Impact of LGBT-supportive Workplace Policies on Productivity

oday's workforce is increasingly diverse in terms of personal characteristics such as race, ethnicity, gender, national origin, religion, gender identity, and sexual orientation. The “business case for diversity” suggests that such diversity in the workplace will lead to lower costs and/or higher revenues, improving the bottom line. Not surprisingly, employers have considered the economic benefits of adding lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT)-supportive policies, including sexual orientation and gender-identity non-discrimination policies and domestic partner benefits policies. The present study identifies and evaluates the impact of LGBT-supportive employment policies and workplace climates on business outcomes in order to answer two primary questions: 1. Whether Company is seriously adopting the non-discriminatory policies for LGBT and/or takingappropriate action towards supporting it 2. Does LGBT-supportive policies will create an environment that is conducive for enhancing productivity ?Simple Random Sampling is used to collect data from people from LGBT community working in several sectors of Corporates within Mumbai region. Out of 100 samples , 75 responses have been collected . Care has been taken to collect data from the entire research universe. We conclude that this research supports the existence of many positive links between LGBT-supportive policies or workplace climates and outcomes that will benefit employers. However, studies does not provide provides direct quantitative estimates of the impact on the bottom line. More specifically, research demonstrates that LGBT-supportive policies and workplace climates are linked to greater job commitment, improved workplace relationships, increased job satisfaction among LGBT employees. Furthermore, LGBT-supportive policies and workplace climates are also linked to less discrimination against LGBT employees and more openness about being LGBT. Less discrimination and more openness, in turn, are also linked to greater job commitment, improved workplace relationships, increased job satisfaction, and increased productivity among LGBT employees.

Valence tautomerism in a cobalt-dioxolene complex containing an imidazolic ancillary ligand.

This work reports the synthesis, structural, spectroscopic and magnetic investigation of two complexes, [Co(bmimapy)(3,5-DTBCat)]PF6·H2O (1) and [Co(bmimapy)(TCCat)]PF6·H2O (2), where bmimapy is an imidazolic tetradentate ancillary ligand and 3,5-DTBCat and TCCat are the 3,5-di-tert-butyl-catecholate and tetrachlorocatecholate anions, respectively. Their structures have been elucidated using single crystal X-ray diffraction, showing a pseudo-octahedral cobalt ion bound to a chelating dioxolene ligand and the ancillary bmimapy ligand in a folded conformation. Magnetometry displayed an entropy-driven, incomplete, Valence Tautomeric (VT) process for 1 in the 300-380 K temperature range, while 2 displayed a temperature independent, diamagnetic low-spin cobalt(iii)-catecholate charge distribution. This behaviour was interpreted on the basis of the cyclic voltammetric analysis, allowing the estimation of the free energy difference associated with the VT interconversion of +8 and +96 kJ mol-1 for 1 and 2, respectively. A DFT analysis of this free energy difference highlighted the ability of the methyl-imidazole pendant arm of bmimapy favouring the onset of the VT phenomenon. This work introduces the imidazolic bmimapy ligand to the scientific community working in the field of valence tautomerism, increasing the library of ancillary ligands to prepare temperature switchable molecular magnetic materials.

Ativismo político de enfermeiras chilenas sindicalizadas: um estudo de teoria fundamentada em dados

Abstract Objective To explain the political activism of professional nurses affiliated with Nursing union organizations in Chile, through a theory based on data. Method It is approached from the interpretive paradigm, qualitative methodology, and with a systematic Grounded Theory design of Strauss and Corbin. The sample corresponds to 14 nurses who actively participate in union organizations. Conducting in-depth interviews, with several rounds of data analysis and interpretation for conceptual refinement, following the TF trajectory: open, axial and selective phase. Results Four codes are obtained, with 16 subcodes, which are expressed in the selective phase, through the political activism central code, which maintains professional depoliticization as a causal, intervening and contextual condition, which develops as a consequence of political disinterest, as well as the professional defense that groups the strategies carried out or identified to maintain professional activism arises. Conclusions and implications for practice The theory highlights political activism as the central code, and reveals weak collective strategies to promote professional political participation. This opens up interesting lines of research, and challenges for the teaching and community work of nurses.

