The history of the provision of child protection services in Victoria, and the lack thereof, is a long and complex one. Yet another twist in the tale occurred recently.A report by Mr Justice Fogarty and Mrs Delys Sargeant, entitled Protective Services for Children in Victoria: An Interim Report, was released in January 1989. This report (hereinafter the Fogarty Report) was commissioned by the Victorian Government in August 1988:“… to inquire into and advise it upon the operation of Victoria's child protection system and on measures to improve its effectiveness and efficiency.”

Objectives To determine health impacts during, and following, an extended community lockdown and COVID-19 outbreak in the Australian state of Victoria, compared with the rest of Australia. Methods A national cohort of 898 working-age Australians enrolled in a longitudinal cohort study, completing surveys before, during, and after a 112-day community lockdown in Victoria (8 July– 27 October 2020). Outcomes included psychological distress, mental and physical health, work, social interactions and finances. Regression models examined health changes during and following lockdown. Results The Victorian lockdown led to increased psychological distress. Health impacts coincided with greater social isolation and work loss. Following the extended lockdown, mental health, work and social interactions recovered to an extent whereby no significant long-lasting effects were identified in Victoria compared to the rest of Australia. Conclusion The Victorian community lockdown had adverse health consequences, which reversed upon release from lockdown. Governments should weigh all potential health impacts of lockdown. Services and programs to reduce the negative impacts of lockdown may include increases in mental health care, encouraging safe social interactions and supports to maintain employment relationships.

Full textAbstract:
Between 1860 and 1870 Professor Frederick McCoy synthesized a distinct theory that guided the Acclimatisation Society of Victoria's zoological importation program. He assembled this theory via drawing upon European authorities and his own personal observations of Victorian zoology and palaeontology in order both to systemize acclimatization and to discredit Darwinism within the colony. These points will be demonstrated by investigating how McCoy formed his theory and how the Acclimatisation Society of Victoria used the theory to guide their importation program.

From this study, it is possible to observe the reaffirmation of their identities, associated with dwellers permanently organized. We propose as a hypothesis that it is possible to point out that the mechanisms of involvement were not only elements tending to claim political or programmatic positions, but also had an effect reaffirming their collective identities in cultural terms in relation to the way of conceiving reality in this popular urban area.Keywords: Collective identity, slum dwellers movement, La Victoria settlement, social involvement.Identidades coletivas e mecanismos de participação social na população A Victoria, 1983-1987ResumoO presente artigo relaciona as identidades coletivas dos habitantes da Victoria com os mecanismos de participação social entre 1983 e 1987.

Full textAbstract:
Starting a family and caring for your offspring is a task of a paramount importance in the life of every person. This belief is unchangeable since the ages past and was popular also in 19th century, when love was not the most important virtue in marriage and childrens’ mortality rate was maintaining a very substantial number. The person who knew it the best was „the Grandmother of Europe” – Queen Victoria who, together with her husband, prince Albert, fostered nine children, and her descendants to this day reign over some of the thrones of Europe.
In this article the mindset of Queen Victoria, in regards to parenthood, will be shown on the basis of journals and her correspondences. Motherhood was a „darker side” of marriage. In that century It was a duty of every woman to fulfill it. High number of pregnancies and problems with properly fostering a family, left a physical and mental mark on Victoria, which is why her view on upbringing may surprise and shock.
Relationship of Victoria and Albert was not as harmonious as people thought, because of couple’s differences in character. Rashness and short temper of Victoria fought Albert’s calmness and mindfulness – that was the picture of their married life for over 20 years. Numerous rows and arguments were a constant element of their life. On the one hand feeling of being intellectually inferior, on the other, low social status, those were the main reasons for disagreements between spouses. During their marriage Albert tried to change Victoria’s character. To some extend he succeeded, but the price was his health. The picture of the royal family perceived by their people was different to reality, but warmth and joy of family life, without disagreements and maintaining all moral codes, were supposed to be a trademark of family in Victorian era.

Natural resource management (NRM) organisations in Australia are increasingly recognising the need for complement studies of biophysical condition of the environment with studies of social condition, such as values, understanding, and participation related to the environment. Relevant and reliable social indicators that can be scaled and measured on a regular basis are essential to meet this need. In this study, we identified four indicators to test the social condition of the public in the State of Victoria in Australia with regard to river health. These indicators were river use, river knowledge and literacy, values and aspirations, and river health behaviours. We tested the four indicators through telephone and web-based surveys with over 1000 people in three areas of Victoria. We analysed the survey data statistically and gathered baseline data on the social condition of river health in the three regions. We made recommendations for how this data could be interpreted and used in community engagement and science communication programmes about river health. We also examined the limitations of the methodology and recommended modifications to the survey design and application for an anticipated roll-out of the survey across the entire State of Victoria. The Victorian Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) will use this survey instrument to test social indicators on a regular basis.

