Harnessing Social Innovation for a Just Transition: A Case Study of Tea Industrialization in China's Era of Ecological Civilization

The narrative of 'just transition' has gained significant traction in arenas of transition research and policymaking. Social innovation can play a central role in delivering a just transition, fostering social change and providing social arrangements that enable adjustment to change. Engaging with the ‘shapeshifting’ nature of social innovation, this research conceptualizes social innovation at the core of the just transition. Through an in-depth empirical case of tea industrialization in Enshi, China, this research explores how a locally born social innovation, Enshi Yulu, has gained momentum in advancing a just transition in-the-making in a new era of ecological civilization. The empirical analysis reveals that the key to the empowerment of Enshi Yulu in driving a just transition in Enshi city lies in the introduction of updated forms of the social innovation at opportune moments. This finding underscores the importance of comprehending the context- and time-sensitive nature of social innovation in navigating the directionality of transition towards more just outcomes. The core analytical question lies not in characterizing the ultimate shape of social innovation, but in understanding how certain initiatives come to be understood as social innovation and with what implications.

The relationship between criminal and medical law in the era of cybernetic civilization

The article offers for consideration separate results of comprehensive scientific research on the relationship between criminal and medical law in the era of cybernetic civilization. Attention is focused on the issue of prospects for the formation of elements of artificial intelligence in the medical field with extrapolation and judicial proceedings regarding the criminal responsibility of medical workers. Attention is also drawn to the so-called "criminal medical cases". In the theory of criminal law, criminology and criminology, such a concept as "cases concerning professional medical offenses" is also used in relation to criminal medical cases, in the sense of intentional or negligent acts committed by medical workers in the performance of their professional duties, prohibited by criminal law under the threat of punishment . Analyzing the general issues of responsibility of medical workers for professional criminal offenses, it is proposed to consider them in two aspects of manifestation: professional medical crimes; official medical crimes. Criminal acts of medical workers, for which they are held criminally liable on general grounds, are proposed to be separated separately from the composition of medical crimes. It is shown that today one of the means of systematic resolution of legal conflicts in jurisprudence is the possibilities of achievements in the field of informatics, cybernetics for the proper management of human behavior with the use of electronic communication technologies, which is the essence of the era of cyber civilization, cybernetic society, in particular, in what determines the essence of industry artificial intelligence systems.For the qualitative creation of branch systems of artificial intelligence, legal science faces the task of properly setting tasks for the developers of such systems, taking into account the relevant regulatory and legal array, its incorporation and consolidation, including at the conceptual level. In terms of prospects for further research, it is proposed to pay attention to the problems of systemic improvement of the medical sphere of society, including for the qualitative implementation of the achievements of informatics and cybernetics, in particular through the formation of artificial intelligence. In this regard, legal science should create an appropriate array of structured, interrelated knowledge at the interdisciplinary level under the conventional name of medical and legal informatics.

Особенности социально-философского и философско-исторического подходов к исследованию цивилизационной проблематики

The author of the paper insists on the need to highlight two complementary aspects in understanding the nature of civilization. In one case, civilization is a historical era, and in the other, it is the civilizational development of individual local states or societies (local civilizations). The paper reveals the thematic field of research on civilizational issues from the perspective of socio-philosophical knowledge (including its philosophical and historical component). It is noted that the uncertainty and vagueness of the concept of civilization is largely due to the fact that its philosophical status has not yet been identified, since the concept is considered, as a rule, without connection with the system of socio-philosophical categories. An important theoretical issue is the question of civilizational self-awareness of society. i.e. awareness of oneself as a civilization. Further, the paper talks about the theoretical and practical significance of studying the level of development of local civilizations during the transition from an independent type of development to a dependent type of development. Much attention is paid in the paper to the analysis of the dependent and backward type of historical development of non-Western civilizations, which lasted during the five-century cycle of world history. The last section of the paper discusses a complex and not fully clarified question, which was posed by S. Fourier in all detail. Does civilization as a historical era have a time frame of existence or is this era forever? Today’s change in the vector of world development, the rejection of unipolarity allows the author to raise the question of the transition of humanity from the era of civilization to a new era, to the New modernity, when the further development of human society will take place according to the laws of culture.

