The object of this paper is to connect ecology with ontology as a complex field of architectural system-based design, and more specifically, as a field worthy of aesthetic consideration. In the post-digital age, globalization seems to be one of the most important consequences for the loss of experience and meaning of space. The modern field of progress ishampered by various ideological stakes relating to the environmental and ecological awareness of place. These preclude the consideration of both the eco-systemic environmental approach, and the potential for cultural and technological evolution that is independent of new material conditions and new design tools that may be perceived as new forms of humanperception. The purpose of this paper is to connect ecology and aesthetics, with ontology as an intermediary. The human metabolic mechanism, as well as the perceptual and musculoskeletal systems, is related to a broad network of ecosystemic references. These references comprise the totality of the ecological approach, both of the environment and of the human individual and collective organization. Thus an ecological approach to aesthetics carries new methods of contemplating territories as background of human interaction. Territory is perceived as an energy threshold which corresponds to human interactions forming the principles of the Eco-ontological concept. To this end, comprehension of the territory as an Ecoontological system refers to the potential positive effect of this research based on systemic concepts with the purpose of improving living experience, especially in densely populated urban centers.

Literasi ekologi sosial Islam adalah interaksi manusia dengan lingkungan alam, teknologi, dan sosial yang didasarkan pada prinsip dasar Islam. Rekonstruksi literasi ekologi sosial Islam yang bisa direkonstruksi adalah prinsip dasar Islam yang menegaskan posisi manusia sebagai “pemimpin” yang diberi “amanah” untuk mengelola “bumi” atau “lingkungan alam dan sumber daya alam” sebaik-baiknya. Rekonstruksi literasi ekologis inilah yang kemudian akan diaktualisasikan pada masyarakat. Proses aktualisasi adalah kegiatan aktual dalam menanamkan kesadaran ekologi sosial Islam pada masyarakat yang mana dilakukan dalam ruang sosial keluarga, masyarakat, dan sekolah yang diorganisasi oleh negara melalui kebijakan dan peraturan per undang-undangan. Dengan proses rekonstruksi dan aktualisasi yang terstruktur ini, maka negara akan aktif membangun kesadaran ekologis sosial Islam dengan aktif dan terstruktur dengan baik guna mewujudkan basis kesadaran, ilmu pengetahuan, dan tata nilai ekologi sosial Islam pada masyarakat. Literacy on Islamic social ecology is the human interaction with the natural environment, technology, and social which is based on the basic principles of Islam. Reconstruction of literacy on Islamic social ecology that can be reconstructed is a basic tenet of Islam that affirms the human position as a "leader" by "mandate" to manage "Earth" or "natural environment and natural resources" as well as possible. Reconstruction of ecological literacy is then to be actualized in society. The process of actualization is actual activity in instilling awareness of the social ecology of Islam in the society which is done in the social space of families, communities, and schools organized by the state through policies and regulations. With the process of reconstruction and actualization, then the state will actively build social-ecological awareness of Islam in order to realize a base of awareness, knowledge, and values of Islamic social ecology in society.

The intent of Sandia National Laboratories' Human Interactions (HI) project is to demonstrate initial virtual human interaction modeling capability. To accomplish this, we have begun the process of simulating human behavior in a manner that produces life-like characteristics and movement, as well as creating the framework for models that are based on the most current experimental research in cognition, perception, physiology, and cognitive modeling. Currently the simulated human models can sense each other, react to each other, and move about in a simulated 3D environment. A preliminary action generation or motor-level cognition model, which transforms abstract actions generated by high-level cognition to actions that can be carried out by a simulated physical human model, has also been developed. Our work has yielded models of perceptual, spatial, and motor functioning and memory that will be embedded in upgrades to the cognitive framework.

As a result of a rapidly changing global political economy, deindustrialization, and neoliberalism, a new form of racialized urban poverty has become concentrated in the inner cities of innumerable North American urban centers. In response to these material conditions, various nonprofit organizations, corporate-sponsored initiatives,and underfunded municipal recreation departments continue to provide a range of sport-for-development programs for the ‘urban outcasts’ of the global economy. While sport scholars have widely critiqued these initiatives, little is known about how people experience these programs against the backdrop of actually existing neoliberalism (Brenner & Theodore, 2002) and the new conditions of urban poverty. As part of a three-year urban ethnography in Edmonton, Alberta, this paper examines how a group of less affluent and often homeless young men experienced and made use of a weekly, publicly funded floor-hockey program. In so doing, we explore how this sport-for-development program existed as a ‘hub’ within a network of social solidarity and as a crucial site for marginalized individuals to negotiate, and, at times, resist conditions of precarious labor in a divided Western Canadian city.

In this work, we analyze gossip spreading on weighted networks. We try to define a new metric to classify weighted complex networks using our model. The model proposed here is based on the gossip spreading model introduced by Lind et al. on unweighted networks. The new metric is based on gossip spreading activity in the network, which is correlated with both topology and relative edge weights in the network. The model gives more insight about the weight distribution and correlation of topology with edge weights in a network. It also measures how suitable a weighted network is for gossip spreading. We analyze gossip spreading on real weighted networks of human interactions. Six co-occurrence and seven social pattern networks are investigated. Gossip propagation is found to be a good parameter to distinguish co-occurrence and social pattern networks. As a comparison some miscellaneous networks of comparable sizes and computer generated networks based on ER, BA and WS models are also investigated. They are found to be quite different from the human interaction networks.

