Regenerative and innovative processes in the urban and peri-urban area of the city of Rome

Rome stands out for a fragility that stems from the disordered interpenetration of its rural soul with its urban agglomeration. The relationship between city and suburbs still appears complicated today and reverberates on the degree of social cohesion of its inhabitants. Bottom-up experimentation projects are being grafted into the extended area of the capital, reviving disused public property, abandoned land, to eliminate degradation especially in fragile contexts, developing regenerative processes of active citizenship. The purpose of the paper is to underline innovative experiences, in the urban and peri-urban area of Rome, pointing out their actions aimed at sharing common values, developing territorial welfare and protecting the environment.

Stress, Adaptation and Causal Pathways to Mental Health Disparities

Abstract The present article addresses the evolutionary dimension of stress process, specifically focusing on the conceptual division into ontologically ‘ancient’ and ‘modern’ stressors. A study conducted in Kyiv, Ukraine (n = 208) in 2020 examined the relationships between both stressor types and measures of short- and long-term mental health outcomes for both positive and negative sides of mental health spectrum. Three empirical observations are noted. (1) Modern stressors but not ancient stressors had a significant effect on depression measure, despite being rated as less severe stressors by the participants. (2) Neither type of stressors was found to affect flourishing. (3) High current socioeconomic status and high degree of social cohesion attenuated the effects of modern stressors (but not that of ancient stressors) on depression; at the same time, socioeconomic status did not diminish the participants’ perceived stress levels. The theoretical implications for the adaptationist perspective on stress, mental health and health disparities are discussed.

Exploring engagement theories and models to enhance teacher retention strategies

This study thoroughly examines the two complex theories related to work engagement in the context of teacher retention. Emphasising the crucial significance of achieving a harmonious and cohesive degree of engagement, it aims to address the urgent problem of teacher attrition. The study creates a unified narrative that redefines teacher retention, especially in marginalised communities. It reframes the topic by integrating Kahn's theory of engagement with Schaufeli et al. model of work engagement. These two theoretical frameworks provide teachers with a deeper comprehension and direction in navigating the complexities of their profession, assisting them in achieving long-term commitment. This study offers both theoretical insight and practical recommendations for educational institutions and policymakers to enhance teacher retention.

"City upon a Hill" in the Face of Significant Challenges

The editor-in-chief proposes a context for examining the crisis processes in American society explored in the articles. The author suggests that this crisis should be viewed in the context of the American history cycles. Many of the current conflicts in the USA have a similar internal source, which is a sharp intra-elite conflict involving a significant part of society. This conflict is unusual in its depth, given that for many decades the «trademark» of the American political class has been its consensus character. One important element of this consensus can be seen as an unquestioned focus on global American leadership and a shared commitment among members of the community to the force imperatives in foreign policy – either the classic “hard” or “flexible” power. Among the sources of American foreign policy continuity are a number of factors. First, it is the stability of institutional mechanisms of decision-making, which, in turn, is based on a stable system of representation of dominant interests. Second, the stability of formal and informal institutions that ensure a high degree of elite cohesion; and the specificity of American political culture, which is based on a set of political and philosophical views of messianic nature. The consensual nature of the political elite was the system-forming basis of liberal democracy, so the breakdown of this consensus may entail – and partially has already entailed – a crisis of the US political system.

Influence of multilevel governance on land use change in China's rapidly urbanizing metropolitan from low-carbon perspective

Low-carbon oriented land use change is crucial to tackling climate change issues in rapidly urbanizing metropolitans. Previous studies lacked to consider how the cross-level interaction within multilevel governance of metropolitan areas affect the land use change. In order to simulate multilevel governance interaction, this study proposes a land use simulation model, facilitating a comparative analysis of simulated results under different scenarios. Taking Hangzhou as the empirical study area, the results show that the predicted scale of construction land with high carbon emissions is smallest in interactive governance scenario. Its overall low-carbon performance of land use is the best among all scenarios, with a Polycentric Degree of 0.7856 (N = 4) and 0.9142 (N = 6), and Cohesion Degree and Land-Use Degree Index are 101.8320 and 101.7944 respectively. This study revealed that the interactive governance effectively curbs the growth of land with high-carbon emissions, promoting the spatial carbon efficiency and the low-carbon oriented spatial layout. Multi-level governance provides a framework for effective implantation of low-carbon oriented land use change objective and plays an important role in promoting its low-carbon performance. This study innovatively incorporates governance parameters into the land use prediction model, providing guidance for optimizing land use governance in metropolitan areas.

