Abstract: The danger of the novel coronavirus has not yet come to an end, and new variants have begun to attack the world. What philosophy should humankind’s strategy be based on when human society as a group is fighting against Covid-19, as the pandemic ravages the world? Unfortunately, political leaders of various countries have failed to achieve the overall awareness of attacking the pandemic for a shared future for mankind so far. In the face of the pandemic, mankind as a whole urgently needs to break through the narrow nation-oriented ideology of seeking only self-protection. The International Community should establish a new type of international cooperation featuring the concept of harmony of "all things under heaven as a unity". The international relations system dominated by the power ofwestern discourse is now in a bottleneck. The main aim of this article is to study the ancient Chinese wisdom of "the Unity of Man and Heaven" philosophy and build a global harmonious community. The author argues that the “export” of the aforementioned wisdom must be a priority for Chinese scholars. Keywords: Tao; Unity of Man and Heaven; Novel Coronavirus; Anthropocentrism; Harmony.

Processes of collection, processing, removal, storage and utilization of solid household wastes and garbage are analyzed. Problems associated with their organization were aggravating in Ukraine during the transition to the market-based economic model radically changing the waste treatment mechanisms operated in the period of administrative and command system. It is demonstrated that Ukraine still has no well-functioning management system enabling for the civilized treatment of household wastes, including their recycling and utilization. The process of household wastes and garbage removal is disorganized and erratic. The chaotic way of collecting household wastes and garbage, used in many countries as a resource supportive to the economic development, needs to be firmly rejected. The global practices show that the problems of utilization and reuse of household wastes and garbage can be dealt with through intensive innovating and intellectualization. The effectiveness of solutions to the above problems is also conditional on two key actors: local self-governance bodies and citizens concerned with the matter. Assurance of social and environmental benefits is their necessary component. By the current organization and economic principles, enterprises active in processing, utilization and storage of household wastes and garbage are assigned the key role in treatment of household wastes. The advanced organization and economic principles for collection, storage and utilization of household wastes and garbage in Ukraine can be introduced once the nation-wide conceptual model for the development of this economic activity is elaborated. It needs to rely upon the Keynesian model that accounts for not only the interests of capital, but conforms, in many ways, to the human values concerned with environmental protection. The mechanism for collection, removal, storage, utilization and processing of solid household wastes and garbage needs to be organized as a full-fledged component of the social reproduction process. The key problem which solution will help adopt the new organization and economic principles for utilization and disposal of wastes is to create the conditions for constructing waste recycling fact ories, including the system of preferences. As shown by practices of many developed countries, they ensure effective processing and recycling of household wastes and garbage and reduce the land areas required for wastes and garbage placement.

Poverty is no longer fashionable even in the less developed countries of the world. The world has deemed poverty-ridden regions of the world as ‘anathema', forbidden, and ignoble. At the same time ways to get out of the menace are regularly strategised over a period of time. The developed countries of the world had been able to nip poverty to the bud significantly, but the developing countries still have a lot to do so as to overcome the menace. Poverty in the developing countries operates in a cycle of repetitions. This makes it difficult to curtail. How can poverty be reduced in the developing countries? This study reveals the reason while poverty has become a domestic phenomenon in developing countries and the way forward. The theory on poverty is evaluated alongside the present economic situation in Africa. The cycle of poverty, which includes the social cycle of poverty (SCP), political cycle of poverty (PCP), and the economic cycle of poverty (ECP), are examined. This study analyses the strategies to break the cycle of poverty in Africa and other developing countries.

AbstractThe author draws a parallel between the world of law and the world of the computer. Law accordingly can be seen as a collection of programs, as a programming language—as a programming environment of human society. In this article, the social roles are highlighted in this tripartite system, and the author points to the dangers of turning law from something humanistic into something mechanistic.

Background. The previous millennium was marked by the rapid development of scientific and technological progress, the widespread implementation of the results of scientific research. The purpose of our work was a retrospective study of global approaches and historical preconditions for the formation of academic science in different countries, the experience of effective organization of scientific research to develop proposals for its improvement, taking into account the peculiarities of medical academic science in Ukraine. Materials and methods. In the course of the research the methods of semantic analysis of scientific documents, methods of structural-logical analysis, content analysis were used. Results. Historical and modern aspects of academic science formation in different countries of the world were analyzed. Particular attention was paid to the peculiarities of the development of medical academic science with the assessment of the most effective systems of its organization. In Ukraine, national interests require immediate and effective measures aimed at preserving and effectively using existing scientific potential. Specific mechanisms for ensuring proper scientific substantiation of the formation and implementation of state policy in all spheres of public life need to be identified. Conclusions. Improving the system of organization of medical academic science in Ukraine should take into account the results of the emergence and development of academic science, both in Ukraine and in developed countries. The results of the study of international experience testified to the historical expediency and effectiveness of the development of academic medical science. Funding for medical science, which has become a cornerstone of transformation, must be differentiated, this is the mixed model is the most common in the world-basic funding using public funds with the possibility of grant support on a competitive basis. Such a mechanism for the efficient use of public resources will create conditions for stimulating priority and innovative research.

