Krisis ekologi sudah sangat mengancam kehidupan. Berbagai bencana dan penderitaan melanda dunia. Namun, krisis ekologi masih terjadi. Oleh sebab itu, krisis ekologi mesti diatasi dengan berbagai cara. Salah satu cara yang dapat dilakukan adalah menggali berbagai potensi kearifan lokal yang ada di wilayah setempat. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menunjukkan bahwa dalam ritual nahunan yang biasanya dilakukan oleh suku Dayak Ngaju tidak hanya sekedar upacara rutin, tetapi terdapat nilai-nilai ekologis yang dapat menyadarkan masyarakat, khususnya orang Dayak Ngaju bahwa mereka harus ikut terlibat dalam mengatasi krisis ekologis yang sedang terjadi. Tulisan ini menggunakan metode kualitatif kepustakaan yakni menggali berbagai sumber yang relevan untuk membahas topik dan mendapatkan data yang dibutuhkan, kemudian akan digali internalisasi nilai yang terdapat dalam ritual nahunan tersebut. Dalam ritual nahunan ditemukan nilai-nilai ekologis yang menunjukkan bahwa terdapat internalisasi konsep bahwa alam adalah keluarga. Konsep tersebut dapat mendukung pemeliharaan lingkungan hidup melalui ritual nahunan Suku Dayak Ngaju. Konsep tersebut dapat dikembangkan untuk mendorong kepedulian masyarakat dalam memelihara lingkungan hidup. Konsep tersebut adalah berupa nilai-nilai yang menganggap alam sebagai keluarga bagi manusia.ABSTRACTThe ecological crisis is already very life-threatening. Various disasters and suffering have hit the world. However, the ecological crisis is still occurring. Therefore, the ecological crisis must be overcome in various ways. One way that can be done is to explore the potential of local wisdom in the local area. This paper aims to show that the nahunan ritual, which is usually carried out by the Ngaju Dayak tribe, is not just a routine ceremony. However, ecological values can make people aware, especially the Ngaju Dayak people, that they must be involved in overcoming the ecological crisis. This paper uses a qualitative literature method to explore various relevant sources to discuss the topic and obtain the data needed. Then, the internalization of the values contained in the nahunan ritual will be explored. In the nahunan ritual, ecological values are found, which indicate an internalization of the concept of nature as family and can be encouraged through environmental preservation in the nahunan ritual of the Ngaju Dayak Tribe. This concept can be developed to encourage public awareness of preserving the environment. The concept is expressed in the form of values that involve nature as a family for humans.

Over the last decade, the phenomenon of antibiotic resistance of microorganisms has become a global problem for modern medicine around the world. Bacteria quickly acquire genes of resistance to the action of the antibiotics. Bacterial infections that used to be easy to treat, now, in some cases, can even be life-threatening. Resistant microorganisms pose a danger not only among the adult population but also among the pediatric population. According to the World Health Organization, up to 200,000 newborns die each year from infections caused by antibiotic-resistant microorganisms. Premature babies are at particular risk because their immune systems are still underdeveloped. The use of antibiotics in children should be reasonably approached, as recent studies have shown an increase of the spread of bacteria with resistance genes. Infections caused by resistant microorganisms are more difficult to treat and require special methods and approaches, especially for children, where the choice of antibiotics is already limited. The purpose of the study is to analyze the literature for the current state of the problem of antibiotic resistance, prospects for future development, relevance in pediatric practice. Materials and methods. The research materials are publications of national and foreign authors. Analytical methods were used as main research methods. This article considers the problem of antibiotic resistance, general mechanisms of its formation, research data on the prevalence of circulation of resistant strains in the pediatric population and their role in the initiation of resistant bacterial infections. Conclusion. It is concluded that bacteria insensitive to antibiotics are quite common among the pediatric population and in some cases are life-threatening. This phenomenon requires constant monitoring in order to detect and correctly treat persistent bacterial infections. There are many strains resistant to first- and second-generation antibiotics circulating in children. In some cases, the treatment of certain conditions in pediatrics may lead to the use of reserve antibiotics. Systemic coordinated work around the world and an individual approach in determining the sensitivity of microorganisms to antibiotics in each case can prevent the rapid acquisition of resistance genes by bacteria. It is also necessary to spread information about the threat of antibiotic resistance in order to raise public awareness and counteract the empirical use of antibiotics at home without a prescription. There is also an urgent need to invent new chemical compounds with bactericidal properties as soon as possible

Since the 1918 flu pandemic, the novel human coronavirus outbreak COVID-19 has been the fifth known pandemic. COVID-19 was first identified in Wuhan, China, and later spread across the world. It is an infectious disease caused by the coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) extreme acute respiratory syndrome virus. The patients exhibit flu-like symptoms, including dry cough, sore throat, high fever, and trouble in breathing. Despite too much affords, there is no appropriate treatment or medication which is a successful COVID-19 therapy. A variety of candidate drugs are being used for the treatment and reviewed. This involves clinically accessible medications that are being repurposed for the treatment of COVID-19, such as chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, and lopinavir/ritonavir. This review describes the different aspects of corona such as history, origin and spread, its types, life cycle, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and precautions. This review makes us understand what type of virus is this and how we can take precautions to protect us from this life-threatening virus. There is an immediate need to prepare our young generation to fight against any such catastrophe in the future, if any, of science and technology. There is no reason to worry and to fight this epidemic, careful prevention and control are necessary. This article can help to create public awareness, knowledge, avoiding, handling, and treating COVID-19.

