Published: October 2024

Métodos como caso-controle são utilizados para a identificação de riscos de surtos de doenças agudas, como intoxicações ou doenças infecciosas. Comumente a causa dessas pequenas epidemias está relacionada à agentes microbiológicos ou toxicológicos, sendo facilmente perceptível o início do surto. Por outro lado, fatores como o agente causador, a via de transmissão ou como a doença se propagou podem não ser tão óbvios, criando a necessidade de uma investigação mais aprofundada. A coleta desses dados é essencial para o controle de futuras epidemias, afinal, ao descobrirmos a via de contaminação, é possível realizar a prevenção corretamente.

O que é causalidade? O termo ‘causalidade’ significa que um evento é o resultado da ocorrência de outro evento. Parece óbvio, mas se adentrarmos na literatura e nos conceitos médicos conseguimos entender como esse conceito simples tornou-se um pilar na produção de pesquisas científicas. Nesse sentido, segundo Rothman & Greenland (1998), uma causalidade é caracterizada como qualquer evento ou condição com função essencial na ocorrência de determinada doença. Assim, como um evento pode ser a causa da ocorrência de outro, o contrário também é válido (uma associação não causal). Além disso, o acontecimento de uma doença pode estar associado a mais de uma causalidade, o que ocorre na maioria dos casos, visto que existem inúmeros fatores.
Methods for maintaining the effects of electroconvulsive therapy in depression treatment in various parts of the world
Authors: Nowak Katarzyna , Wingralek Zuzanna , Banaszek Agnieszka , Próchnicki Michał
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is one of the most effective treatments in psychiatry. The aim of this study is to present innovative methods for preventing the recurrence of depression after ECT treatment using continuation ECT (c-ECT), maintenance ECT (m-ECT), and pharmacotherapy, as well as to compare different approaches to the use of these methods across different parts of the world. Materials and methods: A review of the available literature was performed by searching the PubMed and Google Scholar databases using the following keywords: “c-ECT”, “m-ECT”, “continuation electroconvulsive therapy”/”kontynuacja terapii elektrowstrząsowej”, “maintenance electroconvulsive therapy”/”podtrzymująca terapia elektrowstrząsowa”, “major depressive disorder”/”duże zaburzenia depresyjne”, “continuation pharmacotherapy”/”kontynuacja farmakoterapii” for original papers, meta-analyses, and review papers both in Polish and English, published from 1999 to 2023. The SANRA scale was used to maintain the quality of the narrative review. Results: In maintenance treatment, c-ECT and m-ECT achieve effects comparable to those of pharmacological treatment. The most effective method is a combination of pharmacological therapy and c-ECT. c-ECT and m-ECT can reduce the time and cost, and the number of hospitalisations. At the same time, one of the major trends in ECT practice over the past 20 years has been the shift from inpatient to outpatient treatment. Conclusions: c-ECT and m-ECT are underutilised and understudied despite positive clinical experience spanning over 70 years. Although they are used all over the world, there are no specific guidelines or standardised methods for conducting this therapy. Studies that are currently underway should provide recommendations regarding the selection, frequency, and duration of c-ECT and m-ECT.
Shopaholism – aetiology, characteristics, models and concepts of cognitive-behavioural therapy
Authors: Król Aleksandra Katarzyna , Goldman Justyna
Published: October 2024

