Future energy engineers will need to understand a range of diverse energy initiatives. The purpose of this paper is to present a plan for developing an Energy Engineering course for undergraduates. The course will introduce students to the concepts needed to understand the 21st century energy mix, and should help tomorrow’s leaders understand their role as stewards of the earth’s natural resources.

Vytautas Magnus UniversityKorea, with insufficient natural resources and a limited consumer market, began to take notice of the cultural content industry in the 21st century. This means that the cultivation of this industry has not taken place for a long time compared to Japan, the USA or Hong Kong. Yet Korea has obtained an astonishing outcome in a short time. The popular culture of South Korea, with the appellation of hallyu, boasted of an enormous strength initially in the Asian market and subsequently stretched to markets in other countries, too. Seeing that Korean cultural archetypes do not play a successful role in the cultural content business of Korea in general, the position of shamanism is truly trivial among the others. I would like to analyse and discuss the meaning, function and potential of Korean shamanism in the field of the Korean cultural content industry.

The authors produced a concept of emergence, evolution and expiration of Global Economic Development Models (GEDM). According to their hypothesis, the transformation of GEDMs occupies the unique intermediate position between stadial and cyclic economic changes. The article offers periodization and description of economic models that existed during the last 200 years, and elaborates on the future characteristics of the emerging GEDM of the 21st century, with special emphasis on natural resources, shifts in the global balance of power, social structures and global governance.

The paper identifies and analyzes the characteristic features of the development of Tajikjewelry art in the late 20th - early 21st centuries. The author believes that at this time, after a long period of oblivion, there is a marked way to restoration of many lost and nearly forgotten folk traditions in Tajik jewelry art. This period of time can be distinguished as a transitional period in the history of Tajik jewelry art development. This issue carries a significant value in the history of Tajikistan because the jewelry art in the period from the 80ies ofthe 20th century to the early 20th century was previously not subjected to a dedicated study, which results in certain gaps in the research of modern Tajik jewelry art. Studying the characteristics of the development of jewelry art at the turn of the 21st century and of the problems faced by master jewelers (zargars) at that time will aid in the future to identify the most efficient ways of developing this industry and facilitate its becoming one of the export-oriented areas, taking into account that the Republic of Tajikistan possesses all the necessary natural resources.

En este artículo presento evidencias que constatan cómo la prostitución es un proceso de deshumanización permanente de las mujeres, que se construye y se reproduce, como el lugar de encuentro entre el neoliberalismo y la explotación patriarcal de los cuerpos femeninos. Aporto un análisis geopolítico feminista y exploro los factores que explican el hecho de que las mujeres nigerianas Edo sean las víctimas extracomunitarias mayoritarias de trata sexual en Europa, en un contexto de expansión, sofisticación y tecnificación de la industria del sexo y la cultura prostitucional, que se expresa llamativamente en la creación de muñecas sexuales de silicona, incluso infantiles, y su evolución en robots sexuales. Expongo cómo la dinámica neocolonial, la sobreexplotación de recursos naturales, el empobrecimiento y los desplazamientos forzados, son la plataforma actual que sostiene parte del mecanismo que opera en el núcleo de la prostitución nigeriana del siglo XXI. This paper evidences how prostitution is a process of permanent dehumanization of women. This process is built and reproduced as one place where neoliberalism coincides with the patriarchal exploitation of female bodies. I present a feminist geopolitical analysis and explore the factors that explain the fact that Nigerian Edo women are the most prevalent victims of sex-trafficking in Europe. All this happens within the context of expansion, sophistication and technification of the sex industry together with the prostitution culture, which is ostensibly visible in the creation of hyper-real silicon sexual dolls –even childlike- and their evolution to sex robots. I draw on how the neo-colonial dynamics, the overexploitation of natural resources, the impoverishment and the forced displacement of people are the current platform that sustains part of the mechanism that operates at the core of Nigerian prostitution in the 21st century.
