The article analyzes the theoretical approaches that have developed in relation to the issues of control and freedom of the Internet space, including copyright regulation and its gradual transformation as the digital environment develops and changes. Special attention is given to the values underpinning the principles of regulation are determined. If initially the dominant notion was that the Internet would ensure humanity a new free world, then later the discourse shifted to much less optimistic views and topics the issue of network regulation, technical and legal restrictions, censorship and data protection. Most recent academic literature is devoted to the practical side of the issue, and the issue of values has faded into the background. As a result, the discussion has lost significant context: issues of freedom and human rights in the Internet environment, discussion of what is really important for society - security or the absence of restrictions, the problem of users trust in the state and platforms.

Artykuł został poświęcony jednemu z najbardziej znanych dzieł Płatonowa. Fabuła „Fro” jest często interpretowana jako opowieść czysto „rodzinna”, jednakże analiza wykazuje, że treść tej opowieści wykracza znacznie poza ramy codziennej psychologii. Tekst Płatonowa zawiera wiele szczegółów, które nadają przedstawionym wydarzeniom znaczenia symbolicznego i ponadczasowego. Jest to wyraźnie widoczna w nazewniczym systemie opowieści. Umieszczone w tytule egzotyczne deminutivum Fro (od imienia – Efrosina) jest postrzeganego z „codziennego” punktu widzenia jako atrybut konkretnej bohaterki. Jednakże w artystycznej całości wypełnia on symboliczną funkcję imienia „uniwersalnego”. Imię „Fro” oznacza bowiem idealny „cel” ludzkości, uosabia ono obraz powszechnej jedności, symbolizuje nie tylko przyszłe „spotkanie” bohaterów tej konkretnej opowieści, ale także wspólnotę ludzi w całym przemienionym świecie.

This paper examines some tenets in the Andalusian and Romantic poetry and shows how poets such as Ibrahim Ibn Khafāja (1058-1138) and William Wordsworth (1770–1850) used nature as a motif in their poetry. Relying on a historical approach, this paper links smaller features such as themes and literary devices in the Andalusian and Romantic poetry with larger features, including genre, traditions, and cultural system. I argue that the emphasis on both the larger and smaller features of poetry creates what Franco Moretti calls “distant reading.” Comparing and contrasting Ibn Khafāja’s “the Mountain” and Wordsworth’s “the Daffodils,” for instance, introduces nature as a recurrent theme in both Andalusian and Romantic literary traditions, reinforcing Johann Wolfgang Goethe’s description of poetry as a common possession of humanity” (Goethe 229). In addition to that, comparing the images and themes in both the Andalusian and Romantic poetry not only shows internally linked meanings, but it creates what Cesar Domínguez, et al, call “a space for polyglottism, multidisciplinarity, scholarly collaboration” (75). Reading these works and movements closely and distantly serves as a cross-cultural dialogue between the Arabic and English poetic conventions. While Ibn Khafāja and Wordsworth lived in different places and times, wrote in different languages, and did not have the same socio-political circumstances, their poems show the richness and multiplicity of the historical experience of world literature.

Summary The text addresses the risks involving xenophobia against the Chinese on the internet, and social networks, from the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to demonstrating how irrational this manifestation is, especially the idea of virus creation in a laboratory. For this purpose, historical examples of how xenophobic prejudice is meaningless and have damaged humanity's trajectory in all world regions are addressed. Finally, I warn about the need to use science to confront the new coronavirus and abandon conspiracy theories.

No número três da revista Química Nova na Escola (QNEsc), publicado em maio de 1996 (o número 1 foi publicado em maio de 1995 e o número 2, em novembro de 1995), o artigo de abertura, de apenas uma página, foi “Sobre prováveis modelos de átomos”. Na época, a revista rompia algo que então era usual: publicar o segundo ou terceiro número de uma revista. Há 25 anos não se tinha os contadores como Google Acadêmico, mas se pode referir que, quando a QNEsc conseguia chegar aos professores da Educação Básica, o texto era considerado muito importante. Agora, pretende-se revistá-lo. Um quarto de século depois, a ciência continua encontrando mistérios ao explorar os modelos e átomos que conhecemos. Junto a isso, descobrimos que, em meio a uma pandemia que atingiu a humanidade, precisamos ser cada vez mais indisciplinares para alfabetizar cientificamente. Assim, o objetivo principal desse artigo é realizar discussões acerca da alfabetização científica e da formação de professores que atuam na área de Ciências da Natureza, a partir de uma reflexão crítica do artigo supramencionado.

