International Cooperation - Science topic

The Covid-19 pandemic contributed to the modification of globalization processes. The pandemic caused an increase in the scale of the processes of information globalization, technological globalization, etc., including, among other things, also affecting logistics processes and chains. Due to broken logistics chains, the scales of economic globalization processes have decreased. On the other hand, the scale of ecological globalization processes may have also increased. My research shows that globalization processes of different nature have been taking place in recent years. A distinction is made in this connection between economic globalization, information globalization, technological globalization, communication globalization, cultural globalization, mental globalization and ecological globalization, etc. Each of these globalizations generates various positive and negative aspects. In each of these globalizations, either positive or negative aspects prevail, specific aspects that may have already appeared at the genesis of certain globalization processes, or when globalization significantly increased its impact on the economies of individual countries, on the operation of certain corporations, on people and their awareness of the modern world, and so on. In recent years, for example, information globalization has been particularly strongly developed through the Internet. In recent years, the importance of communication globalization associated with the development of tourism has gained additional cognitive aspects in connection with, for example, the development of the Covid-19 pandemic. The acceleration of the development of internationally and globally operating corporations, which has been taking place for several decades, has increased the importance of economic globalization processes. Also, the removal of barriers to cross-border flows of goods, services, factors of production, financial capital are also counted among the key source factors of economic globalization. Globally operating investment banks and investment funds generate processes of financial globalization. With the growing global importance of a particular currency, monetary globalization is deepening. The development of the European Union is an example of simultaneously occurring different aspects of globalization processes. Increasing the scale of the share of tourism services in GDP in some countries increases the importance not only of communication globalization but also of cultural globalization, as people learn the values of other cultures, other communities, other countries, etc. Significant factors in such globalization processes also include the globalization of certain fields of art, such as filmmaking or certain specific works of art. Various aspects of globalization are developing, for example, online computer games played by people living in different parts of the globe. In this way, the overall social consciousness of the inhabitants of planet Earth is being globalized, and globalization of a mental nature is taking place. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the importance of the digitalization of economies increased, including the exchange of information, the continuation of educational processes in schools and universities, the implementation of professional activities, the performance of work in various professional positions through the Internet, i.e. in remote online form. These processes have increased the importance of information and technological globalization concerning ICT, Internet technologies, Industry 4.0 and their use in various branches and sectors of modern economies. If a particular framing, interpretation of a global problem such as the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic or environmental-ecological problems, including, for example, the global littering of the environment with plastic, the global nature of climate change, the progressive process of global warming, the need to develop international cooperation in the increasingly globalizing environmental policy, the implementation of the principles of sustainable development, etc., is spread, then the global significance of a particular idea is strengthened. In such a situation, specific examples of mental globalization are included in the research. In view of the above, an objective assessment of a holistic, comprehensive, integrated view of globalization processes is not easy. In order to increase the accuracy and objectivity of this type of assessment it would be necessary to take into account many, thousands of factors of various globalization processes and, taking into account their importance, relative level of significance, variability over time, etc., conduct this type of analysis using a complex, multi-faceted analytical model and advanced IT data processing technology, for example, using Big Data Analytics technology. By using this type of analytical approach, it is much easier to undertake analysis and evaluation of a certain type of globalization processes, i.e., for example, economic globalization, information globalization, technological globalization, communication globalization, cultural globalization, mental globalization, environmental globalization, etc. The research also shows that the impact of globalization on society and the environment can be large. During the Covid-19 pandemic, international, including intermodal logistics chains were temporarily interrupted is some production processes may be transferred to other countries. This led to a situation where multinational corporations that had divided their production processes in previous years into stages carried out in plants and factories located in other countries now, due to supply logistics problems, may return to the concept of concentrating the entire production processes in the same countries, in the countries of the company's headquarters or in countries that are much shorter distances away. It has happened that many factories have returned from developing countries to developed countries despite slightly or significantly higher production costs. In this way, the risk of sourcing, procurement logistics, etc. was greatly reduced. If such internationally happening economic processes are also realized in the years to come, then the retreat of economic globalization processes will deepen. Besides, also between the issues of ecology, sustainable development, climate change, the process of global warming, etc. and globalization can also be diagnosed many correlations. The promotion of the idea of sustainable pro-ecological development principles, including the implementation of ecological innovations into economic processes, should be an important factor in the current information globalization carried out through various media, including online media and social media. More and more institutions promoting the principles of sustainable pro-ecological economic development are operating beyond national borders. The development of international cooperation for greater and more effective integration of political, business and social activities in implementing the principles of sustainable pro-ecological economic development, spreading the concept of green closed-loop economy, introducing ecological innovations, including reforming the energy sector and developing renewable energy sources, developing electromobility, improving waste segregation, developing recycling is insufficient, is too small. Therefore, the transfer of technology and innovation, including ecological innovation between countries should be improved and developed. In order to increase the global scale of implementation of ecological innovations into economic processes, it is necessary to improve the logistics of international transfer of ecological technologies. In my opinion, environmental policy should be internationally synchronized. There should be greater compatibility and supra-national cooperation on the implementation of ecological innovations into economic processes, pro-ecological reforms in the energy sector, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and improvement of recycling processes, waste segregation and reclamation of areas of the natural environment degraded by industrial development. Supra-national institutions such as the UN, the World Bank, etc., should be given greater importance in coordinating the solution of global problems such as the ongoing process of global warming. In view of the above, globalization processes have a large multifaceted impact on society and the environment. In view of the above, the Covid-19 pandemic has set back some issues of globalization processes and the development of deglobalization processes. Therefore, now a fully legitimate research question may be the issue of resolving whether, after the pandemic, again the processes of globalization, including economic globalization began to develop and return to the state before the pandemic, or vice versa, i.e. whether the processes of deglobalization continue to dominate and perhaps deepen? What are your thoughts on this issue? I invite you to discuss this topic and to cooperate with me in research.

