The shift in the Eco-Theocratic thinking in resolving oil pollution disputes at sea by tankers is intended as a new paradigm reconstruction that is more oriented to deep ecology with an ecoliteracy perspective towards a new ecodesign environment as an equal subject to human beings resisting anthropocentrism toward society sustainable sociaty and sustainable environmental development. This concept was built through an analysis of the shift in the perspective of philosophical figures from the organic paradigm of nature to the mechanistic paradigm of new nature and paradigms in looking at nature systemically, holistically and ecologically. This new ecoliteracy paradigm is analyzed through a system of democracy, ecocracy and theocracy with a measure of theology and paradigm of the Pancasila.

Soil and surface water contamination by used lubricating oil is a common occurrence in most developing countries. This has been shown to have harmful effects on the environment and human beings at large. Bioremediation can be an alternative green technology for remediation of such hydrocarbon-contaminated soil. Bioremediation of soil contaminated with 5% and 15% (w/w) used lubricating oil and amended with 10% brewery spent grain (BSG), banana skin (BS), and spent mushroom compost (SMC) was studied for a period of 84 days, under laboratory condition. At the end of 84 days, the highest percentage of oil biodegradation (92%) was recorded in soil contaminated with 5% used lubricating oil and amended with BSG, while only 55% of oil biodegradation was recorded in soil contaminated with 15% used lubricating oil and amended with BSG. Results of first-order kinetic model to determine the rate of biodegradation of used lubricating oil revealed that soil amended with BSG recorded the highest rate of oil biodegradation (0.4361 day−1) in 5% oil pollution, while BS amended soil recorded the highest rate of oil biodegradation (0.0556 day−1) in 15% oil pollution. The results of this study demonstrated the potential of BSG as a good substrate for enhanced remediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil at low pollution concentration.

Thinking Mode

In the era of big data, with the development of computer technology, especially the comprehensive popularization of mobile terminal device and the gradual construction of the Internet of Things, the urban physical environment and social environment have been comprehensively digitized and quantified. Computational thinking mode has gradually become a new thinking mode for human beings to recognize and govern urban complex system. Meanwhile computational urban science has become the main discipline development aspect of modern urban planning. Computational thinking is the thinking of computer science using algorithms based on time complexity and space complexity, which provides a new paradigm for the construction of index system, data collection, data storage, data analysis, pattern recognition, dynamic governance in the process of scientific planning and urban management. Based on this, this paper takes the computational thinking mode of urban planning discipline in big data era as the research object, takes the scientific construction of computational urban planning as the research purpose, and adopts literature research methods and interdisciplinary research methods, comprehensively studies the connotation of the computing thinking mode of computer science. Meanwhile, this paper systematically discusses the system construction of urban computing, model generation, the theory and method of digital twinning, as well as the popularization of the computational thinking mode of urban and rural planning discipline and the scientific research of computational urban planning, which responds to the needs of the era of the development of urban and rural planning disciplines in the era of big data.

A avalanche cultural da técnica ameaça o ser humano em sua essência e na continuidade da vida equilibrada no planeta. Hans Jonas é hoje o filósofo mais importante na crítica ao modelo tecnocêntrico de civilização, e promotor dos princípios de precaução, de consideração com os seres não humanos e com as gerações futuras. O olhar ecológico e o resgate ético de Jonas são lapidares na construção do novo paradigma para o tempo que advém.Abstract: The cultural avalanche of technology threatens the human being in his/her essence and the continuity of the planet’s balanced life. Hans Jonas is today the most important philosopher in the critique of the techno-centric model of civilization and a major advocate of the principles of precaution, and of the concern for the non-human beings and for future generations. Jonas’ ecological views and ethical retrieval are essential elements in the construction of the new paradigm for the immediate future.

Although a societal consensus has been reached about the partnership between human beings and smart machines, limited research has been carried out to consider advances in its combination pattern, function mechanism, and developing creativity. Based on occurred disruptive changes form theory to practice, a new paradigm of co-creation by synergistic human-machine is proposed, which refers to that interaction of human-machine learning in a holistic system increase complementarity of abilities and integration of wisdom to realize an augmented synergy made up of hybrid intelligences. This augmented intelligence can effectively account for shifts in business logic and the productive solutions to the multiple complex problems during smart manufacturing. It has been discovered that the positive consequences of synergistic human-machine co-creation include not only sustainable labor patterns, but the ability to overcome multiple complexities and steadily increase business value. All this is further elaborated in the Baizhentang Foods case. This paper discusses the main prospects of the theoretical developments presented here for future research on organizational behavior and a synergistic human-machine structure.

