Abstract:
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are one of the leading causes of occupational injuries and disabilities. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of MSDs and occupational factors affecting MSDs among ethnic lychee–longan harvesting workers in northern Thailand. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the areas of three upper northern provinces of Thailand. The study areas are located in the highlands and rural plains, where many ethnic minority groups live, including Indigenous, Mien, Karen, and Lua. The majority of them work in a farm of perennial fruit trees, mainly lychee and longan. During the harvest season, 404 participants were recruited for the study using the convenience sampling technique. Data were collected using questionnaires that included general information, an ergonomic risk assessment, and a standardized Nordic questionnaire for assessing MSDs in 10 body parts. The average age of lychee–longan harvesting workers was 48.8 years. Almost all (99.5%) reported MSDs in one or more body regions in the previous seven days of work. The prevalence of MSDs was highest in the hands (82.9%), followed by the shoulders (82.2%) and the neck (79.7%). The total ergonomic risk scores, which included awkward posture, heavy carrying and lifting, repetitive activity, land slope, and equipment, were found to be significantly associated with MSDs in part of the neck (AOR = 1.17, 95%CI = 1.11–1.23), shoulder (AOR = 1.15, 95%CI = 1.10–1.21), elbow (AOR = 1.18, 95%CI = 1.12–1.24), hand (AOR = 1.12, 95%CI = 1.07–1.18), finger (AOR = 1.33, 95%CI = 1.24–1.44), upper back (AOR = 1.14, 95%CI = 1.09–1.20), lower back (AOR = 1.16, 95%CI = 1.11–1.22), hip (AOR = 1.11, 95%CI = 1.06–1.15), knee (AOR = 1.18, 95%CI = 1.12–1.24), and feet (AOR = 1.21, 95%CI = 1.15–1.28) when adjusting for ethnicity, sex, age, BMI, and work experience. Many parts of ethnic workers’ bodies have been affected by occupational injuries, with a high risk of upper extremity injury. As a result, using an ergonomic approach to improving the working environment and appropriate posture movement is very beneficial in preventing MSDs among ethnic harvesting workers.

Abstract:
AbstractPolitical science research has repeatedly identified a strong correlation between high socio-economic status and political participation, but this finding has not been as robust for racial and ethnic minorities. As a response, the literature on minority political participation has produced a series of different models for different groups by adding group-specific variables to the standard SES model. In assigning a single model per group, however, the literature tends to overlook intra-group differences as well as inter-group commonalities, thereby effectively reifying the concept of race and ethnicity. Using survey data from Los Angeles, this article develops a different approach aimed at detecting intra-group differences as well as inter-group commonalities through a recognition of political “styles.” First, using latent class analysis (LCA), I identify a set of recurring configurations of individual dispositions (education, political knowledge…) and political acts (voting, protest…) that define different political styles. Then I examine the distribution of these political styles across racial and ethnic groups. The results reveal three novel findings that were invisible in the previous studies: 1) all groups feature a considerable degree of intra-group difference in political styles; 2) each group retains other political styles that cannot be captured by a single model; and 3) there are commonalities of political styles that cut across racial and ethnic boundaries. Overall, this article presents a model for quantitative analysis of race and ethnicity that simultaneously captures intra-group differences and inter-group commonalities.

Abstract:
Background:To determine if there are differences in time spent in physical activity and sedentary behavior between rural African American and Caucasian children.Methods:Children wore accelerometers for 3 weekdays. The students were randomly selected from a larger sample of children participating in a weight gain prevention intervention. Usable data were obtained from 272 of the 310 students who agreed to participate. The outcome data included counts per minute (CPM), time spent in moderate to vigorous (MVPA), light (LPA), and sedentary (SED) activity. The equation and cutoff used to analyze national accelerometry data were used for the current study.Results:The sample had an average age of 10.4 (1.1) years and 76% were African American. Lower SES African Americans had more CPM (P = .012) and spent more time in MVPA (P = .008) compared with middle SES African American and lower SES Caucasian children. Lower SES African American children also spent fewer minutes in SED activity (P = .044) compared with middle SES African American children.Conclusions:These findings support recent results that also used objective activity measures. Children appeared less active and more sedentary than a national sample, warranting interventions in minority and rural populations.

