Стаття присвячена виявленню рівня взаємозалежності між чотирма характеристиками – рівнем очікуваної дохідності, рівнем ризику та ESG-рейтингом (оцінкою) й кількістю цілей сталого розвитку, на яких фокусується обраних компаній. Шляхом проведення кореляційного аналізу розраховано, що наявна дуже слабка від’ємна кореляція між рівнем ризику та очікуваної дохідності та між рівнем очікуваної дохідності та кількістю цілей сталого розвитку. Між рівнем ризику та ESG-рейтингом (оцінкою), а також між рівнем очікуваної дохідності та ESG-рейтингом (оцінкою) присутня слабка від’ємна кореляція. Також присутня від’ємна, але помірна кореляція між рівнем ризику та кількістю цілей сталого розвитку. На противагу, лише між ESG-рейтингом (оцінкою) та кількістю цілей сталого розвитку присутня помірна позитивна кореляція.

Tweeting about a revolution? A cross-national analysis of tweets on climate change during the rise of “Fridays for Future”
Authors: Rizzoli Valentina , Salvador Casara Bruno Gabriel , Sarrica Mauro
Published: September 2024

In 2018, thanks to the use of social media, the Fridays for Future (FFF) movement brought global attention to climate change. However, in the post-Covid era, the rhetoric of a return to normality seems to have marginalized those issues from the media debate. Looking at the emergence of FFF, the paper applies topic detection to analyze 19,112 tweets on climate change. The emerging contents of social representations are examined in relation to sociocultural (power distance; individualism; uncertainty avoidance; long-term orientation) and structural (level of pollution) factors associated with the country of origin of the tweets. The primary topic among those identified focuses on calls to action, particularly related to the FFF movement. When this topic is absent, others address efforts to mitigate global warming or strategies for adapting to climate change impacts. The main results indicate that tweets from the most polluted countries and from countries high in short-term orientation are more centered on topics concerning a posteriori response to climate change, also denying it as a defense mechanism. This could prevent imagining alternative futures and the projection of concrete means of countering climate change. The study suggests the importance of transcending the on-line and off-line distinction, not only for mobilization but also to form an arena for debate toward social change.
Profit motives, environmental motives, and perceived corporate greenwashing revisited: A replication and extension of de Vries et al. (2015)
Authors: Løhre Erik , Høstaker Markus , Hoprekstad Øystein Løvik
Published: September 2024

As the climate change crisis has become more evident, a growing number of businesses and organizations have gotten involved in sustainability efforts. But not all corporate sustainability efforts are applauded: sometimes the public accuses companies of greenwashing, i.e., overstating the extent to which the company is environmentally friendly. There is little research on the factors that influence perceived greenwashing amongst the public. Here, we report a replication and extension of one of the few studies of this topic, Experiment 2 in de Vries et al. (2015, https://doi.org/10.1002/csr.1327). The original study found that people perceived more greenwashing when an oil company communicated an environmental motive for a sustainability investment (carbon capture and storage), as opposed to a profit motive, d = 0.98 [0.37, 1.59]. The present pre-registered replication (n = 516) did not find support for this effect, with very little difference in perceived greenwashing depending on communicated motive, d = -0.09 [-0.38, 0.21]. As extensions, we included a condition where a mixed motive (both environment and profits) was communicated, tested the effect using a different type of company than the original, included a measure of general attitudes to the company in addition to perceived greenwashing, and included measures of individual differences in attitudes towards corporate social responsibility and belief in climate change. The most noteworthy exploratory finding was that attitudes were more positive when an environmental or a mixed motive was communicated rather than a profit motive.

Románia partiumi megyéinek munkaerőpiaci sajátosságai
Authors: Szilágyi Ferenc , Fogarasi József
Published: September 2024

