Background:

Globally, coronavirus 2019 pandemic has led to severe illnesses, loss of lives, and social disruption in Nigeria. Ekiti State government introduced different strategies, protocols, and standard operating procedures in the control of the pandemic. This study assessed the perception of primary healthcare workers (HCWs) to the measures introduced to combat the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Ekiti State, Nigeria.

Methods:

This study was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted between August and September 2020 among primary HCWs in Ekiti State. A Google survey tool was used to create an online questionnaire which was administered to respondents on social media platform. Analysis was done using STATA SE 12. Descriptive and bivariate analysis were conducted with a level of significance set at P < 0.05.

Results:

The mean ± standard deviation age of the respondents was 44.2 ± 6.7 years. Almost all (99.4%) of respondents had heard of COVID-19 pandemic while less than three-quarter (67.7%) had been trained on COVID-19. About half (54.6%) and (50.0%), respectively had good knowledge and perception of COVID-19, while three-quarter (75%) had good practice. About half (50.4%) had good perception about government's response toward COVID-19 prevention and protocols. Social and news media and family and friends were significantly associated with respondents' perception toward government' response (P = 0.000; 0.006 and 0.011) respectively. Similarly, the level of perception and practice of respondents were found to be statistically significant with respondent's perception of government response to COVID-19 (P = 0.001 and 0.040) respectively.

Conclusion:

Only about half of the respondents had good knowledge of COVID-19 and positive perception toward government's response to COVID-19 pandemic. Intensification of government's efforts toward the pandemic control in Nigeria is recommended.

Published: March 2022

Introducción. Un año después del inicio del estado de alarma en España se ha realizado un estudio para comprobar cuál es la situación de las noticias falsas. Metodología. Se ha realizado análisis de contenido de todas las verificaciones realizadas por las plataformas de fact checking Maldito Bulo y Newtral durante el mes del aniversario (14 de marzo a 14 de abril de 2021). En total, se han analizado 255 fact checks. Resultados. Son las noticias falsas sobre el debate político, al margen de la pandemia, las que más se están difundiendo. Los contenidos relacionados con la crisis sanitaria más difundidos son los vinculados con las vacunas y el proceso de vacunación. Casi una cuarta parte de los bulos tiene como protagonista al Gobierno de España, a gobiernos autonómicos y a otras instituciones, siendo el Ejecutivo español del que más se habla. Por el contrario, la mitad de las informaciones falsas detectadas han sido creadas por personas que no son conocidas socialmente o por personas cuya identidad se desconoce, también por los medios de comunicación y partidos de la oposición. Conclusiones y Discusión. Encontramos que las noticias falsas sobre la COVID-19 suponen un año más tarde poco más de una cuarta parte de todos los bulos existentes, lo que supone un claro descenso en comparación con los primeros meses de pandemia. Las noticias falsas continúan siendo difundidas especialmente por Twitter y WhatsApp.

Published: March 2022

Introducción: Las redes sociales son reconocidas por el impacto en las decisiones de los usuarios, y han sido estudiadas para determinar su incidencia en el ámbito político. Metodología: La presente investigación analiza la campaña electoral de los candidatos a presidentes de Ecuador, en el año 2021, a partir de tres objetivos: analizar la comunicación 2.0 para determinar en qué medida los candidatos establecen una relación interactiva con los electores en Facebook; analizar los elementos lingüísticos y las emociones en las publicaciones para identificar el tipo de discurso político que emplean; y determinar la agenda política digital y la oferta de campaña en las publicaciones realizadas por los presidenciables. Para alcanzar estos objetivos se implementó una metodología mixta. La investigación se desarrolló en dos etapas. En la primera etapa se aplicó el Modelo de evaluación de la comunicación 2.0 en las redes sociales, que desarrolla un análisis cualitativo, de igual forma se analizó y cuantificó somáticamente las emociones que se transmitieron en las campañas electorales y en la segunda etapa se codificó 1.543 publicaciones para identificar la oferta de campaña y la agenda política de los candidatos.    Resultados: La comunicación política en las redes sociales no es estratégica, se observa un exceso de información que satura la red social y que además carece de contenido de valor para el ciudadano. Conclusiones: La comunicación política 2.0 es incipiente en Ecuador, se utiliza Facebook como un canal de comunicación tradicional, con contenido retórico, poco interesante, pero cargado de emocionalidad positiva para intentar conectar con el electorado.
Understanding the Intention to Adopt Cloud-based Accounting Information System in Jordanian SMEs
Authors:   College of Business, King Faisal University, Lutfi Abdalwali
Published: March 2022

