SUMMARYObjective — Advocacy in the mental health services field is gaining importance since the traditional role of mental health hospitals is changing, particularly in North America and in Western Europe. This review will define advocacy, its goals and fundamental principles. It will then delineate the skills and strategies needed for any intervention on behalf of a patient or a group of patients. It will also deal with the issues and approaches most frequently raised and used, and finally, with the limits of advocacy. Method — The method used for this review was mainly a recension of the literature concerning advocacy throughout North America and Europe, having in view to see emerging the principal stakes and concerns related to this process. Results — Advocacy has a significant impact patients' awareness of their rights and their capacity to exercise them. It also prevents potential abuse of patients. On the other hand, some patients have an increased opportunity to cease treatment, and this could lead to serious medical consequences. There is also the possibility of retaliation from staff, as a result of being involved with an advocate. The combination of high quality care and effective advocacy is the best guarantee that a mental health patient will get the care he wants and needs with human dignity.

As a psychologist during the current political climate, I felt a sense of responsibility to learn more about social justice issues, and to support my clients in their efforts to try to remain optimistic. My colleague and I launched our podcast in the fall of 2018, and we have been interviewing people who work or volunteer for good causes and putting out episodes joyfully each week since then. As a result, we have learned about many dedicated, caring people and the concerns to which they have dedicated themselves.

Counseling programs across the country are increasingly incorporating social justice advocacy training into their curricula. However, much remains to be learned about the developmental processes by which students develop advocacy skills and apply those skills after they graduate. To address these questions and drive further innovation in the field of advocacy training, we conducted an evaluation of the Community Advocacy Project, a yearlong microlevel advocacy training model that teaches mental health counseling master’s students to use relationship-centered advocacy with individuals in marginalized communities. We interviewed 19 counselors within 2.5 years of their graduation from the project about their experiences of the program and their current advocacy work. Using qualitative description, we developed a model describing processes of Internal Grappling, Building the Advocacy Relationship, and Integrating the Advocate Identity that highlights the importance of a yearlong one-on-one advocacy relationship, intensive reflection and supervision, and community collaboration.

Professionals, families, and individuals with disabilities must work together to advocate for policy and legislation that will improve the lives of those with disabilities. Rural areas have unique issues that make targeted advocacy efforts necessary. While families and parents have a personal interest in advocacy, professionals have ethical principles related to advocacy they must uphold as a member of their field. This article outlines steps to use when working with state and national legislators including (a) knowing the issues, (b) identifying allies, (c) working with others, and (d) sustaining advocacy efforts. Specific tips are provided for individuals making face-to-face visits with legislators to increase chances of positive outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction and Purpose Sport for development (SFD) has emerged as an increasingly prominent field in Europe and beyond. Defined as the intentional use of sport to support social development, the SFD movement focuses on a broad range of goals such as social cohesion, peacebuilding, gender equality and more. To support these goals, organisations within SFD usually focus on bringing diverse individuals together and exploiting sport’s interactive nature to foster experiential learning (Moustakas, 2024). This approach has however often been criticized as it tends to focus too strongly on the individual level, and therefore fails to account for or challenge socio-political realities that influence participant outcomes. In turn this means that SFD programmes risk generating limited, unsustainable outcomes as they seek to achieve broad gauge outcomes through limited focus programmes (Coalter, 2010). To address this, a growing number of scholars have suggested that SFD organisations must become involved in policy advocacy (Sanders, 2016). Understood as support of a particular policy or class of policies, policy advocacy allows SFD organisations to advocate for issues of relevance to participants and communities. Through this, programmes can influence the broader socio-political environment, or at least foster alignment between programme goals and this environment, which in turn can help support the sustainable, long-term impact of their programmes. Against this background, this study seeks to map out current practice, challenges and needs related to policy advocacy in the SFD sector. Method A survey was developed the consortium associated with the Erasmus+ project Policy Advocacy for Sport and Society (PASS). The goal of this survey was to understand how SFD organisations engage in policy advocacy, how they view relationships with policymakers, and what kind of resources they would like to support future policy advocacy activities. The survey was collaboratively designed by the consortium, and questions mapping policy advocacy activities were based on the conceptual framework from Gen and Wright (2013). The survey was distributed via a purposive sampling approach, whereby SFD organisations associated with professional networks in the field were targeted via e-mail and social media. Afterwards, given the primarily mapping function of the survey, results were descriptively analysed and graphically portrayed. Results Preliminary analysis shows that most SFD organisations engage with policymakers, especially at the municipal level (ca. 65%) or within national sport organisations (ca. 60%). Awareness raising activities or campaigns are the most common advocacy activities (ca. 70%), along with networking with policymakers (ca. 40%). However, relationships remain strained, with around 10-35% of organisations reporting difficult relationships with different policy stakeholders. Lack of resources (ca. 70%) and expertise (ca. 55%) are seen as the main obstacles to further advocacy, and organisations report that they would benefit from examples, templates, strategies, and learning offers. Discussion and Conclusion These results show reasonably widespread policy advocacy activities in the field, but activities remain limited to various forms of awareness raising or campaigning. Likewise, relationships with decision-makers often remain strained. This suggests that further work could unearth the complexities of these relationships, while applied projects could support by developing tools and learning materials. References Coalter, F. (2010).