The article considers the necessity to develop the waste processing industry in Ukraine as an effective means of waste management. A situation, that consisted of formation, accumulation, storage, redoing, utilization and burial place of wastes in Ukraine, is investigational. The state of sphere of handling wastes in Ukraine after 2018-2020ррis analysed. The necessity of estimation of the state of handling biowastes is conditioned by that a problem of garbage is a most issue of the day in the world. Wastes of production and consumption exist exactly so much, how many exist humanity. To the middle of ХІХ of century, when organic materials and substances were used, wastes presented only epidemiology threatto society. But development of industry, increase of quantity and population density have formed world garbage problem. Already in ХХ of century there were artificial wastes that is not subject to utilization, that resulted in the origin of world ecological crisis. The article examines the experience of waste management in developed countries, that allows to assert that a problem of garbage is a problem of international scale, that exists in the entire countries of the world. But each nation approaches its solution from different positions. Significant progress has already been made in some countries, but the perfect form has not yet been found. The article pays special attention to the issues of analysis of the current legal framework governing the mechanism of waste management. The National Waste Management Strategy for Ukraine until 2030, adopted in 2017, has an important value in this sense. Its essence is to create conditions to improve the quality of living standards through the introduction of a systematic approach to waste management at the state and regional levels and reduce waste generation and increase their recycling for reuse. The marked indicates the need to reform the law and comprehensive solution to the problem of efficient waste management. According to the results of the study, the basic directions of solving the problem of the structural handling wastes of production and consumption in Ukraine are distinguished. Priority ones are: introduction of obligatory separate collection of household wastes; raising public awareness, educational activities; waste prevention and reuse; development of the waste processing industry and renewal of the waste management infrastructure; ensuring transparency and accessibility of information in the field of waste management.

Despite substantial improvements over the past 23 years in many key areas of sustainable development, the world is not on track to achieve the goals as aspired to in Agenda 21, adopted in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, and reiterated in subsequent world conferences, such as the World Summit on Sustainable Development held in Johannesburg in 2002. While there have been some achievements in implementing Agenda 21, including the implementation of the chapters on “Science for Sustainable Development” and on “Promoting Education, Public Awareness and Training”, for which UNESCO was designated as the lead agency, much still remains to be done. This decade had seen the idea of a “green economy” float out of its specialist moorings in environmental economics and into the mainstream of policy discourse. It is found increasingly in the words of heads of state and finance ministers, in the text of G20 communiqués, and discussed in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication. The research paper focused to establish a relationship between sustainable development and green economics. The research paper is descriptive and analytical in nature. The data collected from secondary sources such as report from niti aayog, IMF indicators, RBI reports, newspapers, journals. The research design was adopted to have greater accuracy and in depth analysis of the research study. The statistical tools for the analysis are also being used.

Psalm 104 is a majestic hymn to creation, a dynamic corollary to the more formal presentation of the creation of the world in Genesis 1. Reflection upon some of the passages provides us with insight into the biblical author’s appreciation for nature, an attitude that needs to inspire us in this age of ecological crisis. Though the biblical text is unaware of such an ecological crisis; nonetheless, passages shine forth that can speak to us in our modern age of global warming and environmental collapse.

Diabetes is one of the fastest-growing, life-threatening, chronic degenerative diseases. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it has affected 422 million people worldwide in 2018. Approximately 50% of all people who suffer diabetes are not diagnosed due to the asymptomatic phase which usually lasts a long time. In this work, a data set of 520 instances has been used. The data set has been analyzed with the next three algorithms: logistic regression algorithm, decision trees and random forest. The results show that the decision tree algorithm had better performance with an AUC of 98%. Also, it was found the most common symptoms that a person with a risk of diabetes presents are polyuria, polydipsia and sudden weight loss.

The Impact

Neurological disorders significantly impact the world’s economy due to their often chronic and life-threatening nature afflicting individuals which, in turn, creates a global disease burden. The Group of Twenty (G20) member nations, which represent the largest economies globally, should come together to formulate a plan on how to overcome this burden. The Neuroscience-20 (N20) initiative of the Society for Brain Mapping and Therapeutics (SBMT) is at the vanguard of this global collaboration to comprehensively raise awareness about brain, spine, and mental disorders worldwide. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the various brain initiatives worldwide and highlight the need for cooperation and recommend ways to bring down costs associated with the discovery and treatment of neurological disorders. Our systematic search revealed that the cost of neurological and psychiatric disorders to the world economy by 2030 is roughly $16T. The cost to the economy of the United States is $1.5T annually and growing given the impact of COVID-19. We also discovered there is a shortfall of effective collaboration between nations and a lack of resources in developing countries. Current statistical analyses on the cost of neurological disorders to the world economy strongly suggest that there is a great need for investment in neurotechnology and innovation or fast-tracking therapeutics and diagnostics to curb these costs. During the current COVID-19 pandemic, SBMT, through this paper, intends to showcase the importance of worldwide collaborations to reduce the population’s economic and health burden, specifically regarding neurological/brain, spine, and mental disorders.
