Видовое разнообразие делинквентных молодежных субкультур в современной России: опыт теоретического исследования

Social disorganization triggers the development of subcultures, both positive and negative. As part of innovative adaptation, a person or a group may update certain sets of values, thus offering an alternative solution to some existing contradictions. Destructive socio-cultural associations, on the contrary, revise and oppose the generally recognized and accepted values, which leads to protest activity and what Peter Berger defined as anti-societies. The article describes the current diversity of delinquent youth subcultures in Russia and their development. The author designed a typology based on sociological interpretation, affiliations, and risks: 1) subcultures with career prospects; 2) subcultures of antisocial leisure activities; 3) subcultures that imitate certain totalitarian organizations; 4) subcultures of escapism; 5) subcultures of gender orientation; 6) street subcultures; 7) school-shooting subcultures. This classification takes into account those aspects of social life that deserve special scientific attention. Each subcultural community requires a special interdisciplinary approach that would consider its socio-cultural and legal adaptation mechanisms, causes, and online and offline functioning.

Gender Roles and Mobile Dating Applications: Exploring Links Between User Characteristics and Traditional Gender Expressions in Self-Presentations.

This linkage study examined the prevalence of traditional gender expressions in the textual and visual profile cues on mobile dating applications (MDA) (nbiographies = 396, npictures = 1352) of 396 young adults' (Mage = 22.39 years, SD = 2.86, 73% women) with attention to users' gender, sexual orientation, and platform type. For 184 users (Mage = 22.10 years, SD = 2.91, 75% women) media content data were linked to self-report survey data. Results showed that individuals aligned their self-presentations with traditional gender roles and expectations, and this link depended on their gender. No significant differences according to individuals' sexual orientation or platform type were found. Individuals' (hyper-) gender orientation also related to engagement in traditional gender expressions. Specifically, women with a stronger feminine gender orientation expressed more traditional femininity in their MDA profiles. For men, no significant associations between (aspects of) a masculine gender orientation and expressing traditional masculinity in their MDA profiles were found. Future research should further disentangle selective gendered self-presentations.

Felt Pleasures

Featuring an array of Black people of a range of skin tones and gender orientations, Janelle Monáe’s “Lipstick Lover” video registers as a celebration of black queerness; it asserts that freedom comes with orienting toward pleasure. In this article, Musser argues that what distinguishes “Lipstick Lover” is the way that it is haunted by the lesbian. Lesbian appears not necessarily as identity, but as a specific orientation toward pleasure and being in the world that emphasizes the tactile and collective. And notably, in contrast to Monáe’s previous explorations of the future, here the lesbian is grounded in the past—1970s Jamaica, to be precise.

The perception of (trans)masculine speech: Effects of stimulus acoustics and rater identity

A large body of work has examined the acoustic characteristics of cisgender, heterosexual (cishet) men and women’s speech, and the acoustic features that predict listeners’ judgments of binary gender through speech. Considerably less work has examined the diverse ways that non-cishet men, non-cishet women, and people whose gender is neither exclusively male nor exclusively female express gender through speech. Moreover, there is relatively little work on how gender-diverse listener groups perceive gender through speech. This poster presents the results of a perception experiment designed to fill those gaps. Stimuli were multiple sentence productions of 20 masculine-presenting individuals, including cisgender men, transgender men, and transmasculine nonbinary people. These are described and analyzed acoustically in Dolquist (2023). Listeners were 88 cishet men, 62 cishet women, and 50 gender and sexuality diverse (GSD) individuals. Listeners identified gender identity, gender orientation (i.e., cisgender or transgender), and a variety of attributes for each stimulus. GSD listeners were more likely than cishet men and cishet women to identify voices as transgender or nonbinary, and were more likely to evaluate those voices favorably. Moreover, cishet men and women’s judgments of gender were more strongly predicted by sex-dimorphic acoustic characteristics like f0 than were GSD listeners’ judgments.

Gender-Based Linguistic Patterns in Quora Apps: A Comparative Study

There is a wide variety of interrelated social media platforms. Gender orientation can affect preferences for language use in particular social media, especially Quora, which is famous as a medium for collecting questions and answers on specific topics. Breaking new ground, this study uniquely juxtaposes gender orientation with linguistic preferences on Quora, an unexplored research area. This content analysis design employed textual data posted by Quora users in the "Skilled English Writing" forum during January-March 2023. Following Lakoff's gendered language theory, women frequently employ hedges to indicate uncertainty, whereas men use boosters to express confidence. The language of women was characterized by greater formality and formal grammar, whereas men favored informal abbreviations. In addition, women utilized emoticons for emphasis more frequently than males. These linguistic differences result from complex social, cultural, biological, and psychological effects, underscoring the importance of gender and social factors in language formation.

