Full textAbstract:
Guaranteeing the availability of European labour markets constituted a very important element of the Polish foreign policy during the negotiation of conditions under which Poland would become a member of the European Union. At the time of the Polish accession, Poles as citizens of United Europe gained the right to take up legal work in other Member States. This opportunity was taken by Polish young people – “thirdgeneration emigrants” tempted by better earnings and prospects for the future. The proposed text is an attempt to capture migrants’ reality in the context of adaptative difficulties experienced by migrants with regard to globalisation-related transformations and the construct of a global teenager. The research results were obtained from two research projects carried out: (1) a research project carried out under the promotional grant in the years 2008-2012 (National Center for Science in Krakow – NN 106 348 140 (grant manager: Prof. Magdalena Piorunek, PhD) under the title: ‘Polish emigration and reemigration as an experience. Sociological and pedagogical aspect’, the results of which have been published in: Kozielska J., (2014) Post-accession migration. The theoretical and empirical context. Social support. The research sample in the quantitative analysis consisted of 174 persons who emigrated for at least one year and stayed in Poland for at least 6 months from the time of their return to the time of the research. The sample was targeted, and the target group consisted of return emigrants who emigrated during the pre-accession period and decided to stay in a European state rather than a “traditional” country of migration like the United States of America. The quantitative research was supplemented with a qualitative analysis of texts derived from hermeneutic methods, which included online forums (created by and for emigrants, both those who are still abroad and those who are planning to return or have already returned to Poland) and blogs containing fragments of emigrants’ biographies; (2) a research project carried out in London and Scotland under the POSTDOC scholarship of the Adam Mickiewicz University “Unique Graduate = Opportunities. An increase in the didactic potential of the Adam Mickiewicz University through proinnovative education in English, interdisciplinariness, e-learning, investment in human resources” under the title: ‘Transnational biographical counselling. A paradigm of qualitative research. An in-depth interview – 15 families with children (aged between 3 and 13 years) (2015-2017)’.

"Comparison of Social Inequality in Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccination among Teenagers with Parental Reports and Healthcare Providers’ Records in the 2019 National Immunization Survey-Teen."

Full textAbstract:
Background: Relatively little is known about social inequality in human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination among teenagers in the United States. This study aims to investigate whether there is a social disparity in HPV vaccination among teenagers and if so, whether it can differ according to the source of teen vaccination information (parental reports and provider records). Methods: We used the data from the 2019 National Immunization Survey-Teen (NIS-Teen; 42,668 teenagers, aged 13–17) including parent-reported vaccination status. Among them, 18,877 teenagers had adequate provider-reported vaccination records. Two socioeconomic status (SES) measures were used: mother’s education and annual family income. Multivariate logistic analyses were conducted. Results: False negatives of parental reports against provider records were more than two times higher (p < 0.001) in low-SES teens than in high-SES teens. In both SES measures, the proportion of HPV-unvaccinated teenagers was lowest at the highest SES level in analyses with parental reports. However, it was the opposite in analyses with provider records. Interestingly, regardless of the vaccination information source, the HPV unvaccinated rate was highest in the middle-SES teens (>12 years, non-college graduates; above poverty level, but not >USD 75 K). Conclusions: Significant social inequality in HPV vaccination among teenagers exists in the United States. The pattern of social inequality in HPV vaccination can be distorted when only parent-reported vaccination information is used.

This paper examines affiliation with the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement using the constructivism theory. The main finding presented in the paper is that the discrimination experienced by African Americans in the United States in the past two decades. The BLM movement's history was a response to the death of two black teenagers, Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, who were both unarmed and shot and killed. The most famous one happened this year, the death of George Floyd for the brutal police action by pressing the victim's neck with his leg until Floyd died. The second key finding is that BLM organizations generated more to frame the movement as a struggle for individual rights. Still, many youths assume that this movement is just a trend on social media. Finally, social media's influence where the spread of news, content, videos is the important point of the black lives matter movement in the US.

