СОЦИАЛЬНЫЙ ПРОЕКТ КАК ФАКТОР ЭФФЕКТИВНОГО РАЗВИТИЯ ТУРИЗМА В РСО-АЛАНИЯ

This article treats the economic advantage of the participation of social design in the development of the tourism industry at the national, regional and local levels. Destinations of various scales arise due to the formation of tourist interest, which in turn increases the demand for travel and the sale of tourism products. Mass media and modern technologies make it possible to carry out a wide coverage of the target audience, which also allows one to take an active part in the social projects proposed by the government of the Russian Federation and fund structures. The effectiveness of this measure to support both individuals and legal entities is considered in the article on the example of the implementation of the grant project “Trace by the Road”, the youth forum “Mashuk 2020” in the nomination “Sport, Healthy Lifestyle, Tourism”. The implementation of the idea provided an opportunity to obtain information of high-quality concerning the objects of natural, historical and cultural heritage of Ossetia in the modern format, that is, in addition to the traditional submission through printed publications and panel structures, digital content is given by clicking on the QR code to the site “Trace by the Road”, where today’s user receives comprehensive information in a convenient form. The economic benefit provided by social design is fully reflected in the reporting form, and the effect of the implemented idea is determined by the positive reaction of the society by increasing the number of page users. These results were achieved due to the introduction of the IT component in the implementation of the grant, increasing information accessibility in the mountains. For tourism, as a leading economic industry, digitalization makes it possible to be as customer-oriented as possible, namely. provide feedback: independently form a tour, make a purchase, leaving comments and reviews, which in turn, stimulates the dynamics of demand and expansion of offers.

Prefatory Notes to the Roundtable: Arctic Collaboration

Prefatory Notes to the RoundtableArctic Collaboration Yoko Kamikawa By the late 2030s, the Arctic may be largely ice-free in the summers. Ongoing environmental changes in the Arctic, such as those resulting from climate change, both pose a significant threat to the ecosystems and livelihoods of the Indigenous peoples there and serve as a warning about the precariousness of the global climate system. Unfortunately, however, even as these changes are already underway, we still need more data about many aspects of the Arctic. For example, the International Agreement to Prevent Unregulated High Seas Fisheries in the Central Arctic Ocean, ratified in 2021, regulated commercial fishing in the region due to inadequate information about the fish species available. Thus, we need to collaborate with various stakeholders to ensure a sustainable Arctic. First, it is vital to deepen discussions and knowledge exchanges about the Arctic between nations through multilateral and serial events, including the Arctic Circle Forums, the meetings of the International Symposium on Arctic Research, the Arctic Frontiers conferences, and the meetings of the Arctic Encounter Symposium. Second, the efforts of Track 1.5 diplomacy—such as the Arctic Cooperation Seminar hosted by the Sasakawa Peace Foundation and the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada that formed the basis for this roundtable—are also important. We need academics and think tank experts to act as knowledge brokers to facilitate information sharing between governments and the public and to promote evidence-based research about the Arctic in interdisciplinary fields. Finally, I would like to encourage more Arctic youth forums. Young people are future leaders and should take a proactive role in shaping global environmental issues. The Arctic region must embody international cooperation and be the "ocean of collaboration." Data sharing between the Arctic and non-Arctic nations is especially critical to facilitate scientific understanding and peace in the region. As Arctic affairs are shared issues for all humankind, non-Arctic states in Asia and elsewhere should be included in these critical dialogues. This inclusivity sends a powerful message under the theme of "knowledge for a sustainable Arctic" that can strengthen a functional and effective international cooperative system for the future.

The article pays special attention to the work of the Association’s Congresses, its activities on the preparation and holding of bilateral and multilateral forums for rectors of the CIS universities, the organization of international scientific and practical conferences “Universities and Society”, as well as support for major research programs such as the Vernadsky Interuniversity Consortium, Forums of Scientific and Creative Intelligentsia in the Commonwealth of Independent States, Science Festivals, Student youth forums, interaction with the Russian Union of Rectors, etc. The author emphasizes publication activity (in particular, the publication of monographs that highlight the key vectors of cooperation) as a special area for activity of the Eurasian Association of Universities, which is developing in the context of educational integration in the Eurasian space.