AbstractThe Waste Wise Schools Program was established by EcoRecycle Victoria to implement waste and litter education in Victorian schools. It is now operating in over 900 schools in Victoria and 300 schools in other Australian states / territories. This paper provides detailed case studies of two active schools in the Waste Wise Schools Program and considers for each school how the Program started, what it meant to the school, the environmental, educational, social and economic outcomes of the Program and the key success factors. It discusses evidence that the Program has changed the thinking and behaviour of many families at the schools, suggesting that the children may be acting as catalysts to influence their parent's waste wise behaviour, i.e. having an intergenerational influence. Guidelines for promoting this influence are proposed.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The paper, focused on a few years at the end of the First World War, explores the request of a group of Aborigines in the Australian state of Victoria for freedom of religion. Given that the colony and now state of Victoria had been a stronghold of liberalism, the need for Indigenous Victorians to petition for the removal of outside restrictions on their religious beliefs or practices might seem surprising indeed. But with a Pentecostal revival in train on the mission stations to which many Aborigines were confined, members of the government agency, the Board for the Protection of the Aborigines, preferred the decorum of mainstream Protestant church services to potentially unsettling expressions of charismatic and experiential spirituality. The circumstances surrounding the revivalists’ resistance to the restriction of Aboriginal Christians’ choice of religious expression offer insight into the intersections of faith and gender within the historically created relations of power in this colonial site. Though the revival was extinguished, it stood as a notable instance of Indigenous Victorian women deploying the language of Christian human rights to assert the claims to just treatment and social justice that would characterize later successful Indigenous activism.

Full textAbstract:
El Índice de Progreso Social (IPS) mide el nivel de desarrollo social de una
determinada población con el propósito de mejorar el nivel y calidad de vida de sus
habitantes. El objetivo principal de la presente investigación consiste en elaborar un índice
que compare las tres dimensiones del progreso social para el distrito de La Victoria en el
2017 y que permita medir y determinar el nivel de desarrollo del distrito. La metodología de
la investigación siguió las pautas de la investigación exploratoria. Por lo tanto, se distingue
como cuantitativa, no experimental y transaccional con alcance descriptivo. Asimismo, la
elaboración del IPS se construyó bajo la metodología del Social Progress Imperative. Para
ello, se utilizó un instrumento (cuestionario) con el objetivo de recolectar los datos obtenidos
de las encuestas realizadas a los jefes de hogar de cada familia del distrito de una muestra
determinada para proceder con el levantamiento de información y análisis estadístico. Los
resultados se presentaron de acuerdo con las dimensiones, los componentes y cada una de las
ocho zonas del distrito que se determinaron para la presente investigación. Se ha demostrado
que las principales fortalezas del distrito se encuentran en la dimensión de Necesidades
Humanas Básicas, principalmente en los componentes de agua potable y saneamiento, y
vivienda y servicios públicos; en tanto que en la dimensión de Oportunidades, en tolerancia e
inclusión. Por otro lado, sus debilidades también se encuentran en la dimensión de Necesidades
Humanas Básicas, específicamente en el componente de seguridad personal; en la dimensión
de Oportunidades, en acceso a educación superior; y en la dimensión de Fundamentos del
Bienestar, en sostenibilidad ambiental. De manera general, presenta un nivel de progreso
social calificado medio bajo, dentro de las cuales la zona C2 tiene una calificación de bajo.The Social Progress Index measures the level of social development of a given population with the purpose of improving the level and quality of life of the people who live in it. The main objective of this research is to develop the Index that compares the three pillars of social progress for the District of La Victoria 2017 and that allows to measure and determine the level and / or state of the development progress of the district. The methodology of the research developed was according to the guidelines of the exploratory research, and, therefore, is quantitative, not experimental transactional with descriptive scope. Likewise, the preparation of the Social Progress Index (IPS) was developed using the Social Progress Imperative of Social Progress Index methodology. An instrument was used for this purpose, which was a questionnaire with the objective of collecting data obtained from the surveys carried out on the household heads of each family in the La Victoria district of a given sample in order to proceed with the gathering of information and making a statistical analysis. The results were shown by dimensions, by components and by each of the eight zones of the district that were determined for the present investigation, identifying that the main strengths of the district are in the dimensions of Basic Human Needs mainly in the components of drinking water and sanitation, housing and public services, as well as tolerance and inclusion in the Opportunities dimension. On the other hand, its weaknesses are in the Human Basic Needs dimension, specifically on the personal security compounds. Furthermore, in the Opportunities dimension, in superior education access, as well as in Fundamentals of Wellbeing, principally in environmental sustainability. To sum up, its presents an medium low level of qualified social progress, within those one zones (C2) have a low rating.

