The COVID-19 pandemic has spread across the world. The pandemic causes humans to reduce their direct interaction. People during this pandemic use the internet connected to contemporary electronic devices to fulfill their basic needs with greater intensity. This technology serves to solve problems of time, distance, and geographic boundaries. This technology also contributes to the development of interaction mechanisms or models that previously could only be done by meeting two people directly to carry out aqad. One of them is a marriage contract using teleconferencing or video calls made by some people during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aims to determine the validity of the marriage contract which is carried out using teleconferencing technology. The method used is literature study by linking this issue with the facts that occur and how technology is applied in the context of this discussion. The effort in this study was carried out to make conclusions based on deepening the facts of the technology used by linking the opinions of the scholars regarding this issue. Basically the marriage contract occurs according to our understanding so far, namely the presence of both parties who carry out the contract, or who represent both or one of the two. Then the consent and qabul were carried out by the presence of two witnesses and being able to identify with certainty the two parties who made the contract in one council. Whereas if the contract occurs through teleconference which does not collect the contract actors and witnesses, then basically the contract is prohibited which results in the invalidity of the marriage contract that occurs. This is because this case is built on the basis of dhan (mere allegation) and is not a sure thing, because a process like this can be entered into by falsification and fraud through applications that can change sounds and images, as well as sometimes it is sometimes difficult to detect the perpetrators of the contract. Whereas if one of the actors of the contract is in a special situation that prevents him/her from attending, whereas previously there has been an agreement between the two parties where the guardian and the witness have seen the details of the groom and at the time of the teleconference, they can identify him/her with certainty without any doubt, then in this situation marriage by means of teleconferencing is permitted and legally valid. Teleconferencing is a tool. The Ushul rule states that the law of the tool or facility follows the basic law. If the facility fulfills the pillars and conditions, then the marriage contract is valid, otherwise the marriage is invalid.

Abstract Using a framework developed by Hood and adapting it to crises, we explore the factors behind the use of three types of political accountability strategies— presentational, policy, and agency—during responses to the COVID‐19 crisis in Greece and Turkey. We situate the comparison in the current political context and conclude with implications for political survival as leaders attempt to balance public accountability, political expediency, and national health.

Social interaction has been recognized as positively affecting learning, with dialogue–as a common form of social interaction–comprising an integral part of collaborative learning. Interactive storytelling is defined as a branching narrative in which users can experience different story lines with alternative endings, depending on the choices they make at various decision points of the story plot. In this research, we aim to harness the power of dialogic practices by incorporating dialogic activities in the decision points of interactive digital storytelling

Social distancing and public safety measures enacted in response to COVID-19 created a surge in methodological "advice" for researchers facing disruption to fieldwork. Resources and publications frequently encouraged changes vis-a-vis digitally enhanced methods or employment of digital ethnography. For ethnographers, the establishment and maintenance of ethnographic relationships in pandemic contexts restricted to virtual interactions has not been thoroughly explored, leaving those trained in recruitment, rapport-building, and field engagement with fewer resources to navigate this integral topic. Here, we provide insights

Analysing the handling of the pandemic’s first phase in Greece, the article attempts to explain the reasons for its relative success. It suggests four main reasons: First, the predominance of evidence-informed policymaking led by strong and decisive leadership. Second, a timely and firm crisis response, driven by the prior experience of other European countries with the pandemic. Third, the public sector’s digital turn and a tight scheme of intra-government coordination. Fourth, a transparent and effective communication strategy signalling that public

Vocational training is the cornerstone of many industries especially those that depend mainly on the human element like tourism. The tour guide is considered one of the most vital employees in tourism. Depending on his performance and interaction with the tourists, the destination image is positively or negatively formed. Accordingly, it is necessary to pay great attention to tour guides’ education and training through formal specialized institutes to enhance the professional skills of tour guides. The training of the tour

This article is a preliminary exploration of the effects of Covid-19 in Silicon Valley, one of three pandemic 'hotspots' on America's west coast. In particular, it describes how the crisis has deepened and magnified social and economic inequalities in a region where poverty, homelessness and gentrification are rife. Despite the fact that many technology firms are reaping massive profits in the wake of 'shelter in place' orders, many Silicon Valley workers have lost their jobs and are struggling to cope
