The regulation of geoengineering technologies: the case study of cloud seeding
Authors: Protásio Manuel
Published: May 2022

Climate Change is not a foreseeable future anymore but a glooming present to which laws must react, rather than just prevent it from happening. The current legal framework in the European Union still reflects a preventive and precautionary approach towards the environment and specifically the challenges of Climate Change. This article argues that this preventive approach, based on a strong interpretation of the precautionary principle, hinders the research and development of technologies that can be used to mitigate the current and future effects of Climate Change. Using the case study of cloud seeding, the present paper demonstrates how geoengineering technologies can be seen as cost-effective measures to prevent environmental degradation from Climate Change and how the lack of scientific certainty regarding these technologies should not be a reason to not regulate them.
The Brazilian Federal Supreme Court and the issue of gender ideology in schools
Authors: Hennig Leal Mônia Clarissa , Fardin de Vargas Eliziane
Published: May 2022

On 23 June 2021, the Hungarian President Jánus Áder issued a law which forbids schools and the media from “promoting or portraying” homosexuality or sex reassignment to minors and limits sexual education in schools, a situation similar to that which was verified in Brazil, where a law project with identical purpose is being submitted to the National Congress (the proposition of Bill 246/2019), having also been the subject of municipal regulations, whose constitutionality was questioned in specific actions at the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court (ADPF 457/GO). This article intends to answer the following question: is there a (dis)alignment between the content in the Bill 246/2019 and the foundations used by the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court in the decision of the ADPF 457/GO? For that purpose, the importance of the current gender and sexual diversity approach in the school environment for the protection of sexual and gender minorities, under the perspective of the state duties of protection (Schutzpflicht), resulting from the objective dimension of the fundamental rights will be analysed. Next, the foundations used by the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court in the ADPF 457/GO will be evaluated, as well as the existence (or non-existence) of a difference between the foundations of the Federal Supreme Court and the text of the Bill. It was concluded that there is a difference in the position adopted by the two Powers, because the highest Brazilian Court understands such themes may be developed in the student’s pedagogical formation, while the Bill moves in the direction of sealing references to these themes in the school environment.

Published: May 2022

Background

Protein intake plays an important role in the synthesis and maintenance of skeletal muscles for the prevention of health risks. It is also widely known that physical activity influences muscle function. However, no large-scale studies have examined the relationship between daily dietary habits, especially the timing of protein intake, and daily physical activity.

Objective

The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to investigate how protein intake and composition (involving the 3 major nutrients protein, fat, and carbohydrate) in the 3 traditional meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) are associated with physical activity.

Methods

Using daily dietary data accumulated in the smartphone food log app “Asken” and a web-based cross-sectional survey involving Asken users (N=8458), we analyzed nutrient intake and composition, as well as daily activity levels. As very few individuals skipped breakfast (1102/19,319 responses, 5.7%), we analyzed data for 3 meals per day.

Results

Spearman rank correlation analysis revealed that breakfast and lunch protein intakes had higher positive correlations with daily physical activity among the 3 major macronutrients (P<.001). These findings were confirmed by multivariate logistic regression analysis with confounding factors. Moreover, participants with higher protein intake and composition at breakfast or lunch tended to exhibit significantly greater physical activity than those with higher protein intake at dinner (P<.001).

Conclusions

Among the 3 macronutrients, protein intake during breakfast and lunch was closely associated with daily physical activity.
Discussing the Prudence Application of “Essential Facilities Doctrine” in Anti-Data Monopoly Strategies in the Digital Economy Era
Authors: Xia Yijing
Published: May 2022

