Community Care as a Way of Life: Understanding and Evaluating the Impacts of Mutual Aid on Quality of Life and Ways to Implement this Framework in the US

This paper evaluates the potential for mutual aid to serve as a framework for a new way of life through a biopsychosocial theoretical lens and a literature review. This paper works to help better understand how we, as a society in the United States can reimagine what a world would look like if we used mutual aid as a framework for a way of life through a public health perspective. The study draws on examples from Blue Zones and community health interventions using mutual aid in Japan, Cameroon, Latin American populations, and other communities of the world to illustrate how mutual aid can be implemented on both micro and macro levels from local community cultures to broad nation-wide policies in the US. The findings suggest that mutual aid can be utilized as a model for other facets of life and society as a whole. By encouraging people to work together and support each other, mutual aid can create more resilient and cohesive communities. These findings have important implications for public health and can help inform future research and policy interventions aimed at promoting community-building through mutual aid.

Parental Stress and Coping Strategies in Parents of an Educational Institution in Times of COVID-19

As a consequence of the COVID-2019 pandemic, parents had to adapt to a new way of life, facing different stressors through the use of coping strategies. The aim of the study was to establish the relationship between parental stress and coping strategies in parents of an educational institution in the district of Cartavio, Peru. The research was descriptive-correlational, non-experimental cross-sectional design, with a sample of 108 parents, using the Parental Stress questionnaire, in its reduced version and adapted to the Peruvian context, and the Stress Coping Estimation Inventory (COPE). The results indicate a positive relationship between parental stress and the strategy of behavioral disengagement; parental stress levels belonged mostly to the medium category with 67.5%; the predominant stress coping strategies were active coping and positive reinterpretation - personal development, both with 18.5%. It is concluded that there is a relationship between the parental stress strategy and behavioral disengagement.

THE POETICS OF UTOPIA IN THE WORKS OF A. V. CHAYANOV

The futurological model presented in “My brother Alexei’s Journey to the Land of Peasant Utopia” by A. V. Chayanov (under the name of Iv. Kremnev) is focused on preserving and reviving the traditions of the times past, which are harmoniously integrated into a new way of life. The utopian worldview is very eclectic: along with manual agricultural labor, there are the latest inventions: meteorophores and aircraft, atmospheric precipitation is controlled. Art as a philosophical imperative defines all aspects of society. The leaders of the state, rely on the achievements of eugenics, striving to maximize the realization of each person’s talent, education is based on the principles of harmonious personal development: utopia’s residents not only master a specialty, but must know the history of art, play sports, which should also serve to reveal their abilities. The ideal is formed by both the ancient culture and manor pastime, where a person works in close contact with nature, spending leisure time in literary or musical pursuits. Knowledge of history and art is considered fundamental here: even cooking and entertainment are focused on preserving the memory of the past. Many of the ideas on which utopia is based are Chayanov’s ideas about the proper structure of education, its cultural and art history components, pedagogical and methodological principles, and the formation of a versatile and multifaceted scientist. But in a way, it is also an answer to the disputes of the late 19th — early 20th centuries about the role of man as a theurgist, the limits of his capabilities and power.

The Organic Business of the New Generation Throughout the Agricultural Supply Chain

The objectives of this research were to investigate the way of being a farmer, the type of farmer, and the outcome on oneself and organic farming society of the new generation farmers. Twenty model farmers of the new generation accepted by organic farming community were studied using a qualitative research method with primary and secondary data collection. The results showed that there was a significant in growth rate of both area and number of agricultures during the years 2011-2021. These results are in line with the government policy of the Organic Agriculture Strategy 2017-2021 and the (draft) Organic Agriculture Action Plan 2023-2027. The factors that encourage the new generation to do more organic farming are push and pull factors. Nine patterns and two types of organic farming are in line with the way of life, needs, and goals of the new way of life, with the new generation of farmers having a way of farming throughout the supply chain based on organic farming business ecology, and upstream, middle, and downstream. The new generation involved in organic farming showed both concrete and symbolic effects. The concrete effects are: 1) The economic dimension is reducing expenditures and having income from both primary and supplementary sources. 2) The health dimension is physical health, mental health, and social health. The symbolic effects are: 1) There are a change and expansion of the meaning of the word farmers. 2) The image of farmers is promoted. 3) There is support from various sectors, both public and private sectors, and 4) raising awareness to consumers on living a good life with "food".

