Will working from home become the 'new normal' in the public sector?
Working from home is currently the new normal for most people, however some companies or institutions are hesitant to this idea because of various factors be it technical or personnel problems. Managers or companies are concerned of the technology, employment regulation compliance and the employees’ productivity and performance (Williamson et al., 2018). Many of the technical barriers were swept away by the pandemic, leaving resistance based on institutional cultures and managerial attitudes.
Trust in government increased during the Covid-19 pandemic in Australia and New Zealand.
The trust that the people put in their government varies from one another, the trust the people have given their government comes from the handling of the pandemic. The better the handling of the pandemic the more trust the government earns, poor handling would result in the people losing trust in the government.

Health-Related Quality of Life, Blood Pressure, and Biochemical and Anthropometric Profile in Vegetarians and Nonvegetarians.
It is highly debated that being a vegetarian is a much healthier lifestyle than being a non-vegetarian. This article will tell us that while there is a difference between the two lifestyles, the difference is not that significant in terms of health-related quality of life. Being a vegetarian is still the healthier lifestyle but the irregular consumption of plant-based foods can also contribute to serious problems in a person’s lipid profile and increasing metabolic risk factors. In the end having a balanced diet is the best option no matter what lifestyle you have.
A Comparison of Strategies to Improve Population Diets: Government Policy versus Education and Advice.
Different strategies are utilized in order to improve the healthiness of the population diet. Using interventions that employ education, advice, and encouragement (EAE). These interventions have been carried out in diverse settings and may achieve modest success; an alternative strategy is action policies carried out by the governments. Action policies have a much more probable effect than those based on EAE and probably more cost-effective.
A Gluten-Free Diet, Not an Appropriate Choice without a Medical Diagnosis
Many people think that a gluten-free diet is a very healthy choice however there are detrimental effects to this diet, medical diagnosis is an important factor when considering a gluten-free diet. Some of these detrimental effects are loss of dietary fiber, deficiencies in dietary minerals and vitamins, and potential heavy metal exposure. If you are considering a gluten-free diet, be sure to consult a healthcare practitioner if this an advisable diet for you.

Collaborative Wireless Power Transfer in Wireless Rechargeable Sensor Networks.
Wireless Rechargeable Sensor Networks (WRSNs) are used at increasing network lifetime by transferring power to end devices. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) currently use the existing recharging scheme which relies on a rigid charging schedules using a single global charger, this method is not on-demand and incur higher charging latency affecting the lifetime of a WSN. This paper proposes a collaborative recharging technique to offload recharging workload to local chargers. The improvement of Wireless Power Transfer can be of great value as they charge devices that are in dangerous or remote areas efficiently.
Artificial-Noise-Aided Energy-Efficient Secure Multibeam Wireless Communication Schemes Based on Frequency Diverse Array.
Using wireless communication is very convenient now that almost everyone owns a device that is capable of wireless communication. Using wireless communication however is a bit risky for someone could possibly eavesdrop on your confidential conversations. Leveraging FDA technology and Artificial Noise (AN) technology. With these technology eavesdroppers (Eves) will have a minimized receiving power, this process works when the Eves location are known, for Eves with unknown location the AN will maximize its output all the while satisfying legitimate users (LU’s) required received power of confidential messages.
Nonorthogonal Multiple Access for Visible Light Communication IoT Networks.
Wireless communications are now of the most basic needs of any individual, because of these countless networks are now overloaded especially that an individual can carry multiple devices that can connect on any wireless connection given they have the credentials. Increased traffic in our wireless traditional radio frequency- (RF-) based Internet of Things (IoT) network suffers from a limited data rate and network capacity due to the shortage of RF spectra and massive IoT devices. Nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) for visible light communication (VLC) Internet of Things (IoT) networks and provided a promising system design for 5G and beyond 5G applications and could help lessen the burden on wireless networks.

The Germ Theory of Disease
The study of where diseases first originated was something that most people today won’t believe, early civilizations believed that these diseases came from the wrath of the gods and other superstitious beliefs back then. These diseases that are present in the air doesn’t mean that the air itself was toxic but rather the presence of these viruses and bacteria in the air around us were the ones that made the air toxic. Now that we are in the modern age, the origin of almost all diseases has a root cause that can be scientifically explained, the reason why face masks are important is so that the viruses and bacteria in the air will be filtered when we breathe in air, back then the equivalent of a face masks was a mask with herbs and spices inside them to use them as filters that would kill these harmful viruses and bacteria.
Teaching Coding through Game Creation
Coding through the use of game creation makes it more engaging and less tedious to think about, using various programming languages such as C++, GameMaker, JavaScript, Python and Scratch to create video games, and in the process, to learn coding. The library is ever evolving constantly innovating services to meet the informational needs of our clients make our services more convenient, accessible and modern through the use of technological advancement. Coding is beneficial to all kinds of professions and is only limited by our imagination and creativeness of these applications.
The Concepts of Family Dynamic
The idea of what makes an idea family structure is very complex and problematic, the Sociology Reference Guide series is designed to provide a solid foundation for the research of various sociological topics. Balancing work life and family life is a very hard task especially that most children won’t understand why their parents are often absent and almost has no time for them. Family functions such Social-Conflict analysis, Structural-Functional Analysis and Symbolic Interactionism are topics that are discussed in this book. This work is designed to provide a solid foundation for the research of various sociological topics.
