The work focuses on the characteristics of a person's self-attitude in the context of social-psychological displacement problems. This study examines how displacement can lead to changes in a person's characteristics and the specific socio-psychological challenges they face in their new living environment. The research focuses on understanding how self-attitude is expressed during socio-psychological adaptation among displaced individuals. The findings reveal that individuals who experience displacement in a new social environment tend to exhibit low self-confidence, self-management, self-evaluation, self-acceptance, and self-analysis. As a result, they often face internal conflicts and engage in self-criticism. This suggests that during the initial months of displacement, individuals develop a negative self-attitude, with positive aspects of self-attitude diminishing. However, the second stage indicates that positive changes in self-attitude are crucial for the survival and well-being of the individual and their family. Displacement and the challenges of adapting to a new socio-cultural environment are driven by the need for self-reassessment and self-acceptance. Moving from self-criticism and internal conflict towards self-esteem and self-acceptance serves an adaptive function, allowing individuals to better adjust to their new life conditions. Moreover, the study underscores the profound impact of social support networks in facilitating the transition towards a more positive self-attitude among displaced individuals. Strong social ties and community connections are crucial in bolstering self-esteem and fostering a sense of belonging, which are paramount for navigating the challenges of displacement. Recognizing and leveraging these support systems can significantly contribute to displaced individuals' psychological resilience and adaptive capabilities, ultimately enhancing their overall well-being and successful integration into their new environment.

Social marketers are facing major challenges as the United State's aging population becomes increasingly ethnically diverse. Social marketers are interacting with more elderly immigrants, refugees, and multiethnic populations who hold varying world views and health practices. In the face of the dramatic demographic shift toward diversity, concurrent with major changes in healthcare and Medicare, social marketers need to design effective interventions to reduce racial/ethnic and educational/socioeconomic discrepancies in health. Social marketers are also faced with the cultural adaptation of emerging interactive health communication technologies for minority elders who have two major barriers to achieving this communication: low literacy levels and little access to new technologies. It is imperative that social marketers develop culturally competent skills to work with the unique needs of seniors from diverse cultural backgrounds by understanding their needs, beliefs, and behaviors. Culturally appropriate adaptations and extensive pretesting of health messages for literacy and cultural sensitivity will be essential.

Changes in the geopolitical context, political movements within countries, new trade agreements, or integration processes create new scenarios and challenges for countries aspiring to Eurointegration. European integration, which has become a key factor in the political, economic, and socio-cultural life of European countries, brings numerous challenges and opportunities. In the process of forming a single market and economic cooperation, participating countries face various challenges that impact social and economic development. Eurointegration entails a country's entry into the European economic space, requiring the implementation of innovative approaches to adapt to European market standards and requirements. Integration into European structures demands an increase in the competitiveness of national economies through innovation in production, services, and management. The Eurointegration processes typically accompany political and legal changes within a country. Innovation can be a crucial factor in implementing necessary reforms and modernizing systems. Eurointegration often involves adaptation to new technological standards and infrastructure, with innovation enabling countries to adjust to these changes. Integration into European structures opens up new opportunities for international cooperation and trade. Innovation can foster the development of collaboration with other countries and regions.

The article comprehensively examines the issues related to the transformation of economic crime in the period of globalization and, in particular, the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Arguments in favor of the author’s idea of ways to improve the mechanism of criminal law protection of the domestic economy in the face of new challenges. It is stated that in modern societies the emergence of new types of economic crimes, the growth of economic crime in general and its adaptation to various socio-economic changes. Globalization of crime, together with economic globalization, which serves, so to speak, as a general background, requires experts in the field of comparative criminal law to strengthen international cooperation and develop ways to address a number of issues related to combating criminal behavior that has long gone beyond boundaries of national criminal justice systems. The conclusion is reached that the year 2020 has brought new challenges to the modern connected world: the COVID-19 pandemic, which indirectly made nations unite in the face of a major healthcare threat; also, in a somewhat secondary mode, new forms of white collar criminal behavior, which spreads across the state borders is caused, either directly or indirectly, by the pandemic, and also a wide range of issues, related to national border protection modes. This requires law enforcement agencies to build up joint efforts in combatting new forms of white collar crime both on national and international levels.