This thesis takes the case file of a Sri Lankan asylum seeker found in the archives at the Federal Court of Montreal in March of 2007 and submits it to a textual analysis. In so doing it operates on three levels. First, it elaborates something of the life of this person, the trials she faced both in Sri Lanka and Canada. Second, and most significantly, it observes the effect of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada on the telling of her story, its particular adjudicatory techniques. It is concerned with how this particular institution 'thinks'. Third and finally, it gestures at some possible implications of this analysis in jurisprudential terms. At its most abstract this thesis argues that institutionality is a key feature of the adjudicatory project which is too frequently overlooked.Cette thèse est centrée sur le dossier d'une réfugiée Sri Lankaise, qui a été trouvé dans les archives de la cour fédérale de Montréal en Mars 2007 et fait ici l'objet d'une analyse de texte. Trois points ont été dégagés par cette analyse. Premièrement, celle-ci décrit quelques points de la vie de cette personne et les problèmes qu'elle a rencontré au Sri Lanka et au Canada. Deuxièmement, cela décrit l'influence du Commissariat de l'immigration de du statut de réfugié du Canada sur la manière dont son histoire est narrée, ainsi que les techniques juridiques de ce commissariat. Troisièmement, ce travail envisage les implications possibles de ce cas sur la théorie du droit. Au niveau le plus abstrait, cette thèse argumente le fait que l'institutionnalisme est un trait important dans les processus juridiques et qu'il est trop souvent négligé.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the settlement experience of the Bosnian Muslims in Victoria. Overall this research exploration takes places against background of the history of the immigration to Australia. The study covers migration patterns of Bosnian Muslims from post World War 2 periods to more recent settlement. The thesis provides contemporary insights on Bosnian Muslims living in a Western society such as Australia. The thesis excavates key issues about Islam and the Muslim communities in Western nations and argues that successful settlement is possible, as demonstrated by the Bosnian Muslim community. By adopting a socio-historical framework about settlement, the thesis reveals the significant, interconnected and complex aspects of the settlement process. Settlement of immigrants takes place within global, historical, economic, political, social and cultural elements of both the sending and receiving countries. Thus any study of settlement must examine theories and concepts on migration, settlement, religion, culture, integration and identity. The purpose for migration, the conditions under which migration takes place, the conditions of immigrant reception are fundamental in the context of Australia. Furthermore, Australia since the 1970s has adopted a policy of multiculturalism which has changed settlement experiences of immigrants. These elements are strongly analysed in the thesis both through a critical conceptual appraisal of the relevant issues such as migration, multiculturalism and immigration and through an empirical application to the Bosnian Muslim community. The theoretical element of the study is strongly supported by the empirical research related to settlement issues, integration and multiculturalism in Victoria. Through a socio-historical framework and using a ‘grounded theory’ methodological approach, field research was undertaken with Bosnian Muslim communities, Bosnian organizations and multicultural service providers. In addition, historical data was analysed by chronology. The data provided rich evidence of the Bosnian Muslims’ settlement process under the various governmental policies since World War 2. The study concluded that the Bosnian community has successfully integrated and adapted to the way of life in Australia. Different cohorts of Bosnian Muslims had different settlement patterns, problems and issues which many were able to overcome. The findings revealed the contributions that the Bosnian Muslim community has made to broader social life in Australia such as contribution to the establishment of multi-ethnic Muslim communities, the Bosnian Muslim community development and building social infrastructure. The study also concluded that coming from multicultural backgrounds, the Bosnian Muslims understood the value of cultural diversity and contributed to the development of Australian multiculturalism and social harmony. Overall conclusion of this research is that the different generations of Bosnian Muslims are well-integrated and operate well within Australian multiculturalism.

