Resilience mediates the prediction of alienation towards parents on subjective well-being in rural left-behind children: a 12-month longitudinal study.

Parent-child relationship is critical for children's well-being. In China, the large number of left-behind children (LBC, one or both parents leaving for work for at least 6 months) raises public concern. Although LBC often report poor mental health status and higher alienation towards parents, the dynamic trend of subjective well-being in this population, as well as the prediction of alienation towards parents on LBC's subjective well-being, remain unrevealed. This study aimed to examine the dynamic trend of subjective well-being in Chinese LBC and further explore the predictional influence of alienation towards parents, with resilience as a potential mediator. We recruited 916 rural LBC in China and investigated them at five waves (baseline, and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months later) using Inventory of Alienation towards Parents (IAP), Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents (RSCA) and Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS). We used hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) for analysis. At baseline, no significant differences were found in the scores of alienation towards parents, resilience, and subjective well-being on gender, grade, or type of LBC. A significant correlation existed between the scores of alienation towards parents, resilience, and subjective well-being. HLM showed a linear increase in the subjective well-being of rural LBC. Alienation toward both mother and father negatively predicted the developmental trajectory of children's subjective well-being over 12 months. Moreover, resilience partially mediated this prediction. This study is among the first to reveal that alienation towards parents predicts the developmental trajectory of later LBC's subjective well-being, with resilience as a mediator. These findings warrant the necessity of paying attention to alienation toward parents to ensure the mental health of LBC, giving valuable guidance to parents, schools and governments.

Представление о «своем» и «чужом» при описании болгарских женщин в русской публицистике рубежа XIX–XX вв.

The paper discusses descriptions of the status of the Bulgarian woman in travelogues and publications published at the turn of the 20th century and intended for a wide range of readers. They did not pay much attention to this issue, yet it is possible to identify common features: they recognized the low level of natural beauty of Bulgarian women, noting it was rapidly lost due to continuous work. A lot was said about the hard work of Bulgarian women, which testified to the positive connotation of this, it became a symbol of “own”. High moral bearings of the Bulgarian society were described accordingly. At the same time, the subordinate position of the Bulgarian woman was characterized as the influence of an “alien”, Turkish. The presence of brothels was also explained through the “alien”, but already Western, influence. Many of the stories are confirmed by other sources and took place in reality, but it is the semantics of the texts that are noteworthy. The symbolic description of a young, healthy people who had experienced alien influences painted a picture of “one`s own” people, but cleaner and morally healthier. In fact, we see an image of “own”, Russian, youth irretrievably lost as Europeanization and modernization took place.

Climate Smart Aquaculture for Poverty Alleviation

Climate change is one of the main obstacles to ensuring food security and it is crucial to know how the effects of climate change will affect the world's agricultural industry. Climate may change as a result of biological, geographical, and human forces (anthropogenic), Astronomical phenomena, alien influences, and volcanic eruptions are examples of nature activities. Aquaculture system ensure continuous yield of seafood product. For aquacultures to achieve success, aquaculture practice must be supported by climate smart innovation to achieve sustainable production, alleviate poverty, achieve climate resilience and food security, the government and other stakeholders should adopt climate smart fish farming and strictly adapt to the measures to mitigate climate change effects. This Review highlight the importance of climate smart aquaculture as solution to ensure food security and eradicate poverty.

The influence of social alienation on maintenance hemodialysis patients' coping styles: chain mediating effects of family resilience and caregiver burden.

