Es de gran trascendencia conocer la manera en que los seres humanos se apropian, edifican y representan la relación del espacio con el medio ambiente en la tierra y el uso indiscriminado de recursos que dañan la ecología; existen  directrices principales sobre las decisiones estratégicas de desarrollo para la intervención urbana, que a través de políticas públicas se ordene, administre y compense de una manera óptima, minimizar los riesgos y amenazas bióticas, físicas y económico sociales sobre la utilidad de estas riquezas naturales de forma planificada. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo diseñar una alternativa de intervención urbana de una parte de la margen derecha del río Portoviejo, que atraviesa la ciudad; en el tramo comprendido entre el puente San José y el Puente Velasco Ibarra, donde se encuentra ubicada el área de estudio. La   metodología utilizada es cualitativa, descriptiva y experimental; mediante la aplicación diagnósticos realizados a través de encuestas, observaciones y análisis documental, para obtener información, verificar, analizar, corregir o aplicar el conocimiento la vida cotidiana y la prognosis e imagen del objetivo en planos. Los resultados de carácter preventivo, contribuyen a evitar las continuas invasiones de edificaciones en las riberas del río y el uso indebido de los patios traseros de los predios que están en este tramo donde los cerramientos están ubicado muy cerca del cauce del río, para la utilización de estos espacios que están dirigidos a la recreación  de la población, y a mejorar el paisaje natural urbano a partir de un desarrollo sostenible y  conservación natural de las riberas del ríos.Palabras clave: alternativa, intervención urbana, desarrollo sustentableURBAN INTERVENTION ALTERNATIVE ON THE RIGHT BANK OF THE PORTOVIEJO RIVER.ABSTRACTIt is a current problem of great importance to know the way in which human beings appropriate, build and represent the relationship of space with the environment on earth and the indiscriminate use of resources that damage the ecology; there are main guidelines on the strategic decisions of development for urban intervention, which through public policies is ordered, managed and compensated in an optimal way to minimize the risks and biotic, physical and economic social threats on the utility of these natural riches in a way planned The objective of this research is to design an alternative proposal for the urban intervention of a part of the right bank of the Portoviejo River, which crosses the city and is the stretch between the San José Bridge and the Velasco Ibarra Bridge, where the area is located study. The methodology used is qualitative, descriptive and experimental through diagnoses made through surveys, observations and documentary analysis, to obtain important information to understand, verify, analyze, correct or apply knowledge in daily life and the prognosis and image of the objective in blueprints. The results of the proposal for urban planning and design are preventive in order to avoid the invasion of buildings on the banks of the river and the improper use of the backyards of the properties that are in this section where the enclosures are located very close to the river bed, which will allow a better use of these spaces that are specifically aimed at the recreation of the population, and improve the natural urban landscape from sustainable development and natural conservation of the riverbanks.Keywords:  alternative, development, urban, intervention, sustainable

This paper compares various mechanisms of resource curse leading to a potentially inefficient use of resources; it is demonstrated that each of these mechanisms is associated with market imperfections and can be "corrected" with appropriate government policies. Empirical evidence seems to suggest that resource abundant countries have on average lower budget deficits and inflation, and higher foreign exchange reserves. Besides, lower domestic fuel prices that are typical for resource rich countries have a positive effect on long-term growth even though they are associated with losses resulting from higher energy consumption. On top of that resource abundance allows to reduce income inequalities. So, on the one hand, resource wealth turns out to be conducive to growth, especially in countries with strong institutions. However, on the other hand, resource abundance leads to corruption of institutions and to overvalued real exchange rates. On balance, there is no solid evidence that resource abundant countries grow more slowly than the others, but there is evidence that they grow more slowly than could have grown with the right policies and institutions.

One of the key concepts in the right to education is access: access to the means to fully develop as human beings as well as access to the means to gain skills, knowledge and credentials. This is an important perspective through which to examine the solutions to access enabled by Open Educational Resources (OER) and online learning. The authors compare and contrast OER and online learning and their potential for addressing human rights “to” and “in” education. The authors examine OER and online learning growth and financial sustainability and discuss potential scenarios to address the global education gap.

