Abstract:
The framers and advocates of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals face a unique challenge when it comes to the goals of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3, good health and wellbeing, as it concerns women’s health. The health of women, and in particular reproductive rights, have been politicized in the work of the UN. Forums of the UN have become a battleground between those who would frame reproductive rights as a morality policy versus those who frame them as a feminist policy. This problem is not new to the organization’s work. Indeed, it has been a challenge to the UN’s ability to promote women’s health for years. This article explores how the framing of women’s reproductive rights poses a unique challenge to implementing some of the goals of SDG3, and in particular targets 3.1, 3.7, and 3.8. It also offers strategies to surmount the challenge with an example of a different intergovernmental organization that managed to overcome this issue.

Abstract:
Teachers as professional educators have an important role in developing human resources. The task of the teacher is not only as a teacher but also as an educator, so that in addition to having the task of strengthening the intellectual capacity of students, it is also responsible for the formation and development of the personality capacity and abilities of students cognitively, affective and psychomotor. However, apart from these assignments, teachers still have various problems related to excessive workloads and quality demands that are not comparable to the economic and social welfare they receive and problems with politicization of teachers. This problem simultaneously affects work engagement, self-efficacy and job satisfaction of professional educators. Even though work engagement.

At a time of uncertainty and rapid change, little can be predicted with any confidence. We can note, however; the point reached in dialectical historical processes and recognize the conflicts and contradictions pushing in different directions. We can consider developments in politics, culture, personal relationships and psychotherapy as major dimensions of the context within which we continue to work and which, in the course of our work, we are called on to address.

Abstract:
In response to the four commentaries on ‘Cyborg uterine geography’, in which I argued normatively for reorganizing gestation on the basis of comradeliness, I grapple with three overlapping conceptual areas highlighted: the ethical and political affordances of the term ‘generosity’ in relation to care and pregnancy; the methodological question of bringing insights from the uterine field of ‘sympoeisis’ (‘making-with’, Haraway (2016) Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene. Durham: Duke University Press.) into the practice of scholarship; and the desire for more place-based specificity in the mapping of uterine geographies (plural, rather than singular; ‘normal’, as well as ‘queer’). Throughout this reply, I tie my remarks back to the core framework I advance in my piece, of gestation being work which, as such, has no predetermined gender, is subject to transformation through struggle, should not be romanticized (for instance, by identifying it with ‘the biological maternal’). Firstly, I rethink what it means to valorize gestational relationality in terms of generousness, from an antiwork perspective. Secondly, I engage the question, ‘can uterine geographies also create a methodology of engagement’? while seeking to qualify the proposed embrace of ‘indeterminacy’. Thirdly, I respond to concerns about the ‘universality’ in my piece by considering some contemporary examples of uterine politicization, specifically around abortion, that suggest to me that specificity has served as the matrix through which a ‘militant particularism’ (Harvey and Williams (1995) Militant particularism and global ambition. Social Text 42(Spring): 69–98.) can emerge in the form of geographically far-flung Reproductive Justice solidarities.

Abstract:
The article examines the issues of schools’ politicization in the domestic pedagogical thought of the pre-war period. The theoretical and methodological relevance of the study lies in the need to study the theory and practice of school education, modernization models and educational strategies of the Soviet period. No less important is the relevance of the historical dimension of the problem of the development of school education in the USSR in the context of the scientific reconstruction of the main stages of its evolution. The author has used historical-structural, historical-typological, historiographic and source study methods in his work. The purpose and practical significance of scientific work are associated with the tasks of interpreting and revising the activities of historically established educational systems, and with the possibility of their retrospective use for examining the state of the modern Russian school and building innovative concepts that generate new pedagogical knowledge. The study postulates the assertion that the upbringing system in the Soviet period was part of the ideological work of the ruling party, which had a huge impact on society. The views of prominent figures in pedagogical science and education system on the problem of raising the younger generation are characterized. The leading tendencies of etatization and politicization of school educational practice in the historical period under consideration are revealed. The main parameters of the modernization of the system of cultural, educational and educational activities of the united labour socialist school have been determined. It has been established that during the Soviet period, a worldwide recognized system of general education appeared. At the same time, the era under consideration was marked by the politicization of education, formation and subsequent development of the state-party management of the public education system.

