Authors: Sammi Heena , Mohanta Manish , Sharma Bhagwati , Sardana Neha
Published: July 2023

The coalescence of Au nanoparticles embedded in the silica gel matrix was observed by E-beam irradiation in a transmission electron microscope. It was examined that interparticle spacing between nanoparticles was reduced after incorporation into the matrix and particles came close to each other. TEM studies have shown that during E-beam irradiation ~13nm Au nanoparticles contacted with each other along with the shrinkage of the silica gel or as well as the removal of surfactant layer, and transformed into different shapes of particles such as dumbbell and chain-like particles as per the interparticle gap. This nanoparticle-gel matrix has the potential for applications in sensing, nonlinear optics, and catalysis. This work enhances the understanding of the role of silica gel and E-beam irradiation in directing the coalescence of nanoparticles.

Authors: Dontulwar Jeevan , G. Kondalkar Anuja
Published: July 2023

The pharmaceutical cocrystals have sparked a lot of attention because of their ability to improve a drug’s physicochemical flaws, like poor water solubility. The amino carboxylic derivative of benzene was used to synthesized the benzocaine-based compounds which shows numerous biological activities. Here the mechanochemical solvent assisted grinding method were used to obtain the benzocaine-based co-crystals which is not reported yet before. The synthesized benzocain co-crystals were further analyzed using P-XRD and FTIR spectroscopic techniques. The shifting of IR peak from its individual compounds are clearly confirm the formation of co-crystal. From P-XRD analysis it is confirms that the benzocain compound and coformer shows different phase compare to its co-crystal which give the confirmation of co-crystal formation. The formation of co-crystals was further supported by taking their melting point which is completely different than pure component and its co-former. The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) survey were used for structural analysis of reported benzocaine using mercury software. The crystal explorer software were used to calculate the percentage bond interactions in the reported benzocaine compound.

Numerous medicinal products are used in the traditional medical systems in India. An alternative medicine for the treatment of various diseases is getting more popular now a days. Many medicinal plants provide relief of symptoms comparable to that of obtained from allopathic medicines. Therefore, agents of natural origin with very little side effects are required as substitute chemicals therapeutics. The Ayurvedic preparations include Rheumartho and Rheumatil (200µg/ml, 300µg/ml, and 450µg/ml) was investigated for anti- inflammatory effects in in vitro method. Inhibition of albumin denaturation was adopted for the in-vitro anti-inflammatory activity. The ayurvedic drugs were effective in inhibiting the heat induced haemolysis at different concentrations. The results revealed that ayurvedic preparations (Rheumatil and Rheumartho) at concentration 200 µg/ml, 300µg/ml reduces the inflammation significantly (P<0.01) compared to the control. From this study, it was concluded that ayurvedic preparations (Rheumartho and Rheumatil) possess anti- inflammatory with lesser side effects and more beneficial effects.
Penetration crisis: the Ukrainian context
Authors:   Kuras Institute of Political and Ethnic Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Brekharya Svitlana
Published: July 2023

The article analyzes the manifestations of the crisis of penetration in Ukraine during the transformation of the political regime and modernization of the political system, contradictions and obstacles that arise during the exercise of powers and decisions by the authorities. Factors that can provoke the development and exacerbation of the crisis are analyzed, among which within the Ukrainian realities remain primarily the activities of financial and industrial groups, unclear division of competencies between councils and local state administrations, opposition to the „center-regions” vertical, lack of an effective judicial system. The author proposes during the analysis of the crisis to distinguish two levels – institutional – because the crisis of penetration primarily affects the institutional and political structure of power, mainly strikes the vertical relations of „center-regions”; and social – manifestation of the crisis is a decrease in the ability of public administration to implement its directives to the masses and get from them an adequate response. The author focuses on the phenomenon of impenetrability of power, its encapsulation, which can provoke outbreaks of protests - when citizens openly disagree with the government's course and demand that their goals and interests be recognized. According to the author, political and administrative penetration is necessary for a viable political system. If the government loses this quality, the power mechanism and the relations between its subjects need to be reformatted. Among the measures that can slow down or overcome the crisis of penetration into the realities relevant to Ukraine, the author indicates the effective reform of the state apparatus, judicial reform, public audit of government actions and the policy of de-oligarization.
Crisis of the eastern vector of foreign policy of Ukraine
Authors:   Kuras Institute of Political and Ethnic Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kondratenko Oleh
Published: July 2023

