COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy among Ukrainians

2022

Šajā darbā tiek pētīta šaubu dinamika attiecībā uz Covid-19 vakcīnām, tās triangulējot starp trīs sfērām – personīgo, sociālo un politisko. Vakcīnu apšaubīšana tiek aplūkota plašākā kontekstā, skatot politiskā režīma maiņu Ukrainā vēsturiski izsekojot pēcpadomju periodam raksturīgas šaubas un to pastiprinājumu kopš Covid- 19 pandēmijas sākuma, kā arī šo šaubu mazināšanās kopš Krievijas-Ukrainas kara fāzes sākuma 2022. gadā. Vakcinācijas apšaubīšana aptver vakcinācijas plāna pārrunu procesus, iespējamo Covid-19 un vakcīnu riskus un ieguvumu, citu sociālo un politisko spiedienu izvērtēšanu. Šaubas par vakcīnām konceptuāli atrodas starp nevēlēšanos vakcinēties pandēmijas laikā un piekrišanu va…

Socio-economic differentiation in the post-communist rural Baltics : the case of three kolkhozes

2016

ABSTRACTThis paper uses longitudinal quantitative data to examine socio-economic differentiation in the rural Baltic areas after decollectivization. It argues that the rural social structure in the post-Soviet Baltics is best determined by two criteria: source of income (income from farming entrepreneurship or income from salaries) and land holdings. Four rural groups are identified: people getting their main income from farming can be differentiated into large landowners engaged in the commercial production of agricultural goods and people with small or medium-sized farms; and people earning their main income from wages can be separated into people with no farming activities and people who…

Masculinity in flux? : Male managers navigating between work and family

2020

The article sheds light on male managers’ experience as fathers in a post-Soviet context in Lithuania. This empirical study of 12 male managers’ experiences of work-family integration (WFI), their ways of coping with negative experiences, and the role of organizations in reducing conflict and enriching WFI, reveal the emergence of a new paternal identity: fathers who perceive their role as caregivers but for whom this is still subordinate to the dominant role of the breadwinner. Relying on their wife is a man’s dominant coping strategy. Organizations are perceived as family unfriendly. The managerial implications of the need for organizational support are discussed. peerReviewed

International Scientific Conference "Socio-Political and Religious Ideas and Movements in the 20th-21st Centuries", Latvia, Riga, 4-5 October 2018 : …

2018

The conference facilitated the exchange of ideas and the results of the latest studies on the reciprocity and significance of religious and socially political ideas (ideologies) in contemporary society. In the modern-day ever-changing political situation, an increasing danger to the safety and stability of society is caused by the manipulations of the seemingly traditional conceptions of ethical, religious and cultural values evident in the public discourse and media space. Under the impact of global processes, social anxiety and ethical disorientation facilitate a dangerous trend to trust the populist ideologies and quasi-religious ideas, as well as increase the level of radicalisation of …

European Socio-cultural Change and Generational Diversity in the Post-Soviet Workforce.

2016

In times of increased retirement age and senior employees staying in workforce longer, successfully managing generational differences in the workforce forms an increasingly important challenge for modern day management. In many ways, generations may vary in attitudes and approaches, reflecting deeper differences in their core values. This might be particularly true for the Post-Soviet countries, where earlier generations were educated and started their careers within a completely different socio-economic system. In this study we explore differences in approaches towards values and attitudes amongst four generations of retail sector employees – starting from those, who were still to great ex…

Intra-urban residential differentiation in the post-Soviet city: the case of Riga, Latvia

2014

Cities in many Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries have transformed rapidly since the political and socio-economic restructuring started in the early 1990s. Economi reforms, growing income inequalities, changes in housing system and selective residential mobility are resulting in increasing socio-spatial differentiation among urban neighbourhoods also in Riga. In addition, litt le is known about the ethnic dimension of intra-urban residential differentiation, despite the existence of sizeable minority populations. The focus on ethnicity is important, since Riga is the only capital city in the Baltic States where the ethnic majority is outnumbered by the non-Latvian minority. This p…
