PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS FOR PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN’S SOCIAL COMPETENCE FORMATION

The article defines the essence of the category “social competence”, and characterizes its structural components. Thus, the structure of social competence includes motivational, cognitive, activity, and reflective components. Various approaches to defining the social competence of children of primary school age are represented.

Speculative Geographies and the Horizons of Performance Studies

This essay examines performance in relation to speculative geographies, a term suggesting the search for and/or creation of worlds at once underdetermined and subject to the imagination. These endeavors might be utopic in the sense of envisioning new social formations or dystopic in the sense of connoting the effects of resource extraction and financial speculation. Building on a speculative geography called the Chinese Atlantic (based on a book of that name), the essay proceeds to elaborate Chinese transnational circulations in the Nordic region with an emphasis on the Arctic. In this vein, the Chinese Arctic is offered as another speculative geography that brings into focus emergent relationalities: between individuals, between nation-states, between human and non-human actants. These relationalities create the potential for social transformation at various scales with both life affirming and life negating effects.Divided into six parts, the essay provides a survey on which to scaffold future research. The first part explains the genealogy of the analytical frame it offers and indicates how the writing in terms of both style and content is meant to function. The second situates speculative geographies in relation to selected writings on utopias. The third highlights selected performances that might serve as an antecedent to a Chinese Arctic paradigm. The fourth continues this move with an emphasis on Chinese investment in the energy and transportation sectors of Nordic countries as well as some of the soft power moves to support these efforts. The fifth section discusses the implications of speculative geographies as hyperobjects. The conclusion returns to events that generated the article and the implications for utopic thinking.

Formy i sposoby sotsialnoho zakhystu viiskovosluzhbovtsiv v Ukraini

This article focuses on elucidating current academic perspectives on the principal forms and methods of social protection for military personnel in Ukraine. Through an exploration and clarification of the concept of social protection for military personnel and an analysis of approaches to understanding the essence of its forms, the article formulates a definition of the concept of social protection forms for military personnel in Ukraine. These forms are conceptualized as well-established activity models for legal subjects, aligned with legal principles and stipulated by law. They are aimed at securing (in line with specific areas of social protection) an adequate level of social security for military personnel and, in certain cases, their family members. This is achieved by employing relevant methods and deploying suitable means within the defined framework of social protection for military personnel. Several specific features distinguish contemporary forms of social protection for military personnel in Ukraine. Firstly, these forms delineate the characteristics of activities aimed at ensuring an adequate level of social security for military personnel. Secondly, the objective of these forms of social protection is to establish conditions conducive to a socially secure existence for military personnel and, in certain instances, their family members within the ambit of the relevant area of social protection. Thirdly, these forms of social protection encompass the planning, organization, initiation, progression, and conclusion of specific legal relations pertaining to the social protection of military personnel. Fourthly, in Ukraine, the forms of social protection for military personnel are integrated into a comprehensive system comprising various types of social protection forms, each aligned with the principal areas of social protection. The author identifies the following principal forms of social protection for military personnel in Ukraine: the health and recreational form, the housing and living form, the labor law form, the material form, the pension form, and the social adaptation and rehabilitation form, among others. The methods of social protection for military personnel in Ukraine can be conceptualized as standard actions prescribed by law (and aligned with legal principles), employed through various techniques within established forms of social protection. These methods are instrumental in ensuring the state of social security for military personnel and, in some cases, their family members. Current Ukrainian legislation delineates several primary methods of social protection for military personnel, including social services, social assistance, and benefits. The article concludes by summarizing the research findings and suggesting future avenues for advancing scholarly understanding of the prevailing forms and methods of social protection for military personnel in Ukraine.

Lessons of Sustainability: The Folk Reading of a Ritualistic Landscape

This paper entails an investigation of the reciprocal relationship between the agrarian landscape and the cultic practice of teyyam prevailing in the cultural region of Kolattunāṭu. Focusing on the agrarian history, production pattern and the resultant social formations, it attempts an analytical reading of the socio-historical realities of teyyam in Kolattunāṭu. The characteristic features of teyyam performance and its consistent co-existence with the associated landscape have resulted in distinctive cultural and social formations in the region. The current research argues on the interdependencies of teyyam and its agrarian landscape and analyzes the multitude of ways in which liturgies of teyyam communicate exemplars of ecological and social sustainability. The aspects of sustainability intrinsic to the folk ritual are explored through three facets discussed in the paper. At the onset, the role of teyyam in shaping its sacred realm thereby simultaneously getting shaped by the singularities of geography is discussed. Second is an inquiry into the temporal and spatial dimensions of teyyam performance to establish the reciprocal relationship between teyyam and its ritualistic landscape. The third facet of the inquiry analyses the case of a folk performance through the spatial lens to decipher the layers of interdependencies within its sacred realm.

