Using present-absent effective targeted chaos and independent rule of law theory where the true majority view(T) competes with the true minority view(M) for access to power, the structure of two forms of liberal democracies and permanent authoritarianism can be stated as follows,
where
E = effective targeted chaos present,
e = effective targeted chaos is absent,
I = Fully independent rule of law system is present,
i = fully captured independent legal system = Fully non-independent legal system
Normal liberal democracy = NLD = (T.M)(eI)
Extreme liberal democracy = ELD = (T.M)(EI)
Permanent authoritarianism = PA = (T.M)(Ei)
So the question: Can you see how the structure of the death of liberal democracies can be stated in terms of effective targeted chaos and fully captured independent legal systems?
What do you think?
You are families with coming and going of exism movements like Brexism 2016-2024, Trumpism 2016-2020, Brazilianism 2019-2023, and other exism movements still active out there, and this raises the question, Can exism movements gain power and/or remain in power without the existence of effective targeted chaos?
I think No. What do you think?
Since 2016 Brexit, the world needed to change the thinking behind traditional democracy as the democratic landscape changed, yet traditional democratic thinkers and actors have been acting as if the competition for power is STILL BETWEEN NORMAL DEMOCRATIC OUTCOMES that are happy to live within an independent rule of law system, when it is no longer the case as now a new variable came into play, legal targeted chaos, that when effective it is a game changer as it leads to extreme democratic outcomes that should be expected to be unhappy living under an independent rule of law system. To be able to answer general questions as the one here, we need to rethink democracy thinking.
And this raises the question: In terms of chaos, what is the necessary and sufficient condition for authoritarianism, permanent or temporary, to come to exist and persist?
What do you think is the answer to this question is from the point of view of just CHAOS?
Perfect democracy thinking assumes no chaos so no need for independent rule of law system and liberal democracies assume the possibility of normal democratic chaos that can be sorted out by an independent rule of law system.
So when rethinking democracy we have to think now about normal chaos, targeted chaos, and effective targeted chaos affecting voting complacency under an independent rule of law system so we can explain both the coming and going of normal and extreme democratic outcomes within liberal democracies in terms of normal and extreme democratic outcome competition....,
And this raises a key current question that was made relevant by the coming and going of 2016 Brexit/Brexism and 2016 Usexit/Trumpism:
What is effective targeted chaos?
What do you think?
Keep in mind: This is an academic question, not a political one.
You see internal and external dynamics in majority rule-based countries with actual extreme democratic outcomes at play and in countries with want to be extreme democratic outcome around, all majority ruled based countries, but even though this has been going on since just before 2016 BREXIT and 2016 USEXIT and continues today with the coming of an extreme democratic outcome in Argentina...
Yet politicians in normal democratic outcome run countries have not yet CLEARLY figured out that the idea that DEMOCRACY is a mess within democratic competitors like NORMAL DEMOCRATIC OUTCOME AGAINS NORMAL DEMOCRATIC OUTCOME, where both are normal democratic outcomes with the best interest of the majority at hand but different approach has CHANGED as when competition is between A NORMAL DEMOCRATIC OUTCOME VERSUS AN EXTREME DEMOCRATIC OUTCOME the nature of the MESS changes as the extreme democratic outcome is not restricted or bound or it does not believe in the democratic values and rules under which it is born; and hence, cometition has a different structure. Hence, the way democratic outcomes compete with extreme democratic outcome needed to change since 2016, but it has not changed yet.
It seems normal democratic outcome run countries appear to be still following normal democratic theory when competing with EXTREME DEMOCRATIC THEORY/ exism theory, which indicates why they have been more often than expected been taken victim of the Murphy’s law under efficient targeted chaos.
Hence, everything changes when we shift from normal democratic outcome to extreme democratic outcome in majority ruled based countries, both internally (extreme democratic outcome vrs normal democratic outcome) and externally (extreme democratic outcome-based country versus normal democratic outcome-based country, and there is a reason to rethink to keep democratic norms where the best interest of the majority, not the minority, rules under majority rule democratic based systems.
