“…The study found that the reliance over digitalization and ICT to assess the performance of institutions and monitor the accountability of QA agencies would likely trigger the emergence of a paradigm shift in future. Yet, the issues, such as inequality and integrity, have drawn global attention (Furceri et al, 2020 ). Some expert interviewees are quite concerned that the abrupt shift to online education and virtual quality assurance had resulted in the widening gap of ICT capacity among varying higher education stakeholders accordingly.…”

The impact of COVID-19 on higher education and quality assurance (QA) has already elicited global attention and discussion. QA agencies and networks quickly learned to adapt in order to carry out assessments, accreditations, recognitions, and reviews in a full virtual mode. These practices include using shared folders for virtual desk review, video conferencing platforms for interviews, and virtual site visits. In order to respond to the 2020 pandemic, The International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE) swiftly adopted a virtual mode of the GGP review exercise for the GGP alignment applicants. The Higher Education Evaluation and Accreditation Council of Taiwan (HEEACT) was the first case that underwent a thorough virtual review process of GGP alignment during the 2020 pandemic. Therefore, this study aims to outline the impact of the pandemic in Taiwan higher education as well as provide the meta-analysis of the virtual review process of the INQAAHE GGP alignment by using HEEACT as a case study.

“…Major pandemics of the latest two decades lead to a long-lasting decrease in international tourist arrivals, with a peak (average) cumulative fall of about 12.5 per cent 3 years after the event. As indicated by previous studies, the impact of pandemics may be heterogeneous across both countries and episodes (see Furceri et al, 2020a;Ma, Rogers, et al, 2020). For example, less developed…”

The impact of the COVID‐19 crisis on tourism flows is without precedent in terms of speed and severity. In this paper, we try to infer a possible future scenario for the tourism sector, evaluating the medium‐term effects of past pandemics on tourist arrivals. We find that pandemics lead to a persistent decline in tourist arrivals, with the effects being larger in developing and emerging countries. Interestingly, the effects are heterogeneous across countries and episodes, and depend on several economic conditions such as the overall health system performance, the severity of the shock, and the uncertainty induced by the pandemic event.

“…Older adults, especially the millions who live without the support of a pension, are most physically and financially vulnerable to COVID-19. Since the onset of the pandemic, there has been a purported 7% rise in early retirement (Furceri et al, 2020). As such, older adults are left with decreased financial security and reduced lifetime earnings.…”

COVID-19 has spread rapidly around the world and taken over 2.6 million lives. Older adults experience disproportionate morbidity and mortality from the disease because increasing age and the presence of comorbidities are important predictors of negative outcomes. Lasting effects of COVID-19 have been described after recovery from the acute illness despite eradication of the virus from the body. The impact of COVID-19 on a person’s biological health post-infection is observed in multiple systems including respiratory, cardiac, renal, haematological, and neurological. Psychological dysfunction following recovery is also prevalent. Social factors such as distancing and stay at home measures leave older adults isolated and food insecure; they also face intertwined financial and health risks due to the resulting economic shutdown. This study examines the effects of COVID-19 on older adults using the biopsychosocial model framework.
