The Sense of Acquisition of Ideological and Political Education among College Students

In the era of information fragmentation, many things are ＂fragmented＂, including human cognition, emotion and value, which directly affects the sense of attainment of ideological and political education. People based on reality, with the theory of human needs and relative deprivation, provide academic support for the fragmentation of college students' ideological and political education. It challenges the students' sense of actual cognition, subjective experience and value identity, and provides infinite possibilities for teachers to innovate teaching resources, methods and models of ideological and political education. Ideological and political educators should follow the logical sequence from part to the whole, adhere to the organic combination of ＂fragmentation＂ practice and ＂integration＂ practice, make good use of the characteristics of the ＂fragmentation＂ era, and effectively enhance the sense of acquisition of college students' ideological and political education.

Processing Ambiguous Social Identity: Disclosure of Identity and Phenotypic Prototypicality Affect Processing and Evaluation of Persuasive Messages

Abstract This study investigates how news stories about models’ social identities, models’ actual social identities, and ease of categorization of models into societally predominant gender and racial categories affect processing and evaluation of persuasive messages. Participants read news stories about fashion companies that used transgender or biracial models in advertising campaigns or control stories and then viewed a series of still images edited to look like advertisements. Physiological responding and self-reported attitudes were recorded. Results indicated more positive evaluation of images preceded by news stories about models’ social identities compared to control stories. With a few exceptions, participants did not differ in their evaluation of images based on actual identity, although actual identity did affect processing. While participants responded positively to images with racially ambiguous models, they did not respond positively to images with androgynous models. Results are discussed in regard to theoretical and practical implications.

Enriching the narratives we tell about ourselves and our identities: an educational response to populism and extremism

The normative ideals of democracy, trust and respect are under threat from the forces of populism and extremism. I argue for a recalibration of some basic ideas in the moral and social domains in which each person sees her/himself as one among others. I defend 0093The Principle of Personal Worth0094 which asserts that persons are more valuable than non-persons such as nations, religions, ethnicities, tribes, gangs, and cultures. The 0091collectivist0092 mentality denied by this principle is often held up against a strongly (individualist) or atomistic one. However, these two extremes are not the only possibilities. Collectivism and identity politics link our identities to those associations and institutions with which we identify. This link is based on a confusion between qualitative and quantitative identity. Our actual (numerical) identities are determined by a combination of semantic (conceptual) and deictic (referential) factors, not by our qualitative associations. The Alt-Right combines extremes of individualism and collectivism by way of self-serving narratives that simultaneously elevate the individual over the State, and promote the agendas of specific religious, ethnic, gender and sexuality groups. These impoverished narratives support an impoverished sense of community which functions as an echo chamber for its own ideas, while rejecting those coming from beyond its boundaries. Ultimately, the task of repairing and reconstructing such narratives lies in formal education. Teachers and students need to enact forms of discourse and community which are intellectually, ethically and affectively powerful, both as tools for better teaching and learning, and as preparation for living worthwhile lives.

Rediscovering the Brothers Grimm of China: Lin Lan

AbstractThe concept of “fairy tale” was introduced to China in the early twentieth century. Subsequently, a wave of collecting and publishing fairy tales, along with other genres of folklore, spread all over China. By the early 1930s, the most influential editor in this folklore collection movement, with more than a thousand tales in multiple volumes, was Lin Lan. The tales were collected from everyday people in rural areas. These tales have demonstrated a continuing interactive history of oral storytelling and written records in Chinese history. By the late 1930s, many of the tales from the Lin Lan series had been introduced to the West. However, at the same time, questions about the actual identity (or identities) of “Lin Lan” and why the Lin Lan phenomenon occurred were never openly mentioned or discussed. Further, Lin Lan is still unknown beyond the Chinese-speaking world. This article revisits the Lin Lan phenomenon, examines the social background, and argues that Lin Lan should be appropriately acknowledged as the “Brothers Grimm of modern China.”