FEATURES OF ADAPTATION OF CITIZENS OF UKRAINE TO EU COUNTRIES: EMIGRATION CONTEXT

The article examines the essence of the ongoing integration process of Ukrainians into the society of European countries, the peculiarities of the social and personal adaptation of Ukrainian citizens to the EU against the background of forced emigration due to the military conflict in terms of the provisions of Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of the social field. The main qualities of the social field are considered, such as the autonomy of the field, the mutual influence of agents on each other, the influence and types of capital, in particular economic, cultural, social and symbolic capital, as the basis of inequality and struggle within the field. An analysis of the development of relations between the integration of Ukrainians and European society is carried out, taking into account the main indicators of the capital possessed by both parties.The purpose of the article is to study the integration process of Ukraine in the EU in the context of the development of the leading provisions of P. Bourdieu’s theory of the social field.The relevance of the article is due to the fact that the integrative process of society is an extremely complex multi-level procedure, which affects both numerous social relations, separate relations between a person and the State, the relations of various social formations with each other, as well as internal aspects of the individual, forms a new worldview, initiates a different cultural and psychological composition. The integration of Ukrainians is taking place against the background of complex political, military and psychological events. In general, full-fledged integration requires time and constant efforts, changes in the socio-cultural way of life require new adaptation mechanisms and the necessary qualities for successful assimilation of a new way of life and awareness of oneself as a part of another cultural and social stratum. Absolutely all spheres of human life are subject to change, so it is possible to talk about the formation of a new personality, one that did not exist before.It is clear that all these points are gaining research relevance both at the theoretical level and at the level of socio-political practices and the development of an effective international social policy. The result of the article is a complete structural analysis of the social field, which is formed as a result of the integration process between the citizens of Ukraine and the citizens of the European Union states, the concept of signs of the autonomy of the field, mutual influence and mutual dependence of agents, characteristic of the social field according to the theory of Pierre Bourdieu, is developed, data are given to confirm of these features, as well as a study of the types of capital belonging to Ukrainians and citizens of European society, which determine the interaction of both communities, act as means of struggle for power and position in the society that is being formed. In the article, we come to the conclusion that the field that is created has the characteristics of a social field, since all the characteristics of a social field according to P. Bourdieu are present. It is proposed to conduct further research into the patterns of integration of Ukrainians into the EU taking into account this conceptual framework.

Young Spouses' Experiences of Having a Partner With Heart Disease and Adolescents Living at Home.

To describe the life situation of spouses having a partner with heart disease and adolescents living at home. Qualitative inductive design. Participants (n = 22) were included from three Scandinavian countries. Semi-structured interviews were analysed using thematic analysis with an inductive and latent approach.

Voyaging Through Uncharted Territories: A Phenomenological Study of Elementary Education Amidst the New Normal

As the world slowly recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is clear that we will not be returning to the world we once knew. Instead, we are adapting to a "New Normal" - a world where we must learn to coexist with the virus. This new way of life vastly differs from what we were accustomed to, and every aspect of our lives has been impacted. Teachers have a significant role in shaping the future of education, and they, too, have been affected by the pandemic. In this study, we sought to understand the challenges and issues public elementary school teachers face in the Philippines due to the pandemic. We employed a qualitative phenomenological research design, selecting nine participants who shared their experiences. Through our analysis, we identified seven themes, including lack of communication, parents' low levels of education, insufficient time for printing modules, teachers' out-of-pocket expenses, difficulty in assessing learners' academic performance, the need for professional growth, and teachers' positive response to the changes. Despite their challenges, these teachers remain resilient and motivated to adapt to the new normal. Despite the difficulties, they continue to work hard to ensure their pupils receive quality education.

