The Well-being of Art Teachers for Promoting the Sustainable Development of Art Education in Latvia

Due to the fact that it is vitally important for the people of Latvia to preserve and develop their national identity in today’s globalized world, it is especially important to maintain a high level of art education quality and promote the well-being of art teachers more holistically. In the era of growing globalization and multiculturalism, supporting Latvia’s unique cultural values is vital. The aim of the study was to explore the well-being of music, ballet, dance, and visual art teachers in the context of the sustainable development of art education in Latvia. In the interdisciplinary study, 72 music, ballet, dance, and visual art teachers were involved. According to the well-being criteria (positive relationships with others, self-acceptance, autonomy, the meaning of life, skills to fulfill life’s needs, and life goals), the research results were differentiated by demographic indicators. Considering the influence of school principals on the well-being of art teachers, the study identifies school management activities that can contribute to well-being in the workplace.

Comparative Analysis of the Infrastructure of the City of Astana with a Sociological Survey of the Mental Well-Being of Citizens in the Context of the Sustainable Development of the Urban Agglomeration

Rapid urbanization entails complex problems not only in cities, but also within urban agglomerations. In modern landscape science, the greatest problems are primarily related to the ecological state of urban ecosystems. In this context, the most important task of urbanism is the interdisciplinary study of urban infrastructure in relation to the well-being of inhabitants, with a focus on the sustainable development of urban agglomerations. The aim of this study is to conduct a theoretical analysis of interdisciplinary research on the interactions between humans and the urban environment in the context of intensive urbanization, as well as to be an empirical study of the relationship between the real ecological state of the city of Astana, based on the use of geographical, environmental, cartographic, statistical, sociological, and socio-psychological research methods, aimed at identifying the mental well-being of citizens in correlation with their consumed urban ecosystem services using an associative psychological experiment, socio-psychological survey, and GIS mapping. As a result of this study, the authors have determined that the research hypothesis 1 “Spatial representations of the city’s geoecological state are interrelated with the mental well-being and satisfaction with urban ecosystem services of citizens depending on the area of residence” is confirmed. Additionally, a positive correlation has been noted among the key indicators and criteria of geoecological condition, mental well-being, and satisfaction with urban ecosystem services across different districts of the city.

THRIVING IN THE SWEET SPOT: EXPLORING THE DOUGHNUT ECONOMY MODEL OF MALAYSIA, THE PHILIPPINES, AND VIET NAM THROUGH THE SUWI ANALYSIS (2010-2019)

Objective: The objective of this research is to evaluate whether Malaysia, the Philippines, and Viet Nam are within the doughnut economy from 2010 to 2019 using the sustainability window approach and to compare their levels of development. Theoretical Framework: This study is based on the Doughnut Economics Framework by Kate Raworth. This study explores literature that shows the relationship between economic well-being, social well-being, and environmental well-being. Method: The methodology used in evaluating these countries’ adherence to environmental and social well-being criteria is the Sustainable Window Analysis by quantifying the maximum and minimum economic development required for social and environmental sustainability by integrating socio-economic and environmental indicators to assess compliance with Doughnut Economics' social foundations and planetary boundaries. Results and Discussion: Results indicate that Malaysia achieved the sustainable window for all indicators except for healthy life and greenhouse gases. Viet Nam failed regarding healthy life, biodiversity, and clean energy. The Philippines failed in all environmental well-being indicators except for land use. Research Implications: These findings apply to policy-making by targeting areas that could not meet the sustainable window. It also reveals the applicability of the Doughnut Model to developing countries in ASEAN. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by filling literature gaps by providing significant results to future researchers planning to conduct future research in line with sustainable development and Doughnut Economics of a particular country of their choice.

