thus,
almost all Islamic countries' governments must administer proactive steps by introducing
Movement Control Orders (PKP) to adjourn all religious activities, including mosque and
surau activities. This research aimed to analyse the need for congregational prayer in the
mosque or at home.Accordingly, it explained the rational arguments of the adjournment of all
worship houses' activities during the pandemic. This study adopted a descriptive qualitative
method of literature review and document analysis. The outcomes revealed that although the
pandemic of the COVID-19 epidemic affects Islamic practices, its teachings persists through
mosques or surausin the form of a call to prayer every prayer time. Each state's muftis must

Evaluation of a Set of Measures to Stimulate the Country's Economy After the Exposure to the COVID-19 Virus: Lithuanian case
Gintare Giriuniene, Lukas Giriunas
In the wake of the economic changes brought about by the global COVID-19 pandemic, both states and
organizations unifying them, have taken urgent action to mitigate the socio-economic impact and support
economic recovery. Nevertheless, not all designed and implemented emergency measures have achieved the
desired results. The purpose of the research is therefore to examine the effectiveness of these measures. Due to
the limited amount of data, time period, and other conditions, only Pearson and Spearman correlation analysis
was used to achieve the goal. Summarizing the results of the study, it can be stated that the biggest influence on
the country's economy in the short term was the choice of measures to stimulate the country's economy after
COVID-19 virus, rather than the restriction of movement or the number of COVID-19 patients. However, the
wage subsidy used by most countries in the world has been identified as the best means of stabilizing the
economy in the short term.

This research is one of the most effective studies in Vietnam
using observed variables including tourism, agriculture, foreign direct
investment, energy consumption and economic development in the period
1990-2019. This work affirms the role of attracting foreign investment in
Vietnam in the past 20 years, from which we predict the same results in the
future. The research method used ARDL (Autoregressive Distributed
Lag)model, Bound Test, ECM model and Granger causality to explore the
short-run, long-run and causal relationships between them. The results
show that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) positively affects economic
development while energy consumption is in the opposite direction, energy
consumption exists a positive relationship to agricultural development
whereas tourism development exists a negative impact in terms of drought.
In addition, one-way causal relations are found that FDI promotes energy
consumption, economic development leads to increased energy
consumption and the promotion of tourism by energy consumption.
Thereby, we have given a number of solutions to increase attracting foreign
investment. In addition, we have proposed to open directions for improving
renewable capacity such as finding modern renewable energy sources for
agriculture and tourism development. Besides, we also show that the
impact of the Covid-19 pandemic globally, which has been start in progress
since 2019 until now.

Palak Lohia
In the first MPC meeting held on 27.03.20, Finance Minister of India, Nirmala Sitharaman and the Governor of RBI, Shaktikanta Das announced a moratorium of three months on all loans and credit card instalments due between 1st March and 31st May initially, which was later extended to 31st August, in order to provide relief to the borrowers in the economy, in the current scenario of losses. Loans being on moratorium are sup-posed to have zero impact on the credit history of the borrower concerned, which means a no default situa-tion.
Now, banking sector, which is the backbone of any economy, will have to carry the burden of this year for many more years to come. In this paper, it has been attempted to study the impact of the decision of putting the loans on moratorium on the banking industry of India, adding to the ever existing issue of high NPAs.

Mr. Gaurav Ajmera; Dr. Babita Jha; Dr Sudhi Sharma
The outbreak of Coronavirus has battered the Indian economy and IMF has projected that the
growth rate of India will contract by 4.5 percent in this fiscal year. The market sentiments over
the last few months have gone down. Financial markets are adversely affected by this pandemic
and the mutual fund industry is no more exception. The mutual fund industry is facing high
volatility due to this turmoil. This paper, therefore, aims to study empirically the impact of
COVID -19 on diverse aspects of different schemes of mutual funds. The paper is divided into
two parts i.e. the first part has analyzed mutual fund schemes from the perspective of several
folios, redemption/repurchase, and cash flows. The second part of the paper empirically drives
the impact of COVID-19 on various schemes of mutual funds by applying econometric dummy
variable regressions. The study concluded that COVID-19 has largely impacted the large-cap
schemes rather than mid and small-cap schemes. Further, funds i.e. DSP Midcap fund, Axis
Small-Cap, and Kotak Small-Cap funds had shown the positive impact of the crisis on the Net
Asset Values (NAVs) of the funds. Therefore, the investors long in other schemes could take a
short position in these schemes to get a considerable hedge against probable losses.

K.W.S.N. Kumari, G.J.M.S.R. Jayasinghe
Recently, a major education crisis occurred around the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, Sri Lanka too, resorted to shutting down its universities. This created a need to find alternative learning methods to carry out educational activities during a challenging period. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the readiness of undergraduates for blended learning. The structured questionnaire was shared online to collect the necessary data. The sample of 549 undergraduates representing all universities was selected for the study by applying the convenient sampling method. The student's readiness was assessed using 28 questions. All of them had at least a smartphone to connect to the internet, but 48% of them had moderate speed internet connections. Exploratory factor analysis indicated that four factors are significant for readiness in learners' characteristics such as communication, interaction and study habits, technological skills, availability of resources, and their belief, in the blended learning method. Undergraduates' overall readiness percentage scores in four indicators were above 50% indicating a moderate amount of readiness in each area. According to the two-sample proportions test, among four areas, only readiness in resources and infrastructure was significantly different across gender. The majority of undergraduates preferred blended learning during the COVID-19. Although the government offers free internet service for educational websites, they should facilitate internet services to all areas in the country. Further, authorities in higher education would enhance students' awareness and skills on web-based learning.Additionally, undergraduates should be encouragedto adapt to blended learning during this type of challenging periods.