Kultura sećanja i vojnička tradicija

In this article, author aims to offer an in-depth analysis of the place and meaning of cultural memory in the contemporary era of human civilization, observing it from the perspective of the military. By analyzing the phenomenon of cultural memory and cultural trauma, as a necessary element of cultural memory content, author recognizes and lists four key conditions, i.e. criteria that a certain historical trauma must meet in order to constitute cultural trauma. Application of the four conditions to the situation and scenario of soldiers dying in war by the author demonstrates and explains how and why soldiers' deaths in war cannot in fact constitute cultural trauma, and thus consequently cannot represent the type of suffering and death upon which cultural memory is founded on and upon which collective national identity is built. Author of the paper recognizes the specific role of military tradition as the sole instrument of preservation of memory on soldiers' sacrifices in war in order to conclude that optimal development, preservation and strengthening of military tradition in all the forms it manifests in constitutes a duty for each and every generation which wishes not only to preserve eternal and dignified memory of those who laid their lives down for their societies and collectives, but also to preserve and maintain the very essence and root of military identity.

Modern damage measurement of structural elements: Experiment, terrestrial laser scanning, and numerical studies

In this modern era of civilization, with the rise of construction of structures worldwide, there has been an increasing demand for structural health monitoring and assessment, which ensures the durability and stability of structural life. Terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) is one of those state-of-the-art technologies which has simplified the structural survey and assessment. TLS can rapidly acquire millions of 3D data points from an entire structural surface with high precision in a short period of time, encompassing the physical position and geometrical details of the subjected object in the form of a digital replica known as Digital Twin (DT). A Digital Twin is the set of all digitally represented data, which can greatly benefit engineers in terms of generating a realistic 3D model of the structure and identifying the structural deformities such as deformations, displacements, surface anomalies/irregularities, etc. Despite the significant benefit of this technology, there has been limited research studies on its application and evaluation in terms of accuracy in structural monitoring and assessment. Therefore, this research paper aims to provide an experimental program that not only measures and quantifies the performance of TLS, but also evaluates its accuracy in comparison to other conventional single-point measurement equipment. In this regard, a simply supported structural beam has been considered as a structural object and subjected to monotonic loading. Meanwhile, the deformation of the beam has been captured using a few methods including TLS. The finding of this research showed that the TLS performed remarkable well with errors less than 2% compared to other accurate approaches of measurements.

Exploring digital literacy in the era of digital civilization: A framework for college students in China

Cultivating the digital literacy of all citizens, especially for college students, would contribute to the construction of a ‘Learning Society’ where everybody loves learning and would offer a powerful impetus for building a modern country. First, this paper reviews the origins and general definitions of computer literacy, network literacy, media literacy, information literacy and digital literacy. Compared with similar terminologies, digital literacy features the subjective initiatives to actively improve one’s and others’ skills, competence, awareness and thinking mode for adapting to, qualifying for and creating a new digital age and society. Second, the internal logic in the Digital Literacy Framework of College Students (DLFCS) can be summarized as ‘Skills-Competencies-Awareness’ attributing to the evolution progress of ‘digital technologies utilization, actual problems solving, and digital awareness cultivation’. Following this logic, this paper develops the DLFCS through scene-based requirements analysis and professional consultations, including three areas (i.e. operational skills, applied competencies, thinking & awareness), identifying fifteen descriptors and their examples with key performances. Third, it measures the self-perception and actual performance of college students digital literacy by questionnaire, Q&A tests and task evaluation, and validates the completeness and validity of the DLFCS by Pearson correlation analysis of datasets collected in three modes. The results indicate that (a) the fifteen descriptors in DLFCS basically cover the essential areas of digital literacy with extremely weak correlations among them, (b) the relationships of progressive and intertwined ‘Skills-Competencies-Awareness’ demonstrate the validity of the internal logic and DLFCS itself, (c) to be digitally literate requires long-term and gradually-progressed cultivation and improvement, as achieving one descriptor of digital literacy proficiently does not guarantee good performance on the other descriptors.