Research on the possible impact of social alienation, family resilience, and caregiver burden on the coping styles of Chinese patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) is scarce. We explore the influence of social alienation, family resilience, and caregiver burden on the coping styles of MHD patients, both directly and indirectly. We invited 173 MHD patients and their primary caregivers for a cross-sectional study; the study using convenience sampling method at the hemodialysis center of the First People's Hospital of Foshan. The Chinese version of the generalized social of alienation scale, the Chinese version of the simplified coping style questionnaire, and a sociodemographic questionnaire were completed by the MHD patients, while their primary caregivers had filled out the Chinese family resilience assessment scale, the Chinese version of the Zarit caregiver burden interview, and provided socio-demographic information. SPSS macro program PROCESS v3.3 Model 6 were used for analyses of chain-mediated effects. In the mediating effects model, the direct influence of social alienation upon coping styles was significant (95% CI -0.050, -0.014), and social alienation indirectly impacted coping style by family resilience in a significant way (95% CI -0.012, -0.001) or caregiver burden (95% CI -0.013, -0.001). In addition, social alienation significantly impacted coping style by both family resilience and caregiver burden (95% CI -0.008, -0.001). Social alienation can exert both a direct and indirect influence on coping styles through the mediating factors of family resilience and caregiver burden. Clinicians can take interventions to strengthen family resilience and reduce caregiver burden, which may be useful in improving socially isolated behaviors and coping skills in MHD patients.

A membership for quality of life? The mediating effect of job satisfaction between work alienation and life satisfaction in unionised and non-unionised workers

People spend a large part of their awake time at work, which can have a huge impact on their life satisfaction. Scholars have found that job satisfaction influences life satisfaction, but the role of work alienation is little studied. While work alienation reportedly diminishes life satisfaction, just how job satisfaction relates with these two constructs has not yet been clarified. Currently, the role of labor union membership is an underestimated aspect of this relationship. Although the relationship between union membership and job satisfaction has been variously studied, its relationship with other variables (e.g., work alienation and life satisfaction) remains less investigated. To fill this gap, the authors examined the influence of work alienation on job and life satisfaction in relation to belonging or not to a public administration workers’ union. Self-report questionnaire responses (N=479) indicated a negative relationship between work alienation and job satisfaction and a negative influence on the overall quality of life. However, the relationship between work alienation and life satisfaction was moderated by union membership. Union memberships mitigated the negative relationship between work alienation and life satisfaction and may be considered a protective factor for workers’ quality of life.

Push and Pull Factors Influencing Migration among Tribal Agricultural Labourers : A Critical Gender Analysis

The present study has been done on the basis of qualitative and quantitative data collected from primary sources and explored the pattern of migration among tribal agricultural labourers, the push and pull factors associated with migration and the infl uence of social discrimination and land alienation leading to migration of tribal labourers. About 55 per cent of the country’s tribal population now resides outside their traditional habitats. While men were generally daily and seasonal migrants, women migrated permanently after marriage. Migration is associated with many economic, social, physical and political factors. While considering the male agricultural labourers, the major push factors forcing them to migrate were low wages, unemployment due to seasonality of jobs and growing indebtedness and the pull factors included better opportunity for higher wages, better employment opportunities and job security. In the case of female agricultural labourers, decline of natural resources, indebtedness, natural calamities and unemployment were the major push factors for migration and pull factor was dependency movement. While social discrimination, land alienation and substance use had a positive and signifi cant eff ect on migration, self-confi dence, health and nutrition, access to common property resources, political orientation and awareness about the about the developmental programmes and their rights had a negative and signifi cant eff ect on migration.

Peer Attachment and Proactive Socialization Behavior: The Moderating Role of Social Intelligence.

Proactive socialization involves an active attempt to integrate into an organization, which can help an individual complete the transition from student to employee. This study—conducted via a survey involving college graduates (one year after graduation)—explores the peer attachment influence mechanism on proactive socialization behaviors and the moderating effects of social intelligence. The results of the empirical analysis show that core self-evaluation has a mediating effect between peer attachment and individual proactive socialization behavior. Peer trust and peer communication can improve individual proactive socialization behavior by enhancing core self-evaluation, but peer alienation may reduce core self-evaluation and inhibit individual proactive socialization behavior in the workplace. Social intelligence has a moderating mediating role between peer attachment, core self-evaluation, and proactive socialization behavior. High social intelligence may enhance the indirect influence of peer trust and communication on proactive socialization behavior through core self-evaluation and weaken the indirect influence of peer alienation on proactive socialization behavior through core self-evaluation. In recruitment and selection, organizations can predict the proactive socialization behaviors of candidates by investigating their peer relationships, and can also strive to create a harmonious working atmosphere and relationship to help new employees integrate into the organization.

