Cooperation and Conflict in Occupational Safety and Health
Authors: Wokutch Richard A. 
Published: June 2024

The result of an eight-year, international research study, this volume examines the methods used to promote occupational safety and health in the automotive industries of the United States, West Germany, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Kenya. The author pays particular attention to the ways in which the broad national social, economic, political, and legal environments influence occupational safety and health activities and outcomes. The study also focuses on the differing degrees of cooperation and conflict exhibited among involved parties in the handling of occupational safety in different countries and companies. Based upon his findings, the author develops a contingency theory of labor-management-government cooperation and conflict that has broad implications for current debates about the need to develop more cooperative relationships within U.S. firms.
Following an introductory chapter that defines key concepts and presents an overview of the research design, Wokutch provides a historical overview of occupational safety and health in the United States for the reader unfamiliar with these issues. He goes on to describe occupational safety and health activities and relationships in the U.S. automotive industry, contrasting them with the handling of these issues in the five other countries under study. National work injury statistics are then compared and related to the economic and sociopolitical environment in which they occur. The next three chapters shift the focus of analysis to the firm and plant level and provide intra and inter-company comparisons. Finally, Wokutch discusses the conclusions and implications of his research and offers recommendations for the handling of occupational safety and health issues derived from his study. Students of labor and industrial relations as well as occupational safety and health and human resources managers will find Wokutch's study an important contribution to the business and management literature.

Delinquency in Puerto Rico
Authors: Nevares Dora , Wolfgang Marvin E. , Tracy Paul E. 
Published: June 2024

This volume describes the findings of a longitudinal, birth cohort study of juvenile delinquency in Puerto Rico. Carried out under the auspices of the Puerto Rican Senate's Special Crime Commission, the book represents a new type of birth cohort study, based on the classic work done in Philadelphia. The authors have traced Puerto Rican children born in 1970, both male and female, through the greater San Juan police departments, charting the incidence of delinquency and the number of recurring offenders. These findings are compared to the Philadelphia studies of 1945 and 1958.
The book begins its examination with a discussion of the background for the current study. Literature on juvenile delinquency in Puerto Rico is reviewed, official statistics are cited, and a discussion of the birth cohort and the importance of longitudinal studies is provided. Chapter 2 addresses the prevalence of delinquency, and chapter 3 details its incidence, severity, and types of offenses. Succeeding chapters cover such areas as age and delinquency, delinquent recidivism, and police and court dispositions. The volume concludes with a section on cohort comparisons, a summary of the findings, and some policy implications and suggestions for legislation. A group of appendices is also included. This work will be an important addition for courses in criminology and sociology, as well as a valuable resource for college and university libraries.
American Culture in Europe
Authors: Epitropoulos Mike-Frank G. , Roudometof Victor , Cushman Thomas 
Published: June 2024

These essays examine the proliferation of American culture in Europe. Throughout the collection, the authors raise the issue of the degree to which Europe becomes Americanized. They examine in concrete detail the way this process operates with reference to specific research areas such as advertising, consumerism, science, law, and politics.
Most of the essays suggest a great variation in the manner in which American cultural influences are appropriated within specific European countries. Such appropriation is conditioned by the local needs and perceptions as well as the way local elites employ Americanization in order to bolster their own context specific political agendas. This variation suggests that Americanization is a label frequently employed to describe the more multifaceted and complex process of globalization. This collection of essays will be of special interest to students and scholars involved with Cultural Studies, Sociology, and European Studies.
A Century of American Icons
Authors: Cross Mary 
Published: June 2024

Dogs eat burritos, camels smoke cigarettes, and frogs drink beer. Welcome to the Century of the Consumer. In the 20th century, Americans were romanced by consumer culture, which in turn reflected the changing attitudes, priorities, and values of the country. This book compiles entries on 100 consumer products—ten per decade—that figured prominently in the rise of consumer culture in the United States, telling the story behind the century's most popular products, slogans, and symbols.
A unique format provides glimpses into American popular culture from each decade in the century. In addition to the history of advertising, economics, and the media, students will learn how perceptions of class, gender, and race were conveyed through advertising-and how those perceptions changed from 1900 to 2000. A-Z entries for each decade include bibliographic information on the product, as well as vivid illustrations showing the visual evolution of advertising icons and strategies throughout the century.
Class and Consciousness
Authors: Cobley Alan G. 
Published: June 2024

