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engines, unsustainable production agriculture of livestock, unsustainable high-carbon construction, the use of outdated technologies for the transmission of electricity generated from combustion energy, etc., is a major problem.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.

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

What do you think about it?

What is your opinion on this subject?

Please respond,

I invite you all to discuss,

Thank you very much,

Warm regards,

Understand the perceptual error as a deformation of reality. When something is perceived wrongly (deformation) or when something is not there (omission). Problem solving is the use of methods, in an orderly fashion, to find solutions to specific problems.

Mathematics abstracted and idealized concrete mathematics, exemplified in Euclid’s The Elements. Religion around the same time or earlier, abstracted the concrete representation of deities. Are there similarities in the problem solving approaches?

So many problem solving techniques begin with asking a question.

But could our questions direct us with a bias , against observing truth, but misleading us into believing that our question is fundamentally important?

From Hamlet: “What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god: the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals!”

From Herder’s On the Origin of Language (Abhandlung über den Ursprung der Sprache): “... we perceive to the right and to the left why no animal can invent language, why no God need invent language, and why man, as man, can and must invent language."

When Shakespeare and Herder use the word “man”, do they mean every individual human being or all of humanity acting collectively are noble in reason (per Hamlet) or create language (per Herder)? Do they use the word “man” as representative of humanity, or to they mean that every individual human being warrants admiration?

In the current COVID-19 crisis more than 380 thousand people died so far. Economy and mental health suffered tremendously. If there was an easy solution proposed in the very early stages of the crisis based on scientific findings by any scientist what would be the right course of action for other scientists and people in power of position?

1) Ignore that important solution and wait for the actual peer-review process to be completed. 2) Take initiatives individually and collectively on an emergency basis to explore the potential research and solution further. As saving lives are of absolute priority, a single day should not be wasted. 3) Resist that research and solution, as it is non-mainstream area and stop by any means even to send that research for the peer-reviewing process.

Which one do you agree with the most and which one the least? To improve, what action needs to be taken in either case?

I oversee the problem solving teams for the Howard County Public Schools in Maryland. I would love more information to see if your work may contribute to our process. Thanks so much!

Hi everyone,

What do you think are the most important problems in computer science and computer engineering which if it will be solved would make a huge impact on technology?

what is it in your mind?

don't think that your idea might be stupid or not practical, just leave the message here, may be it help scientists and researchers to solve worlds problems and make our world a better place for everyone to live.

Best regards,

I am looking for validated/standardized group problem solving tasks for evaluating team collaboration performance in controlled laboratory settings. My goal is to identify tasks that can solved in teams to compare teams performing under different manipulation conditions. Any hint is welcome! 

(please add reference to existing studies or reviews, if any)

Currently I am searching for some reliable and valid tools for assessing preschoolers' problem solving abilities. The specific problem solving skills I intend to assess include problem representation, planning, execution, and evaluation (based on Zelazo et al. (1997)'s framework of problem solving).

Although Zelazo et al. (1997) reviewed a set of related tools, these tools were mainly used for assessing executive functioning in the literature, rather than the problem solving skills specifically. My question is: Are there any existing validated measures assessing the problem solving skills (i.e., problem representation, planning, execution, and evaluation) among preschoolers? Thanks!

Are the simulation results giving a good impact on real-time problem-solving?

We introduce the concept of Proton-Seconds and see it lends itself to a method of solving problems across a large range of disciplines in the Natural Sciences. The underpinnings seem to be in 6-fold symmetry. This lends itself to a Universal Form. We find this presents the Periodic Table of the Elements as a squaring of the circle. It is rather abstract thinking, but just as the moment we define truth and as a result it reverses, I think we can treat problem solving this way: As Patterns…The idea is there is nothing we can say is the truth, but we can solve problems through pattern recognition. I would think this manner of problem solving through pattern recognition could be employed in developing deep learning machine intelligence and AI for its method of imitating human learning to gain knowledge.

Research is meant to make the world a better place. There is so much research being done globally in every field, yet there are so many problems in the world affecting mankind e.g poverty, sickness, crime, war, financial, social issues etc. Why is this? Where is all the research going?

Your thoughts are welcome.

Where can I find good examples of teaching vignettes that I can use in interviews with teacher educators (professors who teach in the faculties of education)? I am specifically looking for teaching vignettes that illustrate scenarios of how the design of learning activities can foster the development of computational thinking in preservice teachers.

Dear Colleagues from Research Gate:

Probably most of you know an author in systems thinking and management who´s name is "Russell L. Ackoff", he wrote many books about systems thinking and operational research. The last ones of them had many examples of how burocracies and somehow organizations helped create problems that had to be solved afterwards. Just to name one: "The Art of Problem Solving: Accompanied by Ackoff's Fables".

