From hegemony to Herrschaft? The growth and potential of a reactionary strain of politics on the British right

ABSTRACT This article argues that a reactionary mode of politics is emerging and informing more and more debate on the British Right. It defines reaction as 1) historicist attacks on liberal institutions or proxies, 2) the assertion of an anti-historicist ‘birth-culture’ axiom and 3) a platform of the ‘racialisation’ of welfare and the targeting of welfare in ways which promotes traditionalist values. It then assesses the published works of Nick Timothy, former chief of staff to Theresa May, and Munira Mirza, former political advisor to Boris Johnson, to assess the degree to which a reactionary mode of politics is present within the Party. I argue that both adopt political ontologies consistent with reaction, especially in mounting attacks on liberalism and ‘identity politics’, and that this ontological starting point allows both Timothy and Mirza to assert visions of society which serve to justify the reassertion of authority and inequality. It concludes by arguing that the Conservative Party’s increasing abandonment of pluralism in favor of Herrschaft, authority, over the British polity is an indication that the reactionary position is influential on the contemporary British Right.

Ценностные ориентации регионального студенчества: социологический анализ

The article analyzes the value orientations of regional students as a social group that has its own special evaluative attitude to the totality of material and spiritual benefits, expressed through cognitive, emotive and behavioral aspects of life. The article pays special attention to the theoretical approaches to the consideration of value orientations given in the works of E. Durkheim, T. Parsons, T. Lukman, K. Klakhonoma, P. Sorokin, J. Toshchenko and others. Understanding value orientations as one of the regulators of personality behavior allowed to identify the motivation of actions and ways to achieve the goals of regional student youth. In the course of the author's sociological research, a survey of the student youth of Balakovo was conducted (n= 332) – people selected according to a probabilistic quota sample. It was found out that a significant part of the respondents are guided by traditional values such as family (82.2%), health (49.3%), money (34.0%), friends (29.5%). However, students have new dominant forms of value orientations, namely, «to live in prosperity», «to open their own business». According to more than half of the respondents (50.3%), the formation of their value orientations depends on the educational system, while the family plays the largest role in shaping the value picture of the world (69.2%). The article concludes that the value orientations of students of the Saratov region (Balakovo city) are specific and contradictory. On the one hand, they express young people's own activity and understanding of the need for self-development, and on the other hand, they reflect the trends of the industrial economy, which is based on material capital and consumerism.

IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY ON FULƁE KINSHIP IN JIGAWA STATE, NIGERIA

This study examined the impact of technology on the kinship of the Fulɓe people in Jigawa State, Nigeria. The study employs secondary data and content analysis methods to achieve its objectives. It utilizes the diffusion of innovations theory as a theoretical framework to comprehend the impact of technology on Fulɓe kinship in Jigawa state. The investigation reveals that technology facilitates improved communication among Fulɓe communities, bolsters livestock management, introduces new economic opportunities for the Fulɓe culture and economy, expands the horizons of education, offers new possibilities for Fulɓe families to conceive and have children, enhances morbidity and reduces mortality rates among Fulɓe people in Jigawa State. On the other hand, technology diminishes face-to-face interaction among them, instigates changes in economic dynamics, challenges traditional values and norms deeply embedded within the Fulɓe community, introduces new methods of influencing ideas about lineage, inheritance, and the transmission of family identity, alters family structures and caregiving dynamics within the Fulɓe kinship system in Jigawa state. The study, therefore, recommends that government and community leaders should collaborate on initiatives that integrate indigenous wisdom with innovative technologies that can improve lives while preserving the essential aspects of the Fulɓe kinship system in Jigawa State.

Gender Bias in Korean Spousal Terms: Insights from An Online Survey and Comparisons with Japanese and Chinese

This research investigates gender bias in Korean spousal terms through an online survey conducted among Koreans (101 women and 134 men) from October 2023 to February 2024. Comparative analysis reveals that the gender bias in Korean aligns closer with that of Japanese than Chinese. Terms such as "바깥양반ba-kkat-yang-ban" (outer nobleman) and "집사람jib-sa-lam" (a person at home), emphasizing traditional gender roles, bear resemblances to "主人shu-jin" (master) and "家内ka-nai" (one inside the house) in Japanese. Korean couples also use terms based on their children's names when addressing each other publicly and privately, mirroring a practice observed between Japanese couples. Nevertheless, Korean spousal terms present specific features. For instance, "여보yeo-bo"(darling), exclusively used between spouses, signifies progress toward gender equality within the couple's relationship. Moreover, there is a noticeable uptick in men's use of the loanword "와이프wa-i-peu" (wife), and women's preference for the term "남편nam-pyeon" (male side), reflecting a growing awareness of gender equality. The results indicate that Korean spousal terms still reflect traditional male-dominated values, but are gradually improving. Further research is needed to elucidate the underlying reasons for gender bias hidden in spousal terms across East Asia.

Completion of irregular emotion sequence based on users' social relationships and historical emotions

The use of multivariate time series is often impeded by the discontinuity of key missing features. In social networks, the absence of individual sentiment attributes presents challenges to sentiment-driven applications, such as sentiment prediction. Traditional missing value imputation fails in this field as it overlooks the interplay between missing and observed features. This paper introduces a novel deep learn-ing model that captures and assimilates the evolving features of users and their neighbors for effective sentiment completion. Experimental evidence shows that our model outperforms five other methods in performance and efficiency.