This is the first book to discuss the emergence and nature of the black bourgeoisie in South Africa in its historical context as a class in itself and for itself. It reveals how, by the 1920s, the black petty bourgeoisie was emerging in South Africa through the process of capitalist development, out of pre-existing elites and out of new elites based mainly in the new industrial centers. The book then discusses how the black petty bourgeoise deployed, in the 1930s, a wide range of class-specific social and cultural networks (using forms borrowed from the dominant classes) as a means of entrenching and reproducing its class position.
The book details the significant differentiation within the black petty bourgeoisie--revealing it to be divided into a more economically secure upper stratum and a much larger lower stratum which was always vulnerable to proletarianisation. The book also shows that members of the petty black bourgeoisie virtually monopolized political leadership in black communities up to 1950 and beyond. This had very important consequences for the formulation and articulation of black political objectives at both the local and national levels and especially for the developing African nationalist movement.

An Easy Out
Authors: Buffington Jack 
Published: June 2024

Outsourcing is as controversial as ever in today's globalized world. But for all the noise about it in the media, whether reflecting the perspectives of labor, business, consultants, academics, employees, or protestors, there is far more emotion surrounding the benefits and drawbacks of the trend than there is common sense. Not only are these messages from different constituents polarizing, they are also confusing because they muddy the waters regarding corporate performance. Buffington clarifies the role of outsourcing in business today so that Americans can focus on something that really matters—real increases in productivity and competitiveness in a global economy. In most cases, he contends, neither outsourcing nor its close cousin, offshoring, are effective as a means to their intended end. Moreover, he points out, Americans focus a lot of negative energy on offshoring, not realizing that domestic outsourcing might be more harmful to our economy in the long run. Corporations lack awareness of this distinction, according to Buffington, and therefore they don't know which should be implemented in what circumstances. That ignorance is not only an obstacle for any company seeking to implement a successful outsourcing strategy, but it is also a dire threat to the long-term growth of the American economy.
Buffington demonstrates that outsourcing often functions as an easy out for corporations that are reluctant to look instead at the root causes of their problems, whether low productivity, lack of innovation, or an unwillingness to invest in marketing, promotion, and sales. The reason that corporations aren't focusing on these core issues has a historical element as much as an evolutionary one within a global economy; the divisions today between workers and management are as sharp as they were back in the early 20th century, Buffington argues. But as much as we have to learn from the past about the impact of worker/management relations on worker productivity, we have even more to learn about all aspects of the productivity puzzle. Corporate productivity, or lack thereof, drives the success or failure of outsourcing or offshoring more than the act itself, according to Buffington. This book challenges business leaders to find their productivity and only then to make outsourcing decisions. This approach will work for corporations, consulting firms, outsourcers, and in the end, customers themselves. A more productive, worker-manager friendly business environment will lead to greater U.S. productivity, and therefore, more effective outsourcing/offshoring decisions.
Las propuestas económicas de los partidos y la necesidades de las mayorías populares
Authors: Martínez Evelin , Montoya Aquiles 
Published: June 2024

No es hora de sectarismos ni de dogmatismo, sino de buscar creativamente alternativas reales a la crisis económica que afecta a El Salvador así como al resto de América Latina. La crisis no es exclusiva de El Salvador. Ante esta hora tan decisiva para el futuro del país ninguno de los partidos políticos mayoritaris ofrece soluciones a la altura de las exigencias planteadas por la crisis general y particular.
En efecto, aquí se analizan las propuestas económicas de los partidos Demócrata Cristiano, ARENA y Convergencia Democrática dentro del contexto de esa crisis general latinoamericana. Los partidos mayoritarios están ofreciendo, con sus matices, por supuesto, viabilizar el funcionamiento del sistema, es decir, no es su objetivo satisfacer las necesidades de las mayorías populares.

