Information technology is currently developing rapidly, quickly, easily, and very sophisticatedly, so that it becomes a necessity and lifestyle for the world community without exception, people in Indonesia are also affected by the development of information technology at this time. One aspect of technological development is the emergence of many social media sites such as Google or Mozilla Firefox and others, but the most popular among social media users include Facebook.

One of its main objectives is to raise awareness about the political, social and cultural rights of individuals and groups, including freedom of speech and the responsibilities and social implications that arise.

Comprehensive training (humanistic, scientific, technological and innovative) constitutionally stands at the fundamental in the effective social appropriation of knowledge for the transformation of pseudoscientific social practices, towards a social and productive training organized in the humanistic, scientific and ancestral knowledge. This aspect upon not being considered by the Law on Science, Technology and Innovation (Law 1286, 2009) nor by the CONPES 3582 of 2009, throws into question it's judicial validity, as by placing the emphasis on the social appropriation of knowledge in informal education (media, scientific articles, science fairs, shows, etc.) rather than in comprehensive training, unaware of the potential social effectiveness of the formal education system in achieving the vision of multicultural, independent and sovereign. This article reflects the political legitimacy and legal validity of the comprehensive training given in the Letter to the formal education system, in carrying out its public function to enable the social appropriation of scientific knowledge and ancestral condition of the cultural transformation of our nation as a society and the economy of knowledge. ; La formación integral (humanística, científica, tecnológica e innovadora) se erige constitucionalmente en el epicentro medular de la efectiva apropiación social del conocimiento para la transformación de las prácticas sociales pseudocientíficas de camino hacia una formación social y productiva organizada en el conocimiento humanístico y científico, y en los saberes ancestrales. Este aspecto al no ser considerado por la Ley de ciencia, tecnología e innovación (Ley1286 de 2009) ni por el CONPES 3582 de 2009 deja en entredicho su validez jurídica, por cuanto al colocar el énfasis de la apropiación social del conocimiento en la educación informal (medios de comunicación, artículos científicos, ferias de la ciencia, espectáculos, etc.) y no en la formación integral, desconoce la potencial eficacia social del sistema educativo formal en la realización del proyecto de nación pluricultural, autónoma y soberana. El presente artículo reflexiona la legitimidad política y validez jurídica de la formación integral propuesta en la Carta al sistema educativo formal, en desempeño de su función pública de posibilitar la apropiación social del conocimiento científico y ancestral, condición de la transformación cultural de nuestra nación como sociedad y economía del conocimiento.

This open access book collects expert contributions on actuarial modelling and related topics, from machine learning to legal aspects, and reflects on possible insurance designs during an epidemic/pandemic. Starting by considering the impulse given by COVID-19 to the insurance industry and to actuarial research, the text covers compartment models, mortality changes during a pandemic, risk-sharing in the presence of low probability events, group testing, compositional data analysis for detecting data inconsistencies, behaviouristic aspects in fighting a pandemic, and insurers' legal problems, amongst others. Concluding with an essay by a practicing actuary on the applicability of the methods proposed, this interdisciplinary book is aimed at actuaries as well as readers with a background in mathematics, economics, statistics, finance, epidemiology, or sociology.

In this paper, we argue for a stronger engagement between concepts in affective and social neuroscience on the one hand, and theories from the fields of anthropology, economics, political science, and sociology on the other. Affective and social neuroscience could provide an additional assessment of social theories. We argue that some of the most influential social theories of the last four decades—rational choice theory, behavioral economics, and post-structuralism—contain assumptions that are inconsistent with key findings in affective and social neuroscience. We also show that another approach from the social sciences—plural rationality theory—shows greater compatibility with these findings. We further claim that, in their turn, social theories can strengthen affective and social neuroscience. The former can provide more precise formulations of the social phenomena that neuroscientific models have targeted, can help neuroscientists who build these models become more aware of their social and cultural biases, and can even improve the models themselves. To illustrate, we show how plural rationality theory can be used to further specify and test the somatic marker hypothesis. Thus, we aim to accelerate the much-needed merger of social theories with affective and social neuroscience.

© 2014 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht. The tendency towards self-interest and an increasingly commercial orientation in accounting, together with a string of business and accounting scandals, brings the professional status of accounting into question. This chapter explores the how a renewed sense of professionalism within accounting may lead to greater recognition of the social within accounting. Positioned at the margins of accounting, social accounting includes emergent technologies of social accounting, focusing on silent, shadow, and counter accounting that expose values and priorities, challenge accepted understandings, generate new visibilities, and highlight the perspectives of neglected and marginalised segments of society. In so doing, social accounting may provide an important means for addressing the public interest agenda in accounting, and for strengthening the relationship between accounting and the public interest.