AbstractMeasurements of human interaction through proxies such as social connectedness or movement patterns have proved useful for predictive modeling of COVID-19, which is a challenging task, especially at high spatial resolutions. In this study, we develop a Spatiotemporal autoregressive model to predict county-level new cases of COVID-19 in the coterminous US using spatiotemporal lags of infection rates, human interactions, human mobility, and socioeconomic composition of counties as predictive features. We capture human interactions through 1) Facebook- and 2) cell phone-derived measures of connectivity and human mobility, and use them in two separate models for predicting county-level new cases of COVID-19. We evaluate the model on 14 forecast dates between 2020/10/25 and 2021/01/24 over one- to four-week prediction horizons. Comparing our predictions with a Baseline model developed by the COVID-19 Forecast Hub indicates an average 6.46% improvement in prediction Mean Absolute Errors (MAE) over the two-week prediction horizon up to 20.22% improvement in the four-week prediction horizon, pointing to the strong predictive power of our model in the longer prediction horizons.

This article aims to examine the role of schools in fostering an attitude of eco-literacy students and ensuring environmental sustainability by green lifestyle implementation (green lifestyle). The idea of green schools is an attempt to realize the millennial generation of environment-friendly students. To support this, it needs revitalization ecologically sound scientific schools: First, revitalization in the field of interpretation studies with an ecological approach. Second, the revitalization of jurisprudence with ecological insights. Third, develop an ecological study of Sufism. The results show that Islamic boarding schools as educational institutions have great potential to solve social problems ecologically. Pesantren can be a model of education that instils the normative ecological-religious value to foster self-consciousness and care about the environment. Therefore, it takes a revitalization of knowledge in pesantren to give birth to piety and ecological awareness among the students. Revitalization of knowledge in pesantren can be done through the internalization of ecological insight into the discipline of the religious sciences that are taught in schools. Study commentary directed at understanding the verses with a thematic-ecological approach that can provide insight into the Qur’an in a comprehensive manner to the students to interact with their environment. Jurisprudence oriented towards environmental issues that can be equipped to respond to the dynamics of Islamic legal thought that is responsive to the problems of social-ecological. Likewise, the study of Sufism is done by the redefinition of the terms of the key disciplines of Sufism, like repentance, asceticism, mahabbah, and others, thus produce an environmental ethics attitude.

These studies are important to understand the process of interaction in human relations with the creator and also relationships with fellow creatures. The research method used is a qualitative research based on content analysis approach, with the aim to be able to explore the theory of alamin used in this study. The results found that interaction was formed by the existence of one of the most basic objectives in communication, namely necessity. This concept can be understood that everything needed by humans, then must have a process of relationships in the form of interaction to be able to achieve whatever objects are needed. But the interaction process is different. Therefore human interactions have two goals. First, human interaction with the creator called the relationship X with Y. This interaction is carried out by X to Y in the form of a relationship as creator to X, provider of living facilities to X, trustee Y, and X servant Y. Second is human interaction with the universe this is called the relationship X with Z. This interaction is carried out by X to Z in the form of a Z relationship as a reference for X, a provider of mass space for X, a power provider for X, and a proof of space for the implementation of the X assignment.

Dromology is a speed that characterize progress. One of the affected is the culture of reading books. In the past people reading a book in the conventional manner, but in recent years, Internet technology has brought man reading a book in a different way, namely through the e-book. These changes ultimately led to a cultural shift in communication, especially in reading the book. The method used in this research is the study of literature. Results from the study showed that the reading culture (human interactions in a conventional book) has been turned into a reading culture that is synonymous with technology and also acceleration. Characteristics, sensations and experiences have changed. Technology (e-book) has become the new devices in cultured (communication / human interaction). Keywords: book, dromology, interpersonal communication, new culture

This research aims to uncover the relationship between Anjala Ombong Tradition and Selayar community in a geographical perspective. This study uses a qualitative design with a geographical approach. Data collected by using in–depth interview, field observation and documentation. Data were analyzed by using spatial approach, ecological approach, and regional complex approach. The results of this research show that the spatial perspective of Anjala Ombong tradition is the typical conditions of Sangkulu–Kulu River Estuary, that is: the water conditions including salinity (22%), current strength of water (0.071 m/s), water depth (1–1.2 m), and surface temperature (28oC) at July–August, the conditions are suitable for the environment of juku 'lompa. Ecological perspectives in the Anjala Ombong tradition appear in human interaction with the environment, namely the prohibition of fishing, catching juku lompa rollers, the installation of uhara, violations of the restrictions in tradition, and restrictions on fishing time. The regional–complex perspective of Anjala Ombong tradition can be seen by areal differentiation that creates interaction between one region and another, namely: the migration of juku lompa from Komba Beach headed for the Sangkulu–Kulu River Estuary and the change in the time of the tradition due to external factors.