This study explored an advocacy of Muslim majority on Hindu Minority in Sidoarjo. The Muslim majority group maintained and protected the Hindu minority group in Krembung community. The Hindu group has very little adherents but they could grow to have a house of worship with a large land area in the East Java region. Most followers came from outside the area. This phenomenon looked unique since the Hindu people living in the temple area are very few and even dominated by immigrants from Bali. There was only one original family and the local indigenous population. The rest were immigrants and followers who came from outside the area. This study attempted to explain the forms of advocacy occurring in the area and factors encouraged the majority to advocate the minority. The analysis method uses advocacy and pro-social theory approaches. To enrich data collection, this study uses field studies which are also accompanied by interviews, observations and documentation. The study revealed that there were some forms of advocacy carried out by Muslim majority on Hindu minority in the form of mutual protection in various fields, including economic, social and the existence of each group. The birth of awareness to build advocacy through various activities was described.

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses the creation of a new philosophical model of librarian-patron interaction. Directly influenced by the classical Indian text The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali, the authors have created the Triadic Model of Holistic Advocacy, which is supported by three yogic concepts: yoga (union), karuṇā (compassion), and āsana (pose). At its core, holistic advocacy encompasses both a philosophy and praxis of librarianship that is predicated on the belief that librarianship is fundamentally about service to others. Holistic advocacy requires a consistent, empathetic approach to librarian-patron interactions that is ultimately reflected in the quality of services rendered. The authors argue that engaging in holistic advocacy empowers library professionals to better advocate for patrons, specific libraries, and librarianship as a field. Embedding this ethos will help ensure that advocacy happens frequently and organically. Furthermore, holistic advocacy is a mindset that will help foster the growth of a more critically-thinking, compassionate society. The blending of eastern philosophical concepts (as outlined in the The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali) and western practices of LIS has not yet been discussed in the literature. The authors hope this discussion will encourage others to consider how eastern philosophy impacts western library practices.

Full textAbstract:
The study emphasizes the necessity of investigating the special education advocate process, especially in light of academic and growth results for children. It adds that many parents need advocates to get special education services for their disabled kids, but this field is yet mostly untapped. By interviewing parent-advocate pairs, the research's goal is to examine the special education advocacy procedure. The study used qualitative methods of study, specifically interviewing nine “parent-advocate “pairs. These pairs were chosen to offer a variety of points of view and knowledge about the advocacy for SE. In-depth information about the advocating process, the reactions of schools, and the perceived impact on child and family success were to be gathered through the interviews. The data from the interviews were analysed using thematic analysis to find common trends and themes. The study's conclusions showed that family and “advocates” shared a common understanding of the SE advocating system. Participants stated the participation of an “advocate” was generally welcomed by schools. It was also observed that some schools acted combatively and showed astonishment at the appearance of an “advocate”. Parents and “advocates” agreed that advocacy had a beneficial impact on children and families' results, despite differing opinions from schools. The summary did not precisely state how advocacy specifically affected these results. The study emphasizes the significance of the SE advocating method and its alleged favourable effects on success for children and families. The results show that although there have been instances of hostile responses, schools frequently react favourably to “advocates”. However, both “advocates” and children thought that advocacy had positive results. These findings highlight the need for additional study and the consequences for policy and practice. The consequences are probably expanded upon in the following section, but the overview does not include the specifics.

