New development in information and communication technology has changed the way people approach their life and work. Employees can conduct their job from home rather than doing them in an office environment because of technological advancement. Sri Lankan private companies such as telecommunication and software development company employees started working from home during the COVID19 pandemic period, and they continue it. This study was conducted from an employee perspective to identify the determinants of employees' job satisfaction when working from home as it is new for Sri Lankans. In this research, the two-factor theory, which Frederick Herzberg introduced, has been used to determine the factors that cause job satisfaction when working from home. The required information was obtained through an online google form, and the sample size was 232. The sampling technique was multi-stage cluster sampling. The independent two-sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were used to derive the required inferences. The results showed that gender has a significant impact on employees' job satisfaction when working from home. Also, results indicated that hygiene factors, working conditions, and company policy positively impact employees' job satisfaction when working from home, while supervisor relationship and co-worker relationship have a significant negative impact on employees' job satisfaction when working from home.

There is no doubt that covid-19 is harmful for health and environment because of greatly infectious waste Generation which potentially acted as secondary virus medium transmission. This current research presents an investigation on medical waste from covid-19 intensive care hospitals and disposable face mask waste generation in Indonesia. The results showed that the generation of medical waste is estimated 16.74-25.12 times lower than disposable face mask waste of 80.37 tons/day and 1,345.99-2,018.98 Tons/Day, Respectively. It proves that masks have become an important part for human life sustainability. Meanwhile, the rate of medical waste generation is 1.58 Kg/bed/day. Therefore, Indonesia has been generating 1,699.46-2,372.45 tons/day of Infectious waste during the covid-19 outbreak. Some guidelines have been implemented by the government to manage infectious waste in Indonesia, but it has not been optimally performed. Therefore, all aspects of infectious waste management need to be improved, including the role and responsibility of the government to avoid further phenomena due to the abundance of infectious waste.

Guitar player or guitarist is an activity that is related to the movement of the hands and fingers to play notes and chords on a guitar instrument. If done for a long time, there is a risk of injury to a guitar player's posture, and then it will interfere with his guitar performance and playing. Therefore, it is necessary to identify using several methods including NBM (Nordic Body Map), from 25 respondents there are 3 respondents who experience moderate risk when sitting and 12 respondents when standing. QEC (Quick Exposure Check), having an average exposure level of 46% and 44% means that further research is needed. RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) has a Grand Score when standing and sitting with a score of 7 so, what needs to be done is to immediately investigate the problem and implement changes related to the body posture of the guitar player or the guitar design used. and REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment), the last score (Grand Score) is 11, while in the sitting position the last score (Grand Score) is 9 indicating that the activity is very dangerous and needs to immediately implement changes related to the body posture of the guitar player or the guitar design used. And the results of the identification will be used as a reference basis in improving good posture in playing the guitar and become the main basis for making design changes to design an ergonomic guitar.

The COVID-19 pandemic has demanded online learning as an alternative to conventional classroom learning methods. The study’s aim was to explore the advantages and challenges of online learning as perceived by adult learners of Maltese as a second language. Data was collected from 35 adult participants using semi-structured interviews comprised of open-ended questions.

Lack of an Internet connection, IT skills and a personal computer or an Internet-enabled phone led to inequality in access to online learning sessions. Despite the shortcomings, participants perceived online learning to be a solution to suspended academic activities. This research concludes with a number of solutions to overcome the issues presented by online learning.
