@ZelenskyyUa You should pride yourself on what I call Ukrainian “exceptionalism”: Thanks to you, the Ukrainian military is the only military in the world that currently poses a deliberate existential threat to more than 100 million civilians. Shame on you!
@MOHSingapore For next time, if and when hantavirus is suspected to appear in Singapore again, make sure you isolate the whole plane, instead of merely quarantining the few suspected cases. Singaporeans' health is of utmost importance.
@UN 99% of the time, ozone is indispensably good. Still, 1% of the time, it is counterproductive. The ozone layer above war zones should be responsible for protracted wars. When ozone is largely gone above war zones, wars end faster, and civilians suffer less.
#Sudan is still the world's largest hunger crisis.
After an eight-day visit to the country, Acting @WFPChief@CarlSkau shares what he witnessed and warns that funding shortfalls could force cuts to lifesaving assistance in the weeks ahead.
We cannot keep failing the people of Sudan.
@UN For the safety of UN staff members & world leaders, the UN headquarters should be relocated elsewhere--where the city is free from gun violence. I suggest Singapore/Kuala Lumpur. They are both safe, modern, and warm. SG & MY can also win votes from both sides of the aisle.
@NUSingapore I assume NUS instructors to be highly revered teachers who are competent and diligent. Do competent and diligent teaching staff need to use AI to know how to explain concepts, to formulate lesson plans, and to make quizzes/tests?
@ShanghaiRanking Take Adam Smith as an example. His success was not attributable to the Oxford faculty. Instead, he conceived economic concepts by drawing inspiration from their abdication of teaching responsibility. So, "Alumni" doesn't reflect the quality of education. (3/3)
@ShanghaiRanking Let P be "good teaching," and let Q be "becoming laureates." Even if I assume "if P, then Q" is true, and given that Q is true, I cannot conclude that P is true. Also, R (self-instruction) could be why. We didn't rule out the possibility that "if R, then Q." (2/3
@ShanghaiRanking While ARWU has no disputable reputation subscores, its "Alumni" subscore doesn't reflect teaching. We know the consequent that some alumni received renowned awards, but do we know for sure that the antecedent is that their ex-instructors taught them well? (1/3)
@UN_News_Centre@antonioguterres Thus, they should by no means be morally responsible for their ancestors' deeds, making revenge totally irrelevant. (3/4)
@UN_News_Centre@antonioguterres Today's people do not retain memories of lives they never experienced. Hence, they do not share the same personal identity as their ancestor. (2/4)
@UN_News_Centre@antonioguterres For people who call for violence against citizens of previously fascist states, I say (citing Derek Parfit): the minds of living individuals in those states are psychologically incontinuous with those of the minority of their ancestors who committed crimes against humanity. (1/4)
@NUSingapore I'm letting you know you're not 121 years old. A medical school per se is not a university. For QS, an institution must have at least two subjects in two fields to receive a score and a ranking. Thus, you are at most 77, making you as old as my country.
@Tsinghua_Uni Whichever university that can develop ozone capture technology will be able to serve greatly to its nation. I'm not talking about our nearby O3; rather, I'm suggesting capturing O3 in the ozone layer. Then, ultraviolet rays may be exploited as a weapon. Keep up, MSE
@QSCorporate Shevchenko believed in making legacies by ingenuity, but Magocsi showed no creativity. Both editions of Magocsi's work followed two editions of Subtelny's work. The "U" of T doesn't deserve 100 on academic reputation. Your surveys should be sent to the right people.
@QSCorporate In his book A History of Ukraine, Paul Magocsi describes the Haidamak movement with a lack of focus. He also neglects the historical significance of Holodomor and misses important details mentioned in Orest Subtelny's Ukraine: A History. (1/2)
@UNESCO It's been a long time since the female gender no longer becomes a barrier or a ground for discrimination in college admissions. When will the foreign identity become unproblematic to admissions officers? When will admissions offices around the world become more civilized?
@Ukraine Land Acknowledgement for Lviv National Music Academy:I wish to acknowledge the land on which the Lviv National Music Academy operates. For thousands of years, Galicia has been the traditional land of the Poles. We're grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
@UniofOxford Regarding research, you don't deserve a good academic reputation. You condone plagiarists like Mark Carney. You should be like the University of al-Qarawiyyin, which has been overshadowed by universities established later.
