Actual Movement

This article focuses on the different actors involved in the food sovereignty movement in the Navajo Nation. By first looking at the historical roots of colonization and western dominance over Indigenous lands and their food systems, I try to give some perspective on the actual movement to end colonization and capitalism. Both are seen as linked and are considered obstacles for the self-determination of the Navajos and Indigenous Peoples in general. The different actors involved (farmers, grassroots activists, intellectuals and academics) put forth food sovereignty as a key tool for decolonization. This might include a structural change in their political and economical lives, with interpersonal conflicts and frictions with the tribal government and the federal one. The tensions between the extractive economy, environmentalists and food sovereignty are present in the Navajo nation and impact their communities and the quality of their lives.

Insight Into

Suicide provided eunuchs with one of the few ways in which they could determine when they would permanently exit the system. Far from a solitary act, a eunuch’s suicide posed a risk to the imperial court, his family members, and his fellow eunuchs. This examination of how the Qing dealt with eunuch suicides provides insight into palace–eunuch labor relations, the complexities of unfree status, and further evidence of eunuchs pushing the boundaries of acceptable behavior as they attempted to express a degree of agency and self-determination in their lives. Qing suicide regulations reveal that eunuchs did not have the right to leave their positions whenever they chose, especially when it involved the possibility of leaving the palace for good through suicide.

The article discusses issues related to professional self-determination throughout life, as well as changing requirements for career guidance in the context of the transformation of social and labor relations under the influence of the factors of the fourth industrial revolution and the digital economy. There are presented the results of an empirical study of various social groups (schoolchildren, parents, teachers, students, working population). The requirements for professional self-determination are changing in modern conditions, and new subjects of professional self-determination are being identified. This article highlighted and described in detail the stages of professional self-determination (students in 7-9, 10, 11 grades, students of 1 and 4 courses (bachelor), employed, neet-young people, pre-retirees and retirees) taking into account institutional and transformational transitions for each stage are given objectives, content and methods. There were revealed the tasks of professional self-determination at each stage. Each stage is characterized with detailed recommendations for participation in career-oriented activities of a specific orientation for building an effective trajectory of professional development. A list of measures was formed to determine the features of career guidance at different stages of the process of professional self-determination and their effectiveness was evaluated. The popularity of career guidance activities among respondents is defined and grouped and is presented in tabular form. The priorities of methods of professional self-determination are highlighted (with a breakdown into general, professional and individual orientation).

The article deals with the problems of professional self-determination of a person in the conditions of transformation of social and labor relations and the labor market under the influence of the industrial revolution. The author identified the principle of contradictions as the main method of research, which makes it possible to clarify the problem field of the pro-cess of professional self-determination. To identify contradictions, the main theories and concepts that affect the division of labor and the transformation of social and labor relations are analyzed: the concept of the fourth industrial revolution, the digital economy, the innova-tion economy, the theory of human capital, human resource management, continuous Long-life learning (LLL), talent management. This allows us to identify trends in the devel-opment of social and labor relations as a factor of professional self-determination. The arti-cle considers the basic process of pro¬fessional self-determination as a continuous, multi-stage, cyclical, including stages: goals of professional self-determination, individual compe-tencies (strengths and weaknesses), supply and de¬mand in the labor market (current state and future), employment (form of employment), methods of competence development. One of the sources of contradictions the author sees the processes associated with the simulta-neous implementation of the principles of the third and fourth industrial revolutions in the Russian economy. Based on the analysis of theories and concepts, the article formulates eight main contradictions of professional self-determination, each of which has particular forms of manifestation. In the future on the basis of these contradictions is supposed to develop private mechanisms of professional self-determi¬nation of the person in choosing a profession, how and where competency development, place of work, shape and type of employment.

Before And After

Abstract. This study tests two competing hypotheses, one based on the general aggression model (GAM), the other on the self-determination theory (SDT). GAM suggests that the crucial factor in video games leading to increased aggressiveness is their violent content; SDT contends that gaming is associated with aggression because of the frustration of basic psychological needs. We used a 2×2 between-subject experimental design with a sample of 128 undergraduates. We assigned each participant randomly to one experimental condition defined by a particular video game, using four mobile video games differing in the degree of violence and in the level of their frustration-invoking gameplay. Aggressiveness was measured using the implicit association test (IAT), administered before and after the playing of a video game. We found no evidence of an association between implicit aggressiveness and violent content or frustrating gameplay.

The right to self-determination is central to the current debate on rational suicide in old age. The goal of this exploratory study was to assess the presence of self-determination in suicidal institutionalized elderly persons. Eleven elderly persons with serious suicidal ideations were matched according to age, sex, and civil status with 11 nonsuicidal persons. The results indicated that suicidal persons did not differ from nonsuicidal persons in level of self-determination. There was, however, a significant difference between groups on the social subscale. Suicidal elderly persons did not seem to take others into account when making a decision or taking action. The results are discussed from a suicide-prevention perspective.