Abstract:
AbstractBuilding on recent scholarship that highlights social change caused by the Anti-Japanese War, this paper traces the politicization of women working in the cotton mills of Chongqing, the Nationalist wartime capital. Upon joining the workforce in the late 1930s, most cotton mill hands were young, uneducated women expected to endure hard work and remain physically confined to the factories. By 1945, women workers were at the forefront of a militant labour movement, writing manifestoes and petitioning government officials. This process of politicization stemmed from their decision to work in factories, which breached societal norms, and their experience of disciplined labour regimes and brutal working conditions, which fostered an incipient class-consciousness. Moreover, Nationalist-sponsored factory education campaigns had the unintended effect of leading women to challenge class exploitation and sexual discrimination. Their participation in the labour movement, which was fuelled by their struggle for economic justice and desire for higher social status, used both legal forms— especially petitions and letters to the press couched in the wartime nationalist rhetoric of shared sacrifice—and extralegal means, namely class violence. The paper concludes that the social changes and conflict that accompanied women's wartime work helped prepare the terrain for Communist rule.

Abstract:
The military is a key actor in the political life of many nations. Across the developing and socialist worlds, the armed forces have served as far more than guarantors of national security as they sustain civilian elites in power or often seize it themselves. In China there has been a long tradition of military rule during much of the modern era–one need think only of Li Hongzhang and the Beiyang Army, the Republic's first president General Yuan Shikai, the warlords of the 1920s, or Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and theGuominjun(the twin sibling of the ruling Guomindang). In post-1949 China former and active-duty military officers (as well as the military as an institution) have been central actors in the political life of the nation, effectively administering the country from 1949–52 and 1967–73. However, this article is not so much about the militarization of politics in China as about the politicization of the military.

AbstractThis article examines the development of the Republic of Korea’s strategy to prevent the spread of COVID-19 with particular focus on ethical issues and the problem of politicization of public communication. Using prominent examples of stakeholders who have acted and expressed themselves in highly contradictory ways on the topic of the pandemic, we provide an analysis of how the public health policy discourse has entered into the realm of politicization and elaborate on the danger that this phenomenon poses in terms of rational debate and appropriate policy measures geared toward the public’s safety. Considering the role that the Republic of Korea have had in global media coverage of quarantine policies and epidemic prevention, we believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the literature because it provides a new perspective and insights into the forces at work within and around a prevention strategy that has both been lauded and seen as highly controversial.

Abstract:
Previous academic work on stability in Dagestan has focused on two potential cleavages, the republic’s ethnic diversity and the challenge from radical Islamist groups. Using results from a December 2005 survey, and focusing on Dagestan’s six main ethnic groups, this paper investigates attitudes towards the dual topics of the politicization of ethnicity and the relationship between terrorism and Islamism. We find that Dagestanis maintain layered conceptions of identity, and do not attribute violence predominantly to radical Islam in the republic or the wider North Caucasus. Scholars should be aware of Rogers Brubaker’s concept of groupism in analyzing not just ethnic groups, but religious movements as well.

Denna kvalitativa studie fokuserade på effektiviteten av svenskt utvecklingsbistånd i Zimbabweutifrån på organisationernas synpunkter samt hur de arbetar med utvecklingen i landet. Sammanlagt genomfördes fyra semistrukturerade intervjuer med kvalificerade biståndsarbetare somrepresenterade svenska utvecklingsorganisationer och partnerorganisationer i Zimbabwe.Dessa organisationer var Diakonia, Zimbabwe Women's Resource Center & Network, Afrikagrupperna och Unionen. Resultaten har visat att det finns positiva och identifierbara inverkanav utvecklingsbistånd trots utmaningarna i landet. Dessutom presenteras i denna uppsats deförändringar som biståndsorganisationerna har genomfört i olika städer i Zimbabwe. Slutsatsensom studien har kommit fram till är, för att de möjligheter som biståndsorgan skapar ska varahållbara bör regeringen välkomna aktörerna i det civila samhället och den privata sektorn somhar resurser för att komplettera det som regeringen inte har. Samt skapa en bra politisk miljödär regeringen och det civila samhället kan samarbeta.
This qualitative study focused on the effectiveness of Swedish development aid in Zimbabwe,based on the organizations' views and how the aid organizations work with development in thecountry. A total of four semi-structured interviews were conducted with qualified developmentworkers representing Swedish development organizations and partner organizations in Zimbabwe from, Diakonia, Zimbabwe Women's Resource Centre & Network, Afrikagrupperna andUnionen. The results have shown that there is a positive impact of development aid despite thechallenges in the country. We have presented in this essay the positive and identifiable changesthat aid agencies have accomplished in various cities in Zimbabwe. The conclusion of this studyis, for the opportunities created by aid agencies to be sustainable, the government should welcome the civil society actors and the private sector that have the resources to complement thosethat the government does not have. As well as create a good policy environment in which government and civil society can cooperate.