SOCIAL, CULTURAL, AND INSTITUTIONAL FACTORS OF CHANGES IN THE DYNAMICS OF ILLEGAL ACTIVITY DURING THE PANDEMIC: A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS
Authors: ЕШЕВ М.А. , ПЛОТНИКОВ В.В. , ПЛОТНИКОВ Н.В. , КУЧМЕЗОВ Р.Н. 
Published: June 2024

Данное исследование нацелено на ретроспективный анализ факторов криминализации общества в период эпидемии COVID-19. Авторы исходят из следующих смысловых установок. Пандемия как социальное явление – это однозначно деструктивный, дестабилизирующий ситуацию в обществе фактор, и одним из последствий пандемии является повешение уровня предрасположенности членов общества к совершению преступлений. При этом ряд последствий пандемии для значимых социальных институтов продолжит свое развитие. В условиях, когда большая часть общественных институтов получили ущерб от событий, связанных с пандемией, и вступили на путь активной адаптации, общество пребывает в состоянии перманентного адаптационного кризиса, характеризующегося нарушением согласованности основных социальных сфер. В этих условиях активизируются социальные риски, происходит подрыв ряда защитных, социально-сберегающих механизмов. В то же время структурные изменения в обществе инициируют не только количественные сдвиги в преступной сфере, но и ее качественное изменение, связанное с возникновением новых типов преступлений и трансформацией уже существующих. Опираясь на указанный тезис, в статье анализируется совокупность социокультурных и институциональных факторов изменения динамики противоправной деятельности.
This study provides a retrospective analysis of the factors of criminalization of society during the COVID-19 epidemic. The authors proceed from the following semantic attitudes. A pandemic as a social phenomenon is a uniquely destructive, destabilizing factor in society, and one of the consequences of a pandemic is the increase of predisposition of members of society to commit crimes. At the same time, structural changes in society initiate not only quantitative changes in the criminal sphere, but also its qualitative change, associated with the emergence of new types of crimes and the transformation of existing ones. Based on this thesis, the article analyzes the totality of social, cultural, and institutional factors that change the dynamics of illegal activity.
THE RUSSIAN POPULATION’S TRUST IN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
Authors: ЛИТВИНА К.Я. 
Published: June 2024

В современных динамично меняющихся условиях развития российской экономики происходят значительные изменения в финансовом поведении населения, которое является прямым отражением доверия населения финансовым институтам. Исследователями в качестве основных детерминант, влияющих на изменение финансового поведения населения, выделяются объективные и субъективные факторы. К объективным факторам относят сложившиеся в экономике страны данные по таким показателям, как инфляция, ключевая ставка, реальные располагаемые доходы населения, валютный курс национальной валюты, объём денежной массы в стране и др. К субъективным факторам относят внутренние убеждения и ожидания населения относительно развития экономики страны, деятельности финансовых институтов, стремления к финансово грамотному поведению, культурные и иные индивидуальные поведенческие установки актора. Именно субъективные факторы, определяющие доверие или недоверие финансовым институтам в нашей стране, представляют главный интерес в области социального анализа поведения акторов. В статье исследуется доверие граждан финансовым институтам, причины формирования определенного уровня доверия финансовым институтам, а также влияние сформировавшегося уровня доверия населения на социально-экономическое развитие страны.
The modern rapidly changing conditions of the development of the Russian economy causes significant changes in the financial behavior of the population, directly reflecting the public's trust in financial institutions. The change in the financial behavior of the population is influenced by many factors, among which researchers distinguish objective and subjective. Objective factors include the level of inflation, interest rates, the state of financial institutions, monetary income, exchange rate, money supply. Subjective factors include the expectation of the population regarding the development of the country's economy, the level of trust in financial institutions, and the desire to accumulate funds. The field of social analysis of the behavior of actors is particularly interested in the subjective factors that determine the level of trust or distrust in financial institutions in Russia. This paper examines the trust of the Russian citizens in financial institutions, the reasons for the formation of a certain level of trust in financial institutions, as well as the impact of the formed level of public confidence on the socio-economic development of the country.
SOCIAL IDENTITY IN THE DISCOURSE OF THE RISKOLOGICAL APPROACH
Authors: МУХА В.Н. 
Published: June 2024

