Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was declared a pandemic (WHO). As a result, a significant excess in mortality threw economic systems into a tailspin. This will continue until all people worldwide are fully and effectively vaccinated. At the end of the year 2020 following the start of the vaccine, which was fraught with difficulties, there were various challenges that took a long time to resolve. Innovations in vaccination delivery systems such as mobile vaccination and its distribution using drones can be the most significant achievements in the world in terms of reaching the largest number of people possible.

We all take the ubiquity of the Internet for granted: anyone, anywhere, anytime, any device, any connection, any app…but for how long? Is the future of the Internet really at stake? Discussions about control of the Internet, its architecture and of the applications running on it started more than a decade ago (Blumenthal & Clark, 2001). This topic is becoming more and more important for citizens, businesses, and governments across the world. In its original set-up, the architecture of the Internet did not favor one application over another and was based on the net neutrality principle (Wu, 2003). However, architectures should be understood an “alternative way of influencing economic systems” (Van Schewick, 2010), but they should not be a substitute for politics (Agre, 2003). The architecture is laid down in standards and therefore discussions about the future of the Internet should also address the role of standards. This is what this chapter aims to do.

Miniature gas counters have been in use since the early 1960s for the measurement of 14C but were for a long time seen as suitable for providing approximate indications of activity rather than measurements for more precise dates. In recent years the need for better measurements of small samples has posed a continuing challenge for the 14C laboratories. This paper examines how the challenge has been met across the world using conventional beta decay counting techniques and proportional gas counters of 50ml volume or less. A survey is made of the rise of these techniques and attention paid to the solution through modern technology of earlier problems. Some practical systems, now in routine use, are described and consideration is given to the future for miniature counter measurements. Such systems have several attractive features that will guarantee their usefulness in 14C measurements for the future.

Catch Up

From the time a technological need is recognized to the time that it takes academia to produce graduates coming out of colleges with those skills already developed takes a long time, and if academia reacts to the needs of the technology then academia will always be playing a catch-up game since technology does not stand still while academia is working on churning out graduates with the requisite skills. This is a key reason why industry and academia should work together to have a vision of where technology is headed and design academic programs that will train the graduates for the future needs of technology. While this chapter has provided some examples where collaboration between universities and industry has lead to development of technology, there are a myriad of others covering various fields and disciplines. In a small chapter like this, it is not possible to cover all of this. With the advent of affordable telecommunication and transportation, the world is a lot smaller today than it was a few decades back. Retaining homegrown talent and nurturing the homegrown talent to contribute towards growing even more talent while attracting talent from across the globe will contribute significantly towards a knowledge economy that will be self-sustaining.

The world today is evolving at a very rapid pace. The needs today won't be the needs of tomorrow. This shift of the needs and longing of humans to experience something beyond exceptional is not momentary. This shift is continuous and humans are pushing their limits to experience something which they haven't before. In order to quench that thirst, the products which satisfy their desires don't last long and that's why the products today are short lived and are not sustainable. This is very good for the economy in order to keep the cycle running espousing consumerism as well. This is giving a tough challenge to designers and architects of today to create something sustainable which can keep the people engaged for a long time. Thus, the designers and Architects are in the middle of this issue. Where they don't know whether they shall create something which is sustainable or something which is short lived and increases the desire of the consumer to look for what next.

Measure Of Uncertainty

Abstract In this article, we propose a neurophenomenological account of what moods are, and how they work. We draw upon phenomenology to show how mood attunes a person to a space of significant possibilities. Mood structures a person’s lived experience by fixing the kinds of significance the world can have for them in a given situation. We employ Karl Friston’s free-energy principle to show how this phenomenological concept of mood can be smoothly integrated with cognitive neuroscience. We will argue that mood is a consequence of acting in the world with the aim of minimizing expected free energy—a measure of uncertainty about the future consequences of actions. Moods summarize how the organism is faring overall in its predictive engagements, tuning the organism’s expectations about how it is likely to fare in the future. Agents that act to minimize expected free energy will have a feeling of how well or badly they are doing at maintaining grip on the multiple possibilities that matter to them. They will have what we will call a ‘feeling of grip’ that structures the possibilities they are ready to engage with over long time-scales, just as moods do.

