Authors:   The Convergence Tourism Contents Society, Jeong Heon Kyu , Choi Yong Bok
Published: January 2024

Purpose This study aims to identify changes in tourists' perceptions of wellness tourism during the COVID-19 outbreak - spread - recovery through social media big data.
Methods This study divided the study period into four periods: pre-COVID-19, COVID-19 outbreak, COVID-19 spread, and ongoing recovery, and conducted text mining using wellness tourism as a search term on social media. The collected big data were analyzed for keywords using the TF-IDF index, the centrality of keywords was checked through semantic network analysis, and the structural equivalence of keywords was analyzed through CONCOR analysis.
Results The TF-IDF index confirmed that words such as forest, healing, and Jeju increased in importance with the outbreak of COVID-19; while travel, health, experience, and spa decreased in importance with the outbreak of COVID-19. The structural equivalence analysis showed that the important words were divided into general characteristics clusters, local characteristics clusters, public characteristics clusters, and festival/event clusters. With the outbreak of COVID19, there was a noticeable increase in the formation of clusters based on local characteristics compared to prior periods.
Conclusion This study is significant in that it goes beyond a simple comparison before and after the COVID-19 outbreak to a comparative analysis of the recovery period to identify more precise changes in tourists' perceptions. Through this study, it was confirmed that not only the outbreak of COVID-19 but also the ongoing recovery period is changing tourists' perceptions. It is necessary to actively utilize social media in the development and operation of wellness tourism destinations, and to plan and hold more diverse and sustainable wellness festivals and events.
Partijski vrh Hrvatske i tjednik Danas 1982. – 1983. godine
Authors: Marijan Davor
Published: January 2024

Tema rada je tretman političkoga tjednika Danas Predsjedništva Centralnoga komiteta Saveza komunista Hrvatske u prvoj godini njegova izlaženja, tijekom 1982. i 1983. Danas je počeo izlaziti u drugoj polovini veljače 1982., a već pola godine poslije postao je krupan politički problem. Tjednik se pojavio u razdoblju opće krize, s kritičkim, na trenutke i provokativnim pristupom izazvao je okoštalu i ostarjelu partijsku elitu odlučnu da brani svoj nedodirljivi položaj. U vrlo kratkom vremenu ustalio se na nakladi od oko 120.000 prodanih primjeraka, što svjedoči o njegovoj privlačnosti širokoj čitalačkoj populaciji, a s druge strane i utjecaju, što je zapravo zabrinjavalo partijski vrh. Pojavom Danasa počelo je nastajati kritičko javno mnijenje u socijalističkoj Hrvatskoj, što je dotad u većoj mjeri bila značajka Slovenije i Srbije. U obračun s tjednikom partijski vrh krenuo je u ljeto 1982. i privremeno ga je primirio početkom sljedeće godine. To je učinjeno smjenom glavnoga i odgovornoga urednika te dovođenjem novoga s mlađim pomoćnicima koji su bili na službenoj partijskoj liniji. Rezultat promjena bio je i drastičan pad naklade, što je tjednik doslovno svelo na životarenje i marginalan utjecaj.
Effect of Discrimination Perception on Disability Acceptance of Acquired Disability : Focusing on Serial Multiple Mediating Effects of Family Health and Self-Esteem
Authors:   Korean Academy of Integrated Care Management, Park Jae Hong
Published: January 2024

This study aimed to determine effect of discrimination perception on disability acceptance, mediating effects of family health and self-esteem, and serial multiple mediation effects of family health and self esteem in the relationship between discrimination perception and disability acceptance of acquired disability. The 1st Disability Life Panel Survey (DLPS) data were used for analysis. As study samples, 4,615 of this research were those who answered all variables. Frequency, reliability, regression analysis, and bootstrapping were performed using SPSS 26.0 and PROCESS Macro. Results of analyses revealed that discrimination perception showed a negative (-) effect on disability acceptance. In addition, mediating effects of family health and self-esteem between discrimination and disability acceptance and serial multiple mediating effects of family health and self-esteem were verified. These findings suggest that not only acquired disability itself, but also family are important to those with disability. Thus, related systems and programs should be developed with a longitudinal approach rather than a cross-sectional approach.
THE IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON CHANGES IN THE EMPLOYMENT LEVEL OF PARENTS RECEIVING A CHILD BENEFIT FROM THE FAMILY 500+ PROGRAM IN POLAND
Authors: Kmieć Dorota
Published: January 2024