Full textAbstract:
Contrary to popular belief, teenage mothers are a declining proportion of birthing women; however they receive much negative public attention. Of particular public concern is the high cost of supporting teenage mothers, in terms of financial, health and welfare resources. Historically, the typical founding mother of white Australia was single, but post-war changes in the family structure incorporated the expectation that children be born into two-parent households with the male as the breadwinner. Policy changes in the seventies saw the introduction of the Sole Parents Pension which meant that many birthing teenage women could choose to keep their infants rather than have a clandestine adoption or an enforced marriage. The parenting practices of teenage mothers have been criticised for being less than optimal, and mother and child are reported as being disadvantaged cognitively, psychosocially, and educationally. One widespread nursing service which provides support for new mothers in Victoria is the Maternal and Child Health Service; however, teenage mothers appear reluctant to use such services. Why this should be so became an important question for this research, since little is known about the parenting practices of teenage mothers. This study therefore sought to explore mothering from the perspective of five sole supporting teenage mothers each of whom had a child over six months of age. The research methodology took an interpretive ethnographic approach and was guided by feminist principles. The data were collected through repeated interviewing, participant observation, informal discussions with key informants, field notes and journalling. Data analysis was aided by the use of the software, program NUD-IST. It was found that the young women in this study each chose to give birth with full realisation that their existence was dependent on the Welfare State. Unanticipated, however, were the many structural barriers which made their lives cataclysmic, but these reinforced their determination to prove themselves worthy and capable mothers. The young women negotiated motherhood through a range of social supports and through maternal practice. Unquestionably, their social dependency on the welfare system forced them into marginal citizen status. Moreover, absolute and intrinsic poverty levels were experienced, brought about by inadequate welfare payments. Formal support agencies, such as the Maternal and Child Health nurses were rarely approached to provide childrearing support beyond the initial months following birthing, since the teenagers' basic needs such as shelter, food and clothing took precedence over their parenting needs. Additionally, some nurses were perceived to hold judgmental attitudes towards teenage mothers. It was far easier to forestall confrontation with nurses and the other 'older' women clientele by avoiding them. Thus XI they turned to charitable agencies who provided a safety net in the form of emergency supplies of money, food, or equipment. Informal networks of friends provided alternative modes of support when family help failed to materialise. The children, however, provided the young women with an opportunity to transform their lives by breaking free of the past, and by creating a new, mature existence for themselves. Despite being abandoned by family, friends, lovers and society, in the privacy and isolation of their own homes, they attempted to provide a more nurturing environment for their children than they themselves had received. Each bestowed unconditional maternal love on the child and were rewarded through the pleasures of watching their children grow and develop into worthwhile individuals. The children became the focus of their attention and their reason for living. In the course of their welfare dependency, the young women became public property, targets of surveillance, and were subjected to stigmatising and condescending public attitudes wherever they went. In this way, it was evident that they were an oppressed group, but each found ways of resisting. Rather than focussing on their oppressive or disabling lives, or dwelling on their disadvantaged status, the young women sought their identities as mature women through motherhood and by demonstrating that they could do this important job well. Through motherhood their lives had meaning and a sense of purpose. The thesis concludes that motherhood in the teenage years is difficult. However, if appropriate supports are made available, teenage mothers need be no different from non-teenage mothers. But with state resources shrinking, and their own resources limited, teenage mothers are disadvantaged. In some ways, this study showed that all levels of support were inadequate, although those provided through the charitable organizations were seen to be the most appropriate. This reflects the current policy of economic rationalism adopted by most Western liberal democracies in the 1980s and 1990s and no less by the former Keating Labor Government in Australia.

AbstractSocial scientists study many different types of networks, from policy networks to sociotechnical networks, in order to better understand processes of change. These diverse networks have a number of characteristics in common, including interconnectedness, flows, and fragility. Exploring these characteristics in relation to smart grids helps us to better understand the social nature of energy sector innovation. In this chapter, I use these themes and concepts to assess three examples: international smart grid policy networks; a local community network on Bruny Island, Australia; and a fragile network, the digital metering programme in the State of Victoria, Australia.