Full textAbstract:
Teenage pregnancy has a history of being a “social problem” in the United States, with there being higher rates in rural communities. Social support, a contributor to improving mental health outcomes, can significantly impact a teenager’s pregnancy and parenting experience. Using House’s (1981) social support framework, this study explores the teenagers’ perceptions of how their rural community reacted and responded to them as pregnant and parenting teenagers. The results were formulated through the thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews (n = 26) with current and former pregnant and/or parenting teenagers. The participants reported experiencing both positive and negative social support. There were more reports of emotional support and instrumental support among the forms of positive support than there were in the other categories. Informational support was lacking. The appraisal support from community members was negative. There is a need for rural communities to develop effective social support strategies to provide positive support for pregnant and parenting teenagers.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the problem of the studying of fashion and protests in the modern society.Within the work some classical and modern theoretical methods of the regarding of protests and the forms of their realization are viewed. It is stated that in the most cases a protest is studied with the observing of either common behavior or actions, public or social movements, or various ways of political involving and participating.Also, there the terms of ‘political participating’ and ‘political protest’ are differentiated in the modern political discourse.As a matter of fact, in the article it is proposed to consider ‘fashion’ as a complicated structured phenomena that, on one hand, is an innovation (an individualization) and, on the other hand, an inheritance (a massif dissemination, a social equalization).Likewise, there are analyzed possible variations of cooperation between fashion and protests under conditions of the progressing mobility. Hence, it is decided that fashion stimulates participants of actual protests and, at the same time, expands their number with so-called ‘passive component’. For example, the black color has united the most spectacular representatives of the cinema regarding one problem that is connected with the Golden Globe Film Festival. However, such a massif dissemination of the black dress-code could have made all the guests of the festival accept the common idea.So, it is concluded that the dissemination of protests causes the appearance of legitimate social movements and organizations, as well as destructive modes of common behavior. In the light of above mentioned, it should be stressed that teenagers are in the group of the most possible risk who are very active participants of meetings, tumults that provoke the spreading of antisocial behavior in the society.In addition, in the article is proclaimed the idea that the cooperation between fashion and protests in the modern mobile society is presented by two variants. They are ‘fashion in protests’ that is characterized by the presence of fashion symbols in any protest and ‘fashion problems’ that occur constantly.As for the first variant, a certain list of examples can be proposed: individual demarches, group and collective actions that expect their popularization in the entire society (or, at least, in some of its parts). Protest practices prove that this popularization is based on the transformed classical scheme of the existence and functioning of culture in the society (for example, the appearance of fashion symbols such as the orange color during the events in Ukraine in 2004).As for the second variant, we can suggest as an example the fact that at the end of the XXth century and at the beginning of the XXIst century were widely discussed problems of humans` and parents` rights, the support of healthy life style and etc. For this reason, there were the Movement for humans` rights, the Movement for parents` rights, the Life Without Drogues Movement, the Eco Food Movement and many others.

Full textAbstract:
In retrospect, I think that the fate that befell the social indicators ‘movement's rich array of economic statistics and related measures were simply inadequate indicators of emerging developments and issues under prevailing conditions of rapid social change and severe social strains. The felt need was for more adequate monitoring and reporting of social conditions and processes – implying a need to develop improved measures of these phenomena, together with expanded data collection capabilities. Thus the dual goals of the social indicators movement were apparent from the start: to establish an improved social reporting capability as soon as possible, and to encourage longer-term research and development in the general area of social, measurement and model-building. It may be helpful, therefore, to consider the outcome of these two efforts separately.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: In the United States, teen suicide rates tripled over several decades, but have declined slightly since the mid-1990s. Suicide, by its nature, is a complex problem. Many myths have developed about individuals who complete suicide, suicide risk factors, current prevention programs, and the treatment of at-risk youth. The purpose of this article is to address these myths, to separate fact from fiction, and offer recommendations for future suicide prevention programs. Myth #1: Suicide attempters and completers are similar. Myth #2: Current prevention programs work. Myth #3: Teenagers have the highest suicide rate. Myth #4: Suicide is caused by family and social stress. Myth #5: Suicide is not inherited genetically. Myth #6: Teen suicide represents treatment failure. Psychiatric illnesses are often viewed differently from other medical problems. Research should precede any public health effort, so that suicide prevention programs can be designed, implemented, and evaluated appropriately. Too often suicide prevention programs do not use evidence-based research or practice methodologies. More funding is warranted to continue evidence-based studies. We propose that suicide be studied like any medical illness, and that future prevention efforts are evidence-based, with appropriate outcome measures.

Full textAbstract:
In the India, more than 30 per 1000 live births of infants die each year before, during, or after birth as do many children with life- limiting conditions. In most countries in the developed world including the United States, the vast majority of infants, children and teenagers at end of life do not have access to multidisciplinary pediatric palliative care services in their community or at a children’shospital.
Pediatric palliative care is for children and teenagers suffering from life- threatening or life-limiting conditions in which survival into adulthood is or may be jeopardized if curative treatments fail. As a result, pediatric palliative care may last over many years.

