This article covers several stages of the work of Pichon-Rivière. In the 1950s he introduced the hypothesis of "the link as a four way relationship" (of reciprocal love and hate) between the baby and the mother. Clinical work with psychosis and psychosomatic disorders prompted him to examine how mental illness arises; its areas of expression, the degree of symbolisation, and the different fields of clinical observation. From the 1960s onwards, his experience with groups and families led him to explore a second path leading to "the voices of the link"—the voice of the internal family sub-group, and the place of the social and cultural voice where the link develops. This brought him to the definition of the link as a "bi-corporal and tri-personal structure". The author brings together the different levels of the analysis of the link, using as a clinical example the process of a psychoanalytic couple therapy with second generation descendants of a genocide within the limits of the transferential and countertransferential field. Body language (the core of the transgenerational link) and the couple's absences and presence during sessions create a rhythm that gives rise to an illusion, ultimately transforming the intersubjective link between the partners in the couple and with the analyst.

Takis Zenetos was enthusiastic about the idea of working from home, and believed that both architecture and urban planning should be reshaped in order to respond to this. He supported the design of special public spaces in residential units, aiming to accommodate the inhabitants during working hours. This article argues that Zenetos’s design for “Electronic Urbanism” was more prophetic, and more pragmatic, than his peers such as Archigram and Constant Nieuwenhuys. Despite the fact that they shared an optimism towards technological developments and megastructure, a main difference between Zenetos’s view and the perspectives of his peers is his rejection of a generalised enthusiasm concerning increasing mobility of people. In opposition with Archigram, Zenetos insisted in minimizing citizens’ mobility and supported the replacement of daily transport with the use advanced information technologies, using terms such as “tele-activity”. Zenetos was convinced that “Electronic Urbanism” would help citizens save the time that they normally used to commute to work, and would allow them to spend this time on more creative activities, at or near their homes. The main interest of “Electronic Urbanism” lies in the fact that it not only constitutes an artistic contribution to experimental architecture, but is also characterized by a new social vision, promising to resynchronize practices of daily life. An aspect that is also examined is the relationship of Zenetos’s ideas and those of the so-called Metabolists in the 1960s in Japan, including Kenzo Tange’s conception of megastructures. Zenetos’s thought is very topical considering the ongoing debates about the advanced information society, especially regarding the social concerns of surveillance, governance, and sovereignty within the context of Big Data. His conception of “tele-activities” provides a fertile terrain for reflecting on potential implications and insights concerning home-office conditions not only within the context of the current pandemic situation but beyond it as well.

The emergence of inclusive populist parties disputes the social construction of the ‘people’ to the exclusive populism, recently generating new academic debates. Do the new radical left parties have a nationalist character? Are populism and nationalism two inseparable dimensions? Drawing on an original dataset in Spain, this article shows that Podemos’ supporters are significantly less nationalist, expressing more open attitudes towards cultural diversity and immigration, and lower levels of Spanishness than voters from other parties. Arguably, Podemos operates as an antagonistic political option to the traditional positions of the populist radical right (PRR), building an inclusive imagined community around a type of constitutional patriotism or republican populism. These findings contribute to the scholar debate on the relationship of nationalism and populism, bringing to discussion the core values of the supporters of a populist party as a complementary element to its categorization.

Negotiations between engineering and non-engineering perspectives are central in humanitarian engineering and learning through service initiatives, and these negotiations inevitably include dimensions of social justice. But what frameworks guide engineers through such negotiations? To date, in published scholarship, social justice has played little to no role in providing structure for work in humanitarian engineering and learning through service. Yet structure is needed to think and act systematically on the social justice dimensions inherent in humanitarian engineering and learning through service initiatives and practices. Drawing from multiple data sources, including interviews with engineering education faculty on the barriers and opportunities to integrating social justice dimensions in such initiatives, we provide a social justice definition and criteria that serve as flexible guidelines for humanitarian engineering and learning through service initiatives. Grounded in a synthesized definition of social justice, the social justice criteria can guide engineers to recognize and map human and non-human, engineering and non-engineering components in problem definition and solution—with social justice at the core. Along with other benefits, these criteria can act as a foundation from which to launch, evaluate, and improve on humanitarian engineering and learning through service work, serving as a vehicle for project initiation, reflection, and self-critique.

This article is dedicated to issues of social solidarity actions and it`s features in modern Sociology theoretical framework. The literature review reviled that definition of social solidarity is a complex concept, which is not distinct from related definitions. Separation of Social solidarity characteristics form a significant contribution of this article. They exist in the group, where respect, mutual feelings, trust, unselfishness, pride and suffer from loss or betrayal occur. The forms of social solidarity existence have a substantial role and operate on different levels: around, for and according to something. Solidarity ties have a great importance, which quality depends on the level of covetousness. Such ties can also be motivating factors. Article describes the human behavior in the relations of social solidarity, which varies depending on level of organization, roles (major and secondary), scale. Time factor could be found in the center of the social solidarity concept. It can unite the group and have a simultaneous impact in past, present and future. This article shows the value of social solidarity brought by motives of the group members and moral rules, which might or might not be followed.