Criteria for Assessing the Epidemiological Situation of Pertussis in Russian Federation

Relevance. Differences in case definition criteria and diagnostic recommendations of pertussis between different countries, pose challenges in the analysis and effective control of disease. An important component of successful surveillance is laboratory diagnostics, which, if used in a timely and quality manner, can influence the rate of reported cases. In addition, current criteria for epidemiological surveillance do not sufficiently take into account the severity of the disease and the vaccination status of the patient, which makes it difficult to take effective preventive measures. Aims. Assess the epidemiological situation regarding pertussis infection in Russia to propose criteria for epidemiological surveillance. Materials and methods. The data was obtained from official state statistics (form No. 2 «Information on infectious and parasitic diseases», No. 5 «Information on preventive vaccinations», No. 6 «Information on the contingents of children and adults vaccinated against infectious diseases») and analytical tables developed at G.N. Gabrichevsky Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology, including information on each case of pertussis and collected from the Rospotrebnadzor Directorates in the Russian Federation (in 2017–2022). Statistical data processing and plotting were carried out with R version 4.1.2. Results. From 2002 to 2017, the incidence of pertussis in Russia did not exceed the established norms. However, in 2019 there was an increase in incidence. In 2023, the incidence of pertussis reached record levels over the past 22 years – 19.0 per 100 thousand population. Vaccination rates against pertussis have remained high since 2003. The structure of cases shows that the majority of pertussis cases occur among unvaccinated children in the first year of life; deaths from pertussis are recorded annually, mainly among unvaccinated children under 2 years of age. From 2017 to 2019, the incidence among the unvaccinated was significantly higher than among the vaccinated; in 2020-2022, incidence among the unvaccinated decreased, but remained higher than among the vaccinated during the period of COVID-19 restrictive measures. There was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of pertussis severity in the periods before and after the COVID19 pandemic. Outbreaks of infection are mostly without spread, and in 2020-2022 the proportion of such outbreaks has increased. Schools remain the main site of infection, but the proportion of cases in kindergartens has increased. Conclusions. The following criteria for epidemiological well-being are proposed: subject to the achievement of timely vaccination coverage in 95% of people of decreed ages and timely implementation of anti-epidemic measures, there should be no deaths from pertussis, the incidence of pertussis should be sporadic and registered predominantly (more than 50% of cases) in the form of mild forms, the majority of pertussis cases occur among unvaccinated children in the first year of life (no more than 30% of vaccinated cases) and outbreaks without the spread of infection should prevail (more than 50% of cases) over outbreaks with spread.

Bodies at Work

“Home office” has become a reality for many employees. What is normatively at stake in this shift in the geography of work, given the various forms of structural injustice in our societies? Drawing on the normative criteria of employee well-being and protection from harm, autonomy, non-discrimination, environmental impact, and the role of workplaces as spaces of social encounters, I defend two claims: First, decisions about where individuals work need to be proceduralized on a fair basis, giving employees a voice. Second, giving up the workplace requires a broader discussion about alternatives spaces for social integration.

Autonomous motivational regulation as a resource for subjective professional well-being

The study focuses on subjective occupational well-being as its object of research. The subject of the study is to assess the impact of autonomous and controlled forms of professional motivation on the characteristics of subjective occupational well-being of industrial workers. The role of autonomous and controlled types of professional motivation concerning subjective occupational well-being is viewed within D. Leontiev's understanding of the «resource» category. The study sample consisted of 77 employees of two industrial enterprises in Barnaul, 48 of whom were directly involved in the production of material products, and 29 were engaged only in mental labor. Professional motivation was assessed in line with the Self-Determination Theory by E. Desi and R. Ryan, the concept of passion by R. Valleranda and K. Zamfira's approach. Subjective occupational well-being was investigated within the framework of the approach of E. Ruth and L. Augustova in addition to the optimal experience model of D. Leontiev. Established regression models demonstrated the positive contribution of autonomous motivational regulation to subjective professional well-being and, simultaneously, the negative impact of controlled motivation. The position on the importance of meeting basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness for the formation of autonomous motivation, put forward in the Self-Determination Theory, is confirmed in our study. The practical significance of the research is based on the described methods of organizing a professional environment that contribute to the satisfaction of every psychological need. The theoretical significance lies in the proposition to consider experiences as «primary steps» in shaping subjective occupational well-being. It also makes up for the lack of data on the role of professional motivation in achieving subjective occupational well-being obtained in the Russian sample, considering the domestic understanding of the criteria of subjective occupational well-being.

