The Politics of Being an Archival Donor

Traditional archival praxis oftentimes depicts the archival donor as an observer and recipient of services or benefits. One that can either comply with the rules and expectations set forth by the archivist and archival institution when donating their materials or walk away from the process and opportunity. Despite the historic role of donor contributions in the form of archival donations, donors and their needs remain overlooked in much of the archival literature. Instead, current archival paradigms tend to focus more on the archival materials more so than the people behind them. But what if donors and archivists could reimagine their relationship and the ethical obligations associated with this bond?
 This article applies Michelle Caswell and Marika Cifor’s archival theory of radical empathy combined with the theoretical framework of political consciousness as set forth by Black feminism. Using these frameworks, the research study uses a mixed method approach that includes a literature review of relationships in the archival field and a qualitative conventional content analysis of collected interview data from the donor case study of living music artist donors. As archivists seek to improve collection development and acquisition practices more attention must be placed on the care, affirmation, and wellbeing of the archival donor. Through collaboration with donors, archivists can strengthen archival practices by centering people and not just the things. By combining an ethics of care which introduces “a web of mutual affective responsibility” alongside the construction of a donor political consciousness, this article shows how donor participation contributes and strengthen archival practices that center people and not just things. The article and findings offer a distinct pathway to better understand the challenges, limitations, and possibilities of donor relationships and the benefits of donors recognizing the importance of active participation and understanding of their role in the archival process.

Research End-User Perspectives about Using Social Work Research in Policy and Practice

Abstract Research funding and assessment initiatives that foster engagement between researchers and research end-users have been adopted by governments in many countries. They aim to orient research towards achieving measurable impacts that improve economic and social well-being beyond academia. This has long been regarded as important in social work research, as it has in many fields of applied research. This study examined research engagement and impact from the perspective of research end-users working in human services. In-person or telephone interviews were conducted with forty-three research end-users about how they used research and interacted with researchers. Content analysis was undertaken to identify engagement strategies and thematic coding was employed to examine underpinning ideas about research translation into practice. Participants were involved in many types of formal and informal research engagements. They viewed research translation as a mutual responsibility but indicated that researchers should do more to improve the utility of their research for industry. The findings highlight the iterative nature of engagement and impact and raise questions about the infrastructure for scaling up impact beyond relationships between individual researchers and their industry partners.

Developing a Structure of Essential Services for a Child and Adolescent Mental Health System.

Policy Points That child and adolescent mental health services needs are frequently unmet has been known for many decades, yet few systemic solutions have been sought and fewer have been implemented at scale. Key among the barriers to improving child and adolescent mental health services has been the lack of well-organized primary mental health care. Such care is a mutual but uncoordinated responsibility of multiple disciplines and agencies. Achieving consensus on the essential structures and processes of mental health services is a feasible first step toward creating an organized system.

Implementing the Individual Placement and Support approach in institutional settings for employment and mental health services – perceptions and challenges from a case study in Denmark

ABSTRACT ‘Individual Placement and Support’ (IPS) is a supported employment approach targeted at people with severe mental health problems. A central principle in IPS is the integration of mental health and employment services. In Denmark, IPS has been implemented through cross-sectoral collaboration between municipal public employment services and regional mental health services. This study examines the implementation of IPS through a case-study of four IPS units. The study is theoretically informed by an institutional logic approach, and based on document analysis and interviews with stakeholders in IPS units, public employment services and mental health services. The findings show how the IPS units came under pressure to adjust the model in order to fit into the common strategies of public employment services, which favoured internships and wage subsidies. The integration of IPS with mental health services was also found to be challenging as mental health services regarded IPS as a parallel service rather than a mutual responsibility. Parts of the standardised procedures set by the IPS fidelity scale were challenged by managers from both sectors. In spite of these challenges, both sectors regarded IPS as an innovative and meaningful approach and supported the sustainability of the programme.