AbstractJoseph Lade Pawsey was born in the Western Districts of Victoria (Australia) at Ararat on 14 May 1908, the only child of Joseph Andrews Pawsey (27 November 1865–30 June 1943) and Margaret née Lade (27 December 1879–8 August 1969). It was a humble enough beginning for a man who would have a life so different to almost all his countrymen. And yet Joseph Lade Pawsey’s individual experiences and unique career were shaped by the general trajectories of his generation. Spending money may have been very limited, and the family’s fortunes somewhat fragile, but the young “Lade” was nonetheless born into the growing social prosperity of a fresh new nation, the economic and technological growth of the twentieth century. He was a product, too, of the socially progressive values of the time, strongly reflected in his family (McCalman, 1993 and Bashford & Macintyre, eds., 2013).

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn this chapter, we explore supply chains with an interest in the complex conjunctions of practice, values and effects that their underpinning modernist imaginary of “seamless circulation” precludes from view. The agricultural landscapes of northwest Victoria provide a compelling vantage from which to ground truth and trouble the idea of seamless circulation and relatedly the idea that disruptions are merely technical blips in otherwise well-oiled machines. Working between the interpretive lenses of Anna Tsing and Bernard Stiegler, supply chains emerge as artefacts of distinctive social formations, conduits of colonial capital power, and ultimately distancing mechanisms that separate people from places and each other. Yet supply chains are also imperfect and incomplete in their operations, and it is this observation that provides for creative responses and the hope of reinvigorating more grounded approaches to the production of food and practices of feeding.

Full textAbstract:
The emergence and acceptance of social media have become a crucial aspect of daily lives in the worldwide population. As a result of this phenomenon, it is not surprising that customers’ buying patterns exhibit continuous change. For capturing the experience of consumers during their visit to a retail store, previous studies have proposed in-store customer experience (ISCX) scale from data captured through traditional methods like survey research. Accordingly, ISCX is conceived as a subjective internal response to and interaction with the physical retail environment. The present study builds upon prior research and we take the concept of ISCX with the purpose of developing an automated model for capturing ISCX from data collected through a social network like Facebook. This approach offers a low-cost, real-time alternative to traditional elicitation methods. We gathered data from English written contents by Facebook users and collected approximately 1,6 million comments made in public sites belonging to 50 companies worldwide (e.g. Clothing and jewelry retailers, whole Box and electronics Stores), including IKEA, Samsung, Whole Foods, Walmart, Tiffany, Victoria Secret, and Dillards. Five reviewers manually checked the messages filtered by the automated model, resulting in a high accuracy, confirming the high effectiveness of the model in classifying Facebook written messages. Keywords: Customer Experience; Machine Learning; Data Classification; Text Mining.

"Beyond the 1968 Battle between Housing Commission, Victoria, and the Residential Associations: Uncovering the Ultra Positions of Melbourne Social Housing." In The 38th Annual Conference of the Society of Architectural Historians Australia and New Zealand. online: SAHANZ, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.55939/a4022pplql.
Full textAbstract:
In 1968, the Housing Commission, Victoria, built a series of high-rise towers in response to an identified metropolitan planning issue: urban sprawl and the outward growth of metropolitan Melbourne. This “solution” precipitated a crisis in urban identity. The construction of the first of a series of these modern high-rise towers at Debney Park Estate, Carlton and Park Towers, South Melbourne displaced significant immigrant communities. This became the impetus for the formation of Residential Associations who perceived this project a major threat to existing cultural values pertaining to social and built heritage. This paper examines the extremely polarising events and the positions of both the Housing Commission and the Residential Associations over the course of fifteen years from 1968. The research is grounded in an historical review of government papers and statements surrounding the social housing towers, as well as scholarly articles, including information gathered by Renate Howe and the Urban Activists Project (UAP, 2003-2004). The historical review contextualises the dramatically vocal and well-publicised positions of the Residential Associations and the Housing Commission by reference to the wider social circumstances and the views of displaced community groups. Looking beyond the drama of the heated debate sparked by this crisis, the paper exposes nuances within the positions, investigates the specifics of the lesser known opinions of displaced residents and seeks to re-evaluate the influence of the towers on the establishment of an inner urban community identity.