In the context of rapid technological progress, globalization of markets, changing economic and political conditions, as well as increasing environmental challenges, enterprises face the need for constant adaptation and innovation. The aim of the article is to study the impact of global transformations of the business environment on the development of enterprises. The article considers the types of global transformations, which include globalization and the technological, economic, social, environmental, political transformations. The theoretical foundations of globalization, technological changes, economic fluctuations, socio-demographic and environmental challenges, as well as political instability are considered. The factors influencing global transformations are studied, among which technological progress, international trade and investment, changes in consumer preferences, socio-demographic changes, environmental challenges and political instability are allocated. It is identified that global transformations not only create new opportunities for the growth and development of economic entities, but also pose significant risks and challenges. Understanding how to overcome these changes is becoming key factor to ensuring business resilience and competitiveness. The aspects of the impact of global transformations of the business environment on the development of enterprises are analyzed. Both positive and negative aspects of global transformations for business are identified, including the expansion of sales markets, access to advanced technologies and investments, increased competition and dependence on external factors. Thus, in order to thrive in the context of globalization, enterprises must adopt a strategic approach, be flexible, introduce innovations and effectively manage risks. It is necessary to actively implement advanced technologies, adapt to consumer needs, take into account environmental and social factors in its activities and be ready for changes in the political and economic situation.

Postmodernism is a new perspective on science and technology and today's social culture. The main feature of postmodernism is uncertainty. Humans today are in a condition filled with uncertainty, episodic and dynamic lifestyles. Changes in society occur very quickly, it is not uncommon for cultural shocks to occur, including in the world of education. The main goal of education is to humanize humans, so education must adapt to developments that occur locally to globally. Social studies education has a central role in dealing with the dynamics of social change. Postmodernism is one of the crucial challenges in social studies education learning. This study aims to 1) analyze the conditions and challenges of social studies education in the postmodern era and 2) analyze the fundamental skills that need to be taught in social studies education in the postmodern era. This research has a qualitative paradigm using library research. Data collection techniques for the study of related books, articles, and journals, using the hermeneutic data analysis method. Interpretive analysis shows that the emphasis on social studies learning is expected not only to focus on affective and cognitive aspects but also on life skills in the global era, which is synonymous with postmodernism. Adaptation skills, democracy, critical thinking, problem-solving, multiculturalism, socio-cultural relativism, and collaboration skills are needed to equip students to face the dynamics of postmodernism. Therefore, postmodernism in social studies education can be used as a philosophical foundation in the practice of compiling curriculum, materials, and the learning process of social studies education at every level of education.

Abstract: Background: As Philippine School Doha alumni move on and open another chapter in life, they face challenges and new experiences. They may indulge themselves in a new type of environment of rebuilding one's identity abroad. Method: The qualitative paper follows the phenomenological research design to understand the lived experiences and identity development of PSD alumni studying abroad. The necessary data was gathered from a semi-structured interview which was derived from the central question of the study “How do PSD graduates manage their education embracing an international setup?” Four themes were derived and classified that were necessary to make the simulacrum. Findings: It was discovered that internal and external aspects and changes affect one’s ability to adapt to the international setting. Specifically, homesickness, culture, accent, and language barriers are some factors that affect the process of adaptation. The participants emphasized that the workload they experience in the chosen country is more practical and directed on their selected course. Hence, students mostly initiate interaction between both parties. Conclusion: These PSD alumni pursued tertiary education abroad to explore and discover opportunities. Obstacles were encountered due to their unfamiliarity with their reality of venturing into a new chapter of life as a student. Overall, their experience has affected their lifestyle, mental and emotional health, learning outcomes, and relations. Recommendation: This paper suggests tackling a larger population of participants from different fields of college courses to establish the accuracy of the data gathered. They also recommend further investigation regarding the other aspects that affect one's process of acculturating; and lifestyles practiced abroad, such as the cost of living, economic status, and peers. Keywords: Acculturation, Student Resilience, Socio-Cultural Barriers, Cultural Sensitivity, Student Migration, Overseas Education