Detecting geographical patterns in the EU’s interregional flows: A multilayer hierarchical approach

This paper develops a multilayer statistical model to examine geographical patterns of different types of interregional flows within the European Union (EU). The results first reveal the success story of the EU regarding the goal of territorial cohesion in the flow of people. Next, they capture a differential level of each type of interregional flows contribution to the overall market, where flows of capital prevail and knowledge flows lag. The analysis also reveals a diversified degree of cohesion in the interregional flows market describing Germany, the United Kingdom, the “blue banana” regions, the Central and West Europe’s coastal regions, and the East Europe’s regions. Although the EU’s path to regional development looks in the right direction, there is evidence that “borders still matter”, equipping economic geographers and policymakers with an instrumented approach for modeling and evaluating the integration of spatial economies.

Family cohesion and its relationship to the level of ambition among high school students

Introduction. By investigating family cohesiveness and student ambition in the Karak Educational Directorate, this study sheds light on how family dynamics affect high school students' ambitions. In a specific cultural and educational setting, it examines the intricate relationships between family togetherness and student ambition. The study's regional focus makes it stand out; it furthers our understanding of how families affect adolescents' growth and development and provides helpful data for educational policymakers in similar circumstances. The study aimed to explore family cohesion and its relationship to the level of ambition among high school students in the Karak Educational Directorate and the effect of the variables (gender and academic field) on them. Study participants and methods. This study used the descriptive correlational approach, and the sample consisted of (858) high school students in the Karak Qassabah district. After developing them and verifying their validity and reliability, the family cohesion and ambition level scales were used. Results. The study indicated that high school pupils in the Karak Educational Directorate had an average degree of family cohesion. The areas of communication and empathy had the greatest average scores (3.93), while intellectual stability and conformity had the lowest (3.51). On average, we got 3.66. The pupils demonstrated a high degree of ambition, with an average score of 3.74 indicating a range from a high of 3.89 for optimism to a low of 3.62 for tolerance for frustration. There was a strong positive association (r=0.572) between ambition and family cohesiveness. Regarding the correlation between family unity and aspirations, gender disparities benefitted women, whilst in the realm of academia, they favored students majoring in science. Practical significance. The study highlights the significant impact of family dynamics on students' aspirations. As a result, it's clear that teenagers whose families are generally cohesive have high levels of academic ambition, highlighting the importance of parental encouragement in this important life transition. The results offer important information for parents, teachers, and lawmakers, especially on the gender and academic speciality differences in family cohesiveness and aspirations. In order to inspire and motivate high school pupils, this study stresses the importance of supportive home settings and individualised educational plans. Future efforts to improve students' educational and personal development through family involvement might use this research as a basic reference.

Stability analysis of ultra-high and steep reinforced soil fills slopes based on strength reduction

The research focuses on solving the important problem of slope stability in the field of civil engineering. The study adopted an advanced strength double reduction coefficient method for slope stability analysis, which considers the different influence weights of cohesion and internal friction angle, and reduces them with different reduction coefficients to describe the stability of the slope. The simulation experiment results indicate that the attenuation degree of cohesion and internal friction angle affects slope stability. When the reduction coefficient of cohesion increases to 1.737 and the reduction coefficient of internal friction angle increases to 1.201, the slope is prone to instability and failure, and the safety factor of the calculated result is 1.493. Moreover, when the anti-slip pile is set in the middle of the slope (1/2), and the slope is in a critical state, the bending moment and shear force suffered by the anti-slip pile are both maximum, so the reinforcement effect is also the best.

