Analysis of Domain Intersection and Knowledge Evolution—The Development of the Fields of Social Innovation and Design Education

This paper synthesizes the literature from the fields of design education and social innovation to obtain a complete understanding of the development of these fields’ knowledge, and it also compares and cross-analyzes the two fields to determine the entry point for combining the knowledge in both fields. Two types of bibliometric software were used to capture and classify the data, and descriptive statistical analysis, co-occurrence analysis of keywords, knowledge evolution analysis of studies cited in both fields, and burst analysis were conducted. The results reveal that integrating technology into the field of design education in combination with shifting the focus from enhancing students’ professional competence to enhancing their overall competence can contribute to the improvement of design education quality. This is in the context of empathy research becoming a trend. Furthermore, the field of social innovation defines “social innovation” as a mutual agreement between practice and theory to promote solutions to society’s problems. The research in this field covers all aspects of social life and has a complex disciplinary background. The field of social innovation is currently mostly concerned with the relationship between universities and social innovation practices. The burst analysis reveals that open innovation is becoming a common focus of both fields and is developing into a popular research topic.

Moralność prawa w epoce cyfrowej

The ongoing digital revolution is significantly affecting various aspects of social life. It does not, of course, bypass the area of lawmaking and law application either. The literature sometimes presents radically differing viewpointson how digitalization affects the mentioned area. A phenomenon that arouses such divergent opinions deserves in-depth reflection. For this reason, thisarticle is devoted to this issue. Its primary purpose was to examine whether digitalization and its achievements can improve the quality of law and contribute to the realization of the eight conditions of “good law” in L.L. Fuller’sview. The analysis shows that information and communication technologies are valuable tools. When used appropriately, they can greatly contribute to fulfilling the requirements mentioned earlier. However, harnessing their potential depends on the knowledge and, more importantly, the will of those responsible for making and applying the law.

The phenomenon of value conflict in the mass media space

The author examines in detail the phenomenon of value conflict in the mass media space. With the advent of mass media, political conflict has acquired a new scale and role, developing on several planes: in reality, in the media, in social media and in the minds of the audience. Modern society is oversaturated with information, which leads to the question of the effective use of media resources and their uneven distribution. In the context of the information society, new types of conflicts arise related to the relationship of factual and necessary information, which emphasizes the importance of studying the mediatization of political conflicts and their impact on public relations. The media space is an environment where political conflicts are formed and resolved, thereby defining many aspects of social life and interaction. The article focuses on the role of values in the political process, reveals the influence of the media on the formation of attitudes and behavior in conflict conditions. The object of the study is a political conflict in the media space. The subject of the study is the mediatization of political relations in the context of the value characteristics of society. The purpose of the study is to determine the role and place of media in the processes of managing political and value conflict in modern society. The research uses activity-based, axiological and systematic approaches that allow us to penetrate into the essence of the phenomenon of the mass media space and trace the transformation of values in it that are the subject of conflict relations. The theoretical and practical significance of the study lies in the fact that it substantiates the need to revise classical approaches to the consideration of such categories as: information war, political and value conflict in the media space. As part of the conflict agenda, the media can chronicle events, mediate and make forecasts. They influence the formation of attitudes and behaviors of social groups in conflict conditions, have the potential to form stereotypes of constructive (or not) behavior. The study of the mediatization of political conflict in a value-based way allows us to identify the features and patterns of formation of models of "conflict behavior" in the information field (participating and observing parties), the choice of motives, strategies and opportunities in the conflict, goals and ideas about the development of the conflict.

THE INFLUENCE OF CULTURAL CODES ON SOCIETY

Culture is a dynamic and multifaceted aspect of society that shapes individuals' beliefs, behaviors, and interactions. At the core of cultural dynamics are cultural codes, which serve as symbolic systems that convey shared meanings and values within a community. The influence of cultural codes on society is profound and far-reaching, impacting various facets of social life, including communication, norms, traditions, and identity. This article explores the intricate relationship between cultural codes and society, delving into how these codes shape perceptions, attitudes, and social structures. By examining the role of cultural codes in societal development and cohesion, we aim to uncover the profound impact of culture on the collective consciousness and functioning of communities.

