Using poetic self-study, the author recounted her own lived experiences during the first year as an international doctoral student in New Zealand to explore how her academic identity emerged and (re)constructed. The article draws on theories of space and place, investigating the spatial production and social interactions of the author within spaces that, in turn, influenced her sense of being an academic. While literature has been more concerned with the questions of what activities, relations, and contexts contribute to the academic identity development of doctoral students, the author seeks to forefront the where of academic identity configuration.

Full textAbstract:
This article employs criticality, a concept that embodies various intellectual values, to evaluate the forms and degree of criticality currently manifested in hospitality higher education. Criticality is discussed in relation to the academic well-being of hospitality as an academic subject. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 55 academics working in nine universities in the United Kingdom, capturing how they interpret criticality in relation to teaching hospitality courses and conducting hospitality research. The study revealed that conceptualizations of criticality in relation to the academic subject of hospitality largely occupy an uncritical conceptual space. Hospitality is restrictively understood with its commercial manifestations, namely ‘the hotel industry’, with alternative understandings of hospitality and hospitality offerings largely missing. The primary purpose of teaching criticality is perceived as an essential competency crucial for graduate employability. Critical research is perceived as studies that are relevant and applicable to ‘the hotel industry’. The conceptualizations of criticality revealed an unwelcoming academic community, whereby a dismissive attitude was expressed towards alternative approaches to the study of hospitality. With the prevalent neo-liberal influences on higher education, an uncritical conceptual space of hospitality raises serious concerns regarding the future development of hospitality as an academic subject in higher education.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the growing use of Twitter in academic and artist practices. The authors explore commonalities, overlaps and differences within the reflections on the initial and ongoing motivations, usage and learnings the authors have encountered whilst immersed in this environment. Design/methodology/approach – The authors locate the particular inquiry by drawing on the literature surrounding digital identities, academic literacies and digital scholarship. Departing from other studies, the focus is on a narrative inquiry of the lived experiences as academics and as artists using Twitter. Findings – Academics use of Twitter plays a distinctly social role enabling communication that connects, and fostering accessible and approachable acts. It enables a space for challenging norms of academic ways of being and behaving. In addition, the authors draw conclusions about the “messiness” of the interconnected space that incorporates multiple identities, and highlight the risk taking the authors associate with using Twitter. Research limitations/implications – Academic practice is ever changing in the contemporary university. This initial study of academic and artist practices and the use of Twitter suggests future developments including participants using similar questions to elicit notions of practice to engage in a deeper understanding of motivations and behaviours. Practical implications – In using social media tools such as Twitter, individual academics and their practices are modified; the impact of this practice is visible. Originality/value – The authors contribute to emerging discussions and understandings about academics, social media and identity. The authors argue that by participating in the use of Twitter, the authors are part of the collective process of challenging what it means to be an academic and artist.

Introduction. The economic progress of any country or region is always scientifically based. Science itself creates the tools for technological, economic and social development, however, in the context of the global problem of mass “pseudo scientific” research and “pseudo study” the specified causal relationships are unimplemented, which leads to distortion of the educational system. One of the major reasons for this is the process of violating the standards of academic integrity, and sometimes their misunderstanding also. The social aspect of academic integrity is very important. Understanding one’s own responsibility (or irresponsibility) for violating the standards of scientific ethics from the point of teachers and students directly determines the perception of the higher education system in Ukraine. It also determines formation the system of values that is formed in youth during studying in educational institutions. Purpose. The aim of the article is to investigate the special aspects of implementation the principles of academic integrity in Ukraine, their comparison with the European ones, and further proposals development on minimizing academic dishonesty. Research methods. Generalization, analysis, synthesis, comparison. Results. The legal aspect of academic integrity in Ukrainian law and its difference with the standards defined in the SAIUP project have been investigated. The directions of increasing the level of academic integrity among students are determined. The problem of plagiarism in the educational and scientific environment was investigated and the prospects of integration of the Unicheck platform and the national scientific texts repository are outlined. The approaches for understanding plagiarism with the international turnitin platform are described. A list of plagiarism checking resources is grouped. The responsibility for the proven facts of plagiarism is signified. Conclusions. Using the article-based tools to promote academic integrity will increase the confidence in Ukrainian academic science in general and will increase economic security level in particular higher education institutions.