Психологічне благополуччя особистості

Background. The relevance of the study of the psychological well-being of an individual is due to the need to clarify the content, characteristics and criteria of this phenomenon, as well as to identify a functional model of the psychological well-being of an individual based on the theoretical analysis of the works of scientists and own research. The purpose of the article is to determine the essence, structure and factors of a person's psychological well-being. To find out the nature of the phenomenon of psychological well-being; describe the main criteria of psychological well-being; analyze the characteristics of psychological well-being. Methods. To achieve the goal, such scientific methods were used as: analysis, comparison, substantiation, generalization, systematization of theoretical and practical material on psychological well-being. Results. Considered examines the phenomenon of psychological well-being of an individual as an integrative formation, which manifests itself in the degree of focus on the fulfillment of the main components of positive human functioning, subjectively perceived as satisfaction with oneself and one's life. It has been established that the psychological well-being of an individual is related to his or her value orientations (life goals, life processes, and life efficiency) and vitality. It is shown that psychological well-being is the result of a sense of achievement and success in professional activities, harmony in personal life and attitude towards people. Сonclusions. Psychological well-being and its components help to understand the role of mental health (if we consider health as a component of well-being), its conditions and factors (if we consider a healthy personality) as a mature, authentic and successful self-actualized person in various areas. Psychological well-being is an indicator of a person's state of health, his social and psychological adaptability and efficiency of functioning.

A Method for Quantifying Back Flexion/Extension from Three Inertial Measurement Units Mounted on a Horse's Withers, Thoracolumbar Region, and Pelvis.

Back mobility is a criterion of well-being in a horse. Veterinarians visually assess the mobility of a horse's back during a locomotor examination. Quantifying it with on-board technology could be a major breakthrough to help them. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of a method of quantifying the back mobility of horses from inertial measurement units (IMUs) compared to motion capture (MOCAP) as a gold standard. Reflective markers and IMUs were positioned on the withers, eighteenth thoracic vertebra, and pelvis of four sound horses. The horses performed a walk and trot in straight lines and performed a gallop in circles on a soft surface. The developed method, based on the three IMUs, consists of calculating the flexion/extension angle of the thoracolumbar region. The IMU method showed a mean bias of 0.8° (±1.5°) (mean (±SD)) and 0.8° (±1.4°), respectively, for the flexion and extension movements, all gaits combined, compared to the MOCAP method. The results of this study suggest that the developed method has a similar accuracy to that of MOCAP, opening up possibilities for easy measurements under field conditions. Future studies will need to examine the correlations between these biomechanical measures and clinicians' visual assessment of back mobility defects.

The article presents a theoretical study of practical aspects of strengthening the psychological well-being of middle-aged men. And although in considering the peculiarities of the functioning of entrepreneurship, attention is primarily paid to the economic component, the psychological characteristics of the professional activity of entrepreneurs should not be overlooked. Psychological well-being is defined as a holistic experience of happiness, which is accompanied by a favorable emotional background and meaningfulness of being, as a result of the positive functioning of the individual, satisfaction, coherence and compliance of all levels of existential needs. Psychological well-being is subjective in nature, determined by the degree of satisfaction with life and the correlation of positive and negative emotions; contains the individual's focus on positive functioning, which is expressed in the experience of happiness and satisfaction with personal life. Acceptance of responsibility for one's own life and health, a tendency to self-knowledge and understanding, a clear hierarchy of values, and the ability to accept oneself and others are the criteria of psychological well-being. One of the factors that affects satisfaction with life and professional activities of entrepreneurs is a sense of psychological well-being, the ability to self-accept and implement a personal growth plan; to managing the environment and feeling like the master of one's own life; to setting goals in life and their consistent achievement. Also, the components of psychological well-being include positive relationships with others, including the possession of communication skills in entrepreneurs. Therefore, the study of the features of strengthening psychological well-being and the implementation of this knowledge in the practical sphere can significantly contribute to increasing the success of entrepreneurs in their professional activities. In accordance with the above, it is worth paying attention to considering the features of increasing and strengthening the sense of psychological well-being among entrepreneurs, which will provide the conditions for them to achieve success in their professional activities.

