Ensuring gender equality of modern youth

The problem of gender discrimination is relevant and has not yet been resolved. The appearance of this problem was influenced by many factors, such as the formation of a stereotypical image of the role of women in society, male privileges, and socio-cultural prejudices regarding roles and rights based on gender. In the article, the author considers the reasons for the formation of gender stereotypes in society and the technology of gender formation, as a product of social processes and technologies that encompass the practice of everyday life and include various technologies, for example, cinematography and advertising. The author cites examples of advertising in the 50s as one of the technologies for the formation of gender roles in society. Unfortunately, our society still faces the problem of gender discrimination, starting with the distribution of gender roles at an early age and stereotypes about behavior in society depending on gender. This proves the relevance of the research as a guarantee of the implementation and application of appropriate actions regarding the formation of gender relations in society to ensure gender equality of modern youth. In view of the above, the purpose of the article is to define the concept of gender and factors that influence the formation of stereotypes regarding the role of women in society. Ukrainian realities have proven the need for the formation of new gender relations in society based on the construction of the necessary legislation and the debunking of old stereotypes. The practical value of the results is that they can be used to determine ways to build legislation on gender equality, as well as to take additional measures in society to revise gender roles and improve gender relations.

“It's never telling me that I'm good!” Household experiences of testing a smart home energy management system with a personal threshold on energy use in Sweden

Although smart technologies are widely promoted as enabling flexibility in households' energy demand, they often fail to achieve substantial impact. How smart technologies are actually used and to what extent they enable changes of energy-reliant practices in everyday life therefore needs to be better understood. This paper evaluates a smart home energy management system, Ero 2.0, which was tested by households in a multi-residential building in Sweden. To our knowledge, apart from its forerunner, Ero 2.0 is the first of its kind to include a personal threshold on energy use varying with the availability of preferred energy sources. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 participants, complemented by pre and post surveys, answered by 39 and 32 participants respectively. Overall, Ero 2.0 contributed to raised awareness regarding electricity and water use. To some extent, it also contributed to changes in practices, mainly through changed or reduced use of certain functions. However, it was less effective in enabling shifting practices in time. Difficulties to change practices were found to depend on: (1) lack of flexibility in everyday life, (2) limitations in size and layout of the dwelling, (3) lack of incentives and perceived impact, (4) lack of guidance and (5) lack of possibilities to control devices through the interface. The second point is an aspect that to date has received little attention in smart energy research. Design opportunities for future smart home energy management systems are discussed while acknowledging that such technologies cannot alone achieve the transition to more sustainable energy systems.

The Role of Religion in Transforming Ghanaian Society: A Christian Perspective

Globally, while some scholars assert that religion is anachronistic and inhibits the human rights of people and frustrates the social progress of society, others are of the opinion that religion can be a catalyst for the transformation and development of individuals and groups. In Ghana, the role of religion in society is very much ambivalent. On the one hand, religion is a force for change and transformation in the lives of individuals and society. On the other hand, religion has also been the basis of intractable violence, conflict and turbulent divisions within families and among groups. This article, which is based on archival materials, seeks to investigate the role of religion in Ghanaian society and to determine what extent it can be a force for change and transformation. The article argues that, religion has the potential to bring about change and transformation in society, but this can only happen when the different creedal persuasions, especially Christians bring their faith to bear on their actions in the practice of everyday life. The article concludes that, the power of religion to occasion change and transformation in the different sectors of society depends on how Christians surmount the challenges of everyday life and synergize faith and works in the private and public spheres of life.

Professionalism and everyday practices in early childhood education and care: Singaporean pre-service teachers’ perspectives

ABSTRACT Notions of professionalism are central to how EC teachers enact practice. We explore how a group of Singaporean early childhood education and care (ECEC) pre-service teachers (PSTs) understand the notion of professionalism in this paper, drawing on their identity text work. The analysis is grounded by de Certeau’s thinking on the practice of everyday life, examining ideas about space, strategies and tactics. Findings show that PSTs’ notions of professionalism involve creative tactical use of resources and space in ECEC settings. We argue that this reflexive identity work challenges ways of knowing, foregrounding alternative spaces for understanding professionalism.