Primary Health Care (PHC) is the backbone of health systems and a cornerstone of Universal Health Coverage. In 2018, political commitment to PHC, including a comprehensive approach based on essential care throughout the lifespan, integrated public health functions, and community empowerment was reaffirmed by international stakeholders in Astana. As recent events exposed weaknesses of health care systems worldwide, growing attention has been paid to strengthening PHC. While the role of care providers as health advocates has been recognized, they may lack skills, opportunities, and resources to actively engage in advocacy. Particularly for PHC providers, guidance and tools on how to advocate to strengthen PHC are scarce. In this article, we review priority policy areas for PHC strengthening with relevance for several settings and health care systems and propose approaches to empower PHC providers—physician, non-physician, or informal PHC providers—to advocate for strengthening PHC in their countries by individual or collective action. We provide initial ideas for a stepwise advocacy strategy and recommendations for practical advocacy activities. Our aim is to initiate further discussion on how to strengthen health care provider driven advocacy for PHC and to encourage advocates in the field to reflect on their opportunities for local, national, and global action.

Full textAbstract:
The environment is increasingly seen as a meta-injustice or master frame of the politics of the new century. If this is indeed the case, environmental concerns should transcend national and organizational boundaries and should have a discursive claims-making space of their own. Research on environmental advocacy, however, shows that many claims for environmental justice are rooted in specific locales and advocacy is often mediated through, and at times overshadowed by, other dimensions of power. Using Nancy Fraser’s conception of dimensions of justice, and a Bourdieusian inspired field approach, this paper maps Greenpeace and Sierra Club’s press advocacy between 2006 and 2010. In doing so, the paper identifies environmental advocacy spaces and argues that non-parametric approaches to analysing ENGO media advocacy are needed to explain the complexity of multi-scaled political contexts.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that both the processes and outcomes of advocacy can be evaluated in ways that can help with learning and accountability. The paper reviews the literature on evaluating advocacy, with a particular focus on development work, and describes an example of the systematic evaluation of the Business Environment Strengthening in Tanzania-Advocacy Component business advocacy programme in Tanzania. Design/methodology/approach – The evaluation uses a Scientific Realist methodology to give a disaggregated, contextual analysis of advocacy, asking the typically Scientific Realist question: “What works for whom in what circumstances?” Complementary methods are being applied longitudinally over a five-year period and include stakeholder interviews, business surveys, diagnostic tools and learning seminars. Findings – The paper argues that advocacy evaluation is no more complex or difficult than other aspects of development. Rigorous, cost-effective methods can be developed, so long as clear conceptualisation is carried out as an initial step. Systematic analysis of influencing tactics and capacity building demonstrates the relative skill of the advocacy organisations and allows the funder to see intermediate indicators of progress which are otherwise invisible. Practical implications – Consistent conceptualisation and measurement allow comparison over time, and between different types of projects and organisations. Integrating methods with the operation of campaigns or programmes allows the evaluator to give feedback in real time and minimise the burden on evaluands. Originality/value – The paper is based on original research/evaluation. The field is heavily concentrated on social change. The paper makes a contribution by providing an example of advocacy evaluation in the field of business advocacy and economic development. In addition, the example extends the field of advocacy evaluation by considering the systematic evaluation of a whole programme of individual advocacy projects.

