AbstractThe subject of this study is work orientations, their change over time, as well as their distribution among the economically active citizens of Serbia. Particular attention is paid to work-motivated spatial mobility. The aim of this study is twofold: firstly, to determine which work orientations have been the most important for economically active individuals in the period of consolidation of the capitalist system in Serbia and to explore and explain the changes in their choices that have occurred since 2000; and secondly, to examine whether there are differences in prioritizing work orientations among actors with various social characteristics. The method of comparative analysis used in this paper was possible due to survey data collected during longitudinal research conducted by the Institute for Sociological Research in Belgrade over the last twenty years.

Over Time

Relationships between social workers and foster care, permanent care and adoptive parents are based on a combination ofknowledge, power, partnership and support, the ‘mix’ of which is likely to change over time. Different interpretations of what each side contributes to these relationships during assessment and post-placement contact, add to the complexity which parents and workers negotiate.In a longitudinal research project on support in permanent placements, avoiding saying too much was an important part of these relationships. ‘Good’ and ‘bad’ parenting, expectations, blame, physical punishment and not coping are just some of the issues which were not spoken about.This article explores the gap between the things which can be said and the things which are rarely said, and looks at how this gap affects relationships between fami lies and workers.

This chapter enlists Carole Crumley’s notion of heterarchy as a means of critiquing and refining Wayne Meeks’s notion of status inconsistency as it pertains to Pauline assemblies. The chapter shows that status is to be viewed not only as a multidimensional phenomenon but also as the subject of intense contest, negotiation, and change over time. Paul deploys a discourse of “spiritual gifts”—specifically the idea that the power by which Jesus was raised from the dead was transforming his “inner human being” into a glorious immortal being—in order to propose an inversion of the criteria utilized for the evaluation of social rank, such that he, an impoverished itinerant craftsman, might be evaluated within early Christian assemblies as having a status higher than that of wealthier patronal figures and gifted orators.

Although the communities of the Turkic world which spreading from Asia to Europe have gone through different political, social and religious adventures, they have kept their cultural codes alive in folk cultures that keep the national memory alive. There is a similarity in Turkish oral culture products that are passed from oral area to written area in different centuries and different geographies. Folklore products change over time and the effects of the socio-cultural and socio-political incidents of the period in which they were written down are also observed. The legend of Alp Kara Aslan in Ulu Han Ata Bitigçi or transmitted from Süleyman b. Abdülhakk b. Pehlivan el-Azerbaycânî according to Haarmann, is one of them. There are similar and different aspects between this legend written in different fields in different centuries with the book of Dede Korkut and the epic How Basat Killed Tepegoz in book of Dede Korkut. Although there are no similarities in the story of Basat, who saved the province of Oghuz, with the legend of Alp Kara Aslan, which is the subject of descent, the heroes' growth process, the source of their power, the stages of finding their identity and the zoomorph, the animal-ancestor thought circle, similar and different sides stand out.

Currently, age is characterized by implementing business management models based on precarious work and a massive reduction in jobs. This article aims to analyze the degree of happiness perceived in Spanish entrepreneurs, as opposed to that perceived by the employees, and if that happiness is associated with certain sociodemographic variables (such as gender, level of studies, and income level). For this purpose, a brief literature review of the economy of happiness is carried out, considering studies regarding the happiness–entrepreneurship connection over the past few years. With data provided by the Sociological Research Center (C.I.S.) barometer survey, we work in two phases: (1) descriptive and inferential on possible associations between the variables, and (2) the calculation of probabilities through logistic regression. The main result shows that the entrepreneurs with employees are happiest. When the null hypothesis is rejected, the categories that seem to show the most happiness are those with higher education and those in the highest income ranges analyzed. Among the main limitations in this work is the scarcity of bibliographic production on the subject matter of this paper. This paper helps to cover part of this gap.

The aim of this study is to measure the competitiveness of Turkey by making a comparative analysis between the Turkish agricultural, industrial, and services sectors involved in foreign trade and the corresponding sectors of the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) nations. In addition to the determination of their relative competitiveness, assessments will be made about their competitiveness over time by analyzing the direction of the sectoral trends of the above-mentioned countries. In the study, after a brief theoretical overview, a summary of the literature related to the subject is provided, followed by a comparison of the competitiveness of the three sectors (agriculture, industry, and services) made by calculating the revealed comparative advantages (RCAs) of Turkey and the BRIC countries.

The article considers structural and semantic types of English and Ukrainian proverbs and sayings in a comparative aspect. It should be noted that phraseology has always been the subject of special attention of national lexicology. Issues such as typological, semantic and stylistic classifications of phraseological units, the degree of their stability, their origin will always remain at the forefront of the linguistic search. An interesting future awaits the comparison of phraseological systems in related and non-related languages, search and translation of variants, as well as the origin of units that remain constant over time. Phraseological units fill the gaps in the lexical system of the language which cannot fully provide the names of the new aspects of reality cognized be a person and in many cases are the only designations for objects, properties, processes, states, situations and the like. The emergence of phraseological units (proverbs and sayings) weakens the contradictions between the needs of thinking and the limited lexical resources of the language. Phraseological units are carriers of the aphoristic fund, which determines the factors of the perception of the world and is associated with everyday life f and culture and is also determined by both the theoretical and practical significance of the study of phraseological units. Correct and accurate semantisation of phraseological units (proverbs and sayings) of the English language more than any other means contribute to the vocabulary expansion and mastery. Laconicism and expressiveness of the studied phenomenon contributes to the rapid mastery of English grammar and the parallel development of idiomatic speech.

Governance is a characteristic of political systems that indicates the degrees of cooperation and interaction between a state and non-state actors when it comes to decision making that will have an impact on society. The aim of our research focuses on analysing the behaviour of the Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) over the 2002–2019 period, since we are interested in learning whether such indicators varied or remained constant. Moreover, we will gain insight into the evolution of these indicators across countries in different geographical areas. The techniques we have chosen for this research are as follows: Partial Triadic Analysis, also known as X-STATIS, to highlight the stable structure of the evolution of the indicators and countries along the years by means of building an average year; Tucker3 to highlight deeper relationships among countries, indicators and years. A comparative analysis of these methods will allow us to check whether the WGI are stable over the years studied or whether they vary over time, providing information about the differences between the Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) in several countries or geographical areas.