The Effectiveness of Wearable Devices in Non-Communicable Diseases to Manage Physical Activity and Nutrition: Where We Are?

Wearable devices are increasingly popular in clinical and non-clinical populations as a tool for exercise prescription, monitoring of daily physical activity and nutrition, and health-related parameters management. In this regard, smart devices not only assist people in pursuing a healthier lifestyle, but also provide a constant stream of physiological and metabolic data for management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Although the benefits of lifestyle-based interventions (exercise and nutrition) for NCDs are well known, the potential of wearable devices to promote healthy behaviors in clinical populations is still controversial. In this narrative review, we aimed to discuss the current application of wearable devices in NCDs, highlighting their role in prescribing and monitoring daily physical activity and dietary habits in the population living with chronic diseases. None of the studies considered specifically addressed the efficacy of the use of wearable devices, and limited are those that incorporate monitoring of both physical activity and nutrition for NCDs. However, there is evidence that such devices have helped improve physical activity levels, physical fitness, body composition, and metabolic and psychological parameters. Therefore, the authors believe that the benefits obtained from the use of wearable devices are likely to translate to public health and represent one of the important tools for the development of prevention plans in everyday life and clinical practice for optimal patient management.

Green Walls: Everyday Ecofascism and the Politics of Proximity

AbstractQAnon's rallying cry of “the storm” on January 6 and thereafter articulates a structural taxonomy of planetary scale and apocalyptic eschatology that pervades the environmental imaginaries of contemporary fascism. While they become visible only in times of emergency and states of exception, this essay argues that equal attention needs to be paid to expressions and operations of ecofascism in the mundane places and practices of everyday life. Expanding beyond the geographic and historical specificities of Nazism and its transatlantic dialogue with North American settler colonialism, this essay theorizes everyday ecofascism as an oiko-logics and oiko-nomics across borders, a transversal condition of deeply globalized, inextricably interconnected structures and systems.

Visualising electricity demand: use and users of a 3D chart from the 1950s

Showing electricity demand by the hour, day, month and year, this 3D chart offers a rich visualisation of energy data in the UK from the years 1951–54. Acquired by the Museum of Science & Industry, Manchester, the object is significant as a tangible record of past practice, both of the electricity supply industry and its consumers. In this paper, we offer a close inspection of the object, and following its clues, we generate ideas about the chart’s use and users. In addition to commenting on the rhythmic patterning of daily and seasonal loads, we reflect on the role of the object at the time of its construction, in terms of forecasting, price-setting and load-shifting, and lobbying and demonstration. The object literally materialises electricity demand, providing a distinctive 3D representation, and in so doing prompting questions about how demand changes over time, and in time, and how our practices of everyday life constitute this demand. We conclude by offering a new interpretation of the object as a tool, as well as historical data.

Education since 2010: Hirstian echoes

Abstract Although Paul Hirst was no longer working in the educational field between 2010 and 2020, echoes of his ideas resonate through the decade. I look at three examples. [1] The National Curriculum. In the 1990s Hirst had been critical of the newly introduced National Curriculum of 1988, built as it was around ten foundation subjects rather than practices of everyday life. While curricular reforms under the Labour governments of 1997–2010 came somewhat closer to his ideas, there has been a reversion since then to a subject-centred curriculum, with tests and examinations based on it much to the fore. But calls for more attention to social issues like climate change and ethnic diversity have Hirstian resonances, as have critical comments on the status quo from leading figures in politics and the inspectorate. [2] ‘Powerful knowledge.’ This notion, closely associated with the sociologist Michael Young, has been widely influential in educational circles since 2010. Its original definition in terms of bodies of knowledge with their own systems of concepts, is reminiscent of Hirst's celebrated and later abandoned ‘forms of knowledge’ theory. The paper speculates on possible biographical explanations of this commonality. [3] Teacher education. In 2017 HMCI Amanda Spielman commented on the need to improve teachers’ poor understanding of curriculum theory and notes that in the past it was better. This chimes with comments of Paul Hirst in 1994, although it is not clear how far Spielman would support his view that this work should first be rooted in practical teaching experience.