As one of the most fundamental production elements of the digital economy, data has become a critical factor in determining enterprises’ competitiveness. Consequently, it is highly problematic that data monopolies frequently form in the market. Recognizing the issue, principle fourteen in “Anti-trust Guidelines on Platform Economy (Draft for Comments)” establishes a methodology for regulating data access restrictions. In addition, it reflects on the viral and debatable data monopoly problem by clearly stating that data can be perceived as an “essential facility”. In the study, it is argued that the “Essential Facilities Doctrine” has a high practical significance for regulating vertical monopoly in the traditional economy; however, it should be applied with caution under certain restrictions when dealing with data monopoly.
Modeling Empirical Stock Market Behavior Using a Hybrid Agent-Based Dynamical Systems Model
Authors:   Binghamton University, Cline Daniel A. , Aguinaldo Grant T. ,   Binghamton University, Lemp Christian ,   Binghamton University
Published: May 2022

We describe the development and calibration of a hybrid agent-based dynamical systems model of the stock market that is capable of reproducing empirical market behavior. The model consists of two types of trader agents, fundamentalists and noise traders, as well as an opinion dynamic for the latter (optimistic vs. pessimistic). The trader agents switch types stochastically over time based on simple behavioral rules. A system of ordinary differential equations is used to model the stock price as a function of the states of the trader agents. We show that the model can reproduce key stylized facts (e.g., volatility clustering and fat tails) while providing a behavioral interpretation of how the stock market itself can cause periods of high volatility and large price movements, even when the economic value of the stock grows at a constant rate.

Published: May 2022

Abstract: Accident prevention has been one of the leading areas of research today. Our paper is designed to prevent accidents due to loss of control, drunken driving, and rash driving, using circuitry aided by a microcontroller kit. In our work, braking distance and the distance of the obstacle are taken into consideration along with the speed of the vehicle. The sensor helps in finding the speed of movement of the vehicle and the ultrasonic sensor senses the distance of the object in front. These sensors provide real- time inputs to the microcontroller program. Using sensor the system will sense the speed of the vehicle and with the microcontroller, it will calculate the distance required to bring the vehicle to a complete stop for that speed. Breaking motors is incorporated to activate the brakes thereby achieving automatic breaking procedures. The system helps in conjunction with the driver judgment if the driver doesn’t sense the obstacle and applies the brake at the right time then the microcontroller initiates braking motor to apply the brakes automatically. Our future work deals with incorporating real time brake shoe wear system to provide enhanced feature for the intelligent braking system.  By looking at safety in terms of avoiding accidents in the first place.  And then protecting occupants when a crash is unavoidable.  We can prevent more accidents, save more lives, and reduce insurance and medical costs to society. Intelligent Braking System approach represents a significant shift from the traditional approach to safety, but it is fundamental to achieving the substantial benefit

Published: May 2022

Aim. To review the main mechanisms of functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and to present the materials of an Expert Council, which was held on 10 December 2021 in Moscow.

Key points. The pathogenesis of the most common functional diseases of the gastrointestinal tract — functional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is multifactorial and includes motor disorders of various parts of the gastrointestinal tract, visceral hypersensitivity, changes in the intestinal microbiome, impairment of the permeability of the protective barrier, low-grade inflammation of the gastrointestinal mucosa, etc. This often leads to the prescription of a complex of various medications to such patients, which increases the risk of undesirable drug interactions and side effects. Multitargeted therapy involves the use of drugs that simultaneously affect different pathogenetic links. One of these drugs is Iberogast®, which normalizes gastrointestinal motility and visceral sensitivity, has an anti-inflammatory action and is highly effective in treatment of FD and IBS.