Aim: The aim of the article was to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the employment rate of parents receiving a child benefit from the Family 500+ program. Methods: The study used a set of scientific methods, including generalization, theoretical and methodological analysis and synthesis. The real value of the childcare benefit was calculated. Results: The introduction of the “Family 500+” program resulted in an increase in spending on family policy. These transfers contributed to the improvement of the financial situation of the families. Therefore, the role of the child benefit in reducing poverty among families with children is decreasing, which can be seen especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the beginning of the pandemic, the total employment rate of parents fell. Households with one child were particularly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions: Based on the obtained results, recommendations were presented for the social policy.

Authors: Krasowicz Stanisław , Matyka Mariusz , Madej Andrzej
Published: January 2024

Aim: To present the rational use of Poland’s soils as a challenge for science, advice, and agricultural practice. Methods: Comparative analysis using tabular data and graphical presentations. Results: Compared to many European Union (EU) countries, Poland has a significant area of agricultural land, which, however, is systematically decreasing. It is of great importance to shape the environmental awareness of both farmers and society as a whole, aimed, among other things, at demonstrating all the functions of soils. Conclusions: Rational management of the soil environment should include recognizing all functions of soils, identifying threats, and delimiting areas sensitive to soil degradation processes. It is necessary to implement legal and financial instruments leading to the reduction or elimination of threats and the need to take into account regional specificities. Furthermore, the rational management of Poland’s soils is a strategic objective and important call for the whole of society. The basic prerequisites for implementing this program are the comprehensiveness of the assessment and the cooperation of science and counselling with local and administrative authorities and the agricultural self-government.

Published: January 2024

Background: The GRADE Study (5047 participants, mean follow-up 5.0 years) demonstrated differences in glycemic control over time among four randomized therapies added to metformin. Weight gain and hypoglycemia are also important outcomes for people with type 2 diabetes. We compared the effects of the four randomized GRADE medications on a composite outcome incorporating glycemic deterioration, weight gain, and hypoglycemia.

Methods: The composite outcome was time to first occurrence of any of: HbA1c >7.5%, confirmed; ≥5% weight gain; or severe or recurrent non-severe hypoglycemia. Secondary analyses examined individual components of the composite outcome, subgroup effects and potential mediators, and treatment satisfaction. Cumulative incidence was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. Cox proportional hazards models assessed pairwise group differences in risk of an outcome.

Results: Risk of reaching the composite outcome (events per 100 participant-treatment years, PTYs) was lowest with liraglutide (19/100 PTYs) followed by sitagliptin (26/100 PTYs), glargine (29/100 PTYs), and glimepiride (40/100 PTYs); all pairwise comparisons were statistically significant. Risk of weight gain and hypoglycemia had the same order, but risk of glycemic deterioration was lowest with glargine, followed by liraglutide, glimepiride, and sitagliptin. No significant heterogeneity in risk of composite outcome was detected across pre-specified covariates. Participants who reached the composite outcome had modestly but significantly lower treatment satisfaction.

