The proclamation of the COVID 19 virus pandemic has changed the way people live in almost all parts of the world. Due to the pandemic, consumers are adapting to the new circumstances not only by respecting epidemiological measures but also by changing their habits in everyday life. The aim of this paper is to identify changes in consumer lifestyle as a consequence of the current COVID 19 pandemic. The research was conducted on a sample of 153 respondents by observing their eating habits, travel, use of electronic shopping and payment channels and healthy lifestyle. Based on the analysis of the collected primary data in the SPSS program, the results indicate that lifestyle related to travel, use of electronic shopping and payment channels and healthy lifestyle significantly differs, while eating habits also changed but in lower degree. The conducted research contributes to the generation of useful knowledge in order to better understand the COVID 19 virus, which is still unknown to the scientific community and various market actors, as well as its effects on everyday life of people.

During the final decades of the eighteenth century, Enlightenment efforts at comprehensive mastery gave way to different uses of system—to delimited and dedicated systems and to the dispersing of systems into other forms, including the specialized essays of the modern disciplines. Their “travel” filled the world in new ways. This transition highlights our differences from Enlightenment. For Smith, who based his master SYSTEMS on “sentiments” as probable behaviors, true knowledge was useful knowledge that worked in the world to change that world. For us knowledge is knowledge because it is true. The end-of-century proliferation of systems and of print made inclusive master SYSTEMS unsustainable. Late eighteenth-century Britain is a laboratory for studying the consequences of this proliferation: instead of becoming parts of master SYSTEMS, systems were inserted into other forms. This shifted the organization of knowledge from every kind being a branch of philosophy, moral or natural, into the specialized and professionalized disciplines of modernity. This “travel” of system into other forms—embedded systems—was exemplified by Mathus’s Population “essay,” and in works, also published in 1798, by William Wordsworth and Mary Hays. Systems embedded in other forms and stretched to accommodate more things meant system proliferated into every aspect of everyday life.

Our research on the topic set forth, "Discrimination of women in the private sector" has resulted in a detailed picture of the role and place of women in the overall socio-economic and political life in post-war Kosovo, by emphasising the problem of the employment process and other current problems, which women face on daily basis.Women, who constitute half of humanity, since the beginning of the era of patriarchy have faced discrimination, in social as well as economic and political aspects, and since then appeared barriers to their career development. This problem is present even today, in almost all countries of the world and is not peculiar only for Kosovo, however the problem in Kosovo appears to be more acute. This kind of discrimination comes as a result of various “reasons“: religious, social and cultural. In subsequent periods, especially during the last decade, women‘s participation in everyday life has begun to improve in all sectors of life, however it is still far from the desirable one.Our findings, which helped the completion of this research, lead us to conclude that women have been, are and continue to be discriminated against in all walks of life and so it will be, until the woman does not realise that her fate is in her own hands, namely not to ask a man to free space for her, but to fight in order to conquer it herself.

  As we know that there are three major forces in the world that greatly affect the economic system, namely the Socialist economic system, the Capitalist economic system, and the Islamic economic system. Zakat, infaq, and alms are an important and clear part of the Islamic economic system. Therefore, the Zakat Forum together with the Indonesian Institute of Accountants (IAI) compiled zakat accounting in 2007. In 2008 IAI finalized PSAK No.109 on Zakat Accounting. This study aims to determine the suitability of the application of PSAK No. 109 regarding accounting for zakat, infaq/alms at the Depok City BAZNAS Institute. This study uses qualitative research with analytical descriptive methods and the data used in this study are primary data obtained from interviews and literature studies. This research concludes that BAZNAS Depok City has implemented PSAK No.109 on accounting for zakat, infaq/alms as well as possible because almost all regulations in PSAK No.109 are followed by BAZNAS Depok City. The application of PSAK No. 109 concerning Accounting for zakat, infaq/alms at BAZNAS Depok City as evidence of the management's commitment in realizing transparency and accountability in the management of zakat infaq/alms. Some regulations that are not implemented by the Depok City BAZNAS are not so fatal, namely the Depok City BAZNAS does not take amil funds if the zakat or infaq is bound, Depok City BAZNAS does not buy assets under management from zakat funds, Depok City BAZNAS does not manage them first. In the past, infaq funds, but for a maximum of 2 months, had to be directly distributed to those entitled to receive them, and finally BAZNAS Depok City did not reveal the nature of the relationship between amil and mustahik.

The world of education, especially in Indonesia, is still faced with various problems. This situation is very visible, began to shift the educational orientation of the students who tend to make education only as a "road of formality" to get work in the future, to the problems of curriculum, learning methods, teachers, and others. This is inseparable from the era of globalization and modernization that is developing rapidly. In solving this problem, it is necessary to present philosophical ideas, among which are the thoughts of the Ikhwanus Shafa. This research is included in library research (Library Research). The sources of research data include primary data and secondary data. Ikhwanus Shafa is a secret society engaged in science. This group adheres to a religious-rational school. The thought of Ikwanus Shafa, who holds that educational goals must be related to religious values, has been implemented at Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University in Yogyakarta with the concepts of integration and interconnection. In addition, the Ikhwanus Shafa's educational methods inspire many educators by teaching from the concrete to the abstract by providing contextual examples with everyday life. In terms of the characteristics that must be possessed by students and teachers, can be found in Islamic boarding schools by accustoming the traits of exemplary and exemplary in everyday life.

