Essere, diventare, o scoprirsi anziani durante l’emergenza Covid-19
Authors: Cappellato Valeria , Mercuri Eugenia
Published: May 2024

The idea that older people should be active agents has dominated policy discourse across health, social care and housing that has a core care function. In the context of ageing population, the active and successful ageing paradigm risks to exacerbating existing inequalities and disadvantages that take shape along the life course and that cross several aspects of everyday life. The covid-19 pandemic shed light on areas of inequalities and social exclusion in old age. This paper, based on interviews with both representatives of services for older adults and people over 65 living in a city of Northern Italy, aims at exploring representations and (self)perceptions of ageing in the wake of the health emergency, with a focus on the re-definition of everyday life and habits, emerging needs, and on the weakness of services in front of an unprecedented and unpredictable situation. Results will show that public representations of ageing during the pandemic came into tension with older adult’s self-perceptions, bringing to light dynamics of social exclusion and even of a “benevolent” ageism.
La trasformazione silenziosa della globalizzazione giuridica. L’evoluzione del diritto da localismo antropologico a linguaggio logico-matematico formalizzato
Authors: Ferone Emilia , Petroccia Sara , Pitasi Andrea
Published: May 2024

The transformation of law from an anthropological shape of habits, traditions, beliefs on a local community scale to a much more logical, abstract, formal, deductible, general and artificial conception of law is one of the mirrors through which globalization emerges. To be very simple: community law is much more a matter of socio-anthropological habits of which local moral values affect law making, on the contrary the abstract general, artificial conception of law is aimed at making law among social sciences what mathematics is among natural ns: a kind of formal and cross disciplinary language. In the globalization process the transformation is rather clear on a epistemological level but applied legal practice the different branches of law are more and more turning into mathematics the more global the world order evolves. Company law, Taxation law, Health Law, trade Law, intellectual Property Law, etc. are among the others more and more “mathematical” also through the efforts of OECD, WTO; WIPO WTO nevertheless criminal law still remains rather anthropological and it is an important problem setting for the institutional designers whose job on the criminal law side is to find some global alignment tool and exemplary case. Prescription in criminal law can be an interesting example as it is also an indicator of the decision making speed of courts which is, for example, a key criterion for the European Union which use Justice policy is about assessing how the local administrations of justice manage it.
Being a nomad in one’s home: The case of Italian women during Covid-19
Authors: Burchi Sandra , Samuk Sahizer
Published: May 2024

How did women relate to space and time when working at home during the COVID-19 pandemic? We contextualized women’s relationships with their home spaces as they became nomads in their own homes during the lockdown. In face-to-face focus-group interviews conducted with 50 women who had experience with smart work or telework in Tuscany, Italy, we observed a range of strategies among women who dealt with forced closures during COVID-19. Justification and acceptance of inequality became a part of the daily life of the women, who fought against unequal distribution of time and space via negotiation, evidence, adaptation, or requests to return to workplaces. During COVID-19, Italian working women were in search of space and time in their own homes, trying relentlessly to respond to the demands of their families and fulfil work-related requirements.
Elias e la peste. Aspetti connessi a epidemie in età moderna, spunti per una lettura eliasiana
Authors: Brandi Enrico
Published: May 2024

The paper aims to relate the observations of some historians who have dealt with epidemic events in early modern Italy to some central features of Norbert Elias’ approach, and to observe some social phenomena related to such events in the perspective of Eliasian sociology. In this way, we will try to suggest that the social implications of great epidemic events that occurred “in the past” can be included among the various fields of investigation in which the Eliasian approach can be tested, and we will attempt to highlight the usefulness of some key concepts of the figurational sociology for the interpretation of what can be observed in that field. With particular reference to seventeenth-century Tuscany, attention will be focused on some dynamics of change that involved – at the same time – both certain institutions engaged in the fight against the plague and certain dimensions of people’s attitudes and “sensibilities”. Following Norbert Elias, we will also try to suggest that the role played by the plague in defining the direction of those dynamics of change was part of a broader (civilizing) process.
Huntington, lo scontro di civiltà e la situazione ucraina
Authors: Barbieri Giovanni
Published: May 2024

