Practic-ing culture: exploring the implications of pre-existing mobility cultures on (post-) pandemic practices in Norway, Ireland, and the United States

Issues of culture have to date been underexplored in practice-theoretical approaches to consumption. As a disruptive force affecting citizen mobility all over the world, the COVID-19 pandemic provides a unique empirical context to explore how culture and practice intersect, specifically concerning how unsettling events affect practices across different cultural and governing settings. Applying a combined mobility-culture and practice-theoretical framework, we conceptualize mobility cultures as setting-specific arrangements of practices that shape and reflect distinct, temporally unfolding, socio-material contexts. Comparing three cities with different mobility cultures in Norway, Ireland, and the United States, we combine 63 qualitative interviews with a contextual analysis of mobility settings to explore how daily urban mobilities have been transformed. We find that existing variation in mobility cultures, including bundles of place-specific mobility-related norms and infrastructures, mediate the impact of disruption, shaping how changes in modes, meanings, and performances of mobilities transpire. Notably, the analysis reveals how underlying cultures of mobility shape how practice trajectories respond and are reconfigured in a pandemic health-risk society. The article concludes by discussing the implications of the findings for understanding how culture and practice intersect and calls for further comparative culture-focused analysis in social science research on consumption. We consider how cross-cultural analysis can inform science and policy efforts focused on transitions toward low-carbon mobilities.

전주시 원도심 공간의 의미 변화

This study examines the process in which a specific space in the Old downtown of Jeonju City is called differently and meaningfully by local residents according to the changes of the times. The area of Jungang-dong, Jeonju City, Called0 ‘Wedding Street’, was a commercial and administrative center from the 1950s to the 1990s. Administrative agencies were concentrated near ‘Wedding Street’, so public officials, teachers, and the wealthy used to purchase and repair watches and precious metals. In addition, the street was called “Jewelry Street” because gold and silver shops were concentrated, and it was signified as a women-centered consumption space due to its connection with nearby markets and changes in consumption culture.

So it made the marriage-related industries concentrated on this street. In the 2000s, urban revitalization policies were implemented amid the stagnation of old downtown, and local governments named the street area “Wedding Street” and implemented street maintenance projects. Since then, space reorganization has intensified around marriage-related industries, Accordingly, the consumption and semanticization process of local residents in this street has also been centered on marriage. Wedding Street fell into recession again amid changes in the consumer culture related to marriage. However, with the recent popularity of “-ridan-gil,” it has been called “Weridan-gil,” and the composition of the space has changed into that composed of the restaurants, bars, and cafes aimed to the consumption culture of young merchants and Consumers, and the process of meaning is emerging through SNS. As such, this study reveals the interaction between the subject that makes meaning according to the change of the times and the factors that influence the change of meaning. In addition, This study also showed the dynamics of space composition and practice from the socio-cultural perspective. In addition, it will provide implications for the implementation of various policies to revitalize the original city center nationwide by revealing that administrative-led policy implementation cannot take precedence over voluntary interaction of local people.

Понятието надзор за законност в исторически аспект – от зараждането му до съвременното разбиране на това понятие

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the actual meaning of the concept of prosecutorial supervision, and thence the meaning of the concept of supervision of legality, through the prism of the development of the prosecutorial institution in Bulgaria after the Liberation. The need for this arose due to changes in the historical meaning and to the insufficient and, at times, not very correct clarification and understanding of the nature and purpose of the supervision of legality in terms of its effective practice and current content. It is not appropriate to ignore the fact that prosecutorial supervision before, as well as the supervision of legality both historically and at present, are methods for cooperation between the executive and the judiciary, which have always had a particularly important role. And they will continue to have this role through exact and lawful implementation from the perspective of their present understanding.