Jordan, K. (2019). Separating and merging professional and personal selves online: The structure and processes that shape academics’ ego-networks on academic social networking sites and Twitter. Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, 70(8), 830-842. https://doi.org/10.1002/asi.24170
Abstract
Objective – To examine the structure of academics’ online social networks and how academics understand and interpret them.
Design – Mixed methods consisting of network analysis and semi-structured interviews.
Setting – Academics based in the United Kingdom.
Subjects – 55 U.K.-based academics who use an academic social networking site and Twitter, of whom 18 were interviewed.
Methods – For each subject, ego-networks were collected from Twitter and either ResearchGate or Academia.edu. Twitter data were collected primarily via the Twitter API, and the social networking site data were collected either manually or using a commercial web scraping program. Edge tables were created in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and imported into Gephi for analysis and visualization. A purposive subsample of subjects was interviewed via Skype using a semi-structured format intended to illuminate further the network analysis findings. Transcripts were deductively coded using a grounded theory-based approach.
Main Results – Network analysis replicated earlier findings in the literature. A large number of academics have relatively few connections to others in the network, while a small number have relatively many connections. In terms of reciprocity (the proportion of mutual ties or pairings out of all possible pairings that could exist in the network), arts and humanities disciplines were significantly more reciprocal. Communities (measured using the modularity algorithm, which looks at the density of links within and between different subnetworks) are more frequently defined by institutions and research interests on academic social networking sites and by research interests and personal interests on Twitter. The overall picture was reinforced by the qualitative analysis. According to interview participants, academic social networking sites reflect pre-existing professional relationships and do not foreground social interaction, serving instead as a kind of virtual CV. By contrast, Twitter is analogized to a conference coffee break, where users can form new connections.
Conclusion – Academic social networking sites exhibit networks that are smaller, denser, more clustered around discrete modularity classes, and more reciprocal. Twitter networks are larger and more diffuse, which is more conducive to fostering novel connections. The author makes suggestions for how academic social networking sites could encourage network building and rethink how academic reputation is measured.

This study explores the effect of changing ecological conditions on female social
organization among free-ranging vervet monkeys (Cholorocebus aethiops pygerythrus)
in the Klein Karoo, South Africa. Comparison was made between a previous study
conducted during a period of drought in 2009, and my own study conducted when
conditions were much wetter and hence, less ecologically stressful. In addition, animals
in the present study also experienced conditions of low demographic stress. Compared
to 2009, females displayed lower rates of competition and aggression, did not compete
for access to grooming partners, and did not preferentially groom those of high rank,
nor did they do so more frequently. Females did, however, preferentially associate
spatially with those they groomed most; a finding in contrast to the previous study.
Females did not groom those of adjacent ranks more frequently, nor was there any
relationship between rank difference and spatial association. In addition, there were
rank differences in vigilance were found between females, and vigilance costs overall
were affected by total group size. Overall, these findings support some aspects of the
socioecological model used to predict group structure in primates, but other aspects of
social organization remain puzzling, and may reflect larger overall group sizes in the
Samara population, which changes patterns of engagement between females in ways
not fully captured by current models.xi, 122 leaves ; 29 cm

