Moving forward, this chapter explores ways of sharing learning, as the basis for building solidarity across time and space. The first example comes from India, as workers and communities shared their research on industrial malpractices, leading to the human and environmental disaster, when more than 40 tons of methyl isocyanate gas from a pesticide plant in Bhopal, India. Research findings and experiences were shared across the globe, supporting Indian communities in their struggles for justice and a safer environment. The second example comes from London’s Docklands where communities and local workforces shared their learning over the years, developing the case for alternative approaches to planning, sharing ideas about redevelopment to meet people’s needs rather than to promote private profitability.

Space And Time

This chapter explores Isaac Barrow’s account of time and space. Barrow’s account is important, partly because it is often argued to be one of the sources that Newton drew on in constructing his absolutism. Although Barrow is usually read as a pre-Newtonian absolutist, this chapter argues that Barrow is in fact a modal relationist, identifying space and time with the relational modes of bodies. This new reading entails that Barrow’s account of time may not have played as large a role in the development of Newton’s work as has been thought, but it also raises the possibility that Leibniz drew on Barrow’s relationism.

One of these great thinkers is Alisher Navoi. Navoi's works, along with other socio-philosophical themes, uniquely express and analyze the problems of the firmament and time. Its main feature is that it is based on the divine (pantheistic) religion, Islam, its holy book, the Koran and other theological sources, as well as on the secrets of nature and the Universe, the main miracle of Allah - human intelligence, the power of enlightenment, they are the key revealing all these secrets.

Out of a total of 1025 twin births occurring in 11 South Moravian districts from 1972 to 1976, 638 occurred in the same time and space interval (P = 0.00037). The observed clustering suggests the existence of environmental factors influencing twinning rates.

Shed Light

In this study, we investigate how quantification of Wikipedia biographies can shed light on worldwide longitudinal gender inequality trends, a macro-level dimension of human development. We present the Wikidata Human Gender Indicator (WHGI), located within a set of indicators allowing comparative study of gender inequality through space and time, the Wikipedia Gender Indicators (WIGI), based on metadata available through the Wikidata database. Our research confirms that gender inequality is a phenomenon with a long history, but whose patterns can be analyzed and quantified on a larger scale than previously thought possible. Through the use of Inglehart–Welzel cultural clusters, we show that gender inequality can be analyzed with regard to world’s cultures. We also show a steadily improving trend in the coverage of women and other genders in reference works.

The article explores the meaning and usages of "communicative and cultural memory" in the context of "mental maps". It looks particularly at theories which, on the basis of constructed symbolic divisions (such as "Europe" vs. "Balkans"), connote a "lasting Balkan/European reality". The explication focuses on the content considered by these theories as specifically Balkan (or specifically Serbian) understanding of the concepts of Space and Time.

The article discusses strategies for creating presence in space and time in SKAM, in particular the way the series unfolds as event and its extended use of close-ups. Moreover, the article discusses Bolter and Grusin’s understanding of immediacy and argues that the many mobile screens as well as the series’ cross-mediality, or hypermediacy, contribute to the creation of an impression of being close to the characters and their world, in time and space.

The subject of this research is the philosophy of Shūzō Kuki, which is usually associated with his original concept, built around the concept of iki that simultaneously denotes taste, wealth, sensibility, dignity, reserve, and spontaneity, as well as embodies the aesthetic ideal formed in urban culture of the Edo period (1603 – 1868). The Japanese philosopher is also notable for a number of other intellectual insights. For depicting a holistic image on the philosophical views of Shūzō Kuki, a more extensive array of his works is introduced into the scientific discourse. A significant part of these work have not been translated into the Russian or other foreign languages. This article explores the problems of time and space, which are cross-cutting in the works of Shūzō Kuki  using examples of such philosophical writings as the “Theory of Time”, “What is Anthropology?”, “Problems of Time. Bergson and Heidegger”, “Metaphysical Time”, "Problems of Casualty”. The research employs the method of historical-philosophical reconstruction and sequential textual analysis of sources. Special attention is given to the problems of cyclical time, correlation between the infinite and the finite, and its reflection in the literary or art works, existential-anthropological landscape of space and time, spatial-temporal aspect of casualty and relevance. The conclusion is made on the contribution of Shūzō Kuki to elaboration of the problems of space and time, namely his cross-cultural approach that allows viewing the general philosophical problems from the perspective of both Western and Eastern thought, as well as a distinct  “interdisciplinary” approach towards analysis of the phenomena of space and time, which are viewed from different perspective and acquire different characteristics depending on the angle and aspect of reality of the corresponding context. Thus, there is a variety of concepts of time, which do not eliminate, but complement each other.

The internet has in fact become one with today's life. Not only has his presence changed many things in the fabric of social life, but it has also changed religious behavior. The worship behavior that has been limited by time and space, and that has become a standard for one's faith, is no longer the case. Not only related to the space and time of worship, even more than that the liturgy of the church that has been sacred has also changed. The output of writing this article is to find a formulation of the digital church. This study applies a qualitative method with phenomenological analysis. With this method, the scattered data can then be constructed in a more meaningful and easily understood theme. This research was conducted through 4 processes, namely: first describing facts based on data, second conducting an analysis of the facts found, third conducting a study of the topic from the standpoint of Christianity, and fourth finding its relevance in digital worship patterns.AbstrakInternet pada faktanya telah menyatu dengan kehidupan masa kini. Keha-dirannya tidak saja telah mengubah banyak hal dalam tatanan kehidupan sosial, tetapi juga telah mengubah perilaku keagamaan. Perilaku ibadah yang selama ini terbatasi oleh ruang dan waktu, dan itu telah dijadikan standar baku keimanan seseorang, sekarang tidak lagi demikian. Bukan saja terkait dengan ruang serta waktu peribadatan, bahkan lebih dari itu liturgi gereja yang selama ini disakralkan pun juga ikut berubah.  Luaran dari penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk menemukan sebuah formulasi ten-tang gereja digital. Penelitian ini menerapkan metode kualtatif dengan analisis fenomenologi. Dengan metode ini akan dapat ditemukan data-data yang terserak selanjutnya dikonstruksikan dalam satu tema yang lebih bermakna dan mudah dipahami. Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui 4 proses, yaitu: pertama mendiskripsikan fakta berdasarkan data, kedua me-lakukan analisis terhadap fakta yang ditemukan, ketiga melakukan kajian terhadap topik dari sudut pandang ajaran Kekristeenan, dan keempat me-nemukan relevansinya pada pola peribadatan secara digital.