The Information Technology (IT) revolution that led to the development of cloud computing services and systems has brought numerous benefits to end users handling business through the Internet, particularly in the field of accounting information systems (AIS). Cloud-based accounting information systems (CB-AIS) enable firms to substantially reduce their investment in IT and have flexible access to an enormous group of current and scalable resources. CB-AIS enables small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to undertake basic bookkeeping responsibilities themselves instead of paying external auditors for the same services. In Jordan, however, current businesses are still in the infancy stage when it comes to CB-AIS adoption. Therefore, this study applied the Technology, Organization, and Environment model to examine CB-AIS adoption among SMEs in Jordan. Data collection was achieved using a structured survey questionnaire collected from 156 owners/managers of SMEs in Jordan through online means. The proposed research framework comprises six factors that influence intention to adopt CB-AIS (IACB-AIS). Based on the findings, the proposed hypotheses were supported in that the factors positively and significantly affect the IACB-AIS of SMEs in Jordan. Through examining an actual IACB-AIS case and highlighting the importance of its application, the study and its findings are expected to contribute to decision-makers and practitioners in the IT field.

Published: March 2022

Objectives : The Environmental Pollution Facility Act was implemented to effectively reduce pollutants that could be generated in the business establishment, centering on emission facilities, from the Media Act, which had been managed in the aspect of follow-up management. Accordingly, the change in the generation of air pollutants after the integrated permit in coal-fired power plants was examined.Methods : Air pollutant emission standards were analyzed for business establishment that use coal, a solid fuel, as fuel among power plants that have completed integrated permits.Results and Discussion : The standards suggested by the Act on the Integrated Control of Pollutant-Discharging Facilities have numerically higher values than the existing Clean Air Conservation Act Standards, but there is a limit to evaluating only with simple standards because permit standards are given through emission impact analysis. As a result of a comparison through the emission impact analysis, it was found that 10 plants were given stricter permit standards for sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides by 22% and for dust by 10% at 8 business establishment.Conclusion : The level of pollution on the surrounding location status is evaluated, and permission standards are granted. It was confirmed that the emission impact analysis method under the Act On The Integrated Control of Pollutant-Discharging Facilities can be applied as a more strictly manageable means than the existing standards under the Clean Air Conservation Act.

Introduction. The relevance of the study is caused by the transformation of the media market in the context of global digitalization, where traditional media are dying off and replaced by new media formats and new opportunities. Materials and Methods. In the course of the study, general and special methods of scientific knowledge were used: systemic, structural analysis, analysis and comparison of quantitative data obtained as a result of studying the media market. The study of the digital transformation of the global media market through the prism of new media formats is considered from an economic point of view. The economic approach includes consideration of resource constraints that impede the development of new media formats, assessment of their efficiency in the context of global digitalization, pandemic threats and challenges. Results and Discussion. The media market in the 21st century, with the advent of new digital technologies, is actively developing in new media formats such as blogging and podcasting. Pandemic threats and challenges have formed new global trends in the media sphere, for example, podcasts are gaining popularity in the modern world. The growing popularity of podcasts is characterized by the development of streaming platforms and podcast clients (podcast managers). The media market combines information and resource markets that are aimed at promoting media content in the modern world. The article analyzes the market components of the media business: media market regulators, the specifics of media formats, media products and advertising services in the media sphere. The value of the digital transformation of the media market is important both for consumers of media content, which is associated with the ability to meet individual needs, and for the country as a whole and companies in particular. Conclusion. The authors came to the conclusion that today the high demand for new media products, new media trends, new media formats in the modern world among users of digital media content leads to the development of the media market and media business in the context of digitalization and transformation. Podcasting as a new media format provides new opportunities for the development and existence of podcasters, listeners, advertisers and other media professionals in a market economy.