Unfortunately, many of this excepcional readings are from the 80´s or 90´s. The question is: ¿does anyone know of similar readings but more modern (let´s say Y2K on?. And linked to this: what books about problem solving in management would you recommend me and why?

Thank you very much

in chapter 10 of "introduction to Agricultural Engineering Technology a problem solving approach" 3rd edition book, I've met this problem however it's calculated with a wrong parameters and calculation within the book itself, but I've tried to solve it with the right parameters according to what's mentioned in the book but with a non-realistic answer?!

I tried to simulate many solar panels by SCAPS-1D, I get some results but many devices can't simulated because of divergence error. I tried to solve the divergence error by change some properties of front and back contacts, and adding some defects and recombination to all layers. The problem solved sometimes but but I'm sure that's not the right solution.

- what's the root of this problem of divergence?

- I need a direct guiding from You, please

- Tell me what is the best software for simulate heterojunction Solar cells?

- give me links of least versions of SPAPS and Silvaco

I would like to examine young children's emotional expressions/ emotion-related behavior from video-recordings of an experimental problem-solving task. I'm looking for a simple way to code this (e.g., overall positive, negative or neutral affect?) since time and resources are lacking to use coding systems like The Facial Action Coding System. Can anyone recommend a coding system? Thank you very much!

Hello everyone. Building information modeling (#BIM) technology has a language based on written and #visual_data. But there is no clear way to use the theoretical studies and humanities findings in the field of art or #environmental_psychology to Change their Conversation into the language of this technology (base on the Data theory).Do you know any research and resources on how to take advantage of theoretical bases and transform them into #problem_solving #models that look similar to #algorithmic language and #parametric_architecture?

Hi, in my study, I am examining what are the effects of a professional development program on students' problem solving and to what extent the effects of the program on students' problem solving is mediated by teachers' interactional time and instructional practices. In my data, there are five types of instructional practices (frequent data) and I already tested that the program has a positive relationship with teachers' use of instructional practices.

In the mediation model, do I need to extract a latent factor? or I can use them separately as five mediators.

When I use them separately in the model, three of them have a negative influence on students' problem-solving. It makes sense in a theoretical stand. For instance, more frequent use of supportive strategies (one type of instructional practice) has the danger of over-scaffolding students, thus it reduces students' problem-solving scores.

Hello Mohammed

Many thanks for your notes. Can I suggest that learning becomes more meaningful, when it is applied to real questions.

The attached papers present a challenge that might interest you.

Do not lose focus trying to kill the flies, rather work hard to get rid of what's attracting the flies - is this the right problem-solving philosophy/mindset for successful research? How else can a research approach the fly-source problem?

Sometimes I have found an inconsistency gives a helpful clue of how to improve a theoretical investigation. Early on I viewed mistakes as hurdles. I still think they are hurdles but have many times found them to be helpful. My view is that it encourages persistence to know that mistakes are part of the process of figuring things out. Are there articles about the role of making mistakes in theoretical physics?

I'm trying to find a topic for my graduation thesis and I'm looking for experiences, materials and papers.

What I want to explore is effects of boardgaming on:

problem solving skill (adults and kids),

emotions management (mostly on kids and teens I suppose)

Cognitive Development in the Teen Years.

Have somebody direct experiences? Experimental data? Published studies or preprints?

hello,

i attached in the figure, the formula of the control law of the model free sliding mode control that i'll be using, when running my control algorithm in simulink, it gives me an algebraic loop error and this is very obvious cz 2 previous control input are demanded for the calculation of the current control input.. the question is, what do you suggest to solve such problem ? how the algorithm can know the values of the previous input at time t=0 ? should i define initial values or .. ?

Note: the picture is taken from "Raul Mittmann Reis" thesis.

As low scores on the problem-solving inventory ( PSI ) indicate high levels of PSC, AAS, PC ( the three factors of the inventory).

My questions are:

1-Do low scores mean low arithmetic means?

2-Does the lowest value of the mean for a certain item within the factor means that the student possesses this trait to a large degree? Is the opposite true? ...

For example; after statistical analysis of the students' responses on item 15, which states “When considering solutions to a problem, I do not take the time to assess the potential success of each alternative” has got the highest mean (mean = 4.25, SD = 1.32), does the statistical mean for this item indicates that students have the lowest level of perception related to this item? the least mean was item 18, which states “When making a decision, I compare alternatives and weigh the consequences of one against the other” (mean = 2.84, SD = 1.82), does the statistical mean for this item indicates that students have the highest level of perception related to this item?