The discourse and the essence of the crisis of the eastern foreign policy vector of Ukraine are analysed in the article. It is proved that the issue of the Russian direction of Ukraine’s foreign policy has become relevant since its independence. A sharp surge in scientific and expert discourse occurred in 2014 and 2022, when, respectively, a hybrid war began and Russia’s open aggression against Ukraine. Based on the analysis of political science discourse, it was concluded that the primary crisis of the eastern vector of Ukraine’s foreign policy is primarily an objective factor in Russia’s aggressive imperial policy based on Eurasian revanchism – the desire to revive total influence in the post-Soviet space. It has been confirmed that the deployment of a Russian naval base in Sevastopol on Ukrainian territory, multiplied by the loss of nuclear status, and a sharp economic downturn have deprived Ukraine of prospects for adequate geopolitical status in a post-bipolar world order. After all, Ukraine has in fact agreed to deploy the Russian Black Sea Fleet on its sovereign territory. Such a position, according to scholars, contradicted the Concept of Foreign Policy of Ukraine of 1993, which stated the inadmissibility of the presence of armed forces of other states on its territory. All this led to the occupation of Crimea, Russia’s inspiration for the hybrid conflict in Donbass in 2014 and open armed aggression in 2022. Ukraine has made significant progress in its confrontation with revanchist Russia, against which large-scale sanctions have been imposed. Having received significant military and technical assistance from the West, Ukraine has thwarted Moscow’s strategic plans to strip it of its statehood and restore the Soviet Union to much of the post-Soviet space. In the course of the armed confrontation with Russia, Ukraine acquired geopolitical subjectivity and gained the prospect of joining the EU. It is also proved that Ukraine has significant prospects for obtaining a new Marshall Plan for the post-war reconstruction of the economy and infrastructure. At the same time, Ukraine must support the policy of technological transformation and not abandon the strategy of gaining full membership in NATO.
The phenomenon of unity in scientific and political discourses
Authors:   Kuras Institute of Political and Ethnic Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Bevz Tetyana
Published: July 2023

The article examines the etymology of the word „unity”, the genesis of the idea of unity in Ukrainian political thought and scientific discourse, proposes the theoretical and methodological foundations of the research, and analyzes the evolution of the idea of unity in the discourses of political parties and presidents of Ukraine. It is about the evolution of the idea of unity throughout the entire process of Ukrainian state formation. Historical realities were of great importance for the formation and affirmation of the idea of unity, namely, the fragmentation of lands, foreign rule, the loss of the religious oneness of the people, and national oppressions. The evolution of the idea of the unity from the princely era to the present, from the idea of a united Rus to the idea of a free Independent United Ukraine, is traced, based on the research of domestic and foreign authors. Attention is focused on the symbolism of unity, markers of unity, traditions of holding „living chains” of unity as the main symbol of the Day of Unity, which Ukrainians build, symbolizing the unification of Ukrainian lands and state unity and the nationwide celebration of Unity Day. The Day of the Unity of Ukraine is characterized by the actualization of three dimensions of political meaning – past, present and future. The idea of unity was determined, first of all, by the unity of values, ideals and interests of the citizens of Ukraine. In the political discourse, emphasis was placed on the fact that the unity is a symbol of the unification of the country, as well as a reference point for the future as a territorial and spiritual unity of the people. In the addresses and speeches of the Presidents of Ukraine, the evolution from the idea of unity to the idea of oneness was traced. Presidents of Ukraine appealed to the lessons of the past and historical figures of Ukraine; they emphasized that the unity is an indivisible whole of all Ukrainian lands; noted that unity is not only about the territory, but also about oneness, cohesion, community. Preserving the territorial integrity of Ukraine, strengthening the unity of its regions, the diversity and distinction of which have developed as a result of objective historical circumstances, will continue to be a relevant, but also an urgent task of today.
Theoretical foundations and practical tasks of optimizing the political system of modern Ukrainian society
Authors:   Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University, Ivanov Mykola
Published: July 2023