Spatial network structure and influencing factors of carbon emission intensity in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao greater bay area

Introduction: In response to China’s ambitious dual-carbon goals, this study investigates the spatial correlation and influencing factors of carbon emission intensity within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Great Bay Area (GBA), a region pivotal for the nation’s energy conservation and emission reduction efforts. Through a comprehensive analysis encompassing the period from 2000 to 2020, this research aims to delineate the spatial dynamics of carbon emissions and identify actionable insights for regional low-carbon development.Methods: Utilizing an integrated methodology comprising spatial autocorrelation analysis, Social Network Analysis (SNA), and the Quadratic Assignment Procedure (QAP), the study analyzes carbon emission data alongside socio-economic variables. These methodologies allow for a nuanced exploration of the spatial correlation structure and the determination of factors influencing carbon emission intensity across the GBA.Results: Findings reveal a cyclical fluctuation in the spatial network of carbon emissions from 2000 to 2020, characterized by varying degrees of cohesion among cities, indicating significant opportunities for spatial optimization. A “core-periphery” pattern emerges, with economically robust cities such as Hong Kong and Macao at the core, and less developed cities like Huizhou and Jiangmen on the periphery. Cities like Guangzhou and Shenzhen play crucial mediator roles. The QAP analysis further identifies six major influencing factors: geographic spatial proximity, economic development level, urbanization rate, industrial configuration, level of technological innovation, and environmental protection efforts, with the latter four having a markedly positive impact on spatial relevance.Discussion: The study’s insights underscore the importance of understanding the spatial dynamics of carbon emissions and the role of socioeconomic factors in shaping these patterns. For policymakers and stakeholders in the GBA, these findings highlight the necessity of targeted intervention strategies that consider both the unique position of cities within the spatial network and the broader socio-economic context. This approach can significantly contribute to achieving China’s dual-carbon objectives, promoting energy conservation, and facilitating the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Mapping solidarity: organizational density of hometown associations in Istanbul

ABSTRACT This study explores cohesion levels within Istanbul's internal migrant groups, focusing on formal solidarity networks and Hometown Associations (HTAs). It examines disparities in organizational density within formal associations among these groups and identifies the underlying factors that contribute to the varying degrees of cohesion. The findings highlight a contiguous region at the intersection of the Black Sea's hinterland and Eastern Anatolia, where migrants in Istanbul exhibit higher levels of solidarity through organizational density. HTAs originating from villages tend to concentrate in peripheral settlements, while city and district associations are prevalent in central residential areas. This research adds to the understanding of internal migration and solidarity networks, offering a data-driven basis for further studies. It presents an innovative metric for quantifying the bonds within migrant groups, crucial for evaluating their social capital. This metric serves as a foundation, encouraging a broader research agenda to deepen insights into migrant social capital.

Construed Organizational Ethical Climate and Whistleblowing Behavior: The Moderated Mediation Effect of Person-Organization Value Congruence and Ethical Leader Behavior.

An organizational ethical climate enhances the degree of collaboration and cohesion among employees and facilitates the development and interests of organizations. Such roles lead to organizational sustainable development and survival. Therefore, the importance of ethical climate in organizations is becoming increasingly apparent. In this background, this study aims to explore whether an organizational ethical climate can improve whistleblowing behavior and the mediating role of organizational identification in promoting whistleblowing behavior. Most previous studies have only focused on the mediating or moderating role of the model. This study expands the research field, adds the dual moderation of person-organization value congruence and leader ethical behavior, and verifies two moderated mediation models. Overall, the purpose of this study is to determine the behavior of employees under the influence of an organizational ethical climate and, on this basis, propose suggestions for strengthening organizational ethical climate, expanding the scope of research on organizational climate and providing a theoretical basis for related research. In order to achieve the research goals, the data were collected from 344 Chinese SMEs for empirical analysis. The results showed that an organizational ethical climate has no direct impact on whistleblowing behavior but could have a positive effect on whistleblowing formation through the mediating variable of organizational identification. In addition, person-organization value congruence and leader ethical behavior significantly moderated the mediating role of organizational identification between organizational ethical climate and whistleblowing behavior. Finally, the directions that can contribute to future research were suggested.