Attacks against nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in high-risk conflict zones have increased exponentially over the last two decades. However, the few existing empirical studies on NGO insecurity have tended to focus on external factors influencing attacks, with little attention paid to the actions of aid workers themselves. To fill this gap, this dissertation theorizes that aid workers may have contributed to their own insecurity by engaging in greater political action. Both quantitative and qualitative methods are used to assess the impact of political activity by NGOs on the insecurity of aid workers. The quantitative analyses test the theory at two levels. The first is a large-N country-level analysis of 117 nations from 1999 to 2015 using panel corrected standard errors. The second is a subnational-level statistical analysis of four case studies: Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, and Colombia from 2000 to 2014. Both the country- and provincial- level analyses show that the magnitude of aid tends to be a significant determinant of aid worker security. The qualitative methods of “structured-focused comparison” and “process tracing” are used to analyze the four cases. Results show that aid workers are most likely to be victims of politically-motivated attacks while in-transit. Consistent with the quantitative findings, it is speculated that if workers are engaged in a large-scale project over an extended period of time, attackers will be able to monitor their daily activities and routines closely, making it easier to orchestrate a successful ambush. Furthermore, the analysis reveals that political statements made by NGOs—regardless of their sectors of activity—have increased insecurity for the broader aid community. These results dispel the myth that humanitarian activity has historically been independent, impartial, and neutral. Several NGOs have relied on this false assumption for security, believing that adherence to core principles has contributed to “humanitarian space.” The results also dispel the popular NGO assumption that targeted attacks are not official tactics of organized militants, but rather the result of criminality or mistaken identity. In fact, the overwhelming majority of aid workers attacked in high-risk conflict zones have been targeted by political actors.

This work was aimed to investigate the level of politicization of teachers and whether this affects the political commitment of these workers outside the educational context of public schools in Santa Maria, with reference to current educational policies that have the autonomy, a key democracy feature of school management. In this sense, the knowledge of how and why the politicization of teachers, taking into consideration the historical, social, political and economic factors, underlie the thinking and work of these workers becomes a possibility for discussion, understanding and building an effective and conscious commitment to education in its social sense. In this form, not only the teachers, but also all that are involved in the educational work of the school must reflect and be aware of who they are, where they stand and to whom and for whom they work and struggle, which corresponds to making a critical inventory, conscious of themselves and their work in a contextualized way. To this end, the research was based on a qualitative approach, in one critical perspective, being the participant observation and focus group techniques used to collect data and the information obtained analyzed by content analysis. It became evident that teachers' work is extremely fragmented along the lines of factory work and reinforcement for technical education much present in the school concepts and practices. In this arrangement, the work force is more than common sense that the practice, pointing to the political apathy in relation to the profession and social reality, but the possible withdrawal, resistance and political commitment in relation to education and society. These categories occurred for the fact that the teachers themselves have the conscience needed before seeing themselves as this category of workers in order to constitute their professional identity. To meet this, the continuing education in the school from their needs is shown as the greatest ally in this process of political and technical training of teachers and, therefore, the reconstruction of school work. As a result, this work sought to contribute to studies that address the construction of citizenship, based on the politicization of teachers with reference to the political commitment of the working class, as has become one of the prerogatives for a more equitable education and a truly democratic society. Based on this position, therefore, an urgent and necessary discussion of the historical-critical work of the teacher and the school is advocated in the capitalist context with a view to understanding and combating the social function of this educational institutions and concomitant to the responsibility and role of the teachers in this work.
A presente dissertação teve como intuito investigar o nível de politização dos professores e se este condiciona o comprometimento político destes trabalhadores frente ao contexto educacional da rede pública estadual de Santa Maria, tomando como referência as políticas educacionais atuais que têm na autonomia, na democracia as principais características da gestão escolar. Nesse sentido, saber como está e porquê está a politização dos professores levando-se em consideração os aspectos históricos, sociais, políticos e econômicos que perpassam o pensar e o fazer destes trabalhadores converte-se em possibilidade de discussão, compreensão e construção de um efetivo e consciente engajamento com a educação no seu sentido social. Dessa forma, não só os professores, mas todos os sujeitos envolvidos no trabalho pedagógico da escola precisam refletir e ter consciência sobre quem são, de que lado estão e para quem e por quem trabalham e lutam, o que corresponde fazer um inventário crítico e consciente de si mesmos e do próprio trabalho de modo contextualizado. Para tanto, o caminho metodológico da pesquisa esteve fundamentado na abordagem qualitativa, numa perspectiva crítica, sendo a observação participante e o grupo focal as técnicas elegidas para a coleta dos dados, cuja análise de tais informações ocorreu através de análise de conteúdo. Como resultado ficou evidenciado que o trabalho dos professores ainda está extremamente fragmentado aos moldes do trabalho fabril e reforçado pela formação tecnicista muito presente nas concepções e práticas escolares. Nessa organização de trabalho o que vigora é mais o senso comum que a práxis, o que aponta à apatia política em relação à profissão e à realidade social, mas à desistência, à resistência e o comprometimento político possível em relação à educação e à sociedade. Essas categorias ocorrem pelo fato de que os próprios professores têm consciência que precisam antes olhar para si mesmos como categoria de trabalhadores, com vistas a constituírem a respectiva identidade profissional. Ao encontro disso a formação continuada na escola a partir das suas necessidades mostra-se como a grande aliada nesse processo de formação técnica e política dos professores e, portanto, na reconstrução do trabalho da escola. Conforme os referidos resultados esta Dissertação de Mestrado buscou contribuir com estudos que se dirijam à construção da cidadania, tomando como base a politização dos professores com vistas ao comprometimento político como classe trabalhadora, tornando-se este, uma das prerrogativas para uma educação mais equitativa, cidadã, voltada para uma sociedade verdadeiramente democrática. Através deste posicionamento, portanto, defendo uma urgente e necessária reflexão histórico-crítica do trabalho do professor e da escola no contexto capitalista com vistas ao entendimento e à luta pela função social dessa instituição educativa e concomitantemente a responsabilidade e o papel do professor nesse trabalho.

