Indigenous social development scenarios must be understood as the possibility of improving the sustainability of the planet and human health in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Integrating the institutional resilience approach by learning from the experience of indigenous peoples’ informal institutions through the design of public policies can be a reality. To demonstrate the potential of this premise, a case study was conducted that examined the institutional resilience of one indigenous people, whose findings under nomothetic conditions may be useful for other territories around the world. These peoples provide lessons on how they cope with adversity, the COVID-19 pandemic being one of them. Institutional resilience is a step towards reaching out to the world’s ancestral populations to learn from their knowledge. These scenarios can help us understand the implications of international policies on the capacities of nations to secure access to food and resources and, subsequently, to be better prepared for future pandemics.

Flowers through Concrete: Explorations in Soviet Hippieland does what the title promises. It takes readers on a journey into a world few knew existed: the lives and thoughts of Soviet hippies, who in the face of disapproval and repression created a version of Western counterculture, skilfully adapting, manipulating, and shaping it to their late socialist environment. This book is a quasi-guide into the underground hippieland, situating the world of hippies firmly in late Soviet reality and offering an unusual history of the last Soviet decades as well as a case study in the power of transnational youth cultures. It tells the almost forgotten story of how in the late sixties hippie communities sprang up across the Soviet Union, often under the tutelage of a few rebellious youngsters coming from privileged households at the heart of the Soviet establishment. Flowers through Concrete recounts not only a compelling story of survival against the odds—hippies were harassed by police, shorn of their hair by civilian guards, and confined in psychiatric hospitals by doctors who believed nonconformism was a symptom of schizophrenia. It also advances a surprising argument: despite obvious antagonism the land of Soviet hippies and the world of late socialism were not incompatible. Indeed, Soviet hippies and late socialist reality meshed so well that the hostile, yet stable, relationship that emerged was in many ways symbiotic. Ultimately, it was not the KGB but the arrival of capitalism in the 1990s that ended the Soviet hippie sistema.

Summary Subject and purpose of work: Urban transport is a key element of the functioning of urban agglomerations around the world. As it is of strategic importance, the needs of its users have to be diagnosed. Due to the fact that students are the most numerous social group using public transport, particular attention should be paid to students as the real creators of the needs of urban transport. The paper aims to diagnose the challenges in urban transport shaped by the process of studentification based on the case study of Toruń. Materials and methods: The multi-stage research approach was adopted, among others a survey among students. The choice of the research area was determined by the fact that Toruń is one of the largest academic centres in Poland. Results: Toruń is experiencing the effects of the studentification process in different dimensions, including the spatial and transport facets. Conclusions: The majority of students use public transport, daily or several times a week. The most preferred means of transport is the tram owing to its relative speed and punctuality.

Access To Food

Guaranteeing access to food for a growing human population – based on sustainability criteria and in the face of the climate change threat – is the main challenge for twenty-first-century agriculture. The solutions are inevitably complex, require a variety of coordinated measures, and essentially, are dependent on the progress of science and the development of technologies to make more efficient use of available resources to increase crop yields and food quality to feed the world. Technologies such as genomics, computing, robotics, and nanotechnology, along with their correct application – which will require highly qualified users – will also be crucial elements to reach these objectives.

<p><em>The disruption era is defined as the time when so many innovations are emerging, unrecognized by established organizations that they interfere with the activities of the old system's order or even destroy the old system. The world of education must also be ready in the face of this disruption era, especially in the era of increasingly advanced technology. One of the efforts in the development of learning-based disrupted era, especially in primary school is the use of interactive multimedia. With the steps and processes of using the right interactive multimedia, using interactive multimedia as a message media will stimulate the thoughts, feelings, concerns and desires of students so as to encourage more interactive and communicative learning process and can improve the learning experience of students become more concrete. The research method used is qualitative with case study design where researchers collect and analyze data about the use of interactive multimedia in primary school. The results revealed that interactive multimedia is considered important in the effort of IT utilization in learning in disruption era but there are still many teachers who have not realized and apply it.</em></p>

Resilience Factors

The indigenous peoples are distributed in all regions of the world, representing more than 6% of the world’s population. According to UN data, the pandemic has disproportionately affected indigenous groups, aggravating the structural inequalities and processes of widespread historical discrimination and exclusion present in the Global South, for example, high rates of extreme poverty, social exclusion, high prevalence of the disease, and limited and in some cases non-existent access to health care. Also, indigenous peoples have a great wealth of knowledge, traditional practices, cultural forms, and access to natural resources, as well as forms of collective social organization and community life that result in resilience factors in response to adversity and uncertainty. In this way, the chapter focuses from a descriptive-analytical approach on the situation of indigenous peoples and the pandemic, analyzing the forms of responses, their resilient action in the face of uncertainties and structural exclusions in the Global South.