Background Social prescribing interventions connect mental health service users to community resources, to support physical and mental wellbeing and promote recovery. COVID-19 restrictions impacted the delivery of socially prescribed activities, preventing face to face contact for long periods. Aims The aim of this study was to understand how Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations working with a local NHS mental health Trust responded to the challenges of social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. This understanding will be used to make recommendations for future practice, post-lockdown. Methods Using a convergent mixed methods design, we surveyed VCSE providers of socially prescribed activities intended to be accessible and appropriate for people with severe mental health needs. Follow-up interviews explored further how they adapted during the first year of the pandemic, the challenges they faced, and how they sought to overcome them. The survey and interview data were analysed separately and then compared to identify convergent and divergent findings. Results Twenty VCSE representatives completed the survey which provided a snapshot of changes in levels of connection and numbers reached during lockdown. Of 20 survey respondents, 11 participated in follow-up interviews. Interviews revealed that lockdown necessitated rapid change and responsive adaptation; activities were limited by resource, funding, safeguarding and government restrictions; no single format suited all group members; connection was key; and impact was difficult to gauge. Conclusions VCSE organisations commissioned to deliver creative socially prescribed activities during the pandemic rapidly adapted their offer to comply with government restrictions. Responsive changes were made, and new knowledge and skills were gained. Drawing on experiences during lockdown, VCSE organisations should develop bespoke knowledge, skills and practices to engage service users in future hybrid delivery of arts, sports, cultural and creative community activities, and to ensure that digital activities offer an equivalent degree of connection to face-to-face ones. Additionally, more effective methods of gaining feedback about patient experience of hybrid delivery is needed.

Texto completoResumen
Nous cherchons à identifier les défis des expatriés français installés en Corée du Sud face aux spécificités de la culture locale coréenne, et en particulier aux nouvelles normes d'aujourd'hui dans le monde du travail insufflées par les changements sociaux actuels et la jeune génération en Corée. La Corée présente des singularités fortes pour les expatriés français installés en Corée, et l'un des grands défis consiste à considérer la culture locale et à s'y adapter. Cette thèse vise essentiellement à comprendre l'influence de la culture coréenne sur l'adaptation des expatriés français en contexte local et les défis de leur adaptation interculturelle dans le pays d'accueil. Nous nous interrogerons sur la manière dont les expatriés français interprètent leurs expériences en Corée et comment ils envisagent les rapports au travail des Coréens. En même temps, cette étude s'intéresse plutôt au croisement des deux perspectives culturelles des expatriés français et des collègues locaux, nous observerons comment chacun se représente ces deux côtés et interprète mutuellement les modes de travail et les comportements selon le contexte culturel propre à chacun. À ce jour, les rapports au travail en Corée sont en pleine évolution en corrélation avec l'arrivée progressive dans l'entreprise de la nouvelle génération. Mais face à cette évolution socioculturelle de la société coréenne, la vision française ne reflète pas les normes culturelles des Coréens en transformation. Cette recherche se structure autour de deux volets : interculturel et intergénérationnel, prenant ainsi en compte les évolutions des rapports au travail insufflées par la jeune génération. Le but de cette thèse est d'apporter un regard nouveau dans les approches interculturelles en combinant les problématiques interculturelles et intergénérationnelles. En mettant en relation ces deux différents axes, cette thèse vise à comprendre comment les perspectives croisées peuvent influencer l'adaptation des expatriés français au travail en CoréeOur research seeks to identify the challenges encountered by French expatriates living in South Korea when adapting to the local culture, particularly the new standards of today's working environment inspired by sociocultural changes and Korea's younger generation. French expatriates have found it difficult to adapt effectively to local cultures and traditions, making it one of the great challenges they face. In this context, this thesis aims to understand the influence of Korean culture on the adaptation of French expatriates and the challenges of their intercultural adaptation to the host country. We will investigate how French expatriates perceive their experiences in Korea and what they think of Koreans' approach to work. At the same time, this study is interested in the intersections of the two cultural perspectives of French expatriates and local employees. We will observe how each group represents these perspectives and mutually interprets practices, working methods, and behaviors according to their own specific cultural contexts. However, work values, attitudes, and behaviors in the Korean workplace are rapidly changing due to the new generation entering the workforce. Despite this sociocultural transformation of Korean society, the perspective of French expatriates does not reflect the changing characteristics of the Korean workforce. This research is therefore structured around two points: intercultural and intergenerational, taking into account the changes in job attitudes accelerated by the younger generation. The aim of this thesis is to bring a new perspective to intercultural approaches by combining intercultural and intergenerational issues. By relating these two different points, this thesis aims to understand how the intersection of such perspectives can influence the adaptation of French expatriates working in Korea