And this raises the question: Does paradigm exism theory explain why normal democratic outcome-based countries should not be expected to get along with extreme democratic outcome-based countries?
What do you think? What is your view on the answer to this question.
Many researchers use the term of effect or impact but I think the have to use only relationship. What is your opinion?
Doubling down on the traditional economic thinking that as documented by the WCED 1987 led to the critical social and environmental sustainability problems of the day they tried to fix with sustainable development thinking and according to the UNCSD 2012 Rio +20 had led to the environmental sustainability problem they prioritized to fix with green market thinking or to manage it through dwarf green market thinking, just by making it circular. If you bend a line with dots as problems and make it a circle, the circle still has the dots problems that are or were on the line
.
Hence, defining traditional economic thinking as circular does not solve the problems associated with it and it goes against the paradigm evolution rules that Thomas Kuhn advance as IT GOES FROM STATUS QUO PARADIGM(Broken circularity by assumption based traditional economic thinking/Economy only market) TO STATUS QUO PARADIGM(Circularity based traditional economic thinking/Economy only market) WITHOUT REMOVING THE ABNORMALITIES CREATING THE SUSTAINABILITY PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE WORKING OF THE STATUS QUO PARADIGM, abnormalities that now 2024 are in worse state than in 1987.
Just calling something green does no make it environmentally friendly like defining pollutants as non-pollutants does not make them environmentally friendly, they are still pollutants or just by calling a pollution production market a circular market does not stop it from being a pollution production market.
Going from linear traditional capitalism to circular traditional capitalism when we should be in higher level paradigms as the WCED 1987 indicated as the social and environmental system continue to deteriorate to extreme points feeds in the pretending story that is being used and will be used to justify overthrowing capitalism to save society and the environment from total destruction from, what it will be called, by an out of control circular capitalism.
And this leads to the question, should we expect the imposition of circular economy-based capitalism to lead to a tsunami of different types of Marxism threats in the future all over the world as social and environmental systems deteriorate to critical points?
I think Yes, what do you think?
Notice, this is an academic question, not a political one
Respectfully, at least the modern version of liberalism is the natural result of the equality thesis that still acknowledges heritability to further diversity, equity and inclusion. Whereas conservatism directly denies heritability or dodges the question. Also conservatism does less to oppose racial animosity. Hence why liberalism usually wins being both more fair and more sustainable. Also the metaphysics of liberalism(universalist Christianity) are stronger. Plus Universal Eternal Salvation is the most parsimonious afterlife.

It is possible, using dominant system equality and freedom theory to map the structure of the market model in China before and after the fall of red socialism in 1991, and this raises the question, Can you see the structure of the 1991 flip from red socialism to non-democratic capitalism in China in terms of equality and freedom?
If you can see the structure of the flip please share it.
Respectfully yours;
Lucio
Note:
It is best stating the structure of red socialisl and non-democratic capitalism in terms of equality and freedom separately and then comparing them to see the context of the 1991 flip in those terms
Dear Ange, good day, Thank you for writing and see you are familiar with related material by me. My goal this year is to expand those ideas in terms of equality and freedom.
I have written and share several articles on how to give structure to all possible dominant component based development models, and link those structures to paradigm shift and paradigm shift theory from the point of view of dominant component equality and freedom.... For example, red socialism as you know it is a social equality without freedom model so you can represent it by a social dictatorship structure. Democratic capitalism is an economic freedom without equality model so you can represent it as a liberal economy model. Non-democratic capitalism is an economy without freedom and equality so you can represent it as an economic dictatorship.
Once you know how to write or express those structures in terms of dominant component equality and freedom, then you can provide analytical support to all the things you listed in your comment as well as be able to answer the current question using this freedom and equality thinking.
One of my goals this year is to expand these ideas and apply them for example to state the paradigm evolution path of red socialism had it had been able to win the cold war by going economy friendly and what would have come next and what is at the end or to state the paradigm evolution path of non-democratic capitalism if it were to outsmart democratic capitalism and what would come next and what is at the end or what is the paradigm evolution path of democratic capitalism if it loses to non-democratic capitalism and what comes next and what is at the end.