Whatever Happened to the Social in American Social Thought? Part 2

The liberal social thought of the long 1950s is best seen as an attempt to combat the threat that the United States, as a modern mass society, could succumb to totalitarianism. Widely discussed texts likeEscape from Freedom, The Vital Center, The Lonely Crowd, andThe Origins of Totalitarianismannounced the threat. Academic and theoretical studies worked to provide social supports for now weakened individuals or to find behavioral evidence that Americans still functioned as liberal democrats, but they did so by subordinating individual autonomy and mutual social responsibility to social systems, the market, and elites. Although social liberalism revived during the 1960s, the Great Society fused social liberalism to the Cold War state; the movements for civil rights and social inclusion, fueled by the desire for authenticity, veered into individualistic, identitarian channels; and radical calls for participatory democracy magnified both desires for authenticity and fears of American totalitarianism. Until the end of the century the totalitarian frame of liberal social thought continued to encourage visions of the future as a monolithic totality, to steer liberal social thinkers into individualistic channels, to hobble mutualistic conceptions of the social, and to weaken the ability of social liberals to respond to the conservative backlash that grew through the century and beyond.

The impact of the pandemic on tourism Development: New trends and anti-crisis measures

The article analyzes the main trends in the development of tourism, which have become relevant in the conditions ofpandemic coronavirus. Anti-crisis measures forsupport of the industry in a difficult period and the experience of countering the spread of COVID-19 are considered on the examples of six large tourist regions (macroregions) are most often distinguished.It was revealed that these countries have taken severe restrictions on the development of external tourism. The main strategy of states is to rely on internal recreational opportunities of the country. International tourism recovery is projected to be slow and uneven afteropening borders. The necessity of updating the integration processes in the field of tourism is substantiated on the basis of not only mutual benefitjoint development, but also mutual responsibility, crisis preparedness and managementby them. The research results can be used in the development or adjustmentconceptual, strategic and programmatictourism development documents both at the national and regional levels, especially inpostform period.

ACTUAL MECHANISMS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CORPORATE AND MANAGERIAL CULTURE IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

The modern dimensions of corporate and managerial culture development in public administration in Ukraine has been justified. Corporate and managerial culture development is highlighted in particular different approaches. It is emphasized that the effectiveness of mechanisms in cultural modernization of public administration in Ukraine is a combination of objective (organizational-legal) and subjective (socio-psychological) components in development of corporate culture in public management. Objective components are analyzed, which provide for regulatory, structural, functional and methodological ordering the activities of state structures, taking into account the factors of corporate culture development. Subjective components have been shown to ensure the multidimensionality of communication tools. The basic characteristics of an innovative corporate culture such as knowledge, information, creativity and institutionalization are highlighted. It is proved that innovative corporate culture contributes to changing the status of professional activity of public servants, from managerial-controlling (power-influence), to consciously subordinate to the needs of citizens (power-interaction), and secondly to protect the culture of public administration from destructive influence global values and also the mobilization of public servants; and the public; consciousness towards engagement and mutual responsibility.

НАЦИОНАЛЬНАЯ ИННОВАЦИОННАЯ ЭКОСИСТЕМА: КЛЮЧЕВЫЕ АКТОРЫ И ВЗАИМОСВЯЗИ

The article analyzes the possibilities for the development and transformation of the NIS of Russia into an ecosystem. A review of the features of innovation ecosystems has been carried out. Based on the quadruple helix that is the variant of adaptation of the triple helix model to Russian conditions and system economic theory, a structural model of an integrated national innovation system has been developed. The model is based on a quadrangular pyramid, the faces of which reflect the NIS macro-subsystems: science, government, education, and business. The pyramid is divided into three levels of the hierarchy (micro-, meso-, and macro), including the corresponding economic agents. The analysis of links uniting agents belonging to different levels and macro-subsystems of the NIS is carried out. It has been established that interaction between all agents should be based on ecosystem principles, such as mutual responsibility, information openness, equal access to public infrastructure, and others.

