Technological advances due to the rapid flow of globalization, change the pattern of teaching in the world of education. The philosophy of education shows a vertical relationship, up or down with the branches of education. It is hoped that the public can better understand the importance of globalization so that the negative impacts that have an impact can be minimized and it is also hoped that the realization of positive activities towards education will be even better. Education contributing to the success of development in the agricultural sector is not solely determined by development in the technology sector but is determined by the development of the quality of human resources, aspects of human personality, which include knowledge, values, attitudes and skills. The influence of globalization encourages education in the agricultural sector to be increasingly encouraged by stakeholders to always be improved so that the agricultural sector becomes more productive.

<p>This paper explores one very important issue in the regulatory regime for medicines in New Zealand and around the world- the deficit of information about medicines available to doctors, patients and independent researchers. Much of the information about safety, efficacy and quality of drugs is held and controlled by pharmaceutical companies and regulators. The public is entitled to this information in full.</p>

The contemporary functioning of the media is inextricably linked with what is happening in the world ofpolitics. The case of the Mafra corporation and the behaviour of its owner Andrej Babiš shows how throughthe interrelations of these two spheres the media can influence the shaping of political decisions, opinionsor preferences in the elections. The penetration of business and political interests, related informal layoutsand dependencies as well as high media instrumentation allow us to claim that today the process ofoligarchisation of the Czech media is highly advanced. This is connected with the increasing concentrationof ownership of media companies and intervention of the owners into the published content, but also withchanges in journalism itself. The media cease to be a “watch dog” controlling the authorities and caringabout the quality of public debate. Instead, they are creating reality, more and more openly, attemptingto manipulate the public, which results in less and less trust on their part and poses a serious threat todemocracy.

With a rapidly growing world population, urban populations are estimated to increase significantly over the next decades. This trend is reason for concern since the planet's resources are limited, and climate change is inherent. This chapter focusses on the question about whether new technologies employed in smart cities can be the answer to current and future needs of a city population. Cutting-edge technological advances are reshaping our ecosystem; transforming society, living, and work environments; transport systems; energy grids; healthcare; communications; businesses; and education. How can cities respond to the multitude of challenges by employing technology and at the same time ensure the public well-being, improve the quality of life of city inhabitants, and make sure that the human is still at the center of decisions?

ResumenEn Costa Rica, durante el siglo XX, tanto la ordenación territorial como las políticas ambientales y sus respectivos instrumentos de implementación resultaron ineficientes o insuficientes para evitar, o cuando menos reducir, los impactos negativos que generan, sobre el ambiente, las diversas actividades desarrolladas por el ser humano. Sin embargo, durante las últimas dos décadas -principalmente, a partir de la reforma al artículo 50 de la Constitución Política, en 1994, que consagró el derecho a un ambiente sano y ecológicamente equilibrado- encontramos esfuerzos legislativos, administrativos y comunitarios, encausados a lograr una adecuada armonía entre las actividades humanas, la protección del ambiente y el crecimiento ordenado de las ciudades. Sin lugar a dudas, el elemento ambiental ha adquirido una creciente relevancia en el país, a lo largo de los últimos veinte años, que se ha visto reflejadaen la promulgación de leyes y reglamentos, que buscan tanto consagrar la protección ambiental, como suplir la ausencia, ya se directa o indirectamente, de normas jurídicas de naturaleza urbanística.Determinar con mayor precisión, desde la perspectiva jurídica, la incidencia del elemento ambiental en la ordenación territorial y la planificación urbana, a través de las acotadas normas y a su vez, de las políticas públicas y sus instrumentos de implementación, se convierte en el objetivo del presente artículo; buscando, a su vez, ofrecer un análisis sobre las resoluciones, tanto adminstrativas como judiciales, que permita identificar sus alcances y afectación -positiva o no- sobre las Administraciones Públicas y los ciudadanos. Lo anterior, con la finalidad de reconocer sus efectos y definir, de cara al futuro, cuáles aspectos se pueden y deben mejorar, en aras de lograr la consecución de una cohesión socioeconómica y un desarrollo sostenible pleno, que repercuta en una mejor calidad de vida para la población costarricense. AbstractDuring the twentieth century in Costa Rica, spatial planning and environmental policies, as well as their implementation tools, proved they have been inefficient or insufficient to avoid, or at least, to reduce, the negative impacts produced over the environment by the multiple activities developed by humans. However, during the past two decades -mainly, since article 50 of the Constitution was modified in 1994, enabling the right to enjoy an ecologically balanced and wholesome environment- we can find legislative, administrative and communitarian efforts, looking forward to an adequate harmony amid human activities, environmental protection and cities organized development. Without a doubt, the environmental factor has acquired an increasing relevance in the country during the last twenty years. This has been materialized by the enactment of laws and bylaws, trying to achieve not only environmental protection, but also support - direct or indirectly - the absence of urbanistic laws and regulations.To determine with accurate precision, from a legal perspective, the incidence of the environmental factor in spatial and urban planning, through the mentioned laws and bylaws, the public policies and their implementation tools, is the purpose of this paper; and also, to offer an analysis about the administrative and judicial decisions, that may allow the identification of the results - positive or not- over the Public Administrations and the citizens. The later, with the aim to recognize their effects, and define towards the future, which bearings may and must be improved. This in order to conquer a social economic cohesion and a plain sustainable development that will positively affect citizens’ quality of life.

