Abstract: In recent time, the healthcare sector undergone a number of transformation in terms of adaptation of technology and more customer centric approach. Focusing on customer, the major challenge is to provide value based healthcare services. Patients have long obtained a passive role when receiving healthcare services. However, the emerging service-dominant logic suggests that value is always co-created between the service provider and the service recipient.

Country	:	India
Authors	:	Pradeep Gupta
	:	10.9790/487X-1908086771

Abstract: This paper is about how regulatory stress testing is rapidly emerging as one of the most powerful tools for determining bank capital levels. While it provides the authorities with unique insights into the resilience of the banking industry, it also gives banks the ability to spot emerging risks, uncover weak spots and take preventive action. The Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) in the US demonstrates that group-wide regulatory stress tests are complex, resource intensive exercises that require extensive senior management and Board engagement. The study has examined how banks carry out regulatory stress tests. To assess and manage "stress testing risk", banks need...............

Authors	:	Isidore U. Nwanaju

Abstract: Since it is a known fact that the point de depart of Nostra Aetate1 is the recognition of diversity, pluralism, and inclusiveness in modern society in its declaration more than forty years ago, it is the aim of this paper to point out the pedagogical problems and difficulties underlying the continued and intentional segregation of children from the same or within the same society based on religious belief and faith, especially in line with the noble intention of the same document to enhance mutual relations with other non-Christian religions, especially Muslims and Jews (as well as Buddhists, Hinduists) etc. There are two ways of looking at this: from the point of view of the type of education..........

Keywords: Nostra aetate, Vatican, Religions and Society

[1]. Nostra Aetate is a Document of the Catholic Church issued by the Vatican II Council Fathers on 28th October, 1965 declaring the relationship of the Church to non-Christian Religions. It is a document that promotes sincere dialogue between different religions, especially with Muslims. This is its relevance in this article contextualized in Nigeria where Muslims and Christians, as well as traditional religionists must live together as brothers and sisters.
[2]. Cf. Thelen, E. & Smith, L.B., "Dynamic systems theories", in W. Damon & R.M. Lerner (eds.), Handbook of Child Psychology vol. 1, New York: Wiley, 1998, p.587. The key feature of such dynamic systems is that they are composed of very many individual, often heterogeneous parts: molecules, cells, individuals, species. The patterns organise themselves.
[3]. We know that it was the open-minded and sincere dialogue initiated by Pope John XXIII, the convoker of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), consisting of more than 2000 bishops from all parts of the world that gave birth to the document , the "Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions" (Nostra Aetate, or "In these our times").
[4]. Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, and Islam are mentioned specifically but the teaching is not limited to those four religions. That is why the text states that the Church sees in other religions "a hidden power present in the events of human history

Abstract: Every Religion دين or ددددد has its fundamental truth, which is sometimes misrepresented by some of its own adherents and external prejudice. Such misrepresentations may lead to some myths and conceptions, which rarely present such a religion in a positive light. It happens to Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, and Islam. In this paper, we shall concentrate on Islam by projecting some of its basic truths, especially as it relates to the Qur'anic injunction to maintain a healthy relationship with others (Surah 42:43). The love of kindred advocated by the aforementioned Qur'anic verse may be extended to mean the love of our common humanity, for all mankind are.........