Full textAbstract:
This article contributes to our understanding of how the motivation to migrate varies depending on the stage in the life course, particularly during the youth-to-adult transition. Using data from the Mexican Migration Project, we estimate discrete-time-hazard models of the probabilities of a first migration, using individual, household, community, and macroeconomic variables during and after adolescence for both men and women. We show that the determinants of migration are different for adolescents than they are for adults. While migration-related social capital has proved to be an important factor in increasing and perpetuating migration, we find that its effect is even stronger for teenagers than for other age groups. We also shed light on how adolescent migration is influenced by other major markers of the transition to adulthood, such as education, labor force experience, and family formation.

Full textAbstract:
Prior research has connected the cultural ideology of honor to intrasexual violence between men and to attitudes supporting intersexual aggression in response to perceived honor violations by female romantic partners. We extend this research to show that honor ideology is also associated with an increased likelihood of men actually engaging in violent and sexually coercive behaviors toward women. Extending previous research on honor-based schemas and scripts linked to relationship violence, comparisons between honor states and non–honor states in the United States show that official rape and domestic homicide rates by White male perpetrators (Study 1) and experiences of rape and violence in relationships anonymously reported by White female teenagers (Study 2) were higher in honor states, controlling for a variety of potential confounds. These results extend prior laboratory research on honor-based schemas and scripts into the realm of extreme, real-world behaviors.

The article examines the factors influencing the attacks by minors on educational institutions. The analysis of publications offering explanations and theoretical models of such crimes is performed. The authors present the results of their own qualitative analysis of data from an empirical study of 9 teenagers who attacked schools, and materials of criminal cases. The analysis is performed as part of a comprehensive forensic psychological and psychiatric examination. The data indicate the specific personality structure of adolescents and their existing mental disorders, as well as their special socio-psychological status in the classroom as outcasts and isolated. A compensatory mechanism of identity development is described with a focus on the role model of teenagers who attacked the Columbine school in the United States, and who imitated their actions. The role of the Internet in this process is evaluated. It is concluded that there is a need for a multidimensional analysis of such actions and appropriate preventive work.

Full textAbstract:
The unlimited usage of social media of teenagers is a pervasive problem across the world. Many researchers have found the explicable correlation between social networks and discrimination. However, the effect of social media on marginalized teenagers such as LGBTQ and disabled population is yet under-discussed. Adolescents are at a critical stage of physical and psychological growth and maturity, as well as sexual orientation. The LGBTQ+ community experiences a lot of stigmatization and discrimination, which affects their normal lives. Similarly, people with disabilities are also lagging behind in their development due to inadequate education and support. Hence, the present study aims to provide a holistic review of how social media affects adolescence’s discrimination among their LGBTQ and disabled peers. The conditions and plight of marginalized communities were first presented. Results implicate that social media could benefit marginalized group by offering a collaborative and united group in some extent. However, there are excessive amounts of long-lasting negative comments towards this population. The true mechanism and causation require further researches.

Teaching information verification skills has become increasingly important in the current post-truth era. Through surveys and interviews with teenagers and young adults in the Middle East and United States, this study explores the changing patterns of social media use for news and actions they take to verify news stories online. Findings show younger students are moving toward more visual platforms, such as Instagram, and private messaging apps to get news. Information verification activities, however, are more frequently practiced by older people who use Facebook and Twitter. Implications for journalism and mass communication curricula are discussed.

Despite a variety of differences in size, location, population characteristics, social organization, and cultural values and traditions, South Korea and the United States face dramatic increases in the numbers and proportions of older adults. Population aging raises profound questions about current and future eldercare arrangements in both countries. This article compares eldercare in the informal system of family caregiving and the formal system of government policies and public and private services in the United States and South Korea. Critical issues about changing conditions in each country and the impact of such changes for eldercare planning are addressed with attention to how the experiences of providing care for vulnerable elders in each country may be informative for the other.

