ИДЕЙНО-ЦЕННОСТНЫЕ МАРКЕРЫ СОДЕРЖАНИЯ КОНЦЕПТА "ХОРОШЕГО ОБЩЕСТВА" КАК ОСНОВЫ ФОРМИРОВАНИЯ ИНТЕГРАЦИОННОГО ФУНДАМЕНТА КОНСОЛИДАЦИИ ВЛАСТИ И ОБЩЕСТВА

The article presents an analysis and description of the “good society” model as an actual social and normative construct. On its base, it is possible to achieve productive integration of the state and society. It is shown, that for a postmodern society, the model of a “good society” can be taken as a basis for the most effective and working scheme of social development, but it is necessary to specify the concepts that define it. In the scientific theoretical and methodological discussion, the model of a “good society” is described on the basis of value-normative guidelines in people’s everyday life. There are two main directions, liberal and communitarian, which describe the basis for the functioning of such model. It is shown that, applying it to Russian sociopolitical realities, the most effective analysis can be conducted using an integrated approach, as well as clarification of the main value-normative structural elements that make up the socially “good”. Particular attention is paid to the concept of social justice in the public opinion of Russians. Understanding justice as the basis for people’s activities influences their desire to live in a good society.

The redistributive effect of the Hungarian flat tax and family allowance system

AbstractThe study examines the income redistribution effects of the Hungarian flat-tax and the recently introduced family allowance scheme. They were done on the basis of people's individual data for 2007, 2011 and 2020, which yields more accurate estimates than the previous studies based on aggregate or survey data. Between 2011 and 2013, progressive taxation was abolished, and a flat income tax was introduced, along with a substantial widening of pre-existing family tax allowances. We find that the tax reform has favoured high-income earners and taxpayers with children, while the main losers were low-income and/or childless workers. While the share of family tax allowances is somewhat lower for the high-income deciles, this effect is in practice negligible, therefore the income tax system can still be considered flat. The family tax allowance scheme favours wealthy families with many children over low-income families with fewer or no children. The biggest winners of the scheme are the taxpayers in the top income decile with three or more children: these 22,000 taxpayers (that is, 2% of all recipients) receive 10% of the total amount of the family tax allowance, and almost a third of the credit allocated to families with three or more children.

Analysis of Utilization of Local Wisdom as a Base for Tourism Village Development in Wewengkon Kasepuhan Customary Citorek, Lebak, Banten

Wewengkon Adat Kasepuhan Citorek is a customary tradition that is legally recognized and is part of the tourism development priorities in the Lebak Regency. As a traditional village that still preserves its local wisdom and has potential in terms of natural conditions, it is not surprising that this area is directed to be optimized in a tourism village concept based on local wisdom. However, the unique potential that exists cannot be optimized into a product or a tourist experience so community contributions to tourism activities and tourism options are still very limited in Wewengkon Adat Kasepuhan Citorek. The research method used is content analysis to conclude the results of information from key stakeholders in the utilization of local wisdom as a basis for the development of tourism villages. The approach to utilizing local wisdom as a basis for developing a tourist village in Wewengkon Adat Kasepuhan Citorek is only visible in terms of buying experience through the Seren Taun Tradition, while buying products are available but very limited as part of tourism offerings.

Gender Identity Discrimination and Religious Freedom

AbstractIs there a legitimate basis for religious exemptions from laws that prohibit gender identity discrimination on the basis of people’s beliefs? The author argues that much depends upon how gender dysphoria is understood. If it is seen as a problem requiring medical diagnosis and treatment, then arguably there is no religious basis for discrimination, except in a few situations where being a biological male or female is theologically essential to a particular role. Transgender identification, understood as a medical issue, fits within a belief system that God created two sexes of human beings, male and female. Within that belief system one can make room for an understanding that there are those who experience disorders of sex development and those who have such a profound sense of being born in the wrong body that they undertake steps toward medical transition to align their bodies, as far as possible, with the opposite sex. However, recent reinterpretations of what it means to be transgender involve an assertion that it should not be seen as a medical issue, that affirmation of a person’s self-declared gender identity, with or without having hormonal treatment or surgery, is a matter of human rights and that the law should recognize that people may have a gender that, however described, is nonbinary. These views rely on certain beliefs and positions that have a very weak basis in science. They challenge religious beliefs, which accord with mainstream scientific understanding, that human beings are intrinsically a sexually dimorphic species. People of faith need the freedom to reject beliefs that are incompatible with their worldviews. That does not mean that ill-treatment of someone on the basis of their gender identity can ever be justified; but it does support a religious exemption from a legal obligation to accept someone else’s self-declared gender identity. It is one thing to ask me to respect your beliefs about yourself. It is another to ask me to act toward you as if I share your beliefs.

The B corp movement, advantages, and challenges: the perception of certified brazilian companies

Purpose: The present research aims at checking the social environmental practices carried out by the B corps, as well as the advantages and challenges faced by the movement. Design/methodology/approach: The research is descriptive and qualitative, carried out through multiple case studies with 11 Brazilian companies certified by the B Lab.