Harmonization or Conflict? The Case of LGBT in the Interpretation of Islamic Law and Social Norms

Amidst the waves of globalization and social change, issues pertaining to sexual identity and gender orientation, particularly those involving Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) individuals, have given rise to complex discourses within the realms of religion and society. This article explores the emerging differences of opinion surrounding LGBT, notably in Indonesia, where the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) rejects LGBT as a sexual deviation contrary to the teachings of Islam, while the Liberal Islamic Network (JIL) acknowledges the diversity of human sexual preferences. Concurrently, in the Western context, the LGBT movement has spurred demands for political recognition, healthcare protection, and roles within military and parliamentary institutions. Additionally, this article highlights the role of social media in reshaping societal perceptions of LGBT and its impact on existing stigmas. Within this framework, the Islamic view towards LGBT is examined, depicting the conflict between religious perspectives and societal norms. Nonetheless, Islam also offers tolerance within the context of worship. This research employs a qualitative analysis approach to scrutinize Islamic legal interpretations and diverse societal perspectives on the LGBT issue. The aim is to investigate the harmony or conflict between the Islamic viewpoint on LGBT and prevailing societal norms. By delving deeply into the two primary pillars that shape individuals' perspectives and behaviors—namely Islamic legal interpretations and societal norms—this article seeks to provide a broader insight into the dynamics of LGBT-related debates. Through an inclusive and scientific approach, this article aspires to identify emerging points of harmony and conflict, thereby offering valuable contributions to discussions on pluralism, tolerance, and human rights within the context of religion and society.

MEASURING GOALS, PRIORITIES, AND PREFERENCES: REFORM EFFORTS FOR TRANSPARENCY AND EMPOWERMENT

Abstract Longstanding evidence suggests that the goals, preferences, and priorities (GPP) of individual nursing facility residents may not be adequately addressed during episodes of care. Aligning care with residents’ GPP represents an opportunity to improve outcomes and reduce disparities associated with race, ethnicity, gender orientation, and other characteristics of the resident population. The 2022 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) report recommended improvement in quality measures under the domain of resident and family experience, along with reporting of these measures on Care Compare to improve shared decision-making and transparency. The subcommittee on quality improvement and measurement is focused primarily on measures of GPP as a useful addition to CMS’ plans to expand the Quality Reporting Program (QRP) measure set, which was signaled in the recently issued Skilled Nursing Facility Prospective Payment System (SNF PPS) rule. In this presentation, committee members will discuss the identification and testing plan for one or more resident experience of care measures that assess the experience of care specific to processes of care and the resident’s GPP. This presentation will also discuss the development of a care concordant measure, assessing the relationship between the care provided to the resident and the resident GPPs.

”Vi får lära oss helt nya sätt att tänka nu!”

This study investigates the potential to encompass questions about transgender and gender fluid identity in the school subject visual art in compulsory school years 7-9. A qualitative semi structured focus group interview was made with five visual art teachers who discuss visual art in relation to its potential to support personal development, exploration of identity and gender orientation in art education. The article discusses in what way visual art as a school subject can function as communicative support for pupils withgender fluid identity and in what way transgender individuals and individuals with gender fluid identity can be included in the arteducation in school. The results show that the visual art teachers believe that the subject visual art is a significant tool for pupils in communicating an inner dialogue with an external world. The results also show that multimodal methods give pupils the opportunity tobe exploratory and uncertain as well as support them in communicating what is unsaid and unwritten when exploring ongoing changes in gender identity. Visual arts can thus be a forum for pupils to talk about questions concerning transgender and gender fluid identification and serve as a democratic tool to counteract exclusion.

Бабки-повитухи, Бабин день и дети в ритуальных практиках албанцев Буджака и Приазовья в ХХ — начале XXI в.

The study addresses the status of women involved in childbirth, as well as the role of ritual practices associated with Babin Day (Babos Dita), in the past and present among the descendants of Albanian colonists in Budzhak and the Sea of Azov — with the main focus on the analysis of ways to express gratitude to those who know from the local community. The study aims to identify the conditions and mechanisms for the preservation of archaic beliefs and the entry of innovations into the traditional sphere. The nature of the holiday held in honor of midwives, which is also widely celebrated in the Balkans (primarily in Bulgaria), today does not have a narrowly oriented sexual or gender orientation, but is closely related to fertility. All available options for motivation and scenarios for holding a holiday come from the common root of festive rituals, which is based on the desire to glorify a woman’s ability to bear children. The research, based on the author’s long-term field observations, carried out from 1998 to 2022 both on the territory of Ukraine and Russia, and in the Balkans, allows us to conclude that the Albanians of Budzhak and the Sea of Azov, whose ancestors migrated from the Balkan Peninsula and the islands of the Archipelago in the last quarter of 18th (modern Rostov region) — the beginning of the 19th century (present-day Odessa and Zaporozhye regions), retained the same beliefs and ritual, as well as magical practices, which were largely unchanged from the time of their residence in the area of exodus. The analysis of these practices will help us understand a way to preserve traditions.