Новый раскол (Украинский кризис и религиозный фактор в контексте перспектив социально-политического развития)

The article is devoted to the role of the religious factor in the context of the socio-political development of modern societies against the background of military-political confrontation. The ongoing processes are analyzed at several levels — national, international, and ecclesiastical. Utilizing the post-secular paradigm, as well as actor and identitarian approaches, the authors examine the religious dimension of the Ukrainian crisis. They draw a particular attention to the situation in the world Orthodox Christianity. The authors reveal the reasons why the main line of cleavage in the modern Christianity formed precisely in its Orthodox segment and was closely intertwined with the largest international political crisis of the first quarter of the 21st century. The article shows that the Ukrainian crisis has a destabilizing effect on the situation in the world Orthodox Christianity, reactivating old conflicts and creating new sources of tension. Having stated that the Ukrainian crisis served as a trigger and catalyst for dynamics in different spheres, covering a significant number of different types of actors, the authors at the same time point out that socio-political development in the context of the religious factor has deeper roots. From their viewpoint, the observed phenomena and processes indicate the formation of new models of interaction between the state, society and church within the framework of post-secular or traditionalist discourse, which in turn is associated with the rapid establishment of a new scientific and technological order. According to the authors’ conclusion, as it already happened many times in history, the religious factor is obtaining key importance in determining the basic features of the new era. The transformation of Modernity into something else, which is taking place before our eyes, does not result in the “elimination” of this factor, but, on the contrary, transforms religious factor into an important component of the formula for a new way of life. The Ukrainian conflict intensifies the search for post-secular models of socio-political development in the Western political areal. At the same time, Russia and the West itself are moving in different ways, since the Russian model is closer to pre-secular practices.

Overlapping modernity and tradition: rethinking the danwei as a basic urban unit in modern China

ABSTRACT The danwei was the basic unit of social organization and urban form in China during the period of the planned economy, and this role, which encompasses various dimensions such as administration, production, and welfare, is a unique feature of China's modernization process. This study attempts to explain how the danwei actively influenced the development of socialist China from both modern and traditional perspectives. From a modern perspective, the danwei relates to the modern concept of urban planning, and its efficient spatial organization brings a new way of life in the industrial age. From a traditional perspective, the enclosed nature, social control, and patriarchal management style of the danwei maintained the characteristics of ancient society rooted in traditional culture, making it accepted by the public and facilitating the process of industrialization in a short period. This article aims to show that the danwei, as a pragmatic method blending modernity with tradition, played an indispensable role in China's transition from an agricultural to a modern society and continues to influence social life and urban form in contemporary China.

Jumping up the sanitation ladder in rural Cambodia: The role of remittances and peer-to-peer pressure in adopting high-quality latrines

Over the last 50 years, a combination of factors has driven sanitation improvements in rural areas of low-income and emerging economies in Asia. While open defecation remains an important challenge in many countries, Cambodia has rapidly increased rural sanitation coverage in the last 20 years. Using data collected via 92 interviews and seven focus group discussions, this qualitative study analysed the macro-level, community, and individual factors that motivated rural households to invest in high-quality latrines in seven villages in Cambodia that achieved and sustained open defecation free status with at least 85% latrine coverage. Local demand for adoption of high quality latrine was stimulated by a number of factors which include: a) NGO-led interventions that included behaviour change communication, sanitation marketing, and community-led total sanitation, all magnified by the strong support of local leaders at the village and commune levels; b) an increased proportion of rural households engaging in factory work, with access to raising wages, higher disposable incomes, and remittances; and c) subsidies and microcredit. Furthermore, migrants not only transferred financial resources to their home villages, but also transferred a set of ideas, norms, expectations, information, and behaviors back to their communities that reflect the migrants’ new ways of life, and economic possibilities. We provide evidence that new habits among factory workers, and ownership and display of new technologies and consumer commodities as symbols of modern success and social status facilitated high-quality latrine adoption. Peer-to-peer pressure at the village level, and among adult children commuting to factories or visiting their rural hometown ensured widespread adoption.