Conclusions: Among common second-line drug classes for type 2 diabetes, liraglutide had the lowest and glimepiride the highest risk of reaching a composite outcome encompassing glycemic deterioration, weight gain, and hypoglycemia. These findings may inform decision-making regarding type 2 diabetes therapy.
Multimorbidity measured with Charlson Comorbidity Index is not associated with clinically relevant risk of revision after primary total hip arthroplasty: a population-based cohort study on 98,647 patients from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register
Authors: Haaber Rikke S , Iversen Katrine G , Klenø André S , Stisen Martin B , Mechlenburg Inger , Pedersen Alma B
Published: January 2024

Background and purpose: Evidence for guiding healthcare professionals on the risks of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in multimorbid patients is sparse. We aimed to examine the association between multimorbidity and the risk of revision due to any cause and specific causes after primary THA due to osteoarthritis.Patients and methods: We identified 98,647 THA patients and subsequent revisions in the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register from 1995 to 2018. Multimorbidity was measured with the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). Using the CCI (low, medium, high), we calculated the cumulative incidence function (CIF) of first revision up to 10 years after THA. Adjusted cause-specific hazard ratios (aHRs) were estimated using Cox regressions. All estimates are presented with 95% confidence intervals (CI).Results: Overall, the prevalence of patients with low, medium, and high CCI was 70%, 24%, and 6%. The CIF of any revision within 10 years was 6.5% (CI 6.2–6.7) in low and 6.5% (CI 5.8–7.3) in high CCI, with an aHR of 1.4 (CI 1.2–1.6) for patients with high compared with low CCI. The corresponding aHRs for cause-specific revision were 1.3 (CI 1.0–1.6) for aseptic loosening within 10 years, 1.2 (CI 0.9–1.6) for infection, and 1.7 (CI 1.3–2.2) for dislocation, both within 2 years.Conclusion: Multimorbidity is associated with a minor but not clinically relevant increased risk of revision up to 10 years after primary THA.
Projektowanie protestu: przestrzeń publiczna (nie)przyjazna demonstracjom ulicznym
Authors: Kowalewski Maciej , Ostrowski Marek
Published: January 2024

W tekście stawiamy pytania o to, dlaczego i w jaki sposób demonstracje uliczne i inne taktyki protestu powinny być brane pod uwagę przy planowaniu i projektowaniu przestrzeni publicznej. W ten sposób przedstawiamy głos sprzeciwu wobec tych polityków i aktorów w produkcji przestrzeni miejskiej, którzy chcieliby postrzegać przestrzenie protestu jako niechciane, zagrażające lub po prostu utrudniające sprzedaż nieruchomości ze względu na „uciążliwe sąsiedztwo”. Chociaż wiedza na temat roli przestrzeni w badaniach nad ruchami społecznymi jest już dobrze ugruntowana, rzadko jest omawiana w odniesieniu do praktyki projektowania (z kilkoma ważnymi wyjątkami). Zgodnie z naszą argumentacją, należy uwzględniać dwoistą naturę demonstracji ulicznych: zgromadzenia są postrzegane jako symbole demokracji, ale mogą być również destrukcyjne. To napięcie jest widoczne w dwóch wizjach projektowania: ułatwianiu i utrudnianiu demonstracji ulicznych w miejskim środowisku. W naszym tekście pokazujemy, że protesty są immanentną częścią neoliberalnej demokracji, a miasta nie mogą uniknąć lub nie uwzględnić demonstracji ulicznych w procesie projektowania przestrzeni.

Authors: HK Singhal
Published: January 2024

Skin is the largest organ of the human body. Beauty depends on healthy and glowing skin. Skin is that the reflection of what happens within the body. Currently due to pollution, bad eating habits, lack of sleep, pressure of work and stress, our skin is paying the price of the wrong lifestyle. People prefer to cover the damage with makeup and cosmetic applications instead of taking care of skin health. These chemical applications lead to more harm to the skin. In Ayurveda there are many relevant and effective natural formulations and herbs for skin care and to maintain beauty of skin. Ayurveda emphasizes on complete health internally as well as externally that’s why acharyas had mentioned about vayasthapan mahakashaya, varnya mahakashaya and rasayana etc. and various types of lepa for external application. The tiny details of thickness of lepa are also described in ayurveda texts. Ayurveda has safe, cost friendly & effective treatment of various dermatological issues i.e. skin care, hair care, fairness and glowing skin, removal of post pregnancy stretch marks, foot care, hair dyes, hair removal or skin problem like acne, acne scars or dandruff.