Authors:   University of International Business and Economics Beijing, China, Ahmad Shakil , Khan Imran ,   Government Post Graduate College Timergara
Published: March 2022

Introduction. The central purpose of this study is to estimate the impact of globalization on poverty in Pakistan. Poverty is world massive curse in the previous and present years. Different organizations and institutions of the world are struggling to eliminate it from the world. Globalization and poverty is corresponding in the world and similarly in Pakistan. Materials and methods. We used time series data from 1970 to 2019 and assigned autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model approach to take out empirical results which indicate that Foreign Direct Investment, Trade Openness, and Gross Domestic Product. The ARDL model is one of the most common dynamic unrestricted model in econometric literature. Results. We summarize that globalization has dominant positive influence on poverty and economic growth and considerably decreased level of poverty in Pakistan. Improving trade openness, FDI, and GDP are the central and dynamic for reducing poverty in Pakistan. It indicates that there is tight association between globalization and poverty in the context of Pakistan. Conclusions. This study proposes that utilizing globalization as an instrument and putting together such policies that primarily for the poor’s will help government to eradicate poverty. Although liberalization has contributed to poverty reduction, most of the developed countries have not so much liberalized their economies by maintaining their immigration laws, which discourage the immigration of labor from developing countries including Pakistan. Therefore, we would like to present the following recommendations for policymakers. Pakistan trade is still limited to specific countries. Pakistan has needed to explore its trade to other countries markets. The government should grab measures to revise its immigration laws, structural reforms, policy regarding trade openness, import exports and poverty at macro level, because immigration laws play a very crucial role and the impact of trade openness on poverty is the most significant one. Pakistan should pay some considerable attention to employment creation.Pakistan should pay reasonable interest to improve law and order situation to captivate international business community to invest in Pakistan. Pakistan trade is still limited to specific countries. Pakistan has needed to explore its trade to other country markets.

GOLDEN CALF NARRATIVE: Deuteronomist Ideology of Jeroboam Reformation
Authors: Lumingkewas Marthin Steven , Missa Antonius , Krisdiantoro Andreas Bayu
Published: March 2022

Jeroboam 1st is depicted as the prototype for all future evil kings, who are regularly accused According to the books of Kings. Jeroboam accused of established two sanctuaries; Bethel and Dan to rival the temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. These shrines then provoke vehement censure and sin of Jeroboam become paradigmatic of northern apostasy. Underlying the negative depiction of Jeroboam’s cult, however, scholars have found subtle details suggesting that Jeroboam’s cult was traditional and even Yahwistic in nature. His calves may be best understood as familiar Canaanite vehicles for the invisible deity enthroned above them – in this case, Yahweh – comparable to the cherubim in southern cult of Judah. Jeroboam priesthood likely included Levites. And his choices of Dan and Bethel, too, apparently reflected a sensitivity to honor venerable memories of pre-monarchic era. This research aims to explain what Jeroboam did was not a violation of the Yahwistic system of Israel at that time. The establishment of God in Bethel and Dan did not disconcert the status of Yahweh in the treasures of Israel, instead of a form of a political assertion that separated Israel from the arrogance and the power of Judah. By using the method of analyzing historical criticism and literacy, the result is a new perspective of understanding Jeroboam’s reform in Israel - merely a political movement alone. Jeroboam never removed Yahweh from the treasury as the god of Israel. Instead, he retained Yahweh as God who was declared to have led Israel out of Egypt.
Limites e potencialidades do planejamento e da governança regional: a Região Metropolitana do Vale do Paraíba e Litoral Norte na Macrometrópole Paulista
Authors: Scaquetti Rosa , Moreira Pedro Ribeiro , Maciel Lidiane
Published: March 2022

Esse artigo pretende contribuir para o debate acerca da capacidade que as Regiões Metropolitanas brasileiras teriam de praticar governança, ou seja, coordenar e integrar efetivamente o planejamento e a execução das funções públicas de interesse comum. O estudo focado na governança metropolitana se origina da constatação do descompasso entre as iniciativas de governança e as ações efetivamente implementadas no contexto do estado de São Paulo no período da criação do Estatuto da Metrópole, ocorrido em 2015. Um espaço de observação possível dessas questões é a Região Metropolitana do Vale do Paraíba e Litoral Norte (RMVPLN), situada na Macrometrópole Paulista, tendo em vista a sua diversidade, bem como a larga distância entre a data de sua proposição e a da sua institucionalização, significando um contexto complexo de variáveis para estudo. Investiga-se como se deram os processos de criação e institucionalização dessa Região Metropolitana, desde as negociações de institucionalização até a tentativa de consolidação da governança metropolitana, buscando desenvolver a hipótese de haver uma centralidade no que se chama de fato regional, em detrimento do fato metropolitano. A partir de uma pesquisa quanti-qualitativa descritiva, e utilizando-se de dados publicados por instituições de pesquisa, mídias sociais e entrevistas, levantam-se os sentidos da criação da RMVPLN e coloca-se em perspectiva o processo de governança no contexto do planejamento em escala regional.
Conflitos e desafios entre a regionalização do saneamento básico, a governança da água e a Macrometrópole Paulista
Authors: Orsi Rafael Alves , Gonçalves Juliano Costa , Pugliesi Erica , Almeida Dayana
Published: March 2022