Despite the reality that self-learning artificial intelligence systems (SLAIS) are gaining in sophistication, humanity’s focus regarding SLAIS-human interactions are unnervingly centred upon transnational commercial sectors and, most generally, around issues of intellectual property law. But as SLAIS gain greater environmental interaction capabilities in digital spaces, or the ability to self-author code to drive their development as algorithmic models, a concern arises as to whether a system that displays a “deceptive” level of human-like engagement with users in our physical world ought to be uniquely protected. Although many voices in the legal and technology realms have continued to argue against unique protections for digital entities, the fact at hand is that SLAIS design is becoming increasingly anthropomorphic so as to make these systems more capable of interacting with a wide range of (potentially) vulnerable populations—generally as a means to enhance these populations’ overall well-being. To frame this concern in a different way, the specific question at hand is whether a human’s “ownership” of such an advanced SLAIS is legal, considering that it (or they) may possess intelligence on par with a human or a convincing-enough display of such behaviour. Given that “ownership” over entities with (seemingly) intelligent behaviours consistent with human populations has been effectively banned by the international community, an examination into this subject and its implications is wholly necessary given humanity’s quest to exist solely in digital environments through whatever means possible.

The pandemic is creating the conditions for a new telos of globalisation to emerge in humanity’s historical consciousness, which is not expressed in ideological terms, but is instead rendered as a ...

La mercadotecnia social en su dimensión no lucrativa, ha estado presente siempre en la historia de la humanidad. Las organizaciones no lucrativas, han sido afectadas en los últimos años, debido a la disminución de los recursos y al desconocimiento de ellas en su mayoría, por la sociedad en donde operan, en gran parte por la falta de estrategias de marketing. Estas organizaciones se plantean la satisfacción del consumidor/usuario y del donante, no sólo a corto plazo, sino también a largo plazo, y a la satisfacción individual de estas figuras le añade la búsqueda de la satisfacción colectiva o del bienestar de la sociedad en su conjunto. Hay diferentes tipos de organizaciones no lucrativas de: salud, políticas, religiosas, educativas, sociales, ecológicas, etc. Todas ellas se enfocan a tratar de ayudar a resolver y atender problemas en una sociedad y para su sobrevivencia, requieren de donativos, patrocinios y voluntarios. La responsabilidad social es un comportamiento colectivo y dentro de ese comportamiento colectivo, uno de los actores es la sociedad. El objetivo de esta investigación es conocer la conciencia que tiene la sociedad moreliana de estas organizaciones, y su involucramiento, para poder determinar las estrategias de marketing adecuadas para que se conozcan más este tipo de organizaciones, porque muy pocos conocen de su existencia y de su forma de operación, por lo tanto, poco participan en ellas; con la implementación de las estrategias de marketing, se puede lograr una mayor participación de la sociedad, ya que muchos están interesados en participar en sus diferentes formas. Existen diversas organizaciones que defienden diferentes causas y atienden diversos problemas que son relevantes en la sociedad, y que la misma sociedad está dispuesta a apoyar. Esta investigación es de tipo exploratoria experimental y descriptiva, en base a un análisis documental de artículos científicos, artículos de divulgación y libros; así como el uso del instrumento de una encuesta, para mostrar los hallazgos y concluir la investigación.

Studying Anthropology of Art has been a matter of long-term qualitative research studied under Cultural Anthropology. Understanding Anthropology of Art is therefore something which involves transcending over the regimented boundaries of culture and art. Entering this complex process of interpreting anthropological aspects, we delved deep into the context and examination of Indian art and iconography. Our heritage has evidently focused very strongly on the meaningfulness of art to society, interpreting human cognition into a concrete order. The depiction of the divine union of Shiva-Parvati, is thematically represented extensively in Indian sculpture art. Regrettably, this very fascinating matter did not receive a very comprehensive consideration so far. Our purpose for undertaking this analysis is to reckon wisdom of the extant of incorporating mythological culture and rituals into present human society, diverse expressions of art, associated with different age and time period, all with a single awe-inspiring theme- The Marriage of Shiva and Parvati. Thereafter, keeping in mind the textual references available, we have kept ourselves restricted to the study, strictly coinciding with the theme depicted in Indian sculpture. Indian art has an immense affinity towards mythology and depiction of the events in a cosmic scale. Indian temple sculpture is a celebration of the divine ceremonies. Doing this, we find relevant textual interpretations and references from Kalidas’ Kumarasambhava, an epic recounting the events leading to the ‘Kalyanasundara’- the iconographical depiction of the wedding rites of Shiva and Parvati and the birth of Kartika, making the art study an extension of literary apotheosis. KEYWORDS: Anthropology of Art, Cultural Anthropology, Indian Art and Sculpture, Kumarsambhava

The Zakat Management Organization (OPZ) is an organization that is authorized or appointed by the government to collect, manage and distribute public funds related to zakat. Apart from having an impact on public health, the Covid-19 pandemic also has an impact on cross-sectors such as the economy, education and social humanity. The three sectors that are affected and are of concern to the government today are micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), vulnerable workers, and business actors in the tourism sector. In dealing with this situation, the zakat management organization (POZ) is expected to have an important role in helping the government in handling Covid-19, especially in handling the poor or mustahik who have just been affected by Covid-19.

