Contemporary planning debate goes beyond the issues of material placemaking. It has been proposed that Public Participation Geographical Information System (PPGIS) methods (mapping platforms in particular) can help to achieve civic maturity, sense of agency, and the social development of the inhabitants. However, researchers need to be consciously engaged (e.g., embracing a Participatory Action Research [PAR] approach), to really pass those platforms to the hands of the community and help the inhabitants to form a two-way communication. With the right use, mapping platforms can be more than just a simple data collection tool. Used without deeper awareness, it can only remain a modern tool.

Bad Data

Online data collection has become indispensable to the social sciences, polling, marketing, and corporate research. However, in recent years, online data collection has been inundated with low quality data. Low quality data threatens the validity of online research and, at times, invalidates entire studies. It is often assumed that random, inconsistent, and fraudulent data in online surveys comes from ‘bots.’ But little is known about whether bad data is caused by bots or ill-intentioned or inattentive humans. We examined this issue on Mechanical Turk (MTurk), a popular online data collection platform. In the summer of 2018, researchers noticed a sharp increase in the number of data quality problems on MTurk, problems that were commonly attributed to bots. Despite this assumption, few studies have directly examined whether problematic data on MTurk are from bots or inattentive humans, even though identifying the source of bad data has important implications for creating the right solutions. Using CloudResearch’s data quality tools to identify problematic participants in 2018 and 2020, we provide evidence that much of the data quality problems on MTurk can be tied to fraudulent users from outside of the U.S. who pose as American workers. Hence, our evidence strongly suggests that the source of low quality data is real humans, not bots. We additionally present evidence that these fraudulent users are behind data quality problems on other platforms.

Patriarchy results in gender inequality in the social environment. This makes women and men have roles, status and even emotional levels that tend to discriminate. So that researchers are interested in analyzing and criticizing gender inequality in Indonesia through campaigns carried out by the @lawanpatriarki and @lakilakibaru Instagram accounts, where the two accounts have different backgrounds but have one goal. This research uses a qualitative approach with a critical paradigm and an interpretive type. As for the data collection methods used are screenshots of posts on gender equality content and captions on Instagram accounts @lawanpatriarki and @lakilakibaru, notes, journals, books, and articles on the website or the internet. This data collection is used to obtain information regarding the messages that the two accounts convey in the 'Free from Sexual Violence' campaign posts. Then, the data is processed using a discourse analysis text study of Sara Mills.  From The research conducted shows that the differences in the background of two accounts have the same goal, namely to voice gender equality which applies to all parties, both men, women and others. Everyone has the right to feel free from sexual violence, especially from the shackles of a patriarchy culture. This is because the patriarchy culture is not only detrimental to women but also men.

The article describes the results of sociological research aimed at identification of the citizens` demand in the legal consolidation of opportunities for and results of their participation in urban decision making. A mass semi-structured interview with a selection scope ensuring the statistical spread of no more than 5 % at the confidence level of 0,95 was used as a data collection method. The research was carried out in Tomsk in August 2020. The main results showed that the majority of residents asserted the right of participation in urban decision making and were ready to exercise it. The social participation experience allowed the citizens to identify the issues related to the execution of the decisions and communications during the decision elaboration and to formulate the areas of the participative interaction improvement. The improvement of procedures implies larger information sharing, reporting from municipal government and implementing regular surveys of citizens. From the citizens` standpoint, statutory consolidation is needed in respect of the obligations of the government authorities to make decisions together with citizens and in respect of the issues relevant for citizens, to react and execute decisions without delay, notably with specific punishment measures for non-performance or distortion of data. Obligatory procedures of participative technologies should be surveys, meetings, publication of all information, operation of a single phone number and a hot line, text message mailout, public control over performed works. The municipal practice in general is lagging behind the requests of the modern active, competent and demanding society.

Nazistowski mord na Żydach w prasie polskich komunistów (1942–1944).

