In many countries, specific housing programmes have been designed and implemented or attempted to be implemented with varying results, which consisted of activating and subsidising, within the framework of government financial support programmes, investments in the construction of flats, housing estates, houses, etc. The aim of such programmes is primarily to reduce the scale of the housing gap in society by increasing the number of flats and residential houses in the country, increasing to a large extent the availability of housing for citizens, including young people starting families. Besides, in connection with the fact that the construction sector is one of the key cyclical sectors in the economy, so among the key objectives of introducing such programmes within the framework of the government's housing policy is also the activation of economic processes through the creation of an additional economic growth activator, which can also be an important anti-crisis factor in the economy during the forecasted and ongoing economic downturn caused, for example, by international factors, the global economic crisis affecting the open economy. Unfortunately, not all such housing policies have worked effectively. For example, in the country where I operate such a housing policy programme, whose official strategic goal was to counteract the high housing deficit in the country in the face of social needs, was to be the Housing Plus Programme, the implementation of which was started by the PIS government from 2016, i.e. immediately after winning the parliamentary elections. This programme, alongside the social programme Family 500 Plus, was one of the key election slogans before the parliamentary elections held in autumn 2015, which the organised PIS political group won and thanks to which the PIS government, which has been in power for almost 8 years, was formed. Unfortunately, despite the passage of two parliamentary terms and the governments in power, the housing programme announced in the 2015 election campaign has not been implemented on the announced scale. In view of the above, the social and housing current goals of the Housing Plus Programme have only been realised by a few per cent relative to the original plan, the strategic goal of significantly reducing the housing deficit gap has not been realised. In fact, only the political objective of this housing policy programme, i.e. winning the parliamentary elections in 2015 and the local elections held in the following years, has been fully realised.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:

And what is your opinion on this?

Most of the available literature related to vibration of nanobeam with elastic support boundary condition, author use Differential Transform Method (DTM) to solve the governing differential equation. Is there any other method which helps to handle Elastic support boundary condition???

I'm writing a piece on the transition of Iran's government from traditional to digital for the upcoming HICSS conference. I'm targeting the Digital Government track. The deadline is 15 June. I have already collected interesting data through interviews and official documents and developed a raw theoretical foundation.

I'm now looking for a co-author to collaborate with and get the paper done by the deadline. Message me if you are interested. Thanks.

I think the best way to stop the collapse of this bank is to ban a run on the bank and not allow all depositors to withdraw money at the same time. In my theory, "forbid all depositors from withdrawing money at the same time" is a program, and economic activity is a procedure, and the government, as the brain of the country, has the right to establish such a procedure. Of course, what if someone is in urgent need of money? This can be reviewed, by the relevant person to check if he really need the money, this practice is also a program.

The Quantum Computing can is not that far down the road.

Should companies operate without much oversight with a different goal setting than society?

Could you please discuss and send references that countries with successful examples and failure of dividing health authority into subnational governments (Provinces and Local level) after federalism?

As we might not all know, Philosophy governs Physics and other Empirical Sciences in its sphere of competencies, why we have the letters PhD. For example, one of the functions of Epistemology is to classify our knowledges. At first sight, it is hard to believe that it is going to help a scientist for a person that is not doing scientific works everyday.

Scientists, just like a mechanics, needs to use the proper tool(s) for the proper job(s). So, just because of that, it is important to classify the elementary constituents. A more grounded example, it is dangerous to search the unknown with a Principle of Physics that refers to something that is not part of the Periodic Table of Elements (example: Joules). So, one has to either remember the level of trust of all of its work or classify its knowledges systematically. The latter is recommended, just for the reason that it can be used by others later. There are many other advantages!

THE PURPOSE OF THIS POST IS TO ALLOW SCIENTISTS TO DISCUSS ABOUT EPISTEMOLOGY, FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED BY THE SUBJECT.

THIS EXAMPLE DOES NOT COVER ALL TYPE OF MEASUREMENTS AND MODELINGS, JUST THE ONE IN RELATION TO THE PERIODIC TABLE.

In my case, I use the Periodic Table of Elements as the “safest” description of Nature that we have as of today. We can see a sample in Figure #1.

Naturally, I know that we have progressed a lot with the Standard Model of Particle Physics but for the example of classifying the knowledges, the Periodic Table of Elements is more than enough. The periodic table of Elements refers to the Atomic Model, where the protons, neutrons and Electrons define the Element in question. All the basic properties are listed and we can also have the radii of proton, neutron and electron. Visually, it gives something like this for the Isotope 16 of Oxygen, as per figure #2.

See figure #2 attached to this post.

One of the reasons why we need to attach ourselves to a representation of Nature is:

- The Periodic Table of Elements determines what we can measure and what we cannot measure. No, we can not measure Tesla, it is calculated from Volts and Amps!!! When drawing conclusions, one has to remember that.

So, according to the Periodic Table of Elements, we can only measure macroscopically:

1. Volts

2. Amps

Why? Because we are composed of point charged particles in the name of protons, neutrons and electrons. There is no magnetic charge. The only magnetic effect that is created is due to the spin of electrons (which is movement of electrical charge). So, according to the Periodic Table of Elements, only charges and movement of charges can be detected by most measuring instruments. For example, one can not measure Joule with any human instrument(s) that exists. If an instrument gives you a reding in J, it is because it makes a calculation, as Nature is made with point charged particles, dot. My Academy arrived to very interesting results concerning magnetism and electrical charges. All this has been possible by working in a structured manner.

In the same manner, if an instrument gives you measurement in Teslas, it is not directly measured. It is a calculation. Without falling into this other subject, it is one of the “problems” with Maxwell’s Equations. He uses calculations to prove other calculations. I have made a work on the subject that I intend to publish. It clarifies a lot of incorrect understandings of these equations.

