The aim of the article is to present the state of environmental knowledge of young people. Contemporary perception of environmental problems has been evaluated in recent decades. More and more often are the problems related to climate change and our role in activities to maintain the values of the natural environment directly visible. The implementation of the idea of sustainable development not only in economic but also social life creates opportunities for both broadening one’s knowledge and taking actions for nature. Environmental awareness presented in the article is based on the assessment of the state of ecological knowledge. The research, on the basis of which the article was developed, was carried out in 2004 on a group of students from Warsaw University of Life Sciences, and was repeated in 2019. The research was carried out in a group of students of the faculty of Economics. The obtained results indicated that the main sources of acquiring knowledge on topics related to the environment are changing, and the role of education and training in the educational institution is increasing. On the other hand, the level of ecological awareness, expressed in the state of knowledge, varies in terms of subject matter. In the case of defining the five researched terms, it was possible to observe a higher correctness of the assignment of terms and their definition among the respondents from the second survey carried out in 2019. The respondents from the repeated survey also showed a higher level of knowledge in the field of knowledge of national parks in Poland.

Subject. The article discusses how management transforms as artificial intelligence gets more important in governance, production and social life. Objectives. We identify and substantiate trends in management transformation as artificial intelligence evolves and gets more important in governance, production and social life. The article also provides our suggestions for management and training of managers dealing with artificial intelligence. Methods. The study employs methods of logic research, analysis and synthesis through the systems and creative approach, methodology of technological waves. Results. We analyzed the scope of management as is and found that threats and global challenges escalate due to the advent of artificial intelligence. We provide the rationale for recognizing the strategic culture as the self-organizing system of business process integration. We suggest and substantiate the concept of soft power with reference to strategic culture, which should be raised, inter alia, through the scientific school of conflict studies. We give our recommendations on how management and training of managers should be improved in dealing with artificial intelligence as it evolves. The novelty hereof is that we trace trends in management transformation as the role of artificial intelligence evolves and growth in governance, production and social life. Conclusions and Relevance. Generic solutions are not very effective for the Russian management practice during the transition to the sixth and seventh waves of innovation. Any programming product represents artificial intelligence, which simulates a personality very well, though unable to substitute a manager in motivating, governing and interacting with people.

Since 2002, Sunni jihadi groups have been active in Iranian Baluchistan without managing to plunge the region into chaos. This book suggests that a reason for this, besides Tehran’s military responses, has been the quality of Khomeini and Khamenei’s relationship with a network of South-Asia-educated Sunni ulama (mawlawis) originating from the Sarbaz oasis area, in the south of Baluchistan. Educated in the religiously reformist, socially conservative South Asian Deoband School, which puts the madrasa at the centre of social life, the Sarbazi ulama had taken advantage, in Iranian territory, of the eclipse of Baluch tribal might under the Pahlavi monarchy (1925-79). They emerged then as a bulwark against Soviet influence and progressive ideologies, before rallying to Khomeini in 1979. Since the turn of the twenty-first century, they have been playing the role of a rampart against Salafi propaganda and Saudi intrigues. The book shows that, through their alliance with an Iranian Kurdish-born Muslim-Brother movement and through the promotion of a distinct ‘Sunni vote’, they have since the early 2000s contributed towards – and benefitted from – the defence by the Reformist presidents Khatami (1997-2005) and Ruhani (since 2013) of local democracy and of the minorities’ rights. They endeavoured to help, at the same time, preventing the propagation of jihadism and Sunni radicalisation to Iran – at least until the ISIS/Daesh-claimed attacks of June 2017, in Tehran, shed light on the limits of the Islamic Republic’s strategy of reliance on Deobandi ulama and Muslim-Brother preachers in the country’s Sunni-peopled peripheries.

Few questions have galvanized the attention of observers of African affairs in recent years as forcefully as the performance of the state on the continent. The debate on the nature of the state—its capabilities, weaknesses, external and societal connections, and impact—has come to occupy center stage in the field of African political studies. This overriding preoccupation emanates from the underlying assumption that the state constitutes a superior means for the fulfillment of economic and social aspirations; participation in its activities is deemed beneficial, and various sectors of society strive to associate with its institutions and gain access to its resources. Some recent works have cast doubt on this assumption, however, and the trend in the literature has been shifting towards an emphasis on the diminishing role of the state in African social life. However, even in these new studies the focus has been primarily on the state itself, its difficulties, incapacities, and failures, rather than on societal response to its actions.