Alienation as a trait of personality of doctors in literary works of A.P. Chekhov

The purpose of this study was to identify how alienation in the works of A.P. Chekhov is associated with the images of doctors. With the help of systematic, comparative-historical methods and the method of artistic analysis, the images of doctors in the stories "Wife" and "Enemies", in the play "Uncle Vanya" and other works were considered. Alienation, understood as the impossibility of full contact with other people, distance from society and from loved ones, loss of the ability to sympathize with other people's problems, was one of the most important motives for A.P. Chekhov, through the prism of which images of a variety of characters were perceived. In the context of the images of doctors, alienation acquired a special sound. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the fact that it for the first time examines the images of doctors created by A.P. Chekhov in the context of alienation, reveals the influence of alienation on the personal and professional development of a doctor. The writer believes that a doctor has no right to experience alienation, to distance himself from people. Alienation is disastrous for a doctor and leads to his degradation as a person and a professional; he ceases to feel sympathy and loses the ability to help people by treating them physically and spiritually. The reason for alienation can be negative social factors: hard work, constant fatigue, material need. In the story "Enemies", A.P. Chekhov shows how alienation is born, in the play "Uncle Vanya" – how a doctor who has succumbed to alienation degrades. In the story "The Wife", Dr. Sobol relieves the alienation of the main character, engineer Asorin. The humanistic nature of the medical profession, according to the writer, cannot be combined with alienation.

Research on the Mechanism of Parent-Child Attachment to College Student Adversarial Growth.

This study explores the impact of parent–child attachment mechanisms on adversarial growth among Chinese students. After Chinese college students start independent life away from their parents, they face adversity on their own. However, their original family always influences students’ methods for dealing with adversity and how they grow and mature. A survey of 364 college students found that parental trust and communication have positive impacts on adversarial growth through the improvement of self-identity, while parental alienation reduces self-identity and contributes negative effects on the adversarial growth of college students. Internal control personality has a negative moderating effect between parental trust, parental communication, and adversarial growth and a positive moderating effect between parental alienation and adversarial growth. Low internal control personality therefore has a positive influence on parental trust and communication on adversarial growth and decreases the negative influence of parental alienation. A substitution effect between internal control personality and parental attachment was also found. Different child personality requires different type of parent–child attachment relationship to maximize their ability to handle future adversity.

ICT Use Behaviour and Student Alienation

Covid-19 taught us the importance of personalized ICT use in the higher education context. In this scenario, the importance of researching student's ICT behaviour is becoming ever more crucial. This study investigates the influence of student alienation (SAL), socio-economic status, residential background, type of course, and gender on students' ICT use behaviour. 704 Kashmiri university students responded to an offline survey comprising two scales: Students ICT use scale and student alienation scale. The results showed that SAL has a negative relationship with student’s ICT use for education and capital enhancement. Students differed in their ICT behaviour based on gender, type of course, and residential background. Socio-economic status was positively correlated with ICT use for education and entertainment. These findings highlight the nuances of ICT use behaviour among young university students. The implications and future research directions have been discussed.

Абсолютные обособленные обороты в русской поэтической речи от Кантемира до Лермонтова