Structural and stylistic features of german phraseological units with a coloronym component

The article presents an analysis of the structural and stylistic features of German phraseological units with a coloronym component and considers the peculiarities of the relations between the components of these constructions. The point of view established in linguistics is that stable phrases with adjectives expressing basic color concepts are phraseological units. The author identifies and structures nominal and verbal groups of phraseological units with a coloronym component, presents an analysis of the relationship between the components of stable phrases containing a color designation. It was found that the functions of classification and amplification stand out as the main functions of coloronym adjectives within a stable phrase. The theoretical and practical significance of the study consists in substantiating the originality of structural and stylistic features of German phraseological units with coloronym adjectives, which is due to the degree of cohesion and the nature of rethinking the components of the structure. The possibility of using an adjective as a semantically pivotal word in a stable phrase is proved.

Disruptions to HIV services due to the COVID pandemic in the USA: a state-level stakeholder perspective

BackgroundThe United States envisions a 90% reduction in HIV infections by 2030. However, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the HIV continuum and disproportionately affected access to social and health services for people at the highest vulnerability. This study shows how stakeholders in the State of Michigan handled disruptions and their key recommendations. As a case study, this study adds to the literature about preparedness for future pandemics.MethodsWe interviewed 33 statewide Michigan HIV/AIDS Council members—practitioners, researchers, and community representatives, guiding service planning, improvement, and resource allocations, measuring group cohesiveness using a tested scale. We measured group cohesiveness as a proxy for how individual opinions reflected those of the Council as a group. We used qualitative questions to assess: (1) how the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted HIV prevention; (2) how disruptions were handled; and (3) recommendation to help address disruptions now and in the future. Using thematic analysis, we coded the interviews.ResultsWe found a high degree of cohesiveness. Participants agreed that the pandemic disrupted HIV prevention services (e.g., HIV testing, PrEP education, referrals to primary care, etcetera) offered by community organizations, hospital clinics, and health departments across the state. In response, they developed online and curbside services to maintain HIV services, abate social isolation, and address structural issues like lack of food and public transportation. We organized results in four categories: (1) HIV service disruptions (e.g., “Housing for women and children who are fleeing a legal situation”); (2) Responses to disruptions (e.g., “Some of them, we would say, hey, weather permitting, we’ll come out to your car”); (3) Minoritized groups disproportionately affected (e.g., “Especially in my community, to get people if there’s ever a vaccine, Black people are going to be the last people to take it”); and (4) Recommendations (below).ConclusionsThe pandemic unsettled and further exacerbated every aspect of HIV service provision. The main recommendation was to overhaul communication systems between government and organizations offering HIV services to mitigate disruptions and improve the chances of achieving a 90% reduction.

The Nexus of Functional Stupidity Geometrics: Unpacking the Stupidity Theory on Leadership as a Toxic Mix Between Leaving a Legacy and Leadership Failure in Business Organizations