LABURPENA: Oro har naturagune babestuen eta bereziki Parke Nazionalen arloko eskumenen banaketatik abiatuta, eta gure ordenamendu juridikoan dagoen koordinazioahalmenetik abiatuta, Estatuaren koordinazio-lana areagotu ahal izateko elementu guztiak aztertzen ditugu, hori baita Parke Nazionalei buruzko berehalako lege-erreformako aldaketa nagusia. Estatuaren koordinazio-lana handitu ahal izateko sartutako elementuen zentzua, erabilgarritasuna, eraginkortasuna eta konstituzionaltasuna aztertzen dugu lan honetan. Gure ustez gure ordenamenduarekin koherenteak ez diren alderdiak ere adierazten ditugu, eta legegileak horren aurrean jarraitu beharko lukeen bidea erakusten dugu. RESUMEN: Partiendo del reparto competencial asentado en la materia de los espacios naturales protegidos, en general, y de los Parques Nacionales, en particular, y del concepto y ejercicio de la potestad de coordinación existente en nuestro ordenamiento jurídico, analizamos la batería de elementos que llevan a incrementar el papel coordinador del Estado, que consideramos constituye el cambio más trascendental de la inmediata reforma de la ley de Parques Nacionales. En este estudio analizamos el sentido, la utilidad, operatividad y constitucionalidad de los elementos introducidos para aumentar el papel coordinador del Estado. Al mismo tiempo, señalamos aquellos aspectos que consideramos que no son coherentes con nuestro ordenamiento y apuntamos el camino que tendría que seguir el legislador al respecto. ABSTRACT: On the basis of the allocation of powers regarding the protected natural spaces in general and National Parks in particular, and the concept and exercise of the power of coordination which exists in our legal order we analyze a set of elements which lead to promote the role of coordination by the State, which we consider to be the most significant change in the immediate reform of the Act on National Parks. We analyze in this study the meaning, the utility, operativity and constitutionality of the elements introduced in order to promote the role of coordination by the State. At the same time, we note those features that we consider that are not coherent with our order and in that regard we show the path to be followed by the legislator.

Almost 10 years after the Cl@ssi 2.0 project began in Italy, the contribution intends to take stock of the consequences and the development of the project, broadening the view to the role of informal learning and the new 4.0 technologies, with a look at the effects of the emergence of COVID-19. The last part of the chapter focuses on the role of new enabling technologies in the future model of 4.0 learning which in turn fits into the Society 5.0 framework. These scenarios will offer insights for a concluding reflection on Society 5.0, a society in which the integration of technologies will offer an opportunity to develop all sectors of social life, including the education and training sector.

Resumo – Este artigo explicita a afinidade entre o pensamento neoestruturalista da Cepal e o neoliberalismo, tendo como foco o papel do Estado na acumulação capitalista em face à crise estrutural do capital. O objetivo é trazer os principais elementos teóricos do pensamento estruturalista clássico da Cepal para demonstrar que o neoestruturalismo não se constitui em alternativa ao neoliberalismo. O Estado é acionado para estabelecer a primazia do mercado na definição do desenvolvimento, no sentido de fazer com que as regulações referentes à legislação trabalhista e os direitos sociais sejam reduzidas, em sintonia com as contrarreformas em curso. O programa neoestruturalista não produz enfrentamentos às medidas regressivas que acirram a barbarização da vida social, o que sugere a mobilização de forças sociais para a construção coletiva de um programa de esquerda, de transição para outra sociabilidade. Palavras-Chave: Cepal; neoliberalismo; neoestruturalismo; contrarreforma; Estado.  Abstract – This article explores the affinity between neoestructuralist thinking of ECLAC and neoliberalism, focusing on the role of the state in capitalist accumulation in face of the structural capital crisis. Its goal is to bring the main theoretical elements of classical estructural thinking of ECLAC to demonstrate that neostructuralism does not constitute an alternative to neoliberalism. The state is called upon to establish the defining role of the market primacy in development, in order to ensure that regulations regarding labor legislation and social rights are reduced, in tune with current counter-reformations. The neoestructuralist program does not produce confrontations with regressive measures that aggravate the barbarization of social life, which suggests the mobilization of social forces for the collective construction of a left-wing program, in transition to another type of sociability. Keywords: ECLAC; neoliberalism; neostructuralism; counter-reformation; State.

