Popular vote as a form of online dialogue between government and society

The authors consider the popular vote as a mechanism of convergent movement of power and society in the context of the formation and development of the digital public sphere. The theoretical and methodological basis of communication between government and society is analyzed. The search for modern forms of dialogue between government and society is made in the context of discussions on the use of remote electronic voting (DEG) in the electoral process. The role, opportunities, prospects and risks of online voting in Russian regional and municipal practice are assessed, in particular, in the implementation of the program "Formation of a comfortable urban environment", which is a positive experience of equal and effective interaction between government and society, offers one of the possible directions of public dialogue, the essence of which is the transition from an archaic subject-object models for intersubjective communication. The research is based on a dialectical understanding of socio-cultural processes and phenomena, on general scientific and logical methods of cognition. Statistical, institutional and comparative methods are used. The scientific novelty lies in the study of online voting as an effective form of achieving public consensus within the framework of a specific federal program. It is noted that online voting corresponds to the electoral culture of Russian society, its conventional features. The necessity of broad inclusion of citizens in the discussion and implementation of land improvement programs and other socially significant projects is substantiated. The motives that provide these programs with significant public support are revealed. The data characterizing the quality of the urban environment in the Central Federal District are summarized and analyzed. The conclusion is made about the relationship between the popular vote and the growth of the urban space quality index. The resources of the urban environment quality index and the popular vote are evaluated as conditions for the formation of a healthy competitive field, where the main engine is awareness of the responsibility of the administration and residents of the region for the prestige of their region. Recommendations are formulated on the institutionalization of online voting to solve problems that determine the current regional and municipal agenda.

Philosophical and Methodological Challenges of Creativity

At all stages of its development, higher education considered the training of an educated specialist capable of improving their professional qualities, reproducing and expanding social experience, transforming the material conditions of society and its culture as well as accumulating and creating new values and knowledge as its main goal.
 At a certain stage, however, this social function of higher education – the formation and development of a creative personality of a specialist, became distorted, devalued, and lost its fundamental meaning. Higher education gradually began to lose its creative functions.
 The process of restructuring the political, spiritual, social, and economic life of society has posed new questions about the individual and the objective need for increasing the role of the creative personality.
 Studying the patterns of students’ thinking development, the peculiarities of their socialization under new conditions, and the realization of the creative abilities of the individual, while changing priorities and values, allows for predicting promising trends in the development of science, technology, and culture in the nearest future.
 An important methodological principle that should be embedded in the center of educational policy during the predicted period is the recognition that the progress of any society is measured by the ability to realize the essential capacities of individuals, their degrees of freedom, moral self-improvement, personal development, and the movement of society towards a new historical form of humanism.
 An individual in society should be free and retain the freedom of conscience, thought, skills, profession choice, cultural interests, aspirations, and priorities.

Analysis of the main provisions of the theory of parallel-hierarchical transformations

The article presents an analysis of the main principles of parallel-hierarchical transformations theory. The continuous movement of society towards the automation of everyday life requires the creation of fundamentally new software and hardware solutions. Considering the current physical limitations of integrated circuits, it is evident that improving software processing is the way to go. The main problem lies in the increasing complexity of architecture and supporting such code. The ideas of parallel-hierarchical networks allow for a significant increase in processing speed through process parallelization while maintaining the relative simplicity of the software solution's architecture. The proposed structure of the parallel-hierarchical network allows for modelling the operation principle of a distributed neural network and forms a deterministic network using spatial-temporal division. The general rules of direct and inverse parallel-hierarchical transformation and their application to image recognition tasks are discussed. A block diagram of the algorithm for the basic model of nonlinear direct network transformation is shown. A mathematical model of direct parallel-hierarchical transformation is presented using an example. Compared to known numerical transformation methods involving simple operations like addition, the model enables complex functional signal processing in real-time scale, as well as unambiguity and reversibility with good convergence of the computational process.

High School Sustainable and Green Chemistry: Historical–Epistemological and Pedagogical Considerations

In this paper, a distinction is first made between environmental, sustainable, and green chemistry; the last two are then examined in relation to the more general problem of environmental education. A brief historical digression on the Science, Technology, and Society movement attempts to dissect reasons why chemistry is seen by the general public as a problem, not as a decisive resource for the realization of the ecological transition. Although sustainable and green chemistry can be decisive in overcoming the insularity of chemical disciplines in high school, it is not well-embedded in educational practices. This situation is slowly changing thanks to the implementations of systems thinking in teaching practice, showing interconnections between the molecular world and sustainability. Historical and epistemological studies provide an all-encompassing framework for the relationship between chemistry and the environment in a broad sense, giving a solid foundation for educational projects. Specific operational goals can help chemical educators in supporting real learning, as well as an examination of the fundamental axes of sustainable and green chemistry, according to the criteria of Scientific and Technological Literacy. Finally, the results of some research carried out in secondary school are presented. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the interdisciplinary-systemic approach in teaching chemistry as well as in guiding future green careers and reducing the gender gap, preparing high school students in the best possible way to face the challenges of an increasingly interconnected and complex world.