Abstract:
With the improvement of living standards, more and more people are pursuing personalized routes. This paper uses personalized mining of interest points of ethnic minority tourism demand groups, extracts customer data features in social networks, and constructs data features of interesting topic factors, geographic location factors, and user access frequency factors, using LDA topic models and matrix decomposition models to perform feature vectorization processing on user sign-in records and build deep learning recommendation model (DLM). Using this model to compare with the traditional recommendation model and the recommendation model of a single data feature module, the experimental results show the following: (1) The fitting error of DLM recommendation results is significantly reduced, and its recommendation accuracy rate is 50% higher than that of traditional recommendation algorithms. The experimental results show that the DLM constructed in this paper has good learning and training performance, and the recommendation effect is good. (2) In this method, the performance of the DLM is significantly higher than other POI recommendation methods in terms of the accuracy or recall rate of the recommendation algorithm. Among them, the accuracy rates of the top five, top ten, and top twenty recommended POIs are increased by 9.9%, 7.4%, and 7%, respectively, and the recall rate is increased by 4.2%, 7.5%, and 14.4%, respectively.

Abstract:
By the spring of 2021, most of the adult U.S. population became eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Yet, by the summer of 2021, the vaccination rate stagnated. Given the immense impact COVID-19 has had on society and individuals, and the surge of new variant strains of the virus, it remains urgent to better understand barriers to vaccination, including the impact of variations in trusted sources of COVID-19 information. The goal of the present study was to conduct a cross-sectional, community-engaged, and person-centered study of trusted sources of COVID-19 information using latent profile analysis (LPA). The aims were to (1) identify the number and nature of profiles of trusted sources of COVID-19 information, and (2) determine whether the trust profiles were predictive of COVID-19 vaccination attitudes and various demographic categories. Participants included mostly racial and ethnic minority individuals (82.4%) recruited by various community-based agencies in South Florida. The LPA evidenced an optimal 3-class solution characterized by low (n = 80)-, medium (n = 147)-, and high (n = 52)-trust profiles, with high trust statistically significantly predictive of vaccination willingness. The profiles identified could be important targets for public health dissemination efforts to reduce vaccine hesitancy and increase COVID-19 vaccination uptake. The general level of trust in COVID-19 information sources was found to be an important factor in predicting COVID-19 vaccination willingness.

Abstract:
BackgroundEthnic minority (EM) patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) have more severe disease, more disability, and less use of biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). A Treat to target (T2T) strategy has been recommended to improve clinical outcomes but barriers include patient preference, access to specialty care and increased administrative effort. Additionally, EM patients in the US often have low health literacy, express greater reluctance to accept physician recommendations, in part due to sociocultural preference and mistrust of a historically biased healthcare system. It is unknown whether improving knowledge of RA would improve T2T outcomes in EM active RA patients.ObjectivesTo assess the proportion of EM RA patients who achieve low disease activity or remission following implementation of a coordinator-based education program highlighting T2T RA strategy.MethodsAdult participants with active RA (RAPID3>6 or CDAI > 10) were invited to participate in a series of five one-on-one 20-minute educational sessions, co-occurring with scheduled routine clinic visits (6 -12-week intervals). Sessions were facilitated by a rheumatology care coordinator, a non-healthcare professional with intensive training over 4 weeks to conduct RA patient education. Sociodemographic data was collected, and disease activity measures (TJC, SJC, RAPID3, CDAI) and validated patient questionnaires on RA Knowledge (ACREU), compliance (CQR5), and physician trust (Trust in Physician Scale) were recorded at baseline and after the final educational session. Descriptive statistics were applied and medians and ranges for instrument scores are reported. Paired T-test was used to test for significant differences in scores after the education sessions. Correlations between the ACREU scores and clinical-demographic variables were measured using Pearson’s correlation coefficient.Results20 EM patients (75% Female, mean age, 58.8 years (12.2) seen by EM physicians were enrolled, with mean RA disease duration of 7 years and poor prognosticators (75% double seropositivity). ACREU scores were low at baseline (mean 0.45 (0.16)), with no significant improvement on completion of educational sessions, and no correlation with years of education or duration of RA. There was a positive correlation between ACREU and compliance scores at baseline (r=0.3). Average duration of the education period was 9.72 months, with a 33% decrease in average RAPID3 over time, and 42% of patients achieving a target of remission or LDA. Trust in Physician scores were high at baseline and persisted with >50% of patients completing at least one medication change during study period.ConclusionRA knowledge did not impact RA patient outcomes in this cohort of EM patients. However, patients had high trust in their providers and achieved clinical remission or LDA despite risk for poor outcomes highlighting the importance of the provider- patient relationship in achieving targeted goals of therapy. Limitations include the small sample size from a single institution, and the lengthy time between initial and final assessment of RA knowledge.References[1]Lineker SC, Badley EM, Hughes EA, Bell MJ.

