Harpies in the House: Neo-Victorian Rewritings of Avian Femininities

This article examines avian metaphors in Neo-Victorian literature in relation to contemporary reconsiderations of nineteenth-century womanhood and its connection to animal discourse. Ornithological imagery and the female condition were closely linked in the nineteenth-century cultural imaginary, as clearly manifested in the period’s literature and art. From the idealized image of the submissive wife caged within the Victorian household to the controversial use of feathers in feminine accessories, bird-like women perched on the margins between the domestic space and the outside world. Significantly, birdcage imagery has since been recovered by numerous feminist authors to denounce women’s lack of freedom under patriarchal oppression. However, such analogies have often been rooted in a rejection of animality, rather than in a sense of solidarity between women and animals against androcentric domination. As this article intends to prove, Neo-Victorian works such as A. S. Byatt’s The Conjugial Angel (1992) and Angela Carter’s Nights at the Circus (1984) offer subversive possibilities for the reinterpretation of avian imagery in ways that challenge the interlocking patriarchal and speciesist dynamics at the core of anthropocentric culture.

Code-Switching Used in Indonesian-Japanese Interpersonal Communication: A Sociolinguistics Study

This research analyzed code-switching used during interpersonal communication events between Indonesian and Japanese native speakers who understand both languages. This sociolinguistic analysis examines the phenomenon of code-switching based on socio-cultural and socio-situational. In this study, the data were collected using questionnaires and interviews. Findings have found that several factors underlie code-switching in interpersonal communication: the ability of language participants, speakers' shifting moods and wills, conversational topics, speakers' sense of solidarity, speakers' incapacity to use linguistic codes, and speakers' propensity to use the idea that a first-learned vocabulary (cognitive primacy). The purposes of code-switching in a conversation are to facilitate communication, strengthen the bond between the speaker and the speaking partner, respect one another's cultural backgrounds, facilitate discussion, enhance foreign language proficiency, and serve as a reminder to speakers to address specific topics or provide an answer to a question.

Modal Sosial dalam Pengembangan Usaha

As a foreign company, Tiens Group has been successful and well accepted by the people of Banda Aceh, a city known for the implementation of Syariah Islam. This study analysed how the company uses its social capital resulting in its acceptance by the host society that is strongly associated with Syariah Islam. This research uses sosial capital theory by Robert D. Putnam. It is a qualitative reseach. Data were collected through interview and participant observation. This research found that the company has utilized sosial capital and succeeded in achieving its targets and well accepted by the host society. The interplay of the three aspects of sosial capital namely norms, trust and networks have been influential in achieving success of the company.

Trust is formed through a strong believe towards values and norms. Network is needed to bridge and help expand the company to people outside the company through new recruits (bridging sosial capital), while at the same time, network within the group, would eventually strengthen the norms and the trust system as well as the sense of solidarity and work ethics among the members (bonding sociap capital).

Alcohol Addiction Among High School Students in Pamekasan Regency: The Impact of Parental Supervision

This study was motivated by the large number of adolescents who consume alcoholic beverages, so researchers wanted to know the factors that cause adolescents to consume alcohol and how the role of parents in dealing with these problems. The purpose of this study is that parents are expected to be able to provide education to be careful with their association so as not to fall into negative things such as juvenile delinquency in the form of drinking drinks containing alcohol where these drinks are very dangerous to health because they can affect brain performance so that when attending school the teenager will lose concentration. This research uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenology type. The data sources used are primary and secondary data sources. Primary data sources derived from interviews. While secondary data sources come from documents. Data collection techniques through interviews, observation and documentation. The results showed that the cause of a person becoming an alcoholic is not known with certainty, but alcohol use is not the only causative factor. Of the people who consume alcohol, about 10% become addicts. Some of the reasons individuals consume alcohol include to dare to take risks, calm themselves, overcome themselves, run away from loneliness, forget sadness, feel confident, overcome depression, adjust to social situations, relieve pain, overcome personal stress when many schoolwork. The ease of getting liquor and the loose supervision of parents and the surrounding environment are one of the causes of so many children who consume liquor. In addition, a sense of solidarity and friendship bonds are one of the reasons to try liquor. The role of parents in dealing with these problems is more participatory and passive. Where parents only reprimand and advise and some even do nothing, so that children still cannot escape from alcoholism.