This study examines the factors that can be associated with social justice advocacy in the field of sport and explains why the activists get involved in the social justice advocacy. The authors implemented a phenomenological research approach, interviewing 12 active social justice activists. In drawing from Moeschberger et al.’s model for awareness and engagement, the authors suggest a congruent definition of social justice advocacy, explain how the participants learned about social injustice ( direct experience, indirect experience, and indirect contact), identify three major themes ( increased awareness, atypical experience, and emotional response) for the involvement in social justice advocacy, and describe what activities the participants get engaged in ( raising awareness and changing attitude, engaging in activity, and encouraging others). The results of this study provide more in-depth understanding of social justice advocacy in the field of sport.

This review assesses the capabilities of the technology of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) as tools for increasing the presence of archaeology in our digital society. Instead of focusing on the academic value of the content of these courses, I explore their usefulness as promoters of rigorous archaeological practices and ethics, as well as the protection and preservation of cultural heritage. After enrolling as a student in six MOOCs, I have analyzed whether these courses successfully provided students with an informed and critical understanding of the field, as well as creating networks of advocates that can share this knowledge across their communities.

Full textAbstract:
In the article, the author investigated confidentiality as a principle of the organization and activity of the advocacy. The difference between confidentiality and attorney-client privilege was analyzed.
The author concludes that confidentiality as a principle of the advocacy is a set of legal prescriptions that determine the mechanism for observing attorney-client privilege, protecting personal data and other types of information with limited access in the process of practicing law, as well as qualification, disciplinary and other types of proceedings in the system of advocate's self-government. Attention is drawn to the fact that, unlike many other principles of the advocacy, the principle of confidentiality applies to a wider range of subjects, including not only advocates, but also assistant advocates and interns of advocates, persons who have an employment relationship with a advocate, as well as persons in respect of whom the right to practice law has been terminated or suspended. Arguments were given in favor of applying the concept of limited protection of attorney-client privilege in Ukraine.
The author justified the need to supplement article 22 of the Law of Ukraine “On advocacy and advocate's activity" with part eight of the following content: "An advocate does not bear disciplinary, administrative, civil and criminal responsibility for providing the central executive body implementing state policy in the field of crime prevention and counteraction with information that constitutes attorney-client privilege, in order to prevent the commission of a serious or particularly serious crime against the life and health of an individual”.

In this article, we discuss the role of formal advocacy education with high-effort advocacy activities among pediatricians. We discuss the historical role of advocacy in the field of pediatrics and the changing role of advocacy education in pediatric training programs. We describe our survey of pediatricians in New York, in which we asked about a history of formal child health advocacy education, current high- and low-effort advocacy activities, perceived barriers to advocacy work, and child health advocacy issues of interest. Our findings demonstrate an association between a history of formal child health advocacy education and recent participation in high-effort advocacy activities on behalf of children’s health. We also found that practicing pediatricians were more likely to participate in high-effort advocacy work than individuals still in pediatric residency training. Our findings imply that education in child health advocacy should be considered an important part of pediatric training. Advocacy education should not only be included in residency and fellowship training programs but also made available as part of continuing medical education for pediatricians. Time for professional advocacy work should be allotted and encouraged.

Since the end of the last century, the wide spread of digital technologies has had an important impact on the development of many fields. Technological innovations, like in other professional fields, are increasing their impact on the field of advocacy day by day. Some legal technologies reduce lawyers' bureaucratic burdens and perform repetitive tasks, while others help citizens or companies solve simple legal problems without the need for a lawyer. This article examines the concept of Legal Tech, the areas of use of legal technologies, their categories and their application in the field of advocacy, and highlights how lawyers can provide more efficient and better quality legal assistance by using legal technologies in the performance of their profession. The article also touched upon the issues of using artificial intelligence in the legal profession, the practice of applying legal technologies in foreign countries and the level of development of these technologies in our country. Thus, the extensive use of legal technologies by a number of advanced countries of the world, especially the application of technologies based on artificial intelligence in international and national legal systems, has made an important contribution to the development of this field. Keywords: legal technologies, lawyer, electronic advocacy, artificial intelligence, e-government, e-court, e-discovery, technological applications, data security.