Attached I shared the figure 3 of a paper I am working on to present the theory on where to base and complete those goals of the year mentioned above, notice that democratic capitalism(DC), red socialism(RS), and non-democratic capitalism(NDC) are not yet represented there in terms of equality and freedom yet:
How the models needed to answer the relevant question here can be stated in terms of equality and freedom and how paradigm evolution in this case is expected to work can be found at:
Sustainability thoughts 151: An overview of market variability based on dominant component equality and freedom: What is the structure of a true perfect market?
Sustainability thoughts 152: How to highlight the four market structures that dominant component markets can have in terms of equality and freedom variability when under externality neutrality assumptions and without them?
Sustainability thoughts 138: How does a general red socialism market evolution model is expected to work? The cases of expanding red socialism, of saving red socialism from collapse, and the case of the fall of red socialism due to binding economic sustainability pressures
Sustainability thoughts 135: How can a general paradigm evolution model aimed at capturing all possible market evolution routes in response to binding sustainability gap pressures be stated step by step?
Desde mi punto de vista la desestructuración familiar puede afectar a la hora de generar adicciones en el individuo ligado a la escasez de recursos personales y sociales.
We know that the increasing frequency and severity of climate change phenomena while we are under dwarf green market based environmental pollution management will sooner or later lead to green Marxism challenges to dwarf green capitalism as a way to protect nature from capitalism and restore it.
We know the structure and meaning of red socialism and of green Marxism, but what about that of yellow Marxism or socio-environmental socialism or yellow manifesto, which raises the question; What is the structure and meaning of yellow Marxism/yellow socialism?

Communication is the key-word for both COVID causes and effects. Consequently, "life will not be the same" for the Social Sciences too. Researchers will soon want to develop a broader vision and new perspectives. This question is an invitation to brainstorm the future of the social paradigm.
Social memory is, according to Halbwachs, a social construct. In this sense, the dialogues between social forms and their contents can directly reflect on the modulation of individual and collective memory.
I'm investigating the role of diasporas in impact investments schemes, including social exchanges. Any related references would be helpful.
Thanks in advance!
Alcohol is associated with many diseases- pancreatic cancer, cirrhosis,etc and also violence, accidents and social breakdown
And yet, many in our Society are able to control their intake. And many abstain for religious reasons.
On balance, is it more harmful than useful?
Is it not time to re-consider its use?
What are your thoughts on this matter?
Social dialogue has a long history of achievements, at least in Europe. Is it not a phenomena of the past? What do You think about its future?
Nowadays social and, especially, humanitarian sciences are losing influence. If You agree with this, can You describe the reasons for that?
We all know about the traditional perfect market of Adam Smith and its place at the heart of pure or perfect capitalism.
We usually associate perfect market thinking with no government intervention unless there is market failure, but the perfect market of Adam Smith, like any other possible perfect market, can better be defined in terms of equality and freedom so as to be able to link it for example to imperfect markets such as dictatorship based markets or link it to distorted markets from the democracy point of view, which leads to the question, what is the conjunctural necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of perfect markets for example a la Adam Smith?
Feel free to provide your views, and keep in mind the angle of this question is “equality and freedom”, not government intervention or supply and demand interactions, even though they are linked.
This is an academic question, not a political one, and as usual my questions usually have a simple answer.
Likert scale is commonly used in social and behavioral sciences. The matter is whethere there is a condition that a single item in the measurement could be used for analysis and provide meaningful data.
It is seen that some people are reluctant to admit their own mistakes .
Do they feel their social dignity/ prestige are in danger ? On the other hand they should know that one can make fool to somebody for sometime but the all time . In my view these people should change their mind . One
should borne in mind that research is not for individual but for development of knowledge to explore hidden idea.
Do you agree ?
The nature of the social rights are always different to the other freedom ?
When social rights are contained in Constitution is it possible to justify this different approach ?
Are social rights considered only of the rights that cost or of the rights that impose a service?
Perfect market thinking can be applied to one dominant component based markets or to two dominant component based markets and to three dominant component based markets.
Adam Smith's market, the perfect traditional market is a one dominant component based market as it is an economy only market so it it is a perfect economy market.