The article deals with one of the most influential and renowed book of Huntington, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order. After dwelling on the historical and intellectual background of the book, on its main thesis, and on its reception and criticism, the article focuses on the Huntigton’s analysis of Ukraine, viewed by the author as a cleft country. Embracing a culturalist approach to the international relations, the article tries to deepen the Huntington thesis arguing that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine implies a clash between the different geopolitical representations that these great powers have of themselves. Finally, it raises the question of the current relevance and applicability of the Huntington proposals aimed to avoid the outbreak of catastrophical conflicts on a global scale.

La costruzione sociale della camorra
Authors: Esposito Federico
Published: May 2024

In the field of scientific studies on mafias, their relationship with the territorial context is configured as a specific space of genesis and reproduction of criminal groups but also as a place of production of social representations of the phenomenon. A plurality of actors defines and directs the public discourse on the Mafia, participating in its social construction. This work investigates these modes of social representation associated with the criminal phenomenon, presenting the case of a community traditionally affected by the presence of Camorra clans. In this community the progressive affirmation of the clans is accompanied by numerous episodes of violence, which are the main symbolic element on which the process of recognition of the Camorra by the local community develops. The analysis of the case study is therefore a useful starting point for the historical-sociological understanding of the processes of social construction of mafia phenomena.
Cancel culture: strategie della memoria e politiche identitarie
Authors: Dei Fabio
Published: May 2024

The following contribution analyzes the controversies surrounding the so-called cancel culture, which arose within the “culture wars” in the United States. These wars pit ultraconservative and anti-liberal movements, which support religious fundamentalism, xenophobia, and extreme nationalism, against movements that fight for social justice and minority rights. Cancel culture is part of this struggle and involves the practice of canceling, revising, or inventing aspects of the past to support dominant views in the present. This struggle is based on identity politics, interpreting social justice based on belonging to specific social groups, such as race, gender, and sexual orientation, often ignoring social class. The “third wave” of social justice movements develops in a context where equal rights are widely recognized, and anti-racism and inequality ideologies are hegemonic. This has transformed the nature and strategies of the movements, which now focus on symbolic and communicative actions, fueling political correctness in a more invasive way. The most well-known cases of cancel culture also fuel conservative propaganda and provide them with the opportunity to present themselves as defenders of free speech. From the perspective of social sciences and anthropology, the phenomenon of cancel culture raises two aspects of interest: the first concerns the influence of activism on social theory and research methodology, which can lead to ideological caricatures; the second concerns the creation of an atmosphere of suspicion, accusations, and confessions in public spheres, which connects to the Puritan roots of Anglo-American culture.
Senso, significato e rilevanza del lavoro. Una prospettiva weberiana
Authors: Cavallini Giulia , D'Andrea Dimitri
Published: May 2024

The paper engages with the debate on the study of subjective work-related attitudes by presenting Weberian-inspired theoretical and methodological tools. In order to address the lack of clarity and scarcity of studies concerning the subjective dimensions of work, this essay identifies a distinction between the notions of 'meaning' and 'sense' of work. Additionally, it introduces an ideal-typical classification of work-related senses interpreted according to Weber's theory of social action. These resources enable an in-depth analysis of subjective representations of work and a new research approach to tackle the challenges of the post-fordist work environment, encompassing multiple forms of work and the ensuing social and political dynamics, as the representation of interests.