Full textAbstract:
38 Background: Financial advocacy interventions help patients, and their families address financial hardship experienced through the cancer journey. However, how financial services are offered to patients varies greatly. Across the field of financial advocacy there is a lack of standardization of services, which is needed to accurately evaluate the impact of oncology financial advocacy. The Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC) Financial Advocacy Network (FAN) set out to revamp the Financial Advocacy Services Guidelines originally published in 2018, with the goal of providing cancer programs direction in implementing and improving financial advocacy services offered to patients with cancer. Methods: ACCC convened a task force of 7 multidisciplinary financial advocacy experts to guide the process of creating consensus-based financial advocacy services guidelines. The task force assembled a panel of 49 diverse oncology financial advocacy experts. A literature review and input from panelists was used to draft a list of guideline statements. Panelists went through 2 rounds of anonymous voting to inform revisions to the guideline statements. Consensus for the guideline statements was set at 75% agreement. The statements were rated as should not be a guideline, minimum guideline, or enhanced guideline. Cancer program staff completed a questionnaire upon downloading the guidelines. Results: After completion of the 2 rounds, the panel reached consensus that 43 statements should be guidelines. The guidelines are split into three main domains: financial advocacy services & functions; program management functions; and partner engagement functions. The updated Guidelines, which provide cancer organizations with the foundation to implement services to help reduce financial burdens of care, were published in March 2023 and are publicly available. From March 2023 until June 2023, it was downloaded by 93 cancer program staff members, of which 74% stated they will use it to assist in the development, implementation, and/or enhancement of a formal advocacy program at their organization and 58% responded that they have a financial advocacy program already implemented or have a financial advocate on staff. Conclusions: As financial advocacy grows more complex, interventions for patients with cancer are vital. The Guidelines provide expert-developed and consensus-based methods to assist cancer organizations with implementing financial intervention services. Importantly, the newly published guidelines will aid in closing existing gaps in delivery of oncology financial services as 48% of respondents stated they do not have a financial advocacy program or staff member. Further it will promote broader collaboration among partners to aid with assessment tools, creating valid measures and rigorous evaluation of the guidelines to improve cancer patients’ experience and reduce financial barriers to care.

Full textAbstract:
Over the years, the field of forensic anthropology has become more diverse, bringing unique perspectives to a previously homogeneous field. This diversification has been accompanied by recognizing the need for advocacy and activism in an effort to support the communities we serve: marginalized communities that are often overrepresented in the forensic population. As such, forensic anthropologists see the downstream effects of colonialism, white supremacy, inequitable policies, racism, poverty, homophobia, transphobia, gun violence, and misogyny. Some argue that advocacy and activism have no place in forensic anthropological praxis. The counterarguments for engaging in advocacy and activism uphold white, heterosexual, cisgender, and ableist privilege by arguing that perceived objectivity and unbiased perspectives are more important than personally biasing experiences and positionality that supposedly jeopardize the science and expert testimony. Advocacy and activism, however, are not new to the practice of anthropology. Whether through sociocultural anthropology, archaeology, or other areas of biological anthropology, activism and advocacy play an important role, using both the scientific method and community engagement. Using a North American approach, we detail the scope of the issues, address how advocacy and activism are perceived in the wider discipline of anthropology, and define ways in which advocacy and activism can be utilized more broadly in the areas of casework, research, and education.

Using questionnaires, data were collected from 206 participants who were recruited from one mental health institute, one general hospital, and one university in S city. Data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient using SPSS/WIN 22. Results: The mean age was $33.8{pm}12.89$. The mean scores of human rights sensitivity, advocacy attitudes, and advocacy intervention was $37.7{pm}18.09$, $53.7{pm}5.67$, and $47.4{pm}7.08$, respectively. Human rights sensitivity correlated significantly with advocacy attitudes (r=.25, p=.020) and advocacy intervention (r=.17, p=.015). Also, there was a significant positive correlation between advocacy attitudes and advocacy intervention (r=.44, p<.001). Conclusion: These findings highlight that advocacy attitudes and advocacy interventions for mentally disabled people could be improved by increasing human rights sensitivity. Tailored education programs will be effective in the field of mental health care services to increase human rights sensitivity.