The exclusive role of culture and education in the modern strategy of sustainable development is emphasized. For so many centuries, culture and education had a distinct flavor of luxury and were available, as a rule, to a select few. Currently, there is a widespread expansion of culture and education, and indicators of upbringing and training have become the primary condition for the sustainable existence of society and the individual. The question arises: what is the hidden primacy of culture and education today? The authors call the answer to it moral postulates and enlightenment, which affect not only the human mind, but feelings and soul, giving rise to desires and actions that obey the will. It is concluded that ideals, beliefs and other qualitative characteristics of a person are the main regulators of sustainable social life. Thus, the role of culture and education is to implement social harmony and ensure the quality of life of people.

The dominating role of the state in the failed economic and social integration of the Mezzogiorno into the modern and developed northern part of the country since the creation of the Italian union is analysed. The mutation of the 'southern' to the'northern question' constitutes one of the most recent phenomena in Italian history which threatens the concept of national unity. Therefore, a new contract between the North and the South is necessary to combat the backwardness of the Mezzogiorno. This also requires a new quality of state and not its withdrawal from social life.

Education is a main asset in the growing and development of a country. Various financial resources from the government and private agencies are provided to ensure that all Malaysians have the opportunity to obtain education and further their studies. Waqaf and zakat are one of the most important contributors in education. There have been many efforts undertaken by waqaf and zakat institutions in the development of education sector such as helping the B40 and underprivileged gorup. Therefore, this study will discuss the role of waqaf and zakat for educational institutions in the context of Malaysia. The study also will discuss the proposed educational institution model through the synergy of waqaf and zakat funds. This qualitative study uses the method of documentation. The findings suggest that the proposed establishment of a fully-funded educational institution using waqaf and zakat funds should be established for the sustainability of waqaf and zakat institutions as well as the ummah. The synergies between waqaf and zakat funds are believed to strenthen the management and development of the education sector in Malaysia including for those in need. It is hopeful that this study can be used as a guideline and reference to the authorities especially the State Islamic Religious Council, Centre for Waqaf, Waqaf Foundation, as well as NGOs which involved either directly or indirectly in the management of waqaf and zakat throughout Malaysia. ABSTRAK Pendidikan merupakan aset utama dalam kemajuan dan pembangunan sesebuah negara. Pelbagai sumber kewangan daripada pihak kerajaan dan swasta disediakan bagi memastikan semua rakyat Malaysia berpeluang mendapatkan pendidikan dan melanjutkan pelajaran. Wakaf dan zakat merupakan salah satu penyumbang terpenting dalam bidang pendidikan. Terdapat banyak usaha-usaha yang telah dilakukan oleh institusi wakaf dan zakat dalam pembangunan sektor Pendidikan termasuk membantu golongan B40 dan kurang bernasib baik. Justeru, kajian ini akan membincangkan peranan wakaf dan zakat bagi institusi pendidikan dalam konteks Malaysia. Kajian ini juga akan membincangkan cadangan model institusi pendidikan melalui sinergi dana wakaf dan zakat. Kajian kualitatif ini menggunakan kaedah dokumentasi. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa cadangan penubuhan institusi pendidikan yang dibiayai sepenuhnya menggunakan dana wakaf dan zakat wajar ditubuhkan bagi kelestarian institusi wakaf dan zakat serta ummah. Sinergi antara dana wakaf dan zakat diyakini dapat memperkasakan pengurusan dan pembangunan sektor pendidikan di Malaysia termasuk golongan yang memerlukan. Diharapkan kajian ini dapat dijadikan panduan dan rujukan kepada pihak berwajib khususnya Majlis Agama Islam Negeri, Pusat Wakaf, Yayasan Wakaf, NGO-NGO yang terlibat sama ada secara langsung atau tidak langsung dalam pengurusan wakaf dan zakat di seluruh Malaysia.