Full textAbstract:
This paper seeks to ally the interdisciplinary frameworks offered by ‘Queer Ecology’ with an architectural inquiry to expand both fields. Queer theory alone offers scant discussions of material and architectural practices, while environmental discourse in architecture fails to address its role in ecological and social-political violence. A clothing-optional / cruising beach in rural Victoria, Sandy Beach also known as Somers Beach, exemplifies how the queer body’s navigation of space responds to complex ecological, urban, and social conditions. A queering of architectural definitions allows this site to be researched as a historically significant urban/architectural site of social and environmental value. It is suggested that the subtle yet complex practices of site transformations enacted through occupation are an architecture of environmental connective possibility. ‘Queered’ corporeality orientates the body and material practices towards assemblages where boundaries between humans and nature are transgressed, ultimately constituting a ‘queer ecological architecture’

Victoria University offers a Computer Science degree in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong program matches the one in Melbourne, but both the content coverage and the delivery model of the Hong Kong program are affected by expectations and demands of the Hong Kong government and students. The paper outlines challenges, legislative, cultural, quality, time and distance that shaped the program delivery model. It examines the social construction of the program curriculum, and identifies cultural factors that have had most impact in modifying the program. The paper regards distance education as an informing discipline and discusses the program delivery model in terms of the Informing Science Framework. It uses a Project subject to illustrate the model and rationale behind it, and comments on suitability of various multimedia components as program delivery vehicles. The paper concludes by considering the implications of the Hong Kong program experience on future directions in distance education.

Full textAbstract:
Students are a necessary part of the architecture profession. Their training and preparation have long been key to maintaining the business and culture of architecture, and in doing so perpetuating traditional territories that control the institutionalisation of a profession. Students have also created their own associations, often mirroring, and at the instigation of, their parent organizations. More often than not though, in addition to acting as social binders and playing out the role of disciplinary ‘club’, these associations have developed a critical voice, urging change and injecting critique: in short, setting the basis for the framing of a local discourse. Using its publications as primary source material, this paper explores the critical activities of the Victorian Architectural Students Society (VASS), which developed under the auspices of the Royal Victorian Institute of Architects (RVIA). VASS published its annual from 1908, which evolved by 1932 to become Lines and, then additionally in 1939, students Robin Boyd and Roy Simpson expanded VASS’s publishing remit, producing the oft-controversial fold-away pamphlet Smudges that infamously gave ‘blots’ and ‘bouquets’ to new buildings. In 1947, VASS published Victorian Modern, Australia’s first polemical history of modern architecture and in 1952, it was the first publisher of the influential journal, Architecture and Arts. This paper examines the shifting ambitions of VASS, its chief protagonists, the role of graphics and the deft blending of the social, satirical and the critical that eventually framed and shaped Victoria’s architecture culture after World War II.

Full textAbstract:
Declaring in the late 1950s that Sydney City was in much need of a car free civic square, Professor Denis Winston, Australia’s first chair in town and country planning at the University of Sydney, was echoing a commonly held view on how to reconfigure the city for a modern-day citizen. Queen’s Square, at the intersection of Macquarie Street and Hyde Park, first conceived in 1810 by Governor Lachlan Macquarie, remained incomplete until 1978 when it was developed as a pedestrian only plaza by the NSW Government Architect under a different set of urban intentions. By relocating the traffic bound statue of Queen Victoria (1888) onto the plaza and demolishing the old Supreme Court complex (1827), so that nearby St James’ Church (1824) could becoming freestanding alongside a new multi-storey Commonwealth Supreme Court building (1975), by the Sydney-based practise of McConnel Smith and Johnson, the civic and social ambition of this pedestrian space was assured. Now somewhat overlooked in the history of Sydney’s modern civic spaces, the adjustment in the design of this square during the 1960s translated the reformed urban design agenda communicated in CIAM 8, the heart of the city (1952), a post-war treatise developed and promoted by the international architect and polemicist, Josep Lluis Sert. This paper examines the completion of Queen’s Square in 1978. Along with the symbolic role of the project, that is, to provide a plaza as a social instrument in humanising the modern-day city, this project also acknowledged the city’s colonial settlement monuments beside a new law court complex; and in a curious twist in fate, involving curtailing the extent of the proposed plaza so that the colonial Supreme Court was retained, the completion of Queen’s Square became ultra – civic.

Since the end of 2021, the food crisis in Syria has worsened. Humanitarian agencies working in Syria, as well as other experts, have warned the food crisis could rapidly lead to famine unless immediately addressed. This brief describes the social and political dimensions of food insecurity in Syria. It provides insights into how territorial fragmentation affects wheat-to-bread systems, outlines key threats to wheat production, and sets out key considerations for the humanitarian sector, researchers, and donors responding to the crisis. Sources for this brief include published papers, reports, media articles, and open-source datasets. It also draws on consultations with farmers and other experts that were conducted in November and December 2021. Consultations were held across the three main areas of control in Syria: North East Syria, North West Syria, and territories controlled by the government of Syria. This briefing was written by Fadi Adleh (independent researcher) and Diane Duclos (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine) for the Social Science in Humanitarian Action Platform (SSHAP). It was reviewed externally by Edward Thomas (Rift Valley Institute) and support for field assessments was provided by Ali Ahmad (agronomist).

