The underlying principles of thought patterns as shown in SBY's English Speeches Texts are made because there are different responses from the public, a part of public praise that SBY is a good president, and others claim and criticize him that  he is slow (Djalal, 2007: forward page). This title so far has not been investigated. This research was aimed at finding out:  the underlying principles of SBY’s thought patterns in his English Speech Texts related to Javanese philosophy.

At a recent meeting of the National Committee for Co-operation with UNESCO in the Natural Sciences, Dr J. Needham, F. R. S. , first Director of the Natural Sciences Section, gave a brief report on the work of the Section. The substance of his report is as follows: The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization is part of an international plan for the promotion and maintenance of world peace, and in the domain of the Natural Sciences is one of the most effective means of strengthening the ties which bind the peoples of the world together into one human community. To quote the Report on the programme, issued in 1946 by the Preparatory Commission of UNESCO, ‘the material and cultural well-being of the common man everywhere is an essential basis for lasting world peace, and can alone give meaning and content to the promise of the Four Freedoms. But this material and cultural well-being can not be attained without the continued extension of scientific knowledge and its application to human needs throughout the world.’ The progressive and beneficial role of science in society can best be brought home to the public if statesmen ensure that science does play such a role and that all misuse of science is prevented.

Health Organization

In 2016, the World Health Organization, through the Global Cooperation on Assistive Technology Initiative, issued the Priority Assistive Products List which is meant to be a guide to member states of the 50 assistive products needed for a basic health care and/or social welfare system; it is also a model from which nations can develop their national priority assistive products lists. The aim of this opinion paper is to share my views about the Priority Assistive Products List on the grounds that it makes no distinct mention of sexual assistive devices, yet research has indicated that sexuality is an area of great concern for persons with disabilities. In any case, sexuality forms a core part of being human, and it impacts on both the physical and mental well-being of all human beings. I conclude in part that, in its present format, the list perpetuates the myth that persons with disabilities are asexual beings who are innocent of sexual thoughts, feelings and experiences. The list also propagates the stereotype that sexuality is a sacred, private, bedroom matter that should be kept out of the public domain, to the detriment of the health and well-being of persons with disabilities.

Burials had become a focal point of some Confucian efforts to build a socio-moral order based on Confucian norms. “Simple burial,” idealized by scholar-officials, used a simple pit tomb with minimal burial items, based on the mainstream Confucian tradition of rejecting literary and material expression of the concrete social imaginaries of the world-beyond. Its focus rested with a tomb inscription tablet highlighting the public accomplishments and virtue of the deceased. On the other hand, many rich merchants were able to conduct a “lavish burial,” believing that the material furnishing of the tomb would actually influence the soul’s transitional process and its well-being in the world-beyond. Nevertheless, there were some exceptional cases that did not fit into the general pattern of correlations between social groups and burial practices, which suggests that tombs tended to remain as private spaces.

The 2020 coronavirus pandemic caused countries across the world to implement measures of social distancing to curb spreading of COVID-19. The large and sudden disruptions to everyday life that result from this are likely to impact well-being, particularly among urban populations that live in dense settings with limited public space. In this paper, we argue that during these extraordinary circumstances, urban nature offers resilience for maintaining well-being in urban populations, while enabling social distancing. We discuss more generally the critical role of urban nature in times of crisis. Cities around the world need to take the step into the 21st century by accepting crises as a new reality and finding ways to function during these disturbances. Thus, maintaining or increasing space for nature in cities and keeping it accessible to the public should be part of the sustainability agenda, aiming simultaneously to strive towards SDG 3 (good health and well-being), and SDG 11 (sustainable and resilient cities).

125 scholarly articlesThe Oxford Encyclopedia of Martin Luther is a collaboration of the leading scholars in the field of Reformation research and the thought, life, and legacy of influence – for good and for ill – of Martin Luther. In 2017 the world marks 500 years since the beginning of the public work of Luther, whose protest against corrupt practices and the way theology was taught captured Europe’s attention from 1517 onward.Comprising 125 extensive articles, The Oxford Encyclopedia of Martin Luther examines:• the contexts that shaped his social and intellectual world, such as previous theological and institutional developments• the genres in which he worked, including some he essentially created• the theological and ethical writings that make up the lion’s share of his massive intellectual output• the complicated and contested history of his reception across the globe and across a span of disciplinesThis indispensable work seeks both to answer perennial questions as well as to raise new ones. Intentionally forward-looking in approach, The Oxford Encyclopedia of Martin Luther provides a reliable survey to such issues as, for instance, how did Luther understand God? What did he mean by his notion of “vocation?” How did he make use of, but also transform, medieval thought patterns and traditions? How did Luther and the Reformation re-shape Europe and launch modernity? What were his thoughts about Islam and Judaism, and how did the history of the effects of those writings unfold?Scholars from a variety of disciplines – economic history, systematic theology, gender and cultural studies, philosophy, and many more – propose an agenda for examining future research questions prompted by the harvest of decades of intense historical scrutiny and theological inquiry.