Abstract Objective The current pandemic shed a necessary light on chronic systemic inequities. Despite awareness of the importance of diversity, equity, social justice, and advocacy, actionable change has been slow. The field of neuropsychology and psychology were founded on principles of universal rights for all humans, yet it has largely neglected social justice activities. Social justice and advocacy efforts are not universally embedded in education/training curriculums, nor in licensure requirements. If the field is pledging to move towards equity, systemic change is required. We offer practical considerations on how advocacy can lead neuropsychologists toward equity and social justice. Data Selection A review of the literature on racism, social justice, and health/mental health disparities, was conducted in the fields of neuropsychology, clinical psychology, counseling psychology, medicine, and public health, to form a systems-based approach to advocacy with actionable steps that can be taken by all. Tenents of critical consciousness, transformative learning, transformative justice and socially responsible neuropsychology emerged. Data Synthesis We utilize an ecological systems framework (microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem levels) to provide a graded, developmental approach for transitioning to a social change agent. Recommendations are offered to provide guidance on addressing inequities at multiple levels in an effort to uphold human rights and protection of all. Conclusion Neuropsychology has the opportunity to blaze a new trail that can effectively protect, include, and nurture all of its constituents equitably rather than equally. Transforming our field is possible through stepping into action by equipping our trainees and professionals with the tools to become agents of social change.

AbstractUsing the quasi-experimental setting of the Michael Vick dogfighting case, the researchers employed rich interview content to explore the question, “When a critical event occurs in the animal advocacy field, what motivates advocacy groups to respond?” The investigation reveals that what was thought to be one critical event was in actualitythreeunique yet interrelated critical events—(1) the revelation of the transgressions; (2) the punishment of the perpetrator; and (3) the decision about whether to ally with the perpetrator in advocacy. The study shows that legitimacy concerns, occasionally paired with reflections on organizational identity, influenced the decision-making of advocacy organizations across all three critical events, as each held the potential either to legitimize or to delegitimize the advocacy organizations and/or the perpetrator (i.e., Vick).

Full textAbstract:
The Pancasila Ideology Development Agency or BPIP was formed due to the urgency of creating a state apparatus that functions to maintain the application of Pancasila values in the life of the nation and state. BPIP also acts to formulate an outline of the Pancasila ideology, coordinate, synchronize, advocate, monitor, evaluate, recommend, develop and control strategic policies and regulations for development. Of the many tasks and functions of BPIP, this article discusses one of the functions, namely regulatory oversight. This regulatory oversight function aims to monitor, evaluate, and harmonize regional and central regulations. They are in line with Pancasila's values inclusive, democratic, and socially just. Regulatory oversight is carried out by the Deputy for Legal Affairs, Advocacy, and Regulatory Oversight. The strategic aspect of the Deputy for Law, Advocacy and Regulatory Oversight, in this case, is the implementation of an effective and efficient program in implementing Pancasila Ideology Development through the internalization and institutionalization of Pancasila in the field of law, advocacy, and regulatory oversight. Based on the research, the contribution of this deputy is the availability of the Pancasila values indicator design, the implementation of quality analysis and synchronization, the performance of advocacy for the development of the Pancasila ideology, and the implementation of the effective internalization and institutionalization of Pancasila. Through this deputy, BPIP is then expected to make a positive contribution to increasing the harmonization of regulations on Pancasila to realize social inclusion, institutionalizing Pancasila, and mainstreaming the ideals of Pancasila.