The Tawhidi Methodological Worldview as A Model of Circular Political Economy

The critique of mainstream socioeconomic reasoning in the light of the new yet opposing methodological worldview is explained by the specific problem of circular economy. Circular economy in its mainstream is functionally a macroeconomic concept disjointly constructed and explained away from any possible interrelations with microeconomics. Thereby, all the extra-domain of social and scientific phenomena are dissolved from mainstream socio-scientific reasoning. Yet reality is far from such a digitalized narrowed perception when viewed from the objectivity of the wellbeing criterion and its common sustainability prospect. In reference to such an opposing epistemic criticism the mainstream meaning of the General Flow of Goods and Services in the context of Circular Political Economy (CPE) is of exogenously separable connectivity of flows of inputs, resources, production, consumption, distribution, and re-circulation across financial and real economic sectors. Contrarily, from the participatory and unified organic linkages between micro-social entities aggregating to integrated society-wide unit of analysis, there is the new epistemic conception and methodology of a new GFGS-CPE understanding. This paper examines the emergent substantive methodological difference between the two worldviews – Tawhidi methodological contra mainstream

Summary of Findings from the Evaluation of the Current Periphery Building Environment for Lezha City's Future Vision

The city of Lezha has been traced along the Drini's riverbanks since antiquity, not far from its estuary. There are two different hills to the east of this territory, each with ruins of historical defences. Lezha's historical role as a well- fortified harbour was characterized by its geographical location. It has always been separated into two parts, the upper and lower city, due to its location. As a result of uncontrolled urban development after the 1990s and the phenomena it brought as a result in the territory, such as urban dispersal, extinction or damage to public spaces, construction in areas of sensitive natural and agricultural lands, as well as the endangerment of specific ecosystems, harmonization of sustainable urban development, appears to be necessary as a priority action. Sustainable urban development attempts to provide a high quality of life for all residents and users in urban areas by providing public services that meet certain criteria. The plan establishes the norms, conditions, and necessary criteria for development and well-being through hierarchization, consolidation, specialization, and centre regeneration, ensuring the construction of sustainable communities and the preservation of cultural and traditional values.

Predictors of happiness: regression modeling as a basis for determining the necessary actions and decisions

Identifying predictors of subjective well-being (happiness)-LS is one of the tasks of economics of happiness – a new direction of interdisciplinary scientific research. This is due to the recognition of the happiness of the population as a priority of state policy in accordance with the principle of people-centeredness in the 5.0 economy. The purpose of the study was to conduct a multiple linear regression analysis (MLRA) and identify the most significant predictors, to carry out experimental model calculations for Ukraine in order to determine the vectors and priorities of state efforts. The information base of the study was a sample of data from the World Happiness Report and The IMD World Competitiveness Ranking for 2021 for 54 countries of the world. The originality of the research consists in conducting the MLRA as a whole for all sample cranes and separately for 2 subgroups of countries (“Rich countries” and “Poor countries”), separated by the criterion of objective well-being – the average GDP per capita (40 thousand dollars)). Statistically significant regression models with a high value of the correlation and determination coefficient were obtained, which link the dependent variable LS and its predictors. It is statistically confirmed that the predictors of happiness are: SS – social support, HLE – healthy life expectancy, FLS – freedom to make life choices, GDP – GDP per capita; for the subgroup “Affluent countries” – SS – social support, DI – female/male income ratio, InfrHealth – health care infrastructure, G – generosity (listed in descending order of influence). The quality of the built model for the subgroup “Poor countries” is recognized as low, it is recommended to use the general model. Experimental calculations of the predictive value of the dependent variable LS for Ukraine were carried out when individual predictors were changed. The obtained results should be the basis for the development of a state program for increasing the happiness of Ukrainians in the course of the post-war revival of Ukraine.

МЕТОДИЧЕСКИЕ ПОДХОДЫ К ИССЛЕДОВАНИЮ СОЦИАЛЬНО-ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОГО БЛАГОПОЛУЧИЯ СТАРШИХ ВОЗРАСТНЫХ ГРУПП НАСЕЛЕНИЯ. АНАЛИТИЧЕСКИЙ ОБЗОР

Significance The process of population aging leads to the transformation of the needs of society, since a higher share of older age groups necessitates a qualitatively different assistance to ensure socio-economic well-being, in contrast to the pre-working and working ages. To ensure effective implementation of the measures aimed at improving socio-economic well-being in older age groups special research methods are required. Purpose of the study was to systematize and generalize approaches to the development of methodological support for assessing socio-economic well-being in older adults. Material and methods. The authors have analyzed literature sources on methodological support for assessing socio-economic well-being. Results. The literature review shows that multiple studies on methodology for assessing well-being have been actively published since the first half of the 20th century. While developing methods, the researchers were focused on aspects of socioeconomic well-being that were of the highest social significance at the time of development. Throughout the 20th century, approaches to the unambiguity of the well-being criteria have been evolving, researchers were determining a list of elements that constitute well-being. At the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, researchers were intensively focused on registration and investigation of subjunctive indicators, thus shaping a comprehensive concept of socio-economic well-being that was not limited to objective criteria only. Special methods that assess socio-economic well-being in older adults were introduced into practice only at the beginning of the 21st century; national researchers still develop and apply such methods less extensively, actively using non-specialized methods for assessing well-being. Conclusion. Based on the analysis, the authors have concluded that the development of methodological approaches to study socio-economic well-being in older ages is an urgent task that is being actively addressed by national researchers.

