Abstract: The global environmental crisis and resulting disasters today have threatened life in general, especially human life. According to Fritjof Capra, one feasible solution to this global environmental crisis is to build sustainable human communities based on what he calls ecological literacy. Ecological literacy itself stands for our ability to understand the principles of organization common to all living systems and is used as a guideline for creating sustainable human communities. Capra underlines the need to redesign our communities, including our educational communities, business communities, political communities and all aspects of our daily life, so that the principles of ecology become principles of all our human communities. For Capra, the implementation of such a sustainable society is possible to achieve through the so-called eco-design, which is both scientifically and technically feasible. Nonetheless, the success of the major project to develop a sustainable eco-literate society does not simply depend on the individual awareness of eco-literacy. It also depends on the political will of the government to issue public policies—including legislation—to force all stakeholders to act in accordance with, and based on, ecoliteracy.   Keywords: Ecological literacy, ecological principles, sustainable human community, eco-design, sautopoesis dissipative systems, natural capital.   Abstrak: Krisis dan bencana lingkungan hidup global telah mengancam kehidupan pada umumnya, termasuk kehidupan manusia. Menurut Fritjof Capra, salah satu solusi untuk mengatasi krisis dan bencana lingkungan hidup global itu adalah dengan membangun masyarakat manusia yang berkelanjutan berdasarkan apa yang disebutnya sebagai melek ekologi, yaitu kemampuan kita untuk memahami prinsip-prinsip pengorganisasi yang berlaku pada semua sistem kehidupan dan menggunakannya sebagai pedoman dalam menciptakan masyarakat yang berkelanjutan. Capra sangat menekankan perlunya merancang ulang komunitas-komunitas kita, termasuk komunitas pendidikan, komunitas bisnis, komunitas politik, dan seluruh kehidupan kita sehari-hari, agar prinsip-prinsip ekologis tersebut diwujudkan sebagai prinsip dari komunitas-komunitas tersebut. Bagi Capra, implementasi dari masyarakat berkelanjutan seperti itu dapat dicapai melalui apa yang disebutnya sebagai rancang bangun ekologis (eco-design) yang secara ilmiah dan teknis sangat layak diterapkan. Hanya saja, keberhasilan proyek besar membangun masyarakat berkelanjutan berdasarkan melek ekologi ini tidak hanya bergantung pada kesadaran moral individu akan melek ekologi di atas. Keberhasilan proyek besar itu juga sangat bergantung pada kemauan politik pemerintah untuk mengeluarkan kebijakan publik—termasuk undang-undang—guna memaksa semua pemangku kepentingan untuk bertindak sesuai dengan dan berdasarkan kesadaran ekologis tadi. Kata-kata Kunci: Melek ekologi, prinsip-prinsip ekologi , masyarakat berkelanjutan, rancang bangun ekologis, sistem autopoesis disipatif, modal alam.

Purpose Because of the outbreak of Covid 19, the entire world is thinking of new strategies, preventive measures to safeguard the human life from the widespread of the pandemic. The areas where people are affected are marked as containment zones and people are not allowed to exit out of those areas. Similarly, new people are not allowed to enter inside those areas. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to propose a methodology to track the Covid zones, to enhance and tighten the security measures. A geo-fence is created for the containment zone. The person who enters or exits out of that particular zone will be monitored and alert message will be sent to that person’s mobile. Design/methodology/approach After tracking the location of a suspicious individual, the geo-fenced layer is mapped in the area and then the virtual perimeter is used for further trapping process. This geo-fenced layer can be viewed by the citizens as soon as it is updated by the Covid monitoring team. The geo-fencing is a concept of building a virtual perimeter area. This virtual perimeter monitoring system helps in monitoring the containment zones effectively. It reduces operational costs by using an automated system based on wireless infrastructure. It also alerts the authorities immediately to catch the violators. Thus, it helps to speed up the process of inspecting the containment zones and monitoring the individuals who violate the rules given by government. Findings The proposed methodologies will be an effective way to track the Covid’s communal spread. But the workflow of the system demands the required data sets and permission in legal manner to set up the environment that maintains the constitutional law and order in practice. The application developed was a prototype to display how it works if the required data sets are provided by the government. There are several tracking models that are released across the world such as Aarogya setu (India), Trace together (Singapore) and Hagmen (Israel). All these models are based on Bluetooth proximity identification; though Bluetooth proximity identification is helpful for high range in a short distance, the privacy concern is debatable one. Using modern technology, it is so easy to crack the individual gadgets and with Bluetooth enabling it makes things even worse. Thus, it is important to maintain the tracking a safer and secure one, and another issue with those Bluetooth-based applications is that tracking can be done only if the user enabled the Bluetooth option, if not the entire functioning would become a mess. The proposed methodology of tracking without Bluetooth will ensure data security also. Originality/value This was developed as a project by our third-year students of the Department of Information Technology of our college.