Full textAbstract:
When it comes to American hip-hop music and rap music, people always think of the African American singers in loose clothes, the flashing lights on the dirty stage, all kinds of alcohol and cigarettes, as well as many drunken scenes. However, such a familiar scene is indeed an authentic portrayal of the United States. If you have heard about hip hop music, it is not difficult to find that many hip-hop lyrics are often full of dirty abuse, cold ridicule and sharp criticism. In a sense, hip hop music and rap music can be considered a kind of 'voice resistance' from the lower class of American society. However, it has not changed their current situation, and hip hop music and rap music are still regarded as inappropriate for children and teenagers. It is noteworthy that in recent years, with the popularity of hip-hop music, people from all over the world have gradually paid attention to this unique music style. At the same time, more and more people from the lower class of the United States are also be concerned by the U.S. government.

Full textAbstract:
Several themes run through this consideration of children with special health needs and their families. First, US programs tend to be fragmented in the sense that many geographic areas lack adequate services, and only partial types of family support and treatment services are available despite the relative breadth of family needs. Programs tend to be focused in the sense of separating children based on the specific health condition that they have, despite the similarity of issues for their families that cross diseases. This approach provides focused attention to high quality and high technology medical and surgical care and may lead to better physiologic outcomes, but it lessens attention to the issues that may help the child function effectively in society and grow into a participating young adult. For teenagers, focus on pregnancy prevention may take attention away from other pressing problems, such as substance abuse or sexually transmitted diseases. Hearing screening for school-aged children may take place isolated from intervention programs or from broader preventive health efforts. In Europe, the whole is more than the sum of its parts and the commitment to community-based preventive care assures children and families access to a wide array of preventive efforts. Second, the political will in the US emphasizes freedom of personal choice and individual and family responsibility. This issue of free choice is tempered by restrictions on access to contraceptive education and services for teenagers. But, in general, it limits public support for families with children with special health needs, emphasizing instead the family's responsibility to seek services and provide care, whether for the prevention or management of adolescent pregnancy or for the home and community management of children with complex physical health needs. Programs reflect the belief that families should meet their own needs. In Europe, in distinction, the social contract assumes that families with children with special health needs require additional resources from the community and fosters a broad base of financial support for families. Some conclusions may be drawn about the population of children with special health needs. First, insurance alone will not meet their needs. Other structures (with adequate funding) are needed to insure the development of systems of care, the availability of adequate preventive services, the development and maintenance of regionalized programs where necessary, and the assurance of quality. Second, prevention is relevant for all of these issues of children with special health needs, the prevention of adolescent pregnancy, the prevention of handicap for children with disabilities, or the prevention of dysfunction from a hearing impairment. Much prevention can be carried out at a community level. A broad-based effort reflecting community needs is preferable to fragmented prevention programs for specific issues. Third, a broad notion of children with special health needs is required, rather than a focused campaign on narrow problems. Families' reports of issues in raising children with diverse chronic illnesses and developmental disabilities reflect many similar problems: financing, respite care, physical burdens of care, lack of coordination of services, and limited access to many needed services. Fourth, regulation and regionalization may be necessary to assure access to appropriate services for all children with special health needs. Public planning and regulation are concepts that have been anathema in health policy in the last several years, yet they may be necessary to assure adequate services in all parts of the country.

Full textAbstract:
The article proposes a reading and interpretation of the generational conflict of the Sixties using rock music as its main source of investigation. Being halfway between mass consumption product and cultural product, the pop music of the time has significantly defined one of the generational narrations of the baby boomers, the counter-cultural one, which has become a generational myth, strong enough to darken other parallel narrations and annihilate those of the following generation. The lyrics of the songs, the musical scenes, the youth subcultures that sprung from them are analysed in their constant exchange with the youth of the time in the United Kingdom and in the United States. We can read in them the rapid changes that took a significant part of a generation from an empty aesthetic, according to the detractors, to the strong social and political commitment, imposing its will to emerge and to change the social patterns and first of all the bonds of the family defined in the first half of the twentieth century.

Full textAbstract:
This paper demonstrates the application of machine learning (ML) to predict patients with hypertension. The data was gathered from the New York City community health survey database for the 2018 survey year, which contains self-reported socio-demographic and health-related items. The study predicted individuals who were at risk of hypertensive conditions. Hypertensive respondents were identified using a battery of questions. The objective was to predict these individuals using social determinants of health (SDH) and clinical attributes. The analysis also shows the importance of clinical or pseudo-clinical measures to improve prediction accuracy. Our planet is under a severe pandemic, COVID-19. While this paper is on hypertension, a secondary conclusion was drawn. The world lacks a global database with clinical attributes for COVID-19 infected, recovered, and deceased patients. Machine learning with clinical data would immensely increase the potential for effective testing and a vaccine.