Artist’s Project: New York Times Interventions, Voice and Speech Paintings

In this artist’s statement, I discuss my political motivations for an ongoing series of interventions into New York Times coverage of recent political developments in the United States since the 2016 election. I root this practice of critical intervention in two major influences on my project, the writings of Virginia Woolf, in particular A Room of One’s Own (1929) and of Michel de Certeau’s The Practice of Everyday Life (1984); in my interest in representing women as filled with language; my interest in giving women voice, an access to speech; and my motivation in the necessity for breaking through political isolation and despair to create communities whether physical or virtual.

Готовність представників покоління «зумерів» купувати екотовари та підтримувати сталі практики бізнесу

The article examines the problem of the readiness of typical representatives of the Ukrainian generation Z, who are currently from 10 to 24 years old, to buy eco-products and support sustainable business practices. The basis for the relevant conclusions was the results of a Google Forms survey of students of the Scientific Lyceum at Zhytomyr Polytechnic and students of Zhytomyr Polytechnic State University (N = 174). Based on the analysis of the answers, the most common characteristics of the product were systematized, according to which a typical representative of gen Z determines that it is an eco-product (green color, packaging, energy efficiency, environmental label, relatively higher price, shelf life, does not harm the environment, includes no plastic, made from recycled resources, made from natural biodegradable materials). Attention was also drawn to certain characteristics of eco-products («the possibility to return packaging (glass)», «the product is not tested on animals», «the product is not disposable», «if I am familiar with the manufacturer from past experience», «support for sustainable production», «sign (labeling – green crane)», «minimum packaging», «waste minimization»), which can also set trends in this area in the future. Based on the confirmation of the hypotheses put forward (1. Representatives of the generation Z are insensitive to the higher level of costs (the product is more expensive) associated with the purchase of eco-products and support for businesses that position themselves as sustainable; 2. Representatives of the generation Z practice sustainable practices in everyday life; 3. Representatives of the generation Z support the production of eco-friendly goods and the involvement of business in sustainable development practices) – it was verified that a typical representative of the generation Z is characterized by: insensitivity to the higher level of costs associated with the purchase of eco-products and support for businesses that position themselves as sustainable; implementation of sustainable practices in everyday life; supporting the production of eco-friendly goods and involving businesses in sustainable development practices. A further direction for research is the need to develop an integrated approach to the creation of digital educational content for the marketing purposes of a business that professes sustainable practices and sells eco-products.

МНЕНИЕ МЕДИЦИНСКИХ РАБОТНИКОВ О ПРОБЛЕМЕ ОТВЕТСТВЕННОГО ПОТРЕБЛЕНИЯ

Significance. “Responsible consumption and production”, numbered 12, is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations. Health professionals are part of the social circle of the majority of the country's population. The level of trust in health professions makes it possible to believe that the lifestyle of doctors and people associated with healthcare (as well as the lifestyle of teachers, educators, media personalities) can often serve as an example to follow in terms of responsible consumption provided the media develops and raises awareness of its significance. The purpose of this study is to measure the attitude of health professionals towards responsible consumption. Material and methods. Attitudes were measured via a questionnaire developed by the research team. The electronic survey included 2923 respondents signed in the "Doctor's guide" mobile application, including doctors - 65% (Group 1), nursing staff -9% (Group 2) and students and technical staff - 26% (Group 3). Frequency comparison was undertaken using Chi-squared test. Relevant risk and potential error were calculated. Data analysis was carried out using Microsoft Excel 2016. Results. With a more frequent declaration of the need for waste sorting, doctors in everyday life practice it less often than nurses: 39.7% vs. 46.6%. More than 5% of the respondents believe that there are no waste processing enterprises in Russia at all. Only a quarter of the respondents explain their disengagement in waste sorting for recycling by personal traits and motives. More than a tenth of the respondents are ready to engage in waste sorting only if there are incentives or prohibitions, more than 5% associate their unwillingness with the lack of skills to sort waste, as well as the presence of strong opponents to waste sorting in their inner circle. There was no difference in the distribution of the responses across all three groups of the respondents about the dual system of municipal waste sorting (everything that belongs to the category of “recyclables” must be thrown in the blue container) operating in the Republic of Tatarstan and the Moscow region. Almost 14% of the surveyed health professionals neither had the slightest idea about this system or plan to sort waste, while about 55% did not know, but are going to use this system. Half of those who knew about the dual sorting system (15.9% of the respondents) doubt that it can be trusted. A fifth of the respondents do not know where to dispose of hazardous household waste that cannot be thrown in a regular waste container and note that there are no hazardous waste drop-off sites. Conclusion. The study demonstrates that health professionals have a low commitment to responsible consumption. As to medical disposables, doctors consider their replacement with reusable analogues acceptable and rational more often than nurses. In general, health professionals do not share the idea of a long-term and careful use of household items with a possible subsequent donation or re-sale.