Community-Based Participatory Research Approach to Qualitatively Examining Menstrual Health Experiences in Philadelphia, PA.

Context: Menstruation is a highly stigmatized topic across social, familial, and medical communities . Some people who menstruate experience severe symptoms, such as excessive bleeding or debilitating cramps. Roughly half of the world's population will menstruate at some point in their lives, thus destigmatized management of menses is critical. Objective: Qualitatively understand the lived menstrual health experiences among cis-gendered women ages 18-45 living in Philadelphia. Specifically, menstrual management tactics, commonly used resources and education, and additional desired supports. Study Design and Analysis: Qualitative community-based participatory research (CBPR) with No More Secrets (NMS), a Philadelphia-based grassroots sexuality awareness organization and menstrual health and wellness hub that provides free menstrual products and workshops. Interview recordings transcribed and analyzed using Key Words in Context approach. Written summaries and analytic memos of emergent themes prepared. Setting: Philadelphia, PA. Population Studied: Participants were recruited from NMS's Philadelphia catchment population using convenience sampling (N=20). Eligible participants included cis-gendered women, ages 18-45, who received a menstrual hygiene bag from NMS in the last two years Instrument: Interviews conducted in Fall 2020 via telephone (~30-35 minutes). Each followed a semi-structured question guide with probes based on a thorough literature review and NMS' prior community work. Participants received a $5 Walmart gift card and a three-month menstrual hygiene supply bag upon interview completion. Interview questions asked about menstrual health experiences, communication, and worries and concerns. Outcome Measures: N/A Results: Four themes emerged: (1) cycle characteristics; (2) cycle management; (3) resources used to understand and cope with menses, and (4) suggested future resources. Overall, participants spoke about menses as a generally negative experience, asked for more comprehensive, verified, trustworthy sources of information, and greater access to menstrual management supplies. Conclusions: Participants described vastly different experiences, biases, and needs regarding their menstrual periods. It is vital for providers to recognize that even though menstruation is a common physiologic process, every individual has different experiences. Further efforts to normalize and destigmatize menstruation, especially in health care settings is crucial.

Social work in Ukraine: development trends and problems before and during the war with Russia

The article is devoted to the analysis of development trends and problems of social work in Ukraine before and during the war with Russia. Using the method of historical analogy, the author examines the main trends and problems of the development of social work in Ukraine. Poland was chosen as a country that is culturally, historically, politically, economically and socially close to Ukraine. The article notes that there is a certain lag between the passage of the main stages in the development of social work in Ukraine and Poland. As the main trends in the development of social work in Ukraine before the start of military aggression by Russia, the article highlights the development of integrated social services and social work in communities, the establishment of effective professional training of social workers for work in local social services, etc. The main problems of pre-war social work include the lack of personnel for social agencies, the low level of prestige and wages of social workers compared to representatives of other professions, the lagging of formal education systems from the needs of professional activity, etc. Russia's military aggression made certain adjustments to social work in Ukraine and Poland. According to the results of the interview of managers and leading specialists of social agencies of the city of Kharkiv, as well as Sumy, Poltava and Dnipropetrovsk regions, which was conducted by the Department of Sociology of Management and Social Work of the School of Sociology of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University in November 2022, the main problems of activities of social workers in Ukraine are the absence of generally safe working conditions, as well as the absence of conditions for the performance of their official duties, insufficient personnel and/or their overload. In Poland, however, there were problems with establishing communication with forcibly displaced persons, it was also actualized the practices of providing psychological assistance to war victims, the workload of the personnel of social agencies increased significantly and others. The article concludes that the war with Russia and the problems in the activities of social agencies in Ukraine, to which it led, became a significant challenge for social work, capable to change the trends of its development