AbstractThe 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) was a call from the UN that brought together key players with the objective to provide potential solutions for transforming current food systems and increasing their sustainability, resilience, equitability, nutritional value, and efficiency. Key actors from science, business, policy, healthcare, the private sector, civil society, farmers, Indigenous Peoples, youth organisations, consumer groups, environmental activists, and other key stakeholders came together before, during and after the Summit, to review how food is produced, processed, and consumed across the world in order to bring about tangible, positive changes to the world’s food systems.The White/Wiphala Paper on Indigenous Peoples’ Food Systems (FAO, 2021a) was a critical reference, an evidence-based contribution to the 2021 UNFSS that highlights the crucial role of Indigenous Peoples and their food systems as game-changers and shows us how we can respect, better understand, and protect said systems. The paper resulted from the collective work of Indigenous Peoples’ leaders, scientists, researchers, and UN staff. More than 60 Indigenous and non-Indigenous contributions from 39 organisations and ten experts in six socio-cultural regions were received by the Global-Hub on Indigenous Peoples’ Food Systems. The Global-Hub on Indigenous Peoples’ Food Systems is a knowledge platform that brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous experts, scientists, and researchers to co-create intercultural knowledge and provide evidence about the sustainability and resilience of Indigenous Peoples’ food systems (https://www.fao.org/indigenous-peoples/global-hub/en/), which coordinated the writing and editing of the paper through a Technical Editorial Committee.The White/Wiphala paper emphasised the centrality of a rights-based approach, ensuring Indigenous Peoples’ rights and access to land, natural resources, traditional territorial management practices, governance, and livelihoods, as well as addressing the resilience and sustainability of their foods systems. The paper demonstrates how the preservation of Indigenous Peoples’ food systems is necessary for the health of more than 476 million Indigenous Peoples globally while providing valid solutions for addressing some of the challenges humankind faces on sustainability, resilience, and spirituality.It is essential to note critical developments that have occurred since the White/Wiphala paper was published in mid-2021, the July Pre-Summit in Rome, and the September Summit in New York, followed by COP26 in Glasgow in November 2021.For example, at COP26, little attention was given to food systems, despite their contribution to the climate crisis, with responsibility for 30% of greenhouse gas emissions (FAO, 2021b). COP26 highlighted the need to focus on mitigation strategies and adaptation in the face of the current climate crisis. These strategies must include Indigenous Peoples’ food systems as game-changers for effective climate adaptation strategies that they have been testing and adjusting for hundreds of years.At the UNFSS Pre-Summit in Rome, the Indigenous Peoples’ delegation voiced their concerns and presented three key proposals: the recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ food systems as a game-changing solution; the launching of a coalition on Universal Food Access and Indigenous Peoples’ food systems; and the request to create an Indigenous Peoples’ fund. All their concerns and proposals were rejected at the Pre-Summit, including launching a Coalition on Indigenous Peoples’ Food Systems and Universal Food Access.In the aftermath of the UNFSS Pre-Summit, and thanks to the leadership of the Chair of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII), Indigenous leaders following the UNFSS, seven countries, and the FAO Indigenous Peoples Unit (PSUI), timely discussions and collective work led to the creation of a new Coalition on Indigenous Peoples’ Food Systems.Thanks to the leadership of Mexico and the support of Canada, the Dominican Republic, Finland, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain, along with the support of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII), the Global-Hub on Indigenous Peoples’ Food Systems, and FAO, this Coalition was announced at the New York September UNFSS Summit.The Coalition on Indigenous Peoples’ Food Systems builds upon the White/Wiphala Paper, establishing the objective of ensuring the understanding, respect, recognition, inclusion, and protection of Indigenous Peoples’ food systems while providing evidence about their game-changing and systemic nature. To support this objective, the Coalition organises its work around two main goals: Goal 1: Respect, recognise, protect and strengthen Indigenous Peoples’ food systems across the world; and Goal 2: Disseminate and scale-up traditional knowledge and good practices from Indigenous Peoples’ food systems with potential to transform global food systems across the board.

