Key Questions

‘Bodies matter: dilemmas and controversies’ considers three key questions—are mediated bodies immoral? How do people manage bodily change? Have our bodies become sacred? They each show how body matters reach beyond the boundaries of enfleshed persons. Embodied individuals are always situated within a wider social and material environment that they shape and are shaped by. The manner in which bodies are conceptualized, experienced, lived, and treated provides us with far more than a limited and localized topic, of interest only to physiologists and others in the biological sciences. Instead, these issues provide key means of approaching social relationships, cultural ideas, technological developments, and historical change.

The world of money is being transformed as households and organizations face changing economies, and new currencies and payment systems like Bitcoin and Apple Pay gain ground. What is money, and how do we make sense of it? This is the first book to offer a wide range of alternative and unexpected explanations of how social relations, emotions, moral concerns, and institutions shape how we create, mark, and use money. The book proposes fresh explanations for money's origins, uses, effects, and future. It explores five key questions: How do social relationships, emotions, and morals shape how people account for and use their money? How do corporations infuse social meaning into their financing and investment practices? What are the historical, political, and social foundations of currencies? When does money become contested, and are there things money shouldn't buy? What is the impact of the new twenty-first-century currencies on our social relations? At a time of growing concern over financial inequality, this book overturns conventional views about money by revealing its profound social potential.

Key Questions

Research on the social implications of technological developments is highly relevant. However, a broader comprehension of current innovations and their underlying theoretical frameworks is limited by their rapid evolution, as well as a plethora of different terms and definitions. The terminology used to describe current innovations varies significantly among disciplines, such as social sciences and computer sciences. This article contributes to systematic and cross-disciplinary research on current technological applications in everyday life by identifying the most relevant concepts (i.e., Ubiquitous Computing, Internet of Things, Smart Objects and Environments, Ambient Environments and Artificial Intelligence) and relating them to each other. Key questions, core aspects, similarities and differences are identified. Theoretically disentangling terminology results in four distinct analytical dimensions (connectivity, invisibility, awareness, and agency) that facilitate and address social implications. This article provides a basis for a deeper understanding, precise operationalisations, and an increased anticipation of impending developments.

Technological developments brought many changes in the child's development. One form is the technological development of online games. The use of online games is more likely to give a negative influence on the development of a child's social-emotional. This is evident from research conducted on children who use the online game active in Kebun Sayur RT 05/RW 02, Bangko in hypothesis testing, the regression equation is Y = 48.553348 + 0,2092501X seen that the influence of online gaming (variable x ), the development of a child's social-emotional. (variable y) Kebun Sayur RT 05 / RW 02, Bangko calculated using simple linear regression got simply Fhitung> Ftabel or 5.0124> 4.196, then Ho is rejected. Thus a significant difference between playing online games against the development of a child's social-emotional. in Kebun Sayur RT 05/RW 02, Bangko. The online game that has made the child starts to lose time limits important in life, spend less time with family, and slowly pulled away from the normal routine of life of children. Child neglect social relationships with friends and ultimately his life become unmanageable because of the Internet, including online games.Keywords: Playing Online Games, Social-Emotional Development, Children

Information And Communication

The internet has completely reconfigured social relationships. As information and communication technology continues to change and evolve in ways that were previously unimaginable, films like Spike Jonze’s Her seem not so far from future technological developments. The purpose of this paper is to depict how Jonze’s work does a substantive job in portraying the disconnection from the world individual undergoes when they overly depend on technology for affection and meaning. One may think the idea of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) becoming so personable as unachievable, however, most of our smart technology is already customized to suit our personal needs and gives us quick information such as Siri or Alexa. This paper discusses some relevant aspects of this problem.

Key Questions

This article reconsiders the picture of the mother of young children in industrialised societies as the ‘isolated housewife’, suggesting this notion is by no means straightforward. We suggest there is considerable evidence for the existence of mothers' social contacts and their significance both as ‘work’ and ‘friendship’ in industrial societies. A pre-occupation with the notion of the ‘isolation’ of ‘housewives’ has led social researchers to neglect sustained examination of the social relationships within which many/most mothers are involved on a day-to-day basis. Complexities of interpretation, for example what ‘isolation’ can actually mean, need to be drawn out from the existing literature. Evidence presented from two recent ethnographic studies shows patterned opportunities/constraints occurring in relation to mothers' social contacts within localised settings, whether through organised groups or other personal ties. The complex nature of individual women's social contacts is thus brought out. Some key questions are raised for the importance to sociology, anthropology and social policy of these apparently insignificant or invisible women's networks.