Статья посвящена теоретическому анализу феномена социальной идентичности с позиций рискологического подхода. Обосновывается необходимость научного осмысления идентификационных рисков в виду изменчивости, неопределенности современного социума. В статье представлен анализ основных направлений в исследовании рисков, структуру и характеристики риска. Определено, что риск является сложным социальным образованием, сочетающим в себе объективные и субъективные параметры. Рассмотрены особенности социальных и социокультурных рисков. Утверждается, что социокультурные риски влияют на самосознание и идентификационные процессы личности и этноса. Идентификационные риски – это угрозы, вызываемые созданием или поддержанием социальной идентичности, а многоуровневневость социальной идентичности определяет ряд рисков для каждого уровня. Проводится анализ рисков на уровне национально-гражданской идентичности, рассматриваются сложности формирования этнической идентичности, характеризуются вызовы для религиозной идентичности, а также сложности оформления региональной и цивилизационной идентичностей. Делается вывод о том, что риски на разных уровнях взаимопересекаются и взаимодополняются, становятся не только вызовом идентичности, но и необходимым компонентом социального развития.
The paper provides a theoretical analysis of the phenomenon of social identity in accordance with the riskological approach. The necessity of academic comprehension of identification risks in view of variability and uncertainty of modern society is substantiated. The article presents the analysis from the main directions to study of risks, the structure and characteristics of risk. It is determined that risk is a complex social formation, combining objective and subjective parameters. The features of social and sociocultural risks are considered. It is argued that sociocultural risks affect the self-consciousness and identification processes of the individual and ethnos. Identification risks are threats caused by the creation or maintenance of social identity, and the multilevel nature of social identity determines a number of risks for each level. Risks for national-civil, ethnic, regional, religious, civilizational identities are analyzed. The author concludes that risks at different levels intersect and complement each other, risk becomes a challenge to identity, but also necessary for social development.

As residências em saúde buscam promover a formação de recursos humanos para o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) com foco na atuação interdisciplinar. Entretanto, nos cenários de aprendizagem das residências em saúde, a hegemonia biomédica ainda é predominante, repercutindo na ausência de iniciativas regulares de formação pedagógica compartilhadas entre os programas de residência médica e multiprofissional. Considerando que a colaboração interprofissional é imprescindível para o cuidado integral dos indivíduos e coletividade, a pesquisa objetivou compreender a percepção de preceptores e residentes sobre a colaboração interprofissional entre os programas de Residência Médica e Multiprofissional em Pediatria de um hospital pediátrico da rede pública de saúde no município de Fortaleza-Ceará. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, exploratório de métodos mistos, onde foram aplicados questionários (composto por 06 questões em escala tipo likert e 01 questão dissertativa) em 81 preceptores e residentes. Para apreciação dos dados, realizou-se a análise estatística descritiva e inferencial, bem como a análise de conteúdo categorial temática das respostas dissertativas, para apreciar o campo dos imaginários vigentes apresentados pelos participantes do estudo. Os principais resultados demonstraram que preceptores e residentes reconhecem e valorizam a formação colaborativa e interprofissional, entretanto, é significativa a diferença de percepção entre os atores dos dois programas. Constatou-se que as práticas interdisciplinares e colaborativas são pouco efetivadas nos cenários de prática, pois entendemos que os espaços institucionais formais são insuficientes para a execução da integração entre os programas. Conforme os residentes e preceptores entrevistados no presente estudo, faz-se necessário que nestes cenários de prática sejam efetivadas mais iniciativas de colaboração interprofissional para promover a interdisciplinaridade. No âmbito teórico sugere-se a integração de currículos e para enriquecer as experiências de aprendizagem.