Stakeholder-orientation in the Governance of Israeli cities and local communities: a qualitative meta-analysis

ABSTRACT Stakeholder-orientation is useful for managing conflicts between stakeholders and strategizing urban sustainability. This qualitative meta-analysis explores the characteristics and challenges of stakeholder-orientation in the governance of Israeli cities and local communities. Main findings: (1) migrants and immigrants, third sector and civil society movements, and religious groups are more protagonists in the Israeli urban governance in comparison to general urban contexts; (2) Though influenced by communicative planning, more effort should be made to strengthen stakeholder-orientation as a sustainable urban strategy; and (3) The power of networks has its attention increased in Israeli urban governance as in other contexts worldwide.

Menuju Green Society dengan Pemberdayaan Masyarakat di Desa Tlogohaji

Community service through Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) is a form of student participation to contribute to the environment and the surrounding community. One of the issues in a sustainable village is creating a society that pays attention to the environment and achieves a clean and healthy life through the green society movement. The main goal of the Bojonegoro University KKN Tematik Kolaboratif 22nd group in 2023 in Tlogohaji Village, Sumberrejo District, Bojonegoro Regency, is towards a green society. To create a green society, various outreach, and counseling are carried out to increase awareness of community behavior towards better personal health and the environment. Some activities initiated include PHBS counseling and PPPK training at schools, counseling on the 3R concept for PKK, and planting trees in the village environment. With these various activities, it is hoped that the village community can apply clean, healthy behavior and care for the environment from a young age (children) to adulthood.

Acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease: what's new?

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a preventable heart disease that remains endemic in developing countries. More than 30 million people in the world suffer from RHD, of which approximately 300,000 die every year, despite the fact that this disease is preventable and treatable. After a period of relative neglect of rheumatic heart diseases due to a decrease in the incidence in developed countries, interest in this problem has increased again over the past decade, due, apparent­ly, to an underestimation of its true prevalence due to the subclinical course of carditis. Research over the past two decades has demonstrated the advantage of diagnosing RHD with echocardiographic screening based on World Heart Federation echocardiographic criteria, which is 10 times greater than the clinical auscultatory picture only and it allowsearly detection of it in patients, while prevention is to be more likely to be effective. Although understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease has advanced in recent years, key issues remain unresolved. Preventing or providing early treatment for streptococcal infections is the most important step in reducing the burden of this disease. The manage­ment of women with rheumatic heart disease before, during and after pregnancy remains a serious task requiring the efforts of a multidisciplinary team. In 2015, a civil society movement was launched aimed at raising awareness and supporting countries seeking to solve the RHD problem. In May 2018, the World Health Organization adopted a resolu­tion aimed at intensifying global and national efforts to prevent and combat acute rheumatic fever/RHD. Ultimately, a combination of treatment options, research and advocacy based on existing knowledge and science provides the best opportunity to cope with the burden of rheumatic heart disease. The article summarizes the latest achievements in the science of RHD and presents priorities for current actions and future research.

Relevancy of the “Health Belief Model” on Behavior in Seeking Treatment among Families of Patients with Mental Disorders in the Work Area of the Public Health Center Taman Sidoarjo East Java

Background: Mental health is a part that is related to health and wellness. One of the indicators in Gerakan Masyarakat (GERMAS) [”society movement”] stated that people with mental disorders should be treated and not abandoned. Nevertheless, nowadays it is still common to find people with mental disorders that do not receive proper medical care. Aims: The aim of this research is to measure cues to action and self-efficacy of the family behavior in seeking treatment for people with mental disorders within the work area of the Public Health Centre Taman Sidoarjo. Method: This research utilized the observational method with the cross-sectional study design and was analyzed with the Health Belief Model (HBM) theory approach. Result: The statistical analysis results using the Pearson Chi-Square test with a significance level of < 0.05 showed a p-value of 0.034 for perceived susceptibility and severity, a p-value of 0.180 for perceived threat, a p-value of 0.009 for perceived benefit, a p-value of 0.696 for perceived barriers, a p-value of 0.555 for self-efficacy, and p-value of 0.099 for cues to action. Based on these results, it can be concluded that perceived susceptibility and severity have a positive relationship with the family behavior in seeking treatment, which means the more perceived susceptibility, and severity increase, the more the family behavior in seeking treatment for people with mental disorders increases. Conclusion: Likewise, perceived benefit has a positive relationship with the family’s behavior in seeking treatment. However, perceived threat, perceived barriers, self-efficacy, and cues to action have no relationship with the family behavior in seeking treatment for people with mental disorders.