The article addresses the issue of shopaholism as a disorder, examining its existing definitions and functioning diagnostic criteria within the context of its exclusion from official disease classifications, despite its increasing prevalence and negative impact on the lives of individuals. The study highlights that, although not formally recognised as a disease entity, shopaholism is discussed in scientific literature under various terms, such as compulsive buying, impulsive buying, or shopping addiction, and can be considered a form of behavioural addiction. The article emphasises the complex aetiology of shopaholism, suggesting that it results from a combination of biological, cognitive, emotional, and social factors. The authors also demonstrate from a cognitive-behavioural perspective how core beliefs, values, and self-esteem may contribute to the development and persistence of the disorder. In addition, the article discusses therapeutic approaches including pharmacotherapy and, above all, cognitive-behavioural psychotherapy, which is emerging as a key approach in the treatment of shopaholism, with efficacy proven by numerous studies. This therapy aims at cognitive restructuring to modify negative thoughts, improve impulse control, and foster healthier coping strategies to deal with negative emotions. The article explores the complexity of shopping addiction, drawing on both historical and contemporary cognitive models to conceptualise individual cases and develop effective therapeutic plans. It also highlights proven techniques and methods. By adopting a cognitive-behavioural perspective, mental health professionals can provide patients with a targeted and personalised treatment. From the perspective of treatment, the key challenge is not abstinence but working with beliefs and values, as well as cognitive and behavioural techniques.
¿Qué es propiamente la teología? Reflexión sobre el discurso del cardenal Joseph Ratzinger en la Universidad de Navarra
Authors: Saranyana Josep-Ignasi
Published: October 2024

Joseph Ratzinger pronunció una conferencia en la Universidad de Navarra, el 31 de enero de 1998, en que abordó, desde una perspectiva nueva e inquietante, la pregunta sobre la condición de la ciencia teológica. Sostuvo que tanto la razón especulativa como el decurso histórico constituyen momentos interiores y necesarios del quehacer teológico. De este modo salía al paso de los puntos de vista de Adolf von Harnack. Advertía, sin embargo, el riesgo de que tanto una como otra pudiesen asolar la Palabra y, con ello, la teología. Apelaba, como garantía de seguridad, a la especial asistencia del Espíritu Santo a su Iglesia, porque también la autoridad eclesiástica podía errar en su labor y podía manifestarse arbitrariamente.

Published: October 2024

Este artigo tem por objetivo descrever e interpretar a natureza do fenômeno da formação inicial no Estágio supervisionado de Língua Inglesa 1 da Universidade Federal de Alagoas. Essa pesquisa, com 3 participantes matriculados no 5º período do curso de Letras Inglês durante o primeiro semestre de 2023, foi registrada no relatório final, nos servindo como instrumento da investigação da experiência vivida pelos participantes e interpretada pela perspectiva subjetiva de dois pesquisadores respaldados pela orientação metodológica da Abordagem Hermenêutico-Fenomenológica Complexa (van Manen, 1990; Freire, 2010, 2012, Brauer e Freire 2023) aliada com a visão de formação de professores (Gatti et al, 2019; Schön, 1992; Pérez Gomes, 2002; Contreras, 2002; Ifa, 2006; Nóvoa, 2001; Garcia, 1992) entre tessituras e rupturas da epistemologia da complexidade proposta por Morin (2003, 2010, 2012, 2015). A interpretação desses relatórios revelou a reflexão crítica dos participantes acerca da formação inicial com a identificação do tema conscientização e seus dois subtemas: práxis com sub-subtemas: desmistificação e comprometimento e ensino com seu sub-subtema: posicionamento. A essência do fenômeno está no reconhecimento da importância da reflexão crítico-reflexiva acerca da teoria e prática oriunda de movimentos formativos de provocação e tensão para posicionamento.

Published: October 2024

A formação docente pode potencializar práticas pedagógicas descontextualizadas e planetariamente desconectadas ou favorecer a religação dos conteúdos curriculares com as realidades local e global. Considerando a relevância da segunda alternativa, este estudo teve como objetivo mapear estratégias transdisciplinares e ecoformadoras para a valorização do conhecimento pertinente na formação docente, por meio da comparação entre uma pesquisa desenvolvida com a finalidade de identificar as respectivas estratégias com dois estudos cujos objetivos eram outros. Destaca-se que as três pesquisas analisadas têm em comum a utilização da metodologia dos Projetos Criativos Ecoformadores (PCE) nas intervenções desenvolvidas na Educação Básica. Para isso, foram utilizadas a pesquisa comparativa e a abordagem qualitativa. Identificaram-se estratégias como: 1) o estímulo a atividades que favoreceram a compreensão da realidade local e a ressignificação da prática pedagógica ao vincular ações comprometidas com melhorias dos espaços escolares ao estudo de conteúdos curriculares; 2) a vinculação do desenvolvimento integral com a inclusão dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) no planejamento de ensino; e 3) o uso da metodologia dos PCE para estimular o compromisso com a sustentabilidade.