Full textAbstract:
In 2003 the Rotary Club of Lethbridge, Alberta proposed a revitalization of Galt Gardens,
a small historic park in Lethbridge‘s downtown which was perceived to be the focus of
particular kinds of “negative use.” Over the course of the revitalization the park changed
significantly – public washrooms and a water feature were installed, and private security
guards were introduced. According to the local newspaper, developments have
transformed the park into an “idyllic scene of children splashing and playing, families
picnicking and people strolling” (Gauthier, 2008). This thesis explores the revitalization
of Galt Gardens through a consideration of various texts and practices that (re)produce,
not only the park, but also the “public” (and “non-public”). My analysis focuses on the
ways in which a revitalized Galt Gardens is discursively represented and materially
practiced to include and exclude particular users and uses, with potential consequences
for the construction of public social space.vii, 168 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the impact that food has on social learning at a school in a Midlands city in the UK that I have chosen to call (for reasons of anonymity) Peartree Academy. The premise of my thesis is that the dining hall of the facility can be utilised as a space for fostering social learning. My research explores what happens when a school organises its dining hall as a restaurant. The school dining hall is a place often neglected in research, and this thesis demonstrates that there is much to be gained for both pupils and staff from interaction in eating spaces. The research questions address the impact of the food environment on social learning. The key focus is to explore the social and life skills that pupils develop through meeting, making choices, modelling behaviours, eating, and talking together in a space in the school known as the ‘restaurant’. This is written as an ethnographic case study and adopts a social constructivist position to frame the theoretical aspects of the research. The study is based on pupils in Years 4 – 11 and uses a qualitative research framework for data collection. The findings emphasise the tensions and challenges between the aims of the school - to create an eating space that promotes social values and encourages the development of social skills - and the activities of teachers and catering assistants, who face the challenge of managing and providing food for a large number of pupils daily. The thesis concludes that, like the traditional classroom, a school dining area also requires conscientious environmental adaptation in order for social learning opportunities to take place.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis defines the discipline of Interior Architecture from an academic perspective, from a professional perspective, and through a series of case studies on various building types. The primary building type, which is studied in this thesis, is the university setting, with specific emphasis placed on the "social spaces" within the university, where people interact and collaboratively engage one another and the environment around them. Interior architecture is explored through a study of numerous design elements and psychological phenomena, including proxemics, control of one's environment, response to technology, location of social spaces, permanence versus flexibility, provision of spatial variety, public versus private realms, and multisensory perceptions of three-dimensional space.Department of Architecture

A pesquisa parte do estudo das ciências sociais, embasando-se na teoria sociológica de Pierre Bourdieu para construí-las teórica e metodologicamente como espaço social acadêmico vinculado ao campo acadêmico, isto é, como lócus de atuação profissional de um conjunto de agentes dotados de concepções, objetivos e interesses comuns, simultaneamente diferenciados dos participantes de outras ciências, e distintos entre si. Seu objetivo é compreender de que maneiras o caráter específico da luta por autoridade científica no espaço social acadêmico das ciências sociais, com suas regras de funcionamento explícitas e incorporadas, configura o caráter das disputas concernentes ao processo recente de institucionalização da obrigatoriedade do ensino de sociologia no Ensino Médio (1997-2008), em especial quanto às relações e representações de Amaury Moraes, Elisabeth Guimarães, Heloísa Martins, Ileizi Silva, Lejeune de Carvalho, Nelson Tomazi e Sueli Mendonça, cientistas sociais pioneiros na defesa desta institucionalização. Para realizar este intuito, construo um histórico da constituição do espaço social acadêmico no Brasil, adotando como recorte temporal o ano de 1964, e a posterior implantação, pelos governos militares, de uma política educacional voltada à institucionalização da pós-graduação e à centralidade das agências de fomento no setor de Ciência e Tecnologia do país, refletindo acerca do impacto destas para a área das ciências sociais e seus integrantes, e da gradual valorização de determinadas formas de fazer científico, e de fazer-se cientista neste espaço social, por elas acarretadas. Em seguida, com base na análise da organização do currículo Lattes, e em dados obtidos nas plataformas virtuais da Capes e do CNPq, esboço a estrutura deste espaço social, indicando os principais instrumentos e estratégias para aquisição de capital científico, e identificando os agentes e instituições dominantes, bem como as posições ocupadas pelos agentes e instituições vinculados ao ensino de sociologia. Realizo um estudo das trajetórias acadêmicas dos sujeitos da pesquisa, analisando o capital simbólico detido por eles no espaço social e sua relação com a defesa do ensino de sociologia, e elaboro, a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas feitas com cada um deles, uma espécie de histórico do processo de institucionalização do qual participaram, enfatizando seu envolvimento e a rede de relações pessoais e institucionais que gradativamente se constituiu, bem como suas concepções acerca de suas ações e das relações atinentes a elas. Analiso as resistências ao ensino de sociologia e as disputas internas ao grupo dedicado à sua implantação e estudo, compreendendo as representações dominantes relativas a este ensino e ao significado de ser cientista social no interior do espaço social acadêmico das ciências sociais.
The research studies social sciences, based on Pierre Bourdieu´s sociological theory, in order to construct them theoretically and methodologically as academical social space bounded to the academical field, that is, as professional acting locus of a group of agents with common conceptions, objectives and interests, simultaneously differentiated from participants from other sciences, and distinct from each other. Its goal is to understand the ways in which the specific character of the contest for scientific authority in the academical social space of social sciences, with its explicit and embedded operating rules, configures the character of disputes concerning the recent process of institutionalization of sociology compulsory education in high school (1997-2008), particularly with regard to relations and representations of Amaury Moraes, Elisabeth Guimarães, Heloísa Martins, Ileizi Silva, Lejeune de Carvalho, Nelson Tomazi e Sueli Mendonça, social scientists pioneers in defense of this institutionalization. To accomplish this intent, I build a history of the constitution of academical social space in Brazil, adopting as a time frame the year of 1964, and the subsequent deployment, by military governments, of an educational policy focused on the institutionalization of postgraduate and on the centrality of funding agencies to the country's science and technology sector, reflecting about the impact of these to the area of social sciences and its members, and to the gradual appreciation of certain forms of scientific work and of how to make yourself a scientist in this social space, entailed by those practices. After, based on the analysis of curriculum Lattes organization, and of data obtained on virtual platforms of Capes and CNPq, I outline the structure of this social space, indicating the main instruments and strategies for the acquisition of scientific capital, and identifying the dominant agents and institutions, as well as the positions occupied by the agents and institutions involved with the teaching of sociology. I realize a study of academical trajectories of the studied subjects, analyzing the symbolic capital held by them in the social space and its relation with the defense of the teaching sociology, and elaborate, based on semi-structured interviews with each of them, a sort of historical of the process of institutionalization in which they participated, emphasizing their involvement and the network of personal and institutional relationships that gradually constituted, as well as their conceptions about their actions and relationships regards to them. I analyze the resistance to teaching sociology and internal disputes to the group dedicated to its study and implementation, understanding the dominant representations concerning this teaching and the meanings of being a social scientist in the academical social space of the social sciences.