I am conducting research on this issue. I have included the conclusions of my research in the following article (top cited in my scientific publication):

For the purposes of this discussion, I also provide a link to an article of my co-authorship on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the processes of globalization and the development of deglobalization processes:

Doing research on how the treaty of Versailles led to secularism in Europe

International scientific cooperation plays an important role in the development of science and scientific research. In recent years, the development of online knowledge bases, online indexing databases of scientific publications, online science portals facilitates the development of international scientific cooperation. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the scale of remote communication conducted via the Internet increased significantly. The scale of realization of scientific conferences and symposia remotely through online video conferencing platforms has increased. With online science portals enabling discussions, the development of scientific cooperation on an international scale has been facilitated. Thanks to the aforementioned online science portals, i.e. this Research Gate portal, it is possible to set up and operate international research teams, where researchers and scientists operating in different countries can conduct collaborative scientific research, exchange experiences from their research, jointly publish the results of their research work in scientific articles and monographs. I hereby inform you that I am open to scientific cooperation, including scientific cooperation carried out internationally. I invite you to publish the results of the conducted scientific research in a scientific journal:

"International Journal of Legal Studies" (ISSN 2543-7097):

Legal sciences, normative aspects of various issues, various issue described in normative terms:

Publisher: International Institute of Innovation "Science - Education - Development" in Warsaw

"International Journal of Legal Studies" is a scientific journal published semi-annually (semiannual). After the publication of each issue of the journal, all articles are posted in a number of databases for indexing of scientific publications in the formula of open access. This significantly increases the visibility of articles on the Internet and translates into higher citability.

I invite you to join me in scientific cooperation.

In the sectors of manufacturing companies, financial institutions, online technology companies, online shops, etc., which experienced strong sales increases during the pandemic, the scale of business cooperation between business entities may have increased significantly. In contrast, in service sectors subject to lockdowns, forced reduction or real temporary cessation of business activities, sectors in lockdown-induced crisis and recession, the scale of development of business cooperation between economic operators may have decreased significantly. During the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic, lockdowns imposed on selected service and commercial sectors of the economy were introduced in some countries, triggering an economic recession in mid-2020. In addition to this, international supply and procurement logistics chains were disrupted which further reduced the ability to produce certain types of goods and exacerbated the economic crisis. As a result, some operators decided to carry out recovery programmes and to increase the scale of their business using the Internet, including providing their services, offering products via the Internet, selling their product and service offerings online, improving e-logistics and remote Internet communication. Therefore, as a result of the downturn in the economy, the decline in economic activity, the scale of business cooperation in many businesses may have decreased. However, on the other hand, the scale of business and other cooperation conducted through remote Internet communication, the development of e-logistics, online payments and settlements, etc. may have increased.

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

And what is your opinion on this topic?

Scientific cooperation can develop on the scale of specific scientific and research institutions, scientific and teaching institutions, research and development centers, research and implementation laboratories, educational institutions, research centers and laboratories of companies and enterprises, government agencies dealing with science and scientific research, local government institutions and non-governmental organizations whose activities are based on the results of scientific research, and so on. Scientific cooperation can develop on a national and/or international scale. Scientific cooperation can develop in one or more scientific disciplines, i.e., interdisciplinary. Scientific cooperation may develop, among other things, in terms of conducting exchanges of experience in scientific research, joint team research, joint team publication of scientific research results, etc. Online indexing databases of scientific institutions, indexing of scientific publications, indexing of scientific persons, researchers and scientists, etc. can be helpful in establishing scientific cooperation. Besides, Internet portals that enable remote through the Internet to exchange scientific experiences, discuss scientific topics, etc. can also be helpful in developing scientific cooperation. An example of this kind of scientific portal is this Research Gate portal, where we can hold discussions on scientific topics, ask questions and answer questions in the discussion forum. In this way, new scientific cooperation can also be initiated, which I hereby encourage.