INTRODUCTION: Currently, the treatment of traumatic brain injuries requires a comprehensive approach which includes, among other things, the use of drugs possessing cerebroprotective activity. As a rule, the action of cerebral protectors is concentrated on separate pathophysiological mechanisms of brain damage, for example, the mitochondrial dysfunction. AIM: To study the effect of a new chalcone analogue on changes in the processes of mitochondrial biogenesis and neuroinflammation in rats with experimental traumatic brain injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the work, rats of Wistar line were used in whom a traumatic brain injury was modeled by a single exposure of the parietal region of the skull to a freely falling weight. The studied compound and the comparison drug, choline alfoscerate, were introduced orally within 7 days after injury, at doses of 50 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg, respectively. The behavioral reactions of the animals were evaluated in the ‘open field’ test. The intensity of neuroinflammation was determined by changes in the concentrations of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in the brain tissue. The markers of mitochondrial biogenesis were changes in the activity of succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome c oxidase. RESULTS: In the course of the work, it was found that the use of a new chalcone analogue in conditions of experimental traumatic brain injury facilitates an increase in locomotor and exploratory activity in rats, as well as reduces the level of anxiety. With the introduction of the studied compound, a decrease in the intensity of neuroinflammation reactions was observed, as evidenced by a decrease in the content of IL-1β by 58.8% (p < 0.05), IL-6 by 55.0% (p < 0.05) and TNF-α by 50.7% (p < 0.05) compared with untreated animals. The activity of succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome c oxidase increased by 63.6% (p < 0.05) and 27.6% (p < 0.05), respectively, when using the studied chalcone analogue. To note, the activity of enzymatic markers of mitochondrial biogenesis in rats treated with chalcone analogue was higher than in animals who were introduced choline alfoscerate. CONCLUSIONS: The study showed for prospects of further investigation of a new chalcone analogues as a complex cerebroprotective agent for treatment of sequelae of a traumatic brain injury.

Published: January 2024

INTRODUCTION: The number of vegans and vegetarians in the world is growing. In Russia, as in other countries with a significant proportion of Orthodox population, many people observe the Great Lent and other dietary restrictions prescribed by religion, which, however, exist in other Christian, and not only Christian, confessions. Provision of people having some dietary limitations, with all the necessary nutrients, is an important task requiring thorough consideration. An important issue that deserves special attention, is evaluation of the availability of sulfur as a macroelement, taking into account a complex character of its metabolism. AIM: Evaluation of sulfur consumption as a macrolelement, with food, through the analysis of sulfur-containing nutrients intake among population groups with various restrictions in the choice of food products. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The consumption of amino acids methionine and the ‘methionine + cysteine’ pair, as well as of vitamins B1 and H was studied among 185 people, including 46 vegans, 49 vegetarians, 42 people observing Orthodox Easter Lent, and 48 people without strict dietary restrictions, by the method of frequency analysis using a computer questionnaire. RESULTS: The consumption of sulfur-containing amino acids declined with a decline in proportion of the animal products in the diet. Only 16% of omnivores had insufficient intake of the ‘methionine + cysteine’ pair, while among vegans this parameter reached 87%. Concerning vitamin consumption, an opposite situation was observed. Omnivorous diet was almost inevitably associated with an insufficient amount of thiamine. Besides, more than half of vegetarians also had a deficit of vitamin B1 intake. On the contrary, vegans and adherents of the lean diet consumed it in sufficient quantities in the vast majority of cases. A different situation was observed with biotin. Although vegans, vegetarians and individuals observing the Great Lent, consumed higher quantities of vitamin H, it was practically in total deficit even in these groups. CONCLUSION: The consumption of essential sulfur-containing compounds has certain peculiarities depending on the type of the diet. If vegan, vegetarian and lean diets are often deficient in methionine and cysteine, the situation is opposite with thiamine: adherents of plant-based diets usually consume it in considerably higher amounts. Besides, intake of biotin in these groups is also higher. However, the biotin status of the population requires additional evaluation.