A vizsgált megyék Románia észak-nyugati részén, az Európai Unió belső határán helyezkednek el és Románia gazdasági félperifiáriáját alkotják, ugyanakkor többnyelvű határrégióként jelentős mértékben vették ki a részüket a munkaképes korú népesség kibocsájtásában. A EU irányába zajló munkaerővándorlást precízen követni meglehetősen nehéz, az elvándorló népesség jellemzően nem jelentkezik ki a romániai lakcíméről, a népességi statisztikákban csak elenyésző arányban tudják ezt a folyamatot kimutatni. A ténylegestől eltérő elméleti népességszámmal kifejezett fajlagos társadalmi-gazdasági mutatókat ugyanakkor alapvetően befolyásolják ezek az eltérések. Tanulmányunkban az öt partiumi megye munkaerőpiaci helyzetét vizsgáljuk az évezred második (válság-) évtizedének változásaira fókuszálva. Vizsgálatunk eredményei rámutatnak a földrajzi elhelyezkedés felemás hatásaira. A nyugati peremhelyzet a kapufunkció révén részben kedvezően hat a partiumi munkaerőpiacra, más tekintetben viszont a (fél-)periféria jelleg domborodik ki (gazdaságirányítási és tudásintenzív ágazatok alacsonyabb, a feldolgozóipar és a szállítás országosnál magasabb aránya). A kedvező hatások a fő szállítási útvonalak mentén jelentkeznek, a vizsgált régió kettészakad: a déli részen Bihar és Arad a centrum megyékhez való felzárkózás erőteljes jeleit mutatja a munkaerőpiac mutatói alapján, viszont a három északi megye (Szatmár, Szilágy, Máramaros) teljesítménye sokkal visszafogottabb.

Published: September 2024

This research, titled "Women's Language Features of Environmental Business Journalist Esha Chhabra Video on TED YouTube Channel," aims to identify the characteristics of women's language used by Esha Chhabra. The data was collected from her spoken words in the video. The study identified 41 instances of women's language features, including lexical hedges, tag questions, rising intonation, empty adjectives, intensifiers, hypercorrect grammar, super polite forms, and emphatic stress. The most frequently used feature was the intensifier, which the speaker employed to reinforce her statements and persuade the audience. While the least encountered features are tag question, hypercorrect grammar, and emphatic stress. Notably, two features—precise color terms and strong swears words—was absent. This absence is attributed to the video's business context, where strong swear words are inappropriate, and precise color terms are unnecessary. This research contributes to understanding how women's language features are utilized in professional and public speaking contexts.

El siguiente trabajo pretende indagar y analizar la emergencia y resignificación de ciertos sujetos y prácticas en la educación secundaria pública durante el periodo de pandemia (2020-2021) en la provincia de Mendoza. Para esto, se analizan documentos oficiales y de políticas educativas emitidos en el periodo de pandemia, a nivel nacional y provincial y que tuvieron como destinatario al nivel secundario del sector público. El material empírico se compone de resoluciones, documentos y circulares publicados entre marzo del 2020 y diciembre de 2021, producidos por el Consejo Federal de Educación (CFE); el Ministerio de Educación (ME); la Dirección General de Escuelas (DGE) de Mendoza y los gremios docentes.
Se parte del supuesto de que las políticas públicas educativas son fundamentalmente prácticas discursivas provisorias (Laclau y Mouffe, [1985] 2004) que buscan articular significantes que son siempre parciales. Por ello, se exploran en dichos documentos las fijaciones parciales de ciertas significaciones a determinados significantes, a partir de las cuales emergen posiciones de sujetos específicas; que a su vez determinan prácticas particulares. Estas fijaciones se asientan en dos equivalencias discursivas que dan sostén y sentido a dichas emergencias durante la pandemia: la de educación como acceso; y la de vínculo pedagógico como conexión.
Sobre esas equivalencias, se fueron se articularon determinados significantes que dieron como resultado sujetos y prácticas establecidos desde criterios diferentes: epidemiológicos y pedagógicos. Mostraremos además cómo el G.E.M. (Sistema de Gestión Educativa Mendoza) se constituyó por excelencia en el dispositivo principal de control educativo, en tanto punto de intersección omnímodo, ya que no solo reguló, sino que contribuyó a estas emergencias que antes no habían sido consideradas dentro del sistema educativo mendocino y que devinieron en sujetos computables o no computables.

