The paper’s purpose was to investigate the obstacles the Zimbabwean government faces as it works towards meeting Sustainable Development Goal 3, which speaks of health and well-being for all. Various obstacles were observed, such as political and economic issues, personnel leaving for greener pastures, dilapidated infrastructure, and a lack of monitoring and evaluation systems that allow tracking of the goals. The author used a qualitative method and adopted a document review for data collection. Three major documents were used: The Ministry of Health and Child Care’s national policy (2021-2025), the World Health Organization 2023 report, and UNDP’s 2020 Zimbabwe’s SDG Progress report. The researcher scanned through the documents and highlighted areas where they discussed the SDG 3 challenges faced. The results confirmed that Zimbabwe is facing numerous challenges, including a fragmented procurement system and political and economic issues. The study's practical implications are that this document may remind policymakers that the Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 3, cannot be ignored, but effort is needed to ensure that all obstacles impeding the attainment of SDG 3 are addressed. Policymakers should provide a conducive environment that allows the ministries concerned to work towards the attainment of SDG 3. Healthy people are productive, and the focus will be on improving everyone's life, hence the need for SDG 3 to be fulfilled so no one is left behind. Significant progress is made when people are protected from illness, premature death is avoided, and the overall health of the population is improved. Issues such as inequalities and poverty are eradicated, and people enjoy prosperity and justice. The study is original and seeks to contribute to the body of knowledge regarding SDG 3, the challenges Zimbabwe is facing, and how they can be addressed to protect its citizens from diseases, improve prosperity, and enhance socio-economic factors.

This study goes about to analyze the consequences of the coronavirus on human livelihood. Door to door survey has been done to collect local people's responses. To find out the effect of coronavirus on human livelihood discriminant analysis has been done and Pearson’s correlation analysis has been accomplished. For fulfillment of the objective of this study, 13 mouzas (small administrative units in India) and 1 census town have been selected as study units along the banks of river Kharkhari. The outcome of this study shows that the coronavirus pandemic impacted the reduction in the income level of people in the selected study units. People of villages were less affected by coronavirus than the people of towns. However, the effect of this pandemic is not less in villages and it has a considerable effect on income, education and health of people. There is a negative and significant correlation (r=-0.718, at 99 percent level of confidence) between COVID symptoms/affected and reduction in income level. The result of discriminant analysis reveals that the leading independent variable is a reduction in income level as it has the highest value (2.234) in the standardized canonical function coefficient table. A considerable number of school dropouts has been observed after the lockdown due to this pandemic. Field survey reveals that people are still in fear regarding a reduction in income level due to this pandemic.

Der Aufsatz beschäftigt sich mit dem Metaphysikbegriff Al-Fārābīs. Nach einem Überblick über das Leben und die wichtigsten Werke Al-Fārābīs wird die Herkunft des Namens und die verschiedenen Bezeichnungen (Göttliche Wissenschaft, Erste Philosophie, Weisheit, Theologie) sowie das Wesen von Metaphysik dargestellt. Anschließend wird Al-Fārābīs Werk „Über die Ziele des Philosophen (d. h. des Aristoteles) in jeder Abhandlung des Buches, das mit den Buchstaben bezeichnet wird (d. h. der Metaphysik) (Fī Aġrāᶁ al-Ḥakīm fī kull maqāla  min al-kitāb al-mausūm bi-l-ḥurūf)“ untersucht. Dabei ist die Unterscheidung zwischen Einzelwissenschaften und der einen universalen Wissenschaft grundlegend. Abschließend wird kurz auf Al-Fārābīs Versuch hingewiesen, das Staatswesen metaphysisch zu begründen. Im Anhang wird Al-Fārābīs „Abhandlung von den Tendenzen der Aristotelischen Metaphysik von dem zweiten Meister“ in der deutschen Übersetzung von Friedrich Dieterici vorgelegt.