Published: January 2024

INTRODUCTION: Exudative pericarditis in a cancer patient is often a first manifestation of the disease and is considered a marker of a poor prognosis. According to the literature, the neoplastic etiology of a first-diagnosed exudative pericarditis is indicated by the following signs: cardiac tamponade, recurrent pericarditis, fever above 38°С, subacute course of pericarditis, absence of the effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The article presents a case report of cardiac metastasis in renal carcinoma manifested by acute exudative pericarditis in a 63-year old female patient. CONCLUSION: Diagnosis and treatment of cardiac metastasis presents difficulties in clinical practice due to the rarity of the disease, scarce symptoms, and the absence of clear recommendations for the management of such patients. Nevertheless, this rare route of metastasizing can significantly influence patient treatment and prognosis and requires cooperation between different specialists of the multidisciplinary team: oncologists, cardiologists, urologists (in case of renal cell carcinoma).

Published: January 2024

IntroductionRecent years have seen an increase in linkages between survey and administrative data. It is important to evaluate the quality of such data linkages to discern the likely reliability of ensuing research. Evaluation of linkage quality and bias can be conducted using different approaches, but many of these are not possible when there is a separation of processes for linkage and analysis to help preserve privacy, as is typically the case in the UK (and elsewhere).
ObjectivesWe aimed to describe a suite of generalisable methods to evaluate linkage quality and population representativeness of linked survey and administrative data which remain tractable when users of the linked data are not party to the linkage process itself. We emphasise issues particular to longitudinal survey data throughout.
MethodsOur proposed approaches cover several areas: i) Linkage rates, ii) Selection into response, linkage consent and successful linkage, iii) Linkage quality, and iv) Linked data population representativeness. We illustrate these methods using a recent linkage between the 1958 National Child Development Study (NCDS; a cohort following an initial 17,415 people born in Great Britain in a single week of 1958) and Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) databases (containing important information regarding admissions, accident and emergency attendances and outpatient appointments at NHS hospitals in England).
ResultsOur illustrative analyses suggest that the linkage quality of the NCDS-HES data is high and that the linked sample maintains an excellent level of population representativeness with respect to the single dimension we assessed.
ConclusionsThrough this work we hope to encourage providers and users of linked data resources to undertake and publish thorough evaluations. We further hope that providing illustrative analyses using linked NCDS-HES data will improve the quality and transparency of research using this particular linked data resource.

Analytical solution to fractional differential equation arising in thermodynamics
Authors: Almuneef A. , Hagag A.
Published: January 2024

The analysis of nonlinear events related to physical phenomena is a popular issue in the modern day. The essential purpose of this work is to discover a novel approximate solution to the fractional nonlinear Benjamin Bona Mahony Peregrine Burgers equation (BBMPB) utilizing the natural decomposition method (NDM) of fractional order. The suggested approach provides analytical solutions that are extremely near to the exact solution obviating the complexities associated with many other approaches. The expected issue’s uniqueness theorem and convergence analysis are explored using Banach’s fixed-point theory. The reliability and accuracy of the recommended method were tested using numerical simulations. The graphs and tables reflect the results. The comparison of the suggested scheme’s solution with the exact solutions demonstrates that the scheme is efficient, methodical, and extremely exact in tackling nonlinear complicated phenomena.
Microstructure effect analysis of carbon black-filled rubber composites
Authors: Huang L. , Tao X. , Wei T. , Li Z.
Published: January 2024

The unidirectional tensile stress-strain curves of four kinds of carbon black-filled rubbers with different volume contents were obtained by mechanical experiments, and the fine morphology maps of the carbon black-filled rubber composites were obtained by electron microscope experiments. Based on the hyperelastic constitutive model of rubber, an ellipsoidal carbon black particles randomly distributed finite element model was established using DIGIMAT and ABAQUS, and uniaxial tensile simulation was carried out on the established two-dimensional model. The effects of the volume fraction, distribution angle and number of agglomerates of carbon black particles on the stress-strain relationship curve and stress distribution of the composites were analyzed. The results show that: with the increasing volume fraction of carbon black particles, the stiffness value of the composite material becomes larger; when the particle direction is 0° to the load direction, the strength of the material is improved and the stress concentration phenomenon is less; with the increasing number of carbon black agglomerates, the strength of the composite material decreases and the stress concentration phenomenon is obvious in agglomerated area.

