The success of organizations in meeting their established objectives is intrinsically linked to the motivation of existing human resources. These elements are essential in influencing the creation of strategies that build an organization’s competitive advantage, leaving it in a favourable position in relation to its competitors [1]. Machado et al. [2] believe that “managing people means giving them opportunities to feel or stay motivated.” Nevertheless, organizations must recognize the importance of recognizing their employees’ abilities and potential for development, as not everyone has the same conditions......

Consider the dilemma of an unwanted child. Someone is pregnant and does not want the child. Who will adopt the child? Who will compensate the pregnant person for the burden of carrying and birthing the child? You have a firm stance: you want the child to be born and raised to adulthood. However, you have no intention of adopting or financially supporting the child or paying the person for bearing the burden of birthing the child. What are the options? Should we “force” the pregnant person to have and keep the child? Should we use society’s concentrated brute force-police, armed forces, and courts-to achieve this goal?..... ReadMore -

Have you heard of nuclear stockpiles? Of greenhouse gases? Of Earth’s glacial-interglacial cycle? Where do these come from? Nuclear stockpiles stem from humanity’s dedication to mass destruction—humans acting as their own executioner, constantly toying with the possibility of self-annihilation. Greenhouse gases are byproducts of the things humans make and use to meet their daily needs, with little to no attention given to the waste these processes generate. The glacial-interglacial cycle reflects Earth’s alternating environmental states, each offering vastly different conditions for human life. What do these have in common? They all share the potential to drive humanity toward extinction...... ReadMore -

We have attached a particular attention to that one, because he is the more secretive criminal actors and responsible for a significant part of fires that cause environmental and community damage, sometimes leading to her death people and always animals and plants in rural areas, able to stay showing, hidden, the disaster close of the hell representation.

The COVID-19 pandemic catapulted higher education into a revolutionary era, forcing a rapid transition from traditional in-person teaching to online learning [1]. This shift exposed students to new technologies that fundamentally transformed their educational experiences [2]. However, the higher education system, unprepared for such a dramatic change, struggled to address conflicting perceptions of its value. On one side, higher education was seen as a pathway to employability and social mobility, while on the other, it was envisioned as a means to cultivate critical thinking and enhance individual knowledge-seeking and processing capabilities [3]. Academic misconduct, including plagiarism, has long been a persistent challenge in higher education. It is widely understood that plagiarism impedes the development of critical thinking and a.....