Red socialism was a one dominant component based market too as it was a society only market, but it was not a perfect social market?, which raises the question, Why was the red socialism market not a perfect social market?
This is an academic question, not a political one. I expect a simple answer, what do you think?
Working on a theory of paradigm shift and flips that is linked to equality and freedom it is possible to see clearly the structure of markets, including deep social markets and red socialism/communism based markets….
This understanding helps us see the options available to markets in terms of flips or shifts when under specific sustainability gap pressures, and it allows us to see which option they would exercise if they have a choice before paradigm death/collapse like the one we saw in 1991 related to the fall of Karl Marx's world/Red socialism.
From this angle, knowing the difference between different types of markets, especially close ones, is very relevant.
Looking at the deep social markets and red socialism/communism based markets, raises the question, can you see what was or is the difference between deep social markets and red socialism/communism based markets?
If you think you can see it please share it or describe it so we can exchange ideas.
Paradigm death, shift and flip expectation theory suggest that a perfect paradigm flips to take the form of the perfect inverse opposite paradigm, and when it does that the order of political and legal loyalty flips at the same time. And when, the opposite process takes place, the inverse is expected to happen.
When the capitalism a la Adam Smith model(TM = aBc) was flipped in 1848 to take the form of the Karl Marx red socialism model(KM = Abc) the order of political and legal loyalty that existed in the pure capitalism system then was flipped to the inverse political and legal loyalty that existed in red socialism countries during the period of red socialism(1848-1991).
Yet in 1991, when red socialism fell and China flipped back to pure capitalism, China did not flip its political and legal loyalty structure to that of Adam Smith’s capitalism structure, but kept the one it had from the old red socialism era.
And this raises the question, why was China able to flip back to pure capitalism in 1991 after the fall of red socialism and still maintain intact the order of political and legal loyalty that it had before the fall?
Any ideas? Please, share them, but Please keep in mind, this is an academic question, not a political one.
The fall of red socialism in 1991 led to the flip in those countries from social responsibility to economic responsibility as the paradigm shift from red socialism to economy friendly red socialism that Karl Marx probably had in mind in the long term did not materialize.
This flip of responsibilities in 1991 led to the coming of the new members of the capitalism family, cementing for once, the two current families of pure capitalism, democratic capitalism and non-democratic capitalism.
The flip from pure capitalism to red socialism since 1848 was a flip from economic responsibility to social responsibility, which shifted the loyalty structures found in pure capitalism.
The flip back from red socialism to pure capitalism in 1991 was a flip from social responsibility to economic responsibility, which maintained the loyalty structures as they were.
Had red socialism shifted to economy friendly red socialism, then the loyalties in those countries would have shifted to the same structure of loyalty in pure capitalism countries, and authoritarian parties and leaders would have fallen as a consequence of the paradigm shift.
Hence, the loyalty structures of a system may change or may remain the same as a result of paradigm flips up and paradigm flips back or due to paradigm shifts.
Therefore, there is a link between the direction of paradigm dynamics and loyalty structures in the systems affected by sustainability or responsibility pressures, so the question:
“Democratic capitalism and non-democratic capitalism: Do they have the same political and legal loyalty structure?”
What do you think? Can you see the political and legal loyalty structure in those two systems?
Feel free to share your views.
This is an academic question, not a political one.
If there are sustainability gaps, then there are market illusions as well as broken circular economic structures.
Hence there is a market illusion associated with red socialism/Karl Marx and with pure capitalism/Adam Smith as each of these models has specific sustainability gaps embedded in them.
Can you see these market illusions, the red socialism market illusion and the pure capitalism market illusion?
Please provide your own views on the question, I will appreciate that.
I am looking for research results, scientific articles, tips which factors affect on Industry 4.0 implementation and spread of using in practice.

Is the working of old democracy another unintended consequence of paradigm shift?
Is it right to consider the 2012-2019 period a loss in terms of green economic thinking and action?
Can extreme democratic outcomes like BREXIT and USEXIT persist in the absence of chaos?
Is a normal democratic outcome at the end of both BREXIT and USEXIT?
