On 13 March 2020, in the magazine Po&sie, which he founded, Deguy published a text entitled Coronation. Here, the reading of the contingent viral situation and certain concomitant events made use of his particular interpretative lens aimed at the poetic fact: the continuous exorbitance of the verbal matter from the confined space of the text, and the 'oppugnance' between its inside and outside, as a gift and its antidote. The twofold meaning of the lemma corona (here explored with reference to the tradition and to the modern poets Baudelaire, Mallarmé and Valéry) leads us back to the double status of the virus: both evil and remedy. By overflowing its borders, the virus pervades the global world, becoming a metaphor for contemporary evils and at the same time urging the critical act. We are left, as Deguy notes in La Poésie n'est pas seule, with «that homeopathic vaccine, catalysis and apocalypse, which adds to the world its end, 'precipitates' its end, is the possibility of art».

The emergence of a new virus in the global world at the end of 2019, namely Corona Virus Disease 2019, brought tremendous excitement to all inhabitants of the earth. The emergence of this virus brings tremendous concern and fear to the world because the spread of this virus is quite fast, even the most frightening is that the risk of death of people exposed to this virus is very large. Indonesia itself, cannot avoid the impact of this Covid-19 case. As a form of efforts to prevent and minimize transmission of the virus, the Indonesian government has issued a social distancing / physical distancing recommendation. This situation also causes the interaction between communities to be very limited. This situation seems to be able to eliminate hospitality among the community. This paper aims to emphasize the importance of maintaining the value of Christian hospitality in society amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

<p class="Abstract">People, products, technology, and information have influenced each other since life began. History has shown that the work of art as a man-made product in the society receives influence from many different angles such as power and technology. That influence has grown bigger and wider as globalization expands. The development in the world of technology and information gives a different yet significant impact to people’s lives. What has happened in the increased global world leads to the formation of borderless society. The intertwined cultural identities became the root of the revolutionary changing in the reinvention of <i>kebaya</i> designs. The reproduction of <i>kebaya </i>designs shows that the designs have shifted from the main stream designs to the borderless designs. The old patterns of <i>kebaya</i> are modified by combining materials and new patterns that have never been appeared in the main stream <i>kebaya </i>designs.&nbsp; Based on the above explanation, this paper explores the reinvention of <i>kebaya</i> by Anne Avantie (Indonesian remarkable designer) and the rapid distribution of the copies in this digital technology era. The result of this study shows that the borderless <i>kebaya</i> designs are well accepted by the society.<span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

At the turn of the third Millennium, significant changes have affected the global world. The contemporary world economy, the world order, international organizational and economic relations are all involved in the intensive process of global development. There is no country in the world that is able to form and implement foreign economic policy without taking into account the behavior of other participants within the world economic system. Scientific and practical analysis of the subject area of the existing research has predetermined the key objective of this article – to determine the factors of contemporary global development.

Over the last three-decades, educators and policymakers have been alarmed about the state of American education and whether the Unites States can continue to lead the world in innovation. At risk is the performance of our students and their ability to be competitive in today’s increasingly complex and challenging global environment. Clearly, while the importance of education in a global society vis-à-vis the welfare of a nation needs no defense, we must understand through real life experiences how complexity and competitiveness inform the global world.