The efficiency of DNA integrity repair processes after radiation exposure may depend on hereditary variations of repair genes caused by single nucleotide polymorphisms. Disturbances or even failure of repair processes trigger a chain of reactions leading to genome instability and oncogenic transformation of the cell. Purpose: To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphism in genes of nucleotide excision repair (ERCC2 rs13181, XPC rs2228001), AP site repair (APEX rs1130409), homologous recombination (XRCC3 rs861539), single-strand DNA break repair (XRCC1 rs25487), and double-strand DNA break repair (PARP rs1136410, XRCC4 rs2075685) with the risk of malignant neoplasm development of various localisations in chronically exposed persons. Material and methods: The study was conducted in 861 individuals who were exposed to chronic low dose rate radiation. 274 people of which had malignant neoplasms (MN) of various localisations and 587 people made up the comparison group (exposed persons without MN). The mean accumulated dose to red bone marrow (RBM) in the group of people with MN was 561.65±25.31 mGy, while in the comparison group it was 543.14±36.06 mGy. Genotyping of polymorphic loci rs13181, rs2228001, rs1130409, rs861539, rs25487, rs1136410, and rs2075685 was performed by real-time PCR. The association of polymorphic loci with the risk of MN development was determined by the odds ratio (OR) and 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI). A multifactor dimensionality reduction method was used to assess intergenic interactions. Results: Single-stranded DNA break repair gene rs25487 (XRCC1) polymorphism in accordance with the dominant model is associated with an increased risk of MN development in the combined group of the examined persons (OR=1.79 (1.12‒2.87), p=0.01). The polymorphism of the gene involved in homologous recombination rs861539 (XRCC3) in accordance with the recessive model is associated with a reduced risk of MN development both in the combined group of exposed persons (OR = 0.25 (0.15‒0.41; p<0.00001), and separately in the group of the Slavs (OR = 0.28 (0.13‒0.60); p<0.0001) and in the group of the Turks (OR = 0.22 (0.11‒0.44; p<0.0001). The model of interfactorial interactions allowed us to establish a protective effect with respect to the risk of MN development in carriers of polymorphic loci rs861539 of XRCC3 gene and rs1130409 of APEX1 gene (p<0.001).

Purpose: To conduct a pilot study on the quantity of regulatory T-cells (Treg) in the peripheral blood and to assess transcriptional activity of FOXP3 gene in chronically exposed persons. Material and methods: The study included 77 participants who were divided into two groups: exposed people – 45 individuals, with an average accumulated dose to red bone marrow (RBM) of 641.21±80.41 mGy, and a comparison group – 32 individuals, with an average accumulated RBM dose of 20.38±2.51 mGy. The study on the assessment of FOXP3 gene expression was conducted on 298 individuals: the irradiated group consisted of 163 individuals with an average accumulated dose to RBM of 702±43.10 mGy; the comparison group included 135 individuals with an average accumulated dose to RBM of 17.30±1.40 mGy. The study groups did not differ significantly by age, sex and ethnicity. Quantitative assessment of regulatory T-cells in the peripheral blood was performed using flow cytometry method by the presence of T-helper markers CD3 and CD4, high expression of marker CD25 and low expression of marker CD127. Thus, the phenotype of T-regulatory lymphocytes was described as CD3+CD4+CD25highCD127low. The relative mRNA content of the FOXP3 gene was assessed by PCR-RT. Results: More than 70 years after the onset of chronic radiation, no statistically significant changes in the pool of regulatory T-cells were detected in the exposed persons: the content of absolute and relative amount of Treg did not differ statistically significantly between the studied groups (p=0.91 and p=0.29, respectively); no statistically significant relationship of Treg indices with the accumulated doses to RBM and thymus and peripheral lymphoid organs were found. No statistically significant differences in FOXP3 gene mRNA expression were found between exposed individuals and the comparison group. A linear positive dependence of FOXP3 gene mRNA expression on the relative number of regulatory T-cells was shown (p=0.007).

Authors: Gulfishan Shabnam , Ahmed Syed Suhail , Reddy Pathakota Krishnanjeya , Krishnan Preethi , B Reddy Aravinda , Fazal Ibrahim
Published: September 2024

Background: Periodontitis is an inflammatory reaction to subgingival pathogenic microorganisms that causes gradual deterioration of the gingiva, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. Interleukin (IL)-21 is the most recently found member of type I cytokine family that is upregulated during inflammation. The current study aims to investigate the biological plausibility of IL-21 as a biomarker for chronic periodontitis.
Materials and methods: This cross-sectional clinico-biochemical investigation included 15 systemically healthy, 15 periodontally healthy, 15 chronic gingivitis, and 15 chronic periodontitis subjects aged 25 to 60 years. Following subject enrollment, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and blood samples were then taken from each subject. The concentration of IL-21 in all samples was determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. The data was examined using the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Spearman correlation test.
Results: Serum IL-21 levels in chronic periodontitis patients were substantially greater than in periodontally healthy individuals. GCF IL-21 levels were substantially greater in gingivitis and chronic periodontitis patients compared to periodontally healthy individuals. In terms of clinical indicators, serum IL-21 levels correlated significantly with bleeding index (BI) in the chronic periodontitis group. In chronic periodontitis group, disease severity as evaluated by probing pocket depth (PPD) and clinical attachment loss (CAL) did not correlate with serum or GCF IL-21 levels.
Conclusion: According to the current study’s findings, periodontally involved patients had higher IL-21 levels than periodontally healthy patients, suggesting it can be used as biomarker. Further studies with larger sample size can shed more light on the clinical advantage of IL-21 as a possible marker for disease activity and progression.