Objective. Study of the psychological well-being of children left without parental care in a children’s health camp in different social situations and in different social environments. Background. The negative effects of raising orphaned children in state institutions can be compensated by their stay in alternative socialization conditions, including in a children’s health camp. It is important to study the psychological well-being of orphans in a health camp as determining the effectiveness of their socialization. Study design. The paper studied the influence of two factors on the psychological well-being of orphaned children in the camp: the type of social situation and the composition of the social environment. The connection was checked by applying the Mann-Whitney U-test and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Participants. Students of centers for the promotion of family education (N=115) who are on vacation in children’s health camps in mixed groups (N=64) and in separate groups (N=51). Of these, 55 are boys and 60 are girls between the ages of 12 and 15. Camp counselors (N=15) from mixed (N=10) and separate (N=15) groups. Measurements. A survey using the method of self-assessment of emotional States by A. Wessman and D. Rix, including programmed observation. Results. The composition of the social environment is one of the factors that determine the well-being of children. Among teenagers in mixed groups (“family” teenagers and orphaned children), it is more favorable in the situation of communication with counselors, and less favorable in the situation of joint activities with peers. In groups consisting only of orphaned children, the well-being is more favorable in situations of joint activity and everyday communication. In General, orphaned children in separate detachments feel more comfortable compared to orphans in mixed detachments. There was a discrepancy between the assessment of psychological well-being by orphaned teenagers and the assessment of this well-being by counselors. Conclusions. The psychological well-being of orphaned teenagers in a children’s health camp is determined by two factors — the type of social situation and the composition of the social environment.

Full textAbstract:
We examined trends in the incidence and correlates of educational and skill mismatch in the United States. We focused on trends over time in the associations between various types of mismatch and a range of factors including contextual conditions. We explored whether contextual conditions at the transitional period from school to jobs increase or decrease the probability of mismatch and whether such relationships persist throughout the working career. Our central questions were how the incidence of and relationship between educational and skill mismatch in the U.S. changed between 1994, 2003, and 2012 and how this differed by age, gender, immigration status, educational attainment, and occupation. We used three cross-sectional surveys that had not previously been implemented for such an effort. These were the International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS) in 1994, the Adult Literacy and Life-skills (ALL) survey in 2003, and the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) in 2012. Repeated cross-sectional data provided us with substantial analytic leverage. Our findings point toward the key role of occupational or positional factors rather than individual worker characteristics as being most implicated in trends in mismatch. We describe the importance of our results for labor market theories.

Full textAbstract:
During a crucial period of United States history, 1880s–1940s, ideas developed in political economy were the core component of a transformation in the way Americans thought about the social and political order. These decades, the era of the elaboration in the United States and internationally of what historians of liberal reform thought refer to as the New Liberalism, were the site of a general reassessment of the constitutive ideologies, Smithian/Lockean liberalism, and a democratized, commercialized version of classical republicanism hanging over from the agrarian republic. Scary, unexpectedly turbulent conditions in an economy plagued by recurrent cyclical downturns in investment and employment, accompanied by unprecedented levels of social conflict, placed a premium on new knowledge. This need arose just as the academic professionalization of the social sciences, the rise of critical political journalism, and highly mobilized women's and labor movements began providing impressive new analytical talent. Efforts to find answers to pressing issues raised by the “social question” were intended initially by most of those involved as a salvage operation for what remained valid among key tenets of American liberalism regarding individualism, competition, the efficacy of the market, and the role of the state. Instead, they led ultimately to a reconstruction in public philosophy, at least on the scale of the one underway since the 1970s, with the “the return of the market,” the unprecedented sway of neoclassicism, and the multidisciplinary appeal of rational choice theory.

• Summary: An online survey was completed by Hmong women in the United States ( n = 186). The survey was distributed via listserves and websites frequently used by Hmong women, and solicited information about marital factors, presence and intensity of depressive symptoms, and socio-demographic circumstances. • Findings: The findings of this article indicate a significant relationship between marital abuse and depression among women married as teenagers when compared to non-abused women who married in adulthood. Excessive worry and feeling like everything takes great effort were the two most frequently reported indicators of depression reported by Hmong women in this sample. Additional marital and socio-demographic factors are explored in their relationship with depressive presentation. • Applications: These findings suggest that mental health practitioners working with Hmong women may need to be particularly attuned to issues of marital stressors related to traditional marriage practices and cultural stressors.