The paper presents the analysis of the constructions with absolute (independent) isolated phrases extracted from the poetic texts of Russian poets of the Baroque, Classicism, Sentimentalism, and Romanticism. The use of an independent dangling participle was supported by the old Slavic tradition of the independent dative case and, already in the old Russian era, an independent dangling participle was often replaced by the construction with a frozen active participial inseparable nominative (adverbial participle), leading to more active absolute functioning of independent dangling participles. On the one hand, the history of independent isolations in Russian poetic speech from Kantemir to Lermontov demonstrates the scope of the language experiment on the “introduction” of syntactic Gallicisms of various types into the Russian speech – participial, adjective, substantive (in the form of applications and segments), pronominal ones. On the other hand, it shows a narrow timeframe of this entry of “agrammatic” (i.e., breaking the linear chain of traditional subordinating synthetic connections) elements into the language, as well as strong resistance to using non-Russian constructions. Experiments with absolute isolation are vivid evidence of the increasing tendency towards analytism in the evolution of the Russian literary language of the New Time and, at the same time, strong and victorious resistance to these tendencies on the part of a grammatical system protecting its traditional synthetic bases from the alien influence.

ФОРМУВАННЯ СОЦІОТИПУ ТА ЙОГО ЕКОНОМІЧНОЇ КУЛЬТУРИ СПОЖИВАЧА: НЕЙРОЕКОНОМІЧНИЙ АСПЕКТ

У роботі детально розглянуто одну з особливостей центральної нервової системи людини – мережу пасивного режиму роботи мозку та її вплив на формування соціотипу споживача і його культури споживання результатів економічної діяльності суспільства. Констатовано, що економічна культура споживача – це базис для формування та апробації поведінкових патернів і реакцій, що виникають як наслідок інформаційного метаболізму в процесі сприйняття інформації про оточуючі товари, роботи чи послуги. Визначено, що людина, яка від самого раннього дитинства займалася активним саморозвитком власної дефолтної нейронної мережі, досягаючи дорослого віку, має більш чітке та гнучке мислення, так званий «прогресуючий» підтип особистості. В іншому разі формується зовсім новий, протилежний попередньому підтип особистості – «регресуючий». Виявлено, що для «прогресуючого» підтипу особистості характерно формування таких рис економічної культури споживання, як вибірковість, упередженість, критичне ставлення як до товару, так і до маркетингових ходів, самодостатність до власних потреб. Для представників другого («регресивного») підтипу особистості характерні прискіпливість, вимогливість до інтерактивної подачі інформації про товари і послуги, кліповість мислення, імпульсивність. Визнано, що найкращим управлінським рішенням для «прогресивних» споживачів є використання методу, який запропоновано назвати «шведський стіл тут і зараз». Окреслено, що одним із способів вирішення проблеми «регресуючого» типу споживача є спільна кооперація з органами влади з питань, що стосуються управління продажами, як це відбувається за традиційною японською концепцією маркетингу. Представникам органів влади варто підтримати менеджерів із продажу та маркетологів створенням законодавчих актів, що регулюють, наприклад, питання стосовно професії відеоблогерів як потенційних партнерів маркетологів. Окрім того, за результатами дослідження пропонується розглянути більш детально шляхи вирішення за стандартним підходом і за вдосконаленою авторською методикою по кожній з особливостей економічної культури споживання для обох типів класу.

Conclusion: We conclude that the non-conscious use of digital resources can lead to a state of alienation by the Digital Dependence that can cause emotional impacts on people with ADHD.

МОЛОДЕЖНЫЙ ПРОТЕСТ: РИСКИ, ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ, ПОСЛЕДСТВИЯ

