It is the contention of this chapter that official promotions of multilingualism partake in a broader neoliberal state strategy to shield highly stratified and unequal economic interests by placing the heavy burden of global adaptability on individual speakers as students, laborers, and citizens. In its rhetoric, this strategy endorses individual multilingualism as an instrument for balancing out opportunity and access among the population. Policies on multilingualism reify previous hierarchies by recasting certain languages as those of modernity, opportunity, and progress within the actualities of global market capitalism. In sum, the chapter exposes current modes of discrimination that determine who is left out of national and global discourses on development. It also raises urgent questions about the possibility of public deliberation in an ostensibly developing and democratizing Morocco, questions that resonate with the wider Maghreb region and especially within the Algerian and Tunisian contexts. This chapter aims to probe the relationship between multilingualism and diversity with two aims: first, to examine the social impact of Moroccan multilingualism within the frame of global market capitalism, and, second, to use social experience to unsettle the assumed tautology between institutionalized diversity and liberal democratization.

Urological Diseases

Modifiable lifestyle-related risk factors are the object of increasing attention, with a view to primary and tertiary prevention, to limit the onset and development of diseases. Also in the urological field there is accumulating evidence of the relationship between urological diseases and lifestyle-related risk factors that can influence their incidence and prognosis. Risk factors such as nutrition, physical activity, sexual habits, tobacco smoking, or alcohol consumption can be modified to limit morbidity and reduce the social impact and the burdensome costs associated with diagnosis and treatment. This review synthesizes the current clinical evidence available on this topic, trying to satisfy the need for a summary on the relationships between the most important lifestyle factors and the main benign urological diseases, focusing on benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), infections urinary tract (UTI), urinary incontinence (UI), stones, erectile dysfunction, and male infertility.

Benefits And Costs

Purpose The Social Return on Investment (SROI) framework has been developed for mapping and measuring social impact. It may be used for legitimating organisations and projects. The framework is often criticised for its overemphasis of the SROI ratio, i.e. the relationship between monetised benefits and costs. This study aims to demonstrate how the SROI method legitimates organisations or projects with multiple other discursive ways besides the SROI ratio. It also discusses the status of these other ways of legitimation in relation to the quantifying and monetising core tendency of SROI. Design/methodology/approach The empirical data consist of an SROI guidebook and 12 SROI reports. Their study applies Theo van Leeuwen’s ideas for analysing the discursive legitimation of social practices. The study takes place broadly in the framework of Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis, aided by qualitative content analysis. Findings In the analysis, the full spectrum of the van Leeuwenian legitimation means used by SROI – authorisation, rationalisation, moral evaluation and mythopoetical narration – is brought out in the data and the status and social context of the legitimation means are assessed and discussed. It is shown that there is existing potential for broader and more visible use of different legitimation means. Practical implications Based on the findings of the study, suggestions for the improvement of SROI reporting by a more balanced explicit use of the multitude of legitimation means are presented. Originality/value The study is original both in its subject (the spectrum of legitimation in SROI) and its method (qualitative discursive and contentual analysis of SROI as a legitimating discourse).

To make sustainable tourism a more concrete and operational concept, many sets of indicators have been proposed by both academics and policy makers. Among the latter, the European Tourism Indicator System (ETIS) was launched by the European Commission to monitor tourist destinations at a subnational level. To evaluate the social impact of tourism, the ETIS recommended the administration of a proposed questionnaire to the local residents. We conducted the survey administration of the ETIS questionnaire in an Italian seaside resort. In this paper, we report the main outcomes of the survey and propose their interpretation within the context of some of the theoretical frameworks described in the academic literature referring to the relationship between tourism and host communities.

This article examines aspects of the relationship between the Norfolk poor and the Norfolk clergy between 1815 and 1914. It considers the potential impact clergymen could have upon a number of areas of secular life, especially with regard to the extirpation of popular culture and custom, the social and moral management inherent in charity and Poor Law administration, and the development of ‘power networks’ in the countryside that confronted the challenge posed by religious Nonconformity and political radicalism. The article is principally concerned with the importance of the Church of England as an instrument of secular authority in nineteenth-century rural life. Rival social structures and conflicting economic interests are subjected to both quantitative and qualitative analysis, while keys to cultural tension are sought in such iconic areas as the pageantry of parish entertainments; the re-casting of law to act against custom; the rise of the clergyman as antiquarian historian and amateur archaeologist; the symbolism and architecture of the restored church. In so doing an attempt is made to address questions that are at once broadly political and narrowly human in their scope. What did the Oxbridge scholar – perhaps having spent the preceding three years conversing in Greek and Latin with his peers – find to ‘say’ to the agricultural labourers now in his pastoral care? And why, when the clergyman (often justifiably) thought of himself as working unstintingly in his parishioners' interests, was he so often heartily despised by them?