Conclusion. In the treatment of functional gastrointestinal diseases characterized by multifactorial pathogenesis, preference should be given to multi-targeted therapy with the use of drugs that have an effect on its various links.
European Union policy and the use of the normative power regarding cybersecurity
Authors: Kondrotas Lukas
Published: May 2022

La transformación de nuestras sociedades a causa del progreso tecnológico y la expansión de las TIC a escala global ha creado un nuevo ámbito en el cual los estados deben establecer una nueva manera “normal” de relacionarse entre ellos. Para ello, se han adaptado legislaciones a nivel nacional; sin embargo, en el contexto internacional, existen maneras diferentes de interpretar la forma “normal” de relacionarse en este ámbito. La Unión Europea ha creado un marco para su propia ciberseguridad y espera expandir el estado de derecho para progresar hacia un mundo digital seguro. También ha establecido un marco de sanciones para luchar contra las actitudes que van en contra de su punto de vista. Este artículo intenta ver cómo ha afectado esto a los actores más importantes en el mundo de la ciberseguridad: Estados Unidos, Rusia y China. Se ve que los efectos han sido diferentes en cada caso y no son coercitivos para las acciones de los demás estados, pero no por un fracaso de implementación, sino por su propia naturaleza.
Genetic variation in host plant phenology affects microbial assemblages at longitudinal niches of the seedling root after a short residence time

Published: May 2022

The root tip of a plant is highly sensitive to environmental cues and
exerts sensory, chemical and movement responses and has even been
likened to an animal’s brain. Yet, the assemblage of microbes at the
root tip, the controls governing their diversity, the nature of their
recruitment to that particular niche, and their roles in plant
phenotypic function, remain poorly understood. This study investigated
longitudinal niche differentiation of the root-associated microbiome in
chickpeas ( Cicer arietinum L.) and its interactions with both
diverse soil types and host plants with genetic variation in phenology,
from the exterior to the interior of the root. Compared with late
flowering (LF) genotypes, endophyte microbiomes at the apical zone of
the early flowering (EF) host were characterised by greater diversity,
higher compositional similarity to the basal zone, and closely
inhabiting Rhizobacter and Methylotenera across soils.
Additionally, EF genotype secreted a specific composition of metabolites
from the apical zone, with more carboxylates (benzoic acid) and amino
acids (propionic acid) than the LF plant. Our findings demonstrate that
longitudinal differentiation within a seedling root is an essential
feature shaping the root microbiome and indicative of genetic variation
in phenology of host plants.

Published: May 2022

Studies on freshwater meiofauna are still enigmatic. This field of
research is quite Neglected. Publications on this topic are not
increasing as much as the others, showing that there is a certain gap
when it comes to this area. This paper contains a brief review of what
already exists on freshwater meiofauna around the world, focusing on
increasing knowledge on this topic and making it a common study field in
science, surveying the research in this little known area of meiofauna.
For this, the methodology involved a bibliographic survey carried out
from Web of Science (WoS) and SCOPUS bibliographic databases. The search
was performed by title and keywords, highlighting Meiofauna (or
meiobenthos), hyporheic zone (or freshwater). The results showed a
number of 28 documents on freshwater meiofauna around the world, mainly
concentrated in Germany. Based on this, a discussion was present given
these few articles found, highlighting that the lack of researches on
freshwater meiofauna community, its ecology, taxonomy and biology, which
are consequently poorly known what imposes a barrier on new researchers
and researches to emerge in this area and need increase scientific
interest at all. It is hoped that this bibliometric review can be used
as an alert about this area of meiofauna that is so important but at the
same time is neglected, having a very exclusive group of authors and
works, being of extreme importance a direction of research that involve
freshwater meiofauna, increasing publications worldwide.

Published: May 2022

An economical and highly uranium extraction from seawater remains a
crucial task for energy sources and environmental safety. Aiming for
improving the mass transfer rate of uranium from seawater, a new
synthetic strategy was adopted to synthesize 2D-open channel microporous
bio-adsorbent for uranium extraction from seawater. Herein, a vapor
phase modification approach was adopted to graft divinylbenzene(DVB),
and polyacrylonitrile(AN) onto the surfaces of microporous frameworks
via a free radical polymerization method. The post-synthetic
functionalization was carried out by hydrothermal process, where
amidoxime groups are structure-directing agents to trap uranium.
Further, amidoxime groups not only enhanced hydrophilicity but also
adjusts adsorbents pKa. AO-Fc faces minimum interference of competing
ions and achieves a high uranium adsorption capacity of 8.57±0.02 and
409±1 mg/g in seawater and simulated solution. Despite its stable
structure, AO-Fc exhibits a long life span and negligible weight loss
revealed AO-Fc could be applied as a potential adsorbent for
radionuclides