The article considers one of the approaches to individualization of educational work. It is supposed that educational work based on the main endogenous factors of good breeding will allow to diversify the scope of educational actions and as much as possible to adapt it to specific personal features of the first-year students.Materials and methods. 620 first-year students who joined fulltime courses at Penza State Technological University in the period from 2014 to 2017 participated in the research. Research methods are questioning, a multidimensional analysis of data (factorial and cluster analysis).Results. Two groups of factors of good breeding are revealed. The first characterizes processes of spiritual and psychological new formations of the youthful period – patriotism, humanity and a level of claims. The second one – processes of new formations of the previous teenage period – ecological interests, internal culture and social tolerance. Considering main factors of good breeding, the authors identified 11 typical variations of personal development. These features allowed us to develop the scope of educational actions according to a social and psychological portrait of each group.Discussion and conclusions. The practical importance of the results of the research is finding and description of a certain set of typical variations of a social and psychological portrait of the first-year students through factors of progress and regress of good breeding. It is shown that students with high rates of good breeding have valuable relations, which are integrated into factors of patriotism and humanity, what characterizes the formation of a complete and mature personality. The high differentiation of factors of good breeding and low intra factorial integration of factorial features can be the evidence of the intensive and unfinished formation of a personality.

The background of foster children in Kemala Puji orphanage are mostly from poor families, orphans, neglected, and homeless child. The institution have been serve, nurture, and empower by providing them a sufficient living. Hence, it still needs a better improvement. This is because these children deserve to be made for the next generation. This activity aims to rise of social care between humanity in adolescents, especially for children in the orphanage. This have been done by imparting knowledge to them about healthy internet. Moreover, its increases understanding how to use the internet more healthily, properly and to anticipate of cyber bullying against them. The outcome of training activities are the youth children have been understood how to use a healthy internet, and they have been sufficient skills how to use internet which was given during the training.

Diseases in literary works are by no means just a simple physiological or medical phenomenon. Rather, they should be understood as metaphors that reflect viral or bacterial invasions, the unhealthy state in physiology and psychology, the worry of the looming death, and the goodness and evil in humanity. The novel LiaozhaiZhiyi (Strange Tales of a Lonely Studio) by Pu Songling (1640–1715) Liaozhaiis a collection of more than 100 short stories in classical Chinese and is full of disease metaphors with rich connotations. Based on the analysis of the symbolic significance of disease metaphors in this novel, this paper points out the connotations of the metaphors on diseases that reflect and represent the corrupt and destabilizing feudal order and implications about the goodness and evil of humanity.

The COVID-19 pandemic has deeply influenced people’s way of life. The need to comply with various social restrictions has posed new and previously unknown challenges to humanity. Internet here plays a significant role in helping to maintain people’s life as usual. As online behavior increases, many disputes arise therefrom grow simultaneously. It is proposed that international online disputes would be solved effectively if Internet technologies were referred to and adopted. Therefore, online litigation, a judicial method specially established to solve online disputes, provides an ideal alternative to the traditional litigation process in this regard. Such litigation can be operated through Internet courts (or cyber courts). Today the palm in their establishment belongs to China that has successfully introduce the world’s first three, and only, Internet courts. Thus, the Chinese experience has been chosen as the primary empirical support of the study on Internet courts. In this essay, a detailed review of the online litigation process will be analyzed using the example of the adopted rules and regulations for resolving disputes, as well as the judgements handed down by the Hangzhou Internet Court, the world’s first cyber court successfully resolving multiple online disputes over four years. The essay firstly reviews the current rules and procedures of Hangzhou Internet court; this would serve for a better understanding of how the world’s first Internet court is operated. After that, the essay discusses in what circumstances foreign courts can recognize and enforce Internet courts’ judgments. The essay ends up with giving personal recommendations on the future development of Internet courts to solve online consumer contract disputes.

