Understanding the Intention Behind Muslim Consumers’ Decision to Purchase Green Products

The increasing global emphasis on sustainability has significantly influenced consumer behaviour towards green products. However, the specific factors driving green purchase intention (GPI) remain insufficiently explored in the literature. This study examines the determinants of GPI among Muslim consumers in Banjarmasin, focusing on three critical variables: green product knowledge (GPK), plastic ban policy (PBP), and religiosity. A quantitative research approach was utilized, involving data collection through a structured questionnaire administered to 465 respondents aged 18 and older with prior experience purchasing green products. The study employed PLS-SEM with SmartPLS version 3 for the analysis. The results is insignificantly influence GPK on GPI statistically. In a different way, PBP shows a significant effect on GPI, highlighting the effectiveness of regulatory measures to encourage sustainable behaviour. Additionally, religiosity shows a significant positive influence on GPI, indicating that moral and ethical considerations rooted in religious beliefs are crucial in shaping consumer attitudes towards green purchasing. This research enriches the literature by merging regulatory, cognitive, and cultural viewpoints to deepen understanding of green consumer behaviour. It also provides actionable insights for policymakers and marketers to encourage sustainable consumption practices.

Cultural Aspects of the Transformation of t he Term Podcasting

This article presents the results of a study of the transformation of the very concept of podcasting in domestic scientifi c discourse, in the Russian media fi eld from a cultural point of view. Podcasting is a form of transmission of mainly audio or video materials (VODcasts) to the Internet, which has existed in the world for about twenty years. Today, podcasts are associated not only with spoken audio content, but also with video interviews, and even with voice messages on the social media Telegram. Moreover, a podcast can be understood as almost any work in the digital media space, even text. This work was carried out in 2023 as part of a comprehensive study of the transformation of the audiovisual environment on new technological platforms, which has been carried out by the Department of Television and Radio Broadcasting of the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University since 2017. The purpose of this stage was to determine what is currently understood by the word podcasting and an attempt to capture its distinctive format features, cultural aspects of the evolution of the concept. The methods used were conceptual and contextual types of analysis. The cognitive approach made it possible to consider the verbalized key concepts of scientifi c discourse. The defi nitions given to podcasting by domestic and foreign researchers, practitioners, market participants in the process of development and formation of the industry, as well as a control group of listeners were analyzed. The authors of this article make an attempt to give the most relevant cultural interpretation of the concept of podcasting. The main conclusion is that Russian-language podcasting, for a number of reasons, is developing along a trajectory that is largely different from the world one, in particular the American one. But its development is complicated by a number of factors, including geopolitical and cultural ones. The concept of “podcasting” will most likely continue its evolutionary movement in search of a more solid position in the sociocultural space.

THE ORIGINS OF THE PROVINCIAL PHOTOGRAPHER’S CREATIVITY EARLY XX CENTURY A.A. ZIRAH

The work of the provincial Ufa photographer of the early XX century A.A. Zirakh does not go beyond the descriptive discourse in the literature of local lore. However, we believe that it is a phenomenon that needs to be interpreted from a historical and cultural point of view. We tried to understand what a small insurance employee was motivated by to selflessly give the last decade of his life to photography. The very analysis of photographs by A.A. Zirakh led to an appeal to the problem of the difference between history and memory. The surviving photographs indicate that A.A. Zirakh was more interested in the architecture and landscape of the city than in the events. This confirms the thesis that the artist considered his collection as a tool of memory, but not as a historical source. Memory, unlike history, is an area of individual perception. In this regard, our attitude differs from the one of the representatives of the "place of memory" concept. The nature of A.A. Zirakh's work is associated with the problem of the attitude of the Russian intelligentsia to the province. We believe that monotony is the defining mood of the provincial chronotope. But a creative person can’t control the time. A scholar is deprived of the opportunity to act as a subject of historical processes in province. The monotony and eventlessness of backwater time are changed only under the influence of the center. On the contrary, the monotony and, consequently, the meaninglessness of the landscape of the outskirts are amenable to creative transformation. Breaking out of the monotonous environment of familiar urban objects through photography, A.A. Zirakh forces to focus attention on them, to notice the uniqueness and thereby destroy the anonymity of the urban landscape.

The Influence of Clan Culture on the Demand for Family Commercial Health Insurance: The Case of China

This article examines the reasons for the underdevelopment of commercial health insurance as a family risk-sharing mechanism, from the viewpoint of traditional Chinese clan culture. Using genealogical data to create city-level indicators of clan culture, this study investigates its impact on the demand for family-oriented commercial health insurance. The results indicate a negative correlation between the intensity of clan culture and the demand for family commercial health insurance, and a smaller percentage of income allocated to health insurance premiums in areas with stronger clan culture. This crowding-out effect primarily occurs through bilateral transfer payments encouraged by mutual aid among clan members.

Deaf role-models for Deaf children in hearing families: a scoping review.

The use of Deaf role-models (DRMs) with Deaf children born into hearing families is a practice aimed at improving outcomes for Deaf children, yet there is little peer-reviewed research available to influence future direction of such. This scoping review directs attention to available research on DRMs as a socio-linguistic and cultural viewpoint for balancing a predominantly audiological approach for early intervention for Deaf children. Systematic database searches initially yielded 132 records, of which seven articles were included in this scoping review. Findings are presented as five themes: 'Deaf Gain' and associated cultural capital, effective communication, developmental influences, family (or caregiver) attitudes to Deafness, and administration of DRM programs. Few formalized DRM programs were identified within the literature. The review concludes with recommendations for further exploration of the DRM experiences of Deaf people and their families within Australia.