Life, as all know, is not the same as before as coronavirus.This deadly disease has affected everything around the world. This pandemic is not only affecting people with pre-medical problems, but is also affecting healthy people. Mental health is an important asset which should be considered equally to physical health.Coronavirus has a significant impact on people's well-being and mental health. The shutdown and quarantine due to coronavirus has triggered worldwide terror, anxiety and depression. Loneliness, isolation and self-destructive behavior due to lack of support by close ones, increase in unemployment, low economy and many financial problems are specific reasons due to which mental problems are prevailing. Medical professionals around the world are involved in helping all the patients affected. Number of hospitals where insufficient facilities are available to resist the virus are at enormous mental stress. Many of the frontline staff who adhere to the government's directives and policies often suffer from emotional fatigue, while the public opposes certain laws. Besides all the ups and downs due to Coronavirus one must stand strong and cope with all the difficulties and fight this outbreak.Connecting with friends and loved ones, whether using high-tech or simple phone calls, can help keep our bond in stressful days and give strength to weather this tough journey.

The Asian crisis of 1997-1998 highlighted the full value of China's foreign trade. The global crisis of 2008-2009 proved the nation’s ability to develop its economy basing on the internal factors. The heterogeneity and multi-sector structure, in combination with the ascendancy of the public sector and domination of the central government, ensure the required “depth” of country's economy development. So far, China forms zones of stability in the economies of the closely collaborating countries. During the recent crisis, China's imports fell much less than the world trade in general. Respectively, Chinese trade and economic partners enjoyed better opportunities to pass through the difficult period. In addition, one should note the desire of the Beijing authorities to smoothen the fluctuations in the market conditions, as well as to prevent overheating and overcooling of the domestic economy. This is well seen in the local stock market situation which is gradually gaining depth and becoming less volatile. China successfully manages a smooth change of the Renminbi’s exchange rate. This is directed for well-being of the Chinese producers and exporters, but objectively it is beneficial to their partners as well. China is becoming a new economic center of the world, which will attract the main trade and financial flows of the neighboring countries.

This chapter discusses how establishing well-being as a guiding construct for society ultimately requires a commitment across every sector and many fields, including health, education, technology, and environment. There are opportunities for exploration, programmatic and policy action, and leadership in the public, private, academic, and nonprofit environments, and opportunities for leaders and actors across these sectors to champion—through words and actions—this new way of looking at the world and making decisions. The well-being framework may facilitate cross-sector collaboration by resetting the goals—not around individual issues or functions, but around the much broader idea of creating the right conditions for current and future generations to thrive. That said, there are also distinct roles and starting points within each sector, and the strategy for change may look different in every case. The chapter then outlines some potential actions within each sector and examples of learnings underway. It also explains that specific considerations and opportunities exist at local, regional, and national levels of government to advance a well-being agenda.

In order to understand the phenomenon of stigma in different populations (e.g., different ethnicities, different diseases, and different conditions), this Special Issue collects papers from around the world to illustrate the stigma phenomenon. After a rigorous process of peer review, a total of 24 papers were published and included in the Special Issue. These papers were contributed from different continents and countries, including the Americas (e.g., United States), Europe (e.g., Finland), and Asia (e.g., Saudi Arabia). Therefore, the diversity of ethnicity was ensured in the Special Issue. Moreover, these papers address different stigmatized populations/conditions (e.g., mental illness, obesity, public housing, homosexuality, and transgender). The most discussed populations were those with mental illness and those with obesity/overweight. However, additional evidence on the stigma topic is still needed. Specifically, future studies could consider the following directions to explore in depth the issues of stigma in different populations: (1) using longitudinal designs to understand the temporal or causal relationship between stigma and other related psychosocial factors; (2) designing treatment programs to fight stigma—this could be carried out in healthcare providers, healthcare trainees, the public, caregivers, and the stigmatized populations.