Navigating Pacific nutrition and health at Brown Buttabean Motivation (BBM): Process evaluation and systems dynamics research at a flax-roots organization

Brown Buttabean Motivation (BBM) is a Māori and Pacific-driven community-based organisation operating in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) and Tokoroa. It provides free community exercise bootcamps and other social and health support programs. BBM’s foundational mission was to reduce, among Māori and Pacific people, the prevalence of obesity in Auckland through exercise and nutrition programs.1 This study aimed to understand participants’ engagement with BBM, and the meaning it has had in their lives, with a focus on nutrition. Combining Pacific Fonofale and Te Whare Tapa Wha frameworks, this was a process evaluation to understand the impact of BBM’s services on the community using qualitative methods and a systems analysis to identify program sustainability and improvement. Semi-structured interviews explored the benefits and values of engagement with BBM. Followed by cognitive mapping interviews (CMI) and group model building (GMB) to identify the motivations and challenges of sustained engagement. Participants described holistic health benefits and impacts on community wellbeing. BBM responds to inequitable nutrition contexts, through its FoodShare (food bank), community kitchen, and BBM Kai (nutrition literacy). Engagement changed family nutrition patterns, and benefits included healthier spending habits, and addressing food insecurity. Social inclusiveness represented the Fonofale foundation (family) and the roof (culture) was described as ethnic cultural practices and BBM culture. Nutrition was not highlighted by BBM participants in CMI or GMB activities. However, participants suggested BBM increase nutrition initiatives to enable all members to improve their health journeys. BBM was seen as not just an exercise program but their own and their family’s new way of life, that health was a journey, not a destination. Moreover, although participants mentioned nutrition and health benefits, there was an overwhelming understanding that the values of BBM, Pacific culture, and social collectivism were the drivers of engagement, motivating healthier practices. BBM could leverage existing strengths by incorporating nutrition-enabling initiatives that are achieved collectively. Opportunities for systematic intervention will be presented.

FREE TIME AND RECREATION OF CITIZENS IN THE VISUAL IMAGES OF THE SOVIET PRESS OF THE 1920S

The purpose of the study. This article analyzes the visual content of the Soviet press of the 1920s, in order to reconstruct the normative and deviant models of recreation reflected in it by the urban population of the country. Conclusions. In visual media stories, the problems of free time and recreation exist in several planes: imperative (approved, ideologically correct strategies and practices of organizing free time are broadcast); normative (examples are given indicating the «sprouts» of a new way of life); critical (deviant practices and «remnants» of the past that need to be eliminated are ridiculed and castigated). In quantitative terms, in the press of the 1920s, the plots of the first and second groups, devoted to cultural recreation of citizens in parks, libraries, theaters, etc., prevailed. The practices of deviant recreation (drunkenness, gambling, etc.), explained by pre-Soviet remnants, the difficulties of the recovery period, and the lack of education of citizens, were more often represented by anonymous plots indicating vice, but not discrediting specific citizens. The press was intended to form cultural leisure practices among citizens rather than reflect the realities of the pastime of citizens in the 1920s.

Breast cancer survivors suffering from lymphedema: What really do affect to corporeality/body image? A qualitative study

Breast cancer-related lymphedema is currently one of the most serious complications that most affect the quality of life of women undergoing breast cancer. The aim of this study was to explore in-depth the experience of women who suffer from lymphoedema after breast cancer and how does this condition affect corporeality, with no judgements. For this purpose, a qualitative methodology was followed. In-depth interviews, interviewer's field notes and participants' letters were used for data collection. The participants were twenty Spanish women with lymphoedema after overcome a breast cancer in the past. Healthcare specialists with experience in the topic were also included. Results showed 2 main categories: “From cancer to lymphedema, another disease another disease” and “Potential for transition and transformation towards a new way of life”. As a conclusion, the difficulty in accessing adequate treatment, the need for greater awareness of lymphedema and the importance of the emotional and psychological dimension of this chronic disease. Highlighting the attitudes that these women develop for self-care and the concept of new corporeality. After breast cancer, women with lymphedema experience a drastic change that affects all areas of their lives. The adaptation process, and the search for resources and aid, play a fundamental role in overcoming this process.

The contribution of historical agricultural practices and forms of life activity to the formation of modern rural society and their role in this process

The pattern of changes in forms of life activity in rural areas, due to the formation of a new way of life and collective employment, has been identified. Factors influencing this process have been studied. Basic agricultural practices as a set of techniques and methods aimed at obtaining agricultural products, through which the essence of the relationship of man to the land and animals are expressed by type in crop and livestock production, are systematized. Their content and main characteristics are revealed, improvement factors in order to increase the volume of agricultural production are identified.