By utilizing the energy contained in ocean waves to make electrical energy by using sea wave power plants. Ocean wave energy harvsting, single pendulum pontoon systems, are one of the alternatives to energy problems in this world. Simulations were carried out to determine the electrical energy to be obtained from the from ocean wave energy harvesting, single pendulum pontoon system. The simulation was carried out with matlab software by controlling the variable amplitude of ocean waves 0.0125m, 0.025m, 0.0375m, 0.05 m, and 0.0625m. From the simulation results, current, power and voltage data generated from the ocean wave power generation system were obtained. In this study, the results obtained were different amplitude levels that had a real influence on the results of current, power and voltage generated from ocean wave energy harvesting -  single pendulum pontoon system using minitab software to process data with a complete random design method. Where the higher the amplitude of ocean waves, the higher the value of the results of currents, voltages and power generated by single pendulum pontoon model from ocean wave energy harvesting.

The epic and poetics of the Travesía as a space of resistance in design education
Authors: Spencer Herbert
Published: January 2024

The "Travesías" are an emblematic practice of the PUCV School of Architecture and Design, recognised as a radical element in the training of designers and architects. They originated not from a pedagogical intentionality but from an artistic impulse inherent in the poetry-craft relationship (and, within the framework of a school, in the teacher-disciple relationship). Their systematisation as a permanent part of the curriculum is a later phenomenon due to their resounding success in disciplinary apprenticeship. The theoretical and poetic foundations of the travesías are multiple and varied, each essential to the school. These include contemplative observation as the primary action of the craft, the permanent question about America and being American, the collective sense in the epic of undertaking a shared adventure and the sense of the Work from its inaugural and gratuitous sense. These elements coexist and intersect and amplify each other, constituting the rich complexity that defines the experience of the voyages. The contemporary context poses severe challenges to these fundamental principles, both in the installation of new subjectivities and new ethos and in institutional and normative aspects. Greater psychological fragility among young people results in a much lesser willingness to engage in physical adventures in wild environments, with less focus and much more fragmented attention. At the institutional level, the judicialisation of education and the right to free education commodify time, threatening the viability of travesías as an enterprise that exceeds mere instruction, to name but a few aspects that threaten them. Moreover, in an age that advocates tackling more significant practical challenges such as energy sustainability, access to clean water, climate change or social inequality, to name but a few, a "poetic purpose" is indeed an oxymoron. Furthermore, it risks being misunderstood as irresponsible: in times of urgency, there is no room for poetry, apparently. The sense of design as a problem solver does not necessarily reveal the depth and richness of the possible. This presentation seeks, first, to critically examine the meaning of travesías in the light of contemporary challenges and, second, to open a dialogue with the academic and professional community to discuss whether these fundamental principles are still recognised as valuable. Also, explore new ways and means of reinventing travesías, especially when their core values are threatened by the cultural and systemic transformations of our time.
Have we asked the children?
Authors: Spieker Annelore
Published: January 2024