Abstract To achieve the challenges raised in Agenda 2063 and the Malabo Declaration, new agricultural techniques need to be promoted. Practical approaches to implement climate smart agriculture and sustainable agriculture, able to deliver at field level, are required. These include sustainable soil and land management that allows different user groups to manage their resources, including water, crops, livestock and associated biodiversity, in ways that are best suited to the prevailing biophysical, socio-economic and climatic conditions. The adoption of locally adapted sustainable soil management practices is needed to support climate change mitigation and adaptation from the agricultural perspective. In this sense, Conservation Agriculture (CA) can be adapted to local conditions, and help achieve the key objectives. The application of CA principles brings multiple benefits, especially in terms of soil conservation, but also for mitigating climate change. In fact, CA has the ability to transform agricultural soils from being carbon emitters into carbon sinks, because of no-tillage (NT) techniques and the return to the soil of diverse crop biomass from above-ground parts of plants and from diverse roots systems and root exudates. Similarly, fossil energy use decreases due to the reduction in agricultural operations, and so less CO2 is emitted to the atmosphere. Lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in CA also result, because of reduced and more efficient use of inputs. Scientific studies confirm the sequestration potential of increased soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks on croplands in Africa on each of the continent's major bioclimatic areas. Coefficients of SOC sequestration for Africa are presented in this chapter.

Texto completoResumen
Digital Transformation (DT) is a new socio-technical paradigm that has been reshaping society. The intensification of the use of the most recent digital technologies has triggered the need for significant changes in organizations (e.g. educational institutions, physical commerce), and in their different organizational elements (e.g. processes, technologies, culture). In this context, the problem of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) stands out. They have great value for social well-being due to their ability to generate work. However, they have a long way to go on the path to digital transformation, compared to large companies. Its specific limitations, such as the scarcity of financial resources and the lack of knowledge to deal with DT, accentuate this difficulty. This implies the need to know how to design a more effective DT strategy or process, which makes better use of its scarce resources and which strategically aligns them with the potential of digital technologies. Therefore, with an approach based on knowledge management and interdisciplinary research, the following research question was investigated: how to support SMEs to face challenges and take advantage of the opportunities brought through digital transformation? Therefore, under a systemic view of TD in organizations, a meta-model was proposed, which focuses on the strategic level and initiates the adaptation of business models, through cycles of adaptation and response to new external demands. As theoretical and basic foundations, the Cesm method, the Canvas Business Model, and the organizational resilience mechanisms were used, linked to the Seci knowledge spiral. As a methodological approach, systematic reviews of scientific articles, case studies and business reports were used, combined with the Design Science Research Process (DSRP). The adopted design involved iterative and collaborative steps of conceptual review and refinement of the constructed meta-model, which was subjected to conceptual review through the submission of articles and the analysis of two domain experts in DT. As a final result, the developed artifact is presented, which structures three phases to guide the TD process, focusing on the strategic level of organizations, also recommending steps and samples of support materials (examples of tools to assist TD). As delimitations, it is highlighted that the meta-model does not address elements inherent to the tactical and operational levels of organizations. As limitations, it is pointed out that larger and more diverse samples can be used in the future. Its practical implications are to guide SMEs, indicating where and how to start DT, using phases and steps to guide this process.. As future work, its instantiation in various sectors and organizations of different sizes is recommended, as well as the use of different tools, and measurement of long-term results.