Will the corona virus’s painful experience lead to another push towards fully socially friendly capitalism?
Will the recovery of the pro-rich growth economy need a trickle up push from a direct trickle down program?
Under which conditions will the rich/corporations welcome extreme government intervention like direct trickle downs?
Does the coming of direct trickledowns means the end of traditional conservatism?
Can elite or dominant component action or inaction be explained through the theory of entanglements?
What are the implications of trading social responsibility for economic responsibility?
Can extreme liberal democratic outcomes such as USEXIT/BREXIT exist without a nationalist blanket?
Can BREXIT and USEXIT be considered to be fake extreme democratic outcomes?
Production levels and production prices in red socialist countries, where do they or did they meet?
Why do you think we shifted to partially clean green markets in 2012 instead of fully clean ones?
Do you know what the structure of the perfect green market is?

Global Studies of Childhood
Special Issue: Children’s Art in Times of Crisis
Expressions of Interest due February 1, 2020
Editors: Monica Eileen Patterson (Carleton University) and Hannah Dyer (Brock University)
This special issue of Global Studies of Childhood focuses on children’s art and its relation to social crises. Child Studies scholars, psychologists, educators, clinicians, and curators have long held that making art helps children process and socialize difficult experience. This special issue explores the affective, aesthetic, emotional, social, and political processes involved in the making and sharing of art, placing emphasis on the potential for art to offer insight into the circumstances, consequences, and urgencies of crisis.
Keywords and key topics:
Trauma and memory Aesthetic expression
Drawing, sculpture, painting, comics, crafts, photography
Bio-politics and war
Carceral states and surveillance Colonialism, genocide, imperialism
Climate change and environmental disaster
Race, racism, and racialization
Homophobia or trans-exclusions
Internment and detention
Migration and border-crossing
Galleries, museums, bedrooms, kitchens, classrooms, and community centres
We welcome submissions adjacent to (but not limited to) the following questions:
* What new affective, epistemological, and political frameworks emerge out of children’s art during/after political crises? What new knowledge and insight might be gained by attending carefully to children’s art that responds to crises?
* How is children’s art interpreted and received by those around them? How and for whom is it produced? How has it been mobilized for particular interests and agendas? How can it best be engaged and understood?
* How is violence (material and symbolic) expressed in and understood through children’s art? * How does making art allow children to disrupt ahistorical and universalizing definitions of childhood?
* What is the power of children’s art as a form of witness to the impact of injustice that demands or evokes affective response in its viewers?
* How do children not interpolated by normative developmental theory express their needs and desires through art?
Expressions of interest:
Please email an abstract of 500-800 words (including key references) and a short bio of each author to guest editors by Feb. 1, 2020 at artintimesofcrisis@gmail.com .

Curious about the idea, that philanthropically-minded entrepreneurs can help to diffuse/institutionalize social innovation due to their belonging to at least two matured fields of business and philantrophy, bridging multiple institutional logics, creating boundary spanning networks and pushing entrepreneurial experimentalism through patient philanthropic capital.
What do you think?
If entrepreneurship is a mindset then social entrepreneurship is also just a mindset or anything more? To answer this question I felt one more dimension to this problem is the personality trait, then further I introspected then felt no more than personality a social entrepreneur should be a person with skills, but cannot be just being emotional.
Psychological fatigue with social distancing is emerging as a major challenge for curbing a pandemic now into its eighth month. That’s especially so among young adults who are less fearful of the coronavirus, and suffer greater economic and social costs when they stay home.

A good student-teacher-relationship and a good class climate are important factors for both student learning outcomes and students' social and emotional development.
For a research project I am searching for a self-rating-scale for teachers to rate their own actions to promote a good student-teacher-relationship. The scale should cover important aspects like:
- Showing interest in / caring for students' emotional state
- Showing interest in students' activities outside the classroom
- Preventing/reducing disruptive/aggressive behavior and conduct problems (in order to promote a comfortable classroom climate for everyone)
- Consider students' needs and preferences when planning lessons and other classroom activities
- ...
Does anyone know a well evaluated scale that has already been used?