Attachment theory across cultures: An examination of cross-cultural perspectives and alloparenting practices (Mini-Review)

Attachment theory initially put forth by Bowlby is a basis for comprehending the emergence and importance of emotional bonds between infants and their caretakers. However, contemporary studies have increasingly highlighted the necessity for accounting for cultural contexts in attachment dynamics. This paper aims at investigating all aspects of attachment theory using a cross-cultural perspective to find out how cultural norms and customs influence relationships of attachment. In particular, it is based on an explanation of the concept of alloparenting which implies that caregiving duties are distributed among more than one member in a community. The author compares Western and non-Western child-rearing practices including examples from such societies as Aka foragers located in Africa or Beng people in West Africa among others thereby revealing the wide range of different kinds of relationships formed as attachments by humans. Furthermore, it also probes how this affects child development, family structures, and societal values regarding culture-specific ways that children attach to primary caregivers through understanding themselves as culturally specific and thus not universal. By synthesizing experiential research and speculative platforms, this paper enhances our comprehension of attachment theory in terms of cultural diversity, stressing the significance of including cultural viewpoints in developmental psychology research as well as its everyday use.

Relations between school climates and bullying behaviors in Chinese adolescents: The mediating role of prosocial tendency

This research investigated the relationships between school climates and bullying behaviors in Chinese adolescents, and tested the mediating effect of prosocial tendency according to the seesaw effect. School climates were operationalized using three constructs: subjective diversity of student development goals, teacher support, and peer trust. Bullying behaviors included traditional (i.e., physical, nonphysical, and relational) and cyber bullying behaviors. We recruited 538 adolescents from three schools in Beijing, China (286 girls, 252 boys; average age = 12.47) and asked them to fill out the surveys measuring school climates and prosocial tendency at the outset and to report school bullying behaviors three months later. The results showed that subjective diversity of student development goals and peer trust were directly associated with less cyber bullying behavior. Moreover, teacher support and peer trust were indirectly associated with less traditional bullying behaviors via prosocial tendency. Our findings extend the existing literature on the relationships between school climates and bullying behaviors by incorporating different types of bullying behaviors, concentrating on Chinese adolescents from a cultural viewpoint, and tapping into the underlying mechanism via revealing prosocial tendency as a mediator. Theoretical and empirical contributions of this study, as well as practical implications are discussed.

CULTURAL BELIEFS AND INTERPRETATION OF SYMPTOMS OF SCHIZOPHRENIA IN KENYA

This abstract provides a concise overview of the prevalence of cultural beliefs and their impact on the recognition and treatment of schizophrenia symptoms in Kenya, drawing from a review of relevant literature including "A survey of psychosis risk symptoms in Kenya," "Cultural Aspects of Major Mental Disorders: A Critical Review from an Indian Perspective," "Psychotic Symptoms in Kenya – Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Relationship with Common Mental Disorders," and "Exploring mental health practice among traditional health practitioners: a qualitative study in rural Kenya." This review reveals a complex interaction between traditional cultural beliefs that are held by many Kenyan communities and Western biomedical viewpoints on schizophrenia. Results of a survey conducted in Kenya on psychosis risk symptoms highlight the substantial overlap between symptoms that are distinctive to a culture and those that meet Western psychiatric standards. This overlap emphasizes how crucial it is to use culturally aware methods when diagnosing and treating schizophrenia in Kenya. Studies conducted on psychotic symptoms in Kenya show that a significant proportion of schizophrenia patients experience symptoms that are culturally specific, such as spirit possession and witchcraft beliefs. These culturally particular symptoms frequently impact behavior related to seeking help and adhering with treatment, with traditional healers having a significant role in the treatment of mental illness. Reliance on conventional healers, however, may impede treatment outcomes for people with schizophrenia and prolong the time it takes to receive evidence-based psychiatric therapy. It is important to consider the cultural perceptions and beliefs around the symptoms of schizophrenia in Kenya highlight the critical need for culturally competent methods to mental health treatment. Schizophrenia treatment initiatives must strike a careful balance between honoring various cultural viewpoints and encouraging cooperation between conventional healers and biological professionals. The creation of culturally appropriate therapies and the improvement of mental health literacy in Kenyan communities ought to be the top priorities for future research in order to guarantee that people with schizophrenia have fair access to high-quality mental health care.

Identity and Otherness in Interwar Chișinau

Proposing the image of the other in the interwar Chisinau, we set out to decode the ways in which the people of Chisinau reflected in the mirror of the other, so that we came to address the aspects of citizens and foreigners in relation to the city, the old and new elites as well as the periphery of the city, national-ethnic minorities and internal and external immigrants, including refugees, as well as the marginals of society. From what has been presented, we can see that Chisinau from the beginning of the interwar period had an identity mark, with claims of greatness, derived from the physiognomy of the former tsarist empire. Spectacular in its special way of being, Chisinau had those facets that still reminded (from the wide streets, the multi-ethnic spectrum of the population) of the existence of a cosmopolitan community detached from a multicultural urban space so contrasting with the periphery of the city, completely monolithic from an ethnic and cultural point of view. Gradually, during the more than 20 years of Romanian administration, Chisinau has woven into its history, through the rise of the new and the decline of the old elites, characteristics of Romanianness and new trends. The space of rediscovery, perhaps even the beloved city of so many nationalities, from Jews, Russians, Ukrainians, to Armenians and other communities, Chisinau revealed the experience of the daily difficulties of being different in relation to the rest of the cities within Romania as a whole.