The Sacred in Stories Symbol and Stakes of Meaning

This research paper relates to the short story, genre, charter and categories in which it has flexibility to open up to other types; Rather, in it, there are compatible references in dictionary, different in appearance, which may indicate chaos in the construction and harm the sacred in the essence of its meaning and the regularity of its significance. However, the narration of discourse has also, its system when the text is rendered from the symbol, and the sacred is transformed from its religious reference to an interpretive context in the collective imagination and perception of reality. Storytelling is born from stories in “palimpsests” and contrary to interpretation; the second establishes the model and the first turns to undermining what the “first newspapers” were born on, changes in structure, meaning and words in its lexicon limits to take place in a different view of the universal laws. All this chaos in the system was summed up in a narrative model entitled "Youssef.. The beautiful, perishable little Youssef" by the Syrian writer Zakaria Tamer, from his collection tagged "The Tigers on the Tenth Day"; the choice is justified by the following objectives: 1. Organization of universal texts in religion and culture within a literary genre shorthand is one of its most prominent features; 2.The order and chaos in this story and its semantic dimensions; 3.The logic of construction between the threshold and the text, the scene and the impact and the foundational text and the change of meaning.

Contributions of the deixis clarified to the reading comprehension competence of the 6th graders

Deixis are generally expressed as words or phrases whose meaning changes depending on who is talking, who is listening, where and when it is spoken (I, you, here, there, yesterday etc.). Foreign language learners have difficulties in decoding deixis in reading and listening skills. Therefore, this study aims at discussing how well the 6th graders are able to comprehend deixis in a written discourse. In order to collect data, twenty-two students have divided into two groups with even numbers as control and experimental groups. The 6th graders in experimental group have been given three different written texts in which deixis are clarified in parenthesis just after the use deictic words whereas the 6th graders in control group have been given the same three different written texts without identified deixis. The data have been collected through the reading comprehension questions after each text used in both groups. The findings have been analyzed by the SPSS 22 version program and t-test. As a result, the analysis indicates that there is a significant difference between the graders in both groups. The 6th graders in the experimental group seem more successful in reading comprehension than those in the control group because of the deictic words clarified.

«European philosophy has forgotten how to not really know»: refletion on the book by A. V. Smirnov «The logic of sense as a philosophy of mind»

The concept of a multi-civilisational world, the philosophical foundations of which are set out in the new monograph of academician A. V. Smirnov «The logic of sense as a philosophy of mind» (2021). Historical experience and analysis of modern practice shows that a new multi-civilisational integrity will not work, as long as only the Western project is considered as the only possible perspective of modern civilisation, and its ideals and values are presented as a role model. At the same time, the implementation of the value orientations of the consumer society outside Europe generates new crises and contradictions, not fitting into the national and cultural characteristics of other countries. Therefore, the way out to the points of growth of a new civilisational integrity should be not found in the West at all, but should be explored in those cultures that have preserved the traditional soil under the influence of modernisation processes. The new civilisational world does not arise as a completed project; it grows out of the global dynamic chaos left over from the outgoing civilisation. The catalysts of civilisational changes on the way to a new integrity are values that carry changes in life meanings under the influence of social life. New risks and challenges faced by countries require timely and adequate changes. Recently, the world has faced global instability, adaptation to which has become a motive for the transition to a new model of civilisational development.

The Influence of Orientalism in the 18th and 19th Century Opera Librettos

This study aims to trace the change and transformation of meaning and influence of orientalism and in the West from the 18th century through the 19th century in the operas where both content and visual codes were penetrated in the subtlest way, which first evolved geographically and politically, then diplomatically and culturally, and finally the purpose of domination by the West.

In this context, ‘Tamerlano’ Opera by George Frederick Händel and the ‘Abduction from the Seraglio’ Opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the 18th century are looked through, and ‘Aida’ Opera by Giuseppe Verdi in the 19th century is construed subsequently.

Death Attitudes Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults in Japan: A Qualitative Study Based on Erikson's Theory of Generativity.