Of course, it would be possible to construct some items and use them as a scale. However, it would be great if results could be compared acrosse studies and countries - therefore an existing scale would be great.
In face to an imperfectly known future, entrepreneurs must proceed by trial-and-error. It is known that there are typically many failures for one success (see, e.g, the excellent book by Tim Harford: 'Adapt - Why success always start with failure'). For business entrepreneurship, there is the feedback of bankruptcies, but where is the feedback for institutional entrepreneurs? I can only think of social crises - with the extreme example of Lenin and Stalin for whom this feedback took 70 years to work. Is any of the scholars working with problems of institutional entrepreneurs examining this problem?
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has disrupted the world with a heavy toll on human lives and economic activities. Its rapid global spread has and continues to affect millions of people. The countries most affected by the virus have experienced a heavy burden on their healthcare systems and witnessed shortages of medical equipment, medication and sanitary materials. Globally, most countries have been forced to adopt strict measures to fight coronavirus. In addition to following World Health Organisation recommendations to test widely, contact trace, and quarantine, most countries have adopted measures such as total lockdowns, stay at home to save lives campaigns, and travel and movement restrictions, social or physical distancing and handwashing. What could be observed is that most of the solutions to this pandemic has been offered by medical experts based on their epidemiological studies, mainly to flatten the epidemic curve. Unfortunately, the medical driven solutions have been problematic in the context of overcrowding, poverty, and weak health-care systems not just in developing countries but also in developed countries. The Medical sponsored interventions place a heavy toll on the informal economic and casual labour sector and success depends on a particular country's political leadership, socioeconomic realities, and epidemic stage. COVID-19 presents more than a health problem i.e “a state in which a person is unable to function normally and without pain” because a person can in some cases function normally and without pain with COVID-19. It presents social problem, defined broadly as “a condition that has negative consequences for large numbers of people and that is generally recognized as a condition that needs to be addressed.” It requires mainly social solutions. This understanding will shift the paradigm from medical to social. The paper is of a view that the ways in which a problem is perceived and judged strongly affect the kind of solution suggested, so far the solutions are short term, unsustainable and medical in design. Further, COVID -19 requires social solutions based on people’s perceptions of the social problem, exiting social conditions, and people’s perception of their desired quality of life.

I have a 2(within)x2(within)x2(within)x2(within)-subjects design where I failed to conduct a (post hoc) power analysis.
My within-subjects-factors are as follows: - Knowledge (High vs. Low) - Motivation (High vs. Low) - Social Level (Self vs. Co vs. Shared) - Strategy Type (Cognitive vs. Motivational)
I already conducted two studies with this design. For the first study, I had N = 278 participants, for the second, I had N = 144 participants.
Could someone please give me the name of any programm that can do power analysis with so many factors?

Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a research about the CSR of a company.
I have evaluated the company's level of commitment in CSR activities through questionnaire-based surveys, and I have collected 52 responses from company's employees. I have already conducted a descriptive statistics but I would like to carry out a hypothesis test. I am trying to answer the following question:
"Does the company focus more on the social or environmental dimension of CSR?"
On the bases of the literature, companies pay more attention to social issues rather than environmental. So my hypothesis would be:
companies focus more on the social dimension of the CSR rather than the environmental.
As I said I based my CSR evaluation on the judgement of the company's employees, which rated some socially/environmentally responsible activities on a scale from 1 to 5. Hence I have certain scores with respect to environmental aspect, and certain scores with respect to the social aspect.
In light of this, how can I run a hypothesis test using SPSS?
Thank you for your time.
What social and economic impacts of COVID-19 pandemic are you observing in your country as a migrants receiving or sending country?
Is it possible to say that the arguments in this direction are not very strong?
When a community’s life, with its cultural-social level, generates a kind of spatial pattern in formation, there are two processes that move in parallel: the first generates differences in the pattern of the local network system and reflects the specificity of cultural differences in the place; The second seeks to generate more inclusive community structures.
Consequently, social and cultural forces drive the wheel of architecture towards its local concepts, when it places its local practical imprint on its spaces, by defining its geometric forms and generating a distinctive pattern of differences in local models.
