The emergence of a new virus in the global world at the end of 2019, namely Corona Virus Disease 2019, brought tremendous excitement to all inhabitants of the earth. The emergence of this virus brings tremendous concern and fear to the world because the spread of this virus is quite fast, even the most frightening is that the risk of death of people exposed to this virus is very large. Indonesia itself, cannot avoid the impact of this Covid-19 case. As a form of efforts to prevent and minimize transmission of the virus, the Indonesian government has issued a social distancing / physical distancing recommendation. This situation also causes the interaction between communities to be very limited. This situation seems to be able to eliminate hospitality among the community. This paper aims to emphasize the importance of maintaining the value of Christian hospitality in society amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

Air pollution is an environmental problem that is familiar to residents of absolutely all corners of the earth. It is especially acutely felt by residents of cities where enterprises of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, energy, chemical, petrochemical, construction, pulp and paper industries operate. In some cities, the atmosphere is also severely poisoned by vehicles and boiler houses. These are all examples of anthropogenic air pollution. The subject of the study is the emissions of carbon dioxide into the environment. The purpose of the study is to solve the problem of environmental pollution by harmful substances and preserve the ecology in the world. Methodology. The main indicators characterizing the impact on the environment - CO2 emissions in the global energy sector - have been systematized; two indicators have been identified that determine the level of atmospheric pollution. Results - the scale of the influence of atmospheric air pollution on human health and the entire ecosystem as a whole was revealed.

Just what happened to the dinosaurs? In the mind’s eye, travel back to the Cretaceous period, 65 million years ago. First, land in a region of the world that will someday be called Oklahoma. You are in the era of dinosaurs, although there are no longer as many species about, worldwide, as there were ten million or so years before. In all, 23 species roam their individual parts of the planet. It is their lack of spatial diversity that will make them vulnerable to the catastrophe that is about to befall the earth. So imagine you are there, together with triceratops, stegosaurus, velociraptors, and tyrannosaurus rex. Mostly they live off the land, and some of them live off each other. On this day none of the animals on earth can possibly have any awareness that they are about to disappear. Such a luxury will only be granted to a conscious species that has learned to explore the universe. For those who survive the initial impact explosion and its immediate consequences, the coming months will mark a terrible example of one of Cuvier’s “brief periods of terror.” In rapid succession, all life will be subject to a holocaust of staggering proportion, horrendous blast waves, searing winds, showers of molten matter from the sky, earthquakes, a terrible darkness that will cut out sunlight for a year, and freezing weather that will last a decade. The ozone layer will be destroyed, and acid rain will make life intolerable for species that survived the first few months after the impact. You are there and you have been observing an odd phenomenon in the sky. For thousands of years a great comet has loomed, repeatedly lighting up the heavens with its glorious tail and then fading away to reappear a few years later. Long ago it was seen to break into fragments, each of which was a spectacular sight in its own right. Sometimes one of those fragments seemed to loom ever so close to the earth. For thousands of years, spectacular meteor showers have been seen whenever the earth passed through the tail of one of those comets, and sometimes dust drifted down into the atmosphere and disturbed the climate.

<p>Natural disasters that occur today are closely related to a decrease in environmental quality caused by human actions, the occurrence of disasters, bringing humans to further consequences. Therefore, humans must change their behavior and outlook on nature. To create a harmonious life between humans and their environment in Hinduism, it is called Tri Hita Karana. The Tri Hita Karana concept is a philosophy of life, it has a concept that can preserve<br />cultural and environmental diversity amidst the impact of globalization and industrial progress. Ecology is the study of the relationship between organisms and their environment, both inorganic (abiotic) and organic (biotic) environments. In Hindu ecology there are 3 (three) dragons, namely Anantabhoga, Bāsuki, and Takṣaka. In the story of ipdiparwa, the dragon Anantabhoga was awarded by Bhaṭāra Brahmā for holding the earth. The three dragons are incarnations of the gods because seeing the state of living beings on earth is very miserable, then Lord Śiwa sent Lord Brahma to become the dragon Anantabhoga, Lord Wiṣṇu became the dragon Bāsuki, and Dewa Īśwara became the dragon Takṣaka. Anantabhoga’s dragon was in the ground, the head of the Bāsuki dragon became the sea and its tail became a mountain, while the winged Takṣaka dragon entered the sky. In the text of Śiwāgama it is mentioned that after this earth was created by Bhaṭāra Śiwa and Bhaṭāri Umā, at one time a disaster occurred, plants did not live well, water was not nutritious, and air caused illness. Therefore, Sanghyang Trimūrti came down to the world to help humans. Bhaṭāra Brahmā enters the ground and transforms into Anantabhoga’s dragon, Bhaṭāra Wiṣṇu plunges into the water, transforms into a Bāsuki dragon, and Bhaṭāra Iśwara enters into the air turning into a Takṣaka dragon.</p>

Covid-19 Spread Analysis is a stand-alone application developed in python which will help us to analyse the covid-19 cases all over the world. In this python project, we will implement a live dashboard for COVID 19 spread analysis. This dashboard will provide much insightful visualization for the study of corona virus spread. It will consist of a world map on which circles of the top 15 regions having the largest corona cases of will be displayed. There will be a table in the left panel showing the total active cases till date in the respective region. In the right panel, there will be a world map which will represent the impact of the virus using a red circle. More the number of cases in the region on the map, the bigger are the red circle in that region. Also, the user can see a detailed graph of state wise covid-19 cases of our country. This graph will show the active, confirmed, recovered and death cases. User can see all this information date wise as well as month wise. The graph will be updated every day so that user can clearly analyse the covid-19 spread. The project aims to understand various useful features of this tool and to present different concepts of data science applied within the application along with its importance in managing the ongoing pandemic. . It gives the readers an insight in to covid-19 spread is happening with the help of the entire data.

'Globalization from a postcolonial perspective' begins by considering how Che Guevara was influenced by Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth, which rapidly became the bible of decolonization after its publication in 1961. However, the inexorable forces of globalization since the 1980s have increasingly brought the world’s economies into a single capitalist system. While multi- and transnational companies looked to global markets for growth, they simultaneously lowered their cost base by outsourcing manufacturing or administration to any country that was poor and reasonably politically stable; few societies today have not felt the impact of their place in the world economy and the international division of labour.

Within the framework of this scientific article, we conduct a study of the dynamics of Russian exports, taking into account the variability of the world commodity markets of hydrocarbons. Interest is presented by the hypothesis proposed by the authors about groups of factors, which makes it possible to quantify the influence of each group of factors on the country’s exports. At the same time, the factors allowing assessing the impact of changes in hydrocarbon prices on exports are allocated to a separate research group. In addition, taking into account the analysis of scenarios for the development of the world economy, the authors present the results of their own estimates of the dynamics of Russian exports, taking into account changes in prices for hydrocarbon energy.