Full textAbstract:
To understand the conditions that give rise to parenting self-efficacy in Japan and the United States, the authors have investigated its relation to the perceptions of support available to mothers of children in the final year of preschool ( N = 235; n = 121 in United States, n = 114 in Japan). Hierarchical regression analysis indicates that in both countries, women who experience higher parenting self-efficacy report more positive childhood memories of parental support and greater satisfaction with husband’s and friends’ support. Mothers in the United States are significantly more self-efficacious than are mothers in Japan, even after controlling for the effects of the support predictors. A follow-up mediational analysis reveals that Japanese women’s lower levels of parenting self-efficacy are partially attributable to their low satisfaction with husband’s support.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyses a sufficient number of psychological literature on the problem of aggression. We have revealed the state of development of the problem under study in science, its conceptual and theoretical foundations, namely the following provisions: determination of personality behaviour by dialectical unity of external and internal (dependence of behaviour on biological and social factors); abrupt, stage personal development in ontogeny; personality development is caused by a complex influence on her psyche of heredity, environment, upbringing. The driving force behind personality development is contradiction. The development of aggression occurs in the process of socialization of the individual, and its manifestations depend on individual-psychological characteristics, social competence in the conditions of aggression, cognitive and psycho-emotional state, etc.We have found out that there are different approaches to the study of aggression, the reasons for its occurrence, to determine its nature and structure of aggressive personality behaviour. It has been established that, despite the controversy of this issue, its various interpretations, psychologists are united in the fact that aggression is a form of behaviour aimed at harming another living being. Aggressiveness is a personality trait that expresses readiness for aggression. Aggressive behaviour is a complex and multifaceted process that involves various factors, both social and biological. We have identified the prerequisites and causes of aggression in adolescence. The authors identified criteria and indicators that diagnosed the aggression of adolescents in two secondary schools: district and city. We found the levels of aggression in adolescents from both schools based on the interpretation of the obtained data. As a result of correlation measurements, we found a higher level of aggression in adolescents of urban school.

Full textAbstract:
Most explanations for the creation of new state institutions locate the cause of change in the conditions or characteristics of the states themselves. Some aspect of a state's economic, social, political, or military situation is said to create a functional need for the new bureaucracy which then is taken up by one or more domestic groups who succeed in changing the state apparatus. However, changes in state structure may be prompted not only by changing conditions of individual states but also by socialization and conformance with international norms. In the case of one organizational innovation recently adopted by states across the international system, namely, science policy bureaucracies, indicators of state conditions and functional need for these entities are not correlated with the pattern for their adoption. Instead, adoption was prompted by the activities of an international organization which “taught” states the value of science policy organizations and established the coordination of science as an appropriate, and even a necessary, role for states. This finding lends support to constructivist or reflective theories that treat states as social entities shaped by international social action, as opposed to more conventional treatments of states as autonomous international agents.

Disasters are a series of events that threaten, disrupt people's lives and livelihoods which are caused by natural, non-natural and human factors, resulting in casualties, environmental damage, losses and psychological impacts. Natural disasters have prompted Twitter social media users to upload information about the conditions of areas affected by natural disasters in pictures or only text of the disaster site. At that time, the researcher proposed to analyze the behavior of Twitter social media users towards education levels in Indonesia and the United States. This research provides an overview of the facts about the content shared on Twitter social media, and provides a solution for the extraction of geospatial content on Twitter social media. From the processing of data from Twitter social media, it can be seen that there is no difference in the relationship between Twitter social media users and education levels in Indonesia and the United States and more geospatial information content in the United States than in Indonesia.

