摘要： Indonesia is a country that has been greatly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. In the almost three years that the pandemic has been going on, the spread of Covid-19 has penetrated almost all regions of Indonesia. One of the causes of the rapid spread of Covid-19 confirmed cases in Indonesia is the existence of domestic flights between regions within the archipelago. This research is aimed to identify patterns of Covid-19 transmission cases between provinces in Indonesia using spatio-temporal clustering. The method used a generalized lasso approach based on flight connections and proximity between provinces. The results suggested that clustering based on flight connections between provinces obtained more reasonable results, namely that there were three clusters of provinces formed with different patterns of spread of Covid-19 cases over time.

摘要： The COVID-19 pandemic has struck the construction industry gravely. Accordingly, numerous studies reported the impact of COVID-19 on various aspects of the construction industry and projects. However, there exists no framework that can guide the evaluation of holistic impact of COVID-19 on a construction project specifically for developing countries. To fulfill this knowledge gap, this study conducted state-of-the-art review of recent related journal articles from developing countries and developed an eight-dimensional assessment framework to assess the impact of COVID-19 on construction projects. These eight dimensions include: (1) on-site safety measures, (2) productivity, (3) supply chain management, (4) transportation, (5) labor issues, (6) time and cost performances, (7) contractual implications, and (8) social impact. Additionally, to demonstrate the usefulness of the framework, the study utilized the framework to assess four projects in three developing countries: Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Finally, the study presented the best practices to mitigate the impacts of any future wave of COVID-19 on construction projects. The developed framework holds potential applications ranging from policy planning to construction operations under COVID-19 and similar pandemics. It can be implemented to assess the impacts of COVID-19 on the construction industry, evaluating project performance across eight dimensions. Moreover, it aids in the development of COVID-19 impact management actions to control project performance. Additionally, the framework assists in building organizational resilience for managing construction projects under the challenges posed by COVID-19 or similar pandemic scenarios.

摘要： This paper highlights the significant impact of the pandemic on the social sector. To curb infection spread, social and economic activities were limited, challenging human development. The study utilized an ecological design to analyze the situation of the social sector in Central Visayas, Philippines. Data from government and international organizations revealed strengths and vulnerabilities in these areas. Notably, disparities in enrollment and graduation rates before and during the pandemic indicate issues in retaining students. Poor performance, low cohort survival, and declining literacy rates suggest future societal challenges with less competent individuals. Additionally, increasing population density, teenage pregnancy, depression, and suicide rates compromise social welfare. The region requires improved access to quality education, responsive social safety nets, and strengthened physical and mental health programs to enhance human and social development and future-proof the sector.