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

Colleges and universities, as part of their teaching and research activities, research work carried out, adaptation of curricula to the changing realities of the modern economy, support for students in terms of cooperation with potential employers, institutions that may be the subject of written theses, support for the development of innovative startups founded by students, performance of research and analytical commissioned work, establishment of cooperation clusters, development of reports on the development of selected spheres, branches, problems of the modern economy, civilization, etc., undertake cooperation with various economic entities and public institutions. Such developed cooperation between universities and other entities, enterprises, companies, financial institutions and public institutions, cultural institutions, etc., can significantly contribute to increasing innovation in the economy. A key issue is to involve students in the development of such cooperation. Improving the aforementioned cooperation can and should result in better adaptation of the research work carried out at universities to the increasingly rapidly changing trends in the economy. The implementation of new ICT, Internet and Industry 4.0/5.0 information technologies, including generative artificial intelligence technology into universities should foster the development of such cooperation.

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

The 28th UN Climate Conference (COP 28) will be held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from November 30 to December 12, 2023. In view of the fact that 2023 was the warmest year in 125,000 years, so the question is increasingly topical: Why are the pledges made by governments and corporations at the UN COP Climate Summits to accelerate the processes of green transformation of the economy not being implemented or only marginally implemented? The COP28 Climate Summit once again points to the need to raise funds to help economically underdeveloped countries and those particularly burdened by the negative effects of the accelerating process of global warming to finance pro-environmental and pro-climate economic ventures, create solutions to reduce the aforementioned negative effects of climate change, and prevent the development of these negative effects, including but not limited to building power plants based on renewable and zero-emission energy sources, building additional irrigation systems, desalinating seawater, developing climate-resilient construction, developing sustainable agriculture adequately protected against increasingly frequent and severe periods of drought, counteracting the progressive process of soil aridity, stopping the progressive process of deforestation of tropical rainforests, and so on. In addition, once again, as at previous UN COP climate conferences, the same demands were made, including, among others, that there should be no more support for fossil fuels, as unfortunately these subsidies are still in place. In addition, that the continuing processes of forest deforestation should be replaced with aforestation, among other things, in industrially degraded areas, that the rapid decline in the biodiversity of the planet's natural ecosystems should be halted, that expansive industrial agriculture should be replaced with sustainable organic farming, that waste generation should be reduced and closed-loop economics should be developed, and so on. However, at the current UN Climate Conference COP28, strongly controversial issues have emerged, which may suggest that the issue of urgently accelerating the green transformation of the economy is still not taken seriously by some countries. Well, the UN Climate Conference COP28 will be chaired by a board member of one of the world's largest oil companies. The hosts of this year's COP28 Climate Conference, the Saudis want to promote technologies to capture CO2 from the atmosphere and do not want to reduce oil production. Unfortunately, this way the climate crisis will not be solved. This issue evidently confirms the thesis that countries that have developed large-scale fossil fuel extraction and/or processing industries are not interested in seriously, efficiently and quickly implementing the green transformation of the economy.

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

And what is your opinion on this topic?

Greetings, I was wondering what are some qualitative methods that:

1)are credible globally (considering there are many qualitative methods)

2) can be performed with the least budget but can also produce high-quality results

3) can address different data collection methods which may either collect both primary and secondary data

4) disregard of the affiliation, (which is an independent researcher) a method that has more chances of its proposal being accepted by other researchers for collaboration

AND

why?

Would appreciate the response from fellow researchers

Describing Three Seas Initiative in the light of constructivism should base on an examination of regional cooperation in the CE region in the context of two types of knowledge: knowing-that and knowing-how. In addition, it is significant to underline Azizov described the knowing-how and knowing-that approach as two different types of knowledge that are relevant in the context of international cooperation. Knowing-how is practical knowledge, related to skills, experience and intuition, and knowing-that is theoretical knowledge, related to facts, data and information.

International cooperation requires both practical and theoretical knowledge, because the ability to solve practical problems (knowing-how) is as important as understanding concepts and theories (knowing-that). Thus, the constructivist aim will be the examination of the current state of countries' approaches and their perceptions of the future form and meaning of 3SI.

I would like to carry out an evaluation process of the Three Seas Initiative based on a constructivist model. Hence my question - what in your opinion are the features of constructivism that can be used as evaluation criteria for 3SI? Which perspectives can be used to qualify 3SI towards this theory?