Transforming Contemporary Public Urban Spaces with Planting Design. Shifting from Monocultural Planting Blocks to Naturalistic Plant Communities
Authors: Russo Alessio
Published: May 2024

The field of landscape architecture is currently undergoing a notable transformation in planting design styles, driven by the imperative to create resilient and sustainable landscapes capable of adapting to climate change. New approaches to planting design have become a fundamental element in the regeneration of urban spaces, as evidenced by prominent projects such as the High Line in New York and the Lurie Garden in Chicago. To investigate this phenomenon, this paper conducts a review of the literature, aiming to analyse the historical evolution of planting styles. Furthermore, this paper presents a series of compelling case studies that exemplify the successful regeneration of public urban spaces through the implementation of carefully designed plant communities. These case studies illustrate noteworthy projects carried out in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Russia, highlighting the positive impact of designed plant communities on urban landscapes. Drawing upon the findings from the literature review and case studies, this paper concludes by discussing future directions and current issues in planting design.
La poetica della spontaneità. Progettare con le piante nuovi spazi mutevoli
Authors: GHERSI Adriana , MANFREDI Fabio
Published: May 2024

Changing climatic and environmental conditions induce a gradual change in the habits and behaviour of plant communities; plants migrate, aggregate and reorganize with consciousness and foresight to regain the conditions of survival. Similarly, landscape design changes and evolves in form and purpose, advocating new and unusual forms of urban spaces that attempt to combine aesthetic and ecological values. Sometimes taming spontaneity, at other times recreating it, the project proposes new and unprecedented habitats and conveys important cultural values: plants are entrusted with the task of narrating the contents most closely related to life and change.
Biophilic design reframed. The theoretical basis for experimental research
Authors: Barbiero Giuseppe
Published: May 2024

Biophilic Design is a design system based on Kellert and Wilson's Biophilia Hypothesis. Biophilia is literally ‘love for life’ – a feeling distinguished by the fascination evoked in human beings for Nature provoked by contact with Nature and by the affiliation that human beings establish with Nature. Biophilia is an evolutionary adaptation consisting of a set of innate learning rules that shape a spectrum of emotions, ranging from biophilia to biophobia. Two exaptations have been recognised in Biophilia, which occurred due to two moments of rupture of humankind from Nature: the first occurred in the Neolithic Age, the second with the Industrial Revolution which led to most humans becoming urbanized, disconnecting them from Nature. Designers following the principles of Biophilic Design seek to reconnect humans to Nature using our knowledge of biophilia as a guide for the design of artificial environments. Today, Biophilic Design is called to move away from empiricism, and instead implement the experimental tests of the Biophilia Hypothesis.

Zelfredzaamheid als uitgangspunt voor de begeleiding van ASS: een mythe
Authors: Jansen Rianne
Published: May 2024

Life-course counsellors play a key role in the lives of people with autism and are committed to improving the quality of life of their clients. They combine their personal vision of care as best as possible with the system within they function. Since decentralization in 2015, they have had to deal with policy changes within the social domain, where the notion of self-reliance is used as a starting point for policy. This notion can be interpreted in many ways and causes confusion for people who are dependent on care and for people who provide this care, either as an informal caregiver or as a professional care provider. In this contribution I discuss the central criticisms on the notion of self-reliance as a policy starting point for the guidance of people with autism and which alternative notions could provide guidance.

Copyright: fighting piracy and plagiarism in the digital age
Authors: Onyshchuk Mykhaylo , Tatarinova Larуsa
Published: May 2024

Every day more and more pages are appearing on the Internet with free access to works whose copyright and property rights belong to publishers or individual authors. The practice of using free content in the publishing world dates back long before the digital revolution, even before the Internet. But the main problem facing the publishing sector today is that pirated content and products create direct competition for publishing, inhibiting the development of intellectual property. Piracy in the publishing industry has grown significantly over the past four years, with a significant increase following the first quarantines of the 2019 COVID-19 pandemic. In May 2020, publishing piracy was greater than film, making it the second largest digital piracy media sector after television. The search for a reliable solution to eliminate online piracy of e-books and plagiarism is an urgent need, on which the survival of authorship as a profession, the global development of culture and the flourishing of the most important branch of the creative economy of the countries of the world — the publishing industry — depends.
Information technology platforms of scientific libraries of higher education institutions of Ukraine
Authors: Rzheuskyi Antonii , Kunanets Natalia
Published: May 2024

