The last 10 years or more will be remembered as a time of perpetual crisis. Against this backdrop, there is an urgent need for effective leadership and for citizens of the world and their leaders to come together to achieve collective goals. However, various studies have highlighted the deleterious effects on democracy of the current trajectory political discourse is taking. Increasing voices in academia call for a shift towards a more citizen-centric political communication. The authors respond to such calls by proposing a new model for political communication that focuses on three dimensions, namely service ethos, inclusivity, and empathy (3D model). In this chapter, the authors conceptualise these dimensions and build a normative model for their application while discuss the relevant shortcomings and current issues as they relate to contemporary political communication.

When we acknowledge our purpose as the essence of our self, when we take all our power into use in an effortless way, and when we fully accept our own nature — including sex and sexuality, our purpose of life takes the form of a unique talent. Using this talent gives the experience of happiness. A person in his natural state of being uses his core talent in a conscious, joyful, and effortless way, contributing to the world the best he or she has to offer. Full expression of self happens when a person, in full acceptance of body and life, with whole-hearted intension, uses all his personal powers to realize his core talent and all associated talents, to contribute to his beloved and to the world. Thus, self-actualisation is a result of a person fully expressing and realizing his core talent.The theory of talent states that a core talent can be expressed optimally when a human being takes possession of a three-dimensional space with the axis of purpose, power and gender, as we have a threefold need: 1-Acknowledging our core talent (our purpose of life) and intending it 2-Understanding our potential powers and manifesting them 3-Accepting our human form including our sex and expressing itThe first dimension is spiritual, the next dimension is mental, emotional and physical, and the third dimension is bodily and sexual. We manifest our talents in a giving movement from the bottom of our soul trough our biological nature onto the subject and object of the outer world. These three dimensions can be drawn as three axes, one saggital axis called purpose or love or me-you, one vertical axis called power or consciousness (light) or heaven-earth, and one horizontal axis called gender or joy or male-female. The three core dimensions of human existence are considered of equal importance for expression of our life purpose, life mission, or core talent. Each of the dimensions is connected to special needs. When these needs are not fulfilled, we suffer and if this suffering becomes unbearable we deny the dimension or a part of is. This is why the dimensions of purpose, power and gender become suppressed from our consciousness.

Both architects and engineers are unconsciously drawn towards the two dimensional world – the ubiquity of the plan and elevation, and the ease of analysing 2-D structures. Yet the best architecture always exploits the three dimensional world, and the majority of structural problems and collapses occur when engineers have failed to think in the third dimension. Space structures offer an ideal learning environment for students of both architecture and engineering. They stimulate and challenge both the imagination and the intellect by forcing students out of the cosy, and often dull familiarity of two dimensions. They encourage students to conceive structures in three dimensions and drop down to two when necessary or convenient, rather than the other way round. In a world where form and forces so strongly interact, space structures force architects to step into the world of statics, and engineers into the world of geometry. An important result is a better understanding, for both architects and engineers, of the role engineers can play in helping create imaginative and practical structures.

Islam is one of the largest religions in the world as it is predicted to reach a quarter of the world population by 2030 (Pew Research Center, 2017)and it is considered as the fastest growing religion in the world (Saeed, Ahmed, & Mukhtar, 2001). Muslim consumers are a group that is rarely tapped by the marketing researchers. Brand personality is considered as a factor that can influence the customer satisfaction. Aaker’s Brand Personality dimensions are used as the main theory. Quran and Hadith were used as a guidance to find a model that suits the personality of Islam. Three dimensions namely Sharia Law, Justice, and Trustworthiness were added as a replacement towards the removal of Sophistication and Ruggedness, that were considered not suitable to Islamic Brand Personality. The new model is expected to be a framework that helps the marketers to better understand the aspects that cater the needs of the Muslim consumers.

ABSTRACT During the last two decades three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound has become increasingly popular around the world. There have been a great number of research papers studying its feasibility as well as reliability and accuracy. Compared to two-dimensional (2D), 3D ultrasound produces better visualization with minimal probe manipulation. The sonographer performing 2D ultrasound has to mentally assemble crosssectional images of a structure and/or object into a 3D image. In cases with uncertain anatomic orientation less experienced examiners may experience difficulties in envisioning three dimensions of the visualized structure, lesion or organ. Patients and parents are often faced with similar problems. A number of studies have shown that novice operators can efficiently store and interpret the volume data by 3D ultrasound, which may have many positive implications in the practice.