Published: October 2024

This study provides a better understanding of the role and mechanism of graphene nano-platelets used as a flame-retardant filler in a commercial intumescent acrylic-based formulation. Through thermogravimetric analysis, the morphology and mechanical properties of the char layer as well as the influence of graphene on the expansion ratio and compression force are clarified. The achieved results demonstrate that graphene accelerates the burning of the coating and affects the structure of the char layer. The fire test was carried out in an electric furnace at a temperature of up to 800 °C for our fabricated samples, the swelling images show that the expansion ratio of the graphene-loaded coating is lower than that of the coating without graphene. On the other hand, during the combustion, the speed of air release occurring in a short time also contributes to forming bigger holes in the char layer, so the hardness of the graphene-loaded char layer is lower than that of the char layer without graphene coating.

The ongoing advancement of electrode and electrolyte materials has contributed significantly to enhancing and spreading the application of lithium-ion battery technology. Among the non-precious metal-based materials, perovskites have emerged as attention over the last decade, holding a prominent position in materials and energy. Due to their unique physical and chemical properties, these materials have garnered particular interest for their potential application in electrochemical energy devices. Perovskite oxides have piqued the interest of researchers as potential catalysts in Li-O₂ batteries due to their remarkable electrochemical stability, high electronic and ionic conductivity, and the ability to modify their properties through doping and element substitution. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of recent developments in the application of perovskites as lithium-ion battery materials, including the exploration of novel compositions and structures, optimization of fabrication methods, and a deeper understanding of the fundamental mechanisms that can unveil the potential of perovskite materials.
Kompetencje międzykulturowe nauczyciela religii w zróżnicowanej kulturowo szkole
Authors: Zellma Anna
Published: October 2024

Acquiring and developing multiple professional competences is one of the key responsibilities and challenges of religion teachers. It is part of the core areas of professional development. It is conditioned by the cultural differentiation of the contemporary school. It has its justification in the educational law regulations concerning school education of children of foreigners, national minorities and ethnic minorities. Acquiring and developing intercultural competence requires from teachers of religion both up-to-date knowledge in the field of intercultural education as well as practical skills and appropriate attitudes towards cultural difference. Cooperation with entities involved in the formation of intercultural competences of religion teachers seems to be particularly valuable. In addition to initiatives taken by the staff of catechetical offices and teacher training centres, the activities of non-governmental organizations are also educationally valuable. They require more promotion among religion teachers. Hence, it is worth creating a space for sharing good practices in intercultural education in the teaching of religion.
Teologiczne znaczenie wyrażenia „dar Boży” w pismach św. Elżbiety od Trójcy Świętej
Authors: Wilk Janusz
Published: October 2024

Obdarowanie przez Boga różnymi darami człowieka to jeden z częstszych (ulubionych) tematów, do którego św. Elżbieta od Trójcy Świętej powracała w swoich pismach. Pośród nich najważniejszy jest „dar Boży”, do którego nawiązała dziesięciokrotnie. W artykule zarysowano najpierw zagadnienie „daru Bożego” w Nowym Testamencie. Studium to wyróżniło dwie grupy znaczeniowe tego sformułowania. Pierwsza z nich zawiera teksty rozumiane osobowo, w których darem tym jest Jezus (J 4, 10) lub Duch Święty (Dz 8, 20), a druga eksponuje teksty, w których „dar Boży” interpretowany jest przedmiotowo, jako na stan życia (powołanie) lub jako specjalne zdolności i umiejętności (Rz 6, 23; 11, 29; 2 Tm 1, 6). Rozróżnienie to widoczne jest również w pismach świętej z Dijon. Ośmiokrotnie posługuje się ona wyrażeniem „dar Boży” w rozumieniu osobowych i dwukrotnie w znaczeniu przedmiotowym. Teksty, w których Elżbieta zastosowała to wyrażenie niosą nie tylko konkretny przekaz do adresatów, ale przede wszystkich odsłaniają jej więź z Jezusem jako darem Ojca oraz wdzięczność za dzieło zbawcze Boga i za dary szczegółowe jakimi obdarza człowieka. W duchowości Elżbiety obdarowanie prowadzi do wielbienia Boga.