ГЕРМЕНЕВТИКА Х.-Г. ГАДАМЕРА ЯК ФІЛОСОФІЯ МОВИ

The sequential development of H.-G. Gadamer philosophical doctrine of language as the basis of its philosophical hermeneutics. The various stages of representations of the language are analyzed in connection with the criticism of the instrumental approach and understanding of the language as the foundation of historical discourse and poetic creativity. The latter is considered as the pre-reflexive basis of the language, a fundamental expression of its essence. Moreover, artistic experience is presented as a procedure for knowing the truth, to the extent that this experience contains understanding, it itself is a hermeneutical phenomenon.The linguistic turn, which marked one of the turning points in the development of modern philosophy, led to the formulation of a fundamentally new question about the essence of language. We are, of course, not talking about some kind of planned event or about any single process that coincides in its characteristics, or is something close to different philosophical directions. It is difficult to say how correctly it is to compare interest in language within the framework of linguistic philosophy and the phenomenological school, in the framework of which the development of hermeneutics took place.The latter, from a method that was essentially intended to serve historical-philological and religious discourse, hermeneutics has evolved into an independent philosophical discipline that reflects the very essence of metaphysical issues. First of all, this change is connected with the development of the phenomenological tradition, and especially with the works of M. Heidegger, who was able to free hermeneutics from the excessive influence of theories of language and to base it on metaphysical inquiry. This, of course, does not mean that the language itself has been given to philosophical oblivion; it is only a matter of changing the accents and research attitudes.This task, in our opinion, was set and largely solved by H.-G. Gadamer, in any case, if we accept his theoretical assumption about the transcendence of the meaning of the interpreter.Gadamer interprets the hermeneutic phenomenon very broadly, in which he sees the integral unity of the three aspects – understanding, interpretation and application. Gadamer argues for their inseparability, an actual identity: understanding is always an interpretation and always implies an application of what is to be understood. The concept of application in Gadamer outlines the limits of the phenomenon to be interpreted and establishes the fact that all phenomena of spiritual culture in a particular situation must be understood differently.

Overview on Dirofilaria immitis in the Americas, with notes on other filarial worms infecting dogs

Canine dirofilariosis in the Americas is primarily caused by Dirofilaria immitis, a mosquito-borne filarial worm infecting dogs, which may also infect and cause disease in other mammalian hosts, including humans. Morphological and molecular evidence gathered in the past decades suggest that other Dirofilaria spp. may infect dogs in the American continent, though the actual taxonomic identity of them still needs to be elucidated. In addition, filarial worms belonging to distinct genera have also been reported in dogs in this part of the world, including Acanthocheilonema reconditum, Cercopithifilaria bainae, and Onchocerca lupi. Among these, O. lupi is a species of major clinical significance, which has been reported not only in dogs, but also in cats and humans in North America. The present article provides a current overview on canine dirofilariosis in the Americas, with notes on other filarial worms infecting dogs. It also provides some insights into outstanding research questions that should be responded to fill some of the several knowledge gaps related to this group of parasites in this continent.

Omniscient gods and precision and intent in rituals: the case of Orthodox Judaism

ABSTRACT Social scientists who study the minds of gods claim that the omniscient gods of monotheistic religions are aware of the intent of their followers, unlike gods who are not omniscient. For this reason, omniscient gods do not place emphasis on their followers’ precision in carrying out rituals, focusing rather on the intent and/or identity of the practitioners. The present article challenges this perception by focusing on several spheres of Orthodox Judaism in Israel. In each of these spheres, less attention is paid to the actual intent and identity of those practising the ritual, with far more attention directed to not only the actual execution of the ritual, but also the precision with which it is executed. Moreover, when rituals of healing are involved, imprecise or incomplete execution of such rituals can be used to explain their failure.

Integrated morphological and ecological traits to identify Temnocephala digitata Monticelli, 1902 (Platyhelminthes, Temnocephalida) and neotype designation

Within the Platyhelminthes, Temnocephalida is a clade of continental turbellarians that establish an ectocommensal relationship with their hosts. Many species live associated with decapod crustaceans. In the Neotropical region, two species of Temnocephala are commensals on species of the shrimp family Palaemonidae. Temnocephala digitata lives on Palaemon argentinus and was originally reported from freshwater bodies connected to the Río de la Plata, in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. The original brief description of the species caused the name to be used incorrectly, creating confusion about the actual specific identity. Here we redescribe T. digitata based on morphological, biological and ecological features. Main morphological features of the reproductive system are the length of the cirrus and its introvert, as well as the number and disposition of its spines. Also, the female portion of the reproductive system lacks vaginal sphincters, which are otherwise well developed in the other species of the genus. The species is big and has the smallest adhesive disk reported for the genus, which allows firm attachment and active movements on the host surface. The egg capsules are fixed on the border of the gill chamber of the host. The prevalence, intensity, and abundance of T. digitata vary according to the size and sex of the host and throughout the year, with the highest prevalence, intensity, and abundance on ovigerous female hosts. This fact is related to the longer intermolt period of ovigerous hosts. These observations conform a solid redescription for a species with a tortuous nomenclatural history.