“He called their namesakes, the animals, from each direction”: Kinship and Animals in Indigenous Children’s Literature

“He called their namesakes, the animals, from each direction”: Kinship and Animals in Indigenous Children’s Literature Roxanne Harde (bio) Near the end of Chickadee, the fourth novel in Ojibwe writer Louise Erdrich’s Birchbark House series, Animikins despairs that he will never see his kidnapped eight-year-old son again. Believing that Chickadee’s twin, Makoons, will die from grief, “Animikins began to sing and play softly. He requested that the spirits enter the cabin. He asked them to gather around Makoons. He called their names, he called them out of each direction. He called their namesakes, the animals, from each direction” (189).1 His singing ties together the series’ many animal-centered narratives: stories from the oral traditional told by elders, comedic episodes, and highly charged scenes when the lives of the Ojibwe characters depend on animals, physically and/or spiritually. Notably, he sings from the cabin. Instead of the traditional birchbark houses in which he and his wife Omakayas, the lead character in the series’ first three novels, grew up, Animikins and his family now live in a cabin, signifying their forced migration from the northeastern lake region to the great plains. Animals, including those after whom his sons were named, contributed to the survival of this family and their community. Indigenous stories for children often uncover the meanings of animals and their intrinsic connections to their tribal context. The Birchbark House series offers a multiplicity of ways to think about animals in the terms of Ojibwe history, tradition, and culture. Ojibwe writer Basil Johnston notes that, Nothing is more graphic than the image of Nana’b’oozoo, half manitou, half human who symbolized all humankind, clinging to a makeshift raft and begging the animals to fetch a pawful of soil as a last, desperate measure to stave off death. Without the animals, he would die. With them, he lived. He ate; survived . . . and, in the end, restored the earth. The story exemplifies humankind’s relationship to the animals, a dependence that is absolute. (116) [End Page 230] And, of course, this dependence is about far more than physical need. The psychical, spiritual, communal, and medicinal dimensions of the dependence of human beings on animal beings are also absolute, and their meanings come through in many Indigenous books for children. While representations of animals in children’s books have long occupied scholars, I contend that traditional Euro-western approaches are not the best tools for understanding the meanings of animals in Indigenous literature. Cherokee writer Daniel Heath Justice notes that “Indigenous intellectual traditions have survived . . . because they’ve challenged” the dominant discourse, and those traditions should be used to understand Indigenous cultural production (“Go Away” 150). Seneca scholar Penelope Kelsey comments on the lack of engagement with Indigenous theory, the denial that “Native knowledges are legitimate,” and suggests that “Native American epistemologies and worldviews might be used for the purposes of reading Native texts in culturally appropriate ways” (4, 8). Over the past few decades, Indigenous scholars have built a robust body of Indigenous methodologies, and drawing on tribal interpretations of and relations with animals seems the appropriate way to analyze animals in texts like the Birchbark House series.2 Justice focuses on relationship as a key interpretive concept, arguing that “the principles of kinship can help us be more responsible and, ultimately, more useful participants in both the imaginative and physical decolonization and empowerment of indigenous peoples” (“Go Away” 149, 155). “At their best,” he argues, “relationships extend beyond the human to encompass degrees of kinship with other peoples” (“Go Away” 151). Conferring peoplehood on animals, Justice says that all the people are responsible for a community’s “survival through attention to their kinship rights and responsibilities” (“Go Away” 151, 152). Animikins’s song, calling on the animal namesakes of his sons, reflects these ideas of kinship and mutual responsibility. This article draws on Indigenous understanding of kinship to unpack the roles of animals in books for children written by Indigenous authors. As they translate original cultures into accessible stories for children, these writers embed traditional beliefs and narratives about animals. Animal stories, Johnston notes, often function as reclamation of Indigenous history and culture. At...

