Off Shoring

The authors define ‘place basing’ as the study of work and employment in a particular place. They are interested in understanding the limitations of work opportunities therein and so focus on workers and jobs that are not subject to the threat of off-shoring or relocation elsewhere but which are low paid and insecure. The authors theorize three contributions to new knowledge that flow from a place-based study of work and employment by demonstrating how precarious flexible often zero hour work eschews reciprocity between employer and employees and workers. They focus their research on ordinary working families and the ‘permissive visibility’ of bad work. The research points to an idealized model of individual and family economic functioning that is able to cope with physical and mental challenges individually without burdening the state. As the findings on workers and households demonstrate, this ideal is far from the reality they experience.

Thematic Layer

The purpose of the study is to show how the features of geocartographic way of thinking are manifested in the meta-theory of knowledge based on mathematical formalisms. General cartographic concepts and regularities are considered in the view of metatheoretic analysis using cognitive procedures of fiber bundle from differential geometry. On levels of metainformation generalization, the geocartographic metatheoretic approach to the study of reality is higher than the system-theoretical one. It regulates the type of equations, models, and methods of each intertheory expressed in its own system terms. There is a balance between the state of any system and its geographical environment; therefore the observed phenomena are only explained theoretically in a metatheoretic projection on the corresponding system-thematic layer of the knowledge map. Metatheoretic research enables passing from the systematization of already known patterns to the formation of new knowledge through the scientific stratification of reality. General methods of metatheoretic analysis are mathematically distinguished

An internet forum can be used as a crowdsourcing tool for searching for new knowledge and the latest non-standard ideas being a result of forum members' joint creative work. On the basis of these regularities, criteria of the forum maturity in processes of its formation and advance are elaborated. Basing on these results on a 2015 analysis of the forum, formed on the ground of the Universidad Tecnologica de la Mixteca (UTM), the State of Oaxaca, Mexico, a moment when the forum reaches its maturity was revealed. These conceptions are suitable for forming a thesaurus and taxonomy prototype of socio-cultural, environmental, and economic problems in Mixteca region. In its turn, a forum thesaurus gives opportunities for the regional community to understand a degree of its involvement into revealing and discussing the most actual regional problems on the internet.

The reptile fauna of some localities in Paraná is still poorly known. Most surveys were conducted in the central-north, central-south, and eastern regions of the state. Herein, we present a list of squamate reptiles from the Mauá Hydroelectric Power Plant along the Tibagi River, in the central-east region of Paraná. Samplings occurred from March 2010 to April 2015. We recorded 34 species: 24 snakes, eight lizards, and two amphisbaenians. Our work adds new knowledge about the reptilian fauna of the central-east region of Paraná.

Abstract “Translating the Eastside: Embodied Translation in Helena María Viramontes’s Their Dogs Came With Them” argues that translation—specifically embodied translation—is the central mode through which Chicanx bodies confront the painful condition of inhabiting the fragmented spaces and temporalities that simultaneously construct and exclude them. In Dogs, translation is above all a process of carrying across, transferring, expressing and contesting meaning from one place to another through the physicality of the body. Embodied translation does not solely carry across meaning across texts or languages, but is itself a source of new knowledge, including insofar as it refuses to transfer meaning through the body. However, embodied translation is only transformative as much as it disrupts the direct translation imposed by the state which contains and regulates Chicanx bodies. Rather than straightforwardly carrying meaning across, embodied translation foregrounds excess and lack, seemingly producing too much or not enough translation to produce and transfer meaning. Excessive modes of embodied translation, such as repetition or recycling, and those that indicate a lack, such as silence or muteness, are practices of dissent that continually reference space and temporality while calling other kinds of translation into question. As such, embodied translation stands as an excessive, persistent site of resistance that places systemic pressure on dominant institutions, marked through the intersection between bodies, space and temporality. In the process, embodied translation calls both the present and presence of Chicanx peoples into being in the face of their erasure in spaces like East Los Angeles.