In pursuit of sustainable development goals, countries should cooperate, develop international trade and help each other not only economically, but also socially, in terms of food, medicine, dealing with the negative effects of natural disasters, etc. The issue of aid should be provided mainly by rich and highly developed countries towards economically underdeveloped countries. This support should be developed with respect for the cultural differences of other countries, so that economic aid does not turn into a new form of colonialism, i.e. without imposing a specific model of government, economy, culture, etc. on other countries. In this way, international economic cooperation and humanitarian aid developed in this way can be an important element in the realisation of sustainable development goals in accordance with the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals for economic development on a global scale. The importance of the international and global scale of addressing the Sustainable Development Goals is increasing due to the growing scale and frequency of international or global economic, humanitarian, health, food, energy, climate and other crises caused by, inter alia, natural disasters, etc. In the years to come, the importance of the international scale of solving global problems with a view to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals will increase. The aforementioned increase in scale will be the result of an increasing number of different crises being realised on a global scale. These crises increasingly include the negative effects of weather anomalies and climatic disasters resulting from the progressive process of global warming. The process of global warming caused mainly by the fossil fuel-based energy industry still in place in some countries, motorisation powered by combustion engines, unsustainable production agriculture of livestock, unsustainable high-carbon construction, the use of outdated technologies for the transmission of electricity generated from combustion energy, etc., is a major problem. And this is just one of many problems that will grow in importance globally. The development of international cooperation and coordination of global environmental and climate policies, including the smooth implementation of the green transition of the economy, is therefore essential. Here, too, the rich highly developed countries should assist the economically weaker countries, inter alia, through the transfer of modern technologies. This issue relates, for example, to economic, medical, technological etc. assistance to poor countries in Africa. International economic aid from developed countries to developing countries on the African continent should therefore be developed, so that development is more balanced on a global scale and the disproportions between the level of economic development, the level of investment in technology, the level of income of citizens, in terms of living conditions, are reduced. In addition, international economic aid from developed countries to developing countries on the African continent should be developed in such a way as to simultaneously increase the scale of international cooperation, increase the scale of international coordination in solving global problems, e.g. those resulting from the progressive process of global warming, and with a view to achieving sustainable development goals. In this way, global development will be more sustainable, equitable, pro-environmental, pro-climate, etc. In this way, the solution of the global problems of the development of civilisation will be implemented to a greater extent in a more internationally coordinated manner and will be carried out more efficiently. Thanks to international cooperation developed in this way, globalisation processes will also be carried out mainly in positive aspects, taking into account the needs of citizens living in different countries. Attempts to use new forms of colonialism and activities involving the seizure of other countries' resources, theft of land and raw materials contained in the earth's crust, expanding the political sphere of influence, imposing a specific political system on other countries, and destroying a different culture are reprehensible, immoral, atavistic and primitive. The globalization of the 21st century should mainly concern the development of international cooperation, taking into account respect for cultural differences, other customs, a different system of belief, etc. tolerance for all differences. This is one of the key elements of respecting cultural, social, civilizational, and moral diversity, etc. In connection with the progressing global warming process and the need to counteract this process, the importance of developing international cooperation, including economic, humanitarian, medical, food, technological, etc. highly developed countries rich for economically underdeveloped countries will grow. This is related to the projected growing negative effect of the progressing global warming process, including, among others, intensifying and more frequent, more and more severe periods of drought, forest fires, arid soils, lack of fresh water, etc. A particularly high scale of occurrence of the above-mentioned negative effects of the progressing global warming process may, according to long-term forecasting models, appear in the future in tropical and subtropics, and thus also many countries in Africa. This is another argument for the development of the aforementioned international cooperation and multifaceted assistance for underdeveloped countries in Africa. In the future, globalization processes should be based mainly on the development of international economic cooperation, joint solving of global climate, environmental, economic and social problems, etc. development of global climate and environmental policy with respect for cultural differences, tolerance for other customs, value systems, cultural and civilizational diversity, etc.

The key problems of the development of civilisation and life on planet Earth include the issue of the increasingly rapid process of global warming, loss of biodiversity, decrease in the area of forests, increase in the level of environmental pollution, etc. In addition, the key problems of the development of civilisation, economic and social problems include uneven economic development in various regions and countries of the world, high levels of poverty and hunger in countries with a low level of economic development, permanent droughts, lack of drinking water and other negative effects of the progressing process of global warming, armed conflicts, intolerance for ethnic minorities, other social groups, other cultures and non-respect for human rights, etc. Economically underdeveloped countries tend to have much less developed systems of public road communication infrastructure, certain public services and social benefits, services of public health institutions, public education, etc. than the standards of most countries. It is therefore necessary to develop international cooperation in order to implement the principles and goals of sustainable development, including economic development and on many other levels, i.e. in the sphere of ecology, environmental protection, climate protection, food aid, medical aid, etc.

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

In recent years, various forms of financing pro-environmental business ventures within the framework of green finance have been growing in importance.