Gamo's cultural forum-Dubussha as a tool for social change communication: Illiteracy and child labor abuse as a case in point

This study investigated the instrumental potential of Gamo's traditional dialogue forum-Dubussha-for social change communication in general, using illiteracy and child labour abuse as a case in point. The study went on to analyze the motive that when traditions pave the way for new ways of life and thinking, changes are more applicable and transformative. As a result, this study sought to apply current values in a more local context and discovered that using culture as a vehicle for transformation yielded positive results. The two most popular tactics used to satisfy the study's goal of gathering information from largely alternatively educated respondents were intensive interviews and focus group discussions. Since cultural societies' skills, expertise, and knowledge are intricately related to their culture, the qualitative technique was effective in understanding and testing the research questions of this study. According to the study's objectives, three different focus group discussions (FGDs) were held in the Dita, Daramalo, and Chencha districts. Participants in the focus groups ranged in age, gender, and cultural background. Each FGD session included a diverse variety of participants, including women, men, student participants, and cultural leaders (Haleqas and/or Hudugas (opinion leaders). The FGD had 27 participants until it was full. Participants, facilitators, and in-depth interviewees were also purposively chosen. Finally, the study's findings indicated that Dubussha had a large potential for social change communication, particularly to reduce illiteracy and child labour abuse. Given that the cultural communication forum, Dubussha, is the major pillar of Gamo society's psychosocial structure, its use as an effective instrument for social change communication produced significant outcomes. Despite the gender and age differences in the application of "Dubussha," the outcome, acceptance, and glory of Dubussha among the Gamo community remained consistent.

Exploring the Self-Care Factors for Recovery in Alcohol Use Disorder and the Role of Peer Recovery Coaches: A Qualitative Study

Self-care is important in addiction recovery, and peer recovery coaches (PRCs) play key roles in recovery. This qualitative study explored self-care factors for individuals recovering from alcohol use disorder and the role of PRCs in supporting these individuals’ self-care. Individual interviews with five PRCs and five workers in community addiction management centers in South Korea were performed. Data were analyzed using content analysis. Two categories and six subcategories were derived. The two categories were “elements of self-care: preparation and practice for a new way of life” and “the roles of PRCs: recovery facilitators with differentiated competencies.” The factors identified as being involved self-care were summarized as “changing one’s thought process and attitude” and “practical enactment considering the situation.” The effective roles of PRCs were “sharing specific and realistic information,” “providing motivation,” “building empathy,” and “presenting role models as mentors.” This study identified self-care factors that should be included in addiction recovery programs with the participation of PRCs and also identified the roles of the PRCs. Developing and applying nursing interventions with PRCs in clinical and community nursing settings is necessary.

Debt: A Political–Theological Device Acting in Favor of the Neoliberal Ethos

This article intends to examine debt as a basilar political–theological device acting in favor of the neoliberal ethos. The Papal Encyclical Laudato Si affirms in paragraph 52 that debt today serves the control over the poor peoples in the world. In this article we demonstrate how debt can be seen as a political–theological device that works as an instrument of this specific ethos, aligned with neoliberal principles. We intend to show how these elements are related using three analytical movements. In the first, we present how we understand political theology as a critical reflection about the forms of political power. We observe that power, in its form and in the way it operates, replicates the theological–political power status prior to modernity, operating an excluding inclusion machinery. In the second movement, we analyze the political theology machinery that impacts individuals in the operation of an “excluding inclusion”. Under the political–theological machinery, individuals, groups, or populations are considered as a part of the machinery; they are included because they are incorporated in the new organism as they are excluded from their original content—language, ethos, culture, and their constitution as subjects. Then, in the third, we present the notion of the device, explicitly, a device constituted by a web of odd components and flexible relations that, when isolated as independent elements, act in the subject’s formation. In these terms, debt as a device of the political–theological machinery works to form individuals; it is a device that operates the excluding inclusion to make subjects more and more adapted to the market rules and habits. The very sense of debt in the post-productive era is challenged. We present how the possible exits from this machinery involve not only the debate on the forgiveness of foreign debts, but also how they are intrinsically linked to the creation of a new ethos, new ways of life created by relations outside the orbit of debt control. The conclusion intends to show how necessary it is to restore to people new forms of control over a way of life that is not regulated and ruled by debt. The methodology employed analyzes arguments that originated from works and articles concerning this theme.