The Impact of COVID-19 on the Electronic Commerce Users Behavior
Tamara Adel Al-maaitah; Tha'er Majali; Malek Alsoud; Dirar AbdelAziz Al-maaitah
The global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has created an incredibly difficult business climate. Businesses are presented with many new challenges as international borders close, brick-and-mortar businesses shut their doors, and people are told to isolate at home. Many companies face temporary or even permanent closure, with staff facing months of financial uncertainty and concerns. Consumer behavior has been forced to immediately change on a massive scale. People in isolation or under lockdown cannot perform their usual routines, because local shops have been forced to close their doors for safety reasons. Concerns about the availability of goods have encouraged panic buying of items in bulk. Financial uncertainty and the prospect of a severe and long-term recession make for a stark backdrop, which has led to an impact on consumer outlook, perceptions, and behaviors.
Around the world, businesses that continue to operate seek the best ways to cope with the prevailing trading conditions and the best ways to adapt their strategies. However, no definite recommendation can be given, because the COVID-19 pandemic is unprecedented. Hence, circumstances are changing fluidly on a daily basis. Defining a strategy now is difficult due to limited evidence or precedent to base assumptions on. Possible business and economic outcomes could be gauged by looking at data from countries that first suffered from the effects of COVID-19. Despite no guarantee that other countries will follow the same trajectory, an analysis of these countries can reveal useful patterns and insights.
This research attempts to explore the impacts of the extent of COVID-19 on the e-commerce firms in Saudi Arabia, where the five largest e-commerce firms in the Saudi Arabia were chosen in terms of incomes and market value, This research tests that e-commerce raised due to coronavirus.

Nidhi Sharma; Dr. Fakira Mohan Nahak
Everything can be regained except the human body. Once it is lost, it can not be
obtained. It clearly shows the importance of health. So health is an important component
for the development of the society. 'Health for All' is one of the major objectives of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030. But in the year 2020 health is adversely
effected by COVID-19. As a result major health issues are pushed to back seat and it
became secondory for administration, for governments as well as for society too. Punjab is
also facing major health issues like drug addiction, cancer, tuberoculosis and other daily
pertaining health issues. Most of these issues are ignored because of COVID-19. This
pandemic compelled all governments and health workers to focus on COVID management.
This sitution not only effecing the masses general health, but also affects psychologically
and socially. It has affected the peoples' behaviour and social dimensions also. The major
objectives of this study to know about role of media during COVID-19 and setting the
health agenda for masses and secondly trying to set up inter relationship between health
and communication. Researcherss have interviewed different health workers to analyse
their mind set about health and related issues. Also analysied government running
COVID-19 related schemes as secondary data. The study concludes that during COVID-19
health communication by health workers was completely focused on pandemic awarness
and precautions, but all other health issues are not on priority. Surprisingly majority of
grass root health workers are not aware of SDGs and health related targets. They are using
traditional along with digital mediums of communication. In one line it can be concluded
that, this year life survival is important rather than health agenda for all.

The source of origination and transmission are important to determine and understand the virus and to discover new preventive strategies. Coronavirus being a highly mutable virus made it difficult for the discovery of the vaccine. Most of the people infected experience mild to moderate respiratory illness. Other common symptoms include fever, cough, and myalgia or fatigue. Some patients may have a headache or hemoptysis and can be relatively asymptomatic. The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be aware of the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes, and how it transmits. The government has taken various health measures against the COVID19 outbreak like practising respiratory etiquette, quarantining and social distancing, practising 1m apart, use of personal protective equipment, hand hygiene, water sanitation, and hygiene, waste management, surface infection, hospital and home isolation, mental health management, immunization and ban on smoking and travel restrictions. The government thus implemented these measures and it is the role of every citizen to follow these measures and pave the way for a better living.

RAJASRI PRADEEP; DR.A.K ANJALI; DR MURALIDHARAN
The Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic is very worrying for global public health. This pandemic fallout highlights how the failure in the urban ruling caused a social impact of threats facing the world. Despite all the threats, the well to do urban settlements manage to get through the difficulties with public benefits, education, and all other necessities of life and despite this progress seen in humanity, slum dwellers lack even the most basic public services i.e access to clean water and sanitation. Such unsanitary conditions due to failure of extension of cleaning sewage in clustered slum areas like in Chennai, the COVID-19 will take a toll and lead to massive community spread. The congestion has currently led to an easy spread and if not controlled by the people themselves with precautionary measures, the disease rate may doubly rise. It is therefore very much necessary to spread awareness regarding the massive pandemic COVID -19 to slums in Chennai as the control of the spread becomes impossible without each and everyone's support.