Сhoreographic Education Online: Pros and Cons

The purpose of the article is to analyse the latest findings regarding the advantages and prospects of online education with a projection on choreographic education. The research methodology is based on the use of a number of methods and approaches integrated from pedagogy, art history, social communications, and computer science. The use of general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis and generalisation enabled to better understanding of the main directions of modern research on online education and its advantages. The scientific novelty of the study consists in substantiating the possibilities of online choreography learning, in particular with the use of digital technologies. Conclusions. Choreographic education does not often lend itself to technological innovations and is characterised by traditional individual or frontal group classes. However, the potential of new technologies to improve student achievement and learning – if used appropriately – has long been recognised. Information technology makes learning effective, attractive, inspiring, motivating, increases productivity and helps to consolidate and retain knowledge. That is, the usual learning space simply needs to be expanded with the help of digital technologies to create authentic and exciting learning projects even for the usual classes of choreographic students, especially when it comes to online learning, when digital didactics can take advantage of both physical natural interaction and immersion into a virtual environment. The use of virtual reality, computer games in synergy with traditional teaching methods can improve learning in terms of active listening, attention, and time, showing great potential in the educational field. Besides, in the conditions when the use of online education is necessary, one of the important factors for improving art education, in particular choreographic, can be focus on the common interests, needs, intentions of teachers and art critics. These comprise mutual support, exchange of ideas in virtual communities, transparency, equal access to developments, peer review, and collaborative work in online educational communities.
 Key words: online learning, choreographic education, blended learning, teaching, digital technologies.

Keeping up with changing times: Student leaders, resilience, fragility and professional development

The Fallist movements of 2015/16 brought about rapid changes in the South African higher education space, which required student leaders to rethink their role as agents of change and transformation. Student leaders contribute as stakeholders and decision-makers in student governance, and some find themselves in a context where their working and living spaces become increasingly entangled. This is a particularly challenging context, where they are encouraged to think beyond the professional-personal binary. In this paper, we focus on the challenges student leaders face as peer educators in both on- and off-campus residences. The resilience and fragility of student leaders, and how these play out in their experiences at the University of the Free State, will be highlighted. The importance of self‑reflection, resilience and fragility in professional development will be explored. Through a study that included survey data as well as arts-based methods, we engaged with student leader experiences in order to understand how they negotiated challenges in a space of transformation and constant change. We found arts-based research to complement and support the more conventional data-gathering process. Our paper thus highlights how methodological inventiveness can address new and different questions that arise in our rapidly changing space. Through this, we hope to zoom in on the complex micro-social experiences of student leaders who live in spaces of transformation. Student leaders are in a unique position as people who live and work in the student community, and their role as peer educators remains unexplored. In this paper, we hope to contribute to a body of knowledge that could foreground student leadership in relation to transformed pedagogy.

MANAGERIAL PECULIARITIES OF STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE TERRITORIAL COMMUNITY

The topicality of the topic is due to the fact that the current state of the economy in Ukraine is characterized by crisis phenomena. After all, an incorrectly chosen strategy or its absence leads to a decrease in the effectiveness of community activity. In this connection, there is a need to manage the strategic development of territorial communities, which will enable communities to improve production and economic activity and get out of the crisis state. We all know that a territorial community is a voluntary association of residents of several villages, towns, and cities that have a single administrative center. Modern managers have to carefully analyze the external environment in order to make timely changes to the community's chosen course in the modern conditions of European integration. In the conditions of martial law, the sharp increase in the importance of management in relation to strategic development is also explained by the acceleration of changes in the socio-economic environment, in the conditions of the growing dynamism of the entrepreneurial environment, the internationalization and globalization of business, the emergence of new unexpected challenges and opportunities for business in communities, the achievement of science and technology, the development information networks and digitization processes, which make it possible to spread and receive information quickly, wide access to modern technologies, changing the role of human resources, as well as a number of other reasons. The purpose of the article is to clarify the essence of the strategic development of the territorial community in the period of instability and crisis phenomena and to substantiate recommendations for the development of appropriate development strategies. In the process of the research, the concepts of "development" and "strategy" were substantiated and clarified, namely, it was stated that the development of the territorial community includes the organizing influences of the environment, dynamic balance with it through self-organization, progressive and regressive processes. In order to create the proper conditions for the development of territorial communities, the factors influencing the formation of their development programs were determined, that is, under such conditions, the community will have the opportunity to develop progressively, if it meets the requirements for openness, dynamism, consistency of processes and imbalance. Recommendations for strategic needs and the need to take into account certain specific factors influencing the formation of strategic development were also substantiated: location, dynamics of its development, its potential; infrastructure development and diversification of economic activity in the community; behavior of investors and partners; characteristics of products or services produced by the TC economy; state of the local economy, cultural environment; health care and the level of quality and consideration of the interests of community residents. The formation of proposals for the creation of basic mechanisms for the work of territorial communities in difficult conditions requires further study.