عندما تولد حياة مجتمع، بمستواها الثقافي ـ الاجتماعي، نوع من النمط المكاني في التشكيل، فأن هناك عمليتان تتحركان بصورة متوازية: الأولى تولد الاختلافات في نمط منظومة الشبكات المحلية وتعكس خصوصية الاختلافات الثقافية في المكان؛ والثانية تسعى إلى توليد هياكل مجتمعية أكثر شمولية. بالتالي تقود القوى الاجتماعية والثقافية، عجلة العمارة، نحو مفاهيمها المحلية، عندما تضع بصمتها العملية المحلية على فضاءاتها، عن طريق تحديد أشكالها الهندسية، وتولد نمطا مميزا من الاختلافات في نماذج محلية.
Well. Do You have some reference on how the triple-helix (government/academia/industry) has been working on social disasters (e.g. outbreaks, natural ones, so on)?
I'd like to know how the triple-helix is using innovations (open innovations, new technologies, new policies, and any thing like that, any sort of nature) to manage social or urban resilience.
Thanks!
I am undertaking a piece of research work on shifting place identities and wondered what philosophical lens you prefer - Social Construction / Phenomenology and why?
Families are the basic, foundational social units in all human communities around the world. Parents are their child’s first teachers. More than day care or other caregivers, most of their child’s learning happens at home with their family. Creating an environment where their child can learn the appropriate skills and values as well as learn how to socialize and be secure creates a solid foundation upon which their child can grow.
Is the COVID-19 pandemic going to decrease or affect social & Human science researches for the benefits of applied sciences researches?
and what is the level of effectiveness?
Im looking for research that uses position generator measures of social capital, developed by Lin & Dumin (1986), or similar information (social ties on a set of predefined occupations) using software specifically designed for network analysis (Ucinet mainly).
Thanks!

Tax reform is a crucial step in mobilizing revenue in developing countries. However, it is not a easy agenda to be implemented because of political and social challenges.
DV= EWB (comprises from 8 variables in dichotomous nature, based on yes and no)
IV= Social exclusion (comprises from 6 indicators and each indicator has 5-8 statements based on categorical and continuous data)
please write me the step wise procedure of the statistical tool and reference papers, books and videos link. I'll be highly thankful.
All talk about the physical and social effect of covid 19 we rarely discuss it from the moral side. It is time to reconsider our moral values.
I am doing social constructionist research on everyday life. There are so many books on qualitative research that it is hard to decide which one is among the top best ones. I am searching for a book that can be seemed like the best guide for qualitative research methods, data analysis and overall qualitative approach.
The social concern of school related gender based violence has been trending lately in various education research journals and discussions around psycho-social well being of learners. I need clarity on how this issue concerns the field of inclusive education?

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a pandemic by the WHO.
The structures of social contact critically determine the spread of the infection and, in the absence of vaccines, the control of these structures through large-scale social distancing measures appears to be the most effective means of mitigation. Here use an age-structured SIR model with social contact matrices obtained from surveys and Bayesian imputation to study the progress of the COVID-19 epidemic in India. The basic reproductive ratio R_0 and its time-dependent generalization are computed based on case data, age distribution and social contact structure. The impact of social distancing measures - workplace non-attendance, school closure, lockdown - and their efficacy with duration is then investigated. A three-week lockdown is found insufficient to prevent a resurgence and, instead, protocols of sustained lockdown with periodic relaxation are suggested. Forecasts are provided for the reduction in age-structured morbidity and mortality as a result of these measures. The study underlines the importance of age and social contact structures in assessing the country-specific impact of mitigatory social distancing.
I have been modeling and forecasting deaths, death rates, prevalence (active cases) and incidence (new cases) for international countries and U.S. states. Most recently it has been possible to propose safe dates when easing of social restrictions can be gradually implemented.
These can be found in postings (#13 and #12 for weekly updates and #11 for Social Easing) on the following. I invite comments and critiques.
I am proposing that social comparisons on social media will mediate the relationship between passive social media use and social anxiety, and that gender will moderate this association, such that 1. the effects of passive social media on social comparisons, and 2. the effects of social comparisons on social anxiety, both are stronger in females than males.