Covid-19 Lockdown and Its Impact on Air Pollution
A.SANKARI NIVEDITHA; DR.BALAJI GANESH S,MDS; LAKSHMINARAYANAN ARIVARASU
Air pollution is one of the major problems of recent decades which has a serious toxicological impact on human health and the environment. Air pollution is defined as all destructive effects of any sources which contribute to the pollution of the atmosphere or deterioration of the ecosystem. Air pollution is caused by both human interventions and/or natural phenomena. Air pollution is a mixture of solid particles and gases in the air. It is a type of environmental pollution that affects the air and is usually caused by smoke or other harmful gases. The sources of pollution vary from small units of cigarettes and natural sources such as volcanic activities to large volume of emission from motor engines of automobiles and industrial activities. During this lockdown period, there was a dramatic decrease in air pollution in different parts of the world. This is primarily due to lockdown of industrial establishments. The impact of human civilization during the pandemic provides evidentiary data. There was significant improvement in global air pollution.
The aim of this review is to understand the correlation between COVID-19 lockdown and its impact on air pollution.


On 30 June, the day after the chief Apostles Peter and Paul, the Holy Orthodox Church celebrates the synaxis (gathering) of the 12 apostles. Since the Apostle Matthew is my patron saint, this day is one of my name's days (the primary being the feast of his martyrdom, 16 November).
Adrian and I chanted in the choir at Orthros and Liturgy at St. Irene. We arrived in the middle of Orthros and were welcomed to sing.
After Liturgy, we gathered in the priest's office for coffee. We spent a few hours talking to two cantors, Taso Stellas (a professional Opera singer and a computer programmer) and Demetrios Gallos (an actor in television dramas). We mostly discussed cultural differences between America and Greece.
Greeks have a strong national identity. They are a tribe: sharing the same ancestry, faith, language, history, culture, music, etc. Every Greek knows which village his grandmother is from. The faith and language helped preserve their national identity during centuries of Turkish slavery.
Americans on the other hand have no such bond, other than we live in the same place, and most Americans speak English. There is no common bond to unite Americans, as this land is a melting pot. The cultures, history, and language of our ancestors were lost, while Protestants brought their multitude of fractured sects.
Our friends were shocked that we did not know offhand the villages in Germany and England where our ancestors were from.
Another shock to both parties is that of income.
"How much do you make in America? While not particularly offended, and thought they asked out of curiosity to compare cost of living, I did explain how this is quite a private matter. However, in Greece, ones income is common conversation.
"I got a new job."
"That's great! How much will you make?"
"Congratulations! How big of a raise?"
Demetrios' jaw hit the floor when he learned that Adrian and I have been friends for 10 years and did not know what the other earned. Or that we did not know our parents' salaries. Or that Adrian and his girlfriend do not know each other's salaries. Or that some American married couples do not see each others' check stubs.
After talking for a couple hours, noon was approaching (I love the earlier starting times for liturgies in Greece). We walked down the street from St. Irene's to the Fish Spa. I was meeting with Fotis Dionysopoulos to get a scale to weigh our luggage. I also lost a shirt from the clothesline and was wondering if it was possible to retrieve it, or if it belonged to the ages.
Fotis warmly greeted us at the Fish Spa and sat down with us in his Zen garden outside.
We shared our experience on Mount Athos. He was disappointed that we only spent one day. In 1999, he spent a week there and walking from monastery to monastery. After he was sufficiently convinced that we were having a great time, he came with us to retrieve the shirt. First, we got a key from the book peddler on the street below the apartment. We ascended a flight of stairs to a floor not accessible by elevator. We opened a door, and I climbed through a window to the tiny courtyard where my shirt was.
In the afternoon, Adrian and I went to the Olympeion, or the Temple of Zeus.
30 June is not only the feast of the 12 apostles, but also the commemoration of the beheading of the martyr Michael Baknanas. St. Michael was a gardener in Athens.
When he was 18 years old, Turks captured him, falsely accused him, tried to force him to convert to Islam and finally killed him. He was lead to the Temple of Zeus (which was being used as a mosque at that time). Along the way, he asked forgiveness from all Christians he met. At the temple, the executioneer hit his neck with the blunt side of the sword to scare and to give him one last chance to convert. St. Michael's last words were, "Strike for the Faith!" He was beheaded on 9 July 1771. The church remembers him on 30 June each year. On the pillar where he was beheaded, faithful Christians left this inscription: "1771 Ιουλίου 9 απεκεφαλίσθη ο Πακνανάς Μιχάλης" (July 9th 1771 Michael Paknanas was beheaded). The illumined pillar (the furthest right) has the inscription which was clearly visible in person, but difficult to photograph. St. Michael is a patron saint to gardeners, dieticians, and nutritionists.
I heard rumors that a liturgy is celebrated there each year on 30 June, but could not nail down any specifics, so Adrian and I went to St. Irene in the morning. Nevertheless, it was moving to visit this holy site on his feast, just as it was to be on the Areopagus for the feast of the Apostle Paul.
