AbstractBackground: Lessons must be learned from the mistakes of the Covid pandemic. As we have seen, some countries are facing persistently high rates of covid-19 infection, but some countries such as China and South Korea can address the covid-19 problem when their country faces a surge in covid-19. This indicates that some countries facing persistently high infections may have used the wrong strategy, leaving them facing persistently high infections. The study will analyse what have been the main mistake since the Covid pandemic. Then create a system to solve the problem so that it can be used in future pandemic.Methods: Peter Chew’s "Logical Science" system focuses on logical review. The main purpose of the logical review part is to determine whether the guidelines are false. For non-medical treatment guidelines, if the logical review part determines that the guidelines are not false, real-world evidence is needed to determine whether the guidelines are correct. Similar to Mathematical Induction, The goal of the base case is to determine whether the statement (rule, formula, etc.) is false. If the sentence is not false, you need to continue to the second case, the inductive step determines whether the sentence (rule, formula, etc.) is true. Results: Using Peter Chew's "Logical Science" system, we can find wrong guidelines earlier. It can prevent continued practice of wrong guidelines, leading to persistently high infections. As we have seen, Director-general of the Chinese Canter for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), George Gao said that in his view, a big mistake in the United States and Europe is that people do not wear masks. Therefore, early detection of wrong guidelines is important to reduce high infection rates. In fact, the important lesson we can learn from China’s response to the covid-19 surge is that China will not wait for study evidence to apply non-medical prevention, such as Wuhan compulsory wearing masks on January 22, 2020.Conclusions: Prevention is better than cure. Instead of creating new medical treatment or vaccine for viruses or mutant viruses, it is better to create a system to prevent the spread of pandemic viruses. As we have seen, China and South Korea managed to solve the covid-19 surge in their countries without using vaccines in 2020. Therefore, the epidemic prevention system must be able to detect any wrong guidelines faster to prevent the use of the wrong guidelines from causing widespread spread of the virus. For pandemics, waiting for research evidence to implement non-medical prevention strategies is a big mistake, because the prime time to reduce the spread of the virus has been missed. It takes time to generate research evidence, and follow-up peer review also takes time, so the process of peer review research evidence allows the virus to spread widely, and some mutations may occur, making virus prevention more difficult to deal with.

The Second Economics Seminar of the AMSS Economic DisciplineCouncil on Islamic Economics co-sponsored by the International Instituteof Islamic Thought (IIIT) and the Association of Muslim Social Scientists(AMSS) was held Rabi‘ al Akhir 8-10, 1409/November 18-20, 1988, at theIIIT headquarters in Herndon, Virginia. The program chairman for theconference was Dr. Mohammad Safa of Southeastern University, Washington,DC and the Seminar was attended by over fifty (50) people from variousparts of the United States and Canada including academicians, Islamic bankers,and graduate economics students.Following recitations from the Holy Qur’in, the opening sessioncommenced with the welcome addresses of Dr. Taha Jabir Al-Alwani,President, and Dr. AbdulHamid AbuSulayman, Director-General of the ID”,respectively. Dr. Taha emphasized the importance of the implementation ofIslamization of Knowledge in modem social sciences particularly in economics,and the role of IIIT in this process. Dr. Taha also paid tribute to the servicesof Dr. AbuSulayman in building Islamic institutions like the AMSS and theIIIT in their formative years. He prayed for the success of Dr. ’AbuSulaymanin his new assignment as the Rector of the International Islamic Universityin Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.Dr. AbuSulayman then outlined the challenges lying ahead for Muslimeconomists in their efforts to Islamize the science of economics.Conference Program and Papers:The conference program was divided into four sessions. The first sessionwas on “Methodological Issues in Islamic Economics” chaired by Dr. RasoolM. Hashimi of Southern Illinois University. Drs. Syed Iqbal Mahdi of BenedictCollege and Masudul Alam Choudhury of University College of Cape Bretonpresented papers entitled “Methodological Issues in Islamic Economics” and“Cost-Benefit Framework in an Islamic Economic System” respectively. Thelast paper in this session was given by Shamim Siddiqui who is a doctoralcandidate at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The title ofhis paper was “Savings and Investment in an Islamic Economic System.” ...

Transnational films representing intimacy and inequality disrupt and disgust Western spectators. When wounded bodies within poverty entangle with healthy wealthy bodies in sex, romance and care, fear and hatred combine with desire and fetishism. Works from the Philippines, South Korea, and independents from the United States and France may not be made for the West and may not make use of Hollywood traditions. Rather, they demand recognition for the knowledge they produce beyond our existing frames. They challenge us to go beyond passive consumption, or introspection of ourselves as spectators, for they represent new ways of world-making we cannot unsee, unhear, or unfeel. The spectator is redirected to go beyond the rapture of consuming the other to the rupture that arises from witnessing pain and suffering. Self-displacement is what proximity to intimate inequality in cinema ultimately compels and demands so as to establish an ethical way of relating to others. In undoing the spectator, the voice of the transnational filmmaker emerges. Not only do we need to listen to filmmakers from outside Hollywood who unflinchingly engage the inexpressibility of difference, we need to make room for critics and theorists who prioritize the subjectivities of others. When the demographics of filmmakers and film scholars are not as diverse as its spectators, films narrow our worldviews. To recognize our culpability in the denigration of others unleashes the power of cinema. The unbearability of stories we don’t want to watch and don’t want to feel must be borne.

AbstractThe cost of ASD in the U.S. is estimated using a forecast model that for the first time accounts for the true historical increase in ASD. Model inputs include ASD prevalence, census population projections, six cost categories, ten age brackets, inflation projections, and three future prevalence scenarios. Future ASD costs increase dramatically: total base-case costs of $223 (175–271) billion/year are estimated in 2020; $589 billion/year in 2030, $1.36 trillion/year in 2040, and $5.54 (4.29–6.78) trillion/year by 2060, with substantial potential savings through ASD prevention. Rising prevalence, the shift from child to adult-dominated costs, the transfer of costs from parents onto government, and the soaring total costs raise pressing policy questions and demand an urgent focus on prevention strategies.
