The present study aimed a. to examine social value priorities, individualism - collectivism orientation and prosocial behavioral tendencies in Greece and, b. to investigate the theoretical conceptualization regarding possible relationships between social value priorities, individualism - collectivism orientation and prosocial behavioral tendencies. Males and females (N = 541) aged 18 to 65 from various places of Greece completed the Social Values Survey (Schwartz, 1992), the Auckland Individualism Collectivism Scale (Shulruf et al., 2011), the Prosocial Tendencies Measure (Carlo & Randall, 2002) as well as a form of socio-demographic information. Social Values types of Self-Direction, Benevolence, Security and Hedonism were found to be considered as the most guiding principles in participants’ lives. Individualism - Collectivism orientation was found to coexist in the answers of the participants although a significant tendency towards Individualism was detected in certain cases. The overall tendency towards performing prosocial behavior was found to be moderate to high, yet the exceeding Atruism type did not conform with the Anonymous type leading to the assumption that prosocial behavior is not clearly spontaneous among the participants, especially since the Compliant and Emotional types were also highly assessed. Results, furthermore provided us with some evidence regarding the association of certain Social Value types to prosocial behavioral tendencies. Specifically, an increase in the prioritization of Benevolence, Universalism, Self-direction and Security was found to be negatively related to the Public type of prosocial behavior. Theoretically remarkable is that an increase in the prioritization of Conformity, Benevolence and Security was found to be positively related to Compliant type of prosocial behavior.

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Health systems, as part of the social system, consider public values. This study was conducted to examine the role of social values in the health priority setting in the Iranian health system.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> In this qualitative case study, three main data sources were used: literature, national documents, and key informants who were purposefully selected from health care organizations and other related institutions. Data was analyzed and interpreted using the Clark-Weale Framework.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> According to our results, the public indirectly participates in decision-making. The public representatives participate in the meetings of the health priority setting as parliament members, representatives of some unions, members of the city council, and donors. The transparency of the decisions and the accountability of the decision makers are low. Decision makers only respond to complaints of the Audit Court and the Inspection Organization. Individual choice, although respected in hospitals and clinics, is limited in health care networks because of the referral system. Clinical effectiveness is considered in insurance companies and some hospitals. There are no technical abilities to determine the cost-effectiveness of health technologies; however, some international experiences are employed. Equity and solidarity are considered in different levels of the health system.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Social values are considered in the health priority decisions in limited ways. It seems that the lack of an appropriate value-based framework for priority setting and also the lack of public participation are the major defects of the health system. It is recommended that health policymakers invite different groups of people and stakeholders for active involvement in health priority decisions. </p>

Background: Exchanges between scientists and nonscientists are critical to realizing the social value of basic research. These exchanges rest in part on the willingness and ability of scientists to engage effectively in science communication activities. In this paper, we discuss the perception and willingness of basic scientists in the biological and biomedical fields to engage in science outreach. Methods: The analysis is based on qualitative data collected as part of a survey on the social value of basic research and is framed by the theory of planned behavior. This is a well-established theory of human behavior that relies on the premise that a person’s intention to engage in a behavior is the single best predictor of whether that person will in fact engage in that behavior. Results: Our data show that, while bioscientists maintain a positive attitude towards science communication, their intentions are influenced by some negative feelings with regard to how nonscientists react to science communication efforts. Interactions with institutional actors, governmental bodies and the public are particularly problematic. On the other hand, interactions with clinicians and patients are framed in positive terms. Finally, some study participants raised concerns as to their ability to communicate science effectively, the availability of time and resources, and the lack of proper rewards, particularly in terms of career advancement, for those who engage in science efforts. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that bioscientists' intentions to engage in science communication efforts must be better studied to develop empirically-informed interventions to increase scientists’ participation in science outreach efforts.

Oral literature has an important function in life because it can reflect people's lives and instil a sense of love for their own culture. Oral literature is a cultural heritage of the region passed down from generation to generation which is narrated from mouth to mouth and has a noble value. The noble value contained in oral literature reflects the local culture of the tribe. Certain noble values must be continuously preserved and implemented in the life of society and state. The noble value as a form of character education, such as social values. Therefore, positive social values must be maintained. The social values as many ancestral riches are also found in Dayak Keninjal oral literature titled Batu Dara Muning. The social value that can be found in oral literature entitled Batu Dara Muning is the value of a mother's love for a child, obedient to parents, forbidden marriage, obedience to customs. To analyze oral literature Batu Dara Muning used an approach of a sociology of literature. The reason literature is a mirror of the lives of the people who own the story. Stories or events expressed in oral literature are sourced from events in society with the narrator's imagination. The character used in oral literature is not the name of the character in his tribe, but the name made by the narrator.

Background: Health systems are complex social systems, and values constitute a central dimension of their complexity. Values are commonly understood as key drivers of health system change, operating across all health systems components and functions. Moreover, health systems are understood to influence and generate social values, presenting an opportunity to harness health systems to build stronger, more cohesive societies. However, there is little investigation (theoretical, conceptual, or empirical) on social values in health policy and systems research (HPSR), particularly regarding the capacity of health systems to influence and generate social values. This study develops an explanatory theory for the ‘social value of health systems.’ Methods: We present the results of an interpretive synthesis of HPSR literature on social values, drawing on a qualitative systematic review, focusing on claims about the relationship between ‘health systems’ and ‘social values.’ We combined relational claims extracted from the literature under a common framework in order to generate new explanatory theory. Results: We identify four mechanisms by which health systems are considered to contribute social value to society: Health systems can: (1) offer a unifying national ideal and build social cohesion, (2) influence and legitimise popular attitudes about rights and entitlements with regard to healthcare and inform citizen’s understanding of state responsibilities, (3) strengthen trust in the state and legitimise state authority, and (4) communicate the extent to which the state values various population groups. Conclusion: We conclude that, using a systems-thinking and complex adaptive systems perspective, the above mechanisms can be explained as emergent properties of the dynamic network of values-based connections operating within health systems. We also demonstrate that this theory accounts for how HPSR authors write about the relationship between health systems and social values. Finally, we offer lessons for researchers and policy-makers seeking to bring about values-based change in health systems.

Music is a symbolic symbol of artistic achievements and musical traditions of human society. Music is considered as the social cultural heritage of society.When memories, anxiety, malice, mental tension, emotion and complex emotions make social life monotonous and rooted, then the arts especially the music arts have a special effect on the social value of society. संगीत मानव समाज की कलात्मक उपलब्धियों एवं सांगीतिक परम्पराओं का मूर्तिमान प्रतीक है।संगीत समाज की सामाजिक सांस्कृतिक विरासत मानी जाती है।जब स्मृतियाँँ,चिन्ता,द्वेष,मानसिक तनाव,आवेष तथा जटिल भावना,सामाजिक जीवन को नीरस तथा जड़ बना देती है तब कलाएँ विषेषकर संगीत कला समाज व्यक्ति के सामाजिक मूल्य पर विषेष प्रभाव डालती है।

This chapter considers the nature, aims, and values of intellectual property (IP) rights and systems. It traces the emergence of statutory IP laws in Europe from the 15th century as means of facilitating and rewarding the introduction to the public of certain intangible expressive and informational objects of social value, and the different IP philosophies that they reflect. It then considers the IP rights and systems of European and UK law today, and their vesting of temporary exclusive rights in respect of different categories of ‘intellectual creation’, broadly conceived. The EU is presented as seeking, through its recognition and protection of IP rights, to build on the traditions of its Member States in a manner that is consistent with both its international commitments and its particular economic and social values and aims. The result of this objective is considered, along with certain distinctions of importance to IP rights and systems.
