Clinical Sociology and Moral Hegemony

2013

The article presents a critique of a dominant way of analysing gang conflict in Norwegian sociology. The research in question uses a rather crude Marxist analysis that could somehow fit any gang conflict in the country. However, this kind of analysis was gradually put in question first by professor Ottar Brox and his criticism of the moral hegemony by a group of Marxists gathered around the publication “Klassekampen” (“Class Struggle”). Then the analysis was challenged by gang-researchers who reached back to the classical study of Frederic M. Thrasher, finding the latter more fruitful for analysis. Antonio Gramsci (1891- 1937) who coined the term cultural hegemony used it to describe how a …

Dynamics of the caring family

2003

When several individuals simultaneously provide for offspring, as in families, the effort of any one individual will depend on the efforts of the other family members. This conflict of interest among family members is made more complicated by their relatedness because relatives share genetic interest to some degree. The conflict resolution will also be influenced by the differences in reproductive value between breeders and helpers. Here, we calculate evolutionarily stable provisioning efforts in families with up to two helpers. We explicitly consider that the behavioral choices are made in a life-history context, and we also consider how group sizes change dynamically; this affects, for ex…

Digging into group establishment: Intervention design and evaluation

2021

Previous research has documented challenges in students’ group work. An identifiable segment of the previous research that relates to improving students’ group work conditions is the study of group formation and self- and peer-assessment. Though studies that primarily focus on how to address the conditions of students’ group work and the existing problems can be found, there are not many related to higher education settings. On this ground, the present article advances a qualitative evaluation of the intervention that promotes student groups’ self-awareness and thereby self-regulation toward fair group work during a software engineering project. An inductive thematic analysis was applied to…

Feeling Exclusion

Romanians’ current perception of threat from immigrants in a context of co-ethnic migration: assessing the role of intergroup conflict and active/pas…

2017

AbstractThis paper investigates the predictors of natives’ perception of the immigrant threat in Romania, an interesting site given immigrants’ marginal presence in the total population and the sizeable proportion of co-ethnic immigrants. Yet the interplay between nationalism and religion shapes an ideological frame that favours unwelcoming attitudes towards immigrants that challenge the Romanian identity forged along ethnic and religious ties. The authors used regression to analyse immigrant threat according to several dimensions: cosmopolitanism, group conflict and intergroup contact. In order to reflect specificities of this particular context, the latter dimension is conceptualized so a…

International Law, War and Human Rights: The Humanitarian Response

2013

One of the most important issues in the international political and legal system comprises the interaction between human rights and humanitarian law. In particular, the separate treatment of such areas of law allows to delineate different contents and application procedures, while the joint consideration is not simple, in view of the reasons for which each of the two has been created. Humanitarian law is a set of rules of conduct limited to a political and legal situation pathological, and presumably temporary. Against this regulatory system, the international law of human rights is the establishment of a political and legal concept of man as endowed with certain inalienable rights that con…

Crossing the Atlantic at the turn of the Millennium: friends and foes

2022

Il saggio analizza le modalità dell'incontro tra un gruppo di Vichinghi e le popolazioni indigene delle coste orientali del Canada al momento della scoperta dell'America, intorno all'anno 1000, come narrato dalle saghe islandesi che ci hanno conservato la memoria di questi avvenimenti (Vinland Sagas). Documenti situabili a metà strada tra resoconti attendibili e fiction - un po' per la loro natura, un po' per le caratteristiche della trasmissione culturale norrena, e un po' per la distanza temporale tra gli eventi narrati e la loro registrazione in forma scritta - le saghe ci narrano di incontri e interazioni mossi principalmente da curiosità e desiderio di commerciare. Gli scontri, che pur…

Migrant family language practices and language policies in Finland

2011

This article investigates the language practices and language policies of an Indian migrant family in their daily life in Finland. The purpose of this paper is to consider the potential of an empirical case study on migration to understand the interrelationship between macro and micro analyses of language policies and practices. Though the migrant language instruction is encouraged and executed under the national language policy in Finland, the second generation of the Indian family was taught their parental languages at home. The family members resort to English as the principle language of communication in their daily life interaction with local inhabitants. The diachronic study further r…

Influència de la qualitat de les relacions interpersonals en el context laboral sobre la “síndrome d’esgotament professional o del cremat” (burnout).

2004

L'objectiu d'aquest estudi és analitzar els nivells de la síndrome d'esgotament professional (SEP) (burnout) en una mostra de policies municipals, i avaluar la influència que els conflictes interpersonals amb els ciutadans, juntament amb el suport social a la feina del supervisor i dels companys, tenen sobre les dimensions de la SEP i sobre la inclinació a l'absentisme. La mostra de l'estudi està formada per 149 policies municipals. La SEP es va avaluar amb el Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Els resultats obtinguts mitjançant anàlisi de regressió stepwise van indicar que la freqüència de conflictes interpersonals amb els ciutadans era un predictor significatiu de les tres dimensions del MB…

Regalismo e inmunidad eclesiástica en la España del siglo XVIII : la resistencia del clero valenciano a la imposición del estanco del tabaco

2007

El decreto de abolición de los fueros de los Reinos de Valencia y Aragón mantuvo vigente la normativa tradicional sobre la jurisdicción e inmunidad eclesiástica, ratificándose esta excepción en la Real Cédula de 7 de septiembre de 1707. Considerando que ello implicaba un reforzamiento de sus privilegios, los miembros de dicho estamento presentaron una intensa resistencia a la imposición del estanco del tabaco, que la monarquía contemplaba como una «regalía notoria» inherente a su soberanía. Inicialmente, la oposición fue asumida por la jerarquía eclesiástica y generó enfrentamientos jurisdiccionales de tal gravedad que Felipe V procedió a la emisión de disposiciones de carácter regalista en…