Penguatan Karakter Religius Melalui Program Pesantren Ramadhan 1445 H Pada Komunitas Teras Baca Nurul Huda Batu Ringgit Kota Mataram Nusa Tenggara Barat

Islamic religious education in public schools is often said to have little influence on students. Apart from the very limited intensity of study time, namely 2-3 hours of lessons per week, this is also due to the fact that Islamic learning only focuses on basic theoretical knowledge and less on a practical level so that the main goal of Islamic education which touches on the spiritual and social dimensions is difficult to achieve. The Nurul Huda Reading Terrace Community, located in Baturinggit village, Mataram City, NTB, is a forum for informal education for children and teenagers engaged in literacy. Advances in technology and information that have led to shifts in social behavior have given rise to negative behaviors that have led to the apathetic, intolerant, anti-social and hedonistic attitudes of the current generation. This is the basis for the formation of the Ramadhan Islamic boarding school program in the Teras Baca Nurul Huda Baturinggit Mataram comunity, NTB. The Ramadhan Islamic boarding school program has been successfully attended by 60 participants. The aim of this program is to strengthen the religious character of local village children and teenagers who will support the realization of a religious society. The methods of this program include: 1) Preparation; 2) Implementation; and 3) Evaluation and Follow-up. Several activities such as Ramadhan taklim, duarah, donations. Through these activities, religious characters can be strengthened, including love of Allah and His Messenger, independence, courageous, responsible attitudes, a sense of solidarity and mutual respect for each other and an attitude of empathy. The positive response and support of the local community, especially parents and community leaders, guarantees the continuity of this program from the beginning to the end of Ramadan and creates opportunities for its continuation in the future to form a religious, individually and socially pious generation.

Exploring school leaders’ and parents’ attitudes toward implementing an organizational system for academic diversity and inclusion in international schools in Egypt

Egypt has recently undergone significant educational reforms, granting children with disabilities the right to inclusive education and well-being as stipulated in the Arab Republic of Egypt’s Constitution and Ministerial Degrees. This qualitative study aimed to capture the current situation of inclusion in Egypt’s educational landscape and gather insights from school leaders (n = 2) and parents (n = 4) regarding the services provided to children with intellectual disabilities (ID) in two international schools in Egypt. Through semi-structured interviews, this study aimed to assess recent changes and efforts made in education reform to support inclusive practices for ID in international schools in Egypt. The study employed ecological systems theory (EST) to incorporate the framework into the thematic analysis of qualitative data, categorizing the school leaders’ and parents’ responses into four societal layers. The results revealed several challenges facing ID in Egypt, including inclusive leadership, teachers’ qualifications, support systems, and a sense of solidarity. The findings suggest that tailored interventions should be implemented to improve the educational outcomes of children with disabilities in inclusive settings.

Influencing People’s Populist Attitudes With Rhetoric and Emotions: An Online Experiment in the United States

Interest in populist voters has risen with the election of Donald Trump in the United States, the rise of right-wing populist parties in Europe, and the longevity of populist leaders in countries like Italy, Hungary, Turkey, and Venezuela. Yet, little attention has been given to what mechanisms may affect populist attitudes, leaving us without recommendations for media or politicians on how to mitigate populism’s known negative effects. This study investigates one such mechanism—political rhetoric working through emotional states—to determine whether grievances centered on subjective perceptions of injustice and inequities in the system operate through negative emotions to increase populist attitudes, as is often assumed in the literature, and whether an antidote to those perceptions may be found in a sense of solidarity and mutual support. For our analysis, we conducted a nationally representative online survey experiment of 2,006 respondents in the United States in November 2018. Broadly, we find evidence that negative emotional states increase populist attitudes, but positive emotions do not have an impact. Likewise, political rhetoric reinforcing a sense of unfair advantage for some people further increases populist attitudes. Importantly, we find that reducing these negative emotions by emphasizing solidarity can reduce populist attitudes. These findings not only deepen our understanding of the triggers of populism, but also take the first step in building a tested toolbox of strategies to minimize its negative effects.

