The Covid-19 pandemic has brought about a new lifestyle for across the globe. Throughout this period, the use of holistic methods has become indispensable to deal with the enormous amount of data in this regard. It appears that the simplest way to tackle this issue is to spread the digitalization efforts concerning all data-based applications. Given the significance of pandemic data management, it is essential to have a data warehouse that collects, associates, and communicates these data. Containing a significant volume of structured data, warehousing can provide the necessary foundation for data mining and the development of analytical tools. To this end, the present paper proposes a data warehouse for combatting and managing pandemics, with the possibility to be enhanced for other personal or public health-related initiatives. In this research, the bottom-up data warehouse building methodology is used to construct a warehouse. A fact constellation schema model is utilized to accommodate the information ranging from citizen demographics to physician-prescribed drugs and laboratory tests. Sample queries are executed based on the proposed data warehouse for different purposes, and desired query results are obtained within proper response times. The proposed data warehouse contributes to countrywide implementation of pandemic practices and illuminates research on faster, less expensive, and safer management of citywide, nationwide, or worldwide health emergencies within a robust technical framework by governments.

Considering the evolutionary process of education and training from past to present, access to information is possible in many different ways such as written, visual, auditory, virtual, online, offline, one-to-one, or in classrooms regardless of age, place, and time. Within the scope of this study, a questionnaire was applied to undergraduate students who were studying at two different universities in Ankara and Izmir during 2018-2019 academic year by convenience sampling method. The survey data gathered from these universities were analyzed and compared to assess student awareness of new generation learning environments. According to the results of this survey, it is found that the undergraduate students had awareness about the new generation learning environments and that the awareness increases towards the upper grades. On the other hand, it is also found out that YouTube is the most preferred platform among the electronic learning resources.

Uncertainty, dealing with uncertainty, and making better and faster decisions under uncertain conditions is the biggest challenge for today's businesses. Management Information Systems and Strategic Management are two disciplines addressing uncertainty in the business environment and dealing with it from the decision-making perspective. The study originated from a Ph.D. course related to MIS theories. During the course, it was observed that a significant number of MIS theories originated from the Strategic Management field, and it was decided to conduct research on this topic. The study starts by identifying the most widely used theories in the field of Management Information Systems from different studies and academic databases. Then experts from Strategic Management were asked to list the theories they used the most. We found the commonalities between the two disciplines in terms of the theories used. After different analysis the study identifies 10 theories shared by both disciplines and explains the views of each discipline on each theory. We believe that the study will contribute to both disciplines in many areas.In addition, in the MIS area theories and applying theories are not so common. With this study, we aim to create awareness about big number of theories coming from different disciplines and re-interpreted by MIS scholars. Multidisciplinarity is essential for MIS research, and our paper proves that the Strategic Management field has the closest ties to the MIS discipline in terms of theories.