Currently, we attend a reverence of concepts ahead as health, life, youth and body. In we widen amount the ideals concerned to the healthful life, to the quality of life, the longevity and joviality and the extremities of the body represented by the illness, for the virus infection, the physical deficiency and the aging. Of the historical shades of the plague, of the hunger and the war that gagged the defenseless individual and its body, in the current days we increase the search for a full and powerful life, independent of a religious imaginary to predict the epidemic curse, the threat represented for the sick people and the incarnate divine anger in the death; or of medical science presented in the spaces of the technology and the physiology, being left fragile the social and psychological dimensions of the human confined to the patient issue and, finally, the commanded urban health politics in quantitative goals of hygienic cleaning, of the medical techniques and the education citizen. For beyond these instances, emerges in our days a plural, close and biographical agreement well of the body and welfare. On the other hand, an understanding of the healthful life and well-being that more certifies the presence of something the one that clear landmarks amongst normality and the irregularity, the esteem and the destructive vice: it has a projection of healthful life measures without conceptual models of body and health under the doctor-scientific standard occidental. This thematic one will confide in way to the enclosure for spaces to the muscles and fitness exercises and the bars from the city of Natal, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, while comprehensive interchange concerning as the individual comes dealing with the notion the body and health and, mainly, if perceiving inside of its body and its health. Amongst these two spaces of typical leisure of the modern urban phenomenon, the hedonism bodily with its muscles and salience and one another form of hedonism in the fruition of allowed drugs will be across itself in a dialogue about which social s relationships are really in game in an imaginary construction amongst an doctor-aesthetic ideal of health and the social and subjective experience in the option for a healthful life
Vem sendo cada vez mais comum nos depararmos com slogans publicit?rios, diagn?sticos m?dicos ou estrat?gias de pol?ticas governamentais que tentam a(m)parar um significado de sa?de, corpo e juventude na contemporaneidade. Tais tentativas de recortes particularizam uma concep??o de sa?de a partir de interven??es, curas e campanhas educativas que justificariam um tratamento cabal ? quest?o do sujeito, do bem-estar e do cuidado de si. Das sombras hist?ricas da peste, da fome e da guerra que amorda?aram o indiv?duo ao seu corpo indefeso, contemporaneamente potencializamos a busca por uma vida plena e potente, cada vez mais independente de um imagin?rio religioso a predizer a maldi??o epid?mica e a ira divina encarnada na decrepitude e na morte, de uma tecnologia biom?dica enfurnada nas fendas gen?ticas e bioqu?micas a decodificar a subjetividade humana ou das pol?ticas de sa?de p?blica ordenadas em metas quantitativas de higieniza??o, reforma sanit?ria e marketing social. Enfim, para al?m destas e outras inst?ncias, vem emergindo um entendimento mais polif?nico, ?ntimo e biogr?fico do cuidar de si e do sentir-se bem.

