Resilience is the capacity to recover from difficulties and toughness in life rapidly. It is also described as the ability to successfully negotiate, adjust to, or manage significant sources of stress or trauma during this method. On the other hand, death anxiety or fear of death is present in all living humans, but it becomes more evident in settings where mortality is a factor (Greenberg et al., 1990). The current pandemic has not only thrown our lives into disarray, confusion, and disorder, but it has also thrown us into an endless era of mortality, when no one can be sure of their own well-being or safety.

Results show that there is no difference in resilience between covid positive and covid negative people, no significant difference in death anxiety between covid positive and covid negative people, there is no relationship between resilience and death anxiety among covid positive people, whereas there is a significant relationship between resilience and death anxiety among covid negative people.

Unorthodox urban transport parking and the proliferation of motor parks has elicited traffic congestion and chaos in the city of Bamenda. This article seeks to address the disorder through the creation of a multipurpose motor park as palliative to the disorder accrued. The paper advocates that a harmonized parking sector would not only decongest the city, but will as well maintain urban order. Some 182 questionnaires were administered to the city dwellers, transport agency owners and administrative authorities for first-hand information on the need for a multipurpose motor park. Field observation and interview sessions were carried out to confirm primary information acquired. The GPS was used to capture points for mapping of existing parks and the proposed multipurpose one. An in-depth documentary research was done to have information on the situation of the Bamenda city to propose solutions. Data collected was treated and analysed through the ArcGIS 10.0 and AutoCAD Map 3D to realise maps and diagrams for results. The Microsoft excel spread sheet was used to treat and generate tables for presentation and analyses. Results from findings disclose that the multiplying of motor parks in the city of Bamenda from all angles both as private and public has initiated disorder in the sector. Close to 63% of the parks are owned by private individuals who are more profit oriented than public interest focused leading to disorder. Demographic pressure from the perpetual increase in the population of Bamenda from 48,111 inhabitants in 1976 to 755,602 in 2020 has favoured congestion. The traffic flow of the city which is concentrated on its popular inlet through Up-Station from other regions has provoked severe congestion in the city. Uncontrolled parking has instigated urban transport chaos which can be salvaged through the creation of a multipurpose motor park.

Data interoperability of electronic medical records in dentistry in the present time is essential for ease and accuracy of health services. However, it also has the potential to cause ethical and legal problems in Indonesia if it is carried out without regard to the country’s laws and regulations. This issue encourages the author to conduct a further research on the legality and the concept of data interoperability of electronic medical records in dentistry in Indonesia. Where to be able to analyze the subject matter well, the authors in conducting research adheres to the paradigm of post-Positivism Paradigm, using Normative-Juridical Research Method where the Research data consist of primary data sources from related Laws and secondary data sources from related literature and analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate that the data interoperability of electronic medical records in dentistry is legally valid if it meets the requirements contained in Law Number 11 of 2008 and the Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 269 of 2008. The requirement as mentioned are: patients give their consent, guaranteed data privacy security, and original documents of electronic medical records must be kept in the health facility where only medical resumes (medical data) can be exchanged.

Although the formation of science may be investigated from the theological dimension, the sufficiency of human requirements in the study of the Qur’an is not only studied from the perspectives of Sufism, norms, systems, social practices, and knowledge. The essence of sufficiency in the study of the Qur’an for Muslims and others analyzes not only the material dimension but also the social and theological dimensions. This viewpoint at the very least provides insight into the range of the meaning of sufficiency in human existence, which gives rise to scientific results in a variety of forms and styles. Sufficiency in meeting needs is an eloquence that originates from the terms kafa, hasbi, and qona’a. The three words etymologically both mean enough. But in terms of terminology, adequacy in question is a feeling that the needs have been filled. The concept of adequacy in fulfilling needs which have the consequence of becoming a theological concept is constructed through the interpretation of the words kafa, hasbi, and qonaa, and is combined with the hadith about the adequacy and also the knowledge of Sufism that he has studied such as tawakkal and tafwidh, to obtain a solid construction. So this appears appropriate to be applied during Hedonic society in the current era. The sufficiency given by Allah to humans can be analyzed into several types, namely grace, istidroj, and sustenance that is promised to each of His creatures. In our modern-day, when the motive for pursuing necessities is carried out in a hedonic, pragmatic pattern and is backed by Maslow and Herzberg’s theory, Muslims’ notions of adequacy and the nature of feeling adequate are certainly extremely important and required. The notion of adequacy in Islam, which is derived from al-interpretation, Azhar’s namely the ideas of tawakkal and tafwidh, gives a new version to Maslow's theory, namely “Spiritual Self Actualization of Needs Motivation”, and Herzberg’s theory, namely “Spiritual Value of Herzberg Motivation”.