The article deals with the need to further improvement of the functioning of the political system of modern Ukrainian society. The relevance of this task is determined by the severity of manifestations of opposition from higher authorities. Today, there is a rather complex and contradictory system of relations between the institution of the head of state and the supreme bodies of all branches of power in Ukraine. The most acute contradictions have developed in the executive branch, which are manifested primarily in the relations between the Office of the President of Ukraine and the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. The author substantiates the objectively existing need to develop new theoretical foundations and define practical tasks for modernizing the political system of modern Ukrainian society. At the same time, the author prioritizes measures to harmonize the foundations of a particular form of government with the most effective practices of organization. The author emphasizes that there are a number of contradictions inherent in the regulatory framework, which significantly complicate the organization of interaction between the supreme bodies of all branches of government. It is emphasized that the process of further development of the political system of Ukrainian society requires a thorough restructuring of the regulatory framework for the organization and functioning of the leading political institutions of modern Ukrainian society. First of all, improvement of the regulatory framework for interaction between the branches of power in Ukraine should be aimed at overcoming the manifestations of power dualism enshrined in the powers of all supreme bodies of state power. The author substantiates the tasks of regulatory support for the main directions of optimization of the political system of Ukrainian society through a more complete implementation of one of the classical forms of government.

Interpretation of the archipelago is a manifestation of the assessment of the Qur'an by Nusantara scholars. The emergence of tafsir al-Qur'an in the archipelago cannot be separated from the process of evaluating and writing it down as part of the Ulama' efforts to understand and spread Islamic teachings. In this context, locality also colors various nuances of interpretation of the Qur'an, both in terms of interpreting the Qur'an in prayer rooms, mosques and Islamic boarding schools or in writing interpretations using local symbols in shapes such as pegon or Latin. In another aspect, the contribution of the influence of Middle Eastern Ulama influenced many Indonesian Ulama who made a genealogy of thoughts that shaped different tendencies in each season. The locality of Nusantara tafsir has different tendencies in each period. The dynamics of methods and approaches seem to encounter an anti-climax in the contemporary period with social-community nuances.  The pattern of social relations between religious communities becomes the centrality in the thematic discussion of the verses of kafir, ahl al-kitab and non-Muslims which at first glance is a concept of the pattern of relations between Muslims and non-Muslims in theological and social aspects

Authors: JAIN POORVI
Published: July 2023

Introduction : The most important factor for the patients coming to the dentist for the rehabilitation with the prosthesis is the way they look and the way their smile is perceived. The basic requirement of any patient is the desire of ‘life-like’ appearance of the prosthesis. One of most significant challenges was to discover how often all the concepts of teeth selection can be practically applied in daily practice and to evaluate their application among dental practitioners. Materials and Methods : A questionnaire was circulated on the Google platform as a form of survey to determine the application of various concepts of teeth selection among dental practitioners. It was statistically evaluated on the basis of majority of answers given. Corelation between the knowledge, attitude and experience- based questions was determined. Results : A statistically significant corelation was found between the knowledge-based, attitude-based and experience-based questions. There was a linear corelation seen as graphical representation. The way knowledge, attitude and experience of the dental practitioners affects the treatment was also determined and corelated. Conclusion : Esthetic rehabilitation is a wholesome process. All the factors should be given equal importance at every step from selection of the teeth to the teeth arrangement and the final results. Knowledge of all the concepts of teeth selection is important to add to the experience and attitude of the dentist. A combination of all the three values of the dental practitioner is the need of the hour to provide the superior esthetics to the patient.

Authors: KAUR JAPNEET
Published: July 2023

Midline diastema can be defined as a space between the maxillary central incisors. In growing patients midline diastema can be seen as a physiological condition that is self-correct after the eruption of all permanent teeth. This phenomenon of self-correct condition was explained by Broadbent. But not all diastemas are self-correcting. For some patients, the diastema does not close at all. There are various reasons for the occurrence of upper arch midline diastema that must be considered, with the help of intraoral evaluation, including soft tissue/ mucosal diseases, tooth size discrepancies, teeth angulation among others. The case presented described presence of midline diastema due to high frenal attachment in a female aged 17 years. A multidisciplinary approach was taken for this case involving orthodontic and periodontal treatments. Periodontology involvement was for frenectomy.