Economy and criminalization: mutual responsibility and interaction

Особливості інституціоналізації співпраці органів публічного управління з організаціями громадянського суспільства

The article analyzes the concept of "institutionalization" and provides an assessment of the state of development of interaction between civil society organizations and public administration. The analysis of the current state of civil society in Ukraine shows the existing problems in the field of effective cooperation with the authorities, which hinder the further growth of public activity and prevent the effective use of public organizations to protect the rights and legitimate interests of citizens. Therefore, in Ukraine there is a need to develop mechanisms for effective interaction between the state and civil society, as public administration bodies, cooperating with civil society institutions, can thus increase the effectiveness of their activities and the level of citizens' trust in government. Different approaches of scientists to determining the problems of effective cooperation of public administration bodies with civil society have been studied, as well as the basic principles and forms of such interaction have been identified. The interaction of public administration bodies with NGOs should be carried out on the basis of transparency, openness and transparency. As a result of dialogue between the subjects, there is both interaction and constructive cooperation. This process between the government and citizens makes it possible for the public to control the activities of public administration, ie in the process of interaction the government should try to reach a consensus in relations and use various mechanisms and forms to meet the needs of citizens as a sovereign. The assessment of the existing mechanisms of interaction of public authorities with non-governmental organizations is given. Building effective partnerships between citizens and public authorities involves constant analysis of problems, assessment of problems and interests, development of interaction, cooperation and mutual responsibility; establishing two-way communication aimed at jointly finding ways to solve the most pressing problems; ensuring public confidence in the government. Forms of interaction of civil society organizations with the authorities are proposed.

From Marital Property Law To Family Property Law

Although the legislator prefers the institution of marriage and accepts it as a form of family relationship, the system of family relationships has altered as a result of social changes, which can also be seen in the legal regulation. Therefore, the framework of previous thinking, which is almost exclusively based on matrimonial property rights, has been modified by the social and economic changes and the consequent constant change in regulation and attitudes. As a result, not only matrimonial property regimes but also the legal relationship between persons living in a registered partnership or de facto partnership, and their relationship with third parties are covered by matrimonial property law as well. Consequently, it is necessary to apply a new comprehensive terminology to these property relations, which is family property law.
 However, it can also be stated that during the development of the family property regulation, the legislator sought to incorporate guarantees into the system during the analysis of the diversity of family relationships, which prevented the endangerment of family existence, the vulnerability of the weaker partner or the rights of minors belonging to the family. However, most of the protecting provisions in the family property law apply to persons living in a marriage (registered partnership), the property relations of de facto partners are less regulated, and they contain only partially, or under certain circumstances family protection standards, legal consequences, and safeguards. The reason of this is that the legislature protects and favours marriage in principle over the other two legally regulated forms of partnership, by which it encourages young people and couples to marriage which requires mutual responsibility, solidarity, and commitment.

“Рассоединенное королевство”: мусульманская диаспора Великобритании в научном дискурсе

The present world is characterized by the growth of conflicts. Dividing lines and fractures are increasingly appearing in societies. Migration reinforces such phenomena. The West is no longer an area of stability and prosperity. Moreover, in the last two decades, the problem of integrating the descendants of migrants into society has become clear. In this regard, the scientific discussions of cultural identity acquire a high practical significance. The paper presents an analysis of the scientific discourse on the Muslim issue in the UK. The choice of the case is due to the fact that the UK is a typical Western state, where there is a steady trend to strengthen the cleavage of society. At the same time, it is noted that migration has become one of the key processes in the history of the United Kingdom. The authors apply the concepts of a divided society and responsible development. It is noted that in practice multiculturalism is changing to interculturalism as a more adequate concept of solving existing problems. According to the authors, the ethno-religious discourse on the issue of the Muslim diaspora in the UK consists of four areas: migration, school and higher education, gender, and radicalization of young people. Discourses on the problems of migration policy and functioning of diasporas, Muslim education, gender equality, and radicalization of Islamic youth can be considered derived from a higher discourse – the discourse of identity, which is based on value-worldview aspects. In conclusion, it is noted that negative processes are taking place in British society, which are of strategic importance for responsible development. According to the authors, success in overcoming divisions in British society will depend on coordinated planned actions at all levels (international, national, regional, local). “Indigenous” residents and the Muslim diaspora need to build a model of partnership, which implies mutual responsibility. The analysis of scientific discourses presented in the article inspires moderate optimism, as it offers well-founded and concrete solutions to the existing problems of British society. Although British society is divided, British scientific discourse has a common platform where researchers of different backgrounds and faiths successfully engage in dialogue.