The Transmission System of the Greco-Arabic Translation Movement during the Abbasid Era and its Philosophical Contribution

<em>This study aims to determine the factors underlying the occurrence of the Greco-Arabic Translation Movement, how its process takes place, how the translation transmission system works, who are the figures behind it, and what its contributions are to the advancement of philosophy. This article uses the qualitative method through library research with data sources in the form of historical books written in the Abbasid dynasty, a book titled ‘Greek Thought, Arabic Culture’ by Dimitri Gutas, and articles related to the object of research. It can be concluded that the factors underlying the occurrence of the translation movement were the conquests by the Arabs, the Abbasid Revolution and the demography of Baghdad, and the pre-Abbasid translation movement. Based in Baghdad, this project lasted from the 8th century to the 10th century AD. The translation transmission system applied is the Greco-Syriac-Arabic translation. Some of the figures who played crucial roles in this project were caliph al-Mansur, caliph Harun ar-Rashid, caliph al-Ma’mun, Hunayn ibn Ishaq, the Banu Musa brothers, and Thabit ibn Qurra. This movement birthed the philosophy study. This project contributed to the advancement of philosophy both in classical and modern eras of Arab civilization and the world.</em>

Reviving Minjung Theology in the Technological Era: Kim Yong-bok’s Seontopian Zoesophia in dialogue with Theo-Dao

This article explores into Kim Yong-bok’s final reflections on Minjung Theology in dialogue with Theo-Dao, a theology of Dao. Kim’s groundbreaking assertion that Minjung Theology is a sociobiography of Minjung broadens the cosmological Zoegraphy (the narrative of life) beyond historical constraints. It matures into a sapiential Zoesophia (Wisdom of Life), envisioning a Seontopia (East Asian Utopia). Minjung Theology prompts preparation for the impending ultra-technological civilization, characterized by the burgeoning evolution of artificial intelligence, marking a stride toward the future. Kim’s profound insights into Seontopian Zoesophia could serve as foundational pillars for the revival of Minjung Theology in the Anthropocene era of technological civilization. Furthermore, it extends an invitation to future theologians and scholars of religion to perpetuate this line of inquiry.

『버드나무에 부는 바람』에 나타난 소음의 의미

The purpose of this study is to explore the meaning of noise in Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows, a representative work of the Edwardian era. From the perspective of the social context, noise in this novel can be divided into two aspects: collision noise caused by class conflict and mechanical noise created by technological civilization. During the Edwardian period, the conflict between the upper class and the working class was deepening while the advent of automobiles was ushering in a new era of technological civilization. At times, the class conflicts would erupt into noisy public demonstrations, even rebellion. Simultaneously, new technologies such as automobiles created noises never heard before in rural environments. All of these new noises disrupted the peace and contributed to a break - down in the stable class hierarchy and the idyllic tranquility of nature. Symbolically, these noises reflect Grahame’s fear of the destruction of the established ideology and the terror of industrialization. Grahame maintains a critical stance on society by depicting the issues of class conflict and industrialization as a cacophony that he wishes to eliminate.

SCIENTIFIC TOLERANCE IN LIGHT OF THE SUNNAH AND ITS APPLICATIONS ACROSS CIVILIZATIONS

This study examined scientific tolerance as a human way to life in the context of Sunnah, a much debatable topic among critics and scholars. The study also highlighted prophetic visions in the application of scientific tolerance. Using a normative descriptive approach in this qualitative research, the data was collected from library archives and Islamic data sources. This approach enabled to raise questions about the nature of scientific tolerance in the light of Sunnah, prophetic mechanisms used to establish the scientific tolerance, and its advantages. The findings revealed that scientific tolerance was integrated to the prophetic visions and the Sunnah, aiming at peace, tranquility, and stability for the entire mankind. The study found out how the Sunnah of the Prophet laid the foundation of scientific tolerance, and how it was carried forward by the Companions and mujtahids through their discussions, dialogues, and debates. It was also observed that the scientific tolerance reached its peak in the era of Arab and Islamic civilization, through the translation movement that began in the Umayyad era and reached its culmination, and gained heights through scientific discoveries, innovations, and civilizational achievements. In the Abbasid era, the subsequent transfer and translation of these languages into Latin and other European languages, further enhanced the depth of scientific tolerance in the contemporary renaissance and modern civilization
