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.

Identifying The Concepts Of Ratio
A myth roams about in the arena of educational institutions, that the pupils fear Mathematics as a subject. Even, the subject teachers rest of pure Mathematics, vaguely believe that learning Mathematics is a difficult job which leads a student to be afraid of the subject. This book is a humble effort to find out some remedials by which our dear pupils can be able to overcome the age old so called "Fear" myth in learning Mathematics. Besides this, the author is also presenting some "Technical Know How" in solving mathematical problems practically, which he faces as a secondary level school teacher day in and day out. There are easy going, genial and tolerant discussions in this book about the problems on major concept 'Ratio (arithmetical treatment)' which have been arising in the syllabi of W.B.B.S.E. as well as C.I.S.C.E. These discussions have been done adopting several materials and methods which are mentioned in the book. This book will be useful for the learners of schools and their teachers, B.Ed. students and teachers, curriculum developers, researchers of various levels and those who are interested in learning mathematics.
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 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. Hiring is easier and 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, 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.

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.