Background/Context New teachers face an array of challenges in today's schools. Even when teachers leave credential programs with useful preparation, early-career jobs and contexts shape and constrain teachers’ goals and practice related to teaching diverse learners. Becoming change agents can be a tall order. Purpose/Objective/Research Question/Focus of Study Considering this context, we sought to understand how graduates of one teacher credential program appear prepared to advocate for educational equity in their new jobs by asking three questions: (1) What challenges do new teachers identify in classes and schools that require advocacy for some youth? (2) In what ways do they respond to such challenges? and (3) What enables these acts of advocacy? Research Design A total of 38 graduates, all currently teaching, participated in five separate 3-hour focus groups of 5–10 teachers each. We used focus groups as a research tool to triangulate a range of other data, including artifacts and surveys. We sought teachers’ deep reflections on practice, on their preparation for advocacy work, and on their professional needs. We transcribed focus group discussions then subjected these to a series of procedures, including analysis of content and themes of teachers’ narratives. Findings/Results Teachers reported actions to address equity in a range of sites, with the classroom as the core site for teachers’ advocacy work. In complex narratives, teachers reported trying to meet learning needs of diverse students. English language learners’ needs especially prompted acts of advocacy in and beyond the classroom. These included instructional tailoring, out-of-class tutorials, hunts for better texts and tests, a library field trip, creation of a culture/computer club, heightened parent contacts, and launching of a bilingual parent group. Teachers’ acts of advocacy shared four crosscutting themes: a goal of equitable access to resources and support, convictions about equity, interceding on behalf of students in need, and engaging coadvocates. Teachers reported that these themes have grounding in their teacher credential program, which featured advocating for equity in its mission, goals, and practices. Those with bilingual education credentials engaged in more acts of advocacy beyond the classroom, and analyses suggest that this may be due to credential program experiences, life experiences, and the larger sociopolitical context for teaching English language learners. Conclusions/Recommendations Results challenge conventional models of learning to teach, documenting how teachers, even in the throes of the induction period, can focus on student learning and on ways to advocate in and beyond the classroom for those in need of someone interceding on their behalf, particularly when well prepared to do so.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: The general aim of the study was to determine how the implementation of employee advocacy programs influences the effectiveness of employee advocacy programs in the context of public relations.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to employee advocacy programs in public relations. Preliminary empirical review revealed that that these initiatives played a significant role in shaping organizational culture, enhancing brand perception, and fostering stakeholder relationships. Through a comprehensive review of empirical research, it was found that employee advocacy positively influenced employee engagement, organizational reputation, consumer trust, and crisis management. Factors such as leadership support, clear communication, organizational culture, and employee training were identified as critical drivers of program success. Additionally, research highlighted the impact of advocacy programs on consumer trust and purchase intentions, emphasizing their strategic value in building brand credibility and loyalty. Future research is encouraged to explore emerging trends and best practices in employee advocacy.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Social Identity, Social Exchange and Social Learning theories may be used to anchor future studies on employee advocacy programs in public relations. The study provided valuable recommendations that contributed to theory, practice, and policy in the field. It suggested further exploration of theoretical frameworks such as Social Identity Theory and Social Exchange Theory to better understand employee advocacy dynamics. Practitioners were advised to prioritize leadership support, authenticity, and transparency in advocacy efforts while investing in training and development programs for employees. Additionally, the study recommended the development of clear policies and metrics to guide and evaluate advocacy initiatives. Emphasis was placed on fostering a supportive organizational culture, promoting collaboration, and cross-functional integration to maximize the impact of employee advocacy programs.

Full textAbstract:
The article reveals the problems of conceptualization and institutionalization of the self-government of lawyers in the context of judicial reform in Ukraine, and suggests directions for reforming its organizational and functional foundations. The principles of institutional development of bar self-government are outlined: the unity of bar associations operating within the state; organization of activities based on partnership with state authorities; improvement of the institute of advocacy on the basis of international principles and standards both in the field of providing legal aid and in the field of advocacy; positioning the bar as a self-governing independent organization that is subordinated to the interests/requests not of the state apparatus, but of society (civil society), aimed at ensuring the provisions of Art. 59 and 131-2 of the Basic Law, namely on the provision of professional legal assistance. It was noted that activation and involvement of the legal profession in the process of forming a strategy for the development of the legal community is one of the defining tasks of the legal self-government bodies. This can be done by making relevant decisions by these bodies at the most transparent and public level. Five main priorities for reforming the institution of advocate self-governance have been identified: first, strengthening the professional rights of advocates and guarantees of advocacy; secondly, improvement of the criteria and procedures for access to the profession of a lawyer; thirdly, improvement of the institution of lawyer disciplinary responsibility; fourthly, improvement of self-governance of lawyers; fifth, ensuring transparent budgetary and financial procedures in the self-governing bodies of lawyers.