Стрессовое воздействие пандемии COVID-19 на показатель счастья у россиян юношеского и среднего возраста

Happiness research is topical in all times since happiness influences individual human lives by determining the search for its purpose and by setting value-oriented vectors for the movement of society as a whole. Re-search into happiness becomes especially important in truly difficult critical situations when the transformation of people’s meaning-and-value foundations is taking place. The COVID-19 pandemic is likely has become an unprecedented event that interfered in the life of every person with its effects being particularly noticeable in the young and middle-aged population. The article examines the specificity of the COVID-19 stress impact on an indicator of happiness in young and middle-aged adults. The empirical base of the study involved 420 re-spondents, 205 men and 215 women. The first age group (18–24 years old) consisted of 201 persons and the second (25–35 years old) of 219 persons. The COVID-19 Stress Scale (S. Taylor, C.A. Landry, M.M. Paluszek, T.A. Fergus, D. McKay & G.J. Asmundson) was used to define the stress effect of the COVID-19 and the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (М. Argyle, M. Martin, J. Crossland) was exploited to evaluate indicators of happiness. The results showed that the COVID-19 pandemic affected the respondents’ state of happiness in both groups and that the COVID-9 stress was more intense for middle-aged people than for young adults. The obtained results may be useful for crisis psychologists and other professionals who help people cope with crisis experi-ences and recover from crises, and to specialists involved in developing programs to maintain and restore mental and physical health of people.

On the Eve of the Authoritarian Turn: Mourning the Lives of the “Terrorists”

ABSTRACT On 14 August 2013, Egyptian security forces killed hundreds of supporters and sympathizers of the Muslim Brotherhood in two squares of Egypt's capital Cairo: Rab‘a al-‘Adawiyya and al-Nahda. Those killed had protested against the military coup that ousted President Mohamed Morsi. The state's propaganda machine and the media connected to Egypt's influential business people designated those killed as terrorists. Human rights organizations paint a grim picture of the decade of authoritarian rule. In the regime's rhetoric, the fight against terrorism justifies the continued crackdown on Egyptian civil society movements and opposition. Again this year, the anniversary of the Rab‘a al-‘Adawiyya and al-Nahda massacres is likely to receive little coverage in the country's mainstream media. While the voices of those opposing the military coup in 2013 in Egypt are long silenced, on the massacre's tenth anniversary, it is time to recall an alternative to the narrative of the Egyptian state. Participants of a women's Quran reading group in one of Cairo’s impoverished neighborhoods questioned the military coup in 2013 and anticipated what was to come.

Assessing Regional Variation in Support for the Radical Right-Wing Party ‘Alternative for Germany’ (AfD)—A Novel Application of Institutional Anomie Theory across German Districts

The paper at hand aims to address a research gap by examining the spatial impact of economic and non-economic institutions on regional variation in the support for the German populist far-right party ‘Alternative for Germany (AfD)’. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach and drawing on institutional anomie theory, the study explores the relationship between economic dominance—economic inequality and economic strength—and regional AfD vote share, as well as the role of non-economic institutions in shaping support for the party. Using various regional indicators, the study assesses the strength of different institutions and their impact on the AfD’s electoral results in the year 2021 across 401 German districts (NUTS 3-level). The results point to significant differences between eastern and western Germany in the analysis of regional populist voting patterns. Economic dominance emerges as a stronger predictor of the AfD’s vote share in eastern regions. However, the findings on the protective effect of strong non-economic institutions against AfD voting are ambiguous and partly contrary to theoretical expectations. Overall, the study’s findings show that the newly introduced indicators deduced from institutional anomie theory contribute to the existing literature to help better understand regional variances in AfD support. Furthermore, the study contributes to the existing literature on the rise of contemporary radical right movements by employing Karl Polanyi’s framework of ‘disembedded’ markets. In doing so, it sheds light on the complex interplay between social change, anomic tendencies, and the growth of radical right movements in capitalist societies.

Model Of The Civil Society Movement Post-Military Coup Myanmar

<p><em>Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh penggulingan pemerintah sipil Myanmar oleh junta militer pada 1 Februari 2021. Setelah kudeta militer, jutaan warga sipil melakukan demonstrasi damai di seluruh negeri dan memprotes kembalinya pemerintahan sipil yang terpilih secara demokratis. Penolakan komunitas pro demokrasi terhadap kudeta militer memunculkan gerakan masyarakat sipil di Myanmar yang bertujuan untuk memulihkan demokrasi di Myanmar.