Abstract:
Personality is important to job performance; meta-analyses published over the years repeatedly showed that self-rated personality traits can significantly predict overall job performance (Barrick & Mount, 1991; Barrick, Mount, & Judge, 2001). Despite their significance, these same meta-analyses, generally showed personality only had a small effect on overall job performance. The exception was conscientiousness, which had a less than medium effect. However, there is also a growing body of evidence suggesting that other-ratings of personality can show higher concurrent validities than self-ratings. Meta-analytic results showed that personality can have a large effect on overall job performance, if the personality traits are rated by others (Connelly & Ones, 2010). Moreover, concurrent validities increased when utilising narrow measures of both personality (Judge, Rodell, Klinger, Simon, & Crawford, 2013) and job performance (Bartram, 2005). In this study, the author examined the suggestion from meta-analyses that observer-ratings, rather than self-ratings, provide greater explanatory power when predicting job performance. Further, the concurrent validities of using narrow personality traits (facets) as predictors of narrow measures of job performance were investigated. This study comprised 1,041 participants, of which 92% were employed in a UK police organisation. Employees provided self-ratings and identified two co-workers and a manager who could provide other-ratings of personality and job performance. Online questionnaires measured 71 personality facets of the 11+ Factor Model (Irwing & Booth, 2013) and Bartram's (2005) Great Eight factors of job performance. Arguably the most comprehensive measure of personality, the 11+ Factor Model is comprised of 11 factors and 74 facets. Items from the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP; Goldberg, 1999) were utilised to create scales for each of the 74 personality facets. A planned missing data design was implemented to improve response rates (Graham, Taylor, Olchowski, & Cumsille, 2006). Measurement models were estimated first, followed by testing of the structural models (J. C. Anderson & Gerbing, 1988) to estimate the combined effects of personality facets on each of the job performance outcomes. Since cross-validation is a powerful approach for evaluating models (Millsap & Meredith, 2007), all models were cross-validated on two datasets. Fifty-two personality facets were identified and cross-validated. Some of these facets provided superior prediction over factors, when predicting narrow measures of job performance. The facets of integrity, leadership, harm avoidance and empathy explained much of the variance in the Great Eight job competencies. In some cases, self-ratings of personality provided superior prediction over other-ratings.