Summary Microbial technology is exceptional among human activities and endeavours in its range of applications that benefit humanity, even exceeding those of chemistry. What is more, microbial technologists are among the most creative scientists, and the scope of the field continuously expands as new ideas and applications emerge. Notwithstanding this diversity of applications, given the dire predictions for the fate of the surface biosphere as a result of current trajectories of global warming, the future of microbial biotechnology research must have a single purpose, namely to help secure the future of life on Earth. Everything else will, by comparison, be irrelevant. Crucially, microbes themselves play pivotal roles in climate (Cavicchioli et al., Nature Revs Microbiol 17: 569–586, 2019). To enable realization of their full potential in humanity’s effort to survive, development of new and transformative global warming‐relevant technologies must become the lynchpin of microbial biotechnology research and development. As a consequence, microbial biotechnologists must consider constraining their usual degree of freedom, and re‐orienting their focus towards planetary‐biosphere exigences. And they must actively seek alliances and synergies with others to get the job done as fast as humanly possible; they need to enthusiastically embrace and join the global effort, subordinating where necessary individual aspirations to the common good (the amazing speed with which new COVID‐19 diagnostics and vaccines were developed and implemented demonstrates what is possible given creativity, singleness of purpose and funding). In terms of priorities, some will be obvious, others less so, with some only becoming revealed after dedicated effort yields new insights/opens new vistas. We therefore refrain from developing a priority list here. Rather, we consider what is likely to happen to the Earth’s biosphere if we (and the rest of humanity) fail to rescue it. We do so with the aim of galvanizing the formulation and implementation of strategic and financial science policy decisions that will maximally stimulate the development of relevant new microbial technologies, and maximally exploit available technologies, to repair existing environmental damage and mitigate against future deterioration., Clearly, to avoid, or at least delay, a scenario like that depicted above, humanity must immediately institute radical changes that drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other planet‐destroying activities, and single‐mindedly seek to develop and exploit new technologies to repair existing damage. Moreover, we must enter into more cooperative relationships with microbes and other life‐forms and, with them, devise new and transformative technologies to solve or mitigate current and future global, regional and local environmental problems. This will necessitate changes in mindsets (e.g. see Timmis and Ramos, Microb Biotechnol 14: 769–797, 2021). The next 15 years of microbial biotechnology must largely be devoted to the discovery and development of new microbial technologies that contribute significantly towards sustainability. Hopefully, during this time, humankind, with microbial assistance, will reorient its developmental trajectory to one that is consistent with the survival of Earth’s surface biosphere.

Partnerships between academic investigators and industry can accelerate the translation of research findings into life-saving products. The healthcare industry has witnessed heightened interest from universities in capitalizing on the discoveries made by faculty to create intellectual property, form new companies and seek investments. However, academic investigators and even Biotechnology start-ups may be unfamiliar with how industry sources and evaluates these opportunities. In this Comment, we share the approaches and principles by which a large healthcare company sources innovation and assesses opportunities to serve as a guide to better deal making with the goal of improving health for humanity.

Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among Iranian women. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of existential-humanity based therapy on psychological well-being and post-traumatic growth in women with breast cancer. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test and follow-up design with a control group. The population of this study insisted all the patients with breast cancer that referred to Khorramabad Shahid Rahimi Hospital in 2020. 30 patients selected randomly and assigned in two groups (15 experimental and 15 evidence), and it was asked them to answer to the Reef psychological well-being scale and post-traumatic growth questionnaire by Tedachi et al. Afterwards, the experimental group was intervened in 8 sessions of 90 minutes. After the intervention, post-test was taken from both groups and both groups were followed up again after two months. The data were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA and SPSS version 16 software. Results: The results of analysis of repeated measures ANOVA showed that the interaction between group and time was significant. Therefore, psychological well-being variable increased significantly (F=77.98, P

La responsabilidad social corporativa (RSC) debe ser un modelo de gestión que fomente la consideración hacia el medio ambiente y la obligación de hacerlo en beneficio de la humanidad. Nuestro objetivo es, individualizar los trabajos de investigación sobre la base teórica acerca del aumento de la práctica de la responsabilidad social corporativa en Latinoamérica, La base de la información son las bases de datos, de revistas indexadas, tomando como método para poder escogerlos siguientes: Ubicación geográfica Latinoamérica, durante el lapso del 2016 a la fecha, donde hubo participio de expertos, retirando aquellos que no cumplían con este criterio. Se encontró que en muchos países no se cuenta con información sobre la medición de la (RSC). Se ha concluido que no existe información exacta, ni estándares internacionales que permita la conceptualización de la (RSC), Por último, se debe profundizarse con más información de tipo estadístico, no necesariamente de artículos científicos, sino, de otras fuentes también confiables, para un análisis más profundo.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic is far from over, there is no doubt that education researchers will analyze the changes in teaching and learning over the years to come. There is no certainty that new waves and variants of COVID-19 will not force humanity to radically change educational technologies in the future. This will bring mankind closer to the predictions of science-fiction authors and futurists, not taken seriously before. In this regard, it is important to scientifically document and analyze various measures for transforming education in the current situation, thus, creating the database for future generations. Analysis reveals that geographically adjacent countries with numerous current or historical interrelations, show the uniqueness of their response to the pandemic because of a number of current economic, social, cultural and geographical factors. Quite promising in this regard are the post-socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe, which in the second half of the 20th century had almost identical principles for developing national education systems, but changed significantly under the influence of the reforms of the last thirty years. Comparing the cases of five universities from Russia, Germany, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic enable us, not only to identify common problems, but also to describe the most effective measures for the reorganization of higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic, dictated by the need to sustain the quality of teacher training. © 2021, Kazan Federal University.