“Developing Critical Listening”

The mid-1930s saw broadcasters, educators, and researchers coalesce around the study and implementation of critical listening for educational radio as a new technology for school instruction. These early media literacy researchers were motivated by ambitions to counter distracted and passive listening caused by commercial radio, advertising, and propaganda; to foreground the aural sense in classrooms dominated by reading and writing; and to promote democratic listening in young people. The following investigation draws from previously unexamined archival materials from research centers and radio schools of the air in Ohio and Wisconsin in addition to the oral history of Dorothy Gordon, progressive host of the Youth Forum educational program on New York Times–owned WQXR-AM. This article provides a critical perspective on the role of listening, sound technologies, and literacies for contemporary concerns about political polarization, tensions between commercial and noncommercial media, and democratic engagement.

Reviving Hearts That Were Born to Advocate for the Cause of Children and Youth Without Parental Care: Wataneya Society’s Youth Forum

In Egypt, there are 12,000 children in residential care; however, this figure is underestimated due to the number of unregistered care homes. Like elsewhere in the world, children raised in residential care in Egypt usually receive inadequate quality of care. Nevertheless, when they reach 18–21 years old, they are abruptly required to leave care and manage all the details of their lives, while often unsupported, unprepared and unequipped to make the move. In addition, they carry the burden of a strong societal stigma, affecting them psychologically and standing in the way of their personal, social and professional well-being. To support youths’ transition to independence, Wataneya Society launched the ’Youth Forum’ in 2017. To date, the Youth Forum targets youth aged 18 and above with the following objectives: (a) providing a safe space for the youth to exchange their thoughts and experiences; (b) enabling youth to discuss the challenges they face and come up with possible solutions; and (c) empowering youth to communicate their voice to the concerned authorities and equipping them with the needed skills to become agents of change to their cause. Years of regular meetups imprinted the Youth Forum’s ripple effects on Wataneya Society’s different projects, such as Sanad Conference in 2019, which was the first regional conference on leaving care in the Arab World; the Care Leavers independence programme, which is a programme to develop the after-care system in Egypt; and Mobader (meaning ‘being proactive’) programme, which is led by the youth to enable them to practise community leadership skills. This article will highlight case studies of two of the Youth Forum’s participants to demonstrate: (a) the main challenges children and youth in residential care in Egypt face that affect their transition to independence; (b) how the Youth Forum tackles those challenges through its main objectives, activities and development processes; (c) the main outcomes of the Youth Forum and how it is connected to Wataneya Society’s different projects and the reform of the alternative care system in Egypt; and (d) key learned lessons from the process of implementation of the Youth Forum. The article will employ a framework adopted from the World Health Organization (2017).

Educação e ativismo climático

Young people around the world have become mobilized by the urgency to tackle the climate crisis. Increasingly gaining momentum, youth activist movements have been calling everyone’s attention to governmental inaction regarding the climate crisis and to the shortcomings of institutional political agreements (European Youth Forum, 2019). While for some parts of the general public (mostly in the Global-North, which has been less affected by) the consequences of climate change may still seem a somewhat distant, abstract and dystopian phenomenon, as they become more widely felt, the harder it will be to reverse the problem (Giddens, 2009). Faced with the paradox of having a problem that may seem ‘not quite severe enough’ while aiming at triggering generalized motivation for individual and collective change, young generations have been defying ‘adultist biases’ and mobilizing among themselves in new ways and dimensions.

