Fueling civil disobedience in democracy: WhatsApp news use, political knowledge, and illegal political protest

Prior scholarship has consistently shown that informed citizens tend to better understand government actions, expectations, and priorities, potentially mitigating radicalism such as partaking in illegal protest. However, the role of social media may prove this relationship to be challenging, with an increasingly pervasive use of applications such as WhatsApp for information and mobilization. Findings from a two-wave US panel survey data show that WhatsApp news is negatively associated to political knowledge and positively associated to illegal protest. Less politically knowledgeable citizens also tend to engage in illegal protest more frequently. Results also suggest an influential role of political knowledge in mediating the effects of WhatsApp news over illegal protests. Those who consume more news on WhatsApp tend to know less about politics which, in turn, positively relates to unlawful political protest activities. This study suggests that WhatsApp affordances provide fertile paths to nurture illegal political protest participation.

Managing Crowdsourcing in the Public Sector: The Role of Government Feedback to Citizen Input

Crowdsourcing is a participation mechanism by which organizations engage with an external crowd of individual solvers via digital platforms. Government organizations increasingly use crowdsourcing platforms to integrate citizen knowledge and inputs in designing and delivering public services. After receiving input, the government usually provides feedback to individual users on whether the input can be considered. Drawing on attribution theory, this study asks how government feedback affects citizens’ future participation in crowdsourcing platforms. Using a 7-year dataset of both online reports from citizens to government and government feedback to citizen requests, we examine communication patterns and find that approximately 50 percent of first reports shared by citizens are rejected by the government. Our results show that being rejected the first time decreases citizens’ continued participation behavior. Furthermore, future participation behavior is dependent on the reason for the rejection. This study contributes to research on digital interaction between citizens and the government and highlights the importance of rationale transparency and regular platform management to sustain citizen participation in the era of digital government.

Health and recreational motional activity of elderly people in different countries of the world

The article considers and collects material from both international research and domestic sources that reflect the health and recreational physical activity of the elderly in Europe and the whole world as well as the motives for involvement in this age group. The results of the analysis of the questionnaire, which assessed the involvement of the elderly showed low health and recreational physical activity in different countries, ranging from 10 to 80%, and the activity of men is higher than women. About 40% of the population of the Netherlands and Germany are engaged in physical activity, and as for Belgium, France, Sweden, the indicator is less than 20%. In Spain, Finland, Canada, and the United Kingdom, government programs implemented in 13 pilot regions of the country over four years indicated a threefold increase in the number of seniors who regularly attend group exercise classes. In the United States, the population that is systematically engaged in physical activity is dominated by the population of Euros and Latinos, but African Americans are less active - up to 6%. In African countries physical activity is being decreased among the adult population. The main reasons for that include lack of knowledge of citizens about classes, poor promotion of programs among the population. The survey of the Chinese population on regular exercise during the week of the elderly in the range of 60-69 years showed 11.8%. According to research in Ukraine, only 17% of people of retirement age go in for exercise or sports

Public opinions and knowledge about microorganisms

ABSTRACT Background The microbiology should be a part of curricula; especially after epidemic COVID-19. Purpose The study reports the level of knowledge and opinions of Slovenian citizens about microorganisms. Sample The target population of the online survey was Slovenian citizens older than 14 years. Design and methods We collected 405 complete surveys, which structured with 47 knowledge items and 18 opinion items about microorganisms. Results We found a lack of knowledge among citizens and corresponding misconceptions about microorganisms. There were no statistically significant differences in citizens’ knowledge by age and gender, but citizens with higher educational attainment had better knowledge scores. Participants equate the terms virus, bacteria and microorganisms, an error that can lead to misconceptions. We found that between 15.0 and 20.0% of citizens experience fear of microorganisms. Regarding gender, age and degree level, there were statistically significant differences in participants’ opinions about microorganisms. 45.5% of the participants agreed that the topic of microorganisms is underrepresented in school. This is probably the reason why 44.2% of the participants are not interested in microbiology, although 74.6% are aware that knowledge about microorganisms is important and useful. Conclusion It would be good to strengthen the content and ways of working in the education system, because in case of a pandemic like SARS-CoV-2 there would be more understanding of what we are dealing with and less fear of the ignorant.

Peran Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan di Era Globalisasi dalam Menumbuhkan Semangat Nasionalisme Mahasiswa

Negative effects of globalization such as immoral cases committed by students in universities and intellectuals, as we have known through television broadcasts and mass media lately. It illustrates that the education carried out so far has not touched the realm of student awareness.

Civil Society, Democracy and Budgeting: Citizens Engagement and Transformations in Nigeria’s Budgeting

ABSTRACT Democracy in the sphere of policy-making warrants fulfilling the popular will by opening spaces for citizen knowledge of the governance processes participation, inclusion and a framework for accountability. The four budget stages of preparation, approval, implementation, and audit necessarily ought to integrate the above principles for an essential nexus with democracy. Using the work of two groups of civil society partners working on Nigeria’s budgeting, we studied the 2016–2019 period around the principles of democratic budgeting as well as explored changes related to civic engagements over the period. We found a monopoly of budget preparation by cloistered bureaucratic experts. The approval stage is marred by politics of vested interests in the legislature and executive with resulting delays in implementation and limited monitoring of the process by citizens. Budget audit suffers delays and non-response to its sensitive findings. Nonetheless, participatory civic engagements have led to a legal framework for civic vigilance in budgeting and enabled the country to save US$500,373,421.40 from frivolous allocations as well as annual budget adjustments for pro-poor inclusiveness and fair distribution of capital projects. Hence, civil society work for democratic budgeting regime is slow but incremental and unfolds amidst encumbering political and institutional dynamics.