In my Academy, I have completed the Periodic Table of Elements and made another model that uses only 1 Fundamental Interaction. I expect to release this model somewhere in the near future. It was at the foundation of one of my scientific projects that has been misunderstood in 2013.

If one can only measure volts and amps, then all the measurement that are not volts and amps are calculations and might refer to something that does not exist in Nature. It will be extremely important to remember this when classifying our knowledges. Indeed, anything that is not in amps or volts is not provable, even if we always get the right results when we do the experiments. Why? We can only measure Volts and Amps, or if you prefer, point charged particles or combinations of point charged particles. At atomic and sub-atomic levels, we have to make little adjustments. I will not cover it in this text (it is already a bit long).

The case of time. When looking at figure #2, the scientist will notice that we only exist at point defined by protons, neutrons and electrons. Hence, it is impossible to determine the atomic distances without DETERMINING C. In my Academy, we all think that C has been determined since it cannot be measured. Time is a problem in Physics for us. It comes due to Human Intuitions. We still have not fixed this problem. It is the same problems, no matter which element we take. This will evidently be the same problems no matter which molecule we take. Indeed, since we can not identify a photon with 100% certainty, it is technically impossible to determine time accurately other than if C is a determined value.

5. The elementary constituents that I defined according to the Periodic Table of Elements & References (Poincaré, 1905) (Sagault, 2009)

1. Measurements or Facts.

2. Principles of Physics are only 100% true in known Physics. Outside of known Physics, it might also be true but we can not be sure. Indeed, a Principle of Physics can not be proven since it refers to something that does not exist in Nature. This would be the case for Elementary Constituents related to Energy, since Energy is not a measured value but a calculated value. What is the nuance Dr Painchaud? The result of a Principle of Physics is not described by the Periodic Table of Elements so it does not exist in Nature. Time is another good example. Hence, even if it is highly logical, it can not be proven.

3. Laws of Physics are always true, dot. If one day a Law of Physics becomes untrue, then it means that the Periodic Table of Elements is not entirely true. Hence, Laws of physics will refer to any generalization (usually, an equation) that can be measured in volts and amps. Any generalization that can not be measured in volts and amps will then become a Principle of Physics because one can only obtain by converting amps into something that is not described by the Periodic Table of Elements.

4. Models of Physics, like the Periodic Table of Elements (Atomic Model) or the Standard Model of Particle Physics. A model of Physics can use Law(s) of Physics, Principle(s) of Physics or fact(s). Its level of trust will generally be attributed in function of the lowest elementary constituents used in the Model. At the end of the day, if the result(s) forecasted by the Model are described by the Periodic Table of Elements, then the level of trust can be equal to the Level of a Law of Physics, as it can be measured in volts or amps. It needs to be analyzed and determined with rigorous method(s). This depends on the leader of the Academy in question.

5. Theories of Physics, that are more for research than for application when it is released.

A good example would be the very well-known Theories of Professor Albert Einstein from Princeton.

- Elementary Constituent.

Based on the above reasoning, my Academy has defined the following ranking for elementary constituents:

1. Facts: Any observation(s) that we make within the frame of an empirical science of nature.

2. Principles: Like the Principle of Thermodynamics.

3. Laws: Like any of the Laws of Physics.

4. Models: Atomic Models (Periodic Table of Elements) or the Standard Model of Particle Physics.

5. Theories: Like Einstein Theories of Relativity.

In the very well-known and respected Special Theory of Relativity, Professor Einstein postulated that:

1. Laws of Physics are the same in all Inertial Frames of Reference.

2. The speed of light has a constant value of C

The first postulate might look evident but one can not subordinate Laws of Physics to a “logical sentence”. Laws of Physics are always true, dot. The way each scientist applies the Laws is another story. In my opinion, it is a structural mistake. But, since Professor Einstein is well-known for being among the cleverest humans, I forecasted a little margin of errors in my reasoning.

The superb work of Special Relativity felt in the “Theories of Physics”, as it was more intended for SR&ED at the time of releases than for practical day to day purposes.

I saw some scientists that are searching the unknown with Principles of Physics, like conservation of Energy (first Principle of Thermodynamics). There is no problem to do that BUT one should remember that a Principle of Physics is NOT PROVABLE. Searching the unknown based on Conservation of Energy is dangerous and exposes the scientist to wrong conclusions or wrong interpretations of results. Again, Joule is a unit that is not measured, it is calculated. Why Conservation of Energy is always true in known-Physics only. It does not mean that it is not true in unknown-Physics but one has to remember that it might induce the scientists in error if it is not true for a particular case.

I saw some scientists and engineers that are measuring Magnetic Fields. I know they know but these values are calculated values. Per the Periodic Table of Elements, we can only measure volts and amps.

The French Academy are much better structured than other Academies, in my modest opinion. The Ecole Normale and other Universities across France are doing a very well, per what I have read on this subject.

The protection of civil liberties and human rights is increasingly important in our ever-changing and interconnected world. A government's duty is to protect the rights of all its citizens and to ensure that, regardless of race, gender, or any other marginalized group, everyone is able to access the same opportunities and protection of their rights. It has become increasingly clear that governments must take active steps to ensure that civil liberties and human rights are respected and protected, as any violation of these rights can have significant implications for a society's overall well-being and safety.

In her essay, Paula Sabloff asserts that:

First and foremost, a democratic government protects people’s human rights as laid out in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Among these are the right to life, to freedom from degrading punishment or enslavement, and to follow one’s own beliefs. They also include the right to citizenship and, most relevant to dignity, the right to self-determination.

If you were asked to complete the sentence: A democratic government must ...

The quality of education and access to lifelong learning are increasingly important topics in a world that is rapidly changing. As technology advances, jobs and skill-sets evolve, making it essential for individuals to have access to quality education and the ability to continually learn new skills in order to stay competitive in the job market and achieve success. Governments play an important role in promoting and providing access to educational opportunities that allow individuals to gain the skills they need to succeed.