The Walt Disney Company and Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill

Research methodology This secondary source case is based mainly on legislative documents (that tracked the initiation and progress of the Parental Rights in Education bill that later became an Act), corporate documents (published by The Walt Disney Company) and news articles from publications such as The New York Times and Bloomberg. All sources are cited in the case narrative and as end notes. Case overview/synopsis In April 2022, The Walt Disney Company and its CEO, Robert Chapek, were at the center of a controversy over the company’s opposition to the State of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill. The bill, dubbed “Don’t Say Gay” by its critics, prohibited instruction on sexual identity and gender orientation in the state’s elementary schools. The controversy stemmed from Disney’s initial non-reaction to the bill and its later strident opposition and call for its repeal. Chapek was pressured by negative media publicity and employee disgruntlement on the one hand and adverse economic consequences for opposing the bill by the state’s Governor, Ron DeSantis. Chapek and the Board had to respond to the political threats to Disney’s economic well-being while appeasing its employees and other stakeholders who wanted the company to be a corporate champion in diversity, equity and inclusion. Complexity academic level The case is best suited for advanced undergraduate or graduate leadership, strategic management and marketing courses. From a leadership and strategic management perspective, the case is well-suited for demonstrating the evolving expectations of leaders and corporate social responsibility, as well as the concepts of issue framing and nonmarket management. Instructors may also leverage the case in marketing courses (e.g. brand management), as CEO activism (i.e. messaging and practice) is one characteristic of brand activism (Animation Guild, 2022).

Culture in early childhood education: Insights into Saudi preschool teaching

Culture is constructed by society and in turn constructs the identity of a people. The patterns of behaviors, practices, and values shared by a group of people represent and reflect their ethnic, religious, and gender orientations. Knowledge about people’s cultural backgrounds contributes to our understanding of the role of education in shaping past, present, and future generations. Therefore, this study explores preschool teachers’ cultural views regarding the teaching of young children in a Saudi early childhood education setting. A phenomenological qualitative research approach is used in this study. Data are collected through semistructured focus group interviews with 10 preschool teachers who teach young children in public preschools located in the western region of Saudi Arabia. The thematic analysis of the qualitative data reveals two main themes in the teachers’ narratives: i) Religion-based instruction; and ii) Gender-related issues. The participants in this study reported engaging in a set of practices that showed how their cultural identities, including their nationality, gender, religious beliefs, and history, influenced their roles as educators. Within the rich cultural context of Saudi culture, the teachers reported being strongly committed to their social and spiritual values when teaching young children.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to develop and justify a multidimensional sexual-oriented belief scale for adults over the age of 20. Methods To this end, the construct concept of gender orientation was newly established and questions were prepared, and the validity was verified by conducting preliminary tests and main tests on 1,372 adults living in Seoul and other regions. Results Overall, it is a concept of gender-oriented beliefs that can not only confirm the level of one's beliefs based on one's gender orientation after gender identity, but can also be used for selective intervention and evaluation by area as needed. Thus, the following research processes for scale development and rationalization are as follows. First, in this study, five factors of congenitality, acceptance of identity, uniqueness, sense of belonging, social antagonism, and a total of 35 questions were derived by adults over 20 to develop basic questions. The elicitation of these components was made through a review of several prior studies and empirical data at the consultation site. Based on the derived sexual-oriented belief items, 35 basic questions were developed, and the content feasibility of five experts was reviewed and revised to 28 questions again. The basic questionnaires were modified and utilized to conform to the sexual-oriented belief factors derived among the existing scales outside the country and the existing ones in the country. Second, the basic questions were redefined as five factors, 21 through exploratory factor analysis, and by ensuring stable model fit, reliability and validity by area through confirmed factor analysis, a sexual-oriented belief scale of 18 questions was developed, which is the final factor of 5. internal concordance .764 RMSEA value is taken into account with compatibility. good, and the simplicity with model .052 good index showed, and for longer to complete, the range of 95% confidence interval of at least to the maximum value. Confirmed that a good measurement accuracy by presenting a good model in .048~.056. Conclusions We hope that this study will become a tool for the consultation site to use relevant topics and appeals in a healthy and efficient manner by objectively identifying not only the inner circle's belief in sexual orientation but also the counsel's own belief in sexual orientation.

Redefining “LGBTQ+ InterCulture” in Academia

Members of the LGBTQ+ community often face discrimination, harassment, and exclusion in academic settings, which can negatively impact their academic and personal success. Studies have shown that LGBTQ+ students are more likely to experience negative mental health conditions, drop out of school, and struggle to find employment after graduation. Cultural humility fosters diversity, equity, and inclusion, which is critical to ensuring an equitable educational experience for all students, particularly those from marginalized communities. Intercultural understanding is essential to develop cultural humility so that attitudes reflect empathy and tolerance of differences, including sexual or gender orientation variances or ambiguity. Understanding how the power embedded in cultural climate marginalizes some while privileging others is vital to achieving equity.