During the XXth century, intensive agricultural practices has been spread and allowed an important increase of productivity, especially thanks to scientific and technical innovations. Nevertheless, this change had consequences on biodiversity, quality of ecosystems and landscapes by a simplification of wine areas. In addition, sociocultural pressures toward agricultural practices had become stronger and stronger. In response, many mobilizations had begun to emerge, especially in the wine sector. For some years, we observed a real dynamic of the sector at the environmental level with the creation of many approaches which are promoting sustainable wine practices. These certifications are various and come up to consumers' wishes for products which are respectful of environment. They can be carried by productors associations, wine regions, cooperatives, wine companies or public authorities. We have inventoried in 22 countries a total of 54 environmental certifications among which 33 are dedicated to viticulture. We categorize them through: the scale (local, national, international), the area (vine, vine and wine, multi agricultural sector), the subjects treated (environment, economic, social) and the dynamic of the approach (voluntary, compulsory, individual or collective). This article informs and sensitizes the actors of wine sector to the diversity of environmental approaches in the world.

The development of consumer culture that increasingly strengthened creates verysignificant cultural implications in society. Shift in the meaning of the commodity-valueproducts in order to be a symbolic value, impact on changes in consumption practices thatoriginally was based on making the benefits of the exchange of goods became a symbol ofspace and social identity. Commodities in turn are consumed to obtain all the identities,symbols, images and signs attached to it. This in turn creates a culture where performanceimmanence (the things that are surface) occupies a higher position than anything substantial.Consequently, people are trapped in the banality of morality and spirituality, whichconsiders moral and spiritual issues as being trivial. Cultural impact is of course very crucialto be addressed so that people are not getting mired in a cycle of low moral and spiritualculture that would degrade the quality of humanity itself. In this case, the role of all levels ofsociety needs to be revitalized, and one of them is family. Family as the basic unit of societyhas many functions that are essential to be developed to address the strengthening of consumerculture. Various functions, such as religious function, social cultural function, charity function,the function of protecting, reproductive function, the function of socialization and education,including the economic and environmental development function, can make an importantcontribution to the construction of individual personality and social action. Internalizing thevalues of religion, social, cultural and other social capital will be affecting the actions andsocial practices. In relation to the negative impacts of consumer culture, education forreligious values which is related to the dimension of the divine becomes the counterculture toovercome the culture of immanence in the consumer culture.Reliance transcendental becomes an important mechanism to sensitize the public onthe need for transcendence to improve the quality of our humanity. In addition, efficientinternalization of culture or modest consumption (moderate) as confirmed in faith should bedone to limit the desire for being consumptive. This value needs to be emphasized because ithas a positive impact for the future protection of family and community in both the short andlong term.

The past couple of decades have been a confusing, frustrating period for engineers. With their creations making the world an ever richer, healthier, more comfortable place, it should have been a time of triumph and congratulation for them. Instead, it has been an era of discontent. Even as people have come to rely on technology more and more, they have liked it less. They distrust the machines that are supposedly their servants. Sometimes they fear them. And they worry about the sort of world they are leaving to their children. Engineers, too, have begun to wonder if something is wrong. It is not simply that the public doesn’t love them. They can live with that. But some of the long-term costs of technology have been higher than anyone expected: air and water pollution, hazardous wastes, the threat to the Earth’s ozone layer, the possibility of global warming. And the drumbeat of sudden technological disaster over the past twenty years is enough to give anyone pause: Three Mile Island, Bhopal, the Challenger, Chernobyl, the Exxon Valdez, the downing of a commercial airliner by a missile from the U.S.S. Vincennes. Is it time to rethink our approach to technology? Some engineers believe that it is. In one specialty after another, a few prophets have emerged who argue for doing things in a fundamentally new way. And surprisingly, although these visionaries have focused on problems and concerns unique to their own particular areas of engineering, a single underlying theme appears in their messages again and again: Engineers should pay more attention to the larger world in which their devices will function, and they should consciously take that world into account in their designs. Although this may sound like a simple, even a self-evident, bit of advice, it is actually quite a revolutionary one for engineering. Traditionally, engineers have aimed at perfecting their machines as machines. This can be seen in the traditional measures of machines: how fast they are, how much they can produce, the quality of their output, how easy they are to use, how much they cost, how long they last.

Scientific research and studies from recent years point to the growing interest of large multinational corporations in publishing reports that inform the public not only about their performance, but also about their behavior in terms of social responsibility and long-term sustainability. These are not only effects in the context of their success, but also the negative impacts of their environmental, social and administrative activities. Although corporate responsibility reporting integrating financial and non-financial information is becoming a standard practice, these approaches have not yet been investigated or published in the Czech region. Therefore, the aim of the research was to determine how the new quality of reporting is perceived by Czech industrial corporations. Data for empirical research were excerpted from reports published in 2018. To verify the generally perceived assumption of a positive correlation between the size of corporations and the quality of their reports, respectively between reporting quality and corporate performance, eight hypotheses have been formulated. The Chi-Square independence test was used to confirm or refute the hypotheses. The tests confirmed a significant dependence of reporting quality on the size of the corporation. A positive correlation was also found between quality of report and performance, but the expected negative correlation between indebtedness could not be demonstrated.

Agriculture is becoming an important growing sector throughout the world due to increasing population. Major challenge in agriculture sector is to improve farm productivity and quality of farming without continuous manual monitoring to meet the rapidly growing demand for food. Apart from increasing population, the climate change is also a big concern in agricultural sector. Thus, rather than performing outdoor irrigation; here a small indoor farming method is performed based on Internet of Things. The smart farming method enables the collection of data and automated farming technique.