A river flows serenely accepting all the miseries and happiness that it comes across its journey. A tree releases oxygen for human beings despite its inner plights. The sun is never tired of its duty and gives sunlight without any interruption. Why are all these elements of nature so tuned to? Education is knowledge. Knowledge comes from learning. Learning happens through experience. Familiarity is the master of life that shapes the individual. Every individual learns from nature. Nature teaches how to sustain, withdraw and advocate the prevailing situations. Some dwell into the deep realities of nature and nurture as ideal human beings. Life is a puzzle. How to solve it is a million dollar question that can never be answered so easily. The perception of life changes from individual to individual making them either physically powerful or feeble. Society is not made of only individuals. Along with individuals it has nature, emotions, spiritual powers and superstitious beliefs which bind them. Among them the most crucial and alarming is the emotions which are interrelated to others. Alone the emotional intelligence is going to guide the life of an individual. For everyone there is an inner self which makes them conscious of their deeds. The guiding force should always force the individual to choose the right path.  Writers are the powerful people who have rightly guided the society through their ingenious pen outs.  The present article is going to focus on how the major elements bound together are dominating the individual’s self through Rabindranath Tagore’s Home and the World (1916)

This book argues that we are obligated to treat all sentient animals as “ends in themselves.” Drawing on a theory of the good derived from Aristotle, it offers an explanation of why animals are the sorts of beings who have a good. Drawing on a revised version of Kant’s argument for the value of humanity, it argues that rationality commits us to claiming the standing of ends in ourselves in two senses. As autonomous beings, we claim to be ends in ourselves when we claim the standing to make laws for ourselves and each other. As beings who have a good, we also claim to be ends in ourselves when we take the things that are good for us to be good absolutely and so worthy of pursuit. The first claim commits us to joining with other autonomous beings in relations of reciprocal moral lawmaking. The second claim commits us to treating the good of every sentient animal as something of absolute importance. The book also argues that human beings are not more important than, superior to, or better off than the other animals. It criticizes the “marginal cases” argument and advances a view of moral standing as attaching to the atemporal subjects of lives. It offers a non-utilitarian account of the relationship between the good and pleasure, and addresses questions about the badness of extinction and about whether we have the right to eat animals, experiment on them, make them work for us, and keep them as pets.

The Right

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) proclaimed the equality of all human beings in dignity and rights. The right to social security, however, has been taken more seriously only since the 2000s, through calls for ‘Social security for all’ and ‘Leaving no one behind’. The book investigates a major response, social cash transfers to the poor. The idea of simply giving money to the poor had been rejected by all major development organizations until the 1990s, but since the early 2000s, social cash transfers have mushroomed in the global South and on agendas of international organizations. How come? What programmes have emerged in which countries? How inclusive are the programmes? What models have international organizations devised? Based on unique quantitative and qualitative data, the book takes stock of all identifiable cash transfers in all Southern countries and of the views of all major international organizations. The author argues that cash transfers reflect broader changes: new understandings of development, of human rights, of global risks, of the social responsibility of governments, and of universalism. Social cash transfers have turned the poor from objects of charity into rights-holders and agents of their own lives and of development. A repertoire of cash transfers has evolved that has enhanced social citizenship, but is limited by weak political commitments. The book also contributes to a general theory of social policy in development contexts, through a constructivist sociological approach that complements the dominant approaches from welfare economics and political economy and includes a theory of social assistance.

Any investigation of slavery in the Roman Empire must contend with the sexual exploitation of slaves endemic to the system. Given the diversity of ancient Christian attitudes toward sexuality, there is no reason to expect that a slaveholding ethos touched all Christian communities in a uniform fashion. At issue, however, is not whether the wider context of a slaveholding empire affected the formation of Christian attitudes toward sexuality. At issue is how. The purpose of this essay is to question whether early Christian silence on the issue should be construed as wholesale rejection of a system in which social status scripted social morality, or as complicity with that system. In the end, it is difficult to imagine how the churches could have challenged the right of a male slaveholder to exploit his domestic slaves sexually without challenging his right to claim ownership of other human beings.

BACKGROUND: Many companies are forced to restructure themselves by right sizing due to unexpected fall in demand for their products and services created by the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID 19 not only affected the health of human beings but also their wealth across the world. Global economic parameters are showing a sign of positive growth with decreased number of COVID 19 cases across the world. Many companies are in a dilemma to rehire their former employees or to hire the new candidates to meet the increased demand. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of study are i) to analyze the key drivers for boomerang hiring and ii) to develop a conceptual process for boomerang hiring. METHODS: An exploratory methodology was designed to identify the key drivers of boomerang hiring by studying the various successful stories of those companies which had rehired their former employees. Various papers were reviewed to develop the process for boomerang hiring. RESULTS: Study showed that knowledge about the culture of the company, cost of hiring, morale booster for the existing employees, and customer retention, are the key drivers for boomerang hiring. This hiring process requires special skills from HR Managers, as this decision will impact long term success of the company. CONCLUSION: The process of boomerang hiring cannot be standardized as each organization culture is different and companies cannot have the same strategy for each candidate as every individual is different. Boomerang hiring will work as the right strategy during pandemic situation as former employees would have built relations with the customers. The customers will be happy to see the former employees who had served them better.