The Role of Information and Communication Technology in the FP3K Community (Youth Forum Cares for Karo Education)

Humans are basically social creatures. In traditional life, the tendency of humans to live socially can be seen from their daily activities that require interaction with other humans such as fulfilling basic needs. They try to find connectivity with other humans in the search for these needs even though they are in different environments and do not know each other, it is the process that then forms communities which are social groups of several organisms that share an environment that generally has the same interests. The development of technology, especially the Internet, has a great impact on the culture of the community in their activities, the growth of this media has an influence on the culture of the community in interacting and communicating. With various developments of internet media such as social media, blogs, microblogs, web-communities, portals and so on, people can easily interact online or directly at the same time without any geographical, space or time restrictions, they can share anything "realtime". “Especially with the development of gadgets that make it easier for people to connect with each other. Interaction between individuals in cyberspace can be said to be a process of representing themselves through the medium of digital internet media, not physical presentations. The ease of connection that continues to develop changes the culture of social activities such as the ease in sharing various problems that exist around them and opening up the active role of its members to build solutions or a common goal. The focus of research in discussing this journal is the role of Information and Communication Technology in the FP3K community (Forum Pemuda Peduli Pendidikan Karo).

The Congregation's Perception of the Role of the Pastor as a Christian Religious Education Teacher

This research stems from concerns about the lack of pastoral roles in Sunday school teaching. Shepherds only focus on serving adults and youth. This study aims to identify and explain the forms of CE and the mechanism of its implementation in the congregation. And the author wants to know the role of the pastor as a CE teacher. This research uses the descriptive qualitative method. This study indicates that there are CE forums in the local congregation, including Sunday school forums, youth forums, men's forums, women's forums, rayon forums, and public worship forums. Activities in these CRE forums are carried out at certain times according to the management of each congregation. The role of the pastor in each of these institutions is generally applied to a task delegation system for each CE forum administrator. However, in particular, the Siding Pastor has not shown his active role as a CE teacher in the Sunday School, Youth Youth and Women's Forum. The role of the Shepherd is more focused on the sermon on the pulpit at the Sunday service.

Youth Political Participation in Conventional Forms in Albania 2011-2021

Looking into the conventional forms of political participation in Albania, this paper analyzes the level of political decision-making participation of youth in this country in the period 2011-2021. The main focus is mapping the level of engagement of young Albanians into conventional politics, such as in the main political parties of Albania (Socialist Party, Democratic Party and Socialist Movement for Integration), youth forums, parliament, local and central government bodies. The result shows that has been a slight improvement in numbers and quality of youth in traditional politic, in terms of youth leader election, political activities and some presence of the young politicians in key political bodies of political parties and governance. The paper concludes that this positive inclination is still low in percentage compared to the old politicians in political leading positions, decision-making positions and in main political parties’ structure. The low level of participation of young people in politics hinders them from the proactive role and their involvement in the traditional political structure of the country.

Global Youth Engagement in Promoting Community Empowerment in Indonesian Geoparks Development: Prospects and Challenges for Indonesia Geopark Youth Forum

Geoparks are a fairly new concept, raising to popularity only around the very end of the twentieth century with the formation of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Global Geoparks Network (UNESCO GGN). Indonesia currently has six geoparks designated as UNESCO Global Geoparks, as well as fifteen national geoparks and several aspiring geoparks. The National Committee for Indonesain Geoparks which is headed by three coordinating ministries and three technical ministries with twelve other ministries and agencies as members of the committee has identified that youths hold a critical role in the development of geoparks in Indonesia. This was stated clearly in the National Action Plan for Indonesian Geoparks in Ministry of National Development Planning No. 15/2020. In 2021 the Ministry for National Development Planning sought out to realize this by forming the Indonesian Geopark Youth Forum, a youth-led organisation where representatives of Indonesian geoparks help actualize the development of Indonesian geoparks and their local communities. As IGYF continues to develop in its infancy with the hosting of the 1st UNESCO Geopark Youth Forum in Jeju Island, South Korea resulting in the election of Indonesia as the host country and chairman for the UNESCO Geopark Youth Forum for 2021-2023, the author in this paper attempts to give an analysis of the role that IGYF has as a new actor catalyst in the sustainable development of communities in the geopark areas through the unique approach that geoparks have, with great focus on community empowerment as the foundation for the development of the three pillars of geoparks; education, conservation, and sustainable economic development.