Do government-owned firms tend to pursue international operations, or prefer to focus on the domestic market?

The spread of disinformation on social media used by setting up fake profiles and spreading fakenews on these media is becoming increasingly dangerous in terms of the security of not only specific companies and institutions but also the state. The various social media, including those dominating this segment of new online media, however, differ considerably in this respect. The problem is more acute in the case of those social media which are among the most popular and on which mainly young people function, whose world view can be more easily influenced by factual information and other disinformation techniques used on the Internet. Currently, among children and young people, the most popular social media include Tik Tok, Instagram and YouTube. Consequently, in recent months, the development of some social media sites such as Tik Tok is already being restricted by the governments of some countries by banning the use, installation of this application of this portal on smartphones, laptops and other devices used for official purposes by employees of public institutions. These actions are argued by the governments of these countries in order to maintain a certain level of cyber security and reduce the risk of surveillance, theft of data and sensitive, strategic and particularly security-sensitive information of individual institutions, companies and the state. In addition, there have already been more than a few cases of data leaks on other social media portals, telecoms, public institutions, local authorities and others based on hacking into the databases of specific institutions and companies. In Poland, however, the opposite is true. Not only does the organised political group PIS not restrict the use of Tik Tok by employees of public institutions, but it also motivates the use of this portal by politicians of the ruling PIS option to publish videos as part of the ongoing electoral campaign, which would increase the chances of winning parliamentary elections for the third time in autumn this year 2023. According to analysts researching the problem of growing disinformation on the Internet, in highly developed countries it is enough to create 100 000 avatars, i.e. non-existent fictitious persons, created as it were and seemingly functioning thanks to the Internet by creating profiles of these fictitious persons on social media portals referred to as fake profiles created and functioning on these portals, to seriously influence the world view, the general social awareness of Internet users, i.e. usually the majority of citizens in the country. On the other hand, in third world countries, in countries with undemocratic systems of power, all that is needed for this purpose is about 1,000 avatars of these fictitious people with stories modelled, for example, on famous people such as, in Poland, a well-known singer claiming that there is no pandemic and that vaccines are an instrument for increasing control of citizens by the state. The analysis of changes in the world view of Internet users, changes in trends concerning social opinion on specific issues, evaluations of specific product and service offers, brand recognition of companies and institutions can be conducted on the basis of sentiment analysis of changes in the opinion of Internet users using Big Data Analytics. Consequently, this type of analytics can be applied and of great help in detecting factual news disseminated as part of the deliberate spread of disinformation on social media.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

Analyze how internal and external environmental factors can influence government institutions to perform their functions effectively and efficiently to address service delivery challenges in the public sector.

I received an email this morning from an address ending in "@sciencepostnetwork.com". They ask me to provide links to my publications so they can create news stories that can be published in many digital media. Here is an excerpt from the email:

"As Google news receives millions of hits each day from a broader audience including professionals and students, only a few exceptional researchers are selected and invited to submit their work, and you are invited! We are a specialist agency "Scientific Media" working within the research community to produce high-value, impactful communications content for researchers. This content is made available to a broad global audience and distributed to over 500+ premium news sites including Google News, Google News, WND, Bing News, Ask, CBS, CNN, Bloomberg & More, which also include key research community actors, research peers, government figures, funding agencies, policy makers, NGOs, charities, schools and libraries, investors and commercial entities, and many more"

The effectiveness and transparency of public institutions is of paramount importance, as these organizations are responsible for providing key services to citizens, such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure. Furthermore, public institutions are often funded by taxpayers, meaning it is essential that they are held to a high standard of accountability. As such, governments must take steps to ensure that public institutions are both effective and transparent in order to promote good governance and trust in the state.

Access to healthcare is of paramount importance to public health and well-being. Governments have a responsibility to ensure that their citizens have access to quality healthcare in order to maintain a thriving society. Robust public health systems are essential for providing equitable, affordable, and effective healthcare for all. Quality healthcare services must be available to all segments of the population, regardless of income, race, or geography.

Psychological impact of earthquake-related stress can sometimes be detrimental. Suicidal tendency, depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress (PTSD) are some of the effects resulting from earthquake-related stress. How can governments and individuals help deal with earthquake related stress?

In Cambodia, the existence of private education was first to help the government to respond to the need of the people and children for education when Cambodia gained peace from the civil war in the 1980s. Since then, private education has been growing and growing. It looks like that the government has not been able to respond to the need without depending on the private yet.

The relationship between local government and local higher education, e.g., management style, policy requirements, etc.

Royals are now in the past. So we should establish the ultimate democratic system for modern societies in which all decisions are made by all people, not by elected individual leaders, as in the current political systems, who may take advantage of their privileged positions with the rights and powers given to them.

Proponents of gun pocession by citizens claim that it is a neceseccity otherwise it distorts the strong atomism they support, the one that such pocession is a right with political implications (defend from corrupted government).

A majority of these proponents have controversial claims about other civil issues such as IDs necessity, for example.

They might believe that IDs are bad because they make you a number, register your life's dealts etc.

But it has functional roles. How can you be identified as the claimant to a bank if the banker is not a close acquitance?

2 strong arguments agaist popular non hunting gun pocession

People that are proponents of free guns for self Defence right and Defence from corrupted government seizing their state fail to ask important questions. What is the role of police? With regards to corrupted governs there is press power, anti corruption ngo's, institutions to monitor. How can one miss such a big corruption for long enough? One who still holds these arguments in low regard is either is not literate enough of moderncivil political orgamization or undermines its status and wellness of aims to the anarchic level..