Introduction. The problem of the search for the ways of understanding of the picture of the world and, as a consequence, the development of an approach to the social management is relevant for all times of the existence of mankind. A human is basically a biological phenomenon, therefore, the natural order should be regarded as the basis of the social order. Having in mind this formulation of the question, it becomes necessary to analyze modern concepts of natural science in understanding not only ontological vision of human society, but also developing new ways of its understanding. Materials and Methods. The theoretical and methodological approach was based on the concepts of natural science including the theories of evolutionism, quantum mechanics and synergetics. Using the model transfer of these theories to the idea of social development, the author proposes the methodology based on the principle of interdependence of the theories analyzed in the article. Results. An analysis within the framework of the described theories has shown that according to the evolutionary model, progress is assumed to be taken for granted. Linear scenarios are useful only at the stage of forecasting and provoke a passivity of existence, which leads to deadlocks in development. In the synergetic model, society is represented as a complex open system characterized by opposite trends: destruction, manifesting itself as entropy, and creation, or negentropy. Progress depends on changes that help to survive. If the synergistic picture of the world appears in the form of an order that is formed from chaos, then in a quantum one – society is chaos in the originally existing order. Consequently, the presence of a goal-oriented vector compels a person to move towards the restoration of the system, in particular society, to its initial or even higher level of organization. Discussion and Conclusion. A progressive evolutionary model is manifested in the form of successful adaptation, synergetic combines the idea of evolutionism with the idea of multivariance of the historical process. The quantum approach continues the idea of multivariance, but unlike classical synergetics, it assumes a goal-oriented nature of development. In fact, these approaches do not express contradiction, but the disclosure of the multidimensional development of being, therefore, it is necessary to take into account their interdependence, which allows a more productive cognition of reality in order to manage it.

“Intelligent Transportation systems” is what everyone wants to know about, and about which very little is available as know-how. ITS technologies and monitoring systems are quite popular and reasonably well deployed in developed countries, particularly the roadways and airways. ITS holds a greater promise than ever before, as both availability of niche technologies and demand for more efficient transportation systems have increased multi-fold in recent years. Of late, there are huge railway projects all over the world that spans through several techniques, such as light / heavy rails, monorails etc. Apart from the social benefits that can be envisaged, these projects are genuine examples of public-private partnerships along with global business operations. Many of these projects demonstrate a classy trend of moving towards automation of operations of very large scales. Few agent architectures are discussed in brief in this chapter.

Digital divide can be considered a macro economical index representing the social differences and the separation between the North and the South of the world. Since the first definition of digital divide, it has been shown that it is also a great and unrecognized problem in the developed countries, especially in the field of education. “Digital disconnection” is a key problem for School and University as institutions. In this paper, the above questions are widely analyzed with a special attention on the spreading gap between digital natives (i.e., young students), and digital immigrants (i.e., parents, teachers and policymakers in the school).

This chapter discusses Marxist historiography in the present times. In the interpretation of the world nowadays, there has been a rise in the so-called anti-Rankean reaction in history, of which Marxism is an important but not always fully acknowledged element. This movement challenged the positivist belief that the objective structure of reality was self-explanatory, and that all that was needed was to apply the methodology of science to it and explain why things happened the way they did. This movement also brought together history with the social sciences, therefore turning it into part of a generalizing discipline capable of explaining transformations of human society in the course of its past. This new perspective on the past is a return to ‘total history’, in which the focus is not merely on the ‘history of everything’ but history as an indivisible web wherein all human activities are interconnected.

This book provides a detailed account of the gilets jaunes, the yellow vest movement that has shaken France since 2018. The gilets jaunes are a group of French protesters named after their iconic yellow vests worn during their demonstrations, who have formed a new type of social movement. They have been variously interpreted since they began their occupation of French roundabouts: at first received with enthusiasm on the right of the French political establishment, and with caution on the left. They have provided a fundamental challenge to the social contract in France, the implicit pact between the governed and their political leaders. The book assesses what lessons can be drawn from their activities and the impact for the contemporary relationship between state and citizen. Informed by a dialogue with past political theorists — from Hobbes, Spinoza and Rousseau to Rawls, Nozick and Diderot — and reflecting on the challenges posed by the yellow vest movement, the book rethinks the concept of the social contract for contemporary societies around the world. It proposes a new relationship between the state and the individual, and establishes the necessity of rethinking the modern democratic nature of our representative polities in order to provide a genuine process for the healing of social ills.