Published: October 2024

The paper presents a detailed account of the scientific and pedagogical achievements of Viktor Georgievich Odinokov, a renowned Russian literary critic (06.10.1924–08.17.2016). A distinctive characteristic of Odinokov’s research style was his focus on the overarching themes and profound processes of national literature. The scientific and theoretical significance of his monographs lies in their methodology, which progresses from analyzing the poetics of specific literary works to understanding the systematic nature of the literary text as a whole. This approach encompasses the relationship between the writer and the reader, elevating research thought to the level of hermeneutics. Odinokov’s scientific approaches differed significantly from both the dogmatic principles of official Soviet literary criticism, which were grounded in historical materialism and the broad interpretation of the subject matter by the structural-semiotic school. His methodological trajectory from typology to systematicity made a significant contribution to literary methodology and established an original scientific school. Odinokov was one of the initiators and organizers of the publication “Essays on Russian Literature of Siberia,” which was recognized both domestically and internationally as the first study in Russia on the history of regional literature. The works of Victor Georgievich Odinokov, a distinguished literary critic from Siberia, have made a profound contribution to Russian national culture.
Keeper of intangible cultural heritage: the role of grandmothers in the transmission of ethnic language and culture (a case study of sociolinguistic surveys in the Chuvash and Mari diasporas in the Moscow region)
Authors:   The Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kutsaeva Marina V.
Published: October 2024

An essential mechanism for transmitting ethnic language within families involves the transfer from older to younger generations, with grandmothers playing a prominent role in this process. The paper presents the findings of the field research conducted within the Chuvash and Mari internal diasporas of the Moscow region. The study subjects were the first-generation natives of the diaspora urban environment and the second-generation representatives. The findings indicate that intergenerational language transmission is notably weak, mainly because Russian is omnipresent in urban environments and minority languages are marginalized due to prevailing linguistic ideologies. Although being recognized as state languages along with Russian in the relevant administrative-territorial entities, Chuvash and Mari languages do not have this status in the internal diaspora, becoming minority languages. Nevertheless, according to the research results, ethnic language is one of the key markers of ethnic identity necessary for preserving ethnic group boundaries. In the majority of cases, the task of preserving the ethnic language is assigned to grandmothers, the eldest women in the family, who reside in the rural area of their small native land. This model follows the long-existing practice of city dwellers sending their children to the countryside in summer for the latter to learn an ethnic language in the natural environment by communicating with their grandmother. Besides teaching the ethnic language, the grandmother also imparts knowledge about ethnic customs and traditions, such as ethnic cuisine, songs, and elements of folk and religious culture, making her a valuable keeper of intangible cultural heritage.

Consideration is given to the main features of the lexicographic project developed at the Vinogradov Institute of the Russian Language of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It is the second book of the ninth volume of the Dictionary of the language of Russian poetry (20th century). The 2290 entries present the poetic lines from the sources of the Dictionary, the works of ten outstanding poets of the Silver Age: I. Annensky, A. Akhmatova, A. Blok, S. Yesenin, M. Kuzmin, O. Mandelstam, V. Mayakovsky, B. Pasternak, V. Khlebnikov, and M. Tsvetaeva. The review briefly describes the purpose, structure, and content of the Dictionary. Moreover, it delineates the frequency of individual lexemes, exemplifies instances of metaphorization, and establishes correlations with experiences in constructing the composite dictionaries. Dictionary entries provide insights into the history, frequency, and morphology of lyric phraseology in poetry, along with stylistic marks and information on word production and rhyming. The conclusion is made that the Dictionary demonstrates the variety and expressiveness of the language of poetry and the “artistic memory” of its words, enriching the reader’s aesthetic horizons.
Thanatology of F. Sologub: characters-mediums in the early prose (“Consolation”, “Sting of Death”)
Authors:   Novosibirsk State University, Sinyakova Lyudmila N.
Published: October 2024

