This essay analyzes the historical connections that have articulated the foundations of natural sciences and the technology in worldwide ambit during the 20st century. The need to construct new educational and philosophical conceptions compromised with the sustainability and the future of the planet and the humanity is treated in this essay. The limitations of natural sciences in the solution of complex problems of the humanity are questions also shown in this study. Finally the importance of education for the construction of the economic and social development has been emphasized.
AbstractViolent organizations with extreme ideologies such as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria are often characterized as lawless, irrational, and therefore difficult or even impossible to predict and understand. Contrary to this conventional wisdom, I argue that many armed extremist groups across history and around the world share a common element: law-like systems of rules that they use to justify violence, regulate the conduct of civilians as well as their own members, and to transform social, political, and economic institutions in ways that will advance their ideological and strategic objectives. In Part I, I lay out a new research agenda for the study of "insurgent legality," arguing that legal scholars and practitioners should take seriously the internal regulatory and governance systems of violent and criminal non-state actors in order to understand not only how these groups emerge and establish legitimacy in the eyes of their members and supporters, but also how their legitimacy can be undermined. In the case of rebel insurgent groups like the Islamic State, I argue that an insurgent group's establishment of a legal system that is perceived by the local population as relatively more effective and fairer than that of the state it seeks to overthrow or secede from can greatly facilitate its capture and governance of territory. But if, over time, the insurgent group's system of law and governance becomes increasingly flawed by procedural injustice, corruption, discrimination against marginalized groups, increasing taxes without corresponding improvements in rights and services, and arbitrary violence, it will lose local support and become more vulnerable to collapse under pressure from growing internal threats of public resistance and infighting as well as the external threat of military defeat.In Part II, I test and find support for this theory with qualitative and quantitative data collected over the course of more than two years of field research in Iraq and southern Turkey including: an original household survey of 1,458 residents of the Islamic State's former capital city, Mosul; in-depth interviews with more than two hundred Syrians and Iraqis who lived under the Islamic State's rule; and a dataset of more than 1,500 primary source documents that maps the expansion and eventual retreat of the Islamic State's governance and lawmaking activities across time and space in all twenty-two Syrian districts that the group controlled to some extent between 2013 and 2017. Consistent with my theory, this data demonstrates the importance of legal institutions both for the Islamic State's initial success and the ultimate failure of its state-building project. Part III discusses the lessons learned and broader implications of this research for post-conflict peace-building, transitional justice, and countering the potential resurgence of the Islamic State that are informed not only by my academic research but also by my practical experience working with United Nations agencies in Iraq on these issues. I conclude by suggesting that my theory of insurgent legality can be extended to study the internal regulatory and governance systems of other violent or criminal non-state actors in very different contexts including drug cartels, white supremacist movements, pirates, and ransomware hackers.

This paper surveys the empirical literature on the growth effects of education & social capital. The main focus is on the cross-country evidence for the OECD countries, but the paper also briefly reviews evidence from labor economics, to clarify where empirical work on education using macro data may be relatively useful. It is argued that on balance, the recent cross-country evidence points to productivity benefits of education that are at least as large as those identified by labor economists. The paper also discusses the implications of this finding. Finally, the paper reviews the emerging literature on the benefits of social capital. Since this literature is still in its early days, policy conclusions are accordingly harder to find.
El autor considera la educación superior como un potencial creativo culturalmente creativo y vital de la filosofía de la educación continua del individuo y centra la atención en la lógica interna y externa adicional de la transformación de las instituciones educativas que requieren coordinación, que no siempre es automática. El dominio de la lógica interna de las instituciones educativas conduce a la capsulización en el espacio social, provoca constituciones de provincias pedagógicas peculiares con pretensiones de una realidad social transtemporal alternativa. El dominio de la lógica externa en estas transformaciones oculta el peligro de subordinar la racionalidad pedagógica a la racionalidad económica y política. Advierte contra la comercialización de la educación, especialmente la educación superior, que está llena de peligros de su instrumentalidad, lo que contradice su propósito de civilización. ; The author considers higher education as a culturally creative and vital creative potential of the philosophy of continuing education of the individual. Focuses attention on the further internal and external logic of the transformation of educational institutions that require coordination, which is not always automatic. The dominance of the internal logic of educational institutions leads to the capsulization in the social space, causes constitutions of peculiar pedagogical provinces with claims to an alternative transtemporal social reality. The dominance of external logic in these transformations conceals the danger of subordinating the pedagogical rationality to economic and political rationality. Cautions against the commercialization of education, especially higher education, which fraught with danger of its instrumentality, which contradicts its civilization purpose.
This report provides an overview of federal and state public health laws as they relate to the quarantine and isolation of individuals, a discussion of constitutional issues that may be raised should individual liberties be restricted in a quarantine situation, and federalism questions that may arise where federal and state authorities overlap. In addition, the possible role of the armed forces in enforcing public health measures is discussed, specifically whether the Posse Comitatus Act would constrain any military role, and other statutory authorities that may be used for the military enforcement of health measures.