Among the advantages of being part of the movement is the strength of working in a group with the same purpose, in search of transforming the capitalist market and recognizing its practices. The challenges in the certification search are related to the formalization of practices, considering that they are mostly small companies and the need for greater dissemination of the movement.Originality/value: The study contributes both to the advance in the literature regarding the understanding of the B Corp movement and to the evolution of the concept of hybrid organizations. As empirical contributions, the research serves as a basis for people and companies that seek to alleviate social and environmental problems through their practices and professional activities.

Development of the food system in Russia and its role in the global food system

The basis of people’s livelihoods is formed depending on food security within the global system of economic security. It should be noted that one of the most important conditions is the stability of the economic system to a variety of internal and external influences, which may be of a political or economic nature. One of the priority areas for achieving food security in a significant part of the countries is the process of stimulating the development of national agriculture. Of course, this process will involve the implementation of special support measures, as well as increasing competitiveness in the domestic and foreign markets. It is also very important to provide appropriate protection against the food expansion of exporting countries. At the same time, food security implies the physical and economic availability of the necessary food products in the required quantity and assortment. Its achievement in Russia is due to the sufficiency of agricultural land resources and bioclimatic potential for the production of basic foodstuffs in the required quantities. I agree with the opinion that today the problem of food security has become paramount due to the following events: environmental degradation, changing natural and climatic conditions in the world, overpopulation and, as a result, the threat of a food crisis. The purpose of my study of this topic is to show the features of the development of the country’s food system.

Effects of COVID-19 on Sustainability of Residential Spaces and Communities

The effect of the pandemic on residential spaces and communities is a popular topic around the world. And some researchers found out that sustainable development in the living spaces is also affected, while the extent and the specific changes still lack explanation. Therefore, the theme of this article is to explore and assess the effects of COVID-19 on sustainability in residential spaces and communities. In order to get the result, the data were collected from questionnaires mainly from Jiangxi and Guangdong. After that, seven different interviews were conducted with different groups of people in these two places. Finally, these two sets of data were compared and analyzed and it can be found that the public now has more enormous expectations of the usage of existing resources and that they have made some changes simultaneously in order to respond to the current situation. Therefore, on the basis of people's expectations, the following suggestion is proposed to further improve their quality of life, including public parks, garbage classification, delivery lockers with monitors or purifiers, temporary buffering areas, multi-function areas, and entertainment areas. The purpose of previous suggestions is to hope that people can get relevant inspiration through these points, so as to better coy with the current global crisis.

Prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in India stratified by known and undiagnosed diabetes, urban–rural locations, and socioeconomic indices: results from the SMART India population-based cross-sectional screening study

National and subnational estimates of the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy and vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy (VTDR) are needed to inform the stepwise implementation of systematic retinal screening for people with diabetes in India to decrease the rate of blindness. We aimed to assess these national and subnational estimates and to stratify the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy and VTDR on the basis of people with known versus undiagnosed diabetes, urban versus rural residence, and epidemiological transition level (ETL) and Socio-demographic Index (SDI) categories of states. We did a multicentre cross-sectional screening study for diabetic retinopathy using a complex cluster sampling design in people aged 40 years or older in ten Indian states and one union territory between Dec 20, 2018, and March 20, 2020. We did non-mydriatic retinal screening and assessed risk factor burden for people with diabetes. We estimated nationally weighted prevalence of diabetic retinopathy and VTDR for individuals with known and undiagnosed diabetes by urban versus rural residence, and by state categorisation by ETL and SDI. We also assessed adjusted risk factors. From 42 146 participants screened, 7910 (18·8%) were identified to have diabetes. Of these, 6133 (77·5%; 4350 with known diabetes and 1783 with undiagnosed diabetes) had gradable retinal images. 3411 (56%) participants were women and 2722 (44%) were men, and the median age was 56 years (IQR 49-65). The estimated national prevalence was 12·5% (95% CI 11·0-14·2) for diabetic retinopathy and 4·0% (3·4-4·8) for VTDR, with no significant differences between urban and rural residence for diabetic retinopathy. Compared with individuals with undiagnosed diabetes, we observed a higher prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (15·5% [13·4-17·8] vs 8·0% [6·3-10·1]) and VTDR (5·3% [4·5-6·3] vs 2·4% [1·6-3·6]) in individuals with known diabetes. The prevalence was significantly lower in low ETL-SDI states compared with high and middle ETL-SDI states for diabetic retinopathy (by 7·0%, 1·9-12·2, p=0·024) and VTDR (by 4·8%, 3·0-6·6, p<0·0001). Hyperglycaemia was the strongest modifiable risk factor. We estimate that, in absolute numbers, approximately 3 million people aged 40 years or older have VTDR in India, with a higher prevalence in those with known diabetes residing in high and middle ETI-SDI states.
