AbstractDespite the widespread recognition of climate change as the single biggest global threat, the willingness of people to change their behavior to mitigate its effects is limited. Past research, often focusing on specific categories of behavior, has highlighted a very significant gap between people’s intentions to behave more sustainably and their actual behavior. This paper presents a new approach to this issue, by using more open-ended questions to map a much broader range of cognitions and emotions about good environmental behavior. Two key findings emerged. Firstly, participants were aware of the contradiction between their level of concern about the environment and their willingness to act in more sustainable ways. The qualitative analysis further revealed that this discrepancy often hinged on a lack of knowledge about how to act more sustainably; the analysis also revealed a desire for more information about genuinely green behavior. Secondly, pro-environmental behavior was often conceptualized by participants in essentially “social” terms; anticipated emotions relating to sustainable/non-sustainable behavior were as closely tied to the behavior of one’s peers as to one’s own behavior. This finding suggests that we must highlight the social dimension in any interventions to increase sustainable behaviors amongst the public.

Waqf has two dimensional meaning; the spiritual dimension that is taqarrub to Allah and the social dimension as the source of Islamic financial for the welfare of the people. Waqf disputes can be caused by several reasons; waqf land is not accompanied with a pledge; waqf is done on the basis of mutual trust so it has no legal proof and ownership. Currently, the choice to use the court is less effective in resolving disputes. Hence, the public ultimately chooses non-litigation efforts as a way to resolve the disputes. Mediation process is preferred by many as it is viewed to be the fairest way where none of the two parties wins or loses (win-win solution). It is also fast and cheap. This study is intended to examine how to solve waqf dispute with mediation model according to the waqf law, and how the application of mediation in the Religious Courts system

New digital video technologies are transforming how people everywhere document, publish, and consume information. As knowledge production becomes increasingly oriented towards digital/visual modes of expression, scholars will need new approaches for conducting and publishing research. The purpose of this article is to advance a systematic approach to scholarship calledanalytic filmmaking.I argue that when filming and editing are guided by rigorous social scientific standards, digital video can be a compelling medium for illustrating causal processes, communicating theory-driven explanations, and presenting new empirical findings. I furthermore argue that analytic films offer policymakers and the public an effective way to glean insights from and engage with scholarly research. Throughout the article I draw on examples from my work to demonstrate the principles of analytic filmmaking in practice and to point out how analytic films complement written scholarship.

Innovation public policy has an essential role in influencing the competitive capacity of companies and is strongly associated with their ability to innovate and the way they are organized. As important as the technological organization of work is the social dimension, namely, involvement, participation, and commitment of the workforce, as these are, par excellence, factors that contribute to creating added value and differentiation for companies. In this sense, the concept of innovation depends on an integrated vision between the human dimension and the other multiple dimensions that innovation can assume. Public policies, besides the goal of creating a more modern and competitive business and industrial context, also are focused on the development of the workforce, not only in digital competences but also in soft skills. This type of skill contributes to creating a more innovative context and a culture of innovation. This article's goal is to make a global overview of innovation and the public policies to promote the modernization of companies and influence the way they contribute to economic growth.

The public library brings with itself the social dimension, which creates a space for training and social change. However, society requires innovations and libraries are part of this context. Thus, this work is justified by understanding the role that public libraries have for society. It lacks spaces for access to innovative technologies and information mediation actions. To make the research feasible, the research problem consists on the following question: to what extent do the investigations on public libraries aim at increasing innovation and makerspaces to reinforce their social function? Then, the aim of this study is to ascertain the number of publications in scientific journals that relate innovation and the makerspace in the emancipatory context of public libraries. Methodologically, it was drawn a qualitative and quantitative exploratory research. An exploratory search was carried out in databases considering papers pusblished by authors dealing with the themes, as well as in the abstracts of papers in journals and proceedings in the databases Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA) and the Base de Dados Referenciais de Artigos de Periódicos em Ciência da Informação (BRAPCI). Findings reveal that it lacks the relationship between public libraries, makerspace and information mediation, concomitantly, in investigations in the area of Information Science between the years 2009 and 2019.