The paper examines the conceptual relationship between symbolic images of a child and death in the early prose of F. Sologub. Two stories published in the storybook “Sting of Death” (1904) feature contrasting versions of a symbolic image of a medium who guides the main characters on their journey to either heaven or hell. “Consolation” centers on the life of Mitya, a poor teenager who witnesses the tragic death of a young girl. Seeing a sudden death makes Mitya experience visions of the girl’s ghost. The girl’s soul is urging him towards death, regarded as the only means for the unhappy boy to escape from the cruel world. Rayechka, also known as Raya in her post-death manifestations, acts as a guardian angel accompanying Mitya during his final descent onto the pavement. Raya would expose him to a heavenly experience, motivating the courageous protagonist to pursue eternal joy. The story “Sting of Death” unfolds as the protagonist, Kolya, is gradually led towards contemplating suicide by the malevolent influence of Vanya. Vanya despises all living things, including everything vibrant and blooming. His appearance and philosophy both embody a devilish nature. Consequently, both boys succumb to the fatal influence of death magic and die. In conclusion, examining the primary themes of a child and death, as well as the character of the medium who connects these symbolic elements, helps establish their universal significance in Sologub’s literary works.
The prose poem: genre originality, plot and motive repertoire
Authors:   Institute of Philology of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Proskurina Elena N.
Published: October 2024

The research focuses on the prose writings of Russian literature, referred to as “poems” by the writers themselves. The analysis covers a collection that is both compact in number and extensive in terms of time, from “Dead Souls” by N. V. Gogol to “Moscow and Petushki” by Ven. Erofeev. Two characteristics uniting all the works under analysis should be noted. First, all the writings, though having diverse plots, share the epic nature and metaphysical scale of the theme (unique for every writer). Second, a common leitmotif that can be determined as longing for an ideal makes the epic form sound lyrical. It is not the ideal that is emphasized but the longing that translates the external description into an internal action of the character, unfolding from the self to the outside, all this being a characteristic of the lyrical plot. The writers construct their narrative by employing the primary motif of longing for an ideal and its various iterations. They bring forth the poetic essence of these moments portraying life in its highest moments according to the laws governing poetry. The highest moments may appear at opposite poles, such as the rapture of life/love or the rapture of despair/fever of the suffering soul. This research uncovers the motif nests that add a semantic tension, reinforcing the emotional power of the central leitmotif: love/hate towards existence, longing for the ideal, and despair towards the imperfection of the world and man. The prose statement becomes more poetic, shifting towards a high genre.
Genre of the algys good wishes in the context of Khakass family rituals
Authors:   Institute of Philology of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Mindibekova Valentina V.
Published: October 2024

Family rituals are closely connected to important milestones in an individual’s life, such as birth, marriage, and death. In the traditional Khakass culture, ritual poetry plays a significant role. Algys, a ritual of good wishes, is a multifunctional phenomenon in Khakass folklore. People believed in the power of words and were convinced that good wishes could influence human life and promote well-being. The research aim was to study the algys that accompany family rituals. The relevance is due to the lack of modern folklore research addressing traditional rituals. The novelty is in identifying the genre features of good wishes in the Khakass family rituals and ritual poetry. The material for this study includes samples of ritual poetry from recordings by N. F. Katanov, archival materials from the Manuscript Fund of the Khakass Scientific Research Institute of Language, Literature, and History (Abakan), and the Institute of Philology, SB RAS (Novosibirsk). Over one hundred poetic texts of Khakass ritual poetry have been collected, and a file of 80 stable poetic formulas has been compiled. This paper presents the results regarding the genre specificity of algys good wishes in the context of Khakass family rituals. The genre features, poetics, and semantics of good wishes in family rituals have been determined. The abundance of epithets, comparisons, and other poetic devices indicates the artistic development of the investigated poetic style. Stable poetic formulas for making sacrifices to the tayyg fire, spirits-masters of mountains and water have also been identified.