A macrometrópole paulista (MMP) é uma proposta de regionalização com 174 municípios fundamentada em questões e dinâmicas econômicas para pensar estratégias de planejamento e gestão do território. A gestão da água no Estado de São Paulo estruturada em uma gestão descentralizada e participativa delimitou os limites geográficos de aplicação de políticas que visam o equilíbrio ecológico dentro de bacias hidrográficas. Uma terceira lógica de regionalização surgiu para implementar as políticas do saneamento básico, Lei nº 14.026/20 (Novo Marco Regulatório do Saneamento). Este artigo busca compreender as regionalizações da MMP, da gestão dos recursos hídricos e no novo marco de saneamento básico, focando nos instrumentos de planejamento, gestão socioambiental e governança da água, utilizando revisão bibliográfica e documental. As regionalizações possuem recortes espaciais divergentes que sobrepostos enfraquecem o planejamento, a gestão e governança da água, devido, principalmente, ao modelo de regionalização do saneamento do Estado de São Paulo.

Um retrato das pesquisas sobre livros didáticos de sociologia no Brasil
Authors: Bodart Cristiano das Neves
Published: March 2022

O artigo analisa a produção científica brasileira, especialmente os artigos que toma como objeto, ou fonte de pesquisa, os livros didáticos (ou manuais) de Ciências Sociais (Sociologia, Antropologia e Ciência Política). São analisados aspectos constituintes dessa produção, tais como perfil dos autores e das autoras, os focos das pesquisas, seus métodos, suas técnicas e principais referências. Fica evidenciada a expansão do volume de artigos publicados a partir de 2014, tendo o envolvimento maior de pesquisadoras doutoras em Sociologia. Observou-se que os artigos se voltam prioritariamente à análise interna dos livros didáticos, mais especificamente à análise de conteúdo, havendo uma reduzida preocupação com reflexões metodológicas do campo da manualística. As referências são variadas, não figurando uma rede de citação interna. É explicitado que a figuração do manual escolar como objeto de análise está relacionada às dinâmicas de produção e ao consumo desse recurso didático, tendo o Plano Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD) uma importante participação nessa dinâmica, e ao recente desenvolvimento do subcampo de pesquisa sobre o ensino de Sociologia.

Published: March 2022

Introduction. Disability is an integral part of the state of public health. Almost everyone can have temporary or permanent health disorders. The significance of disability for society is determined by many determinants - the state of the health care system, the socio-economic level of development and the environmental situation in the region, historical and political root causes, as well as biological factors of the individual that determine the limitations of life and persistent disability. The purpose of the study is to analyze disability in the Primorsky Krai as a criterion of public health. Material and methods. The study used information about the disabled of the Primorsky Krai according to the Federal State Statistics Service, statistical data from the Federal Register of Disabled People and the main indicators of the Main Bureau of Medical and Social Expertise in the Primorsky Krai. Data processing was carried out using descriptive statistics methods. Results. Over the past five years, the number of disabled people in Primorsky Krai has decreased (the decrease was 6,831 people or 6.1%), which can be explained by the gain in the number of doctors of all specialities (in 2017 by 0.74%, in 2019 by 2.32%), the death of older people over 60 years old, who are the most numerous category of disabled people (56.08%). In addition, the rules and criteria of medical and social expertise are being improved. The leading causes of disability among the adult population are malignant neoplasms (33.3%), diseases of the circulatory system (26.35%), diseases of the musculoskeletal system (8.26%). At the same time, the number of disabled children is growing, especially at the age of 7-17 years (705 people). The causes of childhood disability are mental disorders (26.78%), congenital anomalies and deformities (21.96%), diseases of the nervous system (15.81%). The increase in the number of disabled children is explained by an increase in the quality of medical care for pregnant women and premature babies. Conclusion. Primorsky Krai has one of the lowest rates of disability of the accumulated contingent, primary and repeated disability, as well as child disability.