Сравнительный анализ физического развития школьников и детей, профессионально занимающихся плаванием

Health of children and adolescents is an essential criterion of well-being of the society. Monitoring of health among children is impossible without assessment of physical development of children and adolescents. Individual-based analysis of anthropometric characteristics is required to develop personalized preventive activities. Considering different levels of physical load of schoolchildren in case of a disturbed nutritional status, an approach to body mass constituent study that deviates from the normal values requires examination. The study purpose was to assess physical development and component composition in schoolchildren during a medical examination and in children involved in classic swimming at a sports club in the city of Samara. The study object involved children studying at a general educational institution and not engaged in any sports sections (first group), and children involved in classic swimming at a sports club in Samara (second group. Significant differences in basic values of body composition were found during the conducted study of physical development and component composition of schoolchildren who do not go in for sports and junior athletes.

Sanitary condition of poultry houses during broiler growing

In modern poultry farming, the problem of controlling microbiological contamination of poultry housing is essential and relevant. High levels of microbiological air pollution and abundant contamination of poultry production surfaces can be powerful and dangerous risk factors for the spread of opportunistic and pathogenic microflora. The health of poultry and its performance depends on the health and welfare of poultry houses іndustrial zone. Sanitary condition is an integral part of the overall operation of the process poultry farms. In the practice of industrial poultry entered, the term “biological fatigue”. We assessed the sanitary-bacteriological condition of poultry houses by the indicators of the total number of microorganisms in the air and by the isolation of pathogenic microorganisms. We determined the rates of bacterial contamination of surfaces and the air of poultry houses during the technological break-rearing broiler. The objects of the study were bacterial contamination of air and object poultry houses. Scientific research has been conducted on the technological break and release of objects from poultry. According to our study, we established high levels of microbiological air pollution in poultry houses on the 14th, 28-th, and 42-th day of broiler breeding. The total microbial count air of poultry houses does not meet sanitary standards. On the 14-th, 28-th and 42-th day, breeding broilers for meat in the poultry house bacterial contamination were 184.33 ± 43.52 thousand CFU/m3; 376.25 ± 84.84 thousand CFU/m3 and 786.68 ± 214.91 thousand CFU/m3. The article presents research results on poultry houses' sanitary and bacteriological indicators of leaching. We have established a high level of contamination of production surfaces. The isolates were: E. coli – (39.3 %), Salmonella spp., and Campylobecter spp. – (14.5 %), Streptococcus spp., S. aureus – 23.6 % Proteus ssp., Enterobacter ssp. – 22.6 %. The qualitative and quantitative composition of isolated microflora from poultry farms indicates significant risks of reducing the natural non-specific protective forces of the bird, the emergence of infectious diseases, and reduced productivity of birds. Thus, the sanitary condition of poultry houses is one of the main criteria for stable epizootic well-being in poultry and a guarantee of effective agribusiness.