The evolution of the internet, digital design tools, and more importantly, increasing access to global markets and workforce, has increased the interest of firms in offshoring their engineering and product development activities. However, there exist challenges in coordinating and collaborating across time zones, cultures, geographical locations, and organizations. These challenges are magnified in the case of firms engaged in the design and development of complex engineered products. Our field study of the global engineering efforts of five firms showed that offshoring success is largely affected by the choice of the offshoring content, the architecture of the firm's products, and the organization choices of the respective firms. This led us to frame our research questions as: How does a firm optimally structure the global work distribution, over time, of its product development organization? How does the firm's architecture affect these work distribution decisions? Arguing based on existing literature in operations management, product development, and organizational economics, we identify coordination effort required between locations as a key contributing factor towards the performance of global product development organizations. We segregate the time required to complete a product development task between work time and coordination time, and define the index of modularity for offshoring as the ratio of the work time to the sum of work time and coordination time.
(cont.) We incorporate this factor to develop a recursive equation model that identifies the global structure (work distribution) of a product development organization. We apply our model to structure (optimize) the global product development organization in an industrial setting (with the aim of minimizing costs). We use the design structure matrix (DSM) to map the current process flow. This DSM helps us identify the organization architecture that we can utilize in our optimization model. Our optimization results, based on detailed modeling of coordination costs, show significant cost savings through a re-structured PD organization. Subsequent analysis of our results shows that while offshoring based on modularity is generally right, it is not the whole answer as there exists a trade-off between the efficiency of performing specific PD tasks at the offshore location and the modularity of the task. Besides relative cost rates and modularity, the optimal organization structure is also affected by the relative efficiencies in performing the product development tasks across locations, leading to additional research questions: How does the task completion time change (efficiency differences) when a PD task is transferred to an offshore product development center? How are the firm's prioritization and distribution of efforts towards the offshored PD tasks affected by the various factors that affect the task completion time?
(cont.) To understand these efficiency differences and address the above questions, we develop and analyze a stylized model (two tasks, two locations, two time periods) for a firm seeking to establish a product development center at an offshore location to benefit from cost savings. Our key results show that (a) firms should determine their offshore content to benefit from the existing knowledge base created by the prior offshored content and to create a knowledge base from which subsequent offshoring can benefit (indicating path dependent offshoring) rather than offshoring solely based on modularity; (b) efforts supporting offshoring should prioritize the coordination challenges between tasks at different locations before those between tasks at the offshore location; and (c) in an environment of high volatility of external factors, efforts should be prioritized to enhance the work time and coordination time efficiencies in the first (earliest) period.

Abstract:

Since the Beijing Conference on women in 1995 ‘gender-mainstreaming’ has been the new buzz word within the international development regime. Gender equality is increasingly believed to be a major determinant for socioeconomic development in the Global South. However, the development agenda and the gender strategies for the Global South are still outlined and determined by development professionals at head quarters of the development business in the in the Global North. Heavy critique has been launched against the prevailing international development paradigm, not only for being increasingly centralised and categorised as business, which distances global policy from the lived realities in the Global South, but also for obscuring unequal power relations between men and women behind the political correctness of gender.

This study explores how gender and gender power relations are perceived and approached in practical development work in India. Through the example of the Self-Employed Women’s Association, SEWA, my ambition is to give an example of how gender bias and social inequality can be targeted through practical socioeconomic development work in a way that is both context sensitive and sprung from the Global South. SEWA is a women’s organisation, as well as a trade union and a cooperative movement. Aiming at improving employment and social and economic security for the female workers in the informal sectors, SEWA has organised its 800 000 members and social security services into cooperatives to bring about a process of social transformation with women at the centre.

My empirical findings show that SEWA approaches gender bias in concrete and particular forms. As gender discrimination and poverty are interconnected, dealing with low-income households’ basic socioeconomic needs will also restructure gender power relations. With a large member-base and with ties to NGOs, corporations and governmental bodies, regionally, nationally and internationally, SEWA has become a powerful actor for social development, even at times when they face heavy resistance due to their feminist principles and commitment to the poor and socially marginalised.

Abstract:
Religion has always been an important factor affecting all aspects of society. The level of religiosity in the world is not decreasing, on the contrary, it is rising at the contemporary stage. After the two-polarization period, "we have to celebrate the return of traditionalism. " It primarily belongs to Islam.

Abstract:
Forage harvest belongs to the principal works in contemporary agriculture. Increasingly popular technology is the making round bales. The basic advantage of round balers is application versatility. Harvest method is useful for making hay, straw and haylage, Quality of the bale is dependent on the level of work equipment and operator. This paper is focused on comparing the round baler with variable bale chamber. Round baler Vicon RV 1601 OC14 was compared with round baller Welger RP 435 Master. Both models were equipped with variable chamber. The variable chamber was formed by the endless belts. The evaluation was conducted from quality of work perspective and efficiency. The most important quality parameter was the density of bales. Quality parameters of bales were determined by measuring and weighing. Straw bales and haylage bales were used for studies. Qualitative indicators were converted into dry matter content. Microwave drying according to Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences was used to determine the dry matter. Baler Welger reached better qualitative parameters of work. It was also demonstrated by statistical evaluation using Tukey test. It has clearly demonstrated that round baller Welger achieves significantly greater pressing than round baller Vicon. Greater difference was measured at baling straw. Difference was below the threshold of statistical significance during haylage baling. This difference shows favour of the round baller Welger. On the other hand baler Vicon requires lower input power.
