Do social networks bridge political divides? The analysis of VKontakte social network communication in Ukraine
2014
New electronic forms of political communication have become increasingly popular in countries with weak democratic institutions. The effectiveness of these new forms of association in altering political behavior, however, remains uncertain even in developed democratic regimes. This paper investigates connections between regional variation in electoral behavior and regional distribution of electronic social networks in the case of Ukraine's polarized and institutionally unstable democracy. Our analysis of online networks shows that, somewhat contrary to conventional wisdom, electronic communication does not bridge political divides. This finding casts doubt on the effectiveness of online for…
PERSOC: A Unified Framework for Understanding the Dynamic Interplay of Personality and Social Relationships
2011
The interplay of personality and social relationships is as fascinating as it is complex and it pertains to a wide array of largely separate research domains. Here, we present an integrative and unified framework for analysing the complex dynamics of personality and social relationships (PERSOC). Basic principles and general processes on the individual and dyadic level are outlined to show how personality and social relationships influence each other and develop over time. PERSOC stresses the importance of social behaviours and interpersonal perceptions as mediating processes organized in social interaction units. The framework can be applied to diverse social relationships such as first en…
Il servizio sociale: ponte e porto relazionale
2020
Il servizio sociale è una professione che si declina attraverso le sue determinanti relazionali e che tende ad operare in termini di mediazione. Tra le caratteristiche specifiche della professione vi è la potenzialità di rappresentare, per le persone che vi ricorrono, tanto un porto, nel senso di rifugio, quanto un ponte, nel senso di collegamento. Come per i ponti e porti reali, la professione del servizio sociale deve costantemente e attentamente essere oggetto di “manutenzione", per far sì che le competenze dei professionisti rendano possibile un sostanziale riorientamento dei modi di intendere e configurare i rapporti di aiuto e di promozione umana.

International audience; Differences of achievement in school, traditionally studied by researchers in Education, can be analyzed in terms of skills and especially social skills. This scientific field is under construction but social skills are becoming a compulsory notion for actors of the school system and for Educational Sciences.Through a multidisciplinary approach, this article proposes to study the determinants of social skills using social and educational indicators widely borrowed into the explanation of the differences of achievement models, with associated self-image, neuroticism and relationship with school measures. Indeed, these three dimensions are involved in the socialization…
Health Promotion Interventions in Sports Clubs: Can We Talk About a Setting-Based Approach? A Systematic Mapping Review
2019
Many researchers and authorities have recognized the important role that sports clubs can play in public health. In spite of attempts to create a theoretical framework in the early 2000s, a thorough understanding of sports clubs as a setting for health promotion (HP) is lacking. Despite calls for more effective, sustainable, and theoretically grounded interventions, previous literature reviews have identified no controlled studies assessing HP interventions in sports clubs. This systematic mapping review details how the settings-based approach is applied through HP interventions in sports clubs and highlights facilitators and barriers for sports clubs to become health-promoting settings. In…

2018
After toppling the 61-year dominant Barisan Nasional through a historic election victory in May 2018, expectations are high for the new ruling government led by Mahathir Mohamad and the Pakatan Harapan to fulfil their promises for socio-economic reforms and regime change in Malaysia. But what have been the institutions of the prevailing regime that need to be reformed and changed? This article offers a critical review of the evolving development agendas since the 1990s of the successive governments of Mahathir Mohamad, Abdullah Badawi, and Najib Razak, each couched in different catchphrases: Wawasan 2020, Islam Hadhari, and 1Malaysia. A close reading of these programs suggests that their su…

Laboratorium udręki wzajemnego bytowania na podstawie "Matki" Stanisława Ignacego Witkiewicza
2016
The topie of my article is solitude of the titled mother in the drama of Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz. The play was organized in Cracow’s The National Old Theatre by a magnificent and, unfortunately, deceased artist - Jerzy Jarocki. It is rare to experience such a piece of art where all human feelings are, in a radical way, mocked and rotten. Witkacy overemphasizes a motif of a widów mother - used by their children. It helped him in reaching a comic effect and ridiculing his characters. The Mother is an unpleasant play. In a fiction layer it shaped in a form of a parody of a psychological family drama, kept in poetics grotesąue poetics. Witkacy, obsessed with exposing the lowest human instin…