Child Fostering and the Question of Child Labour in Northern Ghana's Alleged Witches' Camps

AbstractAmong the Dagbamba of northern Ghana, the customary practice of child fostering is not the sole responsibility of biological parents, but rather a collective responsibility of the extended family and the larger society. This makes child fostering an age‐old, informal socio‐cultural practice and an integral aspect of social life. Even though the intentions behind child fostering are often good, fostering may also be associated with some dangers such as child labour. In recent years, the debate as to whether child fostering amounts to child labour has been extended to northern Ghana's alleged witches' camps; places where elderly women accused of witchcraft are sheltered. Drawing on one‐to‐one interviews with selected children, alleged witches and community elders, and supplemented by personal experiences growing up in Dagbambaland, this article examines child fostering in relation to child labour in these settlements. Using qualitative ethnographic data, our findings show that what is described as child labour in these settlements is a necessary evil for the category of children who live in these settlements.

Digital citizenship and disability in the covid era

The covid-19 crisis has accelerated automation and digitalization in many aspects of social life. Social distancing and lockdowns, combined with the imperative to preserve economic activity, have seen much work and education move online, while the digitalization of government services has intensified. These developments slowed the spread of covid-19 but their broader effects, both positive and negative, have been unevenly distributed. One group for whom covid-driven digitalization has been especially ambivalent is people with a disability. While remote forms of communication and work have afforded physical health protections to many disabled people, these same forms have had exclusionary effects that magnify pre-existing disadvantages and diminish citizenship rights. This article analyses this ambivalent dialectic and the politics of neoliberal digital citizenship with which it is enmeshed. We argue that digital citizenship needs to be decoupled from a constraining neoliberal rationality prioritizing ableist individual competition, techno-entrepreneurship and government cost-cutting.

Determinants of Family Support Among People Living With HIV Seeking Care in a Tertiary Hospital in Lagos State, Nigeria: A Cross-Sectional Study

Family support, as an aspect of social life, is crucial for individuals, including people living with HIV (PLWH). This study assessed the prevalence and determinants of family support among PLWH in Nigeria and tested the consequences of HIV disclosure. It adopted a cross-sectional study design, using systematic random sampling to select 404 PLWH. Most respondents were female (mean age: 42.65 [12.74] years). Strong family support was prevalent at 67.6%. Family support was positively correlated with disclosure of HIV status and social quality of life, while negatively correlated with adherence and independent quality of life. Our findings support the consequences theory of HIV disclosure. It implies that family members of PLWH must provide more support to improve their quality of life.

Социальные взаимодействия в системе высшего образования в условиях информатизации общества

Informatization of various aspects of social life and digitalization of economic sectors changed the content of the activities of many social institutions. This touched upon the problem of social interactions in modern higher education. Practical actions in the aspect of digitalization of higher education require social reflection for their effective regulation. The purpose of the article is to determine the factors influencing the implementation of the main institutional functions of higher education through social interactions of teachers and students in the context of digitalization of higher education (in particular, during the transition to distance learning). The article discusses theoretical approaches to understanding digitalization processes, which are complemented by the well-known approaches to studying the essence of social interactions. Systemic and institutional approaches were used. The theoretical analysis of the features of social interactions using digital technologies is supplemented by a secondary analysis of sociological research on the problems of digitalization of the higher education system, the introduction of digital technologies and distance learning at universities, and the results of a sociological survey of the students at Penza State University (April–May 2020). The article describes the experience of leading universities in the use of artificial intelligence, big data analytics and the work of neural networks in university activities. On the basis of the conducted research and secondary data analysis, it was concluded that the institutional function of knowledge transfer in the higher education system was quite successfully performed in the new learning conditions. The possibilities of social interactions and communications with teachers and management structures of universities are influenced by technological, educational, organizational and communication factors. Under their influence, the professional and general cultural competencies of university graduates will be formed, which are prerequisites for them to occupy new social statuses after graduation.

Personal development in the school organization in the context of new educational paradigms

Modernity, but also the processes it involves simultaneously: the continuous increase in the complexity of technology and the volume of information, the changes in the labor market, the poor management of time for relationships and communication, continuously threaten the personal balance of man as part of the new society. Personal development represents a current trend in all aspects of social life and implicitly in its fundamental level, education. A highlighting of the integration of personal development at the level of the education system will capture the implications generated among teachers and school managers as well as the need to implement programs designed to support personal development as part of professional evolution and success, as a benefit that gives meaning and relevance to the didactic and managerial activity, which will facilitate overcoming the challenges that occur in the process of social changes and educational paradigms, but also in relations with other educational actors and with oneself.

