The financial asset management industry is constantly looking for ways to reduce the cost of running funds by simplifying their processes and making it easier to comply with regulatory requirements. Blockchain provides a feasible solution to these requirements. This paper explores the operational and implementation aspects of the business-grade version of the enterprise blockchain technology that benefits all stakeholders in the asset management industry using a theory-driven approach. Implementation technology, procedure, regulation, and social dimensions for practical implementation are discussed. Enterprise Ethereum Alliance's (EEA) Ethereum Architecture Stack describes the architectural framework in the technical implementation. This paper explains how EEA features give the asset management ecosystem a value proposition from a practical implementation perspective. Hence, stakeholders (regulators, asset management companies, registrars) and financial intermediaries get directions on migrating to the blockchain network.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in December 2019 and quickly spread throughout the world, led to the closure of the world as well as our country and affected all sectors, including the education sector. As a result of the impact of COVID-19, face-to-face education was interrupted all over the world and distance education systems were initiated. During this whole process, various problems occurred in education; consequently, this study aims to investigate the opinions of teachers in primary schools in TRNC working during this time to determine the nature of these problems. Information was gathered using the qualitative research scanning model; for this purpose, an easily accessible sample group selected on a volunteer basis was studied and their views on the subject were determined using a semi-structured interview form. The data obtained from the research were analysed by content analysis.

Tourism shows to be one of the most affected activities by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (responsible for COVID-19) outbreak. This situation is not only because of the cancelled flights but also of the fear of being infected with the virus. In this regard, a study was carried out intending to define and analyse the consequences of SARS-CoV-2 over the tourism intentions of Azores residents in 2020 by studying their perceptions. Throughout the research, it was possible to verify that the Azores Archipelago residents' tourism intentions were considerably modified due to SARS-CoV-2, with approximately 70% of the Azores Region residents saying that they will be spending their 2020 vacations in the region. Moreover, this article also provides insights into the enhancement of tourism safety models in regional tourism activities and consequently, in regional sustainable development and growth.

Tourism is the deed of every individual who loves to travel for leisure, entertainment, sports, or other purpose and usually stay in places outside their environment. It involves hospitality, health, sports, education, or entertainment. Tourism is often connected with the individual intentions to discover the facts and findings of the environment. But, the COVID-19 pandemic contamination has furiously affected the kind of tourism industry across the world and waiting for the biggest downfall ever in the history of tourism. It not only affected the common inter and intraregional travel but also badly hit the global tourism sectors. In this article, an impact study of COVID-19 on tourism sustainability is performed with an in-depth discussion on various issues and challenges. Further, an effective analytical perspective is presented on the applications of intelligent computing techniques to meet the challenges of tourism concerning COVID-19. This study will be helpful for effective analysis on different tourism sectors in a post-pandemic scenario along with a special focus towards the enhancement of domain knowledge of different stakeholders, industries, and government organisations.
