Konferencija u Ženevi udarila je temelje sveobuhvatnom projektu formulacije i strategije implementacije nove paradigme razvoja, koji uključuje niz međunarodnih organizacija civilnog društva kao što su WAAS, Rimski klub, Madridski klub (udruga bivših šefova država i vlada; članovi su iz Republike Hrvatske Stjepan Mesić i Luka Bebić), European Leadership Network (čiji je koordinator Lord D. Browne), pokret Pugwash, Partnership for Change, Nizami Ganjavi International Center, World Future Council, CICA, SDEWES i naravno VŠMODDH. Posebno je važan potprojekt u okviru nove paradigme osnivanje World University Consortiuma, čiji su temelji također utvrđeni u Ženevi, a slijedile su konferencije na sveučilištima California te Berkeley i Library of Alexandria, a projekt uključuje i Inter-University Centre Dubrovnik, čiji su članovi sada VŠMODDH i WAAS. Suradnja između Republike Kazahstan i VŠMODDH-a doživjela je svoju kulminaciju posjetom Republici Kazahstan u lipnju 2014. (u posjetu su bili dekan Ivo Šlaus, počasni predsjednik WAAS-a, Garry Jacobs, izvršni direktor WAAS-a, te prodekan Goran Bandov), te posebno sklapanjem ugovora o suradnji između VŠMODDH-a i šest sveučilišta u Kazahstanu: u Astani i u Almatyju, među kojima ističemo Al Farabi Kazakh National University, gdje je od 5 do 7. studenog 2014. održana međunarodna konferencija "New Paradigm of Sustainable Human Dvelopment-G-global, a New Form of Global Dialogue".

Angular distributions have been measured for Be (p, p)Be9 (elastic scattering), Be'(p, p')Be'~(2.43-MeVstate), Be (p, d)Be (ground state), Be'(p,d)Be'* (2,90-MeV state), Be'(p, d)Be'* (16. 93-MeV state), Be'(p,d)Be * (17.64-MeV state), Be'(p, d)Be'* (18.15-MeV state), Be'(p,d)Bes* (19. 05-MeV state), Be'(p, t)Be~(ground state), Be'(p, t)Be'* (4.55-MeV state), Be'(p, t) Be' (6.51-MeV state), and Be'(p, t) Be'* (10.79-MeV state).

By means of these measurements, we have probed the matter distributions of nucleons in these few-body nuclei, particularly the neutron distribution in 3H (which cannot be accessed with electron scattering), and have investigated the extent to which charge symmetry is broken in the strong interaction.

Such data are necessary in the study of quasifree processes, which frequently are hampered by the lack of cross-section data of the corresponding free processes. Normalization to existing Ep=13.6-MeV data shows that the 3H content of the

His marriage with Harmonia represents the symbolic coupling of Eastern learning and Western love of beauty. The youngest son of Cadmus and Harmonia is Illyrius. The city of Zagreb, which is the formal seat of SEED, was once a part of Illyria, a region including what is today referred to as the Western Balkans and even more. Cadmus will be a journal for fresh thinking and new perspectives that integrate knowledge from all fields of science, art and humanities to address real-life issues, inform policy and decision-making, and enhance our collective response to the challenges and opportunities facing the world today.

And Adam's pointing to God. This is creation and permanent change and expression of God's love. Freedom Change and creativity are intertwined with freedom: freedom of individual human beings and of nature. This is well described by a famous Einstein-Bohr discussion. Einstein: "I do not think God play dice with us." Bohr: "He does! " Bohr: "Stop telling God what to do." It is not a determined world, but a creative world-creative nature-and creative humans.

This model is constructed in STELLA software, which makes use of Systems Dynamics Modeling as the methodology. Several baseline scenarios have been developed from this model and a set of options of possible developments of Kosovo's Electricity Supply–Demand and Gaseous Emissions are investigated. The analysis of various scenarios results in Medium Growth Scenarios (MGS) that imply building of generation capacities and increase in participation of the electricity generation from renewable sources. MGS would be 10 % of

Survival of humanity demands paradigmatic changes. Saving natural and human capital requires new economic and new political paradigms. We focus here on political paradigm change. The world today can be destroyed in less than a day by error, terror and stupidity. We know that the world and its natural and human capital will be destroyed in about ten years, unless we change our economic, political and social paradigms. Humankind is entering a phase of continuous paradigmatic changes—some beneficial but some disruptive and destructive and we have to change our mindset, notably our political paradigm. We have at most about ten years, and pandemics, such as COVID-19, can make it even shorter. It is necessary that the paradigm change is accomplished within that time interval. This is almost an oxymoron: profound change simultaneously carried out within a short time interval. The last two decades were the best time ever, but ou...

The document is intended to serve as a basis for discussion leading to the preparation of a formal presentation to the NATO conference on WMD in Split, May 6-7, 2013.

None of them can be solved by war, military action and economic sanctions. Neither disagreement nor conflicts can be solved by war. Humans are "eusocial" species (the technical term for displaying altruistic behaviour), like ants. Humans are cooperative and competitive, selfish and altruistic. Even if we accept that humans may have a psychobiological propensity for aggressiveness, there is no evidence that the acts of aggression, violence or war are inevitable. The Seville Statement on Violence stated in 1986 that peace is possible and that wars and violence can be ended, making it clear that there is nothing in biology that stands in the way of creating a world without war. Recent history proves that war and even possession of destructive weapons do not guarantee victories in conflicts. Participants at the International Conference on Nuclear Threats and Security organized by the World Academy of Art and Science, European Leadership Network and Dag Hammarskjöld University College under the NATO sponsorship emphasized that nuclear weapons, weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in general and war do not solve confrontations and that it is imperative to establish nuclear weapons free zones (NWFZ). Several NWFZ have already been established. World without nuclear weapons and eventually, world without war are achievable goals. Countries in the Middle East can benefit if Middle East NWFZ is established and extended to associations of countries similar and better than the EU.

It is shown that the present paradigm is not sustainable and that it keeps the world constantly at the edge of a catastrophe: destruction of our civilization. The necessity of a new global paradigm is emphasized. It is stressed that guiding principles of the new paradigm should be humancentered and humanity-centered.