Therefore, this study aims to scrutinize research on the possibilities and challenges with puppets as pedagogical tool in preschool. A systematic review has been conducted of 29 scientific articles. Four areas with opportunities for puppets as pedagogical tool is identified, preschool children’s social skills, communication, subject learning, and play. Furthermore, two areas with challenges, pedagogical and contextual, related to puppets as a pedagogical tool are identified. The discussion highlights both the opportunities and the challenges with puppets as pedagogical tool. Puppets are found to have a potential as a didactic tool in preschool.
«Sølvstrupene er den beste gaven livet har gitt meg etter at jeg ble pensjonist!»1 Korsang i den tredje alder
Authors: Balsnes Anne Haugland
Published: May 2022

All over the western world the population is becoming older. It also becomes healthier. The term “the third age” refers to the elderly in their sixties to eighties who are still healthy and active – in contrast to the so-called “fourth age” where one finds the elderly in need of care. Kilden Performing Arts Center in Kristiansand runs the senior choir Silver Voices for people in the third age. A case study of the choir was conducted with participatory observation, interviews, document analysis and open invitation to submit stories about the choir participation as collection techniques. Based on the material the following research questions were developed: What does it mean for people in the third age to sing in a choir? And how can choral singing be facilitated for people in this phase of life? Theoretical perspectives from brain research, psychology, sociology, as well as the music and health field illuminate the material. The purpose of the study is to acquire knowledge about choral singing in the third age. The results show that choral singing for people in the third age promotes vitality, agency, connectivity, and meaning-making. However, the activity should be specially adapted to the age group to achieve these experiences.
Fortellinger om samsang – fellesskap i og mellom generasjoner
Authors: Vist Torill
Published: May 2022

This article illuminates, analyses, and discusses co-singing as it appears in interviews where the conversation originally revolved around music experience as a mediating tool for emotion knowledge (Vist, 2009). The main research question throughout the analysis was: What emerges about co-singing in ten interviews originally discussing music experience and emotion knowledge? However, going back to the full interview transcriptions, the many narratives on co-singing led to several preliminary findings and necessary analytical encirclements. Hence, the narratives in this article are all somehow related to intergenerational singing. The interview material was originally generated within a hermeneutic-phenomenological tradition, inspired by van Manen (2001) and Giorgi (1975). The new steps of analysis stay close to the interview data, although exploring narrativity to a greater extent in connection with the interview transcripts, the analysis, and the article’s format. What emerges as the main finding is particularly related to the importance of community, in line with Small’s (1998) musicking as well as Malloch and Trevarthen’s (2009) communicative musicality. Furthermore, although the results also include interview narratives from choirs / group singing, most narratives point towards strong experiences from, and deep value in, intergenerational singing within close family relationships. The article also explores the relationship between intergenerational and intercultural singing and challenges a clear definition of co- and intergenerational singing, in particular regarding the importance of individual participants’ vocal contributions.

Published: May 2022

Animals play a key role in many songs for and with children. This is apparent in a review of song repertoire in kindergartens, as well as a number of songbooks analyzed by the authors. The chapter discusses why animal songs are so appealing to both young and old. The songs work as a common repertoire traded from generation to generation and between children in play and binds generations together. The authors analyze textual content, linguistic characteristics and musical structures to look at the socio-cultural contributions of the songs based on the following research question: «What are the characteristics of the animal songs and how do they contribute to socialization in different communities from an early age?» The review and analysis shows how animal songs provide space for socialization, interaction, participation, emotions, community and identification. The actions of the animals and the stories of the songs invite humor and play, bodily expression, wonder and reflection; and they provide experiential life wisdom to young and old.
«Alle Kan Synge»: Sangglæde og social og faglig trivsel i indskolingen via klassekorpædagogik og tolærersystem
Authors: Bonde Lars Ole , Ingerslev Stefan
Published: May 2022

