ABSTRACT This article reviews issues of substance and perspective on global debates that have evolved from those evident at foundational, pre-IALIC foundational conferences in Leeds to those at the online IALIC 2021 Conference, organised by the Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá. Focusing mainly on the latter event, the article proceeds by analysing some of the perceptions of interculturality in South America while spotlighting the contributions of native communities in their evolving contexts. The author concludes by acknowledging that the ‘South’ is talking back and that the inter-epistemic exchange between plurilingual academics, including community researchers, stimulates global debates and addresses local challenges.

Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0 refers to the evolution of industries, particularly in the manufacturing and chain production areas. Executive managerial decisions this industry have a substantial impact on technology, data management and analytics, data security, risk management, regulatory compliance, validation, and human resource practices, among other things. Artificial Intelligence, sensors, enterprise-level solution platforms, and Machine Learning will all be used extensively in the fourth industrial revolution. In industry 4.0, the volume of external and internal Internet of Things (IoT) data is expected to expand, resulting in a drastic shift in information. The IR4.0 will result in an abundance of data flowing to quality experts in real-time, and this data will come from various sources at the same time, necessitating intelligent utilization to enable quick and effective decision-making. Managers and quality control employees must make the necessary decisions to provide a smooth transition to digital technology, which will increase the efficiency and quality of manufactured goods and services. Companies will be required to employ effective risk management strategies as part of the fourth industrial revolution in order to improve product quality and operational efficiency by allowing machine learning and Artificial Intelligence to give the finest services. As a result, the risk management team must develop plans to ensure that these tactics are implemented properly. Furthermore, quality managers must ensure that Quality 4.0, which will coincide with the fourth industrial revolution, is implemented effectively. Previous research into how Industry 4.0 affects managerial decisions has been lacking and unsatisfactory. As a result, the article tries to provide a complete assessment of the fourth industrial revolution’s management implications.

This scientific article objective is to investigate the cultural identity and legal philosophy of multiculturalism. The subject area extends into different disciplines such as politics, philosophy, law and international relations. The question of who has the right to determine who belongs to a particular ethnic community and who does not is a pervasive one. In the following we focus on the social and political dimensions of multicultural life. The analysis requires an examination of the appropriate legal framework. From the scientific methods we have used the analytical and descriptive method to analyse the current situation.

Technology is by far an inseparable tool to foreign language learning. Computer assistance language learning, (CALL) presented in the sixties was only the beginning of a new era in foreign language learning, to be ensued by information and communication technology (ICT) in the form of e-learning and the Internet in the recent decades. This paper aims at investigating how commonly is technology used in the foreign language classes in Albanian education system and what English language teachers (ELT) state about digitalisation effect in the learning environment and the students` performance according to personal experience. By using “ Eight Questions to Ask Yourself”, (Hockly N., 2011b) questionnaire adopted into test mode, comprising eight items to respond in a Likert scale, coded from 1-6, it resulted that the vast majority of ELT (91-95%) state that digitalization is time and effort effective and it facilitates the lesson presentation and is a crucial tool to enhance the foreign language environment. 42 % of ELT have a range of tools and repertoire of techniques to draw on and only 33 % design effective task types for the tool. They rely on internet application as a resource in foreign language classes. However they consider that technology is both stimulating and distracting to students, who are reportedly digital natives.

In a highly multicultural society, it is right to speak of welcome and educational care, a perfect combination that should characterise all educational contexts starting with the family and the school. Welcome and care have a strong impact on the educational and training context. A foreign child who finds himself in a new environment should feel welcomed, recognised, valued in his original and individual way of being, the bearer of his own history, and this should happen during his growth and learning process. Taking care of the child, having a genuine interest in him, in his well-being and growth, requires special attention to his education and training.

The modern labor market changes as society changes. Employees should be treated equally, regardless of age, gender, race, beliefs, etc. Such a right is guaranteed in international and national legal acts. Despite legal regulations, the situation of different groups varies. The subject of the issue is extremely extensive, therefore the article summarizes selected data on the realities of the labor market, which are juxtaposed with the legal framework within which it should function. In the article European statistical data was used. The author has analyzed literature in the field of law and human resources management, legal acts.

Purpose. This study aims to reveal the experience of Ukraine in banning as a method of struggle against Russian propagandist anti-Ukrainian films. Methods. Deduction technique as a process of logical concluding based on the complex of analyzed facts as well as summarizing have been applied. Results. Cinematographic informational aggression of Russia against Ukraine began in 2000 with the coming to power of V. Putin. Taking into consideration the fact, that it is television which is the most popular source of information for the absolute majority of Russians it can be claimed that Russian propagandistic films, which are very products of Putin’s policy, played not the last role in inciting aggression among Russian population. Discussion. Since 2000 Russian cinema production has started to actively focus on popularization of their own power structures and producing films propagating war, aiming at inciting of inter-ethnical, religious aggression, humiliation of Ukrainian nation, humiliation of an individual etc. the films have been heating up Russian’s aggression against Ukrainians and preparing Russia’s population for the war with Ukraine. These films possess great potential to form mythological thinking and stereotyping of viewers’ views. Practice has proved that introducing prohibitions as a method of struggle against anti-Ukrainian propagandist films is quite an effective method of defense.

Throughout history, mankind has been inclined to use an increasingly advanced technology to enhance communication skills between them. Communication already represents a need as essential as it is considered one of the fundamental human rights. This right of communication today translates, among others, as the right to freedom of expression, as well as the right to information. These rights are provided in the highest acts such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the European Convention on Human Rights, the Constitution of the Republic of Albania as well as other laws or bylaws issued on the basis and implementation of the Constitution. The human right to express oneself, to be informed and at the same time to preserve privacy, is developing along with the great boom that has taken place in the development of communication technology, in an increasingly connected world, so much so that to look like a global village, where information spreads very quickly. The evolution that has taken place with the development of information technology and related digital communications in recent years has changed the communication practices around the world. But in addition to this, the legislation that regulates this field has undergone constant changes, due to the fact of direct implication for human rights.