МАТЕРИАЛЫ АРХИВНЫХ ФОНДОВ О ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ ВСЕРОССИЙСКОГО ОБЩЕСТВА ОХРАНЫ ПАМЯТНИКОВ ИСТОРИИ И КУЛЬТУРЫ. 1965–1980-Е ГОДЫ

The article presents a review of Russian archival funds related to the protection of historical and cultural heritage and the activities of the All-Russian Society for the Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments (hereinafter VOOPIK, or the Society). The study is based on materials from various state organizations, including the State Ar-chive of the Russian Federation (GARF), the Perm State Archive of Socio-Political History (PermGASPI), the State Archive of the Perm Krai (GAPK), the Center for Documentation of Public Organizations of the Sverdlovsk Oblast (CDOOSO), the United State Archive of the Chelyabinsk Oblast (OGACHO), and the Perm Museum of Local Lore (PKM). The relevance of the study lies in the growing interest of the state, academia and society in both grassroots activism and mass voluntary organizations in the late Soviet Union. The Soviet experience is particularly valuable as many of its initiatives are being revisited in contemporary Russian reality. The main basis for Soviet studies are ar-chival sources, which are regularly introduced into academic circulation. The aim of the article is to study and classi-fy archival sources on the above topic. In addition to the review, the article provides a brief historiographical over-view of the problem's research status, as well as a historical note on the activities of the VOOPIK. The author identi-fies several types of sources in archival funds and provides a brief description of each. An important role in studying the activity of Soviet mass organizations is played by the determination of the levels of research – from the republi-can (RSFSR) to regional (oblast, krai, ASSR) and grassroots (district, city) levels. This division justifies the use of both central and regional archives, as the archival sources from Central Archive (GARF) provide an understanding of the specifics of the functioning of the central apparatus of the VOOPIK, while the sources of regional archives recre-ate a picture of activism on “grassroots level” where the main productive activities of the Society took place. When using archives of different levels, one can change the optics of research and study VOOPIK from different angles. The study pays particular attention to the “Letters to VOOPIK” written by Soviet citizens to authorities, media, and voluntary organizations regarding the protection of historical and cultural heritage. These letters, which were a com-mon practice in Soviet everyday life, can shed light on the motives and goals of the activists.

Moving lifestyle migration beyond the sun: a eudaimonic well-being approach

ABSTRACT Lifestyle migration studies have gained increasing attention from various disciplines, yet the eudaimonic well-being approach is a neglected research area in the relevant field. This study examines international lifestyle migrants’ eudaimonic motivations and experiences, thus focusing on beyond the widely investigated external factors such as climate and economic conditions. To this end, using a qualitative approach, interviews were conducted with lifestyle migrants who permanently live in Alanya, a resort town on the Mediterranean coast in Turkey, to reveal their everyday life practices. The findings indicate that lifestyle migrants benefit from the new living condition in various ways to fulfill their eudaimonic well-being including its dimensions such as autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, purpose in life, positive relations, and self-acceptance. Thus, the study reveals that migration to Mediterranean coastal regions includes not just enjoying better economic and weather conditions but also existential issues as well. Therefore, the research uncovers the eudaimonic aspect of questing well-being through lifestyle migration, hence, offers a new perspective. The study provides theoretical and managerial implications and contributes to the tourism and migration field.

