Mining Coal

The objective of this work was to analyze the socio-environmental conflict that develops in the community of Rio Carvão, in the municipality of Urussanga, in the south of the State of Santa Catarina. The conflict involves residents of the community and the company UM Urussanga Minérios Ltda. In the locality there are environmental liabilities arising from the activity of mining coal carried out in the past, currently the atmospheric pollution caused by the emission of gases from the processing of coal is directly impacting the lives of residents. The methodology used was based on historicity, temporality, characterization and context, seeking to establish a dialogue with the environmental and social sciences. It was identified that the social actors of the conflict are the Rio Carvão Community Association versus the UM company, with the involvement of the Public Ministry and the municipal government, represented by the city council of Urussanga. The conflict has historical origins in the use and appropriation of natural resources, enhanced by the increase in the emission of gases by the company that found itself in the community due to the harmful way it has been developing its activities.

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Health systems, as part of the social system, consider public values. This study was conducted to examine the role of social values in the health priority setting in the Iranian health system.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> In this qualitative case study, three main data sources were used: literature, national documents, and key informants who were purposefully selected from health care organizations and other related institutions. Data was analyzed and interpreted using the Clark-Weale Framework.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> According to our results, the public indirectly participates in decision-making. The public representatives participate in the meetings of the health priority setting as parliament members, representatives of some unions, members of the city council, and donors. The transparency of the decisions and the accountability of the decision makers are low. Decision makers only respond to complaints of the Audit Court and the Inspection Organization. Individual choice, although respected in hospitals and clinics, is limited in health care networks because of the referral system. Clinical effectiveness is considered in insurance companies and some hospitals. There are no technical abilities to determine the cost-effectiveness of health technologies; however, some international experiences are employed. Equity and solidarity are considered in different levels of the health system.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Social values are considered in the health priority decisions in limited ways. It seems that the lack of an appropriate value-based framework for priority setting and also the lack of public participation are the major defects of the health system. It is recommended that health policymakers invite different groups of people and stakeholders for active involvement in health priority decisions. </p>

‘I Didn't Want to Write This’: The Social Embeddedness of Translating Moonsighting Verses of the Qur'an into Swahili

Qur'an Commentaries

As a result of increasing globalisation the public sphere has expanded over the recent decades. Consequently Qur'an translations increasingly exhibit a highly pluralised concept of religious authority, demonstrating an eclectic use of sources as authors respond simultaneously to local and global discourses. This paper shows how the commentary in a popularising Swahili tafsīr by the preacher Said Moosa al-Kindy on two particular Qur'an verses, Q. 2:185 and Q. 2:189, cannot be understood as the outcome of theological and linguistic considerations only, but rather as a multi-epistemic, socially embedded product. Q. 2:185 and Q. 2:189 are often used to endorse particular viewpoints in East African moon sighting debates. This discourse revolves about the question of whether to accept a crescent sighting report from anywhere in the world to determine the beginning of the lunar month or to wait for a visible moon from a more restricted locality. This paper situates al-Kindy's translation within the wider field of Swahili Qur'an commentaries and compares his treatment of these verses to that in two scholarly products from outside the established genre of tafsīr. One is the polemical discourse on this subject by an Ibadi intellectual writing in Swahili and the second is the lunar calendar and website produced by a Tanzanian book trader. In all three of these works Qur'anic authority is paramount, but if we want to understand the diverse mediations of the Qur'anic message in a specific milieu we should not only look at the influence of exegetical traditions but also focus on social actors and their very personal, localised experiences.

<p>Social actor representation (SAR) is an interesting topic to be analyzed. Through the analysis of the social actor in the news, it invites readers to have critical thinking. In this research, the social actors proposed are the two pair candidates of the 2019 presidential election; Jokowi- Ma’ruf and Prabowo- Sandi. The research has consisted of two research questions. First is, how are the exclusion strategy used in the Jakarta Post online news to represent the social actor. Second is how are the inclusion strategy used in the Jakarta Post online news to represent the social actor. By using the theory of Van Leeuwen (2008), the result of this research shows that the journalist of the Jakarta Post mostly used inclusion strategy rather than the exclusion strategy.The identification strategy is mostly used to get support from the public. The identification is practical in figuring out and portraying a social actor. Journalists represent related to the identity that exists in a figure. The portrayal of the social actors through the identity attached to them can certainly invite more attention to readers.</p>

Social actors claim that sociology studies social reality as a whole, but also concerns the parts, phenomena and processes of this reality, in their many and varied relationship to the whole. In the social space there are many groups that interact in this regard, and because of this there are many types of messages to reach one or the other of the groups.Public opinion is the reaction product of people's minds and the thinking sum of individual form groupthink.Management then applies individual problem then it analysis the public thinking. The reaction occurs using communication media between the individual and the mass of people bringing the two stakeholders to a common denominator and creating symbols that public thinking to answer.