The authors posit that one should not take a binary approach to business ethics because there are gradations. They propose that firms may be classified according to the following metric: Level I: The Totally Unethical Organization; Level II: The Legalistic Unethical Organization; Level III: The Superficially Ethical Organization; Level IV: The Ethical Organization; and Level V: The Totally Ethical Organization/Fully Conscious Capitalism. Firms at the lowest level of ethics are only concerned about profits and not getting caught. Firms at the highest level are advocates of conscious capitalism. Conscious business leaders aim to use capitalism to "elevate humanity" by serving all stakeholders and making the world a better place.

Objective To obtain novel perspectives regarding the effects that surgical training has on the well-being of trainees. Summary background data Improving trainee well-being is a national concern given high rates of burnout, depression, and suicide among physicians. Supporters of surgical trainees may offer new perspectives regarding the effects of surgical training and point to strategies to optimize trainee wellness. Methods This qualitative study employs semi-structured interviews of 32 support persons of trainees at a single tertiary care center with multiple surgical training programs. Interviews focused on perspectives related to supporting a surgical trainee. Interview transcripts underwent qualitative analysis with semantic and conceptual coding. Themes related to effects of training on trainee wellness are reported. Results Four themes were identified: (1)Who Can Endure the Most Hardship?-trainee attributes and programmatic factors contribute to trainees feeling the need to constantly endure the most hardship; (2)Consequences of Hardship-constantly enduring hardships has significant negative effects on wellness; (3)Trainees are Humans-trainees are people with basic human needs, especially the need for worth; (4)Research Time as Refuge-dedicated research time is treated as an oasis away from clinical hardships. Conclusions Perspectives from support persons can offer valuable insight into the wellness needs of surgical trainees. According to support persons, surgical training profoundly negatively impacts trainee wellness. Unlike during clinical training, dedicated research time is a period during which wellness can be prioritized. Programs should provide greater attention to mitigating the negative ramifications of surgical training and promoting wellness in a longitudinal fashion throughout training.

This article attempts to bring together the most important educational priorities which should be taken into consideration when planning education in a world recovering from a pandemic. Some of the priorities discussed here should have already been taken into account during the 20th century, whilst others are completely new and result from changes that have come about in the 21st century, such as increased arrogance, ignorance, authoritarianism, educational insecurity, contempt for nature, confusion and the promotion of the lies under the name of post-truth . The authors propose a holistic approach to the education process, focused on priorities. In turn, the definition of those priorities should result from the most important problems that affect humanity.

The SARS-CoV-2 epidemic, including variants, is global;hence the name “pandemic”. However, its experience varies between continents, regions, nations, as well as between socio-cultural groups within the same nation. If we target the population fringe that corresponds to a privileged third of our European capitals, it appears that its “resilience” in the face of the crisis is undoubtedly different from that of the inhabitants of Africa, Asia and South America. This choice will undoubtedly teach us less about humanity in general than about the Western man, city-dweller, graduate of higher education. However, this selective look could teach us about a fragility that threatens the human condition as such, and this, under three aspects: the relationship to death, the relationship to freedom, the relationship to authority. To each corresponds a form of revelation. © 2021 by Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia. All rights reserved.

The purpose of the study to ensuring legal certainty and order in the operation of buildings, each building must comply with the administrative and technical requirements of the building, and all work must be completed in a timely manner. There is always an apparent struggle over whether to take a position in favor of the environment or not. It is essential to exercise extreme caution in order to avert the potential of even higher losses to humanity. This study considered scenarios that may be faced by a variety of different administrations

Transdisciplinarity might be essential for the future of humanity, as a discipline and “way of being”. Synergistically with other initiatives, the “new alliance” proposed by Mariotti (J Ind Bus Econ https://doi.org/10.1007/s40812-021-00187-w , 2021) could make precious contributions to: (i) the organization of the emerging transdisciplinarity university; (ii) a better understanding of the transdisciplinary “way of being”, by contrast with artificial intelligence.

Based on the strategic needs of countries around the world, we propose some strategic policies that reflect the global needs of white spaces of innovation and establish territories of innovation for ecosystems, and a very important advance for human kind in social innovation. The reality for clean technology and an inclusive capitalism on the base of the pyramid is a real need in a world with more than 4 billion living with less than $4 USD per day. Energy Use and Water Use demand the possibility of the existence of the humanity, because we have decades expended resources, for example the scarcity of water in Australia or the excess of crypto currency in Malta, only define a world with differences that maybe the technology but in our words the clean technology can get in the interconnected need with people of the poverty world.