Abstract:
Abstract Despite increasing interest in social support exchanges among older adults, little is known about the interplay between giving and receiving social support, how social support exchanges change over time, and factors associated with such change. Using data on 1,305 older Singaporeans participating in two waves of a national, longitudinal survey conducted in 2016-2017 and 2019, we investigated (1) distinct social support exchange profiles that comprise different types of giving and receiving social support, (2) transitions in social support exchange profiles over time, and (3) association of sociodemographic characteristics and health status with such transitions. Gender-stratified random intercept latent transition analysis (RI-LTA) produced three main findings. First, we identified four social support exchange profiles—multi-exchange, provider, receiver, and low exchange—for both males and females at both waves, although the distribution of profiles varied by gender and waves. Second, males were more likely to transition from the multi-exchange profile to other types, whereas females were relatively more likely to transition into the multi-exchange profile over time. Third, among males, those older, of ethnic minority, unmarried, employed, and with depressive symptoms were more likely to transition into the receiver profile from other types. Females who were younger, of ethnic majority, married, and less educated were more likely to transition into the multi-exchange type from low or receiver profiles. The findings capture the temporal dynamics in social support exchange profiles and their gendered characteristics. Policy interventions should focus on older adults who lack social support exchanges and those who lose social support exchanges over time.

Abstract:
AimsThis audit aims to identify whether newly diagnosed dementia patients are offered post diagnostic support and potential factors influencing patient choice.BackgroundA diagnosis of dementia can be life changing and hence post-diagnostic support for dementia is key. Multiple guidelines suggest that post diagnostic support need to be offered to all patients diagnosed with dementia. The Department of Health and Social Care and other national/ local guidelines suggest that post diagnostic support is offered to all patients diagnosed with dementia.MethodData were collected for 40 patients diagnosed with dementia. Using random number generator, patient group was selected from pool of patients diagnosed with dementia between July’ 2017 - December’ 2017. Data included whether they had been offered support during the initial appointment and what post-diagnostic support was offered. Demographic details obtained to identify patterns of support accessed by patients.ResultAll patients were offered post-diagnostic support. Diagnosis was discussed in appointment in about 93% of patients. Medication was discussed in 82% patients. Driving was discussed in only 64% patients and LPA was discussed in only 63% patients. When given choice between Post diagnostic support group (PDSG) and Dementia adviser (DA), slightly more women tend to choose PDSG group. The only 2 ethnic minority patients chose DA. 21% more patients opted for PDSG group when they had a carer.ConclusionThe positive is that some post-diagnostic support is offered to all patients. Although discussion of diagnosis with patients was done well, discussion of medication, driving and LPA can be improved upon. Ethnicity and family structure/ carer may have a bearing on patient choice of post-diagnostic support.