Resumo: Este artigo tem o propósito de analisar a questão da violência contra pessoas idosas na cidade de Itabuna, sul do Estado da Bahia, a partir de denúncias recebidas pelo Conselho Municipal do Idoso. Os casos denunciados, e apurados na pesquisa, refletem o abandono em que se encontram as famílias por parte do poder público, e dão conta de que a violência contra idosos se associa aos frágeis vínculos afetivos construídos por essas famílias, bem como a desvinculação social a que são submetidas, que os reproduzem na convivência familiar cotidiana. Os idosos dependentes de cuidadores acabam sendo as vítimas do descaso do poder público, cada vez mais incapaz de garantir vinculação e pertencimento social a muitos brasileiros, e dos transitórios valores incorporados pelos jovens, onde o idoso não tem espaço. Palavras-chave: Violência. Maus Tratos. Envelhecimento. Abstract: This article has the intention to analyze the question of the violence against aged people in the city of Itabuna, southern Bahia state, from denunciations received by the City council. The denounced cases and the ones which were found out in the research reflect how the public power treats the elder families. It also reflects that the violence against aged is associated with the fragile affective bonds constructed by these families, as well as the social disconnection which they are submitted. The aged who is under somebody’s care can be victim of the public indifference, that is, each time more incapable to guarantee entailing and social belonging to many Brazilians, and victim of the transitory values incorporated by the young people, where the aged one does not have space. Keywords: Violence. Maltreatment. Aging.

Taking the thorough changes in the political regulation of family in Germany as a starting point, this article considers these developments as (discursive) struggles between different social actors over the meaning, the form and the social tasks of family. Family therefore is not considered as a ‘pre-societal’ given but rather a socio-political and power-laden construct, which takes a central role in governing privatized social reproduction and reproductive work. To capture these aspects four critical debates on family are discussed: First, feminist approaches which focus on the separation of the private and the public, second, queer-theoretical approaches which discuss family as a heteronormative concept; third, Foucault’s writings which enables to capture family as an aspect of biopolitics; fourth, Gramscian theory of hegemony which allows analyzing family as a contested notion and a field of struggle.

Different types of social policy of a government or of major social actors define a specific set of necessary and sufficient problems which have to be scientificantly deep formulated and solved.

RESUMO:A comercialização agrícola é uma das atividades mais complexa dentre aquelas que envolvem o sistema da agricultura, uma vez que se trata do momento em que a produção assume a condição de mercadoria. Neste ensejo, o presente trabalho analisa de forma empírico-analítica, a cadeia produtiva e a comercialização de produtos agrícolas por feirantes em Itabaiana/SE. Esse trabalho resulta do acompanhamento das especificidades existentes na cadeia produtiva e na comercialização agrícola em meio a função e as estruturas presentes no âmbito do espaço definido, verificando as políticas públicas e os atores sociais que promovem o mercado agrícola. Atualmente, a feira de Itabaiana é o maior aglomerado comercial e cultural do estado de Sergipe, cuja ação se faz sentir sobre a população local e de outros municípios circunvizinhos e mesmo sobre municípios baianos. Está estruturada com 1.200 bancas que comercializam os mais variados produtos, sendo que cerca de 55% do total são utilizadas na comercialização agrícola. A isso se soma o fato do feirante ser itinerante, atuando em outros municípios sergipanos e baianos. Sendo assim, em Itabaiana, o processo de comercialização agrícola decorre da integração da economia primária às necessidades externas por produtos agrícolas.Palavras-chave: Comercialização Agrícola, Feira e Fluxos. ABSTRACT:The marketing agricultural is one of the most complex activities among those that involve the system of agriculture, since it is the moment when the production assumes the condition of merchandise.

The growth of environmental awareness and preservation and the search for new ways to manage natural resources can minimize the predatory occupation of the Amazon. As a result of this fact, civil society and public authorities developed the Green Municipality project, as a strategy to reconcile production with good environmental practices, in the municipality of Paragominas, state of Pará, Brazil. The research data came from interviews with representatives of the public power in addition to bibliographic and documentary research carried out to analyze the characteristics of this model of environmental management in the municipality of Paragominas-Pará. According to a public manager, the group of family farmers was the most resistant to the implementation of the project in the municipality, as they used the method of clearing and burning the forest on properties for charcoal production and opening new areas for production. Thus, the adoption of an environmental management system does not mean harm and becomes a possible reality even in the Amazon region, which is the scene of so many conflicts, if the social actors act in a collaborative way and the state seeks to mediate interest of both, as well as the search for improvements is constant.

Discourse Practice

The role of online media is really essential in society because it fosters and encourages the public opinion. Therefore, online media could be the most effective interest mean to achieve certain massive purposes, including the reports of certain actor's images. It allows social actor's images to not being reported objectively but instead processed and managed. Thus, it could be said there is a correlation between the language and the domination in the discourse practice to create ideologies with certain purposes.  The point, the mass media has its specific powers to control its information display so its neutrality in the mass media is doubtful. So as this research, the images of social actor’s images, the candidate of Central-Java election 2018, become the focused problems to analyze by Theo van Leeuwen theory. The data sample was obtained from the report discourse in online mass media, such as Kumparan.com, Tribunnews.com, and Sindonews.com about the Central-Java Election 2018, from April-June 2018. The analysis was based on the deletion strategy in which covered suppression and backgrounding. The results showed that Kumparan.com tended to apply suppression in merging the social actors, Ganjar Pranowo-Taj Yasin and backgrounding in the form of a phrase “politikus PDIP, mantan anggota DPR RI yang diperiksa KPK”. (The PDIP politician, the ex of the House whom is investigated by Corruption Eradication Comission). Meanwhile, Tribunnews.com applied backgrounding in the form of “sang petahana” or “incumbent”, meanwhile Sindonews.com did not either put certain social actors in advantage nor marginalize them.
