Environmental Consideration

This study aims to analyze the characteristics of traditional Buginese houses and positive features that are beneficial to response sustainability and pandemics through literature studies and field observations. The study results show that the traditional Buginese houses were built based on local wisdom and environmental consideration from the philosophy of “Sulapa Eppa" (rectangular) with the meaning "Universe". The building typology is a stilt house consisting of three levels of the room, which symbolize the human body anatomy; head (roof/house attic), body (body-house), and foot (under the house). The Buginese traditional architecture is very responsive to nature and sustainability and contains positive features in maintaining the building occupant’s health in the past according to experience and resources at that time. These positive values can inspire sustainable designs in the future.

Memory Questionnaire

Introduction. The importance of memory is not restricted to remembering the knowledge and experiences of the past retrospective memory (RM), but also to remember what an individual must accomplish in the future prospective memory (PM). Objectives. The aim of this study was to identify RM and PM levels in students with learning disabilities (LD) according to some variables (gender, grade) and to identify the differences between the two types of memories. Methods. The study followed the comparative descriptive statistics. The study sample consisted of 37 male and female students with LD in middle school. The Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire (PRMQ) was used in this study. Results. The results include the following: a statistically significant decrease from the average in PM and RM levels in students with LD, the existence of statistically significant differences between PM and RM in students with LD for the RM, the presence of statistically significant differences in the PM and RM according to the gender variable for females, and the presence of statistically significant differences in PM and RM according to the grade variable for the third grade of middle school. Conclusion. Students with LD may suffer from a decrease in their capacity to remember in the future, which causes many difficulties in daily life. We guide teachers to use external AIDS for students with LD (such as writing notes) to help students remember performing their tasks.

Vitality Scale

Our paper is a report on the past, current and future state of the endangered Pite Saami language (aka: Arjeplog Saami) spoken in Swedish Lapland. Our primary data come from interviews with Pite Saami individuals and our field observations. We estimate the vitality of Pite Saami based on the UNESCO Language Vitality Scale, taking into consideration factors such as the number of speakers, language attitudes and the quality of documentation. We also discuss the possible reasons for the decline of Pite Saami, report on the speakers’ views of other Saami languages and Swedish, consider whether there is a specific Pite Saami identity, describe revitalization efforts already taking place, and discuss the future prospects of the language.

First Time

We consider such social phenomenon as narcotism. This concept goes back to the past. However, in modern conditions there is an activation of the process destroying society and the state. In itself, the concept of narcotism is very extensive and complex, due to its specificity and the set of circumstances that characterize this concept. We consider features of drug addiction, the reasons of emergence and development of this phenomenon are revealed. There are two groups of causes of narcotism: social and physiological. The first group is the most numerous, and the second group without interrelation with social conditions some scientists don't recognize. Narcotism is a very destructive phenomenon that destroys the human body and its social personality, causes dependence. We consider the mechanism of reliance on drugs in two aspects: human adaptation to drugs, physical and mental dependence. Physical and psychological dependence is the most dangerous for a person who has used drugs for the first time. In the future, they form harmful to humans, the habit of consumption of “poison”. We reveal and consider the aspects of society destruction under the influence of this phenomenon. Narcotism has a destructive impact on society, as it contributes to the development of diseases and crime.

Over Time

Over time, as humans have come together to survive and thrive, the places they settled became a reflection of physical topography and climate, as well as the activities of the people living there. Within a region there may be similarities among places, but also slight differences. Further away, in different geographical circumstances settlements might be quite different.  Such rich cultural history provides us an identity, but also lessons for how to live sustainably into the future. New Traditional Architecture MMXX recognizes the importance of our cultural and built tradition and explores these larger themes. Alejandro García Hermida (ed.).

Abstract. Delay discounting (DD) is the process of devaluing results that happen in the future. With this review, we intend to identify specificities in the processes of DD in impulsive behavior. Studies were retrieved from multiple literature databases, through rigorous criteria (we included systematic reviews and empirical studies with adult human subjects), following the procedures of the Cochrane Collaboration initiative. Of the 174 documents obtained, 19 were considered eligible for inclusion and were retained for in-depth analysis. In addition, 13 studies from the manual search were included. Thus, a total of 32 studies were selected for review. The objectives/hypotheses, results, and the main conclusion(s) were extracted from each study. Results show that people with pronounced traits of impulsivity discount rewards more markedly, that is, they prefer immediate rewards, though of less value, or postponed losses, even though they worsen in the future. Taken together, the existing data suggest the importance of inserting DD as a tool for initial assessment in conjunction with measures of addiction and stress level, as well as the consideration of new therapies.