Authors: Paiva Rafael da Silva
Published: September 2024

Com o aumento populacional é gerado diversas demandas por recursos naturais, causando modificações ambientais que afetam a paisagem de Altamira que sofreu um alto impulso populacional e migratório com a construção da rodovia Transamazônica (BR 230). Diante do exposto, o presente estudo visou realizar uma análise comparativa do desmatamento no município de Altamira por meio do MapBiomas alerta. O município de Altamira está localizado no oeste do estado do Pará. A partir do projeto do MapBiomas alerta é possível exportar os dados sobre as áreas desmatadas sendo possível analisar a evolução por ano dessas áreas o que auxilia para a comparação entre os anos de maior e menores índices de desmatamento. As análises realizadas mostram o aumento das áreas desmatadas no município de Altamira. No ano de 2021 houve o maior número de áreas desmatadas correspondente a 74.612,0 por área. No entanto, no ano de 2022 houve uma redução das áreas desmatadas o que mostra a importância de gerar esses alertas. No ano de 2019 a área desmatada foi de 56.484,1. Em 2020 o número subiu para 62.221,1. O que fez com o município ficasse em primeiro lugar dos 10 municípios do Brasil com maiores áreas desmatadas. Este estudo revela o aumento considerável nos últimos anos de áreas desmatadas no município de Altamira o que mostra que medidas devem ser tomadas para minimizar esses danos uma vez que isto afeta a biodiversidade pois, com a retirada da cobertura vegetal ocorre um desequilíbrio na fauna e flora comprometendo o desaparecimento de espécies.

Recuperação incompleta e tardia da perda súbita do olfato na COVID-19
Authors: Ritter Marianne
Published: September 2024

A pesquisa aborda os mecanismos fisiopatológicos, impactos psicossociais, métodos de diagnóstico, intervenções terapêuticas e fatores que influenciam a recuperação da função olfativa. A anosmia na COVID-19 é causada pela infecção das células sustentaculares no epitélio olfatório pelo SARS-CoV-2, resultando em inflamação local e disfunção dos neurônios olfativos. A prevalência da anosmia é alta, com recuperação variada entre os pacientes. Métodos de diagnóstico incluem testes de identificação de odores e auto-relatos. Intervenções terapêuticas como o treinamento olfativo e o uso de corticosteroides têm mostrado resultados promissores, embora a eficácia varie. O impacto psicossocial da anosmia é significativo, afetando a qualidade de vida, saúde mental e interações sociais dos pacientes. O artigo enfatiza a necessidade de diagnósticos precoces e intervenções personalizadas para melhorar os resultados de recuperação. Estudos longitudinais e pesquisas sobre biomarcadores são necessários para aprimorar as estratégias terapêuticas e entender melhor os mecanismos de recuperação. Conclui-se que a anosmia, embora frequentemente temporária, pode ser debilitante, requerendo atenção médica e psicológica contínua.

Objetivo: analisar a concepção dos profissionais de saúde que atuam em UTI adulto sobre a visita aberta a luz da Política Nacional de Humanização (PNH) do SUS. Metodologia: estudo qualitativo, exploratório e descritivo, operacionalizado através da técnica de amostragem snowball e de entrevista semiestruturada, conforme traz Minayo. Foram entrevistados 13 profissionais de saúde atuantes em UTI adulto de um município baiano. Resultados e discussão: Através da análise das concepções dos profissionais evidenciou-se questões relevantes sobre a temática, como a percepção por parte dos profissionais da presença da família na UTI, o papel desta no tratamento do paciente, limites para implementação da proposta da UTI, bem como, a relação equipe-família. Considerações finais: Foi percebido que o conhecimento e a compreensão sobre a proposta da PNH ainda é algo distante da realidade de atuação profissional em UTI, parte disso se deve a dificultadores como, por exemplo, a falta de infraestrutura dos hospitais que contribui para a manutenção de práticas cristalizadas de cuidado em saúde, entre outros fatores. Assim, percebe-se a necessidade de mudança nos processos de produção de saúde de modo que estejam consonantes com os conceitos de clínica ampliada e ambiência da PNH, promovendo desconstrução de verticalidades nos processos de trabalho e gerando maior autonomia dos usuários e controle social no SUS.