In connection with the rapid and catastrophic deepening of the ecological crisis, an urgent need arose to change the system of relations between humanity and nature. But the basis for this can only be a change in the consciousness of people, and it is advisable to start this process from preschool childhood. Such tasks in the upbringing of children place high demands on educators in their professional training, in particular, acquiring knowledge and developing skills. But the personal qualities of the teacher play an equally important role in this, and this is especially necessary for preparing for the environmental education of preschoolers. The example of the educator in nature conservation, his attitude to animals and plants, determines the behaviour of children in the future. So, the issue of professional training of future educators of preschool educational institutions for the ecological education of children becomes relevant.

The article deals with the eschatological model of the post-apocalyptic world, proposed by the creators of post-apocalyptic films. The division of the genre into apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic is conditional, made on the basis of plot lines, which either end with an apocalyptic event, or begin with it. The analysis of the neomythology of the post-apocalyptic world is carried out through the prism of biblical motives as the very foundation of post-apocalyptic neomythology. Neomythology as a set of interconnected symbolic stories (myths) of post-apocalyptic reality is considered within the framework of the "eschatological mythologem" of the modern cultural and religious tradition. For a more detailed analysis, the series "Wayward Pines" (2014-2016) was chosen, since it reflects the model of the future society in the post-apocalyptic world based on the use of a number of biblical motives and similar storylines. It is noticed that the image of the post-apocalyptic world, captured in the film "Wayward Pines", is the embodiment of the post-civilization stage of development, when human society completely depletes itself. the project of the Homo Sapiens Sapiens' renaissance in the post-apocalyptic world contains a number of motives of the "apocalyptic myth" (destruction of mankind, death and resurrection, free will, forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, leader consecrated by God, sacrifice, fratricating, incest, God and uprising against his will, prophet and chosen to salvation people) rooted in the tradition of the religious and cultural system of modern civilization. The universal character of their symbols is acceptable for articulation of important existential issues (the ratio of man and society, Good and evil, loneliness and collectivism, personal happiness and general good, responsibility and irresponsibility for the fate of others, preservation and loss of humanity) which face humanity in crisis times and determine the vector of further development.

People perceive cute expressions about situations or events positively or negatively. However, the conditions for how cute expression messaging would be received are less clear. In three studies, we investigated the influences of natural disaster cute expression messaging on audiences to determine the feelings the messaging engendered and perceptions of the content creator's humanity. Study 1 examined cute expression messaging effects of a natural flood disaster. Studies 2 and 3 examined cute expression messaging of the Coronavirus Disease 2019. Study 1 showed that audiences perceived someone using cute expressions to describe a natural disaster as having a lack of humanity. Studies 2 and 3 indicated that cute expressions about the pandemic caused audiences to feel disgusted, leading to a dehumanising perception towards the content creator. Moreover, Study 3 showed that dehumanising the author could further contribute to aggression. From these findings, we conclude that cute expression messaging to describe disasters could be aversive, disrupting perceptions of a shared sense of humanity, and risking aggression against the content creators.

COVID-19 disease is caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), and it was declared as a pandemic by WHO within two and half months of detection of first case. The pandemic situation induced unprecedented cooperation amongst countries, academia, public sector institutions and industry in sharing knowledge, resources and strategies. In this article, development of vaccines and their delivery system is discussed. The regulatory toxicology and clinical trials are the most important factors to ensure safety and formation of neutralizing antibodies for efficacy. The article creates awareness about the global cooperation and efforts in developing the vaccines speedily for the society. Finally, results show that all the COVID-19 vaccines trigger an immune response to enable your body to fight and kill virus and none of them cause COVID-19 disease.

Humanity often goes through structural transitions in the social model and in the economy. The accelerated dissemination of information characterizes a new globalizing and technological trend, giving new meaning to human relations and forms of communication. In this scenario, one more fact corroborated the doubts installed in postmodern society: The pandemic of the covid-19, which brought inevitable changes to the educational systems. Many professional teachers found themselves unprepared for the use of digital information and communication technologies, TDICs), at the same time that a considerable portion of students without access to the internet and , or digital resources for the development of the proposed activities is evident. In view of this, this theoretical study aimed to reflect on continuing education as a subsidy to pedagogical praxis considering the emerging reality of distance and , or hybrid education. Supported by Antunes, 2014), Bauman, 1999), Freire, 1996, 2001), Morin, 2011, 2015), Novoa, 2002, 2009, 2017) and Hall, 2001), we sought to provoke reflections around the challenges of pandemic to educational practices, which warned about gaps in the Brazilian educational system and which still persist. In this sense, it is advocated to align the practical benefits of using TDICs to non-classroom teaching, as well as harmonizing scientific advances with common well-being-in any case, the commitment to a critical, scientific and consciously citizen education remains. © 2021 UNIVERSIDADE FEEVALEÂ .