This study fires shots on the irony of corporate stupidity in the 21st century. The present study reveals that corporate functional stupidity is viral among both smart and non-smart corporations leader, small and big corporations- capitalizing on leadership and intra-organizational power dynamics and the level of imbalances in authority between those leading and those being led [leadership-follower matrix]. The practice by corporates, especially leadership from within, to ‘construct and build huge’ systems of communicative blockades ear-marked at blind-folding and encourage employees to accept demonic and exploitative work practices as a prerequisite for corporate survival is ontologically surprising and a major cause for concern. This stupidity paradox in corporations spear-headed by leaders advances the notion that power dynamics and imbalances in authority at work places create stupid leaders who represents a distinctive form of cognitive failing. Paradoxically, modern corporations appear more stupidified from within. Stupidity is here viewed as functional and is understood definitively as a form of conceptual self-hampering, characterized by aetiology and with a range of delirious effects on both individuals at work and corporate performance at the other extreme. Functional stupidity, is in its entirety an “active refusal of using one’s intellectual capacity in other than myopic ways” and leadership. The present study is a product of the researcher’s quest and thirst for ontological perspectives in determining, what characterizes stupidity and determine the emancipatory models that are needed to contain the over-acculturalization of the practice. The primary research question posits and examines the salient characteristics of corporate functional stupidity. Together with other secondary questions, this question raises issues focused on interventions (stupidity management) leaders can make to drive down levels of stupidity in their corporates and make their organizations less stupid. A mixed methodological design is adopted in order to comprehend the ontology of functional stupidity as well as the original episteme of the same. This is done by reviewing existing literature on functional stupidity, with observatory and experiential knowledge obtainable from the researcher’s work experience. The employment of discourse analysis and content merging of other studies conducted elsewhere is becomes the pedal for data analysis. The primary finding is that corporate stupidity can translate into a dangerous sense of futility that prompts even the brightest employees to abandon objectivity and silently accept absurd tasks. Corporate stupidity is a common hazard in many companies but paradoxically enough-it can prove useful to maintaining a certain degree of cohesion. Study further shows that stupid leadership attempts to structure individuals' internal conversations in ways that emphasize positive and coherent narratives and marginalize more negative or ambiguous ones. Stupid leaders throw up a variety of communicative blockades that encourage employees to accept bad practices as an inevitability of life in the particular organizational ontology within which they find themselves. The study further perspective is that many corporations are caught in the stupidity paradox: they employ smart people who end up doing stupid things. This can produce good results in the short term, but can pave the way to disaster in the longer term. Paradoxically, the study reveals that when people are seized by functional stupidity, they remain capable of doing the job, but they stop asking searching questions about their work, get over possessed with loyalism and loose creativity and innovation. Smart corporations encourage stupidity that this pays off in the short term, but creates problems in the long term. The study recommends that systematic de-stupification and denaturalization of corporate leadership discourse is a necessary undertaking. The creation of deliberate innovative support cultures cannot be over-emphasized. The study unapologetically stands and proposes very practical steps that can be used to destupidify our corporations. Future research need to be contacted focusing on the benefits of creating stupid corporations whose stupidity manifests through the behaviour of its leaders. This study is not complete until further study is conducted across all corporates to deduce how stupidity can be transformed into both medium and long term benefits to the corporation.

The Effect of Social Cohesion on Subjective Individual Quality of Life in European Countries

Many scholars have studied the effects of economic conditions on subjective well-being, but scarce attention has been paid to the effect of cultural and social determinants on quality of life. This study aims to analyse the effect of social cohesion considered as a characteristic of a country on subjective quality of life. In addition, we also tested the moderating effect of social cohesion on the relationship between income and placement in society with quality of life. To test our hypotheses we estimated a multilevel regression model. First, we estimated the null model, which showed that almost a quarter of the variance in quality of life is located at country level. Second, we included in the model all the level-1 predictors. This model highlighted that self-evaluated position on the social ladder has a larger positive effect than income on quality of life. In the third step, we added country-level predictors. Controlling for other macro factors—GDP, Life Expectancy, Gini coefficient and Homicide rate—and individual-level variables, we shows that Cohesion exerts a positive effect on subjective quality of life. The model also points out that country’s economic conditions (measured by GDP) do not affect quality of life when we control this relationship for social cohesion. Interestingly, also the within-country economic disparities (measured by Gini coefficient) do not seem to affect quality of life when cohesion is taken into account. Finally, we also shows that the positive effect of income on quality of life is moderated by cohesion. In other words, income is a relatively less important factor in determining quality of life in countries with higher levels of cohesion. In the same way, individuals’ position and perception of their placement on the social ladder affects in a lesser extent their quality of life in those countries that have higher degrees of cohesion.

A Double-Layer Coupled Network Model of Network Density Effects on Multi-Stage Innovation Efficiency Dynamics: Agent-Based Modeling Methods