3-Which of the items in the inventory are negative and should be reversed in the statistical analysis?

I also applied the inventory after the study and noticed that the means were decreased in the post applying.

When performing a t-test, it was found that there is a statistically significant difference in total degree of PSI where t = 12.21 in favor of pre-questionnaire, also all t values for the factors were statistically significant in favor of pre-questionnaire.

Is the interpretation of this result correct, and that the perception of their problem-solving level increased after applying the module?

Thank you very much for deducting your valuable time in informing me.

Hi everyone,

I work with the oospores (average diameter 27.7 µm) of a plant-pathogenic oomycete. In searching for antagonists of them, I incubate them with enzymes in solution or co-culture them with other microbes. I then assess viability changes using a combination of dyes - fluorescein diacetate and DITO-3 iodide.

My problem is that I always end up with a large amount of residual enzyme (and even buffer) or microbial residue in the tubes at the time of staining, which leads to many unexpected effects on the dyes (fluorescein diacetate in particular) and skewed results. I wash with sterile ultra-pure water and centrifugation twice before staining. I have tried adding more washes but it did not help and significantly increased the duration of the assay as well as increasing oospore loss (need to maintain oospore numbers for counting later on).

I have been thinking about filtration set-ups that might allow me to catch anything above, say, 15 µm and let through everything else. But I work with 24+ 1.5 ml tubes for each experiment, so the apparatus would need to work with this in mind and all the micro-centrifuge filtration options I can see are the typical 0.22/0.45 µm pore size (and would be a wasteful and expensive option anyway). Another limiting factor is the need to easily resuspend the oospores that I catch, in good numbers, to be stained. And this is a medium-throughput assay with small volumes, which also limits options.

I have also thought about flow cytometry/FACS, but the machines I have access to for these are on the other side of campus and would add an hr+ to an already long pipeline, where all I want is to reduce signal noise from residual enzymes. This option may be of more use down the line, when microbe-microbe interactions are a bigger focus.

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of very specific scenario? Or any ideas for how to more effectively wash my oospores clean before staining?

I am new researcher. I want to learn more and I need your help. Thank you.

Hello,

I am a student and I have been trying to mesh this part but I am failing to mesh it with smaller elements because I get a warning that some of the marked elements are of poor quality (photo is attached). I have found out that if I make the curved outer straight the problem solves, but I am supposed to try to make this geometry work. So I am trying but failing. A finer Mesh doesn´t solve the problem. Sweep instead of structure does neither.

I use: nonlinear Geometry, Hex Elements structured (part is green), A Seed size of 1. It works with bigger seeds. And I use quadratic elements.

I think it is because of the complex geometry in that area but I am supposed to try to make this geometry work. So I am trying but failing. A finer Mesh doesn´t solve the problem. Sweep instead of structure does neither.

Honestly I don´t now how to solve this because of my lack of experience. I am just starting with Abaqus. My only idea is to partition this ares even further.

Is someone willing to help me? I would be very grateful!

What happens to numbers with highest power and it's implication on the numbers last digit. How applicable is that in mathematical problem solving

I'm running a Waters UPLC-TQD system. I've been experiencing challenges with repeatability of peak areas across analytes , columns and methods.

I'm currently trouble shooting the issue. I'm running repeat injections of a Caffeine standard. The concentration is 100 ppb, injection volume is 10 ul. Areas start off being repeatable, then drop and change . Minimum value = 5455, maximum = 14419, median 13081. Signal-to-noise ratio is also all over with a minimum = 40870, maximum = 585158 and median =161406.

I've checked that there aren't pressure drops / spikes on the UPLC, no leaks that I can detect (pressure test passed, but I can't test up to the pre-column heater as I don't have a blank to blank off at this point). I've repeatedly primed and purged the injector, the purge solvent is mobile phase.

On the MS side I've done a resolution tune (passed) and have calibrated.

Any comments / suggestions as to how I can improve repeatability? %RSD = 25

This question does not relate to philosophical romanticism applied to science that had some currency in the 1800s. Roughly it seems that scientific romanticism differed from enlightenment by inserting humanity into nature and seeking union via human consciousness and problem solving.

The romantic aspect of physics I allude to shares some features of the medieval tale relating to chivalry, such as Don Quixote and qualities of adventure into unknown parts remote from settled life, such as the adventures of Richard Burton, who translated the Arabian Nights.

The mystery is: how has nature contrived these things we observe?

The remoteness is that the answers may require extrapolation in size, microscopic or cosmological, or in length of time, short or long, or in eons past or yet to arrive, remote from human experience, or principles that defy and challenge human perception, such as universal gravitation, or the nature of time, curvature of space, or quantum particles.