Have central banks started a race to raise interest rates? The attempt to fight inflation results in a slowdown in economic growth and a depreciation of the national currency. During the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic, some central banks raced to add money and inject as much added money as possible into the economy treated as anti-decessionary, anti-recessionary money for a situation of exceptional economic crisis caused indirectly by the pandemic and more directly by interventionist type measures. The crash in the financial, capital, stock and commodity markets that occurred in March 2020 and triggered a deep recession in many countries was, among other things, the result of a new crisis factor, a new concept, a new term rapidly disseminated by the media and formally established by the World Health Organisation. This new factor was the establishment of the pandemic condition as a new economic crisis factor, which generated a high level of uncertainty. As a consequence of the interventionist measures applied on a record high scale, large amounts of printed money were pumped into the economies of many countries in 2020. In this way, the economies of many countries were thrown out of relative equilibrium and put on a path of rising inflation, which occurred in 2021 and was exacerbated in 2022 by the energy crisis initiated by the war in Ukraine. For smaller economies and less economically developed economies, raising interest rates will lead to deep economic crises. In 2022, on the other hand, many central banks are successively raising interest rates, commercial banks are so far over-liquid, on the other hand credit is becoming more difficult to access, companies are holding back on new investments, wage growth is slowing, rising unemployment is imminent and possibly stagflation in 2023. This puts the economies even more out of balance, as it will be an economic crisis of 2023 that lasts much longer than the Covidian one of 2020 and is more difficult to control with government interventionist measures, as these measures are exhausting themselves in their existing formulas. Is the so-called anti-crisis economic interventionism from the covid trap now falling into the trap of rising interest rates raised by central banks? To date, interventionist measures by central banks have been treated as the 'last resort' of anti-crisis measures. Perhaps indirectly, this issue has also been highlighted by the Nobel Committee, which awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in Economics precisely for achievements in research on the genesis of emerging banking crises and their resolution by strengthening systemic security solutions for the banking system. But this time, do the hitherto anti-inflationary measures of central banking cease to work when other factors of economic policy, including the mild fiscal policy that activates economic processes, are activated and carried out by the government as part of the so-called policy mix? Should the central bank raise interest rates faster? When applied in parallel with a tightening monetary policy, does an easing fiscal policy result in a limited anti-inflationary effect of raising interest rates by the central bank? Or are commercial banks showing excess liquidity too slow in raising deposit and deposit rates despite the fact that they are raising lending rates? Or are there other reasons for this situation?

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of researchers and academics:

In the context of the ignorance realized in recent years towards the beginning of the climate crisis, towards the progressive process of global warming, the negligence committed in previous years in the development of renewable energy sources and the energy crisis that is currently developing, in the country where I operate the local government is lifting anti-smog restrictions and worsening air quality is it acting anti-socially towards the residents of the municipality. These actions are in complete contradiction with the issue of achieving the goals of sustainable development, with the strategy of a pro-environmental and pro-climate economy, with the principles of green transformation of the economy, with the principles of social responsibility of the activities of public institutions, with the ethics of the standards of a public institution acting for the benefit of citizens and residents of the municipality, with the implementation of pro-social functions of public institutions, etc. In such a situation, in which local governments acting in concert with the central authorities of the state ignore the pro-social goals and principles for which they were established and for which they function, they knowingly contribute to the deterioration of the local climate and environment, deterioration of air quality and deterioration of health. In such a situation, are the next local elections and the possibility of changing the authorities only during these elections a sufficient instrument for expressing one's opinion, one's dissatisfaction with the municipal, socio-economic, environmental, climate, cultural, etc. policies pursued by local authorities? Can the activities of non-governmental organizations, associations and other organizations established from the bottom up by citizens, through which citizens point out the shortcomings and errors committed by local authorities in the framework of the municipal, socio-economic, environmental, climate, cultural policies carried out, be of great help in this regard? A particularly important problem that fosters the development of this kind of anti-social activity of local municipal authorities is, among other things, political connections with the central authorities, which implement analogous socio-economic policies with ignoring climate issues, environmental issues, sustainable development, the need to efficiently and urgently carry out a green transformation of the economy. A fundamental issue in the context of the above-described problem may be the question of political independence of local self-government authorities vis-à-vis the apparatus of the central government of the state in order to maintain high standards of care for the local community, real opportunities for pro-social activities, listening to the needs of the local community of municipal residents and the implementation of pro-social functions by local self-government authorities.

In the context of the issues outlined above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:

I want to see the impact of a certain economy's govt policy on FDI inflows or to attract FDI inflows. I am a bit confused about variables that can be used as a proxy of government policy.

Is government revenue increase research and development activities? If yes then we must say that the there is a positive and significant relation between government tax revenue and economic growth. Need your understandings and suggestions.

In the context of the current energy crisis, there is a growing demand for the creation and industrial-scale implementation of new eco-innovations and green energy technologies that would help citizens and businesses survive the currently unfolding energy crisis. The current energy crisis is characterized by rapidly rising fuel and energy prices and the growing scale of energy shortages. Rising energy and fossil fuel prices are one of the key factors in the acceleration of inflation, which has already begun to rise almost as early as early 2021. In some countries, the government is offering subsidies for the purchase of more expensive fuels and energy. However, this creates another pro-inflationary factor. In view of the above, the creation and implementation of what kind of new eco-innovations and green energy technologies should be covered by interventionist government subsidy programs (purchase of certain types of power, energy sources, e.g. to install photovoltaic panels on the roof of the building, etc.) and subsidies (preparation of homes, buildings, businesses, e.g. insulation of building facades, etc.)?

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:

I want to know how to measure the degree of integration between different agencies or organizations, particularly government agencies. In terms of coordination, cooperation, communication and exchange of information.

I am currently doing research about evaluation of coordination system between government agencies which are related to infrastructure development, planning, design and implementation.

