The Rise of Alternative Proteins (Vol. 25, No. 9, Full Issue)

For the month of September 2021, APBN looks at what we can do as consumers to contribute to our global endeavour towards a greener planet. In Features, we have an article contribution by Monique Suryokusumo from Monde Nissin Corporation to share with us the current innovations in the alternative protein arena and the key factors that will integrate it into the mainstream. In Spotlights, we spoke to professors at the Singapore Institute of Technology to learn more about how the institute and its collaborators will push for a more sustainable Singapore with their key initiatives. Then, we cover the key highlights from the Future Food Asia 2021 conference, where we hear about the new developments in the agritech food space and how we may utilise technology to build a more balanced food system. Moving away from sustainability, we learn more about maternal mental health from the Third Temasek Shophouse Conversations, and we also hear from Dr. Sanjay Prabhu, who will enlighten us about a rare condition plaguing children with COVID-19 in India

Dialectical Principle

Cognitive Linguistics started from the 1980s, and it has become a mainstream since the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, which has got widespread attention, with a nickname as the third revolution in linguistic circles after the Saussurean Revolution and the Chomskyean Revolution. According to the dialectical principle of “negation of negation”, theoretical research is always advancing, thus the linguists are beginning to think of the shortcomings of Cognitive Linguistics and new developments in the future. For instance, Dabrowska (2016) pointed out the seven deadly sins of Cognitive Linguistics, which, we think, are overstated and too radical. Cognitive Linguistics has its own historical significance and makes great contributions to the criticism of Saussurean “Linguistic Apriorism” and Chomskyean “Linguistic Nativism”, but Cognitive Linguistics also has its own weaknesses, which are to be exposed in brief in this paper. We have also tried to propose “Embodied-Cognitive Linguistics as a revision in order to emphasize the philosophical views of “materialism” and “humanism” as a basic start in linguistic research.

Abstract introduction universities play a significantly important role in the development of societies. Furthermore, they have always been exposed to internal and external changes. Therefore, they are required to adapt themselves to the environment and its conditions in order to meet the needs and realize the values of society. In this regard, Universities of Medical Sciences across the country have attempted to manage their paradigmatic transition to entrepreneurship in order to synchronize with global trends. so, this study aimed to evaluate the futures faced by the higher education system in Iran in the move toward third-generation universities and globalization, using the scenario planning approach. Methods In this research, a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods were used, in three phase: I: Identifying the variables affecting the future of medical education, II: Finalizing Key Factors for Prediction and Building Scenarios (Future Estimates), Phase III: Building the Future (Scenario-making) Results Five factors, which had high impact and possibility of occurrence, were selected as the final key factors in the movement of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences toward the third-generation university. A: The ability of the system to funding the university B: stabilization of long-term policy-making towards the realization of third-generation university C: the cultural and attitudinal infrastructures of university D: Status of hardware (equipment) and software (educational contents and processes) infrastructures in this regards. Conclusion Four compatible scenarios was extracted using the Scenario Wizard Software. 1. quick move toward the third-generation universities 2. opening the wing of e-learning and virtual schools 3. turtle movement 4. alert of moving backward to first-generation universities. It seems that a proper and principled policy-making for moving toward third-generation universities is an essential goal, hence the future of this path must be clarified and a joint vision must be created.