Electronic libraries are the main form of remote user service during quarantine restrictions and martial law. The purpose of the article is to investigate the peculiarities of the creation and provision of access to electronic libraries, electronic collections and institutional repositories by the book collections of domestic institutions of higher education of Ukraine in the conditions of a pandemic and martial law. The concept of an electronic library is not limited only to the definition of its content, but also to the creation of comfortable educational and scientific virtual communication simplicity. The advantage of an electronic library is to save space, time, and provide the user with access to electronic information resources from any device and at any time. A double burden is placed on libraries today: converting information on traditional media that has accumulated in library collections for decades into electronic format, and processing external flows of information, which has a tendency to only increase. For the first time, it was noted that a library specialist today (including in connection with events in the state for his own safety) is able to fill the electronic library, edit metadata, provide information services to users remotely, outside the physical library, acting as a virtual librarian.
Peculiarities of the use of distance learning tools in institutions of higher education during martial law
Authors: Vasylenko Valeriia , Borsukovska Anastasia , Yavorska Yulia
Published: May 2024

The rapid development of distance education is due primarily to the emergence of fundamentally new conditions for working with information thanks to the opportunities provided by new information technologies. The technology of the educational field allows you to acquire knowledge at a distance from the educational institution, and this is becoming the norm. Thanks to new technologies, learning and teaching methods are no longer limited by space and time. Modernity offers great flexibility in when, where and how to acquire knowledge, offering unique learning opportunities to acquirers. Distance learning is one of the fastest growing areas of education, and its noticeable impact on all education delivery systems has greatly helped the development of information technology. To meet the needs of a changing world, the future of distance learning must be accessible in time, without geographical barriers, competitively priced/valued and learner oriented. With the beginning of a full-scale war, higher education in Ukraine faced a difficult question — how to organize an effective educational process in such conditions? The experience of previous years came in handy for the organization of distance learning as the only possible form of education during the war. Today it is already possible to draw preliminary conclusions about its application. The implementation of distance education during the pandemic made it possible to see both negative and positive features of using this form of education. The acquired knowledge helped Ukrainian educators to organize the educational process quickly and efficiently in the conditions of war.
The article examines the peculiarities of the use of distance learning tools in institutions of higher education during military operations in Ukraine. The chronology of events and problems faced by Ukrainian education, starting from February 24, 2022, is highlighted. The importance of distance education in the current conditions is emphasized, as thanks to it, higher education institutions were able to restore a high-quality educational process. Distance learning tools are defined as software products that teachers use in a digital environment that includes audio, video, and digital text. This work is about the best tools specially designed for online learning and without which distance education seems impossible now.
Crisis communications of Ukrainian Trade Unions public organizations in war conditions
Authors: Udovenko Anna
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study is to outline the specifics of crisis communications of trade union public organizations in the conditions of war based on the communication activities of the Federation of Trade Unions of Ukraine. We took a period of 100 days before the beginning of the Russian invasion and 100 days after and examined the anti-crisis communications and technologies used by Ukrainian trade unions during this period. The subject of the study was the communication activity of trade unions on the official Internet resource of the Federation of Trade Unions of Ukraine. The main research method was content analysis and the method of data systematization. Also, we applied the method of data visualization, comparative, analytical-synthetic and factorial methods for the analysis of sources and comparison of data.
The study proved that Ukrainian trade unions quickly optimized their resources and directed them to combat the crisis, new anti-crisis communication technologies were used in the information activities of trade union public organizations. Transformations in the topic of publications, the genre palette of publications, the use of new types of content prove that trade unions changed the vector of their communication activity and began to produce new, previously unused communication content. It was also found that there was a strengthening in terms of communication. Those trade unions, about which many materials were previously published, could not use their communication resources due to the crisis period, but they were replaced by colleagues from other regions, which is a positive practice of anti-crisis communication activities of Ukrainian Trade Unions. The value of the research lies in the fact that, for the first time, we investigated the reaction of Ukrainian Trade Unions to the beginning of the war, which becomes a necessary step for the development of scientific, practical and strategic approaches to the management of crisis situations in the conditions of war.