Within the framework of green financing of pro-environmental and pro-climate economic ventures, e.g. in the development of renewable and emission-free energy sources, improvement of energy transmission and storage systems, development of sustainable organic agriculture, improvement of waste sorting and recycling systems, construction of wastewater treatment plants and recovery of clean water, development of electromobility, zero-energy construction, etc. Commercial banks offer green loans, internationally operating investment banks and investment funds provide financing combined with equity participation in green investment, enterprises and companies provide green loans to their subsidiaries, the state offers green subsidies offered by government agencies as part of programs to activate the green transformation of the economy. At the UN Climate Summit COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, which began on 6.11.2022, discussions are expected to focus on financial needs and commitments, financing pro-climate and pro-environmental business ventures within the framework of green finance, and shaping the tools needed to respond to the damage that climate change is causing. At the aforementioned COP27 Climate Summit in Egypt, delegates from nearly 200 countries are holding lectures and discussions on the issue of financial compensation to poor countries for the growing damage from global warming. This is a new topic on the agenda, appearing at the UN Climate Summit COP27 for the first time in a decade, i.e., since the start of such conferences and climate talks. At last year's UN Climate Summit COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland, one of the new topics and agreements was a commitment to end forest deforestation by the end of the current decade, i.e., by 2030. However, in connection with the new agenda topic that emerged at UN Climate Summit COP27, viz. the issue of financial compensation to poor countries for the growing damage of global warming is an important issue that needs to be elaborated is the identification of key sources of financing, types of external financing within the framework of green finance, clarification of the objectives of financial support, i.e. the key types of negative effects of the progressive global warming process in countries characterized by low levels of economic development, low incomes and the ability to implement pro-climate and pro-environmental economic projects on their own. First of all, most of the poor countries, characterized by low income and low level of economic development are located in the tropical and subtropical climate zones and therefore in zones particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of climate change. In these countries, the problem of droughts is intensifying, and they are becoming more severe and prolonged every year. Droughts, declining rainfall, declining supplies of clean water are serious problems for agriculture, causing a decline in the production of agricultural crops and a growing problem of food shortages. In a large part of the mentioned poor countries, large-scale predatory logging has been implemented in recent years, the scale of deforestation has significantly increased, including natural biodiverse forest ecosystems, various forest formations, including, among others, the largest natural complex of forest ecosystems, known as the lungs of the planet, i.e. the rainforests of the Amazon. In this regard, it is a necessary issue to increase the scale of international cooperation and assistance regarding the transfer of green technologies, capital to enable the pro-environmental and pro-climate transformation of the economy, the realization of sustainable development goals, the implementation of investments enabling the development of renewable and emission-free energy sources, etc. Rich countries (mainly of the north, temperate climate zone), characterized by a high level of economic development, high incomes, high levels of productivity and equipment of production processes with modern technologies should help poor countries (of the south and the tropical, subtropical climate zone) to a greater extent, to reduce the scale of disparities, differentiation in the issue of sustainable development, activities and investments implemented to carry out pro-climate transformation of the economy and reduce the scale of the negative impact on the economy, agriculture and people of the progressive process of global warming and reduce the scale of the operation of the negative effects of this process. This is a key issue of international cooperation for the implementation of the concept of sustainable economic development, taking into account environmental, climate and energy policies on an international scale. The problem of global warming is a global problem and should be solved on a global scale through the development of international cooperation. This is part of the developing pro-climate and pro-environmental globalization.

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

What do you think about this topic?

What is your opinion on this issue?

Please answer,

I invite everyone to join the discussion,

Thank you very much,

Best regards,

The Sources of International Relations have always played a funfamental role in the resolution of crisis. The Treaties, seen as the main sources of International Relations since then, had been used to resolve crises through Diplomatic ways.This time, several schemes which have nothing to do with problem solving in International Relations has been used. My question addresses precisely this new paradigm. So, what will be taught in the future and what will be the role of Diplomacy in the international context?

I have to write my bachelor's thesis on international relations and I'd like to dissert on children's legislation, with a comparison between east Asia (Japan or South Korea) and Europe. Does anybody know about some cases that may have entailed both?

How do you think COVID-19 countermeasures taken by states and governments comply with the human rights guarantees established by national Constatutions and the International Human Rights Treaties? Among those measures are :

-mandatory vaccination

-lockdown

-mandatory usage of masks

Currently, the UN climate summit in Katowice is taking place in Katowice. COP (Conference of the Parties) on climate policy on Earth. UN climate summits, i.e. COP (Conference of the Parties) are global conferences during which climate policy actions are negotiated. Poland twice hosted them - in 2008 in Poznań and in 2013 in Warsaw. In December 2018, the climate summit is held for the first time now in Katowice in Poland.