In the 21st century, the world became a sign of globalization: global conflicts, global disasters, global economy, global Internet, etc. The Polish researcher Casimir Zhigulsky defines globalization as a kind of process, that is, the target set of characteristic changes that develop over time and occur in the modern world. These changes in general are reduced to mutual rapprochement, reduction of distances, the rapid appearance of a large number of different connections, contacts, exchanges, and to increase the dependence of society in almost all spheres of his life from what is happening in other, often very remote regions of the world.

1989 göçü öncesi, dünyada eşzamanlı olarak gittikçe gelişen ve zenginleşen mutfak kültürü, Bulgaristan Türklerini de etkilemiştir. Pazardaki çeşitlilik arttıkça, yemek alışkanlıkları da değişime uğramıştır. Büyük göçten sadece 30-40 sene evvel kısıtlı imkânlar ile sınırlı sayıda yemek çeşidi üretilirken, alım gücünün artmasıyla yemek kültüründe de hızlı gelişmeler olmuştur. Artan ürün çeşitliliği yemeklere de yansımış, farklı lezzetler mutfaklara girmiştir. Göçmen yemekleri denilince hamur işleri, börek ve pideler akla gelir. Ayrıca, göçmenlerin çok zengin turşu, komposto ve konserve kültürüne sahip oldukları da bilinir. Bu çalışma, 1989 öncesi Bulgaristan’ın farklı bölgelerinde yaşayan Türklerin yemek alışkanlıklarına ışık tutmakla birlikte, göç sonrasında göçmen mutfak kültüründe bir değişiklik oluşup oluşmadığını konu almaktadır. Bu amaçla, 1989 yılında Türkiye’ye göç etmiş 50 kişiye 8 sorudan oluşan anket düzenlenmiştir. Bu verilerden yola çıkarak oluşan bulgular derlenmiş ve yeni tespitler yapılmıştır. Ayrıca, Türkiye’nin farklı bölgelerine yerleşen göçmenler, kendi göçmen pazarlarını kurmuşlardır. Bulgaristan’dan getirilen ürünlerin bu pazarlarda satılması böyle bir arz talebin hala devam ettiğine işaret etmektedir.ABSTRACT IN ENGLISHThe Diversity in Cuisine Culture of the Immigrants from Bulgaria After 1989 MigrationThe Cuisine culture that has been developing and getting rich day by day contemporaneously in the world before 1989 migration has also had an impact on Bulgarian Turks. By the increase in diversity in the market, eating habits have changed. While producing a limited number of food types with limited opportunities just some 30 or 40 years before the ‘Big Migration’, there has been a rapid progress in food culture by the help of the increase in purchase power. Enhancing product range has been reflected in food, and different tastes have entered the cuisines. When we say immigrant, the first things that come to our mind are pastry, flan and pitta bread. Moreover, it is also known that immigrants have a very rich cuisine culture of pickle, stewed fruit, and canned food. This study aims both to disclose the eating habits of Turks living in different regions of Bulgaria before 1989 and to determine whether there has been a difference in immigrant cuisine culture before and after the migration. For this purpose, a questionnaire consisting of 8 questions has been administered to 50 people who migrated to Turkey in 1989. The results gathered from these data have been compiled and new determinations have been made. In addition, immigrants that settled in different regions of Turkey have set their own immigrant markets. The fact that the products brought from Bulgaria are being sold in these markets shows that this kind of supply and demand still continues.

The Thomas More Society of Buenos Aires begins or ends almost all its events by reciting in both English and Spanish a prayer written by More in the margins of his Book of Hours probably while he was a prisoner in the Tower of London. After a short history of what is called Thomas More’s Prayer Book, the author studies the prayer as a poem written in the form of a psalm according to the structure of Hebrew poetry, and looks at the poem’s content as a psalm of lament.

In the world auto market, top three companies are VW(Volkswagen), Runault-Nissan-Mistubishi, and Toyota. About some selected countries and areas, China, England, Italy, Australia, Germany, Turkey, Russia, Sweden, USA, Brazil, UAE, Japan, Vietnam and Thailand are more competitive. However, the situation is different. Seeing monopolistic market countries and areas, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia, France, India, and Pakistan, in particular, the influence of Japan to Taiwan, India, and Pakistan is very big. But in Korea and France, their own companies’ brands occupy the market. In Japan domestic market, the overall situation is competitive. Almost all vehicles made in Japan are Japanese brand. From now on, we have to note the development of electric vehicle (EV) and other new technologies such as automatic driving and connected car. That is because they will give a great impact on the auto industry and market of Japan. Now Japan’s auto industry is going to be consolidated into three groups, Honda, Toyota group, and Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi group for seeking the scale merit of economy. Therefore, I will pay attention to the worldwide development of EV and other new technologies and the reorganization of auto companies groups.

Abstract Experiences of absence are common in everyday life, but have received little philosophical attention until recently, when two positions regarding the nature of such experiences surfaced in the literature. According to the Perceptual View, experiences of absence are perceptual in nature. This is denied by the Surprise-Based View, according to which experiences of absence belong together with cases of surprise. In this paper, I show that there is a kind of experience of absence—which I call frustrating absences—that has been overlooked by the Perceptual View and by the Surprise Based-View and that cannot be adequately explained by them. I offer an alternative account to deal with frustrating absences, one according to which experiencing frustrating absences is a matter of subjects having desires for something to be present frustrated by the world. Finally, I argue that there may well be different kinds of experiences of absence.