Studies advanced in face recognition technology based on deep learning

Face recognition technology has always been a hot research topic in the computer vision community, and has developed rapidly in recent years. Face recognition aims to build a model and predict the face identity information in a given image, which has been widely used in various aspects of social life, such as identity authentication, security encryption, human-computer interaction, etc. In order to improve the accuracy and speed of face recognition, and how to maintain good face recognition under the premise of occlusion, many advanced technologies have been proposed. This paper summarizes the face recognition technologies proposed in recent years, and introduces the latest research progress in the field of face recognition from two aspects: traditional face recognition based on manual features and face recognition based on deep learning. Specifically, we first briefly introduce traditional face recognition methods. Second, we introduce the mechanism of traditional Convolutional Neural Networks(Hereinafter referred to as CNN) in face recognition. Finally, we focus on the application of Transformer in the field of face recognition. According to the datasets used by the methods introduced above, the performance of these methods is summarized, the advantages and disadvantages of CNN and Transformer are pointed out, and the future development direction is proposed.

Perubahan Sosial dalam Perspektif Al-Qur’an: Studi Kepustakaan Tafsir Al-Azhar dan Tafsir Al-Misbah

In Islamic teachings, a human being lives according to religious norms. Real social change really covers all aspects of social life, thereby requiring a very long process to create a civilized social order in accordance with the guidance of the Al-Qur'an. To be able to do this, humans must mingle, or humans must interact which ultimately takes the form of integration. In a theoretical context, sociology places a transformation in the social environment as an event that occurs around society that is universal. The above studies in the current context are often explained using the term multiculturalism. In the Al-Qur'an, Al-Hujurat verse 13 states that the description of the purpose of creating humans by Allah for the same purpose is not necessarily in a narrow sense. M. Quraish Shihab tried to provide a way out, although in the end he still tended towards rational theology. Meanwhile, Hamka gave answers through preaching without any coercion through Al-Azhar interpretations.

Digital technologies and food security during crisis: COVID-19 experiences from smallholder farmers in Odisha, India

This research explores the significance of digital agricultural technology concerning food security for smallholder farmers and their communities in Odisha, India, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The study is a collaborative effort between academic researchers based in Canada, 15 small-scale farmers from Odisha, and the India-based social enterprise, eKutir. The farmers’ experiences utilizing eKutir’s technology are examined to understand how it aids them in meeting their food security requirements, sustaining their livelihoods and participating in local food systems before and during the pandemic. eKutir shares transactional data that illustrate how their platform facilitates food movement through local food systems during the pandemic while exploring its potential to enhance food security and food system resilience further. The primary goal of this research is to strengthen the adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers and the food systems dependent on them, particularly during non-conflict crises like the COVID pandemic, that affect economic, physical, and social aspects of life. This research is also intended to contribute to the continued development of digital technology in a way that supports smallholder farmer interests. Our findings reveal that access to eKutir’s platform enabled farmers to remain connected to essential markets, continue earning income, and support local food systems during the COVID pandemic. While potential negative consequences associated with data-focused agricultural technologies can acrue, when technology design is guided by and tailored to the needs of resource-constrained farmers, it can substantially contribute to their resilience in the face of contemporary challenges and risks.

Infrastructure and Spatial Transformation of Mrzla Vodica Village in Croatia

Infrastructure projects, encompassing the construction of roads, railways, power facilities, and other structures, have a tangible impact on the physical landscape. When implemented within or through a settlement, these projects also influence cultural and social aspects of life. Despite their intention to enhance citizens' well-being as part of modernization endeavours, infrastructure initiatives often produce uneven effects on different social groups. This study focuses on the transformative processes that unfolded in the village of Mrzla Vodica, located in Gorski Kotar, Croatia, following the construction of a road in the early 19th century and a dam in the mid-20th century, up to the present day. Employing a classic ethnographic approach and a literature review, this research aims to demonstrate how infrastructure can generate both prosperity and significant disruptions to space, potentially leading to the decline or even disappearance of a community. By shedding light on the inequality produced by infrastructural development, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of modernization processes in rural area.