AbstractWhen we abandon the neoliberal fiction that one is independent on the grounds that it is a-historic and antisocial, we realize that everyone is dependent and interdependent. In a media-driven society the self-identity of the individual is formed within the framework of the culture-ideology of consumerism from early childhood. As a result, both the environmental and social destruction have intensified. In the global era, or in the era of the global environmental crisis, self-identity as a precondition for environmentally sustainable care of the self should be based on the culture-ideology of human rights and responsibilities, and on conscious self-limitation which realizes that one’s prosperity and security cannot come at the expense of others. Care of the self is about ensuring the habitability of the global environment as the primary interest of each individual.

The article considers topical issues of the threat of collapse of democracy. Examples of the democracy collapse have shown the lack of free and fair elections in the world, which threatens the independence of the judiciary, restrictions on the right to freedom of speech, which limits the ability of the political opposition to challenge the government, to prosecute, to offer alternatives to the regime. The collapse of democracy in connection with the spread of COVID-19 is being considered, as the democratic spectrum has repeatedly resorted to excessive control, discriminatory restrictions on freedoms such as movement and assembly, and arbitrary or coercive coercion. Attention is drawn to the fact that the outbreak of coronavirus COVID-19 has led to the introduction in all countries of restrictions on the rights and freedoms of the individual in order to prevent the spread of this infectious disease, declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. Thus, the unusual nature of the COVID - 19 coronavirus pandemic poses numerous dilemmas to the public, governments, parliaments, the judiciary, law enforcement and many other actors when it comes to the need for effective protection of health and, ultimately, human life, as well as adherence to and ensuring the fundamental democratic principles of man and society.

Evidently, a globalized society causes global environmental crises. Undoubtedly, survival of human life on the planet Earth is threatened. Is there any connection between globalization, environmental crises and psychological manifestations? What are the psychological perspectives linking the ecological damages from local to the global scale? This article explores such intricate relationships and discusses the implications. The underlying principal cause is human’s unending greed to acquire maximum materials and power to control the planet and entire humanity. The greed is believed to be a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction. The greedy people are supposed to have biological, psychological and sociological drives. Evidently, global destruction of the ecosystems and natural environment are directly or indirectly linked to unprecedented chronic human greed and self-indulgence. Undoubtedly, unencumbered chronic greed of a few elite institutions led by top capitalists has put the entire planet in havoc and infiltrated widespread sufferings at the global scale. Conclusively, psychological basis of environmental problems has a sociological and socio-historical scope within the frame of globalization. Psychological account of the environmental crisis is explained subsequently in this article followed by a case study of deforestation of Carpathian Mountains staged by a greedy Austrian man.