There are few opportunities for ordinary people not familiar with death to think about it, whereas basic research on death attitudes is insufficient. This study thus examined the attitudes toward death among ordinary people through a qualitative analysis using Erikson's theory of generativity. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 middle-aged and older Japanese individuals. The results showed that death attitudes were individualized and consisted of seven components, mainly those related to agency and communion. The change in death attitudes manifested as a change in weight from agency to communion, a change in meaning and perspective, and an orientation toward well-being. In conclusion, the change in death attitudes is to become more generative by balancing agency and communion through the function of narration. This change might be termed "the maturity of death attitudes" because it is oriented toward eudaimonic well-being.

Text in English Education: A Problem

최현배의 ‘바꿈’, 계승과 변화

In the Korean traditional grammar, the initial study on the bakkum(change) of words(gi, ssi) focused on change of part-of-speech introduced for functional purposes to construct the correct sentence. A representative example is gimom-bakkum by Ju Sigyeong (1910). Then in Gim Dubong (1916), which described tteut-bakkum(change of meaning) and mom-bakkum(change of part-of-speech) in a balanced manner, the search for change of meaning began in earnest, and as a result, the use of bakkum was expanded to a wider area. A series of studies from Choe Hyeonbae (1930, 1934, 1936) to Choe Hyeonbae (1937) show that bakkum has entered another stage. While actively discussing change of shape centered on ssikkeut-bakkum(change of ending) and kkol-bakkum(change of shape), the concept of bakkum were expanded to another area different from the existing change of part-of-speech and change of meaning. In the process, the role of ssigaji, which leads ssikkeut-bakkum, was greatly emphasized and interest in the word composition began, and contents directly related to word formation theory appeared in the literature through jjahim of ssi. This article discusses the succession and change aspects surrounding bakkum from Ju Sigyeong (1910) and Gim Dubong (1916) to Choe Hyeonbae (1937).

Coalescence with component -nash in Ukrainian internet issues

Development and enrichment are constant processes of language. Not an exception, and Ukrainian, whose vocabulary is constantly increasing. This happens both at the expense of neologisms, changes in the lexical meaning of the word, etc., and with the help of occasionalisms. Unfortunately, new words do not appear only in peacetime and are not always associated with positive concepts, word play, rich imagination of the author. Increasingly, we are witnessing the fact that occasionalisms form their own world, the Orwellian newspeak, that is, they have a propagandistic, manipulative connotation, especially if its creators are representatives of the moscow authorities. The events in Ukraine during 2014–2019 (the brazen annexation of Crimea by russia, the formation of the «dnr», the «lnr», attempts to join the federation all south and east of Ukraine, which caused resonance in the civilized world, albeit insufficient, including the energy dependence of the leading states from russian gas) have led to considerable social changes, including in the field of philology and journalism. One of the neologisms that became active in various texts related to the russo-Ukrainian war was the word Krymnash, whose appearance is related to the annexation of the Crimean peninsula by russia, which makes its meaning different in the texts depending on the parties to the conflict. If for russia it is a matter of pride, a desire to assert their dubious geopolitical successes, then Ukrainians use words with a similar component in an exposing, satirical context. Neologisms related to the debunking of moscow myths are especially powerful when representatives of the federation appropriate territories or persons that concern them only indirectly. The token Krуmnash has become a model for the construction of the turn out to be the case, considered at these statistics: name geographic regions, continents, islands, seas, rivers etc.; countries; surnames of famous people. It is important to find out about the productiveness of the word model, who will continue, the basis for the new name, approved in a lexical-syntactic way. Keywords: word formation, lexical-syntactic way, Krymnash (Crimea is our), language of mass-media, occasionalisms.