Full textAbstract:
Given the health, social, and economic upheavals of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is understandable anxiety about another virus, monkeypox, quickly emerging in many countries around the world. In West and Central Africa, where the disease has been endemic for several decades, monkeypox transmission in humans usually occurs in short, controllable chains of infection after contact with infected animal reservoirs. Recent monkeypox infections have been identified in non-endemic regions, with most occurring through longer chains of human-to-human spread in people without a history of contact with animals or travel to endemic regions. These seemingly different patterns of disease have prompted public health investigation. However, ending chains of monkeypox transmission requires a better understanding of the social, ecological and scientific interconnections between endemic and non-endemic areas. This brief is intended to be read in conjunction with the companion brief entitled ‘Social Considerations for Monkeypox Response’.1 In this set of briefs, we lay out social considerations from previous examples of disease emergence to reflect on 1) the range of response strategies available to control monkeypox, and 2) specific considerations for monkeypox risk communication and community engagement (RCCE). These briefs are intended to be used by public health practitioners and advisors involved in developing responses to the ongoing monkeypox outbreak, particularly in non-endemic countries. This brief on RCCE strategies for monkeypox response was written by Megan Schmidt-Sane (IDS), Syed Abbas (IDS), Soha Karam (Anthrologica), and Jennifer Palmer (LSHTM), with contributions from Hayley MacGregor (IDS), Olivia Tulloch (Anthrologica), and Annie Wilkinson (IDS). It was reviewed by Will Nutland (The Love Tank CIC/PrEPster) and was edited by Victoria Haldane (Anthrologica). This brief is the responsibility of SSHAP.

Full textAbstract:
Relief, rehabilitation, and recovery from climate emergencies require getting the governance of disaster and crisis management right. In Pakistan, there are five actions where response actors can either contribute directly, or facilitate action to enable effective interventions: Support the collection, coordination, and dissemination of data relating to the crisis; Help regenerate multi-sectoral cooperation and partnerships; Assist the vertical integration of institutions at the sub-national level; Urge coordinated resources across response actors: donors, government officials, and civil society; Strengthen social protection systems in the longer term. Most of these are familiar to those that work on humanitarian crises in Pakistan, but they represent unresolved bottlenecks in responding effectively to a crisis. Getting these areas of action right is critical for the current crisis and to prepare for other expected and accelerating climate emergencies. To expand on these five elements, this brief draws on the authors' experiences of national and international responses to previous disasters and their aftermaths in Pakistan. It was written by Shandana Khan Mohmand and Miguel Loureiro at the Institute of Development Studies, and was reviewed by Saba Aslam (Institute of Business Administration, Karachi), Luqman Hakeem, (UNICEF), Hayley MacGregor (IDS), Annie Wilkinson (IDS) and Olivia Tulloch (Anthrologica), and edited by Victoria Haldane (Anthrologica).

A pandemia de COVID-19 teve impacto profundo nos jovens na América Latina e no Caribe (ALC). Desde 2020, os jovens da ALC enfrentam muitos desafios, como adaptação aos ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem, perdas e depressão, o desemprego e muito mais, sem sinais claros de alívio. Embora as medidas sociais e de saúde pública instituídas pelos governos sejam necessárias para retardar a transmissão da COVID-19, em grande parte não consideraram as necessidades da população jovem. Com poucos apoios, os jovens tiveram que enfrentar a pandemia sozinhos. À medida que a resposta à pandemia evolui, surgem questões-chave para profissionais e governos, tais como: Que lições podem ser aprendidas a partir das perspectivas dos jovens sobre a resposta à COVID-19 até agora? E como podemos envolver melhor os jovens como parte da preparação e resposta à pandemia agora e no futuro? Este resumo baseia-se na literatura cientifica e cinzenta que explora como a COVID-19 afeta os jovens, bem como na literatura que descreve a resposta à pandemia na ALC e em outras regiões, e apresenta considerações sobre como envolver os jovens, vendo-os não apenas como uma parte da população afetada, mas também como parceiros na resposta. Destina-se ainda a orientar os atores humanitários, profissionais de saúde pública, defensores da juventude, profissionais de envolvimento da comunidade e outros envolvidos na resposta à COVID-19. Por fim, o resumo também contribui para a base de evidências existente sobre o impacto da COVID-19 nos jovens. Essas lições são úteis para fortalecer a preparação e as respostas programáticas aos surtos. Os jovens são classificados como indivíduos com idades entre os 10 e 24 anos. Principais considerações são compartilhadas para adolescentes (10-19 anos) e jovens (15-24 anos). Barbados e Brasil foram escolhidos como estudos de caso devido ao seu grande número de jovens (compreendendo pouco menos de 20% da população em ambos os países), bem como suas diferentes respostas nacionais à COVID-19, apesar de enfrentarem desafios semelhantes durante a pandemia.