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.正義是一個歷史範疇，任何具有實踐品格的正義理論都只能是與特定道德共同體特殊的善的規定相聯繫的正義論，從這一意義上說，儒家當然也有自己的正義論。儒家正義論是以天道性命的邏輯關係為起點，通過仁、禮、義三維一體的倫理結構而表現的正義論。這種正義論將社會正義與個人正義統一起來，總體上體現為一種“厚生”的思想意識和行動。由於“生”具有不同的實踐領域和境界層次，從而使儒家正義論具有多維的展現向度。把這種正義論應用於醫療公正領域，儒家主張醫療保健政策必須以維護國民的生命意義和完整實現為前提，主張政府應提供一種基礎性的全民性的醫療保障和保健制度。但儒家不認同單級的平等主義的分配制度，而是強調資源的差等分配，但資源差等分配的前提不在於每個人實際的貧富狀態，而取決於人的修德程度或者說後天努力與貢獻的程度。個體對自我生命的完整實現負有天定的義務，因此儒家主張在醫療保健領域應當賦予個體和家庭以更多的自主權。In the West, “justice” is a complex ethical principle, with meanings that range from the fair treatment of individuals to the equitable allocation of healthcare resources. Justice in bioethics is perhaps the most contested and controversial principle. This paper argues that the Confucian notion of justice is neither rights-based nor distributive; rather, it is based on the virtues of humanness and benevolence (ren), correct behavior and propriety (li), and uprightness and appropriateness (yi). Those virtues cherished in the Confucian tradition constitute what can be called a Confucian concept of justice, the primary principle of which is to respect human life. This means that in the healthcare system, the Confucian idea of justice is approached from the perspective of equality and fairness. On the one hand, the government should provide basic care for all persons according to the virtue of humanness/benevolence; on the other hand, the government should allow for diversity and differences in medical treatment and healthcare resource allocation according to the virtues of propriety and appropriateness, given that medical resources are limited and China supports a huge population. In other words, the government has the responsibility of providing public health care to those who cannot afford to pay for their own basic healthcare needs. At the same time, the government should allow for alternatives and should permit people to choose between ways of dealing with their medical issues.Clearly, the language of “rights” is absent from the Confucian tradition. However, this essay argues that because the Western notion of justice, particularly in the legal sense, does not take into account what is good, the Confucian virtue-based justice better fits the cultural milieu of medical practice in China. From the standpoint of Confucianism, healthcare and bio-medical ethics should be more concerned about what is good for society, family, and the individual than about absolute equality or the principle of fair equality, which engender both moral and economic hazards.DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 259 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.

The Covid-19 pandemic crisis that hit Malaysia has changed the norm of human life in many ways. The government has drafted and issued new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and enforced the Movement Control Order (PKP) in an effort to curb the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic. Through the principles of Islamic jurisprudence, one of the methodologies for determining the law is based on the method of fiqh (Qawa'id fiqhiyyah). Therefore, the method of fiqh can be a guiding instrument in facing this pandemic. The research question for this study is how the application of the fiqh method "No Harm to Oneself And Not Harmful to Others" (La Darar Wa La Dirar) in determining the law related to the issue of Covid-19. This paper aims to explain the aspects of the use of the fiqh method "No Harm to Oneself And Not Harmful to Others" (La Darar Wa La Dirar) that can be applied in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic in Malaysia. This method is taken directly from the hadith of the Prophet S.A.W. is seen as very important in helping contemporary scholars to find similarities and make comparisons on various fiqh issues and make adjustments to new problems that do not yet have the backing of Islamic law. The research method used is a qualitative study through exploration of various library sources by examining books related to Qawaid fiqh iyyah, current fatwas in accordance with the situation of Covid-19, journals and reports of authoritative physicians and fiqh scholars in the issue of Covid-19 in Malaysia. In addition, observation techniques were also carried out. The collected data were analyzed and explained using inductive, deductive and comparative methods to obtain appropriate results in accordance with the objectives of the article. The findings of the study found that the fiqh method of "No Harm to Oneself And Not Harmful to Others" (La Darar Wa La Dirar) and several branches of the method are applied in many problems related to the implementation and government directives during the Covid-19 pandemic in Malaysia and can be used as a benchmark for self-care of the individual, society and country from the threat of this virus. Although it is not explicitly mentioned but the action taken is in line with the method of fiqh which recommends that all harms be removed. Thus, the scholars of usul fiqh formulate the method emphasizing the need to eliminate all harms as approved by the Islamic law and the method is formulated based on the command of Allah SWT: ”Do not spread corruption in the land after it has been set in order. And call upon Him with hope and fear. Indeed, Allah’s mercy is always close to the good-doers." (Al-A’raf: 56). Therefore, Muslims and the multi-racial community in Malaysia are not allowed to do anything that not only endangers themselves, but also causes harm to others. Krisis pandemik Covid-19 yang melanda Malaysia banyak mengubah norma kehidupan manusia. Pihak kerajaan telah merangka dan mengeluarkan Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) baharu dan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) dikuatkuasakan kerajaan dalam usaha menangani penularan wabak Covid-19. Menerusi ilmu usul fiqh, salah satu metodologi penentuan hukum adalah berasaskan kaedah fiqh (Qawa’id fiqhiyyah). Oleh yang demikian, kaedah fiqh boleh menjadi instrumen panduan dalam menghadapi pandemik ini. Persoalan kajian ini adalah bagaimana pengaplikasian kaedah fiqh ‘Tiada Mudarat Dan Tidak Boleh Memberi Mudarat’ (la darar wa la dirar) dalam penentuan hukum berkaitan isu Covid-19. Kertas kerja ini bertujuan menjelaskan aspek penggunaan kaedah fiqh ‘Tiada Mudarat Dan Tidak Boleh Memberi Mudarat’ (la darar wa la dirar) yang boleh diaplikasikan dalam mendepani pandemik Covid-19 di Malaysia. Kaedah ini diambil secara langsung daripada hadis Nabi SAW dilihat sangat penting dalam membantu para ulama kontemporari mencari persamaan dan membuat perbandingan terhadap isu-isu fiqh yang pelbagai dan penyesuaian dibuat dengan permasalahan baru yang belum mempunyai sandaran hukum syarak. Metode kajian yang diguna pakai adalah kajian kualitatif melalui penerokaan terhadap sumber kepustakaan yang pelbagai dengan meneliti buku-buku berkaitan Qawaid fiqh iyyah, fatwa semasa dengan disesuaikan dengan situasi Covid-19 ini, jurnal serta laporan pihak berautoriti pakar perubatan dan ahli fiqh dalam isu Covid-19 di Malaysia. Selain itu, teknik observasi turut dijalankan. Data-data yang dikumpul dianalisis dan dihuraikan dengan menggunakan kaedah induktif, deduktif dan komparatif bagi mendapatkan natijah yang sesuai selaras dengan objektif artikel yang telah ditetapkan. Dapatan kajian mendapati kaedah fiqh ‘Tiada Mudarat Dan Tidak Boleh Memberi Mudarat’ (la darar wa la dirar) dan beberapa cabang kaedah diaplikasi dalam banyak permasalahan yang berkait dengan pelaksanaan dan arahan kerajaan semasa pandemik Covid-19 di Malaysia dan mampu digarap sebagai penanda aras untuk penjagaan diri, masyarakat dan negara daripada ancaman virus ini. Walaupun ia tidak disebut secara jelas tetapi tindakan yang diambil adalah selari dengan kaedah fiqh tersebut yang menyarankan supaya semua kemudaratan dihilangkan. Justeru, ulama usul fiqh merumuskan kaedah tersebut menekankan keperluan untuk menghilang dan menghapuskan semua kemudaratan yang diperakui syarak dan kaedah berkenaan dirumuskan berdasarkan perintah daripada Allah SWT. Oleh itu, orang Islam dan masyarakat pelbagai kaum di Malaysia tidak dibenarkan melakukan sesuatu tindakan yang bukan sahaja membahayakan diri sendiri, bahkan mencetuskan kemudaratan kepada orang lain.

