Korean immigrants have continued to form Protestant churches in the US and to contribute to overseas missions. As the American-born second generation grows, however, ethnic congregations of Koreans are experiencing generational struggles. These new challenges represent the potential for Korean American churches to broaden their missionary perspective and empower their missionary practices. Through gathering and witnessing with the second generation, immigrant churches can transform their churches into missionary communities that evangelize and cooperate with other Asian Americans. Second-generation Christians can also lead the immigrant churches to reach other ethnic groups in the US beyond their Korean enclaves.

Special economic zones (SEZs) are widely used across most developing and many developed economies. According to UNCTAD’s new SEZ database, there are nearly 5,400 zones across 147 economies as of 2019, up from about 4,000 five years ago. Although the performance of many zones remains below expectations, the rate of establishment of new zones is accelerating, and more than 500 new SEZs are already in the pipeline. In building new zones and revitalizing existing ones, policymakers and zone developers face new challenges in the context of a rapidly evolving global competitive landscape and the sustainable development imperative. This chapter provides an overview of the universe of SEZs and discusses their economic, social, and environmental impact—proposing an SEZ Sustainable Development Profit and Loss Statement. It highlights three key emerging challenges, points to five routes to modernizing SEZs, and outlines a pioneering idea of SDG model zones.

New challenges and the state of development of COVID-19 in connection with the spread of new strains of SARS-CoV-2 have been analyzed. Experience and knowledge in working with new means of protection of different types of vaccines are studied: both classic, based on inactivated virus or its fragment, and the new generation – with vector and genetic mRNA vaccines, as well as effective antiviral drugs. Biorisks and compliance with biosafety principles have been studied. The replenishment of the base of competencies for biotechnologists and pharmacists in the context of distance learning and response to the pandemic is considered. The new data were used to introduce and deepen knowledge about the new generation of vaccines and the dangers of dual use of experimental data in the development of new components of educational programs in "Biotechnology and Bioengineering" and “Pharmacy, Industrial Pharmacy”.

Abstract The primary goal of an advanced degree program is to educate and train the next generation of professionals. The education process must include historical exposure to past challenges and resolutions to enhance the development of creative thinking and problem solving skills. If this is not done, the resolution of recurring and new challenges will be minimal. Blind acceptance of “gold standards,” or the development of research techniques that are not economically based, minimize the progress is gained in each new generation. The presentation will address methods of preparing students for industry research challenges.

This article aims to highlight some of these challenges, including those relating to student counseling services, volunteering activities, learning environments, and learner perspectives. These challenges are framed and discussed within the context of medical education.