Managing the social and environmental impact of financial institutions
I need to analyse some data collected using the SF-12 Version 1 with the UK adaptation of 1 extra category for 'Social Function' (6 instead of 5) compared to the original US version.
Following extensive reading and literature searching I am unable to find the scoring algorithm for this UK SF-12 Version 1. I have found the US algorithm from Ware et al, 1995, but this only has 4 SF categories (and corresponding coefficients) where I need 5.
Through the literature search I identified a paper from 1997 by
Jenkinson, C. Development and testing of the UK SF-12 (short form health survey). Journal Health Services Research Policy 2(1) 14-18. From the abstract available online it looks as though this might provide the coefficients for the adapted UK version.
However, it is not available in our university library system so I have requested through inter-library loan - but I am not sure how long this will take and I need to complete this work within the next week.
If anyone can direct me to the appropriate algorithm, with the correct number of coefficients or link me to this article it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks and kind regards

any idea is appreciated
I believe COVID-19 pandemic will affect social scientists’ productivity during this outbreak. Because individuals are at home and surely their concern is not participating in a research/survey. Researchers may also be reluctant to conduct a study in this period. In this situation, lots of sub-questions may be discussed:
- How social scientists will collect data next year?
- Do you think the online survey method will be the prominent approach to collect data?
- Will the number of social sciences research decrease?
... etc.
Covid-19 spread is strongly related to social spreading. Global instructions demand for social distancing. More than ever before finding the right balance between privacy legislations and general interest is a topic for debate.
There are communications with Google and Facebook to get help by providing de-identified data in order to map social spreading now, tomorrow but perhaps as important based on the spreading of the last 60 days.
My question is: how to solve this? Are any groups or labs looking for a solution?
What is the general opinion on the value of open data related with social spreading?
Thanks

I think it is necessary to eradicate the exclusion. Social exclusion is a problem worldwide, whether due to rights, resources or basic capacities (labor market, education, etc.)
What are the key areas that we should be investigating?
Are there specific clinical interventions that require our urgent attention?
In my opinion, an egalitariam society is fairer than a feminist society because nowadays the modern feminist is not able to fight against inequality. From my view the egalitariam can fight for a egalitariam social than feminist whitout any type of discrimnation due to being born man or woman. what do you think about this?

Es un tema muy señalado en nuestra sociedad, que, a pesar de venir recogido en la C.E en su artículo 25.2 el condenado a pena de prisión gozará de los derechos fundamentales. En todo caso, tendrá derecho a un trabajo remunerado y a los beneficios correspondientes de la Seguridad Social, así como al acceso a la cultura y al desarrollo integral de su personalidad.
The Centers of social insertion in Spain are destined to the internal personnel that fulfill their sentences in an open regime (third degree).

Social exclusion is process by which certain groups are systematically advantaged because they are discriminated against on the basis of their ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, caste, descent, gender, age, disability, HIV status, migrant status or where they live. Discrimination occurs in public institutions, such as the legal system or education and health services, as well as social institutions like the household” .
Hello everyone,
I am right now working on a study with the aim to decode a regional ecosystem for social innovation by the means of a network analysis. Why? Goal is to position this research between merely agency and structuralist approaches which occured mostly in the past and and understand on how the single stakeholders of social innovation are embedded in a wider network and thus the consequences for the emergence and scale of social innovation
I am particularly interested in your experiences and advices for literature with the following:
- which measures did you apply to better the understanding of the collab. between the various actors in an ecosystem - I am particularly interested in qualitative measures getting more in detail about the type of collaboration: e.g. exchange of knowledge, financing etc.
- are there any frameworks on how to identify the different actors in a social innovation ecosystem? Right now I would go with a quadruple-helix approach (e.g. Carayannis et al. 2019) or similiar. But maybe you have experience with alternative approaches.
Thank you very much on your most welcome help!
What Frederick Taylor proposed is that man is a material object. What Elton May put forward is that man is a social being. Then Maslow came to divide the human needs, so is there a theory that can be seen in man otherwise?
