Abstract Background Socioeconomic, cultural, technological, environment and ecological changes are rapidly transforming how children and young people (CYP) grow up, yet their impacts on CYP are difficult to predict. The traditional ways that Public Health practitioners work may not capture such complex and dynamic change. To address this, Lambeth Council used future scenario thinking. Methods A literature review looked at political, socioeconomic and other ‘transitions’ in the borough. Interviews, focus groups and workshops were held with CYP, parents, carers, local statutory and non-statutory stakeholders about the future for Lambeth CYP in the decade ahead. Themes were analysed to identify which had the potential for the biggest impact or the most uncertainty. Results The main transitions were described, 100 stakeholders interviewed, and five ‘drivers’ of the future were identified: protracted austerity, technological explosion, demographic shift, ‘democratic shake-up‘ and planetary health. From all these data, four future scenarios were developed: ‘communities care for themselves’, ‘collaborating to care for all’, ‘nobody cares’ and ‘who cares?’ Conclusions New insights were gained about promoting more responsibility for, and active participation of CYP. This led to Lambeth’s CYP Plan and the ‘Made in Lambeth’ campaign aiming to enlist the community and business in creating a child-friendly borough.

Working Out

The chapter constructs a notion of the present that is both relativity-friendly and serves the metaphysical role required by presentism. It draws a distinction between a static present based on simultaneity and a dynamic present based on co-presentness. Co-presentness points to a dynamic role of the present in separating a fixed past from an open future. That dynamical role is linked to the idea that dynamic change must be based on the indeterministic realization of possibilities for the future. In working out the formal details of this idea, the chapter makes use of the rich notion of modal correlations that BST offers. Depending on what exactly the modal correlations are like, the analysis delivers different regions of the past, present, and future of a given event.

Embodied Cognition Theory

The two conceptions of organization design—simultaneously historical legacy and dynamic change—create a major conundrum, identified by Simon’s (1996) as an important challenge to the design of social organizations. The solution, according to Simon, is to design without final goals, however no advice is provided about how this might be achieved. In this chapter, it is proposed that this is possible through the use of mechanisms that bridge between the past and the future of the organization’s design. The mechanisms are formative affectual contexts and design trace. Enhanced by embodied cognition theory, the notion of formative context provides a solid background for an understanding of the processes of organizational change that co-evolve with organization designing. The notion of design trace is based on the idea that organizational interactions leave a trace that can be harnessed and used to help manage the organization’s designing effort.

Suzhou City

Based on the statistical data from 1991 to 2010, the dynamic change of per unit area grain yield were discussed in Suzhou City. In the last 20 years, the per unit area grain yield took on an increasing trend in the fluctuation, using the GM (1, 1) model, per unit area grain yield will continue to grow in the next five years. According to the grey system theory, factors affecting per unit area grain yield are analyzed and correlative degree between factors and per unit area grain yield is quantitatively measured. The results show that the level of urbanization, modernization of agricultural science and technology and precipitation are the most important factors that affect per unit area grain yield, but economic factors such as GDP have less impact on per unit area grain yield in Suzhou City. Moreover, the construction of water conservancy should be strengthened to improve food production and disaster prevention capacity and focus on raising the level of agricultural modernization in the future. Relying on technological progress to improve per unit area grain yield is an important foundation for the future to ensure food stability during urbanization and economic development, which the cultivated area will continue to decrease.

New winds are blowing in the writing of the economic history of Southeast Asia. The traditional Eurocentric perspective of the colonial economy is gradually giving way to a more Asian perspective stressing similarities and mutual links within the region itself. The issue of Western expansion now appears less vital than long-run economic developments in the Asian economies. Political power struggles in colonial relationships are squeezed aside and replaced by a more quantification and an increasing appreciation of dynamic change that does not readily fit into the model of Westernstyle modernization. The aim of this article is to discuss some positions and directions that have come to the fore in the economic history of Southeast Asia in recent years. Without claiming to offer a full coverage of the field, it is believed that trends thus identified may suggest, at least in part, the future course of Southeast Asian economic history.

In this editorial, issue editor Rhonda Breit introduces the five peer-reviewed articles and three thoughtful and engaging reflections in the sixth issue of the SOTL in the South journal. These papers provide insights into how universities in the 'global South' are claiming a unique space in tertiary education: a space that responds to context, a space that is responsive to dynamic change and a space that values diversity and tradition. In addition, the editorial asks what sort of university leadership is needed in order to bring the global South in from the margins. Breit includes three reflections on leadership from academic leaders working in the global South that discuss how its universities are responding to disturbances and adapting to changing ecologies.    How to cite this editorial:  BREIT, Rhonda Alain.

Motivation Strategies

Life under conditions of dynamic change imposes a need for creating the future, managing ideas and talents, and this can only be achieved by capable leaders. Recognizing their need, both for organizations and society as a whole, interest in leadership is growing more and more. Leaders have always been in a prominent position in the organization, have always aroused the greatest attention, as they have the most impact on the performance of each organization. This also shows the importance of leadership that emanates from the capabilities of leaders to create a vision and to direct their energy towards achieving that vision. The focus of our research effort is to find out the ways in which leaders will involve and motivate their employees, bearing in mind the specific and important role of each individual within the organization. Nowadays, they can use numerous motivation strategies for employees, which are used extensively in modern organizations, such as: material stimulation, work enrichment, employee participation, MBO management, recognition and praise, advancement, career development, etc.

Second-epoch photographs have now been obtained for nearly 850 of the 1246 fields of the proper motion program with centers at declination -20° and northwards. For the sky at 0° and northward only 130 fields remain to be taken in the next year or two. The 270 southern fields with centers at -5° to -20° remain for the future.