Corporeal rehabilitation to manage acute stress in critically ill patients

BackgroundIntensive care unit (ICU) patients often endure discomfort and distress brought about by their medical environment and the subjective experience of their stay. Distress, pain, and loss of control are important predictors of future neuropsychiatric disorders. Depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress are common after discharge. We aimed at mitigating acute stress and discomfort via a novel intervention based on body image rehabilitation and rehabilitation of senses performed following a holistic approach guided by positive communication (corporeal rehabilitation care, CRC).ResultsWe conducted a prospective observational study on 297 consecutively enrolled patients participating in at least one CRC session. Benefits of CRC were assessed on both subjective analogical scales of stress, pain, and well-being criteria, and objective clinical measures of dyspnea, respiratory rate, and systolic arterial pressure, just after CRC and long after (a median of 72 min later) to estimate its remote effect. Results showed that CRC had a positive effect on all overt measures of distress (acute stress, pain, discomfort) just after CRC and remotely. This beneficial effect was also observed on dyspnea and respiratory rate. Results also showed that best CRC responders had higher baseline values of stress and heart rate and lower baseline values of well-being score, indicating that the care targeted the population most at risk of developing psychological sequelae. Interestingly, a positive CRC response was associated with a better survival even after adjustment for physiologic severity, indicating a potential to identify patients prompt to better respond to other therapeutics and/or rehabilitation.ConclusionThis study demonstrated the feasibility of an innovative holistic patient-centered care approach and its short-term positive effects on critical parameters that are considered risk factors for post-intensive care syndrome. Further studies are warranted to study long-term benefits for patients, and overall benefits for relatives as well as ICU staff.

Renovation of Modernist Housing Developments in the Pursuit of Modernity for Well-Being and Clean Energy

The research concerns renovation variants for modernist housing estates built in Szczecin, Poland during 1918–1925 and in Bialystok, Poland during 1950–1990. These buildings are now substandard in many ways; functionally, aesthetically, technically, and ecologically they do not fulfil the current energy efficiency standards. Some of them have architectural heritage, so not all energy-saving technologies can be applied. Renovations must include energy-saving improvements and the use of renewable energy sources. Equally important is the well-being of residents, meaning the quality of the apartments should be increased. The aim of this research was to analyze the renovation options in terms of energy efficiency and well-being criteria, as well as in relation to the cultural value of the buildings. The simplified energy calculation method was used to check the present buildings’ energy demands to compare them with retrofitting results. Three retrofitting possibilities were considered: low-cost, current standards, and near-zero energy. The results show that without EU financial aid, which will soon be introduced under the “Renovation Wave” program, such modernization projects will be difficult, making the target of 55% CO2 emission reductions compared to 1990 levels by 2030 impossible.

ВОСТОЧНЫЙ ВЕКТОР ДЕМОГРАФИЧЕСКОГО РАЗВИТИЯ РОССИИ: ИСТОРИЯ, ДИНАМИКА, ДЕМОГРАФИЧЕСКАЯ СТРУКТУРА

The article proposes a discourse about the presence of the eastern vector of Russia's demographic development. Methodological, general philosophical approaches to its definition in the system of demographic and national security of Russia are considered. The concepts of "demographic threat", "threat to demographic development" are analyzed. In a historical retrospective, the errors of refusal in some cases from the eastern vector of development, for geopolitical and demographic development, are considered. It is noted that the eastern territorial communities have long been distinguished by the mentality of a special "magic of the earth", an important factor in demographic and national security. The role of population dynamics and age-sex structure of the population is considered as the most important conditions for ensuring demographic security, a qualitative criterion of demographic well-being, the definition of which was proposed by S. Ryazantsev. The presence of such eastern regions, subject to, according to L.L. Rybakovsky, consistency, scientific validity, efficiency, effectiveness, timeliness, regional, social selectivity of demographic policy measures in these constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the strategy of the eastern vector of Russia's demographic development will continue.

The values of wildlife revisited

Wild animals are important worldwide because of the multiple values they represent for human societies. Different frameworks have been proposed to understand the values of wildlife from economic and noneconomic perspectives. Despite efforts from different disciplines to provide a holistic framework for the analysis of wildlife values, the focus is still based on the monetary value derived from market prices. Community-oriented approaches to wildlife conservation have an especially strong economic rationale because they depend on the economic costs and benefits that wildlife represents to local communities. However, purely economic approaches ignore that values are subjective and as such are perceived differently among stakeholders according to their social, economic, cultural, and ecological context. The lack of a holistic framework hinders the possibility to provide a clear and practical tool for the resolution of wildlife conservation conflicts and the identification of management options that maximize values. Based on a wide literature review, we propose a comprehensive wildlife value framework (WVF) incorporating the values of wildlife identified in the academic literature into the total economic value (TEV) framework. Costs associated with human-wildlife conflicts are also incorporated as well as subjective perceptions of values based on multidimensional well-being criteria. This work aims to provide a common structure within which different perspectives related to wildlife can be captured to inform multi-actor, multi-objective decision making related to wildlife management.