Why support nuclear energy? The roles of citizen knowledge, trust, media use, and perceptions across five Southeast Asian countries

Public support is important for countries that are at nascent stages of nuclear energy development. This study seeks to examine factors shaping public support for nuclear energy development in five Southeast Asian countries – Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Using surveys (with n = 1,000 in each country), results show that the public indicates generally low levels of support for nuclear energy development across the five countries. This reflects the possible lingering impact of the Fukushima nuclear incident on public opinion. We further show that factors, such as trust in various stakeholders, media frames, and risk and benefit perceptions, are associated with public support for nuclear energy. More importantly, people use trust, and risk and benefit perceptions as perceptual filters to interpret the relationship between nuclear knowledge and their support for nuclear energy. The findings imply that policymakers should take these perceptual filters into consideration when communicating messages about nuclear energy development to the public.

Investigating principles that underlie frameworks for Pacific health research using a co-design approach: learnings from a Tongan community based project

Co-design is a relatively new method employed in public health-based interventions to identify problems, generate and implement solutions through harnessing knowledge and creativity of citizens and staff . Researchers use different co-design steps in the design and implementation of intervention programmes. The co-design approach has been successfully used in redesigning health care services to fit the needs of the consumers and has extended to develop health interventions for communities . In New Zealand, co-design methods have been used to develop health interventions among minority and indigenous groups. Previous research highlighted that co-design fits well when collaborating with these groups as it allows tool redevelopments and re-fining based on the socio-cultural needs of participants. This method captures and understands the needs of the Tongan community, as well as foster expression, reflection, and sharing to inform the development of the intervention. The generation of discussion in co-design aligns with the indigenous knowledge of systems, creation stories and oral stories which provide a culturally empowering way to generate discussion and insights from Tongan communities.

Розвиток публічних закупівель: від минулого до сучасного

Abstract. Introduction. Any political system exists as a set of institutions and organizations that are collectively responsible for social organization and assuming various managerial functions. Since the fundamental task of the state is to ensure sustainable economic development, the processes that can ensure certain economic shifts are almost a defining component of economic policy and are urgent. Ukraine, striving for real change, did not miss this trend of change, as the political bankruptcy of the state apparatus led to weak independence, and a huge corruption component exhausted the economy and brought Ukraine to the brink of economic crisis. The decisive way to solve this problem was the renewal of the public procurement system, governed by specific regulations, and its transfer from the shadow format to the electronic one in 2016 for public availability. An e-procurement system is a tool for detecting and combating corruption through numerous tools for monitoring and analyzing public procurement. In addition, the system is unique in its structure, since it works in cooperation with three parties – government, business, and the public. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to study and compare the laws of Ukraine "On public procurement" that were in force until 2021 and the new law that came into force on 01.01.2021. Fundamental amending and supplementing to the articles of the law are subject to assessment. Results. The issue of current innovations in the public procurement sector is investigated. The historical development of the implementation of the public procurement system on the example of "Prozzoro" is highlighted. The paper deals with the cycle and the process of implementation of public procurement, the structure of the electronic system of public procurement. The general state of functioning of electronic procurement in Ukraine and tools of the e-procurement analytics module is analyzed. Public procurement procedures contribute to the provision of society with goods, works, and services in the required quantity and quality on time and acceptable contractual relations. It is difficult to imagine the development of economic prosperity without the full functioning of the mechanism of transparent public procurement, which can ensure uninterrupted interaction between all representatives of the economic system at the macroeconomic level. The Law of Ukraine "On Public Procurement" and some other legislative acts of Ukraine on strengthening control and responsibility for violations of legislation in the field of public procurement, ensuring proper protection of the rights of public procurement participants are analyzed. The prospect of further research is to consider the content and evaluation of innovations in the Law of Ukraine "On Public Procurement" and objective conclusions regarding innovative solutions and future developments. Conclusions. The most significant achievements in the development of the public procurement system in Ukraine were achieved in the period 2016-2021 since the enactment of the Law of Ukraine "On Public Procurement" and the introduction of the electronic procurement system ProZorro. To this date, the achievements in the field of reforming the public procurement system are noticeable to the general public, because the disclosure of the system has increased the level of knowledge of citizens in this area. However, there are gaps in the legislation that do not exclude the possibility of abuse by individual bidders. This necessitates further scientific research towards the development of the public procurement system in Ukraine. The prospect of further research is to consider the content and evaluation of innovations in the Law of Ukraine "On Public Procurement" and objective conclusions regarding innovative solutions and future developments.

Consumer Attitudes towards Microalgae Production and Microalgae-Based Agricultural Products: The Cases of Almería (Spain) and Livorno (Italy)

The production of microalgal biomass and products derived thereof for a wide variety of applications is a hot research topic, with the number of facilities being built and products and biologically active molecules launched into the market increasing every year. The aim of the current study was to identify the attitudes of citizens in Almería (Spain) and Livorno (Italy) towards the construction of a microalgae production plant and a biorefinery in their cities and also their opinions about the microalgae-based products that could be produced. Overall, in Almería (Spain), a NIMBY (not in my back yard) attitude towards the construction of a microalgal production facility and especially towards a microalgal biorefinery was observed, despite the strong microalgal industry in the region and the higher knowledge of citizens about microalgae. In both locations, but especially in Livorno (Italy), microalgae-based biostimulants, biofertilisers, and aquafeeds were well accepted. Proximity was the main factor affecting the acceptance of a microalgae producing facility. Consumer knowledge about microalgal biotechnology and the health and environmental benefits of this valuable raw material are scarce, and opinions are based on drivers other than knowledge. After gaining more knowledge about microalgal biorefineries, most of the responses in Almería (47%) and Livorno (61%) were more positive.
