Identity discovery: Small learning interventions as catalysts for change in design education

As design has taken a social turn toward the co-designing of complex situations, design students are increasingly adopting multiple identities including that of a thinker, facilitator, activist and observer through engagement and collaboration with others. This expansion of identity from being solely a creative maker has presented a challenge for design students, which has been exacerbated by the external shock of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this article, we introduce small learning interventions that can be flexibly incorporated into the current design curriculum to promote identity discovery and self-awareness among students. Through four case studies, these interventions are organized at three levels of scale in understanding identity: learning from self, learning from each other and learning from self with others. By providing students with opportunities for reflection and introspection, we aim to help them develop their social mindset and identity as designers, as well as prepare for more comprehensive curricular changes in the future to catalyse the shift towards the social turn of design.

Smart Suspect Tracker Using Deep Learning Model

Each human progress requires a problem free environment since it influences all components of monetary and social turn of events. Quite possibly the main work in keeping a serene local area is finding lawbreakers. In India, finger impression ID is the most part used to distinguish lawbreakers In most of the cases, The fact is that most Suspects these days are becoming more skilled at trying not to leave their thumbprint on the scene, this type of recognizable proof is restricted. CCTV cameras, have been placed in number of public spots and confidential spots to give reconnaissance activities. CCTV can be used to distinguish the denounced rapidly. we give a Profound Learning model to find the criminal location. It's a two-step process: In camera photos, countenances of individuals are first distinguished and afterward perceived. This method might be utilized in an assortment of surveillance cameras in different areas to persistently screen and look for hoodlums inconspicuous. The police headquarters will be cautioned of a suspect's where abouts after the person in question has been distinguished. The police headquarters will be cautioned of a suspect's when he/she has been found.

Sharing responsibility for conspiracy beliefs: The agency-in-context model

In this paper, I borrow Neil Levy’s account of bad beliefs as a starting point to discuss how the social turn in epistemology affects our understanding of the formation, persistence, and spreading of conspiracy beliefs. Despite the recent convergence of philosophers and psychologists on the importance of studying the social dimensions of cognition, current models of conspiracy beliefs differ substantially as to the role that agents have in adopting and maintaining conspiracy beliefs. As a result, the proposals also differ in the remedial strategies they recommend. Here I endorse an integrative approach, which I call “agency in context”, combining explanations of bad believing in terms of the agent’s cognitive habits and information processing with societal failures in providing the support agents need to recognize marks of epistemic authority in sources of information and acquire the critical skills for the evaluation of competing explanations.

About the social turn in foreign library science

The article presents an analysis of the bibliographic database of the Google Academy as a source for studying the most cited articles of leading foreign journals in library and information sciences. The most rated journals on library science are introduced. The crisis of foreign library science as a social discipline in the subjects of the journal Scientometrics is ascertained. The place of foreign library science in the interdisciplinary discourse for November 2022 has been estimated. The leader of the turn towards new library science with greater focus on knowledge management and socio-ethical component in researches is designated R. David Lankes Professor of Library Science at the University of Texas in Austin. Based on the analysis of the most cited articles in the leading foreign journals on library science, the ways of modern library studies within the framework of the so-called “social turn”, as well as the directions of interdisciplinary research in the field of social sciences with the participation of specialists in library and information sciences, are shown. When searching for a new library methodology, the so-called “chronotopy” and “altmetrics” are considered as a compromise option for combining quantitative and qualitative research methods, which also involve the author’s immersion in the content under study – the basis for scientific introspection, self-reflection and self-control.

«Social» in Social Epistemology

The paper analyzes the main social contexts constituting social epistemology. It describes external so­cio-political contexts which define the framework and required procedures for open research, scientif­ic consensus and epistemic justice. However, the article argues for special importance of internal social contexts – those of knowledge production in research groups. The treatment of knowledge as a collective enterprise requires, in turn, discussion of a new set of problems: the ways and mechanisms of creating the collective subject of knowledge, ways of overcoming disagreements between individual researchers and research teams, explanation of scientific change and others. The «social turn» in epistemology calls for a careful study of these two types of interacting contexts – external and internal ones.

The Social Digital Twin:The Social Turn in the Field of Smart Cities

Complexity theory has become a conceptual framework and a source of inspiration for Smart City initiatives. In addition to many other conceptions, the Urban Digital Twin (UDT) became both a concept and a tool for generating the revolutionary act of data-driven 3D city modeling. Indeed, the UDT has increased the ability of planners to make decisions vis-à-vis data-driven city models; at the same time, however, it has attracted criticism because of its focus on the physical dimensions of cities. In facing these challenges, we seek to join the conceptual and practical efforts to generate a social turn in the field of Smart Cities and urban innovation. Creating a UDT with a social focus, we maintain, is not only a 1:1 translation of the built environment into the social realm, but also demands interdisciplinary knowledge from the fields of sociology, anthropology, planning, and ethics studies. This article makes theoretical and methodological contributions. Theoretically, it discusses the potential contribution of the Social Urban Digital Twin (SUDT) to the theory of urbanism, enabling us to represent the physical and the social environments as a single fabric. Methodologically, it enhances the know-how of the City Analytics research community by advancing a six-phase protocol for developing SUDTs, each phase of which integrates technological conceptions and social-theoretical content. The phases of the SUDT protocol are demonstrated using a specific case study: the experience of elderly residents of the Haifa neighborhood of Hadar—a low-income neighborhood in Israel characterized by ethnic and national diversity—during the Coronavirus pandemic. We conclude by discussing the contributions and limitations of the SUDT.