The demographic profile in the United States continues to change dramatically. The Migration Policy Institute (2016) reports that the number of CLD students increased by more than 50% in the past decade and the increase will continue. Key issues that surround the CLD population are the role of language and the conflict between their culture of origin and the new and complex culture they experience in the United States, thereby serving as challenges to adaptation and understanding. Authors and researchers confirm that CLD populations experience stigmatization and stereotyping, exacerbating these language and cultural barriers. This study reveals that Latinx and Arab American families are met with ethnic profiling, census labeling, and traumatic experiences. It is important for educational leaders to face these challenges to push past the barriers and assist CLD in achieving academic success and acceptance.

In 2020, with the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world was confronted with drastic changes that led to challenges, transversal to society. Social inequalities between countries and countries were evidenced, with greater impact on the most vulnerable groups, in poverty or migration. These challenges were particularly reflected in the area of education, highlighting the vulnerabilities of the existing educational model. In the face of an unprecedented crisis, the potential arising from the use of digital technologies, the adaptation of the educational community, as well as the resilience of teachers and students, stood out. This text emphasizes the importance of the use of digital technologies, as facilitators of educational and intercultural integration. Digital technologies in education allow students from different countries and cultures to be integrated, preparing them for the reality of a global, plural and changing world of work. This method, although closer to the social reality, has the limitations, being more adapted to certain target audiences and requiring the student to have a high organization and automotive capacity. Traditional teaching, by stimulating the closer relationship between the teacher and the student, creates a safety net for the student, not leaving him so dependent on himself, forcing him to maintain a constant learning routine. Teaching and learning, at a distance or in person, are distinct realities. The objective is to identify the pillars of each model, strengths and constraints. It is important to take advantage of the challenges that the pandemic has imposed as opportunities, implementing appropriate policies, innovative solutions, supporting teachers, empowering them and improving their skills, as well as that of their students, promoting training in the technological field (Ramos, 2016; Ramos & Lopes, 2021). In an era of globalization and increasing multi/interculturality based on unprecedented technological evolution, the in(success) of teaching, learning and society depend on the definition of policies, open, inclusive and flexible methodologies that integrate the social and cultural diversity in which we live, and are adaptable to adverse and atypical situations. Harnessing these lessons to develop sustainable policies can not only help overcome the current crisis, but also prepare for further future adversities, reducing inequalities and making education increasingly inclusive and quality.

The chapter poses the question: what is the current situation of the film industry in Krakow and what challenges and opportunities will it face in the near future? The analysis conducted in this text makes it possible to indirectly answer the question about the potential role that the film industry can play in the city’s development. The REGON database contains the entries of over 700 business entities in the film industry from Krakow. The largest number of them conduct production (85%), post-production (13%), distribution (1%) and screening (1%) operations. The number of entities in this industry is gradually increasing. The city also has 11 cinemas; 7 are studio cinemas and the others are multiplexes. Krakow is also known for its film festivals, including the oldest Polish festival, the Krakow Film Festival (organized since 1961). Each year the film industry hires graduates of the seven higher education institutions that offer studies in fields related to cinematography. The Polish cinematography is largely dependent on public support offered at the central level by the Polish Film Institute and at the local level in Krakow by the Film Commission. Film producers are required to spend 150% of the Commission’s financial contribution in the Małopolskie Province. Also, co-produced works should have links in their topics to (or at least be produced, even partly in) the region, so that they can have a positive impact on the local film industry. The film industry is currently facing significant changes resulting from the introduction of new technologies, the need for green transition, the changes in the consumption of film products (switching from cinemas to streaming platforms) and the centralization of production in Warsaw. Due to the socio-economic potential of the sector, the attention of the City of Krakow should turn to the appropriate cultural policy regarding that activity, which could create an attractive and competitive place for the production of film art.