Modern models of social partnership in Uzbekistan

Currently, the special importance of social partnership is acknowledged as an effective mechanism for involving the general public in participation in the socio-political, socio-economic and cultural life of the country in Uzbekistan.
 In this regard, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Sh.Mirziyoyev pointed out the need for consistent implementation: “the principle of mutual responsibility of citizens, the state and society, the connection of their rights and obligations.
 This principle serves as the basis for effective interaction between the state and the individual, the state and civil society in solving the important tasks facing our country.
 This article is devoted to the analysis of reforms aimed at the development of social partnership in Uzbekistan.

Становлення інституту політичної відповідальності в контексті суспільних та особистих інтересів в період незалежності України

The study of the dynamics of political responsibility in the context of personal and public interests, first of all, is combined with an understanding of the changing emphasis in the mutual responsibility of public authorities, political parties, civil society institutions, citizens and response in the form of public confidence, public activity, protest public mood and level of life satisfaction depending on the implementation of these changes and the implementation of state reforms. In order to determine the political responsibility effectiveness degree, the dynamics of the timeliness of its manifestation and the public response study according to the above criteria are subject to priority research. It has been established that depending on the shift of public administration emphasis towards the parliamentary-presidential or presidential-parliamentary form of government in Ukraine, the instruments, procedure and distribution of political responsibility and, as a result, accountability and subordination of political system actors have changed. These «shifts of emphasis» were primarily justified by the requirements of the political situation within the country, public sentiment, declaring various vectors of domestic and foreign policy and taking as a basis the attitude of international organizations to domestic events and decisions. The study of the peculiarities of political responsibility formation during the period of Ukraine’s independence made it possible to establish five periods of change in the instrumental apparatus of political responsibility, which are directly related to the government form changeі. As a result of the study, two types of political responsibility not previously mentioned in the scientific literature were identified – changing the form of government as a political responsibility of the previous government, lustration as an instrument of political responsibility of civil servants.

Network, procedural and cognitive components of digital public governance implementation designs: Тhe experience of European countries

The authors of the article aimed to study institutional designs for implementing digital public governance in the context of the problem of state governance. It was revealed that digital designs act as ways to ensure the implementation of the rules laid down in the system. They are focused on the development of communication skills, on preventing or minimizing conflicts in public policy, but do not exclude the risks of developing dysfunctions and serious contradictions. The article presents the results of a comparative study of the digitalization policy of European leaders in this area, Estonia and Germany, where there is a tendency to “slow down” innovations: uneven implementation of digital technologies in business and public governance, a wary attitude of citizens, a stable number of political and cultural attitudes and a focus more on regulation rather than coordination in Internet management. Contradictions between the network, procedural and cognitive components of digital public governance implementation designs appear. The authors believe that the gap with practically implemented technologies increases due to the existence of organizational and institutional barriers that need to be overcome in various ways (process, cognitive, etc.). Organizational barriers can be removed directly by state managers, while institutional barriers are the subject of policy initiatives. The novelty of the study lies in the recognition of the mobilization effect of “coercive digitalization”. In the context of the pandemic, this mobilization was based on stable (stereotypical) interaction practices. According to the authors, as the forms of cooperation deepen, mutual long-term obligations become the main requirement and the state should create incentives for it. This is what prompts the demand for mutual responsibility of the digitalization “apostles”, users and the state.