Ethnic dances: Close ties with the culture and history of the nation

Stress that the exchange of social legacy to what's in store is the main capability of schooling; social qualities should be shown for social turn of events, socialization of the individual and participation of a general public. With esteem schooling, it is feasible to introduce the information on many long periods of philanthropic qualities, which are situated external the mainstream society, to the understudies and pursue choices in the illumination of these aggregations. The conviction that social legacy is a significant Behind the dreams are the resources that will be preserved and supplied to people in the future. This idea emphasizes the "leading side" of folk dance, and scientific and linguistic research has become the focus of interdisciplinary research influenced by the "state-of-the-art similarity hypothesis" presented in 1980. I am. The word illustration comes from "metaforin". It is a combination of the Greek words "meta" (develop) and "ferein" (send). "Metaforein" means "tell" or "send", but today two are used as equivalent / comparable links between events or connections. (Draaisma, 2007).

Computers' Place in School Education and Early Challenges of Computer Assisted Learning in India

An important factor in the social turn of events is education. Tutoring plays a key role in ensuring the success of any nation's progress. A nation's future intellectual leaders must be highly skilled, proactive, and e-modern in approach. Over 50,000 public elementary schools in India have PC-supported learning (CAL) initiatives going on. In a few countries, it has been a significant topic of inquiry and investigation how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Computer Science (CS) have been included into educational programs. The term "instruction innovation" refers to the use of a wide range of contemporary media and materials to increase learning opportunities. Experts suggest training innovation as one of the anticipated approaches to successfully and competently enabling education.Before, teachers used to demonstrate in a rigid, official, and well-organized manner. Then, education was seen as a means of exchanging knowledge and ideas. Understudies utilized to memorize any content or instructions offered by the teacher. They frequently struggled to understand the instructions they were given and required to repeat at test time [1] [2] [3][4][5][6] [7]. The nature of CS instruction depends not only on the support of the government and the content of the curriculum but also on the knowledge and skills of the teachers who are teaching CS courses. Powerful instructors' CS preparation is therefore approaching. Since the 1980s, there have been active projects bringing PCs to low-paying areas in order to deliver innovative benefit.Such motivations would often anticipate a formative inspiration in the endeavor, especially in impoverished nations. Growing trust among government and confidential organizations, whose information on figures is a significant connection in human turn of events, and that the early presentation has large long-term gains, has led to an interest in such ICTD projects. In this essay, we investigate the availability of free processing in government-funded schools in rural India. This review suggests a system for focusing on PC-aided learning projects in low-pay schools after observing designs that imply "achievement" at both the mutual and individual levels. It also raises issues regarding learning and undertaking association that scientists in ICT training may look at for theories [8] [9] [10]11][12][13] [14].

Normativity in social accounts of reasoning: a Rylean approach

In recent years, the philosophy and psychology of reasoning have made a ‘social turn’: in both disciplines it is now common to reject the traditional picture of reasoning as a solitary intellectual exercise in favour of the idea that reasoning is a social activity driven by social aims. According to the most prominent social account, Mercier and Sperber’s interactionist theory, this implies that reasoning is not a normative activity. As they argue, in producing reasons we are not trying to ‘get things right’; instead our aims are to justify ourselves and persuade others to accept our views. I will argue that even if interactionism has played a crucial role in bringing about the ‘social turn’ in our thinking about reasoning, it does not convince in its claim that reasoning is not a normative activity. Moreover, I argue that it is in fact perfectly possible to understand reasoning as a social tool that is also aimed at getting things right. I will propose that Gilbert Ryle’s conceptualization of reasoning as ‘didactic discourse’ offers one possible way to understand reasoning as both social and normative activity, and that as such his ideas could be of great value for the social turn in our thinking about reasoning.

It addresses the question of problematic web usage, and this question is based on IoT technology. This paper then elaborates on the concept of data mining and related algorithms. It designs and analyzes the psychological mechanism and exercise intervention of college students’ problematic Internet use. The experimental results showed that in the incidence of Internet addiction, gender, grade, family economic environment, and single-parent family will be affected. Moderate-intensity (50%–80% VO2 max) aerobic and anaerobic exercise for more than 30 minutes per year has a positive effect on college students’ Internet addiction.

