Optimizing Doctors Availability and Appointment Allocation in Hospital
The modern world is witnessing remarkable progress in digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI), transforming various sectors, including education, transport, finance, and most importantly, healthcare. As the population grows and urban areas become more congested, traditional healthcare systems are struggling to meet increasing demands. One of the significant challenges faced by the healthcare sector is the inefficient allocation of patients to doctors. This inefficiency leads to multiple issues: prolonged waiting times for patients, overworked healthcare professionals, and the underutilization of available medical resources. These problems reduce the overall quality of care and patient satisfaction, and they delay the timely delivery of medical assistance, which can be critical in emergencies.Today, many patients have to manually search for doctors, check their availability, and travel considerable distances to seek consultation, even when a suitable and available doctor might be nearby. In hospitals, especially in emergency units, the allocation of incoming patients is often done manually, without a systematic or optimized method.
Smart And Effective Realtime Management Of Street Parking
With the increased vehicle ownership have led to a surge in traffic congestion, especially in densely populated neighborhoods. This has significantly impacted how cities manage street parking, exposing the limitations of conventional parking systems. These systems often fail to deliver a seamless experience due to inefficiencies such as manual management, lack of real-time data, and poor security. Drivers frequently struggle to find available parking, contributing to further traffic buildup and frustration. As cities expand, the pressure on urban infrastructure increases, and the need for intelligent, technology-driven parking solutions becomes more urgent. In most metropolitan areas, parking is one of the most challenging aspects of commuting. Traditional parking management systems, reliant on manual processes and outdated infrastructure, struggle to meet modern demands. Drivers often waste time searching for spots, and the lack of automation leads to frequent errors, misuse of space, and operational delays. Without real-time information or digital control, city administrators also face challenges in enforcing rules or optimizing space usage.

Four Days a Week
Bestselling author, leading sociologist and economist Juliet Schor makes the case for a four-day work week, persuasively showing how this model can address major challenges defining the future of work, such as burnout, AI and the climate crisis, and how employees, companies, and governments can work together to make it a reality.Around the world, long hours and intense pressure are taking their toll. When the pandemic hit in 2020, work-induced stress and burnout skyrocketed. Many reached a breaking point. Now, three-quarters of the world's employees are disengaged and struggling, including in the US and Canada, where half are experiencing high levels of daily stress.Our current work culture, the five-day, forty-hours-a-week model--which has gone unchanged for nearly a century--is failing. But a remedial countertrend has emerged: the four-day work week. Kickstarter, Bolt, Basecamp, ThredUp, and hundreds of other employers have eliminated the fifth day of work, successfully figuring out how to maintain productivity while seeing remarkable improvements in employee well-being and work-life balance. Hiring is easier, improving employee retention as fewer people are quitting. These results are global. Working a four-day week, people feel energized, capable, and more optimistic about their lives--and their jobs.Four Days a Week is the first large-scale study of this trend. Juliet Schor--an expert who has researched and written about work for more than four decades, beginning with her New York Times bestseller The Overworked American in 1992--shares her pioneering analysis of the benefits of a shorter work week, how companies can achieve them through effective work reorganization, why the concept has taken so long to emerge and gain acceptance, and why doing so will help a company's employees and its bottom line. The book is a blueprint for implementing a change that once seemed radical, but is now within reach.Based on pioneering analysis from hundreds of companies, this book provides the blueprint for that change: Data-Backed Case Studies: Go inside hundreds of companies--from tech startups to manufacturing firms--that have successfully transitioned to a four-day week, maintaining productivity and boosting their bottom line.A Framework for Productivity: Learn the strategies that allow teams to accomplish five days of work in four without increasing stress or burnout.Improved Employee Well-Being: Understand the science behind why a shorter work week dramatically reduces burnout, leading to happier, healthier, and more engaged employees.The Business Case for Change: Discover how a four-day week becomes a powerful tool for talent attraction and retention, giving your company a competitive edge in today's market.

State of Social Protection Report 2025
The past decade has been a success for social protection, with coverage expanding to 4.7 billion people across low- and middle-income countries. The expansion of social protection is great news for the world's poorest. Yet, across low- and middle-income countries, 2 billion people remain uncovered or inadequately covered by social protection. Furthermore, many of the 4.4 billion people in low- and middle-income countries who benefit from social protection may not receive the type and intensity of support they need in a world in transition. The report documents advances and challenges to strengthen social protection and labor systems across low- and middle-income countries, and discusses avenues to gradually close the coverage gap for the world's poorest. The path of reforms will depend on country context, capacity and fiscal space. In low-income countries, the report argues for a gradual expansion of social protection, prioritizing the coverage of poor and vulnerable populations through social assistance and economic inclusion programs. In middle-income countries, the report calls for strengthening social protection and labor systems, expanding and integrating the offer of services, and increasing reliance on contributory social insurance. The rising frequency of shocks and crises - including climate-related - also calls for major investments in social protection and labor systems' adaptability and preparedness. To achieve more and better social protection, investments in delivery systems (such as social registries, case management, payment and monitoring systems) will be essential, as they support more effective and better tailored social policies, more progressive fiscal policies, and greater shock responsiveness. The time for boosting ambition is now. Growing headwinds of change demand both increased investment and a fundamental shift in approach - from short-term reactions to proactive, long-term adaptation, and from siloed actions to integrated agendas.

How can the strategic direction for an organization be supported and communicated if planning, and even strategies, are no longer sufficient options in the age of complexity?

In the book, new and old ideas about communication and management are integrated into a framework rooted in the humanities and fine arts. The result is a new conceptual mindset for management which claims that jazz music, narrative theory, and improvisational theatre have more to offer to the development of organizations than traditional managerial models.

Navigating Through the Fog of Negotiation
Negotiations are an integral part of our daily lives, but they can also be challenging and complex. To successfully navigate the fog of negotiation, people rely on reference points--comparison standards for evaluating potential and final negotiation outcomes. They enable negotiators to make smart decisions and take effective action despite difficult circumstances. But how do these reference points emerge? What functions do they serve in negotiations? And how can they be utilized to shape outcomes? This book delves into the psychology of reference points in negotiations, exploring how they influence decision-making, behavior and negotiated outcomes. By uncovering their mechanisms, this work provides insights for understanding, predicting and refining negotiation techniques--essential knowledge for researchers, professionals and anyone aiming to negotiate more effectively.
