The Social

The article is devoted to theoretical models, able to validate the methodology of empirical study of relationships in inclusive classes. It discusses the model of social participation suggested by researchers from the Netherlands and designed after the analysis of a number of scientific publications. The article presents an overview of systematic empirical studies of foreign scholars in accordance with the model of social participation. This model is mapped to the structure of the social situation of development proposed by O.A. Karabanova. In authors’ opinion , the concept and the structure of the social situation of development allows analyzing relationships in inclusive classrooms in more details, assessing the psychological and pedagogical conditions and describing the educational effects of inclusive process in education

The Social

The social environment can influence phenotypes through indirect genetic effects (IGEs), whereby genetic variance among interacting individuals explains some of the phenotypic variance. Empirical studies of wild populations often ignore IGEs especially among unrelated individuals, probably due to data limitations. This is problematic because IGEs can crucially affect estimates of heritable variation and subsequently influence the predicted evolutionary change. We here present a quantitative genetic analysis of biparental care in a natural bird population using a genetic pedigree. For both sexes, the conventionally calculated repeatability (15% in the female trait and 19% in the male trait) was lower than the total heritable variation including IGEs (24% in the female trait, and 25% in the male trait). These estimates of total heritable variation was also larger compared to conventionally calculated heritability (13% in both sexes), suggesting that parental care can evolve through social selection. Furthermore, we detected statistically significant genetic covariance between direct genetic effects, and between IGEs and direct genetic effects. Our work showcases how IGEs can represent substantial and important hidden heritable variance and highlights the importance of considering IGEs for theoretical models of parental care for ecology and evolution.

And Migration

The debate over trafficking of human beings for the purpose of organ removal (THBOR) remains largely absent from policy debates, as its crime is hardly detected, reported and sparsely researched. However, criminal networks continue to exploit vulnerable populations, particularly migrants. To help bridge this gap in knowledge, we employ a bibliometric analysis to examine whether the nexus between organ removal and migration is being addressed by the current academic literature. Our results indicate that (1) research exploring the link between THBOR and migrants is relatively scarce; (2) organ trafficking literature output is largely clustered in a couple of Western countries, and (3) despite the international nature of the topic, most empirical studies on organ trafficking and migration lack representation within the social sciences and humanities. Taken together, our results point to a huge gap on scientific publications between THBOR and migration. Quantitative data is required to lift the current knowledge constraints and better inform policymakers.

Institutionalism is the syndrome first recognized and described in inpatient psychiatric facilities,which is now used to describe a set of maladaptive behaviors that are evoked by the pressures of living in any institutional setting. This article traces the development of the theory of institutionalization, which predicts and explains an individual’s response to that particular type of environment. The article makes note of key contributors and contributions, and of empirical studies that have advanced the theory. Underlying perspectives and assumptions are identified and earlier theoretical models are reviewed and critiqued. An updated model of the theory, which includes individual vulnerabilities, objective conditions of the institutional placement, and the resident’s perceptions of the environment, is presented. New directions in the field of institutional care and implications for social workers, particularly for those working in nursing home and prison settings, are discussed, along with recommendations for next steps for theory progression.

The article is devoted to the development and application of the model of upbringing activities using the Internet as a factor in the development of self-understanding of the younger teenager. The basic provisions for the development of this model are formulated: the interpretation of the social situation of development in the context of modern socio-cultural situation; the understanding of upbringing as the creation of conditions for the development of personality, characteristics of self-consciousness and self-understanding of adolescents. On the basis of these provisions, a model of upbringing activities using the Internet as a factor in the development of self-understanding of the younger teenager is described, which is based on its consideration in terms of the activities of the pedagogue and the activities of the child, as well as the emergence of common activities. This position and conducted by the author pilot empirical study offers a model for assessing the level of self-understanding, which includes an assessment of the phases ofits development: pre-understanding, genetic self-understanding, structural self-understanding.

BackgroundOutcomes reflecting the social situation are widely considered as important in the treatment of people with schizophreniaAimsTo review concepts of social outcomes in schizophrenia and the corresponding assessment instrumentsMethodNon-systematic literature review and reflection on conceptual and methodological issuesResultsConcepts of social outcomes in schizophrenia lack agreed definitions and theoretical models. A fundamental issue is the distinction between objective and subjective indicators. More research has focused on subjective indicators, which are only weaklly correllated with objective life situation and show consistent correlations with mood. Various assessment instruments have been developed pragmatically, particularly to measure quality of life and social functioning, and the literature provides extensive data for comparisonConclusionsEstablished instruments exist to measure social outcomes in schizophrenia. Their use requires an awareness of the specific strengths and limitations

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to review scientific publications related to the use of visual arts in pediatric hospitals. Background: Visual arts, particularly painting, have historically played an important role in the design and atmosphere of healthcare spaces, especially hospitals. Methods: From 2000 to 2019, 79 publications located in relevant databases and manual searches were identified and analyzed. Results: Sixty of these publications include empirical studies and 19 theoretical models, comments, or reflections on the use of art in children’s hospitals. Their analysis allows us to differentiate four groups of works: (a) “environmental” includes works whose purpose is to know how visual artistic interventions in the hospital can affect the people who see them, mainly pediatric patients, families, and health workers; (b) “participatory” includes studies aimed at knowing the effect of developing visual arts activities in the hospital; (c) “exploratory” includes works whose purpose was to know more about the children’s perspective using their artistic expressions; and (d) “diagnostic” includes those that use children’s drawings as a tool to diagnose diverse processes related to the pediatric patients’ experience. Conclusions: Taken together, the works we analyzed in our study support the use of visual arts in hospitals as a resource to enhance the well-being of children and families and their experience in the hospital. We indicate two particularly relevant aspects in this sense: the importance of the visual arts in improving the symbolic quality of hospitalization settings and the communication processes that occur in these environments.

Per Se

The article examines social conditions and mechanisms of the emergence in 1982 of a «Dutch» strawberry auction in Fontaines-en-Sologne, France. Empirical study of this case shows that perfect market does not arise per se due to an «invisible hand». It is a social construction, which could only be put into effect by a hard struggle between stakeholders and large investments of different forms of capital. Ordinary practices of the market dont differ from the predictions of economic theory, which is explained by the fact that economic theory served as a frame of reference for the designers of the auction. Technological and spatial organization as well as principal rules of trade was elaborated in line with economic views of perfect market resulting in the correspondence between theory and reality.