DIGITAL STORYTELLING AND INTERGENERATIONAL COLLABORATIONS: OLDER ADULTS AND COLLEGE STUDENTS

Abstract The use of digital storytelling can be a helpful tool within community work, health and social work research and policy. Digital storytelling refers to life-story telling that can be done in a variety of ways and used to encourage social change and transformation. This presentation will include experience on how this method was used in a study and an intergenerational project between older adults and university graduate and undergraduate students. This group of older adults specifically shared their experiences with equine interactions and activities, while the university students worked with the older adults to create a digital story. For this study and project, recruitment included students enrolled in different disciplines. Discussion on digital storytelling’s connection to the narrative method and critical gerontology framework will be noted. Challenges and barriers, including Institutional Review Board and ethical considerations while preparing for this method will also be discussed.

Healing the Cartesian wound: Towards a re-membering pedagogy in theological education in South Africa

A decolonial practice and understanding of education (whether theological or otherwise) requires engaging, subverting, deposing and reimagining a whole ecology of imaginaries, practices, structures, institutionalities, traditions, power asymmetries etc.: a task that is far beyond the capacities of any individual, community or even generation. Cognisant of this reality, the article foregrounds the question of pedagogy in theological education (but only as an integral part of the colonial/decolonial ecology of education) and argues that in so far as our pedagogies in theological education treat students primarily as ‘thinking creatures’, we are engaging in a dis-membering pedagogy that reproduces the coloniality of being. I identify a Cartesian anthropology (‘ego cogito sum’) – engendering a host of dualisms giving artificial supremacy to certain dimensions of reality over others – as a key animating source of dis-membering pedagogies. Drawing on the ‘pedagogical excess’ (i.e. underexplored pedagogical themes) in the theological anthropology of Simon Maimela in conversation with pedagogical visions that cohere and extend his anthropological commitments, I argue that a re-membering pedagogy is, at minimum: a pedagogy of performative action, embodiment and (community based) liminality. I argue throughout the article that in the work of re-sourcing our animating anthropologies and re-imagining our pedagogies, we are engaged in the healing work of re-membering that which coloniality has torn apart: theory and practice, mind and body, the individual and relationality, the student and the teacher, the theological school and society.Contribution: This article outlines my attempts to theoretically and theologically ground (and extend) my espoused pedagogical commitments forged at the intersection of my community work and teaching as a theological educator in an undergraduate BTh programme. This article invites other theological educators to become conscious of the theological anthropology that their espoused pedagogical commitments assume and reflect on the pedagogical commitments that their theological anthropology entails, especially as it relates to the ongoing calls for the Africanisation/decolonisation of theological education in South Africa.

PUTTING IT TOGETHER: THE COMPLEMENTARY EFFORTS OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND AGING TO ADDRESS DEMENTIA

Abstract The Public Health Centers of Excellence are part of a larger effort by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through the BOLD Infrastructure for Alzheimer’s Act and the Healthy Brain Initiative, to advance cognitive health and dementia as public health issues – and to expand the public health response to the Alzheimer’s crisis. These efforts are designed to complement, not supplant, the long-standing work of the aging community to help people with dementia and their families. This presentation will discuss how the new and expanded public health work corresponds with the efforts of the aging community and will illustrate the unique roles of the public health and aging communities in the fight against Alzheimer’s. In addition, the presentation will review initiatives – such as the Milken Institute’s Alliance to Improve Dementia Care – that seek to bring both communities together on a common dementia agenda.