Full textAbstract:
In spite of the great tradition in social movement studies, Italy completely lacks any contribution regarding animal advocacy from the point of view of political sociology. This is despite the fact that, as in the rest of Western societies, interest in the wellbeing, rights and status of non-human animals is growing. This can be seen both among the general population and in the very varied organised forms of welfare and activism. In this article, we will investigate this internal differentiation, starting from an initial stratification in welfare, protectionism and anti-speciesism, and focusing in particular on the following two aspects: ethical values; and political ‘careers’ and multi-membership affiliations. The investigation was accomplished by means of 20 semi-structured interviews and an online questionnaire answered by 704 volunteers and activists. The tripartition hypothesised was confirmed, although with a few exceptions: more progressive values emerged among anti-speciesists, and conservative positions among protectionists and welfarists, but the overall spectrum is characterised by utilitarian perspectives. Similarly, previous experience in the specific field of animal advocacy is typical of the protectionist area, while anti-speciesists also come from other opposition movements.

The rule of law operates in accordance with the law, focusing on the equality of citizens before the law and the prohibition of the arbitrary power of the executive (Government). Justice reform is a mechanism that made it possible for citizens to increase their trust in justice. Justice reform was a mechanism that we had not heard before and it is important in this paper to mention the causes and consequences of justice reform by balancing them to understand its positive and negative sides. Judicial reform has mostly affected judges and prosecutors, but also lawyers in court cases as well and the public had an important role to denounce any judge or prosecutor who had given court decisions in violation of the law but also cases of corruption of judges or prosecutors. In this paper it is very important to address two very important principles sanctioned by the European Convention on Human Rights. the second is a trial within a reasonable time by analyzing court decisions and the importance of respecting deadlines by the courts for a speedy and effective justice. A new innovation taken from the countries of the European Union was the new court map that does not brought a few debates in our country and how the new court map will affect the economy of Albanians given that Albania is a developing country.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to map the field of sociological animal studies through some examples of critical and mainstream approaches and considers their relation to advocacy. It makes the argument that while all these initiatives have made important contributions to the project of “animalising sociology” and suggest a need for change in species relations, the link between analysis and political strategy is uncertain. Design/methodology/approach – The paper develops its argument by using secondary sources, reviewing sociological positions and offering illustrations of possible interventions. Findings – Sociological interventions in the field of animal studies have been informed by critical perspectives, such as feminism and Marxism, or taken less critical routes deploying actor-network theory and symbolic interactionism. Whilst those working in critical traditions may appear to have a more certain political agenda, an analysis of “how things are” does not always lead to a clear position on “what is to be done” in terms of social movement agendas or policy intervention. In addition, concepts deployed in advocacy such as “liberation”, “quality of life” or “care” are problematic when applied beyond the human. Despite this, there are possibilities for coalition and solidarity around certain claims for change. Research limitations/implications – If the central argument of the paper were taken seriously by general sociologists, then sociology may be more open to “animal studies”. In implications for exisitng sociological animal studies scholarship is to trouble some of the certainties around advocacy. Practical implications – If the central argument of the paper were taken seriously by advocacy groups, then the hiatus between “welfarism” and “liberation” might be overcome. Originality/value – There have been recent attempts to map the field of scholarship in animal studies, but surprisingly little consideration of how different emergent positions inform questions of advocacy and the possibilities for political intervention.

Full textAbstract:
Green advocacy has been the focus of both practitioners and theorists for decades. However, little attention has been paid to employee green advocacy despite its significance to employee green behaviors and the environmental sustainability of organizations. In an effort to contribute to this nascent field, this study investigates what promotes employee green advocacy and its psychological mechanisms. Based on cognitive consistency theory, we propose that green human resource management (GHRM) can influence employees’ organization-based self-esteem, which motivates them to engage in employee green advocacy to sustain their positive self-image and avoid possible cognitive disorders. Perceived organizational support moderates the relationship between GHRM and employee organization-based self-esteem. Data from a sample of 135 employees and their chief human resource officer (CHO) supported our hypotheses. We discussed the theoretical and practical implications of our findings.