Abstract:
Background Home delivery (HD) without skilled birth attendants (SBAs) are considered crucial risk factors increasing maternal and child mortality rates in Loa PDR. While a few studies in the literature discuss the choice of delivery in remote areas of minority ethnic groups; our work aims to identify factors that indicated their delivery place, at home or in the health facilities. Methods A community-based qualitative study was conducted between February and March 2020. Three types of interviews were implemented, In-depth interviews with 16 women of eight rural villages who delivered in the last 12 months in Xepon District, Savannakhet Province, Lao PDR. Also, three focus group discussions (FGDs) with nine HCPs and key-informant interviews of ten VHVs were managed. Factors affecting the choice of the delivery place were categorized according to the social-ecological model. Results Our sample included five Tri women and two Mangkong women in the HD group, while the FD group included three Tri women, two Mangkong women, one Phoutai woman, two Laolung women and one Vietnamese. Our investigation inside the targeted minority showed that both positive perceptions of home delivery (HD) and low-risk perception minorities were the main reasons for the choice of HD, on the individual level. On the other hand, fear of complication, the experience of stillbirth, and prolonged labour pain during HD were reasons for facility-based delivery (FD). Notably, the women in our minority reported no link between their preference and their language, while the HCPs dated the low knowledge to the language barrier. On the interpersonal level, the FD women had better communication with their families, and better preparation for delivery compared to the HD group. The FD family prepared cash and transportation using their social network. At the community level, the trend of the delivery place had shifted from HD to FD. Improved accessibility and increased knowledge through community health education were the factors of the trend. At the societal (national policy) level, the free delivery policy and limitation of HCPs’ assisted childbirth only in health facilities were the factors of increasing FD, while the absence of other incentives like transportation and food allowance was the factor of remaining of HD. Conclusions Based on the main findings of this study, we urge the enhancement of family communication on birth preparedness and birthplace. Furthermore, our findings support the need to educate mothers, especially those of younger ages, about their best options regarding the place of delivery. We propose implementing secondary services of HD to minimize the emergency risks of HD. We encourage local authorities to be aware of the medical needs of the community especially those of pregnant females and their right for a free delivery policy.

Abstract:
e18621 Background: Understanding the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of breast cancer during treatment and survivorship is important; however, little data are available - particularly for long-term ( > 5 year) survivors. Health utility scores anchored between 0 (death) and 1 (perfect/best possible health) have been shown to be a good proxy index score of the overall HRQOL. The aim of this study was to estimate the utilities in the treatment and survivorship of breast cancer using validated preference-based measures(PBMs). Methods: Women (18 years or older) with history of breast cancer (on/off treatment) were recruited via Love Research Army (LRA), an online community of women engaged in breast cancer research. Members of the LRA were invited to participate via email and women who self-selected to be eligible were asked to complete clinical and demographics form and two generic PBMs - EQ-5D and Short Form-12 (SF-12), and one cancer-specific PBM-European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer-8D (EORTC-8D). Descriptive statistics and non-parametric analysis of variance tests were used to examine differences between the survivorship groups. Results: 1,636 women aged 46 ± 10 years were included in the analysis. Mean age at primary diagnosis was 35 ± 10 years and most patients were diagnosed with breast cancer stage 0-2 (n = 1362, 83.25%). For women currently on treatments, mean utility values were: chemotherapy (EQ-5D = 0.61, SF-6D = 0.67,EORTC-8D = 0.69), radiation(EQ-5D = 0.71, SF-6D = 0.67, EORTC-8D = 0.66), hormone replacement therapy (EQ-5D = 0.82,SF-6D = 0.76,EORTC-8D = 0.85), targeted therapy (EQ-5D = 0.77, SF-6D = 0.74, EORTC-8D = 0.82), and surgery (EQ-5D = 0.81,SF-6D = 0.69, EORTC-8D = 0.78). For women diagnosed with arm lymphedema (n = 182,11%), utility values were EQ-5D = 0.79,SF-6D = 0.74, EORTC-8D = 0.82. Women who were ≤ 5 years post-primary diagnosis reported slightly lower utility values (EQ-5D = 0.82,SF-6D = 0.76,EORTC-8D = 0.84) than women who were 6-10 years (EQ-5D = 0.83,SF-6D = 0.76,EORTC-8D = 0.85; p = 0.117) post-primary diagnosis. However, when utilities for women who were ≤ 5 years post-primary diagnosis were compared to women who were 11 to 15 years (EQ-5D = 0.86,SF-6D = 0.79,EORTC-8D = 0.88) and over 15 years (EQ-5D = 0.86,SF-6D = 0.81,EORTC-8D = 0.89) post-primary diagnosis, the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.000). Women who belonged to non-White ethnic groups, had lower levels of education (Bachelors or less) and reported less than USD 50,000 annual income in the previous year reported lower utility values across all time points, after adjusting for age and cancer stage. Conclusions: This study shows that the HRQOL decline in the first five years post-primary breast cancer diagnosis persists for several years into survivorship. Further, women from ethnic minority groups and lower socioeconomic background have lower HRQOL, irrespective of their age and cancer stage.