Objective: Informed by a social determinants of health framework, we investigate the relationship between self-reported ADHD diagnosis status and adult health, and whether observed associations are attenuated by biomedical and socioeconomic factors. Method: Using 2007 National Health Interview Survey data ( N = 19,104), we present multivariate logistic regression analyses of associations between self-reported ADHD diagnosis status and five adult health outcomes. Results: ADHD diagnosis was significantly associated with higher odds of injury, physical health conditions, functional limitations, fair/poor health, and psychological distress in fully specified models (adjusted odds ratios [AORs] = 1.62-2.36). Inclusion of controls for exogenous demographic characteristics, psychiatric comorbidities and health behaviors, and adult social and economic statuses attenuated but did not eliminate observed associations between ADHD and poorer adult health. Conclusion: Research on adult health outcomes for those with ADHD should include consideration of the mechanisms by which a diagnosis of ADHD leads to cumulative social disadvantages that independently contribute to poorer health outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
Indonesia has a rich and intricate history, with one notable period being the 1997-1998 economic crisis. Originating from Thailand, the economic crisis spread to neighboring countries, including Indonesia. Despite seeking assistance from the IMF to mitigate the crisis, Indonesia struggled to revive its economy. This article seeks to address the role of the United States in IMF policies during the 1997-1998 economic crisis in Indonesia. This research tackles the following key questions: (1) What were the socio-economic and political conditions of Indonesia during the 1997-1998 crisis? (2) How did the United States respond to Indonesia's conditions during the crisis? (3) What influence did the United States wield over IMF policies in dealing with Indonesia's economic crisis in 1997-1998? This study employs historical research methods, including topic selection, heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The findings reveal several significant points. Firstly, the depreciation of the rupiah against the dollar led to price hikes in basic commodities, widespread layoffs, and social unrest, ultimately resulting in Soeharto's resignation as president on May 21, 1998. Secondly, the United States responded to Indonesia's economic and political conditions due to perceived deviations from democratic principles, human rights violations, and its interest in safeguarding American investment projects in Indonesia. Thirdly, the United States pressured Indonesia to accept IMF conditions and abstain from implementing the CBS system. Soeharto's resignation as president was also influenced by the United States, leveraging human rights issues and the promotion of democratic values.

Full textAbstract:
Prevalence of single and multiple chronic conditions continues to increase in the United States. Chronic conditions predict significant morbidity and health care costs, especially when complicated by additional conditions. Likewise, many conditions are linked to health risk behaviors, and thus amenable to prevention. We examine regional differences in prevalence of single and multiple chronic conditions. In the process, we examine the ability of health risk behaviors to predict condition prevalence in each region. We recommend national prevention strategies with targeted content for specific geographic regions. We used 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data ( N = 432,607) for all analyses. After grouping states into nine U.S. Census divisions, we fitted generalized linear mixed regression models and compared regional odds ratios with national averages. Analyses controlled for helpful and harmful behaviors, health insurance coverage, and demographic characteristics. Odds ratios for single and multiple chronic conditions deviated significantly from national averages in all nine regions. Health behaviors significantly predicted prevalence for both single and multiple conditions within regions, but differences in behaviors between regions did not fully account for observed disparities in prevalence. Significant regional differences in disease prevalence suggest priority areas for prevention efforts. Promoting healthy behaviors and mitigating harmful behaviors in high-risk regions may help to reduce overall chronic condition prevalence, but is unlikely to obviate disparities between regions. Targeted needs assessment should be conducted within each region with higher-than-average risk to determine intervention strategies with the greatest likelihood of near-term impact.

Full textAbstract:
The sociology of social movement in Japan has recently been expanding. The field has been revitalized by the introduction, mostly by the younger generation, of the resource mobilization model. The situation is parallel to that in the United States. However, Japan and the United States have differences in their respective histories of social movement and in the research done on the phenomenon. A proper understanding of the current state of the sociology of social movement in Japan, and its prospects for the future, is impossible if these differences are ignored. This paper attempts to describe the actual changes in the conditions of society affecting movements, and to place the study of movements within that perspective. In other words, the analysis of the study of social movements in Japan undertaken here is also a kind of exercise in the sociology of knowledge.

It will then describe a model training program that was designed to educate social workers and nurse practitioners to create a workforce able to address child behavioral health inequities in the United States (US), specifically New York State. Behavioral health care refers to prevention, care and treatment for mental health and substance abuse conditions as well as physical conditions caused by stress and life crises. This project uses an interdisciplinary training program for nurse practitioner and Master of Social Work students to address workforce shortages in underserved communities in New York State. It will present process evaluation findings to highlight the program’s initial success and will conclude with a discussion of the data that are still needed and the challenges of obtaining this data.