Full textAbstract:
The publication proposes a critical reading of the results emerging from the Seminar organised in January 2010 by the Department of Architectural and Design Technology on research tools for the architectural project. The spatial layout of buildings and urban spaces influences behaviour and the relations of the users, and in this displays the social nature of the architectural function in comparison to other spheres of design. Space Syntax (theory, methodology and techniques for the analysis of complex systems) takes this theory as the basis for its research. The seminar, attended by leading academic and professional figures, offered the opportunity for exchange between its own research and the experiences carried forward by the Space Syntax research and consultancy group.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSince the end of the last century, the number of video surveillance cameras installed in public spaces has increasingly grown worldwide. Although the installation of video surveillance should allegedly deter crime and improve the fear of crime and the perception of insecurity, the technology collects a vast number of traces of all the members of a population, regardless of their criminal intentions. In the academic literature, two main theoretical approaches have been formed to comprehend the role of video surveillance in public spaces: surveillance society and security state. Interestingly, both of them find their roots in Foucault’s ideas. The first one, surveillance society, is based on Foucault’s perspective on disciplinary power. The latter, the security state, draws on the notions of apparatus of security and governmentality. This chapter is undertaken with the aim of providing an overview of the key features of the two approaches and their comparison. Furthermore, it discusses the possibility of applying both theories to analyze video surveillance in public spaces as it could offer a deeper understanding of a complex interplay of different logics behind an ever-increasing data collection on members of society.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter explores the emergence and eventual decline of a distinctive kind of planning-oriented human geography in post-war Sweden and the closely related adaptation of Walter Christaller’s central place theory by geographers such as Torsten Hägerstrand and Sven Godlund. The rapidly expanding Swedish welfare state gave rise to a demand for skills and expertise of a kind many geographers were eager to provide, and Christaller’s abstract framework allowed them to position themselves as producers of socially useful knowledge. Eventually, however, several voices raised concerns about how the focus on planning and the dominance of reductive theories such as central place theory constrained the academic development of the discipline. The end of the expansive phase of the welfare state also decreased the demand for the expertise geographers had provided. In essence, the popularity of central place theory was tethered to a particular historical moment, and it only allowed for rather narrow analyses of socio-spatial relations. Nonetheless, the theory played a key role in the transformation of Swedish human geography into a modern social science, insofar as the comparatively novel understanding of space it provided contributed to the development of more complex and philosophical theories and approaches to geography.