This chapter examines three William Gibson novels: Pattern Recognition, Spook Country, and Zero History. Gibson had planned Pattern Recognition for a long time: in 1986, he declared that he would “eventually try something else,” and “in twenty years” he would probably be “writing about human relationships.” By shifting from the future to the present, Gibson clearly felt that he was relaunching his career, and hence he logically reverted to the pattern of his first novel. Known as a science fiction writer for decades, Gibson felt an obvious need to justify Pattern Recognition's present-day setting. This chapter considers a number of ways to argue that Pattern Recognition should be classified as science fiction. Spook Country asserts that we live today in a world filled with science-fictional events, but we are unable or unwilling to properly observe them. Zero History suggests that Gibson has entirely distanced himself from the world of computers, the focus of the cyberpunk literature he was once said to represent.

A couple of generations ago the historical process known as “the expansion of Europe” was regarded as a blessing for the whole human race. This, at least, was the majority view. Nationalists in the colonies held contrary opinions, hut what they said carried little weight in Europe. For four hundred years, the historians of the age of classical imperialism believed, Europe had been the giver, the colonial world the receiver. The mother-lands had “wrestled with the task of sharing their own civilization with the backward races of the globe”. A good start had been made, but there was much still to be done, and the duty of the colonized peoples was plain: they must continue to serve their apprenticeship until such time as they were ready to join the family of nations. Europe alone held the keys to law and order, advanced technology, efficiency in government, and the potential for progress. In its hand lay the future of the world. In the imperial age, few European historians, even those opposed to imperialism, doubted that the colonies would be ruled for a long time, perhaps indefinitely, by Europe.

It Training

We have different reasons for publishing research. I can imagine the resident begrudging that without it, training would have been for naught. Then there are those rare individuals with whom the prospect of interesting research gives an inordinate sense of excitement. Many a time we say, “I’ve seen a case just like that” or “we’ve been doing that for a very long time”. But if it is not written, who can say that it happened? Why research and publish? Knowledge for the love of knowing. Basic research often pursues questions that may have no clear application yet. But there is always promise it will make sense in the future. These little bits of information have, in many instances, come together into a bigger “aha” moment later on. Answer a question --- understand how, what, when, why. Every single day, we ask something that there is no clear answer to. Be it in the course of seeing patients in the clinic, doing surgery or in moments of quiet introspection. Each candid query has potential to be a developed into a valid and rational research question. Share knowledge. The Philippine clinical environment is unique. Patient profiles, conditions and treatments may vary from those reported elsewhere. That new case unseen or rarely reported in literature will be lost to memory without publication. Sharing it as published scientific literature ensures that the information will be preserved and may be of use to others in the future. Intellectual and academic impetus. Residents take heart. Consultants in academic institutions also have this requirement. “Publish or perish” is taken seriously in the academe. This push from teaching institutions hopefully results in amplified output to sustain both the professor’s needs and the medical community at large. There are certainly more reasons. Which one is yours? Why in the PJO-HNS? We absorb information from all over the world and incorporate it into the daily grind of medical practice. But conditions by which Philippine ORL-HNS thrives is rife with its own special set of questions, answers, creative solutions, insight and the occasional surprise revelation. We have as much to share to the ORL-HNS community as the world has shared with us. The PJO-HNS, under the stewardship of Dr. Jose Florencio Lapeña, has achieved much in terms of ensuring that the researches it publishes gains international recognition with enhanced online accessibility. Thus, what is published in PJO-HNS will be searchable online and is linked within a system that allows ease of searching, citation and linking. Once it is written, published and uploaded, the information shared will never be lost or relegated to mere anecdotes. There is much work to be done to further Philippine ORL-HNS research. As leaders of our specialty, the PSO-HNS enjoins all Fellows to foster that inquisitive spirit, search for answers and share this knowledge through the PJO-HNS. May this volume inspire you to contribute to this effort.

Abstract. This research took place just after the end of the protests following the killing of a 16-year-old boy by a policeman in Greece in December 2008. Participants (N = 224) were 16-year-olds in different schools in Attiki. Informed by the Politicized Collective Identity Model ( Simon & Klandermans, 2001 ), a questionnaire measuring grievances, adversarial attributions, emotions, vulnerability, identifications with students and activists, and questions about justice and Greek society in the future, as well as about youngsters’ participation in different actions, was completed. Four profiles of the participants emerged from a cluster analysis using representations of the conflict, emotions, and identifications with activists and students. These profiles differed on beliefs about the future of Greece, participants’ economic vulnerability, and forms of participation. Importantly, the clusters corresponded to students from schools of different socioeconomic areas. The results indicate that the way young people interpret the events and the context, their levels of identification, and the way they represent society are important factors of their political socialization that impacts on their forms of participation. Political socialization seems to be related to youngsters’ position in society which probably constitutes an important anchoring point of their interpretation of the world.