The article considers the problem of education of children with disabilities from a sociological and legal point of view. The position of society on the issue of education and training of children with disabilities is reflected: if it accepts and perceives the difficulties encountered by “special” children in the process of obtaining new knowledge, whether they are ready to provide assistance, or vice versa, in every way impede their integration. The article gives a secondary analysis of already conducted sociological studies, which are complemented by a survey of authors. Separately, the parent’s opinions of children with disabilities and their views on this problem are highlighted. The data of official statistics, as well as the main results of the state program “Accessible Environment” are presented. In the end, the conclusion is drawn from the study, a vector is presented, according to which the attitude of society towards children with disabilities is changing.

Work And Employment

In different national, institutional and organisational contexts, and in conditions of uncertainty, worker organisations, old and new, are experimenting in response to the major fault lines of change they face. This introduction to the special issue focuses on these processes of experimentation: the disruption of traditional forms of regulation of work and employment; how a variety of actors are engaged in experimentation about the governance of work and employment; how these actors are making claims on the state; how these processes can lead to better and to worse work; and how strong sets of capabilities and particular configurations of resources on the part of those engaged in experimentation can contribute to new forms of work regulation and indeed better work. Key themes include the agency and resilience of actors and their development of new collective capabilities, the importance of deliberation and democracy, the strategic and reflexive nature of their experimentation, the potential scalability of experimentation into new forms of institutionalisation integrating core values such as equality, solidarity and democracy, and new models of research aggregation requiring ongoing dialogue between actors and researchers.

This article analyses photo elicitation workshop encounters of Arab and Jewish students in an academic college in Israel. Focused on family albums, the workshop, facilitated by the author, examined family histories of migration shared by both peoples in ways insufficiently addressed in scholarly, educational and daily discourse. The encounters were informed by a critical pedagogy approach, with emphasis on recognizing cultural differences and silenced personal-political histories, and producing new knowledge through critical discussions. One central theme that emerged in the workshop was official and silenced knowledge on migration and uprooting. Distinct from the official knowledge provided by the state curriculum, the alternative knowledge elicited from the albums challenges the divisiveness of national narratives. It has the potential of developing critical and empowered awareness and identity and of promoting social change.

MichaelVentris died at the age of 34 last September in a motor accident. His discovery that the Linear B texts of Knossos, Pylos, Mycenae, and other sites were Greek ranks as one of the most brilliant achievements of scholarship, and has been internationally acclaimed a feat of the same order as that of Champollion in deciphering the Egyptian hieroglyphs. The brilliance of this discovery is matched by its importance; it will take years to work out the consequences of the new knowledge, which proves that Mycenaean civilization was Greek-speaking, gives us texts contemporary and comparable with texts from the adjoining civilizations of Egypt and the Near East, and shows us the state of the Greek language half a millennium before our earliest Greek literature.

The paper identifies the components of Ukraine’s security in the spheres of its life: politics, economics, the military, etc. In the modern world, the driving force of the economy is qualitatively new knowledge, so the structure of the economy as innovative can be reduced to the following formula: general economy = economics of science + scientific and technological economics + economics of material production. Economics, in our opinion, can be schematically represented as follows: economics of science (information => information resources => innovation => qualitatively new knowledge => intellectual resources), scientific and technological economics and economics of material production. That is, the security of the state depends primarily on its political component to ensure the economic security of society. Political security is a qualitative state of the political system of society, which should be determined by law. Economic security — reliable protection of national and state interests in the economy from real and potential internal and external threats, and in the first place — direct and indirect economic losses. The security of the state as a system of political power in Ukraine depends on its political, economic, scientific and scientific-technological components, which are the foundation of Ukraine’s innovation policy. Key words: politics, political science, national security and mechanisms of its provision, political security, national security and mechanisms of its provision, indicators of political security, threats to political security, internal political security of the state, challenges to internal political security, external political security of the state, political economy, political economy, science and information, the concept of economic security, the competence of state bodies in ensuring state security.