This paper proposes a double-layer coupled network model to analyze the multi-stage innovation activities of online, and the model consists of two layers: the online layer, which represents the virtual interactions among innovators, and the offline layer, which represents the physical interactions among innovators. The model assumes that the innovation activities are influenced by both the online and offline network structures, as well as the coupling effect between them. And it simulates the entire innovation process including knowledge diffusion and knowledge recombination. The model also incorporates the concept of network density, which measures the degree of network connectivity and cohesion (network structure). Observing the network density influence on innovation efficiency during the innovation process is realized through setting the selection mechanism and the knowledge recombination mechanism. The coupling relationship between the two layers of network density on the three stages of innovation is further discussed under the theoretical framework of the innovation value chain. Simulation and experimental results suggest that when the offline network density is constant, a higher online network density is not always better. When the online network density is low, the sparse structure of the online network reduces innovation efficiency. When the online network density is high, the structural redundancy caused by the tight network structure prevents innovation efficiency from improving. The results of the study help enterprises to adjust and optimize the internal cooperation network structure at different stages of innovation in order to maximize its effectiveness and improve the innovation efficiency of enterprises.

A similarity-conformity-based clustering and decentralized feedback mechanism to manage incompatible decision-makers in large-scale group decision-making

This study proposes a similarity-conformity-based clustering and decentralized feedback mechanism to manage incompatible decision-makers (DMs) in the large-scale group construction decision-making problem. Firstly, conformity is proposed to measure the consistency of the most preferred alternative of any two DMs and then extends this concept to define the similarity-conformity level of DMs. The average conformity between DMs in a subgroup represents the cohesion degree of this subgroup. Based on these concepts, a new clustering method considers the conflicts of interest among DMs and introduces the similarity-conformity to divide them into several subgroups. Then, the number of DMs in a subgroup and the cohesion degree are combined to formulate the subgroups’ weights. A decentralized feedback mechanism is proposed to manage two categories of incompatible DMs in the consensus-reaching process. The proposed consensus model adjusts the incompatible DMs’ opinions or subgroups’ weights under four scenarios. In the proposed model, the four adjustment methods prove to be convergent, and they improve the group consensus level by ensuring the DMs’ conformity and the logical consistency of preference relation. Finally, it provides an example of the alternative selection for transportation infrastructure construction. The comparative study and the sensitivity analysis are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

'Den armen gedeylt'. Differentiaties tussen stad en dorp in de zestiende-eeuwse publieke armenzorg in de Antwerpse Kempen.

This article bridges the gap between studies of urban and of rural poverty by including both contexts it a comparative analysis. Using the accounts of the Holy Ghosttables it compares the 16th century poor relief between rural and urban communities in the Campine region and focusses on differences in the financing and the structure of the social expenditure, the social position of the Holy Ghostmasters and the generosity of the relief. Although surprisingly many similarities in outdoor relief existed between town and village, the extent of the relief was significantly higher in the Campine cities of Herentals and Hoogstraten than in the neighbouring villages. This cannot be explained by the different power structures or degrees of social cohesion and inequality but by the scale of the local urban economies and the surplus capacity of the urban middles classes.

Prevention of School Bullying Among Adolescents of Individual Educational Organizations for Students with Disabilities: a Model of Antibulling Competence and Evaluation of its Efficiency

The scale of bullying among teenagers is becoming global. Students with intellectual disabilities are subjected to emotional, physical and mental pressure in educational institutions for children with disabilities, which ensures the need to develop and implement an anti-bullying competence model of prevention. The study involved 26 teenagers from Kursk Boarding School No. 3 at the age of 14-16. Data collection was carried out through observation and conversation using standardized methods for diagnosing the socio-psychological determinants of bullying. The implementation of the ascertaining and control stages of the formative experiment included diagnosing the risk of bullying, sociometric status and the prevalence of bullying in the educational environment, as well as evaluating the results using statistical methods of mathematical analysis (“Statistica 11.0”). Developed in accordance with the competency-based model of preventing school bullying among adolescents, the program is aimed at reducing the level of bullying through the optimization of their intragroup relationships. Evaluation of the results of its implementation testified to changes in the prevalence of bullying and a change in the status-role structure of the experimental group in comparison with the control group and with the results of primary diagnostics, and hence its effectiveness. The class team showed a high degree of cohesion, discipline and organization. Measures were successfully carried out to raise awareness of all participants in the educational process, to create a favorable socio-psychological climate in the school community for the comprehensive development of the personality of adolescents with intellectual disabilities. Adolescents demonstrated high activity not only during school hours, but also outside school hours.