Abstract: The development of architecture is now increasingly rapid because of the many architectural concepts that have sprung up, one of which is marked by the emergence of iconic architecture in various parts of the world. Iconic architecture is a building marker of place or markers of the era and iconic buildings are usually located in strategic locations such as, crossroads, parks, and open spaces. The existence of iconic buildings greatly affects the surrounding environment, even able to market the face of the city in each country. But now many buildings are said to be iconic even though they do not meet the iconic parameters due to the lack of meaning and application of iconic principles to the building. Therefore the writer needs to conduct research on iconic concepts in order to find out the true characteristics of iconic architecture. As for this case study, the study that will be discussed is the iconic building concept in a wide-span sports facilities building, one of which is the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, while the method to be used is descriptive qualitative and the research results can be concluded that the case study of the building under study can be called a building Iconic, because in part of the Bung Karno Stadium building applying iconic characteristics. Among them: Having a building scale that is relatively large and tends to be majestic, has an attractive and attractive shape, has an element of great strength so that it has a long life, and strategic position.Keywords: Iconic, Architecture, Relative, Attractive Abstrak: Perkembangan arsitektur kini semakin pesat karena banyaknya konsep arsitektur yang bermunculan, salah satunya ditandai dengan munculnya arsitektur ikonik di berbagai belahan dunia. Arsitektur ikonik merupakan bangunan penanda tempat atau penanda zaman dan bangunan ikonik biasanya berada di lokasi yang strategis seperti, persimpangan jalan, taman, dan ruang terbuka. Adanya bangunan ikonik sangat mempengaruhi lingkungan di sekitarnya, bahkan mampu memasarkan wajah kota di setiap negaranya. Namun sekarang banyak bangunan dikatakan ikonik padahal belum memenuhi parameter ikonik karena masih minimnya makna dan penerapan prinsip ikonik pada bangunan tersebut. Maka dari itu penulis perlunya melakukan penelitian tentang konsep ikonik  agar mengetahui karakteristik arsitektur ikonik yang sebenarnya. Adapun dalam studi kasus ini kajian yang akan dibahas yaitu konsep bangunan ikonik pada bangunan fasilitas olahraga bentang lebar salah satunya yaitu Stadion Gelora Bung Karno, sedangkan metode yang akan digunakan adalah deskriptif  kualitatif dan dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa studi kasus bangunan yang diteliti dapat disebut bangunan Ikonik, karena pada bagian bangunan Stadion Gelora Bung Karno menerapkan karakteristik ikonik. Diantaranya: Memiliki skala bangunan yang relative besar dan cenderung megah, memiliki bentuk yang atraktif dan menarik, memiliki unsur kekuatan besar sehingga memiliki umur yang panjang, serta letak posisi yang strategis.Kata kunci: Ikonik, Arsitektur, Relative, Atraktif

The article analyzes the reviews of female and male fashion collections published in the “Style” supplement of the “Kommersant” newspaper during the year 2009. The “Kommersant”, the leading quality publication in Russia in the 2000s, positioned itself as a media for the financial, political and cultural elite of the country, and thus presented a case extremely interesting for discourse analysis. Namely, the world financial crisis of 2008 turned out to be a threat situation to the status quo of the elites of the moment. The situation required articulation of the belonging to the group (elite), more intense than before the crisis. I examined how the system of status markers – the discursive “semiotics of distinction” proposed to the target audience as a strategy for group identification – was constructed in the “Kommersant. Style”: the “consumption of restraint” as a metaphor for “resilience” in the face of the crisis becomes the leading recommendation of the discourse. Putting the results into the context of the 2010s, it can be realized that the idea of “restraint” in consumer behavior transcends the elitist discourse and is popularized in the field of mainstream publications.

The Impact

Sustainable development is one of the greatest challenges facing our generation and the next, and achieving this goal will force society to continuously challenge and overcome itself. In order to attain the required sustainable objectives, many companies are investing in new methodologies, such as the Kaizen-Lean methodology. This chapter focuses on a case study in the food retail industry, a strategic and one of the largest and oldest industries in the world able to thrive even in the face of substantial adversity. The authors systematized the case study in three different stages via an action-research intervention. In a first stage, they identified the most sensitive areas, which enabled them to detect and target the intervention. In a second stage, they implemented and monitored several actions supported by the Kaizen/Lean methodologies. In a third stage, a survey was applied to workers whose work areas had changed in order to analyze and assess the impact of the implemented measures.