The community singing project Everyone can sing (AKS) is based on the hypothesis that mandatory high-quality “class choir” from grade 0–3 can promote children’s singing and positively affect their social and academic well-being. Since 2018, AKS runs as a prototype project at Herstedøster School (Albertslund, a Copenhagen suburb). 25% of the children have an ethnic background other than Danish, and the school faces challenges related to children’s well-being and academic level. All 0.–3. classes form separate class choirs, with 1–2 hours per week over 4 years (n = 350). A repertoire of familiar and new songs is developed, and classes perform regularly in and out of school. AKS is a collaboration between the local primary school and parish church. The church recruits experienced choir leaders, who co-teach with a class teacher. The aim of AKS is to develop a generalizable, national model. The accompanying research in the prototype phase is based primarily on qualitative data, highlighting the specific class-choir pedagogy and its foundational co-teacher system as independent variable in the forthcoming controlled study of health effects of AKS. The AKS pedagogy is investigated through interviews, (video) observation and log-books. Based on qualitative data only, the chapter provides a preliminary characteristic of the innovative AKS pedagogy.
«Jeg kan ikke bli musikklærer hvis jeg ikke kan synge foran klassen min»:1 Korsang i lærerutdanningen og utvikling av individuell sangtrygghet
Authors: Balsnes Anne Haugland , Jansson Dag
Published: May 2022

Schools play a key role in the development of singing skills and promoting community singing among children and young people. Singing in Norwegian schools has gone from being a stand-alone subject to becoming increasingly marginalized, both in curricula and in actual use. Today’s teacher education barely addresses singing at all. Research shows that the most important reasons why teacher students do not envisage that they will use singing as part of their professional practice is that they have not been taught singing, and therefore lack singing confidence. Furthermore, it seems to be a widespread perception among both teachers and student teachers that being musical and engaging in singing is only for the particularly talented. A common experience, also among teachers, is to be ashamed of one’s voice. This article examines compulsory choral singing as part of a teacher education program for teacher students who have chosen music specialization. The material is based on logs written by two cohorts of teacher students who participated in the program as part of their studies. Wenger’s (1998) theory of community of practice is used as an analytical framework. The article takes the following research question as a point of departure: How can choral singing contribute to the development of teacher students’ individual singing confidence? The purpose of the article is to shed light on how learning in communities of practice, of which choral singing is an example, contributes to competence development and new self-understanding when it comes to singing.

Encountering Semiotic Misdirection in Covid-19 Etiquette Guides
Authors: Alenichev Arsenii
Published: May 2022

This paper examines Global health misdirection unfolding at the semiotic level of Covid-19 related texts and images produced by the World Health Organisation. I argue that such public health materials, claiming neutrality and universal applicability, become multimodal etiquette guides that presume normal bodies and middle-class social environments. I give specific attention to how Covid-19-related materialities, affordances and emotive actants directly contribute to elite-making, stratification and strategic cultivation of shame and embarrassment with regard to Covid-19 etiquette. By tracing such an example of ‘semiotic misdirection’ in global health, I invite STS and adjacent communities to approach the circulation of public health materials as a semiotic practice that creates novel kinds of oddities and stratifications, and to consider the enactment of seemingly neutral and value-free public health rules as morally-charged etiquette.