Many governments have opted for a digital transformation for their services (e-government), to evaluate the quality of these e-services and the socioeconomic impact of such transformation, a formal procedure is needed. What are the scientifically sound methodologies to perform such impact evaluation

I have come to the conclusion that chieftaincy and Democracy have similar features. Both have three arms of Government ie Executive, Judiciary and legislative. Why do we have to adopt one to neglect the other, Can we enhance African chieftaincy to suit the African space?

I have used in my current paper the pressure-based solver for air distribution inside the control room, I would like to ask which governing equation determines the velocity field and also the continuity and momentum equations for which purpose work in CFD calculation if there is an explanation

To what degree should governments take an active role in economic development policy in poor countries? Contrast the “laissez-faire” view (exemplified by the Washington Consensus) with more interventionist or “activist” economic policy prescriptions (sometimes referred to as “industrial policy”).

Since Sunday 6.11.2022 in the Egyptian city of Sharm el-Sheikh for about 2 weeks, the United Nations Conference on Mainly Emerging Climate Change, i.e. the UN Climate Summit COP27, is underway, with lectures, debates and discussions on the question of what needs to be done to increase the scale of implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, the development of international cooperation to solve global problems, to slow down the progressive process of global warming, to counteract the negative effects of this process, necessary to take decisions to protect the climate, biosphere and biodiversity of the planet. What needs to be done is obvious, as even the children of the Youth Climate Strike, which has finally been recognized by the UN and admitted to UN Climate Summits since COP27, know this. What needs to be done in terms of urgently and swiftly carrying out a green transformation of the energy sector to avoid or reduce the scale of the global climate catastrophe that may already occur at the end of this 21st century is already well known. Today we have a significantly different reality in terms of environmental and climate awareness in many different circles not only in the scientific community, but also in the media, parts of business, politics, etc. In the reality of the previous energy crisis, i.e. in the 1970s, emerging signals from the world of science informing and warning about the growing risks and threats to the future of the climate, the biosphere, biodiversity, future generations of people resulting from the progressive process of global warming were ignored and swept under the rug in the world of business and politics. As a result, at that time there was also a high scale of ignorance in the media world about the growing dangers of the greenhouse effect generated by increasing greenhouse gas emissions of civilization origin, mainly from the development of dirty combustion energy and ignoring the technological and financial possibilities of developing renewable and emission-free energy sources. Today, the level of pro-climate and pro-environmental awareness is much higher. On the other hand, half a century of time has already been lost, because so much earlier the processes of carrying out a pro-environmental and pro-climate transformation of the classic growth, brown, linear economy of excess to a sustainable, green, zero-carbon zero-growth and closed-loop economy could have been started Now we also know that the key issue is time, in fact, it is already very limited time to carry out a full green transformation of energy but also other pro-climate measures such as. stopping the process of forest deforestation, carrying out the transformation of the agricultural sector towards the development of sustainable organic farming, the development of hydrogen-fueled electromobility, etc. The lost time of the mid-century will not be made up, but there is an opportunity to save a significant part of the planet's biosphere and biodiversity, to slow down the progressive process of global warming, to reduce the scale, also for the next generations of people, of the negative effects of the global climate catastrophe, which, unfortunately, is already imminent, since already in the current 21st century may occur. Now we also know that much depends on the development of international cooperation, including economic and financial assistance from developed countries provided to the economically poorest countries to support the green economic transformation processes taking place in these countries and to mitigate the negative effects of climate change. At the previous UN Climate Summit COP26, a new and particularly important provision and declaration of many countries was the issue of stopping the deforestation of areas of natural forest ecosystems by the end of the current decade, i.e. by 2030. But we now know that waiting until 2030 to fulfill this kind of declaration is not a wise solution either, because in order for the strategic goal of green transformation to be achieved, the goal set during the 2015 Paris Agreement, i.e. limiting the increase in the average level of the atmosphere's temp. by max. 1.5 degrees C counting from the beginning of the first industrial revolution until the end of the 21st century, the mentioned green transformation of the economy globally would have to be achieved not by the end of 2050 but within the current decade. This means urgent and drastic paradigm shifts, new decisions made at the policy level, new green strategies and missions established by many companies, businesses, corporations, including especially those operating in the energy sector. An exceptionally large representation of companies, enterprises, corporations operating in the dirty combustion energy sector at the UN Climate Summit COP27 may prove to be a positive aspect. It will prove to be a positive aspect of this issue if indeed the era of ignorance is replaced by an era of real action to bring about the smooth implementation of a green, i.e. pro-climate, pro-environmental and thus pro-social transformation of the energy sector towards future generations of people. Green energy technologies are already available. For example, clean energy technologies generated from hydrogen power. A transitional solution may be the development of other renewable energy sources. The technology of clean energy generated from nuclear fusion needs to be refined and will also soon be achievable. Banks and other financial institutions are eager to finance the green transformation of the economy. The problem of global warming and its negative effects is a global problem. Therefore, it is necessary to increase international cooperation to increase the scale of support, synergy, simultaneity of the processes of pro-climate and pro-environmental transformation of the economy implemented in all countries. It is necessary to develop green financing of afforestation programs for civilizationally degraded areas and wastelands, since forests are an important factor in absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. Countries characterized by a low level of economic development without external assistance alone are unable to efficiently and quickly make a green transformation of the economy, including, among other things. make the necessary changes in agriculture by changing the dominant crop production models so that this is done according to the model of sustainable organic agriculture production of crops as a source of food primarily for people, which is particularly important in the reality of increasingly frequent periods of drought and other negative effects of the progressive process of global warming, declining productivity in terms of the level of production of crops per hectare, the growing problem of hunger in the poorest countries and often already most burdened by the negative effects of climate change. We know what needs to be done, but we don't really know how to raise the issue of making the green transition a priority of global environmental and climate policy, and how to establish such a priority at the global level. The UN COP Climate Summits are trying to make this happen, but for the time being this is basically done only on the basis of non-committal declarations made by individual countries and, unfortunately, often not all countries, that something will be done about the green transformation of the economy over the next few years or a few decades. And unfortunately, time is short.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:

Geophysicists and the Government of Italy, I propose to contact me urgently.