A monitoria acadêmica é um mecanismo de ensino-aprendizagem para auxiliar a produção e compreensão do conhecimento universitário, desempenhando atividades pedagógicas e científicas em educação. A participação em programas de monitoria no ensino superior, ao longo dos anos, tornou-se fortemente presente na graduação, em que é notável a importância do programa no país rumo à docência como escolha de carreira, proferindo a oportunidade do aluno reconhecer-se na área desde o princípio na carreira escolhida. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi demonstrar a contribuição do processo de monitoria no curso de farmácia por um relato de experiência. Esse trabalho trata-se de um estudo descritivo, tipo relato de experiência, realizado na Universidade Federal do Amazonas, no período de março a julho de 2021 com a disciplina de Citologia, Histologia e Embriologia de forma remota. Os monitores da disciplina foram responsáveis por acompanhamento das aulas teóricas, auxílio aos docentes, orientações aos discentes, correção de relatórios, plantão para sanar dúvidas, entre outros. Verificou-se que além das dificuldades já estabelecidas no ensino presencial, o período remoto trouxe novos impasses que fez-se necessário um fortalecimento do vínculo entre os discentes e os monitores, bem como com os docentes, dispondo de mais oportunidades para esclarecer e abordar o conteúdo programático de maneira a facilitar a transmissão de conhecimento. Dessa forma, observou-se que a monitoria facilitou o processo de ensino-aprendizagem dos acadêmicos de farmácia na disciplina e o desenvolvimento de habilidades pedagógicas com a conexão entre os discentes e os monitores.

The Alpha and Omega of Process Mining
Authors:   , Stein Dani Vinicius
Published: September 2024

Process mining is a discipline that enables organizations to visualize, analyze, and improve their work processes. To leverage process mining capabilities, an organization first needs to prepare and extract its data in a specific format, the event log. An example of the work involved in event log extraction is the definition of the data sources from which the data will be extracted. Various methodologies and techniques to apply process mining in organizations have been developed, particularly regarding process discovery and analysis. After insights are acquired through these techniques, an organization needs to work towards translating the acquired insights into actual process improvements. However, these methodologies do not provide support in this last, but not least, step. What remains unclear is the work that it takes to go from data within the organization, i.e., before a process mining initiative can start, to process improvements, i.e., translating the results of the initiative into action. Therefore, we study the following main research question:

How effective is process mining in supporting organizations?

We answer this research question in two parts: the alpha and omega of process mining. In part alpha, we systematically identify the variety of manual tasks still involved in event log extraction. We provide a view on the work that it takes to go from data generated by information systems into an event log, to enable process discovery and analysis. After an event log is generated, process mining tools and techniques for process discovery and analysis can be used to acquire insights about the work processes of the organization under scrutiny.

In part omega, we study the diverse space of actions and objects of actions (e.g., update document, increase resource, conduct root-cause analysis, etc.) triggered by process mining insights. This provides a view on the work that it takes to go from the acquired insights to actual process improvements. Moreover, we unveil challenges and specific causes that hinder organizations in effectively adopting process mining to improve their work processes.

Combined, our findings provide researchers and practitioners in the process mining field with a knowledge base to (1) understand the variety of work required for carrying out a process mining initiative and (2) proactively counter challenges that may arise during the course of the initiative.

The Interaction of Gender Identity and Sexual Assault on Campus
Authors: Forsman R. Lane , Erwin Jennifer
Published: September 2024

Sexual violence is a continued and pervasive problem on college campuses. Among 18 – 24-year-old students cisgender females are 3 times more likely to experience sexual violence than other cohorts of females, cisgender males are 5 times more likely to experience sexual violence than members of their cohort who do not attend college, while ¼ of transgender students will experience sexual violence [1-3]. As such, colleges and universities have done a lot of work in recent years to improve the availability of, and access to, prevention and interventions services. However, aside from prevalence rates, there is still a large gap in understanding the needs and experiences of students other than the cisgender female in reference to sexual violence. This lack of understanding contributes to the differential knowledge and perceptions of campus sexual violence service centers by students on campus [4-5].
Daca Recipients During a Pandemic: Mixed Method Study of DACA Recipients who Worked as Essential Workers During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Dubus Nicole
Published: September 2024

Background: This paper highlights the experiences of undocumented immigrants who are participants in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The United States has implemented several policies to address immigration issues, focusing on undocumented immigrants. DACA provides a two-year reprieve from deportation for a select group brought to the U.S. as children before they were 16 years old and have lived continuously in the U.S. since 2007. Nearly half of the 1.2 million DACA-eligible immigrants are essential workers. During the Covid-19 pandemic, essential workers were on the frontlines of exposure. This study examines the emotional experiences of DACA recipients who worked as essential workers during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Methods: This study involved 60 DACA recipients. An anonymous survey was available to self-identified DACA recipients, with 60 completing the survey and 12 participants from the survey agreeing to individual interviews. Data was examined using content analysis to capture DACA recipients’ experiences. The ecological theory was used to understand the influence of various systems on the experiences of the participants.