The term “interculturality” acknowledges the complexity of locations, identities, and modes of expression in a global world and the desire to raise awareness, foster intercultural dialogue, and facilitate understanding across and between cultures. Intercultural arts is a critical component of interculturality. One of many global educational imperatives is to further understanding and engage critically in what constitutes intercultural arts. Intercultural arts practitioners and researchers play a significant role in this undertaking. A close examination of intercultural arts work and encounters unravels complex relationships among arts disciplines and ways to conceptualize and understand intercultural arts travels. Intercultural arts research sheds new insights into shared cultural and intercultural futures that need to be reimagined and co-created with a sense of ethical obligations, exploration, openness, and reflexivity. This leads to embracing a multiperspective worldview that addresses and celebrates the embodied nature of intercultural arts practices across global contexts: a worldview that is continually constructed, dynamic, and fluid, existing both within and between locations, and that connotes a particular type of ethical educational space. The study of interculturality in today’s society in general, and in actual intercultural arts practice in particular, is indispensable. For educators who want to engage in researching their professional practice in the “field” of intercultural arts, “field” is a useful agricultural metaphor for the various processes and tools used in researching intercultural arts practice. Social researchers talk, for example, about “entering the field” and “gathering” data as if venturing into the world to harvest material for processing (analysis) before its eventual distribution and consumption by a society hungrily seeking new information to build up its body of knowledge and increase its capacity for growth and improvement. However, for education practitioners researching their own professional practice, and their journey into and focus on “intercultural arts,” it will feel much more fluid and uncertain than being on dry land, and it will require them to locate and address the overlap of practice and ethical agendas in educational research.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to include the following items: to show the absolute necessity of managing the international community, to explore the fundamental possibility of managing the global world, to prove or disprove such a possibility, to determine the real background of global governance in modern conditions and to show the methods of transition toward global governance. Design/methodology/approach – The main methodological principles used in writing the paper are: the principle of the integrity of the world; the understanding of globalization as an objective historical process; the principle of historical sequence of the considered event; the principle of priority of the general over the particular, as well as of the global over the regional and the local. Findings – As a result of the proposed research, it is shown that the global world needs to be managed. Prerequisites for the management of the global world are identified, among which the most important are morality and rights. It is shown that for management of the global world there should not only be global government, but also other branches of government, such as a World Parliament and a judicial system based on global law. Research limitations/implications – A clear distinction between the management and regulation of social relations is made. The need to further explore the concepts of international law and global right is stated. Practical implications – National sovereignty increasingly must give place to global governance structures. Social implications – The need to build a global civil society is evident. Originality/value – The absolute necessity and possibility of regulating the world community are shown. New approaches to solving this problem are proposed. They are based on existing assumptions in the field of executive and legislative power and also involve the creation of new structures, primarily in the area of the judiciary.

The recent day pandemic events and its consequences in the global world famous for collapsing good many old values and routines forces scientists and scholars to find out what to say in response. Some scientists gave a formula, which is funny for the first hearing, leaning on Baron Münchhausen's unbelievable narratives, when he pulls himself out of a mire by his own hair. The global shock hitting the world washed out numerous old routines, old solutions, old methods and old tools, however, still there are only few existing answers and only first steps made how to get out from the mire. The purpose of the author is to trigger, to help and to support thinking about the path leading to something new, which is still unknown, having few weakened pillars only, and focusing on the support higher education can establish in this battle.

With the large-scale usage of coal and gasoline, China has been the most serious SO2-polluted country in the world. SO2 can cause respiratory and cardiovascular disease, which does great harm to human health. Therefore, developing an air purifier to absorb trace SO2 is very necessary. According to the mechanism of SO2 absorption with the alkaline solution, we developed an air purifier with an purification capacity of 80m3 -100m3 per hour. The purification effect with different gas flow rates, absorbing liquids and initial SO2 concentration was tested. Test results indicated that the purifier had a very good absorption of trace SO2 for indoor air. A SO2 purification model in confined space was established and the purification effect of the purifier was simulated with ANSYS FLUENT 14.0.

This article examines the phenomenon of the influence of hybrid threats on global world security in the modern conditions of globalization and the information and communication revolution. In particular, it is argued that hybrid wars have become a new type of interstate confrontation for solving military-political problems. Conflict events in post-Soviet Ukraine are considered as an example, leading to the emergence of new risks for an individual and society as a whole. At the end of the article, the author concludes that the conflict events in Ukraine, after gaining independence, have a significant impact on global security in the world. And although Ukraine is carrying out attempts to confront hybrid wars, the threats continue to be relevant, which poses the same challenges for the entire world society to counter.