You all know that a geophysicist has no right to make a forecast for the public.

I now have only one L-wave sensor and it is installed in the house, there is no protection against technical noise, therefore I have no right to give any forecasts and I cannot give 100% certainty.

However, if you are expecting a high-loss earthquake, please contact me immediately. I am ready to receive your representatives in Haifa, conclude an agreement and show how the sensor is made, set up communication with seismic stations in Italy, and possibly in the Vrancea zone. This will allow you to get accurate forecasting ten hours before the start of an earthquake in your area. We see that after the earthquake, surface waves continue to fluctuate and we see a serious earthquake on the opposite side of the planet (Fiji). This is not a harbinger, but it indicates an increase in the planet's seismic activity.

Sincerely. Alexandr Yagodin.

WO2008053463 - SYSTEM OF THE PREDICTION OF THE EARTHQUAKE

Financing and oversight of electoral campaigns in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia.

Are the inflationary increases of mid-2022, among other things, the result of a developing price-wage spiral realised objectively in the commercial sectors of the economy or rather the result of an income-price spiral generated by subsidies, handouts, subsidies, etc. realised by interventionist government programmes of populist social policy and soft fiscal policy, carried out by public sector institutions of socio-economic policy programmes realised using the state's public finances?

If there are significant differences between countries on the above issue, what are these differences determined by? Are the sectoral/industrial structure of the economy and the extent of state interventionism applied by the government among the key determinants of the aforementioned differences?

Hi

Due to media fragmentation, marketing and communication departments of large corporates (and government) are struggling to come up with a structural model that works. There's the option of using one ad agency for everything, or a panel of them for lots of things. Or to go in-house and use the gig economy, or to decentralise and let each department fend for themselves. Lots of options - but there is nothing definitive yet. Please let me know if there's any data on this.

Thanks

We are currently trying to calculate the lattice thermal conductivity of several metals (Ni, Cu, Pd, Ag, Pt and Au) using the non-equilibrium Müller-Plathe method in LAMMPS. We are considering big supercells (20x20x20 unit cells, 70k+ atoms) for each elemental metal separately. The interactions between atoms are mediated by the well-known MEAM potential. The heat flux is tallied using the fix thermal/conductivity command, and temperature profiles are recorded using the compute chunk/atom and fix ave/chunk commands. Please find attached the typical input run for reference. We have successfully run this for other systems (molecular liquids governed by OPLS-AA), but for MEAM metals we found that the temperature profiles are basically erratic noise. While the lattice thermal conductivity of metals should low, we do not expect it to be completely negligible.

Is anyone aware of existing problems with the application of the Müller-Plathe method together with the MEAM potential? Is there particular requirements for such a case? We have played with the Nevery and Nswap parameters in the fix thermal/conductivity command with no success.

Thank you in advance for your attention.

I ask because this kind of financing of various government social and economic programs has prevailed since the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic in the country where I operate. On the other hand, the indebtedness of the country's public finance system has been growing successively for many years, both in absolute terms and in relative terms expressed in terms of the ratio of budget deficit and public debt to GDP (for several years now). The country's possibility of direct purchase by the national central bank, i.e. the National Bank of Poland, of Treasury-issued government bonds and rollover Treasury bonds during the global financial crisis of 2008. At that time, monetary policy also changed regarding Poland's possible adoption of the euro single currency. Since the adoption of the euro single currency would have entailed the loss of the National Bank of Poland's key functions as a national central bank, i.e. first and foremost the functions of the state bank and the issuing bank, which functions of national monetary policy would have migrated to the European Central Bank. If this were to happen then the government would lose the key instrument of anti-crisis measures it has been using on a historically large scale since the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) Coronavirus pandemic, which is the ability to add domestic money and introduce this additional money (without coverage in manufactured products and services) into the economy through the above-mentioned mechanism of direct purchase of Treasury bonds by the central bank, i.e. the National Bank of Poland. Most of this additional money is introduced into the economy extra-budgetarily (it is not included in the annual state budget) through government-controlled public institutions, i.e. Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego and the Polish Development Fund. Special purpose funds are created in these institutions to finance specific government anti-crisis, pro-development, social and investment programs. When, at the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) Coronavirus pandemic, the government decided to use this anti-crisis mechanism then economists independent of the government signaled that the result would be a large increase in inflation which then occurred almost from the beginning of 2021. On the other hand, the state of the country's public finances is taken into account in the development situation at the supranational rating agencies and investment banks. Recently, the cost of servicing public debt began to rise strongly in Poland. At the end of October 2022, the yield on domestic Treasury bonds offered to foreign investors rose to as high as 8-9 percent.

This means raising the financial risks associated with the fiscal policy pursued in recent years and the growing indebtedness of the state finance system.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:

If a government agency contracts for and establishes an administrative AI system that makes errors, should the government be liable in tort for those errors?