Editorial Foreword

EJOLTs 2023, Volume 16 is the first volume to be comprised completely by content published as soon as the Editorial Board has accepted it for publication. The change from publishing just twice a year has been introduced for a number of reasons. EJOLTs has always been a web-based journal and practitioners have been encouraged to make the best use of innovations in technology in their research and to communicate their accounts of their Living Educational Theory Research. However, EJOLTs continued to follow many of the practices of traditional print-based journals, including publishing issues at predetermined moments in time. Developments in technology and recognition and appreciation of what constitutes educational knowledge by the global Academy now open new possibilities of publishing. Hence the decision to change to publishing, as papers are ready, rather than gathering contents for issues to publish twice a year. Creating, validating and making public such accounts are an integral part of Living Educational Theory Research. A researcher writes to communicate the knowledge they have created in the process of researching their practice to understand and improve it and create a valid account for their educational, values-laden, influence in their own learning, in the learning or others and in the learning of the social formation they together comprise. As they create an account of their research to communicate to an audience they look through a different lens at their practice and research and in the process they change both.

SOSIALISASI DAN PELATIHAN BIJAK BERMEDIA SOSIAL MEDIA AGAR TERHINDAR DARI JERAT UU ITE BAGI SISWA/SISWI MADRASAH ALIYAH DARUD DA'WAH WAL IRSYAD (DDI) PANGKEP

Students to become the next generation of the nation and state must have knowledge of how to use technology properly (Haryani, & Susanti, 2018). Not all students have an understanding of how to socialize safely in order to avoid cyber crimes which will become increasingly massive in the future, and students from Madrasah Aliyah Darud Da’wah Wal Irsyad Pangkep are no exception. For this reason, socialization and training on safe social media are needed so that students at Madrasah Aliyah Darud Da’wah Wal Irsyad Pangkep can avoid cyber crimes such as theft of personal data, fraud on behalf of other people on social media, cyber bullying breaking into other people's accounts. The method used in this service is in the form of socialization and training in providing education to students of Madrasah Aliyah Darud Da’wah Wal Irsyad Pangkep. To measure the level of understanding before socialization, a pre-test was carried out with a result of 36.6 and a post-test after socialization of 85.8. From these results, it can be concluded that community service activities have increased partners' understanding regarding safe social media to avoid cybercrime.

Provisioning the Counter-City: Alternative imaginaries of urban futures from Harare, Zimbabwe

Drawing from critical urbanists, this article conceptualizes provisionality—flexible, improvisational, and adaptable practices, as an ethos and practice that holds utility and possibility for alternatively understanding cities in ways that counter conventional modernist imaginaries of urban life and spaces. By attending to how cities are rather than how they “should be,” this article offers a conceptual and analytic counter to re-animate, re-imagine, and re-world cities beyond conventional and modernist frames. Using ethnographic observations supplemented by 22 semi-structured interviews, I trace how Hararians' provisional approaches to surviving political and economic precarity reveal collaborative networks and transgressive cross-border economic communities. I argue that the relationalities and spatialities of people's interdependent and provisional arrangements reveal economic circumventions, social collaborations, and spatial transgressions, across and beyond the city that push back against static modernist renderings of the urban. This reading of the counter-city examines the ephemeral, emergent, and cross-cutting forms of sociality within them, positioning urban spaces as frontiers of inter-dependent experimentation, fluid mutuality, and collaboration.

Efektivitas Sosialisasi Outbreak Response Immunization (ORI) Terhadap Pelajar di Desa Laweyan Kecamatan Sumberasih Kabupaten Probolinggo

Diphtheria is a highly contagious disease, and is caused by the gram-positive bacteria Corynebacterium diphtheriae toxin strain. This disease is characterized by inflammation at the site of infection, especially the mucous membranes of the pharynx, larynx, tonsils, nose and also the skin. The number of diphtheria cases in East Java as of March 2023 is 51 cases spread across 26 districts/cities with a total of 4 deaths. DPT immunization in Indonesia began in 1976 and was given 3 times, namely to babies aged 2, 3 and 4 months. Furthermore, DPT immunization was included in the School Children's Immunization Month (BIAS) program in 1984 with the aim of further increasing protection against diphtheria. The method used is socialization. Socialization was carried out through the delivery of material related to the meaning of diphtheria, symptoms of contracting diphtheria, solutions for preventing diphtheria, as well as breaking the chain of diphtheria spread through Outbreak Response Immunization (ORI). The service carried out in the form of socialization aims to increase knowledge and break the chain of diphtheria spread.

