The COVID-19 pandemic caused volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA), and has created an unprecedented change for all organizations to either evolved or seized to exist. The dynamism due to COVID-19 has forced the HRM function to look forward to organizational agility to adapt and stay in business. The approach to make a linkage between COVID-19, organizational agility, and sustainable HRM is theoretically argued based on a resource-based theory. By conceptualizing the work of Dyer & Shafer (2014) and Nijssen & Paauwe (2012) five dimensions are identified to measure organizational agility, which includes fluid organizational design, flexible core business strategy, distributive information, fast organizational learning, and highly adaptable infrastructure and workplace design. However, further research is needed to confirm the dimensions proposed and to expand them into indicators that can specifically measure organizational agility as a variable.

The healthcare industry is increasingly relying on medical textiles, particularly single-use items such as surgical gowns, masks, and drapes, to maintain hygiene and prevent infections. However, the widespread use of these single-use textiles raises significant environmental and health concerns. These items are primarily made from non-biodegradable materials, contributing to large volumes of waste and environmental pollution. The production and disposal of single-use textiles also generate carbon emissions, further exacerbating climate change. In response to these challenges, reusable medical textiles have emerged as a more sustainable alternative. Reusable textiles offer several environmental benefits, including reduced resource consumption, lower carbon emissions, and decreased waste generation. Additionally, reusable textiles can improve occupational health by reducing healthcare workers' exposure to harmful chemicals and irritants found in single-use textiles. This study compares the environmental impact and occupational health risks associated with reusable and single-use medical textiles, focusing on factors such as carbon footprint, waste generation, and chemical exposure. Life-cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies were employed to quantify the environmental impacts, while workplace exposure measurements assessed the health risks to healthcare workers. The results indicate that reusable textiles significantly reduce carbon emissions and waste compared to single-use textiles. Furthermore, reusable textiles were associated with lower levels of chemical exposure for healthcare workers. The study concludes with recommendations for healthcare systems to adopt reusable textiles to reduce environmental and health risks, while also suggesting areas for future research on sustainable textile innovations and the integration of reusable systems in healthcare facilities.

Handling of dental disease problems requires that it be handled quickly and correctly, but not all teams of dental experts can carry out treatment quickly due to the lack of a team of dental experts who are in the workplace or hospital 24 hours a day.  Apart from that, the public also has very little knowledge of information about dental disease, so that to treat dental disease, people have to consult a dentist. To classify images of dental disease, feature extraction is needed. Feature extraction is taking characteristics of an object that can describe the image. One example of image feature extraction used is Red, Green, Blue (RGB). This feature extraction is often used to identify or classify an image. Dental image data that will be used in the classification process are tooth abrasion, anterior crosbite, cavities and gingivitis. K-Nears Neigbor is the simplest data mining algorithm.  The aim of this algorithm is to find the results of the closest distance classification for each object.  In determining the distance, the data is initially divided into two parts, namely training data and testing data. After receiving the training data and testing data, the distance from each testing data (Equilidence Distance) to the training data is calculated. The K-Nearest Neighbors method can be applied to classify dental disease based on images of types of dental disease using Matlab software. As a result of the image data training process, 40 image data were input, training results obtained were 100%.

The increasing trend of working from home since the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced new occupational health challenges, particularly regarding ergonomics. This study aimed to improve ergonomic awareness through structured education on proper work postures for home-based workers. Using a one-group pretest-posttest design, the research evaluated the effectiveness of educational interventions based on behavior change theories. Results demonstrated that interventions using the Trans-Theoretical Model (TTM) reduced Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA) scores from 5.65 to 3.95 and decreased forward head posture by 9°. Similarly, participatory ergonomic approaches increased straight back posture from 59% to 75% of work time, with a 98% participant satisfaction rate.