사회적 자본으로서 종교계의 통일운동

The purpose of this study is to examine how the religious community has formed and developed the unification movement and unification network in Korean society as social capital. To this end, looking at the preceding studies, it was found that research on the unification movement of domestic religious organizations was insufficient. This study examined the view of unification and the theory of unification in the religious community using social capital and social trust as a theoretical framework.
 As a result of this study, the tasks necessary for the religious community to fulfill its role are as follows. First, it is the revitalization of unification education in the religious community. Second, it is the establishment of a cooperative network with the religious community and the government. Third, it is necessary to increase the unification solidarity of the religious community and the spread and utilization of international networks. Through this, it is possible to expect unification public diplomacy in which the domestic religious community can promote cooperation and support with religious organizations.

Negotiating counterstrategies against the far right in Cottbus, Germany: shifting relations between the state and civil society

ABSTRACT This article examines how democratic actors from the state and the realms of civil society and the private sector form alliances to negotiate local counterstrategies against contemporary far-right contestations. It attends to two blind spots in the existing discussions about cities as bulwarks against the global rise of the far right. First, while much scholarly attention is paid to the heterogeneity of progressive civil society movements in this fight, state–civil society relations are understudied. Second, local contexts where far-right actors have already gained significant power are seldomly examined. Based on an explorative case study in the peripheral city of Cottbus, Germany – known as a hotspot of far-right organising – the article uses the Gramscian notion of the ‘integral state’ to analyse how actors come together and how this process is marked by contentious problematisations, positionalities and motivations. The discussion reveals that the state becomes a contested terrain in these negotiations as the far right's success does not leave municipal institutions untouched. While this weakens traditional democratic state–civil society alliances, it also enables the building of new ones as community activists’ perspectives shift from a position of resistance towards (cautious) partnership with the state. To conclude, I discuss the political implications of these findings.

State Relations, Media, and the Power of Civil Society after the fall of The New Order Regime in Indonesia

The role of civil society power in the history of reform in Indonesia cannot be underestimated because the economic crisis did not solely cause the fall of Suharto's New Order regime. Still, the role of civil society forces was very large and well consolidated. This study used qualitative research. The theory used is the theory of power relations. The results of the study found that in the era of Soeharto's New Order, the relationship between the state and civil society was still not seen to play its role; it can even be said that the existence of civil society was very weak and weakened by the regime, although at the end of the New Order, civil society was well consolidated which eventually gave birth to the reform movement and was able to overthrow Suharto's regime. The results also found that, after the reformation in Indonesia, the civil society movement experienced a golden age at the beginning of the reform because the position of civil society was quite strong and well consolidated in overseeing the course of the democratic system. However, in recent years civil society movements have stagnated and even seem weakened because they are in the circle of power.

재난을 표상하기, 그리하여 재난을 정치화하기

This article aims to analyze the political conflict over disasters in Korean society from a cultural-political perspective. The term “cultural politics” refers to the political work of defining the meaning of events such as disasters through the specific construction of representations such as symbols, narratives, images, and speech, and in doing so, regulating or reconstructing the public's sense of such events. Through Rancière's concepts of policing and politics, this article aims to identify how the political is performed at the level of the sensible. Furthermore, I will analyze the operation of policing in the formation of the public sense of disaster in Korean society through the concept of disaster narrative, focusing on the Sewol ferry disaster. I will then discuss how the Safe Society Movement, which challenges the work of policing in regulating the sense of disaster, has politicized the sense of disaster by constructing alternative representations. Finally, I will clarify the meaning of cultural politics through this interpretive research work.

Religious teaching in public schools and the principle of secularism

The Brazilian educational system has never been alien to the many movements of society, so it could not be distanced from the religious phenomenon either, since the school is a part of the community and all the expressions of a society are found in it, even if in smaller proportion. The present article in question seeks to carry out a discussion about the importance of respecting the various religious beliefs existing in the country. In the development of this research, which was built through the analysis of bibliographies and analyzes of legislation that legitimize religious teaching, the following question is discussed: can the professor of the religious teaching discipline, participant of an integral formation, be able to teach classes of this discipline without be biased, considering the context of religious diversity and existing legislation in the country? Finally, it is understood that, although criticized for the risk of being able to become a violator of human rights, religious education, obeying the criteria established in legislation, including creating legislation that favors the training of educators for this purpose, can become in an important mechanism for improving peaceful coexistence and respect for the pluralities that form the identities of the subjects that make up Brazilian society.