THE DILEMMA OF PRESERVING OR PROGRESSING IN ACHEBE'S THINGS FALL APART

In his seminal work Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe highlights the tension between tradition and modernity as a dominant theme that reflects the complex struggles faced by individuals and societies in the midst of change. Achebe's portrayal of the Igbo community's challenges resonates beyond its setting, speaking to broader societal debates on identity, cultural evolution, and the complexities of historical transformation. In this respect, this paper delves into the multifaceted exploration of the theme, investigating characters' attitudes towards change and progress while highlighting the profound consequences of either upholding traditional values or embracing modernity. Through a close analysis of key characters, their interactions, and their choices, the paper uncovers the intricate balance between the desire to preserve cultural heritage and the inevitable pull of progress. By examining the characters' dilemmas, this paper sheds light on the universal human struggle between the comfort of established traditions and the allure of embracing new ways of life. In doing so, it contributes to a deeper understanding of Achebe's narrative artistry and the thematic relevance of Things Fall Apart in contemporary discussions on cultural dynamics and societal change.

DANCE AS MIRROR OF SOCIAL AND CULTURAL CHANGE: A PEEK INTO MANIPURI PERFORMANCE HISTORY

The paper attempts to highlight significant moments in the history of Manipuri dance and their implications on the dynamics of social and cultural developments of the time. The dancing body is now no longer a simple reproduction of historically created style of human movement that seem to continue forever as symbol of people’s tradition and culture. The dancer’s body is now read as sign, as discourse, as platform for human experience and the structure and formulations of movements in time in the body do inform particular thoughts, ideas, emotions and affects that were involved in the creation of a language of dance. By analyzing the kind of dance produced in creative people’s history, we shall be able to provide hints on the structure of power, knowledge and the world views of the society of the times. No doubt technology, utilization of resources, spiritual and religious influences and power exercise do impact on social and cultural change. But the kind of dance style also do inform on the very nature of the creative inputs of society that had been necessitated in the production of the dance. Reading dance can also be as pleasurable as reading literature.We shall study the pre – Haraoba, the Lai Haraoba dance and its transformation into the 18 th century classical dance of the Raas Leela during the conversion of the Manipuris into Hinduism. The introduction of colonial money economy and structural changes in the society and culture and its impact on dance shall be explored. Globalization and its impact on dance traditions shall also be indicated. As we go deeper into the semantic field in the structure and form of dance, operas and performance in different stages of history, we are able to discover the manifold transformation in the realm of peoples’ and rulers’ ideas on life, relationships and processes in response to the challenges of the time. The challenges no doubt come sometimes from outside of the realm in which the people thrive. Foreign conquests and introduction of new ways of life and action also impinges on the traditional equilibrium in society. There are times of turmoil and unease. Livelihood and art are in moments of crisis. But the response to the crises is unique, as the culture of the time indicates the resilience of that society in culture. Manipuri dance history relates this experience.

Making and interpreting: digital humanities as embodied action

Digital technology has created new spaces, new realities and new ways of life, which have changed the way people perceive and recognise the world. In particular, the production, dissemination and reception methods of literature and art have been impacted upon significantly. Acknowledging humanities scholars have been engaged in conducting research while theorising and debating what Digital Humanities (DH) is/is not in the past two decades, this study extends current thought on DH by connecting it with the concept of sociological body, particularly thinking bodily interaction in relation to digital technologies in DH practice. The increasingly deepening integration of body and technology allows DH practice to become an event, in which embodied bodily action is situated in the (digital) environment that impacts on knowledge production. Acknowledging contemporary discourse regarding the two waves of DH, the article pays attention to the presence of the body whereby DH practice is bodily inclusive as mediated by digital technology, in which bodily interaction in producing knowledge via technologies reflects haptic experience and cultural constraints upon the sociological body. At the same time, technologies are not an innocent medium but an active contributor, so much so that we claim knowledge produced with the substantial involvement of digital technology is ‘digitised’ knowledge, as our critical interpretation towards a possible DH 3.0 practice that is subject to the core value of the humanities.