The spaces of virtual world contain mythological contents from different social and cultural-historical periods, creating a new way of existing and acting of contemporary individual and society, as well as a way to interpret them. The world created in three dimensions called Second Life is crawled both by mythological symbols and postmodern fluidity, generating a special social and psychological sphere. In this survey we will give a short presentation of the Second Life phenomenology, starting with its structure, and then explaining its relation to the real world and to the mode in which traditional cultural elements are presented there. The case study of dandellion/@ Kimban will be used as an illustration of this digital imitation of life given in three-dimensional online role plays and of object modulation.

Through this paper, we investigate numerically a Three-dimensional laminar flow of an incompressible Newtonian fluid within a rectangular channel; including several adiabatic partitions of a cylindrical (and/or) elliptical shape. To do so, a numerical code based on the Lattice Boltzmann approach is used. In other words, three dimensions D3Q19 model is adopted all based on a cubic Lattice, where each pattern of the latter is characterized by nineteen discrete speeds. Our numerical code has been successfully validated after a wide comparison between the present results and those of the literature. By taking into account the Reynolds number, the partitions’ shape impact on the flow fields within the channel is taking all attention and that throughout the time’ Streamlines and the velocity profiles. The pressure drop within our channel is also investigated to come out with the best arrangement of these kinds of partitions within.

This paper presents a chronological account of design’s response to the Covid-19 crisis as it unfolded globally. From January to May 2020, we documented over 500 design interventions that have been created by individuals, networks, amateurs, professionals, and public and private organizations and institutions. This international response witnessed the rapid design and development of products, networks and systems such as facemasks, hospitals, infographics, respirators, sanitizers, and virtual communities all created in an effort to save us. In response to the Covid-19 virus the problems that the world faced were highly complex, interdependent, and could not be addressed by conventional means. As such, this paper presents over 500 design-led responses that illustrate comprehensively that when pressed we can find new ways of designing. In short, this work outlines what we might think of as a new model for designing. This new model does not describe a new condition to come after what we currently call design. Rather, what we witness here is the revival of the practice of design – from handmaiden of Capital to one of Care – which is expressed in a new critical attitude for looking at the design world, probing its practice, its theoretical position and its product.

In the article, I present the findings of scientific insight into issues that I call tablet children. I provide alarming data on the number of children aged 6 months and a little bit older who are given access to tablets and smartphones by adults. I quote the most important findings included in the theory of representation by Jerome S. Bruner to explain the following: – What makes babies and toddlers use tablets and smartphones in a remarkably efficient way; – Adverse differences in representations created by children based on experiences gathered in the world of real objects and in the virtual world; – Distortions in the outlines of mental representations formed by young children when they watch images on tablet and smartphone screens too frequently. Being given access to these devices is particularly dangerous for young children, who have not yet created the outlines of the representations of three-dimensional objects and three-dimensional qualities of space in their minds. Distortions in the outlines of representations are difficult to fix as subsequent experiences only complement and expand the existing representations. Since the existing representations take part in creating new representations, the new ones are not fully correct either. I also argue the need for serious research that should aim to determine the far-reaching results of tablets and smartphones being available to babies and young children. This will help to come to terms with these devices educationally and also to determine when and for how long they can be made available to children so that they are safe for children's mental development.

Special methods for tracing rays through restricted earth models are reported in the literature. For example, Sattlegger (1965) has dealt with a two‐dimensional model consisting of a sequence of constant‐velocity layers separated by interfaces that may be dipping. More recently, Sorrells et al. (1971) have considered three‐dimensional (3D) models with plane interfaces of arbitrary strike and dip and with spherical surfaces of a special kind. In the earlier part of 1970, we were using a more general algorithm which allowed us to trace rays through a 3D model consisting of plane or curved surfaces of arbitrary nature. This algorithm was presented by the author at the 41st Annual SEG convention in November, 1971. A number of inquiries received by us since that time has encouraged us to summarize our results in this brief note.

The lymphatic system is very important in the immunological activities of the body. Clinicians confirm the diagnosis of infectious diseases by palpating the involved cutaneous lymph node for changes in size, heat, and consistency. Clinical pathologists diagnose systemic diseases through biopsies of superficial lymph nodes. In many parts of the world the goat is considered as an important source of milk and meat products.The lymphatic system has been studied extensively. These studies lack precise information on the natural morphology of the lymph nodes and their vascular and cellular constituent. This is due to using improper technique for such studies. A few studies used the SEM, conducted by cutting the lymph node with a blade. The morphological data collected by this method are artificial and do not reflect the normal three dimensional surface of the examined area of the lymph node. SEM has been used to study the lymph vessels and lymph nodes of different animals. No information on the cutaneous lymph nodes of the goat has ever been collected using the scanning electron microscope.