Results: The 60 DACA-recipient participants survey responses and the 12 individual interviews from the survey participants revealed that their immigration status significantly impacted their lives, causing anxiety and depression. The data shows a layered experience of living with DACA during the Covid-19 pandemic years.
Fear of Crime Among College Students with Disabilities
Authors: Steele Tracey , Twill Sarah E. , Bergdahl Jacqueline
Published: September 2024

This research explores how temporal factors may differentially affect the experiences of students with and without disabilities regarding their fear of criminal victimization. Prior research has found that college students with disabilities have greater fear of crime during the day when compared with students without disabilities. In this research we confirm this finding and expand the practical implications of this reality for campus Disability Service offices. Possible explanatory mechanisms about causes of this difference and the ways in which universities can work to create a campus environment that is conducive to a sense of safety and security for all students are explored.
Rethinking Asset-Building and Community Development: A Community Analysis
Authors: Kelly Diann Cameron
Published: September 2024

Asset-based community development is instrumental in helping disorganized communities develop into sustainable environments for their citizens. The primary building blocks of community development are local assets, which include the skills of local residents, the power of local organizations and associations, and the supportive work of local institutions to form a cohesive structure protecting the community. To assess the assets of one community, we looked at the strengths of one organization that extols a mission to support the health and well-being of families within the community. This article provides a portrait of the identified community and supportive organization and offers key outcomes that speak to the strengths, challenges, opportunities and concerns the organization has as it supports and lends services to the citizens of the community.
Grit, Social Support, and Academic Success of Youth Formerly in Foster Care
Authors: Stevenson Erin , Saulnier Stephanie
Published: September 2024

Youth formerly in foster care (YFFC) often face relational and educational challenges due to their experiences in care. To explore these issues, undergraduates at a 4-year university completed an anonymous survey about their experiences with social support, resilience or grit, and academic challenges. The sample included 47 YFFC student respondents. Compared to other students, YFFC were more likely to be single parents, financially responsible for their family, and to experience very high stress levels. Greater grit and social support ratings were related to higher GPAs among all students, not just YFFC. Recommendations include collaboration between social workers and educators to provide resources that bolster relational and resilience skills for YFFC seeking a college degree.
(Re) Defining Welfare in the Context of the Solidarity Economy
Authors: Matthew Rebecca A.
Published: September 2024

This commentary explores the question of how we do or might define welfare in the context of our world today – a world beset with social, economic, and environmental catastrophe. Therein, I argue that such an endeavor necessitates not only a critical analysis of capitalism, and its related indices (e.g., GDP), but also alternatives thereto. Specifically, the solidarity economy is introduced as a fecund anti- or post-capitalist framework that fosters sustainable human and planetary welfare by centering equity, cooperation, solidarity, democracy, sustainability, and pluralism over power and profit maximization. I conclude by suggesting that reorienting our conceptualization and seeking innovative means to measure and assess human and planetary welfare in the context of the solidarity economy seems an urgent need – and paradigmatic shift – if we are to (re)build a more just and sustainable world.
Social Capacity, Social Innovation and Social Participation as principles of Social Worker Advocacy in support of Sustainable Development
Authors: Sururi Ahmad
Published: September 2024

This commentary aims to encourage the importance of social workers connected to sustainable development through the principles of social advocacy which include social capacity, social innovation and social participation. It is very important to assume that social workers are not only seen by various parties as a profession but as individuals who have competence and concern in carrying out the duties and responsibilities of service and handling social problems, community counselling, community provision and empowerment, encouraging social change and strengthening groups. As stated by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) that the mission of social work is to improve the welfare of society and help fulfil the basic needs of society by paying special attention to vulnerable, oppressed, and poverty-stricken groups. Placing social workers solely as a profession will only create relational gaps and barriers to collaboration in sustainable development. Social workers are individuals who have high professional values, have social capacity, the ability to innovate as well as agents of social participation. Therefore, placing social workers as agents of change in sustainable development is a necessity amid the dynamics and challenges of the current global era.
