The Buddhist practice of mindfulness has enjoyed a tremendous surge in popularity in the last few decades, both in the popular press and in the psychotherapy literature. However, the philosophy and practice of mindfulness has often been erroneously equated with quietism or a withdrawal from the world of action, misconceived as a practice of sterile, self-absorbed contemplation. On the contrary, the core Buddhist conception of existential freedom lies in the belief of doing over thinking, and intersubjectivity over introspection. Moreover, the cultural differences in how one conceives oneself, particularly in relation to others around, prove to be a critical factor in determining the efficacy of various clinical techniques including mindfulness practice. The chapter explores the interpersonal dimensions of mindfulness philosophy and practice, and the implications of such paradigms to question whether the current methods of intervention and training based on internality are sufficient for the clinical application.

Medicine is an ever-evolving branch of science, which requires regular teaching and training for the core purpose of patient safety. Physicians around the world are attending newer courses, workshops and continuing medical education (CME) programs to enhance their individual clinical skills. These courses offer much beyond the didactic lectures and are now routinely recommended by the regulatory authorities of most of the countries. This article will provide in-depth information for the conceptualization, planning and conduct of any educational medical course with a special reference to airway management.

Transnational Communication

Transnational communication is a natural effect escorting activities of research teams throughout the world. We understand this phenomenon not as a new-born process mediated by technologies, but the process of cross-border dissemination of opinions, information, ideas, and toolkits. We also recognize that while so-called “new” information and communications technologies (ICTs) have created their own specific problems and concerns, it should be remembered that all forms of communication are capable of causing tensions and latent conflicts (Cupach, 1997; Ribeiro, 1998). The study concerns networking and ICT-mediated collaboration in transnational research teams with Russian participation affected by cultural differences. The core interest lies in investigation of communicative strategies and effects of visual and interactive techniques, including video-conferencing, participatory social media, podcasting, and others--and, to collaboratively construct, interpret, and theorize participants’ accounts of cooperation.

Boeing supplies airplanes and provides service and training to customers throughout the world. We want to understand “culture” because of the perception that cultural differences affect the safety of airplane operations. The predominant approach to cultural differences has been characterized by Hutchins, Holder, and Perez (2002) as essentialism. Essentialism is the view that culture is an essential part of every person. It asserts that culture is written indelibly into the identity of a person early in life and makes itself visible in his or her behavior. This view stems from Hofstede's (1980) work and is seen in more recent work on cultural differences that seek out national traits. As an alternative framework, Hutchins et al. propose a contextualist view, which directs attention to how people draw on the resources around them to construct meaningful courses of action. We discuss the differences between these two frameworks in understanding cultural differences.

Abstract The SEISAN software package for processing of earthquake data has been in use for 30 yr. SEISAN is a collection of programs that help to carry out tasks from the basic processing at a seismological observatory to more advanced seismological research. During its history, the software has been adopted to different hardware and operating systems. However, the core of the software with a folder- and files-based database and event-based processing has remained stable. The main focus in the design and development of the software has been the efficiency in data processing for the user. The software comes with manual, tutorial, and training exercises. This together with regular training activities has made SEISAN a useful tool for many observatories around the world.

The World

Management sciences have long ignored the cultural embedding of organizations. They consider that economic globalization brings a powerful dynamic of standardization that marginalizes cultural differences in the business world. Sometimes, these differences are seen as being reduced to habits and customs that affect the life of firms or international organizations only on minor points such as respecting punctuality in appointments or expressing straightforward criticism. They consider that the core of management—organizing activities to best serve the interests of stakeholders—will not be affected. Sometimes, too, these differences are perceived as survivors of traditions that will have to be eradicated if modernity and efficiency are to finally triumph. Consequently, best practices, presumably universal, should be established throughout the world. However, in real life, cultures resist....

The Buddha

The Buddha lived and taught 2.500 years before the field of psychology was established, but the teaching he left behind introduce wide-ranging and profound analysis of human behaviour that overlap. Buddhist Festivals are always joyful occasions. The most significant celebration takes place every May on the night of the full moon, when Buddhists all over the world celebrate the birth, enlightenment and death of the Buddha over 2,500 years ago. It has come to be known as Buddha Day. Buddhism, in its natural form, is not a religion; rather it is a tradition that focuses on personal spiritual development. The Buddha intended his philosophy to be a practical one, aimed at the happiness of all creatures. While he outlined his metaphysics, he did not expect anyone to accept this on faith but rather to verify the insights for themselves; his emphasis was always on seeing clearly and understanding. To achieve this, however, requires a disciplined life and a clear commitment to liberation; the Buddha laid out a clear path to the goal and also observations on how to live life wisely. The core of this teaching is contained in the Noble Eightfold Path, which covers the three essential areas of Buddhist practice: ethical conduct, mental discipline and wisdom. The goals are to cultivate both wisdom and compassion; then these qualities together will enable one ultimately to attain enlightenment.

For nearly three decades, English has been the lingua franca of cross-border business, yet studies on global language strategies have been scarce. Providing a rare behind-the-scenes look at the high-tech giant Rakuten in the five years following its English mandate, this book explores how language shapes the ways in which employees in global organizations communicate and negotiate linguistic and cultural differences. Drawing on 650 interviews conducted across Rakuten's locations around the world, the book argues that an organization's lingua franca is the catalyst by which all employees become some kind of “expat”—detached from their native tongue or culture. Demonstrating that language can serve as the conduit for an unfamiliar culture, often in unexpected ways, the book uncovers how all organizations might integrate language effectively to tap into the promise of globalization.

The world has been surprised by the emergence of a COVID 19 pandemic, was born in China, and widespread to various countries in the world. In Indonesia, the government issued several policies to break the COVID 19 pandemic chain, which also triggered some pro-cons in the midst of society. One of the policies government takes is the closure of learning access directly at school and moving the learning process from physical class to a virtual classroom or known as online learning. In the economic sector also affects the parents’ financial ability to provide sufficient funds to support the implementation of distance learning applied by the government. The implications of the distance education policy are of course the quality of learning, including the subjects of Islamic religious education, which is essentially aimed at planting knowledge, skills, and religious consciousness to form the character of the students. Online education must certainly be precise, in order to provide equal education services to all students, prepare teachers to master the technology, and seek the core learning of Islamic religious education can still be done well.

The 1960S

Despite the dumbing-down of education in recent years, it would be unusual to find a ten-year-old who could not name the major continents on a map of the world. Yet how many adults have the faintest idea of the structures that exist within the Earth? Understandably, knowledge is limited by the fact that the Earth’s interior is less accessible than the surface of Pluto, mapped in 2016 by the NASA New Horizons spacecraft. Indeed, Pluto, 7.5 billion kilometres from Earth, was discovered six years earlier than the similar-sized inner core of our planet. Fortunately, modern seismic techniques enable us to image the mantle right down to the core, while laboratory experiments simulating the pressures and temperatures at great depth, combined with computer modelling of mantle convection, help identify its mineral and chemical composition. The results are providing the most rapid advances in our understanding of how this planet works since the great revolution of the 1960s.