The paper investigates circumstances determined modern agriculture and agribusiness challenges and shows methods ensuring sustainability of value-added agriculture and rural areas taking into account, inter alia, climate change, healthy food, organizational and technological progress. The aim of the article is to show that combining the agribusiness circumstances and methods allows to ensure sustainable development, value-added agriculture and rural areas. To verify adjustment farming processes according set up goals the questionnaire survey on farm equipment and information systems was carried out in 2017 in Kujawy & Pomorze region. The questionnaire was sent to all participants in the supply chain of that particular company. The challenge facing modern agriculture is the ability to efficiently implement farm innovations, acquire new knowledge and effective use of the farming progress achievements. Negative effects of intensive farming for environment cause to seek for solutions let face economic and environmental challenges for contemporary agriculture and rural areas development. Serious threatens in a climate change can cause imbalance in food supply and demand. Observed higher frequency and severity of adverse weather events require genotypic adaptation. Hence, some studies on genetic progress in those crops adaptation were presented. Also some approaches how to assess and collect data for yield gap analysis, and to summarize the yield gap explaining factors were identified. The presented results showed that although management and edaphic factors are more often considered to explain the yield gap, both farm characteristics and socio-economic factors often explain the yield gap.

Sustainable cities are urban center engineered to improve their environmental impact through proper urban planning and management. The implementation of green infrastructures is one of the most important characteristics in sustainable cities. Urban green areas play a basic role in the socio-economic development and in the sustainability of the cities. Climate change is one of the factors that needs to be into consideration during the design of sustainable cities, as it constitutes a major problem that humanity has to face. Urban green areas could contribute to mitigate the effects of climate change to cities� adaptation to these effects. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have an important role in addressing the major challenges related to climate change and sustainable development. They are tools that can be used for the monitoring of climate change, such as the absorption of CO2 by urban trees, the mitigation of its effects contributing to the development of the urban green economy. These tools promote new improved relationships between cities and natural environment. Main aim of this paper is to provide the CO2 absorption by urban green areas taking into account the data that entered in the online application which was constructed in the framework of the European project LIFE CliVut (Climate Value of Urban Trees) LIFE18 GIC/IT/001217.

Due to the current transformations of the world regarding climate change adaptation, conservation is an issue of key importance. As new European quality-based agendas are embodying enlarged 21st-century concepts of “heri¬tage”, architects are being faced with the need to develop more efficient use of resources, including better methods to preserve, adapt, and reuse the available building stock. Are the Architecture Schools adapted to these challenges? This paper presents and discusses the results of the online-based survey called “Recent Challenges and Opportunities on Architectural Conservation – Teaching and Research”, addressed to professors participating in the VIII Workshop of the Conservation Network of the European Association of Architectural Education (EAAE) in September 2022. The survey was developed to analyze the current capacity to expand the European debate on sustainability as a tool for new proposals of Architectural Conservation education with a global perspective. The methodology was supported both in quantitative (single or multiple choices) and qualitative (open field) questions, presented online in a web-based form through informed consent in four topics: i) Personal Data; ii) Teaching; iii) Research and iv) Challenges and Opportunities. The results showed that Architectural Conservation profes¬sors feel that “sustainability” might have been progressively emptied of meaning while an “ethical design” is clearer and more operational in Architecture Education involving the recognition of architectural knowledge through analysis of context and development of low-impact actions. However, the survey also proved that “quality” has not yet been completely settled as a “design method” and institutions are still defining their approach towards 21st-century demands. Despite these limitations, this is expected to enrich the discussions about the future of the built environment and contribute to broader definitions of Architecture Conservation as a cultural practice and a profession.