E. F. Schumacher, the author of Small Is Beautifit said, "We are atwar with Nature and if by chance we win the war, we shall be the loser."This paradox of modem humanity is not universally accepted. However,there is hardly any visible sign of a deceleration in humanity's unilateralwar against the environment. Consequently, humanity is drawing closerand nearer to an imminent debacle.Although "the voices of peace" for solving the crisis could be heardas early as the late 194Os, their mediation has come to be regarded asvaluable only recently. As a result, the global environmental movementhas started shaping the course of developmental strategies. But, unfortunately,the growing concern over environmental devastation is still superficialand not viewed holistically. The ongoing concerns are limited to theextent of the exploitation of natural murces and the sustainability of thedevelopmental processes. However, a few voices that consider the predicamentfrom a holistic viewpoint and in a perspective of "deep ecology"are certainly audible in the global debate. The proponents of the holisticapproach feel that humanity's present awareness of the environmental crisisis not sufficient. What is needed, according to them, is a dispassionateecological consciousness emanating from the synthesis of the completeexperience of humanity since the dawn of civilization and also taking intoconsideration all facets of the ultimate reality.The New Ecological RealismFor quite some time, a relational perspective has been stressed in discussionsabout understanding and solving the ecological crisis. Accordingto this viewpoint, "nature is a web of relations" and therefore "denial ofrelationality is denial of being" (Skolimowski 1991). Furthermore, it expandsthe frontiers of the relationality of the human community to thegreater relationality of all biotic and abiotic members of the biosphere andbeyond. A concept of "the cosmic family" has been envisaged by advocatesof this vision, and humanity is expected to mold its behavior patternsso that human beings can fulfill their obligations towards the vastfamily and honor all relations while deriving benefits from the ~esourcepool of their cultural and physical environments.In its wake, a movement for deep ecology has been proposed. Theterm "deep ecology" signifies the encouragement of a more profound ...

The Relationship

The paper aims to lay out a critical analysis of eco-aesthetical wisdom of pan-Indian society through the lens of ancient seers whose insights for environment and ecology were shaped in the form of the teachings of Vedas and Upani?ads. With the passage of time, the bond between humans and non-humans has largely weakened, and humans have increased exploiting the natural resources without caring for their regeneration. Consequent nature bred hostility is emerging as a bigger crisis in front of the 21st Century world that may sooner turn to be, if not taken seriously, an existential crisis for the whole human race. The Upani?ads enlighten us not only with the knowledge of maintaining the relationship between human beings and physical environment but also among various inhabitants of ecology. Therefore, as Deep Ecology proposes, there should be a shift from human at the centre (anthropocentricism) to ecology at the centre (ecocentrism) which very much was existing in Indian society. So, this paper attempts to deal with the global ecological crisis co-opting with the ecological/environmental ideas and attitude of the classical Indian treatises.

Human beings have passed through different technological ages, from the Agricultural Age to the Industrial Age to the Information Age. Now, a new paradigm is developing called the “Conceptual Age,” which is known as the last technological age. There are many studies about paradigm change; this article aims to integrate these studies and categorize their characteristics. One of the most famous studies on technology paradigm changing has been named the “Conceptual Age.” It has been divided into seven main categories. By using meta-study method, other related studies were collected and the results were added to the base study so that the main seven senses of Conceptual Age were expanded. An expanded and integrated framework of characteristics of a new coming technological age was written that could be used as the basis for any other research on this field.

Resurrection narratives and the doctrine of resurrectionThe article examined the closing narratives of the four canonical gospels and argued that they should be read as stories and not as historical narratives. These stories, however, show a progressive development and it is evident that the narrators of the later stories embellished the earlier narratives. Christian theologians of later centuries developed these stories into a theology of salvation and linked resurrection to the idea of death being God’s punishment for Original Sin. By doing so, they changed the Gospel of Jesus into the Gospel about Jesus. Currently, people have a different understanding of themselves and the world in which they live. Death is seen as part of the cycle of life and humans, like everything else, will not be resurrected but recycled. That is one of the reasons why Christianity is in dire need of a new paradigm that will take into account the real position of human beings in the cosmos.

Food and nutrition security involves physical and economic access to balanced diets and safe drinking water to all human beings. The challenges faced by scientists working on sustainable agricultural systems in industrialized and developing nations are different, with the former being concerned with defending the high yield levels already obtained and the latter, struggling to raise substantially the productivity per units of land, water, labour and energy without ecological harm. The new paradigm of agricultural research and development based on concurrent attention to issues of ecological sustainability, economic viability and social equity needs for its adoption intensive research on blending traditional and frontier technologies. It also needs new measurement and monitoring tools and genetic resources and enhancement centres.