Full textAbstract:
The sixth chapter describes the making of a concrete document for a designated time, i.e., the Strategic plan for gradual removal of barriers in 2021–2030, which was created for the Brno City Advisory Board for Accessibility. The authors chose to introduce it via the perspective of a dialogic space that enables to organize the procedure composed from a variety of voices, opinions, and arguments. The heteroglossia metaphor is exemplified by the concept of “carnival” of Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin, when “strangers” speaking in different “voices” are brought together. At the beginning, there were activities by several individuals mostly from NGO and academic environment, who started to integrate and institutionalize accessibility policies. For the latter, political support of established actors was necessary, and thanks to it, the above-mentioned Advisory Board was founded. Therefore, the positions of the bursar and the chair of the board are labeled “victorious voices” in our “carnival”. Subsequently, the semi-structured interviews tried to determine visions, attitudes and priorities of all involved persons, namely “the voices of Advisory board members”. Their strategic plan defined target groups, on whom the accessibility policies would focus (senior citizens, parents with strollers, wheelchair users and people with sight or hearing impairment). At the same time, the “legislative voices” needed to be respected, which were to ensure accessibility for all social groups. The principles of tactical urbanism were used to make space accessible within functional wholes and according to societal needs. The final document was also influenced by the “voices of users” that helped to identify spaces, which should be prioritized. Our “voices of producers” had a dominant influence over the working draft of all three parts of the document (analysis, suggestions, and implementation). What appeared to be of crucial importance, was the definition of individual goals, measures and activities leading to the realization of the vision (processional, realization and educational priorities in the document). The process of creation also allowed “expert voices”, who modelled the final form of the document in meetings and workshops. Last but not least, “voices of approval“ (namely, the city council and municipality) took part in the process that authorized the strategic plan and rounded off more than three years of its complex construction.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. Information practices manifest differently among diverse library users, because space influences the different activities that library users engage in. Lefebvre’s spatial triad theory was used to illustrate how library spaces influence spatial activities and hence affect information behaviour of users. Method. A qualitative, ethnographic study method was applied. Participant observations and interviews with library users were conducted from May to December 2019 within Makerere University. Analysis. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results. Information behaviour appears as the central activity within the library spaces, within those spaces and academic and non-academic behaviour manifest as a result of user engagement within the different spaces. It was thus revealed that different attributes support users’ activities such as reading, discussionsamong users and therefore sharping their space preference. Conclusion. Space is both a physical and social object that has a direct influence on its inhabitants’ spatial activities, perceptions and experiences. The concept that space is socially constructed is empirically supported through the social relations that users create as they engage in different activities. The availability of space attributes such as enclosed spaces, noise levels, lighting and space attachment influence the spatial activities and experience of users in a positive or negative way.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT As a professional and a theoretician of architecture, Patrik Schumacher has become a controversial figure in architecture and ethics discussions lately. After his statements on social housing problems in London (2016), he has been criticised and protested in many stages and even been called a provocateur in a column of The Guardian. However, it was not the first time he brought those criticisms against orthodox values of architecture. In his lectures in AA Graduate School – also in his books and other writings – he had already defined his theoretical perspective regarding ethical discussions of architecture. However, when he started to spread out his opinions on social media platforms, this made those statements more visible and open to fast-track critiques while also staging non-academic reactions to his perspective. This paper aims to argue the ongoing discussions against Schumacher in terms of the ethical concerns of architecture by questioning the fundamental values of the profession (if any). The paper aims neither to agree nor to disagree with his statements but to understand the ethical perceptions and/or goals of architecture from the societal perspective within this particular case. To achieve this aim, the paper firstly analyses the definition of architectural ethics and continues with positioning the Schumacher-based discussions in this theoretical frame. The article mainly focuses on the discussions on the most visited architectural digital media platforms to understand the motive of the societal reactions. Related platforms have been determined with the help of Alexa Analytics, and the first five of them have been evaluated within the scope. In conclusion, this research proposes to offer a new understanding of what could be contemporary ethical paradigms in architecture with the help of a case, social values of architecture versus Patrick Schumacher. Keywords: Patrik Schumacher, ethics, ethical paradigms in architecture, humanitarian architecture, architectural media platforms.