As the largest archipelagic country in the world with a strategic position and with having alarge wealth of natural resources, Indonesia constitutes a country that has tremendous allure to other countries that have an interest. In order to manage abundant natural resources, of course it must be supported by good Indonesian human resources. This is in line with the policy of the President of the Republic of Indonesia H. Joko Widodo,that the development of human resources constitutes top priority in his government policy for 2019-2024. This priority also in the navy which has motto Jalesveva Jayamahe (in the sea that we are victorious). In order to generate qualified Indonesian human resources in order to build and maintain the sovereignty of the unitary state of the Republic of Indonesia and to implement government policies and Kasal policies, especially in generating officers, of course it can be realized and determined fundamentally by the educational institution system. Therefore, it is necessary to revise these regulations so that later they will be better and can accommodate changes that occur and eliminate existing problems. The purpose of this study is to provide policy authors with tools to understand and predict service behavior as operational and policy requirements change so that the new regulations will be better.

Authors: Sarah Siti , Widodo Widodo , Yusnaldi Yusnaldi
Published: May 2022

The South China Sea is known as the second busiest sea lane in the world after the Suez Canal in Egypt, this area also has an abundance of living creatures and has large oil and natural gas reserves. Because of its potential, the area is still a contest for claims between several countries. Currently, it is known that the United States and China are the largest hegemonic countries in the economic field that are fighting for power in the South China Sea region. Some experts even discussed the possibility of competition that will end with war or military conflict in the 21st century. As a result of this tension, other countries in Southeast Asia which are generally not superpowers have put themselves in a situation that is called a security dilemma. Indonesia is not a claimant country in the South China Sea area but has sovereignty near the area which is Natuna Island. If there is a conflict between the United State and China in the South China Sea area, it will have direct implications for the sovereignty of the Indonesian state in Natuna. To deal with this scenario, Indonesia must prepare its defense forces. In this security dilemma situation, Indonesia is strengthening its military and making alliances with other countries that also do not want conflict or war, Indonesia also trying to balance its power with China and the United States with the balance of power strategy. The aim of this article is to describe whether the balance of power strategy that has been carried out by Indonesia is successful as a deterrence strategy.

In this supplement it is shown that the dependences of the number of path lengths between vertices in the graph (between reviewers) and the number of connections of reviewers for the last few years that were discussed in Bolshakov’s article “On relations in science: the case of the scientific journal editorial board” are subordinate to the known statistical distributions. These data may allow us to draw a conclusion about the scientific journal editorial board’s functioning.

The work reports implementation of the “COVID-19.rf: information against the pandemic” project.

Since 2020, dozens of projects have been implemented to create collections of national COVID-19 publications and populate national COVID-repository platforms.

The Russian project “COVID-19.rf: information against the pandemic” is among them. The following tasks were realized during the development of the COVID-19.rf repository: the program software to create and populate the project platform; automated data exchange with previously created Russian platforms; monitoring global citation indexes: Web of Science, Scopus, Dimensions and the Lens and automatic population of the created platform: possibility for access and downloading the project data via API under the OAI PMH protocol; project advancement and user training; indexing of the project content on the international integrator platforms: CORE, OpenAire: COVID-19 Open Research Gateway and Google Academy.

As a result, algorithms and technical implementation of automatically replenishing of repositories within the legal framework of publishers’ license have been developed.

By the beginning of 2022, metadata about 7380 Russian COVID publications were uploaded to the project platform, 3923 articles being in full text. These indicators put the Russian project on a par with the largest national projects such as of the Great Britain, Spain and Brazil.
Les nouveaux masques de l’extrême droite. Libro de Llorca, R.
Authors: Urteaga Eguzki
Published: May 2022

En su último libro, Les nouveaux masques de l’extrême droite, Raphaël Llorca analiza la extrema derecha en Francia, encarnada por Marine Le Pen y Eric Zemmour en las elecciones presidenciales de 2022, a través de la noción de la máscara que, a la vez, esconde y enseña. Esta metáfora permite al autor caracterizar el posicionamiento, el discurso y la simbología utilizada por los candidatos de extrema derecha. Incidiendo en la necesidad de privilegiar una perspectiva sistémica, permite comprender la interdependencia e interacción entre los diferentes candidatos y su evolución a lo largo de la campaña electoral.
Fake online review recognition algorithm and optimisation research based on deep learning
Authors: Hou Jiani , Zhu Aimin
Published: May 2022