Shaping the perception of flood risk among residents of riverbank informal settlements in Kathmandu

The aim of the study is to investigate how riverbank informal settlement residents in Kathmandu perceive flood risk. The way they perceive flood risk influences their response to flood impacts and their adaptation measures. Their responses and initiatives to reduce flood risk are important because they are less likely to receive support from the government as they are considered illegal residents. Studies on perceptions of hazard risk in informal settlements are rare. This study contributes to fill this gap. The study explores factors influencing the flood risk perception through 40 semi-structured interviews from three riverbank informal settlements situated along the Bagmati River, the largest river running through Kathmandu. Thematic analysis of the interviews identified various factors influencing perception of flood risk. The study reveals that flood risk perception among informal settlement residents is shaped by flood impacts such as life-threatening experiences, property damage, and effects on health and livelihood, along with residents’ awareness of flooding dynamics and realisation of vulnerabilities due to their socio-economic conditions. Furthermore, a sense of solidarity among residents fosters bonding social capital, influencing their flood risk perception. The findings benefit various stakeholders by providing guidance for collaboration with informal settlement residents to work towards flood risk reduction. The results underscore the need for governments to view informal settlements not solely as illegal entities, but as areas facing substantial challenges from flood impacts and taking appropriate measures to address these challenges.

The resilience of the regional ecosystems: Healthcare-service organizations, public agents and communities in the times of COVID-19

The aim of this study is to compare regional ecosystems' resilience in terms of their ability to contain the spread of Covid-19. This is carried out through institutional measures as well as through spontaneous community behaviour in order to preserve public health and the institutional actions to strengthen the health-care system in dealing with the pandemic. The discussion is framed through the institutional approach. We develop a twostep method. In the first step, regions have been clustered by considering the kind of response to Covid-19, in terms of formal and informal rules. In the second step a random effect panel regression analysis was performed in order to define the effect of the single response variable to Covid-19 on the resilience index over time. Implications for policy makers are then discussed. The first is that coping with a regional emergency requires taking into account regional specificities. Strictly imitative models risk being inconsistent with the characteristics of the area, resulting in outputs that are not homogeneous. The second involves social capital, which is crucial to the application of the norms. In regions with high social capital there is a sense of solidarity that presents itself in informal rules aimed at reinforcing the formal rules. However, there is no sense of conformity for the sake of conformance to the standard.

Social drivers and differentiated effects of deagrarianisation: A longitudinal study of smallholder farming in South Africa's Eastern Cape province

South Africa's smallholders have progressively become disengaged from farming despite their lack of alternative livelihood options, resulting in the deepening of rural poverty. Farming's reduced role in rural livelihoods represents a wider trend of deagrarianisation seen across contexts and geographies. While most literature on deagrarianisation focuses on its economic dimensions, this paper places the social and cultural dimensions of farming at the centre of its analysis to understand why smallholders are becoming less engaged in agriculture. Drawing on Habermas's concept of the colonisation of the lifeworld and on ethnographic fieldwork in four villages in South Africa's Eastern Cape Province, we show how local social cohesion in farming has been undermined by a series of oppressive state policies. Recent agricultural development interventions have not managed to break with this trend, but instead continue to undermine social cohesion and reciprocity. The impacts of this loss of social cohesion in farming have been most severe for the poorest households who seldom plant their fields today. Based on our findings, we suggest that agricultural development programmes should aim to build on smallholders' appreciation of agriculture, their remaining connections to the land and their sense of solidarity, rather than focusing exclusively on stimulating the development of individual entrepreneurs.