Abstract:
The thesis consists in a discussion of ethnographic sources gathered during fieldwork in Nan Province- Northern Thailand- in 2008 and 2009. The analysis operates at least on three interplaying levels. Firstly, drawing from theoretical suggestions coming from E.Goffman, G.Debord, C.Geertz, J.Scott and other authors, I emphasize the usefulness of the theatre-spectacle metaphor for the study of developmental and environmental social dynamics, as it allows to describe the institutionalization of a moral and aesthetic discourse of social responsibility and helps to explain frictions and contradictions happening in the backstage of the environmental spectacle at local, national and international scale. Secondly, I show how the articulation of environmental and landscape imaginaries, narratives and projections encourages forms of territorialization and counter-territorialization which are not reducible to a simplistic opposition between hegemonic and subaltern subjects and which need to be explored looking for cases that contradict this theoretical dichotomy through the description of situational subjective agencies. Thirdly, I enlighten a path along which the ideas of subalternity and hegemony are crucial not for the fact that they enclose specific and stable subjectivities, but for the reason that competition within and combination of hegemonic and subaltern social capitals in the environmental arena are sources of institutional stabilization in a country that is often in political trouble. The selective and discrete analysis of different stakeholders involved in this arena,reflected in the titling and succession of five chapters leads to understand how, similarly to what happens in the Luigi Pirandello’s drama I sei personaggi in cerca di autore (Engl.trans. Six characters looking for an author) I found out that subaltern subjects, and especially non T’ai and non-Buddhist ethnic minorities that used to be part of the communist guerrilla (1965-1983), in recent years tend to act like characters looking for an author who is capable of legitimizing their presence on the environmental stage; in this scenario, egemonic authors themselves (environmental institutional agencies) may behave as actors looking for other, superior sources of authority (Buddhist religion, the King, the media, the UN agencies...). Only if 'masked' as Khon M'uang they become able to act in the environmental spectacle as authorized subjects. Environmental populism works as a territorializing force and enact symbolic dispositives that indirectly tend to rewrite (and sometimes to cancel) upland environmental culture by the means of correcting its landscape.