Facing the decisive struggle between Nazism and Soviet communism for dominance in Europe, in 1942/43 Polish communists sojourning in the USSR espoused anti-German concepts of the political right. Their aim was an ethnic Polish ‘national communism’. Meanwhile, the Polish Workers’ Party in the occupied country advocated a maximum intensification of civilian resistance and partisan struggle. In this context, commentaries on the Nazi judeocide were an important element in their endeavors to influence the prevailing mood in the country: The underground communist press often pointed to the fate of the murdered Jews as a warning in order to make it clear to the Polish population where a deficient lack of resistance could lead. However, an agreed, unconditional Polish and Jewish armed resistance did not come about. At the same time, the communist press constantly expanded its demagogic confrontation with Polish “reactionaries” and accused them of shared responsibility for the Nazi murder of the Jews, while the Polish government (in London) was attacked for its failure. This antagonism was intensified in the fierce dispute between the Polish and Soviet governments after the rift which followed revelations about the Katyn massacre. Now the communist propaganda image of the enemy came to the fore in respect to the government and its representatives in occupied Poland. It viewed the government-in-exile as being allied with the “reactionaries,” indifferent to the murder of the Jews, and thus acting ultimately on behalf of Nazi German policy. The communists denounced the real and supposed antisemitism of their adversaries more and more bluntly. In view of their political isolation, they coupled them together, in an undifferentiated manner, extending from the right-wing radical ONR to the social democrats and the other parties represented in the underground parliament loyal to the London based Polish government. Thereby communist propaganda tried to discredit their opponents and to justify the need for a new start in a post-war Poland whose fate should be shaped by the revolutionary left. They were thus paving the way for the ultimate communist takeover

This article examines different forms of Ukrainian migrant women’s social remittances, articulating some results of two ethnographic studies: one focused on the migration of Ukrainian women to Italy, and the other on the social impact of emigration in Ukraine. First, the paper illustrates the patterns of monetary remittance management, which will be defined as a specific form of social remittance, since they are practices shaped by systems of norms challenged by migration. In the second part, the article moves on to discuss other types of social remittances transferred by migrant women to their families left behind: the right of self-care and self-realisation; the recognition of alternative and more women-friendly life-course patterns; consumption styles and ideas on economic education. Therefore, I will explore the contents of social remittances, but also the gender and intergenerational conflicts that characterise these flows of cultural resources.

This research article focuses on the theme of violence and its representation by the characters of the novel “This Savage Song” by Victoria Schwab. How violence is transmitted through genes to next generations and to what extent socio- psycho factors are involved in it, has also been discussed. Similarly, in what manner violent events and deeds by the parents affect the psychology of children and how it inculcates aggressive behaviour in their minds has been studied. What role is played by the parents in grooming the personality of children and ultimately their decisions to choose the right or wrong way has been argued. In the light of the theory of Judith Harris, this research paper highlights all the phenomena involved: How the social hierarchy controls the behaviour. In addition, the aggressive approach of the people in their lives has been analyzed in the light of the study of second theorist Thomas W Blume. As the novel is a unique representation of supernatural characters, the monsters, which are the products of some cruel deeds, this research paper brings out different dimensions of human sufferings with respect to these supernatural beings. Moreover, the researcher also discusses that, in what manner the curse of violence creates an inevitable vicious cycle of cruel monsters that makes the life of the characters turbulent and miserable.

The article examines the main forms and methods of agitation and propagandistic activities of monarchic parties in Russia in the beginning of the 20th century. Among them the author singles out such ones as periodical press, publication of books, brochures and flyers, organization of manifestations, religious processions, public prayers and funeral services, sending deputations to the monarch, organization of public lectures and readings for the people, as well as various philanthropic events. Using various forms of propagandistic activities the monarchists aspired to embrace all social groups and classes of the population in order to organize all-class and all-estate political movement in support of the autocracy. While they gained certain success in promoting their ideology, the Rights, nevertheless, lost to their adversaries from the radical opposition camp, as the monarchists constrained by their conservative ideology, could not promise immediate social and political changes to the population, and that fact was excessively used by their opponents. Moreover, the ideological paradigm of the Right camp expressed in the “Orthodoxy, Autocracy, Nationality” formula no longer agreed with the social and economic realities of Russia due to modernization processes that were underway in the country from the middle of the 19th century.

"Feminist Interpretations of Action and the Public in Hannah Arendt’s Theory. Arendt’s typology of human activity and her arguments on the precondition of politics allow for a variety in interpretations for contemporary political thought. The feminist reception of Arendt’s work ranges from critical to conciliatory readings that attempt to find the points in which Arendt’s theory might inspire a feminist political project. In this paper I explore the ways in which feminist thought has responded to Arendt’s definition of action, freedom and politics, and whether her theoretical framework can be useful in a feminist rethinking of politics, power and the public realm.

AbstractThe last decades present a significant development of the economic, social and cultural rights and specifically, the right to health. Until 2000, the right to health has not been interpreted officially. By providing international standards, General Comment No.14 on the right to the Highest Attainable Standard of Health has led to wider agreement that the right to health includes the social determinants of health such as access to various conditions, services, goods or facilities that are crucial for its implementation. The Reports of the Special Rapporteur on the right to health within the UN human rights system have contributed to the process of gaining the greater clarity about the right to health. It is obvious that achieving the highest attainable level of health depends on the principle of progressive implementation and the availability of the necessary health resources. The possibility individual complaints to be considered by the Committee on Economic Social and Cultural Rights was introduced with the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, entered into force in 2013.