During the 1st wave of the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic in March 2020, the stock markets crashed. Energy and industrial commodities fell sharply on the commodity exchanges. A stock market crash also occurred on the stock markets. The main factor in the panic on the capital markets was the declaration of a global coronavirus epidemic, or pandemic state, by the World Health Organisation on 8 March 2020. This new term 'pandemic' itself created fear and uncertainty in the context of financial markets and economic processes. During the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic, there were also disruptions to international supply and supply logistics chains, government imposed quarantines and lockdowns imposed on selected sectors of the economy which increased the scale of the 2020 recession. As a result of these mainly interventionist actions by central institutions, a deep economic crisis emerged in 2020, the economy declined in many sectors of the economy, and economic process activity declined. The result of the decline in economic activity was a decrease in demand for raw materials, including energy raw materials. Due to the increase in remote working by employees of many companies from home, the use of cars, especially combustion cars, decreased. As a result, air quality and the state of the environment noticeably improved in 2020. In addition, opportunities have arisen to accelerate pro-climate transformation processes in the economy. Unfortunately, in many countries these opportunities have not been seized. For example, in the country where I operate during the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19), the government used printed money to provide financial public assistance to companies and enterprises operating in a wide variety of industries and sectors, not just those in lockdowns, on a historically record scale. Many companies and enterprises that were in good financial standing also benefited from these programmes of non-refundable financial subsidies, employee wage subsidies, tax relief, deferrals of contributions to the social security system and so on. The scale of the granted non-refundable public aid realised on the basis of printed money introduced extra-budgetarily by government funds created especially for this purpose was so large that inflation began to rise in Poland almost from the beginning of 2021. Citizens invested the extra, free money in shares and flats, which caused an increase in the prices of these assets. On the other hand, opportunities to accelerate the processes of pro-climate transformation of the economy were missed by the government. Subsidies for the development of renewable energy sources were not increased and were even reduced on some issues. Since April 2022, the government has reduced subsidies and worsened the economic conditions for the installation of photovoltaic panels by citizens on the roofs of their houses. There is a lack of subsidies for insulating the facades of buildings and single-family houses, installing photovoltaics, installing heat pumps and other renewable energy solutions. Poland has still not met the European Union guidelines for receiving EU subsidies to finance projects that could be implemented under the National Reconstruction Programme. As a result, the development of renewable and emission-free energy sources has slowed down instead of accelerating as it could have done during the pandemic. Unfortunately, still the process of pro-environmental and pro-climate transformation of the energy sector is progressing much slower than it could if the issue of green transformation of the economy was not ignored in the political and business spheres in Poland. The result of these omissions, neglect and ignorance is the current low level of energy independence and security in Poland in the context of the currently developing energy crisis. The result of this neglect is also the poor air quality in Poland. Poland has one of the worst air quality in the world. Poland is one of the 3 countries in Europe with the highest mortality rate caused by poor air quality polluted with various toxins resulting mainly from the dominant dirty energy industry based on burning fossil fuels. In addition, even more negative consequences of these omissions, negligence and ignorance appear in the future, when the process of global warming will significantly accelerate in the next decades and lead to a worsening of the climate crisis and to a climate catastrophe, which may already occur at the end of this 21st century.

The potential for accelerating the processes of pro-climate transformation of the economy that occurred during the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic was described in my publications, which I posted on my profile of this Research Gate portal after publication:

Is the similarity transformation the sole way of transforming the boundary layer governing PDEs into ODE ?Or do we have any alternative ways of doing it??

The incoming, centre-right Italian government has renamed the ministry of agriculture and the new name will be the ministry for "sovranità alimentare", literally "food sovereignty". The initiative has precipitated a series of reflections on the relationship between food sovereignty and political sovereignty. These reflections aim to secure a sharp differentiation between the two, but I wonder whether the difficulty is not the product of insufficient attention to the difference between security and sovereignty. Does anyone have any views on the matter?

There are indications that a not insignificant segment of the US population favors or actively supports a government that centralizes political power in one official or small group and which only nominally respects democratic elections, political plurality, the rule of law, and the separation of powers in maintaining control and the status quo. Neither political science nor suicidology seem to have pondered how suicide prevention will be affected under an authoritarian form of government. It might not be too early to start pondering,

We know something of the relationship between this form of government and suicide. Countries with some type of authoritarian rule have among the highest suicide rates in the world. There is evidence that this may be due to some degree to the detrimental effects such systems have on individual mental wellness. Depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and a general sense of helplessness seem inherent to even low doses of civil authoritarianism. These are all risk factors that may beget other risk factors.

There are several not so subtle hints as to how an authoritarian system may affect suicide prevention. Restrictions on free exchange of information and an aversion to scientific inquiry top any list. The behavior of authoritarian officials and governments towards prevention and control of public health challenges like COVID-19 do not raise hopes regarding meaningful suicide prevention. Warping institutions that suicide prevention relies on for support and objective data (e.g., the US CDC) will take a heavy toll.

A lack of empathy for the suffering that suicide causes may be the most harmful consequence. Worst yet authoritarians are not known for their compassion toward the vulnerable. Benign neglect may be the best that an authoritarian government can muster and maybe not even that. Even authoritarian regimes require some measure of buy-in from those they rule. However, with the vast array of societal problems that tend to worsen under authoritarian systems, suicide prevention is not likely a concern that the masses will take to the street over.

We’ll leave it at that and hope you can add other factors. Thanks!

I need proper explanation of linear thermal radiation and nonlinear thermal radiation. And how to differentiate whether a particular fluid flow is subjected to linear or nonlinear thermal radiation by observing the governing equations?

Several terms are used in academia for the services provided by Government institutions and departments in urban and rural areas at national, provincial/state or local/district levels.

These terms include public services, civil services, urban services, local services, and municipal services. Is there any overlap among services or clearly divided?

Please, I need, if available, some important research papers which relate the theory of dynamical systems to climate change. Also, in general, I know there are a lot of published research articles that relate dynamical systems to many applications. But, are there papers that research centers and governments depend on that before taking any procedures? I mean, are there papers, especially on climate change and the environment, which are not only in theory but have practical applications?