During this summit, conferences are held, discussions are held on the need to develop a sustainable development policy and the need for development of ecological, renewable energy sources in order to generate a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the future and ultimately reduce the average annual temperature rise on the Earth's surface. From the discussions it follows that it is necessary to develop eco-innovations, new pro-ecological energy sources, development of electromobility of transport means. It is necessary to develop and implement on a large scale renewable energy sources. In addition, it is important to increase the scale of afforestation, as forests and the flora contained in them absorb a large proportion of greenhouse gas emissions.

As part of this year's UN Climate Summit, the 24th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP24), 14th Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP 14) and the Conference of the Paris Agreement signatories (CMA 1) are held. About 20,000 people from 190 countries participate in the event, including politicians, representatives of non-governmental organizations, and scientific and business spheres.

Perhaps during this UN climate summit important and specific agreements, declarations and signed agreements on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions will be taken. The present lectures show that in recent years the warming process of the Earth's climate has accelerated significantly and therefore, in the black scenario of future climate changes, the temperature on the Earth's surface can rise by 4 ° C to the end of the 21st century. If this happened, then the scale of climate-related cataclysms that are dangerous to humans, including droughts, floods, fires and weather anomalies in many places around the world, will increase many times. The problem is very serious globally and therefore a lot depends on whether international cooperation will develop in order to limit these problems and their negative effects.

In view of the above, I would like to ask you: Should you think that international cooperation should increase to reduce greenhouse gas emissions on Earth? In addition, another key question arises: how much of this international cooperation is possible, to what extent will real and effective measures be undertaken on the basis of the discussions and declarations undertaken to reduce greenhouse gases?

Please reply. I invite you to the discussion

What are the roles of political and economic institutions while studying the affect of human development on economic growth?

Iraq is great country since old civilization and culture,and if we go to the old civilization . q is the name of the state that currently partially encompasses the territory of the civilization of ancient Mesopotamia. This civilization came into being between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. These rivers flow into the Persian Gulf, through the State of Iraq. The Hashemite Kingdom of Iraq, also known as Mandatory Iraq in its early phase, was established by the Anglo-Iraqi treaty of 1922 resulting from the 1920 Iraqi revolt against British rule. It is centered in Lower Mesopotamia (corresponding to historical Babylonia, later also known as ʿIrāq-i ʿArab) but also includes part of Upper Mesopotamia and of the Syrian Desert and the Arabian Desert. The history of this area has witnessed some of the world's earliest writing, literature, sciences, mathematics, laws and philosophies; hence its common epithet, the Cradle of Civilization. so why Iraq is the old country of civilization?

Dear colleagues; i'm doing a research for a project, and faced the hypothetical question of

"If Escherichia coli (E.coli) just arrived to Earth for the first time; how long would it take for a single E. coli bacterium, through repeated divisions, to occupy the entire atmosphere of the planet".

As I did the quick math (steps below); I was faced by the surprising result: about 2 days to 7 months!

- Step one: The average time-duration for a single e. coli bacterium to divide (into two) in the lab (doubling time) is 20 minutes; given the "ideal" lab conditions. * but about 15 h in the wild.

- Step Two: Defining the "limits" of earth atmosphere: As to address "where space starts"; we are considering the limit at the The Kármán line, an altitude of 100 km (62 mi) above sea level, which is conventionally used as the start of outer space in space treaties and for aerospace records keeping.

- Step three: Calculating the volume of earth atmosphere (cubic kilometers):

Taking the Earth's radius at the equator: the average about 6,371 (6,357 to 6,378) kilometres; and using the equation to calculate the volume of sphere [v = 4/3 X π X r³] , I subtracted the volume of the "Earth (r = 6371)" from "Earth&Atmosphere (r= 6471)"; the result is: 5 X10¹¹km³

- Step 4: convert the Atmosphere volume from cubic kilometers to cubic Micrometers (10²⁷):

5 X10³⁸ µm³

- Step 5: Calculating the "divisions" needed to occupy the atmosphere volume:

With the average volume/ size of a single E. coli bacterium is ≈1µm³; the binary logarithm of

5 X10³⁸ is 128.56; I'll round it up to 130 divisions. this means:

-> 43.33 hours (if doubling time is is 20 minutes; given the "ideal" lab conditions.)

-> 208 days (if doubling time is 15 hours in the "wild")

* Beth Gibson et al stated that: "For example, E. coli can double every 20 min in the laboratory but we estimate that it only doubles every 15 h in the wild."

I am currently writing about the role of national culture (differences in values (especially risk aversion) and attitudes in general) for international supply chains. Does anyone know of an example of a global company that experienced supply chain problems due to the national culture of the host country?

Thank you very much!