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) not only will have negative impacts on religious beliefs, but will also deepen them. Attention to Islamic teachings is significantly important in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the increased outbreak of COVID-19 in the world shows the need for humanity to pay more attention to religion and theology. Islam prevents diseases and motivates people to adhere to hygiene principles, and Islamic teachings bring about purity and health to people. However, paying attention to God, chanting prayers and focusing on spirituality are key principles in the prevention and treatment of diseases as this material cause is the divine will. Everyone is under the power of the Almighty, and everything is in his hands. Nevertheless, human beings may pass away because of COVID-19 even after passing all these stages. This is, however, related to divine destiny and is beyond the aim of this research study. One of the issues that relate religion to COVID-19 is psychological resilience, which is the topic of this study. This research study aimed at evaluating the role of religion and religiosity in the psychological resilience of 550 Muslim citizens from three cities of Aceh, Semarang and Jakarta, who had recovered from COVID-19. We applied the convenience sampling method to determine the sample size. After the distribution of questionnaires, 536 tools were considered suitable, and data analysis was performed using mean and correlation tests. According to the results, religiosity affected psychological resilience byp= 0.784. Contribution:The results of this study revealed that with increasing attention of people to religious teachings, the psychological resilience to the COVID-19 also increases.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact people worldwide–steadily depleting scarce resources in healthcare. Medical Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises a much-needed relief but only if the technology gets adopted at scale. The present research investigates people’s intention to adopt medical AI as well as the drivers of this adoption in a representative study of two European countries (Denmark and France,N= 1068) during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Results reveal AI aversion; only 1 of 10 individuals choose medical AI over human physicians in a hypothetical triage-phase of COVID-19 pre-hospital entrance. Key predictors of medical AI adoption are people’s trust in medical AI and, to a lesser extent, the trait of open-mindedness. More importantly, our results reveal that mistrust and perceived uniqueness neglect from human physicians, as well as a lack of social belonging significantly increase people’s medical AI adoption. These results suggest that for medical AI to be widely adopted, people may need to express less confidence in human physicians and to even feel disconnected from humanity. We discuss the social implications of these findings and propose that successful medical AI adoption policy should focus on trust building measures–without eroding trust in human physicians.

Humanity could face the COVID-19 epidemic to crystallize a sustainable future for the water, hygiene, and food sectors. The epidemic has affected the sustainability of water, food, and health institutions in Egypt. Water consumption levels have increased in the agricultural sector to ensure food security. Regular handwashing is one of the most important measures to prevent the epidemic, and this has an impact on water consumption. The purpose of the research is to reshape sustainable development trajectory due to COVID-19 pandemic in Egypt through three interdependent phases: the first is devoted to forecast how the pandemic could be spreading in Egypt, the second is assigned to foresee implications and consequences of the pandemic on water, food, and human activities, and the third is dedicated to exploring how Egypt could utilize non-conventional water resources as a precious resource to fight the pandemic and explore sustainable recovery strategies. The results could be summarized as the diffusion of COVID-19 pandemic may be considered a group of evolutionary processes. The vision of growth to a limit may be applied; the number of cases of COVID-19 grows rapidly, but the growth will be reduced due to negative feedback signals from the environment. The paper concludes that the COVID-19 epidemic could be addressed by enhancing the water sector to better cope with future shocks. Water, food, health, and work opportunities could be provided and managed sustainably. The need to provide water to wash the hands of all citizens has been emphasized to fight the coronavirus. Non-conventional water resources could be an engine to ambitious plans to drive economic growth through megaprojects. Egypt would enable transforming this crisis into an opportunity to accelerate the pace of action towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals.

The Faculty of Dental Surgery of the University of Strasbourg would not be the great institute it is today if it were not for an admirable, or rather extraordinary, man: Robert Frank (May 21, 1924-August 7, 2020). He was the first dean of the Faculty of Dental Surgery at the University of Strasbourg, France. He was a dynamic and notorious leader. He brought forward amazing progress-in administration, dental research, and public health at both national and international levels. He was recognized for his top-quality innovative research and elected the 60th president of the International Association for Dental Research (1983-1984). Upon retirement, he continued his commitment to advancing humanity through painting his vision of the microscopic world and developing a "nanoart" vision. Keywords: dental education; electron microscopy; evidence-based dentistry/health care; public health; publishing; scanning electron microscopy.

The purpose of this article is to illustrate how research ignites big assets; from products, patents, technology, and even the creation of new companies. Using authors' experiences, it will be shown how an antenna engineering challenge was addressed and how it ended up with a new antenna technology to bring new solutions to the Internet of Things (IoT) space. The different milestones discussed in the article will also inspire and encourage young researchers to pursue R&D career paths. The paths include plenty of hard work and ups and downs but also a very rewarding experience that, in the end, enables stunning advances in technology for humanity.