Abstract:
Malgré la déliquescence du nationalisme afrikaner causée par la chute du régime de l’apartheid et la prise du pouvoir politique par un parti non raciste et non ethnique en 1994, nous observons depuis les années 2000, un renouvèlement du mouvement identitaire afrikaner. L’objectif de cette thèse est donc de comprendre l’émergence de ce nouvel activisme ethnique depuis la transition démocratique. Pour approfondir notre compréhension du phénomène, nous nous posons les questions suivantes : comment pouvons-nous expliquer le renouvèlement de l’activisme afrikaner dans la « nouvelle » Afrique du Sud ? Comment sont définis les nouveaux attributs de la catégorie de l’afrikanerité ? Comment les élites ethnopolitiques restructurent-elles leurs stratégies pour assurer la pérennité de la catégorie dans l’Afrique du Sud post-apartheid ? Qu’est-ce que la résurgence d’une afrikanerité renouvelée nous apprend sur l’état de la cohésion sociale en Afrique du Sud et sur la mobilisation ethnolinguistique en général ? La littérature sur le mouvement post-apartheid fait consensus sur la disparition du nationalisme afrikaner raciste, mais offre peu d’analyses empiriques et de liens avec les nombreux écrits sur le mouvement nationaliste afrikaner pour comprendre les dynamiques de ce nouveau phénomène et effectue peu de liens avec les nombreux écrits sur le mouvement nationaliste afrikaner. Notre argument est que le nouvel activisme afrikaner est en continuité avec la trajectoire du nationalisme afrikaner, plus précisément avec le courant conservateur. Les entrepreneurs ethnopolitiques suivent les voies tracées par leurs prédécesseurs en reproduisant des stratégies politiques, institutionnelles ainsi qu’une structure idéologique dont les fondements sont semblables à ceux du mouvement nationaliste. Les entrepreneurs ethnopolitiques structurent l’activisme afrikaner selon trois processus. D’abord, ils procèdent au cadrage des nouveaux attributs de la catégorie en faisant notamment de l’autosuffisance communautaire, le cœur de l’afrikanerité. Ensuite, ils essayent d’institutionnaliser une nouvelle catégorie identitaire, qu’ils appellent les minorités discrimines raciales et ethniques. Ce processus de group-making vise à susciter une action collective déployée autant au niveau national qu’international, pour exercer une pression sur le gouvernement de l’ANC, accusée de discriminer les Afrikaners. Enfin, les entrepreneurs ethnopolitiques mettent sur pied un réseau d’organisations ethniques pour assurer la reproduction de l’afrikanerité et assurer la survie ethnique. Ces niches écologiques permettent de se substituer à l’État en offrant aux membres de la communauté des services et en créant des espaces réservés à la routinisation de l’afrikanerité.
The thesis aims at understanding the restructuration processes of the Afrikaner movement following the South African democratic transition. Despite the collapse of Afrikaner nationalism caused by the end of the apartheid regime and the seizure of political power by a non-racist and non-ethnic party in 1994, we have seen a renewal of the Afrikaner identity movement since the 2000s. The aim of this thesis is therefore to understand the emergence of this new ethnic activism since the democratic transition. To deepen our understanding of the phenomenon, we ask the following questions: how can we explain the renewal of Afrikaner activism in the « new » South Africa? How are the new attributes of the Afrikaner category redefined? How do the ethnopolitical elites restructure their strategies to ensure the reproduction of the category within the new national context? What does the resurgence of a renewed Afrikanerity tell us about the state of social cohesion in South Africa and the ethnolinguistic mobilization in general? The literature on the post apartheid movement makes consensus on the death of the racist Afrikaner nationalism but offers little empirical analysis to understand the dynamics of this new phenomenon and the links with the many writings on Afrikaner nationalism are not made. To remedy these empirical shortcomings, our argument is that the new Afrikaner activism is in continuity with the trajectory of Afrikaner nationalism, more precisely with the conservative current. Ethnopolitical entrepreneurs follow the paths traced by their predecessors by reproducing political and institutional strategies as well as an ideological structure whose foundations are similar to those of the nationalist movement. However, continuity means that institutions must adapt to changing contexts in order to persist over time. In our case, the democratic transition has paved the way for institutional adaptation processes and historical awakening. Afrikaner activism is restructured through three processes. Ethnopolitical entrepreneurs are engaged in a framing process of the new attributes of the category in which community self-sufficiency is defined as the heart of Afrikanerity. Then, these elites try to institutionalize a new category as the new foundation of the political action of the movement. This is how ethno-political entrepreneurs mobilize what they call discriminated racial and ethnic minorities. This group-making process aims to stimulate collective action by depicting a frame of injustice to prove that Afrikaners are discriminated against by the government. This political strategy is deployed both nationally and internationally to exert pressure on the ANC government. Finally, ethnopolitical entrepreneurs have set up a network of ethnic organizations to ensure the reproduction of Afrikanerity and ensure ethnic survival. These ecological niches make it possible to replace the State by offering the members of the community services and by creating spaces for the routinization of Afrikanerity.

Abstract:
This chapter introduces the poetry of Aku Wuwu (aka Luo Qingchun), a member of the Yi ethnic minority group in ethnically diverse southwest China. His experiences growing up in the Liangshan Mountains of southern Sichuan have deeply marked his work and shaped his academic career. The chapter explores his use of imagery of traditional and contemporary Yi culture and the natural and human-manipulated environment in his work. His stress on “mother tongue” writing in the Nuosu dialect of Yi and the positioning of himself as a cultural hybrid are major aspects of his theoretical approach. His bilingual corpus of poetry (Nuosu and Han languages) and critical works provide insight into key issues in ethnic minority writing in China today.

Abstract:
This book examines the gendered and class-conscious political activism of Mexican-origin people in Texas from 1900 to 1950. In particular, it questions the inter-generational agency of Mexicans and Mexican Americans who subscribed to particular race-ethnic, class, and gender ideologies as they encountered barriers and obstacles in a society that often treated Mexicans as a nonwhite minority. Middle-class transborder activists sought to redeem the Mexican masses from body politic exclusions in part by encouraging them to become identified with the nation-state. Redeeming la raza was as much about saving them from traditional modes of thought and practices that were perceived as hindrances to progress as it was about saving them from race and class-based forms of discrimination that were part and parcel of modernity. At the center of this link between modernity and discriminatory practices based on social constructions lay the economic imperative for the abundant and inexpensive labor power that the modernization process required. Labeling groups of people as inferior helped to rationalize their economic exploitation in a developing modern nation-state that also professed to be a democratic society founded upon principles of political egalitarianism. This book presents cases of transborder activism that demonstrate how the politics of respectability and the politics of radicalism operated, often at odds but sometimes in complementary ways.