Introduction. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was quarantine, limited contacts, and an increased burden on the healthcare system in the last two years. These problems have led to a rethinking and transformation of patients’ readiness for the digitalisation of healthcare. Purpose. to form a patient profile, ready to use digital technologies and artificial intelligence methods in medical care during the COVID-19 pandemic, based on technological competence and digital literacy skills analysis. Material and methods. The sociological survey of patients was used through the remote distribution of links to the Google form on the Internet. The survey consists of 11 blocks, including an assessment of attitudes towards digital technologies and artificial intelligence in healthcare. Results. The average age of respondents was 41.8 ± 0.7 years, mostly female 225 (74%) in the group of patients ready to use electronic wearable devices to monitor and control their health. One hundred thirty-one people (43.1 %) regularly monitor their blood pressure levels. One hundred thirty-seven people (45%) assess their health as good and 133 (43.7%) satisfactory. 256 (84.2%) respondents mostly work full-time. Ones do physical exercises regularly in 34.2% (n = 104) cases and rarely in 48,7% (n = 148). Only 164 respondents (29.4%) consider it possible to use artificial intelligence methods in providing medical care, preventing the development of diseases and promoting a healthy lifestyle, against 256 people (45.9%), the remaining 137 people (24.6%) found it difficult to answer. Women (49.7%) were more often against artificial intelligence methods than men (33.6%). Conclusion. It is necessary to consider the patient’s profile characteristics, who is ready to use digital technologies and artificial intelligence methods in medical care when developing effective programs to increase the level and pace of healthcare’s digitalisation in the region.
Kinetic Modeling of Pulp Production from Plantain Trunk
Authors: Igbagara Princewill , Evawere Umukoro
Published: March 2022

Plantain pseudostem has high content of lignocellulose used for production of pulp. But ironically, this resource is unexploited, with plantain stem becoming a common domestic waste in many parts of the world. The present work provides a kinetic model based on the kraft process from experimental determination of the rate of delignification reaction of plantain stem aimed at its application for pulp making and eventual paper production. Objectives of the work are twofold: firstly, to create an alternative raw material to wood for pulp production given the dwindling wood resources world – over and secondly, as a means of environmental waste management and control. The Arrhenius kinetic model was used to find the rate constant for the process with precise determination of its activation energy and pre – exponential factor. Results of study showed that Plantain (musa acuminate) is similar in chemical composition and morphology, but has higher amounts of cellulose (which is the major substance in pulping) than banana (musa pradisiaca). Plantain pseudostem is therefore highly recommended as an alternative source of raw material to wood for pulping production.
Formulation Of The Total Potential Energy Functional Relevant To The Stability Analysis Of A Doubly Symmetric Single (DSS) Cell Thin- Walled Box Column In Line With Raleigh- Ritz Method
Authors: Nwachukwu K. , Ezeh J. , Ozioko H. , Eiroboyi J , Nwachukwu D.
Published: March 2022

Purpose: This work is concerned with the formulation of peculiar Total Potential Energy Functional (TPEF) for a Doubly Symmetric Single (DSS) cell Thin -walled Box Column (TWBC).  The formulated Energy Functional Equations support the stability analysis of a DSS cell thin-walled box (closed) column cross-section using Raleigh - Ritz Method (RRM) with polynomial shape functions.

Methodology: This present formulation is based on the governing TPEF developed by Nwachukwu and others (2017). The polynomial shape functions (only the first two coordinate polynomial shape functions) for different boundary conditions were generated first, and then followed by the formulation of TPEF for different boundary conditions of the DSS cell TWBC.

Findings: The Raleigh- Ritz based formulated TPEF equations are found suitable, handy and simple to be used in the Flexural(F) , Flexural- Torsional(FT)  and Flexural- Torsional- Distortional(FTD) buckling/stability analysis of DSS cell TWBC cross-section where data obtained (critical bulking loads) will be compared with the works of other authors in subsequent papers.

Conclusion: Henceforth it is recommended that additional work should be done using more than first two coordinate polynomial shape functions in order to increase the accuracy of RRM.
Expansión punitiva y tratamiento para agresores sexuales: a propósito de la inhabilidad de la Ley 1918 de 2018 y la sentencia C-407 de 2020
Authors:   Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Bogotá, Colombia, Hernández-Jiménez Norberto , Rodríguez-Padilla Alexa Liliana ,   Universidad El Bosque Bogotá, Colombia
Published: March 2022