La expansión de las fuerzas económicas y tecnológicas del fenómeno que conocemos como globalización ha venido acompañada de políticas neoliberales, las cuales impactan significativamente tanto en la educación como en la consideración del género en el cambio social. Este artículo presenta un esquema teórico para captar la elusiva relación globalizacion/impacto social y así luego identificar las características específicas de la educación globalizada, poniendo en relieve su nivel más alto y conflictivo – la educación universitaria. Se examina también el tenor de las políticas educativas hegemónicas y la conceptualización del género que ellas presentan. En balance, se detectan consecuencias educativas positivas y negativas ligadas a los procesos de globalización, pero quedan interrogantes serios en cuanto a la justicia social y la equidad de género. Palavras-chave: globalización; educación superior; género; políticas educativas. Abstract The expansion of the economical and technological forces of the phenomenon known as globalization came accompanied by neoliberal politics that influence significantly as much the education as the subject of gender in the social change. This article presents a theoretical outline to capture the apparent relationship between globalization/social impact and, consequently, to identify the specific characteristics of the globalized education, pointing out the most conflicting level – the academic education. It also examines the contents of the predominant educational politics and the gender concept presented by them. In conclusion, it detects the positive educational consequences and negatives related with the globalization processes; however, a question mark hangs over the relationship of social justice and gender equality.

Topicality. An important condition for the development of the sugar market, as one of the strategic markets of Ukraine, is integration into international economic structures. One of the ways to solve the problems of integration is to ensure the export of sugar by creating distribution and logistics centers. Aim and tasks. The aim of the article is to develop proposals on possible ways to promote the integration of the Ukrainian sugar market into global value added chains, which will transform the existing chain and improve the relationship between different actors and change the inefficient direction of material and financial flows. Research results. The article contains the results of the research devoted to the substantiation of economic interests of the subjects of LCSM and the peculiarities of their interaction. In the work on the example of the Ukrainian sugar market the peculiarities of the formation of structures of logistics chains, their general and different characteristics, inefficient links in the market chain have been identified. The existing structural construction of LCSM has been considered and diagnostics of efficiency of its functioning has been carried out. In the context of the integration of LCSM of Ukraine into the global sugar market, the expediency of its transformation by including a new link in the form of a distribution and logistics center (sugar terminal) has been substantiated. Conclusion. The transformed LCSM provides an opportunity to improve the relationship between the subjects of different links and change the inefficient direction of material and financial flows for a gradual transition to the movement of material flow through the distribution and logistics center. In the course of the research the organizational mechanism of LCSM integration has been offered taking into account the interests of internal and external chains of the global market.

An approach to the philosophy of biology in the 21st century requires going beyond its epistemological side, betting on pragmatic aspects, in the sense of the social impact of the instrumentalization of biological developments. These advances have both beneficial and harmful consequences for humanity. Among the latter, it is its use for military conflicts, as a result of advances in biotechnology. The objective of this work is to address the role of biological knowledge in wars, analyzing some especially relevant cases such as bioterrorism, but also other types of conflicts in which biology, broadly understood with its different branches, plays an important role. First, I will introduce the most important concepts in the relationship between biology and war, taking into account historical precedents in this area. Secondly, since biology enters in military conflicts, I will address the case of bioterrorism as one of the most pressing problems in that it is one of the forms that war is currently taking, as well as one of its derivatives, “agroterrorism”, which consists in causing the destruction of crops or the death of livestock that feeds the population. In this regard, I will examine other ways of resolving conflicts in which biological factors play an important role in establishing dominance between two or more nations or populations facing each other, paying special attention to agriculture and livestock. Regarding the possible theoretical models to analyze these conflicts, I will focus on the relationship between pure, applied science and technology, the methodological models of design sciences and ethical and moral reflection.

Public Mental Hospital

On December 8, 1939, 35 patients, neurotics and psychotics, met in “Sunnyside House” and formed a social club. The chair at the meeting was taken by a patient. We had previously met this patient with a few others, and explained to them the aim we had in view in proposing that they formed a club. Later this aim was expressed in the following paragraph which is taken from an article written for the first magazine of the Club :“We find there are two main problems common to many who come to a modern mental hospital—the problem of ‘occupation’ and the problem of 'social relationship,’ that is, the relationship between the ‘I’ and the ‘ you.’ It was with the importance of the latter problem in mind that we suggested the establishment of a social club… . The satisfaction of successful co-operation is one of the surest foundations for happiness and inner security. Many of us here are lonely souls who have walled ourselves off to some extent from the society of our fellows. For one reason or another we have avoided the social impact and retreated into solitude and isolation. We have thus deprived ourselves of the possibility of co-operative activity and of the sense of security and fulfilment that this can bring. The Sunny Side Club will enable us to take the first few steps in the direction of fuller social co-operation by giving us the opportunity of working together on its various committees or of joining in its activities.”

Chapter 14 explains the factors that prevented popular response against the corruption and economic instability brought on by transitional reforms. It points out that neoliberal atomization of social experience, coupled with economic instability, made social and political activism too costly for those who lived on the knife’s edge. The chapter also shows the importance of growing religious, ethnic, and nationalist movements as forging identity groups that were resistant to internal disputes. It further explores the role of mass out-migration in giving those who were dissatisfied with the social or economic conditions in their home country a route for seeking a better life elsewhere rather than engaging in subversive political movements. The speed and severity of the shift, as well as optimistic beliefs about market capitalism, had substantial effects on individuals’ psychosocial understanding of political and social life that prevented them from engaging in alternate political movements.