İşgücü Piyasasında Yaşanan Dönüşümler: Standart Dışı İstihdam ve Çalışan Yoksulluğu İlişkisi
Authors: Aykaç Mustafa , Kaya Sefa
Published: October 2024

1970’lerde Fordist üretim sisteminin çöküşü ve akabinde uygulamaya konulan Neoliberal ekonomi politikalarıyla, hem piyasaların serbestleştirilmesi teşvik edilmiş ve hem de devletin piyasalar üzerindeki müdahale gücü ve rolü ideolojik olarak dönüştürülmüştür. Neoliberal politikaların yükselişi ise esnekleştirme ve kuralsızlaştırma şeklinde işgücü piyasasındaki şartları dönüştürmüş ve Standart Dışı İstihdam (SDİ) yaygın bir istihdam biçimi olarak ön plana çıkmıştır. Bu durum literatürde SDİ ve kayıt dışı istihdamın yaygınlaşması, işgücü piyasası bölümlenmesi, içeridekiler-dışardakiler ve ikili işgücü piyasası yaklaşımları ile açıklanmakta ve çalışan yoksul kavramı ile ilişkilendirilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, SDİ ile çalışan yoksulluğu arasındaki ilişkiyi makro ve mikro düzeyde eklektik yaklaşımla analiz etmektir. Bu makalede, SDİ ile çalışan yoksulluğu arasındaki ilişkinin gerçekliğini tasvir etmek için karşılaştırmalı bir yaklaşım benimsenmiş ve içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu makalede çalışan yoksulluğunun, işgücü piyasalarının kutuplaşması ve düşük kaliteli işlerin yaygınlaşması ile ilgili endişeleri artırdığı ve SDİ edilenlerin görece daha yüksek yoksulluk riskine maruz kaldığını ileri sürmektedir. SDİ ile ilgili insan onuruna yaraşır işlerin yetersizliğinin tespit edilmesi ve gerekli düzenlemelerin yapılması önerilmektedir.

El forro es una lengua minoritaria de Santo Tomé y Príncipe (África) que convive con el portugués —lengua hegemónica—, tiene poca presencia social y menos apoyo institucional; lo hablan principalmente los ancianos, quienes sufren una marcada exclusión de la vida social. Este trabajo es el resultado de un proyecto con un doble objetivo: buscar herramientas que permitan mejorar la relación intergeneracional y el bienestar social de los ancianos, y conocer cómo influyen las actividades de transmisión lingüística intergeneracional en la comunidad. El presente estudio de caso se llevó a cabo en la comunidad de Santo Amaro, con la colaboración de una ong de cooperación para el desarrollo. Partiendo de la hipótesis de que el doblaje puede ser una herramienta útil para la unión de diferentes generaciones, se diseñó un taller de doblaje de una animación digital con ancianos y niños de una misma comunidad, y se hizo un análisis cualitativo de los resultados de la actividad. Por un lado, se constataron los beneficios de un taller de doblaje como el propuesto en diferentes aspectos culturales y sociales. Entre los resultados, se destaca que el taller de doblaje permitió visibilizar e impulsar los derechos de los hablantes, así como darles proyección social y romper prejuicios interlingüísticos e intergeneracionales, y la comunidad se benefició del producto de un trabajo colaborativo que puso a su disposición material digital audiovisual de calidad, antes inexistente en esa lengua mi

