Traces of “ ancient colors “ have begun to be known to humans since humans still live in caves. Some artifactsfrom the past are still displayed beautifully in several caves scattered throughout the world with conditions thatare still very good. This means that the colors depicted on the cave walls are still very clearly visible in thedirection of the colors such as red, white, black and brown. They have used natural coloring agents derivedfrom biotic and abiotic natural resources, such as animals, plants and mineral rocks Ancient colors becamean inspiration idea for researchers to conduct more in-depth research on materials and techniques by utilizingrocks or minerals that are around us. Stone, soil, bones, mixed with animal oil or fat can become coloringagents that have their own characteristics. It is possible to develop the potential of ancient colors that exist(plants, animals, soil, water, and rocks / minerals) in the batik center area of Sragen Regency to be exploredinto batik works of a characteristic region. The purpose of this Artistic (Art creation) research is to create anatural coloring formula from ancient rocks as an environmentally friendly natural dye for batik and its applicationto batik cloth.

The world is going green; hence, environmentally friendly practices that would conserve natural resources for the future generation are encouraged. As a consequence, the world is less concerned about the numerous applications of nanotechnology, especially in the health sector; rather, it is more concerned about the sustainability of functionalized nanomaterials. Thus, the future of nanotechnology depends on its ability to ‘go green'. Green nanotechnology attempts to synthesize improved, nontoxic, and biocompatible nanomaterials with sustainable benefits using eco-friendly materials. Although green nanotechnology is considered a sustainable, viable, and biocompatible approach to the production of eco-friendly nanomaterials, there are shortcomings especially in microbial handling and process optimization. In this chapter, the authors aim to appraise not only the use of biocompatible approaches for the synthesis of nanoparticles and/or nanomaterials but also their shortcomings.

During the past decade, concern for the environment has emerged as a major socio-political issue among developed nations throughout the world and the increase in the number of environmentally friendly or 'green' products has been significant. The purpose of this exploratory study was to determine the types of products that are considered to be environmentally friendly as well as establishing consumer perceptions of these products. One of the main findings of the research was that 'green' products have achieved substantial awareness among consumers and they are not regarded as a gimmick or a fad. It was also established that the two main barriers that discouraged consumers from purchasing 'green' products were a perception that such products were not price competitive and scepticism regarding their supposed environmental benefits.

From the beginning of history, a great number of wars caused by conflict of ideologies, racial discrimination, needs to reserve natural resources, and territorial ambitions have changed global maps and streams of history with heavy damage to mankind in all parts of the world. As mentioned above, a lot of events have also happened in persons, families, and every side of society. As results of wars, conflicts, party strifes, and ets., small or great events are inevitable at home and abroad. These kinds of great or small events always follow a crisis. Good crisis management can prevent one from causing great or small events by way of overcoming national strifes and international collision. Looking back upon the past history, wars around 900 times had caused sufferings of the Korean.

Empires throughout history have had an interdependent relationship with environment. They have, above all, been concerned with expanding wealth and power, usually through extending agriculture and timber-cutting, in addition to intensifying other forms of resource extraction. Competition over natural resources, and their more efficient exploitation, spread, and improvement, has driven imperial expansion over millennia, just as environmental degradation and disease sometimes have acted as brakes on such ambitions. Attitudes toward natural resources underwent change through resource commodification, a process which has accelerated over the last two hundred years, but which, as in the past, has not precluded wholly exploitative attitudes toward nature. Empires also connected and mobilized formerly geographically disparate people, organisms, and commodities around the world. And they utilized and facilitated the spread of technology, including that for exploiting natural resources, something especially evident through steam technology.

Donkeys have a long history in the development of human societies. Typically referred to as a beast of burden, traditional uses for donkeys have included the transportation of goods and people, use in agricultural and forestry activities, to access water, and provide citizens in low- and middle-income countries a means of making an income for communities. However, the rise of mechanization, the development of modern farming techniques, and the increasing availability of motorized vehicles have led to donkeys and mules becoming redundant from traditional roles in many parts of the world. We provide examples of where donkeys have successfully transitioned from traditional roles to new, non-traditional roles in Europe and North America, and demonstrate that, although the roles and use of donkeys and mules are changing in a rapidly developing world, we can learn lessons from the past and apply them to current challenges. As the need for working equids declines in transport and agriculture, they still hold great value for recreational, therapeutic, and environmentally friendly methods of animal traction.

This keynote speech was delivered at the International Conference on Interdisciplinary and Strategic Studies (ICRIS) on August 12, 2021. It explains the concept of colonial-capitalism and highlights the importance of understanding the underlying logic of capitalism behind the praxis of colonialism. From the middle to late stages of colonialism over the past 500 years, the underlying logic of colonial conquest continued to evolve. Initially, it was the Crusades that prompted the Europeans to start their exploration but then it was the conflicts and competition among the European powers themselves that galvanised their desire to conquer the world. This speech also illustrates how colonial-capitalism has changed our view of nature and our human relationship with the natural world, which in turn has influenced how we manage our natural resources. It concludes by reflecting on how we are still living in the long shadow of the 19th century and why the struggle for mental liberation continues until today.

It is observed that environment constitutes a very important part of our life. To understand life without studying the impact of environment is simply impossible. All human activities have an impact on environment. In the past two decades, environment has attracted the attention of decision makers, scientists and even layman in many parts of the world. They are becoming increasingly conscious of issues such as famines, droughts, floods, scarcity of fuel, firewood and fodder, pollution of air and water, problems of hazardous chemicals and radiation, depletion of natural resources, extinction of wildlife and dangers to flora and fauna.

The world has experienced many developments of each economic model. The interesting thing is that, the worldwide economic development tend to be a linear development. If we see on the past, e.g. several centuries ago, the economy in the world is all on the pure form of trading. Every area, with its own communities, has different natural resources and their own made-craft. Because of the difference in the community and natural resources each area has, it results on the commodity differentiation. It can not be denied that as the time goes by, human’s needs will also develop not only in the sense of housing, clothes, and food needs but it is beyond those needs. The needs for other things and the eminence of each area of its natural resources are the factors which are finally emerging the need of exchange by inter-individuals on each area and to other areas. This is what we called as trading, in advance. By the existence of this kind of trading and the certainty of place and system, these result on the existence of what we call now as market. In the modernity context, what is explained as market here is a traditional market. The question is the existence of traditional market still relevant in the daily economic model, in which nowadays we are not in the peak time of traditional market anymore? Trading model which has capital source and orientation is being the focus of today's economy.

Disease in the Canadian Arctic has, until quite recently, been of minor concern to the world. The Eskimo and northern Indian lived in a climate which was antagonistic to contact diseases and very little attention was paid to indigenous infections. During the past decade, more and more white men have gone to the Arctic to survey and mine its abundant natural resources, and to work on such projects as the DEW Line. This influx of personnel introduced bacteria and European viruses to a native population which had no resistance or immunity to the diseases of civilization, and consequently even such mild viruses as those producing colds have caused serious illnesses and mild epidemics; the introduction of tuberculosis has had tragic results.

PANalytical believes that a crystallographic education is essential towards developing novel materials, finding innovative solutions for dealing with the scarcity of natural resources, managing global population growth and addressing climate change. PANalytical therefore strongly supports IYCr2014 organizing `OpenLabs': crystallographic education in countries around the world. We will present the past OpenLabs which already took place, emphasizing the educational aspect of it. We aim to organize each OpenLab with a theme such as mining (Ghana), culture heritage (Turkey) or non-ambient crystallography (Brazil). Furthermore and updated information can be found at: http://www.panalytical.com/en/Events-overview/IYCr2014.htm
