As the global population ages, residential care facilities are challenged to create positive living environments for people in later life. Health care acoustics are increasingly recognized as a key design factor in the experience of well-being for long-term care residents; however, acoustics are being conceptualized predominantly within the medical model. Just as the modern hospital battles disease with technology, sterility and efficiency, health care acoustics are receiving similar treatment. Materialist efforts towards acoustical separation evoke images of containment, quarantine and control, as if sound was something to be isolated. Sound becomes part of the contested space of long-term care that exists in tension between hospital and home. The move towards acoustical separation denies the social significance of sound in residents’ lives. Sound does not displace care; it emplaces care and the social relationships therein. Drawing upon ethnographic fieldwork in a Canadian long-term care facility, this article will use a phenomenological lens to explore how relationships are shaped in sound among residents living in long-term care. Ethnographic vignettes illustrate how the free flow of music through the care unit incited collective engagement among residents, reduced barriers to sharing social space and constructed new social identity. The article concludes that residents’ relationships are shaped within the acoustical milieu of the care unit and that to impose acoustical separation between residents’ living spaces may further isolate residents who are already at risk of loneliness.

Supermodern cities have certain spaces that escape the regulations exerted by the authorities in our living environment. This is the case of interstitial spaces, abandoned areas that are often marginalized by urban planners. This paper presents the results of an autoarchaeoethnographic study focused on the analysis of a 21st Century interstitial space located on the urban periphery of Palma (Mallorca). The methodology used to record the appropriation strategies and practices developed in this space combined direct ethnographic observation with the analysis of materiality. The study aims to address some of the practices developed in such marginal peripheral urban spaces closely related to the non-places characteristic of our current supermodern world. These practices allow us to understand how these spaces work and are conceptualized and to see how they become active elements of our landscape that are crucial for the social development of certain groups and individuals. Through the study of these practices we verified how certain sectors of society make an appropriation and active use of certain marginal public spaces that must be related to large-scale social, economic and historical phenomena. Finally, taking into consideration some of the theoretical foundations of symmetric archeology, we made an assessment of the way in which the very materiality of these spaces (and other elements with which they are associated with) enhance their use as a social space

Abstract There is a growing scholarly interest in the daily life and perceptions of ordinary medieval people, yet there has been little attempt to conceptualise the social space of the rural settlements in which the great majority of the population lived. This article examines how a village or hamlet in England might have been used and perceived in the later Middle Ages (c.1200 to 1500), especially in terms of access and permeability—in other words how open or closed (or, more crudely, ‘public’ or ‘private’) the components of a settlement were, and how the spatial relationships between these components affected their use and social significance. The data are drawn mainly from lowland England, with a special focus on Ewelme hundred in Oxfordshire, an area of mixed countryside including open-field villages and dispersed wood-pasture settlements. It will be argued that differences in openness and closure across space and time supply a guide to rural social interaction as a whole.

State Of Activity

In the second part of the article, the problem of positioning in the space of society ten clusters obtained in the study of European countries in 2016 is solved. The internal structure of clusters is considered by combining the patterns of deviations in the vectors of estimates of immigration, depending on the social characteristics of the carriers of these estimates. For this purpose, the method of formalizing the series of frequency deviations by the Student’s criterion, dispersion, correlation, regression, entropy analyzes, the method of constructing decision trees, tested in previous works of the authors, have been applied. A feature of this approach is going beyond the boundaries of a narrow consideration of paired relationships of features. The direction and force of deviation from some points of the centers of a stable state of activity of mass behaviour and assessments of mass consciousness in the studied area is considered in a broad context of indicators. This makes it possible to construct two-dimensional landscape maps of the vectors of activity deviation and assessments in different clusters of countries presented in the first part of the article and makes it possible to arrive at ideas about the action of common factors of social semantics that determine both the unity and the variety of phenomena found in the ESS-2016 study.

The spatial distribution of forests and the degree of their transformation by man are the result of natural factors and cultural development processes. The border between forested areas and open spaces, as well as the differences between intensively used forests and those showing little or no trace of human intervention, are determined by social values and needs, economic opportunities and political regulation. Using examples from Switzerland, Germany, Austria and France this paper presents the forests perceived by today's populations as a physical and social space that has been profoundly influenced by timber harvesting and forest management, the social significance of which is still in full evolution.