With the rapid development of the e-commerce industry, online reviews of goods are a great help for consumers to make decisions. With the sharp increase in online order for goods and the explosion of product reviews, some merchants began to hire consumers to make fake purchases for profit, which led to the problem of identifying fake reviews. In this paper, we propose a method that uses feature engineering to eliminate the comments of false reviewers and combines convolutional neural network and recurrent neural network to classify and recognise reviews from the perspective of text. Traditional neural network models such as CNN, LSTM and BILSTM are compared with the hybrid model proposed by the text. The model is optimised by pre-training on the Baidu Baike commodity review database instead of the initial randomising word vector. The experimental results show that the combination of convolutional neural network and recurrent neural network can better extract the global and local features of false comments, and the model has a good effect. The updating of the pre-trained word vector makes the recognition effect of each model better.
Validity and reliability analysis of the Chinese version of planned happenstance career inventory based on mathematical statistics
Authors: Si Shoujing , Ding Hui
Published: May 2022

To revise the Chinese version of Planned Happenstance Career Inventory (PHCI), a total of 1161 college students were recruited in the study, among whom 327 were used for item analysis and exploratory factor analysis (EFA), 568 for further confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and internal consistency reliability analysis, and 266 were retested after a four-week interval for test-retest reliability analysis. Occupational Development Contingency Scale (ODCS), CAAS-China were chosen as the criterion-related indication. The scale consisted of 20 items, and the EFA produced five factors, which accumulatively explained the variance of total variance by 58.15%. The CFA showed that the 5-factor model fits well. The internal consistency reliability of sample measurement was 0.862, retest reliability coefficients was 0.871, and the split-half reliability coefficients was 0.733. The Chinese version of PHCI has acceptable reliability and validity and can be used to measure career planning for Chinese college students.
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Perpetuate Inequality: How Domination Systems Co-opt Even the Best of Intentions
Authors: Lopez Ana Cecilia
Published: May 2022

Riane Eisler frames the social realities of individuals through a domination-partnership continuum, and Johan Galtung studies peace through the development of systems of violence — direct, cultural, and structural — in perpetuation of domination. In this paper, I argue that a synthesis of both systems helps us understand inequality and racism in the United States. As such, I propose narrating U.S. history as a system of capital extraction and production, locating it within the domination/partnership continuum and enforced by systems of violence. Through this narration and location, I identify law as a tool that transforms imagined social constructions and converts them into social realities that support systems of domination. Specifically, I propose that given the U.S. history of domination, attempts to implement Equity, Diversity and Inclusion strategies result in racial capitalism and perpetuate domination systems. Therefore, the undertaking of equity and inclusion requires a multi-disciplinary approach to reset the legal system and enforcement of justice grounded in values of healing and care.
Community Partnerships: Training Case Managers Working with Individuals Experiencing Chronic Homelessness
Authors: Finn-Romero Deborah
Published: May 2022

Background: Homelessness is a chronic problem across the United States, with approximately 25% of homeless people located in California. In 2012, the United States Interagency Council to end Homelessness developed guidelines to implement Housing First initiatives and training for case managers. Launched in February 2017, Sacramento’s Flexible Supportive Rehousing Program, a permanent Housing First initiative, was adapted from Los Angeles County’s Housing for Health.
Methods: A comprehensive training academy for case managers working with individuals experiencing chronic homelessness was developed, implemented, and evaluated. Goals were to improve case managers’ ability to keep clients in housing, and to improve health outcomes as indicated by the Social Determinants of Health.
Results: Knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSA) objectives were provided for each training module. Case managers demonstrated knowledge and skills acquisition by presenting case studies following a provided rubric. Attitude changes were assessed using an adaptation of a validated tool. Evaluation of progress toward longer-term goals is ongoing.