Currently, in the context of the global environmental crisis, human life is accompanied by great difficulties. Their elimination requires, first of all, the improvement of environmental knowledge, which will help to further overcome the environmental crisis. The studies show that at present the work on environmental education in the universities of Azerbaijan is not satisfactory. The tendency to reduce academic hours makes it impossible to include additional environmental subjects in the curriculum. However, this does not mean that environmental awareness should be neglected. Universities have a sufficient base for environmental work, especially in the natural sciences departments. In this regard, environmental awareness has been brought to the forefront in the training of students on specialties „Biology”, „Geography”, „Physics” and „Chemistry” of Baku State University and Azerbaijan State Pedagogical University. As a result of the experiment, the effectiveness of the proposed method of environmental education of students in the teaching of natural sciences was proved, it was found that as a result of this training, significant changes will occur in the students’ attitude to nature.

Calculative Practices

In response to perceived valuation problems giving rise to global environmental crisis, ‘nature’ is being qualified, quantified and materialised as the new external(ised) ‘Nature-whole’ of ‘natural capital’. This paper problematises the increasing legibility, through numbering and (ac)counting practices, of natural capital as an apparently exterior ‘matter of fact’ that can be leveraged financially. Interconnected policy and technical texts, combined with observation as an academic participant in recent international environmental policy meetings, form the basis for a delineation of four connected and intensifying dimensions of articulation in fabricating ‘nature’ as ‘natural capital’: discursive, numerical-economic, material and institutional. Performative economic sociology approaches are drawn on to clarify the numbering and calculative practices making and performing indicators of nature health and harm as formally economic. These institutionalised fabrications are interpreted as attempts to enrol previously uncosted ‘standing natures’ in the forward-driving movement of capital.
