This paper provides a systematic review of distance learning literature in early childhood teachers education programmes. The paper aimed to identify the reality of these programmes, the challenges they face, and recommendations through which distance learning can be developed in early childhood teacher education programmes. A systematic review of research literature was undertaken. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement was followed for the selection of studies and the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of the review showed that, in the 24 systematic reviewed studies, the researchers focused on three main areas; (1) advantages and limitations of distance learning in early childhood teacher education programmes, (2) recommendations for improving distance learning in early childhood teacher education programmes, and (3) distance learning in early childhood teacher education programmes during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper produced several conclusions. The most important of which is that despite the challenges facing the distance learning in early childhood teacher education programmes, distance learning has become one of the most effective solutions to achieving sustainable learning, not only during the COVID-19 pandemic but also as a strategic choice to overcome the problems facing the educational systems of different nations.

Digital technologies have become an essential part in human life, and these technologies have imposed themselves strongly after the Covid-19 pandemic. Distance learning has become a reality in students' academic life, then the traditional system has turned into a blended system, which requires correct digital ethical practices as concerns were raised about it. Therefore, this paper aims examine the digital ethics in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic from the perspective of students of the Faculty of Specific Education at Damietta University. To reach this end, the research follows the descriptive approach, using the questionnaire as one of its tools in five digital ethical areas: intellectual property rights (copyright protection), privacy, accuracy, and safety, And misuse; the questionnaire was applied to a sample of (848) students of the third and fourth year in the college, and the results showed that the majority of the sample members have a positive perception of digital ethics practices, especially in the field of safety, followed by privacy, accuracy and misuse, ending with copyright protection. In addition, there are no statistically significant differences in the responses of the sample members due to the gender variable, and there are statistically significant differences in the responses of the sample members due to the study group and parent variables Educational programs. The paper also revealed the factors that prevent adherence to digital ethics, and proposals to enhance digital ethics from the students' point of view. The paper ended with a proposed vision to enhance the development of digital ethics among students of the Faculty of Specific Education, Damietta University in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Undergraduate engineering students must acquire practical skills alongside learning theory to better prepare them for their career. In the last two decades, simulation softwares in electromagnetics have become widespread in both industry and academia. But these softwares are not usually taught in electrical engineering (EE) programs, thus leaving a gap in skills of graduates when entering the job market or graduate school. In the first semester of 2020-2021, a new course entitled "Computer simulations in electromagnetics" was designed and offered in the School of EE of Sharif University of Technology which was a new step on a national and international level. The course objective was to teach the correct methods of simulation using three widespread softwares in the field of microwave and photonics, which cover most aspects of this field. In this paper, we discuss the main ideas behind the creation of this course, its syllabus, presentation method, as well as challenges and achievements in this effort. In addition to filling the educational gap in EE programs, this laboratory increases student interest and motivation, better prepares students for future, and allows for a virtual laboratory (especially in periods such as the Covid 19 pandemic).

The Corona virus pandemic (COVID -19) is a stressful test to educational systems around the world. With hundreds of millions of learners forced to stay at home, education policy makers are working to ensure that classrooms continue, and that the most vulnerable are not left behind. As countries around the world use different methods of pandemic control, the Corona virus crisis is an opportunity for policymakers to share experiences and collaborate to mitigate the effects of the pandemic. With the combined expertise of the Harvard Global Innovation Initiative in Education, the Department of Education and Skills of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the World Bank Group's Global Education Practice Organization, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) collected information from around the world on the response of educational systems to the crisis. This paper presents a summary of six of the most prominent reports highlighting analyses by education experts on global and local responses to the crisis, and lessons learned from implementing response strategies in different contexts to create resources for teachers, policy makers and learners to ensure that education does not stop.

Background and Objective: Understanding the factors contributing to the mortality of COVID-19 patients can provide comprehensive information for preventive decisions and public health, and will help in better management of the epidemic. In this regard, the present study was conducted with the aim of identifying and introducing risk factors affecting the mortality of COVID-19 patients by modifiable and non-modifiable factors. Materials and Methods: In this review study, according to the objectives of the study, related papers on risk factors affecting the mortality of COVID-19 patients were searched and collected in the international databases of Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, PubMed, and Google scholar. Then the results were extracted and reported by modifiable and non-modifiable factors. Results: The results showed that almost all studies conducted in this field address non-modifiable risk factors such as age, sex, and underlying diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, respiratory diseases, cancer, selfdiseases, autoimmune, and neurological diseases. Although few studies have been conducted on modifiable risk factors, lack of early admission or long waiting for hospital admission, occupancy of hospital beds and ICUs, as well as lack of equipment in hospitals were associated with increased mortality in these studies. Conclusion: Regarding the situation of different countries in this epidemic, improving the control of the COVID-19 epidemic and reduce the mortality rate is possible by considering modifiable factors and taking appropriate measures. According to the results of studies, allocating sufficient financial, personnel and equipment resources can be effective in reducing COVID-19 mortality. However, controlling the COVID-19 epidemic to reduce morbidity and mortality as well as its economic and social consequences is possible by integrated management in the country. Also, using the experiences and guidance of the World Health Organization and successful countries, and stability in measures with a comprehensive approach should be considered [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