Marginality: A Critical Review of the Concept

Marginality is a widely used concept in the literature on inequality and development. It has gained momentum, especially in the context of rising inequality in the post-liberalised and globalised world. This article looks into the evolution of marginality, analyses its role in the developmental discourse and argues that the interrelation between objective and subjective aspects of marginality constitutes the idea of it. This discussion identifies marginality as a measure of inequality in a given social context and time and indicates the degree of inequality experienced by individuals or groups. The article is divided into four parts. The first part looks into the change in meaning and components of marginality. The second part discusses marginality with other closely related concepts such as exclusion, poverty, the culture of poverty and precarity. The third part engages with the constituents of the marginal situation, and the fourth part discusses different typologies available to understand the dimensions of marginality.

Exploring Changes in Depression and Meaning in Life through River Rafting for Veterans with PTSD

As part of a larger research program examining the impacts of nature-based experiences on veterans with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, this study focused on changes in their depression and meaning in life after participating in a four-day river rafting experience. Results showed that there were statistically significant improvements over time for both depression scores and meaning in life scores. Results also indicated a weak statistically significant, negative association between depression and presence of meaning in life. The study’s results are useful for practitioners who may be considering nature-based programs for their clients, as well as researchers seeking to better understand the psychological health benefits of river rafting.

상업공간에 적용된 적벽돌의 공감각적 특성 연구

The commercial space, which is recognized with different characteristics through various material use and design expression methods, is responding to consumers" desire to satisfy their emotions with different sensory experiences and spatial concepts. In the case of red bricks, not only partial expressions such as floors, walls, and objects inside the space, but also forms the entire space and is applied without boundaries. With the characteristics of red bricks and unique construction methods, visitors to space have created various senses, which is actively used as an expression material for modern commercial space. This is an attractive element of only red bricks, and it is believed that when one of the five senses of humans meets stimulation, the sense of empathy that causes senses in other areas other than that has a wide influence on people"s emotional stimulation through red bricks. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to derive the synesthesia characteristics of red bricks that stimulate people"s emotions as an expression material for commercial spaces and cause various senses to act. As for the research method and content, synesthesia characteristics were derived through case analysis of design and material expression based on the concept of commercial space and the change in modern meaning. Subsequently, the characteristics of red bricks are derived by understanding the visual characteristics and method of building and analyzing expression cases. By connecting the synesthesia characteristics of the commercial space and the characteristics of the red brick discovered earlier, the synesthesia characteristics of the commercial space to which the red brick is applied were derived into the following five. It was organized into ‘Return and Departure of Time and Space’, ‘Realization of Persona of Physicality’, ‘Deteriorated Double-Sidedness of Appearance’, ‘Creation of Sense of Sequence Overlapping’ and ‘The Transfer of Emotional Warmth’ was conducted based on this. In the entire case, memories were recalled, vintage and modern according to spatial harmony, and conflicting bricks were revealed. In addition, through the combination of space and senses, people exist in space, forming a sense of temperature by the image. These results confirmed that various emotions and experiences of humans were expressed at the same time, realizing emotional stimuli and fantasies, and deeper emotional stimuli than other purpose spaces. Finally, it is expected that the characteristics of red bricks will prove their potential as an expression material that induces various experiences and sensory stimuli in various spatial design areas.

Searching for meaning: religious transitions as correlates of life meaning and purpose in emerging adulthood

ABSTRACT Achieving a sense of life meaning has been proposed as an evolutionary adaptation that promotes the human need for self-actualisation. This study explores how various dimensions of religiosity are associated with life purpose during emerging adulthood, a stage of the life course where religious decline and the search for meaning and purpose intersect. Prior studies on this topic, however, have typically not accounted for across-time fluctuations in religiosity. Therefore, using two waves of data from the National Study of Youth and Religion (NSYR) (2005-2008), we consider how changes in religious attendance and perceived closeness with God are associated with changes in life meaning and purpose. Results suggest that consistent or increasing attendance and closeness with God predict greater life purpose, while declines in attendance associate with lower purpose. We discuss possible mechanism that may underlie our findings within the current religious climate of the United States.