Impact of the pandemic on lifestyle components of resource-rich citizens

The article describes impact of the pandemic spread, the regime of self-isolation and social distancing on certain lifestyle components of resource-rich Russians living in big cities. The presented results are based on a series of specially held in-depth interviews. The lifestyle was considered in terms of such components as: communication practices, consumer practices, leisure and recreation, vacation. In addition, general assessments of the period since the beginning of the pandemic spread were identified in terms of changes in attitudes towards health, plans for the future, and the government's influence on preventing development of crisis processes. The conducted interviews allow us to draw preliminary conclusions that the introduced regime of self-isolation and social distancing had a rather serious impact on such components of lifestyle as the forms of communication practices in everyday life; leisure and recreation; vacation planning; health-preserving behavior. The numerous problems that the respondents faced as the result of the introduction of anti-epidemiological measures, inevitably caused the growth of negative moods, the intensification of existential fears because of the uncertainty of the situation development in the future. At the same time, the crisis contributed to emergence of new opportunities associated with active development of information technologies, which are among the most important factors in the transformation of the old way of life. If respondents, who are employees at some companies, are more likely to take wait-and-see attitude to the pandemic-related changes, but those respondents, who are entrepreneurs or self-employed, have shown a more active reaction to the changes by improving their business models and diversification of their activities.

PENDIDIKAN AKHLAK BAGI REMAJA PERSPEKTIF SYEKH MUSTHAFA AL-GHALAYAINI

Moral education for teenagers is very important. Because teenagers are the next generation who will continue the baton of a nation's struggle. The thing that is very important is given to teenagers the moral education material that must be taught to them. This research is a library research, where the primary sources of data collection uses by researcher is in the form of Sheikh Musthafa al-Ghalayaini's monumental work: "'Izhah al-Nasyi'in", and the secondary sources are getting from another references that still relevance with this research. While the approach used is a historical approach, which is tracing the background of Sheikh Musthafa al-Ghalayaini's thoughts on moral education and moral education materials for teenagers by explaining the factors that trigger the emerge of this thought. The data analysis technique used is content analysis. This method is used to analyze Sheikh Musthafa al-Ghalayaini's thoughts about education and moral education materials for adolescents. Then, it identified by grouping into the stages; identification, classification, and interpretation. The final result of this research is that the characteristics of Sheikh Musthafa al-Ghalayaini's thoughts are included in the category of independent thought and different from several other styles of thought, namely, the specification of fiqh, literature, and philosophy. However, it still hold onto the Qur'an and al-Sunnah. While the moral education material offered by Sheikh Musthafa al-Ghalayaini, generally introduces a form of thought that prioritizes the realm of practice in everyday life that emphasizes inculcating morals in children's souls from an early age. This statement does not mean to deny other theoretical concepts.. However, the work of Sheikh Mustafa al-Ghalayaini is an illustration of real steps that must be implemented in the context of everyday life.

Everyday life along a regenerated urban river in Shenzhen

Many developed Asian cities have prioritized urban river regeneration, which translates into radically transforming the cityscape by retrofitting multi-purpose blue and green infrastructure. Still, many questions remain about socialization and space: Who are the users? Which activities are performed? Do landscape settings and contextual urban conditions impact the use patterns of regenerated urban rivers? This study aims to answer these questions by focusing on a highly successful urban river regeneration: the Futian River in Shenzhen. In total, 3,373 users and 24 activity types were observed along the river three times (two weekdays, one weekend day). The observations revealed different uses throughout the period: aged 40+ visited in the morning and those below 40 visited mid-day; males (56.7%) and young adults (42.6%) are represented categories for sex and age group, respectively. The most popular activities were walking (28.6%), relaxing (15.2%) and picnicking (7.3%). Behavioural mapping highlighted the clustering of users and activities in specific locations, so the river space provides crucial recreational space for low-income villagers. Through these findings, this study can provide insights about user habits to designers and policymakers producing responsive spaces and policies. This research will also contribute to the shifting attention towards the practice of everyday life.