The community of Idlewild, located in Yates Township, Michigan, United States, possesses a significant history as the largest historic African American resort community created during the Jim Crow Era. Established in 1912, it thrived for more than fifty years but declined in 1964, with the passing of the Civil Rights Act. Listed in the Green Book, the historical impor¬tance of Idlewild was recognized at the time as a safe space for African Americans to vacation during the segregation era. At a time when African Americans were systematically pushed to the margins of society, Idlewild was viewed as a place where the luminaries of the black community could safely gather and discuss issues of vital collective interest. With a history of vacillation, today, Idlewild is experiencing a measured resur¬gence in its re-population. and has begun to revitalize, with a new influx of full-time residents. These citizens are moving to Idlewild looking for work-life balance in a rural context as a result of societal factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the Black Lives Matters Movement and most importantly, seeking residency in a historically safe African American community. Notably, this incoming population resides within infrastruc¬ture that was originally designated for seasonal residents, resulting in a new set of needs for community sustainment. The community’s current needs are twofold: first, significant changes to the system that support full-time residents and second, progress that will respect and revive the historical origins of Idlewild. As an African American community discrim¬inatory infrastructure impedes the ability of the community to thrive, and prevents the support required for a robust quality of life. Local systemic change is required, beginning primarily at the township level. Significant concerns include rural tourism, worker retention, cooperative economics, and local living, among other considerations. Recognizing the need to rectify these burgeoning issues, the Yates Township Board approved the pursuit of development of a Strategic Plan. Overarching Outcomes of the approved Strategic Plan were twofold: first, the township grows strate¬gically with prosperity impacting the township’s year-round residents and tourism, and second, the township celebrates and promotes Idlewild as a nationally historic African American cultural community. This paper will focus on the process and introduce the projects of the Ferris State University fourth-year Small Town Studio as they worked with stakeholders in the Idlewild community and aligned their designs with the needs of the client and the newly Overarching Outcomes implemented in the Strategic Plan. This studio is designed to address challenges that archi¬tects face in the field in its social and environmental context. Students research and analyze existing conditions and client needs, define project requirements, and develop macro-level schematic solutions based on input and feedback of a client community. Emphasis is placed on the analysis, process, and synthesis of architectural problems and their solutions.

"Regional Pedagogy: Knowledge Transfer as a Strategic Ally in the Relationship and Development of the Oil & Gas Industry in Colombia and its Direct Influence Communities".

Texto completoResumen
Abstract Over the past 9 years, the escalating conflict stemming from opposition to the oil industry in Colombia poses a significant concern for sector companies (CAMPETROL 2023). In this regard, social investment in the hydrocarbon sector is a key pillar for sustainable development and harmony among companies, communities, and the environment. Additionally, building trust is essential, as it fosters effective and transparent collaboration, allowing communities to engage equitably in projects (ANH 2019). Regional Pedagogy programs not only strategically address knowledge transfer processes but also contribute to the cultural inclusion of the region and the training of change agents who play more participatory roles in building trust and establishing local organic alliances (PNUD 2014). As mentioned by Guevara et al. (2020), the methodology implemented by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Colombian Section is based on the conceptual foundation of the SPE International Energy4Me program, an initiative developed in 2017 that relies on the implementation of didactic laboratories delivering hydrocarbon and energy concepts to the young community. The program presented in this document contributes to community strengthening among participants of different ages through learning as the foundation for their future. Additionally, it serves as a mechanism to characterize alliances in the influence zones of energy sector projects, including the identification of partner types, their level of commitment, and role definition (PNUD 2014). These aspects are crucial for companies when selecting strategic allies in the territory, enabling successful collaboration between communities and companies and enhancing the impact of implemented initiatives. Regional pedagogy programs face several challenges shared with the processes of social appropriation of knowledge (ASC). One of the most important challenges is achieving the participation and engagement of local communities with the various actors in regional pedagogy programs. Without integration between communities and experts, social integration of scientific knowledge becomes difficult. Strengthening the design of tools and methodologies that expand theoretical development based on language adaptation is crucial. It's essential to recognize that most communities have strong ties to their traditions and customs. Therefore, introducing new scientific knowledge may clash with these deeply rooted beliefs, necessitating a sensitive and adapted approach (Minciencias 2021). Identifying and addressing these challenges upfront is crucial in the methodological construction of different regional pedagogy initiatives within the planned scope. The regional pedagogy promoted by the Colombian Section of SPE focuses on literacy programs in the energy industry. These programs are essential in social processes and learning scenarios that explore the dynamics between the industry and communities. Their goal is to facilitate a clear understanding of the relationship, interaction, and impact of processes related to the energy industry (Elshehabi 2019). To achieve this, simple language is used, enabling communication of scientific concepts and community-specific knowledge, thus promoting knowledge exchange.