Discute-se, neste artigo, a concepção de inclusão social na política pública de qualificação profissional veiculada pelo Plano Nacional de Qualificação (PNQ 2003-2012). No PNQ, a dimensão ‘social’ tem destaque se comparado com o plano anterior, com intuito de superar as críticas do plano anterior e contemplar a minimização da pobreza como estratégia de governabilidade. Para apreendermos a contradição no discurso oficial e confrontarmos aparência e essência, realizamos a pesquisa documental e empírica que permitiu o cotejamento entre os dados coletados. Identificamos que, embora no PNQ apregoe a universalização da política de qualificação, o que se materializa é a focalização em público prioritário como, por exemplo, os pertencentes a Economia Solidária. IDEOLOGY OF SOCIAL INCLUSION IN THE NATIONAL QUALIFICATION PLAN (NQP)Abstract: This article discussed the concept of social inclusion in the public policy of professional qualification disclosed by the National Qualification Plan (NQP-2003- 2012). In the NQP, the 'social' dimension stands out if compared with the previous plan, with the intention of overcoming the criticisms of the previous plan and, contemplate minimizing poverty as a governability strategy. To apprehend the contradiction in official speech and to confront appearance and essence, we have realized an empirical and documentary research that allowed collating between the data collected. We have identified that although the NQP proclaims the universalization of qualification policy, what is materialized is the targeting on priority public, as for instance, those belonging to the Solidarity Economy.Keywords: Professional qualification.

in recent years, social psychology plays an increasingly important role in the solution to environmental problems. In order to motivate people’s pro-environmental behavior, this paper, from the perspective of social psychology, puts forward the following ideas: helping the public possess the cognition of the seriousness of environmental problems and the cognition of the attribution of responsibility for environmental protection can encourage them to develop the right cognition of environmental problems; improving the public’s efficacy expectations and outcome expectations can strengthen their desire and attitude to environmental protection; changing the evaluation of social norms and cultivating the public’s skills of environmental protection can motivate people’s pro-environmental behavior.

The Relationship

The article presents the author’s interpretation of the old problem of the correlation between Culture and Civilization. According to this interpretation, from the very beginning of human History, within the Society as a whole, two opposite intentions took shape – one for the unlimited development of man and inter-human relations, and the other for the stabilization and conservation of what was achieved and tested. These intentions become tendencies, as a result of which two stable dimensions are formed in the public as a whole – the Sociality directed towards infinity and the finite and relatively self-contained Society. We can talk about the coexistence of socio-cultural and civilization-socium dimensions. These measurements are not reducible to each other and are not deducible from each other. At a certain stage of History, an ontological inversion occurs: the relationship between them is reversed. Since then, in History, the social dimension has dominated the social dimension. The latter is realized and exists under the multilayer strata of the structures of the former.

Energy Strategies

The aim of this paper is to analyse renewable energy strategies in the Baltic States, provide assessment of the achieved results when implementing these strategies and propose a new approach in the promotion of renewables and the implementation of renewable energy targets in the Baltic States. In order to implement the renewable energy development strategies, to achieve and surpass the set goals, with continued advances for the renewable energy in the Baltic States, a degree of social awareness, perception and acceptance is required. This paper proposes a new model of renewable energy strategies’ development, which can be considered as an add-on to the existing renewable energy strategy system that includes a social dimension in making and implementing future European Commission’s renewable energy framework for the Baltic States. It is divided into five main stages. Each stage shows approach to the framework and adds aspects of the social perspective. This model can serve as a guide for the Baltic States in the promotion of renewable energy source utilization to overcome the social dimension problems of sustainable energy development, such as uncertainty, misunderstanding of the issue, unawareness of problems arising in the future.