Patients’ benefits and risks/burdens were used to produce Strong, Moderate, or Conditional Recommendations When there was inadequate evidence, additional guidance was given Clinical Principles and Expert Opinion are two types of evidence that can be found in the literature. Systems and Important clinical Finding : urination difficulties, straining, or pain, inadequate bladder emptying, pee stream sprayed, need to urinate more frequently or have a stronger urge to urinate. The main diagnose and therapeutic intervention and outcome : The doctor discovered urethral stricture after a physical examination and investigation. After urethral stricture treatment, many patients have a positive outcome. If the stricture is caused by scar tissue, you may need more treatments in the future. Due to a total blockage of the urethra, you are unable to urinate is known as urinary retention.can occur in some circumstances due to stricture. This is a potentially life-threatening situation. If you have signs of a stricture and are unable to urinate, call your doctor straight once. Conclusion : Urethral strictures must be identified and treated early on in order to avoid the most serious long-term consequence, reduced renal function. The high recurrence rate of urethrotomy limits its clinical value. A urethral stricture is a scarring constriction that hinders the lower urinary tract from working correctly. The effects of this obstruction can significantly reduce By causing micturition issues, They can lower a patient’s quality of life and potentially cause renal failure by affecting the entire urine system. As a result, it is critical urethral strictures, which can develop at any age and in any gender, either men or women (though they are far more common in women), are diagnosed and treated as soon as possible

Sicca symptoms, such as xerostomia and xerophthalmia, are prevalent in geriatric patients and are correlated toexhaustion and low quality of life. Sjögren’s syndrome (SS), an autoimmune disorder characterized by lymphocyticinfiltration of the exocrine glands, also exhibits xerostomia and xerophthalmia as a main feature. In clinical practice,tools exist to assess disease activity and severity of the symptoms of Sjögren’s: the EULAR Sjögren’s SyndromeDisease Activity Index (ESSDAI) and the EULAR Sjögren’s Syndrome Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI), respectively.Our objective is to assess the disease activity and complaints in a cohort of Sicca syndrome patients, with anemphasis on senior individuals in particular. A cross-sectional investigation of 45 adult patients with a clinicaldiagnosis of Sicca syndrome was conducted, comparing geriatric (>65 years old;n= 23) vs. non-geriatric (n= 22)subgroups with respect to demographic and clinical data, classification criteria fulfillment, disease activity, andsymptom burden. Between the two age groups, no statistically significant differences were found regarding diseaseduration, immunological and histological features, or disease activity, with overall low ESSDAI values. Symptomburden was relevant, expressed by high ESSPRI values. Drugs that could worsen Sicca symptoms were frequentlyprescribed, mainly antidepressants. Symptom burden is significant in our cohort of SS patients. Unexpectedly,ESSPRI values were similar in both groups, despite the higher expected prevalence of Sicca complaints in ageriatric population. Even in people with mild illnesses, management of symptoms may be challenging and specialattention is needed in the geriatric population.

Published: July 2023

School feeding programs play a crucial role in addressing malnutrition and improving educational outcomes among school-age children. This study covered children’s perceptions of the school-based meal and changes in their diet. The study examined how a state-sponsored school feeding program was influenced by gender and the location of the school. Two research topics and two hypotheses guided the studies. In this study, the Diet Diversifications and Pupil’s Attitudes Scale (DDPAS) was used as a tool to collect data. Face validation of the instrument was performed by four professionals, including a test and measurement assessment lecturer and three from the vocational education department. The reliability indices of DDPAS were calculated using Cronbach’s alpha (α). The instruments were administered through a direct delivery and retrieval method. A total of 1,200 learners and 58 educators were chosen based on a systematic random sampling approach. To achieve the study objectives, descriptive and inferential statistics were deployed in the analysis of the data obtained. The main findings of this study revealed that pupils had a positive attitude toward the feeding program, particularly regarding the taste of the food provided. The findings from this study have implications for policymakers, educators, and nutritionists involved in the design and implementation of school feeding programs. These findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge on school feeding programs and offer practical recommendations for improving their nutritional impact and overall acceptance among pupils.