The Process of Becoming a War Refugee: The Case of a Finnish Boy

The article observes the different stages of the gradual process by which Olev Mikiver became a refugee, following the formation and interweaving of his professional (artist’s) identity, his identity as a soldier and as a refugee, based on his private letters. The study mainly focuses on four letters written by Mikiver during the Finnish Continuation War, in which he participated as a volunteer in 1943–1944; these volunteers later became known as the Finnish Boys. The analysis of the letters focuses on the topics discussed in the letters and on Mikiver’s word usage. In addition to verbal means of expression, visual means have also been observed to gain additional information about the changes in identity, attitudes, and mood of the letter-writer. The analysis showed that despite Mikiver remaining a devoted artist, he adopted the soldier identity in a relatively short time and no conflict arose between the two identities. In 1944, Mikiver fled to Sweden. Based on the letters he sent to his friend Ilmar Laaban between 1948 and 1993, some observations have also been made about how he coped with refugee life in Sweden. In the post-war period, the opportunity to continue as an artist in exile, on the one hand, and the sense of solidarity with other Finnish Continuation War veterans on the other hand, helped Mikiver overcome his depression as a refugee.

Political icon and role model: Dimensions of the perceived ‘Greta effect’ among climate activists as aspects of contemporary social movement leadership

The 2019 Fridays For Future global climate strikes were extraordinary protest mobilisations in many respects, both in terms of size, age composition and the absence of a specific external triggering event. To properly understand it, one must account for Greta Thunberg's leadership role in the mobilisation – the ‘Greta effect’. We contribute to such an account by linking the ‘Greta effect’ on individual mobilisation to theories of political iconicity and political role models. Empirically, we use unique data from two waves of international surveys of participants in European Fridays For Future protests – on 15 March and 20–27 September 2019 – demonstrating that the perceived individual impact of Greta differs considerably among those who were mobilised in climate strikes. Through multilevel regression analysis, we furthermore show that (a) young women were especially prone to have been inspired and mobilised by Thunberg as a role model and (b) subjectively assessed mobilising influence by ‘Greta’ – in her capacity as a political icon – is positively related to protest participants’ instrumental motivation, sense of solidarity and collective identity. We argue that our results contribute to a better understanding of informal social movement leadership in contemporary political mobilisations.

Understanding the Pan-Africanists in Africa

This paper studies the Pan-Africanists in Africa. The main concern is to identify and draw the difference which exists between the Pan-Africanists of yesterday and those of today in the context of developing Africa. Through a socio-historical perspective, the study agrees that the Pan-Africanists of yesterday were radical and determined about the socio-economic and political progress of Africa because they needed both the liberation and unification of Africa whilst the Pan-Africanists of today are no longer determined about the immediate socio-economic and political progress of Africa, because they lack both the purpose and a revolutionary spirit in the struggle for Pan-Africanism. The paper recommends that Africa needs a new generation of Pan-African Revolutionaries who can have both a revolutionary spirit and a sense of solidarity and unity in the struggle for Pan-Africanism in Africa, as well as a new type of citizen, a dedicated, modest, honest, uncorrupted and informed man.

A Study on the Effectiveness of PBL Classes Focusing on Solving Community Problems for Education for Sustainable Development

This study aims to reveal the effectiveness and significance of PBL classes through the analysis of a PBL class case centered on community problem solving for education for sustainable development . This study utilized a case study of a PBL class in the course “Reading the World Made with Empathy,” which was designed under the theme of the 11th goal of the SDGs, “Sustainable Cities and Communities,” as a tool for analysis. The learning goal of the PBL class is to cultivate ESD core competencies through community problem solving project activities.The results of the t-test for the evaluation of ESD core competencies showed a significant difference in the mean values of competencies before and after the training, which proved that ESD core competencies improved after the training. There are three aspects of significance in the evaluation of reflection through the analysis of reflection records. First, through team activities of cooperation and feedback, the cognitive capacity of interconnectedness to relate local issues to oneself was expanded. Second, social responsibility and socio-emotional competencies were cultivated through field trips to allow for the students to deeply empathize with local issues and to get a sense of solidarity with the community. Third, the motivation and willpower to cultivate problem-solving skills and practical action capabilities were enhanced by deriving the results of the S-VALLEY project, which solved practical problems for the sustainable development of the region.Therefore, this community problem solving oriented PBL class is expected to provide meaningful implications for the expansion of ESD in universities and the development of practical education programs in terms of fostering the core competencies pursued by ESD and by encouraging participation and action in community activities.

