The paper presents a civil organization entitled “Ormánság Cultural Mission” focusing on the development of marginalized minor settlements in Baranya County, in the South Transdanubian Region of Hungary. Situation of deprived villages - also affected by Roma segregation - motivated actors and volunteers in cooperation with local participants - involving children - to perform cultural projects including dramatized topics focusing on the everyday problems and challenges in this area. This study presents the cultural initiative in the framework of other community projects completed in the Ormánság region. The research was based on semi structured expert interviews made with the organizers.

We discuss a technique for teaching students everyday applications of statistical concepts. We used this technique with students (n = 50) enrolled in several sections of an introductory statistics course; students (n = 45) in other sections served as a comparison group. A class of introductory psychology students (n = 24) served as a second comparison group. We assessed students' statistical reasoning ability at the beginning of the semester as well as later in the semester. All 3 groups showed improvements in statistical reasoning, but the greatest improvement occurred in the group that read the everyday application material.

The Given

This paper is about the reconstruction of social presentations (picture, vision) of losers and winners of transition based on the products of the popular culture such as the domestic TV series. The given picture was considered in the context of the 1990s, when those TV series were filmed and aired (broadcast), which means that they are typical, primarily, for the period of the so-called first transition. The analysis meant the abstracting one of the dominant themes in both TV series which refers to a certain family of ordinary people, faced with the everyday problems of the time their time, and those problems being mainly existential ones. The identification of the messages about losers and winners of transition, which was being sent through these TV series, was later continued by establishing a formula based on which the mentioned theme (subject) was structured, and in the end completed by putting in connection the perceived oppostitions via semiotic square. The conceptualization of losers and winners of transition, which is the result of this paper, in no way implies that this vision of theirs is the only and the dominant one in this society. On the other hand, it certainly exists (existed) in the given moment and context and as such it came to surface through domestic TV series as the product of popular culture, through which often widespread and popular attitudes of a society are expressed.

Graphs theory is very important in the mathematical world as an excellent way of connecting with the real world. By using the theory of directed graphs it is possible to transform many of the everyday problems into mathematical problems, so as to make an exact study in each case. In this work we explore the matrices related to the various types of graphs, such as the vertex matrix, which is associated with a directed graph, and the adjacency matrix. Moreover, matrices of multi-step connections are constructed so as to separate the various blades between the vertices of a directed graph. Then, we will construct some applications of those results in the form of examples.

Тhe article examines the everyday problems and moods of towndwellers about the housing crisis at the beginning of 1920s. The article analyzes the publications (editorial articles and articles of the worker correspondents) of the local periodical “Krasnoyarsk Worker” (“Krasnoyarsky Rabochy”), the organ of the Yenisei Provincial Committee of the RCP (b.), during the period 1921-25. The publications of the provincial Siberian periodical are of particular value despite the facts that the newspaper was the Soviet press organ, which implemented and promoted at the local level the policy of the central party committee, and not all the materials that had come to the editorial office were published.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide insight in how military expeditionary task forces cope with the dual challenge of organizing and learning, by reflecting on the experiences of Dutch expeditionary task forces in post-conflict missions in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan. Design/methodology/approach This paper reflects on the outcomes of a research project into the experiences of operators of different specific expeditionary task forces of the Dutch Armed Forces in dealing with everyday problems in their working environment. The case studies were based on interviews with military personnel of all ranks and focused on relating the process of making sense of environmental dynamics to characteristics of the organizational context. Findings The case studies indicate that designing and learning become intertwined in the realities of everyday problem-solving in the more complex missions. As task forces are essentially tailor-made for the purpose of specific missions, units initially need to be selected. Subsequently, the design of the task force needs to be adapted to suit local conditions. This challenge interrelates with the everyday challenge for operators of making sense of their environment and finding pragmatic solutions for the everyday problems they are confronted with. In pragmatically solving everyday problems, operators in the cases engaged in working out incomplete or ill-fitting aspects of the task force design. Practical implications The findings are relevant for military task forces and more in general for organizations that are confronted with dynamically complex environments that rely on temporary structures. Originality/value Existing literatures on learning and on organizing generally treat these as two related but essentially separate phenomena. In the expeditionary military task forces, operators that aimed to develop pragmatic solutions to everyday problems, the processes of learning and organizing became intertwined: units needed to organize to learn and to learn to organize. The paper ends by suggesting a combination of specific circumstances that influences the nature of the interrelation between these processes.

The paradox of field research permits The paradox of field research permits This essay provides an account of the way in which permits for field research in South Sudan were obtained. It shows how, despite the fact that the new country did not have a formal procedure for researchers, doing fieldwork at South Sudans borders with DR Congo and Uganda would have been impossible without a few letters of endorsement signed by people within the South Sudanese government. This inherent contradiction is further complicated by a paradox: The security personnel at the border interpreted the letters differently than the staff in the government offices in the capital. The essay argues that the contradiction between practice and procedures and the paradox of variable legitimacies provide key insight in the everyday organization of the state in South Sudan, both in the center and in the periphery.

Everyday Problems

Incidence of Displacement has been a common issue in the journey of development, and the people who are displaced have often been offered rehabilitation in the form of low-income housing. But those rehabilitations are rarely the coveted solutions to the everyday problems of the poor, neither are they the dream housing complex the poor are made to believe. Rehabilitations are often planned arbitrarily, without proper planning and programme, and the result of the lack of sincerity of the authorities in rehabilitation of the displaced people are paid for by the poor, displaced people. The rehabilitated people, in most cases, are given small spaces to live, notwithstanding the size of the families. This leads to an overcrowded household, sometimes a family of six people are clumped together in a one room flat. The rehabilitated also face the problem of income in the new place, where the Government moved the people, but barely thought of any economic amenities in the surrounding area. The problem of clean drinking water and sanitation has also been noteworthy problems in the rehabilitated places. If displacement could not be avoided, and the question of rehabilitation follows, it is imperative for the authorities to plan fruitful rehabilitation programmes so that the people are not further impoverished, but instead, be empowered.