The article is devoted to clarifying the essence of the concepts �method�, �measure�, �means�, determining their relationship, the peculiarities of application in different areas of legal reality. The relevance of the study is substantiated, because in general the legal literature does not pay enough attention to the study of etymology, essence, content, etc. concepts used in regulations. Clarification of the essence of concepts should be based on their etymology, and the definition of the relationship, on the justification of positions on their synonymy, antonym, broader/narrower meaning in relation to each other. Most sources, based on the existing rules of legal technique, give examples of unsuccessful definitions in terms of logic and legal language, formulate their own, which other authors are also criticized, and the process is endless and, most importantly, insignificant. The legal encyclopedia clearly defines that the components of management methods are ways and means: �management methods � ways or means of achieving management goals that determine the quality component of management�. However, the modern development of the social sciences, including jurisprudence, is characterized by new approaches based on logical thinking, i.e. the ability of man to reason, namely to reflect the objective reality in ideas, judgments, concepts. The definitions fixed in various sources (dictionaries of foreign words, explanatory dictionaries of the Ukrainian language, textbooks on the theory of the state and law and branch sciences, normative documents) are resulted. In this case, from the numerous materials selected those that reveal the relationship of these concepts. It is proved that in the scientific, educational-methodical, reference literature and in the norms of the current legislation there is no single approach to the definition of the specified terms. It is concluded that most often, one term is defined through another and vice versa, which leads to inconsistent interpretation, differences in application. As for the legal sphere, providing balanced definitions based on etymology, clarifying the essence, interpreting them as basic for further use in the field and applied sciences, in practice � this is primarily the task of theoretical and legal science. Of course, it is necessary to follow common approaches to the relationship of concepts. Therefore, it is proposed to understand the method as a set of methods (research, cognition, etc.). Method � a certain technique, a means to achieve, accomplish something. Means � a set of measures or actions to be able to do, accomplish something, achieve something.

Husserl accepted the influence of descriptive psychology, inherited and developed the concept of intentionality, criticized and innovated the problem of empiricism from epistemology, and Conscious Intentionality has become the core idea of Husserl’s phenomenology. By analyzing Husserl’s concept of consciousness, we can clarify the internal structure of Husserl’s definition of “consciousness” on the basis of understanding the internal relationship of Husserl’s concept of consciousness: the concept of consciousness is not equivalent to the concept of intentionality, only when the concept of consciousness based on intentionality does the real concept of Husserl’s consciousness become manifest. Husserl’s concept of consciousness not only affects Martin Heidegger and Searle, but also has an important influence on the later philosophy of mind, and promotes the integration of philosophy of mind and philosophy of language.

Social interaction creates a vital source of opportunities to learn Mathematics and opportunities for students to talk about their own thinking, and this talk encourages reflection. A study was organized to find out the relationship between the social interaction and the performance of third-year students in geometry. Specifically, the study sought to determine their levels of accidental, repeated, regular, and regulated social interactions; students’ academic performance in geometry; and the relationship between students’ levels of social interaction and their performance in Geometry. The study used the descriptive-correlation method involving 39 students as respondents, and complete enumeration sampling design was used. The descriptive used for social interactions were outstanding, very satisfactory, satisfactory, poor and very poor while for the performance were very high, high, moderate, low and very low. The results showed no significant relationship with the social interaction, while the students’ performance in geometry was very satisfactory. The study concludes that the social interaction has no influence on the performance of students in geometry. The study recommends further study shall be made on the relationship of the students’ performances when clustered according to the different levels of social interaction so that appropriate intervention can be made easily.Keywords—Mathematics Education, social interaction, performance, third year students, geometry, descriptive-correlation method, Davao City, Philippines

Abstract Privacy has been defined as the selective control of information sharing, where control is key. For social media, however, an individual user’s informational control has become more difficult. In this theoretical article, I review how the term control is part of theorizing on privacy, and I develop an understanding of online privacy with communication as the core mechanism by which privacy is regulated. The results of this article’s theoretical development are molded into a definition of privacy and the social media privacy model. The model is based on four propositions: Privacy in social media is interdependently perceived and valued. Thus, it cannot always be achieved through control. As an alternative, interpersonal communication is the primary mechanism by which to ensure social media privacy. Finally, trust and norms function as mechanisms that represent crystallized privacy communication. Further materials are available at https://osf.io/xhqjy/

The approval of the 2014 joint Global Definition of Social Work required that international social work associations review the associated ethical principles of social work. The Global Social Work Statement of Ethical Principles ( GSWSEP) was approved by international social work bodies in Dublin in July 2018. While the previous Statement of Ethics emphasized liberal humanist values common in the European–North American axis, the GSWSEP recognizes the global nature of the social work profession and locates human dignity at the core of social work ethics. The GSWSEP problematizes the core principles of social work, and responds to calls to decolonize social work in the context of the increasing regulation of social work.

AbstractBetween 1940 and 1980, Ernest Mandel (1923–1995) studied many aspects of capitalism. With his magna opera, Traité d'économie marxiste (1962) and Der Spätkapitalismus (1972) he had a great impact on the social movements which emerged in the 1960s and 1970s of the last century. This article attempts to unravel the story of the development of Mandel's economic historical work. It follows the search for the synthesis of late capitalism, positions Mandel in the Marxist tradition and looks for what was innovative in his contributions. The Traité d'economie marxiste was a provocative experiment. The author shows how Mandel replaced history into the core of Marx's economic theory and how he supersedes Eurocentrism by independently asking for attention for Asia, Africa, the Islamic World and pre-Columbian America. Mandel worked on Der Spätkapitalismus for more than ten years. The article shows how Mandel rehabilitated the forgotten 'long-wave theory', which enabled him to offer an explanation for the exceptional postwar expansion, but also made him predict the end of the 'golden days of capitalism'. The study was completed in 1972 in a turbulent West Berlin, where as visiting professor at the leading Otto-Suhr-Institut für Politikwissenschaft he defended his vision in lively debate with students and confrères and where the last theoretical differences were ironed out.
