Mateusz Banaszkiewicz, from the SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw, talks about the effects of thinking and acting automatically, and how to fight destructive habits.

This paper studied the concept of the habitability of buildings as a sustainability factor in the living environment, particularly in the city of Bogotá. The habitability factor stems from the relationship between human beings, the cultural dimension and the environment. Thus, we can say that the habitability factor is an important element in the building design process. Currently in Bogotá there are buildings that do not meet the requirements of the population. In Bogotá only 40% of buildings are of a good quality and a great number of newly produced buildings have made for lower quality living spaces. Consequently, it is important to give an adequate response to these kinds of demands. For thase reasons, this study created a model to evaluate the habitability factor of buildings. This model gives some guidelines for designing sustainable buildings and implementing stategies to design a better urban habitat. Finally, the Habitability model was tested as a pilot in the Primero de Mayo neighbourhood, which is located in the fourth district of Bogotá. The neighbourhood was classified as a cultural heritage site by city hall.

The interview provides a record of a conversation held during the XXIII International Congress of Historical Sciences in Poznan, with late antiquity scholar and epigraphic specialist Ignazio Tantillo (professor at the Università di Napoli “L’Orientale”). The conversation revolves around the matter of understanding the peculiarities of Late Antiquity in terms of an autonomous period in history, the temporal and spatial framework of which remains the subject of deliberations to this day. In the article, Ignazio Tantillo discusses the role of new challenges and hopes for scholars of Late Antiquity in the coming decades. The conversation also includes a reflection upon the nature of the historian's involvement in the public sphere, the (paradigm of public history), especially in the context of the “cancel culture” phenomenon.

This study offers an overview of how changing habits in consuming a cup of tea can contribute to make better environment. As the initial existing scenario, survey for picturing Indonesian consumers in preparing their cup of tea from dried leaves was conducted to urban and suburban citizens. According to the survey, both respondent groups were using LPG as the first choice in boiling water for preparing tea, followed by using an electric dispenser as the second choice. This habit causes CO2 emission from processing a cup of tea by Indonesian consumer was 24 g CO2-eq per cup of tea, excluding the tea organic waste. The portion of CO2 emission from boiling water in tea preparation was 41.93% of whole CO2 emission from plantation to served cup. The emission can be significantly reduced by converting dried tea (initial scenario) into the ready-to-drink product, in the form of powdered tea (second scenario) and boxed tea (third scenario). This study simulated an integrated system of tea product manufacturing system with biogas utilization produced from tea organic waste. Simulation conducted based on daily manufacturing process at the Gamboeng green tea factory. Additional required energies were simulated from the wood pellet, which is the best practice in the Gamboeng Tea factory. By shifting tea consuming habit from dried tea to powdered tea and/or boxed tea, the emission from a cup of tea can be reduced, with range of reduction varied from 8.87 g to 22.13 g CO2-eq per cup of tea. If the Gamboeng green tea daily production capacity of the factory is fully converted into powdered tea, the potency of CO2 emission reduction reaches 26.92 metric ton CO2. However, the factory should pay attention to providing the water for the manufacturing process. The required water was 45.23 m3 of drinking water if all dried tea converted to powdered tea. Moreover, 11.53 m3 of water is required as irrigation for the biogas process in converting all tea organic waste into biogas.