Attribute-Based Authenticated Group Key Transfer Protocol without Pairing

Group key establishment protocol is the primary requirement of several group-ware applications, like secure conferences, pay per view, collaborative work space that needs to establish a secure session among a group of participants. However, some of the applications often need to establish a secure session among the participants without knowing their actual identities. In such cases, the legitimacy of participants is decided based up on a descriptive set of attributes usually called as access structure. The participants should have sufficient set of attributes to satisfy the access structure, which are to consider as authenticated and eligible for the group conversation. This paper introducing an attribute based authenticated group key transfer protocol without using bilinear pairing. Group key management based on attributes gives fine-grained access control over the group of members that are authenticated by the set of attributes. The proposed protocol uses, Shamir Secret Sharing and elliptic curve arithmetic instead of bilinear pairing computations. The members are authenticated based on the access structure defined by the session initiator. The group key is securely transferred to only those participants, who are authenticated by their attributes. The authentication process of proposed protocol is information theoretically secure, while the key confidentiality relies on the intractability of Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem.

Framed to fit? Challenging the domestic abuse ‘story’ in child protection

The current framing of domestic violence generates profound problems for those concerned with supporting change for all involved. In particular, the stress on the ‘equal vulnerability’ of all women to domestic abuse, irrespective of economic or social circumstances, is out of line with a developing evidence base and deprives policymakers and practitioners of the conceptual tools that are needed to situate actual identities, choices and challenges with differing implications for women as well as men. In this article, we note the relative lack of attention in the UK to the work of international researchers on how gendered inequalities intersect with those arising from a range of others, crucially, class and ‘race’. This body of work also draws attention to the importance of understanding the impact of state interventions on marginalised communities, an area also neglected in the UK.

Marketplace Donations: The Role of Moral Identity Discrepancy and Gender

A demonstration field experiment in a live-radio fund drive shows that women (but not men) primed with moral traits give about 20% more. The authors test one understudied explanation for this finding: gender differences in how market behavior (e.g., giving and supporting a nonprofit) shrinks moral identity discrepancy (i.e., the gap between actual and ideal moral identity). Field Survey 1 demonstrates the basic effect: the less money women (but not men) have historically given on average to a nonprofit, the larger their moral identity discrepancy. Field Experiment 2 shows a managerial implication of this basic effect: when primed with moral identity, women (but not men) who have supported the nonprofit less frequently in the past are more likely to follow an emailed link to help the nonprofit again. Study 3 tests one possible pathway underpinning this finding: even though giving makes women and men experience similar feelings of encouragement and uplift and similar reinforcement of their moral identity, only women with larger prebehavior moral identity discrepancy consequently shrink this discrepancy.

Family rights-claiming as act of citizenship: an intersectional perspective on the performance of intimate citizenship

ABSTRACT Ethnographic and biographical research conducted with mixed-status couples and non-governmental organisations in France and Belgium provides insights into how the citizen partners of mixed-status relationships define and assert their family rights. In response to injustices suffered, from the state or from the migrant (non-citizen) partner, these citizens turned to organisations with contrasting discourses on marriage migration. These organisations encouraged them to participate in collective actions, and to give voice to their intimate experiences. Drawing on accounts of ‘intimate citizenship’, this article explores the citizenship-belonging nexus through lenses of performativity and intersectionality. Gender and ethnicity interact to influence interactions between citizen partners and the state, the tension between their virtual and actual social identities, and – ultimately – their assertions of citizenship, with personal status underpinning public claims. By speaking and acting in the name of their private lives and choices, these citizen partners affirm their (intimate) citizenship through its public performance.

The results of the interviews with the team manager are presented, as well as an analysis of the actual, desired and ideal corporate identity in order to foster creativity, encourage critical thinking and identify the elements of a new corporate identity.

On Anonymity and Appresentation

In his famous work on the stranger, Alfred Schutz focuses on the interpretative discrepancies between in-groups and out-groups from the per­spective of a stranger approaching a new group. In doing so, Schutz emphasizes that strangers can overcome their strangeness within a social group by adapting to the prevalent cultural patterns. Shifting the perspective from the stranger to the in-group this essay aims to argue that the experience of the Other’s strangeness due to a discrepancy of interpretative schemes is only one dimension of how the stranger is perceived in everyday life. A second dimension can be derived from Schutz’ work on appresentation. This essay will follow four analytical steps. First, this essay summarizes the Schutzian approach on perceiving the Other as a taken-for-granted part of everyday life within an assumed intersubjective understanding based on an assumed reciprocity of perspectives. Referring to Eberle’s description of an irreciprocity of perspectives, the second section analyzes the Schutzian stranger based on an intersubjective understanding. The third section then focuses on the appresentational pro­cesses of perceiving the stranger in everyday life. By using Goffman’s distinction between virtual and actual social identity, the interplay of categorizing and experiencing the Other in everyday life can be described. Finally, considering the question of how it comes that people can find themselves strangers in their own society, this paper closes by merging the argumentation with a description of the Schutzian perspective on the processes of stigmatization.