Vygotsky’s, Leontiev’s and Engeström’s Cultural-Historical (Activity) Theories: Overview, Clarifications and Implications

At the social turn in education, Vygotsky’s cultural-historical/sociocultural theory (VST) has become particularly influential. There are other cultural-historical traditions associated with VST, including Leontiev’s and Engeström’s versions of cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT). These approaches are frequently conflated, resulting in confusion that can be consequential in interpreting educational research findings. Unravelling these frameworks is thus an important and urgent task. In addressing this gap, the paper first provides an overview of the origins and fundamental tenets of these cultural-historical perspectives, followed by a critical evaluation of and comparison among them. Implications for utilising these cultural-historical traditions are discussed.

Neoliberalism, COVID-19 and conspiracy: pandemic management strategies and the far-right social turn

Neoliberal pandemic management strategies during the 2019–2022 COVID-19 virus pandemic rendered vulnerable to the disease, people in precarious work, with underlying health issues, and experiencing other forms of social discrimination and disadvantage. Herd immunity strategies designed to address the economic growth imperatives of neoliberal societies were often contrary to scientific advice, leading to high infection rates and the mass death of, in particular, essential workers in manufacturing, healthcare, and service provision. At times, health policies and political rhetoric scapegoated marginalised communities for the spread of the disease, subjecting them to the pandemic’s more harmful social and economic effects. These ideological-political environments also provided context for accelerationist and conspiratorial narratives about COVID-19 communicated among wider political networks, within economically-driven environments of counterfactual mass news and social media. Responding to this situation, this paper examines how certain pandemic responses from government and non-government actors collectively contributed toward racialised, classist social discrimination in responses to COVID-19, such that they might be said to constitute an intra-pandemic far-right ‘social turn’.

Protest and Electoral Breakthrough: Challenger Party-Movement Interactions in Germany

This paper studies party-movement interactions in Germany, focusing on Die Linke and the AfD, the two most recent additions to Germany’s multi-party system. The electoral rise of both challenger parties went along with mass protests, opposition to Hartz IV in the mid-2000s and anti-Islamic PEGIDA mobilisation in the mid-2010s. We shift the emphasis from how social movements turn into political parties, including significant organisational and personal overlap, to more indirect ways of how protest and electoral politics interact. Specifically, we identify a process composed of two interrelated mechanisms: an external politicisation spiral and an intra-party innovation spiral. We show how mass protest triggers both discursive shifts in the public sphere and internal strategic realignment, providing an opportunity for parties to ride the wave, secure their competitive advantages, and mobilise on the protestors’ grievances in the electoral arena. In such a way, challenger parties can take advantage of street protests even when they do not directly emerge from a movement. Methodologically, the article is based on a paired comparison, relying on survey data and an original protest event analysis that provides novel data on anti-Hartz IV and PEGIDA protest mobilisation in Germany.

Spatial and Temporal Characteristics and Driving Force Analysis of Cropland Change: Taking Dangyang City, Yichang City as Example

With the land use data of Dangyang City, Yichang City, Hubei Province in 2000, 2010, and 2020, 13 factors of nature, economy, and society were selected as the driving factors affecting the change of Cropland by using the land-use transition matrix and the kernel density analysis. In this study, the dynamic degree model of cropland use was introduced, combined with the geographic detector method, to explore the spatiotemporal variation characteristics and main driving factors of cropland in various towns in Dangyang City from 2000 to 2020. The results showed that the distribution of cropland generally showed a decreasing trend from southeast to northwest. From 2010 to 2020, the cropland in Dangyang City changed significantly, and the cropland area decreased. Economic and social factors turn out to be the main factors affecting the distribution of cropland. When interacting with other factors, the impact on cropland is weakened, and natural factors have interactive effects on cropland.

Trigant Burrow and the social world

AbstractThis paper reviews significant aspects of the work of Trigant Burrow (1875–1950), an early psychoanalyst who, while less well known than many of his contemporaries, was, as a number of commentators have argued, well ahead of his time. This article discusses four areas of his theory: the preconscious, the nest instinct, and the love subject; primary unity, primary intersubjectivity, and the “I” persona; social images, social neurosis, and the social unconscious; and, finally, group, community, and society. The article argues that the study of Burrow's work is important, firstly, in recognizing the historical antecedents of what may be viewed as a social turn in both psychoanalysis and psychotherapy; and, secondly, in helping psychoanalytic thinking to be more open to diversity with regard to marginalized theory and people.

Exploring Pakistani ESL Learners' Investment Practices in learning the English Language

English enjoys the status of a second language (L2) owing to the colonial past and the socioeconomic benefits linked with the instrumental use of the language under globalization. The language is prescribed as compulsory alongside Urdu in the national curriculum right through primary to tertiary education. Nevertheless, the learning outcomes are not synchronous with the attention language receives in education or society. In the past two decades, the social turn in second language acquisition and learning calls to investigate the language learning process in its situated context and the learner-centered approach emphasizes detailed systematic analysis of the learner's needs and