Meaning-The Obama administration executive order to enter into the Paris Accord Treaty. The Trump administration executive order - removed the US from the Paris Accord Treaty. Now the Biden administration executive order has entered into the treaty again. This is only one example of many.

Question - are there any studies to eliminate executive powers surrounding environmental issues?

According to the EC plan, the Health Union should be constructed through regulations: by choosing from the start this path, instead of pushing for a change in the EU treaties, isn't hampering down it future capabilities?

Antarctica is administrated by parties (about thirty-eight countries) to sign the Antarctic Treaty System during the 20th century. The treaty disallows military activities and mineral mining, forbids nuclear explosions and nuclear waste disposal, supports scientific research, and protects the continent’s ecology.

Covid-19 is overwhelming some countries in terms of infections and casualties. It is an unfortunate situation that shows no end. In some countries the problem is compounded due to incompetent of the governments in managing the crises and by politicizing the pandemic for personal gain.

Many businesses could not survive the prolonged partial or full shut down and closed down. Some other business however performed very well. Is the cause of success, the ability and willingness to change and adopt to new challenges, or other parameters involved?

Water has become an issue between Mexicans and the USA. Due the a 1944 treaty between the USA and Mexico immense amounts of water are directed north from Chihuahua even though the area is suffering drought. Farmers in Chihuahua have taken to the streets, protesting the effects on failing crops. Is this the future?

Sometimes, it is not required chemical or nuclear weapons for mass destruction, and unsafe storage of chemicals such as Ammonium nitrate is good enough for the mass destruction. Massive damages at the Ports of Texas in 1947 and Beirut in 2020 are bitter examples of unsafe handling of chemicals such as ammonium nitrate.

Therefore, unsafe storage and handling of such chemicals within the boundaries of international ports should be regulated.

Since this is an international concern, I would like to discuss this matter with relevant experts.

Covid-19 provided the added fuel needed by the fire of nationalism/regionalism to gain further strength. Many countries believe that they have to protect the national interest by relying on local resources and expertise. This is leading to a race for the development of a vaccine by many countries. Is this helpful in the long run? Can we find the cure/vaccine faster or we are wasting time and resources.

USA and Russia announced that their withdrawal from Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. what are the possible short-term and long-term impacts on the world peace ？

I am conducting a study of South Africa-Nigeria relations from an Afrocentric perspective.

We have an ongoing cross-border collaboration project.

I am interested in the problems you encountered during COVID in cross-border cooperation:

1. The project has been closed 2. The project was suspended until the end of the pandemic 3. The project continued

Thank you

Many efforts are spent to prevent, treat and stop COVID-19 spread.

but I think these efforts are fragmentary and not organized.

there is no platform for a scientific collaboration that could shorten the time of interesting findings, some nations hide some facts are a privilege of authorship or for other political reasons.

I think that all countries should a global platform for scientific collaboration.

Personally I have some ideas that could be proposed for the treatment of COVID-19 based on scientific facts but with the innovative mode of application, how and where can I try to apply them?

All nations should avoid wasting their time to find a solution for COVID-19 without international collaboration.

In the past, globalization processes were determined by various factors. In my opinion, the processes of information, cultural, technological, financial, economic, political globalization are currently dominating.

In view of the above, I am asking you:

In what direction do you think globalization processes should follow in the future?

Please, answer, comments.

I invite you to the discussion.

Have noticed that several events are being linked to climate changes including global warming but scientifically they are not.

Do have precise knowledge about the events which can be connected to and NOT connected to climate change, including global warming. Would appreciate if any one differentiate it by listing the names.

Also, do you think that we have adequate findings to support or dispel the events which are connected and NOT connected to climate change? How important is to differentiate it?

Local governments are receiving a strong demand from the UN to implement SDG, but still they have few and unsufficient resources to fulfill that agenda. Could paradiplomacy help to do that?

Hello everyone.

Please is anyone able to advise on any contemporary international law topic/issue/question that is gaining global attention.

Also, is there any international legal issue/topic you know about that has so far defied existing norms of international law/Treaty law.

Looking forward to your responses. Many thanks.

This research seeks to know all the terms of international treaties and conventions that protect indigenous rights.

What do you think about the role of international financial institutions in the process of reducing development disparities between countries and in the issue of supporting sustainable development?

What is your opinion on the assessment of the activities of international financial institutions in reducing development differences between countries, reducing income disparities, supporting poorer and developing countries?

Do international financial institutions adequately support investment projects developed according to the concept of sustainable pro-ecological development?

Please reply

The human race has achieved distinction in fields of culture, traditions, beliefs and inventions, but has grossly failed to secure their future or even plan for it by ignoring the signs nature has been throwing at them. We know how to build, use electricity, run huge machines and even go to space, but we fail to instill small measures like turning off lights when not in use or even throwing paper in the bins.