THE BOLD PUBLIC HEALTH CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE ON DEMENTIA: MOBILIZING PUBLIC HEALTH ACTION TO ADDRESS DEMENTIA

Abstract Under the BOLD Infrastructure for Alzheimer’s Act, passed by Congress in 2018, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) established three Public Health Centers of Excellence (PHCOEs) to address Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Awarded in the Fall of 2020, the three PHCOEs are: (1) Dementia Caregiving; (2) Dementia Risk Reduction; and (3) Early Detection of Dementia. Each PHCOE is charged with identifying, translating, and disseminating research findings and evidence-based public health best practices in their particular area of focus – and then working with state, local, and tribal public health agencies across the country to undertake dementia-related activities in their communities. This Symposium will feature an overview by Dr. McGuire of the BOLD Act and CDC’s efforts to address Alzheimer’s and related dementia, followed by presentations on the work and the plans of each of the PHCOEs. Dr. Gaugler will discuss the Caregiving PHCOE’s efforts to support unpaid caregivers of those living with dementia, including how best to meet the caregiving needs of diverse communities. Mr. Baumgart will present the Risk Reduction PHCOE’s findings on the state of the evidence on risk reduction and how that evidence is being translated to public health action. Dr. Chodosh/Dr. Borson will review the plans of the Early Detection PHCOE to increase awareness of the value of earlier detection and the best ways of conducting detection strategies. Finally, Ms. Super will discuss how this public health work complements the work of the aging community in addressing Alzheimer’s and related dementias.

The unexpected and unanticipated announcement of the “world’s first” gene edited babies: breaching, repairing and strengthening community boundaries

The 2018 announcement that the world’s first babies had been born following gene editing was unexpected and unanticipated. In this article, we focus on the reaction to the announcement and explore how this revealed implicit and explicit assumptions about the role and responsibilities of scientists and scientific standards. Through analysis of media coverage and public commentary about the birth of the “world’s first,” we identify how the event was constructed as a breach of scientific norms. We begin by identifying the use of an “if true” narrative, which contributed to the meanings of the technology and the births following the initial announcement. We consider two dimensions to the concept of “breach,” as an individual act of transgression and as a rupture of community norms. Finally, we consider the work of the broader scientific community in repairing the damage and their attempts to strengthen its boundaries to prevent future transgressions.

CONDUCTING COMMUNITY-BASED RESEARCH AS AN INSIDER AND OUTSIDER IN YOUR OWN COMMUNITY

Abstract As an Alaska Native from the Bristol Bay region, this presentation will discuss being an insider and outsider in your own community and how it impacts research studies. Using case studies from my dissertation research, this presentation will discuss positionality and how to collect objective data, the lack of objectivity in getting, analyzing, and reporting data, and how research methods influenced my study. I will also discuss challenges and benefits of being an insider, including enhancing the validity of the research process, data collection, and analysis, understanding the group’s culture. The results include trusting relationships with communities, the Elders’ voices guiding the findings, an appreciation for the challenge of conducting research as an insider and outsider. This presentation will conclude with a discussion on how to obtain objective data and ensure the accuracy of findings through community-engagement principles and the benefits of working in your own community.