In the context of the forecast decline in the economic activity of companies and enterprises in the coming quarters, the projected downturn in the national and regional economy, the decline in production and investment, the increase in unemployment and the current economic problems associated with high inflation, the importance of activating entrepreneurship and innovation of economic entities is growing. Within the framework of the interventionist, anti-crisis, Keynesian socio-economic policy, the government and central government agencies carry out programmes to activate entrepreneurship and innovativeness of economic entities, including companies and enterprises of the SME sector using specific financial instruments of fiscal, budgetary, sectoral policies, etc. On the other hand, a particularly important role in the activation of entrepreneurship and innovativeness of business entities of the SME sector operating in the area of the local economy of the municipality is also played by local government units. Local self-governments play an important role in terms of activating entrepreneurship and innovation, in terms of developing cooperation with local business, supporting the development of cooperation and clusters of companies cooperating with other entities, stimulating economic development in the area of the municipality, in the region. Effectively and efficiently conducted by local governments in this regard can significantly reduce the scale of downturn development in the local economy. When many units of local self-government efficiently activate economic processes, entrepreneurship and innovativeness, then the whole national economy goes through an economic crisis, recession, downturn more smoothly. As a result, the scale of the increase in unemployment and economic downturn is lower.

Scientists are trained to only use data for decision-making or other purposes that is of proven high quality.  Government agencies are known to use data of lesser or unproven quality in some of their regulatory programs and risk assessment products.  Some of these papers or reports lack a materials and methods section or provide only limited information on how the reported work was performed.  Is it acceptable scientific practice to use epidemiology, toxicology or dose-response data for standard/guideline calculation when the materials and methods section of a source document is missing or limited?  Reviewing many of USEPA's RfDs, used as an input to calculate drinking water standards, makes one wonder if this is a common practice by USEPA or other government bodies.  Is such a practice ever acceptable? What is your experience?

There is a serious push in the USA right now August 2022 to save the trees on government land from logging by executive order or by law under the stressor that “Saving the trees that belong to society cost nothing”. And this means the land use called protected use costs nothing,

And this raises the question, Does the protection of trees/forest land under government ownership cost nothing to society?

What do you think?

Please share your own views on the use protection question.

Biden administration instructs all US agencies to require immediate access to federally funded research after it is published, starting in 2026. US government reveals big changes to open-access policy (nature.com)

Is there any publicly available dataset that provides internationally-comparative economic variables, including government expenditure, population, territorial size, per capita GDP, trade, infrastructure, conflict events, etc from 2000 onwards ?

What role in the shaping of citizens' pro-environmental attitudes and the implementation of pro-environmental and pro-climate measures do local government units play?

What arguments can you give in support of the thesis that local government units play an important role in shaping citizens' pro-environmental attitudes and implementing pro-environmental and pro-climate undertakings.

What examples can you give of pro-environmental measures and pro-climate projects implemented and/or coordinated by local government units?

For example, do the local and regional authorities you know develop waste segregation programmes, expand green areas in cities, build municipal and/or other wastewater treatment plants, organise events to raise pro-environmental and pro-climate awareness among citizens, create flower meadows on city lawns, promote and develop electromobility on city public bus transport, subsidise the purchase of hydrogen-powered buses, etc.?

I am using a three variable VAR(1) model to analyse the effects of government expenditure and government revenue on GDP in the UK. I have attached my stata output. The dlnGovExp P>Chi isnt significant, what does this mean? Can I carry on with my analysis?

Is there a regulation/law that governs or prohibits the sharing of closed access articles to individuals who privately request for? As a researcher, I would love to have my work read, but at the same time I want to adhere to the rule of law. Any thoughts?

Certain critical theories have informed government policy formulation and implementation in higher education. An examination of the appropriateness and limitations of these theories is valuable to education policy makers and education managers who implement the policy.

Elective procedures were temporarily suspended several times over the course of the pandemic of COVID-19 worldwide. In Brazil, there was a reduction of 46% in the number of elective procedures carried out in the public health system in the first 9-month of the COVID-19 pandemic (please see the paper below).

Although it is a pressing issue in Brazil, the government seems to not have a planning for the recovery of elective procedures in the country. What about other countries? What actions have been implemented?

Public procurement denotes the attainment of goods, works, or services required by governments through contracts. Public procurement is usually plagued with covert practices and exclusive forms of corruption in Bangladesh. The cost of development finance is much higher in public procurement than that of others in Bangladesh. There have been no unified rules or laws regarding government purchases since 2006. The Government of Bangladesh enacted its ever first act of public procurement, the Public Procurement Act, 2006 (PPA, 2006), and the Public Procurement Rules, 2008 (PPR, 2008). The procurement entity must disseminate procurement information through electronic medium i.e. Electronic Government Procurement (hereinafter e-GP). Despite passing over an era since its enactment, the role of the PPA, 2006 remains seriously under-researched area, specifically there is no research on the issue of the grievance redress mechanisms. The study has been done using a qualitative case study methodology, backed by both primary and secondary documentary analysis. Based on empirical data, this paper explained the role of digitalization in the process of government procurement and depicted changes that have been brought by the implementation of e-GP in government purchases. However, it concluded that the grievance redress mechanism in the process of procurement is only existing in the policy papers which need mandatory implementation for a transparent and accountable governance system. Despite the significant changes and up-gradation in digital government procurement, it is hardly found that the GRM process is digitalized. And the mass tenderers are yet to be acquainted with the improvised system apart from the consistent efforts of the government.

The Sri Lankan economy is in bad shape.

Sri Lanka Holds its Breath as New PM Fights to Save Economy

ttps://thediplomat.com/2022/06/sri-lanka-holds-its-breath-as-new-pm-fights-to-save-economy/

" They say economic mismanagement, policy blunders like a hasty ban on imported chemical fertilizers that devastated crops, and a government stocked with Rajapaksa relatives caused the crisis."

The past experience says that recovery of such economy is difficult and the time / extent of recovery is unpredictable.

What are the ways to bring back a collapsed economy back to track?