사이보그적 존재들을 통해 본 포스트휴먼의 몸 짓기

Mapping Posthuman body through Cyborg beings is a research project that examines the meaning of the posthuman through monster- like figures and cyborg beings, often used as symbolic representations of a cyborg in Korean performance art. The project manifests a critical view of transhumanism, which adheres to the same dichotomous division emphasized by humanism, and examines the posthuman being as “materially embodied, embedded in the environment, and intertwined with the world” as well as the ‘worlding-with’ method as a mode of posthuman existence. In particular, she turns to Donna Haraway's concept of the cyborg as the theoretical framework to explore how cyborg politics, which transcends the traditional, dichotomous thinking of the West and breaks down its boundaries, has developed within the trajectory of Korean art history. Research focuses on the bodies that get reconstructed at every moment within relationships by the act of blurring boundaries and suggests that we contemplate the meaning of our interactions with others and the sense of solidarity within the context of post- humanism in the post-COVID-19 era.

"You knew you had to be there, it had to be done": Experiences of health professionals who faced the COVID-19 pandemic in one public hospital in Spain.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the lack of a government contingency plan for an effective response to an unexpected health crisis. This study uses a phenomenological approach to explore the experience of healthcare professionals during the first three waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in a public health hospital in the Valencia region, Spain. It assesses the impact on their health, coping strategies, institutional support, organizational changes, quality of care, and lessons learned. We carried out a qualitative study with semi-structured interviews with doctors and nurses from the Preventive Medicine, Emergency, and Internal Medicine Services and the Intensive Care Unit, using the Colaizzi's 7-step data analysis method. During the first wave, lack of information and leadership led to feelings of uncertainty, fear of infection, and transmission to family members. Continuous organizational changes and lack of material and human resources brought limited results. The lack of space to accommodate patients, along with insufficient training in treating critical patients, and the frequent moving around of healthcare workers, reduced the quality of care. Despite the high levels of emotional stress reported, no sick leave was taken; the high levels of commitment and professional vocation helped in adapting to the intense work rhythms. Healthcare professionals in the medical services and support units reported higher levels of stress, and a greater sense of neglect by their institution than their colleagues in managerial roles. Family, social support, and camaraderie at work were effective coping strategies. Health professionals showed a strong collective spirit and sense of solidarity. This helped them cope with the additional stress and workload that accompanied the pandemic. In the wake of this experience, they highlight the need for a contingency plan adapted to each organizational context. Such a plan should include psychological counseling and continuous training in critical patient care. Above all, it needs to take advantage of the hard-won knowledge born of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Socialization of Land Use by Applying Modern Agriculture with Hydroponic Cultivation

Community service is an activity that realizes and improves the quality of community knowledge in helping the problems experienced by the community in the community. Through the Thematic Real Work Lecture (KKNT) program based on community service, this activity is to increase students' sense of solidarity with the existing conditions of the community. The use of land with hydroponic cultivation is an alternative that can be done by utilizing minimal yard land and being able to use used goods. Farming with hydroponics is very environmentally friendly in addition to not using pesticides, also the production can be used alone or as an economic source of household income. In addition, the outputs obtainedare n: (1) Improvement of superior quality of resources; (2) improving household economic resources; (3) Encourage the progress of the village. On the other hand, to ensure the discipline and participation of KKNT student participants and the community, by seeing the success in the form of outputs produced