Hicks, Jacqueline. Donor Support for ‘Informal Social Movements’. Institute of Development Studies, April 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2022.085.
Full textAbstract:
“Social movements” are by definition informal or semi-formal, as opposed to the formal structure of a stable association, such as a club, a corporation, or a political party. They are relatively long lasting over a period of weeks, months, or even years rather than flaring up for a few hours or a few days and then disappearing (Smelser et al., 2020). There is a substantial and growing body of work dedicated to social movements, encompassing a wide range of views about how to define them (Smelser et al., 2020). This is complicated by the use of other terms which shade into the idea of “social movements”, such as grass-roots mobilisation/ movements, non-traditional civil society organisations, voluntary organisations, civic space, new civic activism, active citizenship, to name a few. There is also an implied informality to the term “social movements”, so that the research for this rapid review used both “social movement” and “informal social movement”. Thus this rapid review seeks to find out what approaches do donors use to support “informal social movements” in their programming, and what evidence do they base their strategies on. The evidence found during the course of this rapid review was drawn from both the academic literature, and think-tank and donor reports. The academic literature found was extremely large and predominantly drawn from single case studies around the world, with few comparative studies. The literature on donor approaches found from both donors and think tanks was not consistently referenced to research evidence but tended to be based on interviews with experienced staff and recipients.

Full textAbstract:
Increasingly, both industry and academia, in fields ranging from biology and social sciences to computing and engineering, are driven by data (Provost & Fawcett, 2013; Wixom, et al, 2014); and both commercial success and academic impact are dependent on having access to data. Many organizations collecting data lack the expertise required to process it (Hazen, et al, 2014), and, thus, pursue data sharing with researchers who can extract more value from data they own. For example, a biosciences company may benefit from a specific analysis technique a researcher has developed. At the same time, researchers are always on the search for real-world data sets to demonstrate the effectiveness of their methods. Unfortunately, many data sharing attempts fail, for reasons ranging from legal restrictions on how data can be used—to privacy policies, different cultural norms, and technological barriers. In fact, many data sharing partnerships that are vital to addressing pressing societal challenges in cities, health, energy, and the environment are not being pursued due to such obstacles. Addressing these data sharing challenges requires open, supportive dialogue across many sectors, including technology, policy, industry, and academia. Further, there is a crucial need for well-defined agreements that can be shared among key stakeholders, including researchers, technologists, legal representatives, and technology transfer officers. The Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub (NEBDIH) took an important step in this area with the recent "Enabling Seamless Data Sharing in Industry and Academia" workshop, held at Drexel University September 29-30, 2016. The workshop brought together representatives from these critical stakeholder communities to launch a national dialogue on challenges and opportunities in this complex space.

Iffat, Idris. Approaches to Youth Violence in Jordan. Institute of Development Studies, November 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2021.121.
Full textAbstract:
Youth violence, particularly targeting the state as well as engagement in violent extremism, has been a persistent feature in Jordan over the past decade. There are numerous factors driving this: economic, political and social marginalization of young people; a search for purpose (in the case of religious extremism); and ineffective youth policies on the part of the government. Other key forms of marginalization in Jordan are ethnicity, gender and disability. With regard to community security mechanisms, Jordan has made efforts to introduce community policing. These link in with traditional tribal dispute resolution mechanisms, but the impact on youth is unclear. Psychosocial support for youth is important. Interventions will vary depending on needs and context, but sport and education (learning spaces) are especially effective avenues to reach young people. This review drew on a mixture of academic and grey literature. While it found significant literature about youth protests in Jordan (in particular in the early 2010s) and on drivers of youth violence, as well as other forms of marginalization in the country, there was very little on community security mechanisms – whether formal or informal. The review identified several sources of recommendations for psychosocial support programming (for youth), but few evaluations of such interventions specifically targeting youth in other countries. Overall, there are gaps in the evidence base, highlighting the need for further research.

Full textAbstract:
This rapid review updates a previous report (Fraser and Martineau-Searle, 2018) with evidence from 2018 onwards. It finds an evidence base on online gender-based violence (OGBV) covering a wider range of countries than the previous report. Some key findings on the nature and prevalence of OGBV include: The most recent surveys show a prevalence of OGBV ranging from 16% to 58%; Men and boys also experience online abuse in high numbers, but it is less likely to be gender-based; Several studies from different countries identify Facebook as the top location for incidents of OGBV; Higher levels of online harassment and abuse are faced by people with intersecting inequality factors; According to victim-survivors, perpetrators are more likely to be unknown and acting alone, but large numbers are known to the victims. Perpetrators themselves report divergent, multifaceted and often over-lapping motivations for their actions; Analysis of underlying drivers of OGBV highlights an overarching theme of power and control, and heteronormative expectations around gender roles and sexual practice. Many authors recommend that OGBV be understood as part of a continuum of abuse where normalised behaviours, such as sexual harassment in public spaces, shade into behaviours widely recognized as criminal, such as physical assault. The societal impact of OGBV includes: Media freedom is compromised; Democracy being undermined; Economic losses resulting from lost productivity; A ‘climate of unsafety’ prevails. Evidence base: The number of surveys about self-reported experiences with online harassment has increased rapidly. The majority of the research found during the course of this rapid review came from international and domestic non-governmental organisations and think-tanks. Academic research studies were also found, including several literature reviews.