The adventure involves all the steps to solve the problem.

It seems to me that theoretical physics is a romantic quest. If the physicist arrives at a partial or provisional understanding of some mystery, then that is a great romance.

Your view?

I have been considering the idea of history as a core component in secondary education. Is it necessary any longer? Children have access to the worlds knowledge at their fingertips, yet are overwhelmed with the content and with what to do with it. Does the learning of history doom it to be repeated; as opposed to the fable that those who do not learn it will repeat it? Would time be better spent on teaching skills, communication, and problem solving?

For the record, I read history every day. I teach other social sciences, and incorporate the past into everything we explore.

Speaking about the benefits and disadvantages of public transport many responded that the most annoying things about this service are waiting time (frequency), the accessibility of the transport (especially for people with disability) and the number of transfers. My question is: What could be the solution to all these problems? We don't want to use private cars since that would lead to a traffic problem (which we want to avoid). Have you heard of any "collective transport 2.0" that could improve the existing one?

I am a medical student though neither virology nor pulmonology are my expertise. As the global community gradually adopts isolation and social distancing the concern now rises regarding the availability of respirators.

As with any specialized equipment simply commandeering a factory and ordering it to manufacture respirators is not a reality: machines must be retooled, programming written, quality control perfected. It could easily take months before any functional respirators are produced under these circumstances.

While the needs would not be perfectly addressed, in the spirit of working with what is already on hand: would a CPAP machine be able to step in and provide O2 support for someone in mild-low/moderate respiratory distress?

CPAP would not suffice for someone requiring intubation but it may work to support a high risk/vulnerable patient in the early stages ensuring appropriate oxygenation and (possibly) shortening/bypassing the acute phase further exacerbated by low O2 saturation.

Consensus?

Nowadays, many researchers argue that systems can behave intelligently. Their argument is that eventually it is a necessity since, without intelligence, systems will be like a psychopath, which has problem solving capability but do not have rational purpose and associated responsibility. Others argue that, even if a system has intelligence, it will be very different from human intelligence since it will be not interwoven with feelings and emotions. Furthermore, behavior of the system may turn out to be emotionally, axiologically and etiologically deviant or even incorrect from an anthropomorphic perspective. Of course, feelings and values are important parts of human intelligent behavior. This entails the question: Let us assume that (i) intellect (intelligence), (ii) awareness (restricted consciousness), (iii) responsibility (attitudinal accountability) and (iii) reflective emotions (affections) are computationally reproduced (no matter whatever way). Will such a system show any observable indication of having a soul (i.e. the essential immaterial or spiritual part of a human being and existing as human)?

Hi, guys..

These days, I have some problem in OPV processing.

To be more specific, the active film is OK right after spin casting. But while drying it, the film is getting hazy..... it is changed to be worse.. like an attached picture....

Does anyone know why this problem is happening? or how to solve this probelm?

Please let me know what should I do to solve it....

The hypothesis I make here is that if you understand the philosophical background of your scientific field of study, it will help you in doing better research, in the problems you solve, the questions you ask at the problem solving, in the way you approach problem solving, the tools you use and the way you communicate your results. Maybe it also help to determine how you behave in life, also here on the platform.

The philosophy of science looks in a rational way at aspects such as existence (ontology, metaphysics), knowledge (epistemology), methods (logic and language), values (ethics) and the beauty and creation of their truth (aesthetics).

In general, science is divided in three branches: formal, natural and social- and they again are divided into sub-branches with everyone their own way of thinking, their philosophical approach. Therefore, you have e.g. the philosophy of economics, the philosophy of physics, of art, technology, history, mathematics, business administration, engineering and so on.

People in the same field of study can differ of opinion about the philosophy of their science. Understanding the philosophical approach of other scientists and researchers here on the platform can help improve the communication.

Dear colleagues, maybe you can help answering this question: What is the philosophy or your scientific field about and how do you practice that philosophy doing your science?

And my research aim is to investigate how individual factors in the workplace such as intrinsic motivation, proactive personality etc impact employee creativity mediated by unlearning (the process of abandon old, out-dated knowledge and skills to learn new ones. I just explained briefly).

And after data testing in SPSS, the data showed that unlearning can not work as a mediator. According to this situation, could anyone kindly give me some advice what should I do now to find out the problems and solve it? And will this research be unsuccessful and lesss worthwhile to study? Thank you all!

More detailed information:

I have 5 independent variables and two of them can work with mediator(unlearning) if I test independent variable individually, but if I put them together into a box together to test with mediator, mediator failed to mediate the realtionship between independent variale and depedent variable.

Thanks a lot.