Medeni Kanun Kapsamında Erken Evlilik Yapan Olguların Sosyodemografik Özellikleri: Tek Merkez Çalışması

Amaç: Türk Medeni Kanunu göre erkek ve kadın on yedi yaşını doldurmadıkça evlenemez. Ancak, hâkim olağanüstü durumlarda ve pek önemli sebeple on altı yaşını doldurmuş olan erkek veya kadının evlenmesine izin verebilir. Bu çalışmada Medeni Kanun’a göre erken evlilik için müracaat ederek, adli tıbbi değerlendirmesi yapılan olgulara ait sosyodemografik özelliklerin incelenmesi amaçlandı.
 Gereç ve Yöntem: Türk Medeni Kanun’un 124. Maddesine göre erken evlilik için müracaat eden ve adli tıbbi değerlendirmesi yapılan 39 olgu çalışma kapsamında ele alınarak, yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim ve evlilik ile ilişkili sosyodemografik özellikleri araştırıldı. 
 Bulgular: Olguların tümü kadın olup, %53,8’i (n=21) gerçek doğum tarihleri ile nüfus kayıtlarının farklı olduğunu belirtti. Tüm olguların kemik yaş tespiti yapıldı ve %43,6’sının (n=17) kimlikteki yaşlarından ortalama 1,9 (±0,9; min:1, maks:4) yaş büyük bulundu. Olguların %69,2’si (n=27) ilköğretim mezunu olup, %94,9’u (n=37) eğitimini evlilik sürecinden bağımsız olarak daha önceden bırakmıştı. Olguların %46,2’sinin (n=18) evlilik yaptığı ve %48,7’sinin (n=19) gebe olduğu belirlendi.
 Sonuç: Bölgemizde medeni kanun kapsamında erken evlilik için müracaat eden olguların tümü kadın olup, önemli bir kısmı eğitimlerini ilköğretim seviyesinde bırakmıştır. Olguların neredeyse yarısının gerçek doğum tarihleri ile kimlik yaşları farklı olup ortalama iki yaş küçüktür.

Survey of Stigma (Erving Goffman), Pride Mark in Selected Iranian Contemporary Drama

Stigma refers to the different view of society to t marred identities. In such cases there is a difference between the potential identity and the actual identity. Those carrying a stigma try to resist public view about themselves by ignoring their position and showing new identities and behavioral characteristics. Social stigma creates unhappiness for a labelled person or community on social grounds that tries to distinguish them, from other portions of society. Stigma then can be attached to a person, by the greater society, who differs from their cultural norms. Social stigma can result from mental disorder, physical disabilities, diseases, illegitimacy, sexuality, beliefs, principles, religion, beauty, gender identity, parenthood, education, race, ethnicity, power, reputation, wealth, occupation, class, affiliation, brainpower or criminality. Attributes associated with social stigma often vary in different societies depending on the geopolitical and corresponding sociopolitical contexts. According to Erving Goffman, there are three forms of social stigma: Obvious deformations (such as wounds), corporal signs or physical and social disability. Variation in personal traits stigmatized in this way, including falling in a school exam, working a low wage job, single parenthood, economic failure, unemployment, welfare dependency, infidelity, mental disorder, drug addiction, and wrong background. Tribal stigmas are behaviors of a tribal group, ethnic, nationality, or religion that is believed to be a deviation from the general normative civilization. Gender is a more outstanding ground in Iranian contemporary drama than other types of stigma. This paper is a gender sociological review over the selected Iranian drama by using Erving Goffman Theory of Stigma. This paper considers stigma as Hamartia and then compares and categorizes different types of stigma between men and women in selected Iranian Drama by exploring the power of labeling in sexual relationships. Then, identity crisis and different ways of hiding stigma are explored: Including abiding behavior, alienation and passive manner toward others (spouse or father) among women; while men try to rebuild their identity and regain their credit. Stigma-related factors in men are more in connection with the external environment (culture, economics, and politics) and are often in interaction with their counterparts (men), while women are more stigmatized by physiological and marital relations or in interaction with the opposite sex. Omission, eject denial; ignoring privacy are the most common ways of dealing with stigmatized characters. Ultimately, stigma is about public control. A consequence of this is that stigma is necessarily a social happening. Without a society, one cannot have a stigma. What this article has added to Goffman’s Theory of Stigma is what we have called Pride Mark. To have a stigma, one must have a stigmatizer and someone who is stigmatized. In Pride Mark, one who has stigmatized is noble, enlighten, intellectual man, a person who is marginalized by society because of his superiority in knowledge.