Securitas libertatis – Dialektik von Freiheit und Sicherheit im Zeichen der Pandemie

The question of the relationship between freedom and security is characteristic of the discourse in times of crisis. In the coronavirus pandemic, too, society is faced with the challenge of how a democratic order can overcome the security crisis while preserving its fundamental principles, such as individual freedom as a highest value. This article explores this question. Following Axel Honneth, it is based on a social concept of freedom, which understands a social coexistence of people in security as essential for freedom in general. Freedom and security are interpreted dialectically and are accordingly not regarded as bipolar opposites, but as a unity. Considering deontological and consequentialist approaches, the text simultaneously assumes a primacy of social freedom. This is due to its dialectical nature. Because of its social character, freedom also implies mutual responsibility between individuals.

Прогресивне оподаткування індивідуальних доходів в ісламських країнах

The economic results of the development of Muslim countries have raised the question of the existence of an increasingly focused Islamic financial and tax model. Taxes in the Islamic economic model provide an implicit link in the relations between the state and individuals, thus determining the limits of conditioned freedom and mutual obligations. The article is aimed at identifying the indicative features of progressive taxation of individual income in some Islamic countries. The research results show that Islamic countries are characterized by the unity of religion (faith) and such elements of the social system as the organization of power, as well as family, economic and other relations. The boundaries of the personal and the public, the individual and the national are transparent and strictly regulated. The peculiarities of the Tax Institute in Muslim countries, terms of taxation and tax usage rules are considered. It is proven that nowadays approaches to taxation in Islamic countries are diverse. It is determined that progressive taxation of individual income is widely used in Turkey, Pakistan, Tunisia, Indonesia, Nigeria, and other countries, and partly in Saudi Arabia; "tax heavens" are typical for the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Omani; proportional taxation is still used in Malaysia, Sudan, and Kazakhstan. The main types of taxes in Muslim countries are analyzed, their evolution is studied. Modern foci of progressive taxation of individual incomes in specific Muslim countries are revealed. The advantages of the Islamic financial model in terms of tax policy modernization and compliance with tax discipline, unconditional fulfillment of obligations and concluded agreements are identified. It is substantiated that using some elements of the progressive tax scale applied in the practice of Islamic finance can prove useful in a number of areas, providing budgetary and social balance in the "corridor of opportunities", bringing mutual responsibility of citizens and the state in fulfilling obligations, creating an annuity and mutually beneficial economic behavior pattern. It is proved that the progressive tax withdrawal of a part of large incomes will give a restrictive and restraining result of control over their redistribution in the public interest, as the socio-economic behavior of individuals, their powers and responsibilities must be balanced

НОРМАТИВНО-ПРАВОВЕ РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ БУХГАЛТЕРСЬКОГО ОБЛІКУ ПОДАТКОВИХ РІЗНИЦЬ

With the adoption of the Tax Code of Ukraine, the harmonization of accounting and tax accounting was carried out. However, taking into account the interests of the business community in streamlining relations and building mutual responsibility, the state is constantly faced with the question of preventing the possibility of tax evasion, optimization and narrowing of the tax base. Due to possible discrepancies between the criteria for recognizing income and expenses in accounting and tax law, there are tax differences. Tax differences are related to different approaches to determining income in accounting and tax accounting. They arise as a result of business transactions for which there are different assessments and recognition criteria in accounting and tax law. Every year the number of differences that arise in determining the pre-tax financial result increases and the regulatory framework changes, which makes adjustments to reflect the differences in the financial statements of enterprises. The article analyzes the regulatory framework governing the accounting of tax differences in Ukraine. The author considers the main documents, which contain information about the nature of tax differences and methods of accounting. The main problem is the imperfection of regulations approved at the state level and the need to refine the methodology for reflecting in the accounting and financial reporting of tax differences. The article discloses the rules that reflect the tax differences in the financial statements. The changes that took place during the years of Ukraine’s independence in terms of reflecting differences in accounting are analyzed and the dynamics of changes in legislation is traced. The positive and negative moments of changes concerning the accounting and reflection in the reporting of differences before the taxation are allocated. The problematic issues of reflection in the accounting and financial reporting of tax differences that need to be addressed are highlighted. The article considers the main prospects of accounting for tax differences in Ukraine, accounting problems and methods of solving them.