The ideas of the Spanish-Colombian academic Jesus Martín-Barbero concerning cultural mediations and the night map will be the primary focus of this discussion as the central theoretical framework for comprehending how young people create meaning in the media, particularly worldwide animated films. Even though the theoretical framework was formed within the setting of Latin America, the notions developed by Martín-Barbero are flexible enough to be applied to any media situation. This academic discourse is enhanced by the notions of hybrid culture proposed by Néstor Garcia Canclini. These ideas provide additional foundation for the concepts and theories that are discussed in this work. Within the context of multicultural Aotearoa New Zealand, the theoretical framework was tested with young people attending English-medium schools, formerly known as mainstream schools. Participants ranged in age from six to twelve years old, and there were boys and girls from multiple ethnic origins participating. The data collection took place over the course of three years and used, among different methodologies, work groups (resembling focus groups), online surveys, and interviews. The discussion with the children aimed to discuss sixteen different Disney and Pixar films and their respective twenty-four main characters. The purpose of the conversation was to understand where children feel the characters might have come from and why they have such ideas about those characters, films’ tales, and their places. The research also focused on what characters children and young people would identify the most and the reason behind this decision. According to the research findings, one of the factors that support children in comprehending their surroundings is the cultural context of their household and how the schools they attend provide conversations around the topic of cultural identity. This research aims to show how it is possible to enhance cultural awareness in young people in a fun and light way. A diverse media setting can lead young people to demonstrate more sensitivity to the similarities and differences between two or more cultures and use this in effective communication with members of other cultural groups.
Waving Spaces Together: The use of photography to produce narratives of proximity
Authors: Frey Aline
Published: January 2024

This presentation aims to explore the intersection between migration and photography, tackling two essential questions: How do migrants grapple with their emotions of displacement and settlement through photography? And, how are these coping strategies visually constructed in contemporary photographic projects? Through an analysis of diverse photographic projects, including "Belonging" (Frey, 2022) and "Traces of Brazil" (Frey, 2023), this presentation unravels the intricate ways in which migrant photography weaves together spaces and people across the globe. By closely examining these projects, the goal is to comprehend the visual narratives that emerge and the insights they provide into the migrant experience. Furthermore, this presentation seeks to explore the role of photography in the process of homemaking among migrants. Migrant photography, exemplified in projects like "Belonging" and "Traces of Brazil," congregates in both close and remote spaces, forming a non-physical and internalised territory. This intermediary space, situated between dislocation and settlement and facilitated by photography, becomes a potent mechanism for fostering a sense of belonging. Interestingly, this sense of belonging is not confined to a specific geographic space. Instead, photography, as a medium, offers a means to stand in an interim space of settlement and familiarity, enabling individuals to establish a connection with a sense of place that transcends physical boundaries. In exploring into these dynamics, this presentation aspires to contribute to on-going debates regarding the use of contemporary photography as a tool for producing and disseminating migrant narratives. The aim is to explore the potential of migrant media within interdisciplinary contexts, particularly in terms of dislocation and displacement. Through this exploration, I seek to better understand Pierre Bourdieu's notion of habitus clivé [cleft habitus] as an internal contradiction and subjective division acquired as individuals move from one social context to another. In conclusion, this presentation aims to shed light on the ways in which photography can display the complex experiences of migrants, offering a different perspective on the intersection of identity, belonging, memory and settlement.
Podobrazovanost pripadnika romske nacionalne manjine i razlozi odustajanja od školovanja
Authors: Tursić Andreja , Racz Aleksandar
Published: January 2024

Romska nacionalna manjina predstavlja važan dio društva u Republici Hrvatskoj. Romi imaju bogatu povijest i kulturu, a obrazovanje ima ključnu ulogu u integraciji i socijalnoj inkluziji svih građana, a posebno kod manjinskih skupina kao što su Romi. Nažalost, podobrazovanost pripadnika romske nacionalne manjine predstavlja ozbiljan problem koji zahtijeva pažnju i rješavanje. Cilj je rada analizirati problem podobrazovanosti pripadnika romske nacionalne manjine u Republici Hrvatskoj, sistematizirati dosad poznate razloge koji dovode do odustajanja od školovanja te predložiti mjere za poboljšanje njihova obrazovanja. Rezultati analiziranih dosad provedenih istraživanja ukazuju na nisku razinu obrazovanja među Romima, s niskom stopom upisa u predškolske ustanove, visokim postotkom odustajanja od osnovnoškolskog i srednjoškolskog obrazovanja te ograničenim pristupom visokoškolskom obrazovanju.