Re-defining and tackling the emerging challenges in stem cell research and translation: A report of the 10th CSSCR annual meeting.

The 10th congress of the Chinese Society for Stem Cell Research was held from 11 to 13 October 2020 at Guiyang International Eco‐Conference Center in Guizhou (Southwest China) with 700 offline participants (and 500 online participants). With a theme adopted from a poem by Mao Zedong during the long march, ‘However difficult it might appear; the challenges will be overcome’, the congress provided opportunities for the fast‐growing field to exchange ideas among people from academia, industry and regulatory authorities, to help accelerate translation. Eight plenary lectures and six concurrent sessions on cell fate decision, stem cell metabolism, neural stem cells and neural regeneration, organoids and disease models, tissue and organ regeneration and clinical translation of stem cell research were covered, including 77 oral presentations and 75 poster presentations. The congress also included special programmes of a youth forum, a lecture award programme, a flagship journal forum and a dedicated networking session. This 3‐day event will significantly boost the stem cell research in an era closing to application.

ПАТРИОТОМ БЫТЬ ОБЯЗАН? (Об отношении к событиям и фактам истории Великой Отечественной войны современных российских студентов и соотечественников, проживающих за рубежом: сопоставительный анализ)

Many Russian researchers often associate the phenomenon of patriotism with knowledge of Russian history and attitude to the events of the Great Patriotic War. In currently conditions, it is especially important to form the historical memory of youth, their understanding of the meaning and significance of the Great Victory, pride in the generation of winners. The article examines the attitude of modern Russian students and compatriots living abroad at the present historical stage to the events and facts of the history of the Great Patriotic War. The results of a sociological study carried out as part of the implementation of the International Youth Forum of Russian Compatriots in July–August 2021 are presented. It was attended by 60 students of Russian universities, as well as 100 of our young compatriots from 46 countries of the world. To collect primary information, a questionnaire method was used — an online survey using a Google form. In the course of the research, a comparative analysis of what the cultural and historical memory of two social groups — students and compatriots — preserves were carried out, similarities and differences in assessments and opinions were highlighted. The obtained data allowed the authors to draw conclusions about the conditions of formation of historical memory of the Great Patriotic War in the process of socialization of young people, about the influence of agents of primary and secondary socialization, about the change in the vector of formation of historical and cultural memory towards family, personal, etc. It is necessary to develop a new comprehensive approach to the patriotic education of young people, which would take into account the realities of today.

Effective strategies for testicular torsion education in adolescents: A qualitative study in educational environments

Objective: In the context of testicular torsion, research demonstrates a delay from the onset of testicular pain to attending hospital in adolescents, leading to high rates of testicular loss. This is due to a lack of knowledge about this condition. In this study, we aimed to investigate the methods adolescents and their parents felt would be effective in testicular torsion education. Design: Qualitative semi-structured interviews and focus group workshops were used to generate ideas and opinions regarding the ‘ideal’ education package for testicular torsion. Setting: One-to-one interviews with young men and a chosen chaperone recruited through purposive sampling from after-school clubs. Focus groups recruited from an active hospital youth forum. Method: Qualitative data analysis was undertaken to explore collective and normative views and to validate findings using a combination of thematic framework, and descriptive and content analysis. Results: In all, 16 young men aged 11–19 years with an attending chaperone were interviewed. Forty-four young people of both sexes participated in focus groups. Participants in all groups supported school-based teaching about testicular torsion, with focus group members mentioning Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) as the preferred setting. Members of all groups also advocated the use of video, but tone was a matter of debate. Reservations were expressed regarding the use of social and online media as primary means of dissemination but saw these as useful adjuncts to formal school lessons. Focus group members were supportive of teaching in a mixed sex environment and for repeat lessons at 11 and 13 years of age. Conclusion: Study findings support the development and use of PSHE teaching, using video methodology, to promote knowledge about testicular torsion in boys and young men. An evidence-based intervention to improve outcomes in testicular torsion for this cohort can now be developed.