Spectres of ascendancy: Beckett, Yeats, and the politics of postcolonial amnesia

This essay reflects on the shifting status of “Ascendancy” as a colonial social formation and an historical and aesthetic category shaping the development of anticolonial and postcolonial thought in Irish writing and culture from the late nineteenth century to the contemporary moment of commemoration and anti-imperial reckoning. In particular, the essay considers how Ascendancy is a surprisingly useful category for thinking about Samuel Beckett and his reflections on power and empire. The essay reevaluates Beckett’s relationship with W. B. Yeats and explores the significance of their markedly different but intertwining relationships to Ascendancy. Looking at the arc of Beckett criticism within Irish studies alongside new readings of Yeats’s elegies for the Ascendancy Big House and his plays The Countess Cathleen and Purgatory, the essay explores how we might reevaluate that intellectual and cultural history amidst the recent controversies attending Ireland’s “Decade of Centenaries” and the reimagining of Ireland’s place within a global imperial history. As part of that exploration, the essay considers Beckett’s and Yeats’s legacies alongside twenty-first-century Ireland’s public monuments, commemorations, and architectural heritage while also reflecting on commissioned inquiries into the legacies of empire by the President of Ireland and Trinity College Dublin. In the midst of what President Michael D. Higgins has labeled a “feigned amnesia” around the legacies of empire in Ireland, the essay considers how Beckett’s work might be seen to have anticipated the terms of much of the current discourse.

Charisma and the Transformation of Western Culture 12th to 13th Centuries

The academic discussion of charisma takes two major voices as the point of departure: Max Weber and St. Paul. In both areas, sociology and religion, charisma is seen as a quality of persons. My argument is that entire cultures can be suffused by this force, and that social life, education, and modes of expression can be bearers and transmitters of charismatic force. I approach the argument conceptually, drawing on a remarkable passage in Goethe’s autobiography Dichtung und Wahrheit. What Goethe calls “the demonic” is charisma conceived as a force that can penetrate, unpredictably, either natural phenomena or persons. To these I add institution, cultures, and structures of government. The charisma of larger structures, like personal charisma, has a life-cycle, charisma in its cultural structuring being as unstable as in its personal embodiment. The idea opens cultural transformations to analysis. Clifford Geertz has provided a model. The sea-changes that transformed western European culture from the twelfth to the thirteenth century show us the end of a life-cycle of charismatic culture, and the transition to intellectual or textual culture. Charisma moved out of the realm of the lived and expressed social forms and into art and artifice, rationalizing philosophy, theology, liturgy and other forms of Christian discourse (sermons). Three voices from the later thirteenth century observe this development closely—the loss of charisma as a political–social–cultural force—and lament the loss.

Warfare, Political Economy, and Social Formations: Considering Central Andean Prehistory

Warfare is critical for anthropologists and prehistorians studying variation in human economies and societies. To view this variable comparatively, we must consider severity and regularity as documented by defensive facilities and locations, nature and frequency of weaponry, and bodily injuries likely from combat. Arkush (2022 and companion article) provides detailed documentation for explaining Andean warfare. Here, I look at war- fare as a constellations of phenomena involving raiding for wealth, competition over cor porate land ownership, and conquest warfare by complex chiefdoms and states aimed at maximizing the extraction of surpluses. My goal is to model warfare as imbedded within political economies with different goals and means based on sources of economic power. This is fundamentally a Marxist orientation, considering contrasting modes of economic organization representing competitive processes between interest groups. The Andean data suggest that warfare was elementally competition for corporately held agricultural lands intensified by facilities including especially irrigation. It varied in frequency and severity with population density increasing through time. With the emergence of institutional finance, however, overarching polities focus on conquest and intimidation to maximize surplus extraction as they imposed regional peace as documented for example by coastal EIP states and the Inca empire. Elaboration of offensive weaponry did not characterize Andean sequences in sharp contrast to Bronze and Iron Age Europe, suggesting distinctive trajectories of warfare. Key for success in Andean warfare was sizes of fighting forces as characterized by the numbers of sandals on the ground.