Abstract Recent social and economic trends in the United States, most importantly the increased marketability of local heritage and the national dialogue on identity, have contributed to the proliferation of historical exhibits in the United States, often in nonmuseum spaces like retail and service settings. Scholarship on historical exhibition, however, has largely focused on exhibits in large, professionalized museums. Dividing exhibit types into categories of academic, corporate, community, entrepreneurial, and vernacular, this article explores the diverse ways in which the exhibition medium emerges from different settings, social conditions, and epistemologies.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article reexamines a highly public dispute between a powerful and well-connected Episcopal bishop and his missionary priest, men both central to the government’s campaign of war and assimilation against Indigenous Peoples in the Northern Great Plains of the nineteenth-century United States. The bishop claimed that the priest had engaged in sexual intercourse with a Dakota woman named “Scarlet House,” and used this allegation to remove the priest from his post. No historian ever challenged this claim and asked who Scarlet House was. Employing Dakota-resourced evidence, government and church records, linguistics, and onomastics, this study reveals that in actuality there was no such person as Scarlet House. Furthermore, at the time of the incident, the person in question was not a woman but a child. The church created a fictional personage to cover up what was taking place at the agency: sexual violence against children. After “naming” this violence, this article makes four key historical contributions about the history of US settler colonialism: It documents Dakota Peoples’ agency, by demonstrating how they adapted their social structures to the harrowing conditions of the US mission and agency system. It situates the experiences of two Dakota families within the larger context of settler-colonial conquest in North America, revealing the generational quality of settler-colonial violence. It shows how US governmental policies actually enabled sexual predation against children and women. And, it argues that “naming violence” means both rendering a historical account of the sexual violence experienced by children and families in the care of the US government and its agents, as well as acknowledging how this violence has rippled out through communities and across generations.

Full textAbstract:
A combination of demographic aging and diversification, volatile business cycle conditions, stagnant real wages, declining employment, and policy choices have increased the need to examine the adequacy of the U.S. social safety net. Is it accomplishing what it is designed to do? Can it weather a fiscal storm? Current “entitlement” programs are in almost all cases providing important assistance to U.S. families and are improving families’ well-being, but they face significant challenges that will require the attention of policy-makers around the country. Some programs may need a structural revamping, while others could do with incremental modifications. Because U.S. entitlement programs address complex social issues, they are themselves complex systems; it follows, then, that meaningful reform must be thoughtful and nuanced, eschewing political expediency. Further, federal support is needed for even more high-quality research that will provide evidence on the types of reforms that will achieve the goals of the programs.

Full textAbstract:
Public acceptance of conditionally automated vehicles is a crucial step in the realization of smart cities. Prior research in Europe has shown that the factors of hedonic motivation, social influence, and performance expectancy, in decreasing order of importance, influence acceptance. Moreover, a generally positive acceptance of the technology was reported. However, there is a lack of information regarding the public acceptance of conditionally automated vehicles in the United States. In this study, we carried out a web-based experiment where participants were provided information regarding the technology and then completed a questionnaire on their perceptions. The collected data was analyzed using PLS-SEM to examine the factors that may lead to public acceptance of the technology in the United States. Our findings showed that social influence, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, hedonic motivation, and facilitating conditions determine conditionally automated vehicle acceptance. Additionally, certain factors were found to influence the perception of how useful the technology is, the effort required to use it, and the facilitating conditions for its use. By integrating the insights gained from this study, stakeholders can better facilitate the adoption of autonomous vehicle technology, contributing to safer, more efficient, and user-friendly transportation systems in the future that help realize the vision of the smart city.

Full textAbstract:
The United States is the only country to admit the majority of its immigrants on the basis of kinship ties. Although policy makers typically view family migration as less favorable and assume that family immigrants do not contribute to the U.S. economy, this argument is oversimplified and ignores the role of gender and the various ways that family immigration works. This study captures the multiple aspects of immigrants’ entry visas and its intersection with gender to examine the employment behavior of college-educated immigrant men and women who arrived in the United States via several family-based and skill-based categories. Using nationally representative data from 2010, 2013, and 2015 National Survey of College Graduates, the author finds that immigrants’ initial entry pathways into the United States continue to stratify their employment behavior and trajectories, especially for immigrant women. The conditions of family-sponsored immigration matter; temporary migration as a spouse is negatively associated with immigrant women’s employment but not permanent family migration.

The economist Amartya Sen has said that world development ought to focus on the capabilities that people achieve, and not simply on aggregate economic indicators. In that spirit, the United Nations since 1990 has published several Human Development (HD) reports that assess nations in terms of health and education conditions, as well as income or wealth. Many countries have assessed their own HD. In The Measure of America, Sarah Burd-Sharps, Kristen Lewis, and Eduardo Borges Martins apply this approach to the United States. They describe variation in health, education, and income conditions across American states, congressional districts, and social groups.