Impact of Sprouting on the Oxalate Load of Proteinaceous Plant Based Foods
Authors: Rajan Renu , Nayagam Justin R
Published: May 2024

Total oxalate content of plant-based foods has a prominent impact on renal calculi formation in animals and man. The present study was aimed to estimate total oxalate in six selected whole dry seed samples namely Chick pea - Cicer arietinum (S1), Red cowpea – Vigna unguiculata (S2), Green pea – Pisum sativum (S3), Mung bean – Vigna radiata (S4), Almond- Prunus dulcis (S5) and Soybean – Glycine max (S6) and their seed coats used as protein rich foods at 0 hrs., 24 hrs. And 48 hrs. Post soaking in distilled water. Total oxalate (TO) levels were found to be decreased in all the sprouted whole seeds at 24 hrs. And 48 hrs. Than 0 hrs. Post soaking. Whole seeds of S2 contained maximum TO (400mg/100g sample) prior to sprouting which on soaking for 48 hrs. Reduced TO (122mg/100g). Maximum reduction in TO after 48 hrs. Was in S4 (292mg-25mg/100g). S1, S3, S5 and S6 exhibited lowering of TO by (243mg-80mg, 93mg-35mg, 343mg-133mg, 232mg-85mg per 100g sample) respectively. Sprouting induced more than 60% reduction of TO in whole seeds. Seed coat analysis of S4 (259mg-404mg/100g sample) and S5 (280mg-134mg/100g sample) projected an increase in TO post 24 hrs. Soaking, but further soaking till 48 hrs. Decreased the oxalate load to 261 mg and102 mg respectively. Seed coats of S1 and S3 shows lowering of TO from 30mg/100g sample and 33mg/100g sample to12mg/100g and 13 mg/100gsample. Sprouting, regulated oxalate levels in plant-based foods and exclusion of seed coats could reduce oxalate intake. Total Oxalate analysis of plant-based foods need to be addressed for safety of renal patients in choosing low oxalate diet.

Published: May 2024

Overcrowding is certainly one of the major problems that have affected the work of the health care system in recent years, especially in the Emergency Department (ED), In addition, overcrowding has a significant impact on the quality of health care in hospitals. In addition to creating issues for patients and staff, overcrowding in the ED can lead to medical errors, longer wait times, and thus causes financial losses to hospitals. Emergency services are considered necessary in society, given the human need for them at any stage of their life. The emergency department is a complex system due to the nature of the resources it contains. Many researchers are interested in proposing many solutions to solve many problems in the emergency department. Researchers rely on many methods and techniques such as simulation, optimization algorithms, data mining, and other methods. In this research, we try to propose an approach based on the ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms and colored Petri nets, the aim of which is to reduce waiting times and thus reduce the length of the patient’s stay. Simulation models are built utilizing colored Petri nets, and to determine human resources, the ACO algorithms are used. This research helps the administrative staff in the emergency department find appropriate solutions for human resources.

Authors: Kristy Jane R. Muegna  , Virgion H. Mamonong
Published: May 2024

This explanatory sequential mixed methods study aimed to assess the causal association of the reading comprehension of first year English-major students as viewed from the context of learning style preference and lexical inferencing strategies in the different state colleges and universities in Davao region. The quantitative strand utilized an adopted survey questionnaire distributed to three hundred respondents using stratified random sampling. The qualitative approach employed 17 informants from among the three hundred respondents. Ten were subjected to IDI and seven to FGD. The study revealed that the learning style preference of the respondents indicated high levels in visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Moreover, the students perceive a high level of lexical inferencing strategies in terms of intralingual strategies and contextual strategies. On one hand, the students have a moderate rating of their reading comprehension in terms of literal, interpretive, and evaluation level while low for the creative level. Learning style preference found to have no significant relationship and influence on reading comprehension. In the contrary, lexical inferencing strategies found to have a significant relationship and a dominant influence on the reading comprehension of the students. The participants of the qualitative strand confirmed and disconfirmed with the quantitative results. Hence, the nature of data integration was revealed to be connecting-confirmation and connecting- expansion. In the broader context, this study will be of great help to the society since improving how students comprehend text translates to a more knowledgeable and capable society, fostering overall societal improvement.