Full textAbstract:
The article talks about the philosophical foundations that characterize the mechanism of internal inducement to action. As an academic, constitutional, and socio-ideological concept, the boundaries of freedom are outlined, which are displayed in the field of modern media space. The term «freedom» is considered as several philosophical concepts that formed the basis of the modern interpretation of this concept. The totality of its meanings is generalized into one that is adapted for the modern system. Parallels are drawn between the interaction of the concept of user freedom with the plane of domestic mass media because despite, the fact that consciousness is knowledge, the incoming information directly affects the individual and collective consciousness. Using the example of the most popular digital platforms, the components of the impact on users and the legal aspect of their implementation are analyzed. When considering the issues of freedom of choice and freedom of action on the Internet, special attention is paid to methods of collecting and processing information, in particular, the limitations and possibilities of digital programs-algorithms of the popular search engine Google. The types of personal information collected by Google about the user are classified and the possible mechanisms of influence on personal choice and access to information on the Internet are characterized. The article analyzes the constitutional guarantees of freedom and the impact of digital technologies on them. Particular attention is paid to ethics, in particular journalistic, which nominally regulates the limits of the humane, permissible, a / moral (unacceptable/acceptable) in the implementation of professional information activities in the media. Thus, the issue of freedom of choice and freedom of action in the plane of domestic mass media is subject to an objective examination of its components, they are analyzed for a proper constitutionally suitable phenomenon, which must be investigated from the point of view of compliance with human rights and freedoms and professional standards within the media.

Shaping the COVID decade: addressing the long-term societal impacts of COVID-19. The British Academy, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5871/bac19stf/9780856726590.001.
Full textAbstract:
In September 2020, the British Academy was asked by the Government Office for Science to produce an independent review to address the question: What are the long-term societal impacts of COVID-19? This short but substantial question led us to a rapid integration of evidence and an extensive consultation process. As history has shown us, the effects of a pandemic are as much social, cultural and economic as they are about medicine and health. Our aim has been to deliver an integrated view across these areas to start understanding the long-term impacts and how we address them. Our evidence review – in our companion report, The COVID decade – concluded that there are nine interconnected areas of long-term societal impact arising from the pandemic which could play out over the coming COVID decade, ranging from the rising importance of local communities, to exacerbated inequalities and a renewed awareness of education and skills in an uncertain economic climate. From those areas of impact we identified a range of policy issues for consideration by actors across society, about how to respond to these social, economic and cultural challenges beyond the immediate short-term crisis. The challenges are interconnected and require a systemic approach – one that also takes account of dimensions such as place (physical and social context, locality), scale (individual, community, regional, national) and time (past, present, future; short, medium and longer term). History indicates that times of upheaval – such as the pandemic – can be opportunities to reshape society, but that this requires vision and for key decisionmakers to work together. We find that in many places there is a need to start afresh, with a more systemic view, and where we should freely consider whether we might organise life differently in the future. In order to consider how to look to the future and shape the COVID decade, we suggest seven strategic goals for policymakers to pursue: build multi-level governance; improve knowledge, data and information linkage and sharing; prioritise digital infrastructure; reimagine urban spaces; create an agile education and training system; strengthen community-led social infrastructure; and promote a shared social purpose. These strategic goals are based on our evidence review and our analysis of the nine areas of long-term societal impact identified. We provide a range of illustrative policy opportunities for consideration in each of these areas in the report that follows.