Si bien las medidas sociales y de salud pública instituidas por los gobiernos fueron necesarias para frenar la transmisión del COVID-19, la mayoría de ellas no tuvieron en cuenta las necesidades de los jóvenes. Con poco apoyo, los jóvenes tuvieron que enfrentarse a la pandemia por su cuenta. A medida que avanza la respuesta a la pandemia, surgen preguntas clave para los profesionales y los gobiernos, como las siguientes: ¿Qué lecciones podemos aprender de las perspectivas de los jóvenes en la respuesta al COVID-19 hasta ahora? ¿Y cómo podemos involucrar de una mejor manera a los jóvenes en la preparación y respuesta a la pandemia ahora y en el futuro? Este informe se base en la literatura académica y gris que explora cómo el COVID-19 afecta a los jóvenes, así como en literatura que describe la respuesta a la pandemia en ALC y otras regiones. Presenta consideraciones sobre cómo involucrar a los jóvenes considerándolos no solo como parte de la población afectada, sino también como socios en la respuesta. El informe tiene por objetivo orientar a los actores humanitarios, los funcionarios de salud pública, los defensores de los jóvenes, los profesionales de la participación de la comunidad y otros involucrados en la respuesta al COVID-19. También representa un aporte a la base de pruebas existente sobre el impacto del COVID-19 en los jóvenes. Estas lecciones son útiles para fortalecer la preparación y las respuestas programáticas a los brotes epidémicos. Se consideran jóvenes las personas entre los 10 y los 24 años de edad.

Full textAbstract:
Author Cengiz Aktar argues that Turkey is witnessed a victory of a non-democratic system—and the majority of society supports this transition. The regime consolidates its discriminatory, oppressive, autocratic politics by gaining the support of non-AKP constituents through the discourse of “native and national.” Thus, the situation in Turkey is not a simple deviation from the norm; it is a more complex socio-political conundrum. In other words, the regime represented by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is not the reason for but the result of society’s mindset which is a reasonable part of the “Turkish malaise.”

Full textAbstract:
La informalidad es un fenómeno multidimensional y persistente en América Latina y el Caribe, que tiene diversidad de causas y consecuencias. Esta publicación enfatiza el papel de la política fiscal como determinante clave de los elevados niveles de informalidad observados en la región, ya que define los incentivos que enfrentan los diferentes actores involucrados. La principal conclusión de este trabajo es que no existen soluciones fiscales simples y generalizables para reducir la informalidad, sino que se requieren estrategias integrales y a la medida, diseñadas en función de los niveles de productividad de las empresas, la calificación de los trabajadores, las condiciones fiscales y la normatividad preexistentes. El diseño de estas estrategias integrales y a la medida debe considerar la viabilidad política y fiscal de las medidas propuestas. Además, estas deben ser consensuadas entre las distintas partes interesadas, a fin de alentar su sostenibilidad en el tiempo, y tienen que presentar una secuencialidad adecuada. Si bien para muchos países de la región el fin último de estas estrategias debería ser la reducción de las cargas explícitas e implícitas sobre el trabajo formal, particularmente entre trabajadores de bajos ingresos, es importante lograr victorias tempranas que generen una dinámica a favor de la formalización. En este sentido, la introducción o reforma de regímenes simplificados de tributación y el fortalecimiento de las administraciones tributarias son un buen punto de partida pues, además de ser mecanismos generalmente efectivos para reducir la informalidad, tienen bajos costos políticos y fiscales. En muchos países estas medidas podrían introducirse de manera inmediata, para luego avanzar en el rediseño de políticas tributarias, sociales y laborales, que impulsen reducciones en la informalidad de mayor envergadura y sostenibles en el tiempo.