In the last two decades, foreign language policies in Colombia have prioritized English across the education system, aiming for international competitiveness and educational quality. These policies have sparked concerns among educators, including language stratification, commodification of English for the privileged, adoption of foreign benchmarks, insufficient policy implementation, and limitations of the English-Spanish bilingual model compared to multilingual perspectives. Inspired by critical race theory and decoloniality, this qualitative study examines higher education policies in Colombia, focusing on how they address multilingualism and the country's sociocultural diversity. The study explores language policies related to student access, retention, and graduation; language requirements for faculty; and the promotion of various languages. Data collection involved a documentary analysis, interviews and surveys conducted across 16 universities from different regions of the country. Findings suggest the ongoing pervasiveness of English language-centered ideologies in most participating institutions, the invisibilities these ideologies and associated practices bring about in universities, and some emergent policies aiming at promoting multilingualism. The recommendations emanated from this study could resonate with universities both in Colombia and internationally, particularly those in similar contexts.
Beyond Digital Literacy: Exploring Factors Affecting Digital Performance of University Staff
Authors: Koch Carmen , Fehlmann Fiona
Published: October 2024

Digital literacy is essential but doesn’t guarantee digital performance. Many researchers consider factors such as attitude, cultural environment, or institutional setting in their frameworks when researching digital literacy. Yet, their significance often gets lost in a catalog of required skills and knowledge. Here we develop a model outlining factors influencing university personnel’s digital performance across diverse tasks, and we discuss associated challenges. The model derives from literature and insights from 20 qualitative interviews with academic staff in teaching, research, or consulting roles. Results show that institutional settings and employee empowerment are pivotal in shaping openness to digital tools. Intentions fail due to resource constraints and lack of recognition, leading to limited experience with digital opportunities. Well-being significantly influences willingness to embrace digital resources amidst the balancing act of anticipating future efficiency against investing time and resources. Maintaining a team atmosphere often results in alignment with the least digitally competent. With appropriate conditions, time resources, and support, staff could efficiently utilize digital resources, even with only basic skills, which fosters the integration of all workforces. We argue for comprehensive assessments of university employees’ digital performances, considering context and holistic aspects beyond personal skills and knowledge. Our model encompasses digital literacy, openness to digital developments, digital culture, primary conditions, services/empowerment offerings, and mindfulness.
Trust the People? Populism, Trust, and Support for Direct Democracy
Authors: Wiesehomeier Nina , Ruth-Lovell Saskia P.
Published: October 2024

Populism is commonly understood as a response to frustrations with the functioning of modern democracy, while the use of direct democratic mechanisms has been hailed as a remedy for the ailing of representative democracies. Indeed, populism’s emphasis on direct citizen participation in decision-making is tightly linked to its distrust of representative institutions and the political elite as the cornerstone of mediated representation. Trust, however, matters for any functioning democratic institutional arrangement, and we contend that its role warrants more attention when considering the viability of alternative modes of decision-making such as referendums, particularly in the nexus of populism–democracy. Using original public opinion surveys implemented in Argentina, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Spain, we distinguish among different objects of trust—elites, institutions, “the people,” or the society at large. We also explore citizens’ levels of trust in these objects and their association with institutional designs of direct democracy. Our results offer preliminary insights into the importance of horizontal and vertical trust relationships in shaping procedural preferences for different configurations of direct democracy.
Domesticating Property: Moral Economies of Post‐Socialist Homeownership Through Rental and Neighbour Relations
Authors: Tkach Olga
Published: October 2024

This article analyses property relations in post‐socialism through the analytical lens of housing studies and moral economy, specifically in the context of rental and neighbour relations in urban apartment buildings. It draws on 50 in‐depth residential biographies of residents of St. Petersburg, Russia, collected between 2017 and 2021. The interviews represent a diversity of tenures, as well as direct and indirect voices of homeowners and non‐owners. The article begins by introducing the socio‐historical context of the privatisation and commodification of housing in post‐socialist Russia. Then, based on the stories of the origin of property and the intensity of attachment to it, I analyse owners’ homemaking through daily interactions with other owners and non‐owners who act as their tenants and neighbours. Focusing on privatised, mortgaged, and inherited residential property, I identify three trajectories of complex relationships between owners and non‐owners in urban buildings and modes of homemaking, at the intersection of monetary and non‐monetary relations and imaginaries of counterparts. I argue that despite everyday interactions in the housing market and in apartment blocks, both the owners of privatised Soviet property and new owner‐occupiers tend to avoid the total commercialisation of the home and to challenge the dominance of homeownership as the only socially sanctioned tenure.