Analisis Perubahan Sosial Dan Budaya Masyarakat Pegunungan Sebagai Dampak Dari Globalisasi

Globalization is a phenomenon that involves connections between nations in various aspects of life, such as changing the economics and technology, social structures and cultural values throughout the world. These changes can be seen in social relationship pattern between others that occur in Indonesian villages, the local traditions that were previously collective and deep are changed becoming individualism through the media and global connectivity. Globalization causes various problems in the field of culture, for example: loss of the original culture of a region or village, the erosion of cultural values, decreased sense of nationalism and patriotism, loss of kinship and mutual relationship, loss of self-confidence, lifestyles that are not in accordance with customs. So that education can become a driving force for positive change without eliminating the cultural identity of local communities. The approach used in this research is a qualitative with phenomenology type. This research is located in Gununggeni village, Probolinggo district. The results of this research explained that there have been significant changes in Gununggeni Village as the impact of globalization and modernization which changed various aspects of people's lives, including lifestyle, values and economic structure.

The mouth of God: the impact of religious training on story recall in Tibetan Buddhists

ABSTRACT Numerous studies have indicated that religious systems have a profound impact on individuals’ perceptions, emotions, and cognitive processes. The current research investigates the effects of religious upbringing and training on story recall in Tibetan Buddhists, specifically focusing on the Kagyu and Nyingma traditions. Based on the observation that the lineage of the Kagyu emphasizes a continuity of oral instructions passed on from master to student, we predicted that Kagyu monks would demonstrate a higher ability of recalling stories than Nyingma monks, even in a non-religious context. Supporting our theoretical perspective, the results showed that Kagyu monks recalled a significantly greater proportion of a folktale than Nyingma monks under the oral-presentation condition. However, the two groups of participants showed no significant differences in their story-recall performance under the written-presentation condition. These findings are consistent with the core values of the Kagyu tradition that gives central prominence to the oral dissemination of Buddhism teachings. This study presents the first empirical evidence for the notion that religious differences are associated with meaningful variations in narrative and memory skills for stories.

Various Media used to Detoxify Abrus precatorius - A Mini Review

Abrus precatorius, sometimes referred to as jequirity bean or rosary pea, is a tropical and subtropical plant species that is extensively scattered all over.

Assessment Methodology for Physical Vulnerability of Vernacular Architecture in Areas Affected by Depopulation: The Case of Comunidad Valenciana, Spain

The intensity with which the phenomenon of depopulation has affected rural municipalities in Spain between 1950 and 2022 has led to a loss in the intergenerational transmission of traditional knowledge, values and customs. Sociocultural loss entails associated physical risks: the abandonment, demolition, and loss of vernacular architecture. This research analyzes the evolution of this type of architecture in a period of acute depopulation and its current state of conservation. A total of 180 case studies in the region of Comunidad Valenciana are analyzed through four factors affecting the physical vulnerability of dwellings: year of construction, state of conservation, type of use, and a combination of all three. Data management software is used to combine all the information and produce the results in a tabular and graphical format, while the Geographic Information System is used to draw up risk maps showing the results. These results are then divided into analysis groups created according to the degree of depopulation observed in the years mentioned. This made it possible to identify the relationship between depopulation and the conservation of vernacular architecture, showing the risk level for each case study, and thus creating an analysis methodology applicable in other territories affected by depopulation at a national and international level.

Cultural Influences on Students' Information Technology Skills Development

This qualitative study examines the cultural influences on developing information technology (IT) skills among secondary school students in Vietnam. The research uncovers how cultural values, educational practices, and socio-economic conditions influence IT education by conducting in-depth interviews, focus groups, and classroom observations across urban and rural settings. Key findings reveal significant disparities in the perception of IT's importance between urban and rural areas, with cultural norms and economic realities influencing these attitudes. Traditional Confucian values inhibit active and exploratory learning methods in IT education. Additionally, English language barriers limit the effective use of global IT resources, while gender norms and socioeconomic status create uneven student opportunities. The study suggests policy interventions aimed at enhancing IT infrastructure, promoting gender inclusivity, and adjusting curricula to accommodate language and cultural nuances. Recommendations include the development of more inclusive, culturally sensitive educational practices to ensure equitable IT skill development. This research contributes to understanding the multifaceted impact of cultural factors on IT education and proposes strategies for crafting more effective and inclusive IT educational policies.

Multiagent-based deep reinforcement learning framework for multi-asset adaptive trading and portfolio management

The highly dynamic nature of stock markets has motivated researchers to propose various supervised learning models to assist investors to optimize financial performance. Machine learning models have been used to predict price trends, and approaches have been proposed for portfolio management. However, these studies focus on only one kind of financial issue, and the methods proposed exhibit poor generalizability. We address these problems with a multi-agent portfolio adaptive trading framework based on reinforcement learning to create an automated trading system with the best trading strategy that can be achieved by long-short situation judgment and adaptive capital allocation. We use the TD3 algorithm in the multi-agent algorithm to mitigate the overestimation and overfitting exhibited by traditional value functions and improve training stability. Experimental results show that the proposed framework outperforms single-agent reinforcement learning algorithms while achieving more stable returns.

Challenging the profanity of management of higher education

Management and managerialism in higher education have become increasingly synonymous with the corruption of self-regulating institutions, with the disbandment of collegial governance, and with a general devaluation of traditional academic norms and values; they have become profane concepts. In this paper, this profanity is challenged, through an exploration of its reach into the actual practices of higher education. We conceptualise two versions of profane management: management as discursively profane and as practically profane. Using data from a Delphi study on perceptions of quality and quality management, we explore the usefulness of these concepts and discuss their value.