Social media is one of the technological developments that have a big hand in providing convenience for humans to communicate and socialize.Social media can be a barrie r where new forms of social relationships cause differences and create new social practices that some people can not accept and develop. This aspect is a consideration to investigate the phenomenon in social media. In this study, we present Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as an approach to the development of theory in social media. Discussions around CDA sites in important information systems research (IS). This research is aimed at developing theory in social media

Over the last 50 years, Bengt Saltin’s contributions to our understanding of physiology of the circulation, the matching of the circulation to muscle metabolism, and the underlying mechanisms that set the limits for exercise performance were enormous. His research addressed the key questions in the field using sophisticated experimental methods including field expeditions. From the Dallas Bedrest Study to the 1-leg knee model to the physiology of lifelong training, his prodigious body of work was foundational in the field of exercise physiology and his leadership propelled integrative human physiology into the mainstream of biological sciences.

In the industry 4.0 era, it requires individual skills and abilities to continue to exist and be able to keep up with developments in the economy which will be dominated by technology. Humans are no longer required to become workers but are required to create a jobs, therefore it takes the character of entrepreneurship in individuals so as not to position themselves as job seekers who will be defeated by technology, but are expected to become job creators who will be supported by technological developments. The character of the entrepreneur can be instilled through learning or education. The teacher as a facilitator in learning can incorporate elements of entrepreneurial character into economic subjects. The character of the entrepreneur is the locus of control, willing to take risks, creativity and the ability to build good social relationships. To achieve this, learning in high school must be planned in several stages, first, implemented and controlled to achieve the objectives, namely; produce graduates who have an entrepreneurial mind, secondly, habituating the application of entrepreneurship through teaching and learning activities, applying characteristic values and integrating entrepreneurship into learning, third, teaching and learning activities are carried out through planning to open entrepreneurial insights, instill entrepreneurial attitudes, provide practical knowledge and provide knowledge the initial experience of trying, by involving students in learning, is expected to instill concepts, instill attitudes, technical understanding and provide entrepreneurial experience. Keywords : character, entrepreneurial character, education, economy

The Cost

The educational establishment was built and structured on a communication pattern at the core of the Gutenberg Galaxy that combines the spoken word with printed and handwritten resources. The current digitization of text is a pacesetter for retooling the workplace in the "industries of signs", for replacing skills on a broad scale and for developing new formal and informal social relationships. In addition to technological developments, a strong driver of this process is the cost of the mainly manual modes of academic operation. Core inhibitors to change are century-old traditions embedded in brick-and-mortar institutions, the impossibility of enforcing industrial-type organization on knowledge work and an elitist and scholastic bent in the academic concept of self. The field is thus in need of a new Grammar of Schooling that reflects technologically and socially driven participation modes that better address educational needs and cost considerations. The educational institution is challenged to develop a new logic of production in its educational mission.

Key Questions

A decade after IESHR’s Special Issue of 2010, ‘Munshis, Pandits and Record-Keepers: Scribal communities and historical change in India’, we return again to the challenges and dilemmas that scribes, bureaucrats, intellectuals and literati of different kinds faced during the early modern centuries. Building on recent advances in our understanding of these key communities, this Special Issue turns the focus to the eighteenth century. We explore the strategies of individuals as they navigated new conditions of service, unexpected opportunities for personal advancement and the complexities of affiliation amid personal networks that extended across boundaries of region, language and religion. We investigate the important role of scribal people in the literary cultures of the eighteenth century, and the new meanings that their participation gave to literary syncretism and hybridity. We return again to questions of intellectual history and the reflections of scribal service people as they sought to find meaning in the collapse of old political formations and the rise of new ones. This Introduction surveys the recent scholarly literature in these connected fields, situates the essays here in the context of this new work, and identifies some of the key questions which remain to be answered in this critical era of transition between the India of ‘early modernity’ and the coming of the colonial world.