Abstract:
This essay analyzes the ways in which rural lordship was legitimized, maintained and sometimes contested in the late Middle Ages. The focus is not on the local societies and the political competition within the regional state, but rather on the position of seigneurial power in the interstices of international relations. Specifically, the dynamics of the frontier allowed the lords to enforce their power, but produced situations that put their authority in risk, providing opportunities for their subjects to contrast it. Political brokerage is the key to exploring the competition and the relationship between a variety of local actors and the state authorities. The source I selected is the Carteggio sforzesco, consisting of the written correspondence between these protagonists. From this viewpoint and thanks to records rich in narrative and descriptive contents, I will try to reconstruct economic tensions, military instability, the need for diplomatic agreements and for individual protection, that define the relationship between the Duchy of Milan, Valais, Switzerland and Grisons. Finally I will go into depth in the case-study of Val Formazza, where the domination of the lords family was in decline during the 15th Century, while local protagonists of this diversified local world – highlanders of lower social conditions settled in a peripheral valley forming an ethno-cultural minority of German speakers – were capable.

Abstract:
Latinos were categorized by new nativists as a dysfunctional urban underclass minority group that led a lifestyle sharply at odds with the accepted American values-based lifestyle: unemployed and not seeking work, dependent on welfare, families broken, and suffering from major health problems. However, data from 1940 to 2000 showed that, compared to other racial and ethnic groups, Latinos have consistently had the strongest work ethic, lowest use of welfare, highest rate of business establishment, strongest families, and unexpectedly good health outcomes, such as the longest life expectancy.

Abstract:
The research is conducted within the framework of the National Research Programme (NRP) “Latvian Language” (No. VPP-IZM-2018/2-0002) 8th sub-project, “Acquisition of Latvian Language”. The aim of this article is to summarise and systematise the scientific knowledge on the promotion of Latvian language in ethnically and linguistically heterogeneous pre-school groups in the context of a competency-based approach. In Latvia, the competency-based approach has been implemented in pre-school educational institutions since 2019. In the pedagogical work, the transition has taken place from the result to the process, emphasising the child being a researcher. The implementation of this approach has changed the arrangement of the pre-school environment, and also the work of teachers has improved in order to successfully develop the child’s self-directed learning, thinking and creativity, self-knowledge and transversal skills. In the pre-school, children develop literacy, which determines the acquisition of Latvian language both in Latvian and ethnic minority pre-school education programmes. In the competency-based curriculum, it is indicated that the following language acquisition skills should be achieved at the end of pre-school education: • a child can explain why people use language when communicating, listen to the text, name the people acting in it, re-tell the events, invent a continuation to a text, ask questions if confused and answer a specific question, clearly and consistently tell what is seen, heard and experienced, participate in a conversation, does not interrupt the speaker, uses different speech intonations when speaking, distinguishes and names sounds, marks sound with an appropriate letter, reads words and understands what is read, writes written letters; • a child who has acquired an ethnic minority pre-school education curriculum can answer questions in Latvian about what he/she has seen and heard, ask questions to obtain the information, express one’s needs, engage in a conversation on topics related to everyday life and the learning process; learns to pronounce sounds correctly, knows printed letters, reads short words used in the learning process and everyday situations (Pirmsskolas mācību programma 2019). However, it is a challenge for the national education system to ensure high achievements in language acquisition for both monolingual and bilingual children. From an early age, the children’s language development is focused on the expansion and perfection of their skills. At first, children learn to understand and use the sounds, then the words, then the sentences, and finally the whole text. This ensures a diverse interaction with the social environment, using the language tools that stimulate the child’s personal development and the formation of social experience. Within the framework of the NRP “Latvian Language”, a study has been conducted in relation to the language acquisition of pre-school children, indicating the main problem issues. Thus, the following research questions are put forward: (1) How have the opportunities for children’s language acquisition improved in the two years since the competency-based approach is implemented in the pre-school institutions? (2) What are the benefits and challenges of bilingual education? (3) What solutions can be offered to improve the situation?