Published: July 2023

The goal of the study is to learn the level of education and participation of women in Water User Associations (WUA) of the Karasuu district and based on the results to develop recommendations for improving the role of women in WUAs. This study uses field research in five WUAs, which located in different parts of Karasuu district. Questionnaires were taken from 10 women from each WUA in order to learn the level of education of women and their participation in WUA. Based on a field research, recommendations developed to improve the role of women in WUAs. Most women in the WUA of Karasuu district are connected to the WUA through the work of family members or through their own position in the village leadership, which further increases their participation. For some, their husbands or male relatives attend meetings and therefore do not feel the need to participate themselves. Others, although interested in participating, but they did not know when and where these meetings were held. In order to promote the full participation of women, it is essential to raise public awareness of WUAs as a key player. However, questioners show that female farmers with higher education are more likely to participate in WUA meetings than women with school education.

‘This house belongs to everyone’: Otomí community occupation of the National Indigenous Peoples’ Institute (INPI) in Mexico City as a struggle for dignified housing and the right to the city
Authors:   Representatives of the Otomí community in Mexico City, Vilenica Ana , Guerra Arjona Felipe
Published: July 2023

The Otomí community, that migrated to Mexico City due to dire living conditions from their place of origin, has been demanding the right to housing, education, health, and work for over twenty years. However, they have continuously been denied dignified living conditions. On October 12, more then 150 people from the community took over the National Institute of Indigenous Peoples (INPI), a government institution that has implemented development projects aimed at purportedly enhancing the lives of indigenous communities and moved in making the offices their new home. They used the occupation to voice their demands for improved living conditions of the Otomí people in the capital as well as pueblos originarios across Mexico and to put an end to harmful mega projects and war against EZLIN. Otomí women have played a crucial role in occupying the INPI premises, engaging with government representatives, and acting as key intermediaries. In this conversation compañeras shared about the struggles of pueblos originarios that have led to their occupation. They discussed the reasons behind choosing this specific building for occupation, their approach to organizing inspired by the Zapatistas, and how they manage everyday life in the ex-office building they now occupy.
Being women scholar-activists: Tensions between the neoliberal university and grassroots housing movements
Authors: Bishop Meg , O’Connor Abi
Published: July 2023

Research rarely unpicks the variety of experiences that exist between activists at different intersections. Our paper attends to this shortfall in literature, firstly through the lens of gendered experiences of labour in housing movements, and secondly through the lens of casualised gendered labour as scholar-activists in the neoliberal university. How we, and others, negotiate these everyday politics will be analysed to offer a more complete understanding of the nuances and tensions at play even in the most progressive movements in Britain. By combining our own experiences with those gleaned from interviews with fellow activists, we develop a framework for understanding what we term ‘activist housework’ - often carried out by those of us who are not cis men - and how this shapes our capacity as organisers and researchers. This framework identifies mundane, everyday and behind-the-scenes labour of activism, which too often goes unseen in favour of focus on more emergent, organic and direct forms of resistance (Pain, 2019). Doing so, we consider, allows reflection on where and how resistance can and must change to maintain the welcome growth in housing activism in Britain.
PROFESSIONAL SECRECY IN THE SYSTEM OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURAL GUARANTEES FOR THE PROTECTION OF INFORMATION ABOUT A PERSON'S PRIVATE LIFE
Authors: Радова М.А.
Published: July 2023

В работе исследуется проблема, связанная с защитой сведений о частной жизни лица в процессе доказывания по уголовным делам. Обращено внимание на то, что расследование преступной деятельности нередко связано с вмешательством в личную жизнь человека. Приводятся примеры, когда полученные в рамках досудебного производства конфиденциальные данные не сохраняются в тайне от третьих лиц, что причиняет вред отдельным участникам уголовного процесса. Делается вывод о том, что сложившееся положение обусловлено недостатками законодательства. Межотраслевое регулирование этих вопросов нельзя признать оптимальным. Анализ соответствующих норм права, сложившихся общественных отношений позволил определить пути решения поставленной проблемы. Автор формулирует конкретные предложения, направленные на оптимизацию положений УПК РФ.

The paper investigates the problem associated with the protection of information about the private life of a person in the process of proving in criminal cases. Attention is drawn to the fact that the investigation of criminal activity is often associated with interference in a person's personal life. Examples are given when the received confidential data in the framework of pre-trial proceedings are not kept secret from third parties. This causes harm to individual participants in the criminal process. It is concluded that the current situation is due to shortcomings of the legislation. Intersectoral regulation of these issues cannot be considered optimal. An analysis of the relevant norms of law, existing social relations, made it possible to determine ways to solve the problem. The author formulates specific proposals aimed at optimizing the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation.