El 12 de julio de 2018 se promulgó la Ley 1918, mediante la cual se establece el régimen de inhabilidades a quienes hayan sido condenados por delitos sexuales cometidos contra menores. Esta norma fue objeto de estudio por la Corte Constitucional (sentencia C-407 de 2020), tribunal que declaró exequible esta inhabilidad, en el entendido de que su duración deberá sujetarse a los límites temporales que para dichas penas establezca el Código Penal colombiano. En el presente documento ofrecemos una mirada alternativa en torno al tema, para lo cual iniciamos nuestro estudio con la expansión punitiva en materia de delitos sexuales. Posteriormente abordamos el tratamiento que se les da a los agresores sexuales desde una mirada comparativa e interdisciplinar, para desembocar en el análisis de constitucionalidad de esta medida, cuya aplicación demanda una clasificación del delincuente, que es omitida en el ámbito nacional. Nuestra tesis, contrario al pronunciamiento de constitucionalidad del 16 de septiembre de 2020 –que es vinculante y de obligatorio cumplimiento–, es que la Ley 1918 de 2018 es inconstitucional y no supera el test de proporcionalidad, razón por la cual debió ser expulsada del ordenamiento jurídico colombiano.

La delincuencia es un fenómeno complejo que permea y afecta profundamente nuestra sociedad. A pesar de que existen innumerables estudios sobre la conducta delictiva, las investigaciones han dejado a un lado la variable de género, la cual marca una diferencia importante en la explicación de las conductas humanas. Esto genera no solo vacíos teóricos, sino también dificultades en la comprensión, explicación y posible solución de este fenómeno. Por ello se realizó una revisión bibliográfica entorno a las diferencias de género en la conducta delictiva, contexto penitenciario y tratamiento para la reinserción social, donde se logró identificar 59 artículos seleccionados de las principales bases de datos científicas, durante el periodo 2000-2020. Se encontró que las mujeres que cometen actos delictivos deben ser sujetas a un tratamiento particular, diseñado en función de las características particulares de su perfil criminal y de las necesidades especiales que su propio género exige. Lo anterior implica un abordaje multicausal y multidisciplinar que dirija el desarrollo de programas que logren atender a esta población de una manera pertinente y eficaz.

Desde el institucionalismo histórico se describen las acciones desarrolladas por la Policía Nacional de Colombia en el año 2020 en el servicio de policía, con ocasión del escenario de emergencia sanitaria generado por la pandemia del covid-19, que cambió el entramado criminógeno y el comportamiento de actores criminales y el delito en el país. Por lo tanto, la policía utilizó un enfoque de policía proactiva y criminología táctica para la contención del crimen en Colombia, que se explica en este capítulo. Entre los principales resultados se destacan el uso de evidencia científica y la utilización de la criminología táctica como soporte de la planeación del servicio policial, para el diseño de acciones que estuvieron asociados con la disminución del homicidio en Colombia del 4,2%, evidenciando contención del repunte del delito como efecto de la reconfiguración del crimen en la coyuntura crítica del confinamiento. Así mismo, este capítulo puede ser un referente para los organismos de seguridad, que plantea una reflexión de las enseñanzas en la aplicación de un enfoque de policía proactiva en los cambios recientes del crimen durante el escenario de pandemia covid-19.

Online educations are gaining more scope due to the busy schedule of working groups and their interest to acquire knowledge in new fields. Working group people find difficult to get admission in top institutions for their interested course due to competition and lack of time flexibility. Regular full-time university affiliated courses become lack of interest for the working group due to outdated curriculum, lack of innovation in teaching, unchanged learning and evaluation environment and lack of industry oriented advanced courses. Some institutions/universities provide short-term online courses for working people, which are liked by many working people due to its new evaluation and learning methods, advanced curriculum and industry oriented subjects. The introduction of mobile wireless communication technology modernization, innovation and globalization are increasingly driving the online education to become ubiquitous, personalized, convenient, and flexible for working groups. In this paper, we discuss based on the location how some short term certification courses can incorporate changes in curriculum. In this paper, we discuss when a particular university introduces some certification courses worldwide, how concepts, regulations or entire subject changes depending on the geographical location. At the time of registration location of the user is accepted from the user. If the registered user changes the location for more than two weeks then that is traced by GPS through the mobile phone and curriculum content changes a little bit. Initially, this is introduced only for some competitive examinations material and short term certification courses related to commerce and political science, which is slightly different depending on the location. This paper discusses how in online short term certification courses, changes in curriculum and innovation in teaching, learning, and evaluation can be implemented for the benefits of working people located in different geographical regions of the world.