Students Attitudes

This research uses the counter-attitudinal essay paradigm ( Janis & King, 1954 ) to test the effects of social actions on social representations. Thus, students wrote either a pro- or a counter-attitudinal essay on Higher Education. Three forms of counter-attitudinal essays were manipulated countering respectively a) students’ attitudes towards higher education; b) peripheral beliefs or c) central beliefs associated with this representation object. After writing the essay, students expressed their attitudes towards higher education and evaluated different beliefs associated with it. The structural status of these beliefs was also assessed by a “calling into question” test ( Flament, 1994a ). Results show that behavior challenging either an attitude or peripheral beliefs induces a rationalization process, giving rise to minor modifications of the representational field. These modifications are only on the social evaluative dimension of the social representation. On the other hand, when the behavior challenges central beliefs, the same rationalization process induces a cognitive restructuring of the representational field, i.e., a structural change in the representation. These results and their implications for the experimental study of representational dynamics are discussed with regard to the two-dimensional model of social representations ( Moliner, 1994 ) and rationalization theory ( Beauvois & Joule, 1996 ).

The article reveals the social significance of determining the political views of V.V. Rozanov in the system of the thinker’s worldview. The correlation of these views with his political journalism is shown. The genesis of social and political ideas of V.V. Rozanov is revealed. The author specifies his ideological predecessors in the sphere of public thought of the late 19th century and the thinker’s affiliation with the conservative political camp of Russian writers. The author of the article also gives coverage of the V.V. Rozanov’s polemical publications in the press. He outlines the circle of political sympathies and determinative constants in the political views of Rozanov-publicist and proves his commitment to the centrist political parties. The author examines the process of Rozanov’s socio-political views evolution at the turn of the 19th–20th centuries, and the related changes in his political journalism. The evaluations are based on the large layer of Rozanov’s newspaper publicism in the years of 1905–1917. To determine the Rozanov’s position in the “New time” journal editorial office and to reveal the motives of his political essays the author of the article used epistola

Literasi ekologi sosial Islam adalah interaksi manusia dengan lingkungan alam, teknologi, dan sosial yang didasarkan pada prinsip dasar Islam. Rekonstruksi literasi ekologi sosial Islam yang bisa direkonstruksi adalah prinsip dasar Islam yang menegaskan posisi manusia sebagai “pemimpin” yang diberi “amanah” untuk mengelola “bumi” atau “lingkungan alam dan sumber daya alam” sebaik-baiknya. Rekonstruksi literasi ekologis inilah yang kemudian akan diaktualisasikan pada masyarakat. Proses aktualisasi adalah kegiatan aktual dalam menanamkan kesadaran ekologi sosial Islam pada masyarakat yang mana dilakukan dalam ruang sosial keluarga, masyarakat, dan sekolah yang diorganisasi oleh negara melalui kebijakan dan peraturan per undang-undangan. Dengan proses rekonstruksi dan aktualisasi yang terstruktur ini, maka negara akan aktif membangun kesadaran ekologis sosial Islam dengan aktif dan terstruktur dengan baik guna mewujudkan basis kesadaran, ilmu pengetahuan, dan tata nilai ekologi sosial Islam pada masyarakat. Literacy on Islamic social ecology is the human interaction with the natural environment, technology, and social which is based on the basic principles of Islam. Reconstruction of literacy on Islamic social ecology that can be reconstructed is a basic tenet of Islam that affirms the human position as a "leader" by "mandate" to manage "Earth" or "natural environment and natural resources" as well as possible. Reconstruction of ecological literacy is then to be actualized in society. The process of actualization is actual activity in instilling awareness of the social ecology of Islam in the society which is done in the social space of families, communities, and schools organized by the state through policies and regulations. With the process of reconstruction and actualization, then the state will actively build social-ecological awareness of Islam in order to realize a base of awareness, knowledge, and values of Islamic social ecology in society.

The national legal system is determined by traditional elements characterizing the culture and customs that exist in the social environment in the form of moral standards and the law. However, the attitude of the population to the letter of the law, as a rule, initially contains negative properties in order to preserve personal freedom, status, position. Therefore, to solve pressing problems of rooting in the minds of society of the elementary foundations of the initial order, and then the rule of law in the public sphere, proverbs and sayings were developed that in essence contained legal educational criteria.