The aim of this study is to investigate how the sustainable green logistics system is impacted by sustainable green logistics activities utilizing a theoretical framework. In the beginning of this research, the elements of green logistics are outlined, along with current changes to this concept. Following an examination of earlier work on green logistics, this idea is examined. The green logistics' independent variables are financial economics, company environmental & social performance, logistics networking & transport, and information sharing are applied to clarify the influence of sustainable green logistics, which are significant indicators for assessing a company's performance. This study used data from earlier studies and SPSS to authenticate the data. Ensuring the dependability, independence, and reliability of each of a variable utilized in research. Value of Cronbach’s alpha which should be above 0.7 then the construct is reliable. Few limitations in our study, including limited observations of 199 responses, so in our study the revalidation of variables has not been conducted Furthermore the green logistics concept is so wide that it is impossible to study the entire domain in a single study. A company would implement green logistics operations to maintain its place in the market if the management compared the study's findings to those of its rivals in the market. The principle of green logistics also helps organizations to create an intellectual framework that increases added value. The study's results strengthen the continuity of green logistics inside the company.

To live with the artificial or to live as the artificial?
Authors: Kour Rasleen , Jayadevan Sreekumar
Published: July 2023

Human beings are at the crossroads where technology can be used to transcend the limits of nature. In our search for who we essentially are, there are two possibilities at the ends of a spectrum: one, the technologicus, a complete technological being ideated by Kevin Warwick; the other, the aestheticus, a higher liberated being implied by Goethe available in the works of Herbert Marcuse. Should we find our essential nature by being more human or blend in with technology? We show that the current trend in philosophy of technology is predictively and politically inadequate to handle this question. Interestingly, Schirmacher crosses the traditional boundary between the subject and the object, and posits the generator that is quintessentially artificial. If we are artificial at our core, is achieving the aestheticus any more significant? We weigh both the technologicus and the aestheticus with the generator, and contemplate the possibilities towards finality.
Global South perspectives: a curriculum analysis of a global North comparative international education graduate program
Authors: Casellato Mariana
Published: July 2023

The field of Comparative International Education trains new professionals every year who engage in work in diverse countries around the world, especially global South countries, influencing policy decisions. At the same time, the decolonization framework points out the epistemic dominance of the North, which faces the ‘other’ as an object of study rather than a subject capable of also producing knowledge. This study aims to use the framework of modernity/coloniality/decoloniality to understand the profile diversity of the authors used within the training of Comparative International Education (CIE) professionals in the Global North. It presents a bibliometric analysis of the syllabi of three offerings of the basic requirement course of the International Educational Development program at Teachers College Columbia University for the academic year of 2019-2020, evaluating the presence of Global South authors. Using basic descriptive statistics and social network analysis, this study investigates the geographic representation of the canons in the field by tracing the authorship of course readings. The findings demonstrate that research produced within the Global North is dominant in the basic training of CIE students, whereas Global South authors are present almost five times less than their Global North counterparts. While ways of addressing this disparity have already been set in motion, more can be done to further decolonial and ecology of knowledge frameworks in the future.
Earth worlds and Indigenous dream-making: A reflection on teaching for beauty, repair, and balance
Authors: Sumida Huaman Elizabeth
Published: July 2023

Based on long-term educational relationships with Indigenous communities in Peru, the U.S., and Canada, this article reflects on place-based Indigenous education in and out-of-school. From small community-based schools to tribal tertiary learning spaces, Indigenous educational leaders counter schooling as an instrument of coloniality/modernity by centering their knowledges toward relationships of interdependence for good human and planetary living. Confronting ontic and epistemic threats, Indigenous educators and students energize educational design and practice. I propose these processes as Indigenous dream-making, the daily work of honoring the beauty of Native earth worlds, repairing harms to the earth and her beings, and balancing difficult realities with good living. In this time of increased attention to sustainability in education and climate change action, bold Indigenous educational processes challenge human communities to learn in and across earth worlds and to teach for compassionate interconnection that can supplant the course of destructive relentless development.