The article is devoted to the possibilities and directions of youth participation in politics. The text criticizes the approach when an engagement in an opposition's protest considered as a destructive phenomenon at all. An author used conception of agonistic democracy by Chantal Mouffe to show the importance of the different ways of including youth people in politics throughout the different ideological pole. The article provides examples of protest behaviour of youth people who caused a resonance in the media. The main question raised by the author are there enough legal channels in modern Russian society for citizens to be involved in politics and to order to avoid the radicalization of public sentiment? In addition, an attempt is being made to highlight the problem of the special distinction between the “young people” category when analyzing protest actions. The phrase “Protest students” is often used in the context of the failure of the protest itself to show that its members were victims of alien influence, and in the administrative legislation of the Russian Federation appeared the wording “engaging minors” in participation in unauthorized actions. The author uses the approach of T. R. Garr, trying the importance of having social elevators and ways to influence the political system to avoid rising protest sentiment. The author refers to a some surveys conducted by the Center for Economic and Political Reforms, the Levada Center, the State Institute of Management. According to these surveys, young people in Russia have little involvement in politics and little interest in political processes. According to a survey by the Levada Center “Planning Horizon of the Future”, the majority of Russians do not plan their future, due to the unstable social situation, that is shown grows up the deprivation level. Based on the analysis of a number of reports of the DIA-info portal, which check detentions during public events. The author concludes that in recent years participation in public events has become much more difficult, starting from coordinating an application for a public event, ending with an increase in fines for participating in an unauthorized action. In addition, tightened control over statements on the Internet. Finally, the author concludes that modern youth may not have enough channels for constructive dialogue with the government, which contributes to its radicalization. To solve this problem, the author suggests that it is necessary to increase the involvement of young people in politics, and not to rely on repressive and prohibitive measures.

The Resonance of Colonial Era Customary Codes in Contemporary Uganda

Colonial era codifications of customary law – especially those codified in indigenous first languages – have a resilient capacity to form and inform living customary law. In the context of Mukono District, Uganda, modern conceptions of customary law are informed and shaped by colonial era codifications promulgated by the British Protectorate and the Kingdom of Buganda. This research insight offers practical benefits to those seeking to promote access to justice and human rights development in Mukono District. Such benefits speak to the potential vitality and relevance of colonial era customary codifications. Misgivings about the alien influences and exploitative purposes that distorted and corrupted colonial era codes do not warrant disregard of their active legacy within modern customary legal frameworks. The use of receptive research approaches such as those developed and modelled by Sally Falk Moore can help ensure the ongoing influence of colonial era codes are not hidden by contemporary orthodoxies and biases.

Mysterious Cordelia: who was it that Ilya Oblomov saw in his dreams?

The article seeks to prove the hypothesis about intentional semantic references to Kierkegaard’s The Seducer’s Diary (part of his Either/Ortractate) in Ivan Goncharov’s Oblomov. In order to substantiate the suggestion, the author begins by analyzing the image of Cordelia, to whom Oblomov compares Olga, his own love interest. While not completely dismissing the traditional interpretation of this allusion (as Shakespeare’s Cordelia from King Lear), the author argues that the image might refer to the Cordelia from the Diary. Further comparing the two works, she discovers similarities in Goncharov’s and Kierkegaard’s philosophical agenda, which opens a new way for Oblomov’s interpretation. Just as Kierkegaard, the Russian novelist is exploring the relationship between the manipulative seducer (in a broad sense) and his prey. The seductive Stoltz is forcing his philosophy on Olga and Oblomov, claiming it to be the only truth. Finally, Olga gives in to it and ends up confused about her own feelings. Oblomov, by contrast, emerges as a victor rather than victim: he defies the alien influence and finds happiness, albeit too late in life. The covert allusions suggest the possibility for ambiguous interpretation of the novel: as a story of a man’s degradation and a philosophical statement about integrity and the right to choose one’s own destiny.

CULTURAL ALIENATION AND LANGUAGE DISCONTINUITY IN LA MÉMOIRE TATTOUÉE

The question of Alienation is a core subject-matter of human conditioning in the present era. Therefore, it is natural that a controversial issue like alienation should leave such an indelible influence upon contemporary literature. The question of Alienation, in its different manifestations, has been conceptualized and discussed, most importantly, within the existentialistic literary perspective. Due to its historical and socio-cultural conditions, the African as well as the Maghrebian literature could not shy away from the influence of alienation, understood as an identity loss and as a sense of inferiority, experienced either before or after the contact with the Other. The dispossessed personality's search for identity is a commonplace theme in modern fiction. The present paper will discuss the different nuances of the word alienation and analyze this theme in La Mémoire Tattouée (1971), a Moroccan literary text written in French by Abdelkebir Khatibi. The aim is to show how language discontinuity stands as a cause that creates a sense of inferiority, subordination, and alienation.