To tackle the impending disaster that might have hit the world, the UK Government signed the Kyoto Treaty in 1997, which came into force in February 2005. Under this agreement, 164 countries have committed to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The Paris Agreement of December 2015 is meant to signal the beginning of the end of more than 100 years of fossil fuels serving as the primary engine of economic growth and shows that governments from around the world take climate change seriously. The inclusion of both developed and developing countries, including those that rely on revenue from oil and gas production, demonstrates a unity never seen before on this issue.

I give below my sketchy notes for my contribution to the discussion. I feel that they may form a useful start point for a discussion in the RG forum.

NOTES

CONTRAST this pleasant environment with cooperative people enjoying afternoon tea -- some staff working, true, but they are moderately fairly compensated -- with the horrific destruction and killing of 70,000 in Hiroshima in 1945.

I look to human basics: greed, pride, ambition, family loyalty, aggression, and other fundamentals.

A KEY FACTOR – massive development of technology! Consider the origins of nuclear weapons – Einstein, WW2 and Manhattan Project

Well --- computer modelling of the human global social system, what it is, its feasibility (or otherwise) in this context and the problem of how to control the seemingly massively complex global human system – which, alas, we are part of, including our decision making!

For an upcoming roundtable at ISA Baltimore, I’d be happy to hear any predictions and ideas you might have about the future relationship between Canada and the United States under a Trump Administration.

Relatedly, how does this affect the relationship between Europe and Canada - will it lead to more or less cooperation in economic, security and other policy areas?

I am work with team from National Research Centre, cell biology Dep. and Animal Production Dep. I interest at poultry breeding and genetics "

The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research of the Arab Republic of Egypt and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the French Republic have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for launching a bilateral program for scientific cooperation, named IMHOTEP, with the aim of facilitating, strengthening and developing scientific cooperation between the Egyptian and French researchers working at universities, research centers or institutes in both countries. The program covers bilateral research projects and scientific symposia involving researchers of the two countries in every scientific field.

The Academy of Scientific Research and Technology (ASRT) will be in charge of the administrative part of the program from the Egyptian side, while Campus France will be in charge of the administrative part from the French side. An Egypt-France Joint Board is established to review, assess and make specific recommendations concerning scientific and technological cooperative activities.

The Egyptian-French scientific program is based on a call for proposals jointly defined and simultaneously presented to Egyptian and French administrators. Egyptian researchers should submit their proposals to ASRT, while French researchers should electronically submit their proposals to Campus France. ASRT and Campus France will be responsible for sending the proposals for evaluation and consequently develop a priority list of approved proposals. This list will be submitted to the Joint Board for final selection.

Duration The maximum duration of a research project will not exceed two years. Annual progress report must be submitted jointly by the Egyptian and French researchers before the 30th of August; based upon the evaluation of this report, the joint board will determine the continuation of funding the project. Also a financial report must be submitted by the Egyptian researchers. At the end of the project, a final joint report must be submitted by the Egyptian and French researchers to their respective administration unit.

📷The research project is partially funded by the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology (a maximum of L.E. 200,000 per project for 2 years) where the grant offered by the Academy to the Egyptian side covers the expenses of travel for the Egyptian participants and the accommodations (including transportation in Egypt) for the French participants during their visits to Egypt. Meanwhile, the expenses of executing the research are provided by the cooperating Egyptian Institute (or any other sponsor that must be specified).

On the other hand, Campus France would cover the expenses of the travel (airfare) for the French partners as well as the accommodation expenses for the Egyptian partners during their visits to France. Duration of visits must not exceed 45 days.

Who can apply Egyptian and French researchers working at governmental or private universities, research centers or institutes in both countries are eligible to jointly apply ( junior researchers in particularly those who have acquired their Ph.D. within the last five years or may be enrolled in the Ph.D. program.) Researchers who have already implemented a project within Imhotep program are not entitled to submit a new proposal before passing two years after the end of the first project.

I would like to know best websites for regulatory affairs articles and journals for increasing my regulatory affairs knowledge.

Can anyone help me to find upcoming political science conferences?

many researcher ask this question, the International collaboration is becoming the norm in scientific and technical research but issues such as different time zones, research practices, and cultural expectations can still be problematic.  What tips or warnings would you share with others who are embarking on an international collaboration?

Is it possible for a researcher from another country also working on lactic acid bacteria to be a collaborator in this project, and if possible, how?

Will a non-native researcher interested in collaborating in this interesting project of national importance able to do so, from his/her home country or need to travel to your country?

Thank you.

In Ukraine there is no special provision in Budget Code or other legislation concerning budgetary funding for protection and maintaining the sites of UNESCO World Heritage. So, I am interested how this issue regulated in other countries, who is the main contributor of financial resources necessary for the proper protection of the sites and what is the role of the government (state or local one). Thank you in advance!