The COVID-19 pandemic taught us the importance of having scientists in public health policymaking. As with the pandemic, humanity faces another crisis at a greater scale: global climate change. Here, two carbontech researchers and Forbes 30 Under 30 honorees reflect on their unique paths toward influencing sustainable policies in government and international organizations. They reason that science advice is often ignored by governments and that we need more STEM scientists in sustainability policymaking. They also offer their advice to other young scientists who are looking to make an impact beyond academia.

O ano de 2020 está marcado por uma epidemia intitulada Novo Coronavírus, a qual mudou drasticamente o comportamento da humanidade. A partir das medidas de isolamento social adotadas, ocorreram impactos no processo de ensino e aprendizagem em estudantes e seus respectivos familiares. Busca-se com o presente trabalho contextualizar acerca de vivências de uma mestranda durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Um misto de sentimentos é vivenciado pela autora, como mestranda, na tentativa de manter a normalidade e dar continuidade ao mestrado, mesmo diante da necessidade de replanejamento rápido e das incertezas e medos oriundos da pandemia. A Universidade se reinventou e oportunizou acesso a ferramentas que mesmo à distância promoveram conhecimento. Vivenciar a pandemia, apesar da gravidade da doença e das mudanças organizacionais advindas desse contexto doloroso, implica e requer enfrentamento e adaptação no convívio institucional, pessoal e coletivo. Na formação como seres humanos, considera-se que, a partir das dificuldades enfrentadas é que emergem verdadeiras oportunidades de transformação e de inovação.

The concept that God is as unjust as the society is so eloquently portrayed in Countee Cullen’s poems “Yet Do I Marvel’’ and “Incident”. Cullen accuses God of being unjust by making him a poet. The renowned poet does not exonerate his American society from the indictment based on racial hostilities and insensitivity that seemed to have permeated the milieu. This paper addresses the questions of the indictment, racial intolerance and the significance of Cullen’s poetry to American literature. To achieve the objective of this study, the author adopts interpretive literary study and The Reader-Response approach to analyze the selected poems. The study reveals that Cullen’s poetry like other genres lives in timeless performance, is therapeutic, is a strong vehicle for the mobilization of people, and a tool for protest. The study concludes that Countee Cullen uses his poetry to indict God and American society. From the analysis of the selected poems, it is observed that poetry lives with people, is a weapon for change in any Nation and Cullen’s poetry addresses the contemporary needs of a society. His accusation of God and American society is a concern and seems relevant. What matter most is equality, justice and love for humanity? All these ingredients must emanate from the heart and transcend color for any society to attain oneness.

Mining resources have played a leading role in the development of humanity, and the demand for these raw materials is expected to increase in the foreseeable future. In addition, new technologies also require the extraction of new critical materials. These trends pose various challenges as there is a limited supply of natural resources, and standard mining and mineral processing practices are associated with significant environmental impacts, such as waste generation, energy and water consumption, and CO2 emissions. The circular economy (CE) has recently gained attention as a model to address such a complex scenario. This work analyzes the current efforts toward the application of CE in mineral processing. Although advances have been made, this review shows that the most significant material flows and environmental impacts occur near the production sites, which currently limits the closure of loops. Besides, mining industries are conservative regarding the adoption of new technologies or processing strategies, which is another hindrance to the implementation of the CE. Thus, and with few exceptions, while some sectors are already facing advanced stages of CE (namely, CE 3.0), the mineral processing field struggles to advance from the basic CE requirements (i.e, CE 1.0 to CE 2.0).

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic at the onset of the year 2020 brought unprecedented suffering to humanity. Economic activities in virtually all nations across the globe were brought to a shu...

The main objective of our study is to diagnose the state of formation of conflict competence of future managers of general education institutions using the staged experiment. The urgency of solving this scientific problem is embedded in the capacity of the managers of an educational institution to cooperate effectively with the other members of the educational process, search for consensus, prevent and resolve problems and conflicts on the basis of humanity, tolerance, responsibility, cooperation, as well as enhance the level of professionalism of teachers. The methodological tools of the study were as follows: developed by the authors' questionnaire “Conflictological competence of the general education institutions managers”, the method “Leadership effectiveness”, the test to determine the level of conflict. Our results showed that the experience of management activity created the leaders having the confidence of their forces, capabilities, rather than high self-esteem and the speed of reaction.

The changes taking place in the socio-political life of the post-Soviet countries over the past decades have inevitably entailed changes in the spiritual and moral guidelines and the content of forms of public consciousness. The problem of intercultural communication is especially relevant today in the global aspect of mutual cooperation and mutual understanding. Integration processes, transcultural interaction make the world more and more interconnected and united. Humanity is gradually and consistently moving to large-scale communication within the framework of not only countries and continents, but also the entire world community.