ADVANCING COMMUNITY-BASED SOCIAL INNOVATIONS FOR AGING THROUGH ENGAGED RESEARCH

Abstract Community-based social innovations (CBSI) for aging are programs, initiatives, and other structures that support healthy aging and aging in community in ways that complement traditional health and human service systems. This symposium features research on several manifestations of CBSIs in the US. The first paper orients to innovation among aging services agencies, drawing on data from local Councils on Aging in Massachusetts to examine variation in their levels of engagement with age-friendly community (AFC) work. Findings elucidate the importance of community context and organizational capacity for deepening involvement in AFC work over time. Addressing innovation within communities as a whole, the second paper applies social network analytic methods to examine the constellations of connections among AFC core teams and their key partners across nine localities in New Jersey. Focusing on housing, the third paper presents findings from an evaluation of a national demonstration program to enhance the capacity of service coordinators within senior housing communities. This paper implicates the important role of services staff in systems innovation. Finally, with attention to creating age-friendly communities, the fourth paper presents findings from a project in Ohio that equipped older adults with a tablet-based transportation “diary” app. The findings demonstrate ways in which this technology facilitated deeper insight on users’ experiences in terms of their mood, with implications for transit design and programs. Collectively, the studies make evident the importance of leveraging the tools of research alongside engaged partnerships to strengthen the knowledge base for continued innovation in community supports for aging.

SENIOR CENTER INVOLVEMENT WITH DEMENTIA-FRIENDLY COMMUNITIES: COMMUNITY AND ORGANIZATIONAL FACTORS

Abstract As local hubs for aging services, senior centers are well-positioned to engage in dementia-friendly community (DFC) work. Yet centers vary in their engagement, especially as the DFC concept has been introduced only recently in the US. Using a mixed-methods approach, we drew on data from a survey of senior centers in Massachusetts, the US Census, and qualitative interviews with senior center staff to examine factors associated with DFC engagement. Centers that reported greater engagement were in municipalities with higher proportions of older residents from vulnerable groups (e.g., adults ages 80+, limited English proficiency, with a disability, living alone). They also reported greater programmatic, social service, funding, and staff capacity. Qualitative findings elucidated how senior center leaders drew on intrapersonal, interpersonal, organizational, and community assets to support local DFC efforts. We discuss implications for policies and practices to cultivate senior centers and other community-based organizations as leaders and partners toward DFCs.

OLDER ADULT ENGAGEMENT IN AGE-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY WORK

Abstract Drawing on 22 interviews with older adults across four states, this qualitative study explores how older adults perceive their age-friendly community work and the personal meaning they derive from participation. Based on iterative coding, findings indicate ways in which geographic differences in the structure and framing of local age-friendly community initiatives set the boundaries, scope, and potential customization of older adult engagement. Across geographies, motivations for starting and sustaining engagement included: perceived personal growth; social connectivity; outlets for advancing skills and passions; and satisfaction from making a difference in the lives of older adults and their broader community. These findings highlight the importance of conceptualizing older adult engagement in age-friendly community work as a dynamic process embedded within intrapersonal, interpersonal, organizational, and community contexts. Demonstrating multiple ways older adults contribute to placemaking, the findings have implications for older adult engagement at various levels and stages of age-friendly community initiatives.

Facilitating migrant youths’ inclusion into Swedish sport clubs in underserved areas

ABSTRACT The Swedish sports movement has gained an increasingly profound role in addressing social issues. One such issue is migrant youths’ social inclusion in underserved areas, and the underlying assumption is that sports clubs fulfill an important function here. However, retaining migrant youths in organized sports in these areas is difficult, and sports clubs often struggle with the resources to satisfy social policies. This paper explored the practices of 12 experienced Swedish sports clubs to illuminate the strategies deployed to recruit and retain migrant youths in underserved areas. Sports clubs were conceptualized as local development-initiatives according to Rothman’s community work classification, and the results were analysed with Bronfenbrenner’s Person-Process-Context-Time framework. The results show that sports clubs are run by compassionate and locally embedded individuals, but that the representatives’ different forms of capital and sensitivity differentiate their success. Three processes are stressed as essential. Clubs need to establish robust relationships with migrant youths’ parents. Secondly, since clubs are contingent on driven, but strained, individuals, it is imperative to recruit and utilize (migrant) youth trainers. Finally, sports clubs must work in tandem with important institutions, such as the school. In summary, sports clubs must adopt creative strategies, and have resilience, time, and support. These findings indicate that enabling migrant youths’ inclusion into sports requires holistic solutions.
